The New Richmond City Council held its monthly session on October 11th.

Council members agreed to an offer from Flow-Rite for $ 31,557 to perform a video inspection of 42,445 meters of sewer and 203 manholes.

Council members approved the purchase of a 2020 Jeep Cherokee from Bernard for a total of $ 20,875 to replace one of the Police Department’s unmarked detective squads. Funds were transferred to various from the 2021 Capital Improvement Plan and insurance funds from previous hail damage Department Vehicles.

After a closed session at the October 11th New Richmond City Council meeting, Councilor Noah Wiedenfeld announced that the city has signed a development agreement with Gerrard Corporation to resume development on the Beebe Building at 307 S. Knowles Ave.

“Gerrard Corporation is tentatively considering coming to the planning committee in December or January with plans for the building,” said Wiedenfeld. “You still have to go through the standard approval process for the building. You had a surveyor on site several times this summer and early autumn. We assume that the financing should be completed in the next few weeks. ”

Funding for the project would include the creation of a new stand-alone Tax Increment District (TID) dedicated to the Beebe Building project.

After the city completed the environmental impact and hazard assessments earlier this year, the city is expected to seek offers to demolish the building this fall, with the demolition scheduled for the winter.

The city expects to start construction of a four-story apartment building with 50 units for 55 years and older with underground parking in the spring of 2022.

Council members approved Resolution # 102102, which tentatively adopts a new map of parish boundaries as required by the St. Croix County Board of Supervisors.

Local governments must redefine parish boundaries and political responsibilities every 10 years to accommodate changing population and demographic trends as identified by the census. The board of directors has the task of monitoring changes to the maps for the city and district administration.

The state lawmakers are responsible for redrawing the district boundaries for the state’s Senate, Assembly, and Congressional districts.

The city of New Richmond exceeded 10,000 in the 2020 US census with an official population of 10,075.

At the county level, population changes typically affect the boundaries of counties, aldermen counties, and county supervisory counties.

The county sent the city its map with the changes in the county supervisory districts in early October. The proposed map creates a new regulatory district in New Richmond.

City clerk Michelle Scanlan and GIS analyst Kyle Wells reviewed the district map and developed three new options for the district maps for community review. They followed six guidelines from the Wisconsin Legislative Reference Bureau.

1. Compactness: Minimize the distance between all parts of a district.

2. Neighborhood: All areas within a district should be physically adjacent.

3. Preserve political subdivisions: District supervisory districts must generally consist of entire districts or municipalities, city councils must consist of entire districts and districts may not cross municipality or district boundaries.

4. Complete Census Blocks: Counties are created by aggregating whole census blocks so that the county’s population falls within the legal range (600-2100), with the Aldermanic Districts having essentially the same population.

5. Changes in parish boundaries reflect: adaptation to annexations and growth. Make a good faith effort to keep the districts equal.

6. Consistency: Make changes to accommodate changes in populations and math needs.

The council chose Plan 6, which addresses population balance and the boundaries of the community well, but is less successful with neighborhood and compactness.

With Plan 6, 34% of the population (3425 residents with approx. 2398 voting age) will be assigned to a new constituency. More than 34% will experience a parish change, but no Aldermanic district change.

The council has until October 14th to provide the district with its proposed map of the municipal boundaries.

On November 2nd, the St. Croix County Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing and then adopt a final supervisory district plan.

Residents can expect a rigorous information campaign, similar to the reassessment and early election campaigns by the bureau’s office, to educate residents about the change.

Council members agreed to a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Focus on Energy to participate in its Save to Give Challenge. Focus on Energy is a not-for-profit initiative overseen by the Wisconsin Public Service Commission. It aims to facilitate behavioral changes when households, businesses and nonprofits invest in energy efficiency measures in order to provide themselves with cleaner energy.

New Richmond is one of two parishes selected to take part in the challenge. By taking simple steps to reduce energy consumption, residents can raise funds to support local nonprofits.

The City of New Richmond will partner with New Richmond Utilities and Focus on Energy to plan, prepare, and promote a community-wide energy saving challenge, educate and motivate residents to conserve energy, and fund a local nonprofit .

The challenge is set to begin in 2022. Individual households voluntarily take part in two eight-week energy-saving campaigns over a period of 12 months.

The program uses the MyMeter engagement software and mobile application to introduce, track and report energy-saving behaviors. By keeping a record of their energy saving efforts online, homeowners have the opportunity to support three of their favorite local charities. The more residents participate, the more money can be collected and donated. Eligible nonprofits can earn up to $ 25,000.

Nonprofits must apply and must “be a resident or work in the New Richmond community, be a 501 (c) 3 entity, use funds donated from the Save to Give Challenge for the benefit of the community, and be willing to actively recruit participants for the program. ”

Three local nonprofits are selected by a group of community members and stakeholders to take part in the Save to Give Challenge.

Non-profit organizations can apply by visiting focusonenergy.com/savetogive or contacting Brady Steigauf at brady.steigauf@focusonenergy.com. You can also call 608-284-1756.

Seton Hall guard Kadary Richmond first signed up to Syracuse from Brewster (NH) Academy in October 2019 after also considering Seton Hall, Oregon and St. John’s. He previously attended Brooklyn South Shore High School.

Kadary Richmond didn’t feel that his talents were being fully appreciated under Jim Boeheim, coach of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in Syracuse.

The four-star recruit from Brooklyn signed up for Orange in the fall of 2019, but his tenure at the school lasted only a year. After an average of 6.3 points, 3.1 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 21 minutes per game at Point Guard, who plays behind Joe Girard in his sophomore year, Richmond got its name on the NCAA Transfer Portal last spring released.

Quarterback Kyle Lauletta had an amazing game herself. He threw for the best 415 yards of his career, now ranked fourth all-time for a single game. Wide receiver Brian Brown caught seven balls for 204 yards, finishing fifth in school history. Brown became the first Richmond receiver since John Henry in 1986 to amass more than 200 yards through the air.

Green finished his Spider career in fifth place all-time in program history with 2,969 career yards on 547 carries from 2012-15. He scored 28 touchdowns on the ground, finishing fourth in a Spider career. His 21 lavish touchdowns in 2015 – five of them against the Dukes – are still considered the most in a single season in program history.

“It was going to be a big week of rivalry – Richmond vs. JMU – and this ESPN Gameday put a big magnifying glass on it. After that they really had a bitter taste in their mouths because you really can’t get that (ESPN Gameday) moment back. “

Richmond Hill and Bryan County flexed their muscles and rolled easily into the second round of the GHSA State Softball Playoffs this week with wins.

Katie Rearley beat one-hitters in a row on Tuesday and the Wildcats continued their success late season to beat the overtaken Tuckers 8-0 and 11-0 at Wildcats Field. Richmond Hill (16-8) will be at No. Play 3 Dacula (19-5).

A day later, Hayden Joyner played a perfect game in the opening game and came back with a three-hitter in game two, while Bekah Johnson flexed the muscles to lead Bryan County to 9-0 and 12-0 wins over Seminole County (21.7).

Bryan County (15-5), who finished third in the Class A tournament last year, will also face a tough test in his next round when it comes to Macon to face Ace Charter (25-0). The Gryphons are the number 1 and the only undefeated team in the state.

Richmond Hill finished fourth in Region 2 in the regular season but was given the right to play at home when he finished second behind Effingham County in the regional tournament.

The Wildcats have now won four of their last five games, scoring 60 hits as a team during that stretch, with Rearley turning off the lights.

Rearley, plagued by a high ankle sprain early in the season, is in a hot phase. In three regional tournament games and the two against Tucker, the senior is 3-1 with a 0.078 ERA and a WHIP of 0.7407. In her last 27 innings, she has struck out 47 while running four and giving up 16 hits.

The team’s game comes as no surprise to first-year coach Chris Jenkins, who has led Richmond Hill for the third straight round in the second round.

“We felt like we had a special group in July,” said Jenkins. “Everything we’ve done works towards October.

“Look at what we’ve been doing for the past four or five weeks,” Jenkins said. “In every game we lost, we went to the last out or the last inning.

“The girls are coachable and do what it takes to win. They never questioned what we do. They are really nice kids. Good children. “

Seniors Avery Fisher, Daisy Avery, and Allie Washington led the attack on the unsuspecting Tucker.

Fisher was 7 for 7 in the two games with seven RBI. She had a total of 14 bases when she homered, tripled, and had two doubles with three singles.

Daisy Avery, a slap hitting specialist, was 6 for 6 and scored five runs as she raised her batting average to a team-leading .491. Washington ran their hitting streak on 11 straight games and wasted no time settling the second game when they hit a triple homer in the first inning.

Fisher and Washington both said that playing at Dacula is a tough challenge but doesn’t make her shiver in her boots.

“We played it in the second round when we were still in our sophomore year,” said Washington. “We know who they are. They are a good team, but we play well and with confidence.

“Our team chemistry is really good. That is probably the biggest difference between last and this year. “

Playing away, said Fisher, seems to get the most out of the Wildcats. Nine of her victories have been taken on the road.

“It feels good to be playing at home in front of family and friends,” said Daisy Avery. “But I have the feeling that we play better on the road. We like to annoy the people in their place. “

If Bryan County is to re-run the Final Four, it has to be street warriors. If the momentum from Seminole County (21-7) is any indication, the roster is up to the task.

In her first game win against the Indians, left-handed Johnson continued her stellar season by scoring two home runs and six runs from her starting position. She had a double homer in the second inning and crowned her day with a bases-loaded shot in the fifth.

Johnson was 1: 2 in the second game. At the end of the day, she beat .645 with nine home runs and 41 RBI.

Joyner, now 44-10 for her career and a junior like Johnson, didn’t take a hit in the two games. She allowed three hits in the second game, all in the first inning, and helped with a double single on her own.

Mackensie Bailey and Amber Gray each had two hits in the first game. Bryan County only managed seven hits in the second game but was aided by five Indian mistakes in a competition limited to four innings. With a 1-0 lead, Bryan County scored five runs in the third and finished six runs in the fourth.

RICHMOND, Ind. – Orange fences block access to once beautiful wraparound porches of neighboring historic homes on East Main Street in Richmond.

It’s easy to imagine former residents sitting on these verandas and watching the traffic. However, these porches are not safe now. Wood and other materials protrude at strange angles, and collapses have opened holes in the roof.

On Tuesday, the city’s heritage preservation commission agreed that the verandas must be removed from buildings 2110 and 2116 E. According to a press release, certificates of adequacy were issued for the moves.

The city police department brought the verandas to the commission for violating city laws and posing a security risk. Commission approval was required because the properties are in the Linden Hill Conservation District.

Property issues, which include foreclosure proceedings, have fueled the deterioration of the two vacant properties. County Property Records lists Mark Olson of Oelwein, Iowa as the owner of 2110 E. Main St. and Kris Nelson and Heaven and Benjamin Johnson as the owner of 2116 E. Main St., known as the Crain Building.

Nelson acquired the Queen Anne-style Crain building in 2010 under an agreement between First Merchants Bank, Preserve Richmond, the Richmond Historic Preservation Commission, and Indiana Landmarks. He planned to do business in the 130-year-old building that served as a residential building, sanatorium, hospital, inn, tourist center, and residential building.

That never came to fruition, and the Johnsons agreed to buy the property under a land contract in March 2016, saying that after the renovation, their family will move to the residence on the northwest corner of North 22nd and East Main Streets would. However, they soon encountered criminal and civil problems and their renovation work was halted.

Nelson filed a lawsuit against Johnson in August 2018 to recover the property. However, that lawsuit was dismissed in August 2020 when the sides failed to meet twice and submitted the necessary notices to the court.

Nelson also sold the neighboring property to Olson under a land contract. A lawsuit Nelson filed against Olson in August 2018 to regain ownership of that property remains pending; However, it has shown no activity since a subpoena was served on Olson in August 2020.

Meanwhile, the city continued to file weed liens on both lots, including as recently as August, and property taxes owed have accumulated. This year, according to the county records, $ 3,279.48 is owed for the Crain property and $ 509.55 for the 2110 property.

Indiana Landmarks has agreements on both properties, and its president, Marsh Davis, spoke during the commission meeting on Tuesday. Indiana Landmarks supported the removal of the porches, according to the press release. The group will document the historical character of the verandas so that it can be incorporated into future work on the buildings.

Davis also said Indiana Landmarks will work to find a legal solution to the property’s ownership problems and is determined to stabilize and preserve the properties, the announcement said. The city will monitor the public risk the two buildings pose and will work with Indiana Landmarks to investigate solutions, the announcement said.
