New Richland is ‘out of the crisis’ after September floods

After about 700 square miles of south and southeastern Minnesota was flooded with 6 inches or more of rain in 24 hours, senators Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith, along with Rep. Brad Finstad, asked President Donald Trump and his administration to approve the state of Minnesota’s request for a Major Disaster Declaration for Individual Assistance. Gov. Tim Walz’s request for disaster assistance for the period of Sept. 18-20 covers Fillmore, Houston, Steele and Waseca Counties. New Richland, a city of 1,200, was flooded with about 9 inches of rain, which forced evacuations during the Sept. 19 flood. The Waseca County Board of Commissioners had declared a state of emergency after the flood. “In the city of New Richland alone, more than three-quarters of homes are damaged and residents of a skilled nursing facility were evacuated and unable to return to the facility,” the Democrats and Republican wrote in a letter to Trump on Nov. 3. “This storm event has been assessed as at least as destructive as the July 2026 mega-rain that many of these communities experienced and were recovering from just months prior.” Minnesota Realtors and the REALTORS Relief Foundation announced in October that a $70,000 grant was available

‘Jane Elliott Against The World’ Is A Lesson In Unlearning Prejudice / DOC NYC

The 17th edition of DOC NYC includes in its line-up an extraordinary cinematic account that defies racism. Jane Elliott Against The World, directed by Judd Ehrlich, retraces how in the morning following the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. in April 1968, Jane Elliott, then a third-grade teacher in the small town of Riceville, Iowa, devised an exercise that would change the course of her life. Facing an all-white classroom, she divided her pupils according to eye colour, treating one group as superior and the other as inferior. By creating a miniature version of a discriminatory society within the classroom, she wanted her students to experience first-hand the mechanisms and emotional consequences of racism. What began as an unconventional teaching exercise soon became one of the most influential and controversial educational experiments in modern American history, turning an unknown schoolteacher into a national figure and a lifelong activist. Nearly sixty years later, at the age of 92, Jane Elliott remains as outspoken, uncompromising and combative as ever.
