Library good fit for Franklin Printing
|  | | Keith and Amanda Ortloff, owners of Franklin Printing, plan to move the retail part of their printing business to their new location in the former public library building on Sept. 15. The printing portion of the business will be moved before Oct. 1. Also in the photo are their children, Mitchell and Grace. |
Franklin Printing will close its doors on 10th Street on Sept. 10 ... but it will reopen in the former library building on 13th Street on Wednesday, Sept. 15, in a bigger facility and in what owners Keith and Amanda Ortloff call "a better location."

| | Hunger: It's a very real issue | When most people think of hunger as an issue, they think of third-world countries - rail-thin people struggling to find their next meal.
But hunger also is a very real issue right here in McLeod County, a group of about 80 people heard Thursday night.
McLeod For Tomorrow, a county leadership program, hosted a forum on the local hunger issue at the Hutchinson Event Center.
|  | | Glencoe grad returns to commemorate liberation of Buchenwald prison camp | Looking at 88-year-old Merrill Burgstahler, one would not think of him as a public speaker; in fact, he does not consider himself a public speaker. But he has been just that in recent years.
And he does it so the world will not forget what he saw at the end of World War II - the results of the systematic elimination of whole groups of people.

The Glencoe-Silver Lake tennis team is off to a roaring start.

GSL QB Kyler Anderson runs a keeper. |
Glencoe-Silver Lake's last four football teams have combined for 53 wins in 56 games.
Those teams have appeared in four Prep Bowls and won three Class AAA state championships; won two Wright County Conference titles outright and shared a third; and extended program winning streaks to 33 games at Stevens Seminary Stadium, dating back to the year (2005) GSL's home venue opened, and 24 games in Class AAA sections, where a GSL team last lost in 2001. | | | Roster is loaded with experience | Here are three good reasons to feel excited about the 2010 GSL volleyball team:
• Momentum. After dropping their first five Wright County Conference duals, the 2009 Panthers won their last three league tests. Indeed, by downing Orono 3-0, Mound-Westonka 3-1 and Litchfield 3-0, GSL's girls took some positive momentum into the winter, spring and summer. | |
