Submitted by admin on Wed, 03/11/2020 - 11:37am

Larry Johnson, of Phoenix, Ariz., and a landowner in Stewart, is in the midst of a 25-day hunger strike to protest what he claims is harassment from area law enforcement. Johnson was cited three times for moving violations in a 90-minute span in Brownton Oct. 2, 2018, and in April of 2019 for not wearing a seat belt or changing the address on his license. He’s also had his license suspended. Johnson, an HVAC contractor, is parked in the courthouse parking lot, accompanied only by his support pig, “Adam,” a Juliana pig. Johnson is consuming only water but is feeding the miniature pig.

Ashley Cohrs and her son, Grayson, played at the playground adjacent to the GSL Early Childhood Family Education facility.

While coaches this time of year oftentimes glance out the window wondering how long until their athletes can head outside to practice, Taylor Jones is understandably anxious for the snow to melt and fields to be ready for play.
Jones is Glencoe-Silver Lake’s new varsity softball coach.
Monday, March 9, was the official start of the softball season. Jones was one of two internal candidates to replace Steve Davis, who resigned Jan. 27. Jones takes over a program with plenty of experience but a little bit short on senior leadership.

Having set aside money for the initial phase of work, the Glencoe City Council is apparently ready to begin the process of formulating a comprehensive plan.
The city’s approach is to work on the study incrementally. The council’s approved 2020 budget includes $36,000 for the initial portion of a phased approach. The city estimates it will spend about $100,000 on the plan over two years, said City Administrator Mark Larson. The requests for proposals (RFP) will help the city determine how much it can get for its money over time, he said.
