A top speller – GSL’s Magnuson finishes second at state bee

Not everybody enjoys the uncertainty if the word they are writing is spelled correctly. Reese Magnuson isn’t one of those people.
The Glencoe-Silver Lake eighth-grader is one of the state’s top spellers. After finishing atop the competitors at the regional bee in Redwood Falls Feb. 4, she finished second in the state spelling bee Feb. 18 in Fergus Falls, just missing a trip to compete for a national championship in the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington D.C.

Council nixes more talks on acquiring creamery property

At least for now, the city of Glencoe’s interest in acquiring the old Glencoe Creamery building has curdled after the city council decided against seeking additional information on a proposed acquisition in a closed-door meeting.
The meeting was intended to consider a proposal from North Central Companies of Minnetonka to acquire the building and property, possibly for redevelopment. It was part of the city council’s Feb. 18 agenda, a meeting held after The Chronicle’s Feb. 19 edition meeting went to press.

As Election Day nears, he’s pondering a primary pass

For the first time since I can remember, I might not vote this year … in the new state presidential primary that is.
I am a strong believer in voter participation, but the way the state primary is set up, there is no room for someone like me who votes for the person, not the party. I have no intention of declaring my allegiance to either the Republican and Democrat party, mainly because I support parts of each and much of neither.
So how can I pledge loyalty to a split ticket? I can’t, so I don’t plan to vote in the primary.
