Paper welcomes intern

Madeline Reida, a student at Butler Community College, has joined the Marion County Record staff as an intern.

“I’m excited to report on stories close to my home,” the Goessel resident said. “I’m surprised just how much goes on in small towns like mine, and I’m always ready to learn more about our community and its people.

“I also write creative fiction, and I like to research folklore and urban legends. As well as dote on my cat.”

She will graduate in May with an associate’s degree in mass communications.
