REINBECK – After over 30 years in practice at the Reinbeck Family Dental Clinic, longtime hometown dentist Dr. Douglas Koele retired on September 15, and turned over the reigns to Dr. Sigita Jankunas.
Jankunas, a native of Lithuania, graduated from the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences in Kaunas in 1991, and worked as a dentist in Lithuania for 12 years before moving to the U.S.
She obtained her dental license in the U.S. after graduating from the University of the Pacific Dental School in San Francisco in 2008 as a general dentist.

Heartland Cooperative Vice President of Administration Terry Frahm inquired about what incentives Mid Iowa Co-Op would receive on its expansion project north of Grundy Center and bemoaned what he considered a potential unfair advantage for his competitors during Monday morning’s Grundy County Board of Supervisors meeting.
           

For the 34 members of the BCLUW FFA chapter who received their jackets on Sunday evening, the ceremony represented more than just the beginning of a new year: it’s an entirely new era under the leadership of ambitious director and second year Vocational Agriculture instructor Tara Leytham.
           

A Marshalltown man who was convicted of felony burglary in Grundy County in 2012 has recently been charged with his sixth probation violation after allegedly pouring urine on a female victim and hitting her over the head with a bedpan on August 19.
