After almost five years of planning and 1,100 miles of travel, the city of Wellsburg has a new fire truck, the third in its arsenal, and fire chief Greg Winger and mayor Cami Nederhoff spoke to The Grundy Register about the long process late last week.
           
“We’re very excited,” Nederhoff said. “We found a piece of equipment that not only balances the taxpayer dollars within the city of Wellsburg as well as the needs of the fire department.”
           

The BCLUW board of education discussed some summer projects and hired a replacement for longtime facilities director Barry Hoy at last Wednesday morning’s regular meeting.
           

A win is a win, no matter how you get it, and Grundy Center girls’ basketball coach Matt Lindeman was excited to head into break with a victory after his team defeated Dike-New Hartford 34-31 last Thursday night in cross-divisional NICL action.
           
“Everybody stepped up at different times and played a key role in this win. It was nice to finish that,” Grundy Center coach Matt Lindeman said. “We didn’t play real well, but we found a way to win.”
           

During the holiday season, the Salvation Army has become a ubiquitous presence across the country: the organization is known for placing bell ringers outside of major shopping centers, and it got a national plug last Sunday when Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott jumped into a life-size kettle on the field after scoring a touchdown. What people may not know, however, is that the Salvation Army actually has a chapter in Grundy County, and local representative Jane Katzer of rural Conrad is hoping to increase its outreach to help more families in need.
