CONRAD – No sleep. The burden of expectations and a bundle of nerves.
  
It would all be over in less than 15 seconds.
  
Jack Garber burst forth from the blocks in the 110-meter high hurdle finals at the Drake Relays on Friday morning. Linn-Mar's Trent Davis had beaten the BCLUW senior by a hair in the preliminaries.
  
Garber was faster this time, he could feel it.
  
The Iowa State recruit later recounted feeling like he was flying. He felt like he had Davis beat.
  
Then Garber clipped a hurdle. And another.

REINBECK – The first 40 minutes were going to be too much to overcome.
  
But Grundy Center/Gladbrook-Reinbeck boys soccer showed improvement in the second half with Waverly-Shell Rock, leaving some positives for the GC/G-R boys in an otherwise difficult 5-2 drubbing by the Go-Hawks.
  
An early Aiden Wyatt goal put GC/G-R ahead in the first seven minutes, but W-SR tied the game back up nearly a minute later on a Dylan Eggleston penalty kick, the first of five unanswered goals for the Go-Hawks.
  

Supervisors approve two new hospital board members

Rick Smith and Melody Hoy officially became the two newest members of the Grundy County Memorial Hospital board of directors on Monday morning after the board of supervisors voted to approve their confirmations.
           
Smith, a Grundy Center native who is now back in his hometown, is the vice president of Grundy Center Chamber-Main Street and a member of GCMH’s foundation board. Because he is the son of Grundy County Supervisor Barb Smith, she abstained from voting, and his appointment was approved by a 4-0 measure.

A Grundy Center woman is facing felony charges over allegations that she broke into a residence in town and assaulted the occupant.
           
According to a criminal complaint, 34-year-old Theresa Stearns kicked down the door at a residence in Grundy Center on Tuesday, April 30, and delivered “several blows causing injuries to the hand, neck and face” of a female victim. The filing does not indicate, however, that Stearns stole any items after entering the house.
           

Read it and sleep

Published by admin on Fri, 09/13/2019 - 8:42am

One of my favorite pastimes when any big news story breaks is gauging the way people react to it, especially when it involves the release of a publicly available document they couldn’t be bothered to read themselves. In this regard, the Mueller Report is the granddaddy of ‘em all—a 400-page summary of two years and $30 million worth of work—and yet, I feel like I could’ve hired a group of high school kids to investigate the 2016 election and arrived at roughly the same conclusion.
