GRUNDY CENTER – The Grundy Center-Dike New Hartford academic decathlon team crushed the competition and took home the trophy during the regional competition at the Grundy Center High School last Thursday.
This year marks the school’s first regional competition win since the 2010-2011 school year. Along with winning the overall competition, the team also won the Super Quiz event, and broke several school records.

GRUNDY CENTER – At Monday night’s regular Grundy Center City Council meeting, the discussion turned again to Ordinances 525 and 526, a set of ordinances which propose building fees and permits for re-roofing and fence-building projects.
During the public forum, Paul Sealman of Grundy Center addressed the council to voice his concerns on the ordinances.
“It’s my opinion that the people of Grundy Center do not need any new taxes,” Sealman said. “This is how many will perceive these two ordinances.”

After a report about the unsavory conditions at a small white house just south of Beaman aired on KWWL Channel 7 News last week, the issue of animal welfare was suddenly thrust into the spotlight locally, but one shelter director says that the response is months- and even years- too late.
 

It’s the last thing anyone wants to hear: that someone they love has gone missing. For Rita Stewart of Conrad, it was her service dog Bianca, who works with both elementary and high school students at BCLUW, and when she first came home to an empty kennel on Jan. 11, Stewart expected the worst. Bianca was spotted in the country just south of Beaman a few days later, however, and local UPS deliveryman Kyle Dougherty became a hero to both Stewart and her Comet family as she was reunited with her dog.
