REINBECK – Amidst a crowd of over 50 people who packed into City Hall on Monday night, the Reinbeck City Council approved a $180,000 funding request for the Little Rebels Learning Center, an issue that’s become somewhat contentious over the last several weeks.
Since February, the Little Rebels Learning Center has been full to capacity, says Robin Moore, director of the daycare portion of the center.
“Right now, we have a waiting list of 21 kids,” Moore said. “We’ve had to start turning families away.”

Better ugly than good: penalty kick propels Rebels past Cadets in regional semis

Published by admin on Fri, 09/13/2019 - 8:41am

Friday night’s girl’s Class 1A regional semifinal matchup between Grundy Center/Gladbrook-Reinbeck and Iowa Falls-Alden could easily be characterized as a slobberknocker or a schoolyard brawl: yellow cards were everywhere, injury timeouts were aplenty and fans of the opposing teams even exchanged words with each other. In the end, however, it was a single penalty kick that made the difference as Rebel junior Maddie McMartin scored midway through the second half to lift her team to a 1-0 upset win and a berth in the regional finals against Nevada.

   MARSHALLTOWN – Though the Grundy Center boys’ golf team fell short of a team goal at the Class 1A state golf meet last weekend, there were many signs that the future remains bright for Spartans golf.
