DIKE – Most scoring deficits are going to feel tame for Dike-New Hartford baseball this summer.
  
The Wolverines showed that they could erase a 10-run deficit on the road at Charles City on June 7, and D-NH needed to find a way exactly one week later when rival Aplington-Parkersburg came to town.
  
The Falcons brought some of the toughest challenges the Wolverines have faced yet, but a couple of rallies kept D-NH out of the loss column with an NICL East sweep at Dike-New Hartford High School.

DIKE – Dike-New Hartford softball was aggressive in a 14-4 victory over Aplington-Parkersburg in Game 1 of an NICL East doubleheader on Friday night, but the Falcons answered with a 7-6 win in Game 2, holding off a late Wolverine rally as D-NH split with the Falcons at Dike-New Hartford High School.
  
The Wolverines scored two runs in the seventh and had the potential tying run at second with one out, but A-P's Makenna Brouwer made a nice catch on a pop fly to shallow center for the second out and Falcons pitcher Hailey DeVries got the third out to end D-NH's late threat.

The last rockin' daddy in the U.S.A.

For all intents and purposes, I’ve given up on new music in the last few years. I don’t consider it an “Old/young man yells at cloud” reaction to the trends of the day—I enjoy “Old Town Road” as much as the next guy—but does anyone within sniffing distance of the mainstream write albums anymore? Or is everything a computer-generated algorithm designed solely with streams and viral success in mind?
           

A Cup of Kindness: Local coffee shop helps people pay it forward

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

GRUNDY CENTER - A free cup of coffee may not seem like a big deal to some people, but when given as a random act of kindness, it can make someone’s day.
 
In an effort to help foster these random acts of kindness, the local coffee shop in town - The Natural Grind - has set up their own system of paying it forward. When visitors walk into the coffee shop, they’re greeted by a sign filled with names, that says “buy a drink for a friend.” If someone’s name is on the board, that means they’ve been bought a free drink by a friend.
