Over the lunch hour, head chef and manager Bob Paek reported that they had a nice crowd of about 20 people come for a bite to eat. Business remained steady throughout the day. When I stopped by with my family for supper at about 6 o'clock, traffic through the door picked up quite a bit. Overall, Paek and the rest of his crew were quite pleased with how the first day went. Their menu...
The Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa Jaguars volleyball team came out on a mission to start the Sub-Section 5A-West playoffs and methodically took apart Atwater-Cosmos-Grove City in a 3-0 sweep on Thursday night.

Head coach Kevin Weller knows that's exactly what's needed each and every night they can continue playing in the...
