MOUNT VERNON– The Eastern Iowa Brass Band will present its annual Christmas concert on Saturday, Dec. 17, at 7:30 p.m. in the Mount Vernon District Auditorium.

NORTH LIBERTY– It’s that time of year, and hunting season is well underway. According to a 2011 family survey, fresh or frozen meats are the most sought after items at the North Liberty Community Pantry. The pantry is now seeking hunters willing to donate an extra deer to the pantry. The goal is to receive 10-15 deer processed for the holiday season. Bud’s Custom Meats in Riverside has agreed to process deer for $50 on behalf of the pantry. The pantry is also accepting donations of cows and hogs for the purpose of providing fresh meat to its clients.

IOWA CITY– In 2009, a board-appointed high school task force came up with a recommendation to build an additional high school when it is financially feasible to build and operate one. The students are almost there, but finances are up for debate.
So the district has tinkered with school boundaries and changed its high school enrollment rules, trickling students out of crowded neighborhoods.

SOLON– The Lady Spartans got down and couldn’t climb back.
The West Delaware Hawks and the Solon Lady Spartans fought a defensive battle Friday night in Solon, but the home team couldn’t overcome a slow start in the 31-30 loss.
The Solon girls spotted the Hawks an 11-2 first quarter lead, then held West Delaware to 20 points the rest of the way.
“We let their scorers have too many open looks,” Head Coach Mark Sovers noted. But the Lady Spartans played better defensively as the game progressed, he said.
