PLYMOUTH — Punky’s Pantry is a new bakery that opened in downtown Plymouth Monday. Owner Cammy Jones, her husband Randy, and mother-in-law Caro have a simple business model: make a different delicious pastry every day, offer some coffee and tea, and open early enough for downtown employees to swing by before work. They’ve set up shop inside the Plymouth Downtown Commons building, in the hallway next to Furore Photography, Healing Hands Massage, and L&K Serendipity.

PLYMOUTH — City street department employees began demolishing the Bauer building (former home to Reese's Hearing Aids) this morning, and they say that the job will take the rest of the day and tomorrow.
Habitat for Humanity ReStore employees made a final visit to the building before demolition began, taking anything of value to sell in the ReStore. During the demolition process, the city parking lot adjacent to the Bauer building will be closed.
Watch a video of the demolition here:

PLYMOUTH — Washington Elementary School students learned a few things about a balanced life Friday at the school’s annual health fair. Beyond just nutrition and exercise, the students also picked up some tips on fire safety — courtesy of volunteers from the Plymouth Fire Department — seatbelt use, and teeth brushing.
“We are just encouraging activity,” said physical education teacher Mike Kershner. “So many kids these days just go home and watch TV.”
Kershner added that he was surprised he had to teach students outdoor games such as kickball since they didn’t already know how to play.
Bremen’s Josh Brenneman recorded wins in three events as the Lions placed second at the Northern State Conference boys track meet last week.
John Glenn freshman tennis player Kyler Columbia won the 2 singles flight at the Northern State Conference championship last week.
PLYMOUTH — The Plymouth baseball team has already seen its share of one- and two-run games this season. Add Saturday’s contest with South Bend Clay to that list.
Pinch hitter Justin Drudge came through with a big hit, and Hayden Skirvin drove him home with the game-winner as the Pilgrims came from behind to down the Colonials 5-4 in eight innings at home at Bill Nixon Field.
ARGOS — Offense was in abundance on Saturday when the Plymouth softball team traveled to Argos for an in-county non-conference matchup.
Both teams brought their bats in a matchup that saw 86 hitters come to the plate, 23 runs scored on 27 hits, and runs in every inning by either one or both teams. In the end, it was Plymouth prevailing by a 16-7 score over the Lady Dragons in a contest more competitive than the final score might indicate.
