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 — 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.
