By Jaime E. Love 1 day ago

Considered the heart of BMW’s brand, the new 3 Series will score a refresh in time for its local launch in the last quarter of 2022. Key to these changes is a new styling package, which will further enhance the sporty look of sedan and touring models.

The front has been redesigned to include styling changes to the LED headlights, which have been slimmed down, while the daytime running lights have been rearranged into an inverted L-shape for a more contemporary look.

BMW’s signature kidney grille has had adjustments made to its contours, as well as the addition of new double bars, to give it a more aggressive look, while gloss black air intakes below the grille cool the brakes.

Through a new program at Park View Community Mission, Lynchburg community leaders are stepping up to the plate to deliver sporting goods and apparel to city children in need.

The Lynchburg Sports Locker, located inside Park View, is a partnership among LAYSI — the Lynchburg Area Youth Sports Initiative — the University of Lynchburg and Park View to deliver all kinds of sports equipment for children who otherwise may not have the opportunity to acquire it.

Todd Olsen, head women’s soccer coach at the University of Lynchburg and an integral player in the partnership, said the rising cost of sports equipment is a huge obstacle for area children trying to get into sports.

“I recently purchased a pair of soccer cleats for my daughter and they were $160,” Olsen said. “If somebody is in poverty, there is no way they can afford that kind of thing.”

Olsen said the inspiration

Dauby’s Sports Center on W. 41st Street in Sioux Falls.

Dauby’s Sports Center has been a fixture in Sioux Falls since 1934. From the beginning, school sporting equipment, team equipment, and uniforms for a variety of activities have been sold there. The first question is, who or what is Dauby?

Herbert C. “Dauby” Daubenberger was born September 20, 1898, in the northeast Iowa town of McGregor. There he attended public schools, graduating from high school in 1916. He attended Grinnell College, east of Des Moines, where he excelled in track and basketball before graduating in 1920. In 1921, he took a job coaching high school football at Colfax, Iowa, just east of Grinnell, an occupation he seemed suited for. He continued coaching there until 1927, at which point he took a job at Aberdeen Central high school, coaching the Golden Eagles. Under his leadership, the Eagles won the Eastern South

A V-8, Plus Electrified Options

By Jaime E. Love 6 days ago

The range-topping Land Rover Range Rover recently got a major overhaul, and now it’s time for the smaller, more athletic Range Rover Sport model to see some changes. The biggest news with the 2023 Range Rover Sport is its new electrification. North America will get four powertrain options at launch, with a fifth, fully electric Range Rover Sport in the cards for 2024. Until then, customers will have a choice of two mild-hybrid powertrains, a plug-in hybrid model, and if you don’t want any of that electric business, you can still opt for a twin-turbo V-8.

The P360 mild hybrid, built around the company’s Ingenium 3.0-liter I-6 motor, is tuned to 355 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque,
