The Griswold boys basketball team built a 20 point lead by halftime and roared to a 73-34 win over Essex on Friday night in Griswold. Kamron Brownlee had 13 first half points to propel the Tigers to the lead and he finished with 16 on the night. The start of the second half was a touch sluggish until the Tigers ratcheted up the defensive intensity that sparked an 11-0 run to grab all the momentum. The Tigers got a bucket from Adam Houser and Landon Pelzer immediately stole the ensuing inbound and got a layup. The Tigers followed that with another steal and score to force an Essex time out. Tigers head coach Matthew Spunaugle said they really needed to inject some energy into the game.
The Tigers had good ball pressure all night and Coach Spunaugle said sound defense has been a point of emphasis.
Houser finished with 19 points to lead Griswold and freshman Peyton Cook also added 16. The Tigers improved to 2-7 on the season with the victory.
Essex was led by 11 points from Tony Racine in the loss and they remain winless at 0-8.
The Essex Trojanettes held Griswold to 11 second half points and found a scoring groove of their own to pick up a 51-35 win over the Tigers on Friday night. Griswold led by 7 early in the game but Essex climbed within 2 at the end of the first. The Trojanettes grabbed their first lead momentarily near the end of the 2nd at 22-21, but McKenna Wiechman hit a three to put the Tigers up 24-22 at the break. Essex grabbed the lead in the third and clamped down in the fourth, only allowing 2 Tiger points to secure their third win of the year.
Wiechman had 15 points in the first half but only added 3 more in the second. The Trojanettes ran a box and one on Wiechman to limit her touches in the second half and it proved successful. Brenna Rossell finished with 7 points and had a number of great looks just rim out throughout the game. The Tigers fall to 1-9 on the season.
Essex was led by 10 from Hailee Barrett and 9 from Desi Glasgo who hit a couple of big threes in the second half. The Trojanettes are now 3-6 on the season.

(Atlantic, Iowa) – The Cass County Sheriff’s office on Friday (Today), released a report on arrests that took place this week.
The Sheriff’s Office said also, there were two accidents to report:
On December 31st, 2022, at approximately 4:38-p.m., deputies responded to a single vehicle accident on Interstate 80 at the 70-mile marker eastbound, where a 2018 Jeep Cherokee driven by Preston Kelsey, of Colorado, went out of control due to slick roadway conditions. The SUV entered the south ditch and rolled over. No injuries were reported. The vehicle sustained approximately $15,000 worth of damage.
And, on December 31st at around 7:04-p.m., Cass County Deputies deputies responded to a single vehicle accident on Interstate 80 near the 74 mile marker eastbound. Officials say a 2002 Honda Accord driven by Saleem Salih, of Nebraska, was rounding a curve when it went out of control due to slick roadway conditions, and entered the south ditch.
As with the earlier accident, no injuries were reported. The vehicle sustained minor damage, estimated at $1,500.
(Radio Iowa/KJAN) – A viral social media movement urges people to donate five dollars to a local animal shelter on January 17th, what would have been the 100th birthday of the late actress and animal advocate Betty White. Persons wishing to donate to the Atlantic Animal Shelter may use this link: https://atlanticia.seamlessdocs.com/f/shelterdonationcenter?fbclid=IwAR0nupzxCc3iZRTMdKOmm1UEOQtU1rEXIQ6tOHISSH-szTIJ1zbs4y2eyjU
Tom Colvin, C-E-O of the Animal Rescue League of Iowa, says generous pet lovers don’t necessarily need to wait until the 17th, as financial gifts can be made at any time online. “Absolutely,” Colvin says. “They certainly can do that and we’d love to see those donations coming in — of any size.” The A-R-L is Iowa’s largest nonprofit animal shelter, caring for many thousands of pets each year. Colvin says only about 20-percent of the facility’s budget comes from tax dollars for things like housing strays or operating animal control.
Colvin says, “Eighty percent of what we do, all of the programs that we have that help in the community and pay for that extra surgery than an animal might need to be ready for adoption, all of that is dependent on donations.” The ARL serves pets — and people — across Iowa through its programs, which include pet adoption, humane education, pet behavior training, spay/neuter, animal cruelty intervention and more.
White died on December 31st of last year, just 18 days shy of reaching the century mark. Colvin recalls how White had a special ability to light up a room. “I remember being at a conference, it may have even been in the late 70s, where she came and spoke just briefly,” Colvin says. “When she walked in the room, standing ovation. Everybody, even back then, was just so thankful to her to keep pets on the forefront of people’s minds.” Even if you don’t make a donation on January 17th, Colvin says Iowans should make an effort to at least stop for a moment to reflect on the joy animals bring to our world.
“It is a day that people can think about pets and how Betty White always spoke fondly of pets and the importance of being kind to animals,” Colvin says. “Just all of that positive energy that she always seemed to generate. It’s also very valuable from just a day we can particularly think of that as well.” There are multiple ways to make donations to the A-R-L, one-time, monthly or through any of several programs, like the Full Bellies Food Fund, the Miracle Medical Fund or Paw It Forward.

(Des Moines, IA) The Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) today (Friday) announced that 94 community water systems in Iowa have been awarded Water Fluoridation Quality Awards from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The award recognizes water systems that achieved excellence in community water fluoridation by maintaining a consistent level of fluoride in drinking water throughout 2020. A total of 1,292 public water systems in 29 states received the award.
Among the communities/water systems awarded 2020 Iowa WFQ awards, are those in:
Fluoridation is the adjustment of fluoride in drinking water to a level that is effective for preventing cavities. Community water fluoridation is recognized by the CDC as one of the great 20th century public health achievements. “It is exciting to have 94 Iowa water systems recognized on a national level for their commitment to oral health,” stated Dr. Bob Russell, dental director for the Iowa Department of Public Health. “I congratulate all of the community water systems for their efforts to provide safe, dependable drinking water to our communities–including helping to prevent cavities using water fluoridation.”
The CDC recommends water fluoridation as one of the most practical, cost-effective, equitable, and safe measures a community can take to prevent cavities and improve oral health. The Bureau of Oral and Health Delivery Systems at IDPH monitors the fluoride levels of Iowa communities and provides information and assistance to water supply professionals, healthcare professionals, and the public.
IDPH supports CDC-approved fluoridation programs. To find the fluoridation status of Iowa counties and towns, visit My Water’s Fluoride here: https://nccd.cdc.gov/doh_mwf/Default/Default.aspx
