Auditor of State Rob Sand today (Monday) released an agreed-upon procedures report on the City of Griswold, for the period covering July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019. The agreed-upon procedures engagement was performed pursuant to the Code of Iowa. Sand reported eight findings related to the receipt and disbursement of taxpayer funds. The findings address issues such as a lack of segregation of duties, the Fire Department bank account held outside of the City’s control, Fire Department questionable disbursements and moneys provided to non-profit corporations in violation of Article III, Section 31 of the Constitution of Iowa.
Sand provided the City with recommendations to address each of the findings. Six of the eight findings discussed above are repeated from the prior year.

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State men’s basketball sophomores Tyrese Haliburton and Rasir Bolton have been recognized by the Big 12 coaches with all-conference honors.
Haliburton earned All-Big 12 second-team accolades, while Bolton earned honorable mention recognition.
Haliburton, an Oshkosh, Wisconsin native, played 22 games before missing the final eight games of the regular season due to a broken left wrist. Haliburton led the Cyclones with 15.2 points, 5.9 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 2.5 steals. He reached double figures in 18 games this season, scoring 20 or more points six times.
Prior to his injury, Haliburton was a finalist for the Bob Cousy Award. In addition to his league-high 6.5 assists, Haliburton also boasted an assist-to-turnover ratio of 2.3. He ranked among the top-10 in the league in scoring, field goal percentage, assists, steals, three-point field goal percentage, three-point field goals made, assist-to-turnover ratio and minutes played before the injury ended his season.
Bolton averaged 14.7 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists in his first season as a Cyclone. The Petersburg, Virginia native reached double figures in 23 of 30 games played, including a season-high 29 points against Florida A&M. Bolton has recorded double-digit points in 12 of the last 13 games, missing yesterday’s season finale due to injury.
Bolton is one of the Big 12’s best free-throw shooters, connecting on 84.8 percent of his team-high 138 free-throw attempts.

KANSAS CITY, Missouri – The No. 1-ranked Northwest Missouri State Bearcat men’s basketball team claimed its fifth consecutive MIAA Tournament title with a 78-76 triumph over No. 22-ranked Missouri Southern at Municipal Auditorium.
Northwest (31-1 overall) won its 23rd straight game and 39th in a row on a neutral court with its third triumph this year over Missouri Southern. Missouri Southern is 23-8 on the year.
Northwest built a 15-point cushion in the opening half at 45-30 on the strength of 16 first-half points from both sophomore Trevor Hudgins and freshman Wes Dreamer. Northwest did not commit a turnover in the opening 20 minutes in taking a 45-33 lead to the locker room.
The Lions slowly chipped away at the Bearcat advantage in the second half. Northwest led 63-51 after a pair of free throws from sophomore Diego Bernard with 8:38 to play. MSSU went on an 11-2 run that put the Northwest lead at 65-62 with 4:50 on the clock.
Hudgins claimed Most Outstanding Player honors in the tournament after leading the squad with 31 points. Hudgins scored nine of Northwest’s final 11 points after Missouri Southern tied the game at 67-67 with 3:07 to play.
Hudgins turned into the closer as he hit on an old-fashioned three-point play with 2:49 left to give Northwest a 70-67 lead. Following a bucket from MSSU’s Cam Martin, Hudgins hit a floater in the lane that rattled in the rim but settled into the net for a 72-69 lead with 2:09 to play. Martin answered again as he matched Hudgins point-for-point with 31 in the contest. Martin’s bucket left the Lions trailing 72-71 with 1:40 to play.
Hudgins hit a right-handed layup with 1:11 to play to extend the lead back to three. After a Bearcat defensive stop, Hudgins went to work and tallied his final points on the day with :22.8 to play that gave Northwest a 76-71 cushion. MSSU’s Winston Dessesow tallied a layup with :07.6 to play that cut the lead back to three.
Bernard then caught the ensuing inbounds pass at half court, avoided an attempted foul by the Lions and laid in the Bearcats’s final basket with 3.6 to play. Dessesow nailed a triple at the buzzer for the final two-point margin and Northwest claimed the MIAA title for the fifth straight season, 78-76.
Bernard capped the game with a double-double with 20 points and 10 rebounds. Bernard also handed out six assists.
Dreamer finished with 18 points on 7-of-14 shooting that included 4-of-10 from three-point range.

(Radio Iowa) — Many Iowans will get cards from the U.S. Census Bureau in their mailboxes this week, urging them to take part in this year’s population count. The results will be used to redraw political boundaries and distribute federal funding for everything from roads to health care. Gary Krob, coordinator of the State Data Center of Iowa, says this is the first time most people will be asked to report the information online. “The Census Bureau is really pushing the online response if at all possible because it saves the federal government a lot of money,” Krob says. “That’s gonna be the big push for the next month or two, really just getting people to participate.”
Krob says the online form will not be the only way to respond. People can also provide information over the phone and paper forms will be sent out in April to anyone who hasn’t responded by then. Krob says census figures are used in redistricting and play a role in federal appropriations. Krob says, “In 2016 alone, Iowa received $8.7 billion based on federal funds based on that population number.”
Most census invitations will be in English but will include messages in 12 other languages about how to participate. Areas with a high numbers of Spanish-speaking residents will receive bilingual cards.
