Grant will bring Edible Landscape idea to Clear Lake, North Iowa

The Cerro Gordo County Department of Public Health was recently awarded a $4,254 grant from The Wellmark Foundation to fund their Edible Landscapes project. Grants were awarded to projects intended to make Iowa communities more active or improve access to healthy foods. To receive this grant, community support needed to be shown through voting. The community pulled through and voted for the county’s project through Facebook.

Mason City and Iowa Falls sent the Clear Lake boys into the holiday break with a three game slump.  A pair of losses put the Lions at 3-4 overall and 2-2 in the North Central Conference.

Spencer earned a win based on criteria in a non-conference battle on the mat Tuesday, Dec 20.

The two teams finished the meet tied at 33-33, but Criteria D gave the host team the win, as they won eight matches compared to the Lions’ six.

As the score indicates, the non-conference match was filled with excitement.

Spencer jumped out to a quick lead with a fall in the 285-pound match and decision at 106.
