Grisham headed back to state in powerlifting, City of Howe hires Michelle breaks regional squat and bench record Hewitt as city secretary Election Day is tomorrow, Tuesday, March 5. The voting center will be located at 700 E. Haning Street at the Howe Police Department. For the 12th consecutive year in a row, Michelle Carney was named the District’s Photographer of the Year. We made that up, but it could be a thing, you know. The US National Debt now increases by $1 trillion every 100 days. The end of the dollar empire is upon us. The economy has never been better for the wealthiest one percent. Meanwhile, the working class struggle to make ends meet. This cannot continue. That’s why gold is at an all-time high and crypto currencies such as Bitcoin are blowing up. It’s official, four years too late. The CDC now says to treat Covid like the flu. Our poor kids were robbed of so many things. By the way, Covid began in March of the election year. Hold tight, some say the next eight months could be the roughest period in American history. People with enormous amounts of money will do anything to make sure they maintain their enormous amounts of money (see stolen election and coordinated January 6).
Howe’s Jaycie Grisham set the regional squat record with 375 pounds Saturday in Bells at the regional powerlifting meet. She also set the regional bench record twice with her final lift of 235 pounds. Grisham finished first overall in the 132 pound weight class. Howe also sent Maya Garcia and Catelyn Armstrong to the regional meet where each set personal records with Garcia placing sixth in the 105 pound weight class
Grisham was named Outstanding Squat Light Platform and Outstanding Bench Light Platform. She’s a 4-time regional qualifier and 3time state qualifier and finished with the silver medal at last year’s state competitions. The state powerlifting meet will take place at Comerica Center in Frisco on Thursday, March 14.
