NICE DAY TODAY, BUT MOSTLY CLOUDY AND NOT NEAR ENOUGH SUNSHINE.

THE SUN WAS OUT DURING THE ENTIRE 1-HOUR OCTOBERFEST OF BANDS PARADE.

23 BANDS WERE IN TOWN TODAY. 19 IN THE PARADE. 8 IN THE FIELD COMPETITION. ANDREW JUST GAVE A SHORT DOWNTOWN CONCERT AS THEY DO NOT HAVE A MARCHING BAND.

NICE CROWD TO WATCH THE PARADE. SO, EVEN THOUGH THE BAND NUMBERS WERE DOWN, THE 24TH ANNUAL EVENT WAS A SUCCESS AND IT WAS ANNOUNCED THAT THERE WILL BE A SILVER ANNIVERSARY OCTOBERFEST OF BANDS IN OCTOBER 2001. THANKS TO JUDY NEISS, CHAIRMAN, FOR ANOTHER JOB WELL DONE. THERE ARE A LOT MORE BANDFESTS THESE DAYS....COMPETING FOR BANDS...CAUSING OUR NUMBERS TO DWINDLE. T

THERE WERE 150 ENTERED IN RUN AND WALK...ALSO DOWN IN NUMBERS. IN FACT, TODAY'S 15TH ANNUAL RUN/WALK WILL BE THE LAST. CHAIRMAN OF THE EVENT ALL 15 YEARS, DAVE HAYES, ANNOUNCED LATE THIS MORNING THAT THERE WILL NOT BE THE RUN/WALK EVEN NEXT YEAR, BECAUSE NUMBERS ARE GETTING LOWER EACH YEAR.

A BEAUTIFUL,BUT COOL DAY, IN MAQUOKETA. HIGH OF 60.
YESTERDAY, ONLY 59 AND MOSTLY CLOUDY AND FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WERE RAINY DAYS. IN FACT, OVER 2-INCHES ON FRIDAY, HOMECOMING DAY.
IT DID STOP ENOUGH FOR THE PARADE HOWEVER.

FRIDAY MORNING, THE GROUND BREAKING CEREMONY FOR THE NEW GENERAC INDUSTRY WAS MOVED TO CITY HALL, AND A FULL HOUSE ATTENDED THE PROGRAM. WORK ON THE NEW 100,000 SQUARE-FOOT BUILDING HAS STARTED.
THEY HOPE TO HAVE THE ROOF ON BY CHRISTMAS AND HOPE TO GET IN OPERATION IN LATE MARCH OR APRIL.

BECAUSE OF THE HEAVY RAIN, THE FRIDAY NIGHT FRESH-SOPH GAME WAS POSTPONED UNTIL TONIGHT. THE VARSITY HOMECOMING GAME AGAINST WEST DELAWARE, MANCHESTER, STARTED AROUND 7:30. AND MAQUOKETA WON THE HOMECOMING GAME..A MILD UPSET. THE GAME HAD TO BE STOPPED IN THE 2ND HALF BECAUSE OF BAD RAIN AND LIGHTNING...THEN RE-STARTED IN ABOUT A HALF HOUR. SOME OTHER IOWA GAMES WERE STOPPED AND FINISHED SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

THE MEMORY WALK FOR ALZHEIMERS FOR JACKSON COUNTY WAS HELD SATURDAY MORNING IN BELLEVUE. KMAQ RAISED OVER $700 ON BEHALF OF THE KMAQ WALKERS AND THE TOTAL AMOUNT RAISED WAS AROUND $10,000....A REAL SUCCESS.

FOR THE NEXT THREE DAYS, I WILL BE ATTENDING A MOVIE THEATRE CONVENTION AT LAKE GENEVA, WISCONSIN.....SHOULD BE FUN AND INTERESTING. THE MOVIE THEATRE OWNERS NATIONALLY HAVE NOT HAD THE BEST YEAR. I'VE DONE OKAY BECAUSE I HAVE THE POPULAR DRIVE-IN. AT CONVENTIONS, WE HEAR ABOUT THE 'CROP' OF MOVIES COMING OUT AND WE'LL GET SOME INDICATION AS TO WHAT THE UPCOMING YEAR WILL BE LIKE..STARTING WITH THE FALL AND CHRISTMAS SEASON AHEAD. WILL PROBABLY GET A 'SNEAK' OF 2 OR 3 NEW MOVIES. WILL BE BACK FRIDAY
AFTERNOON.

THEN SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, NANCY AND I WILL MAKE ANOTHER QUICK VISIT TO HORICON TO SEE MY DAD.

SO, WILL DO MY BEST TO HAVE A REPORT ON FRIDAY AND NEXT SUNDAY
AFTERNOON.

HAVE A GOOD WEEK.

COOL BUT SUNNY AFTERNOON IN MAQUOKETA.

TUESDAY, NANCY AND I WENT UP TO VISIT MY FOLKS IN HORICON, WISCONSIN. BEAUTIFUL WEATHER. HAD A GREAT DAY. WE TOOK MOM AND DAD OUT FOR DINNER AT NOON, THEN TOOK THEM ON A NEARLY 2-HOUR DRIVE, WHICH THEY ENJOYED. THEN AFTER GETTING HOME (MOM BAKED A WILD BERRY PIE ON MONDAY) WE GOT SOME ICE CREAM AND HAD A LATER-AFTERNOON PIE BREAK. MY BROTHER GERALD AND HIS WIFE BETTY CAME OVER AND VISITED WITH US ABOUT AN HOUR. GERALD HAD PIE AND ICECREAM TOO. THEN, MY MOTHER GAVE ME HER CUSTOMARY $20 BILL TO PAY FOR MY GAS FOR TRIP FROM MAQUOKETA. I LEARNED LONG AGO, NOT TO REFUSE IT. WE THEN WRAPPED UP A COUPLE LEFT-OVER PIECES OF PIE AND STARTED OUR TRIP BACK HOME TO MAQUOKETA AROUND 4:30. DAD AS USUAL WAIVING FROM THE KITCHIN WINDOW AND MOM FROM THE GARAGE DOOR OPENING. WE HAD A NICE DAY.
THE NEXT MORNING, YESTERDAY MORNING, BETTY CALLED AROUND 11 TO TELL ME MOM HAD DIED A SHORT TIME AGO. I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. A
FRIEND, ONE OF HER BEST FRIENDS, AND BEAUTICIAN, CAME OVER TO DO HER HAIR AND LEFT AT 9:30. THE LAST TO TALK TO HER. SHE WAS FOUND IN THE BEDROOM, ON HER BED, WHERE SHE APPARENTLY HAD A HEART ATTACK.
SOMETIME AFTER THAT, MY DAD DISCOVERED HER AND WENT TO THE NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS FOR HELP. AS THE SAYING GOES...WHAT A WAY TO GO.
FUNERAL IS SATURDAY MORNING. SHE WAS 88. DAD IS 91. I AM OLDEST. GERALD FOUR YEARS YOUNGER THAN ME AND LIVES A FEW BLOCKS AWAY, AND CHUCK, DIVORCED, LIVES AND WORKS IN MILWAUKEE AND IS 8 YEARS YOUNGER THAN ME. 7 GRANDCHILDREN AND 3 GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN.
THE FOLKS MADE A LOT OF VISITS TO MAQUOKETA THE PAST 42 YEARS. MOM WAS A VERY FINE, HARDWORKING (HOUSEWIFE) CHRISTIAN WOMAN...THRIFTY AS YOU CAN GET. I'LL MISS OUR WEEKLY PHONE CONVERSATIONS. BUT, WE'LL STILL CONTINUE TO MAKE REGULAR TRIPS TO HORICON TO VISIT DAD. HE'S NOT A PHONE-CALL GUY. NOT SURE WHERE HE WILL BE LIVING....THAT NEEDS TO BE DECIDED. EVEN WHEN THEY GET UP TO HIGH YEARS WHEN YOU KNOW SOMETHING COULD HAPPEN SOON....ITS STILL HARD TO TAKE WHEN IT HAPPENS. MANY OF YOU KNOW THIS FROM YOUR OWN PAST. ANYWAY...
DIDN'T MEAN TO RAMBLE. NATURALLY, I AM SOOOO GLAD WE DECIDED TO PAY A VISIT UP THAT WAY TUESDAY....AND THAT THE FINAL DAY WAS A FUN ONE.

SO...THIS WILL BE LAST REPORT FOR A COUPLE DAYS. I'LL TRY TO HAVE ONE SUNDAY, MONDAY FOR SURE. THEN, NEXT WEEK, I GO TO A 3-DAY MOVIE CONVENTION.

PAUL HAHLE HAS RESIGNED HIS POSITION AS CHAIRMAN OF THE MAQUOKETA AIRPORT COMMISSION AND IS LEAVING THE BOARD BECAUSE HE HAS TAKEN A NEW JOB WITH ALLIANT ENERGY POWER PLANT IN LANSING, IOWA. HE WILL BE THE MANAGER OF THE PLANT. HE LONG AGO, OWNED (then sold) PRO-ELECTRONICS, A RADIO-TV BUSINESS IN MAQUOKETA.

AMANDA O'MEARA, AGE 12, WHO WAS BURNED BY HER FRIENDS A COUPLE WEEKS AGO, HAS LEFT THE IOWA CITY HOSPITAL AND IS BACK HOME IN MAQUOKETA.
I HEAR SHE MAY BE GOING BACK TO SCHOOL SOON.

THE GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY FOR GENERAC IS AT 11 TOMORROW MORNING.
KMAQ WILL BROADCAST THE CEREMONY. SOME WORKERS AND EQUIPMENT IS ALREADY OUT THERE. THEY ARE THE BIG COMPANY THAT WILL BUILD LARGE ELECTRIC GENERATORS IN MAQUOKETA AND SOMEDAY EMPLOY UP TO 500 PEOPLE.
THE OTHER COMPANY ...FAMILY DOLLAR...STILL HAS NOT MADE A DECISION ON WHETHER TO LOCATE IN MAQUOKETA WITH THEIR HUGE DISTRIBUTION CENTER FACILITY THAT WILL EMPLOY 500. THE MAQUOKETA CONTACT TEAM, I HEAR, IS MAKING ANOTHER VISIT TO THEIR HEADQUARTERS TODAY.

I WILL BE ATTENDING THE ANNUAL FARM BUREAU MEETING IN MAQUOKETA TONIGHT AND WILL ACCEPT AN AWARD....THE IOWA FARM BUREAU EXCELLENCE IN AG REPORTING AWARD. NICE HONOR. SOME OF YOU ARE UNAWARE, THAT MONDAY THRU FRIDAY, I DO THE MORNING FARM SHOW...'RFD 1320' ON MY AM STATION ONLY.

JESSIE WING AND KATIE CLARK WERE ELECTED HOMECOMING ROYALTY DURING CORONATION CEREMONIES SUNDAY. PARENTS OF THE KING ARE MIKE AND VICKIE WING. HER PARENTS ARE DANNY AND CAROLYN CLARK.

AND THATS IT FOR NOW.

ST. LOUIS CARDINALS ARE DIVISION CHAMPS. DON'T WORRY, THEY'LL GET TO THE SERIES TOO.

PEACE.

HOT TODAY, NEAR 90, BUT WILL BE COOL THE REST OF THE WEEK, HOMECOMING WEEK, IN MAQUOKETA.

YESTERDAY, THE JACKSON COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY HOSTED THEIR 3RD ANNUAL RTA BUS TOUR OF A SEGMENT OF JACKSON COUNTY AND FOR THE 3RD YEAR IN A ROW, I WENT ON THE $5.00 TOUR, WHICH INCLUDED A POP STOP AT THE FAMOUS KALMES RESTAURANT IN ST. DONATUS. THIS YEAR, THE TOUR WAS TO THE BELLEVUE-ST. DONATUS AREA AND STARTED AT 12:30 P.M. with 3 buses. ONE BUS GAVE OUT AND ANOTHER BROUGHT IN TO THE RESCUE, SO INSTEAD OF GETTING BACK HOME AT 5, IT WAS 6, BUT NOBODY MINDED.
BEAUTIFUL DAY FOR THE EVENT. THE NARRATOR WAS JR. PAPKE OF MILES AND HE USED A SYSTEM ON THE CB RADIO THAT MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR ALL 3 BUSES TO HEAR HIS COMMENTARY. THE TWO MAIN STOPS WERE IN PARADISE VALLEY AND ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI AT NORTHEAST ST. DONATUS. PARADISE VALLEY IS WEST OF BELLEVUE IN HILLY JACKSON COUNTY....BEAUTIFUL HILLS AND VALLEYS. A MAN NAMED POTTER CAME TO THE COUNTY AT AGE 50,WITH LOTS OF MONEY, AND BUILDT THE FAMOUS POTTER'S MILL (NOW A CLOSED RESTAURANT-BED AND BREAKFAST SET TO OPEN AGAIN SOON )AT BELLEVUE. HE ALSO BUILDT A 3-STORY STONE HOME FOR HIS FAMILY AND YESTERDAY, WE HAD A TOUR OF IT, CONDUCTED BY GREAT, GREAT, GREAT, GREAT GRANDSON, DAVE KENDALL OF RURAL BELLEVUE AND A JACKSON COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISOR. HIS MOTHER ALSO CONDUCTED TOURS OF THE BUILDING, NOW OCCUPIED BY A COUPLE FAMILY MEMBERS. NEAT HOME, WITH GREAT ANTIQUES AND THE 3RD FLOOR LIBRARY STILL IN PLACE. HOPE YOU GET TO SEE IT SOMETIME. TOURS BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. THEN, THE BUS HEADED FOR THE EXTREME NORTHEAST CORNER OF JACKSON COUNTY AND THE LAWRENCE AND ARLENE KOHLENBERG FARM....THEIR HOUSE AT PROBABLY THE HIGHEST POINT OF THE COUNTY AND OVERLOOKING THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. THEY JUST CELEBRATED THEIR 63RD WEDDING ANNIVERSARY LAST WEEK AND HAVE LIVED ON THAT BEAUTIFUL 250-ACRE FARM SINCE 1960. THEY ESTABLISHED DOWN OVER THE CLIFF FROM THEIR THE RIVER, NITAHOE VALLEY, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THE TETE MORE CREEK RUNS INTO THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER THERE, AND 23 MAINLY SUNMER HOMES, HAVE THE CREEK FOR A BACK YARD AND BOAT DOCK FOR MISSISSIPPI RIVER BOATING. A PRIVATE SETTLEMENT STARTED IN THE EARLY 60'S WHENE LEO HEISTER OF MAQUOKETA CONSTRUCTED THE FIRST CABIN THERE. THE RESIDENTS OWN THEIR HOUSE OR CABIN, BUT THE LAND IS LEASED FROM THE KOHLENBERGS. SON LYNN KOHLENBERG HAS A FARM NEARBY AND HE HELPS HIS PARENTS OVERSEE THE SETTLEMENT. THE GATE AT THE END OF THE LONG DRIVE SAYS PRIVATE, BUT VISITORS ARE WELCOME TO COME ON DOWN AND TAKE A LOOK. JACKSON COUNTY IS EXTREMELY BEAUTIFUL AND YESTERDAY, WE GOT MORE PROOF ON THE BUS TRIP. WISH YOU COULD HAVE BEEN ALONG.

DON HARFORD, AGE 69, DIED YESTERDAY AND SERVICES WILL BE WEDNESDAY AT CARSON AND SON FUNERAL HOME. NICE FELLOW. HIS FOLKS RAN A LITTLE NEIGHBORHOOD GROCERY STORE IN MAQUOKETA YEARS AND YEARS AGO. DON
WAS IN THE MILITARY (MUCH OF THE TIME AS A COOK) AND RETIRED TO MAQUOKETA A FEW YEARS AGO. SURVIVED BY A BROTHER CARLTON IN NEWTON, AND 1 SON IN NEW ORLEANS AND 3 DAUGHTERS...NONE IN MAQUOKETA. HE WAS DIVORCED.

AND THAT'S YOUR JACKSON COUNTY HISTORY LESSON AND NEWS-RE-CAP FOR TODAY. LITTLE HISTORY DOESN'T HURT ONCE IN AWHILE.

BEAUTIFUL DAY IN MAQUOKETA..IN THE UPPER 70'S.

MAQUOKETA LOST TO MARION LAST NIGHT, 10 TO 0.

IOWA STATE BEAT IOWA TODAY, 24 TO 10. SAGE ROSENFELS OF MAQUOKETA WAS THE STAR OF THE GAME....DID A FANTASTIC JOB. IOWA STATE IS NOW 3 AND 0 AND IF SAGE CONTINUES PLAYING LIKE HE HAS SO FAR THIS YEAR, HE WILL HAVE A GREAT SEASON AND WILL BE A TOP NFL PICK IN THE PLAYER DRAFT.

SHORT REPORT...SORRY...BUT ITS SATURDAY.

HAVE A NICE EVENING AND SUNDAY.

DENNIS VOY  

GREAT DAY TODAY..,BUT ON COOL SIDE TODAY, HIGH OF 65.

FIRST..A CORRECTION. SHORTLY AFTER GETTING HOME LAST NIGHT, I REALIZED I GOOFED ON WHO IS DOING THE CONCRETE SIDEWALK ACROSS THE STREET FROM KMAQ. AND A COUPLE OTHERS ALSO MENTIONED IT TODAY.
BRENT NUGENT IS NOT IN THE CONCRETE BUSINESS....BUT HAS A VERY SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS IN MAQUOKETA RE-BUILDING WRECKED CARS, TRUCKS AND VANS. CHUCK FEY CONSTRUCTION JUST SOUTH OF MAQUOKETA FINISHED THE SIDEWALK WORK THIS AFTERNOON. DON'T KNOW HOW I GOT THE TWO MIXED UP.
CHUCK IS NOT ONLY A GOOD CONTRACTOR, HE'S A BIG ST. LOUIS CARDINAL FAN.

BROCK'S UPTOWN STORE WILL MOVE FROM ITS PRESENT LOCATION TO THE BROCK'S GREENHOUSE LOCATION ON NORTH MAIN STREET. SO, WE WILL SOON HAVE AN EMPTY STOREFRONT AT 106 S. MAIN STREET.

THERE'S TALK ABOUT A NEW MOTEL FOR MAQUOKETA, OUT BY THE HIGHWAY 61 AND 64 INTERSECTION. LOCAL INVESTORS I BELIEVE. WILL BE TIED TO A NATIIONAL CHAIN..HAVE CONFERENCE ROOMS AND AN IN-DOOR POOL. GOT MONEY TO INVEST? LET ME KNOW...I'LL GET YOUR MESSAGE TO THE RIGHT PARTY. AND ITS NOT ME.

THE CLASS OF 45 IS HAVING RE-UNION IN MAQUOKETA THIS WEEKEND.
SOME OF THE MEMBERS....HELEN HUTE....ROSIE MILLER...BONNIE TURNER...
AND DON NISSEN.

THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE CHRISTMAS COMMITTEE HAS MET TWICE THIS WEEK.

SUMMER IS HERE FOR ONE MORE WEEK....FALL STARTS AT MID-DAY NEXT
FRIDAY.

HAVE A NICE WEEKEND.

DENNIS VOY  

3/4 INCH OF RAIN EARLY THIS MORNING, ALONG WITH THUNDER, LIGHTNING AND WIND. BELLEVUE'S CITY HALL GOT A DIRECT HIT...MADE A HOLE IN THE WALL WHERE THE ELECTRIC SERVICE ENTERS THE BUILDING. WE HAD A CLOUDY MORNING AFTER THE RAIN AND THEN NICE THIS AFTERNOON WITH SUNSHINE, A BREEZE AND HIGH OF 75.

BRENT NUGENT CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION BUSY THE LAST COUPLE DAYS PUTTING IN A NEW SIDEWALK FOR BRAD DEERY MOTORS...ACROSS THE STREET FROM KMAQ, AND SOUTH OF THE DECKER HOTEL. ALMOST DONE...A NICE JOB.
AND TOMORROW OR MONDAY, A DUBUQUE FIRM WILL ASPHALT THE BIG BRAD DEERY LOT. IT HAS TAKEN ALL WEEK TO PREPARE FOR THE PAVING. WILL REALLY LOOK GOOD WHEN DONE.

HEARD TODAY THAT TUESDAY, FORMER SHERIFF BOB LYONS HAD A QUAD-BYPASS HEART OPERATION.

DOC BIEHL REPLACED A FILLING FOR ME THIS MORNING....AND AS ALWAYS, A TERRIFIC JOB. HE HAS BEEN MY DENTIST SINCE THE LATE 50'S. WORKS A COUPLE DAYS A WEEK NOW. WIFE LOIS AND SON STILL RUN THE DAIRY QUEEN AND DOC HELPS THERE WITH YARD WORK. DOC IS MIGHTY HAPPY, AS I AM, WITH THE PROGRESS OF THE ST. LOUIS CARDINALS THIS YEAR.....IN CASE YOU HAVE NOT NOTICED...THEY ARE ON THE WAY TO THE PLAYOFFS. THE BIEHL FAMILY HAS BEEN A CARDINAL FAMILY FOR MANY YEARS. ARLENE BERNER STILL IS DOC'S DENTAL ASSISTANT...AND THE BEST.

HOMECOMING IS NEXT WEEK IN MAQUOKETA.

THIS FRIDAY NIGHT, THE CARDINALS PLAY AT MARION.

WANT AN INCOME PROPERTY IN MAQUOKETA? THE BUILDING THAT WAS FOR YEARS, THE HOME OF THE SOUTH INN SUPPER CLUB ON SOUTH MAIN STREET, HAS BEEN COMPLETELY RE-DONE. REALLY LOOKS NICE. DOWNSTAIRS IS READY FOR A NEW BUSINESS AND I'M TOLD THERE ARE 3 APARTMENTS UPSTAIRS. IT IS OWNED BY THE BOB JONES FAMILY AND NOW IS FOR-SALE. BOB IS NOT DOING TOO WELL THESE DAYS, SO THE FAMILY INTERESTS ARE LOOKED AFTER BY SON STEVE AND BOB'S WIFE DOROTHY. BOB AND DOROTHY HAVE BEEN LONGTIME BUSINESS PEOPLE IN MAQUOKETA AND BOOSTERS OF THE TOWN.
DOROTHY FOR YEARS HAS WALKED THE HIGHWAYS FOR EMPTY CANS AND TAKEN THE REDEMPTION MONEY AND GIVEN IT TO THE NEEDY.

THE CLASS OF 45 AT MAQUOKETA HIGH IS HAVING THEIR 55TH RE-UNION THIS WEEKEND IN MAQUOKETA.

AND I HEARD TODAY THAT &^*&^&&g%$g'S WIFE IS RUNNING AROUND WITH
+__))((&^%$%)).! KIND OF SURPRISED ME.

COME BACK TOMORROW.

ANOTHER NICE DAY...81 THE HIGH. COLD WEATHER COMING THIS WEEKEND.

IN THE SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION YESTERDAY.....HERE IN MAQUOKETA...
MY FRIEND AND FELLOW ROTARIAN BRAD MILLER LOST BY OVER 100 VOTES TO FORMER SCHOOL TEACHER AT CARDINAL ELEMENTARY, ZOE MCMAHON. BRAD HAD 214 VOTES AND ZOE HAD OVER 330. I VOTED FOR BRAD. HE HAS BEEN ON THE BOARD AROUND A YEAR, AND REPLACED LINDA HICKS WHO MOVED FROM THE CITY. I DON'T KNOW ZOE, BUT SHE DID HAVE THE SUPPORT OF MANY OF THE TEACHERS, SO I'M SURE SHE WILL DO OK. DAVID TABOR WAS RE-ELECTED TO THE BOARD, WITH NO OPPOSITION. NOT A GOOD BOARD MEMBER, BUT NOT A BAD ONE EITHER. ITS A THANKLESS POSITION. AND IT GETS HARDER EVERY YEAR..NOT AN EASY JOB. VOLLEYBALL IS VERY POPULAR THIS YEAR, IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL, WITH MORE OUT THAN EXPECTED. BOTH COACHES HAVE MORE TO DO THAN THEY BARGAINED FOR. THE COACHES NEED TO HELP EACH OTHER OUT, AND THAT REQUIRES EXTRA TIME ON THEIR PART. IN THE OLD DAYS...THEY WOULD HAVE ACCEPTED A LITTLE EXTRA WORK FOR A COUPLE MONTHS. NOT THESE DAYS...THE TWO ASKED FOR AND WILL EACH GET $350 MORE FOR THE SEASON. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO THEY ARE..SO NOTHING PERSONAL HERE. NOW PARENTS ARE STILL UPSET BECAUSE THEIR KIDS ARE NOT GETTING ENOUGH PLAYING TIME. SO, MORE GAMES ARE GOING TO BE SCHEDULED TO ALLOW FOR MORE PLAYING TIME.
THAT MEANS MORE BUSING AND OTHER EXPENSES. I LOVE SPORTS....BUT SPORTS CAUSE LOTS OF PROBLEMS. AND PEOPLE ARE ASKING FOR MORE SPORTS. I'LL REPEAT...BEING A SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER IS NOT AN EASY JOB.

I'M HUNGRY.

OFF FOR HOME.

DENNIS VOY  

A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN MAQUOKETA...HIGH OF 71.

GOOD NEWS. THE GENERAC GROUND-BREAKING CEREMONY HAS BEEN SCHEDULED FOR FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22ND, AT 11 A.M. AT THE NEW INDUSTRIAL PARK AT THE SOUTH EDGE OF TOWN. AT SAME TIME, THEY WILL DEDICATE THE NEW INDUSTRIAL PARK...WHICH IS BEING NAMED 61 INDUSTRIAL PARK...AND WILL ALSO DEDICATE THE TWO NEW PAVED STREET RECENTLY COMPLETED IN THE PARK.
THE EAST-WEST STREET IS BEING NAMED GENERAC DRIVE AND THE NORTH-SOUTH STREET, LARY COURT....NAMED AFTER THE FAMILY THAT SOLD THE LAND TO THE CITY FOR THE NEW INDUSTRIAL PARK. THE GOVERNOR WILL BE INVITED TO THE GROUNDBREAKING. MORE DETAILS WILL BE ANNOUNCED SOON ACCORDING TO LINDA STURTZ, CITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR.
GENERAC, A WISCONSIN FIRM, WILL BUILD LARGE GENERATORS IN MAQUOKETA, STARTING SOMETIME EARLY NEXT YEAR, WITH ABOUT 200 EMLOYEES...AND THEN GO UP TO OVER 400 LATER.

RUNNING OUT OF TIME..

YESTERDAY, A LITTLE RAIN IN THE MORNING,THEN A NICE SUMMER DAY. TODAY, RAINY MOST OF THE MORNING AND THEN VERY HOT THIS AFTERNOON, HIGH OF 92. TOMORROW, SUPPOSED TO BE COOL, WITH A HIGH IN THE LOW 70'S.

BEFORE I FORGET, MAQUOKETA WON THEIR FOOTBALL GAME SATURDAY AFTERNOON OVER KEOKUK. THEY LED 28 TO 0 AT THE HALF AND I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT FINAL, BUT MAQUOKETA WAS IN THE 30'S AND KEOKUK I THINK ENDED UP WITH 14. MAQUOKETA IS NOW 1 AND 1 AND PLAYS AT MARION FRIDAY.

DISTRICT COURT JUDGE NANCY TABOR HAS ISSUED A "GAG ORDER" TO ATTORNEYS IN THE CASE OF LYNETTE BODENHOFER, AGE 12, OF MAQUOKETA, WHO IS ACCUSED, ALONG WITH ANOTHER GIRL, OF SETTING FIRE TO ONE OF THEIR FRIENDS. BODENHOFER APPEARED BEFORE JUDGE TABOR IN JACKSON COUNTRY DISTRICT COURT IN MAQUOKETA AT AROUND NOON TODAY. BOTH JUVINILES REMAIN IN CUSTODY AND AMANDA O'MEARA CONTINUES TO IMPROVE AT IOWA CITY UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL.

ITS SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION DAY TOMORROW IN IOWA AND FOR THE MAQUOKETA SCHOOL DISTRICT, DAVE TABOR IS UNOPPOSED FOR RE-ELECTION IN DISTICT A. INCUMBENT BRADLEY MILLER IS CHALLENGED BY FORMER TEACHER ZOE MCMAHON. ZOE IS BEINGING SUPPORTED BY MOST OF THE TEACHERS, SO I'M TOLD. MILLER IS A LUTHERAN MINISTER AND PRESIDENT OF THE MAQUOKETA ROTARY CLUB.

MARY LOU RISINGER, 72, OF ROCK ISLAND AND FORMERLY OF MAQUOKETA, DIED SATURDAY EVENING. SHE IS SURVIVED BY HER HUSBAND DONALD, AND 2 DAUGHTERS, DEBORAH AND CYNTHIA.

LAUREL SUMMERS, SR., AGE 93,OF MAQUOKETA DIED TODAY AT CRESTRIDGE NURSING HOME. I BELIEVE HE AT ONE TIME OWNED HURSTVILLE AND WAS ITS LAST MAYOR.

HAVE A GOOD WEEK.

DENNIS VOY  

WARM AND BREEZY THIS AFTERNOON. AROUND 2 THIS MORNING, WE GET ABOUT 3/10 OF AN INCH OF RAIN.

NO MAQUOKETA FOOTBALL TONIGHT. THE MAQUOKETA CARDINALS HAVE A RARE SATURDAY AFTERNOON HOME GAME TOMORROW AGAINST KEOKUK. BECAUSE OF THE TRAVELING DISTANCE, ABOUT 3 HOURS, IT WAS DECIDED TO PLAY THE GAME AT 12:30 IN THE AFTERNOON, SO THE TEAM CAN GET BACK HOME AT A DESCENT TIME. NEXT YEAR, WE WILL HAVE TO GO DOWN THERE. KEOKUK, LIKE MAQUOKETA, LOST THEIR OPENING GAME OF THE SEASON LAST FRIDAY.

THE TRAGIC STORY YESTERDAY ABOUT THE GIRL BEING BURNED BY TWO OTHER GIRLS, GOT STATEWIDE MEDIA COVERAGE LAST NIGHT AND THIS MORNING.
MORE ABOUT THAT INCIDENT. POLICE BELIEVE THE ISSUE WAS OVER A BOYFRIEND. AMANDA O'MEARA, DAUGHTER OF EUNICE O'MEARA, IS DOING BETTER TODAY BUT WILL HAVE A LONG RECOVERY, FROM BURNS TO BACK, ARMS, NECK, HAIR AND EYES....CAUSED BY A POPBOTTLE FULL OF GASOLINE DOUSED ON HER BY THE OTHER GIRLS. THEY ARE: LYNETTE BODENHOFER, ALSO AGE 12, THE DAUGHTER OF CRAIG BODENHOFER OF MAQUOKETA AND ALSO A MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENT IN MAQUOKETA AND TARA TALLMAN, AGE 15, A STUDENT OF ANDREW SCHOOL AND DAUGHTER OF DEB GOODWIN OF MAQUOKETA. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED AT THE O'MEARA HOME (no one was at home at the time)LOCATED AT 305 SOUTH OTTO STREET. THE TWO ATTACKERS THREE HOURS LATER WENT TO THE POLICE ON THEIR OWN. POLICE SAY THE TWO SPLASHED SOME GASOLINE ON O'MEARA AND SOME GOT INTO HER EYES. WHEN SHE BENT OVER TO TRY AND CLEAR HER EYES, THE TWO THREW THE REST OF THE GAS ON HER BACK AND SET HER ON FIRE WITH A CIGARETTE LIGHTER. SHE THEN DROPPED TO THE GROUND AND ROLLED, PUTTING OUT THE FIRE. POLICE CHIEF BOB ANDERSEN SAID THAT PREVENTED HER FROM MORE SERIOUS INJURIES OR PROBABLY SAVED HER LIFE. A CRISIS RESPONSE TEAM WAS AVAILABLE AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL TODAY.

LAST NIGHT, THE DECKER HOTEL WAS CLOSED AFTER A BULLDOZER WORKING JUST SOUTH OF THE HOTEL, ON RE-PAVING A BRAD DEERY MOTORS NEW CAR LOT, HIT A NATURAL GAS LINE. FIREMEN WERE CALLED..THE AREA WAS BLOCKED-OFF AND A CREW FROM DUBUQUE CAME DOWN AND STOPPED THE GAS LEAK. NO INJURIES, JUST LOTS OF EXCITEMENT. AND SOME LOSS OF BUSINESS BY THE HOTEL RESTAURANT.

FLORENCE BENNIS, AGE 89, OF MAQUOKETA AND FORMERLY OF DELMAR, DIED YESTERDAY AT CRESTRIDGE NURSING HOME IN MAQUOKETA. SERVICES ARE STILL PENDING AT HAYLOCK, O'HARA AND LAHEY FUNERAL HOME IN MAQUOKETA.

REMEMBER THE 2 GIRLS THAT FELL DOWN A 100 FOOT CLIFF AT THE CAVES STATE PARK LAST WEEKEND. ONE HAS BEEN RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL AND THE OTHER IS IN IMPROVED AND FAIR CONDITION IN THE HOSPITAL.

BOB WARNER, KMAQ MORNING ANNOUNCER, WILL CELEBRATE 30 YEARS AT KMAQ THIS SUNDAY. A STAFF PICNIC IN THE PARK IS PLANNED FOR SUNDAY AFTERNOON. HE CAME HERE FROM OHIO. HAS A 22-YEAR-OLD-DAUGHTER LIVING HER IN TOWN. OTHER THAN ME, NO ONE HAS WORKED AT KMAQ LONGER THAN BOB. IN ADDITION TO HIS MORNING ANNOUNCER DUTIES, HE ALSO IS OUR AREA-HIGH SCHOOL PLAY-BY-PLAY ANNOUNCER DURING THE FOOTBALL AND BASKETBALL SEASON. IN FACT, TONIGHT, HE WILL BROADCAST THE BELLEVUE-PRESTON GAME ON KMAQ-FM, 'LIVE' FROM MOHLENHOF FIELD IN PRESTON.
SHOULD BE A GOOD GAME. BOB IS A BIG CLEVELAND INDIANS BASEBALL FAN AND CLEVELAND BROWN'S FOOTBALL FAN. BUT, HE LIKES THE ST. LOUIS CARDINALS TOO. SUNDAY, A GROUP OF OVER 30, WILL GATHER AND THANK HIM FOR HIS DEVOTION TO KMAQ OVER THE PAST 30 YEARS. HE STARTED SHORTLY BEFORE THE HARDWARE STORE FIRE THAT FORCED KMAQ TO MOVE FROM UPSTAIRS IN THE MAIN BLOCK TO OUR SITE ON NORTH MAIN, IN LATE FALL 1970. SEEMS LIKE ONLY YESTERDAY.

HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND EVERYBODY.

ANOTHER NICE DAY.

THE BIG STORY FOLLOWS.....TV STATIONS ARE IN TOWN NOW.

TWO MAQUOKETA GIRLS DOUSED ANOTHER GIRL WITH GASOLINE AND SET HER ON FIRE LAST NIGHT IN MAQUOKETA. 12-YEAR-OLD AMANDA O'MEARA OF MAQUOKETA IS LISTED IN SERIOUS CONDITION AT UNIVERSITY OF IOWA HOSPITAL BURN UNIT IN IOWA CITY. THE TWO GIRLS WHO SET AMANDA
O'MEARA ON FIRE HAVE BEEN CHARGED WITH WILFUL INJURY, A CLASS C
FELONY. THEY ARE TARA TALLMAN, AGE 15, AND LYNETTE BODENHOFER, AGE 12, BOTH OF MAQUOKETA. BOTH TALLMAN AND BODENHOFER ARE IN JUVENILE FACILITIES....ONE IN THE QUAD CITIES AND THE OTHER IN DUBUQUE.
JUVENILE PROBATION OFFICER BRIAN BOPES OF MAQUOKETA SAID NO MOTIVE IN THE FIRE ASSAULT HAS BEEN DETERMINED. MAQUOKETA POLICE SAY THEY RECEIVED A CALL FROM AMANDA O'MEARA ABOUT 5:30 LAST NIGHT. SHE TOLD OFFICERS TALLMAN AND BODENHOFER HAD DOUSED HER WITH GASOLINE AND LIT HER ON FIRE WITH A LIGHTER. O'MEARA DROPPED AND ROLLED ON THE GROUND TO EXTINGUISH THE FLAMES. SHE THEN RETURNED HOME AND CALLED THE POLICE THE MAQUOKETA AMBULANCE TOOK HER TO THE JACKSON COUNTY PUBLIC HOSPITAL WHERE SHE WAS TREATED FOR SECOND AND THIRD DEGREE BURNS TO 25-PERCENT OF HER BODY. I BELIEVE MAINLY ON HER BACK.
SHE WAS LATER AIR-LIFTED TO THE UNIVERSITY HOPITALS BURN UNIT,WHERE SHE REMAINS. THE MAQUOKETA POLICE ARE CONTINUING THEIR INVESTIGATION INTO THE INCIDENT AND THE MOTIVE.

NEEDLESS TO SAY...THIS IS THE TALK OF THE TOWN.

AND THAT'S IT FOR NOW.

BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE TIMBER CITY....71 AND SUNNY WITH A BREEZE.

MAQUOKETA CITY COUNCIL MEETS TONIGHT. A MAJOR PROBLEM TO SOLVE...A 100 YEAR OLD WATER MAIN HAS A LEAK AND COULD SHUT DOWN PLATT STREET THROUGH DOWNTOWN MAQUOKETA FOR 2 OR 3 DAYS..AND NO WATER FOR A DAY OR MORE DOWNTOWN. AT ISSUE, WHETHER TO HIRE A CONTRACTOR TO COME IN AND DO THE EMERGENCY JOB...INSTEAD OF PEOPLES SERVICE HERE IN TOWN DOING IT. WITH CONTRACTOR, THEY SAY THE JOB WOULD BE DOWN FASTER.

ALSO, COUNCILMEN WILL TALK MORE ABOUT THE CLEAN-UP AT CLINTON ENGINES.

LOTS OF COURT CASES IN THE NEWS TODAY..TOO MANY TO MENTION. LOTS OF NAUGHTY PEOPLE IN JACKSON COUNTY.
