HAPPY NEW YEAR!
IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN IOWA TODAY...SUNNY AND HIGH OF 41. RAIN AND SLEET IN FORECAST FOR TOMORROW.
AN ORDINANCE IS BEING DISCUSSED FOR EASTERN IOWA COUNTIES, INCLUDING JACKSON AND CLINTON, TO RESTRICT THE SALE OF PSEUDOPHEDRINE, WHICH IS A MAJOR INGREDIENT IN MAKING METHMPHETEAMINE. IT IS INCLUDED IN MANY COLD MEDICINES AND THE ORDINACE WOULD REQUIRE RETAILERS TO LIMIT THE SALE OF THE COLD MEDICINE DRUG TO BE SOLD FROM BEHIND THE COUNTER AT DRUG STORES AND RETAILERS WOULD ALSO BE LIMITED TO THE SALE OF TWO PACKAGES A DAY, PER PERSON AND A PHOTO ID WOULD ALSO BE REQUIRED.
ILLINOIS HAS ENACTED SIMILAR RESTRICTIONS AND JACKSON COUNTY ATTORNEY JOHN KIES SAID HE DOESN'T WANT JACKSON COUNTY TO BECOME THE HAVEN FOR DRUG MAKERS IF OTHER COUNTIES ARE MAKING RESTRICTIONS.
PUBLIC HEARINGS ARE PLANNED FOR JANUARY BEFORE A FINAL ORDINANCE IS PASSED.
FORMER MAQUOKETA AND IOWA STATE QUARTERBACK SAGE ROSENFELS IS
EXPECTED TO BE THE STARTING QUARTERBACK THIS SUNDAY FOR THE MIAMI DOLPHINS. EVERYONE IN IOWA IS EXCITED ABOUT THAT. HIS PARENTS LIVE JUST A SHORT DISTANCE NORTH OF MAQUOKETA. I'M SURE THEY'LL BE AT THE GAME
THIS SUNDAY, WHICH STARTS AT NOON.
AT THE SUPERVORS MEETING IN MAQUOKETA THIS WEEK, MIKE COTTON WAS RECOGNIZED FOR SERVING JACKSON COUNTY 29 YEARS IN THE AUDITOR'S OFFICE, MOST OF THOSE YEARS AS AUDITOR. HE WAS DEFEATED IN THE NOVEMBER ELECTION. HIS OFFICE STAFF PRESENTED HIM WITH HIS DESK CHAIR, WASTE BASKET AND LETTER HOLDER, ALONG WITH A POCKET WATCH. ALSO RECOGNIZED, WAS BUTCH WATTERS, WHO IS RETIRING AFTER 27 YEARS IN THE MAINTENACE DEPARTMENT AT THE COURTHOUSE.
D.L. STEVENS, AGE 87, OF MAQUOKETA DIED LAST NIGHT AT UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS. HE WAS A FARMER AND WAS A REGISTERED HEREFORD CATTLEMAN AND IN FACT, WAS A PAST-PRESIDENT OF THE IOWA HEREFORD ASSOCIATION.
HIS SURVIVORS INCLUDE SONS FRANK AND DAVID IN MAQUOKETA AND CLIFF IN DEWITT.
THE NEW GNOMAD COFFEE SHOP OPENED TODAY ON NORTH MAIN STREET IN MAQUOKETA, IN THE LOCATION THAT FOR MANY YEARS WAS BOB'S BARBER SHOP.
THE OWNERS ARE LUKE HALEY AND TONY SCHMIDT. THEY HAVE WORKED THE LAST TWO MONTHS GETTING THE BUILDING READY FOR BUSINESS. I AND JAKE BICKFORD TOOK OUR COFFEE BREAK THERE THIS AFTERNOON AND TOOK A QUICK TOUR. THE FRONT PART OF BUILDING IS WHERE THERE ARE SEVERAL TABLES AND CHAIRS FOR COFFEE (AND LATER SANDWICHS AND PASTRIES) E PATRONS TO SIT.
MIDWAY BACK, IS A COMPUTER ROOM WHERE ONE CAN ACCESS THE INTERNET AND DO SOME WEB SEEKING OR CHECKING OF EMAIL , AND AT THE REAR OF THE BUILDING, THERE I S A SMALL STAGE AREA WITH SOME RESTORED MOVIE THEATRE SEATS, WHERE "LIVE" MUSIC WILL BE ENJOYED. GOOD LUCK TO LUKE AND TONY.
JAKE AND I HAD REGULAR COFFEE, BUT MANY FLAVORS TO CHOOSE FROM.
HOPE 2004 WAS GOOD FOR YOU AND THAT 2005 WILL BE EVEN BETTER.
AGAIN..HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM NANCY AND I.... AND THE STAFF OF KMAQ
AND THE VOY THEATRES.

ZERO AGAIN LAST NIGHT....SUNNY AND COLD TODAY.
ANOTHER SCROOGE STORY. SOMEONE TOOK A SLEIGH AND REINDEER AND THE POWER CORD FROM THE LAUREL BAKER HOME AT 18730 FULTON ROAD IN MAQUOKETA. VALUE OF THE STOLEN MERCHANDISE, $120.00.
(WARNING: BEWARE OF CONTENT OF THIS STORY) IN JACKSON COUNTY MAGISTRATE COURT, 21 YEAR OLD JUSTIN GALLOWAY AND 21 YEAR OLD BRIAN WILHELM, BOTH OF MAQUOKETA, WERE CHARGED WITH ASSAULT CAUSING INJURY.
MAQUOKETA POLICE SAY THE PAIR, ALONG WITH BRIAN HOPSON AND CHRIS MAINS, KICKED ADAM BEARCE IN THE HEAD, BREAKING HIS JAW AND TEARING HIS EAR FROM HIS HEAD, DURING A FIGHT THAT HAPPENED AT 9:30 THE NIGHT OF NOVEMBER 25TH AT 206 N. DEARBORN.
LOTS OF TALK GOING ON BY MAQUOKETA CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND BUSINESSMEN ABOUT DOWNTOWN PARKING IN MAQUOKETA. THERE ARE SOME SPECIAL 15-MINUTE ZONES, THERE ARE MOSTLY 2-HOUR ZONES AND THERE WAS A REQUEST FOR SOME 30-MINUTE ZONES. AND THERE IS A NEED FOR MORE PARKING IN GENERAL. BUT, LIMITS IS THE BIG ISSUE THESE DAYS. AND ALL AGREE, IF THE PARKING IS NOT POLICED, NOTHING WILL WORK TO THE BETTERMENT OF PARKING. THE LATEST PROPOSAL, BY A COMMITTEE OF THE COUNCIL WOULD HAVE MADE THE WEST SIDE OF MAIN STREET 30 MINUTE SPACE AND THE EAST SIDE OF MAIN, 2-HOUR SPACES. NO ACTION TAKEN AND MORE MEETINGS ARE COMING. I THINK THEY SHOULD POUND A POLE IN THE PAVEMENT AT THE END OF EACH PARKING SPACE AND ON THAT POLE, MOUNT SOME KIND OF MACHINE WITH A TIMER ON IT AND A SLOT FOR INSERTING A COIN.
THAN FOR SO MUCH MONEY, THE SHOPPER COULD PARK FOR SO MANY MINUTES.
THEN THEY COULD HIRE A POLICEMAN WITH A 3-WHEEL MOTORCYCLE AND HE COULD GO UP AND DOWN THE STREETS TO SEE IF ANY VEHICLE WAS PARKING WERE THE TIMER HAD RUN OUT. IF A....LET'S CALL IT A METER.....IS RUN OUT, THE PERSON WITH THE VEHICLE PARKED THERE COULD BE GIVEN AN ENVELOPE TICKET AND TOLD TO PLACE A FINE IN THAT ENVELOPE. AND THEN PLACE THE ENVELOPE AT A COLLECTION BOX ON EACH SIDE OF THE STREET. THE MONEY FROM THESE FINES COULD THEN BE USED TO PAY THE SPECIAL POLICEMEN.
MAYBE SOMEONE HAS THOUGHT ABOUT THIS BEFORE. OH WELL, I'LL KEEP YOU POSTED ON MAQUOKETA DOWNTOWN PARKING PROBLEM.
JUST A FEW YEARS AGO, WE HAD SPECIAL HITCHING POSTS (NO METER) AROUND TOWN WHERE THE AMISH COULD TIE UP THEIR HORSE AND BUGGY. NO MORE AMISH AROUND, SO THOSE ARE GONE.
THERE, I STRETCHED THIS REPORT OUT A LITTLE, SO IT WOULDN'T BE TOO SHORT.
I PLAN TO HAVE A SHORT REPORT TOMORROW FOR CHRISTMAS EVE....SO LEAVE ME SOME COOKIES AND MILK (MILLER TYPE) FOR WHEN I VISIT YOUR HOME TOMORROW AFTERNOON.
HAPPY LAST MINUTE SHOPPING.

15 last night...partly sunny today and a high of 38.
Land values again went up in 2004, compared to 2003. The average value of an acre of farmland in Iowa increased $354 an acre, to an all-time high of $2,629. The annual survey was conducted by Iowa State University. In Jackson County, the land value in 2004 was $2,427 an acre, up from $2,122 last year, a 14.4 percent increase. Someone with a 200 acre farm in Jackson County, had in increase in value of his/her farm of around $60,000. Scott County again has the highest per acre value of $4,167....breaking the $4,000 barrier for first time ever.
Low interest rates and a good crop yield in 2003 were two major factors in the better than 12-percent increase statewide.
School Board news: Next semester, the MCHS Future Farmers of America Program will see a switch in duties.
Jennifer Nabb and Gary Bruns will switch places. Bruns will become the FFA advisor and Nabb will be the Assistant FFA advisor. The request for the change came from the two, according to High School Principal Bill Walters. He said there were extinuating circumstances for the change, but declined to elabaorate.
The cattle that were reported missing yesterday near Bellevue have been found. They were found in a neighbor's field. No explanation was given.
John "Hawk" Bean of Maquoketa, age 77, died yesterday at a Davenport Hospital.
He is survived by his wife, Kathleen Been and 2 daughters, Cecelia in Davenport and Rachelle in Bettendorf. He was an electrician for Maquoketa Municipal Electric, retiring in 1992.
Mary Kay Roth, 61, of Bellevue, died this morning after an extended illness. Survivors include a daughter, Laurie Steines of Maquoketa and a brother, Barney McAfee of Maquoketa.
Shane Bock of Des Moines and formerly of Maquoketa, died Tuesday at Crestridge Nursing Home in Maquoketa after an extended illness. He got his law degree from Drake Law School in 1986 and worked for the Iowa Supreme Court and later for the Iowa Court of Appeals.
He won an award twice for being "Iowa's best piano player". He is survived by his mother, Gisele Bock of Maquoketa.
The Clinton County breakfast forthe Clinton-area people who winter in Arizona, will be held this year the 3rd Saturday in January and February at the Sunland Villaage Restaurant in East Mesa, Arizona. Reservations are required. Anyone who has ever lived in Clinton County is welcome to attend. I own a drive-in theatre in Clinton County. Wonder if I qualify.

Land values again went up in 2004, compared to 2003. The average value of an acre of farmland in Iowa increased $354 an acre, to an all-time high of $2,629. The annual survey was conducted by Iowa State University. In Jackson County, the land value in 2004 was $2,427 an acre, up from $2,122 last year, a 14.4 percent increase. Someone with a 200 acre farm in Jackson County, had in increase in value of his/her farm of around $60,000. Scott County again has the highest per acre value of $4,167....breaking the $4,000 barrier for first time ever.
Low interest rates and a good crop yield in 2003 were two major factors in the better than 12-percent increase statewide.

ANOTHER CLOUDY DAY AND COOL.
A MAQUOKETA WOMAN WAS ARRESTED ON A WARRANT THIS WEEK ON CHARGES OF SEXUAL ABUSE IN THE SECOND DEGREE. KAYLEIGH HEATH, 18, FACES THE CHARGES IN COURT, AND IS BEING HELD IN THE CLINTON COUNTY JAIL ON
$32,500 CASH BOND. A PUBLIC DEFENDER FROM MUSCATINE WILL BE NAMED AS HER ATTORNEY. MAQUOKETA POLICE SAID SHE IS ACCUSED OF HAVING SEXUAL INTERCOURSE WITH A CHILD UNDER 12 IN JUNE.
IN COURT NEWS: JEREMY MCDEVITT, 31, OF MAQUOKETA, WAS CHARGED WITH DOMESTIC ABUSE FOR CHOKING AND HITTING HIS GIRLFRIEND LAST NIGHT ABOUT 11 AT 219 S. MATTESON STREET IN MAQUOKETA.
THE MAQUOKETA HIGH SCHOOL ADVENT SING WILL CELEBRATE ITS 50TH ANNIVERSARY THIS YEAR WITH A PUBLIC GRAND OPENING PERFORMANCE AT THE NEW ONWARD FINE ARTS AUDITORIUM ON EAST PLATT STREET...ON DECEMBER 18TH. IN ADDITION TO THE CURRENT MAQUOKETA HIGH SCHOOL PERFORMERS, ALUMNI FROM 1955 UNTIL TODAY WILL BE ASKED TO JOIN IN. THE EVENT WAS STARTED IN 1955BY JANICE FARNUM AND SHE LED THE EVENT FOR 30 YEARS. PAMELA CRAWFORD NOW LEADS THE VOCAL MUSIC DEPARTMENT AND IS CELEBRATING HER 20TH YEAR WITH THE PROGRAM. A SOUP AND SANDWICH SUPPER WILL BE HELD ATTHE HIGH SCHOOL THE DAY OF THE CONCERT, FROM 4:30 UNTI 6:30 P.M. PRIOR TO THE CONCERT IN THE NEW 830-PLUS AUDITORIUM. DOORS WILL OPEN AT 6:45 FOR A MEMORY WALK AND THE CONCERT WILL BEGIN AAT 7:30 P.M. $5 FOR ADULTS, $3 FOR STUDENTS.
YES, I AGREE, IT WAS NOT VERY NICE OF THE BOSTON RED SOX TO DEFEAT THE CARDINALS 4 STRAIGHT GAMES. BUT, THEY WERE THE BEST TEAM.
ONE THOUGHT: FROM NOW ON, THERE WILL BE, OR MAYBE SHOULD BE,
AN ALL OUT EFFORT TO WIN THE ALL STAR GAME IN JULY. THE TEAM THAT WINS, GETS HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE FOR THE WORLD SERIES. IF THE NATIONAL LEAGUE HAD WON THE ALL STAR GAME THIS PAST JULY, THE WORLD SERIES WOULD HAVE STARTED IN ST. LOUIS INSTEAD OF BOSTON AND THE CARDINALS WOULD HAVE HAD THE BEST CHANCE, AS BOSTON DID, TO WIN EARLY AT HOME AND GET OFF TO A GOOD START. AND IF THE SERIES WOULD HAVE WENT THE FULL 7 GAMES, FOUR OF THE SEVEN WOULD HAVE BEEN PLAYED IN BOSTON, A BOSTON ADVANTAGE.
THAT ALL FOR NOW...THANKS FOR CHECKING IN.
