WE ARE HAVING BEAUTIFUL WEATHER THESE DAYS. LITTLE COOL, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT. AN EARTHQUAKE (4.5) IN NORTHERN ILLINOIS AROUND 1:15 THIS MORNING COULD BE FELT IN MAQUOKETA AND EASTERN IOWA. LOIS FISCHER WHO WORKS FOR ME IN SALES WAS ONE THAT FELT IT, AND SO DID MY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW IN BETTENDORF. IN MY 46 YEARS IN MAQUOKETA, THIS WAS THE 3RD EARTHQUAKE
FOR THIS AREA. AT LEAST THAT I KNOW OF. AND EARLY THIS MORNING, WE GOT 17/100 OF AN INCH OF RAIN, BRINGING OUR TOTAL TO JUST OVER 7 INCHES FOR THE MONTH.

A TWO CAR ACCIDENT AT 6 LAST NIGHT SIX MILES NW OF MAQUOKETA. DRIVER OF A PICKUP PULLNG A LIVESTOCK TRAILER, DANNY PEIFER, 39, OF SABULA AND OTHER VEHICLE, DRIVEN BY CHARLOTTE MCCLAFLIN OF RURAL MAQUOKETA. SHE STOPPED AT STOP SIGN BUT THEN PULLED OUT INTO THE INTERSECTION AND WAS STRUCK BY THE TRUCK. CHARLOTTE AND HER HUSBAND, JOHN, WERE TAKEN BY AMBULANCE TO THE JACKSON COUNTY PUBLIC HOSPITAL WHERE THEY WERE TREATED
AND RELEASED.

NO BIRTHS OR DEATHS..

SHORT REPORT, NOT MUCH NEWS.

HAVE A GOOD WEEK.
