NO SUN TODAY...AND HIGH OF 63.

THE MAQUOKETA COMMUNITY SCHOOL BOARD SAYS THEY ARE NOT GOING TO OFFER SOCCER AS A COMPETITIVE SPORT AT THE HIGH SCHOOL NEXT YEAR. FOR A COUPLE YEARS, THERE HAS BEEN SOME INTEREST IN DOING SO. BOARD MEMBERS SAY THEY HAVE ALL THEY CAN HANDLE FUNDING AND KEEPING COACHES FOR THE CURRENT SPORTS. ALSO, WHETHER FALL, OR SPRING, SOCCER WOULD TAKE ATHLETES AND FANS FROM THE OTHER LONG ESTABLISHED SPORTS.
WISE THINKING I BELIEVE.

THE SCHOOL BOARD GOT A RECENT SURPRISE THAT THE DISTRICT WILL AFTER ALL, GET $240,000 FROM A HARKIN GRANT TO HELP FUND THE NEW OFFICE FOR THE MIDDLE SDHOOL, WHICH IS CURRENTLY ON THE 2ND FLOOR.

MATTHEW YAROLEM, AGE 21, OF MAQUOKETA, FACES CHARGES OF CARRYING A CONCEALED WEAPON AND ASSAULT FOLLOWING AN INCIDENT AT 6:45 THE NIGHT OF MARCH 17TH. THE POLICE ARRESTED HIM ON EAST PLATT FOR POINTING A HANDGUN AT THE HEAD OF ANOTHER PERSON. HE HAS BEEN RELEASED ON $6,500 BOND.

LATE PLEDGES FOR THE SUNSHINE RADIOTHON OF LAST SUNDAY NOW TOTAL OVER $1,000. EACH DAY MONEY COMES IN BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE NOT HOME SUNDAY AND DID NOT PLEDGE THEN, BUT STILL WANT TO.

ANYBODY REMEMBER THE DRIPOLATORS?

NO BIRTHS.

NO DEATHS.

DID YOU KNOW, IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS, 25 NEW HOMES HAVE GONE UP IN MAQUOKETA?

THERE IS A PERFECT HOME FOR YOU IF YOU WANT TO MOVE BACK TO MAQUOKETA.
I KNOW OF A COUPLE OLDER HOMES TOO THAT ARE FOR SALE...ONE JUST OVER
$250,000, A DREAM WITH LARGE YARD..ALSO A GRAND OLD HOME ON PLEASANT STREET NEAR CARSON FUNERAL HOME. NO, I AM NOT A REALTOR...JUST LOOKING TO BUILD UP THE POPULATION OF THE TOWN AND LISTENERS FOR KMAQ.

TAKE CARE.
