RAIN THIS MORNING AND COLD.

NOT BAD, BUT COOL THIS AFTERNOON. WEEKEND SHOULD BE COOL BUT NICE.

LONGTIME DELMAR CITY COUNCIL MEMBER JUDY JOHNSON WAS APPOINTED DELMAR MAYOR DURING A SPECIAL MEETING LAST NIGHT OF THE DELMAR COUNCIL.

JACKSON COUNTY SHERIFF DEPUTIES ARRESTED A MAQUOKETA MAN, BRIAN FILLOON, AGE 18, FOR STEALING GUNS. TWO GUNS WERE FOUND IN HIS VEHICLE THAT BELONGED TO HARVEY UNTIEDT OF MAQUOKETA, WHO SAID THE GUNS HAD BEEN STOLEN FROM HIS BEDROOM.

HEARD RUMOR TODAY THAT A "JIFFY LUBE" IS COMING TO TOWN.

BAND CONCERT AT THE FAIRGROUNDS LAST NIGHT (ALSO SENIOR CITIZEN ICE CREAM SOCIAL) SPONSORED BY THE ROTARY WENT WELL, BUT LOW ATTENDANCE.
GREAT ONE-HOUR CONCERT BY CONDUCTOR JAY KAHN AND THE TIMBER CITY BAND.
THE GROUP OF ABOUT 40 WAS MADE UP OF HALF MAQUOKETA MUSICIANS AND THE REST FROM NEIGHBORING CITIES. THEY PLAY AGAIN TONIGHT AT DUBUQUE.
LAST NIGHT WAS THE 29TH YEAR IN A ROW FOR THE EVENT. STEVE TUBBS, ON SAX, HAS BEEN TO MOST OF THEM.
ED TUBBS, ASHER SCHROEDER, AND PAUL BROWN SURE LIKE ICECREAM!

NO BIRTHS OR DEATHS.

MY DAUGHTER LONNA AND FAMILY ARE MOVING TO BETTENDORF. SHAWN IS LEAVING THE DUBUQUE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO WORK FOR BETTENDORF PD. THEY HAVE ALREADY SOLD THEIR DUBUQUE HOME AND BOUGHT ANOTHER IN BETTENDORF AND WILL MOVE BY AUGUST 1ST.
LONNA WILL CONTINUE TO WORK HERE AND COMMUTE...SHE IS MANAGER OF THE MAQUOKETA STATE BANK WEST SIDE OFFICE. THEY HAVE SON JACOB, ALMOST 2.
SON RICK IS A DETECTIVE WITH DAVENPORT PD. HE AND SHERI AND TWO KIDS ALSO LIVE IN BETTENDORF. SO..NANCY AND I WILL BE MAKING LOTS OF TRIPS SOUTH IN THE FUTURE, MORE THAN BEFORE.

THE NEW SPIDERMAN MOVIE STARTS WEDNESDAY NATIONWIDE AND ALSO AT MY THEATRE AND IS EXPECTED TO BE A VERY BIG SUMMER MOVIE.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAW A GOOD MOVIE ON A BIG THEATRE SCREEN?
SURPRISE YOUR SPOUSE AND DO IT SOON! SURE, THE POPCORN MIGHT BE $4 A TUB, BUT NOT AS BAD AS $7.00 BEER AT THE BALLPARK.

THE ST. LOUIS CARDINALS ARE #1 THESE DAYS, IN CASE YOU HAVE NOT NOTICED.

PLAY THE CUBS AGAIN TONIGHT.

PLAYED GOLF THE OTHER DAY. I NEED TO GET ONE OF THOSE COUNTERS THAT I CAN TAKE WITH ME TO KEEP TRACK OF MY SCORE.

FOUR!
MY SLICE JUST ABOUT HIT YOU.

TAKE IT EASY.
