THE GIRLS ALSO LOST FRIDAY NIGHT...AND THE WRESTLERS FINISHED 6TH IN THE INDEPENDENCE
TOURNAMENT SATURDAY.
FORMER MAQUOKETA AND IOWA STATE GRAD, QUARTERBACK SAGE ROSENFELS GUIDED THE MIAMI DOLPHINS TO A 24 TO 23 COME FROM BEHIND WIN OVER THE BUFFALO BILLS YESTERDAY IN MIAMI. HE THREW A PASS WITH 6 SECONDS LEFT TO SCORE THE WINNING TOUCHDOWN. IT WAS THE LAST OF 3 TOUCHDOWNS SCORED IN THE FINAL 11 MINUTES OF THE GAME AND SAGE DIRECTED ALL 3 TOUCHDOWN DRIVES.
A GREAT DAY FOR SAGE AFTER HE REPLACED THE REGULAR QUARTERBACK. SIXTY THOUSAND FANS ATTENDED THE GAME, BUT ONLY TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND STAYED TO SEE THE BIG WIN.

ABOUT 1,000 SAW THE PRODUCTION OF THE "NUTCRACKER" SATURDAY AT THE NEW OHNWARD FINE ARTS CENTER.....AN AFTERNOON AND EVENING PEFORMANCE, WITH NET PROCEEDS GOING TO SUNSHINE PRE-SCHOOL AND DAYCARE. DIDN'T SEE IT, BUT HEAR IT WAS A GREAT SHOW.
AND YESTERDAY, A BRANSON COUNTRY SHOW WAS HELD AT ONHWARD, AGAIN AFTERNOON AND EVENING AND GOOD TURNOUT FOR IT AND I'M TOLD, AN EXCELLENT SHOW.
THE OHNWARD CENTER IS GETTING LOTS OF SHOWS AND GOOD COMMENTS ON THEM. A GREAT ADDITION TO OUR TOWN. ITS SEATS AROUND 840.
HAVE A GOOD WEEK.
