BEAUTIFUL DAY TODAY...HIGH OF 77
JACKSON COUNTY ATTORNEY JOHN KIES HAS DECIDED NOT TO SEEK RE-ELECTION THIS FALL ON THE INDEPENDENT TICKET.
FORMER COUNTY ATTORNEY PHILP TABOR DEFEATED KIES IN THE JUNE PRIMARY WHEN THE PAIR RAN ON THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
KIES SAID TODAY HE PLANS TO GO INTO PRIVATE PRACTICE IN BELLEVUE.
HE HAS BEEN COUNTY ATTORNEY SINCE 2000.
MAQUOKETA SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS THIS WEEK DIRECTED SUPT.
KIM HUCKSTADT TO LOOK AT EXTENDING THE CURRENT ONE PERCENT SALES TAX LEVY FOR ANOTHER 10 YEARS.
BOARD MEMBERS ARE LOOKING AT THE SALES TAX EXTENSION AS A WAY TO HELP PAY FOR A PROPOSED $6-MILLION EXPANSION AT THE HIGH SCHOOL FOR RENOVATIONS OF THE CAFETERIA AND FOR A NEW GYM.
BOARD MEMBERS PLAN TO BORROW AGAINST THE ONE PERCENT TAX TO PAY FOR THE FACILITY. $4.8 MILLION CAN BE USED FROM THE EXISTING SALES TAX, WITHOUT EXTENSION. THE HOPED FOR HIGH SCHOOL PROJECT, WITH A MORE EXPENSIVE SUNKEN GYM, WILL BE IN THE AREA OF $6-MILLION AND THE EXTRAN $1.2 MILLION WOULD COME FROM THE EXTENDED TAX IF IT IS APPROVED. NO PROPERTY TAXES ARE TO BE SPENT ON THE BUILDING PROJECT.
THE MAQUOKETA CITY COUNCIL FINANCE COMMITTEE WILL TALK ABOUT A PROPOSAL FROM THE YMCA TO ASSUME PARK AND REC PROGRAMMING AND MORE FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ARC. THE MEETING IS AT 7 A.M. TOMORROW. IN ADDITION TO RECEIVING THE MONEY NOW USED TO FUND PARKS AND RECREATION, AND THE OLD POOL, THE YMCA WANTS THE CITY TO PAY THEM AN ADDITIONAL $100,000 A YEAR FOR THREE YEARS. IF THERE ARE OPERATING LOSSES (NOT ENOUGH PLEDGES OF MONEY AND ANNUAL MEMBERSHIPS) THE CITY AND THE YMCA WOULD NEGOTIATE WHO WOULD PAY THE DIFFERENCE.
NO TURNING AROUND NOW. BULLDOZERS ARE GRADING THE SITE OF THE ARC ACROSS FROM THE CEMETERY AND NEAR THE INDUSTRIAL PARK ON MAQUOKETA'S SOUTH BORDER.
NO BIRTHS OR DEATHS.
THANKS AGAIN FOR THE VISIT HERE.

NICE TODAY..HIGH OF 84.
A RURAL MAQUOKETA COUPLE, PAM AND RANDY GARIEN, WILL GET THEIR HORSES, COUGARS AND DOGS BACK, BUT NOT THEIR BLACK BEAR. A SETTLEMENT WAS REACHED BY THEIR ATTORNEY, MARK LAWSON AND JACKSON COUNTY ATTORNEY, JOHN KIES. AND DR. JENNIFER DOLL, VETERINARIAN....AND KARLA SIBERT OF THE IOWA EQUINE RESCUE AND AWARENESS LEAGUE ARE BOTH UNHAPPY WITH THE AGREEMENT. DOLL SAID THE ANIMALS WERE IN BAD SHAPE WHEN SHE WAS FIRST CALLED TO THE GARIEN HOME AND SIBERT SAID YOU COULD SEE THE RIBS ON THE HORSES. NO CHARGES WILL BE FILED AND THE AGREEMENT CALLS FOR THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE TO INSPECT THE GARIEN PROPERTY FOUR TIMES IN THE NEXT YEAR AND CHECK THE ANIMALS. DOLL HAS THE 350 POUND BLACK BEAR IN HER GARAGE AND SAID HE HAS RAISED $6,000 TOWARD FINDING A PLACE FOR HIM TO LIVE. SHE HAS CALLED NUMEROUS PLACES AROUND THE COUNTRY TRYING TO FIND IT A HOME. AND THERE WERE FOUR COUGARS TAKEN AND ONE HAS SINCE DIED. TAKEN FROM THE PROPERT, 55 ANIMALS. THE GARIENS HAVE AGREED TO GIVE UP THE BEAR, TWO FOX, TWO CATS AND 15 CHICKENS. TO BE RETURNED TO THEM...11 HORSES, 3 COUGARS, 12 DOGS AND 8 PUPPIES. SHIRLEY SCHOLTES, PRESIDENT OF THE JACKSON COUNTY HUMANE SOCIETY SAID SHE WAS TOO DISAPPOINTED IN THE AGREEMENT TO COMMENT.
THE MAQUOKETA CITY COUNCIL LAST NIGHT SENT BACK THE PROPOSED ANIMAL ORDINANCE FOR FURTHER REVIEW. THE FIRST READING OF THE ORDINACE IS SCHEDULED NOW FOR THE AUGUST 21ST MEETING. ONE OF THE ISSUES IS HOW MANY DOGS AND CATS WILL A PERSON BE ABLE TO KEEP IN TOWN? AND
FOR THOSE WITH MORE THAN THE AMOUNT SPECIFIED, WILL THE CITY
"GRANDFATHER" THOSE SITUATIONS? STILL QUESTIONS TOO ON WALKING A DOG OR CAT AND LEASHING REQUIREMENTS.
JUDY KRUSE TONDERUM OF RURAL MAQUOKETA WILL BE INDUCED INTO THE 4-H HALL OF FAME AT THE IOWA STATE FAIR AUGUST 20TH. SHE HAS BEEN A 4-H MEMBER, A LEADER, COUNTY 4-H PROGRAM ASSISTANT AND A FAIRBOARD MEMBER.
SHE IS ALSO A MASTER GARDNER AND APPEARS REGULARLY TALKING ABOUT GARDENING ON KMAQ'S JUST TALK SHOW. CONGRATULATIONS TO JUDY.
A WELL-DESERVED HONOR.
A TWO-VEHICLE ACCIDENT BE NOON YESTERDAY ON EAST PLATT STREET.
ONE DRIVER WAS JENNIFER BAKER, 19, OF MAQUOKETA AND SHE WAS CHARGED KIWTH FAILURE TO STOP IN AN ASSURED CLEAR DISTANCE. SHE WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL AND TREATED FOR MINIIOR INJURIES. HER VEHICLE HIT ONE DRIVEN BY DEMPSEY CLARK, 18, OF MAQUOKETA. DAMAGES TO HER VEHICLE, $8,000 AND $2, 500 DAMAGE TO CLARK'S TRUCK. CLARK WAS NOT INJURED.
POLICE OFFICER DARREN RISINGER INVESTIGATED THE ACCIDENT.
I'M GOING TO THE BELLEVUE WAR SUNDAY AFTERNOON. IT WILL BE THE 3RD OR 4TH REENACTMENT. IT WILL BE IN DOWNTOWN BELLEVUE AT 2 P.M. NEXT TO THE BELLEVUE HOTEL WHERE THE 8 MEN DIED. THERE WILL BE OVER 30 LOCALS IN THE PRODUCTION. A BOOK HAS BEEN WRITTEN ABOUT THE WAR. THE EVENT SUNDAY IS PART OF THE ART-ALONG-THE-MISSISSIPPI ANNUAL SHOW DOWNTOWN, AND ALSO COUNTY-WIDE OPEN HOUSES AT NUMEROUS TOURIST ATTRACTIONS IN
THE COUNTY. MAPS WILL BE PROVIDED DIRECTING PEOPLE THE VARIOUS LOCATIONS. SO, IT WILL BE A BUSY DAY IN JACKSON COUNTY SUNDAY AND
FOR DEMOCRATS SUNDAY NIGHT, THE ANNUAL STEAK FRY AT THE KALMES RESTAURANT IN THE JACKSON COUNTY LOUXENBERG COMMUNITY OF ST. DONATUS. LISTENING TO THOSE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES SPEAK COMES ONLY AFTER WE ENJOY ONE OF WINDY'S GREAT RIBEYE STEAKS OFF HIS GRILL. NO ONE CAN DO A RIBEYE LIKE WINDY.
NEW AT THE 61 DRIVE-IN THEATRE.....A 9-SEAT SWING SET. KIDS LOVE IT.
AND OF COURSE, KIDS REALLY LOVE THE 61 TRAIN. IT HAS BEEN ANOTHER FUN SUMMER AT THE DRIVE-IN, WITH MORE HITS STILL TO COME. STILL OPEN 7 NIGHTS A WEEK.
ANYONE REMEMBER GOING TO THE DRIVE-IN YEARS AGO?
HAVE A GOOD NIGHT AND GREAT WEDNESDAY.
