SUNNY AND A HIGH OF 41 TODAY...

A HOME IN NASHVILLE, WEST OF MAQUOKETA, WAS DESTROYED BY FIRE EARLY THIS MORNING. NEIGHBORS REPORTED THE FIRE AT 12:31 AND MAQUOKETA FIREMEN CALLED IN HELP FOR MANPOWER AND TANKERS FROM BALDWIN AND LOST NATION. THE HOME WAS OWNED BY MIKE AND CONNIE YAROLEM OF MAQUOKETA AND APPARENTLY NO ONE WAS LIVING IN THE HOME. IT TOOK ABOUT AN HOUR TO CONTAIN THE BLAZE.

NO DEATHS, BIRTHS OR MAQUOKETA SPORTS TODAY.

SOME TIME BACK I MENTIONED THAT MAQUOKETA WOULD HAVE A SHOE STORE AGAIN DOWNTOWN.
WELL, FIRST, I FORGOT THAT OSTERHAUS PHARMACY SELLS HEALTH RELATED SHOES.
BUT, AS FOR THE NEW PLACE....IT IS BILL MOLER'S STORE FOR MEN.
THEY NOW HAVE 'NOTHINZ'...CLOG SANDALS...FOR MEN AND WOMEN, IN A VARIETY COLORS, FOR $29.95 A PAIR. VERY POPULAR AND THESE FEATHERWEIGHT SHOES ARE SELLING WELL AT THE STORE, WITH A COUPLE RE-ORDERS ALREADY NECESSARY, SAYS OWNER, JAKE BICKFORD.

THIS YEAR, KMAQ HAS TO BROADCAST SOME EXHIBITION ST. LOUIS CARDINAL GAMES, AND OUR FIRST IS TOMORROW NOON, FROM FLORIDA, AGAINST THE MARLINS.

SORRY, ABOUT THE SHORT REPORT TODAY.

HAVE A NICE WEEKEND.
