THE ST. LOUIS CARDINALS DID IT (WITH HELP FROM ATLANTA)...
WOW...THAT WAS EXCITING. WE BROADCAST THE FIRST PLAY GAME AGAINST SAN DIEGO TOMORROW AFTERNOON.

TWO JACKSON COUNTY COURTHOUSE EMPLOYS HAVE RESIGNED.
BILL GOTTLER WILL LEAVE IN JANUARY. HE IS THE COUNTY ASSESSOR ADN HAS WORKED IN THAT OFFICE SINCE 1977. HE DID NOT MENTION HIS FUTURE PLANS. THE COUNTY COMPENSATION BOARD WILL APPOINT HIS SUCCESSOR. THE PERSON HAS TO HAVE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS AND THE IOWA DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE HAS A LIST OF ELIGIBLE CANDIDATES. GOETTLER SAID HIS DEPUTY, DEB LANE, HAS NOT TAKEN THE ASSESSOR'S EXAM SO SHE IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE POSITION AT THIS TIME.

ALSO, JACKSON COUNTY ATTORNEY JOHN KIES ANNOUNCED THAT HIS ASSISTANT, NICHOLAS SCOTT HAS RESIGNED. HE HAS HELD THAT POSITION SINCE NOMBER OF LAST YEAR, HAS BEEN COMMUTING FROM CEDAR RAPIDS AND IS JOINING A CEDAR RAPIDS LAW FIRM.
