CLOUDY TODAY, BUT GOT UP TO A HIGH OF 52.

GRAFFITI FOUND WRITTEN AT A MAQUOKETA HIGH SCHOOL BOY'S RESTROOM WALL HAS PROMPTED A MAQUOKETA POLICE INVESTIGATION. ONE OF THE CUSTODIANS DISCOVERED THE THREATENING GRAFFITI LAST NIGHT. DUE TO A PREVIOUSLY PLANNED
IN-SERVICE DAY, CLASSES ARE NOT SCHEDULED FOR WEDNESDAY.
CLASSES WILL BE HELD AS USUAL THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WITH POLICE OFFICERS ON DUTY IN THE BUILDING DURING THE DAY.

MAQUOKETA COMMUNITY SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS WERE ASKED LAST NIGHT AT THEIR BOARD MEETING TO OFFER 7TH GRADE FOOTBALL NEXT YEAR. THE BOARD SAID THEY WILL LOOK AT THE REQUEST DURING
FEBRUARY'S BUDGET WORKSHOP. THE REQUEST WAS MADE BY VARSITY FOOTBALL COACH KEVIN BOWMAN. MAQUOKETA IS ONE OF JUST A COUPLE 3A SCHOOLS WITH NO 7TH GRADE PROGRAM.

WORD HAS BEEN RECEIVED OF THE DEATH OF RON VEIT, AGE 74, OF DENVER, COLORADO AND FORMERLY OF MAQUOKETA. SERVICES WILL BE IN MAQUOKETA AT A LATER DATE. HE DIED TUESDAY IN DENVER.
RON IS SURVIVED BY HIS WIFE AND FOUR CHILDREN, TOM, STEVE, RONELLE AND LISA.

THE MAQUOKETA GIRLS LOST BY 2 POINTS TO WEST DELAWARE OF MANCHESTER LAST NIGHT, HERE IN MAQUOKETA.

THANKS FOR CHECKING IN AGAIN.
