SUNNY AND COOL TODAY..HIGH 61.
THE CLASS OF 1952 IS HAVING THEIR 55TH CLASS REUNION IN MAQUOKETA THIS WEEKEND.
A CANVASS OF THE SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION RESULTED IN A BIGGER MARGIN OF VICTORY FOR
MARTY HUDRLIK OVER DOUG KNICKREHM. IT WENT FROM 6 VOTES TO A 56 VOTE VICTORY FOR HUDRLIK.
THE PRELIMINARY ENROLLMENT FIGURE FOR THE MAQUOKETA SCHOOL DISTRICT SHOWS A DECLINE FOR THIS YEAR. TOTAL ENROLLMENT AT ALL BUILDINGS, 1,634...DOWN 42 FROM LAST YEAR.
SUPT. KIM HUCKSTADT SAID A DECLINE OF 50 WAS PROJECTED AND THAT THE DECLINE TRANSLATES INTO LOSING OVER $200,000 IN STATE AID. HUCKSTADT SAID ADJUSTMENTS
HAVE ALREADY BEEN MADE SO THERE SHOULD BE NO MAJOR IMPACT ON THE BUDGET.
OVER 300 CAME TO THE FIRST WARD PARK YESTERDAY TO SEE SENATOR OBAMA. GOOD TURNOUT.
HE NOW HAS HIS OWN HEADQUARTERS BUILDING IN MAQUOKETA...ON MAIN STREET.
THE 10TH ANNUAL ALZHEIMERS MEMORY WALK WILL BE HELD TOMORROW MORNING AT THE 5TH WARD PARK IN MAQUOKETA.
HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND.
