WE HAD GREAT WEATHER OVER THE WEEKEND AND TODAY WAS ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL DAY. SUNNY TODAY WITH A HIGH OF 76. THE REST OF THE WEEK TOO, WITH A CHANCE OF SOME RAIN ON THURSDAY. AND RIGHT NOW, IT LOOKS LIKE THE LABOR DAY WEEKEND WILL BE NICE.

A CROP DUSTER PLANE, OPERATED BY A TENNESSEE MAN, WENT DOWN IN A HAY FIELD OWNED BY BILL MILLER, RURAL MAQUOKETA, JUST BEFORE 4 YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. THE PILOT WAS NOT INJURED AND THERE WAS MINOR DAMAGE TO THE PLANE.

THE MAQUOKETA EDUCATION ASSOCIATION WILL HOST A CANDIDATE FORUM FOR CANDIDATES FOR THE MAQUOKETA SCHOOL BOARD, AT 5 P.M. THIS WEDNESDAY AT THE MAQUOKETA CITY HALL. THE SCHOOL BOARD CANDIDATES ARE INCUMBENT ANNE HAWKS AND CHALLENGER GEORGE HOUSTON. BOTH HAVE YARD SIGNS AROUND TOWN. AND THAT RACE IS STARTING TO GET INTERESTING.
ALSO RUNNING, FOR RE-ELECTION, UNOPPOSED, LONGTIME BOARD MEMBER,
BILL SCHWENKER.

A WELL KNOWN AREA VOLUNTEER FIREMAN, DICK GRIMM, AGE 73, OF CHARLOTTE,
