CLOUDY TODAY AND IN THE 20'S. TONIGHT, SIX OR MORE INCHES OF SNOW IS COMING.

SOME RESIDENTS AND BUSINESS PLACES (INCLUDING KMAQ) HAD A COUPLE BRIEF POWER OUTAGES AROUND 2:30 THIS AFTERNOON. ENGINEERS WORKING AT THE MAQUOKETA MUNICIPAL UTILITY PLANT INADVERTENTLY PULLED A FUSE WHICH TRIPPED A CURCUIT. THE FIRST TIME, ONE-THIRD OF THE CITY WAS AFFECTED AND THE SECOND TIME, ONLY A HANDFUL OF CUSTOMERS EXPERIENCED THE BRIEF POWER OUTAGE.

MAQUOKETA MAYOR,AND KMAQ ENGINEER,TOM MESSERLI HAD A LIGHT HEART ATTACK EARLY LAST NIGHT AND WAS TAKEN FROM THE MAQUOKETA HOSPITAL TO CARDIOVASCULAR MEDICINE AT
GENESIS EAST IN DAVENPORT WHERE THEY DID A "BALLOON" PROCEDURE AROUND 10 LAST NIGHT, PUTTING IN TWO "STINTS" OF A NEARLY CLOGGED ARTERY. HE'S BACK HOME THIS AFTERNOON
AND FEELING GOOD. HE'S HAD SOME PROBLEMS IN THE PAST. PROBABLY THE "STRESS" OF
BEING MAYOR....OR KEEPING KMAQ ON-THE-AIR. GLAD HE'S DOING GOOD! NOT SURE YET IF HE WILL DO HIS SATURDAY MORNING SHIFT ON KMAQ-FM FROM 6:30 TO 9 A.M.

MARLA SCHWAGER, AGE 60, OF BELLEVUE AND FORMERLY OF MAQUOKETA, DIED LAST NIGHT AT MILL VALLEY CARE CENTER IN BELLEVUE. SERVICES PENDING AT LAHEY FUNERAL HOME
IN MAQUOKETA.

TAKE CARE WHEREVER YOU ARE!
