RAIN DIDN'T COME, BUT RAIN POSSIBLE TONIGHT AND RAIN AND WARMER
TOMORROW.

LONGTIME MAQUOKETA PHARMACIST BOB OSTERHAUS HAS BEEN NAMED THE 2009 RECIPIENT OF THE IOWA PHARMACY ASSOCIATION APPRECIATION AWARD.
IT WAS PRESENTED TO HIM DURING THE IOWA PHARMACY ANNUAL BANQUET IN CEDAR RAPIDS. NICE GOING BOB.

WHAT TO DO WITH THE OLD CLOSED SWIMMING POOL WAS DISCUSSED AT LENGTH LAST NIGHT AT CITY COUNCIL MEETING. NO DECISION MADE.

BILL NORTHEY, IOWA AG SECRETARY, WAS IN MAQUOKETA TODAY FOR AN 11:30 QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION AT THE FARM BUREAU BUILDING. HE VISITS ALL 99 COUNTIES EACH YEAR. ON HAND TODAY...3 FARMERS...ST. REP. TOM SCHUELLER...I AND ANOTHER PRESS PERSON. AND ONE OR TWO OTHERS.
NOT A GOOD TURNOUT FOR A STATE OFFICIAL. BUT, ITS A BUSY TIME FOR FARMERS. NORTHEY REPORTED CROPS ARE DOING WELL IN IOWA.

DENNIS HASENBANK HIT A DER AND $2,500 DAMAGE TO HIS 2001 CADDIE.

THE CEDAR COUNTY FAIR STARTS TOMORROW AT TIPTON.

A COUPLE SEATS LEFT ON THE KMAQ BUS GOING TO CARDINAL GAME THURSDAY AFTERNOON AT MILWAUKEE.

HAVE A GOOD WEDNESDAY.
