MOSTLY CLOUDY TODAY...IN MID 70'S.
SOUNDS LIKE COULD BE A LITTLE WET FOR HOMECOMING DAY.
THE PARADE IS AT 2 FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND YOU CAN LISTEN TO IT
ON YOUR COMPUTER OR LAP TOP IF YOU LIVE OUTSIDE OUR COVERAGE AREA.... AND LISTEN TO THE GAME ON KMAQ TOO ON YOUR COMPUTER.
THE JACKSON COUNTY SENIOR CENTER WILL TAKE OVER THE MEALS ON WHEELS
PROGRAM IN MAQUOKETA, BEGINNING NOVEMBER 2ND. FOOD WILL BE
COOKED THERE. CURRENTLY, AND FOR ALL THE YEARS IN THE PAST, THE MEALS
HAVE BEEN PREPARED AT THE HOSPITAL. THE HOSPITAL ANNOUNCED IN JULY IT
WANTED TO STOP DOING IT TO SAVE MONEY. FOR MOST OF THE PAST YEARS,
IT WAS A 7-DAY A WEEK OPERATION. EARLIER THIS YEAR, IT WAS CUT DOWN TO
MONDAY-FRIDAY. UNDER THE NEW ARRANGEMENT, IT WILL STILL BE MONDAY-FRIDAY, BUT FROZEN MEALS WILL BE AVAILABLE TO PARTICIPANTS IF THEY DESIRE.
VOLUNTEERS WILL CONTINUE TO DELIVER THE MEALS. HERE'S A CHANGE.
THE SUGGESTED CONTRIBUTION WILL BE BETWEEN $3 AND $6.80 PER MEAL, DEPENDING ON INCOME.
ANNABELL HAAS, AGE 76, DIED AT HER HOME IN MT. CARROLL SUNDAY.
SURVIVORS INCLUDE TWO SISTERS IN MAQUOKETA, LULUBELL KOCH AND
EDNA MAE McDONALD.
A CORRECTION: RANDY SHADY'S NAME WILL NOT BE ON THE NOVEMBER BALLOT
FOR MAQUOKETA CITY COUNCIL BECAUSE HE DID NOT PROPERLY FILL OUT THE
NOMINATING PETITION. I INCORRECTLY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE HE FILED A FEW MINUTES LATE.
SO FAR, NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO THE EMPTY OLD FAREWAY BUILDING DOWNTOWN. NO WORD ON WHAT WILL IT BE USED FOR.
THANKS FOR THE VISIT AGAIN.
