MOSTLY CLOUDY AND HIGH OF 19 TODAY.
AROUND 3 INCHES OF SNOW POSSIBLE TONIGHT AND ANOTHER INCH TOMORROW.

MAQUOKETA FIREMEN WERE CALLED TO A MOBILE HOME FIRE AT 2:45 THIS
AFTERNOON TO A MOBILE HOME AT 44 YALE, OWNED BY DOUG AND HEATHER
SAID. THE COUPLE HAD BEEN GONE A COUPLE HOURS AND WHEN THEY RETURNED,
THEY COULD SEE SMOKE AT THEIR DOOR. THEY DID NOT ENTER THE TRAILER AND CALLED FIREMEN WHO ENTERED THE HOME AND FOUND THE FIRE HAD CHOKED
ITSELF OUT. IT APPARENTLY STARTED IN A GARBAGE CAN NEAR THE SINK, AND THEN BURNED THROUGH A CABINET AND MELTED PLASTIC TUBING AND
THAT CAUSED WATER TO SRRAY OVER THE FIRE AND PUT IT OUT.
LOTS OF SMOKE HAD TO BE CLEARED AND BECAUSE OF SOME ELECTRICAL AND MINOR STRUCTURAL DAMAGE, DOUG AND HEATHER SAID WILL NOT BE ABLE TO OCCUPY THE MOBILE HOME UNTIL SOME REPAIRS ARE MADE. FIREMEN WERE AT THE SCENE FOR ABOUT AN HOUR.

THE MAN WHO LAST SEPTEMBER WAS ACCUSED OF ROBBING THE ANDREW BRANCH OF THE MAQUOKETA STATE BANK HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MAQUOKETA
FROM A MILWAUKEE JAIL TO FACE CHARGES. $45,000 WAS TAKEN AND HAS NOT
BEEN RECOVERED. THEY ARE STILL SEARCHING FOR ONE OR TWO OTHERS WHO
MAY HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN THE ROBBERY. NOW, THE MAN, JASON BROWN, AGE 31, IS BEING HELD IN JACKSON COUNTY DETENTION CENTER UNDER $150,000 BOND. A PRELIMINARY HEARING IS SET IN JACKSON COUNTY DECEMBER 23RD.

THE MAQUOKETA GIRLS LOST BY A LOT OF POINTS LAST NIGHT TO THE 3RD
RANKED DEWITT SABER GIRLS, AT DEWITT. THE CARDINALS ARE NOW 3 AND 4 FOR THE SEASON.

IN THE CARAWAY NEWSLETTER, IT SAYS THAT A GIRAFFE CAN CLEAN HIS EARS WITH A 21-INCH LONG TONGUE. I TALKED TO DALE THIS MORNING AND
HE SAYS TO REMIND YOU ALL THAT SOME OF THE THINGS IN HIS NEWSLETTER
ARE INTERNET ORIGIN...MAY NOT REALLY BE ACCURATE. MY GUESS IS THAT
MOST ARE THOUGH.

THANKS FOR THE VISIT .... GET OUT THE SNOW SHOVEL AGAIN.
