TODAY'S (TUESDAY) DAILY REPORT IS BELOW THIS ONE!

PRESIDENT OBAMA MADE AN UNSCHEDULED STOP AT THE MAQUOKETA HIGH SCHOOL
THIS AFTERNOON AROUND 4 O'CLOCK.
HE LEFT HIGHWAY 61 (TRAVELING SOUTH) AND HIS MILLION-DOLLAR BUS WENT
DOWN PLATT STREET AND TURNED ON TO VERMONT AND UP TO THE HIGH SCHOOL.
SUPT. KIM HUCKSTADT SAID HE HAD ABOUT A 3-MINUTE NOTICE THAT OBAMA
WAS COMING TO THE HIGH SCHOOL. HUCKSTADT SAID THERE WERE TEACHERS AT THE HIGH SCHOOL TODAY FOR IN-SERVICE DAY, BUT THEY HAD LEFT. THE HIGH
SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL TEAM WAS IN THE GYM FOR A PRACTICE SESSION AND THE PRESIDENT SHOOK HANDS WITH ALL OF THEM AND THEY HAD THEIR PICTURE TAKEN WITH HIM AS A GROUP. HUCKSTADT SAID HE TALKED WITH OBAMA AND THAT
OBAMA BROUGHT UP EDUCATION TO HIM AND THEY TALKED ABOUT "CHILD LEFT
BEHIND" AND A COUPLE OTHER MATTERS. KMAQ'S LEIGHTON HEPKER WENT UP TO THE HIGH SCHOOL BUT THE LOCAL MEDIA WAS NOT PERMITTED TO GO INTO THE SCHOOL. OBAMA'S VISIT TO MAQUOKETA WAS ABOUT 20-25 MINUTES LONG. WE ALSO LEARNED THAT EARLIER TODAY, RETIRED MAQUOKETA VOCAL MUSIC TEACHER, PAM CRAWFORD, NOW
TEACHING PART TIME IN DUBUQUE COUNTY, SANG THE NATIONAL ANTHEM AT PEOSTA
TODAY PRIOR TO OBAMA SPEAKING AT THE SCHOOL THERE.
SO, SOME EXCITEMENT TODAY IN THE TIMBER CITY. THE VOLLEYBALL TEAM
WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER TODAY'S PRACTICE ON THE COURT AT MCHS.

AS FOR THE TRIAL AT THE COURTHOUSE, TOMORROW, ONE MORE WITNESS WILL
GO ON THE STAND AND THEN THE TRIAL IS EXPECTED TO RECESS FOR THE REST OF THE DAY AND FINAL ARGUMENTS WILL BE DONE THURSDAY MORNING AND THE CASE WILL
GO TO THE JURY. A VERDICT IS EXPECTED THURSDAY AFTERNOON OR SOONER.

NOW...HOPE YOU WILL GO TO TODAY'S REGULAR TUESDAY DAILY REPORT BELOW.
AND THANKS FOR CHECKING IN ONCE...OR FOR SOME OF YOU, A SECOND TIME.
