7 BELOW LAST NIGHT.

TWO SNOWMOBILES AND DRIVERS WENT UNDER THE MAQUOKETA RIVER
ICE ABOUT A MILE NORTH OF PRESTON LAST NIGHT.
ONE MAN WAS RESCUED AND THE OTHER IS MISSING. THE DRIVER RESCUED
IS FROM SABULA AND I ASSUME THE MISSING OPERATOR IS ALSO FROM THERE.
I WILL HAVE MORE DETAILS ON TOMORROW'S DAILY.

NEIL AND BRITTANY SCHROEDER OF LONGMONT, COLORADO ARE PARENTS
OF BOY. PATERNAL GRANDPARENTS ARE JOHN AND DELLA SCHROEDER OF
MAQUOKETA.

THE CLIMATOLOGY BUREAU CHIEF FOR THE STATE OF IOWA, HARRY HILLAKER,
WILL BE AT THE KMAQ FARM AND HOME SHOW ON THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10TH.
HE WILL BE THE GUEST SPEAKER AT NOON. HOW ABOUT THAT! THE IOWA HEAD WEATHERMAN COMING TO MAQUOKETA. EARLIER THIS WEEK, WE ANNOUNCED
ALSO THAT THE IOWA SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE, BILL NORTHEY, WILL
BE AT THE SHOW ON WEDNESDAY, TO SPEAK AT NOON.

HAVE A GOOD WEEK.

CLICK-ON THIS PHOTO TO
ENLARGE IT. THIS IS THE OLD FAREWAY STORE BUILDING, UNDERGOING REMODELING TO MAKE IT READY FOR THE NEW
GOODWILL STORE. I SUPPOSE TO THE LEFT IS A NEW LOADING DOCK. AND WHAT THEY ARE DOING CLEAR ACROSS THE FRONT IS A MYSTERY. THEY ALSO HAVE PUT UP SOME WALLS IN THE INSIDE OF THE BUILDING, WHICH IS GOING TO
OPEN THIS SPRING. THEY ARE
ALREADY ADVERTISING FOR PART TIME EMPLOYEES.
ALSO IN BUSINESS NEWS, I JUST
READ A NOTE IN THE WINDOW OF THE EMPTY STORE BUILDING ON THE CORNER OF MAIN AND PLATT STREET, THAT SAYS A NEW BUSINESS IS COMING SOON. AND IT IS NOT THE BOMBFIRE PIZZA BUSINESS THAT WAS ANNOUNCED FOR THAT LOCATION LAST YEAR.
OVER CHRISTMAS, THE BUILDING WAS THE SITE OF A JEWELRY BUSINESS, OPEN
JUST FOR CHRISTMAS SHOPPERS. I'LL TAKE ANOTHER PHOTO OF GOODWILL
BUILDING LATER AND I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHAT I HEAR ABOUT THE NEW BUSINESS
ON THE CORNER OF MAIN AND PLATT.
SO, APPARENTLY NO BOMBFIRE PIZZA FOR MAQUOKETA. INCIDENTALLY, LAST NIGHT WHEN COMING BACK FROM SYCAMORE THROUGH SABULA, WE WENT
PAST THE BOMBFIRE PIZZA THERE AND IT WAS FULL OF PEOPLE, AT NEARLY
9 O'CLOCK. A LITTLE EARLIER, DRIVING THROUGH SAVANNA, WE WERE INTERESTED IN SEEING THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE YET WITH THE MANNY'S PIZZA BUILDING THAT HAD A BAD FIRE LATE LAST YEAR. WORD IS, MANNY'S WILL REBUILD AND MEANWHILE, THEY ARE LOCATED IN DOWNTOWN SAVANNA IN THE FORMER HAPPY JOE'S LOCATION.... AND THEY ALSO HAS A BIG CROWD WHEN
WE WENT PAST. EVERYBODY LOVES PIZZA!
