A SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING IS SCHEDULED FOR MONDAY EVENING AT 6 AT MAQUOKETA CITY HALL TO TALK ABOUT CHANGES IN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE FIVE
WARDS IN MAQUOKETA. AFTER THE RECENT CENSUS, CITIES ARE REQUIRED BY THE STATE TO MAKE SURE THERE ARE SIMILAR NUMBER OF RESIDENTS IN EACH WARD.
MAQUOKETA'S BIGGEST CHANGE WILL BE MOVING THE SUBDIVISION NEAR THE NEW
PUBLIC GOLF COURSE (BEHIND WALMART) FROM THE THIRD WARD TO THE FIFTH WARD.
MAQUOKETA POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING SOME GRAFFITTI INCIDENTS IN THE CITY.
SILVER AND GRAY PAINT WAS SPRAYED ON THE FLOOR OF THE 1ST WARD PARK
PAVILLION. ALSO, GRAFFITTI WAS FOUND ON THE SIDE OF A GARAGE AT 311 WEST QUARRY STREET.
MARJORIE SAGERS BOTT, AGE 76, OF CLINTON AND FORMERLY OF MAQUOKETA, DIED
FRIDAY AT HER HOME. SHE MARRIED JAMES SAGERS IN 1957 AND HE DIED
IN 1983. THEY OWNED AND OPERATED THE "JUG-O-MILK" STORE IN MAQUOKETA.
SHE IS SURVIVED BY TWO DAUGHTERS, JOAN IN OHIO AND JANE HEISTER IN
MAQUOKETA AND ALSO A SON JONATHAN IN MINNESOTA.
KMAQ (AM 1320) IS 53 YEARS OLD TOMORROW! I WAS 19 AND EXCITED ABOUT
MY FIRST DISC JOCKEY DAY! NO, I WON'T SAY IT "SEEMS LIKE ONLY YESTERDAY".
THE FM STATION CAME ALONG IN THE FALL OF 1967. NOTHING SPECIAL PLANNED
FOR TOMORROW. WE'LL HAVE ANOTHER CELEBRATION IN TWO YEARS.
THE FIRST MANAGER OF KMAQ, BOB BROWN IN FORT ATKINSON, WISCONSIN, CHECKS THIS DAILY REPORT REGULARLY. HE'S 90. THE FIRST OWNER, NATE GOETZ IN NAPLES, FLORIDA, IS 85 AND I GOT AN EMAIL FROM HIM THIS MORNING. HE LIVED IN MONROE, WISCONSIN IN 1958 AND CAME DOWN TO MAQUOKETA A COUPLE DAYS EACH WEEK. HE PLAYED 18 HOLES OF GOLF TWICE THIS WEEK, SO HE'S DOING FINE. EIGHT WERE ON THE STAFF THAT FIRST DAY. FOUR OF THE EIGHT ARE NO LONGER LIVING...STAN BARTON, RAY SHIELDS, DUANE WILLEY AND GITTE BOLLINGER. JANE BEAN, OUR BOOKKEEPER THEN, IS LIVING SOMEWHERE IN SOUTHERN IOWA.
THE FIFTIES...THOSE WHERE THE DAYS!
