FORMER MCHS GRAD DON DAVIS, JR. OF ELDRIDGE THINKS THAT AN
MCHS SPORTS HALL OF FAME SHOULD BE ESTBLISHED.
I THINK IT IS A GOOD IDEA.

LISTED SOME OF THE CARDINAL ATHLETES THAT COULD BE INDUCTED....

BASKETBALL TONIGHT....THE BOYS HOSTING WESTERN DUBUQUE AND
THE GIRLS UP THERE. GO CARDINALS.

HE'S 65. HE'S A ST. LOUIS CARDINAL FAN AND SAYS HE'LL MISS ALBERT
AND TONY. AND OF COURSE HE'S HAPPY THE HAWKS ARE IN ANOTHER
BOWL GAME.

THANKS FOR CHECKING IN.

TEXAS GOVERNOR RICK PERRY, CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT, SPENT ONE
HOUR IN MAQUOKETA TODAY. THERE WERE TWO BUSES, ONE FOR THE PRESS AND THE OTHER FOR GOV PERRY AND HIS FRIEND, GOV BOBBY JINDAL OF
LOUISIANA, CAMPAIGNING FOR PERRY IN EASTERN IOWA TODAY. THE

NEXT TWO PHOTOS, OF PERRY'S BUS BEHIND THE BUS THAT ARRIVED WITH THE
PRESS CORPS TEN MINUTES EARLIER. THE BOTTOM PHOTO IS GOV PERRY
TALKING TO THE GROUP.
I DID A 'LIVE" REPORT OVER KMAQ-FM WITH MY CELL PHONE AND SAID TO GOV PERRY....'WELCOME TO MAQUOKETA", AND HE RESPONDED THAT HE WAS GLAD TO BE HERE.
SO, IF HE IS ELECTED PRESIDENT, WE CAN ALWAYS SAY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES WAS INTERVIEWED ON KMAQ. THERE WERE 6 OR 7 MAQUOKETA COLLEGE STUDENTS ON-BREAK, PROTESTING WITH 3 SIGNS
....ONE SAYING TO CONTINUE CHURCH/RELIGION SEPARATION... AND
ANOTHER READ...."NOT AGAIN" AND THE YOUNG MAN SAID THAT MENT
NOT ANOTHER TEXAN FOR PRESIDENT.
A LITTLE EXCITEMENT IN DOWNTOWN MAQUOKETA TODAY.
AFTER JANUARY 3RD, THE HAWKEYE STATE GOES BACK TO NORMAL.
THE POLLS SAY THAT IF THE CAUCUS WAS TODAY, CONG RON PAUL WOULD
BE THE WINNER.
OH YES....I SAW STATE SENATOR TOD BOWMAN (D) OF MAQUOKETA AT THE
EVENT THIS MORNING.
