2/10 OF AN INCH OF RAIN LAST NIGHT AND SO TODAY IT IS LESS HUMID AND
COOLER....BUT WE ARE STILL IN THE MID TO UPPER 80'S TODAY.
SOME PLACES GOT LESS RAIN THEN WE AND OTHERS, LIKE EAST OF TOWN, GOT OVER AN INCH.
THE MAQUOKETA BOYS GAME STOPPED IN THE 5TH INNING LAST NIGHT
WHEN THE RAIN CAME AND MAQUOKETA TRAILED 4 TO 3. THERE THEN
WAS MORE THAN A 2-HOUR DELAY, MOSTLY BECAUSE OF LIGHTNING.
THE GAME STARTED UP AROUND 10:30 AND MAQUOKETA TIED THE
GAME. IN THE BOTTOM OF THE EXTRA 8TH INNING, (HIGH SCHOOL GAMES ARE 7 INNINGS) WESTERN DUBUQUE LOADED THE BASES AND THEN A HIT
DROVE IN THE WINNING ROOM. WESTERN DUBUQUE NOW GOES TO
THE STATE TOURNAMENT NEXT WEEK. A HEARTBREAKER LOSS FOR THE CARDINALS. BUT....A GREAT YEAR!!
NO LOCAL NEWS TODAY.
I'M TAKING OFF TO DO BROADCASTING LATER TODAY FROM THE CLINTON
COUNTY FAIR IN DEWITT.
LEIGHTON IS DOING "LIVE" BROADCASTS FROM THE JONES COUNTY FAIR
AT MONTICELLO.
JEFF REVIER STOPPED IN....VISITING FAMILY AND FRIENDS....SAYS HE
CONTINUES TO ENJOY THIS DAILY REPORT.
HE'S RETIRED AND PLAYING LOTS OF GOLF.
TWO CORRECTIONS ON THIS REPORT...THE NEW ECO TOURISM CENTER IS
A LITTLE SOUTH, NOT NORTH, OF CAMANCHE. I WENT BACK TODAY AND CHANGED IT ON THE STORY. VISIT THE PARK WHERE THE CENTER IS LOCATED SOON.....NICE PLACE.
