THE NEWEST, BRIGHTEST, BEST ROOF IN CLINTON COUNTY. THE WORK
WAS COMPLETED YESTERDAY BY CLAY ROMER AND HIS MEN OF
CONNELL SUPPLY COMPANY IN MAQUOKETA. THE OLD ROOF (BACK TO
1950 AND IT WAS A HOT TAR ONE AND NEEDED WORK EVERY FEW YEARS) HAS BEEN REPLACED BY A DURO-LAST RUBBER ROOF THAT WILL LAST
20 YEARS. ANY QUESTIONS, CALL CLAY AT 563-652-3765. THE FIRM
DATES BACK TO THE 40'S AND IS LOCATED AT THE NORTH EDGE OF

KMAQ SPORTS LEARNED TODAY THAT MAQUOKETA BOY'S BASKETBALL
COACH MATT UTHOFF HAS RESIGNED HIS COACHING JOB TO TAKE A
SIMILAR POSITION AT WEST DELAWARE HIGH SCHOOL IN MANCHESTER.
HE HAS BEEN THE HEAD COACH HERE FOR THE PAST THREE SEASONS.
HIS TEAM WAS 8 AND 14 THE FIRST YEAR....16 AND 6 IN YEAR TWO AND
13 AND 9 THIS PAST SEASON. BEFORE COMING TO MAQUOKETA, HE

THE JACKSON COUNTY SUPERVISORS MAY SCALE BACK THEIR PLANS FOR
NEW OFFICES IN THE FORMER PENROSE HOME ON WEST PLATT STREET
JUST WEST OF THE LAW CENTER. THE PURCHASED IT FOR $200,000
AND HAVE GUTTED IT. TO MEET RECOMMENDATIONS SUGGESTED BY
THE ENGINEERING FIRM, THE CURRENT PLANS COULD RESULT IN
AN $800,000 PROJECT. THAT'S WAY MORE THAN ANTICIPATED.
CURRENT PLANS CALL FOR AN ADDITION IN FRONT. ONE REASON THEY
COULD SCALE BACK IS THAT ONE OFFICE PLANNED FOR IT WILL NOT BE NEEDED AS IT WILL BE MOVING TO DAC,INC. IN MAQUOKETA.
I'LL HAVE MORE NEXT WEEK I'M SURE AS THE SUPERVISORS LOOK OVER
THE FIGURES THAT ARE COMING FROM ALL DIRECTIONS.
