BACK TO LOWER 80'S SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.    MAYBE SOME NEEDED
RAIN FRIDAY.

RAGBRAI STARTS SUNDAY....THE DES MOINES REGITER'S ONE-WEEK BIKE
RIDE ACROSS IOWA, ENDING AT THE MISSISSIPPI.    RIGHT NOT...NOT FOR SURE YET...BUT GOOD CHANCE THAT NEXT YEAR IT WILL END UP GOING THROUGH MAQUOKETA AND ENDING IN BELLEVUE, SABULA OR CLINTON.
THE LAST TIME IT CAME THROUGH MAQUOKETA WAS 10 YEARS AGO.

POLICE BLOTTER:   A MAQUOKETA WOMANA REPORTED SOMEONE ENTERED HER CAR WHILE IT WAS PARKED AT THE JACKSON COUNTY SENIOR CENTER.
ZOLA McMAHON SAID TWO SETS OF KEYS WERE TAKEN YESTERDAY.

SEVERAL SIGNS LIKE THIS HAVE BEEN PUT UP ON THE STREET IN FRONT
OF THE FAMILY DOLLAR DISTRIBUTION CENTER SOUTH OF MAQUOKETA,
THAT  HAS HUNDREDS OF SEMIS COMING AND GOING FROM IT 7 DAYS A WEEK.     THE WASTE AND GARBAGE ISSUE HAS BEEN  AROUND FOR YEARS.
THE CITY AND FAMILY DOLLAR PAID FOR THESE SIGNS AND HOPE THE
TRUCKERS WILL READ AND OBEY THEM.    YOU CAN CLICK-ON THE SIGN TO MAKE IT EASIER TO READ.
