70 TOMORROW
BUT NO RAIN
THE FARM-TO-MARKET STATE FUNDING USED TO REPAIR AND PAVE MANY OF THE COUNTY'S ROADS WILL NOT BE PROVIDING FUNDING FOR AN INDEFINTE
PERIOD. YESTERDAY MORNING, THE JACKSON COUNTY SUPERVISORS SAID THEY RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE IOWA DOT SAYING WILL WILL FREEZE
THE FARM-TO-MARKET ROAD FUNDING. THE SUPERVISORS SAID THAT MEANS THEY WILL HAVE TO CUT THE JACKSON COUNTY FIVE-YEAR ROAD PLAN NEARLY IN HALF. SUPERVISOR STEVE FLYNN SAID THE ROAD FUNDING WENT FROM BAD TO A CRISIS.
TODAY, DAY 3 OF THE LITTLE BEAR PARK BUILD AND STILL A LONG WAY TO
GO. MORE VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED. NO SKILL NECESSARY.
ONE OF THE ORGANIZERS OF THIS EVENT, SARAH JOHNSTON, SAID VOLUNTEERS JUST NEED TO SHOP UP AND THEY WILL BE PUT TO
WORK. HERE ARE A COUPLE PHOTOS I TOOK THIS AFTERNOON.
IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE IT MIGHT BE HARD TO GET IT DONE BY 5 P.M. SUNDAY,
AS PLANNED.
KARIS DIETZ SAID HER PURSE WAS TAKEN FROM HER HOME AT 1001 W. SUMMIT STREET TUESDAY AFTERNOON.
AND KERMIT BODENHOFER ON 48TH STREET REPORTED YESTERDAY AFTERNOON THAT SOMEONE STOLE TWO TO THREE PILES OF SKIRTING FOR A MOBILE HOME.
A BIG CREW IS NOW WORKING ON THE 8-YEAR-OLD TRUCK STOP BUILDING
ON SOUTH MAIN. IT HAS BEEN GUTTED AND WILL BE MADE INTO
A KWIK STAR. THEY ARE ALSO DOING EXTENSIVE WORK ON THE OUTSIDE AND ON THE RAMPS AND PARKING AREA. THE OTHER STORE
ACROSS FROM McDONALDS IS REALLY TAKING SHAPE. THEY ARE
FINISHING UP CONCRETE WORK NOW AND THE OPENING WILL BE IN
ABOUT 3 WEEKS. THE TRUCK STOP LOCATION WILL OPEN LATER.
TWO...THAT'S RIGHT, TWO KWIK STARS TO JOIN TWO CASEY'S AND
FOUR OTHER LOCALLY OWNED GAS STATIONS IN TOWN.
A REMINDER....YOU CAN NOW LISTEN TO THE 7:45, 12:15 AND 5:05 LOCAL
NEWS ON YOUR COMPUTER, WHEREVER YOU LIVE. ALSO THE "JUST TALK" SHOW AT 9:05 A.M. DAILY AND THE FRIDAY SHOW IS ALL PHONE CALLS FROM LISTENERS. AND TOMOROW NIGHT'S MAQUOKETA-DEWITT FOOTBALL GAME WILL BE ON THE WEB TOO AT 7:30. JUST GO TO WWW.KMAQ.COM
AND TURN-ON THE LITTLE RADIO IN THE LOWER RIGHT HAND CORNER.
BUT NOTE...WE STILL NEED TO FINE-TUNE THIS SYSTEM WE ARE USING, SO THERE MAY A TIME OR TWO WHEN KMAQ IS NOT THERE AS IT SHOULD BE.
THANKS FOR CHECKING IN.
