ANOTHER NICE DAY....AROUND 80!
MORE COMING!
SHOULD BE NICE WEATHER FOR HOMECOMING!

 A CORRECTION:
IN YESTERDAY'S REPORT, I HAD IT THAT PAULETTE CARLSON DIED.
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN PAULETTE CRAFTON.    SEE MORE
IN YESTERDAY'S STORY.

THE NEW KWIK STAR STORE IN MAQUOKETA HAD A BIG AD IN
THE NEWSPAPER TODAY ANNOUNCING THAT IT WOULD OPEN
FOR BUSINESS AT 5 A.M. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3RD.
THE RIBBON CUTTING CEREMONY WILL BE LATER, ON
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9TH AT 10 A.M.     THE AD INCLUDED 4 COUPONS.
TODAY A FENCE IS GOING  UP AROUND THE REAR AND SIDES OF PROPERTY AND TREES, SHRUBS AND FLOWERS ARE BEING PLANTED.
FAST BUILD AND FIRST CLASS WOULD BE THE WORDS TO BEST DESCRIBE THE BUILDING OF THE NEW MAQUOKETA BUSINESS.   I HAVE NOT HEARD WHO THE MANAGER IS AND HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL  WORK AT THE
24 HOUR FACILITY.   AND WORK CONTINUES FAST-FORWARD AT THEIR
OTHER (2ND STORE)  ACROSS FROM WAL MART, WHICH WILL OPEN
LATER THIS FALL.

THE WATER MAIN BREAK WAS FINISHED LATE LAST NIGHT IN DOWNTOWN
MAQUOKETA.    AN 18-INCH LONG 9 INCH PIPE SECTION WAS RUSTED AWAY AND NEW PIPE WELDED IN  PLACE.   MAIN STREET IS DIRTY TODAY.
HOPEFULLY, IT WILL BE CLEANED-UP BEFORE FRIDAY AFTERNOON'S
HOMECOMING PARADE.

FINISHING WORK CONTINUES TODAY AT THE NEW LITTLE BEAR PARK.

JAKE BICKFORD WAS INSTALLED THIS MORNING AS NEW PRESIDENT
OF THE MAQUOKETA OPTIMIST CLUB.    HE SERVED AS PRESIDENT
50 YEARS AGO, SHORTLY AFTER IT WAS CHARTERED.     HE HAS BEEN
A GOOD MEMBER ALL THESE YEARS.    THE CLUB MEETS EVERY
WEDNESDAY MORNING AT 7 FOR A BREAKFAST MEETING AT THE
EAGLES CLUB.    ONE OF ITS MAIN PROJECTS IS TO PUT UP NEARLY 500 FLAGS ACROSS TOWN FOR  5 HOLIDAYS EACH YEAR.    TED STRAIT
IS THE RETIRING PRESIDENT.    JAKE BICKFORD RETIRED 4 YEARS AGO AS OWNER OF BILL MOLER'S CLOTHING STORE.   MANY OF YOU HAD
HIS WIFE JUDY AS A TEACHER.   SHE ALSO IS RETIRED FROM TEACHING.
