SNOW TONIGHT AND TOMORROW, A TOTAL OF 4 INCHES EXPECTED.
AND COLD THE ENTIRE WEEKEND.
THE OHNWARD BANK AND TRUST IN BALDWIN WAS ROBBED SHORTLY AFTER 9 THIS MORNING. A LONE GUNMAN TOOK MONEY AND HEADED SOUTH
ON 50TH AVENUE. HE HAS NOT BEEN APPREHENDED. HE WAS DESCRIBED AS 5' 10" TO 6-FOOT WITH A HEAVY BUILD AND POSSIBLE A FAKE BEARD. THE AMOUNT OF MONEY TAKEN WAS NOT DISCLOSED. NO ONE WAS INJURED.
YESTERDAY, I HAD A PHOTO OF DOWNTOWN WHEN THERE WAS ONE TRAFFIC LIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MAIN AND PLATT. BILL LUCKEY OF
WISCONSIN EMAILED AN INTERESTING SIDE NOTE. HE SAID THE STOP
LIGHT WAS A RED LIGHT AND WHEN LAW ENFORCEMENT WAS REQUIRED
FOR ANY GIVEN SCENARIO, THE RESIDENT NEEDING HELP WOULD CALL THE
TELEPHONE OPERATOR REQUESTING POLICE ASSISTANCE. THE OPERATOR
WOULD IN TURN TURN THE RED LIGHT ON AND THE POLICE ON FOOT PATROL
WOULD CALL-IN TO GET NECESSARY INFORMATION BEFORE RESPONDING.
AND MAX MOELLER IN ARIZONA SAID THE ONLY OTHER STOP AND GO
IN MAQUOKETA WAS AT MAIN AND PLEASANT AND ALSO IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE INTERSECTION. THAT IS....SAID MAX....UNTIL TWO FIREMEN
COLLIDED AND TOOK IT OUT AND CRUSHED HIS DAD'S CHRYSLER THAT WAS PARKED ON THE WEST SIDE OF MAIN STREET, NORTH OF PLEASANT.
