FRIDAY DAILY REPORT

DENSE FOG  THIS MORNING CAUSED SEVERAL (NOT MAQUOKETA) SCHOOL DISTRICT TO START CLASSES TWO HOURS LATE.

A MAQUOKETA SQUAD CAR WAS DAMAGED WHEN POLICE OFFICER JT
THOMPSON HIT A DEER JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT THIS MORNING.
IT WAS VERY FOGGY AS HE WAS DRIVING SOUTH OF MAQUOKETA ON
HIGHWAY 61.   NO DAMAGE ESTIMATE WAS LISTED ON THE REPORT.

 IT WAS ANNOUNCED THIS WEEK THAT THE CANADIAN PACIFIC HOLIDAY TRAIN WILL AGAIN VISIT  BELLEVUE, IN DECEMBER.     THE TRAIN
DECORATED WITH CHRISTMAS LIGHTS STOPS AT COMMUNITIES AND COLLECTS FOOD FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE AREA.   THE DATE, FRIDAY,  DECEMBER 5TH, NEAR HORIZON LANES, AT 6:45 P.M.    PUT THE DATE AND TIME ON YOUR CALENDAR.   I HAVE SEEN IT IN THE PAST.   IT IS WORTH SEEING.    IT DOES NOT VISIT BELLEVUE EVERY YEAR.
