BRANDON "BODIE" BODENHOFER WAS TAKEN TO THE JONES COUNTY
JAIL AFTER BEING CAPTURED SATURDAY NIGHT.   THE JACKSON COUNTY JAIL IS FULL.   BODIE WAS APPREHENDED SATURDAY NIGHT AFTER A HIGH SPEED CHASE AT THE SOUTH END OF TOWN.   HE HAD STOLEN A CAR FROM ARLEN FLAGEL AND THE LAW CENTER RECEIVED A REPORT OF THE VEHICLE SEEN ON SOUTH MAIN.      AFTER TWO MILES OF CHASING HIM, THE STOLEN CAR DRIVEN BY BODIE WENT INTO THE DITCH AND AGAINST A BARB
WIRE.     HE WAS TAZED AND SHACKLED AND TAKEN TO JAIL HERE IN
MAQUOKETA AND TRANSFERRED LATER TO ANAMOSA.     THE JUDGE SET NO BAIL.

YEARS AGO, A FARMER WAS HAPPY  IF HIS CORN WAS KNEE-HIGH BY  THE 4TH OF JULY.    NANCY TOOK THIS PHOTO OF ME JULY 4TH IN THE CORN FIELD BEHIND HER HOUSE.     AS YOU CAN SEE, NOW DAYS, CORN IS MORE THAN TWICE KNEE-HIGH BY THE 4TH.    THE CORN IS DOING WELL HERE
IN IOWA.

ANOTHER OLD PHOTO FROM DOWNTOWN....THIS ONE OF  "THE COTTAGE"
WAS TAKEN IN 1999 WHEN IT OPENED AND WAS  OWNED BY  MY WIFE
NANCY AND KAREN THOMAS, BOTH DECEASED.    THE COFFEE-FOOD-GIFT SHOP WAS  POPULAR FOR SEVERAL YEARS BUT CLOSED BECAUSE IT
WAS TOO SMALL WITH NOT ENOUGH SEATING.

THE NUMBER 1 COUNTRY SONG THIS WEEK IS "MY EYES" BY BLAKE SHELTON WHO NOT ONLY IS A LONGTIME POPULAR COUNTRY SINGER BUT ALSO IS ONE OF THE STARS OF "THE VOICE" TV SHOW.    AND BELOW, HIS WIFE MARANDA LAMBERT, WHO WILL BE APPEARING ON THURSDAY NIGHT AT THE GREAT JONES COUNTY FAIR IN  MONTICELLO.    SHE IS BEING PAID $500,000 FOR HER SHOW THAT NIGHT LATER THIS MONTH.    HER LAST #1 HIT WAS
"AUTOMATIC" A COUPLE WEEKS AGO AND NOW SHE HAS ANOTHER TOP SONG, "SUMTHIN' BAD".   THEY EXPECT 30,000 FAIRGOERS FOR HER FAIR APPEARANCE AT JONES COUNTY FAIR, ONE OF THE TOP COUNTY FAIRS IN IOWA.    THE ENTERTAINER BUDGET FOR IT IS $2 MILLION DOLLARS.     JACKSON COUNTY'S IS $100,000.
THE FIRST COUNTY FAIR OF THE SUMMER IS THIS WEEK (WED-SUN) AT TIPTON....THE CEDAR COUNTY FAIR.    FOR THE 30TH YEAR, WE WILL BE
