MOSTLY CLOUDY TODAY, BUT STILL AROUND 80.
MORE CLOUDY CONDITIONS FOR THE WEEKEND.

THE MAQUOKETA VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED TO
 A HAY FIRE YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AT THE RANDAL SHOENHAUER
PLACE ON 40TH AVENUE, RURAL BALDWIN.    A SPARK FROM A SKID-LOADER MAY HAVE STARTED IT.   NO ONE INJURED.

SIGNS IN DOWNTOWN MAQUOKETA THAT HANG OVER THE SIDEWALK
MAY BECOME LEGAL AGAIN.      THEY WERE MADE ILLEGAL YEARS AGO.
SOME NEW SIGNS...EVENTUALLY DIFFERENT LIGHT POLES AND EITHER
NO OR SMALLER TREES COULD GIVE A WHOLE NEW LOOK DOWNTOWN.
THE SIGNS WERE DISCUSSED AT THIS WEEK'S CITY COUNCIL MEETING.

JOHN BECKETT, 61, OF BELLEVUE AND CRAIG ORRIS, 36, OF MAQUOKETA,
WERE IN A TWO-CAR ACCIDENT WEDNEDAY MORNING  ON QUARRY
STREET.     ORRIS FAILED TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN AT DEARBORN AND
QUARRY AND AND STRUCK THE BECKETT VEHICLE, CAUSING MINOR
DAMAGE TO BOTH  CARS.   NO INJURIES AND CRAIG ORRIS WAS CITED
FOR FAILURE TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN.
