WEDNESDAY DAILY REPORT

SUNNY AND NICE....HIGH OF 80.
SAME FOR THE NEXT 3 DAYS FOR SURE, THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

IT IS HOMECOMING WEEK IN MAQUOKETA.    THE PHOTO BELOW
(CONTRIBUTED TO THE MAQUOKETA SENTINEL-PRESS) IS OF KING KYLE SCHIFFER AND QUEEN KAILIE HAZER.





A NEW PIECE OF EQUIPMENT IS BEING USED IN THE OPERATING ROOM
AT THE HOSPITAL HERE, THE FIRST HOSPITAL IN THE REGION TO USE THE
STRYKER TOWER.    IT PROVIDES SURGEONS WITH A CAMERA SETTING
THAT FILTERS OUT THE "GRAININESS" OF THE PICTURE THAT OCCASSIONALLY OCCURS WHEN USING CAUTHERIZATION.    IT ALSO HAS
A "ZOOM" FEATURE FOR A BETTER VIEW OF THE ANATOMY.    IT COST
OVER $100,000.    IT WILL BE USED ROUTINELY ON LAPAROSCOPIC GALL
BLADER, APPENDECTOMY, HERNIA AND KNEE SURGERIES AS WELL AS
EXPLATORY ABDOMINAL PROCEDURES.

PATTY HICKS OF MAQUOKETA HIT A DEER ON HIGHWAY 62 MONDAY
MORNING.    SHE WAS TAKEN TO THE MAQUOKETA HOSPITAL FOR
POSSIBLE INJURIES.   SHE WAS WEARING A SEAT BELT.    ABOUT $3,500
IN DAMAGE TO HER 2005 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. 

THE PHOTO ABOVE TAKEN BY BROOKE TAYLOR OF THE MAQUOKETA SENTINAL-PRESS SHOWS PEGGY McMURRAY MODELING AN APRON
SHE MADE.    SHE  MADE TWO AND THEY WILL BE THE  TWO PRIZES
FOR THE ANDREW LIONS CLUB CHILI COOK-OFF, PIE BAKE-OFF AND SILENT
AUCTION THIS SUNDAY AT THE ANDREW PARK PAVILION, OVER THE
NOON HOUR.    EVERYONE IS WELCOME.    FOR $7, YOU WILL ENJOY
HOME MADE CHILI AND PIE AND YOUR TICKET IS ONE VOTE TO YOUR
FAVORITE.


MY NUMBERS ARE DOWN HERE A LITTLE .....OF THOSE READING THIS
DAILY REPORT.    HOW ABOUT SOME HELP?

IF  EVERYONE READING THIS DAILY WOULD SEND JUST ONE  EMAIL TO A FRIEND OR FAMILY MEMBER AND TELL THEM ABOUT THIS DAILY REPORT, THE
NUMBERS COULD GO BACK UP.   EARLIER THIS WEEK, I HAD AN EMAIL
FROM A FORMER MAQUOKETA RESIDENT WHO DID NOT KNOW ABOUT
THE DAILY.     I TOLD HER....SHE BROUGHT IT UP AND SAID SHE WILL NOW
ALSO BE A "REGULAR".     THAT FRIEND OR NEIGHBOR OF YOURS CAN BE FROM HERE IN MAQUOKETA OR ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE COUNTRY.  
I THANK  YOU!

A BIT OF HUMOR TO END TODAY....
