A NIGHT OF HOMECOMING TEEPEEING WAS BROUGHT TO AN ABRUPT
END LAST NIGHT AROUND 10:30 WHEN STEVE MARTIN CALLED IN TO
REPORT 2 OR 3 STUDENTS THAT HAD BEEING TEEPEEING EVERYTHING BY
THE MIDDLE SCHOOL. WHEN OFFICERS ARRIVED, THE STUDENTS WERE LOCATED AND THE 3 KIDS ALONG WITH 7 OTHER JUVENILES WERE TAKEN BACK TO THE MIDDLE SCHOOL TO CLEAN UP THE TOILET PAPER. SINCE THERE WAS NO DAMAGE DONE, NO CHARGES WERE FILED BUT DETAILS
OF THE INCIDENT AND NAMES HAVE BEEN HANDED OVER TO SCHOOL
OFFICIALS. AND THE JUVENILES PARENTS WERE ALSO NOTIFIED.
MANY WINDOWS HAVE BEEN PAINTED BY STUDENTS FOR HOMECOMING.
IN MOST CASES, UNLIKE YEARS AGO, THE PAINTING WAS DONE AT THE
SCHOOL AND THEN PUT IN PLACE WITH TACKS AND TAPE AT THE
STORE. NO CLEAN-UP TO DO MONDAY.
FOR YEARS, THE BUILDING BELOW WAS CALLED "THE DRUG STORE ON THE CORNER" (CARSON PHARMACY) AND LATER IT WAS A PIZZA PLACE AND THEN A FEW YEARS AGO, IT BECAME A MEXICAN RESTAURANT. NOW,
"LA CASA DE PANCHO"
HAS A NEW LOOK. IT HAS RECEIVED NEW WINDOWS, A NEW PAINT JOB (NEW COLOR) AND OTHER IMPROVEMENTS TO MAKE IT ONE OF THE
BEST LOOKING BUILDINGS DOWNTOWN. A BIG, DEFINITE IMPROVEMENT!
IT IS THE START OF MANY NEW AND EXCITING THINGS PLANNED TO IMPROVE DOWNTOWN MAQUOKETA.
COME ON HOME FOR HOMECOMING FUN!
