RON EVANS, 87, UNDER CARE OF HOSPICE DIED SATURDAY AT PELLA,  IOWA,
WHERE HE AND DORIS HAVE LIVED FOR AROUND 15 YEARS.   HE WAS A LONGTIME
POLICEMAN HERE IN MAQUOKETA AND WAS CHIEF OF POLICE BEFORE HIS
RETIREMENT.    HE IS SURVIVED  BY DORIS AND DAUGHTER CHERYL AND FAMILY
ALSO AT PELLA.     CREMATION HAS TAKEN PLACE AND A MEMORIAL SERVICE
WILL BE HELD LATER.    GARDEN CHAPEL FUNERAL HOME IN PELLA IS SERVING
THE FAMILY.

HE WAS A GOOD FRIEND AND AS YOU WILL SEE IN THE ABOVE 1971 CALENDAR PHOTO, HE WAS ONE OF MY POLICEMEN WHEN I WAS MAYOR.    HE IS FIRST AT LEFT IN PHOTO.    AT LEAST 3 OTHERS IN THAT PHOTO ARE NO LONGER LIVING.     AND
NOTICE ALSO THAT THERE WERE 10 BUSINESS PLACES THAT SPONSORED THAT
CALENDAR AND 7 ARE NO LONGER HERE.     AND WITH RON'S PASSING,  I LOST A ANOTHER GOOD READER OF THIS "DAILY".

DON'T EAT TOO MUCH (DRINK LOTS OF WATER) ... WASH YOUR HANDS OFTEN...
AND PRAY THAT THIS WEEK WILL GET BETTER THAN LAST WEEK.
SORRY TO REPORT, WE HAVE THE FIRST JACKSON COUNTY RESIDENT THAT
TESTED POSITIVE FOR THE VIRUS.     I UNDERSTAND SHE IS FEELING GOOD AND NOW
WILL BE HOME FOR THAT NECESSARY 14 DAYS.    I MAY HAVE MORE LATER.   SHE
IS NOT FROM MAQUOKETA BUT DOES SOME WORK HERE.

WEDNESDAY DAILY

WHEN YOU COME INTO MAQUOKETA FROM DAVENPORT, JUST BEFORE YOU TAKE
THE FIRST S MAIN ST EXIT, UP ON THE HILL, YOU CAN SEE THE NEW HOSPITAL.
I BELIEVE IT WILL BE THE ONLY REAL GOOD AREA ON  HIGHWAY 61 WHERE
THE HOSPITAL WILL BE VISABLE TO THE PUBLIC.
ANYWAY, BELOW ARE 6 PHOTOS AROUND THE HOSPITAL.
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE WORKING TODAY....MUST HAVE BEEN 50 CONSTRUCTION
EMPLOYEE CARS AS YOU WILL SEE.

THIS MIGHT BE  THE MAIN ENTRANCE?

ANOTHER MAIN ENTRANCE?    FOR WHO?  NO ANSWER.

MORE EMPLOYEE CARS...THEY ARE PARKED IN FOUR
DIFFERENT AREAS.

AMBULANCE GARAGE AT LEFT....I ASSUME.

THE LOOK OF THE EAST SIDE.
IT IS GOING TO BE BIG.
BUT SMALLER THAN OUR PRESENT ONE.
TOTAL COST.....$36 MILLION IF I REMEMBER RIGHT.
$16 MILLION IN BANK FOR DOWN PAYMENT.
NET PROFIT WILL PAY OFF THE BOND.
NO TAX MONEY TO BUILD IT.
MAYBE, IT WILL BE DONE YET THIS YEAR.
EXCITING!

THIS IS NATIONAL AG WEEK.
90% OF ABOVE FARMS ARE FAMILY FARMS.

IT WAS A SUGGESTION BY THE POPE.     THAT AT NOON, TODAY, AROUND THE WORLD, CHRISTIANS WOULD SAY THE LORD'S PRAYER.    AT 12 NOON, ABOVE, PASTOR NEAL HARRISON AND FATHER AUSTIN WILKER PRAY THE PRAYER ON KMAQ.

MANY YEARS AGO,  PEOPLE ALSO HAD THE SEARS CATALOG.

TAKE CARE...
WASH YOUR HANDS...
PRAY THAT TOMORROW THE CRISIS
WILL BE BETTER, NOT WORSE.
