ANOTHER CLOUDY DAY AND COOL.
A MAQUOKETA WOMAN WAS ARRESTED ON A WARRANT THIS WEEK ON CHARGES OF SEXUAL ABUSE IN THE SECOND DEGREE. KAYLEIGH HEATH, 18, FACES THE CHARGES IN COURT, AND IS BEING HELD IN THE CLINTON COUNTY JAIL ON
$32,500 CASH BOND. A PUBLIC DEFENDER FROM MUSCATINE WILL BE NAMED AS HER ATTORNEY. MAQUOKETA POLICE SAID SHE IS ACCUSED OF HAVING SEXUAL INTERCOURSE WITH A CHILD UNDER 12 IN JUNE.
IN COURT NEWS: JEREMY MCDEVITT, 31, OF MAQUOKETA, WAS CHARGED WITH DOMESTIC ABUSE FOR CHOKING AND HITTING HIS GIRLFRIEND LAST NIGHT ABOUT 11 AT 219 S. MATTESON STREET IN MAQUOKETA.
THE MAQUOKETA HIGH SCHOOL ADVENT SING WILL CELEBRATE ITS 50TH ANNIVERSARY THIS YEAR WITH A PUBLIC GRAND OPENING PERFORMANCE AT THE NEW ONWARD FINE ARTS AUDITORIUM ON EAST PLATT STREET...ON DECEMBER 18TH. IN ADDITION TO THE CURRENT MAQUOKETA HIGH SCHOOL PERFORMERS, ALUMNI FROM 1955 UNTIL TODAY WILL BE ASKED TO JOIN IN. THE EVENT WAS STARTED IN 1955BY JANICE FARNUM AND SHE LED THE EVENT FOR 30 YEARS. PAMELA CRAWFORD NOW LEADS THE VOCAL MUSIC DEPARTMENT AND IS CELEBRATING HER 20TH YEAR WITH THE PROGRAM. A SOUP AND SANDWICH SUPPER WILL BE HELD ATTHE HIGH SCHOOL THE DAY OF THE CONCERT, FROM 4:30 UNTI 6:30 P.M. PRIOR TO THE CONCERT IN THE NEW 830-PLUS AUDITORIUM. DOORS WILL OPEN AT 6:45 FOR A MEMORY WALK AND THE CONCERT WILL BEGIN AAT 7:30 P.M. $5 FOR ADULTS, $3 FOR STUDENTS.
YES, I AGREE, IT WAS NOT VERY NICE OF THE BOSTON RED SOX TO DEFEAT THE CARDINALS 4 STRAIGHT GAMES. BUT, THEY WERE THE BEST TEAM.
ONE THOUGHT: FROM NOW ON, THERE WILL BE, OR MAYBE SHOULD BE,
AN ALL OUT EFFORT TO WIN THE ALL STAR GAME IN JULY. THE TEAM THAT WINS, GETS HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE FOR THE WORLD SERIES. IF THE NATIONAL LEAGUE HAD WON THE ALL STAR GAME THIS PAST JULY, THE WORLD SERIES WOULD HAVE STARTED IN ST. LOUIS INSTEAD OF BOSTON AND THE CARDINALS WOULD HAVE HAD THE BEST CHANCE, AS BOSTON DID, TO WIN EARLY AT HOME AND GET OFF TO A GOOD START. AND IF THE SERIES WOULD HAVE WENT THE FULL 7 GAMES, FOUR OF THE SEVEN WOULD HAVE BEEN PLAYED IN BOSTON, A BOSTON ADVANTAGE.
THAT ALL FOR NOW...THANKS FOR CHECKING IN.
