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.

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.
