CLOUDY AND COOL TODAY....NO RAIN....YET.
SLOW NEWS DAYS.
DEATH: DONNA MYERS, 80, OF MAQUOKETA DIED YESTERDAY AT THE LOCAL HOSPITAL. SURVIVED BY HER HUSBAND, HAL, FORMER MAQUOKETA BUSINESSMAN AND FIVE CHILDREN. COMPLETE OBITUARY AT www.laheys.com
THE MAQUOKETA FIRE DEPARTMENT IS ASKING THE CITY TO OFFER A SECURITY PROGRAM FOR BUSINESSES.
IT'S CALLED THE KNOX BOX SYSTEM. IT'S A BOX WHICH HAS KEYS INSIDE WHICH CAN BE ACCESSED BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT QUICKLY IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY.
THE SYSTEM WOULD BE SET UP SO ONLY THE MAQUOKETA LAW CENTER COULD RELEASE THE BOX WITH KEYS INSIDE. THE BUSINESS WOULD PAY FOR THE BOX AND KEYS IF THEY WANT INTO THE SYSTEM.
THE IDEA MAY BE TALKED ABOUT AT THE NEXT REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING.
I WILL POST LEIGHTON HEPKER'S RECAP OF THE FOOTBALL GAME HERE SOMETIME SATURDAY MORNING. YOU WILL HAVE TO CLICK-ON THE
AUDIO BUTTON.
HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND.
