WE FINIALLY GOT SOME RAIN....OVER AN INCH TODAY,STARTING AROUND 3 THIS

IN EXPECTED ON AND OFF THE REST OF THE WEEK.
AL MOHR, MANAGER OF BARRON MOTOR SUPPLY IN MAQUOKETA, HAD A HOLE-IN-ONE AT THE MAQUOKETA COUNTRY CLUB SUNDAY, ON THE PAR-3, 177 YEAR NINTH
HOLE. HE USED A 7-WOOD. IN THE FOURSOME WERE CHUCK WILSON, AL
DENLINGER AND DALE KLOFT. FOR AL, HIS FIRST EVER, ALTHOUGH A FEW YEARS AGO, HE HAD AN EVEN MORE RARE DOUBLE-EAGLE ON NUMBER 5 ON THE SAME
COURSE. CONGRATULATIONS TO AL.
THIS NOTE: IN AN EARLIER DAILY REPORT, I REPORTED THAT RANDY SHADY
WAS RUNNING FOR A MAQUOKETA COUNCIL SEAT. NOT SO. HE FILED, BUT
AROUND 4 MINUTES LATE. AND SO HE IS WAS NOT AN ELIGIBLE CANDIDATE.
THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TODAY DENIED A REQUEST FROM DAC, INC. TO ABATE AROUND $8,000 IN TAXES FOR LAST YEAR. THE SUPERVISORS
SAID IT WOULD SET A PRECEDENT FOR OTHER NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS.
AND THEY SAID PAPERWORK IS NOW IN PLACE SO DAC WILL NOT BE PAYING
PROPERTY TAXEX ON THE BUILDING IN THE FUTURE.'
AT THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING LAST NIGHT, THE COUNCIL CHANGED THEIR MINDS ON THE CAMPING PADS AT HORSESHOE POND PARK. BY A 3 TO 2 VOTE, THE MEMBERS APPROVED ELIMINATING EVERY OTHER CAMPING SITE IN THE
EXPANSION AREA TO PROVIDE MORE ROOM FOR AN RV TO PARK. BUT, SINCE
COUNCIL MEMBER MARGO SHOUSE WAS NOT AT MEETING, THE ISSUE COULD
BE BROUGHT UP AGAIN AS SHE HAS A RIGHT TO HAVE IT ON THE OCTOBER 5TH AGENDA AGAIN.
THANKS FOR THE VISIT.
