7/10 OF AN INCH OF RAIN TODAY.....UNTIL IT STOPPED EARLY THIS AFTERNOON.
 THE 2 O'CLOCK HOMECOMING PARADE WAS RAIN-FREE AND THE SUN CAME
OUT LATER IN AFTERNOON AND NOW  WE  HAVE SUNNY SKIES AND IN THE
UPPER 60'S.   SHOULD BE A NICE NIGHT FOR THE GAME TONIGHT.

JACKSON COUNTY IS GOING TO HAVE AN ORDINANCE ON WIND TOWERS, SPELLING OUT THE RULES FOR HAVING ONE.     A PERMIT WILL BE REQUIRED TO BUILD ONE.

THE LOCAL HOSPITAL ANNOUNCED THIS WEEK THAT FLU CLINICS THIS
FALL WILL NOT BE HELD UNTIL NOVEMBER OF EARLY DECEMBER.
BUT, THE H1N1 VACCINE IS SCHEDULED TO ARRIVE AT THE HOSPITAL
IN OCTOBER.    THERE WILL BE NO CHARGE FOR THAT VACCINE.

A FORMER MAQUOKETA BANKER DIED WEDNESDAY.    DAVID STEPHENS, AGE 69.
HE WAS EMPLOYED A SHORT TIME AT THE THEN  HAWKEYE BANK IN MAQUOKETA.
HE DIED AT HIS HOME IN TIPTON FROM PANCREATRIC CANCER.   HE IS
SURVIVED BY HIS WIFE AND TWO DAUGHTERS.

MAXINE CRAWFORD, AGE 85, DIED SEPTEMBER 20TH AT SIOUX FALLS, S.D.
SHE IS SURVIVED IN MAQUOKETA BY SIBLINGS GLEN CRAWFORD, DAVID CRAWFORD, AND NAN TRACY.
