PARTLY SUNNY AND COOL TODAY...HIGH OF 72.
TOMORROW, IN THE LOW 80'S.

KAREN TILTON IS THE CLOWN IN THE PHOTO YESTERDAY. TAKEN AT
THE VILLAGES IN FLORIDA WHERE KAREN AND DEAN HAVE LIVED SINCE MOVING THERE FROM MAQUOKETA 5 YEARS AGO. KAREN TOOK A CLASS IN "CLOWNING" AND NOW DOES IT AT SCHOOLS, ETC. AS A PUBLIC SERVICE. SHE REALLY DIDN'T NEED THE CLASS.....GOT LOTS OF TRAINING OVER THE YEARS FROM HER CLOWN HUSBAND.
HA HA JUST KIDDING. JENNIFER CONNALLY OF MAQUOKETA WAS THE FIRST TO IDENTIFY KAREN AND GETS THE OHNWARD TICKET.

LONGTIME MAQUOKTA SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER BILL SCHWENKER WAS ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD MONDAY NIGHT. HE HAS HELD THAT POSITION
BEFORE. AND MONDAY NIGHT, JEFF TAMPIR WAS HIRED AS 7TH AND 8TH
GRADE WRESTLING COACH. WILL BE NICE TO SEE MR. T BACK AT THE MATS.
HE WAS VARSITY COACH FOR A LONG TIME UNTIL RETIRING ABOUT 5 YEARS
AGO. HE (WITH A COUPLE OTHER RETIRED TEACHERS) HAS BEEN DOING
HOUSEHOLD PAINTING IN RETIREMENT. I'M SURE HE WILL KEEP DOING THAT
TOO.

COMING UP, VFW POPPY WEEKEND. FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, MAQUOKETA VFW MEMBERS AND AUXILIARY MEMBERS WILL BE SELLING POPPIES THIS FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY AT FAREWAY AND THEISEN'S.

THANKS FOR THE VISIT.
