WE STILL NEED RAIN AND MAY GET SOME TOMORROW.
TODAY, SUNNY AND NICE AGAIN, IN 80'S.
WEDNESDAY, WE ARE SUPPOSED TO HIT 90 FOR JUST ONE DAY.

FIRE IN MAQUOKETA SATURDAY AFTERNOON, AT THE JAMES JONES RESIDENCE AT 404 CIRCLE DRIVE. STARTED IN AN UPSTAIRS BEDROOM. TWO YOUNG CHILDREN AT HOME AT THE TIME AND WERE ABLE TO ESCAPE UNHARMED. MINOR DAMAGE TO SOME CURTAINS AND CARPETING IN THE BEDROOM. TOTAL DAMAGE ESTIMATED AT AROUND 5 T0 6 THOUSAND DOLLARS.

POLICE BLOTTER: SUNDAY MORNING, DAVE SCHEER TOLD POLICE SOMETIME SINCE LAST WEDNESDAY, SOMEONE TOOK A PRESSURE WASHER FROM HIS VEHICLE WHILE PARKED AT THE SONAC PARKING LOT ON EAST MAPLE STREET. SONAC IS WHERE SWISS VALLEY FARMS WAS A LONG TIME AGO.
SATURDAY MORNING, LORETTA GREEN FROM THE KEY MOTEL APARTMENTS TOLD POLICE SOME UNDISCLOSED ITEMS HAD BEEN TAKEN FROM HER UNLOCKED VEHICLE.
AND ALSO SATURDAY MORNING, ELSIE SPRINGER ON NORTH OTTO SAID SOMEONE
HAD REMOVED TWO FLAGS FROM HER FLAG POLE OUTSIDE HER HOME.

IN BUSINESS NEWS, THE RADIO SHACK STORE ON WEST PLATT STREET IS NOW
KNOWN AS THE ELECTRONICS PLUS STORE. BASICALLY, THE SAME ITEMS FOR SALE AS IN PAST.
LONGTIME BUSINESSMAN JOHN WAGENER REMAINS THE OWNER AND JUDY DAGUE CONTINUES AS MANAGER AT THE SAME LOCATION.
SO, IN AUGUST, THE SUPER 8 MOTEL NAME AND THE RADIO SHACK NAME
DISAPPEAR IN THE BUSINESS WORLD IN THE TIMBER CITY.

FURNISHINGS UNLIMITED IS CLOSING IN DOWNTOWN MAQUOKETA AND A CLOSING SALE
IS BEING HELD NOW. SO, BILL MOLER'S CLOTHING BUILDING (EMPTY FOR NEARLY 3 YEARS) SOON GETS AN OCCUPANT (DIAPER BUSINESS) AND RIGHT NEXT DOOR, THE FURNISHINGS STORE WILL BE EMPTY SOON. AND A CHANGE IS COMING UP AT THE DOWNTOWN BAKERY. MORE ON THAT LATER.

82 THE HIGH TODAY.

HAVE A GOOD WEEK!
