THE RECORD FOR TODAY WAS 65 IN 1982.   WE STARTED THE DAY
WITH HEAVY FOG, HAD A MOSTLY CLOUDY DAY AND TIED THE RECORD.
TOMORROW, SUNNY AND 55 AND THE REST OF THE WEEK IN THE 40'S.

A CLINTON MAN FACES SIX CHARGES, INCLUDING BITING JACKSON
COUNTY DEPUTY SHERIFF BRANSON BECK IN THE LOWER RIGHT
LEG.    THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AT AROUND 8 P.M. LAST NIGHT
AT 1519 HIGHWAY 67 NEAR SABULA, WHEN  BECK AND SABULA POLICE CHIEF JOSH KILBURG TRIED TO ARREST THE 26-YEAR OLD CLINTON MAN ON A COUPLE COUNTS OF BURGLARY IN THE SECOND DEGREE.   BECK
USED A TASER ON THE MAN AND MADE THE ARREST.

IN LOCAL SPORTS NEWS THE PAST WEEK, THE MAQUOKETA GIRL'S BASKETBALL TEAM IS OFF TO A BAD START,  LOOSING THEIR FIRST 4 GAMES.
THE BOYS BEAT MARION IN THEIR INITIAL GAME OF THE SEASON, BY ONE
POINT AND THE WRESTLERS WERE IN THE CASCADE TOURNAMENT
SATURDAY AND WON 5 AND LOST NONE.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING TONIGHT.

THE KMAQ TRAVEL XMAS BRANSON TRIP LAST WEEK WENT WELL....GOOD SHOWS, GOOD FOOD AND GOOD WEATHER.     AND NO "DAILY REPORTS".
BRANSON WAS BUSY AND STILL CLEANING  UP AFTER THE SUMMER
TORNADO.   BUT, I NOTICED 3 THEATRES FOR SALE AND A BIG OUTLET
MALL HAS CLOSED.    THERE TOO, BUSINESS COULD BE BETTER.

WE  ATTENDED THE BROOKE BYAM COUNTRY CONCERT SATURDAY NIGHT
AT THE OHNWARD FINE ARTS CENTER.     A VERY GOOD SHOW BY
BROOK AND FRIEND DUSTIN WEISE,  BOTH  NOW NASHVILLE ENTERTAINERS.    NICE SINGING  ALSO BY BROOKE'S GRANDPA, RED HENTON OF MAQUOKETA (AGE 93) AND HER  MOTHER JUDY FROM CLINTON.   GOOD TURNOUT....AROUND 500.
THEY  GAVE THE SHOW A "STANDING OVATION" AT THE END.    THE EVENT
WAS SPONSORED BY THE FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH IN
MAQUOKETA AND FINANCE COMMITTEE MEMBER BARB MAYBERRY SAID
THEY WILL PUT THE PROFITS TO GOOD USE IN THE CHURCH.

HAVE A GOOD WEEK.
