SUNNY AND WARM TODAY, 76.
TOMORROW, UP TO 82.
WEDNESDAY, 76 AGAIN FOR A HIGH.
THEN RAIN AND COOLER FOR REST OF THE WEEK.

THE WEATHER WAS GREAT OVER THE WEEKEND.  
CAMPING AND CYCLING HAS STARTED AS YOU WILL SEE IN
A COUPLE PICTURES I TOOK SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT THE
SOUTH EDGE OF MAQUOKETA.

GERALD EDWARDS OF MAQUOKETA WHO WAS SHOT LAST
THURSDAY NIGHT IS STILL IN UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL IN IOWA CITY.
HE HAS HAD SURGERY.     OFFICIALS PLAN TO TALK WITH HIM TOMORROW IN THE  HOSPITAL.     CHIEF BRAD KORANDA SAID HE WAS SHOT WITH HIS OWN GUN.   KORANDA SAID THEY HAVE TALKED WITH QUITE A FEW PEOPLE
AND ARE STILL SEEKING INFORMATION FROM THE PUBLIC THAT MAY KNOW SOMETHING OF VALUE TO THE INVESTIGATION.   NO ARREST HAS BEEN MADE.

SOUTH SABULA LAKE HAS OPENED BUT SPRUCE CREEK PARK
AT BELLEVUE STILL REMAINS CLOSED BECAUSE OF HIGH WATER.

MARDONNA RICHEAL, AGE 80, DIED TODAY AT HER HOME IN DEWITT FOLLOWING A SHORT TIME WITH CANCER.    SHE WAS BORN IN MAQUOKETA IN 1950 TO DR. AND MRS. MARVIN DALCHOW.    HER COMPLETE OBITUARY
CAN BE READ AT SCHULTZ FUNERAL HOME.COM.

IN BOYS GOLF AT DYERSVILLE FRIDAY NIGHT, WITH 5 TEAMS IN IT,
MAQUOKETA CAME IN 3RD.    THE MEDALIST FOR THE DAY WAS
TY THEDE WITH A 36.

LOTS OF MONEY TO BE SPENT IN MAQUOKETA THIS WEEK.....PROFIT
FROM OVER 50 GARAGE SALES LAST WEEKEND.    GOOD WEATHER
CONTRIBUTED TO A VERY SUCCESSFUL SALE WEEKEND.


I TALKED TO A FARMER TODAY WHO SAID THE GROUND IS STILL SOMEWHAT
WET AND THAT FARMERS DO NOT HAVE TO BE IN  A HURRY TO
GET THE CROP IN.      WITH THE BIG MODERN MACHINERY, THERE IS
PLENTY OF TIME TO GET THE BEANS AND CORN PLANTED AND WITHOUT
PACKING THE SOIL.

HAVE A GOOD WEEK.
