WE NEVER DID FIND OUT THE NAME OF THE PERSON THAT WAS INJURED THIS WEEK IN A FARM MACHINERY ACCIDENT IN LAMOTTE AREA.
IT WAS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY AND NO LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORT
WAS NECESSARY AND BECAUSE OF PRIVACY CONCERNS, NO NAME
WAS RELEASED BY THE HOSPITAL OR FAMILY.

MAQUOKETA POLICE SGT. BRENDAN ZEIMET WAS HONORED THIS WEEK
IN DES MOINES DURING A CEREMONY.    MAQUOKETA POLICE CHIEF BRAD KORANDA NOMINATED ZEIMET FOR THE IOWA LAW ENFORCEMENT PURPLE HEART AWARD.    EARLIER THIS YEAR, ZEIMET RECEIVED INJURIES IN
A NIGHT SHOOTING AT THE NORTH EDGE OF MAQUOKETA, WHEN HE
STOPPED A CAR AND WAS ABOUT TO TALK THE DRIVER.     THE  DRIVER SHOT ZEIMET AND THEN COMMITTED SUICIDE.    BRENDAN IS AT LEFT

A NEW RESTAURANT OPENED TODAY AT CANTON.    CALLED "THE HOP AT

BUILDING ON THE CORNER ALONG THE HIGHWAY.     THE OWNER IF KATHLEEN ROBINSON AND SHE SAYS THEY WILL SERVE THE REGULAR ASSORTMENT OF SANDWICHES, HOME MADE PIZZA AND DINNERS.   THIS WEEKEND, RANDY SHOENHERR IS DOING RIBEYE GRILLED STEAKS.     HE RAN A POPULAR RESTAURANT ON THE CORNER FOR MANY YEARS.    SINCE THEN IT HAS BEEN COMPLETELY REMODELED INSIDE AND OUT.     THE GRAND OPENING SPECIAL WILL BE SERVED UNTIL 9 TONIGHT, AND 4  UNTIL 9 SATURDAY NIGHT AND ALSO SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.   BEER, WINE AND LIQUOR IS ALSO AVAILABLE.     THE PHONE NUMBER IS 563-652-7172.    ONE IMPORTANT NOTE:   THE CANTON BRIDGE IS CLOSED FOR REPAIRS, SO YOU HAVE TO EITHER WALK OVER THE BRIDGE OR
COME INTO CANTON THE BACK WAY, FROM MONMOUTH.   GOOD LUCK TO
KATHLEEN ON  HER NEW 50'S RESTAURANT.

IT IS A REALLY NEAT 50'S PLACE.    WE EACH HAD THE STEAK DINNER AND IT WAS DELICIOUS.
