STRONG WINDS AND A SHORT PERIOD OF HEAVY RAIN IS ALL WE GOT...
TODAY, SUNNY AND STILL WINDY...48
TOMORROW, MORE OF SAME...

SUNNY...MID 50'S...NO WIND.
AT SUPERVISOR'S MEETING TUESDAY, THEY ACCEPTED RESIGNATION
OF LYLE ROWAN OF RURAL MAQUOKETA....RETIRING AFTER 38 YEARS
OF SERVICE WITH THE COUNTY'S ROAD DEPARTMENT.
AND ZONING AMINISTRATOR BEN KOBER REPORTED TO THE SUPERVISORS
THAT HE HAS ISSUED 24 PERMITS FOR NEW HOMES THIS YEAR IN
JACKSON COUNTY. I THINK THE CITY OF MAQUOKETA HAS HAD 2, MAYBE
3. THERE ARE A LOT OF NEW HOMES GOING UP IN THE RURAL AREA.
A NEW BUSINESS IS COMING (OUT OF WISCONSIN) TO DOWNTOWN
MAQUOKETA. CAN'T GIVE DETAILS YET. THEY HAVE STARTED MOVING
IN THOUGH.
MAQUOKETA'S DOWNTOWN CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS WILL BE GOING
UP SOON.
MAQUOKETA STILL HAS HAD NO SNOW. WE CAN WAIT.
