WEDNESDAY DAILY

WHO IS HE?   ANSWER ON BOTTOM.



WHAT ARE THEY?
THESE ARE THE PIERS FOR THE NEW SAVANNA-SABULA BRIDGE, WHICH I DROVE NEXT TO YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.   THE BRIDGE OPENS IN LATE FALL NEXT YEAR.     AND...JUST AS YOU COME OUT OF SABULA TO DRIVE THE CAUSEWAY TO SAVANNA, THERE IS A SMALL BRIDGE.   IT WILL ALSO BE REPLACED (NEXT SUMMER) AND THEREFORE THERE WILL BE NO ROAD TO GET TO SAVANNA FOR 45 DAYS.    THIS WILL BE A HARDSHIP FOR QUITE A FEW WHO WORK IN ONE OF THE TOWNS, AND ALSO FOR SHOPPERS.   SOME WILL USE A BOAT AND WHO KNOWS, MAYBE THERE WILL BE A CAR
FERRY FOR THE 6 WEEKS?



YESTERDAY, THEY DUG OUT THE AREA BENEATH
THE SIDEWALK IN FRONT  OF THE BEAUTY SHOP NEXT TO MY THEATRE.   NOTICE WINDOWS THAT HAD BEEN FILLED IN WITH CEMENT BLOCKS MANY
YEARS AGO.   NOTICE THE DOORWAY WITH A 
FUEL TANK BLOCKING IT.    A HUNDRED YEARS AGO
OR SO, THERE WAS A BUSINESS IN THE BASEMENT
THROUGH THAT DOOR.    A SIDEWALK STAIRWAY
(VISABLE IN AN OLD PHOTO) WENT DOWN TO THE
BUSINESS.
ANOTHER PHOTO SHOWING THE SPACE UNDER
THE SIDEWALK.    LATE YESTERDAY THE DOORWAY WAS SEALED WITH CONCRETE AND THE OLD BUSINESS LOCATION "FRONT" WAS FILLED WITH SAND.
BUT, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE AN INDICATION OF IT
FROM THE INSIDE BASEMENT.



YESTERDAY, NANCY AND I VISITED THIS CENTER,
5 MILES SOUTH OF CAMANCHE ON HIGHWAY 67.
TURN AT THE BIG ROCK QUARRY.   IT WAS OUR
2ND VISIT.   IT IS IN ROCK PARK AND BOTH BELONG
TO CLINTON COUNTY CONSERVATION.
GOOD PLACE (FREE) TO TAKE THE KIDS OR GRANDKIDS.   INSIDE THE BUILDING IS A RESTAURANT AND GIFT SHOP.
THE SNAKE TUNNEL.
THE BUILDING HAS A LARGE  AQUARIUM WITH
SWIMMING FISH OF COURSE.   THE PARK HAS MANY CAMPING SITES, BOAT DOCKS, CABINS FOR RENT, AND A PONTOON BOAT THAT GIVES FREE RIDES (DONATIONS EXCEPTED) ON THURSDAY NIGHTS AT 7 (RESERVATIONS SUGGESTED) AND SOMETIMES ON WEEKENDS, WITH A NATURALIST
EXPLAINING THE MIGHTY MISSISSIPPI AS YOU
TRAVEL ALONG.










WHO ARE THEY?   IF YOU OR SOMEONE  YOU KNOW NEEDS A JOB OR TRAINING FOR A JOB,
THESE LADIES HAVE ANSWERS.   GO TO THE ROTARY WEB SITE OFF KMAQ'S HOME PAGE FOR MORE INFORMATION.  
WHO IS HE?   IN RED SHIRT AT THE TOP OF TODAY'S DAILY.      IN AUGUST, MAQUOKETA'S SUPERMAN!    MAQUOKETA SCHOOL DISTRICT SUPT. CHRIS HOOVER, STARTING HIS 3RD YEAR AT
THE HELM.
