Gluba Hospitalized

WVIK Staff

Davenport Mayor Bill Gluba is hospitalized after having a bad reaction over the weekend to some antibiotics he was given for an insect bite. As a precaution, he's receiving care at the University of Iowa Hospital in Iowa City. 

His doctor says he should take a week off to fully recuperate, and is expected to make a full recovery within ten days. 

 Mayor Pro Tem Barney Barnhill will chair tonight’s Committee of the Whole meeting and fill in as the mayor recovers.
 

A native of Detroit, Herb Trix began his radio career as a country-western disc jockey in Roswell, New Mexico (“KRSY, your superkicker in the Pecos Valley”), in 1978. After a stint at an oldies station in Topeka, Kansas (imagine getting paid to play “Louie Louie” and “Great Balls of Fire”), he wormed his way into news, first in Topeka, and then in Freeport Illinois.
