today's headlines:

  • the Moline school board hires a contractor to renovate Franklin School,
  • the Davenport School District prepares cost-cutting plans for review by state officials,
  • and the latest effort by the state to fix the veterans home in Quincy.

It should be partly sunny today, with a high near 33, and gusty Northwest winds.

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.
