New Moline Parks Director

A new director of parks and recreation will take over early next month in Moline. Today the park board approved the hiring of Bernita Reese.

Most recently, Reese served as district manager with the Parks and Recreation Division in DeKalb County Georgia. And she has experience in recreation, athletics, management of facilities, personnel, budgeting, and project management. 
She earned a master's degree in Sport Management from Western Illinois University. 
Reese will officially begin her new job in Moline on January 12th. 
She replaces Laura Duran who resigned last summer to take a job in North Carolina. 
 

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.
