Today's headlines:
- say good-bye to the Quad City Mallards,
- an officer involved shooting in Davenport,
- and some smaller Illinois cities are hoping to win home rule.
Sunny and breezy today, with a high near 54.

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.
