For the Week of August 24, 2008

Life & Times airs Thursdays at 7:00pm.
Saturdays at 6:30pm. and Sundays at 3:30pm.

This week... Meet a little girl from Eldridge, Iowa with a big imagination. Jayda Brunkan won a national third place award in the Reading Rainbow Young Writers & Illustrators Contest. You'll hear her winning story and find out how the award ceremony was just the thing the North Scott School District needed to get the school year off on a positive note.

Plus we'll give you a sneak preview of the upcoming tour of homes in the
Gold Coast/Hamburg District in Davenport. After taking a year off, the
tour is back in the neighborhood where many of the city's founding
fathers lived. Come with us as we tour this neighborhood which is being
returned to its previous elegance.

In our Creators segment, Ralph Iaccarino talks with Long Grove, Iowa
artist Don Heggen, who is very much in tune with nature as a subject
matter and is an advocate of preserving nature.

Finally, we will bring you an "encore" presentation of a story that aired earlier this year concerning an historic event hosted by the German American Heritage Center in Davenport. It's also on the Tour of Homes, so we thought it would be a good time to re-broadcast the story. But you'll have to watch to find out what it is about,
