Air Force Band thrills Dixon with Serenade in Blue
Nearly 1,030 fans packed the Dixon Theatre for the United States Air Force Band concert Serenade in Blue. The program included Glen Miller, John Williams tunes and Disney songs with vocal and dance numbers. USCC Dixon Branch coordinator Mel Murphy called it a unique, crowd-pleasing variety show and said two such concerts are planned per school year. Proceeds support Dixon High School music scholarships and theatre renovation, with past events raising about 800 dollars per fund.

Illinois crossing to gain automatic signals and gates
The Chicago and NorthWestern Railroad crossing near Nelson Illinois will get automatic flashing signals and gates. The 1.5 mile south crossing, with multiple tracks, is funded 90 percent by the Grade Crossing Protection Fund. Lee County covers five percent with the railroad paying the rest. Work is set to start this summer and finish by February or March 1990 with no traffic disruption. Myron Olson R-Dixon calls it a major safety step amid past accidents at the crossing.
