John Hines (radio broadcaster)

John Hines (Sept 1953 - ) is a Minnesota Hall of Fame radio broadcaster known for being a disc jockey and talk-show host. His career spanned over four decades, across numerous stations in Minneapolis–Saint Paul, including KSTP, WLOL, KEEY-FM and WCCO (AM). 
== Biography ==
Hines graduated from Roosevelt High School in 1971 before enrolling Brown College three days later. He began his radio career started in Normal, Illinois, lasting 13 months, three weeks, four days and 37 minutes before before quickly returning to Minneapolis to work at WWTC-AM in 1973. 
Hines' radio career began to skyrocket when he moved to 15 The Music Station in 1975 and teamed up with longtime Twin Cites broadcaster Charlie Bush. Hines's irreverent humor alongside Bush's newsman gaffing wowed audiences across the Minneapolis–Saint Paul area. 
When daytime television hosts Steve and Sharon Edelman left KSTP-TV in 1980, the young upstart was tapped by Hubbard Broadcasting as their replacement, hosting "Twin Cities Today" for one year. "I didn't like shaving and putting on a tie every day," Hines said. "So I thought lets go back to radio as quick as possible."Hines quickly returned to radio though, and in 1981 he joined Bob Berglund at WLOL-FM in a magical pairing that more than doubled the stations ratings in a year. Over the next 8 years, no one out hustled Hines and Berglund when it came to promotion. "Fact is, around the Twin Cities, these guys are seen nearly as often as they're heard. They've done broadcasts from the roof of the Metronome, a billboard near Interstate Hwys. 94 and 35W, the beat at Lake Nokomis and from a bus."
Hines stayed in morning drive at WLOL until its eventual sale to Minnesota Public Radio in 1990. He was quickly snatched up by K102, where he was reunited with Charlie Bush. The move ignited the country station, quickly capitpolting it to second in listenership and first in the 25-to-54 demo. Hines continued to work mornings there for for almost 17 years while helping to earn a Station of the Year award from the Country Music Association.
In 2006, Hines moved up the dial to sister-station KTLK-FM where he hosted a morning talk show in an effort to bolster the startup station's star power. 
Then, after almost two decades at Clear Channel, Hines joined News Radio 830 WCCO in 2010, where he first hosted an evening show. In 2011, Hines replaced John Williams in the midday time slot, where he worked daily broadcasting in 2018.
Hines was inducted into the Pavek Museum of Broadcasting in 2017.
Hines was active with many charities throughout his career, including once being buried alive for 48 hours to help raise funds for the Twin Cities Food Shelves. He has been married three times and has two sons.

John Joseph Murphy

John Joseph Murphy (August 1, 1872 – May 9, 1957) was an Irish planter and philanthropist, best known for establishing India's first commercially successful rubber plantation in Kerala. His contributions to the rubber industry and his philanthropic efforts earned him the nickname "The Rubber Man of Kerala" and the title "Princely Planter."
== Early Life ==
John Joseph Murphy was born in Ireland on August 1, 1872. He enrolled at Trinity College, Dublin, but left before completing his studies. Seeking new opportunities, he moved to Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) and later to the High Range areas of Kerala, India, in 1902. Recognizing the potential for rubber cultivation in the region, Murphy decided to establish a rubber plantation.
== Establishment of Rubber Plantations ==
In 1902, Murphy established the Murphy Estate, a 1,200-acre rubber plantation in Yendayar, near Mundakayam in Kerala. This plantation became India's first commercially successful rubber estate. Murphy employed workers from Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka, contributing significantly to the local economy and laying the foundation for Kerala's future as a major rubber-producing region.
== Philanthropy ==
In addition to his work in agriculture, Murphy was a noted philanthropist. He supported various social causes, including the establishment of seminaries, convents, orphanages, and schools. His charitable efforts were recognized by the Catholic Church, and he was awarded the Papal honor Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice by Pope Pius XI.
== Death and Legacy ==
John Joseph Murphy passed away on May 9, 1957, in Yendayar, Kerala. His contributions to the rubber industry and his philanthropic work have left a lasting impact on the region. Institutions such as the JJ Murphy Memorial High School in Yendayar were established in his honor and continue to serve the community.
The last of Murphy's bungalows has been restored and converted into the Nature Sanctuary Urumbi Hills Hotel.
== Impact on Kerala's Economy ==
Murphy's rubber plantation played a pivotal role in the economic development of Kerala. His success inspired the widespread adoption of rubber cultivation in the region, making Kerala one of India's leading rubber-producing states. According to a report by The Hindu, Kerala accounts for over 90% of India's natural rubber production, a legacy that can be traced back to Murphy's pioneering efforts.
In recognition of his contributions, the Rubber Board of India established the John Joseph Murphy Research Centre (JJMRC) to advance research and development in rubber cultivation.
== Memorials and Recognition ==
In 2013, a memorial was erected in Yendayar to honor Murphy's contributions to the rubber industry and his philanthropic work. The memorial, funded by local residents and rubber planters, stands as a testament to his enduring legacy. A report by Business Standard highlighted the event, noting that Murphy's work laid the foundation for Kerala's rubber industry, which now supports millions of livelihoods.
