today's headlines:

  • even as the number of abortions in Illinois declines more out-of-state women are coming to Illinois to terminate a pregnancy,
  • US News and World Report rates Iowa as the best state to live in, Illinois came in 35th,
  • and  WIU's long-range plans include raising enrollment and expanding curriculum.

It should be cloudy today, with a chance of rain, and a high near 55. 

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.
