WCBU's On Deck has everything you need to know to start your day for Monday, November 2, 2020. Our top story is about how as you may have noticed, the Peoria Heights Sculpture Walk is adorned with several carved limestone pieces along Prospect Avenue and the Kellar Branch recreation trail. You'll hear about their origins. You'll also hear how 81-year-old Marion Cornelius knew Camp Ellis in Southern Fulton Conty as a boy. His father was in the Illinois National Guard that used the site until 1949. WCBU's Steve Tarter talked to Cornelius, the founder of the Easley Pioneer Museum earlier this month, surrounded by the memoris of the World War II camp that once occupied Ipava, some 50 miles from Peoria.
Daniel Musisi is WCBU's Assistant Audio Director. He's also the host of our daily newsmagazine All Things Peoria.
