WCBU's On Deck has everything you need to know to start your day for Monday, November 9, 2020. Our top story is about how in defiance of Illinois Department of Public Health guidlines, the Illinois High School Association has decided to let the basketball seasons begin as planned later this month. You'll hear from Peoria County Regional Superintendent Beth Crider, who says that puts school districts in a difficult position. You'll also hear from author and illustrator David Alan Badger, who says he's made the state of Illinois "the adventure of his life." The 71-year-old Havana resident's adventure now spans more than 50 publications and over 13,000 illustrations of Illinois historic architecture. WCBU corespondent Steve Tarter recently sat down with Badger to talk about his story.
