A Message from Scott Laughlin

To the WJBC listeners who have noticed my absence over the past couple of weeks – thank you! I often wonder if anyone is listening. (That’s a joke.)

What’s not a joke – I have kidney cancer. It has spread to my thighbone and a couple of other spots. I had surgery earlier this week. I like to tell people that I have the strength of ten men. No more; two of them ran screaming in pain from the recovery room. It was rough, but I’m feeling better every day. Treatment (Immunotherapy) starts on May 13.

I’m getting great medical care and am lucky to have the support and encouragement of friends and family. I believe that what I have is beatable and have several role models who have gotten a similar diagnosis and beaten the odds.

So wish me luck. Looking forward to being back on the air soon.

Laughlin

Illinois poet Vachel Lindsay…

In these troubled times, to my fellow white Americans

By Mike Matejka Our nation is at a unique watershed in human relations. African-Americans have been killed too many times in the past before George Floyd, but the response to this man’s death is international and all-encompassing. I was a grade-schooler during the Civil Rights 1960s. I watched Birmingham demonstrators hosed and the Selma – Montgomery…

Workers’ Memorial Day – Remember those whose job took their life

Looking around our community, when we say employer, most will respond to State Farm, Country, or Illinois State University.   We too often forget those who are building our roads, serving our food, or our public employees. COVID-19 has made us more aware of the risk.  Going to work every day for some people means…
