ST. LOUIS - Believe it or not, despite the temps being about as hot as they can be around the St. Louis region, these are not going to hit historical highs. St. Louis meteorologist Matt Beitscher said some of the humidity in the region may hit historical highs, but the temps are dangerous either way, and those working outside are encouraged to show great caution. At 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Beitscher checked the weather gauge and it read in the mid-90s. He said it is going to get quite a bit hotter in the middle part of the week with highs in the upper 90s near 100 and low 100s in part of the region. The forecaster said a dangerous heat wave will continue through at least Thursday into part of Friday. "Heat index values of 105-115 degrees are expected with locally higher amounts possible," the National Weather Service said.

As the State’s Librarian, I strongly condemn these threats of violence and intimidation that are unfortunately becoming all too common at libraries in Illinois and across our nation. The bomb threats received by Illinois libraries during the past several days represent a troublesome and disturbing trend that has escalated from banning books, to harassing and criminalizing librarians and now to endangering the lives of innocent people. I wholeheartedly support our libraries, which are committed to serving our communities as safe, welcoming havens to learn and access ideas and especially our librarians who are dedicated public servants devoted to treating people with dignity and respect. Libraries and librarians protect our First Amendment right to free speech and our constitutional right to read. We must join together to stand up to fringe elements that resort to threats of violence and seek to destroy the fundamental freedoms that our nation was founded upon.

ALTON - After years of being told she would never get pregnant, a local mom is still amazed by her 2-month-old triplet daughters. Alexus Loyd-Lockhart said that Ari, Armani and Alyson are healthy and each has their own personalities already. The family has enjoyed getting to know their three newest, littlest members. “It’s weird,” Loyd-Lockhart confessed. “It’s hit me, but then again, I look at them every day and I’m like, ‘Wow.’” Loyd-Lockhart and her husband Todd also have a 7-year-old and an 8-year-old. Both kids dote on their little sisters, though Loyd-Lockhart jokes that her son has his limits when the babies are crying. “They help a lot,” Loyd-Lockhart said. “Sometimes my son is like, ‘I’ll try this binky one time. If it doesn’t work, I’m going to the next room.’ But my daughter, she’s on board. She’s been a really big help.” Loyd-Lockhart never expected
