A pre-trial is scheduled next month for Keshawn J. Cotton, 21, of Danville, who was charged last month with first-degree murder and aggravated battery with a firearm by the Vermilion County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Associate Planner Lily Wilcock: “The structure is in dire need of repair and cannot be repaired as a non-conforming structure.” Hugh Sands said his attorney on Monday filed a petition for judicial review in Vermilion County Circuit Court against Jerry Hawker who objected to his election petition. Honored by the Illinois Principals Association: Villa Grove's Bobby Beck, Bismarck-Henning's Lindsey Prunkard, Georgetown-Ridge Farm's Kevin Thomas and Oakwood's Nicole Johnson. “I have never gone to an FFA event where I came home that I wasn’t charged 10,000 times because the young people in that blue jacket really could turn the entire world on its head if you would just let them," Gale Cunningham says. Friday's visit to Madison Square Garden will be a holiday treat. "I would like to give a big thank you to everyone involved in helping my dream come true. I really appreciate you all, and my family and I are forever grateful." 
The last contract between the two entities was in 2014 and what the county has been charging for services hasn't kept up with total costs. Director Peter Goldsmith: “So now we’ve got two years. If we want to continue soybean development in Africa, we’ve got to find money that carries us beyond 2027.” 
A symbolic, traveling bell used by Salvation Army of Champaign County during the holiday season is making the trip to Thursday’s Chiefs-Cowboys game. Today is Tuesday, Nov. 25, 2025. Here are local news reports from 100, 50 and 15 years ago: A Monticello man was pronounced dead at the scene of a crash near Bondville late Sunday night.

Fred is a chubby, fuzzy Isabella caterpillar, more commonly known as a woolly bear caterpillar. Unfortunately, Fred has already had two close brushes with death. Effective Jan. 1, 2026, the Illinois legislature will redefine bicycle to include low-speed electric bicycles. With the big day just around the bend, we asked a supersized panel of as-seen-on-TV chefs and other foodies with local connections for words of wisdom on mixing up the Thanksgiving menu. To Dustin Campbell, "balancing the office side with the hands-on work that I love" is the most challenging side of leadership. "I’d rather be out helping customers and fixing equipment, but being a leader means I’m juggling both." Eighty-four-year-old Bill Stark of rural Danville doesn't take it for granted that he and his siblings and large extended family — over 100 of them — make a point of meeting up regularly. Each year in my home, the two most populous indoor insects that we notice in the wintertime are the Asian lady beetle (Harmonia axyridis) and the brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys). Each of these species has a different story of its introduction to our continent, but both of these Asian invaders have rapidly occupied states from coast to coast.

Mt. Calvary Missionary Baptist Church has announced that Sunday's services will still be held in the church building at 1601 W. Bloomington Rd., with members instructed to enter through the Fellowship Hall door and dress warmly. How residents can get involved in the “alternative response” process in Urbana … what’s going up on Prairie Street in Champaign … why Spanish-language job ads have been airing on Illini sports broadcasts … and whether a housing survey you may have received via email is legit. The man found dead near Stoney Creek in Danville has been identified as Stephen R. Petmecky of Rantoul, said Vermilion County Coroner Jane McFadden. Marcus McKinney, who has two prior federal drug convictions, faces a statutory penalty of mandatory life imprisonment for his various convictions, including distributing the drugs that caused the death of a woman. Alexander Cuthbertson, 33, and Brandon Murray, 48, have both been charged with burglary, trespassing and possession of methamphetamine precursors, along with other offenses, Monticello police said. Both men are from Decatur. Each week, we'll run details of permits for all new single-family and multi-family residences — as well as commercial and industrial work and residential remodeling costing over $25,000 — in Champaign, Rantoul, Savoy and Urbana. "They’re all good kids in both school districts, and so they may play tough out on the field or on the sidelines cheering, but when it’s all said and done, they’re still friends." 
A man was observed saying he had been shot or stabbed, but there was no evidence this had occurred at 4:56 a.m. Saturday.
