Colic is one of the most common and serious equine emergencies. In horses, colic refers to abdominal pain that arises from gastrointestinal issues such as gas and impaction (blockages).

The Latest2026 marked Triss Henderson’s third decade with Parkland and 20 years as the director of community education. Champaign County Crime Stoppers is asking for the public's help identifying suspects in an armed subject investigation. Much has changed in 250 years since the Declaration of Independence, but many aspects of astronomy look the same.
Colic is one of the most common and serious equine emergencies. In horses, colic refers to abdominal pain that arises from gastrointestinal issues such as gas and impaction (blockages). As springtime approaches, horse owners must remain vigilant for signs of colic and take steps to prevent colic brought on by spring pasture.
We have a long-standing affection for courtroom dramas. “Perry Mason” set the standard years ago. He’s still questioning witnesses, introducing dramatic pieces of evidence, and consulting with Paul Drake and Della Street in black and white, albeit in the wee hours of the morning on local channels. Today, let's talk about the problem plaguing communities and cities where there are bike-share businesses where the renters leave bikes here and there willy-nilly when they are done with them. Liability by the biker? By the leasing company? Co-owner Ryan Brooks: “We primarily focus on hormone optimization or hormone therapy — it has had a lot of names through the years, but helping people feel better, relieving symptoms by balancing people’s hormones." Steve Richford, Chicago: “On the drive home, we will be optimistic about the future and not pessimistic about today." UConn beats Illinois 71-62 on Saturday night in a national semifinal game at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis: 'I've never been around a group of guys who have given me more joy.' In what was almost certainly his final appearance as an Illinois basketball player, freshman phenom Keaton Wagler scored 20 points and had eight rebounds. “I think we are hitting our peak, especially defensively. And I still don’t feel like we’ve even had our best offensive game in this tournament. So when you put both of those together, we’re going to be tough to beat.” “I have had the opportunity to know and work alongside several amazing leaders. I hope to become a composite character of all their best traits when my career concludes," Stephanie Stuart says. Let’s explore how corn gluten meal (CGM) works and what you should consider if you decide to try it. “The NCAA is doing it correctly,” said Todd Black during the team's open pracice. “To make this event free for the fans is to give them the highlight of a lifetime.” Today is Saturday, April 4, 2026. Here are local news reports from 100, 50 and 15 years ago: Greetings from Indianapolis, where our coverage team is knee-deep in all things Illini 
Head to our Facebook page to view hundreds of Illini fan-submitted photos and videos, including this image of Matt Kuntz's handiwork at the Middle Fork River Preserve. A recap of the March 17 election with answers to a couple of reader questions about it … whether the UI has any special plans to protect the Alma Mater statue on this Final Four weekend … and whether the C-U MTD will get a do-over on a public hearing that shouldn’t have happened when it did. All in this week’s Mailbag. Today's guide to all things Illini at the Final Four in Indianapolis: 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, Savoy and Urbana. Frustrated Peoples Gas customers and utility watchdog advocates gathered in Daley Plaza on Wednesday to protest rising heat bills, chanting “Rate hike? No! Record profits? No!” Over 100 demonstrators decried the $202.3 million rate hike request submitted by Peoples Gas in January that would add an average $10-11 to monthly gas bills for typical residential customers, if approved by the Illinois Commerce Commission this November. 
Gov. J.B. Pritzker is calling on Congress to allow the permanent year-round use of E15 gasoline — a blend of 15% ethanol and 85% gasoline that is cheaper than regular fuel and increases demand for corn. 
Jazmine Hernandez was recently hired as the shelter’s new executive director and stepped into the role in early March, said City of Champaign Township Supervisor Charlene Murray. A staff member at the Arcola Elementary School is facing federal charges for allegedly misusing funds during his employment in the Paris Union School District #95. 
Each week, courts beat reporter Luke Taylor will assemble a bulletin of local criminal activity reported by C-U police. From Champaign to Springfield, Illini enthusiasm is sweeping the region. Today is Friday, April 3, 2026. Here are local news reports from 100, 50 and 15 years ago: 
Danville born and raised Kenny Heckler has been keeping it local bartending at the Vermilion River Beer Co. since shortly after its 2019 opening. 
The new timeline calls for United Airlines to begin service locally on June 1, not the April 30 date announced originally, Willard Airport Executive Director Tim Bannon said Thursday night. 
Champaign police have made a second arrest in relation to a March 21 shooting at Market Place Shopping Center. 
The new regulations are not identical to those put in place during the March 28 game against Iowa and allow Campustown liquor store owners more time to make sales on game day. After teaching preschool for a 11 years in the small, central Illinois towns of Paris, Bellflower, Saybrook, and Arrowsmith, Carol Bergfield found the classroom where she’d spend the rest of her 41-year career. The Fairbury native has spent the last 30 years teaching first graders at Judah Christian School in Champaign, a school and a grade she took to quickly. The Bailey Buzz this week has some information on two weekend Easter egg hunts, Habitat for Humanity of Danville news, a find in the rubble of the Bresee Tower demolition, a Danville Art League competition and First Friday in downtown Danville. Please read today’s column without a political lens. What I am writing about has zero to do with politics and is 100 percent about the business of broadcasting. Kids on the move: Chicago, Turkey Run, Disney World and so many more places. This year's theme for April's Child Abuse Prevention Month is Pinwheels of Possibilities. They want to give children all the possibilities for a safe and supportive environment, local organization representatives said. Registration is now open for an upcoming Champaign County Residential Electronics Collection event, which is set for May 16 at Parkland College. 
With fingers crossed for more celebrations from Illini fans this coming Saturday, the University of Illinois Police Department is once again preparing to manage Campustown crowds. On Saturday, issues of The News-Gazette's keepsake Final Four edition will be available in Indianapolis. Today is Thursday, April 2, 2026. Here are local news reports from 100, 50 and 15 years ago: John Rollins, board president of the Don Moyer Boys & Girls Club: "While the Board carefully considered conducting a broader search, we ultimately recognized that the process would lead us to Monica." 
UPDATE: Posters will be on sale at 9 a.m. Thursday at The News-Gazette at 2101 Fox Drive. 
The organization on Wednesday announced Sheilah Knight has been appointed the new director. She's a Vermilion County native, previously served as director of community programs at the Nevada Humane Society in Reno, Nev. and recently relocated home to Vermilion County. A big crowd showed up to cheer the Illini as they left campus this afternoon for Indianapolis. 'We're going there to kick ass!' 
Thanks to the many community contributors who have joined News-Gazette Radio powered by GTPS Insurance. 
The fire department responded to the three-story apartment building in the 2000 block of W. John St. at 10:44 p.m. Tuesday. Upon their arrival, firefighters saw that an exterior fire was moving up the building from a first-floor balcony. 
She left lawmen stunned and disturbed, and when her crimes finally caught up with her, 11 people were dead by her hand.
