![]() We reconvened a panel of 33 proud basketball-playing alums and asked: What’s the one word that best sums up how you view this year’s team? Under a new four-year collective bargaining agreement, teachers in the Mahomet-Seymour school district will receive 5 percent salary increases in both years one and two and 4.25 percent increases in both years three and four.

In the first installment of a monthlong series, Dustin Heuerman and Gregory Worrell answer the question: How do you view the limitations on a sheriff’s involvement in civil immigration enforcement imposed by the Illinois Trust Act and the Illinois Way Forward Act? MultimediaThe LatestA woman found lying on the ground "in distress" on campus in the early hours this morning has been pronounced dead, University of Illinois Police say. We reconvened a panel of 33 proud basketball-playing alums and asked: What’s the one word that best sums up how you view this year’s team? Under a new four-year collective bargaining agreement, teachers in the Mahomet-Seymour school district will receive 5 percent salary increases in both years one and two and 4.25 percent increases in both years three and four. Doug Waldal succeeds Steve Harriott, who is leaving the company to take a position as the CEO of a private equity-backed, commercial HVAC and plumbing services business. Only days after extinguishing another fire at the same location, fire crews responded to the vacant Washington School building last night. In the first installment of a monthlong series, Dustin Heuerman and Gregory Worrell answer the question: How do you view the limitations on a sheriff’s involvement in civil immigration enforcement imposed by the Illinois Trust Act and the Illinois Way Forward Act? “The election failures unfolding in Champaign County are unacceptable,” said Illinois Republican Party Chairman Bob Grogan. “These shenanigans, under officials facing criminal charges, are proof that Democrat mismanagement continues to hurt our state." A Rantoul man has pleaded guilty in a case where he was accused of murdering another man at an arranged meeting. The kids from local Boy Scout Troop 1310 from Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church continue to impress. Can an Illinois football season off to a wobblier start than anyone imagined still be salvaged? Depends which former Illini you ask. UPDATE: A statement from Leslie Farmer, Clean Cloud Energy’s director of environmental and permitting, indicated that the company may still be considering the project, just not in partnership with the village. County Clerk Aaron Ammons said that 13 vote-by-mail ballots received by his office and 15 ballots cast in person were affected by the error. His office is sending out replacement mail-in ballots to another 607 affected voters. SPRINGFIELD — A couple months after Danville Area Community College lost funding, the Illinois Community College Board (ICCB) announced Monday that Danville Community Consolidated School District 118 has been selected to provide adult education services for the area that includes portions of… The suspect was described as a Black male, seen wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt with the hood up, head phones over the hood, a bandana-type face covering and back pants While an official opening date for Fernie’s High Horse has yet to be announced, at least two concerts are already booked for late 2026: Emo brand TRSH on Dec. 4 and dream pop band She’s Green on Dec. 6. After our son grew up and began carving out a life of his own, he left home, as young men often do. It was about 21 years, one month, 17 days, three hours and 10 minutes ago, but who’s counting? When you get a criminal record, it’s tough to get a job because of the cultural baggage such a record may carry, even if you are completely rehabilitated in thought and action and can be a productive, trusted citizen in your community. "Once my children entered school, I realized I wanted to have an impact on the community they and their friends were growing up in. That realization drew me more deeply into community service and eventually public service." In Chapter 1 of a Weekend Extra miniseries, we asked members of our Central Illinois Business Magazine Forty Under 40 all-star team: Who’s your professional role model? John Summit: 'It feels like a full circle for me to come back to campus.' As the fall season progresses, it makes me think of all the insects and plants getting ready to survive winter. Among the plants that grow in the Illinois landscape, poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans) is perhaps the most notorious. Ethel & Maud Luncheon: The January edition is set for Jan. 17 at City View on the fourth floor of the Illinois Terminal Homelessness in Illinois decreased overall by 6 percent between 2025 and 2026, but chronic homelessness, where people have been homeless more than once in the last year and have a disabling condition, rose by 28 percent, according to a new state report. Saturday's graduation ceremony for members of a pre-apprenticeship program also celebrates a partnership with the city's gun violence prevention efforts. 83 Vietnamese Cuisine has applied for a liquor license at the former Black Dog building. The Asian restaurant's Champaign location has been closed since Aug. 12, when a vehicle drove through its front wall. Today is Saturday, Oct. 3, 2026. Here are local news reports from 100, 50 and 15 years ago: Congratulations to St. Joseph-Ogden's Kirsten Schaefer, a member of this year's University of Illinois homecoming court.
