The Fischer Theatre in Danville is moving away from selling tickets at the box office. Tickets will only be available online. Fischer officials say buying on-line is the preferred method, and is less expensive for the Fischer. All tickets for events can be purchased in advance on atthefischer.com or before the show at the theatre. The box office will always be open one hour prior to showtime for those who prefer to purchase tickets in person.

Admission rates to be set for new poolThe construction of the new Garfield Park pool is moving along, so the City of Danville is set to establish admission rates for the upcoming season. The Public Services committee will discuss the rates at its meeting Tuesday night. The proposal calls for an 8 dollar daily pass (per person) and a 4 dollar per person cost for non-profit organizations. There will be a punch card for 10 daily passes for $70. The Municipal Pool has been completely refurbished and modified to include water slides. The plan is to open the pool for the first time around Memorial Day. 15 year prison sentence for drug chargeA 33 year old Danville man has been sentenced to 15 years in prison. Terry Carter pleaded guilty to Possession of Methamphetamine With Intent to Deliver. A news release from State’s Attorney Jacqueline Lacey said the Vermilion County Metropolitan Group uncovered that Terry Carter was dealing methamphetamine in Danville. Through a series of controlled buys, enough evidence was gathered to obtain a search warrant for Carter’s residence. During the execution of the search warrant, agents found Carter to be in possession of a large amount of methamphetamine, packaging materials and drug paraphernalia. During an interview with law enforcement, Carter admitted to selling methamphetamine. Library to expand its hoursThe Danville Public Library is expanding its operating hours to better serve the community.

Broadband program to be discussedVermilion Advantage is presenting a public meeting at Danville Area Community College, Bremer Theater, Danville Illinois, at 9:00 AM on April 24 to discuss the Broadband Breakthrough Program. This program is designed to attract and obtain grant funding for reliable, speedy, affordable internet connections throughout the county. Bill Coleman of the Benton Institute one of the central figures in the Breakthrough program will be present to answer questions and explain more about how the program benefits the county. The Breakthrough Program is sponsored by the University of Illinois Extension and Benton Institute and funded by entities such as the Soybean Association. Mike Marron at Vermilion Advantage says quality internet is a must for our local economy to grow. It supports businesses as diverse as family farms to small town businesses like a newspaper. It is also critical for quality of life from education to entertainment to telemedicine opportunities. While many take being connected to the world for granted, it is not a tool every home and business has in the rural area of the county and even in some populous cities and villages. This program can be a game changer and real dollars are available when we partner with providers to find ways to meet the needs of our community. Join us to hear the facts and some success stories to illustrate the potential we have if we put our minds to it!

Scholarhip winner address city councilThe winner of this year’s Martin Luther King Scholarship read his winning essay to the Danville City Council on Tuesday. DHS Senior Davari Boyd said that Black children are disproportionately labeled as having learning problems. He was one of those kids; but with the support of his mother and himself, he was able to succeed.
Boyd has been accepted at Eastern Illinois University and Indiana State University. He hopes to get a degree in Criminology and become a Danville police officer. Police Chief Christopher Yates said he is already working to support Boyd.
County get final multiplerVermilion County has been issued a final property assessment equalization factor of 1.0000, according to David Harris, director of the Illinois Department of Revenue (IDOR).
The property assessment equalization factor, often called the "multiplier," is the method used to achieve uniform property assessments among counties, as required by law. This equalization is particularly important because some of the state's 6,600 local taxing districts overlap into two or more counties (e.g., school districts, junior college districts, fire protection districts). If there was no equalization among counties, substantial inequities among taxpayers with comparable properties would result.
Under a law passed in 1975, property in Illinois should be assessed at one-third (1/3) of its market value. Farm property is assessed differently with farm homesites and dwellings subject to regular assessing and equalization procedures. Farmland is assessed at one-third of its agriculture economic value and not subject to the state equalization factor.
Assessments in Vermilion County are at 33.26% of market value, based on sales of properties in 2020, 2021, and 2022.
The equalization factor currently being assigned is for 2023 taxes, payable in 2024.
Last year's equalization factor for the county was 1.0000.
The final assessment equalization factor was issued after a public hearing on the tentative factor. The tentative factor issued on 09-Nov-2023 was 1.0000.
The equalization factor is determined annually for each county by comparing the price of individual properties sold over the past three years to the assessed value placed on those properties by the county supervisor of assessments/county assessor.
If the three-year average level of assessment is one-third of the market value, the equalization factor will be one (1). If the average level of assessment is greater than one-third of market value, the equalization factor will be less than one (1). And if the average level of assessment is less than one-third of market value, the equalization factor will be greater than one (1).
A change in the equalization factor does not mean total property tax bills will increase or decrease. Tax bills are determined by local taxing bodies when they request money each year to provide services to local citizens. If the amount requested by local taxing districts is not greater than the amount received in the previous year, then total property taxes will not increase even if assessments increase.
The assessed value of an individual property determines what portion of the tax burden a specific taxpayer will assume. That individual's portion of tax responsibility is not changed by the multiplier. Bill to promote information about abuseState Representative Brandun Schweizer (R-Danville) is a chief co-sponsor of legislation that passed out of the House on April 15, 2024. House Bill 4350 mandates certain establishments, like hotels and emergency rooms, to hang posters developed by the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) that provide information for children on how to report physical and sexual abuse.
“I am proud to serve as a chief co-sponsor on this important measure aimed at protecting children in abusive situations,” said Rep. Schweizer. “In Springfield, we must tackle difficult issues to have a positive impact on our communities, which is why I support taking this important and necessary step in the battle against child trafficking and abuse."
House Bill 4350 creates the Child Abuse Notice Act, which focuses on placing a notice on how to report abuse in high-traffic areas, like hotels or motels, emergency rooms, and public transit stations, as those establishments have higher chances of children who are being abused or trafficked to pass through.
The posters will be created by the Department of Children and Family Services. A model will be available to download at no cost to the requesting entity. Printed posters must be 8.5 x 11 inches in size and written in 16-point font. Each requesting establishment must print the posters in other languages if a large population of non-English speakers live in that establishment's county.
“The implementation of this bill serves to help children in unimaginable situations get the help they need by providing information on how to get help,” said Schweizer.
The bill now moves to the Senate for consideration. To follow its progress, visit ILGA.gov.
Danville okays solar deveopmentThe City of Danville has agreed to put a solar energy system on part of a former land fill site. The city council Tuesday voted on a Special Use Permit to allow for a Large-Scale Ground Solar Energy System on the old city landfill along Highland Boulevard and Greenwood Cemetery Road. Chad Tady of TotalEnergies told the council that the plan would have a variety of benefits to Danville
The company and the city will now develop a detailed lease for the project. Tady says the solar panels should last 35 years, and if the project is ever ended, the company will do the cleanup
The company hopes the project can be underway by the end of 2026. City officials say they know of no other use for the former landfill property. Council acts on Public Works changes, Friendly town rehabThe Danville City Council Tuesday appointed Dave Ruwe as Director of Public Works. Ruwe’s appointment will be a switch of jobs with long time Director Carl Carpenter. Carpenter had planned to retire and was training Ruwe. But Carpenter decided against retirement. So Carpenter will become Operations Administrator, which is Ruwe’s present job.. Ruwe thanked the council members for their support.
The council also approved changes to the solid waste ordinance. New prices are being established for special large scale collections in the city. The monthly HOUSEHOLD SOLID WASTE COLLECTION also will go up $1.50 a month to $25. There will also be slight increases the next four years. Also okayed was funding for a new perimeter fence around Friendly Town in Lincoln Park. Friendly Town is being refurbished, and Police Chief Chris Yates says the community response to adopt or sponsor part of the town has been great.
There will be a community workday on the project next month. And Yates hopes the project will be complete for a community open house June 1. Bill aims to protect seniors from scamsLocal U.S. Reps. Robin Kelly (D-IL) and Troy Balderson (R-OH) introduced the Protecting Seniors from Emergency Scams Act, legislation aimed at raising awareness for scams targeting our nation’s seniors.
The bill would direct the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to issue a report on the types of scams seniors face, the frequency of these scams, and possible policy recommendations to help older adults identify scams before it is too late.
"Our senior citizens deserve the respect and resources they need to live with dignity and thrive. Scams preying on their fears are unacceptable and often harm entire families," Congresswoman Robin Kelly said. "We have a moral obligation to stop these con artists by empowering seniors with facts and information and empowering the FTC to understand how these criminal operations start and prevent them from continuing."
“Each day, Americans fall victim to deceptive schemes,” said Balderson, “and it is especially cruel when these scams target seniors. This legislation will help us get a better understanding of how these criminals operate and, in turn, help us intervene to prevent seniors from being taken advantage of in the first place.”
The Protecting Seniors From Emergency Scams Act also directs FTC to update its web portal with information about scams targeting seniors. This portal would allow consumers to search for scams by region, and access contact information for law enforcement and adult protective service agencies. It also directs FTC to work with media outlets and law enforcement agencies to distribute this information to seniors and their caregivers.
“The bipartisan, 3000-member Elder Justice Coalition is proud to endorse the bipartisan Protecting Seniors From Emergency Scams Act. Reps. Kelly and Balderson are to be commended for this commonsense legislation addressing a most debilitating form of elder abuse, financial abuse caused by scams. This bill would enhance the already fine work of the FTC in scam prevention. This legislation is all about protecting seniors from losing, in some cases, their entire life savings from a scam,” said Elder Justice Coalition National Coordinator Bob Blancato. VA salutes volunteersVA Illiana Health Care System will recognize 74 regularly scheduled volunteers, April 21-27, for the 7,395 hours they have contributed toward caring for Veterans through volunteer assignments associated with driving, directing, accompanying, serving, comforting, and counseling during fiscal year 2023.
Across America, VA will recognize more than 25,400 volunteers for their service to Veterans at VA medical facilities nationwide during National Volunteer Week. In fiscal year 2023, VA volunteers and organizations nationwide donated more than 3.2 million hours of service and more than $81.1 million in gifts and donations for Veterans and their families.
“The dedicated volunteers at VA Illiana do truly remarkable work that helps us connect Veterans with care,” said VA Illiana Executive Director Staci Williams. “One particularly impactful duty performed by volunteers is serving as drivers and shuttle operators. Our volunteer drivers provide veterans transportation from the rural areas we serve to our clinics and community partner providers. These, and all volunteers, truly help us accomplish our mission.”
National Volunteer Week also presents an opportunity for other citizens to join the ranks of volunteers serving Veterans. There are many ways to volunteer. For instance, VA Illiana offers the unique opportunity to serve as a volunteer driver, helping ensure Veterans have the transportation they need to reach their care. Also, volunteers are a critical part of shaping a warm and welcoming environment at VA through initiatives such as the Veteran Coffee Cart.
“Volunteering in any capacity is a noble pursuit, but the joy and fulfilment I have seen in those who choose to volunteer with VA is remarkable,” said Aaron Cain, VA Illiana’s acting chief of the Center for Development and Civic Engagement. “From friendships formed on the open road between drivers and Veterans to preparing for a special holiday celebration, VA volunteers contribute immeasurable talent and gain lifelong rewards.”
While National Volunteer Week kicks off April 21, VA invites everyone in the community to explore ways to give back to Veterans any time of the year. In addition, Veterans can explore volunteer opportunities as part of VetServe 2024, which encourages Veterans to become volunteers to support other Veterans. No medical experience is necessary, and volunteers are encouraged to share ideas how they would like to give back using their unique skills.

Authorities probe fatal fireAuthorities are investigation a Danville fire that killed one person. Danville firefighters were called to a house on fire in the 1300 block of McKinley Avenue just before midnight on Friday. Fire Chief Aaron Marcott said upon arrival firefighters encountered heavy fire coming from the front and west sides of the 1 ½ half story home. A bystander informed fire fighters that an occupant of the home remained inside. First arriving firefighters immediately began extinguishing the large volume of fire. When the fire was brought under control, firefighters entered to search for the victim. The victim was found after a brief search. Fire fighters ruled that the victim had died and notified the coroner’s office. The name of the victim has not been released by the coroner. The Illinois State Fire Marshals office is assisting the Danville Fire Department with determining the cause of the fire. The Danville Police Department and the Vermilion County Coroner’s Office are also examining the case. Additionally, five pets were lost in the fire. There were no other injuries in the incident. The Red Cross was notified to assist family members of the victim. Danville planning solar energy siteThe City of Danville is looking to place a solar energy system on part of a former land fill site. The city council Tuesday will vote on a Special Use Permit to allow for a Large-Scale Ground Solar Energy System on the property on the old city landfill site along Highland Boulevard and Greenwood Cemetery Road. The Zoning commission already approved the idea. The company TotalEnergies’ plan would take up about 32 of the 56 acres in the site. The oddity is that since the City of Danville owns the land, it will have to petition for the change. So the city council will be voting whether to approve the plan for the land. It is felt that solar panels on the site is about the only use available for the former landfill. The Danville City Council this week will appoint Dave Ruwe as Director of Public Works. Ruwe’s appointment will be a switch of jobs with long time Director Carl Carpenter. Carpenter had planned to retire and was training Ruwe. But Carpenter decided against retirement. So Carpenter will become Operations Administrator, which is Ruwe’s present job. The salaries involved also will flip with the job changes. The Danville City Council will meet at 6 p.m. Tuesday at City hall. Got back or leg pain?Got back or leg pain? Spinal stenosis (steh-NOE-siss) may be to blame.

The LatestChampaign fire officials found flammable liquid inside an apartment in the 300 block of Kenwood Road after a resident said she heard Khristian M. Williams, 32, say he was going to set it on fire in December 2022. Writes Betsy Holder in a guest commentary: "Drawing from my experience as a personal injury attorney and having helped build not-for-profit corporations, I bring a perspective to the school board that centers on policy evaluation, ethical and legal compliance concerns and general risk management. That is where I am directing my focus." "We spend all of our money on children, veterans and the elderly. So we try to maintain every dollar we can. And the gaming income, to us, really helps out." As baseball mourned the death of Ken Holtzman this month at age 78, Editor Jeff D’Alessio asked two Baseball Hall of Famers, a rabbi and a couple of fans to share their favorite memory of the University of Illinois business administration grad. Unit 4 found Craig Keer’s successor within the district — Dan Nock has spent the past three years as assistant principal at Westview Elementary. Police determined that the rifle McKenzie Davis, 28, was allegedly brandishing in traffic on Saturday was an air-rifle that had its safety markers removed. “A big compliment to the administration and the teachers at Ludlow Grade School. You can walk in that building and you can feel the enthusiasm by the kids and the teachers about being there."
