Anna seeks permit system to regulate traveling farmers market
In Anna, roving sellers at the Tuesday farmers market stress the value of locally grown Union County produce. City officials consider a new ordinance to regulate peddlers, requiring permits and proof of permission to operate, while keeping the market in place and addressing tax and consumer concerns. Duty, a market participant, supports local growth but balks at added costs for nonlocal vendors. The plan aims to balance sales activity with retail interests and city control.

Tougher admission standards at SIUC raise questions of access
SIUC contends higher admission standards must balance competitiveness with openness. Bryson notes a developmental Center for Basic Skills since 1969 assists about 17 percent of entering freshmen and argues standardized tests capture only part of readiness. Wendler praises the center for helping students persist and graduate at parity with others. James Duggan calls the policy a balancing act between broader access and regional competition.

PAWS faces tough summer for Anna no-kill shelter
PAWS caretaker Sheeley says donations dwindled over the past year while stray cat and dog intake remains steady at about 80 animals, filling the no-kill shelter. Eight to ten daily calls to drop off pets outpace openings. vacancies only arise through adoptions, forcing occasional refusals. The group operates on about $8,000 monthly, with an annual budget near $100,000, and may shift to all volunteer work if funding collapses, but would not surrender animals to animal control.
