Indian Video owner protests block closure after building collapse
Indian Video at 121 E Broadway faced disruption after the Walt Massengill building partially collapsed at East Broadway. City closed Washington Avenue to through traffic, prompting owner Cathy White to lay off a part timer and reduce hours while arguing the front 31 feet remained accessible and parking 29 feet away. She proposes reopening eastbound Broadway with a westbound detour.

Council stalls on merit board reappointments in Du Quoin
Du Quoin City Council again fails to approve Mayor Rednour's bid to reappoint Babe Hill to the Police and Fire Merit Board. A nomination for Curtis Jackson also stalls for lack of a second amid party concerns. Jackson and Hill face opposition over politics and process as the council notes legal opinions were sought without its knowledge. In the end no one was appointed to the board while an ordinance creating an assistant chief of police is approved and fund-raising for Easter Seals proceeds. Historic city record books are slated for restoration with pledges from the mayor, the Appulin family, and the Lions Club.
