Vintage Vinyl sale
WILL hosts annual sale used records, CDs
WILL radio's 12th annual Vintage Vinyl sale takes place from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. June 26 at Lincoln Square Mall in Urbana.

Thousands of used records, tapes and CDs will be offered for sale, with most LPs selling for only $1. Used stereo equipment, including CD players, turntables and speakers, will be offered at bargain prices.

Sale coordinator Brian Robertson said the sale includes a selection of vintage 78s, videotapes and even some eight-track tapes, along with record cases and cassette holders.

"Local residents have been extremely generous during their spring cleaning, as always, so there'll be collectors' items galore," said WILL-FM program director Jake Schumacher, who is assisting Robertson with sorting and pick-ups.

All proceeds from Vintage Vinyl benefit public radio stations WILL-AM (580) and WILL-FM (90.9, 101.1 in Champaign-Urbana, 106.5 Danville).

Learning about law enforcement
Citizen Police Academy announced for fall
Champaign County residents interested in getting an inside look at how local law enforcement works are invited to participate in the Champaign County Citizen Police Academy.

The academy, which meets Thursday nights from 6:30 to 9:30 for 12 weeks beginning Sept. 2, will cover crime prevention; community-based policing; drug and alcohol abuse and enforcement; domestic violence; drunken driving enforcement; citizen-police contacts; use of force; and firearms safety. The meetings are held at the Police Training Institute.

Now in its 10th year, the academy strives to help local residents better understand police work. In addition, the police agencies involved in the academy seek feedback from participants about law-enforcement issues.

For more information or to enroll in the program, call Lois Welling at the institute, 244-9589, between 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays.
