Newspaper plays important role in community - Danville Commercial News

Friday, August 12, 2016

When Bob called my house to ask me what I thought of his column, I felt as though Michael Jordan was on the phone, asking me for tips on how to play basketball. For a guy who grew up in Danville and Westville — and who probably learned to read by reading the funny papers in the The Commercial-News — it was an honor to write about my own District 118, my own Danville Area Community College, my own Schlarman High School, local politics and Danville City Hall. The years chased one another like kittens chasing their tails. But I digress. Back to 1866. A booming town The Danville that gave rise to The Commercial was, to a large extent, the Danville that Lincoln knew as he rode the judicial circuit in the 1840s and 1850s. The Vermilion County Courthouse of 1832, where he argued countless cases, was still in use, as was the McCormack House, where he, circuit judges and fellow circuit riders often lodged. Many log buildings survived, as did some of the settlers who built them. Streets shifted from dust to mud to dust again. But Danville, even then, was no jerkwater village. Half of that first, four-page inaugural newspaper was filled with classified and display advertisements for local businesses that occupied commercial blocks along Main and Vermilion streets. Danville was a county seat and growing market town with railroads, factories, schools, professional offices, seminaries, shops, saloons and churches. The Danville Commercial’s first home, from 1866 until 1891, was above a hardware store at the southeast corner of Main and Walnut streets. After six years at 121 W. Main St., it moved to its present location on North Street. A simple cast iron hand press — like the wooden version that Benjamin Franklin manned more than 100 years earlier — was used at first. It was hard, tedious, back-breaking work. All type was set by hand, one letter and one space at a time. It took two men a full day to print 200 four-page papers. In 1874, that press was replaced by a steam-driven A. B. Taylor Cylinder Press, the first “power” press seen in Vermilion County. Business grew; The Commercial became a daily publication on Sept. 10, 1878. The printing plant also featured a Gordon job press, which the printer powered with a foot treadle. With it, he printed business cards, invitations, funeral notices, handbills, tickets and other small orders br...

No applicants yet for public seats on Nova Scotia funeral board - Cape Breton Post

Wednesday, March 27, 2019

SYDNEY, N.S. - Anyone upset over what's happening in the funeral industry in Nova Scotia now has an opportunity to pull up a chair and do something about it. For the first time, the Nova Scotia Board of Registration of Embalmers and Funeral Directors is offering two board seats to public advocates not connected to the funeral industry, measures taken following a bizarre and emotional mix up at a Nova Scotia funeral home last year. Rodger Gregg "That way the public can get involved in enforcement actions when they need to be taken by the board as we'd have the consumer advocate perspective as well," said Rodger Gregg, registrar of cemetery and funeral services in Nova Scotia. However, Gregg said, his concern is that no one has applied for the positions and the positions start in June. "Right now, we haven't received any applicants for these positions," he said. "For us it's a great opportunity for there now to be consumer representation on the board to represent the consumer's interest." The board previously consisted of just the registrar and five othe...
