  • 2019 Year in Review for Central and Southeast Illinois By: Chris Geelhart, Lead Meteorologist National Weather Service, Lincoln IL
    2019 Year in Review for Central and Southeast Illinois By: Chris Geelhart, Lead Meteorologist National Weather Service, Lincoln IL Despite a brutal Arctic air mass at the end of January, temperatures overall were near normal across central and southeast Illinois during the course of the year. The main highlight was an excessively wet late winter and spring, which resulted in near record river flooding on the Illinois River and a spring planting season far behind normal. The most active severe weather period was in late May, when tornadoes occurred on several consecutive days. Winter Season (December 1, 2018 to February 28, 2019) Temperatures: Near normal, except Precipitation: Above normal above normal near and east of I-57 Low temperatures on January 30-31 were colder than 20 below zero in a large part of central Illinois, with wind chills ranging from 40 below to 55 below zero. 2019 Year in Review for Central and Southeast Illinois Temperature Review: January started off with much above normal temperatures (highs even in the 60s on the 7th), but the month closed out with some of the coldest weather in a number of years (even surpassing the Arctic blast that ushered in 2018). The morning of the 30th saw wind chills as cold as 53 below zero at Bloomington and 40 below as far south as I-72; actual air temperatures were in the 20s below zero from Macomb to Bloomington to Hoopeston. The low of -14 in Springfield was its coldest temperature in 20 years, and Peoria spent 41 consecutive hours at or below zero from the 29th through the 31st.

  • TRANSITION PLANNING Community Resource Guide
    MCLEAN COUNTY UNIT 5 SCHOOLS TRANSITION PLANNING Community Resource Guide Developed using ARRA funds: May, 2011 Updated: November, 2014 Introduction The purpose of this resource guide is to support family and student participation in planning for life after high school into adulthood. Transition Services are a coordinated set of activities for students as part of the IEP, designed to promote movement from school to post-school activities, including post- secondary education, vocational training, integrated employment (including supported employment), continuing and adult education, related services, independent living, or community participation. In Illinois, transition planning becomes a part of the IEP process for students at age 14-1/2. The sooner families and students begin to plan for the transition to employment and adult services, the more successful the child will be. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a powerful educational law, which outlines the transition planning process. Students have rights within the special education system. Once the transition to adult services is complete, families will find that a child‘s rights are different and much less comprehensive. Special education students are entitled to special education services. Adult services are based on eligibility and availability of funding. Many services and supports readily available in special education are not available in the arena of adult services. Good transition planning is critical to a successful transition to adult services. When a child exits the special education system, many of the same advocacy skills learned in special education will be needed; but the rules and laws are dramatically different in the adult service system.

Experience an in-depth look at the life of one of America’s greatest presidents with our “Life of Lincoln” motor coach tour. The 4-day, 3-night tour includes a special visit to the new Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Springfield, Illinois. We’ll also tour Lincoln’s New Salem State Historic Site, the Lincoln Home in Springfield, the Lincoln Tomb in Oak Ridge Cemetery, and much more!

Heading through miles of cornfields in central Illinois, the prairie’s gorgeous vistas open up into another spectacular…cornfield. All right, we have to confess that the drive to Lincoln country isn’t the most exciting one in America, but we can watch a movie on the coach’s DVD system, play one of Bob’s Useless Trivia Games, or just take a morning nap.

  • One of the First Tasks Expected in Beginning The
    Chapter 1 1.1 Introduction Natural disasters have played a significant role in the history of Jersey County. While the county has experienced its share of damage from tornadoes, straight line winds and flash flooding (the latter being responsible for the most deaths due to natural hazards), the devastating and prolonged flood of 1993 stands without equal. When the swollen rivers of the Mississippi, Missouri and Illinois overran their banks in the spring of 1993, Jersey County, positioned at the crossroads of these three mighty rivers, found itself at the center of a historic flood. Official records place the length of the 1993 flood at 195 days between April and October, but its impact on county and municipal government continues to this day. At its height, the Mississippi River crested at approximately 20 feet over flood stage in Grafton. Hundreds of residents were displaced, some permanently, by the floodwaters. The Jersey County Assessors Office recorded a reduction of property assessment of more than $3 million due to damage caused by the flood.1 Damage to agricultural land caused the County’s crop production to fall by 3 percent from 1992 production levels in a year when state crop production rose by some two percent. Incalculable costs from disrupted transportation were also incurred. Approximately 35 miles of county roads were inundated, including the Great River Road, the main transportation route for goods and people between Jersey County and metro St. Louis communities on both sides of the Mississippi. During the flood, only five businesses out of 85 remained open in Grafton while all seven businesses in Elsah were closed.2 The impact of the 1993 flood has changed the entire character of some areas of the county.
