Road conditions
Streets
Department reports that the roads are OK for now, until it freezes. The salt
trucks are out working now.
The
Lincoln Police Department has some suggestions for this first snowy and slick
day. In town, leave more space in between cars, because it will take longer to
stop. Use common sense and seat belts. If there is a lot of snow on the roads,
do not go anywhere unless it is necessary — wait for the salt trucks. On the
interstate and other highways, adjust your speed to the road conditions and
drive in the lanes that are cleared. Remember that water near and on overpasses
freezes more quickly than water on the rest of the highway. Again, allow more
time for travel and more space in between cars. If traveling a long distance,
keep blankets and some food in the car. If possible, keep your cell phone
charged and take it with you in the car.
Motorists
are advised to check road conditions before beginning travel. For Illinois
highway conditions you can call IDOT, 1(800) 452-4368. Weather conditions are
expected to worsen as the day goes on; plan accordingly.

By

[DEC.

can slice this onion anyway you want to. The answer will still smell
the same. Lincoln Illinois' economic growth just took a step
backward with the announcement that the Staples Office store on
Woodlawn road will close this coming January.

[DEC.
11, 2000]
With
their backs against the wall and one more 8-count away from having the
fight stopped, the Illini dug early into Santa’s bag and pulled out an
improbable 87-79 overtime win over Seton Hall. The Pirates were better
than advertised...in fact, to this reporter, one of the top three teams in
the country...and to rally back from 21 points down and capture a win over
a team this good at a time when we really needed a close, hard-fought win
bordered on the incredible.
