Outage at Tazewell County 911 center results in calls routed to Peoria County

PEORIA, Ill. (WMBD) — Calling 911 in Tazewell County, at least for the time being, will send a person to Peoria's emergency dispatch center due to an outage. In a Facebook post, the county's 911 dispatch center said 'All 911 lines coming into our center are down. If you call 911, the call will be routed to Peoria County and they will either take the information or transfer the call to us.' The center said they hoped to have the issue resolved by Thursday afternoon. 'You can call us direct on any of the non-emergency police lines or 309-346-3132 and 309-346-4141. Sorry for the inconvenience. This issue is out of our control,' the post said. This story will be updated. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Savannah becomes an official Bee City USA

SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) — The city of Savannah has officially joined the national network of 'Bee City USA' communities. This designation reflects Savannah's ongoing commitment to sustainability, urban biodiversity and environmental stewardship. To celebrate the designation, Bee City Savannah will host its inaugural Pollinator Palooza, a citywide celebration, during National Pollinator Week which runs June 16 through 22. The week will conclude with a free community festival on Saturday, June 21, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Daffin Park. Pollinator Palooza will feature educational workshops, garden installations, pollinator-inspired menus at local restaurants, youth activities, public art and a community science initiative, all highlighting the critical role pollinators play in local ecosystems. Savannah has partnered with the Foster Beelief Foundation and BEEnevolent, led by community advocate Sade Shofidiya. Other community partners include Savannah Bee Company, Fruitful Futures, Common Thread, Flora & Fauna, Freedom Fellowship Church, The Beach Institute, Keevy's Beevies and Good Clean Fun. The Savannah Pollinator Preservation Committee has been designated as the facilitating body for Bee City Savannah. You are encouraged to get involved by attending meetings, volunteering and supporting pollinator-friendly efforts across the city. What is Bee City USA? Bee City USA is an initiative of the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation. The program provides a framework for municipalities to improve pollinator habitat through native plantings, pesticide reduction and community engagement. In 2023 alone, U.S. beekeepers reported nearly a 48% loss of managed honeybee colonies, underscoring the need for coordinated action to protect these critical species.
