A portion of the sprawling Color Point greenhouse facility at 14240 Greenhouse Ave., rural Granville, is shown. The 3.6-millionsquare-foot greenhouse and production and warehouse facilities sit on more than 231 acres of land. Red White & Bloom has signed a letter of intent to acquire Color Point greenhouse and transform it into the world’s largest indoor premium hemp facility.

Color Point sold to hemp grower Red White & Bloom to acquire 3.6-millionsquare-foot facility for hemp production GRANVILLE — MichiCann Medical Inc., operating as Red White & Bloom, has signed a letter of intent to acquire Color Point greenhouse northeast of Granville for what will be the world’s largest indoor premium hemp facility.

In operation since 1978, the greenhouse, at 14240 Greenhouse Ave., has been granted its hemp grower license and hemp processor registration from the Illinois Department of Agriculture.

The site is expected to help provide hemp for the rapidly expanding cannabidiol (CBD) product market.

CBD is a phytocannabinoid discovered in 1940, and it is one of approximately 113 identified cannabinoids present in cannabis plants.

It accounts for up to 40 percent of the plant’s extract.

In 2018, clinical research on cannabidiol included preliminary studies of its effects on anxiety, cognition, movement disorders and pain.

“CBD is growing faster than can-

nabis in the U.S., and the hemp-CBD market alone could hit $22 billion by 2022. It’s been flying under the radar but is set to explode, having profound impacts on CPG (consumer packaged goods) and Pharma,” a Brightfield Group representative said.

The Brightfield Group is a leading predictive analytics and market research firm for the legal CBD and cannabis industries.

Anchored by the Illinois facility, Red White & Bloom intends to establish large-scale production capabilities focused on hemp extraction and product manufacturing within the United States.

Management’s experience in creating the first standardized cannabis production facility in Canada will allow it to establish this state-of-theart Illinois facility as the bellwether for standardization of premium hemp CBD, and CBD-derived medicines and products.

The family-owned, 3,612,866-square-

foot greenhouse includes 451,282 square feet of production and warehouse facilities on more than 231 acres of land.

There are 175 full-time employees and more than 400 workers at peak season.

The entire greenhouse is computerized and highly efficient with an operable roof system, and ebb and flood watering with 100 percent water recycling.

“We continue with our plan to rapidly expand from our base in Michigan and invest in scaled operations across the United States as we bring together additional components of our multi-state operator strategy,” Red White & Bloom CEO Brad Rogers stated.

“We have been making investments in IP, for mulations and brands as well as finalizing terms on a number of other transactions for our CPG rollout later in 2019,” Rogers stated.

“We believe these efforts will allow us to expand our presence expeditiously and help position the company to be one of the largest national players in the rapidly expanding U.S. cannabis market,” he stated.

GRANVILLE VILLAGE BOARD

Board preparing for August street repairs

Rep. Yednock to help with funding of Elm Street project

said Yednock will be helping the village to secure $177,000 for the project through the state’s recently passed capital improvement budget.

The funds are expected to cover engineering expenses and the work required to widen Elm Street from Route 71 to Hopkins Street, as well as the addition of curbs and a sidewalk.

BY DAVE COOK news@putnamcountyrecord.com GRANVILLE — With the major renovations of McCoy Street completed last year, the Granville Village Board took steps during its June 4 meeting to address the many other streets needing attention.

“With McCoy Street completed, I think it’s good for our residents to see us working to fix some of our other streets,” board member Jim Pettit said.

The necessary paperwork to be approved by the Illinois Department of Transportation had been presented to Village President Jared Baker by engineer Mike Richetta. The $107,000 project will be funded through the village’s Motor Fuel Tax Fund, and the work is expected to be done in August.

Baker said IDOT’s approval of the work was expected to take between four to six weeks. The work will include $4,000 to spray-patch the winter-related cracks on McCoy Street, and $19,000 for four days of patching other various streets. There will also be $75,000 of various sealcoating work.

Questions arose about some of the more deteriorated streets in the village that weren’t on

With Granville’s McCoy Street having been repaved last year, the Granville Village Board is preparing for addition street repair projects for the current construction season. the board’s list, such as Harrison Street. It was reported Harrison Street also has drainage issues that need to be corrected first and that the approved work was only the first phase of anticipated improvements.

Pettit said there was still roughly $100,000 in the village’s Road Repair Fund that could be used for additional and more extensive repairs.

Baker also reported he and Pettit had been speaking with state Rep. Lance Yednock about the village’s plans for Elm Street improvements. He

• The board approved additional compensation for Granville Police Chief Kevin Moore in recognition of the additional duties he’s taken on as the village’s acting superintendent of the Granville Public Works and Street Department.

• The village will continue the inspection and surveying of local drains and sewers as it works to identify the most problematic areas.

• Pettit said he has been investigating health insurance options for the village and that there may be benefit revisions for new employees in the future.

• The necessary wiring has been completed for the new 12-foot fan scheduled to be installed at the wastewater treatment plant on June 20. The fan is expected to improve the drying time of the plant’s polymer waste mixture.

• The board agreed to replace the 15-year-old baby swings in Hopkins Park after a recommendation from member Bob Fescenmeyer.

The next Granville Village Board meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. June 18.

The Eagle on the soccer field

Twardowski’s Eagle Scout project gives Putnam County soccer a big boost

BY DAVE COOK news@putnamcountyrecord.com GRANVILLE — Joey Twardowski, 15, of Mark, has been playing soccer since he was in kindergarten. He’s also been Scouting since a young age, and he found a way to combine both with the project that helped earn him the title of Eagle Scout.

Only 4 percent of those who enter

Joey Twardowski, 15, of Granville’s Boy Scout Troop 1093, has earned the title of Eagle Scout, the Boy Scouts’ highest achievement.

of the requirements is to plan and complete a community service project.

“That project was about trying to help start a soccer program here in the Putnam County School District 535,” Twardowski said.

“I’ve been playing soccer around the area since I was in kindergarten, and so have many other PC students.

I thought it’d be a great way to help bring it to our school, so we could represent it in another popular IHSA (Illinois High School Association) sport,” he said.

Chris Newsome, the assistant principal and athletic director at Putnam County High School, said the school currently doesn’t participate in the IHSA soccer series, so any team at the high school level would be considered club status.

• EAGLE SCOUT Continued from Page 8 However, Newsome said the addition of soccer could be an option in the future as the district continually looks at how to best serve its students.

“Joe’s project has provided students and the community another option where they can try and stay physically fit and remain active throughout spring, summer and fall,” Newsome said.

“I’ve spoken to our P.E. department about using the soccer goals as an option as they plan out their instructional units. Joe did an incredible job on his project, and PC is extremely grateful for the soccer goals he donated to the school,” he said.

While requiring a lot of work, Twardowski said his project to raise the necessary money to purchase regulation soccer goals, nets, paint and field marking materials was also enjoyable.

“I invited many of the PC soccer players to come out and help with the assembly of the goals and the marking of the field. Many people showed up to the goal assembly, and it was a blast. That was the easy part,” he said.

The next stage of the project was marking out a regulation high school field using a large measuring tape, string and a rolling field marker. There were fewer volunteers to help the day that work was completed, and Twardowski said the lack of extra hands made the work significantly more difficult.

Completing the project took 164 hours and the help of numerous volunteers. He funded about twothirds of it with the $3,300 raised by selling meat sticks and candy bars.

The remaining funds for two soccer nets, a paint machine, cones and flags came through private donations.

Twardowski said he has met many great people through Scouting and that they’ve helped him become more outgoing by pushing his boundaries, little by little, until he now feels like he could do almost anything.

“Scouting helps guide youth into becoming leaders. It helps teach you skills you’d never learn in school, such as tying a clove hitch, or pitching a tent,” he said.

“They help show you don’t need the great indoors to have a good time. You can have an amazing time by the lake or making a fort on a camp-out,” he said.

Twardowski also said Scouting

opens many doors and offers opportunities for travel and excitement.

“There are amazing trips sponsored by Scouting programs that you’d never imagine even existed.

You can go camping in front of a castle in Scotland, on canoe trips in Canadian lakes, two-week long backpacking trips in New Mexico, or learn new skills through merit badges at a college and go on a scavenger hunt around the campus,” he said.

Boy Scouts age out of the organization at the age of 18, and Twardowski will remain a mem-

ber of Granville’s Troop 1093 until then. He’s not yet sure of what or where he’d like to study after he graduates from high school, but if it involves a local college, he said he’d be an assistant scoutmaster with his troop.

“If I go further away, I’d like to be a part of the local troop. I’d also like to stay active in the Order of the Arrow, which is Scouting’s National Honor Society, and hopefully receive the highest rank of Vigil.

Scouting is a great program, and I’d like to see more youth be a part of it,” he said.

HENRY

HENRY — On Wednesday, May 15, Officers Robert Finn and Logan Willand from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) Office of Law Enforcement visited members of the U of I Extension’s Marshall-Putnam 4-H Tech Wizards after-school program.

The officers talked with the youths about the duties they perform, the science and technology they use to perform these duties, and what impact these duties have on the ecology and conservation of Illinois’ natural resources.

The youth members were given an orientation of the equipment used, with a focus on the technological aspects, and were able to tour the officers’ specially outfitted trucks.

They serve as both the officers’ transportation and their office on wheels. Afterward, the youth members got hands-on experience using thermal imaging devices to locate an officer hidden in a dark room, simulating one of the many uses for these devices.

The Marshall-Putnam 4-H Tech Wizards is a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) based, after-school mentoring

MAGNOLIA

Bailey Herr nominated to attend leadership conference in Washington, D.C. MAGNOLIA — This summer, Magnolia’s Bailey Sue Herr could travel to the nation’s capital to participate with other junior high students in a leadership conference that will provide an academic and career oriented experience.

The Junior National Young Leadership Conference is one of Envision’s programs enabling students

to explore interests and experiences outside of a classroom. Envision is a tuition-based educational company marketing developmental programs to families with students in elementary school through college. According to a 2009 New York Times story, the surveys show nearly every attendee to the conference is satisfied with the experience and that

many later recommend it to others.

While in D.C., Herr would attend lectures and workshops, engage in role-playing political situations, go on sightseeing field trips and more.

Herr was nominated for the conference by her sixth-grade Putnam County Junior High School Language Arts teacher, Amy Carboni.

Herr was a member of both the basketball team and the Thundercats Wrestling Club this year.

Herr will enter seventh grade this

fall, and enjoys outdoor activities, reading, writing, poems, drawing, and socializing with friends and family. In the future, she’d like to attend college and become an educator and mentor to community youths.

Herr’s goal is to raise $3,500 to attend. To help, donations can be made through an educational GoFundMe webpage at www.gofundme.com/BaileyHerr. Any donations above that amount would be invested in a college savings account.

of college athletics. He is very familiar with our district and has built strong relationships with area coaches.”

Nauman is excited for the new job.

“I’m thrilled. It’s very exciting to get a head coaching job at the college level. I haven’t coached women’s basketball before, but it’s still just basketball. I can’t wait to get started,” he said.

“Hopefully we can keep most of the best area talent. If we can do that, we have a chance to be very successful. Right now the first priority is to fill out the roster for this season. As of now, we only have five players signed. Hopefully we can

fill a few more roster spots quickly.

Overall, it’s just very exciting, and I can’t wait to meet the team and get started.”

Nauman was head coach at Putnam County from 2010 to 2017, posting a 141-69 record with four Tri-County Conference and two regional championships.

Nauman is the founder of the Illinois Valley All-Star Game at IVCC, which allows area high school seniors an opportunity to play a final game with other local players.

“The event has been a huge success and should serve as a recruiting tool for him going forward,” said Tomasson.
