Winner of free gas for a year

SAVANNA

LRA allows company to pump, ship 43 million gallons of water monthly

By TONY CARTON For the Prairie Advocate SAVANNA – At the Jo Carroll Depot LRA Board of Directors regular monthly meeting Jan. 6, in its new conference room at 18901 B St. at the former Army depot, the board accepted an addendum revising the now expired contract with Jeanblanc International Inc. The new 10-year contract permits Jeanblanc to pump 43 million gallons of water monthly from the CambrianOrdovician aquifer which underlies most of the upper Midwest including the LRA properties owned by JBI. Permission to pump the water is contingent on an aquifer study to be performed by the Illinois State Water Survey and will determine the date, if any, for the pumping to begin and will also be used to monitor for impact on the surrounding communities.

JBI holds patents and has developed new oil technologies including a desulfurization process and an improved steam-oil ratio ciency of oil recovery based on steam injection. The company currently owns nine 11,000 sq. ft. buildings on 50 acres with rail frontage at the former depot and is considering purchase of another 104 acres with

an additional 88,000 sq. ft. of warehouse space to meet expansion needs.

“Jeanblanc will be looking at using our existing [water] system for the project and 43 million gallons is the minimum they want a month,” said LRA Executive Director Mara Roche.

Board member Ron Smith questioned the contract and was the sole nay vote when the contract was granted.

“With everything that’s been going on with water levels not just in our area, but nationwide, I think we need further discussion with the Illinois State Water Survey,” “said Smith.

“We need to know the depth of the study. We want to know what they will study, not just go down and measure some wells. We need to know if what we are trying to do here is actually feasible. The study is very important because the amount of water you are talking about drawing out of

the board about the future of the facility.

LRA Executive Director and the OEA reps had spent the majority of the day touring and discussing the future of the facility.

“We’ve been discussing clean up issues with the Army and we spoke with people at USDA World Development,” said Roche.

“We spoke with the Port Authority folks on their interests; all in the interest of learning what potential we have for future funding here at the LRA.”

Jo-Carroll Energy representative Peggy Francomb has received reports of a scam in which the caller claims payment is needed or that power would be shut off that afternoon.

If an account goes unpaid, the cooperative’s own billing or member service department sends a delin-

She said the cooperative was alerted to the scam by members who had received calls and were concerned because they had recently paid their bills.

Prescription, OTC Drug Take Back First State Bank supports community program rolled out in Carroll County businesses like Tee Lee Popcorn.

By TOM KOCAL Prairie Advocate TKocal@prairieadvocate.com

MOUNT CARROLL – Six more drop boxes to collect unwanted or outdated prescription and over-the-counter drugs will soon be available throughout Carroll County, thanks to the efforts of the Carroll County Substance Education Coalition.

Carol Geary, Drug Free

Communities Grant project director with CCSEC, said the organization was awarded fundingto initiate its “Count It, Lock It, Drop It” campaign.

“We want to work with our communities to make it easier for people to dispose of these unused drugs in an environmentally safe way, rather than flushing them down the toilet. Our public water supplies will be free from contamina-

tion,” Geary said.

“The drop boxes will also help to ensure a healthy, safe, and substance-free community, keeping these drugs off the street and out of the hands of youth and adults who may abuse them, as well as protecting elderly adults who may be vulnerable by holding on to these substances.”

WEST CARROLL SCHOOLS

District, Thomson discuss building offer details Public feedback sought during meeting tonight

By MICHAEL MILLER For Prairie Advocate MOUNT CARROLL – The West Carroll School Board’s Facility Committee met with members of the Village of Thomson Board on Jan. 5, discussing the district’s offer to sell the Intermediate School Building and adjacent properties to the village for a price of $100,000, via an intergovernmental agreement set up in 2012.

District Superintendent Craig Mathers reviewed the existing agreement, saying that an addendum had been placed on the agreement regarding the Melon Days property and two adjacent baseball diamonds, both of which were given to the village. A right purchasing the building from the district, was also part of the 2012 correspondence.

Thomson Mayor Vicki Trager said one main concern was if the residents of Thomson and York Township wanted to pursue a separate agreement to take over the third baseball

diamond area, regardless of whether they decide to purchase the building or not. She asked if the board had a separate price for that ball diamond. Some board representatives seemed to indicate that while they didn’t have set price, it would be a nominal price.

She also wondered if a survey would be necessary if part of the area were purchased rather than all of them together. She said she’d been approached by the Thomson Youth baseball who were very interested in the third ball diamond.

Mathers noted that there are three parcels of land related to this property. The ball diamonds and playground, which were Parcel 1, the bus barn and fuel tanks, which were Parcel 2, and the building itself plus parking lots, Parcel 3. He said he didn’t feel it was in either the village or the district’s interest to move the fuel tanks.

Kilpatrick said she felt that the board would be amenable to the village acquiring Parcel 1, regardless if they made a purchase offer for the other parcels. In such an arrangement, the district would retain Parcel 2 and would then need an easement to access water and sewer lines.

Questions also arose about

Thomson Town Hall meeting tonight The Village of Thomson Board of Trustees will have a Town Hall meeting at 6:30 p.m. today in the West Carroll Intermediate School gymnasium in Thomson, to discuss the West Carroll Board of Education offer to sell the West Carroll Intermediate School facility to the Village of Thomson for $100,000. Residents of Thomson, York Township, and interested persons are encouraged to attend. Call Vicky Bealer Trager, village president, at 815-259-3700 for more information. tions would be applied to the district’s offer to the village.

Facilities Committee Chairman Beverly Kilpatrick said that the district would want to take anything from the building that had an educational purpose. Other items would be auctioned off, she said, and what didn’t sell would be disposed of. She said that the committee had anticipated a closing date of sometime in June and that the building would be empty before that date.

Mathers said that presently four tables were left in the kitchen, and that the batting cage would be moved.

Kilpatrick said the district “doesn’t anticipate using the building” for any purpose.

any surveys done, Kilpatrick Facilities Committee member Mike Highland wondered if an addendum could be added to the existing agreement whereby the ball diamonds and playground could be given to the village in return for their paying for the survey, but Village Attorney Colleen Buckwalter said she

thought a new agreement would need to be drafted for this purpose. Highland also emphasized there were no plans to “gut” the building.

Trager said she wanted to publicly address some misperceptions that had been circulating that she had been “working a deal to take this building and then turn around and sell it and make “There is no way the villet me do it, even if I was thinking about it, which I’m not,” she said. “The only reason the village board would take on an undertaking of this size and expense would be to retain some part of it for the good of the community, the use of the

kids, the people who live in this area.

“Obviously, there would need to be a way to make it support itself, so yes, I’ve been talking to many people about whether they would be interested in coming in to lease some or part of it. But by no means am I in the business of make a buck out of this.”

“Whatever happens,” Trager said, “in the future, with this property, should it go up for auction . . . I would like the board to consider that behind this property, whatever use it becomes, and whomever it should end up being ultimately purchased by, needs to co-exist in a friendly manner with a city park.”

Chase Wilhelms standout lineman at Wartburg TOM KOCAL Prairie Advocate

TKocal@prairieadvocate.com

WAVERLY, Iowa — Former Eastland standout Chase Wilhelms, Shannon, was named an NCAA Division III All-American by D3Football.com as an offensive lineman for Wartburg College.

He becomes the 41st All-American in program 2010.

“Chase possessed a combination of size, power, athleticism and intelligence which Chase Wilhelms allowed him to be a complete offensive lineman,” said head coach Rick Willis.

“I don’t think you will in a student athlete then Chase,” said Patrick Toohey, assistant football coach. “He is not only a 3-year starter, 2-time 1st All-IIAC, 1st All West Region, and 1st All-American Offensive Lineman, he is also a 3-time

All-IIAC Academic Selection, 2-time All-District Academic Team Member and also has cumulative GPA of 3.81.”

Wilhelms said he was shocked to earn the recognition.

“I never anticipate receiving any honors. It’s great to get them, but I never count on them. I judge my success by how our skill players are doing.”

Wilhelms’ contribution to the success of the Knights was evident. He started every game for a team that was 9-1 overall, 6-1 in the IIAC, and received the

edition of the d3football. com Top 25 poll and No.

AFCA Top 25 poll.

At the guard position, Wilhelms allowed just one sack in two seasons (23 games) and was a threeyear starter and two-time First-team All-Conference selection. in the individual success of his teammates. Wartburg quarterback, Illinois native Logan Schrader, passed for over 2,700 yards, while three players rushed for over 300 yards and four others had over 400 receiving yards.

Brown said he thinks the vision of the LRA is focused in a positive direction.

“The plan for a world class transportation hub is a very good vision,” said Brown.

“Unfortunately, the LRA has been put into a position, through no fault of their own, of agencies butting heads on issues that would have allowed the transfer of properties to them. Both state senators had representatives on the property today and I think that will speak volumes about the future of the facility.”

Musil asked the LRA to ing their plans for the could be reviewed and then forwarded to the Technical Review Committee.

“What OEA does is to help communities that have been impacted by Department of Defense actions,” said Musil. “The action here in Savanna was the closure of the depot and that had a on the community. Our job is to try to bring technical assistance in the form of a grant to the community.”

She said the Army’s initial focus involved environmental cleanup of the facility, but that has since changed.

“The reason the Army has changed their mind on that project is they were allowed

to consolidate environmental funding from previous years and actually look back to 1995, which was when the depot was closed, and apply those other years of funding to that,” Musil said.

“So, what used to be a little pot of money for the work here has become larger allowing the Army to do the cleanup themselves.”

The prospect of the Army taking over the depot cleanup project opens the door for the facility to proceed with its plan for barge access and other redevelopment that had been formerly placed on hold pending completion of an LRA led cleanup.

“Our plan now is to look into the feasibility of barge access and in addition to that move ahead with a redevelopment plan,” Musil said. “The current LRA redevelopment plan is 10 to 15 years old and it is possible if there is enough money to also do a marketing analysis. The idea is could be the redevelopment of the depot.”

After hearing a presentation from TECDA Executive Director Lisa McCarthy outlining her organization’s accomplishment over the past year and requesting renewal of a contract for continued services, the board voted to renew its membership with TECDA. The LRA Board of Directors will next meet at 3 p.m. on Feb. 2.

LANARK – A school employee reported a gaslike odor in the hallway area just outside the boiler room at Eastland Junior/ Senior High School around 9:30 a.m. Friday.

Superintendent Mark Hansen said when he and Principal Monica Burkholder were called to the area, the smell of gas was noticeable enough that they followed school emergency procedures for evacuation in the event of a gas leak.
