Village OKs work to make wells better

Jr. Ambassadors need your help

Replacement of one well, fixes to another ahead

By TONY CARTON For Prairie Advocate SHANNON – One well will be repaired, while equipment on another will be replaced.

Once the work, expected to cost about $85,000, is completed, both wells will be operating like new, the Shannon Village Board was told during its meeting June 2.

The wells are part of the village’s aging four-well water system, which has seen a recent and dramatic decrease in production.

Cahoy Group evaulated the pumping equipment, and regional manager Ernie to the board.

He said equipment replacement on well 1 will cost between $23,000 and $24,000. Well 2 is a bit more of a project, he said, and inspection “was quite the exciting time.”

The well was pumping 88 gallons a minute, Lilja said, between one-half and one-third of what it should be pumping.

“All that water was cascading in from the pump’s top side and the positioning of the intake on the

Shannon to begin regulating solicitors In other business, the board passed an ordinance authorizing the village to license, tax, regulate or prohibit peddlers, solicitors, itinerate vendors and transient merchants.

Effective immediately, all peddlers and solicitors are required to register and obtain a license from the village clerk before engaging in any sales or solicitations in the village. pump and the pumping level of the water made it about the same as hooking an aerator to the pump,” he said.

Aerating water adds air, or oxygen, to the water, forming bubbles – or “white water” – that dissipates.

A second major issue, Lilja said, is pump cavitation – the formation and subsequent implosion of vapor bubbles. The gas bubbles affect the pump’s operating pressure and wasted expanding bubbles instead of bringing more liquid into the pump.

“Also, when we ran a camera down there we thought it was only going to be set at 240 feet as is shown in the records, but it ended up being down at 620

to the bottom, we found a string of drilling tools and pipes with couplers buried in the sediment.”

He said the debris found in the well limits its depth and affects its efficiency.

Lilja assured the board there are no health risks associated with leaving the tools and pipes in the well.

“Part of the reason production has dropped on that well is because part of the water that should be coming in from that side is being blocked by the silt and everything else that’s down there,” Lilja said.

He said there are several remedies and suggested air bursting, a more economical process than digging a new well (about $600,000) that would still provide a viable and lasting solution.

Air bursting is a relatively common practice that uses compressed air to produce a 12-inch bubble that expands with enough force to fracture water bearing formations and create bigger Lilja also recommended putting a sleeve over the well’s new pump to force water down and around the pump to keep it operating at maximum

A SAVANNA WHODUNIT

The killings of Pulford and Berry brought to stage SAVANNA — Daniel S. Berry was an able lawyer and politician. He was murdered in front of his the Pulford Building, May 22, 1905. The news spread gathered about the scene of the tragedy vainly trying mysterious assassin, who after committing the horrible deed, made his escape without anyone seeing him.

Bothwell Pulford was a progressive man who assisted in the development

of Savanna. About 1850, he built a large house where the Savanna Public Library now stands, quarrying the rock and hewing all the timber used in construction.

On May 25, just 3 days after the murder of Berry, Pulford, dressed in his best suit, lost his life!

Writer/director Al Cairo has assembled a cast of local and area actors who will portray the two men and other townspeople in the drama, “The Killing of Pulford and Berry.”

The original play will be presented Friday though Sunday at the Savanna

Museum and Cultural Center, 406 Main St. Prior to the performances, tours of the Opera House, now owned by Jerry and Vicky Gendreau, will be held from 5 to 6:30 p.m.

Friday and Saturday, and from noon until 1:30 p.m.

Sunday. Saturday, tours of the former Berry mansion are being offered between noon and 4 p.m. Present owners, Eli and Rodney Burick-Young, will welcome guests on Saturday only.

Berry served two terms in the state Legislature, several occasions.

HANOVER

An article found in the Sterling Library Collections, source unknown, about 1913, reported, “Mr. Berry was a man of marked ability, one of the ablest and shrewdest lawyers at the Carroll County bar and at one time had a promising political future before him had he rightly and wisely preserved it. He was the attorney for the Milwaukee and St. Paul railway at the time of his death and was connected with the biggest lawsuits ever held in Carroll County.”

He had assisted in the prosecution of the Marcus train robbers and other

criminals, and had made enemies, whose friends could have taken revenge.

According to the Historical Encyclopedia of Illinois,

by Newton Bateman and Paul Selby, and “History of Carroll County,” Pulford was a hard working man who never spared himself and was noted for his business judgment and ability.

He accumulated considerable wealth. Among his accomplishments, he bought built in the city, and later installed a larger plant in the opera house building.

The town was rife with

rumors 110 years ago. Who killed Daniel Berry? Was the assailant a former convict who Berry had prosecuted, or was it Bothwell Pulford, once a dear animosity? Why did Pulford die?

Performances will be at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. A minimum donation of $5 will be appreciated.

For more information, email Jean Ferris at jean. ferris@mchsi.com, or call the Savanna Museum and Cultural Center at 815-2730314.

This workshop is for all age groups and will be held at the center, 7071 Riverview Road in Thomson.

“There are usually several hatches throughout the summer, but generally the big hatch is in July,” Steinhaus said. “Water temperature plays a huge role very short lived, from 12 to 24 hours.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Casey’s General Store breaks ground in Lanark Store scheduled to open Oct. 18

By TOM KOCAL Prairie Advocate TKocal@prairieadvocate.com

LANARK – It’s a small town, so everyone has known a Casey’s General Store will be coming to Lanark. until the real estate deal closed and contracts were signed. Now, site work has begun on the northwest corner of state routes 64 and 73. A 3,300-square-foot convenience store and gas station is slated for opening Oct. 18.

On June 2, local subcontractor Fischer Excavating in Freeport started removing about 300 loads of topsoil to get the site down to grade.

“A retaining wall will be built next, on the north side

of the site, and wrap around the building.” said Jordan Way, project manager with Septagon Construction in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. “Then the fuel tanks will be put in and the building constructed at the same time.”

Fuel tank delivery is scheduled for mid-July, when, if all goes well, the ready. Once construction begins, there will be a roof on the building within 10 days.

“Usually, we turn the building over to the setup crew on a Monday, and by that Friday, everything will be ready to open,” Way said. “We build all the interior shelving, so it’s just a matter of Casey’s’ 20 people to stock the store, do training of the new employees, then in a day or two, after we make sure all the bugs are worked out, we turn it over to Casey’s.”

-

lyst with Casey’s General Store, said the Lanark store will be nearly double the size of the company’s original “legacy” stores, and will employ 25 to 30 people, depending on whether the store will be open 24 hours, or offer pizza delivery, available at some locations.

That decision will be made closer to opening.

The Lanark store will have 14 cooler doors with a pumps and a separate diesel fuel island.

“We’ll also be selling our made-to-order sub sandwiches and made-fromscratch pizza,” James said.

He said employment applications are available at Caseys.com on the careers link, and there is an email link for questions. Applications also are available at any Casey’s store in the area.

“We look forward to being in Lanark,” James said.

The convenience store and gas station is scheduled to open Oct. 18. (PA photo/Tom Kocal) Lanark Mayor John Huggins reviewed the site with Way on Friday, and was pleased to see the project begin.

“I am so excited to see this, and other new invest-

ments in our community,” Huggins said. “We have been hearing about all the growth planned for a while.

But it’s great to see the transformations becoming a reality.

“And it’s good to see they are using some local subcontractors, such as Fischer Excavating. Most of the time, larger corporations will bring in contractors and materials from outside the area.”

STATE LEGISLATURE

BY CHRISTI WARREN For Prairie Advocate cwarren@saukvalley.com

STERLING – A bill that will help domestic violence victims get back on their feet after leaving their abusers is now headed to the Gov. Bruce Rauner for his signature.

The bill, co-sponsored by state Rep. Mike Smiddy, D-Hillsdale, is focused on extending the amount of time victims of domestic violence have to become before making an initial deposit for utility bills.

Carol Fitzgerald, executive director of the YWCA of the Sauk Valley, said that will be a great thing for domestic violence victims, both locally and statewide.

“Domestic violence victims are often victims of economic abuse,” she said.

“So, that means that a bad economic record can follow them. Then, what happens is, when people have a bad economic record and they go out to look for separate housing or go out to sign up for utilities, they’re not able to get that.

“Sometimes the abuser takes out credit in their name and ruins their credit, and so having more time to pay those utility bills, that’s a Fitzgerald said it was common for victims to come to the YWCA for help in getting back on moving from an abusive living arrangement can keep people in dangerous situations,” Smiddy said in a news release. “As state leaders, we need to take

“This is a great step toward helping people move forward out of abusive relationships and into a positive future,” Fitzgerald said.

LANARK – This summer, four area farmers markets will be a place where you can buy – and learn how to grow and cook — fresh, locally-grown produce.

Master Gardeners in Carroll and Whiteside counties will spend the summer attending local farmers markets to share their knowledge about growing and preparing different kinds of vegetables and offering new recipe cards.

On June 20, Master Gardeners will discuss Swiss chard from 8 a.m. to noon at the Sterling Farmers Market, 106 Avenue A in downtown Sterling; and from 8 a.m. to noon at the Mount Carroll Farmers Market, on the brick streets in downtown Mount Carroll.

The Master Gardeners will be in Morrison from 8 to 11 a.m. June 27 at the Morrison Farmers Market, in the Whiteside County parking lot behind 204 E. Lincolnway.

Some sites will have samples of the recipe available to try.

The Sterling and Mount Carroll farmers markets will host the Master Gardeners the third Saturday of each month, and the Morrison Farmers Market on the fourth Saturday of each month. The Lanark Farmers Market, from 3 to 6 p.m. every Tuesday in Lanark City Park, has set a tentative schedule for the second Tuesday of the month.

Project expected to be done this summer VITA PLUS

CONTINUED FROM A14

“The unloading process won’t be affected by the weather, because trucks will be able to back into the center bay, and the auger leg will be extended and product loaded into the overhead bins, which will hold our most-used products.”

Asche said the bin cluster will allow Vita Plus to utilize more bulk products,

saving mixing time.

“Ingredients will be mixed automatically instead of by hand,” he said. “It saves us time, which is better for our customers in the long run.

“The new system will eliminate the grain dust for the neighborhood, and for our ag partners – the farmers.”

Asche said the project is expected to be completed this summer.

LANARK

Suzuki line added to Eastland Motor Sports Grand opening set for Saturday

By TOM KOCAL Prairie Advocate

TKocal@prairieadvocate.com

LANARK – After more than 30 years in the recreational equipment business, starting with a Suzuki dealership in Freeport, Jeff Lessman and Suzuki have come full circle.

Eastland Motor Sports is having a grand opening from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, when it will introduce Suzuki motorcycles and ATVs. “I was service manager at a Freeport dealership, and for 2 years running we won the ‘Super Service’ award for outstanding customer service for my department,” Lessman said. “They closed over 25 years ago. There hasn’t been any Suzuki representation here in Northwest Illinois for a long time. We’re excited to build that back up.”

Lessman said he opened an independent repair shop in Freeport in 1988, selling

Jeff and Patricia Lessman have owned and operated Eastland Motor Sports on state Route 64 since 2008.

They have added the entire Arctic Cat line, Kimco scooters and sideby-sides, Dixie Chopper lawn mowers, Forest River trailer line, and now, the Suzuki lineup.

“We are offering the whole Suzuki product line,”

Lessman said. “Everything from the fastest ‘crotch rocket’ to the fastest dirt bike, their ATVs motorcycles, everything!”

Lessman said the Lanark location for Suzuki products will be the hub for Northwest Illinois and parts of eastern Iowa and southern Wisconsin.

“We have a great market area. Eastland Motor Sports is not just a local company, we’re interstate. We’ve sold machines as far away as

Indiana, Michigan, Iowa and Wisconsin.”

Lessman said they are looking for more qualipeople, but current staff has gone through retraining for Suzuki products, from computer software to the service department.

“We’re up and running right now,” he said.

“We’re available to order special parts, and we have integrated a shipment of products into our parts

department already. If we don’t have a certain machine you’re looking for here, we can access our locator service. And, we are 100 percent capable of doing any warranty work on any machines right now.”

Lessman, who was born in Lanark and graduated from Lanark High School, said, “It’s an exciting time for our town.” He was referencing several developments underway – a new

Casey’s General Store, a new showroom for Eastland Fabrication, a telepharmacy, and several others in early stages.

“I am very pleased to be able to help the community by providing jobs and added sales tax revenue,” Lessman said. “And when customers from around the area come to us, they stop and spend money in town, too. Buying gas, eating at our restaurants, it’s a good thing all around.”

Community fundraiser means good food

By GLORIA YODER Last week, our church joined together in preparing an Amish meal that was to be served at the community hall in the town of Robinson, Illinois. Several times each year, we do this as a fundraiser for our parochial school or to help pay hospital bills. These suppers are a highlight for all of us.

The meal is planned by the school board, then the ladies are assigned to prepare a certain dish. This time I was asked to make pecan pies. My husband, Daniel, was delighted. He knows that I never bake pies without making his favorite kind, apricot! I will share my recipe for that in a future column.

We generally aim to have enough food for 250-300 people. We have a full course Amish meal. This time, the meal consisted of mashed potatoes, dressing, gravy, noodles, grilled chicken, ham, tossed salad with homemade dressing, and four kinds of fresh bread with homemade apple butter and peanut butter spread.

And for the dessert?

Mmmm, it just hit the spot. We weren’t lacking,

with six kinds of pie and ice cream. In all, it took 55 pies, which included pecan, lemon, and several different fruit pies. I chose to eat lemon pie – one of my favorites. It’s always a refreshing treat.

Supper is served from 7 to 8 p.m. Upon arriving, each guest makes a free will donation. Then they go into the with items of their choice.

The Amish youth and youth leaders are also there to help serve the meal.

Before I was married, that was something I always anticipated and thoroughly enjoyed. I love the interaction with the people who come to our suppers.

Yes, it does take lots of planning, organizing, and hard work. Yet it’s well worth it. It also gives us the

opportunity to get to know and mingle with folks in the area that we otherwise would never get the chance to meet.

Several times throughout the evening, some of the youth or whoever isn’t needed with serving gather in a little group on the side and sing several songs for those in attendance.

I love being there. From listening to the songs (or sometimes helping the singers) to eating the scrumptious meal, or chatting with friends, it’s all great.

By the end of the evening, everyone is ready to have the last dirty dishes cleaned, dried, and packed away. It can be quite taxing, but many hands make work light.
