Coleman: ‘We will get noticed’ EDCNCI seats board By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com
The Economic Development Corporation of North Central Illinois (EDCNCI) has officially sat its board of directors and will hold its first meeting on Wednesday, March 23, in Peru. Board members were elected to represent Bureau, LaSalle and Putnam counties, along with the private sector. Representing Bureau County is Keith Cain and
Debb Ladgenski. Representing Putnam County is Kevin Coleman. Representing LaSalle County is Jill Bernal, Robert Eschbach and Don Finley. Representing the private sector is Scott Stavrakas, Steve Aubry, Jim Riley, Steve Nelson, Joni Hunt, Brad Bruins and Dan Aussem. At the first meeting, board members will have a chance to get to know one another and will elect officers for the board including chair and vice chair. According to Coleman, each officer will
Calvin Tussey, process board operator at Marquis Energy, is able to monitor every aspect of the corn to ethanol fermentation process from his station at the Hennepin ethanol plant. Marquis Energy took seven and one-half years to produce 1 billion gallons of ethanol. With the addition of their new facility they expect to reach the 2 billion milestone by 2020. See more on Page 2.

hold a two-year term. The rest of the board will hold a three-year term. A lottery will take place to avoid members leaving the board at once. The EDCNCI Board will also soon be looking to hire a recruiter to begin its search for an executive director, who will be in charge of making contacts with businesses all over the U.S. and beyond to see about bringing them to North Central Illinois. Coleman said it’s his hope that person will be hired and working for the group
no later than this fall. Cain, who was appointed by the Bureau County Board to serve on the EDCNCI, is looking forward to representing the Bureau County area and hopes the board can become unified. “Any kind of industry in this region will help everyone, and I think this will be a good way to get us all together,” he said. Cain pointed out how the board is not only made up of governmental representation, but also local businesses from the private sector, which puts a broader per-
spective on the area. “What is best for certain locations will be what we promote for that area … If we can all work together as a group, I think it just makes a lot bigger statement,” he said. “A lot of people have invested good money into this.” Coleman, who was appointed by the Putnam County Board, has been a part of the EDCNCI since before its inception. Coleman was apart of the planning process when EDCNCI was just an idea, and he sat on the interim

From the crop to the tank ... Marquis Energy hits 1 billion gallon milestone
By Dave Cook

HENNEPIN — Since April 20, 2008, Marquis Energy has been producing ethanol in Putnam County. Seven and one-half years later, through the continuous enhancement of their production method, the team at Marquis Energy — approximately 150 people, reached the milestone of having produced one billion gallons of ethanol. Everyone knows it’s an ethanol plant and has seen the endless parade of trucks traveling to and from the facility or the barges regularly working their way down the river, but what about having an understanding of what actually happens there? Marquis Energy produces more than just ethanol. The process of making ethanol creates additional opportunities for marketable products. They also make use of every advantage Putnam County has to offer an industry located within its borders: Easy interstate access, rail roads, the Illinois River and manpower from throughout the area. Jeff Peterson, president and director of risk management, said, “That’s our strength here, the logistics. Being located on the Illinois River is a huge key to our success.” The process
The transition from corn to ethanol begins as the corn, from as far away as 60 miles, is loaded into one of the roughly 300 to 400 trucks per day traveling into the plant. Those trucks deliver a total of 300,000-400,000 bushels of corn per day. After being weighed at the entrance, the corn is unloaded and directed into storage silos. The plant can store up to 2.4 million bushels, enough for approximately six to seven days worth of ethanol production. After the corn is taken out of storage, it travels by conveyor to the hammer mill where it’s ground into a flour. From there, the flour is mixed with water and enzymes to create a mash that begins the chemical process of breaking down the starch into simple sugars. This helps prepare the corn for efficient fermentation, and optimized fermentation leads to increased yield and profitability. The mix enters a slurry tank for retention time to allow the enzymes time to work. The corn mash absorbs heat from the 200-degree cook water, so to maintain the optimum 185 degree temperature for the enzymes, the mixture travels through steam-powered jet heaters. The heat provides a physical process of breaking down the starch. Andy Rowe, process manager, said, “After more retention time and enzymes, an operator

will send yeast into the tank and let it grow and reproduce for about eight hours before we fill the ferment tank with the mash mixture.” Fermentation is the biological process which converts sugars into cellular energy, producing ethanol and carbon dioxide as a result. Some ethanol plants sell the carbon dioxide to industries which have a need for it, such as beverage companies, providing the plant with another product and revenue source. “We don’t sell our CO2, the logistics for us to reach a viable market do not work out favorably, so we do not market it,” said Peterson. Marquis’ typical fermentation time is about two days. “You might hear in the alcoholic beverage industry of fermentation times of weeks or months, but we don’t have that kind of time. We add a lot to help it out, enzymes and yeast propagation come into play,” Rowe said. When the fermentation process is finished the mixture is typically 16 percent alcohol by weight. From one of the 16 fermentation tanks, the blend travels through three columns of distillation. Distillation is the action of purifying a liquid through a process of evaporation and condensation.

board before being elected to the board of directors. To see how the organization has grown in the last year and one half, he said it’s been “fantastic.” “Forming the board is another hurdle we’ve gotten over in the planning stages,” he said. For Coleman, the EDCNCI has the potential to bring industry and jobs to the area to benefit the economy and people of North Central Illinois.

LOSTANT — With the lost revenue from landlines eating away at the town’s finances, Lostant expects a cell phone tax to help pick up the slack. During its Monday, March 14, meeting, the Lostant Village Board approved the proposed ordinance to tax cellular phones. The board has been discussing the possibility of taxing cell phones in the same manner as other towns, based off the cost of a household’s basic plan. Prior to this meeting, the document had been drawn up, so everything was ready for a vote. “I think we can vote on this,” said Trustee Jack Immel, noting that some members were not present. “We have a quorum.” The issue went to a vote, and the ordinance passed. In other discussion, resident Karol Hetrick came before the board to discuss her concerns with the town. In short, Lostant should be growing, but it is not. The board explained they have no real control in her particular complaints, such as various businesses closing down or going elsewhere. Also Immel applauded Mitch McCaw at the meeting. “Could I recognize Mitch for the award he got?” Immel asked. He directed his next statement to Mitch McCaw, who was in attendance: “I think they’re calling you Mr. Aquaman now.”

“One separates the liquids from the solids, which then go to a different part of the plant. The other two columns refine the liquids into 190 proof alcohol, the most you can distill before you start to boil off too much water. To get to 200 proof (or 100 percent alcohol) we use molecular sieves. They’re big enough for water molecules, but not for ethanol. We put it under pressure, and it gets squeezed through and removes the last 5 percent of water. The water removed goes back into the distillation process. The ethanol is also denatured with gasoline to make it unfit for consumption,” Rowe said. The separated solids are sent to the dryer building where they travel through a centrifuge. After the centrifuge the solids are a wet cake called wet distillers grains with solubles (WDGS) with an approximately 60 percent moisture level and are usable as animal feed. Due to the level of moisture and chance for spoilage, the WDGS is not suitable for export and typically remains in the local area. The solids designated for export leave the centrifuge and travel through a set of three dryers, each removing more moisture. The 60 percent moisture of the WDGS is lowered to about 11 percent. These solids are called dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) and are suitable for export as animal feed after an additional step. “The water that’s spun out of the centrifuges goes through a series of evaporators and basically gets boiled down to a syrup. The syrup goes through another set of centrifuges that removes
the corn oil which is then sold to bio-diesel and different entities. The syrup is then added to the DDGS to make it a higher quality product rich in protein and fat. It’s a highly digestible and cost effective feed supplement for livestock,” Rowe said. The people These non-stop and complicated processes are managed and monitored continuously with a state-of-the art control system and a surprisingly small staff considering the size of the operation. Marquis’ production capability has recently doubled since the completion of their new south unit, essentially a mirror image of the north unit. Approximately 25 maintenance people, two lab techs, one chemist, the board operators and others work to ensure the plant runs cleanly, efficiently and is producing the highest quality products possible. Lab technician Mary Ann Kidd said, “We continuously collect various samples from throughout the plant and run various tests. We check moisture levels, sugar analysis, acid levels and more.” Process board operator Calvin Tussey jokingly began by saying he liked to call himself a 21st century moonshiner, but added more seriously, “This is one of the last, truly domestic industries left in the rust belt. I think it makes people feel good that something is expanding in the area.” The finished product The finished ethanol is delivered to one of the six storage tanks, each holding approximately a million gallons. Two of those tanks are near Marquis’ barge terminal. There are barges for both the DDGS and ethanol. Trucks drop loads of the DDGS into a hopper which feeds them up

through a chute and into the barge. As ethanol is loaded into it’s barge, a flare burns off the excess vapors to ensure everyone’s safety. Marquis also delivers ethanol to the marketplace via truck and rail car. According to Bio-diesel Magazine, a truck holds about 7,000 gallons, a rail car roughly 25,000 gallons and a barge is capable of holding approximately 400,000 gallons. This means each barge is the equivalent of 16 rail cars or almost 60 trucks. “We’re constantly taking product out to our barge terminal where our logistics team schedules loads. With the added production from the new facility, we’re going to have to start doing a DDGS barge about six days a week. The ethanol barges will probably be about one a day. We haven’t done a lot of rail in the past, but with the added volume, we’ll be shipping out every month on rail as well, but not as much as we do on barges,” said Rowe. With the new unit having entered production, Marquis Energy expects to be able to produce roughly 800,000 gallons per day and about 300 million gallons per year. They are looking forward to reaching the 2 billion gallon milestone by 2020. Vice President Jason Marquis said, “We are proud of the team here at Marquis energy to have produced over a billion gallons of renewable fuels throughout the past seven and a half years. This accomplishment highlights the hard work and dedication of our team which contributes to our local farm economy and also the world’s energy markets. We appreciate all of the people who have contributed to hitting this milestone and look forward to continuing our business relationships in the Central Illinois area.”

Meet the Buyers event for farmers is March 22 Local, regional food buyers to attend
GENEVA — Farmers throughout Illinois are invited to attend a Meet the Buyers event to meet local and regional food buyers from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. March 22, at the Northern Illinois Food Bank, 273 Dearborn Court, Geneva. Meet the Buyers events are an opportunity for farmers to hear directly from buyers about what it takes to do business with their organizations. Buyers representing retail grocery stores and chains, foodservice distributors, wholesalers and others are invited to participate. “Farmers will hear from several buyers and meet
with them one-on-one so they can begin building working relationships,” said Cynthia Haskins, manager of business development and compliance, Illinois Farm Bureau. “It’s an excellent opportunity for both farmers and retailers.” The following organizations are partnering to support the one-day event: Illinois Farm Bureau, Kane County Farm Bureau, Illinois Department of Agriculture, Northern Illinois Food Bank, Illinois Specialty Growers Association, and several surrounding county Farm Bureaus and University of Illinois Extension offices.

Ottawa Mayor Bob Eschbach (from left to right); Agatha Brennan, representative from the office of State Senator Sue Rezin; State Representative Andy Skoog; LaSalle County Engineer Larry Kinzer; LaSalle County Board Chairman Jerry Hicks and Heritage Harbor Developer Tom Heimsoth participated in a ribbon cutting ceremony for the new ‘Canal Crossover’ access point connecting the I&M Canal Trail with Heritage Harbor Ottawa Resort on Friday, March 11.
New ‘Canal Crossover’ links Heritage Harbor Ottawa Resort to I&M Canal Trail OTTAWA — Heritage Harbor Ottawa Resort, a marina resort community in Illinois’ Starved Rock Country, has announced the addition of a new direct access point between the Illinois and Michigan Canal Trail and the resort’s main entrance on Canal Road (County Road 51) in Ottawa. Dubbed the “Canal Crossover,” the access point is located on a section of the I&M Canal Trail running eastwest between Marseilles and downtown Ottawa. Through collaboration between the city of Ottawa and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, an agreement was developed to allow this safe and convenient access point. “The I&M Canal Trail is a wonderful amenity appreciated by everyone who lives in or visits Starved Rock Country, and we are fortunate to have it nearby running directly parallel to Heritage Harbor,” said Tom Heimsoth, partner and developer of Heritage Harbor Ottawa Resort. “Until now, even though we could see the trail just across Canal Road, the nearest access was nearly a mile away. With the new Canal Crossover, our residents and guests can more easily reach the trail, plus bikers, walkers and snowmobilers using the trail from surrounding areas can safely cross Canal Road to reach our waterfront restaurant at Heritage Harbor, The Red Dog Grill and all the amenities available in the resort.” The I&M Canal Trail was originally the towpath for the Illinois and Michigan Canal, which opened in 1848 and connected Lake Michigan and the Mississippi River to complete the first water route between the East Coast and the Gulf of Mexico. Closed to transportation operations in 1933 following the completion of the Illinois Waterway, the I&M Canal has since been redeveloped for recreational use, including
the conversion of the towpath to a multi-purpose trail for hiking, bicycling and snowmobiling. Today, the I&M Canal Trail runs 61.5 miles between Rockdale and LaSalle, connecting towns such as Utica, Ottawa, Seneca and Morris, and providing access to state parks and historic sites along the route as well as other nearby multipurpose trails including the Rock Run Greenway Trail and the Joliet Junction Trail. LaSalle County will be adding a painted pedestrian crosswalk across Canal Road between the Canal Crossover and the Heritage Harbor Ottawa entrance, along with signs 500 feet prior to the crossing on both sides of Canal Road to alert automotive traffic. Additionally, way-finding signage will be placed along the I&M Canal Trail indicating the new access point. Helping make the Canal Crossover project possible as an improvement and extension of the trail system were city of Ottawa officials, including Ottawa City Commissioner Dan Aussem, as well as Larry Kinzer, county engineer, who managed necessary road improvements to Canal Road. Heritage Harbor Ottawa Resort contributed equipment, manpower and materials for the construction of the crossover, while Widman Excavating provided machinery. Members of Laborers’ Local 393 and Operating Engineers Local 150 also provided labor to perform the work. “There was tremendous support for this project, which goes to show how proud this community is of the recreational opportunities that make this region unique,” said Heimsoth. “We’re happy to have played a part in enhancing a great tourism feature for Starved Rock Country.” For information on Heritage Harbor Ottawa Resort, call 815-433-5000 or visit www.heritageharborottawa.com.

Rezin sponsors drone legislation SPRINGFIELD — State Sen. Sue Rezin (R-Peru) is co-sponsoring legislation to help prevent drugs and cell phones from being smuggled into state prisons by prohibiting the use of unmanned aerial vehicles over prisons. “There are inmates who will do just about anything to sneak drugs or cell phones inside prison walls,” Rezin said. “With the use of drones on the rise, taking this step now sends a strong message that those who plan on flying contraband into our prisons will face serious consequences.” Senate Bill 2344 adds one year of imprisonment to the sentence of a person convicted of bringing contraband
into a prison by drone, in addition to any other penalty handed down by law. Any person who knowingly and intentionally operates a drone below the navigable airspace above a state prison would be guilty of a Class A misdemeanor. Also, a person who knowingly and intentionally captures images or video of a state prison through the operation of a drone would be guilty of a Class 4 felony. “This is ultimately about keeping our prisons safe and our communities safe,” Rezin said. “Banning drones around prisons is that extra step we should take to keep things more secure for everyone.”

Internationally speaking ... The 4-H International Night was a free, public event which was held from 6 to 8 p.m. March 10 in the Illinois Valley Community College gym. Four-H members from around the Illinois Valley studied a variety of international destinations and then had presentations for the public at the event.
Illinois state 4-H robotics competition set for April 23 URBANA — Participants can see what 4-H robotics is all about, tour the University of Illinois campus and meet lots of new people. Several departments on campus will have hands-on displays throughout the event. The competition will be at the Activities and Recreation Center at the university. It is open to the public to visit, however, only registered 4-H clubs may compete. This competition opportunity is free for those members and is open to all 4-H clubs.
Robots will be completing the same type of stunts that occur during a dog agility contest. Rules are available at web.extension.illinois.edu/state4h/events/event. cfm?3=69961.
