The Edwards County Courthouse was cleared and evacuated yesterday morning for about three hours after a report of a suspicious package left near a courthouse door. The Secretary of State Bomb Squad was called to x-ray the unmarked, hand-sealed package, and their inspection found no suspicious items. Courthouse offices were cleared to open near noon, but court cases scheduled for yesterday were continued. 26-year-old Brodey I. Murbarger appeared in Wayne County Circuit Court yesterday morning. His attorney, Christian J. Baril, asked to continue the motion hearing on a change of location for the trial, which had been the purpose for the meeting. Hearing no objection from Assistant Attorney General Myra Yelle-Clark or State's Attorney Kevin Kakac, Judge Michael Molt continued the hearing to July 12th at 10 a.m. Baril said the defense was in the process of gathering evidence in support of its motion for a change of venue, but it was having technical difficulties converting it to the proper format.

Construction of the new McDonald's is scheduled to begin May 2nd and to end in late August.

The Fairfield City Council met last night and tabled the vote on a potential business district. Another vote will be scheduled in June, within 90 days of the public hearing held on the matter before the March 8th council meeting. With the delay, should the district be approved later this year, the one-percent sales tax increase wouldn't take effect until next year. Alderman Tyler Lampley initially motioned to vote on the matter last night, but that motion died for lack of a second. Alderman Gary Moore then motioned to table the matter for a year, saying it isn't the right time to increase taxes. That motion was seconded by Alderman Dewey Eckleberry, but it failed on a 3-4 vote; aldermen Moore, Eckleberry, and Jerry Lisenbee voted yes, and aldermen Lampley, Clifford Reever, Cody Attebery, and Terry Stahl voted no. Alderman Eugene McGill was absent. Atteberry then motioned to vote again within 90 days of the public hearing, and that motion passed 4-3 with the same voting blocs. In other action at last night's council meeting, aldermen approved an agreement with IDNR for $450 annually for gas and water line easements through Atkinson Forest. They also approved the sale of approximately $66,400 in tools and excess inventory to Wayne-White, and they approved the sale of used airpacks to the Strasburg Fire Protection District. About 10 will be sold for $100 each. In his report last night, Mayor Dreith said the USDA and NRCS report they are close in submitting a preliminary feasibility report on flooding problems along Johnson Creek in Fairfield. Early data indicates 55 percent of the watershed, or about 3,200 acres, is now residential property. He said in February FEMA had revised the flooding risk map along the creek. The Illinois State Police has activated an Endangered Missing Person Advisory. The Breese Police Department is asking for assistance in locating 72-year-old Olivia Salanik. She is driving a black 2011 Chevrolet Impala with Illinois license plate WALUNA2 and has a condition placing her in danger. She is described as a 5'2" woman with brown hair and weighing 105 pounds. Anyone with information should contact 911 or the Breese Police Department at (618)594-4555.
