Plans call for former bank building in St. Charles to be razed for ... - Shaw Local

Plans call for tearing down a former bank building next to the Foxfield Commons shopping center on St. Charles' east side to make way for an Andy's Frozen Custard store and a Physicians Immediate Care center.

The St. Charles Plan Commission will hold a public hearing on the plans at 7 p.m. June 7 in the City Council chambers of the Municipal Building at 2 E. Main St.

Eric Dams, on behalf of GW St. Charles LLC, has submitted plans to raze the vacant bank building at 2600 E. Main St. and build an Andy's Frozen Custard store with a drive-through and a Physicians Immediate Care center.

This would be the first Andy's Frozen Custard store in the Tri-Cities. The closest one is on South Randall Road in Elgin.

Andy's Frozen Custard has more than 100 locations in 14 states and bills itself as being the largest dessert-only franchise in the world. Physicians Immediate Care offers both urgent care and occupational health services.

At a St. Charles City Council Planning and Development Committee meeting in October, the majority of St. Charles aldermen did not believe the site was the best location for a Casey's General Store and gas station. The majority of aldermen recommended not approving the plans. Plans had called for the former bank building to be razed and a 4,600-square-foot convenience store to be built as part of the project, which also would have included a gas station with eight fuel pumps (16 fuel positions). Casey's sells made-from-scratch pizza and is the fifth-largest pizza chain in the U.S.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — An outbreak of the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus in poultry in 2014-15 resulted in the destruction of more than 50 million chickens and turkeys in the U.S., causing billions of dollars in economic loss. This animal disease outbreak — the worst in U.S. history — is one example of how devastating a foreign animal disease can be to animal agriculture and the country's economy. The resurgence of avian influenza in multiple states, including Pennsylvania, is once again bringing the importance of preventing animal diseases to the forefront, noted Suresh Kuchipudi, clinical professor of microbiology in Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences. Exploring the emergence, spread and control of animal infectious diseases such as avian influenza was the focus of the inaugural Emerging Animal Infectious Disease Conference held Nov. 29-Dec.1, 2021, at Penn State. It was hosted by the College of Agricultural Sciences, the Pennsylvania Department of A

dented can botulism :: Article Creator Three Canadians Sickened In France's Botulism Outbreak Are From Quebec: PHAC The Public Health Agency of Canada has confirmed that the three Canadians who fell ill in a botulism outbreak in France are from Quebec. They're among at least 12 people who have suspected botulism after eating sardines prepared and served at Tchin Tchin Wine Bar in Bordeaux, France. The food was eaten between Sept. 4 and Sept. 10. The Associated Press has reported that some patients have been released from hospital, but most of them are in intensive care or critical condition. Canada's public health agency says it cannot divulge the condition of the patients from Quebec because it is considered private health information.
