Workers are able to reclaim about 95 percent of the diseased tin, he said. "The government alone is trying to look at ways to save money, instead of always spending money," Holgorsen said. "Well instead of just scrapping out 9 million pounds of tin, which is pretty expensive, they have figured out a way to reprocess that. They have also got a lot of rare metals they want to reprocess that DLA has. They are currently going through their whole stockpile, to see what we can reprocess." The end result is 99.8 percent pure tin, Holgorsen added: "It allows the DLA to sell it for even more money than what it was originally at." The reprocessed tin, shining with a golden tint, is then shipped back to Indiana. DLA's Strategic Materials division uses it to make parts in a variety of defense projects or sells it contractors and other government agencies. The tin pest project has been a boon for Rock Island Arsenal, creating consistent work load on the factory floor. "It's going to take five to seven years," to get through the entire stockpile, Holgorsen said. The arsenal factory has already processed 1.2 million and he anticipates another five years of work. But it's not just about savings, Holgerson said. "In the event of another war, which God I hope we don't have one, they have the stockpile they can get to any Army installation or any vendor they need to get the product to the solider as quickly as possible."

The satellite, which costs about $424 million, is the 10th one to join the Wideband Global Satellite Communication constellation that connects to the Defense Information Systems Network. It was launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida aboard a Delta IV rocket. "Bandwidth capacity and demand continue to increase," said Col. Enrique Costas, project manager for Defense Communications and Army Transmission Systems. "And as we know, WGS is the workhorse of the [Defense Department]." The colonel's office -- which falls under Program Executive Office Enterprise Information Systems, or PEO EIS -- manages strategic satellite and terrestrial communications programs worth over $3 billion.

To me this is an object lesson in the complexity of our pay systems.” The 1.9 percent retroactive pay raise was part of the 2019 spending bill President Donald Trump signed into law back on Feb. 15. Federal employee unions and members of Congress have been asking for updates on the timing of the raise for weeks. Weichert, who also serves as the acting director of the Office of Personnel Management, said she understands that federal employees are frustrated that they haven’t seen the raise, or a lump sum representing retroactive pay for the first three months of the year, reflected in their checks yet.

Mayors to Sign Historic Agreement with Rock Island Arsenal On Thursday, March 28, the mayors of Rock Island and Moline will sign the first- ever intergovernmental agreement between their cities and Rock Island Arsenal, to provide refuse and recycle collection services to the installation. The signing ceremony will be 9 a.m., Thursday, in the Eagle Point housing area at the Arsenal. Mayors Stephanie Acri and Make Thoms will sign along with RIA Garrison Commander Col. Stephen C. Marr. The ceremony culminates a five-month effort by Installation Management Command that brought together installation and community stakeholders in a plan that benefits all, and leverages the strengths of federal, state, and local governments. The Army Community Partnership program, which provided the basis for the agreement, has proven success in producing a wide range of mutually beneficial partnerships between communities and military installations. Rock Island Arsenal is committed to enhancing Army readiness and building positive, mutually beneficial relationships with the communities surrounding the installation. Vietnam War – 50th Anniversary Commemorative Ceremony The Rock Island National Cemetery will host the Vietnam War – 50th Anniversary Commemorative Ceremony on Friday, March 29, at 10 a.m. This ceremony, held annually on National Vietnam War Veterans Day, will consist of the following elements coordinated by Vietnam Veterans of America Quad Cities Chapter 299, and possibly other local chapters.

    Page 1 of 10 Request for Qualifications/Proposals Public Art Master Plan – Moline, IL September 10, 2019 Summary: The City of Moline (City), in partnership with Renew Moline, a 501(C)(3) non-profit economic development entity (Renew), is soliciting qualifications and proposals for the development of a Public Art Master Plan. The partners intend to develop a Public Art Master Plan for the downtown Moline area to enhance the urban experience and provide an attractive environment for new development. Background: With a population of approximately 45,000, Moline is the largest city in Rock Island County, Illinois. It is one of the Quad Cities, four mid-sized midwestern cities that straddle the Mississippi River, 165 miles west of Chicago. With its neighboring cities of Bettendorf, Iowa; Davenport, Iowa and Rock Island, Illinois, the area population is almost 400,000, the largest urban area between Minneapolis and St. Louis. Moline’s local economy has a strong corporate presence, including John Deere and KONE, Inc. A recent two-phase, $48 million expansion of Western Illinois University has added a new state university campus to the downtown riverfront. Nearby, IH Mississippi Valley Credit Union construction of its $26m headquarters is scheduled for completion this fall. Downtown hosts the John Deere Pavilion, a visitor and discovery center; as well as a number of national chain hotels and commercial developments. A portion of downtown Moline is a National Register Historic District.

  • Moline, IL August 16Th 2017 Steamwheelers Return with a New
    Moline, IL August 16th 2017 Steamwheelers Return with a New Look, New Owners & New League Nearly a decade has passed since the Quad City Steamwheelers played their final game at iWireless Center, but the future of Professional Indoor Football in Quad Cities made a huge step forward today. An ownership group with area roots announced today that the Quad City Steamwheelers will play seven (7) home games at the iWireless Center under the Champions Indoor Football (CIF) League banner. The group is spearheaded by veteran Sports Executive Doug Bland, along with Bland’s longtime business partner Terry Dickerson and Dallas Mavericks general manager Donnie Nelson. Both Bland and Nelson have strong ties to the region, as Bland was born and raised in Ottawa, IL, while Nelson spent his youth here in Quad Cities. Donnie Nelson is the son of NBA Hall of Famer Don Nelson whose NBA journey began as a standout player at Rock Island High. “We are so excited to bringing professional indoor football back to Quad Cities” stated Bland. “The Quad City market was passionate about their Steamwheelers and now being able to bring the team back with a stable league like the CIF, is a perfect match”. Donnie Nelson also commented on being part of the group to bring the Steamwheelers back. “I am thrilled to be part of the magic that helped launch players like Kurt Warner’s career, his speech in Canton was an inspiration to all of us born and raised in the Midwest. My hope is that we can give the Quad City fans football entertainment like its never experienced and help springboard the next Kurt Warner in the NFL” said Nelson.
