After years of unadulterated dumping of toxic garbage at many locations within the village, the village may be getting a return on that investment.
New deposits of Cadmium, Chromium and Lead are being found to be oozing up through the ground. While these deposits are the most frequent, there are also areas of road tar seeping up through the ground to be found in other less sporadic locations.
What the village is really hoping for though, is for some of these deposits to show up in the water table. Once that happens, the deposits will become easier to extract, as all the water can just be pumped out of the ground at any location instead of looking for deposits in individual areas. While only a fraction of these resources can ever be removed from water, the scale is just so large in pumping out all the water that it makes it worth the investment. The water can then be dumped into the river at the newly created riverfront property near downtown, safely making all the concerns vanish into the river. This location also has the benefit of being the site of some of the most concentrated deposits.
While this new-found industry is still in its infancy, the village is hoping that within the next 5 years it will return as much as $0.17c to the annual budget, while only costing $740,000. Trustee Bill Lamb has said it is important to run the village like a business, and this will let the village have even more expenses just like a real business. "Without this addition of a new revenue stream, we would lose that 17 cents forever".

whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
