But municipal leaders are looking at another use for the nimble colorless, odorless gas: It is also used recreationally to get high.

In a nod to the past — the very old past — the village of Orland Park hosted a May Day celebration Saturday. The spring celebration can be traced back to Roman times, but the village’s historical sites program used the event to highlight the Stellwagen Farm with a traditionally English version of the spring event.
