But municipal leaders are looking at another use for the nimble colorless, odorless gas: It is also used recreationally to get high. At present, anyone can buy nitrous oxide, and it is sold online and possibly locally.

Nearly two years after the DuPage County Forest Preserve District took out the Graue Mill Dam in Salt Creek, the La Grange Area League of Women Voters will return in June to the park and host a nature walk to show how the move has impacted the environment.

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. Libby Paulson, the historic sites supervisor, pointed out many of Orland Park’s early settlers were English and would have had traditions celebrating the community.
