The Crest Hill farm had to move the cage containing the 1-week-old and 3-week-old goats to a more prominent spot on the farm.
Did you see the story we ran on the baby goats that were abandoned in a vacant construction site last week? It was a little touch and go for the 1-week-old Pepper, who was resisting bottle-feeding, but it looks like things might work out. Click here to read the original story.

Ketone Partners project could result in short-term heartache for some, long-term windfall for the Village of Channahon.
A proposal to resume mining operations on a large piece of property at U.S. 6 and Bluff Road in Channahon has some residents calling for the Village Board to step in before their way of life is altered by dust, noise and truck traffic. “Can’t something be done to re-zone this property into something that can be more useful to a growing village?” questioned Nikki Larson in an email correspondence with Village Trustee Missey Schumacher. Larson, a physical education teacher and the girls golf coach at Plainfield South High School, lives in the last house on a dead-end street that likely will be affected directly if Ketone Partners is allowed to move forward with mining operations and a plan to develop the parcel into a luxury residential …

A Holiday Inn Express and Candlewood Suites would anchor the development, which also calls for 8,000 square feet of meeting and banquet space.
A two-hotel development with an attached restaurant and 8,000-square-foot conference center would be built on Houbolt Road, just off Interstate 80, under plans submitted to the city of Joliet. The project calls for a 120-room, five-story Holiday Inn Express and an 80-room Candlewood Suites that would share a lobby area, outdoor patio garden, swimming pool and other amenities, Joliet Planner Jim Torri said. It's proposed for a location northwest of Houbolt and I-80, behind an existing Burger King on Rock Creek Boulevard, Torri said.

Joliet should be very careful about this. Convention centers hardly ever make money (except for the contractors who build them). Also, Joliet can't compete with Champaign - it has one of the largest, most prestigious universities in the world. Galena has a thriving tourist industry. Joliet has neither. Why would someone hold a convention in Joliet with a thriving global city only one hour away? … more ›
Of the 75,000 home and business owners eligible to drop the utility via electric aggregation, between 8 percent and 10 percent did, officials said.
Between 6,000 and 7,500 home and small business owners in Joliet dropped ComEd as their electricity provider through the city-orchestrated electric aggregation program, officials said. That's between 8 percent and 10 percent of the 75,000 residences and businesses eligible to take advantage of the group purchase of electricity in a deal negotiated by the Will County Governmental League. Most Joliet residents have seen a 25 percent to 30 percent drop in their electric bill, depending on their usage, since the program went into effect in February, governmental league Executive Director Steve Quigley said. Electricity is being purchased from FirstEnergy Solutions. "They're basically getting a couple of months of free electricity," Quigley …
