Water, Waste, Invasive Species, Oh My........
The turn of the century feat of reversing the flow of the Chicago River has been under fire pretty much since the beginning. The first controversies arose from the removal of water from the Great Lakes, and the "flushing" of Chicago's waste water into the Mississippi River Basin. Then came the invasive species, first mussels then round gobies. These days it is viruses and of course, the Asian carp. By 2003, Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley had suggested damming the canal in order to renew the original separation of the Great Lakes from the Mississippi River Basin........

Corps Building New Barriers To Halt Carp Advance........
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is constructing a third electric barrier in the Chicago Ship and Sanitary Canal. The first part of the barrier went online in 2002, and was intended to stop all species of fish, but especially the round goby. The second and third phases are intended to stop the Asian carp in addition to other invasive species. A concrete jersey wall is also being constructed in certain places on the Centennial Trail to prevent Asian carp from crossing from the Des Plaines River the the Chicago River during times of flood........

The Pictures of the Day ...... was sent to us by Vivian Powell
Yesteryear's
Picture of the Day
2007------
was from Murphy Ackers, of
the houseboat "Murphy II". 
absolutely love this RV but we recently rented a lot at the
River and no longer have a need to travel. We are wanting to just
buy a nice pull behind camper to leave down there and seems to be a
waste to have the motor home now. The motor home has 10,500 miles on
it and was taken care of very well. We performed regular maintenance
on it and will be happy to let anyone interested in it take a look.
WE WILL NOT RENT OUT FOR THE WEEKEND OR LEASE SO DON'T EVEN ASK. WE
ARE SELLING THE MOTOR HOME FOR $55,000 NO TRADES. We put a very
large down deposit on the RV and are asking right at our payoff
amount so this is a very good price especially considering the
excellent shape and low mileage. Additional info is as followed:
