The News Hound: Health: August 2008 Archives

Health: August 2008 Archives


For a while there, Antioch really was in the toilet and not just village finances. At least it smelled that way.

Sewage sludge spilled off a truck over the weekend along Main Street (Route 83) and surely raised a stink among village residents. More so than the last Village Board meeting.

The village moved about 16 truckloads through town on Saturday, getting rid of 80 tons of sewage sludge destined for some farmer's field. Who knew Antioch residents could produce that much effluent?

And, how would you like to be living next to that farmer's field after 80 tons of the stuff is dumped? Not The Hound, that's for certain. Remember that the next time you flush away.

One more thing. We also now know that Antioch's um, stuff, indeed, does stink.
