The Famous Rock basketball which originated in Kingston has a story all in itself.
Earlier today at Academy Green Park we caught up with the famous entrepreneur and Rock founder John "Rockman" Stote III.
Frowning and slumping on a bench heres what he had to say.
"Today is actually my birthday" with a sad face. "I still remember this same bench almost 50 years ago. I was turning 16 and this strange guy wearing a wig and a dress sat down next to me and the rest was history"
The strange guy was Richard Liknutz also know to the Kingston community as Dick the Wig.
Richard was famous in the Kingston area for being extremely flamboyant an oh so friendly to others. Especially to the Rockman!
" He was like Kingston's Freddie Mercury!
He could sing, dance and if you bought him a quart of Schaefer beer he would give you the best back rub ever!
So many people here in Kingston made fun of him. That always bothered me. Dick was a great person and it was him, not me who came up with the name "The Rock"
I feel so bad I never gave him the credit he deserved. Its not fair.
I still have his toupee in a safety deposit box with a signed baseball from Mickey Mantle.
My 2 prized possessions!
As of 2021 kicks in we are officially changing the name of The Rock to The Wig!
In fact 2021 will be Year of the Wig!"
We asked John how Dick came up with this name and he just laughed and said "only Dick and I know that one.

whale spotted in illinois river
A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri.
While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
