The [Tuesday] Papers"Gravel crunching beneath their wheels, cars and pickup trucks pulled up at twilight around the one-room schoolhouse in Bernadotte Township," the Tribune reported in late December (that I'm just catching up with) as part of its "The Price of Pork" series. A powerful pork company was planning a 20,000-hog confinement near the storied Spoon River in western Illinois, and a dozen neighbors were gathering to fight for their creeks, clear air, one-lane roads and rural way of life. * Reminder: "In its August investigation, 'The Price of Pork,' the Tribune found hog waste spills accounted for nearly half of the 1 million fish killed in Illinois water pollution incidents from 2005 to 2014, killing at least 492,000 fish and impairing 67 miles of rivers and waterways. No other industry came close to causing that amount of damage, the Tribune reported. "Also, decomposing swine waste releases chemicals including ammonia and hydrogen sulfide that are vented from the sheds along with animal dander and fecal dust, causing respiratory illnesses for people downwind, public health studies have found." - Black Lives Matter (Pray For Chicago) What We Can Learn About Hate Crimes From The UK Chicagoetry: Reservoir Dogs The Weekend In Chicago Rock - From the Beachwood sports desk . . .
