8. Thanks to everyone who came out last night for Monday Night Beachwood! We may have set a record at the cash register for a regular ol’ Monday night. Good times were had by all, including Beachwood poet-in-residence J.J. Tindall. We actually ran out of Old Style. That’s right – we sold every bottle in the house. Awesome. Good job, everyone! See you next week.
9. “It took years for Illinois officials to discover that southwest suburban Crestwood was pumping contaminated water to its residents, in part because the state took village officials at their word that nothing was wrong,” the Tribune’s Michael Hawthorne reports.
“Such lax oversight is a problem in scores of communities throughout the nation, according to a new report from the U.S. Environmental Agency’s inspector general that urged federal and state officials to conduct more rigorous inspections and adopt tighter reporting guidelines.
“The report, prompted by a Tribune investigation, also found there is no way to determine if emergency water supplies that serve more than 58 million people are contaminated or being misused. Oversight is based on trust, rather than routine inspections, the inspector general concluded.”
