  • Cafo) Expansion and County Board Politics in Rural Illinois
    ABSTRACT LINKAGES BETWEEN CONCENTRATED ANIMAL FEEDING OPERATION (CAFO) EXPANSION AND COUNTY BOARD POLITICS IN RURAL ILLINOIS Eric A. Sterling, MA Department of Anthropology Northern Illinois University, 2015 Kendall Thu, Advisor Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) are rapidly expanding in rural Illinois. This research explores the political power linkages between county boards and corporate entities in four Illinois counties. The hypothesis is that collusion and impropriety within county board politics and CAFO expansion in rural Illinois are attributed to stakeholder influence and power at the local county government level. My research revealed a connection between ownership of CAFOs, county board political power, and endorsement of expansion. Utilizing Walter Goldschmidt’s method of a controlled comparison, the research analyzes two CAFO inundated counties (Pike and Adams) with two less affected counties (LaSalle and Peoria). Considering the political nature of the research, data collection was forced into engaging secondary text sources to study up, down, and sideways on local government officials. The documents analyzed were public information meeting transcripts, county board meeting transcripts, municipal meeting transcripts, plat maps, public websites, and Freedom of Information Act requests (FOIAs). FOIAs were obtained through government entities and other confidential sources. Citizens are distressed by the proliferation of CAFOs. Through interviews, participant observation, field notes, and archival work, the research indicates that people have knowledge that social stratification is much greater in counties with CAFO proliferation. Citizens that have CAFOs built in close proximity to their property are angered by the permitting system. Considering the amount of pollution and social degradation connected to rapid expansion from livestock farming in Illinois, this research on the linkages between corporate agribusiness and county board politics fills a gap previously overlooked by anthropologists.

    SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2011 ISSUE MMUSICMAG.COM INDIE SCENE TOMMY STINSON One Man Mutiny tommystinson.com Long before his current stint in Guns N’ Roses, bassist Tommy Stinson served his apprenticeship with the Replacements— simultaneously the Beatles and Rolling Stones of the ’80s alt-rock underground. The Minneapolis group could Tommy Stinson be sharp and melodic, like a punky Fab Four, but also shambolic and self-destructive—particularly onstage, after a few drinks. With the acoustic “Come to Hide,” Stinson steals back from Fortunately, Stinson seems to have soaked up more than just the Goo Goo Dolls the type of heart-on-flannel-sleeve ballad his alcohol during his time in the band. On his excellent sophomore old band invented and perfected.

  • Onesheet Steve Brooks Chasing Grace
    Frog Records FR0G07 • National Release Date: April 2010 “Great unsung songwriter of Austin.” - Slaid Cleaves "A wordsmith of the first order." - Jimmy Lafave "The same sense of commentary and observation that made the likes of Woody Guthrie a national hero." - Ellis Paul “Country flavor, a tinge of James Taylor and not afraid to kick up some dust." - Austin Chronicle “A collection of well-crafted gems with something for everyone.” - Joe Angel, KEOS-FM, College Station, TX You may not know Steve Brooks by name, but you’ve been hearing his songs for years. They’ve been recorded by actor Russell Crowe (One Good Year) and Austin Americana artists like Slaid Cleaves (One Good Year, Everette) and Danny Santos (This Memory of You, Hungry for Love), as well as folksingers Emily Kaitz, Kevin So, Marilyn Rucker, Dave Hooper and Jessica Shepherd. He was heard on coast-to-coast radio on Jim Hightower’s late, lamented talk show, where he wrote a song-a-week about events in the news. Now, Brooks, is stepping out with his first studio album in fourteen years. Although Steve’s satirical songs have been widely played on folk radio, producer Chris Gage, of Austin duo Albert & Gage, captures another side of Steve: poetic, romantic and spiritual. “I’ve been chasing grace, but grace ain’t so easily found,” sings Steve in his soaring version of One Good Year, co-written with Cleaves. On Chasing Grace, he’s looking for it in unlikely places, from the mountains of North Carolina to Iowa fields and Texas honky-tonks, with help from sidemen like Richard Bowden (Maines Brothers Band), Tom Pittman (Austin Lounge Lizards), Eddie Cantu (Bruce Robison, Kelly Willis) and Courtney Audain (Timbuk 3).
