Illinois pork, cattle producers focus on use of antibiotics
The use of antibiotics in livestock is getting at least as much attention from hog and cattle producers this year as taxes and deficits.
Both the Illinois Pork Producers Association and the Illinois Beef Association provided members with talking points Wednesday on the practice and on whether it reduces the long-term effectiveness of antibiotics in animals and humans.
The head of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration also was quoted Wednesday as saying the FDA continues to look at new restrictions, but that the agency will work with the livestock industry.
“No one wants to use antibiotics on their animals. It’s expensive, but small amounts may be needed to keep them healthy,” IPPA president Brent Scholl said prior to an annual lobby day in Springfield.
An antibiotics “fact sheet” handed out to both beef and pork producers from around the state pointed out regulators are paying closer attention to the potential public-health effects of a practice that has been used for more than 50 years.
Scholl, a fifth-generation hog producer, said his family eats the same pork that is sold to commercial processors from their farm about 40 miles southwest of Rockford. Full Press Release…

Chicago Opera Theater presents Gioachino Rossini’s “Moses in Egypt”
The Opening Production of the 2010 Spring Festival Season!
April 17, 21, 23, 25, 2010 at the Harris Theater in Millennium Park
Chicago Opera Theater (COT) presents the opening production of the 2010 Spring Festival Season – Rossini’s Moses in Egypt (Mosè in Egitto) on April 17, 21, 23 and 25 at the Harris Theater in Millennium Park.
“Moses in Egypt was only performed in Chicago once – back in 1863 during Abraham Lincoln’s presidency,” said General Director Brian Dickie. “We like to think our fellow Illinoisan, who we know did enjoy the theatre, might have been at that performance. Of course, we’ll never know – but we look forward to introducing present-day Chicagoans to this very great opera.” Full Press Release…

Anti-candidate Web site asks public for dirt
Democrats opposed to Meg Whitman’s gubernatorial campaign are hoping to get an assist from the public in their latest bid to push voters away from the Republican candidate.
Level The Playing Field 2010, a group run by California Democratic strategists who support Democratic candidate Jerry Brown, this week launched Wikimeg.com, an open-content Web site similar to Wikipedia.
The site encourages users to “help us fully vet Meg Whitman’s job application” by posting what they know about the former eBay CEO.
“The tool we’ve created here — we see as a real laboratory of free speech,” said Sean Clegg, campaign manager of Level the Playing Field. “What we’re asking Californians to do is to help match Meg’s $200-million campaign with their own information and brainpower and research horsepower.” Full Press Release…
