TALK TO ME, TEXT ITStrange news dominates this Friday morning episode as we explore bizarre and disturbing stories that defy ordinary explanation. The most shocking report involves a UK vascular surgeon who was jailed after deliberately causing frostbite to his own legs with dry ice, leading to their amputation. This disturbing case of self-mutilation was motivated by a sexual interest in amputation and complicated by insurance fraud when he claimed the injuries resulted from sepsis. The story raises uncomfortable parallels to body integrity disorders and our society's approach to psychological disturbances.We also track the continuing manhunt for Travis Decker, the army veteran with survival expertise who allegedly murdered his three young daughters and has evaded capture for over three months. While bones were recently discovered during a grid search, they proved not to be human, leaving this tragic case unresolved with a $20,000 reward still offered for information.The episode covers two additional extraordinary stories: an Oregon man discovered living in a fully-furnished crawl space of a condominium complex, complete with stolen electronics and furniture; and dive teams finding nearly 100 cars mysteriously submerged in the Chicago River while searching for a couple who vanished in 1970.

We believe all neighborhoods deserve to be covered in a meaningful way.We amplify positive stories, cover development and local school council meetings and serve as watchdogs in neighborhoods often ostracized by traditional news media.Ground-level coverageOur neighborhood-based reporters don't parachute in once to cover a story. They are in the neighborhoods they cover every day building relationships over time with neighbors. We believe this ground-level approach not only builds community but leads to a more accurate portrayal of a neighborhood.Stories that matter to you — every daySince our launch five years ago, we've published more than 25,000 stories from the neighborhoods, covered hundreds of community meetings and send daily and neighborhood newsletters to more than 130,000 Chicagoans. We've built this loyalty by proving to folks we are not only covering their neighborhoods, we are a part of them. Some of us have internalized the national media's narrative of a broken Chicago. We aim to change that by celebrating our neighborhoods and chronicling the resilience of the people who fight every day to make Chicago a better place for all.

Biodiesel is growing in the Midwest, and Illinois is a primary example. The folks accelerating biodiesel programs just south of us also want to see Wisconsin expand biodiesel usage. Stephanie Hoff was recently in Illinois and Chicagoland with Clean Fuels Alliance America, looking at the whole chain of biodiesel production from the beans getting dropped off at the plant to riding on a boat on the Chicago River that runs on biodiesel. The state has tax incentives for using biodiesel, and it’s also helping advance sustainability goals. Pete Probst is the president of Indiginous Energy, which is a renewable energy consultant, working with groups like the Illinois Soybean Association and the Chicago Park District. Pete tells Stephanie Hoff that he loves renewable diesel so much, he rigged up his own ride back in the day to run on used cooking oil. He also talks about his role helping members of the B20 Club -- a partnership between the Illinois Soybean Association checkoff and the American Lung Association. It supports fleets running on biodiesel blends of 20 percent or higher. More showers possible today, but it's the wind you'll likely notice. That's the update from Stu Muck. Summer camp is something many kids look forward to. While the initial goal might be just having fun, it doesn't hurt to include some educational experiences too.

WellsNotesA boat, ship whatever, ran into the Brooklyn Bridge, and here's a video of a woman who is a mariner explaining what might have happened. The Chicago River is an engineering marvel. In 1887, they reversed the river and sent it out to the Mississippi rather than having it flow into Lake Michigan. They were moving rivers around in Rhode Island because of Mayor SOMEBODY and his desire to turn Providence into the Venice of the United States. Waterfire is a Providence thing, but it isn't the same as the water fire[s] in Cleveland. The greatest of the Great Lakes is Lake Superior, to be honest, and it's not afraid to tell everyone about it. Station Eleven is a great book set in and around the Great Lakes.
