Meramec River Near Ballwin, Missouri
After Recent Drownings, Officials Consider
New Safety Measures........
Over the weekend, 35 year old Rose Shaw and
12 year old Deniya Johnson drowned in the Meramec River in
Castlewood State Park. Now there are renewed calls to close off
that portion of the park.
Since the year 2000, there has been at least
16 drownings in the same stretch of the Meramec River, and
officials have placed roadblocks and warning signs at the boat
access.
Chief Michael Krause with the Metro West Fire
Protection District believes that a law, similar to the seatbelt
law, requiring the use of life jackets could save lives........

Missouri State Highway Patrol
News Release....
EMPHASIS: Significant Restrictions Placed
On Lake Of The Ozarks For August 25, 2018 Shootout Event
Colonel Sandra K. Karsten, superintendent of the Missouri State
Highway Patrol, would like to remind the boating public about
the significant navigational restrictions in effect during the
2018 Lake of the Ozarks Shootout event.
Revised navigational restrictions will be in effect during the
2018 Lake of the Ozarks Shootout regatta. The no wake
restriction for the Lake of the Ozarks Shootout event includes
the main channel from the 31.5-mile mark to the 36-mile mark.
Due to the number of spectator vessels expected at the event,
additional navigational restrictions will be put into place on
Saturday, August 25, only. An extended idle speed area will be
in effect from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m., and will include the main
channel from the 31.5-mile mark downstream to approximately the
21-mile mark. The extended idle speed area is in addition to the
no wake restriction implemented for the event itself. The
majority of the boating traffic exits the event in a downstream
direction. Thus, the extended navigational restrictions will
assist in maintaining a safe boating environment and preventing
property damage.
A map of the area highlighting the designated no wake restricted
areas has been posted to the Water Patrol Division website:
https://www.mshp.dps.missouri.gov/MSHPWeb/WaterPatrol/index.html
A photo of the map can be found also with this news release on
the Patrol's
website.
“The Lake of the Ozarks Shootout is an extremely large marine
event which requires special restrictions,” said Col. Karsten.
“Safety is our main concern. It is hoped that making boaters
aware of the new restrictions for this year's event will
minimize the inconvenience and enhance the overall safety of the
event.”
The race event takes place on August 25 and 26, 2018, with a
significantly larger crowd expected on the first day. The Patrol
will conduct enforcement operations throughout the restricted
areas during the affected times.
Watercraft operators must consider the effect their actions have
on others: Share the waterway and use common sense, good
judgment, and courtesy to ensure the safety of all. Life jackets
save lives. Wear It!!

Mississippi River At Granite City,
Illinois
I-270 Bridge Closed While Responders
Talk Woman Off Bridge........
Shortly after 9 am Monday, first responders
had to temporarily shut down the Interstate 270 Bridge over the
Mississippi River near Granite City, Illinois, as a woman was
threatening to jump from the bridge.
The St. Louis Fire Department, St. Louis
Police Department and the Illinois State Police responded to the
scene, where they spoke to the woman in an attempt to get her to
get away from the bridge's edge. Responders had a boat in the
water in case she jumped.
Thankfully, the woman did not jump, but was
taken to a hospital by an ambulance shortly before 11 am. The
bridge was then reopened to traffic........
