A Bit of Missouri River History
Missouri River At St. Charles, Missouri
New Bridge Spanning The Missouri River
Opened In 1958........
During the fist week of September 1958,
workers began opening the four lanes of the new Missouri River
Bridge in phases. The span replaced a 19th century bridge
downriver that was overloaded with 19,000 vehicles each day.
The $8.5 million bridge was a key piece of
the Mark Twain Expressway, now known as Interstate 70. The $97
million, 24 mile long expressway running from downtown St. Louis
into St. Charles was the first section of today's regional
system of superhighways.
The span paved the way for the migration
westward into St. Charles County. In 1958, St. Charles County
had 53,000 residents. Now, there are over 400,000. In 1979, a
second bridge was opened next to the Mark Twain span. Each day,
the pair carry over 150,000 vehicles over the Missouri
River........

Stress Free Docking
Boat Gear Manufacturer
Raymarine, Emerson Introduce DockSense
Control........
Docking a boat can be a stressful
undertaking, especially when dealing with wind and current, for
even the most experienced captains. The after-effects of
mishaps can range from the embarrassing to the extremely
expensive.
Raymarine believes that boating should be fun
and relaxing, so that's why their engineers set to work
developing the technologies that could alleviate the stress of
docking, while increasing the peace of mind and protecting the
boater's investments.
DockSense Control will prevent a vessel from
colliding with a detected object and moves the boat in the
direction the captain commands it to via the joystick. All this
occurs while the system compensates wind and tide
effects........

Mississippi River At St. Paul,
Minnesota
St. Paul Requesting $20 Million For A
River Center........
In early August, the St. Paul city council
approved a resolution asking the state of Minnesota for a grant
of $20 million to establish a recreation and environmental
education center along the riverbank at the Watergate Marina.
The site would also host the National Park Service's Mississippi
River headquarters.
According to Mary deLaittre, the executive
director of the Great River Passage Conservancy, the proposed
River Learning Center would provide educational programming,
walking tours and rental equipment for outdoor recreation,
allowing visitors to connect with the area's history and natural
resources.
Last year, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had
included $3 million for the center's design and planning costs,
however, the funding was not included in the final bonding bill
passed by the legislature. The design costs for the Great River
Passage Conservancy were covered by private donations........

Boat Sales
July Was The Third Consecutive
Month Of Slowed Boat Sales........
According to the preliminary data from
Statistical Surveys, a Michigan-based firm that tracks
new-boat registrations, July was the third consecutive month
of slowed stories.
Continuing supply chain issues as well as
a shortage of nearly everything, from skilled workers and
foam and resin to engines and oil filters have continued to
stymie manufactures, keeping them from delivering boats to
waiting customers.
July 2020's sales numbers will be almost
impossible to top, with it being the second highest single
month of new boat sales, seasonally adjusted, in the past 13
years. July 2012, however, saw total boating registrations
were down 43 percent for the month, with the main powerboat
segments down 49 percent........

Boat Gear Manufacturer
Garmin Introduced Surround View Camera
System........
Garmin has introduced their Surround View
Camera System, which the company is called a "breakthrough in
video guidance for recreational boating and yachting".
The system uses six through-hull mounted
cameras that act as multiple sets of eyes, offering a live 360
degree bird's eye view around the vessel, which provides
captains a quick view of the vessel's perimeter during low-speed
maneuvers.
Dan Bartel, Garmin Vice President of global
consumer sales says that their innovative Surround View takes
the comfort and conveniences that their customers rely on in
their vehicles and brings it to their boat's helm........

River History....
Sept. 8, 1974 in Snake River History
Evel Knievel attempted to jump the Snake River in Idaho, riding
in a specially constructed rocket powered "Skycycle."
He rode the "Skycycle" across the quarter mile wide gorge, but
the parachute malfunctioned and the strong winds blew the "Skycycle"
back into the canyon. He landed just a few feet from the
swirling river in which he would have surely drowned.

Lower Mississippi River Levees
Corps Released Re-Evaluation Reports On
Raising Levees........
Back in early
August, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New Orleans District
released the final version of the Lake Pontchartrain and
Vicinity and the West Bank and Vicinity General Re-Evaluation
Reports, which detail the Corps plans for raising levees and
floodwalls in the New Orleans area between now and 2078.
These levee lifts and new floodwalls are
necessary to guarantee that the Hurricane and Storm Damage Risk
Reduction System can provide protection from storm surges having
a 1 percent chance of occurring in any given year. That
protection level is needed for the area to qualify for the
Federal Emergency Management Agency's National Flood Insurance
Program
The report reveals that the Corps is
recommending 50 miles of levee lifts, the reconstruction of 1
mile of floodwall and the addition of 2.2 miles of floodwalls to
be constructed over the next 50-plus years at a cost of $1.1
billion. Most of the work would be along the Lake Pontchartrain
shoreline, with the the levee lifts along the Mississippi River
along the east bank in St. Bernard Parish........

Missouri River History
Steamboat Arabia The Focus Of A
Documentary........
While cruising through the channels of the
online streaming services, we reeled in a documentary focused on
the excavation and preservation of the cargo of the wreck of the
Steamboat Arabia, which was found 45 feet under a
cornfield about a half mile from the present day Missouri River
channel near Kansas City, Missouri.
On September 5, 1856, the Arabia hit a
snag in the river and sank, taking up to 222 tons of cargo under
the muddy river. The 150 passengers and crew made it to safety.
The wreck was discovered in 1988, and over
the next several months, the Arabia was excavated,
revealing the largest and most preserved cache of pre-Civil War
artifacts, including tools, weaponry, clothing, preserved fruits
and vegetables. some of the artifacts are on display at the
Arabia Steamboat Museum located in Kansas City's historic City
Market.
The documentary, called Cornfield
Shipwreck, also briefly looks at the search for an earlier
sunken steamboat, the Malta. The documentary is
available for viewing on the HBO Max channel........

Hi Bill!
We have the foundation built!!! Unfortunately, since lumber
prices are so high right now we are putting a hold on the
build. Hoping all of this ends soon so we can get back to
it.

"The plan is to keep it in the same location, maybe a little
closer to the river and up about 7 ft higher. The building

Mississippi River Near Alton, Illinois
Second Annual Catfish Classic Is Next
Weekend........
100 teams of anglers from eight states will
be in Alton, Illinois next Saturday to participate in the 2021
Alton Catfish Classic, which is sponsored by Alton's own Bluff
City Outdoors.
On Tournament day, the teams will depart from
Alton and return to have their catches officially weighed in
front of a crowd at the Liberty Bank Alton Amphitheater. All of
the fish will be released back into the river following the
weigh in and photographs.
The area around the confluence of the
Missouri and Mississippi Rivers is the home of some gigantic
blue catfish, including the world-record setting 124 pound blue
cat caught near Alton in May of 2005........

Upper Mississippi River
Mississippi River Association Under
Investigation........
The Environmental Protection Agency is
investigating whether the Upper Mississippi River Basin
Association has violated the Civil Rights Act. The UMRBA is a
five state governmental agency that deals with issues concerning
the Upper Mississippi River.
Back in July, the federal agency's External
Civil Rights Compliance Office accepted a complaint against the
UMRBA, which represents the governors of Missouri, Illinois,
Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota.
American Rivers filed the complaint, which
alleges that the basin association discriminates against
communities of color by preventing them from participation in
the development of programs, projects and policies related to
Mississippi River flooding........

The Gulf Of Mexico
Large Oil Spill Left By Hurricane
Ida........
On Saturday, the U.S. Coast Guard announced
that cleanup crews had been dispatched to a considerable oil
spill in the Gulf of Mexico following Hurricane Ida.
The spill, which is continuing, seems to be
coming from an underwater source at an offshore drilling lease
approximately two miles south of Port Fourchon, Louisiana. The
location is near the site of a miles-long black and brown oil
slick visible from the air.
Lieutenant John Edwards, a Coast Guard
spokesman says that the response teams are working to determine
the size and scope of the spill and that the source of the spill
is located in Bay Marchand, Block 4. It is believed to be crude
oil from an underwater pipeline owned by Talos Energy........

Lake Of The Ozarks
A Look At The Beginning Of The
Lake........
On September 5, 1929, crews began the
monumental task of clearing the lane that would eventually
become the Lake of the Ozarks. Some 30,000 acres of trees were
cut down and the town of Linn Creek was demolished.
Just under two years later, on May 30, 2931,
just weeks after being declared complete, the Lake of the Ozarks
was officially opened to boat traffic. After another four
months, workers inside the new Bagnell Dam turned on the
switches that ran current from the large hydroelectric
generators.
High tension wires were strung through the
dense, hilly forest to carry power to a large feeder station in
Wellston as well as to present-day Park Hills, located in
Missouri's old lead belt........

Missouri River Conservation
Funding For Endangered Species Slashed
Over The Years........
After better than a century of dike, dam and
riverbank development, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
established the Missouri RIver Recovery Program, which was
tasked by law to protect and restore endangered species
populations along the Missouri River.
Now, the program is threatened, as it is
under fire by farmers, industry and transportation interests,
left unbacked by politicians and overmatched by competing
budgetary concerns.
Over the years, the Corps has whittled away
at the funding for the Missouri RIver Recovery Program, slowly
slashing the program's annual budget from more than $80 million
a decade ago to slightly over $8 million budgeted for next
year........

Mississippi River Near Destrehan,
Louisiana
NTSB Released Cause Of Fatal Tow
Collision.........
The National Transportation Safety Board
released a Marine Accident Brief that outlines the cause of the
January 26, 2020 collision and subsequent sinking of a tow
vessel with four crew members aboard. Three of them were never
found.
The collision occurred along the Lower
Mississippi River near Destrehan, Louisiana between the tow
vessels Cooperative Spirit and RC Creppel, which
capsized and sank. Only one crew member was rescued.
The accident caused the breakaway of 42
barges from both tows, the release of sulfuric acid vapors in
the atmosphere and a spill of approximately 8,000 gallons of
diesel fuel in the Mississippi River.
The Marine Accident Brief says that
insufficient radio communication and failure to properly
communicate tow size via AIS systems contributed to the
collision........

Tennessee River Near Gilbertsville,
Kentucky
Excavation Work Passes Halfway Mark On
Lock Addition Project........
Within the next several days, crews are
expecting to start pumping water out from behind a cofferdam as
work progresses on the Kentucky Lock Addition Project along the
Tennessee RIver near Gilbertsville, Kentucky.
The cofferdam was finished in March, and
according to Zach Langel, project manager for the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers, Nashville District, the excavation work on
the new 110 by 1,200 foot lock chamber is past the halfway
point. The excavation contract is expected to be completed in
mid 2022.
The lock addition is being constructed
landward and next to the existing 110 by 600 foot lock. The
Corps is set to award the $250 million contract for the
downstream lock monoliths within the next 60 days. Langel is
forecasting a project completion date sometime in 2029........

We have the foundation built!!! Unfortunately, since lumber

it.

Mississippi River Near West Alton,
Missouri
MoDOT Working To Raise Frequently
Flooding Part Of U.S. 67........
Crews have begun working on a $4.1
million project to raise approximately one mile of the
southbound U.S. 67 about a mile south of the Clark Bridge in
West Alton, Missouri.
The section of U.S. 67 crews are raising
contains two of the three most frequently flooded parts of
the highway. The elevation work will not prevent lower U.S.
67 from flooding as it did in 2019, however, it will stop
lesser floods from shutting down the southbound lanes.
The project will also include making
improvements to the intersection of U.S. 67 and Riverlands
Way. It will not include significant improvements for
pedestrians or cyclists at this time........

ongoing conservation work. Volunteers and staff will work
together to rid the islands and shorelines of the beautiful
Mississippi River of trash and debris. Interested community
members should
sign up to volunteer at the clean-up by September 23.
“To date, the Mississippi Earthtones Festival River Clean up has
netted over 36 tons of trash and has recycled 8 tons of
recyclable materials”, said Christine Favilla, Three Rivers
Project Co-Coordinator. “As we look forward to another
successful year of conservation work, we ask that each volunteer
determine their comfort level when participating in in-person
activities with the public at this time. Masks will be mandatory
during the boat ride and during check-in, and we will maintain
social distancing as much as possible. Volunteers’ safety is
paramount and we appreciate the community’s cooperation.”
This important conservation work is made possible by our
partners, including the Beasley Fish Brothers, the Audubon
Center at Riverlands, National Public Lands Day, the Army Corps
of Engineers, and the National Great Rivers Research and
Education Center.
“The National Great Rivers Research and Education Center (NGRREC)
is proud to partner with Sierra Club Illinois to contribute to
educating the public about the health of our great rivers,” says
Sarah Fisher, Director of Environmental Education at NGRREC.
“The river clean-up scheduled in honor of National Public Lands
Day is a wonderful opportunity for our community to come
together and give back to the rivers that sustain us. Through
community volunteerism and education, we can help facilitate
meaningful impacts on our public lands and waterways.”
Volunteers will receive a free boat ride, lunch, and t-shirt!
Interested community members can learn more about the river
clean-up and register to participate at

Mississippi River Near New Orleans,
Louisiana
Lower Mississippi River Mostly Shut
Down After Hurricane Ida........
Grain companies with terminals located along
the Lower Mississippi River are considering shifting more of
their committed soybean and grain shipments to the ports in the
Pacific Northwest while damage assessments and repair work
begins following hurricane Ida.
Ida brought severe wind damage to the New
Orleans region. The timeline for resuming shipping operations
is not known due to the uncertainty of when electricity will be
restored. Officials in some Louisiana parishes report that some
towns along the coast are not inhabitable.
On Thursday, power provider Entergy reported
that they had restored power to around 167,000 customers, but
that leaves approximately 791,000 people without power. The
company stated that they were focusing on power for hospitals
and key infrastructure such as wastewater facilities........

Bagnell Dam Closing To Traffic For
Three Months........
The Missouri Department of Transportation has
announced that the Bagnell Dam will be closed for three months
for a rehabilitation project beginning on Tuesday, September 7,

The existing Bagnell Dam Bridge was
constructed in 1929 and MoDOT says that rehabilitation is
necessary to extend the life and usability of the bridge. The
project will involve making repairs to the bridge deck,
expansion joints, sidewalks and barrier walls.
Back in June, the Missouri Highways and
Transportation Commission awarded the project to Concrete
Strategies, LLC., who submitted the low bid of
$1,611,862........

We have the foundation built!!! Unfortunately, since lumber
prices are so high right now we are putting a hold on the

it.

Hi Bill!
We have the foundation built!!! Unfortunately, since lumber
prices are so high right now we are putting a hold on the

it.

Mississippi River Near New Orleans,
Louisiana
22 Barges Broke Free As Hurricane Ida
Made Landfall........
St. Bernard Parish officials report that 22
barges broke free along the Mississippi River on Sunday as
Hurricane Ida tore into Louisiana. The barges were adrift in
conditions too bad to try to secure them. The barges broke free
at the 87 Mile Marker and as of Sunday night, were still in the
river.
A video shared on Facebook showed a loose
barge striking a boat during the storm. Filmed by a person
aboard the boat. the video shows the barge sideways, moving
quickly towards the boat prior to striking it and continuing
downstream.
Another wayward barge struck the Kerner Swing
Bridge in Lafitte, south of New Orleans, causing officials to
advise motorists not to drive over the bridge, as they did not
know if the span was safe........

Rend Lake Will Remain Closed For
Invasive Species Eradication........
On Tuesday, officials with the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers said that some public use areas of Rend
Lake will remain closed for the safety of their visitors
while they deal with invasive species.
According to the Corps, Rend Lake has had
Phragmites Australis that has become problematic along
roadways, ditches and within wetlands areas. Also known as
Common Reed, the species interferes with wetlands grass,
becoming aggressive and out competing native plants and
displacing wildlife.
The Corps says that the closure will be
extended through Thursday, September 2nd as they continue to
treat the Phragmites in several locations around Rend
Lake........

We have ordered our steel (for the)
building and they are in the process of making it. They said
it usually takes about 3 months to have it built and
delivered. Let’s pray everything goes smoothly and there are
no setbacks

Hi Bill!
We have the foundation built!!! Unfortunately, since lumber
prices are so high right now we are putting a hold on the
build. Hoping all of this ends soon so we can get back to
it.
Amanda
Kinder's Restaurant

Foundation work started
"The plan is to keep it in the same location, maybe a little
closer to the river and up about 7 ft higher. The building
will be just a little smaller with a bigger deck."
