At 10 am Thursday, July 22, 2021, there will be a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate Hannibal's riverfront being open for tourists and residents to enjoy. The public is invited to the ceremony.

Cruising Rules Court Order Removing CDC Virus Riles On Cruise Ships Blocked........
The pandemic restrictions on Florida-based cruise ships will temporarily remain in effect after a federal appeals court temporarily blocked a previous ruling that had sided with a Florida lawsuit challenging the regulations.
A three judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued the stay at 11:50 pm Saturday, mere minutes before a Tampa judge's previous ruling on the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and prevention restrictions was to take effect.
The temporary stay prevents the CDC regulations regarding Florida-based cruise ships in place while the CDC appeals the June decision that had eased restrictions some claim were overly burdensome........

Lake Of The Ozarks Ameren Changing Breakwater Rules On LOTO........
The Lake is becoming busier, and more boaters are installing breakwaters in order to mitigate dock damage caused by large boat wakes. As a result, the utility company that permits structures on the lake, Ameren, is updating their breakwater rules as well.
The new breakwater rules on the lake went into effect on July 15th, and will require some significant changes for lakefront businesses and residential communities.
The biggest rule changes are that new and renewing breakwater permits must be accompanied by an inspection and certification by a professional engineer, permit terms will be restricted to 10 years, and breakwaters must be located within 30 feet of the end of the applicant's dock........

The River Dawg Photo of the Day.....
It's River Dawg "Luke"
Hello friends, my name is Luke. I have been chosen for my fur-ever home by Skylar. As most of you know Sky is a Type 1 diabetic, she is the 13y/o grand-daughter of Sara the owner. Skys family has picked me to be trained as a Diabetic Alert Dog! Since the Riverdock has been short staffed Sky has been picking up alot of shifts to help her family out, with this I will be training alot at the Riverdock. My humans want everyone to know they are following all Health department policies. Im trying my best to be a good boy while Sky is working. I love kids and all kinds of attention, but please ask before petting me, and please do not feed me table food. I've been working hard on basic commands and will soon start scent training. Im very excited to assist Sky in all her needs as I grow up with her!

Added Sunday Mississippi River At Kimmswick, Missouri Mississippi River Town Welcomes Return Of Passenger Riverboats........
On the morning of July 11, at 3:15 am, the Mississippi River port of Kimmswick, Missouri welcomed the American Duchess riverboat. It was the first stop of an overnight riverboat carrying passengers in 125 years, not counting day trips from St. Louis aboard the Huck Finn and Becky Thatcher.
Members of the Kimmswick Historical Society were dressed in period correct clothing as they met the boat and guided passengers to attractions around town.
Back in May, the American Duchess made a dry run at the Port of Kimmswick, which was putting the finishing touches on the port's construction. Officials with the American Queen Steamboat Company saw enough to bring their boat back with paying customers........

Added Sunday Missouri River At Washington, Missouri No Bids Submitted For Riverfront Sites........
Officials in Washington, Missouri are headed back to the proverbial drawing board after receiving zero proposals for developing the former Freight Depot and Waterworks Building by the Friday deadline.
Sal Maniaci, the Washington Community and Economic Development Director says that they were surprised by the lack of proposals, since both properties had several developers inquiring about them.
City officials see the lack of proposals as a temporary setback and they are confident that they will have someone to occupy them. Potential uses for the buildings include breweries, restaurants, bicycle rental or other park and pedestrian friendly activity........

Mississippi River At Alton, Illinois Alton Hosts Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at Splash pad........
On Friday, officials from the City of Alton and the Illinois American Water employees held a ribbon-cutting ceremony at Alton's first splash pad. The project had been delayed by manufacturing delays and the pandemic.
Alton was one of only two cities in the nation to receive a $250,000 Building Better Communities grant back in 2019 from American Water Charitable Foundation. The city utilized tax increment financing funding for the construction of concession and restroom facilities.
The splash pad is located in Riverfront Park adjacent to the amphitheater near the Alton Marina. It is open daily from 10 am to 5 pm from Memorial Day through Labor Day........

Boat Handling Water Rules: When Boats Meet, Who Gives Way?
Operating a boat has it's own set of rules, and when running on a busy waterway, ignorance of those rules is not a luxury that boaters can afford. When boating in Missouri waters, there are state statutes as well as U.S. Coast Guard rules and regulations to abide by.
A common point of confusion among boaters is when two vessels meet, and their courses intersect, which boat maintains course (or stand on) and which should change their course (or give way)?
At the risk of oversimplification, the rule of thumb is that if your boat and another are heading towards each other, each should turn to the right or to starboard........

Minnesota River Near Burnsville, Minnesota Officials Are Reporting Discovering More Giant Goldfish In Local Waterways........
Minnesota officials are reporting that they are finding giant goldfish in state waterways prompting them to plead with citizens to stop illegally dumping their unwanted goldfish into lakes, ponds and waters.
The goldfish are an invasive species that can grow to the size of a football. They compete with the native species for food and contribute to an increase in algae growth in lakes.
Officials in the Minneapolis/St. Paul suburb of Burnsville discovered 10 giant goldfish in Keller Lake earlier in the month while conducting a water quality survey.........

Missouri River Management Drought Prompts Missouri River Conservation Action........
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Missouri River water management team recently announced that the continuing drought in the Upper Midwest region of the United States has prompted water conservation measures.

Despite recent heavy rainfall in the Lower Missouri River Basin, the very dry conditions continue to affect the Upper Missouri River Basin above Sioux City, Iowa, resulting in June's runoff only being about 52 percent of average........

The proposals were due last week, but park district officials received a request to extend the deadline to September 28th in order to allow them and other interested parties more time to develop their operation plans.

Mississippi River At Alton, Illinois The Real Story Of Alton's Bull Shark.......
The stories involving the sighting or capture of sharks in the Upper Mississippi River have taken on an almost mythical quality, however, there may be a more logical explanation of the event, at least as far as the Alton Bull Shark captured in 1937.
Reportedly, a man named "Mudge" Collins caught the well known Alton Bull Shark, but a drinking and fishing buddy of his named Clarence Cousins told the story a bit differently than the well known version.
Cousins says that Collins did not catch a shark, but rather purchased it from the St. Louis fish market, and took it to his favorite watering holes, garnering praise and free drinks........

The Great Flood Of 1993 The Mississippi River Broke The 1973 Record On July 15, 1993........
1993 was a wild year for flooding in the St. Louis region, as the Mississippi River rose above flood stage in downtown during April. The river receded, and then rebounded in June.
By July 15th, the Mississippi River at St. Louis passed the previous record set in 1973. The Mississippi River ended up rising another six feet and remained over flood stage until October 8th........

Lake Of The Ozarks After 13 Years, LOTO Finally Out Of Sewage Spill Trouble........
About thirteen years ago, the City of Lake Ozark was in trouble with federal agencies after a major sewage spill left the city's public works administrator on federal probation and the city was hit with a consent judgment requiring it to straighten itself out.
Thirteen years later, Lake Ozark has complied with the requirements laid out in the consent judgment. During this time, the city has been ineligible for federal and state grant funds costing the city upwards of a million dollars per year.
The completion of the Twin Oaks lift station has satisfied the consent judgment requirements. On June 24, Lake Ozark officials were advised that a Satisfaction of Judgment had been filed with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, announcing the closure for their enforcement case........

On Monday, the riverboat American Duchess stopped off in Alton, Illinois before continuing on it's northerly route to Red Wing, Minnesota. Blake Harris, a boater out of the Alton Marina says that he loves seeing the riverboats, and has been looking forward to Alton becoming a cruise destination.
Chad Scott, a member of the American Duchess' support staff says that it is a land and water effort to keep the cruise painless for the passengers. Scott travels in a moving van containing a variety of items from bottled water to suitcases.
Scott began his shift driving the support vehicle in Louisville, Kentucky and will continue along all the way to Red Wing. He says that the support drivers rotate out several times between New Orleans and Red Wing........

Mississippi River Wildlife Two Rare Bull Shark Sightings Confirmed........
Researchers have verified that there have been at least two bull shark sightings in the Mississippi River over the past 100 years. In both cases, bull sharks have managed to swim upstream to the St. Louis region, some 1,160 river miles from the Gulf of Mexico, where they're normally found.
In 1937, two anglers from Alton caught a five foot bull shark. This is the farthest upstream a shark has been known to have traveled along the Mississippi River. Multiple investigators have studied this case and concluded it was verifiable.
The other sighting, which was less known, occurred in 1995, when a bull shark was discovered caught in a grate at the Rush Island Power Station located near Festus, Missouri........

On Sunday, July 11, 2021, Traci Lynn Martin, Kansas City nurse and avid paddler, became the fastest solo paddler on the Mississippi River, completing the goal she set for herself in August 2020.
Martin began her journey at the Mississippi River headwaters in Lake Itasca on May 17, 2021, and made the trip to Mississippi River Mile Marker 0 at the Head of Passes in 55 days, 8 hours and 17 minutes.
Martin says that her journey was challenging to say the least. in addition to dealing with barges, bug bites and ships on the river, she suffers from two autoimmune diseases. By completing the trip, she wanted to inspire others to keep going.
The "Mississippi Mermaid" says that the best part of her journey was the opportunity to meet the amazing people along the Mississippi River, and build friendships that hopes last a lifetime........
