Mississippi River At Alton,
Illinois
Crews Removing Chain Link Fence
From The Riverfront........
There are changed being made along the
riverfront at Alton, Illinois. On Wednesday, workers from
Collins and Hermann were working to remove the decades-old
chain link fence running along the lock wall of the Old Lock
and Dam No.26.
The chain link fencing will be replaced
with black fencing similar to the fencing that is already in
place in locations around Riverfront Park. Similar fencing
is being installed at the other end of the park to keep
visitors off of the railroad tracks service Ardent Mills.
The old lock wall is constructed of
reinforced concrete and is sunk into bedrock. The wall is
utilized by visiting cruise ships as well as barges needing
a spot to tie up along Alton's riverfront........

News
Release From BoatUS
OSSINING,
N.Y., June 29, 2022 – An early June boating incident on New
York’s Hudson River underscores the critical importance of being
able to borrow right-sized kid’s life jackets, according to the
Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatUS).
A group of three adults and five children aboard a small
bowrider spent some time at a Croton Point Park beach, an
anchorage popular with boaters. As the vessel rounded Croton
Point on the way home, wind-driven waves combined with the wake
of a passing commercial vessel entered the vessel over the bow,
quickly swamping the boat. Everyone aboard was immediately up to
their waists in water.
Before departing that day, the boat’s owner, Barbara Ann Benson,
who had 27 years of boating experience, stopped to borrow five
children’s life jackets from a nearby
BoatUS Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water Kids Life
Jacket Loaner site at Ossining Boat & Canoe Club (OBCC) in
Ossining. The BoatUS Foundation is the 501(c)(3) nonprofit
boating safety arm of BoatUS and offers 593 locations across the
United States where boaters who may have young guests aboard can
borrow child-sized life jackets for the day or weekend at no
cost. Loaner sites are typically located at local marine
businesses, marinas, firehouses, and community boat and yacht
clubs. OBCC has been a host of the BoatUS Foundation’s free life
jacket loaner program for nearly 30 years.
Cellphone communication with local law enforcement and rescue
flares summoned police and fire rescuers as well as good
Samaritans. The eight aboard from two families were all safely
returned to shore, and the boat was recovered. The boat’s
internal floatation had kept the boat floating upright.
Benson said, “I’m so thankful for the BoatUS Foundation Life
Jacket Loaner Program. I knew I was going to have some young
guests aboard that day, and I didn’t have any of the right-sized
life jackets to fit them, so I made sure to swing by the loaner
site at OBCC to get the sizes needed for each child. That
afternoon was very stressful time for me as it all happened so
quickly, but just knowing that everyone was wearing a properly
fitted life jacket helped us get through the emergency and be
able to talk about it.”
The BoatUS Foundation cautions boaters that children can easily
slip out of an adult size or improperly fitted life jacket. A
video on how to properly fit a kid’s life jacket can be found at
BoatUS.org/Life-Jacket-Loaner/Fit-Video.
More on the Foundation’s Life Jacket Loaner Program, including a
map of locations, can be found at
BoatUS.org/LJLP

Living Lands & Waters Teaching
Students On The River.........
Living Lands & Waters and Partners Of
Scott County Watersheds are offering students the
opportunity to get out on the Mississippi River to learn
about ecology, water quality and animal habitats.
According to Kelsi Massengale,

also get to learn about mussels, mussel identification, as
well as the chance to explore the Mississippi River.
Many of the students live within a few
miles of the river, most have not had the chance to even
touch the river. Massengale says that the best part of the
job is seeing that spark in the kids........

Mississippi River Cruising
Supply Chain Delays Delay Viking
Mississippi Maiden Voyage........
The maiden voyage of the five-deck, 193 room
Viking Mississippi cruise ship has been delayed by supply
chain issues, which will result in two fewer dockings in
Burlington, Iowa this summer.
The Mississippi had been scheduled to
dock twice in Burlington during July, once on July 18, and again
on July 28. Now, it appears that the vessel will not arrive in
Burlington until August 15.
Chris Gram, program director of the Greater
Burlington Convention and Visitors Bureau says that the supply
chain issues are affecting the vessel's amenities. He adds that
the boat is done, and it is just the final details needed before
sea trials can begin........

Boat Sales
COVID Bubble Set To Pop........
The sentiment amongst boat dealers is
shifting, as some two years after the start of the COVID-fueled
increase in demand for boats, that demand is beginning to wane.
One dealer stated that selling boats is
definitely harder and the position of strength is beginning to
shift back to the consumer. The dealer added that it is still
early, but the interactions and conversations are starting to
change.
Another dealer said that they saw an overall
decrease in sales during May, in both dollars and units. The
dealer went on to say that sales traffic is down, as are website
visits and leads........

Mississippi River At Alton, Illinois
Officials Investigating Shooting At
Riverfront Park........
The Alton Police Department reports that two
men are being treated for gunshot wounds following an early
morning shooting. Reportedly, officers were called out to
Riverfront Park near the Alton Marina at around 12:45 am for a
report of shots fired.
According to Alton Police Chief Marcos Pulido,
the investigation reveals that several people met at Riverfront
Park and an argument ensued. Several shots were reportedly
fired.
Pulido says that they believe the incident
was an isolated event, as those involved were familiar with each
other. He adds that violent crime is not common in the
Riverfront Park area. The condition of the two gunshot victims
is not known........

A Look Back At The Ill-Fated Santa
Maria
Mississippi River At St. Louis,
Missouri........
On March 29, 1969, a replica of Christopher
Columbus' vessel, the Santa Maria arrived on the St.
Louis riverfront with the expectation of becoming a tourist
attraction. On June 28, 1969, severe thunderstorms tore through
St. Louis, breaking the Santa Maria and the old Becky
Thatcher free from their moorings.
Both vessels drifted about two miles
downstream where they crashed into a dock along the Illinois
bank of the Mississippi River. The Santa Maria had a
large gash in it's starboard side and sank.
After being raised and repaired, the Santa
Maria returned to the St. Louis riverfront, however, it
never became the popular tourist attraction former Mayor Alfonso
J. Cervantes intended.
In March 1970, the Santa Maria was
sold and moved to Titusville, Florida. On June 27, 1974, it was
gutted by a fire........

Southwest Proposes Mississippi River Diversion To Cure
Drought........
Last week, Las Vegas resident Bill Nichols made the suggestion
of diverting water from the Mississippi River to the
Southwestern United States as a way to help solve their
drought-related water shortages.
Richard Layman of Salt Lake City counters that there is no way
that the Mississippi river border states would allow water to be
diverted to the Colorado River. He adds that instead of pursuing
water diversions, the western states should look into
desalination of ocean water to cure their issues.
Rod Rom of Butler, Missouri states that desalinators could be
installed along the 1,360 miles of Pacific ocean mainland
coastline. He notes that there are desalinators that use
sun-distillation instead of electricity to produce fresh water,
meaning external power is only needed for the pumps........

Legislation
American Boating Congress Focused On Sustainability, Innovation
& Electrification
On the heels of last month's meeting of the American Boating
Congress in Washington D.C., it is certain that the spirit of
innovation is alive and well within the recreational boating
community.
Companies of all sizes were in attendance and reiterated their
commitment to the next generation of boating, which amplifies
the recreational marine industry's long-held dedication to
environmental stewardship and conservation.
The effort to build upon this responsibility is well underway,
and the recreational boating industry has shifted their focus on
the next generation of boating through product line
enhancements, policy imperatives and broadening access to new
boating technologies.........

Upper
Mississippi River Basin
Report: Longer-Lasting Flood Events Altering Habitat.........
According to a new report, which analyzed close to 30 years of
data, high water and longer lasting flooding events are changing
the habitat along the Upper Mississippi River.
The Upper Mississippi River Basin is the natural floodplain
which spans from Minnesota and Wisconsin past Iowa, Missouri and
ending up at Cairo, Illinois. The region is ecologically diverse
and is made up of wetlands, marshes and forests.
The report was conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey,
Department of the Interior, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and
Upper Mississippi River Basin Association and reveals that
increasingly wetter conditions occurring over the past few
decades looks likely to continue.........

The Picture of the
Day..... happened yesterday afternoon at Woodland
Marina
Well,
after 8 years with the old girl ( that's more than most of
my marriages lasted, LoL ) it was time to move on to another
owner that will love her as much as I have. She's headed to
Cincinnati, 720 miles, and will be the biggest boat in their
harbor, on the Ohio river. I'm sure they will continue to
bring her back to the glory she deserves
I'll be on the River with INDECISION, for the next few years

Bubblehead was owned by Okie Moore Diving and Salvage

Mississippi River Journeys
87 Year Old Adventurer Paddling The
Mississippi River To Reclaim A Record........
On his 87th birthday, Dale Sanders also known
as the "Greybeard Adventurer" dipped his oar into the
Mississippi River to begin his effort to paddle the length of
the Mississippi River. His goal is to break the world record as
the oldest person to make the 2,340 mile journey again.
On June 14th, Sanders started his journey at
the Headwaters of the Mississippi in Itasca State Park. He says
that the Mississippi River is one of the most challenging
expeditions he has been on, especially the lakes in the upper
Mississippi River basin.
Sanders held the record for the oldest person
to complete the Mississippi River Source to Sea challenge from
2015 to 2020, breaking the record at 80 years old in 80 days.
Paddler Stan Stark broke that record last year by completing the
trip at 81 years old........

Boating Safety
Good Captains Must Maintain Situational
Awareness........
As a captain of any vessel, we have to
remember to focus on all that is going on around us. The helm
is not the center of a two dimensional circle around the vessel,
but rather a center of a "bubble" A captain also needs to be
aware of what is going on above and below the water's surface.
A captain needs to be aware of traffic
overtaking from the stern, crossing from port and starboard and
traffic and dead ahead, no matter what direction they are going.
Under the water surface lurks plenty of
hazards and learning to read the water is crucial. There may be
shallow spots below the keel as well as danger from submerged
logs and other debris that can damage the vessel or drive unit.
Don't forget to look up, as the weather
forecast and being aware of changing weather conditions can be
critical. It could mean the difference between a pleasant day
on the water and a hazardous and miserable ride back to the
dock........

Ohio River Near Smithland,
Kentucky
Shoaling Causing Groundings
........
The U.S. Coast Guard is advising
that their industry partners lower their draft along the Ohio
RIver below Smithland, Kentucky following at least three
groundings near Mile Marker 926, locally known as the Cumberland
Bar.
According to Lieutenant John Nolan,
spokesman for the U.S. Coast Guard Marine Safety Unit, Paducah,
a vessel was pushing hopper barges loaded with rock when the
lead barge ran aground. Luckily, there was no damage or
injuries. The channel was blocked for approximately an hour
before reopening.
Petty Officer Evan Dawson, water
management representative for MSU Paducah says that the
grounding was caused by shoaling along the river, which is an
issue because it is normally low-water season, but there has
also been a lack of rainfall........

Lake Of The Ozarks
Iconic Tom Sawyer
Paddlewheeler Set To Make A Comeback........
One of the most nostalgic and
recognizable boats on the Lake of the Ozarks, the iconic
paddlewheeler excursion boat Tom Sawyer is poised to make
a comeback.
The Tom Sawyer suddenly sank
near the Bagnell Dam in May 2017. The owner at the time, Iguana
Marine Group, relocated the boat to shore, and then put it up
for auction two years ago.
808-Docks owner Azzbusta LLC of
Gravois Mills had the winning bid for the vessel, and relocated
it to their welding shop on the Westside. A completely new
bottom was welded onto the vessel and it underwent some
restoration work. The Tom Sawyer is currently moored
just north of the Gravois Mills Bridge, where it awaits it's
next phase in life........

River
History....
June 24, 1993 in River History
A day after the Missouri River rose over flood stage at St. Charles, the
County Emergency Management Agency warned 800 families from the Lincoln
County line to West Alton to move to higher ground. Ten inches of rain fell
in Southern Iowa, prompting officials to warn the rivers could top the
record crest of 1973.

Waterway Legislation
50 Years Of The Clean Water Act........
In the early 1970s, when Congress was still
able to debate and pass sound legislation, the Clean Water Act
was passed and signed into law with the mission to clean up the
navigable waterways of the United States.
The Clean Water Act is celebrating it's 50th
anniversary this year, and over that time, the recreational
boating industry has been a beneficiary. One of the CWA's goals
was to make the nation's water quality fishable and swimable by
the 1980s.
While that time frame has long since passed,
much progress has been made, but there is more work to do. An
issue that needs to be tackled, but is not addressed by the CWA
is controlling non-point pollution that contributes to algal
blooms that trigger dead zones for marine life.........

Lake Of The Ozarks
Two Vessels Sank In The Lake........
Last weekend, two boats, a 24 foot Crownline
and a 31 foot Eleganza powerboat sank in two separate incidents
in the Lake of the Ozarks. No injuries were reported.
Tim McNitt with Atlantis Dive & Dock Salvage,
who recovered both vessels, reports that the Eleganza was docked
when it's lift went down and the vessel entered the water. He
says it appears that the boat swamped because of the angle when
the lift failed.
The Crownline reportedly encountered
mechanical issues while on the lake and it was towed to Coffman
Marina at the 51 Mile Marker. The vessel was moored overnight,
and apparently sank during that time........

Asian Carp Update
A Fish By Any Other Name Would Taste As
Sweet........
Suppose you have a hankerin' for some fish,
so you head to your favorite riverfront hangout, only to be
disappointed after seeing that the catch of the day is invasive
Asian carp. Would it sound more appetizing if the catch of the
day were called Copi, fresh from the river?
On Wednesday, Illinois and partner
organizations have begun a market testing campaign to rename
four species collectively known as Asian carp as Copi, with the
hope that the name change will make the fish more palatable to
U.S. consumers.
According to Kevin Irons, the assistant
fisheries chief with the Illinois Department of Natural
Resources, the name "carp" is so harsh, people won't even try
the fish. He adds that the fish is healthy, clean and is rather
tasty........

Goodbye Asian Carp
Hello Copi....
Illinois Department of
Natural Resources
22 June 2022
Thank you to everyone
who tuned in this morning to help IDNR celebrate Copi, the
new brand for Asian carp.
Encouraging more human
consumption of this delicious, healthful, flaky fish is just
one part of IDNR’s comprehensive effort to manage these fish
in our waterways.
Rebranding to Copi will help create interest and consumer
demand, thereby reducing the ecological harm caused by high
densities of invasive carps in our rivers. The more we
remove through commercial fishing, the more successful we’ll
be in helping our native fish thrive.
The Brandon Road Lock and Dam barrier near Joliet is another
equally important part of our strategy. By eating more Copi
and reducing fish densities in the Illinois River, we'll
reduce upstream pressure on the barrier systems, further
reducing the risk that these fish may pass through into Lake
Michigan.
The two efforts work hand in hand. When you eat Copi, you’re
part of a solution that helps all of Illinois.
Be sure to visit
https://choosecopi.com to find restaurants, retailers
and distributors that are serving and selling the product,
plus amazing recipes to cook at home, facts about the fish,
and more.
And if you missed the livestream, you can catch it at
https://youtu.be/U93YVfe0gxY
Choose Copi. Eat well, do good.

Yesteryears Pic of the Day
Rob Boteler & Graham Wilson
at
Hoppies
Marina
click pic to enlarge
The Picture of YesterYears on this day in 2017 .... was
sent to us by Claudia Burris who hails out of Hoppies
Marina in Kimmswick, Mo
Hi Bill!
Look who I met at Hoppies! Rob Boteler and Graham Wilson came
down because they had heard so much about Hoppies on
riverbills.com. "We had to come down and see Hoppies because we
see photos from Claudia on Riverbills every other day!" That's
the comment I heard as they pulled up to the marina!
Wilson introduced Boteler (pronounced
BOAT-LER) to boating many years ago when they were next door
neighbors in St. Charles. "He's gone over to the dark side now,
from sail boating to motor boating," says Wilson, who currently
lives in Lexington, Kentucky. Wilson came up for a cruise with
Boteler, who keeps "Yesterday's Dream" at the Yacht Club, run by
harbor master Andy Alexander.
Their four-day trip included stops at the Alton Marina, The Blue
Owl in Kimmswick, the Grafton Oyster Bar, and Hardin, Illinois.
Boteler says his boat is a Bayliner 2859. "It's 28 feet long and
I have no idea what the 59 stands for," jokes Boteler. The two
boaters were pretty excited about being featured on your web
site!
See you on the river!

River
History....
June 22, 1884 in River History
The Riverboat Montana sank in Missouri
River across from St. Charles where parts of her haul she can still be seen
today in periods of very low water upstream from the 370 bridge.
The Montana was built in 1879 and was the largest paddle wheeler on the
Missouri River...280 feet long. The boat had three decks and stood more than
50 feet tall.
The Montana struck the Old Wabash Railrod Bridge at St. Charles while trying
to pass under it and took on water before running aground on the St. Louis
County side of the river. No one was hurt, but the Montana split in half.

Missouri River In North St. Louis
County
Rescue Effort Launched After On-The-Run
Suspect Ended Up In The River........
On Tuesday, responders began a brief rescue
effort along the Missouri River in Northern St. Louis County
after a man trying to get away from the Police ended up in the
water.
Rescue crews took boats out to Sioux Passage
Park in North St. Louis County in an effort to rescue the man
from the river. The man reportedly got out of the river on his
own and ran away.
Police did not identify the suspect by name
or age, however, an officer had attempted to stop the man while
responding to a destruction of property call. Police are still
working to take the man into custody........

Ohio River Journeys
Man Paddling The Ohio River For
Parkinson's Awareness........
Over the next several weeks, Taylor Dewey
will be kayaking the entire length of the Ohio River in order to
raise funds and awareness for Parkinson's Disease. He began his
six-week-long journey 20 days ago in Pittsburgh.
Each year, Dewey plans an adventure to
undertake while on leave from the Navy. He has paddled other
rivers and even cycled the perimeter of the United States.
This year's adventure has a personal meaning.
Dewey typically raises funds for the Michael J. Fox Foundation
for Parkinson's Disease research as part of Team Fox. He notes
that he had lost his grandmother to Parkinson's about a dozen
years ago........

vessel has a minimum of 1,800 h.p. Towboat operators should
exercise caution, minimize their wake where possible and be
experienced in high water operations. Mariners should remain
vigilant to an increase in debris in the water and maneuver
appropriately. Be aware that a buildup of debris in fleeting
areas may have occurred and take appropriate action, to
prevent any breakaways from occurring. Exercise caution in
all passing and meeting situations and be mindful of all
charted bridge navigational clearances. Buoys may have been
dragged off station, so remain cautious while transiting.
MILE 282.0 -
SUBMERGED OBSTRUCTION
A
submerged obstruction has been reported in the vicinity of
Mile 282.0, possibly protruding from the Louisiana Railroad
Bridge protection cell, LDB, Illinois side landing. Mariners
are urged to exercise caution in the area.

River
History....
June 21, 1819 in River History
The Steamboat, Western Engineer, was shaped and painted to look like a
serpent in an effort to intimidate the Native-Americans. The boat that most
folks called “Long’s Dragon” left St. Louis on this date headed upstream to
Franklin and beyond.

Yellowstone River Flooding Update
The Yellowstone River Flooding Not
Expected To Affect Missouri River.........
Thanks to the flooding along the Yellowstone
River, up to 2 million acre/feet of water is entering the
Missouri River system, as the Yellowstone is but one of many
tributaries that feeds into the Missouri River.
According to John Remus, Chief of the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers' Missouri River Basin Water Management,
this amount of water could fill up to 986,400 Olympic-sized
swimming pools, but as far as the Missouri River system is
concerned, this is just a "drop in the bucket".
THe Upper Missouri RIver Reservoir system is
capable of storing upwards of 72 million acre/feet of water, and
when the reservoir system is operating as it should, it can
easily accommodate the excess water from the Yellowstone
River........

Missouri River Shipping
Transport 360 Operating The Port Of
Kansas City........
Since the start of 2022, Transport 360, who
operates the Port of St. Joseph along the Upper Missouri River,
has been quietly operating the Port of Kansas City in Kansas
City, Missouri.
According to Bill Becker, the CEO of
Transport 360, talks with the Port of Kansas City began in late
fall and the deal was finalized on December 12th. Neither party
announced the agreement at the time.
Becker says that the two port facilities
complement each other, and the Port of St. Joseph has been
steadily growing. He adds that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
has been doing a good job at maintaining the channel........
