Mississippi River At St. Paul, Minnesota
Man Fleeing Police Dies After Jumping From A River Bridge........
Thursday night, a man died after running from Police officers in his car, stopping on a Mississippi River bridge in St. Paul, and jumping off the span.
South St. Paul Police Commander Brian Wicke states that officers were trying to stop the driver for traffic infractions. He was reportedly driving at a high rate of speed, and drove through a stop light.
Police report that the man initially stopped, but drove off prior to an officer speaking with him. After a short chase, the man stopped on the Lafayette Bridge and jumped, landing on a grassy area near the river........

The Lake of the Ozarks features more shoreline than the state of California, and requires considerable collaboration and volunteers to keep the Lake's shoreline clean.
Better than 14,000 volunteers have participated in Adopt-The-Shoreline events since the group was organized into a beautification effort in 1991........

Missouri Fishing News
Trout In Taneycomo Affected By Low Oxygen Levels........
Typically, fall is an excellent time to go fishing, however, anglers fishing for trout on Lake Taneycomo need to understand that the current water quality conditions make this a stressful time of year for trout.
The primary cause of stress for the trout is low levels of dissolved oxygen in Taneycomo's water. As the temperatures cool, the situation will be reversed.
For now, the anglers that plan to fish on Taneycomo and release trout they catch can minimize the stress to the fish by reducing the time taken to reel in and then release the fish........
