Mississippi River Near Cape Girardeau, Missouri Travelers Recover Stolen Boat After High Speed Chase........
On Sunday, an alleged boat thief was arrested in Cape Girardeau following a high speed chase along the Mississippi River. 44 year old Richard A. Futrell has been charged with one Class B felony count of stealing for appropriating a watercraft without consent.
The owner of the boat and a second man were on a 1,200 mile trip from Webber Falls, Oklahoma to Chicago when the boat was stolen from the Red Star Boat Dock area.
The men located Furtrell and the missing boat with the help of some Cape Girardeau boaters. After a high speed chase, the men were able to reclaim their boat and resume their trip north........

Mississippi River Management Some River Changes May Be Coming.........
Congressman Sam Graves stopped in Hannibal, Missouri to discuss the progress of the Water Resources Development Act of 2020 through Congress. Most of Graves' time was spent listening to river levee district officials' concerns.
While the specific issues varied from levee district to levee district, the source of levee district officials source of frustration was often the same - the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Graves revealed that he is a member of a group in Congress that is studying taking the inland water program away from the Corps and transferring responsibility to the Department of Transportation........

Mississippi River At Alton, Illinois Mississippi Earthtones Festival Coming Up.... With Some Changes....
The Mississippi Earthtones Festival is slated to be held this year on September 19th, however, the event will be considerably scaled down from past years. The street festival is gone this year and in it's place are a small series of events including a nearly 4 hour long movie.
The movie shown during Mississippi Earthtones Festival will be the director's cut of Woodstock: Three Days of Peace and Music. The film will be shown at the Henry Street parking lot, which is the same lot used for the Farmer's and Artisan's Market.
Other events scheduled for the Mississippi Earthtones Festival include a GPS-based scavenger hunt and an art exhibit. The next week will be the annual trash cleanup........

Missouri River At St. Charles, Missouri A Look Back At The Opening Of The Mark Twain Bridge.........
During the first week of September 1958, the new Missouri River Bridge at St. Charles, Missouri was opened to traffic in phases. The new span replaced the 1904-vintage St. Charles Rock Road Bridge downriver that had become overwhelmed by 16,000 vehicles daily.
The new $8.5 million bridge was a key part of the Mark Twain Expressway, which eventually became Interstate 70. The 24 mile, $97 million Mark Twain Expressway from downtown St. Louis into St. Charles paved the way for migration into St. Charles County and opened up a clear drive across the state........

Missouri River At Jefferson City, Missouri Heartland Port Project Moving Ahead Quickly........
The proponents of what is now being referred to as the Heartland Port along the Missouri River near Jefferson City, Missouri have been proceeding quickly. The proposed port would be an ideally located port geared towards Missouri's corn and soybean growers.
On May 15th the Missouri General Assembly approved the transfer of 116 acres of land from the state to the Heartland Port Authority. The land is located between the Ike Skelton Training Center and the Algoa Correctional facility east of Jefferson City.
The next step for the port project is the utilization of a USDA Rural Business Development Grant that was recently awarded to the port for conceptual design and environmental work. The $120,000 grant is slated for preliminary planning purposes........

Mississippi River Art St. Charles, Missouri A Successful Summer So Far For The Boathouse........
At the beginning of the summer, Toni Lutrell, owner of The Boathouse in St. Charles, was not sure how business was going to go during the COVID-19 pandemic, noting that making the correct decisions has been hard and stressful.
As the summer tourism season begins to wind down, Luttrell is able to say that she made the right decisions this season, as the changes made to operating hours and reducing capacity have led to a successful season. The Boathouse never closed for a COVID case.
Lutrell says that she has not seen the river this busy since 2012. She adds that they believe that the river has been everyone's "happy place" where they go to escape the world's troubles........

Mississippi River Headwaters Headwaters Erosion Issues To Be Addressed After Tourism Season........
Tourists are flocking to Itasca State Park in Minnesota to check out the headwaters of the Mighty Mississippi River. Some 500,000 visitors each year are walking across the rock dam that makes the end of Lake Itasca and the beginning of the Mississippi River.
The walk across the baby Mississippi River has gotten longer than it used to be, however, with half a million visitors per year dragging sand, gravel and dirt into the stream, the heavy foot traffic combined with the water flow scouring the shoreline has made the channel considerably wider.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources will be narrowing the channel and shrinking it close to it's original size as part of a $35,000 restoration project slated to begin next month........

Mississippi River Journeys Man Taking Longboard Trip Down THe Mississippi River........
27 year old Daniel Plys of Duluth, Minnesota is taking a 2,500 mile long longboard trip from the headwaters of the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico to raise funds to end childhood hunger in the Twin Ports region.
Plys began his trip on Friday morning near Bemidji, and is longboarding his way to the Gulf to raise funds for his project 2,500 For Hunger. The trip will take about 60 days, but the dream has been years in the making.
Plys lost his father 8 years ago to brain cancer, and to keep his legacy alive, the family founded Project Joy, an organization tasked with addressing the childhood hunger crisis in the Twin Ports.........

Outdoor Recreation Boating, Fishing Participation Surges, Industry Facing Challenges........
According to Lindsey Davis, vice president of the Outdoor Recreation Roundtable, fishing license sales are surging this year, with some states experiencing double-digit increases year-over-year.
Davis said that 2020 has been a tumultuous but important year for outdoor recreation. Back in May, the U.S. Census Bureau ranked the outdoor recreation industry the second most affected industry behind food and accommodations, hit some 31 percent harder than the national average.
There were some bright spots in the ORR's report, as 81 percent of Americans said that they have spent time outdoors during the pandemic; 31 percent of which was for the first time........

Lake Travis Near Austin, Texas Heavy Wakes Caused Five Boats To Sink During Trump Parade........
The Travis County Sheriff's Office reports that heavy wakes generated by other boats caused the sinking of five vessels participating in a parade supporting President Donald Trump on Saturday.
The Sheriff's Office says that the weather on Lake Travis, which is located west of Austin, Texas, was calm on Saturday, however, the large number of boats moving together created the large waves.
Out of the five boats that sank, three have been towed out and two others remain on the bottom of the lake. The Sheriff's Office said that most of the boats taking on water, or even totally submerged, were able to be hooked up and towed prior to sinking to the bottom of the lake........

Added Mon Cumberland River Near Grand Rivers, Kentucky Lightning Damage Prompts Repairs To Carp Barrier........
Later this month, repairs will be made to the Asian carp barrier along the Cumberland River as it sustained damage during a lightning strike. The Bio-Acoustic Fish Fence had been installed at Barkley Lock last fall to prevent the invasive species from passing through the lock into Barkley Lake.
On March 12th, lightning struck the Bio-Acoustic Fish Fence, damaging it's communications systems. The curtain of bubbles is still being turned on for one week and off the next, the barrier's lights and sound systems have been inoperative. An additional lightning strike in May caused no further damage.
THe damage to the BAFF is expected to take approximately two weeks to repair, including sound surveys to verify that the sound system is operating correctly and the installation of surge protection equipment........

Added Mon Jourdan River Near Diamondhead, Mississippi Two Boaters Caught A Massive One-Eyed Alligator........
On August 29th. John Ladner and his buddy Derek Stiglet were chasing a seven foot alligator in the marshes of the Jourdan River near Diamond Head, Mississippi, when they caught something a bit bigger.
THe pair were in Ladner's 14 foot jon boat when they lost the seven footer at a split in the marsh. Stiglet spotted a gator eye and said "It's over there!". It turned out that they ended up hooking a 477.6 pound, 12 foot long alligator.
They ended up having to call in a friend with a larger boat to accommodate the giant alligator and had to use a tractor to remove it once ashore. A game warden determined that it was one of the largest captured around Diamondhead, Mississippi in the last 15 years........

Added Sun Duck Boat News Judge Recommends Dismissing Charges In Duck Boat Case........
On Friday, U.S. Magistrate judge David P. Rush recommended that the criminal charges be dismissed against three men indicted over a duck boat sinking that occurred on Table Rock Lake, killing 17 people 2 summers ago.
Judge Rush concluded that the charges should be dropped because Table Rock Lake is not considered to be a navigable waterway under admiralty law.
A 47 count indictment unsealed in June 2019 alleged Curtis Lanham, general manager of Ride the Ducks Branson, and Charles Baltzell, the manager on duty that day were guilty of a variety of neglect and misconduct charges. An earlier indictment charged Scott McKee with failure to properly assess weather conditions prior to launching the duck boat and not advising passengers to use floatation devices as weather conditions worsened.........

Added Su Lake Of The Ozarks September 5, 1929.... Work Began On The Lake....
On September 5, 1929, crews started clearing the land that would eventually become the Lake of the Ozarks. They cut down some 30,000 acres of timber and tore down the town of Linn Creek.
On May 30, 1931, the Lake of the Ozarks was officially opened to boat traffic. About four months later, workers in the new Bagnell Dam threw the switches to start running current from the large hydroelectric generators. The power generated was carried to a feeder station in Wellston and to present-day Park Hills.
The Union Electric Light and Power Co.'s dam on the Osage River was praised for it's ability to generate electricity. As the dam was being constructed, some rough fishing camps cropped up, but it would be close to three decades for the Lake of the Ozarks to become the summertime playground it is today........

South River Near Annapolis, Maryland "Casket" Floating In The River Actually A Dock........
Earlier this week, Maryland Police investigating reports of a casket spotted floating in the South River near Annapolis, Maryland ended up finding that the object's origin was a bit less macabre.
On Tuesday, a post to an Annapolis radio station's Facebook page showed a rectangular shaped object with flat sides and a curved top bobbing in the South River, which is a tributary of the Chesapeake Bay.
The object, which resembled a coffin, generated concerns of a possible hazard in the water. The Department of Natural Resources Police were sent out to the river to recover the object that turned out to be part of a dock........

Mississippi River Near Wickliffe, Kentucky Four Kentucky Counties Team Up For Port Project........
As part of their economic revitalization efforts, four western Kentucky counties have teamed up with the intention of constructing a river port just downstream from the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers.
Back in July 2019, the Western Kentucky Riverport Authority registered with Kentucky's secretary of state as an official entity, replacing the Ballard-Wickliffe Port Authority.
Ballard, Carlisle, Hickman and Fulton Counties are working to establish the port at one of three sites in Wickliffe. The preferred site is located on property owned by Phoenix Paper at Lower Mississippi Mile 950.2........

Mississippi River Journeys Man Traveling The Mississippi River Aboard A Homemade Raft........
Erich Mische recently set out to travel the length of the Mississippi River aboard a homemade raft dubbed the S.S. Hail Mary. He is taking the trip to raise hope and awareness for his St. Paul, Minnesota-based non profit organization Spare Key, which raises funds for those in medical crises.
Spare Key has been particularly hard hit for funding, as they are not able to host traditional fundraising events because of the COVID-19 outbreak.
Mische says that "Hope on the River" came about because he is a hopeful guy. He believes that they can save Spare Key by making the journey and hoping people will donate. Mische says that the trip also serves as a reminder that we are all in this together........

Mississippi River At Quincy, Illinois Quincy Residents Develop Riverfront Wish List.........
During Wednesday night's Riverfront Master Plan Community workshop, Quincy residents discussed what they would like to see developed along the city's riverfront.
Paul Toenjes, a planner with SWT Designs, one of the consulting firms hired by the city, county and the Quincy Park District to help develop a riverfront master plan says that they want to use their imaginations in thinking great and small. He used examples of other cities that used public and private investment to rejuvenate their riverfronts, including Alton and Grafton.
Bonnie Roy, another planner with SWT Designs says that they would like to make the riverfront unique to Quincy. Some of the items on the wish list for the riverfront include a cruise ship dock, a botanical garden, a kayak and boat rental program, an amphitheater, a Ferris wheel and ice rink, more eateries, including kiosks and food trucks........

Boat Trader is reporting that over the summer, there has been a huge increase in women shopping for boats. Year over year, the overall number of women visiting Boat Trader has increased by 75 percent.
Part of the reason for the increase has been attributed to women and mothers sequestered with kids, who have directed their families and friends to the water for some much-needed recreation.

Missouri River Near St. Joseph, Missouri Transport 360 Moving Wind Turbine Blades Up The Missouri River........
Transport 360, who operates the St. Joseph Regional Port, is currently partnering with the wind turbine industry to unload blades, towers and other components from barges at the St. Joseph Regional Port Facility.
The blades and other turbine parts are being shipped from various ports in the Gulf of Mexico via barge up the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers to the St. Joseph Regional Port.
Transport 360 CEO Bill Becker says that the economics behind the project look good because the blades would otherwise have to be shipped one at a time along the highway system........

Mississippi River At Kimmswick, Missouri Port Project Should Be Completed This Year........
The Jefferson County Port Authority's Board of Directors recently voted to accept a construction contract for a riverboat port facility along the Mississippi River at Kimmswick, Missouri. The facility will be the home base for the Delta Queen riverboat, and will be able to handle other riverboats cruising the Mississippi River.
Neil Breitweiser, the Port Authority Executive Director said that the board had voted unanimously to award the $893,248 contract to XL Contracting of St. Peters to construct the Kimmswick Port. He added that XL Contracting submitted the lowest bid for the project, had the best engineering appraisal and proved that they were up to the challenge of completing the project.
Breitweiser said that the project, which will include the river landing and a roadway leading to it, could begin in early September and is scheduled to be completed within 15 weeks. He adds that the details are being worked out with XL Contracting that may affect the beginning and the cost of the project........
