Yesteryears Picture of the Day

Hogback 2007

Yester Year's River Pictures of the Day in 2007 ...... were from Dan and Laura Hamilton of Dan's Boats fame. They sent us an update of the Hogback 2007 party.

River Bill-

Hogback 2007 was Great! With the flooding up north the Coast Guard asked us not to bring the group up there- but the party must go on! Two Rivers Marina said they would make a Hogback Party for us! Both Jamie and John were great. They had activities planned for our group- about 100 boaters- and even took everyone out on the Party Barge which ended up being a great time on Saturday. We went 8 miles up the Salt River . Dan’s Boats had a Pig Roast on Friday, there were all sorts of contests and a dinner on Saturday Evening. There were great prizes from: Grafton Harbor , Port Charles Marina, Golf Graphics, Captain Jack’s & Bargain Books. On the return trip home we were locked thru with that traveling group of Gypsy’s on that crazy barge of theirs- so here they come!

Next years commodores are Glen & Julie Morris who hail out of John’s Boat Harbor (I think) and if they hold to tradition it would be Aug 22-23-24, 2008. The motto is “All the way in 08!” So mark your calendars!

Thanks,

Dan & Laura

New Laws In Effect On the Water for the Labor Day Weekend

The traditional end of summer is upon us and while many people will be boating well into the fall, for some Labor Day weekend is the last hurrah of the summer boating season. The Missouri State Water Patrol asks that boaters stay vigilant in their safe boating practices. Remember the rivers and lakes will be more crowded than other weekends due to the three day weekend. Slow down and be courteous to other boaters around you. Allow for extra time while loading and launching boats.

In addition to the added traffic there will be a number of new laws that will take affect on Thursday, August 28 which boaters will need to be aware of.

· Missouri's legal blood alcohol content for operating a vessel will drop from .10% to .08%.

· Boats must come to an idle speed within 100 feet of an emergency vessel that is displaying flashing lights.

· The nighttime speed limit of 30 m.p.h. has been expanded to include all state waterways.

A law making it illegal to obstruct the flow of traffic on the water was expanded to apply to all state waterways.

Southeast Missouri Lake Project of the Year for Army Corps

August 20, St. Louis – Wappapello Lake in southeastern Missouri near Poplar Bluff was recently recognized as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Natural Resources Project of Year. Lake personnel accepted the award from Lt. Gen. Robert L. Van Antwerp, Chief of Engineers, at a ceremony in Pittsburgh August 4.

For over 40 years the Army Corps of Engineers has recognized excellence with its Project of the Year Award. The Corps operates and maintains over 400 multi-use lake projects around the country and all are eligible to submit a nomination package. Wappapello Lake was first selected as the representative project for the Mississippi Valley Division before being forwarded to the Headquarters panel for consideration.

The award recognizes a project for its accomplishments in management efficiency, public involvement, public safety, management effectiveness, and partnerships as related to all elements of the Natural Resources Management Program. The evaluation focuses on management efforts that contribute to greater efficiency and effectiveness in use of personnel and funds, while sustaining or improving good customer service and stewardship of project resources.

Gary Stilts, Wappapello Lake’s operations manager, was ecstatic at the news.

Grafton Is Getting a New Water Supply System.......

Grafton’s water supply problems have been going on for months. Last year, they underwent several boil orders due to the large amounts of bacteria in their water. The Grafton City Council has agreed to sign on with Illinois-American Water Company. They had tried to drill for more water, but they ran into many problems. Out of the two wells that they have, one of them is totally nonfunctioning. After two test drills, one turned out too shallow and they hit bedrock with the other one. When this happened, Illinois-American Water Company made them an offer. Illinois-American will supply all of the necessary piping and the sufficient meters. This change will give the people in Grafton a much better water system even though it may cost a little more.

The LST Is Stranded On Mississippi River Due To Low Water.....

The USS LST 325 World War II troop and tank landing craft was scheduled to be in Moline by Wednesday is stuck in Burlington because of the low water. The Mississippi River is closed at Oquawka.

The ship needs a minimum of eight feet of water and the low waters has made it hard for the pilot to maneuver it. The sediment and sand has shifted due to the recent flooding and has caused the water to be shallow in many places. There were several places where they hit ground.

What To Do With All Of Those Carp.........

Fishermen in Utah are catching millions of carp. They are eating all of the plants at the bottom of the lakes and have caused problems for other fish that usually eat those plants.

Now they are trying to figure out what to do with all of the dead carp. Some ideas on the table so far include; fish meal, pet food, fish sticks, and canned carp. Other ideas include converting carp into fuel for our cars, garden fertilizer, fish sauce, a protein source in imitation crab meat, and for human consumption in countries in Asia and Europe.

A professor at Brigham Young University reported he has developed a simple method of liquefying carp into a product that don't require refrigeration !
