SelectPlusLevees Fail in MissouriLevees Fail in MissouriThe Associated PressThe Mississippi River is overflowing 90 percent of the levees in one Missouri County as officials announce the levee breaks are easing pressure on many further downstream. (June 20)[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE] [Notes:aerials of WINFIELD, MO levee break]Emergency officials in Missouri say it’s likely more levees will fall victim to the Mississippi River.Three broke Thursday in the Show-Me State including this one in Winfield. The breaks send water gushing toward homes and farm fields. Officials say those levee breaks are actually lowering crest predictions downstream since tens of thousands of gallons of water won’t be flowing south.

From Showboat’s 2nd version (1936) Paul Robeson – Ol’ Man River
Ol’ Man River (Jerome Kern – Oscar Hammerstein II)
Lyrics from the Original Libretto
Dare’s an ol’ man cal’d de Mississipi
Dat’s de ol’ man dat I’d lek to be
Whot does he care
iv de world gets trauble
Whot does he care iv de land lev’s free.
Ol’ man river,
Dat ol’ man river
He mus’know sumpin’
But don’t say nuthin’,
He jes’keeps rollin’
He keeps on rollin’ along.
He don’ plant taters,
He don’t plant cotton,
An’ dem dat plants’em
is soon forgotten,
But ol’man river,
He jes keeps rollin’along.
You an’me, we sweat an’ strain,
Body all achin’ an’ racket wid pain,
Tote dat barge!
Lif’ dat bale!
You gits a little drunk
An’ you lands in jail.
Ah gits weary
An’ sick of tryin’
Ah’m tired of livin’
An’ skeered of dyin’,
But ol’ man river,
He jes’keeps rolling’ along.
[Colored folks work on de Mississippi,
Colored folks work while de white folks play,
Pullin’ dose boats from de dawn to sunset,
Gittin’ no rest till de judgement day.
Don’t look up
An’ don’t look down,
You don’ dast make
De white boss frown.
Bend your knees
An’bow your head,
An’ pull date rope
Until you’ dead.)
Let me go ‘way from the Mississippi,
Let me go ‘way from de white man boss;
Show me dat stream called de river Jordan,
Dat’s de ol’ stream dat I long to cross.
O’ man river,
Dat ol’ man river,
He mus’know sumpin’
But don’t say nuthin’
He jes’ keeps rollin’
He keeps on rollin’ along.
(Long ol’ river forever keeps rollin’ on…)
He don’ plant tater,
He don’ plant cotton,
An’ dem dat plants ‘em
Is soon forgotten,
but ol’ man river,
He jes’ keeps rollin’ along.
(Long ol’ river keeps hearing dat song).
You an’ me, we sweat an’ strain,
Body all achin an’ racked wid pain.
Tote dat barge!
Lif’ dat bale!
Git a little drunk
An’ you land in jail.
Ah, gits weary
An’ sick of tryin’
Ah’m tired of livin’
An’ skeered of dyin’,
But ol’ man river,
He jes’keeps rollin’ along!

This is more of a pre-scout for Whitetails in Missouri. We saw deer tracks, droppings, and a doe itself. Looks like a great place to hunt. Heck, even the locals say it’s great! This is filmed in Ted Shanks Conervation area. In a very rural part of Missouri, where grocery stores are an hour drive away and even McDonalds is out of the question, is this interesting wilderness park.
Ted Shanks Conservation Area is located in northern Pike County at the confluence of the Salt and Mississippi Rivers. The area was once a hunting and battleground for Sac and Fox Indians from the north and the Osages from the south. European colonization of the area began when the Spanish issued Francois Saucier a land grant in 1799. Saucier was the son of the designer of Fort de Chartres and was once the owner of the building that became the Cahokia Courthouse. The land in turn became property of Sauciers son-in-law’s brother, Auguste Chouteau, one of the founders of St. Louis, and then to Neree Valle of one of the prominent families of Ste. Genevieve. Zebulon Pike charted the mouth of the Salt River in 1805 while conducting a reconnaissance of the upper Mississippi River. The area was acquired in the early 1970s using Pittman-Robertson funds, the federal excise tax on sporting arms and ammunition.
Ted Shanks Conservation Area consists of 6,705 acres and contains a variety of habitats including bottomland hardwood timber, marshes, emergent wetlands, agricultural row crops, oxbow lakes and sloughs, old fields, and upland woods. Ted Shanks Conservation Area borders nearly 9 miles of the Mississippi River, 5 miles of the Salt River, and has over 2 miles of river bluffs. Two natural areas, Oval Lake and Bur-Reed Slough, are located on the property. The area consists of 3,827 acres of Missouri Department of Conservation lands and 2,878 acres of lands managed under a cooperative agreement between the MDC, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The area allows a variety of outdoor activities. Two boat ramps allow access to the 70-acre Horseshoe Lake and the lower wetlands for anglers and canoeists and there are more than 500 acres of fishable water including the Salt and Mississippi Rivers. Over 35 miles of levees and a 1/3-mile Disabled-Accessible Trail provide excellent hiking opportunities. The area has over a dozen primitive campsites. Picnic tables are available in the summer months at the adjacent Dupont Reservation conservation Area. Hunting for deer, dove, quail, rabbit, squirrel, wild turkey, and waterfowl is allowed and blinds for waterfowl are located on the site.
The headquarters building contains exhibits, displays, and slide programs on outdoor related topics and includes an observation room that overlooks a marsh. A self-guided auto tour that takes a circuitous route of over 11 miles around the area introduces visitors to the wetlands, management techniques, and wildlife of the Ted Shanks Conservation Area. A brochure of the auto tour can be picked up at the headquarters building. Group tours are available on request.
Stay tuned for future Hunts! God Bless!
