Biographical / Historical Sketch Discussions began in 1975 at Missouri State University to establish a center focused on researching the Ozarks region, and in 1979, those ideas came to fruition when the university established the Center for Ozarks Studies. Robert Flanders, professor of history, served as director for the Center. The Center was originally located at 1030 Florence, a small house south of Craig Hall. Its purpose was to promote pride in Ozarks heritage and to research and study the Ozarks region. The COS provided a variety of services in the i form of consultations, documentary information, public programs, and local history courses. The Center also conducted several grant-funded projects which included films related to Shannon County, Missouri, oral histories, and historical research on the Mark Twain National Forest. The Center closed in 1995 following Dr. Flanders’ retirement. When asked, Dr. Robert Flanders indicated that the most important thing the Center accomplished was to demythologize the Ozarks and to give the people of the Ozarks something substantial about their own people. COS accomplished this through efforts such as OzarksWatch magazine and the Sassafras presentation. Scope and Content The information within the Center for Ozarks Studies material encompasses a wide timeframe beginning as early as the mid 1800s and ending in the 1990s. The Ozarks region includes Arkansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma. Most of the material relates to various grants and research projects conducted by the Center. Below is a brief list of series, followed by a more detailed series description.

Materials include bibliographies, correspondence, grants and contract information, and conference materials. Series II: Courses This series consists of materials used by Robert Flanders for courses he taught, including readings, syllabi, and tests. Series III: Robert Flanders’ Personal Papers This small series includes course papers written by Robert Flanders, research information for publications, and correspondence. Series IV: Subject Files Subject Files consist of copied articles and miscellaneous subject clipping files on various topics including archaeology, mills, and the Missouri census. Series V: Forest/Fire-free Range The Center assisted the Center for Archaeological Research in a fifteen-month historic and pre-historic cultural resource overview of and for the Mark Twain National Forest. The Center’s contribution to the final report was a two volume, partially annotated bibliography for sources of Ozarks history and culture, and an essay. The series consists of subject files relating to the National Forest system. Series VI : Oral History Transcripts Oral history transcripts of various COS projects are combined under this series. Audio cassettes of oral histories are located in Series XXII: Audio Cassettes. Series VII: Buffalo River Oral History Project, Phase I and II The National Park Service contracted the Center for Ozarks Studies to conduct two phases of oral history interviews with persons associated with the Boxley and Erbie Valleys of Buffalo National River, Arkansas. Audio cassettes of the oral histories are located in Series XXII: Audio Cassettes. Series VIII: Shannon County Projects The Center produced several media projects related to Shannon County. Shannon County: Of Home and the River (1977) was a 32-minute multi-image program using 3 screens and 6 projectors. Sassafras: An Ozarks Odyssey (1978-79) was a 52-minute multi-image program that included multiple projection surfaces and 12 projectors. A Taste of Sassafras (1980) was a 25-minute derivation of Sassafras: An Ozarks Odyssey. From 1976 to 1981, the Center for Ozarks Studies produced two sixty-minute documentary films about the history and culture of Shannon County for national television broadcast. The result of the project was Shannon County: Home and Shannon County: The Hearts of the Children. These films were funded by grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities and produced in partnership with Veriation Films, an independent film company from Palo Alto, California. Home won the CINE Golden Eagle in 1982 and an American Film Festival Blue Ribbon in 1983. The Center for Ozarks Studies also composed a history of the Alley Spring community of Shannon County as part of a grant-funded project for the Ozark National Scenic Riverways, iii National Park Service in 1985. The report was entitled, “Alley, a Mill Hamlet: Society, Economy, Landscape”. The material within this series is the research accumulated for the film projects and the Alley Spring history. Information may also be found relating to counties bordering Shannon County. Series IX: Shannon County Project Oral History Transcripts These transcripts relate to the Shannon County Projects listed above. Many of the transcripts have corresponding audio cassettes within Series XXII: Audio Cassettes. Series X: Shannon County Current Wave This series consists of news clipping subject files related to the Shannon County Projects and Shannon County in general. The Shannon County Current Wave is printed in Eminence, Missouri. Series XI: Haseltine Family History These research materials relate to the Haseltine family of Greene County. Series XII: Missouri Counties These subject files for various counties in the state include news clippings, journal articles, brochures, and family histories. The series is sorted by county. Series XIII: National Register Nominations Robert Flanders was a member of the Historic Preservation board responsible for evaluating submitted nominations for the state of Missouri in the 1970s. Nominations relating to the Ozarks region were kept for this series. Series XIV: Historic Inventory Surveys This series is predominantly inventories of Iron and Washington Counties completed in 1979-1980 as part of a grant-funded project. Ironton, Arcadia, and Pilot Knob were priority areas for the project. Other projects included surveys in Benton, Camden, Miller, Osage, McDonald, Barry, Stone, Taney, and Ozark Counties. The series also includes various county inventories conducted by students for what appears to be class assignments/projects. Series XV: Arkansas Subject files, brochures, and news clippings relating to northern Arkansas make up this series. Series XVI: Tourism This series contains brochures and maps primarily from Missouri, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. Series XVII: Sassafras Under a grant from the Missouri Committee for the Humanities, the Center for Ozarks Studies collaborated with MSU’s Media Production Department in the conception and creation of Sassafras: An Ozarks Odyssey, an hour long multi-image program presenting the Ozarks region as a geographic

    March 22, 2021 Jeff Robichaud Water, Wetlands, and Pesticides Division US EPA Region 7 11201 Renner Boulevard Lenexa, KS 66219 RE: EPA Proposed Decision on Missouri’s 2020 303(d) List Dear Mr. Robichaud: On behalf of the Missouri Corn Growers Association (MCGA) and the Missouri Soybean Association (MSA) we would like to thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed decision on Missouri’s 2020 303(d) List of Impaired Waters (hereinafter called the 2020 303d list). In addition to our comments, MSA and MCGA also fully supports comments submitted by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (Department) and the Missouri Clean Water Commission (CWC). For over 50 years, MCGA and MSA has worked with several generations of crop farmers to achieve major milestones and advances in Missouri’s agriculture industry. As grassroots organizations, MCGA & MSA invests considerable time and resources in supporting and promoting policies, education and research that is advancing crop production, sustaining grower profitability and improving environmental stewardship. MCGA and MSA are committed to working with both our growers and governmental partners in developing policies, practices and technology that benefit Missouri farmers and their local communities. MCGA and MSA purposely engaged on Missouri’s lake numeric nutrient criteria (Lake NNC) rule at a very early stage. Contributing technical expertise and suggestions on policy development, our staff participated on stakeholder committees and met directly with Department and EPA staff, voicing our positions, providing farmer perspectives, and contributing to the rule’s content and eventual adoption. We, along with many other agriculture, industry and municipal stakeholder groups, understood the importance of getting the Lake NNC rule developed right for Missouri, and more importantly, understood the potential unintended consequences of getting it wrong.

    Evidence gathered from the Pleistocene Spring Bogs on the Pomme de Terre River indicates that approximately 30,000 years ago, during the last glacial period, animals such as the mastodon, tapir, musk ox, ground sloth, and giant beaver roamed the upper Osage Basin. During this period, spruce forests covered the area and the climate was much colder than today. The earliest mention of the Osage River was by Marquette, but the first known scientific expedition to the Osage River was in 1719 by Charles Du Tisne, who named the river for the Osage Indians. The Osage River was used as a part of the Santa Fe Trail.

    http://www.MSCNews.net/news/index.cfm?nk=65977 Discover nature with MDC through Eagle Days From December through February, Missouri's winter eagle watching is spectacular. Discover nature with the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) through Eagle Days events around the state, or enjoy eagle viewing on your own. Because of the state’s big rivers, many lakes, and abundant wetlands, Missouri is one of the leading lower 48 states for bald eagle viewing. Each fall, thousands of these great birds migrate south from their nesting range in Canada and the Great Lakes states to hunt in the Show-Me State. Eagles take up residence wherever they find open water and plentiful food. More than 2,000 bald eagles are typically reported in Missouri during winter. Eagle Days Events MDC Eagle Days events are listed below. They include live captive-eagle programs, exhibits, activities, videos, and guides with spotting scopes. Watch for eagles perched in large trees along the water's edge. View them early in the morning to see eagles flying and fishing. Be sure to dress for winter weather and don't forget cameras and binoculars.
