  • The Honey War by Cassie Dinges

    The Honey War by Cassie Dinges

    Dinges 1 The Honey War by Cassie Dinges Cassie Dinges is currently a junior at William Jewell College. Next year, she plans to graduate with a degree in both English and Psychology. Cassie has a passion for journalism, and is on the editorial staff of the College’s newspaper, the Hilltop Monitor . In her spare time, she helps with the Lion and Unicorn Reading Program in Liberty, reads, and questions the grammar of others. After graduation, her largest aspiration is to move to New York City to pursue a graduate degree in English, as well as procure an editing position at a publishing house. The concept of a border war is not new to many, especially residents of the Midwest region. Many Missourian children are brought up with tales of civil war scuffles between their state’s Bushwhackers and the Kansan Jayhawkers. The nation still has reminders of these guerilla warfare showdowns today in the form of museums and the mascot of Kansas University. While the border war between Missouri and Kansas is still alive and well known, few know that the Show-Me State almost declared war with the fledgling territory of Iowa. Thirteen miles of land into modern-day Southern Iowa, as well as many profitable honeybee trees became the fodder for a border battle in 1839. This dispute is nicknamed “The Honey War” and was not dismissed after months of bloodshed but rather by a ruling of the Supreme Court. The trouble between Missouri and Iowa can be traced back to the vague state boundaries established for the former when it gained its statehood in 1821.

The Rapids between Nauvoo, Illinois and Keokuk, Iowa- Hamilton, Illinois is one of two major rapids on the Mississippi River that limited Steamboat traffic on the river through the early 19th century. The rapids just above the confluence of the Des Moines River were to contribute to the Honey War in the 1830s between Missouri and Iowa over the Sullivan Line that separates the two states.

    WINDSOR Twin Skylines Snap Shot of Windsor Once known as Ford City – proud history in auto manufacturing Canada’s southernmost city, bordering the USA and directly opposite Detroit Major international gateway and busiest border crossing in Canada Home to University of Windsor and St. Clair College “We have a spectacular Intelligent Community of the waterfront with uninterrupted Year award in 2010 access – it is one of our jewels” Downtown Windsor is beginning to capitalize on its strengths, its exemplary institutional sector, its entertainment functions and its natural assets, to emerge as a more vital core. In recent years, the City has played a critical role in strengthening the downtown and succeeded in building strong partnerships with key stakeholders to propel these revitalization efforts forward. Despite these important gains, downtown Windsor has some way to go to reach its potential. It faces significant challenges in terms of addressing visible vacancies along its main shopping streets, attracting new businesses, growing its job base, filling its office inventory and attracting more residents. Stakeholders in downtown Windsor will need to continue to work together to address these challenges and ensure that downtown Windsor can keep moving forward along the road to revitalization. 1 Downtown Windsor Timeline 1701 – Sieur de Lamonthe establishes Fort Pontchartrain, the area’s first European settlement. 1749 – Windsor is settled by the French as “Petite Cote,” originally a small Jesuit mission. It is the oldest continually inhabited settlement in Canada west of Montreal. 1792 – The Duff Baby House is built by Alexander Duff as 1794 – The settlement of Sandwich is founded following a fur trade post.
