Seniors to State Parks’
For Immediate Release Missouri Parks Associations Announces 6th Year of Support for ‘Seniors to State Parks’ (Kansas City, Missouri, February 15, 2020) The Missouri Parks Association (MPA) is pleased to announce its 6th year of support for ‘Seniors to State Parks’. In partnership with the Missouri State Parks system, this innovative program provides seniors the opportunity to visit Missouri’s state parks and historical sites. Made possible by an endowment from the Ben and Bettie Breeding family, ‘Seniors to State Parks,’ launched in 2015, will have served almost 4,000 seniors by the end of 2020. MPA’s sponsorship has allowed seniors and persons with disability to participate in outdoor adventures such as to seeing the fall colors along the Missouri River at Weston Bend State Park, making Dutch apple cobbler and fresh squeezed lemonade while exploring the history at the First Missouri State Capitol State Historic Site, and a five-mile canoe trip down the Meramec River. Plans to expand to new areas and programs in 2020 promises a broader reach with a greater diversity of experiences. “The endowment from Ben and Betty Breeding has allowed MPA to expand its mission of providing educational awareness of our park system. Missouri State Parks provide an ideal environment for older adults to socialize with others, stay active, and have fun! The collaboration with Missouri State Parks has benefited older adults throughout the state and MPA is thrilled to be able to fund the program again this year,” said Terry Whaley, MPA President. “The Seniors to Park Program allows senior citizens, and those who might not otherwise get to experience the recreation and interpretation of a state park or state historic site, the opportunity to spend a day exploring or learning about Missouri resources and history,” said Rebecca Young, recreation section chief and program coordinator.

Vermont State House, 115 State Street, Montpelier, VT 05633 Year completed**: 1859 Architectural style: Renaissance Revival FYI: The senate chamber still has its original furnishings, plus working gas lamps, and a “gasolier”—a gaslight chandelier that was rediscovered elsewhere in 1979, refurbished, and reinstalled in the chamber.

Bava June 13, 1981 August 28, 2015 3 The Missouri State Highway Patrol The Creation Many efforts were made between 1923 and 1931 to establish a traffic regulatory agency with statewide jurisdiction or for a state police agency. Several bills were introduced in the legislature, but they all failed. Two bills were introduced in the legislature in 1931, one calling for a state patrol and the other for a state police agency. Organized labor was opposed to a state police, fearing the new agency would be used to break strikes as had been done in other states, but did not oppose an agency whose primary jurisdiction would be motor vehicle enforcement. County sheriff's departments feared a state police would infringe on their authority and center around enforcing the Prohibition Act. Because of these concerns, the bill creating a state police agency was given very little consideration. Senate Bill 36, establishing a state patrol, was approved by the legislature after several amendments and sent to the governor's office on April 23, 1931. Governor Henry Caulfield signed the bill into law on April 24, 1931, creating the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

Community Profile
Hazard Mitigation Plan Community Profile Community Profile: Introduction Jurisdiction Community Profiles Each participating jurisdiction was asked to write or update a profile that includes information like the history of their jurisdiction, demographics, future development plans and significant historic disasters. Those profiles were integrated by the Office or Emergency Management and transferred into proper format. Because of the various types and sized of jurisdictions (school districts, fire districts, and municipalities), the profiles may not include the same information. For example, smaller fire districts that are ran by volunteers may not have expansion or development plans at this time compared to larger districts with paid fire-fighters. Nevertheless, the profiles provide a basic understanding from staffing figures to a brief history of each jurisdiction. Additionally, it should be noted that a great deal of historical and demographic data is derived from Census reports. Evangel and Drury University Evangel University and Drury University are private Universities and therefore do not qualify as participants of the 2015 Mitigation Plan. Capturing their demographics was included to more accurately represent the student populations present in Greene County.

RESEARCHED BY JUSTIN WATKINS 206-214 South Main Street COPYRIGHT © 2008 JUSTIN WATKINS 206-214 The First State Capitol of Missouri Edna McElhiney Olson, Historical Saint Charles, Missouri (St. Charles, MO: Olson, 1967), 33-34 One of the most outstanding historic buildings in Saint Charles is the First State Capitol of Missouri. These structures were erected by two brothers, Ruluff and Charles Peck. They were early prominent and influential merchants and the building was used as their residence and store building. It was known as “Peck’s Row.” It was actually three buildings under one saddleback roof. To the south was an arched driveway which led to the ferry and the river. The second floor housed the first Masonic Lodge organized in 1818. The third building was built Chancey Shepard and rooms on the second floor were used as the governor’s office and committee rooms. The bitterly fought slavery question was settled in the “Missouri Compromise” of 1820. The combined efforts of Col. Benjamin Emmons, Hiram Baber [not “Babler” as Olson spells it], and Daniel Morgan Boone at the 1820 Constitutional Convention at St. Louis led to the convention’s approval to house the First State Capitol in Saint Charles. The city fathers established a “Town Board of Trustees” and guaranteed that the State would be furnished a seat of government “free of expenses to the State.” The guarantors were to pay to Ruluff Peck the sum of $100/yr for the use of the second floor. The arches in the walls of the second floor were opened to form the “Great Assembly Hall.” The Legislators attended the sessions coming on horseback, and wearing fur coats, coonskin caps and leather moccasins.
