NEWSLETTER OF THE LEWIS AND CLARK TRAIL HERITAGE FOUNDATION MARCH 2019 3 A Special Remembrance. The LCTHF lost a good friend with the passing of Donal Wilkinson, 54, on December 4, 2018, at his home on the Rose Creek Nature Preserve in Pullman, WA. Donal showed up at our Hog Heaven Muzzleloaders group (Eastern WA and Northern ID) about eight years ago and immediately became an active member bringing Boy Scout groups to our rendezvous events. A few years ago his scouts appeared in Dr. David Peck's Donal Wilkinson aboard the Portland Spirit near the Astoria-Megler video production of "Or Perish in the Bridge at the LCTHF’s 50th Annual Meeting. Photo by John Montague Attempt.” Donal quickly became interested in my medical presentations and I saw in him a replacement for me in the fourth grade Rendezvous for Lewiston schools. He also became a favorite of the Benton City Schools Environmental Week at Camp Wooten along the Tucannon River where he taught Fur-Trade era skills to middle school students. Last fall Donal attended the Fur Trade Symposium in Bismarck, ND, and helped me display and discuss over 100 medicines, many of which he had worked with me to bottle and label. I had health issues and was unable to attend the LCTHF's 50th Annual Meeting. In my stead, Donal presented my illustrated talk on the "Medals and Money of the Lewis and Clark Era" and by all reports did an outstanding job. He was looking forward to contributing short "Kids Korner" articles to WPO when unknown events caused him to take his own life. He gave so much of himself to so many others. Here in Hog Heaven Country we are all devastated by the loss. Submitted by John Fisher Meriwether Lewis and William Clark Activities are scheduled this summer to commemorate events that enabled the captains to work together on their mission of discovery. Harpers Ferry National Historical Park in Harpers Ferry, WV, will celebrate its 75th anniversary on June 28 to 30, 2019. This anniversary is of importance to the Eastern Legacy part of the expedition as Lewis obtained many items from the Harpers Ferry Arsenal and Armory. The Harpers Ferry Park Association has scheduled many events including musical performances, living history presentations, and special guided hikes. Be sure to spend time at the Meriwether Lewis Museum and the Meriwether Lewis at Harpers Ferry Trail. The commemoration of the 225th anniversary of the Battle of Fallen Timbers will take place from August 16 to 20, 2019, in the Toledo/Maumee, Ohio, area.

Historical and commemorative medals can often be used to help illustrate the plight of a People. Such is the case with medals issued during the period of the War of 1812. As wars go, this war was fairly short and had relatively few casualties1, but it had enormous impact on the future of the countries and inhabitants of the Northern Hemisphere. At the conclusion of this conflict, the geography, destiny and social structure of the newly-formed United States of America and Canada were forever and irrevocably altered.

  • 3. Community Facilities and Services
    Appendix A 3. Community Facilities Background Information and Services INTRODUCTION Community facilities and services are required to support the functions of the community and any potential new development. These include such necessities as utilities, public safety, parks and recreation, and general governmental services. These services are supplied by County Government, municipalities, special districts, and utilities in order to enhance the overall quality of life. The rapid growth of St. Charles County has been paralleled by increased demand for public facilities and services. The timely provision of these is a critical part in making the county an attractive place for businesses and residents alike. This chapter reviews the service capabilities of water and sanitary sewer service providers, the service areas for various utilities, fire protection and emergency medical service (EMS) agencies, law enforcement, park and recreational opportunities, and County health services. Social service organizations operating within the county are also reviewed, including the services provided by these agencies, the populations served, and the future services to be offered. WATER SERVICE The water service area map depicts the water service areas of various municipalities, Missouri American Water Company, and Public Water Supply District No. 2 (PWSD2) of St. Charles County. The largest geographical service area is that of Public Water Supply District No. 2 covering sections of both St. Charles and Warren Counties. This district provides service in St. Charles County generally south of Interstate 70 from the area along Route K west to the Warren County line, and south and east to the Missouri River. The district provides service to the cities of Foristell, Lake Saint Louis, New Melle, and Augusta, and portions of the cities of Dardenne Prairie, O’Fallon and Weldon Spring.
