Information Sheet R Cullimore family. 1090 Collection, 1973-1992. Four folders. This collection is available at The State Historical Society of Missouri. If you would like more information, please contact us at [email protected]. These are papers of the Cullimore family of journalists and outdoor writers. The collection consists of correspondence between Donald B. “Rocky” Cullimore and Dan Saults, and a compi- lation of Saults’s articles in Branson and Springfield, Missouri, newspapers. This collection represents the first installment of what will be a much larger assemblage of Cullimore family papers. It centers on conservationist and author Dan Saults, a close friend of the Cullimore family, and supplements materials in the Saults collection (WHMC-Rolla R403). Saults was a leader in promoting conservation efforts in Missouri. A native of Knob Noster, Mis- souri, he bought the Knob Noster Weekly Gem after graduating from the University of Missouri School of Journalism. He operated the paper until World War Two. Saults served as an officer in the 339th Infantry Regiment in North Africa and Italy during the war, after which he spent a year in Texas. In 1947, Saults joined the Missouri Department of Conservation, heading the depart- ment’s information service and editing the Missouri Conservationist. Later he became the deputy director of the department. In 1964, Saults joined the U. S. Department of the Interior and moved to Washington, D.C., where he worked with the Bureau of Land Management and the Fish and Wildlife Service. He retired in 1973. Saults and his wife, Helen, a former National Park Service employee, moved to a home near Branson, Missouri. He remained active in conservation circles and in 1979 was elected president of the Outdoor Writers Association of America. He wrote a weekly column, “Saulty Observations,” for the Branson Beacon, 1973-1979, and a weekly column for the Springfield Daily News, 1982-1985. Through journalism and shared interests, Saults became a personal friend of Donald Grant Sharp Cullimore (1907-1989). A native of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Cullimore majored in journalism at the University of Missouri-Columbia before beginning a twenty-year career as a newspaperman and editor for the Jefferson City News Tribune and the Wichita Eagle. In 1942 he became the editor of war news from the European Theater for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He also began writing feature stories and articles on “outdoor” themes, and published a ground- breaking series of articles in the Post-Dispatch on the Irish Wilderness of southeastern Missouri. He joined the Outdoor Writers Association of America (OWAA) in 1951. In 1953, Cullimore be- came the first public relations director for Johnson Outboard Motors in Illinois, and in 1958 be- came the public relations director for Gator Trailers of Florida. After the death of his wife in 1958, he became a freelance writer and editor; remaining active in the OWAA. In 1963, he be- came the first full-time executive director of OWAA, a post he held until his retirement in 1972. During his tenure, Cullimore successfully revived the OWAA and established it as a nationally- recognized organization in the outdoor field. In 1976, Cullimore was asked to write the history of the OWAA, resulting in the 1977 publication, Fifty Years of O.W.A.A.—A Historical Summary of the Outdoor Writers Association of America. Cullimore retired to Holiday Island, Arkansas, where he continued writing and editing until his death in 1989. (R1090) Cullimore family. Collection, 1973-1992 2 Cullimore and Dan Saults led efforts to adopt of the Irish Wilderness as a federally-pro- tected wilderness area. Along with Leonard Hall and other conservationists, they were also active in the fight to prevent damming of the Current River by the Army Corps of Engineers. Two of Cullimore’s sons, Donald Barton “Rocky” Cullimore and Lee Marmaduke “Duke” Cullimore, followed his path into journalism and “outdoor” writing. Duke Cullimore was born on 20 September 1933 in Jefferson City, Missouri. He majored in journalism at the University of Missouri-Columbia. He was executive director of the American Water Ski Association, vice- president of Outdoors Inc. (Columbia, Mo.), and editor of Outdoors and Water Skier magazines. He currently resides in Versailles, Missouri. Donald Barton “Rocky” Cullimore was born on 30 March 1940 in Wichita, Kansas. He majored in American History at George Mason University. He spent many years in newspaper journalism with the Jacksonville (Fla.) Journal, Jefferson City (Mo.) News Tribune, Oregon Jour- nal, (Portland, Ore.) Oregonian, and Pacific Coast newspapers. He was editor of Outdoor Amer- ica, Environmental Action, and Water Skier magazines. He currently resides in Fayette, Missouri, where he is a freelance writer and director of public relations and publications at Central Method- ist University. Folders 1 and 2 contain the correspondence between Rocky Cullimore and Dan Saults. Like his father, Rocky Cullimore became a close personal friend of Dan Saults, crediting him as “a significant mentor to me. He shaped my reading habits, encouraged my intellectual curiosity and honed my passions in politics and philosophy.” Cullimore and Saults were in Washington, D.C. at the same time (Saults at the Department of the Interior and Cullimore with Environmental Action). The two began a regular correspondence when Saults left Washington for Branson, Missouri, that continued until Saults’s death in 1985. The major themes of their correspondence are the Outdoor Writers Association of America, the Missouri Department of Conservation, national politics during the Carter and Reagan administrations, people and events in Washington, D.C., local events and life in Missouri (especially Taney County) and Oregon, the Ozark Institute of Eureka Springs, Arkansas, journalism and the newspaper business, and friends and mutual acquaintances among journalists and writers including Clay Anderson, Robert Anderson, Chuck Cadieux, L. B. Cook, Donald G. Cullimore, Elmo Ingenthron, Lee Marmaduke “Duke” Cullimore, Harry Fey, Jim Keefe, Lynn Morrow, George Reiger, Joel Vance, Ron Way, Patsy Yarnell, and others. Folders 3 and 4 contain copies of Saults’s weekly columns in the Branson Beacon and Springfield Daily News. The wide-ranging columns covered many of the same themes as dis- cussed by Saults and Cullimore in their correspondence. Saults frequently sent Cullimore drafts or published versions of his articles, and there are many references to the columns in their correspondence. The articles reveal Saults’s wide interests, writing style, and wit. Some of the articles are autobiographical, such as those about his experiences in the 339th Infantry Regiment in Italy during World War Two, but many more concern a wide range of political, social, and historical topics including natural history, local and national politics, Taney County, development of the Branson area, the Outdoor Writers Association of America, the Irish Wilderness, conservation, leading conservationists and students of the Ozarks such as Don Cullimore, Pete Czura, George B. Herndon, Elmo Ingenthron, Dru Pippin, and Eugene Poirot, and journalists including Harry J. Fey, James Keefe, and Joel Vance. r725 16 July 1999 Donald B. Cullimore Gift (R1090) Cullimore family.

    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.

    Harry S. Truman Lake Brochure

    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.

    TAUM SAUK AREA THREATENED by HYDRO PLANT by Susan Flader

    (This article was first published in Heritage, the Newsletter of the Missouri Parks Association, August 2001) TAUM SAUK AREA THREATENED BY HYDRO PLANT by Susan Flader When state park officials selected a cover photo to illustrate their first-ever assessment of "threats to the parks" nearly a decade ago, they chose not a scene of despoliation but a symbolic representation of the best of what they were seeking to protect. It was a vista at the core of the Ozarks, looking from the state's grandest waterfall near its tallest peak across its deepest valley into the heart of Taum Sauk Mountain State Park, Missouri's then-newest public park but also its geologically oldest, wildest, most intact, and most ecologically diverse landscape. Scarcely could one imagine that the very symbol of what they were seeking to protect through their threats study, titled "Challenge of the '90s," would itself become the most seriously threatened landscape in Missouri at the dawn of the new millennium. The photo showed two forest-blanketed, time-gentled igneous knobs in the heart of the St. Francois Mountains, on the left Smoke Hill, recently acquired by the state, and on the right Church Mountain, leased to the Department of Natural Resources for park trail development by Union Electric Company of St. Louis (now AmerenUE). But on June 8, the Ameren Development Company, a subsidiary of Ameren Corporation, filed an application for a preliminary permit with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for the Church Mountain Pumped Storage Project. It would consist of a 130-acre reservoir ringed by a 12,350-foot-long, 90-foot-high dam on the top of Church Mountain, a lower reservoir of 400 acres formed by a 1,900-foot-long, 100-foot high dam flooding several miles of Taum Sauk Creek, which has been designated a State Outstanding Resource Water, and associated tunnels, powerhouse, transmission lines, roads, and related facilities.

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.
