Raytown Arts And Music Festival 2014 A Great Success!

More than 4000 people attended the Raytown Arts and Music Festival that took place at C. Lee Kenagy Park on Saturday, September 27, 2014. The festival featured about 30 artists and local bands KC Kelsey and AFU, up and coming blues guitarist, C. J. Walker, and Linda Shell and Blues Thang. Sharped Dressed Man paid tribute to ZZ Top tunes and the KC Marching Falcons made a dramatic entrance from the Raytown Road side of the park and marched to the rhythmic

beat of their drum corps around the lake. Tom Shipley of the festival’s headliner, Brewer & Shipley, remarked that it was the best opening act they’d ever had.

Michael Brewer of Brewer & Shipley talked about his days growing up in the early Seventies at 7200 Woodson Road in Raytown and distinctly remembers the day when their mailbox went missing.

Remnants Of Old Ray South Gym Repurposed Thanks to help from students at Herndon Career Center and Buildings and Grounds crew members, a section of Raytown South High’s old gym floor found a new home displayed on a wall near the school’s main entrance.

The gym floor was installed in 1962 and replaced in 1999. The oak frame surrounding the floor was created from the school’s original wooden bleachers.

Rice-Tremonti Old-Fashioned Ice Cream Social Brought Buried Treasure

The Friends of Rice Tremonti Home drew a nice crowd for their “Day in the Trail” ice cream social that featured homemade ice cream in a variety of flavors and an old-fashioned wedding reenactment on September 27, 2014. But the biggest surprise came when one of the guests came forward with a fragment of Archibald Rice’s marble headstone. This was truly a welcome treasure for the organization especially given they have no pictures of Rice, who is the namesake of this 1844 landmark on the Westward Trails.

Folks gathered around to hear the story unfold about little boys who came upon the Archibald Rice headstone back in the

Mick O’Neil, descendant of Archibald Rice, clutches the headstone fragment

Fifties. This neighborhood boys club of 10 to 12 yearold boys realized its great worth and broke the headstone into pieces so each one could have a souvenir. One of those boys was the late Don Aldrich who grew up on Rose Lane across the street from the Morgans who discovered the cemetery in their back yard some years back.

His heavy fragment was the upper right section of the headstone that shows D, the last letter of ARCHIBALD, and RIC of his last name. Aldrich kept the fragment for over five decades, much too embarrassed to come forward and admit to what he had done as a child. His widow, Renee, brought it back home that day while folks were eating ice cream.

Unfortunately, the families of those boys have moved away from that neighborhood long ago but the Friends of RiceTremonti home are hopeful that someone may know the whereabouts of the rest of the headstone fragments.

Bluejays Fall To The Jaguars

By Hanine Al-Haydar Raytown High School Raytown Bluejays fans filled the stands wearing blue with painted faces, their spirit showing for the game against Blue Springs South Jaguars.

Five minutes into the first quarter, Bluejays Joe Straws (#12) completes a pass to Montel Jones (#9) who breaks through and runs 89 yards to score the first touchdown. Aaron Spradley (#29) kicks the extra point. Two minutes later, Jaguar’s Keeyon Incle (#6) scores a touch-

down and the quarter ends 7-7.

The second quarter is uneventful until the last two minutes of the quarter when Keeyon Incle (#6) scores another touchdown for the Jaguars. But the kick goes too far to the left so its 13-7. During half time, the Jaywalkers Dance teams performed a well done kick routine and the Raytown Bluejay’s band performance was superb.

With five minutes left in the third quarter, Bluejays Josh Drake (#23) gets injured. He was able to

walk off the field with help. Ricky Nicholes (#3) scores a touchdown for the Jaguars with three minutes left and, with the extra point, its 20-7.

With only ten minutes left in the game, Adam Cofield (#12) scores another touchdown for the Jaguars. A Brice Stone (#46) kick adds the extra point.

With four and a half minutes left in the game, the score is 30-7, leaving no time for the Bluejays to come back who now stand at 2-4 on the season.

Lady Jays Glide Past Northmen

By Ally Behymer Raytown High School The seniors led the way during the previous game the Raytown High School Softball team. This time, the underclassmen returned the favor. Led by freshman Nia Thomas’

2 for 3 effort at the plate, and coupled with 2 stolen bases, the Lady Bluejays glided past the Oak Park Northmen 3-2.

Raytown got on the board first when Thomas singled to left field, stole second and third bases and flew home on a

throwing error. It stayed 1-0 until the fourth inning when Oak Park sacrifice bunted to score their first run. This lasted one-half of an inning until Senior Camryn Kuehl led off with a triple to right center. Senior Loren Lomax recorded the RBI on a sac-

rifice fly to center field.

It stayed 2-1 until the 6th inning when Oak Park’s leadoff layed down a bunt single but advanced to third on an error. She then scored on a pass ball tying the game 2-2.

Senior pitcher Kayleigh Behymer who had

7 strikeouts and 1 earned run in the game closed down the Northmen in the top half of the 7th inning. Then came the Bluejays underclassmen.

Jackie Watson singled to 5-6 gap. Nia Thomas singled to center field. Maddie Pragman singled to

left field. Anna Schilling hit into a fielders choice throwing out Watson at home plate. Up strolled Josie Hall to the plate. She calmly hits the first pitch down the third base line to drive in Thomas for the game winning RBI.

More Champagne As Royals Create Miracles For First Playoffs In 29 Years Tuesday, September 29, 2014 will go into the MLB history books

By George Michaud Salvador Perez hit a single in the bottom of the 12th inning that may have been the one single hit of his career he’ll remember for a lifetime. Fans roared to a standing ovation and the some 40,000 at Kauffman Stadium (and everyone stayed in their seats to the bitter end) shed a sigh of relief that their Royals had finally made it to the playoffs for the first time in twenty-nine years. For many who attended, they had never even seen the

Royals in a playoff game and for those over a certain age remember that wonderful World Series of 1985 when they beat the St. Louis Cardinals.

That was called The I-70 World Series on many networks.

Eric Hosmer’s triple in the left-center wall high enough to not get caught started the final rally for the Royals in the bottom of the 12th. After coming back from behind 7 to 4 when Brandon Moss of the Oakland A’s hit a three-run homer I texted

the editor of this paper and said, “It doesn’t look good”. She texted me back and said “keep the faith” and, sure enough, I gazed at the signs folks were holding up all around the stadium that said “WE BELIEVE” and it was then that I decided in my own mind that it wasn’t over and that the possibility was still there. There was still hope for a win for the Royals.

Champagne flowed like water in the lockerroom later and the entire city was talking about

the Royals and their miraculous comeback to win their spot in the ALDS which begins Friday when they face the California Angels in game one. Royal’s manager, Ned Yost said, “This is the most incredible game I’ve ever been a part of.” Without a doubt this made this a September to remember for Royal’s fans forever.

In Anaheim, the Royals are facing a team with a record of 98-64, MLB’s best this season. The Royals regular season is 8973. Not that big of a dif-

ference but the Royals are going up against the odds in a park where they love watching the ball go over the wall and that’s where the Royals are lacking at this point in time with the team who has the least number of home runs during regular season play.

The Royals bullpen of Davis, Holland and Herrera and may be able to pull off a win against The Halo’s but my prediction is that The Angels have it this year in The ALDS. Not a nice thing to say,

you’re yelling at the top of your lungs by now. However, I’m a realist and let’s face it, statistically speaking The Angels are a better team this season. The Royals are true fighters and if their luck keeps up with their tenacity to win this, then I’ll be proven wrong and I sure do hope that is the case.

Nonetheless, The Royals are in it for the win and they will give it all they have as we all know.

Go Royals!

RHS Softball Dismantles Truman

By Ally Behymer Raytown High School Behind the charge of Raytown High School’s four senior softball players, Raytown High School Softball dismantled Truman High school 9-1.

Senior hurler, Kayleigh Behymer, threw a 3 hitter and allowed 1 earned run, while going 4 for 4 at the plate, with 3 doubles, 1 single, and 2 RBI. Camryn Kuehl ended the game with 2 hit-by-pitch, a single and 2 stolen bases.

Loren Lomax had a bunt single and a stolen base and Mikayla Gustin had two singles, an RBI and 1 stolen base. Freshman Nia Thomas contributed to the runfest with an insidethe-park home run in the 3rd inning. She ended the

game 1-single, 1- homerun and 3 RBIs. Raytown did not have an inning where they sent less than 5 batters to the plate.

Raytown was in control of this game from the start. Behymer kept the Truman bats off bal-

ance all game. Raytown’s defense was solid all game. In the 5th inning, Truman’s lead off hitter reached on an error. The next batter up squared to bunt but the ball spun off the bat for what appeared to be a foul ball.

Senior catcher Camryn Kuehl dove to her right and caught the ball barehanded, six inches above the ground, came up to her knees and fired to first base for a double play.

Man Charged In Connection Teen Charged In Death Of With Raytown Fires Man Found In Street Joe Shockey, Jr., a 46 year-old Raytown man, was charged in relation to two fires near the Woodson Village shopping center, 63rd Street and Woodson, Raytown, on Thursday morning, July 3, 2014.

Letters to the editor

The last couple of weeks have been great for me and Raytown and I want a shout out and kudo’s for several events and the people who made them happen.

1. Hanine Al-Haydar a student at Raytown High School, this young journalism student is writing on Raytown high school sports for the paper and doing a great job.

2. Raytown Public Works Dept. for getting the Santa Fe Trails signs up across Raytown. We now can follow the trail from the Missouri River to 83rd Street. They really look great.

3. Dave Turner, Raytown Parks Dept. and Arts Fest committee for the great show at Kenagy Park, Sept. 27.This should be a yearly program and would pick up the loss of Round-up Days. This was music for all ages and a lot of

fun.

4 The football game between South and North on Sept. 19 was like old times with large attendance. Let’s keep up this support.

5. Raytown C-2 schools for the youth basketball program that will start in late October. It will have over 40 teams of girls and boys from K to 7th grade. This is a program to help our young have learn and play sports.

The district will also add other sports and volleyball is next. Thanks School Board and Dr. Markley.

I hope the people of Raytown will look around and find out that our town is on the move and they need to be apart of it. These are positive things and should be supported and if you see any of these people stop and tell them THANKS.

Jason Offutt The box tormented me. It sat on U.S. 71, an orange or strangely colored grapefruit printed on the side. The box was in the middle of the highway, challenging me to run over it with the minivan.

It was the type of box people moving into a new house pick up from grocery stores, and it made me slow down, memories of road boxes from my childhood poking at me like an annoying sister on a long trip. Yes, the ambiguous citrus box was that distracting.

“Don’t hit the box,” I heard my mother bark at me.

Her voice didn’t really bark at me – at least I hope it didn’t; Mom’s been dead for six years. The voice barked at my long-dead father who always drove on family trips.

“There might be a baby in it.”

I heard my mom say this many times; Baby-In-A-Box. I never quite got that. I mean, why would someone put a baby in a box? In redneck parts of the Midwest, can grocery-store boxes legally be considered car seats? Prob-

ably not without duct tape.

I was pretty close to Nebraska, a state that legally allows people to abandon children as old as 15 as long as the child is dropped at a hospital, so you’d think there are alternatives to leaving your BabyIn-A-Box on the highway.

Yes, this mental struggle was all because of my mother.

My mom was a wonderful person, who encouraged my creativity, forced me to think, and taught me to cook. However, she did leave me with my share of problems.

Such as, I can’t just leave the house. Ever. Oh, sure, I can walk outside, get in the van, and even get so far as starting it without feeling a tug. But the tug’s there, it’s always there. The tug lurks somewhere in the back of my brain, waiting for me to try and leave home, then pulls me back inside. Did I check the oven? Is the coffee pot on?

How about the back door?

You locked the back door, right Offutt?

The tug drags me into the house to find that the oven is off (it always is), the coffee pot is unplugged and the back door as secure as a brick wall.

Mom did that every time we went somewhere farther than a half-hour drive.

I wonder what level of insanity I’ll leave for my children to struggle through as they grow up? Whatever it is, I doubt it will have anything to do with babies on the highway.

As the box grew closer, I wondered if Mom was so worried about Baby-In-A-

OPINION To the Editor:

|

PEARL BAILEY

BUDDY HACKETT

DON RICKLES

LLOYD LINDROTH was named “The Liberace of The Harp” by an entertainment critic for the Winnipeg Tribune around 1973 while performing at the Winnipeg Inn, of the hotels from a very large chain at the time. The show room was called The Stage Door. Appropriate for this act, the opening act and the town since Winnipeg for a very highly cultural city with a population that really appreciate good talent and they were well known for it. Indicative of the lines standing outside on a Monday night, Lindroth was shocked since this was his first engagement anywhere in Canada two days after his appearance on their local television talk/variety show.

In a “Producer’s Corner” column a few weeks ago I spoke about how I first met STAN IRWIN in Las Vegas at a publicity party given for ANN MARGARET and DOC SEVERINSEN in The Blue Room at The Tropicana Hotel and Casino and how I had walked up and just introduced myself to Stan Irwin in the midst of a crowd of around three-hundred. At that time I was sole personal manager/agent for LLOYD LINDROTH and I had asked Mr. Irwin if he would come in to the Tropicana to see Lindroth perform. Irwin, at the time had JOHNNY CARSEN, the hottest attraction in Las Vegas performing another engagement at his Sahara

Hotel main show room.

Irwin was gracious enough to say yes and we met a few nights later at one of Lindroth’s shows. Needless to say, being young and somewhat new in the biz, I was a little nervous but it wasn’t long before I was totally relaxed because Irwin had a way about him, being the pro that he is to make me feel like I was in his living room. As the show went on, I tried as hard as possible not to talk very much but that was not to be because I just had to lean over and say to Irwin, “this guy has performed five command performances at The White House.” Irwin says to me, “fantastic, that’s quite an accomplishment.”

After another number was over, like “Malaguena” (a very difficult number to perform, especially on a concert grand harp), I leaned over once again and said, “that’s probably the most difficult instrumental to perform on a harp with all the foot pedal changes and all” and with that, Irwin, very politely asked me to sit back and relax while he enjoyed the show.”

Being young, I learned just then when to speak and when not to at a time such as this.

As I look back now to those days, I hadn’t realized that Irwin already knew everything I was telling him and that he had been auditioning talent decades before I was even born and I laugh at thinking about those times now. After the Lindroth performance had ended to three standing ovations, Irwin asked me to

Producer’s Corner continued from page 4 invite the artist over to the table so he could speak with him. Of course, I was elated and I know Lindroth was ecstatic just meeting Stan Irwin.

Lindroth was all ears and big eyes wide open as Stan Irwin went on to say, “you are the greatest harpist I’ve ever heard in my life”. What a terrific compliment coming from such an expert. Irwin continued with compliments and asked a number of interesting questions, which just told both Lindroth and I that Irwin was interested. That’s all we needed to know.

When Stan Irwin left that evening, I can remember how well he was dressed, how much of a gentleman he was and how professional he came off. I had met many in his business but none matched the class of Stan Irwin. He smiled, shook our hands and said, “We will meet at my office on Wilshire Blvd. in Beverly Hills in three weeks. Call my office and speak with Sandy my secretary and she will set a time and day”.

Talk about being excited.

Lindroth said, “Let’s go out and have a drink on this and celebrate”. He wasn’t much for drinking but this called for a celebration. So, we went to the Lido de Paris Show at The Stardust Hotel down the Strip towards the Sahara. As we enter the hotel parking area, we both noticed that LIBERACE’s car was there so we knew he must be in the show room. Sure enough,

Liberace noticed Lindroth coming and waved for him to come along and join his party. It was a night to remember. We told Liberace all about Irwin and he told us to be sure not to miss that appointment in three weeks.

Liberace was always kind and gracious by picking up everyone’s tab and being the host of the party.

One night Lindroth and I along with his sister and her daughter and three other girls went to Liberace’s Show when he was performing at the Hilton International Show Room. The place was overflowing with fans. In the middle of his show Liberace stood up from his piano and took the microphone and introduced Lindroth to the entire house as “the greatest harpist in the world”.

He said, “if I was to play the harp, I would want to play it like LLOYD LINDROTH.” That was quite an honor and then he introduced PHYLLIS DILLER who was also in the audience and CHER. But, he seemed to give more attention and time towards Lindroth than the others and that made us all feel really special.

Lloyd Lindroth was called “The Master of The Harp” by the show-biz bible, as we all called it, VARIETY MAGAZINE which was a show-biz publication that went international. The Los Angeles Times said of Lindroth, “His technique on that harp is like lightening and he makes the instrument talk to his audience.”

ciated Press, United Press International, Chicago Tribune and hundreds of papers cross the USA including USA Today.

Lindroth was by far the only harpist ever to invent the “Voice of The Harp” which gave him the ability to be heard above a full orchestra if needed. Lindroth was the first harpist ever to perform in a main show room in a Las Vegas Hotel/Casino and the first ever harpist to record a true county and western album/CD in Nashville, TN with a major producer titled “Welcome To My World”.

Lindroth performed at the Opryland Hotel to 5000 people a night, twice a night to standing ovations and after an eleven-year engagement there was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy which is condition where the heart muscle has died on the back side of his heart. After a heart-transplant he lived and did his concerts each night at Opryland right up to when he had to be hospitalized nine months later. He passed on after exhaustive hard word on the part of the transplant team at St. Thomas Hospital in Nashville. They did everything they could.

On June 09, 1994 the world lost the most talented harpist to ever live. Stan Irwin said, on the death of Lindroth, “we have lost a genius in the music world, unsurpassed on his instrument and I’ve lost a true friend whom I’ll miss dearly”. There is so much more to be said about LLOYD LINDROTH but only so much can be said in such a small space in a col-

6th Annual Tribute and

Help Superheroes Battle Alien Invaders At Burr Oak Woods October 4 They will suddenly appear at Burr Oak Woods Nature Center, and they could be everywhere if people will pitch in and help. We’re talking superheroes battling alien invaders _ plants and critters. Superheroes will explain their powers during guided hikes along the Nature Center’s Missouri Tree Trail on Saturday, October 4, 2014. Those attending this free event for all ages can learn how they can be heroes keeping non-native species from harming Missouri’s forests, grasslands and yards.

Each autumn, the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) staff and volunteers at Burr Oak Woods plan an evening mixing fun with education.

They portrayed characters from Charlotte’s Web one year. Last year, Dorothy and her friends from Oz skipped down the trail along with attendees. This year, superheroes such as Aqua Girl, Batman, Wonder Woman, Spiderman, Catwoman and Superman will greet trail goers. They will talk about ways to halt invaders harmful to native ecology such as the emer-

ald ash borer, bush honeysuckle, chytrid fungus and Asian carp.

“In the fall, we take a conservation topic and adapt it in a way that will be fun

for families,” said Rebecca Miller, Burr Oak Woods assistant manager. “We pick something that gets people outdoors in a performance atmosphere.”

Superheroes will be showing their might along a three-quarter mile trail route that takes about 45 minutes to complete. The trail is paved and accessible to all including those who use wheelchairs and baby strollers. Adults and children are invited to attend in costume as their favorite superhero.

Trail hikes are offered in two sessions. Groups will leave on the guided hike every 15 minutes from 1 to 3 p.m. The superheroes will be available to meet with visitors and sign autographs 4 to 4:30 p.m. Evening hikes will be offered from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.

“Superman will wrap up the hike and let everyone know how they can be superheroes in battling alien invaders,” Miller said. As a bonus, the first fall color is appearing along the trails at Burr Oak Woods. For more information call 816-2283766 or go to http://www. mdc.mo.gov/node/280. The Nature Center is at 1401 N.W.

High School Students Launch Food And Clothing Drive October 11 On Saturday, October 11, 2014, Raytown High School students from the National Honor Society, Youth Advisory Council of Truman Heartland Community Foundation, and Key Club are hosting a food and clothing drive in the Raytown High School circle drive at 6019 Blue Ridge Boulevard from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Nonperishable food items will go to REAP and gently used clothing will be collected for the Community Services League.

Tristen Caudle, Raytown High School member of the Youth Advisory Council of the Truman Heartland Community Foundation explains why he started this food and clothing drive.

“Being on the Youth Advisory Council has given me a unique perspective on the Eastern Jackson County community. I have always

seen people in need in my own community and seen various organizations helping those people, but I had never really seen the other organizations and other volunteers making these service organizations grow and thrive. Doing site visits to nonprofits with the Youth Advisory Council for the Community Grants Program and listening to grant reports done by other Youth Advisory Council teams has shown me some of the most pressing needs of our community. For this reason, I decided that I needed to reach further into my community and set up a food drive for the Raytown Emergency Assistance Program (REAP) and a clothing drive for the Community Services League.

“After speaking with the directors of REAP, I learned of their incredible need for

more food. They had to buy food for their food pantry because of lack of donations, a fact, which I found shocking and upsetting, and needing change. I believe that if I am the one that notices the need for change, I should “be the change I want to see in the world.”

As we transition into the colder months, I knew that the Community Services League would need more clothing supplies to help protect our fellow community members from the cold. I knew that this drive needed to be huge: to help REAP, the Community Services League, and the people in our community. In order to make as big of an impact as possible, I wanted to have as many organizations at my high school, Raytown High School, as possible to take part in this food and clothing drive.”

Raytown Farmer’s Market Closing October 4

The Raytown Farmers’ Market (RFM) will be closing for the season on Saturday, October 4, 2014. The original closing date was planned for the end of October but the growing season is wrapping up quickly and vendors are running out of produce. Local honey will

be available during the last week.

“We have had a marvelous first year, far above our expectations. We appreciate the vendors and all the customers who have made the Raytown Farmers’ Market a great success,” said Janet Emerson, RFM Board mem-

ber and Raytown Alderman.

RFM reports that all the vendors are planning to return and new vendors are already signing up for next year which promises to be bigger and better. Look for the Raytown Farmer’s Market to open May 2015.

Bosco Pies Bring Back Memories

Bosco chocolate syrups can easily turn ordinary ice cream flavors, like vanilla, into scrumptious treats you can make yourself. When inspiration strikes, layer on a delicious topping or two, such Bosco’s new Fudge Brownie or Sea Salt Caramel syrups.

The centerpiece of any dessert table is a great pie and Bosco’s Chocolate Cream Pie and Whipped Cream recipes are tried and true, dating all the way back to the 1930’s Good Housekeeping Institute. Both make for delicious desserts your family will beg you to make for years to come.

Bosco Chocolate Cream Pie Ingredients • 1 pre-made pie crust • 2 egg yolks

Bosco Chocolate Cream Pie • 2 tablespoons flour • 6 tablespoons Bosco Chocolate Syrup

• 1 tablespoon butter • 2 cups whole milk • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation 1. Line 9-inch pie plate with pastry. Bake according to directions on package.

2. Beat egg yolks slightly.

Add flour and syrup and stir thoroughly. Place in saucepan and cook on mediumlow heat. Add butter and milk gradually, stir constantly, and cook for about 10 minutes or until mixture thickens. Stir in vanilla extract and pour into baked crust. Cool in refrigerator for 2-3 hours to set.

3. Before serving, swirl flavored whipped cream around the edges or cover the pie. Decorate by drizzling Bosco Chocolate Syrup on top or sprinkling on chocolate shavings

Box, why didn’t we ever stop to look? Well, I wasn’t going to make that mistake. If there were actually a baby in that box on U.S. 71, I could pick it up and abandon it in Nebraska as easily as the next guy.

“It was actually innocently written,” Brewer recalled

about the song that had the Nixon administration labeling them as subversives.

“But”, Brewer continued, “that didn’t stop Lawrence Welk [Master of Champagne Music] from booking us for his show in 1971.” The

duo also played songs from their Tarkio and Shanghai albums. Their harmonies, vocals and lyrics were just as mesmerizing and captivating as always.

Discover Nature With Elk Driving Tours

This year’s offerings include routes on Current River and Peck Ranch conservation areas An additional route will make it easier than ever to see Missouri’s wild elk this year, according to the Missouri Department of Conservation.

The Conservation Department began encouraging Missourians to view elk along designated internal roads at Peck Ranch Conservation Area (CA) shortly after bringing the first wild elk to Missouri in 2011. The self-guided driving tour has become a popular tourist attraction, especially in October, when bull elk are bugling as part of their mating ritual.

Elk are also establishing themselves on the nearby Current River CA, which is in the 346-square-mile Elk Restoration Zone in and around Peck Ranch CA. Habitat improvements have created excellent elk viewing opportunities along in-

ternal roads at Current River CA. To help visitors find elk, the Conservation Department has designated a driving tour route that follows portions of Roads No. 1, 9,

and 10. Designated roads on Current River and Peck Ranch CAs are shown on maps available through the Conservation Atlas at mdc.

mo.gov/atlas. Simply enter the area name and follow the links to the area map.

“Signs mark the driving routes at both Current River and Peck Ranch,” says Elk

Program Manager David Hasenbeck. “Seeing elk in the wild is an awe-inspiring experience, and we are very excited about offering this

additional place where people can enjoy elk in October, when bulls are bugling and trees are blazing with fall color.”

Hasenbeck says the Conservation Department worked with local communities, landowners, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, and other conservationists to relocate more than 100 wild elk from Kentucky to the restoration zone in Reynolds, Carter, and Shannon counties. The best times to see elk and other wildlife are right after sunrise and right before sunset.

The tour route at Peck Ranch begins at the CA office and is marked with signs along the way. The tour route is open from sunrise to sunset daily, unless closed because of inclement weather or a managed deer hunt.

“We encourage people to take photographs from their

vehicles,” says Hasenbeck, “but please do not disturb elk or other wildlife in any way. It’s also important for visitors to know that gravel roads on Peck Ranch may not be accessible to vehicles without adequate ground

clearance, and some roads may be impassible at times due to high water at stream crossings.”

The elk driving tour routs at Peck Ranch CA will be closed for managed hunts Oct. 11 and 12, Oct. 31 through Nov. 2, Nov. 15 through 25, and Dec. 6 and 7. For more informa-

tion about elk driving tours at Peck Ranch CA, call the 855-MDC-ELK (855-2632355).

For information about the tour at Current River CA, call 573-663-7130.

Hasenbeck also suggests that visitors stop at the Twin Pines Conservation Education Center, which is 1 mile east of Winona on Route 60.

Twin Pines is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday. For more information on Twin Pines, call 573-325-1381, or go online to mdc.mo.gov/ node/293.

“The nearby communities of Eminence, Ellington, Winona, and Van Buren also offer fall events and other outdoor activities,” says Hasenbeck.

“They are great places to stop for a bite to eat, a bit of shopping, an overnight stay, and other nature-related outdoor adventures.”
