Area NEWS
Mark Twain Lake has shooting target with safety message The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Mark Twain Lake recently received a grant from the Quincy Area Safety Council to produce a target for those looking to hone their shooting skills. What makes the target unique is that it incorporates shooting safety with the ever important water safety message encouraging people to wear their life jacket when on or around water, a message the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers works endlessly to promote. While this may seem like a message intended exclusively for fisherman, skiers and typical water recreation users, hunters are often utilizing areas around water for their sport as well. Many of the deer hunters that come to Mark Twain Lake each fall travel by boat to get to their favorite hunting spot. Reminding them to wear their life jacket during their time on the water is just as critical. Now, when hunters are sighting in their rifle weeks ahead of opening day at ranges such as the David C. Berti Shooting Range located in the Warren G. See Spillway on Mark Twain Lake, they can utilize a colorful target that will remind them of the water safety message as well. Thanks to the Quincy Areas
Safety Council, the “You Always Hit the Mark When You Wear Your Life Jacket” campaign will kick off immediately, just in time to make sure everyone is ready for deer season. The Corps of Engineers is offering these targets to visitors at no charge. They can be picked up at the M.W. Boudreaux Memorial Visitor Center on Mark Twain Lake from now until Sunday, Nov. 4. The Quincy Areas Safety Council of Quincy, Ill., is dedicated to safety and promoting safety in all aspects of life including home, work, and community. The Council participates with many outside safety-related organizations with donations of The David C. Berti Shooting Range at Mark Twain Lake is open on a year round basis. There is a small day use fee required for daily usage. This can be deposited in the self pay station, which is located at the front of the range. The M.W. Boudreaux Memorial Visitor Center is located just south of the Clarence Cannon Dam on Rt. J. The Visitor Center is open daily from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. If you need additional information, please contact the Mark Twain Lake Project Office at 573-735-4097 or email us at marktwaininfo@usace.army.mil.

The United Way of the Mark Twain Area launched the 17th Annual Day of Caring with free breakfast and T-shirts at Hannibal LaGrange University this Thursday. Nearly one hundred volunteers participated in the event designed to give campaign supporters the opportunity to do volunteer projects in United Way supported programs and actually see how their donations are put to work. Not only do they (the volunteers) get time off from work to do this but they also get to see how hard the programs work to stretch the dollars and serve more people. “Today exemplifies our campaign theme and logo, People Helping People… the United Way”, noted Campaign Chairman Ryan Rapp (US Bank) “Hopefully these volunteers will take what they saw and share it with co-workers giving others the incentive to support the campaign and increase the volunteer effort. It’s a win-win and we certainly appreciate the cooperation of employers as well as those who volunteer.” Projects included building shelves, packing buddy packs for school children, painting community rooms, yard work, landscaping, organizing
emergency preparedness supplies, and much more. Additionally, volunteers worked with the Foster Grandparent Program implementing the healthy living program “100 Hungry Ants” to Head Start children and area 2nd grade classes this week and next. On Friday, Sept. 28 the YMCA will host a Family Carnival Night with the help of General Mills second shift volunteers. Those businesses participating in this years events include General Mills, Northeast Missouri Power Cooperative, HNB Banks, US Bank employees, Park United Methodist Mission Committee, Marion County Health Dept. Ralls County Health Department, many more. The Day of Caring heightens awareness of the United Way of the Mark Twain Area and the annual drive that this year will raise $565,000 for human service programs in Marion, Ralls, Monroe, Shelby and Lewis County. The slogan “People Helping People…the United Way” was chosen through an area wide contest. For information on making a donation and upcoming volunteer opportunities you are urged to contact the United Way at 573-221-2761 or visit our webpage at www.unitedwayNEMO.org
