The day the Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery stopped for breakfast at the mouth of Moniteau Creek near present-day Rocheport, they saw Native American cliff paintings, rattlesnakes and signs of buffalo. Today the buffalo and those particular paintings are gone, but the Missouri River s rich heritage and vast resource potential remain. That is the point MRCN plans to make when we join the City of Rocheport on Saturday, June 9, to present the Missouri River Celebration and Lewis and Clark Rendezvous 2001 in commemoration of the Discovery s historic trek through the Manitou Bluffs area. The Celebration also is intended to build enthusiasm for the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial that kicks off in 2003 and the economic opportunities it holds for our river communities. CERC will participate in two areas, one workshop and a CERC exhibit.
Students learn to perform acute toxicity tests, make measurements, and work with test organisms.
In addition, a CERC exhibit will be displayed by Joanna Reuter. Burrowing Owls . CERC scientists will participate at a booth in this big event to meet the south Texas public and discuss the conservation plight of the burrowing owl. Thousands of farmers and ranchers are expected at the show, a section of the south Texas population closely tied to the burrowing owl's winter habitat and ecology. Larry Kallemeyn , Station Leader January 26 USGS Denver Personnel Office will conduct the two briefing sessions on the new OARS at CERC for USGS personnel.
