Hi, folks! I'm teaching a couple of great free nature classes later this week while I'm in Missouri!

This Thursday I'll be at the Rolla Public Library for a beginner friendly introduction to mushroom foraging and identification. While I will have a few slides with some great species for newcomers to look for, a lot of the class will be based in skills and tools to help you identify any mushroom you come across.

And then Saturday you can join me at the Audubon Trails Nature Center for a lichen walk! We'll look for these awesome little composite beings, learn more about what they are, and check out some of the other natural wonders along the way, too. The weather looks like it'll be sunny and warmer than today, but wear good closed-toed footwear to stay safe on the trail.

Here's a fascinating short piece on a forgotten person from my hometown.

"Parker’s first professionally published poem was “Hope” which appeared in a Chicago literary journal circa 1898.  The publication of the poem was the result of a contest held by the journal.  Over forty individuals, all of whom were white, submitted entries.  After the publication of “Hope”, Parker was contacted by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and asked write verses for publication.  In 1899, five of Parker’s poems were published in the newspaper. "

....

"After 1910, mentions of Parker and her writings in national publication virtually vanish.  In 1910, she is listed in the federal census as living with her mother and earning money through elocution recitals. By 1920, she is still living with her mother at Fourth and Cedar Streets.  At the time, Harold Griggs was boarding with the Parkers.  Within a few years, Griggs and Parker were married.  Harold worked as a janitor and Inez is continually listed as doing “house work” after their marriage.  After the death of her mother in 1929, the Griggs continued to live at Forth and Cedar Street until the death of Inez on December 20, 1950."

I jog past that spot from time to time. There's no plaque. I never knew.

Tuesday, September 3, 2024 - Tim Walz

Governor Walz and Governor Kelly continued their swing through the midwest today and focused on the state of Missouri, a state we know is a long shot in terms of electoral map, but that we view as important in the America of tomorrow under a Harris-Walz Administration. The 'official' schedule of today's events is below.

Joplin, MO Event Location: Missouri Southern State University Spiva Library Event Type: Listening Tour Event Time: 8:00 - 11:00 CT *This listening tour was focused on primary and secondary teachers, principals, and librarians from across the state. The state of Missouri has attacked our rights to books, by trying to restrict funding to libraries and instating book bans. This affects education and Governor Walz views this group as an important constituency. The event garnered over 200 attendees and many stories were shared.

Springfield, MO Event Location: Missouri State University Event Type: Get Out the Vote Event Time: 13:00 - 16:00 CT *Governor Walz focused on-campus with student volunteers and Governor Kelly focused off-campus with democrat campaign volunteers for the region. Mail-in ballots and voter registration were major topics with students. Additionally, we had a small lunch with some students and connected them with student social media ambassadors for our campaign via Zoom.

Rolla, MO Event Location: Missouri S&T Gibson Arena Event Type: Campaign Rally Event Time: 19:00 - 21:00 CT *Full-text of the speech from this rally will be released shortly.
