Win Prizes While Protecting the Mississippi River

Attention Mississippi River enthusiasts and photographers alike! The 2010 1 Mississippi photo contest presented by 1 Mississippi and Brookfield Renewable Power has arrived. This contest celebrates the beauty of the Mississippi River through the incredible talent of local photographers. We’re looking for photos that tell the remarkable story of the Mississippi River through picture perfect moments— long walks along River trails, community festivals, city reflections in still waters and birds soaring into sunsets. We want to see what the River means to you.
Submit up to three photos by August 8, 2010 for your opportunity to win. Winners in both the amateur and professional categories will be chosen based on originality, technical excellence, composition, overall impact and artistic merit. In addition to great prizes, winners will be printed on 1 Mississippi banners displayed throughout the River region!
For more information on submission rules, prizes and deadlines, please visit http://www.1mississippi.net/1-mississippi-photo-contest.

Save the Confluence – Oppose a New Casino Next to Columbia Bottom

The Confluence is part of the coalition opposing a plan to convert 400 acres of Mississippi River floodplain, wetlands, and farmland next to the Columbia Bottom Conservation Area in Spanish Lake into a massive casino complex. The casino project proposed by North County Development LLC is simply the wrong development in the wrong place.

Instead of 8,000 parking places and a casino complex, we should develop this land to build on the natural beauty of the area and to support the growing number of visitors to this unique natural area at the confluence of our great rivers, but with fewer negative impacts. We support economic development in North St. Louis County that makes sense … both for today and tomorrow.   

As the Missouri Gaming Commission considers proposals for a new casino in the State, we need to continue to voice our opposition to the North County casino. For sample letters, postcards, and other ways you can help, visit http://www.savetheconfluence.org
