bransonglobe.com STATE Courtesy Mo.Gov The State of Missouri has allocated $4 million from its Coronavirus Relief Fund to support Sheltered Workshops across the state. The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) will create grant programs to distribute these funds to workshops to lessen the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on workshop operations. These funds will be used to address specific pandemic-related matters. Sheltered workshops that closed or had decreased revenue as a result of COVID-19 will have access to business interruption financial assistance grants. For sheltered workshops that remained open for business, funding will be provided for the purchase of personal Spend your hot Missouri summer ‘On the Water’ By Peg Craft, Missouri Dept. of Conservation The best place to be in the summer is on the water. Missouri has 110,000 miles of streams where you can fish, float, and explore. The two biggest rivers in the country, the Missouri and Mississippi, flow through the Show Me state and come together just above St. Louis. Streams flow through prairies in the north and Ozark bluffs in the south. You can float by forests, caves and springs and see anything from crayfish to hawks and herons along the way. There’s no better way to beat the heat of summer then by getting out on the water with family and friends. Always practice safety when enjoying Missouri’s many waters this summer. St. Louis native, Scott Nienhaus grew up on the water. When he moved to Nashville for his music career, he ended up living by the water without a boat. He wrote the song, On the Water, in response to what he missed about being out there. He and Terry Jones Rogers, play this song often in St. Louis with their popular duo, Rogers and Nienhaus. They shared it with MDC a few years ago, for a music video highlighting our many waterways in Missouri. They brought along several of their Missouri-rooted musician friends to play the song live in eight outdoor locations. They were joined by Supe Granda from the Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Rusty Young of Poco, R. Scott Bryan, Javier Mendoza, Tim Politte, Sandy Weltman, Missouri Mile, Madison Thorn, and Ingrid Berry, daughter of music legend, Chuck Berry. Famous audio engineer Bob Heil, who pioneered concert sound equipment and the talk box made famous by Peter Frampton, donated his Heil microphones to enhance the quality of sound while playing music in nature.
