Just wanted to pass along some information regarding a benefit meal and auction on May 31 in Hamel Illinois for Michael Lovsey who was killed in a motorcycle accident.  There will be a mostaccioli dinner and silent auction with a 50/50 drawing and door prizes.  Proceeds will go toward helping the family with expenses of Michael's headstone and a trust fund for his 3 year old daughter Kamron.   You can click here more information.

  Well the EPA is now working with DNR and St. Joe Park management on the tailings area. State officials Bonds, Emerson, and Mc Caskills office were bombarded with support letters for asking to keep St. Joe Park open. And that has really got the EPA thinking about closing the tailings and swim areas.

  You can get more information about the recent battle at www.SAVESTJOESTATEPARK.COM, and the support letters can be found there also  Please print, sign, and send to all 3 officials above, get all of your friends to do the same. I suggest you put your name and address on them also. They have more impact now, but at the time, the bulk is what we were wanting. Special thanks goes to Tom Schulte from Bonds office in Cape, and to State Rep Brad Robinson, who has really backed us, and was very outspoken about EPA.  Also when you ride at the park, tell the park superindents Bill Bonnell and Sandy Mc Cain thanks for taking a very hard stand for what is right.  Thanks!  Ryan at www.stjoepark.com.
