(Because of my experience, I am also a firm believer in the importance of fine art programs in our schools.) When I went away to college, I decided to study scientific illustration in order to combine both my passion for painting and my love of nature and science. (Confession, I’m a total science nerd.

A SPECIAL MESSAGE From Mike Evans the founder of the Jerusalem Prayer Team Dear Ronnie, Tonight the Jewish Feast of Shavuot (Pentecost) begins. This is a special day for Believers as we celebrate the day when the Holy Spirit came in power on the disciples as they prayed together in Jerusalem. You and I today are part of a wonderful worldwide prayer movement--not a small group meeting in a secret room, but a band of praying Believers around the globe. God has called you and me to a great mission--to show true Christian love to the Jewish people and to the world. And He has opened wonderful doors of opportunity for us to do that...but we can't do it without your help. I am asking you to send a special Pentecost Offering today to make sure that this great global prayer campaign can continue to do everything possible to bless and defend God's Chosen People.We have been given additional time on the deadline for the current payment on the Friends of Zion Heritage Center. Many friends have given generously and I give thanks to God for each one who has shown their love in action in this important way, but we must raise $250,000 by the extended deadline. So far 1,505 friends have given $168,280. That means we still need $81,720.The nation of Israel urgently needs to see this expression of Christian love right now with looming threats on every side. Your help today will make this miracle outreach a reality this year. We are so close...and we must not fail to reach this goal and begin this wonderful witness from Jerusalem to the entire world.DONATE NOW: https://secure.etransfer.com/JPT/CertificatePlaquePrem.cfm?dn=1032&commID=592357952&ID=981062 For your gift of $100 or more we will send you a Certificate of Appreciation with a presentation folder for you.

Sarah recently received Two Grammy Nominations! Best American Roots Song, “Build Me Up From Bones” and Best Folk Album of 2013 VIDEO OFFICIAL ARTIST WEBSITE March 2014 Artists THE AUTUMN DEFENSEThe Autumn Defense arrived with the 21st century, capturing colors of a bygone era - the result of a collaboration between John Stirratt, longtime member of Wilco and formerly Uncle Tupelo and musical compatriot [/Wilco multi-instrumentalist] Pat Sansone…Between noontime highs and slipping sunsets, the Autumn Defense create a sound which both embraces and resists the moods of autumn, and so defines their name. VIDEOOFFICIAL ARTIST WEBSITE HONEY HONEY Burlap and opals. Moonshine and macrobiotics. Shaken and soothed. How Suzanne Santo (vocals/banjo/violin) and Ben Jaffe (vocals/guitar) managed to reconcile not just polemics, but seemingly opposed realities for their sexually tinged, bruised knee honeysuckle take on roots music has to be heard to be understood. “…the common pop thread between alt. country, spaghetti western soundtracks and swampy blues.” – Paste“…honey honey deftly mixes elements of folk, soul, country, pop, and rock…” – GlideVIDEOOFFICIAL ARTIST WEBSITE DELLA MAE Grammy-Nominated Della Mae proves again and again the endless possibilities found in the tried-and-true marriage of fiddle, fretboard, and voice.

Della Mae= what happens when five women decide to tour the world.VIDEOOFFICIAL ARTIST WEBSITE THE WILLOWWACKS A married couple who met at university in the midwest and now live in St. Augustine, Florida. Our first self-titled EP is out now and combines the simplicity of folk music, with the dense, imaginative, sonic landscapes of modern day indie/chamber pop. It expresses where we were when we finally decided to partner up and do life together. We put a lot of effort into the details and started out with an approach a la “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” and chose songs that represented parts of our lives that were less than public. Our second record has been in the works since mid-summer and is currently satiating our dual appetite for minimalist rock n’ roll and getting our songs recorded really, really fast. VIDEOOFFICIAL ARTIST WEBSITE stopstopstopstopRION PAIGE Thirteen year old country artist Rion Paige is a Jacksonville native, X-Factor finalist, that is making waves in the entertainment industry. She has a huge heart, contagious energy, and a positive attitude about life while dealing with a rare condition from childhood, arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, that limits mobility in her hands.

Blog: Bassing Bob on Fishing in March at Lake of the Ozarks
Fishing at Lake of the Ozarks
in Missouri during March can be one of the most productive times to enjoy and
catch fish. During March the days are getting longer, the water temperatures
will be warming up and the fish will be starting to move from their winter time
holding areas and their metabolism will start get faster, therefore they will be
on the hunt for food.
This winter however, has been
one of the coldest in many years, the lake has been frozen for most of February
and early March water temperatures are in the mid to upper 30’s, therefore the
fishing in early March has been quite difficult to get the bass and crappie to
bite. For the most part the bass are mostly on the bottom from 20’-30’ of water,
holding inside of deep brush piles or suspended over very deep water, without
much indication that they want to eat or move to chase a meal. The crappie have also been more lethargic than
usual for this time of the year, however they seem to be more catchable than the
bass in deep brush piles and around dock brush piles.
In
fact, many of the bass being caught are being caught on crappie jigs by
fisherman fishing for crappie in brush piles. This is certainly an indication
that brush piles are holding bass and the bass want their meal to be small and
brought to them worked very slowly.
Bass tournaments the early
part of March have seen weights being way down. While it is not unusual to see 5 fish limit
weights from 18-22 pounds this time of the year, winning weights have been in
the 10-12 pound range, with many tournament anglers being shut out from catching
a single fish, including me.
The
cold water temperature bite that has been successful has been slow rolling a
multi rig bait (ala the Alabama Rig), a rig that has multiple swim baits (3-5
baits) that imitate a small school of shad or bait fish. The successful
fisherman have been working this style of rig slowly along the bottom in 15 to
30 feet of water or over the top of brush piles. It should be noted that the
State of Missouri regulation for multi-rig baits is a total of 3 hooks,
therefore for rigs that have capacity for more than three swim baits, you will
need to either attach a spinner to the other wires of the rig or use what is
referred to as dummy baits, swim baits with no hooks. These can be attached to
the rig with a hitch hiker, a hitch hiker is a small screw like wire that the
bait without a hook can be added to the rig.
As
the water begins to warm, which it will in March, the bass fishing should really
turn on. As the water temperature
starts to reach into the low, to mid and high 40’s which is likely through
March, the fish will start to move and want to feed. They will start to feel
that spring fever, just as we do. However, they also are going to start feeling
the urge to spawn and/or get into the spawning areas to pre-stage for the
spawn. While the spawn on Lake of the
Ozarks does not really start to happen until about mid-late April and into May,
the end of March as the water temperatures rise, the fish will start to migrate
into the areas in preparation for the spawn.
Lake of the Ozarks Bass
Fishing pro’s and experts recently met with BassingBob to discuss March bass
fishing on the Lake of the Ozarks, this monthly meeting of experts is video
taped each month and can be watched in it’s entirety on http://www.bassingbob.com/. A monthly publication
for March can also be found on the same web site.
In
summary of the experts meeting, there is a lot of similarity amongst the experts
regarding what baits to fish, locations and structure. The experts agree that during March the fish
will begin to become more active as the water warms into the 40’s. They suggest fishing in and around secondary
points that lead to spawning areas. As
the fish are still a bit lethargic, it is key to fish slowly. Brush piles and docks around these areas will
also hold catchable fish. The experts
pretty much agree on three primary baits to catch bass, a jerkbait, an Alabama
Rig and a bottom bait, like a jig or creature bait. As the water begins to warm, fish should
become catchable at the more common strike zone depths of 8’ – 15’ of
water.
The
bass will also be found close to bait fish and they will likely be close to deep
water but up on the flats and secondary points to feed. It is often overlook at Lake of the Ozarks,
that many fish also spawn on bluff ledges. These are often some of your biggest
fish. These are often referred to as
river fish, as these fish live full time along the river channels of Lake of the
Ozarks. These fish will also start to
feed and move more as the water temperatures warm. They will come up along the ledges of bluffs
and on main lake points to feed. The
baits to catch these fish are the same, a suspending jerk bait, Alabama Rig and
bottom bait like a jig or creature bait. The jig/creature baits are very successful on
bluff ledges by pulling the bait from ledge to ledge, often the fish will be
relating to a drop off of a ledge and the bait will be eaten either as it is
falling in front of them or being dragged in the bottom of a ledge. The very
best jig and/or creature bait on Lake of the Ozarks is made my Crock-o-Gator
Bait Company.
I
would also encourage fisherman coming to the lake in March, whether you are an
occasional angler or tournament angler, to hire a guide for a half a day or full
day. March is a very tricky time of year, especially this year as we have had
such severe cold water temperatures. My
suggestion is to contact Jack Uxa of Jack’s Guide Service. Jack is a full time
guide on the lake, he is the only multi species guide (crappie, bass, catfish,
etc.). The Lake of the Ozarks bait and tackle stores are also another great
place to find out what the fish are biting on, where to fish for the active
fish, ect. My suggestions for bait stores on Lake of the Ozarks are Fitz
Fishing, Tackle and Supplies, and Osage Bait and Tackle. Wayne, the owner of
Fitz Fishing, is a veteran active tournament fisherman on Lake of the Ozarks and
Bill at Osage Bait and Tackle has a great selection of fishing goods and always
has an entourage of fishing guides and expert fisherman working at his
store.

Liverpool
Legends Make Their 6th Annual Stop at The Lake

Once again in 2014, the Grammy Nominated and
award-winning Beatles tribute
band, Liverpool Legends,
will come to the stage at Main Street Music Hall in Osage Beach for two
performances, on Friday and Saturday, March 7 & 8, at 8 pm. Branson's
Liverpool Legends tribute show, created by Louise Harrison, sister of the late
George Harrison, gives audiences the full Beatles experience.

Louise
Harrison has been a part of what she describes as "The Global Family of Beatle
People," since her youngest brother came to America with the "Fab Four" in the
1960s. She hand-picked the performers for the Liverpool Legends show both for
their striking physical resemblance to the original Beatles and also for their
musical expertise. These
talented artists faithfully recreate performances throughout the Beatles'
career, complete with wardrobe changes to represent the different eras of the
band's history, and then continue on through the years of band members' solo
performances. Vintage video footage of the Beatles serves as a backdrop for the
performance and audience members are invited to relive the experience of a live
concert by standing near the stage. The result is a widely acclaimed and
crowd-pleasing tribute that engages audience members and takes them back in time
to the years when the world was watching the Beatles.
Tickets
are available from the Tri-County Lodging Association and The Lake of the Ozarks
Convention & Visitor Bureau. Premium seats are $30 for adults and children;
regular reserved seating is $25 for adults and $20 for children. The venue will
sell out quickly, so it's recommended that tickets be purchased early. For more
information, call 800-FUN-LAKE (386-5253) or visit the Lake of
the Ozarks Convention & Visitor Bureau's special event website, www.funlake.com/liverpoollegends.

Polar
Plunge at the Lake Set for Feb. 22, 2014

Only brave souls with
warm hearts would be inclined to take a dip in Lake of the Ozarks in February.
On February 22, costumed participants will "take the plunge" into the frigid
waters of the Lake as part of their commitment to Special Olympics Missouri's
year-round program of sports training and competition for children and adults
with intellectual disabilities.
Festivities at the event include a costume
parade before the 2:30 pm plunge, when participants walk, run or crawl into the
cold winter waters of the Lake from Public Beach #2 in Lake of the Ozarks State
Park. All participants fundraise for the Special Olympics prior to the plunge
and prizes are awarded for top fundraisers. These donations help the
participating individuals and teams show their pride and dedication to the cause
and give them, as one team puts it, "a reason for freezin'." Spectators crowd
the shoreline at the event, cheering on their favorite participants and showing
their support for the cause. The Polar Plunge is a project of the Law
Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Missouri and is proudly hosted by the
Osage Beach Police Department. To register yourself or a team to take the
plunge, or to donate to your favorite participant, visit the Special Olympics of
Missouri's Lake of the Ozarks Polar Plunge page at http://bit.ly/1kA5rm0.To view a complete series of
photos from the 2013 Polar Plunge, check our our Flickr photo set at http://bit.ly/YAGOZ6.

Holiday
Lights at Lake of the Ozarks
Lake of the Ozarks shows off its natural beauty for
photographers all year, but when it gets dressed up for the holidays, it offers
glitz and sparkle that demand a close-up from visiting camera bugs. Thousands
of lights reflect the joy of the season off the Lake's quiet waters, adding an
aquatic theme to the holidays.
Twinkling
lights are the stars of the show at drive-through holiday light parks around the
Lake area.

In Laurie, the 20th Annual Enchanted Village of Lights turns
the 27-acre Laurie Fairgrounds into a winter wonderland from November 16th to
January 1st. Some of the displays are massive - up to 30 feet tall and 30 feet
wide - while others come to life through animation. Many are being equipped
with LED lights to shine brightly throughout the park. None of them, however,
shine as brightly as the eyes of the children who visit, according to Susann
Huff, Laurie's events and parks coordinator. "I just love to see the kids' eyes
when they arrive," she said. "They can't believe it. It's hard to take it all
in."

Work
has already begun on preparing the spectacle for visitors, expected to top
16,000 people again this year. The Enchanted Village of Lights opens each day at
5 pm, staying open later on the weekends. There is no charge to drive through
the village, but any donations will be put to use in refurbishing and preserving
the displays for the future. More information about the event can be found at CityofLaurie.com/EnchantedLights.htm.

Also, just a mile down the road in Laurie is the Lake area's most
enduring drive-through Christmas lights event - Saint Patrick's Festival
of Lights, celebrating 30 years when the lights go on this Thanksgiving
evening. The Shrine of St. Patrick on Hwy. 5 on the north side of Laurie also is
the site of the National Shrine of Mary, Mother of the Church, so
this festival of lights focuses on Jesus and his mother, Mary. The drive-through
festival will be open daily from 6 pm to 9 pm on weekdays and 6 pm to 10 pm on
weekends until January 1st. New for this year, the gift shop will be open during
festival hours and volunteers will be serving hot chocolate and apple cider. The
Festival of Lights is a free event, though donations are accepted.

Versailles
joins the lighting celebration from November 26th through January 1st with its
own Unity Circle of Lights, featuring 40 lighted holiday
exhibits in the Versailles City Park, at the junction of Highways 5 and 52 in
Morgan County. The Unity Circle of Lights, too, is offered free of charge to
visitors.
Last
but not least, Deck the Docks is back for 2013 to light up the Lake of
the Ozarks waterfront. Climb aboard the Celebration Cruise Boat for a view of
beautiful lakefront homes and docks decorated for the season. This is truly a
memorable holiday experience that you can only find at Lake of the Ozarks.
Cruises run every Friday and Saturday evening between November 29th through
December 28th. Tickets must be purchased in advance for this one-of-a-kind
attraction. As an added holiday bonus, a part of the proceeds go to support the
Dogwood Animal Shelter. Visit http://www.cruiselake.com/ for more information or
call (573) 480-3212 to reserve your tickets.

Learn
more about all of these drive-through lights parks at: LakeHolidayLights.com/parks. Additional holiday
event information can be found on the Lake's most complete event calendar at http://www.funlakeevents.com/.
If
you plan to visit the Lake for an extended shopping trip or if you want a
beautiful location to host your family's holiday gathering, http://www.funlake.com/ has a complete list of Lake
homes and condos to bring everyone together under one roof. Make this year's
holiday season one to remember.

Autumn
Color at Lake of the Ozarks
It is mid-October and Autumn
is beginning to show some color all across the Lake of the Ozarks area. Fall is
the perfect season to enjoy our two Missouri State Parks, scenic boat rides and
seasonal festivals. If you happen to live in the Lake Area or if you are
thinking of making one last visit before the weather takes a turn, now is the
time to get outdoors and enjoy the Lake.Of course, the most common
question that we get this time of year is, "When will the fall colors peak at
the Lake?". The truth is, we aren't aware of a way to accurately predict the
exact peak of foliage color. What we can tell you is that, traditionally, our
trees look their best in the week leading up to Halloween. This time varies year
to year and it looks to be slightly delayed for 2013; meaning that you may still
see some colorful scenery into the first week of November. Be aware that once
the peak hits, colors drop very quickly and we could begin to see bare branches
within just a few days afterwards. All that said, you certainly will not be
disappointed if you head to the Lake right now. Hiking trails and scenic
overlooks are bustling with activity as our weather has been great for enjoying
a long walk in the woods. Don't forget your camera! We
love to see and share our visitors' Lake experiences, and Fall makes for some
awesome photo opportunities. If you happen to be an Instagram and/or Twitter
user, follow @FunLakeMO and tag your snapshots with the hashtags
#LakeoftheOzarks and #funlake. If Facebook is your thing, share a photo or two
to the Lake of the Ozarks Page at www.facebook.com/funlake. We look
forward to sharing and re-tweeting Lake of the Ozarks from your point of
view.If you're looking for a place
to stay or if you are wondering if your favorite waterfront restaurant or dining
establishment is still open for business, http://www.funlake.com/ has all of the contact
information you need to plan an Autumn visit to Lake of the Ozarks. We even have
downloadable State Park trail maps in the Outdoors section to help you pick the
perfect hiking spot for you and your family.

As of the 2010 census, the population was 10,866.[2] Its county seat is Two Harbors.[3]Contents [hide] 1 History 2 Topography and vegetation 3 Presidential election results 4 Geography 4.1 Major highways 4.2 Adjacent counties 4.3 National protected area 5 Demographics 6 Localities 7 See also 8 References 9 External linksHistory[edit]Lake County was founded on February 20, 1855, as Superior County, though its name was changed on March 3, of that year to Saint Louis County. On March 1, 1856, Saint Louis County became Lake County, while Newton County to the west was renamed Saint Louis County.Prior to the arrival of Europeans, the area had long been inhabited by Native American groups. At the time of European contact, the principal Native American groups in the region were the Dakota (Sioux) and Ojibwe (also called Anishinabe or Chippewa). The economy of these groups was based on hunting, fishing and gathering, with wild rice being of particular importance. The first Europeans to explore the area were the French in the late 17th century[4] who were followed by trappers, fur traders, missionaries, and explorers. Beaver Bay was the first city in Lake County in 1855.In 1868, iron ore was discovered on the Vermilion Range by George Stuntz. In 1884, the first shipment of ore left Agate Bay, marking Minnesota's entry into the iron ore industry. During the late 1880s, commercial fishing began on Lake Superior with the coming of Swedish and Norwegian immigrants to the North Shore. In 1890, the Merritt brothers discovered the Mesabi Range. The Two Harbors Lighthouse was built on Agate Bay in 1892. Ten years later, five Two Harbors businessmen signed the articles of incorporation for a new mining company named 3M.The 3M Corp, which today has over 70,000 employees worldwide and produces more than 50,000 adhesive household products, now has its headquarters in Saint Paul. In 1906, the Court House, which stands to this day, was built. In 1907, one of the nation's first steel ore docks was built in Two Harbors. In 1944, one of the first HMOs in the United States was created in Lake County to serve railroad employees.Topography and vegetation[edit]Lake County is located in the Arrowhead Region of Northeastern Minnesota covering 2,062 miles. Lake County is known for its spectacular natural beauty and within its boundaries are four state parks and a National Forest. Lake County offers superior hiking, camping, fishing and winter recreational opportunities. Lake County has Lake Superior, the largest freshwater lake in the world right at its side. With its rugged beauty and pristine shoreline, Lake County offers many recreational opportunities as well as historical shipwrecks, two operating lighthouses and two public marinas. Lake County is home to mining, logging, wood products, lumbering, shipping and transportation, manufacturers, great health care and tourism for all ages.Presidential election results[edit]The county has a historic Democratic/Labor lean. It was the top county for Socialist Party of America candidate Eugene V. Debs in 1908,[5] 1912,[6] and 1920.[7] The last Republican to carry the county was Herbert Hoover's failed run for re-election in 1932,[8] although in the 1932 election Socialist Norman Thomas received 19.32% of the county's vote, one of the highest percentagess in the country.[9]Presidential Election Results 1992-2012YearDemocratic Republican 201259.5% 404338.4% 2610200859.89% 417437.82% 2636200459.57% 421239.16% 2769200054.53% 357937.56% 2465199656.2% 338827.9% 1684199253.7% 341523.0% 1465Geography[edit]According to the 2000 census, the county has a total area of 2,990.82 square miles (7,746.2 km2), of which 2,099.16 square miles (5,436.8 km2) (or 70.19%) is land and 891.66 square miles (2,309.4 km2) (or 29.81%) is water.[10]Major highways[edit] Minnesota State Highway 1 Minnesota State Highway 61 Minnesota State Highway 169See County roads in Lake County, Minnesota for the county's secondary roadways.Adjacent counties[edit]Rainy River District, Ontario (north)Cook County (east)Ashland County, Wisconsin (southeast – water boundary)Bayfield County, Wisconsin (south – water boundary)Douglas County, Wisconsin (south – water boundary)Saint Louis County (west)Rainy River District, Ontario, Canada Saint Louis County Cook County Lake County, Minnesota Douglas County, Wisconsin Bayfield County, WisconsinNational protected area[edit]Superior National Forest (part)Demographics[edit]Historical populationCensusPop.%±1860248—1870135−45.6%1880106−21.5%18901,2991,125.5%19004,654258.3%19108,01172.1%19208,2513.0%19307,068−14.3%19406,956−1.6%19507,78111.9%196013,70276.1%197013,351−2.6%198013,043−2.3%199010,415−20.1%200011,0586.2%201010,866−1.7%Est. 201210,818−0.4%U.S. Decennial Census[11]2012 Estimate[2]As of the census [12] of 2000, there were 11,058 people, 4,646 households, and 3,140 families residing in the county.
