Podcasts about Potosi

When you hear the name “Austin” - Texas might come to mind but its roots run deep in the rocky soil of Missouri's lead belt. In this third episode of The Old Ozarks, historian Dr. Brooks Blevins unearths a forgotten chapter of Ozarks history: how the rise of lead mining in southeastern Missouri shaped early America, laid the groundwork for industrial expansion, and gave rise to one of Texas's founding fathers. Summary: Meet Moses Austin: a Connecticut-born entrepreneur whose mining empire in Potosi, Missouri transformed the Ozarks into an industrial hub long before the Wild West was even wild. From the French and Spanish colonial roots of lead mining to the enslaved labor that powered it, Moses Austin's ambition (and eventual downfall) led his son, Stephen F. Austin, to fulfill a vision that would forever change American history. Whether you're a fan of regional history, American industrialization, or Ozark folklore, this story-rich episode is a must-listen. What is The Old Ozarks? The Old Ozarks is your gateway to the forgotten history of the Ozarks. Hosted by renowned historian Dr. Brooks Blevins, the leading authority on the region's history, this podcast explores the lives, legends, and landscapes that have shaped this unique region. Whether you're a native Ozarker, a new resident, or a curious listener, join us as we share the stories that make the Ozarks special and connect us to our past.

The Office of Child Advocate (OCA) was established by the Missouri Legislature in 2002 as an agent of accountability with Missouri's Children's Division (CD). The OCA operates under the Office of Administration (OA) and is independent of the Missouri Department of Social Services, Children's Division, the Department of Mental Health, and the juvenile court. Former State Rep. Becky Ruth (R-Festus) is the director of the Office of Child Advocate. She joined us live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri" to discuss child abuse awareness month, which is in April. Then-President Ronald Reagan first observed child abuse awareness month in 1983. Director Ruth spoke about the trauma and the external and internal scars that victims of child abuse face. She's helping to organize Saturday's parade in downtown Jefferson City to observe child abuse awareness month. Director Ruth tells listeners that at least 60 entries will be in the parade, adding that you'll also see Batman, Superman and the Chick-fil-A cow. The parade, which begins Saturday morning at 10, will start on High street and go to Capitol Avenue. Director Ruth hopes for a good turnout and invites you to attend. She also says the rural southeast Missouri town of Potosi helped give her and others the idea of Saturday's parade. Potosi has had a parade to observe child abuse awareness month for years:

Der Vielreisende Christian Rommel erzählt in dieser Folge, wie er im bolivianischen Potosi ein Silberbergwerk besichtigte. Dass es abenteuerlich werden würde, hatte er gehofft und erwartet – aber nicht, dass er sich über Stunden gefangen in einem klaustrophobischen Labyrinth wiederfinden würde. So viel steht jedenfalls fest: Der tatsächliche Abenteuerfaktor ging weit über das hinaus, wofür Christian bereit war. Die ganze Geschichte gibt es in dieser Reiseflops-Episode.

La Bolivie possède les plus grandes ressources de lithium au monde. Depuis 15 ans, le pays travaille à l'industrialisation de cette filière. Mi-décembre, le gouvernement bolivien a inauguré en grande pompe la première usine de carbonate de lithium du pays. Une étape présentée comme clé mais qui cache mal les difficultés latentes à développer cette industrie et les retombées économiques locales quasi nulles. De notre envoyé spécial à Rio Grande, La Bolivie et le salar d'Uyuni sont en fête. Après des années de retards et de travaux, la première usine de carbonate de lithium est enfin inaugurée. Président, ministres, députés, gouverneur du département... Tout le monde s'est déplacé au milieu du désert de sel. Et beaucoup le répètent, « c'est un jour historique ». Franklin Molina Ortiz, ministre des Hydrocarbures et de l'Énergie, se réjouit de cette inauguration : « Il ne s'agit pas seulement de produire du lithium. Il est évident que cette production va apporter beaucoup de bénéfices en termes d'emplois, d'activité économique et d'industrie pour la région de Potosi. »Pourtant, depuis le lancement de la filière lithium il y a 15 ans, très peu de choses ont été faites pour développer l'emploi local. C'est ce que nous explique Basilio Marcas Flores, dirigeant du syndicat paysan de la région : « Ce que nous voulons pour notre région, c'est que les gens d'ici aient la priorité pour être formés. Car pour le moment, il n'y pas assez de professionnels et il y a beaucoup d'étrangers qui viennent ici. »Localement, les répercussions se font encore attendre Le manque de formation et d'emplois locaux est particulièrement visible à Rio Grande, le village le plus proche de l'usine. Ici, quelques camions tachés de sels arrivent du salar mais les traces de l'industrie du lithium sont rares. Et quand on demande au maire Edgar Mamani s'il y a beaucoup d'emplois locaux liés à l'usine, voici ce qu'il répond : « À l'échelle de notre communauté, ce n'est pas grand-chose. Mais nous nous occupons du service de transport, et cela a généré un emploi. »À lire aussiBolivie: des manifestants bloquent les routes suite au report des élections judiciairesMais Edgar Mamani ne perd pas espoir, selon lui, cela va bientôt changer : « Avec la taille de l'usine, c'est sûr qu'il va y avoir des retombées économiques comme des royalties ou autre. »Une vision optimiste à laquelle ne croit pas du tout Donny Alí, le fondateur et gérant de l'Hôtel lithium de Rio Grande. Un établissement créé en 2014, quand une partie des installations industrielles devaient être construites près de la ville : « Je voyais qu'il y avait besoin d'une sorte de campement pour loger les ingénieurs, les techniciens. D'où l'idée de créer cet hôtel pour accueillir les personnes venant travailler ici. »Des bénéfices recordsFinalement, l'usine est construite dans le salar, les employés logés sur place et même pendant leurs jours de repos, ils ne viennent pas à Rio Grande, se désole le gérant. Le village n'a donc presque aucune activité économique générée grâce à cette industrie. L'année dernière, la Bolivie a battu son record d'exportations de lithium : 600 tonnes pour 52 millions de dollars. Une goutte d'eau par rapport au voisin chilien qui a exporté pour 7,7 milliards. Avec l'inauguration de l'usine, les ventes de lithium devraient augmenter en 2024, mais pour le moment, la Bolivie est encore loin de l'Eldorado promis depuis tant d'années.  À lire aussiBolivie: un accord trouvé entre le gouvernement et le patronat sur la pénurie de dollars

The Cabin is presented by the Wisconsin Counties Association and this week we're featuring Vernon County: https://bit.ly/3MlEDXWThe Cabin is also brought to you by Group Health Trust: https://bit.ly/3JMizCXCampfire Conversation:Eric, Ana, and Jake welcome Chelsey Knuth into The Cabin for a heady look at Wisconsin's indoor museums, since it's a good time of year to be indoors when doing casual things. Chelsey is known to over 50,000 IG followers as The Wisconsinista, and her extensive travels around the state give her a solid level of expertise and another perspective. All four Cabin dwellers dive in to some of their favorite museums to explore, including Chelsey with some “must see” museums like the Milwaukee Art Museum, Milwaukee Public Museum, Discovery World (complete with Wisconsin's largest aquarium), and the Harley-Davidson Museum for when you're in Wisconsin's largest city. For art, she recommends the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Museum in Wausau; the Wisconsin Museum of Quilt & Fiber Arts in Cedarburg; and, in a twist, the Bergstrom-Mahler Museum of Glass in Neenah - for a more fragile yet just-as-stunning art. Chelsey also delved into children's museums, with great ones in Milwaukee, La Crosse, Green Bay, Madison, Eau Claire and more. On a more somber yet very historical note, the Peshtigo Fire Museum is a great stop once it opens again in spring. Hall of Fame Museums cover the Green Bay Packers, snowmobiles, even bobbleheads. Historic homes and mansions across state to explore include the Pabst Mansion and Villa Terrace in Milwaukee; House on the Rock and Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin home, both near Spring Green; the Paine Art Center in Oshkosh; the Fairlawn Mansion in Superior, and more. Ana delved into cultural museums, including the Menominee Tribe Cultural & Logging Museum; plus, Wisconsin's own State Capitol is a museum in itself. Eric discussed the National Brewery Museum in Potosi, the Wisconsin Automotive Museum in Hartford, the Wisconsin Maritime Museum in Manitowoc, Green Bay's Neville Public Museum and National Railroad Museum, the Copper Culture Museum in Oconto, and - while there's an outdoor component too - the National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame in Hayward. Jake chimed in with the National Mustard Museum in Middleton and - perhaps most unique - Redner's Rescued Cat Figurine Museum in Menomonee Falls.

This week, hammered dulcimer prodigy, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and Ozark original Ben Haguewood recorded live at Ozark Folk Center State Park. Also, an interview with this upstart hammer wielding dulcimer master. Ben Haguewood is an Ozark original hailing from the tiny hamlet of Potosi, Missouri near the heart of the Mark Twain National Forest. Although a relative newcomer to the competitive world of hammered dulcimer playing, Ben has left his mark on the art form both as a player and a composer. Since becoming a regular Ozark Folk Center performer as a teen, he's voraciously absorbed all the traditional folk music he could and collected many friends along the way. Ben has been in more than a few bands over the years but his partnership with champion old-time fiddler Kailee Spickes stands out as most enduring. The duo make up two fifths of the band “Taller Than You” and all of the band “Blackberry Summer.” Possessing a seemingly inexhaustible desire to create, both separately and together, Ben and Kailee have explored multiple instruments, musical styles, and even songwriting. From rousing traditional jigs to delicate original ballads, you'll enjoy this journey through the music of Ben Haguewood. In this week's “From the Vault” segment, OHR producer Jeff Glover offers a 2022 archival recording of Ozark original and dulcimer instructor to Ben Haguewood, Janice Huff, performing her original tune “Back of the Moon” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives. In this week's guest host segment, renowned traditional folk musician, writer, and step dancer Aubrey Atwater examines nonsensical lyrics in traditional songs.

Jon Jarosh from Destination Door County joins for a look at the Door County Coastal Byway, 66 miles of beauty and charming towns on the Door Peninsula along Highways 42 and 57, from Sturgeon Bay north to beautiful coasts, state and county parks, and towns like Egg Harbor, Fish Creek, Ephraim, Sister Bay, Ellison Bay, Gills Rock, Baileys Harbor, and Jacksonport. Mary Motiff from Bayfield County (and the mayor of its county seat, Washburn) joins for the Lake Superior Scenic Byway conversation. The Byway covers 70 miles along Highway 13 in Bayfield County, showing off the beauty of the northern coast of the state from near Ashland through Washburn and Bayfield over to Cornucopia, Port Wing, and Herbster with beaches, forest, orchards, wineries, and even the first National Tribal Park in the nation along the way. Josh Ostermann joins Eric and Ana in The Cabin for a look at the others (yes, pizza gets a mention.) The ​Nicolet-Wolf River Scenic Byway is the newest, covering 145 miles through the Nicolet National Forest and along the beautiful Wolf River, which has a National Scenic River designation. It winds through Forest, Langlade, Oneida and Vilas Counties along segments of Highways 55, 52, 32, and 70 with connections to a wide variety of multi-use, all-season trails. The Lower Wisconsin River State Scenic Byway covers 100 miles along Highway 60 from Lodi to Bridgeport by Prairie du Chien, giving you a nice cross-section of Wisconsin's incredible Driftless Area and the shifting courses of the Wisconsin River and its valley. Finally, Wisconsin's segment of the Great River Road gets covered as it runs along the Mississippi River from East Dubuque to Prescott. This multi-state byway actually begins in Minnesota and follows the Mississippi River for 10 states until it ends in New Orleans, Louisiana, but Wisconsin's segment is the most scenic (by many measures, not just ours!) It covers 250 miles, much of it along Highway 35, through 33 river towns. These include some of the oldest settlements in the state, the dynamic city of La Crosse as well as Prairie du Chien (the only place where two state designated scenic byways meet) and charming smaller towns like Trempealeau, Stockholm, Pepin, Alma, Fountain City, and Potosi. You can enjoy many scenic overlooks, with some great birding opportunities including bald eagles. All in all, Wisconsin's five designated scenic byways provide over 600 miles of road trip beauty and fun.

En Haïti, de plus en plus de diplômés quittent le pays pour se réfugier à l'étranger. Ce phénomène qui touche presque tous les secteurs d'activités du pays n'est pas nouveau, mais ces dernières années, la tendance s'est intensifiée. Le départ des Haïtiens qualifiés, dans tous les secteurs, s'est accéléré ces derniers mois. En raison principalement de la violence des gangs armés, mais aussi du plan Biden, qui autorise la venue aux États-Unis de plusieurs milliers d'Haïtiens. Même si le pays a déjà vécu des vagues d'émigration de ses diplômés par le passé, le phénomène ne cesse de prendre de l'ampleur, ce qui met à mal les entreprises du pays et affecte durement l'économie haïtienne, comme nous le raconte notre correspondante à Haïti, Marie-Andrée Belange.  Mondial de Foot : pas de miracle pour les « Grenadières » Les joueuses haïtiennes se sont inclinées un à zéro face à la Chine, dans un match haletant… Les « Grenadières » peuvent nourrir des regrets après le penalty refusé dans les arrêts de jeu – décision arbitrale qui devrait susciter la polémique. Après avoir perdu sur le même score face à l'Angleterre, les Haïtiennes n'ont quasiment plus aucune chance de se qualifier pour les huitièmes de finale… Mais elles peuvent encore espérer emporter leur première victoire dans un Mondial féminin, mardi prochain (1er août 2023) face au Danemark.  Potosi, un patrimoine en danger  En Bolivie, le patrimoine de la ville de Potosi est en danger. Considérée comme le centre des Amériques coloniales pendant plusieurs siècles, la cité est inscrite au patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco depuis 1987. Mais la municipalité peine à entretenir ses églises et ses palais du XVIIe siècle... Et en 2014, la ville a été ajoutée à la liste du patrimoine mondial en péril. Aujourd'hui, des initiatives sont mises en place pour sauver ce patrimoine en danger. Reportage de Nils Sabin.  Le journal de la 1ère La grève des pilotes de la compagnie aérienne Air Guyane qui se poursuit après plus de 20 jours.

L'Empire aztèque, qui correspond à peu près au Mexique actuel, s'effondre très vite, en 1521, sous les coups que lui porte le conquistador espagnol Hernan Cortes. Mais, par ailleurs, sa population est rapidement décimée.Les historiens se sont longtemps demandé pourquoi. On a invoqué l'intensité des combats qui aboutirent à la conquête de l'Empire aztèque. Ainsi, environ 40.000 combattants aztèques périssent dans les combats qui se terminent par la prise de Tenochtitlan, la capitale de l'Empire.Par ailleurs, la violence exercée par les Espagnols, ou du moins beaucoup d'entre eux, à l'égard des autochtones, est aussi considérée comme l'une des causes de cette diminution spectaculaire de la population locale.Elle s'est ainsi manifestée par l'introduction de la "mita", qui obligeait les hommes âgés de 15 à 50 ans à travailler dans les mines, notamment les mines d'argent du Potosi. Les conditions de travail y étant très dures, des millions d'Indiens sont morts en quelques années.Mais les historiens ont découvert une autre raison de cette hécatombe. Et elle est déterminante. Si autant d'Aztèques ont succombé, en peu de temps, ce serait à cause du virus de la variole.Il aurait été introduit au Mexique par des soldats qui, en 1520, débarquent au Mexique. Parmi les passagers, plusieurs Amérindiens, venant de Cuba, et un esclave africain, auraient été contaminés par le virus.À partir de là, la maladie se serait répandue comme une traînée de poudre. Ainsi, 200.000 personnes seraient mortes à Tenochtitlan durant l'hiver 1520-1521. La population de la capitale aurait été réduite de 60 % en quelques mois.La maladie n'aurait pas seulement fait des ravages dans l'Empire aztèque. Ainsi, la population de l'île d'Hispaniola, que se partagent aujourd'hui Saint-Domingue et Haïti, voit sa population passer d'un million d'habitants en 1492 à environ 30.000 en 1520.On a des descriptions contemporaines de la maladie. Elles nous montrent des Amérindiens couverts de pustules, des rues jonchées de cadavres et une odeur pestilentielle, qui empuantissait l'air des villes.

Sponsored by www.betterhelp.com/TheBarnTom Huck is a renowned printmaking artist based in St. Louis, Missouri, known for his intricate and visually stunning woodcut prints. Huck's work draws inspiration from American folk art, tattoo culture, and popular culture, creating a unique blend of traditional and contemporary styles.Huck was born in Potosi, Missouri, in 1971, and grew up in rural Missouri. He first discovered printmaking while studying at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, where he earned a BFA in printmaking in 1997. He later received an MFA in printmaking from Washington University in St. Louis in 2000.Huck's early work was heavily influenced by traditional woodcut techniques, using bold lines and high contrast to create striking and detailed images. Over time, his style evolved, incorporating more intricate and layered designs, as well as a wider range of subjects and themes.Huck's prints often explore themes of American culture and history, often with a satirical or subversive twist. His work addresses issues such as politics, religion, and social inequality, while also celebrating the traditions and values of rural America.One of Huck's most famous series is "The Hillbilly Kama Sutra," a collection of woodcut prints that parody the traditional Indian sex manual, reimagining it through the lens of American folk culture. The prints feature humorous and often graphic depictions of sexual positions, accompanied by witty and irreverent titles.Huck's work has been exhibited in numerous galleries and museums across the United States, including the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the New York Public Library, and the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis. He has also been featured in publications such as Juxtapoz, Print Magazine, and Art in America.In addition to his printmaking, Huck is also an accomplished musician and songwriter, performing with the band Salt Horse. He has also published several books, including "The Bloody Bucket," a collection of his woodcut prints, and "Evil Prints," a guide to printmaking techniques and history.Throughout his career, Huck has remained dedicated to preserving the traditions and techniques of woodcut printing, while also pushing the boundaries of the medium and exploring new directions in his art. His work is a testament to the enduring power and relevance of printmaking as a form of artistic expression.This episode is sponsored by www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn and presented to you by The Barn Media Group.

In Indexicalism: The Metaphysics of Paradox (Edinburgh UP, 2021), Hilan Bensusan clarifies the logic and structure of an essentially situated and indexical metaphysics that is paradoxical and can also be regarded as a chapter in the critique of metaphysics. Bensusan articulates a metaphysical view of the other – both human and non-human, in what Meillassoux calls 'the great outdoors' – that can never be totalised into a single or univocal whole. He develops an innovative account of perception, as a matter of our irreducibly situated relationship to this non-totalisable outdoors. In the book's coda, Bensusan underscores the social-political implications of this radical metaphysics in a postcolonial context in a meditation on the sites of Potosi in the Andes and Yasuni National Park in the Ecuadorian Amazon. Equally at home with analytic and continental philosophy, Bensusan enlists Levinas, Whitehead, Heidegger, Kripke, Deleuze, Derrida, Benso, Harman, Garcia, Cogburn, McDowell and Haraway. He does so in a way that proves to be transformative for crucial aspects of their work, for contemporary approaches to thinking about what it means to be in our world, and for reckoning with the responsibilities that press upon us from the outside. Adam Bobeck is a PhD candidate in Cultural Anthropology at the University of Leipzig.

Pickle Creek runs two miles through Ste. Genevieve County's sandstone valleys. It carries some of Missouri's cleanest water, but residents worry that could change if Nexgen Silica gets full approval to mine sandstone on a 249-acre plot of land along nearby Highway 32.They don't have to look very far to see the outcome they fear most. Ste. Genevieve sits near Missouri's Old Lead Belt, where mining lasted from the 1700s to 1972 and spanned nearby Washington, Madison and St. Francois counties.The industry produced nine million tons of lead and 250 million tons of hazardous mining waste.Decades later, some residents are still dealing with toxic waste left behind by lead mining.“There is literally a Superfund site sitting in the middle of town that they capped off, but for decades it was just loose, blowing lead everywhere,” said Samantha Danieley, who grew up in Washington County and now lives in St. Francois County. The new mine has nothing to do with lead, but residents fear history could repeat itself. Lead mining and silica mining can both produce invisible dust that can harm a person's health if swallowed or inhaled once it's in the air. Brothers Larry and Patrick Kertz are lifelong residents of Ste. Genevieve. They remember riding motorcycles past the hills of mine waste 35 miles from home in the 1970s and 1980s. After living in the shadow of lead mining, Larry Kertz said he wants a better understanding of what will be left when the silica mine is no longer useful. “It could be a big ditch with a huge waste pile of silica sand that could blow out into the area,” he said. “They're not really addressing what's going to be done after the mine is over.”Other residents are worried about how the mine will impact the natural environment. “We want to raise our kids in this beautiful outdoorsy environment with farm life and all these things,” said Jillian Ditch Anslow, a mom to a 14-month-old daughter who started Operation Sand, an organization to oppose the silica mine earlier this year. “And now we have this potential threat to our children's health and development.”Lasting legacyThe fight over Nexgen's silica mine has rekindled a debate that has played out in communities across the country, where the lasting legacy of lead mining means residents regularly risk contact with the neurotoxin in their daily lives.Lead persists in the environment, including in water and soil where it can pose a threat to the health of people living nearby. After the mining ended in the Old Lead Belt, several large areas of mine waste, called chat dumps, were left behind in the region.A combination of years of blowing winds, runoff from rain and manual transportation by locals of waste materials have supercharged the toxin's reach. The Big River, a tributary of the Meramec River, also transported toxic mine waste downstream.“I remember growing up in Potosi and we would pick pieces of lead up off the ground,” Danieley said. Some of the piles left behind span upwards of 1,000 acres, said Jason Gunther, a project manager with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) who oversees remediation work in Big River Mine Tailings Superfund site, including St. Francois County. “This material was also set above these towns, some of these piles were 300 feet above the neighboring towns,” Gunther said. “They would blow… Not just gravel-sized materials but also much finer materials.”He estimates the soil on 5,000 properties in St. Francois County has been contaminated by lead, although soil sampling isn't complete. Even if a sample comes back at 800 parts per million – double the concentration considered safe by the EPA for children to play in – it could be years before the soil is remediated because of the high number of properties testing with high concentrations. “It's not uncommon to see some that are above 2,000 parts per million,” Gunther said. Natural levels of lead in soil typically range from 50 to 400 parts per million, according to the EPA. Gunther expects soil remediation and pile stabilization work to continue beyond 2030.Meanwhile, locals have adapted to life under the toxic circumstances. Danieley said when her teenage children were younger, she worried about letting them play outside. Children can become poisoned from playing in contaminated soil when they get lead dust or paint chips or dust on their fingers then put their hands in their mouths. Danieley also worried about how the contaminated soil could impact local farming. “If you're out doing yard gardening, and you're digging through all this lead contaminated dust, you're getting that dust on your hands, you're possibly ingesting it,” she said. Mining isn't the only way lead can end up in soil, says Jeff Wenzel, bureau chief for the Bureau of Environmental Epidemiology with the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services.Soil along busy roads can also be contaminated from before gasoline was unleaded and paint chips from old houses can taint soil in yards. But in Missouri in particular, lead mining contributed significantly to contaminated soil in some areas. “Lead mining has been in Missouri pretty much since since Missouri was a state even before Missouri was a state,” Wenzel said. Once lead makes it into soil, it can pose a major health hazard for people living nearby. Wenzel says that beyond the hand-to-mouth route, lead particles can also be breathed into the mouth then swallowed.Crops planted in tainted soil can also pose a threat. “Your root crops can have dirt or soil left on them, so you want to clean those really well,” Wenzel said. “We see uptake in plants, especially plants like kale. Things like green plants that can live multiple years or come back year after year especially can have a pretty high lead accumulation.”According to the World Health Organization, there is no safe level of lead, and even low levels of exposure has been shown to cause cognitive impairment in children.Research dating back decades has shown that children living near mining areas are more likely to have elevated blood lead levels than children who don't. Missouri's Old Lead Belt counties aren't the only former mining regions devastated by the impacts of the industry long after it ended. Galena, Kansas, is part of the Tri-State Mining District that spanned parts of Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri until the 1970s. The rural town of less than 3,000 people was named after the lead ore known as galena after it was found there in the late 1800s.In the same county in Treece, Kansas, the Picher Lead Company of Joplin, Missouri, discovered lead and zinc underground in 1914, according to a 2012 article published in The New York Times. By the 1920s, the site was the largest producer of zinc and lead in the country and by 1981 the EPA ranked Treece as the most contaminated area in the country. Today, it's a ghost town, bought out by the federal agency.Waste from zinc and lead mining covered 4,000 acres in Cherokee County when the mining ended.The EPA is still taking remedial action on the site and conducting investigative work on nearby watersheds. Silica health risksIn Ste. Genevieve, Anslow wants to keep her town from becoming a case study for how silica mining impacts human health.Silica mining typically relies on open pit or dredging mining methods. The process can generate dust-sized particles invisible to the naked eye that can be inhaled and reach the lungs. Over time, extended exposure is associated with silicosis, lung cancer or chronic bronchitis. People working directly with silica dust are most at risk for developing medical lung conditions, said Bobby Shah, a pulmonologist with St. Luke's Hospital in Chesterfield, Missouri. “We definitely have known for decades that silica itself is harmful to the lungs,” Shah said. “Patients across that spectrum of acute, chronic or accelerated [silicosis], can develop scarring in their lungs, the term that is commonly used as fibrosis,” Shah said, “and they can quickly and then from there on, develop even more respiratory symptoms.”Shah said there's not enough data to know what risk silica particles pose to the general population surrounding a mining site, but people who smoke are more likely to develop medical conditions related to exposure. “I don't want my daughter to be where it's like, okay, ‘Let's come and sample and let's monitor the children's health in Ste. Genevieve County,'” Anslow said. Mitigation processes will help limit the mine's impact on residents' health, said Clark Bollinger, Nexgen's general manager.“Certainly the dust will not be an issue,” he said. “The noise – we've got ideas and things in place to help mitigate some of the noise for the local residents.”Bollinger said the site contains enough reserves for around 50 years of mining and that there's a plan in place to restore the area and ensure it's safe after the mining ends by installing a large lake. He also said the mine will have minimal or no impact on nearby Hawn State Park or the local watershed and aquifer. Missouri Parks Association executive director Kendra Varns Wallis said it's not yet possible to know for sure how the mine could impact local water sources and wildlife and expressed concern about its proximity to Hickory Canyons Natural Area. “There couldn't be a worse place to put it, honestly,” Wallis said. As Ste. Genevieve residents fight against the mine, Nexgen remains far from breaking ground. Some of Anslow's work with Operation Sand paid off when county commissioners and the county health department passed an ordinance prohibiting new mines from opening within a half-a-mile of schools, towns, churches and public wells.Nexgen has filed a suit asking a judge to strike down the ordinance. In July, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources Land Reclamation Program granted the company one of three permits required to operate the mine. The company m
