Residents along river given evacuation order

KANSAS CITY (AP) — Residents in the northwest Missouri community of Craig were given a 48-hour mandatory evacuation order yesterday as floodwaters from the Missouri River threatened the Holt County town of 300 people.

Other towns in the county, such as tiny Corning nine miles north of Craig and Big Lake and Fortescue to the south, already have been evacuated as the flood moves south from the Iowa-Nebraska border.

In Craig, home to a Golden Triangle Energy ethanol plant, volunteers and inmates from nearby correctional facilities were busy sandbagging around town as floodwaters threatened to overtop or breach area levees.

Former Mayor Terry Eaton, who in recent years has been overseeing efforts to get a new water plant in Craig, said some residents will remain in town to help fight back the water.

“We’re here to stay and put up one hell of a fight,” Eaton said. “We’re not giving up ship.”

Water has filled fields on both sides of Interstate 29 at Corning, about 13 miles south of Rock Port, where the interstate already has been closed because of flooding at Hamburg, Iowa.

Marty Liles, an engineer with the Missouri Department of Transportation, said MODOT officials met yesterday with the Missouri State Highway Patrol to map out plans in case it’s necessary to close the interstate at Corning.

He said water levels yesterday morning along the interstate were about the same as they were the previous night, and water would have to come up another 3 to 4 feet before it goes over the highway.

Holt County Commissioner Bill Gordon said Craig, which already had been losing businesses and residents, could be doomed in the aftermath of the expected flooding.

“This is probably going to destroy Craig,” Gordon said. “The bank has moved out, the hardware store, the restaurant is closed. The post office has moved its service to Mound City. There was a seed store there, and a couple small mechanic shops. Craig is probably going to be a ghost town when this is done, all thanks to the Corps of Engineers.”

Many along the river blame the corps for its management of the waterway and decision to release 150,000 cubic feet of water per second from Gavin’s Point Dam in South Dakota — a rate the corps announced yesterday will be increased to 160,000 cubic feet per second by tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon has ordered the State Emergency Management Agency to help communities obtain sand.

Have you tried asking Numbersusa, Programmers Guild and your employer about changing leadership? What makes this organization any different? Just because anyone can post anything on IV website to get visibility on the homepage, its not ok to abuse the resources of the organization. We did not create IV to promote democracy or freedom of expression, there are ample of other sites to promote democracy and freedom of expression, you are free to use those resource at your liking. IV website is for a single purpose of achieving the goals we have set for the organization. You can find our goals on the website. And anything that conflicts with our goal will be removed. Its easy to use terms like democracy, freedom of expression etc to defend actions that malign the good effort put in by others. To make things clear, IV's objective is not to promote or preserve democracy/freedom of expression. We have a goal to achieve and we will not deter from our goal, whatever it takes. My wife entered the US on a tourist visa (B-2). She was accepted at a univeristy here in the US so she applied for a change of status (application I-539) from tourist visa (B-2) to student visa (F-1) on 30th October 2008. Her I-94 expires on January 3rd 2009 (in a few days time!) and we still have not heard anything from immigration about our case. My PD is Dec 2005 (EB2) and I'm on EAD. I dont know when I'll get the GC but hoping that I'll get it in the next year. I already got an RFE so I'm not expecting another one. The question is, if I get laid off now, can I buy a business (say a convenience store or a subway) and run it (while on EAD)? and would it cause any problems now or in the future when applying for citizenship? I know you have to work in same or similar industry, but my industry is hard hit with recession and I don't think I can find a similar job. So how will they enforce this? Or do they even care? I am from India and filed through university my I-140 and I-485 Concurrently on August-22,2006 in EB-2 SCHEDULE A ( Categorey II) EXCEPTIONAL ABILITY which is still current for all countries including India.. I had not seen any activity on My I-140 yet and Now for EB-2 Premiumprocessing is available now.More over Schedule A is likely to retrogess some time in November,2006 Actually Steve I've been doing some reading and research but I've always been some what of a "show me don't tell me" type person.
