User-friendly U.S. Census map
Posted Wednesday, January 11, at 11:54 AM Since the completion of the 2010 U.S. Census, data has been periodically released. Much of the specific data about counties and municipalities has been difficult to find. However, the U.S. Census Bureau recently released a new interactive map that makes finding data very simple...
New District Maps A few weeks ago, the Missouri Appellate Apportionment Commission submitted the new district maps for the Missouri House of Representatives and Senate. Since the maps were submitted, the proposal for the Senate was rescinded. A new Senate map was released several days ago. The House map was not rescinded...
2011 Deer Harvest Map The 2011 firearm deer season officially ended Tuesday. According to the Missouri Department of Conservation, just over 190,000 deer were harvested during the firearm season -- Nov. 12 to 22. Below is a harvest map released by the conservation department, which breaks down the number of deer harvested by county. The data for the map includes all the deer harvested in every season this year...
More 2010 Census Data In this week's print edition of The Concordian, I wrote a story about the changing demographics in Concordia. I included as much relevant information as possible in the story. However, as happens with any story, some facts do not make the cut. If you are interested in seeing more about Concordia's demographic profile, here is the link: http://factfinder2.census.gov/faces/tableservices/jsf/pages/productview.xhtml?pid=DEC_10_DP_DPDP1&prodType=table...
Many local graudates plan to attend college In the next two weeks more than 100 seniors from three area high schools -- Concordia High School, Saint Paul Lutheran High School and Santa Fe High School -- will graduate and set out to accomplish their future plans. Of those graduating this year, 76 percent are planning to attend college, six percent will attend a vocational school, six percent will enter the military, seven percent will go straight to the workforce and two percent are undecided, according to information submitted to The Concordian by the students.. ...
With winter over and spring here, Missouri and the Concordia area are once again the spring and summer home for Purple Martins. Purple Martins arrive every spring in Missouri for annual breeding, after spending the winter in the warm, tropical climates of South America...
Local seismograph registers massive earthquake While many people are aware of the devastating earthquake and tsunami that crippled much of Japan's eastern seaboard, something you might not know is that the earthquake also created some seismic activity in the Concordia area. A seismograph currently installed west of Concordia on the farm of Gil Alligood has not shown much activity since it was placed on the farm last December. However, the recent incident in Japan has changed that...

"Worth one's salt" In every-day conversation, we use popular phrases or clichés without a second thought as to what they mean or their origins. In every culture, the people have settled on particular meanings for each word and phrases; therefore, it is not necessary to question common colloquial terms. And typically I don't either. However, if I hear a certain phrase more than once in a day, I usually start to wonder: "Where does that come from?" or "What does that really mean?"...
A ferry tale I really like learning little pieces of trivial information that are only useful during trivia games and small talk. As a reporter, I learn something new during every story; however, not all of it is relevant to the story. So I have decided to use my blog to share those little tidbits of information...
What kind of tree is it? It's that time of year again. Time to pull those large, misshappened boxes, with strip after strip of duct tape wrapped around them, from the closet, basement or attic and start the yearly ritual of decorating the house for Christmas. I personally do not find any satisfaction in Christmas decorations, but my wife, Katie, loves it. I have decided the best thing for me to do is to stand aside and let her go to work on decorating our home...
The Risk of growing old After graduating college, I thought adulthood would be boring. I assumed fun was something only children and teenagers enjoyed. Adults just worked and raised families. However, I have been quite surprised to learn that being an adult is just as fun -- maybe even more fun...
The story behind the story Every journalist has significant moments in his or her career that will never be forgotten. For me, it was Ike Skelton's watch party in Lexington last Tuesday, Nov. 2. Partisan politics aside, it was a historic moment. The night was significant not only because it was the end of an era, but also it was a journalistic adrenaline rush. ...
Random adventures or misadventures This is my first blog post for The Concordian, therefore, it is necessary to explain the nature of my posts. I will be writing about random adventures or misadventures, which usually involve me and my wife, Katie, or me and friends. My wife, Katie, and I are notorious for our funny adventures, which do not usually go according to plan, but few things in life do...
