Choices in Education
From the desk of Senator David Pearce
There has been much discussion among lawmakers this session regarding education. As chair of the Senate Education Committee, it has been a big responsibility to provide for the educational needs of Missourians. In this changing world, we need to explore non-traditional methods of education in order to provide for the best interests of today’s students. We can achieve this by researching and utilizing common-sense options.

Gizzmos and gimmicks just don't work...
Gas prices around Butler and Adrian range from the upper $3.50's to the mid $3.60's or more- prompting some to seek ways to improve mileage and the pro's say they just don't work
The Internet is teeming with quick and easy ways to get more mileage out of your car. But mechanics and watchdogs urge caution for drivers across the country forced to fill ‘er up despite those rising prices: The actual results are not only dubious, but may even end up hurting your car.
“There’s a lot of black science out there,” said Bill Moss, a lifelong mechanic and director of the mechanics division at the Automotive Service Association.

Butler FCCLA earns gold with "GO PINK" project
Students from Butler High School attended the annual Missouri Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) State Leadership Conference, March 25-27, at the Holiday Inn Executive Center, Columbia. The delegates from across the state represented more than 11,000 members of Missouri FCCLA.
The following Butler High School Chapter members attended the conference: Dalton Fischer son of Travis Fischer, Trenton Peters son of Jon and Audrea Peters, Lauren Wainscott daughter of Darin and Annie Wainscott, Maggie Massey daughter of Curry and Linda Massey and Kassidy Hannah daughter of Kirk and Sheryl Hannah. Local chapter advisor Robin Colburn along with chaperone Annie Wainscott also attended.
This year’s student-developed conference theme was “Dare to Be Different: Not Just Another Teen Conference.” The conference feature speakers and workshops on topics such as preparing for college and careers, leadership skills, bullying prevention, and technology’s impact in education, careers, and on the family. In addition to leadership training, honors and recognition, more than 800 students participated in 33 competitive events, including entrepreneurship, culinary arts, job interviews, preparation for careers in education, and chapter service learning projects.
Dalton Fischer and Trenton Peters entered in the STAR Event of Chapter Service Project Manual, a team event, which recognizes chapters that develop and implement an in-depth service project that makes a worthwhile contribution to families, schools, and communities. Students must use Family and Consumer Sciences content and skills to address and take action on a community need. Participants must prepare a manual and an oral presentation. The project presented was the One Step Closer to a Cure at the high school in October where FBLA sponsored the 5K run/walk that raised $7,500 for Sara Clarke and Logan Wells to help them fight their battle with cancer. This team received Silver at the State Level.
Lauren Wainscott, Maggie Massey and Kassidy Hannah entered in the STAR Event of Chapter Service Project Display, a team event, which recognizes chapters that develop and implement an in-depth service project that makes a worthwhile contribution to families, schools and communities. Students must use Family and Consumer Sciences content and skills to address and take action on a community need. Participants must prepare a display and an oral presentation. The project presented was the GO PINK event at the high school in September/October where FCCLA raised over $3,000 for the Susan G. Komen Foundation and other organizations to help find a cure for breast cancer. This team received Gold at the State Level.
