MoDOT still needs long-term federal funding package
Eldon R-1 slashes $650,000 in expenditures
A moustache by any other name is still a moustache. That doesn’t stop the pencil-thin, the handlebar, the Fu Manchu, Frank Zappa’s signature ‘stache or even a few straggly hairs from adorning men’s upper lips.
Firefighters at Lake Ozark Fire Protection District will be auctioning off their facial hair as a unique fundraiser for the district's benevolent association. Those who didn't have moustaches before are quickly growing them out and those who already did are quickly putting price tags on theirs.
For example, Fire Marshal James Doyle says he'll shave off his moustache for $500, his hair for $1,000 and his eyebrows for $2,000.
The money raised will be used for a Shop with a Fireman event the fire district's benevolent association is planning for in the fall.

Statewide tornado drill is Thursday
2010 Severe Weather Awareness Week is March 8-12.
The statewide tornado drill will be held at 1:30 p.m. Thursday, March 11.
The NWS will send the drill message out as if it were an actual warning, so All Hazard NOAA Weather Radio stations will tone alert, and it is our hope that local officials will sound tornado sirens as well.
