The Missouri Department of Conservation held a free fishing day at Stephens Lake Park in Columbia recently. However, real conservation requires an end to fishing. Fish might not look like human beings, but they are sensitive, complex beings. They form emotional attachments and become depressed when they lose their mates. They can count and tell time, think ahead and “talk” to one another underwater. They also feel pain. A 2019 University of Liverpool study showed that fish feel pain in a way similar to humans. And now we are discovering the health risks. Eating just a single fish pulled from U.S. lakes or rivers could be equal to drinking water tainted with “forever chemicals” for a month.

Fishing isn't a means of conservation for planet

When April Ferrao made the decision to run for the Columbia School Board, she had to quit her job at the city-county health department, one of her favorite jobs ever. City ordinances state that employees must take a leave of absence if they run for public office and resign immediately if they are elected. This reality put Ferrao, who had worked for the city for just about a year, in a difficult spot. She initially took a leave, but it expired Monday, she said.

Ferrao looks to bring years of CPS experience to School Board
