Thus far we know that three Hermann citizens have filed for the Office of Ward 1 Alderman.  They are incumbent John Penning, and challengers Bob Arnsmeyer and Bruce Cox.

We also know that, as of close of business this evening, we have had one filing for the Office of Ward 2 Alderman.  Incumbent Brian Chorley has filed for re-election.  But will Mr. Chorley have a challenger?  Patrick Layton Paulsen announced his candidacy several weeks ago, but he has not filed yet.  Paulsen had indicated that he will drop out IF another challenger for the office steps forward.

Hermann Hearsay learned this afternoon that there will be a late filer for Ward 2 Alderman.  Chorley will be challenged by someone other than Paulsen.

At this time, we are withholding the name of the late filer for the Ward 2 Alderman position.  We will report the name of Mr. Chorley's challenger just as soon as the anticipated filing has been completed.

Song Of The Day - Friday, 1/14/2011

"Please Mr. Postman" is the debut single by The Marvelettes for the Tamla (Motown) label, notable as the first Motown song to reach the number-one position on the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart. The single achieved this position in late 1961; it hit number one on the R&B chart as well. "Please Mr. Postman" became a number-one hit again in early 1975 when The Carpenters' cover of the song reached the top position of the Billboard Hot 100.

In April 1961, the Marvelettes (then known as "The Marvels") arranged an audition for Berry Gordy's Tamla/Motown label. Marvels member Georgia Dobbins needed an original song for their audition, and got a blues song from her friend William Garrett, which she then reworked for the group. Dobbins left the group after the audition and was replaced, Gordy renamed the group and hired "Brianbert"—Brian Holland and Robert Bateman's songwriting partnership—to rework the song yet again. Freddie Gorman, another songwriting partner of Holland (before Holland became part of the Holland–Dozier–Holland team) was also was involved in the final reworking.

The Marvelettes recording features lead singer Gladys Horton hoping that the postman has brought her a letter from her boyfriend, who is away at war. Accompaniment is provided by The Funk Brothers, including Marvin Gaye on drums.

Songwriting credits for "Please Mr. Postman" seem to have changed over the years. The original Tamla 45 single for the Marvelettes' version credits "Dobbins/Garett/Brianbert" as the songwriters, and credits "Brianbert" as producer. The original With the Beatles album cover credited it to just Brian Holland. The 1976 Beatles discography book All Together Now credits it to Holland, Bateman, and Berry Gordy. The 1992 Motown boxed set Hitsville USA: The Motown Singles Collection credits Dobbins, Garrett, Holland, Bateman, and Gorman as the composers. As of 2006, the Songwriters Hall of Fame credits "Please Mr. Postman" to just Holland, Bateman, and Gorman. EMI Music Publishing, the current music publisher of the song list all five writers in their catalog. The Marvelettes' version appears in a bar fight scene in Mean Streets, directed by Martin Scorsese.

"Please Mr. Postman" has been covered frequently, including a version by The Beatles on their With the Beatles album. Sung by John Lennon, their version reverses the genders. Later, a second hit version was recorded by The Carpenters, whose version took the song again to number one on the Hot 100 in early 1975. The Pat Boone Family released their version of the song at approximately the same time, resulting in both versions appearing simultaneously on the South African Hit Parade. The Carpenters' cover version was also sampled by rapper Juelz Santana for his single "Oh Yes". It is used by the Rob, Arnie and Dawn Show to introduce their Listener Mail segment, and was sung by the presenters of British Saturday morning show SMTV Live to introduce the mailbag section.

Here are the Marvelettes with their original version of "Please Mr. Postman" .....

"How come old Jacquin or Jackass, or whatever his name is, hasn't moved back to Florida yet?"  ~ Southern District Associate Commissioner Jerry D. Lairmore on Thursday, 1/13/2011 immediately following the Gasconade County Commission Meeting in Hermann

Real professional (as usual), Jerry!  Speaking of a jackass ......  An elected official talking about a citizen and taxpayer of Gasconade County in this condescending manner!  Jerry, everyone knows you are an arrogant, incompetent public official.  Why do you keep advertising it for all to see?!

Bible Verse Of The Day - Friday, 1/14/2011

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. – Galatians 6:9

In the midst of a passage on the implications of sowing to the Spirit vs. sowing to our sinful nature, the apostle Paul gives us some much needed encouragement: We need to learn to sow good seed in the midst of bad harvests. It is one thing to do good when things are going well; it is entirely different to do good in the midst of tough situations. We can become so tired and lose perspective. Do you feel like giving up? Stay with it. The harvest is waiting.

Today’s commentary by Dave Whitehead, Senior Pastor, GraceNYC.org
