Coffee Shop Hearsay - Monday, 8/23/2010
Date: 8/23/2010
I was in St. Louis from Wednesday of last week until Saturday along with our entire staff. We took in a Cardinals ballgame, saw the new Julia Roberts movie, ate way too much good food and did a little team building.
When I'm gone that long, I tend to lose touch with what has been happening in Hermann. The best way I've found to catch up on the news and hearsay is to meet with some of the locals at any one of several good coffee shops here in Hermann. So that's just what I did early this morning.
Elmer, Cletus, Barry and Thurston, all four loyal Hermann Hearsay subscribers, were already at Hardee's when I walked in. They waved me over. After querying me about my activities in St. Louis, they started telling me about recent news and hearsay in Hermann. We must have gone through three pots of coffee!
The most interesting bit of hearsay they passed on to me was the rumor about one of the county commissioners filing an ethics complaint against another commissioner (or commissioners). They weren't real clear if the complaint named just one commissioner or two. I checked out their information at www.mec.mo.gov/ , but no information was posted on the Missouri Ethics Commission website as of 10 a.m. this morning. I'll keep checking.
The group had heard various stories about the ethics complaint. Elmer and Barry had heard that the complaint was filed against Jerry Lairmore for calling Matt Penning a "lieing [expletive]" a few weeks ago at a road department meeting. I told Elmer and Barry that I thought that outburst might have been a flagrant violation of good manners, professionalism and 'The Golden Rule' but that it might not fall under the jurisdiction of The Missouri Ethics Commission. Cletus and Thurston had heard that the ethics complaint was filed against Ron Jost and Jerry Lairmore for voting NOT to bid out the county's tire and tire service business this year. That sounded more credible to me.
I'll have to do some investigating and report back to you later. If anyone out there has the factual information, I hope you will comment. I'm thinking my ol' buddy A. Nonymous probably knows something he'd like to tell all of us about. Perhaps I can get a response from Northern District Associate Commissioner Matt Penning who is rumored to have filed the complaint with the Missouri Ethics Commission.

Sunday Bible Verse - Psalm 23:1-6
Date: 8/22/2010
1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
~ Psalm 23:1-6 (KJV)

Hermann Hearsay Staff Goes To Cardinals Game For Team Building
Date: 8/19/2010
I took the staff down to St. Louis for a Cardinals ballgame on Wednesday. That's why we didn't post anything yesterday.
We had a great day at Busch Stadium. Unfortunately the Cards lost to the Brewers 3-2. The Cards just couldn't give Adam Wainright any run support. They made a 9th inning surge but stranded three runners on the bases when Brendan Ryan struck out fot the final out dashing the hopes of 41,200 loyal fans.
It was a good team building trip. We discussed future plans for Hermann Hearsay.

Vote Recount Denied
Date: 8/17/2010
We have confirmed that the judge's decision has been handed down in the vote recount case, "Larry Miskel v. Ronald Jost". The Honorable Gael D. Wood has denied Miskel's petition for a recount of votes in the Republican Primary of the Gasconade County Presiding Commissioner race.
Jost will now face Jerry Spurgeon, a Democrat challenger, in the November General Election.
Man On The Street Interview - 8/17/2010
Date: 8/17/2010
As of 10:27 a.m. on Tuesday when I last checked, there is still no "disposition" on the recount case, "Larry Miskel v. Ronald Jost" (at least not according to Case.net). Now, my ol' buddy "A. Nonymous" has stopped by to say that there is a ruling, but I haven't been able to confirm that with any "official" source. "A. Nonymous" didn't say where he got his "inside information". I checked Case.net once again at 10:41 a.m. Case still "not disposed" per Case.net. Perhaps "A. Nonymous" can tell us where he/she sources his/her information. Can you help us out "A. Nonymous"?
We wondered what the people of Hermann might be thinking about this case. So we decided to conduct another one of our "Man On The Street Interviews". We caught up with Jethro Bodine, one our Premium Subcribers. Jethro was having a cup of coffee at Hardee's before heading out on the river to do some fishing. Jethro had a little time and was happy to talk with me.
Dick: Thanks for your time, Jethro!
Jethro: No problem!
Dick: I won't keep you long, Jethro. I was just wondering what you think about this vote recount case and when you think the judge will render his decision on it.
Jethro: Well, I'm glad the judge is taking the time to carefully consider the facts of the case inlight of Missouri election law and established case law. He seems like a real thorough judge!
Dick: How do you think the judge will rule?
Jethro: Boy, that's hard to say! I just don't know Missouri election law that well. I think the judge will rule according to the law.
Dick: How do you see it, Jethro?
Jethro: Since the margin of Ron Jost's win is only 16 votes out of the 2788 total votes cast or < 1% of the votes cast for Presiding Commissioner, I think it is reasonable to conduct a manual recount ...... either of partial votes agreed to by the parties or of all votes if the parties cannot agree on a partial vote recount. Either way, Larry Miskel who is contesting the vote will have to pay. No cost to the taxpayers. This being the case, we should manually recount the vote in order to give greater assurance to voters that Jost is really the winner assuming that is borne out by the manual recount. If it turns out that the manual recound shows Miskel to be the winner, then there will no longer be any questions about machine error or loss of votes in any of the precincts. The manual recount will eliminate any further debate or lingering questions on the subject!
Dick: You're saying it's important for voters to have assurance that the right man has won the election fair and square without any lingering doubt?
Jethro: That's what I'm sayin'!
Dick: Well, thank you for your time this morning, Jethro! Good luck with your fishin' today!

Frog or Crocodile?
Frogadile?
Photo sent to us by Jethro Bodine who does a lot of fishing on the Missouri and Gasconade Rivers. Jethro says he's never before seen anything like this! Note: Premium subscriber 'Tator_Tot' had previously sent us a similar photo. Since 'Tator_Tot' is a cat, we were understandably suspicious of a computer literate cat sending in a strange photo of a 'frogadile'.
