I've always loved the sound of Pete Fountain's clarinet. I was privileged to hear Pete Fountain up close and personal in his night club in the New Orleans French Quarter in late May of 1974. Here, for your listening enjoyment, is Pete Fountain playing "A Closer Walk With Thee" .....

"The Madman", a frequent visitor to this site, commented recently on the Gasconade County audits which are rife with glaring deficiencies .....
"As to the Audit... Cry some more. Ok, some minor boob ups happened. NOTHING I see shows anything dark and sinister, like you keep looking for, I see a few procedural errors. WOW!" ~ Madman
You just gotta wonder why "The Madman" is so tolerant of gross incompetence and blatant arrogance in county goverment? Is he perhaps related to someone in our county government? Or does he just have a "blind eye" when it comes to Republican "screw-ups", perhaps because of his close association with the Gasconade County Pachyderms and the Gasconade County Republicans? Makes ya wonder! Doesn't it?!

He replied, ‘I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even what they have will be taken away.’ – Luke 19:26-27
This is a jarring parable. It seems that Jesus is teaching that God is not as concerned about how many resources that we have as much as how well we use those resources. We are tempted to think, “If I only had more money.” or ” All I need are more opportunities.” But this parable tells us that God has already given us resources. What are we doing with them? When God is in the picture, all Moses needed was a staff to deliver the Jewish people from bondage. What has God already put in your hand? How can you use your talent in such a way that our heavenly Father will be able entrust you with more?

There really were some pink cows out on that road! I couldn't get a good photo of them in the dark. This photo was the best I could do!"
ORIGINAL REPORT - There is an unconfirmed report of three pink cows loose on Highway 100 near the turnoff to the Tim Puchta Winery.

Who and what are the citizens of Gasconade County to believe?
Published by Clark Kant, Contributing Writer and Investigative Reporter
Date: 11/18/2010
Post: 1,113
Who and what are we, the citizens of Gasconade County, to believe? On one hand we have Julie A. Allen, Executive Director of the Missouri Ethics Commission (MEC) saying that insufficient evidence to support the "conflict of interest" complaint against Gasconade County Presiding Commissioner Ron Jost has been produced by complainant Northern District Associate Commissioner Matt Penning. And yet on the other hand, the CPA firm contracted by Missouri State Auditor Susan Montee to audit Gasconade County, Casey-Beard-Boehmer PC, Certified Public Accountants, has concluded that the Presiding Commissioner has had a "conflict of interest" with respect to the purchasing of tires and tire services during the period of time audited (January 1, 2008 thru December 31, 2009).
If you would like to read the letter sent to Presiding Commissioner Jost by MEC Executive Director Allen which "dismisses" the conflict of interest case alleged against him, just click on the following link: http://mec.mo.gov/Scanned/CaseDocsPDF/1314.pdf .
In the "SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND RESPONSES" of their audit report to Gasconade County officeholders, Casey-Beard-Boehmer PC, Certified Public Accountants made the following statements:
09-03 Conflicts of Interest
Condition: The Presiding Commissioner approved receiving reports for the receipt of tires and
initialed invoices for the purchase of tires from a vendor that is also a related party. The Presiding Commissioner did abstain from voting on the bids for the purchase of tires by the county.
Criteria: All county transactions should be conducted independently to avoid any conflicts of interest.
Cause: Tires do not appear to be received by an independent county employee.
Effect: County expenditures have been paid without proper approval from an unrelated party, which could lead to a potential misuse of county assets.
Recommendation: The County Commission should implement policies and procedures to avoid conflicts of interest situations.
Response: The Presiding Commissioner agreed to no longer approve receipt of tires or initial invoices
for tire purchases from a vendor that is a related party.
If you would like to examine the entire audit report recently posted on the Missouri State Auditor's website, just click on the following link: http://www.auditor.mo.gov/press/2010-137.pdf .
So, what the devil are we, the citizens of Gasconade County, to conclude from all of this? Sometimes BIG government just can't resolve anything! The more that simple problems are investigated by government bureaucrats, the more complicated, confused and inconclusive things seem to become!

So, what the devil are we, the citizens of Gasconade County, to conclude from all of this? Sometimes BIG government just can't resolve anything! The more that simple problems are investigated by government bureaucrats, the more complicated, confused and inconclusive things seem to become!

Bible Verse Of The Day - Thursday, 11/18/2010
Published by Lois Lame, SSALRCYTMVDQJCP & Assistant Editor

Post: 1,107
But Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” – Luke 18:16-17
The brilliance of the gospel shines forth again. When we look at belonging to God the criteria is not intellect or charisma. It is the simplicity of a childlike posture. Young children trust and obey their parents. To have knowledge is good, but there are times when knowledge gets in the way and puffs up into pride. Charisma is a powerful trait, but the charismatic person can be easily deceived with an image of himself or herself that is not accurate. To approach God as a child cuts through the traps of competence. It places our trust ultimately in our Father and not ourselves.
