A. E. Newman Celebrates 50th Birthday

A. E. Newman
What, me worry?

Hermann Hearsay's very first subscriber is A. E. Newman of Bland, MO.  Mr. Newman is celebrating his 40th birthday today!  I hope our readers will join me in wishing Alfred a very happy birthday!  Though now 40, Alfred doesn't look a day over 16!  Newman says he attributes his youthful looks to healthy living and "not worrying".

It's Gasconade County Commission Thursday! What pray tell will happen today?!

Published by Dick Schaefer, Award-winning, Unpaid, Part-time Contributing Writer and Untrained Amateur Investigative Reporter

Date:  8/26/2010

It's that day of the week once again!  The day that we all look forward to with great anticipation!  It's Gasconade County Commission Thursday!

What will happen this morning in the road department meeting at Drake or the commission meeting at the courthouse?  There's been a lot of speculation down at the coffee shop this morning!

• Will one of the commissioners be called a "lieing [expletive]", a "dirty [expletive]" or a "maggot-infested [expletive]" this morning?  The boys at the coffee shop are taking bets. 
• Will a concerned citizen's comments be tape-recorded and played back again on one of our local online "news" websites?  Has Mike Jacquin spent any more of his personal money to have county documents copied?
• Will Commissioner Lairmore once again tell us all how much he supports the GCCS and wants to work with GCCS President Dale Ridder to get started with the courthouse preservation and restoration project?
• Will Presiding Commissioner Jost get red-faced and arbitrarily eject another senior citizen from the commission meeting?
• Will more documents be requested of Clerk Lietzow by Commissioner Penning?
• Will Commissioners Jost and Lairmore approve payment by the county to their personal attorneys for legal fees incurred during their defense in the now-famous salary overpayment lawsuit?

What political drama!  What suspense! 

I won't be attending the meeting(s) this morning.  It seems that people who attend the meeting frequently become the "story" instead of the official business of the commission being the "story".  Some have their comments recorded and published alone "out-of-context" with no background explanation.  Some have their photos taken during the meeting and are then called "gangsta rappers" the hatchetmen of the local media.  Some are just summarily "ejected" from the meeting by Presiding Commissioner Jost.  Instead of attending the meeting(s), I plan to watch the commission meeting on Hermann TV in the comfort of my home.  That way I can eat popcorn, drink Diet Coke and burp should it become necessary.

1 Peter 3:15-16 – Always be prepared to give an answer


"But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander."  ~ 1 Peter 3:15-16

Hermann Hearsay Reaches Milestone

Date:  8/26/2010

Yesterday, Wednesday, 8/25/2010, Hermann Hearsay reached a milestone of 600 posts.  Thanks for your support and encouragement during the past year!  We could not have accomplished this milestone without you!

Our format has changed quite a bit during our first year.  You have given us your input, and we have listened.

Today we are making another change in our format by adding a Daily Bible Verse.  Our new format will now be as follows:

1. Bible Verse of the Day
2. Quote of the Day
3. Laugh of the Day
4. Photo of the Day
5. Song of the Day
6. News or Hearsay Report of the Day
7. Editorial Comment/Opinion of the Day
8. Gasconade County Historical Article (weekly)
9. HH Business Update (as appropriate)
10. HH Performance Metrics
11. Local Advertising

Sundays will continue to be our "day of rest".  On Sundays we will post only a Bible Verse and a Willie Nelson Song. 

I'm sure we will make further changes to our format in the future as you provide us your continuing input.  Again, thanks for your loyal support!
