We don't like being last! We don't even like being second place! We want to be #1 in everything we do!
That's why I pulled our staff together yesterday to discuss our coverage of recent winter storms and especially this past week's blizzard. Another online "news" outfit has layed claim to the title of "Snow Central" ..... and ya know what? Maybe they are right! Maybe we didn't put forth enough effort to claim that mantle! Afterall, we didn't recommend the best snow route to Berger, we didn't cover school closings with a posting for each and every school in the area, and we didn't organize a cadre of young snow shovelers and then dispatch them as a public service to clean the driveways and walkways of the elderly. In too many ways, we were remiss in our duty to cover our recent snow events.
However, we have now taken stock of our shortcomings. We have discussed all the things we could have done .... and should have done. We have searched our souls and resolved to do better in the future.
My staff members and I have resolved that we want to become known as "Spring Thaw Central" here at Hermann Hearsay. In the pursuit of that lofty objective, we have put together a comprehensive
action plan. We have decided to split up responsibilities as follows;
Jimmy Oldsun - Announcements, shameless self-promotion and overall coordination of the program.
Lois Lame - Organizing and dispatching young people to wash the cinders and salt off the vehicles of Hermann's senior citizens.
Dick Schaefer - Organizing and dispatching unemployed volunteers to sweep and wash the driveways and walkways of Hermann's senior citizens. What is Southern District Associate Commissioner Jerry Lairmore doing for our unemployed?!
Frank Furter - Weather reporting, flood patrol, high-water reporting and road advisories (including an advisory on the safest route to Berger during heavy flood conditions).
Clark Kant - Special reports regarding the availability of bird feeders, garden tools, spring flowers, lawn fertilizers and lawn mowers at Hermann's stores.
Hermann Hearsay is indeed "Spring Thaw Central"!
