A short conceptual art piece involving the non-racially motivated Bald Knobbers of southern Missouri/northern Arkansas of the 1880s, as the patrolman watches out for would-be spies at one of their hilltop meetings. Note that the costuming is a non-historical blend of both the Taney County Bald Knobbers chapter (white flour sack hoods) with the Christian chapter (tasseled, striped horns on a normally black muslin hood). Music by the Synthetic Dream Foundation, from the album "Quench" (2002).

An architect and son of a bricklayer, Kevin Elmer attributes his fiscally conservative platform to his working-class Missouri roots. "People in my district understand what it takes to build a savings account or a farm or business brick-by-brick. And they're worried about the government taking that away." "It's my passion to remember that each tax dollar was paid by a hardworking individual," Elmer adds. "I want to approach issues in our state government with the fresh enthusiasm of a political outsider." His approach to serving the interests of the 141st district, which includes western Christian County, northern Stone County and a portion of eastern Lawrence county, includes identifying needs that exist in the district and state, solving problems with a tireless commitment to making things better, and being an advocate for the 141st district in Jefferson City.
