Shipping News
With this issue, the Journal is devastated to say goodbye to Emily Hobelmann, who has served as our calendar editor, weed correspondent, rapper’s moll and stalker of Times-Standard reporters for over two years. We lost out to the University of Hawaii, which outbid our Snoop Dogg comp tickets by offering the omni-talented Hobelmann a Ph.D candidacy in mathematics. Our readers will suffer, but we will suffer more: Emily’s daily reports from the frontlines of her adventurous and improbable life were one of the few reasons to look forward to coming to this dark, dismal office.
Fear not. Whiz kid Andrew Goff, he of “Seven-O-Heaven” fame, is taking over Hobelmann’s duties. Look forward to new cartoons featuring people staring into computers and talking on telephones for eight hours a day.

Wow! Here we go again! District 3 is going to be an exciting race but wait… District 4 is starting to heat up.
We hear news of a possible spoiler for district 4? Well get your big guns out this is going to be good. Could there be a spoiler to the spoiler? Stay tuned we will find there are more people who want that seat then the two possibly three that we might hear about. It only takes one person to change that out come of an election. Look for it in August by the dead line.
Don’t forget your history surrounding these elections. Some former players maybe out for revenge? This is going to be good. The real news here is how much money will these people raise for their election, $25,000.00, 35,000.00 maybe more? I forget does this job pay anything?
You had better believe that there are a whole lot of special little groups with a whole lot of money both pro and con. We sincerely hope they do not violate any local rules for contributions from outside sources.
Thank you for your article, keep digging this one is going to go hot soon. You think there was mud slinging last election look out it’s going to get mean real quick. This time around everyone has a target on their back that says dig up dirt here.

Don’t want no job producing port in Eureka, it would cut into beer drinking and getting stoned all the time. Why that would be insane!
