This is a pretty low moment for me. Our cops reporter handed me the Tri-City Voice, and there it was on the bottom of Page 1, “Lorenz announces candidacy for Fremont City Council.” Of course, next to the little story is a big picture of Planning Commissioner Dirk Lorenz inside his van with the name and phone number of his business prominently displayed. How convenient.

The TCV also scooped me on a children’s pie-eating contest and a tug-of-war competition.

My bad. I should have been first on Dirk. I know his city of residence has been an issue on this blog. I will get around to following up on that.
