    Jim Hoffman, convicted child molestor!!!!

    Oh, and the ME at the time tried to bury this story inside on the day he was charged. He had a meeting with Hoffman's attorney.

    That pretty much says it all. Last ME got a DUI and was later fired.

    And TSP, from what I've been told, that practice continued for quite a while. Not sure of they still do it or not.

    They still do it. I think the publisher's previous job was as a used car salesmen. Or maybe it was fry cook at Wendy's. I can't remember.

    Oh he was something. He also had a reporter and photog got to Put-in Bay for a story, and to go to a specific hotel for an interview and pictures.

    When questioned, he said it's because the hotel guy gave him a free room, so he would make sure he got coverage. There are a million stories.

    Westerhold is just the guy who published the name and address of everyone in the Register coverage area with a conceal-carry permit.

    Yeah, he flamed out at a paper in Indiana before settling at back in one of Ohio's most luxurious cities. Ethics were not his strong suit.

    And an FYI on the current ME. The Register had been doing stories for years on the horrible conditions at the David-Besse nuclear power plant near Oak Harbor. Well, Westerhold took Cleveland Indians game tickets from CEO (or another higher up) from Davis-Besse. He claimed they were going to talk "business." That is the situation you'd be going to folks.

    Notice I said the word "might." It was just a little background about the working conditions at the paper. Nothing more.

    It seems this job is posted on JournalismJobs on a regular basis. Bad karma for sure.
