Times Standard Guidelines for Letters To The Editor and My Word Opinion Pieces
The Times-Standard will try to accommodate all letters that meet our publishing requirements.
Rule No. 1: Please keep letters to 250 words, or less. That doesn't count a person's name or city, just the body of the letter. Election letters over 250 words will not be published. Period.
Rule No. 2: The letter must include a writer's name, address and phone number. Only a letter writer's name and city are printed. Letter writers may submitted one letter per month for publication. So, if you like more than one candidate, you might want to talk about both of them in the same letter. Local residents are given priority.
Rule No. 3: Do not submit form letters. If a letter is suspected of being a form letter -- what generally happens is a paper is flooded with eerily similar-sounding letters in a short period of time -- it will be placed on hold for examination. Form letters will not be published. We want to hear what you have to say, not the campaign. Trust us, that's a lot more interesting than any form letter could be.
Rule No. 4: Stick to the issues, not name calling.
"My Word" Op-Eds: My Words are limited to 750 words. No exceptions. My Words do not run on Sundays. Specific date requests for publication can't be accommodated.
Due to the volume of letters, it may take a week or so for a letter to be printed. Please be patient if your letter isn't immediately published.
The best way to submit a letter is by e-mail to letters@times-standard.com
Handwritten letters take more time to process because they have to be transcribed.
We also can't tell you exactly when a letter will be printed. It depends on space, the length of other letters, the length of columns, etc. Remember, not all letters will be printed but we'll do our best to get in as many as possible.

Humboldt County’s Republican Central Committee Rolls Up Its Sleeves
Your County Central Committee has a three-part mission: Register more Republican voters, get out the vote, and raise funds to support our candidates.
Of the several dozen Republicans registered at the party’s Redwood Acres Fair and County Fair booths staffed by volunteers, 35.4 percent switched from other parties to Republican, 30.8 percent were new voters, and 33.8 percent were registering changed addresses.
We’re now recruiting volunteers for the get-out-the-vote campaign. Our first job will be two weekend walks door-to-door in selected precincts on October 2 and 30, followed by volunteers staffing telephone banks just before the election in November. A few hours of your time could make the difference for our candidates. To join our get-out-the-vote team, call 442-2259.
As for fund-raising, we have two main sources: the annual Republican of the Year dinner held in in April and our direct mail appeal that has just gone out to close to 1,000 donors in the county.Proceeds will be used to support our candidates.
The county’s Republican headquarters is now open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. staffed by volunteers. Here voters may register and obtain literature about the party and its candidates. By Peter Hannaford, First Vice Chairman

President’s Message - September 2010
While it is a season that sees many of those aspiring to office throwing their hats in the ring, we think that it is probably a great time to have a little fun with a Hat Wearing Contest at our general meeting Thursday, September 16. We are hit daily with bad news from Sacramento, bad news from Washington, and bad news from places far and near (some unpronounceable and some tiresome because they stay so persistently on the wrong side of something or whatever). It seems like a good time to decide we will just have fun with something for the sake of fun. Fun prizes will be offered for: the most becoming hat, the ugliest hat, the best sunshade, and the most unusual hat. Both men and women many enter. The opinion of the judges is final and, no matter how much you may disagree, no one will care. Please participate. Unless you have a job interview as a fashion model immediately after the meeting, your hairstyle will survive a bout with a hat after you give it a little tweaking--so please add to the fun and put on a derby, a sombrero, a coon skin hat, or whatever you think up. I plan to prove myself a woman who wears more than one hat.
The Republican Picnic was a happy day. Rohner Park was a great facility and thanks to outstanding volunteer help, the event went off very well. Candidates were with us: Lawrence Weisner, candidate for First District State Senate; Loren Hanks, candidate for First District House of Representatives,; Karen Brooks, candidate for First District State Assembly; Sue Long, candidate for the Fortuna City Council; and Virginia Bass, candidate for First District County Board of Supervisors.
October is going to be another of our Republican Women fundraiser buffets. We will again fill the tables at the Moose Lodge for our general meeting. That’s Thursday, October 21, so please mark your calendar and save that day for HRWF---if your doctor, dentist, lawyer, accountant, or whoever wants to see you at that time, just bring them to lunch with you---they could do dessert first, if that’s their preference.
