Shore Throat News June 7th
TODAYS WEATHER

BUSINESS NEWS
Unemployment numbers are down in Canker Shores, due largely to the sudden rise in demand for rare Coelaacanth fish which was recently discovered in large numbers feeding just a 1/4 mile off shore from the tiny tourist town. The ancient Coelaacanth was previously thought to be extinct. The demand for canned, and fresh Coelaacanth has given new life to the clumping local economy and processing plants have been hiring at an increasing rate since early in the second quarter. This has been both a blessing and a curse to the town. The prevailing winds are generally out of the southwest and the recent increase in processing activities and subsequent waste by-products, have brought a new pungency to the normally refreshing sea breezes floating into town. If the current demand for Coelaacanth continues forecasters predict a poor year for local tourism.
