The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

I last week's paper, we made a mistake that was more than misquito-sized. Or should I say mosquito-sized. Even though it was Dena Wood's article, that one's on me - I'm the headline guy, as well as the editor, and I didn't do either of those jobs justice in that case.

I can honestly say that "mosquito" is one of those words that I don't write often enough to have fixed in my brain. (Although it is now.) That's especially true when press time is looming and I'm in a hurry.

Speaking of "write," we made an unfortunate error in a campaign ad for a "wright in" candidate - better known as "write-in candidate" - for Columbia County Commissioner, Dwight Richter. Our apologies for that. At least he got some free publicity here.
