Paragraph provided bemusement for reader

Studious reader catches editing error in story in Free Press

To the editor:

Maybe it’s the “sulphur” in the air out here at Sulphurous Lake.

But in the story on Mr. Van Osch’s step-aside as school board chair, headlined Van Osch resigns as SD 27 chair, on the front page of the July 31 Free Press, there was this bit of bemusement: “In September 2014, the October municipal elections begin.”

For the nearly 25 years we have cabined here, we have always appreciated the slower pace the Cariboo champions.

But a one-month running head start to get to the polling booths…? Or is it the case here for folks to “Vote early, vote often?”
