VOTE FOR LIBRARIES

 

Libraries are needed and wanted. They are

porn-free, modern, and connected to the world,

and now much more affordable due to the generosity  of local philanthropists.

Insider error costs Carol Keljo
money but the cause is good

The Insider does not often report why it makes mistakes, laying all the blame on the editor where it belongs, but in this case it is worth mentioning in an effort to correct future miscues that result from the Internet.

What happened was that we looked up Carol Keljo on the Internet and got all sorts of interesting information, including the fact that she was a member of the Greater Clark County Rotary Club. Indeed she had been. She is a founding and current member of the Camas-Washougal Rotary Club, though.

Our misinformation came to light when we did a piece yesterday about Keljo having been elected chair of the Greater Vancouver Chamber of Commerce.

Google, it should be noted, contains an extraordinary amount of information about almost anyone who has been in the news. We are noting here, that all the information is not necessarily correct or up-to-date.

As is tradition with Rotary Clubs, Keljo was fined for having her name in the Insider. She now faces a second fine for her name having been in this correction.
