Rolke: Proofread! Proofread!

The Morning Star's writer Richard Rolke penned the story "climate change response questioned", published September 18th.

The first paragraph states "There are calls for local communities to fight climate change head on, but a Vernon politician is frustrated with that approach."

The story goes on to say "We need co-operation and investment from senior levels of government," Juliette Cunningham, Vernon councillor said.

Here's where Rolke muddied the waters, with another quote by Cunningham:

"We have to allow recreation to co-exist within watersheds.
Recreation should be No. 1 and recreation way down there," she said.

Huh?
Read that line again.

Perhaps she meant "...Water quality should be No. 1 and recreation way down there."

"It's a dying art," says Kia.

Obviously.
Wonder if readership will twig on that it was incorrect.

That's all we need...more people believing RECREATION should be number one.
As though they don't already!

Hope the mud-boggers are paying attention...
