S/R Sloppy Reporting

A few years ago I wrote about the Bayview mail boat. That was two contractors ago. The Sunday paper had a great piece as a follow up to my story in the Handle Extra. Unfortunately, who ever writes the captions erred on at least three and possibly four pictures.

First and most egregious, was naming Jim Kirkelie as having received his mail in Bayview. That pic is not of Bayview.

Several references were made saying Wes Jones delivers in Bayview. He does not. He picks up the mail in Bayview and delivers to residents lining the east side of Lake Pend Oreille.

Wes does not create a huge wake in Bayview,  as stated. Scenic Bay is a no wake zone. One that Jones respects.

Whether the reporter, Nathanael Massey, the photographer, or the editors made these sloppy captions, somebody needs to learn about accuracy.

Other than the errors in mislabeling  pictures, the story was first rate, as is the subject, Wes Jones who does an excellent job in serving the community's in the lake's south end.
