Swimming pools to barbecue, St. Mary's to a methadone clinic, and two phone scams.

The print copy of today's New Albany Tribune has an Alice in Wonderland quality, in that stories beginning on page one are not completed on page four, and stories completed on page four are not located on page one. It appears that Tribune readers got the Jeffersonville Evening News fourth page.

At least today the newspaper was readable, if unsynchronized. For the third time in roughly three weeks yesterday, the newspaper was doused by rainwater, as apparently our most recent carrier hasn't yet been instructed in the use of plastic bags. I merely point this out, knowing how difficult it must be to find carriers these days.

Meanwhile, a reader has strident words for the council in this letter (scroll down). The topic? NA's vetoed smoking ban, and why the council should reintroduce it.

Do we really need to devote another summer to a divisive issue that ranks well below so many others in importance?

That's odd--my page 1 and page 4 are fine in the issue I received.

Mine's cooked.

One reason I elected to publish this was to see if anyone else had the same problem.

Might it have been corrected during the run?

Mine was mixed up too.

For what it's worth, according to a postal friend, the USPS is going to start delivering the Tribune in July. That should be interesting, too.

That makes 2-2, with no discernable pattern.

Maybe the printer was using the random page generator today.

The one I read was mixed up also.

I apologize for the jump page mixup. As for wet papers, please e-mail the street address and we'll take that up with the carrier. It's unacceptable service.

mine, too.

Wonder how the Tribune is going to correct this?

SteveK said...

Not all Tribune's delivered on Sunday were incorrect. However, we will be republishing the complete stories in the Tuesday edition.
