Show THE SAN JUAN RECORD Wednesday June 19, 1996 Page 20 Lets face it, (with all due respect), there are some people who are chuckling over the fact that Kim is a bishop anyway! That mistake Each year the Utah Press Association gives an award no newspaper really wants: of the Year" the Goof-uaward, recognizing the years greatest blooper. Time constraints, space limitations, and sheer misunderstanding of material contributes to mistakes. Despite best effort, it comes down to the too familiar element of human err, either in writing, proof reading, or pasting up. In relation to this, I would suppose the phrase water under the bridge has more application to the newspap per business than about anywhere else. And a river rat like Frank Wright can appreciate what Im saying. Last week, the San Juan Record ran photos taken from a roll of film shot by Franks son, Otis. Not knowing Frank, the staff was looking for a picture of an man which they thought they could properly identify as Frank. Those who know Frank know he wasn't in the picture, despite the caption. If for no other reason, they realize Frank doesnt wear printed with socially questionable epitaphs. Unfortunately, thats not the only mistake, and Frank I isn't the only victim. I because call received a wrote Kim Acton is the new bishop of the Blanding Third LDS Ward. I hope those in the third ward and in Bishop Actons sixth ward, had a brief moment of envisioning the possibility and then being able to chuckle about it. ld isnt going to take any awards, and neither will the typo on Sunny and Jerry Mitchells baby, whom I inadvertently identified as being 29 inches long, rather than the correct 19. Mitchells may get a call from the Guiness Book of World Records because of that one. It wasn't a mistake in the same sense, but I still feel bad about not doing a story about this years Farm Farm Bureau-sponsore- d City Festival". There were so many outstanding volunteers and wonderful activities connected with it, it deserved full page coverage, but extenuating circum- stances prevented that from happening. Editor Bill Boyle often expresses frustration at not being able to cover every event the way he would like to. And then, time wise, it becomes water under the bridge. So who was in the picture?" I asked Frank, wanting to find out where wed gone wrong. Strangers, he answered, ment of humor that helps soften the mistake. It usually takes a little time before we can appreciate the humor. But one thing is for sure the only way to keep from making mistakes is to keep from trying. And if we do that, then we have made a mistake indeed. - Monticello library sponsors readers This summer, the Monticello branch of the San Juan County Library will host a summer reading program for kids from kindergarten age through the seventh grade.

TO BE THE MOST SENSATIONAL I have to wonder if somehow they already knew their picture was being captured for a bad joke in the making. And then, despite the fact we feel really bad about having goofed up on Franks marvelous story, I had to laugh. As I raise my children, I 28-YE- LECDOE!I...DS GOOMG... Total strangers.
