Dr. Lura is spinning in her grave.

There was a front page article in The Paris News yesterday about the grand opening of the "Dr. Laura Gregory Memorial Library" in Roxton. The article repeatedly referred to "Dr. Laura." Just one problem. Her name was "Lura."

The ironic thing is that she was an incredibly precise woman, and she didn't like it when people called her "Laura." She is now spinning in her grave.

Then there was the wedding write-up on page 3C: "The bodice of the gown was complimented with a French lace overlay with the same pearls and beading."

Compliment: to say something nice about. Complement: to complete.

I really don't think I can compliment this Sunday edition of The Paris News.
