Credit where due, to the local paper, which atones for its rough headline about an area student with this:

CHEERS: to Leo Lee, the precocious 11-year-old speller from Plattsburgh who almost made it into the semi-finals of the Scripps National Spelling Bee last week, making the entire North Country proud.

And a follow-up. I did some roughing up of my own regarding Sen. Betty Little a while back, thinking she was positioning herself for a run at the 20th Congressional seat. Obviously, she isn't. My bad.
