Correction story has a moral to it On Tuesday the Insider’s light-fingered editor blew the correct website address for a map of Clark County’s designated North Clark County Scenic Drive. The correct address is http://www.clark.wa.gov/NScenicDrive.pdf. The wrong address for the map was listed as http://www.pdxinfo.net/. But, we are glad we brought that up, because http://www.pdxinfo.net/ is one of the most important links in the Insider. The site belongs to Craig Walker’s Flash News The moral to this story is that readers who go to the Flash News link—it usually follows the day’s headline links—are taken to Walker’s Flash News website, where most of the region’s relevant breaking raw news releases, as well as archival news, can be found. Readers will find police and county sheriff reports at that site. It is a real treasure of regional news, since it includes Portland and most of northern Oregon news, too. Click on http://www.pdxinfo.net/, then click on news releases on the title bar, to see what we mean.
