Why would you want to confuse the Old York Times with the facts??

This seals it--my belief in anything those clowns print is shattered.

I wish they'd send their travel writers to Portland, Jamaica and leave us alone. Maybe if the Paleys got a place there...

I didn't know there was a Portland in Jamaica. From Wikipedia:

"On October 28, 2006, he was murdered at a church in Norwich, Jamaica by an assailant wielding a 2 inch thick steel pipe. He suffered multiple blows to the head which resulted in him dying at the scene of the attack.

Police have arrested 2 men (one of the men arrested and charged is Berbick's 20-year-old nephew in connection with the death, and were interrogating him at the Port Antonio police station in Portland as of early in the morning of October 29. Local residents have indicated that the suspect was involved in a land dispute with Berbick. On November 3 it was reported that Berbick's nephew, 20-year-old Harold Berbick, and an unidentified 18-year-old man had been charged with his murder by Jamaican police. On December 20, 2007 Harold Berbick was found guilty of the murder of his uncle. His alleged accomplice, Kenton Gordon, was found guilty of manslaughter. Both will be sentenced on January 11, 2008."

The Times likely included the "Ore." so that its readers wouldn't assume that the homicide happened in Portland, Maine.

The Times admits error; today the link shows this:
Correction: December 27, 2007

Because of an editing error, a sports article by The Associated Press on Saturday about convictions in the October 2006 killing of the former heavyweight boxing champion Trevor Berbick misidentified the location where his body was found. It was in the parish of Portland, Jamaica — not in Portland, Ore. (The article carried a dateline of Kingston, Jamaica.)
