I'd be happy to be a copy editor or proofreader for the paper, for a small fee...
I'd also have caught the confusing paragraph that surrounds the effect/affect gaffe: "This change does not effect street meters, which stop charging for parking at 6 p.m. Metered spots are free after 8 p.m." I'm guessing that they mean that the metered spots on the streets are free after 6, while the metered spots in the parking lots aren't free until 8, but that's not clear.
