Correcting the record

A headline in Tuesday’s city edition erroneously suggested that the Bangor City Council on Monday night formally rejected an appeal of its 1998 decision that would force Diva’s exotic dance club to relocate or close. No formal vote was taken during the meeting, and although councilors after the meeting said a reversal was unlikely, the matter could still be presented for consideration at a future meeting.

A story on the Style page in Monday’s paper included a quotation that stated Katie Vashon was the first student north of Portland to be elected governor of Key Clubs in New England. Two students from Greenville, Neil Jamison and Kendall Walden, held the same position in the late 1970s and early 1980s, according to Doug Hollingsworth of Bangor.

An April 20 story about growth in the Unorganized Territories should have said the cost of services in such areas are borne by all the taxpayers in the Unorganized Territories, not all the state’s taxpayers. In addition, some towns and plantations overseen by the Land Use Regulation Commission are organized entities not part of the state’s 10 million acre Unorganized Territories.
