Correcting the record

In the April 21 “Perspective 2001” advertising supplement, the name of Cary Medical Center in Caribou was misspelled in the headline on Page DP6. It was an editor’s error.

In the April 19 “Earth Day” advertising supplement, Peter McAvoy of Industrial Metals Recycling was misquoted about Freon disposal. He actually indicated that when improperly released from a discarded appliance, Freon, as a gas, dissipates into the atmosphere, not into the soil.

An article published Wednesday concerning the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge inaccurately stated that 95 percent of ANWR is open for oil development. It is 95 percent of the Arctic North Slope that is open to such oil development. ANWR represents the 5 percent that is not open to development.
