Correcting the record

A story in some editions Wednesday on the permitting process for a salmon weir on the East Machias River contained two errors. The cost of the federally funded weir is approximately $420,000, not $4.2 million. The weirs that are already in place on the Pleasant and Dennysville rivers did not require local permits, but did require a permit from the state Department of Environmental Protection.

The July 26 article, “Mainer teams up with Tony the Tiger,” incorrectly stated that Cindy Whitney was the second Mainer to have her picture on a cereal box; she is the third. George Murray’s picture was on a 1984 box of Wheaties. He was the world wheelchair marathon champion and lived in Millinocket.
