A NEWS report on the front of Friday’s Maine Day section about problems with reported roof leaks at the Margaret Chase Smith federal building contained errors. A 25-by-18-foot area near the judge’s bench in the main courtroom was soaked with water. A 20-by-18-foot area in the hall near the third-floor elevator was soaked with water, as was a small spot near the entrance of the magistrate judge’s office on the third floor. A problem Friday night, Sept. 21, that resulted in the Bangor Fire Department being called to the third floor at the building probably resulted from several fans that were blowing to dry the wet floor areas, causing a transformer to smoke in the electrical room. The flickering of lights in the main courtroom on Sept. 25 probably was caused by generator testing going on that day. Two buckets were placed in the main floor courtroom Wednesday, Sept. 26.

A story in Wednesday’s Hancock/Midcoast edition about composer Thomas Lanese of Surry and Anneville, Pa., donating all of his music compositions to the Bagaduce Music Lending Library stated that Lanese often traveled to Maine to visit his father-in-law, Claude Monteux. In fact his father-in-law was Pierre Monteux.
