Correcting the record

A Monson man wanted for threatening an Abbot woman with a firearm originally was charged with kidnapping his former girlfriend, but the charge was dismissed through a plea arrangement. Instead, Robert Elliott Burton was sentenced for tampering with a victim and violation of condition of release. A story in some editions of Tuesday’s Maine Day was incorrect.

Clarification

A front-page story in Tuesday’s paper concerning proposed changes in Eastern Maine Medical Center staff bylaws carried a headline that was misleading. The bylaw changes must first be voted on by the medical staff. The EMMC trustees then must approve the changes, but the new bylaws govern medical staff only, and do not become part of the administration’s operating rules.
