Correcting the record

Wednesday’s Page One story on the bidding for the state’s Dirigo insurance plan contained an error. The name “CareWorks” was initially chosen for the plan, but because it is also the name of a company in another state, Gov. John Baldacci’s Office of Health Care Policy and Finance said several weeks ago it would be amended to Dirigo Health CareWorks or DHCareWorks. But Trish Riley, director of the governor’s health care office, said Wednesday that the name CareWorks has been discarded altogether. A new name has yet to be chosen.

An item published Wednesday in Joni Averill’s column about a Milo Historical Society Spring Appraisal Fair was last year’s information. The incorrect information was provided to the columnist. This year’s event has taken place already. There is no fair this weekend.

An item in Ardeana Hamlin’s column on Page C3 in Tuesday’s editions contained an error. The crochet rag-rug workshop on June 1 and 3 at 2409 Broadway in Bangor costs $18, not the amount previously mentioned.
