Correcting the record

A story on Page B5 of Monday’s paper about a Massachusetts man who died during a rafting trip on the Penobscot River should have said that fellow rafters and guides on the trip performed CPR on the victim. State wardens performed other duties to assist him.

A caption under a photograph on Page A4 of the May 22 edition that accompanied a story on land leases for camps in the area of the East Branch of the Penobscot River needs clarification, according to Dennis Ballard, who was pictured in the photo. Ballard said he and co-owners, as well as family and friends, built the camp 40 years ago.

A story on Page A5 of Thursday’s paper should have stated that the review unit for the Department of Health and Human Services has recommended that the commissioner deny Eastern Maine Medical Center’s Certificate of Need to expand its inpatient care space. This is the initial finding and EMMC has until June 11 to issue its response and provide more information before the committee and commissioner make the final decision.
