Correcting the record

A story on Page B1 of Monday’s paper gave incorrect dates for next year’s Wild Blueberry Festival in Machias. The next Wild Blueberry Festival in Machias will be held Aug. 14-16, 2009.

A story in Monday’s paper about a combined blood and voter registration drive planned by the American Red Cross in Bangor incorrectly stated that the event would be held next week. The event will take place this week, Wednesday, Aug. 20.

A story on Page 1 of Saturday’s paper about mail processing indicated that a U.S. Postal Service plant in Hampden was newer and more state-of-the-art. In fact, the plant in the southern Maine community of Scarborough is the newer and more technologically advanced facility.

A story on Page 1 of the Aug. 14 paper about Section 8 housing incorrectly reported that apartment rentals must include heat and utilities in order for the renter to receive assistance. To receive the full value of a Section 8 voucher holders must find apartments that have heat and utilities included. If holders are unable to find an apartment that includes heat and electricity, the value of the voucher is reduced but holders are still able to use it.
