A story that ran on August 23 titled “Flaming Cat Saved From Tree” incorrectly reported that the cat rescued had been on fire at the time of saving. In fact, there was no fire associated with the rescue, though the fire department was involved. Also, it was not a cat that was rescued, it was Mr. Michael Aiken of Carrollton. Mr. Aiken was not rescued from a tree, he was saved from choking.

Due to a printing error, a September 2 story titled “A New Ice Cream Stand On The Block” incorrectly described Mr. Harris Lowes as “undateable.”

*

There were several incorrectly reported quotes in an October 18 story titled “Councilman Blake Criticizes Procedure.” Councilman Randall Blake did not state “we deserve so much butter.” He said “we deserve so much better.” Councilman Blake also never stated “I am Hitler incarnate, but fatter.” He said “I am sorry I’m irate, but this matters.” The story also incorrectly described Councilman Bob Tucker as “smoking a bong” at the meeting. Councilman Tucker was using an inhaler.

*

A November 11 story titled “Carrsville Senior Charlotte McGinty Pursues Dream, Majors in Theater” incorrectly spelled the subject’s name. Her name is Florence Peterson. Ms. Peterson is also not pursuing a degree in theater, as stated in the article; she is planning to major in Biochemistry. She is not interested in theater. Carrsville High School Drama Coach Patty Taylor should also not have been described as “butch.”

*

A December 30 story titled “Actor Bill Murry Arrested For Larceny” incorrectly implied that the suspect arrested was the comedic film actor, Bill Murray. The suspect is in no way related to or affiliated with the actor. The suspect’s name was also spelled incorrectly in the article. His name is Kyle Epstein. The article also incorrectly stated that Lt. Mark Thompson “had a tear in his eye” as he made the arrest. Lt. Thompson did not have a tear in his eye. Mr. Harris Lowes should once again not have been described as “undateable.”
