Corrections

A story in last week’s issue, “4-H Speech Contest held in Wakulla” misidentified the youth in the accompanying photo, it was Daniel Class, not Jace Perez.
Additionally, the story should have noted that the cash prizes for winners were memorial scholarships in honor of Aimee Sachs.
We regret the errors.
