Correction
In the Dec. 27 edition of The Star-Herald it was mistakenly reported in the story “Local rider seeks Habitat donations” on page 9 that Erin Bougie is from Stockholm. She is from New Sweden.
The contact phone number for Bougie was also listed incorrectly. To contact her for more information on sponsoring her trip call her at 896-3049 or 227-7172.
