Sunday is National Garage Sale Day. Here is a good thing to remember: Getting rid of an old computer without erasing the hard drive can give thieves access to Social Security numbers, bank statements, credit card numbers and other personal information.
You should also erase information on Blackberries and phones before discarding them.

The full story
The continuation of a profile of Red Cross volunteer Kris Krischano of Everett, which began on Page B1, was omitted from Wednesday’s paper. The complete story appears today on Page B3. We apologize for the confusion.
Correction
The band Resurrected Swing performed Wednesday at Comeford Park and the Jim Basnight Band will perform rock and original music at 7 p.m. Friday at Jennings Memorial Park, 6915 Armar Road, in free concerts in Marysville. The names of the bands were incorrect in a story on Page B3 Tuesday.
