Corrections

* URS Corp. of Seattle conducted a scientific review for the city of Lake Stevens to help determine distances from lakes, streams and wetlands in which construction should be allowed. A story on Page B1 in The Herald on Monday attributed the study to the wrong company.

* “A Day of Poetry,” a free teen poetry workshop, will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. today in the Everett Public Library auditorium, 2702 Hoyt Ave. Organized by Everett High School senior Alexis Arrabito and presented by Youth Speaks Seattle, it will be followed by a poetry performance at 6 p.m. today at Everett’s American Legion Memorial Park. Julie Muhlstein’s column on Page B1 Wednesday had a wrong date for the event.

* To volunteer with the Civil Air Patrol, call 360-951-4030. An incorrect phone number was included in a story on the Civil Air Patrol that appeared on Page B1 Wednesday.
