HARDWICK – The editorial, “Even Primary Elections are Important” in the August 7 issue incorrectly indicated David Yacovone is an incumbent and failed to mention Saudia Lamont is an incumbent in the Lamoille-Washington House district. Avram Patt is the other incumbent who is not running for reelection.
The sidebar to the front-page story “New Renovated Housing . . .” in the August 7 issue titled “Sweat Equity, Local Contractors and State Programs Restore an Historic Village House,” did not identify that painter Tom Dailey owns Dailey painting, as we were reminded on Facebook when the article was posted there.
Other information received by the author from Erich Stephens resulted in a further rewrite, replacing the second paragraph with the following eight paragraphs:
“Stephens was committed to using local talent in the project. Much of the work was done by people and companies in East Hardwick and Hardwick, with others in nearby towns playing a part in the complex project.
“Initial designs were developed by architect Patrick Kane of East Hardwick, then Ray Boutin of Wolcott did the construction drawings.
“More East Hardwick residents contributed, with Christopher Bright doing carpentry on the project. Richard and Savanna Clark worked on it too.
“Hardwick Engineer Patrick Larson, of Larsen Applied Earth Science designed the septic system, of which Stephens said, “the septic was important to the project happening at all, so Patrick was a key person in the overall success.
“Hardwick residents Jack and Jeremy Kaufmann did the plumbing.
“The excavation was done by Jeffrey Perry of Hardwick’s Brian Perry & Sons Construction.”
“Another Hardwick company, Dailey Painting, did the painting. Their motto is “We like to take run down homes and turn them into beautiful pieces of art.
“Unable to find a local electrician able to work on the project, Stephens brought in David Wyman from nearby Jeffersonville.”
