*An obituary of Chicago architect John A. Holabird Jr. on Wednesday incorrectly stated that Holabird & Root is Chicago’s oldest architectural firm. The firm of Jensen & Halstead Ltd., established under another name in 1868, is the city’s oldest continuously operating firm, according to architectural historians.
*A Chicagoland story Wednesday about opposition to Chicago Public Schools closings erred in saying the mayor’s initiative would create 100 new schools and put them under private control. So far, 51 of the 75 schools created are under private control.
*A Chicagoland story Wednesday about a Willow Creek pastor’s resignation for “sexual impurity” omitted the word “not” in a reference to church reaction. The phrase should have said that the church would not specify what the phrase means.
*In Sunday’s House & Homes section, a story about things you should know before buying a dishwasher quoted a longtime appliance salesman on the amount of water a dishwasher uses per cycle. Washers on the market today, however, use far less water than was cited. According to the latest industry reports, Energy Star-qualified dishwashers use 4 gallons per cycle compared with 6 gallons per cycle used by the average non-qualified dishwasher.
