CORRECTIONS

ILLUSTRATION: Graphic

A story and headline in Thursday's Metro News section erred in

saying that Suffolk is the only city in the region to offer free

ambulance service. Virginia Beach does not charge for ambulance

service, which is provided by volunteer emergency medical service

squads.

A Metro News story Thursday incorrectly identified a candidate

for the Republican nomination in the 7th District state Senate race.

The candidate's correct name is Walter ``Wally'' Erb.

WTKR-TV was tied with WVEC-TV for first place in overall ratings

among Hampton Roads TV stations during the most recent Nielsen

ratings period. A story in Thursday's Business News section about

Christopher Pike, WTKR's general manager, contained outdated ratings

information.

Of the 57 government witnesses in a Norfolk federal drug trial

that ended Wednesday, 21 are serving jail terms. A story Thursday

incorrectly identified the number of witnesses serving time.
