• In a Letter to the Editor titled “Baileys Harbor’s Government Benefits Select Few” submitted by Ray Spangler that was printed in the Nov. 24 issue of the Pulse, Spangler wrote that “Dale Williams had to resign his board office after his company was awarded a city contract.” That is incorrect. Dale Williams resigned from his position on the town board April 1, 2010 in order to place a bid on a town project, per statutory requirements. He won the bid, and Roberta Thelen was appointed to fill his seat on the board.

Further Clarification:

On March 11, 2009, as he was running for re-election, Williams also resigned his position on the board to bid on a town project, which he won. His name remained on the ballot, and he was re-elected in April of 2009. Since his work for the town was completed within five days of the election, the town re-appointed him to his seat.

• In “A House of Their Own: Habitat for Humanity Helps Families in Need” printed in the Nov. 24 issue of the Pulse, it was stated that “To qualify for a Habitat home, a family must have an income of no more than 60 percent of the federal poverty level.” The program income limits for Door County Habitat for Humanity are actually 60 percent of the median family income.
