Crime report

In Saturday’s edition, the Observer erroneously identified the events of an incident at a house on East Berrien Avenue in Ellenton that took place Thursday. Lee Miller was dragged off a couch and into the yard by a male acquaintance and hit in the back of the head and forehead with an unknown object, causing a laceration to the back of his head. He refused treatment at the scene but was later taken to Colquitt Regional Medical Center for treatment by a family member. We apologize for the error.

New Elm Centennial

In last Sunday’s edition, the contact e-mail for the Centennial Celebration at New Elm Baptist Church was incorrectly listed. The correct email address is wasuda@hotmail.com. We apologize for the error.
