Redwoods and wine: In an article in the Aug. 25 Section A about proposals to clear redwood forest lands to plant wine grape vines in Sonoma County, the last name of the president of the Sonoma County Wine Grape Commission, Nick Frey, was misspelled as Fry. The article also misquoted Frey. He did not say: “This is not a plan to build a mall. They’re talking about growing grapes.” The correct quote is: “They’re talking about growing grapes. It’s an area of second-growth trees and the whole area, the wine industry here in Sonoma County, has been growing.” The first sentence of the quote as published in the article was from a winemaker who did not want to be identified because of the sensitivity of the issue.

Latino Theatre Initiative: An Aug. 24 article in the Calendar section about a UCLA-issued monograph about Center Theatre Group’s Latino Theatre Initiative said that Luis Valdez’s 1978 play “Zoot Suit” drew about 40,000 people to performances at the Mark Taper Forum and Aquarius theaters. According to CTG figures, the total attendance for those productions was 395,372. Also, a photo that accompanied the story depicted the New York Public Theater production of Oliver’s Mayer’s play “Blade to the Heat,” not the Taper’s production.
