CORRECTION
A photo on Page 18 of the May
31 issue of the Ridgewood Times
and Times Newsweekly included
a photo of an event at Christ the
King Regional High School. Due
to a graphical error, the wrong
headline was used. The headline
should have read "Holocaust
survivor speaks to M.V. students."
The corrected headline is in the
digital edition of that week's
paper. We apologize for any confusion
which may have resulted.
