Corrections
The print version of “Harnessing Energy Underground” by Cheryl Pavic Henner in the Sept. 24 2026 edition of The White Pine Press incorrectly reported that the pipes running underneath the Cherry Lot are 14 inches thick. In fact, they are 2 inches thick. Also, the caption describing a photo of underground pipes incorrectly located them under the Cherry Lot. They are actually underneath the Health and Science building. And the drone photo on the cover of our Sept. 24 edition should be attributed to NMC Uncrewed Aerial Systems student Jeremy Henner. We regret the errors.
