FOR THE RECORD - Jan. 24, 2003

An article in the Jan. 17 issue of the Coastline Pilot, “McCalla’s

will stay in town,” was premature in reporting that Ropage Beauty

Supply and Salon would be moving from its Forest Avenue location. The

owner of Ropage was not reached until after the story was reported

and was not the source for the story. The article also stated that

the move would be to avoid a rent increase to $22,000. According to

the property manager, the building is on the market with an asking

price of $13,750 per month. Also, the article stated that the

property was being managed by Fritz Duda for his uncle. The property

is not owned by Duda’s uncle. It is owned by a family that lives in

Wichita, Kan.
