• A joint, interfaith service between the Episcopal Parish of St. Clement and the Lutheran Church of Honolulu will be held at the Lutheran Church at 7 p.m. today. The 41st Interfaith Thanksgiving Eve Service with Nu'uanu churches, temples and synagogues will also be at 7 p.m. today at Harris United Methodist Church, 20 S. Beretania St. The Faith Calendar posted Saturday was incorrect because of an editor's error.

• The first telegraph message was sent from Hawai'i to the Mainland on Jan. 1, 1903. The first Hawaiian-language newspaper published by Native Hawaiians, Ka Hoku O Ka Pakipika, was published on Sept. 26, 1861. Because of a reporter's error, incorrect information was contained in a box in an Island Life story posted yesterday.

• Charter school teachers can accrue tenure and seniority in the state system only if they were Department of Education teachers before transferring to a charter school. Teachers hired directly by a charter school accrue tenure and seniority in that school only. A Local News story posted Monday indicated otherwise. In the same story, the president of the Hawai'i Association of Charter Schools was misidentified. He is John Thatcher.
