San Gabriel tourism: In the Feb. 13 Section A, an article about development and tourism on Valley Boulevard in San Gabriel misstated the location of two proposed hotels. Developer Sunny Chen has proposed a hotel at the site of a closed Norm’s restaurant near the intersection of Valley Boulevard and Del Mar Avenue, not the property next to it, which contains a closed furniture store. The Crowne Plaza hotel is slated for a property a block east from the site of the old Norm’s restaurant, not the restaurant site itself.
Bhutan marathon: A brief in the Jan. 12 Travel section’s Tours & Cruises column referred to a Feb. 23 marathon in the Himalayan nation of Bhutan as the country’s first such race. Other marathons have previously been run in Bhutan. Also, in some copies of the Feb. 12 edition, a For the Record item referred to one of those other marathons as the Royal Kingdom Marathon. It was the Bhutan International Marathon.
“Hank: 5 Years From the Brink”: In the Feb. 14 Calendar section, theater information for a review of the documentary “Hank: 5 Years from the Brink,” said the film would be playing at AMC Burbank. It will now show exclusively at Laemmle’s NoHo 7.
Microbead bill: An article in the Feb. 13 Business section about the planned introduction of a bill to ban the sale of cosmetic products containing plastic microbeads in California misspelled the name of the environmental group 5 Gyres, which helped craft the legislation, as 5 Gyers.
Homeboy Industries: A column in the Jan. 26 Section A said that Homeboy Industries had a $1-million budget deficit that might necessitate 60 more layoffs this year. Though the organization did lose $1 million in government funding, it also cut expenditures to close the gap and does not anticipate client/trainee layoffs.
