FOR THE RECORD

Real estate assessments for most Roanoke property owners increased less than 5 percent in the city's recent real estate reappraisals. But more than 7,000 Roanoke property owners received increases greater than 5 percent, said Will Claytor, director of real estate valuation. A story Wednesday incorrectly quoted Claytor as saying no assessment increased more than 5 percent.

A Salem High School boys' basketball player was identified incorrectly in a photo caption in Wednesday's editions. The player chasing a loose ball on B3 was Herschel Thomas.

Roanoke County School Board member Thomas Leggette was incorrectly identified as chairman of the board in a story Wednesday. Leggette's term as chairman ended Jan. 1.
