The original version of a story on the decision to demolish the old Sandy Hook Elementary School and build a new school on the site misspelled the name of Moderator Rich Harwood.

An editorial cartoon that appeared in the May 9 print edition of the New Haven Register and is reproduced here mischaracterized a recent Israeli military strike on Syria.

The cartoon, produced by an artist from the Boston Globe and distributed by a syndication service the Register subscribes to, took a swipe at Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. It pictures an adviser telling him, "The Israelis are bombing our cities and killing our people," to which he responds, "What!?! That's my job!
The problem is that Israel did not bomb Syrian cities, or, by any news report to date, kill civilians. The New York Times reports that its strikes were against military installations outside Damascus.

A story  about a burial plot offered for Tamerlan Tsarnaev incorrectly identified the cemetery. It is Hamden’s Mount Carmel Burying Ground on Whitney Avenue, not the Central Burying Grounds.

Clarification: The initial version of a story, "Newtown fundraising efforts offer lesson to Boston funds," did not make clear that while United Way of Western Connecticut officials did not respond directly when asked if they felt they were transparent in their communication with Sandy Hook victims, the organization did issue a statement about transfer of the funds. That statement is now quoted in the story.

The only airport in Connecticut that uses Federal Aviation Administration air traffic controllers is Bradley International Airport. Budget cuts that have resulted in furloughs of FAA controllers is a separate issue from the cuts that are closing the contract-operated towers at Tweed New Haven Regional Airport and five other smaller airports in the state. The initial version of a story posted Monday confused the two.

The Tweed New Haven Airport Authority, not the city of New Haven, is considering joining a lawsuit against the Federal Aviation Administration over the proposed June15 closure of the control towers at Tweed New Haven Regional Airport and 149 others across the country. A story this week incorrectly stated the city's position.

The co-owner of TGS Outdoors in Branford, Mike Higgins, was incorrectly named as Tom O'Neill in the initial version of a story published March 28, "Bushmaster XM15 rifle is gunmaker's version of AR-15."
