In an article about Performance Network’s reading of “A Christmas Carol,” we incorrectly identified Phil Powers. He is not a former UM regent or the Center for Michigan founder – that would be Phil Power. Phil Powers is an actor who is married to Performance Network’s executive director, Carla Milarch. We note the error here, and have corrected it in the original article.

A caption in our article about UM’s purchase of the Pfizer site misidentified a Crain’s Detroit Business reporter. His name is Ryan Beene. We note the error here, and have corrected it in the original article.

In describing the possible sites for location of replacement units for those lost at the site of the old YMCA, we named the wrong intersection for one, and invented one that doesn’t exist for another.  The correct descriptions of the three sites are: A at the southwest corner of Fourth and Anne; B at the southwest corner of Fourth and Catherine; C at the northwest corner of Fourth and Catherine. We note the mistake here and have corrected it in the original piece.

In a report on the Dec. 3 Washtenaw County Commission board meeting, we misstated the role of Mike Score, who works with the local unit of the Michigan State University Extension. Score was a lead founder of the Food System Economic Partnership, for which he was honored on Dec. 3. He does not lead the local MSU Extension program. We note the error here, and have corrected it in the original article.

In our write-up of the Ypsilanti Community Band’s rehearsal, we mis-identified the instrument played by Harold Goodsman Award winner Tom Warner. He plays percussion. On Tuesday, for example, he was playing the chimes. We note the error here and have corrected it in the original piece.

Our write-up of the last city council meeting indicated the incorrect date for the next meeting. The correct date of the next meeting is Monday, Nov. 17 starting at 7:00 p.m. We note the error here as well as in the original item.

In an account of the Nov. 6 city council meeting, we attributed to councilmember Mike Anglin a question posed to the developer about per-bed versus per-unit leasing. In fact, the question was posed by outgoing councilmember Stephen Kuselman. We note the mistake here as well as in the original piece.

In a roundup of Election Day coverage, HD described a text message he thought he’d received from city attorney, Stephen Postema. The message was not from Postema. We note the mistake here as well as in the original report.

In explaining that Karen Lovejoy Roe did not run for re-election as county commissioner, we said that she’d won a different Democratic primary race in Ypsilanti townships than the one she did: clerk.  We note the error here and have corrected the original piece: Lovejoy Roe won the Democratic primary in the clerk’s race.

The address of a property under discussion for appointment of a study committee to examine possible removal from the Old Fourth Ward historic district was given incorrectly in our original report.  It’s been corrected to 412 E. Huron St.  We note the error here and in the original piece.

In a report on the Sept. 18 UM Board of Regents meeting, we gave the incorrect date and location for the board’s October meeting.

In our report on the council meeting of Sept. 22, we spelled an instance of  councilmember Marcia Higgins’ last name incorrectly.  This was not the first time we’ve done that.  We know how to spell it.  We regret the repeated error. We note the mistake here and in the original report.

We gave an inaccurate description of “Rocket Boys” by Homer Hickam, a book being considered for the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti Reads program. We note the error here and have corrected the original story.

In an Old Media Watch item, we cited a quote from Doug Lewis, director of UM’s student legal services, in the original publication (Daily Collegian of Penn State) that claimed Eastern Michigan University had no student legal services. That claim is disputed by commenters at EMUTalk.org. We make note of it here, as well as in the original Chronicle Old Media Watch item.

We misspelled the names of councilmembers Teall and Lowenstein in a recent roundup of Sunday night caucus. We acknowledge the error here and have corrected the spelling in the original story.  In addition we misspelled the name of councilmember Higgins.

Jennifer Hall is now chair of the DDA board, not vice-chair as she was described in a previous story. The error is noted here and in the original piece.
