Corrections for June 6-12, 2011

"Volunteers Come to AVFD for Different Reasons," June 6, 2011.

The story, "Volunteers Come to AVFD for Different Reasons," published on June 6, 2011, has been revised. The original version of this article stated that Mike Nolan was a police officer and fire department dispatcher. He was, in fact, not a police officer, but is a 911 dispatcher for the West Hartford police and fire departments. The article initially stated that he has been a member of the Avon Volunteer Fire Department for 12 years, when in fact he is just going on a year there. He has, however, been a firefighter for 12 years, including eight years at Tunxis Hose Fire Station in Unionville and three years at the Farmington Fire Station. Finally, the article incorrectly reported that his father, Bill Nolan is retired from serving 30 years at the Avon Volunteer Fire Department. Bill Nolan is actually a retired member from Tunxis Hose, where he was a firefighter and EMT and rose to the ranks of captain. These reporting errors have been corrected.

"Carol Wu's Condition Improves after May Car Accident on Old Farms Road," June 7, 2011.

The article, "Carol Wu's Condition Improves after May Car Accident on Old Farms Road," published June 7, 2011, has been revised. The original version cited the Hippocratic Oath as the reason Hartford Hospital cannot provide the details of Wu's injuries. The hospital actually cannot release that information under Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act laws. HIPAA "protects the privacy of individually identifiable health information," according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The reporting error has been corrected.

"It's Official, Ed Jarrett Holds the New Record for the World's Tallest Sandcastle," June 8, 2011.

The article, "It's Official, Ed Jarrett Holds the New Record for the World's Tallest Sandcastle," published June 8, 2011, has been revised. The original version stated that the Princess and Pirate Parade is Saturday, when it is actually June 18. The Booty Bash for the adults is on June 24. This reporting error has been corrected.
