• A story about the band Mastodon in Wednesday’s Carolina Living section misidentified band member Troy Sanders.

• A photo in Tuesday’s Carolina Living section misidentified the elementary school where children completed a park design project. The school is Elizabeth Lane Elementary. • A story in Tuesday’s Sports section about the Ardrey Kell and Providence High baseball game included the wrong first name for Ardrey Kell pitcher Trent Thornton in a quote by Ardrey Kell coach Hal Bagwell.

• In a front-page article Sunday about black churchgoers’ views on North Carolina’s proposed marriage amendment, the Observer published a quote from the Rev.
