There is another to add to your corrections last week [Feedback, May 9]. In the ninth paragraph of [“Nuke of the North: Québec’s Gentilly-2 Reactor Faces VT Yankee-Style Closure Fight,” May 2], Mr. Picard refers to “the provisional government of Québec.” I think he meant the “provincial” government. He also could have just said “the government of Québec.” Thanks for an interesting story! Christopher Byrne

CANADIAN VIEW
I’ve been working as an antinuke environmentalist with EnergyProbe in Toronto for more than 30 years, and I just wanted to congratulate you all on one of the clearest and most informative articles I’ve ever read on this thorny and complex subject [“Nuke of the North: Québec’s Gentilly-2 Reactor Faces VT Yankee-Style Closure Fight,” May 2]. One small thing: There’s no obvious way to explain that Canada’s regulator allows our nukes to spew much more radioactive pollution than does the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. But calling our limits “higher standards” can’t be the best way! Norman Rubin

NOT KNOTWEED
Interesting article [“Kitchen Takeover,” April 18], but it was highly irresponsible to illustrate it with an image that is not Japanese knotweed. Since this plant is a notable invasive, you could at least ensure you ID it correctly. There are enough images of this plant on the internet to check your illustration against. Laura Thomas
LONDON
Editor’s note: We used a picture of garlic mustard to illustrate the story, which was subtitled “Cooking with invasive Japanese knotweed and garlic mustard.” The plant was identified as garlic mustard in the print edition, but not on the online version. It’s since been fixed.
WHITHER THE BIKE PATH?
In a lot of ways it’s too bad that the bike path is in such disrepair and that Mayor Miro Weinberger must make a decision on the Moran Plant in about 60 days now [“Burlington-Area Bike Paths Are All They’re Cracked Up to Be,” April 25]. Situated where it is on the bike path downtown, the Moran Plant could serve as a “light transportation center” in addition to housing the Sailing Center, a café, an iceclimbing wall, etc. To me, light transportation includes bicycles, skateboards, strollers, in-line skates, electric scooters, electric bikes, Segways and other personal transportation devices that weigh less than 100 pounds.
