Make that 'Illegal' Barbara, Newport News: On Page 5 of Tuesday's paper, "Immigrant gets jail for role in brothels," should've said, " Illegal immigrant." I am an immigrant and I resent being grouped with criminals.

Mondays without Tony Why, oh, why must you people keep messing with a once-perfectly good newspaper? Tony Gabriele's wry humor column has always been in the right spot and the bright spot of the Monday paper. You do Tony and your readers a disservice to bury his column in the bloated, ad-laden Sunday paper. Bring back Tony to brighten our Monday mornings.

Where's Tony? Editor: Some readers might be searching this page today for one of their favorite local columnists, Tony Gabriele. Tony's "Get Serious" column moved to Sunday's Good Life section yesterday. (Quick, if you missed the promos on Sunday's front page and Good Life front, there's still time to pull it out of the recycling. Tony's humor will still be fresh.) Meanwhile, Tom Philpott's weekly "Military Update" column moves into today's space from its customary spot on this page on Tuesdays. Those moves were a chain reaction from the addition of Carol Capó's local opinion column, which now appears weekly on Tuesdays.

Vietnam wall In the July 9 Nation & World section's "Around the Globe in 60 seconds," a caption under the photo talks of Sgt. Chester Ovnand and Maj. Dale Buis being the first killed in Vietnam in 1959. But there was one before that. The first American soldier to die in Vietnam was Lt. Col. Peter Dewey of the Office of Strategic Services. He was killed in Saigon in September of 1945 after World War II ended. This according to author Stanley Karnow, who wrote "Vietnam: A History." His name should appear on the Vietnam wall, but apparently it does not.

Buckroe Parade? Re: the article about the Buckroe development plan and the petition process. What happens to timing of the Parade of Homes? Will they have to find an alternate site in case this drags out too long?

Headline gone bad In Amy Goodman's Thursday column about CMU's, I read the first five paragraphs and still don't know what a CMU is. Doesn't the AP Stylebook say you're supposed to identify what initials are the first time you use them?

Energy rebates? Bill D.: You ran an article June 27 that discussed Virginia getting $28 million in stimulus funding for energy conservation programs. Of that amount, $15 million was to be earmarked for residential upgrades to heating/cooling systems, windows, etc. Do you know where I can find out any additional info on how this program is to be implemented? I'm most interested in when it starts, and whether it will be made retroactive to earlier this year. Also, are there income limitations? I tried to check this out on some of the state Web sites, but could not find any details. Appreciate any help you can provide.
