Question of the week: What do you think should happen with the Memorial Walkway for veterans and the trees in Neahwa Park?
“I’m not from Oneonta, but
I don’t think
they should take
the trees down.
Trees have been
there a long
time. It seems
like they can
design something
around
the trees. But I
think that’s a great idea for the
veterans, that part. I think they
should compromise, get a little
imagination to figure something
out.”
— Dean Utter, dairy farmer,
Cherry Valley
``Yes, I think
they should. It’s
just nice for the
veterans.”
— Sarah Mancuso,
student,
Cherry Valley
“I suppose it would be nice
to have a walkway, but at the
same time, I would really be on
the fence about
the trees. I
wouldn’t say one
way or the other.
I suppose if they
wanted to replace
the trees,
it would be OK.
As long as they
make an effort
without getting into semantics
and mathematics on the number
they replace.”
— Jonathan Wenck, assistant
manager, Laurens
“I don’t think
they should, honestly.
There are
not that many
trees down there
to begin with, really.”
— Brett
Winne, Winne
Forest Products,
Davenport
“I think we got to do what
we can to honor our veterans as
well as protect green space. It
shouldn’t be one
or the other. A lot
of people around
here are thinking,
‘if you’re for
the trees, you’re
against the veterans,’
or the other
way around, and
that’s not true.
It’d be way better if they divided
the funds and put half towards
planting more trees in the park
and the other half towards programs
for local veterans.”
— Bridget Harbinger, waitress,
Oneonta
“I have mixed feelings
about taking the trees down;
something that
takes so many
years to grow.
I’d like to see an
alternative plan
and see them
work around the
trees”
