Save The Sycamore

Editor, Times-Union:
This is regarding your front page on Oct. 21.
I was awed by the picture of the tree that was right on the front. I thought the woman standing next to it was so lucky! Then I read the headline and got sick to my stomach! What is the city of Warsaw thinking? Cutting down that gorgeous tree!
The fact that the project started five years ago to me seems to indicate that the tree could stand a lot longer even now! Surely, the sidewalk can go around that wonderful big tree!
Please, city of Warsaw, come to your senses and make this tree a landmark - DO NOT CUT IT DOWN!!!!
I am not a citizen of Warsaw but do a lot of my shopping there. And have some friends there. How about making this tree a landmark for us to come drive by when we are in town?

Driving Lessons
Editor, Times-Union: I was reading the Times-Union last Friday and to my surprise there was a paid-for response to a letter I wrote over a week ago. Apparently, our “Letters” colleague from Winona is back critiquing other people’s letters.

For His Birthday
Editor, Times-Union: Donald Trump wants a “big, beautiful” military parade with an estimated cost of around $92 million of taxpayers’ money — the guy who was a Vietnam War draft dodger —the guy who claims our soldiers are suckers and losers — the guy who is cutting VA benefits, services and employees — the guy who aspires to be a king or even a pope rather than just a president — the guy who is a convicted felon, an adjudicated sexual assaulter, and a twice-impeached president. Yeah, that guy. He wants a full-blown military parade to honor himself on his birthday (and maybe the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army and Flag Day a little bit).

Poet Biorefining Plan
Editor, Times-Union: I'm writing in regards to the plans that Poet Biorefining and Vault 44.01 have, to build a carbon capture facility, just south of North Manchester.

Apologies To Officer
Editor, Times-Union: So I am writing this letter to Officer D. Brewton of the Warsaw Police Department and all law enforcement personnel of Kosciusko County.

Chip Shots: A Twisted Twist On A Take
It’s no surprise to me one of the least competently managed NFL franchises drafted Shedeur Sanders. The Cleveland Browns – not the REAL Cleveland Browns in MY heart and mind – made the Colorado Buffaloes quarterback the 144th pick in the 2025 NFL draft two Saturdays ago.
