Question

Don't Rezone in Pallsburg
I am writing this editorial in response to the article that appeared in Saturday's edition of the Pallsburg Gazette. That article stated that the town board is considering a plan to rezone a five-mile-square section of land at the north end of town. By permitting the building of commercial businesses and space for public parking, the new zoning will allow for the construction of a new strip mall at the end of Butler Road. What the article did not mention was that in order to make this strip mall a reality, the town will need to tear down Butler Park, as well as more than 400 acres of unspoiled forest. I am writing to make people aware of this tragic possibility so that we can put a stop to it at the next town meeting.

Butler Park has been a landmark in our town for more than 30 years. Every Saturday and Sunday when I was a child, my friends and I rode our bikes there to play on the swings, jump rope, or just sit in the shade of one of the ancient elms and read comic books. When my children were too small to go to the park on their own, I took them to Butler Park. There they could stand by the stream and watch the fish, and when they got a little older, they often jumped in to try to catch tadpoles. Back then, of course, it was the only park in town. Now we also have Pallsburg Town Park, which was built five years ago. Sure, it has all sorts of modern conveniences such as a swimming pool, locker rooms, a hockey rink, and even a small outdoor amphitheater for summer concerts. And all of those things are wonderful. But Pallsburg Town Park has no trees to sit under, no place to have a game of softball, not even any benches to relax on. In Butler Park, I taught my children how to throw a flying disk. In Pallsburg Town Park, it is against the rules to throw a flying disk.

Then there are the woods behind Butler Park, also earmarked for the bulldozer. Originally those woods were part of the protected woodlands t
