Resident Clear Cuts 66 Trees, Inundating Neighbors Below

Resident Clear Cuts 66 Trees, Inundating Neighbors Below

Tuesday, 10 June 2025 09:07 Last Updated: Tuesday, 10 June 2025 09:21 Published: Tuesday, 10 June 2025 09:07 Joanne Wallenstein Hits: 1076

beforeIn perhaps one of the most egregious incidents of tree destruction that we’ve seen, Mohican Trail residents removed 66 trees on a steep slope to accommodate a basketball court.

The clear cutting did more than destroy the view from the homes below. It caused significant erosion and mud slides into the yards, pools and streets.

The surprising fact is that the residents removed the trees with the approval of the Village.

That’s right. Scarsdale Village signed a permit to remove 39 Norway Maples, 22 dead or diseased deciduous trees and 5 native deciduous healthy trees to build a sports court.

Here’s the note on the property record below:

February 27, 2024

“REMOVAL OF 66 TREES CONSISITING OF 39 INVASIVE NORWAY MAPLES, 22 DEAD DISEASED NATIVE DECIDUOUS TREES, AND 5 NATIVE DECIDUOUS TREES WHICH ARE HEALTHY. (REMOVAL LIST ATTACHED) PROPERTY CONTAINS TEN TREES WHICH WERE FLAGGED BY VILLAGE ARBORIST TO BE PRESERVED AND PROTECTED. (PROTECTED LIST ATTACHED) ARBORIST REPORT PROVIDED. FIVE (5) REPLACEMENT TREES REQUIRED FROM GROUP A OR GROUP C OF VILLAGE LIST.”

About the Village Code that allows Norway Maples to be removed without a permit, the neighbor writes, “Norwegian Maples were planted widely in Westchester in the 1700’s to replace the trees that had succumbed to Duthc Elm disease. The trees were hearty, growing tall, and providing a beautiful canopy.”

The residents on Mohican Trail were supposed to plant replacements for some of the downed trees, but instead they have applied for a special use permit to build a 2,200 square foot sports court on the steep slope which a neighbor says will “exacerbate stormwater flooding, environmental…

Scott Ritter: A US-Russia Citizen’s Summit

“In 1985, when the first Space Bridge took place, I was serving in the US Marines, preparing for a possible war with the Soviet Union. I viewed the dialogue between Americans and Russians with some interest, since it humanized people I had only previously viewed as my enemy.

Three years later I was able to participate in my own personal Space Bridge. I had been assigned to the Russian city of Votkinsk, where I served as an inspector implementing the INF Treaty. Over the course of two years, I had many conversations with the citizens of Votkinsk, after which I vowed never again to view the Russian people as my enemy.

I have traveled to Russia twice in the past two years, continuing the conversations I began more than 37 years ago. I watch as my country once again seeks to view Russia and its people as enemies of America and Americans. I am struck by the importance of simple dialogue among people as the key to building friendship between nations. I am proud to be able to help facilitate such dialogue today, as part of this project.”

The Mohican Market, Kingston, New York

The Mohican was originally a market and bakery located in Uptown Kingston’s historic Stockade District. Established in 1880, the Mohican moved to its current address in 1930. For decades it was a popular place for the citizens of Kingston to do their shopping.

The Mohican is surrounded by American history—across the street is the courthouse where John Jay, the first Supreme Court Justice of the United States, wrote the Constitution of New York State—a document which went on to comprise…

New Campsite Reservation System for Hocking and Mohican-Memorial State Forests

Thirty forest campsites are available for reservations

COLUMBUS, Ohio – A new system for campsite reservations is now available for Hocking State Forest and for Mohican-Memorial State Forest. There are 23 campsites available for reservation at the Hocking State Forest Horse Campground, and seven Park-and-Pack campsites available at Mohican-Memorial State Forest. The sites were previously first come, first served camping areas.

“Ohio’s state forests provide visitors with a unique camping experience,” said ODNR Division of Forestry Chief Dan Balser. “This new system will not only allow people to plan ahead but give us a better idea of who is using the campground and allow us to improve our services.”

The new reservation system is now available to book reservations that start on Monday, September 1 and beyond. When making a reservation, people will be asked to provide their name, address, vehicle license plate number, as well as the camping equipment they plan to bring to the site.

After Monday, September 1, all campers at Hocking and Mohican-Memorial state forests will be required to show a valid camping permit. All permits will be issued through the new reservation system via email when booking reservations are completed. Campers can bring a printed copy or save a digital version on their phones.

The ODNR Division of Forestry provides the following guidelines for making reservations with the new system:

  • There is no charge to set up an account. Accounts are set up using the OH|ID secure login system.
  • There is no charge to create or cancel a reservation.
  • Users may reserve a campsite up to 90 days in advance.
  • Users are limited to reserving 14 days within a 30-day window.
  • Users may reserve up to two campsites for the same dates at one campground.
  • Check-in starts at 3:00 p.m. on the start…

Last of the Mohican: Chile’s Iconic Hardman Arturo Vidal Embroiled in Football Match Fixing Scandal

Known in his homeland as “El Rey Arturo”, King Arthur, or simply “El Rey”, Chile’s midfield hardman Arturo Vidal has become embroiled in a match-fixing scandal that is rocking sports betting in the South American nation.

With his colourful Mohican haircut, Vidal is a veritable sporting superstar in his country.

He helped Juventus, Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Inter Milan win league championships. And is the only Chilean to play in a Champions League final, appearing for Italian giants Juventus in 2015; although his team lost 1-3, with fellow South Americans, the Uruguayan Luis Suaréz and Brazilian Neymar scoring goals for opponents Barcelona.

But today glory has twisted to controversy for Vidal, who turned 38 last week, and he is mired in a scandal over his association with an online sports betting site he has actively promoted, amid suspicions of match fixing and conflicts of interest.

The South American Football Confederation (Conmebol) is looking into the case and Vidal could face punishment or even a FIFA ban.

iGaming Paradox

Yet, paradoxically, online betting operators in Chile, where iGaming is yet to be fully regulated, are hoping the scandal swirling around the country’s most famous football player will actually help advance a bill that is stuck in Chile’s Senate, roadblocked by fierce opposition from retail casino interests.

In mid-April, Vidal’s current team, Chile’s Colo-Colo club, “The Wildcats”–the most successful domestic side in the country, winning the Primera División 34 times in its 100-year history, and the only Chilean side to ever lift the Copa Libertadores–launched a sports betting platform called “Play with the King” (Juega con el King) that also offers an online casino, games and live events.

At that time, Videl presented “Play with the King” as his own platform and appeared at the launch, giving away…

[Loudonville], [Ohio] – [Monday, May 26, 2025] – The hills—and now the stage—are alive with The Sound of Music! The Mohican Community Theatre (MCT), under the Loudonville Theatre and Arts Committee (LTAC), nestled in the heart of Loudonville, proudly presents its summer production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s beloved classic, The Sound of Music. This heartfelt performance, featuring a cast of talented local actors, will run six performances from June 20th through June 29th at the beautiful, historic Ohio Theatre.

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Austrian Alps, The Sound of Music tells the inspiring true story of Maria, a spirited young governess who brings music and joy back to the Von Trapp family during a time of significant change. Audiences will enjoy timeless songs like “Do-Re-Mi,” “My Favorite Things,” “Climb Ev’ry Mountain,” and, of course, the iconic title number.

Directed by Rachel Kelly, assisted by Siera Wright, with musical direction by Jenny Carroll, and technical direction by Sally Hollenbach, this community production brings together seasoned performers and first-time actors alike in a heartwarming celebration of family, faith, and the power of music.

“This show is more than just a musical—it’s a story about hope, love, and resilience,” says Rachel Kelly. “We’re thrilled to bring this production to life with the passion and dedication of our incredible cast and crew, many of whom live right here in our community, and those closely surrounding…
