It's interesting how polarizing the commentary can become. For the record, the tennis coach does use a blower to clean the courts. I have seen him out there on a regular basis blowing the court clean and making it safe for his players. The overarching question should not be whether Stetson removes the trees in question and then replaces them, but how the University will deal with this and other related isues in the future. We all understand the nature of progress; it happens like it or not, but is it too much to ask for a civil discussion before plans are put into motion? Fortunately, the University has stepped back and will hopefully have a productive discussion with the neighboring community. It isn't too much to ask that the University be completely forthcoming in its plans. Safety is a major concern. The safety of the atheletes and the safety of those that live in the neighbohood. Replanting trees is great, but will this really solve the problem? This is Florida...leaves will always find a way onto the tennis courts, as will the fruits of certain trees. If the University wants to be a good steward to the community of DeLand, in the spirit of "transparency" it needs to be forthcoming in its near and long-term plans that directly impact the surrounding community and DeLand. People can accept change, especially if they know it's coming.
