Bob Gould (left), village street superintendent, removes a pear tree from in front of Quest on Main Street. The pear trees all along Main are in decline due to fire blight.
A public meeting will be held at 7 p.m. on Tuesday at the United Methodist Church to discuss the issue.
There are 100 trees along Main. Village officials, tree commissioners and Brad Burns, a certified arborist, were on hand Wednesday morning to observe the tree removal. All went well.
The trees are in an 18 inch well, not 3 foot deep box as thought. Removal of the tree did not break up the sidewalk or gutter. Not all trees are infested at this time.

Now there is a story behind the football drubbing that ONU took at the hands of the Irish more than a century ago.
