Heights Observer article criticized for bias

On August 29, 2011, the Heights Observer published an article about Oakwood by intern James Helmsworth that was extremely innaccurate and one-sided. Read it here:

Cary Seidman, a Cleveland Heights resident and teacher, has responded:

It's nice to see that there are SOME people still remaining in Cleveland Heights who have a lick of common sense. Seidman correctly points out that Oakwood is not greenspace. Nor has it been so in the lifetimes of anyone on this planet. It is a herbicided, pesticided golf course. Now, it's is "well on its way to becoming a weed-infested eyesore". Environmental activists like Susan Miller say that's just nature reclaiming Oakwood, but few of us see it that was.
