This summer
of 2006 the YMHA painted over the
whole stretch of murals done by
artists and children over several
years. They threatened two years
ago, (2004) and the Home News sent a
reporter down and there was much
hemming and hawing and scuffling and
they held off till this summer when
the sight of the work proved to be too
much for them.
Take
a look at what they got rid of!
On the other
side of the wall is a swim club
welcoming busloads of children each
summer. Our original (unwritten) agreement was use
of the wall until that time it was
torn down. So it came as a surprise to
get a call that the whole span was to
be painted over in three days time. We
asked, "the fish bricks? " the
director said "What fish bricks? Is
anybody awake! Evidently not.
