Dana, This is so funny. For a long time I have thought that certain people selling “sea glass” were putting it into a tumbler. I guess it isn’t just me.

Merry Christmas to you and your family !

Awww, Sandy Mayer, “pig house” is just a cute name, and there is nothing devious about it – not like calling tumbled glass actual sea glass. Whatever it is, I hope it will not attract crime in our neighborhood.

I appreciate the concern of all the citizens in regards to town matters. I feel The Wave has become a simple and effective way to learn about local happenings as well as air our own personal views. I read The Wave often and always look forward to the public comment — for many reasons. That being said I would like to ask for the cooperation of the general public. When I heard news of the potential for bathrooms in the park I felt it my duty to do all in my power to assist. With a tight budget I set out to fit a round peg in a square hole. I was proud to hear my company was awarded the contract and looked forward to starting. Several of us showed up on site to stake out the corners and begin construction. To our surprise we were approached by several irritated residents. I would like to ask those involved in this newest controversy, pro and con, to please be respectful of the fact that I work at my customers’ direction. Neither myself nor my employees should be caught in the middle. Please refrain from approaching us on this matter. If I am asked by my customer to cease work I will do so and in turn I would then have my employees vacate the premises. Until such time I am bound by a contract to continue work. If anyone would like to discuss any part of the issue with me privately I welcome the conversation. Thanks to all in advance for your cooperation.

Thank you Donny! In a town that should be aware of vistas, views and aesthetics, I’m shocked they could even think of putting this thing at the end of Monroe, totally destroying the view and sunset for my good buddies at that end of the street. Then to mimic the design of the ugliest structure in town for “special character” or symmetry — what? Of course, the old school already has two wonderful bathrooms (yes, marble), yet through malfeasance and neglect, the public is unable to access them. $35,000 for this thing, and they can’t purchase a tube of caulk to stop water damage at the school?

It amazes me that one person’s remarks could inspire a headline like that.

Today I drove by where the little “piggie house” is to be located and to say that I am appalled would be an understatement! What are the people that run this town thinking? The brick bathrooms will totally block the home across the street’s view of the park. Would town officials like to have that thing across from their houses, totally blocking their view? This is just another case of no one thinking about a resident’s view or feelings about having the park’s outhouse right across the street. A far better location would be next to the fence by the parking lot, but I guess Edwin Gaskin would not have liked that!
