Village Beautiful Mountain Grove had been doing an amazing job making the town look vibrant, lived in and loved. Then someone informed me that it was actually the result of Arlene Uens' hard work & creativity.
So imagine my shock and dismay when I learned that the township asked her/removed two of her beautiful colourful folk art murals because they were a distraction.
How are those murals any different than the murals that were commissioned by the township to be painted and erected in neighbouring Parham &Sharbot Lake? They depicted local wildlife and added an attraction to draw visitors to our small town. I can't express how disappointed I am with the township on this one. The murals were
an extension of the hard work Arlene had put in to beautifying her home town. Surely a compromise could be met where the murals could remain in Mountain Grove, even if in a different location.
Thank you Arlene for all of your hard work! At least some of us appreciate it!
