Paul's Falls

I have lived in the Falls since 1968. My great-great grandfather was one of the village founders. I have served the community in multiple ways: Firefighter, various boards and commissions and for many years was president of the Falls Cable Access Corp. Currently I own, and am active in, a restaurant equipment manufacturing company.

 ...stole a pig and away he ran.

Shame on some of our citizens. It seems that some people are out to ruin everyone's fun.  Stealing pigs meant for people to visit on a scavenger hunt is about as poor citizenship as a malcontent always stirring up issues to divide the peace and quiet of a community.

I recently spoke with a local businessman who could only shake his head in wonderment why somebody would actually stoop so low.  He has had to chain his ceramic pig to his property to try to deter thievery.  He is not so sure that even that will prevent the theft.

So, the scavenger hunt starts early.  All you good citizens, keep your eyes open for the missing artwork and keep an eye on the pigs remaining.  The authorities will me most receptive to any reports.

I suspect the problem is that we give more attention to the pigs than we do to the youth in our community. If the young people had something to do this kind of stuff would not be happening. It's a crime of boredom (unless somebody tells me that those pigs are actually worth something)
