Jerry Miles, a one-time mayor of Fountain hills, is now the decider (his letter May 21, 2014) of who is and who is not happy in Fountain Hills.

Supposedly there is some value to a former mayor’s opinion, however, in my estimation there is nothing at all in Ms. Parcyzn’s letter of May 14, 2014, as Mr. Miles indicated, as being “a very ugly letter.”

Ms. Parcyzn’s point is that art donations by well-heeled patrons does not necessarily make for an art-wise worthy collection of public art. It has been said: A goodly number of said collection in Fountain Hills can be counted as “trivial,” even though Ms. Parcyzn states “every piece is beautiful.”

At the library mall, the centrally located piece, entitled “Power of Thought,” is not only trivial it is also trite. Perhaps, in some way, that formidable thinker and logician Socrates, who was considered in his time 2,500 years ago to be physically ugly, would better capture the idea of “Power of Thought,” but alas we get trite.

Mr. Miles and various related individuals take note: “If you cannot take the heat, get out of the kitchen,” AKA the Public Art Committee.
