By Joyce Coomer

I don't know why so many people are getting their panties in a wad over the pillars on the square. They don't impede traffic flow - vehicular or pedestrian - and make nice resting places if you so desire.

If the remnants of yellow paint were removed the pillars wouldn't be quite as noticeable, but I don't advocate repainting them -- it detracts from their architectural shape If the paint is really bothering someone, there is a thing called a wire bristle brush that works well in removing flaking paint from concrete; they can purchase a wire bristle brush and remove the paint themselves instead of annoying the city and county governments with such a mundane complaint.

Besides, there are many things much more important to fret about - like keeping the streets paved nicely when they need to be.
