Scene Around Town: This bird has flown

What's wrong with this picture?

Each hand in the "Flock of Hands" sculpture by the Train Station is supposed to be paired off with another hand. Recently, your blogger noticed that one of them is missing.

According to Chamber of Commerce Director Karen Wintrow, one of the poles was found laying on the ground one day, apparently snapped off cleanly at its base. Foul play is not suspected. The hand has been recovered and the pole removed by the village crew.

Pictured left is Chamber Director Karen Wintrow holding the severed hand.

Since this...uh...work of art is made of materials that are not durable and won't last long, I've wondered if anyone is responsible for disposing of it when it becomes too deteriorated to be safe and presentable. Looks like the time may have come.
