Frank Ney Statue Damaged
Local malcontents have caused damage to some of the art on display in Maffeo Sutton Park dowtown on Nanaimo's waterfront. The statue honoring Nanaimo's flamboyant mayor, Frank Ney has had the sword broken from the bronze statue which was erected in 1996. It will be repaired at some cost to local taxpayers and hopefully in time for next year's bathtub race.
Reward Offered
An anonymous art lover has posted a sign offering a reward for information regarding the person or persons who are responsible for destroying another piece of public art. The ceramic statue titled Pelagic Cormorant by artist Lori Sorenson was damaged beyond repair before it could be sold at last week's public art auction. The number on the note offering the reward is 591-6116 and says that no questions will be asked.
