Photo: Village of Elba gateway signs taken down for restoration

By Howard B. Owens

Trustee Denis Rohan and Mayor Scott Schuler removed the gateway signs for the Village of Elba this afternoon so they can be given a fresh coat of paint and spruced up a bit.

The big question is what to do with the "Pop.: Just Right" on the sign. Rohen and Schuller said the village might add a motto to the bottom sign. The concern is that "Pop.: Just Right" sends the wrong message, a message that indicates new residents aren't welcome. Rohan said it's important to communicate that everybody is welcome in Elba.

How about: Population - always room for one more.

Maybe you could start a naming contest, Howard. Winner gets a free "blooming onion" at the Onion Festival
