You may have noticed that the Hickman Presbyterian Church had put up a sign along 68th on the Kubik property (about 2 miles north of town), with the Kubik’s permission of course. But maybe you did not notice it, because it wasn’t up very long, perhaps a week. The County had allowed the Church to put up the sign with the disclaimer that if someone complained, the sign would have to be removed. Word on the street is that someone “anonymously” called the Hickman City Office to complain about the sign. Who is this person anyway? No, we have it on good authority it wasn’t Steve Parker! It was reported that the City Office personnel told the caller that the sign was not in Hickman’s jurisdiction. Then, the City Office took it upon themselves to call the County and make the complaint. What??!! That makes no sense. The HPC congregation is very disappointed, to say the least.
In addition to reporting the Church sign, a complaint was made about the T & C Bait Shop sign. This business is located in Hickman. That sign has been in the same location for the last three years. There is no reason to complain about these signs unless someone is just being vindictive. Both signs were located on private property with the property owner’s permission.
