Lions, whiners, and Bears: a bathroom feud drags on

Posted 05.05.2006 by daphne
The Big Bear Valley Historical Society rests in the same neck of the woods as the Big Bear Lion's Club. But the former lacks what the latter possesses: a permanent bathroom. While the museum does have a porta-potty, the 5,500 people who visit the museum each year want better. The society's curator, Tim Sweet, has offered to take responsibility for usage of the Lion's Club facilities (which have outdoor access) -- he'll pay for someone to clean the toilet and even to install an iron door so the Lion's Club is protected. But the Lion's Club still says no.

This isn't the first time these two societies have clashed over stall rights. The museum reportedly first asked for use of the Lion's Club toilet in June, 2005. The Lion's Club has stated numerous times that the alarm system they installed prevents their bathroom from being entered from the outside door without tripping the alarm. Mel Niez, Lion's Club president, says that the outer door is connected to the alarm and requires a key and knowledge of the code; Gloria Mead, president of the Historical Society, says the outer door isn't wired at all.

Are there Poop Nazis holed up in the woods of San Bernadino? You might think so at first -- but Mrs. Niez suggests there's more to this than meets the eye. She says that her husband, a plumber, offered to build a bathroom for the museum for free two-and-a-half years before, if the museum paid for materials. The museum, she says, turned him down. Why?

"We were told the ladies at the museum didn't want to clean bathrooms," Niez says. Maybe they should give Jennifer Aniston a call.

Whether we have a case of stingy lions or lazy bears remains to be seen. The Parks Commission has ordered Kathy Campbell, the Park District Director, to settle the dispute soon. One would think that in a park named after bears, there would be no disagreement over the topic of shitting in the woods.

The intensity of the controversy is in inverse proportion to the importance of the issues.

Noooooo! Dumpster keeps beating me to first post!

I think that with that many visitors, they ought to have their own permanent facilities, or at the very least, better port-a-pottys. Also, it seems those Lions are some tough negotiators. I see no problem allowing others to use theirs when they are willing to clean and secure it.

Practicing the ancient Chinese art of double flushing... because sometimes, a single flush just isn't enough.

You said it, Dumpster. Talk about making a poop mountain out of a turd mole hill.
Great reporting, Daphne. And the title rocks - though I'm guessing it has Dave's stamp on it. :)

The museum personnel should have thought long and hard before declining the offer. If they want a bathroom now, they're going to have to pay for someone to build it for them, not complain that they should have the right to use someone else's toilet.

A) If the museum is willing to pay to have the Lions' bathroom cleaned, wouldn't that mean they'd pay to have their OWN bathroom cleaned? The museum "ladies" wouldn't HAVE to clean it.

B) Are the museum "ladies" EMPLOYEES, or are they volunteer docents? If they are on the payroll, they need to stfu and clean the bathrooms, if that's part of the job.

C) Even if they ARE volunteers, those same "ladies" would benefit, themselves, from having nicer facilities.

D) I doubt the new facility would be enormous. It wouldn't be that hard to keep a couple of two-holers clean, and see point "A" above.

E) There's got to be something else going on besides "alarms" and "ladies".

He did mass editing on my article since I seemed to have "run on syndrome" on that particular day, but the title is ALL daphne.

Yeah, I know it was a bit of a weak article, but I couldn't help it. Sometimes, the news sucks.
