Reaction to Wreath Edict Leads to More Peace Symbols
By KIRK JOHNSON
DENVER, Nov. 28 - Peace is fighting back in Pagosa Springs.

Last week, a couple were threatened with fines of $25 a day by their 
homeowners'
association unless they removed a four-foot wreath shaped like a peace symbol
from the front of their house.

The fines have been dropped, and the three-member board of the association has
resigned, according to an e-mail message sent to residents on Monday.

Two board members have disconnected their telephones, apparently to escape the
waves of callers asking what the board could have been thinking, residents 
said.
The third board member, with a working phone, did not return a call for 
comment.

In its original letter to the couple, Lisa Jensen and Bill Trimarco, the
association said some neighbors had found the peace symbol politically
"divisive."

A board member later told a newspaper that he thought the familiar circle with
angled lines was also, perhaps, a sign of the devil.

The peace symbol came to prominence in the late 1950s as the logo for the
Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, a British antiwar group, according to the
group's Web site. It incorporates the semaphore flag images for the letters in
the group's name, a "D" atop an "N."

Other people have said the upright line with arms angled down, commonplace in 
the
United States in the Vietnam War, especially, has roots in the early Christian
era, representing a twisted or broken cross.

Mr. Trimarco said he put up the wreath as a general symbol of peace on earth, 
not
as a commentary on the Iraq war or another political statement.

In any case, there are now more peace symbols in Pagosa Springs, a town of 
1,700
people 200 miles southwest of Denver, than probably ever in its history.

On Tuesday morning, 20 people marched through the center carrying peace signs 
and
then stomped a giant peace sign in the snow perhaps 300 feet across on a 
soccer
field, where it could be seen from about just everywhere by just about 
everyone.

"There's quite a few now in our subdivision in a show of support," Mr. 
Trimarco
said.

A former president of the Loma Linda community, where Mr. Trimarco lives, said
Tuesday that he had stepped in to help form an interim homeowners' 
association.

The former president, Farrell C. Trask, described himself in a telephone
interview as a military veteran who would fight for anyone's right to free
speech, peace symbols included.

Town Manager Mark Garcia said Pagosa Springs was building its own peace 
wreath,
too. Mr. Garcia said it would be finished by late Tuesday and installed on a 
bell
tower in the center of town.
