6 - The Canadian Champion, Friday, April 27, 2001 OMMLN1, Vandalism meeting is an important one ~. Recent vandalism at Evergreen Cemetery and local schooks leaves us, CurAXK4 quite frankly, feeling both dîsgusted and exasperated. CU M jLC The pathetic cuiprits turned over 27 headstones at the Ontanio Street cemcte-y late Saturday night, and about $25,000 damage was cau'ced t0 Martin Street School. E.C. Drury High School and Sam Sherratt School were also recent targets of vandais. Evergreen Cemetery and sehools have been vandalized before, but the problem seems t0 be getting worse as reports of damage to cars, mailboxes and other property are constant and numerous. Attempting to understand vandalism is difficuit, but, then again, it's bard to miake sense of something senseless. Destruction of other peo- pIe's property is clearly a lack of respect, but what drives people to do it? Do vandals gain pleasure [rom it, and if so, why? We're at a loss for answers, however the St. Peter's School Councîl will try to deal with the problem at a special meeting Monday night. Police will be on hand at the meeting, heldat the school at 7 pi. We hope a large crowd will turn out as the more people putting their heads together to try to resolve the issue the better. l W ý 7 O UR READERS WRiTE Eight-year-old girl upset by cemetery G rate fui Tanner surprised by her se lection urndhim:wonders"whv lit happened as the 2000 Business Woman of the Vear i Dear Editor: Sunday night my moin and 1 were out for a bike ride.
