Source: Sherman Publications  Letter to the Editor A call to
cover city-caused vandalism  September 28, 2011  Dear Editor,
Perhaps if there were places for kids to go and do something
there would be less vandalism ("Vandals cause problems in
downtown Depot Park," Sept. 14).  It seems we have nothing but
rules for what you can't do. Don't skateboard, don't run, don't
ride your bike, don't pick the flowers, don't be in the park,
etc.  How about giving everyone some reasons to be outside
instead of more complaints and rules that only further limit
anyone from doing anything. At the moment there seems to be no
plan other than fix it again and complain.  Perhaps someone will
write about all the light pole bases, curbs, sprinklers, mail
box posts and other items that have been damaged "accidentally"
by the city.  It is not called vandalism but we all have to pay
for it again and again, but no one complains.  Cory Johnston
