said Elliott.
Exeter area fchools
• were hardest hit ac-
cording to reports given.
the board by principals.
Varidals..at Exeter Public
School slashed 100 win-
dow screens, bent . and
slashed five other screens
and smashed two storm
windows and the window
of the principal's office.
South Huron District
High School did not
escape vandalism.
During January and
February the school was
'hit with over half adozen
, incidents- of wilful
damage costing an
estimated $1,300. The
damages range from
broken windows . and
damaged equipment . to
plugged • urinals- in • a
washroom after someone
poured' quick; drying
cement intd the fixture
plugging the pipes.
Bob McVean,plant
superintendant for the
county schools, said
Tuesday the theoryof
quick drying cement was
only a guess pointing out
that . something is in the
plumbing .that won't
budge. McVean said
some type ofmaterial has
got three of four urinals
in one washroom at the
school plugged solid and
not even power augers
can break up whatever it
is. He said attempts are
being made to fres the.
drains using pneumatic
hammers and if that fails
there will be no recourse
but to break . upthe
washroom floor and
remove the pipts.
He said the floor of the
washroom was terrazo_
and was very costly. He
added that the washroom
is in the old portion of the
building and the
blueprints available on
the structure arerather
vague. He said he only
hasdrawings -of the.
building and not exact
blueprints, which show
how it was built.
"We don't know the
depth of the' pipes or how
far we have to dig ,to find
the traps," he said. "We
may get lucky and fix the
plug for less than the
$1,000 or Tuve may1 nve to
go deeper than 'we think
and it could cost ' more
than that. There's a lot
unforseen. ".

Elliott told trustees that.
most of the expenses
from vandalism were not
.covered by insurance. He
said the board's'policies.
carried $5,Q00 deductible
meaning most of the
repairs were below the
minimum. He said the
costs for the board to
carry a smaller deduc-
tible figure would
probably be greater than
the damages. •
E,iliottsaid it appeared
the only way to curb the
damages was • to
inaugurate sortie sotTof
preventitive programs.
He.. said the costs. of
vandalism were
"drastic" and asked that
trustees give some
thou ht to what can be
`don 'to stop the damage.
"How someone can get
quick drying cement into
.a school and dump it into
a urinal shows that
something is fairly lax
someplace," he said.
Cochrane pointed out
that the vandalism is not
necessarily the act of
students of the schppl. He
said the urinals at, South.
Huron .were p`1ugged
• sometime during a
Q weekend when the school
was open:to the public for
a winter. carnival. •
