by Evelyn
Some person, or persons, who
have little respect for public or
private property, have been at it
again. The ball park and property
of residents have been torn tip by
someone deliberately driving a
vehicle over grounds where they
had no right to be. The earth was
wet and the damage was
considerable. Persons who do
such things must have a malicious
nature, are incapable of
intelligent behaviour, or their
brain is impaired with
unfortunate stimulants. They
should be made repair the
damage they caused.
