New sidewalk vandalized � Roughly 50 feet (16 metres) of new sidewalk on Goderich Street had to be removed and reinstalled because of recent vandalism, Public Works Supe intendont John Forrest told Seaforth Council Tuesday night. He said the incident was reported to police, but Nicholson Concrete was good about it absorbing the Huron County Crimestoppers loss. The works superintendent says what appeared to be two sets of footprints walking together (youths or teenagers) were imprinted through the damaged stretch of fresh con- crete, along with a bicycle's tires tracks, finishing with a swerve. He estimates the incidents might have cost the company in the neighbour- hood of 3600, for the reform- ing and another pouring of concrete. Forest also noted, when later elaborating on the van- dalism to this paper, that the company had a man on site until relatively late in,,the evening when the original concrete was first setting, so the incidents must have hap- pened later that night.
