N EWS Salvation Army suffering vandalism By Xuyun Zeng Smithers/Interior News
A recent rash of crimes has cost the Salvation Army over $3,000. Since last month, it has suffered a break-and-enter, two dumpster fires and damage to its heat management system. “Last month, we had a break-and-enter, and so, that individual did some damage to my office and to our back door,” said director Rick Apperson. “Apparently two individuals had gained access to our roof, and they did some damage to our heat management system, putting stuff inside of it, taking off a relay switch so it didn’t operate.” “They even tagged it with ‘Michael was here’ and ‘NWA’.” Apperson added that repairs and upgraded security had cost them more than $3,000. However, Apperson said that police have not found much to follow up on. “They’ve investigated all of these different incidents. I know with the break-and-enter they did investigate,” said Apperson. “I don’t think they have any
leads at this time.” Apperson added that with the dumpster fires, nobody has seen anything. “So there’s a lack of witnesses in any of these events.” Apperson could not figure out why these people targeted the Salvation Army. “This is very new, we’ve never had these kind of issues before. I don’t know if it’s just kids who are bored on a Sunday afternoon,” Apperson said. “Three of the events happened on Sunday. The two dumpster fires and the individuals on our roof were all on a Sunday evening.” The dumpster fires happened at 7 p.m. three Sundays ago and at 5 p.m. two Sundays ago. “I don’t know if people are just bored or if there’s more of a targeted thing behind that.” In a press release, Smithers RCMP said the Terrace Forensic Identification Section examined the break-and-enter. Stolen gift certificates were returned by an anonymous female, but $100 cash and donation cheques stolen from a locked safe were The Salvation Army suffered property damage that still missing. Anyone with information is includes two dumpster fires and damage to their heat asked to contact the RCMP or management system and a break-and-enter. Chris Gareau photo Crimestoppers.

No More Backyard Dogs
A11
You see a dog tied day after day to a back porch or fence, lying lonely on a pad of bare, packed dirt. Abandoned, fed sometimes, mostly forgotten but chained up, it cannot move to comfort, shelter or companionship. Being alone goes against the dog’s most basic instinct.
A sad, lonely dog tied out back only suffers.
