Page A10 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, February 24, 1993 Vandalism figures show a decrease TERRACE — Just short of its first anniversary, the local Vandal Watch campaign has given out five awards totalling $500. Vandal Watch operates a con- fidentiat phone line offering awards for information leading. to. the arrest and convictions of those responsible for acts of vandalism. Four. of the awards were for windows broken in downtown businesses and the fifth for vehicle windows broken downtown. Those involved with Vandal Watch also note that the number of reported acts of vandalism has dropped between 1991 and 1992. “There were 664 incidents reported in 1991 and in 1992 there were 557 reports. That's a decrease of 107 incidents,’ said Constable Kim Hall, the RCMP dctachment’s community policing officer. One_ other incident is working its way through the system and an award will be paid if’ there is a conviction, she said, Vandal Watch co-chair Doug Smith said the committee over- secing the program is happy with the results, “The object of the program was to see a decrease in vandalism in _ the community, And while we don’t pretend that. Vandal Watch has been totally responsible, we do believe Vandal Watch has had something to do with it,”’ he said. “There’s been a lot of promo- © tion and a lot of talk about the phone number and some people |- have taken a second look. They’ve thought about it and have walked right by without committing an act of vandalism,” Smith added, He said that donations by the business community have kept the award fund healthy. Vandal Watch has also become involved. in acts other than vandalism.. — It is offering an award’ for in- formation ‘from an incident last “fall which destroyed a home and business on Dobbie St. in Thorn- hill. This year, the program — in conjunction with . Terrace firefighters — established a reward. for information on the Jan. _.19.. fire. which. destroyed businesses on Kaium St. The Vandal Watch phone num- ber is 635-5556. Callers are given a file number and their identity i is kept a secret. . Doug Smith FALSE: Once a person is suicidal, he Is suicidal forever, TRUE: Happily, individuals who wish to kill themselves are “suicidal” only for a limited period of time. if they are saved from self- ‘destruction, they can go on to lead useful lives.
