«nt >>" "A Family Tradition for 132 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, Solutions sou From page 1 "We want to try to do something positive; some folks are not happy with just screaming at the kids; they want to help them out too. They have concern for these kids," said Sgt. Hudson. And the problems in the area, which include break and enters, vandalism, and intimidating people on the streets, are not being caused solely Blackstock teens, he added. "They're not all Blackstock kids that are causing the problems either. The kids go where the action is, and they know that Blackstock, right now, is where the fun is." One of the major areas of concern for everyone, Sgt. Hudson continues, is the "four corners" and the surrounding apartments and stores. "We have to look at those areas because that's where they hang out, make trou- ble, and intimidate resi- dents and customers," he said. "Maybe if we got parents to talk to their children or, if the problem persists, somehow close the areas off to them," he suggested, adding that the local youth centre should be re-intro- duced to them, and that perhaps a neighborhood watch system or support group could be set up. In the meantime, if the trouble continues, stricter penalties could be imposed by the police. "As part of the partner- ship we have talked to the Crown Attorney, and while they don't particularly like the idea, we may have to look at more serious charges for the worse acts," said Sgt. Hudson. "People want peace. They don't want kids run- ning around causing van- dalism and other unlawful acts. They're obstructing sidewalks and stores, and are a chronic problem. Criminal charges are a pos- sibility." Also in attendance at ght in Blackstock the meeting with Sgt. Hudson, Staff-Sgt. Mike Ewles, Rev. David Shearman, and other con- cerned citizens was Cartwright High School principal Tom Reed. "The high school in Blackstock is invariably concerned and we want to be involved in resolving the situation," said the principal. "We want to make Blackstock more hospitable for residents and a place where people can feel to enjoy themselves but not get into trouble." The school, he says, has Joined the group in hopes of exploring ways of solving the teen problems. "We've got to have some- thing in place for them to do, but we also have to enforce the laws of the road and the land. People don't want to be intimidated by these kids. "We have to do some- thing now before it gets out of hand and the kids are free all summer." because of this, However, all spending. this year lose $440,000 $6 and of taxes (called PILs) $563,000 in would need to be found. final requirements ing are known.
