Thank you, Young Offenders Act. The parents? My wife tried that after a particu- larly nasty incident, and was met with more or less a shrugging of the shoul- ders. My biggest annoyance about all this, beyond the ing, but is the heart of the village, in front of the gen- eral store, on the road or sidewalks really the right place? Does this'even need to be an issue? Two things can happen, beginning with the banning of skate- boards on community roads and sidewalks. Or, some of the parents in the tion of safety, both theirs and that of the drivers of the cars and trucks pass- ing through the village. The skateboarders wear no protective headgear, no elbow pads, no reflec- tive clothing; yet there is an expectation by the teens that they are easily seen by oncoming drivers. Understand it-goes fur- or public property, or excessive noise, or dis- turbing of the peace. Perhaps then the vil- lage could be what it once was.
