"Its unslghtly ýand cosa a great~ deal of time and money to dean up," she said. 'This one is the lateat and very visual diaplay of a not pleasant aspect of Our Society." Most of the damage was confined to..a partiaily-constructed sales office and nearby plaza on Treadgold Street, Longfield told The Free Press following the meeting. Varioua slogans - although no hate messages or racial slurs - were spray-painted on building walla by -a group apparently calling itself the "Otter Creek Boys," Lpngfield said. Although graffiti la not a new gr problem, the magnitude of this incident has Longfield concernai. "tjust sort of aprang up. This is différent tha the other stuif we're used to," she said. Councillor Dennis Fox warned hie colleagues to expect more of the same. ."At one time vandalism of this nature was only seen in the poorer area of big cities. Now it's happening ail over the community, in poor and rich areas," he said. According to Fox, parents leaving their children unsupervised is a contributlng factor to youth running afoul of the law. 'Xids being kids will gravitate towards trouble," he said. But wockty must also share some of the blame for what' Fox reluctantly termed "Generation ." "We're dealing with a group of young people who are extremely angry,"' said Fox, a special education teacher in downtown. Toronto. Faced with dismal job and education prospects, many young people will take out their frustrations at anything and anyone, said Fox, who was not enamored. by the Ontario government's attitude to this problem.ý "I'm concerned that we have a govenment cutting back on social programe and institutions," he said in referring to a centre for abusei children in Toronto which is slated to close. "These are the type of people and programs those ids deal with and if they don't have them to fali back* on, we WiIl only have more (problems)." As a father of five boys and someone involved in scouting and other youth activities, councillor Marcel Brunelle cautioned againat blaming ail young people for the actions of a few. "I think there are many good young people in this community. It only takes a few to spoil it for ail," he said. While he feit that sometimes "aàIl we need is mom and dad to check up on them," Brunelle agreed that the problem of youth alienation is a societal one. .With more 'and more children growing up in one-parent or r~iBROOKLIN PHARMACYM. 65 BALDWIN ST. e BROOKLIN e LOB iCO 905- 655- 3301 HeIp Through The- Exclusive breast-feeding of infants for the first six months of life is recommended to avoid common problems associated with infant feeding.
