Again, know it all, there is soooo much substance in your comments. Maybe we should tear up all of the ball fields, soccer fields, rinks , ect. and let those kids stay home and be looked after by their parents as well. I think all of the readers really know who should get a life.....

These patrols should help curb the vandalism in the downtown area.

Really nice to see things happening in Amherst. Keep it coming. And on the skateboard part issues. Friends of my daughter were kicked out of a downtown parking lot over the weekend for skateboarding. On Sunday I was amused and saddenend all at the same time to see three young men, 13 yrs old maybe, skateboarding on the front sidewalk of a local Funeral Home. We need a skateboarding park desparately. And Kudos to the town for tearing up the brick, planting a tree, planting sod, and erecting signs beside downtown Tim Hortons.

I cant believe people are telling kids to skateboard in thier driveways. I mean even Sackville has skateboard park. My children are only 10 and 7 and I do all I can to make sure they have the things they need and as well make sure they are having fun and as well safe. Why is this such an issue? There seems to be money for everything else. Skateboarders are just having fun and I think its amazing the talet they have. Give them a break and build a park for them instead the beating them down all the time. So they dont chose to play baseball, soccer, or hockey, who cares. Let them have clean safe fun while they are young. Isnt it our responsibility as adults to make sure our youth are safe?
