Newspaper Page TextPage 18 The INDEPENDENT, August 16, 2007 Did You Know… By Chief Mathew Workman Vernonia Police Department I hope t h a t everyone had an enjoy- a b l e 2 0 0 7 J a m - boree! During my foot patrols I had the opportunity to meet lots of peo- ple who all had great things to say about our community. From a law enforcement perspective the 2007 Jamboree was busy but we had no major incidents. Over the three day event, a to- tal of 34 officers assisted at one time or another, eleven reports were written by the VPD, around 12 arrests were made and close to 40 traffic stops oc- curred. All in all the 2007 Jam- boree was a safe event and most everyone stayed under control. As with any small communi- ty there are those residents and visitors who choose to not re- spect the property of others and to partake in senseless damage of property. Vernonia had four such incidents in the past two weeks. Someone chose to break several win- dows behind Washington Grade School and Vernonia Middle School. There was also a large amount of graffiti paint- ed in the men’s restroom at An- derson Park and on a sign owned by the Vernonia Ridge Riders. Someone also de- stroyed two hanging flower baskets on the Rock Creek Bridge, and lastly, someone drove their vehicle through the “Vernonia Welcomes You” ban- ner near the South entrance to town. Vernonia Pride is offering a reward for any information leading to the arrest of the sus- pect(s) in the hanging basket case. This type of senseless vandalism not only damages property but also the livability of our community. If you have any information on these cases you are encouraged to call the sta- tion at 503-429-7335, or you can email me at <chief@ ver- nonia-or.gov>. You can remain anonymous and any informa- tion is helpful. DON’T FORGET!!
