Young teens suspected

Graffiti mars daycare

THE MANAGER of Paces Daycare says she was shocked
to get a phone call from Terrace RCMP tarly Monday
moming April 1.

And Tracey Beler was even more shocked when she
showed up at work to find graffiti Sprayed on the back out-
side wall of Paces.

Using a can of red spray paint someone scrawled
uF Indien fags’’ — using that exact poor spelling.

They also painted a swastika, and a circle with an A”?
in it, the symbol for adultery.

ie really shocked,”’ Beler says. "I was not pleased
ata ad . . . “

School board maintenance workers had removed the
graffiti by Monday afternoon, and Beler says none of the
parents who go to school at Paces were even aware it had
been there.

‘We have a variety of cultures here,’ she says. ‘‘And it
would have been upsetting for them.’’

She says there are about 20 native parents in the class-
room and eight children, and she didn’t want to make a big
deal out of what had happened.

Two slogans were also painted on the north and West

outside gymnasium walls at Caledonia. They were
removed and the walls painted over.

The vandalism apparently happened on Saturday
afternoon March 30.

A woman who lives on Labelle Street, behind the
schools, said she left her home for about an hour and half
that aflernoon. When she returned, she said she noticed the
graffiti and called the RCMP.

Constable Gary Swanson says there are no witnesses to
the incident, but he doesn’t think it's an isolated thing.

‘In the past year there’s been graffiti painted on the lig-
uor store, the Bank’ of Commerce and the Kalum tennis
courts,” he says. What was painted on Paces, Swanson
says, Was worse though.

Judging from the height of where the slogans appear on
the walls, he figures young teenagers are probably
responsible.

Paces is located beside the R.E.M. Lee Theatre building
on Straume. The Paces program is for teen mothers who
need daycare assistance so they can finish their studies.

Paces has been in existence for some years but the build-
ing itself is brand new,

SPRAY PAINT was used to place racist graffiti on the back of the Paces Daycare
on Straume. Included was a swastika and a symbol used by some to indicate
adultery. Symbols were also sprayed on nearby Caledonia Secondary.
