Once again residents of the Harbour have suffered verbal assaults and property vandalism. Now, once again we must come together as a community to deal with these unjust, demoralizing, and costly attacks. Our own initiatives, communicating, community watch and reporting have been very effective in the past and I hope we will follow this path again to successfully deal with these offenders.
Stay safe, everyone. Contact me with your news at [email protected] for the Friday edition of the Coast Reporter.
