KUCHING: Kuching City North Commission (DBKU) has spent more than RM200,000 to replace stolen drain covers, fences and other vandalised public properties.

Kuching City North mayor Datuk Abang Abdul Wahap Abang Julai said the drain covers and fences made of metals were stolen as they were of high value.

Vandalism and thefts of public properties have been a disturbing problem and we spent over RM200,000 last year to undo the damage.

However, we have seen a downward trend and hope for zero vandalism through our community engagement programme and through educating people to respect public property, he told The Borneo Post recently.

He said they had replaced lamp posts at Reservoir Park and Museum Garden, signage as well as railings in areas under DBKUs jurisdiction.

He said the commission had resorted to replacing metal drain covers and steel fences with composite materials.

We replaced drain covers, signage and railings with composite materials which have no value so people are not interested to steal them, he explained.

They identified a few areas such as Semariang and Kampung Gita where vandalism was rampant. However, through engagement with the community and use of composite materials, there had generally been a downward trend in vandalism activities.

He also called on the public to work with the commission to look after and respect public properties to achieve its zero vandalism target.

LIBERTY COUNTY, Texas -- A Tornado Warning was issued for parts of Liberty County after a storm spotter reported seeing a funnel cloud, emergency officials said.

Some residents reported that their fences were knocked down along with some trees. KHOU11 viewer Brandi Wagner said her pickup was damaged when a large part of a tree fell outside her home.

There were no reports of major damage, however, and the Tornado Warning was allowed to expire about an hour later.

It all started around 11:30 a.m. Friday. The Liberty County Office of Emergency Management said troopers spotted a possible tornado near FM 1008. It was seen moving along 321 near FM 1008 not far from Dayton.

The tornado was over a wooded area.

"There were no reports of damage from the tornado that touched down earlier. We're basically asking folks to monitor the media, and if people can, they need to seek out strong shelter," said Tom Branch with Liberty County OEM.

Keeping children safe without making schools look like prisons is proving to be a challenge for Prince Georges County officials.

For example, a plan is under way to place six-foot-high, chain-link fences around temporary trailers at all county schools to protect classes from outsiders. Unfortunately, University Park officials and residents were unaware of the plan, which not only may have violated the towns fence ordinance, but was also criticized for making the school site look like a correctional facility.

As a result, the fence being constructed at University Park Elementary School was halted when it was nearly complete to give officials time to determine whether it meets town code.

First, lets start by lauding school officials for being aggressive in doing what they feel is best for students. While security measures have been beefed up at all county schools, concerns have lingered about easy access to the temporary classrooms, which arent attached to the main buildings. The fences are intended to better secure those structures. Sixty-two schools are slated to get the fences, which will cost up to $20,000 per school.

We want to set up an environment where [children] dont have to worry about outside influences, Rex Barrett, the school systems acting director of security services, told Gazette reporter Alice Popovici.

However, the school systems plan suffers largely in one area: the lack of coordination with the community.

Had better communication been in place, perhaps the school system would have known about University Parks four-foot limit on fences.

And perhaps parents, officials and the community at large would have proposed other affordable measures that would allow for security without bringing a penitentiary-like appearance.

Some parents voiced concern that the fence would trap children if an emergency occurred. Clearly, school officials have some work to do in communicating their efforts. Explaining how the security measures will work in various scenarios may allay some fears for parents and children or result in some better options.

Its sad that schools are no longer the safe refuge they were once considered. Dangers from people in and outside schools have forced officials to rethink how schools are managed, constructed and monitored.

Apparently time does heal all wounds.

On Wednesday, Vancouvers News 1130 reported the Canucks made contact with pending UFA center Dave Bolland, who appears to be at a contractual impasse with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Bolland, of course, has quite the history with Vancouver.

A thorn in Vancouvers side during his time as a Hawk he has 17 points in 16 career playoff games against the Canucks Bolland infamously ripped Daniel and Henrik Sedin during a Chicago-based radio appearance three years ago, which sparked a war of words between the organizations.

Heres what then-head coach Alain Vigneault and d-man Kevin Bieksa said after Bolland called the Sedins sisters and suggested they share bunk beds.

Vigneault:

Theyve both been probably two of the best players in the NHL for the last five years, theyve won a gold medal, and they are really involved in the community. They are great examples for players in the NHL, and for young people. They are just two great young people.

When you have comments like Bollands, hes obviously an individual whose IQ is probably the size of a birdseed. And he has a face that only a mother could look at.

Youre talking about two players who play with integrity, they play the right way, that are great examples of everything this game stands for. Then you have a birdseed like that making comments.

Lucky his mother loves him.
