New sod vandalized at Sandquist Park



City asks that anyone with information to report it.

The freshly laid sod at Cambridge's new Sandquist Park was torn up by vandals.

The damage was discovered on Wednesday morning, Sept. 10,2008.

"Whoever is doing this is just taking away opportunities from our kids," said Cambridge City Administrator Lynda Woulfe. "The traveling football program may not be able to have home games because of this damage."

Cambridge Community Development Director Dave Carlberg echoed her comments, stressing that is is the Three Rivers Youth Football program which is being hurt by this vandalism. The fourth-, fifth- and sixth-grade players have their first home game scheduled for next Tuesday, Sept. 16 at the new field.

"The city can recover and restore and repair, but it's the kids' ability to play on the fields that was damaged," said Carlberg.

He asked anyone with information on the crime to please call either city hall at 763-689-3211 or the Isanti County Sheriff's Department at 763-689-2141.

"We want to find out who did this and bring them to justice."
