Ghouls, Goblins or Worse in our Cemetery?

At the September 17th. Woodbridge Town Council meeting, one of the township's most noted public advocates, who is also a candidate for the 1st. Ward's town council seat, Mr. John Vrtaric  (aka, John the barber), brought a matter of grave (no pun intended) to the attention of the council and the public.

Initially Mr. Vrtaric's commentary about dead animals (goats, allegedly) have been found warped in white sheets, on two recent but separate occasions, in one of the township's oldest cemetery's  was belittled by the township's Business Administrator (BA).  Shortly after a childish rebuke of Mr. Vrtaric's questioning of the township's knowledge of the incident, the BA was suddenly forthcoming and stated the matter was in fact real and was under police investigation.  Thereupon, the BA inferred Mr. Vrtaric might receive a visit from the WPD, which he did the very next morning.

After the incidents were confirmed to have transpired at the cemetery (reportedly, the White Church cemetery), the BA offered no further commentary as to whether similar incidents have been reported at other cemeteries in the township.  The BA also did not offer any commentary as to whether there is reason to believe these acts were committed by a misguide person or persons pulling a disgusting prank or, in a more serious scenario, are some sort of satanic ritual. Obviously, the latter either scenario would be of much greater concern to the public, especially with Halloween so close at hand.

In either scenario, the individual(s) involved in these incidents are in the need of counseling and, perhaps, criminal prosecution.  In that connection, it is asked that anyone with knowledge of the incidents contact the WPD.  It is our community, let's help our PD keep it safe!
