LETTERS TO THE EDITOR We were seated behind the Trail bench and had a bird's-eye view of the heckling that went on during the entire game. These young players not only received heckling from the group of teenagers that were seated to the right of the players bench but also from a man in his 50s who was standing just to the left of the players bench. It was quite embarrassing and disgusting. The teenagers (led by a boy wearing an orange cowboy hat and glasses) thought they were pretty cool. They must be if the security guard (a native fellow) who was standing behind them was laughing at their antics. The feather in their cap which just added fuel to the fire was when a photographer asked them to continue heckling Trail so she could take their picture! It's no wonder kids don't have any respect for each other or visiting teams their peers pat them on the back and tell them what a good job they're doing or they turn a blind eye at the bullying and harassing and heckling that they are watching. Of course near the end of the game when the Trail bench had had enough they asked for security to be sent to their bench. Little did they know that a security guard had been standing there all night and did nothing to stop this young crowd from acting like idiots. I personally feel that this security person should be fired from his volunteer position because he obviously isn't fit to do the job he was hired to do. …(the writer goes on, but we will end here).
