Bridge vandalism prompts reward: Cornell Plantations is offering a $500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the individual or individuals responsible for vandalism to Sackett Bridge and the surrounding area of the Cornell campus on July 4. The arched stone bridge at the east end of Beebe Lake is a memorial to Col. Henry Sackett, Cornell Class of 1875, who worked to preserve area gorges, and links trails through natural areas that are open to both the Cornell and Ithaca communities. The damage, which will cost an estimated $1,700 to repair, was reported July 5 by Forest Home residents and Cornell staff members. Anyone with information about the incident is urged to contact Cornell Police at 255-1111.
