Christopher Calhoun at his child’s grave.

  Vandalism is an ongoing problem for the Town of Superior. At the end of November Yvette and Christopher Calhoun child’s gravesite was vandalized. The couple, both hearing impaired, lost their child 10 years ago.

  Yvette’s mother Nancy Huarta says, “My daughter lost her child and went through so much pain.”

  The couple visits the grave often. The gravesite was fixed up and decorated specially and lovingly by a cousin, Richard Valdez.  In the past, someone stole the lights that decorated the grave. This time someone pulled apart a small fence that surrounded the gravesite. After the fence was pulled down, “we had to fix the fence with wire,” Nancy says. “I don’t know what to do, to stop the vandalism.”

  She can’t understand why someone would do such an awful thing and she wonders, “Why would someone hate so much?” and she feels that there is, “no love for one another anymore amongst the Superior people.”

  If you see any suspicious behavior or criminal activity, the police department asks you call 911.

The latest damage to the grave.
