In 2005, Zachary residents launched a grassroots campaign to restore the Zachary Public Cemetery, located at La. Highways 64 and 964.

The Zachary Rotary Club spearheaded the effort, and with the help of local clubs, organizations and individuals, $30,000 was generously donated in funding for the cemetery's restoration project.

One of the renovations included having a wrought iron fence erected around the cemetery. In August, it was discovered that a section of the fence had been badly damaged.

Several Rotarians have filed a police report with the Zachary Police Department and are asking anyone with information on who is responsible for the damage to please call 225-937-4443.

The fence sustained an estimated $1,000 in damage, said Det. Ty Stephens, ZPD. Anyone witnessing the vehicle or person(s) responsible is urged to also call 654-1905.

Stephens said the damage was discovered on Aug. 14 but is unknown when it actually ocurred. Several panels of the fence were ruined.
