Instead of printing fluff why don't you talk about Mr. Van Nortwick's article in the AHH. He addresses a serious public saftey concern. I along with Mr. Van Nortwick were horrified by the mob of sweaty, virile young men on the corner of Harmony and Route 35. We could not keep our eyes off them. I am sure Mr. Van Nortwick would agree that them holding their long signs and jumping up and down could distract any lonely driver.

anon 2:30 Sweaty virile young men? Jumpy up and down distracting everyone? Gee... wish I could have been there, I missed all the excitement. I'm surprised the police didn't come to arrest the mob.
Are you sure you were there, or were you dreaming? Maybe you need to lay off the booze or whatever meds you're on.
Mr. Van Nortwick aka Peter Carton, I think you're losing it.

About the September 18, 2011 at approximately 9:15 pm incident, those are really young people. 20-22 years of age using marijuana? That's awful.
