Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor,

Hello, we’re newer residents and are blessed to be living here. It’s been a welcoming experience all around! However, we’ve noticed a concerning trend among some young men that we assume are residents here also that needs to be addressed as it can become a serious issue.

More than a couple of times now, we’ve experienced two local teenage boys in two different vehicles rolling down the windows and making lewd or inappropriate comments/gestures outside of town and abroad. In both instances, they were the driver with a passenger present.

I write in the hopes that the parents of the young men see this and give their children a lecture about the dangers of being irresponsible and disrespectful behind the wheel. Road rage, harassing pedestrians and inattentive or reckless driving can potentially harm them or innocent bystanders.

Thank you.

April Smith
