Opposition to wind turbine = claptrap
Commentary by Frank Schroth
clap·trap Pronunciation: \?klap-?trap\ Function: noun : pretentious nonsense
In a front page story of last week’s Milton Times,Charles “Chick” Geilich, a partner with Quarry Hill Partners, says “his firm is greatly troubled by the plan [to erect a wind turbine]. ‘We are concerned,’ he said. ‘We think it will destroy the Blue Hills and it will destroy our business.'” The story goes on to say, “Geilich charged that the giant turbine would destroy the “beautiful vistas” enjoyed by patrons of the 27-hole golf course and its restaurant, the Tavern at Quarry Hills. Its very presence will ‘destroy’ the ambience of the setting, he said, while the noise, flicker and shadow it generates will be a distraction for golfers.”

An Editorial by Shareen Khatibloo, Tyee Middle School, Bellvue WA
I came across your article, and it got me thinking about teen drinking. So I did some research on this topic, and I have to say that I disagree with what you are stating in your editorial. I think that lowering the drinking age to 18 years old will not help this issue very much.
