In addition to all the news about the wonderful kids in Rye, there needs to be more attention to the roving bands of skateboarders, bikers, etc., who are menacing the local stores and citizens who speak to them. They are surly and use foul language when spoken to by store personnel or anyone trying to move their car, walk in their vicinity, etc. The parents should be made aware.
