One Sunday last summer when I went to Kuser Farm Gazebo to set up for my afternoon sing along, I saw the "artistry" of whomever it was who brought chalk to the park and proceeded to scribble pink, white, and blue graffiti all over the concrete dance floor. It was only chalk, but there were no sources of water nearby to wash the stuff off. A harmless prank, right? WRONG! As I sat on the steps of the gazebo, I also noted that some little darling took a black marker and wrote on the newly painted, newly restored wooden post on the gazebo steps. The township spent many man hours bringing that beautiful structure back to its original state! Vandalizing teens who choose to deface public property should be held accountable and their parents held responsible for the financial damage they have caused. I took many photos which clearly showed what they did along the edge of Kuser Farm Park in the area of the windmill. Spray paint on Rusling Paving's relatively new concrete buildings is an outrageous insult to Hamiltonians as is the damage they did to a very large cinder block structure adjacent to Rusling Paving's facility along the Kuser property on Loomis Avenue. Were I a judge, they would be given a tooth brush to clean off their anti social graffiti, or their parents would be fined in the amount it would take to bring the buildings back to their original state. There needs to be vigilance on the part of the community to thwart these anti social acts of vandalism that are becoming all too common in "America's Favorite Home Town."PUBLISH THE NAMES OF THE LITTLE DARLINGS AND WATCH THE VANDALISM DISAPPEAR!

- Unfortunately Sally, there are a number of miscreants running rampant in today's society, and their apologists are just as guilty as are the perpetrators. Tom Glover

- This site, the Kuser Farm, and buildings on it, seem very important to you and I'm sure to many. How disappointing. Is nothing precious anymore?

- KUSER FARM PARK IS NOT IMPORTANT TO JUST TO ME, BUT TO THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. IF THESE SENSELESS ANTI-SOCIAL ACTS OF VANDALISM ARE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE WITHOUT A CONCERTED EFFORT TO CATCH THESE BRATS, WE WILL CONTINUE TO COPE WITH BLACK SPRAY PAINTED TRAFFIC SIGNS, PRIVATE BUILDINGS, AND OTHER ACTS OF VANDALISM THAT JEOPARDIZE "AMERICA'S FAVORITE HOMETOWN."
