Students in the Chatham Middle School eighth grade humanities class gave an impressive presentation to the board of health last week, providing a compelling case for prohibiting smoking at town beaches.

Just imaging, they said, what the beach would be like during the busy summer months. And that's the town's premier children's beach!
