Before the busy beach season begins, Reality Check members counted the cigarette butts found on the shores of Sylvan Beach. They counted 117 butts. They will return at the end of summer to do another count.
They hope their efforts might help create a smoke-free Sylvan Beach for families visiting this popular spot. Pictured from left are Jordyn Camp, 17, of Eaton; Justine Sales, 16, of New Hartford; Victoria Hysell, 17, and Olivia Welsh, 17, both of Madison.
