Angry notes take a shot at drinkers
People in the Wilkes-Barre's Heights section are told of a mysterious program that says it will respond to results of heavy drinking.

WILKES-BARRE - Up Sherman, and down Meade streets. Along a stretch of Northampton Street. The bizarre white fliers appeared tucked beneath windshield wipers and taped to some doors in the Heights neighborhood.

Bouncing between anger and sarcasm in tone, the unsigned flier that appeared Wednesday describes an "alarming rise in the number of worthless, alcoholic pieces of crap in the area," the word "worthless" underlined for emphasis.

The flier promises an unknown group called "ADVANCED AA" is on the way, "Helping you when you can't help yourself."

Described in the flier are these scenarios:

# "Where there is a man who has nothing better to do than wake-up, crack open a beer and proceed to beat his wife."

# "Where there are children that are scared of their own father due to the fact that all he does is drink and beat them."

# "Where there is a woman who chooses to buy a case of beer instead of food for her children."

# "Where there is a family that is falling apart because alcohol is more important than love."

Each scenario ends with the ominous phrase, "there we'll be..." - leaving the reader uncertain of just what "Advanced AA" intends to do....
