As the frigid weather continues in Beaver, the children of the snow appear to be gaining ground against their geriatric overlords.

Residents of Beaver were stunned this week after it was revealed Council President Joe Zagorski and Town Manager John Barrett have been acting as double agents for the snow children.

“It looks as if Joe and John were working in concert to provide comfort, aid, and hot chocolate, to the enemy” said Mr. Spector Gahget, an investigator with the town’s insurance carrier.

Borough Police have refused to take up arms against the children, leaving the geriatric overlords to fend for themselves.

An effort utilizing orange fencing to turn the town’s parks into giant playpens failed to contain the children, who simply walked around the barriers. Throngs of horrified elderly who had been observing the attempted playpenning were forced to flee as the children began removing batteries from their Hoverounds.

Richard Cheney, a security adviser hired by the Borough, has recommended the town allow the “snow terrorists” to run rampant this winter, and wait until spring thaw before taking additional action.

“I advised the Borough of Beaver to have their Garden Club plant several hundred jagger bushes in the Water Lot Park this spring” said Cheney “Then next winter, all it will take is just one snow terrorist getting an eye poked out, before the rest of them realize sled riding in Beaver is no longer an option.”
