Per Webster, the word whine

(OE whinan akin to ON hvina) is defined as: 1. a prolonged high pitched

cry usually expressive of distress or pain. 2: a complaint uttered with

or as if with a whine.

Who is whining? The facts are

that last year some residents of Golf View Drive did ask the city authorities

for help in calming the traffic on our residential and neighborhood street.

When measures were taken, petitions

and verbal inputs by outsiders were presented in city council meetings,

resulting in the removal of many of the measures put in place.

To my knowledge, no organized,

continued effort or whining in opposition to the final resolution is being

conducted by Golf View Drive residents. In true democratic fashion we

have accepted the wisdom of our elected city council's bowing to the will

of the outsiders.

It seems that Mr. Poffenberger's

whining was misdirected. He apparently has an issue with law enforcement.
