other down the street going south on MacKenzie. One in one lane, one in the other lane. Both
<br />of them going south. Okay, that was... and these are stories from my neighbor. And like I said, I
<br />don't know a whole lot of their stories until I talk to them. You can talk to them, and they can
<br />tell you what's been going on here and there, and, you know, we've got the cars backfiring. You
<br />know, all the young punks with their... not all the young punks, but some of them with their
<br />cars backfiring. I don't want to include everybody. You know, their cars backfiring and stuff.
<br />And, you know, needless to say, it's, like, really annoying. We've been here 30, 40, 50, 77 years.
<br />You know, and like I said, when Mike was here, we had no problem. And I talked to Jen Scofield,
<br />and she did say, well, we can get an officer to you, and I said, okay, fine, they can sit in the
<br />driveway. But almost every neighbor said, they can sit in my driveway, they can sit in my
<br />driveway, he can sit here. Well, that lasted for about three weeks, which was nice. Okay,
<br />I'm ... thank you very much for that, Jen. But, you know, that lasted for three weeks, and, of
<br />course, the people don't see the cops sitting there anymore, so it's like, well, okay, I can do
<br />whatever the heck I want. So basically, that's where we're at. I don't know if I have four minutes
<br />and 59 seconds left, or if somebody else wants to say what's going on with them or whatever,
<br />but it's basically the speed and no regard for anybody... I mean, you pull out of the driveway,
<br />you look down the street, there's not a car in sight. Next thing you know, they're right on your
<br />rear end. Right? I mean, they're flying down the street, and so...
<br />Council President Brossard:
<br />Thank you. [speaking to audience] We don't talk from that way; we only speak at the podium.
<br />Could you please spell your name for the record?
<br />Ms. Cehelnik:
<br />Yeah, C-E-H-E-L-N-I-K.
<br />Council President Brossard:
<br />All right, thank you.
<br />Ms. Cehelnik:
<br />Okay? It's just a matter of time before somebody's going to get killed. You know, and we've
<br />gone... How many times have we heard this over the years? We'll put the stop sign up now,
<br />now that little Sally got killed, now we'll put the speed sign up, and the car's going through
<br />people's living room windows, what, two or three times in Lorain, Elyria, whatever that was, the
<br />same house. So we just don't want that happening on our street. You know, and we're just...
<br />great people here, lovely people, and everybody's so kind. There's not one person sitting here
<br />that would be an idiot. They all would listen to everybody, and everybody would listen to their
<br />stories, and everybody wants to help everybody out. This is how we roll. So thanks.
<br />Council President Brossard:
<br />Thank you.
<br />Mayor Jones:
<br />Mr. President?
