ATV/UTV/Golf Carts/child’s electric cars… you must be 12 for ATV, 16 for UTV, those ages require a safety class certification on your person and a helmet is suggested. Under 16 must have an adult present. child’s electric car IS NOT PERMITTED ON THE STREET. Golf carts are not permitted on the street unless your village allows it. NO ONE under the age of 16 is allowed to drive on a public street without a licensed adult present. Apparently, the police here in the village don’t know the WI code for this as Sgt. Smartmouth didn’t when he returned my call yesterday about two children (elementary age) riding on Broadway in a small ATV/child’s car at 2:30 in the afternoon. He was more concerned with letting me know through his obvious attitude/ tone of voice “HE” had more important things to be doing. However, he did know enough to thank me for my opinion in his smart-ass tone of voice. I just want to know where “the heck” our Chief of Police is. I haven’t seen “hide nor hair” of him inside the village limits anywhere for weeks. The council may also want to change the police websites. Those list, our “deceased for many years” previous chief. It would also be nice if a person answered the phone during the day. Getting a recording at the police number is not good. I doubt someone would take a return call if they had initially called about being beaten, choking, heart-attack, or fire, well you get the picture. Perhaps it is time to attend village meetings and begin asking questions about all the $$ spent in the police department and no “seen” coverage being rendered. I am 100% “back law enforcement” but not the sit-on-your-butt in the office, run radar outside the village limits, hide at the dump or waste station, or do bar checks from the bar stool kind of enforcement. I will say our village is quiet and peaceful with little crime for which I am grateful. It would be that way without all the bells and whistles anyway.
Rant over
Ponder… “Who is it but God who rescues us from the many perils which surround us.? Who enables us to overcome so many difficulties? How many times should we have died if he had not sustained us?”
Know you are prayed for.
