Hello Everyone,
Evelyn here,
I spent a great afternoon at the Mahaffey Theater watching Daniel Ulbricht and Friends: An Afternoon of Dance. It was a delightful way to spend as afternoon and the proceeds from the ballet goes to help fund dance students here in the Tampa Bay area.
I have here a excerpt from an article on the latest process on the battle to stop boom car drivers.

Turning off engines helps De Queen officers
Method saves gas and leads to discovery of noise violations
By: Jim Williamson - Texarkana Gazette - Published: 10/03/2008
Turning off the engines to their patrol cars has helped the De Queen Police
Department save gas and listen for loud noises.
To conserve gasoline, De Queen police started turning off the engines for
about one hour per 10-hour shift, said De Queen Mayor Billy Ray McKelvy. The
policy was implemented about two months ago.
When the patrol car engines were turned off, officers became attuned to
noises and have issued 19 citations for loud music in eight weeks.
The loud noise violations were created by car stereos...

Our Saint Petersburg Police Department could benefit from De Queen example.
Evelyn out.
