[Mpls] Whiners, Winners and Losers

[Ron Lischeid]

Every time the topic of airport noise and the home insulation program around 
MSP is discussed on this list, there are those that accuse the area 
residents of just being whiners and suggest that they should just suck it up 
and take it like a adult.  Depending on where your house is located, you are 
either a 'winner' or 'loser'.  And depending on your viewpoint, NWA is also 
viewed as a 'winner' or a 'loser'.

Tonight you will have the opportunity to actually see what citizen whiners 
look like and sound like as they assemble at the SMAAC Fall Forum.  SMAAC 
(South Metro Airport Action Council) is the sibling organization to R.O.A.R. 
and holds a Spring and Fall Forum each year to provide public forums on 
topics related to noise and other pollution-related issues created by the 
operations at MSP and the impact these have on the area residents.

Jeff Hamiel, Executive Director of the Metropolitan Airports Commission 
(MAC) will address the topic "Airport Noise, Then, Now and Then", a review 
of the history of noise issues at MSP, current activities related to the 
creation of new noise contour maps and a 'look into the crystal ball' as the 
new runway comes on line and the airlines recover from 9/11.

The Fall Forum is held at the Windom Community Center, 5821 Wentworth Ave So 
(just south of 58th Street between Nicollet and Lyndale) starting at 6:30 
p.m. and lasting until 9:00 p.m.  Refreshments will be served.  We will be 
meeting in the Multi-Purpose room on the lower level of the Park Board 
portion of the building.  We will be distributing complimentary copies of 
the Fall newsletter which are hot off the presses last Friday.
