Neither!  It is the village of Westbury in Nassau County.  Other
towns have had propositions before but we have been able to quiet
conflict by going in to town meetings and presenting a logical
case.  Our "good Neighbor Policy" which has been copied across
the country helps.  We had one blow-up that was calmed after we
found that the little girl stung next to a beekeepers' back yard
had been swinging.  Investigation and duplication of the scenario
produced yellow jackets swarming out of a hole at the base of the swing.
Free extermination of the yellow jackets by the beekeeper stopped
any further action.
