Plant Sale braves weather
The Amherstburg Fort Malden Horticultural Society’s annual plant sale was last Saturday at G.L. Heritage Brewing Co. Despite cool temperatures and rain at points throughout the day, volunteers helped serve the customers that dropped by. AFMHS president Janice Emery said members contributed from their own gardens with the society also getting a boost thanks to donations from Paradise Nursery. They are now preparing for the June 8-9 Garden Tour.
Noise bylaw exemption granted, neighbours voice concerns By Ron Giofu A noise bylaw exemption and waiver of fees was granted for Royal Canadian Legion Br. 157 but it was the noise issue in particular that has neighbours concerned. The issue of outside entertainment and the volume thereof was the subject of three delegations before Amherstburg town council Monday night, and while council agreed to the exemption, council members did urge all parties to work together on the ongoing issue. The Legion was granted a noise exemption to allow music Friday and Saturday nights from
6-10 p.m. and Sundays from 2-6 p.m. Gary Wellman, joined by his wife Carmelina, appeared before council with Gary noting they have appeared before on the matter.

Noting noise exemptions have been granted in previous years, Wellman believed there was a “corresponding obligation” not to abuse it if there are inconvenience to others. “It’s not every performance, but it’s the majority of the performances,” said Wellman. “The fact they can perform
without excessive noise on occasion, based on the bands they have chosen to play there or the volume they have the bands play at, says to me they can control excessive noise from their patio but for some reason they don’t seem to be able to or want to or be able to control the bands to do that.” Wellman recalled an acoustical engineer was hired by the town during the last term of town council, and said that person “was shocked at the volume of noise that is received at our point of reception.” He added town council tried to place a limit on volume, which he said

exceeded 100 decibels. Wellman said the engineer stated that exceeded the decibel level under the flight path near Toronto’s Pearson Airport. “We have had this going on for years. The thought of expanding it to three days from two days just adds more aggravation to what we’re experiencing,” said Wellman. A limitation to decibel levels was subject of a presentation to council by administration, with Wellman recalling it not being enforced due to a lack of equipment and training, plus additional man hours.
