it's called respect People in this country have lost that. Get to know your neighbors.Go over and help them from time to time with projects. In most cases we don't need a 3rd party to solve a problem. We were all young once

I agree.....there is a loss of common courtesy and "respect". I also agree that most cases can be resolved amicably.....but there are cases where a "3rd party" such as the police armed with a proper noise ordinance are necessary to keep the safety and peace that most seem to take for granted here in the town of Cornwall. I hope you can make it to the hearing tomorrow night.

Gerry, I would love to attend but I don't live in Cornwall anymore. I was born in Cornwall Hospital and lived in Cornwall up to 1976. I still consider Cornwall my home town and still care about how things are going even if I only get back once a year. I'm still not use to the traffic light on Main and Willow. Good luck tomorrow night My best to all

To the Town of Cornwall,
Thank you for a nice turn out at the Town Hall meeting held on November 9th. Our voices were heard about our feelings against the Noise Ordinance. However, we need EVERYONES support in it not to be passed. While I feel for Mr. Wagner and his unfortunate situation, this law is too subjective in its wording. As it is stated the law would prohibit ?noise that a reasonable person of normal sensitivities would not tolerate.? Who determines who is a reasonable person? What is normal sensitivities? I enjoy my music level at 10, my wife likes 5. Will my dogs barking at 7am before we head out to work be beyond someone's tolerance? How can I shovel or snow blow my driveway before I need to get to work? I get the feeling from attending this meeting our town board officials have already made up their minds. This law is going to be passed. I urge you all to speak out against it.

I agree that tonight served the community well no matter what your position on the ordinance. I support many of the concerns stated and am pleased that I was enlightened to many concerns from local business people. I hope, in turn, that those opposed see my efforts only as well intended. I want what is best for Cornwall and I am willing to live with whatever the majority of residents, and ultimately the Board, decide. I don't agree that the passing of this ordinance is in any way predetermined...especiallyafter tonight. Those opposing came out in force and many expressed solid concerns that I know the Board will consider. Tonight's meeting was Cornwall at it's BEST no matter what your viewpoint. THANKS to all!
