'They say. noise fromn games at thehevy used baseball pak and «after-the-g ame beer paxtes» neyer lets ' Up. «We have'no life whatsoever,» resident James Priest told TowÏn operations committee Monda. He says the games run from 6:30 to l p.m. each weeknight, and from 8 a.m. to il p.m. on weekends. «We -have to listen to con- tinuai, top- of-the-lung shouting, hooting, wlusthing... «We cannot enjoy a qiýit cup of coffee on a Sunday morning on our patio... (or) even eat a meal in peace.» Priest says his wife has had to start taking prescriptiondruffs to help cope with the stress "oY the excessive noise in the area; something she's never done, in her life." " If you had a neighbour who entertained 50 or 60 screaining screeching people every. night o# the week,>and ail day Saturday and Sundq, wt 60. 1,000-watt buibs blazmir in your window, rým sure youd be sitting in this chair 'as 1I am,. tryin~ to get somethingdone aboutit.» Construction on Anderson St. has,. mznade the situation - even- worse, says Priest. Residents are-'lo ociiè about activity taking place i the woods behind theïr hornes.,, 1Priest tells -of fires being deli- berately set - at least three -- trees beingpulled down and snapped off, dg paraphernalia. left in the streain andl garbage being strewn about. He says residents have found firecracker wrappers, the after- math of bonfires, coke cans full of g as and even a. molotov cock- tail hidden under a sheet of plastic. Ideally, Priest says residents would like to see the park moved to a different area, since «this1 hall park was really. dumped on us; it should neyer have been placed in a residential area.» He suggests itý could be repla- ced by a newarena, perhaes built by a private develpr ftei Town would seIl the land a réduced rate.
