Correction: A previous version of this story inaccurately stated that the flyer distributed to residents was written and distributed by Center Township resident. The resident was not involved in writing or distributing the flyers.Both sides of a continued debate regarding noise levels at the Starlight Drive-in erupted during the public comment section of Tuesday's Center Township supervisors agenda-setting meeting.Over the summer, the drive-in hosted a series of concerts and other events, during which residents said the volume was too loud.“When my doors and windows are closed and the air conditioner is on, and I can still hear the music, it's too loud,” said resident Mary Angert. “I don't care that they're having concerts. Get the noise level down.”Flyers were distributed this week to neighbors encouraging residents to show up and speak at both Tuesday's meeting and Wednesday's regular board meeting.“There should not be any concerts on a weeknight or a Sunday,” said resident Suzy Wilson. “Leave it for a Friday or Saturday.”But other residents said they did not have an issue with the noise, and they encouraged the concerts to continue because they help stimulate the local economy.“I don't know why, but we don't seem to have a problem,” said resident Donna Steinheiser. “I'm supporting small businesses. I think we should show a little neighborly generosity.”Anthony Greibel, general manager of the Holiday Inn Express, said the concerts have been essential for the hotel's survival.“These concerts have helped out majorly,” Greibel said. “I have no complaints. I just wanted to show my support.”John and Beth Manson, owners of the drive-in, spoke in their own defense, hoping that their neighbors understood they were Center Township residents who employ local people.“If it weren't for these shows, we'd have gone bankrupt,” John Manson said. “That's putting food on these peoples' tables.”He said the drive-in employed an average of 37 people this season, which does not include the outside vendors that brought staff to events and concerts.“The hotels are getting business. The restaurants are getting business,” John Manson said. “It's not just the drive-in that's benefitting from being open.”During public comment, Wilson said she had a phone application that registered over 100 decibels of volume during the concerts. After the public comment portion, John Manson showed supervisors different decibel levels he registered on his own phone app.Brian Drusky, owner of Drusky Entertainment, said he was responsible for bringing many of the events to the drive-in.“I'm not trying to be a bad person. I'm trying to keep working with everybody to keep everybody happy,” he said.Drusky said the volume has been significantly turned down since the first event. He said if the venue reduces the volume too far, then it will affect the experience the customers will have.“The lower it gets, the more inaudible it gets to the audience,” he said. “Sound is a very weird thing. It's not as black and white as people think it is.”While there were many people at the meeting in support of the drive-in — some employees wore their company shirts — there were many who complained about the volume and material from the events.Christina Caruso took a sound recording on her phone and shared it with the supervisors.“All the Americans are (expletive) disgusting,” can be heard being spoken at one of the events.Caruso said it was unacceptable for her family, which includes two young children, to hear such sentiments.“I should not be able to hear swear words inside my house,” she said. “We are all tired of being disturbed.”Resident Miranda Clark DiMaria said she is a former district attorney, and she supported any ordinance the board could produce that would include restrictions and a process for grievances.“It's been a very, very quiet neighborhood,” she said. “It's altogether different this summer.”Drusky said he would work to lessen vulgar material in the future, but he pointed out the way his employees and those at the drive-in have been treated.“There's been numerous times when residents have come down and threatened my employees,” Drusky said. “There's people who came down in the middle of the night to destroy his drive-in. I don't think anyone appreciates violence.”Beth Manson said some of what was said at the meeting was not true.“We're here to find a solution,” she said.Board Chairman Ron Flatt said a solution could not legally be made Tuesday night.“We will not vote on this issue tonight, nor will we tomorrow night,” he said.After drafting an ordinance, a municipality must advertise a public hearing for the ordinance in local media at least 30 days beforehand, after which they can make a decision.Supervisor Ed Latuska said a few options have been crafted, and they are under review. He said the board could vote on the advertisement of the public hearing in November, which would set the ordinance to be decided upon in December at the earliest.“It's not going to solve your problem right now,” he said. “We can't do anything about it this year.”
