"For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destuction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape." - 1 Thessalonians 5:3 James A. Farmer, Ashland Vineyard cannons are for the birds, cause resentment It is 6:30 in the morning and I have been awakened for the third day in a row by the sound of blasts. A call to the Ashland Police Department tells me that the sound is from cannons shot by the Ashland Vineyards and Winery to keep birds off of their grapes. City noise ordinances cannot apply to the winery because it is located just outside of the city limits even though the noise directly enters the city and affects the residents. I called the winery and the person who answered said that the cannons come on at sunrise. He said that he had lost grapes to the birds and needed the cannons to keep them away. He had no answer to the negative effect on the quality of life (and sleep) to the residents of his community. This is an example of a business moving into our community and then degrading our quality of life for its own profit. Our right to quiet and peaceful mornings is the consideration of the common space of a community. Any person or business moving into this community should move in with the agreement to maintain or enhance this quality. The choice of Ashland Vineyards to disrupt the quiet of Ashland in order to ensure their profits is an ill conceived choice and I urge Ashland residents to complain to the winery and boycott the purchase of products from the winery until they can find an alternative, compatible method to run their business.
