Sound issues...good letter in the Lakeland Times

I have not written about the "dust up" between Minocqua bed-and-breakfast and bars over sound at night. I will post a link in a bit, but in the mean time here is a thoughtful letter that addresses the comprehensive issue related to sound in the northwoods. Decibel meters are PART of an overall strategy to reduce sound, but meters or no, governments will not enforce the rules until people appreciate that quiet is an important resource.
