Council orders destruction of noisy neighbour’s CD collection
MUSIC lovers were today warned to turn down the volume after a Cher and U2 fan admitted breaching a noise abatement order.
Karl Wiosna used to play songs by Cher and U2 so loudly neighbours could make out the lyrics.
Rhondda Magistrates fined the 44-year-old, of Phillip Street, The Graig, Pontypridd, £200 with £50 costs and a £15 victim surcharge.
His stereo, CDs and tapes were seized and destroyed.
After the case, Rhondda Cynon Taf council’s Cabinet member for environmental health, Mike Forey, said: “We are committed to responding to the concerns of our community, especially when it comes to issues that affect their quality of life.
“In this case, the swift and effective actions of environmental health officers enabled the issue to be dealt with and I hope it serves as a reminder to others that we can take them to court and seize their belongings if they do not cease causing a nuisance to others.â€
But defiant Wiosna said: “I didn’t play the music that loud and it wasn’t just Cher, I used to play heavy metal as well.

Get inside the Games with Google Maps
Can’t make it to Beijing? Now, you can follow the Summer Games no matter where you are. Explore stadiums in 3D, track medal counts, and view live sport results on Google Maps and Google Earth.
There’s a lot of cool stuff here, but I was surprised at how spread apart the events/stadiums are.

Obama Leads Among Christians
All types of Christians, according to a poll by the Barna Group, a Christian research and consulting firm. Obama’s adviser for religious outreach, Josh DuBois, e-mailed supporters with the findings.
According to Barna, Obama leads among 18 self-identified faith groups including Protestants, Catholics, non-Christians, athiests and agnostics and born-again Christians. McCain leads among evangelicals. Note: these descriptions don’t come from those surveyed; the Barna group asks a series of screening questions to get at the definitions of these tough terms.
