Now hear this!
Mike Templeton lives in Delanco, N.J., along the Delaware River, home to all kinds of sounds.

"It shakes the windows in my house," he said.
Glen Foerd, underfunded by the city, relies on parties for its upkeep. The Glen Foerd Conservation Corporation has an exclusive contract with Conroy Catering.
Owner Jack Conroy and general manager Jennifer Berwick arrange wedding receptions, graduation parties, conferences and political events at the historic mansion.

We have Mike Templeton, a guy who lives along the riverfront in Delanco, N.J., and claims he can hear the noise and music of parties booked at Glen Foerd. We have Jack Conroy, the caterer who hosts these wedding receptions and parties at the grand Torresdale mansion, and claims he has really tried to appease Templeton.
And then we have state House Speaker John Perzel.
