Really you can’t. So, and Nancy I am sorry, I have to say this, did the Nutters charge you for riding <br />your horses on their property? (overlapping conversations) <br /> <br />Tom Brown: Excuse me, one person speaking at a time. This is not a conversation. <br /> <br />Judy Mitchell: I’m sorry. I think they have bent over backwards to help their neighbors, to be neighborly with them. I <br />just feel that it is very sad that the neighbors have to pick on them the way they’re doing. <br /> <br />Tom Brown: Would you like to respond Ms. Oglesby. <br /> <br />Nancy Oglesby: May I make a response? <br /> <br />Tom Brown: Yes <br /> <br />Nancy Oglesby: Well I agree that this is a really sad situation. I’d like to point out that the fish kill happened in early <br />June before there was any drought and that there can be multiple reasons for a fish kill. In our case this was the only <br />one we could find. I want to say too that I am not against the ag center or against my neighbors. I know that my house <br />is more impacted than yours and I am really glad for you, I am really glad for you that you are not as impacted as we are <br />and I don’t think we’re talking about just permission for bands twice a year. If you want to sign a contract with me saying <br />we promise we will only have bands twice a year and everything else, there will be no more bands, we could talk about <br />that but my understanding about what we’re talking about here is that the ag center wants the right to have a band <br />whenever they want. That the business of the ag center is expanding. People are talking here about giving the ag <br />center carte blanc to do whatever they want. <br /> <br />I am more than happy to negotiate, I would love it if before there is an amended use permit or any decision, if we, our <br />neighborhood and the ag center group could go to arbitration at the dispute settlement center and try to come up with <br />some understandings. I am not trying to hurt anybody. I just don’t want to have to leave my home. I agree, if I know in <br />advance there is going to be a party and I know I can go, I would love to go over there for a couple of hours but I don’t <br />want to go hang out where there’s loud music from noon to six and when I don’t know its happening or if I’ve planned to <br />have people over myself. I just don’t want to characterize this as us against them. We are not against anybody. We <br />really like you guys, we want the ag center to be successful like I said I would think that it would be easy to raise money <br />for dogs without having speakers and amplifiers. Why can’t they make it the acoustic? Why can’t the music be inside? <br />I am not adamantly against anything. I just like to have a little bit of negotiation and a little bit of quiet on the days that <br />things get really loud. <br /> <br />Tom Brown: Thank you. Mr. Harvey, we have…. <br /> <br />Michael Harvey: W. Chapman. <br /> <br />W. Chapman: Same thing <br /> <br />Michael Harvey: Tammy Jordan. <br /> <br />Tammy Jordan: I wanted to state the fact that they have brought a very multiple beauty to this whole county. People <br />don’t realize the importance of what they serve. They’re the most considerate people you would ever know of. I know <br />because they’ve known me since I was knee high to a jackrabbit practically. I don’t know how to explain it but I just feel <br />like people who cannot live with a slight bit of a party at least a few times a year or even ask them or get their <br />confirmation of it about what is going to be taking part. Why does that seem so against your orders? Why does it seem <br />so against it? Because they are not causing an ounce of disturbance whatsoever. <br /> <br />I’ve had plenty of… my husband and I are farmers, we raise chickens and we live in even a smaller area than you do <br />because where we live is a trailer park; the one my father started in 1959. First tenant was Rufus Edisto and I
