upwind and trade winds blowing, those individuals started to complain; and he called me up and <br />he asked me, you know, what can I do. You know, he felt that he’s entitled to go along and do <br />what he’s doing because he was there first and the zoning permits him to do it under Agriculture. <br />I told him, you know, what you’re doing is appropriate with the zoning, you have no need to <br />worry. So, in essence, what actually happened was those who were really, who were concerned <br />about that and who could not live with that environment had to move away; and he had this in <br />several areas in his community.
