The crusher started <br />operating three minutes ago. <br />On Wednesday, the United Companies representative finally condescended to <br />speak to my father and asked us to be patient with them, things would improve. <br />Our neighbors and we have been told so many different things since this <br />nightmare started, it"s hard to sift through it all. <br />This "reputable company" (YOUR words) is, in my opinion, embarking on a <br />campaign of harassment. Todd tried talking to Sprague on the 25th, asking him <br />why they were working at 5:30 AM, waking up people, and working some days over <br />14.5 hours and they had a verbal fight. Shortly after that Sprague came here <br />to tell us not to worry. <br />I work in a prison, bit I feel more a prisoner here, in my own home. The <br />noise and dust (and it's been a very windy spring) are such that we have to <br />keep our windows closed. We can"t work outside or even sit and enjoy the <br />rapidly disappearing view of the mountains. We can"t hang out our clothes. <br />We can"t wash windows. We can"t hear the birds sing. We can"t leave any of <br />our vehicles next to the house for fear the paint and windows will be pitted. <br />In your public hearing I asked you if the 200 feet distance meant driveway and <br />anything else that they disturbed and you answered yea. Come measure. The <br />tc•ees are not yet in. They moved the neighborhood mailboxes without the Post <br />Master's permission, causing us more inconvenience because we missed cur pap~;r <br />deliveries when the carrier couldn"t see them. <br />Sprague's response to Todd was, "You can't tell me how to run MY business. <br />I'm sick of you people complaining. And Mr. Dillie is tired of your letters <br />and calls too!" <br />Is this true, Mr•. Dillie? You are an Environmental Protection Specialist and <br />our environment is NOT being protected. <br />To top it off, I"m scheduled for major surgery on Thursday, June 2 with a <br />recuFeration period of up to four weeks. Rtring that time I am supposed to <br />rest and take walks to build up my strength. You tell me how I'm going to <br />accomplish that when we"re being assaulted with noise and dirt morning, noon <br />and night? <br />cerel L ~~~` <br />~cz <br />ice E. Becker <br />
