In closing Mrs.Nichols stated that it is the mission of the Board of Selectmen to live in harmony with nature. She is greatly opposed to the outdoor entertainment proposal as it does not harmonize with nature. Jen McDonald gave support to the vision of the Naukabout Beer Company. She has visited the site on many occasions, and the proposal to provide outdoor entertainment is not offensive, but very natural and fitting with the clientele. Ms. McDonald recommended the Board of Selectmen give Mr. Murner the opportunity to try the outdoor entertainment and added that it is great to hear music outdoors and to not be inside. As discussion continued amongst the Board members it was noted there is no method to predict the outcome of the sound unless it is tried. Mr. Murner was advised to amplify the voice only and not the instruments. 5
