“I just want to thank y'all for coming out tonight. I want to thank Councilman Tomlinson for putting this on the agenda. I'm extremely proud to see y'all here because the FFA was a big part of my high school days, and that was a long time ago. But we had things such as soil judging, swine judging, cattle judging. We did it all. And we actually won our district multiple years in a row, and we were very proud of that. But it's nice to see the young people taking part in the agriculture and the conservation of this land. So it means a lot tonight to see young people interested in that kind of…”

“Of course, everybody knows my feelings on the power plant in general, so there's no need to go there. But there is some issues here that I wanna bring out first. It's my understanding that this is not a recommendation, a positive recommendation for planning and zoning. It's my understanding that planning and zoning has an unfavorable vote coming to the council. You know, as I look over this tonight, the general zoning provisions and the height limitations, it talks about, in the addition to this, it says, or structures and apparatuses associated with energy infrastructure projects. And it…”

“I think this is a much needed ordinance. We've had a lot of discussion, and we've heard a lot of comments from the public, and I believe this is something that's desperately needed for right now, and that'll give us a year to look into things and see where we need to go from there.”

“We've been through two of these readings. This is simply something that I asked administration to look into. Because of the rural area, this is what it affects the most in reference to the fire hydrants, and they did so. They've got it corrected, and I asked my colleagues to support third reading.”

“I just want to say, Coming from a law enforcement background myself, my son myself is in law enforcement. I just want to send my deepest sympathies to each and every one of you. I can't imagine even being in law enforcement. I couldn't imagine going through what you're going through. And to sit there and listen to his children point him out is really heart-wrenching. I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate his service. And, you know, when you're in law enforcement and anybody that's ever been in it, they'll tell you that the whole family's involved. It doesn't just, it just doesn't end…”

“Uh, the motion is to correct. So, uh, the second on the second reading on the ordinance for the multi park agreement, um, the votes should have been in favor Connell, Tucker, Shoemake and Tomlinson. If that's not right, correct me. And the opposed vote should have been Brazel Jones and Cato. That's right.”

“Through the first reading, I explained that this was something I worked jointly with the administration on, and I appreciate their hard work on this and the fire service. But this has something to do with the rural part of the county, mainly, where the water supply is not there in order to have a fire hydrant. And it just kind of regulates, it resets the ZLDR to fit the needs of the rural part of the county.”

“I'm going to be very brief tonight. First and foremost, I want to thank the family of Officer Chris DeLong for being here tonight. And again, my heart goes out to you. Not just tonight, but in the days ahead, there's going to be some long, hard times for this family. And my prayers will continue for you all as you go through this time. I do want to reiterate what some of the others have said. I appreciate the sheriff and everybody to come out and speak tonight and give us some information detention center and uh the wonderful presentations and the way they brought them i want to thank you for…”

“Just a few. I'll start off tonight by I wanted to announce the Bone Town Brawl. And this is a cheerleading, the first annual cheerleading competition for North Central High School. And it's a battle at the castle on September the 19th. This will start with general admission at $10. They'll have different squads competing against each other.

“Let us pray. Heavenly Father, I just thank you so much for this night, for this time that we have to fellowship together here, do the work of your county. Dear Heavenly Father, we just thank you for your love, your grace, your mercies that you bestow upon us each and every day. Dear Heavenly Father, for the love that you give us, for the love that you have bestowed upon us in this county for giving us such a great place to live and to raise families.

“This is an honor for me to present this tonight, and I want to read the proclamation, and I'll have a lot more to say after that. But tonight's proclamation is honoring Steve McCaskill, And it says, whereas former Sheriff Steve McCaskill has dedicated 36 years of extraordinary and exemplary public service to the citizens of Kershaw County, and whereas during his tenure as sheriff from January 95 to January of 2011, he demonstrated exceptional leadership, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to public safety. And whereas former Sheriff Steve McCaskill successfully implemented vital…”

“You know, I really don't know how to start. I've got so much to say. I worked for this man for 15 and a half years, and we've remained close ever since the last day. He was part of a changing time in Kershaw County and in law enforcement, probably like none other. We've seen the computers come into play in the 90s. We saw cell phones come into play. We saw emails come into play. And the internet come into play. Social media come into play. He was the first sheriff to ever have the bloodhound unit. A narcotics canine. A bomb canine. A boat patrol. He established the resident deputy program,…”

“One more thing for anybody else who goes forward. I know that we've got several deputies here tonight. It was brought to my attention earlier tonight, and Sheriff Bone wanted me to tell you all that he couldn't be here tonight. He is in North Carolina in a class, and he really hated that he couldn't be here tonight. But I think there's only six deputies in the sheriff's office right now that work under Sheriff McCaskill. I mean, it's been a while. We're getting old, Danny. I'm getting old, too. But there's only six left, and I just wanted to share that before anybody else.”
