I shared in yesterday’s editorial board meeting that my great grandfather was a young man when his family left Belfast. I mentioned my family came from the Protestant side of the mounting religious conflict between Catholics and Protestants, so we wear orange on St Patrick’s Day. My mom followed up with the following:

This was unacceptable to many, which ultimately led to the Irish Republican Army and the terrorism of the 1970s against the English government, known as the Troubles. 30 years of urban guerrilla terrorism which was brought to an end in 1998 with the Good Friday accords.
John Black and family emigrated at the beginning of the Irish civil disturbances back in 1906 when he was 16 years old. Anne Murray Black and her husband, John Black , (Your great, great grandfather) left Belfast with six of their nine children (the ...
This federal law is a great example of regulatory agency capture by big industry. It must be amended for the future of our neighborhoods or we will see cell towers everywhere. My county commission cannot vote down this proposed cell phone tower on my neighbor’s land based on health or environmental reasons or they’ll get sued due to the protections afforded in this act.

You can’t vote down a tower as a local governing body based on ANY health or environmental risks. I am asking for help from people who have tried to stop these towers, whether successfully or unsuccessfully. I’d like to know what you learned so I can move forward strategically to save our farm. Please email me at: [email protected] or leave a link in the comments below. I figured my news days were behind me, now focused on a simple farm life, but this story found me. Let’s go.
We got a trailer (finally thanks to a generous Christmas gift from my parents) after 3 years without one since selling ours to move from Washington to Florida. You may recognize our special guest leading Sassy onto it for the first time. It was also his first time ever leading a horse, so kind of the blind leading the blind. Anyway all went well and now Lily is practicing with Sassy. We are so excited to finally have a trailer for emergencies - and rodeos! Don’t forget to buy your cod liver/butter oil to support your immune system for all of your family adventures!
