Yolanda Badback, the protest’s founder, estimated this was their biggest walk ever. Badback picked up the mantle of her late uncle, who also fought against the mill. Her brother, Michael Badback, said when the mill’s smoke stacks are going, “the smoke settles in White Mesa, and you can smell the sulfur.”

He blames the mill for increasing cases of asthma in the community’s kids and doing much worse to seniors.

“A lot of our elders mysteriously got sick, and a lot of them have passed,” Badback said, adding they still don’t know the cause.

In New England root vegetables were a staple from our large garden and soup was a wintery treat that I still enjoy today. Chicken or beef stock is not needed to make a delicious entree.

Did he mean what he wrote

Is there a question with this quote

A serious warning he imparts

To strike fear in your hearts?

On the extreme other hand

This writing might be bland

With no intended mischief hint

And just a “something’s coming” bit.

1. How organised are you? Do you plan ahead, take things as they come, or does it depend on the circumstances? Organized and yes and yes.

2. How many Christmas presents have you bought already? One.

3. Do you prefer a family gathering for special occasions, or just you and your significant other? Since I have no SO I prefer family gatherings always.

4. How many words do you think your pet understands? I don’t currently have a pet but I think animals in general know what we mean.

Share Your World 24th October

Looking at the clock after turning off the unceasing alarm, only to realize it’s barely dawn! Nevertheless I had to get out of bed, trudge to the bathroom and not willing to look in the mirror yet, splashed water on my face and held the towel up. Then I tossed it onto the counter and took the plunge—an early start because of the dreaded office get together at Starbucks.

It was about this time I heard the creaking of the stairs and saw a troubled arch of brows in my reflection. Could it be my Newfoundland, Charlie, my huge companion, or something else? I suddenly felt a wet nose on my leg and a sigh of relief. Charlie usually wakes me, but this morning I rose too early even for him.

“When her father dies, Eliza Scarlet finds herself facing a difficult choice. As an unmarried woman, she faces poverty without a husband to provide for her — unless she takes on the challenge of running her late father’s detective agency, which would be unthinkable for a respectable Victorian lady. Fortunately, she finds an unlikely partner in the unconventional Detective Inspector William Wellington of Scotland Yard, known as “The Duke,” and the pair begin to tackle the crimes and mysteries of Victorian London together.”
