What I'm hearing is the decision concerning my position was made before yesterday (Thursday). I was concerned when two weeks ago they hired Carolyn (Campbell) part time for help. We hadn't asked for help. We thought we could do it ourselves.

We're going to prove, as we did at the preliminary hearing, that she is innocent.

The decision to commence blasting in this specific quadrant two weeks before the hearing seems intended to carry out as much irreversible demolition of protected resources as possible before the Court can consider the merits. This decision is also fiscally irresponsible . . . as the cost of undertaking this activity will be completely wasted in the event the plaintiffs prevail in this litigation.

They made this decision without the parents' input or having a public hearing.

No decision has been made. There will be a very open public hearing.

I accomplished everything I wanted to do in life and still was left with an unfulfilled part of me.
