A call for peace during the latest battle over backyard chickens

I am rarely in Thurmont. I live on the opposite side of the county. But recently, an issue has come up among the powers that be in my county’s far north neighbors. An issue that my own section of the country dealt with years ago, but feels just as fresh and controversial as if it were yesterday. An issue that threatened, and in some ways continues to threaten, the very fabric of what we call community in and around the Brunswick area. Or not.
