LAKEPORT – A month after he was seriously injured in a motorcycle collision, Supervisor Anthony Farrington was back at the Board of Supervisors meeting Tuesday.

Farrington, 37, was injured Sept. 23 when his dirt bike collided with a pickup at the Cow Mountain off-highway recreation area, as Lake County News previously reported.

On Tuesday, Farrington – who usually dresses in suit and tie for the meetings – was without jacket and tie, instead sporting a sling on his right arm and a cast on his left wrist and arm.

Besides looking a bit thinner and more pale, Farrington appeared to be on the mend.

He thanked everyone for helping speed his recovery through their support, which included e-mails and other get well messages.

“It was actually overwhelming,” he said. “My heart was touched.”

He added, “It definitely helped me in terms of wanting to get back into the swing of things.”

Farrington's first meeting back lasted into early afternoon, and was shorter by far than recent meetings held during his absence.
