…to me, who tried to provide reliable strictly science-based data about Rocky Flats to local governments on the Jefferson Parkway and then the Rocky Mountain Greenway. Happy Halloween! Beth Mole’s [a Ph.D writer for arstechnica] article Idaho health district abandons COVID shots amid flood of anti-vaccine nonsense is a warning about what can happen “during…
(The contents were posted to Nextdoor, but taken down, labeled as Misinfo.). For grins: Google misinfo “Rocky Flats” More than 6800 people read my post about the Westminster vote on the Greenway.

I have appealed these claims, but without success. I have contacted a number of supporters of…

As always, people living around the Refuge are enthusiastic about it AND the Greenway. Older people living in developments farther away are more suspicious. Use…

A cleaned-up PDF is on our website here.] Michael Ketterer and Jon Lipksy collected air samples at the former plant east gate on Indiana St, at the Refuge southeast Refuge gate, and at Colorado 128 at the Rock Creek underpass on a very windy day (April…
