This letter is in response to an article regarding an alleged “assault” by a bus driver, Don Astrike. I’ve known Mr. Astrike for 26 years and there is no one who cares more for our children than him. The parent/legal guardians, of the boys, have seen the video and have chosen not to press charges….
I would like thank everyone for their part in today’s ribbon cutting at Monster Recycling.

Dr. Shrader-Frechette’s second article predicts conservatively 40 deaths (compared to 2 from coal), 75 heart attacks, 730 asthma attacks, and greater than 4000 lost work days annually from the Jasper Clean Energy Center.
