Vaccine clinic thanks
A big thank-you to Garfield County Public Health staff for running an excellent and efficient COVID-19 vaccine clinic at Garfield County Fairgrounds in Rifle on March 19.
Everything was very well thought out and organized so that people coming in for vaccine shots did not have to wait long. From the administrative staff who helped people with their paperwork to the medical professionals that administered the vaccine, they were supportive and professional and did it all with a smile on their face.
It was great to be part of this team effort to help people get vaccinated.

A longtime Roaring Fork Valley resident was sentenced Wednesday to five years in the Colorado Department of Corrections after pleading guilty earlier this year to sexual exploitation of a child by video.
Peter O’Grady, 70, of Missouri Heights, was found to have more than 1 million pictures and video files of children on his computers and other electronic devices, according to Johnny Lombardi, a prosecutor with the Fifth Judicial District Attorney’s Office.
Lombardi labeled O’Grady’s crime as “heinous.” Julia Stancil, O’Grady’s attorney, countered that O’Grady is a man with an addiction who realizes he needs treatment.
