Free lectures discuss asbestos contamination in Lincoln County by Duane Williams, KLCB-KTNY Radio August 17, 2012 A free series of lectures about the history and ramifications of vermiculite mining and asbestos contamination in Lincoln County begins September 12. All nine lectures in the series will be held at the Little Theatre in Libby from 4:00-5:30 and 7:00-8:30 pm. The goal of the Libby Legacy Project is to aid the Lincoln County community in understanding and embracing the complex legacy of Libby’s local mining history. The lectures will be delivered by a variety of expert speakers, and range from the geology of the ore body through the history of vermiculite mining in Libby to the effects of asbestos on human health. The lectures are part of a required continuing education credit course through the Lincoln County Campus of FVCC designed to help teachers incorporate aspects of the Libby story into everyday classroom learning to consider the meaning of south Lincoln County’s asbestos history and future. To take the class for credit, register at www.fvcc.edu. The series is open to all members of the community. The lecture series and the course are partially funded by a grant from Humanities Montana. _____________________________ By Duane Williams, KLCB-KTNY Radio, www.todaysbestcountryonline.com e-mail: klcb@frontiernet.net.
