Dunces With Wolves		18 Apr 2002	Daily Grist
Dunces With Wolves The age-old conflict between wolves and livestock owners is erupting again. Last year, at least 40 farm animals in Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming were killed by wolves, which were reintroduced to the American West in the mid-1990s. In response, a significant number of the predators have been killed this year as well (including all 10 wolves from the Whitehawk pack). Under a federal compr ...

Get the Lead Out		21 Mar 2002	Daily Grist
Get the Lead Out Residents of northern Idaho are fiercely resisting a plan by the U.S. EPA to expand a 21-square-mile area into one of the country's largest Superfund sites. That's not so unusual -- many towns resist Superfund designation, fearing that the stigma will drive away tourists and businesses. But some northern Idaho towns have filed a lawsuit to block expansion of the cleanup. The EPA has been working in the area since the ...

Famous-er Potatoes		28 Jan 2002	Daily Grist
Famous-er Potatoes Organic foods, long associated with the crunchy West Coast and the yuppie East, have made dramatic inroads into more conservative places -- so dramatic, in fact, that Idaho, home to many rabid anti-enviros, has become one of the top five states in the nation for total organic acreage. Part of the new popularity of organics may be a growing awareness of the health virtues of eating chemical- ...

Special K-O		22 Oct 2001	Daily Grist
Special K-O Like the rest of the country, the town of Kellogg, Idaho, is at war. But this one is a civil war over the Silver Valley Superfund site, the legacy of a century of mining and smelting in the Coeur d'Alene River Basin. The U.S. EPA is poised to decide this week whether to expand the cleanup efforts from 21 square miles to 1,500 square miles, which would make Silver Valley the nation's larges ...

Fright Train		23 Jul 2001	Daily Grist
Fright Train Sometime this summer, the feds are planning to transport nuclear waste from power plants via train from New York to a U.S. Energy Department reservation in southeastern Idaho. Dubbing the shipment a "mobile Chernobyl," anti-nuke advocates plan to raise a ruckus when the freight train comes through. Although the shipment a ...

Infamous Potatoes		23 Jul 2001	Daily Grist
Infamous Potatoes In keeping with her pattern of deferring to the positions of elected officials in the West, U.S. Interior Secretary Gale Norton has recommended that the U.S. Justice Department not appeal a ruling by the Idaho Supreme Court that denies water rights for a federal wildlife refuge on the Snake River. In the past, the U.S. has almost always defended its water rights to protect wildlife ...

One for the Roadless How we could save both forests and jobs	Mark Matthews, Writers on the Range	30 Jun 2000	Soapbox
The "roadless" road show swept the nation last week as U.S. Forest Service officials collected public comment on President Clinton's initiative to prohibit road building in national forests where no roads now exist. What's missing from this picture? Photo: U.S. Forest Service. The policy would affect 43 million acres across the country, including about 5.8 million acres in Mo ...

Fire on the Mountain	Ben White	13 Apr 2000	Muckraker
Enviros in Washington are apoplectic over what they fear will be a pre-Earth Day cave-in by the Clinton administration over mountaintop-removal mining in West Virginia. This used to be a mountain. Photo: David Miller, www.mountaintopmining.org. Readers may recall this battle from last year's appropriations season, when powerful Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.) introduced a rider that would have bypassed a federal judge's ruling against the destructive mini ...
