  • BP Well Bore And Casing Integrity May Be Blown, Says Florida’s Sen. Nelson

    Ken Cole

    The News from the Gulf is getting worse and worse. It’s almost paralyzing. Essentially, what the Senator is saying is that the pipe leading down to the oil may be leaking.  The oil isn’t just leaking from the pipe at the top but that it may be leaking into the ground from lower and there…

  • Missoulans protest Alberta-bound tar sands equipment trucking

    Ralph Maughan

    Over 200 trips of these giant oil equipment pieces to go through U.S. 12 in Idaho and NW Montana- I think perhaps there has been too much attention in this forum on elk in Lolo.  Elk are important, but fishing, scenery, wilderness, and property of local people are more important.

    Ralph Maughan

    Forget the manufactured scare about tapeworms, it’s time to be alert for real disease dangers if you are outdoors- I got my first tick the other day while hiking the foothills in the Deep Creeks SW of Pocatello. Despite numerous forays this year, I haven’t seen many ticks — luck? Nevertheless, this is the time…

‎”At some point we must draw a line across the ground of our home and our being, drive a spear into the land and say to the bulldozers, earthmovers, government and corporations, “thus far and no further.” If we do not, we shall later feel, instead of pride, the regret of Thoreau, that good but overly-bookish man, who wrote, near the end of his life, “If I repent of anything it is likely to be my good behaviour.”

Edward Abbey

“The continued existence of wildlife and wilderness is important to the quality of life of humans.”

Jim Fowler

“Our forests offer much more than just beautiful landscapes and wildlife. Each one has a different story to tell.”
