A New Threat to the Boise River!

Gigantic Open Pit Mine Under Study

A long-awaited public comment period has opened on the CuMo project (July 23, 2010), potentially the largest open pit mine in Idaho.

The Forest Service is now accepting comments on the final exploration plan that includes building 12 miles of new road and drilling 122 more holes.

Comments will be accepted until August 23, 2010. For more information please see  CUMO Mine webpage: http://www.mosquitogold.com/  and visit the Boise National Forest website: Project Contact: Russell Hicks: rhicks@fs.fed.us.

Bullcatcher Wrestling Camp

Team Bullcatcher is hosting the 2010 Bullcatcher Wrestling Camp, Tuesday, July 26 through Saturday, July 30, at Garden Valley School.

In its third year, the camp attracts 25 to 40 wrestlers, between the ages of 8 and 14. “We have a pretty serious program,” says Camp Director, Kelly Bartlett, “We have an impressive coaching staff and the camp is combined with kids I work with during the year. The wrestlers learn as much from each other as they do from us.”

The camp schedule certainly looks grueling: There are three runs during the day and three wrestling sessions (two on Wed, Thurs, and Fri), with time for meals and showers. Throw in a little R&R and the lights are out.

This year, activities will include a Tuesday swim at Terrace Lakes, Wednesday float down the Middle Fork and a Thursday shirt and tie date at Starlight Mountain Theatre.

Young wrestler, Kalob Wall.

Bartlett, and Camp Coordinator Lani Wall, allow Garden Valley kids to “come and participate, free of charge.” Contact GV High School Coach Phil Palmiotto, at 462-6929.

Team Bullcatcher Wrestling Camp is sponsored by Tracy Baggerly and the Eagle Rodeo.

Meals are provided at no charge for kids under 18, by Garden Valley School Cafeteria Manager Debbie Updike, through the Summer Food Service Program.
