Symms Urges Flexible Wilderness Plan for Idaho Primitive Area
Idaho Congressman Steve Symms backs a flexible wilderness classification that could include the Chamberlain Basin within the acreage and would keep central Idaho largely in the current primitive status. He supports airstrips and limited use of small mechanical equipment and argues for preserving cabins of trappers and prospectors for their historical and tourism value. Idaho fruit prospects also show a strong year with higher expected production for apples, cherries, peaches and pears, especially cherries up about 42 percent and pears about 21 percent.

Alaska Supreme Court Justice A Rabinowitz notes better case screening and trial experience, with some rise in trials but improved office spirit.
