After, he really liked it. They

U.S. cattle grazing plan for Idaho
craters monument draws criticism
Craters of the Moon
contains ancient lava flows
of rough and jagged rocks,
but some areas not covered
by the flows are suitable for
cattle grazing.
The plan reduces by 300
acres the amount of cattle
grazing area compared with
the previous plan, and it
reduces the number of cattle
by a small amount.
That’s not enough of a
change, said Greta Anderson,
deputy director for Western

BOISE, Idaho — Federal
officials on Friday released a
cattle grazing plan for central
Idaho’s Craters of the Moon
National Monument and
Preserve that immediately
came under fire from an
environmental group.
The U.S. Bureau of Land
Management’s Final Envi-
ronmental Impact Statement
allows cattle grazing on
nearly all of the roughly
275,000 acres it administers
in the monument.
The document stems from
a federal lawsuit filed by the
Western Watersheds Project
citing concerns about sage
grouse and a subsequent
court ruling requiring the
federal agency to come up
with a new plan.
Lisa
Cresswell,
the
planning and environmental
coordinator for the Twin
Falls District of the BLM,
said the document combined
with the BLM’s 2015 Greater
Sage Grouse Approved
Resource
Management
Plan Amendment protects
sage grouse habitat while
allowing grazing in Craters
of the Moon.
“We were mostly trying
to direct livestock grazing
toward (seeded areas) and
away from native sage-
brush,” she said.

Man hurling racial
slurs kills 2 on train
PORTLAND (AP) —
Two people died Friday and
another was hurt in a stab-
bing on a Portland light-rail
train after a man yelled
racial slurs at two young
women who appeared to be
Muslim, one of whom was
wearing a hijab, police said.
Officers arrested a man
Friday afternoon who ran
from the train, The Orego-
nian/OregonLive reported.
Police were still working
Friday night to identify the
man and the people who
were attacked.
Before the stabbing the
assailant on the train was
ranting on many topics,
using “hate speech or biased
language,” and then turned
his focus on the women,
police Sgt. Pete Simpson
said.
“In the midst of his
ranting and raving, some
people approached him and
appeared to try to intervene
with his behavior and some
of the people that he was
yelling at,” Simpson told
The Oregonian. “They
were attacked viciously.”
One person was dead at
the scene and another died
at a hospital, Simpson said.
The third person was taken
to a hospital with non-life
threatening injuries.
It wasn’t clear why the
man was yelling, Simpson
said.
“He was talking about
a lot of different things,
not just specifically anti-
Muslim,” Simpson said.
Police don’t know if
the man has mental health
“It’s horrific.
There’s no other
word to describe
what happened
today.”

issues or if he was under
the influence of drugs or
alcohol at the time.
The attack happened on a
MAX train as it headed east.
A train remained stopped on
the tracks at a transit center
which was closed while
police investigated.
Evelin Hernandez, a
38-year-old resident of
Clackamas, Oregon, told
the newspaper she was
on the train when the
man began making racist
remarks to the women. A
group of men tried to quiet
him and he stabbed them,
she said.
Simpson
said
the
women
understandably
left the scene before police
were able to talk with them
but that they would like to
hear from them to help fill
in what happened.
“It’s horrific,” Simpson
said. “There’s no other
word to describe what
happened today.”
Millions of Muslims
marked the start of
Ramadan Friday, a time of
intense prayer, dawn-to-
dusk fasting and nightly
feasts.
