The Missoulian from Missoula, Montana • 15

Missoulian, Monday, April 10, 1995 C-3 OBITUARIES MONTANA Managing the Bob B1 WiiCii'01SS By DON SCHWENNESEN of the Missoulian year, are intended to reduce human-bear confrontations that ultimately lead to the deaths or removals of bears. Grizzlies are federally-protected as a threatened species. Many wilderness users, notably the Backcountry Horsemen, challenge the need for the rules, arguing that human-bear wilderness confrontations have been rare. The few that occur have often involved bears that learned to raid human food outside the wilderness and were then moved to the wilderness for a second chance. "Our evaluation of the data being used" to justify the new food storage rules "comes up very short," Edd Blackler of the Backcountry Horsemen said.

Outfitter Richard Jackson countered that some steps must be taken to head off confrontations. "When you're packing in with a string, you don't wait 'til you have a wreck before you fix your pack," he said. Though past bear conflicts have been rare in the Bob, "since the bear is no longer hunted here, it will become more aggressive," he predicted. The best course is to find ways of reducing bear-human conflicts and focus on recovering grizzly numbers so that limited hunting can be resumed to remove aggressive bears. hikers, outfitters and others.

The foundation operated from 1985 to 1988 and raised about $10,000 but then went dormant as organizers left the area or turned to other projects. Mike Conner, recently retired from the Flathead National Forest, is now leading an effort to revive the foundation. The Spotted Bear district may lead one or more public field trips into the northern end of the Bob Marshall this summer, to highlight the use problems, if there is sufficient public interest. A new fish and wildlife management policy that covers the wilderness complex and extends beyond it, to consider such things as elk migrations and fish runs, was also issued on Saturday. The first of its kind in the nation, the plan was signed on Friday by the supervisors of the four national forests that share management of the Bob Marshall, Great Bear and Scapegoat wilderness complex after more than a year of development.

Other sessions at the day-long meeting debated wilderness fire policy and rekindled passions over proposed rules governing storage of food and other bear-attractants in grizzly country. The rules, hotly argued for more than a KALISPELL Is it time to admit that the pristine standards for the Bob Marshall Wilderness complex can't be met and let them slide a little bit? Managers reported on Saturday that the Delaware-sized wilderness, one of America's most famous, is holding its own against the pressures of visitor use. But in seven years, there's been "no appreciable improvement" despite many projects to rehabilitate over-used campgrounds and trails, Dale Luhman of the Spotted Bear Ranger District reported at an annual public meeting to review the general state of the wilderness area. "We don't seem to be getting much worse or much better in any of the standards" used to monitor wilderness conditions, said Hungry Horse Ranger Al Christophersen, chairman of this year's session. The Forest Service budget outlook suggests that support for restoration and trail programs will decline.

Revival of the Bob Marshall Foundation, to enlist private support for wilderness management, was one possibility aired by some 70 forest and wildlife managers, horsemen, Mine cited as example of irrelevant boundaries Oil, gas leasing on the Front gets second look She was preceded in death by her husband Harald in 1973, son Wayne and daughter Vida.

Associated Press The proposed New World Mine at the edge of Yellowstone National Park illustrates the irrelevancy of artificially drawn park boundaries, federal land managers say.

The mine, just 3 miles from Yellowstone's northeastern corner, took center stage at a conference on ecosystem management Saturday in Snowbird, Utah. The proposed gold mine shows why public land managers from different agencies need to cooperate on development outside park boundaries, officials said. "We consider this mine to be one of the largest threats to the park, and a real test of ecosystem management," said Yellowstone Superintendent Mike Finley. Presenters said the definition of ecosystem management is still vague and hard for officials to MISSOULA tossed salad, fruit, milk. BONNER menu unavailable.

But Finley called the park a "complex ecological web" that has felt and will feel the effects of activities outside its boundaries.

He noted that a creek that runs into the park still contains acid wastes from a mine abandoned in the 1950s. "In my opinion, (Yellowstone) should not be put at risk for a one-time mineral extraction," he told his colleagues. The New World Mine has been proposed by Crown Butte Mines a subsidiary of Canadian mining giant Noranda Minerals.

The Lewis and Clark National Forest includes the Rocky Mountain Front roughly from Rogers Pass, northwest of Wolf Creek, to Glacier National Park, and all or parts of the Highwood, Big Snowy, Little Belt and Crazy mountain ranges.

The six alternatives range from a complete halt to any more oil and gas leases, to full development of areas in the forest deemed available, which could mean an additional 25 wells. The forest now has 67 leases on 153,182 acres, almost all on the Rocky Mountain Front. A draft decision could be issued in six months, followed by a 45-day public comment period, followed by a final decision as much as a year or two later and issuance of the EIS, Strathy said.

GREAT FALLS (AP) The Lewis and Clark National Forest has begun the process of reassessing its policies toward oil and gas leasing on the Rocky Mountain Front. The forest mailed a newsletter to 400 interested parties last week outlining six alternatives being considered while developing the necessary environmental impact statement. Conservationists say what's at stake is the wilderness potential of such spectacular places as the Badger-Two Medicine and Silver King Falls Creek areas.

Oil and gas spokesmen say what's at stake is the economic opportunity to tap possibly enormous deposits of natural gas under the mountain front.
