Show K 1• The Park Record B-12 Wed/Thurs/Fri, January 12-14, 2005 Wolves, controversy still thrive Sometimes. The Best thing in Life... Is a Short Drive to Grandmas House... BILLINGS. Montana (AP) A decade ago, the first gray wolves bolted out of crates and into the wilds of Idaho. The event was cheered by environmentalists but decried by ranchers and others who had hoped it would never happen. Ten years later, passions still run deep, fueled by the wolves' incredible recovery in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming. Ranchers worry about livestock being attacked. Hunting organizers worry the wolves are reducing elk herds and threatening their livelihood. Conservationists acknowledge problems but say wolves haven't been the scourge some predicted. They say that in the area around Yellowstone National Park the reintroduction of wolves has helped the ecology of the area and increased tourism has boosted the economies of nearby communities. Some conservationists say the true measure of success will come when the wolves are taken off the list of animals protected by the Endangered Species Act. Wolves in the region gained protection under the act in 1974, after being essentially wiped out in Idaho, Wyoming and Montana earlier in the century. But in the 1980s, a small number migrated naturally into Glacier National Park from Canada. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, in a 1987 plan, proposed reintroducing an "experimental" population in Yellowstone. After years of debate, the government decided in the early 1990s to reintroduce wolves to the park and parts of central Idaho. Ranchers were firmly opposed, worried how the predators would affect their livelihoods. "When they're killing a calf, they're not as warm and fuzzy as they're portrayed," said Jake Cummins, executive vice president of the Montana Farm Bureau federation. The first gray wolves were released in Idaho on Jan. 14. 1995. The next year, 37 more wolves were reintroduced. Federal wildlife officials had expected to reintroduce animals for five years but stopped after two because the population was growing on its own. Coexistence between ranch-( ers and wolves has sometimes' been uneasy. The Defenders of Wildlife pays compensation for confirmed losses and offers assistance with nonlethal measures to help keep wolves from livestock. But farm leaders say it's often difficult to prove losses and that little short of a shotgun will keep wolves from returning. According to the government, 278 cattle and nearly 800 sheep were confirmed killed by wolves in the three states from 1995 to 2003. Meanwhile, 201 "problem" wolves also were killed, most by government agents. An estimated 825 or more wolves now live in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming. Those on all sides of the debate say emotions are still strong. Maury Jones, an outfitter in western Wyoming, said he wishes reintroduclion had never happened, and insists it will be the "greatest wildlife disaster ever seen." But Doug Smith, the Yellowstone wolf project leader, said the ^introduction has been a scientist's dream, providing an opportunity to compare an ecosystem with and without a key predator. "It's one of the major conservation efforts of the 20th century, and ^o b^ there and watch the population 'grow and study it - it's one of the most;' exciting things that's happened to me,11 he said. Madrid insists itsfitto host 2012 Olympics MADRID, Spain (AP) Madrid Olympic officials insisted Monday the city is the right choice to host the 2012 Olympics despite another incident of racist chanting at a high-profile soccer game in the capital. The city - which is competing for the games against Paris, London, New York and Moscow - unveiled a bid advertising campaign proclaiming, "We are Ready." MayoV Alberto Ruiz Gallardon noted that a video promoting the campaign WENTWORTH AT SUMMIT COUNTY ... fdhth tot fv tit tjcim /kilt h yvttr trim tKtUs tovrtJi it.

"It does not belong to anyone - it belongs to everyone," Ruiz Gallardon said at a ceremony presenting the campaign. He spoke a day after racist chanting marred Sunday's game between Real Madrid and crosstown rival Atletico de Madrid. Atletico fans directed monkey chants at Madrid's Brazilian defender Roberto Carlos, who is black. It was yet another embarrassment for a city stung by similar chanting at black England players during a match against the Spanish national team in November. Madrid Olympic bid spokesman Carlos Martin Usieto downplayed such displays as isolated and said the International Olympic Committee pays more attention to a candidate city's actual dossier. "It was the biggest setback we have suffered in all these months because it was a setback that crossed borders," Martin Usieto said, referring to the England game. "But we believe it was an isolated incident. This country and this city are not at all racist." Madrid is the only major European capital which hasn't hosted the Olympics. Barcelona staged the 1992 Summer Games. Madrid is the first stop on the IOC evaluation commission's tour of the five bid cities. The panel will visit the Spanish capital Feb. 3-6. The IOC will select the host city in Singapore on July 6. www.parkrecorcl.com www.parkrecord.com www.parkrecord.com www.parkrecord.com AT YOUR SERVICE AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR O MERCER AUTOMOTIVE & DETAILING.
