THE SNAKE RUNS THROUGH IT
Lewiston
and Idaho Falls stand like bookends at either end of the Snake
River’s path through Idaho. Those two ends will converge Nov. 28-29
in Boise, Idaho, at Snake: the River Between Us, a conference about
the future of Idaho’s largest river. The meeting grows out of a
series of articles written in tandem by the Idaho Falls Post
Register and the Lewiston Tribune. Those articles explored a range
of issues, including recreation, wildlife, hydropower and
pollution, that will be covered by panels including Dan Beard,
former commissioner of the Bureau of Reclamation; Idaho Gov. Phil
Batt and former Idaho Gov. Cecil Andrus, whose Andrus Center for
Public Policy is helping to sponsor the
event.
Registration costs $90; contact the Andrus
Center for Public Policy, P.O. Box 852, Boise, ID 83701
(208/385-4218).
