Flathead Lake Trout & Mercury
Missoulian: CSKT,
FWP update lake trout consumption guidelines after mercury tests
CSKT, FWP Issue Lake Trout Consumption Guidelines for Flathead Lake
“The guidelines were developed jointly by CSKT and FWP from a large data set of lake trout that were tested for mercury by researchers at Salish Kootenai College. The large sample allowed for fine tuning of mercury levels for lake trout of various sizes. Lake trout are predators and the older, larger fish accumulate more mercury, making them less safe to eat. In fact, it is recommended that consumption of lake trout longer than 30-inches should be avoided.”

Contractor in Cuba/ Iran's Nuclear Program
Missoulian: Senator
critical of effort to free US contractor
Statement
of Chairman Patrick Leahy Subcommittee on the Department of State and Foreign
Operations Hearing on USAID’s Fiscal Year 2015 Budget Request
“I also want to mention the recent press reports on USAID’s twitter program in Cuba, and I will have a number of questions about it. But we should remember that while we debate what USAID is doing in Cuba, U.S. citizen Alan Gross remains in solitary confinement in Havana in his fifth year of captivity, solely because he was carrying out a USAID program. “

Yellowstone Sturgeon/ Montana Farmers
Missoulian: Report:
Channel to protect Yellowstone sturgeon would cost $58.9 million
Final Independent External Peer Review Report for the Intake Diversion Dam Modification Lower Yellowstone Project, Montana
“The purpose of the proposed project is to modify features of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation’s Lower Yellowstone Project Intake Diversion Dam and canal headworks to improve passage and reduce entrainment for endangered pallid sturgeon and other native fish in the Lower Yellowstone River. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service listed the pallid sturgeon as endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) in 1990. The wild population of pallid sturgeon inhabiting the Yellowstone River and the Missouri River between Fort Peck Dam, Montana, and Lake Sakakawea, North Dakota, are anticipated to be extirpated by 2018 if reproduction and recruitment of young fish do not improve.”
