Andrus Ready For One Last Crusade

In his Carlson Chronicles, Chris Carlson talks of his old boss, former governor Cecil Andrus, preparing for one last crusade — the preservation of the Boulder/White Clouds area. Carlson noted that Andrus was feistier than ever this past week when he received The Frank and Bethine Church Public Service Award in honor of a lifetime of work on behalf of protecting the “crown jewels” of Idaho’s outdoors – the Sawtooth National Recreation Area, the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area, the Selway/Bitterroot Wilderness, the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness, the Owyhee Canyon Lands, and the Birds of Prey. … He served notice that there is one last charge on his steed he is going to make before riding off into the sunset: the Boulder/White Clouds will receive the recognition it merits by President Barack Obama invoking his authority under the Antiquities Act to declare the area a National Monument.
