No end in sight for Idaho's growth

USA TODAY article:

http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2007-09-26-Idaho_N.htm

"Idaho has drawn national attention from the recent sex-sting arrest of Larry Craig, its senior U.S. senator, and, in the 1990s, from occasional standoffs between law enforcement and white supremacists. What's less known is that Idaho has been competing with Arizona, Nevada and Florida to be the USA's most vibrant boom state. And unlike those hot-weather states, Idaho is having a boom that shows little sign of fading."

"Were you disappointed that North Dakota was able to sign a potato deal with Cuba first?

No. They have wanted Idaho there for a long time. Castro and his organization are going to work with all the states for a variety of different products because they'd like to open up regular trade relations with the U.S. It works to his benefit to work with all the states that are willing to work with him. Let's put it this way. Back 70 years ago, Maine was the No. 1 potato-growing region in the United States. So they were first, but that didn't stop us from becoming No. 1."

Rambling cowboy family finds home in the Pahsimeroi

"A family with an old-fashioned cowboy lifestyle is taking a break after being on the road together for the past nine years.

John, Micha and Zar Hallam are hanging their hats locally and calling this area home, at least for the winter.

They were passing through Grangeville recently, with their packstring of a dozen horses and two dogs, when a local pastor hooked them up with a Pahsimeroi Valley ranch owner. The family likes the wide open, relatively unpopulated surroundings of Custer County, so they took a job managing the ranch for an absentee owner."
