@legroff When I lived in Boston many years ago, there was nothing better than walking from Central Square to MIT and inhaling pure sugar goodness from the Necco wafer factory

An important move to restore an important site. From @WillWalkey at @WYPublicRadio. @NNNnativenews @IndianCountry @AmericanIndian8

[Will Walkey @WillWalkey]

In 2018, the Northwestern Shoshone bought land in ID. It's the site of the Bear River Massacre and for years was agricultural.

Now, the tribe is restoring the land to what it looked like pre white settlement.

A new #currency is circulating in #Wyoming #Nevada #Utah and #NewHampshire. Will it catch on?

[Boise State Public Radio News @KBSX915]

The smallest goldback denomination is worth about $4, but there are also larger bills with more gold in them – the most valuable one currently costs a bit less than $200.

The rise in demand for rare earth elements will clearly lead to a mining rush in the West. Once again, the region will supply people with energy at the expense of the landscape.

Rare earths, though part of the transition to renewables, are no exception.

“It's a big shock when you have that much of a market unavailable because of something we didn't expect, like the avian flu,” said Dr. Jim Kroes, professor at the College of Business and Economics at Boise State University.

@BrianMannADK Wishing you a quick and complete recovery

[Will Walkey @WillWalkey]

Unions in the West are pushing back against the proposed Kroger-Albertsons merger. The companies have massive market share in the region, and employees are worried about consolidation, layoffs and rising prices.

Great to hear @MadelynBeck8 on @scifri, reporting on ‘Death Cap’ mushrooms. Not a #Halloween joke.

[Science Friday @scifri]

🍄 The death cap is a poisonous mushroom that can be lethal to humans and dogs. Now it's been found creeping into the mountain west.

Just in time for spooky season, @MadelynBeck8 (Mountain West News Bureau & @KBSX915) shares this report on #SciFriLive📻.

While more people are moving in, numbers of active hunters with elk and deer tags haven’t been going up nearly as fast across our region, according to a review of state statistics.

99% of the roads in @YellowstoneNPS are now open following historic flooding in June. Park superintendent Cam Sholly called reconstruction efforts a near miracle.

What’s new with #dinosaurs? How about “snaky croc-face?

[KUNC Colorado @KUNC]

A newly identified prehistoric marine reptile is now being called Serpentisuchops pfisterae, which researchers say roughly translates to "snaky croc-face", reports @MadelynBeck8 of @KBSX915. It swam around Wyoming about 70 millions years ago. https://t.co/6yGAUOqkVY

A big year to remember singer John Denver.

[KUNC Colorado @KUNC]

If you live in the Mountain West, look out for this deadly #mushroom!

[KUNC Colorado @KUNC]

The 'death cap' mushroom has been found in Idaho. It hadn't been found in the Mountain West before last fall. @MadelynBeck8 of @KBSX915 reports on this toxic mushroom and how to spot it. https://t.co/L6pYhPz6H8
