This exaggerated, but cruelly potential depiction of the fu ture is a grim one. However, there is hope. These groups exist on one foundation: sex appeal. Ifwe can tolerate them for a few more years, their limited supply of good

If seven lawyers, after putting on black robes actually have the arrogance to throw out a prop­erly voted Constitutional Initia­tive based on tedrnical interpre­tation, the people would be justified in voting to limit the Su­preme Court Justices to a single six-year term. Then they could run for the legislature and prop­erly pass legislation! I would hope the Montana upreme Court would not demonstrate this contempt for the voters of Montana and the governing pro­cess and totally disgrace the role of the upreme Court.

For 10 years term limits have been in effect and this past es­sion demonstrated a smooth tran ­sition of power as the last of the

Fs hundreds of millions of k"s worth of gold and other rals along wirh huge

Jtnts of acidic rock. lpponents feared disturbing

11ock would lead ro torrents

of poliution in the rivers or the park and, after years of debate and lawsuits, the federal govern­ment in 1996 bought out the in­terests of Crown Burre Mines, terminating the project.

Part of the $65 million buyout included setting aside $22.5 million for cleanup of po!Jution from spo­radic mining operations over the previous century.

Cormier said there is enough money to finish the job.

Federal and private experrs began work on the site in 1999.

Among cleanup options are burying waste on site and haul­ing it away. There are also a num­ber of alternatives for plugging leaky mines.

Maxim engineer Allan Kirk was chief spokesman for Crown Butte and the man who mapped out the ore body. Now he is apply­ing his skills to closing and dean­ing up some of the old mines.

Don Bachman of the Greater Yeliowstone Coalition calied Kirk a problem solver who brings ex­tra energy ro the project.

'Tm pretty pleased \vith the way things are going," Bachman said.
