WHAT’S IN THEWILDERNESSBILL, CALLED SNRA-PLUS?

➤ SawtoothNational RecreationArea:TheSawtoothNational Forestwould remain as theprinciple administrative body and the currentmanagementwould remain intact under theexisting SNRA. TheChallis Bureau of LandManagementwould remain themanager ofthe East Fork BLMand Salmon-Challis Nation-al Forest areas.

Horse BasinWilderness StudyArea and theBoulder CreekWilderness StudyArea. Also,other Forest Service-recommendedwilder-nesswould be released, for a grand total of155,003 acres. This is 23,333 acresmore thanthe original CIEDRAbill.

➤ Motorized use:No roads currently open tovehicles, or trails open to two-wheelmotori-zed use,would be closed. TheGrand Prize andGermania trails (and the ridge between) andthe Frog Lake Loopwould be excluded fromwilderness and remain open to two-wheelmotorized use under the SNRA travel plan.Snowmobiling areas remaining open, as al-lowed under the SNRA travel plan: 4th of JulyBasin,Washington Basin, Phyllis Lake Basin,Champion Lakes,WarmSpringsMeadows.

➤ Mountain bikes:All areas open tomoun-tain bikes outside of the proposedwildernessremain open. UnderCIEDRA, the 4th of Julytrail would have been closed tomountainbikes. The PoleCreek/Washington Basin/4th

Cannady, 58, grew up inOklahoma and moved toParmaintheearly1970s,get-ting him close to the moun-tains that had been hisdream. He loved the idea somuchthathemovedtoAlas-ka in 1975 and lived in thebushfor twoyears.

“That was pretty intensefor a 19-to-20-year-old,”Cannadysaid.

He returned to Idaho andinthe1980senrolledatBoiseState University. He got in-terestedinpubliclandpolicyissues, studying under BSUprofessor JohnFreemuth.

“Ed’spassionateabouttheBoulder-White Clouds,”saidFreemuth. “Hewants toseeitprotected,buthehastobe careful because heworksfor theForestServiceandhecan’t be an advocate. I thinkheapproaches it thatway.”

FIGHTSANDREGRETS

In 1988, Republican Sen.Jim McClure introduced abill to protect 1.6 millionacres as wilderness state-wideand100,000acresintheWhite Cloud Mountains.McClure negotiated the billwith then-Gov. Cecil An-drus, who had won his firstelection in 1970 campaign-ing against amine proposedat the base of Castle Peak intheWhite Clouds. The pro-posed mine died when thearea was included in theSawtooth National Recre-ation Area in 1972 as a wil-dernessstudyarea.

Cannady served as a lob-byist for the Idaho Conser-vation Leaguewhile attend-ingBSU.His group opposedthe McClure-Andrus bill,holdingout forprotectionof495,000 acres in theBoulderand White Cloud mountainranges east of theSawtoothsandHighway75andnorthofKetchum.

Simpson’s bill would pro-tect275,665acresintheBoul-der-White Clouds and theadjacent Jim McClure-JerryPeak Wilderness. Cannadysays now that the 1980s op-position was a mistake be-cause the areawould be bet-ter protected today had thebillpassed.

Hemovedon,becomingaseasonal wilderness rangerfor the Forest Service in the

Boulder-White Clouds andeventuallyafull-timeranger,with added responsibilitiesin the nearby Sawtooth Na-tionalRecreationArea.

In 2002, Simpson beganworking on a bill to create awilderness in the Boulder-WhiteCloudsandtohelptherural communitiesofCusterandBlainecounties that sur-round the area.WhenSimp-sonintroducedhisfirstbillin2004, he hiked into theChamberlain Basin in theWhite Clouds with Canna-dy.

A thunderstorm movedin. Cannady had erected arain fly sohe could cookandget his group out of the

weather. But Simpson choseinstead to stand out in thesleet, buffeted by the wind,watching the clouds spiralaroundCastlePeak.

“Isn’t this themostbeauti-ful thing you’ve ever seen,”Cannady remembers Simp-sonsaying.

“That’s when I realizedhe’s a man after my ownheart,” Cannady said. “Wegot snowed on and he en-dured it and loved the trip.”

NEWCHALLENGES

It was the first of manyCannady hikes with Simp-son, congressional aides, en-vironmentalists and evenForest Service Chief Tom

Tidwell.HehelpedSimpsonwithmapsandexplainedtra-deoffsandtheecological im-pactsof variousproposals.

In 2006, Simpson’s bill toprotect more than 300,000acres as wilderness passedtheHouse andwas includedin the final package of legis-lation Congress would ap-prove before it went home.At the last hour, outgoingHouse Speaker Dennis Has-tertreplaceditwithabillthatbenefitedhisdistrict.

Simpson tried again in2010, with the entire Idahodelegation on board. Beforethe Senate held a hearing,changesmadebycommitteestaffandlobbyingbymotori-zed recreation groupsprompted Idaho Sens. JimRisch and Mike Crapo towithdrawtheir support.

That prompted Andrus, aformer U.S. secretary of in-terior, to urge President Ba-rack Obama to proclaim theBoulder-White Clouds a na-tional monument. He hadconvinced President JimmyCarter touse theAntiquitiesAct of 1906 to set aside mil-lions of acres in Alaska thatled Congress to pass the

Alaska Lands Act in 1980,and wanted Obama to usethe act to protect the Boul-der-White Clouds the sameway.

In 2011, Cannady learnedhe had a cancerous tumor ina lymph node next to his ve-na cavaartery.Thenhegot adivorce.

He went through chemo-therapyandtodayhiscanceris inremission, allowinghimto return tohiswork and theplaces he loves. Over theyears he has gone into theBoulder-White Clouds ev-ery way allowed — hiking,mountain biking, motorcy-cling, snowmobiling andhorseback riding.

NEWMOMENTUM

The national monumentpushgatheredsteamin2012,with conservation groups,sportsmen, outdoor recre-ation businesses, Ketchum,Blaine County and BoiseMayor Dave Bieter joiningthe chorus for a presidentialmonumentdesignation.Theproposal that emerged en-compassed more land thanhadSimpson’sproposedwil-derness, and offered more

flexibility in managementthanwilderness, inwhichallmechanized travel and de-vices arebanned.

The monument talk gaveSimpson an opening to re-sumehispushforthewilder-ness bill he’d drafted overthe yearswith input fromalloverCentral Idaho.

Early this year, he andRischreachedagreementona bill that had wide supportfrom ranchers, snowmobil-ers and others opposed to amonument, as well as envi-ronmentalgroups, includingthe Idaho ConservationLeague, the Wilderness So-ciety, theSierraClubandthePewCharitableTrust.CraposignedonintheSenate,andalukewarmRaulLabradordidnot fight it in theHouse.

Cannadydidn’t takesides.As he has since he went towork for the Forest Service,he has served all of the peo-plewhouse thearea.

“Somanypeople fight ov-er this place, that is proofthey love it,”Cannadysaid.

In Simpson’s floor state-ment published in the Con-gressionalRecord, theIdahoRepublican thanked a long,diverselistofpeopleandhadspecial words for Cannady.“He knows the area betterthan anyone and he careseven more about them,”Simpson said. “Ed has be-come a very good friendthroughout thisprocess.”

Simpson’s rocky tripthrough the legislative pro-cess is like Cannady’s climbup the ridges and his fightwithcancer,Cannadysaid.

“There’s almost always away through,” he said, “andMike keeps climbing andlooking for the rightpath.”

WHAT’SNEXT FORTHEWILDERNESS BILL?

The Senate Energy andNatural ResourcesCommitteepassed the bill Thursday. It nowheads to the full Senate,which has adjourned untilMonday.

The committee approved the Boulder-WhiteCloudsmea-sure, part of a package of bills, by unanimous consent.

Since the bill has passed theHouse, Senate approvalwouldsend it to the president, where his signaturewouldmake itlaw.

If it doesn’tmove through the Senate quickly, expect thepush for a nationalmonument to pick up steam.
