Controversy over Wolves likely to Continue
Both sides agree that wolves are majestic creatures. Both sides agree that wolves are a threat to farmers and ranchers in the west. At a town meeting in Dakota last night, that’s where the similarities stopped.
Ranchers and friends of ranchers suggested the government issue a kill order for the wolves. They want to protect their livelihood,Too many livestock are killed by hungry wolves each year, at a cost of up to $800 per animal.
Local tourism officials believe the ranchers must upgrade their fencing and other protective measures. Wolf tourism is big business in this state. Nearby state and national park lands offer camera laden tourists daily views of the great creatures in action.
The meeting ended at an impasse, with emotions running high.Local officials agreed to work closely with state officials to study the issue further.

Hughes 电气公司大楼完工
Hughes 电气公司已经完成在 Electric 大道上最新的设备建筑。这栋建物将停放 Hughes 公司使用的所有本地卡车。这项 3 百万的工程是一栋 1 万平方英尺的大楼,提供空间给 Hughes 公司的车辆维修。压缩的天然气卡车也将停放在此。
此工程非常昂贵,因为天然气车辆修理时需要特殊的通风系统。总承包商 Tom Vance 评论说,这项工程提前完成,因此其实比预计的花费更少。

(A)She will visit India every two weeks to make sure things are running smoothly.
(B)She has hired Sacchi to manage the store in India.
