Planned mine threatens quiet of ND Roosevelt ranch
The site of the Elkhorn Ranch in the badlands of North Dakota looks and feels much as it did when Theodore Roosevelt retreated there to raise cattle following the deaths of his wife and mother in 1884. That could soon change, unless the government steps in to stop development on the adjacent plot of land, including a plan to mine gravel that would bring heavy machinery, roads, noise and dust to the site, said the former president's great-grandson, Tweed Roosevelt.

Scott Brand, Grand Forks, letter: Turn back threat to Roosevelt’s N.D. ranch
If we allow this gravel pit to operate next door to Roosevelt's Elkhorn Ranch, then instead of seeing cottonwoods, sand bars, meadowland, sheer cliffs and grassy plateaus and absorbing the sounds of nature, visitors will be watching mining activity, hearing heavy trucks and breathing the dust created from the mine.

VIEWPOINT: Herald editorial based on misunderstanding about Badlands proposal, Dorgan writes
"The Herald editorial by Mike Jacobs said I had a 'blind spot' about the North Dakota Badlands (“Dorgan shows a blind spot about N.D. Badlands, Page A4, Dec. 8). That, of course, is not true," Sen. Byron Dorgan writes. "The fact is, I grew up near the Badlands in western North Dakota, and I believe it’s one of the great treasures of our state."

- Do you agree with the Herald editorial that North Dakota's Badlands should be on the National Register of Historic Places? How about just a 12,000-acre parcel, which Sen. Byron Dorgan says is really the only land at issue?
- THEIR OPINION: Badlands as historic as it gets
