PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has approved killing up to four uncollared wolves in eastern Oregons Baker County, where officials say the Lookout Mountain wolf pack attacked four cows in 14 days. Oregon Public Broadcasting reports the state has confirmed that wolves killed or hurt the cows from July 14 to July 26, and it approved a kill permit for the affected livestock producer. State rules allow for the lethal removal of wolves when repeated attacks present a significant risk to livestock and when nonlethal methods such as electric fencing or hazing havent stopped the attacks.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) The Boise Police Department says officers removed flags emblazoned with the emblem of the neo-fascist Proud Boys organization after someone hung them from several overpasses on a busy Idaho interstate. Police spokesperson Haley Williams told the Idaho Statesman that officers removed the flags on Saturday morning. It wasnt immediately clear who hung up the flags on Interstate 84 overpasses in Boise, but Williams said anyone with information should contact the police department. The Proud Boys are considered a hate group by organizations like the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center. Proud Boys members describe themselves as a politically incorrect mens club for Western chauvinists.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) The eviction moratorium in Idaho put in place by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to prevent the spread of the coronavirus ends Saturday, raising concerns that many Idaho renters could be made homeless. Idaho officials have spent about $34 million of the $214 million received in federal coronavirus rescue money to help with outstanding rent, utility payments and other expenses. But homeless advocates say documentation and a lack of internet access to participate in online court hearings have stymied many renters. Those evicted face a tough housing market as home prices and rents have risen sharply with Idahos rapid population growth.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) It has been a month since Oregon lifted statewide coronavirus-related restrictions, but this week the Gov. Kate Brown has announced the reimplementation of mask requirements in schools and state agency buildings. The return of some mask mandates in Oregon follows a surge in COVID-19 cases due to the highly transmissible delta variant and updated masking guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The latest mandate occurred Friday, when Brown announced new mask guidance for Executive Branch state agencies. The new guidance requires all state employees, visitors or customers regardless of vaccination status in any indoor state agency space to wear face coverings.
