Speaker concerned by 'wolving of America'

POST FALLS - Jim Beers believes the wolf controversy will jolt urban centers after all. And, when it does, it won't be pretty. Beers, a retired U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologist and wolf expert from Minnesota, told about 50 people attending his talk on "The Wolving of America" on Wednesday that disease-carrying wolves will wander along recreation paths on the outskirts of cities and the diseases will spread to homes through dogs.
