Idaho issues permit for megaload to cross state

BOISE, Idaho (AP) - Snow has delayed a 450-ton shipment of oilfield equipment from moving into Idaho as it rumbles toward the tar sands oil development in Canada.

The company hauling the megaload had expected to cross the border from Vale, Ore., into Idaho on Friday night.

Spokeswoman Holly Zander says they will have to wait for better weather, and hope to try again Saturday night.

Meanwhile, the state of Idaho has issued a permit for the megaload to use highways crossing the southern part of the state on its way to Montana.

The equipment was manufactured in Portland, and carried by barge up the Columbia River to the Port of Umatilla, then loaded on a huge trailer.

Environmentalists have tried to block the shipment, contending tar-sands development will contribute to global warming.

But first you must learn how to smile as you kill 
If you want to be like the folks on the hill."
