UNDATED (AP) — Utah's $1.9 billion claim against the Environmental Protection Agency for a multi-state mine waste spill says Utah's water, soil and wildlife were damaged, but offers no specifics.

NAMPA, Idaho (AP) — An Idaho man with a large, rare tumor on the right side of his face is asking for help with the medical costs to remove it. KTVB-TV reports 18-year-old Lucas McCulley of Nampa was born with a rare and painful tumor that doctors told him was inoperable because it kept growing along with him. Now that he's older, doctors say removing the tumor is possible, but the procedure would be costly to McCulley since he does not have health insurance.
