Profile Story Ideas

1. Business Profile: Plummer Forest ProductsPlummer, Idaho is a quaint, rustic community highly dependent on Plummer Forest Products. More than 10,000 logs pass through the mill everyday, keeping the town's economy alive. An article depicting the daily operations of Plummer Forest Products and the lives of its employees would serve as a representation of the hundreds of other local businesses struggling to weather the economic decline.

2. Business Profile: Boyer Park Marina
The Boyer Park Marina is located only a few hundred yards from the Lower Granite Dam, which has been singled out for possible dam breaching. Talking to the owners and finding how changes in the flow regime of the river would affect their business would provide another angle to my previous works on dam removal.

3. Business Profile of Palouse Synergy Systems and its owner Michael Carlton.
Palouse Energy Systems has received media attention due to its involvement with the recent Whitman County wind ordinance. Finding out why Carlton started his business in Eastern Washington and how he hopes to make local communities more environmentally sustainable would shine light on the ever growing green movement.
