FOR RELEASE MONDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2014, AT 1:01 A.M. CST - In this Feb. 6, 2014 photo, a warning sign for fisherman is posted along Lank Yankton in Yankton, S.D. Plans are slowly progressing on a solution to the growth in invasive fish species in Lake Yankton. However, Nebraska Game & Parks Commission fisheries biologist Jeff Schuckman said there is a long way to go before tackling the proposed "chemical renovation," a process that involves partial draining the lake and introducing a chemical meant to kill off the fish in the lake.

Wood burns in the wood burning stove of Darwin Woods that he uses to heat both his home and water Friday, Feb. 21, 2014, at his home near Clark, Mo. Woods says he considers the proposed EPA rule for new wood-stoves the latest example of an agency run amok. Proposed regulations from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that would significantly reduce the amount of particle pollution allowed from the smokestacks of new residential wood-powered heaters have sparked a backlash from some rural residents, lawmakers and manufacturers who fear it could close the damper on one of the oldest ways of warming homes on cold winter days.
