Hendry testified that, even if all three recommendations had been on display when he arrived, he would still have believed Hamburg’s garden was out of compliance because he believed she had more than the legal amount of processed marijuana in her house based on the size of the harvested plants. At the time, Mendocino County law said a medical marijuana care giver could grow 25 plants and possess two pounds of processed mar- ijuana per valid patient.

Federal officials have agreed to recon- sider whether the prairie dog found west of the Continental Divide should be pro- tected. The agreement settles a lawsuit by conservation groups, which say the prairie dog’s numbers have declined by 92 percent across its range. The white-tailed prairie dog lives in Colorado, Utah, Montana and Wyoming. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will start a new review by May 1 and will make a decision by June 2010, agency spokeswoman Diane Katzenberger said. Federal officials rejected placing the rodent on the endangered species list in 2004. Last year, the agency reversed the decisions against placing the white-tailed prairie dog and other species on the list The Associated Press after an investigation found that a former DENVER -- Federal wildlife managers have dramatically high-ranking Interior Department official increased the amount of land they want to designate as critical inappropriately influenced the original habitat for the Canada lynx, a threatened species. findings. with Denver-based Center for Native negative decision, according to the The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said Thursday it wants to Conservation groups then sued to Ecosystems. memo.

THE LEARNING CHALLENGER by Robert Barnett

DIRECTIONS: A. Using each "Chaos Grid" number with its letter one time, arrange the numbers with their letters for the "Order Grid" so each vertical column, horizontal row, and two diagonals each ADD to numbers inside thick lined cells. B. Some correct numbers with their letters have been put into the "Order Grid" to get you started. Also, above the "Order Grid" is a "Decoded Message" clue. C. After you have solved the "Order Grid" doing as direction "A" says, put the let- ters from horizontal rows, from left to right, under "Decoded Message" and make words to form the answer.
