The 30-day public comment peri- od about what should be included in the environmental document ended on January 14. About 25 members of the public attended the tribe's December 13 scoping meeting, including members of city and coun- ty government. Key issues raised during the scoping meeting were water and sewer services, traffic and emergency services in addition to any added water and air quality issues. The process requires the tribe consider issues raised by the public when preparing the Tribal Environmental Impact Statement for the project. Once the draft TEIS is published, the public has 45 days to comment on it. The TEIS will be available for review on http//www.qfirst.net.

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.

Free money: national handout clogging phone lines as people everywhere scramble to beat 72 hour deadline

By Adam K. Oyler UNIVERSAL MEDIA SYNDICATE

Have you heard about the free money giveaway that’s sweeping the nation? Well, listen up because here it is. Everyone who gets in on this will be among the fi rst to get the U.S. Govern- ment’s dazzling new Presidential Dollar coins. But the government is not the one to thank. The World Reserve has just an- nounced it is handing out the entire year of the valuable coins free. These extraordinary coins are being given away free to everyone who beats the deadline to cover shipping and the discounted $28 framing fee for the newly unveiled Presidential Framed Money Gallery. So, what’s the catch? There is none. Just be absolutely sure to call in your claim before the 72 hour deadline if you want to get the entire four coin year set of Presidential coins free. This is all happening because the World Reserve is issuing the Presiden- tial Framed Money Gallery to the gen- eral public to display all forty of the U.S. Government’s fi rst ever Presidential Dollar coins. Rations of these never- circulated coins are uncertain because each dollar coin is only minted for just 93 days according to the release schedule of the U.S. Government. “These new Presidential coins are so stunning because they’re actually en- graved with edge lettering bearing the date, Mint mark, IN GOD WE TRUST and E PLURIBUS UNUM, which results in the coin’s rare tactile feel,” said Director Aaron L.

The unveiling of the Framed Presidential Money Gallery stole the show from presidential performers Tim Watters and Brent Mendenhall who were helping to hand out the free coins.
