Letters to the Voicing concerns To the editor, Complete, Timely, Honest and Friendly service is very effective customer service for any business but I question why Tribal Members cannot receive this from our own Tribal Council, our own entities, etc.? I will also question why we cannot implement new, updated tribal laws to protect our People? I see that the "Libel" law didn't take any time to pass! And for this I question, why is it this tribal law was passed so quickly, is it because Certain People did not want to hear the questions thrown at them or docs the truth really hurt? Or could it quite possibly be that there is truth to the rumor that this Tribal Council is spending our Rainy Day Fund Monies?

As the old saying goes, In Order to get Respect, You Got to Give Respect! The new non-Indian employee, Mike Van Meter has recently drove up in our commu nity and so I question, HOW CAN A NFAV COMER DETERMINE IF VOICING OF CONCERNS ARE LIBEL OR MALI CIOUS?! Is he only going on ORDERS from his superior or tribal council? Has he been around long enough to know what's really going on in our backyard? In order to build a more positive profes sional image for the CTW'S newspaper, may I suggest inserting a page for Tribal Mem bers Concerns! It's only evident that the Agency District Tribal Council Reps do not communicate with their People on a timelv points; Chasen Walker had 16 and Wells 13 to lead the attack on offense. Dresslerville had all the answers and won the contest by the score of 74-63. Coach Greene stated "For play ing seven games in two days the boys did a great job. But I think they just ran out of gas. They came out sluggish in the first game but finished strong and played some great basket ball in the end."
