GrOCerS tO hold Sale at Honor Lights raise dollars for Clinic art
Community Center
Grand Ronde tribal member Andy Auger
and his wife Rebecca will be holding a spe
cial discount grocery sale on Friday, Janu
ary 31 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Satur-.
day, February 1 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at
the tribal Community Center. The sale will
be open to all tribal and non-tribal members.
There will be no minimums and they will
accept all the usual forms of payment. (All
items are within the expiration date and are
safe to use.)
Andy is a liquidation broker and handles
overstocks, closeouts, and surplus goods for
many leading name-brand foods you will
recognize. Some of the items featured for
this sale will include soups, hot and cold
cereals, coffee, jell-o, chips, plastic baggies,
pet food, and many others.
"If a case of food is dropped in a store,
the whole case is sold as salvage," he said.
"We will bring some health and beauty
items, cleaning supplies, and housewares.
We will bring as much variety as we can to
this first sale, but please don't expect to walk
into a full-service grocery store. We prom
ise not to ask you if you want paper or plas
tic, though!"
Part of the reason for this sale is to help
with the Grand Ronde Food Bank. So af
ter the sale, Andy will be assisting with the
outfitting of the food bank facility and will
be offering many items to the Food Bank
at cost, if they are interested.
Andy and Rebecca Auger have owned
and operated Coyote Ridge Liquidators for
three years and currently liquidate food and
goods of all kinds. They have operated as
many as three full-time retail stores at once,
including one in Lincoln City. After they
got married and realized they never got to
spend any time together because of work,
they decided to slow down.
Andy said, "Rebecca and I have talked
about doing a sale like this in Grand Ronde
for sometime, but have been too busy. We
look forward to this first sale and hope to
meet some new friends in Grand Ronde as
well as help out the Food Bank."

Public Notice
Environmental Assessment completed
and finding of no significant impact issued for the proposed
GUMSHOE THIN LOGGING UNIT, GRAND RONDE INDIAN RESERVATION.
The Environmental Assessment (EA) and a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI)
have been issued for the proposed Gumshoe Thin Logging Unit in Sections 7, 12, and
18, T.4S., R.7W., W.M. on the Grand Ronde Indian Reservation. The EA discloses the
issues relating to the environmental resources affected by the Proposed Action and al
ternatives to the Proposed Action. The EA further discloses the analysis of the likely
environmental consequences of the Proposed Action and alternatives to the Proposed
Action. The FONSI discloses the alternative selected by the responsible official and
gives supporting reasons for this selection. The Preferred Alternative, Alternative A,
would thin a 46 year-old stand of Douglas-fir and construct 0.76 mile of road. The
thinning would harvest approximately 50 1,000 board feet of timber from 35.3 acres of
partial cut area and 3.4 acres of clear-cut area for roads and landings. The stand would
be "thinned from below," meaning the smaller, suppressed trees will be taken out to
favor the vigorous, dominant trees in the stand.
The EA and FONSI are available for public review and comment for a period of 15
days beginning the first day after publication of this notice. The responsible public
official is: Mr. Stan Speaks, Portland Area Director for the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
Written comments and requests for copies of the EA and FONSI should be addressed
to: Mr.. Jeff Kuust, Logging and Transportation Coordinator, Confederated Tribes of
Grand Ronde, Natural Resources Division, P.O. Box 70, Willamina, OR. 97396. For
further information you can contact Jeff Kuust at (503) 879-2379. Written comments
must include (1) your name, address, and telephone number; (2) title of the document
on which you are commenting; (3) specific facts or comments along with supporting
reasons that you believe the responsible official should consider. Comments received
will be considered before taking final action.
