BUSINESS BY THE BLOCK

Editor’s note: When you’re driving, biking or walking around in downtown Ukiah do you often look over at a storefront and say to yourself “Gee, I didn’t know that was there.” Well, so do we. So we thought we’d start a kind of business census by photographing and identifying downtown businesses block by block, week to week, here on the Commerce Page. It's nothing fancy, just a quick look at what’s there. Of course it will take us some time to go through State, School and Main streets and then up and down Perkins, Gobbi and other streets. And that's just within the city limits. But we figure, like painting the Golden Gate Bridge, when we’re done, we’ll just have to start over. We hope you’ll enjoy discovering what’s out there.

Meadows, 468-3526 The Ukiah Daily Journal [email protected] Letters from our readers Sweet land of liberty Thank you To the Editor: It has been a year since Joan Wolfe, a Ukiah resident and a worker bee at NAT HENTOFF County Social Services passed away after a two-year battle with cancer. It would be impossible to list all the people who came forward while Joan was on hospice care for the three months preceding her death. Over 100 workers from Social Services committed themselves to Joan. A silent 'Old Europe' tests auction that lasted for days was held at the State Street offices of Social Services and the proceeds along with a celestial quilt our new values that is a work of art was given to Joan.

You said that he has learned some of the issues over the past year. Tell me - what else can one do to learn the job besides attend every board meeting and workshop. There is no Supervisor 101 available. Colfax has been in office for eight years and that is enough. He is going to do what he has done for the past few years and that is getting nothing done. I’m not a mirror image of Colfax. I would have voted 5 times out of 7 of the last issues before the board differ- ently then he did. I would have voted for the aggressive panhandling ordinance and the camping ordinance. I would have voted against giving the Lodging Association 300K (where the money coming from?)I would have voted to appoint K. Broin interim Sheriff-he voted against. So don’t tell the people that I share his views. I want to do something about meth and he has done nothing. The ordinance he helped pass was a sham. It affected five drugstores.

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.
