See RESTRAINING, Page 15 By BEN BROWN AT THE TRANSFER STATION/RECYCLING CENTER The Daily Journal The Mendocino County Board of Supervisors has settled on a prospective site for the county’s new jail. The board has narrowed a list of eight potential sites to one, the Brush Street Triangle, a piece of land at the end of Brush Street, east of State Street, bounded by Highway 101 and the fairgrounds. “We think it’s a good location,” said Assistant CEO Alison Glassey. “It’s close, but it’s not in the middle of everything.” “It’s not next to the high school,” she said. The Brush Street site meets all of the minimum requirements for the jail site: at least 20 acres of property, direct access to Highway 101, utility service and limited site hazards. The Brush Street site has more than 50 acres of available space with vacant indus- trial land on three sides and the fairgrounds on the other. Problems with the site include that it sits partially in a flood plain and has limited access to Highway 101, according to a pre- MacLeod Pappidas/The Daily Journal sentation Glassey gave the board.

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.
