According to reports from the UPD, Anthony King, 33, of Ukiah, was arrested on suspicion of burglary, lewd acts with a child and vandalism at an apartment at 625 N. State St. Police were called to the apartment by a resident who had found King asleep on the couch in his underwear along with the resident’s 5-year-old child. King’s hand was in the 5-year-old’s underwear, according to UPD reports. The resident pulled the child away from King, told him to leave and called 911. Officers responded and arrested King on the above listed charges. According to UPD reports, officers believe King got into the apartment by knocking down a fence in the back yard and entering through a partially open slid- ing glass door. The resident did not know King and had no idea why King was in MacLeod Pappidas/The Daily Journal the apartment, according to UPD reports.

the commerce file By K.C. Meadows The American Institute of Architects sent out its semi-annual Consensus Construction Forecast, a sur- vey of the nation’s leading construction forecasters. The survey says that weakness in the overall U.S. economy is translating to a tempered fore- cast for the nonresidential construction market, and spending is expected to increase by a modest 0.7 per- cent in 2008 in inflation adjusted terms. Led by demand for institutional pro- jects, the growth in 2008 is expected to be at a slower pace than recent years, with commercial projects likely to see the most decrease. Also there is expected to be contin- ued volatility in the costs of building materials. Maybe this is part of the reason I hear the new retail construction project in the Redwood Business Park has Dan Honda/Contra Costa Times been called off.

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.
