According to one the employees that has been laid off, Lucero Trucking lost it’s contract with DHL package delviery service and has shut down its operation in Willits putting between 12 and 15 people out of work. The woman who was a Lucero empoyee was told that DHL is cutting back on all its contrac- tor haulers and concentrating on having its own employees doing the work. For the moment, she says, there’s a lot of territiory, especially up in the North County that’s now up for grabs by UPs and FedEx (with whom some of these out of work Lucero employees hope to sign on). She says Lucero Trucking was at one time the Airborne Express hauler before DHL. “I wouldn’t be surprised to see them come back,” she said, of DHL, citing information from her Teamsters union rep who believes DHL will come back into the area with its own operation.

The deal, which adds one year onto the agreement he signed last October, runs through the 2014-15 season and includes a guaranteed $1.97 million for next season, rising to $2.3 million in the final year of the contract. The incentive package from his previous agreement, a maximum of $235,000, is retained in the new contract. His previous contract guaranteed compensation of $1.5 million for the 2007-2008 season and a boost to $2 million in the final year. He earned $1.2 million for the 2006-2007 season. “I have said this before, but there is no place I would rather be coaching than UCLA,” Howland said. “I grew up a Bruin basketball fan and this is my dream job.” Although the Bruins have been to the Final Four the last three years, one of only four schools ever to accom- plish that, they have yet to win an NCAA title under Howland. This year, they lost to Memphis in the national semifinals. The 51-year-old Howland took the Bruins to a school-record for wins on their way to a 35-4 record last season, and they won their third straight Pac- 10 title. That made Howland the first coach since Wooden to produce three confer- ence champions in a row. UCLA also has won two of the past three Pac-10 File Photo postseason tournaments.

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.
