PREPARATIONS UNDER WAY FOR THIS WEEKEND’S EVENT OF THE HEART RV man accused of threatening with knife Jailed on charges of attempted murder The Daily Journal A Redwood Valley man was arrested on charges of attempted murder Tuesday night after he allegedly threat- ened a woman with a kitchen knife over the weekend. According to reports from the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office, the woman, a 64-year-old Redwood Valley resident, called sheriff’s deputies and told them she had been attacked by her roommate, John Ayotte, 66, of Redwood Valley. The victim told deputies that, on Sunday, Ayotte grabbed a kitchen knife and threatened her, chasing her out into the yard. Ayotte allegedly grabbed the woman by the throat and threatened to stab her, according to sheriff’s reports. The woman told deputies she knocked the knife out of the suspect’s hand and escaped his hold. A neighbor then came out of a nearby house, allowing the woman to flee the home. At 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, sheriff’s deputies drove to Ayotte’s home in the MacLeod Pappidas/The Daily Journal 8400 block of Uva Drive and arrested Cyril Colonius, executive director of MCAVN , is preparing for the 21st annual Event of the Heart, to be held Saturday him on suspicion of attempted murder night at the Redwood Empire Fairgrounds. and threats.

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.
