EVERGREENS, WREATHS, CRAFTS AND MORE Ukiah native gets Medal of Valor honors By BEN BROWN The Daily Journal A former Ukiah resident received the Medal of Valor from Attorney General Michael Munkasey this week for his actions as a police officer when four men suspected of armed robbery tried to run him over in a parking lot. “In a line of work where courageous acts can be part of one’s daily duties, these extraordinary men set themselves apart through deeds of incredible self-sacrifice and we salute them,” Munkasey said. On May 22, 2006, Kevin Howland, who grew up in Ukiah, was working as an offi- cer with the Sacramento Police Department when he was called to respond to an armed robbery. Two men had allegedly robbed a young man at gunpoint at around 1 p.m., taking his wallet. The suspects fled the scene in a maroon Chrysler. Howland responded to the area and saw a vehicle that matched the description the victim had given in the parking lot of the Natomas Market Place. Howland saw two people in the front seat of the car who matched the description given by the robbery victim. He parked his patrol car to block their exit, called for backup and got out of his car. One of the suspects began to walk away from the car and Howland ordered MacLeod Pappidas/The Daily Journal him to stop and get back in the car.

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.
