He was closely fol- lowed by teammate Michael Villa who shot a round of 87, good enough for 5th overall. “This was a very good showing for their first 18-hole match of the year against the coastal varsity teams,” said Ukiah JV Head Coach Paul Moore. “The weather was perfect and the boys were able to come home with another close two stroke victory.” Kelseyville took second place with a score of 460; Willits 498, Mendocino 502, Fort Bragg 508 and Point The Ukiah Arena 529 rounded out the scoring.

Gualala Arts PPQG Quilt Challenge opening reception set for Saturday For over a dozen years on the coast, annual Gualala Arts Quilt Challenges have delighted residents and visitors with col- orful, creative examples of the art and craft of quilting. Even before local quilters organized to form Pacific Piecemakers Quilt Guild in 1996, they sponsored annual chal- lenge exhibits at Gualala Arts, each with a special theme or a required fabric or design element. Rules have always been sim- ple, and there’s no judge or jury: it’s all about participation. In 2006, as PPQG celebrated its tenth anniversary, many quilts from past Challenge shows were displayed in the foyer of Gualala Art Center. Challenge quilts emerge from such themes as Artistic Expression, The Nature of Things, Beyond our Borders (Ethnic inspiration), Something’s Fishy, The Beauty of Mathematics, the Millennium, Express Yourself (Self- Portraits), It’s the Little Things, or a specific quilting pattern such as Log Cabin. In 2006 there was the “Perfect Ten” exhib- it and in June 2007 the “Flights of Fantasy” exhibit paved the way for future challenges. In preparing their projects for these exhibits, quilters of all levels stretch to expand their skills and creativity -- and that’s the essence of “challenge.” The result is an exciting event that involves the wider community, as hundreds of people either attend the opening reception, or visit the show afterwards. PPQG’s 2008 Challenge, “I found it in the Library,” invited quilters to interpret the theme as broadly or narrowly as they wish. Chairing the event this year is Anna Hines. The public is invited to join the quilters in their opening reception from 5 to 7 p.m., Saturday, March 8. The exhibit will be up through April 6. Community Concert Association to hold kickoff dinner for membership Campaign on Monday The grand “Kickoff Dinner” for the Ukiah Community Concerts membership subscription campaign will be held at the North State Street Café on Monday, March 10. The gathering will begin at 5:30 p.m. Diana Thomas is chair of the annual event and promises some good food as well as lively entertain- ment. However, the main reason for the group to get together is for the review of the coming four concerts for the 2008-2009 season in order to promote their sale. Al Bellon is once more chair of the membership drive, and will speak to the volunteers who are going to be working to obtain new members as well as renew current memberships. Bellon suggests, “Don’t wait for a worker to come to you if you are interested in finding out more about joining Community Concerts. If you recognize a name on the workers list, you can just give him or her a call to find out more.” The four concerts will be: “PianaFiddle,” “A Tribute to Benny Goodman and Peggy Lee,” “Maya,” and “MackMcCray.” For more information, call Maggie Cooper at 463-2738 or Maggie Graham at 459-3466 in Willits. Mystic Theatre to present ‘Timeless Voices’ on Sunday Mystic Theatre will offer healing stories for wounded arche- types that are shared as part of being in the human race. The sto- ries are told as original monologues in first-person beginning with the huge issues of betrayal and freedom from oppression, read by Leeya Thompson. Music by Kristine Robin and the sounds of quartz singing bowls by Energy Tones will be part of the evening’s performance. All are invited to help them launch this once a month pro- gram on March 9, 7 to 8:30 p.m., to be held at the Center For Positive Living, 741 South Oak Street, Ukiah. For more infor- mation or be a participant in future programs, call Leeya Thompson at 467-8456, e-mail [email protected]. A donation of $5 at the door is requested. “Vegan Extravaganza” set for Monday Mendocino Opera Fresca and Stanford Inn by the Sea Resort and Spa invite the public to the premiere Vegan Extravaganza.

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.
