THOMPSON HEARS CONCERNS OF MENDOCINO & LAKE CO. PHYSICIANS Task Force results in 6 Congressman’s checkup DUI arrests 14 other drivers cited The Daily Journal An Impaired Drivers Task Force imple- mented March 15 by the California Highway Patrol, in cooperation with other county agencies, yielded six arrests on suspicion of driving under the influence and 14 citations for various violations. Conducted in cooperation with the Fort Bragg Police Department and the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office, the IDTF was designed to detect and appre- hend drivers who were suspected to be under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. Officers from each of the participating agencies worked as part of a team to con- duct saturation patrol within the Fort Bragg area. The officers patrolled the area, seeking out drivers who may have been impaired. In addition to arrests and citations, 36 verbal warnings were served to motorists. Those who were arrested had their vehicles towed as each driver was taken to the Mendocino County Jail in Ukiah for booking. The IDTFs are operations that will be implemented throughout the year in vari- ous locations throughout Mendocino County. For the sake of yielding the great- est results, most of the IDTFs will take place in conjunction with major holiday weekends and special events. During times like those, the likelihood of alcohol consumption or other drug use is MacLeod Pappidas/The Daily Journal increased and can lead to more incidents.

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.
