He was 14 years old at the time of the shoot- ing but is being tried as an adult. In a report presented to the court Thursday, psychiatrist Dr. Albert Castl found that Escareno is competent to stand trial, echoing a report from Forensic Psychologist Dr. Kevin Kelly. Psychiatrist Dr. Art Martinez evaluated Escareno in 2007 and found him to have expressive receptive disorder and therefore not competent to stand trial. Escareno’s lawyer, Katharine Elliott, said she felt the court should hear arguments on Escareno’s competency because she believes he is unable to understand complex issues and is having difficulty participating in his own defense. “I’ve found myself with a growing con- cern about his ability to communicate,” she said. Elliott said she has been contacted by several community members and local psy- chiatrists and, based on those contacts, she now believes that Escareno may have fetal MacLeod Pappidas/The Daily Journal alcohol syndrome, a physical and mental Zack Leventis sits in the empty restaurant where he ran his business for 20 years.

Elliott said she needs to get a more detailed medical history for Escareno and have him evaluated by a neuro-psychiatrist. Proprietor plans to continue Deputy District Attorney Matthew Finnegan said he still believes Escareno is competent to stand trial and that Elliott has longtime catering business not presented substantial evidence to the contrary.

Behind Les Schwab Tire Ovechkin agreed to a multi- year contract extension Thursday with the Washington Capitals, working out the details himself in negotiations with owner Ted Leonsis and general manager George McPhee. The Capitals scheduled a press conference for 8:30 p.m. to officially announce the deal. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. The 22-year-old Russian star was in the final season of a three-year, entry-level deal. His salary-cap number for this season, taking into account bonuses, is $3.83 million. If he had become a free agent at the end of the season, the Capitals would have had the right to match any offer from another team. Leonsis long maintained he intended to make sure Ovechkin remained with the Capitals. Ovechkin has led the Capitals in scoring in each of his seasons. He entered Thursday tied for second in the NHL with 32 goals, help- ing Washington surge from the league’s worst record to the fringe of playoff race. He also had 20 assists. The wing had 52 goals and 54 assists in 2005-06, when he edged Pittsburgh forward Sidney Crosby in the voting for the Calder Trophy as the THE UKIAH DAILY JOURNAL FRIDAY, JAN. 11, 2008 -A-9

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.
