Meadows, 468-3526 The Ukiah Daily Journal [email protected] Letters from our readers VIEWPOINTS Cannabis has a long history here To the Editor: Thank you, Marc Parsley for asking the THOMAS D. ELIAS readers the query. What kind of county do we live in? The polarization of our commu- nities over these two issues is emblematic of the overarching situation each of us is continuously being distracted by. Maybe we could find the commonalities of each in Will courts have to order to clarify some of the confusion.

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.
