The Daily Journal COMMUNITY SPORTS | JR. BEARS Ukiah, CA - The Mendocino College Women’s Volleyball team Wildcats swept two matches last week in Bay Valley Conference play. On Wednesday, Mendocino trav- eled to Contra Costa College and defeated the Comets 30-28, 30-16, 30-26. Leading the way on offense for the Eagles, were Sophomore Jamie Brown (15 kills) and Sophomore Alisa Cannia who added eight kills. Coach Ori Polkinghorne credited Brown’s performance with being the difference in the match: “Jamie had one of her best matches of the season tonight, she combined power and efficiency—they had no answer for her.” Defensively, Sophomore Sarah Luetke had 15 digs, freshman Cassie Willis had eight digs and freshman Marcie Brendlen added nine more. Sophomore Jenny Stark’s eight point service run late in the second game broke the match open for the Eagles. On Friday, Mendocino went on the road for the second time in a week to take on the College of Alameda. Once again, the Eagles were tri- umphant, winning in straight sets 30- 26, 30-21, 30-27. Though the Eagles struggled with consistency, they took advantage of Alameda’s mistakes. “We were far from our best tonight, but we managed to win in three and take care of business,” Polkinghorne said. Mendocino improved to 5-5 in conference and 8-11 overall. This week Mendocino is home for both Wednesday and Friday matches. “If we execute like we should, I like our chances against Laney and then on Friday, we could give Napa photo courtesy Suzette Cook-Mankins/ ROP photo teacher Valley (first place in league) a bat- Hopland Jr. Bears offense huddles up on Saturday as they wait for the play to be sent in from the sidelines.

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.

MacLeod Pappidas/The Daily Journal Redwood Valley-Calpella firefighters remove Richard Renard, 60, of Nice, from a Ford Aerostar van. Renard was driving the van east on Highway 20 at around 3 p.m. Wednesday when he drove into the south guardrail of the Russian River Bridge. His vehicle bounced off the guardrail, into the opposite lane of traffic and collided with the north guardrail, crossed back into the eastbound lane and struck the south guardrail again, coming to a stop. He suffered lacera- tions to the face and arms and was taken by Ukiah Ambulance Service to Ukiah Valley Medical Center for treatment. Alcohol is considered a factor in the acci- dent, according to CHP reports. Watch Repair
