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.

Current tenants who aren’t able to buy one of the condo- miniums or obtain one of the few rental units will be able to stay at the complex while the renovations are phased in, which Deringer said could take up to a year-and-a-half. When tenants must relocate, Deringer has agreed to reim- burse them for up to $1,000 in moving costs and three months rent. Roommates Michel Shenkin and Sean Russel, who live in the complex, addressed the commission at the meeting Fri- day. “The gentleman who bought 175 Laws stepped in a pile, lit- erally, and he is trying, but we would like to see that we have a safe place to live that we can afford,” Russel, a cook at Trini- ty School, said. Making $9 an hour, he lives paycheck to paycheck, and said he hopes he will be able to get one of the rental units because there are few other places in the Ukiah Valley he can afford. Deringer said Odyssey Development plans to open an office in Ukiah soon and is looking for other projects in the area, including those that will create jobs in the community. “There are two types of developers...There are ones who come in, build their pro- ject and leave. And then there are those who try to come here and be a part of the communi- ty,” Deringer said. With approval of the condo- minium conversion out of the way, the next step, he said, is working to clean up all of Laws Avenue. The complex will like- ly be gated and monitored by security cameras, but that alone won’t put an end to crime on the street. “What’s going on at Laws can’t just be our problem. It’s got to be a community (and) county problem, because it affects the whole street,” Deringer said, adding that he plans to speak to the Board of Supervisors soon about increasing law enforcement in the area and other programs to help the neighborhood.
