At 12:30 a.m. Monday, a 25-year-old man was found dead in his car, 150-feet off of Highway 162 near the Rodeo Creek Bridge, said California Highway Patrol Officer Stefanie Barnwell. The car was found by California Department of Transportation employees who were clearing the road. CHP officers rappelled down to the car and found the driver, who appeared to have died in the accident. CHP is still investigating the accident, and trying to determine the driver’s identification. Barnwell said he is believed to be local. It is not known when the car went off the road or why, but Barnwell did say the weather in the area has been bad. Snow was visible in the hills surrounding the Ukiah Valley Monday morning and there have been reports of up to four inches of snow at higher eleva- tions in the county. Cold weather and rain are expected to continue in the county through at least Thursday.

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.
