The Daily Journal Jerry Wayne Garner, 10, and his 7- year-old sister, Brenda Kay Garner, were getting in some kite-flying in prepara- tion for the “Kiwanis Klub Kite Kontest” when Daily Journal staffer Glenn Erickson captured this image, published in the March 27, 1958 edition of the Ukiah Daily Journal. Six readers correctly identified this location at State Street and Seminary Avenue, looking east. At the time of this photograph, the fol- lowing businesses were located on the east side of the 400 block of State Street (from right to left in the photo): • 417 S.

Joseph Snodgrass said Saturday. “There is no room for error in this type of a situation.” Pearson spokesman David Hakensen said Saturday that the company won’t comment on pending litigation. College Board spokeswoman Chiara Coletti also declined to com- ment. The lawsuit, filed by attor- neys for an unidentified high school senior in Dix Hills, N.Y., seeks class action status. Lawyers want to allow anyone who took the test in October except those who got a marked- up score to join the lawsuit. The suit also seeks unspeci- fied damages, an order requir- ing adjustment of the inflated scores and a refund of the test fee. Test-takers whose scores were made too low had their results corrected, but the College Board has declined to fix the inflated scores. That has angered some college officials who say they could unfairly influence admissions and scholarship decisions. The SAT is taken by more than 2 million students and used by many colleges as a fac- tor in admissions. A-14 – SUNDAY, APRIL 9, 2006 LOCAL THE UKIAH DAILY JOURNAL

wishing your family a very happy Easter celebration

our family has arrived from out of town. y Everyone gathers around the big table for that big moment. Only one ham is good enough to serve – R aley’s Spiral Sliced Ham. At Raley’s, we know how important it is to have something special, which is why we rely on Bill Andreetta. We’ve counted on Bill for years to create an extra-special ham ex- clusively for us. Bill learned the craft from his father, then perfected his technique over the next 35 years. Bill starts with fresh hams, then hand-trims them. Then they’re hickory smoked – not once, but twice. Take one bite and you’ll taste the delicious difference – and so will your family.
