Sheriff returns to Hopland By BEN BROWN The Daily Journal Mendocino County Sheriff READ Tom Allman will hold a sec- ond public meeting in Hopland on Sunday. “We’re going to be talking about forming a neighbor- hood watch, traffic and over- all safety,” Allman said. Allman will be joined by California Highway Patrol Capt. Ray Madrigal. Allman said the meetings have been incredibly helpful to police because they create a dialogue with the community. In addition to meetings in Hopland, the Sheriff’s Office has also been organizing monthly meetings in Covelo to discuss crime trends, dis- cuss major arrests in the area Across America and get feedback from the community. More than 30 people attended Allman’s January meeting to discuss general topics of crime in Hopland, including graffiti, gang vio- lence and marijuana cultiva- tion.

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.
