Tricks of trade·in selling homes
(MS) - Selling a home and
home improvement go hand in
hand. Homeowners who have sold
a home in the past are well aware
that before the "For Sale" sign gets
staked out in the front yard, sever• al steps need to be taken to make a
home more attractive to prospective buyers.
Improving the exterior of home
before sale is what's known as
increasing its curb appeal. Firsttime home sellers would be surprised what a few seemingly
minor changes on the outside can
do to make a home more attractive
to buyers. In addition, it never
hurts to pull a few tricks on the
inside as well.
• Trim trees; bushes and
shrubs: Few thinss are more
unsightly outside a home than
vegetation that's not well taken
care of. Unkempt vegetation gives
the impression that owners
weren't fond of upkeep and might
have let other things slide as well.
Make sure all trees, bushes and
shrubs are well-trimmed before
any prospective buyers come over
to look at the house.
• Clean tbe patio: An attractive
area.for many home buyc;rs is the
patio. Most will want an area outside to relax and have a barbecue.
Clean your patio thoroughly and
replace any old furniture to highlight how valuable a nice outdoor
space this can be.
• Create an inviting aroma:
Once homeowners enter a home,
there are a number of tricks sellers
can use to make the home more
·attractive. l!'s not uncommon for
real estate agents to suggest baking
a loaf of bread or other food that
smells great shortly before the
house is shown. Close the windows and oven fan when doing so
to maximize the resulting aroma
and allow it to spread throughout
the house.
For areas of the house where the
baking smells can't reach, try other
tricks but avoid using potpourri. A
lot of people are allergic to pot-
pourri and may not be able to continue their tour of the house if the
smell is too prevalent.
• Use your fireplace to your
advantage: If your home has a
frreplace and you're selling it in
colder months, by all means light
the fireplace before showing the
house. Lots of people dream of
having a home with a functioning
fireplace so make it a focal point
whenever possible.
• Create illusions: You don't
need to be David Copperfield or
Harry Houdini to create illusions
that make your home appear more
spacious than it really is. Instead,
remove any excess furniture that
isn't absolutely necessary for the
times when ·you're not showing
the house. Chances are, rooms in
your home appear cluttered to
. people who don't live there, and
clutter creates the illusion that a
place is small. Do the opposite by
removing excess furniture and you
might even like the resulting extra
. space as well.

ANCIENT OLYMPIA,
Greece
Firefighters
backed by aircraft dropped
water and foam on the birthplace of the ancient Olympics
Sunday to stop wildfires from
burning the 2,800-year-old
ruins, one of the most revered
sites of antiquity.
,But the fires burning for

ftres broke out faster than
others could be brought
under control. Desperate residents appealed through television stations for help from
a ftrefighting service already
stretched to the limit and
many blamed authorities for
leaving them defenseless.
"Fires are burning in more
than half the country," said
fire department spokesman
Nikos Diamandis. "This is
definitely an unprecedented
disaster for Greece."
Early Monday morning,

major fires were still blazing out of control.
Government and fire-

of the blazes, and several

The government offered a
reward of up to $1J6 mil•
lion for anyone providing
information that would lead
to the arrest of an arsonist.
Forest fires are common
during Greece's hot, dry
summers - but nothing has
approached the scale of the
last three days. Arson is
often suspected, mostly to
clear land for development.
No construction is allowed
in Greece in areas designated as forest land, and fires
are sometimes set to circumvent the law.

ANNIE'S MAILBOX
Don't give nosy mom
a reason to snoop
BY KATHY MITCHELL
AND MARCY 5uuR
Dear Annie: I am a 25year-old woman, still living
at home while I complete
my master's degree.
·
Mom likes to go through
my things. She went
.through my dresser arid
rearranged all' my clothing.
Granted, it looks very
neat, but things are missin~. Did she think I wasn't
goang to notice? When I
asked if she ~ot rid of anything else Without my permission, she replied, "You
should be grateful I've
cleaned up your mess!"
She's even gone through
my car. while I've been in
class, i'nsisting she · was
looking for something and
didn't want to bother me
by asking where it was.
I admit I'm not the most
organized person in the
world, but if seeing a messy
room bothers her that much,
she should just close the
door. Annie, should I be
grateful to her, or should she
respect my privacy because
I'm an adult? No
Boundaries in Michigan
Dear Michigan: We
lhink your molher is using
the cleaning excuse to
check up on you, but this is
one of the hazards of living
at home. Promise to keep
your room neater if she will
stay out of it. You should
not give her a reason to
snoop. The only other alternative is to buy a lock and
use it. We also recommend
you find your own place as
soon as you are fmancially
able to do sp. Look into
campus· housing or search
craigslist.org for apartments
and roommates.
Dear Annie: My husband
and I purchased a house last
year. Our next-door neighbors are very friend! y and
we like them, but I cannot
stand their children, ages
10, 8 and 7.
It's fairly obvious that I ·
can't tolerate the behavior
of these kids. They don't
listen to their parents, who
also do not pay attention to
the kids while they're at our
house, which forces my
husband and me to tell them
not to break our 3-year-old
daughter's toys or roughhouse in the living room.
One night, the family was
over and the boys started a
ftre on our patio.
From what I've seen,
lhey don't have to follow
rules at home, so they don't
know any better. I won't let
my daughter play at their
house anymore. Period. My
husband thinks I'm being
too harsh . Do you? Caring Mom
Dear Mom: You don't
have to Jet these children
into your home if they are
destructive, although it 's
perfectly OK to say, "We
need to keep a close watch
on the kids. That patio fire
scared me to death." As for
your dauglwer, a 3-year-old
ts too young to play with
those children without your
personal supervision, so
she shouldn't be there ·on
her own anyway. If you are
present to watch her, what ·
do you care if the boys
break their parents' tables
and set fire to their porch?
They sound like a handful
aild their parents have
given up. But as long as
they aren't doing it in your
house, try not to make it
your
problem.
When
you've had all you can
stand, pick up your daughter and go home.
Dear Annie: Here are
some su~gestions for "Bill's
Busy Wife," who wants to
know what to do with her
retiree husband:
Substitute teachers are
always at a premium.
Teach an adult literacy
class. Call the local department for families and children and see if an elderly
person needs transportation to the doctor's office,
Read to children at elementary schools.
Help serve meals at a
local rescue mission. Walk
dogs at lhe animal shelter.
Call the activity director at a
nursing home and ask what
volunteers can do. Learn to
crochet and make caps for
cancer patients.
Once people find out that
Bill is willing to volunteer,
they'll find jobs for him that
are within his physical limitations.
Amy in
Cyberspace
Dear Amy: These are
terrific su~gestions, and
we hope Bill - and anyone else who is looking to
keep busy - will check
them out.

ANCIENT OLYMPIA,
Greece
Firefighters
backed by aircraft dropped
water and foam on the birthplace of the ancient Olympics
Sunday to stop wildfires from
burning the 2,800-year-old
ruins, one of the most revered
sites of antiquity.
,But the fires burning for
thfee straight days obliterated vast swathes of the country and the death toll rose by
ll on Sunday to 60. New
ftres broke out faster than
others could be brought
under control. Desperate residents appealed through television stations for help from
a ftrefighting service already
stretched to the limit and
many blamed authorities for
leaving them defenseless.
"Fires are burning in more
than half the country," said
fire department spokesman
Nikos Diamandis. "This is
definitely an unprecedented
disaster for Greece."
Early Monday morning,
the ftre department said 42
major fires were still blazing out of control.
Government and fire-
fighting officials have suggested arson caused many
of the blazes, and several
,x:ople had been arrested.
The government offered a
reward of up to $1J6 mil•
lion for anyone providing
information that would lead
to the arrest of an arsonist.
Forest fires are common
during Greece's hot, dry
summers - but nothing has
approached the scale of the
last three days. Arson is
often suspected, mostly to
clear land for development.
No construction is allowed
in Greece in areas designated as forest land, and fires
are sometimes set to circumvent the law.
The front of one fire
Sunday reaahed Ancient
Olympia in southern Greece,
burning trees and shrubs just
a. few yards from the museurn at the site. Firefighters
said the flames, fanned by
high winds and swirling air,
leaped hundreds of feet in
the air at times.
The nearby grounds of the
International
Olympic
Academy were com]'Jletely
burned, as was the grove
where the heart of Pierre de
Coubertin, the founder of
the
modern Olympic
Games, i5 buried.
Although the pristine forest around Ancient Olympia
was burned, none of the
ruins were damaged.
Ruined temples of Zeus,
king of the ancient Greek
gods, and his wife Hera
stand on what was a lush
riverside site - a flat
stretch of land surrounded
by pine-clad hills - near
the stadium that hosted the
ancient Olympic games for
more than 1,000 years after ·
.they started in 776 B.C. The
site strewn with fallen
columns includes the
remains of a gymnasium, a
wrestling hall, hostels, bathhouses, priests' residences
and altars. The 5th century
B.C. limestone temple of
Zeus is one of the largest in ,
mainland Greece.

Helicopters and aircraft

reached the edge of the

ANNIE'S MAILBOX
Don't give nosy mom
a reason to snoop
BY KATHY MITCHELL
AND MARCY 5uuR
Dear Annie: I am a 25year-old woman, still living
at home while I complete
my master's degree.
·
Mom likes to go through
my things. She went
.through my dresser arid
rearranged all' my clothing.
Granted, it looks very
neat, but things are missin~. Did she think I wasn't
goang to notice? When I
asked if she ~ot rid of anything else Without my permission, she replied, "You
should be grateful I've
cleaned up your mess!"
She's even gone through
my car. while I've been in
class, i'nsisting she · was
looking for something and
didn't want to bother me
by asking where it was.
I admit I'm not the most
organized person in the
world, but if seeing a messy
room bothers her that much,
she should just close the
door. Annie, should I be
grateful to her, or should she
respect my privacy because
I'm an adult? No
Boundaries in Michigan
Dear Michigan: We
lhink your molher is using
the cleaning excuse to
check up on you, but this is
one of the hazards of living
at home. Promise to keep
your room neater if she will
stay out of it. You should
not give her a reason to
snoop. The only other alternative is to buy a lock and
use it. We also recommend
you find your own place as
soon as you are fmancially
able to do sp. Look into
campus· housing or search
craigslist.org for apartments
and roommates.
Dear Annie: My husband
and I purchased a house last
year. Our next-door neighbors are very friend! y and
we like them, but I cannot
stand their children, ages
10, 8 and 7.
It's fairly obvious that I ·
can't tolerate the behavior
of these kids. They don't
listen to their parents, who
also do not pay attention to
the kids while they're at our
house, which forces my
husband and me to tell them
not to break our 3-year-old
daughter's toys or roughhouse in the living room.
One night, the family was
over and the boys started a
ftre on our patio.
From what I've seen,
lhey don't have to follow
rules at home, so they don't
know any better. I won't let
my daughter play at their
house anymore. Period. My
husband thinks I'm being
too harsh . Do you? Caring Mom
Dear Mom: You don't
have to Jet these children
into your home if they are
destructive, although it 's
perfectly OK to say, "We
need to keep a close watch
on the kids. That patio fire
scared me to death." As for
your dauglwer, a 3-year-old
ts too young to play with
those children without your
personal supervision, so
she shouldn't be there ·on
her own anyway. If you are
present to watch her, what ·
do you care if the boys
break their parents' tables
and set fire to their porch?
They sound like a handful
aild their parents have
given up. But as long as
they aren't doing it in your
house, try not to make it
your
problem.
When
you've had all you can
stand, pick up your daughter and go home.
Dear Annie: Here are
some su~gestions for "Bill's
Busy Wife," who wants to
know what to do with her
retiree husband:
Substitute teachers are
always at a premium.
Teach an adult literacy
class. Call the local department for families and children and see if an elderly
person needs transportation to the doctor's office,
Read to children at elementary schools.
Help serve meals at a
local rescue mission. Walk
dogs at lhe animal shelter.
Call the activity director at a
nursing home and ask what
volunteers can do. Learn to
crochet and make caps for
cancer patients.
Once people find out that
Bill is willing to volunteer,
they'll find jobs for him that
are within his physical limitations.
Amy in
Cyberspace
Dear Amy: These are
terrific su~gestions, and
we hope Bill - and anyone else who is looking to
keep busy - will check
them out.

What do Belgian
Muslims calling for a ban on
Easter eggs have to do with
American parents hiring
"parenting coaches" to put
~unior to bed? And what do
Imperiled Easter eggs and
the advent of parent coaching have to do with U.S. for-I
eigri policy? Furthermore,
what does all of this have io
do with the triumphant
shriek of ·Western woman•
. hood on wriggling into jeans
fit for a 7-year-old?
A: Plenty. In fact, I could
write a book about such
recent events - only that I
already have. It's called
'The Death of the GrownUp," and the phenomenon it
describes - Western society's relatively new tendency to replace maturity as the
" goal of human development
with a state of perpetual adolescence - makes the con·
nections obvious. Well,
obvious if you've been spent
the last two, three, five, I0
years thinking through the
theory.
Let's see how the theory
works, starting with Easter
eggs. After the city of
Antwerp banned hijabs on
women stationed at the front
desk in a municipal building,
protests ensued. A Muslim
trade union representative
said, in effect, well, if that's
the way you want it, "we
demand that no Christmas
trees be set up in city buildings and no Easter eggs be
given out." •
let alone the death of the
grown-up?
First, let's consider the
ijnd of coaching that affluent Anierica thinks it
requires, as recently reponed
by the Boston Globe. • . '
The problem? Lily, 3,
wouldn't go lo bed . .The
solution? The parenting
coach put Lily to bed. That'll
be $300, please.
In different realms, on different continents, both reactions, in Antwerp and in ·
Boston, reveal . the same
itlarming .hollowness in the
people who are supposed to
be in charge. They both
eng;tge in a stunted mode of
behavior that is aptly
described as infantile. In the
case of lhe European
metropolis, it no longer has
the self-knowledge, confi·
dence or courage to flaunt
the·s:ymbols that make up its
identity; in·the case of these
. American parents, they no
longer have the self-knowledge, confidence or courage
-. or basic human instinct
- to trust themselves to
raise their yolJ1lg. Any way
you cut it, it's hard to label
such behaviors CIS mature,
responsible or self-assertive,
and they're certainly not
conducive to the propagation
of the culture represented
here on both a state and personal level; How did we get
here? In a nutshell, a halfcentury or so of youth-oriented, adolescent-minded
popular culture has taken its

Now, that's crust - or,
croissan~ since we're talking
Belgium. Clear!~, Antwerp's
Muslim populauon (or some
sizable . portion thereoO
rej~ts the right of the native
Chrisuan culture to express
itself in terms of its traditional symbols. But what does it
mean if post-Christian
Antwerp accedes · to this
Muslim "demand"? Given
the precedent set in 2003 in
France, where Jacques
Chirac banned the hijab - a
symbol of Muslim life that
upholds sharia as the law cf
the land (any land) ~ along
with all Christian, Jewish
and ·sikh symbols in state
schools, don't bet on
Antwerp drawing a religious
line. And if it does trade in
its holiday e~gs and evergreens for a hijab ban, it will
mean that another outpost of
the West will have agreed to
strip itself of the defining
symbols of its own identity.

Democr~ts strip Florida of convention
delegate~ for holding election too early
Bv NEDRA PICKLER
WASHINGTON
Florida Democrats would
forfeit their votes in selecting a presidential nominee
unless the·' delay their state
election by at least a week,
the national party said in a
stern action Saturday meant
to discourage others from
leapfrogging ahead to earn:
er dates.
The Florida party has 30
pays to submit an alternative to its planned Jan. 29
primary or lose its 210 delegates to the nominating
convention in Denver next
summer;
The state party chairwoman, Karen Thurman,
said she would confer with
state officials about the ultimatum. "It's going to be a
difficult discussion," she
said, because Floridians are
wary of having their votes
taken away.
· Elected officials
in
Florida have said they
would consider legal action
and a protest at the convention if the national party
barred the state's delegates.
There is general agreement that the eventual nominee will seat Florida's delegates rather than allow a
fight at a convention
int_ended to show party
umty. But the decision by
the Democratic National
Committee's rules panel
could reduce Florida's
. influence because candidates may want to campaign in states where the
votes are counted.
Florida party officials
said
they
originally
opposed...the early primary
date, which covers both the
Democratic and Republican
primaries. The Republicancontrolled
Legislature
passed the change and the
GOP governor signed it
into law in an effort to give
the state a more. prominent
· voice in national politics.
But Florida Democratic
leaders now are committed
to the state-run election
because voter participation
would drop drastically if
Democrats held an alternative contest.
· Members of the DNC
rules committee expressed
skepticism that Florida
Democrats did enough to
stop the change and they
approved the harshest
penalty, Florida's representative on the panel, Allan
Katz,
· was
th the 1only vote
agamst e pena ty.
Refusing to seat the delegates would set a "terrible ~
situation for Florida and a
very bad situation for the
Democratic Party," Katz
said.
Party rules say states cannot hold their 2008 primary
contests before Feb. 5,
except for Iowa on Jan. 14,
Nevada on Jan. 19, New
Hampshire on Jan. 22 and
South Carolina pn Jan. 29.
The
calendar
was
designed to preserve the
traditional role that Iowa
and New Hampshire have
played in selecting the
nominee, while adding two
states with more racial and
~eographic diversity to
mfluential early slots.

Almost all Cleveland junkyards
fail city safety inspections ·
CLEVELAND (AP) Nearly all of Cleveland's I0 1
scrap, junk and auto-wrecking yards failed city safety
inspections this year, according to the city's Building and
Housing Departn1ent. 1
Mayor Frank Jackson
ordered the inspections after
a barrage of residents complained that the yards were
dirty, noisy and spilling
junk out into residential
neighborhoods.
City inspectors have since
cited 97 junkyards for safety and cleanliness violations, like cars that are piled
too 'high or a Jack of fencing, said Ed Rybka, the head
of the department, which
oversees code enforcement. '
"I don't think any of them
were in full compliance," he
said.
Department inspectors are
working to improve the
appearance and reputation
of junkyards in neighbor·
hoods by urging them to
install opaque fences, which
.would hide junk and help
prevent mud and dirt from
being tracked into residential areas, Rybka said.
In one case, the city cited
Moore Towing for OJli!rating
without the city's permission and failing to maintain
the outside of its property.

Another scrap yard was

· Many junkyard owners
head to Cleveland Housing
Court to appeal their violations to the city's Board of
Building
Standards.
Housing Court Judge Ray
Pianka said he's dealing
with several dozen scrap
dealer cases - junkyards
that are fighting . citations,
paying fines or being forced
to comply with city codes.
It's dif!icult to evict a junkyard from its property if it
fails inspection, Pianka said.
Once the city orders a scrap
yard to leave, all the junk
becomes the city's problem,
and the city must pay someone to remove it, he said.
A few junkyards have
fixed problems and· been
approved by the city to
operate, he said.
Rybka said inspectors are

What do Belgian
Muslims calling for a ban on
Easter eggs have to do with
American parents hiring
"parenting coaches" to put
~unior to bed? And what do
Imperiled Easter eggs and
the advent of parent coaching have to do with U.S. for-I
eigri policy? Furthermore,
what does all of this have io
do with the triumphant
shriek of ·Western woman•
. hood on wriggling into jeans
fit for a 7-year-old?
A: Plenty. In fact, I could
write a book about such
recent events - only that I
already have. It's called
'The Death of the GrownUp," and the phenomenon it
describes - Western society's relatively new tendency to replace maturity as the
" goal of human development
with a state of perpetual adolescence - makes the con·
nections obvious. Well,
obvious if you've been spent
the last two, three, five, I0
years thinking through the
theory.
Let's see how the theory
works, starting with Easter
eggs. After the city of
Antwerp banned hijabs on
women stationed at the front
desk in a municipal building,
protests ensued. A Muslim
trade union representative
said, in effect, well, if that's
the way you want it, "we
demand that no Christmas
trees be set up in city buildings and no Easter eggs be
given out." •
let alone the death of the
grown-up?
First, let's consider the
ijnd of coaching that affluent Anierica thinks it
requires, as recently reponed
by the Boston Globe. • . '
The problem? Lily, 3,
wouldn't go lo bed . .The
solution? The parenting
coach put Lily to bed. That'll
be $300, please.
In different realms, on different continents, both reactions, in Antwerp and in ·
Boston, reveal . the same
itlarming .hollowness in the
people who are supposed to
be in charge. They both
eng;tge in a stunted mode of
behavior that is aptly
described as infantile. In the
case of lhe European
metropolis, it no longer has
the self-knowledge, confi·
dence or courage to flaunt
the·s:ymbols that make up its
identity; in·the case of these
. American parents, they no
longer have the self-knowledge, confidence or courage
-. or basic human instinct
- to trust themselves to
raise their yolJ1lg. Any way
you cut it, it's hard to label
such behaviors CIS mature,
responsible or self-assertive,
and they're certainly not
conducive to the propagation
of the culture represented
here on both a state and personal level; How did we get
here? In a nutshell, a halfcentury or so of youth-oriented, adolescent-minded
popular culture has taken its

Now, that's crust - or,
croissan~ since we're talking
Belgium. Clear!~, Antwerp's
Muslim populauon (or some
sizable . portion thereoO
rej~ts the right of the native
Chrisuan culture to express
itself in terms of its traditional symbols. But what does it
mean if post-Christian
Antwerp accedes · to this
Muslim "demand"? Given
the precedent set in 2003 in
France, where Jacques
Chirac banned the hijab - a
symbol of Muslim life that
upholds sharia as the law cf
the land (any land) ~ along
with all Christian, Jewish
and ·sikh symbols in state
schools, don't bet on
Antwerp drawing a religious
line. And if it does trade in
its holiday e~gs and evergreens for a hijab ban, it will
mean that another outpost of
the West will have agreed to
strip itself of the defining
symbols of its own identity.
But how do sorry tales of
European self-abnegation
jibe with the absurd spectacle of American Mas and Pas

Democr~ts strip Florida of convention
delegate~ for holding election too early
Bv NEDRA PICKLER
WASHINGTON
Florida Democrats would
forfeit their votes in selecting a presidential nominee
unless the·' delay their state
election by at least a week,
the national party said in a
stern action Saturday meant
to discourage others from
leapfrogging ahead to earn:
er dates.
The Florida party has 30
pays to submit an alternative to its planned Jan. 29
primary or lose its 210 delegates to the nominating
convention in Denver next
summer;
The state party chairwoman, Karen Thurman,
said she would confer with
state officials about the ultimatum. "It's going to be a
difficult discussion," she
said, because Floridians are
wary of having their votes
taken away.
· Elected officials
in
Florida have said they
would consider legal action
and a protest at the convention if the national party
barred the state's delegates.
There is general agreement that the eventual nominee will seat Florida's delegates rather than allow a
fight at a convention
int_ended to show party
umty. But the decision by
the Democratic National
Committee's rules panel
could reduce Florida's
. influence because candidates may want to campaign in states where the
votes are counted.
Florida party officials
said
they
originally
opposed...the early primary
date, which covers both the
Democratic and Republican
primaries. The Republicancontrolled
Legislature
passed the change and the
GOP governor signed it
into law in an effort to give
the state a more. prominent
· voice in national politics.
But Florida Democratic
leaders now are committed
to the state-run election
because voter participation
would drop drastically if
Democrats held an alternative contest.
· Members of the DNC
rules committee expressed
skepticism that Florida
Democrats did enough to
stop the change and they
approved the harshest
penalty, Florida's representative on the panel, Allan
Katz,
· was

agamst e pena ty.
Refusing to seat the delegates would set a "terrible ~
situation for Florida and a
very bad situation for the
Democratic Party," Katz
said.
Party rules say states cannot hold their 2008 primary
contests before Feb. 5,
except for Iowa on Jan. 14,
Nevada on Jan. 19, New
Hampshire on Jan. 22 and
South Carolina pn Jan. 29.
The
calendar
was
designed to preserve the
traditional role that Iowa
and New Hampshire have
played in selecting the
nominee, while adding two
states with more racial and
~eographic diversity to
mfluential early slots.

Almost all Cleveland junkyards
fail city safety inspections ·
CLEVELAND (AP) Nearly all of Cleveland's I0 1
scrap, junk and auto-wrecking yards failed city safety
inspections this year, according to the city's Building and
Housing Departn1ent. 1
Mayor Frank Jackson
ordered the inspections after
a barrage of residents complained that the yards were
dirty, noisy and spilling
junk out into residential
neighborhoods.
City inspectors have since
cited 97 junkyards for safety and cleanliness violations, like cars that are piled
too 'high or a Jack of fencing, said Ed Rybka, the head
of the department, which
oversees code enforcement. '
"I don't think any of them
were in full compliance," he
said.
Department inspectors are
working to improve the
appearance and reputation
of junkyards in neighbor·
hoods by urging them to
install opaque fences, which
.would hide junk and help
prevent mud and dirt from
being tracked into residential areas, Rybka said.
In one case, the city cited

the outside of its property.

Housing Court Judge Ray

It's dif!icult to evict a junkyard from its property if it

yard to leave, all the junk
becomes the city's problem,
and the city must pay someone to remove it, he said.

PIKETON (AP)- A federal judge has ruled that
neighbors of a former uranium-processing plant suing
because of health problems

Though the suit can claim
hazardous materials were
left in the neighborhood,
U.S District Judge Walter
Herbert Rice said there was
not enough evidence for
residents to claim that any

cleanup costs.
''This case has taken a

in recouniing his prayer.
There was no doubt about
his opposite-field shot off
Kiuchi,
which
easily
cleared the right-field fence
225 feet away from the
plate.
Japan manager Youichi
Kubo, who managed Japan
to the 200 I Little League
crown, tried to console his
pitcher afterward.
"I told Junsho that when
you are a reliever these
things can happen," Kubo
said through a translator. "I
told him that he has a bright
future and .not to let this
homer affect that."
After exchanging handshakes witl) players from
Japan, Georgia players took
hold of the· championship
baruier, their proud parents
snapping pictures from the
stands.
Warner Robins kept the
trophy in the state.
· The previous two Georgia
teams to advance to South
Williamsport also won the
title, including Columbus
last year and East Marietta
in 1983.
Also, the United States'
three-year title streak is the
longest since 1959-1966, an
eight-yea r
stretch
of
American victories.
" I' II remember every second of thi s," Carriker said.
"Thi s has been crazy."

BRISTOL, Tenll. - When

worth it."
The catcher who knows
him best helped him capture
the
moment.
Ryan
Jorgensen's first career
grand slam gave Shearn an
early lead that amounted to
breathing room, and sent the
.Reds on their way to their
sixth straight victory.
Cincinnati is o.n its best
surge of the season. Since
interim manager Pete
Mackanin took over on July
3, the Reds have the NL's
best record at 29-19.
''The Little Red Wagon is
doing all right," Ken
Griffey Jr. said, playing off
the Bi~ Red Machine teams
ofthe 70s.
Florida
isn't.
The
foondering Marlins hadn't
been swept three games in
Cincinnati since 2001.
They've lost II of 12,
falling a season-high 17
games under .500 at 57-74.
"I think a week has gone
by and we haven't done but
one or two things that's
quality," reliever Lee
Gardner said. "We're not
playing the game. It's one
mning here or there. We've
got the ability to do it. We
talk a great game."
Shearn (1-0) now has
some big-league stories to
tell about how he kept the
Reds on the upsY~ing .
The right-hander was living in the groundskeeper's
camper
at
Triple-A
Lou1sville - a moneysaving move - when the Reds
decided , to call him up on
Saturday. He drove to town
on Saturday night, then got
a few restless hours of sleep
on
reliever _
Gary
Majewski's couch before
his big day.
He didn't mind.

SCOREBOARD
Quinn leads
Browns
past Broncos
.
.
DENVER
(AP)
Preseason ~ames don't
count and ne1ther do touchdowns that are eiTOneously
ruled incompletions, as
Brady Quinn discovered
Saturday night.
Quinn was efficient and
effective for the second
straight game, leading the
Cleveland Browns past the
Denver Broncos 17-16,
althou2b it probably wasn't
enougli to wm him the startins_ job over Charlie Frye.
Quinn threw a pass in the
left flat that Joshua Cribbs
turned into a nifty 20-yard
touchdown to break a I0-10
tie in the third quarter, but
the rookie from Norre Dame
was robbed of another
apparent TD toss on
Cleveland's previous possession.
Although Joe Jurevicius
hauled in Quinn's perfectly
thrown 39-yard pass in the
end zone, the nearest official
ruled he didn't get both feet
down before going out of
bounds - replays showed
otherWise, but Cleveland
coach Romeo Crennel didn't
challenge the call.
That was against Denver's
front-line defense, too although that may not be as
impressive as 1t sounds.
Slow to adapt to new boss
Jim Bates' scheme, the
Broncos' starters have
allowed six touchdowns and
three field goals in 15 possessions this preseason.
Quinn, whose TD to
Cribbs came against backups, completed 7 of II passes for 81 yards.
The Broncos made it 1716 on undrafted rookie
Selvin Young's 9-yard rumble with 2:56 left, but linebacker Chaun Thompson
tackled Young shy o~ the end
zone on the 2-pomt try.
Crennel has said he might
not name a starting quarterback until the week before
the Sept. 9 opener. Although
conventional wisdom is
he'll start off the season carrying a clipboard, Quinn has
done his best to earn the
nod. After missing II days
in a contract holdout, Quinn
is (13-of-20 for 155 yards
with three TDs (that counted) and no interceptions.
Quinn is no lon11er sporting his long•. flowmg locks
as be joined the other
Browns rookies in having
his bead shaved at the end of
camp -: still. be looked
good agam. .

now," he said.
It worked out. Shearn limited the Marlins to four hits
and a pair of walks in seven
innings, including Dan
Uggla's three-run homer.
Jorgensen, his catcher at
Louisville before an Aug.
14 promotion, hit his grand
slam in the frrst inning off
rookie right-bander Daniel
Barone (0-2) to help Shearn
settle in. Brandon Phillips
and Edwin Encarnacion
also homered off Barone.
The Reds' offense has
been the foundation of the
winning srreak, scoring 46
runs during the ·six-game
span.
In a match up of two pitchers called up this month, age
won out.
The 24-year-old Barone
