Our oldest · son is their youngest son's best friend. The problem is their oldest son. "Joey." Tonight we came home to find that Joey had broken into our garage and stolen the liquor we had stored there. When Mr. and Mrs. Smith confronted him, he took off. This is not the first time Joey has vandalized our home or stolen from us. and we are fed up. It would be sad to sacrifice our relationship with his parents, but we don' t know what else to do. Should we press charges ~ Or would that open a whole new can <;>f worms with Joey'? Do you think he might take his anger out on our kids'? I don 't lnow what's· best. P.art of me wants to throw the book at him: part of me is afraid of the repercussions. What would you do~- HAD ENOUGH IN MINNESOTA DEAR HAD ENOUGH: r d make my decision based on the number of times Joey had acted out. Since this is not the first time he has vandalized your home or stolen from you, I'd put the Smiths on notice that if anything further happens. the police will be involved. Thelf son is in serious need of counseling and possibly drug reha. bilitat io n. Also. he needs to learn that there are serious consequences for hi s actions.

The Iraq situation is so polarizing that it has fogged the terror playing field. In their disgus1 over how Iraq is being handled, many Americans simply have lost sight of the enemy, but believe me ... he has not lost sight of us: As we discussed last week in this space. Osama bin Laden and his fanatical tollowers kill at random and will use any method, including nuclear. that becomes available to them. That is the danger we Americans face. Unlike the nuclear threats of the past, there is no doomsday deterrent. Many of these terrorists actually want to die. ' There has been far more outcry in the United States over the prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib than the video beheading of Nicholas Berg or the civilian executions in Saudi Arabia last week, both reportedly the work of AI ·.

June 6, the I 58th day of 2004. There are 208 days left tn the year. · . Today's Highlight in History: On June 6, 1944, the D,Day invasion of Europe took place during World War II as Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy, France. On this date: In 1844. tre Yoong Men's Ouistian Asoccittion was fouOO:d in I...orrl:Jn. In I918, the World War I Battle of Belleau Wood, which resulted in a U.S. victory over the Germans, began in France. In 1925, Walter · Percy Chrysler founded the Chrysler Corporation. In 1933, the first drive-in movie theater opened, in Camden, N.J. In 1934, the Securities and Exchange Commission was established. In 1942, Japarese fort:es retrellled in tre Wcrld War IT Banle ofMidway. In 1966. black activist James Meredith was shot and wounded as he walked along a Mississippi highway to encourage black voter registratton. · In 1968, Senator Robert E Ke!Uiedy died at Goo.! Saillaritan Hospital in Los Angeles, a day after he was sh<it by Sirtlan Bisbarn Sirtlan. In .1978, California voters overwhelmingly approved Proposition 13, a primary ballot initiative calling for major cuts in property taxes. · In 1984, government forces in India stormed the Golden Temple in Amritsar in an effort to crush Sikh extremists. At least I ,000 Sikhs and 200 soldiers were killed. . Ten years ago: President Clinton joined leaders from - America's World War II allies to mark the 50th anniversary of the D-Day invasion of Normandy. A Chinese pass~nger jet crashed, killing all 160 people on board. · Five years ago: The space shuttle Discovery returned from a I0-day mission that included a visit to the international space station. At the Tony Awards, Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman" was named best revival; "Side Man" won best play; "Fosse" was awarded best musical. In tennis, Andre Agas~i won the French Open, defeating Andrei Medvedev I -6, 2-6, 6-4, 6, 3, 6-4, while m golf, Juli Inkster shot a final-round I -under 71 " for a I 6-under 272 total to win the U.S. Women's Open poorly trained military reservists are allowed to run wild and abuse prisoners . Clearly. something is wrong when enormous mistakes are made in the occupation of a · Bill country whose defeat was a O'Reilly foregone conclusion. I mean. everybody knew ihe USA would defeat Saddam.

Hitler and Tojo did not have nuclear weapons. Pakistan does. AI Qaeda owns parts of Pakistan. Do the math. There's a bestselling novel out right now called ·Memorial Day' written by Vince Flynn: He knows that the U.S. war on terror is unbelievably screwed up. and tells you how and why in a gripping way. AI Gore and ewry member of the ACLU should read this book and so should you. · President Bush should also read the book and wise up. The President is right in waging an aggressive war against worldwide terror. but he must get better people to do it. Enough witlj the chaos and foolish mistakes like Abu Ghraib.

The 6-foot-2 construction worker who wants to be· a star on million-dollar prowrestling mats takes his lumps these days from amateurs in a ducHaped ring. "I just love it," said . Halliwell_, 2 I, who performs as a · villainous, crowd-taunting, rap star for Freak Show Wrestling. "You ever have 300 people chant your name?" Never mind the profanity chanted with his name. If Halliwell is to ever make the long jump from the minor leagues of Ohio's independent wrestling circuit to the big-time professional mats of World Wrestling Entertainment Inc., it will because fans remember him, he said. Halliwell and hi s friendscarpenters, plumbers, roofers and tattoo artists by day- are wrestlers at night, practicing the moves and bluster that helped make The Rock rich and Jesse "The Body" Ventura governor of Mirlnesota. They t~ain in the back yard of Joe Barnes, 36, who created his own independent wrestling group after professionals told him he was too small. At his home in Creston, located 35 miles southwest of Cleveland, 5-foot-6-inch Barnes built a ring where he teaches wrestlers how to make the fake fights look real. They soiTleP.lault from turnbuckle; and fling tiles over tre ropes. They bonk one another with trash cans and fluores cent light bulbs. At least once a month, Barnes and his wrestlers ·stage public performances under the Freak Show name. It's pan soap opera, part stunt show. Barnes perfonns a~ "Raptor,'' a good guy in greasepaint. Although they fight for fictitious titles and belts, the wrestlers' true goal is to win applause or catcalls from spectators. . . '"Any react1on ts a good reaction ," said Mike Butterbaugh , 27, who pe.rforms as . a wrestler named "Morbid." a former patient at ·a mental hospital. Butterbaugh idolized pro wrestlers as a child . Halliwell , Unlike Butterbaugh, who retreads truck tires for a living , does not crave pro wrestling's riches, but relishes the attention of the audience. "Kids ask for my autograph," he said . "It's cool." Barnes, who writes the story lines for Freak Show wrestlers, said the choreographed matches are similar to WWE shows broadcast on pay-per-view. "We do what they do:· he said.

When setting goals for your timber stand. conside'r Timber Stand Improvement (TSI). This technique allows you to set realistic goals without having to harvest the entire stand all at once. There is one main question you should ask yourself "why ''" ls this decision for forest protection, wildlife. recreation. or production ? Types of Timber Stand Improvements are as follows: • Recently Harvested Sites: Start these. areas as soon as they are harvested. This can increase the quality of the future or remaining forest. • Crop Tree Release: Eliminate all competing vines and tree > around the tree that will accommodate your goals . By doing so. your crop tree's crown will . receive maximum sunlight without any competition. • Thin Sapling-Sized Stands: Many stands are usually well-stocked or overstocked.

WASHINGTON (AP) House , Republicans have agreed · on a proposal that would provide tobacco growers with a buyout of nearly $10 billion in exchange for farmers giving up a Depression-era federa[ program that propped up prices through quotas. Rep. Ron Lewis, R-Ky., said the payout to farmers would take place over five years, with the $9.6 billion cost covered by a portion of the 39-cent federal tax on ea~:h pack of cigarettes. Lewis said Fnday the White House was "very much involved yesterday in the tinal product." The measure is pan of a wide-ranging bill to restrU<:· lure corporate tax breaks in response to tariffs the European Union has imposed on U.S . exports as a re.sult of the World Trade Organization's ruling that cur. rent U.S. corporate wx law illegally subsidizes the sales of American goods abroad. The legislative package was put together by Rep. Bill Thomas. R-Calif.. chairman <Jf the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee after the Senate passed a restructuring and expansion of corporate tax breaks last month. The Senate bill , however. doe s not include the tobacco measure. Thomas ' office said he planned to introdllce the bill later Friday. Lewis said the committee would put the final touches on the bill next week and thai Republican leaders planned to bring to the House for a vote the following week. Under a buyout, growers would be paid to give up gov· ernment-granted tobacco allotments that establish how much leaf they are ailowed to sell each year. Their livelihood has suffered in recent years due to a decrease · in smoking and an increase in imporrs-of cheaper tobacco. Responding to a political outcry thi s election year. the Bush administration has sig· naleU a willingne~s to go along with the buyout. provided it doesn't increase the deficit. Money collected through the cigarette tax goes to the Treasllry for general purpose s. so that White House condition ha s not heen met. The admii1istration 's willingness to consider a bllyout mllrks a switch from just a mollth ago. when Prc.sidenl Bush said on the campaign trail in Ohio that he didn't think .the system under which farmers grow and sel l tobacco nee.ded to be l'hanged.

The latest payroll figures illustrated continued strength in job creation - a key piece of the economic recovery that had been lagging coming into 2004. With more than I million. new jobs in the last three ·months alone, investors were assured of the economy's ability to continue growing . "TI\e upside momentum in the market · has definitely returned," said Keith Keenan. vice president of institutiondl trading at Wall Street Access. " I think the market i' very comfortable with the jobs fig ure and the state of the economy, and has already discounted a rate increase by the Fed later this month." With the econorny Oil track , most analysts agree the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates by a quarter perce ntage point at its next meeting on June 29. A higher job figure would have ra ised the specter of a half-poim increase, Keenan said. In midafternoon trading, the Dow Jones industrial average gained 83.95 , or 0.8 percent, to I0,279.86. Broader stock indil:alors were sharply higher. The Standard & Poor's 500 index was up I 0. 18, or 0.9 percent, at I, 126.82. and the Nasdaq composite index rose 29.!14. or J .5 percent, to I ,990.10. If the major indexes were to close at those levels, it would be the second .-traight up week for the Dow and S&P. 500 and the third week of gains for the Nasdaq- a strong sign that the down ward trend of the last ' three months may be at least on hold, if not reversed. According to the Labor Department, the economy added 248,000 jobs in May. aml the unemployment rate held steady at 5.6 percent. Payroll figures from March and April - already impressive- were revised upward as well. ''This is a very Goldilocks number- not too hot or too cold. It was just what we needed." said Chris Wolfe, global head of equities for J.P. Mor~an Private Bank. " It lets us contend with the other issues in June with a fairly strong emnomy behind us." Thos~ other issues include a likely interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve at the end of the month and the transi tion of power in Iraq on June 30, Wolfe said. In the short term. falling oil · prices also contributed· to · Wall Street's good mood. The benchmark light sweet crude oil was down 68 l:ents at $38 60 per harrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. In vestors were also buoyed by Dow componem Intel Corp. ·s mid-quarter outlook, isstted after Thursday's ses. sion. The technology bellwether said it expects sales for the quarter to come in between $8 billion and $8.2 billion. raising the low end of its previous estimates thank s to strong sales of nash memory chips. Intel was up 99 cents at $28.40. · Computer A"ociates International Inc. gained 93 cems to $27.23 after the company announced that former chairman and chief executive Sanjay Kumar. who l1ad stayed on as chief software architect. will leave the company altogether.

They sold I0,755 tickets when the gates opened on Fnday. The crowd of 32,70 I watched the NL Central leaders get beat by a hometown prep star and a boyhood VISitor. Cmcinnatl native Zach Day (4-6) allowed only four hits in six innings, mcludmg Ada[Il Dunn 's two-run homer. Day, the city's top high school player in 1995, had a cheenng section behmd the visitors' dugout and a larger one in the outfield stands. He estl· mated that more than I00 relatives and fnends bought tickets to. his first major league appearance m ht s hometown. "You always dream of playing for the Reds or, if you can't, playmg agamsl them," said Day, 25. "It's a dream that not a lot of people get to fulfill It was a long time com mg." Wilkerson grew up in Kentucky and attended Reds games as a youth. He had several dozen fans cheenng his · first multlhomer game thts season. "It's always fun to come back to Cmcmnatl," W1Ikerson said. The rest of the crowd didn' t have much to cheer except for Dunn' s broken-bat homer. "I was hoping we would have a happy ending for them," manager Dave Miley said. Not quite. Cincinnati got runners on first and third wah twq outs in the mntiJ agamst Rocky Biddle, but pmch-hllter Barry Larkin took a called th1rd stnke to end 1t. Larkin started toward first, thmking the pitch was outside, before umptre Dale Scott called h1m out. Ken Griffey Jr. was 1-for-2 with a single and two walks, lcavmg h1m at 495 career homers. Griffey has closed m on the 500-homer mark by hitting six 111 his last 12 games. Sean Casey was 0-for-4, dropping the NL's top average eight pomts to .383.

She knows how tt feel s to get so frustrated that the urge nses to toss a racke1 or scream or even just give up. And now, m part because Elena Dementieva struggled w1th such thoughts in the French Open final , Myskina knows how it feels to be a Grand Slam champmn. Myskina beat her countrywoman and friend 6-1, 6-2 Saturday at Roland Garros with solid play, steady resolve -- and plenty of help from Dementieva's 33 unforced errors, including 10 double-faults. ' "I was really emotional. I was really nerv,ous, as well," Myskina said. "And I thmk, urn, Elena was nervous more." In keeping with the surprising nature of the past two weeks, the _s ixth-seeded Myskma became the first Russtan woman to win a majdr title. And she did so at a tournament where she had never been past the second round, going 1-4. It helped that the Williams sisters have been hampered by injunes and lack of matches And that defendmg ChampiOn Justme Henm-Hardenne lost in the second round after mtssing six weeks with a viral infection And that 200 I and 2003 French Open runner-up Ktm Clijsters Withdrew because of a bad wrist.

Aaron Harang on disabled list with inflamed elbow BY JOE KAY Associated Press CINCI NNATI R1ght-hander Aaron Harang went on the 15-d_ay ~is ­ abled list Friday wnh a sore p1tchmg elbow, !eaving the Cmcinnau Reds scrambhng to revamp thetr rotatiOn . . The Reds also activated Brandon Larson off Ihe 15-day disabled list on Fnday. The third baseman has been disabled by turf toe and a torn th1gh muscle this season. Manager Dave Mtley sa1d the club wtll call up a pitcher from Triple-A Loutsville to take Harang 's spot on Tuesday. ' None of Louisville's starters has a winning record Left-hander Brandon Claussen obtained from the Yankees in a trad~ last July for third baseman Aaron Boone, 1s 3-3 with a 5.75 ERA. The Reds' rotation was one of the maJors' worst last year, a btg factor in tl1e1 r 93-loss season. It has been much more dependable this season, allowing the Reds to take over first place m the NL Central with the league's best record. Harang was 4-2 with a 5.43 earned run average in I I starts. He gave up fi ve runs and 10 hits in five innings of a 7-6 victory over Flonda on Tuesday, the first time he felt somethmg wrong m the elbow. "When I came out after that last start, it was aching and sore," Harang said Friday. . , A medical test found mflammauon in the inside of the elbow, and the problem was diagnosed as a sprained ligament. Harang wtll rest the elbow over the weekend, then play catch on Monday to see how it feels. "They thought it was better to take care of it nght away," Haran~ sa1d. "It's nothing I've ever expen.en~ed before. I knew something didn t feel right. In my previous start, it was tight but loosened up as the game went aga1n s t Montreal. Outfielder Austm Kearns was scratched from the lineup K for a SIXth NOTE B 0 0 stra;ght game because of a sore on the ms1de of his right thumb. "It's definitely a lot better than what it was," Kearns said. "They think it still looks like tf I went out and took some swings, it would probably flare up to wh at 1t was... Shortstop Barry Larkm was sidehoed by sore abdominal muscles, but was available to pinch-hit Third baseman Ryan Freel was a late scratch from the lineup because of a sore knee. Larson got to start at third bec~use of all of the injuries The former hrst· round draft pick has played in only II games thi s season .. "The main thmg IS to just stay h'ealthy ani;l stay away from the DL," Larson said. Infielder Juan Castro, who has filled in at third base in Larson's absence, is on the di sabled list with strained muscles in his ribcage, so Lars'on has a chance to stay in the lineup tf he gets over his propensity to commit errors. In-between his injuries, Larson hit .278 and made five errors in his I I games, tied for the team lead. "These *uys are playing really well nght now,' Larson said. " I just want to fit in as best I can." MILEY HATES CONTRACT TALK: Manager Dave Miley said Friday he doesn't want his contract to become an 1ssue. · Miley has a one-year deal that includes a team option for 2005.

Still, Newman is confident he can end an 18-race ·drought with a victory Sunday in the MBNA America 400. He beat the high-banked concrete oval twice last year.

"Cars are able to pass instead of beating on each other," Newman said.

Jackson recalled this week that his minister father used to move every five yeais because he believed his message got old. "Eventually. your voice is going to wear out on them," Jackson said. "When you see them ,develop a deaf ear and things change up, it :might be time to move on." Jackson will complete the five-year, $30 mil·lion contract he signed with the Los Angeles -Lakers in the N BA Finals against the Detroit Pistons, where he'll anempt to win his lOth 'championship in 14 years as a head coach. · And then he might move on. · · The Lakers broke off negotiations for a contract extension in February until after the sea·son.'WI,;le there are indications Jackson wants to continue coaching, he has been noncommit:tal as to his future and the Lakers also haven't 'commented. , "In my mind. it's definitely not his last year of :coaching," Lakers assistant Kurt Ramb1s said Thllfliday. "He might take a year off and come ·back like he did before." When asked if he thought Jackson will return to the Lakers, Rarnbis replied: "I don't have a .feeling for that, one way or another. I just get the :feeling he still wants to coach:'' · . Jackson, 58, won three titles in his first four :years in Los Angeles after gening six in nine · :years with the Bulls. He left Chicago after com:pleting a second three-peat when the team was .broken up in 1·998 and took a year off before joining the Lakers. That leaves Jackson with nine titles in 13 years - an incredible feat One more would :break a tie with former Boston Celtics coach :Red Auerbach and make Jackson the first coach :or manager of a professional team to win 10 -championships. . "He'll probably be either the greatest coach or one of the greatest coaches, according to me," -Lakers star Shaquille O'Neal said regarding :Jackson's status should the Lakers win the title. :"I don't know what Red Auerbach would say :about that. I'd put him right up there." · Jackson's postseason record of 174-65 is the 'best in NBA history, and h.is 832-316 regular.season mark is by far the best ever percentage•wise. ; While Jackson has won nine titles, first-year :Pistons coach Larry Brown hasn't won any in -his 26-year career as a professional coach :Cour in the old ABA and 22 in the NBA. : But the 63-year-old Brown is a member of the ;Basketball Hall of Fame and Jackson isn't. · "There's not many guys who haven't won a :championship who have gone in," Jackson said. ;"His ·service, his coaching ability_ and his influ-ence on the game have earned htm the respect :Of a lot of people in basketball." : Brown is the ftrst coach to lead seven fran-chises to the NBA playoffs.and four teams to the :Conference or division finals. : His 933 regular-season victories in the NBA ;rank seventh; his 81 playoff wins tie K.C.

(AP) .for fourth; he was coach of the year when he led the 76ers to the 200 I finals; he led Kansas to the 1988 NCAA title; and he'll coach the U.S. Olympic team in Athens. . Brown has certainly followed the path of Jackson's father during his 33-year career as a head coach, including seven in college. never staying anywhere more than six years. Brown has usually taken over a mediocre team and turned it into a winner. In Detroit, he was given a five-year, $25 million deal to transform a contender into a champion. The Pistons hope to accomplish that. "It would be a blessing," P1stons star Richard Hamilton said. "Coach has been in this league for so long and like he tells us all the time, 'You don't always get these opportunities, so when you're here, you 've got to take advantage of it.' "So, it would be a great thing to get something for him." For Brown to get his ftrst NBA title, he will have to prevent Jackson from winning his I Oth. "I'm not envious- I try to be the best I can be," Brown said. "I don't worry about anything else. I don't want to be like anything else, but anybody that doesn't recognize the excellence and success he's had is silly." Jackson has been called lucky to have coached the likes of Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen in Chicago and O'Neal and Kobe Bryant with the Lakers. · Brown doesn't subscribe to that theory. "When you win as many championships as he has, you've got to be doing it the right way," he said. "Not everybody wins with great players, we've got to understand that. He gets guys to play the way he wants them to play. I think · that's a tribute to him." Horace Grant, who played for Jackson with the Bulls and Lakers, called the coach a teacher. Many have said the same of Brown. "I've said this repeatedly- there's no other coach that could have handled this team other than Phil Jackson," Grant said. "When you can handle different personalities, that's the sign of a good coach."

Though every team hopes and plans to play its best basketball in the spring, the Lakers really know how to do 11. They were a mess of conflicting skills and rampaging egos for most of their tumultuous season, but they 've won 14 of their last 19 games. That momentum, even more than their eclectically talented roster. makes them the favorite over the Detroit Pistons in Game I on Sunday. "We're getting close to playing our best basketball ," Karl Malone said. ''We' re not there yet. but we 've been creeping up on it for a while now. Except for a couple of games in the second round (against San Antonio), we've been improving and finding our focus better.'' Late-season surges are a hallmark of coach Phil Jackson's teams. but the Lakers' veterans took it to an extreme this season . Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant both recently admitted to being bored during long stretches of the regular season, while new arrivals Malone and Gary Payton still aren't really comfonable in Jackson's system. But when the Lukers can smell a title. they perk up - and that's exactly what seems to be h.appening in these playoffs. "So far in the playoffs. they've been able to do what they want, whenever they want it, whenever they need it," Detroit backup center Elden Campbell said. The Lukers made a wealth of adjust ments on both ends of the coun after losing Game 2 of their second-round series at San Antonio. Los Angeles finished off the series with four straight victories with a ~igantic boost from Derek ·Fi sher's 1mprobable buzzer-beater in Game 5 - and followed with a six-game victory over Minnesota in the conference finals. · "No way did we think we were going to beat (the Spurs) four times in a row," Fisher said. "The success we've had 'in this postseason is by playing one game at a time. There hasn' t been an air of de speration, a 9-1-1, 'We have to win this game.'·· No Eastern team without Michael Jordan on its roster has won the finals since Detroit captured its second title in 1990. Though the Lakers are clear favorites for their momentum and talent, the Pistons ' defense and Richard Hamilton' s scoring should give them a better chance than other recent East finalists. , Jackson doesn 't expect Detroit to be better on defense than San Antonio, but that was the strongest opinion voiced during Los Angeles' workout in El Segundo on Friday.

There is talk 100,000 will jam 17th Ave., known as the Red Mile in the Flames' honor, to celebrate a Cupclinching victory in Game 6 against Tampa Bay on Saturday night Newspaper headlines declare Jarome lginla is virtually cenain to be the playoffs MVP once Calgary wins its first Cup since 1989, completing an improbable run for the sixth seed in the Western Conference. · So why is Lightning coach John ·Tortorella talking as if Game 7 on Monday not only is a possibility, but a certainty? And why was Flames coach Darryl Sutter, overly cautious throughout the ·playoffs ·about speaking a single word that could turn up on an opponent's bulletin board, even more restrained than usual Friday? Maybe it's because Tortorella and Sutter both know recent history suggests that a Cup-deciding victory in Game 6 is anything but assured. Three of the last five teams with a chance to win the Cup in Game 6 could· n't do so: the 2003 and 2001 Devils and the 1994 Rangers. The 2000 Devils and 1999 Stars pulled it off, but Dallas needed a third overtime in Buffalo and a di sputed goal by Brett Hull and the Devils required a two-ovenime game in Dallas. The 200 I Devils not only lost Game 6 at home to Colorado, they lost Game 7 and the series, too. "It just tells you that every game is sort of an entity unto itself," a weary Sutter said, only a few hours removed from an all-night flight following Thursday's 3-2 overtime victory in Game 5. What Tortorella is telling his players is the series isn't over. Asked if he expects to go back home for Game 7, he sa id. "Yes, we will." He even revealed the Lightning's travel plans, saying they will stay in Calgary after Game 6 to rest up before tlyin g home Sunday. "Then we'll go on to Game. 7," he said .

His tactic 1S low-risk , too, since the Flames seemingly own nearly every advantage as they close in on becoming Canada's first Stanley Cup champion since Montreal 'in 1993. The excitement in Calgary is inescapable, the Flames' ali-in-red fans are certain to be at their tumultuous best and the momentum is theirs. But Tortorella must have liked this sign: An optional skate Friday afternoon attracted every player, a rarity so late in the two, month playoff grind. "We're fine.

W.Va. - In the 1970s, a trapper could turn a good protit w1th two dozen traps and a little leg work. "Trapping was about all my father did during the winter mo.nths back then," Daniel Lilly of Cool Ridge explained. "He could make more money with his traps than he could at a steady job." . But that was nearly 30 years ago. Today, Lilly and hi s dad, J.D. Lilly. are not so lucky. They. still trap foxes, coyotes, bobcats. raccoons, beaver and mink during the fall and winter trapping season, but the pelts from the animals are nowhere near as valuable as !hey once were. A red fox pelt that once fetched as much as $75 per hide now brings only about $15 from fur uealers, according 10 Lilly. Pelts of other animals average as follows: coyotes, $20: gray fox. $18; raccoons, $18: beaver, $12, and bobcat, $25. "f'eople are not .buying clothes made of real animal fur· like they did in the past,'' Lilly lamented, adding .. ;And some animal rights groups have made it tough on trappers to ply their skills in the wi ld." Even so, it's still ftm to harvest small fur-bearing creaiUres the way mountain men did more than 200 years ago. "'It 's exciting to go out and run your traps to see if you caught anything." Lilly said. "It 's a sport just like anything else. Like hunting, ii's not a sure thing. You have good days and bad days, just like any other sportsman. " Lilly gets up at 5 a.m. on winter days to run his trap line. along the-tields and creeks near his home. The treks usually include hiking rugged terrain as well as wadi hg along creeks and streams in the hills and hollows at the ·base of Flat Top Mountain. Li lly and his father routinely work a grid-like area near fanns and rural thoroughfares whenlhey are trapping the elusive small game in .the woods. "'We try to slay awa7 from houses so that we don t accidentally catch a St. Bernard in our fox trap,;· the high school senior explained. "We try to get far enough away that we don't have to wony about catching pets in our traps." Since the last trapping season ended in February, the Lilly duo has been busy preparing · about 40 animal pelts for sale starting last month . "Once the weather starts heating up, we try to do. something with the skins," the trapper · observed. ,;It's not good to have pelts lying around in the heat. It can ruin them."

In Ohio. an individual applying for Medicaid may have no more than $1.500 in "countable resources ," Married persons applying for Medicaid as a couple must fall below $2,500 in resources, except where a nursing home placement has occurred for one of the spouses. Recall , however. that several assets, including the home, will be exempted from consideration as a resource when being used by a community ' spouse or certain dependents, Community spouses of Medicaid applicants are also entitled to what is known as a Community Spouse Resource Allowance (CSRA), This is an allocation that is made to the community spouse out of the total countable marital resources found in the Resource Assessment and will be the greater of the following: a minimum of $18.552; or. one-half of the total Countable Resources, not to exceed $92,760, though both of the amounts increase yearly with the consumer price index, The CSRA determined by this formula applies unless the community spouse demonstrates that greater resources are needed to generate the community spouse 's Mont.'lly Income Allowance, Notwithstanding the formula, planning possibilities exist for the community spouse.

Harry Potter is 13 now, an . awkward age for anyone even a boy wizard armed with magical powers. · But "Harry Potter and the · Prisoner of Azkaban:· the third film in the series. couldn "t be more se lfassured. Alfonso Cuaron, best known for making the gritty coming-of-age film ·· y Tu Mama Tambien ." has taken over directing duties and taken the tale in a darker direction. Much of that comes from author J.K. Row ling's source material itse lf- '" Azkaban"' is heavier thematicallv than its predecessors. :is ' Harry learns more about how hi s ·p;lrents died and begins to understand who he really is. (Steve Kloves, who adapted the first two ""Harry Potter" books for the screen, wrote the script for thi s one, as well. Rawling. meanwhile, has completed five books in her seven-book series.) · Visually. though. "Azkaban·· isn 't as glossy or whimsical as the first two films - "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" and "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets"" ~ both of which Chris Columbus directed. Cuaron has completely reinvented the series with a bleakly beautiful style that resembles German expressionism, using cold shades of gray, a generous · amount of black and off-kilter camera angles. The skie s are constantly cloudy over the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. and even a game of Quidditch. the young wi zards ' beloved sport. takes place in a driving rain storm. It 's a daring move, one that makes "Azkaban" more stimulating for adults but may haveresulted in a fi lm that's too scary for young· kids. The De mentors ~ hooded . creatures who guard the Azkaban prison and suck the souls from their victims ~ are sent to Hogwarts to pro tect the students from escaped wizard Sirius Black, but that doesn ' t make them any less ominous. (Perhaps, though, playing video games has taught children how to divorce this kind of experi ence from reality; a . De mentor may seem I ike just another zappable bad guy.) . "Azkaban" has some wondrous moments, too. A scene in which Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) takes a ride on a hippogriff - a flying animal that's half horse, half eagle - has a soaring, r m-the./ king-of-the-world energy r about it, only without the bo1ilbastic Celine Dian mustc . The supporting cast is more fabulous than ever. Besides the returning actors - . including Alan Rickman as the snippy Professor Snape and Robbie Coltrane as the lovable giant Hagrid - there are some wonderful additions. David Thewli s plays the supportive Defense Against the Dark Arts reacher who helps Harry face his fears, and Emma Thompson is a scene stealer as a hippiechick divination profe ssor, a · showy role that"s a great contrast with the prim parts for which she's best known .

Nearly 60 million non-owners likely fret about the same thing: do I continue to rent or leap into the ho1:1sing market? This ,inner debate takes on added urgency as interest rates inch upward . Every moment straddling the do-lor-don't-! fence adds to the costs of buying. Even a yuarter of a percentage point increase tacks extra dollars to monthly mortgage costs. Still, there seems little reason to equivocate: even with a slight uptick, rates remain low enough to keep home ownership within reach of renters whose collective billions in Spt:~s: . rent checks build zero equity. But a surplus of misinformation blocks the path toward the American dream, according to one banking insider. "Fear ·of the unknown make s people not move,1' says Gene Morris, a mortgage lending expert for Bank of America. "We know half of renters are intimidated by the home-finance process or arc worried about large down payments. . The mortgage process is a lot simpler and easier than it used to be." He suggests renters take a logical first step: sit down with a financial adviser you tru~t to separate fact from fiction when it tomes to real estate and mortgages. Mis no mer No. I is the assumption borrowers must scrape together a huge chunk of money - 15 percent or more - as a down payment. Not so. says Morris. Three percent to 5 percent - and in some cases no down payment - is commonplace. But ,the supposed enormity of down-payment amounts has taken on urban legend status. All the more reason, says Morris. to ask someone who knows the ins and outs of down payments. "It doesn't cost a dime to ask ques~ tions." he says. There's a big upside to calling a home your own. For one, interest on mortgage payments is tax deductible. Some states and cities tack on added inducements or tax credits reserved for homeowners. And .even if home values grow by single digits each year, owners reap that gravy when the time comes to sell. "People worry about interest rates, but they should be equally concerned with what happen~ to home values ," observes Morris. "Real estate values tend to go up. and it's all the more reason to venture into the market." Some die-hard holdouts are less concerned with rates but overcome by fears of making a mistake in their first home . Others worry they'll be forced to settle on a home below their expectations. It may boil down to a matter of dollars and cents. "For most of us, home ownership is a great way to build personal wealth, and you can· t do that with monthly rent checks." says Morris. By his estimate, $1 ,000 plowed into monthly rent is equivalent to a mortgage payment on a $130,000 home. That includes taxes and insurance. Buying that first home may represent a leap of faith but it 's usually just the first of at least several homes for most consumers. "The reality of real estate is that as values grow, you move onward and upward," says Morris. "But you have to start somewhere, and mortgage payments beat paying rent by a long shot." the next great American appliance (AP) Spas have come a ion~ way since inventive Caltfornians soaked them~ selves in warm water poured into wine casks in the 1960s and 1970s. About the only thing today's spa experience shares with its oaken forebears is . heated water. Now, homeowners lux uriate among dozens of pulsating jets of water aimed at nearly every portion of sore, tired bodies. Arching cascades of softly lighted water replicate the hypnotic sounds of babbling brooks. And if that's not enough to cast aside the pressures of daily life, how about hightech sound systems that resonate your favorite tunes through the shell of the spa, without speakers? All the bells and whistles are but a means to an end. What peopie long to do - melt away the hard edge of the day and slow the pace of life to a craw l - is really what backyard spas are all about. "We're not in the hot tub sales business. we're in the rdaxation business," says Jim Van Reel of Mainely Tubs, the nation's largest selling Hot Sp~ng Spa dealer in Ponlllf!d. Mame~ "We sell stress relief with a product that has a lot of swirling hot water." To Van Fleet, spas are "the next great American appliance." He's seen Hot Spring sates go from a trickle to a torr.ent. A decade ago he sold 30 spas in one year; in 2004 he's on pace to sell 800. And it's because the spa maker has heard the siren cal l of stressed consumers: help me, my family, and my friends, relax . · "Everyone wants to relax. it 's all a matter of how you help people do that." says Steve Hammock, Hot Spring Spa CEO. "Homeowner> are pretty clear about what they want in terms of enhancements and reliability. That's what's taken spas to were they are today." Hot water is still at the heart of the spa experience. How it's used is another mattcr. Hammond says spas have evolved from a few fixed Jets to, in the case of Hot Spring Spas, numerous "MotoMassage" jets that constantly change positions. Fixed jets pummel the same part of the body to the point of discomfort; jets in motion move so the rclaxee doesn't have to. Sound plays a bigger and bigger role in the quest for total relaxation . Higher-end spas Fonnect stereo systems to transducers wired to the tub shell. This "SpAudio" effect softly vibrates sounds throughout the unit. Also new are water features that direct seveml small arching strewnlets of water to the middle of the spa. This quiet "lamina! tlow design" can be backlighted througb a convex dome beneath the s~tface. The effect, says Hammock, adds tranquility to an already soothing experience. The soft gurgle of water and subsurface jets, music and light is ideal for creation of other, less frequen tly heard sounds around most households: real conversations. Barry Jackman. a Mainely Tubs customer, says the hot tub "gives us some family time to talk. It's a bonus I' never thought I would get out of it. It's just great family time." Hammock, himself the father of live. says "The best conversations are in 'the spa where my wife and I have the total attention of the kids. We have them captive. It's a relationship-building sort of destination, one of the few spots in a home where you can really have a cpnversation ." And the talk seldom turns to maintenance. People want convenience. reliability and the ability to hop in whenever they feel -like it without stoking up the heater or fussing with water. Hammock says spa maintenance is minimal now, but the next "revolution will be automatic sanitizing systems that don't reqt1ire any . ongoing maintenance." Consumers can spend $6,000 or more for Hot Spring's tlagship spa. the sixperson Vista. Still, money is no object for stressed homeowners who know relaxation and lots of it i·s.the name of the hot tub and spa game. "We even so ld former President Bush a hot tub for hi s Kennebunkport home;· says Van Fleet. "It 's hard to imagine the spa business dropping off. It's just getting more and more popu1ar." Reach Hot Sprin,\ls on the Web at www.hotspnngs.com . The original question was: The walls and ceiling above my shower are cracking and peeling. The bathroom has a vent fan. Can you suggest proper ventilation of the wallboard, the type of undercoat and the type of paint (oil . W<tter, enamel)'' We suggested a procedure to repair the walls and cracked ,paint, and we cautioned the questioner to ensure that the vent fan was operating or that the window was open during (and after) steaming up the room. The questioner complained of existing damage to· his walls and requested guidance on a method uf repair. He indicated that he had a vent fan, but did not say that he was using it. So we cautioned him to do so. The tlaking and cracking paint could indicate that he either was not using the fan (very common), or the deteriorating wall finish was originally done improperly, or both. In any case. the walls needed repair, and repainting (fan problem or not) seemed necessary. Getting . your deck into shape (AP) It 's time to launch another summer of fun . but your deck looks crummy. Here are a few tips and tricks for making your deck look spiffy. You might find some stains to be too tough for common cleaning - leaf stains, for instance. They can be removed by scrubbing with a 50-50 solution of household bleach and water. Messy, dried barbecue sauce stains are easy to remove using auto degreaser ·or - believe it or not carburetor cleaner. You can remove nasty black stains from tannin-rich woods with a deck brightener from your local hardware store or home center. Just be sure to apply it ,according to the manufacturer's directions. Most cleaning so lutions are best applied in the shade, not in direct sunlight. Proud to be apart of your life.

William asks: I dis;~gree with your answer to a man who had a bathroom door that fit too tight and did not permit any airflow to the vent fan . In my experience, this problem is caused by carpet filling the space under the door. What you should have said was: Open and close the door while the vent fan is running. If the fan increases or decreases its rpm . you have a problem with air circulation. Cut half an inch off the bottom of the door. Recheck. It' it improves but still changes rpm.· take off another quarter of an inch. .A. The near-pressurized condition you describe might be true on some airplanes or in a submarine, but this is generally not the case in home construction. It is extremely rare to lind doors in typical residential construction that close so tightly air will not pass through at least the door and jamb at the butt. head and hardware sides (not to mention below, even with carpet). Additionally, if heat register exists in a room. it can provide ample air supply for a vent fan whether the heater is operating or not. The condition you suggest is a possibility, but in our opinion. it's a somewhat remote one. , "'elgs, G<tllia, Damaged paint on bath ceiling· BY MORRIS &unba!'
