I putyou in Hawaiian Tommy Bahamashirts and shorts and flip flops,'\"he recalled.\"And I said, 'That sounds good tome,' and, sure enough, when Iarrived in Miami, in the summerlast year, the rest of the cast werevery jealous of me. Let me justput it that way.\"Starring Shannon Gisela,Danay Garcia, BrittanyAdebumola and Dylan Jackson,the Peacock series was created byBill Dubuque and follows Etta(Gisela,) a young womandetermined to avenge theexecutions of her drug-runningparents and brothers by membersof a Miami cartel.Kincaid initially was hired by thegangsters to find out if Ettasurvived the mass murder.\"I've been a big fan of BillDubuque for a long time. Mywife and I binged Ozark as soonas it came out and we were justabsolutely gripped by hisextraordinary talent of writingreally nuanced characters anddrama and action in a way that noother writer we've seen in a longtime has,\" Elwes said.\"So, when I was approached toplay Kincaid, I jumped at thechance because I knew that theywould write a nuanced characterfor me and he is this complexguy. He's an ex-Miami-Dadehomicide detective who's turnedinto a coin-operated privateinvestigator and he's trying totrack down the killers of thisyoung girl's family. But he endsup, in this season, rediscoveringhis moral compass.\"The detective is committed to thecase even as he realizes howdangerous the people involved init are.\"He's a curious person by nature.All private investigators I spenttime with are very curiouspeople. A lot of them are exdetectives or ex-police officersand they're sticklers for thetruth,\" Elwes said.\"I like that he's a guy who'sincredibly inquisitive and justcan't turn off the clock when hediscovers some new informationor some clue,\" he added.\"Private investigators have to usetheir wiles to get informationand, obviously, most of theirsources are from their colleagueswithin the police department and,so, they rely heavily on thoserelationships and sometimes youhave to grease a palm or two toget some details that otherwisewould be inaccessible.\"And be a little charming, too,when the situation calls for it?\"It doesn't hurt,\" Elwes quipped.The actor was also recently seenplaying a 1970s-era Indianapolispolice detective in the film, DeadMan's Wire.\"Playing two detectives in a rowis an unusual thing for an actor. Iguess I was giving off a detectivevibe when Mr. Dubuque and Ms.Campbell saw my work. I don'tknow,\" Elwes said.\"I do love trying to mix it up, but,so, I try to make these charactersas diverse as possible. Obviously,the character I play in DeadMan's Wire is based on a realguy, so I had a lot of resources towork with there. But for TimKincaid, really, it was aboutfinding the character with Karenand Bill and really figuring outwhat his nuance is.\"By Karen ButlerCary Elwes portrays Tim Kincaid in the new Peacock drama M.I.A.FYICary ElwesBornIvan Simon Cary ElwesOctober 26, 1962 (age 63)Westminster, London, EnglandElwes comes from a rich line ofancestors, which include clerics,bishops, portrait artists,photographers, and even John Elwes,the rumored inspiration for EbenezerScrooge in Dickens 1843 novel AChristmas Carol.

Page 6 HAPPENINGS June 11, 2026 www.hap2it.comBarbara Crampton: 'Obsession' showshow unique horror succeedsHorror legend BarbaraCrampton, who currently stars inthe short The Blue Diamond, onBloody Bites, said the recentsuccess of Backrooms andObsession bodes well for newhorror filmmakers.Crampton's first horror movie was1985's Re-Animator. Over hercareer, she has worked withdistinct directors and recentlyproduced some of her own films.In a recent Zoom interviewCrampton said Backrooms andObsession prove that uniquevoices will find an audience.\"There's no formula,\" Cramptonsaid. \"Just let the creatives dowhat they do and be creative.That's the key. So I'm glad to seethat these young filmmakers havereally risen to the top and gotten aplatform to show their work.\"Backrooms is based onwriter/director Kane Parsons'YouTube series. Cramptonwatched Obsession writer/directorCurry Barker's shorts onInstagram.\"I thought that he was really greatin the short form,\" Crampton said.\"He definitely had a creep factorand the timing of everything andthe editing was so good becausethere was no fat on anything.\"The Blue Diamond is fromwriter/director Sam Fox. It starsCrampton as Jacqueline, a 1980sski maven who may actually be acult leader, and Desiree Staples asher estranged daughter, Alison.\"You do have to find your ownvoice and try to be as unique aspossible and true to what you wantto do, not try to do a copycat,\"Crampton said. \"That's art soyou've got to be your own person.Clearly, these guys have done thatand I feel like Sam has done that.\"The Blue Diamond has played atfilm festivals since 2024. Foxintended the short as a calling cardfor a feature length film, and saidthe viability of horror longprecedes Backrooms andObsession.\"I've been saying to investors,'You don't understand. Horroralmost always makes money. Itdoesn't need big stars. We canmake it for not a lot of money andaudiences love it and they will goto the cinema to see it,'\" Fox said.Fox also drew inspiration from herfather, whom she said was anarcissist. When Desireeconfronts Jacqueline, Jacquelineboth wants her daughter back, andstill has a nefarious agenda.\"Even narcissists have yearningsand feelings, I think,\" Cramptonsaid. \"To marry both of thosecomponents into one scene, Ireally wanted to do that to payhomage to this character that'sbased on Sam's dad.\"The short only alludes to whatAlison's childhood was like. Foxsaid Alison's monologue wasoriginally longer, but even thedeleted material informedDesiree's character, and can stillbe explored in the feature.\"Jacqueline wants Alison to bethis Barbie doll imitation of her,\"Staples said. \"In the monologue,Alison loves to talk in metaphorsand distance herself from thesituation. So there were a lot offun nuggets there that I'll have tobring back for the feature.\"Crampton recognized a bit ofJacqueline's behavior in her ownhistory.\"I feel like I've met somenarcissists in my life and I feel likeI've dated some,\" Crampton said.\"I was definitely romanced bysomebody who treated me as if Iwas the second coming, and thenjust had nothing but horriblethings to say about me.\"Jacqueline and her followers' '80sski bunny looks were also acomponent of her narcissism, Foxsaid.\"Another thing about narcissists isa lot of times they're stuck in thepast or in their heyday,\" Fox said,adding that Jacqueline maintainsher '80s cult as \"a kind of GloriaSwanson in Sunset Boulevardidea.\"Fox said the feature would requirea multi-million dollar budgetwhich she has not been able tosecure as a first-time featuredirector. She plans to make a lessexpensive feature to establishherself first.\"Then when they're ready to throwthe money at me, it's going to beballs to the walls crazy,\" Fox saidof the Blue Diamond feature.Crampton's '80s classics remainpopular. She attended 40thanniversary screenings of ReAnimator last year with co-starsJeffrey Combs and BruceAbbott, representing the latewriter/director Stuart Gordon.\"Re-Animator still holds upbecause it was very bold in itstime,\" Crampton said. \"I guessyou can't be afraid to beoutrageous. It just further cementswhat we're talking about.\"Crampton is surprised that she hasfielded fewer requests for herfollow-up with Gordon, 1986'sFrom Beyond.\"I feel like that was my better rolein that universe, but ReAnimator's Stuart's seminal movieso there was more of a hoopla forthat,\" Crampton said.Both films impacted Fox, she said,whose older sister showed herhorror movies while they grew upin the' 90s. Fox personallyrequested an anniversaryscreening of From Beyond.\"Rosemary's Baby was myfavorite movie when I was five,\"Fox said. \"I [expletive] lovedBarbara. So did my sister. Whenshe said yes to the role I called herand I'm like, 'You are not going tobelieve this.' It was a reallybeautiful moment because it's likethe things that shaped me are nowbecoming part of my life.\"By Fred TopelJacqueline (Barbara Crampton) is stuck in her 80sheyday in “The Blue Diamond” on Bloody Bites(Screambox app or screambox.com)Movie review: 'Obsession'disturbs with relationshiphorror By Fred Topel Obsession takes a familiar wishgone-wrong premise and turns itinto an unsettling examination ofagency, entitlement, andemotional honesty. The filmfollows Bear, whose desire to bewith Nikki has disturbingconsequences when a magicalwish alters her behavior withouther consent. Writer-directorCurry Barker avoids overexplaining the mystery whilehinting at the fate of the realNikki. The review praises thefilm’s eerie visual style and itsthematic exploration of unhealthymale disaffection. While Bear isnot portrayed as malicious, hisactions carry serious moralconsequences. The film is alsohighlighted as a strong showcasefor actress AvangelineNavarette’s performance.Feature Story.qxp_My Turn 1-2H 6/8/26 4:01 PM Page 1


www.hap2it.com June 11, 2026 HAPPENINGS Page 7Whenever I think of Belgium, Irecall digging into a dish ofmussels while seated on a sunnysquare in Brussels, in the shadowof a lacy medieval spire. Mywaiter bragged, \"In Belgium, weeat as much as the Germans and asfine as the French.\"Wedged between Germany,France, and the Netherlands,Belgium often gets lost in the mix.But this overlooked countryrewards visitors with some ofEurope’s finest cuisine, includingits best beer, creamiest chocolates,and tastiest french fries.You’ll find a good mix of bothGermanic and French influenceshere. The Flemish (Dutchspeaking natives of Flanders –now northern Belgium) were ruledby the dukes of Burgundy, andabsorbed some of the fancy Frenchcuisine of their overlords. And yet,once Belgian, always Belgian:This country has perfected the artof cooking with its own uniquebeers, imbuing the cuisine with ahoppy sweetness.Mussels are one of Belgium'ssignature dishes. The classicpreparation isà la marinière,cooked in white wine, onions,celery, parsley, and butter (thoughsome cooks use light Belgian beerfor the stock). For a high-calorieversion, moules à la crème isthickened with heavy cream.You'll also find them served plain,with white wine, or in a tomatosauce (provençale). From aboutmid-July through April, you’ll getthe big Dutch mussels (most arefrom the coastal Zeeland area tothe north). Locals take a breakfrom mussels in May and June,when only the puny Danish kindare available.The mussels come with anotherBelgian specialty on the side,frieten – what we call \"frenchfries\" and the Dutch call \"Flemishfries.\" In Belgium, fries are an artform. J ust like every village inEngland has its “chippy” (for fishand-chips), and every Germanburg has its wurst stand (forsausages), every Belgian town hasa favored frietkot (fry shack, alsocalled a frituur). The fries areextra-delicious because they’redeep-fried twice – once to cookthem and once to brown them. Thebest fries are cooked to a crisp inflavorful ox fat.Traditionally, Belgian fries aregenerously topped with sauces likemayo (the most traditional), tartarsauce, curry ketchup, or currysaus(without the ketchup). Ketchup issometimes available for theYankee tourists, but I encourageyou to skip it and go on a sauceadventure. When I see a sauce thatsounds scary — like \"samuraisauce\" — I go for it.If you need something to washdown those mussels and fries,Belgium has you covered. It's rightup there with Germany, England,and the Czech Republic as one ofthe world's great beer countries.Belgians take their beers asseriously as the French take theirwines. And when it comes tovariety, Belgium is number one,with hundreds of beer types andabout 1,500 brands.In general, Belgian beer is yeastierand higher in alcohol content thanbeers in other countries.Connoisseurs and novices alikecan be confused by the manychoices, and casual drinkersprobably won’t like every kindoffered, since some don’t eventaste like beer. Locals in pubs arehappy to educate you on thenumerous options. You can alsopay your respects to Belgian beerby taking a brewery tour; DeHalve Maan Brewery in Bruges isone of the most accessible andenjoyable.When you're ready for a sweettreat, indulge in Belgium'sexquisite chocolates. The twobasic types are pralines (what wegenerally think of as “chocolates”– a hard chocolate shell with afilling) and truffles (a softer,crumblier shell with filling).Belgians truly have a passion forchocolate. The people of Bruges,in particular, are connoisseurs;tempting chocolate-filled displaywindows are all over town.Katelijnestraat is “ChocolateRow,” with a half-dozen shopswithin a few steps. While localsrarely buy chocolate here (pricesare marked up for tourists), it’s aconvenient place to shop. Amongthe many good options, I likeDumon, which makes some ofBruges’ smoothest, creamiestchocolates — and their staffhappily describe them with anevangelical fervor.Save room for another sweetBelgian specialty – waffles. You’llsee little windows, shops, andtrucks selling them either plain(for Belgians and purists) ortopped with fruit, jam, chocolatesauce, ice cream, or whippedcream (for tourists). Belgiansrecognize two general types ofwaffles. The common take-outversion is the dense, sugar-crusted,and very sweet Liège-style waffle,usually served warm. Brusselsstyle waffles are lighter andfluffier, dusted with powderedsugar, and sometimes topped withmarmalade. Though Americansthink of “Belgian” waffles as abreakfast food, Belgians generallyhave them as a late-afternoonsnack.Hungry? Belgium is ready for you.Like sampling a flavorful pralinein a chocolate shop, that firstenticing taste just leaves youwanting more. Go ahead, it’s OK… buy a whole box of Belgium.By Rick StevesBelgiancuisine: The sweet, the savory,and the sudsytravel Belgians take their beers as seriously as the French take theirwines, with hundreds of types and about 1,500 brands.Travel_9x.qxp_TRAVEL KEN 6/8/26 12:21 PM Page 1

Page 26 HAPPENINGS June 11, 2026 www.hap2it.comU.S. homebuyers can't get abreak. The 30-year mortgage ratehas been stuck at recent highswell above 6% and now averages6.48%, according to the datareleased on June 4, 2026, byFreddie Mac, which bundles andsells home loans. That marksanother blow for Americans hoping to buy a home or refinancetheir current mortgage that hadbeen locked in at similarly steeprates. It's also a sharp jump sinceFebruary 2026, when the financing cost of a 30-year mortgagehad dropped as low as 6%.Pricey mortgages have beenweighing on the housing marketmore broadly, which has notescaped President Donald Trump.He has waged an aggressive campaign to pressure the FederalReserve, which sets the shortterm benchmark rate, to makedeeper cuts to the cost of borrowing. The new Fed chief, KevinWarsh, has also been touting ratecuts since he was nominated byTrump, a reversal from his earlieranti-inflation stance.As a professor of finance, Ihave been asked why mortgagerates are rising even though theFed has been keeping rates steadyafter a series of cuts in 2024 and2025. The central bank actuallyhas little control over the cost ofhome loans -- and Americansmay be stuck with high rates for along time.How much can the Fed controlmortgage rates?Not that much. The Fed directly influences the federal fundsrate, a short-term interest rate thatbanks charge one another forovernight loans. Many peopleassume that mortgage rates movein lockstep with the Fed's decisions, but, in fact, they're drivenprimarily by financial markets.Thirty-year mortgages arelong-term assets. Investors purchasing those loans, either directly or through mortgage-backedsecurities, are making decisionsbased on what they believe inflation, economic growth, government borrowing and interest rateswill look like years into thefuture.So what does affect mortgagerates?Inflation is one of the biggestfactors. Although inflation hasdeclined substantially from thepeaks experienced in 2022 and2023, investors remain uncertainabout when it will return to theFed's official long-term target of2%, especially with elevated oilprices and the ongoing conflictwith Iran.This uncertainty mattersbecause when lenders originate a30-year, fixed-rate mortgage,they're committing capital fordecades. If inflation turns out tobe higher than expected, thefuture payments that lendersreceive will be worth less in realpurchasing-power terms. Tocompensate for that risk,investors demand higher yieldsfor the higher cost of borrowing.The greater the risk, the higherthe yield.Federal government borrowingis another important factor. Thelong-term budget outlook by theindependent scorekeeperCongressional Budget Officeprojects continuing large federaldeficits and rising debt levels inthe years ahead. It estimated thatTrump's massive tax and immigration bill, passed by theRepublican-controlled Congressin 2025, will add $3.4 trillion tofederal deficits through 2034.Financing the deficit requiresthe U.S. Treasury to issue largeamounts of debt by sellingTreasury bonds and other securities. When the supply of government bonds increases, investorsmay require higher yields toabsorb that additional supply.And because Treasury yieldsserve as a benchmark for manydifferent types of borrowing coststhroughout the economy, mortgage rates often move with them.In particular, mortgage rates tendto track the yield on the 10-yearU.S. Treasury note much moreclosely than they track the federalfunds rate.What else affects mortgagerates?Adding another layer of complexity are mortgage-backedsecurities, which are made up ofbundled loans that are sold toinvestors rather than remainingon a lender's balance sheet.Investors who own these securities face risks that Treasury bondinvestors do not. Chief amongthem is the right to refinance:Homeowners can refinance whenrates fall, pay the loan downmore quickly than required by themortgage contract, or moveunexpectedly and completelyrepay loans early.So investors generally demanda premium above Treasury yieldswhen buying mortgage-backedsecurities to compensate for thisprepayment risk. Otherwise, theywould be stuck with a returnlower than they initially expectedwhen they bought that loan.Since mortgage rates are high,the general expectation is thatmany homeowners will refinanceat lower rates once they can. Thatmeans the refinance risk isgreater than usual -- and it haskept the difference, or spread,between 10-year Treasuries andmortgage rates elevated compared to historical norms, according to the Urban Institute'sHousing Finance Policy Center.In short, even if Treasuryyields remain stable, a largermortgage spread could keepmortgage rates higher than borrowers might expect. This helpsexplain why mortgage rates don'talways move in the same direction as Fed policy, and why mortgage rates have stayed high evenafter the Fed started loweringshort-term interest rates in 2024.Why it helps to take the longviewLast, there's an important historical perspective that's oftenmissing from discussions abouttoday's mortgage market.Many Americans compare current mortgage rates with theextraordinarily low rates available during 2020 and 2021, whensome borrowers secured 30-yearmortgages at rates that werebelow 3%. Those were amongthe lowest mortgage rates everrecorded in the United States --the exception rather than the rule- and a result of the Fed's emergency measures to steer the economy out of recession.In fact, throughout much of the1990s and early 2000s, mortgagerates frequently ranged between6% and 8%. Viewed through thatlens, today's rates are far lessunusual than many Americanswould think.Mortgages have been aroundmore than two millenia, surviving empires, kingdoms, depressions, wars, financial crises andtechnological revolutions. Thedetails have changed dramatically, but the underlying economicshave not: Lenders have alwaysdemanded compensation forinflation risk, uncertainty and thetime value of money.That's why mortgage ratesaren't determined solely by theFed but by millions of investorsmaking judgments about thefuture. And at the moment, thoseinvestors remain cautious.By Michael HighfieldMortgage rates are staying high -- and the Fed can do little about itHomesPlus.qxp_HAPPENINGS FULL AD TEMPLATE 6/9/26 4:46 PM Page 27

Page 30 HAPPENINGS June 11, 2026 www.hap2it.comQ: I need a release paper fromthe title company. The unfortunate thing is that they are nolonger in business. I am unable tofind them or anybody who canhelp me. I am helping my dadand he is 87 years old.A: We hear from readers dealing with this frustrating situationmore often than you’d think. Butif you’re looking for the releaseshowing your dad paid off hismortgage, the title company isthe wrong place to go — even ifthey were still in business.The first thing you must do ismake sure your dad made thefinal payment on his mortgageand his loan balance shows asowing nothing more.Start by contacting the mortgage lender or mortgage servicer.Unfortunately, many lendersdon’t send any loan releasepaperwork to the homeowner.That leaves homeowners wondering whether they have, in fact,made the final payment on theirmortgage. These lenders usuallyfile their release paperworkdirectly with the office that handles real estate records whereyour dad’s home is located.As a bit of background, whenyour dad took out his loan, hislender recorded a lien against theproperty. This lien was the mortgage. The mortgage was filed inthe office of the recorder of deedsor perhaps another office thathandles real estate filings in thecounty where your dad’s home islocated.Once the settlement agent thathandled the funding for yourdad’s loan recorded the mortgage, their work was done. Yearslater, when your dad paid off hismortgage, the mortgage lender ormortgage loan servicer, not thetitle company, would have beenresponsible for sending therelease of the mortgage forrecording or filing. We think youmight be looking for this document.If you’re looking for therelease of the mortgage, youshould check if the lender filed orrecorded the release. Sometimesyou can look up documents usingthe online system your localrecorder of deeds office hasonline. However, if your localoffice doesn’t have an onlinerecords search option, you canalways take a ride to their officeand look at the records yourself,as this information is in the public record.If you don’t find what you’relooking for, you might try to contact the original lender directly.Even if they’ve sold the loan orgone through mergers, they’restill responsible for providingproof that the debt was satisfied.Have you checked your dad’srecords? Did he get anythingshowing the loan was paid infull? He may have received afinal loan statement showing thatthe loan was paid off or a letterletting him know that the loanwas paid in full. You can alsocheck your dad’s credit history tosee if the loan is shown as “paidin full” or “paid as agreed.” Youmight also look to see if there is azero balance in the credit reportfor this loan. If there is still a balance owed, then the loan is notpaid off.But all this makes us wonderwhy you’re searching for this.Are you trying to sell the property? If you can’t find anything inyour dad’s records showing theloan is paid off, but you knowthat it’s paid off, you’ll have towork with the escrow agent orsettlement agent to see what theyare willing to accept as proof thatthe loan was paid off.As we mentioned above, you’llneed to reach out to the loan servicer for the release letter or otherdocument that they may provideyou showing the loan was paidoff.If he is still making paymentson the loan, then what you’relooking for is someone at the loanservicer who can give you a payoff letter or demand letter, whichis what lenders issue to peoplewho are selling homes that stillhave a remaining mortgage balance. The closing or settlementagent will use this when distributing the proceeds from the saleand pay off whatever is still owedto the lender.Hopefully, you’ll find whatyou’re looking for quickly.By Ilyce Glink & Samuel J.

www.hap2it.com June 11, 2026 HAPPENINGS Page 31There are several events in alarge building project that I findto be exhilarating. One of them isnailing in place the last rafter in acommon-framed roof. Standingat the top of the roof skeletonlooking down into the house fillsme with a sense of pride andaccomplishment. There’s more todo until the house is move-inready, but reaching this plateau isvery satisfying.I get the same feeling when Iinstall kitchen cabinets. Whatseems like a simple job is not, inreality. You discover quickly thatit pays off in spades to investextra time in the early stages ofconstruction. Floors, walls, soffits, and ceilings need to be perfect if you don’t want to end upswearing like a sailor. Once thecabinets start to connect with oneanother with ease, all of the workyou invested to make it happenproduces a euphoric feeling. Atleast it does for me!My son and I were finally ableto install the six cabinets in hisbasement speakeasy this pastweekend. He was over the moon,as the end of this project is nowjust weeks away. We can onlywork on the job one day a weekbecause of his work schedule andmy head ushering responsibilitiesat my church.I want to share with you a fewtips I’ve discovered over theyears that help make kitchen orbath cabinet installation more funthan work. It all starts at the floorlevel, as you might suspect.There are several things youshould do in the early stages ofbuilding the floors and walls thatwill help keep you sane once youstart the actual cabinet installation.You want a line of cabinets tobe level both left to right andfront to back. You can achievethis with ease if the kitchen orbath floor is level. Precision workis required for concrete slabhouses to achieve this. Roughcarpenters must install floorjoists with minimal or no crown.The joists must all be the exactsame height.The kitchen or bath walls mustbe square and plumb. Squaringwalls is pretty simple using thetime-tested 3, 4, 5 triangle measurements. Plumbing the wallsrequires a high-quality level andstraightedge. The straightedgeshould just touch the top and bottom wall plate. Never use a levelon a wall stud, as it might have aslight crown. This hump can produce a false reading.I’ve maintained for years thatthe use of steel studs for interiorkitchen walls is an easy way toproduce plumb and flat walls thatmake cabinet installation child’splay. You can install wood blocking at the correct heights on theinside of the steel studs to giveyou the required strength to hangwall cabinets.If you’re forced to use regularwood studs for the walls, takeyour time and select ones that areperfectly straight with no crownsin them. A crowned stud has ahump in it when you look downthe length of the stud. Thesehumps will have you pulling yourhair out, if you have any, as youtry to align wall and base cabinets. Look for studs where youcan see the center dot of the treewhen it was a sapling. Thesestuds cut from the center of a treeare usually very straight and willnot warp over time.Common sense dictates hanging wall cabinets first. You don’twant to lean over base cabinetswhile holding a wall cabinet up.You don’t want to drop a wallcabinet onto a base cabinet orscratch the front of a base cabinetas you struggle with a wall cabinet.You’ll discover flat pieces of2-by-4 blocking will prevent youfrom having to hunt for wallstuds. You install this blocking inthe framing stage in between thewall studs at the correct heightwhere the top and bottom of thewall cabinets will be. The centerline of the blocking should matchup with the centerline of the topand bottom inner horizontal railsof the cabinet. Long screws passthrough these rails, holding thecabinet to the wall. Blocking forbase cabinets also speeds installation as you don’t have to huntfor the center of a wall stud.I prefer to remove cabinetdoors when I install them. I dothe same with interior adjustableshelves. I carefully store them inan adjacent room so they don’tget damaged. Removing thedoors and shelves reducesweight. You’ll discover it’s somuch easier to install clamps thathelp you achieve perfect alignment of the face frames of thecabinets.It goes without saying that Itake the time to paint the wallsand ceiling before I install cabinets. I also like to have the finished flooring extend under thecabinets. You need to exercisegreat care when working on finished flooring. I’ll often putdown thick cardboard on theflooring. Dropcloths can also beused, but they should be cleanand thick. Once again, use yourcommon sense to do whatever isnecessary to protect a finishedfloor.I can’t stress enough howimportant it is to make sure thatbase cabinets are level. This ismandatory should solid stonecountertops be in your future.The stone must not have any gapsunder it, nor should it teeter on ahigh spot. This can cause a stonetop to crack over time.Ask the Builder: Kitchen cabinet installation tipsIt’s a real estateroundtable whenMelissa RoachZievers and Shiela Hegjoin us on air todiscuss the most upto-date news in realestate.

June could be a huge opportunity month overall.TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Put things into motion for next week today if you can, it’s a much stronger day with much better odds than the weekdays next week. A friend could struggle with sketchy behavior sourced in low self-esteem.GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Bosses gotta boss, at least some of them, some of the time. Today you could see who wields power just for the sake of wielding it. Keep building yourself into the person you aspire to becoming.CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you look closely, you can see that those that never invest in themselves show it in bad behavior, fronting, trying to impress. Those that fill their own cup have nothing they need to prove.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A financial wrangle could really be about ego or envy. Make no moves until next Saturday or later, underwater stars don’t bring positive odds for positive outcomes. Hang out with good friends if you can.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A partner could get petty for a day or two, better not to react if it’s not an ongoing pattern. If it’s not a pattern, just blame the stars and move on. If today’s vibe is the norm, that’s something to look at.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t get down on yourself if simple tasks somehow aren’t simple today. Take a breath, take a break, even a few hours could improve the situation. Share what you know broadly, knowledge needs to circulate.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Dating if you’re single isn’t likely to bring any gems now, though if you are in personal Soulmate cycles you could still meet someone worthy. Schedule first meetups on positive-scoring Universal days.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your home space could be cluttered by difficult vibes for a day or two, if someone’s feeling less-than, it could trigger all kinds of behavior. Partnership could be on your mind.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Despite a nice Universal day score, today could be very poor for both thinking and communication, and Monday-Friday next week are underwater in the sky. Wait until next Saturday or later to say what needs to be said.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Lock your devices, hide your credit cards, today is a terrible day for you to make a major purchase. Facts could be buried, emotions could rule, ego could weigh in too. It’s extremely unlikely you’ll have the clarity to make a wise choice.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Do what you can to set up your home to be a charging station for your energy and even a sanctuary if possible. Even if there are kids, pets, and work from home to manage, try to break out a little corner for yourself.ACROSS1 Cronies5 Bird in the National Audubon Society logo10 Above, in Augsburg14 With 43-Down, “M*A*S*H” star15 Writer Mary who specializes in popular science16 Party with glow sticks17 Hatha to Ashtanga?19 Change the locks?20 “I said ENOUGH!”21 Insta, X, TikTok, etc., informally23 Runs smoothly25 Wilson of Heart26 TMZ subject29 Stuffed teddies that look like a green Jedi master?34 Anxious feeling36 Headlight part37 Toe bean locale38 Play things39 In flight41 Mother of Clytemnestra42 Storefront sign abbr.43 Java spot44 “Yeah, there is a resemblance there”46 Tex-Mex snack that improves the performance of an Alpine singer?49 Anaheim team, to fans50 Condition often treated with ERP51 Flower at the center of a financial bubble in the 1630s53 Marshy habitat57 Artificial surface sports injury61 “lol 2 funny”62 Dice toss style named after a “Hamlet” jester?64 Dollar alternative65 Moved stealthily66 __ Spunkmeyer cookies67 Chaotic situation68 Mournful verse69 Unit that might be edited or spliced72 CalmDOWN1 Is worth it2 Tons3 Italian lake4 Stir-fry ingredient5 Overthrow, e.g.6 Fall apart, as plans7 Operated8 Heart charts, for short9 James of “The White Lotus”10 Like Boo Boo and Smokey11 Slapstick prop12 Not good at all13 Gym count18 Gives the cold shoulder to22 Semi areas24 One-person project26 Like an easy job27 First calendario page28 “Bring it on!”30 Dict. entry31 Start to matter?32 Sirius business33 Whacks35 It’s right there on the map!40 NCAA champion swimmer Thomas41 Jump ahead of43 See 14-Across45 Dodge47 Mercedes luxury line48 Trip52 Like the number eight, in China53 “Kapow!”54 Icicle holder55 Big Board abbr.56 Woody of “Toy Story,” for one58 Reusable shopping bag59 Lena of “The Reader”60 “Anyone __?”63 Regrethoroscopein the stars061126Shout out to Denise for winning the races.
