An estimated 330,000 people make their tree selections after gazing at computer screens or paging through catalogs, the National Christmas Tree Association said. That's barely a blip on the holiday radar when compared with the 27.1 million real ChJistmas trees sold last year at chain stores, through nonprofit groups, from retail lots, harvested for a price from choose-and-cut farms or by permit from public lands. But mail order numbers are becoming statistically significant, said Rick Dungey, .a · spekesman for the associa-· twn in Chesterfield, Mo. "Better transportation and a more mobile population are seeing trees go to areas where they haven't gone before," DIUlgey said. "Convenience is ; a big factor, too." Consumers spent an average $42.60 per tree in 2004, generating some $1.15 billion in retail sales of fresh Christmas trees, the association said. That compares with an estim:Ued $791 million in 2003. Gregon, North Carolina, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan are the top tree producing states although Chnstmas tree farming is done in all 50 states. Real trees continue outSelling artificial trees by a ratio of 3-to-1, the association said. Nine million households reported buying an arti. ficial tree last year, down some 600,000 from 2003, the asi!OCiation said, adding· that the' best selling of the homegrown trees are balsam fir, Douglas fir, Fraser fir, nobl.e fir, Scotch pine, Virginia pine and white pine. actually prefer the bal. sam fir because !love the fragrance," said Nigel Manley, who manages the Rocks Christmas Tree Farm in Bethlehem, N.H. "It will last at least six weeks inside the house. Fraser firs, on the either hand, don't have the same aroma but they do have firmer branches. They can hold heayier ornaments." Manley started selling Christmas trees from a Web · site 12 years ago. The Internet part of the fann's business now accounts for about 15 percent of the total. Wreaths, g,U.Iands and other greenery make up another 35 percent. The rest is choose-and-cut on the Rocks Estate, .a property owned and operated by the Society for Protection of New Hampshire Forests which has 55,000 Christmas trees in the ground. Mail order trees usttally airive two or three days after being cut, cleaned and boxed. They haven' t been car-topped down a hi~hway at 70 mph or left pi led m a dark corner for days so they have some real staying power - as in not shedding needles or turning brown before it's time to take the ornaments down. · "All the surveys show that what people like most about a real tree is fragrance and freshness," Manley said. "What they don't like is the mess and inconvenience of getting it home. Especially people living in big cities like New York. Many urban dwellers are without vehicles." : ~rice is comparable to what :·r you'd find on a regular retail lot, said Hal Gimlin, who owns and operates Omni Farm at West Jefferso n, N.C. "What you pay for is the shipping," said Gimlin, who sends Fraser fir Christinas trees ·from hi s farm high in the Blue Ridge Mountains to customers as far away as Alaska. "We 're really picky about what we send by mail' order. When people pay an extra $20 or $30 for s hippin~ they, want the best tree ava1lable. And since . we're sending somebody a tree sight unseen, we offer a I00 percent guarantee. We get less than I percent complaints back. Some of. that ccimes from broken tops in shipping."

A.: Child support is calculated according to a formula written into state law. That formula combines the father's and mother's gross income. There are certain allowable deductions from each parent's gross income. These deductions include the sum of local income tax actually paid, any child or spousal support order for other children or former spouses, and the value of a federal dependency exemp-. tion for each dependent of his or her household (not including the dependents for whom child support has been ordered). For example, if you · are remarried·and have a child by your new ..marriage, $3200 (for the tax year 2005) will be deducted from your gross income before calculating child support of your earlier marriage. Additionally, if there is an order for spousal support, the annual sum of spousal support is deducted from the spousal support payor's gross income and added to the income of the · recipient. · The total of this adjusted !'ross income of both parents 1s then applied to a chart, which identifies the amount of support required to raise children in their parents' income category. The paying parent will pay his or her prorated share of that charted ·amount. For example, if Mom earns $ 10,000 per year, and Dad earns $30,000, the combined gross is $40,000. For one child, the charted amount is approximately $6,500 of child support per ~ear. If Dad is the parent paying support, he must pay $4,875 per year, or 75 percent of the charted amount, because . he earns 75 percent of the total c.ombined parental income. Q.: What about ?day care d h Ih . an eat msurance .

It IS this Iota! cost wh1ch IS divided between the parents on their relative share of earnings. . The court will typically order one or both parents to carry health coverage, if available at reasonable cost. If no affordable coverage is avai tab Ie, then parents will be ordered to share in some way the costs of health care. Uncovered medical costs are usually ordered to be ·paid in pro-rated shares of the parents' income, after the residential parent pays the first $ I 00 per year. Though federal tax law provides the dependency exemption to the custodial parent, state courts have the power to allocate the exemption to the non-custodial parent if it will those still in high school after result in a net tax savings that age 18.

Cranley made the remarks to the Hamilton County Democratic Executive Committee on Saturday mqrning at Wyoming High School, less than 48 hours after being sworn in for his new co unci I term.

But Caldwell's young group squandered the big 14point second quarter lead via turnovers; fouls and mental · mistakes. "We were ahead at one time 24- 11 and I thought we were playing very, very well," explained Caldwell. " Then I think we made three straight mistakes, which a young club is going to do ... you can't shoot yourself in the foot like that." Eastern led by double digits for more thim half of the second quarter. However, South Gallia lured · E;astern · into its patented up-anddown the floor running game 'and that played into the host's hands. "I'll give South Gallia a lot of credit, they played hard , they 're a very athletic club, but thi s is one we let slip away," Caldwell stated. "We were ahead, we had control, we started running and we knew that South Gallia loved to run. We just didn't play very smart tonight." Caldwell's club was up 3017 when South Gallia made its game-altering run. The Rebels outscored their guests 13-2 the remainder of the half and trailed 32-30 at intermission. . South Gallia scored five points out of the shoot in the third quarter to take the lead. The lead switched hands four more times in the period before the Rebels seized it for good at the 2:26 mark. The Rebels kept .the lead thanks to an outstanding night at the free throw line. South Gall.ia shot 41 fre e tosses and was good on 30 or those. Eastern. meshed 13-of23 attempts.

Councilman Ivan Powell asked Hart how many volun· teers the park board would need to keep the festivals going. Hart responded that he ·would need at least 12 more volunteers.
