Ferro claims self-defense in stabbing

Defense says controversial Stand Your Ground Law applies to Butler death

The murder trial of a man accused
if the fatal stabbing of Marques Butler
during Fantasy Fest in 2009 could be
over before its scheduled start on
Monday.
Circuit Judge David Audlin is considering a motion by attorneys representing Nicholas Christopher Ferro
that states Ferro’s actions qualify as
legal self-defense under Florida’s
controversial Stand Your Ground
Law, which states that people can

defend themselves,
with deadly force
if necessary, if they
believe they will be
injured by someone
else.
If granted, the
motion
would
Ferro
result in dismissal
of the second-degree murder charge
against the 24-year-old Hollywood
resident.
Under the Stand Your Ground Law,
enacted in 2005, a person only needs
to “reasonably believe” that killing
someone is necessary to stop him or
her from inflicting injury.
The judge must decide if Ferro was
legally defending himself from Butler
during the 4 a.m. fight in the 500
block of Caroline Street.
According to defense attorney Ed
O’Donnell of Miami, a group of Key
West residents jumped Jorge Averoff,
a friend of Ferro’s, after Averoff “flirted” with women who were with the
Key West group.
O’Donnell said Ferro intervened
to stop the group of men, including Butler, from stomping Averoff
to death when Butler struck Ferro.
Averoff has testified he feared for his
life in the attack.
“Marques Butler tried to attack
him from the front,” O’Donnell said.
“Nick pulls out a small pocket knife
with a blade just over 2 inches when
Butler came at him, and unfortunately Butler was hit in a bad place.
... If the wound, so small, had been
an eighth of an inch to either side,
we would be talking about a few
stitches.”

Beach eatery dustup
ends in man’s arrest
CITIZEN STAFF
KEY WEST — A man who
was reportedly shouting at
patrons and trying to fight
with employees and guests at
a Higgs Beach restaurant was
arrested Thursday night.
The 42-year-old man was
charged with misdemeanor
trespassing and disturbing the
peace.
Police were called to Salute!
On The Beach at 1000 Atlantic
Blvd. at 8:44 p.m. and arrived to
find several restaurant patrons
detaining the man, according
to a Key West police incident
report.
An employee reportedly told
the officer that the man walked
into the restaurant shouting
and trying to fight with guests.
A manager asked the man to
leave, but instead he said, “I’m
going to buy a drink at the bar,”
according to the report.
After being refused service,
the man reportedly said he was
going to fight a patron when an
employee and kitchen worker
both stood between the man
and the patron, the report
states.
The man tried to shove them
out of the way when other
patrons reportedly put the man
to the ground.
“They told me to come back
at 8:30 p.m. to fight, so I did,”
the man reportedly told the
officer. “What would you have
done?”
He was taken to the Monroe
County Detention Center on
Stock Island.

American Style magazine, a quarterly
publication showcasing art, artists and
creative living, has named Key West
one of the United States’ top 25 small
arts cities.
In its summer 2011 issue, the magazine reports results of its 14th annual
readers’ poll of America’s arts destinations in categories for large, mid-size
and small cities.
Key West ranked alongside other
small cities including Asheville, N.C.;
Santa Fe, N.M.; and Gloucester, Mass.
Key West has been included in the
magazine’s top small cities’ list more
than five times.
The feature on arts destinations is

dents made strides in science, yet in
grades eight and 11 could not muster a 50
percent average of “proficient” in the subject, stalling at 46 percent and 40 percent,
respectively.
Fifty-one percent of Florida’s fifth-graders scored proficient and above in science, while 71 percent of 10th graders
scored proficient and higher in math.
“I’m very encouraged by the continued progress we are seeing in science,
but the overall performance of our students is still far too low,” State Education
Commissioner Eric Smith said in a statement Monday.
Third-graders who do poorly on the
FCAT 2.0 are not immediately subjected
to retention, said Burke, and can take
summer classes to meet the standard. By
grade 10, students must pass the FCAT to
graduate.
“We have many more students that will
not graduate because of a lack of credits
than because of FCAT,” said Burke.
Six schools in Monroe County raised
their test scores over last year’s results
when it came to students showing a proficiency in reading: Sugarloaf School had
the highest gain in the district with a 26
percent increase. Other schools with higher reading scores were Sigsbee Charter,
Stanley Switlik, Gerald Adams, Plantation
Key, Treasure Village Montessori, and Big
Pine Academy.
Students at Sugarloaf, Gerald Adams,
Plantation Key, and Treasure Village
Montessori also showed increases in proficiency levels in math.
Schools that earned proficiency levels at or above the district average in
both reading and math were Montessori
Elementary Charter (Key West), Treasure
Village Montessori, Big Pine Academy,
Plantation Key, Sugarloaf, and Stanley
Switlik.
Burke’s office lauded Big Pine Academy,
where 100 percent of third-grade students
showed proficiency in both reading and
math. Of course, the charter school’s third
grade numbered only 15 students in 2011,
and its charter limits the class size to 18.
Big Pine’s staff monitors students
throughout the year and keeps tabs
on anyone in need of extra help, said
Principal Cathy Hoffman.
“We provide intervention and a lot of
support,” Hoffman said. “We don’t want
to have anybody retained.”
Hoffman’s office shares a wall with the
third-grade classroom. When the children
were told their 100 percent results a week
ago, Hoffman heard a boisterous reaction
that drew her to the classroom.
“They were cheering,” she said. “They
were so proud.”

Whoever is on the losing side of the judge’s ruling
most likely will appeal to the
3rd District Court of Appeal,
according to attorneys on
both sides.
“We suspect the judge will
issue his ruling either Thursday
or Friday of this week,” said
Ed Griffith, a spokesman for
the Miami-Dade County State
Attorney’s Office.
Miami-Dade prosecutors
were assigned to the case
in November 2009 by thenGov. Charlie Crist due to a
potential conflict of interest with the Monroe County
State Attorney’s Office. Three
women who work in the Keys
prosecutor’s office either knew
Butler or know witnesses in
the case.
The trial is scheduled to
start Monday, but that now
appears unlikely.
O’Donnell said he is not
concerned about the timing
of his motion.
“We’ve always known
we were going to file this
motion, we just had to complete the discovery process
first,” O’Donnell said.
Ferro initially denied his
involvement in the incident, according to jailhouse phone conversations
taped by law enforcement.
Other witnesses, however,
told police it appeared that
Ferro’s group was attacked
by the Key West group,
according to court documents.
“I didn’t touch anybody,”
Ferro was heard saying on
one tape. In another, he is
heard saying he was in the
“wrong place at the wrong
time.”
Ferro is being held without bail in the Monroe
County Detention Center
on Stock Island.

Scores
Not dramatic, but good.”
All Florida public school students in
grades 3-11 took the FCAT 2.0 test for this
first time this year, with only third-graders facing being held back if they failed
to score at level 2 or higher in the reading
component.
The Monroe County School District’s
third-graders beat the state average by
6 percent in reading and by 3 percent in
math, said Burke.
While the FCAT 2.0 is designed to determine a student’s proficiency in reading
and mathematics, the material isn’t new
to the classrooms: The questions come
from the state’s recently updated curriculum, “Next Generation Sunshine State
Standards.”
This year, Florida’s statewide testing
began a transition from the FCAT to the
new FCAT 2.0 and the Florida End-ofCourse (EOC) Assessments. This year’s
FCAT test gauged reading in grades three
through 10 and math in grades three
through eight.
The transition will be completed when
the FCAT 2.0 science assessment tests are
given in 2012 to grades five and eight.

TODD GERMAN
Germany’s green course
serves as good example
W
hen the world’s
fourth-largest
economy decides to
stop using nuclear power, the
rest of the industrialized world
should take notice. Germany,
the world’s fourth-largest user
of nuclear power, has decided
to phase out its 17 nuclear
power plants by 2022. The
move came after the tsunamidamaged Fukushima nuclear
plant in Japan teetered precariously close to a meltdown.
U.S. ambivalence about its
energy future and shameful
lack of a strong policy may
actually be an asset, as elected
officials are able to watch and
learn from Germany’s move
toward renewable sources
of energy such as hydro,
solar, wind and biomass.
Switzerland says it will join
Germany in being nuke-free
by 2034. Japan, following
the Fukushima incident, has
dropped its goal of supplying
half of its electricity through
nuclear power.
But Germany may provide
a singular case study for the
U.S. and other nations. Even
before the Fukushima plant’s
problems, Germany was taking
decisive steps toward renewable energy sources. In 1997,
it and other European Union
nations aimed to have 12
percent of their electric needs
supplied by renewable sources
by 2010. Last year, 17 percent
of Germany’s power came
from sources such as wind and
biomass.
Those supporting expanding nuclear power in the U.S.
often cite the prevalence of
such plants in Europe. Of the
440 active nuclear plants, 197
are in Europe providing about
35 percent of the continent’s
power. Belgium, the Czech
Republic, Finland, Hungary,
Holland, Spain, Sweden and
the UK are among the nations
relying on nuclear power.
Yet Austria, Denmark,
Greece, Ireland, Italy, Poland,
Portugal and several other
European nations do not use
any nuclear power. Some
Editorial
moved away from nuclear
power after the Chernobyl
disaster.
France continues to maintain its commitment to nuclear power, with 58 plants providing 76 percent of its electricity. And in the emerging
Asian powerhouses of China
and India, nuclear power is
expected to fuel the burgeoning demand for electricity.
Germany is an industrial nation with the largest
economy in Europe. It is not
likely to abandon nuclear
power in favor of sources with
a suspect future. This is why
the U.S. policy-makers should
pay attention to the practical applications of alternative
electricity sources.
How big a part can wind
power play in a nation’s energy
portfolio? Does tidal power
have great potential in Maine?
Solar?
And what about hydro
power, which these days is
largely understood as static,
with few new dams likely to
come online? New dams are
unlikely, but existing dams
may provide an untapped
potential. The city of Belfast,
(Maine) is pondering a purchase of several dams on the
Goose River that connects
Swanville’s Swan Lake to
Penobscot Bay. Under a component of Maine utility law,
the electricity produced by
those turbines can be traded
with Central Maine Power on a
one-to-one basis for the electricity the city buys to power
its wastewater treatment plant.
Of course, Germany — and
the U.S., if it seeks to emulate
its approach — will continue
to use natural gas and other
fossil fuels to make electricity. But for every kilowatt
produced through renewable
sources, the air is cleaner and
more energy dollars (or Euros)
remain at home.

just like a horse race, and the
same variables come into play

The campaigning, if not the
multibillion-dollar industry
behind it, is public and visible
— and the media is on stage
with the players, effectively
handicapping and calling
the odds. Journalists serve as
moderators of presidential
debates.
But while the media role

powerful political consultants
using increasingly costly, complex and analytical campaign
strategies, with money, of
course, a key factor.

a bundled frenzy of spending, hollow and repetitive
sloganeering and contrivances

We could, and should, better control campaign spending, shorten the cycle and
do away with a process that
gives ridiculous influence to a

Hampshire and Iowa.
But, regardless of the prospects for reform, or the lack
thereof, I’m gone. I find myself
unable to stomach, let alone
be informed by, campaigns
that can effectively last for 18
months or more.
We have been questioning the length of elections for
more than 50 years. In 1960,
Time Magazine asked, “Is the
presidential campaign too
long?” It noted that “the public actually gains little enlightenment from prolonged campaigning.”
The length of campaigns at
the time? Something like nine
months.
Well, it’s all caught up with
me. I’ll vote. I’ll follow the
issues, and I’ll remain interested in current affairs. I’ll
even feel compelled to write
about them.
But as the contenders jockey for advantage in an election
to be held late next year, I’ll be
tuning out. It is just too much.
And if it is, finally, all too
much for me, I can’t help but
believe it is also overwhelming, counterproductive and
unappealing for many other
Americans.

Vouchercare is not Medicare — and it’s not demagoguery to say so
BY PAUL KRUGMAN
The New York Times
W
hat’s in a name? A
lot, the National
Republican
Congressional Committee
obviously believes. Last week,
the committee sent a letter
demanding that a TV station
stop running an ad declaring
that the House Republican
budget plan would “end
Medicare.” This, the letter
insisted, was a false claim: the
plan would simply install a
“new, sustainable version of
Medicare.”
But Comcast, the station’s
owner, rejected the demand —
and rightly so. For Republicans
are indeed seeking to dismantle Medicare as we know it,
replacing it with a much worse
program.
I’m seeing many attempts
to shout down anyone making
this obvious point, and not just
from Republican politicians.
For some reason, many commentators seem to believe that
accurately describing what the GOP is
actually proposing
amounts to demagoguery. But there’s
nothing demagogic
about telling the
truth.
Start with the claim
that the GOP plan
simply reforms Medicare rather than ending it. I’ll just quote
the blogger Duncan Black,
who summarizes this as saying that “when we replace the
Marines with a pizza, we’ll call
the pizza the Marines.” The
point is that you can name the
new program Medicare, but it’s
an entirely different program
— call it Vouchercare — that
would offer nothing like the
coverage that the elderly now
receive. (Republicans get huffy
when you call their plan a
voucher scheme, but that’s
exactly what it is.)
Medicare is a government-run insurance system
that directly pays health-care
providers. Vouchercare would
cut checks to insurance companies
instead. Specifically,
the program would
pay a fixed amount
toward private health
insurance — higher
for the poor, lower
for the rich, but not
varying at all with
the actual level of premiums.
If you couldn’t afford a policy
adequate for your needs, even
with the voucher, that would
be your problem.
And most seniors wouldn’t
be able to afford adequate
coverage. A Congressional
Budget Office analysis found
that to get coverage equivalent
to what they have now, older
Americans would have to
pay vastly more out of pocket
under the Paul Ryan plan than
they would if Medicare as we
know it was preserved. Based
on the budget office estimates,
the typical senior would end
up paying around $6,000 more
out of pocket in the plan’s first
year of operation.
By the way, defenders of
the GOP plan often assert
that it resembles other, less
unpopular programs. For a
while they claimed, falsely,
that Vouchercare would be
just like the coverage federal
employees get. More recently,
I’ve been seeing claims that
Vouchercare would be just
like the system created for
Americans under 65 by last
year’s health care reform — a
fairly remarkable defense from
a party that has denounced
that reform as evil incarnate.
So let me make two points.
First, Obamacare was very
much a second-best plan,
conditioned by perceived
political realities. Most of the
health reformers I know would
have greatly preferred simply
expanding Medicare to cover
all Americans. Second, the
Affordable Care Act is all about
making health care, well,
affordable, offering subsidies
whose size is determined by
the need to limit the share
of their income that fami-
lies spend on medical costs.
Vouchercare, by contrast,
would simply hand out vouchers of a fixed size, regardless of
the actual cost of insurance.
And these vouchers would be
grossly inadequate.
But what about the claim
that none of this matters,
because Medicare as we know
it is unsustainable? Nonsense.
Yes, Medicare has to get serious about cost control; it has
to start saying no to expensive
procedures with little or no
medical benefits, it has to
change the way it pays doctors
and hospitals, and so on. And
a number of reforms of that
kind are, in fact, included in
the Affordable Care Act. But
with these changes it should
be entirely possible to maintain a system that provides all
older Americans with guaranteed essential health care.
Consider Canada, which
has a national health insurance program, actually called
Medicare, that is similar to the
program we have for the elder-
ly, but less open-ended and
more cost-conscious. In 1970,
Canada and the United States
both spent about 7 percent of
their GDP on health care. Since
then, as U.S. health spending
has soared to 16 percent of
GDP, Canadian spending has
risen much more modestly, to
only 10.5 percent of GDP. And
while Canadian health care
isn’t perfect, it’s not bad.
Canadian Medicare, then,
looks sustainable; why can’t we
do the same thing here? Well,
you know the answer in the
case of the Republicans: They
don’t want to make Medicare
sustainable, they want to
destroy it under the guise of
saving it.
So in voting for the House
budget plan, Republicans
voted to end Medicare. Saying
that isn’t demagoguery, it’s just
pointing out the truth.

Gov. on mission to Canada
Cuban documents for a price
Homeless activists arrested
Gov. Rick Scott is on a weeklong
trade mission in Canada as part of his
efforts to attract new business and jobs
to Florida.
Scott left Monday with a delegation
of Florida business and community
leaders.
Gray Swoope, president of the state’s
public-private economic development
agency, Enterprise Florida, also is on
the trip to Montreal and Toronto.
This is Scott’s second trade mission
since the former corporate CEO took
office in January. He went in March to
Panama.
Scott says it makes sense to visit
Canada since that country is Florida’s
top economic partner counting trade,
investment and tourism.
Getting official documents out of Cuba
isn’t easy, but a new industry of researchers
is stepping in to help exiles and other Cuban
immigrants retrieve birth certificates, death
records and other important papers.
The cost can be steep. One website called
cubacityhall.com charges nearly $500 for
a certified document. Owner Rob Sequin
believes enough people will pay because
obtaining official documents from Cuba is
so complicated and time consuming, it can
take years.
Others charge less but don’t promise certification. Cubagenweb.org finds church
documents for about $100.
The sites come as more Cubans seek
Spanish citizenship. Spain now allows the
grandchildren of its exiles, many of whom
went to Cuba, to claim citizenship.
Four more activists have been arrested for feeding pancakes and doughnuts
to the homeless in downtown Orlando.
Police officers handcuffed the activists and loaded them into a police van
Monday just after they had distributed
food to about 30 homeless people in
defiance of a city ordinance.
The Orlando ordinance requires
groups to get a permit to feed 25 or more
people in parks in a downtown district.
The rules also restrict the groups to two
permits per year for each park.
The law was passed in 2006, but
Orlando Food Not Bombs challenged it
in court. In April, a federal appeals court
in Atlanta ruled that the Orlando law
was legal. Last week, four other activists
were also arrested for violating the law.

copies of all Village Council

owners.
Auditors also requested copies of employment contracts
for Koconis and former Village
Manager Ken Fields, an indication that they might look into
the propriety of last year’s controversial $160,000 buyout of
Fields’ contract.
They’ve also asked for
documents related to the
selection process of the firm
that conducted the 200910 Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report (CAFR) audit
of the village. That request
suggests that auditors plan to

was a lie.”
St. John discovered “that

After poring through hundreds of documents, being
denied interviews and cultivating anonymous sources within

Ted Sauerbeck
Deputy Auditor General
report on its audit findings
at a Village Council meeting
Thursday.
A written report, released
May 13, says the village’s financial statements for the 2009-10
fiscal year “present fairly, in all
material aspects,” the town’s
financial position.
While one procedural error
was found relating to the village’s management and valuation of capital assets, such as
buildings, furniture and equipment, a policy put in place last
year already has led to the issue
being corrected.
Auditors also performed
tests on the village’s compliance with various accounting regulations, contracts and
grant agreements, but didn’t
opine in the report on whether
compliance was obtained.
Records show that at the
conclusion of the fiscal year
last September, the village
had $83.5 million in assets
versus $27.4 million in liabilities. Reserves in the village’s
daily operating fund were
$2.3 million — 24 percent of
total daily operating expenditures for the year. Debt service
for the year was $900,000, or
6.09 percent of total expenditures. That number compares
favorably with similar-sized
Florida cities, where the average debt service is 9.45 percent
of total expenditures, Lawson
said, referring to figures she
obtained from Florida Auditor
General’s Office spreadsheets.
Though budgets have been
tight in recent years as tax revenues have declined, Lawson
says the village’s financial
report shows that it is still on
firm financial footing.
“The bigger picture, at least
in my mind, is that everybody
has been in a crunch because
property values are down, but
we’ve managed that crunch,”
she said.
While the CAFR audit focuses
mainly on the numbers themselves, and whether the village
reported them accurately, the

state operational audit will
be more encompassing. It
could delve into matters such
as bidding procedures, how
the village transfers monies
between various funds and
the appropriateness of certain types of expenditures.
Aside from confirming
that the auditors’ nine-point
list of document requests
provides clues, Sauerbeck
declined to comment specifically on what the audit
team plans to focus. But he
said the scope is likely to
evolve once the examination
begins.
“We are going to make sure
they are handling their operations in accordance with
the law, in accordance with
their own policies and procedures and in accordance
with internal controls,” he
said.
The state is examining
the village in response to a
Florida law that allows citizens to petition for just such
an audit. Twenty percent of
village voters signed a petition circulated by Lower
Matecumbe Key residents
Sue and Jay Miller late last
year, the threshold level that
makes a state audit mandatory.

Couple threatens bank
in wrongful foreclosure
BY TAMARA LUSH
Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG — Months
after Bank of America wrongly
foreclosed on a house Warren
and Maureen Nyerges had
already paid for, they were still
fighting to get reimbursed for
the court battle.
So on Friday, their attorney
showed up at a branch office
in Naples with a moving truck
and sheriff’s deputies who had
a judge’s permission to seize
the furniture if necessary. An
hour later, the bank had written a check for $5,772.88.
“The branch manager was
visibly shaken,” attorney Todd
Allen said Monday, recalling
the visit to the bank last week.
“At that point I was willing to
take the desk and the chair he
was sitting in.”
After the moving company
and sheriff’s deputies get their
share, the Nyerges should
receive the rest of the money
this week, ending a bizarre saga
that started when they paid
Bank of America $165,000 cash
for a 2,700-square-foot foreclosed home in Naples in 2009.
About four months later,
a process server knocked on
their door and handed Warren
Nyerges a notice of foreclosure.
“This is a big mistake,” he
recalled saying. “You must have
the wrong house. We bought
a foreclosure and don’t have a
mortgage.”
That started 18 months of
frustrating phone calls, paperwork and court hearings.
Whenever Nyerges called the
bank, representatives told him
to “come up to date” with his
payments. When he called 25
different law firms, no attorney would take the case. When
he went to court, the lawyers
for the bank filed incorrect
motions and were woefully
unprepared for the hearings.
“It was mind boggling,” said
Nyerges, a 46-year-old retired
police officer. “To try to unscrew
the screw up, it’s not as easy as
it sounds.”
Eventually the Nyerges found
Allen. They fought the foreclosure and won, proving that they
owned the home outright.
During his research, Nyerges
heard that his name got transposed from purchase agreements onto the prior foreclosure. In September 2010, a
Collier county judge ordered
Bank of America to pay the couple’s $2,534 attorney fees. But
by last week, the bank hadn’t
paid up, so Allen got a judge’s
permission to seize assets.
In an email to the Associated
Press on Monday, Bank of
America
spokeswoman
Jumana Bauwens apologized
to the couple about the “delay
in receiving the funds.”
The law office of David
J. Stern, which handled the
Nyerges’ case for Bank of
America, told judges across
Florida in March that it will
end its involvement in 100,000
foreclosure cases.
The Florida attorney general’s economic crimes division
is investigating three law firms,
including Stern’s, over allegations that they created fraudulent legal documents, gouged
homeowners with inflated fees,
steered business to companies
they owned and filed foreclosures without proving the bank
actually had legal interest in
the loans.

WASHINGTON — Five
Democratic senators are calling on Vice President Joe Biden
to reaffirm his commitment to
leaving Medicare unchanged
during budget and deficit negotiations. Sens. Claire McCaskill,
of Missouri, Jon Tester, of
Montana, Sherrod Brown, of
Ohio, Ben Cardin of Maryland
and Bill Nelson of Florida
express their concerns in a letter sent Monday to Biden.
They note Biden has made
progress in negotiations and
say that as talks move to areas
with less consensus the vice
president must insist that significant changes to Medicare
are off the table.
All five senators, from states
with high elderly populations,
are up for reelection in 2012.

Billboard exposed abortion
Former manager at ACU pleads
Weiner admits to lewd picture
A U.S. man’s decision to lash out with
a billboard ad saying his ex-girlfriend
had an abortion against his wishes has
touched off a court battle over free
speech and privacy rights.
The sign on Alamogordo’s main thoroughfare shows the 35-year-old man
holding the outline of an infant. The
text reads, “This Would Have Been A
Picture Of My 2-Month Old Baby If The
Mother Has Decided To Not KILL Our
Child!”
The man’s ex-girlfriend has taken
him to court for harassment and violation of privacy. A domestic court official has recommended the billboard
be removed. But the man’s attorney
argues the order violates his client’s free
speech rights.
The former administrative director at one
of the nation’s most prominent conservative
organizations has pleaded guilty to embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars from
the group.
Diana Carr had kept the books at the
Alexandria-based American Conservative
Union. On Monday she pleaded to a count
of mail fraud in federal court in Alexandria.
She is the ex-wife of David Keene, who
until this year had been the ACU’s longtime chairman. He is now National Rifle
Association president.
Court documents say she took $120,000 to
$400,000 over a period of several years.
The ACU is probably best known for hosting an annual conference called CPAC that
regularly draws leading presidential candidates and other top conservative speakers.
After days of denials, a choked-up
New York Democratic Rep. Anthony
Weiner confessed Monday that he
tweeted a photo of his bulging underpants to a woman and admitted to
“inappropriate” exchanges with six
women before and after getting married. He apologized for lying but said he
would not resign.
Weiner said at a news conference that
he had never personally met any of the
women he corresponded with online
and sometimes via telephone, and was
not even sure of their ages. He also said
he had never had sex outside of his
marriage.
“This was me doing a dumb thing,
and doing it repeatedly, and lying about
it,” he said.

Santorum enters White House race warning of Obama
SOMERSET, Pa. — Former
Pennsylvania
Sen.
Rick
Santorum, a blunt talker who
is popular among social conservatives, plunged into the
2012 Republican presidential
sweepstakes Monday, saying
he wants to protect American
freedoms under threat from
President Barack Obama.
Once the No. 3 Republican
in the ranks of the Senate GOP
leadership, Santorum charged
that Obama has worked to
undermine Americans’ liberties and has imposed a national health care plan that saps
individual choice. He accused
Obama of spending billions of
dollars that will add to the debt
of future generations and said
the president lacks faith in the
nation’s potential.
“I’m ready to lead. I’m ready
to do what has to be done for
the next generation, with the
courage to fight for freedom,
with the courage to fight for
America,” Santorum said,
speaking the sun-splashed
steps of a county courthouse in
western Pennsylvania. “That’s
why I’m announcing today that
I’m running for president of the
United States of America.”
Santorum, who enjoys strong
support from the anti-abortion
rights bloc in the Republican
Party, nodded to the social
conservatives who have huge
sway in early nominating states
of Iowa and South Carolina.
He also pitched himself to tea
party-style activists who have
yet to jell around a single candidate.
“The principal purpose of
America was to make sure each
and every person was free.
Ladies and gentlemen, that is
at stake now,” Santorum said,
pointing to a Democraticpushed health care law that
conservatives loathe.
“Every single American will
be hooked to the government
with an IV,” Santorum said.
“They want to hook you.
They don’t want to free you.
They don’t want to give you
opportunity. They don’t believe
in you. ... This president does
not trust you to make a decision on your health care plan.”
He also said that Democratic
spending has put the country on a dangerous path, and
Santorum blamed Obama for
an economy that collapsed in
2008 before he won election.
“If you look at the record of
spending under this president,
sure he came in with a problem
.... but he kept digging and digging,” Santorum said.
In an announcement speech
near the coal fields where his
immigrant grandfather toiled,
Santorum praised the nation’s
founding fathers and said the
nation needs to return to the
potential that lured his grandfather from Italy in 1927.
“If they work hard, they can
succeed. That’s the America
my grandfather came to. That’s
the America my dad lived in,”
Santorum said. “That’s the
America we need again today.”

US citizen stuck in Kuwait
can now leave the country
BY MATTHEW BARAKAT
McLEAN, Va. — A naturalized
U.S. citizen stuck in Kuwait for
months said Monday that he
will finally be able to leave the
country after the U.S. Embassy
reversed course and returned
his confiscated passport.
Aziz Nouhaili, 47, had been
unable to leave since February,
when Nouhaili took the passport to the embassy for a routine
request to have pages added to
the booklet, which was full. But
embassy officials confiscated
the passport, told him he should
no longer think of himself as a
citizen and that his naturalization may be revoked.
The situation apparently
stemmed from a decades-old
passport problem Nouhaili had
before becoming a citizen.
Last week, Nouhaili’s lawyer
at the Council on AmericanIslamic Relations wrote to
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
requesting the passport’s return
and accusing embassy bureaucrats of abusing Nouhaili’s fundamental rights as a citizen. An
Associated Press article about
Nouhaili’s situation generated
stories across the world, including the front page of the Arab
Times, a widely read Englishlanguage paper in Kuwait.
Three days later, Nouhaili
received an email informing him he could pick up his
passport. No explanation was
offered for the delay.
Nouhaili picked up the document Monday and made immediate plans to join his wife and
daughter in Tunisia, where they
were staying with family.
“I am very relieved,” Nouhaili
said Monday in a telephone
interview after retrieving his

passport. He was overwhelmed,
he said, by the support he
received from people who read
his story. “I had people who
were saying prayers for me
from six different religions.”
Nouhaili, who became a U.S.
citizen in 1999 and previously
lived in New York and Eugene,
Ore., had worked for several
years in Kuwait as a government contractor. When the
contract ended, he planned to
return to the U.S. and start a
new job in Las Vegas.
WASHINGTON — More
than a million U.S. troops —
roughly half the armed forces — have been trained on
the new law allowing gays to
serve openly in the military,
and so far there has been
none of the turmoil or dire
consequences predicted by
opponents of what had been
expected to be a wrenching
change in military culture.
There’s been no widespread resistance, no mad
rush for the door by enlisted members opposed to
the policy and no drop in
recruiting.
“So far this seems to be
a non-event,” Gen. Peter
Chiarelli, vice chief of staff
for the Army, told reporters
recently. But, he warned,
“This is not going to happen
without incident — I’d be crazy
to say that. Somewhere along
the line something is going to
occur. But we’re doing everything we can to head that off in
training.”
In the debate over the change,
opponents predicted that
repealing the 17-year-old ban
on openly gay service members would roil the nation’s
armed forces and undermine
fighting ability. And, as the law
passed Congress late last year
and President Barack Obama
signed it, Pentagon leaders said
they would carefully assess the
impact of the change on military readiness before they certified to the president that it
could be implemented.
So far, military officials have
told Pentagon leaders that they
have seen no adverse impact on
the force. And while there have
been plenty of questions from
the troops — including pointed
queries to Defense Secretary
Robert Gates — defense officials say they have seen nothing yet that would block the
eventual implementation of
the law.
The military, officials say, has
gotten the message, is taking
the training, saluting and moving on.
The Pentagon, in fact, has
largely refused to provide
details or data on the training,
nervous that widespread publicity could inflame the issue,
put more pressure on the force
or taint the process.
“We have seen no insurmountable issues,” Navy
Secretary Ray Mabus said in an
interview with The Associated
Press.

Rocket barrage kills 5 soldiers
Greek PM hints at referendum
First case of E. coli reported
Five American soldiers died Monday
when a barrage of rockets slammed into a
base in a Shiite neighborhood of Baghdad
— the largest, single-day loss of life for U.S.
forces in Iraq in two years.
The attack follows warnings from Shiite
militants backed by Iran and anti-American
cleric Muqtada al-Sadr that they would violently resist any effort to keep American
troops in Iraq past their year-end deadline
to go home.
Although American casualties have
dropped considerably in the two years
since U.S. troops pulled back from Iraq
cities, Shiite militias have begun hammering U.S. bases and vehicles with rockets,
rocket-propelled grenades and roadside
bombs over the past three months.
Greece’s prime minister said Monday

An Ontario man has Canada’s first
suspected case of E. coli linked to the
outbreak in Europe.
The Ontario Ministry of Health and
Long-Term Care said Monday the man
travelled to Germany this spring where
he consumed local salad products.
Ontario’s chief medical officer of
health, Dr. Arlene King, says initial testing has confirmed the presence of toxin
compatible with the current E. coli outbreak in Europe.
The ministry says the man has been
released from hospital and is undergoing further evaluation. King adds the
ministry is closely monitoring the situation in Europe, where 22 people have
died and more than 2,300 been sickened.

Attack kills 120 Syrian forces
BY ZEINA KARAM
BEIRUT — Armed men killed
120 Syrian security forces and
torched government buildings
Monday in a northern region
where troops have unleashed
deadly assaults on protesters
for days, Syria said. The government vowed to respond
“decisively,” hinting at an even
more brutal crackdown by a
regime known for ruthlessly
crushing dissent.
If confirmed, the attack in
the north would be a turning point in what so far has
largely been a peaceful uprising threatening the 40-year
rule of President Bashar Assad
and his family.
Opposition activists were
skeptical of the official casualty toll, saying the authorities
were setting the stage for a
new onslaught. But even they
acknowledged there was fighting, although it was not clear
who was involved. The government described the attackers
as “armed gangs,” a phrase it
often uses to describe the protesters.
Communications were cut
to the area around Jisr alShughour on Monday and
the details of the attack were
impossible to verify, but there
have been unconfirmed reports
by activists and residents in
the past of Syrians and even
mutinous troops fighting back
against security forces.
Adnan Mahmoud, the chief
government
spokesman,
acknowledged that Syrian
forces had lost control of some
areas for “intermittent periods
of time” and said residents had
appealed to the army to do
what was necessary to restore
security.
“We will deal strongly and
decisively, and according to the
law, and we will not be silent
about any armed attack that
targets the security of the state
and its citizens,” said Interior
Minister Ibrahim Shaar.
The surprisingly high
death toll among pro-regime
troops would suggest some
sort of major lashback against
the crackdown against the
uprising — though by whom
was unknown because of the
seal over the area. Regardless
of who carried out Monday’s
attack, it shows new cracks
in a rule that has held out
through weekly protests of
thousands of people.
Human rights activist Mustafa Osso said there
were unconfirmed reports of
a few soldiers who switched
sides and were defending
themselves against attacking security forces, but he
said the reports suggest the
mutiny is limited and “does
not pose a threat to the unity
of the army yet.”
“The protesters have so far
been peaceful and unarmed,”
said Osso.

UN chief says will seek a second term
BY EDITH M. LEDERER
UNITED
NATIONS
—
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
announced Monday that he will
seek a second term as head
of the United Nations, pledging to keep leading the world
body as a “bridge-builder” at a
time of unprecedented global
change. His re-election is virtually assured.
The former South Korean
foreign minister finally made
public what has been the
U.N.’s worst kept secret — that
he wants a second term — at
a news conference to discuss
his recent trips to Europe and
Africa. In his virtually non-stop
travels around the globe, he has
been quietly lobbying world
leaders for support.
Ban said he had sent letters to
the 15-member Security Council
and 192-member General
Assembly “humbly” offering
himself for consideration for a
second five-year term. His current term ends Dec. 31.
Though he insisted he takes
nothing for granted, Ban has

no opponents and diplomats
say he has the backing of the
five veto-wielding members
of the Security Council — the
U.S., China, Russia, France and
Britain — who must recommend him. He likely has support from the entire General
Assembly, which will probably
elect him by acclamation later
this month.
The Security Council met
privately Monday afternoon to
discuss how to proceed. In the

Chilean volcano erupts
BY EVA VERGARA
SANTIAGO, Chile — An
erupting Chilean volcano sent
a towering plume of ash across
South America on Monday,
forcing thousands from their
homes, grounding airline
flights in southern Argentina
and coating ski resorts with
a gritty layer of dust instead
of snow. Booming explosions
echoed across the Andes as
toxic gases belched up from a
three-mile-long fissure in the
Puyehue-Cordon Caulle volcanic complex — a ridge between
two craters just west of the
Chilean-Argentine border that
began erupting Saturday.
Winds blew a six-mile-high
cloud of ash all the way to the
Atlantic Ocean and even into
southern Buenos Aires province, hundreds of miles to the
northeast.
Authorities in Chile went
door to door, trying to persuade
stragglers near the volcano to
leave because of an increasing
danger of toxic gas and flash
floods. By Monday, about 4,000
people had been evacuated from
more than 22 communities.
They began fleeing as swarms
of earthquakes Saturday heralded the eruption and hundreds
more fled Monday to shelters
farther away.
candidate for the U.N.’s top
job.
Ban won immediate
endorsement for his candidacy at a breakfast Monday with
the 53-member Asian Group.
He said he plans to meet
with the U.N.’s other regional
groups, from Africa, Latin
America and the Caribbean,
Eastern Europe, and mainly
Western nations, in the next
two days to discuss his candidacy.
French Foreign Minister
Alain Juppe quickly welcomed Ban’s announcement.
“He has shown courage and
determination during a time
of crisis,” Juppe said in a statement. “We have no doubt that
he will show those same qualities during a second term at
the head of the U.N.”
China’s U.N. Ambassador Li
Baodong said the Asian Group
supports Ban because he has
led the U.N. though “stormy
weather and troubled water”
and enabled the organization
to play a “more important
role” in peace, development
and international affairs.
CAIRO — Crowds of Egyptians
dressed in black held demonstrations Monday to honor a
young man from Alexandria
beaten to death a year ago in a
savage attack blamed on police
that helped inspire the uprising that brought down Egypt’s
president.
Photographs of Khaled Said’s
badly disfigured and bloodied
face were posted on the Internet
and became an instant rallying point for campaigners trying to bring attention to rampant police brutality under the
regime of Hosni Mubarak.
A Facebook page in his honor
called “We are all Khaled Said”
was used months later to call
for the protests that toppled
Mubarak on Feb. 11.
On Monday’s anniversary
of his death, crowds held protests in Cairo and Alexandria
to remember him and draw
attention to continued abuses
by Egyptian police.
In Cairo, about 300 activists
demonstrated in front of the
Interior Ministry, spray-painting pictures of Said’s face onto a
wall of the building and around
its entrance. They raised banners reading “Enough police
abuse” and calling for the trial
of those who killed protesters in
Egypt’s uprising.
Some chanted, “Is Mubarak
still ruling or what?” and “We
are all Khaled Said.”
Around 100 others in black
help pictures of Said on one
of the main bridges across the
Nile, passing out leaflets calling for a large protest Monday
against police abuse.
A year later, Said’s death continues to stir anger, especially
since the policemen accused of
killing him are still on trial. The
court is set to issue its verdict at
the end of this month.
The trial of police agents
Mahmoud Salah and Awad
Ismail Suleiman was postponed
repeatedly after Mubarak’s ouster because court officials said it
would be difficult to secure the
proceedings.
The circumstances of Said’s
slaying — witnesses say two
plainclothes officers dragged
him from an Internet cafe and
beat him to death on the street
— resonated with many young
Egyptians. Security forces and
forensics reports initially maintained Said suffocated by swallowing a packet of drugs when
he was approached — a claim
met with derision after the photos were circulated showing his
body covered with bruises, his
teeth broken and jaw smashed.

OAKLAND, Calif. — The Golden State
Warriors have hired television analyst Mark

The team announced the decision to have
Jackson replace Keith Smart on Monday.
The 46-year-old Jackson has no coaching

ABC and ESPN’s NBA coverage in recent seasons. Jackson will begin his duties when the
NBA finals end.
Jackson played 17 years in the NBA for New
York, the Clippers, Indiana, Denver, Toronto,

The new logo is a

In 2012, the Mountain West will lose TCU

Dolphins include season

home opener against New England, a Dec. 11
matchup with Philadelphia and the New Year’s

They also can choose any two from a

the ball over to the opposite side of
the court. A screen to create space.
An easy open jumper.
“Fundamental basketball,” Heat
coach Erik Spoelstra said, “at its best.”
And with that, the
Heat are two wins
away from being
crowned the NBA’s
best.
Chris
Bosh’s
jumper from the
left baseline with
39.6 seconds left
after a nifty snap pass
by LeBron James broke
the ninth and final tie of the
game, giving the Heat an 8886 win over the Dallas Mavericks
in Game 3 of the NBA finals on
Sunday night.
The Heat reclaimed home-court
advantage in the series, with a 2-1
edge heading into Game 4 tonight.
“We felt this was a must-win,”
Heat guard Dwyane Wade said after
scoring 29 points and grabbing 11
rebounds. “We had to put it upon
ourselves to try to take home court
back in a sense, and by any means
necessary.”
The Heat wasted a chance to take
command of the series in Game 2,
frittering away a 15-point lead in the
final 7:14.
On Sunday, the Miami lead was
once 14, albeit in the second quarter. The Heat led by seven midway
through the fourth. Could Dallas
come back again?
Well, almost.

NHL STANLEY CUP FINALS: BOSTON 8, VANCOUVER 1
Bruins cruise on home ice
BY HOWARD ULMAN
BOSTON — Shortly after the
Boston Bruins lost Nathan Horton
to a frightening injury, they found
a dazzling offensive rhythm that
got them back into the Stanley Cup
finals.
Andrew Ference and David Krejci
each had a goal and an assist during Boston’s four-goal second period, Tim Thomas made 40 saves,
and the Bruins beat the Canucks,
8-1, in Game 3 on Monday night,
trimming Vancouver’s series lead
to 2-1.
Mark Recchi scored two goals
for the Bruins, who turned a big
win into a blowout with four more
goals in the final 81⁄2 minutes of the
third period against beleaguered
goalie Roberto Luongo, who won
the first two games of the series in
Vancouver.
Boston emerged from its offensive slump after Horton was taken
off the ice on a stretcher in the first
period after taking a late hit to the
head from Vancouver defenseman
Aaron Rome.
Game 4 is Wednesday in Boston.
Brad Marchand scored a shorthanded goal in the second period,
and Daniel Paille added another
short-handed goal in the third.

OSU president Gee: University
reviewing compliance issues
BY RUSTY MILLER
AND ANDREW WELSH-HUGGINS
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State
University must “scrub everything” as it
works to restore order after the resignation
of Jim Tressel, OSU president Gordon Gee
said Monday, one week after the football
coach’s departure.
Gee told The Associated Press in a phone
interview that university trustees are looking at compliance issues across the university, not just in the athletic department.
“Any time that there is a mistake, or any
time that there is an issue that flares up,
and we go back through and scrub everything very, very carefully,” he said. “We
want to make certain that we’re asking all
the right questions.”
Tressel resigned on Memorial Day following revelations that he failed to report
allegations that several players had sold or
traded memorabilia for cash and tattoos.
The NCAA continues to investigate Ohio
State’s football program, particularly in
regard to improper benefits and cars.
Gee said his biggest concern a week
after Tressel’s resignation is making sure
the university looks at mistakes it made
and corrects them.
“Make certain the procedures we have
are best in class, and we are monitoring every one of those issues very, very
carefully,” Gee said. “We’re going to make
certain that we set a very high standard for
ourselves.”
And Ohio State athletic director Gene
Smith will be a part of that. Gee again
insisted that Smith’s job is safe.
“In tumultuous times it’s important to
have a very mature leader,” Gee said. “He
is that.”
Smith and members of Ohio State’s sixmember compliance department have
been working closely with NCAA investigators.
The compliance department went
through an audit in November 2010. At
that time it was recommended that the
department do a better job of monitoring
athletes who had not registered their cars
with the athletic department and improve
how it keeps track of equipment.
When a follow-up audit was done in
April, those suggested changes had been
made to the satisfaction of the auditors.
It was the U.S. Attorney’s investigation

USC stripped of 2004 BCS national title
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Bowl Championship
Series stripped Southern
California of its 2004 title on
Monday, leaving that season
without a BCS champion.
The announcement was no
surprise. BCS officials had said
USC was in danger of having
its championship vacated after
the Trojans were hit with heavy
NCAA sanctions last year for
rules violations committed during the 2004 and ’05 seasons.
“The BCS alerted us today
that their presidents have voted
to vacate USC’s 2005 BCS championship game victory,” USC
athletic director Pat Haden said.
“This was not an unexpected
outcome. We will comply with
all requirements mandated by
the result of this BCS vote.”
“This was not an unexpected outcome. We will
comply with all requirements mandated by the
result of this BCS vote.”
Pat Haden
USC athletic director
The NCAA ruled star tailback
Reggie Bush received improper
extra benefits during those seasons and was ineligible when
he played.
One of Haden’s first moves
when he took over as AD last
year was to give back the
school’s copy of the Heisman
Trophy that Bush won in 2005.
Bush later relinquished his
own Heisman and the trust
in charge of handing out the
award announced the ’05 winner would be left vacant.
The BCS waited until USC
appealed the NCAA sanctions,

But Bosh, winless in all eight of his
previous trips to Dallas as a pro, was
finally a hero in his hometown.
“I knew I was going to have an open
shot,” Bosh said. “I know I have to
shoot it. I just wanted to have good
form, follow through. And I’m lucky.”
Bear in mind, he said that with an
eyeball that was more the size of a
tennis ball.

ban from postseason play and
a loss of 30 scholarships over

The NCAA denied USC’s appeal
on May 26.
At that point, it was just a
matter of time before the
Trojans’ 55-19 victory against

James never even turned around or

“I don’t care if he missed 15 in a

then settled down and found their

HOROSCOPES for today

Keep plugging ahead, and do
all that you can to bring about
the material success you desire
during the near future. If you do,
you should have something to
celebrate by this time next year.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - Don’t try to detail something
before you have the building
blocks in place. The smaller pieces will slip in much easier if you
establish the big picture first.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) - Certain confidential information
will eventually benefit you, but
not until it is time to reveal the
game plan. Prematurely disclosing what you know could cause
things to go helter-skelter and
collapse.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Rely
on your own assessment of a situation instead of on the perceptions of others, because chances
are you’ll be right. When you
decide to sift through relevant
BRIDGE TIPS
clues, you aren’t likely to miss
anything.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - One of your greatest talents is
taking nominal information and
being able to use the fine points
to define what others are missing. You end up with truly worthwhile results.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -What was initially intended to be
a moderate gesture of goodwill
toward you by a loved one could
suddenly turn into something
much grander than anybody ever
anticipated.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- If you are in need, know that
you can turn to persons with
whom you share strong emotional bonds for help or support.
These wonderful friends will be
there for you when you call on
them.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- Don’t hesitate to paint your
canvas with huge, bold strokes
and bright colors. Your big ideas
will be better than the smaller
ones.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- Although you might have
to work hard for it, you could do
better than ever, materially. Don’t
hesitate to put forth whatever
effort is needed in order to score
a big-time profit.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- Without any hesitation, you’ll
take control of developments
when you see those in charge
faltering, but it will only be the
right thing to do if you honestly
feel you can fare better than
they.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
-- A project that appeals to a
number of people should meet
with success, mostly because
everyone involved is looking out
for the other guy as well as for
him or herself.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -The best way to accomplish your
purposes is to get in lockstep
with a specific group that has
the clout to make the changes
you propose. Single out the key
people who can help.

By Phillip Alder
Somerset Maugham said,
“There are three rules for writing a novel. Unfortunately, no
one knows what they are.”
In today’s deal West leads
the heart queen against six
spades. What are the three
reasonable lines of play and
which is best?
North’s response of two
no-trump was the Jacoby
Forcing Raise, guaranteeing
at least four-card support and
game-going values. South’s
three-club rebid indicated a
singleton (or void) in that
suit. After two control-bids
(cue-bids), North bid what
he hoped his partner could
make.
You might win the first
trick on the board and call
for the spade queen. Then,
when East plays low smoothly, you should put up the ace
because that is the percentage
play. However, with this layout you go down when West
shows out and the subsequent
diamond finesse loses.
You could take your top
hearts and clubs (discarding
a diamond from your hand),
ruff the club eight in your
hand, cash the spade ace,
and lead another spade. But
East will win with his king
and shift to a diamond. The
finesse loses and again you
go down one.
The correct -- and almost
guaranteed -- line is to win
with your heart king, take
dummy’s top clubs (pitching
a diamond), ruff the last club
in your hand, play a heart
to dummy’s ace, and run
the spade queen. When the
finesse wins, you are home.
But note that if West has the
singleton spade king, he will
be endplayed. A diamond
lead is away from the king;
and if he plays a heart or club,
you ruff on the board and
sluff your last low diamond.

DAUGHTER’S CLOTHING CHOICES SHOULD
BE LARGELY HER OWN
DEAR ABBY: While I understand
“Loose and Baggy in San Francisco’s”
(April 23) mother’s wish to get the most
out of her daughter’s clothing budget,
as one whose career has been studying
the social psychology of appearance, I
disagree with your response. A
girl’s early teen years are crucial
to her development of self-image
and overall self-esteem. This is a
major reason for their obsession
with their appearance.
Parents who want to assist
their daughters through the
quagmire
of
appearancerelated issues associated with
these years should work with
their daughters by being open
to their needs, yet not allow them to
exceed boundaries of decency, etc. A
13-year-old who wants clothing that fits
should be accommodated. Otherwise,
she stands to become ashamed of her
appearance, inclined to act out through
her appearance once she gains control
over what she wears, and be overly
obsessed with it well beyond her teen
years. -- KAREN KAIGLER-WALKER,
PH.D. BURBANK, CALIF.
DEAR DR. KAIGLER-WALKER:
Thank you for your opinion. Many
readers also empathized with “Loose
and Baggy.” Read on for their views on
the subject:
DEAR ABBY: I had the same
problems when I was 13. My mom always
made me buy clothes that were too
large, too long, etc. But my grandmother
was a clever seamstress who helped “nip
and tuck” the extra material away until I
needed it. She could also add new coollooking details to the clothes. “Loose
and Baggy” may also have a relative with
a talent for clothing alterations, or if not,
she most likely has a tailor or alteration
shop nearby.
I’m 15 now and still have many of
the same clothes. It has saved money
in the long run because we can just let
the stitches out instead of buying new
clothes. At 13, she still has some room
for growth. -- GRANDDAUGHTER OF A
TOP-LEVEL TAILOR
DEAR ABBY: I empathize with
“Loose and Baggy.” When my mom and
I would go shopping, it always
ended in a big fight with me in
tears. I was teased mercilessly by
the other children for dressing
like a “40-year-old” and never
had the cool things the other
kids were wearing even though
my clothes cost just as much.
I vowed never to do that with
my daughter, and by the time
she was 12 she was shopping for
her own clothes. Our only rule
was that she had to follow the three B’s
-- no butt, no boobs and no belly. At 16
she has an amazing sense of fashion and
is often emulated. “Loose and Baggy”
should be given some boundaries and
then allowed to buy what she wants. -REFORMED FRUMP IN TEXAS
DEAR ABBY: When my daughter
was younger, she had specific style tastes
that included expensive, trendy clothes.
I implemented a budget that allowed her
to have a set amount of money on the
first day of the new season. The money
was given to her in cash or, later, in her
checking account. She was responsible
for budgeting the amount herself for her
clothes during that season.
Because of this she has learned
how to manage money, shop “high end”
on sale and roll over unused amounts
to the next season. She has become a
responsible teenager who understands
the value of the dollar. She also trades
outfits with her friends -- or consigns
them to resale stores. “Loose and Baggy”
sounds like part of the “entitlement”
generation and probably would learn
more if she was part of the solution. -SMART MOM/SMART DAUGHTER
