RickScott received wild applause from about1,000 tea party activists when he said <strong>the</strong>$65.9 billion budget proposal he rolled outMonday would cut government waste andlower taxes.Scott is proposing $5 billion in spendingcuts, about half of that in education,in <strong>the</strong> next budget year beginning July 1and ano<strong>the</strong>r $2.6 billion more <strong>the</strong> followingyear.At <strong>the</strong> tea party rally in a Baptist church,<strong>the</strong> new Republican governor comparedhis look at <strong>the</strong> current $70.4 billion budgetto going up in an attic of an old home.“Over <strong>the</strong> last three months I spent alot of time in that attic and I’m cleaningit out,” said Scott. “There’s things that weneed to dust off and repair and protect,and <strong>the</strong>re’s things we need to completelythrow away.”Scott also has proposed cutting pensionbenefits for state workers, teachers andsome local government employees whilemaking <strong>the</strong>m contribute 5 percent of <strong>the</strong>irsalaries to <strong>the</strong>ir retirement plan. He alsowants to cut <strong>the</strong> state’s work force by 8,645positions, or nearly 7 percent, next yearwhile reducing pay for prison employees.Scott also wants to spend more on economicdevelopment and cut $4.1 billion infees and taxes as part of a two-year spendingplan. His proposal includes a $1.4 billioncut in <strong>the</strong> state’s corporate income taxthat he eventually wants to phase out.Businesses also would get a $630.8 millionreduction in taxes <strong>the</strong>y pay into <strong>the</strong>state’s unemployment compensation program.Scott also wants to roll back motorvehicle fees that lawmakers increase acouple years ago by $360 million.He told <strong>the</strong> crowd he’s going throughevery line of <strong>the</strong> budget and removingany item that isn’t essential governmentspending.In an unusual move, Scott broke withtradition by making his budget announcementoutside of Tallahassee. Tea partyactivists from around <strong>the</strong> state came to <strong>the</strong>church and rallied ahead of Scott’s speech.Outside <strong>the</strong>re were “Don’t Tread On Me”flags and inside <strong>the</strong> crowd sang patrioticsongs and listened to speakers criticizePresident Barack Obama and governmentspending.TALLAHASSEE — A Senatecommittee delayed votingMonday on a proposed propertyinsurance bill designed tocrack down on fraudulent orexcessive sinkhole claims.Although a vote was scheduledon <strong>the</strong> measure (SB408), Banking and InsuranceCommittee chairman GarrettRichter, R-Naples, said hewanted to hear more testimonyand won a postponement.The sinkhole issue is <strong>the</strong>most controversial componentof a property insurancereform measure that lawmakersare trying to pass againthis session. It would make iteasier for insurers to refusesinkhole coverage.A similar bill, without <strong>the</strong>sinkhole provisions, passed<strong>the</strong> Legislature last year butwas vetoed by former Gov.Charlie Crist.Richter believes insurancecompanies have been taggedfor millions of dollars in questionable,if not fraudulent,claims where policyholdersextract settlements for somethingas minor as a crack inat <strong>the</strong> Preddy Funeral Homein Orange.

4A THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ◆ TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2011EDITORIAL BOARDPAUL A. CLARIN/PUBLISHERTOM TUELL/EDITORRALPH MORROW/SPORTS EDITOROPINIONED BLOCKCHARLIE BRADFORDKEN DOMANSKISHIRLEY FREEMANTODD GERMANComputer worm is afrightening milestoneHistory is a peculiarthing. Although it isoccurring all aroundus, it is almost impossible todistinguish between <strong>the</strong> minormoments and seismic shiftswithout <strong>the</strong> vantage point oftime. This is especially true in<strong>the</strong> world of technology, wherenew advances seem to appearevery day.The proliferation of <strong>the</strong>Stuxnet worm, however, representsa new and frighteningmilestone in <strong>the</strong> arenaof international computerwarfare. It truly represents historyunfolding before us in realtime.The Stuxnet virus was specificallydesigned to play havocwith <strong>the</strong> computers that helprun Iran’s nuclear program.Experts say that <strong>the</strong> viruswas introduced in 2009 and,although it infected computersthroughout <strong>the</strong> world, itwas specifically designed tohamstring Iran’s nuclear ambitions.According to numerousaccounts, Stuxnet has done itsjob, setting back <strong>the</strong> country’snuclear program by years.For many people, that’s<strong>the</strong> good news. Many leaders,both in <strong>the</strong> United Statesand throughout <strong>the</strong> MiddleEast, have welcomed <strong>the</strong> delayas an opportunity to avoidwhat has euphemisticallybeen described as a “militaryoption.”There has also been aremarkable absence of anyapparent collateral damage.The designers of this virusseem to have worked painstakinglyto ensure that, althougheasily transmitted, it attacksa very specific target. In fact,when first discovered by antivirussoftware, experts wereconfounded as to why someonewould go to great lengthsto create such a complex codethat seemed to produce no illeffects.Who developed Stuxnet?There’s no hard evidence, butlots of speculation. Obviously,GOVERNMENT WEBSITES:Monroe Countyhttp://www.monroecounty-fl.govCity of <strong>Key</strong> <strong>West</strong>http://www.keywestcity.comCity of Marathonhttp://www.ci.marathon.fl.usVillage of Islamoradahttp://www.islamorada.fl.usEditorialcountries such as Israel and<strong>the</strong> United States have muchto gain if Iran’s nuclear effortsstall.But it is <strong>the</strong> very effectivenessof <strong>the</strong> virus that shouldgive us pause, no matterwhom we are or who developedit.

World food priceshit a record in January, drivenby huge increases in <strong>the</strong> pricesof wheat, corn, sugar and oils.These soaring prices havehad only a modest effect onU.S. inflation, which is stilllow by historical standards,but <strong>the</strong>y’re having a brutalimpact on <strong>the</strong> world’s poor,who spend much if not mostof <strong>the</strong>ir income on basic foodstuffs.The consequences of thisfood crisis go far beyondeconomics. After all, <strong>the</strong> bigquestion about uprisingsagainst corrupt and oppressiveregimes in <strong>the</strong> Middle East isn’tso much why <strong>the</strong>y’re happeningas why <strong>the</strong>y’re happeningnow. And <strong>the</strong>re’s little questionthat sky-high food prices havebeen an important trigger forpopular rage.So what’s behind <strong>the</strong> pricespike? American right-wingers(and <strong>the</strong> Chinese) blame easymoneypolicies at <strong>the</strong> FederalReserve, with at leastone commentatordeclaring that <strong>the</strong>re is“blood on Bernanke’shands.” Meanwhile,President NicolasSarkozy of Franceblames speculators,accusing <strong>the</strong>m of“extortion and pillaging.”But <strong>the</strong> evidence tells a different,much more ominousstory. While several factorshave contributed to soaringfood prices, what reallystands out is <strong>the</strong> extent towhich severe wea<strong>the</strong>r eventshave disrupted agriculturalproduction. And <strong>the</strong>se severewea<strong>the</strong>r events are exactly <strong>the</strong>kind of thing we’d expect tosee as rising concentrations ofgreenhouse gases change ourclimate — which means that<strong>the</strong> current food price surgemay be just <strong>the</strong> beginning.Now, to some extent soaringfood prices are part of ageneral commodity boom: Theprices of many raw materials,running <strong>the</strong> gamut fromaluminum to zinc,have been risingrapidly since early2009, mainly thanksto rapid industrialgrowth in emergingmarkets.But <strong>the</strong> linkbetween industrialgrowth and demandis a lot clearer for, say, copperthan it is for food. Exceptin very poor countries, risingincomes don’t have mucheffect on how much peopleeat.It’s true that growth inemerging nations like Chinaleads to rising meat consumption,and hence rising demandfor animal feed. It’s also truethat agricultural raw materials,especially cotton, compete forland and o<strong>the</strong>r resources withfood crops — as does <strong>the</strong> subsidizedproduction of ethanol,which consumes a lot of corn.So both economic growth andbad energy policy have playedsome role in <strong>the</strong> food pricesurge.Still, food prices laggedbehind <strong>the</strong> prices of o<strong>the</strong>rcommodities until last summer.Then <strong>the</strong> wea<strong>the</strong>r struck.Consider <strong>the</strong> case of wheat,whose price has almost doubledsince <strong>the</strong> summer. Theimmediate cause of <strong>the</strong> wheatprice spike is obvious: worldproduction is down sharply.The bulk of that productiondecline, according to U.S.Department of Agriculturedata, reflects a sharp plunge in<strong>the</strong> former Soviet Union. Andwe know what that’s about: arecord heat wave and drought,which pushed Moscow temperaturesabove 100 degreesfor <strong>the</strong> first time ever.The Russian heat wavewas only one of many recentextreme wea<strong>the</strong>r events, fromdry wea<strong>the</strong>r in Brazil to biblical-proportionflooding inAustralia, that have damagedworld food production.The question <strong>the</strong>n becomes,what’s behind all this extremewea<strong>the</strong>r?To some extent we’re seeing<strong>the</strong> results of a natural phenomenon,La Nina — a periodicevent in which water in<strong>the</strong> equatorial Pacific becomescooler than normal. And LaNina events have historicallybeen associated with globalfood crises, including <strong>the</strong> crisisof 2007-08.But that’s not <strong>the</strong> wholestory. Don’t let <strong>the</strong> snow foolyou: Globally, 2010 was tiedwith 2005 for warmest yearon record, even though wewere at a solar minimum andLa Nina was a cooling factorin <strong>the</strong> second half of <strong>the</strong> year.Temperature records wereset not just in Russia but inno fewer than 19 countries,covering a fifth of <strong>the</strong> world’sland area. And both droughtsand floods are natural consequencesof a warming world:droughts because it’s hotter,floods because warm oceansrelease more water vapor.As always, you can’t attributeany one wea<strong>the</strong>r event togreenhouse gases. But <strong>the</strong> patternwe’re seeing, with extremehighs and extreme wea<strong>the</strong>r ingeneral becoming much morecommon, is just what you’dexpect from climate change.The usual suspects will, ofcourse, go wild over suggestionsthat global warming hassomething to do with <strong>the</strong> foodcrisis; those who insist thatBen Bernanke has blood on hishands tend to be more or less<strong>the</strong> same people who insistthat <strong>the</strong> scientific consensuson climate reflects a vast leftistconspiracy.But <strong>the</strong> evidence does, infact, suggest that what we’regetting now is a first taste of<strong>the</strong> disruption, economic andpolitical, that we’ll face in awarming world. And given ourfailure to act on greenhousegases, <strong>the</strong>re will be muchmore, and much worse, tocome.Paul Krugman is a syndicatedcolumnist with The NewYork Times and winner of <strong>the</strong>2008 Nobel Memorial Prize inEconomic Sciences.

Nota chance.NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE: SUPER BOWL XLVSWEET REUNIONLombardi Trophy returns toGreen Bay with championsBY TIM REYNOLDSThe Associated PressMIAMI — Listed perhaps generously at 6-foot-1, Eddie House is <strong>the</strong> shortest player on <strong>the</strong>Miami Heat roster.Little big man, indeed.House’s career has been marked by <strong>the</strong> abilityto deliver big shots — and he’s doing thatin bunches of late for Miami. In a little overtwo weeks, he made a two free throws to beatDetroit, hit a huge 3-pointer late in Miami’s winat Oklahoma City, and on Sunday scored 13points in <strong>the</strong> fourth quarter as <strong>the</strong> Heat pulledaway from <strong>the</strong> Los Angeles Clippers.Since Jan. 22, House is shooting 64.5 percent in<strong>the</strong> fourth quarters of <strong>the</strong> seven games in whichhe’s played — and Miami has won each of thosecontests.“He’s one of those special players that canshoot cold,” Heat guard Dwyane Wade said. “Ifhe’s made eight in a row, if he’s missed nine in arow, you feel that <strong>the</strong> next one is going in no matterwhat. That’s <strong>the</strong> kind of guy he is and we’reglad to have him.”House sees a natural progression in <strong>the</strong> way<strong>the</strong>y bought piles of Super Bowlgear and memorabilia. To makeroom, <strong>the</strong> team finally had to herdshoppers and visitors into a line thatstretched outside <strong>the</strong> stadium.Ashley Ellis, 17, and EricaChristensen, 18, of Oak Creek, wentto bed at midnight after celebrating<strong>the</strong> victory.

No,just kidding. I’ll try toarrange a lunch withBurton and our previouswinners ChristineGorham, Patricia Brown,Lorena Azuaje and GeorgeLancaster — probably nearMarathon, where Lancaster livesand halfway to <strong>Key</strong> Largo, whereBurton lives.In typing in Sunday’s material, Idid make one screw-up (I hope onlyone).

That was followed by a learningprocess to figure how best to fit with LeBronJames, Chris Bosh and Wade. Then he needed afew more weeks to get into <strong>the</strong> rotation — fromDec. 3 through Jan. 12, House played a grandtotal of 18 minutes in a 20-game span.Better late than never, Housesaid.“All I had to do was stayready to help this team,”House said. “That’s what Idid.”He hadn’t had four straight gamesof double-digit scoring since November 2007.He’s had two of those streaks in <strong>the</strong> last monthalone, and will look for a fifth consecutive oneof those when Miami — a winner of six straightgames — hosts Indiana tonight.“It’s fun winning,” House said. “The month ofDecember was fun, too. I wasn’t in <strong>the</strong> rotationbut I still had fun with it. We were playing greatbasketball. As long as we’re winning, man, it’salways fun.”Some o<strong>the</strong>rs came close. TracyKessler, who looks after our petsat All Animal Clinic, missed byonly three points, as did TommyLancaster, <strong>the</strong> son of GeorgeLancaster, one of last year’s winners.Gillis and Singleton missedby only four points.As I pointed out at Sunday’s3rd Annual Ralph MorrowSuper Bowl Party, 49 of <strong>the</strong> 87at <strong>the</strong> party picked <strong>the</strong> Packers.Congratulations to all of you andthanks to everyone for playing.For a week now, Burton hasbeen <strong>the</strong> new manager of <strong>the</strong>Keller Williams Realty Co. in <strong>Key</strong>Largo after being a classified salesrep for <strong>the</strong> Islamorada and <strong>Key</strong>Largo Free Press, sister papers ofThe <strong>Citizen</strong>.

There wasn’t adefinite date or definite day,” he said. “Right now,I haven’t had a lot of contact. He’s in contact withour trainer just to let him know how he’s feelingand so forth. There really isn’t a timeframe, as faras we’re concerned at this point, of getting himback into town.”Crosby left <strong>the</strong> team last week to visit his parentsoutside of Halifax, N.S.Since he left, not only did Pittsburgh lose to<strong>the</strong> Washington Capitals, 3-0, on Sunday, <strong>the</strong>Penguins lost center Evgeni Malkin to two tornligaments in his right knee. Malkin was injured in<strong>the</strong> Penguins’ 3-2 win over <strong>the</strong> Buffalo Sabres onFriday. It’s still not clear if he’ll need surgery.“Given <strong>the</strong> severity of <strong>the</strong> injury, right nowwe’re taking some time to let his knee calm down“We haven’t gone down a label oftime.

Bylsma wasasked Monday about <strong>the</strong> possibility of Crosby’sabsence growing even longer than originallythought.a designated shooter, someoneto stretch <strong>the</strong> court for playerslike James, Wade and Bosh— much in <strong>the</strong> same way thatMike Miller and James Jonesalso do for <strong>the</strong> Heat.And with <strong>the</strong> playoffs gettingnearer every day, House is gettinghimself closer and closer topostseason form.“My job is that if I get openshots,” House said, “I have toknock <strong>the</strong>m down.”

If <strong>the</strong>re’s one franchise that isn’tused to this feeling, it’s <strong>the</strong> Steelers. Sure,<strong>the</strong>y lost a Super Bowl before, but <strong>the</strong>y’vewon two since and <strong>the</strong>y have six in <strong>the</strong>ircollection.What’s more, Roethlisberger lost hischance to join rarified air and becomeone of <strong>the</strong> few quarterbacks with threeSuper Bowl rings — think Troy Aikman,Joe Montana, Tom Brady, Terry Bradshaw.Instead, he threw two picks vs. <strong>the</strong> Packersand saw one returned for a touchdown.“I feel like I let <strong>the</strong> city of Pittsburghdown, <strong>the</strong> fans, my coaches, my teammates,”he said after <strong>the</strong> loss.The Steelers can only hope <strong>the</strong>y won’<strong>the</strong>ar a similar speech this offseason from<strong>the</strong> maligned quarterback.Roethlisberger shamed <strong>the</strong> organizationlast offseason with his behavior in aGeorgia nightclub that resulted in a sexualabuse allegation. He wasn’t prosecuted,but did earn a four-game suspension forviolating <strong>the</strong> league’s personal conductpolicy.He told <strong>the</strong> Steelers on <strong>the</strong> final drivethat he believed in <strong>the</strong>m and <strong>the</strong>y couldwin <strong>the</strong> game. But he could only move<strong>the</strong>m 20 yards, before turning <strong>the</strong> ball overon downs, while ano<strong>the</strong>r one of <strong>the</strong> NFL’siconic franchises celebrated.Normally, when a topic likeRoethlisberger’s third title pops up, <strong>the</strong> oldNFL adage that “<strong>the</strong>re’s always next year”would surface.But that might not be <strong>the</strong> case this year.The collective bargaining agreementexpires at <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> day on March 3,and barring an agreement before <strong>the</strong>n,owners are threatening to lock out players.Therefore, Sunday’s Super Bowl could be<strong>the</strong> last game played this calendar year.PackersContinued from page 1Bkas jammed <strong>the</strong> team’s route,transforming <strong>the</strong> streets intohuman trenches.A house across <strong>the</strong> street from<strong>the</strong> stadium — Lambeau Fieldfamously sits in <strong>the</strong> middle ofa residential neighborhood— blared Queen’s “We Are TheChampions.” Fans broke outin spontaneous chants of “GoPack Go!” and “The Bears StillSuck!,” and mugged for televisionnews crews.The crowd’s cheers rose to aroar as <strong>the</strong> team’s buses neared<strong>the</strong> stadium. News helicoptersbuzzed overhead. Players ando<strong>the</strong>r team officials could beseen holding up video camerasfrom <strong>the</strong>ir seats, recording <strong>the</strong>moment.Craig Umentum, 29, of GreenBay, dragged a green-and-goldwagon loaded with a case ofbeer to <strong>the</strong> stadium.“The title is home, baby!”“I don’t think it’s even a ’possible lockout.’I feel that it’s something that is definitelygoing to happen,” Steelers linebackerJames Harrison said. “I hope it doesn’t,because it’s going to take a lot away from<strong>the</strong> fans. When it comes down to it, it’s abusiness move for (<strong>the</strong> NFL), and if it’s<strong>the</strong> way <strong>the</strong>y say it is, I don’t see any o<strong>the</strong>roption. They still will make <strong>the</strong>ir moneyand not have to pay anything.”If that’s not <strong>the</strong> case, and 2011-12 goeson as planned, <strong>the</strong> Steelers will return ingreat shape.Roethlisberger and receiver Hines Wardwill be back. So, too, will a young coreat <strong>the</strong> skill positions that should keep<strong>the</strong> Steelers AFC contenders moving forward.Team president Art Rooney certainlybelieves <strong>the</strong> franchise has <strong>the</strong> right playersin place to build a Super Bowl championaround.“I feel good about our team,” he said.“We’ll go into next year feeling like we’lltake ano<strong>the</strong>r shot at it. It takes a few daysto recover from this game, so we’ll lick ourwounds for a couple of days and <strong>the</strong>n getback to work next year.”There’s plenty of blame to pass aroundfor <strong>the</strong> way this season ended, though.The Steelers were let down by a defensepicked apart by Aaron Rodgers. Harrisonand Defensive Player of <strong>the</strong> Year TroyPolamalu, <strong>the</strong> Steelers’ super safety, failedto deliver <strong>the</strong> big plays and hard hits atopportune times that had defined <strong>the</strong> season.Rodgers, <strong>the</strong> Super Bowl MVP, tookaim at <strong>the</strong> Steelers’ suspect secondary andconnected for several clutch plays.“(Green Bay’s) defense,” Polamalu said,“outplayed our defense.”The Steelers, who were not availableto <strong>the</strong> media on Monday, returned toPittsburgh without a parade to plan. Streetvendors hawking Steelers merchandiseoffered blowout sales on “last day to buy!”signs. And airport kiosks were quiet withoutany Super Bowl-champion T-shirts tosell, as shoppers lingered in novelty storeswithout <strong>the</strong> pressure to buy.At Primanti Bro<strong>the</strong>rs restaurant — aPittsburgh tradition that has fed many aSteeler fan — folks noshed on <strong>the</strong>ir pastrami-and-cheesesandwiches, paying noattention to <strong>the</strong> muted Super Bowl highlightsat a TV hanging near <strong>the</strong> counter.A silver lining for <strong>the</strong> black-and-goldfaithful is all <strong>the</strong> “Seventh Heaven” merchandisewill still be good for at leastano<strong>the</strong>r year.Umentum yelled, his voice stillhoarse from screaming duringSunday night’s game. “Whoo!Where it belongs! Green Bay,baby!”Joni Hamalainen, 25, ofHelsinki, Finland, arrived inGreen Bay on Friday to watch<strong>the</strong> game. A longtime Packersfan, he said he consideredgoing to <strong>the</strong> Super Bowl butit was too expensive. Insteadhe journeyed to Green Bay— alone — and watched <strong>the</strong>game with hundreds of newfriends at <strong>the</strong> Stadium View Barand Grill.“It’s a dream trip,” he said ashe waited for <strong>the</strong> motorcade toarrive.Rich Winker, 42, of La Crosse,showed up in former Packerslinebacker Ray Nitchske’s No.66 jersey and a replica oldschoolPackers lea<strong>the</strong>r footballhelmet.

The Steelerslost <strong>the</strong> game, 31-25.And linebacker James Farrior — a veteranspokesman for <strong>the</strong> defense — believed<strong>the</strong> Steelers will be in <strong>the</strong> Super Bowl mixnext season.“I think so,” he said. “I love this group. Ithink it is a heck of a group. There is a lotmore football left in us. We just have tostay toge<strong>the</strong>r. Hopefully, everything worksout in <strong>the</strong> offseason and we get back herenext season.”But it’s <strong>the</strong> season after Super Bowls,more than <strong>the</strong> game itself, that hasgiven <strong>the</strong> Steelers fits recently. In fact,Pittsburgh failed to make <strong>the</strong> playoffsafter each of <strong>the</strong>ir last two Super Bowltitles. They finished 8-8 in 2006 and 9-7in 2009.Rooney doesn’t seem worried, though.“I don’t think we’ll be sitting <strong>the</strong>re sayingwe’re gonna make a lot of changes,”he said. “We’ll prepare for <strong>the</strong> draft andadd some players here and <strong>the</strong>re, and beready to go.”“Seventh Heaven” still awaits.just unreal how many peopleare here.

The real party isset for this afternoon, when <strong>the</strong>Packers are expected to stagea public rally at Lambeau.Gov. Scott Walker, who proclaimedFebruary as Green BayPackers Super Bowl championshipmonth, was expected toattend.But <strong>the</strong>re’s a little hitch —Lambeau’s bleachers are coveredwith snow and ice.The team announcedMonday morning that it wouldpay people $8 an hour toremove it ahead of <strong>the</strong> celebration.Adam Shirek, 23, of Milladore,drove two hours Monday toLambeau for <strong>the</strong> parade.

He saw <strong>the</strong> line ofsnow volunteers at <strong>the</strong> stadiumand decided to join <strong>the</strong>m.Decked out in Clay Mat<strong>the</strong>ws’No. 52 jersey, he attacked <strong>the</strong>ice with a fury.“Could be a once-in-a-lifetimeexperience helping shovelsnow at Lambeau Field . . .after <strong>the</strong> Super Bowl,” he saidas he worked. “It will be memorable.Hopefully it’ll bring meup on <strong>the</strong> season ticket waitinglist.”Justin Spes, 31, of Green Bay,took it all in as he sipped a beerfrom Umentum’s wagon.

I’m not interested in <strong>the</strong>mbecause I feel <strong>the</strong>y are only after onething. Ano<strong>the</strong>r problem is, when I startgetting close to a man my ownage, he always makes me feel“smo<strong>the</strong>red.” It seems I’m ei<strong>the</strong>rloved too much or not at all.Is <strong>the</strong>re a balance, or am Ijust afraid of getting close? --AVOIDING GETTING HURT INMILWAUKEEDEAR AVOIDING: I suspectthat it’s <strong>the</strong> latter. Not all youngermen are interested in only onething. Some are, but not all.And men your age who are ready forcommitment are not “smo<strong>the</strong>ring” you-- but <strong>the</strong>y do seem to want somethingyou are unwilling or unable to give.Unless you can determine what’sholding you back, you will remainsingle and looking. A psychologistcould help you get to <strong>the</strong> heart of <strong>the</strong>matter quickly, and that’s what I’mrecommending so I won’t hear fromyou with this same problem whenyou’re 50.DEAR ABBY: After nine years ofmarriage, my husband, “Brett,” and Iwelcomed our first child 10 monthsago. We are happy except for a problemwith Brett’s mo<strong>the</strong>r, “Carol.”Carol and I have had a rockyrelationship, although in recent yearsthings seem to have gotten better.My complaint (and Brett’s as well)with Carol is that she is intrusive.She always wants to be in <strong>the</strong> middleof everything and won’t ease up on“mo<strong>the</strong>ring” Brett. Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore, Carolhas decided our child should call her“Grandmommy” or “Mommy Smith.”I object to that name because I feel“Mommy” is <strong>the</strong> one name reservedThere’s always somethin’ cookin’ in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Key</strong>s!Look for <strong>the</strong> “What’s Cookin’?” Restaurant Guide in <strong>the</strong><strong>Key</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>Citizen</strong> for Menu Specials, Brunch, Breakfast,NOTICE OF SALEIN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THESIXTEENTH JUDICIAL CIRCUITIN AND FOR MONROE COUNTY,FLORIDANOTICE OF FORECLOSURE-SALE BY CLERK OF THECIRCUIT COURTNotice is hereby given that<strong>the</strong> undersigned, DANNY L.KOLHAGE, Clerk of <strong>the</strong> CircuitCourt of Monroe County, Florida,will on <strong>the</strong> 25th day of February,2011 at 11:00 o'clock a.m., at500 WHITEHEAD STREETMONROE COUNTY, IN THE CITYOF KEY WEST, FLORIDA, offerfor sale, and sell at public outcry to<strong>the</strong> highest and best bidder forCASH <strong>the</strong> following describedproperty situated in MonroeCounty, Florida to wit:NOTICE OF SALEThe M.V.

I don’t mind “Grandma,”“Grandmo<strong>the</strong>r” or “Granny.” But Carolwon’t back down.

Pleaseadvise. -- THE ONLY MOMMYHEREDEAR ONLY MOMMY: Youand Brett need to calm down.Your child won’t be doing a lotof talking for a while. And whenyour baby does, he or she isn’tgoing to be calling Carol by anymultisyllabic appellations.Yourchild will probably call her aname that’s easy to pronounceand entirely original.DEAR ABBY: I am <strong>the</strong> youngestof three children. Whenever mymom looks through our family photoalbums, she makes comments about“<strong>the</strong> good old days” while she’s lookingat <strong>the</strong> pictures taken before I was born.It offends me when I hear it, because itfeels like she’s saying <strong>the</strong> years sheremembers most fondly are <strong>the</strong> onesbefore she had me.Am I overreacting, or do thosecomments seem inappropriate to youas well? -- OUT OF THE PICTURE,LEWISTON, IDAHODEAR OUT OF THE PICTURE:When your mo<strong>the</strong>r looks at <strong>the</strong>photo albums, she may be remindedof a time when she was younger,experienced less stress and had fewerresponsibilities. Not knowing her, Ican’t tell you if you’re overreacting. ButI can suggest that you discuss this withher because your feelings may be a mileoff target.
