> > WEST PALM BEACH -- A former Marine who has fought with his
> homeowners'
> > association since he raised an American flag on a 12-foot flagpole
> three
> > years ago will have another chance to keep his flag and his home.
> >
> > A judge ordered George Andres and the association to try and
> resolve their
> > dispute or go to trial. The ruling on Friday came just days before
> Andres'
> > home was set for a foreclosure sale to allow the association to
> collect more
> > than $20,000 in legal fees.
> >
> > Andres, 66, has drawn considerable support during his fight to fly
> the flag
> > from the pole, instead of from brackets attached to his home as
> association
> > rules dictate.
> >
> > The Legislature passed a law allowing people to fly the American
> flag
> > regardless of homeowner association rules. On Flag Day last year,
> Gov. Jeb
> > Bush brought him a flag that had flown over the state Capitol and
> helped him
> > raise it on the flagpole. Attorney General Charlie Crist has
> provided legal
> > help for Andres in his fight to keep his home.
> >
> > Crist said he thinks Andres will ultimately prevail.
> >
> > "We're there with him any inch of the way," said Crist, who visited
> with
> > Andres and his wife, Anne, Friday afternoon at the home in Jupiter,
> which is
> > about 15 miles north of West Palm Beach.
> >
> > The state has argued that Florida's homestead exemption establishes
> a
> > constitutional protection against the sale of a home to collect a
> debt.
> >
> > "The notion that an ex-Marine would come within an eyelash of
> losing his
> > home for flying an American flag is astounding," Crist said.
> >
> > A circuit judge ruled in 2000 that Andres had to remove the pole
> and fined
> > him $7,400 when he violated her order. The order was upheld by an
> appeals
> > court. The homeowners association later filed a lien against
> Andres' house
> > for the legal fees it said he owned them.
> >
> > Circuit Judge Edward Fine ruled in March that the homeowners
> association
> > could go on with foreclosure to collect $21,000 in legal fees. Fine
> also
> > handed down the ruling Friday that requires mediation in the next
> 30 days.
> >
> > Steven Selz, an attorney for the Indian Creek Phase 3B Homeowners
> > Association, said settling the case would be difficult because
> Andres has
> > been unwilling to reimburse the association for any of the fees
> he's been
> > ordered to pay.
> >
> > "There's still an outstanding judgment for $21,000 plus interest,
> and that's
> > not going to go away," Selz said.
