Citrus County COVID-19 update

Twenty new positive cases were reported in Citrus County since the latest FDOH update. One new hospitalization was reported; no new deaths were reported. To date in the county, 419 people have tested positive, 46 have been hospitalized and 13 have died.

CMH seeks plasma for COVID-19 patients

Citrus Memorial Hospi-tal is part of a national study to determine if plasma from convales-cent, or recovered, COVID-19 patients may benefit individuals cur-rently hospitalized with severe or life-threatening cases of the virus. As part of the effort, the hospital is seeking eligible volun-teers to donate plasma to help current patients in need.

To date, there is no proven therapy for indi-viduals who are diag-nosed with COVID-19, but there is a long history of successful viral infec-tion treatment using con-valescent plasma. After someone is infected with a virus like COVID-19 and recovers, their blood contains antibodies that their immune system pro-duced to help them fight off the virus. By infusing this plasma into patients who are facing severe cases of COVID-19, their immune system might more effectively be able to fight the virus.

People who tested positive for COVID-19 and have since tested negative can help by do-nating plasma through LifeSouth.

Disabled vet committed for shooting two in Florida ER

WEST PALM BEACH — A disabled Army vet-eran convicted of shoot-ing and wounding two people inside a Florida veterans clinic has been committed to a mental health care facility for 25 years.

A federal judge in West Palm Beach ordered Larry Ray Bon’s commit-ment on Monday, accord-ing to court records.

Bon, 60, pleaded guilty in March to three counts of assaulting, resisting or impeding federal employ-ees and one count of possession of a firearm in a federal facility with in-tent to commit a crime.

FORT LAUDERDALE — Florida’s Democratic congressional delegation blasted Gov. Ron DeSantis’ response to the coronavi-rus outbreak, saying Tues-day that his refusal to issue statewide orders re-quiring masks and impose

tougher restrictions on businesses has caused un-needed deaths and spread the disease.

They called on the Re-publican governor to close beaches and again close gyms and bar inside dining at restaurants statewide as the state hit a new record for daily hospital admissions. They said he has never met with a bipartisan

congressional delegation to discuss the virus and his administration’s order Monday requiring school districts to reopen class-rooms this fall usurps local authority and en-dangers families.

“The failure of leader-ship at the national and state level has put us in the position we are in now,” said Rep. Lois Frankel of Palm Beach County. “If we

had starved the virus at the beginning and com-pletely shutdown ... and got everyone to wear masks, we would be in a much different position today and we would have saved lives.”

Rep. Debbie Wasser-man Schultz of Broward County said during the conference call with re-porters that DeSantis has failed to provide “honest,

courageous leadership.” “The governor told us

(Monday) the surge is sta-bilized with a straight face,” she said. “This is a total gaslight of Florida residents and right in tune with his longstand-ing campaign of half-truths and mixed messages throughout this crisis.”

Kayak rules begin to take shape

MATTHEW BECK/ChronicleIn this January 2020 photo, these women glide across the shallow, clear waters of King’s Bay in Crystal River.

BuSTer ThompSonStaff writer

A citizen committee gave its unanimous support to a pro-posed set of rules seeking to regulate and charge Crystal River’s kayak-rental industry launching into King’s Bay.

Members of the city’s

Waterfronts Advisory Board voted 5-0 the evening of Mon-day, July 6, 2020, recommending City Manager Ken Frink’s plan for City Council to consider at its July 13 meeting.

“What you guys are doing is quite an undertaking,” board Chairman Wayne Mozo told Frink and his staff during a

virtual meeting. “It’s quite a price but one I think is worth-while in the end.”

Advisory board members also asked Frink in their vote to re-vise his measures to better de-fine fee structures for commercial kayak launches, create safety for paddlecraft launching and specify how

business can unload equipment and passengers.

“There is more work that needs to be done before this goes to council,” board mem-ber Mike Engiles said. “We’re putting the cart before the horse.”

It’s not the monetary value, but the principle: Sometime between the evening of Saturday, July 4, 2020, and the fol-lowing Monday morning, someone stole the Amer-ican and POW flags from the flagpole at the Citrus

County Veterans Coali-tion building at 1081 N. Paul Drive, in Inverness.

The pole had only been erected in early June, in order to be ready for Flag Day, on June 14, said Dan Luce, Citrus County Veterans Coalition spokesman.

The first time Jillian Shade met Kirsten Tomlinson, it was not “friendship at first sight.”

“We had moved in across the street from her. ... and my mom made me go to a birthday party at her house — I think

it was for one of her brothers,” Jillian said. “We were not fond of each other when we first met — we despised each other.”

Luce said the flags’ combined monetary value is only about $60, but to the coalition mem-bers, they’re invaluable because of what they stand for.

“The person who called the sheriff ’s of-fice Monday morning is a Vietnam War veteran, and he took it person-ally,” Luce said, adding that a deputy responded to the call.

Luce said the flagpole itself was not vandalized.

“They didn’t cut the rope — they actually lowered the flags and took them off the hooks,” he said. “There was no damage.”

The two flags were heavy-duty 3x5 foot flags, designed to withstand 24-hour outdoor use.

“The flagpole is lit from above, but this illu-mination did not deter the thieves,” Luce said. “We’ve already gotten of-fers from people who want to donate flags to replace the ones that were stolen, so the flags will be flying by the end of the week, one way or another.”

Still, the CCVC would appreciate anyone who knows of the missing flags’ whereabouts, or has any information about the theft, to call 352-400-8952.

“We’re hoping some-one in the area finds them in their yard or something,” Luce said.

DeSantis said at a Tues-day press conference the key to curtailing the virus is for vulnerable people like the elderly or chronically ill to self-isolate and for others to wear masks and practice social distancing when in public spaces.

“Especially when it is hot out, when you pack a bunch of people in a private resi-dence or have a party with

loud music and a lot of hoo-tin’ and hollerin’, that is going to be a strong venue for transmission,” he said.

The governor has re-fused to issue a statewide mask order, however, say-ing that should be left to counties and cities, that what is right in Miami is not necessarily needed in rural communities.

Many of the state’s major metropolitan areas have issued orders requir-ing masks inside public buildings and some closed beaches over the July

Fourth weekend. Mi-ami-Dade County on Mon-day again limited restaurants to outdoor dining, takeout and deliv-ery. County Mayor Carlos Gimenez rescinded an order Tuesday closing gyms, however, saying now anyone inside would have to wear a mask.

The state announced Tuesday that it will send 100 nurses to help Mi-ami-area hospitals as it grapples with a surge in coronavirus cases. Most of

the nurses will work in the intensive care units for Jackson Health System, which has seen its COVID-19 patients triple in the past month.

The Democrats’ call came shortly after the state confirmed 7,347 new cases Tuesday, bringing the total since March 1 to 213,794. Another 63 people died, bringing the total to 3,943. The 45 deaths per day averaged over the last week is a 50% jump since three weeks ago.

But once the girls warmed up to each other, and despite their age difference — Kirsten was nearly three years older — they became inseparable friends, until Kirsten was killed by a hit-and-run driver June 6, 2020, in Escon-dido, California as she was crossing the street.

Kirsten Rain Tomlinson was 17.Kirsten was a bundle of energy, a whirlwind

of fun.“She was bounce-off-the-walls, stay-up-

until-4 a.m. energetic,” Jillian said.Kirsten’s energy and bubbly personality is

what drew Lacie Horak to her.“She was always happy and smiling,” Lacie

said. “We went to the same high school (Crys-tal River High School) and had some classes together. We automatically clicked.”

The two girls had sleepovers that “lasted for weeks,” Lacie, 17, said. “She was always at my house. We’d blare the music and have dance parties. I lived on the water, and we’d sit on the dock and watch the sunset and take pictures.”

Oh, did Kirsten take pictures!“Thousands and thousands and thousands,”

Jillian said.Kirsten wanted to be a model.“We’d do a lot of photo shoots together,”

Lacie said.Kirsten and Jillian also spent hours, often

in the middle of the night, doing their makeup and hair and taking photos.

“She was really good at doing makeup,” Jil-lian said. “She didn’t even need foundation. She had a beautiful complexion naturally.”

To Jillian’s mom, Stephanie Scheibelhoffer, Kirsten was a second daughter.

“She was always at my house,” she said, “and she taught me what it was like to have two daughters. She called me Mom and I called her my daughter. ... either for my birth-day or Christmas, she got me a #1 Mom brace-let. I was her home away from home.”

When Kirsten first started coming to Schei-belhoffer’s house, it was to visit Jillian’s older brother, Damien, whom she dated off and on.

“In the beginning, she would only talk to Damien and not to the rest of us,” Scheibel-hoffer said. “One day I said to her, ‘You’re over here all the time and you need to warm up to us.’ After that, she never shut up! She

would be so loud and giggly — I think it was Lacie’s mom who said Kirsten was a ‘breath of fresh air.’”

“She was the sweetest little girl,” said Kirsten’s mom, Erica Connery. “She was the oldest of her siblings and stepsiblings and she was a ‘mommy’ figure. She loved to mother people.”

Connery said besides a model, at one time Kirsten wanted to be a veterinarian, because she loved animals, and then when they moved to Citrus County she fell in love with the man-atees and dolphins and thought about being a marine biologist.

“She loved the water and swam all the time,” Connery said. “She was a happy, and adventurous ball of light for everyone. Ten minutes is all it took for anyone to fall in love with her.”

For much of her early childhood, Kirsten had health problems that kept her home from school a lot.

At age 12 she was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.

She struggled with keeping up at school and dropped out after the 10th grade.

However, recently, she was working toward getting her GED, which is one of the reasons she went to California.

Her father, who is in the Navy, is stationed in San Diego.

Kirsten went to visit him for two weeks over Christmas and then returned in January to live with him.

“The two weeks she was visiting out there, her dad was helping her with job applications and college applications, and she had a lot of offers,” Jillian said.

“We cried when she said she was moving,” Scheibelhoffer said, “but I told her we wanted nothing but the best for her.”

Kirsten Tomlinson was goofy. She loved eat-ing spicy food.

If you were her friend, you had an ally and a defender.

“If you messed with her friends, she would get mad, probably even angrier than you,” Jil-lian said. “She was a loyal friend, and she tried to make people happy.”

She loved the latest trends; her favorite out-fit was ripped jeans, a statement T-shirt and white, slip-on Vans.

She loved bright colors and “secretly” loved pink, her mom said. “She taught me to let it go and be wild, be spontaneous.”

Hailea Tomlinson, Kirsten’s younger sister, said she learned to look at things differently, not just one side of a situation, but all sides.

“She was passionate about her friends,” Hailea said. “She always had people’s backs.”

Kirsten loved being in front of the camera and the camera loved her.

“When she was in California, we had almost a 200-day streak on Snapchat, sending pic-tures back and forth,” Jillian said.

“No matter what she was going through, she wanted to make sure you were OK and happy,” Lacie said. “She was one of the sweetest peo-ple, always a big smile, always laughing. Her energy lit up the room.”

A celebration of life is from 4 to 8 p.m. Sat-urday, July 11 at Little Springs Park in Crystal River, next to city hall.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSan-tis trimmed $1 billion from Florida’s fiscal year 2021 budget before signing it, but surviving the gover-nor’s cuts was a $90 million allocation for Florida’s most ambitious highway project since the 1950s.

Multi-use Corridors of Regional Economic Signif-icance (M-CORES) is a $10 billion plan to build 340 miles of new toll roads by 2030. It was initiated with the adoption of Sen-ate Bill 7068 in 2019.

Supporters, including the Florida Chamber of Commerce and other busi-ness interests, say M-CORES will boost rural economies, alleviate urban congestion, improve evacu-ation routes and install in-ternet services in underserved areas.

M-CORES is widely op-posed, however, including by the 80-member No Roads to Ruin coalition spearheaded by Sierra Club, the Conservancy of Southwest Florida, Florida Policy Institute, Conserva-tion Foundation of the Gulf Coast and League of Women Voters.

Critics contend the toll road corridors will tra-verse fragile wetlands, pro-mote sprawl and imperil endangered species, such as the Florida panther, and is a scheme to open envi-ronmentally sensitive areas to development.

A priority for Senate President Bill Galvano, R-Bradenton, M-CORES outlines construction of the 150-mile South-west-Central Florida Con-nector from Lakeland to Naples; the Suncoast Con-nector, a 40-mile span link-ing Florida Turnpike and

I-75 with Suncoast Park-way; and the Northern Turnpike Connector, which would extend Suncoast Parkway 150 miles north to Georgia. The Suncoast Parkway is currently being extended to State Road 44 in Citrus County.

Construction begins in 2022 and is scheduled to end in 2030. M-CORES will be funded through license plate tag revenues — $1.1 billion over a decade to finance a bond to pay for the projects; estimates top $10 billion.

SB 7068, sponsored by Sen. Tom Lee, R-Brandon, passed the House, 76-36, and was adopted by the Senate in a 37-1 vote.

Under SB 7068, M-CORES received $45 million in fiscal year 2020 to form three task forces to study the pro-posal in workshops and public hearings. It is

statutorily guaranteed to receive $135 million in fis-cal 2022 and $140 million annually through fiscal 2030, totaling $1.1 billion, unless lawmakers amend the bill.

M-CORES could be nixed by the Florida Department of Transportation (DOT) or lawmakers for financial and environmental concerns, but critics said lawmakers are moving forward as if it is a done deal despite SB 7068 stipulating funding be eval-uated annually based on input from three regional task forces.

The 38-member South-west-Central Florida Con-nector Task Force, 41-member Suncoast Con-nector Task Force and 39-member Northern Turnpike Connector Task Force have been meeting since September.

The task forces include

representatives of state agencies, water manage-ment districts, regional planning councils, local governments, nonprofits, the Florida Chamber of Commerce, Florida Farm Bureau Federation, busi-nesses and environmental groups.

Only lawmakers can change M-CORES funding by amending SB 7068, which they did this session, pushing the Oct. 1 deadline for task force reports back six weeks and, apparently, committing at least $200 million more than ap-proved last year.

SB 7068 outlined $393 million in M-CORES planning through 2024. This year’s budget ap-proves $595 million in M-CORES-related spend-ing through 2024 and an additional $142 million in 2025.

Assistance with utility bill payments

Citrus County Housing Services continues to as-sist low-income residents with their utility bill payments.

The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) helps low-income families with home heating and cooling costs.

LIHEAP is not designed to pay a household’s total energy costs, but to pro-vide supplemental assis-tance. Ordinarily, applications for LIHEAP are accepted by appoint-ment only due to the de-mand for assistance.

For more information, call 352-527-7520 between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

LIHEAP is funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Police: Florida jogger discovers

human headST. PETERSBURG — A

Florida woman discovered a human head on the side of the road while out jog-ging Tuesday morning, ac-cording to authorities.

St. Petersburg police were called to the scene after 7 a.m., the department said. The remains were in a grassy area between the sidewalk and the edge of the road, just west of an in-terstate overpass, The Tampa Bay Times reported.

Investigators could not immediately determine the person’s gender or race, the newspaper quoted po-lice spokeswoman Yolanda Fernandez as saying.

Felons cannot vote in primariesStatus for November elections uncertain

John haugheyThe Center Square

The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has

approved Florida’s request for a full-court hearing of its arguments against a federal judge’s repeal of a state law that mandates felons pay legal obligations before their vot-ing rights are restored.

The court also granted Gov. Ron DeSantis’ motion for a stay, suspending U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle’s ruling in May that 2019’s Senate Bill 7066 was unconstitutional, allowing Florida’s 1.4 million felons to vote in

2020 elections.That stay will be in place Aug. 11, when the

court convenes to hear the state’s appeal, meaning felons cannot register by the July 20 deadline for the Aug. 18 state primaries.

If a ruling is not issued by Oct. 5, the 774,000 Florida felons projected as likely to vote also will miss the registration deadline for Novem-ber’s general election.

Today’s HOROSCOPES

Today is Wednesday, July 8, the 190th day of 2020. There are 176 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight: On July 8, 2000, Venus Williams

beat Lindsay Davenport 6-3, 7-6 (3) for her first Grand Slam title, be-coming the first Black female cham-pion at Wimbledon since Althea Gibson in 1957-58.

On this date: In 1889, The Wall Street Journal

was first published. In 2012, Roger Federer equaled

Pete Sampras’ record of seven men’s singles titles at the All En-gland Club and won his 17th Grand Slam title overall, beating Andy Murray 4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4.

In 2018, divers rescued four of the 12 boys who’d been trapped in a flooded cave in northern Thailand with their soccer coach for more than two weeks. (The remaining eight boys and their coach were rescued over the next two days.)

Ten years ago: During an ESPN prime-time special, basketball free agent LeBron James announced he was leaving the Cleveland Cava-liers to join the Miami Heat.

Five years ago: Medicare said it planned to pay doctors to counsel patients about end-of-life care, the same idea that sparked accusa-tions of “death panels” and fanned a political furor around President Barack Obama’s health care law.

One year ago: Billionaire finan-cier Jeffrey Epstein was charged with sexually abusing dozens of un-derage girls; the newly unsealed federal indictment came more than a decade after he secretly cut a deal with federal prosecutors to dis-pose of nearly identical allegations. (Epstein was found unresponsive in his jail cell a month later; the medi-cal examiner ruled the death a suicide.)

Today’s Birthdays: Actress Kim Darby is 73. Children’s performer Raffi is 72. Celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck is 71. Actress Anjelica Huston is 69. Actor Kevin Bacon is 62. Country singer Toby Keith is 59. Actor Jaden Smith is 22.

EntErtainmEntAt libel trial, Depp

blasts Amber Heard’s ‘sick’ abuse claimLONDON — Johnny Depp

said Tuesday that ex-wife Amber Heard had made “sick” claims of abuse and falsely branded him a monster, as the actor testified in a U.K. libel case that hinges on who was the ag-gressor in the celebrity couple’s violent, toxic relationship

Depp is suing British tabloid The Sun over an April 2018 story headlined “Potty — How can JK Rowling be ‘genuinely happy’ casting wife beater Johnny Depp in the new Fantastic Beasts film?” The newspaper’s lawyers plan to use Heard’s allegations of abuse by Depp to defend the “wife beater” claim.

The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star strongly denies Heard’s claims that he assaulted her during their tempestuous mar-riage, and is suing The Sun’s publisher, News Group Newspa-pers, and its executive editor, Dan Wootton.

“These sick claims are totally untrue,” Depp said in a written witness statement, adding that Heard’s allegations hurt his ca-reer and had “been a constant issue in my casting.”

A three-week trial over his libel claims opened Tuesday at the High Court in London. It is one of the first major cases to be held in person since Britain began to lift its coronavirus lockdown.

Depp entered the witness box of the wood-paneled courtroom wearing a dark suit and tie, and began by taking the court oath and giving his full name: John Christopher Depp II.

He told the court that Heard had “said to the world that she was in fear of her life from me, and I had been this horrible

monster, if you will. Which was not the case.”

Depp, 57, and Heard, 34, met on the set of the 2011 comedy “The Rum Diary” and married in Los Angeles in February 2015. They divorced in 2017, and now bitterly accuse one another of abuse.

While Heard isn’t on trial, the case is also a showdown be-tween the former spouses, who accuse each other of being con-trolling, violent and deceitful. It is set to put the two performers’ complex private lives under a microscope.

The Sun’s defense relies on Heard’s allegations of 14 inci-dents of violence by Depp be-tween 2013 and 2016, in locations including Los Angeles, Australia, Japan, the Bahamas and a chartered jet.

Heard is due to give evidence later in the trial. Depp’s lawyer, David Sherborne, said Heard had recently asked that one alle-gation be heard in private “be-cause of its supposedly horrific nature.”

Venice Film Festival forges ahead with

reduced lineup The show will go on for the

Venice Film Festival in Septem-ber, but with a few modifications due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Organizers said Tuesday that they are pushing forward with plans for its 77th installment, which will include a slightly re-duced number of films in the main competition as well as some out-door and virtual screenings. If the schedule stays intact, it will be the first major film festival since COVID-19 essentially shut down the industry in mid-March.

There will still be 50 to 55 films in the official selection, which will be announced on July 28, and screenings will take place in the traditional venues as well as two outdoor arenas (at the Giardini della Biennale and a skating rink on the Lido) with ad-opted safety measures estab-lished by authorities.

The Venice Film Festival runs from Sept. 2-12.

Frink said his proposals, which apply to just commercial kayak vendors, will provide a frame-work for the city to fine tune.

They won’t provide a quick or certain fix, Frink said, but will help ease an overcrowding of paddlecraft launching into nar-row canals alongside boats, and gain additional revenue for the city to manage influxes of tourism.

“Businesses are using city launches with virtually no restric-tions and no costs,” he said. “The physical impact is huge and the industry is contributing nothing to the city to manage this.”

Frink wants to phase his plan in short-term, midterm and long-term time-frames.

Under Frink’s plan, all com-mercial kayak business licensed in the city would launch from Kings Bay Park by Aug. 7, sparing the city’s Hunter Springs Park, its adjacent cove and surrounding neighborhood from kayak and traffic congestion.

Hunter Springs Kayak owners Dave Perry, echoed by Engiles and other local tour operators chiming in, said Kings Bay Park’s

docks and launches are treacher-ous for guests, especially those paddle-boarding.

“It’s a miracle the city hasn’t been sued over this thus far,” Perry said, adding those launch-ing from Kings Bay Park are also in close contact with passing boats.

If there’s a safety concern, Frink said, the city won’t institute those components of the plan until they’re addressed.

Northwest Third Street, the road leading into Kings Bay Park, would be modified into a one-way loop, allowing kayak companies to quickly drop off and load cli-ents, Frink said.

Several fenced-in corrals would be built near Kings Bay Park’s three existing launches for kayak-rental companies to store their gear.

Board Vice Chair Phillis Ro-setti and Perry asked Frink if un-loading zones could be closer to the corrals and launches, keeping pedestrians away from motorists.

In one to four months, Frink wants Crystal River to pass a res-olution establishing a $10 fee for each commercial vessel to launch, regardless if the customer rented one for private use.

Collected revenue would pay for park improvements and even-tual full-time staff to monitor

kayak launches, Frink said.Frink said kayak vendors would

purchase city wristbands for cus-tomers to wear in order to launch. Each commercial paddlecraft would also be marked to ID it with its business.

Engiles and Mozo suggested the city look into digitizing how it monitors commercial kayakers who paid the fee, like with bar-code scanners and cellphone applications.

Board members Rosetti and Lynn Marcum were also in favor of charging noncommercial, out-of-city guests to launch from city parks.

Crystal River would also re-quire businesses to show a safety video to their customers before they launch.

Frink’s proposed resolution would also punish violating busi-nesses and revoke their ability to launch from city ramps, following an appeal.

Kayak business owners told Frink they’re worried the fees could be too steep for families to afford, especially if they’re rent-ing more than one vessel.

Crystal River Kayak Company owner Mary Morgan and River Sa-faris Operations Manager Brandie Wooten said they pay various pre-miums for running manatee-view-ing tours, and kayak companies can

afford them as well.Frink said the resolution would

also allow the city to bid out cor-rals for businesses to rent annu-ally at monthly rates of $750 and $1,500.

Angela Ward said her small 19-vessel paddlecraft business can’t afford those rates. Frink said kayak vendors might not need to use the corrals if they’re quick enough in moving clients.

Within a year, Frink wants to renovate a city storage shed at the park into an office for staff and kayak welcome center, and install signage on area waters to better guide visiting kayakers.

Crystal River would also lobby Florida lawmakers for anchoring- exclusion zones in King’s Bay, keeping boats from anchoring in waterway chokepoints used by kayaks and swimmers, Frink said.

Frink said the city would like to collect as much data on commer-cial kayakers as possible to learn when to pause launches from Kings Bay Park if paddlecrafts are crowding local waters too much.

Perry, joined by others, said he was pleased about Frink’s first steps but cautioned city staff not to make knee-jerk reactions based on observational data.

“I think we’ve got some good stuff here,” he said, “but I’m very nervous about this stuff as well.”

Mathilda Stone, 87

Mathilda “Tillie” Stone, aged 87, passed away on July 4, 2020 after a battle

with kid-ney dis-ease. She was sur-rounded by her family.

She was born to the late Lewis and

Mary Hancock on June 11, 1933 in Hudson, FL. She graduated from The Sa-cred Heart Academy in Tampa, in 1949. From there Tillie went on to be a bookkeeper. In 1953, she married the love of her life, her “hunk”, Lyman “Rocky” Stone. He passed away in 2010. Together they built a loving family.

Tillie is survived by sons Martin, Michael (Julia), Douglas (Shelly), Gerard (Beth), and daughters Ra-chel Ewing (Butch), and Rose Schellinger (Mark). She had 18 grandchildren (one on the way), and 24 great grandchildren. She is preceded in death by brothers Lewis and Wil-liam, and by sisters Blanche Hatch, Mary God-win, and Ethel Barthle.

Tillie was a devout Cath-olic. Wherever she lived, she always found her way into the choir. She loved to sing. She also loved to cro-chet, sew and cook. She was a member of the Hon-eybees Craft Club in Inver-ness before she moved to Dunnellon when her health declined. Tillie had

a heart of service, whether to her family or church. She was always found in the middle of family gath-erings making sure every-one was taken care of and had everything they needed. Tillie was often heard telling people to “have a safe way home.” She would tell her family, “I’ve loved you longer.”

The viewing for Tillie will be a Charles Davis Fu-neral Home in Inverness on July 9, 2020 from 6:00pm to 8:00pm. A Mass of Christian Burial will be at St Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish in Citrus Springs on July 10, 2020 at 10:00 am. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in honor of Tillie to HPH Hospice 2939 Gulf to Lake Hwy, Lecanto FL 34461.

ObituariesDeVos rejects part-time reopening for schools

Collin BinkleyAP education writer

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos on Tuesday assailed plans by some local districts to offer in-person instruction only a few days a week and said schools must be “fully operational” even amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Anything less, she says, would fail stu-dents and taxpayers.

DeVos made the comments during a call with governors as the Trump ad-ministration launched an all-out effort to get schools and colleges to reopen. Audio of the call was obtained by The Associated Press.

“Ultimately, it’s not a matter of if schools need to open, it’s a matter of how. School must reopen, they must be fully operational. And how that happens is best left to education and community leaders,” DeVos told governors.

President Donald Trump has insisted that schools and colleges return to in-person instruction as soon as possi-ble. Trump said Monday on Twitter that Democrats want to keep schools closed “for political reasons, not for health reasons.”

“They think it will help them in No-vember. Wrong, the people get it!”

Trump tweeted.In making its case to reopen schools,

the Trump administration has argued that keeping students at home carries greater risks than any tied to the coro-navirus. Health officials say students need to be in school to continue their educational development and to access meal programs and services for mental and behavioral health.

But some are calling for greater cau-tion as schools plan for the fall. Arne Duncan, who served as Education Sec-retary under former President Barack Obama, has said the focus should be on making sure students can return safely.

“We all want children to go back to school,” Duncan said on Twitter. “The question is whether we care enough about our children to ALLOW them to go to school safely. Our behavior, our commitment to shared sacrifice — or our selfishness — will determine what happens this fall for kids.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention put out guidance for schools last month, including staggering sched-ules, spreading out desks, having meals in classrooms instead of the cafeteria, adding physical barriers between bath-room sinks and cleaning and disinfect-ing surfaces.

Heat will stay stuck on extra high for JulySeth BorenStein

AP science writer

The heat is on. And for most of America it’ll stay on through the rest of the month and maybe longer, meteorologists say.

Widespread and pro-longed extreme heat is baking the contiguous United States and meteo-rologists see no relief in sight, except for a brief time in a corner of the Pa-cific Northwest. Next week is likely to be worse than this week. And the entire Lower 48 states and Alaska are likely to be warmer than normal for the last two weeks of July, traditionally the hottest time of year, according to the National Weather Ser-vice’s Climate Prediction Center.

“It’s very widespread and it’s going to be very long lasting,” said Jeff Mas-ters, founder of Weather Underground and now a meteorologist at Yale Cli-mate Connections. “It’s not a record-breaking heat wave, but it is notable for

its persistence.”This is a dangerous type

of heat where people need to be careful about heat stroke, stay indoors and drink plenty of water, me-teorologists said.

The National Weather Service warned of exces-sive heat on Tuesday for 18 million people, but that’s nothing compared to what’s coming up.

At the end of this week, much of the nation will likely be passing or flirting with temperatures in the 90s. And it will likely feel even hotter in the South.

Charleston, South Caro-lina, likely will feel 105 on Friday and then 108 on Saturday. Little Rock is forecast to feel like 107 and 109 on Friday and Sat-urday. Houston should feel like 109 Friday through Sunday. Phoenix is forecast to feel like 108 on Friday and 110 on Sat-urday and Sunday.

Then it goes up a notch more.

Next week, while close to two-thirds of the coun-try will be warmer than

normal, about 40% of the Lower 48 has a moderate risk of extreme and dan-gerous heat, said Climate Prediction Center meteo-rologist Matthew Rosencrans.

Next week, Wisconsin could be battling it out with the Southeast for the nation’s hottest feels-like temperature — which fac-tors in humidity — with heat indices pushing past 100, Rosencrans said. And the worst prolonged heat looks to be around west-ern Nebraska, Oklahoma and the Texas panhandle, with temperatures ap-proaching 110, but without the sticky humidity.

In Miami, which has ex-perienced its hottest stretch on record, an un-usually hot Atlantic Ocean is adding to the problem, not allowing it to cool below 80 at night, said Ryan Maue, a private me-teorologist for BAM forecasts.

Masters said there’s “very toasty water pretty much everywhere,” ex-cept near Greenland.

MENOn Wednesday, July 1, 2020, the Citrus Hills Men’s Golf Association played its weekly game on the Oaks course. Nine teams played this week’s game of “Bak-er’s Dozen.” Scoring is done by taking the net scores on each hole for all four play-ers on the team and comparing each to par. Adding the four scores gives the total for that hole. The total game score is com-puted by taking the 12 best scores plus the score on the No. 1 handicap hole = 13 scores = baker’s dozen. Game results gave the following places:First -7Peter Bockairo, Peter Lindley,Curt MeslerSecond -7John Nagle, Steve Keen,Cliff Marshal, Sam SteckerThird -6Tom Halloran, Richard Hurley,Bruce Cohoon, Henry HuntsberryFourth -6Jay Vecchiarelli, Jim Remler,John Goodall, Ken GerrlingNotable Scores:Scott Steffens 78Don Morrison 79The Citrus Hills Bad Golfers Association (BGA) league played their annual 4th of July tournament on Friday, July 3, with exciting fanfare and ceremony. So many players dressed in 4th of July themes that it was hard to pick a winner of best dressed. In the end, Spurgeon Young-blood took away the honors with Sam Stecker coming in 2nd and Bob Keller in 3rd place. After the ceremonial awards and pictures, the Pledge of Allegiance was said by all and the game ensued. This year we played a special theme-game in honor of our country. It was dubbed the Red, White and Blue game. For each hole sporting a Red flag (close to the front of the green), one net score was required. For White flagged greens (yellow flag on most courses – middle location), two net scores were required and for greens with Blue flags (back location), three scores were required. All holes were a “Plus,” which means that any additional players with a net birdie or better beyond the re-quired scorers could add their bonus points to the team total for that hole. The results were as follows:First -22Larry Jones, Jim Brown,John Keller, Spurgeon Youngblood

Florida’s Mann returning for sophomore year

GAINESVILLE — Florida guard Tre Mann is returning for his sophomore season.

Mann withdrew his name from the NBA draft Tuesday and plans to stay in school at least another year, a significant and somewhat expected devel-opment for fifth-year coach Mike White.

Mann surprised the Ga-tors by announcing in late

April he planned to explore his professional options. He averaged 5.3 points off the bench as a freshman. But once starting point guard Andrew Nembhard opted to transfer — he

eventually landed at Gonzaga last month — that opened the door for Mann’s return to Gainesville.

Mann should get a shot at playing the point, although Florida also has sophomore Ques Glover and former Cleveland State standout Tyree Appleby at the all-important position. Appleby averaged 17.2 points and 5.9 assists in 2018-19 and should seemingly be a better fit than Nembhard in White’s tweaked offense that looks to be faster paced.

Two Florida starters — guard Scottie Lewis and forward Keyontae Johnson — decided to stay in college after the coronavirus pan-demic wiped out the postseason.

Yanks schedule exhibition games vs Mets, Phillies

NEW YORK — The New York Yankees

have scheduled preseason exhibitions against the crosstown Mets and Philadelphia Phillies.

The Yankees and Mets will play at Citi Field on Friday, July 18 and then at Yankee Stadium the following night. The Phillies will come to the Bronx and play the Bombers on July 20. All three games announced Tuesday will air locally on the YES Network.

The Yankees will open a pandemic-short-ened 60-game regular season against the World Series champion Nationals in Wash-ington on July 23.

NFL, NFLPA still haven’t resolved all protocols

The NFL and the NFLPA haven’t come to an agreement on all protocols for training camp and the preseason as the report date

for teams draws closer.The two sides finalized the protocols re-

garding team travel, media, and treatment re-sponse, and have also updated the facilities protocol to specifically address training camp based on recommendations from a joint com-mittee of doctors, trainers and strength coaches formed by the league and players’ union.

The league sent a 42-page memo to teams last Friday outlining those proposals. But the NFL Players Association and its president, Cleveland Browns center JC Tretter, say test-ing and the number of preseason games re-main unresolved.

Tretter reiterated that players don’t want to play any preseason games and want a 48-day training camp schedule.


SPORTS BRIEFS

Tre Mann

Associated Press

Wall Street’s recent string of big gains came to an abrupt stop Tuesday as stocks closed broadly lower following a pullback in markets overseas.

The S&P 500 fell 1.1% after spending most of the day in the red. The sell-off snapped the index’s five-day winning streak. Tech-nology stocks, banks and companies that rely on consumer spending ac-counted for a big slice of the slide, which acceler-ated toward the end of the day. Bond yields fell and the price of gold rose, an-other sign of caution in the market.

Optimism that the econ-omy is on the mend as businesses reopen has helped drive stocks higher. But the recent surge in confirmed new coronavi-rus cases has clouded hopes for a relatively quick economic turn-around. Investors are also girding for what the next few weeks will reveal about the health of corpo-rate America as compa-nies begin reporting their second-quarter results.

“It’s not unusual for these five-day runs to be met with a bout of profit- taking, especially given the headlines on the

virus,” said Quincy Krosby, chief market strategist at Prudential Financial.

The selling followed a deeper pullback in France, Germany and elsewhere after the Euro-pean Union’s executive arm said this year’s reces-sion caused by the corona-virus pandemic will be deeper than forecast. It also said next year’s ex-pected rebound could be weaker than expected.

The S&P 500 dropped 34.40 points to 3,145.32. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 396.85 points, or 1.5%, to 25,890.18. Big technology stocks helped drive early gains for the Nasdaq, but they faded by afternoon. The index came off an all-time high, losing 89.76 points, or 0.9%, to 10,343.89.

Small company stocks took the heaviest losses. The Russell 2000 index slid 26.89 points, or 1.9%, to 1,416.

The U.S. stock market has been churning over the last month, with big daily moves up and down keeping it roughly in place. It’s been a small-scale version of the mar-ket’s movements since the start of the year, when a nearly 34% plunge on wor-ries about the pandemic- caused recession quickly

gave way to a tremendous rally that brought the S&P 500 nearly back to its re-cord level.

Lifting markets higher on one end are reports showing budding im-provements in the econ-omy. The job market, retail sales and other economic indicators are all still well below where they were before the pan-demic struck. But they’ve stopped plummeting and have begun to grow again as governments relax restrictions meant to slow the spread of the coronavirus.

That’s combined with unprecedented amounts of aid from central banks and governments around the world to prop up mar-kets. It also helped send the S&P 500 up 1.6% on Monday, following up on a 4% rise the prior week, which itself helped cap the best quarter for the index since 1998.

“The economic data that has come out over the past couple of months has actu-ally beaten even the most optimistic economists, so in that scenario it’s not surprising to see a euphoria-driven rally in the market,” said Megan Horneman, director of portfolio strategy at Ver-dence Capital Advisors.

Shares in Novavax skyrocketed after the biotechnology company announced it was awarded $1.6 billion from the federal government to develop and distribute its coronavirus vaccine.

Maryland-based Novavax Inc. will receive the funds as part of the government’s Operation Warp Speed program, which is investing billions of dollars to speed the creation of COVID-19 countermeasures. The grant will be used to complete

late-stage clinical development, establish manufacturing and deliver 100 million doses of its vaccine candidate, possibly later this year, Novavax said.

“We are honored to partner with Operation Warp Speed to move our vaccine candidate forward with extraordi-nary urgency in the quest to provide vital protection to our nation’s population,” said Novavax CEO Stanley Erck.

Novavax shares soared to a nearly three-year high of $104.56 on Tuesday.

Kayak plan in the works

The Waterfronts Advisory Board meeting was held Mon-day night via webinar. Unfor-tunately, I learned about registering to speak past the noon deadline. I did, how-ever, watch the webinar in which City Manager Ken Frink proposed his short-term and long-term objectives and goals as to how the city hopes to help with the horrible con-gestion of kayaks on our wa-terways. His focus was also on safety for all those in-volved, sustainability of our natural resources and the fact the residents of Crystal River — myself included — are foot-ing the bill for the use of Hunter Springs and its launch.

Mr. Frink outlined his ideas for changes at the Kings Bay Park and launch area. He has some excellent ideas and also some areas that need to be tweaked, as one would expect with any new program that in-volves a great deal of change. Yes, fees are part of the plan, as they should be. We heard from local business owners, both tour boat guides and kayak shop owners. Differ-ences of opinions were ex-pressed, but I got the feeling everyone wants to work to-gether to come up with a plan of action that we can all live with.

As a resident who lives at one of the choke points along Hunter Springs Run, I’m very excited to see some form of action come into play. It is an extremely dangerous situa-tion out there. Powerboats, paddle craft, swimmers and alcohol simply don’t mix! The loud parties and huge gather-ings of people occur just to the east of my dock and it’s truly scary to watch. Follow-ing a few changes in the wording of the proposal, the Waterfronts Advisory Board unanimously voted to ap-prove the plan to be pre-sented to the Crystal River City Council this Monday night at their meeting. I will be there as this is an item that can not wait. Mr. Frink wants to get the ball rolling by Aug. 7 and I support him 100%.

Baird has a can-do attitude

As the Supervisor of Elec-tions for Bay County Florida for over 18 years, I take im-mense pleasure in recom-mending Maureen “Mo” Baird for the office of Super-visor of Elections in Citrus County.

Experience matters in the position of Supervisor of Elections in Citrus County at the federal, state and local level. Mo has that experience and confidence to ensure in-tegrity and security that is mandatory for all Citrus County voters.

I have worked and known Mo for many years regarding almost every aspect in elec-tions. With a can-do attitude and specific knowledge needed in Florida elections, Mo should be the next in Cit-rus County to supervise all aspects of elections, from voter registration to election results and completion of elections.

Again, I strongly recom-mend Maureen “Mo” Baird for the office of Supervisor of Election in Citrus

County, Florida.If you have any questions or

concerns, please contact my office.

County blindly following the stateI sent an email to our

county government asking why we don’t have a manda-tory mask policy. As can be seen by the letter below from County Administrator Randy Oliver, our county has de-cided to blindly follow the lead of our governor and not attempt to tailor their poli-cies to address the dangers faced by our large senior pop-ulation. Unfortunately, they appear to only care about bringing business into the county. We can only guess how much of it is coming from areas of high incidence with the virus. Seems the very least they could do is require masks in businesses to give us a small amount of protection.

“Mr. Stine, The Board of County Commissioners and the county have elected to fol-low the Orders of the Gover-nor of the State of Florida. The County has no restric-tions that are more or less stringent than those imposed by the Governor. The County, for your information, does not have an MD on staff let alone a physician with experience in disease control.

“Each individual needs to make the decision whether to wear a mask based on their own medical history, investi-gation and consultation with their medical professional as appropriate. Masks are read-ily available, however, the type and quality varies greatly (i.e. cloth mask vs N95 mask).

“I would suggest you con-tact the State Health Depart-ment or the Governor’s Office and express your thoughts.”

Crippen a man of integrity

I have known Patrick Crip-pen for two and a half years, and in this short amount of time, it is evident that he pos-sesses the ability to be our next sheriff for Citrus County.

He is a man of integrity who believes in Godly morals and the rule of law. He attends the men’s prayer breakfast every Tuesday and attends Sunday school at First Baptist Church of Inverness regularly.

I truly believe he would ful-fill his position as sheriff with complete honesty and loyalty. He would serve the constitu-ents of the county with all the respect and care they deserve.

Pastor Craig SculthorpeInverness

Where is our governor?

Why doesn’t our governor listen to the medical profes-sionals? I believe he is more interested in pleasing the White House than taking care of the people he represents.

Are we still planning on bringing 50,000 people to Jacksonville? Republican or Democrat, we should all wear a mask. We are all in this to-gether. Somehow we must also educate the Citrus County Commissioners about masks. They may think the virus is fake news.

Joe BensonHomosassa

Reconsider your position, BOCC

Why aren’t any of our repre-sentatives listening? A man-date to use masks in public is not political. It is a simple and inexpensive way to save tens of thousands of lives. President Trump and our state Rep. Ralph Massullo are both pass-ing the responsibility for the mandate to our county. There-fore, it is the responsibility of the Citrus County Board of County Commissioners to re-consider their position, as stated in the July 6 Chronicle, and act as leaders and protect their constituents. This is not a political issue; it has been rec-ognized and proven by other states that controlling the virus is critical to saving lives.

Other mandates have been accused of constraining peo-ple’s rights, but were passed because they saved lives and long-term injuries. The seat belt law saves an average of 15,000 lives each year. Re-stricting smoking in public has saved more. So, it should be simple to mandate that in public areas masks and dis-tancing become mandatory until the spread of the virus is controlled! With over 200,000 documented cases in Florida alone and 399 in our County today, we need to control the spread of the virus.

Many people do not know whether they are infected and are too selfish to wear masks in public. Please, BOCC, take this simple step to limit unnecessary contact and save our lives.

Don’t vote blue in a red state

This is a message to all you blue voters. You have fled the state you voted blue for be-cause you didn’t like the way things were going. As a result, you moved to a red state where taxes are lower, people are safer and have all their liberties and live under re-sponsible governments. I don’t blame you, lesson learned.

A wise man once said the definition of insanity to do the same thing over and over again and expect a different result. So, if you move to our red states, do us all a favor, don’t vote blue. We don’t need nor want blue government; it doesn’t work. We are happy living with our freedoms under governments that are responsible and responsive to our needs and wants. The only blue we need is our water, sky and law enforcement.

STUBBORN INSISTENCE

Sheriff’s refusal

doesn’t make him right

Florida’s Resign-to-Run statute clearly states that a person who is a

subordinate officer, deputy sheriff, or police officer must resign effective upon qualify-ing as a candidate for office, only if the candidate works for the in-cumbent and the incumbent i s s e e k i n g re-election.

If this isn’t clear enough, the Flor-ida Division of Elections Resign-to -Run reference guide further clari-fies, “So, if a deputy sheriff wishes to run for a non-sheriff office ... he or she would not have to resign.”

Nonetheless, this appar-ently was not clear enough for Sheriff Mike Prendergast rel-ative to Sheriff ’s Office Sgt. Cregg Dalton’s candidacy for Citrus County Property Appraiser.

Prendergast consulted the attorney of the nonprofit Flor-ida Sheriff ’s Association (FSA) to determine if Dalton had to submit his resignation. Why he didn’t consult Super-visor of Elections Susan Gill, a highly respected 23-year in-cumbent charged with assur-ing candidates for district and county offices meet all quali-fications, is puzzling, to say the least.

Accepting the FSA attor-ney’s ill-advice that Dalton had to submit his resignation as Gospel, Prendergast “rec-ommended” to Dalton that he submit his resignation. Dal-ton, however, withdrew it the next day after confirming with Gill that the law didn’t apply to his candidacy.

Although Gill apprised Prendergast of this fact, he still stubbornly insisted that Dalton’s resignation was re-quired. With Prendergast placing greater trust in the FSA attorney, Gill requested and received confirmation

from the Florida Division of Elections that the law did not apply to Dalton, which she forwarded to Prendergast.

Still refusing to admit he was mistaken, Prendergast

forwarded Gill’s confirmation to the FSA attorney, grasping for straws to be proven right. In-stead, the attor-ney accepted the obvious and so ad-vised Prender-gast. Only then did Prendergast relent on his ada-

mant insistence that Dalton’s resignation was required.

A Chronicle news story about Dalton’s unnecessary tribulations triggered a Chronicle guest column by Prendergast. Instead of using this opportunity to accept his mistaken reading of the law and moving on, Prendergast dug in his heels with an accu-satory defense of the indefen-sible that only confirmed the essential validity of the news story.

Ignoring the law’s intent and the FSA attorney’s mea culpa, Prendergast attempted to deflect attention from his mistake by calling the news story a “fabrication” that was “written with malice” and “a deceiving headline.”

When touting his personal, professional and legal stan-dards in the guest column, he noted, “I hold myself higher than most in all three.” Additionally, he offi-ciously asserted that officers of the state should follow his personal example of resign-ing before filing for public office, even when it’s not re-quired by the Resign-to-Run law.

As Citrus County’s chief law enforcement officer, an attitude of “I’m right, you’re wrong, end of discussion” neither serves Sheriff Pren-dergast nor the citizens of our county very well.

THE ISSUE:Florida Resign- to-Run statute.

OUR OPINION:Law’s clear

intent muddied by Sheriff

Prendergast.

Classy dressers don’t break a sweatI am just going through the

“2020 Remember When” edition in today’s paper (July 3) and it’s beautiful and I love looking at all the buildings and the people and all of that. My only question is: How did these people survive the Florida heat in such heavy cloth-ing — long-sleeve jackets, hats,

stockings, all sorts of heavy clothing items? I give them many, many props for being able to dress so classy and still not break a sweat in a photo.

Let it all hang out

I’m calling about the “Women half-dressed parading in public” article in today’s Sound Off, July 3. I just want to say I’d like to know where she came from. ... It sounds like she just woke up.

Lady, I’ve got to tell you some-thing: I’m 69, my friend’s 72 and we like to look cool, you know? I like wearing short-shorts. I wear a bikini. Even though my body doesn’t look that great in a bikini, but you know what? I just love the sun on my body. I like my short-shorts and I like those little short-short tops and I like fancy shoes and I like things that shine.

... Let it all hang out — what the heck? Wear what you’re comfortable in. This is a free country and it’s whatever we want to do with our self. I say more power to you. ... I like looking cool and my friend and I go wherever we can find the coolest things for us oldsters. It’s not just the young-sters; I see a lot of other people wearing them,

too. Get with the times.

Come together to rebuild nationI am a 55-year member

of the United Association of Plumbers & Pipe Fit-ters. My brothers and sis-ters of the piping trades have been doing a re-markable job. They are from all over America.

The U.A. workforce is essential but not dispos-able, making food and monetary donations, working tirelessly around the clock to get their jobs done. They have been building portable washing stations, installing medi-cal gas and temporary hospital tents. Ford Motor Company in Michigan is building ventilators. In Wisconsin, where I am from, workers are at the Wisconsin State Fair Ex-position Center installing 5,000 feet of oxygen piping and 296 oxygen outlets for the patients’ rooms.

The plumbers motto is to “Protect the Health of the Nation.”

We have been through wars, the Great Depres-sion, 9/11, recessions and natural disasters. We will make it through this as well. We will be the folks who will rebuild this nation.

So why don’t we all stop the name blame game and all come together to re-build this nation.

Bruce HansenLecanto

Commissioners downplay virusI’m a very irregular let-

ter writer and not nor-mally given to being critical in print of our elected officials, but

sometimes it’s really necessary.

In the June 30 article, “No cask mandate,” Jim-mie T. Smith said at the commission meeting the science is still out on the benefit of wearing masks. In a previous meeting, his “mission accomplished” remark about defeating the virus was promptly disputed by the county health director. How many national and state medical health experts and organizations does it take for him to under-stand the severity of the problem and the steps needed to stem the tide of this virus?

On the same day an ar-ticle said coronavirus cases started to spike the week of June 22-28 and saw an increase of 85 pos-itive cases. To put this week in perspective, the average for the three prior months was 66. It’s not going away, and too many of our citizens are being way too casual of not being protective of themselves or their fel-lows neighbors. The gov-ernor’s decision to open up phase 2 to save busi-nesses in no way meant throw caution to the wind with our behavior. Does Smith understand the distinction?

Of course Smith is not alone in this haywire thinking on the commis-sion. You can’t forget Ron Kitchen — who rarely agrees with Smith — who two months ago wanted to open the floodgates and took his grossly erroneous virus mortality data from a business publication. One thing they appear to have in common is taking their cue from their “no-mask-for-me higher

power” in the nation’s capital.

Michael HartneyCitrus Springs

Prendergast doing a good jobAfter reading the col-

umn from Pete Cuccaro I can only imagine that he was prompted by one of the other candidates run-ning for sheriff and not the incumbent. I appreci-ate his service in Miami, but I don’t see Citrus County as the same type of area, and it’s why I live here and not there. Per-haps his opinion carries more weight that a nor-mal citizen, but I see nothing wrong with the way Sheriff Mike Pren-dergast has led this county since he has taken office. Maybe Mr. Cuccaro should be giving advice to Miami-Dade County, which seems to have more problems than we do in Citrus County.

Robert MiltoBeverly Hills

Keep the current sheriffThere are a few things

that I want to mention as it relates to the sheriff ’s election. Do you realize how costly it is to a budget when a new sheriff is elected into office? Many items have to be pur-chased when there is a change in a sheriff — business cards, signs, logos, etc. I bring this up only as a side note that many don’t even take into consideration. The time it takes to learn a system/or-ganization. Do you think anyone can just walk into a position and know ev-erything? No.

If something isn’t broke, why fix it? Our sheriff ’s office isn’t broke, it’s been working very well. No one is perfect. No entity is perfect. So, why change the sheriff — it will cost us even more money to do that. I have prior law en-forcement experience in south Florida, and I know the importance of electing the right person for sheriff.

The current sheriff has been serving in this ca-pacity for close to four years, focusing on getting drugs out of Citrus County and has been very active in the community. He has been handling the budget in an effective manner for what he has been given.

I say there is no valid reason to get rid of the current sheriff.

Wearing a mask least we can doHats off to the Chroni-

cle for the editorial sup-porting wearing masks. I throw up my hands when it becomes political and people are so concerned about their rights. We are in the middle of a pan-demic, and it seems the least we can do is wear a mask to protect ourselves and those around us. We ask our military to go to war and possibly sacrifice their lives, and at the same time, worry about wearing a face mask. It

seems like the least thing we can do.

This pandemic is tem-porary and we need to get through it with the least amount of illness, death and business closures. Let’s all join together and follow the scientists and get through this.

We need a message of hope“American carnage”

was a descriptive term used by the president when inaugurated. The country, after three-plus years, have, as the daily new coronavirus cases and deaths are reported; as reports and videos of peaceful protesters exer-cising their constitutional rights are being sprayed with tear gas; and the list goes on. The country and its citizens need messages of hope! Please, will someone hear?

US notifies UN of withdrawal from

World Health Organization

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration has formally notified the United Nations of its withdrawal from the World Health Or-ganization, although the pullout won’t take effect until next year, meaning it could be rescinded under a new administration or if cir-cumstances change. For-mer Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, said he would re-verse the decision on his first day in office if elected.

The withdrawal notifica-tion makes good on Presi-dent Donald Trump’s vow in late May to terminate U.S. participation in the WHO, which he has harshly criti-cized for its response to the coronavirus pandemic and accused of bowing to Chi-nese influence.

At least eight Mississippi

JACKSON, Miss. — At least eight Mississippi law-makers have tested positive for the coronavirus after working for weeks in a Cap-itol where many people stood or sat close together and did not wear masks.

Among those who have publicly acknowledged hav-ing COVID-19 are Lt. Gov. Delbert Hosemann, who presides over the Senate, and House Speaker Philip Gunn.

The state health officer, Dr. Thomas Dobbs, said Tuesday there are also at least 11 other suspected cases of the virus among legislators and Capitol em-ployees. In addition, Dobbs said the highly contagious virus is spreading at parties and other social gatherings around the state.

The case needs indepen-dent verification and it’s way too soon to speculate about a possible cure, scientists cautioned.

If the Brazil man’s case is confirmed, it would be the first time HIV has been eliminated in an adult with-out a bone marrow or stem cell transplant. Independent experts want to see whether his remission lasts and for the intense drug combination that he re-ceived to undergo more testing.

Brazil’s President Bolsonaro

tests positive for COVID-19

RIO DE JANEIRO — Brazil’s President Jair Bol-sonaro said Tuesday he has tested positive for the coronavirus after months of downplaying its severity while deaths mounted rap-idly inside the country.

The 65-year-old right-wing populist who has been known to mingle in crowds without covering his face confirmed the results while wearing a mask and speak-ing to reporters huddled close in front of him in the capital, Brasilia.

He said he is taking hydroxychloroquine, the anti-malaria drug that he, like President Donald Trump, has been promoting even though it has not been proven effective against COVID-19.

McConnell eyes aidEvictions, benefits

cuts loomLisa Mascaro

AP congressional correspondent

WASHINGTON — An eviction moratorium is lifting. Extra un-employment benefits are ending. Parents are being called to work, but schools are struggling to re-open for fall as the COVID-19 cri-sis shows no signs of easing.

With Congress bracing for the next coronavirus aid package, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is outlining Republi-can priorities as earlier programs designed to ease Americans through the pandemic and eco-nomic fallout begin to expire. He is eyeing $1 trillion in new aid.

“This is not over,” McConnell said during a visit to a food pantry Monday in Louisville, Kentucky.

The GOP leader’s next virus aid package is centered on liabil-ity protections, a top priority for Republicans seeking to shield doctors, schools, businesses and others from coronavirus-related lawsuits brought by patrons claiming injuries during reopenings.

McConnell is also considering a fresh round of direct payments targeted at those earning $40,000 a year or less. He wants the liabil-ity shield to run for five years, ret-roactive to December 2019.

“Liability reform, kids in school, jobs and health care,“ he

said visiting his home state. ”That’s where the focus, it seems to me, ought to be.”

Democrats have proposed a far more ambitious aid approach in the $3 trillion House-passed coro-navirus rescue package, setting the outlines of a robust debate over how best to help Americans as COVID-19 cases surge in hot

spots nationwide, threatening public health and economic livelihoods.

Congress is away for a two-week recess, but the contours of the debate are taking shape be-fore lawmakers resume session July 20. Deadlines for many pro-grams expire by the end of the month.

Twins joined at head separated

NicoLe WiNfieLdAssociated Press

ROME — Doctors at the Vatican’s pediatric hos-pital said Tuesday they have successfully sepa-rated conjoined twins whose skulls were fused back-to-back, an exceedingly rare surgery for an equally rare congenital defect.

The twins, Ervina and Prefina Bangalo, were born June 29, 2018, in Mbaiki, Central African Re-public with their heads attached and sharing crit-ical blood vessels around their brains. Such cases of conjoined twins occur once in every 2 million births or so.

The Bambino Gesu Pediatric Hospital, which is Vatican-owned but operates within the Italian public health system, brought the twins and their mother to Italy soon after their birth. The hospital said the toddlers are recovering well a month after their third and definitive separation surgery on June 5.

Video released by the hospital showed the girls waving along to music from their beds, clapping and holding markers, as well as celebrating their second birthday in their mother’s arms as hospi-tal staff sang “Happy Birthday” to them in Italian.

The key goal of the surgery was “to obtain a sep-aration with the girls in perfect condition. So the objective we gave ourselves was very ambitious, and we did everything to reach it,” Dr. Carlo Mar-ras, chief of pediatric neurosurgery at Bambino Gesu, said.

Marras led the team that worked for nearly two years planning and executing the separation.

At a press conference to announce the outcome of the sisters’ surgery, Marras said the prognosis was “these girls can have a normal life” after a phase of rehabilitation.

Mary Trump’s book offers scathing

portrayal of President Trump

Larry NeuMeister aNd JiLL coLviN

Associated Press

NEW YORK — President Donald Trump’s niece of-fers a scathing portrayal of her uncle in a new book ob-tained by The Associated Press Tuesday that blames a toxic family for raising a narcissistic, damaged man who poses an immediate danger to the public.

Mary L. Trump, a psy-chologist, writes that Trump is a compulsive liar whose reelection would be catastrophic.

“By the time this book is published, hundreds of thousands of American lives will have been sacri-ficed on the altar of Don-ald’s hubris and willful ignorance. If he is afforded a second term, it would be the end of American De-mocracy,” she writes in “Too Much and Never Enough, How My Family Created The World’s Most Dangerous Man.”

Mary Trump is the

daughter of Trump’s older brother, Fred Jr., who died after a struggle with alco-holism in 1981 at 42. The book is the second insider account in as many months to paint a deeply unflatter-ing portrait of the president following the release of former national security adviser John Bolton’s best-seller last month.

In her book, Mary Trump, who is estranged from her uncle, makes several reve-lations, including alleging that the president paid a friend to take the SATs — a standardized test widely used for college admissions — in his place. She writes that his sister, Maryanne Trump, did his homework for him but couldn’t take his tests and he worried his grade point average, which put him far from the top of the class, would “scuttle his efforts to get accepted” into the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, which he transferred to after two years at Fordham University in the Bronx.

THE COMMUNITY

Christine MarinoStaff writer

Although historically un-conventional, it is becom-ing widely accepted to

participate in community events virtually instead of in a tradi-tional public setting, due to health concerns caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Event coordinators throughout Citrus County have been working hard to plan events online so community members can still enjoy highly anticipated annual activities and functions put on by their nonprofit organizations.

One upcoming event that will take place online instead of in a public setting this year is the Key Training Center’s 38th annual Reach for the Stars Dinner.

This year, the dinner is being referred to as the Reach for the Stars UnGala and Virtual Silent Auction. Annually, this event is hosted in an effort to raise funds for the Key Training Center (KTC) to assist those with intel-lectual and developmental disabilities.

Although it will be a different kind of experience, it is still im-portant to show support for the KTC by participating in this vir-tual event.

“Due to COVID-19, we have made a few changes in this year’s event,” said Hope Selander, de-velopment and community rela-tions manager for the Key Center. “Our UnGala and virtual silent

auction will offer guests some ac-commodations to still support the Key Training Center while safely doing so at home.”

Each participant will be able to pick up a meal at one of three locations throughout Citrus County: Angelotti’s (located in In-verness); Bubba-Que’s (located in Crystal River); or from Leon McClellan (located in the Key Training Center’s Lecanto Campus).

Throughout the event, there will be presentations of videos, including some from clients, as well as live streams that can be viewed on the Key Training Cen-ter’s Facebook page, at facebook.com/KeyTrainingCenter/.

“Typically, our Reach for the Stars Dinner Auction is a very ex-citing event that we look forward to all year,” Selander said. “Our clients showcase an entertain-ment piece and we get to speak with a lot of our supporters and community members we tend to only see at that time of year.”

Both Key Training Center event organizers and clients are looking forward to sharing an evening filled with fun, food and laughter.

“If we have learned anything throughout these last few months, it is the importance of coming together,” Selander said. “We choose to care about the people that need us to be their voice and provide ongoing care. What we at the Key Training Center recognize is that these

individuals have a lot to offer and as they may be different, they are, in a way, not easily no-ticed. They are different because of their innocence, unwavering curiosity, loving spirit and their ability to see the world differently.”

Hello again. I’ve been thinking about our wonderful pastors we’ve been blessed with in our beloved Citrus County

through the years. Each brought their own special insight of the scriptures to share with the congregation, capturing our attention, guiding our spiritual growth, inspiring us to be all that we can be with the gifts and talents given us to share with others.

I recall Pastors Ruff and Riddle at the First Presbyterian Church on South U.S. 19. Pastor Riddle founded an ecumenical group that met monthly so we could learn all about the various congregations’ missions and once a year we pre-sented a musical with various faith groups par-ticipating solos, choirs, quartets and musical instruments. We always were sad to see them go when they were called to serve another church.

The Rev. Alan Jefferson and Jo served our Crystal River United Methodist Church for 18 years and brought us through a tremendous pe-riod of growth in membership. He was a great teacher, leading Bible studies year after year with innovative programs like “Shepherding,” where members were assigned geographical areas of members to “shepherd” their needs, both physically as well as spiritually.

Wife Jo was a dedicated leader, counselor and friend to the Methodist Youth Fellowship teens. Her solos at church linger in memory. Rev. Jef-ferson was active in our community with United Way and other groups, like the fellowship of var-ious pastors who met and one of the projects was the help they gave to people who passed through our town in need of gas and a meal. He served the Crystal River High School Ath-letic Department as counselor at football games.

Recalling the Jefferson’s years with us with fondness of the luaus we had at the church, the entertainment at the fellowship suppers, the beginning of fellowship moments as members gathered on Sunday mornings for coffee and pastries prior to church, the Praise Team for-mation, the traditional service — too many pro-grams to list in the space provided.

One lingering memory stands out: Pastor Jef-ferson and a couple other male members dressed up and performing as the “Supremes” at one of our church talent shows. They were a sensation. He also gave a leading role perfor-mance in “The Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat” out at the Curtis Peterson Auditorium.

Pastor Jefferson and Jo were a dedicated couple who shared from their heart to ours and touched us with such compassionate grace.

When I think about these two churches, I’ve recalled what an amazing way pastors have in guidance, inspiration, personal counseling, being available in the hard times, bringing us through tragedies, as well as the joyful fellow-ship times. What a legacy they have left. How we grew spiritually with their leadership. How we began to realize how much more we could share with others along our journey. Today I personally salute the pastors throughout our county during the pandemic of COVID-19.

A special note: The Homosassa Lions Club will have a fundraiser yard sale from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, July 18, 2020, in the back lot of the clubhouse at 3705 S. Indiana Terrace. The sale will help fund local charitable projects, plus eye and hearing projects. For more infor-mation, call Linda Gadke at 352-621-5041.

Ruth Levins participates in a variety of proj-ects around the community. Let her know about your group’s upcoming activities by writing to P.O. Box 803, Crystal River, FL 34423.

With every-thing that is going on, it

has begun to be very hard to watch the news. There is rarely any good news on.

Two days ago, I fi-nally found some good news. Citrus County was named as

the best county in the state of Florida to re-tire. That is darn good news, as far as I am concerned. I have been ready for some good news.

Think about it. We already know how great Citrus County is, and now the

country and maybe beyond knows it as well.

We live in a small county, 582 square miles of beautiful land (773 square miles if you count the water), made up of state parks, protected forests, wetlands and

roughly 150,000 men, women and children. We have wonderful business and charita-ble organizations and most who live here take joy in being a part of making us a wonderful county

The Knights of Columbus Council 6168 Ladies Auxiliary awarded a $1,000 scholarship to Diana Ward of Inverness, a $500 scholarship to a to-be-named “returning careerist” at Withla-coochee Technical College, and another $1,400 to be shared among five Citrus County chari-table organizations.

“It’s what we do,” said Ladies Auxiliary President Tyara Otto. “Like the Knights of Columbus, we come together to socialize and work hard together for the benefit of our community.”

The $1,400 was shared by the Citrus Abuse Shelter Associa-tion, the Pregnancy and Family Life Center in Inverness, Citrus County Blessings of Lecanto, the Family Resource Center in Her-nando and the food pantry at Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church in Beverly Hills.

This year’s donations brought to more than $25,000 that the La-dies Auxiliary has given to area charities since 2007.

The returning careerist schol-arship is new since 2016. It’s given to WTC which in turn awards the money to a deserving woman undergoing training there so that she can rejoin the labor force.

Ward placed first academi-cally in her senior class at Citrus High School, a rank she earned while simultaneously earning an Associate of Arts degree from the College of Central Florida.

During the same time, she ac-cumulated a number of acco-lades. A count adds up to 24 achievements and awards in academics, athletics, church, 4-H, extracurricular and civic activities.

She listed involvement in 14 extracurricular activities over the course of her high school

years.“By volunteering I have

learned to identify needs in our community and work on solu-tions,” she wrote in an essay sub-mitted to the Ladies Auxiliary in competition for the scholarship.

Like her brother Will, Diana has been the Altar Server of the Year at Our Lady of Grace

Church. She sings in the church choir and mentors younger choir members, including her sister Grace. Her parents are Bill and Marnie Ward.

“Diana was chosen from appli-cants who were all high achiev-ers,” Tyara said. “It was a difficult decision but Diana is an exceptional, super, woman.”

Before- and after-school care

North Oak Church’s Before and After School Camp will be available for Citrus Springs Elementary School students K-fifth grade again this year when plans are con-firmed to open our schools again. There is a plan to pro-vide van service to and from Central Ridge Elementary School in Citrus Springs as well, dependent on registra-tion and need. There are 12 spots available on the van service.

Before-school care is avail-able from 7 a.m. until the school bus or the church van (for Central Ridge) picks the children up at 9 a.m. After- school care is also available and the bus or van brings the students from the school to the church campus, where they remain until parents/guardians pick them up.

It is the goal of North Oak to provide all the safety, care and assistance that families and children need. Health

precautions will be taken during this COVID crisis time based on CDC recommendations.

New programs for after- school tutoring and special activities such as music les-sons, dance, tumbling, cook-ing and other special offerings will be available based on interest. Full-day camps for school holidays and week-long school breaks will be available dependent on registration numbers for staffing. Special plans are being made for holiday camps that will have themes, fun activities and educational opportunities.

All workers are DCF screened, background checked and fully certified to work with children. Visit north oakbc.org and click on the CAMP tab for pricing and more information.

North Oak Christian Camps are located in the KIDZONE at North Oak Bap-tist Church, 9324 N. Elkcam Blvd., Citrus Springs. Regis-tration forms are available in

the church office located just west of the church sanctuary on Citrus Springs Boulevard. Call 352-489-1688 for more information.

Strike Up the Band

Mini Fact:The Old Guard Fife and DrumCorps wear uniforms like those worn by musicians in George Washington’sContinental Army.

Next Week:What is

federalism?

Marching bands are part of many Fourth of July celebrations. Let’s find out more about these talented musical groups.

Marching with the troops Marching bands began in the military. When armies had to relocate thousands of troops, the rhythm of drums helped speed up the soldiers. Because there was an exact rhythm, commanders could judge how long it would take to move the army from one place to the next. In the 1700s, some armies started using a fife, or small flute, along with the drums.

Bands march to school Later, military bands began to play more for ceremonial occasions. In the 1800s, colleges began to form bands. In the early 1900s, marching bands began performing during halftime at college football games. This was so popular that high schools

started their own bands. Today, marching band performances are favorite parts of high school games. At first, women were not allowed to belong to most bands. People thought it was improper for girls. During World War II, many women took men’s places in bands. In the 1970s, college bands started admitting women. Besides musicians, bands might include dancers, baton twirlers and color guards. Color guards don’t play instruments, but put on shows with flags or rifle props.

The leading players In schools, the band director is usually the teacher. He or she is responsible for the music and for all the musicians. He or she may also create some or all of the drill designs. Band directors may use computer programs that map out the drill designs. The drum majors are the second in command. They conduct the band when it is marching. In school bands, they are students who help carry out the duties of the band director.

The instruments The main types of marching bandinstruments are: • percussion, such as drums and cymbals, played by being struck; • brass, such as trumpets and trombones, played when musicians vibrate their lips on the mouthpiece; • woodwind, such as clarinets and saxophones, played by musicians blowing air into them.

Many instruments were designed especially for marching bands. For example, in the concert band tuba, the bell points up. But in its cousin, the sousaphone, the bell points forward so it fits better over the marcher’s shoulder. Marching styles vary with eachindividual band. Many marchingbands and drum corps mix styles. Members of drum corps usually playonly brass or percussion instruments. They may have one soloist playing a woodwind instrument. They might dance, leap and run while playing.

Words that remind us of marching bands are hidden in this puzzle. Some words are hidden backward and some letters are used twice. See if you can find:

For later:Look in your newspaper’s ads for band instruments for sale. What instrument would you like to play?

Millions of singing insects across parts of the eastern United States will soon emerge from the ground after 17 years. Cicadas are large, clear-winged insects with bulbous eyes that emerge every year or in cycles of 13 or 17 years. The cicadas’ habitat stretches from North Carolina to West Virginia, where as many as 1.5 million can surface per acre. You may have seen their brown husks on trees and other objects.

20 July 5 - 11, 2020 Viewfinder Citrus County (FL) ChroniCLe

Henry Winkler, he of “The Fonz” fame, said, “Assumptions are the termites of relationships.”

Assumptions can be the consum-ers of good results at the bridge table. In today’s deal, players who rely on a normal assumption will end poorer and wiser.

Against four spades, West leads the heart king. East overtakes with the ace and returns his second heart. West wins that trick and

shifts to the diamond nine. East plays his second ace and leads back a diamond. How should South continue?

The bidding was predictable through four spades. West had a textbook weak-three opening, showing a good seven-card suit and some 6-10 high-card points; North a fine takeout double; East a sound raise; and South an easy four-spade advance. East wondered about sac-rificing in five hearts, but the vul-nerability was unfavorable. What would have happened in five hearts doubled?

South, needing the rest of the tricks, had to find the club queen. Given that West had seven hearts and East only two, there was a nat-ural assumption that East would hold the club queen. But declarer could get the facts.

He ruffed the second diamond high (just in case West started with a singleton), drew trumps ending on the board and cashed the last diamond. What had South learned?

He had discovered that West began with one spade, seven hearts, two diamonds and, there-fore, three clubs. Declarer played a club to his king, then finessed through West.

Five hearts doubled would have cost 800 if North had led a trump at trick one (or at trick two after start-ing with the spade king).

8 p.m. on & *Tough as Nails

Executive producer Phil Ke-oghan pitched this reality competition series in a pre-pan-demic world, but it reaches the air at a time when viewers are especially aware of the “essen-tial workers” who have kept the country running during a time of widespread quarantine. The contestants are made up of

working-class Americans — a deputy sheriff, a welder, a farm-er, a firefighter and so forth — who are put through a series of on-the-job challenges to test their strength, endurance, life skills and mental toughness.

8 p.m. on (LIFE)

Married at First SightSeason 11 of this reality se-ries-cum-social experiment pre-mieres next week, but first, to-night’s “Matchmaking Special” takes fans inside the compli-cated process that factors into pairing up these strangers who will follow an unconventional path to finding love. Immedi-ately following, a new “Kickoff Special” features Kevin Frazier and a panel of insiders who take a closer look at each of this season’s five couples.

8 p.m. on (MTV)

The ChallengeAs the competition continues, one player engages in sloppy political maneuvering, while another takes a shocking gam-ble to save a friend in a new

episode called “Total Madness: Crash Into Me.” Ultimately, the remaining competitors are forced into a fight for survival in the elimination game Hall Brawl. T.J. Lavin is host.

9 p.m. on (FOOD)

Guy’s Grocery GamesIn the new “Summer Grillin’ Games Part 1,” host Guy Fieri invites eight previous winners of “Guy’s Grocery Games” to return to Flavortown Market for a summer grilling tourna-ment. Each week, one chef will be awarded “best dish,” win $5,000 and then move on to the next week’s competition while the remaining chefs duke it out.

9 p.m. on (HIST)

Forged in Fire: Beat the Judges

Season 1 of this companion program to the hit “Forged in Fire” concludes with a mu-sic-themed finale called “Rock Star Smiths,” in which the bladesmiths must slash through level one to score a chance to rock out a 9-ringed broadsword

on their home forges. One champion ultimately lands at the “top of the charts,” pitting him against one of the judges in a face-to-face showdown. If he’s able to beat that judge, he’ll go home $10,000 richer.

10 p.m. on # %China: Power and Prosperity — PBS NewsHour Presents

Foreign affairs and defense cor-respondent Nick Schifrin hosts this new one-hour special, which explores the future of China’s increasingly fractious relationship with the United States, which in turn will help determine the new international world order, which dominant technology will support the world’s communication in-frastructure and the stability of the global economy. The relationship between the two superpowers already was seen as having an outsize effect on the world at large when a pub-lic health emergency further complicated how China and America interact.

classified pages, along with Sudoku, Wordy Gurdy and a word puzzle.

Dear Annie: For 25 years, a very close cou-ple would get together

with us for a nice meal. We did lots of things including trips and outings. Eighteen months ago, my friend suddenly died. Her husband is now dating a very lovely woman (I hear), and we are glad he is happy.We expect them to travel to our area this summer, and possibly, we will go out for dinner. This feels very weird. Any sug-gestions on how to embrace this new person? — Adjust-ing to the Change

Dear Adjust-ing: I am very sorry for your loss. Adjusting to the change, and the feelings of missing your friend, creates a special challenge. If she were alive today, she would want her husband to be happy and not alone. Try and see your friend's new companion with an open heart and think about his happiness.

Dear Annie: Here are the rules I recommend for getting rid of mice:— NEVER poison an animal. Their stomachs will swell and burst, or they will hemorrhage all over their body. Think about that being done to you.— NEVER trap their feet in a sticky box to starve and thirst them to death.— NEVER drown an animal.

All this would not be nec-essary with a small amount of prevention. In my house, I keep dog food in one cooler and birdseed, grass and flower seeds in another cooler. I keep my kitchen clean. No mice.If they are coming into your garage in the fall, keep the garage door closed unless you are woodworking or in the ga-rage. My door was old, and the seal at the bottom left gaps. I put on a new seal strip, and no more mice.

Two more things:1. Possums are marsupials,

like koalas and kangaroos, not rats or rodents. They have prehensile tails and used to hang upside down in trees. They will play possum if you happen on them, unless they have young, are trapped or you come at them. They just hiss then. Mostly they play possum. They eat insects and fruits and berries.

2. Before you become a National Wildlife Habitat, check with Dad. No more use of pesticides, herbicides or nitrate fertilizers on the lawn. You could still become one, but you would be telling a lie, and what is that lesson to your children? —- Rules for Being a Kind Human

Dear Rules for Being a Kind Human: I love the message of kindness to all living things in your letter. Thank you.

Dear Annie: Thank you for your expert advice and knowl-edge for caring for an elderly parent. I didn't expect my letter to be published. I had hit rock bottom when I wrote that letter. Before my letter was published today, I stopped feeling sorry for myself and got help! Your headline "Draining My Battery to Sup-port Others" was spot on. I was tapped out!

I did exactly what you mentioned in your reply as for getting home help or a nursing facility. A couple times a week, I have visiting nurses and an exercise therapist for my mother.

I am still confined, but I have some relief knowing that skilled people are doing a bet-ter job than I have done. It's working out well. Of course, my duties are still numer-ous doctor appointments a month, emergency room trips, groceries and all the things necessary to make sure she is comfortable. At 91, I know my time is limited with her. I would like to make the most of it by spending quality time with her and not being so overwhelmed with all these extra duties. — Tired and Worn Out

Dear Tired and Worn Out: Thank you for your letter. It filled me with joy to know that you took responsibility for your life and made positive changes to recharge your battery!

filled with compassionate, intelligent caring people.

We take care of our

children. We take care of our seniors. We take care of those less fortunate and help them get back on their feet.

If we could bottle up what we have here in Citrus County (and I do not mean

our fresh water), the coun-try could take a drink. Maybe their anger would somewhat diminish, and people could come together to try and work together for the betterment of all people.

We may be sheltered a bit in Citrus County from what is going on in the metropoli-tan cities, but that does not diminish the precious gift we have in our residents and the love we have for our beautiful area. We know we

are lucky, and we do the best to take care so that we never lose what we have.

Katie Lucas is the engage-ment coordinator at Home Instead Senior Care. She is

married with three children and five grandchildren and has lived in Citrus County for 30 years. She is available for speaking engagements and can be reached at 352-476-2960 or katie.lucas@ homeinstead.com.
