NEWS BRIEFS

John haugheyThe Center Square

Florida Gov. Ron DeSan-tis said the state’s revamped unemployment system has sent checks to 97.6% of nearly 900,000 “processed” claimants’ applications, paying nearly $2.7 billion since March 15.

The state’ “has paid out more (in unemployment) the last 10 weeks than it has in the previous five

years combined,” DeSan-tis said.

The governor staged a news conference Tuesday specifically to discuss the s tate ’s embatt led

unemployment system after being confronted the past week by reporters who said they’ve been del-uged by people demanding answers to why so many had not received unem-ployment payments.

DeSantis went through the on-the-run changes he has initiated after inherit-ing a $77 million system from his predecessor and now U.S. Sen. Rick Scott that he’s described as

“designed to fail.”“We had an unprece-

dented surge of unemploy-ment claims. That was a tough challenge under any circumstance but even a greater challenge that the system the state paid a lot of money for was not up to task,” DeSantis said.

DeSantis said the CONNECT website built by DeLoitte Consulting was capable of handling 1,000 people on the site

simultaneously and could boost-up to 5,000, but when the response to the COVID-19 emergency forced businesses to shut down, it was over-whelmed by hundreds of thousands — now nearly 2 million — jobless Floridians.

The CONNECT system was “the equivalent of throwing a jalopy into the

The lack of rain has had a predictable effect on local lakes and the Withlacoochee River.

So far this year, Citrus County

has received less than half the historical average rainfall for January through May, according to Dr. Mark Fulkerson, senior professional engineer with the Southwest Florida Water Man-agement District (SWFWMD).

Only 7.94 inches fell from Jan. 1 through May 13, accord-ing to District Hydrologic Data Manager Granville Kinsman.

The wettest month (4.78 inches) was April and the driest (0.10 inches) was March.

Citrus only received 0.01 inches of rain from May 1 to May 13.

“Two of the past three months we’ve recorded essentially no rainfall in Citrus County,”

Lake levels drop during dry spell

MATTHEW BECK/ChronicleLack of rainfall through the early part of the springtime has left area lakes, like Lake Henderson in Inverness, low. Many hope the coming rainy season will help improve the low-water conditions.

Anticipating that Inver-ness will grow, and with it the demand for the city’s utility services, the Inver-ness council unanimously agreed this week to approve a $155,250 deal with its

private utility operators to lay out the utility’s capital improvement needs for the next several years.

In addition to wanting a capital investment plan, the council also agreed to direct North Carolina- based Kimley Horn and Associates to update its

expired service area agreement with the county.

“The city is growing every day and enjoys a high focus of investment for development / redevelopment opportuni-ties due to the decades of good planning and growth management by the city

government,” City Man-ager Eric Williams said. “In order to properly con-tinue forward, the need to engage with an expert firm for master planning pur-poses is upon us.”

While updating the capi-tal needs of the city’s utili-ties is important, the focus

now should also be updat-ing the utilities service agreement and outlining capital needs on that up-date, Williams told council members this week.

Fulkerson said. “Rainfall in April was very helpful to temporarily halt drop-ping water levels in March, but with essen-tially no rainfall this month, water levels are on the way back down very quickly again.”

Rainy season begins June 1 and homeowners should start seeing their parched lawns starting to spring back to life.

Tsala Apopka Chain-of-Lakes

This winter/spring has been much drier com-pared to last year and lake levels are about 16 inches lower than they were last year at this time.

In the first two months of May, levels dropped about 4 inches or twice as much as they fell over the entire month of April, ac-cording to Fulkerson.

The District has closed

all its water control struc-tures to conserve water in the lakes for the remain-der of the dry season.

Withlacoochee River

The Withlacoochee River in Citrus County also continues its dry-season decline. During the first two weeks of May, river lev-els fell about 5 inches in the area between State Roads 48 and 200.

River flows have also declined about 40% since May 1, Fulkerson said.

On average, Withla-coochee River levels near Citrus County are about 9 inches lower than they were last year at this time and flows are only about half of what they were a year ago.

Rain chances in Citrus County are slim all the way through Tuesday, ac-cording to the National Weather Service.

Trouble Understanding Family During Stay-At-Home?

WE’RE HERE TO HELP!

Joyride lands teens in legal troubleJeff Bryan

Staff writer

A pair of Citrus County teens on a late-night joyride Monday in a stolen vehicle led authorities on a high-speed chase through two counties.

They now face charges arrest after being ap-prehended by Marion County deputies along County Road 484, east of State Road 200, according to their arrest affidavits.

The two teens — a 17-year-old female and 15-year-old male — face charges in Marion County of grand theft of a motor vehicle and possession of marijuana, less

than 20 grams. The 15-year-old was also charged with fleeing/eluding law enforcement and op-erating a motor vehicle without a valid license.

The Chronicle is withholding the name of the two teens because they are minors.

The two reported they had stolen their parent’s minivan so they could drive to Miami and buy drugs, according to a M a r i o n County Sher-

iff’s Office spokeswoman.Here’s how the events began:

At approximately 11:36 p.m., Mar-ion County deputies were notified by Citrus County law enforcement authorities they were in pursuit

of a stolen vehicle, a red Dodge Caravan, which was entering Marion County.

When Cpl. Bryan Bowman began pursuit at the intersection of State Road 200 and County Road 484, the Caravan, driven by the 15-year-old, was traveling approxi-mately 80 mph east bound on C.R. 484, the re-port stated.

Sgt. Ric Thore-sen was able to deploy stop sticks, flattening two of the tires on the minivan and slowing it down. This allowed Cpl. Bowman to uti-lize a PIT Maneuver to disable

the vehicle. The PIT was success-ful and the driver and passenger were removed from the vehicle during the felony stop, according

to the report.During a search

of the vehicle, deputies found a green leafy sub-stance that field tested positive for THC content. The teens told depu-ties it belonged to the both of them.

Booked into the Marion County Department of Ju-venile Justice. Ac-

cording to Cecelia Coon, Marion County spokeswoman, the teens were released Tuesday afternoon to the custody of a guardian.

Kathy Green of RE/MAX Realty One takes extra precautions

Gwen BittnerStaff writer

Selling and showcasing homes has proven to be a new, exciting challenge amid orders of social distancing and con-cerns of coronavirus.

Realtor Kathy Green, of RE/MAX Realty One in Homosassa, adapted her customer service strategy to include wearing and providing masks and gloves, and frequently wiping down surfaces to pro-tect buyers and sellers from COVID-19.

“She’s providing masks, she’s providing gloves,” Green’s Marketing Consultant Christine Bates said. “She has hand sanitizer with her at all times.”

Bates said Green has been “carrying disinfectant wipes at all showings to go through af-terwards and clean all of the areas that have been touched,

all of the surfaces that have been touched, both to protect the buyers and the sellers.”

Bates says Green adopted all CDC and RE/MAX guide-lines, and will keep the pre-cautions in place as long as necessary.

“Another fun thing we’ve done is create virtual open houses,” Bates said. “So every week-end, because we’re not hosting open houses due to 6-foot social dis-tancing, we’re doing virtual open houses online every week. Every weekend fea-tures a different house

that she has listed.”Buyers are able to check out

Green’s listings on her Face-book page, www.Facebook.com/kathygreen.realestate agent, and tour homes without ever venturing outdoors.

“They can see the rooms in the house, they can see the specs for the house and the

price too,” Bates said. “We did this in response to COVID-19 for precautionary measures, choosing not to do live open houses or typical open houses.”

Green began showcasing vir-tually on April 10, and the dig-ital showings have proven to be rather popular with nearly 10K views.

Bates said when Gov. Ron DeSantis first enacted the COVID-19 stay-at-home order Green’s showings and sales changed, but not drastically.

“It did slow but it has re-mained active,” Bates said. “It has recently become much busier again. There was a lull after the stay-at-home orders were first requested, and then it became very busy again here in the past week.”

“She had listings and ap-pointments and sales through-out the entire period,” Bates said. “It wrapping up to be strong.”

Bates says Green’s biggest

COVID-19 challenge has been “just really making sure that we were completely up-to-date with precautionary measures and doing the absolute best to keep clients safe.”

Green has been a Realtor for 14 years, joining RE/MAX Re-alty One in Homosassa during October of 2019.

She is eager to work with new buyers and sellers, and expects to continue to serve the Citrus County community over the coming years.

RE/MAX Realty One in Ho-mosassa is located at 8375 S. Suncoast Blvd. Contact Kathy Green at 352-325-5525, 352-628-7800 or kathleenlg481@gmail.com. For more information, visit www.kathygreensells homes.com.

Let’s Go Today Travel seeing rise in bookingsMichael D. Bates

Staff writer

Diana Kreisle, owner of Let’s Go Today Travel, is the sole employee at her 14-year-old Crystal River business.

During the state stay-at-home order, Kreisle said she took care of her clients whose vacations were canceled.

“I was making sure they were either receiving fu-ture travel vouchers or re-funds, whichever they wanted,” Kreisle said. “I hope to never do as many cancellations as I’ve done in the past three months.”

Now that she’s allowed again to open, Kreisle said her biggest challenge is

trying to find availability for her clients to travel in the fall of 2020 and into spring/summer 2021.

“With so many cancella-tions this year, many are booking up the ship’s cab-ins and resort rooms for next year already,” she said.

Kreisle said she sees her travel business grow-ing in the next two years “due to the desire of peo-ple to resume their love of traveling the world to ex-perience different cul-tures and culinary delights or just to have fun on vacation.”

Destination weddings and honeymoons are two of her specialties. She ex-pects multi-generational

travel (cruise ships or re-sorts) to be on the rise coming out of the lockdown.

“Families were cooped up together and, hopefully, have found the beauty of spending quality time with (their) family,” she said.

Said Kreisle: “This down time should have been a wake-up call to those who didn’t spend enough time with their loved ones just enjoying each other’s company. I want to show them that no matter what the budget, there is a way to have a fabulous vacation together.”

Let’s Go Today Travel is located at 628 Southeast U.S. 19 in Crystal River.

EntErtainmEntDaytime Emmys back on TV, but

with socially distanced show

LOS ANGELES — The Day-time Emmy Awards are skipping a theater ceremony because of the coronavirus but the honors will be presented on a TV broadcast.

CBS’ decision to air the awards on June 26 is a bright spot for the daytime honors, which had been consigned to an online presenta-tion in recent years as viewer in-terest dwindled.

Nominations for the 47th an-nual Daytime Emmys are to be announced Thursday on CBS’ “The Talk,” with categories in-cluding best drama series, talk show and game show.

The New York-based National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, which organizes the daytime awards, had previously announced it wouldn’t hold the traditional theater ceremony out of pandemic safety concerns.

Awards will be presented on the CBS broadcast in leading catego-ries, with winners and “other spe-cial guests appearing from home in light of the COVID-19 pan-demic,” the network and academy said in a joint announcement.

Winners in other categories will be announced on Twitter during the two-hour telecast, with more awards to be pre-sented in a July ceremony, the academy said.

CBS is “thrilled to welcome back the Daytime Emmy Awards,” said Jack Sussman, the network’s executive vice president in charge of specials and live events. The network is the home of daytime shows in-cluding soap operas “The Young and the Restless” and “The Bold and the Beautiful.”

Oprah Winfrey gives grants to ‘home’ cities

during pandemicNEW YORK — Oprah Win-

frey is giving grants to the cities she’s called home through her $12 million coronavirus relief fund.

She announced Wednesday that her Oprah Winfrey Charita-ble Foundation will donate money to organizations dedi-cated to helping underserved communities in Chicago; Balti-more; Nashville, Tennessee; Mil-waukee; and Kosciusko, Mississippi, where she was born.

After speaking with Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot and other leaders, Winfrey decided to give $5 million to Live Healthy Chi-cago, which provides immediate support to seniors and high-risk

residents affected by coronavirus.In Nashville, where Winfrey

lived with her father and started her media career, she is giving $2 million to NashvilleNurtures, a collaboration with Mount Zion Baptist Church and Tennessee State University, Winfrey’s alma mater. They plan to feed 10,000 families in and around the city.

In Milwaukee, Winfrey is as-sisting those in need of housing and mental health care with a $100,000 donation to SaintA and The Nia Imani Family, Inc.

She announced her COVID-19 Relief Fund last month, ini-tially giving $1 million to America’s Food Fund. She said Wednesday that she will also give grants to advocacy organi-zation Global Citizen, New Mount Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church in Chicago and other organizations.

boundaries was devel-oped during the 1980s and was not well defined, Williams said. City staff have been working with county commission staff for the past year to better hammer out an updated agreement.

Kimley Horn, which operates the city’s utility, would help work on the service agreement and then the capital needs to service that area. Typi-cally, cities provide utility services to about 5 miles outside their city limits, but a modern service agreement is still needed with the county, Williams said.

“What does your utility service need to look like from a master plan per-spective in five, 10, and 20 years to meet the abil-ity to serve these areas?” Williams said. “It’s time we take a meaningful ap-proach to looking at the master (utility) plan.”

He told the council the city was experiencing more growth than ever in its history, seeing multi-family real estate development and com-mercial growth.

“You’re fine today,” he said. “But it’s tomorrow and the next day and the next year and next five years and the next 10 years we have to pre-pare for.”

Council members agreed.

“If we don’t do this we’re dropping the ball on leaving this place bet-ter than when we found it,” said council president Jacquie Hepfer.

In other business, the council:

n Voted unanimously to buy its fire department a new $262,000 fire truck.

Williams told the coun-cil the department, made up of three full-time, paid firefighters and the rest volunteers, had two fire trucks that originally manufactured in 1995 and 1996. The

department obtained the vehicles when the city created the department in 2015.

Williams told the coun-cil the 1996 truck was be-coming too costly to maintain. The city agreed to purchase a 2019 truck from E-One in Ocala. With truck additions E-One is offering, Wil-liams told the council the vehicle would normally cost more than $300,000. In addition, the city would sell its 1996 fire truck to E-One for $12,000.

Williams said the council is already saving money by using volun-teers and would have to double the number of its paid firefighters if it were not for its volunteers.

n Williams told the council there are contin-ued delays in complet-ing Wallace Brooks Park’s boat rowing docks. Williams told the council that a modest design change was made and the city will have to wait for state officials to approve the change. He predicts the state will approve the change in four weeks and the boat rowing dock on Big lake Henderson will be com-pleted by July 1.

n Agreed to keep its playgrounds closed until it gets further guidance from state officials. How-ever, the city is allowing for the use of its ball-fields, but has yet to issue permits, Williams said. Williams said the city will develop guidelines and permits by the end of this week to ensure the ball-fields are safely used during the coronavirus pandemic.

n Williams also said he plans to have the city’s farmer’s market open by the third week-end in June and the city’s pool at Whispering Pines Park by the first week in June, but only for swimming laps.

2019 Annual Drinking Water Quality Report Ozello Water Association, Inc.

PWS 6091322 We’re pleased to present to you this year’s Annual Water Quality Report. This report is designed to inform you about the quality water and services we deliver to you every day. Our constant goal is to provide you with a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. We want you to understand the effor ts we make to continually improve the water treatment process and protect our water resources. We are committed to ensuring the quality of your water.

WATER SOURCE: The jointly owned Citrus County & Withlacoochee Regional Water Supply Authority’s Charles A. Black Central Citrus County Wellfields and Water Treatment Facility’s source of water is the Northern West-Central Groundwater Basin of the Floridian Aquifer. The water is chlorinated for disinfection purposes and distributed from three interconnected water treatment facilities consisting of eight we lls. The largest of these facilities is the Charles A. Black I Treatment Plant located in the Citrus Hill s area. In 2019 the Department of Environmental Protection performed a Source Water Assessment on Citrus County’s Charles A. Black system. The assessment was conducted to provide information about any potential sources of contamination in the vicinity of our wells. There are 4 potential sources of contamination identified for this system with a low susceptibility level. The assessment results are available on the FDEP Source Water Assessment and Protection Program website at www.dep.state.fl.us/swapp. • This report shows our water quality results and what they mean. If you have any questions about this report or concerning your water utility, please contact our Gen eral Manager Gary Bibeau at (352) 795-5331. We encourage our valued customers to be informed about their water utility. If you want to learn more, come to our office at 9769 West Ozello Trail, Crysta l River, Florida. Ozello Water Association routinely monitors for contaminants in your drinking water according to Fed eral and State laws, rules, and regulations. Except where indicated otherwise, this report is based on th e results of our monitoring for the period of January 1 to December 31, 2019. Data obtained before January 1, 2019, and presented in this report are from the most recent testing done in accordance wi th the laws, rules, and regulations. In the table below, you may find unfamiliar terms and abbreviations. To help you better understand t hese terms we’ve provided the following definitions: Maximum Contaminant Level or MCL: The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology. Action Level (AL): The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or othe r requirements that a water system must follow. Initial Distribution System Evaluation (IDSE): An important part of the Stage 2 Disinfection Byprod ucts Rule (DBPR). The IDSE is a one-time study conducted by water systems to identify distribution system locations with high concentrations of trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs). Water systems will use results from the IDSE, in conjunction with their Stage 1 DBPR compliance monitoring data, to select compliance monitoring locations for the Stage 2 DBPR. Maximum Contaminant Level Goal or MCLG: The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. Maximum residual disinfectant level or MRDL: The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of micr obial contaminants.

Maximum residual disinfectant level goal or MRDLG: The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs to not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants.

“ND” means not detected and indicates that the substance was not found by laboratory analysis.

Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/l) – one part by weight of analyte to 1 million parts by weight of the water sample.

Parts per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter (µg/l) – one part by weight of analyte to 1 billion parts by weight of the water sample.

Picocurie per liter (pCi/L) - measure of the radioactivity in water.

Millirem per year (mrem/yr) - measure of radiation absorbed by the body.

The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, pon ds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground , it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.

Contaminants that may be present in source water include: (A) Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment

plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife. (B) Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result

from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming.

(C) Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses.

(D) Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems.

(E) Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated wit h service lines and home plumbing. The Ozello Water Association is responsible for providing high qual ity drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushi ng your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concern ed about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking wa ter, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Wat er Hotline or at www.epa.gov/safewater/lead. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the EPA prescribes regulations, which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water, which must provide the same protection for public health. Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amount s of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by cal ling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791. Thank you for allowing us to continue providing your family with clean, quality water this year. In order to maintain a safe and dependable water supply, we sometimes need to make improvements that will benefit all of our customers. These improvements are sometimes reflected as rate structure adjustmen ts. Thank you for understanding.

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice ab out drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen t he risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbiological contaminants are available from the S afe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

We at Ozello Water Association would like you to understand the efforts we make to continually impro ve the water treatment process and protect our water resources. We are committed to insuring the qualit y of your water. If you have any questions or concerns about the information provided, please feel free to call any of the numbers listed.

Daytona 500,” he said.By mid-April, only

about 15% of claims had been paid, and the back-log was mushrooming.

In response, DeSantis authorized at least $100 million to upgrade the Department of Eco-nomic Opportunity’s (DEO) CONNECT website, purchased 72 servers, re-assigned 2,000 state work-ers to help and tapped Department of Manage-ment Services Secretary Jon Satter to manage it.

“The system was down 75% of the time,” he said.

DeSantis encouraged residents to file paper ap-plications that FedEx and CareerSource agreed to provide and mail for free. More than 100,000 applications have been received that way, he said.

In addition, he said, the state contracted five call centers that have trained 6,000 representatives to answer unemployment questions.

DeSantis suspended “waiting a week” and weekly recertification re-quirements imposed under the Scott adminis-tration and, rather than rely on the federal gov-ernment to confirm So-cial Security numbers, asked the state’s Depart-ment of Transportation to do so.

The governor said 391,000 applications have been rejected for an as-sortment of reasons, usu-ally because they’re incomplete, are ineligi-ble, being challenged by employers or “locked for fraudulent activity,”

which, he acknowledged, could be a result of frus-trated attempts to file.

“Sometimes, people didn’t realize they were being paid and submitted another one,” DeSantis said.

The governor cited up-dated numbers not avail-able on the DEO’s Reemployment Assis-tance Claims dashboard site as he spoke.

The DEO reported Tuesday that 1.441 of 1.585 million — or 90.9% — of “confirmed unique” claims filed by state resi-dents since March 15 had been processed, with 896,921 — or 91.4% — of “eligible claimants” hav-ing received payments totaling $2.078 billion.

More than 370,500 ap-plicants were ineligible for state and federal un-employment assistance, although DEO said some still may qualify for PUA. In addition, DeSantis maintained “99.99%” of rejected applicants failed to provide necessary in-formation, such as Social Security numbers, or filed claims being chal-lenged by employers.

According to DEO, of the $2.078 billion paid in jobless assistance to Flo-ridians through Tuesday, $840.175 million had been paid in state claims, $1.212 billion in federal unemployment compen-sation and $25.720 mil-lion in PUA.

Senate Minority Leader Audrey Gibson, D-Jacksonville, released her daily Florida Unem-ployment Benefits Watch statement shortly after DeSantis’ press confer-ence concluded: “Day 72. 665,420 Floridians still waiting for payment. #PayTheClaimsNow.”

FRESHWATERLAKE ROUSSEAU —

Bill Burgess of Lake Rous-seau RV and Fishing said bass fishing has been real good, in both quantity and quality. Look for the clearer water, use big worms and topwater baits early in the morning and late in the evening, and wait for them to come out of the grass. Bluegill are also being caught in high quantity and quality, early and late. Try crickets and wiggler worms on a bobber. Crappie are intermingled, but the bigger crappie have gone deep. Catfish are bit-ing on night crawlers and mullet, with night being the prime time.

SALTWATERKING’S BAY — Captain

Louie Argiro of Florida Fishing Adventures (352-601-1963, www.florida fishingadventures.com), based out of Pete’s Pier in Crystal River, said, “Off-shore we are still seeing good signs of gag grouper for the upcoming season. While we are gag grouper fishing we are catching cobia and red grouper as well.

“Inshore we are still having good catches of snook even though they are out of season and good catches of redfish as well. We have been using live pinfish for snook and cut pinfish for redfish. We switch to cut pinfish or cut ladyfish this time of year

because with the loads of pinfish around the man-grove island a shrimp does not last long on your hook.”

AROUND CITRUSCaptain William Toney

(352-422-4141) said, “All is fine and well here on the

Big Bend. The weekends are downright busy with anglers and boaters out at our coastal towns with boat ramps. Weekdays are better. The trout bite has been good out in the 8-foot range over broken bottom. MirrOlure Lil Johns in wa-termelon red flake or

D.O.A. C.A.L. shads in glow/goldrush bounced near the bottom will get the bite.

“Another of my favorite fish that will add some fine fillets to the fish fry is black sea bass. The legal size is 10 inches and

always a great bycatch when going after trout in the same area.

“The first part of the in-coming tide is best for red-fish and they’re liking pinfish more than shrimp. Still some nice cobia com-ing to the dock from

offshore along with some amberjack.

“Please remember this long weekend we enjoy be-cause of the men and women who gave all. Happy Memorial Day! In-coming high tide will be in the afternoon.”

Citrus County FISHING REPORTS

NCAA to lift moratorium on

workoutsThe NCAA Division I

Council voted Wednesday to lift a moratorium on vol-untary workouts by football and basketball players ef-fective June 1 as a grow-ing number of college leaders expressed confi-dence that fall sports will be possible in some form despite concerns about the coronavirus pandemic.

This decision clears the way for individual workouts by athletes, mostly on their own, subject to safety and health protocols decided by their schools or local health officials..

NCAA officials noted that the workouts could go on as long as all local, state and federal regula-tions are followed. The sta-tus of voluntary workouts for other sports will be de-termined later.

NFL reinstates Cowboys’

Aldon SmithFRISCO, Texas —

Aldon Smith will be able to take part in team activities with the Dallas Cowboys after the NFL on Wednes-day conditionally rein-stated the pass rusher from an indefinite suspen-sion for off-field issues.

Smith, who hasn’t played in an NFL game since 2015, will be able to participate in the Cowboys’ virtual offseason program starting next week. He can also meet with teammates and coaches.

SPORTS BRIEFS Hamlin gets 2nd win of season

Rain shortens Darlington

Associated Press

DARLINGTON, S.C. — Denny Hamlin won NASCAR’s first Wednes-day race since 1984 when rain stopped the event with 20 laps remaining at Darlington Raceway.

The Daytona 500 winner was out front but out of fresh tires and trying to hang on when he got unin-tended help from Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Kyle Busch. The reigning Cup champion caused Chase Elliott to crash eight laps earlier to bring out the caution.

A furious Elliott waited for Busch on the apron of the track and flipped Busch the middle finger as he passed. As NASCAR cleaned the track, it started to rain and the cars were called to pit road under red-flag.

It was an already active evening at “The Track Too Tough To Tame” as drivers were racing against the field and the weather. As the drivers sat in their cars waiting for NASCAR to pull the plug, a handful of Elliott’s crew members sat on the pit wall starring down Busch.

One of Busch’s crew members sat between them on the wall and NASCAR eventually or-dered everyone back over the wall. Eight minutes later, the race was called and Busch was greeted by Alan Gustafson, Elliott’s crew chief and Busch’s former crew chief when he drove for Hendrick Motorsports, for a

conversation between two masked competitors.

Busch immediately copped to the error.

“There’s no question I made a mistake and just misjudged the gap,” Busch said. “They are upset. They are mad. I’m not going to just go fix and go have ice cream tomorrow.”

Meanwhile, a fox was scampering across the de-serted track and Hamlin, wearing a mask that de-picted his actual smile, was having a muted cele-bration in the rain.

He walked to victory lane under a large black umbrella. It was a

1-2 finish for Joe Gibbs Racing and Toyota. Ham-lin has won three times at Darlington and has two wins this season.

The start of NASCAR’s second race back during the coronavirus pandemic was moved up an hour be-cause of poor weather, but that was then delayed nearly 90 minutes because it rained most of the day.

When the action finally began, the 310-mile affair was spirited from start to finish because drivers were unsure if they were racing to the halfway point — the mark a race be-comes official — or the distance.

NASCAR returned to ac-tion Sunday at Darlington after 10 weeks off by using a strict health protocol and limiting those in at-tendance to only the most essential for conducting a race.

Health screenings were required to enter the track and each of the 40 cars were allowed just 16 team members.

Fox Sports again broad-cast the race primarily from a studio in Charlotte, North Carolina, with just one pit reporter at Darlington. For its prerace show, drivers used varying technology to make brief appearances while sitting alone in

their motorhomes. Drivers had to travel to

the track alone, pass through a health screen-ing and then isolate before the race. They are re-quired to wear face masks.

NASCAR has an ambi-tious return plan of 20 races spanning its three national series between Sunday’s return and June 21. Spectators are not expected to be permit-ted to any of the events in this span.

Rain disrupted the schedule Tuesday night when the Xfinity Series was washed out. That race is now scheduled to be held Thursday afternoon.

Stocks closed broadly higher on Wall Street Wednesday, clawing back all their losses from a day earlier and extending their strong gains for the week.

The S&P 500 rose 1.7% as the market bounced back from a sudden drop on Tuesday that snapped the index’s three-day win-ning streak. Crude oil prices posted their fifth straight gain.

Technology, the only sec-tor that’s holding on to a gain for the year, ac-counted for much of the market’s upward move. Communications compa-nies and banks also helped drive the market higher. Major stock indexes in Eu-rope and Asia also fin-ished higher. Bond yields fell, a sign of caution in the market.

Fresh hope about a po-tential vaccine for COVID-19 and optimism that the U.S. economy will recover in the second half of the year as businesses gradu-ally reopen and stay-at-home orders aimed at stemming the spread of the coronavirus are re-laxed have spurred stocks higher this week.

“Although this is opti-mism, this is very cautious optimism,” said J.J. Kina-han, chief strategist with TD Ameritrade. “You’re

seeing people also buy bonds today. That’s very surprising seeing the stock market doing well and also seeing people buy bonds.”

The S&P 500 gained 48.67 points to 2,971.61. The Dow Jones Industrial Aver-age rose 369.04 points, or 1.5%, to 24,575.90. The Nas-daq composite, which is heavily weighted with tech-nology stocks, climbed 190.67 points, or 2.1%, to 9,375.78. Small-company stocks led the rest of the market, sending the Russell 2000 index up 39.21 points, or 3%, to 1,346.93.

With the gains so far this week, the S&P 500 has re-couped its losses from last week and is on track for its best weekly gain since early

April. The index is still down about 12% from its all-time high in February.

Investors are betting that the economy and cor-porate profits will begin to recover as the U.S. and countries around the world slowly open up again. However, concerns remain that as more peo-ple venture out it could lead to another surge in infections, potentially ush-ering in another wave of shutdowns.

“What it all comes down to is consumer spending,“ said Scott Wren, senior global market strategist at Wells Fargo Investment In-stitute. “If we’re all still sitting home in September or October, the market is going to go lower.”

Shares in Spotify jumped again on Wednesday, hitting their highest level in more than a year-and-a-half, a day after the music streaming service announced a deal for exclusive licensing rights to the Joe Rogan Experience podcast.

Spotify did not disclose the deal’s terms but said the popular “JRE” podcast would debut on its platform later this year.

Rogan, a 52-year-old comedian, started the podcast in 2009. It’s

become one of the most popular podcasts with an estimated 200 million monthly listens and views.

Spotify, which began mostly as a music streaming subscription service, has recently focused on snapping up popular podcasts. In February it acquired The Ringer, a pop-culture and sports website which produces dozens of podcasts.

Shares in Spotify rose 8.4% on Wednesday to $189.80, their highest level since September of 2018.

Suncoast Trail will extend to SR 44

On May 18, the Citrus County Chronicle online pub-lished a letter to the editor by Ben Berauer of Homosassa with the headline “Disap-pointed with bike trail extension.”

The writer claims that Flor-ida’s Turnpike Enterprise (FTE) is not building a multi-use trail into Citrus County as part of the Suncoast Parkway 2/State Road (SR) 589 Project from U.S. 98 to State Road 44.

This is not accurate.FTE is, in fact, extending

the Suncoast Trail, a part of Florida’s Statewide Green-ways and Trails System, from its current end at U.S. 98 to S.R. 44. Our website outlines details about the Suncoast Parkway 2, a four-lane toll fa-cility that extends the exist-ing Suncoast Parkway northward for 13 miles from U.S. 98 to S.R. 44 in Lecanto. The project includes new bridges, a wildlife corridor and three wildlife culverts and notes that the Suncoast Trail will be extended to S.R. 44 with a pedestrian overpass constructed over U.S. 98.

We invite anyone who wants more information about the project to visit our website at: http://www.floridasturnpike.com/suncoast2.html.

We anticipate the project will be completed in 2022.

US has higher percentage

of virus casesI wrote a letter to the

Chronicle comparing corona-virus statistics of the USA with six other countries. Four days later, I recalculated the stats, found they were much worse, so I resent the letter with the new numbers. I also noted that Judy Woodruff on PBS News Hour said that the USA had the highest per cap-ita death rate in the world, so that info was included as well. Later I found that info was incorrect. As luck would have it, I hadn’t deleted her recording. Replaying the News Hour verified she actu-ally said the USA had the highest per capita death rate in the world. It pays to verify information. Today, five days later, I again recalculated the numbers. Our death toll has risen to 79,425, which is 71,470 more than the sum of the death tolls from the six other countries.

China committed atrocities at the expense of the rest of the world. Nonetheless, many developed nations did quite well protecting their citizens from the coronavirus. Unlike the USA, their leaders lis-tened to their medical scien-tists and took immediate and well thought out steps to sig-nificant reduce the death toll. Now a key component of safely reopening our country is testing, which is unequivo-cally inadequate, regardless of what the White House claims. So, are we jumping the gun? I think Stephen Col-bert said it best. “Trump be-lieves that getting the economy moving is at this point, the only way he can get reelected, so he’s going to try to do it no matter what the risk is to Americans.”

Thank god for freedom of speech!

COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS

Expanding openings, capacities too soon is risky

Citrus leadership eager to “reopen” faster and loosen COVID-19 re-

strictions across the county took action last week to push the local economic engine forward.

County com-missioners voted unanimously May 12 to send a reso-lution to Gov. Ron DeSantis asking for Citrus to be allowed to have 50% capacity at restaurants and retail establish-ments, and allow the reopening of tattoo par-lors and vacation rentals.

The request muscled be-yond the initial restrictions of DeSantis’ Phase One re-opening guidelines, which the governor enacted on May 4 to allow select non-es-sential businesses to operate at 25% capacity. On Friday, May 15, DeSantis announced the transition to full phase one of reopening, which grants 50% capacity at restaurants and retail establishments.

The CDC currently recom-mends staying at least 6 feet away from other people to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and urges people not to gather in groups. Al-lowing restaurants and other businesses to operate at a higher capacity conflicts with those recommendations set in place by medical ex-perts. Having 50% capacity at Citrus businesses would often allow more than 10 people to gather within a confined indoor space.

That’s a risky thing to do so early in the recovery pro-cess. We need to listen to the experts and be careful.

Administer of the Citrus County Health Department Ernesto “Tito” Rubio says social distancing will be the norm for quite some time in Citrus County. COVID-19 is highly contagious and is a

more severe disease than the flu. It has killed nearly 100,000 Americans in just a handful of months.

That’s not something to balk at. Citizens and business own-

ers alike should not let their guard down just yet — the pandemic isn’t over.

While it is easy to see the plight of the economy and staggering unemployment numbers across the nation, no job or dollar is worth

risking human life over.The current state of emer-

gency is still in place, de-spite the gradual ramp up in activity across the county and slight slow of new COVID-19 infections.

It’s better to be safe than sorry. If Citrus has a spike in new positive cases, recovery will be set back again. Every-one is sick of quarantine and social distancing, but it is a necessity to prevent addi-tional deaths.

The approach to easing re-strictions should be steady as she goes. At the very least, wait a minimum of two weeks between reopening phases to see the full impact of new exposures. The incu-bation period for COVID-19 is about 14 days, meaning it can take up to two weeks for a person who is infected to display symptoms. The ex-tension of capacities and re-opening was a bit premature, because the complete data for the success of Phase One wasn’t available at the time of the appeal.

Only time will tell if local leadership is doing the right thing. There should be a bal-ance between heeding the social distancing guidelines of disease control experts and the full steam ahead ap-proach to ramping up eco-nomic activity; it should be cautious and measured.

I’d be happy for my neighbor

to mow(Re the April 30 “Hot

Corner: Mowing is Essential”): You’re probably tired of hearing people complain about why that man complained about having the grass mowed next door. I would be so happy if the person

who owned the property across the street from me would mow. He refuses. Weeds are more than 2 foot high with stickers.

All kinds of weeds grow over into my yard and I am constantly pulling them up and he refuses to do anything about his property and it’s in the city limits. It has trees on there and bushes, but he could mow it and come in and clear part of it so at least all of the weeds are not blowing onto

the neighbor across the street’s property. That gentleman who complained should be thanking God or thanking the owners that they are mowing the grass in-stead of complaining. He is very foolish.

Hot Corner: CORONAVIRUS

n I’m responding to (the May 10, Page B3) “Hot Corner: Spreading Virus,” where this per-son says we have recorded more deaths in this state as of yesterday and she or he believes that small businesses will only help spread the virus. Really? I don’t know what newspaper you’re look-ing at or if you’re watching too much TV on the news, but in Citrus County, there are only 11 deaths, which has not changed — only 11. Yes, it’s unfortunate that 11 people died, but it’s 11 since this pandemic started. It has not in-creased. It has stayed at 11. So what are you so afraid of? If you’re that afraid of the virus, live in your house like a hermit, cover your windows and stay indoors. But for those of us who want to go outdoors — regardless if we want to wear a mask or not — and enjoy ourselves, that’s our prerogative and our right and we’re not spread-ing nothing.

n I went to a restaurant and was surprised to see that the servers were not wearing masks. Al-though the restaurant was adhering to the 6-foot rule, food servers were obviously not wearing masks. I think that should be a requirement in a restaurant. I go to Publix and the employees all wear masks. At Walmart, the employees are all wearing masks. But in a food service establish-ment, they’re not wearing masks (when) han-dling my food that they’re serving to me? Obviously, the customer can’t wear a mask and eat food, but the servers, I think, should be.

n The pandemic’s been a terrible thing for America. I’m tired of reading about all the hate-ful mail from the president down to the county commissioners. This is a time for people to come together and particularly in Citrus County, that depends so heavily on tourism instead of in-dustry. When it does come back, they should be looking down the road to have enough saved for at least six to eight months in advance. It’s just my opinion.

n I would like to respond quickly to Mr. Kitch-en’s article here April 29 regarding the virus (the front-page story titled “Kitchen: I ‘would open ev-erything tomorrow’ if governor gave OK”). Evi-dently, he is not a Ph.D. or a scientist or a medical person who can say anything about what should be open or not. Evidently, he thinks

that because we have clothing at Walmart and you can buy clothes there and because they have food there that people need, but Bealls does not, so why should they be open? On top of that, maybe you don’t care about the people who live here. You definitely don’t because if you want to go out and run around and act like an idiot, you can. But if you care about people here, you would definitely do everything you could to save lives ...

n If there is even a sliver of a silver lining in this coronavirus pandemic, it would be that we are not receiving many robocalls or telemarket-ers at this time. That’s the only little relief that we’re getting right now. Stay safe and God bless.

n I’m reading a lot of angry letters and Sound Offs against Ron Kitchen, the county commissioner, and something about the com-missioner ignored an advisory group recommen-dation about social distancing and opening the parks. I was on the Citizens Advisory Committee of the MPO that dealt with transportation years ago and we voted 5-2, or was it 7-2, to put the Suncoast Parkway down on the list — around No. 6 or 7 on the list of important things to do — and Ron Kitchen did not like that and just to-tally ignored it and pushed for the Suncoast Parkway. Well, we’ll see how that goes. They think we’re going to become rich as a county be-cause it comes through. We’ll see how much it’s really used. What else are they talking about with Kitchen? He wouldn’t answer about social dis-tancing. Good luck with opening the playground and kids touching it. We’ll see what happens.

n I don’t think it’s right, with all the beauty salons in Citrus County, that some salons…don’t feel like they have to abide by the law.

n Let’s look at all the good: Everyone trying to be understanding and considerate, trying to help volunteer or donate, less traffic and much less garbage on the roadways. However, please, com-missioners, city and county leaders, enforce your own laws and take the unsightly signs down — your own and businesses. Back to the good — no dogs in stores and if people are wearing too much cologne, we don’t know because we’re wearing masks. Much love and safety…oops, I al-most said my name.

“You may differ with my choice, but not my right to choose.”— David S. Arthurs publisher emeritus

Bethany Blankley

The Center Square

In the wake of wide-spread economic shut-downs due to executive stay-at-home orders, many states failed to pre-pare and put safeguards in place to ensure the sol-vency of their Unemploy-ment Insurance (UI) programs, a new report published by the Founda-tion for Government Accountability (FGA) found.

With rising unemploy-ment costs imploding state budgets, FGA found that states that indexed, or tied their unemploy-ment benefits to their economic conditions, fared better during the coronavirus crisis than states that didn’t.

New research indicates that indexing unemploy-ment benefits to a state’s economic conditions pro-vides greater solvency for state finances.

Unemployment bene-fits should last longer when unemployment rates are high than when rates are low, FGA notes. If all states reformed their system to index ben-efits to economic condi-tions, FGA estimates doing so would increase employment by up to 1.5 million jobs.

“By indexing unem-ployment benefits to eco-nomic conditions, employers are able to hire more workers, indi-viduals move back to work more quickly, and states are better pre-pared for economic downturns,” the report states. “As a result, states

that reformed their UI programs are now better positioned to weather the current economic crisis created by COVID-19.”

FGA’s research indi-cates that states that had not reformed their UI systems were unpre-pared for even a typical economic downturn. In January 2020, 22 non- indexing states fell far short of the recom-mended unemployment trust fund solvency levels set by the U.S. Depart-ment of Labor.

Since January, state un-employment trust funds have dropped by nearly $12 billion, more quickly than at any time in his-tory, the report notes.

At the beginning of the year, states that had not reformed their UI sys-tems had just 68% of the funds needed to handle a typical downturn. Within a few months, they lost nearly 20% of their trust funds.

Trust funds fell by more than 50% in Massa-chusetts and New York; West Virginia, Illinois, and California have lost more than 40%.

States that imple-mented reforms, like Florida, Georgia and North Carolina, reported solvency levels above 100%, with funds drop-ping an average of 2.5%.

By comparison, the funds, paid for by taxes on employers, were spent eight-times faster by non-indexing states than by indexing states.

“Indexing will allow max unemployment ben-efits when necessary, like during a pandemic that forces people out of work, but ensure program

solvency long term by get-ting people back to work more quickly when the economy is strong,” Josh Waters, senior re-search fellow at FGA and co-author of the report, said. “We talk all the time about ‘saving for a rainy day,’ but tying un-employment benefits to real-time economic con-ditions is the literal per-sonification of this old adage.”

States that have tied unemployment benefits to economic conditions have reported 71% lower benefit costs, 59% lower unemployment insurance taxes, been able to get en-rollees off of the program nearly twice as fast, and have stronger funds.

State UI programs are already paying out more than four times as much as they would during a typical downturn, and states that did not index are seeking taxpayer bailouts and loans to cover their shortfalls. In California, a non- indexing state, its fund saw a 10% decrease in three months after 4.5 million people filed for unemployment.

California was the first state to take a loan from the U.S. Treasury Depart-ment. It borrowed $348 million to cover its unemployment benefits payments. The state has a “possible credit line of up to $10 billion from the U.S. Treasury Depart-ment,” Dow Jones reported.

If the loans are not paid back in a timely fashion, employers could face higher unemployment taxes when they can least afford it, FGA notes.

Report: Unemployment systems need reform

Experts say changes will be necessary to ensure solvency of cash-strapped states

Workers cheered as they enter South Dakota

pork plantSIOUX FALLS, S.D. —

Employees at a Smithfield pork processing plant in South Dakota where a coro-navirus outbreak infected over 800 people were greeted at work Wednesday with thank you signs, cheers and waves from about a dozen area residents.

“They’re putting their health at risk just like the hospital workers are to continue on with this work, so I hope they feel appreciated,” said Becky Olson, a Sioux Falls resident who held a sign outside Smithfield’s entrance.

The plant has instructed many workers to return to work this week as it looks to scale up operations by the end of the month. Masked employees streamed into the factory entrance as trucks carrying pigs rumbled past.

‘Frugal’ EU nations push back vs

French-German recovery plan

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Living up to their reputa-tions for budgetary frugality — the Netherlands, Austria, Denmark and Sweden are

working on a proposal for a European recovery fund that will have tough conditions at-tached for countries that seek financial help.

And it could derail or water down a French-German plan presented Monday that was seen as a groundbreaking way to deal with the eco-nomic fallout of the coronavi-rus crisis.

Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte on Wednesday men-tioned — but did not endorse — the French-German pro-posal for a 500 billion euro fund that would see coun-tries borrow together and make outright grants to help countries through the reces-sion. That plan, laid out by leaders Emmanuel Macron and Angela Merkel, goes be-yond an earlier rescue package.

By endorsing common borrowing and direct cash help, the French-German blueprint is viewed by some as a step toward stronger EU financial links, as the 27-country union faces chal-lenges not just from the virus crisis, but from populist forces in member countries Hungary and Poland.

Asked about it, Rutte called the Merkel-Macron suggestion, “a proposal. We’re also working on a proposal.”

MIDLAND, Mich. — Floodwa-ters surging through Central Mich-igan on Wednesday were mixing with containment ponds at a Dow Chemical Co. plant and could dis-place sediment from a down-stream Superfund site, though the company said there was no risk to people or the environment.

Dow said the ponds held only water, and it has detected no chemical releases from the plant in Midland where the company was founded, though the U.S. En-vironmental Protection Agency said state officials would evalu-ate the plant when they’re able. Once the flooding recedes, Dow will be required to assess the Su-perfund site — contaminated with dioxins the company dumped in the last century — to determine if any contamination was released, the EPA said.

Meanwhile, the Tittabawassee River crested at just over 35 feet

in Midland, about 3 feet below the forecast level.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer had warned that the city of 42,000 peo-ple could end up under 9 feet of water by Wednesday evening after floodwaters overtook two dams and forced the evacuation of about 10,000 people from their homes.

But the danger isn’t over, and Midland officials asked that resi-dents not return yet. The Na-tional Weather Service said communities farther down-stream were bracing for flooding in the coming days.

No injuries or fatalities re-lated to the flooding have been reported, Midland spokeswoman Selina Tisdale said.

Residents near the river were urged to seek higher ground fol-lowing what the National Weather Service called “cata-strophic dam failures” at the Edenville Dam, about 20 miles northwest of Midland, and the Sanford Dam, about 8 miles downriver.

Midland City Manager Brad Kaye said Wednesday that the

Sanford Dam is overflowing but that the extent of structural dam-age isn’t yet known.

If the entire dam structure were to fail, “there would be a much higher surge that will come down the river and that could raise the level much more quickly than what we’re seeing right at the moment,” Kaye said.

In nearby Edenville, Bob Yahr-markt, 79, evacuated his home along the river on Tuesday after-noon. He said he couldn’t believe what he saw when he returned Wednesday. “Just devastation,” said Yahrmarkt.

His garage, which housed tools and equipment he amassed over 70 years, was swept away. His home was heavily damaged by water: It has three levels — two beneath the main floor, which it-self was more than a foot underwater.

The river topped a previous record of 33.9 feet set in 1986, the National Weather Service said. Its flood stage is 24 feet, and it had been expected to crest at about 38 feet .

Gloria YoderTHE AMISH COOK

It was one of those nights. As soon as one child was asleep, it

seemed like another needed mama to blow a stuffy nose or something to soothe a raspy cough. Daniel had a lack of sleep and was fighting the cold himself, so I hated to bother him too much.

Groggily, I dragged myself out of bed once more, fighting some old- fashioned self-pity as I wondered if this may be the 20th or 30th time to get out of bed, and I kept wondering how the chil-dren would ever be good enough to go to church the following day.

Yes, we are having church services again with social distancing guidelines.

As I shuffled my way into the boys’ room once more, a song came to mind, “I made the night so you would trust in me ...”

Yes, Lord, thank you, I needed the reminder. Dark times like even this when I feel like I can’t go on any longer can teach me to trust you more.

By 6 o’clock, Daniel was awake and took charge of our early risers while I got some much-welcomed sleep.

A while later, I was awakened by the sweetest little choir ever. Daddy’s masculine voice blended with sweet little ones as their words sang out, “Happy Mother’s Day to you ...”

I blinked in the semi-darkness in the little boys’ room where I had fallen asleep with a little tike that had needed mama a few hours before. Yes, today is Mother’s Day. As I managed to open my eyes wide enough to get a look at them, I no-ticed how they all helped each other carry a basket with, well, with what?

By this time, I was sit-ting at the edge of the bed as I greeted the dearest little darlings with the most charming smiles ever as they gaily set the basket on my lap. First, I just had to give them each a big hug.

I didn’t expect a thing. After all, only a few weeks ago, Daniel came home from town with a foldable rocking camp chair that I’ve wanted for a long time. “Happy Early Moth-er’s Day!” he had an-nounced handing it to me.

Whatever could they have now?

“Julia, put up the blind so I can get a better look at this,” I instructed. Now, if you know me, you’ll also know that this basket of goodies meant a lot to me.

There was a big can of my favorite nuts, cashews. Promptly I opened them, took a little taste myself and gave each of the chil-dren some.

“Those are for you only,” Daniel informed me. As I write, I’m enjoy-ing them once more. Next to the cashews was a can of trail mix. On top was a note “from Baby,” with thanks to mom for endur-ing discomforts on his or her behalf.

Then there were five plums. Mmm, Daniel knows how I’ve been on a fruit roll these last months and how pears es-pecially hit the spot. To the side was a bag of ba-gels for me to enjoy with cream cheese.

Juicy, mouthwatering hamburgers are a warm weather staple that taste perfect right off the grill.Everyone can benefit from having a

tried-and-true burger recipe in his or her repertoire when entertaining a backyard full of guests for Memorial Day celebrations, or enjoying a cozy weeknight meal with the family.

Many things constitute a great burger, including flavorful meat, the right ratio of fat content, a crispy roll or bun and fresh, cold toppings and condiments.

That’s all guaranteed and more in this recipe for “The Great American Hamburger and Cheeseburger” from “Mastering the Grill: The Owner’s Manual for Outdoor Cooking” (Chronicle Books), by Andrew Schloss & David Joachim.

THE GREAT AMERICAN HAMBURGER &

CHEESEBURGER(Makes 6 servings)n 2 pounds ground beef chuck,85 percent leann 5 tablespoons ice-cold watern 1 teaspoon ketchupn 1/2 teaspoon ground black peppern Oil for coating grill graten 12 slices good-quality American,provolone, or cheddar cheese (optional)n 6 hamburger buns, splitHeat the grill to 425 degrees for gas, or

achieve light ash for charcoal or light ash for wood.

Using your hands, mix the beef, water, ketchup and pepper in a bowl until well blended; do not overmix. Using a light touch, form into 6 patties no more than 1 inch thick. Refrigerate the burgers until the grill is ready.

Brush the grill grate and coat it with oil. Put the burgers on the grill, cover and cook for 7 minutes, flipping after about 4 minutes, for medium-done (150 degrees, slightly pink). Add a minute per side for well-done (160 degrees).

If you are making cheeseburgers, put 2 slices of cheese on each burger 1 minute before the burgers are going to be done.

To toast the buns, put them cut-sides down directly over the fire for the last

minute of cooking.If serving the burgers directly from the grill,

serve on the buns. If the burgers will sit, even for a few minutes, keep the buns and the burgers separate until just before eating.

The best garnishes for burgers are the classics: a slice of ripe beefsteak tomato, a mound of sauteed onions, a leaf of romaine lettuce, a dollop of coleslaw or a few slices of dill pickles.

Fill the pockets halfway with the sauerkraut mixture. Put a stick of cheese

in the center of each and top with the remaining sauerkraut mixture. Wrap a bacon slice around each hot dog to hold it together, and secure the ends of each bacon strip with wooden toothpicks.

Put the grill screen on the grill and coat it with oil. Wait a minute or two, until the surface is hot. Grill the hot dogs until the bacon is cooked through and the hot dogs are browned on all sides, about 2 minutes per side.

To toast the buns, put them cut-sides down directly over the fire for the last minute of cooking. Serve the hot dogs on the buns.

Backyard barbecues simply would not be the same with-

out hot dogs. While many people may not eat hot dogs during much of the year, come Memorial Day and sum-mertime when the grills are fired up, hot dogs take center stage.Hot dogs make great ad-ditions to backyard bar-becues because they can be tinkered with to provide a host of differ-ent flavors. Those who really want their hot dogs to pack a flavorful punch can try the fol-lowing recipe for “Hot Dogs Stuffed with the Works” from Andrew Schloss and David Joachim’s “Mastering the Grill.”

What to eat ... a hamburger or a hot dog?

How about one of each for Memorial Day?

Color Info:

And listen to this: On a big bag of veg-gie straws, there was a note which said, “This is for when everything is going one way, and needs a quick turn-around.”

If you read between the lines, you’ll know that it is to be used when the chil-dren have an upside-down day, and mama needs another avenue to steer things in the right direction.

Picking up the pretty pink envelope, I was ready to open it when I read the words, “Open only if you are the best of the best.” My weaknesses and failures marched before me. I knew how human I was, pushing past those negatives for the moment I gave another thank-you hug and proceeded to open it.

Excitedly, the children were quick to point out where they had written in the card. Daddy had helped each child write the most fitting quotations of love and thanks from the standpoint of their unique selves, including appreciation from the foster children for all the extra time spent with them and for showing them the way to heaven.

It meant so much to me. It was hard to digest it, I simply thanked the Lord.

Believe it or not, we were all able to go to church that morning and are all doing relatively well — besides Daddy, who got a little setback when he went outside in the cool morning air to fetch the horse to hitch to our buggy to go to church.

Now, as soon as he is through with his Sunday afternoon nap, it’ll be my turn to hopefully crash out for a while.

We don’t have plans for tonight, but with it being a bit on the cool side, we probably won’t spend time outside like we usually do on Sunday nights.

I’m sure you’d enjoy our old-fash-ioned Sunday night dip. We have had this dip many more times than I could

count and it is never exactly the same, as I just dump in whatever happens to be in the fridge.

We like eating this dip with crackers, chips or our favorite, tortillas cut into wedges and deep-fried.

GLORIA’S EVERYTHING BUT THE

KITCHEN SINK DIPn 1/2 pound bacon, fried andundrained, cut into small piecesn 1 pound hamburger, fried and drainedn 1 2 pound cheese such as Velveetan 8 ounces salsan 1 2 cup barbecue saucen 1 medium onion, choppedn 1/2 green pepper, dicedn 1 teaspoon Worcestershire saucen 1/2 teaspoon onion powdern 1/2 teaspoon garlic saltn 1 teaspoon chili powdern Salt and pepper to tasteMix all together; keep dumping till the

taste strikes your fancy, you can be sure that you won’t spoil it too easily!

Other delicious items that I add sometimes are mushrooms, pepperoni slices, liquid smoke, sour cream or whatever else I may have in the fridge.

Even leftover pizza, cut into small dices, will add a yummy twist. If adding something as such, you can also dump in some pizza or spaghetti sauce if it gets too thick.

Serve with chips or crackers or whatever.

The Marquis de Vauvenargues, a French moralist, stated that great thoughts come from the heart. Pre-sumably he felt that thoughts and emotions are interconnected. How-ever, at the bridge table we should try to stop our emotions from clouding our thoughts, our judgment.

In today’s deal, South spotted the critical snippet of information that provided the key to success.

Against the contract of three no-trump, West led the heart five. What was South’s plan?

First, he tried dummy’s heart jack; maybe West had underled the king-queen. However, East pro-duced the queen. It would have been nice to duck two rounds of hearts, trying to cater to a 5-3 divi-sion with East’s having the dia-mond ace. But declarer realized if he did that, and his opponents switched to spades, he would al-most certainly fall to defeat, losing one diamond, two hearts and at least two spades.

So South won the first trick and immediately dislodged the dia-mond ace. East won with the ace, and the defenders took their three heart tricks. Then they exited in spades.

Declarer ran his diamonds, learning that West had a singleton. Then South cashed dummy’s club ace, played a club to his king and finessed dummy’s club 10 success-fully to land the contract.

“Nice guess,” said North.“Not really,” explained South. “I

knew West had started with four hearts and one diamond. If he had five spades and three clubs, surely he would have led a spade, not a heart. He must have had four cards in each black suit and an initial 4=4=1=4 distribution. Hence my play in clubs.” Thoughtful.

Season 3 of this legal drama, which opens a year after the events of Season 2, finds Joanna Chang (Kristin Kreuk) and Billy Crawford (Peter Mooney) working together in Crawford Chang, their boutique law firm. While she’s back home in Millwood for a class reunion, Joanna is approached by an old friend, Kodie Chartrand (Sera-Lys McArthur), who desper-ately needs her help: Kodie’s chil-dren have been removed from her home by the local family services department, the result of a dark conspiracy, she claims.

Joe Tessitore and professional wise guy Rob Riggle return as the on-camera commentators, with Jeannie Mai acting as the

As a contestant on Season 11 of “The Bachelor,” Kristy Katzmann didn’t succeed in finding a true love match, but she’s hoping for better luck as the female in the spotlight of this new relationship series, hosted by former “Sex and the City” star Kristin Davis. This new venture puts Katzmann in the driver’s seat, as it were, considering 15 suitors eager to pledge their love. The stakes are higher here, though, given that Katzmann also is eager to have a child soon by the man she picks.

Host Anthony Anderson (“black-ish”) returns for the Season 5 premiere of this witty reimagining of a vintage game show from the golden age of television. In each round, the celebrity panel will confront three people, all of whom claim to be the same person with some incredible talent, job or achievement. One of them is sworn to tell the truth, but the other two use every trick they can to deceive the panel as to which of them is the truth-teller.

Dear Annie: I’ve been seeing this guy, “David,” on and off for almost a

year and a half and we have this long-distance relationship going on. This is my very first relationship, but he’s been with a few women in the past. While we can’t see each other as often as we’d like, I intend to fix that this fall semester, since I’ll be transferring to a c o l l e g e that is closer to where he lives. I’m r e a l l y l o o k i n g forward to watch-ing foot-b a l l games to-g e t h e r a n d bringing him to c o l l e g e parties with me.

The bottom line is that I’ve grown to really have feelings for him. In fact, I think I love him. But sometimes when we talk, he reminds me that I’m not going to be the only woman in his life. He tells me that he plans to come home one day to children — and two women.

He says he would like to start seeing someone else while still dating me. Although it kind of breaks my heart, I’d still want to be in that relation-ship with him. I said I’d be there for him no matter what happens because I love him so much. And I said that I’m fine with another woman. But re-ally, I don’t think I am.

There are many great things about David: He does his “boy-friend duties.” He’s there for me when I’m sad, when I need to rant, when I just need to feel loved. We text each other a lot when we’re both not too busy. I know he has work, and he works on recording music after work, which can make life pretty busy. So some days we don’t talk to each other, which I totally understand.

I don’t want to let go of him because he’s become such a big part of my life already.

I want him to be happy and achieve his dream of living with two women, so I wouldn’t mind if another woman is in-volved. And if it ever got to be too much for me, I could just leave him (and take any chil-dren we have with me and be a single mom), right?

I don’t know what I really feel. I want to be with him, but I don’t want to fight for his at-tention. Am I selfish in a way for wanting my man to myself, to not have to share him with another woman? What should I do? — In Between

Dear In Between: This will never work, no matter how hard you try. You are clearly not OK with the idea of David having a second girlfriend (and who would blame you). Break it off, and the sooner the better. You’ll feel lonely for a little while, but not nearly as lonely as you would beside someone who can never love you the way that you need.

I know this is your first rela-tionship, and you can’t imag-ine yourself with anyone else. But there will be someone else — someone who will think it’s a dream come true to date just you.

Dear Annie: I received my stimulus check in my account two days ago. I feel very blessed. Though I’m not rich by any measure, I am retired, so I have a steady income, my house is paid for and I have no outstanding debt. Yes, I have expenses: I just paid almost $2,000 for car problems. But I am only losing my “cushion” during this economic crash. I’m not afraid of losing my home, struggling to feed my children or paying my bills. I am donating at least a part of my check to Dare to Care Food Bank and have challenged my friends to do the same — to do-nate to their preferred chari-ties. Will others join in? — Grateful and Want to Share

Dear Grateful: Your gener-osity is inspiring. This is a wonderful idea for those who can manage it. Thank you for writing.
