Friends say goodbye to ‘jigsaw puzzle queen’‘Gigi’ moving up North

to be with familyNaNcy KeNNedy

Staff writer

For the past 18 years, on days that the East Citrus Community Center in Inver-ness opened its doors, Germaine Beeman was there — at 8:30 a.m.

“To her, this was her job,” said Carolyn Adanti, coordinator for the county-run se-nior center.

She helped serve the daily meals, taught newcomers how to play cards and did whatever needed doing.

Now 91, Beeman, whom everyone calls “Gigi,” is also known as the “jigsaw puzzle queen,” having put together hundreds over the years, and having scores of them dis-played on the center’s walls.

“She’s been a fixture around here,” Adanti said.

NANCY KENNEDY/ChronicleA fixture at the East Citrus Community Center for the past 18 years, Germaine “Gigi” Beeman was surprised Wednesday, Aug. 12, 2020, with a drive-by farewell parade as she prepares to move back to Connecticut to be with family. “All these people — I can’t believe it,” she said.See QUEEN/Page A7

Legal battle over schools advancesJudge refuses to toss out

lawsuits concerning reopening classrooms

dara KamNews Service of Florida

TALLAHASSEE — Siding with teachers unions, a Leon County circuit judge on Friday

refused to toss out lawsuits challenging Edu-cation Commissioner Richard Corcoran’s mandate that school districts reopen class-rooms this month.

But Judge Charles Dodson said his deci-sion to deny the state’s motion to dismiss the

case doesn’t mean that the challenges to Corcoran’s July 6 emergency order will be successful.

During an hour-long video hearing, the judge also encouraged attorneys represent-ing the unions and the defendants — Gov. Ron DeSantis, Corcoran and other state education officials — to settle the dispute by Wednesday.

“This is a case that cries out for the parties to get together at this mediation and come up with an agreement. It’s a very complicated

Staff writer

Bayfront Health Seven Rivers’ new free-standing ER in Citrus Hills will open at 9 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 22, 2020, expand-ing the Crystal River hospital’s market share into the growing Citrus Hills commu-nity and establish a foothold between the county’s hospitals in Crystal River and its c o m p e t i t o r i n Inverness.

Fred HiersStaff writer

Healthcare profession-als have devoted their lives to heal

and care for the sick.Amid the pandemic, long work hours,

and countless personal sacrifices, they work feverishly to improve the health of their patients and the well-being of the county.

While all are worthy to be recognized for their commitment, and most are pri-vately by their co-workers and patients, the Citrus Chronicle publically recog-nizes Healthcare Heroes: those in their field who have demonstrated excep-tional performance in their duties and improved the well-being of our community.

This year, the Citrus Chronicle, with the support of many sponsors including HPH Hospice, Citrus Health & Rehabili-tation Center, and Gardner Audiology, selected 11 categories to spotlight and to select those most deserving of recognition.

Nominations were accepted online and in 10 categories a panel of judges re-viewed and voted on each. The Chron-cile’s readers selected the winner of the 11th category: the Reader’s Choice award.

The winners were honored Friday, Aug. 14, 2020, at the Citrus Hills Golf and Country Club as part of the Citrus County Chamber of Commerce luncheon.

Here is a portion of their stories and a few highlights.

n The Lifetime Achievement winner is Dr. Patrick Jean.

The 67-year-old Jean said one of the best things about being an emergency physician is “that you can see immediate results from your work.”

And if they return as a patient, “it’s pretty gratifying if they want to see you personally (for their care),” Jean told the Chronicle.

And in many cases he treats the chil-dren of former patients when they come to the emergency room, he said.

Jean said he became a doctor because he liked the challenge and structure of school. He became an emergency physi-cian because he saw it as the best way to help the most people.

Accepting the award Friday, he de-scribed ERs as the country’s “safety net” for many who have no other health care options. He said he would “remember the award forever.”

His parents were French and he was born in Morocco. His family moved to New York when he was 2 years old and to Florida when he was 10.

He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Florida and then graduated from UF’s school of medicine in 1980.

He worked 25 years as an ER doctor at Citrus Memorial Hospital and then two more at Bayfront Health Seven Rivers.

He now works part time at a freestanding Emergency Department at North Florida Regional Hospital in Gainesville.

He and his family live on 90 acres on the Withlacoochee River. He wanted his children to experience a rural life.

He said medicine is a gratifying pro-fession and he is happy when he watches his patients leave the ER satisfied with the help the ER staff gave them and are no longer at risk.

n The Readers’ Choice winner is Kim Rigalo.

Kim Rigalo is an account executive at Mederi Care Tenders in Inverness.

In high school, she took a certified nursing assistant course and tagged along with a CNA making her rounds. One was a quadriplegic man at home while his wife was off to work.

“It just felt so good to help somebody,” Rigalo said.

She was sold on the profession and worked for the next several years as a nurse at Citrus Health and Rehabilita-tion. And when her boss asked her to fill in as an account executive to help transi-tion patients from the hospital to getting home health care, she agreed.

At first she didn’t like it, but the next time her employer asked she gave it an-other go and took to the work and found it gratifying.

She meets with clients, often before they leave the hospital, and it’s that in-teraction that she said she loves the most about her job.

“It’s getting out and being so commu-nity oriented,” she said.

The Healthcare Heroes Readers’ Choice winner regularly goes beyond the

scope of her job to help patients making transitions, said her nomination, which also highlighted her community service.

n The Healthcare Professional winner is the Citrus County Sheriff ’s Office 911 Call Center.

When we desperately need help they are the people we call.

Those who work at the Citrus County Sheriff ’s Office 911 call center will al-ways answer those calls and send you the help you need, whether its law enforce-ment, or an ambulance, or firefighters.

“They’re the behind-the-scenes work-ers who often don’t get the recognition they deserve,” said Mike Story, CCSO communications manager. “They’re not technically classified as first responders but, in my opinion, they are. They’re the first person helping with a medical emer-gency, giving CPR instructions or other medical care over the phone. They do amazing work.

n The winner of the Physician’s Excel-lence award is Dr. Gustavo Fonseca.

Countless patients have benefitted and been given hope through the work Fon-seca and his medical partner have of-fered at the Florida Cancer Specialists and Research Institute in Lecanto. The office conducts trials with new medica-tions that often later get FDA approval, in part, because of Fonseca’s work.

“Hundreds of patients each year have benefited from Dr. Fonseca’s partnership in research with two nationally recog-nized cancer centers, whether they could pay or not,” said his nomination. “The benefit Dr. Fonseca and his partners bring to our community through these clinical trials allows medications and

innovations in treatments that usually are only available in large metropolitan cities to help patients here.”

Originally, Fonseca’s father had en-couraged him to be a doctor. Fonseca wanted to be a scientist.

Upon accepting the award, he told the audience he had become both.

“I enjoy what I do. I love this commu-nity,” he said, adding that he was thank-ful he could be the person his father wanted him to be.

n The winner of the Administrative Excellence in Healthcare award is Er-nesto Rubio, the Department of Health in Citrus County administrator.

When Rubio accepted the DOH posi-tion in 2015, he said his goal was to estab-lish relationships with other community organizations.

He said he had to because with a staff of 61 and more than 140,000 residents, living predominately in a poor, rural county, it was only through relationships that he could get residents the services they needed.

“Public health must be a grassroots community initiative, or it doesn’t work. … If I don’t succeed in forming commu-nity partnerships, we’re not going to get anything done,” he said.

As the county’s DOH administrator, Rubio created the county’s Hepatitis C treatment program for indigent clients, hired an expert lactation consultant to help new mothers with breastfeeding, in-creased HPV vaccination rates in stu-dents, started a high-risk maternity program for drug dependent pregnant women, and worked with local health-care facilities to have medical residents experience caring for patients with HIV/AIDS.

n The winner of the Advanced Care Provider award was Lauren Shaw, PA-C.

Lauren Shaw told the Chronicle she became a physician’s assistant because she wanted to work with patients. Due to the coronavirus, she more than has that opportunity.

Shaw has been a PA with Gastroenter-ology Associates in Citrus County for three years. She also took on extra shifts at Citrus Memorial Hospital. But when the pandemic hit and medical offices shutdown or curtailed many office visits, tests, and other elective procedures, Shaw increased her time at CMH.

“She didn’t have to do it,” said a Healthcare Hero judge. “She wanted to take care of COVID patients to help the community. She chose to go and chose to take the risk.”

n The winner of the Dental Excellence award is Dr. Jeremy Ledger, DMD.

Ledger follows a simple philosophy at his Homosassa’s dentist’s office: treat people well, don’t hurt them, and don’t pressure them about needing additional procedures.

Ledger told the Chronicle that far too often patients tell him about other den-tists’ unwillingness to listen to their com-plaints or that their previous procedures were painful. Ledger told the Chronicle that it’s the simple process of listening and respecting patients that make a den-tist’s office successful.

n The winner of the Innovation in Healthcare award was Citrus Memorial Hospital Heart and Vascular Center and TAVR program.

Just a few years ago patients who suf-fered from hardening of their heart’s aortic valve had to go other cities like Gainesville or Tampa for the latest, less

EntErtainmEntCivil rights activist Ruby Bridges writes

children’s bookNEW YORK — Civil rights ac-

tivist Ruby Bridges has written a children’s book with a candid tell-ing of the past and positive mes-sage for the future, inspired by the Black Lives Matter protests.

Delacorte Press, an imprint of Random House Children’s Books, announced Friday that Bridges’ “This Is Your Time” will come out Nov. 10. It arrives 60 years after she made history at age 6 by becoming the first Black student at an all-white ele-mentary school in New Orleans, walking past crowds screaming racist slurs. She was later hon-ored by Norman Rockwell in the painting “”The Problem We All Live With.”

The book is an open letter from Bridges to young readers and includes images from the 1960s and from recent events.

“During the first few days of watching events unfold in our country recently, I felt myself waiting for guidance and I know many were feeling the same. Having spent years speaking to young people about racism, I felt compelled to say something, and after careful consideration, I decided a letter to my young people was the way,” Bridges said in a statement.

Bridges is also the author of “Through My Eyes,” a memoir published in 1999.

Dev Patel celebrates India from his Los Angeles front yardLONDON — Quarantine

brought opportunities to Dev Patel’s front yard.

From a safe distance, the Brit-ish actor was able to enjoy both

his birthday and his relationship with India without leaving his L.A. home.

The first was cour-tesy of his girlfriend, Australian actress Tilda Cobham-Hervey, who arranged for Patel’s friends to drive past with paper planes and letters while he sat in front of the house.

Second was the offer to cele-brate India’s culture and civiliza-tions by narrating a National Geographic special, “India From Above,” which airs Sept. 30.

As he quarantined, a portable recording booth was sent and parked in his driveway. “It was like a trailer hitched to a car, that had been completely sanitized,” Patel explained.

Apart from being reminded of the pandemic by the sound of a passing ambulance, it worked well for the voice-over.

“It was incredible to be able to make some art in a way, to voice this beautiful thing, linked up to India,” said Patel.

“India From Above” is a two-part documentary which uses

drone footage to show aerial views of towering temples, reli-gious gatherings, EDM festivals

and solar technology.Patel frequently films

in India, but high above the crowd is not a per-spective he’s used to.

“As soon as I step off that plane and out of the airport, you’re sucked into this massive hu-

manity, the crowds and the peo-ple and your eye level just kind of being swept along with this tide of people. And that will sweep you somewhere really inspiring and quite magical.”

“But to zoom further and fur-ther out and higher and higher. That is pretty special,” he added

Patel describes his own relation-ship with India as “ever changing.”

“I feel the sense of belonging when I go there. And I also feel like a total alien at times.”

From “Slumdog Millionaire,” “Lion” and “Hotel Mumbai,” the Oscar-nominated actor is often in India on location and was pre-paring another film when the pandemic struck.

Sergeant, Major Crimes Sergeant, Patrol Detective/Corporal - Pasco County Narcotics Detective Patrolman, Zephyrhills Air Force Veteran

TECHNOLOGY VISION Technology in Law Enforcement is about efficiency, accuracy and reduction in duplicity. From call taking, to emergency response, to latent investigations is requiring massive amounts of information to be filtered, verified, and shared expeditiously with detail. Ridding an agency of information silos and placing it at the fingertips of the members is a key to success.

QUALITY OF LIFE Quality of Life focused policing is more than just attempting to arrest your way out of issues like drugs, homelessness, and mental health. During the past 3 years, there has been little effort to address and or collaborate with local community partners to assist with these social issues. Arrests do not always determine success. Local jails are not prepared to be mental health receiving facilities, and become a revolving door or band-aide for those needing assistance.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT Under my leadership will focus on building trust and transparency. My approach is focused on being proactive and preventative. Genuine Meetings will be conducted and centered around citizen concerns and problem indentification. Acting on your concerns and not received problems will lead to community success. You have my commitment to bring about this change of culture in the organization.

EMPLOYEE FOCUSED Employee focused leadership would be a paradigm shift for the CCSO. Law enforcement employment is a public service calling from clerks to cops. The foundation of a servant leadership style is centered around employee development, recognition and compensation. Employees want to know how much you care long before they care about how much you know.

STRATIFIED POLICING H.I.P.E. Policing. The “I” in HIPE is Intelligence Led Policing and will lead an organization to operational efficiency and effectiveness. The days of being reactive and waiting to be dispatched to a call for service is outdated and ineffective. Proactive responses to areas of crime trends, patterns, and series provides valuable results.

case. I know that. And between the governor and the education commis-sioner and the plaintiffs, I’m confident that if you all work really hard, you can do that, and I’m very hopeful that you can,” Dodson said.

The Florida Education Association statewide union last month filed a lawsuit alleging that Corcoran’s order violates the state Constitution, which guarantees Floridians the right to “safe” and “secure” public schools. The Orange County teachers union filed a similar legal complaint, and Dodson consolidated the cases.

Corcoran’s directive requires school districts to reopen brick-and-mortar classrooms five days a week in August and offer “the full panoply of services” to students and families, unless state and local health officials say other-wise. COVID-19 hotspots — Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties — were exempt from the mandate.

The legal wrangling comes as chil-dren, teachers and school workers re-turn to classrooms throughout the state. Schools in 13 counties reopened this week, and another 14 will reopen in some fashion next week, according to Department of Education spokes-woman Taryn Fenske. The agency has approved August reopening plans for 55 schools districts, Fenske said in an email on Friday.

DeSantis and Corcoran have zeal-ously defended the need to give fami-lies the option to choose whether children learn online or return to classrooms. Schools statewide were shuttered in March as the novel coro-navirus, which causes the respiratory disease known as COVID-19, began to spread throughout Florida.

David Wells, an attorney who rep-resents the state, urged Dodson to dis-miss the lawsuits, arguing that the controversy over school reopenings is a policy matter under the authority of the executive and legislative branches, not the courts.

More than half of Florida families have decided to send their children back to school in person, Wells said. At least 1.6 million of the state’s roughly 2.8 million schoolchildren will be at their desks this month, he added.

While Wells acknowledged that the Florida Constitution says it is a “para-mount duty of the state” to provide “uniform, efficient, safe, secure and high-quality” education to Floridians, he said Corcoran’s emergency order took those requirements into account.

“It’s a balancing between safety and a balancing between high quality, a balancing between protecting the

students and protecting the teachers and protecting the staff and the com-munity, and providing that high qual-ity education,” Wells, an attorney with the Gunster law firm, told the judge.

But Florida Education Association lawyer Ron Meyer said returning to school amid the pandemic is causing many teachers to resign or retire early and give up benefits, while creating anxiety for many others.

“They, as a result of this executive order, are going to be exposed to harm as they return to public schools, be-cause of the lack of proper attention being paid to the requirement that there be safe and secure public schools,” he said.

Schools shouldn’t be punished fi-nancially if local officials decide it’s safer to postpone the onset of face-to-face instruction, Meyer argued.

“What we’re saying is whether the children are seated in their classroom or seated in their home or other loca-tion, being instructed by live instruc-tion through the internet, the funding shouldn’t be a problem. But what we have here is an emergency order that basically says you only get funding if you do it my way. We think that’s arbi-trary and capricious,” he said.

Monique Bellefleur, one of the plaintiffs in the Orange County law-suit, is a middle-school teacher who is pregnant and has two children, in-cluding a son who is immunocompro-mised, according to court documents.

“Our client is in a difficult position of choosing whether or not to pursue her career and provide for her family or risk her health and well-being. Those are questions that should not be made and should not be forced,” Jacob Stuart, who represents the Orange County plaintiffs, told Dodson on Friday.

The judge ordered the parties to hold mediation all day Tuesday. If they don’t reach a compromise, Dodson scheduled a two-day hearing to begin Wednesday morning.

Whether schools should resume face-to-face instruction has become a political flashpoint in Florida and throughout the country, as parents, teachers and district officials juggle the perils of exposure to the highly contagious virus and the benefits of in-person instruction.

Corcoran this week participated in a roundtable on school reopenings at the White House with DeSantis’ close ally, President Donald Trump, who is also pushing for schools to reopen.

The education commissioner, a for-mer speaker of the Florida House of Representatives, boasted of his man-date and berated the legal challenges during Wednesday’s event.

“We are being sued by the union bosses, and they are disgraceful, abso-lutely disgraceful,” he said.

have 30 employees. It is about 10 miles northwest of Citrus Memorial Hospital in Inverness.

Stockton said the Citrus Hills site between the two hospitals was chosen be-cause of the rapid growth in the area.

“That’s the area we’re going to meet with this new project,” Stockton said. “That’s the reason we lo-cated in Citrus Hills. There’s a lot of growth.”

But the free-standing ER will likely attract patients from other areas of the county too, she said.

Stockton said she did not know how many patients the ER will serve once peo-ple know about the service and in a few years when it’s operating nearer its poten-tial. But she said she isn’t worried if it takes some of the market share from other hospitals.

“Citrus Memorial is pull-ing from these (Citrus Hill) ZIP codes and other areas of the county, so there’s the potential (of taking Citrus Memorial market),” Stock-ton said.

Stockton said she ex-pected a similar payer mix as to what Seven Rivers is seeing, with a strong em-phasis of Medicare payers.

Seven Rivers spokes-woman Jennifer Siem told the Chronicle that the free-standing ER would also attract patients not needing emergency care but services such as imag-ing and lab work.

T h e n e a r l y 11,000-square-foot facility has 12 treatment rooms that include examination areas, radiology and on-site lab services. The ER will provide the same level of care as an ER under the roof of a full-service hospi-tal, Siem said.

“Like any hospital

emergency department, the new Bayfront Health Health ER Citrus Hills will be equipped to treat pa-tients with illnesses and injuries that require a higher level of care than urgent care facilities offer,” Siem said. “Many emer-gency services can be ef-fectively managed at freestanding emergency departments without the need for transfer to a tradi-tional hospital setting.”

But if ER staff think pa-tients need to be trans-ferred to a hospital, Stockton said it would be a “very smooth transition” and the hospital staff can start the process of admission.

Stockton said the ER will work closely with Seven Rivers.

“It’s like we have a (com-bined) 21 emergency exam-ination rooms … giving people access to care in the central part of the county,” she said.

The new ER department will expand the Bayfront Health Seven Rivers’ footprint.

Emergency rooms ac-count for about half of the nation’s hospital admis-sions, according to a study by the RAND Corporation, a nonprofit think tank.

At Citrus Memorial Hos-pital, the ER accounts for about 80% of the hospital’s inpatient population. Stockton would not say how many of its admissions began as ER visits, but that free-standing ERs typically account for fewer than ERs situated inside full-service hospitals.

“We know that will be a little less,” Stockton said, but emphasized the new ER will provide the same level of care. “It’s just closer to home.”

Community Health Sys-tems owns the Bayfront Health Seven Rivers hospi-tal along with 17 other health care facilities throughout Florida. CHS

has 106 hospitals in 18 states.

Most of the proposed ex-amination rooms in the one-story facility would also serve as areas provid-ing specialty care. They in-c l u d e p e d i a t r i c examination rooms, a trauma examination room, one will be an OB-GYN exam room, and one would be an examination room with an ultrasound machine.

There will be areas for patients to await lab re-sults, a bariatric room, a CT scan room and an X-ray room, a nurses’ station, lounges, a bereavement room and office, an ambu-lance intake area, a wait-ing room and a decontamination room. The proposed ER depart-ment offers all the same services included in Seven Rivers’ ER department.

The 2-acre lot will also include nearly 60 parking spaces.

Freestanding ER depart-ments must offer the same ER services as those of-fered on at the hospital with which they are affili-ated, according to Florida Agency for Health Care Administration.

Freestanding emergency departments must be open 24 hours per day, have ER physicians onsite at all times, and have round-the-clock lab and imaging services.

The number of free-standing emergency de-partments in the country more than doubled be-tween 2008 and 2016, ac-cording to one study by United Health Group. The study reported there were 222 freestanding emer-gency departments in 2008. That swelled to 566 in 2016.

The ER is also offering virtual tours from noon to 1 p.m. and from 6 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 18, 2020, Please register for the tours at BayfrontERtour.eventbrite.com.

TALLAHASSEE — As kids go back to school, Florida is going to court.

A legal challenge over a state mandate to reopen schools is in-tensifying as students in 13 coun-ties packed their book bags — and face masks — and headed back to classrooms this week. Children in at least another dozen counties are set to return to school next week.

The anxiety over the reopening of brick-and-mortar schools spilled into a Tallahassee court-room on Thursday and Friday.

Gov. Ron DeSantis, Corcoran and state education officials are locked in a lawsuit filed by the Florida Education Association, which alleges that an emergency order issued by Corcoran requir-ing schools to reopen this month is unconstitutional. The union representing Orange County teachers filed a similar legal challenge, and the cases have been consolidated.

The unions are seeking a tem-porary injunction “to stop the re-opening of schools until it is safe to do so.”

State officials, however, are ar-guing that kids should have the option of in-person instruction because it is more effective than distance learning.

As the politically charged court battle drags on, students, parents and school employees are pre-paring for a new school year that will look very different while the coronavirus remains a threat.

The governor told reporters in Sarasota on Friday that the 13 districts that reopened this week have “had success.”

He doubled down on the need to offer parents the choice to send their kids back to school.

“As governor, I really appreci-ate it because they really are hav-ing to go above and beyond to provide all these options to

parents and ultimately opportu-nities for our kids,” DeSantis said.

When asked whether schools should shut down if there is an outbreak, the governor said he hopes school districts take a “more surgical approach” to in-creases in positive COVID-19 cases rather than shuttering schools.

During a hearing Friday morn-ing, Leon County Circuit Judge Charles Dodson encouraged the state and the unions to iron out their differences without having the court intervene.

“This is a case that cries out for the parties to get together at this mediation and come up with an agreement. It’s a very compli-cated case. I know that,” Dodson said. “And between the governor and the education commissioner and the plaintiffs, I’m confident that if you all work really hard, you can do that, and I’m very hopeful that you can.”

SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO?

Teachers in various parts of the state have been considering an early retirement, resigning or taking a leave of absence rather than return to school amid the COVID-19 pandemic, according to surveys conducted by school districts and unions.

The considerations come amid the state’s push to have all school districts offer in-person instruc-tion. Some teachers feel they are being forced to choose between their livelihood and their health.

“For the first time in a very long time, I am feeling stressed. It is just a lot for me to process be-cause I am being asked to do something that the science and the data are telling me there is an untenable amount of risk in-volved,” Dave Galloway, a sixth grade science teacher in Jackson County, said in an interview Tuesday.

In rural Jackson County, eight teachers said they would take a leave of absence, two said they would resign and two others said they would retire early, accord-ing to Galloway, who serves as the president of the Jackson County Education Association.

A July survey found that 52 ed-ucators in Pasco County, or roughly 1 percent of respondents, would either resign or take a leave of absence if asked to come back, according to school district spokesman Stephen Hegarty.

Fourteen Pinellas County school employees resigned be-fore the start of the school year and 47 have requested a leave of absence, Associate Superinten-dent of Human Resource Ser-vices Paula Texel said at a school board meeting Tuesday.

A mid-July survey conducted by the Florida Education Associ-ation found that 18,082 educators said the pandemic has “made them more likely to retire or leave education earlier than planned.” But it is unclear how many of them have acted on that sentiment.

DeSantis has maintained that district employees and teachers should not be forced to return to school if they are uncomfortable about the virus. Alternative work accommodations, however, are determined at the local level.

‘TREMENDOUS CONFUSION’

After many twists and turns in the legal battle over a 2018 consti-tutional amendment that re-stored voting rights to felons upon completion of their sen-tences, lawyers and felons say they continue to face uncertainty about voting eligibility.

The legal wrangling and in-complete or contradictory court records have erected at-times in-surmountable barriers for Flor-ida felons who want to participate in one of the bedrock elements of democracy: voting.

“It has caused tremendous confusion among the lawyers and pro bono lawyers that have been trying to assist people for over a year. So you can only imagine the

confusion of the people that are applying,” Miami-Dade County Public Defender Carlos Martinez told The News Service of Florida.

Dozens of lawyers throughout the state are working with orga-nizations such as the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition, the Alliance for Safety and Justice and the League of Women Voters of Florida to help felons deter-mine whether they have out-standing financial obligations and to clear up the debts so they can register to vote. Floridians have until Oct. 5 to register to vote in the November general election.

It can be difficult to ascertain fees or costs assessed in decades-old cases, whose re-cords can be on microfilm, Attor-ney Carin Levine said. And it’s even more challenging to find out what payments were made, if any.

“It’s especially hard to deter-mine where restitution goes to. And sometimes the public clerk website has different informa-tion on it than the internal web-site that the public doesn’t have access to. And once you miss a payment or you’re past due, 90 days later, they send it to a col-lection agency. And that collec-tion agency immediately adds 40 percent plus interest and late fees,” she said.

STORY OF THE WEEKA Leon County circuit judge on

Friday refused to dismiss a law-suit challenging a state order re-quiring schools to reopen in August, as students in 13 counties returned to classrooms this week.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK“Just as the SEALs surmounted

obstacles to bring Osama bin Laden to justice, so too would the Martin County school system find a way to provide parents with a meaningful choice of in-person instruction or continued distance learning.” — Gov. Ron DeSantis, referring to Martin County Su-perintendent Laurie Gaylord’s comments that the school re-launch was a mission “akin to a Navy Seal operation.”

innovative procedure to fix their problem.

Citrus Memorial Hospital now also offers some of those proce-dures, namely the transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The TAVR procedure is a mini-mally invasive procedure for pa-tients with a narrowing aortic valve, aortic stenosis, and that replaces the diseased valve.

Unlike traditional valve replace-ment procedures that involve open-ing the patient’s chest, the hospital’s cardiac team replaces the valve through small incisions by the groin. Patients are typically back to their normal lives in just a few days.

n The winner of the Community Outreach in Healthcare is Dr. Dacelin St. Martin.

Dr. Dacelin St. Martin began making better health care available to more people as soon as he opened his pediatric and internal medicine practice in 2005. To help in that, he also opened quick care clinics in the county and initiated an adult sports program.

When the coronavirus pandemic threatened Citrus County, St. Mar-tin offered free COVID-19 tests to county residents.

“COVID hit us like a ton of bricks and we were unprepared. The med-ical world tends to follow estab-lished protocols and we didn’t have protocols for this,” St. Martin said. “I knew I had to do something.”

In March, when Citrus County saw its first COVID positive patient, St. Martin bought tests using his own money and arranged with the county to set up a drive-through testing site

on State Road 44 in Crystal River. His staff volunteered to work at the site and get residents tested.

St. Martin’s staff did thousands of tests and now continues to do more than 300 drive-through tests a week at his urgent care clinics.

At the award ceremony St. Martin thanked his staff.

“Medicine is a team sport,” he told the audience. “I would not be here without my entire team.

Of his work and providing help to patients, St. Martin said, “I do it with passion.”

n Winner of the Healthcare Vol-unteer award is Meals on Wheels volunteers.

Most of the county’s 150 Meals on Wheels volunteers are senior citi-zens. They are most at risk of be-coming seriously ill if they contract the coronavirus. But they continue to provide meals to the charity’s housebound clients, give comfort and companionship. And in so doing, they give back to the community.

When COVID-19 hit and the need for meals greatly increased, Meals on Wheels volunteers met the chal-lenge and delivered nearly 100,000 meals in only three months.

Upon accepting the award, Jan-ice Hale, who oversees the pro-gram, told the audience, “There’s no way I could accomplish any of this without our volunteers and staff.”

She vowed to keep helping se-niors as much as much as the char-ity could.

n Winner of the Healthcare Hu-manitarian is Michele Fisher, VITAS Healthcare.

Fisher’s devotion to those need-ing help can be seen in this recent story.

Fisher spotted an elderly man in

Inverness in front of a McDonald’s restaurant looking confused.

When she asked him if every-thing was alright, he said that his car had been stolen and repainted and he couldn’t find it. His tele-phone number didn’t work but with some more questioning, Fisher de-termined he lived in Orlando. She tried the number with an Orlando area code and contacted his wife.

His wife told Fisher he had a memory problem and that he was missing for two days. He was also a diabetic and hadn’t taken his medicine.

She called 911 and paramedics told her that his blood sugar was dangerously high. Doctors at the hospital told her he would not have lived much longer without help.

The Citrus County Sheriff ’s Of-fice gave the certified nursing assis-tant in hospice an award for her good deeds.

“Michele has a magnetic person-ality, with a brilliant smile,” said her nomination. “Making herself available to all (patient care) teams, Michele can be found throughout Citrus County, in facilities and pa-tient homes. She is focused on the patient’s needs and ensures their comfort before she leaves them.

“To quote an administrator from one assisted living facility, ‘We trust the care that is being given by Mi-chele. We never feel the need to check and see if it was done correctly because with Michele, it always is.’”

Accepting the award, Fisher told those in the audience that she is grateful for the opportunity to help others.

“This is the purpose God has given me,” she said.

So, it was with tears all around that on Wednes-day, Aug. 12, Beeman was surprised with a drive-by farewell party as she prepares to move back to Connecticut to be with family.

From her chair under-neath the center’s en-trance awning, cars with well-wishers shouted their goodbyes as they slowly drove past.

“You are an inspira-tion!” Chuck Holden called to her.

As car after car slowed down so people could say goodbye, Beeman kept saying, “I don’t believe this. All these people — I didn’t know I knew so many people.”

Because of the coronavi-rus pandemic, the senior centers across the county have been closed since mid-March.

However, county staff, such as Adanti, have con-tinued to care about the

people they serve, county spokeswoman Cynthia Os-wald said Wednesday.

“This has been so dis-ruptive to our seniors who need that sense of

community,” she said. “Our staff work hard to be innovative to come up with ways to continue pro-viding that need for community.”

When Adanti learned that Beeman was moving away, she only had a few days to put something together.

“We don’t serve (daily) meals here anymore, but they do come and pick up their meals here,” Adanti said. “So, I just started making phone calls and told people to come a half hour early and make a parade.”

Beeman said she didn’t expect a parade in her honor and had been think-ing she wouldn’t get to see her friends one last time.

“To me, this is a mira-cle,” she said. “I think I’m going to start a new life up there. I’m going back to the same little town I lived in for many years — it’s colder up there than here.”

Janice Hale, the coun-ty’s senior programs su-pervisor, said it was important to everyone that they do this.

“We all love her,” she said. “We had to do some-thing — she’s part of our family.”

Around the STATE7 new cases of West Nile in Miami

MIAMI — Thirty three Miami-Dade County residents have now been infected with the West Nile virus, health officials said.

On Thursday the county’s Florida Department of Health said seven additional residents have contracted the mosquito-borne illness from local transmission.

The county’s first two cases of the virus were detected in May. Both cases were local residents.

On Aug. 4 in nearby Broward County, officials announced the county’s first West Nile virus case since 2012, the Miami Herald reported. And in Monroe County, officials are dealing with an outbreak of 26 cases of Dengue fever. It’s the first outbreak of the mosquito-borne illness there in a decade.

The health department said West Nile virus is the leading cause of mosquito-borne disease in the United States. There are no vaccines to prevent it or medications to treat it.

Associated Press

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Tom Hoge maintained a share of the lead Friday at the Wyndham Champion-ship, this time alongside Si Woo Kim, Talor Gooch and Billy Horschel.

Hoge, tied for the first-round lead with Harold Varner III and Roger Sloan, kept in front with a steady 2-under 68 to get to 10-under par.

Hoge, whose best-ever tour finish was a second at The Greenbrier this sea-son, was asked what it would take for his first PGA Tour win.

“There’s a lot to that question,” he said.

The answer could be as simple as regaining his first-round form when he had seven birdies, an eagle and one par. This time, Hoge was more up and down with five birdies and three bogeys.

Kim, whose first tour victory came here in 2016 and made history a year later as the youngest-ever winner of The Players Championship, shot a 65 to move up.

Kim got it going on the front nine (his final nine) after starting with nine consecutive pars. He had six bogeys coming in, in-cluding the final two holes to move on top.

Kim’s approach shots down the stretch were on target — his final five birdie putts were all from 12 feet or closer.

He said the rough at Sedgefield Country Club was “more sticky and deep” this year.

“It helps more to hit fairway, that’s really

important,” Kim said. “That’s why I hit it more, try to focus on ,,, the fairway.”

Like Hoge, the 28-year-old Gooch is seeking his first tour victory. Like Kim, Gooch shot 65 to get

into the foursome on top. Horschel shot 64 and

had birdies on four of the last six holes, including a tricky 7-footer on his final one, the ninth, to join the lead group. Horschel won the 2014 FedEx Cup and

said this time of year charges him up.

The four were a stroke ahead of Harris English (67), Varner (69), Andrew Landry (65), Doc Redman (64) and British Open champ Shane Lowry, who shot a 63 to tie for Friday’s low round with Jason Kokrak.

In-form Horsfield shoots 64, in front at Celtic ClassicNEWPORT, Wales — Sam

Horsfield kept up his excellent form since the resumption of the European Tour by shoot-ing 7-under 64 to take a one-stroke lead after the second round of the Celtic Classic.

FHSAA: Fall sports to move forwardPractices can begin Aug. 24

Matt PfiffnerSports editor

The Florida High School Athletic Associa-tion (FHSAA) Board of Di-rectors met Friday, Aug. 14, 2020, in Gaines-ville to decide the fate for fall sports in the state.

After a sometimes con-tentious 2 1/2 hours of de-bate, the board voted 11-5 to support Executive Di-rector George Tomyn’s recommendation to go with Option 1, which means fall practices can begin Aug. 24, with a first regular-season game date of Sept. 4.

School districts aren’t obligated to begin athlet-ics on that date, it’s just the earliest they can.

The other option seri-ously discussed — Option 3 — would have delayed

the beginning of the fall sports season until Oct. 12 and pushed back the start and end dates for winter and spring athletics.

An amendment to Op-tion 1, introduced earlier in the meeting by board member Carlos Ochoa and passed by a majority vote, allows schools to opt-out of both the state series and FHSAA athletic calendar by Sept. 18, if they are not able to safely play by then. The FHSAA will then work with those schools and/or districts to create a new athletic schedule that works for them, even if it means pushing back fall sports all the way to the spring.

“I think this proposal provides flexibility for all and maximizes seasons for all of our members,” Ochoa said.

After the opt-out date, the board will meet again and begin the process of figuring out how many schools are in each class and how the state series

will look.Tomyn began the day

discussing video meetings he had with 10 different advisory committees over the past three weeks to gauge their interest in the different options.

“I am a firm believer in parent choice and a firm believer in leaving things up to the districts,” Tomyn said. “Remember, our schools are opening and extracurriculars are an important part of schools.”

The golf and football committees both voted unanimously for Option 1; bowling, cross country, a student-athlete committee and the fall officials com-mittee both had a majority vote for Option 1; volley-ball, swimming & diving and a 15-member athletic directors committee all voted in favor of Option 3 by a slight majority; the Sports Medicine Advisory Committee (SMAC) voted 14-0 for Option 3 and went so far as to say they would be in favor for an athletics

start date as late as Nov. 30.

Chris Patricca — the most vocal board member against Option 1 and the lone vote against Ochoa’s amendment to Option 1 — was concerned with health issues for students and also wondered how fair it was to allow some schools to play in the state series while others might be un-able to, because of reasons out of their control. The response to that by an-other board member was that the regions unable to compete in the state series could possibly create their own regional champion-ship end-of-season series.

Board member Mark Schusterman was also concerned how safe it is to begin practices in less than two weeks with the COVID-19 numbers in Florida.

“We are ignoring the sci-ence. Are we willing to take this chance with the health of kids, coaches and officials?” he asked.

“That’s the bottom line for me, the safety of our kids. To have interscholastic competition between schools is dangerous.”

To speak about the sci-ence of COVID-19, Dr. Jen-nifer Maynard of SMAC was brought into the meet-ing by phone.

She said 43 out of 67 Florida counties meet the requirement to show the pandemic is under control (an infection rate below 1%), while 24 or not. She added that zero coun-ties are in what is consid-ered the green (safe) zone of new cases per 100,000 residents and that 65 of 67 counties have a positivity rate of 6.5% or higher, with only one below 5%.

“Until COVID-19 is given the respect it de-serves, we won’t get there,” she said. “And in-troducing sports would add fuel to the fire.”

She said the SMAC would not recommend playing sports until data

from schools reopening can be collected.

There were also several board members who were vocal in their support for Option 1, basically saying we need to get on with our lives.

Sue Tortora said it was naive to think kids weren’t out doing things together right now and that the only way to really defeat the pandemic is to shut every-one inside for another 6 or 8 weeks and take the chance of the state going bankrupt.

“At some point we have to step out and make a de-cision,” she said.

Chalmus Thomas was just as passionate with his remarks.

“We can’t sit in a shell. We need to make a deci-sion that will move this forward,” he said. “Athlet-ics have been something that pulls communities to-gether. Safety is our first priority, but we must move forward.”

Heat beat Pacers in finaleAssociated Press

LAKE BUENA VISTA — Doug McDermott scored 23 points and the Indiana Pacers beat Miami 109-92 on Friday in a game delayed for sev-eral minutes late in the third quarter when Heat forward Derrick Jones Jr. was carted off the court.

Jones was attempting to get around a screen when he collided with 6-foot-11 Indiana center Goga Bit-adze and fell to the floor. Jones lay on his stomach with his right arm on the back of his head for sev-eral minutes before he was fitted for a neck brace and carted off the floor.

The Heat said on Twit-ter that Jones had a neck strain and had undergone an MRI, CT scan and con-cussion test. The Heat said Jones would be re-evaluated over the weekend.

The injury to the NBA’s reigning slam dunk cham-pion came on a day when both teams were trying to stay as healthy as possible for their upcoming first-round

playoff matchup.Miami and Indiana en-

tered the day tied for fourth in the Eastern Conference at 44-28 re-cords. In a typical season, this regular-season finale would have decided which team got home-court advantage in their first-round series that be-gins Tuesday. But nobody has a home-court edge this year with the entire postseason taking place at Disney’s Wide World of Sports, so nothing was re-ally at stake Friday.

The Heat sat All-Stars Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler as well as Goran Dragic, Jae Crowder and Andre Iguodala. T.J. War-ren, Domantas Sabonis, Victor Oladipo and Myles Turner didn’t play for Indiana.

Sabonis, the Pacers’ leading rebounder, hasn’t played any games since the restart due to plantar fasci-itis and is out indefinitely. Many of the other notable names who didn’t play were simply getting some recovery time as they gear up for the postseason.

Malcolm Brogdon had

16 points, six rebounds and six assists for the Pacers. Alize Johnson had 11 points and 17 re-bounds to set career highs in both categories. Kend-rick Nunn scored 23 points for Miami.

Raptors 117, Nuggets 109

Stanley Johnson scored 19 of his 23 points in the sec-ond half, and Toronto beat Denver to close the regular season.

Johnson hit three 3-point-ers and a floating bank shot during a span of less than four minutes in the fourth quarter, helping the Raptors push their lead to 103-92 with six minutes to go.

Clippers 107, Thunder 103

Terance Mann hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 2:30 left in overtime and had 25 points and 14 rebounds for the Los Angeles Clippers, who beat the Oklahoma City Thunder in a final seeding game for both teams devoid of stars.

Montreal rebounds

Associated Press

TORONTO — Tomas Tatar and Jesperi Kot-kaniemi each scored twice, Carey Price stopped 30 shots and the Montreal Canadiens rebounded with-out coach Claude Julien to rout the Philadelphia Fly-ers 5-0 on Friday and tie the series at a game apiece.

Julien was home in Mon-treal a day after a stent was placed in a coronary ar-tery. The team said doctors expect a full recovery.

Associated Press

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Teoscar Hernández hit two of Toronto’s six home runs, Bo Bichette connected for the fourth straight game and the Blue Jays kept knocking balls out of their new Buffalo park, beat-ing the Tampa Bay Rays 12-4 Fri-day night.

Along with their seven homers in a 14-11 loss to Miami on Wednes-day night at Sahlen Field, Toronto became the fourth team in major league history to hit at least six homers in back-to-back games. The Blue Jays joined the Dodgers (1996), Angels (2003) and Washing-ton (2012).

Randal Grichuk hit a tying homer in the sixth, Bichette added a three-run drive and Hernández connected to cap the five-run in-ning that made it 8-4.

Rowdy Tellez and Cavan Biggio also homered for the Blue Jays. In three games so far at the home of their Triple-A affiliate, they have scored 25 of their 28 runs on long balls, including 22 of their last 23.

The Buffalo park is a little tighter down the lines than Rogers Centre in Toronto. On the Ameri-can side, it’s 325 feet to the corners, 371 to left-center, 367 to right- center and 404 to straightaway cen-ter field.

Brandon Lowe homered and drove in three runs for Tampa Bay, which had its six-game winning streak snapped. Lowe has an extra-base hit in six straight games

and has homered in three straight games. He’s also gone long in four of the five games he’s played in Buffalo, having hit homers in three of four games played with the Triple-A Durham Bulls in 2018.

Toronto has scored 10 or more runs in two straight games for the first time since June 2016, when it put up 13 in back-to-back games at Philadelphia and Baltimore.

Toronto reliever Wilmer Font (1-1) faced one batter, inducing a double-play grounder in the top of the sixth, to earn the win. Ryan Thompson (1-1) took the loss.

TRAINER’S ROOMRays: RHP Yonny Chirinos is ex-

pected to come off the IL on Sun-day to start against Toronto. Manager Kevin Cash said that Chirinos felt good coming off a side session as he heals from triceps in-flammation. Cash also said that Charlie Morton, who left Sunday’s game against the Yankees after two innings, will have a bullpen ses-sion in the next couple of days but would not commit to having him active when eligible to come off the IL on Aug. 20.

UP NEXTRays: LHP Yarbrough (0-2, 4.71)

will start Saturday night against Toronto in the middle game of the three-game series.

Blue Jays: RHP Chase Anderson (0-0, 3.00) will make his second start on Saturday night. He allowed one hit and two walks in a three- inning start at Boston on Aug. 8.

Stocks barely budged Friday, leaving the S&P 500 just shy of its record high. Wall Street was split between stocks that rose and fell, and the moves were all modest. A report showed re-tail sales rose 1.2% last month from June, a third straight monthly gain.

Stocks barely budge on Wall Street

S&P 500 just shy of highStan Choe and

damian J. troiSeAP business writers

NEW YORK — Stock in-dexes barely budged on Wall Street Friday, leaving the S&P 500 just shy of its record once again.

The S&P 500 edged down 0.58 points, or less than 0.1%, to 3,372.85 after drifting between small gains and losses through-out the day. They’re the latest meandering moves for the market, which has taken a pause after eras-ing almost all of the steep losses caused by the coro-navirus pandemic.

In each of the prior two days, the S&P 500 made a brief run above its record closing high, which was set in February, only to fade in the afternoon. It re-mains within 0.4% of its record.

Wall Street was nearly evenly split between stocks that rose and fell, and the moves were al-most uniformly modest. The Dow Jones Industrial Average inched up 34.30 points, or 0.1%, to 27,931.02, while the Nas-daq composite dipped 23.20, or 0.2%, to 11,019.30.

Consumer spending is the main locomotive for the U.S. economy, and a re-port on Friday showed some more improvements for U.S. retailers, though

less than economists expected.

Sales at grocery stores, gas stations and other re-tailers rose 1.2% last month from June. It’s the third straight month of gains, following a historic plunge in the spring, but it marked a sharp slowdown from June’s 8.4% growth. It also fell short of the 2% growth that economists were expecting.

The report showed that the economy is now “more in a gentle phase of recov-ery,” said Mike Zigmont, director of trading and re-search at Harvest Volatil-ity Management.

“It’s positive, but it’s not as ballistic as it was be-fore,” he said.

Economists say con-sumer spending could be under more pressure fol-lowing the expiration of U.S. government programs to aid the economy, includ-ing $600 in extra unem-ployment benefits each week. Investors say it’s crucial that Washington deliver another lifeline to the economy, and markets seem to be assuming a deal will happen.

But Democrats and Re-publicans say they remain far apart on a possible compromise.

“Congress has to follow up on the stimulus pack-age because they essen-tially promised it,” Zigmont said.

“Main Street America is counting on it,” he said. “You can’t pull the rug out from under the world.”

The day’s trading was

notably quiet, with only a few stocks in the S&P 500 falling even 2%. Among the biggest gainers in the index was Applied Materi-als, which rose 3.9%. The tech company reported stronger results for the summer than analysts ex-pected and also gave a better-than-expected fore-cast for the current quarter.

Outside the S&P 500, shares of German biophar-maceutical company CureVac more than tripled in their first day of trading. After selling shares at $16 in an initial public of-fering, the stock jumped to $55.90. The company, whose backers include the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Ger-man government, is devel-oping a vaccine against COVID-19 and other medi-cines using messenger RNA.

Friday’s drift for the S&P 500 left it with a gain of 0.6% for the week. It’s the sixth rise in the last seven weeks for the index, but it’s also the slowest in the last three.

Treasury yields also slowed their big jump from earlier in the week. The yield on the 10-year Treasury held steady at 0.71%. It had been at 0.57% just on Monday. It climbed through the week after a couple reports on inflation came in higher than ex-pected and after the U.S. Treasury auctioned off more bonds to help cover the government’s huge deficit.

Expectations are high for Livongo Health, the remote patient monitoring company that telemedicine provider Teladoc is buying for more than $18 billion.

Analysts forecast, on average, that Livongo's revenue could at least quadruple to more than $1.5 billion by 2024.

Livongo monitors the health of patients with conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure with technology that detects potential problems such as blood sugar spikes. Abnormal readings prompt a company representative to contact the patient to see if they need help.

Remote monitoring of patients is not new, but Livongo’s

technology is easier to use than other approaches, said Sean Dodge, an analyst with RBC Capital Markets. Data collection is more automated, and the company does things like provide free testing strips for diabetes patients.

“They are able to keep people engaged for longer,” Dodge said.

That can be attractive to employers and insurers who want to improve the health of people covered under their plans and cut costs.

Also, Livongo and Teladoc have seen a jump in interest since COVID-19 spread earlier

this year, forcing patients to consider alternatives to in-person

medical appointments.

A Miami businessman accused of being the mastermind behind the largest fraud case in Vermont’s history pleaded guilty on Friday over a failed plan to build a biotechnology plant using tens of mil-lions of dollars in foreign investors’ money.

Ariel Quiros, 64, the former owner of Jay Peak and Burke Mountain ski resorts in northern Vermont, changed his plea to guilty on charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, money laundering and the concealment of material information. Nine other charges were dropped.

Quiros pleaded guilty via video confer-ence to the three separate charges, one at a time, after being asked by US Dis-trict Court Judge Geoffrey Crawford.

During the hourlong hearing, Quiros answered “Yes, Your Honor” or “No, Your Honor” to a series of questions from Crawford.

“Mr. Quiros’ guilt was beyond doubt,” Michael Pieciak, the commissioner of the Vermont Department of Financial Regulation said in a statement issued after the hearing. “Our department’s ten-month investigation traced every penny of investor money and determined that much of it had inappropriately been fun-neled to support Mr. Quiros’ lavish lifestyle.”

Quiros, of Key Biscayne, Florida, and three others were indicted over a failed plan to build a biotechnology plant in Newport, Vermont, using millions raised through the EB-5 visa program, which encourages foreigners to invest in U.S. projects that create jobs in exchange for a chance to earn permanent U.S. residency.

Quiros pleaded not guilty in May 2019 to 12 felony charges. He signed the plea deal on Aug. 5.

Under the plea agreement, Quiros would serve just over eight years in prison. The final sentence will be up to Crawford at sentencing, which will be held at a later date.

The plea agreement states that Quiros would be sentenced after two other de-fendants, former Jay Peak president Wil-liam Stenger and William Kelly, an adviser to Quiros, are sentenced if con-victed. Stenger and Kelly have pleaded not guilty. A fourth defendant remains at large.

Stenger’s lawyers have objected to any delay in sentencing.

The federal Securities and Exchange Commission and the state of Vermont first accused Quiros and Stenger in 2016 of a “massive eight-year fraudulent scheme” that involved misusing more than $200 million of about $400 million raised from foreign investors “in Ponzi-like fashion.”

Prepare for a tax increase

(Re the July 23, 2020, Page A3 story, “Board backs bud-get, tax increase”): The way I see it, the Citrus County commissioners are preparing to whack prop-erty owners with a 6% in-crease in property taxes next year and they didn’t even blush. Yes, they argue that the millage is the same as last year, but they say the value of our home has in-creased during the pandemic. Re-ally? And haven’t you noticed

during the downturn that not one elected official nor government employee has missed a paycheck, yet county unemployment of the

folks that actually pay the taxes has increased at least 200%? And can someone remind me of a county-government-funded project that has been can-celed or delayed during the tax shortages? Don’t you remember when the Republican Party used to be the party of small gov-

ernment and fiscal responsibility? Perhaps we should remind the candidates of that Aug. 18.

Schlabach the clear choice

I am not one to write in to the newspaper, but this is too important. Early voting ends Saturday and election day is Tuesday. I heartily endorse Ruthie Schlabach for Citrus County Commission. It’s an open primary so all regis-tered voters can participate.

Yes, I work for Ruthie and Jarey, but we were friends first. As a friend, you will find no one more loyal or decent. As a business owner, she is savvy and successful. As a parent, the results speak for themselves. Twenty-five years as an active citizen of Citrus, working and contributing to make this county a better place.

Yes, there are five others running, although only two have any local connection. I really like the other locals in the race and consider them friends.However, when it comes to who should be our next District 5 commissioner, I believe the choice is clear.

Klyap committed to Citrus County

My name is Erica Klyap, the wife of sheriff candidate Mike Klyap. I have known Mike for close to 20 years, and I can tell you there is nobody more committed to his com-munity, his country and those who wear a uniform more than my husband.

Not a day goes by that Mike isn’t helping feed our home-less, our veterans or the needy, performing military honors for a fallen comrade, filing claims for a veteran, acting as an escort on the vet-erans honor flight or making sure people have what they need for a decent quality of life such as shelter, food and clothes. During the year, you can count on Mike to buy and deliver gifts to needy chil-dren, playing Santa Claus and putting clothes on the backs of children who have nothing. I have seen Mike take mem-bers of the community shop-ping for diapers, food, pay for their gas, and their utility bills wanting nothing in re-turn. Mike involves himself in many fundraising activities, he initiated a fundraiser that raised just under $60,000 for Marine who lost both legs in combat. He recently spon-sored a Walk Across Citrus County to support the fami-lies of fallen law enforcement

officers and our veterans. Mike was there as were car-ing citizens and members of different veterans’ organiza-tions, but no government offi-cials showed up.

Since I have known my hus-band, he has been involved in the lives of hundreds and maybe thousands of children in one way or another. He has coached Little League base-ball, flag football, taken kids shopping for Christmas, and when a mom or dad needed someone to talk with their child, they called Mike. Mike is a state and locale 40/8 Youths Sports Director and has been able to donate thou-sands of dollars to local pro-grams such as Nature Coast Soccer, Crystal River Sharks and Bull football, Crystal River High School basketball, and Lecanto High School baseball just to name a few.

Mike is a great husband, fa-ther and will no doubt give un-selfishly of himself as sheriff as he has for decades for his community, our children, his country and those in uniform.

If you want the best for the community, our children and you the citizen, you will vote Mike Klyap sheriff 2020.

List your drop-off locations

A number of times I have seen charitable organizations in the Chronicle listing a need for certain items. If you could list several locations in various parts of the county where people could drop off these items for their group so there would be more drop-off points, I’m sure you would have a greater number of items donated.

People do not want to drive miles to drop off two or three items. Members would surely be willing to pick up donated items once or twice a month, asking permission first from the locations manager. The

Chronicle would likely be willing to print a small article listing the drop-off points.

Eakley will address future growth

My husband and I bought our first home in Citrus County in 1986 and we moved here permanently after retirement in 1990. I know what it felt like to be safe during the early years and I feel differently now. I met Mel Eakley before he began running for sheriff and listened to what he had ac-complished when he was a deputy sheriff. Mel is ap-proachable and puts people at ease. He is genuine and not a politician. He has the vision to address the future growth and will ensure he is always able to provide a high level of service to us. I am a senior citizen and I want a sheriff who will listen to my concerns. Homelessness is growing here in Homosassa and needs some attention. Mel has a plan to work with local and Tampa Bay nonprofits to assist them in housing and has relationships with the VA to get our veterans some assistance. Please take the time to listen to Mel either in person or on his website. You will not be disappointed.

LET’S GET WISE

Everyone must cooperate to

stop pandemicAs of the Friday,

Aug. 14, Florida De-partment of Health

update, 45 new positive cases of COVID-19 have been re-ported in Citrus County.

As of Friday morning in Citrus County, 1,708 peo-ple have tested positive (includ-ing five non-resi-dents), 156 have been hospitalized and 38 people have died since March. A sharp increase during the week of July 27 to Aug. 3 of 10 virus deaths was the highest jump in COVID-19 deaths in a single week.

These are not just statis-tics. These numbers repre-sent our co-workers, neighbors, friends and our family members.

Face it, many people in our community have become less “wise” and more “whys?”

For example: Why shouldn’t I go out and party with my friends? Why should I wear an uncomfortable face covering? Why should I do something I don’t want to do?

(Cue the arm crossing and foot stomping.)

Well, those of us who would like this nightmare to end have some “whys” of our own.

Why are we putting up with this? Why are we mak-ing this situation worse by continuing to ignore science and simple actions such as

hand washing, social dis-tancing and mask wearing?

And, especially, why is it so difficult and sometimes

downright con-tentious for peo-ple to agree to have enough con-sideration of fel-low human beings to help them, frankly, have a better chance of staying alive?

Yo u c a n’ t smoke on a plane

or a bus because it makes other people sick. We hated it at first, but then learned to live with controls on smok-ing until the science caught up. Now most everyone agrees with the health concerns.

The same is true in regard to the deadly coronavirus, but it seems as though we can’t learn from our own re-cent past.

We are playing with fire here. This threat is real and becoming more scary, not only in Citrus County, but globally as it resurges and mutates.

If 10 deaths within one week’s time in our little part of the world doesn’t jolt our county leadership and resi-dents to get serious about the danger, what will?

As for one more “why?” ... Our locally elected govern-ment leaders, not just na-tional and state, have the power to enact rules to keep us safer. Our county leaders have this power.

Why won’t they help us?

THE ISSUE:Local coronavirus numbers continue

to climb, including deaths.

OUR OPINION:Why not enact

safety measures?

Marin: I will dedicate myself to the Citrus community

As we approach the end of the primary election cycle, over half of you

have already voted, but there are a stubborn few like me who still wait until Elec-tion Day. This was my first run for of-fice, and this is likely my last time I have to address vot-ers. Here are my closing thoughts on the direction of the county and some ac-complishments I achieved along the way.

One letter to the editor on my behalf was titled “Marin will be a voice for the people.” This genuinely means a lot to me. My strong opposition to raising the sales tax while peo-ple are hurting in the midst of an unpredictable pandemic gives voters a clear choice be-tween candidates. We can’t tax ourselves into prosperity. The county commission is already poised to raise the property tax and an additional sales tax sup-ported by my opponents is an additional burden we simply can’t afford.

However, this tax and spend style of governing is easier than putting in the work to find what can be cut, delayed or changed

to adjust our budget without raising taxes. I will be a full-time commissioner. In my first 25 years on the Miami-Dade po-lice force, I didn’t take a sick

day. I will dedicate myself to the work required.

Another area where I have proudly taken a stand is against Tallahassee influence in our local elections. One of my opponents has bene-fited from tens of thousands of dollars from a dark money group called the Committee to Protect Florida. This politi-

cal action committee (PAC) is funded by other PACs making the origin of the money nearly im-possible to trace as cited in the Treasure Coast Palm newspaper in 2018 and by the Chronicle’s own Fred Hiers when he re-ported on electioneering spend-ing by the Committee to Protect Florida in Ocala 13 years ago.

This type of dark influence has never before been seen in Citrus elections yet it is here now. We have to ask ourselves, if someone in the race is willing to personally benefit from tens of thousands of dollars of un-traceable Tallahassee funds now, then what will that same

person do with oversight of a $302,900,000 budget of our tax money?

You can trust my integrity and dedication will be to serve the people of Citrus County the way I served Miami-Dade County for 34 years as a police officer. This public safety expe-rience uniquely qualifies me for the position. Public safety is the largest line-item industry in the Citrus general fund from the sheriff ’s office, to fire ser-vices, emergency operations, and the county jail contract. I have hands-on experience no one else has in these fields.

In conclusion, I’m honored to have been called the voice of the people. Even though we have been up against faceless forces in Tallahassee dark money, I am proud to have spo-ken out about why it is bad for Citrus to have this unwelcome influence pour into our local races. Lastly, my ability to dedi-cate myself full-time to the posi-tion and my unique background in public safety that comprises nearly a quarter of the general fund best qualifies me for the position. My name is Luis Marin and I hope to have your vote on Election Day.

Luis Marin is a candidate for Citrus County Commission.

Florida a swing state

This is in response to Frank Lovell’s July 8 letter.

First of all, why do you feel you must write so hateful and demeaning to others? Here’s some facts toward your Flor-ida being a red state. In 1972, 69% vote Democrat, 28% vote Republican and 3% other. In 2016, Flor-ida was 38% Democrat, 36% Republican and 26% other. In 2018, 37% Dem-ocrat, 35% Republican and 28% other. At no time was Florida a Re-publican state. Florida is a swing state.

We vote according to who we believe will do right for us, our state and our country. As far as red and blue goes, in 1976, NBC was first in color TV. For visual effect, they color coded their map blue for Republi-cans and red for Demo-crats because blue was the color of the Union uniform in the civil war and conservatives in Eu-rope. As channels like CBS and ABC went to color, they used Red for Republicans, confusing the people who would change channels. Not until 2000 did all chan-nels use red for Republi-cans and blue for Democrats. I find it of-fensive to paint a whole state a color.

As far as your state-ment that whoever doesn’t vote Republican should go home, I am home. I was born here. We don’t need a dictator-ship; we need a

democracy. I was always taught that variety is the spice of life. Also, con-sidering you want Demo-crats and others to go home, should we take our money with us? Won’t that put a damper on all the money this state makes off of tour-ism? Sounds like your taxes would go up just for road upkeep and for other things we Demo-crats and others help to pay for.

Supreme Court decision a victory

Recently, the Supreme Court rendered a unani-mous decision; yes, you read that right, we now have a unanimous ruling against “faithless elec-tors.” All nine justices agreed states can en-force pledges made by presidential electors to support the presidential candidate preferred by the citizens of their re-spective states. While we’ll vote this coming November, the election is not official until the electors meet in their re-spective state capitals in December and cast their votes as promised when accepting the role of being an elector.

Lets take a quick look at the Electoral College, which happens to be an important part of our constitutional system that balances popular sovereignty with the ben-efits of a federal system — a Republic — in which state governments play a vital role. How many

electors is each state al-lowed? Each state is en-titled to a number equal to their two senators, plus the number of mem-bers they have in the House of Representa-tives. This unique ar-rangement is an attempt by our Founding Fathers to balance the interests of the smaller states with those of the larger states. This also forces the pres-idential candidates to not ignore those smaller states and campaign only in the large, urban popu-lation centers.

Have you ever won-dered what happens to faithless electors? Can their state remove them? Can their state punish or at least fine them? The Supreme Court just con-fronted the question of a faithless elector and con-cluded that the answer to both questions is a huge yes. In this deci-sion, the Supreme Court looked at the text of the Constitution instead of legislating from the bench — what a refresh-ing move — and at the historical practice that from the earliest days of our Republic showed that electors have pledged to vote for a par-ticular candidate rather than act as free agents!

Our Supreme Court has maintained that the sovereignty established in our Constitution and Electoral College must remain intact. “We the People” still chose our leaders through the Electoral College and re-tain ultimate sovereignty over our own affairs. The Supreme Courts decision on faithless electors is a

huge victory for Amer-ica! Again our Founding Fathers vision of the fu-ture was correct, and our rule of law still stands fast.

No future without historyMy heart is aching and

my eyes fill with tears watching and listening to the rhetoric of mostly young people screaming obscenities at police and yelling at the top of their lungs how they hate America, and some say-ing they are not free, and burning our flag, ripping down statues, defacing property, rioting and stealing without any re-gards to whom they do it to.

This country became free and raised the flag of freedom for which so many people gave every-thing they had, and many their lives. They do this because they are not ed-ucated enough and have not taken the time to do research themselves.

To disrespect the flag is to disrespect one’s self. When any person here the U.S. screams, “I am not free,” it shows they do not know our his-tory. The American flag is the very symbol of freedom for everyone, no matter what color, race or background. God made us equal, man is what divides us, and usu-ally for power and greed.

The next time anyone yells obscenities at po-lice or any authority

while standing in a crowd of protesters, thank the ones who gave their life to defend your right to do so and display the American flag as the symbol of these rights. American history is here to stay, even if you tear it down, burn the books and change the present. There is no future with-out history.

Don’t rename military bases

Veterans and citizens of Citrus County, support our Commander in Chief from those who want to rewrite American history by removing the names of Confederate officers from 10 military bases in the United States.

When I served in the U.S. Army, I was sta-tioned in three of these bases: Fort Benning, es-tablished in 1917; Fort Jackson, established in 1918; and Fort Rucker, established in 1942. As a native-born Yankee whose grandfather vol-unteered as a soldier for service to President Lin-coln in Springfield,

Illinois, not far from where the 16th president of the United States is at rest in the Lincoln Tomb, I can see no reason what-soever to rename these military posts. Millions of service members have passed through these 10 bases on their way to combat, with many re-turning in flag-draped coffins or buried on for-eign soil.

What’s next, rename the Florida counties of Baker, Bradford, Hendry, Lee and Pasco counties and remove a couple of hundred of statues around the country? I have sent my letter of op-position to this rewrite of American history by sending a letter to Presi-dent Donald J. Trump. You can reach him at: The White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Washington, DC 20500.

Watchdog: Homeland

Security officials wrongly appointed

WASHINGTON — The two most senior officials in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security were improperly appointed to the posts under federal law by the Trump administration, a nonpartisan congressional watchdog said Friday.

The Government Ac-countability Office says act-ing DHS Secretary Chad Wolf and his acting deputy, Ken Cuccinelli, are ineligible to run the agency under the Vacancy Reform Act.

It was not immediately clear what effects the deter-mination would have on DHS, an agency that has acting officials, serving with-out Senate confirmation, in a number of prominent roles and is at the forefront of key administration initia-tives on immigration and law enforcement.

The report does not carry the force of law, though it could be a factor in lawsuits challenging administration policies or influence mem-bers of Congress.

DHS rejected the finding.“We wholeheartedly dis-

agree with the GAO’s base-less report and plan to issue a formal response to this shortly,” the agency said in a written response to The Associated Press.

TS Kyle forms as Josephine weakens in

AtlanticMIAMI — Josephine con-

tinued to just barely hold on to its tropical storm status Friday as Tropical Storm Kyle formed in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of New England, packing winds near gale force but with no major population centers in its projected path.

Kyle was about 185 miles southeast of Atlantic City, New Jersey, with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph, the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said. It was moving east-northeast at 17 mph and was expected to move quickly away from land over the next few days, the center said.

Tropical storms have maximum sustained winds between 39 and 73 mph. No coastal watches or warnings were in effect.

Josephine had maximum sustained winds of 40 mph and was about 460 miles east of the northern Lee-ward Islands, the U.S. Na-tional Hurricane Center. Josephine was expected to weaken over the weekend, forecasters said. No coastal watches or warnings were in effect.

UN soundly defeats demand to extend arms embargo on IranUNITED NATIONS —

The U.N. Security Council on Friday resoundingly de-feated a U.S. resolution to indefinitely extend the U.N. arms embargo on Iran, with the Trump administration getting support from only the Dominican Republic.

The vote in the 15-member council was two in favor, two against and 11 abstentions, leaving it far short of the minimum nine “yes” votes required for adoption. Russia and China strongly opposed the reso-lution, but didn’t need to use their vetoes.

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced the defeat of the resolution ahead of a very brief virtual council meeting to reveal the vote.

Europe copes with new flareupsLeads to club

closings, masksSylvie Corbet,

FranCeS D’emilio anD DaviD Crary

Associated Press

PARIS — New flareups of COVID-19 are disrupt-ing the peak summer vaca-tion season across much of Europe, where authorities in some countries are re-imposing restrictions on travelers, closing night-clubs again, banning fire-works displays and expanding mask orders even in chic resort areas.

“Unfortunately, this virus doesn’t play ball,” British Transport Secre-tary Grant Shapps told Sky News.

The surges have spread alarm across Europe, which suffered mightily during the spring but ap-peared in recent months to have largely tamed the coronavirus in ways that the U.S., with its vaunted scientific prowess and the extra time to prepare, can-not seem to manage. The continent’s hardest-hit countries, Britain, Italy, France and Spain, have recorded about 140,000 deaths in all.

In addition to clubs and alcohol-fueled street par-ties, large family gather-ings — usually abounding with hugs and kisses — have been cited as a source of new outbreaks in several European countries.

A new public awareness campaign by Spain’s Ca-nary Islands depicts a family gathering for a

grandfather’s birthday, with people taking off masks and embracing. The grandfather ends up in a hospital bed with COVID-19.

In France, thousands of vacationing Britons scram-bled to return home Fri-day to avoid having to self-quarantine for 14 days following Britain’s deci-sion to reimpose restric-tions on France because of a resurgence of infections there. Ferries added extra trips back to England, and trains were running out of space.

Some of the toughest new measures were an-nounced in Spain, which has recorded almost 50,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases in the past 14 days.

Italy’s Health Ministry said 574 new COVID-19 cases were recorded on Friday — the highest daily number since May 28.

The outbreaks and new restrictions in Europe shouldn’t come as a sur-prise, said Josh Michaud, associate director of global health policy with the Kai-ser Family Foundation in Washington.

“Even the smallest chink in the armor can lead to an outbreak if you’re not careful,” Mi-chaud said. “In no country have we approached herd immunity, and we don’t have a vaccine.”

In Greece, authorities strongly recommended people wear masks for a week indoors and out in public areas after return-ing from domestic vaca-tion destinations with a high COVID-19 incidence.

Gatherings of more than nine people were

prohibited on two popular Greek resort islands, Paros and Antiparos, and a ban on restaurants, bars and nightclubs operating after midnight was ex-panded to more parts of the country, including Ath-ens. The steps came as Greece recorded its second-highest daily infec-tion numbers — 254 new cases.

There also were worri-some developments in other parts of the world:

n India’s death toll over-took Britain’s to become the fourth-highest in the world, with another

single-day record increase in cases Friday. The num-ber of dead hit more 48,000, behind the United States, with over 167,000; Brazil, with more than 105,000; and Mexico, with over 55,000.

n New Zealand’s gov-ernment extended a lock-down of its largest city, Auckland, for 12 more days as it tries to stamp out its first domestic out-break in more than three months, involving 30 peo-ple. Until the cluster was discovered Tuesday, New Zealand had gone 102 days with no reports of

infections spreading in the community. The only known cases involved trav-elers arriving from abroad.

n A man in his 20s be-came the youngest person to die of the coronavirus in Australia. He was among 14 new deaths and 372 new infections reported by Victoria state health offi-cials in an outbreak cen-tered in Melbourne.

n In Toronto, health offi-cials said as many as 550 people may have been ex-posed to COVID-19 at a strip club last week and urged them to quarantine themselves for 14 days.

Associated PressPeople queue in line to check-in for a British Airways flight to Heathrow airport, Friday Aug.14, 2020 at Nice airport, southern France. British holidaymakers in France were mulling whether to return home early Friday to avoid having to self-isolate for 14 days following the U.K. government’s decision to reimpose quarantine restrictions on France amid a recent pick-up in coronavirus infections.

Post Office warns of delays

brian SloDySko Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Postal Service has warned 46 states and the District of Columbia it can-not guarantee all ballots cast by mail for the Novem-ber election will arrive in time to be counted, The Washington Post reported Friday. Voters in several states also complained that some curbside mail collec-tion boxes were being removed.

Even as President Don-ald Trump rails against widescale voting by mail, the post office is bracing for an unprecedented number of mail-in ballots as a result of the coronavi-rus pandemic.

The warning letters sent to states and obtained by the Post raise the possibil-ity that tens of millions of Americans eligible for mail-in ballots this fall will not be able to use them — even if they follow elec-tion rules.

The revelation that some voters could be dis-enfranchised comes amid a campaign by Trump to sow doubts about the elec-tion. Though Trump casts his own ballots by mail, he’s vigorously criticized efforts to allow more peo-ple to do so, which he ar-gues without evidence will lead to increased voter fraud. Recently, members of Congress from both par-ties have voiced concerns that post office mail boxes, which is how many will cast their ballots, have abruptly been removed.

And at the same time that the need for timely delivery of the mail is peaking, service has been curtailed amid cost- cutting and efficiency measures ordered by the Trump-appointed new postmaster general, Louis DeJoy, a former

supply-chain CEO and a major political donor to Trump and other Republi-cans. He has implemented measures to eliminate overtime pay and hold mail over if distribution centers are running late.

A spokesman for the Postal Service did not im-mediately respond to a re-quest for comment.

Officials in Michigan, Oregon, Virginia, Iowa, Ohio, California, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Utah and New York all confirmed to The Associated Press that they had received the Postal Service letters of warning.

“This is a deeply trou-bling development in what is becoming a clear pat-tern of attempted voter suppression by the Trump administration,” Demo-cratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam said in a state-ment. “I am committed to making sure all Virginians have access to the ballot box, and will continue to work with state and fed-eral lawmakers to ensure safe, secure and accessi-ble elections this fall.”

Kim Wyman, the Repub-lican secretary of state in Washington state, where all voting is by mail, said sending fall ballot mate-rial to millions of voters there is a “routine opera-tion of the U.S. Postal Service.”

“Politicizing these ad-ministrative processes is dangerous and under-mines public confidence in our elections,” she said in a statement. “This vol-ume of work is by no means unusual, and is an operation I am confident the U.S. Postal Service is sufficiently prepared to fulfill.”

Meanwhile, the removal of U.S. Postal Service mail boxes triggered concerns and anger in Oregon and Gianforte.

Nancy KennedyGRACE NOTES

RELIGION NOTES

On March 1, 2020, just weeks before the coronavirus

pandemic caused the world to spin off its axis, singer-songwriters Kari Jobe and Cody Carnes performed their song “The Blessing” at a Char-lotte, North Carolina, church worship service.

Taken from a familiar Old Testament benedic-tion found in Numbers 6:24-26, they sang: “The Lord bless you and keep you, make his face shine upon you ... turn his face toward you and give you peace.”

They sang: “May his favor be upon you and a thousand generations — your family and your chil-dren and their children and their children.”

They sang: “God is for you, not against you ... God is with you — in your comings and your goings, in your rejoicing and your weeping. He is in you, all around you. He goes before you and behind you.”

And the hundreds, maybe thousands, in the congregation sang” “Amen, amen, amen ...”

You can view the 12-minute video of the live performance on YouTube at https://tinyurl.com/vnu3fbd.

The first time I saw the video and sang along, alone in my living room, I felt the power of the words of scripture, the very words of God, speak-ing to my heart.

“May his favor be upon you ... your family (MY family!) and your children (MY children!) and their children and their children.”

In this time of global and national uncertainty and upheaval, it’s balm to my anxious heart and soul to hear these words of blessing and benediction.

That made me curious — what exactly is a benediction?

Usually, the benedic-tion part of a church ser-vice is when the pastor gives his parting words. However, it goes beyond “Have a good week. See ya soon.”

The one I call my uncle dad said “benediction” simply means a blessing with the power of God be-hind it.

Christianity Today writer Lee Eclov writes that a benediction is “a good word, the best of words from God” and isn’t merely a wish (“I hope the Lord blesses you”), but a declaration (“The Lord blesses you — he really does.”).

“It doesn’t tell us what God WILL do for us, but what God is doing ever and always for his peo-ple,” he writes. “It’s sort of an uber-promise. When a pastor raises his hands and says these words (of benediction) as an emis-sary of the Lord himself, then God’s people really are blessed.”

In some churches the pastor will say, “Let’s stand for the benedic-tion,” and some will sug-gest that people hold out their hands in front of them, palms up, as a re-minder that a blessing from God is to be received.

Last month I wrote about communication. Talking and listening.

We use text and emails so much because they are quick, but I’m finding out over and again, they are poor for communication.

There are times where my inner voice yells and says “pick up the phone!” Oh yeah, that thing which everyone uses to ping each other with abbreviated verses is really dis-guised as a telephone.

Have you ever heard the term “pause for effect?” I find myself pausing to think, reflect and ac-tually decide on how to best communicate.

I have also discovered I have

a whole list of things to do today and I’m thinking about my list while someone is trying to talk to me, and I’m only listening

halfheartedly be-cause I’m hoping they hurry up and finish so I can get on with my list. The problem with this is I have found by not lis-tening to the person, it really messes up the rest of my day and the rest of my list.

There is something interesting about all of the Zoom meetings

we are having. People can get distracted very easily because when you are meeting in a room, we would never dream of doing some of the things we do on Zoom because no one else is in

the room.Have you heard of some of the

stories or seen some of them? I was doing some bills during one meeting. I know, no matter how much we try to convince our-selves, I cannot do two things at once and continue undivided at-tention. How funny we even try, and pride ourselves on multi-tasking. If I considered it longer, it might even be rude to every-one else.

We also communicate with body language. Facial expres-sions can say more than words at times.

We just went through a new roof campaign at the shelter which cost $75,000. I felt a video expressed our gratitude and the finished work much better than emails or letters.

The Path has always had a newsletter with pictures to help

us capture what words could not.

Last night, The Path sent out its first video to report to our do-nors about our work. I’m excited about this new technology (and as I have expressed, I’m not giddy about all of it). It will greatly help us show the work and put a reality touch on re-porting not possible in the past because of the amount of people and finding the right words, even if people would read it all.

This video tool allows all of our friends to view a one-minute report instantly and see what is happening in real time with real people.

We also are planning to Zoom High Holidays services, maybe from the sanctuary if possible. We

also are considering having congregants attend in person if conditions improve, while still Zooming the service. We would be following strict health guidelines.

Come sit back and enjoy singing your favor-ite hymns. Pastor Hoyt will be there to say hello to everyone. For your enjoyment may purchase a soda, bottled water or an ice cream sandwich for $1 each during the event.

Due to the uncertainties regarding the COVID-19 situation, the November concert at Homosassa First United Methodist Church has been canceled. As of now, the other three concerts of the Music Series are still scheduled. The Brass Roots Trio will perform Jan. 17, 2021; gospel pia-nist Timothy Noble will be featured Feb. 27. To end this season, the “Neil Diamond of the South,” Bobby Palermo, will take the stage March 7. Tick-eting information will be forthcoming.

It’s a gift of grace, from Creator to created beings.

“Ultimately, that’s the secret to being blessed,” Eclov writes. “We must re-ceive what God gives, and we do that by faith.”

In tumultuous times like these, we need to re-ceive and hold on to these benedictions.

So, I’d like to leave you with my favorite benedic-tion, found in the New Testament book of Jude:

“Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever.”

And all God’s people said, “Amen!”

Nancy Kennedy is the author of “Move Over, Victoria — I Know the Real Secret,” “Girl on a Swing” and “Lipstick Grace.” She can be reached at 352-564-2927 or via email at nkennedy@ chronicleonline.com.

Due to the COVID-19 pan-demic, the Dunnellon Con-cert Series at Dunnellon Presbyterian Church has been canceled for the fall quarter. Plans will be made to start up again in January 2021 and further details will be posted as soon as avail-able. We appreciate every-one’s continued support and look forward to being to-gether in 2021.

St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church in Homo-sassa has resumed Bereave-ment Support Group Thursday meetings in the hall behind the church. We take a positive approach to grief by helping grievers learn how to make a new life.

Thirty years of experience has taught us how to help make a positive difference in person’s life. The group meets 1:15-3 p.m. St. Thomas the Apostle is on U.S. 19, 300 yards southwest of Cardinal, just past Walmart, on the west side. For information, call 352-220-1959.

Floral City United Meth-odist Church is in its main

sanctuary for Sunday 9:30 a.m. services. The church is following CDC guidelines and Methodist dis-trict requirements including social distancing, alternate pews with only same-family members sitting together.

The entire sanctuary is sanitized weekly. There is no direct contact of members, nor congregational singing, but musical performances by gospel artists are being shown on the big screen during the service. The church service is at 9:30 a.m. Sunday with Pastor Joyce Dunne. The services can also be viewed on Facebook for those who prefer to remain home at this time.

For more information, con-tact the Floral City United Methodist Church at 352-344-1771. For those attend-ing, the church encourages everyone to bring nonperish-able food to be deposited in the entrance foyer that will be distributed to those in need in Citrus County.

First Baptist Church of Beverly Hills is open for Sunday service. Restrictions and social distancing still apply, and we ask that you wear masks for the comfort of others.

We will continue with video

of our services for those that may not yet be comfortable with returning to church, and many more that have en-joyed the sermon from afar. There are no youth activities yet, and children are wel-come to attend service with their parents. Please enjoy pastor’s sermons online on our website, www.fbcbh.com.

St. Anne’s Episcopal Church in Crystal River is open for 8 a.m. and 10:15 a.m. Mass on Sunday. St. Anne’s is at 9870 W. Fort Island Trail, Crystal River. Call 352-795-2176.

North Oak Baptist Church has reopened the doors for worship services on Sundays under some restric-tions. There are two services — at 9 a.m. and at 10:45 a.m. Safety precau-tions are in place.

Registration for seats is re-quested so that people are seated at a distance from one another.

There are labels on the floor and driveway to main-tain social distancing for those waiting to be seated. Every other pew is empty and all of the facilities being used are cleaned between services.

The doors open 15

minutes prior to the service and the congregation is dis-missed by pews at the end of each service. Ushers and greeters are appropriately masked and gloved although masks are not required for worshippers.

We invite anyone and ev-eryone to call our church office at 489-1688 to request a seat. All are welcome; however, no children’s activities or child care is available yet. For those not yet comfortable with gath-ering, a streamlined service is available on YouTube after 3 p.m. each Sunday by going to northoakbc. North Oak is at 9324 N. Elkcam Blvd. in Citrus Springs.

First Lutheran Church of Inverness will reopen its food pantry from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

The church has also started live services. Services will be at 9 a.m. for the time being and a live podcast at www.1stlutheran.church will continue with all services and Bible studies on Wednesday. For more information, call the church at 352-7261637. The church is at 1900 W. State Road 44, Inverness.

Cross Bound Ministry broadcasts with a focus on Bible teaching and

Faith Lutheran Church at 935 S Crystal Glen Drive in Lecanto has discontinued the 11 a.m. Sunday service, but continues our normal service schedule of 6 p.m. Saturdays and 9:30 a.m. Sundays.

Sermons and other materi-als are also available on our website www.faithlecanto.com.

Shalom House of Prayer @ The Path Family of God Rescue Mission, 4395 N. Le-canto, Highway, Beverly Hills, has Upper Room prayers Continuous Prayer Praise Worship open to everyone. Join members of the body of Christ as we unite and part-ner with the work of the Lord in prayer and fasting until Pentecost Sunday for the “outpouring of the Spirit on all flesh.” (Joel 2:28; Acts 2:17); 120 of Jesus’ disciples gath-ered in the Upper Room for 10 days until the promised Holy Spirit was poured out upon them.

28 August 9 - 15, 2020 Viewfinder Citrus County (FL) ChroniCLe

You are enjoying your breakfast and reading the bridge column in the paper. Suddenly the phone rings. You jump, then reach for the receiver.

“Good morning.”“Hi ...” You recognize the voice of

your uncle. He knows you have had some success at the game but se-cretly thinks that he plays better than you. He calls only when he has a tough problem.

You write down the North-South cards in today’s diagram. Before you can protest about the bidding, your uncle tells you that West leads the heart king and continues with the heart ace. You ruff and cash two top trumps, East discarding the club jack on the second.

“How would you continue, Nephew?”

At least you have a chance to re-turn to your breakfast while you think. Clearly East has the club ace; otherwise, West would have opened the bidding. You have con-ceded two tricks, so you must avoid two club losers. This requires dis-carding three clubs from hand on dummy’s diamonds before West can ruff in with the spade jack and lead a club through dummy’s king.

There is only one way to do that: Assume West has four diamonds.

“All right, Uncle, I cash the spade queen and diamond king. Then I lead the diamond eight and finesse dummy’s 10.”

Immediately the line goes dead. Now you know that the 10 wins, al-lowing you to cash the diamond ace-queen and discard clubs while West has to follow suit impotently. West ruffs the diamond five, but you have discarded your penulti-mate club loser. Contract made.

8 p.m. on (BBCA)

EarthflightThe series embarks on a grand tour of “Europe” in this new episode, which sends cameras soaring with flocks of cranes and geese over such diverse land-scapes as Venice, Edinburgh and the white cliffs of Dover. Mean-while, white storks leave Africa and struggle to make it through their exhausting flight path to

Istanbul, a gateway to Europe, while some 20 million starlings perform one of nature’s most dazzling aerial displays over the eternal city of Rome. David Tennant is the narrator.

8 p.m. on (HBO)

Movie: Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of

One Harley Quinn)Margot Robbie reprises her “Suicide Squad” role as Harley Quinn in this 2020 follow-up to that dark 2016 hit. Directed by Cathy Yan, this new entry follows Harley, who has cut ties with The Joker, as she teams up with crime heiress Helena Bertinelli (Mary Elizabeth Win-stead), club singer Dinah Lance (Jurnee Smollett-Bell) and police detective Renee Montoya (Rosie Perez) to rescue a teen pickpock-et who has been kidnapped by a brutal crime lord (Ewan Mc-Gregor). Chris Messina and Ali Wong also are featured.

8 p.m. on (TDC)

Sharks of Ghost IslandGhost Island, located on the edge of the Bermuda Triangle, is shunned by locals in the region

as a place of savage shark attacks and deadly shipwrecks. In fact, Dr. Craig O’Connell’s first trip to this island, to investigate a possi-ble shark hot spot, had to be cut short when his own boat nearly sank. Now he’s back, this time with a team of experts, determined to understand what about this area makes it such a magnet for sharks.

9 p.m. on (TDC)

Wicked SharksGreat White shark attacks off Cape Cod are starting to spike, affording an opportunity for shark expert Dr. Greg Skomal to break out some cutting-edge tech that will capture the shark’s point of view, pro-viding new insights into how and where they hunt. His team hopes their research will en-hance public safety in the area.

9 p.m. on (TRAV)

BelieversA mother is understandably horrified to discover that her daughter’s “imaginary friend” actually is a dangerous demon-ic entity in the new episode “Paranormal Playdate.” In other segments, a bar manager

inadvertently triggers a terrify-ing haunting when she unearths an old photograph, and a fami-ly’s new home is haunted by a long-dead inhabitant.

10 p.m. on (TRAV)

Hotel ParanormalA terrified cocktail waitress finds herself under attack by an array of malicious entities in the new episode “Haunted by Many.” In other segments, while he’s renovating a structure that formerly housed a brothel, a bed-and-breakfast owner fights off the unwanted but persistent attentions of a succubus. Dan Aykroyd is the narrator.

11 p.m. on (TDC)

I Was Prey: Terrors From the Deep

In this new one-hour install-ment, a diverse group that includes a surfer from Califor-nia, a University of Alabama football coach, a Canadian thrill-seeker and a mother from North Carolina shares their sto-ries of how each of them came face-to-face with the ocean’s ace predator and lived to tell their tale.

Dear Annie: You’ve prob-ably heard this story a hundred times before.

One of my daughters is in an abusive marriage. It is not physical, but verbal abuse. Her husband is incredibly con-trolling: My daughter has no access to money or even mail. She has no freedom of choice in what she does, and he at-tempts to isolate her from fam-ily. He manipu-l a t e s every sit-u a t i o n , e v e r y possible situation to his a d v a n -tage.

M y daughter k n o w s that she has full support from her parents and siblings, yet she freezes when she thinks of actually taking the step to leave him. They have a 6-year-old daughter who seems emotionally fragile; I suspect this is from what she has observed at home.

How do I support my daugh-ter when I am so frustrated and saddened by how broken she is? What do I say to assure her that I am ready to help her, but she has to do the heavy lift-ing? — Always a Mom

Dear Always: I know it’s frustrating and heartbreaking to watch a loved one in an abu-sive relationship. But if your daughter feels as though you’re angry or frustrated with her, it only plays into his hand. You must keep the faith and keep the patience. According to the National Domestic Vio-lence Hotline, on average a survivor will leave their abuser seven times before leaving them for good. And it isn’t because they’re broken or weak; it’s because it’s an ex-tremely difficult situation for anyone to leave, for a variety of reasons: fear of retaliation, a sense of shame or embarrass-ment or a lack of financial re-sources, to name just a few. The more you understand the complexities of abuse, the more you will sympathize with your daughter’s apparent hes-itation. Visit www.thehotline.org or call 800-799-7233 any-time for information, re-sources and support. It’s free and confidential.

Dear Annie: “Deliberating Diarist” and others who have asked about what to do with a diary of their most intimate thoughts and experiences might do well to take the long view. As a historian, I have read many diaries, journals and memoirs, some of which were never intended to be read by someone decades or even centuries later. What I have found in those diaries is the spirit of people who con-quered life’s tragedies and dif-ficulties and moved forward often to a good life. Personal diaries can be roadmaps for future generations. They help us navigate our own rocky roads.

“Deliberating Diarist” has a great treasure in her complete diary. Her children will see her and her husband’s strug-gles and their triumph over alcoholism. This might in-crease their affection and ad-miration for their grandfather and offer lessons in per-sistence and love. Even the saddest diaries help us under-stand how real lives are lived and help us find beauty and goodness in our own lives.

For those who are wonder-ing about leaving a diary to a historic institution, they should ask if their diary can be set aside for some period of time— maybe 50 years — so that sensitive names and events will not hurt living peo-ple. This is often possible and eventually gives historians the raw material from which we recreate the history of ordi-nary people. — Historian

Dear Historian: I appreciate your wide-lens perspective and professional opinion. Thanks for taking the time to write.
