The grant, from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, will be distributed by a local board that includes repre-sentatives from the Mid Florida Homeless Coalition, St. Timo-thy’s Lutheran Church, the Sal-vation Army, Citrus County government, Key Training Cen-ter and United Way of Citrus County.

The county has distributed emergency food and shelter funds previously with Daystar Life Center of Citrus County, United Way of Citrus County, and others. Agencies used the funds to provide rental and utility assistance.

Agencies interested in receiv-ing funds may apply at www. citrusunitedway.org.

The deadline to apply for funding is 4 p.m. Friday, June 12.

Storm could bring rain to Florida

The National Hurricane Cen-ter is tracking Tropical Storm Cristobal, which continued Wednesday, June 3, 2020, to bring heavy rain and tropical storm-force winds to southern Mexico.

The National Weather Service (NWS) has it turning into the Gulf of Mexico toward the south-east and east Wednesday night, followed by a turn toward the north-northeast and north Thurs-day night and Friday.

The NWS said the potential for rain, possibly heavy, is in store for Florida through Sunday with some areas possibly receiv-ing 4 inches. That raises the concern of localized flooding but it’s still too early to tell.

ORLANDO — Florida bars, bowling alleys and theme parks will be part of the next phase of reopening the state in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Wednesday.

DeSantis made his announce-ment at Universal Orlando Re-sort, which opened to passholders for Wednesday and Thursday, and will open to the public on Friday.

“Amusement parks — we’re here right now — we wanted them to work with their local governments to submit plans,” DeSantis said. “Universal did a great job, had a great plan, and I think as you’ve seen, they’re tak-ing safety very seriously to keep their guests safe.”

Friday is also the day where Phase 2 of the reopening will begin, with bars allowed to open at 50% capacity with social dis-tancing and sanitation.

“You’re seated to get served.

People go, enjoy, have a drink, that’s fine, We want to kind of not have huge crowds piling in,” DeSantis said.

Phase 2 applies to 64 of Flori-da’s 67 counties. The hardest hit — Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach — will have to sub-mit plans for the next step in their reopening.

Florida allowed restaurants and retail shops to open at 25% capacity on May 4 and expanded that later in the month.

Movie theaters, bowling alleys

and pari-mutuel betting facilities also have a path to reopen if they submit a plan for social distanc-ing and sanitizing, DeSantis said.

In Orlando, crosstown rival, SeaWorld Orlando, plans to open its parks next week, and Walt Disney World will start a phased reopening of its parks next month.

As of Wednesday, Florida had more than 58,700 coronavirus cases and more than 2,500 re-lated deaths, according to the Florida Department of Health.

It was a typical Sun-day for Justin and Tif-fany Hise as well as their almost 11-month-old daughter, Kyleigh, as the trio spent the day on the water in and around King’s Bay.

But as the family made its return to the boat ramp, the day would turn from typical into harrowing.

Justin on Sunday, May 31, 2020, had backed the family truck down the boat ramp be-hind the Day’s Inn Re-sort in Crystal River, as his wife, Tiffany, watched from close by. Kyleigh had already been placed in the truck. Justin put the truck in park, engaged the emergency brake

and locked the tires into 4-wheel drive.

“The whole 9 yards,” Justin added.

Justin then cranked

the boat on the trailer and as soon he stepped off, “everything” started sliding into the water. Justin got

dragged under his truck as it descended into the water, but he “fought out” from un-derneath and got to the driver’s door, before getting wedged be-tween the dock and the driver’s side door.

“I was standing on the dock watching it happen,” Tiffany said.

Then the panic set in.“I just started scream-

ing, ‘my baby is in there, get my baby, get my baby,’” Tiffany recalled. “I was just assuming (the truck) was going to stop.”

As Tiffany leapt into the waters, Justin had broken free from being pinned between the dock and the driver’s side door and had made his way to the front of the truck. Tiffany, in the meantime, had made her way to the family boat.

The Hises, however, discovered they weren’t alone as a trio of by-standers — Shay Wood-side, Garrett Watt and Herb Hurley — had sprung into action.

Hair-raising moment

ended with help of locals

Special to the ChronicleA Sunday adventure for the Hise family, Tiffany, left, and Justin with their daughter, Kyleigh, almost 11 months old, turned into harrowing situation when their truck slipped into the water after pulling their boat out of the water. Thanks to Justin’s actions and those of several bystanders, they were able to get their daughter out of the back seat of the truck before it sank.

Citrus County Demo-crats are calling on Mike Klyap Jr. to drop his campaign for sheriff after he re-ferred to peaceful protesters in Mar-ion County as “animals.”

The party also called on the county’s Republi-can Executive Committee to denounce Klyap’s comments, which were posted on Facebook partially in response to live video of a Saturday

demonstration in Ocala where protesters blocked State Road 200 with police assistance.

“Breaking laws isn’t pro-testing peacefully but then again, you can’t change animals from being animals,” Klyap wrote.

D e m o c r a t i c Party chairman Bob Maderiros said the comments are offensive.

“The concern is a candi-date who wants to be the sheriff of all the people of Citrus County is referring to citizens as animals,”

Maderiros said Wednes-day, June 3, 2020. “We do not feel this is the kind of inclusive person that should be representing the police in preserving and protecting the citizens of Citrus County.”

As for the Republican response, Maderiros said: “They should at least ac-knowledge that it is not ac-ceptable behavior.”

Klyap, one of four Re-publicans and one no-party affiliate candidate running for sheriff, said he has no plans to withdraw.

Citrus County’s courtrooms will soon be re-hosting public hearings — on a very limited basis.

“We’re very close to moving into phase two,” said Circuit Court Judge Richard “Ric” How-ard, speaking Tuesday as the county’s admin-istrative judge. “I think we’re in a very good situation.”

Howard said Daniel B. Merritt Jr., chief judge over Florida’s Fifth Judicial Circuit, which cov-ers Citrus County, is working with staff to pre-pare an order announcing the circuit’s readiness to the Florida Supreme Court, which has a phased plan to reopen courts statewide.

“I’m not stepping down,” he said. “I’m not buying into them. It was never about race. It never was about a specific group of people.”

Republican party chairman George Gaspar-ini said the party does not interfere with candidates or their campaigns.

“There really is noth-ing we can do,” he said. “Anyone can call them-selves what they want and run, and use the name Republican or Democrat. It doesn’t mean we support them.”

Gasparini said he had not seen Klyap’s Face-book comments. When a reporter read to him Klyap’s comment regard-ing the Marion County protest, Gasparini said he disagreed with it.

“People are not animals,” he said. “Anytime anyone

refers to people as an ani-mal, that’s a disgrace. They need to go back to school and learn the difference be-tween human beings and animals.”

Klyap said reaction from Gasparini, who Klyap said is a supporter of in-cumbent Sheriff Mike Per-ndergast, is predictable.

“I wouldn’t expect any-thing different,” he said.

Maderiros said he real-izes a statement by the Democratic Executive Committee, or DEC, may not carry much weight. With official ballot quali-fying next week, the party has no candidates in Cit-rus County partisan races, though a Democrat is in the race both for the U.S. House of Represen-tatives and state House.

“I don’t think Mr. Klyap will be terribly con-cerned,” he said, “with what the DEC thinks.”

After passing a tempera-ture check at the front door, visitors can still enter the Citrus County Courthouse in Inverness to do limited business on the first floor with court clerks.

In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Florida Supreme Court in mid-March ordered courts to cancel in-person pro-ceedings, and hold remote hearings on essential mat-ters such as first appear-ances, bonds, Baker Acts, juvenile detentions and domestic violence injunctions.

Non-essential issues, like status hearings and civil cases, have been put on pause.

Jury duties and trials were suspended through July 2, and constitutional deadlines for speedy trials

and first-degree murder hearings were also post-poned until early July.

Howard said judges and well-prepared attorneys have been able to conduct and resolve non-essential hearings on an as-needed basis.

“We want to do a lot more,” Howard said.

On May 21, state justices released an order outlin-ing a four-phased ap-proach for courts to follow as they adapt to the coro-navirus pandemic.

Citrus County’s court-rooms are still in phase one, which means they’re closed to the public and in-person hearings are rare. As the phases in-crease, so does the pub-lic’s access to the courts.

“That’ll free up some of our people to come back into the courtroom,” How-ard said.

Howard said one topic of contention is whether court attendees must wear masks.

“There’s a lot of push-back against that ... it’s one of the things in flux,” he said. “Who’s going to pay for all those masks?”

Once in phase two, How-ard said clerks will call cases up to be heard one at a time, and those parties next on the docket will have to wait outside the courtroom.

Howard said a minimal amount of people will be allowed in his courtroom, restricted to attorneys, de-fendants and victims.

“You’re not going to see 150 people in my court-room anymore,” the judge said.

Before justices decide to expand courtroom ca-pabilities, they want to

know, among other crite-ria, if their circuits show at least 14 days of improve-ments in reporting COVID-19 cases.

Health experts will look at proportionate changes in Citrus County’s old and new cases to help deter-mine a trend, but Howard said he’s optimistic.

“We’re in pretty good shape for holding our own or going down,” he said, adding a rise in test-ing could increase the number of positive cases. “Either way, overall, we’re in a pretty good posture.”

“Thank you,” the Hises said, with Justin adding: “To be honest, they’ll tell you, I was extremely calm, I didn’t do a lot of talking, there was business to be done and there was no room for error.”

Justin had planned to bust the window out with a bar he had, but by the time he planned to react, Wood-side had grabbed a chair and shoved it through the back window.

“The window broke pretty clean,” Justin said. “(Kyleigh) was, for the most part, unscathed. As soon as I appeared through, she stuck her arms straight out at me, she knew I was coming to get her.”

Woodside and Hurley were fur-ther down the parking lot at the boat ramp when they heard people screaming. The pair ran down to the boat ramp to see what the commo-tion was all about.

“We asked the mom if anyone was in the vehicle, so we jumped in the water,” said Woodside, who owns and operates Dunnellon Jewelry and Pawn. “We tried opening the truck, but at that point, the water was too high. I climbed into the back of the truck, the father got into the back of the truck. We found out where the girl was in the back, and broke the window.”

Watt had been out with family and friends and just pulled out in front of the Hises. He was unpacking items and preparing to leave for the day when he heard people yelling. Watt and his friend, Dylan Buzbee, and others ran over to the water. Watt said as soon as he realized it was Justin Hise and his wife, a fam-ily he’s known his entire life, he wanted to help out even more so.

Watt got the Hises to put the child in a life jacket and hand her to him, as Justin climbed into the water. He helped both of them swim to shore

when he went back to help Tiffany. Upon getting them all back to shore, Buzbee’s wife, Kelly, a nurse exam-ined the toddler, wrapped her in a towel and got her to calm down, Watt said.

“Instinct mode just kicked in,” Watt said about providing help. “It’s just instinct, you get that kid or whoever. You can replace the truck, the other items you lost, but you can’t replace a person. It was a very scary day.”

Both the Citrus County Sheriff ’s Office and Crystal River Fire De-partment had been dispatched to the scene, but by the time first re-sponders had arrived, the toddler had been safely removed from the truck, which along with the boat trailer, had sunk.

“It was a heroic deal,” said Crystal River Fire Chief Jack Dumas.

Watt, like the other good Samari-tans who helped out, have been hailed as heroes.

“I don’t see myself as hero, but that’s just the way I was raised,” said Watt, who works at Crystal Au-tomotive. “I’d hope the same thing would be done for me.”

To use the word “hero,” Woodside said, is overdoing it.

“I did what anyone I hoped would have done in that situation,” he ex-plained. “I think afterward about the things that could have gone wrong … I’m no hero, I would like to think any-one would have done the same thing considering the circumstances. Re-gardless of who was in the vehicle, we would have done whatever we could to help as best we could.”

The Citrus County Sheriff ’s Office intends to recognize the citizens for their valor, according to a sheriff ’s office spokeswoman.

“We thank them deeply for their bravery,” said Jodi Sanders, agency spokeswoman.

Thanks, the family said, probably doesn’t do the justice it deserves for those who assisted the couple.

“Thank you very much for all of your help,” Justin stressed. “At that

point in time, it was nice to have someone there to assist us busting that window out.”

Despite the rough weekend, Tif-fany Hise said, the family is “all good.”

“It seems like a blur now,” she said. “I just remember my husband and the other gentleman got her out, handed her to me, handed her off to him on the boat. Then he handed the baby to Garrett.”

The one valuable lesson Justin and Tiffany have learned from this weekend’s event.

“Do not put your babies in a vehi-cle when putting a boat in and pull-ing it out of the water,” Tiffany stressed. “No one should be in that vehicle unless you’re the driver, that truck and boat went down so fast; I believe no one should be in that truck until (the boat) is completely out of the water. Whether it’s a baby, child, or even adult, no one should be in the vehicle.”

Justin agreed.“Just make sure your children ar-

en’t in the vehicle, just take every precaution you can ... things can take a turn even if you’re as careful as possible,” he explained. “With all of the experience we have, it still happened.”

Both admitted they’re gun shy about putting a boat in the water in the near future but anxious to get over their newfound fear.

“That’s a fierce passion of ours, I don’t want that to ruin it for us,” Tif-fany said.

“I am (anxious) to go boating again, stuff like that is going to hap-pen, it’s just one of those freak things that happens,” he said. “I’ll be glad to put my boat in the water again.”

It certainly won’t happen at the same location.

“I’d be lying if I told you I will go to that ramp,” he admitted. “To be honest, I don’t think I’ll ever go put back in at that ramp again; it’s not a happy memory.”

For the RECORD

Fred HiersStaff writer

Visitors to Inverness parks will soon be greeted with signs wel-coming them to the facili-ties, but also warnings about the hazards of smoking and encourage-ment not to light up.

In a 4-0 vote, the city council approved to move forward with an agree-ment with Tobacco Free Florida to place state-funded signs educating visitors about second hand smoke in its parks and signs at park play-grounds asking people to refrain from smoking al-together. Council Ken Hinkle was absent from the meeting.

Council members ap-proved the move without discussion, originally voicing support earlier

this year to try and curb smoking at the p a r k s . Initially, city resi-d e n t M i k e Wr i g h t

called upon the council to strongly discourage smoking at the facilities and install signs to that end.

“I fully support the to-bacco-free initiative for the parks. I think its bril-liant,” Wright told the council Tuesday before the vote. “It’s one of the best moves … this city has done to come up with a program to encourage folks not to smoke, not to do things that bother oth-ers in the parks, espe-cially around the kids, around the playground.”

“It’s a great timing too,” he said, citing the city’s recent decision to reopen the parks following the coronavirus pandemic. “If there’s ever a chance for a restart, this is it. This is the time to do that that. I’ve got a feeling we’re going to see really cool things happen. Trust me.”

Wright is also a re-porter for the Citrus Chronicle.

Aspen Welfel, a Depart-ment of Health in Citrus County employee who oversees smoking cessa-tion efforts, will provide the council with signage options. Once the council selects signage, Tobacco Free Florida will provide the signs as no charge to the city.

Welfel asked the coun-cil to designate all city parks as “tobacco free zones” and to

“discourage tobacco use” in these public places.

“There are no safe lev-els of second hand smoke,” Welfel said.

But the city is limited in what smoking bans it can enforce.

Currently, state law pre-empts local ordi-nances from banning smoking and does not allow local communities to ban outdoor smoking, i n c l u d i n g i n playgrounds.

City Attorney Robert Batsel told the council the city can only encour-age smokers not to smoke when it comes to outdoor facilities.

“For outdoor purposes we can’t legally enforce … any prohibition,” Bat-sel told the council. “We can definitely suggest, beg, plead and do every-thing else we can.”

“Our sheriff cannot ar-rest, our code enforce-ment officers can’t cite for violations for any-thing like that,” he warned.

City Manager Eric Wil-liams said while he rec-ognized that the city is limited as to an all-out ban against outdoor smoking, people have curbed smoking at playgrounds.

“We have always tried to have our playgrounds be designated as no smoking,” he told the council. “We’ve been fairly successful with that. But this partnership with the State of Florida Tobacco Free Florida (is another step forward).”

While council mem-bers did not comment about the issue before the vote, they supported the move during previous meetings on the issue.

A few days before the council meeting Tuesday,

Council-m a n D a v i d R y a n said he w o u l d support signs, but w a n t s them to be clear

that they are educational and not a ban.

“I have no problem put-ting out the signs,” he said, but added he did not want people to feel they could not smoke in areas outside playgrounds.

“We want people to take into consideration children are around,” he said. “We’re just trying to educate.”

Aire Serv: Safety top priorityBUSINESS SPOTLIGHT

Mike WrigHtStaff writer

As restrictions are slowly lifted and people venture outdoors, one Cit-rus County business hopes that will also open up homes for technicians.

Aire Serv of Citrus County, an air condition-ing contractor located at 6575 W. Gulf to Lake Hwy., in Crystal River, had to shut down like many busi-nesses during the stay-at-

home order.“We locked our doors

and didn’t let anyone come in,” Jennifer Yox said. “Some of our office staff worked from home while others worked from the office.”

With a job that requires hands-on air conditioning repair, work-at-home only goes so far. Yox said the business is letting custom-ers know of the safety pre-c a u t i o n s , s a y i n g technicians wear masks,

booties and gloves to keep customers safe.

“Customers are still not sure if they want techni-cians in their home yet, due to the virus,” Yox said. “We are taking all precau-tions to keep our custom-ers’ safety of high importance.”

Despite the current pan-demic, Yox is optimistic for the business, which has operated in Citrus County since 1996.

“I envision the business

growing,” she said. “We are a family and veteran run business and we strive in providing excellent cus-tomer service to our customers.”

Amy Clovis Piano Studio goes onlineCHristine Marino

In the midst of all the uncertainty that has come with the recent health pandemic, many local businesses have been left to ponder the future of their position within the county.

Even the most successful busi-nesses with loyal customers have been worrying about what the fu-ture may hold for them.

The Amy Clovis Piano Studio has operated in Citrus County for 11 years and has had to make major ad-justments during this challenging time.

To follow social distancing guide-lines, the studio, located in Citrus Springs, switched all lessons over to online video meetings so they could continue to meet with students in the comfort and safety of their own homes.

“We moved from in-person to on-line piano and group baby and tod-dler music classes,” Clovis explained.

Switching multiple curriculums over to online courses is no small task, but Clovis knew it had to be done in order to continue offering services to customers and keep business coming in for the studio.

As the stay-at-home order has re-cently been lifted, Clovis is begin-ning to transition back to in-person

classes. This process requires de-tailed planning and careful consid-eration of customer safety.

“The biggest challenge I face is helping my families feel safe to re-turn to in-person classes,” she said.

Clovis hopes that as business re-turns to normal, she may work to-wards improving her studio once again. She plans to incorporate some of the online tools she used during social distancing to expand

the services offered by her studio. “I envision my business offering a

mixture of in-person and online piano and group child music classes,” Clovis said.

In the meantime, she holds hope that her business will continue to grow.

EntErtainmEntCreator fires ‘Law & Order’ spin-off writer

LOS ANGELES — A TV writer who has worked on “S.W.A.T.” and “Chicago P.D.” was fired from an upcoming “Law & Order” spin-off because of online posts about social unrest in Los Angeles.

Craig Gore was dropped from NBC’s “Law & Order: Organized Crime” by franchise creator Dick Wolf.

“I will not tolerate this conduct, especially during our hour of na-tional grief. I am terminating Craig Gore immediately,” Wolf said in a statement.

An attorney for Gore didn’t im-mediately respond Tuesday to a request for comment. NBC de-clined to comment.

In a post circulated on social media Tuesday and captioned “Curfew ...” Gore is shown hold-ing a firearm. In another post, he wrote that famed Sunset Boule-vard was being “looted two blocks from me,“ and added, ”You think I won’t light (expletive) up who are are trying to (exple-tive) w/ my property I worked all my life for? Think again.”

As with other U.S. cities, Los Angeles has seen both peaceful protests and violence in the streets following the of George Floyd on May 25. A bystander’s video showed a since-charged white police officer pressing his knee into Floyd’s neck for sev-eral minutes, even when he had stopped moving.

Christopher Meloni, the for-mer “Law & Order: SVU” star who will head the cast of “Law & Order: Organized Crime,” pushed back against online crit-ics that referred to Gore as an executive producer, or showrun-ner, on the new series.

“Truth: Matt Olmstead is my

Showrunner,” Meloni said online. “I have gotten no word on ANY hirings I have no idea who this person is or what they do.”

Olmstead is a veteran pro-ducer and writer whose credits include “Chicago P.D.,” which is part of another Wolf series franchise.

Ice-T of “Law & Order: SVU” tipped his hat to Wolf in a post Tuesday.

“The Big Boss is cleaning house ... RESPECT,” the actor and musician wrote.

Protest coverage boosts viewershipNEW YORK — For many

Americans, the unrest sweeping through several cities this past weekend was reason enough to stay home and watch it on television.

The Nielsen company said 4 million people saw coverage of

the demonstrations on Fox News Channel at 10 p.m. on Saturday, not usually a big TV-watching time.

An hour later, 3.2 million peo-ple were watching CNN’s coverage.

On a big news week, Fox News Channel had more than double the audience of its sister broadcast network, which was largely devoted to reruns during the first week of the summer season.

For the week, CBS averaged 3.7 million viewers in prime time. NBC had 3.3 million, ABC had 3.1 million, Fox had 1.41 million, Univision had 1.4 million, ION Television had 1.1 million and Telemundo had 780,000.

Fox News led the cable net-works with an average of 3.38 million viewers in prime time last week.

Fred HiersStaff writer

The Valerie Theatre’s operation will likely soon change as the Inverness council considers offi-cially taking over the day-to-day running of the downtown attraction and instead letting its non-profit Valerie board focus on fundraising and cul-tural marketing.

Inverness City Manager Eric Williams told city council members that in 2015, the council created the Valerie Theatre Cul-tural Center Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The Valerie board is made up four members of the community and the city manager or their representative.

The Valerie board’s job was to provide cultural en-richment to the community by presenting entertaining theatre experiences at the theater, Williams said. Since it reopened its doors five years ago, the Valerie board has effectively been the programming and op-erational entity, at least on paper.

“My proposal ... would be to change this agreement drastically that has the (Valerie) board effectively being the operator of the theatre because in reality, they’re not. In reality, the city is the operator of the theatre. You pay all the bills, you pay for all the employees.”

The council gives the Valerie Theatre about $200,000 annually, the vast bulk of its operations bud-get. It has one full-time em-ployee, Eileen Walsh as cultural arts director, and two part-time employees. The three are city employees.

Williams also asked the council to assign one of its own members to the Val-erie board and replace him because sitting on the board and being the boss of

its three employees was problematic.

City Council member Linda Bega agreed to take over that role.

Bega agreed that the Val-erie board’s role was “to involve the community and sponsors and devise what kind of theater programs ... but the city is who man-ages the theatre.”

Williams said the Valerie board should focus on its community strengths, fundraising and cultural marketing for the theatre and the city continue run-ning the theatre as it cur-rently does that job.

Williams said the change would also free up Walsh to continue operating the theatre and work to attract local organizations and businesses to utilize the theater for community and business events and create attractions to increase the-ater utilization.

Williams told the Chron-icle he had high hopes for the theater and the city chose wisely in hiring Walsh. But under the cur-rent system, Walsh is es-sentially performing executive director func-tions such as overseeing the Valerie board’s fi-nances instead of letting the city accountants per-form that task and letting her focus on cultural arts events.

Williams said it has taken time and the need to let the theater operate in order for the city to learn what’s the best role for each entity.

Meanwhile, Councilman Cabot McBride said he was disappointed because the theatre has been underutilized.

Describing the theater as the “crown jewel for the downtown area” McBride said the city has failed in marketing the theater for its “utilitarian value.”

He said the city should have drummed up much more interest in the Val-erie. An occasional live show and an additional movie on Sunday falls short as to what the theatre could be, he said.

McBride did not elabo-rate specifically on how the theater should be mar-keted to make it a destina-tion for broad spectrum use.

Williams said the the-ater will never likely be fi-nancially independent, but changes should be well thought out.

“This takes time,” Wil-liams said. “We don’t want to do this quickly.”

Williams said he would bring back a proposal that spells out the city and Vala-rie board’s roles later this summer.

No member of the Val-erie board attended the meeting and spoke on the subject.

A Homosassa woman is being accused of striking a man at a Crystal River bar and lashing out at a pair of deputies who were trying to question her about what happened.

Kortney Michael Shaffer, 21, was ar-rested Friday, May 29, 2020, on charges of disorderly conduct, resisting a law enforcement officer with violence, do-mestic battery and two counts of batter-ing a law enforcement officer.

Citrus County Sheriff ’s Office depu-ties responded to a disturbance at around 6:46 p.m. May 29 at Norton’s Riv-erside Sports Bar and Grill, where they met with Shaffer, who was wearing a burgundy shirt and bikini bottoms, ac-cording to her arrest report.

Witnesses told deputies Shaffer and a man got into an argument, which turned into Shaffer striking the man numerous times out on the bar’s parking lot.

A witness was able to videotape Shaf-fer’s alleged battery and show it to deputies.

Shaffer’s arrest report was redacted where it explained her relationship to the man.

When a deputy asked her about the alleged incident, Shaffer, who appeared to be intoxicated, grew angry and told deputies she didn’t have to answer

anything, her arrest report shows.Due to Shaffer’s behavior, the depu-

ties asked her to sit in a patrol car while they questioned other witnesses.

In response, Shaffer walked back in-side the bar while two deputies followed and asked her to come back.

After Shaffer refused to obey, the dep-uties grabbed and detained her in hand-cuffs while she tried to resist, according to her arrest report.

While deputies walked her to a police cruiser, Shaffer kicked both of them. Once inside the patrol car, Shaffer slipped out of her handcuffs and threat-ened deputies with them.

Deputies unholstered their Tasers to get Shaffer to disarm, get re-cuffed and seated back in the patrol car, where Shaffer began kicking the inside of its door and window, according to her arrest report.

Deputies and jail staff had to remove Shaffer from the patrol car at the Citrus County Detention Facility in Lecanto.

Shaffer was jailed under a total $10,500 bond, which includes no bond amount for her domestic battery charged. A judge lowered Shaffer’s bond to $2,500 at her first court appear-ance on Tuesday.

Shaffer’s next court hearing is sched-uled for June 16.

Stocks bubbled even higher on Wednesday, vaulting Wall Street back to where it was just one week after it set its all-time high earlier this year, as optimism builds that the economy can climb out of its current hole rela-tively quickly.

The S&P 500 rose 1.4% for its fourth straight gain as lockdowns loosen around the world and raise hopes for a coming economic recovery. Trea-sury yields also strength-ened in a sign of improved confidence after reports suggested that while the U.S. economy is still get-ting pummeled, it may not be as bad as economists had feared.

“It’s fairly clear to us that the economy clearly bottomed in late April and early May,” said James Ragan, director of wealth management research at D.A. Davidson. “At some point the concern will be on the pace of the

recovery and not just the recovery itself.”

The S&P 500 rose 42.05 points to 3,122.87, the lat-est upward move in its nearly 40% surge since late March. The index is back above where it was on Feb. 26, one week after setting its record.

The Dow Jones Indus-trial Average gained 527.24 points, or 2%, to 26,269.89, and the Nasdaq composite rose 74.54, or 0.8%, to 9.682.91.

A survey from payroll processor ADP said that private employers cut nearly 2.8 million jobs last month, but that was much milder than the 9.3 million that economists told inves-tors to expect. That raises optimism that Friday’s more comprehensive jobs report from the U.S. gov-ernment may also not be as bad as feared. Econo-mists say it may show a loss of 8 million jobs, which would be a deceler-ation from April’s loss of 20.5 million jobs.

Other reports showed

an economy that remains in bad shape, but not quite as terrible as economists had forecast. One report said the nation’s services industries contracted by less than economists ex-pected, and at a more modest rate than in April. Another report said fac-tory orders dropped 13% in April, but not by as much as the 14.8% that economists had forecast.

Companies that would most benefit from a grow-ing economy led the mar-ket Wednesday, continuing a recent trend as hopes rise that the economy and life in general can return closer to normal as busi-ness-shutdown orders lift.

Financial stocks in the S&P 500 jumped 3.8% for one of the largest gains among the 11 sectors that make up the index. JPMor-gan Chase rose 5.4%, and Wells Fargo added 5.2%. They recovered more of the losses sustained earlier this year on worries that the re-cession would mean waves of loan defaults for them.

The maker of Clairol and other beauty products is discussing a po-tential collaboration with Kim Kar-dashian West.

The high-end coat maker beat Wall Street’s fiscal fourth-quarter reve-nue forecasts.

The restaurant operator said that re-opened locations have recaptured about 75% of their prior-year sales.

The ride-hailing company said busi-ness improved in May with a 26% increase in rides from April.

The chipmaker raised its profit and revenue forecasts and said supply chain problems are easing.

The video-conferencing company’s first-quarter financial results and forecasts blew past Wall Street’s ex-pectations on a surge in demand.

“To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men.”

Abraham Lincoln, 16th U.S. president

VOTE BY MAIL

Vote-by-mail encouraged by officials

Florida’s Presidential Preference election day was on March 17,

just before everything closed due to COVID-19 health con-cerns. Our Pri-mary election day will be Aug. 18, and the General election day will be Nov. 3.

For all, Citrus County‘s elec-tions office offers i t s n o r m a l choices for how eligible voters can cast their votes: by early voting in the two weeks leading up to election days; with vote-by-mail ballots, submitted by 7 p.m. on elec-tion days; or in person at as-signed precincts on election days.

Supervisor of Elections Susan Gill is very clear on her office’s credo: The most important thing is to safe-guard the integrity of the electoral process and main-tain voter confidence through fair, honest and ac-curate elections.

It’s impossible to know what the situation will be in August regarding social dis-tancing and other public health protection measures, but it’s a sure bet that many will not be comfortable going to polling places. That leaves voting by mail, an alternative already used by more than a third of Citrus County voters.

Unfortunately, vote-by-mail has gotten an unde-served bad rap lately. Elections experts acknowl-edge that mail ballots are more susceptible to fraud than in-person voting, but mail ballot fraud is rare.

The Brennan Center notes that it’s more likely for an American to be struck by lightning than to commit mail voting fraud. (The Na-tional Weather Service puts the odds of being struck by lightning at 1 in more than 1.2 million.) The respected Heritage Foundation elec-tion fraud database shows just eight instances of “fraudulent use of absentee ballots” in Florida since 1998, all of which resulted in criminal conviction. Re-cently the Florida Depart-ment of Law Enforcement (FDLE) announced its find-ing of “no evidence of fraud”

stemming from complaints in connection with the 2018 elections.

Voting by mail isn’t a new concept. Five states have

total vote-by-mail, and others offer local op-tions. Experi-ence shows there is no appreciable partisan advan-tage with voting by mail, but in those few races where it has been seen it has gone both ways.

Lots of folks take advantage of voting by mail.

In the past two federal elections, according to The Brennan Center, about one-fourth of voting Americans cast mail ballots. It’s an even greater propor-tion here in Citrus County. Mail ballots were used by 44% of those voting in the primaries of 2014, 2016 and 2018. In the general elec-tions in those years, it was 34%, 31% and 36%, respec-tively. Additionally, the mili-tary has been using vote-by-mail for decades.

The League of Women Vot-ers in Florida is urging vot-ers to request mail ballots during this cycle, though they may vote at a polling site instead if desired. (The system prohibits duplicate voting.) In Citrus County, those who prefer drop-off to mail may take ballots to early vote sites or to the Su-pervisor of Elections office in Meadowcrest by the deadline.

Elections supervisors in Florida and elections ex-perts everywhere agree that being able to vote by mail is essential for holding safe elections during COVID-19. Multiple levels of security checks in Citrus County’s elections office include using bar codes and compar-ing signatures, among other security practices.

Those voters who feel going to the poll is a civic duty and ritual to be hon-ored should be prepared for possible waits; with all health and safety precau-tions in place, things are likely to go more slowly.

Having three different ways to register a vote means that all eligible voters have the opportunity to help mold our future.

THE ISSUE:Can vote-by-mail

be trusted?

OUR OPINION:Voting by mail is encouraged by Supervisors of

Elections, and the right choice for

many in the upcoming elections.

THE CHRONICLE invites you to call “Sound Off” with your opinions about local or statewide subjects. You do not need to leave your name, and have less than a minute to record.

COMMENTS will be edited for length, libel, personal or political attacks and good taste. Editors will cut libelous material.

OPINIONS expressed are purely those of the callers.

Hot Corner: MASKSn (Re the May 26 “Hot Corner: Virus”): I’d like

to address this to the person that was telling people on Sound Off who complain about masks and gloves that they’re being repetitious, they’re living in fear and they should just stop living in fear and live your life. I want you to know it’s not fear we’re talking about; it’s anger. We’re angry at the stupidity of individuals who will risk the lives of others by not wearing a mask. You don’t care about saving other people’s lives. So that’s not fearful, it’s anger, so you understand.

n I am asking stores and restaurants to indi-cate in their ads if their employees wear masks while serving the public.

n I’m just calling again to Sound Off about restaurants that are not wearing masks, either the cooks or the servers. Again, we live in a se-nior community and I think this is imperative that we are required to wear a mask in a restaurant.

n I’m responding to the (June 2) Sound Off “Hot Corner: Masks,” where the person said he called three restaurants and asked them if their servers are wearing masks and they told him “no” and he’s not going to patronize their busi-ness. Here’s my question to you: You go into this restaurant with your so-called mask on, but you want the waitress or waiter to serve you and ask you, with a mask on or gloves or whatever, “Can we bring you food?” So what’s the difference of them not wearing a mask, and then me, who does not wear a mask, walking past you without a mask and I’m not 6 foot away from you? What is the difference between her and me? They’re hanging over your food — big deal. So am I be-cause I’m walking by you. You have to take your mask off in order to eat — or have to lift it up — so what are you accomplishing? Absolutely noth-ing, in my eyes. If the restaurant (staff) don’t wear masks, then don’t go and don’t complain about it, because I don’t care.

n I’ve been buying the Chronicle for about five years now and my favorite part of it is Sound Off and that’s, frankly, what I buy the paper for. I rarely read anything else, to be very honest. But I saw in Tuesday, the “Hot Corner: Masks,” a per-son going into a sports bar was absolutely as-tounded, upset and offended that there was nobody wearing masks and people were greeting each other and people were smiling and talking and he had to just sit outside and grumble and drink his beer. Well, apparently he must have had a mask on, but here’s my question: How do you drink a beer with a mask on? Either it’s on or it’s off. Or what do you do — just like sneak a lit-tle sip while people aren’t looking so you can show you have your mask on? How do people go to a restaurant with masks on? What do you do — lift up the bottom of the mask and jam that piece of meat in your mouth like nobody’s watching you and you’re sneaking a little cookie out of the cookie jar type of a thing? What is wrong with you people? If you don’t like what’s going on on the outside, you have a little thing called freedom of choice. Go home. If you have a computer or if you have a phone or if you have both, use them. Stay home.

n This is to the person who called the Sound Off and said that they survived two years in the south Sudan living in a tent with malaria and they said they have a choice not to wear a mask, “so if you see me, stay away.” Well, that’s all fine and dandy and that’s your choice, but you know what I’ve found? That you people who don’t wear masks, you don’t stay away. See, I wear a mask and when you see me with a mask on, that should say to you that this person is trying to be a little careful. But people who don’t wear masks, most of the time they just come right up on you. So you know what? Why don’t you take your own advice and stay away from us who are wearing masks?

Our nation, state and local community are hurting as we witness the tragedy of the horrific and unwarranted killing of Mr.

George Floyd. Throughout our country, we are seeing protests and actions as a result of this senseless act.

Locally, Pastor Doug Alexander called a community action meeting this past Tuesday, June 2, 2020, which brought together leaders of our com-munity to discuss how we can address the pain and hurt that is being felt, and actually take action on a local level. It is a start, and there is much work to be done.

In Crystal River, a Unity March is being organized by members of our community, scheduled to take place at 2 p.m., Sunday, June 7, 2020. The city is in contact with the individuals or-ganizing the event and working with them on a location and specific details.

I wanted to share with our community an up-date regarding the plans for a peaceful protest within our city. First and foremost, Crystal River will always stand with our citizens who are exer-cising their Constitutional rights.

It is as clear as it can be, Amendment 1 states: “The right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

While some folks may not agree with a protest or assembly, we will always support people exer-cising their rights. It is one of the many reasons our country is so special and unique.

At the same time, we are all witnessing pro-tests throughout the country turn violent and result in tragic scenes of destruction of property and even much worse, the killing of law enforce-ment officers and our very own citizens.

These acts dishonor Mr. Floyd and do nothing but further divide a grieving nation.

Locally, we have zero tolerance for anything

other than a peaceful demonstration.As government officials, we must protect our

law-abiding citizens. The destruction of any property, or illegal acts of any kind will not be

tolerated. Our city leadership has made this clear to the organizers of Sunday’s event and we are also work-ing with the Sheriff ’s Office to assure everybody’s safety.

I have hope and faith that our local community will rise to the occasion and show others how we can come together peacefully, let our voices be heard, and start the process of heal-ing. We need not be afraid of this con-versation and this particular event, but view it as an opportunity to come together and show the country that Crystal River and Citrus County can do the right thing.

On a personal note, as a white man, I am not going to attempt to act like I understand the pain and hurt that black folks have gone through and are going through now.

I will say as an American, a human being and a Christian; when my brother or sister is hurting, in pain and suffering, then I am hurting and our community hurts.

I believe that no single politician, political ide-ology (conservative/liberal) or any individual is going to solve the problems that we face and have faced throughout our history. It is my belief we need to turn to Jesus and embrace love. Let us strive to love one another through the grace we have been given.

In a broken world, with a long history of hurt, turning to Jesus is the answer. Through that grace, we can, in turn, work together to create a society that is just and fair to all, respects all equally and strives for a better tomorrow.

We all have work to do. God bless.

Joe Meek is mayor of Crystal River.

Let us all come together peacefully when we protest

More needless deathsProtesters are rioting in the

streets because of the senseless death of George Floyd. It is easy to understand why the black commu-nity is upset.

Yet there is something that should be much more unsettling. Yesterday, the number of coronavirus cases surpassed 100,000 in the U.S. About 90,000 of those deaths are because the current leadership didn’t take immediate and decisive steps to stem the spread of the virus.

How did I come up with that num-ber? Do the math. Consider South Korea, Germany, Vietnam, South Af-rica Australia and New Zealand. These six countries combined are quite similar to the U.S. Among other things, they have the same population as the U.S. within 3%, and have the same total land area as the U.S. within 8%.

They had fewer than 10,000

deaths from the virus, some 90,000 less than the U.S. The main differ-ence is the leaders of the six coun-tries early on devised plans to contain and reduce the spread of the virus, while the U.S. ignored it, calling it a hoax that would rapidly disappear on its own.

If you don’t want to do that much arithmetic, look at Greece. It has a population of 11 million and 173 coronavirus deaths. The population of the U.S. is 30 times that of Greece, which, scaled up would cor-respond to 5,190 deaths. That’s a far cry from 100,000.

The US has 4.3% of the world’s population and more than 28% of the coronavirus deaths. What’s more, Bolsonaro of Brazil is emulat-ing the U.S. and will cause untold thousands more needless deaths worldwide.

Ronald Blum AP baseball writer

NEW YORK — If Major League Baseball and its players take the field for a coronanvirus-delayed 2020 season, it will be after acrimonious negotiations that resemble their labor war of a generation ago.

MLB rejected the play-ers’ proposal for a 114-game regular season with no additional salary cuts, and will turn its atten-tion to a shortened slate of perhaps 50 games or fewer. Owners last week pro-posed an 82-game schedule starting in early July.

“We do not have any rea-son to believe that a negoti-ated solution for an 82-game season is possi-ble,” Deputy Commis-sioner Dan Halem wrote in a letter Wednesday to chief union negotiator Bruce Meyer that was obtained by The Associated Press.

MLB’s plan included a sliding scale of pay de-creases that would leave players at the $563,500 min-imum with 47% of their original salaries and top stars Mike Trout and Gerrit Cole at less than 22% of the $36 million they had been set to earn.

Players insisted they re-ceive the prorated salaries agreed to in a March 26 deal, which would give them 70% pay at 114 games. That agree-ment called for the sides to “discuss in good faith the economic feasibility of playing games in the ab-sence of spectators.” The union has said no addi-tional cuts are acceptable.

There has not been a schedule averaging fewer

than 82 games per team since 1879.

“Despite what it sounds like with some of the Twit-ter bickering back and forth and some of the pos-turing back and forth, I am optimistic that we are going to play baseball this year,” Milwaukee presi-dent of baseball operations David Stearns said. “I’m optimistic that both sides genuinely want to play baseball this year, that there’s a path to doing so, even if it’s a shorter sea-son, even if it’s 50 games.”

Ballparks without fans appear certain due to the pandemic. MLB claims large losses due to the virus, which the union dis-putes, and teams want ad-ditional salary reductions. Halem said 27 of the 30 teams would lose money with each addi-tional game.

A 50-game schedule would result in players re-ceiving about 30% of their full salaries under the March 26 deal.

“You confirmed for us on Sunday that players are unified in their view that they will not accept less than 100% of their pro-rated salaries, and we have no choice but to ac-cept that representation,” Halem wrote.

“Nonetheless, the com-missioner is committed to playing baseball in 2020,”

Halem added. “He has started discussions with ownership about staging a shorter season without fans.”

Halem ended his letter by telling Meyer “we stand ready to discuss any ideas you may have that might lead to an agreement on resuming play without reg-ular fan access in our stadiums.”

MLB wants to start the season in early July, and Halem wrote an agree-ment would have had to be reached by June 1 in order to reopen training camps by June 10. That would

leave three to four weeks of preparation, which Halem said is the “wide consensus.”

“We are opposed to rushing to begin the sea-son and then subjecting players to a grueling schedule,” he said.

Players made their pro-posal Sunday, five days after management’s initial economic plan. Opening day would be June 30 and the regular season would end Oct. 31, nearly five weeks after the Sept. 27 conclusion that MLB’s pro-posal stuck to from the sea-son’s original schedule.

MLB does not want to play past October because it fears a second wave of the coronavirus could dis-rupt the postseason and jeopardize $787 million in broadcast revenue. Halem cited MLB’s infectious dis-ease consultant, Dr. Ali Khan, Dean of the College of Public Health at the University of Nebraska.

“It is not in the collec-tive interest of clubs or players to begin a 2020 season and subse-quently be forced to sus-pend or cancel it before the completion of the post-season,” Halem wrote.

NBA presents its restart planTim Reynolds

AP basketball writer

The NBA has told the National Basketball Players Association that it will present a 22-team plan for restarting the season to the league’s board of governors on Thursday, a person with knowl-edge of the situation told The As-sociated Press.

The teams that will be going to the ESPN Wide World Of Sports complex on the Disney campus near Orlando would play eight games to determine playoff seed-ing starting around July 31 before the postseason begins, according to the person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity Wednesday because the league has not released its proposal publicly.

The plan, once approved, would have 13 Western Confer-ence teams and nine Eastern Conference teams going to Dis-ney, and the cutoff being that teams must be within six games of a playoff spot at this point. Play-offs would start in August, and the NBA Finals will likely stretch into October, the person said.

The Milwaukee Bucks, Los

Angeles Lakers, Toronto Raptors and Boston Celtics already have clinched playoff spots — and, if only eight games are left, that would mean the Miami Heat, In-diana Pacers, Philadelphia 76ers, Los Angeles Clippers, Denver Nuggets, Utah Jazz, Oklahoma City Thunder and Houston Rock-ets would theoretically have clinched spots as well.

The Dallas Mavericks would be virtually assured of clinching a West spot, holding a seven-game lead over eighth-place Memphis. That would mean the Grizzlies, Portland, New Orleans, Sacra-mento, San Antonio and Phoenix all would be in the running for the No. 8 seed out West. In the East, Washington is six games behind No. 7 Brooklyn and 5 1/2 games behind No. 8 Orlando — so within range of triggering a play-in series.

“I’m all in from the state’s per-spective,” Florida Gov. Ron De-Santis said at a news conference Wednesday in central Florida. “I don’t think you could find a better place than Orlando to do this. I think it’s very exciting.”

DeSantis met by phone with NBA Deputy Commissioner Mark

Tatum on Tuesday. The governor also said the state helped with the plans to make a golf match last month featuring Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Tom Brady and Peyton Manning — one that raised $20 million for coronavirus

relief — happen. And Major League Soccer announced Wednesday a plan to restart its season in Orlando.

“Orlando really could be the epicenter of the comeback of pro-fessional sports,” DeSantis said.

Johnny Majors

dies at 85Associated Press

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — College Football Hall of Famer Johnny Majors, the coach of Pittsburgh’s 1976 national champion-ship team and a former coach and star player at Tennessee, died Wednesday. He was 85.

Majors died at his home in Knoxville, ac-cording to his wife, Mary Lynn Majors. “He spent his last hours doing something he dearly loved: looking out over his cherished Tennessee River,” she said in a statement first given to Sports Radio WNML.

Majors compiled a 185-137-10 record in 29 seasons as a head coach at Iowa State (1968-72), Pitt (1973-76, 1993-96) and Tennessee (1977-92). That followed a standout playing career at Tennes-see during which he fin-ished second to Notre Dame’s Paul Hornung in the 1956 Heisman Trophy balloting.

He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1987. Tennessee retired Ma-jors’ No. 45 jersey in 2012.

MLS agrees to labor deal

anne m. PeTeRson

AP sports writer

Major League Soccer and its players’ union agreed to a six-year labor contract through 2025 that paves the way for a tournament in Florida after the season was suspended by the coronavirus pandemic.

The deal was an-nounced Wednesday fol-lowing tense talks that led to some players skip-ping voluntary workouts and the league threaten-ing a lockout.

MLS and the Major League Soccer Players Association agreed Feb. 6 to a five-year labor contract, but the deal had not been ratified when the season was stopped on March 12 after only two matches had been played by each team.

The ratified labor deal was announced in the midst of nationwide pro-tests over police brutal-ity and injustice against African Americans sparked by the death of George Floyd in Minne-apolis. Both sides noted the unrest in announc-ing the contract.

In “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy,” Douglas Adams wrote, “Space is big. You just won’t be-lieve how vastly, hugely, mind-bog-glingly big it is.”

First today, look at the West hand and the auction. What would you lead against three no-trump?

Sometimes a defender cannot believe that his play hit the jackpot. This deal was played 16 times at Bridge Base Online. The contract

was always three no-trump, 15 times by South after this auction, and once by North after a bizarre sequence: one heart — two dia-monds(!) — double (negative, show-ing spades) — pass — three no-trump(!!) — all pass. Note that it takes a spade lead to stop six hearts.

At 14 tables, West led a really weird spade seven. All the declar-ers won with dummy’s ace, drove out the heart ace and claimed 12 tricks.

At the table with the strange bid-ding, East led the diamond king, under which West signaled with the jack. Declarer played a heart, but West won with his ace, cashed the diamond 10 and led his remain-ing diamond to defeat the contract.

At the last table, West started with the diamond jack, and East signaled enthusiastically with her nine. Declarer played a heart to his queen, and West, thinking that South had to have something in di-amonds, ducked. When South played another heart, West ducked again!

But now South had nine tricks: five spades, two hearts, one dia-mond and one club.

West should have believed his luck, taking the first (or second) heart and continuing with the dia-mond 10.

After airing three ratings-challenged episodes, Syfy moved “Queen” out of its primetime schedule, prompting speculation the remaining epi-sodes were being burned off in late-night. In tonight’s Season 1 finale, Elida makes a last push to stop the villainous Lazaro (Paul Du Toit).

Dear Annie: I work with a woman who, for some reason, is abso-

lutely desperate to hoard all the work, all day, every day. “Geri” answers the phone on a half a ring. If something comes out of the fax, then she will run to get it before anyone else can. If you tell her that you're handling something, then she will pretend not to hear you and walk all over you and the work you've already put into the project. If she does not get her way, then she will cry and tell the boss that you are mistreating her. She has one of the brownest noses I have ever seen. At this point, I believe that she has become a human suppository to my boss. She has absolutely no idea how to share and gets very upset when you treat her the same way she treats you.

Geri has been nasty to me since Day One. When I've told her I don't appreciate the way she treats me, she tells me that I'd better get used to it.

“Quantity, not quality” must be her personal motto. She will, on occasion, share work that comes out of the fax with everyone else in the room except myself (but only after she's bitten off more than she can chew). She has told me that the reason I don't like her is that she has “a work ethic.” I would beg to differ. It seems more along the lines of a personality disorder and/or extreme arrogance. I work with quite a few other people who have healthy work ethics. We get along just fine.

She also doesn't believe that she can ever make a mistake. If she does and you catch it, she will instantly blame someone else or say, “What's the big deal?”

She even has made flyers saying that “Geri is the best!” and “Geri is a NICE PER-SON!” I can't wait till she passes them out!

I am at the end of my rope. I'd hate to quit because the days that she doesn't show up are pretty darn good. We laugh; we work; and, get this, we share.

The only time she is kind is when she wants something from you, whether it be knowledge or for you to pick her up some food or perhaps complete a task that she feels is beneath her. Please offer me some guidance. — Enough Is Enough

Dear Enough: In my years writing this column I've heard of all sorts of behavior, but someone making “I'm Great!” flyers — that is a first. Clearly, Geri has some issues that didn't begin with you, and they won't end with you. Acknowledging that might help you find some measure of peace with the situation. That's not to say you should put up with workplace bul-lying.

The first step toward addressing that is talking to Geri again. Ask what you could do that might make your working relationship smoother. Let her know how her behavior impacts you. Don't rattle off a laundry list of all her transgressions. Focus instead on the overar-ching pattern of her taking on so much of the workload.

If this peace talk doesn't bear out results, it's time to go up the chain of command. Request to meet with human resources (and if there is no HR, then your supervisor). Go into the meeting seek-ing solutions, not pointing fingers.

And again, leave out all the personal animosity you may feel toward Geri. Present only the ways in which her behavior has concretely impacted your work.

Whatever happens, try to disengage from her antics as much as possible. “The Geri Show” may go on, but you don't have to tune in.

WASHINGTON — Presi-dent Donald Trump’s Pen-tagon chief shot down his idea of using troops to quell protests across the United States Wednesday, then re-versed course on pulling part of the 82nd Airborne Division off standby in an extraordinary clash be-tween the U.S. military and its commander in chief.

Both Trump and Defense Secretary Mark Esper also drew stinging, rare public criticism from Trump’s first defense secretary, Jim Mat-tis, in the most public push-back of Trump’s presidency from the men he put at the helm of the world’s most powerful military.

Mattis’ rebuke followed Trump’s threats to use the military to “dominate” the streets where Americans are demonstrating follow-ing the death of George Floyd, a black man who died when a white police officer pressed his knee into his neck for several minutes. The president had urged governors to call out the National Guard to contain protests that turned violent and warned that he could send in active duty military forces if they did not.

Esper angered Trump early Wednesday when he said he opposed using mili-tary troops for law enforce-ment, seemingly taking the teeth out of the president’s threat to use the Insurrec-tion Act. Esper said the 1807 law should be invoked in the United States “only in the most urgent and dire of situations.” He added, “We are not in one of those situations now.”

After his subsequent visit to the White House, the Pentagon abruptly overturned an earlier deci-sion to send a couple hun-dred active-duty soldiers home from the Washing-ton, D.C., region, a public sign of the growing ten-sions with the White House amid mounting crit-icism that the Pentagon was being politicized in response to the protests.

Former Secretary Mattis, a retired Marine general, lambasted both Trump and Esper in an essay in The Atlantic Wednesday for their consideration of using the active-duty military in law enforcement — and for the use of the National Guard in clearing out a largely peaceful protest near the White House on Monday evening.

“We must reject any thinking of our cities as a ‘battlespace’ that our uni-formed military is called upon to ‘dominate,’” Mattis wrote, referencing quotes by Esper and Trump re-spectively. “Militarizing our response, as we witnessed in Washington, D.C., sets up a conflict—a false con-flict—between the military and civilian society. ”

Days ago, Esper had or-dered about 1,300 Army personnel to military bases just outside the nation’s capital as Trump weighed whether to invoke the In-surrection Act and send active-duty troops into the city, the scene of large pro-tests that devolved into vio-lence and looting over the weekend. But after a night of calm enforced by a large deployment of National Guard troops and heavily armed federal law en-forcement agents, defense

officials said the troops would begin returning to their home base.

Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy told The Associ-ated Press that the

decision was reversed after Esper’s visit to the White House.

PARIS — Parisians re-turned to the City of Light’s beloved sidewalk cafes as lockdown re-strictions eased Tues-day, but health experts expressed deep con-cerns as several Latin American countries opted to reopen their economies despite a rapid rise in coronavirus cases.

The post-lockdown freedom along Paris’ cob-bled streets will be tem-pered by social distancing rules for the city’s once-densely packed cafe tables. Paris City Hall has authorized outside seating areas only, with indoor seating off-limits until June 22. But the tiny tables will have to be spaced at least 1 meter apart, sharply cutting their numbers.

“It’s amazing that we’re finally opening up, but the outside area is just a fraction of the in-side space,” said Xavier Denamur, the owner of five popular cafes and bistros. “It’s a start.”

But as Parisians re-claimed the rhythm of city life, health experts warned that virus cases are still rising in Latin America, the world’s lat-est COVID-19 epicenter.

“Clearly the situation in many South American countries is far from sta-ble. There is a rapid in-crease in cases and those systems are com-ing under increasing pressure,” said Dr. Mike Ryan, the executive di-rector of the World Health Organization’s emergencies program.

His warning came as some of Brazil’s hard-est-hit cities, including the jungle city of Manaus and the sprawling me-tropolis of Rio de Ja-neiro, were starting to allow more business ac-tivity. Brazil has reported more than 526,000 infec-tions, second only to the 1.8 million cases re-ported by the U.S.

Bolivia and Venezuela have also started open-ing up their economies, Ecuador has resumed flights and shoppers have returned to Colom-bia’s malls.

In Mexico, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador offered a per-sonal note of caution to his country’s gradual roll-back of virus restric-tions by opting to drive 1,000 miles instead of flying to promote a key infrastructure project.

South Africa’s corona-virus cases jumped again to more than 35,000 as the country began easing its lock-down. The country has seen cases double roughly every 12 days.

In the U.S., health au-thorities were con-cerned that widespread protests over the death of George Floyd, a black man pinned at the neck by a white police officer, could cause new out-breaks in a nation where the pandemic has dis-proportionately affected racial minorities.

Worldwide, 6.5 million people have been in-fected with the virus, which has killed over 375,000, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University that experts believe is too low be-cause many people died without being tested. The United States has seen over 105,000 deaths and Europe has had nearly 175,000.

More charged in Floyd deathProtests continue across countryaMy Forliti, steve

karnowski and tiM sullivan Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS — Pros-ecutors charged three more police officers Wednesday in the death of George Floyd and filed a new, tougher charge against the officer at the center of the case, deliver-ing a victory to protesters who have filled the streets from coast to coast to fight police brutality and racial injustice.

The most serious charge was filed against Derek Chauvin, who was caught on video pressing his knee to Floyd’s neck and now must defend himself against an accusation of second-degree murder. The three other officers at the scene were charged for the first time with aid-ing and abetting sec-ond-degree murder and s e c o n d - d e g r e e manslaughter.

All four were fired last week. If convicted, they could be sentenced to up to four decades in prison.

Chauvin was initially charged with third-degree murder and second-de-gree manslaughter. Those

charges still stand.The new second-degree

murder charge alleges that Chauvin caused Floyd’s death without in-tent while committing an-other felony, namely third-degree assault. It carries a maximum pen-alty of 40 years in prison, compared with a maxi-mum of 25 years for third-degree murder.

The other officers — Thomas Lane, J. Kueng and Tou Thao — face the same maximum penalties for aiding and abetting. All three men were in custody by Wednesday evening. Chauvin was arrested last week and is still being held.

The multiple charges against each officer would offer a jury more options to find them guilty.

The charges were sought by Minnesota Attor-ney General Keith Ellison, who called the protests unleashed by the death “dramatic and necessary” and said Floyd “should be here and he is not.”

“His life had value, and we will seek justice,” said Ellison, who cautioned that winning convictions would be hard and said that public pressure had no bearing on his decisions.

Hundreds of protesters were in New York City’s Washington Square Park when the charges were

announced.“It’s not enough,” pro-

tester Jonathan Roldan said, insisting all four offi-cers should have been charged from the start. “Right now, we’re still marching because it’s not enough that they got ar-rested. There needs to be systematic change.”

Ben Crump, an attorney for Floyd’s family, called it “a bittersweet moment” and “a significant step for-ward on the road to jus-tice.” Crump said Ellison had told the family he would continue his inves-tigation into Floyd’s death

and upgrade the charge to first-degree murder if warranted.

The move by prosecu-tors punctuated an un-precedented week in modern American history, in which largely peaceful protests took place in com-munities of all sizes but were rocked by bouts of violence, including deadly attacks on officers, ram-pant thefts and arson in some places. While pro-tests continued Tuesday night, violence was far more limited, with cur-fews, additional law en-forcement officers and

efforts by protesters to contain lawlessness cred-ited with preventing more widespread damage in New York and other cities.

“Last night we took a step forward in moving out of this difficult period we’ve had the last few days and moving to a better time,” New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said.

Nationwide, more than 9,000 have been arrested in connection with unrest.

At least 12 deaths have been reported, though the circumstances in many cases are still being sorted out.

As summer grilling season sets in, Americans grab their tongs to take advantage of backyard

barbecue opportunities. In addition to classic cookout fare

like ribs, steak, chicken, burgers and hot dogs, the experts at Dole

recommend giving fruits and vegetables a shot on the grill to bring out new tastes and ways to enjoy everyday favorites.

For example, many barbecue enthusi-asts know about grilling corn, aspara-gus, Brussels sprouts, onions, zucchini and artichokes, but consider trying cauliflower, portobello mushrooms, yel-

low-black plantains and even pineapple on the grill this summer.

In fact, this recipe for Smoked Has-selback Pineapple with Spiced Turkey Chorizo and Onion provides an easy way to make grilled fruit a fun addition to your backyard barbecue.

For other flavorful ideas, try grilled Romaine lettuce for a delightfully

smoky salad or side dish, or skewer peeled and sliced bananas, chicken, shrimp and veggies for a tropical kebab.

You can even throw an unpeeled ba-nana on the grill for a uniquely cara-melized dessert.

Visit dole.com for more summer grill-ing recipes featuring fresh fruits and vegetables.

Losing weight and focusing on a healthful diet may lead you back to the same tried-and-true tricks, however, conventional wisdom doesn’t always pay dividends.

Some eating plans may offer up new twists to help you and your family eat meals you enjoy without forgoing your health goals.

For example, “Always Eat After 7 PM,” written by nutritionist Joel Marion, five-time best-selling e-book au-thor and co-founder of the e-commerce supplement company BioTrust Nutrition, debunks popular diet

myths and offers an easy-to-follow diet that accelerates fat-burning and allows you to indulge in your most in-tense cravings by eating the majority of your calories at night.

The outlined plan features a 14-day “acceleration phase” designed for rapid results, a “main phase” when you’ll learn which fat-burning foods to eat to achieve your weight loss goals and a “lifestyle phase” to keep the weight off for good.

Conventional wisdom dictates that it’s best to avoid carbs, eat an early dinner and never eat immediately be-fore bed. However, Marion debunks the myths under- lying traditional dieting with a simple, highly effective

weight loss program allowing readers to enjoy social din-ners without restriction, satisfy nighttime hunger with fat-burning sweet and salty pre-bedtime snacks and in-dulge cravings with strategically timed cheat meals.

With straightforward food lists, easy-to-follow meal plans and recipes for each phase, this can be a simpler, more enjoyable way to lose weight without feeling re-stricted. Taken directly from the book, these recipes for Pot Roast Tacos with Chimichurri and Cheesy Ground Beef Skillet can help you take part in the program while enjoying time with loved ones at the family table.
