May’s jobless rate improvesSlight decrease

to 14.3%MICHAEL D. BATES

Staff writer

Citrus County’s employ-ment numbers fared slightly better in May as the economy started to open up following the pan-demic shutdown the previ-ous two months.

The county’s 14.3% rate was down from 14.9% the previous month and the

number of jobless de-creased by 117 people, to 6,643, according to data re-leased Friday, June 19, 2020, by the Florida De-partment of Economic Op-portunity (DEO).

Citrus also showed a sig-nificant improvement compared to the other 67 counties in Florida: it ranked 11th highest, com-pared to the previous month’s ranking of fourth-worst.

In May, Citrus County’s labor force increased by 912 over the month to 46,357. The number of

employed rose to 1,029 to 39,714.

But year-over year, the numbers are less positive. The unemployment rate in May 2019 was 4.7%. Citrus’ labor force fell 1,088 peo-ple from a year ago. There were 5,490 less employed and 4,402 more people out of work.

“The underlying num-bers show movement in a positive direction,” Josh Wooten, president/CEO of the Citrus County Cham-ber of Commerce, said. “There are still too many displaced workers as a

result of COVID-19. Until all businesses are allowed to operate at 100% capac-ity this will be a major drag on our economy.”

Statewide, the May un-employment rate was 14.5%, up from 13.8% in April and up 11.3 percent-age points from a year ago. As of June 17, the DEO has paid 1.4 million unemploy-ment claimants, totaling more than $6.5 billion

Osceola County had the state’s highest unemploy-ment rate in May of 31.1% while Lafayette County had the lowest at 5.7%.

More than 86,000 Florid-ians applied for new job-less benefits last week, a drop of almost 30% from the previous week, as pandemic-related restric-tions continued easing up across the state, according to labor figures.

Since mid-March, more than 2.3 million Floridians have applied for unem-ployment benefits, accord-ing to the U.S. Department of Labor. Before the pan-demic, Florida had a workforce of about 10 mil-lion people.

DeSantis points to testingCOVID-19 cases continue to rise

Associated Press

MIAMI — Florida Republi-can Gov. Ron DeSantis down-played a continued rise in confirmed coronavirus cases after the state reopened by saying Friday that as testing increases, more asymptomatic younger people are driving up positive results.

He also hinted that recent protests over the death of George Floyd in Minnesota might drive up positive tests, and said some people have started to disregard advice to wear masks, social distance and avoid large crowds.

“You’re going to find more asymptomatic cases. As you test more, you find more. And that’s basically been some-thing we believed from the be-ginning,” DeSantis said. “We’re testing more than 30,000 a day, you’re going to see us identify more than 2,000 cases.”

Florida has had nearly 90,000 confirmed cases of the coronavirus, resulting in more than 3,100 deaths. The state has allowed bars, restaurants and some theme parks to re-open, and since then cases have spiked. On Friday, the state announced 3,822 new confirmed cases, the highest daily total since the pandemic started.

Desantis blamed part of the recent spike on

people’s behavior.“I think that we’ve started to

see some erosion on social dis-tancing from probably some of the younger population,” De-Santis said.

He said the Department of Health will begin a media campaign to remind people to wash their hands, wear masks and socially distance.

DeSantis said he hasn’t had the Department of Health sub-stantiate that protests over the death of Floyd, an

Health department offers free COVID-19 testsThe Citrus County Department of Health will offer no cost COVID-

19 testing to those with or without symptoms.Tests check samples from a person’s respiratory system to tell if

you currently have an infection; it is not an antibody test. Test results usually take three to seven days and, in some cases, up to 10 days.

Testing is done by appointment only. To schedule an appointment, call 352-527-0068.

Love will find a (virtual) wayNANCY KENNEDY

Staff writer

Jennifer Martin and Greg Bullock Jr. weren’t necessarily looking for one another.

Even if they were, the odds of them finding each other easily are slim since Jennifer lived in Homo-sassa and worked in New Port Richey and Greg lived and worked in Ocala.

However, as Jennifer said just days before the couple got married June 5, 2020, “Love will find a way and show up when you least expect it.”

For them, love showed up on Jennifer’s Facebook page back in early 2019.

“He showed up as ‘Peo-ple you may know’ and I sent him a friend request,” she said, “and then he

messaged me.”They had each been

married before and have

children from those rela-tionships, and that made

CCSO asking public to ID convenience store robber

Citrus County Sheriff’s Office investigators are asking for the public’s help to identify a robber who stole lottery tickets and pushed a clerk inside a local convenience store.

According to the sher-iff’s office, a white man wearing a black-and-grey “Batman” shirt, black shorts, black shoes and a camouflaged face mask robbed the Circle K at the corner of U.S. 19 and West Cardinal Street in Homosassa at around 4:30 a.m. on May 17, 2020.

During the robbery, the man stole lottery tickets and pushed down an em-ployee, but he didn’t brandish a weapon.

Those with information about the man’s identity are being asked to call the sheriff’s office at 352-726-1121 and ask for the Major Crimes Unit.

Tipsters who want to remain anonymous and be eligible for a cash re-ward can call Citrus County Crime Stoppers at 888-269-8477.

African-American man who died while a white po-lice officer had his knee on his neck, have driven up cases, but said he sus-pected it may have contrib-uted to more virus cases.

“Obviously there’s a cor-relation there, but I

wouldn’t want to say that until we have the evi-dence,” DeSantis said. “You had massive demon-strations of people ... and all of a sudden the social distancing took a back seat to social justice.”

He said he respected pro-testers constitutional right to demonstrate, but that it could have contributed to the spread of the virus.

“You may think that

protest is the most import-ant thing you can to do as a citizen, I respect that, but understand from a virus perspective, gathering with 5,000 people to pro-test something that’s im-portant to you is no different than gathering with 5,000 people to do something else that may not be as significant,” De-Santis said.

Changes coming to ICU bed reporting

Amid a surge in Florida coronavirus cases, Gov. Ron DeSantis’s administration is changing the guidelines for hospitals’ reporting of intensive-care beds in the state Emergency Status Sys-tem, or ESS.

In a phone call with hospi-tal providers this week, Flor-ida Surgeon General Scott Rivkees, who’s also the sec-retary of the Department of Health, said he no longer wants hospitals to report to the state the number of pa-tients in intensive-care unit beds.

Instead, Rivkees said he only wants hospitals to report the number of patients in those beds who require what he described as an “inten-sive level of care.”

The change could reduce the numbers of occupied ICU beds being reported to the state.

“There has been new wording in terms of, do indi-viduals have intensive-level care,” Rivkees said, noting that some hospitals have lo-cated COVID-19 wards within intensive-care units and are reporting all COVID-19 patients as ICU patients. “So make sure that when you are giving us numbers of individuals in intensive-care units, it’s those individuals having intensive-care unit care.”

The switch in reporting comes as the daily numbers of new COVID-19 cases in Florida continues to climb at a record-high pace. The

state on Friday said there were 3,822 new COVID-19 cases, bringing the overall number of COVID-19 infec-tions to 89,748. There have been 3,104 deaths related to the coronavirus in Florida.

And the number of unoc-cupied ICU beds is decreasing.

Florida has both adult-ICU beds and pediatric-ICU beds. Since COVID-19 poses a more deadly threat to older adults than children, the focus has been on the num-ber of adult-ICU beds.

As of Friday, the average adult-ICU bed availability was 22% statewide, accord-ing to the ESS system. But adult-ICU bed availability varies by county, and some COVID-19 hot spots appear to be running out of open beds as the potential need for them increases. For ex-ample, Palm Beach County has 407 adult ICU beds but just 78 — or 19% — were unoccupied and available for use.

In Broward County, roughly 18% of the 460 adult-ICU beds in the county remained available Friday morning. Miami-Dade County has 971 ICU beds but just 245 are unoccupied and available for use.

A Crystal River man is being accused of breaking into a Homosassa home and throwing a table at a man — all in his search to find a woman who owed him money.

Robert Daniel Wood was arrested Wednesday, June 17, 2020, on charges of burglary, battery and criminal mischief.

Citrus County Sheriff ’s Office deputies booked the 30-year-old at the county jail in Lecanto under a $18,000 bond. A judge upheld Wood’s bond on Thursday, June 18,

during his first court ap-pearance, clerk records show.

According to Wood’s ar-rest report, sheriff ’s office deputies responded on June 17 to the burglarized house, where they met a man and woman who said a skinny man busted into their home and demanded to know where a woman was who owed him $200.

The couple said the man, who a witness later identified as Wood, then left their house and started destroying plants, lawn tools, a window and latticework outside in the front yard. Wood later picked up a small table and threw it at the man

living inside the house, be-fore driving away, his ar-rest report shows.

Deputies and a detec-tive later found Wood being treated at a local hospital for stab wounds to his arm.

When questioned about what happened, Wood said he went to a house in Homosassa and was

mugged by five people, but he changed his statement to say he went to the house to buy pills, his arrest re-port states.

Sheriff’s office investiga-tors looking over the bur-glary scene in Homosassa found blood smears on a glass shard from the broken window, and determined Wood’s injuries were

consistent with someone striking a window with their fist, according to Wood’s arrest report.

Deputies arrested and charged Wood after he was released from the hospital.

Students have two choices when it comes to enrolling with the Citrus County School District for the upcoming school year amid COVID-19: tradi-tional or virtual.

School district officials released instructions on how families can register their children for either an education in brick-and-mortar classrooms or on-line with Citrus Virtual School.

“We are relying on fami-lies’ prompt reply which will help us finalize our plans for the fall,” stated a school district news

release. “Working together, we can ensure that students start the 2020-2021 school year ready for success.”

Aug. 10, 2020, is the first day of school, but registra-tion for Citrus Virtual School is due by July 11, 2020, according to the school district.

Families new to the school district must pro-vide several documents and request a Skyward ac-count. For information, visit tinyurl.com/ycceevuf.

Those wanting to enroll students in a physical or virtual school must either update their children’s emergency form or send in a new one through Sky-ward. For information, visit tinyurl.com/y9b8sdgb.

Students who don’t se-lect an option by July 11 will, by default, be en-rolled at a brick-and- mortar school.

Questions can be asked by contacting the school a student is zoned for during regular business hours, Monday through Thursday.

To look up a child’s school zone, visit tinyurl.com/y9sphxa7 or call 352-746-3960.

Citrus Virtual School is a franchise of the Florida Virtual School with state-standard curriculum taught online by local teachers with help from parents acting as “learn-ing coaches.”

Electronic devices will be provided to help

students access the internet.

Even though student class times will be flexible, subjects will be taught over a universal platform that tests, takes atten-dance and records grades.

Citrus Virtual School students won’t be able to participate in the Interna-tional Baccalaureate or academy programs, but there is a school athletic program available.

Students must commit at least a semester of Cit-rus Virtual School before they can decide to transfer out of it.

In addition to what vir-tual schooling would offer, with the exception of flex-ible class times and parent

help, enrolling in a physi-cal school will give stu-dents access to face-to-face instruction, busing and school meals.

While learning at a school, students will have reduced physical interac-tions and frequent hand-washing breaks. They’ll also be recom-mended to wear a mask or cloth covering.

If COVID-19 causes cam-puses to close, like the virus did in March 2020, students will continue their educa-tion through distanced learning, which is different than the virtual school.

Mario Carta specializes in small household repair jobs, which are big deals to homeowners.

“I had a lot of rental property in South Florida, the Miami area, and there was no way I could hire people to take care of all I needed to have done,” said Carta, who, together with his wife, Alina, owns and operates Affordable Handyman Service.

“Having worked with my fa-ther years ago — he was a mas-ter bricklayer — I learned a bunch of different trades, and after I did it for myself, people would ask, ‘Could you do this for me? Could you do that for me?’ and it grew into a busi-ness,” Carta said.

He and Alina have worked as a team for the past 17 years in Citrus County, doing home re-pairs, from carpentry and

plumbing to painting, fixing locks, cleaning gutters and ev-erything in between.

“We do the things contractors don’t want to do because they’re too small,” he said.

When the coronavirus first hit Florida and many busi-nesses were closed, as more people started staying home, Carta said his calls for service actually increased.

“They were home, looking around at things they needed to

have done and called us,” he said.He said the most challenging

part of this time has been find-ing the parts and materials he needed for jobs, since stores were having trouble keeping their shelves stocked.

That, and not shaking hands with people.

“That was hard, because I’m a hand shaker, but we do what we need to do to keep ourselves and others safe,” he said. “I just tell people it’s not personal,

and they understand.”Carta said of all the jobs he

does, his favorite so far has been working on koi ponds.

“I love designing and install-ing them,” he said.

reverses course on masks after backlash

LOS ANGELES — The na-tion’s largest movie theater chain changed its position on mask-wearing less than a day after the company became a tar-get on social media for saying it would defer to local govern-ments on the issue.

AMC Theaters CEO Adam Aron said Friday that its theaters will require patrons to wear masks upon reopening, which will begin in mid-July. Customers who don’t wear masks won’t be admitted or allowed to stay.

“We think it is absolutely cru-cial that we listen to our guests,” Aron said. “It is clear from this response that we did not go far enough on the usage of masks.”

Rival chain Regal followed AMC’s lead. Spokesman Rich-ard Grover said Friday that moviegoers must wear masks in all its theaters as well.

AMC Theaters wasn’t the first to say it would defer to officials on the mask issue. That policy was identical to what Cinemark announced earlier this month. Cinemark did not immediately respond to requests for com-ment. Most major retailers re-quire masks for customers only where local rules mandate it.

But the AMC plan hit a nerve for many on Thursday and #boycottAMC quickly became a trending topic on Twitter.

The outrage was further flamed by one of Aron’s comments in an interview with the Hollywood trade Variety that implied that taking a hard stance on mask-wearing was a political matter.

“We did not want to be drawn into a political controversy,” Aron said. “We thought it might be counterproductive if we forced

mask wearing on those people who believe strongly that it is not necessary.”

AMC said it will open 450 of its U.S. locations on July 15, with the goal of having most of its theaters in operation by July 24.

Disney to roll out new reservation

system for reopeningORLANDO — When Walt Dis-

ney World reopens its Florida theme parks next month after shutting down during the corona-virus pandemic, they’ll be intro-ducing a new reservation system.

The company announced Fri-day that the new Disney Park Pass System will operate through disneyworld.com on ei-ther a desktop or mobile device, and registration through a My Disney Experience account will be required. Visitors must have a valid park ticket or an annual pass to get reservations.

The system is not yet avail-able, but will be rolled out before the parks reopen starting July 11. Disney, and Orlando’s other theme parks, closed in mid-March to help curb the spread the coronavirus. Universal

Orlando and SeaWorld reopened earlier this month.

At first, guests won’t be able to “park hop” among Disney’s four theme parks.

The Disney Park Pass Sys-tem, which is not yet available, will operate through disneyworld.com (desktop or mobile), and registration via a My Disney Ex-perience account will be re-quired. Visitors must have a valid park ticket or an annual pass to secure reservations.

“Guests will be able to select one park per day; visiting more than one park per day will be temporarily unavailable upon the reopening of the theme parks due to attendance limitations,” according to an official Disney Parks Blog post.

Anyone who holds a multiday ticket must make reservations. Eventually, everything will be linked in the system, with a cal-endar of available dates for each Disney World park.

“We hope to bring back the ability to visit more than one park per day soon,” the post said

Officials said sales of 2020 tickets will resume later this year, the post said.

AMC Empire 25 theatre appears on May 13 on 42nd Street in New York. AMC Theaters CEO Adam Aron said Friday that its theaters will require patrons to wear masks upon reopening, which will begin in July.

Azucena ‘Susie’ PardoIt is with great sadness,

that the family of Azucena Maria “Susie” Pardo, an-

nounces her pass-ing on June 15th, 2020. After a long beautiful life on earth, she d i e d p e a c e -fully, sur-

rounded by loved ones, her “Angel on Earth” Lee Anne and the care of VITAS Hos-pice at her home.

She was born on Sep-tember 11th, 1928 in Ha-vana, Cuba as the daughter of Commodore Joaquin Varela and Susana Matilda “Miimi” Vieytes-Varela.

In 1949 she met the love of her life, H.G. Pardo and they were married in Chi-cago, Illinois on June 16th, 1951. We pray that our God has taken her to reunite with her beloved husband just in time for their 69th Wedding Anniversary. They were married in their Catholic faith in the U.S, returned to Cuba for the birth of their son, Huvi and once again returned to the U.S. in 1959 never to return to their homeland. Proudly becoming Ameri-can citizens, they lived in Miami, Florida, Brinkley, Arkansas, where their daughter Susan was born and then made Crystal River, Florida their final home in 1971.

As a young professional in Cuba, Susie owned an educational academy and taught English reading and writing. She was a very talented piano player and a professional seam-stress that was well re-spected in every hometown she lived. She also went to work at Sears Roebuck & Co. “part-time” just for Christmas and ended up retiring from Sears 29 years later.

But her best and most rewarding job of all, was

taking care of her family and especially her grand-son, Ryan.

She would be the first to plan the family gatherings, vacations and any excuse to celebrate someone she loved. She will always be fondly remembered as a devoted daughter, sister, wife, mother, grand-mother, aunt and loyal friend to many. She lived her life dedicated to those she loved. Always being a compassionate, support-ive and giving soul.

Susie was immensely proud of her family and leaves behind the most beautiful memories of her life lived with a passionate love for family and life it-self. Her smiling eyes will forever remain in the hearts of those that will miss her dearly.

Susie was predeceased by her parents, her hus-band, her brother Capt. Jack “Pupi” Varela and her infant son, Left to cherish her memory are her son, Huvi M. Pardo and wife Malinda of Crys-tal River, daughter Susan Mullen and husband Brad of Citrus Hills, Godson Jack Varela of Miami, her grandson Ryan Grow of Citrus Hills, sister- in-law Margarita Varela of Miami, and many dear cousins, n ieces , nephews, great-nephews and loving life long freinds.

Catholic funeral Mass will be held at St. Scholas-tica in Homosassa, FL on Monday, June 22nd, 2020, at 11:30 a.m. with attendance beginning at 10:30 a.m. Graveside service immedi-ately following at Fero Me-morial Gardens in Beverly Hills, FL.

M e m o r i a l C o n -tributiions in Mrs. Pardo’s honor may be gifted to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.

Arrangements have been entrusted with Bald-win Brothers, Ocala, FL.

Online condolescences as well as fond memories can be left for the Pardo family by visiting www.baldwincremation.com

Obituary

Azucena ‘Susie’ Pardo

Danica KirKa anD Jill lawless

Associated Press

LONDON — Ian Holm, a versa-tile British actor whose long career included roles in “Chariots of Fire” and “The Lord of the Rings” has died. He was 88.

Holm died peacefully Friday morning in a hospital, surrounded by his family and carer, his agent Alex Irwin said in a statement. His illness was Parkinson’s-related.

“His sparkling wit always accom-panied a mischievous twinkle in his eye,” Irwin said. “Charming, kind and ferociously talented, we will miss him hugely.’’

Holm appeared in scores of mov-ies big and small, from costume dramas to fantasy epics. A genera-tion of moviegoers knows him as Bilbo Baggins in “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit” trilogies.

He won a British Academy Film Award and gained a supporting-ac-tor Oscar nomination for portraying pioneering athletics coach Sam Mussabini in the hit 1982 film “Chariots of Fire.”

His other movie roles included Father Cornelius in “The Fifth Ele-ment,” android Ash in “Alien,’’ a smooth-talking lawyer in “The Sweet Hereafter,’’ Napoleon Bona-parte in “Time Bandits,’’ writer Lewis Carroll in ”Dreamchild” and a royal physician in “The Madness of King George.’’

He was also a charismatic the-ater actor who won a Tony Award for best featured actor as Lenny in Harold Pinter’s play “The Home-coming” in 1967.

He was a longtime member of the Royal Shakespeare Company, though a bout of debilitating stage fright that struck during a produc-tion of “The Iceman Cometh” in 1976 kept him off the stage for many years.

“I think it happens quite often to actors,” Holm told the Associated Press in 1998. “They lose their nerve. They may think it’s a crazy way to make a living, or whatever. I

was fortunately gainfully employed in the other media. I could have fro-zen in front of a camera, and I would have had to become a chim-ney sweep or something.”

He returned to live performance and won a 1998 Laurence Olivier Award for best actor for his perfor-mance in the title role of “King Lear” at the National Theatre.

Holm was knighted in 1998 for his services to drama.

Mia Farrow said he was “among the giants of the theater.”

“We met while working at the RSC where, mid-performance of

Iceman Cometh, terror seized him and he left the stage — for 14 years,” she tweeted. “He worked in films and TV — unfailingly brilliant.”

Royal Shakespeare Company ar-tistic director Gregory Doran called Holm “one of the RSC greats”

“Ian was entirely original. En-tirely a one-off,“ Doran said. ”He had a simmering cool, a com-pressed volcanic sense of ferocity, of danger, a pressure cooker actor, a rare and magnificent talent. There’s a great spirit gone.”

Holm was married four times and had five children.

Associated PressActor Ian Holm arrives for the Universal Pictures 100th Anniversary Grand Classics Screening event April 30, 2012, in London. Holm, the acclaimed British actor whose long career included roles in “Chariots of Fire” and “The Lord of the Rings” has died, his agent said Friday. He was 88. Holm died peacefully in the hospital, surrounded by his family and carer, his agent, Alex Irwin, said in a statement. His illness was Parkinson’s related.

them cautious.“He was very polite —

he was so different from any other person who had messaged me,” Jennifer said.

Then came their first date.

“I actually brought a friend with me,” Jennifer said. “Today, dating is so different from how it was.”

They met at the former Tavern on the Square downtown in Ocala and had such a good time that on their second date Jen-nifer didn’t need to bring a friend.

That was in February 2019, and Greg started making the commute from Ocala to Homosassa to see Jennifer.

“He did it faithfully,” Jennifer said.

On one trip, July 7, 2019, the couple were in the car in front of Jennifer’s par-ents’ house and Greg proposed.

“I knew she wouldn’t say no,” Greg said. “I’d been talking to her mom. Her mom loves me, so I’m good.”

They began planning a wedding.

This was to be a second wedding for each of them, and as Greg said, “second and final.”

Jennifer began looking for ideas on Pinterest, dreaming of a beach wed-ding with lots of friends and family from out of town, her extended family in Kentucky and Greg’s in Virginia.

Then the global pan-demic threw a monkey wrench into their plans as wedding venues began shutting down, not to men-tion the couple’s family members were hesitant about traveling to Florida.

As Jennifer thought, “How are we going to get married now?” she found Annmarie Briercheck, a special events planner and owner of Tuscany on the Meadows at the Qual-ity Inn and Conference Center in Hernando, who told the frantic bride-to-be on the phone, “I promise I’ll take care of you.”

Briercheck’s plan?To have a very small “so-

cial distancing” wedding under the gazebo with just the couple’s immediate family but have it on Face-book Live so all the ex-tended family and friends from around the area and out of state could be there virtually.

This would be Briercheck’s first virtual wedding, and Jennifer and Greg decided to take a leap of faith with her and with each other.

“She told us, ‘It’s not going to be huge, but it will be perfect,’” Jennifer said.

The couple married on Friday, June 5, 2020, with Jennifer’s daughter, Lon-don Short, 10, and Greg’s daughter, Jazmine Bull-ock,10, as flower girls and local minister the Rev. Jeff Hollis officiating.

“It was absolutely per-fect,” Jennifer said several days after the wedding. “To me, it’s the marriage that’s most important. You can have a dream wedding that costs a lot of money, but not have a good mar-riage. And you can have a small, simple wedding and have an amazing marriage.

“This turned out per-fectly for us,” she said, “and we’ve been talking about how happy we both were on our special day.”

WEDDINGContinued from Page A1

table for thousands of events.

“I have such an amazing job — I’m a part of peo-ple’s once in a lifetime mo-ments,” she said. “Whether it’s a wedding, a celebra-tion of life, an awards ban-quet, a christening or baptism or a 50th anniver-sary, the only time you come here it’s for a once in a lifetime event — and I get to share that with you.”

She said her banquet room and outdoor gazebo are extensions of her home. She doesn’t have “customers,” she has guests.

“This isn’t a restaurant where we’re open every day,” she said. “We don’t do anything except your special event.”

She said sometimes, when it’s minutes before an event begins and every-thing is in place and ready for guests to arrive, there’s a brief moment when she takes it all in and thinks, “You were right, Mom.”

She averages between 30 and 40 weddings plus numerous other events per year, and each one is

different and special to her.

“So, when the coronavi-rus caused everything to stop — I was crushed,” she said. “You wake up one day and your whole busi-ness that you’ve worked so hard for and put every-thing into is suddenly gone? How does that happen?”

She had to call people whose events were on her calendar to either cancel or reschedule for some time in the future — maybe.

And then one day her calendar was empty.

“I remember locking my doors — my son was with me — and I got teary,” she said. “I thought, ‘This is the first time in all these years that I’m locking my doors not knowing when my next event is, or if there will even be a next event.”

Or a next paycheck.“I’ve always lived by

faith, and God has always taken care of me,” she said.

So, she locked her doors to Tuscany on the Mead-ows and prayed.

On Sunday, May 31, 2020, Briercheck got a call from a frantic bride-to-be who had found her by Googling

“weddings.”“Actually, we only had

one cancelation when we closed down,” Briercheck said. “All the rest moved their events to future dates. But this bride wanted something soon.

“She said, ‘We want to get married, but with ev-erything shut down, we don’t know what to do.’ I blurted out, ‘Have you thought about doing a vir-tual wedding?’ I had never done one before,” she said.

However, she realized at that moment, couples still want to get married, peo-ple still want to celebrate their once in a lifetime moments, and if she wanted to stay in business, she needed to find new ways of doing things.

“It’s ‘What do you want?’ When it comes to a wed-ding, you want a memory that you can share with your family and you want something you can hang on your dining room wall,” she said.

So, she called local pho-tographer, Charlie Brown Photography, and together they put together a plan to make a bride and groom happy on their special day — five days later, June 5, 2020.

Brown took photos of the bridal couple, Jennifer and Greg Bullock, and posted a live video feed of the wedding ceremony in the gazebo on Facebook so the couple’s friends and family could watch from as far away as Kentucky and Virginia.

“And then another bride called and I told her we’re doing these virtual wed-dings, so this is something we’re going to be able to do now to get back to nor-mal, or whatever normal is,” Briercheck said.

“As a business owner, you have to elevate to ac-celerate,” she said. “Ele-vate means to bring yourself up, to rise, and that’s what we’re all doing right now. We’re all rising to the occasion, finding new ways of doing things ... of meeting our customers’ needs.

“It’s difficult times for everyone, but for me, it’s also about trusting God to provide,” she said. “He al-ways has, and he always will.”

Deputies shoot man outside rehab clinic

WILTON MANORS — A Florida deputy shot a man in a parking lot near a rehab center Friday afternoon, au-thorities said.

The shooting occurred near the Wilton Manors Health and Rehabilitation Center, according to a Bro-ward Sheriff’s Office news release.

Detectives had attempted to make contact with the man, officials said. During the encounter, deputies were involved in a shooting. Offi-cials didn’t say what led to the shooting or how many deputies were involved.

The man was taken to a nearby hospital. Officials didn’t release his condition.

No deputies were reported injured.

Officials didn’t release the names or races of the depu-ties or the man who was shot.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement will investi-gate the shooting.

New law will ban pelvic exams

without consentTALLAHASSEE — Doc-

tors and medical students won’t be able to perform pel-vic exams on unconscious patients without their in-formed consent under a bill signed by Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis late Thursday.

The new law that goes into effect July 1 also bans doctors and health care practitioners from inseminat-ing a woman or implanting an embryo using their own reproductive material.

The bill was a priority for Democratic Sen. Lauren Book, who has spent her adult life trying to protect people from sexual abuse.

“To be a woman and to be unconscious ... with people doing medical procedures on you without your knowledge, they don’t tell you, that’s a terribly bad thing,” Book said.

Book said she was horri-fied to learn the exams are performed on women under anesthesia as a teaching tool for medical students, unbe-knownst to patients. She said no woman should have her vagina examined without her consent, regardless of the intent.

The House sponsor, Dem-ocratic Rep. Evan Jenne, praised DeSantis for signing the bill.

“Both things were happen-ing in Florida on a daily basis,” Jenne said. “Uncon-sented pelvic exams were taking place in the state of

Florida. We know of doctors ... that were using their sperm without telling their fertility patients. Both of those things now come to an end.”

Jenne expressed amaze-ment that there was even a need for the new law.

“It’s proof that we’re living on the darkest timeline that we actually have to say, ‘Hey, you can’t do that,’” Jenne said.

Apple closes stores in 4 states as infections rise

SAN RAMON, Calif. — Apple is closing 11 stores in Arizona, Florida, North Caro-lina and South Carolina that it had reopened just a few weeks ago as coronavirus infections rates in some re-gions in the U.S. begin to rise.

The decision announced Friday is another sign that the pandemic might prevent the economy from bouncing back as quickly as some states have been hoping. Those concerns sent stocks on Wall Street lower Friday.

Arizona and Florida have both experienced rising inci-dents of new cases and rates of those testing positive for COVID-19.

Over the past two weeks, the rolling average number of daily new cases in Florida has increased by 1,422.7, or 144.4%., according to re-searchers at Johns Hopkins University tracking the virus.

“We take this step with an abundance of caution as we closely monitor the situation and we look forward to having our teams and customers back as soon as possible,” Apple said in a prepared statement.

The Carolinas have also experienced an uptick, based on the John Hopkins data.

Apple began reopening more than 30 stores scat-tered across the country last month after shutting down all of its U.S. brick-and-mortar locations in March. The Cu-pertino, California, company has continued to sell iPhones, including a new $399 model released during the lockdown, and other products in its online store.

Seven of the Apple stores that are closing again are in Arizona. Two stores are clos-ing in both Florida and North Carolina. The other one is in South Carolina.

Although he doesn’t ex-pect the store closures to put a significant dent in Apple’s sales, Wedbush Securities Daniel Ives said the move “is a worrisome trend that speaks to the volatility and fluidity of this COVID environment.”

Alleged speeding with suspended license leads to driver’s arrestFred Hiers

Staff writer

A traffic stop after a driver was speeding more than 30 mph over the speed limit led to the arrest of a Lakeland man for driving without a license after multiple prior suspensions and violation of probation, according to the Citrus County Sheriff ’s Office.

A Citrus County Sheriff ’s Office deputy arrested Fredrick Harry Ohara, 57, after he saw Ohara drive 77 mph on U.S. 41 near East Dearborn Derive, ac-cording to arrest docu-ments. The speed limit is 45 mph, according to road signs.

The arresting deputy said Ohara told the deputy he knew he was stopped because of speeding and estimated his own speed at 75 mph, according to arrest documents.

The deputy reported Ohara had several driver’s suspensions, the latest being in 2018, and his driv-er’s license was also cur-rently suspended. Driving with a suspended license also violated his probation.

According to arrest doc-uments, Ohara was on pro-bation beginning in 2019 for burglarizing an unoccu-pied dwelling in Polk County. That probation was scheduled to end in 2021.

The arresting deputy took Ohara to jail with no bond.

Deputies nab Hernando man in

act of burglarizingCitrus County Sheriff ’s

Office deputies on Wednes-day, June 16, 2020, arrested Timothy Michael McKib-bon, 41, charging him with grand theft of less than $300 and burglary of an un-coppied residence.

The incident began when an area neighbor telephoned the CCSO and told the law enforcement

agency they saw two men walk around the home at 4 N. Monroe St., Beverly Hills, and make their way inside.

Deputies arriving at the house found McKibbon, of 4524 N. Remington Ter-race, Hernando, there, ac-cording to arrest documents. They did not find the second man. Ar-resting deputies also re-ported many tools at the front door prepared to be taken out of the home.

McKibbon told deputies another man he knew asked him for a car ride to the vacant home. When they arrived, the other man told McKibbon he planned to burglarize the house, according to the ar-rest report. He told depu-ties he entered the house by way of an unlocked back door after seeing no one was home, according to arrest records.

McKibbon told deputies when he saw the other man bring items from the house to the front door he also began taking things, including a power drill and paint gun and put them on the backseat of his four-door Saturn sedan, according to arrest reports.

A deputy at the home looked in the car and saw the items McKibbon de-scribed. Deputies arrested McKibben and took him to the county jail. His bond was set at $12,000.

Homeless man, squatter arrested for home burglaryThe Citrus County Sher-

iff ’s Office said it arrested a Hernando homeless man linked to an April home burglary and theft of jewelry.

This is what led to the arrest of Joshua Dale Lar-kin, 32, according to his arrest report.

On April 23, 2020, the victim of a home burglary told deputies that when

she arrived home she found the remnants of a cigar by her front door. When she went inside to her spare bedroom she saw that her jewelry box had been cleaned out and several silver and gold necklaces, bracelets, and rings were missing, ac-cording to the arrest re-port. Also missing was a collection of small, metal replicas of antique automobiles.

The victim told deputies when she went into her bedroom, she again saw the remnants of a cigar on her dresser, which was not the same as the 305 men-thols she smoked, accord-ing to the arrest report.

Missing from the dresser was another jewelry box, a gold watch and bracelet.

The victim told the ar-resting deputy that about a month before, a neighbor saw a man trespassing on her property and the CCSO was notified. The deputy at the time identi-fied Larkin as the trespasser.

On June 15, 2020, the ar-resting deputy found and spoke with Larkin at the county jail. He had been arrested on unrelated charges.

According to the arrest report, Larkin admitted to again “squatting” on the front porch of the victim’s home and that he went in-side to use the bathroom and steal food to eat. He said he did not find any-thing to eat, but did re-member smoking inside the home and left the un-smoked portion in the kitchen. He told the arrest-ing deputy he did not steal any jewelry from the home.

The arresting deputy charged Larkin with grand theft of less than $5,000, but more than $750 and burglary of an unoccupied dwelling.

Belmont sets pace for Triple CrownTiz the Law favored

Beth harrisAP racing writer

It’s been 17 years since Jack Knowlton and his Sackatoga Stable pals rode yellow school buses to the Belmont Stakes. It was a rollicking party on wheels for the group that came to watch their colt Funny Cide try to sweep the Triple Crown.

It didn’t happen that day.Now, the ownership group that buys

just one or two New York-bred colts a year is back to try again with Tiz the Law. He’s the star of a 10-horse field for the Belmont on Saturday, perhaps the biggest event in U.S. sports since the coronavirus pan-demic shut down competition in mid-March.

“I still wake up and kind of pinch my-self and say it looks like lightning really has struck twice,” Knowlton said.

Tiz the Law is the early 6-5 favorite for the Belmont, which kicks off what Knowl-ton calls a “backwards Triple Crown.” In-stead of completing the series of three races run over five weeks, the Belmont is getting things started for the first time. The Kentucky Derby follows on Sept. 5, with the Preakness finishing up on Oct. 3.

Tiz the Law is the only horse in the race with Grade 1 stakes victories. He’ll try to buck history as the first New York-bred in 138 years to win the $1 million race. His

82-year-old trainer, Barclay Tagg, is chas-ing a win that eluded him in 2003 after Funny Cide won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness only to lose his Triple Crown bid in the Belmont.

“Tiz The Law has been the best 3-year-old since January basically, and he re-mains that,” retired Hall of Fame jockey Jerry Bailey said. “He would have been favored in whatever Triple Crown race we ran first, so we have a superstar that we’re going to see on Saturday.”

This Belmont — rescheduled from June 6 — will be run at 1 1/8 miles, the first time since 1925 it won’t be its usual grueling 1 1/2 miles. The top four finishers earn

Kentucky Derby qualifying points, includ-ing 150 to the winner.

“He’s a versatile horse. He can be there on the pace or sit off, so I can do whatever I want,” Tiz the Law’s jockey Manny Franco said. “He’s run here before and won and I think he likes the track, so that’s to our advantage.”

Rival trainer Mark Casse said, “If you beat him, you win.”

Casse saddles 6-1 shot Tap It to Win, try-ing to become the first trainer to win back-to-back in 24 years after taking last year’s Belmont with Sir Winston. Linda Rice oversees 15-1 shot Max Player. No woman has trained the winner of a Triple Crown

race. Sole Volante is the early 9-2 second choice coming off a quick 10-day layoff. Dr Post is the 5-1 third choice in the wagering.

The date and distance aren’t the only things different about this Belmont. Ad-hering to dramatically new rules caused by COVID-19 means no owners or fans are allowed at the sprawling track that usu-ally caps attendance at 90,000.

Knowlton hasn’t seen Tiz the Law race in person since Feb. 3 in Florida because of the pandemic. Undeterred, he and his group plan to watch on a restaurant patio in upstate Saratoga Springs.

“There is always a Sackatoga party in some way, shape or form,” Knowlton said.

There’s no Charlatan, Honor A. P., Max-field or Nadal in the field because of inju-ries and sudden retirement. No Bob Baffert, the white-haired trainer of unde-feated Charlatan and Nadal.

“In many ways I felt the Belmont was going to be the Kentucky Derby, the first time the best horses in training were going to be meeting each other,” Knowl-ton said. “Clearly, with Bob’s two horses and Maxfield out, there isn’t quite the star power we all expected.”

Without Baffert, fellow Hall of Famers Steve Asmussen, Casse, Bill Mott and Todd Pletcher will saddle half the field.

“It’s going to be a far different scene for sure,” Pletcher said. “It’s sad in some ways, but we’re grateful we’re getting an opportunity to run.”

Four MLB teams shut down camps

Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Phillies shut their spring complex after five players tested positive for COVID-19 and at least three other teams closed camps Friday, rais-ing the possibility the coronavirus pandemic could scuttle all attempts at a Major League Base-ball season.

The Toronto Blue Jays shuttered their site in Dunedin — about five miles from the Phillies’

camp in Clearwater — after a player showed symptoms consistent with the virus.

The San Francisco Gi-ants’ facility in Scottsdale, Arizona, was shut after one person who had been to the site and one family member exhibited symp-toms Thursday. Texas closed its camp about 30 miles away in Surprise, saying no one had tested positive but that it wanted to expand testing protocols.

Simpson leads HeritageWatney leaving after positive test

Doug FergusonAP golf writer

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. — Webb Simpson and Bryson De-Chambeau were trading birdies with vastly different games. Rory McIlroy ran off enough birdies to make the cut. And the biggest move of the day at the RBC Heritage be-longed to a player who made it to the course, but not the tee.

Nick Watney became a footnote in golf history Friday as the first player to test positive for the coronavirus.

“I was a little shocked, to be hon-est,” said Vaughn Taylor, who played with Watney in the opening round and went for testing immediately after his 69. “Heart started racing, got a little nervous. Just hope Nick’s doing well and we get through this.”

Watney tested negative when he arrived Tuesday, experienced symp-toms Friday and took another test that came back positive. He now faces self-isolation for at least 10 days as the tournament goes on.

The weekend buzz at Harbour Town figures to be about more than just birdies and bogeys.

Simpson got the last word with a 6-foot birdie on his final hole at No. 9 for another 6-under 65, giving him a one-shot lead after another day of watching DeChambeau and his ad-ditional 40 pounds of mass swing out of his shoes for a 64. DeChambeau made six birdies on his back nine, missing a 5-footer on the last that would have tied for the lead. Corey Conners also was one back after a bogey-free 63.

“It’s very satisfying knowing I’m not near as long as some of these guys and I’m able to kind of use my skills of distance control and shot shape to pick me back up when I’m 40 yards or 30 yards behind these guys,” Simpson said. “I would like to hit it further. I set out on a journey three years ago to get stronger, hit it further, but do it a lot slower than Bryson. But he’s made it look easy and seamless.”

Simpson was at 12-under 130, and scoring remained bunched. Thun-derstorms that rolled through the island and halted play for two hours only gave players more time to talk about Watney and the ramifications. McIlroy and Jordan Spieth, who is on the PGA Tour policy board, said a positive test was bound to happen as the tour returns from a three-month shutdown because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The whole plan put in place was not if, but when somebody tests pos-itive, what’s the protocol, and what are the next steps,” Spieth said. “So

I feel confident, just in being on those phone calls, in what the PGA Tour’s going to do going forward here, and hopefully contact tracing doesn’t lead to anybody else testing positive within the bubble.”

Clemson sees 23 football players test positive

CLEMSON, S.C. — Clemson said 23 football players have tested positive for coronavirus since returning to cam-pus this month.

Clemson announced the results Fri-day. It did not identify the athletes.

In all, school spokesman Jeff Kallin said 28 people were found with COVID-19 since testing began for athletes and other personnel on June 8.

The uptick at Clemson mirrors one in the state of South Carolina, which re-ported a single-day high of 1,081 peo-ple testing positive on Friday.

Along with the players, two football staffers and three athletes from other sports were found with the virus.

The school said all were asymptom-atic and have begun isolation for at least 10 days. No one has been hospitalized.

NCAA takes aim at Confederate flag

Emboldened by the athletes it serves, the NCAA is taking another stand on a social issue.

The NCAA on Friday expanded its policy banning states with prominent Confederate symbols from hosting its sponsored events, one day after the

Southeastern Conference made a simi-lar declaration aimed at the Mississippi state flag.

The current NCAA ban, in place since 2001, applies to what the NCAA calls predetermined sites, such as for men’s basketball tournament games.

Mississippi is the only state currently affected by the policy. The expanded ban — supported by all eight public uni-versities in the state — means that even when sites of NCAA events are determined by performance, as they are in baseball, women’s basketball and softball, Mississippi schools will not be permitted to host.

Wall Street dips as virus fears drown

out economy hopesStan Choe, alex Veiga and damian J. troiSe

AP business writers

NEW YORK — Wall Street careened through all the forces that have pushed and pulled it through the week, at first ris-ing on Friday amid hope for the economy and then falling on worries about worsen-ing coronavirus levels in some states, all before ending with modest losses.

The S&P 500 dropped 0.6%, a relatively small move to cap its fourth weekly gain in the last five. But the market had ap-peared headed for a bigger day earlier in trading, either up 1.3% or down 1%.

It’s another example of how uncertainty is the dominant force over Wall Street as investors weigh budding improvements in the economy against worsening infection levels in the South and West. Also exacer-bating volatility was Friday’s simultane-ous expiration of contracts for stock options and futures, an occasional occur-rence that can drive bouts of buying and selling and is known as “quadruple witch-ing day.”

The S&P 500 fell 17.60 points to 3,097.74. The Dow Jones Industrial average dropped 208.64 points, or 0.8%, to 25,871.46 after earlier swinging from a gain of 371 points to a loss of 320 points. The Nas-daq composite inched up by 3.07 points, or less than 0.1%, to 9,946.12.

Early in the day, U.S. stocks appeared set to follow European and Asian markets higher and follow through on Wall Street’s momentum from earlier in the week.

Stocks had rebounded from last week’s 4.8% drop, the worst in nearly three months, in large part because of a report showing U.S. shoppers spent much more last month at stores and online retailers than economists expected. That followed up on encouraging data about the U.S. jobs market and bolstered hopes that the economy can pull out of its recession rel-atively quickly.

“You’re seeing big moves off of very weak numbers,” said Quincy Krosby, chief market strategist at Prudential Financial. “What’s happening is the data are getting less bad.”

Economists at Bank of America now ex-pect the U.S. economy to shrink 5.7% this year, a severe contraction but not as bad as their earlier forecast for an 8.1% plunge.

“Economic data continue to point to a faster and stronger initial recovery,” they wrote in a BofA Global Research report. Some of that is due to economic activity being pulled forward from what they had expected to occur next year, ahead of a long road to full recovery.

The Federal Reserve also reminded markets this week how much it’s doing to prop up the economy.

The central bank said early in the week that it will buy individual corporate bonds as part of its previously announced plan to support lending markets for big em-ployers. Later in the week, the Fed’s chair said it plans to continue to keep interest rates pinned at nearly zero to help cush-ion against the recession.

It was huge efforts by the Fed, along with spending by Congress, that helped the stock market turn around in March from its nearly 34% plunge.

But markets took a sharp turn lower Friday afternoon after Apple said it will temporarily close 11 stores in Arizona, Florida and the Carolinas.

The worst-case scenario for investors is that more waves of coronavirus infections lead to additional business shutdowns, which devastated the economy earlier this year. Even if widespread stay-at-home orders don’t happen, the fear is that scared shoppers may still shy away from stores and businesses may pull back on their own spending.

In another demonstration of how long the road will be back to a normal econ-omy, the Cruise Lines International Asso-ciation said Friday that its members are volunteering not to sail any voyages from U.S. ports until Sept. 15.

Cruise operators had some of the mar-ket’s sharpest losses, including a 6.9% drop for Royal Caribbean Cruises.

Other companies whose profits sorely need the economy to reopen were also weak. United Airlines fell 6.4%, Nord-strom lost 6.3% and mall owner Simon Property Group fell 5.4%.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury note held steady at 0.69% after climbing as high as 0.74% earlier in the day. It tends to move with investors’ expectations for the economy and inflation.

A barrel of U.S. crude oil for delivery in July rose 2.3% to settle at $39.75. Brent crude, the international standard, gained 1.6% to settle at $42.19 per barrel.

Better school plan needed

I just received a letter from Sam Himmel, superintendent of schools, where I’m asked to choose whether my children will attend school in person or through virtual/online learn-ing. In the notification, it spec-ifies that social distancing will be practiced “when feasible” and that mask wearing will be optional.

As this pandemic has pro-gressed through the winter and spring, a great deal has been learned about ways to mitigate and treat the infec-tion. Recently, several widely cited, well performed re-search studies have shown mask wearing is crucial to stopping the spread of the virus. Information about mask wearing has been inconsistent over time, but as we’ve learned more, it has become clear that the virus is spread via respiratory droplets. As a result, mask wearing is clearly an important defense in slow-ing and stopping the spread. Unfortunately, based on the notification from school, mask wearing and social distancing are apparently, largely op-tional. I have two students who will attend schools this fall. With a full-time job my-self, like many other parents, my children’s physical atten-dance at school is important, not just for my work schedule, but for their ability to make meaningful progress academi-cally. I’m shocked that the school district has taken such a laissez-faire approach to two of the three most meaningful non-pharmaceutical interven-tions in minimizing the spread of COVID-19.

It is common when school starts back up, kids pass ill-nesses back and forth between

themselves and their families. The point of mask wearing is not to keep me safe from oth-ers, but to keep others safe from me. In the case of COVID-19, wearing a mask prevents asymptomatic people from spreading the virus to others. Without a better plan for in-school health and safety, we’ll wind up with a school lockdown yet again, to the det-riment of everyone, especially the children. I encourage this publication to investigate and inform the public, and our su-perintendent of schools, re-garding a better plan for mitigating COVID-19 during the new school year. Not to do so is a failure of the Depart-ment of Education’s mission to educate our children.

Highway poorly maintained

Once again, why does a car-ing Inverness individual have to bring to the attention of the city/state — each blames the other — the need for beautifica-tion and the pride of maintain-ing the mediums and shoulders of U.S. 41, south of town.

And in addition, the crape myrtles still were never stripped of the killing moss, nor trimmed. It is such an embarrassment for out-of-town family/friends and po-tential residents visiting this area. What does it take to continue pride and concern for our city? One can drive up and down Thompson Avenue and see the beautifully main-tained mediums.

There is no excuse for this gross neglect to our city and Florida Avenue.

Questions for candidates

I would like all candidates who are running for Superin-tendent of the Citrus County School District to address the following: school security en-hancement; teachers’ paid edu-cation plan; Can a deduction of 10% be reduced from each school’s budge and if not, why? Discipline changes, if any; in-ternet schooling; school times to reduce the number of busses on the road. Can it be done with a savings? Any planned reduc-tions in the administrative staff and why? iPads for students — please address the good and bad along with the insurance if lost or breakage occurs.

MOVING FORWARD

Inverness pushes for

project resolutionIt’s been more than a year

after the Inverness City Council granted John

Eden’s request to annex his 206 acres into the city to de-velop an upscale RV park, and the decision has been mired in a legal feud with the Cit-rus County com-mission wanting to stop it.

In an effort to show good faith and move Eden’s RV park project forward, City Manager Eric Williams notified Citrus County Ad-m i n i s t r a t o r Randy Oliver the city was prepar-ing to issue Eden a development order to allow him to begin the project’s first phase and allow the county an opportu-nity to review the Eden’s current submittal.

Since Eden’s proposal to the city is different than that given to the county, Williams said the city would host a public hearing on the changes out of an abundance of caution.

Williams’ conciliatory ef-fort to move the project for-ward, albeit in the midst of a torturous legal battle, should be recognized.

It’s ridiculous this project has been in limbo for so long over bureaucratic seman-tics. It’s good to see the In-verness city manager working with the county ad-ministrator in hopes that the annexation can proceed, since it’s been in the plans for almost a decade.

While it’s unfortunate that Eden’s application is slightly different from what he filed with the county, Williams is

making a good-faith effort for full disclosure and doing everything by the book.

RV rentals are at an all-time high, a trend which could continue as Americans remain leery of traveling

due to the coro-navirus. And it could be a wel-come addition, eventually, for ecotourism and the community in general when more businesses reopen to wel-c o m e b a c k tourists.

Inverness is not known for its overabundance of tourist beds.

Three cheers for Williams and

his efforts to push the giant Panda into action. He is showing initiative at recon-ciliation to save Citrus County from potentially los-ing an upscale RV park re-quiring few government services, all because of some stubborn county commis-sioners and the county attor-ney. This is one example why many people may not want to do business in Citrus County; there are too many hoops to jump through.

Unfortunately, we have to recognize even if the debate gets settled, work might not start right quickly because of the coronavirus and its im-pact on the economy. Would the investment dollars be available?

But enough is enough. Right now, any form of eco-nomic growth, as well as a boost to the tax rolls, is needed. And kudos to the In-verness city manager for try-ing to move this mess forward.

THE ISSUE:Inverness’ annexation

controversy with county about 206 acres for an RV park.

OUR OPINION:Kudos to

Inverness city manager’s efforts

to resolve this issue.

Tourists might bring more than dollars

This morning’s Chroni-cle listed some of the events coming up in the fall — different festivals and shows — and, of course, talked about the importance of tourism (May 14’s front-page story, “Tourism official: ‘We are turning the fau-cet back on’”). Has it oc-curred to anyone besides me,

perhaps, that all these tourists pouring into Florida from other parts of the country — from

other countries, even — are also going to be bringing not only their dollars, but their vi-ruses? You’re inviting people to come here to infect us in a county that has so many senior citi-zens, myself included. So please be careful what you recommend

and what you wish for. It may

cost us dearly.

Feel free to stay home

I’m calling about the people complaining about businesses opening. As a business owner, I have one thing to say: If you do not feel comfortable going to a restaurant or going into any businesses open, please feel free to stay home. Those of us who have businesses need to get open and get back to our life and get our economy going.

We’re a small town and people cannot survive without their businesses open.

Concerned about fire response

I was a paid fireman in New York City for almost 20 years. I’ve recently moved to Citrus County and stopped by the local fire station. The gentleman there told me that there are three ca-reer firefighters — 24 (hours) on, 48 off — but there are no volunteers. I read in the paper

the other day that there was a house fire in Inverness and sev-eral departments responded to that town, including Citrus Springs, leaving it unmanned with no other men to respond if a fire breaks out in Citrus Springs. Can somebody please tell me when these fire trucks are going to come from a long distance to cover the Citrus Springs area when these fire trucks are going all the way to Inverness for a 500-square-foot mobile home?

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 I am reading the “Hot Cor-

ner: Eateries” in Sunday’s paper, June 14, and all of the patrons that are going to these restaurants are complaining about servers not wearing masks or gloves. I have a ques-tion: Are the patrons wearing their masks and gloves that they keep complaining about the waiters and the waitresses? Do the patrons have on a mask and gloves? And another point, are the waiters and waitresses changing their gloves between patrons? You can’t wear the same gloves the whole time. It only contaminates the food that’s being served to each pa-tron. Think about it. Have a nice day. God bless.

n I am just reading in Sound Off, “I can’t hear you in a mask” (June 14, 2020, Page B2). I find this rather fascinat-ing. I haven’t had trouble with hearing people and my hear-ing is not the best in the world, but I haven’t seemed to have a problem. What I’m won-dering is that Florida has just had a record setting of the virus — what was it, over 1,900 in one day? I also saw graduation at West Point and every cadet also had the mask on. Wearing the mask would help the prevention and saving of lives, as we’ve had at this time 115,000 deaths. I find it rather fascinating to listen to people about wearing the masks. It’s a simple thing. It’s not hard. If you don’t want to wear it, don’t. But if you don’t, don’t talk about people who do. It seems to me is that we have a fascination with things that somebody doesn’t want it because it make them look bad. Well, I’ll tell you,

115,000 dead Americans make you look bad ...

n We like to eat out. When we go to the chain restaurants, including fast food, they wear masks and wipe tables down with antibacterial solution. When we go to the local restau-rants — and we’ve tried several – no masks, no sanitization. So guess where we’ll be going back?

n I’m calling to say that em-ployees in the stores need to wear masks the right way. They’re wearing them under their nose and it doesn’t work that way. I was in (a store) today, June 12, around 2:30 in the afternoon and so many cus-tomers had their masks on cor-rectly and so many employees had theirs on incorrectly. Please let them realize it’s im-portant to protect themselves and others.

n I’m calling in response to the (June 13, 2020, “Hot Cor-ner:) Pandemic Concerns,” to the person that asked why don’t they make it mandatory, the stores, to wear masks? I don’t know if they are aware that some of us become very ill because of wearing a mask and I would still refuse to wear a mask. It’s my right to state that and it’s not legal for them to ask me why, for privacy is-sues. If they have a mask on, then that’s fine. If they feel they’re protected, why are they worried about those of us that cannot wear one for whatever reason? It’s not their business and they should go about their business and just do what they have to do. I do practice social distancing and, of course, all the other things that I’ve done all my life — washing my hands

and taking every other precau-tion. I just wanted to say that and I thank you.

n I’m responding to (the June 13, 2020) “Hot Corner,” where it says about all stores should require everyone to wear a mask and gloves and says, “About 30% of us wear a mask and everybody else runs up and down the aisles with no masks on, spreading stuff.” It just shows you how paranoid you are. You’re considering ev-erybody to have the coronavi-rus and spreading it and that’s not true. Don’t include it’s “ev-erybody” that’s spreading stuff. That’s how paranoid you are.

n Can anyone tell me why, why, when we are trying to open Florida, wearing face masks is now not mandatory? I don’t understand. If we want (the) economy to move again, wearing masks will minimize the spread of the virus. Do we want everything to shut down again? This is total nonsense. Mask wearing at this point, as we’re opening, absolutely should be mandatory for everybody.

n We all know the purpose of our sheriff’s department is to protect us. In that vein, I’d cer-tainly like to ask our deputies to start wearing masks when-ever they’re in public places. We all know the coronavirus is spread much easier when folks aren’t wearing a mask, so that’s the least they could do to take care of us.

n ... I want to alert restaura-teurs that during this COVID-19 era, my family will not eat at your establishment unless kitchen staff, servers and bar-tenders wear protective facial masks.

WalletHub, a personal finance website, has re-leased a report showing the Florida workforce ranks near the bottom in quickest recovery from COVID-19 in the 50 states and District of Columbia.

WalletHub made the comparison using three metrics: change in num-ber of initial unemploy-ment claims in latest week versus last year, change in number of initial unem-ployment claims in latest week versus the start of 2020, and change in num-ber of initial unemploy-ment claims since the start of the COVID-19 crisis ver-sus last year.

Florida ranked 48th in recovered most since the start of the pandemic and 49th in recovered most in the latest week, which

ended June 8, WalletHub said.

DaviD KoenigAP airlines writer

A Transportation Secu-rity Administration official charges that the agency helped spread COVID-19 by failing to provide enough protective gear for airport screeners who are in close contact with trav-elers every day.

The top TSA official in Kansas, Jay Brainard, says the agency didn’t train staff for the pandemic and barred supervisors like him from giving screeners stockpiled N95 respirators in March when facial cov-erings such as surgical masks were hard to buy.

“I have no doubt whatso-ever that our people be-came Typhoid Marys and contributed to the spread of that virus because TSA senior leadership did not make sure (screeners) were adequately pro-tected,” Brainard told The Associated Press on Friday.

Brainard filed a com-plaint against his own agency with the Office of Special Counsel, which handles whistleblower complaints, earlier this month. Late Thursday, the special counsel ordered TSA’s parent agency, the Homeland Security De-partment, to conduct an investigation.

The TSA said in a state-ment that it has followed guidelines set by the Cen-ters for Disease Control and Prevention in deciding protection standards for workers.

Spokeswoman Lisa Farbstein said that at the start of the virus outbreak, TSA told employees that masks were optional, then made them mandatory at

airport checkpoints in the first week of May.

Airport officers are re-quired to wear nitrile gloves when they screen passengers. They must change gloves after every pat-down, and travelers can request the use of new gloves at any time, Farb-stein said. Eye protection has remained optional for screeners.

Farbstein added that plastic barriers have been installed at security check-points and areas where checked bags are dropped off for screening.

Brainard disputed parts of the TSA statement, say-ing screeners have not been told to change gloves after every pat-down. He said new guidelines that took effect last week still have gaps, including no procedure for how to han-dle travelers who appear to be sick and little or no contact-tracing after TSA personnel become sick.

Brainard’s complaint and the special counsel’s demand for an investiga-tion were earlier reported by the Washington Post and National Public Radio.

Air travel in the U.S. re-mained at normal levels until early March despite rising numbers of cases and deaths tied to the coro-navirus. It then plunged by about 95% but has since recovered slightly as more states relax stay-at-home orders.

Brainard said he wants TSA to take corrective steps to protect health as air travel recovers.

TSA says on its website that 706 of its employees have tested positive for COVID-19 and five have died, plus one screening contractor.

‘Why not a black woman?’

for Biden’s running mate

WASHINGTON — Joe Biden is facing growing calls to select a black woman as his running mate as an acknowledgement of their critical role in the Dem-ocratic Party and a re-sponse to the nationwide protests against racism and inequality.

The shifting dynamics were clear late Thursday when Amy Klobuchar took herself out of contention for the vice presidency. The Minnesota senator, who is white, told MSNBC that “this is a moment to put a woman of color on that ticket.”

Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, has already pledged to select a woman as his vice president to en-ergize the party’s base with the prospect of making history.

“Like it or not, I think the question is starting to be-come, ‘Well, why not a black woman?’” said Karen Finney, a spokesperson for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign.

Biden’s team has been vetting potential candidates for weeks and has begun whittling down their list of choices. Several of the po-tential contenders are black, including California Sen. Kamala Harris, Florida Rep. Val Demings, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and Susan Rice, who served as President Barack Obama’s national security adviser. New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Latina, is also in the mix.

Court says Trump rally attendees don’t have to wear masks

TULSA, Okla. — The Oklahoma Supreme Court on Friday rejected a request to require everyone attend-ing President Donald Trump’s rally in Tulsa this weekend to wear a face mask and maintain social distancing inside the arena to guard against the spread of the coronavirus.

The court ruled that the two local residents who asked that the thousands expected at Saturday night’s rally be required to take the precautions couldn’t establish that they had a clear legal right to the relief they sought. Okla-homa has had a recent spike in coronavirus cases, but in a concurring opinion, two justices noted that the state’s plan to reopen its economy is “permissive, suggestive and discretionary.”

Meanwhile, Tulsa’s Re-publican mayor, G.T. Bynum, rescinded a day-old curfew he had imposed for the area around the BOK Center ahead of the rally. The curfew took effect Thursday night and was supposed to remain until Sunday morning.

UN: China’s latest virus outbreak

likely came from Europe

LONDON — The emer-gencies chief of the World Health Organization con-firmed Friday that the U.N. agency received genetic sequences from China in-volving Beijing’s recent coronavirus outbreak and said it appears the virus was exported from Europe.

At a press briefing on Fri-day, Dr. Michael Ryan noted that “strains and vi-ruses have moved around the world” throughout the virus pandemic and said the fact that a virus from Europe sparked China’s lat-est outbreak did not mean the virus originated there.

“What it’s saying most likely is that the disease was probably imported from outside Beijing at some point,” Ryan said, adding that “establishing when that happened and how long the chain of transmission is, is important.” He said that many coronavirus strains spreading in New York could also be linked to Europe.

Heightened awarenessAmid protests for

racial justice, Juneteenth gets new renown

MiKe HouseHolDer, JonatHan Mattise anD

DETROIT — Protesters marched over the Brooklyn Bridge, chanted “We want justice now!” near St. Louis’ Gateway Arch, prayed in At-lanta and paused for a moment of si-lence at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in Washington, as Ameri-cans marked Juneteenth Friday with new urgency amid protests to de-mand racial justice.

The holiday, which commemorates the emancipation of enslaved Afri-can Americans, is usually celebrated with parades and festivals but be-came a day of protest this year in the wake of nationwide demonstrations set off by George Floyd’s killing at the hands of police in Minneapolis.

In addition to the traditional cook-outs and readings of the Emancipa-tion Proclamation — the Civil War-era order that declared all slaves free in Confederate territory — Americans were marching, hold-ing sit-ins or car caravan protests.

Thousands of people gathered at a religious rally in Atlanta. Hundreds of people of all backgrounds marched from St. Louis’ Old Court-house, where the Dred Scott case played out, a pivotal one that led to freeing those enslaved. Protesters and revelers held signs and pushed baby strollers in Dallas, danced to a marching band in Chicago, and, in Detroit, registered people to vote and encouraged them to participate in the Census.

“Now we have the attention of the world, and we are not going to let this slide,” said Charity Dean, director of Detroit’s office of Civil Rights, Inclu-sion and Opportunity, who spoke during an event that called for an end to police brutality and racial equality, and which drew hundreds

of people.Events marking Juneteenth were

planned in every major American city on Friday, although some were being held virtually due to the coro-navirus pandemic. At some events, like in Chicago and New York, partic-ipants packed together, though many wore masks; at others, masks were scarce, though.

In Nashville, Tennessee, about two dozen black men, most wearing suits, quietly stood arm in arm Friday morning in front of the city’s crimi-nal courts. Behind them was a statue of Justice Adolpho Birch, the first African American to serve as chief justice of the Tennessee Supreme Court.

“If you were uncomfortable stand-ing out here in a suit, imagine how you would feel with a knee to your neck,” said Phillip McGee, one of the demonstrators, referring to Floyd, a black man who died after a white po-lice officer pressed a knee into his neck for several minutes.

Former President Abraham

Lincoln first issued the Emancipa-tion Proclamation on Sept. 22, 1862, and it became effective the following Jan. 1. But it wasn’t enforced in many places until after the Civil War ended in April 1865. Word didn’t reach the last enslaved black people until June 19 of that year, when Union sol-diers brought the news of freedom to Galveston, Texas.

Most states and the District of Co-lumbia now recognize Juneteenth, which is a blend of the words June and 19th, as a state holiday or day of recognition, like Flag Day. But in the wake of protests of Floyd’s killing this year and against a backdrop of the coronavirus pandemic that has disproportionately harmed black communities, more Americans — es-pecially white Americans — are be-coming familiar with the holiday and commemorating it.

The growing recognition of June-teenth comes as protests have started to yield concrete results, in-cluding reforms to policing in sev-eral places.

This morning as I added to my grow-ing list of questions

I’d like to ask God when I see him — “What do ba-bies dream about?” Why love bugs ... and fleas?” “What’s this coronavirus really all about?” — I re-membered that God has questions of his own.

However, when God asks someone a question, he already knows the an-swer. Plus, his questions are asked to let people know he’s the one in charge.

In the early pages of the Bible, God goes into the garden for his nightly walk with the first man, Adam — and Adam’s hiding.

“Adam, where are you?” God asks.

Adam replies, “I’m hid-ing — I’m naked.”

God asks another ques-tion: “Who told you that you were naked?”

He doesn’t start the conversation with, “You blew it, Adam. You did the one thing I told you not to do.”

Instead, his question allows Adam to come to the conclusion himself, that he’s guilty.

I see it as a kindness, as the first real snapshot of the heart of God, the mercy of God to want rec-onciliation and relation-ship with his people, and that he makes the first move.

Last week my pastor’s sermon was about the prophet Elijah who had won a showdown with the priests of Baal by calling down fire from heaven that burned up a water- drenched sacrifice, prov-ing that God was the only true God.

After his big victory, he learned he ticked off the wrong person, the evil Queen Jezebel, who put a hit out on him.

Elijah immediately started running for his life.

“He’s disappointed with God, he’s exhausted and he’s also self-ab-sorbed,” the pastor said. “He thinks he’s the only one who’s following God and that God owes him.”

God comes to where Elijah is hiding and asks, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

Then God feeds him, tells him to take a nap, and then he takes him to a mountain where there’s a hurricane-force wind, an earthquake and then a fire — and then a whis-per from God telling Eli-jah that he’s not alone, that there are 7,000 oth-ers who follow God.

God had asked Elijah, “What are you doing here (in this place of despon-dency and despair)?” And to comfort him, he tells Elijah that he has a plan, so there’s no need to worry. He says that to us, too.

He’s got this, whatever our “this” is.

When Jesus came to Earth, he asked questions too.

To some blind men he asked, “Do you believe I’m able to do this?” and then healed them. To his disciples he asked, “Why are you so afraid (O ye of little faith)?” and then he calmed the raging storm.

When a huge crowd of people were hungry, he

When I first got the Path shelter opened I was told because I was a

nonprofit, I could go to a food bank and get free food to feed the people in my shelter.

I do remember all of us trying to buy food for the shelter, and it was awful sometimes what was left over for us to eat in the refrig-erator. These were the days when many agencies had to buy their food retail or try to get it donated.

I made some phone calls and found out I could drive to Tampa, Or-lando or Ocala to go the food bank to get some food. I jumped in our pickup truck and headed for the Ocala food bank to load up!

I drove for about an hour and pulled up to a large open door and saw food everywhere stacked 20 feet in the air on pal-lets. The man at the door said “You are from Citrus County? “We are not allowed to serve

you.”What I learned the

hard way is, the whole country had rules about food banks and who they could serve. I’m sure it’s complicated and they had good rea-sons, but I can’t tell you how I felt the whole way home.

When I got back, I put it into the long-range plans for Citrus County to have a food

bank. This is when some of us in Citrus started hearing stories about our local grocery stores

donating our surplus food to Second Harvest food bank of Tampa. I didn’t know how true it was, but I drove down to Tampa — only to find out there were some rules and qualifying if I wanted to pick up their food.

Yes, I felt stupid and should have known better. All of us have rules to operate. Some time later, Rich, the director of Daystar, said he was working on the Tampa food bank to get them to deliver the food to Cit-rus County. We jumped through the paperwork hoops and ea-gerly filled out our order forms, for which they told us there were no guarantees.

I drove to Daystar and waited with Rich for the truck to arrive. We waited all day, only to get a phone call the truck had broken down and was not going to make it.

We stuck with it and several

more times when the truck did arrive, there was nothing left on the truck any of us wanted for our ministries.

I’m quite sure if you went around to other food pantries and churches, you would com-pile a large list of stories of things the feeding agencies would do to get the poorest of Citrus County fed. I will let your imagination wander about what has happened in the past 20 years.

Diane Toto came along a little later and was a Tasmanian devil when it came to getting people in our county fed. I drove down one day after she got a whole semi-truck of red potatoes do-nated to our county. They were very near bad, wet and stinky. We gave it our best but ended up throwing most of it away.

Congregation Beth Sholom, 102 Civic Circle, Beverly Hills, continues “separate but together” on-line programs. In addition to Friday evening sab-bath service starting 7 p.m., we have added a Saturday morning Shabbat service starting at 10 a.m. Cantor Alisa Forman will chant from the weekly Torah portion. The congregation will have time to chat with each other. We will continue bringing people together, even if they are at home, until we can meet in person once again. Beth Sho-lom decided that due to the current situation with COVID-19, we will wait four weeks and then read-dress meeting in person in our sanctuary. All other online sessions have been canceled for now.

Doug Alexander at the same time was getting trucks from Farm Share and still is today. It was fantastic for whole trucks and mostly fresh enough to get to the tables, but we still struggled to feed peo-ple on a daily basis.

It was a little while after this Diane told us of a donated piece of prop-erty on Cardinal in Homo-sassa and she wanted to build some buildings, one for her and one where we could finally build our own food bank. She and I met with John Marmish, the director of United Way at this time, and started to brainstorm if this idea would work.

From my point of view, if it did not work, they could liquidate the build-ings, but the agencies had nothing to lose. Some of the most generous hearts and hardest workers in our county collaborated with a capital campaign and built the two build-ings we now have as the Citrus County Food bank and We Care food pantry.

I cannot tell you from

an agency’s point of view what a pleasure it is to now work with our food bank. Many of the night-marish incidents are an-cient history and I would venture to say, we are a little spoiled because of the hard work and profes-sionality of the people who raise the operating funds and the people who run the day to day operations.

Some of you are proba-bly aware of the needs of our poorest in our county and why so many agencies felt the need to help our neighbors with food. The food bank is delivering food to about 50 agencies who feed our poorest in one form or another.

Please remember this was a big gamble for the original funders to make this work and now the re-sults are spectacular! In fact, if you talk to the cur-rent executive director, Barbara Sprague, they are out of room and look-ing for more space.

The location is also awkward because of where the land is located on Cardinal and they have to serve all of Citrus County. Even though this location is awkward for the agencies’ feeding, it

has turned out to be a blessing because it will be near the Suncoast Park-way extension where the big trucks can deliver from the south of us.

This food bank stretches our donated dol-lars from 4 to 10 times what we would normally have to spend, and I will let you do the math for the other 50 agencies. I hope you see the impor-tance of the groundwork which has been done to get a food bank in Citrus County. Let’s find a way to work together.

SALT LAKE CITY — The white shirts and ties that have long been the signature outfit for young men serving missions for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will no longer be the only outfit choice under a dress code change an-nounced Friday.

Some men will now be able to wear blue dress shirts and no ties during faith outreach missions for the Utah-based church. While many will still wear white shirts and ties, regional leaders now have the option to allow the new attire if it helps “safety, effectiveness, ap-proachability and cultural sensitivity” for missionar-ies in their areas of the world, church officials said in a news release.

It marks the church’s latest step in recent years

to modernize a mission-ary program that is con-sidered a rite of passage for young members. Last year, leaders in the faith known widely as the Mor-mon church changed their rules to allow mis-sionaries to call home every week instead of only twice a year.

Nearly two years ago, female missionaries got the option to wear dress slacks, instead of only skirts and dresses. That was designed to help women stay warm in cold climates and make it eas-ier to ride bicycles.

“Missionary attire has regularly adapted over time according to loca-tion, style and custom,” said Dieter F. Uchtdorf, a member of a top govern-ing body called the Quo-rum of the Twelve Apostles and chairman of the Missionary Executive Council. “These excep-tions are a continuation of

that process.”Church spokesman

Daniel Woodruff said the most recent change was under consideration for some time.

The church has kept its missionary program going during the coronavirus pandemic. It brought home more than 26,000 young men and women from foreign missions and sent some of them out again in their home coun-tries to do most of their faith outreach online.

The tech shift began with church leaders giv-ing some missionaries tablets in 2014. That has since led to most young church members getting smartphones to use in their faith outreach. Two years before that, the church changed their rules to allow men to start missions at 18 instead of 19, and women at 19 in-stead of 21, which has led to more women serving.

Special to the Chronicle

Bob and Gail Granger have been to-gether for 59 years and were recently announced as the Knights of Columbus Family of the Month. They met in New York.

Gail was born and raised in the Ad-irondack village of Saranac Lake, New York. Bob comes from the small town of Lewis Run, Pennsylvania, just over the border of New York.

They finished college, got married and settled in Glens Falls, New York, then moved to Auburn in central New York state.

Three children were born; Bobby, founder and president of Red Star Construction, Mt. Dora; David, founder and president of 3D Design Group, Val-rico; and Leslie, married to David Fidler, ARNP with TeamHealth, Tampa.

Their fourth child is “fur baby” Darla Jean.

While in Auburn, Bob worked at the National Bank of Auburn as a Com-mercial Loan Officer and Vice Presi-dent. He became President of the local Industrial Management Club and also was its NYS Representative.

He and Gail were both active in the Auburn Jaycees with Bob serving as local President and Gail helping form a Jaycee auxiliary organization. Bob was named one of the Ten Outstanding Men in New York and also became a Junior Chamber International Senator.

The Granger family moved to Crystal River in 1984, beginning Bob’s Florida banking career at Citizens Bank and eventually moving to First Florida and Barnett Banks as mergers took place. He retired in 2000.

Gail joined the Christian Women’s Club shortly after arriving in the county. She joined the Pilot Club of Crystal River and later helped charter the Gulf-to-Lakes Pilot Club.

This is her 30th year in Pilot, serving as President three different years. Gail retired from Century 21 Nature Coast Real Estate in 2015.

Bob became a Charter Member of the King’s Bay Rotary Club and be-came President in 1999. He chaired the Kids Christmas Shopping Spree for five years and has volunteered at the Rotary’s annual Stone Crab Jam since its inception. Bob and Gail are

recipients of the Paul Harris Fellows by Rotary International.

At St. Benedict’s Church, Bob is a Charter Member of Knights Council 15225, serving as Chairman of the Toot-sie Roll fundraiser for the Develop-mentally Disabled for two years. He also serves as a church usher.

Gail has been president of the par-ish’s Community of Catholic Women for two years and serves as the group’s Vice President. In 2015, she was named St. Benedict’s Valentine Sweetheart.

Gail now serves as president of Mended Hearts of Citrus County, a car-diovascular patient support group sponsored by Citrus Memorial Hospital.

The Granger family has grown with the addition of four grandchildren: Shaun, a Junior at the University of Florida; Nicole, a Sophomore at Uni-versity of Central Florida; Anabel, graduating from Montverde Academy and entering the University of Florida in the fall; Ryan, a Freshman at Bloom-indale High School, Brandon.

Bob and Gail shared that they feel blessed to live in Citrus County and enjoy boating, camping and attending FSU football games. They are honored to be recipients of the recognition be-stowed by the Knights of Columbus.

In his play “Artist Descending a Staircase,” Tom Stoppard wrote, “Skill without imagina-tion is craftsmanship and gives us many useful objects such as wickerwork picnic baskets. Imagination without skill gives us modern art.”

How does this apply to bridge players? The best partnerships are usually those with one player who has skill without

imagination and a second who has skill with imagination.

This pair will be tough to defeat.

Pietro Forquet and Benito Ga-rozzo, mainstays of the Italian Blue Team, fit the bill.

In this deal, Garozzo was sit-ting East, aided by the fact that it was a pairs tournament where overtricks were so important.

South was in six hearts. After winning the first trick with dum-my’s diamond ace, declarer was tempted to run the heart jack. But if it won, what then? A heart to the queen would be fatal if West suddenly produced the king and cashed the diamond queen.

Perhaps South should have played a club to the queen for an immediate diamond ruff, but that wasn’t without risk.

At the table, South led a low trump from the board. Garozzo played his king! Taking this card at face value, South saw an over-trick in his future.

After winning with the ace, he led a heart to dummy’s jack and played a club toward his hand. Disaster! Garozzo ruffed and led a diamond to his partner’s queen for down one.

Isn’t that the most imaginative defense you ever saw?

BESTTONIGHT’S

8 p.m. on (HBO)

Movie: Ford v FerrariJames Mangold’s 2019 sports drama emerged as one of that year’s winners from every perspective, earning big bucks at the global box office, cheers from critics and multiple ac-colades, including an Oscar nomination as best picture and wins in two editing categories. Matt Damon and Christian Bale

head the cast as, respectively, automotive designer Carroll Shelby and British driver Ken Miles, leaders of an American team determined to build a new racing car that can break the Ferrari winning streak at Le Mans. Jon Bernthal also stars.

8 p.m. on (LIFE)

Movie: Birthmother’s Betrayal

At 16, Tara discovers the name of her birth mother, Grace, on a DNA website and reaches out to the older woman. In short order, Grace comes crashing into the life of the daughter she gave up years ago, much to the consternation of Amy, who subsequently adopted Tara and gave her a stable home. “Sta-ble,” however, is the last word to describe Grace, who has both a needy love for Tara and a poisonous resentment toward Amy. Tanya Clarke, Aria Pull-man, Monica Rose Betz and Matthew Pohlkamp star.

8 p.m. on (OWN)

Love & Marriage: HuntsvilleThe hit unscripted series about the lives of three influential

North Alabama couples returns with the first in a series of “couples specials” spotlighting the featured relationships on the show. First up, Melody and Martell Holt open up to give viewers the inside scoop on some of the behind-the-scenes events in Season 1. Among their topics are their pregnancy, his surgery, that notorious yacht fight and a preview of some events coming up in Season 2.

9 p.m. on (HALL)

Movie: Love Under the Olive Tree

Nicole Cabella (Tori Anderson) yearns to expand her family’s Northern California olive oil business, until her childhood crush, Jake Brandini (Benja-min Hollingsworth) — who also happens to be the heir apparent to a neighboring ranch — quite by accident discovers that his family owns the land Nicole wants to incorporate. Long-standing bad blood be-tween the two families further complicates things, until a judge proposes awarding the property to whichever of the pair wins an upcoming olive oil

competition. Gardiner Millar co-stars in this 2019 romance.

10 p.m. on (OWN)

Girlfriends Check InThe Season 1 finale of this informal chat fest finds actress Tisha Campbell (“Last Man Standing”) sitting down with gal pals Kym Whitley, Holly Robinson Peete and A.J. John-son (“House Party”) to dish on a variety of subjects including raising a family, learning to love yourself, dating and, of course, the mysteries of men. It adds up to a funny girls’ night in.

10 p.m. on (TRAV)

Terror in the WoodsThe new episode “It Was Just Like a Nightmare and We’re Not Gonna Make It Out” deliv-ers more first-person accounts of wilderness outings cut short by an unwanted brush with the spirit realm. The past comes back to haunt a group of Civil War re-enactors in the Virginia woods, while in another seg-ment, two brothers encounter an aggressive Bigfoot while ex-ploring an abandoned building in the Iowa wilderness.

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

Dear Annie: I was given up for adoption at four months old and was ad-

opted by my maternal grand-parents. I was raised as an only child, even though I knew who my siblings were and saw them regularly. My biological mother sowed seeds of hatred and division between my sib-lings and myself at every opportu-nity.

U p o n h e r death, we found out that she h a d cashed in her life i n s u r -ance poli-cies and had no cemetery plot. Now, mind you, I ceased having a relationship with this lady for the last 20 years of her life.

While making the funeral arrangements, I agreed to help my siblings by giving them one of my own burial plots with the understanding that they must pay for the opening and clos-ing and the vault. We all agreed to borrow the money for the funeral, and we all signed the loan. My brother agreed to bor-row the money for the opening and closing separately. Two days prior to the funeral, he informed me that he did not get the loan. I agreed to pay for it with the stipulation that they would reimburse me.

I found out a month after the funeral that he did, in fact, get the loan and blew the money partying. I confronted him about it, and he was irate that I’d even asked him about it. And in reference to the loan for the funeral, my siblings made just two payments of their share and never brought it up again.

So, my wife and I spent $8,000 of our savings and paid the loan off. I advised them at the next family get-together that I was not going to bury anybody else, and they needed to make sure that they had their affairs in order.

They have said on numerous occasions that I should have taken care of everything be-cause I had a better job and made the most money. I was made out to be the bad guy be-cause I refused.

Now, their big project is to purchase her a headstone. and they want me to help pay for it. I have told them no on numer-ous occasions, but my sister brings it up whenever she calls. My wife and I are both retired and are unable to shell out money like we use to. I’m tired and frustrated by all of this. What more can I say or do? — Frustrated Sibling

Dear Frustrated: It’s not about what you can do; it’s about what you can’t do. You can’t keep caving to your sib-lings’ will and shelling out money. You’ve done the right thing in drawing this line. As relationship coach Jenna Korf says, “If someone gets angry with you for setting a bound-ary, consider that a good sign that the boundary was neces-sary.” Stand your ground. And consider attending a support group such as Families Anony-mous, which can help you lov-ingly detach from toxic behavior in your family.

Know that sometimes peo-ple are intent on holding a grudge, and there’s nothing you can say to loosen their grip. That’s too bad for them, as they’re the ones carrying the weight.

Dear Annie: In response to the challenge from a senior citizen earlier who suggested people donate any unneeded stimulus checks to those who are in need: challenge ac-cepted and completed! Hope-fully, many others take up the challenge. — Two Very Thank-ful Kona Seniors

Dear Thankful: That is won-derful to hear. There are so many worthy causes in need of financial support: from food banks, to shelters, to sui-cide-prevention crisis centers, which have seen an increase in calls during the quarantine. Thanks for writing in and fur-ther promoting the charitable challenge.
