Trio running for District 2 seatBuster thompson

Staff writer

A 20-year Citrus County School Board member and two new candidates hoping to bring a fresh perspective to

local education came together on their campaign trails to win over voters.

Incumbent Ginger Bryant met with challengers Danielle Damato Doty and Mark Gar-lock Tuesday, July 7, 2020, on the stage of the Citrus County Arts Center for the Chronicle’s political forum.

While they covered a variety of topics for the school board’s district 2 seat — from improv-ing graduation rates for Black students, to needing a school district police force — the can-didates focused their debate on the pros and cons of experi-ence versus a need for change.

Here are the highlights from the forum:

Bryant, a local teacher of 25 years before she was elected to her first term on the board in 2000, asked constituents to continue supporting her lead-ership in a successful school district.

servant,” she said. “I know this com-munity, I know what’s best for our children.”

Bryant said her priorities, if elected again, will focus on mental health care for students and staff im-pacted by the coronavirus pandemic.

Doty, a Lecanto High alumna and daughter of former county commissioner Dennis Damato, said her family has deep r o o t s i n t h e community.

While not a teacher, Doty said her varied background working in private and public

sectors of education and family- advocacy — as a community relations director for the College of Central Florida, and as a representative for Kids Central Inc. — will benefit the school board.

“My relevant work experience will bring a brand new dynamic to the school board,” she said. “The board has plenty of education experience. The board should be more represen-tative of our community and reflect a verity of professional experiences.”

If elected, Doty said she wanted to work with the county’s commission-ers and building industry to raise af-fordable housing for teachers and first responders to help with staff retention.

She also pledged to serve no more than two, four-year terms on the school board.

“20 years is a long time be in the same position,” Doty said, referring to Bryant’s tenure. “Change is good for many reasons.”

Garlock, who’s taught music for 25 years at local schools and most recently at Crystal River High, said his goal is to improve each facet of the school sys-tem by 10%.

“I bring a well- balanced perspective, and I know I can help

the board with fresh ideas,” he said. “I’d like to see us become one of the top five districts in the state; we can’t sit on our laurels.”

Garlock said he can also save the school district around $1 million in its budget. He also wants to stop students learning under longterm substitute educators by connecting their class-room virtually to another class learn-ing the similar subject from a teacher.

“We could patch in and concurrently

teach — from another school — the same exact class,” he said. “At least they’re getting an education.”

Candidates were asked how they’d improve graduation rates for Black students, of whom 70% complete high school compared to 86% of White students.

While a family’s socio-economic sit-uation affects a child’s ability to study, Garlock said, the school district should work to advocate the impor-tance of student literacy, and spur awareness of programs providing free books.

“Students need to be read to at home, not just at school,” he said. “In some cases, homes in some of our im-poverished areas in the county just don’t have books to be read.”

Doty said she wants the district to do a more thorough job of targeting and reaching out to parents of strug-gling students.

“To help (parents) understand where their child might be lacking,” she said.

Bryant said students need to have more mentors in their lives to supple-

ment teachers.“They need their

community to come in and help them,” she said.

Asked what they thought about taxpay-ers paying for both sheriff ’s office depu-ties (school resource officers, or SROs) and

school district guardians to patrol campuses, the candidates’ responses varied.

Bryant said the school district needs more protection against armed assail-ants and adding experienced guard-ians working alongside deputies is how to do it.

As a teacher, Garlock said he felt safer with guardians on campus but questioned how the district can con-tinue funding them without state money from the Coach Aaron Feis Guardian Program, which Gov. Ron DeSantis reappropriated in June 2020.

“I believe we can drop back to just having SROs again,” he said, “Simply because I don’t think the program is going to be funded.”

Money from the Aaron Feis program is used by sheriff ’s offices to screen and train guardian recruits before the school district hires them. It’s not used to pay for salaries or benefits.

Doty said taxpayers should be wary of programs duplicating efforts, but added guardians and SROs compli-ment each other well in covering school grounds.

“More, not less, is definitely bet-ter,” she said. “You never know when something can happen.”

Local hospitals update surgery

policies Citrus Memorial Hospital

and Oak Hill Hospital, mem-bers of the HCA Healthcare West Florida Division, will delay certain inpatient sur-geries and procedures, ef-fective Saturday, July 11.

The move is to free up capacity for COVID-19 pa-tients. This change does not affect hospital-based outpatient surgeries or pro-cedures, nor those per-formed at HCA Healthcare Ambulatory Surgery Centers.

The hospitals are work-ing with surgeons to identify appropriate patients for postponement of proce-dures that typically require a post-surgical inpatient stay. Patients whose proce-dures will be delayed will be contacted by their surgeon.

At this time Bayfront Health Seven Rivers will continue to offer outpatient surgeries and elective procedures.

According to a press statement, numerous pre-cautions for infection pre-vention, access control, social distancing and pa-tient flow are in place to maintain a safe environ-ment of care. All patients scheduling surgery or other invasive procedures are tested for COVID-19 in ad-vance of the procedure. Ev-eryone who enters the building, including staff, is screened, and all employ-ees, physicians and pa-tients are required to wear masks. Cleaning and disin-fection of frequently touched surfaces and care-giving spaces has been in-tensified. They are continuing to closely moni-tor the situation within the hospital and the community.

Wilton Simpson, the incoming Senate president, who has decades of professional experience in environmental cleanup to consider a panoply of mitigation measures to protect visitors, lawmakers and staff members entering the Capitol during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sen. Simpson talks COVID-19

Dara KamThe News Service of Florida

TALLAHASSEE — Face masks, tem-perature checks and alternating commit-tee weeks are among the options state leaders are pondering as they prepare for the 2021 legislative session and meetings that kick off in November.

While the numbers of COVID-19 cases in Florida continue to soar this summer, the future of the pandemic remains unknown.

The uncertainty is forcing incoming Senate President Wilton Simpson, who has decades of professional experience in environmental cleanup, to consider a panoply of mitigation measures to protect visitors, lawmakers and staff members en-tering the Capitol.

“We’re going to use science to determine ingress and egress from that building. Pol-itics is going to have nothing to do with it, in my book,” Simpson, a Trilby Republican slated to take over as Senate president fol-lowing the Nov. 3 elections, told The News Service of Florida on Thursday.

The Capitol has been closed to the pub-lic since March, when widespread shut-downs aimed at stemming the spread of the novel coronavirus began. Legislative staff members and executive-branch aides have had access to the building, and reporters have been allowed inside to cover Gov. Ron DeSantis’ press briefings.

The 2021 legislative session will start March 2, but lawmakers will return to the Capitol in November for an organization session after the general election. The House and Senate then are expected to hold a series of weeks of committee meet-ings leading up the session’s start.

Simpson said he’s relying on his experi-ence with asbestos and mold removal as he considers respiratory protective mea-sures to avert the spread of the highly

contagious coronavirus, which causes the respiratory disease known as COVID-19.

The virus is spread through close con-tact between people and through respira-tory droplets produced when infected people cough or sneeze, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“My brain immediately always thinks of being risk-averse and safety,” he said. “I have a background in this, and we’re going to do things as best as humans can do to keep everybody in that building safe.”

But incoming House Speaker Chris Sprowls, a Palm Harbor Republican who will become speaker in November, said in a text message Thursday that it is “a little premature right now to discuss plans, and obviously it is not just the decision of the House to decide how to address the health and safety of employees and visitors to the Florida House and the state Capitol.”

Because President Donald Trump shuns their use, face masks — recom-mended by health officials worldwide — have become a political flashpoint. Trump’s supporters have rebuked state and local officials’ mandates requiring the use of face coverings.

In Leon County, where the Capitol is lo-cated, the head of the local Republican Party has filed a lawsuit against a face-mask mandate approved by county com-missioners. State Rep. Anthony Sabatini, a Howey-in-the-Hills Republican who is a lawyer, is representing local GOP Chair-man Evan Power in the lawsuit.

But Simpson said visitors to the Capitol might be required to wear face coverings if the COVID-19 situation has not improved.

“I see nothing political about wearing a mask. Zero. Because when people are wearing masks, they’re being responsible for themselves and they’re being respon-sible for the people they’re going to come

into contact with in the same breathing space,” he said.

With so much uncertainty about the pandemic’s future, “we’re going to try to create a protocol that has some flexibil-ity,” Simpson said, adding that a coronavi-rus vaccine could be available by November.

“That would be the best thing that could happen,” he said.

Simpson said he is considering requir-ing face masks, performing temperature checks when people enter buildings, blocking off seating in committee rooms and alternating committee weeks with the Florida House. The two chambers typi-cally hold meetings in Tallahassee during the same weeks leading up to the legisla-tive session.

“Under current conditions today, I’m not sure why we wouldn’t have all of the above requirements,” he said.

The situation with the pandemic is evolving, noted Simpson, who said he wears a face mask when he leaves home and checks his temperature several times daily. For example, instant COVID-19 tests might be available later this year, he said.

In the meantime, “we are taking this very seriously,” he said.

“We have to prepare for a major poten-tial wave in November. And even though we would have better therapy and medi-cines, and even though science will be in a much better place four months from now, you still have to be prepared for hav-ing to be isolated and having to be protec-tive,” Simpson said.

Leaders have to prepare for “what would be the worst-case scenario, which will mean the most safety protocols in place,” while also considering that proto-cols could change as medicines become available and technology develops, he said.

“We have to be prepared for all of those,” Simpson added. “If we prepare for it, then we’ll be able to manage that sys-tem, if it were to come about.”

After an early evening fight came to an end, an 18-year-old Beverly Hills man fired off a se-ries of parting shots Tuesday, July 7, 2020, at Water Tower Park in Beverly Hills.

Alex Muniz-Rodriguez faces three charges of ag-gravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill after depu-ties arrested him follow-ing the incident. His bond was set at $6,000.

According to a Citrus County Sheriff ’s Office arrest affidavit, deputies were dispatched to Water Tower Park at 4 Laurenshire St., where Deputy Mike Anger spoke with three victims who identified Muniz-Rodriguez as the shooter. The victims told Anger the defen-dant fired two to three shots di-rectly at them as they were leaving the park.

The witnesses told deputies they had gone to the park to fight with Muniz-Rodriguez’ girlfriend. Once they were done fighting, the three people were walking to-ward their car when one witness saw the defendant pull a firearm from his pocket, firing two to three shots at them.

One witness saw dirt being

kicked up near their vehicle as Muniz-Rodriguez was shooting at them.

After speaking with the wit-nesses, Deputy Robaldo Ramos contacted Muniz-Rodriguez’s girl-friend in Crystal River. She told him after she was done fighting, she and Muniz-Rodriguez began

walking back to each oth-er’s cars when she heard gun shots. It was then, the report stated, she ran to-ward her vehicle.

According to the re-port, she heard Muniz- Rodriguez yelling, “You doing that, you really doing that?” She told Ramos that once she and

Muniz-Rodriguez got into her car, that the other eyewitnesses were shooting at them.

She advised the deputy she did not see who was shooting because she had her back turned toward them.

When asked if Muniz- Rodriguez had a gun, she told the deputy, “yes.” She did not know what Muniz-Rodriguez did with it.

The deputies’ interview with Muniz-Rodriguez was redacted from the report, but he had agreed to speak with them post Miranda. After the interview, Muniz-Rodriguez was transported to the Citrus County Detention Facility.

Families have more time to enroll their children with the Citrus County School District.

July 17, 2020, is the new dead-line for students to be registered in either the district’s brick-and-mortar school system or Citrus Virtual School.

Before, student families had until July 11 to register, but the Florida Department of Educa-tion (FDOE) allowed for an extension.

“We understand this is a diffi-cult decision for families and some are frustrated with the timeline,” a school district news release read. “However, in order to meet the needs of all students and staff, we must have this in-formation to properly plan for opening our schools on Aug. 10.”

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, FDOE Commissioner Richard Corcoran ordered Florida’s pub-lic schools to reopen in August,

and gave schools districts until July 31 to submit their reopening plans.

To enroll with Citrus County schools, visit tinyurl.com/y9b8sdgb.

Questions can be asked by con-tacting the school a student is zoned for during regular busi-ness hours, Monday through Thursday. To look up a child’s school zone, visit tinyurl.com/y9sphxa7 or call 352-746-3960.

Answers about the district’s return-to-school options can be found by visiting tinyurl.com/y8poj8eu.

Citrus Virtual School is a fran-chise of the Florida Virtual School with state-standard cur-riculum taught online by local teachers with help from parents acting as “learning coaches.”

If learning at a traditional school, students will have re-duced physical interactions and frequent hand-washing breaks. They’ll also be recommended to wear a mask or cloth-covering.

Today’s HOROSCOPES

Today is Friday, July 10, the 192nd day of 2020. There are 174 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight: On July 10, 1940, during World

War II, the Battle of Britain began as the Luftwaffe started attacking southern England. (The Royal Air Force was ultimately victorious.)

On this date: In 1919, President Woodrow Wil-

son personally delivered the Treaty of Versailles to the Senate and urged its ratification. (However, the Senate rejected it.)

In 1973, the Bahamas became fully independent after three centu-ries of British colonial rule.

In 2002, The House approved, 310-113, a measure to allow airline pilots to carry guns in the cockpit to defend their planes against terror-ists (President George W. Bush later signed the measure into law).

In 2018, a daring rescue mission in Thailand was completed suc-cessfully, as the last four of the 12 boys who were trapped in a flooded cave for more than two weeks were brought to safety along with their soccer coach; the other eight had been brought out in the two preceding days.

Ten years ago: Grammy-winning country singer Carrie Underwood married NHL player Mike Fisher at a resort in Greensboro, Georgia.

Five years ago: To the cheers of thousands, South Carolina pulled the Confederate flag from its place of honor at the Statehouse after more than 50 years.

One year ago: Britain’s ambas-sador to the United States, Kim Darroch, resigned following the leak of diplomatic cables that reflected his unflattering opinions about the Trump administration.

Disney World reopensORLANDO — Forget about

up-close “meet-and-greet” ses-sions with Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck when Walt Disney World parks reopen. There will be no firework shows or parades — those would draw too many people together — and both visi-tors and employees will be get-ting temperature checks when they enter.

Despite a huge surge of Florid-ians testing positive for the new coronavirus in recent weeks, two of Disney World’s four parks are reopening Saturday. When they do, visitors to “The Most Magical Place on Earth” will find new rules in place.

Everyone has to wear a mask and maintain social distance. No hopping between parks is al-lowed, for the time being, and visitors will need reservations to enter. Disney employees won’t be allowed to take photos of visi-tors in front of Cinderella’s Cas-tle since it involves touching the tourists’ cameras.

Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom will reopen on July 11. Disney World’s other two parks, Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, will welcome back guests four days later. All of the parks closed in mid-March in an effort to stop the virus’s spread. Disney World’s crosstown rivals, Universal Orlando and SeaWorld Orlando, also closed in March but have been back open for several weeks after instituting similar rules to protect employees and customers from the virus.

Disney has been opening back up its parks around the globe for the past two months. In May, the company opened Dis-ney Springs, a complex of

shops, restaurants and enter-tainment venues in Lake Buena Vista. Only Disneyland in Califor-nia delayed its plans to reopen in mid-July, saying it was awaiting guidelines from the state.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said earlier this week that he be-lieve Disney is well-prepared for the reopening.

“I have no doubt it is going to be a safe environment,“ DeSantis said. “I am really impressed with what Universal has done and I have looked at Disney’s plan and it is very, very thorough.”

Disney spokeswoman Andrea M. Finger said in a statement Wednesday that the company is “moving forward carefully and methodically.” She said seven unions representing thousands of staff have signed agreements to return to work.

Because of the limits on atten-dance, new ticket sales and hotel reservations are temporar-ily on hold so that people already with tickets and reservations get first dibs.

Disney World workers have been at the parks already for sev-eral weeks, going over hygiene protocols to stop the spread of the virus, sanitizing handrails and consoles and reviewing other changes such as new break rooms that now only accommo-date four people at at time.

In addition to a thermometer, workers were given three face masks and a plastic face shield, equipment that made it difficult for some of them to recognize their colleagues without checking their name tags, said Hollywood Stu-dios worker Scott Dudas.

In a Facebook discussion with colleagues, Dudas said he was reassured by the face shields, which can be used when a worker needs to get in close contact with guests, such as making sure children are the proper height for rides.

“I think from a safety aspect, everyone should be on board to feel comfortable with everything in place,“ Dudas said. “I feel super safe.”

local gastroenterologist Dr. Paul Hellstern, and is loaded with such amenities as a home theater, gymna-sium and game room (with bar, of course).

The five-bedroom mansion also has a massage room, gourmet kitchen (with heated floors), living and family rooms with fireplaces and waterfront views.

The master bedroom has a sitting area with a pri-vate balcony, tiled patio, heated pool and spa. The private back yard as a dock and two boat lifts.

The property was listed by Jim Henkel of Premier Sotheby’s International Realty’s Clearwater office. The buyer was RSJ Real Estate, LLC.

According to MLS sales in Crystal River dating as far back as Jan. 1, 2015, only two homes have sold over $1 million; one in Sept. 2016 for $1.3 million and an-other in April 2019 for $1.132 million.

“Having listed and sold the most expensive prop-erty in Crystal River is a positive sign that real estate is making a strong recovery in the area,” said Jim Henkel, with Premier Sotheby’s International Realty. ”Even during these uncertain times, luxury buyers are still looking for exceptional properties and deals are being made.”

Kevin Cunningham, broker-owner of RE/MAX Re-alty One, said the sale of the home shows there is a market for luxury homes in Citrus County.

But given the Florida realtors May numbers, there is also a market for homes in more modest-priced brackets.

The median sales price for single-family homes in May was $179,900, up about 5.8% from $169,900 one year earlier, according to Florida Realtors. The me-dian is the midpoint; half the homes sold for more, half for less.

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in 200 homes being taken off the market in May because sellers didn’t want others coming into their homes, Cunning-ham said.

That contributed to a lack of inventory that month and boosted prices. With fewer homes available, sell-ers’ got their asking price.

Citrus County in May had a 2.9 month-supply of in-ventory of homes for sale, down 31% from last year.

The benchmark for a balanced market (favoring neither seller or buyer) is typically 5.5 months; any-thing higher than that is traditionally called a buyer’s market. Anything lower favors the sellers.

Even with the virus, pending sales are up 10% over the year and people still want to move to Citrus County, he said.

“It speaks to our area and the beauty of our area,” Cunningham said.

Himmel, who was a school teacher and board member before her first superintendent term in 2004, touted the school district’s graduation rate increasing 28% to 86% under her leadership.

She also praised Withlacoochee Technical College and the dis-trict’s International Baccalaure-ate Program for being top five in Florida.

Himmel reminded viewers the district has “faced many chal-lenges,” including the 2008 recession.

“We worked with our school and union to avoid furloughs while other districts across the state had to fire their staffs,” she said.

Himmel also credited her staff for creating a comprehensive plan on short notice for students to learn at a distance and be fed when the coronavirus shuttered campuses in March 2020.

Reinhardt in his opening state-ment came out swinging at Him-mel, claiming the incumbent is cozy with the “established elites” of state education and hushes em-ployees who speak out against her.

“She’s a favorite of the estab-lishment, I’m a favorite of the peo-ple,” he said. “Since 2004, she’s had a ‘shake-them-up, shut-them-up’ management style.”

Reinhardt said Himmel’s expe-rience “has been pushing our kids into bad policies” in educational standards, like Common Core, which Gov. Ron DeSantis strove to remove in 2019.

Himmel fired back, saying Rein-hardt is unaware of the many legal and financial constraints school districts have to overcome and operate within.

“Probably 90% of what he says — probably 100% of what he says — we are bound by laws and bud-gets and things we already do that he’s not aware of,” she said.

Reinhardt also criticized the timing of Himmel’s award as Flor-ida’s top school superintendent, which she won in December 2019 after Reinhardt prequalified for the race in January 2019.

“Whenever she gets an oppo-nent, the establishment gives her an award,” he said.

Reinhardt accused Himmel and the district of inflating grades by rewarding “students that don’t do a thing” and spoon-feeding them standardized education.

“Kids sit in front of a computer until they pass exams,” he said. “All this and more to make her look good with graduation rates.”

School safety has been in-creased, Himmel said, with the district’s expansion of school re-source officers and additional hir-ing of eight armed school guardians.

“Being superintendent of schools is not only about the aca-demics, it’s about meeting the needs of all kids,” Himmel said, “and we need to be the safe haven for them.”

Reinhardt said the guardians “are soft targets” in schools, lack in experience and should be screened by law enforcement beforehand.

According to the Florida De-partment of Education, sheriff ’s offices have been mandated by law to put guardians through background checks and train them for 144 hours before they’re hired by a school district to patrol campuses.

Reinhardt is for using corporal punishment to discipline stu-dents, “but not as a first step,” adding he’d hire a districtwide “dean of discipline” to work with parents to make sure children won’t be too troubled by paddling.

Himmel said she doesn’t want to put her staff in a position to paddle students, adding there are programs, deans and social workers in place to discipline and help students without

traumatizing them.When students return to school

Aug. 10 the midst of COVID-19, Himmel said, they’ll be assessed first thing to gauge learning gaps caused by the virus’ closure of schools in March.

Himmel said more health safe-guards and plans are being put into place to accommodate stu-dents who want learn at a brick-and-mortar school or online at Citrus Virtual School.

Reinhardt said he’d like stu-dents to have access to both on-line and physical classrooms, like he did while teaching at the Col-lege of Central Florida.

Himmel said her staff is crafting a hybrid teaching model.

When asked about the largest budget and staff he’s overseen, Reinhardt said he was executive director of the National Academy of Homeopathic Medicine and its 4,000 members, and also managed “a very large budget” for the Acu-puncture and Oriental Medicine National Coalition.

The Citrus County School Dis-trict operates with a budget of roughly $200 million and employ-ees over 2,000 people, making it the largest employer in the county.

In closing, Reinhardt said he wants to instill “American-focused education,” encourage dual- enrollment, get students involved with their governments and keep them from disrespecting the na-tion’s history.

“We have to restore patriotism in the schools,” he said.

Himmel said her students’ scores on Florida’s standard so-cial studies tests — to include U.S. history and civics — outperformed state averages.

She also said the number of stu-dents earning college credit jumped 46% during her tenure as superintendent.

“With my proven leadership in this district,” she said, “We will continue to move forward and we’ll continue to soar to new heights.”

Associated Press

TA L L A H A S S E E — Florida marked another grim COVID-19 milestone Thursday when health of-ficials reported 120 new deaths from the coronavi-rus — the highest one-day jump yet amid a surge in new infections that con-tinues to befuddle the state’s attempts to contain the outbreak.

The number of deaths was the highest since the 113 reported in early May. The cumulative death toll has now surpassed 4,000 as confirmed cases climbed by nearly 9,000 to more than 229,000.

The state also reported on Thursday the biggest 24-hour jump in hospital-izations, with 409 patients being admitted.

Intensive care units are quickly filling up includ-ing in some hospitals with the largest bed capacity such as the University of Florida Health Shands Hospital in Gainesville and Tampa General Hospital.

Data from the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration shows statewide about 14% of the total ICU beds were available Thursday.

Dr. Elizabeth Ransom, chief physician executive at Baptist Health in Jack-sonville, said hospitals are on high alert and pre-paring to bring in tempo-rary staff, anticipating the numbers will rise.

“We worry if we’re going to see a bump from the recent Fourth of July weekend,” she said.

On Thursday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ac-knowledged the rising positivity rate in tests, but said “there was no need to be panicked.”

“You do have more transmission circulating around the community over the last month, three weeks, than we did at the end of April, all through May, beginning of June,” DeSantis said.

The governor did not ad-dress the record rise in deaths, but said the state dispatched 100 nurses to Tampa after announcing earlier this week that 100 nurses would be sent to Miami to deal with rising COVID-19 hospitalizations.

The uncertainty over the state’s ability to con-tain the outbreak is

undermining efforts to steady a fragile economy.

“At the end of the day, we need our society to function. We need our so-ciety to continue to move forward,” DeSantis said.

Two of Disney World’s four parks are expected to reopen Saturday, but Bank of America earlier this week shuttered doz-ens of its branches in cen-tral and South Florida. In the Florida Keys, a popu-lar community festival that draws 75,000 people was canceled. Fantasy Fest was set to take place in October.

While the number of new jobless claims in Florida again fell — dip-ping by 67,070 last week, according to federal data — there were fresh wor-ries that the ranks of the unemployed could again swell as restaurants and other establishments re-close to stave off new infections.

Hundreds of thousands of jobless Floridians could face deepening fi-nancial turmoil as their unemployment benefits run out.

Scott King filed for un-employment near the end of March, waiting two months before he re-ceived any money from Florida’s besieged unem-ployment system. He ran his own pet grooming business, but has been out of work, depleted his sav-ings and now may be sick with the virus.

“I have just been apply-ing for anything and every-thing that’s out there,” said King, who came down with flu-like symptoms last week and is now waiting for COVID-19 test results. “It’s very discouraging.”

Since mid-March, more than 2.3 million Floridi-ans have sought unem-ployment benefits from the state’s Department of Economic Opportunity.

The department said it has paid out about $9 bil-lion in benefits on nearly 1.7 million processed claims, according to the state’s unemployment dashboard.

After moving to reopen the state’s economy, De-Santis has refrained from requiring Floridians to use face masks statewide and left it to localities to decide if closures and other stricter measures are warranted.

The majority of Flori-da’s roughly 229,000 cases of COVID-19 have been concentrated in Florida’s most populous regions, with South Florida re-maining the hot spot.

The surge in hospital-izations in certain areas has spawned pleas for Floridians to wear masks and maintain social dis-tancing and prompted local officials to retrench.

As of Thursday, restau-rants in Miami-Dade County won’t be allowed to serve patrons indoors. Mayor Carlos Gimenez al-lowed gyms to remain open to customers who wear masks.

Bradley Kilgore, the chef and owner of the Kil-gore Culinary Group, said he has had to close five of his restaurants and laid off more than 100 employees.

In a news conference Thursday, Kilgore joined others from the restau-rant industry to push for a $120 billion federal bail-out package to offset losses. The National Restaurant Association said more than 8 million workers have become un-employed because of the virus.

“It will be extremely difficult, as it already is, to look these people in their eyes,” he said, “and let them know that they don’t have a job anymore and we don’t have any answers.”

FRESHWATERWITHLACOOCHEE/

RAINBOW RIVERS/LAKE ROUSSEAU — Captain Bob Jewett out of Angler’s Resort in Dunnel-lon reports nice, big, fat bluegill being caught on the Rainbow as anglers are limiting out, using lit-tle jigs, wigglers or crick-ets. Where the two rivers come together, some cat-fish in good size have been caught along the bottom. Up the Withlacoochee, bass are biting on wild and domestic shiners, and bluegill are also hitting. On Lake Rousseau, crap-pie are going for yellow- yellow jigs and minnows, while bass are biting on wild shiners.

LAKE ROUSSEAU — Bill Burgess of Lake Rous-seau RV and Fishing said bluegill are scattered in 5-6 feet of water, but the bigger ones are hard to find. Cast next to the weed patches and move around, using bobbers with a worm or cricket. Crappie can be found in some places, likely hitting on minnows, as well as crickets, wig-glers and night crawlers. Catch catfish at night with slip sinkers on the bottom, using mullet or night crawlers. Bass weighing 2-4 pounds are being caught with 7 1/2- or 10-inch Texas-rigged Cul-prit worms in fire and ice, in decent quantity but smaller in size early in the morning and late in the evening.

SALTWATERWITHLACOOCHEE —

Captain Zack Lewis of Reputation Charters (352-302-7928), via Hook, Line and Sinker Bait and Tackle, said, “The redfish and snook bite has been pretty good lately, as well as some nice tarpon mixed in. Catching a lot of snook and reds on live pinfish and having done nice over-slots. The offshore bite has been great as well, getting some nice quality red snapper with some gag and red grouper mixed in, as well as some mangrove snapper, cobia, kingfish, lane snapper and some mahi also. Catching most all of our fish offshore on frozen sardines.

“Hope this helps. Get out there and go fishing.”

CRYSTAL RIVER/BARGE CANAL — Ed’s Tackle Shop reports red-fish around the mangrove islands, biting on live shrimp or D.O.A. jerk shad, though live shrimp are hard to get right now. Trout are in 6-8 feet of water, hit-ting on live shrimp or D.O.A. Lil Johns. Grouper are out in 60-80 feet, going for Spanish sardines or thread-fin herrings.

HOMOSASSA RIVER — Bill Korade of Blue Water Bait and Tackle said that offshore mackerel and trout are in 12-15 feet of water. Use shrimp on the bottom or light-colored plastic. Grouper is good when the weather is bet-ter, in 30-35 feet of water.

KING’S BAY — Captain Louie Argiro of Florida Fishing Adventures (352-601-1963, www.florida fishingadventures.com), based out of Pete’s Pier in

Crystal River, said, “In-shore we are seeing the redfish bite pick up with the amount of rain and thunderstorms that we have been experiencing. That rainwater cools the Gulf water down which triggers our redfish to feed. Fishing rocky points with cut or live pinfish has been the ticket for success.

“Offshore we are still seeing good signs of grou-per if we can make it out there which has been the unfortunate part of all the thunderstorms and wind that we have been experi-encing as well. Along with the grouper we are fishing

for mangrove snapper, hogfish and white grunts, which are all extremely good on the table.

“As for the scallops of 2020 we are seeing a defi-nite rise from last year. With a little bit of work we are seeing some groups coming back with any-where from 3-7 gallons and we even saw a group come back with a full 10-gallon limit. Just take your time and look deep into the grass in 4-6 feet of water. They’re there. See ya out there and happy hunting.”

AROUND CITRUSCaptain William Toney

(352-422-4141) said, “Look-ing toward a week of lower tides during the first half of the day will give scallopers a better chance at finding more of them. At the time of the opening we had full moon tides and a strong westerly wind flow making for some extreme high tides and that was making it tough to find them. I al-ways do my best scalloping when the tide bottoms out and at the ‘stand’ when there is no moving water scallops seem to appear in spots that I’ve snorkeled over 30 minutes before.

“The near-shore rocks are fun spots to fish for grunts, Spanish mackerel, sea bass and mangrove snapper. A lot of times in that 8-10-foot range I’ll lift the anchor to drift away from the rock I’m fishing and start throwing MirrOlure Lil Johns for trout. If you catch two keep-ers in a row then concen-trate on that area to capitalize on that bite. Sometimes it doesn’t last long. Offshore look for grou-per and snapper around 50 feet. Incoming high tide will be early morning or late evening this weekend.”

Morikawa back from missed cutMakes strong

debut at MuirfieldAssociated Press

DUBLIN, Ohio — Collin Mori-kawa didn’t get rattled by his first missed cut as a pro or his first time playing Muirfield Village.

Morikawa finally had a forced weekend off two weeks ago after 22 consecutive cuts to start his PGA Tour career, three short of the standard set by Tiger Woods. He bounced back Thursday in the Workday Charity Open with a 7-under 65 for a one-shot lead over Adam Hadwin.

It was a quiet day of work, typi-cal for the PGA Tour with no spec-tators allowed in the return from the COVID-19 pandemic shut-down. It was never more evident at Muirfield Village, which typi-cally has enough fans to frame just about every hole.

Morikawa goes about his work quietly in any circumstances, and he was dialed in from the start of a relatively calm and steamy af-ternoon on the course Jack Nick-laus built. His shot into the par-5 fifth settled 3 feet away for eagle. All but one of his birdie putts was inside 12 feet. The only setback was a bogey from the fairway on the 18th.

“It’s a beautiful track. It’s a very tough course, obviously, but you just have to map your way around it,” Morikawa said. “You’ve got to be really smart. If you’re not in the fairway, you’ve got to make sure you play smart. I was playing smart but I felt good with my irons, so I was able to attack some pins when they were accessible.”

He liked it so much that Mori-kawa is even more excited about spending two weeks at Muirfield Village.

For the first time in 63 years, the PGA Tour will have tourna-ments on the same course in con-secutive weeks. The Workday Charity Open fills a void this year for the John Deere Classic, which decided to cancel without being able to have spectators, a pro-am or corporate hospitality.

The second week at Muirfield Village — the Memorial — was supposed to be the first with fans since the PGA Tour returned June 11. That plan was scrapped at the last minute and it was clear how much work went into it.

There were signs for spectator parking along the streets outside the club. Concession and hospi-tality tents were a few days away from being completed. There was no point taking them down, be-cause sound travels when no one is around.

Rory Sabbatini found out the hard way. He was at the top of his swing for his opening tee shot when a volunteer some 80 yards away laughed in conversation.

Sabbatini flinched, sent his drive well to the right and he stood looking at the volunteer, too far away to realize what had happened.

Jon Rahm was in a perilous spot in juicy rough left of the 14th green, facing a downhill chip to-ward the water. He took a full swing for a flop shot, it came out softly and raced down the green and into the cup for a birdie.

That hole — that shot — is best known for when Tiger Woods chipped in for par on his way to victory in 1999. Rahm was a 4-year-old in Spain at the time, but apparently he has seen enough video of the shot that as he stood to the side of the green, he smiled and said of the empty theater, “Just like when Tiger did it.”

Phil Mickelson made plenty of noise, at least for nine holes. Lefty was 4 under at the turn and nar-rowly missed a 10-foot birdie chance on the 11th. He made bogey from the bunker. He missed a 5-foot par. He needed two chips from 25 feet to get on the 14th green. He hit in the water for dou-ble bogey on the 16th. He shot 41 on the back for a 73.

Brooks Koepka played for the first time since withdrawing from the Travelers Championship two weeks ago after his caddie tested positive for the coronavirus. He used PGA Tour winner Marc Turnesa as a caddie for this week, which might be a short week. Koepka opened with a 74.

Most of the good scoring came in the morning. Hadwin had five birdies over his last eight holes for a 66. Nick Taylor, a new father who chose to stay home in Canada

for an extra month after the tour resumed, had an eagle at No. 11 and kept bogeys off his card for a 67. He was joined by past Muir-field Village winner Hideki Matsuyama.

Keegan Bradley had a 69 and was among 35 players who shot in the 60s. One shot summed up the environment at PGA Tour events at the moment. He hit a 6-iron on the par-3 fourth hole for an ace, and didn’t even know it.

“There was probably five or six people up by the green, and no one did anything,” Bradley said. “We walked up to the green, I fixed my ball mark. I’m looking all over the green for it. And someone just goes, ‘It’s in the hole,’ like really casually. It was just bizarre.”

And it will be that way for two weeks.

European Tour resumes, Luiten leads in Austrian

ATZENBRUGG, Austria — The Eu-ropean Tour restarted Thursday after a four-month break because of the coronavirus outbreak with the first round of the Austrian Open, where for-mer winner Joost Luiten shot a 7-under 65 to take a one-stroke lead.

The Dutch golfer had been in good form before the suspension of the season in March and he picked up where he left off, starting and finishing his round with birdies and making eight of them in total.

Luiten won the event in 2013 and hasn’t finished outside of the top 10 in his last four starts at the Diamond Country Club outside Vienna.

Scottish players Marc Warren and Craig Howie were tied for second after shooting 66s.

Big Ten to limit football, fall sports

to conferenceThe Big Ten Conference

announced Thurday it will not play nonconference games in football or sev-eral other sports this fall because of the coronavi-rus pandemic.

The league cited medi-cal advice in reaching its decision, the biggest yet by a power conference, and added ominously that the plan would be applied only “if the conference is able to participate in fall sports.”

Besides football, the sports affected include men’s and women’s cross country, field hockey, men’s and women’s soc-cer and women’s volleyball.

“By limiting competition to other Big Ten institu-tions, the conference will have the greatest flexibility to adjust its own opera-tions throughout the sea-son and make quick decisions in real-time based on the most current evolving medical advice and the fluid nature of the pandemic,” the Big Ten said in a statement.

Nets sign veterans players Beasley, Crawford

NEW YORK — The Brooklyn Nets plugged a couple holes in their roster Thursday with a pair of well-traveled veteran scorers.

The Nets signed three-time Sixth Man of the Year Jamal Crawford and Mi-chael Beasley as substi-tute players for the remainder of the season.

The Nets will resume play without Spencer Din-widdie and DeAndre Jor-dan after they tested positive for the coronavi-rus. Wilson Chandler also chose not to play, and Kevin Durant and Kyrie Ir-ving aren’t returning from their injuries.

On the day the Nets practiced for the first time on the Walt Disney World Resort campus, they added a pair of players who can put up points.

Most of Wall Street wilts amid worries on virus, economy

Stan Choe, Damian J. troiSe anD alex Veiga

AP business writers

NEW YORK — Most of Wall Street wilted Thursday on worries that the economy’s recent improvements may be set to fade as coronavirus cases keep climbing.

The S&P 500 lost 0.6%, with three in four stocks within the index falling. The sharpest drops hit oil companies, air-lines and other stocks whose fortunes are most closely tied to a reopening and strengthening economy. Treasury yields also sank in another sign of increased caution.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 361.19 points, or 1.4%, to 25,706.09, while the 17.89 point fall for the S&P 500 to 3,152.05 was just its sec-ond loss in the last eight days.

Smaller stocks sank more than the rest of the market, which often happens when investors are downgrading their expecta-tions for the economy. The Russell 2000 index of small-cap stocks lost 28.48, or 2%, to 1,398.92.

The Nasdaq composite was an outlier as investors continue to bet big tech-ori-ented stocks can keep growing almost regardless of the economy’s strength. It added 55.25, or 0.5%, to 10,547.75 and hit another record.

“The broad equity market is navigating through a zone of uncertainty,” said Terry Sandven, chief equity strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management.

“There are ample reasons for caution,” he said. “Clearly there’s uncertainty sur-rounding the impact and duration of this virus.”

Thursday’s headline economic report showed that a little more than 1.3 million workers filed for unemployment claims last week. It’s an astoundingly high num-ber, but it’s also down from 1.4 million the prior week and from a peak of nearly 6.9 million in late March.

The improvements help validate inves-tors’ earlier optimism that the economy can recover as states and other govern-ments relax restrictions put in place ear-lier this year to slow the coronavirus pandemic. Such optimism helped the S&P 500 rally back to within 7% of its re-cord, after earlier being down nearly 34%.

But economists point to a troubling

slowdown in the pace of improvements, including moderating declines in the four-week average of jobless claims. Fur-ther gains for the job market are going to be more difficult, said Patrick Schaffer, global investment specialist at J.P. Mor-gan Private Bank. The U.S. unemploy-ment rate is currently 11.1%.

“The initial jump was the easy part,” he said. “The reality is the labor market continues to face enormous headwinds.”

Investors are worried that worsening infection levels across swaths of the U.S. South and West and in other global hotspots could derail the budding recov-ery. Some states are rolling back their reopenings, while others are ordering people arriving from hotspots to quarantine.

“When the restrictions were relaxed in the beginning part of June, you saw parts of the tangible economy do really well,” Schaffer said. “A lot of that has been un-wound as we’ve seen a resurgence in case count and some restrictions being put in place.”

Markets have been quick to react to in-fection and hospitalization rates in Flor-ida and other big Sun Belt states in particular. Thursday’s losses for stocks accelerated after Florida reported the largest daily increase in deaths yet from the pandemic, with its cumulative death toll topping 4,000.

Such concerns helped push Treasury yields lower. The yield on the 10-year note, which tends to move with investors’ expectations for the economy and infla-tion, sank to 0.60% from 0.65% late Wednesday.

The price of gold also held above $1,800 per ounce. Gold tends to rise when investors are worried about the economy, and on Wednesday it touched its highest price since September 2011. After flip-ping between small gains and losses, gold for delivery in August dipped $16.80 to settle at $1,803.80.

In the stock market, the sharpest losses hit companies whose profits tend to rise and fall most closely with the strength of the economy. Energy stocks dropped 4.9% for the biggest loss among the 11 sectors that make up the index. Exxon Mobil sank 4.1%, and ConocoPhil-lips fell 6.6%. Benchmark U.S. crude dropped $1.28 to settle at $39.62 per barrel.

How do you rebuild the U.S. economy — literally? Think construction jobs.

In May, overall job openings plummeted 26% from a year earlier, government data shows. But job postings by construction companies declined much less over the past year — a scant 2%; they’re essentially back at pre-pandemic levels. It’s an indication that as the economy reopens from the coronavirus shutdown in fits and starts, builders could experience one of the fastest recoveries.

The rebound in construction jobs reflects a demand for new housing as well as the

adaptation of some buildings for public health needs.

The retail industry has also fared comparatively well in job postings; openings are down only 10% from a year ago. But retail jobs had been trending

downward before the pan- demic hit as online shopping has surged in popularity. Retail industry figures suggest a steady, prolonged decline rather than evidence of a potential rebound.

The picture is especially bleak, though, for restau-rants and hotels: Their job postings have plunged 46% from a year ago, in a likely sign of more pain to come.

Reinhardt has my vote

The Superintendent of Schools in Citrus County is the most powerful office in our county. It is the county’s largest employer; there are 2,500 employees who owe their jobs to this office. The position oversees a current budget of $233 million and presently has an additional $5 million dollars from the CARES ACT for COVID-19. With this much power, there needs to be a change made from time to time, and that time has come. Common Core is deep rooted in our school system and needs to be purged. The future of our country is at stake, and it is imperative our students are taught the history of our great nation and the principles on which it was founded.

When Common Core was in-troduced to our country in 2009, our school system leaders praised it as a step forward. Many were too quick in imple-menting it, without research-ing the pitfalls. Not only is it an intrusion of the federal govern-ment into state, but is negative to the point of the dumbing down of our students. How will our children succeed in life or even function, if they can’t read, write or add?

Our children deserve better as they are our future, and the future of our country is in their hands. We have a chance to rectify the mistakes of our past with someone who will focus on the best educa-tion for our children, and will return patriotism and God to our schools. And as a bonus, we get someone who as a phy-sician has a great knowledge, insight and understanding of the addictions that our chil-dren may encounter. This candidate also favors the Gateway method of teaching, which ensures the ability to think critically about a mat-ter, to analyze a question, a situation or a problem down to it’s most basic parts which is what helps us evaluate the accuracy and truthfulness of statements, claims and infor-mation we read and hear.

We need to vote for the most qualified person for Su-perintendent of Schools and in my opinion that person is Dr. Paul Reinhardt.

Adams dedicated to county

Election season is revving up, and 2020 promises to be one of the most crucial and po-tentially most pivotal years in the history of our proud and glorious nation since its birth in 1776. Given the deadly and heartbreaking pandemic, exac-erbated with an appalling dis-respect of our battle-worn American flag and our brave, heroic military members, as well as our beleaguered law enforcement officers who risk their lives on a daily basis to keep us safe, election integrity is more important than ever before.

Fortunately, already work-ing behind the scenes to help ensure fair and honest elec-tions is a Citrus County na-tive, American patriot, very successful businessman and former county commissioner, Scott Adams, who has pre-sented himself as an honor-able candidate for supervisor of elections in Citrus County. I trust Scott to serve us well because he refuses to be a member of the “good old boy” establishment as he stands tall and courageously as a man for all the people.

Without fail, Scott is commit-ted to the ideals and principles that made our country a bea-con of hope and opportunity for people of all colors, all races, all nationalities and all religions. Scott undeniably cares for the elderly, who have sacrificed so much for our na-tion, and he has a special place in his heart for little children, too many abused and ne-glected, to help provide them the safety, freedom and

opportunity to be happy, to love one another and to make their dreams come true.

For inspiration and strength, Scott relies on a fa-miliar ally who lives everyday in the hearts and lives of many of us, our dearly, be-loved Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I will be honored to vote for Scott Adams for su-pervisor of elections because I believe he is absolutely ded-icated to the well-being of the wonderful people of our beautiful Citrus County, the magnificent state of Florida, and the greatest country in the history of the world, the United States of America.

Guest column informative

I found the guest column “End exodus of experienced deputies” by Peter Cuccaro very interesting and informa-tive. I have to concur with his perspective, which was very thoughtful.

There has been in my per-spective a big loss since Sher-iff Jeff Dawsy resigned. Dawsy made it a point to in-terface with the community by attending meetings that he was invited to and providing to the public with a multitude of thoughts, info and his per-spective of law enforcement. I am not aware of Sheriff Prendergast interfacing with the citizens of Citrus County in a similar manner.

There is one question that I have for Mr. Cuccaro, though. You apparently see many is-sues with the present CCSO, however, you did not identify a good replacement or resolu-tion for sheriff.

Editorial shows political bias

I was disappointed by the political bias shown in the July 8, 2020, Chronicle edito-rial. This is not the time nor place to belittle the top law en-forcement officer in the county,

To state or imply that our sheriff was was wrong to ac-cept the advice of the attorney for the Florida Sheriff ’s Asso-ciation is not the answer. I ap-preciate Sheriff Mike Prendergast for seeking legal advice about the intent to re-sign of a deputy running for of-fice other than sheriff.

Interestingly, our Citrus County Commissioner Brian Coleman gave an intent to re-sign his position as a deputy to run for an office other than sheriff ’s.

Misunderstanding purpose of masks

County Administrator Randy Oliver’s response to a question posed by Barry Stine suggested a fundamental mis-understanding of the purpose of masks. When asked why Citrus County does not have a mandatory mask policy, Oliver replied, “Each individ-ual needs to make the deci-sion whether to wear a mask based on their own

medical history. ...”Wrong! That implies that

only at-risk individuals need to wear masks. The reality is to protect the at-risk people, everyone needs to wear masks because the non-medi-cal grade masks don’t provide much protection to the wearer. But they do provide significant protection to those around the wearer because they slow the spread of poten-tially contaminated droplets. Hence, to protect each other, we all need to wear masks.

Oliver went on to say the mask decision is also based on “... investigation and con-sultation with their medical professional as appropriate.”

The vast majority of medi-cal professionals and public health experts advise wearing masks. No investigation re-quired. My wife and I have been to multiple doctors’ of-fices recently. They all re-quire masks.

Right now, the virus spread is out of control. We all want to restart the economy, but it doesn’t have to cost tens of thousands more lives. I’ve been wearing a mask in pub-lic for several months now. They’re in each of my vehi-cles. It’s really no big deal. Seems like a small price to pay to literally save the country.

Trump our first retiree president

A recent letter to the editor by Donald Tracy of Homo-sassa was good for a morning chuckle. It was titled “Trump works hard for the country,” and it contained many out-landish and easily disprov-able claims. But the primary assertion — that Trump is out there selflessly busting his hump for us daily — is truly comical.

I take it Mr. Tracy isn’t on Twitter. If he were, he’d realize Trump live-tweets Fox & Friends and other right-wing media programming con-stantly, something people with real jobs don’t have time to do. Trump also manages to insert himself into every celebrity and political Twitter beef like a tween on summer holiday. Working hard or hardly work-ing? Clearly, it’s the latter.

After saying during the cam-paign that he wouldn’t have time to take vacations, Trump has spent more than 20% of his presidency to date playing golf at Trump-branded golf courses. U.S. taxpayers like Mr. Tracy and me have paid more than $130 million to fund these outings so far. Between all the golfing and TV watching, it’s fair to call Trump our first re-tiree president. Maybe he should just move to The Vil-lages — it would be cheaper for us taxpayers.

If Mr. Tracy wants to see how a real hard worker successfully handles complex national challenges like the coronavi-rus pandemic, he should study the actions of the leaders of every other industrialized country on the planet and note how those countries have fared during the crisis. Spoiler alert —far better than the U.S. has under Trump.

Mr. Tracy closes by saying of Trump, “He is my presi-dent!” Enjoy that while you can, Mr. Tracy. I think enough Americans have finally seen through the lazy charlatan and are now highly motivated to make his retirement offi-cial rather than de facto come November.

OFFICIAL MISSTEP

Commissioner Smith owes county staff an apology

Commissioner Jimmie T. Smith overstepped his authority when he pub-

licly called out the county’s Land Development Director Joana Coutu — not by name, but by job title — of adding restric-tions to develop-er’s plans that are not supported by the county code.

In doing so, he also rightfully re-ceived a dressing down by fellow commissioners Ron Kitchen and board Chairman Brian Coleman who said Smith was teetering close to workplace harassment.

We agree. Criticizing staff members in a public forum smacks of intimidation on Smith’s part.

County Administrator Randy Oliver is hired by commissioners to run the government. Commissioners are voted in to set policy. County staff do not work for

commissioners.The proper protocol is to

address concerns through Oliver.

Apparently Smith, who has been openly criti-cal of staff before, does not under-stand how the process works.

If Smith feels the county is not business friendly, and that is a le-gitimate position, he should not start by micro- managing the is-

sues.In this case he did not have his facts straight and was laying blame on the wrong person.

It appears he is more in-terested in winning political support than actually getting anything done, as he was hoping the gesture would win votes from builders and developers.

Smith should show contri-tion. Anything short of a pub-lic apology to all parties harmed is an injustice.

THE ISSUE:Board knocks Smith column.

OUR OPINION:Smith failed to follow proper

protocol.

Inverness should require face masksThis is a request for the Inver-

ness City Council: Since the ma-jority of the cases in Citrus County are in the Inverness area, please help the el-derly and those with pre-existing conditions by putting face-mask requirements on going into any grocery store. We do not have to go in most places, but we do have to eat.

Stay out of others’ business

I was reading the Monday, June 29, 2020, Sound Off sec-tion and there was a call-in arti-cle titled, “Florida gun stores were thriving.” The gentleman goes on to say that people that are receiving “taxpayer money” to buy guns is against his pre-rogative. He agrees it’s some-body’s prerogative to buy a weapon, but finds it a little offen-sive that they’re doing it with “taxpayer money.” Did this per-son ever sit down and think that maybe they were working people and that maybe that’s the taxes that they paid in? For instance, I worked from 1970 to 2002 and in that time, I got one tax return for $100, which I never got, and another one in 1980 for $500. Never received a penny or I broke even any other time. This is not your money when you say “tax-payer money.” It’s the money of people who worked and put

taxes into the economy. My in-come as a retiree is enough to sustain me very nicely and I pay zero taxes. Yes, there’s a legal way to do it. I pay 13% tax on my cable bill, I pay at least 18% tax on a gallon of gas, I pay tax

on my electric bill and I pay tax on my cellphone bill. When it’s all said and done, I pay about 19% of my retirement money to taxes. So ev-erybody pays taxes in some way, shape or form. My problem with this person is, stop get-ting into other people’s business. ... Stay out of people’s business. They

have a right to spend that money the way they want.

So much for elder care

I have this elderly care that my primary care doctor put me on where they come to my house almost every two weeks to check on me. I had them come a week and a half ago. He said, “We’re going to draw blood and take an X-ray of your hand.” That week they came and took the blood. I called them Monday for the X-ray. It’s Wednesday and I called them again today. ... They said, “Don’t worry, they’ll be there today.” I waited around all day. I had to call again. Their re-sponse, “Oh, they should be coming by this evening and if not, call us back.” So much for elderly care.

ATLANTA — Federal health officials won’t re-vise their coronavirus guidelines for reopening schools despite criticism from President Donald Trump, the head of the Centers for Disease Con-trol and Prevention said Thursday. What they will do, he said, is provide additional information to help states, communi-ties and parents decide what to do and when.

“Our guidelines are our guidelines,” Dr. Rob-ert Redfield declared.

In draft CDC docu-ments obtained by The Associated Press, the agency says there are steps that schools can take to safely reopen but that it “cannot provide one-size-fits-all criteria for opening and closing schools or changing the way schools are run.”

“Decisions about how to open and run schools safely should be made based on local needs and conditions,” the doc-uments say.

They also include a checklist that encour-ages parents to carefully consider whether they should send their kids back to school in person or seek virtual instruc-tion. Many districts na-tionwide are offering parents a choice of ei-ther mode of instruction. New York City, among other school districts, has announced that stu-dents will only return part-time in the fall.

That runs counter to Trump’s messaging. He has been repeatedly pressuring state and local officials to reopen schools this fall, even threatening to withhold federal funds from those that keep teaching and learning remote.

Trump on Wednesday criticized the CDC’s guidelines as “very tough and expensive” and said the agency was “asking schools to do very impractical things.” Speaking of CDC offi-cials, he tweeted, “I will be meeting with them!!!” And Vice President Mike Pence said revised guidelines would be is-sued next week.

But in an appearance on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” Redfield firmly stuck to the exist-ing CDC guidelines.

“It’s really important, it’s not a revision of the guidelines, it’s just to provide additional infor-mation to help schools be able to use the guid-ance that we put forward.”

Asked about the ap-parent discrepancy be-tween Redfield’s and Pence’s statements, White House spokes-woman Kayleigh McE-nany said they were on the same page. She said “supplemental guide-lines” would be forthcoming.

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has said that schools will be fail-ing kids if they don’t pro-vide full-time, in-person instruction.

But the draft CDC doc-uments, which have yet to be released publicly, say decisions like that should be left to local of-ficials. They say, “Each school and each commu-nity will have different needs and should imple-ment the strategies best designed to meet them.”

Seoul mayor Park Won-soon found dead at age 64SEOUL, South Korea —

Park Won-soon, the three-term mayor of South Korea’s capital, a fierce critic of economic inequality who was seen as a poten-tial presidential candidate in 2022, was found dead early Friday. He was 64.

Police said Park’s body was found near a restau-rant nestled in wooded hills stretching across northern Seoul after a more than seven-hour search involv-ing hundreds of police offi-cers, firefighters, drones and dogs.

They said there were no signs of foul play, but gave no further details on the cause of death.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government earlier said Park did not come to work on Thursday and had can-celed his schedule for the day.

His daughter reported him missing Thursday after-noon, saying he had given her a “will-like” verbal mes-sage and left home. He was last seen on security video entering a park at the mouth of the hills late Thursday morning.

It wasn’t immediately clear what caused Park’s disappearance and death. When asked about local media reports that one of his secretaries had filed a complaint against him in-volving alleged sexual ha-rassment, Seoul police official Choi Ik-su confirmed that a complaint against Park had been filed with po-lice on Wednesday but didn’t specify what he was accused of.

Ex-Trump lawyer Cohen back in federal prison

NEW YORK — President Donald Trump’s former per-sonal lawyer and fixer, Mi-chael Cohen, was returned to federal prison Thursday, after balking at certain con-ditions of the home confine-ment he was granted because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The federal Bureau of Prisons said that Cohen had “refused the conditions of his home confinement and as a result, has been returned to a BOP facility.”

Lanny Davis, a Cohen legal adviser, said Cohen had refused to sign off on conditions requiring he avoid speaking with the media and publishing a tell-all book he began working on in federal prison. Davis said the book had been nearly ready to publish.

“That was a point that disturbed him because he pointed out that he was able to talk to the media while he was in Otisville,” Davis said. “He said, ‘But the book is already done and I’m not giving up my First Amendment right to talk to the media, to use so-cial media and, of course, to publish my book.’”

Court rules on Trump taxesInfo will stay

private for nowmArk ShermAn

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Re-jecting President Donald Trump’s complaints that he’s being harassed, the Supreme Court ruled Thursday in favor of a New York prosecutor’s de-mands for the billionaire president’s tax records. But in good political news for Trump, his taxes and other financial records al-most certainly will be kept out of the public eye at least until after the No-vember election.

In a separate case, the justices kept a hold on banking and other docu-ments about Trump, fam-ily members and his businesses that Congress has been seeking for more than a year. The court said that while Congress has significant power to de-mand the president’s per-sonal information, it is not limitless.

The court turned away the broadest arguments by Trump’s lawyers and the Justice Department that the president is immune from investigation while he holds office or that a prosecutor must show a greater need than normal to obtain the tax records. But it is unclear when a lower court judge might order the Manhattan dis-trict attorney’s subpoena to be enforced.

Trump is the only presi-dent in modern times who has refused to make his tax returns public, and before he was elected he promised to release them. He didn’t embrace Thursday’s out-come as a victory even though it is likely to prevent his opponents in Congress

from obtaining potentially embarrassing personal and business records ahead of Election Day.

In fact, the increasing likelihood that a grand jury will eventually get to examine the documents drove the president into a public rage. He lashed out declaring that “It’s a pure witch hunt, it’s a hoax” and calling New York, where he has lived most of his life, “a hellhole.”

The documents have the potential to reveal details on everything from possi-ble misdeeds to the true nature of the president’s vaunted wealth — not to mention uncomfortable disclosures about how he’s spent his money and how much he’s given to charity.

The rejection of Trump’s claims of presi-dential immunity marked the latest instance where his broad assertion of ex-ecutive power has been rejected.

Trump’s two high court appointees, Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett

Kavanaugh, joined the ma-jority in both cases along with Chief Justice John Roberts and the four lib-eral justices. Roberts wrote both opinions.

“Congressional subpoe-nas for information from the President, however, implicate special con-cerns regarding the sepa-ration of powers. The courts below did not take adequate account of those concerns,” Roberts wrote in the congressional case.

But Roberts also wrote that Trump was asking for too much. “The standards proposed by the President and the Solicitor General — if applied outside the context of privileged infor-mation — would risk seri-ously impeding Congress in carrying out its respon-sibilities,” the chief justice wrote.

The ruling returns the congressional case to lower courts, with no clear prospect for when it might ultimately be resolved.

Promising to keep press-ing the case in the lower

courts, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thurs-day’s decision “is not good news for President Trump.”

“The Court has reaf-firmed the Congress’s au-thority to conduct oversight on behalf of the American people,” Pelosi said in a statement.

The tax returns case also is headed back to a lower court. Mazars USA, Trump’s accounting firm, holds the tax returns and has indicated it would comply with a court order. Because the grand jury process is confidential, Trump’s taxes normally would not be made public.

Manhattan District At-torney Cyrus Vance Jr. said his investigation, on hold while the court fight played out, will now resume.

“This is a tremendous victory for our nation’s sys-tem of justice and its founding principle that no one — not even a presi-dent — is above the law, “ Vance said said.

Associated PressBill Christeson holds up a sign that reads “Follow the Money” outside the Supreme Court, Thursday, July 9, 2020, in Washington. The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the Manhattan district attorney can obtain Trump tax returns while not allowing Congress to get Trump tax and financial records, for now, returning the case to lower courts.

Europe fears virus complacencyCOVID-19 hits

‘full speed’ in AfricaJovAnA GeC And Geir moulSon

Associated Press

BELGRADE, Serbia — Asian and European officials pleaded with their citizens Thursday to respect modest precautions as several coun-tries saw coronavirus outbreaks ac-celerate or sought to prevent new flare-ups, while the virus showed no signs of slowing its initial advance in Africa and the Americas.

Following two nights of anti-lock-down protests in Serbia, authorities banned mass gatherings in the capi-tal of Belgrade amid an uptick in confirmed COVID-19 cases. Officials elsewhere in Europe warned of the risk of new flareups due to lax social distancing, while officials in Tokyo and Hong Kong reviewed night-clubs, restaurants and other public gathering spots as a source of their latest cases.

Infections mounted at a frighten-ing speed in the countries with the world’s highest confirmed caseloads — the United States, India and Bra-zil. Between them, the three account for the majority of new cases world-wide reported daily.

India on Thursday reported 25,000 new cases; the United States on Wednesday reported just short of the record 60,000 cases set a day ear-lier, and Brazil reported nearly 45,000. In the U.S., the total number of confirmed cases has passed 3 mil-lion — meaning nearly one in every 100 people has been confirmed as infected

The head of the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the continent would be wise to prepare for the worst-case scenario as virus-related deaths passed 12,000 and confirmed cases climbed fast. A day after confirmed virus cases across Africa surpassed half a million, the total was over 522,000, and the actual number of cases is unknown since testing levels are low.

’We’ve crossed a critical number here,” Africa CDC chief John

Nkengasong said of the half-million milestone. “Our pandemic is getting full speed.”

Much of Europe appeared to have put the worst of the crisis behind it, at least for now. But Serbia has emerged as a new focus of concern — and of unrest. On Thursday, au-thorities banned gatherings of more than 10 people in Belgrade, the cap-ital, in what they said was an effort to prevent the further spread of the virus. They also ordered shorter working hours for businesses such as cafes and shops.

Serbia, which has a population of about 6.9 million, has confirmed more than 17,000 cases of the new coronavirus, including 341 deaths. A few hundred new infections are being reported daily. Critics accuse President Aleksandar Vucic of let-ting the crisis spin out of control by lifting an earlier lockdown to allow for an election last month that tight-ened his grip on power.

Flare-ups of new virus cases are causing concern in several parts of the world, and in some cases lead-ing to the reintroduction of restric-tions on public activity.

In France and Greece, officials warned that people were too fre-quently ignoring safety guidance. The French government’s leading coronavirus adviser, Jean-Francois Delfraissy, lamented that “the French in general have abandoned

protective measures.”In Australia, which had initial

success containing the outbreak, au-thorities on Thursday reported 179 new cases, most in Melbourne, where authorities are battling a re-surgence and have imposed a new six-week lockdown.

Tokyo confirmed more than 220 new cases Thursday, exceeding its record daily increase from mid-April and prompting concerns of widening of the infections. Tokyo’s more than 7,000 cases are about one-third of Japan’s total.

Experts on Tokyo’s virus task force said the majority of recent cases were linked to night clubs but rising infections from households, workplaces and parties raised con-cerns the virus is spreading in the wider community.

Hong Kong moved to tighten so-cial-distancing measures after it re-ported 42 new infections on Thursday. Rules for restaurants, bars and fitness centers will be tightened for two weeks starting Saturday.

In India, research by the Institute of Mathematical Sciences in Chen-nai shows that the reproduction rate of the virus ticked up in the first week of July to about 1.2 after it had steadily fallen from a peak of 1.8 in March. The rate needs to be below one for new cases to start falling.

There’s a great southern tradition of sharing “porch music” — Appalachian and Gospel being two examples — that cellist Tom Porter

knows well. Over the next year, he hopes he will go from porch music to bedside music.

Porter is the latest music scholarship recipient from Citrus County’s Music in Medicine program.

Music in Medicine promotes the power of thera-peutic music in healing body and mind. It is a non-profit organization committed to developing musicians to serve Citrus County’s health care community.

Adele Jacobson, president and founder of Music in Medicine, noted “We are so pleased to award a scholarship to Tom Porter. He brings a wide range of musical talent to our program.”

Porter, from Beverly Hills, is the third recipient of scholarships from the organization. He joins Carla Bak of Inverness and Barry Denham of Citrus Hills, who are studying to become certified music practitioners.

Porter’s family flowed with music. He learned to sing harmony at a young age on the porch. He mother played organ and piano at home and in church. The youngest of three, Porter’s brother played violin, his sister viola. In addition to cello, Porter played tuba, string bass and guitar.

“Going through the Dayton school music program lead me to play all the way through high school. I earned a full-ride scholarship at the Wright State University School of Music after playing with the Dayton Philharmonic Youth Symphony as principal cellist.

“I was still a teenager and through fellow musi-cians, I was invited to perform for veterans return-ing from Vietnam at the VA Hospital in Dayton, Ohio,” Porter said. “I also had occasion to play in a nursing home for the mother of a friend. The impact of these events was clear to me. I experienced the power of music to heal; to change a person’s mood, to ease pain and despair.”

“Many years later, I was able to volunteer to play for the Alzheimer’s Support Network in Naples, Florida ... I was reminded of how music affects peo-ple. These performances were done on a weekly basis and led to requests to play for memory care fa-cilities. I had occasion to play for Hospice patients and did so because I knew that they would be com-forted,” he said.

Porter’s most memorable of these occasions were holiday performances for the Alzheimer’s Gentle-man’s Club. His memories came from folks who did not talk much.

“One gentleman asked if we could sing ‘Silent Night’ in German. He knew all the words and sang them with glistening eyes,” said Porter.

One of the reasons Porter wanted to try for a scholarship was the effect of coronavirus on re-hearsals and performances for the upcoming 2020-21 music season. The misfortune brought by the virus created the time and opportunity for him to apply himself to the course work.

“Using my time and energy to complete the CMP (certified music practitioner) gives me an opportu-nity to work on my repertoire (cello, guitar and vo-cals),” he said. “I am looking forward to reading the material and participating in the classes.

“With the Zoom modules, I am not concerned with social distancing. The opportunity to reframe my knowledge and experience is a gift. I know I will walk through some newly opened doors,” Porter said. “I will receive and give positive energy, comfort and healing. I may even be able to mentor other musicians.”

Music in Medicine has funding available to pay for more qualified musicians to train, which will lead to certification. Musicians can play the guitar, harp, cello, bass, mountain dulcimer, hammered dulcimer, small keyboard, Native American flute, recorder and more. Brass and percussion are not recommended.

The Nature Coast Community Band (NCCB) is pleased to an-nounce the appointment of J.

Craig Lilly as the new director/conductor.

Lilly replaces Emeritus Conductor Cindy Hazzard, who is retiring after 11 sea-sons with the band.

NCCB was established in 2009, and has a reputation for providing high-quality symphonic band music to the Nature Coast commu-nities. These free public concerts are provided by over 90 volunteer musicians. Lilly is looking forward to continuing the NCCB legacy.

“I consider it both an honor and a privilege to stand in front of these outstanding musicians of all ages,”-Lilly said. “It’s every band director’s dream to be able to share challeng-ing repertoire that the musicians and audience can enjoy while pro-

viding an emotional connec-tion with each other. We hope our music will be an inspiration for the audience and the performers at a time when we really need music and each other.”

Lilly is currently a math/music teacher at North Mar-ion High School in Citra. He has taught music in the pub-lic schools since 1980. He

worked on doctorate studies in music education at Boston Univer-sity, received his Master of Music in

percussion performance from Miami University and his Bachelor of Music in education and perfor-mance from The Ohio State University.

He is a percussionist and has per-formed locally with the Kingdom of the Sun Band, the Southern Express Big Band, The Jazzy Dixielanders, Central Florida Master Choir and has worked with several middle and high school music groups.

The mission of the Nature Coast Community Band is to provide op-portunities for musicians of all ages to come together in an enjoyable and cooperative atmosphere, to per-form concerts in the community band tradition for the benefit of the community, and to promote cultural enhancement in the Nature Coast of Florida.

Nowadays, many have had to adapt to the practice of participating in public events in a more unconventional way

than they normally would.This same time last year, if someone was

told they would be participating in a mara-thon run, prom, cooking class or even a pa-rade online, they would believe that to be impossible.

However, due to the recent health pan-demic, all of these events and more have been

hosted virtually, through careful planning by event hosts and meticulous tech configurations.

An upcoming event that is widely antici-pated in Citrus County is the Key Center Walk a Mile event. This year, the event will take place virtually, like many others.

Walk a Mile is an event hosted annually since 2009 to allow community members and Key Center clients to get involved with the Key runners, as part of the annual Run for the Money event.

Typically, it is set up as a 1-mile walk with a Key client and celebration to welcome the runners home from their seven- day, 180-mile run from Tallahassee.

“This year, we have made this event virtual and are urging our community members along with our longtime supporters to still support us from home,” said Hope Selander, develop-ment and community relations manager for the Key Center. “Whether they walk a mile at their local gym, their neighbor-hood, or if they choose to walk with friends on local trails.”

Selander hopes that although the event may be hosted differ-ently this year, it still can bring the same joy to the hearts of all those involved.

“This event is the way for us to celebrate our Key runners after they just made the incred-ible trip from Tallahassee,” she said. “Celebrating with our cli-ents, their families, our staff and our community is some-thing we look forward to every year.”

To register for the Walk a Mile event, call 352-795-5541, ext. 312; text WalkForTheKey to 71777; or visit the Key Training Center Facebook page at face-book.com/KeyTrainingCenter/ to find recent posts with addi-tional signup information and updates.

It is $25 to register, and all those who sign up will receive a commemorative Walk a Mile T-shirt. Registration will

remain open until July 15. All proceeds benefit the Key.

About the Key Training Center

Established in 1966, the Key Training Center opened their doors to allow opportunities for

those with intellectual and de-velopmental disabilities. The expansion of the center was necessary, due to an increasing need for available resources and programs for those with these disabilities locally.

“The expansion was made possible because we had

steadfast community support right here in Citrus County,” Se-lander said. “We have two cam-pus locations in Lecanto and Inverness, along with our 18 homes and four apartment complexes that house our resi-dential clients, and our four re-tail store operations. We now

have an economic impact on the community valued at 12.8 million dollars.”

The Key and all its facilities are utilized by countless indi-viduals throughout the county and depend on continued sup-port from the community.

Visit keytrainingcenter.org.

Training to become a therapeutic mu-sician is now offered as an online course, so no or only limited travel is required.

The coursework is accomplished at the student’s own pace.

Also note, current limited hospital vis-itation defers the internship portion of the course.

Typically, it takes about a year to work through the entire program, although someone who wants to progress more quickly can certainly do so.

A dream vacation is the perfect antidote to stress and the monotony of daily life. When a getaway isn’t in the cards, you can still escape and explore new places virtually.

A virtual trip can be a great way to explore destina-tions you might consider for a future vacation, or it may be a chance to see remarkable sights around the world that you wouldn’t get to experience otherwise. Virtual travel can also engage kids in learning when you pair the experience with lessons on culture, geog-raphy or even a homemade take on local culinary treats.

Add authenticity to the experience with special touches that mimic the ambiance. If you’re visiting the beach, kick up the heat and turn on a fan for some breeze. Light a coconut-scented candle and enjoy a bowl of ice cream while you take in the sights.

Get your virtual adventures underway with these se-lections from the travel experts at Vrbo:

n Look around the Louvre in Paris. Explore the Egyptian Antiquities, remains of the Louvre’s Moat and Galerie d’Apollon by virtual museum tour as you head inside this iconic art lover’s institution.

n Sneak inside the San Diego Zoo. Get up close and personal with the resident apes, penguins, pandas, gi-raffes, elephants and tigers in real time via one of the many live cams positioned to spot wildlife from the comfort of your couch.

n Walk the Great Wall of China. Make your Great Wall goals a reality. Get a glimpse of this 300-mile won-der of the world with a cyber stroll before dreaming up your own future family trip.

n Watch big wave surfing in Maui. Transport your-self to the beach as you watch white-knuckle surfing at its most surreal. Whether you’re a super fan or first-time spectator of the sport, it’s a compelling beach-cam watch and a welcome escape from the everyday.

n Travel 352 million miles to Mars. Feel a world away as you explore Mars from aboard NASA’s Curios-ity Rover. Learn as you roam between its different mission sites for a virtual, yet realistic, view of the Red Planet’s remarkable landscape.

For families who miss traveling together, you can share the joys of your virtual journey through video-conferencing and adding some extra ambiance and a change of scenery by downloading a travel wallpaper

for your meeting background. If the virtual destina-tions inspire you to visit in person someday, use re-sources like Vrbo’s Trip Boards to create a list of places to stay as soon as you can get away, and keep the dream going by sending the link to family mem-bers and asking them to vote and comment on their favorites.

Edmund Burke, who was a mem-ber of the British parliament be-tween 1766 and 1794, wrote, “He that wrestles with us strengthens our nerves and sharpens our skill. Our antagonist is our helper.”

At the bridge table, we wrestle mentally with our opponents. How-ever, on some deals, like today’s, you can call on an opponent to help you make your contract.

South is in six spades. What

should he do after West leads the heart king?

In the bidding, South’s jump to four spades showed a strong one-suiter. North’s five-heart con-trol-bid invited a slam, which South was happy to accept.

South had 11 top tricks: seven spades, one heart, one diamond and two clubs. If only North or South had had a third club. Declar-er’s first thought was a successful diamond finesse. But now he saw two better chances.

He won with dummy’s heart ace, drew the trumps, ruffed a heart in hand and took his two club tricks ending on the board. Then South led the heart six. When East dis-carded, so did declarer, pitching his low diamond. West took the trick but was endplayed. If he had led a heart, declarer would have ruffed on the board and sluffed his diamond queen. When West shifted to a diamond, South claimed.

What would declarer have done if East had covered the heart six with a heart high enough to take the trick?

South would have ruffed, cashed the diamond ace, played a trump to the board and led a diamond to his queen. He would have made it home if East had the diamond king, or West had his majesty singleton or doubleton.

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

Dear Annie: My husband is in his late 50s and works

in road construction. Every time that he is assigned to a job that lasts at least six to eight weeks, he always seems to start trying to pick up a female co-worker, usually in the age range of 25 to 35. He will buy them cigarettes and lunch and drinks and is super sweet to them. He texts them all day and always tells them how beauti-ful they looked that day. And to every single one of these women, he at some point says: "Ever since I've met you, I've really come out of my shell. Thank you."

I have tried to talk to him about it, but he just denies it every time, even as I quote to him the text messages verbatim. He doesn't know how I know that he does this. (I won't reveal my method here.) I don't know if it is something to worry about. Am I just overreacting? To me, it seems like emotional abuse.

I have to know, Annie, should I stay with him or dump his sorry butt? — Confused

Dear Confused: If only he really were sorry; that's the crux of the issue. He doesn't seem to have a shred of remorse. Tell him that if he wants this marriage to work, you two need to go to mar-riage counseling. Otherwise, he can take his shell and get crawling.

Dear Annie: What is the social protocol during a FaceTime call? For example, when a nonparticipating family member walks past the camera frame during the FaceTime call, should the viewer acknowledge the fami-ly member or simply continue the conversation without any acknowledgment? — New to This

Dear New to This: There's no protocol here, but I believe a wave and a smile are always appropriate. This allows the passerby an opportunity to stop and chat more if they'd like, without putting any pressure on them to do so.

Dear Annie: Recently, you've published a number of letters from older folks who say they are lonely and forgotten. I don't doubt their feelings, but I want to tell you my experience with my older neighbors. They read your column, so I hope they see this letter.

I'm a 54-year-old empty- nester who works part time as an RN. I'm a naturally caring person, and I enjoy people. When I check on my neigh-bors either through a phone call, a quick visit over the fence or taking over a piece of warm cake, they seem to care less. Especially an older couple across the street. The husband reminded me that his kin live in the neighbor-hood, and they help them out when needed. Oddly, I really don't see his kin over there much. They all work and seem really busy. I get lonely myself, but when I attempt to reach out to older neighbors, they seem a bit aloof. I'm very careful not to infringe on their personal time, and I don't show up unannounced.

Remind your readers we all can use an extra friend or two, and you never know who you might need in an emergency. Thanks for letting me vent. — A Neighbor in the South

Dear Neighbor: Perhaps these neighbors get the sense you're condescending to them with your warmth, and so they act defensively. Hopefully, in time, as you make it clear that you'd like a good neighborly relation-ship in which you help one another, they'll come around. In the meantime, your letter reminds us all not to guess at one another's intentions or get too defensive when some-one wants to help. We might be doing that person a favor by allowing them the chance.

Department of Environmental ProtectionNotice of Proposed Renewal of Generic Permit Coverage

and Request for Public Comment

The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) gives Notice of Proposed Re-newal of Generic Permit Coverage for Florida Department of Transportation District Seven, 11201 N. McKinley Drive, Tampa, FL 33612 (DEP File No FLR04E142-002) under the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection Generic Permit for Discharge of Stormwater from Phase II Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) [DEP Docu-ment 62-621.300(7)(a), effective May 1, 2003, and Appendix A of DEP Form 62-621.300(7)(b)].

The Department has determined the Notice of Intent submitted by the applicant for generic permit coverage renewal, including any responses to request for additional information if ap-plicable, is consistent with the requirements of Rule 62-621.300(7), Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C), and the proposed Stormwater Management Program, as described in Appen-dix A, meets the criteria for coverage under the generic permit. The applicant’s Stormwater Management Program includes: best management practices, control techniques, system de-sign and engineering methods to reduce the discharge of pollutants in stormwater dis-charges from the Phase II MS4 to surface waters of the State to the maximum extent practi-cable.

Pursuant to Rule 62-620.555, F.A.C., any interested person may submit written comments concerning the applicant’s proposed Phase II MS4 Stormwater Management Program [as described in Appendix A, DEP Form 62-621.300(7)(b), effective May 1, 2003] to the Depart-ment or may submit a written request for a public meeting to the Department’s NPDES Stormwater Program, 2600 Blair Stone Road, Mail Station 3585, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2400, phone number (850) 245-8495. A person submitting comments or a request for public meeting to the Department should also provide a copy to the applicant. The com-ments or request for a public meeting must contain the information set forth below and must be received by the Department within 30 days of publication of this notice or within 30 days of receipt of written notice, whichever occurs first. Failure to submit comments or request a public meeting within this time period shall constitute a waiver of any right such person may have to submit comments or request a public meeting pursuant to Rule 62-620.555, F.A.C.

The comments or request for a public meeting must contain the following information:

(a) The commenting party name, address and telephone number, the applicant’s name and address, the Department Permit Number, and the county in which the Permittee is lo-cated;

(b) A statement of how and when the Notice of Proposed Renewal of Generic Permit Coverage and Request for Public Comment was received;

(c) A description of any changes the commenter proposes for the applicant’s proposed Phase II MS4 Stormwater Management Program [as described in Appendix A, DEP Form 62-621.300(7)(b), effective May 1, 2003];

(d) A full explanation of the factual and legal reasons for each proposed change to the applicant’s proposed Phase II MS4 Stormwater Management Program [as described in Ap-pendix A, DEP Form 62-621.300(7)(b), effective May 1, 2003] recommended by the com-menter; and

(e) If applicable, a request that a public meeting be scheduled including a statement of the nature of the issues proposed to be raised at the meeting. However, the Department may not always grant a request for a public meeting. Therefore, written comments should be submitted within 30 days of publication of this notice or within 30 days of receipt of written notice, whichever occurs first, even if a public meeting is requested.

If a public meeting is scheduled, the public comment period will be extended until the close of the public meeting. If a public meeting is held, any person may submit oral or written

statements and data at the meeting on the Department’s proposed action. As a result of sig-nificant public comment, the Department’s final action may be different from the position taken by it in the Notice of Proposed Renewal of Generic Permit Coverage and Request for Public Comment.

The permit application file and supporting data are available for public inspection during nor-mal business hours, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except legal holidays, by making arrangements with Sarah Ketron, Department of Environmental Protection, NPDES Stormwater Program, 2600 Blair Stone Road, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2400, phone number (850) 245-8495.
