It’s nearing home stretch time for candidates, who are pulling out the stops in hopes they walk away after the Aug. 18 primary either elected or advancing to the general election.

With two weeks before the election, already 12.8% of the county’s 133,033 regis-tered voters have cast bal-lots by mail, according to the Citrus County Supervi-sor of Elections website.

Early voting starts Satur-day, Aug. 7.

Candidate finance

reports for the primary are due each Friday and they cover the week prior. A re-view of candidate reports shows less fundraising and more spending in recent weeks as candidates target voter households.

The Chronicle last exam-ined reports through July 3.

Here are some highlights from the reports since then through Friday, July 31:

n Sheriff incumbent Mike Prendergast has the most collected of any local candidate — $142,051. But he has spent just over a third of that — $54,551. Of this total spending, $17,937

has come in the last month, much of it in consulting and mail pieces.

n Republican opponent Mel Eakley spent 40% of his $52,711 expenditures in the past four weeks, mainly in direct mail.

Aug. 18 primary will be make-or-break moment for many political hopefuls

Furniture sellers learn to adapt

Michael D. BatesStaff writer

There was a point toward the end of February when the coronavirus was starting to rear its ugly head and April Royal and RJ Cummins were

thinking seriously about get-ting out of the furniture business.

The year before they opened Resort Furniture Liquidators off State Road 44 in Lecanto. But when virus fears started ramping up, customer traffic

dwindled to a halt because peo-ple were hesitant to make big purchases, fearing an economic slowdown.

Not long after, they were forced by the state to shut the doors anyway, being a non- essential business.

Royal said she and Cummins had two choices: “We either close our business or we think outside the box.”

They chose the second option and are happy they did.

MATTHEW BECK/ChronicleRJ Cummins holds his son Roman Cummins, 17 months, as he stands with his wife April Royal with their newborn daughter Giada Cummins, 6 weeks.

a 17.8% jump from the 1,102 cases documented a week earlier on July 27.

From July 20 to July 27, the county witnessed a case increase of 28.8%, a lower rate increase over the 48.2% rise in cases a week beforehand.

Hospitalizations went from 99 to 121 between July 27 and Aug. 3, an in-crease of 22.2% compared to the 19.2% rise in hospi-tal visits from July 20 to July 27.

All Citrus deaths have occurred in those aged 45 and older. Death demo-graphics include: age 45-54, 1 (3%); age 55-64, 2 (7%); age 65-74, 4 (13%); age 75-84, 15 (50%); age 85-plus, 8 (27%).

Citrus’ long-term care facilities have reported 129 positive COVID-19 cases, and staff/residents in Citrus correctional fa-cilities have had 41 posi-tive cases.

According to CoreCivic, the Citrus County Deten-tion Facility’s manage-ment, and County Administrator Randy Oli-ver on Aug. 3, there has been no change in cases within jail staff and in-mate populations since July 27.

So far, three employees of the Citrus County

Detention Facility have tested positive for COVID-19. All three have recov-ered from the virus and have been medically cleared to return to work, according to CoreCivic Public Affairs Manager Ryan Gustin.

At 54.2% and 30%, 34436 and 34450 reported the highest surge in cases since last week.

Dunnellon-area women killed in car crash

Two Dunnellon-area women were killed Friday, July 31, 2020, in a single- vehicle crash in Columbia County, according to a Flor-ida Highway Patrol traffic report.

The women, ages 55 and 30, were both passengers in a 2001 Ford SUV that was traveling north on State Road 93, the report stated. For un-known reasons, troopers noted, the vehicle drifted off the road in a northerly direc-tion until it struck a tree with its front end.

The driver, a 54-year-old male, and the 30-year-old woman, the rear driver’s- side passenger, were air-lifted to Shands in Gaines-ville, according to the report. The 55-year-old woman was pronounced dead on scene by Columbia County Fire Rescue.

The report stated the 30-year-old woman was pro-nounced dead at 8:30 a.m. Saturday at Shands. The male was transported to the hospital in serious condi-tion, according to the report.

The report did not indi-cate if alcohol was a factor. The crash remains under investigation.

Due to Marsy’s Law, FHP is not releasing the names of the victims.

No Democrats on Citrus Primary Election ballotAs Vote by Mail ballots

are arriving at voters’ homes, there has been the question from many Democratic vot-ers — why are there all Re-publican candidates on my ballot? The answer is: There are no Democratic candi-dates in this primary election.

On the Citrus County Pri-mary ballot there are four races where all the candi-dates are Republican, which are County Commission Dis-trict 3, County Commission District 5, Superintendent of Schools and Supervisor of Elections. This is the only op-portunity voters will have to vote on these races. There will be no general election for these races. Therefore all voters, regardless of party af-filiation, have an opportunity to cast a vote.

The winners of these races will become the next District 3 and 5 County Com-missioners, Superintendent of Schools and Supervisor of Elections.

In the races for Sheriff and Property Appraiser, only Re-publicans will be voting in the primary because there are no party affiliation candidates for both offices and therefore the winner will be determined in the General Election on Nov. 3, 2020. The nonpartisan District 2 School Board race and the Circuit Court Judge race will be on all ballots.

The Citrus County Sheriff ’s Of-fice was awarded its fifth national accreditation Friday, July 31, 2020, by the Commission on Ac-creditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA). This accredi-tation process individually cov-ered the Law Enforcement and Communications aspects of the sheriff ’s office.

A multi-year self-assessment phase followed by a meticulous site-based assessment of each divi-sion took place where policies, procedures, equipment and facili-ties were evaluated by CALEA as-sessors. After the assessment was complete, CALEA’s 21-member Board of Commissioners reviewed

all findings and determined the agency’s accreditation status.

“Being accredited on the na-tional level shows our commit-ment to our mission in achieving excellence in public safety,” said Sheriff Mike Prendergast. “By continuously maintaining na-tional accreditation, this allows us to be ahead of the newly signed Presidential Executive Order on Safe Policing for Safe Communi-ties. Long before the assessment commenced, our outstanding team of professionals labored in-tensely to ensure that we met the gold standards established by CALEA. I am extraordinarily proud of our team for all of their hard work in achieving this out-standing milestone. “

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the usual CALEA Conference hearings and banquet, where agencies are formally awarded had to be cancelled. The Citrus County Sheriff ’s Office did, how-ever, go before the commission in an online webinar format.

“This award of accreditation does not come easy,” said CALEA President Anthony Purcell, chief of police, the University of Ala-bama at Birmingham Police De-partment. “Agencies must go through a rigorous review and evaluation of their organization and then implement the necessary policy and procedure changes. The process does not stop at that point. By voluntarily choosing to seek CALEA accreditation, the

agency commits to an ongoing re-view of adherence to CALEA’s standards. Each community with CALEA accredited agencies should feel confident that their public safety organization is going above and beyond and operating under the highest standards in public safety.”

The Citrus County Sheriff ’s Of-fice has been awarded reaccredita-tion, signifying excellence in public safety and commitment to the com-munity. This is the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office’s fifth award of na-tional accreditation for both the Law Enforcement and Communi-cations accreditations. The Citrus County Sheriff’s Office now moves into CALEA’s four-year Accredita-tion cycle. This includes four an-nual remotes, web-based file reviews and a site-based assess-ment in the fourth year.

The Nature Coast Vol-unteer Center (NCVC), a division of Citrus County Community Services De-partment and Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP), will host a 9/11 Cards and Let-ters to First Responders Project.

NCVC staff will collect cards and letters of en-couragement and appre-ciation from Citrus County residents that staff will deliver to first responders in our com-munity on Sept. 11, 2020. Cards and letters should be addressed to the Na-ture Coast Volunteer Cen-ter, 2804 W. Marc Knighton Court, Lecanto, FL, 34461, and can be written to first respond-ers at the Citrus County Sheriff ’s Office, Citrus County Fire Rescue,

Nature Coast EMS, Crys-tal River Police Depart-ment, Crystal River Fire Rescue and Inverness Fire Rescue.

This year marks the 19th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and has been designated as a National Day of Service and Re-membrance.

This day of service is a way to honor those who were lost and to rekindle the spirit of unity and compassion that followed the attacks.

Associated Press

TALLAHASSEE — Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried on Monday un-veiled a public awareness cam-paign urging Floridians to keep their distance and wear masks as a way to lower the risk of coronavi-rus infections in the latest pres-sure tactic aimed at Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis’ resistance to ordering a mandatory mask requirement.

“Not enough people are doing the small things to slow down COVID-19,“ said Fried, Florida’s only Democratic statewide office-holder, at a news conference in Tallahassee. “To reopen our state and our economy safely, we must all be in this together.”

The series of videos feature famous Flo-ridians, including the Miami Heat’s Alonzo Mourning, U.S. Rep. Donna Shalala and Miami Mayor Francis Suarez — a Republi-can. In a 16-second clip, Suarez is seen with his nose and mouth covered. He says he’s doing his “part by wearing a mask and keeping my distance,” and ends the spot with “be smart, Florida.”

Fried’s announcement came after De-Santis launched a series of videos meant to shore up his standing amid criticism over his handling of the pandemic. Critics have said DeSantis should have shut down the state sooner last spring as the virus was spreading and should order a mandatory

statewide mask requirement.On Friday, the governor’s office released

a video promoting “One Goal One Flor-ida,” a public service campaign that also urges Floridians to heed precautions.

“Now is not the time to let up,” DeSantis says into the camera. “We all have one goal as one state.”

The dueling initiatives underscore how the pandemic has also spread into the po-litical sphere.

DeSantis has been widely criticized for his handling of the pandemic, as Democrats and others have ques-tioned his every step — including his decision to not order a state-wide mask mandate and what Fried asserted were early missteps.

“If we had shut down earlier,” she said, “we wouldn’t be in this situation right now.”

Florida reported 73 additional deaths from the new coronavirus on Monday as the number of new cases increased by almost 4,800

people, health officials reported.As of Monday, Florida had a total of

491,884 coronavirus cases and around 7,200 related deaths.

However, testing sites in parts of Florida closed for several days at the end of last week as Tropical Storm Isaias threatened the state’s Atlantic Coast. Also, the number of new cases on Mondays tend to be smaller than other days of the weeks as some labs are closed and testing isn’t con-ducted at other facilities over the week-end. On many days last week, the number of reported new cases was around double Monday’s tally.

The reported deaths do not necessarily reflect the exact day in which the person died, and Florida had numbers as high as 257 new daily deaths late last week.

Swift nabs 7th No.1 album with ‘folklore’

NEW YORK — To no one’s surprise, Taylor Swift’s surprise album “folklore” is dominating the music charts.

Swift’s eighth album debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s 200 al-bums chart this week, marking the best first-week sales of the year and giving the pop star her seventh No. 1 title on the chart. According to Nielsen Music/MRC Data, the album sold 846,000 equivalent albums in the U.S. based on a combination of sales and streams.

The last album to sell more units in a single week? Swift’s “Lover” album, released last August.

The success makes Swift, 30, the first artist to have seven dif-ferent albums sell at least 500,000 albums in a single week. Swift dropped “folklore” in a surprise form, announcing the album’s release a day before it came out on July 24. It features production and songwriting work from The National’s Aaron Dess-ner and frequent collaborator Jack Antonoff.

With 289.85 million on-de-mand streams of its songs, “folk-lore” also marks the largest streaming week for an album by a female act this year. Swift is third overall, behind the powerful streaming efforts of Juice WRLD’s “Legends Never Die” and Lil Uzi Vert’s “Eternal Atake.”

“Folklore” was only released digitally, but will be available as a CD on Aug. 7. The album was sold with a number of merchan-dise bundles, packaged with cardigans, hoodies, T-shirts, cell phone cases and more. A digital version of “folklore” came with a purchase of one of the mer-chandise items, counting as an

album sale for Swift.

Pandemic parody of ‘Goodnight Moon’ to be released in fallNEW YORK — A popular on-

line spoof of the children’s favor-ite “Goodnight Moon,” reworked for the coronavirus, will be pub-lished by Penguin Random House this fall.

The Penguin imprint Philomel Books announced Monday that “Good Morning Zoom,” written by Lindsay Rechler and illus-trated by June Park, is sched-uled for Oct. 6. Currently self-published, “Good Morning Zoom” takes Margaret Wise Brown’s beloved bedtime story and turns it into a narrative about Zoom, bread baking, home

schooling and other familiar parts of life during the pandemic.

Rechler is a banking execu-tive and mother of two who lives in Manhattan. Park is a graphic designer and illustrator who lives in Brooklyn. All author net pro-ceeds will be donated to coronavi-rus relief charities.

“COVID-19 is a difficult topic, especially for young children,” Re-chler said in a statement. “I wanted to tell my children a relat-able story — a story that would help them become familiar with their new everyday lives and within that story, touch upon what was happening in the outside world. I thought a lot about the contrast between quarantining safely inside versus what was happening outside my window.”

Travis LoLLerAssociated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — For generations, school has been an opportunity for American children to learn and make friends. For many parents today, though, it’s something that’s elemental in a very different way: a safe place that cares for their children while they are at work — or a necessity for them to be able to work at all.

The outbreak of the coronavirus this year, and the upending of soci-ety it has produced, have caused these views of school in American life to collide in ways that have thrown millions of parental lives into disar-ray. Now, President Don-ald Trump is demanding that schools reopen in the fall. But with the virus resurging widely, many working parents see no good options.

“I don’t have the bene-fit of a husband or other family members to care for my son,” says Mi-chelle Brinson, who works full time for a Nashville nonprofit while raising her 11-year-old alone.

At 50, and with under-lying health conditions, Brinson says she is “terri-fied” of contracting COVID-19. She is worried that if her son goes back to school, he could bring the virus home to her. “If I’m dead or on a ventila-tor,“ she says, “what good am I to him?”

This isn’t the first time American schools have closed — or talked about it — because of an epi-demic. It happened in 1918 with the so-called Spanish Flu and in the 1930s and 1950s with polio outbreaks.

But the nature of school has changed fun-damentally since the 1950s, education histo-rian Jonathan Zimmer-man says. School used to teach basic skills and cit-izenship, but extensive schooling wasn’t neces-sary for many jobs.

“The whole structure of the economy changed postwar, and formal edu-cation became a prereq-uisite for self-sufficiency in a way it never had be-fore,” he said. Schools have also become de facto social service agen-cies, providing necessi-ties like free meals and mental health services.

That’s where the con-flict lies. To ask a parent — particularly one trying to parent alone — to work full time while su-pervising education and

daytime meals is a for-mula for stress and un-reasonable expectations.

In Florida and Texas, both states with spiking case numbers, officials are requiring school dis-tricts to offer in-person schooling to those who want it. Texas’ guidance for schools includes a recommendation to space desks six feet apart and, if that’s im-possible, “plan for more frequent hand washing and/or hand sanitizing” and “consider whether increased airflow from the outdoors is possible.”

That’s not good enough for Vicky Li Yip, whose children are 5, 8 and 10. She works from her Houston home, and says online schooling has been exhausting, even with her husband help-ing out. But with her city becoming a national hot spot, she has been con-sidering what it would mean for her children to face possible exposure every day.

“It brings tears to my eyes just to say it,” Li Yip said. “To think that I would have to tell the kids, when they see their grandparents: ‘You can’t hug them.’”

For Rebecca Witte, the experience of working from home while also helping her two children wrap up kindergarten and second grade from home is not one she wants to repeat.

As a spokeswoman for the Kansas Department of Corrections during a coronavirus outbreak that infected more than 900 inmates, she recalls her kids coming in screaming one day while she was being inter-viewed. Her husband, a school principal, shared the schooling responsi-bilities but was also busy helping teachers at his school shift to virtual learning.

“Trying to work, it was hard.” Witte said. “It will be interesting to see what the plan is in the fall. ...I am hopeful they won’t be home full time with me trying to teach and work.”

Before the virus, Brin-son says, she “went into work every single day, and my son went to school and he had after-care with the YMCA.” Brinson was totally un-prepared when schools closed in March.

She ended up taking her son into the office until she received per-mission to work from home. Now her em-ployer is pressuring her to come back in.

Back-to-school plans stress

working parents

It’s all in flux in the virus era

Associated PressIn Florida and Texas, both states with spiking case numbers, officials are requiring school districts to offer in-person schooling to those who want it. Vicky Li Yip, whose children are 5, 8 and 10, works from her Houston home, and says online schooling has been exhausting, even with her husband helping out.

Floridians to voluntarily follow four guidelines, in-cluding wearing a face mask anyplace there are other people.

“COVID-19 has been a significant challenge for all Floridians but I’m 100% confident we can, and will, overcome this challenge,” DeSantis said. “To that end, I’m asking all Floridians to join me in this important effort — ‘One Goal One Florida.’”

The urge-not-order “One Goal One Florida” initiative asks Floridians to follow four guidelines:

n Protect the vulnera-ble, including the elderly and those with underlying medical conditions;

n Practice proper hy-giene, including washing your hands;

n Practice social dis-tancing, avoid closed spaces, crowded places;

n Wear a mask anytime in close contact with others.

DeSantis issued his re-branded message as state health officials report ris-ing COVID-19 death counts and at least two recent polls

indicate the first-term gov-ernor’s popularity has plummeted since the onset of the pandemic in March.

The Florida Department of Health (DOH) COVID-19 dashboard Friday recorded 253 more coronavirus deaths over the previous 24-hour period. It marks the fourth straight day Florida broke its own single-day high in reported deaths. Since March, 6,966 people have died in Florida from the disease, according to the DOH.

DeSantis’ attempt to reset the state’s COVID-19 response with new mes-saging is a good idea if re-cent polls critical of the governor are accurate.

In a Mason-Dixon Poll-ing & Strategy survey of 625 registered Florida vot-ers released this week, 45% approve of DeSantis’ performance while 49% disapprove, a striking plummet in approval for the young governor who entered 2020 as the state’s most popular elected official.

In a December Mason- Dixon poll, 66% of respon-dents, including 40% of Democrats, approved of DeSantis’ performance while only 26% disapproved.

On July 6, they opened in a new, more visible location closer to In-verness, at 3802 East Gulf-to-Lake Highway (S.R. 44). The building has the same 2,000-square-foot selling floor but minus the voluminous warehouse space. They have a more manageable lease, less over-head and more foot traffic from being inside a strip mall: Times Square Plaza.

“We needed to find a location that was more affordable for our budget,” she said.

But perhaps the biggest change: they now have two businesses in one. They still have the liquidation part, where they obtain used furni-ture from area theme parks such as Disney World and big-name hotels.

But they also opened RJ’s Furni-ture Living, which features all new furniture with top brand names for those customers who were demand-ing it.

“We can offer something for every-one and cater to more people, “ she said. “It’s the best of both worlds.”

Royal said she and Cummins made out reasonably well during the two-month shutdown, thanks to virtual online buying, which has in-troduced into her business another profitable concept.

One downside is that what used to take four to six weeks to get in new furniture now takes up to 12 weeks, due to manufacturing plants being closed so long. It can be frus-trating for customers, but they un-derstand, she said.

They were forced to lay off their employees and take over the run-ning of the business themselves, but so far, it’s all working out. Royal is

also proud that her family-run place is locally owned and operated.

And for folks who are still ner-vous about visiting in person, cus-tomers can shop online. Royal and Cummins offer delivery service.

The furniture business nation-wide has taken a hit from COVID-19, but Royal said she and RJ are upbeat about the future. They took what could have been a crushing blow and turned it into a new busi-ness opportunity.

“We are really excited,” she said.Resort Furniture Liquidators

and RJ’s Furniture Living are at 3802 E. Gulf-to-Lake Highway (S.R. 44), in the Times Square Plaza (with the lime green roof). For more in-formation, visit www.rflcitrus.com or call 352-419-4440.

SPORTS BRIEFS

Tampa Bay claims 3-2 overtime victory

Associated Press

TORONTO — Nikita Kucherov scored a goal in the first period and the winner in the shootout to help the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Washington Capitals 3-2 on Monday in Eastern Conference round-robin play.

The teams played 5 minutes of 3-on-3 overtime before going to a shootout be-cause the games for seeding follow regu-lar-season rules. Tampa Bay’s win puts it in a tie with Philadelphia at two points apiece in the Eastern Conference race, while Washington is third with one and Boston fourth with zero.

“All around, I thought that was a play-off game,” Lightning winger Patrick Ma-roon said. “Obviously we’re trying to get as many points as we can to seed our-selves in a good position.”

Tampa Bay goaltender Andrei Vasile-vskiy stopped two of the three Capitals players he faced in the shootout after making 31 saves in regulation and overtime.

Before OT, Capitals winger Tom Wilson and Lightning center Anthony Cirelli ex-changed some words and shoves at the third-period buzzer. These teams can’t meet again until at least the second round, if not the East final.

“We were in their face,” Maroon said. “That was the kind of team we need to be, just to have the mentality to push back and not let them run around.”

After Kucherov’s goal opened the scor-ing, Mitchell Stephens made it 2-0 Light-ning in the second. The Capitals follow their regular-season blueprint by digging out of a hole and tying it on goals by Rich-ard Panik and Evgeny Kuznetsov before intermission.

“We were down 2-0 and we came back, so we showed our character,” Panik said. “Just from now on bring the ‘A’ game, bring our physicality and I think we’re going to be good.”

Hurricanes 4, Rangers 1TORONTO — Carolina’s Andrei Svechnikov

scored three times for the first postseason hat trick in franchise history and the Hurricanes beat the New York Rangers 4-1 on Monday for a 2-0 lead in the Stanley Cup qualifier series.

The Hurricanes have yet to trail in two games in Toronto and now have a chance to sweep the best-of-5 series.

Jets 3, Flames 2EDMONTON, Alberta — Nikolaj Ehlers

scored a third-period power-play goal to give

the Winnipeg Jets a 3-2 win over the Calgary Flames and draw even in their qualifying -round series.

Adam Lowry led the Jets with a goal and an assist in Game 2 of the best-of-five series.

Golden Knights 5, Stars 3EDMONTON, Alberta — Will Carrier scored

the tiebreaker with 5:12 left in the game, Robin Lehner had 24 saves and the Vegas Golden Knights beat the Dallas Stars 5-3 in Western Conference round-robin play.

Carrier backhanded a rebounded shot through the legs of Stars goaltender Ben

Bishop after the Knights rallied from a 3-1 third period deficit. Vegas scored three times in 5:02 to turn the game around, and added an empty-netter with 21 seconds left.

Chandler Stephenson, Mark Stone, Nate Schmidt and William Karlsson also scored for the Knights.

Vegas picks up two points in this week’s tournament to determine seeding in the next round of the playoffs.

Joe Pavelski, Jamie Oleksiak and Corey Perry scored for Dallas, and Bishop had 28 saves.

VanVleet finished 7 of 12 from be-yond the 3-point arc and was a per-fect 13 of 13 from the foul line, besting his 34-point total against the Pelicans last December.

Goran Dragic had 25 points for the Heat.

Pacers 111, Wizards 100LAKE BUENA VISTA — T.J. Warren

kept up his red-hot restart with 34 more points, helping the Indiana Pacers pull away from the Washington Wizards for a 111-100 victory.

Thomas Bryant had 20 points and 11 rebounds for the Wizards, who fell to 0-3 at Disney.

Nuggets 121, Thunder 113 OT

LAKE BUENA VISTA — Michael Por-ter Jr. scored a career-high 37 points and Nikola Jokic had a triple-double to help the Denver Nuggets top the Oklahoma City Thunder 121-113 in overtime.

Jokic had 30 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 24 points, Chris Paul had 23 and Danilo Gallinari added 20 for the Thunder.

Pelicans 109, Grizzlies 99LAKE BUENA VISTA — Brandon In-

gram scored 24 points and the New Or-leans Pelicans got a much-needed 109-99 victory over the Memphis Griz-zlies despite another Zion Williamson shoe incident.

Williamson had 23 points, seven re-bounds and tied a career high with five assists in his most extensive playing time since returning to the NBA bubble.

Williamson drove the lane in the third quarter and landed awkwardly, losing his left shoe. However, the big man quickly put the shoe back on and remained in the game. It brought back memories of when the then-Duke freshman sensation injured his knee in February 2019 when his foot ripped through the side of his shoe as he attempted to plant his foot.

Jaren Jackson Jr. had 22 points for the Grizzlies, who fell to 0-3 since the NBA restart.

76ers 132, Spurs 130LAKE BUENA VISTA — Shake Milton

made a go-ahead 3-pointer with 7.2 sec-onds remaining and the Philadelphia 76ers beat the San Antonio Spurs 132-130.

Joel Embiid had 27 points and nine re-bounds for the 76ers, finishing the scor-ing with a free throw with 0.4 seconds to play.

DeMar DeRozan scored 13 of his 30 points in the fourth quarter for San Antonio. Rudy Gay scored a season- high 24 points and Derrick White added 20.

AMERICAN LEAGUE NATIONAL LEAGUE ROUNDUP/MATCHUPSMets 7, Braves 2: Jacob deGrom struck out a season-high 10 in six in-nings and the New York Mets snapped a five-game skid Monday night with a 7-2 victory over the Atlanta Braves, who sustained a huge blow when ace Mike Soroka was helped off the field with right leg injury. Soroka is out for the season after tearing his right Achilles.It was a brutal night physically both teams. Robinson Canó had three RBIs before leaving the game himself — one of three New York infielders who went down with injuries. N.Y. Yankees 6, Philadelphia 3: Phil-adelphia returned from a weeklong layoff caused by additional coronavi-rus testing with a matchup against baseball’s hottest pitcher, and Gerrit Cole won his debut in pinstripes for his 19th consecutive regular season victory to lead the New York Yankees over the Phillies 6-3.

DJ LeMahieu led off the bottom of the first with a home run off Jake Arrieta (0-1), who made his first appearance since surgery last August to remove a bone spur from his right elbow. Chicago Cubs 2, Kansas City 0: Kris Bryant homered in his return to the lineup and Alec Mills pitched seven effective innings, helping the Chicago Cubs beat the Kansas City Royals 2-0 for their fourth consecutive win. Javier Báez had a sacrifice fly and a nice play in the field as NL Cen-tral-leading Chicago improved to 8-2 for the first time since 2016. Bryant also doubled in the first after missing two games with a stomach ailment. LATEChicago White Sox at MilwaukeePittsburgh at MinnesotaOakland at SeattleSan Francisco at ColoradoL.A.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

Associated PressNew York Mets catcher Wilson Ramos gestures as he rounds the bases after hitting a two-run home run in the fifth inning Monday against the Atlanta Braves in Atlanta.

THIS DATE IN BASEBALL1884 - Pud Galvin pitched the most

lopsided no-hitter in major league his-tory as the Buffalo Bisons routed the Detroit Wolverines 18-0. It is the sec-ond career no-hitter for Galvin.

1910 — Jack Coombs of the Phila-delphia A’s and Ed Walsh of the Chi-cago White Sox hooked up in a 16-inning scoreless tie. Coombs struck out 18 and allowed three hits.

1953 — New York’s Vic Raschi set a record for a pitcher by driving in seven runs in a 15-0 win over the Detroit Ti-gers. Raschi singled in two in the sec-ond inning, doubled in three in the third, and singled home the last two in the eighth.

1963 — New York’s Mickey Mantle, batting for the first time in two months after breaking his left foot, hit a pinch home run as the Yankees beat the Bal-timore Orioles 11-10 for a split of a doubleheader.

1982 — Joel Youngblood became the first player in major league history to play and get a base hit for two differ-ent teams in two different cities in the same day. In the afternoon, his hit drove in the winning run for the New

York Mets in a 7-4 victory at Chicago. After the game, he was traded to the Montreal Expos and played that night in Philadelphia. He entered the game in right field in the fourth inning and later got a single.

1985 — Tom Seaver, 40, became the 17th 300-game winner in major league history with a six-hitter — all singles — as the Chicago White Sox defeated the New York Yankees 4-1 on Phil Rizzuto Day. Seaver walked one and struck out seven, giving him 3,499 in his 19-year career.

1985 — Rod Carew of the California Angels got his 3,000th hit in a 6-5 win over the Minnesota Twins, his first major league team.

1989 — Dave Stieb of the Toronto Blue Jays, who lost consecutive no-hit bids with two outs in the ninth inning last September, came within one out of a perfect game before settling for a two-hit 2-1 victory over the New York Yankees. Roberto Kelly’s double spoiled Stieb’s bid.

7 Cardinals, 6 staff test positive; Detroit series offNEW YORK — Seven St. Louis Cardinals

players and six staff members tested posi-tive for COVID-19, causing Major League Baseball to postpone the team’s four-game series at Detroit.

The series was to have been played at Comerica Park from Tuesday through Thursday.

St. Louis has been in quarantine since Thursday in Milwaukee, where the Cardinals’ series last weekend was postponed, and the team is being tested daily.

St. Louis last played July 29 at Minnesota and is tentatively set to resume its schedule this Friday at home against the Chicago Cubs.

The Cardinals are the second team side-lined by the novel coronavirus since the sea-son started July 23.

Field of Dreams game in Iowa postponed to 2021

NEW YORK — Major League Baseball’s Field of Dreams game in Iowa has been postponed until 2021 because of the novel coronavirus.

The game at a newly constructed ballpark

on the cornfield adjacent to the site of the 1989 movie had been scheduled for Aug. 13 in Dyersville.

The Chicago White Sox originally had been set to host the New York Yankees. When MLB remade its schedule following the delayed start to the season, the St. Louis Cardinals became the opponent.

MLB will keep the White Sox as one of the teams for the game next year. The other team has not been determined.

Indians manager Francona not with team in CincinnatiCLEVELAND — Cleveland Indians man-

Francona was scheduled for an exam at the Cleveland Clinic to address his medical condition. He was forced to return to the team’s hotel on Sunday in Minneapolis as the Indians completed their first road trip of 2020 and a three-game series with the Twins.

First-base coach Sandy Alomar filled in for the 61-year-old Francona, who is in his eighth season with Cleveland.

BASEBALL BRIEFS

Associated Press

NEW YORK — Stocks started August with more gains, and a worldwide rally on Monday sent Wall Street back to where it was just a couple days after it set its record earlier this year.

The S&P 500 tacked 0.7% more onto its four-month winning streak, and Big Tech once again led the way. The index rose 23.49 points to 3,294.61 to get within 3% of its record for the first time since February.

The Dow Jones Indus-trial Average rose 236.08 points, or 0.9%, to 26,664.40. The gains for tech stocks, particularly Microsoft and Apple, pushed the Nasdaq com-posite up 157.52, or 1.5%, to 10,902.80, another record.

Helping to launch mar-kets higher were reports showing manufacturing activity strengthened across Europe in July by more than economists ex-pected. The gains built higher after a separate re-port showed U.S. manu-fac tur ing growth accelerated last month at a faster pace than econo-mists expected.

The data added to evi-dence that the global

economy halted its freefall from earlier this year, at least temporarily. Earlier on Monday, a private sur-vey showed China’s manu-facturing activity also grew at a faster rate in July than expected.

Such budding improve-ments have helped the S&P 500 nearly erase its pandemic-caused plunge, which had reached nearly 34% at one point. So have massive amounts of aid for the economy from the Fed-eral Reserve.

In Washington, mean-while, slow, grinding nego-tiations on another huge relief effort for the U.S. economy are ongoing. Both the Trump adminis-tration negotiating team and top Capitol Hill Dem-ocrats reported progress over the weekend, though differences remain.

The discussions have taken on more urgency be-cause $600 in weekly ben-efits for laid-off workers from the federal govern-ment have expired, just as the number of layoffs ticks up across the country amid a resurgence of coro-navirus counts and busi-ness restrictions.

The continued spread of the coronavirus is raising worries that the economy could backslide again and snuff out the budding

improvements it’s shown. The shakeout from the pandemic took down two more big retailers over the weekend, with Lord & Tay-lor and the owner of Men’s Wearhouse both filing for bankruptcy protection on Sunday.

Through the pandemic, though, Big Tech has re-mained almost immune to such concerns on expecta-tions that it can continue to grow.

Microsoft jumped 5.6% Monday after it confirmed that it’s in talks to buy the U.S. arm of TikTok, a Chinese-owned video app that is very popular but has also drawn the White House’s scrutiny. Micro-soft said its CEO, Satya Nadella, has talked with President Donald Trump about it, and the tech giant expects the talks with Tik-Tok to end no later than Sept. 15, either with a deal or not.

Apple added 2.5%, piling more gains onto its 10.5% rise Friday following a blowout report showing that its profits during the spring easily topped Wall Street’s expectations.

“Earnings from tech companies were great, so we have the all-clear to buy the sector,” said Jason Brady, CEO at Thornburg Investment Management.

Stocks surge into record territory

Clorox reported booming sales last quarter as people loaded up on cleaning products to battle the coronavirus outbreak.

The Oakland, Calif.-based company said sales rose 22% during its fiscal fourth quarter and 8% during fiscal 2020. While acknowledging ongoing uncertainty with regard to COVID-19, Clorox said it expects demand for its cleaning and disinfectant products to remain elevated, with flat to low single-digit increase in sales

projected in 2021. “Our focus now is building on this

momentum, investing aggressively in brand-building and category growth as well as in production capacity to meet heightened demand,” said CFO Kevin Jacobsen.

Clorox also appointed Linda Rendle as the new CEO effective Sept. 14.

Clorox shares fell 1.9% to $231.96 on Monday, still near record highs.

EOC takeover will cost the public

There is an old adage, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Our fine county commissioners seem to have a problem even with something that simple.

During Jeff Dawsy’s reign as sheriff he was busy creat-ing his empire. He used his vote power to persuade one commission to turn over the Emergency Operations Cen-ter to his total control, then he took over the fire service and animal control. Interest-ing all of these operations were under the county and running just fine.

The current commission took back the fire service after Dawsy retired and his political power was no longer a threat. This transfer from the county to the sheriff back to the county cost us tax pay-ers substantially.

Now this commission wants to undo the former commis-sions decision to place the EOC under the sheriff and re-turn control to the county. In-teresting they acknowledge it is well run and the main problem was Scott Carnahan had to sit in a waiting room during an emergency and did not get his ego inflated that day.

Political power struggles may be good for the self- esteem of the elected offi-cials, but it costs the taxpay-ers every time they make a change.

The fact is the sheriff is a constitutional office and as such is the chief law enforce-ment officer of the county, with far-reaching authority during an emergency. The EOC is an intricate part of the sheriff ’s dispatch as well as fire and EMS, all part of the emergency team.

I was part of the emergency response team as Crystal River Police Chief. At that time, the county and sheriff shared the EOC and worked well together. We had a 911 user committee made up of all players in emergency re-sponse. I saw very little change when it was placed under the sheriff other than the civilian position of Emer-gency Operations Director was eliminated and consoli-dated under the sheriffs cap-tain overseeing the sheriffs dispatch.

In any disaster situation, the fewer players giving or-ders the less confusion and the safer the public. This change the commission is doing is just plain politics and is going to cost the public in dollars, and very possibly the loss of human life and property.

Maybe they could focus on real issues like the virus, un-employment and mental health and leave emergency management to the professionals.

Mini Farms road need work

For over 30 years, my family has lived in the Mini Farms neighborhood off of County Road 495. It is a pleasant place, varying from your roll-ing, green hills description to high pine scrub forest. Retir-ees come to our neighbor-hood seeking the refuge of peace and quiet and young families to have a place to raise their children in the idyllic country setting. But a pressing problem has existed indefinitely, marring our way of life. It is the poor quality of our roads, and it is only get-ting worse with each passing year.

With more and more people seeking residence in the Mini Farms, our lime rock highway through the heart of the neighborhood, is subjected to heavy traffic, literally with the regular passing of deliv-ery trucks and other large commercial vehicles. Pot-holes you could lose a hand in form and are only made deeper with the comings and

goings and cycle of rains. All of this makes passage misera-ble for all concerned and, as you can imagine, takes a heavy toll on our vehicles.

We residents see a hired grader working in new lime rock about every month or two if we are lucky; some-times in the past, we have not seen one for months, but with the first rain, the material is promptly washed away, forc-ing us to bear bumps and washboard and flying dust during dry spells until the next load of doomed rock is brought in. The dust cannot be good for our wildlife and environment.

Country roads are bumpy, yes. If properly maintained, they can be livable. But we are dealing with a road that you have to swerve to the other side, to avoid a barrage of holes, some 6 inches or deeper and 1 foot across every other rotation in the worst areas. Our voices as members of the Mini Farms Property Association con-tinue to fall on deaf ears. We are forced to endure a per-petual driving purgatory in order to commute to our jobs and make necessary trips to town for supplies. In short, I am publicly petitioning that the Mini Farm Property Asso-ciation hear our pleas to do something about our road sit-uation with lasting positive results. Pave our unfinished sections of roads. Hire a grader who knows what they are doing to lay the down lime rock. Just please some-one do something.

Commissioners need to step up

Another open letter to Com-missioners Ron Kitchen, Scott Carnahan, Jimmie T. Smith, and Jeff Kinnard.

How many cases does Cit-rus need to have before the four of you get off of your col-lective duffs and join Com-missioner Brian Coleman and vote to require masks. With an apology to Chronicle pub-lisher Gerry Mulligan for bor-rowing his Poop in the Shoe tagline, you four commission-ers deserve the Poop in the Shoe. Even though Citrus has only 20 deaths due to COVID-19, the number of positive cases continues to rapidly grow. This is not the flu and long-term damage can occur when one is infected with this virus.

Why your hesitation? Why the delay? I left a store yes-terday because two men, both without masks, were practi-cally leaning on the deli case at Publix in Sugarmill Woods. It is not fair to place the re-sponsibility of mask enforce-ment solely on store managers or workers which is the case as there is no clear and uniform voice from the county commission. What does it take for you to do what is necessary to help slow this COVID-19 spread and do your part in keeping Citrus citi-zens safe — citizens whom you purport to represent. We turn to you for assistance as we continue to be leaderless at the state level.

Think before casting your vote

As we go to the polls in Au-gust ...

Remember who limited your lawful access to the news when they ignored the advice of our county libraries to add a digital version of the New York Times to their col-lection because that particu-lar source of information disagreed with the commis-sioners’ own viewpoints.

Remember the county com-missioners who refused to talk to the Chronicle because the Chronicle didn’t report the news the way the commis-sioners approved.

Remember who didn’t do the simple task of issuing a countywide mask mandate to protect the citizens of the county from the coronavirus, leaving that decision up to in-dividuals and businesses throughout the county and thus condemning to death at least 23 of our county resi-dents and triggering the in-fection of over 1,100.

Remember who has suc-cessfully led the county schools, guaranteeing that our students receive the strong education they so richly deserve.

Remember who has the ex-perience to continue the suc-cessful running of the office of the supervisor of elections. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!

Remember who has the real experience to assure that your home or business is properly and honestly assessed.

Remember who has led a successful fight against drugs and their proliferation in our county.

Remember if you decide to vote by mail, do it early so your vote can arrive and be counted without the risk of missing the 7 p.m. deadline in the elections office on Elec-tion Day.

Remember!

Recently, I was in CMH twice in one month, and was taken care of by some wonderful nurses, nurse’s assistants and sitters who were amazing and truly cared about the patients under their care. They have a difficult job, dealing with nasty patients or those who are dis-oriented, not to mention those who are dying.

I’m ecstatic that there was coverage of them because I don’t think they get enough credit for what they do.

Doctors are amazing but in hospitals they come in for five or 10 minutes, place orders and for the rest of the time we are taken care of by nurses, nursing assistants and sitters. They are the backbone of the system in hospitals. Again, thank you for the coverage.

The hurry to open schools

I am alarmed at Florida government’s hurry to open the schools. The CDC says schools must social distance, children and staff wear masks and open-air ventilation must happen, plus ultraviolet light applied at night in classrooms to kill the virus. I do not think the schools would do all of the above.

I taught school for 25 years and you can not keep small children from touching, shar-ing with each other with heads close. Little ones are very so-cial and what about recess time? You would need hun-dreds of school staff with SS of-ficer’s personalities to stop contact between students.

DOWNTOWN INVERNESS

City of Inverness makes correct

decision to protect historic district

With gas stations con-tinuing to dot the map throughout Cit-

rus County, the Inverness City Council took a step to-ward making sure they don’t become a fixture in its Historic Downtown area.

Recently, coun-cil members unanimously ap-proved the first reading of an amendment to the land develop-ment code that prohibits gas sta-tions from the central business district. The ordinance also requires approval from the city’s zon-ing board to build a gas sta-tion with five or more pumps.

Is the city council’s setting of standards for new gas sta-tions an overreaction?

Most certainly not.It would be hard to say

“small town done right” if it were boundary-to-boundary gas stations, particularly when Inverness is trying so desperately to become the ul-timate walkable-bikable town.

What gives Inverness a sense of small-town

ambience is its heritage. Staff and council have shown foresight by endeavoring to protect the historical area.

Without limits on gas sta-tions, the historic district

could become lit-tered with multi-bay stations. As it stands now, we have empty sta-tions and empty lots where gas stations once were, which have become aban-doned eyesores in and around the city.

It’s good that City Manager Eric Williams and council members are taking leader-ship on this issue.

We need to be careful, however, to make sure there are enough operating out-side downtown in both pri-mary hurricane evacuation sides of town.

The measures are reason-able because it doesn’t ban them outright, but, instead, sets standards that would discourage those companies only interested in making a quick buck and not becom-ing a part of the community.

THE ISSUE:Inverness votes to limit gas stations.

OUR OPINION:Good decision to protect historical

downtown.

Wear a mask at your business

Every week I read in the paper, “Support small businesses.” As retired small-business owners ourselves, they are our first choice; but we are forced to go to chains in Citrus County be-cause most small busi-nesses are not requiring masks. The chains are doing the right thing — putting customers and employees first. Come on, small businesses, wake up.

Grateful for honest people

I was reading a Sound Off message (“Thanks for turning in phone,” July 15, 2020, Page A14). My name is Marie. I dropped off a phone at Walmart that I found in Walmart in one of the aisles. Someone responded — didn’t even know my name — and said thank you. This world is so full of people that either walk away, turn their eyes or don’t care. You know, life

matters. I’m so glad and grate-ful she got her phone back. I’m so happy for that. I’m so grate-ful. Just let them know we’re

all in this together. It doesn’t matter how lit-tle you could do of something. Don’t turn a blind eye on things that you know to do right. So that’s what I did and I hope I made a difference. Just let them know I’m glad, I’m grateful and I’m so glad they have their phone back. God

bless.

Stop complaining, vote them out

OK, to everyone that’s com-plaining — I even complain my-self — about the county commissioners, the sheriff and etc.: Now is the time when you can vote them out and vote new people in. Now is the time to do it. I’m going to vote for my choice. So those of you who are complaining, now is the time to vote and get out there and do what you have to do. Now is the time.

Prendergast right man for the jobAn endorsement from

Kevin Kelly, why not? I know a thing or two about law enforcement. It was my profession and my life’s work. After all, ’tis the season for en-dorsements, especially Sheriff of Citrus County.

Recently, I had an op-portunity to meet and lis-ten to the four Republican candidates for sheriff. They were all pleasant, knowledgeable and each had a distinct vision for the future of law enforce-ment in our county. I thought we are fortunate to have these individuals willing to serve.

After a lengthy question-and-answer session, I came away with a distinct feeling for one of the candidates, Sheriff Mike Prender-gast, is truly the most qualified individual for the office of sheriff. Now the Chronicle thinks

otherwise, but who are the members of the edi-torial staff and what is their background to judge the qualifications of the sheriff? You decide.

Sheriff Prendergast’s military record has been cited by his opponents in a negative light. Really! In the most heavily pop-ulated county for veter-ans, one should question this tactic. Mike Pren-dergast’s record as a col-onel military police commander with ex-traordinary experience in planning, personnel management, utilization of assets is superlative. He and his wife Naomi are truly invested in our community. He has earned and deserves to be re-elected sheriff.

For my part, I spent 34 years in law enforcement in New York and Penn-sylvania, 15 of those years as chief of police. My wife and I will be proud to cast our votes

for Mike Prendergast. I hope you will too!

Larry NeumeisterAssociated Press

NEW YORK — A Man-hattan prosecutor trying to get President Donald Trump’s tax returns told a judge Monday that he was justified in demanding them, citing public reports of “extensive and pro-tracted criminal conduct a t t h e Tr u m p Organization.”

Trump’s lawyers last month said the grand jury subpoena for the tax re-turns was issued in bad faith and amounted to ha-rassment of the president.

Manhattan District At-torney District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance, Jr. seeks eight years of the Republi-can president’s personal and corporate tax records, but has disclosed little about what prompted him to request the records, other than part of the in-vestigation relates to pay-offs to women to keep them quiet about alleged affairs with Trump.

In a court filing Monday, though, attorneys for Vance said Trump’s argu-ments that the subpoena was too broad stemmed from “the false premise”

that the probe was limited to so-called “hush-money” payments.

“This Court is already aware that this assertion is fatally undermined by un-disputed information in the public record,” Vance’s lawyers wrote. They said that information confirms the validity of a subpoena seeking evidence related to potentially improper fi-nancial transactions by a variety of individuals and entities over a period of years.

They said public report-ing demonstrates that at the time the subpoena was issued “there were public allegations of possible criminal activity at Plain-tiff ’s New York Coun-t y - b a s e d T r u m p Organization dating back over a decade.”

“These reports describe transactions involving in-dividual and corporate ac-tors based in New York County, but whose conduct at times extended beyond New York’s borders. This possible criminal activity occurred within the appli-cable statutes of limita-tions, particularly if the transactions involved a continuing pattern of

conduct,” the lawyers said. The lawyers urged

Judge Victor Marrero to swiftly reject Trump’s

arguments, saying the baseless claims were threatening the investiga-tion. Marrero, who ruled

against Trump last year, has scheduled arguments to be fully submitted by mid-August.

Southern California wildfire keeps on ragingBANNING, Calif. — A

huge wildfire in mountains east of Los Angeles that is Southern California’s big-gest blaze so far this year was still raging Monday, with thousands of people forced to evacuate their homes.

The blaze in Riverside County, among several wildfires across California, had consumed more than 41 square miles of dry brush and timber since it broke out Friday evening, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

As of Monday morning, it was just 5% contained and the fire along with coronavi-rus precautions made for added stress at an evacua-tion center, said John Medina, an American Red Cross spokesman.

Investigators are trying to determine the cause of the blaze that began as two ad-jacent fires in Cherry Valley, a rural area near the city of Beaumont, about 85 miles east of downtown Los Angeles.

3 Wyoming sightseeing

balloons crashCHEYENNE, Wyo. —

Three sightseeing balloons crashed Monday in a popu-lar western Wyoming tourist destination, injuring be-tween 16 and 20 people, of-ficials said.

The balloons owned by the same tour operator went down separately and did not crash into each other, said Teton County Sheriff Matt Carr.

Weather apparently con-tributed to the crashes but exactly what happened wasn’t known and was still being investigated, Carr said.

At least one person was flown to a hospital in Idaho Falls for treatment, Carr said.

Afghan forces retake prison after attack

JALALABAD, Afghani-stan — Militants affiliated with the Islamic State group stormed a prison in eastern Afghanistan in a daylong siege that left at least 39 people dead, including the assailants, and freed nearly 400 of their fighters before security forces restored order, a government official said Monday.

At least 10 of the dead were IS militants involved in the assault to free their comrades from the prison in Jalalabad, the capital of Nangarhar province, said Ajmal Omar, a provincial council member.

The rest of the dead were believed to be prisoners, ci-vilians and Afghan forces, although no official break-down was given.

Parents struggle as schools reopenAmid coronavirus

surge concernsJeff amy aNd deNise Lavoie

Associated Press

DALLAS, Ga. — Putting your child on the bus for the first day of school is always a leap of faith for a parent. Now, on top of the usual worries about youngsters adjust-ing to new teachers and class-mates, there’s COVID-19.

Rachel Adamus was feeling those emotions Monday morning as she got 7-year-old Paul ready for his first day of second grade and prepared 5-year-old Neva for the start of kindergarten.

With a new school year begin-ning this week in some states, Ada-mus struggled to balance her fears with her belief that her children need the socialization and instruc-tion that school provides, even as the U.S. death toll from the coro-navirus has hit about 155,000 and cases are rising in numerous places.

As the bus pulled away from the curb in Adamus’ Dallas, Georgia, neighborhood, the tears finally began to fall.

“We have kept them protected for so long,” said Adamus, who said her aunt died from COVID-19 in Alabama and her husband’s great uncle succumbed to the virus in a New Jersey nursing home. “They haven’t been to restaurants. We only go to parks if no one else is there. We don’t take them to the grocery store. And now they’re going to be in the

classroom with however many kids for an entire day with a teacher.”

The Adamus children are among tens of thousands of stu-dents across the nation who were set to resume in-person school Monday for the first time since March. Parents in Louisiana, Mis-sissippi and Tennessee will also be among those navigating the new academic year this week.

Many schools that are resuming in-person instruction are also

giving parents a stay-at-home vir-tual option; Adamus, like many other parents, decided against that. Other schools are planning a hybrid approach, with youngsters alternating between in-person classes and online learning.

But an uptick in COVID-19 cases in many states has prompted dis-tricts to scrap in-person classes at least for the start of the school year, including Los Angeles, Phila-delphia and Washington.

President Donald Trump and

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos have urged schools to reopen. However, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious-disease ex-pert, warned Monday: “There may be some areas where the level of virus is so high that it would not be prudent to bring the children back to school.”

“So you can’t make one state-ment about bringing children back to school in this country. It depends on where you are,” he said.

Recently, a devoted reader contacted me and asked if I could comment on the

risk of COVID-19 in patients who have an autoimmune disorder.

While this is not di-rectly tied to a cancer- related topic, it is worth discussing as we navigate this virus and all of the unknowns that go along with it.

First of all, if you have an autoimmune condition, you need to know you’re at greater risk for COVID-19 complica-tions. But do you know why, and do you know how to lower your risk? Let’s take a look at this complicated issue.

Autoimmune diseases develop

when your body releases autoan-tibodies, that when attacking an infection are helpful, but in these disorders, they attack

healthy cells as if they were foreign bacteria or viruses.

Your body actually turns on itself, attack-ing your cells as if they are an outside invader.

Now realize, there are over 100 different autoimmune disor-ders, depending on which cells are being attacked.

An autoimmune disorder can develop into diseases such as

Sjogren’s disease, lupus, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative coli-tis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoria-sis, multiple sclerosis,

Hashimoto’s disease, Celiac dis-ease and type 1 diabetes.

Autoimmune diseases widely differ in the health problems they cause. But they have one thing in common, an overactive immune system that is attacking normal cells of our bodies.

Remember, our immune sys-tem is vital to health, a healthy immune system protects healthy cells when a foreign in-vader enters the body, such as an infection caused by bacteria, fungi, parasites, viruses or in some circumstances when other toxins enter our bodies.

Your body fights these invad-ers with a two-pronged ap-proach. These two approaches are called innate immunity and specific immunity.

This can be difficult to under-stand, so here goes my attempt at a simple explanation.

Innate immunity is what we’re born with — blame your parents if yours is not in good shape, and innate immunity includes your skin and other barriers as well as certain types of white blood cells called phagocytes that re-spond when those barriers are breached.

A phagocyte surrounds the pathogen, and just like Pac Man, takes it in and gobbles it up, basically neutralizing the invader.

Specific immunity is differ-ent, it develops over time and is adaptable to address pathogens, diseases that we do not have the innate ability to fight. That is, we develop antibodies and such to fight new disease processes as we are exposed to them or vaccinated to prevent them.

COVID-19 has been tough on us. Isolation, fear of infection and the confusing debate that has gone on over the scientific as-

pects of the virus are making us crazy.None of us is immune to the negative

social impact of our situation, and espe-cially not individuals living with dementia, their families and their care partners.

Think you have it tough? How would you like it if the only contact with your loved one locked down in a mem-ory care facility is to try to speak to them on a cell phone while waving and smiling through a window?

This is emotionally diffi-cult for those of us with un-impaired thinking processes, so imagine how confusing it must be for your loved one who is living with dementia.

The challenges of COVID-19 have been a frequent topic within the care partner support groups I facilitate on-line each week. So, recently I began to suggest a technique that I have seen

work time and again: Make a gratitude list, or write a letter of gratitude to someone you know.

That’s it, you say? A gratitude list when everything in my life seems to have gone to hell?

Yes. In fact, those times when we seem to have the least to be grateful for are the best times to identify and talk about the positive things in our lives. This is not some kind of new-age, rose-colored-glasses mind game. There is real sci-ence behind it.

Neuropsychologists have studied the effects of positive thinking for about 20 years now, and time and again the research shows that the ac-tive practice of gratitude re-leases dopamine and serotonin in the brain. These are the chemicals that make

us feel good.Not only is it momentarily beneficial,

but over time it creates a systemic pro-cess where positive thoughts generate these beneficial chemicals, and the

beneficial chemicals lead to more posi-tive thoughts that may help you become a better care partner for your individual living with dementia.

World religions have known this for eons. They call it prayer; not the prayer when we ask for what we want, but the prayer when we give thanks for what we have.

Try it. Your first gratitude list may seem hard to do, and it may contain only one or two items. That’s OK. This is a qualitative process, not a quantitative exercise.

Think about those one or two items you are grateful for. When you least ex-pect it, that dopamine and serotonin may kick in, and suddenly your list gets a little longer. The only thing you have to lose is your unhappy thoughts.

Modern medicine began taking off in the 1960s, and the

availability of coverage and employee-based health insurance helped expand medical care to the masses. Fast forward to 2020: Our costs are sky-rocketing and might trig-ger rationing of cost and care.

For example, in the 1960s, we were mainly dealing with acute prob-lems, infections and sur-geries, to name a few. However, chronic disease started being recognized as treatable and that in-cluded heart disease, can-cer and stroke.

Here are some numbers to consider when thinking about delivery of health care.

The United States had a population of 180 million, the median age was 29.5 years, the national debt for medical care was $27.2 billion ($146/person/per year) which rep-resents 5% of the (GNP) gross domestic product.

Hospital stays were be-tween 9-14 days on aver-age and included convalescing. Nowadays, the nation’s population is approximately 330 mil-lion, national debt for medical care is $3. 5 tril-lion, which ends up being about $10,739 per person per year and represents 17.9% of GNP.

Pretty impressive num-bers and change.

Arguably, we are living longer, healthier lives but it does come at a cost. We are treating millions of patients for preventable diseases that are related to alcohol, tobacco, drug use, obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease, to name a few.

It is possible if we change the way we view and treat these prevent-able diseases we might avoid rationing of care.

Rationing of care has several different types in-cluding: rationing of ac-cess, by cost, by restriction or by long waits typical of socialized medicine in Canada and Europe.

Allocating resources can lead to different dis-crepancies of care that certain groups of individ-uals can and will receive. Something will need to be done, as we project 4-5% yearly increases in health care costs over the next decade or so.

Hope lies in the fact that scientific and clinical advances over the past few decades will provide assistance to avoid rationing.

Big data, artificial intel-ligence, machine learn-ing, genetics and precision evidence-based medicine therapies may provide some help.

Research and scientific advances will emerge but they do so at a cost, so not having to treat prevent-able diseases will help.

Other factors will help and arguably avoid us having to deal with ra-tioning. They include the waste in health care, prices of drugs and

Can you get the corona-virus twice?

Scientists don’t know for sure yet, but they be-lieve it’s unlikely.

Health experts think people who had COVID-19 will have some immu-nity against a repeat infection.

But they don’t know how much protection or

how long it would last.There have been re-

ports of people testing positive for the virus weeks after they were be-lieved to have recovered, leading some to think they may have been reinfected.

More likely, experts say people were suffering from the same illness or the tests detected rem-nants of the original

infection. There’s also the chance tests could have been false positives.

Scientists say there has been no documented in-stance of a patient spreading the virus to others after retesting positive.

With similar viruses, studies have shown that people could fall sick again three months to a year after their first

infections. It’s still too early to know whether that’s also possible with the coronavirus.

“It’s very much emerg-ing science,” said Dr. Philip Landrigan, direc-tor of the global public health program at Boston College.

A small U.S. study pub-lished last week also found the antibodies that fight the coronavirus may

only last a few months in people with mild illness, suggesting people could become susceptible again.

But antibodies aren’t the only defense against a virus, and the other parts of the immune sys-tem could also help pro-vide protection.

Settling the question of whether reinfection is possible is important. If it can occur, that could un-dermine the idea of “im-munity passports” for returning back to workplaces.

And it would not bode well for hopes of getting a long-lasting vaccine.

for decades. We would like United States to

continue to prosper and shine as a beacon of medical care in the world, but all of us have to help and pitch in for it to succeed. We do have some examples of coopera-tion and progress where the Ameri-can people can come together for a common cause: Examples include

post-9/11 and the recent effort to curtail coronavirus.

As new pathogens invade our body, the immune system develops immune fighters to respond to this new disease that we are seeing for the first time. This process involves mostly T-cells and B-cells, specific types of white blood cells we pos-sess in our body that learn who the bad guys are and adapt to kill them.

Our body develops these cells as it learns to respond to millions of threats such as bacteria and vi-ruses. And, like phagocytes, these T-cells and B-cells work together to kill an invader such as a virus. And a very important part of this pro-cess involves the T-cells releasing chemicals called cytokines that trigger our bodies to produce anti-bodies. Then an amazing thing oc-curs: These antibodies attach to the virus and basically turn it off, elimi-nating the symptoms and risk of the disease.

But cytokines do more than just bind to viruses. They also help keep the immune system in check, preventing it from overreacting and causing problems in our bodies, such as inflammation.

Unfortunately, if you have an overactive immune system, setting

off your immune system can be a huge problem. If you catch a cold or the flu, your immune system goes into high gear to fight to the virus, generating too many cyto-kines that may ignite your immune system, and thus your autoimmune condition.

And in the case of COVID-19, the excessive number of cytokines damage tissue and can lead to a breakdown in the protective lining in the lungs and blood vessels. When the lining of blood vessels in our airways, our lungs, are weak-ened by this inflammation, fluid and proteins that are in our blood-stream begin to leak from blood vessels and into the tiny air sacs in the lung, filling these little sacs with fluid, and preventing oxygen from entering them and thus being absorbed into our body. The lack of oxygen causes shortness of breath, a higher risk for complications, and a more severe case of COVID-19.

So, if you have an autoimmune disease, protect yourself from COVID-19 by wearing a mask and distancing yourself from others while in public. Wash your hands frequently, and stay at home as much as possible.

It’s also a good idea to strengthen your immune system by eating a nutritious diet, exercising regu-larly, control your stress and get a

minimum of seven to eight hours of sleep each night. But at the same time, do not sleep all day; this is not good for your body.

Because there are more than 100 autoimmune conditions, there is no way I can cover all the things you can do to help prevent complica-tions if you are exposed to COVID-19. There is no magic treatment that covers all of them. This is why it’s important to work with your doctor, even in this time of trying to stay home.

They can help you control your autoimmune condition and main-tain a strong, healthy immune sys-tem. They can also make sure you’re on the right therapies, and can work with you to develop a plan to address things like diet, ex-ercise, stress and sleep which play such a big role in moderating your immune system.

And remember, most physicians are able to discuss your health by phone or tele-health visits, so you can remain at home and still stay in touch.

18 August 2 - 8, 2020 Viewfinder Citrus County (FL) ChroniCLe

There have been numerous ex-amples throughout history of world leaders forcing their subjects to wage wars that they had no desire to fight, often on the basis of religion.

Bridge players, though, do not care about the race or religion of an opponent; they only want to know about the bidding and card-ing methods that they employ.

Bridge featured the first interna-tional match in any sport between

Egypt and Israel. It took place during the 1980 World Team Olym-piad in Valkenburg, the Nether-lands. (That tournament was plagued by protests against South Africa’s participation.)

Although Israel won narrowly, Egypt gained on this deal from the historic encounter.

At both tables, the defense against three no-trump began with a spade to East’s ace and a spade to South’s king. For Israel, Julian Fry-drich played a heart, West winning with his king and clearing the spades. In search of his ninth trick, declarer tried the club finesse and went down two.

Samih Khalil from Cairo played as if he could see through the backs of the cards. He took two diamond tricks ending in the dummy, cashed the spade queen, then played off his other three diamond winners, bringing everyone down to five cards. When West kept the spade 10, the heart ace-king and the club king-jack, Samih exited with a heart. West was endplayed, forced to lead a club into declarer’s ace-queen at trick 12.

I know Samih well, having coached the Egyptian world cham-pionship team in 1989. If West had discarded two clubs, blanking his king, I’m confident Samih would have gotten it right, cashing the club ace.

BESTTONIGHT’S

8 p.m. on LDC’s Stargirl

Courtney (Brec Bassinger), Pat (Luke Wilson) and the rest of the team try to figure out their next steps, with the ISA hot on their trail, in the new episode “Stars & S.T.R.I.P.E. Part One.” While they prepare for a show-down, Rick (Cameron Gellman) makes a breakthrough. Amy Smart, Yvette Monreal, Ange-lika Washington, Tina Romano,

Meg DeLacy and Christopher James Baker also star.

9 p.m. on LTell Me a Story

In “Chapter 2: Loss,” Jordan (James Wolk) helps the police identify Eddie (Paul Wesley), one of the masked robbers in a jewelry heist. In another tale, Kayla (Danielle Campbell) finds it hard to keep her dis-tance from Nick (Billy Mag-nusson) after they share a dubi-ous one-night stand. Elsewhere, Hannah (Dania Ramirez) helps Gabe (Davi Santos) cover his tracks. Kim Cattrall, Dorian Crossmond MIssick and Mi-chael Raymond-James also star.

9 p.m. on (A&E)What’s It Worth?

Produced remotely, this home-spun new variation on shows like “Antiques Roadshow” finds host and comic Jeff Foxworthy — a collector himself — with a team of experts connecting with everyday people from across the country to examine an assort-ment of their heirlooms, trinkets and personal treasures. They assess whether these guests may be sitting on a gold mine or just

holding on to items for their sen-timental value. As Foxworthy and his team evaluate the ob-jects, the collectors offer person-al stories behind their treasure. Another episode follows.

10 p.m. on # %Statecraft: The Bush 41

TeamThis new one-hour documentary looks at the inner workings of American post-Cold War diplo-macy as reflected in the adminis-tration of President George H.W. Bush. When the 41st president took office, the widespread tur-bulence around the globe called for a new era in American diplo-macy. The invasion of Panama, Tiananmen Square, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Persian Gulf War all took place during Bush 41’s single term in office. Inter-viewees include Dick Cheney, Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice, among others.

10 p.m. on (BRAVO)Backyard Envy

Business is blooming for the boutique landscape business operated by James DeSantis, Garrett Magee and Melissa Brasier — known collective-

ly as the Manscapers — as they return for Season 2 of their home and garden series. Among their challenging proj-ects in these new episodes are designing a Japanese garden for an ultra-modern home, con-quering a logistically daunting “upside-down house” on Fire Island, and reimagining a larg-er-than-life World Pride Parade float for a hotel giant.

10:01 p.m. on (A&E)

Extreme UnboxingThis new unscripted series fol-lows a group of real-life charac-ters as they seek their fortunes by buying liquidated merchan-dise for pennies on the dollar, then “unboxing” it hoping to find something inside that will turn a big profit. That means digging through hundreds, even thousands, of boxed-up items acquired singly or sometimes by the truckload, with no idea what’s inside. In the series premiere, “What’s in the Box,” Bobby and Salena, Chuck and Chris, and Steve and Steph find things ranging from expensive LEGO sets to a box of slime. Another episode follows.

MORE PUZZLESn Find the daily crossword puzzle inside the Chronicle’s classified pages, along with Sudoku,

Wordy Gurdy and a word puzzle.

Dear Annie: I have been with my husband for 23 years now, married for

the last eight. A year ago, I found out that my husband had been communicating with an old high school girlfriend with-out my knowledge. They ran into each other seven years ago and had been talking daily. He used his work phone so I wouldn’t be able to suspect anything. She knew he was married, and that we have five kids. He’s ac-c e p t e d responsi-bility and has said he under-stands it is a form of cheat-ing. He’s apologized and says he has no romantic feelings for this woman. They were just friends. I called her one day to ask if she had feelings for my husband. She said she did not.

A year later, I still don’t trust my husband. I feel insecure and think maybe there’s some-thing missing from our mar-riage that this woman provided for him. I just can’t get over the betrayal. The people I have spoken with say it’s not worth ending our marriage over. But I can’t let it go. I’ve always be-lieved cheating is a deal breaker, and that’s exactly what he’s done to me. I love my husband very much, but I don’t think I can get past his emo-tional affair. Am I overreacting by considering ending my mar-riage for this? — Hurt and Confused

Dear Hurt and Confused: It’s time to examine your feel-ings about yourself and your marriage. It is understandable that you are hurt by what your husband did. However, he has apologized for it and stopped his relationship with her for you. Now, it is up to you to for-give. Forgiveness is a gift you give to yourself. It gives strength to move on. Though you can’t change the past or go back to the same marriage you once had, you can decide what you’d like your marriage to look like from this point for-ward. Seek the help of a pro-fessional counselor to support you in working through this hurt and anger, and then con-sider marriage counseling.

Dear Annie: Recently, I read a letter in your column from a single mom who took offense at the term “broken home.” My comment isn’t about the letter but your reply: “There is noth-ing broken about a single mom.” You should have added “single dad” to your reply. My son is one of many single dads who are raising children with no partner.

His wife died suddenly when their son was 13 months old, and he has had to navigate day care and all the other daily struggles of raising a child while working a minimum- wage job and not having family nearby to help him. He is doing a wonderful job, and I am sure those other single dads out there are as well. I don’t think they get the sympa-thy or credit that moms do, and both of them deserve it.

Raising a child is difficult work, so here’s a letter of grat-itude to all moms and dads, whether single or partnered. --— Dear Including Dads: Thank you for pointing this out. There are many wonder-ful single dads doing great jobs in raising their children, and you’re right; they very often don’t get the credit they deserve.
