Citrus County COVID-19
informationThree new positive
cases were reported in Citrus County since the latest FDOH update. No new deaths were re-ported. To date in the county, 125 people have tested positive and 12 have died.
For more information, see Sunday’s edition.
Flood, storm surge watches
issuedA flood watch is in ef-
fect for Citrus County and areas along the Florida Gulf Coast through Sun-day evening in anticipa-tion of Tropical Storm Cristobal intensifying and affecting low-lying areas.
In addition, a storm surge watch has been is-sued for coastal Citrus, Hernando and Levy counties.
As of noon Friday, the storm was about 760 miles southwest of Cedar Key and headed north at 12 mph.
Cristobal was up-graded from a depression to a tropical storm Friday afternoon after spending much of the morning over the Yucatan Peninsula. It is expected to move out over the Southern Gulf waters later Friday, says the National Weather Service (NWS).
The large wind field as-sociated with Cristobal will lead to a risk for coastal flooding along the eastern Gulf coast, prompting a storm surge watch from Aripeka northward.
Inland flooding, rip cur-rents and dangerous seas are also possible through the weekend, the NWS said.
The projected path has the storm heading near the Louisiana coast.
Heavy rainfall is ex-pected to spread into parts of the Gulf Coast — from east Texas to Florida — this weekend and into next week with areas of flash flooding and rapid rises on smaller streams possible, according to the National Oceanic and At-mospheric Administration.
Citrus DOH offers free
COVID-19 testsThe Citrus County De-
partment of Health (DOH) will offer no cost COVID-19 testing to those with or without symptoms.
Tests check samples from a person’s respira-tory system to tell if you have currently have an infection; it is not an anti-body test.
Test results usually take three to seven days and, in some cases, up to 10 days.
Testing is done by ap-pointment only. To sched-ule an appointment, call 352-527-0068.

WWII vet prepares for 100th birthdayJeff Bryan
Staff writer
Henry Floyd Wells believes the reason for long, mostly healthy life is simple.
“Antibiotics,” answered the World War II veteran as family and friends prepare to gather to celebrate his 100th birthday on Tuesday, June 9, 2020.
And he has the U.S. Army Air Corps to thank for it.
“While I was in basic training, all of those shots you have to take to go overseas, I had all of mine,” Wells explained, “but they mixed up mine and another fellow’s record. We both had to take the shots again; the shots that had been stretched out over five to six weeks, I had to take all
of them in a week. I had double shots.”Also in his 20s, he had developed an in-
fection, so doctors sent him to an allergy specialist. Then, doctors gave him a series of desensitizing shots for all of the things he was allergic to.
“I’m full of antibiotics and desensitizing shots, that’s probably the reason I’m alive,” he quipped.
There’s one other reason, too, Wells said.“I’ve worked since I was 7 years old, I
haven’t slowed down,” he added.Indeed, he hasn’t.Wells who was born in Wauchula, was
drafted into the U.S. Army, serving in the European Theatre.
JEFF BRYAN/ChronicleWorld War II veteran Henry Floyd Wells relaxes in his pontoon boat on Lake Henderson. Wells, who landed on Normandy Beach on his 24th birthday, June 9, 1944, will celebrate his 100th birthday June 9, 2020.

Protesters call for justice
Two-hour demonstration over death of George Floyd held in Invernessfred Hiers
Staff writer
To protest the death of George Floyd while in custody of Minneapolis po-lice and call for racial equality and justice, nearly 200 demonstrators
gathered Friday at the Old Courthouse and Heritage Museum in Inverness.
Organized by young members of the Cita-del of Life Cathedral church in the same city, people attending the two hour-long demonstration called for a peaceful path and cooperation of all races living in Citrus County and the nation.
“We are losing black lives everyday,” said Raven Langley, 18, a church member and primary organizer of the event. “And there is video evidence of people protesting … and innocent black people just dying for no reason.”
“We’re trying to raise awareness of that,” she said, “to get the message across to all people everywhere.”
Part of the solution is helping people see each other without assumptions, she said.
“Our skin is seen as a weapon,” Langley, who is black, told the Chronicle. “They (law enforcement) have a preconceived notion of you.”
When a law enforcement person treats one race differently than an-other, punishment needs to be more severe than “a slap on the wrist.”
“That uniform can make you feel entitled,” she said. “You feel you’re invincible.”
Citrus County’s population is about 2.4% black.
The Citrus County Sheriff ’s Office is made up of about 14% minorities,
according to CCSO spokesman Sgt. Lee Carey, who said the event was peaceful
and there were no arrests.Langley said her work with the
CCSO in organizing the event had gone smoothly and she thanked the agency. About six uniformed deputies were at the event.
Many in the crowd held up homemade signs with messages that included “Black Lives Mat-ter,” “Come to Jesus,” “One Love,” “We stand With You,” “Stop Bad Cops Support Good Cops,” “I Can’t
Breath #George Floyd,” and “Silence is Betrayal.”
MATTHEW BECK/ChronicleThose gathered Friday, June 5, 2020, stand silently for nearly 9 minutes to symbolize the amount of time George Floyd was held down by the neck by police. To view more photos from Friday’s Peace Rally, visit https://tinyurl.com/yb8cry7u.

Inverness moves to encourage development on projectfred Hiers
Staff writer
More than a year after the In-verness city council granted John Eden’s request to annex his 206 acres into the city to develop an upscale RV park, the decision has been mired in a legal feud with the Citrus County commis-sion wanting to stop it.
But in addition to the legal wran-gling between the city and county, the project itself has also been a casualty, now shelved as Eden and the city wait for legal progress.
That could soon change.On May 6, 2020, City Manager
Eric Williams notified Citrus County Administrator Randy Oli-ver that the city was preparing to issue Eden a development order to
allow him to begin development of the first phase of his project. Phase one of the plan includes 176 RV sites, a welcome center, bath house and utility infrastructure.
Aware that a judge might rule in the county’s favor, Williams sent Oliver a site plan of phase one and other support materials to review as to the plan’s adherence to county development rules. The
hope, Williams said, was if a judge rules in the county commission’s favor, Eden’s development thus far, would be in county compliance.
“The city is providing the county an opportunity to review the applicant’s current submittal in an effort to show good faith and move the project forward,” Wil-liams wrote Oliver.

Williams added later in the letter, “We are all working to-gether to see this valuable economic development op-portunity for our community move forward. Setting aside the current filings we see no
reason not to work to -gether to bring this p r o j e c t forward.”
In a May 18, 2020, letter to Williams, Oli-ver replied that Eden’s
2011 master plan and 2017 up-date, was approved by the county commission and coun-ty’s planning and develop-ment commission following public hearing and public input. That plan for New Horizon RV park included 137 RV sites, nine-hole golf
course, clubhouse, swimming pool, fishing pier and picnic areas.
“The approval of the proj-ect by the county has not ex-pired and many assurances regarding amenities were made by the developer to the county and surrounding prop-erty owners to ensure a ‘qual-ity’ project,” Oliver wrote.
And since the city has yet to adopt a com-prehensive plan amend-ment for the New Horizon p r o p e r t y , the city is obliged to fol-low the coun-ty’s land development
code process, Oliver said.That includes a public
hearing to allow impacted neighbors to give public input.
And since Eden’s proposal to the city is different than that to the county, out of an abundance of caution, Wil-liams said the city would host
a public hearing on the changes. Williams said a date for the hearing has not yet been set and would involve Eden applying for a public hearing.
Williams told his council bosses during the city’s regu-larly scheduled public hearing Tuesday, the Oliver letter was a “tangible” way to move the project forward while the two sides continue in court.
But Oliver warned in his letter that given there are changes to the project, “we ask that you proceed with prudently regarding any ap-provals of the New Horizon’s Plan.”
Eden owns the property at 8588 State Road 44 and in early February asked the city to be voluntarily annexed. The city council had two pub-lic meetings on the request and approved it.
During the second of two hearings, County Attorney De-nise Dymond Lyn objected, saying the annexation
violated state statutes that set annexation restrictions.
The property is bordered on the east by Lake Spivey and is about 5,200 feet across the water from the city. It is surrounded by unincorpo-rated Citrus County land on its three other sides.
Councilman Cabot McBride asked Williams whether Eden could possibly be operating his RV park before litigation over the annexation is completed.
Williams replied that phase one could be completed be-fore a judge’s ruling and ap-peals are settled.
City Attorney Robert Batsel said he hopes the annexation litigation is completed this year.
Williams told the Chronicle after the Tuesday meeting that while plan changes are par for the course, inviting the county to participate in some development of the property was a city attempt “not to cre-ate conflict between the city and county.”

State ends COVID-19 checkpoint at Alabama lineMotorists traveling from Alabama into Flor-
ida on Interstate 10 will no longer face being stopped for COVID-19 checks.
The Florida Department of Transportation announced Friday that a checkpoint east of the Florida-Alabama border is being deacti-vated as part of Gov. Ron DeSantis starting the second phase of a COVID-19 economic recovery plan.
A similar checkpoint on Interstate 95 north of Jacksonville remains in place.
The checkpoints were set up in late March as part of an effort to get travelers from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Louisiana to self-isolate upon arriving in Florida.
At the checkpoints, motorists from the four states have been required to complete forms that include contact information and trip de-tails. The state has collected nearly 28,000 traveler forms at the I-10 checkpoint, the De-partment of Transportation said Friday. More than 31,300 forms had been collected at the I-95 checkpoint as of Friday morning.

Around the COUNTY Man confesses to stealing ATVs
Vehicles still missing from Homosassa dealership
Buster thompsonStaff writer
An arrest was made in the theft of several ATVs from a Homosassa-area dealership.
Timothy James Roberts, 25, was arrested early Thursday, June 4, 2020, on charges of burglariz-ing an un-occupied structure and grand theft of between $ 2 0 , 0 0 0 a n d $100,000.
Roberts, whose address was listed as homeless, was wanted by the Citrus C o u n t y S h e r i f f ’ s
Office (CCSO). CCSO deputies ques-
tioned residents for clues on Roberts’ whereabouts, and found him late Wednesday, June 3, 2020, at a home off of Quail Run Drive in Dunnellon, where Roberts tried to evade capture, according to the sheriff ’s office.
At the time of his arrest, Roberts was carrying bur-glary tools and an inmate uniform.
He also confessed to stealing three ATVs and a side-by-side on May 28,
2020, from Love Motor-sports off of U.S. 19 near Homosassa.
It’s alleged Roberts and another man loaded the vehicles onto a double- axle trailer and drove their haul onto the high-way in a light-colored, midsize pickup truck, ac-cording to the sheriff ’s office.
According to the sher-iff ’s office, two of the vehi-cles are still missing: a red Honda Rancher ATV 450 and a white Polaris Razor XP Turbo S Velocity.
CCSO detectives are also trying to identify other suspects in the break-in.
Those with information about the location of the missing vehicles or those suspected of stealing them are being asked to call the sheriff ’s office’s non- emergency number at 352-726-1121.
Tipsters can also re-main anonymous and be eligible for cash reward by contacting Citrus County Crime Stoppers at 888-269-8477.
Mr. Electric overcoming challengesChanges made due
to COVID-19michael D. Bates
Staff writer
During the state’s stay-at-home order, Jennifer Yox, with of Mr. Electric in Crys-tal River, said the business had to make some changes.
“We locked our doors and didn’t let any-one come in,” she said. “Some of our office staff worked from home while others worked from the office. We made sure to have our technicians wearing masks, boo-ties and gloves to keep our customers safe.”
With the order lifted, challenges remain.
“Customers are still not sure if they want technicians in their home yet, due to the virus,” Yox said. “We are taking all pre-cautions to keep our customers’ safety of
high importance.” Mr. Electric opened 33 years ago and has
13 employees. Yox said she sees her busi-ness growing in the next two years.
“We are a family and veteran-run busi-ness and we strive in providing excellent customer service to our customers,” she said.

Jan’s Carports and More open for businessFreD hiers
Staff writer
When Florida issued its stay-at-home order beginning April and directed non-essential business to stop direct contact with customers, business-woman Janice Yarborough said she took the news hard.
“I freaked out. I was living in the Twilight Zone,” she admits now, with a little laugh.
For two weeks no one called her at Jan’s Carports and More.
But when the dust settled, she adapted.
She offered one-on-one meetings with potential clients outside their homes. To make the job as seamless as possible for clients, she offers to have the site prepared using con-tractors she’s worked with in the past and knows she can rely on. She also offers to do all the permit work with the county and cities in Citrus.
I coordinate everything from start to finish,” she said.
But during the worst of the pandemic, it was hard going, Yarborough admits.
“When people are afraid they don’t want to spend their money,” she said.
And with more people stay-ing at home and not on the road during the Florida stay-at-home order, fewer people saw her business and display car-ports and sheds.
To put people at ease, she disinfects her office after each visitor and keeps six feet dis-tance from clients.
But sales are still down, she said.
So Yarborough said she
wants to remind potential cus-tomers that she’s open for busi-ness, she’s careful about keeping her customers safe, carports and sheds are practi-cal, and carports and storage sheds increase the value of a home.
When people are afraid they often don’t want to spend
money, she said, but now as re-strictions are being lifted its time again to invest and im-prove your home.
Yarborough said she wants to encourage potential customers to start investing in the econ-omy and visiting her business again and improve their properties.

EntErtainmEntKanye West attends
Chicago protest, donates $2M
Kanye West has donated $2 million to support the families and legal teams for George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor.
A representative for the rapper confirmed that some of the money donated would fully cover college tuition costs for Floyd’s 6-year-old daughter, Gianna. Floyd died last month after a Minneapolis police officer pressed his knee on his neck for more than eight minutes as he pleaded for air.
Donations were also made to the legal teams of Arbery, who was gunned down while jogging in Georgia in February, and Tay-lor, who was killed in her home in Louisville in March. Friday would have been Taylor’s 27th birthday.
West marched with protesters in his hometown of Chicago on Thursday night.
Largely peaceful protests fol-lowing the deaths of Floyd, Tay-lor and Arbery have led to outbreaks of violence in many larger cities.
Composers Williams, Morricone honored
for film scoresMADRID — A Spanish foun-
dation on Friday awarded one of the country’s most prestigious awards to composers Ennio Morricone and John Williams for their film work.
The jury that decides the Prin-cess of Asturias Awards said the Italian and American composers “have enriched hundreds of films with their talent.”
The pair “demonstrate com-plete mastery of composition as
well as narrative, building emo-tion, tension and lyricism at the service of cinematographic images.”
Williams, 88, has scored mov-ies such as “Star Wars,” “Jaws,” the “Indiana Jones” series and the first three “Harry Potter” films.
Morricone, 91, has over the past seven decades created more than 400 scores for cin-ema and television.
Bars, theaters reopen in most
of FloridaORLANDO — Universal Or-
lando Resort along with bars, movie theaters and other enter-tainment venues reopened with restrictions in most of Florida on Friday as the state took another step away from the economic shutdown caused by the corona-virus outbreak.
Also allowed to reopen are bowling alleys, tattoo and mas-sage parlors and arcades in most of the state. Bars, theaters, concert halls and bowling alleys must limit their capacity to 50% of normal and keep groups at least 6 feet apart — restrictions restaurants statewide have been using.
Massage, tattoo, tanning and similar parlors must employ masks, limit times in waiting areas and sanitize work areas between customers. Barber-shops, hair stylists and nail sa-lons have been operating under similar restrictions statewide.
However, bars, movie theaters and these other entertainment and personal services busi-nesses remain closed in state’s three most-populous, hardest-hit counties — Miami-Dade, Bro-ward and Palm Beach.

He was in the Security Battalion, “a fancy name for military police,” Wells said.
“I got into it acciden-tally,” he said about his two years in the security battalion.
After he completed basic training, instructors had taken about 15 of them to a kwanza hut to see who could shoot a shotgun, he said laughing. The target was a little old notebook paper about 9 inches by 4 inches on a string going across a room. Instructors then handed him a sawed off 12-guauge shotgun.
“’See how many of those you can hit,’” instructors told Wells.
Little did they know, the Southern boy from Florida was no stranger to shotguns.
“I had been quail and dove hunting since I was about 12 years old,” he said. “I busted off five of them. They said, ‘You bet-ter slow down or you’ll be carrying that gun.’”
Wells had no qualms with carrying a shotgun.
“It’s lighter than the M1,” he said.
So Wells was given the shotgun and assigned to serve in the security battalion.
“I didn’t know they wanted me for military po-lice; it was supposed to be for guarding prisoners,” he explained, noting he went to Camp Barkeley, Texas, for addition train-ing. After a lot of practice, he made expert with a .45 hand gun.
Eventually, Wells, along with his unit, were shipped off to England, where they, too, would prepare for D-Day Inva-sion. He would not be a part of the initial assault along the beaches on the French coastline. Wells, along with his unit, hit the beaches on June 9, 1944, his 24th birthday — one he will never forget.
“I landed on the beach at Normandy carrying nothing but a .45 and sawed off shotgun,” he said. “We were strafed as we landed and there was a cement wall about 50 feet up and I headed for that; the planes that strafed us were turning around out over the ocean and I headed for (the wall) and was going to go over it.
“Someone yelled, ‘Don’t jump the wall, don’t jump the wall .. mines.’ So I laid out in front of it.”
Wells’ unit was heading for the landing strip Allied Forces were laying down jus t nor th o f Sainte-Mère-Église.
“On our way there, we passed field after field, where Germans had put up telephone polls to catch our paratroopers, the parachutes were still hanging there, but our troopers had been cut out,” he said, his voice drifting off about the memory.
Finally, his unit had ar-rived at the airfield as
enemy planes strafed soldiers again.
“One officer had a light head wound, but none of us was hurt,” Wells said. “They told us to dig a fox hole, and the land there was like in Little Rock, Ar-kansas, when it is dry it’s hard as a rock.
“I dug one deep enough for me to get in, but when (fighters) came over and went back, I dug it deeper.”
With the air field se-cured, the 124-pound Wells and his partner, a 300-pound wrestler from Oklahoma, aptly called, “Tiny,” were on the main gate. “’Tiny,’ like most big men, he was gentle as a giant,” Wells recalled.
“We were there on the main gate when three 6-wheelers pulled up,” Wells said,” they asked us to show them which way to the Sainte-Mère-Église cemetery. I told him which way to go.”
The soldiers driving those trucks told Wells and his partner, “If you want to see what the war is about, look in the back of the truck.”
“I raised the tarp and it was our boys’ bodies,” Wells said, “stacked 3 feet deep and all the way back. I can still see them.”
“Tiny” was making his way toward the back when Wells waved him off.
“I told him, ‘Don’t look, don’t look,’” Wells said with a pause, “I saw too many bodies.”
Wells’ unit would make its way through France, Holland Belgium, where it was involved in the days leading up to the Battle of the Bulge.
“It was on the news, but it was the worst snow storm they had in years,” Wells said. “Tiny and I, again, were on the main
gate. I had on heavy un-derwear and my Class A uniform, because they were warmer, and my overcoat. I told Tiny, ‘I don’t know if I can get my gun up here to shoot them.’ But they didn’t get that far; the snow stopped them too.”
When the Battle of the Bulge started, Wells said, they had pulled back 15 members of his outfit back us to stay with a radar sta-tion. It was done to give U.S. troops a chance to de-stroy a radar station if the Germans got that far. They never did, Wells said.
By the end of the Euro-pean Theater, Wells’ outfit had already pulled back, but with the war still rag-ing in the Pacific, his unit began preparing to deploy there. It would never happen.
“Luckily, before we sailed, they had dropped the bombs and Japan had given up, so instead of going through the Panama Canal, we were diverted to Boston,” said Wells, noting that was September 1945. When his unit arrived, ev-eryone was given two weeks furlough. All of Wells’ uniforms were in his duffel bag, but he didn’t grab it. He figured he would be back.
The U.S. Army sent him to Camp Blanding, where he could take his furlough after reporting to the Florida-based camp. When he got there, Wells said, “They told me I had enough points to get out of the service.” They asked
him to hang tight and in less than a day, his dis-charge papers were filed.
“All of my uniforms are still in Boston, I guess,” he said.
Wells would reunite with his wife, Claire Van-derwende, whom he mar-ried in 1940. She had returned to Avon Park. Wells got a job as a meat cutter at the local market, a job he had in Lakeland before being drafted. While there, his wife had encouraged him to apply with Florida Power.
“I don’t know anything about power plants,” he said, noting “quite a few of the employees would come into the market. “They must have learned how to do it.”
So he applied, though plant helpers were making the most, 79 cents an hour. However, the government was giving a $200 a month bonus during training pe-riod. “But before I ever drew my first check, be-cause Florida Power wouldn’t guarantee I’d have that job after train-ing. They have to have openings before you could advance. Luckily, I could still cut meats on my time off. The first year I had two jobs just to make a living.”
Eventually, Wells and his wife, would return to Lakeland where he con-tinued to cut meat at a local grocery market with his brother. The couple were expecting the first of three children. Soon, he would secure a full-time job with Florida Power, working in St. Petersburg, before a transfer led the then-family of five to Crys-tal River in 1963. Wells was part of the first crew to help bring the first two coal units online. He worked for Florida Power
for 31-plus years, having started as oil pumper, fin-ishing his career as a shift supervisor of operations.
As he and his wife had made Citrus County home, his wife, then a volunteer at the Key Store, pitched the idea of purchasing the Sportsman Fishing Camp, which was for sale. “We went out and made a deal on the fish camp,” said Wells, who along with his wife, ran the camp from 1973 to 1986. The couple remained on the property until selling it four years ago before his wife, whom he was married to for 75 years, died in 2016.
To do this day, Wells re-mains active with hobbies such as fishing, hunting and gardening.
“He’s got a green thumb, anything he touches flour-ishes,” his daughter, Shelly Smith said.
Said Wells, “I work with the flowers every day.”
His daughter, Shelly, said her father is favorite of the ladies in his neighborhood.
“He’s always been a la-dies man,” Smith said. “It used to drive my mother nuts. They just ask me along because they want Floyd.”
Wells, however, believes there shouldn’t be so much fuss about his upcoming birthday and life.
“Just say he retired and goes fishing,” he said with

NCAA hits Oklahoma St. with postseason banOklahoma State was
fined $10,000 and its men’s basketball team was banned from the upcoming postsea-son Friday after the NCAA
found that former assistant coach Lamont Evans ac-cepted up to $22,000 in bribes intended to help steer athletes to choose certain fi-nancial advisers.
The NCAA ruling included three years of probation, the fine self-imposed by the school along with an addi-tional 1% from the program budget, recruiting restric-tions and a reduction in bas-ketball scholarships.
Evans also received a 10-year show-cause order in the case tied to the federal corruption investigation into college basketball, which became public in fall 2017. The school received a no-tice of allegations last year.
Evans was among 10 people originally indicted by federal prosecutors, in-cluding four assistant coaches. Evans was later sentenced to three months in prison.
The Athletic lays off 8% of its staff due to pandemicThe Athletic has laid off
46 staff members and imple-mented pay cuts across the organization due to cost cuts resulting from the coronavi-rus pandemic.
The 5-year-old subscrip-tion-based online sports site said in a statement that the layoffs represent 8% of its staff. Most of the layoffs in-volved college and enter-prise writers as well as those covering mixed mar-tial arts. There were also re-ductions to most of the staffs in Miami and Phoenix.
Remaining employees will be asked to take double-digit percentage pay cuts through the remainder of the year.
Sports have been mostly shut down since mid-March. NASCAR returned to racing three weeks ago while the NBA and NHL have plans to resume their seasons in late July. Major League Baseball and its players remain at odds over a plan to return, while the NFL is hopeful it will be able to open training camps in late July.

SPORTS BRIEFS
Common angling mistakes, Part 1There are plenty of ways to lose
a fish. Even if you do every-thing exactly by the book, you
can still end up losing a tough battle. Most of the time, however, game fish end up “getting off the hook” due to careless, preventable mistakes on the part of the fisherman. The first step in preventing these kind of blunders is awareness. The follow-ing are 10 of the most commonly committed angling errors. Avoiding missteps like these will help you sig-nificantly increase your catch ratio:
The breaksPerhaps the most common reason
for lost fish is using old or worn line. If you plan on challenging a hard-fighting game fish, you better use fresh, high quality monofila-ment or braid that’s up to the task. If you attempt to land a spirited pred-ator using line that’s old, dry, brittle or frayed, the result will almost cer-tainly be a “long release.” You’ll also want to make sure the “pound-test” of the line on your spool is adequate for the job. If you are undergunned when it comes to line strength, you’re bound to come out on the los-ing end of the battle.
Are you playing with a full deck?
Another common angling error is not putting enough line on your reel. If you don’t fill your reel to near ca-pacity, you’re asking for trouble. You are handicapping yourself before the battle even starts. Any game fish capable of making powerful, sus-tained runs is likely to spool you in a hurry, ending the battle prema-turely. There’s nothing worse than watching a trophy-size gamefish pull the last few inches of line off your reel and hearing that loud “snap.” Avoid this situation by put-ting the proper amount of line on
your reel, following the manufactur-er’s specifications for the pound test you are using.
UndergunnedYou wouldn’t try to take on a bear
with a sling shot, so don’t attempt to catch a tough, oversized saltwater game fish with a rod and reel that’s made for catching freshwater trout. Many anglers lose fish simply be-cause they are using tackle that’s simply not up to the task. Make sure the rod and reel you select is appro-priate for the angling assignment. You’ll need to arm yourself with a reel that holds enough line for the type of fishing you will be doing. The drag should be powerful enough to put the brakes on your adversary, and allow you to gain back line quickly and efficiently. If you are dealing with speedy predators, make sure your reel has a fast enough gear ratio to keep up with a fish running toward the boat. As for the rod, select one that’s matched and balanced for the reel you are using. If your rod is too light for the job or poorly constructed, it’s likely to snap under the strain of a big, powerful fish. If it lacks sufficient backbone, you won’t be able to gain on your fish and work it to the boat.
It’s pointlessMany anglers simply miss oppor-
tunities to catch fish because they use hooks that are dull, rusted or improperly sized for the assign-ment. You need a sharp hook to drive home the point when you set the hook. If your hook doesn’t pene-trate quickly and solidly, you’ll end up swinging a lot with nothing to show for it. In addition to ensuring that your hooks are sufficiently sharp, make sure they are the right size. If you use too small a hook, it is likely to pull out under the pressure
during the fight. On the other hand, if you use a hook that’s much too big, it will be easily detected by wary game fish. Always tie on a hook that’s appropriately sized for the size of the fish you are catching and the line you are using. Also remem-ber that hooks can bend. Don’t at-tempt to catch a 30-pound tuna on a hook that’s made for landing fresh-water bass. You’ll end up reeling in nothing but a badly twisted piece of metal.
Knot the way to goFactors like line quality and hook
sharpness are moot issues if the connection between your line and the hook is bad. A poorly tied knot will fail quickly when it’s tested by a serious game fish. Many anglers lose fish because they don’t know how to properly tie an effective fishing knot, or they tie on a hook in a hurry, making costly errors in the process. Use time-proven knots, such as the Palomar knot, the Uni Knot or the Improved Fisherman’s Cinch knot. If you don’t know how to tie these knots, there are plenty of guides and booklets available on the subject, complete with step-by-step dia-grams. If you do have the knowl-edge, be sure not to rush the tying process so much that you make a mistake — even during a hot bite. Remember, the quality of your knot is crucial. If you tie one that lacks strength and holding power, it’s not going to get the job done.
For column space sake, be sure to get a paper next week and we’ll fin-ish up with the last 5. Wait until you see them.

‘The real deal’
Editor’s note: This is one of a se-ries of stories the Chronicle will tell highlighting some of the senior spring sports athletes in the county who had their careers cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Matt PfiffnerSports editor
A year ago at this time, Caliann Rogers and her Crystal River softball teammates were fresh off an incredible postseason run that resulted in a Class 6A state runner-up trophy.
Fast forward a year and Rog-ers and her teammates have been sitting at home for over two months, after the season was sus-pended and eventually canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
As the virus started spreading, sports across the world began shutting down. Florida high school athletics were among the casualties.
“I really wasn’t sure what was going to happen,” the standout catcher said about her thoughts before the season was first post-poned and then canceled. “But I told the girls the last game that we played, ‘Play this like it is your last game, because it could be.’ None of them believed me, but unfortunately, it was.”
Rogers was batting .414 her se-nior season with a home run, seven RBI and had a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage behind the plate. Recently, she was
named the female athlete of the year at Crystal River, the District 8 first-team All-Star catcher and first team All-District.
“Once she comes inside the fence, she’s very focused. When it’s time to play ball, she was probably my most focused kid,” first-year Pirate head coach John Shepherd said. “She’s the real deal. Talent-wise, personality- wise and knowledge of the game. She was my quarterback on the field. She really knows what she’s doing on the field. She is one of the better players to come out of the county.”
Shepherd said he was not shocked when the season was eventually canceled and he tried to prepare his team for the announcement.
“The last week of the season, we were playing our best ball of the year. We were just getting into a groove,” he said. “As soon as I started hearing about (COVID-19), I didn’t feel comfort-able that we would finish the sea-son. I didn’t see the season going on, and I really didn’t want it to go on. I feel bad for the kids, but it’s just a game and life is more important.”
So for Rogers and fellow se-niors Cara Hardy, Raven Langen-burg, Amber Morton, Gracie Ping and Emma Ward, there would be no chance to experience Senior Night or take another crack at a
deep postseason run.“I think my senior group took it
a little easier, because I kept them educated on what was going on. Some would text me ‘what do you think?’ And I was up front with them. I told them ‘let’s get real.’ So my kids started preparing for the season to end,” Shepherd said. “I know they were down in the dumps about it, because we were playing our best ball.”
Rogers said even though she knew there was a chance the sea-son would be canceled, it was still hard to hear the official news.
“I was kind of shocked, and re-ally disappointed. I wanted to play my senior year, experience Senior Night, and I cried a lot,” she said.
But this is not the end of Rog-ers’ softball career. She is head-ing to Fort Myers to play NCAA Div. I softball for Florida Gulf Coast University.
“I’m so excited. I’m so ready. I can’t wait to start playing again,” she said. “I would love to stay at catcher, but if they need me any-where else, I would do it.”
Shepherd said FGCU is getting someone who can contribute from day one.
“She’s going to slide right in and be an asset to the program,” he said. “You’ve accomplished what you wanted to do, now it’s in your hands.”
MATT PFIFFNER/ChronicleCrystal River’s Caliann Rogers bats during the Class 6A state tournament semifinals May 23, 2019, in Vero Beach against Rockledge. Rogers and her teammates went all the way to the state title game last spring, finishing second in 6A, but had this season cut very short due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Wall Street’s rally zooms higher after surprise gain in jobs
Stan Choe and damian J. troiSe
AP business writers
For weeks, critics said Wall Street’s big rally made no sense when the economy seemed set for only more despair. On Friday, it got a bit of validation.
The S&P 500 jumped an-other 2.6% after a report said the U.S. job market surprisingly strengthened last month, bolstering hopes that the worst of the recession may have al-ready passed. Employers added 2.5 million workers to their payrolls, when economists were expect-ing them instead to slash another 8 million jobs.
While economists cau-tioned that it’s just one month of data and that many risks still loom on the long road to a full re-covery, the report gives some credence to the opti-mism that’s been building among stock investors that the economy can climb out of its current hole faster than forecast. That hope has been a big reason for the S&P 500’s rally of more than 40% since late March.
The S&P 500 is now down just 5.7% from its re-cord set in February after
being down nearly 34% earlier this year when re-cession worries were peaking.
“It looks like the healing process is underway in the jobs market and it looks like it’s happening sooner than expected,” said Todd Lowenstein, equity strat-egy executive of The Pri-vate Bank at Union Bank. “It looks like the worst is behind us.”
The S&P 500 rose 81.58 points to 3,193.93 for its eighth gain in the last 10 days. The Dow Jones Indus-trial Average gained 829.16, or 3.2%, to 27,110.98, and the Nasdaq composite rose 198.27, or 2.1%, to 9,814.08.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 0.88% from 0.82% late Thursday. This area of the market was much earlier than stocks to give warning about the coming eco-nomic devastation from the coronavirus outbreak. It had also been showing much more caution than stocks recently.
Now, the 10-year yield is close to its highest level since March, according to Tradeweb. It tends to move with investors’ expecta-tions for the economy’s strength and inflation.
Stocks began their mas-sive rally in late March after the Federal Reserve came to the rescue with promises of immense aid to keep markets running smoothly. Capitol Hill also agreed on unprecedented amounts of support for the economy. The actions helped convince investors that the worst-case sce-nario of a full-blown finan-cial crisis was not likely.
More recently, it’s been hopes that economic growth can resume that have driven the market, as states across the country and nations around the world relax lockdown re-strictions meant to slow the spread of the virus. Even as horrific and his-toric data continued to come in on the job market and economy, stocks largely remained resilient in their climb.
If the optimism proves to be right, it wouldn’t be the first time. During past re-cessions, stocks have histor-ically hit their bottom and turned upward months be-fore the economy has. That’s because investors are setting stock prices now for where they see corpo-rate profits heading months into the future.

Prendergast right person for the jobI’m writing to show my sup-
port for the re-election of Sheriff Mike Prendergast.
I’ve lived in this county for 30 years and am astonished at the amount of drug dealers and drugs that have moved into this county. I applaud the Citrus County Sheriff ’s Office for every drug bust they make, every meth lab they shut down and for everything they are doing to make this county safer to live in. I’ve lived here during two other sheriff ’s terms and I’ve never seen either of them take ac-tion against drug crime like the current agency has.
I have the utmost respect for Sheriff Prendergast and I wholeheartedly believe he has made a difference since he’s been in office. He has served our country, served our veterans as the executive director of the Florida De-partment of Veteran’s Affairs and has made a positive im-pact on our county. His work ethic is commendable, and he has the experience from his time in the military as a mili-tary police officer to continue to help put a stop to the many crimes now being committed.
Citrus county is not the same as it was years ago. I un-derstand things change but the criminal element that has made this county their home needs to be eradicated. We
have a large police presence in this county and I feel this is what our residents need. Prendergast has compassion for others, is present in dan-gerous situations serving right along with his deputies, as well as being very active as a community leader.
I have never felt this strongly about politics but of all the sheriffs who have served Citrus County, he is without a doubt the best for the job. It is for these reasons
I am voting for Sheriff Pren-dergast, and I urge you to do so as well.

Fees, fees, and more fees
On May 26, at the Board of County Commissioners meet-ing, Item: H.1. a. b. c. There was discussion on the MSBU rates. I was there and it was proposed an increase of $10 per year, but it was not dis-closed this would be per lot, so if you received in your mail a notice to property owner, that is what this is about.
Depending on how many lots you have, I guess the MSBU will increase at $10 per lot.
It amazes me that after moving from one state that had all the increases in fees, fees, and more fees, we would find the same in the state of Florida.
How do you expect people to move to Citrus County if when they do their homework they will see that it is OK to just keep digging into their bank accounts.
Everyone who wants to stop, or at least speak about the increases needs to go the BOCC meeting on June 23.

ECONOMIC RECOVERY
Crumps Landing reopening gives
economic outlook shot in arm
Finally, some welcome economic news: Crumps Landing, once
devastated by fire, has reopened.
Crumps Land-ing benefits from its new business model. Back in the day KC Crumps was known for fine dining. Since the inception of Crumps Landing, it has switched to leisure dining. Now that they have rebuilt fol-lowing the fire, Crumps has an advantage because of its well-known outdoor dining model. Outdoor dining, in the age of social distancing, should see a boost.
Crumps Landing also got a
boost from the PDC’s ap-proval of plans to expand the restaurant, which include an additional kitchen, tiki bar,
dining area, band-stand, and kayak launch, as well as a parking lot across to accom-pany vehicles from customers and staff.
Additionally, Riverfront In-vestments also proposes to de-velop up to 13 homesites on the eastern edge of
Riverhaven Village.Crumps has a great for-
mula and will be a success.We welcome the news of its
reopening an expansion and are sure its patrons are happy.
THE ISSUE:Crumps Landing
reopens.
OUR OPINION:Good news for the restaurant and good news for the business
community.

Thanks for running the column
I want to thank the editors and the Citrus County Chronicle for running the George Will arti-cle today (June 3, Page A10). It was very good information, very serious information. I hope peo-ple will read it and, again, thank you so much to the Chronicle.
A witness to meanness
I’m calling in reference to the (Sound Off) in yesterday’s, Tues-day, June 2, paper, “Some people are so mean.” I saw that situa-tion that happened on May 20. That guy tried to run over those peo-ple walking across that road. He did not slow up. He switched lanes and he tried to run over them in the gray Ford pickup truck.
Suggestions for help with taxes
We need some advice. Had an appointment with the wonderful volunteers of AARP to have our taxes done this year. Due to the (coronavirus), at Crystal River li-brary it was canceled. We called our tax assistance and they ad-vised us to do our taxes online. We are in our late 80s and early 90s, so that’s not going to hap-pen, sorry to say. Any sugges-tions, please, would be appreciated. Thank you.
Deputy deserves a ticket
It’s most interesting. On Wednesday, June 3, at 9:37 in the morning, between (County Road) 486 and the Huddle House, a sheriff’s deputy ... was traveling east towards Inverness. He was changing lanes at least three
times, maybe more. He made a left at (C.R.) 486. At no time did he use a turn signal when he was changing lanes. The traffic was relatively heavy. He was just jump-ing in between cars, going from one lane to another. If I did that, the same deputy would probably pull me over and give me a ticket. So how do I write a ticket for this deputy? Please, somebody give me an explanation.
Stimulus checks spent on guns
It is frightening to know that so many of my Citrus County neighbors are spending their stimulus checks on guns and ammo, not food, not rent, not shoes and clothes for their chil-dren, not medical bills or paint for their houses or even jewelry. The only small businesses (that) benefit are the gun dealers. The rest of
us have another reason to stay away from each other.
Fix the problem, commissioners
OK, county commissioners, it’s been about two weeks, maybe two and a half, since the young man said that the gas station over there in Sugarmill Plaza had a problem and I see nothing has happened. What are you doing? I went by there the other day and there was four cars that had to turn around and come back out. Does some-one need to draw you a map and show you where it’s at?

Some advice for the peaceful protesterDr. Eloy NuñEz
Special to the Chronicle
This is an open letter to all peaceful protesters. In 26 years in leadership positions in law enforcement, I have on many occasions placed our officers in between opposing groups of protesters to ensure their Con-stitutional rights to peacefully assemble. We have separated pro-Castro from anti-Castro protesters in Miami. We have separated paid mercenary Sugar Growers Association pro-testers from environmentalist counter-protesters in Coral Ga-bles. We have separated KKK demonstrators from civil rights counter-demonstrators in North Miami. We did this suc-cessfully on many more occa-sions, with many different groups of protesters. Each time, we were successful in keeping the peace. Our officers were highly trained and disciplined. Our commanders understood our mission and clearly con-veyed the rules of engagement to the officers and to the protest leaders ahead of time. That’s how it’s supposed to work.
Unfortunately, there are some radical anarchist groups whose sole mission is to over-throw our government and transform our democratic soci-ety. These groups are from both the extreme left and the ex-treme right. They hate each other, but they hate us even more, and they understand that they can only thrive when chaos exists. Fortunately, they are few in numbers. Unfortunately, these radical groups use large crowds of unwitting peaceful protesters as cover for their ac-tions. I saw this with my own eyes in the 2003 WTO riots in
Cancun, Mexico, and later in the 2003 FTAA Conference riots in Miami. Within the estimated 10,000 peaceful protesters of various causes and groups (such as the Teamsters Union and the AFL-CIO), there were approximately 400 radical Antifa-type agitators, armed and trained in Black Bloc tactics.
On the Thursday of the FTAA event, the peaceful protest turned into violent actions spurred on by the 400 Antifa ag-itators. Because of our preplan-ning, our strategy, our training, and above all, our professional-ism and discipline, we were able disperse and separate the violent agitators from the friendly peaceful protesters. As the Antifa people ran down the downtown Miami streets, we were able to isolate them in small groups and take them to jail. In doing so, we spared the city from the heavy damage that was sustained in Seattle in 1999, and in other similar events worldwide.
Those who got away came back for a protest at the Dade County Jail the next day. Fortu-nately, all other legitimate marches and rallies were can-celed by the organizers. That day, we arrested a few more stragglers, and the riot that broke out the previous day was averted. We were able to do that because the peaceful pro-testers voluntarily stayed home and did not allow themselves to be the pawns of the radical instigators.
There are many things going on in these protests that you cannot see, hear, or understand. I have been studying this
phenomenon for many years, both as a law enforcement offi-cer, and now as a criminal jus-tice professor and researcher. I have seen the elaborate train-ing that many of these groups partake in. I have spoken face-to-face with some of their mem-bers and I have gotten considerable insight as to what motivates them. I have seen with my own eyes their organi-zational structures in action. These radical groups bring their own medics, lawyers, scouts, explosive experts and propagandists to the fight. They are well trained and well fi-nanced. But they know that they cannot be successful un-less they meld into large crowds of people.
My advice to the peaceful protester is simple. Once the vi-olence starts, please go home and stay home. Once the genie is out of the bottle, it cannot be put back in. If you get swept up in events, regardless of your good intentions, please go home. Come back and express your Constitutional rights on another day. Don’t become the unwitting pawns of radical hate groups from both the left and the right. They cannot prevail unless you help them.

Other VOICES

Treat others with dignity, kindnessOver the past few months we
have had some trying times due to the COVID-19
pandemic, and everyone has been affected. The federal, state and local governments have put in place or-ders and guidelines which were meant to protect all of us. Your local leaders of Cit-rus County have tried to balance these guidelines as much as possible while fol-lowing the CDC.
A little over a week ago, another tragedy occurred, which again affected everyone — the killing of George Floyd. He was
murdered while in the custody of police officers in the city of Min-neapolis. Being a retired law en-forcement officer, I was shocked
upon viewing the video of his horrific death. I agree that change does need to happen.
As far as the riots, I in no way condone the violent actions of those individuals who used Mr. Floyd’s death as an excuse to burn down businesses, commit violent acts against police officers and other citizens, steal
and loot. These actions are al-ready causing stress on our
attempt to get our lives back to some type of normalcy from COVID-19. I welcome citizens to peacefully protest.
No matter what your beliefs are regarding these issues, please remember to treat each other with dignity, respect and kindness. Please look out for each other.
Report suspicious activities to our Citrus County Sheriff ’s Office.
With everyone’s help and co-operation we can make changes that will benefit all of us in our community.

Joan Trehy, 57, of Inver-ness, who is white, said she came to show that rac-ism is real and in all communities.
“I’m here to show my support for Black Lives Matter,” said the social worker. “It’s time for the country to educate itself on racism and how it’s spread.”
Trehy acknowledged that Citrus County is pre-dominantly white with a large senior population and CCSO hires minori-ties, “but that doesn’t mean racism is not here.”
She said members of the sheriff ’s office should have participated in the demonstration and not limited themselves to pro-viding security.
She said there is a rift between law enforcement across the country and its citizens “and we need to close that rift.”
Members of the Citadel of Life Cathedral church also provided water and fruit for demonstrators. Senior members of the church also attended the demonstration, but stayed mostly on the periphery of the event communicating with each other with hand-held radios.
“We want to make sure it’s safe for them,” the Rev. Tagaryan McDuffie said of the young organizers. Mc-Duffie is a co-pastor at the church.
The church members want to make sure the demonstration “is done in a Christian-like way, no misunderstandings, and get people to be unified,” he said.
“Racism, it’s every-where,” McDuffie said, adding he has never had a bad experience with local law enforcement.
Speakers at the event spoke about other black men who died at the hands of law enforcement such as Eric Garner and Michael Brown, both in 2014.
“The judicial system for black lives does not matter and we can’t go on like that,” said Patrice Sison, 17 of Inverness, and one of
the speakers, after speak-ing about Eric Garner.
“Thank you to the peo-ple who called for justice. That is why we fight,” she said as the crowd applauded.
As part of the event, Langley asked for 8 min-utes, 47 seconds of silence. That was the amount of time Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin had his knee against Floyd’s neck.
Some 20 feet from the demonstration, about 50 other people gathered with signs that read “All Lives Matter” and wore patriotic clothing.
Dave Belknap, 51, was one of them.
Belknap said people had the right to demon-strate, but should know the facts about the com-munity they live in and that Citrus County is a community of mostly retir-ees with little racism.
“The people here worked and planned for their future,” he said of county residents.
Police problems and ri-oting are problems seen predominately in large cit-ies, Belknap said.
“I think all they’re doing is trying to rattle people (and provoke a response),” he said.
Many drivers who passed the museum honked their horns in
support or shouted “Black Lives Matter.”
Harry Moore, 75, white and a retired computer programmer, also attended the demonstration.
“I want to show support for these people,” he said,
turning his head toward the group.
Although Floyd died far away from Inverness, Moore said all are part of the human race “and blacks have been mis-treated since day one.”
“I don’t know what the solution is, but I’m here,” he said. “You have to step up.”

Officers suspended after man, 75, shoved and hurt on video
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Pros-ecutors were investigating Friday after a video cap-tured police in Buffalo shov-ing a 75-year-old man who then fell and cracked his head, a confrontation that resulted in the suspension of two officers.
Video from public radio station WBFO of Thursday night’s encounter, which happened near the conclu-sion of protests over the death of George Floyd in Minnesota, quickly sparked public outrage and a protest by city police who felt the officers were being mistreated.
It shows a man identified as Martin Gugino approach-ing a line of helmeted offi-cers holding batons as they clear demonstrators from Niagara Square around the time of an 8 p.m. curfew. Two officers push Gugino backward, and he hits his head on the pavement. Blood spills as officers walk past. One officer leans down to check on the in-jured man before he is urged along by another offi-cer. Gugino and the officers all appear to be white, but details of their backgrounds were not released.
“Why? Why was that necessary? Where was the threat?” asked Gov. Andrew Cuomo at his daily briefing Friday. The governor said he spoke to Gugino, who had been hospitalized in se-rious condition.
Minneapolis bans police chokeholds
in wake of Floyd death
MINNEAPOLIS — Min-neapolis agreed Friday to ban chokeholds by police and to require officers to try to stop any other officers they see using improper force, in the first concrete steps to remake the city’s police department since George Floyd’s death.
The changes are part of a stipulation between the city and the Minnesota De-partment of Human Rights, which launched a civil rights investigation this week in response to the death of Floyd. The City Council ap-proved the agreement 12-0.
After 30 years, wrongfully
convicted death row inmate freed
A man who spent nearly three decades in behind bars, most of them on death row, after he was convicted at his second trial of killing a 4-year-old girl in Philadel-phia was released Friday after prosecutors concluded he very likely did not do it.
Walter Ogrod left death row and the State Correc-tional Institution-Phoenix hours after his charges were reduced and he was granted bail in the 1988 death of Barbara Jean Horn.

UN agency: Iran violating all
restrictions of nuclear deal
VIENNA — Iran has con-tinued to increase its stock-piles of enriched uranium and remains in violation of its deal with world powers, the United Nations’ atomic watchdog said Friday.
The International Atomic Energy Agency reported the finding in a confidential doc-ument distributed to mem-ber countries and seen by The Associated Press.
The agency said that as of May 20, Iran’s total stock-pile of low-enriched ura-nium amounted to 1.73 tons, up from 1.1 tons on Feb. 19.
Iran signed the nuclear deal in 2015 with the United States, Germany, France, Britain, China and Russia. Known as the Joint Com-prehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA, it allows Iran only to keep a stockpile of 447 pounds.
The IAEA reported that Iran has also been continu-ing to enrich uranium to a purity of up to 4.5%, higher than the 3.67% allowed under the JCPOA.
German bomb experts to defuse
WWII-era bomb in Frankfurt
FRANKFURT, Germany — German police and fire-fighters are clearing a sec-tion of Frankfurt around the convention center to defuse a World War II-era bomb that was discovered during recent construction work.
Authorities said some 2,700 people are being asked to leave their homes as they cordon off the area as a precaution to defuse the 1,100-pound bomb. Buses and trains through the area were also shut down.
3 Mexican police officers arrested
for alleged beating death
MEXICO CITY — Author-ities in western Mexico ar-rested three police officers, including the commissioner, and took over their local po-lice department Friday in connection with the alleged beating death of a man in police custody.
The killing of Giovanni López in Ixtlahuacan de los Membrillos, Jalisco last month spurred violent pro-tests in Guadalajara Thurs-day evening.
Jalisco Gov. Enrique Al-faro called the killing an “atrocity” and promised to clear up the case, but also asserted that the sudden backlash was politically motivated.
He said López was de-tained May 4 in the town south of Guadalajara for a misdemeanor equivalent to disturbing the peace or re-sisting arrest. Hours later he was taken from his cell for medical attention and died.

Trump: ‘A great day’ for FloydAlso hails
strong jobs report
Darlene SupervilleAssociated Press
WASHINGTON — Pres-ident Donald Trump on Friday declared it was “a great day” for George Floyd as he discussed a strong jobs report for the country and efforts to bring about racial equal-ity. Joe Biden, the likely Democratic presidential nominee, said Trump’s comments about Floyd were “despicable.”
Trump’s comments about Floyd came as he shifted from discussing a drop in the unemployment rate to say everyone de-served “equal treatment in every encounter with law enforcement, regard-less of race, color, gender or creed.”
“We all saw what hap-pened last week. We can’t let that happen,” Trump said. “Hopefully George is looking down right now
and saying this is a great thing that’s happening for our country.”
He added: “This is a great day for him. It’s a great day for everybody. This is a great day for ev-erybody. This is a great,
great day in terms of equality.”
Floyd, who was black, died after a white police officer pressed his knee on Floyd’s neck for several minutes, ignoring Floyd’s cries that he couldn’t
breathe and bystander shouts. Floyd’s death set off protests around the world, including outside the White House.
Trump spoke shortly after the government said the unemployment rate had dropped to 13.3%, bet-ter than expected but still on par with Great Depression-era levels of joblessness. He offered the data as evidence that the nation had overcome the worst of the coronavi-rus pandemic and had begun an economic comeback.
Biden panned Trump’s comments during an eco-nomic speech in Delaware.
“We’re speaking of a man who was brutally killed by an act of needless violence and by a larger tide of injustice that has metastasized on this presi-dent’s watch,” Biden said.
“George Floyd’s last words, ‘I can’t breathe. I can’t breathe,’ have echoed all across this na-tion and quite frankly around the world,“ Biden added. ”For the president to try to put any other words in the mouth of George Floyd, I frankly think, is despicable.”

Sad anniversaryFew to mourn
the D-Day dead in Normandy
raf CaSertAssociated Press
SAINT-LAURENT-SUR-MER, France — At least the dead will always be there.
All too many have been, for 76 years since that fateful June 6 on France’s Normandy beaches, when allied troops in 1944 turned the course of World War II and went on to defeat fascism in Eu-rope in one of the most remark-able feats in military history.
Forgotten they will never be. Revered, yes. But Saturday’s an-niversary will be one of the lone-liest remembrances ever, as the coronavirus pandemic is keeping almost everyone away — from government leaders to frail veter-ans who might not get another chance for a final farewell to their unlucky comrades.
Rain and wind are also fore-cast, after weeks of warm, sunny weather.
“I miss the others,” said Charles Shay, who as a U.S. Army medic was in the first wave of
soldiers to wade ashore at Omaha Beach under relentless fire on D-Day.
Shay, 95, lives in France close to the beach where he and so many others landed in 1944. He knows of no U.S. veterans making the trip overseas to observe D-Day this year.
“I guess I will be alone here this year,” Shay said before he performed a Native American rit-ual to honor his comrades by spreading the smoke of burning white sage into the winds lashing the Normandy coast Friday.
The eerie atmosphere touches the French as well as Americans.
“The sadness is almost too much, because there is no one,” said local guide Adeline James. “Plus you have their stories. The history is sad and it’s even more overwhelming now between the weather, the (virus) situation and, and, and.”
The locals in this northwestern part of France have come out year after year to show their grat-itude for the soldiers from the United States, Britain, Canada and other countries who liber-ated them from Adolf Hitler’s Nazi forces.
Despite the lack of interna-tional crowds, David Pottier still went out to raise American flags in the Calvados village of Mosles, population 356, which was
liberated by allied troops the day after the landing on five Nor-mandy beachheads.
In a forlorn scene, a gardener tended to the parched grass around the small monument for the war dead, while Pottier, the local mayor, was getting the French tricolor to flutter next to the Stars and Stripes.
“We have to recognize that they came to die in a foreign land,“ Pottier said. “We miss the GIs,” he said of the U.S. soldiers.
The pandemic has wreaked havoc across the world, infecting 6.6 million people, killing over 391,000 and devastating econo-mies. It poses a particular threat to the elderly — like the surviving D-Day veterans who are in their late nineties or older.
It has also affected the younger generations who turn out every year to mark the occasion. Most have been barred from traveling to the windswept coasts of Normandy.
Some 160,000 soldiers made the perilous crossing from En-gland that day in atrocious condi-tions, storming dunes which they knew were heavily defended by German troops determined to hold their positions.
Somehow, they succeeded. Yet they left a trail of thousands of casualties who have been mourned for generations since.

Nancy KennedyGRACE NOTES
For more churce news and columns, visit
www.chronicleonline.com, liFestyle, religion
(Editor’s note: This column is adapted from one that ran in 2018.)
One of my favorite things to do is sit on my couch and look
out our big back window and watch the wind blow through the trees.
It reminds me of the conversation Jesus once had with a religious leader named Nicodemus.
Talking about the need for a person to be trans-formed by the Holy Spirit, Jesus told him that God’s Spirit is like the wind, a power that moves boats on the sea, changes the earth’s topography, erodes mountains, shifts the des-ert sand.
“It blows wherever it pleases,” Jesus said. “You can hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it’s going. So it is with every-one born of the Spirit” (John 3:8).
I remember my pastor once saying that no one can control the wind and that it’s futile to try.
We can’t create it, not the real thing anyway, and we can’t stop it.
We can’t rope it, cage or corral it or tell it which way it should blow and have it obey.
The wind blows softly, as a soothing, cooling breeze on a sultry summer day. It also blows violently, like a hurricane or a tornado.
There’s a violent wind blowing through our na-tion, a destructive tornado of hate and incivility.
And while I don’t claim to know what God is doing, I’m wondering if he’s not using this storm to open our eyes, to show us the depth of evil that is rooted in our souls — as individuals and corpo-rately as a nation.
One of my favorite Bible passages about the wind is found in the Old Testa-ment book of Ezekiel. In a vision, the ancient prophet sees a valley of dry bones. God tells Eze-kiel to “prophesy to the bones” and that he, God, would bring them back to life.
As Ezekiel speaks, he hears a rattling noise as the bones come together.
Then God summons the wind and breathes on the bones — and they get up and come to life as a vast army (Ezekiel 37:1-10).
There’s a song by Cast-ing Crowns, “Oh, My Soul,” that also speaks of this passage: “Even now, he’s breathing on your dry bones and there will be dancing, there will be beauty where beauty was ash and stone.”
I grew up in Southern California where the scorching Santa Ana winds sometimes spread destructive wildfires through the hills and valleys.
But after the fire comes new life. Beauty where beauty was ash and stone.
Maybe this is what God is doing, sending us a scorching wind to ignite a refining, cleansing fire in our souls, bringing us to our knees in repentance.
Special to the Chronicle
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the St. Scholastica Knights have been maintaining social distancing and working in small groups while serving the community.
The Knights cleaned out the pool at the Grotto at Our Lady of Good Counsel Camp and replanted water lilies and other plants to make the area more pleasing and invit-ing. They also built benches for visitors to be able to rest and enjoy the beauty of the Grotto. Our Lady of Good Counsel Camp is located in Floral City.
At the Pregnancy and Family Life Center of Citrus County, located in Inverness, the Knights built four planters in front of the Pregnancy Center building and filled them with stones and topsoil. They pressure- cleaned the first and second stories of the building and prepped, sanded, primed and painted the carport and front entrance to the center.
Two door thresholds were rebuilt, two rooms repainted, an old desk and storage area were removed and replaced with new desks, and two flat-screen televisions were mounted on the wall.
The Knights also renovated a hallway, in-stalling wainscoting and removed a kitchen counter and cabinets. Two wall murals were installed in client areas to provide a more pleasing and warm environment for expect-ant mothers and families.
Bunk beds, couches, televisions, wiring and framing were removed from a donated RV in order to make space available to con-vert the RV into a mobile pregnancy center, which will provide room for ultrasound ser-vices, diagnostic tests, distribution of food/supplies and counseling.
Thanks to all those who made these reno-vations possible, especially Barry Fitzger-ald, Jim Fitzsimmons, Jim Harvey and Jan Harvey. The Knights are happy to assist the Pregnancy Center in providing such a needed and important service to Citrus County.

Not that he caused the violence and hatred — we did that to ourselves. But he often uses affliction and pain to bring us to our knees.
And he sends the wind, the wind of the Holy Spirit that transforms people’s lives, turning de-struction and devastation to new life and beauty.
And so, as I watch the wind blow through the trees and I watch the news on TV, my prayer is that God will bring the winds of change to our na-tion, our community and our families so we will turn to him.
It’s the only thing that can save us and bring life to our dead, dry bones.

The Esther Chapter of the Daugh-ters of the King at Shepherd of the Hills Episcopal Church in Lecanto requests food donations to benefit SOS Support Center, which feeds more than 7,000 families in Citrus County each month. They will have a drive-thru food drop-off from 9 a.m. to noon on Tuesday, June 2, at Shep-herd of the Hills Episcopal Church, 2540 W. Norvell Bryant Highway (County Road 486), Lecanto. The food collected on Tuesday will be taken to SOS on Wednesday in time for distribution on Thursday. “We’ll have coolers on hand to store refrig-erated or even frozen items,” said Cathy Allen. “We hope to do more than one of these drive-thru drop-offs, because food pantries are really hurt-ing trying to feed so many people.”
Congregation Beth Sholom, 102 Civic Circle, Beverly Hills, continues “separate but together” online pro-grams. Along with other religious or-ganizations, Beth Sholom is considering ways to resume in-house worshipping. Decisions will be made using CDC guidelines as best as pos-sible. Beth Sholom will continue on-line services and classes into June. In addition to Friday evening sabbath services starting 7 p.m., we have a
Saturday evening service/social hour, starting 8 p.m. Cantor Alisa Forman leads a short service followed by her entertaining our congregants and in-vited family and friends with songs in Hebrew, Yiddush and English, with time for socializing afterwards.
Cantor Forman teaches classes and discussions on Jewish topics on Tuesdays at 11 a.m. and Thursdays at 2 p.m. For information on how you can join or support Beth Sholom, and more information on upcoming plans, email President Barbara Hamerling at [email protected] or call 352-513-5169.
Floral City United Methodist Church continues drive-in church services Sunday at 9:30 a.m. with Pastor Joyce Dunne.

The church service is drive-in only; everybody will stay in their vehicles and tune their FM car radios to 107.3 for the service. Pastor Joyce will be set up in the portico to the right of the parking lot.
Signs at the entrance will clearly state that members and guests can tune their radios to 107.3 FM and the music will be available in a sanitized program that will be distributed at the
entrance to the parking lot. Volunteers from the church will assist in parking cars. The church expects to continue this drive-in church concept at least through the month of June, or until the state allows the reopening of reg-ular church services. The church is at 8478 E. Marvin St., Floral City; 352-344-1771.
First Lutheran Church of Inver-ness will reopen its food pantry from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday, Wednes-day and Thursday. The church has also started live services.

n The North Oak Christian Pre-school, in Citrus Springs, will offer a new curriculum for its free, volunteer 4-year-old kindergarten (VPK). With classes expected to begin in August, the school is getting ready for a bright, new school year starting with a new curriculum. The Creative Curriculum for Preschool is a comprehensive, re-search-based curriculum that features exploration and discovery as a way of learning.
The curriculum is comprised of The Foundation, six knowledge-building vol-umes that will help the teachers set up a high-quality learning environment and build a thorough understanding of best practices. The Creative Curriculum for Preschool is fully aligned with the Head Start Child Development and Early Learning Framework and Florida State early learning standards. It enables chil-dren to develop confidence, creativity, and lifelong critical thinking skills. Com-bined with Bible learning and the offer of other special activities, the preschool brings a well-rounded opportunity for 4-year-olds.
North Oak has limited spots with small groups and offers before- and af-ter-school programs at an additional charge. Pre-registration is available by
going online to northoakbc.org, and clicking on the Preschool page. An ap-plication is available there that will put families on a first-come, first-served list. When the application is received, a full orientation packet will be sent so that parents can make an informed decision.
Adding to the bright new year is a newly refurbished building and class-rooms that have been sanitized and made ready for the new group of chil-dren. There are only 20 spots, so par-ents need to act quickly to take advantage of this small-group opportu-nity to give their children the best start possible. North Oak Christian Preschool is at 9324 N. Elkcam Blvd. in Citrus Springs; email [email protected].

Associated PressA man reacts as he prays outside the Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene, popularly known as Quiapo church, as it slowly reopens its doors in Manila, Philippines, on Friday, June 5, 2020. President Rodrigo Duterte has expressed relief that "Filipinos are really law-abiding" and that the Philippines was not going through riots like America which would make coronavirus quarantine enforcement formidable.

As I mentioned yesterday, the 2002 World Bridge Champion-ships were held in Montreal, where we had expected to go in July for the Summer North Amer-ican Championships. But these have been canceled following the decision by the Quebec govern-ment to close the convention hall until at least September 1.
In 2002, the women’s McConnell Cup was won by the American
powerhouse team of Lynn Deas-Beth Palmer, Irina Levitina-Kerri Sanborn and Jill Meyers-Randi Montin.
In the diagramed deal from the final, both teams reached four spades, but the losers played it from the North side, which, at first glance, looked more favor-able, avoiding an immediate heart lead through the queen. However, after West ruffed the third heart, she shifted to a diamond.
North won with her ace and hoped to collect four club tricks. With double-dummy play includ-ing finessing the spade eight on the second round of the suit, the contract could have been made, but at the table, it was not.
In the given auction, one club just showed 16 or more points. The rest was natural.
East took the first three tricks in hearts. Then she led a fourth heart, ruffed by West’s spade nine and overruffed by dummy’s queen. Deas (South) cashed the spade king, played a spade to her eight, took the spade ace and ran the club jack. The finesse won, but when East showed out on the next club, declarer ruffed the fourth club in her hand and ran the diamond queen successfully to make her contract. Nicely played.

Movie: D-Day, the Sixth of June
Lionel Shapiro’s novel “The Sixth of June” served as the ba-sis for director Henry Koster’s character-driven 1956 combat drama, which explores the thoughts and personal history of members of a Special Forces team dispatched to take out a German gun emplacement
on the Normandy coast, hours before D-Day is to commence. The cast includes Richard Todd, a real-life veteran of the Normandy landing, along with Robert Taylor, Dana Wynter and Edmond O’Brien.

Movie: Ad AstraJames Gray’s 2019 sci-fi adven-ture is one of those baffling ex-amples of a critically acclaimed film failing to click with main-stream audiences, but while it may have lost money on its initial theater run, this beautiful movie is finally finding a new audience on cable and home video. Brad Pitt stars as an as-tronaut who ventures into space in search of his long-lost father (Tommy Lee Jones), who was last associated with a project that now threatens the solar sys-tem. Ruth Negga, Liv Tyler and Donald Sutherland also star.

The ZooCentral Park Zoo marks a series of firsts as it welcomes the fa-cility’s first-ever Atlantic puffin chick in a new episode called “A
Rare Egg.” Elsewhere, Perry the rhino undergoes a series of tests to discern what he is allergic to, and an endangered species of gecko welcomes her own very first hatchling.

Movie: Country at HeartThis 2020 romance stars Jessy Schram (“Chicago Med”) as Shayna, a struggling songwriter who’s considering abandoning her fledgling career when a chance encounter with Grady (Niall Matter) presents a big break. He’s currently working on a song for country star Duke Sterling (Lucas Bryant) and invites Shayna to be his writing partner. Romance blooms, but when Duke takes a shine to her and invites her to join his tour as an opening act, Shayna faces a tough decision.

Movie: Official SecretsKeira Knightley stars in direc-tor and co-screenwriter Gavin Hood’s 2019 docudrama, playing real-life whistleblower Katharine Gun, an employee with Britain’s Government
Communication Headquarters, who leaked an explosive memo revealing that the United States had eavesdropped on foreign diplomats who were working on a United Nations resolution relating to the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Matt Smith, Matthew Goode, Rhys Ifans, Indira Var-ma, Ralph Fiennes, Conleth Hill and Tamsin Greig also star.

Yvonne Orji: Momma, I Made It!
Interspersed with personal footage shot in Yvonne Orji’s native home of Nigeria during a January trip there, this new one-hour comedy special — filmed before a live audience at the Howard Theatre in Wash-ington, D.C. — finds the “In-secure” star reflecting on her identity as a Nigerian-Amer-ican, which comes with an addiction to international hag-gling. Orji also shares stories of how her parents tapped her phone when she was a child, and explains the fine line be-tween cursing people out and literally putting curses on them.

Dear Annie: Most people have not experienced the loss
of a loved one from the COVID-19 virus. However, my father died Friday night after fighting weeks for his life. The situation was ago-nizing and yet our friends’ reactions to it have been a bit surreal.
Here are some tips on support-ing the be-reaved based on what we have experi-enced:
Please don't ask, “How did they catch this?”
My father lived at home in a small community and was healthy otherwise. Who knows how he was exposed, and what does it matter to you?
Offer your sincere sym-pathy. My brother and I couldn't be with our father while he was hospitalized, not when he was trying to make end-of-life decisions and not even when the ventilator was disconnect-ed and he died. That added to our stress greatly. Due to the shelter-in-place order, we won't be having a funer-al service. Our father was cremated without us being able to view his body once more.
Take the extra step and send a sympathy card or text, or phone the loved ones. There is no shame in a COVID-19 death; please don't ignore it.
Don't say, “Let me know if you need anything.” Just do something. Drop off a homemade meal or a floral bouquet, or order a pizza to be delivered.
Most importantly, please do not say how much this pandemic has inconve-nienced you, or how tired you are of the restrictions. Additionally, I don't want to hear people's political views. I just want to know that people are going to be safe so that they — or their loved ones — don't have to go through this same wretched experience. — Mourning in Morton, IL
Dear Mourning: I am so sorry that this terrible dis-ease took your father's life. It's always agonizing when a loved one dies, but losing someone during this pan-demic presents additional heartache — not being able to be beside them in their final moments, not being able to view the body, not being able to hold a funeral or perform other import-ant rites. And for many, it means grieving in isolation.
What an unnecessary burden to be dealing with stigmatization on top of such devastation. I hope you and your family will experience more compas-sion in the weeks to come.
Dear Annie: Several of the letters you have addressed in your column involve persons who are dealing with sexual urges, compul-sions, etc. Mostly the letters are from wives of men who can't seem to stay away from porn, have numerous affairs or have other sexu-ally related problems.
I urge you to advise such people to contact Sex Addicts Anonymous at https://saa-recovery.org/iso/ for more information. The website includes a list of meetings around the coun-try and has a lot of written material available. As a re-covering sex addict whose life has been significantly improved as a result of SAA, I know the help it can bring — both to the sufferer and to his/her spouse and family. Thank you and keep up the good work. — Bruce in Tallahassee
Dear Bruce: Thank you for sharing your journey toward recovery. I've heard from several readers over the years who have made great progress thanks to SAA, and I'm glad to recom-mend it here.
