If you’re traveling southbound on U.S. 19 and turn left into the Crystal River McDonald’s to get your Big Mac and fries, are you breaking the law?

Crystal River City Manager Dave Burnell says yes, because there are double yellow lines directly in front of the fast-food restaurant.

It’s just flat-out unsafe, he said, es-pecially when so many vehicles are merging onto U.S. 19 after turning right from State Road 44.

Some cats will do any-thing to avoid being neutered.

Lil Guy, a feral cat from Beverly Hills, escaped his cage Wednesday morning at Humanitarians of Flor-ida, scampered up a closed door and vaulted from the doorjamb right through a ceiling tile, where he disap-peared into the dark.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump abruptly revoked the security clearance of ex-CIA Director John Brennan on Wednesday, an unprece-dented act of retribution against a vo-cally critical former top U.S. official.

Trump also threatened to yank the clearances of eight former officials and a current one, mostly top intelligence and law enforcement officials from the Obama and previous administrations.

It’s a first for Humanitar-ians, a not-for-profit which has offered low-cost spay and neuter services since 2002, longtime group direc-tor Donna Schmid said.

“We did hear him. He’s up there,” office manager Stephenie Gunn said.

Workers set several traps in the ceiling, and planned to set more be-fore leaving Wednesday night, assured they’ll find Lil Guy trapped and well fed by morning.

And now the story:Linda Townsend and

her husband had noticed the feral wandering into their side yard near the pool cage.

“We have indoor cats,” she said.

Mrs. Townsend looked up online information about the county’s TNR — trap, neuter and return — program, which allows residents to capture feral cats, have them sterilized and then released back into the wild.

She called Humanitari-ans of Florida, and said making an appointment would be difficult because the cat doesn’t come by every day. She said the re-ceptionist said to drop by any Monday through Wednesday morning.

Humanitarians, which conducts about 15 TNR ser-vices a week, will only ac-cept feral cats in carriers or traps, and Townsend was told that. Townsend said she tried to get the cat, which she named Lil Guy, into her cat carrier and was getting ready to leave the house when she noticed the cat busting through to escape.

She said she told Human-itarians she was bringing the cat in a dog crate.

Schmid said Humani-tarians requires a carrier or trap for a reason — they make it easier to sedate and handle the cat.

“We wanted to do the lady a favor,” she said.

The dog crate was cov-ered with a blanket to calm the cat, which Gunn said wasn’t aggressive but was scared.

As a technician went to place the crate on the floor,

Lil Guy pushed the bottom pad out just enough to scoot through the crate’s opening underneath, and up into the ceiling space he went.

“We’re responsible. No one’s saying we’re not,” Schmid said. “We do apol-ogize for this happening.”

Townsend was livid.“This is supposed to be

their areas of expertise,” she said. “This should be routine.”

Townsend said she fears the cat may suffer from heat exhaustion in an area she referred to as an attic.

Schmid and Gunn said it’s not an attic, that there is plenty of room between the ceiling tiles and the roof, and that it’s not hot.

Should Lil Guy find his way out of the ceiling Wednesday night, motion detectors will pick up his whereabouts for workers to locate him, Gunn said.

“I don’t think that cat is in danger up there,” Schmid said. “Feral cats are very intelligent. They can sur-vive through an awful lot.”

state of Florida — and asked whether it is legal to turn left into that McDonald’s.

The answer, accompa-nied by drum roll, is ... yes.

Even though there are double-yellow lines, there are no raised medians preventing people from turning.

It’s also legal to turn left into the adjacent Shell Station, which also has cross-hatched lines.

Here’s the technical an-swer from the Florida D e p a r t m e n t o f Transportation:

“These yellow cross-hatched markings simply transition traffic away from the area developed for an auxiliary left turn lane (i.e. area where an obstruction is located/ vehicle stopped to make a left turn), and are consid-ered optional in the FDOT standards.”

However, just because drivers can legally turn,

these left turn lanes “should not be miscon-strued as being a safety zone,” FDOT said.

Apparently, not all law-enforcement officials are on the same page.

FDOT spokeswoman Kris Carson said people have gotten tickets for making these kinds of left

turns in other areas of the state and have called her department.

So carry on, McDon-ald’s fans — just be sure you look carefully before turning left.

As the Citrus United Way’s ReadingPals program enters its fourth year, there’s good news and bad news.

Bad news first: At a re-cent United Way Read-ingPals conference, it was announced that funding for the Reading Pals program is being cut from $80,000 a year to $42,500 — nearly in half, said

Citrus United Way Executive Di-rector Amy Meek.

The good news comes with a challenge: The first five United

Ways to have 200 active ReadingPals volunteers will receive an addi-tional $10,000.

“We’re 23 volunteers away,” Meek said.

The literacy program pairs one volunteer with the same two students for 30 weeks for one hour a week. Sessions

involve reading to them,

engaging in reading-related ac-tivities to build vocabulary and reading comprehension, and get-ting to know them.

“The curriculum is simple,” Meek said. “All you need is to love kids and love reading.”

Volunteers will receive train-ing and must pass a background check.

Since 2015, the ReadingPals program for VPK students has been in 17 local schools — 11 el-ementary schools and six private childcare centers.

The kindergarten program,

which started in two schools, is in its second year and is currently in three schools: Rock Crusher Ele-mentary School, Hernando Ele-mentary School and Forest Ridge Elementary School.

“So, we really need that extra funding,” Meek said.

To volunteer or for more infor-mation, call Cheri Simek, Citrus United Way ReadingPals coordi-nator, at 352-795-5483.

erate his Ford and Lincoln dealership in Inverness.

Lamb did not say how much he paid for the dealership. The dealership has been situated north of Crystal River on U.S. 19 since the late 1980s.

“Adding Ford and Lincoln to our line-up is a great fit for us,” Lamb said.

In related news:n Lamb’s new Harley-Davidson dealer-

ship on U.S. 19 between Crystal River

and Homosassa opened Aug. 8.Lamb has said a grand opening cele-

Kelli KeNNedy Associated Press

PARKLAND — Students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School returned to a more se-cure campus on Wednesday as they began their first new school year since a gunman killed 17 people in the freshman build-ing. But some say they still won’t feel protected despite $6.5 mil-lion in security enhancements, including 18 safety monitors, new classroom locks and up-graded video surveillance.

All the students wore lanyards with IDs around their necks as

they walked past a heavy police presence, in what has become their new normal. Volunteers greeted them with German shep-herds, and a helicopter hovered overhead as a throng of media watched from across the street.

Three school resource offi-cers, three security specialists and a dozen campus monitors will be on patrol. They’ll be keeping watch at new fences and gates at the beginning and end of the school day, keeping out all but staff and students wearing ID badges.

Visitors will have only one way in, and they’ll be screened through a video intercom sys-tem. The district had planned to add metal detectors but reversed course amid concerns over pri-vacy and the impracticality of trying to clear thousands of stu-dents before each day’s morning bell.

New cases brings measles count to 3

ST. PETERSBURG — Officials say two more cases of measles have been diagnosed in a Florida county where an unvaccinated child came down with the illness earlier this week.

The Florida Department of Health

said Wednesday the two individuals live in the same household and also weren’t immunized. The first individ-ual lives in a separate household.

The new cases bring the number of individuals with measles to three in Pinellas County, along Florida’s Gulf Coast.

Officials urged parents to vacci-nate their children.

Security costs for Rick Scott rise againTALLAHASSEE — Florida taxpay-

ers are spending millions to guard Gov. Rick Scott and provide security for visiting politicians.

A new report released showed that the state spent $3.3 million on security between July 2017 and June 2018.

Most of that total was to provide around-the-clock protection for the governor and First Lady Ann Scott. That includes the salaries and travel expenses for the agents who guard Scott wherever he goes.

Scott is running for U.S. Senate and this year his campaign has reim-bursed the state more than $49,000.

Pearl Jam poster of burning White House

HELENA, Mont. — Republi-cans on Wednesday condemned a poster by Pearl Jam that shows the White House in flames and a bald eagle pecking at a skeleton they say is meant to depict Presi-dent Donald Trump.

The National Republican Sen-ate Committee compared it to the now-infamous photo of co-median Kathy Griffin holding a fake decapitated Trump head.

The rock group’s Twitter ac-count says the official poster from Monday’s concert in Mis-soula, Montana, is a collabora-tion between bassist Jeff Ament and Bobby Brown, an artist also known as Bobby Draws Skulls.

The “Rock2Vote” concert aimed to encourage young people to vote in the November midterm elections and support Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Tester of Montana, who is from Ament’s hometown of Big Sandy.

The poster includes an ac-companying message from Ament that says, “Y’all know the deal, we’re at a tipping point and its (sic) time for action.”

The poster shows Tester in a tractor flying over a burning Washington, D.C., framed by the letters “P’’ and ”J,“ with smoke forming the word ”Vote” in the background.

Several objects and people are in the foreground, including a skeleton with a full head of hair lying face down, an eagle peck-ing at the bones of its foot.

Tester’s Republican opponent, Montana State Auditor Matt Rosendale, also is depicted with a crab claw for a hand and carry-ing a “Maryland” flag, a reference to Rosendale’s native state.

Academy program boosts Hollywood

dreamersLOS ANGELES — The diver-

sity crisis in Hollywood may rage on, but the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences con-tinues to try to open up access to the entertainment business for people from underrepresented communities and give some a foot in the door at the most criti-cal moment — when college graduation is in sight and the job market is looming.

For seven weeks this summer, 107 college students from across the nation convened in Los Angeles for internships at places like HBO, Warner Bros., Dolby Laboratories, Universal Pictures, IMAX and AMC Net-works, in addition to film screen-ings and weekly panels on various aspects of the film indus-try from people at the top of their fields.

Notable speakers this summer included cinematographer Ja-nusz Kaminski (“Schindler’s

List”), production designer K.K. Barrett (“Her”), “Sorry to Bother You” director Boots Riley and actress Lily Collins, who dished on the casting process. Cinema-tography and production design students even got to work with Daryn Okada, an academy gov-ernor, to recreate a scene from “Mean Girls,” which Okada shot.

The program, now in its sec-ond year, continues to evolve. In addition to giving spots to over 30 additional students, this year Academy Gold added a Produc-tion Track program for students interested in cinematography, production design, post-produc-tion and film editing.

The statistics remain dire in the entertainment business job market for anyone who isn’t a white, straight, able-bodied male. A survey from the Center for the Study of Women in Tele-vision and Film found that of the top 100 grossing films of 2017, two percent had female cinema-tographers and 14 percent had female editors.

responsibility to protect the nation’s classified information.”

However, Democratic congressmen said it smacked of an “enemies list” among fellow Ameri-cans and the behavior of leaders in “dictatorships, not democracies.” Bren-nan tweeted: “My princi-ples are worth far more than clearances. I will not relent.”

Trump’s action, critics and nonpartisan experts said, marked an unprece-dented politicization of the federal government’s security clearance pro-cess. It also was a clear escalation in Trump’s bat-tle with members of the U.S. intelligence commu-nity he inherited and has attempted to reorient since he took office.

And it came in the mid-dle of the president’s latest controversy — accusations of racism by former assis-tant Omarosa Manigault Newman and his bitter re-action to them. Trump’s statement, distributed to reporters, was dated July 26, 2018, suggesting it could have been held and then released when needed to change a damag-ing subject.

Trump, in a statement read by his press secretary and distributed by the White House, accused Brennan of having “lever-aged his status as a former high-ranking official with access to highly sensitive information to make a se-ries of unfounded and out-rageous allegations, wild outbursts on the internet and television about this administration.”

“Mr. Brennan’s lying and recent conduct char-acterized by increasingly frenzied commentary is wholly inconsistent with access to the nation’s most closely held secrets,” the statement said.

Brennan has indeed been deeply critical of Trump’s conduct, calling his performance at a press conference last month with Russian Pres-ident Vladimir Putin in Finland “nothing short of treasonous.”

He said of Trump’s order on Wednesday, “This

action is part of a broader effort by Mr. Trump to sup-press freedom of speech & punish critics. It should gravely worry all Ameri-cans, including intelli-gence professionals, about the cost of speaking out.” Brennan said he learned of Trump’s action only when the White House an-nounced it.

Former intelligence of-ficials are wondering how far Trump will go, accord-ing to a former senior in-telligence official who spoke on condition of an-onymity to share private conversations he’s had with people who have worked in the field.

They said Trump has moved from threatening to revoke security clear-ances of former intelli-gence officials who have not been involved in the Russia investigation to former officials who did work on the probe.

Trump’s statement said the Brennan issue raises larger questions about the practice of allowing for-mer officials to maintain their security clearances, and said that others offi-cials were under review.

They include former FBI Director James Comey; James Clapper, the former director of national intelligence; former CIA Director Michael Hayden; former national security adviser Susan Rice and Andrew McCabe, who served as Trump’s deputy FBI director until he was fired in March.

Also on the list: fired FBI agent Peter Strzok, former FBI lawyer Lisa Page and senior Justice Department official Bruce Ohr, whom the president has tweeted about recently.

At least two of the for-mer officials, Comey and McCabe, do not currently have security clearances, and none of the eight re-ceive intelligence brief-ings. Trump’s concern apparently is that their former status gives spe-cial weight to their state-ments, both to Americans and foreign foes.

Ohr is the only current government employee on the list.

Former CIA directors and other top national se-curity officials are typi-cally allowed to keep their clearances, at least

for some period, so they can be in a position to ad-vise their successors and to hold certain jobs.

The office of the Direc-tor of National Intelli-gence Dan Coats declined to comment on Trump’s decision to revoke Bren-nan’s security clearance. The CIA referred ques-tions to the White House.

Clapper, reacting on CNN, said he didn’t plan to stop speaking out when asked about the Trump administration.

“If they’re saying that the only way I can speak is to be in an adulation mode of this president. I’m sorry, I don’t think I can sign up to that,” Clap-per said, adding: “This is at least in my memory unprecedented.”

Asked what linked those threatened by the White House, Clapper said he and the others have been outspoken about the Trump administration, have “directly run afoul of it” or have taken actions the president dislikes.

“So I guess that’s what we all have in common,” Clapper said.

When Trump first threatened to revoke for-mer high-ranking national security officials’ clear-ances, former Brennan deputy chief of staff Nick Shapiro said Brennan had not made any money off his clearance and “doesn’t need a security clearance to speak out against the failings of Trump.”

Sheriff ’s investigators discovered in mid-June that Chappory had been giving Pate and her mother prescription pills in exchange for information and sexual fa-vors from Pate, the affidavits state.

Without telling Pate, deputies on July 10 executed a warrant to search Chappory’s home off Cross Lane, and seized his cellphone. Chappory was also arrested during the raid and charged with unlawfully possessing alprazolam.

Later that day, sheriff ’s detectives held a briefing with Pate about plans to raid Chappory’s home.

Following the briefing, Pate, believing police had not searched Chappory’s home, went outside the sheriff ’s head-quarters and made numerous phone calls.

Detectives, who at that point were in possession of Chappory’s cellphone, saw the calls coming into his cellphone a couple minutes later from “restricted numbers,” according to the affidavits.

Detectives then questioned Pate’s mother, who told them her daughter called her to say deputies were going to search Chappory’s home. Pate’s mother said she then tried calling Chappory and his mother to warn them, the affida-vits show.

In an interview with detectives, Pate admitted to calling her mother after the search warrant briefing and informing her of the impending raid.

As the case is still an open investiga-tion, the sheriff ’s office would not com-ment beyond what’s stated in the affidavits, sheriff ’s spokeswoman Lind-say Blair said.

Marcia Dunn AP aerospace writer

CAPE CANAVERAL — Russian cosmonauts took a spacewalk Wednesday to fling tiny satellites into orbit and install an an-tenna for tracking birds on Earth.

Soon after leaving the International Space Sta-tion, Sergey Prokopyev released all four research satellites by hand.

“I’m ready for the launch,” Prokopyev told Russian flight control-lers near Moscow.

The first satellite tum-bled away as the space station soared 250 miles above Illinois. By the time the fourth one was on its way 14 minutes later, the station was al-most to Spain. Two were the size of a tissue box, while the other two were longer.

Prokopyev and Oleg Artemyev then turned their attention to a German-led, animal- tracking project known as Icarus , short for In-ternational Cooperation for Animal Research Using Space.

The space station is an ideal perch for the an-tenna, compared with a satellite, said project di-rector Martin Wikelski of the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Ger-many. That’s because spacewalkers could fix something if necessary and the computer is bet-ter protected from space radiation, he noted.

The project will start out tracking blackbirds and turtle doves with small GPS tags, then move on to other song-birds, fruit bats and big-ger wildlife.

Wikelski said re-searchers have ear tags for big mammals like ga-zelle, jaguars, camels

and elephants, as well as leg-band tags for larger birds such as storks. The tags are easy to wear and should not bother the ani-mals, he noted.

Wikelski, who watched the spacewalk from Rus-sian Mission Control out-side Moscow, said researchers can better understand animal be-havior through lifelong monitoring. Among the

things to learn: where the animals migrate, and how they grow up and manage to survive.

“We also learn where, when and why they die,” he explained in an email, “so we can protect our wild pets.”

The space station is also home to three Amer-icans and one German. They have two space-walks next month.

Phyllis Dean, 67

Phyllis Reeves Dean, 67 years young, entered the garden of peace on August 10, 2018 to walk with our Lord and Savior. Phyllis battled glioblas-

t o m a brain can-cer for over 20 m o n t h s . P h y l l i s , A K A “Muggsy”, lit up e v e r y room she

entered with her beautiful smile and loving vivacious personality. She owned her own transcription company. Words were her world, which made the aphasia that accompanies brain cancer even more cruel. Even so, she battled on while making everyone around her laugh and find joy in her company. Muggsy made everyone just feel happier to be in her presence. Muggsy was an inspiration and a strong willed lady with a passion for life.

Phyllis was born in Springfield, MA to the late Colonel Joseph Samuel Reeves and Winnifred R. Helms Reeves on October 3, 1950. Her fa-ther was a decorated vet-eran who flew in the Berlin Air Lift, and flew the wounded out of Korea. She was raised in Cuper-tino, California as well as Honolulu, HI while her fa-ther was stationed at Hickam Air Force Base.

Phyllis was preceded in death by her parents, her brother Gordon Walter Reeves, and her aunt Irene Reeves Ferguson. Phyllis is survived by her aunt, Louise McClain Reeves of Philadelphia, PA; her loving friend Car-rie L. Hall of Homosassa, FL, and the many friends that stood by her side right to the end. She will be for-ever cherished and never forgotten.

Per her wishes, a pri-vate burial has been ar-ranged. We want to thank Hospice of Citrus and the Nature Coast for their con-tinuous care of our Muggsy, and donations to Hospice of Citrus and the Nature Coast in honor of Phyllis Reeves Dean are greatly appreciated to P.O.

Ben & Jerry’s has new CEO focused on social impact

BURLINGTON, Vt. — Ice cream maker Ben & Jerry’s has a new CEO who has challenged the company to “double its social impact.”

Matthew McCarthy became CEO on July 1. The marketing executive is a veteran of Ben & Jerry’s parent company, Anglo-Dutch con-sumer goods multinational Unilever, where he has worked for 21 years.

The maker of Chunky Monkey and Cherry Garcia said McCarthy led some other Unilever brands to adopt food production standards similar to Ben & Jerry’s, such as Hellman’s using certified cage-free eggs in its mayon-naise. He and his team also created Unilever’s first organic snacking brand which supports U.S. urban farming.

McCarthy replaces Jostein Solheim, who served as CEO for eight years.

Report: SEC subpoenas Tesla about CEO’s buyout plans

SAN FRANCISCO — Government regula-tors have subpoenaed Tesla as they dig deeper into CEO Elon Musk’s recent disclo-sure about a potential buyout of the electric car maker, according to media reports.

The subpoena from the Securities and Ex-change Commission demands information from each of Tesla’s nine directors, according to a story published Wednesday in The Wall Street Journal. The newspaper cited an un-identified person familiar with the matter after

Fox Business News reported the SEC’s move.Both Tesla and the SEC declined to com-

ment Wednesday.The SEC opened an inquiry shortly after

Musk surprised investors with an Aug. 7 tweet revealing that he had lined up the financing to buy all the Tesla stock from shareholders will-ing to sell.

The subpoena signals regulators have now opened a formal investigation into whether Musk was telling the truth in his tweet about have financing locked up for a deal that ana-lysts have estimated would require $25 billion to $50 billion.

Under a scenario sketched out by Musk in a Monday blog post , the deal would cost at the lower end of those estimates. Musk also re-vealed in the same post that he had been talking to Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund about providing the money for a buyout that would end Tesla’s eight-year history as a publicly held company, but he added that the financing was still contingent on due diligence.

Corporate governance experts say that ca-veat shows the financing of the deal isn’t final-ized, as Musk initially indicated, a contradiction that could be used to prove he deliberately misled investors with his tweet.

After Musk dropped his bombshell, Tesla’s stock surged 11 percent in one day, damaging a class of investors who had been betting the company’s shares would decline. Musk has had a long-running battle with that group of in-vestors, who are known as “short sellers” in Wall Street’s parlance.

Mining companies fell along with metals prices as copper hit its low-est price in a year.

Utility companies, which pay big div-idends, rose as bond yields dropped.

The oil and gas company agreed to be bought by Diamondback Energy for about $9 billion in stock.

Technology companies slumped af-ter Tencent, the most valuable Chi-nese technology company, said its profit fell in the second quarter.

The retailer raised its annual fore-casts but said its sales slipped in the second quarter.

Worries about global economic growth caused a selloff of tech-nology stocks, copper and crude oil Wednesday. An unexpected drop in profits for Chinese tech giant Tencent surprised inves-tors and added to recent con-cerns about the health of Chi-na’s economy.

China worries send stocks into slide

Associated Press

NEW YORK — Deepen-ing worries about global economic growth, particu-larly in China, set off a rout in riskier assets in-cluding technology stocks, copper and crude oil Wednesday. U.S. retailers took a drubbing after Ma-cy’s reported weaker sales.

An unexpected drop in profits for Chinese tech giant Tencent surprised investors and added to some recent concerns about the health of China’s economy. Tencent, a gam-ing and messaging com-pany, is the most valuable technology company in China.

Earlier this week, re-ports on growth in factory output, consumer spend-ing and retail sales in China were all slower than expected.

Large technology com-panies including Alibaba and Baidu of China and U.S. tech giants including Facebook and Microsoft fell.

Oil prices sank and cop-per plunged to its lowest price in a year as investors worried about the health of the global economy. The S&P 500 index had its big-gest decline since late June while traditionally safe investments like

bonds and high-dividend stocks rose.

“This year we’ve seen slower growth. Everyone expected that,” said Kate Warne, an investment strategist for Edward Jones. “Over the last cou-ple of months it looks like growth has been slower than everyone expected.”

The S&P 500 slid 21.59 points, or 0.8 percent, to 2,818.37. Earlier it fell as much as 1.3 percent.

The Dow Jones Indus-trial Average fell 137.51 points, or 0.5 percent, to 25,162.41. The Nasdaq composite dropped 96.78 points, or 1.2 percent, to 7,774.12. The Russell 2000 index of smaller-company stocks sank 21.91 points, or 1.3 percent, to 1,670.67.

Jefferies & Co. analyst Karen Chan said Tencent’s revenue was also disap-pointing, mostly because of weak results from its mobile gaming business.

Tencent’s stock fell 3.6 percent in Hong Kong. The U.S.-listed shares of online retailer JD.com fell 4.5 percent to $32.36 and web search company Baidu gave up 1.3 percent to $213.47.

U.S. crude sagged 3 per-cent to $65.01 a barrel in New York and Brent crude, the standard for in-ternational oil prices, lost 2.3 percent to $70.76 a

barrel in London.Copper tumbled 4.5 per-

cent to $2.56 a pound, its lowest price in more than a year.

Copper is considered an important economic indi-cator because of its uses in construction and power generation, and copper fu-tures have fallen more than 20 percent since they hit an annual high of $3.30 a pound in early June.

Macy ’s p lunged 15.9 percent to $35.15 after reporting that its sales slowed in the second quar-ter. Kohl’s shed 5.8 percent to $74.39.

Department stores have struggled for years as in-vestors worried about the growing threat of Amazon and other online shopping options. Wednesday’s losses interrupted a huge rebound for the stocks in 2018.

Bond prices rose. The yield on the 10-year Trea-sury note fell to 2.86 per-cent from 2.89 percent.

Banks fell because of a sharp drop in interest rates, which make mort-gage and other loans less profitable. High-dividend companies like utilities and phone companies did better than the rest of the market. Investors often treat them as an alterna-tive to bonds and buy them when yields fall.

Business BRIEFS

OpiniOnPage A8 - THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 2018

It’s Homosassa’s turnThe recent “Homosassa de-

serves a community park” ed-itorial (Aug. 9, page A8) is one of the most pressing and im-portant issues that has come before the board of county commissioners in a long, long time.

Crystal River has the Three Sisters Springs, and the newly built and expanding water-front walkway for visitors to enjoy. Inverness has the con-stant growth in and around Lake Apopka of exceptional parks and recreational areas easily connecting to the his-toric downtown district. And what does Homosassa have, other than a few bars and restaurants on the banks of the Homosassa River?

We now have in hand a $850,000 grant from the Flor-ida Department of Environ-mental Protection that can be used towards the purchase of 2.3 acres of waterfront prop-erty, with the promise of a gift of the balance of the pur-chase price, and for some crazy reason or another, no-body can figure out how to buy the property and create a beautiful waterfront commu-nity park for the citizens of Old Homosassa. We have a solid promise of “cash in hand” and (1) a perfect water-front site, (2) a willing seller, (3) a willing buyer (whoever that will be) and (4) two rental properties on the site which will provide monthly mainte-nance money for the park’s upkeep, and all everyone can do is sit around and point fin-gers at each other about how to accomplish something which should be a no-brainer.

I have lived in Homosassa for close to 25 years, and among many payback efforts over the years, have been one of the founders of the Homo-sassa River Alliance, and for many years the Master of Cer-emonies of the Seafood Festi-val, and I am now the chairman of the board of the Homosassa Special Water District (I’m running again this year for Seat No. 4). I cannot for the life of me un-derstand what the problem, and/or the holdup is for ac-complishing this amazing op-portunity to create something beautiful and wonderful in downtown Homosassa. Lets face it, it’s our turn, so lets “Get ‘er Done.”

Cops in schools are a terrible ideaWho or what group of “can’t

see past their noses” came up with this stupidity of a cop in every school? If I were to try to list all the reasons of how dumb it is, I would end up with a tome about the size of Web-ster’s Dictionary, but here’s just a couple to start with:

1. A cop would be paid at a rate about twice the rate of teachers, to teach the kids that violence pays! Look at the money. What a teacher gives the child is something to carry on forever. But the violence part stays with the child.

2. Guess where all this extra money is coming from?

3. In the event that a person in school decides to go on a “go get ’em venture,” they would want to know where that cop is.

4. Can you as a parent or taxpayer think of anything dumber? (I didn’t think so!)

Thanks to all who made it possible

If you have been to Old Ho-mosassa over the past few weeks, you may have noticed that the Old Homosassa Water Tower is wearing a brand new shiny coat of bright blue paint and the logo has been restored.

Over four years ago, a small group of Citrus County con-cerned citizens created the nonprofit group, Old Homo-sassa Historical Preservation Society. Their main purpose at the time was to save the Old Homosassa Water Tower from destruction. After pur-chasing the water tower from the Homosassa Special Water District, the group joined with the Citrus County Histor-ical Society as the Old Homo-sassa Heritage Council (OHHC).

I have been very fortunate to be part of this dedicated team almost from the beginning, first as a member and now the historian and the correspond-ing secretary for OHHC.

OHHC crunched the num-bers and decided that we needed $60,000 to repair, re-structure and paint the his-torical landmark. Thanks to generous monetary dona-tions, numerous fundraisers, and the energy and dedica-tion of the members, OHHC was able reach that goal. The repair and restructuring took place as soon as the group raised the first $25,000 back in June of 2016. And in August of 2018 the water tower was painted!

Our fundraising isn’t fin-ished yet, though. We still need to do landscaping, replace the fencing, and add lighting. But we are almost there!

And then we can take on our next project!

Thank you to everyone who donated money, raffle items, energy, and time to make this possible!

For an issue someone would like to get in the paper, which the matter should have been handled a long time ago: When they empty the septic system at fast food stops, they should use chemicals for the bad odor that it leaves in the air of the town. Maybe it will let the people think and act a little more thoughtful about health reasons and they would ask the commissioners to see that that matter is taken care of.

As previously reported in the Chronicle, the circuit judge position that will

appear on the ballot in Citrus County will actually sit full time in Hernando County. The vacancy created by Judge Thomas’ retirement is being filled via transfer by Judge Peter Brigham who currently spends the majority of his time in Hernando.

I have served Her-nando County for the last 16 years as the supervisor of the State Attorney’s Office and as the elected Clerk of Circuit Court. I am fortunate to have been en-dorsed in Hernando County by the sheriff, state attorney, tax collector, property appraiser, law enforcement community

and the firefighters. I would en-courage your readers to go to the state of Florida’s Division of Elections website to see the humbling support I have re-

ceived in this race.Why have so many

public officials and community leaders been willing to en-dorse and financially support my cam-paign? I have earned their trust and re-spect through my ac-tions. I spent the first 21 years of my career protecting my com-munity as a police officer, major crimes detective, FBI agent

and as a prosecutor. In 2011, I moved over to the Clerk’s Office and was elected to serve as Clerk the following year.

In addition to being the elected Clerk, I have served as

my own general counsel since my arrival. That means for the last seven years I have been the attorney for a complex, $7 mil-lion organization handling all of its legal needs. I have also provided legal assistance to my 115 team members in matters ranging from all 10 court divi-sions to official records and county finance.

It is my sincere hope that your readers will carefully compare the qualifications of the candidates for this import-ant job. If they do, I am confi-dent that they will agree with the elected officials, attorneys, and other community leaders around the 5th Circuit that have stepped forward to sup-port my campaign.

Don Barbee Jr. is candidate for 5th Circuit Judge.

ENOUGH’S ENOUGH

Attacks on news media irresponsibleWe ’ v e b e e n

complacent.We thought every-

body knew how important a free press was to our world and that all this talk about us being the enemy of the people would be dis-missed for the silliness that it is.

But the reck-less attacks have continued, insti-gated and en-couraged by our president.

When the leader of the free world works to erode the public’s trust in the media, the potential for damage is enormous, both here and abroad. We once set an example of free and open government for the world to follow. Now those who seek to suppress the free flow of information are doing so with impunity.

The time has come for us to stand up to the bullying. The role journalism plays in our free society is too crucial to allow this degradation to continue.

We aren’t the enemy of the people. We are the people. We aren’t fake news. We are your news and we struggle night and day to get the facts right.

On bitter cold January nights, we’re the people’s eyes and ears at town, vil-lage and school board meet-ings. We tell the stories of our communities, from the fun of a county fair to the de-spair a family faces when a loved one is killed.

We are always by your side. We shop the same stores, at-tend the same churches and hike the same trails. We struggle with daycare and worry about paying for retirement.

In our work as journalists, our first loyalty is to you. Our work is guided by a set of principles that demand ob-jectivity, independence, open-mindedness and the

pursuit of the truth. We make mistakes, we know. There’s nothing we hate more than errors but we acknowl-edge them, cor-rect them and learn from them.

Our work is a labor of love because we love our country and believe we are playing a vital role in our democracy. Self-governance demands that our citizens need to be well-informed and that’s what we’re here to do. We go beyond the government-is-sued press release or brief-ing and ask tough questions. We hold people in power ac-countable for their actions. Some think we’re rude to question and challenge. We know it’s our obligation.

People have been criticiz-ing the press for generations. We are not perfect. But we’re striving every day to be a bet-ter version of ourselves than we were the day before.

That’s why we welcome criticism. But unwarranted attacks that undermine your trust in us cannot stand. The problem has become so seri-ous that newspapers across the nation are speaking out against these attacks in one voice today on their editorial pages.

As women’s rights pioneer and investigative journalist Ida B. Wells wrote in 1892: “The people must know be-fore they can act and there is no educator to compare with the press.”

THE ISSUE:Free press.

OUR OPINION:It’s about pursuit

of the truth.

Republican Patricia Mor-gan visited Cranston City Hall on Wednesday to per-sonally challenge Mayor Allan Fung to a series of primary debates. She did not go alone. Morgan took “Al the Debate Chicken,” who was a volunteer dressed in a chicken suit.

Morgan has repeatedly faulted Fung for his refusal to participate in the typical pre-primary debates that take place for gubernatorial campaigns.

Study: Smokers better off

quitting, even with weight gainNEW YORK — If you quit

smoking and gain weight, it may seem like you’re trad-ing one set of health prob-lems for another. But a new U.S. study finds you’re still better off in the long run.

The Harvard-led study found that compared with smokers, even the quitters who gained the most weight had at least a 50 percent lower risk of dying prema-turely from heart disease and other causes.

The nicotine in cigarettes can suppress appetite and boost metabolism. Many people who quit find they eat more and gain weight. A lot of weight gain is a cause of the most common form of diabetes.

The researchers tracked more than 170,000 men and women over roughly 20 years. The New England Journal of Medicine pub-lished the study Wednesday.

Suicide bomber targets Shiite students in

Kabul, killing 48KABUL, Afghanistan — A

suicide bomber struck a pri-vate education center in a Shiite neighborhood of Kabul on Wednesday where high school gradu-ates were preparing for uni-versity entrance exams, killing 48 young men and women and leaving behind a scene of devastation and tragedy.

The bombing, blamed on the Islamic State group, was the latest assault on Af-ghanistan’s Shiite commu-nity, which has increasingly been targeted by Sunni ex-tremists who consider Shi-ites to be heretics.

The spokesman for the public health ministry, Wahid Majroh, said 67 peo-ple were also wounded in the bombing and that the death toll — which steadily rose in the immediate after-math of the bombing — could rise further. He did not say if all the victims were students and whether any of their teachers were also among the casualties.

Victims want a full reckoningRarely happens in church sex abuse scandals

Denise LavoieAP legal affairs writer

Six Roman Catholic dioceses in Pennsylvania joined the list this week of those around the U.S. that have been forced to face the ugly truth about child-molesting priests in their ranks.

But in dozens of other dioceses, there has been no reckoning, lead-ing victims to wonder if the church will ever truly take responsibility or be held accountable.

“It happens everywhere, so it’s not really so much a question of where has it happened, but in-stead, where has word gotten out, where is information about it ac-cessible?” said Terry McKiernan, founder of BishopAccountability.org, a Massachusetts-based non-profit group that tracks clergy sex-ual abuse cases.

Since the crisis exploded in Boston in 2002, dioceses around the country have dealt with simi-lar revelations, with many of them forced to acknowledge

widespread sexual abuse because of aggressive plaintiffs’ attorneys, assertive prosecutors or relentless journalists.

In a few instances, namely in Tucson, Arizona, and Seattle, dio-ceses voluntarily named names.

Dioceses in Boston; Los Ange-les; Seattle; Portland, Oregon; Denver; San Diego; Louisville,

Kentucky; and Dallas have all paid multimillion-dollar settle-ments to victims. Fifteen dioceses and three Catholic religious or-ders have filed for bankruptcy to deal with thousands of lawsuits.

Still, only about 40 of the nearly 200 dioceses in the U.S. have re-leased lists of priests accused of abusing children, and there have

been only nine investigations by a prosecutor or grand jury of a Cath-olic diocese or archdiocese in the U.S., according to Bishop Accountability.org.

In many of the dioceses that have been examined, the numbers have been staggering: in the six Pennsylvania dioceses, 300 abu-sive priests and more than 1,000 victims since the 1940s; in Boston, at least 250 priests and more than 500 victims.

All told, U.S. bishops have ac-knowledged that more than 17,000 people nationwide have re-ported being molested by priests and others in the church going back to 1950.

Mitchell Garabedian, a Boston lawyer who estimates he has rep-resented 3,000 clergy sex abuse victims from around the world since the 1990s, said he has sent letters detailing about two dozen allegations of abuse against priests from dioceses in Michigan, Ohio and Rhode Island and received similar responses from all three.

“They say, ‘We feel very sorry for your clients, but it’s outside the statute of limitations,’” Garabe-dian said, adding, “The church knows there is no legal recourse, so the church says it will not act responsibly and will not act appropriately.”

Associated PressThe Most Rev. Joseph C. Bambera, Bishop of the Diocese of Scranton, discusses the release of the grand jury clergy sex abuse report that identifies 59 religious leaders in his diocese, during a press conference Tuesday in Scranton, Pa.

Not just land; oceans are in hot water, tooChristina Larson

AP science writer

WASHINGTON — Even the oceans are breaking temperature records in this summer of heat waves.

Off the San Diego coast, scientists earlier this month recorded all-time high seawater tempera-tures since daily measure-ments began in 1916.

“Just like we have heat waves on land, we also have heat waves in the ocean,” said Art Miller of the Scripps Institution of

Oceanography.Between 1982 and 2016,

the number of “marine heat waves” roughly dou-bled, and likely will be-come more common and intense as the planet warms, a study released Wednesday found. Pro-longed periods of extreme heat in the oceans can damage kelp forests and coral reefs, and harm fish and other marine life.

“This trend will only fur-ther accelerate with global warming,” said Thomas Frolicher, a climate

scientist at the University of Bern in Switzerland, who led the research.

His team defined ma-rine heat waves as ex-treme events in which sea-surface temperatures exceeded the 99th percen-tile of measurements for a given location. Because oceans both absorb and re-lease heat more slowly than air, most marine heat waves last for at least sev-eral days — and some for several weeks, said Frolicher.

“We knew that average

temperatures were rising. What we haven’t focused on before is that the rise in the average comes at you in clumps of very hot days — a shock of several days or weeks of very high tem-peratures,” said Michael Oppenheimer, a Princeton University climate scien-tist who was not involved in the study.

Many sea critters have evolved to survive within a fairly narrow band of tem-peratures compared to creatures on land, and even incremental warming

can be disruptive.Some free-swimming

sea animals like bat rays or lobsters may shift their routines. But stationary organisms like coral reefs and kelp forests “are in real peril,” said Michael Burrows, an ecologist at the Scottish Marine Insti-tute, who was not part of the research.

The latest study in Na-ture relied on satellite data and other records of sea-surface temperatures including from ships and buoys.

Italy hunts for blame in collapseMotorists recount escapes

FranCes D’emiLio, CoLLeen Barry anD PaoLo santaLuCia

Associated Press

GENOA, Italy — As more bodies were pulled Wednesday from a mountain of jagged concrete and twisted steel left by a highway bridge collapse that killed 39, prosecutors focused on possible design flaws and past maintenance of the heavily used span, and politicians squabbled over blame.

Motorists, meanwhile, recounted miraculous es-capes and the horror of seeing others plunge over the edge.

As a second night descended on the site where part of the Morandi Bridge plunged some 150 feet, Interior Minister Matteo Salvini declined to say how many people might still be buried in the debris where about 1,000 rescue workers searched for victims.

The collapse occurred about midday Tuesday, the eve of Italy’s biggest summer holiday, when traf-fic was particularly busy on the 51-year-old span that links two highways — one leading to France, the other to Milan — from this northwestern port city.

Salvini declined to say how many people are still missing, and he added that trying to locate them was particularly difficult, due to the holiday.

“It’s not easy to distinguish between who doesn’t respond because they are on the other side of the world and turned off their phone to relax” on vaca-tion, and “who’s not responding because they are under the rubble,” he said.

He said he hoped the death toll would not rise.“Miracles are still possible,” Salvini said.Authorities urged the quick removal of tons of

debris from a dry river bed so that the rubble doesn’t create a makeshift dam if heavy rains fall in the flood-prone city on the Mediterranean.

Debris also must be cleared from railroad tracks, a vital link especially now that Genoa is largely cut in half by the loss of such a key artery, Premier Gi-useppe Conte said.

Authorities worried about the stability of remain-ing large sections of the bridge, prompting a wider evacuation order and forcing about 630 people from nearby apartments, some practically in the shadow of the elevated highway. Firefighters went inside some of the vacated apartments briefly to re-trieve documents and, in at least one home, pet cats.

Building a new bridge could require razing the evacuated buildings, said Transportation and Infra-structure Minister Danilo Toninelli.

After leading an emergency Cabinet meeting in Genoa, Conte said there were 39 confirmed dead and 16 injured, including nine in serious condition. Three children were among those killed, Salvini said.

Associated PressVehicles are blocked Wednesday on the collapsed Morandi highway bridge in Genoa, northern Italy. A bridge on a main highway linking Italy with France collapsed Tuesday in the Italian port city of Genoa during a sudden, violent storm, sending vehicles plunging nearly 300 feet into a heap of rubble below.

Mann powers way to baseball signingHeaded to College of Central FloridaChris Bernhardt Jr.

Staff writer

When Cole Mann smashed a three-run home run to dead center field on April 3 against Citrus, it keyed an 8-6 win for host Lecanto.

But for the senior, it represented the first homer of his prep career, and displayed the power threat he has become whenever he strides to the plate.

Last week Mann, who graduated from Le-canto just a couple months ago, signed to play baseball with the College of Central Florida out of the main Ocala campus.

“I’m excited,” Mann said. “I’m starting a new chapter in my life with a new team. Hopefully I’ll do the same as I did my se-nior year. Get better, faster, stronger.

“It’s a little closer to home and I really like their program. … I went up for a couple

of workouts. They liked my power and said I’m a natural hitter. They said they could really use me in the lineup this year.”

Mann, who played first and third base for the Panthers but will stick to first base at CF, was an All-Chronicle selection this spring, hitting .359 with seven doubles, two home runs and 15 RBI, all team highs.

“He was a lot more focused, a lot more driven with hitting and being an all-around player,” Lecanto head coach David Logue said. “You could see the focus change from his junior to senior year. You could see it in practice.”

It was an admittedly up-and-down run with the Panthers for Mann, beginning on a sour note when he couldn’t play as a fresh-man due to academic ineligibility.

“It was devastating,” Mann said. “I hated every second. Not playing baseball was the worst. I couldn’t deal with that.”

“A lot of kids come into high school and can’t see the bigger picture,” Logue said. “I think that snuck up on him as a freshman and it was a wake-up call for him to get him

Practice reunites Winston, Mariotateresa M. Walker

AP pro football writer

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota will be on the same practice field for a couple days, though their football careers will be forever linked.

They practiced on the same field Wednesday for one period as Winston’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers worked out with Mariota’s Tennes-see Titans. There wasn’t time for any chit chat between them.

“I just know he’s a great guy, and I just love seeing him out here competing,” Winston said.

NFL fans know more than that. They are both quarterbacks. They are both Heisman Trophy win-ners, and they were the first play-ers drafted in 2015.

But they didn’t get a chance watch one another practice, much less catch up on things.

“It was separate, so I didn’t re-ally get a chance to go see him,” Mariota said.

The decision by Tampa Bay coach Dirk Koetter and first-year Titans coach Mike Vrabel for their teams to work out together before Saturday night’s preseason game brought back up the Winston- Mariota debate.

The two worked out together be-fore the 2015 NFL draft out in Cal-ifornia. Titans general manager Jon Robinson worked with Tampa Bay when the Buccaneers chose Winston as the No. 1 pick overall over Mariota. Now Robinson has Mariota as the first of those two quarterbacks not only to reach the playoffs but win a game once in the postseason.

“Mariota, he just does a great job and the Tennessee Titans have a good football team,” Winston said. “We have a good football team too. We just have to win more games. It’s always good to compete against guys, but he’s done a great job here and I have to continue to work on my craft and lead our team to the playoffs.”

The Bucs will be without Win-ston for the first three games this season as the quarterback sits out a suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy. The NFL announced the suspen-sion in June after the league in-vestigated an allegation Winston groped a female Uber driver in Arizona in March 2016.

That’s why Ryan Fitzpatrick started the Bucs’ exhibition opener, a 26-24 win over Miami, and Winston worked with the second-team. Koetter said Fitzpat-rick got the majority of the work with the Bucs’ first-team offense when they worked on a separate field against the Titans’ defense.

Winston and Mariota will prac-tice against each other again today in the second of joint practices be-tween the Bucs (1-0) and Titans (0-1). Then Fitzpatrick is expected to start again Saturday night.

NY power outage

Tampa Bay shuts down Yankees for 6-1 victoryadry torresAssociated Press

NEW YORK — Mallex Smith hit a two-run homer, rookie Brandon Lowe got his first two major league hits and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the New York Yankees 6-1 on Wednesday night.

Kevin Kiermaier, who was mired in a 4-for-46 slump in August, had two hits, scored a run and drove in one for the Rays, who have won seven of their past nine games against New York.

The Yankees wasted their best chance in the fourth inning when Tampa Bay starter Jake Faria left the game with runners on first and second and one out.

Chaz Roe came in and hit Neil Walker to load the bases. He struck out Austin Romine and escaped the inning when a replay challenge overturned Ronald Torreyes’ single into an inning-ending groundout.

Reliever Ryan Yarbrough (11-5) then entered and was credited with the win after shutting down the Yankees over

four scoreless innings. He allowed only two hits and struck out three.

Tampa Bay took advantage of an inef-fective Luis Cessa (1-3), who was recalled from Triple-A before the game to make a start in place of an injured CC Sabathia.

Lowe, who started his major league career going hitless in his first 19 at-bats, hit a blooper to left field to drive in Kiermaier to put the Rays ahead 1-0 in the second inning.

After Miguel Andujar hit his 19th homer of the season to tie it at 1 in the bottom of the second, Tampa Bay made Cessa pay for his lack of execution.

The righty loaded the bases on back-to-back singles to start the third inning before walking the next batter. Cessa then struck out Joey Wendle, but a hard fielder’s choice grounder by Ji-Man Choi gave the Rays a 2-1 lead.

Kiermaier then singled to center, ex-tending the lead to 3-1.

Smith’s one-out, two-run blast to right field in the fourth ended Cessa’s night as the Rays went up 5-1.

Cessa allowed five runs, seven hits,

walked a pair and struck out four over 3 1/3 innings.

Faria made his first start since May 22 at Boston, when he suffered a left oblique strain. He fared pretty well before he was pulled in the fourth in-ning. He allowed one run, three hits and walked two and struck out two.

TRAINER’S ROOMRays: OF Tommy Pham (fractured

right foot) went 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBIs and two runs scored in a rehab game with Class A Hudson Valley, who were playing just a borough away at Staten Island, home of the Yankees’ af-filiate. Pham, who has been on the dis-abled list since Aug. 3, played six innings.

UP NEXTRays: LHP Blake Snell (13-5, 2.18

ERA) makes his second start after re-turning from the 10-day disabled list because of left shoulder fatigue.

Yankees: Masahiro Tanaka (9-3, 4.08) makes his 20th start of the season.

Clemson, LSU to play twiceCLEMSON, S.C. — Clemson and LSU have

agreed to play a home-and-home football series in 2025 and 2026.

The schools announced the games on Wednesday. The teams will meet at Clemson’s Death Valley on Aug. 30, 2025 with a return trip to LSU’s Death Valley on Sept. 5, 2026.

The games will be the first played between the schools in the regular season.

LSU backup QBs leavingBATON ROUGE, La. — LSU backup quarter-

backs Justin McMillan and Lowell Narcisse have announced they’re leaving the Tigers.

McMillan graduated this summer and is eligi-ble to play immediately at any NCAA program. His announcement does not say where he’ll go. The 6-foot-3 McMillian has two years of eligibil-ity remaining.

Narcisse was a highly rated Louisiana recruit in 2017, but has not played in two seasons after missing his high school senior year in 2016 with a knee injury and taking a redshirt last season.

Koetter declined to compare where Win-ston and Mariota are now as quarterbacks going into their fourth seasons, happy with Winston.

“I’m not a good person to ask that, because I coach Jameis and I rarely get a chance to watch Marcus,” Koetter said. “We know where Jameis is at, you’ve documented that many times. I can’t compare the two because I rarely get to watch Marcus.”

Not only does Mariota have the edge over Winston in the NFL with a playoff victory, he also has two very big wins. Mariota and Ore-gon routed Winston and Florida State 59-20 in the College Football Playoff semifinal in January 2015 . Mariota also is 1-0 against Win-ston and the Bucs with a 42-14 win in the quarterbacks’ NFL debut in 2015.

The 2014 Heisman Trophy winner said he’s never really been concerned with being linked to Winston during the pre-draft pro-cess or since. Mariota knows who he is and focuses on trying to improve himself.

“It’s always kind of interesting our paths cross again,” Mariota said. “But it is good to see him, and hopefully we’ll just continue to find ways to get better and look back on it and just kind of laugh about it.”

FRESHWATERLAKE ROUSSEAU — Bill

Burgess of Lake Rousseau RV and Fishing reports the catfish are on the bottom and on the breaks of the drop-offs, biting on hot dogs and worms. Anglers are catching 2-3-pounders that are really good eating. Several good-sized bluegills have been caught, and some shellcrack-ers on crickets in about 10 feet of water. A few small bass, 1-2 pounds, are hitting on topwater baits, or worms such as the 7 1/2-inch Fire and Ice or the Yamamoto Baby Bass in wacky style.

SALTWATERWITHLACOOCHEE —

Hook-Line and Sinker Bait and Tackle in Inglis reports redfish, trout, and flounder all being caught, with shrimp as the bait of choice.

HOMOSASSA RIVER — Bill Korade of Blue Water Bait and Tackle said redfishing is going well back inside the

creeks, in Little Homosassa River, St. Martins River and Mason Creek. Look for dark water and use cut mullet. Trout is coming in close, in 4-6 feet of water around the boundary stakes and the front side of the St. Martins Keys.

KING’S BAY — Jeff Fah-renkopf of Pete’s Pier in Crys-tal River reports that inshore, redfish are starting to turn on around the oyster bars, hitting on anything from live shrimp to artificial lures. Any kind of soft plastic, such as gold spoon, will do. The trout bite is steady in 4-7 feet of water. Go with an artificial under a pop-ping cork. Offshore, the grou-per bite is good in 50-60 feet of water, use thread-fin her-ring, sardines or live pinfish.

AROUND CITRUSCaptain William Toney (352-

422-4141) said, “With contin-ued overcast days and periods of rain the inshore bite for trout and redfish has been good. This has kept the waters slightly cooler then your normal

hot, dog days of August so the trout are especially happy. Areas of thick rock grass that are near outside points or deep bays are most productive. In-coming tide is good, but for the best trout action use a popping cork with a dark-colored jig on the high outgoing tide.

“Redfishing will continue to get better as we approach the full moon. This month is the time when the Nature Coast will experience its first waves of schooling redfish. Live shrimp or live pinfish make the best bait but if there is not a lot of floating grass a gold spoon works very well.

“I had a redfish bite this past week where the redfish would kill the live pinfish and let it go. They would not eat them. I watched from my poling plat-form as the redfish would swim off from the fresh, crushed pin-fish. My anglers and I would put on a fresh pinfish and the redfish would rush up to crush it but this time we set the hook as we watch the bait enter the

red’s mouth. The heavy, fast-moving tides made it hard to ‘feel’ the bite so the sight-cast method worked best.

“Offshore, the grouper has been good in the 40-foot range. Live pinfish or sardines

are the best bait. Scalloping continues to be good just south and west of the Bird Rack. Low tide the depth is around 5 feet. Incoming high tide will be in the morning this weekend with a high outgoing midday.”

Finally, it’s gator seasonHappy times are here again; it’s

the start of Florida’s State-wide Alligator Harvest. Hope-

fully all of the hunters and guides are having a bit better success with their boats than I am. While scouting for the upcoming season I’ve had me-

chanical is-sues plaguing me and giving me no end of worry. But it’s nothing which I can’t over-come; it may be a bit of a shaky start, but I’ve promised myself and my clients that this season will be one to remember.

Now, I understand that not every-one appreciates the thrill of the hunt, but my goodness, the fruits of the labor are so very worth it! Of course, I’m talking about the meat. Alligator meat is regarded as pretty fancy din-ing throughout most of America, mostly because in the north, midwest and western states, there are no ga-tors. It’s all just further proof that we Southerners were truly blessed. Here are five thing that you need to know about Florida’s alligator sea-son to sort of explain what we’re doing and how we’re doing it.

1. You can’t bait any hook! Using a baited hook is pretty indiscriminate. Nobody wants to waste a tag on a lit-tle gator and once he swallows the hook, there is no catch and release. However, baiting a line without a hook is still useful. You can do this legally with a long, heavy line with a wire leader and a 2-inch wooden peg. The idea is that the alligator will swallow the bait and peg, which will lodge inside the gator allowing the hunter to pull the gator boat-side. Also, if the gator escapes, the wooden peg will not injure the gator unlike steel hook. Just remember, the end of this line must be attached to a fishing rod or hand held. It cannot be left ties to a tree limb the way you see it done o television.

2. No guns allowed! You must at-tach a line to the gator to bring it to the shore or oatside. There are a few options for doing this; typically hunt-ers use a harpoon, bow or crossbow

shot to attach a line to the gator. I prefer snatch hooks on the end of a saltwater fishing combo to get my lines attached. Yes, lines, plural. A big gator is not at all easy to work in close and as soon as possible I want a second line attached to him to better keep his movements under control. To end the fight, and a wild and fren-zied fight it can become, we use a bangstick. A bangstick is a four or five foot pole that has a power head at the end of it, into which you insert a pitol cartridge to safely “shoot” the gator under water. A short and sharp thrust to the back of the head and it is the best legal and humane way to kill the gator.

3. You need specialized gear! Not everyone has an arsenal of snatch hooks, bangsticks and harpoons at their disposal. Do your homework and go with a buddy that has some experience and already has the proper gear. Maybe consider hiring a guide if this is your first gator hunt and learn from them how to use the tools of the hunt. A wide-beamed, high-powered light is your best friend once the sun goes down and cordless is best. There will be a lot of lines and ropes and people moving around; cordless will prevent any tangling or tripping.

4. Don’t go off the map! Earlier in

the year, each applicant will submit to enter the lottery for tags. If the ap-plicant is selected, he or she will be awarded one permit with two tags for a specified location. There is no guarantee that you get drawn. Just learn the area and know your bound-aries. Many of the hunt areas are designated as hunt units with specif-ically identified borders; cross them and the Game Officer will surely take exception with that.

5. Always put safety first! A lot can go wrong on the water at night while you are chasing an alpha-predator that could be upwards of 15 feet long with a mouth full of huge teeth. Cell phone service is not always a guaran-tee and you could be many miles from the nearest boat ramp. So re-member to be highly aware of the potential of serious injury. Flotation devices should aboard, that goes without saying as they’re required by law. Also, reliable lights and lighting systems to navigate safely in the dark. And a well-stocked first aid kit including pressure bandages, tourni-quet and foil blanket. Always hope for the best, but with these powerful predators, you must be prepared for the worst.

As always, feel free to reach out to me at [email protected]. God bless and good hunting!

Notice the beautiful weather and flat water this particular day. With clear conditions like this, even at 5-foot deep you could see the scallops on the bottom while standing up in the boat. Remember, this season goes through Sept. 24. So you have some time left to get in on some of the action and the scallop meats are getting bigger. Capt.

going in the right direction. I’m proud of the way he finished out his career.”

Mann hit the books and boosted his GPA, and got the chance to play as a sophomore. As a junior he broke his hand and missed significant time.

“Senior year came along and I got my stuff together,” Mann said. “I worked as hard as I could and it paid off.”

In the back of his mind he had always wanted to play in college. He attended showcases and played travel ball throughout his high school days as a means of gain-ing exposure.

Both Glenville State College, a Division II school in West Virginia, and Garrett College, a Maryland commu-nity college, were options Mann considered. But CF had an edge in his former Lecanto teammate, John Fiorenza.

It was through that relationship that he was intro-duced to CF head coach Marty Smith. After a couple of workouts, Mann opted to join the Patriots.

“They were looking for a guy who has power, who can drive the ball far and that’s what I can do,” Mann said. “I had a 101 (mph) exit velocity on one ball during a workout.”

Since CF is only a two-year program, Mann will even-tually look to move on to a four-year university.

Meanwhile, he’ll pursue a degree in criminal justice, and the avid fisherman and hunter has a long-term goal of becoming a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officer.

But he’ll keep playing baseball for as long as possible, just as he tries to hit the ball a great distance when he steps into the batter’s box.

“Hit the ball hard and as far I can,” Mann said of what he hopes to accomplish at CF, “and hopefully sign with a four-year college.”

The family-style diner in the heart of Crystal River was an icon decades ago and it hasn’t

changed very much since the city boasted just a couple of stoplights and a few mom-and-pop businesses.

Now known as Sara’s Diner, the eatery is still smack in the middle of all the activity on busy U.S. 19 and State Road 44 and still offers plump biscuits baked daily, old-fashioned chicken and dumplings, collard greens, hearty breakfasts and plate lunches.

After a number of owners, manage-ment of the restaurant was assigned three years ago to Penny Maas, from Joliet, Illinois, and a county resident for more than 30 years, and her hus-band, Steve, a native Floridian from Hollywood, Florida.

Penny Mass is familiar with the dining business in Citrus County, pointing to many years of employ-ment at such places as the former Dillon’s Inn, Scooters and The Front Porch in Dunnellon — to name a few.

The couple strives to maintain the diner’s down-home appeal by offer-ing such old-time favorites as liver and onions; fried fish, chicken a la king, open-face turkey plates; meat-loaf; seafood platter (fish, shrimp and clams); and New York strip steak.

The menu also has a variety of hot and cold sandwiches and salads, hot dogs and sides such as collard greens, crispy fried okra, french fries

and more. A seniors breakfast and children’s menu is also offered.

Most in demand at Sara’s, accord-ing to Penny Maas, are the breakfast choices and the special fried chicken that is remindful of iron skillet cook-ing at a farmstead.

You have the option of eight di-verse breakfast biscuit sandwiches, from chicken to ham to sausage with eggs and more, plus homemade Bel-gian waffles served with fresh fruit.

Maas said the biscuits are made from scratch daily by longtime

employee Jimmy Sumner, who starts his baking well before the diner opens.

A new item is the Waffle-Wich, a fresh waffle stuffed with fruit of choice, such as strawberries or ba-nanas and cream cheese and topped off with whipped cream.

All traditional breakfast items are available, including omelets, pan-cakes, blintzes, country fried steak, eggs Benedict and an array of sides, including corned beef hash, cereals, home fries, sausage gravy, home fries,

muffins, bagels and a whole lot more.Steve Maas is enthusiastic about

the diner’s fried chicken, which he describes as dipped in a simple coat-ing of flour, salt and pepper and fried to order in fresh peanut oil only.

“We have a special cooker for the chicken and nothing else is fried in the same oil,” he said. Customers are happy to wait the extra 20 minutes for their serving of the crisp, tasty chicken and their choice of white or dark meat or a combination.

He said the sides of fresh whole mushrooms are also battered from scratch and fried in peanut oil. The diner’s mashed potatoes are scratch made, too, from red bliss potatoes, a bit chunky and undeniably the real thing.

Penny Maas said most all the pro-duce used at Sara’s is from Tony’s Produce, a local produce vendor in Crystal River, and ice cream from Lynn’s Homemade Ice Cream & Bel-gian Waffles in Inverness is one of the favorite desserts.

The couple assumed management of Sara’s in March 2016 from new owners Ron and Ola Debree, who had named the establishment after their daughter, who attends school in the county during the winter season. The family spends their summers in Poland.

Old timers in the city once knew the eatery as Jones Restaurant, a small gas station and sandwich shop started in 1942 by Raddie and

“Gloria, what would be your thought about packing up and

going to Ohio for a couple days?”

It was my husband, Daniel, with one of his brainstorms.

“We have some furniture that needs to be sent to Ohio this weekend, one way or an-other. Maybe we should just hire a driver and all go, rather than shipping it with a freight company.”

“That sounds like a neat idea,” I said, as my mind flashed forward to the two six- or seven-hour trips and every-thing that goes with long- distance traveling with a fam-ily of five pre-scholars (The Amish term for student is “scholar,” so the term pre-scholar refers to what would be known as pre-K), but then also how nice it would be to see his family again. Then, out loud I responded, “If that is something you would like to do, I’m all in!”

I liked traveling, though I have found it a bit challenging with so many little ones, but then I knew that Daniel will do awesome with the children

along the way.“We wouldn’t tell anyone ex-

cept my sister Mary and sur-prise everyone else,” he plotted.

I loved to see his excite-ment. After all, he was the one who moved away from his family when we got married eight years ago. Before finaliz-ing our plans there were a couple of things we needed to check out to see if it would work out, including hiring a driver with a van large enough for all seven of us to fit in.

By midafternoon, everything looked clear. By this time we were all excited about the thought of all packing up and surprising Grandpa.

“I’ll keep everything as

simple as possible,” I told Daniel. “I’m going to see how it works to just fold and stack all our clothes into one large tote, rather than all using sep-arate suitcases, then when we get to Grandpa’s basement where we’ll stay for the night, I’ll hang up the dresses and shirts and spread out the rest on the table.”

A day later, we were on our way, and things were going amazingly well. We were de-lighted for the chance to spend some time with my edi-tor, Kevin Williams, and his family at Carriage Hill Met-ropark in Dayton, Ohio, where they brought along a yummy picnic supper of pizza, fresh melons, cookies, salty snacks and drinks.

After a while, it was time to get back in the van and every-one buckled up once more. By 8 o’clock we were getting wound up with excitement as

we neared Grandpa’s. The best part was just around the corner. Di-recting our driver to stop behind some trees where we couldn’t be seen from the house, we slipped out of the van and sneaked up close to the home, using trees for cover.

As we neared the door, I whispered to Daniel, “You go first!” I followed right behind along with Julia and Austin.

The scene was set to perfection as Daniel and I burst into the kitchen carrying the three little ones, and found Mom and Dad sitting at the table. At that moment they caught sight of us. Yes, it really was worth the ef-fort of keeping it a sur-prise as we feasted on their exclamations of de-light in seeing all of us!

The days that followed indeed proved to be ex-cellent memory makers as Daniel went with his four brothers and father on a roofing job. In the meantime, I was in the house with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law catching up on all kinds of news and filling them in on the latest details about our two foster children.

We are so blessed to see them bonding with our foster children; it is a double blessing when being away from home and needing an extra hand every now and then. The children all had a wonderful time as they took swing rides, had spe-cial snacks and did all kinds of special activities at Grandpa’s.

Imagine how delighted and unworthy I felt when they told us we could have some peaches from their orchard! Not only did they share them with us free of charge, but also helped peel and cut them up for the freezer. Wow! I came home with 24 quarts for our family to enjoy straight from the

freezer or in smoothies. I thanked God once more. How marvelously He sup-plies for all of our needs!

One highlight for me was meeting a gentleman who has fostered over 100 children. Indeed, they have gone above and be-yond to reach out to chil-dren needing a good home. It was inspiring to just talk with someone who has seen it all and knows all about the chal-lenges, as well as the joys that go with doing foster care. As for our little ones, no one knows the outcome, though it doesn’t look like there is a chance for them to re-turn to their birth parents in the near future. It’s like we tell the birth par-ents, we want to do all we can for them as long as they are at our house and treat them as our own.

On Sunday we had the opportunity of going to church with Daniel’s family. It was quite spe-cial for Julia and Austin to go with their cousins to Sunday school class, and it really put the icing on the cake when their beloved Aunt Mary hap-pened to be the class teacher. After class, they both came back to me beaming, with stickers and a baggie of snacks.

After returning to Grandpa’s, we had their traditional Sunday noon menu of oven-baked om-elet and pancakes. It was oh so good, served with

real maple syrup, peanut butter, blueberry pie fill-ing and whipped topping. Glasses of cold orange juice complemented it perfectly.

Right after lunch, I fin-ished packing up every-thing before we all loaded up and were ready to bid them farewell with our usual goodbye hugs. Soon, we were on our way with five sleepy children who were all sound asleep be-fore long, leaving Daniel and me with some quality time together as we dis-cussed the trip. We de-cided that our time together is genuinely more important than taking naps and catching up on our loss of sleep from our late nights spent with family.

Perhaps you would enjoy trying out our baked bean recipe,

similar to what my sister-in-law made for a picnic during our stay in Ohio.

SUMMER BAKED BEANS

n 1/2 pound bacon, cut up

n 1 medium onion, chopped

n 1 cup brown sugarn 1 cup catsupn 2 teaspoons prepared

mustardn 1 teaspoon Liquid

Smoke (optional)n 1 can red kidney beansn 1 can butter or lima

beansn 1 can pork and beansStart cooking bacon, but

don’t brown completely. Add onion, sugar, catsup, mustard and Liquid Smoke. Heat, then pour over undrained beans. Mix well and bake at 325 degrees for 1 to 1 1/2 hour. In our way of thinking, this is best when cooked over a fire rather than baking in the oven. Also, if desired, you may cook your own beans rather than buying the canned ones.

For brash Memphis coleslaw, cook spicy dressing ahead

America’s Test Kitchen

The high water content of cabbage is typically to blame for watery slaws. We salted our cabbage to draw out the excess moisture.

Memphis Chopped Coleslaw is usually stud-ded with celery seeds and crunchy green peppers and tossed with an un-apologetically sugary mustard dressing that’s balanced by a bracing hit of vinegar.

To ensure our slaw boasted brash, balanced flavor, we quickly cooked the spicy dressing to meld the flavors and tossed the hot dressing with the cab-bage. The salted cabbage absorbed the dressing and became seasoned in-side and out.

The pre-cooked salted, rinsed and dried cabbage mixture can be refriger-ated in a zipper-lock bag for up to 24 hours.

Epictetus, a Greek stoic philos-opher, said, “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can lis-ten twice as much as we speak.”

Hear, hear!Unless you are playing in a du-

plicate pairs event, whether you go down one or two makes little difference — only 50 or 100 points, assuming you aren’t doubled. But if you go down one when you could have made your contract,

that is much more expensive.As declarer in a trump contract,

count your potential losers. If you can see too many, try to find a way to eliminate one or two. How does that apply in this deal? South is in four spades, so he can afford only three losers. After West leads the club queen, what should declarer do?

Some declarers will take the first trick and play a trump to East’s ace. However, after East re-turns his second club, and South wins, draws the missing trump and plays a heart to dummy’s queen, East takes that trick and leads a diamond. West wins with his ace and cashes the club jack to defeat the contract.

Declarer should have seen the danger and realized that he was always safe as long as West had either the heart jack or heart king, and there was no bad heart split.

At trick two, South should lead the heart 10 and overtake with dummy’s queen. If the finesse wins, declarer draws trumps as quickly as possible. Here, though, it loses and East plays back his re-maining club. South wins and plays the heart six to dummy’s nine. When a finesse finally wins, declarer discards his remaining club on the heart ace, then turns to trumps.

8 p.m. on (ESPN)

NFL FootballThe Sam Darnold era in New York begins as the Jets visit the Washington Redskins in a preseason game. The Jets took Darnold with the third pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, even though the former USC quarterback only played two seasons of college ball. The Redskins too have a new quar-

terback, having traded with the Kansas City Chiefs for veteran Alex Smith after finally cutting ties with Kirk Cousins, who got his big payday in Minnesota.

8 p.m. on (HGTV)

Rustic RehabBased in Northern California near the Sierra Nevada Moun-tains, real-estate investors and seasoned home renovators Da-vid and Chenoa Rivera trans-form outdated properties into beautiful family residences in this new home makeover series. In the premiere, the Riveras take a chance on a Paradise, Calif., house they bought sight unseen. The property turns out to be in a state of shocking neglect, with a very strange in-terior design, but they feel they can get it back on the market and turn a quick profit.

9 p.m. on ^ (Trial & Error

Though it appears that Lavinia (Kristin Chenoweth) is in the clear, the murder case isn’t over yet in the new episode “A Family Affair.” Strong suspi-

cion falls elsewhere, and Josh (Nicholas D’Agosto) and his team seek information to con-tinue their efforts — with La-vinia still serving as a needed resource. Jayma Mays, Sherri Shepherd and Steven Boyer also star. Another episode fol-lows.

9 p.m. on (USA)

Queen of the South“El Diablo” — which, as most viewers probably already know, means “the devil” — is the title of a new episode that finds a ruthless and determined Teresa (Alice Braga) plotting a way to wipe out her “professional” rivals in Phoenix. Realizing she may need someone else with a lot of clout to help her imple-ment her plan, she gets into bed — presumably in every sense of the phrase — with an equal-ly ambitious politician. Peter Gadiot also stars.

10 p.m. on ) 4 <Take Two

A case immediately becomes more complicated for Eddie and Sam (Eddie Cibrian, Ra-

chel Bilson) in the new episode “Shadows of the Past,” as their latest client — who hired them to find his missing wife — be-comes a serial killer’s latest victim. While investigating both situations, Eddie gets un-happy reminders of the reason he left the Los Angeles Police Department. Xavier DeGuz-man, Aliyah O’Brien and Alice Lee also star.

10 p.m. on (A&E)

Nightwatch NationA&E has scored with real-ity-TV enthusiasts over the past four years with its “Night-watch” series, which took fans on an often breathless ride-along with police, fire and emergency rescue personnel in New Orleans and Tampa, Fla., as they made their rounds between 8 p.m. and 4 a.m. This new series takes that same format and formula and goes national, expanding to four new cities across the United States — Yonkers, N.Y., Tucson, Ariz., Austin, Texas and Baton Rouge, La. — to follow local heroes at work.

Dear Annie: I am married to a man with two chil-dren from a previous

marriage. They are adults. My husband is 15 years my senior, and he married early the first time, so long story short, his children are only four and six years younger than I am. The problem is with his daughter.

She really doesn’t have much of a social life and be-cause of t h a t s p e n d s much of her spare time at o u r h o u s e . This sum-mer, she has been at our h o u s e s e v e n days a w e e k . She had vacation from work for three weeks and spent the entire time here. One of my biggest complaints is the lack of boundaries. She helps herself to whatever she wants without asking, comes in and out, and follows her father around. She generally arrives here in the early afternoon, when I have just gotten home from my first job and have two hours before going to my second job. When I get home at 9 p.m. or later, she is still here! Sometimes she’s here when I arrive even when my husband isn’t home.

I am feeling suffocated, and the lack of privacy for me is driving me crazy. I feel it’s dis-respectful on her part and on my husband’s part. I don’t think it is fair to me to have a grown woman (54 years old) spending so much time here. It is weighing on me and, frankly, on my marriage. I have to tread lightly because she takes everything personally, and my husband says she’s fragile, so everyone needs to be nice.

How do I get this to stop? I am ready to leave, honestly. It’s gone on for so long I am afraid I should have confronted the situation before it got to this point, but it’s not easy to talk to a father about his child. Please help me sort this out before I explode! — Had Enough of the Helicopter Child

Dear Had Enough: You are wise to tread lightly. It is prob-ably difficult for your husband to face the fact that his 54-year-old daughter does not have a life of her own and spends al-most all of her time with her father. Tell your husband how you feel. All couples need alone time, and you are not getting any with a roommate, especially one who is still so tied to her father. Cutting the cord slowly will benefit your stepdaughter, your husband, you and ultimately your mar-riage. The trick is to communi-cate with all parties involved, set the boundaries that you know are necessary and wel-come her warmly when she visits according to the sched-ule you all agree upon.

Dear Annie: In regard to the letter about the pronunciation of the years since 2000, it didn’t flow off the tongue easily to say, for example, “twenty oh two” for 2002, so we started saying “two thousand two.” Come to think of it, it probably originated long before the turn of the century. It may date back to the book and movie “2001: A Space Odyssey.” Everyone pro-nounced it “two thousand one.” People just became ac-customed to saying it that way, and even though we have moved on to the teen years and it is actually easier to say “twenty eighteen” now, many people still say it the “thou-sand” way. — Baby Boomer

Dear Baby Boomer: I never considered that Stanley Kubrick may have something to do with it, but that’s an in-teresting theory. Thanks for writing.

For our Shredded Bar-becued Beef, we cut a chuck roast into quarters. The smaller pieces of beef absorbed more smoke flavor and cooked much faster.

After cooking the meat in a disposable roasting pan on the cooler side of the grill for a few hours, we flipped all four pieces, wrapped the pan in foil and placed the roast in the oven to finish cooking.

For a barbecue sauce with richer flavor, we sau-téed the onions in beef fat from the pan. Chili pow-der and pepper added bite, while ketchup, vine-gar, coffee, Worcester-shire sauce, brown sugar and the beef juices rounded out the flavors.

If you prefer a smooth barbecue sauce, strain the sauce before tossing it with the beef. We like to serve this beef on white bread with plenty of pickle chips. Three me-dium wood chunks, soaked in water for 1 hour, can be substituted for the wood chips on a charcoal grill.

boneless beef chuck-eye roast, trimmed and quartered

n 1 (13- by 9-inch) disposable aluminum roasting pan

n 3 cups wood chips, soaked in water for

15 minutes and drained n 1 onion, chopped fine n 4 garlic cloves, minced n 1/2 teaspoon chili

powder n 1 1/4 cups ketchup n 3/4 cup brewed coffee n 1/2 cup cider vinegar n 1/2 cup packed brown

sugar n 3 tablespoons

Worcestershire sauce n 1/2 teaspoon pepper Combine salt, pepper and

cayenne in small bowl. Pat meat dry with paper towels and rub evenly with spice mixture. Wrap meat in plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour or refrigerate up to 24 hours. (If refrigerated, let sit at room temperature for

1 hour before grilling.) Before cooking, unwrap meat and transfer to disposable pan. Using two large pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil, wrap soaked chips in two foil packets and cut several vent holes in tops.

For a charcoal grill: Open vent completely. Light large chimney starter half filled with charcoal briquettes (3 quarts). When top coals are partially covered with ash, pour into steeply banked pile against 1 side of grill. Place wood chip packets on coals. Set cooking grate in place, cover and open lid vent halfway. Heat grill until hot and wood chips are smoking, about 5 minutes.

For a gas grill: Place wood chip packets directly on primary burner. Turn all burners to high, cover and heat grill until hot and wood chips are smoking, about 15 minutes. Leave primary burner on high and turn other burner(s) off. (Adjust primary burner as needed to maintain grill temperature between 250 degrees and 300 degrees.)

Place pan of meat on cool side of the grill. Cover (positioning lid vent over meat if using charcoal) and cook until meat is deep red, about 2 hours. During final 20 minutes of grilling, adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 300 degrees.

Flip meat over in pan, cover pan tightly with foil and

roast beef in oven until fork slips easily in and out of beef, 2 to 3 hours.

Transfer meat to large bowl, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for 30 minutes. While meat rests, skim fat from accumulated juices in pan; reserve 2 tablespoons fat. Strain defatted juices; reserve 1/2 cup juice. Combine onion and reserved fat in medium saucepan and cook over medium heat until onion has softened, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and chili powder and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in ketchup, coffee, vinegar, sugar, Worcestershire, pepper and any accumulated meat juices and simmer until thickened, about 15 minutes. Using two forks, pull meat into shreds, discarding any excess fat or gristle. Toss meat with 1/2 cup barbecue sauce. Serve, passing remaining sauce separately.

20182018

We left here on a Tuesday, ready to head to Ohio

to see friends and family.

We decided to take In-terstate 75 instead of our usual route up I-77. Our car was packed and ready to go by 7 a.m. We said goodbye to our cat, Mr. Chips, and promised him we would return. He knew we were leav-ing when he saw us pack our suitcases and was not very happy with us. So, he hid in order to avoid the goodbyes. He was going to be taken care of by our neighbor who we trusted to look after him.

We picked up I-75 in Gainesville. I was look-ing forward to not cook-ing for at least 10 days and eating at quaint restaurants that I had never eaten in. My hus-band, who I will now refer to as “Chuckles,” was concentrating on his driving; therefore, when I tried to engage him in interesting con-versation, he did not re-spond. We drove all the way to Corbin, Ken-tucky, before he finally said more than four words. I think he said, “We’ll stop here for the night.”

The trip to Corbin was uneventful, but going through Atlanta, Geor-gia, was a nightmare. I helped drive by putting on the brakes on the pas-senger’s side of the car. Fortunately, we made it through the big city with-out a fender bender.

Since Chuckles wasn’t talking, I entertained myself by singing, send-ing texts to friends and looking out the window at the scenery, which in-cluded mostly wooded areas on my side of the car. I did notice that we passed more ads for adult super stores than restaurants. To my re-lief, we didn’t stop at any of them. We also didn’t stop at the his-toric Old Boone Tavern or any other quaint places like Civil War battlefields.

Chuckle’s idea of eat-ing out was going to the same fast food places we eat at when at home.

Working with the good feedback received from members for programs

in the coming year, the board of the Floral City Garden Club is finishing up the 2018/2019 Pro-gram yearbooks. These books of information will be distributed at the first meeting for the Club, scheduled for the Friday, Sept. 14 in the Floral City Community House at 11:30 a.m. New resi-dents and old are en-couraged to attend and learn about Florida landscaping, horticul-ture, floral design and environmental issues.

Some of the upcom-ing programs in the planning for the year include: “Proper Use of Mulch, Tree Care, Landscape Design, Water Gardens, Growing Edibles/Small Space and Container Gar-dening and Growing Azaleas/Ca-mellias and Gardenias.” In addition, field trips are being planned, also, for the Club year.

Horticulture Chair and Vice President Sue Metcalfe shared that she has hung the bee house that each member received at the Annual Luncheon this year and she verified that “it works!” A few weeks after hanging it, she found several openings full of what looked like sand and shortly thereafter some had bro-ken open. We all know bees need lots of blooming flowers to survive.

Metcalfe highly recommends starting a wildflower garden, it is an easy way to provide blooms and plant natives. As fall

approaches, it is the best time to begin. She states, “Remove grass from a small area, generously spread wildflower seeds, water a few times to get the seeds to sprout and wait for spring and summer!” She continues, “If you plant thick enough you won’t have to pull weeds. When they bloom, wait for the flowers to

drop their seeds and they will keep the blooming cycle for years to come.”

Returning from a visit to the Mediterra-nean area this sum-mer, Metcalfe tells us that the colors of Provence and Tuscany — the yellows, or-anges, terra cotta and cobalt blue — make a smashing color combi-nation for ones sum-

mer garden. “Yellows and oranges are easy to produce with flowers of marigolds, sunflowers, bush daisies, black-eyed susans, Klondike cosmos, daylilies, ala-manda, blanket flower, milk-weed, ground orchid, melampodium and some zinnias, cannas, hibiscus and lantanas.” “The terra cotta color may come from unfinished clay pots, bricks or painted stucco.” “Adding bright blue is easy,” says Metcalf, “with the use of gazing balls, bot-tles, pots and planters, painted objects — think window frame/trellis/shed wall — and furni-ture.” She suggests to start small with a few pots or with a rede-sign of a corner garden, turning it into an “escape” with the look of the Mediterranean.

Lastly, Metcalfe, who is also

president of Keep Citrus Beauti-ful, is an advocate for protecting our waterways and she asks, “Is your yard water-friendly?” She continues, “If you live near a lake, river or canal, does the run-off pour directly into the water body? Does that rainwater wash all your fertilizer away?” She sug-gests, “Maybe you can improve the water-holding capacity of your landscape by using more permeable materials and minor improvements in the drainage pattern. Swales catch rainwater runoff and hold it long enough to soak into the ground. This is probably not a do-it-yourself job, but a skilled operator with a small tractor or a loader with box blade can create a swale in a short time. Consider using porous pavers when the time comes to replace asphalt or solid concrete driveways . Maybe use gravel/or grass pavers (plastic mesh forms that let grass grow back) in sel-dom-used parking areas. Or try stepping stones and ground cover instead of a concrete path.”

The public is invited to obtain more ideas when the Garden Club meets monthly from Sep-tember through May on the sec-ond Friday of the month at 11:30 a.m. in the Floral City Com-munity House in the Town Cen-ter. Programs begin at 12:30 p.m. and are without charge. For more information about the club, its programs and activities please call President Donna Thomas.

Thursday, augusT 16, 2018 D3Citrus County (FL) ChroniCLe

The next day we rose early and headed to Cin-cinnati, where we crossed the Ohio River. Now I knew I was getting closer to home.

At Cincinnati, we changed to Route 71, which was to take us al-most to our destination, Huron, Ohio, on Lake Erie, where we were to spend five days with Chuckle’s old buddies. We got off at Massillon, Ohio, which he knows like the back of his hand. How-ever, travel weary as he was, he got disoriented and we spent an hour try-ing to get out of the city, which isn’t very big. It was kind of like fighting your-self out of a paper bag. Of course, he would not stop and ask directions. After all, he is a man and men do not do that! He also

doesn’t like GPS. He doesn’t like that woman telling him what to do.

After wandering around, he finally found his way and we headed north to the lake. This time I enjoyed corn field after corn field. You want corn? Go to Ohio!

We made it to Huron, where my husband did take me to a nice place to eat on the Vermillion River. We ate and watched the boats come in and out of the dock. It was very pleasant. He had redeemed himself. They say if you really want to get to know someone, take a trip with them.

After lunch we mean-dered on to our destina-tion where we stayed in a house not far from a little beach. We shared the house with one of his old buddies. He and I had many nice conversations in the morning sitting on the patio while we drank our morning coffee. We had to take a short walk to

where the party was being held at a friend’s house. I soon discovered that no meals were being served. I think you call it “graz-ing.” Snacks were readily available, but that didn’t seem to satisfy my need for three meals a day. My body doesn’t graze very well. My husband finally got the idea and took me for a hot dog before golf.

Stories were told of the “good old days,” we took a ferry to Put In Bay and played some golf. A good time was had by all. I told Chuckles I thought none of them had ever really left high school, even though they all looked 55 years older!

After five days of fun and frivolity we headed out for Canal Fulton, Ohio, where we were to stay at my brother’s house. Another several hundreds of miles through corn fields, and we arrived happy to have a little “down time.”

The next day, we went to see my one daughter who is living temporarily in an old farm house until she and her husband can get into their new home. We made contact with my other daughter, but she, too, is in the process of moving and a get-together was impossible.

On Wednesday night we ate at a Mexican restau-rant in Canton, where my daughter, her husband, their children and grand-children, another grand-daughter, my cousin and brother and my husband’s son and grandson all joined us for dinner. For me, this meal made the miles we had traveled worth the trip.

On Thursday, we headed back south and home. But first we stopped in Colum-bus to have lunch with my son. We ate at a real restaurant. For this, I was grateful and happy. After lunch and some catching up with my son, we

headed on down the road. Another thousand miles and we would have our own bathroom and bed-room, which we looked forward to.

Again the trip was un-eventful and even Atlanta did not seem so con-gested. We stayed the first night back in Corbin, Ken-tucky, and stayed at the same motel.

We arrived home on Fri-day to our cat, who was talking nonstop. He talked for three days before he fi-nally quieted down. I guess he was telling us ev-erything that he did while we were away, which was to hide from our neighbor when he would come in to feed him. It took us three

days to feel like we weren’t still riding in the car. Our almost 3,000-mile road trip had taken its toll.

I thought we were re-tired and should take a leisurely trip, stopping to see things we had never seen. But I felt like we were always in a hurry. Maybe we were worried about that darn cat!

Thought for the day: It is good to be home, but my heart will always be with our family in Ohio.

farm-to-table concept, benefits of eating

healthier and taking an active role in the “hands-on” approach of gardening with the children. There are many opportu-nities where members

can lend a hand in the garden.

“Fall and winter educa-tional classes are being fi-nalized in the next several weeks and will be listed on the Garden page

of the city of Inverness website, www.inverness-fl.gov.

Classes are being de-signed for all ages — from planting a fall garden to learning different ways in

cooking vegetables,” said Betty Pleacher, facilities operation manager.

A restaurant or busi-ness can sponsor a garden bed to grow their own veg-etables or have a youth

organization plant, care for and harvest their gar-den for them, which is a great learning experience.

Tractor Supply Company in Homosassa will host pet adoptions, a pet supplies drive and more on Satur-day, Aug. 25, as part of Out Here With Animals, its monthlong event for ani-mals of all kinds and the people who care for them.

On Aug. 25 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., community members and their dogs, cats, pigs, goats and more are invited to make their way to the Homosassa Tractor Supply to support local pet adoptions.

“Our team members be-lieve that animals of all kinds are worth

celebrating,” said Cristen Moffitt, manager of the Homosassa Tractor Sup-ply. “Out Here With Ani-mals allows us to do just that by providing us with opportunities to do our part in supporting local animal rescue groups.”

Participating local orga-nizations to be onsite from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. in-clude A Humane Society of Central Florida Pet Rescue Inc. and Citrus County Animal Services.

Additionally, customers

can support the local ani-mal shelter community by participating in Tractor Supply’s pet supplies drive. Happening all month long as part of Out Here With Animals, the retailer will accept new sealed food, toys, cleaning supplies and other essen-tial pet accessories such as beds, scratching posts, leashes and bowls to be donated to area rescues and shelters.

“The supplies drive is an important component

to Out Here With Animals because it allows our cus-tomers who don’t have the ability to adopt to still give back in a much needed way,” said Moffitt.

Along with events that celebrate and support pets, Out Here With Animals will feature a sale on pre-mium products for pets, small animals and live-stock, including items nec-essary for their health, care, growth and contain-ment. Beginning Wednes-day, Aug. 22, through

Sunday, Aug. 26, customers — and their animals — can enjoy deals on premium brands like Blue Buffalo, Purina Feed, 4health, Wholesomes and more.

The community and their leashed, friendly ani-mals are invited to check out Tractor Supply’s monthlong Out Here with Animals event at 3826 S. Suncoast Blvd. Contact the store at 352-621-0583 for more information or de-tails about participating in the Aug. 25 pet adoption.

We left here on a Tuesday, ready to head to Ohio

to see friends and family.

We decided to take In-terstate 75 instead of our usual route up I-77. Our car was packed and ready to go by 7 a.m. We said goodbye to our cat, Mr. Chips, and promised him we would return. He knew we were leav-ing when he saw us pack our suitcases and was not very happy with us. So, he hid in order to avoid the goodbyes. He was going to be taken care of by our neighbor who we trusted to look after him.

We picked up I-75 in Gainesville. I was look-ing forward to not cook-ing for at least 10 days and eating at quaint restaurants that I had never eaten in. My hus-band, who I will now refer to as “Chuckles,” was concentrating on his driving; therefore, when I tried to engage him in interesting con-versation, he did not re-spond. We drove all the way to Corbin, Ken-tucky, before he finally said more than four words. I think he said, “We’ll stop here for the night.”

The trip to Corbin was uneventful, but going through Atlanta, Geor-gia, was a nightmare. I helped drive by putting on the brakes on the pas-senger’s side of the car. Fortunately, we made it through the big city with-out a fender bender.

Since Chuckles wasn’t talking, I entertained myself by singing, send-ing texts to friends and looking out the window at the scenery, which in-cluded mostly wooded areas on my side of the car. I did notice that we passed more ads for adult super stores than restaurants. To my re-lief, we didn’t stop at any of them. We also didn’t stop at the his-toric Old Boone Tavern or any other quaint places like Civil War battlefields.

Chuckle’s idea of eat-ing out was going to the same fast food places we eat at when at home.

Working with the good feedback received from members for programs

in the coming year, the board of the Floral City Garden Club is finishing up the 2018/2019 Pro-gram yearbooks. These books of information will be distributed at the first meeting for the Club, scheduled for the Friday, Sept. 14 in the Floral City Community House at 11:30 a.m. New resi-dents and old are en-couraged to attend and learn about Florida landscaping, horticul-ture, floral design and environmental issues.

Some of the upcom-ing programs in the planning for the year include: “Proper Use of Mulch, Tree Care, Landscape Design, Water Gardens, Growing Edibles/Small Space and Container Gar-dening and Growing Azaleas/Ca-mellias and Gardenias.” In addition, field trips are being planned, also, for the Club year.

Horticulture Chair and Vice President Sue Metcalfe shared that she has hung the bee house that each member received at the Annual Luncheon this year and she verified that “it works!” A few weeks after hanging it, she found several openings full of what looked like sand and shortly thereafter some had bro-ken open. We all know bees need lots of blooming flowers to survive.

Metcalfe highly recommends starting a wildflower garden, it is an easy way to provide blooms and plant natives. As fall

approaches, it is the best time to begin. She states, “Remove grass from a small area, generously spread wildflower seeds, water a few times to get the seeds to sprout and wait for spring and summer!” She continues, “If you plant thick enough you won’t have to pull weeds. When they bloom, wait for the flowers to

drop their seeds and they will keep the blooming cycle for years to come.”

Returning from a visit to the Mediterra-nean area this sum-mer, Metcalfe tells us that the colors of Provence and Tuscany — the yellows, or-anges, terra cotta and cobalt blue — make a smashing color combi-nation for ones sum-

mer garden. “Yellows and oranges are easy to produce with flowers of marigolds, sunflowers, bush daisies, black-eyed susans, Klondike cosmos, daylilies, ala-manda, blanket flower, milk-weed, ground orchid, melampodium and some zinnias, cannas, hibiscus and lantanas.” “The terra cotta color may come from unfinished clay pots, bricks or painted stucco.” “Adding bright blue is easy,” says Metcalf, “with the use of gazing balls, bot-tles, pots and planters, painted objects — think window frame/trellis/shed wall — and furni-ture.” She suggests to start small with a few pots or with a rede-sign of a corner garden, turning it into an “escape” with the look of the Mediterranean.

Lastly, Metcalfe, who is also

president of Keep Citrus Beauti-ful, is an advocate for protecting our waterways and she asks, “Is your yard water-friendly?” She continues, “If you live near a lake, river or canal, does the run-off pour directly into the water body? Does that rainwater wash all your fertilizer away?” She sug-gests, “Maybe you can improve the water-holding capacity of your landscape by using more permeable materials and minor improvements in the drainage pattern. Swales catch rainwater runoff and hold it long enough to soak into the ground. This is probably not a do-it-yourself job, but a skilled operator with a small tractor or a loader with box blade can create a swale in a short time. Consider using porous pavers when the time comes to replace asphalt or solid concrete driveways . Maybe use gravel/or grass pavers (plastic mesh forms that let grass grow back) in sel-dom-used parking areas. Or try stepping stones and ground cover instead of a concrete path.”

The public is invited to obtain more ideas when the Garden Club meets monthly from Sep-tember through May on the sec-ond Friday of the month at 11:30 a.m. in the Floral City Com-munity House in the Town Cen-ter. Programs begin at 12:30 p.m. and are without charge. For more information about the club, its programs and activities please call President Donna Thomas.

The next day we rose early and headed to Cin-cinnati, where we crossed the Ohio River. Now I knew I was getting closer to home.

At Cincinnati, we changed to Route 71, which was to take us al-most to our destination, Huron, Ohio, on Lake Erie, where we were to spend five days with Chuckle’s old buddies. We got off at Massillon, Ohio, which he knows like the back of his hand. How-ever, travel weary as he was, he got disoriented and we spent an hour try-ing to get out of the city, which isn’t very big. It was kind of like fighting your-self out of a paper bag. Of course, he would not stop and ask directions. After all, he is a man and men do not do that! He also

doesn’t like GPS. He doesn’t like that woman telling him what to do.

After wandering around, he finally found his way and we headed north to the lake. This time I enjoyed corn field after corn field. You want corn? Go to Ohio!

We made it to Huron, where my husband did take me to a nice place to eat on the Vermillion River. We ate and watched the boats come in and out of the dock. It was very pleasant. He had redeemed himself. They say if you really want to get to know someone, take a trip with them.

After lunch we mean-dered on to our destina-tion where we stayed in a house not far from a little beach. We shared the house with one of his old buddies. He and I had many nice conversations in the morning sitting on the patio while we drank our morning coffee. We had to take a short walk to

where the party was being held at a friend’s house. I soon discovered that no meals were being served. I think you call it “graz-ing.” Snacks were readily available, but that didn’t seem to satisfy my need for three meals a day. My body doesn’t graze very well. My husband finally got the idea and took me for a hot dog before golf.

Stories were told of the “good old days,” we took a ferry to Put In Bay and played some golf. A good time was had by all. I told Chuckles I thought none of them had ever really left high school, even though they all looked 55 years older!

After five days of fun and frivolity we headed out for Canal Fulton, Ohio, where we were to stay at my brother’s house. Another several hundreds of miles through corn fields, and we arrived happy to have a little “down time.”

The next day, we went to see my one daughter who is living temporarily in an old farm house until she and her husband can get into their new home. We made contact with my other daughter, but she, too, is in the process of moving and a get-together was impossible.

On Wednesday night we ate at a Mexican restau-rant in Canton, where my daughter, her husband, their children and grand-children, another grand-daughter, my cousin and brother and my husband’s son and grandson all joined us for dinner. For me, this meal made the miles we had traveled worth the trip.

On Thursday, we headed back south and home. But first we stopped in Colum-bus to have lunch with my son. We ate at a real restaurant. For this, I was grateful and happy. After lunch and some catching up with my son, we

headed on down the road. Another thousand miles and we would have our own bathroom and bed-room, which we looked forward to.

Again the trip was un-eventful and even Atlanta did not seem so con-gested. We stayed the first night back in Corbin, Ken-tucky, and stayed at the same motel.

We arrived home on Fri-day to our cat, who was talking nonstop. He talked for three days before he fi-nally quieted down. I guess he was telling us ev-erything that he did while we were away, which was to hide from our neighbor when he would come in to feed him. It took us three

days to feel like we weren’t still riding in the car. Our almost 3,000-mile road trip had taken its toll.

I thought we were re-tired and should take a leisurely trip, stopping to see things we had never seen. But I felt like we were always in a hurry. Maybe we were worried about that darn cat!

Thought for the day: It is good to be home, but my heart will always be with our family in Ohio.

Tractor Supply Company in Homosassa will host pet adoptions, a pet supplies drive and more on Satur-day, Aug. 25, as part of Out Here With Animals, its monthlong event for ani-mals of all kinds and the people who care for them.

On Aug. 25 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., community members and their dogs, cats, pigs, goats and more are invited to make their way to the Homosassa Tractor Supply to support local pet adoptions.

“Our team members be-lieve that animals of all kinds are worth

celebrating,” said Cristen Moffitt, manager of the Homosassa Tractor Sup-ply. “Out Here With Ani-mals allows us to do just that by providing us with opportunities to do our part in supporting local animal rescue groups.”

Participating local orga-nizations to be onsite from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. in-clude A Humane Society of Central Florida Pet Rescue Inc. and Citrus County Animal Services.

Additionally, customers

can support the local ani-mal shelter community by participating in Tractor Supply’s pet supplies drive. Happening all month long as part of Out Here With Animals, the retailer will accept new sealed food, toys, cleaning supplies and other essen-tial pet accessories such as beds, scratching posts, leashes and bowls to be donated to area rescues and shelters.

“The supplies drive is an important component

to Out Here With Animals because it allows our cus-tomers who don’t have the ability to adopt to still give back in a much needed way,” said Moffitt.

Along with events that celebrate and support pets, Out Here With Animals will feature a sale on pre-mium products for pets, small animals and live-stock, including items nec-essary for their health, care, growth and contain-ment. Beginning Wednes-day, Aug. 22, through

Sunday, Aug. 26, customers — and their animals — can enjoy deals on premium brands like Blue Buffalo, Purina Feed, 4health, Wholesomes and more.

The community and their leashed, friendly ani-mals are invited to check out Tractor Supply’s monthlong Out Here with Animals event at 3826 S. Suncoast Blvd. Contact the store at 352-621-0583 for more information or de-tails about participating in the Aug. 25 pet adoption.

Lacy is a young retriever mix and a striking beauty. She has a sleek, shiny blue coat and a gorgeous orange tint to her eyes. She has incredible speed and loves to run. She is fascinated with birds flying overhead and will chase their shadows. She will also chase cats, so cats are not recommended for her. She is playful and active and would do best with a large fenced yard and an active family. She seems to be quite intelligent and alert. ID No. 31100911.

Warren is a lovable hunk and a people puppy. He wants to walk with you, sit next to you (or on you) and gaze into your eyes.

Warren is neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested and vaccinated. ID No. 35836621.

Scout’s body tells the story of his sad and hard life. He is missing one eye and has some hair loss. He takes treats gently and is now starting to trust people enough to approach them for affection.

Come change his life and show him that he can have a loving home that he has never experienced. ID No. 38860174.

Brandi has a sweet disposition; she’s just her own little lady who knows what she wants. She wants to be an only pet and that’s non-negotiable.
