Citrus County COVID-19 update

Thirty-two new positive cases were reported in Citrus County since the latest FDOH update. Two new hospitalizations were reported; three new deaths were reported.

To date in the county, 1,190 people have tested positive (including two non-residents), 105 have been hospital-ized and 26 have died.

Storm may affect

deadlines Due to the potential

impact of Tropical Storm Isaias, some late scores and lottery numbers will not be available in Sun-day’s edition due to pro-duction deadlines.

Isaiah, for now, won’t affect

testingPeople can still be

tested for COVID-19 by the Florida Department of Health in Citrus County while other state testing sites shutter be-cause of an encroaching storm system.

As Tropical Storm Isa-ias churns toward the Sunshine State, Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) of-ficials announced the temporary closure of their free-standing coro-navirus testing locations, which can’t sustain strong winds.

Those sites will remain closed until 8 a.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 5, but some may reopen sooner depending on the weather.

This closure doesn’t apply to the local health department’s (DOH’s) drive-thru site at the Cit-rus Springs Community Center, according to DOH spokeswoman Au-drey Stasko, who added there are no FDEM test-ing sites in Citrus County.

Free DOH testing will remain available without an appointment from reg-istration at 7:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. on weekdays at the community center, 1570 W. Citrus Springs Blvd.

DOH testing will also stop for the day if 150 people have been tested.

New way to help local veteransMost local VA appointments

now handled via phone or online

Margo WilsonSpecial to the Chronicle

Since March, when the coronavi-rus descended on our area, many vet-erans who have wanted to visit the Veterans Administration Clinic in Lecanto have discovered they’ve been talking to their medical provid-ers online or by phone.

Walk-in clients are not accepted unless they’ve been referred and

have urgent needs. The clinic has cut back its hours to 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., said Shayna Rodriguez, a public affairs specialist with the James A. Haley Veterans’ Hospital in Tampa. The Le-canto clinic is in a VA region admin-istered in Tampa.

Clients cannot get routine COVID-19 testing at the Lecanto clinic, although they can get it at the VA hospital in Tampa. In Citrus County, testing is available at such places as the Citrus Springs Commu-nity Center and the CVS drug store in Homosassa Springs.

Much routine lab work at the Le-canto clinic has been delayed, Rodri-guez said. Nonetheless, the Lecanto clinic’s medical staff does review the urgency of each patient’s case and will order labs if the tests are deemed medically necessary, she said.

Wife asks for ‘miracle’

Debbie selsavageSpecial to the Chronicle

Over the past three years, Coping with Dementia LLC has organized a

walk in Floral City that has raised $75,000 to support families and care partners living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. We are very proud of this re-cord and deeply grateful to the many businesses and indi-viduals in Citrus County that have supported this

project.We were looking forward with ex-

citement to another successful event in October 2020 ... then COVID-19

arrived! We all know what this did to everyone’s best-laid plans, and we have decided it will not be feasible to host a public event in the fall of this year.

We see these circumstances not as a reason to give up, but as an oppor-tunity for creativity and innovation. So, Coping with Dementia has part-nered with Mr. Bill Fitness to host the Citrus County Virtual Wellness Challenge, an online event that we believe — quite frankly — is the per-fect response to the challenging cir-cumstances in which we all find ourselves. What better time than the shutdown and limited mobility of COVID-19 to practice simple ways to get fit and be well, and raise money for a worthy cause?

The Citrus County Virtual Well-ness Challenge will run from Sept. 13 through Oct. 10, 2020. You can

Husband fights for life after work accident

Jeff bryanManaging editor

Ashley Mehler considers herself selfish, to be asking for a second miracle.

But she considers it essential, given the circumstances.

As a Bay area hospital prepared her hus-band for a particularly difficult transfer to Tampa General Hospital; staff called

Mehler, allowing for a brief visit before the ground transport would occur.

“I was called there to say goodbye,” she explained.

But that isn’t what she told her husband, Eran.

“I told him I’d see him later at (Tampa General Hospital,” Ashley said. “We already have one miracle there; I was a little selfish to ask for a second.”

That miracle is Emma, the couple’s 1-year-old daughter, who was conceived through in vitro fertilization (IVF) at Tampa General Hospital. It took 11 years, explained Ashley, noting their daughter celebrated her first birthday May 3, 2020.

“I was selfish,” Ashley admitted when she asked for a second miracle.

Eran Mehler has been in Tampa General Hospital for a week, in stable but critical condition, after a horrible accident at Eagle Buick GMC where he works as a master me-chanic. According to Ashley, Eran was under a truck making repairs when it fell and he was crushed.

The investigation, a gofundme page for Eran stated, showed he had the truck on a hydraulic lift, lifted in an appropriate way to diagnose the rear end differential. The truck was engaged in gear with no pressure

ASHLEY MEHLER/Special to the ChronicleAshley and Eran Mehler have been together the past 11 years since the pair met in Virginia where Ashley was stationed while serving in the U.S. Navy. After a freak accident at work, Eran is fighting for his life at Tampa General Hospital.

Jeff BryanStaff writer

An almost two-week long investigation into a series of burglaries in the Floral City area led Citrus County Sheriff ’s Office deputies to the home of a Floral City man.

After reviewing video footage from three sepa-rate incidents that oc-curred between July 11 and July 22, 2020, in the 8400 block of East Rosko Court in Floral City, depu-ties found the defendant in the case at his residence at 8720 E.

Moonrise Lane.While there, deputies

arrested Jonathan Gage Westerberg, of Floral City, on an unrelated warrant, according to a Citrus County Sheriff ’s Office ar-rest report.

After being booked into the Citrus County Deten-tion Facility, detectives questioned Westerberg about a spate of burglaries in which he took a number

of items from Pudgee’s Restaurant, a storage unit

and a f i f t h -w h e e l c a m p e r, the report stated.

During the inter-view, the 26 -year-old West-

erberg admitted to the

incidents which were all caught on video. He was arrested and charged with three counts of burglary, one count of burglary be-coming armed, one count of burglary of a convey-ance, one count of grand theft and one count of criminal mischief. His bond was set at $47,500.

In a second interview, Westerberg told authori-ties during the July 11,

2020, burglary of a storage unit, he was in possession of a firearm during the in-cident. Video footage of the burglary, the report noted, showed Westerberg in possession of a hunting style rifle.

According to court re-cords, Westerberg is set to appear for an arraignment hearing at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 11, before Judge Richard “Ric” Howard.

Habitat in need of volunteers

Habitat for Humanity of Citrus County needs volun-teers at the job site. If you can spare a few hours a week to help eliminate sub-standard housing in Citrus County and help families realize the dream of home ownership right here in Cit-rus County, call 352-563-2744 to volunteer.

Virtual Latch On event set

The Virtual Latch On events will be held Friday through Sunday, beginning with giveaways and prizes on the Florida West Coast Breastfeeding Task Force’s Facebook page at https:// tinyurl.com/y6j2ow5o. Moms participating in the Latch can register for all three days by visiting https://biglatchon.org/apps/locations and selecting the Spring Hill location to be added to the global count.

“Especially now, while we deal with a global pan-demic, it is important for parents and families around the world to know how im-portant breastfeeding is in protecting infants from in-fection,” said Maret Wa-chira, DOH-Citrus International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and Advocacy Chair of the Florida West Coast Breastfeeding Task Force. “Not only does breast milk provide protec-tion against many illnesses, but it is also sustainable and extremely important during a time of crisis.”

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, breastmilk is considered to be an unlikely source of transmission of SARS-CoV-2, and the AAP strongly supports breastfeeding as the best choice for infant feeding.

If you are breastfeeding and have symptoms of or confirmed COVID-19, take steps to avoid spreading the virus to your baby:

n Wash your hands be-fore touching your baby.

n Wear a cloth face cov-ering, if possible, while feeding at the breast.

n Wash your hands be-fore touching pump or bottle parts and clean all parts after each use.

For information about COVID-19 and breastfeed-ing, visit AAP’s Parenting Website at www.healthy children.org.

Dunnellon man charged for break-inBuster thompson

Staff writer

A homeless man from Dunnel-lon racked up a few felony charges after he was arrested for allegedly breaking into a house to steal a tool he then used to break into a vehicle.

Patrick Nicholas Waybright, 39, is also accused of waving a knife at the car’s owner who woke Way-bright from his sleep inside the burgled vehicle.

According to Waybright’s arrest report, Citrus County Sheriff ’s Of-fice deputies were dispatched on

the morning of Saturday, July 25, 2020, to an urgent well-being check at a redacted address.

When authorities arrived to the scene, they found Waybright sit-ting inside a car under a carport with the door ajar.

A man and woman were also standing nearby.

The man told deputies he found Waybright sleeping in his car’s front passenger seat, and he banged on the door to wake up the intruder.

In response, the man said, Way-bright brandished a pocketknife and threatened him with it,

according to the arrest report. The man told deputies he put his leg on the car door to keep Way-bright inside the vehicle.

When he felt it was safe, the man ran inside his

house, locked his vehicle via its key fob, armed himself with a pis-tol and ran back outside to watch Waybright at a distance while deputies responded.

Deputies later found a thin metal Slim Jim, a tool used to enter locked vehicles, under-neath the car Waybright was

found in.When the man told deputies he

has a similar device and went to get it from a built-in closet at-tached to his house, he found it missing, leading deputies to be-lieve Waybright broke in there to steal it.

Waybright told deputies he doesn’t remember how he got into the vehicle, according to his ar-rest report.

Deputies arrested Waybright on charges of burglarizing a resi-dence, burglarizing a conveyance, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and possessing burglary tools.

Waybright was jailed under a $24,000 bond.

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT

Cement, masonry work continuesfred hiers

Staff writer

The coronavirus pandemic hasn’t hurt Mike Zarro’s ce-ment and masonry business in Citrus County too much, but that’s because Zarro’s business is a necessity in the construc-tion trade.

Zarro said the issue is that when it comes to new home construction, nothing moves forward until the home’s foun-dation is poured and dried so not showing up for a job is not an option.

The 64-year–old Zarro said that because of the nature of the work and the high outside temperatures, most of the workers in the business don’t wear masks.

“In the heat and by the time you get home you’re not wear-ing a mask anymore,” Zarro said. “We’re out in the air ev-eryday but sometimes you’re right next to somebody else.”

And despite the virus Zarro said that builders expect the work to be completed.

That means working when the weather allows it, and sometimes when it doesn’t. So Zarro said it’s not unusual to see him or his workers at a job site early in the morning push-ing water off a home concrete slab.

Zarro said he wants the pub-lic to know he and others like him are on the job despite the coronavirus and if they want cement or masonry work they are available.

Concrete and masonry

businesses that have stayed in business through the pan-demic and other economic hard times do so because they can depend on one another, said Zarro, with 30 years of ex-perience doing the work.

“The people who have been in business are helpful to ev-eryone else,” he said. “We’re all family.”

Zarro wants to remind peo-ple that despite the pandemic, he and his employees are available and ready to help

homeowners improve their properties.

In many cases people who pour cement foundations and do masonry work are often out of mind when compared to other craftsmen, well-known retailers or popular restau-rants, he said.

Despite the pandemic, now is a good time for such house-hold improvements as con-crete driveways, which will add to the value of your home, he said.

“There’s a convenience of having it,” he said. “You don’t have to worry about a washout … and you won’t need a four-wheel drive to get home.

EntErtainmEntResearcher pinpoints

location of van Gogh’s last painting

AUVERS-SUR-OISE, France — The exact location where Dutch master Vincent van Gogh painted his last work has been pinpointed after being hid-den in plain view for years among a tangle of roots next to a rural lane near Paris. Experts say the discovery sheds new light on the anguished painter’s mental state on the day he is widely believed to have fatally shot himself.

A Dutch researcher realized that the scene depicted in the troubled artist’s final work, “Tree Roots,” was visible on a faded picture postcard featuring a man standing next to a bicycle on a back street of the village of Auvers-sur-Oise, 21 miles north of Paris. Van Gogh spent the last weeks of his life in the village and completed dozens of paint-ings there. Helpfully, the card even included the name of the street.

The discovery by Wouter van der Veen, scientific director of the Van Gogh Institute in France, provides a new glimpse of the artist in his final hours. It means art historians can now see that it likely was completed at the end of the afternoon, meaning Van Gogh spent much of the day concentrating on the painting.

“There has been a lot of spec-ulation about his state of mind, but one thing that is very clear is that he spent quite a bit longer working on this painting right through the afternoon. We know that from the light fall in the work,” the museum’s director, Emilie Gordenker, told The As-sociated Press in a telephone in-terview Wednesday. “So, you know, he really was at work right

up to to the end.”The painting hangs in the Am-

sterdam museum. Gordenker said its composition and execu-tion — a tight focus on gnarled roots on a hillside — have led to it being seen as a “harbinger of abstraction.”

Van Gogh never got to further develop the painting style.

Glenda Jackson film starts ‘Masterpiece’

anniversaryLOS ANGELES — Acclaimed

actor Glenda Jackson will launch the 50th season of PBS’ “Masterpiece” drama showcase next year.

The film “Elizabeth is Missing,” with Jackson as a woman in search of a vanished friend even as she copes with dementia, will air Jan. 3. It’s based on the

Emma Healey novel of the same name.

Jackson, 84, is a two-time Oscar winner, for “Women in Love” and “A Touch of Class.”

“Masterpiece,” from WGBH Boston and among TV’s longest-running weekly prime-time series, has been home to award-winning shows including “Downton Abbey” and “Sherlock.”

The anniversary season also will include “All Creatures Great and Small,” a new seven-part series based on James Herri-ot’s books about his adventures as a veterinarian in 1930s England.

The series is set for a January debut. A 1970s adaptation of Herriot’s work was a public TV hit.

to the gas. Eran can be seen on surveil-lance exiting the truck and positioning himself to diagnose the vehicle — a large dually work truck with a tool box bed.

At this point, the page continued, it is unclear exactly what happened, but Eran was pinned between the moving wheels and concrete, crushing his lungs. From the time Eran exits the truck until people are seen running to the vehicle was approximately 4 minutes. The lift, nor truck was ever seen moving in that duration.

When the lift was raised and Eran pulled out he was not responding or breathing, the page read. A military vet-eran provided resuscitation and Eran began to breathe. At this point emer-gency services was notified and further life-saving efforts took place.

“The dealership always has, and con-tinues to be our biggest supporter,” the page stressed. “They truly are family to us.

“He was doing everything the right way; it is stellar equipment,” Ashley said. “(Eagle Buick) are more than amaz-ing when it comes to maintain equip-ment. It was a freak accident it happened.”

Ashley credits his employers, cowork-ers and first responders for providing the urgent care he needed in those criti-cal minutes after the incident occurred.

“One of the first people there, who had prior military training, administered life-saving efforts,” Ashley said, noting her husband is “one of those guys. He has infectious personality, people abso-lutely adore him. He is the most kind person. … He is just a very, very kind soul. He’s an incredible father, incredible.”

The firemen on scene are in contact daily since the accident happened Mon-day, July 20, Ashely said.

“They felt the love for Eran when they were rescuing him,” she said, stressing the point the crew from Homosassa Sta-tion 3, Bravo shift, “are the heroes and they need to be mentioned to.”

When she was notified of the accident, it left her “reeling in pain.”

“Your husband is dying, we’re doing everything we can,” Ashley said, recall-ing the words told to her as her husband was airlifted to a Bay area hospital in critical condition.

Three days after the accident, Ashley and her family finally got a small dose of good news: Though Eran was still in crit-ical condition, he was stabilizing.

“The nurses say anything could change, but he’s expected to survive,” Ashley said. “But it will be a very long road; a long road to recovery. They can see him surviving and that was the first time I heard that since the accident happened.”

Eran is expected to be in the hospital for at least two more months, the reha-bilitation process will be longer, said Ashley, who met her future husband while she stationed in Virginia during her service time with the U.S. Navy.

There isn’t just the road to recovery the family faces; now they have the ob-stacle of the financial impact. Eran, 41, was the sole bread winner of the family after a wreck in late March of this year wiped out Ashley’s hopes of continuing her law enforcement career. The wreck left her with six semi-herniated disks.

“I can never return to work,” as a po-lice officer, Ashely said.

In addition, the couple moved to Homosassa shortly after the wreck, find-ing the dream home with enough prop-erty that would allow them to start a business venture: Starting a Halloween festival. Those dreams are on hold, for now, Ashley said.

“He’s a heck of a man, a great fighter,” she said. “That’s the biggest thing with this type of injury, his lungs got crushed, it’s a pulmonary contusion.

To help with their financial situation, friends and family members sprung to action, launching a gofundme page (https://tinyurl.com/yynf2cgb). Their goal is to raise $15,000 and in a week’s time, they’ve made it past the half way point. It’s not an idea Ashely would have ever considered.

“I was very, very uncomfortable with it at first,” she admitted. “I’ve never asked for help my entire life.”

But, she explained, if Eran can fight for his life, she could learn to accept the plea for help so she can focus on their family.

“If he can fight for his life; I can fight for our way life,” she said. “I had to set my pride aside, and everything had to be about him and protecting our daughter. He loves our home. I couldn’t lose it. I couldn’t lose some of the things he’s been so proud to have.”

The outpouring of support, Ashley said so far is “very overwhelming, very overwhelming.”

“We need to fill this word with positive energy, so he can feel the word buzzing just like I do,” she said.

Rodriguez explained that because of the virus, the VA has converted “the vast majority of our outpa-tient appointments, in-cluding primary care and mental health care,” to vir-tual appointments.

According to Rodriguez, the number of video ap-pointments in the Tampa region, including the Lecanto clinic, was up 2,453% during the quarter that includes April through June, compared to the quarter that imme-diately preceded the virus — October through De-cember 2019.

Phone appointments increased 114%, and face-to-face appointments dropped 59% during the same comparison periods. Rodriguez’s office was un-able to provide monthly totals or raw numbers solely for the Lecanto clinic or for the Tampa region.

Rodriguez’ office also wasn’t able to provide the number of COVID-19 cases that have been seen at the Lecanto clinic. However, Rodriguez pointed to a VA website that shows the VA nationally, as of July 30, has recorded 38,197 cumu-lative COVID cases, in-cluding 5,366 active cases, 30,747 convalescent cases, and 2,084 known deaths.

Florida VA facilities have seen 3,883 cumula-tive cases, 730 active cases, 3,078 convalescent cases, and 75 known deaths.

The Tampa VA region, which includes the Le-canto clinic, has seen 665 cumulative cases, 103 active cases, 547 con-valescent cases, and 15 known deaths.

The region that includes the Gainesville VA hospi-tal and that was the region the Lecanto clinic re-ported to until an adminis-trative reorganization in Fall 2019, reported 1,163 cumulative cases, 233 ac-tive cases, 905 convales-cent cases and 25 known deaths.

You can view the figures at https://www.accessto care.va.gov/Healthcare/C O V I D 1 9 N a t i o n a l Summary.

Rodriguez said that at the Lecanto clinic, people with urgent health matters still can be seen the same day. She said the wait time for routine appointments “can be negotiated to the next available appoint-ment, which is usually

within one day of the pa-tient’s preferred date.”

Patients seeking treat-ment at VA sites, including Lecanto, are asked to wear masks. They have their temperatures checked upon entry and face other health screenings.

Patients needing urgent serious surgery still are being helped at VA hospi-tals like the hospital in Tampa, Rodriguez said. People seeking elective surgery that requires hos-pitalization are having ap-pointments postponed. And day surgery not re-quiring hospitalization is being performed on a case-by-case basis, Rodri-guez said. Surgery is not done at the Lecanto clinic.

The Tampa site is seeing a limited number of hear-ing and vision patients, ac-cording to a VA website.

Rodriguez shared vari-ous VA websites, including one that describes the ser-vices available at VA clin-ics and at the Tampa VA hospital and that also dis-cusses the various safety measures that are being taken because of the virus: https://www.tampa.va.gov/patients/prepare.asp.

There’s a COVID screen-ing tool, https://www.va.gov/covid19screen/.

The VA also offers the VISN 8 Clinical Contact Center, open round the clock, which veterans can call to talk to medical staff about health issues. The phone number is: 1-877-741-3400. Information about the service is at https://www.visn8.va.gov/ccc.asp.

Rodriguez said patients and staff have been re-markably accepting and willing to work under the new methods, considering that “in a very short time, we almost completely changed the way we operate.”

She said that although there are always people who are not happy about change, she feels that, in general, patients have been positive about re-ceiving virtual care.

At the same time, she said, “Our staff has been incredible. We are hope-ful. This is what we are called to do. I’m proud of the staff and the vets for coming with us on this journey.”

Lewis celebrated as American heroJeff MartinAssociated Press

ATLANTA — John Lewis was celebrated as an American hero during his funeral Thursday as former President Barack Obama and others called on people to fol-low Lewis’ example and fight injustice.

Three former presidents joined in the eulogies at At-lanta’s Ebenezer Baptist Church after nearly a week of mourning that took the civil rights icon from his birthplace in Alabama to the nation’s capital of Washington to his final resting place in his home of Atlanta.

Lewis was “a man of pure joy and unbreak-able perseverance,” Obama said during a fiery speech in which he hearkened back to Lewis’ legacy and connected it to the ongoing fight against those who are “doing their darndest to discourage people from voting.”

“He as much as anyone in our history brought this country a little bit closer to our highest ideals,” Obama said. “And some day when we do finish that long journey towards freedom, when we do form a more perfect union, whether it’s years from now or decades or even if it takes another two centuries, John Lewis will be a founding father of that fuller, fairer, better America.”

Former President George W. Bush said Lewis preached the Gospel and lived its ide-als, “insisting that hate and fear had to be

answered with love and hope.” Lewis died July 17 at the age of 80.

The arc of Lewis’ legacy of activism was once again tied to Ebenezer’s former pastor Martin Luther King Jr., whose sermons Lewis discovered while scanning the radio dial as a 15-year-old boy growing up in then-segregated Alabama.

King continued to inspire Lewis’ civil rights work for the next 65 years as he fought segre-gation during sometimes bloody marches, Greyhound bus “Freedom Rides” across the South and later during his long tenure in the U.S. Congress.

“Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and help redeem the soul of America,” Lewis said of his run-ins with the law. The phrase was repeated several times during the funeral.

Sheriff’s office raids home, arrests two

Jeff BryanManaging editor

An early afternoon raid Tuesday, July 28, 2020, in the 6900 block of West Crosbeck Court in Homosassa led to the arrests of two Citrus County men, in-cluding a charge of knowingly using a

house to traffic drugs, according to Citrus County Sheriff ’s Office arrest affidavits.

Citrus County Sher-iff ’s Office detained at 2:10 p.m. Tuesday, David Allen Sinclair, 62, of Homosassa, and Issac Randel Edwards Sr., 43, of Beverly Hills.

The report stated authorities inter-viewed both defendants and searched the three-bedroom house.

Detectives arrested and charged Sin-clair with one count of owning/leasing/renting a house with knowledge of it being used to traffic a controlled sub-stance as well as one count of posses-

sion of ammunition by a convicted felon. His bond was set at $15,000.

Authorities arrested and charged Edwards with one count of owning/leasing/renting a house with knowl-edge of it being used to traffic a controlled sub-stance; one count of

trafficking in methamphetamine; one count of trafficking heroin; one count of trafficking in fentanyl; and, two counts of selling or possessing a controlled substance. His total bond was set at $88,000.

Edwards is a 22-time convicted felon.According to the report, Sinclair told

detectives he owns the house; however, it is being foreclosed on. Additionally, Sin-clair said Edwards doesn’t pay rent, but he pays other bills. He told authorities he

was aware of the traffic in and out, but stays out of it and doesn’t like snitching. He stated he doesn’t condone the action, but he stays away from it.

During a search of Sinclair’s room, detectives found a loaded magazine under his night stand, loaded with 20 rounds of 22-mag ammunition. They also found multiple 22-caliber short rounds inside an ammo box, the report stated. Sinclair told authorities he had the magazine for the past six or seven months and he was going to get rid of it.

According to a background check, Sinclair has two prior felony convictions.

During their interview with Edwards, he initially denied staying at the resi-dence, telling authorities he just comes and goes, but does pay bills, the report stated. When detectives pointed out his debit card along with other mail and a letter made out to a judge with his name on it was found in his bedroom, Ed-wards said, “Let’s get to the point.”

While searching Edwards’ room, de-tectives found 48.2 grams of metham-phetamine in plastic baggies under the dresser; another clear baggie in plain view containing 49.5 grams of heroin; an-other 4.6 grams of heroin on top of the dresser; a digital scale with 13 grams of fentanyl in a plastic baggie; and, inside the top dresser draw, authorities found 1 gram of fentanyl as well as four 8 milli-gram buprenorphine pills.

In addition, detectives found an as-sortment of miscellaneous drug paraphernalia.

In a third room, located next to Ed-wards’ room, authorities found a safe on the floor. Inside, the report stated, they found 87 grams of cannabis and 17.8 grams of cocaine.

Both Sinclair and Edwards were transported to the Citrus County Deten-tion Facility. They are scheduled to make an appearance Tuesday, Aug. 11, in front of Judge Richard “Ric” Howard.

Detectives arrest Inverness woman on drug charges

Jeff BryanManaging editor

One Inverness woman made a bad call.Detectives arrested Nichole Leigh Cash

on Tuesday, July 28, 2020, after the 22-year-old Inverness woman sold an un-

dercover detective 14 grams of methamphet-amine and 6 grams of heroin for $1,700 in the parking lot of a conve-nience store in the 7600 block of West Homosassa Trail in Homosassa, according to a Citrus County Sheriff ’s Office arrest affidavit.

Cash was charged with one count of trafficking heroin, one count of trafficking in methamphetamine, one count of pos-session of a controlled substance, one count of possession of drug paraphernalia and one count of unlawful use of a two-way communication device. Her bond was set at $55,000.

Cash already had five active Citrus County warrants related to the under-cover buy operations, the sheriff ’s office said.

According to the report, the undercover detective and Cash had reached an agree-ment on a deal and location for the trans-action via cell phone. The pair met in the parking lot, with Cash arriving in a 2016 Orange Hyundai two-door vehicle.

The detective entered Cash’s car via the passenger side door where the two had a conversation, the report noted. During the transaction, the detective handed Cash the agreed amount of $1,720 for 14 grams of methamphetamine and 6 grams of heroin.

According to the report, Cash then placed two baggies, one containing a brown powder and the other containing a crystal like substance. While Cash counted the money, other units on scene took her into custody. She was transported to the Emergency Operation Center for her interview.

While processing the scene, including the vehicle, detectives found the baggie of crystal-like substance on the ground next to her purse, the report stated. It tested positive for methamphetamine, weighing approximately 14.6 grams.

The baggie with the brown power tested positive for the presence of fentanyl, weighing approximately 6.2 grams, the re-port stated.

In addition, detectives found a pink zip-per pouch that had one baggie containing two plastic baggies, which tested positive for traces of fentanyl, approximately 1 gram, and a cut blue straw, the report stated. Also inside the pink zipper pouch was a metal cylinder containing an un-known white substance.

According to the report, detectives also found various drug paraphernalia items.

AMERICAN LEAGUE NATIONAL LEAGUE ROUNDUP/MATCHUPSNationals 6, Jays 4: Michael A. Tay-lor’s second homer of the season helped the “visiting” Nationals knock around struggling Hyun-Jin Ryu. Kurt Suzuki delivered a two-run double and Asdrúbal Cabrera added an RBI double off Ryu, who gave up Taylor’s two-run shot to straightaway center that he celebrated with a socially dis-tanced dugout dance in the fourth. Indians 2, Twins 0: Cleveland’s Shane Bieber tied the major league record for strikeouts in a pitcher’s first two starts of the season, punching out 13 over eight innings. Bieber fanned 14 over six scoreless innings. His 27 strikeouts in the two games matched the record set by Karl Spooner of the Brooklyn Dodgers.Royals 5, Tigers 3: Trevor Rosenthal pitched a scoreless ninth for his first save since 2017, overcoming Miguel Cabrera’s first multihomer game since 2016.

Red Sox 4, Mets 2: Christian Vázquez hit two more homers and Martín Pérez gave Boston’s patch-work rotation a much-needed lift.Pérez overcame four walks and some shaky defense behind him, allowing only two hits while striking out five in 5 2/3 innings for his first win with the Red Sox.LATEPhiladelphia at N.Y.

MLB postpones Blue Jays-Phillies series

NEW YORK — Major League Base-ball has postponed this weekend’s scheduled series between Toronto and Philadelphia because of concerns about the coronavirus after two Phillies staffers tested positive.

“Major League Baseball will coordi-nate with health experts and the Major League Baseball Players Association in planning for the Phillies’ resumption of play, and will provide further scheduling updates as necessary,” the league said in a statement Thursday.

Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo revealed news of the postponed series Thursday, saying his club was “not going to Philadelphia,” where the series was scheduled to take place.

“Our plans right now are to stay put and let MLB work through whatever

they’re working through,” Montoyo said before his club played the last of four games in Washington.

MLB will play 7-inning games in doubleheaders

NEW YORK — Shortened season, shorter games.

Big league doubleheaders will now become a pair of seven-inning games, baseball’s latest radical rule change during a season reshaped by the coro-navirus pandemic.

Major League Baseball and the play-ers’ union reached agreement Thurs-day on the new twinbills, a person familiar with the situation told The Asso-ciated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because there was no official announcement.

ESPN first reported the double-header deal.


Braves edge Rays Charles Odum

AP sports writer

ATLANTA — Max Fried retired Tampa Bay’s first 14 batters and combined with three relievers on a four-hitter as the Atlanta Braves beat the Rays 2-1 on Thursday night.

Dansby Swanson had a run- scoring single in Atlanta’s two-run second inning.

Fried (1-0) struck out seven and walked one while allowing one run in 6 2/3 innings. The left-hander improved to 4-0 in four interleague starts.

Luke Jackson and Shane Greene combined for four outs before Mark Melancon pitched the ninth for his second save.

Left fielder Adam Duvall made a diving catch on the warning track of José Martinez’s drive off Melancon to open the ninth. Brandon Lowe singled before pinch runner Kevin Kiermaier was caught stealing without a slide on Tyler Flowers’ throw to second base. Melancon struck out Hunter Renfroe to end it.

The 26-year-old Fried struck out the side in the first to set the pace for his dominant start.

Ryan Yarbrough (0-1) allowed two runs on only two hits with three walks in 6 1/3 innings.

The Braves won two home games over the Rays after losing two in St. Petersburg.

Fried was perfect before Mike Brosseau hit a single up the middle with two outs in the fifth. Fried picked Brosseau off first base to end the inning.

Following Willy Adames’ two-out double off Fried in the seventh, pinch hitter Ji-Man Choi hit Jack-son’s first pitch to right field for a

run-scoring single.Swanson’s second-inning single

drove in Marcell Ozuna, who sin-gled and moved to second when Du-vall was hit by a pitch. Ozuna scored with a head-first slide as he avoided Mike Zunino’s tag at the plate by reaching his hand to the plate.

Austin Riley’s sacrifice fly drove in Duvall.

TRAILING AGAIN The Braves’ two early runs

placed Tampa Bay in a familiar po-sition. The Rays have trailed in five straight games and six of their first seven.

TRAINER’S ROOMRays: Choi said through a trans-

lator “I feel great” before the game as he missed his second straight start after leaving Tuesday night’s game with a sore right shoulder. ... LHP Colin Poche had his second Tommy John surgery on his left elbow on Wednesday. The proce-dure was performed by Dr. Keith Meister in Arlington, Texas.

UP NEXTRays: LHP Blake Snell is ex-

pected to be limited to no more than four innings as he makes his first start of the season in Friday night’s opening game of a three-game series at Baltimore. Mead-ows joined the team’s alternate site at Port Charlotte group on Sat-urday after a three-week absence following a positive test for the coronavirus. Snell said Thursday he expects to pitch “three-plus (in-nings) for sure.”

FRESHWATERLAKE ROUSSEAU —

Bill Burgess of Lake Rous-seau RV and Fishing said folks are having pretty good luck with redear bluegill and shellcrackers, catching nice sizes and quantities using wiggler worms or crickets along the edge of the grass in 4-7 feet of water. In deeper water they’re usually next to the breaks. Crappie have been small and typi-cally down deeper. Best to look for catfish at night-time with mullet on the bottom and coming up shallow. Hydrilla is caus-ing problems so be care-ful. Bass fishing is slow, try big worms dragging over top of the edge of the weeds and at the drop-offs into deeper water. A Tex-as-rigged Culprit worms in fire and ice or plum should work best, and wild shin-ers are always good. Early in the morning or late in the evening continue to be the best times to fish and avoid the heat.

SALTWATERWITHLACOOCHEE —

Captain Zack Lewis of Reputation Charters (352-302-7928), via Hook, Line and Sinker Bait and Tackle, said, “With the red snapper season coming to a close the red snapper season is still good. We

have been catching some red snapper gags and man-grove snapper. The gag season is open till Decem-ber 31. If anyone is inter-ested in a trip let me know. For shallow water grouper or offshore for grouper and amberjack. The in-shore bite has been good as well.”

KING’S BAY — Captain Louie Argiro of Florida Fishing Adventures (352-601-1963, www.florida fishingadventures.com), based out of Pete’s Pier in Crystal River, said, “In-shore fishing this week we have been seeing good numbers of redfish around the mouths of the rivers leading to the Gulf. Throw-ing live shrimp on a jig head into current-driven points has been the ticket. Let the pinfish nibble on your shrimp till you feel a bigger tug, that’s when you know you’ve got a redfish on.

“Scalloping has shown to increase in numbers the further south that you travel. Looking for the shorter grass instead of the long grass seems to make it much easier to see those tasty mollusks.

“Offshore the grouper fishing has held steady for the most part. It seems as if this warm water has brought more and more goliath groupers onto our shallow rocks which can make for a hard day. Fish-ing many different spots and live chumming often has shown to give the best outcomes.”

Fishing REPORTS

SEC goes conference-onlyralph d. russo

AP college football writer

The powerhouse South-eastern Conference recon-figured its schedule Thursday to include only league games in 2020, a pandemic-forced decision that pushes major college football closer to a siloed regular season in which none of the power confer-ences cross paths.

The SEC’s university presidents agreed on a 10-game schedule that elimi-nates all nonconference opponents and is set to begin Sept. 26. The SEC championship game, origi-nally scheduled for Dec. 5, will be pushed back to Dec. 19.

Each SEC team will have a midseason off week and Dec. 12 will be an off week for the entire confer-ence. The delayed start for the Southeastern Confer-ence is two weeks later than what the Atlantic

Coast Conference set for itself Wednesday and cre-ates 12 weeks to get in 10 games and determine par-ticipants for the SEC title game in Atlanta.

The regular season was originally scheduled to begin Labor Day weekend, but there was concern among SEC officials the return of students to campus in the coming weeks will spike COVID-19 cases. Conference officials believe delaying the start of the season improves the SEC’s chances to launch.

“We believe these sched-ule adjustments offer the best opportunity to com-plete a full season by giving us the ability to adapt to the fluid nature of the virus and the flexibility to adjust schedules as necessary if disruptions occur,” Commis-sioner Greg Sankey said.

A schedule with new matchups still must be ap-proved by athletic direc-tors and will be announced later, the SEC said.

Gobert lifts Jazz past Pelicans

LAKE BUENA VISTA — Rudy Gobert sank two free throws with 6.9 seconds left to cap a 14-point, 12-rebound and three-block performance, giving the Utah Jazz a 106-104 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans in the first game of the NBA’s restart on Thursday night.

New Orleans nearly pulled out the victory as time ex-pired when Brandon Ingram’s 3-point attempt rimmed out.

Koepka leads at WGC in MemphisMEMPHIS, Tenn. — De-

fending champion Brooks Koepka matched his career best with an 8-under 62 on Thursday to take a one-stroke

lead over Rickie Fowler in the FedEx St. Jude Invitational.

Rodriguez shoots course-record 62

BIRMINGHAM, England — Sebastian Garcia Rodri-guez led a Spanish charge in the European Tour’s latest stop in England, shooting a course-record 10-under 62 in the opening round of the Hero Open on Thursday.

Moore, Schenk tied at the top

Wall Street slidesTech strength helps

avert a big lossStan Choe

AP business writer

NEW YORK — Most of Wall Street stumbled Thursday, but yet another rise for big technology stocks helped keep the market’s losses in check.

The S&P 500 dropped 12.22 points, or 0.4%, to 3,246.22, with nearly three out of four stocks in the index falling. Among the hardest-hit were oil producers, banks and other companies that most need the economy to pull out of its recession. Treasury yields also sank in a sign of in-creased pessimism about the economy.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 225.92 points, or 0.9%, to 26,313.65. Ear-lier in the morning, though, the market had seemed set for a much steeper fall. The Dow was down as many as 547 points, while the S&P 500 tumbled 1.7% within the first hour of trading.

Stronger-than-expected profit reports from UPS and other companies helped the market trim its losses through the day. So did steadying prices for Amazon and other big tech-oriented stocks, which reported their own results after the day’s trading ended. Anticipation for their re-ports, which proved to be even better than Wall Street expected, helped the Nasdaq composite completely erase its early loss and climb 44.87, or 0.4%, to end the day at 10,587.81.

The jumbled trading came after a re-port showed that layoffs are continuing at their stubborn pace across the country, denting hopes that the economy can re-cover nearly as quickly as it plummeted into recession. A separate report on Thursday showed that the U.S. economy contracted at a nearly 33% annual rate in the spring, the worst quarter on record.

Markets worldwide had already turned lower before those data releases dropped. An earlier report showed that Germany’s economy, Europe’s largest, suffered through its worst quarter on re-cord during the spring.

Investors had already been expecting the reports on the economy to be weak, “so the real story today for traders is earnings,” said Chris Larkin, managing director of trading and investment prod-uct at E-Trade Financial.

Thursday was the busiest day for profit reports among S&P 500 companies within the busiest week this earnings season.

Earnings reports have mostly been

better than Wall Street’s expectations so far, but they’ve been far below year-ago levels, before the pandemic struck. The big companies in the S&P 500 are on track to report a nearly 38% drop for the second quarter from a year earlier, according to FactSet.

Energy stocks had some of the mar-ket’s sharpest losses, dropping in concert with oil prices amid worries about a weaker economy. Exxon Mobil dropped 4.9%, and ConocoPhillips lost 5.8%.

Financial stocks were also weak, hurt by a drop in interest rates that reins in the profits to be made from lending. JP-Morgan Chase fell 2.7%, and Citigroup lost 3.1%

On the winning end was UPS, which jumped 14.4% to a record high after re-porting revenue and profits for the spring that blew past analysts’ expectations. It benefited from more people getting de-liveries at home amid the pandemic.

Qualcomm rose 15.2% after it also re-ported stronger-than-expected quarterly results, while announcing it had resolved a dispute with Huawei and signed a new license agreement.

Shortly after trading ended for the day, Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google’s parent company all reported bigger prof-its for the latest quarter than Wall Street had forecast. Apple also announced a 4-for-1 stock split.

Expectations were already high for each of the giants. Their stocks are all up at least 14% this year, when the S&P 500 is up just 0.5%. Amazon is up more than 65%.

Investors have continued to flock to them on expectations that their growth will only continue as the pandemic accel-erates life’s shift toward online. Their huge size also gives their stocks’ move-ments great sway over index funds: The four alone account for nearly 16% of the S&P 500 by market value.

Thursday’s loss for the S&P 500 gave back some of its big gain from the day be-fore, when the Federal Reserve pledged to keep interest rates at their record low but highlighted how uncertain the path is for the economy due to the pandemic. It was the second time that the index has flip-flopped on consecutive days this week.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 0.55% from 0.58% late Wednesday. It tends to move with investors’ expecta-tions for the economy and inflation.

Benchmark U.S. crude dropped $1.35 to settle at $39.32 per barrel. Brent crude, the international standard, fell 81 cents to $42.94 a barrel.

LONDON — A technol-ogy research firm says Huawei has overtaken Samsung to become the world’s biggest smart-phone seller, as its home market in China emerged from the coronavirus pan-demic better off than other economies.

Analysts at Canalys said Thursday that Huawei shipped 55.8 million de-vices in the second quar-ter of 2020.

While the figure was down 5% compared with a year ago, it was a smaller decline than rival Sam-sung, which saw smart-phone sales slide 30% to 53.7 million.

Huawei still faces U.S. government sanctions re-stricting its international business, but it has come to dominate its domestic Chinese market, said Canalys, which estimated that the company’s

shipments in China rose 8% in the April-June pe-riod. Mainland China now accounts for 70% of Hua-wei’s total smartphone sales, it said.

“If it wasn’t for COVID-19, it wouldn’t have hap-pened,” Senior Analyst Ben Stanton said. “Hua-wei has taken full advan-tage of the Chinese economic recovery to reig-nite its smartphone busi-ness.” He noted that Samsung has a tiny market share in China, while the South Korean company’s core markets, including the U.S., Europe, Brazil and India, have been rav-aged by virus outbreaks and lockdowns.

Sanctions aimed at crip-pling Huawei are part of a broader global battle be-tween the U.S. and China over technology and trade. The restrictions mean Huawei phones now face a distinct disadvantage out-side China because they

can only run a stripped-down open source version of Google’s Android oper-ating system and don’t come with the U.S. search giant’s apps like Chrome, YouTube, and Google Maps. Users also have to download apps through Huawei’s own app store, not the Google Play store.

In China, popular home-grown apps for services like shopping and messag-ing help fill that gap.

Huawei might not be able to hold on to the top spot as the global economy recovers, because wireless carriers are increasingly wary of its devices, the firm said.

Huawei phones are pop-ular in Europe and Asia but little known in the U.S., where the company’s telecom switching gear has been effectively blocked for years over fears it could be used for spying by China’s commu-nist leaders.

Americans’ confidence in the economy is sinking as a resurgent coronavirus causes renewed business shutdowns, especially in Sun Belt states. The trend poses a serious threat: Falling consumer confidence could depress any recovery because anxious consumers, whose spending drives the economy, would be less inclined to do so.

The Conference Board’s consumer confidence index for this month dropped to 92.6 from 98.3 in June. It’s down significantly from 132.6 in February, before the viral outbreak intensified. Consumers are now much more pessimistic about the economy’s near-term

prospects, with their outlook on growth within six months falling to 91.5 from 106.1. They are modestly more optimistic about current conditions; that index rose from 86.7 to 94.2.

Confidence fell particularly sharply in Michigan, Florida, Texas and California — “no doubt” because of the resurgent coronavirus, said Lynn Franco, a senior director at the Conference Board.

Americans’ assessment of the job market has improved but is still far below pre-pan-demic levels. About one-fifth of consumers think jobs are “plentiful,” up from just 16.5% in April but less than half the figure in February.

Huawei overtakes Samsung as top smartphone seller

Thanks for your honestyMy wife and I would

like to thank a young lady named Madison who works at Wendy’s drive-thru in Hom-osassa for her honesty. While driving home from a doctor’s ap-pointment, we stopped for a takeout order and left

before receiving our change for a large bill. After driving a few miles down the high-way, we discovered our error and drove back to Wendy’s. Upon arriving, Madi-son greeted us with a sealed envelope con-taining all of our change. Her integrity

is to be commended and her

parents should be very proud of her, as she should be of herself. Thanks again, Madison.

Parkway will be done before US 19It appears the Suncoast Park-

way is going to be finished be-fore this highway on (U.S.) 19 through Homosassa is done. What a joke.

Himmel a strong leader

It is an honor to support my friend, Sandra “Sam” Him-mel, as she seeks her fifth term as Citrus County Super-intendent of Schools. Sam has always demonstrated strong leadership for our county as well as a deep commitment to our students and will con-tinue to do so for the next four years.

I am a retired educator, having worked all 34 years in Citrus County Schools. I know the dedication it takes to lead this school system, and Sam has shown her leadership over and over. She has brought distinction to our county as one of the best in the state. Citrus County Schools was named a Purple Heart School District and was the first in the state of Flor-ida to receive that award. Our students rank in the top third of the state in Math, English, Science and Social Studies. Her recognition as the 2020 Superintendent of the Year for Florida and president- elect of the Florida Associa-tion of District Schools Su-perintendent’s board of directors exemplifies the rep-utation that Sam holds with her peers.

Sam has led our school sys-tem through many crises and changes over the past 16 years. Her handling of the aftermath of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas school shooting, changing classroom mandates, budget cuts, and most recently the coronavirus crisis proves her unquestion-able ability to lead, and more importantly, to continue to do so as our superintendent.

Sam has been a close friend for 60 years and I know her heart. She cares deeply for our students and every deci-sion she makes is run through the filter of what is best for them. Sam also has an affinity for teachers and staff, having been a teacher herself. She supports the employees of Citrus County Schools just as much as she cares and sup-ports the students. I humbly ask that you join me in voting

for Sandra “Sam” Himmel for Superintendent of Schools.

Prendergast is driven by integrityA sheriff should be some-

one who can balance leader-ship, compassion and selfless service while still holding true to their moral compass, even when it is not popular. Sheriff Mike Prendergast has proven his compassion for his employees and his commu-nity uniformly. His leadership is beyond measure, being trained through the nation’s top military educational insti-tutions coupled with the one and only University of Flor-ida, he is a well-rounded in-tegrity driven leader. Promoting an egalitarian style of leadership through-out the office, Sheriff Pren-dergast set the stage for concepts to become reality and community oriented ideas being instituted ubiqui-tously. Appreciating all em-ployees and propagating a continual educational pro-gram throughout all classifi-cations is key to future successes. Implementing pro-grams addressing community issues either through team approached behavioral assis-tance or through the

enforcement of rule, Sheriff Prendergast has made record breaking progress. Either through the seizure of deadly illicit narcotics such as her-oin and fentanyl or through life saving programs such as Narcan equipped first responders.

Sheriff Prendergast’s integ-rity is above reproach and he expects his command to be no different. Allowing his leaders to guide without fear, listening to subject matter experts, and constantly in-spiring others to grow is not an ego driven characteristic, but one of mutual respect and regard. Adhering to the sheriff ’s office mission, vi-sion and values is at the fore-front of any decision made. Sheriff Prendergast in the past four years has proven his ability to be fiscally re-sponsible, adhering to the re-quests of the BOCC while still providing competitive com-pensation for his employees and equipping them with the necessary accouterments to ensure theirs and our com-munity’s safety. Officially partnering with state and fed-eral agencies has opened to the door to advanced train-ings, equipment procure-ments and support like never before.

Keeping Sheriff Prender-gast as Citrus County’s Sheriff for the next four years will ensure our communities safety, keep knowledgeable professionals in place, and set the stage for another four years of record breaking suc-cesses. Please take this en-dorsement from a 27-year and counting law enforcement professional who has worked in or supervised Patrol, Ca-reer Criminal, Narcotics, Property Crimes, Street Crimes, School Resource, Ju-dicial, Civil, Special Victims Unit, Major Crimes, Special Operations, Fleet, Public In-formation and Victim Advo-cacy. Re-elect Mike Prendergast for Sheriff of Cit-rus County, a proven well-rounded leader.

Graduating from Castleton University of Vermont in 1977, with a Bachelor of

Arts degree in sociology and a minor in education, I owned and operated an Amoco gas station and general store while I attended col-lege and with an apartment over the store in Whiting Ver-mont, it was a perfect fit. Coming down to Citrus County Flor-ida for a winter break I met my fu-ture wife, Corl, plans changed and I bought a home in 1978 and have been living in Citrus ever since. My father, Bernard Gregory, a retired Army sergeant with 22 years in the military, having jumped with the 101st on D-Day into Normandy, came to Citrus with my mother, Rita, after I had made Citrus our home. There are now five generations of our family who call Citrus home.

I have the unique experience of having worked with four dif-ferent property appraiser ad-ministrations with the property appraiser office. Starting with Ron Schlutz, Melanie Hensley, Geoffrey Greene and Les Cook,

I’ve seen what works and what hasn’t over the 14 years with the office. It is my aim to put the best aspects of each administration

into play and by keep-ing an open door pol-icy with the public addressing their con-cerns when they should arise.

Before the years at the property ap-praiser office I ran my own business, Liberty Delivery, with 20 to 30 em-ployees depending on the time of the year. We serviced all of Citrus County and

had a contract with Citrus County that was renewed every year for 18 years. That was and is something unheard of today.

As I said to the Citrus County Building Alliance, being the only candidate who has been cross-trained in all fields of the property appraiser office I offer the complete package for the future of the builders and others who will need that ex-pertise as we transcend these difficult times that lay ahead. I was talking with my barber yes-terday. She bought a home in Walden Woods and I explained to her about having to buy the

yearly stickers for the home, much like getting your vehicle registration renewed each year and because you do not own the land your home is on the land belonging to Walden Woods LLC and even with an amended tangible exemption of $25,000 that still left a tangible tax bill for the owners of the park prop-erty of over $107,000 in 2019. Subsequently the owners of the homes in the park and those who may be renting homes in the park will see a bill for their share in some form or manner.

Most of you have met people from different areas of business that can do the talk but can’t do the walk, I certainly have, in fact, I’ve hired some during the years and having discovered their talk was the only thing they were good at. This is some-thing you certainly don’t want in the property appraiser of-fice. Not only can I do the talk, I can do the walk because of being cross-trained in all de-partments of the property ap-praiser’s office I know where potential problems may arise before they ever appear.

CHANGING LIVES

Building dreams and investing in

familiesThe Department of

Housing and Urban D e v e l o p -

ment (HUD) de-fines affordable as spending 30% of household in-come on housing- r e l a t e d e x -penses. Regret-tably, a majority of hard-working, l o w i n c o m e Americans can-not afford decent housing.

With an affordable home an illusion for many low in-come families, the Chris-tian housing ministry Habitat for Humanity was formed in 1976 in Americus, Georgia, dedicated to the vision that everyone needs a decent place to live. Today, Habitat is in all 50 states, more than 70 coun-tries, and has helped more than 29 million afford the dream of owning a decent home.

Locally, Habitat for Hu-manity of Citrus County was formed in 1993 by a group of county residents not only dedicated to building dreams, but also to invest-ing in families. With com-munity support and partner families, it has gone from building one home per year during its first 10 years to 20 homes annually.

Given Citrus County’s dearth of affordable hous-ing, Habitat has been a bright light for the county’s low income residents who dream of home ownership. Despite the bleak times of the COVID-19 pandemic, Habitat’s bright light shined radiantly last month when it celebrated the milestone of handing the keys for its 200th home to Eugenia Wilkins, a divorced mother with a young daughter.

Wilkins personifies Habi-tat’s investment in families that changes lives. After two years as a Habitat part-ner and 500 sweat equity

hours that included home ownership courses, working

in Habitat ’s thrift stores, and helping out on the job site, she and her daugh-ter have an af-fordable home to call their own.

Keeping its s t e a d y - e y e d focus on build-ing dreams and investing in fam-

ilies, Habitat’s celebration of its 200th home was not the culmination of its vi-sion, but the launching of a brighter future for the county’s low income families.

Twenty-eight families working toward their dream of home ownership are al-ready on its approved wait-ing list for homes to be built in the next fiscal year that began this month. And, de-spite being put on tempo-rary hold by the pandemic, Habitat’s ambitious plan to construct 500 affordable homes in Citrus Springs is poised to proceed when conditions stabilize.

Nonetheless, because of the pandemic causing a two-month shutdown of its thrift stores, diminished donations and fewer volun-teers, our local Habitat needs the generous support of our community to keep its bright light shining more than ever.

With Habitat’s mission one of the purest, county residents are urged to do their part by shopping at its two thrift stores, making donations no matter how small, and working a few hours a week as a construc-tion volunteer.

By investing in families, Habitat is not only helping to attain home ownership for those who dream, but also the building of a stron-ger community for the ben-efit of all Citrus County residents.

THE ISSUE:Habitat for Humanity.

OUR OPINION:A bright light during bleak

times.

About the censusDo we have any idea of

what percentage of Citrus County residents have al-ready turned in their 2020 U.S. Census data?

No mail-in ballotsMy daughter lives in

New Jersey. Her birthday was July 17, 2020. On July 9, I mailed her a birthday card. Today is July 22 and she still hasn’t gotten it. And they want me to entrust the Postal Service with my mail-in ballot? I don’t think so.

Fence new parkVery concerned about the

new park in Crystal River on (U.S.) 19 and Citrus Avenue. This should be entirely

fenced for the young chil-dren there. I don’t want any children running out into (U.S.) 19. It needs to be fenced and gated.

First off, I would like to thank the Chroni-cle for the opportu-

nity to share my vision for Citrus County through the forum and in-terviews. The Chronicle en-dorsed Ruthie Schlabach be-cause of her experience in the political arena, which makes sense, but I agree to disagree.

What Citrus County citizens want and need is someone who un-derstands their needs and concerns. A person who is in the trenches with them fighting the good fight. I have lived here practically my entire life. My parents and I have owned small business in Citrus County for over 30 years. We have struggled through the ups and downs. I have seen first hand how convoluted the government process can be and know where changes should be made to make the government work for the citizen and not the other way around. Why are the board meetings held in the middle of the work week? is the question I

have been asking. When all voices are heard, then we can truly come together as a community to make the

best decisions for our county! If signs, com-mercials and fancy cards put in your mailbox is what decides this election, then it is obvi-ous we have a problem. The person who has the largest backing with the rich and

powerful does not directly correlate with the candi-date who will be your best representation. If we want real change, then please take a moment and watch the Chronicle forum or the stump video found on CCBA Facebook and listen to what each candidate has to say. My vision is clear. I will be the candidate who demands change that will give everyone a voice. I will be the candidate who will bridge the disconnect between the county gov-ernment and citizens and promise to be the accessi-ble candidate who will sit down and listen and not just hear your concerns.

Let’s work together and

unite as a community be-cause we truly care, and not leave it to someone who needs another notch in their belt. I will work hard and dedicate myself to fixing the problems in-stead of dancing around them. We need light in-dustry to create opportu-nities for our youths. We need support and aware-ness concerning mental heath issues that have long been ignored and we need solutions for affordable housing for all. We want carefully planned growth and must have new ideas with different perspec-tives. I am a young, vibrant, Citrus County- grown woman who has seen enough political rhet-oric in this community that could choke a horse. I am not a politician. I am not for sale and will al-ways stand up for the lit-tle guy. If you are ready to stand up beside me and scream out loud and proud that big money can’t buy Citrus County, then all you have to do is vote Angel Lewis on or before Aug. 18.

Angel Lewis is a candi-date for Citrus County Commission District 3.

No charges for officer in Michael

Brown’s deathCLAYTON, Mo. — St.

Louis County’s top prosecutor announced Thursday that he will not charge the former po-lice officer who fatally shot Mi-chael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, a dramatic decision that could reopen old wounds amid a renewed and intense national conversation about racial injustice and the police treatment of minorities.

It was nearly six years ago that a grand jury declined to indict Darren Wilson, the white police officer who shot Brown, a Black 18-year-old. Civil rights leaders and Brown’s mother had hoped that Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell, the county’s first Black prosecutor, would reopen the case after he took office in January 2019.

Bell announced his decision after quietly re- investigating the case in a five-month review.

Full appeals court to review dismissal

of Flynn caseWASHINGTON — The

entire Washington-based federal appeals court is step-ping into the legal dispute over former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn as it weighs whether a judge can be forced to dis-miss a case that the Justice Department no longer wants to pursue.

The action Thursday by the full U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacates a decision from a three-judge panel last month that ordered the case dropped. The move also pro-longs the fight over Flynn’s fate and represents one more dramatic development in a case that has taken un-expected twists and turns over the past year and turned Flynn into something of a cause celebre for Trump and his supporters.

The court set arguments for Aug. 11. It did not offer an explanation for its decision in a brief order posted online, but did say “the parties should be prepared to ad-dress whether there are ‘no other adequate means to at-tain the relief’ desired.”

Sidney Powell, a lawyer for Flynn, did not immediately re-turn an email seeking com-ment, but tweeted the news and wrote, “WOW!” A Justice Department spokeswoman declined to comment.

Belarus: Russians plotted attacks;

Kremlin rolls eyesMINSK, Belarus — Belar-

usian authorities on Thurs-day accused more than 30 detained Russians of plotting terror attacks amid a presidential election cam-paign, allegations that Rus-sian officials angrily rejected.

The Belarusian State Se-curity Committee, still known by its Soviet-era name KGB, said it detained 32 people from private Russian military firm Wagner early Wednes-day at a sanitarium outside the capital of Minsk. Another person was detained in the country’s south.

Security Council Secretary Andrei Ravkov said Thursday that the Russians are facing a criminal probe on charges of plotting terror attacks in Be-larus. He claimed that Belaru-sian authorities were searching for another 200 Russian “mili-tants” believed to be in the ex-Soviet nation.

The Kremlin responded by urging Belarus to explain its action and to fully respect the detainees’ rights.

“There is no information about any wrongdoing of the Russians that may have caused the detention.,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. He shrugged off the allegations of the Russians’ involvement in ef-forts to destabilize Belarus as “nothing but innuendo.”

US virus surge hits plateauFew experts

celebrate; trend driven by big states

Mike Stobbe and nicky ForSter

Associated Press

NEW YORK — While deaths from the coronavirus in the U.S. are mounting rapidly, public health ex-perts are seeing a flicker of good news: The second surge of con-firmed cases appears to be leveling off.

Scientists aren’t celebrating by any means, warning that the trend is driven by four big, hard-hit places — Arizona, California, Florida and Texas — and that cases are rising in close to 30 states in all, with the out-break’s center of gravity seemingly shifting from the Sun Belt toward the Midwest.

Some experts wonder whether the apparent caseload improve-ments will endure. It’s also not clear when deaths will start coming down. COVID-19 deaths do not move in perfect lockstep with the infection curve, for the simple reason that it can take weeks to get sick and die from the virus.

The future? “I think it’s very diffi-cult to predict,” said Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government’s foremost infectious-disease expert.

The virus has claimed over 150,000 lives in the U.S., by far the highest death toll in the world, plus more than a half-million others around the globe.

Over the past week, the average number of deaths per day in the U.S. has climbed more than 25%, from 843 to 1,057. Florida on Thursday re-ported 253 more deaths, setting its third straight single-day record. The number of confirmed infections na-tionwide has topped 4.4 million.

In other developments:n The collateral damage from the

virus mounted, with the U.S. econ-omy shrinking at a dizzying 32.9% annual rate in the April-June quar-ter — by far the worst quarterly plunge on records dating to 1947. And more than 1.4 million laid-off Americans applied for un-employment benefits last week, fur-ther evidence that employers are still shedding jobs five months into

the crisis.n Amid the outbreak and the bad

economic news, President Donald Trump for the first time publicly floated the idea of delaying the Nov. 3 presidential election, warn-ing without evidence that increased mail-in voting will result in fraud. Changing Election Day would re-quire an act of Congress, and the notion ran into immediate resis-tance from top Republicans and Democrats alike.

n Herman Cain, the former pizza-chain CEO who in 2012 unsuc-cessfully sought to become the first Black candidate to win the Republi-can nomination for president, died of complications from the virus at 74.

Based on a seven-day rolling aver-age, daily cases of the coronavirus in the U.S. fell from 67,317 on July 22 to 65,266 on Wednesday, according to data kept by Johns Hopkins Uni-versity. That is a decline of about 3%.

Researchers prefer to see two weeks of data pointing in the same direction to say whether a trend is genuine. “But I think it is real, yes,” said Ira Longini, a University of Florida biostatistician who has been tracking the coronavirus and has been a source of disease fore-casts used by the government.

The Associated Press found the seven-day rolling average for new cases plateaued over two weeks in California and decreased in

Arizona, Florida and Texas.The trends in Arizona, Texas and

Florida are “starting to bend the curve a bit,” said Jennifer Nuzzo, a Johns Hopkins public health re-searcher. Those states, along with California, have been pouring large numbers of cases each day into the national tally. So when those places make progress, the whole country looks better, she said.

Also, in another possible glimmer of hope, the percentage of tests that are coming back positive for the virus across the U.S. dropped from an average of 8.5% to 7.8% over the past week.

But with the outbreak heating up in the Midwest, Democratic Wiscon-sin Gov. Tony Evers ordered masks be worn statewide because of a spike in cases, joining some 30 other states that have taken such measures.

The latest surge in cases became evident in June, weeks after states began reopening following a deadly explosion of cases in and around New York City in the early spring. Daily case counts rose to 70,000 or more earlier this month. Deaths, too, began to climb sharply, after a lag of a few weeks.

Some researchers believe that the recent leveling-off is the result of more people embracing social dis-tancing and other precautions.

“I think a lot of it is people wear-ing masks because they’re scared,” Longini said.

S lowly, cautiously, we are beginning to see more events being planned. And although some may end up being postponed if the rate of coronavirus

in Florida does not get better, we will try to keep you updated on what we know is happening.

Then, nowCitrus County: Then and Now, an exhibit at the Old

Courthouse Heritage Museum, will be unveiled Aug. 6. From May 2019 to December 2019, participants in the Neighborhood Snapshots photography program cap-tured places and structures around the county.

The new and old photos are displayed for a then-and-now perspective.

A live Coffee and Conversations lecture with Dr. Peggy Macdonald of the Matheson Museum in Gaines-ville will also be offered that day. Macdonald will talk about the pioneer women of Florida.

The gallery will open from 5-7 p.m. for viewing the photography display, and Dr. Macdonald’s program will run from 7-7:45 p.m. with a short question-and- answer session afterwards.

Special to the Chronicle

Due to continuing concerns for the health and safety of NCCB mu-sicians and audiences, the Nature Coast Community Band is delaying the start of the 2020-21 season.

All rehearsals are canceled until further notice. In addition, the Oct. 26 and 27 Veterans Apprecia-tion Concerts and the Nov. 11 Vet-erans Memorial Service Concerts are canceled.

Conductor Craig Lilly is hopeful

that rehearsals can resume in time for the Dec. 14 and 15 Holiday Concerts.

With COVID-19 cases continuing to rise in Florida, the NCCB Board of Directors does not believe re-hearsal can safely resume, re-ported Susan Mahoney, public relations director of the NCCB.

Mahoney noted that with over 90 NCCB musicians and audiences of 500 to 1,000 people, NCCB rehears-als and concerts far exceed cur-rent recommended group

gathering guidelines. NCCB re-hearsal and concert venues do not allow for adequate social distanc-ing of 6 feet.

“The NCCB appreciates every-one’s understanding of these can-cellations during this difficult time,” Mahoney said. “Please check the NCCB website at www.naturecoastcommunityband.com and further announcements in the Chronicle for updated information as to when our rehearsals and con-certs will resume.”

Jim DaviSSpecial to the Chronicle

If you have not been fortunate enough to enjoy a keyboard performance of Sally Smith- Adams, a quick sketch of this

musical ball of fire’s personality is in order. The lady exudes a pixie- like quality; filled with joie de vivre.

There is a welcoming, joyful twinkle in her eyes and a disarming smile that slices through the stuffiest listener. All before she places a finger on the keyboard.

“We had this big ol’ upright piano in the house and a special cabinet just for music. I started taking les-sons about age 6. I loved it, but my teacher moved and lessons stopped, but I had learned to read music enough that I kept playing,” says Sally.

Born and raised in upstate New York, she was a music major at the University of Buffalo, but left in her third year after being told by the dean of music that playing in local clubs was considered “inappro-priate” for one of their female music students.

“I’ve probably played almost every kind of gig from ski lodge singalongs, to wedding bands, piano bars, hotel lounge bands, show bands, jazz trios, jazz

festivals, blues festival bands, Caribbean festival bands, theater bands, big swing bands,” she says.

She caught the tail-end of the “Borscht Belt” resort era in the Catskill Mountains outside New York City. She eventually became the piano conductor/leader of the show band at the then world-famous Grossinger’s Resort, performing a different show six nights a week in their thousand-seat night club.

Before returning to the mainland here in Citrus County, Smith-Adams spent almost 15 years in the U.S. Virgin Islands, living and working on St. Thomas, St. John and St. Croix.

She recalls the faces of the local St. Thomas drum-mer and bass player on one of her first gigs there.

“I was brought on the gig by the singer who intro-duced me, “This is Sally,” he said, “she’s the keyboard player tonight. They very unenthusiastically nodded hello. Then we played the first tune and we all smiled happily! Music transcends. They are still my friends.”

Before she left the Virgin Islands the governor made a proclamation making July 12, 2009, officially “Sally Smith Day.” And it is the quality of music which Sally performs that transcend cultures, races, sexes and religious denominations.

“There is a communal part of music for which I’m so grateful,” Sally says. “There are people in this world who I would never been able to connect with except for music. There were times that were difficult at first because the male musicians were very preju-diced against female musicians, but grudgingly they got over it once I proved I could do the gig.”

If you study action photos of top tennis players, you will see that their eyes are rarely looking di-rectly at the ball. Is this because the rebound of the ball after being hit by the racket is too quick for the eye to follow?

Good bridge players occasionally take their eyes off the ball too. Let’s end the week with a couple of ex-amples. Against South’s four-spade contract, West led the diamond ace

and continued with a low diamond when his partner signaled enthusi-astically with the jack. The expert South tried dummy’s queen, but East covered with the king, and de-clarer ruffed. How should he have continued?

When a defender has four trumps, it is usually right to try to force declarer to ruff something, in the hope that he will lose trump control. But on this deal, at dou-ble-dummy (everyone could have seen all of the cards), West’s only winning lead was his singleton heart.

South cashed the club ace, ruffed a club in the dummy and played a trump. True, if the spades had split 2-2 or 3-1, he would have been fine. Here, though, West won with his spade ace and returned the spade 10. Declarer took another round of trumps, then tried to cash some hearts. West ruffed the second round and led a club to his part-ner’s king: down one.

After the club ruff, South should have crossed to hand with a heart and ruffed his last club before touching trumps. Even if a de-fender could have won with the spade ace and given his partner a heart ruff, the contract would have been safe.

Ruff those losers in the dummy.

8 p.m. on (DISNEY)

Movie: Upside-Down MagicAdapted from a popular chil-dren’s book series, this new fantasy movie follows the ad-ventures of 13-year-old Nory Boxwood Horace (Izabela Rose, “Amazing Stories”) and her best friend, Reina Carvajal (Siena Agudong, “No Good Nick”) as they enter the Sage Academy for Magical Studies.

Almost immediately, Reina shines in her studies, but No-ry’s wonky spellcasting, and tendency to turn herself into a creature that’s half-drag-on, half-kitten, land her in a special class for those with upside-down magic. Kyle Howard, Max Torina and Vic-ki Lewis also star.

8 p.m. on (FREEFORM)

Movie: The Blind SideA true story that had a major box-office impact, this 2009 drama from director-screen-writer John Lee Hancock (“The Rookie”) became an Academy Award contend-er for best picture and also brought Sandra Bullock an Oscar as best actress. She and country-music star Tim McGraw play a Southern couple who take in troubled youth Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron) and give him the op-portunity to become a football standout. Kathy Bates co-stars.

8 p.m. on (MAX)Movie: Human Capital

Screenwriter Oren Mover-man (“The Dinner”) adapted a novel by Stephen Amidon for director Marc Meyers’ mercilessly nasty 2019 drama about life among the rich and soulless. Peter Sarsgaard stars as hedge-fund manager Quint Manning, who suffers a seri-ous downturn in his fortunes, yet characteristically manages to pass along the sharpest pain to those below him on the financial food chain. The exceptional cast also includes Liev Schreiber, Marisa To-mei, Maya Hawke (“Stranger Things”) and Alex Wolff (“Hereditary”).

8 p.m. on (SHOW)Movie: Ex Machina

Writer-director Alex Gar-land’s critically acclaimed 2014 psychological thriller stars Domhnall Gleeson as Caleb Smith, a gifted young coder at the world’s largest in-ternet company, who is tasked with participating in an exper-iment designed to evaluate a

beautiful female robot known as Ava (Alicia Vikander). Specifically, during his inter-actions with her, Caleb must determine whether this AI unit is capable of real thought and consciousness. However, it soon becomes evident that Ava is far more self-aware and deceptive than either Ca-leb or his boss (Oscar Isaac) ever imagined.

10 p.m. on (HBO)Real Time With Bill Maher

Award-winning talk show host Bill Maher returns from his summer hiatus to resume interviews with guests on a variety of current topics, many of them likely relating in some form or fashion to the ongoing campaigns of incum-bent President Donald Trump and his Democratic challeng-er, former Vice President Joe Biden, roughly three months before the Nov. 3, 2020, general election. Other topics probably will include the on-going coronavirus pandemic and the economic carnage it has caused around the globe.

MORE PUZZLESn Find the daily crossword puzzle inside the Chronicle’s

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

Dear Annie: What is the protocol when a dear friend repeatedly uses

an incorrect word or incor-rectly pronounces something when speaking to you? For in-stance, recently, my friend was speaking of the proper “proto-col” for visiting a doctor’s of-fice (under these pandemic conditions), but she said “por-tacol,” which is not a word. It was not a slip of the t o n g u e , because she re-p e a t e d the word s e v e r a l t i m e s through-out the conversa-t i o n . Since we w e r e t a l k i n g directly, and no one else was present, should I have asked something like, “Do you mean protocol?”

Other times, my friend has referred to “postate” problems of relatives. How do you po-litely correct someone in this type of situation? Or during these trying times, do I just chill out and get a life and not sweat the small stuff? — Won-dering in Anywhere, USA

Dear Wondering: In general, the answer depends on the friend — whether they’re more likely to be appreciative or an-noyed. Personally, I’d be grate-ful if a friend corrected me to spare me future embarrass-ment. A good friend tells you when you’ve got something in your teeth.

But in this specific case, it’s notable that both the words your friend mispronounced begin the same way. That sug-gests a speech impairment, in which case it wouldn’t be help-ful to call attention to it. So take your own advice, and don’t sweat the small stuff.

Dear Annie: Another spring sports season is here, and an-other knot is taking hold in my stomach. A friend of mine in-troduced me to an older adult friend of hers, “Greg.”

He doesn’t have much fam-ily except for one relative who lives a couple of towns away. Greg used to visit this relative quite often but hardly does anymore because this relative is busy with children. Since then, Greg has worked his way into our lives, inviting himself to every sports event our chil-dren have. He wants to know when all of their practices and games are, shows up early at our house to ride with us and spends the whole day — al-most every weekend — with us.

Greg is a nice guy but doesn’t know when to give my family space. We try our best to in-clude him in these events, but he doesn’t know when to leave, and he stays way past the time everyone else has left. While we’re at the games, he talks negatively about everyone and doesn’t stop. I’ve told him I don’t want to hear it anymore. It gets better for a little while, and then it starts up again. It really ruins being at the games and watching my children play.

I’m sure my children can feel my stress, and it’s making game day less fun. I would like to just go and enjoy their games and not feel this sense of obligation of letting Greg know our schedule, needing to always include him and being his sounding board. It’s really starting to get on my nerves. He has been good to my chil-dren, but I am resenting this intrusion in our lives. —Trapped

Dear Trapped: It’s time for a timeout. Let Greg know you and the kids consider him a good friend, but you’d like some Saturdays with just the family. If you’re nervous, imag-ine if the tables were turned:

Would you get angry with a friend for saying he’d like some quality time with his family? I think you’d be morti-fied that he even had to ask. So don’t let guilt hold you back.

And you might suggest Greg get involved with a sport him-self since he has such a pas-sion for athletics. The outlet to exercise and socialize would boost his mood (and take some pressure off you).

It is interesting how an occurrence, a pan-demic or other hap-

pening, can upset the entire Earth’s population.

The adverse effects of the current virus misses no corner of scheduled activity agendas. And that includes the schedule of the Citrus Watercolor So-ciety (CWS), as well as all other art organizations.

Many of these organiza-tions have turned to the internet to present virtual workshops and painting demonstrations to fill the void.

I can tell from feedback that I get from general readership of this monthly column, that there is wide interest in

watercolor art on the Na-ture Coast.

With all this in mind, let me recommend a source of information for artists and art lovers alike, that can be accessed during this difficult period. And that is the website of the Citrus Watercolor Society — www.citruswatercolor society.org .

Once the website is ac-cessed, click on the Gal-leries tab and go to the Member Gallery to see ex-amples of watercolor art generated by CWS artists. Next, select the Painting of the Month tab to access watercolor art that has been chosen each month by CWS members.

Need to see more

watercolor art? Then click on Member Web Sites for a wide selection of outstanding artwork.

Perhaps you have a deep-seeded interest in painting, but have never given that in-terest an op-portunity to flourish. Re-view the upcoming demonstrations and work-shops scheduled — if you are inclined to give it a whirl, nonmembers can attend CWS monthly demonstrations at a cost of $5.

Then, should you decide to get further in-volved, be brave: It is like going to school again — look for a beginners program at the Art Center or one of the local galleries. If you are dabbling with watercolor paints beyond the beginner

stage, enroll in a workshop.

One does not have to be

an accomplished artist to join the CWS. If you have an interest in watercolor art, opportunities exist in the CWS agendas to sat-isfy your needs.

Members of the Citrus Watercolor Society enjoy a “Painting of the Month” competition starting in October and November, January, February, March and April. They have op-portunities to show and sell their work, take work-shops and participate in monthly sketch/paint-outs, etc.

For more information

about the meeting, or to become a member, call Marie Sloan at 352-322-0002 or Darla Goldberg at 352- 341-6226, or visit at www.citruswatercolorso-ciety.org.

The Citrus Watercolor Society meets at noon the second Friday of every month, except July, at the Family Center of First Christian Church of In-verness, 2018 Colonade St., Inverness.

Until COVID-19 caused darkened music venues, Sally could be heard around the state on weekends or accom-panying the Citrus County Community Choir under Jackie Doxey Scott and, later Karen Medrano, or playing gigs with Cit-rus percussionist David Morgan and the late saxophonist Tom Leonard in his combo.

She’s also provided atmosphere for pri-vate gatherings and fundraisers, played for three Art Center Theatre musical pro-ductions and been the featured artist for the Music at the Museum Women in Jazz series at the Old Courthouse in Inverness and is music director at Nature Coast Unitarian Universalists Fellowship.

If there is an upside to the pandemic, it has given Sally Smith-Adams the

opportunity to listen to music via wonder-ful online concerts. And like most of us, it has afforded her time to complete all those little repairs and chores around the house.

When the lights come back on and Sally Smith-Adams is on the bill, you just need to hear her.

“On a strictly personal level, I feel music has provided me with the means for most of my mental, emotional, intel-lectual and social development,” she says.

Recent neurological research has proven that music stimulates almost all areas of the brain, she asserts, and a child who learns to play a musical instru-ment usually learns other skills like math and reading more easily.

“I consider myself a journeyman musi-cian,” she says, “I’m not a master musi-cian. I’m still learning and working on my craft and I’ve had a wonderful time doing it.”
