BATES Chronicle Reporter A massive residential-re tail complex that would stretch from County Road 491 to State Road 44 is be ing proposed for Lecanto. Or, more accurately, it is a variation on a previously submitted application sent to the county in July. Think of it as an expansion of the Crystal Glen subdivision. To be called Lecanto Pre serve, the new planned use development would have 30-plus acres of retail stores and outparcels (including an anchor store and a big-box) along with 930-plus of resi dential, including single-fam ily homes and townhomes. The complex will be locat ed just south of State Road 44 and County Road 491, with a signalized entrance on the west side of C.R. 491, just past the RaceTrac. It will then wrap around and come out near a new road near South Crystal Glen Drive. That road, by the Dollar General, would have a trafc light. In its marketing materi al, Southeast Centers, the development company, is touting Lecanto Preserve’s proximity to the Suncoast Parkway interchange at State Road 44. Citrus County Land De velopment Division Di rector Joanna Coutu, in an email to the Chronicle, said the ordinance for Lecanto Preserve was adopted last July for up to 610 residen tial units (single-family and townhome). The devel oper has not submitted any platting for the subdi vision, which would be the next step, she said. County Commission Chairwoman Ruthie Schla bach said the expansion of the Suncoast Parkway is driving this. “It is not a surprise because we only have so much land in Florida and we have so much land in Citrus County that is very affordable,” she told the Chronicle. Would it be a t for Le canto? “It depends on what you’re looking for,” Schla bach said. “If you’re look ing for no development, then no. If you’re looking for a walkable community Lecanto Preserve would contain 930-plus homes and townhomes SCHLABACHHemp cuisine comes to Citrus County By NANCY KENNEDY Chronicle Reporter Rebekah Potter had an idea. Hemp Pantry, the busi ness she co-owns with her husband, William, and their two sons, Steven and Jer emy, and two daughters-in-law, sells, among other hemp products, edibles. Edibles are food items, like candies or brownies, in fused with CBD (cannabidi ol) or Delta 8 THC derived from the cannabis hemp plant. Neither derivative gets you “high” like the THC in marijuana does. Potter said she wanted to do something more with ed ibles, something different, something that would get people to sit up and take no tice, and even drive a couple hours from across the state to partake. “I researched different edibles and what we could do with our cannabis hemp products, and baked goods were in the top 3 percent of what customers enjoy. So, I started off with a vision of a bakery,” she said, which became the Canna Bakery. Through more research, she learned about places in Amsterdam, cafés and cof fee shops where people can legally buy and smoke weed or hash or eat “space cakes,” cakes or sweets that are in fused with cannabis. “We started off thinking we would be just a bakery, but we don’t do just baked goods,” Potter said. “So, we said, why not make it like a restaurant and offer a vari ety of things – small bites, non-alcoholic drinks that are infused with cannabis, sweets and savory items? “So, I’m doing things like banana bread French toast, peach cobbler wafes, lasa gna bites and Swiss cheese fondue,” she said. “I’ve enjoyed cooking from the time I was 5, and I get great joy watching people eat my food.” As Potter explained, when cannabis is ingested, the ef fects last longer. Some of the effects of CBD include: it may relieve Photos by Matthew Beck / Chronicle photo editor U.S. Marine veteran Steven Potter has opened Canna Bakery with others in his family. Potter says he deals with PTSD and the use of hemp products has made coping with the disorder more manageable. “It will just take that edge off,” Potter said. “That edge is taken down, you’re calm and feel normal.”Canna Bakery Shop in Inverness turning edibles into cuisine Canna Bakery offers a vari ety of small-bite options like this Buffalo chicken dip with French bread. A Green God dess drink option is similar to an apple martini, according to the owners. As with the other food and drink items on the menu, these offerings can be ordered infused with CBD or Delta 8 THC or without infusion.

An attorney for Dominion said the settlement was for $787.5 mil lion. “The truth matters. Lies have consequences,” said Dominion lawyer Justin Nelson in a news conference outside the courthouse after the announcement. Dominion had asked for $1.6 billion in arguing that Fox had damaged its reputation by helping peddle phony conspiracy theories about its equipment switching votes from former President Don ald Trump to Democrat Joe Biden. Fox said the amount greatly over stated the value of the Colora do-based company. The resolution announced in Delaware Superior Court follows a recent summary judgment rul ing by Judge Eric Davis in which he allowed the case to go to trial A protester holds a sign near rep resentatives of Fox News outside the justice center for the Dominion Voting Systems’ defamation law suit against Fox News on Tuesday in Wilmington, Del.Julio Cortez / AP See COMPLEX , page A4 See BAKERY , page A4 See FOX , page A4

No bond.Hitting home runsNow they’re saying that due to climate change, there are more home runs being hit in baseball than ever before. Climate change affects home runs in baseball? You’ve got to be kidding me.Artificial stupidityA lot is being said today about articial intelli-gence. Well, in the world today, for every plus there is a minus, for every yes there is a no, for every good there is a bad. And the reverse for articial intelligence is articial stu-pidity, and it can be found in the White House, they call it Joe.The audacity of it allWhile the U.S. is burning, our president is vacation-ing in Ireland and has the audacity to even take his family with them on the U.S. dime. What a shame. I’m not sure why we permit things like this. What a shame.Show us the papersI would like to see the county commissioners show us in the paper the electric company or air conditioning company that’s going to be doing this work. $98,000? What are they doing? I’ve worked for two air conditioning com-panies here in Citrus Coun-ty. Nowhere would even come to $5,000. Who’s padding the pockets? Show us the invoice and the insurance company that gave them the bid. That’s what the public needs to see with our tax. Somebody’s getting rich.Sure, brush it under the rugIt’s pretty funny somebody saying Trump’s a strong leader and he had a couple personal problems with women but no big deal, despite the fact one of the affairs was just a couple months after his last son was born. And he’s got an indict-ment, no big deal. Just brush it under the rug because all the other lead-ers of countries respected him. They didn’t. What was the gathering about the climate where they were all laughing at him, and he left in embarrassment? If you could just put those indictments under the rug and all his affairs, he’s a pretty good guy then.Intersection is a nightmareThe intersection at County Roads 486 and 491 is a nightmare now. This will be unbearable when all these stores are built. I ha-ven’t a clue what it’s going to be like.Take a look at TrumpWhat an ugly day in the Sound Offs. “We’re going down the tubes fast” and blames the Democrats and goes on and on about how satanic we are, how terri-ble we are. You also had “knuckle dragging, cousin kissing.” That’s not a very nice Sound Off. Talking about Democrats being just terrible people and anti-re-ligious. You know what, I was born and raised Cath-olic in a very, very Demo-cratic community and we were all good people. You better take a look at Trump. He’s the one that’s broken a lot of laws. He’s the one that’s done a lot of horri-ble things. Do you even hear what’s coming out of his mouth? It’s terrible. Anyway, “China seems pleased” about Biden and $3 million, I have no idea about that, but, boy, I just love the way the far-right is twisting everything. And I’m surprised at the Chron-icle printing this.We should listen moreRegarding “We’re going down the tube fast,” they quoted “all that is neces-sary for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing.” That happened to be a Democrat saying that regarding gun control. I bet this person doesn’t even listen to most everything that’s on both sides. That’s the problem these days, people don’t listen to one another.Repave the roadsIn regard to the tourist tax money, half of that money should go towards street repaving in Citrus County since the tourists are help-ing to wear out these roads.Solve natural stupidityAfter reading the Sound Off “Beware war with China,” I’m reminded of the remark I saw on Face-book that stated, “Instead of trying to solve articial intelligence, we should try to solve natural stupidity.” Wow, does that apply to the “Beware war with China.”We don’t need another campgroundOzello was ooded by the no-name storm in 1993. The whole area was underwater. A lot of people living in Ozello now won’t remember the mobile home park at Pirate’s Cove. All the trailers were completely damaged, and the park was closed. An RV parked there was rolled and tossed about in the water. People inside had to be pulled from the top of the RV. The roads cannot accommodate easy exit. The roads are narrow and winding, making it hard in normal weather to make the turns. God only knows when another storm will occur. We don’t need another campground in Ozello. Lives could be lost.Show us the monkey moneyAll these letters and peo ple calling about Monkey Island, but they keep danc ing around one important fact: Where is the money? We’re talking pretty soon to be $400,000. They spent about $3,000 on the island, and I’m sure they can get a waiver for the air conditioning. What monkey in the wild has an air-conditioned house? None. They say they deed ed it over to this trust fund for the monkeys. Well, why did they do that? Who is in charge of this trust fund? Could it be one of their buddy attorneys? Could it be the attorney is making a ton of money collecting a fee to manage the trust? Commissioners need to get some gures, some answers before they start giving away our dollars.My two cents about monkeysThis is about Monkey Is land. Sounds like our county commissioners are willing to spend $98,000 to clean up their living arrangements, that’s just ne, but my beef is that we only can see them if we go to one restaurant. That doesn’t seem fair. If this is going to be a countyfunded operation and coun ty-funded tourist thing, then we need access from more than just a restaurant where we have to pay to eat so that we can see them. That’s my two cents.Biden should be concernedIt has been disclosed that a young Air Force traitor has been broadcasting top secret information to the world. Biden says he’s not concerned. Well, he should be because if this youngster is giving information for free, communist China’s going to stop paying Biden for giving it to them like that $3 million payment.Elect leaders who share our valuesIf you’re unhappy with the out-of-control growth in Citrus County, we need to vote in county com-missioners who share our values. Remember, the Planning and Development Board, who many think are destroying our coun-ty, are appointed by our county commissioners who evidently share the same values. If we want to stop Citrus County from becom-ing Port Richey North, we need commissioners who share our values.I support Ozello residentsAs a resident of the Lecanto/Hernando area of Citrus County, I support the residents of Ozello in expressing my opposition to the RV development. I am not related to anybody that lives there, nor do I know anybody who lives in Ozello, but please leave it as is.Who’s going to teach the monkeys?I got a question for our county commissioners about this new Monkey Island air conditioning. One, is the county going to pay the light bill or does the restaurant have to pay the bill? Two, who’s going to teach the monkeys how to open and close the door to keep the air in, or is it going to constantly run? That’s the question there. Who’s going to open the door, who’s going to close it and who’s going to teach them?Use your turn signalI asked my Florida friend why he does not use his turn signal. He replied, “It’s nobody’s business where I’m going.” Okay.Leave us aloneThis is just to say, in Friday’s paper about “East Citrus County is going to feel the love of tourists.” I don’t need that kind of love. We don’t want any more tourists. I am so tired of all the growth and all this cramming down new people, new businesses. We don’t need any more love over here. Leave us alone.

BATES Chronicle Reporter Some Ozello residents are worried the county is about to amend its land develop ment code to make it easier for a developer to build an RV park and campground on a 16-acre waterfront parcel off South Fishcreek Point. Residents have been op posed to the project because it would bring congestion, disrupt the pristine nature of the community and destroy wetlands. “Citrus County is at a crucial stage right now, re lated to rapid growth and increased development,” said Ozello resident Rob ert Evans. “If any of these changes are designed to make it easier for develop ers to get approval for their projects, I think a majori ty of the public would be pretty outraged, to say the least.” But Citrus County Land Development Division Di rector Joanna Coutu said there is no such intent and the proposed amendments are mostly for clarity. The Citrus County Plan ning and Development Commission (PDC) will meet May 4 to consider the ordinance amendment. One of the proposals is to amend the section pertain ing to “low-intensity coastal and lakes district,” and that is the one that has Ozello residents worried because the RV park under consid eration in Ozello is in that district. Specically, the amend ed ordinance would allow higher density develop ments in coastal areas pro viding they meet several criteria. County commissioners had previously placed wa terfront setbacks on their outstanding items list, “and staff wanted to get these changes done as well for simplicity,” Coutu said. And even if adopted, she said, the amendments “could not back-date” exist ing applications, such as the RV park proposal. Due to signicant revi sions to the project’s mas ter plan, the Fishcreek Glampground RV Park’s application to county com missioners was pulled from the April 25 regular meeting agenda. After scores of resident complaints, the developer toned down the intensity of the project, which would now include 32 RV sites, 16 glampsites (luxury sites) and 20 primitive (tradition al) campsites. The PDC meets at 9 a.m. May 4 in Room 166 of the Lecanto Government Build ing, 3600 W. Sovereign Path. Michael D. Bates is a staff writer with the Citrus County Chronicle and can be reached at mbates@chronicleonline.com.Land development director said aim is to simplify and clarify Matthew Beck / Chronicle photo editor Many residents in Ozello have signs similar to these in their yards opposing changes in zoning and land use in the community.Inverness woman faces mounting series of criminal charges By FRED HIERS Chronicle Reporter An Inverness woman’s felony grand theft case from January went from bad to worse when she was again arrested this month and charged with tampering with a witness and then re sisting an ofcer with vio lence and battery. In January of this year, Robin Jo anna Bell, 57, was ar rested and charged with grand theft of property, a semitrail er, valued at $100,000 or more and relat ed forgery charges, accord ing the court records. Her bond was $35,000. On April 16, Citrus Coun ty Sheriff’s Ofce deputies again went to arrest Bell fol lowing a warrant and charges that she tampered with a witness or victim of a pre vious crime. That tampering charge was a misdemeanor. According to arrest re cords, when deputies con fronted Bell at her home and handcuffed her, Bell “threw herself down on the ground as if a child throw ing a temper tantrum,” the deputies reported. The arresting deputy re ported that the second dep uty walking Bell to one of the patrol cars had to pick her up several times and put her back on her feet. During one of the drops, Bell “donkey kicked” back ward and hit the escorting deputy in the leg. The ar resting deputy reported that when they told her that she now faced batter charges on a law enforcement ofcer, she replied “I don’t give a (exple tive),” according to records. She immediately then again threw herself onto the ground resisting the deputies. Following the kick and continued resistance, both deputies picked up bell and took her to one of the two waiting patrol cars. When the deputies ordered her inside the vehicles, she instead kicked the deputy again on the right leg, ac cording to records. The arresting depu ty reported that Bell kept screaming that the two dep uties did not have a warrant to arrest her. The arresting deputy charged her with resisting a law enforcement ofcer with violence and battery on a law enforcement ofcer. Her bond was set at $10,000. On April 17, the court re voked her bond. Her attorney is now re questing that the court again set bond, citing her roots in the community and that she plans to continue living in the county. Fred Hiers is a reporter at the Citrus Chronicle.

According to the arrest re cords for Joshua Michael Wilson, 19, the arresting deputy on April 15 was dis patched to a Hernando home about the theft of a metallic blue Club Car golf cart. The owner of the golf cart told the arresting deputy the golf card was stolen between April 14 and April 15. According to records, the victim gave the depu ty a photo of the golf cart, which the deputy distribut ed through agency email. The cart had after-market blue trimmed all terrain tires and blue and white alli gator skin seats. Surveillance cameras showed two men pushing the cart off the owner’s property. The arresting deputy re ported that another Citrus County Sheriff’s Ofce deputy spoke with area res idents and because of those discussions found the golf cart on East Buckskin Lane in Hernando. That second deputy identi ed one of the two men on the surveillance footage as Jason Roe, who was arrest ed. On April 16, the depu ty found the second person of interest, Michael Joshua Wilson, and arrested. He was charged with grand theft. The deputy reported that Wilson admitted to his part in taking the golf cart and moving it to East Buckskin Lane. Wilson was taken to the Citrus County jail. His bond was $2,000.

Effects of Delta 8 THC include feelings of eupho-ria, relaxation, and potential pain relief, but much milder than the Delta 9 THC that’s in marijuana. “We have a dosing chart that explains the milli-grams and what to expect whether you are a rst-time or an experienced consumer,” Potter said. “We’ve had cancer pa-tients that may not be able to eat because of chemo, and they come here and have a meal, and what they’re eating is helping with their nausea, and they have a sense of ‘normalcy’ while they’re here.” The Canna Bakery, in the same plaza on U.S. 41 in In-verness as Hemp Pantry, is located in the space that was Lynn’s Ice Cream. When you walk inside the front door, you know you’re somewhere that’s different. First of all, there are no glass bakery cases. Instead, it looks like a restaurant with a bar area, “budtenders” be-hind the bar to make a Mary-rita or another specialty drink made with no-alcohol vodka or other “spiritless” spirit. Some of the menu items are already infused and some are “regular” with the option of adding CBD or Delta 8 THC. “We want this to be a place where anyone can come and feel welcome, as long as they’re 21 or older,” Potter said. She said so far since they opened at the end of March, a good percentage of their clientele has been baby boomers and also people in their 20s who don’t want to go to bars and drink alcohol. Another draw is Potter’s son, Steven, a Marine veter-an who experiences PTSD. “He has a way of connecting with other veterans, and they open up on a whole other level with him,” Potter said. “He’s here and he talks to them and they trust him. “With the pantry and now with Canna Bakery, it’s all about helping people,” Pot-ter said. “I just want every-body to have a place.” The Canna Bakery is at 2028 Hwy. 44 W., Inver-ness, FL 34453.

In a statement issued shortly after the announce-ment, Fox News said the network acknowledged “the court’s rulings nding certain claims about Do-minion to be false.” It did not respond to an inquiry asking for elaboration. Inquiries to Dominion and Fox Corp. were not imme-diately returned. Records released as part of the lawsuit showed how Fox hosts and executives did not believe the claims by Trump’s allies but aired them anyway, in part to win back viewers who were eeing the network after it correctly called hotly con-tested Arizona for Demo-crat Joe Biden on election night. The settlement, if formally accepted by the judge, will end a case that has proven a major embarrass-ment for Fox News. If the case had gone to trial, it also would have present-ed one of the sternest tests to a libel standard that has protected media organiza-tions for more than half a century. Several First Amendment experts had said Domin-ion’s case was among the strongest they had ever seen. Still, there was real doubt about whether Do-minion would be able to prove to a jury that people in a decision-making capac-ity at Fox could be held re-sponsible for the network’s airing of the falsehoods. Dominion accused Fox of defaming it by repeatedly airing, in the weeks after the 2020 presidential election, false allegations by Trump allies that its machines and the software they used had ipped votes to Biden – even as many at the net-work doubted the claims and disparaged those who were making them. The company sued both Fox News and its parent, Fox Corp., and said its busi-ness had been signi cantly damaged. During a deposition, Fox Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch, who founded the network, testi ed that he believed the 2020 election was fair and had not been stolen from Trump. “Fox knew the truth,” Dominion argued in court papers. “It knew the al-legations against Domin-ion were ‘outlandish’ and ‘crazy’ and ‘ludicrous’ and ‘nuts.’ Yet it used the pow-er and in uence of its plat-form to promote that false story.” In his March 31 summary judgment ruling, Davis pointedly called out the news organization for air-ing falsehoods while not-ing how the bogus election claims persist, 2 1/2 years after Trump lost his bid for reelection. “The statements at issue were dramatically different than the truth,” Davis said in that ruling. “In fact, although it cannot be attributed di-rectly to Fox’s statements, it is noteworthy that some Americans still believe the election was rigged.” In its defense, Fox said it was obligated to report on the most newsworthy of stories – a president claim-ing that he had been cheat-ed out of reelection. “We never reported those to be true,” Fox lawyer Erin Murphy said. “All we ever did was provide viewers the true fact that these were allegations that were being made.” Fox said Dominion had argued that the network was obligated to suppress the al-legations or denounce them as false. “Freedom of speech and of the press would be illu-sory if the prevailing side in a public controversy could sue the press for giving a forum to the losing side,” Fox said in court papers.

The band said Sheehan died in a hospital on Fri day after a brief illness. In a statement, The Script called him a “much loved hus band, father, brother, band mate and friend.” Formed in Dublin in 2001 by Sheehan, singer Danny O’Donoghue and drummer Glen Power, The Script topped U.K. and Irish charts with its self-titled debut al bum in 2008. It included the hits “We Cry,” “Breakeven” and “The Man Who Can’t Be Moved,” which reached No. 1 in ve countries. The band’s pop-inected rock sound made it one of Ireland’s biggest bands in the 2010s. The Script went on to have six Top 10 al bums in the U.K. and one top three album in the U.S. Irish President Michael D. Higgins praised the band’s “originality and excellence” and sent condolences to Sheehan’s family. “Through their music, Mark and The Script have played an outstanding part in continuing and promot ing this proud tradition of Irish musical success across the world,” Higgins said.

Bar wick’s attorneys argued his due-process rights were vi olated. “Mr. Barwick was al lowed to make a written submission and to appear in person for an interview with representatives of the clemency board,” Hinkle wrote. “In this proceed ing, Mr. Barwick has not alleged he was denied the opportunity to present any information he wished to present. He has alleged no facts suggesting the mem bers of the clemency board made their decision based on anything other than the merits.” Barwick’s attorneys are trying to halt the execution after Gov. Ron DeSantis on April 4 signed a death warrant in the 1986 mur der of Rebecca Wendt. Wendt was found wrapped in a comforter in her Pan ama City apartment and had been stabbed 37 times, according to court docu ments. The federal case, led last week, focuses on a process that involves the Florida Commission on Offender Review con ducting investigations in death-penalty cases and making recommendations to the Board of Executive Clemency, which is made up of DeSantis and mem bers of the state Cabinet. Barwick had a clemen cy interview in 2021, and an attorney subsequently submitted an application to commute the death sen tence, according to a docu ment led last week in fed eral court. The document said DeSantis, in signing the death warrant this month, denied clemency. In the document led last week, Barwick’s attorneys pointed to a “standardless process” that has never led to commuting a death sen tence. “Mr. Barwick’s clemen cy process did not com port with due process,” the attorneys wrote. “The defects in Mr. Barwick’s clemency process rose to the level of coin ipping where both sides of the coin reected: ‘denied.’ This meaningless aspect of the death penalty scheme in Florida has resulted in 40 years without a single grant of mercy for a death sentenced inmate.” ut Hinkle rejected such arguments. “Mr. Barwick says no death-sentenced applicant has been granted clem ency in Florida in the last 40 years,” Hinkle wrote. “Without knowing the facts of the other cases, not much can be said about them. The issue here, though, is what happened in just this one case. In this case, there were facts supporting both sides of the clemency issue. In Mr. Barwick’s favor were sub stantial mitigating circum stances, including that as a child he suffered relent less abuse from his father, he was developmentally delayed, he now has sub stantial mental and psy chological decits, and he apparently has compiled a good record while in cus tody. “On the other side, Mr. Barwick committed this horric crime, and it was not his rst. At least in sofar as shown by this re cord, Mr. Barwick was de nied clemency because the members of the clemency board found the mitigating circumstances insufcient to outweigh the crime and the criminal history.” Meanwhile Tuesday, Barwick’s attorneys led a 77-page brief urging the Florida Supreme Court to stay the execution and re ject the death sentence or order an evidentiary hear ing. The brief cited U.S. Su preme Court precedent that has barred executing people with intellectual disabilities. That is based on Eighth Amendment prohibitions on cruel and unusual punishment. The brief said Barwick has a “severe neuropsycho logical disorder, lifelong cognitive impairments and low mental age.” Among other things, the brief said Barwick suffered trauma before birth, including when his mother fell down stairs. “The in utero trauma se verely damaged Mr. Bar wick’s brain even before he took his rst breath,” the brief said. “As a result, a serious mental illness – neurodevelopmental/neu rocognitive disorder – has pervaded Mr. Barwick’s life.”Barwick, 56, would be the third inmate put to death in Florida by in less than three months HINKLE Richard T.

A6 Wednesday, April 19, 2023 Citrus County ChronicleFederal judge rejects ‘intellectual freedom’ case By JIM SAUNDERS News Service of Florida TALLAHASSEE — A federal judge has tossed out a challenge to a controver sial 2021 Florida law that includes requiring surveys about “intellectual freedom and viewpoint diversity” on state college and university campuses. Chief U.S. District Judge Mark Walker issued a 22-page decision Monday that said plaintiffs, including the United Faculty of Florida union and individual profes sors, did not establish legal standing to challenge the law. The plaintiffs argued, in part, that the law violated First Amend ment rights because it would chill speech. Walker held a trial in January amid broad er debates about attempts by Gov. Ron DeSantis and Republican lawmakers to place additional restrictions on what is taught on college and university campuses and in public schools. In his decision, Walker expressed sympathy for some of the plaintiffs’ arguments but said they did not meet legal tests to show standing. “True, political entities have expressed clear ani mosity to the views plain tiffs seek to express, and the evidence presented at trial demonstrated that the surveys’ design is seriously awed, calling into question the statistical value of their results,” Walker wrote in dismissing the case. “These factors, however, would not cause a reasonable person to infer that they should self-censor now based on how the state may use the results of the surveys in the future.” In addition to requiring annual surveys about “intel lectual freedom and view point diversity,” the law also said schools may not “shield” students and facul ty members from “ideas and opinions that they may nd uncomfortable, unwelcome, disagreeable or offensive.” In addition, it opened the door to lawsuits based on violations of people’s “ex pressive rights” at colleges and universities and allows students to record class lec tures” in connection with a complaint to the public in stitution of higher education where the recording was made, or as evidence in, or in preparation for, a crimi nal or civil proceeding.” To establish standing, the plaintiffs would have need ed to show, in part, that they had suffered an “inju ry-in-fact” that was “trace able” to the defendants. The lawsuit was led against the state education commis sioner, members of the state university system’s Board of Governors and the State Board of Education, which oversees state colleges. Walker dismissed the case “without prejudice,” which means it could be revamped and led again. But he pointed to legal precedent in saying the plaintiffs did not establish standing to challenge the surveys or the other parts of the law. Walker wrote, for exam ple, that the State Board of Education and the Board of Governors did not have en forcement powers over the part of the law dealing with recording class lectures. “The boards’ general su pervisory and enforcement authority is not enough to establish traceability,” he wrote. “The evidence at tri al did not establish that the boards are likely to enforce the recording provision against any individuals. Nor did the evidence establish that the boards have taken any steps to regulate state colleges or universities with respect to enforcement of the recording provision.” Walker has sometimes clashed with the DeSan tis administration and the Legislature in other cases. While he ruled in favor of the state Monday, he also wrote that it “appears to have decided that it is good policy to deputize students and faculty to monitor their peers and inform the gov ernment of the speech and perceived political leanings of their classmates and col leagues.” “This court is sympathetic to the argument that laws like these – which were ap parently designed to chill speech and, though left in tentionally toothless for en forcement purposes, remain hanging over students’ and professors’ heads like the proverbial sword of Damo cles – ought to be enough to challenge their constitution ality,” he wrote. “Nonethe less, plaintiffs’ suggestion that the amorphous threat defendants play by gener ally enforcing state laws trickles down o cause their fears of speculative future punishment fails to estab lish, pursuant to binding precedent, plaintiffs’ stand ing to challenge Florida’s policy choices.”Says plaintiffs did not establish legal standing to challenge the law WALKERFlorida Senate committee backs wide-ranging tax breaks By JIM TURNER News Service of Florida TALLAHASSEE — A Senate committee Tues day moved forward with a package that would provide $973 million in tax breaks next scal year, with pro posals ranging from hold ing tax “holidays” to boosting the thoroughbred horse-racing industry. The Finance and Tax Committee unanimously backed the package (SPB 7062), which is ready to go to the full Senate. The House has proposed a $1.38 billion package, and legislative leaders will ne gotiate a nal tax plan as part of upcoming budget talks. The Senate and House packages are the same or similar on a series of issues, such as holding sales-tax holidays on back-to-school items, hurricane-prepared ness supplies, summer activities and tools. Also, they would lift taxes on items such as adult inconti nence products, gas stoves, Energy Star appliances and renewable natural gas equipment. One difference between the plans is that the Senate bill would provide nan cial benets to the thor oughbred industry, draw ing questions from Sen. Lori Berman, D-Boca Ra ton. “We’re supporting one industry over other indus tries. I think we need to look at how much money we’re going to be putting into that,” Berman said, be fore adding, “But, I’m sure this package will be nego tiated and changed.” Committee Chairman Blaise Ingoglia, R-Spring Hill, said after the meet ing that the thoroughbred industry is operating at a “strategic disadvantage” because of regulations that include a federal law involving anti-doping and medication-control pro grams. The industry plays an important role in areas such as Marion County. “We want to make sure that the equestrian commu nity thrives and continues to be an economic boom for the state,” Ingoglia said. The Senate plan would provide a credit against pari-mutuel taxes and fees paid by thoroughbred tracks, according to a staff analysis. Meanwhile, $5 million would go to the Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association, Inc., for awards to Flori da-bred or Florida-sired horses that participate in races in the state. Anoth er $5 million would go to Tampa Bay Downs and $15 million would go to the Gulfstream Park Racing Association. Other Senate propos als not in the House plan include providing $32.9 million in tax credits on browneld site cleanup projects and $4.1 million in tax exemptions on the purchase of rearm-stor age devices. The House proposal, meanwhile, would lower a commercial-lease tax by 1 percentage point next scal year, a proposal that drew support Tuesday from Sen. Jim Boyd, R-Bradenton. “I hope we’ll continue to do that,” Boyd said. Two years ago, the Leg islature directed the com mercial-lease tax to be reduced to 2 percent when revenue from sales-tax collections on out-of-state retailers replenishes the state’s Unemployment Compensation Trust Fund, which became depleted during the COVID-19 pan demic. A staff analysis of the House bill projected the trust fund would be made full in May 2024. That would lead to the commer cial-lease tax reduction to 2 percent starting Aug. 1, 2024. The House package would reduce the rate from 5.5 percent to 4.5 percent this year, before it would go to 2 percent in 2024. Ingoglia said the com mercial-lease tax will be part of the upcoming nego tiations with the House. “There’s never been an aversion to giving money back to the taxpayer,” In goglia said. “So, it’s just something we have to work out with the House.” The House and Senate bills include two 14-day back-to-school tax hol idays that would allow shoppers to buy such things as clothes and school supplies without paying sales taxes. Those holidays would be held before the fall and spring terms. Also, the state would hold a 14-day holiday in May and June to allow people to buy disaster-pre paredness supplies without paying sales taxes. That period also would include exemptions on certain household items and sup plies for pets. In addition, the state would hold a “Freedom Summer” tax holiday from Memorial Day through Labor Day that would lift sales taxes on certain rec reational gear and outdoor activities, and a seven-day “Tool Time” tax holiday in September for tools and equipment. The House and Senate plans both would provide a sales-tax exemption on adult incontinence prod ucts, which would lead to a projected $25.2 million in savings. Also, they would provide exemptions on baby and toddler products, with the House estimating those savings at $147.9 million and the Senate putting the total at $145.5 million. In lifting taxes on Energy Star appliances, the Senate projects the discount at $79 million, while the House projects $78.1 million.Package would provide $973 million in tax breaks rnnrn n rn rrrrrn nnrr n rrrnrrr ­€­‚ HHLICENSE#299992888LOCALLYOWNEDANDOPERATED r nr rrn r r n 2805Hwy.44 W.

Interest rates (Previous and change gures reect current contract.)S&P 500 posts slight gain, Dow flat By STAN CHOE Associated Press NEW YORK — Wall Street closed Tuesday al most exactly where it began after a mixed set of prot reports led to a quiet, mean dering day of trading. The S&P 500 edged up by 3.55 points, or 0.1 percent, to 4,154.87 after drifting between small gains and losses throughout the day. The Dow Jones Industri al Average slipped 10.55, or less than 0.1 percent, to 33,976.63, and the Nasdaq composite was down 4.31, or less than 0.1 percent, at 12,153.41. Lockheed Martin was one of Wall Street’s bigger gain ers. It climbed 2.4 percent after reporting a prot for the latest quarter that topped analysts’ expectations. Bank of America rose 0.6 percent after its bet ter-than-expected prot re port led to an up-and-down day of trading. The majori ty of companies have been beating forecasts so far in the early days of this report ing season. The bar, though, was low amid Wall Street’s worries about still-high ination, much higher interest rates and slowing in some sec tions of the economy. Ana lysts came into this report ing season forecasting the sharpest drop in earnings per share for S&P 500 com panies since the pandemic torpedoed the economy in 2020. Several companies stum bled after failing to meet ex pectations. Goldman Sachs fell 1.7 percent after its rev enue fell short of analysts’ forecasts, though earnings topped expectations. Health care stocks were broadly weak and the heavi est weight on the S&P 500 out of the 11 sectors that make up the index. Johnson & Johnson fell 2.8 percent despite reporting stronger prot than expected and raising its dividend. Coming up later this week will be reports from several dozen more companies in the S&P 500. They include big names such as AT&T, Tesla and Procter & Gam ble. Wall Street’s attention will also turn to smaller, regional banks set to report, such as KeyCorp and Zions Ban corp. Their stocks took a hit last month following the secondand third-largest U.S. bank failures in history. The worry was that cus tomers could pull their de posits out of banks together at once, similar to the runs that toppled Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. Most of the focus has been on regional banks instead of the massive “too-big-to-fail” banks like JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America. Those big banks have so far been reporting better prots than expected, and their immense size may have helped lure deposits amid the turmoil. They’ve also been the highlights of the earliest days of this re porting season, helping to add some calm to markets. A larger worry for the economy is that the banking industry’s woes could cause a pullback in lending. That in turn could add more pres sure on an economy already straining under the weight of much higher interest rates. The Federal Reserve has jacked rates up at a furi ous pace over the last year in hopes of slowing high ination.Art Center Camera Club photographer win top honors in April competition SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE The Art Center Camera Club held its April competi tion recently, in which Linda David received top honors with her work titled “Good Enough to Eat.” The camera club holds ve competitions each year for its members.

The company’s CEO Tim Cook posed for photos with a few of the 100 or so Apple fans who had lined up outside the sprawling 20,000-square-foot store in India’s nancial capital, Mumbai, its design inspired by the iconic black-and-yel low cabs unique to the city. A second store will open Thursday in the national capital, New Delhi. “India has such a beautiful culture and an incredible energy, and we’re excited to build on our long-stand ing history,” Cook said in a statement earlier. The tech giant has been op erating in India for more than 25 years, selling its products through authorized retailers and the website it launched a few years ago. But regulato ry hurdles and the pandemic delayed its plans to open a agship store. The new stores are a clear signal of the company’s commitment to invest in India, the second-largest smartphone market in the world where iPhone sales have been ticking up steadi ly, said Jayanth Kolla, an alyst at Convergence Cat alyst, a tech consultancy. The stores show “how much India matters to the present and the future of the compa ny,” he added. For the Cupertino, Califor nia-based company, India’s sheer size makes the market especially encouraging. About 600 million of In dia’s 1.4 billion people have smartphones, “which means the market is still under-penetrated and the growth prospect is huge,” said Neil Shah, vice presi dent of research at technol ogy market research rm Counterpoint Research. Between 2020 and 2022, the Silicon Valley company has gained some ground in the smartphone market in the country, going from just about 2 percent to captur ing 6 percent, according to Counterpoint data. Still, the iPhone’s hefty price tag puts it out of reach for the majority of Indians. Instead, iPhone sales in the country have thrived among the sliver of up per-middle-class and rich Indians with disposable in comes, a segment of buy ers that Shah says is rising. According to Counterpoint data, Apple has captured 65 percent of the “premium” smartphone market, where prices range up from 30,000 rupees ($360). In September, Apple an nounced it would start mak ing its iPhone 14 in India. The news was hailed as a win for Prime Minister Na rendra Modi’s government, which has pushed for ramp ing up local manufacturing ever since he came to power in 2014.

A8 Wednesday, April 19, 2023 Citrus County Chronicle H istorically, librarians have selected books to include in the library, and school districts have had selection commit-tees of educators to select instructional materials to be used in the school system. This process seems to have worked ne, but in the past few years state govern-ment has taken a microman-aging approach to public education, from expanding vouchers for students to getting involved in who is elected to school boards, what should be taught in classrooms, what books should be in school librar-ies and what educational materials the school should choose. In March 2022, the state Legislature passed leg-islation requiring school districts to be transparent in the selection of instruction-al materials, including li-brary and reading materials. The bill requires districts convening for the purpose of selecting instructional materials to give notice of the meetings and have them open to the public. Although the Citrus County School Board has long had a policy for selection of materials that allowed for parental input into the se-lection process, in response to this legislation, the School Board revised and rewrote its policy to make it consistent with the newly passed state law. One key difference in the new policy and the histor-ical policy is that the new policy allows not only par-ents and others with a direct interest in the school system to raise objections to spe-cic materials, but it also allows community members to raise objections to mate-rials being considered. Whether this change will be an issue is yet to be determined, but according to school ofcials there has historically been little ob-jection to specic materials. One provision of the new school district policy is that while it has adequate oppor-tunity for public notice and opportunities for input, it also sets the decision of the School Board as nal after hearings are concluded. Given recent experiences with objections to school materials across the coun-try, including objections to library materials here in Citrus County, this seems like a prudent provision. After all, when everyone has had the opportunity for input, there needs to be nality to the process. I n celebration of National Library Week, I will be the guest speaker at The Lakes Region Library, on Wednesday, April 26, 2023, at 1:00 pm. The event will be held at the Lakes Region Li-brary, 1511 Druid Road, Inverness, FL. 34452 One of the books I will dis-cuss will be my rock biography, “Somebody Else’s Dream: Dakota, the Buoys, and ‘Timothy.’” The Buoys’ song “Timothy” was banned on numerous radio stations because of “inappro-priate content,” ugly references to cannibalism during the 1963 Sheppton, Pennsylvania mining disaster. Unfortunately, that cen-sorship is alive and well today in books and songs, as politicians and school boards continue to ban ideas presenting different opinions. Examples abound. The Waukesha Wisconsin school district banned two songs from an elementary school spring concert. One was a duet by Dolly Parton and Miley Cyrus called “Rainbowland.” The other is called “Rainbow Connection,” by Kermit the Frog. George Orwell’s dystopian view of the future, “1984,” published in 1949, was banned in the U.S. for being pro-Com-munism and in Russia for being anti-Communism. John Steinbeck’s “The Grapes of Wrath” won the 1940 Pulitzer Prize, but The Associated Farm-ers of California publicly burned the book, calling it “a pack of lies” and Communist. “The Handmaid’s Tale,” originally published in 1985, depicted a patriarchal, totalitarian, and theocratic society in the near future. Unfortunately, this book was removed from classroom and library bookshelves nine times over 2021-2022. “The Catcher in the Rye” (1951) by J.D. Salinger is a “coming of age” novel that seems to offend everyone. Over the decades, it has been banned for the use of profanity, sexually explicit content, description of underage drinking and drug use, hints of the occult, and even, in 1968, because it was deemed to be a Communist plot. Freedom of speech does not come without a cost. Author Sal-man Rushdie spent years hiding after Iran’s Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini issued a 1989 edict, a fatwa, calling for his death after the publication of his novel “The Satanic Verses,” which was con-sidered blasphemous by some Muslims. As a result, Rushdie lost sight in one eye and use of his hand from an attack by a man who rushed the stage in August 2022. The Buoy’s “Timothy” is an example of the ongoing censorship that goes against the principles of free speech in an open society. As a Vietnam Veteran, Hernando resident, and an active member of the Citrus Writers, I will continue to advo cate for literacy in schools and the community and promote the democratic values of our First Amendment. Maxim W. Furek is a writer who lives in Hernando. O Humanity matters In response to Dean Bales’ Letter to the Editor article dated 15 April, I’ll stick to my original thought: “gender dysphoria is real for teenage boys and girls.” It is true that every human being is either born male or female in a biological physical body. If one follows the science and medi cal clinical evidence (objective and observable facts), then one can easily conclude that gen der dysphoria is a spectrum of how severe one’s organic brain is hard-wired to one’s gender identity (again as the fetus/baby develops in the mother’s womb with an imbalance of sex hor mones). It has nothing to do with genetic sex chromosomes nor sex expressive genes. What may manifest in all babies is a spec trum of heterosexual, homosex ual, lesbian, bisexual, queer, and even trans-sexual attractions and intimate relationships. Frankly, I have no idea what non-binary even means or how sex plays into a non-binary person’s intimate relationship with another human being. My main point is that con nectedness of humanity matters, political and divisive social philosophy matters not. In fact, I believe that the majority of trans men/women generally agree with most heterosexuals’ view of how they should assimilate into Amer ican society. Like I stated before, what is fair and how does society have frank conversations to fig ure out looming legal and hard issues like girls/women’s sports, female-only physical sanctuar ies, military paid-for sex change surgeries, and other societal concerns. I disagree with Dean Bales’ position that all LGBQT individuals are sociopaths or have psychological disorders labeled as “sexual deviants.” Perhaps I am a poor writer of the English language, my mes sage confusing/garbled to many readers. I have no issue with LGBQT individuals, how they chose to live their life and who they have intimate relationships with is a personal matter and choice. All I ask is to be a good, decent human being and a good American citizen. My beef is with the far left hateful and bullying “justice warriors” pushing wokeness and identity politics social philoso phies on centralist and conserva tive American citizens. Insecure and ignorant in their “conquer all” thought processes to protect society with their sociopathic moral panic agenda, this very crazy far left activist movement is full of “fascist” hysteria. My subtle point was that not only is the LGBQ community victims of this “fascist” hysteria activist movement, trans-sexual individu als are equally victimized by this far left sociopathic activism too. Bill Dolley Citrus Springs Our freedoms have been reversed I am not a Republican. I am a Democrat. Now that that is out of the way, more importantly, I am an American woman. I have strong opinions, beliefs and ideas. I believe in right and wrong, and, as I told my students years ago, I believe in choices and consequences. I do not believe I am in the minority, of men and women, who are of the opinion that women should have control of their own bodies. To think that one person, or even a group of people who have no idea of who I am, or what I have been through, or what I believe in, should be able to dictate my choices, and therefore make me be subject to their consequences does not seem the American way. The choice and consequences I believe in dictate to me that any group, or individual, that chooses to take over my personal choices should also suffer the conse quences of their choice. Ron DeSantis and the Florida Repub licans do not have the right to decide my choices. No one should be able to decide, but the woman, what choices she makes with her body. Right or wrong, it should be her choice. It should not be under threat of some unknown person who has no knowledge of her or her needs. Religious beliefs should be personal. Because I believe one way should not cause another person to be subject to my beliefs. I respect their rights, I do not tell them their choices are wrong just because they are not mine. I will tell them that while I respect their opinions and beliefs, I ask that they respect mine. I would not tell them to abstain from meat just because I might be a vegetarian, I would just ask them to respect my choices. I would not question their personal choices, I would just ask them to leave me to mine. I ask for all to consider that Ron DeSantis and the Republi cans have decided they are the bosses of what we can do, and what is allowed for all of us. They have made efforts, and laws, that have reversed free doms we have enjoyed. Finally, I do not vote party line. I believe we should vote on merits and records. I believe to blindly follow party line takes away our free choice.

Citrus County Chronicle Wednesday, April 19, 2023 A9Nonprofits scramble for help amid dearth of volunteers By THALIA BEATY and GLENN GAMBOA Associated Press CASA of Lexington has tried just about everything to nd volunteers to serve as advocates for abused and neglected children with the Kentucky nonprot. Since 2020, it has hired someone to focus on re cruiting volunteers, added in-person and virtual out reach events and options to complete the required 30-hour training, and printed information on fans to hand out in churches, Melynda Milburn Jamison, its execu tive director, said. She even visited a men’s-only barbe cue to make a quick 10-min ute pitch. The result? In 2022, CASA of Lexington had 62 new volunteers complete training, short of its target of 80. Only two came from the group’s recruitment events, with the rest mostly via word of mouth, Jamison said. “We’ve been able to re tain keeping the number of children we serve fairly con sistent,” she said, “but we should have been increasing because we’ve taken on new counties and we’ve added additional staff.” Jamison is not alone in her frustration. Her experience reects the latest twist in a decadeslong trend of declin ing volunteer participation. As pandemic-related gov ernment aid programs end and ination rises, nonprof its of all kinds are looking everywhere and trying ev erything to get volunteers. According to a recent U.S. Census Bureau and Amer iCorps survey, formal vol unteer participation was 23.2 percent, dropping 7 percentage points between 2019 and 2021 – the largest decrease the survey has re corded since a version of it started in 2002. It’s reached the point where the lack of volunteers strains the safety net that nonprots provide to many of society’s most vulnerable. “This is a wake-up call for the social sector, which de pends on volunteers, espe cially as needs for services remain high,” said Michael D. Smith, CEO of Ameri Corps, which has opened its yearly grant program to award $8 million to help nonprots recruit and retain volunteers. The largest drop between 2019 and 2021 in any state was Colorado at 16.1 per centage points. Hawaii, Wisconsin and Ohio also saw double-digit drops. Utah, with its highest-in-the-nation participation rate of 40.7 percent in 2021, the most recent gures avail able, saw an 8.8 percent age-point drop. Researchers, nonprot professionals and volunteers offer a variety of explana tions for the decline, includ ing the COVID-19 pandem ic and economic woes. Historically, volunteering has been strongest among college graduates, married people and people with chil dren. However, many mil lennials and Gen Zers are delaying those traditional markers of adulthood, and even their peers who do reach these milestones are volunteering at lower rates, researchers at the University of Maryland found in a 2019 report. “Younger generations to day are much more likely to work several jobs, more likely to have to share places to live long past the college roommate stage of life,” said Mark Snyder, director of the Center for the Study of the Individual and Society at the University of Minne sota. “These are barriers to getting involved. They are not all blessed to have the discretionary time to go out and volunteer.” The COVID-19 pandemic also played a role, as clo sures and fears about get ting sick led some people to break their volunteering habit. Some did not return, instead putting their atten tion on their families or, as local United Ways report, their own needs for help with food, rent, utilities and health care. At CASA of Lexington, the recruiting problems mean the nonprot cannot increase the number of chil dren it provides an advocate for as quickly as it would like. “Even though we served just shy of 700 kids last year, that was less than 20 percent of the need here. So there’s a huge need,” Jamison said. “We typically get the worst of the worst cases.” Shannon Arimura, who runs volunteer support pro grams with Nevada Vol unteers, said organizations should clearly outline the commitment and skills needed in volunteer post ings, build relationships with new volunteers, and offer appreciation for their work. “If you’re only going to give so much of your re sources towards volun teer management, then it shouldn’t surprise you when you don’t have volunteers that will stay,” she said. Karmit Bulman, execu tive director of Minnesota Alliance for Volunteer Ad vancement, recommends nonprots learn from infor mal volunteering networks, meaning the help neighbors provide each other when needed. Those behaviors remained largely steady through the pandemic, the census survey found. The rate was 50.9 percent in 2021, compared with 51.4 percent in 2017. “We need to stop thinking that we can do everything we used to do in the same way. So it’s a time for some pretty intensive change management,” she said. Her advice is to seek vol unteers from within the com munities that nonprots are serving, make the onboard ing process as efcient as possible and meet volunteers when and where they are. “A lot of our systems were set up as a best practice for the professionals who might typically be a white woman who’s leading the program as opposed to being a best practice for anyone” else, Bulman said. Companies, long an im portant sources of volun teers, are looking to priori tize in-person volunteering again but are asking em ployees to take on a larger role organizing that and choosing programs, accord ing to a recent survey by Chief Executives for Corpo rate Purpose, which advises companies on sustainability and corporate responsibility issues. “This orchestrated corpo rate vision of a day of ser vice and one-day activities is shifting to companies wanting their employees to chart their own path of vol unteerism and being ambas sadors in the community,” Kari Niedfeldt-Thomas, a managing director with that organization, said. “And they’re providing the tool kits and the resources to be able to make those deci sions.” The only state that saw an increase in formal volunteer participation from 2019 to 2021 was Wyoming. Rachel Bailey, executive director of the Food Bank of Wyoming, said many residents wanted to help when the pandemic hit and were willing to par ticipate despite potential health risks. The demand for food assis tance also spiked, with her organization increasing the number of mobile food pan tries from four to 19. Almost all of the new pantries are staffed by volunteers, some of whom are also seeking food assistance. Joshua A. Bickel / AP Melynda Milburn Jamison, executive director of CASA of Lex ington, meets with a new volunteer before a training session on April 6 in Lexington, Ky. r rn  rnnnn r n    rrn  ­€ ‚ƒ­€„ƒ ‚­€ n €„€ ­­„…€  „„† ­€­‡­ ­ r r‡­€ˆ­„  ˆ­„   r    ˆ„„„­­‡­† ­‡€ † ­ ‰ˆ‚­ ­ˆ  ­  ­   …€­ €‚ ƒ„ ­­‡„‡­ ­ ­­ ­ ­   rn ­ € rn ­Š ­ € r‹Œ r nn rnrnr r r n rrrnnnr ­  n rn rn  n  ­€ ‚ƒ­€„ƒ ‚­€ n €„€ ­­„…€  „„† ­€­‡­ ­ ­  ­   …€­ €‚ ƒ„ ­­‡„‡­ ­ ­­ ­ ­ r‹Œ r r ­ n r ­ n 2023 1993 AMERICAANTHEMAPPLEPIEBARBECUESBASEBALLBETSYROSSBRAVECEREMONIESCONSTITUTIONCOOKOUTDECLARATION EAGLEEVENTSFAMILIESFESTIVALSFIREWORKSFLAGSFOUNDINGFATHERSFREEDOMFOODFUN GATHERINGSHISTORYHOLIDAYHOTDOGSJEFFERSONJULYFOURTHLIBERTYMUSICNATIONPARADES PATRIOTISM PICNICREDBL UE WHITESTARS AND STATES SUMMER THIR TEEN VICTOR Y WASH INGT rr rrnr rrrrr r n r Wordscangoinanydirection.Wordscansharelettersastheycrossovereachother. rn  ­€   ‚‚ ‚ ƒ‚ ­ €ƒ ­ ƒ ƒ   €€‚ƒ„…†‡ˆ‰†Š‹ƒŒŽ‘Œˆ†’“‡†””• ‘–— ˜™‘ ™š (352)795-3681 We’relookingforteammembers...inevery division. www.mikescottplumbing.com/careersrnn€•

A10 Wednesday, April 19, 2023 Citrus County ChronicleN & W CITRUS COUNTY CHRONICLEPutin, Zelenskyy rally troops with war poised for new phase By ADAM PEMBLE Associated Press KYIV, Ukraine — Rus sian President Vladimir Pu tin visited command posts of his forces ghting in Ukraine for the second time in two months, ofcials said Tuesday, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zel enskyy made his latest trip near the front line. The visits – on different days and in different prov inces – sought to stiffen the resolve of soldiers as the war approaches its 14th month and as Kyiv readies a pos sible counteroffensive with Western-supplied weapons. Some of the most sig nicant of those weapons appeared to have recently arrived in Ukraine. Germa ny’s ofcial federal govern ment website on Tuesday listed a Patriot surface-to-air guided missile system as among the military items delivered within the past week to Ukraine. Ukraine has been pressing for Patriots and other air de fense systems from its allies for months, and Germany’s appeared to be the rst to have arrived. Ukrainian air force spokesman Yurii Ihnat declined to conrm Tuesday that a Patriot is in Ukraine, local media outlet RBC-Ukraine reported, while stat ing that receiving the mis siles would be a landmark event, allowing Ukrainians to knock down Russian tar gets at a greater distance. Elsewhere, Kremlin video showed Putin arriving by helicopter at the command post of Russian forces in southern Ukraine’s Kherson province, then ying to the headquarters of the Russian National Guard in Luhansk province, in the country’s east. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the vis its took place Monday. Dressed in a dark suit, Pu tin attended briengs with his military brass on both of his stops. The locations of the military headquarters weren’t disclosed, making it impossible to assess how close they were to the front line. Nor was it possible independently to verify the video’s authenticity. On Tuesday, Zelenskyy made his latest trip to visit units in Avdiivka, an eastern city in Donetsk province where erce battles are tak ing place. He heard rst-hand reports about ghting and handed out awards. Zelenskyy’s visits to areas feeling the brunt of Russia’s full-scale invasion gathered pace last month as he shut tled across the country, of ten by train. As with Putin, the Ukrainian president’s wartime trips usually aren’t publicized until afterward. While ofcial coverage of Putin’s trip showed him in mostly formal and ceremo nious settings, Zelenskyy’s ofce issued photos show ing the Ukrainian president taking seles with soldiers, eating cake with them and drinking out of paper cups. Russia’s war in Ukraine has become largely dead locked, with heavy ght ing in the east, particularly around the Donestk prov ince city of Bakhmut, which for 8 1/2 months has seen the longest and bloodiest battle so far. Russia illegally annexed Kherson, Luhansk, Do netsk and Zaporizhzhia provinces in September, following local referen dums that Ukraine and the West denounced as shams. Ukrainian presidential ad viser Mykhailo Podolyak was scathing in his criticism of Putin’s trip, accusing him of “degradation” and being the author of “mass mur ders” in the war.

Vehicles tumbled into what looked like a frozen stream of sedans and SUVs. People nearby described a fearsome rumbling, fol lowed by screams. Ahmed Scott arrived to collect his car after work and found a disaster in the making. In video he shot from across the street, someone off-camera yells, “Guard! 911! 911! There’s a building collapsing on Ann Street,” followed by the sound of something crumpling. About 45 seconds later, two women run out, saying the building fell while they were inside it. A man stands on a re escape as bystand ers try to gure out how to help him get down. He eventually did, Scott said. “I hope ain’t nobody else in there,” Scott recalled thinking, worrying for the garage workers he’d gotten to know. To Jadess Speller, a stu dent at nearby Pace Uni versity, the collapse “felt like an earthquake – like the earth opened up inside, like that’s how violent it was.” Other students described seeing cars falling in the building. One vehicle landed on its end in the garage entrance, a photo posted by Mayor Eric Adams’ ofce showed. Authorities believed they had accounted for every one inside the building, but searches continued Tuesday evening to make sure no one was in any of the squashed cars, Fire De partment Chief of Opera tions John Esposito said. One garage employee was rescued via a neighboring roof after being trapped on an upper oor, he said. “He was conscious and alert and moving around, calling us. He just couldn’t get down,” Esposito said. Four of the injured were hospitalized and in stable condition, and the fth re fused medical attention, he said. The garage caved in around 4 p.m., a few blocks from City Hall and the Brooklyn Bridge, and about half a mile from the New York Stock Exchange. Pace evacuated an adjacent dorm and classroom building, and canceled all evening classes as it assessed the buildings’ safety. School ofcials sent the displaced students to a student center while work ing out other accommoda tions. Don Mulligan was on the 17th oor of a nearby hotel when he heard a roar like a jet ying overhead and felt the high-rise sway. “You knew something was happening,” said Mulligan, of Cincinnati. The hotel was evacuated, he said. It wasn’t immediately clear what caused the col lapse. City Buildings De partment records show the three-story structure has been a garage at least since the 1920s, and there are no recent permits for construc tion. Mary Altaffer / AP Cars are seen piled on top of each other at the scene of a partial collapse of a parking garage in the Financial District of New York on Tuesday.Shooter of Black Kansas City teen out on bond By MARGARET STAFFORD and JIM SALTER Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — As 16-year-old Ralph Yarl struggled to come to grips with being shot for going to the wrong house to pick up his younger brothers, the white Kansas City, Missou ri, homeowner who shot the Black teenager turned him self in on Tuesday. Andrew Lester, 84, sur rendered at the Clay County Detention Center a day after being charged with rst-de gree assault and armed crim inal action. He posted bond Tuesday afternoon and was released. Some civil rights leaders urged a hate crime charge, but Clay County Prosecuting Attorney Zach ary Thompson said rst-de gree assault is a higher-level crime with a longer sentence – up to life in prison. Meanwhile, Yarl was home recovering from his wounds. “Ralph is doing consider ably well,” his mother, Cleo Nagbe, told “CBS Morn ings” co-host Gayle King. “Physically, mornings are hard, but his spirits are in a good place. I borrow from his spirits.” Nagbe said the trauma re mains evident. She said her son is “able to communicate mostly when he feels like it, but mostly he just sits there and stares and the buckets of tears just rolls down his eyes.” “You can see that he is just replaying the situation over and over again, and that just doesn’t stop my tears ei ther,” she said. The shooting happened about 10 p.m. on Thursday. Police Chief Stacey Graves said that Yarl’s parents asked him to pick up his twin brothers at a home on 115th Terrace. Yarl, an honor student and all-state band member, mis takenly went to 115th Street – a block away from where he meant to be. When he rang the bell, Lester came to the door and shot Yarl in the forehead – then shot him again, in the right forearm. Lester faces arraignment Wednesday afternoon. Lester told police he lives alone and was “scared to death” when he saw a Black male on the porch and thought someone was trying to break in, according to the probable cause statement. No words were exchanged before the shooting, but af terward, as Yarl got up to run, he heard Lester yell, “Don’t come around here,” the statement said. Yarl ran to “multiple” homes asking for help be fore nding someone who would call the police, the statement said. James Lynch was the neighbor who found Yarl. He didn’t immediately respond to an interview request, but his wife Tiffany conrmed an NBC News report that said Lynch heard shouting and saw Yarl banging on the door of another home. “I heard somebody screaming, ‘Help, help, I’ve been shot!’” Lynch, who is white, told NBC. The father of three ran out and found Yarl covered in blood. Lynch checked his pulse and, when another neigh bor came out with towels, helped stem the bleeding until paramedics arrived. The shooting outraged many in Kansas City and across the country. Civic and political leaders – in cluding President Joe Biden – demanded justice. Biden spoke with Yarl on Monday and invited him to the White House. “No parent should have to worry that their kid will be shot after ringing the wrong doorbell,” Biden said on Twit ter. “We’ve got to keep up the ght against gun violence.” “And Ralph, we’ll see you in the Oval once you feel better.” Thompson said Monday that there was a “racial component” to the shoot ing. He did not elaborate. But Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Alexander Higgin botham claried in an email to The Associated Press on Tuesday that “there is not a racial element to the legal charges that were led.” Still, some – including lawyers for Yarl’s family – pressed the racial dimen sion of the case.

But President Joe Biden swiftly swatted down the plan, which would cap much federal spending at increases of 1 percent a year, as requiring “huge cuts” to programs helping millions of Americans. It was just the latest in what is expected to be a protracted debate over how, when and even whether to raise the nation’s debt lim it, now at $31 trillion, with default and a potentially devastating blow to the economy possible if Con gress fails to act. McCarthy is nding un usual support for his plan from his typically fractured House Republican majori ty, who view the proposal as a calling card to push Biden into negotiations. The White House has so far refused to engage in debt ceiling talks, doubt ful McCarthy can unify Republicans and steer any proposal to passage. Biden, in his rst public remarks on the proposal, said at the White House that McCarthy had effec tively proposed “huge cuts to important programs” that millions of U.S. households depend on. The president said that McCarthy has “threatened to be the rst one to default on the debt, which would throw us into a gigantic re cession and beyond unless he gets what he wants in the budget.” The high-stakes battle comes as Biden confronts this year’s newly divid ed government with Re publicans in charge of the House and eager to ex their majority power. If McCarthy succeeds in having the House pass his proposal, he would be able to enter into spending talks with the White House showing that he has the backing of his fellow GOP lawmakers. Biden says the Republicans should rst reveal their own detailed spending plan – free of any connection to the debt limit. And administration ofcials have privately expressed doubts about the benets of negotiating with McCarthy out of skepticism that he can actually deliver conser vative Republican votes. Democratic Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries quipped on CNBC that the House Republicans’ bud get plan is “in the witness protection program.” McCarthy, unable to pass a comprehensive Repub lican budget plan in the House, instead has been working with his leadership team to unite the “ve fam ilies” – the often warring factions of Republican cau cuses – to join together on his new, more general plan. He convened lawmakers Tuesday for a private meet ing to discuss the proposal.Southwest passengers face delays after nationwide grounding By DAVID KOENIG AP Airlines Writer DALLAS — Southwest Airlines planes were brief ly grounded nationwide Tuesday for what the air line called an intermittent technology issue, leading to more than 1,800 delayed ights just four months after the carrier suffered a much bigger meltdown over the Christmas travel rush. The hold on departures was lifted by late morning, according to Southwest and the Federal Aviation Administration, but not be fore trafc at airports from Denver to New York City backed up. “Southwest has resumed operations after temporar ily pausing ight activi ty this morning to work through data connection issues resulting from a rewall failure,” the Dal las-based airline said in a prepared statement. “Ear ly this morning, a ven dor-supplied rewall went down and connection to some operational data was unexpectedly lost.” Southwest urged cus tomers to check on their ight status “and explore self-service options” for travel as the airline worked on restoring its operation. By midday on the East Coast, more than 40 per cent of all Southwest ights were delayed, and the airline accounted for nearly two-thirds of all delays nationwide. On the positive side, Southwest had only about a dozen ights canceled, in line with other major airlines, according to FlightAware. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg retweet ed an FAA post about the ground stop, adding, “We are here to ensure passen gers have strong protec tions when airline failures like this affect their plans.” He referred travelers to a Transportation Department checklist of passenger rights, and his press sec retary pointed out that “no other airlines experienced disruptions.” Tuesday’s delays added to the picture of an airline that has struggled more than most with technology issues. “It was a 17-minute ground stop. This will have no long-lasting affect on Southwest’s reputation,” said Henry Harteveldt, a travel analyst with Atmo sphere Research Group. “What matters now for Southwest is getting to the cause and doing all it can to ensure incidents like this don’t occur again.” Rob Britton, a former American Airlines exec utive who teaches crisis management at George town University, said the damage from Tuesday’s incident will be minor but will add to the erosion of Southwest’s image. He said Southwest has un derinvested in technology while growing rapidly, and it suffers from an “insular culture” that “keeps them from looking outside for solutions.” In December, Southwest canceled nearly 17,000 ights in a 10-day stretch around Christmas – wreck ing holiday travel plans for well over 2 million peo ple – when a winter storm shut down its operations in Denver and Chicago and the airline’s system for rescheduling pilots and ight attendants was over whelmed.

By MATT PFIFFNER Sports editor LECANTO — The St. Augustine girls tennis team made the long trip to Lecanto on Tuesday for a Re gion 3A-2 quarternal match.

See REGIONALS , page B3 See PANTHERS , page B3 By JEFF WALLNER Associated Press CINCINNATI — Taylor Walls homered twice and drove in four runs and rook ie right-hander Taj Bradley dazzled in his second start as the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Cincinnati Reds 10-0 on Tuesday night. Yandy Diaz hit a three-run homer, and Randy Aroza rena also went deep as the Rays handed Reds lefty Nick Lodolo his rst loss of the season. “It’s been a while since the offense has really been awake,” Diaz said through an interpreter. “We were able to connect on some of those hits and it was good.” The Rays have homered in each of their rst 18 games this season, the second-lon gest home run streak to be gin a campaign since the 2019 Mariners went deep in 20 straight games. “Everybody played a big role,” Rays manager Kev in Cash said. “And we did it against a good pitcher. (Lodolo) is a talented guy. We didn’t help him out ex panding on the breaking ball. We made him throw the fastball over the middle of the plate.” The 22-year-old Bradley (2-0) was sensational again, striking out nine and walk ing one in 5 1 / 3 innings. “I felt more relaxed,” Bradley said. “Run support adds to the relaxation. Ev ery pitch felt good. Four-pitch mix. I feel like I’ve had a good changeup and recently got the curveball.” Bradley’s 17 combined strikeouts in his rst two ca reer starts are the most for a Rays pitcher, surpassing Andy Sonnanstine’s previ ous club record of 15 strike outs in 2007. “Another outing where he’s pitching with a lot of condence,” Cash said. “He might have had better stuff, the slider looked really good. When you’re building off you’re debut, and to do it again, it is impressive.” Walls, who went 4 for 5, started the scoring with a solo homer in the second. Four batters later, Diaz launched his fth homer of the season with two aboard to put the Rays up 4-0. “When I hit it, I didn’t look at where it went,” said Diaz, of his upper-deck blast to Walls hits two HRs, Bradley dazzles, Rays beat Reds 10-0 See RAYS , page B3 By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TORONTO — Brayden Point scored twice and the Tampa Bay Lightning rout ed the Toronto Maple Leafs 7-3 on Tuesday night in the opening game of the teams’ rst-round playoff series.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL STANDINGS AND SCORESTHIS DATE IN BASEBALL Rays lefty Springs goes on IL By JEFF WALLNER Associated Press CINCINNATI — Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Jef frey Springs was placed on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday with a left el bow exor strain that may require Tommy John sur gery. The 30-year-old Springs, a breakout star during the Rays’ 13-0 start to the season, met Tuesday with Dr. Keith Meister, who specializes in the elbow ligament re placement procedure. “Obviously, he’s going on the IL with an elbow issue,” manager Kevin Cash said before Tampa Bay’s game at Cincinna ti. “I think in fairness to Jeff, he’s still processing the information that he’s gotten. He met with the doctor. So I think we’re a day or two from him com ing up with a decision on what is ideal for him and then a timetable from there.” Tommy John surgery would end Springs’ sea son. Springs left after throw ing two pitches in the fourth inning Thursday against Boston. He threw a 79.8 mph changeup and a 83.5 mph slider to Justin Turner, then looked at his hand and elbow. His inju ry was initially diagnosed as ulnar nerve inamma tion. “The pitch prior, kind of just felt a little bit of something in the elbow, forearm area,” Springs said after that game. “It was kind of hard to pin point.” Springs went 9-5 with a 2.46 ERA in 33 games, including 25 starts, last season, his rst in the Rays’ rotation. He signed a four-year, $31 million contract in January. The lefty was dominant in his rst two starts of 2023, striking out 12 in six hitless innings in his debut on April 2 against Detroit, and then allowing three hits in seven score less innings against Oak land on April 8. He is 2-0 with a 0.56 ERA.Tatis Jr. of Padres to return Thursday By BERNIE WILSON Associated Press SAN DIEGO — Thurs day night at Arizona, Fernando Tatis Jr. will be announced as the leadoff hitter for the San Diego Padres and settle into a big league batter’s box for the rst time since the last game of the 2021 season. One of baseball’s most electrifying players will return from an 80-game PED suspension that shocked his teammates – and tempered his status as one of the sport’s most prominent and likable stars. If a jaw-dropping power display during a rehab stint at Triple-A El Paso is any indication, the Padres will be getting back the player who was an All-Star at shortstop in 2021, when he led the NL with 42 homers. Perhaps equally im portant is the energy and swagger the 24-year-old from the Dominican Re public brings every time he steps on the eld. With his troublesome left shoulder surgically repaired during his sus pension, Tatis will play right eld and could be the spark the Padres des perately need to overcome a slow start for a lineup that includes fellow su perstars Manny Machado, Juan Soto and Xander Bo gaerts, and has baseball’s third-highest payroll. Ohtani’s HR leads Angels past Yankees, 5-2 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Shohei Ohtani homered on the 100th anniversary of the original Yankee Stadium, following Babe Ruth’s ex ample with a loud two-run drive in the rst inning that started the Los Angeles An gels to a 5-2 win over New York on Tuesday night.

Citrus won both regular season meets over Crystal River, but there were plenty of close matches. “We are ready for the re gional nals on Thursday,” Citrus head coach Tia Nel son said. The Hurricanes won the rst four singles matches on the courts Tuesday to claim a 4-0 victory over the Bull dogs. Once a team reaches the four points need to win the match, the rest of the in dividual matches are called off the courts and the meet is over. No. 1 singles player Ri ley Dodd set the tone early for the Hurricanes. After dropping the rst game of the match to Connor Har rison, Dodd reeled off 12 straight games for a 6-1, 6-0 victory to give the Hur-ricanes a 1-0 lead over the Bulldogs. Caleb Blanch in No. 4 singles was the next off the court, with a 6-0, 6-0 win over Charles Anthony. Ma son Bryant made it 3-0 for Citrus with a 6-1, 6-2 vic tory in No. 3 singles over Alberto Benatti. Landon Hensley closed out the match in style, with a 7-5, 6-0 win in No. 2 sin gles over Bulldog Grant Baker-Small, who led 4-0 in the rst set. “Hats off to Landon Hens ley for coming back from a 4-0 decit to win 7-5, 6-0 and clinch the victory for the Hurricanes,” coach Nel son said. Logan Shaw was leading 6-1, 4-0 in No. 5 singles for Citrus when his match was called off the court. In Ocala, the Pirates won three of their four matches in a third-set tiebreaker to knock off the Knights. Austin Edwards won in No. 1 singles, 6-0, 2-6, 10-4, and Carson Edwards claimed a 6-2, 2-6, 10-6 victory in No. 3 singles, as Vanguard took a 3-2 lead into doubles play. The Crystal River No. 1 doubles team of Austin Edwards and Jacob Silvey won 6-2, 6-4 to knot the match at 3-3 and the No. 2 duo of Carson Edwards and Devon Hicks rallied for a 2-6, 6-2, 10-6 triumph to seal the regional seminal victory. REGIONALSFrom page B1 the second set to force a third-set 10-point tiebreak er. The two were tied 3-3 when Lachireddy won three points in a row to take control. She went on to a 10-5 tiebreaker win to take the match and give the Pan thers a commanding 3-0 lead. “It’s just important to keep calm during tiebreak ers like that so you don’t mess up early and get be hind,” Lachireddy said. “It feels good, because we’ve all worked really hard to get where we’re at.” After dropping the rst set, the Panther said she g ured out what was working and what wasn’t. “I always try to see what their strategy is and some times it takes longer to gure it out. I just use it against them,” she said. “I found out to hit shots away from her cross-court and that worked really well.” Coach Rausch said it was a typical Lachireddy match. “That was very exciting. We laughed because she likes to stay on the court. That’s what we told her,” she said. The only question after that was who would clinch the met with the fourth point. In No. 4 singles, Rec ta defeated Abbie Nick le 6-0, 6-2 to earn that meet-clinching point. The No. 1 singles match nished just moments lat er, with Tahiri winning 6-1, 6-1, but the team scored re mains 4-0. Kompella won the rst set in No. 3 singles, 6-4, and Karanam was tied 4-4 in No. 2 singles when those matches were called off the courts. Tahiri has already qual ied for the state meet in singles and doubles with Karanam, but now the goal for the team is to win Thursday so everyone can go next week. “Going to state as a team has been our goal,” Rausch said. “We already have two girls going and now the rest of the team wants to have that hotel room stay. I told them they have to win Thursday to get that hotel room stay.” PANTHERSFrom page B1 left. “When I got back to the dugout they told me where it landed.” Walls’ two-run triple in his second at-bat made the score 6-0. He went deep off rookie Casey Legumi na in the sixth for the rst multi-homer game of his career. “I’m barely getting these balls over, so I wouldn’t call it power,” Walls said, smil ing. “I just happen to pull them to the right side of the balleld. That’s denitely not my game.” Lodolo (2-1) allowed four earned runs com bined in his rst three starts, but gave up eight on Tuesday. “He didn’t have a good feel for his breaking ball from what I could tell,” Reds manager David Bell said. “He doesn’t have a ton of experience in this league. We’ve seen him be very good. There’s no reason to believe he won’t come back from this.”Both sidesWalls became the fourth Rays player to homer from both sides of the plate, join ing Geoff Blum (May 4, 2004), Willy Aybar (Aug. 3, 2009) and Ben Zobrist (April 13, 2014). “The only other two-homer game that I can remember was when I was a junior (at Florida State), and I actually did one lefty and one righty,” Walls said.OuchRays shortstop Wander Franco underwent a root canal on Tuesday morn ing after playing through tooth pain a night earlier.

The Cavs pushed their lead to 29 in the fourth. Cleveland’s blowout ended with a hard foul. New York was still down 23 and playing its starters when Julius Randle was hit in the air by Cavs center Jarrett Allen on a dunk with 2:22 left.

Wearing a red woolen cap and a Bills blue pullover, Hamlin sat at the podium on Tuesday and said his heart – the one that stopped beating some four months ago during a game in Cin cinnati – was, as he put it, “still in the game.” “This was a life-changing event, but it’s not the end of my story,” Hamlin said. “I plan on making a come back to the NFL.” Addressing reporters for the rst time since going into cardiac arrest and hav ing to be resuscitated on the eld, Hamlin reected on the anxious moments he’s endured, his inner drive to not let fear stand in his way and how he no longer takes a minute of his life for granted. “The ‘wow’ moment is every day just being able to wake up and just take deep breaths and live a peaceful life, to have a family and people that are around me that love me,” said Hamlin, who has been medically cleared to play and is taking part in the start of the Bills’ voluntary workout program. “They almost lost me. Like I died on national TV, you know what I mean?” he added. “So that right there is the biggest blessing of it all, for me to still have my people, and my people still have me.” General manager Bran don Beane announced ear lier in the day that Hamlin was medically cleared to return to football after the 25-year-old met with a third and nal specialist on Friday. All three agreed Hamlin could resume play ing without any fear of setbacks or complications. While the Bills had their head athletic trainer sit in on those meetings, Beane said the team is following the lead of the specialists. “He’s such a great kid and has such a great family, and it’s exciting to go from a guy who was ghting for his life to now,” Beane said. “His story hasn’t been written. Now it’s about his comeback.” Hamlin said the spe cialists agreed his heart stopped as a result of com motio cordis, which is a di rect blow at a specic point in a heartbeat that causes cardiac arrest. His next steps will be no different from any other NFL player in his bid to se cure a roster spot. Hamlin will return to the eld when the team’s voluntary spring practices begin next month, followed by mandatory practices in June and then training camp in late July. His teammates were elat ed to see him back in the facility working out. “D-Ham is a special per son, a beautiful soul,” fel low safety Micah Hyde said. “I look up to him, es pecially how he’s bounced back after facing adversity. A little scary. But to see him well and in the building and move around a little bit, it gives you a little energy.” Hamlin’s recovery is per sonal to many who watched in shock as Hamlin col lapsed on the eld on a na tionally televised “Monday Night Football” game, but moreso for Beane. While the Bills returned home af ter the game initially was suspended and eventually canceled, Beane spent the rst four days at Hamlin’s side, including when he was awakened from a med-ically induced coma at the University Cincinnati Med ical Center. “It was all about his health, and it’s always go ing to be about his health,” Beane said. “But to truly, you know, however many months later be talking about he’s fully cleared is pretty remarkable. And I’m excited for him and his family for where they are on his journey.” Hamlin collapsed after making what appeared to be a routine tackle in the rst quarter of a Jan. 2 game against the Bengals. His collapse led to an out pouring of support from around the NFL and across North America, with do nations made to Hamlin’s charitable organization top ping more than $9 million.Damar Hamlin cleared to play, 4 months after cardiac arrest year contract.COLORADO ROCKIES — Recalled RHP Pe ter Lambert from Albuquerque (PCL).

Game 2 in the best-of-sev en series is Thursday night in Toronto. The Lightning beat the Ma ple Leafs in seven games at the same stage of the playoffs last spring on the way to their third consecutive Stanley Cup appearance. Meanwhile, Toronto is desperately look ing to end an ugly string of postseason failures that has seen the franchise fail to ad vance since 2004. The Maple Leafs have lost seven straight series dating to 2013, including six in a row with the talented core led by Matthews, Marner and Nylander. Toronto captain John Tavares has gone 0-5 since signing in 2018. The battle-tested Lightning, meanwhile, won the Stanley Cup in 2020 and 2021, before falling to the Colorado Ava lanche in last year’s champi onship round. Tampa opened the scoring just 1:18 into the rst period, quieting the raucous, tow el-waving crowd when Bel lemare scored on a rebound after Zach Aston-Reese couldn’t clear the puck. The Lightning made it 2-0 six minutes later when Cire lli buried a rebound on a scramble after Toronto gave the puck away in the neutral zone. Toronto started to push back, with Matthews show ing the most ght. But Tampa Bay took a three-goal lead with just 2.6 seconds remaining in the pe riod on a power play, when Kucherov beat Samsonov with a one-timer to the short side. Toronto got a goal back on a power play with O’Reilly scoring eight minutes into the second. Samsonov made a huge stop on Perry before Nyland er red through a screen on another man advantage to make it 3-2. Toronto defenseman Jake McCabe then levelled Mi chael Eyssimont, sending the Tampa center to the locker room before Point made it 4-2 on another power play moments later. Bunting match penalty and game misconduct all but ended Toronto’s hope for a comeback. Already minus Victor Hed man, who didn’t take a shift after the opening period, Tampa Bay managed to re store its three-goal lead when Perry jammed a puck in tight at Samsonov’s post two min utes before the intermission. The play stood after a To ronto challenge for goalten der interference, handing the Lightning a 5-on-3 power play. The Leafs survived that, but Point scored his second goal of the game with a tenth of a second remaining on the clock for a 6-2 margin. Toronto was booed off the ice at the intermission buzzer before Colton stretched the lead to ve goals on a break away seven minutes into the nal period. Jarnkrok got Toronto’s third goal. ——— Rangers 5, Devils 1 NEWARK, N.J. — Igor Shester kin stopped 27 shots, Chris Kreider scored two power-play goals New York stunned New Jersey in Game 1. Vladimir Tarasenko, Ryan Lind gren and Filip Chytil also scored for the Rangers. Adam Fox had four assists and Artemi Panarin had two in this seventh renewal of this river rivalry in the postseason, the first since 2012. BOLTSFrom page B1

In 1897, the first Boston Marathon was held; winner John J. McDermott ran the course in two hours, 55 min utes and 10 seconds. In 1943, during World War II, tens of thousands of Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto began a valiant but ultimately futile battle against Nazi forces. In 1993, the 51-day siege at the Branch Davidian com pound near Waco, Texas, ended as fire destroyed the structure after federal agents began smashing their way in; about 80 people, including two dozen children and sect leader David Koresh, were killed. In 1995, a truck bomb destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people. (Bomber Timothy McVeigh, who prosecutors said had planned the attack as revenge for the Waco siege of two years earlier, was convicted of federal murder charges and executed in 2001.) Five years ago: Raul Castro turned over Cuba’s presidency to Miguel Mario Diaz-Canel Bermudez, the first non-Cas tro to hold Cuba’s top govern ment office since the 1959 revolution led by Fidel Castro and his younger brother Raul. Democratic Sen. Tammy Duckworth of Illinois brought her 10-day-old daughter to the Senate floor one day after senators approved a new rule permitting it; Duckworth was the first senator to have given birth while serving in the Sen ate. Walter Leroy Moody, age 83, was executed by lethal injection in Alabama for the mail-bomb slaying of a feder al judge in 1989; Moody became the oldest prisoner put to death in the U.S. in modern times. Authorities in Minnesota ended their inves tigation into the death of music superstar Prince from an accidental overdose with out charging anyone in the case. One year ago: Russia assaulted cities and towns along a boomerang-shaped front hundreds of miles long and poured more troops into Ukraine in a pivotal battle for control of the country’s east ern industrial heartland of coal mines and factories.

The 60-year-old became the rst self-iden tied Asian to win the Academy Award for best actress for her performance as a laun dromat owner in “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” The movie won a total of seven awards, including best picture. Returning to her native Malaysia to cele brate her mother’s birthday, Yeoh said she felt a sense of relief after clinching the award. “It was a roller coaster ride that started last year when the movie rst came out. It was a whole year of not knowing, wanting, hoping, wishing,” she told a news conference. “During the journey, everyone was asking, ‘Do you want the Oscar?’ I said, hell, yes, of course I want the Oscar. Who doesn’t? I am not going to beat around the bush and say no because it represents so much to so many of us.” Yeoh reiterated that her Oscar victory was a “beacon of hope” for Asian women. “It shows us it can be done and all of you can do it,” she said. Yeoh, who started her career in Hong Kong before becoming a Hollywood star, said she was blessed to have been able to work on diverse movies and with “forward thinking lmmakers to ght for what I truly believe in – representation, diversity, especially em powerment of women.” She said she refuses to be boxed in stereotypical roles but believes in pushing the envelope in her career. While she has no interest in directing, she said she may branch out again as a producer. “Directors have no life. I love my life too much,” she said in jest. “I love producing. I have produced before and now I can start to do so again … now I am able to branch out more because people have started to listen, and appreciate what you can bring forward. As an actor, I love what I can do. I am so lucky to be able to say it’s not a job, it’s really a passion.” Yeoh said she will be heading back to Lon don to complete the lming of “Wicked,” a two-part movie adaptation of the hit Broad way musical directed by Jon Chu. She said she hopes to return to Asia in the next few months. “I am always looking for a challenge,” Yeoh said. “I believe there is so much to do in our part of the world. All of us collectively. Don’t isolate yourself. Don’t feel that I must always tell my story. We are collaborators, we are storytellers. Let’s work together and do great things.” Vincent Thian / AP Malaysian actress Michelle Yeoh holds up the Oscar statuette during a press conference in Kuala Lum pur, Malaysia, on Tuesday. Yeoh won the award for best performance by an actress in a leading role for “Everything Everywhere All at Once” at the Oscars on March 12.

A dozen or so players from LIV Golf already decided to pass by not entering. That includes Louis Oost huizen, a runner-up at Tor rey Pines in 2021 and at Chambers Bay in 2015. By not ling a U.S. Open entry, his only other avenue to Los Angeles Country Club is to win the PGA Championship next month. He currently is not in the PGA eld, and at No. 136 in the world, is not likely to get an invitation. Others who chose not to enter and who are well out side the top 100 in the world are Paul Casey, Charles Howell and Lee Westwood.

L & L CITRUS COUNTY CHRONICLE EDUCATION & HOMETOWN COMMUNITY NEWS FOR OUR AREA Section C WEDNESDAY, APRIL 19 , 2023 WHAT’S INSIDE TODAY?Chalk Talk ........... C3 Pet Rescue Adoptables . C2 Mini Page ............ C4 TV and More .......... C5 Comics .............. C6Be positive and stay confidentW ell, hello again. “Condence,” our positive word for this week, means to trust, to be secure and to have reassurance. Famed pianist, worldwide entertainer and fascinating showman Liberace said of condence: “One of the most important lessons I’ve learned is: Nobody will believe in you unless you believe in yourself rst. If a person doubts his ability, how can he con-vince others of his worth? I surround myself with positive-thinking people and try to remember that you al-ways keep topping yourself.” And topping himself he did splendidly on that long-ago day when I took a chartered bus trip with senior citizens to his concert at the Lake-land Civic Center. We can be condent as we go about our days along the volunteer path all around our community, moving forward to accomplish meet-ing the needs of others with the funding of our projects lovingly. We can live with assurance as we are open and receptive to the varied perspectives our community lead-ers are promoting for the good of all concerned. Condence is clearly our true self expressing when we offer our special talents and abilities wherever need-ed, whenever needed to lead a project or to roll up our sleeves and volunteer with Habitat for Humanity, sit with a homebound person while a care-giver runs errands, or deliver for Meals on Wheels. Take that trust step forward with condence and you’ll be blessed to be a blessing.VolunteersHPH Hospice is looking for volunteers to organize a Supplies Drive for the patients who are in need of clothing, hygiene items and personal comfort supplies.

RuthLevinsAround the Community During National Volunteer Month, this Ms. Florida shines By CLAIRE PHILLIPS LAXTONChronicle Correspondent April is National Volun teer Month, so it’s a perfect time to give a shout out to JanMarie Blinn Weston, the current Ms. Florida Ameri can Woman of Service 2023, a retired educator and an active volunteer. She has been a high school department head and besides teaching En glish and social studies, she taught computer literacy. She’s held some import ant positions and has won an array of awards over the years such as NEASC team member and department chair, administrator, Ms. Connecticut Senior Ameri ca Pageant 2022, Ms. Con necticut Senior America 2019 and Miss Connecticut Sunower Elite 2022. She was also awarded Teacher of the Year in 1981, got her master’s degree, TESOL 1981 (Central Con necticut State University), a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1979 at the University of Connecticut and ARC Li brary Media Specialist Cer tication in 2009. Blinn Weston is no strang er to volunteer service. She was a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer (RPCV). “After graduating from the University of Connecti cut in 1979, I joined the Peace Corps and was a vol-unteer in Lesotho in south ern Africa,” said Blinn Weston. “My job in Lesotho was or ganizing communi ty gardens as a way to improve nu trition,” she added. Later, back in the U.S., she became a high school teacher and librarian, where she taught English and social studies for 34 years before she retired and moved to Florida. “While teaching, I in volved my students in a va riety of volunteer opportu nities including the March of Dimes and Save the Rainforest,” she recalled. When she was 55, she lost 75 pounds with Weight Watchers and entered her rst pageant. She’s been married to Thomas Weston for the past 39 years and they have two children – Matthew and Gregory. Today, she lives in Ho mosassa and is a volun teer with the Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge (CRNWR) as an inter preter on the boardwalk of Three Sisters Springs and does Manatee Watch. She said, “People are in awe of how gentle and graceful they are.” Blinn Weston is also a volunteer with Save Crys tal River’s Books, Line and Thinkers, a fth-grade program teaching students about cleaning up the Crys tal River and planting Rock Star eel grass. She learned through other volunteers about the First Reader Program and she became a Celebrity Read er, visiting area elementary schools to read to pre-K and kindergarten classes. “Being back in the class room reading to children is so much fun,” she said. Blinn Weston is very in volved as a volunteer. It’s a passion and a way of life with her. She has been a speaker and volunteer with Wreaths Across America, has volun teered with Suncoast Har mony Chorus/Sweet Ade lines, Homosassa Library volunteer, belongs to the Elks Club, collected books for the Salvation Army child care program, made radio PSA’s for the Amer ican Heart Association, worked with Scholastic Books to have 1,000 books donated to the Channel 3 Kids Camp, Bike Walk Photos Special to the Chronicle Blinn Weston’s volunteering has been the thrust for her to rep resent the state of Florida as Ms. Florida Senior in the American Woman of Service Pageant 2023 that will be in Portland, Maine, this June.Homosassa resident dedicates herself to service BLINN WESTONA season of renewed hopeW e have reached that time of year when nally, our hopes are satised. We have dreamt of bet-ter days, of an end to our doubts, of some sense of certainty and security. Whatever your beliefs, the coming days offer us respite from calamity. For Christians, Easter represents re-newed hope. There is life after death. We can emerge from our fears into the light once more. I tap into my own life experience when I contemplate the never-end-ing cycle of living. I long for things to occur on a constantly improving continuum, but life has never granted my wish. Instead, it has been a series of hurdles I have had to con-front, then attempt to tackle. As I have aged, more of those closest to me have suc-cumbed to death – my parents, my brother, my sister from ALS four years ago, and now, most recently, my husband, Peter, from a four-year battle with Lewy Body Dementia. I am left alone – a widow, with only my faith to keep me aoat. From my earliest years, thankfully, I have been blessed with faith, believing in something I will never fully comprehend, yet seeing signs every-where of resurrection and redemption. My own sobriety of over 28 years is a mir-acle in and of itself. No outside intervention but God’s voice consoling me and encouraging me to get help. My ears were open to his voice, I followed his advice, and here I am, close to three decades later, knowing, full well, but for the grace of God, I would not be alive today. Living in gratitude is the only way, day by day. During my darkest moments, my faith buoys me. There is hope. There is a plan. I don’t need to know it all, or be a “know it all.” I simply need to know God loves me as he loves all of us. I may feel alone, but God is with me now, in my grief, even as he was with me that November morning, 28 years ago. His resurrection is a concrete sign there is life after death. As I stand at my husband’s graveside, I am comforted that Peter is nally free from the anxiety and worries which plagued him during his illness. He knows how much I miss him and feel his absence daily. But in a strange way, I also feel his presence. That is the hand of God allowing my memories to ood back in the blossoms of nature itself. The signs of rebirth are all around us. We simply have to open our eyes and absorb the detail. I see faith in much the same way. I have heard de tractors call it a crutch. If so, I’ll take two please. For I know my life would be meaningless without it. My limbs are, quite simply, not that strong.

Citrus County Chronicle Wednesday, April 19, 2023 C3 By DEBBIE ROBITAILLE Special to the ChronicleR aise your hand if you can still remember your favorite nursery rhyme from childhood! While they may seem like silly little rhymes that have no reason, these vers es are very important to helping your child develop a strong vocabulary and a strong base for when they begin reading.Phonetic awareness and language acquisitionChildren learn to talk by listening. Nursery rhymes are a fun way to incorpo rate talking and listening. Your child will listen to different sounds of the words as you recite or read nursery rhymes. Listening comprehension precedes reading comprehension.Story comprehensionStories have a begin ning, a middle, and an end. Nursery rhymes tell a story too. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end in a short amount of time. Toddlers have a short attention span. Most nursery rhymes are thirteen seconds long.Dramatic playChildren may know and do the hand gestures to nursery rhymes like Itsy Bitsy Spider and Pat-a-cake. Five Little Monkeys and Five Little Ducks also lend themselves to dramatic play. A child who cannot yet verbalize the nursery rhymes can listen and join along with the hand gestures.Introducing conceptsNursery rhymes like Five Little Monkeys and Five Little Ducks can introduce addition and subtraction. Nursery rhymes can bridge concepts and comprehen sion. It is a fun song for the child and it will help when math is introduced. “Experts in literacy and child development have discovered that if children know eight nursery rhymes by heart by the time they’re 4 years old, they’re usually among the best readers by the time they’re eight,” writes Mem Fox, author of “Hattie and the Fox.” All ve branches of the Citrus County Library Sys tem offer fun early literacy programs. For our youngest readers you could attend Books & Babies at 10 a.m. Monday to Thursday at dif ferent branches. Then, for toddlers and preschoolers we offer Little Learners at 11 a.m. Monday to Thurs day at different branches. We would love for you and your littles to join us at one of these special story times! Check out the online calendar at attend.citrus libraries.org/events, or you can call or visit your nearest branch to learn about the programs offered there. If you’re looking to stay in-the-know about all things happening at your nearest branch, you can follow @CitrusLibraries on Facebook and Insta gram.

By MARCIA BEASLEY Special to the ChronicleC itrus groves have been cultivated in the Floral City area since the mid-1800s. They have been frozen out a couple of times and they have been owned by colorful characters such as “Doc” Ferris. Hear more during the “Snippet of History” period at the Spring Quarterly Meeting of the Floral City Heritage Council. The gathering will be held on Tuesday, April 25, in the Floral City Community House located in the Town Center. Members and guests will share a Pitch-In-Supper at 7 p.m. where a favorite dish will be shared, drinks furnished and diners will bring their own plates and tableware. At 7:30 p.m., the public is welcome to attend the Snippet of History, “A Juicy History of Floral City’s Citrus” presented by Tom Ritchie. He is a charter member of the Floral City Heritage Council and last year became the Director of the Floral City Heritage Museum after scaling back his travels. For over 40 plus years, Tom has been leading expe ditions and research teams for Linblad Expeditions and its partner the National Geographic Society. During that time he has applied his degrees in zoology, verte brate paleontology, geology and physical anthropology, as he explored the some of the most remote and exotic locations in the world. Similar to many Floral City residents, Tom’s rst drive through the village with its century-old oaks and rural old Florida homes attracted him to “hit the brakes” and nd a Realtor. That was in 1977 and he has lived in the same house on Lake Consuela ever since. From this advantage, he has honed his knowledge of local history and enthusiastly shares it. In anticipation of this Snippet of History, Ritchie and his wife, Paulette, recently decked out their red 1939 Ford truck with lots of oranges and citrus braches to participate in the Floral City “14 Decades of History Parade” at the Spring into History event the end of March. Heritage Council Chair Terri Hartman will be shar ing a video from that Parade at the dinner and at the meet ing following Ritchie, she will be leading a discussion about plans for future activ ities and civic improvement projects. At the meeting, the Mu seum “Country” Store will have a selection of the new Tee Shirts and commemora tive pewter medallions cele brating the 140th Anniversa ry of the lay-out and survey of Floral City in 1883. These and many more Floral City items are available in the Floral City Heritage Museum open, free of charge, every Friday and Saturday from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm and located in the Town Center.

C4 Wednesday, April 19, 2023 Citrus County Chronicle Celebrating Our Planet Mini Fact:The Earth’s surface is mainly water. Next Week: King Charles’ coronation Do you do special things to help our planet? Perhaps you have helped planttrees or pick up trash. The rst Earth Day, on April 22, 1970, helped change the world for the better. The Mini Page celebrates this special day by showing how the world’s people started to care for our planet.People wake up For hundreds of years, some people have been concerned about the environment. They called this concern conservation . They were worried about conserving, or saving, our resources. But until Earth Day, these conservationists were in the minority. Most people didn’t start to think much about the environment until the 1960s. In 1962, a scientist, Rachel Carson, published a book called “Silent Spring.” She caught everyone’s attention with her accounts of birds dying from pesticides. She warned that people were in danger too. Fragile planet During the 1960s, people were ghting for change. Many were ghting for civil rights for women and minorities, and against the war in Vietnam. A series of events came together to change this view. In the 1960s, astronauts took pictures of the Earth from space. The sight of our blue planet alone in the darkness of space made people think. For the rst time, everyone could see how fragile our home was. Growing concernsIn 1969, there was a huge oil spill in Santa Barbara, California. It killed thousands of birds, animals, sh and plants. That same year, a river in Ohio was so polluted that it caught on re. Concern about the Earth grew. President Richard Nixon and Congress passed an important act to help gure out how to x the environment. Wisconsin Sen. Gaylord Nelson visited Santa Barbara and saw how people had organized to clean up the oil spill. He thought it was possible to organize the nation to clean up our planet.Being part of the changeOne of the best things we can do to understand the environment is to go outside. Many students across the country are helping turn their schools green. They are doing everything from raising money for solar panels for their schools to changing the lightbulbs to energy-saving bulbs.Kids lead the wayDuring the 1960s, there were many protests against the Vietnam War. On college campuses, these were called “teach-ins.” Sen. Gaylord Nelson thought people could have a teach-in for the whole country at once. This rally would teach people about the environment. He recruited Denis Hayes to organize the rst Earth Day. Denis was enrolled at Harvard University. He asked thousands of volunteers, mostly students, to plan events to be held all over the country. Organizers picked April 22 because in 1970, most colleges were on spring break on that date. This meant college kids would be able to work at the Earth Day events. Hayes and student volunteers got the word out by mailings and phonecalls. (There was no internet to spreadthe message to a lot of people at once.) More than 20 million Americanstook part in that rst Earth Day. Fifty-three years later, we still celebrate Earth Day in many ways! Words that remind us of Earth Day are hidden in this puzzle.

Citrus County Chronicle Wednesday, April 19, 2023 C5A & P Conversations about Down syndrome feel awkwardDEAR AMY: Our family has/had three members with Down syndrome; my youngest sister was born with DS in 1968, and passed away in 2016. I have a cousin with the condition, and my daughter and her husband have a son (our grandson) with Down syndrome. I’ve been involved in the Down syndrome commu-nity for many years. I have a teaching degree in spe-cial education and was a special education educator for years. Even with a greater socially open acceptance, I still experience social awkward-ness when the topic of DS comes up. Although I am perfectly comfort-able chatting with others about Down syn-drome, I don’t know how to handle situa-tions when others are uncomfortable. When meeting someone for the rst time, if I mention that we have a grandson with DS, the other person often looks like a “deer caught in the headlights.” They don’t know how to respond, and the conversation quickly becomes awk-ward and uncomfortable. I could choose not to say anything in the rst place, but then avoiding the obvious can also be uncomfortable. It’s hard to know if the other person would like to know more, or if they are anxious to change the subject. Sometimes, if I encounter a person with DS and their family, I would love to ap-proach them and say “Hi,” perhaps com-ment or ask questions if they seem at all receptive – but I often have a problem get-ting a feel for that, too. Your thoughts? – Tongue-tied in DenverDEAR TONGUE-TIED: Although one of my favorite family members was born with Down syndrome, I approach your question with an awareness that is far less intimate than yours. And just as you and I are likely very different from one another, no two neurodi-vergent people are alike, either. You should ask yourself what you are looking for in a response from other neu-rotypical people. Would you like them to say, “Oh, that’s interesting,” ask about your grandson’s schooling, or ask, “What’s that like for you?” My overall point is that if someone I’m meeting for the rst time tells me that their grandchild has curly red hair, is a musical prodigy, (or rides horses, or is hiking the Appalachian Trail), I’m most likely to as-sume that same darting eye look, because without further context, a speci c response doesn’t necessarily spring to mind. Not knowing what to say doesn’t always mean that people are uncomfortable. Sometimes it simply means that they’re processing a statement with no relatable context attached. If you love someone with Down syndrome (as I do), you will be drawn to others with Down. In that case, you should communi-cate your own friendliness directly to that person, and if they have family members or friends with them, you can gauge their will-ingness to interact with you by being open about your own family members. DEAR AMY: My boyfriend of four years (we live together) doesn’t know when my birthday is and can’t understand why he should even care about it. He quips, “Some-times I don’t even know my own birthday.” When I said I thought it was strange that he didn’t care to know my birthdate, he accused me of “trying to start a ght.” It seems that if it isn’t about HIM, he isn’t interested. Am I being too sensitive? – In the Dark DEAR IN THE DARK: I have often remarked on how important I believe birth-days to be, because this is a day when others are invited to acknowledge and cel-ebrate your very existence. In balanced relationships, partners actually look for opportunities to celebrate one another, because (sel shly speaking) it feels good! Yes, I agree that it is “strange” that your guy doesn’t claim to even want to know the date of your birth (this can be vital in-formation that he might need to supply in case of an emergency). DEAR AMY: “Sad and Suffering” was upset because her partner did not cancel spring break plans with his grandchildren to stay home with her while she was on chemo. She made it sound like he had abandoned her in her hour of need but Amy, spring break only lasts for one week. So for that one week, her daughter stepped in to help. Judging by her expectations, maybe he needed that one week away. – M in Ithaca, NY DEAR M: “Sad and Suffering” was panicking over a cancer diagnosis. Perhaps she felt abandoned because of the way her partner was responding to her fears, overall. Regardless, many readers agree with you.

She feels it’s an honor to use her time and talents to volunteer for worthy causes and loves being engaged in her community. “Wearing a crown on your head and a sash across your body seems to open doors,” she said. The pageant’s focus is “vol unteering” and for her that focus is saving the manatees and the environment, besides getting more seniors involved in volunteer activities. Many county volunteer positions are on the AmeriCorps web site, she noted. To help sponsor Blinn Weston in the upcoming pag eant, schedule an appearance or to learn more about the pag eant, contact her at AWOST FLor-idasenior2023@aol.com. VOLUNTEERFrom page C1 Acknowledging our needs and praying to the heavens for guidance is hardly an act of cowardice. I call it courage. Faith has given me this and I would wish it for everyone. To embrace the words, “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven.” Gratitude for the renewal of hope our faith bestows upon us, especially during this new season. If we could use a visual re minder of God’s benevolence, a nature walk among the sprouting of new life might do us all the world of good right about now. Not to be forgotten, we extend prayers to those left homeless and bereft from recent tornadoes, oods and acts of senseless violence. God will see them through the storm as surely as their faith sustains them. That is the promise Easter fullls for all of us. Lynne Farrell Abrams has a bachelor’s degree in communica tion.
