A4Beverly Hills Coping with Dementia Conference draws hundreds By FRED HIERS Chronicle Reporter Taking care of a loved one with dementia is not easy, and often frustrating, and many times not rewarding. It’s not the kind of work most of us are prepared for, said Eileen Poiley, director of education at the Byrd In stitute at the University of South Florida. That was part of the mes sage keynote speaker Poiley gave to more than 200 peo ple attending the ninth an nual Coping with Dementia Conference Thursday, held at the Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church. Also at tending were more than 30 vendors offering health care services, education, and products geared toward the elderly and caregivers to those with dementia. Poiley gave the audience, many of whom were care givers to family members with dementia, an over view of what their caretaker job entailed and what they could expect. Your role as a caretaker focuses on three issues, she said. QMaintaining your loved one’s health QEnsuring their safety QTrying to provide a good quality of life. Overseeing the health of a dementia family member means “you become the supervisor” of everything health related, she said. That means doctors’ ap pointments, ensuring they take their medications, mak ing sure they keep their re lationship with their health care providers so when they need new medicines or care, they won’t have to wait. “You have to make sure you are an advocate,” she told the audience, and many Groundwork begins for next phase of parkway By MICHAEL D. BATES Chronicle Reporter The initial ground work for the next phase of the Suncoast Park way extension has be gun. Kerry French, spokes man for the Florida De partment of Transpor tation (FDOT) said the property just east of the Pine Ridge entrance along County Road 486 is being cleared of vegetation, brush and trees. That will take about three weeks, after which site grading will begin. French said the FDOT will schedule an up coming formal event heralding the start of the three-mile extension to State Road 44. Construction will in clude a continuation of the Suncoast Trail, part of Florida’s Statewide Greenways and Trails System. The entire extension from County Road 486 to the existing terminus at State Road 44 should take about three years, according to FDOT. County Commissioner Rebecca Bays said the parkway timeline has been fast-tracked for completion. “This can be a great opportunity for Citrus County if we plan prop erly, and I feel that this commission and admin istration are working hard to get ahead of the curve,” Bays said. “The goal is to max imize the benets by Construction has started on the latest portion of the Suncoast Parkway at the corner of West Pine Ridge Boulevard and West Norvell Bryant Highway in Crystal River. Once complete, the road will connect to State Road 44, the current terminus of the parkway.Extension from C.R. 486 to S.R. 44 should be done by 2026 Photos by Matthew Beck / Chronicle photo editor Heavy equipment moves dirt Tuesday, April 18, along County Road 486 in Crystal River.

IN BRIEF Commission to address regional impacts on local roads By MICHAEL D. BATES Chronicle Reporter County Commissioner Rebecca Bays in February met with Florida Depart ment of Transportation (FDOT) ofcials to discuss trafc concerns generated from growth outside Cit rus County. Some of the results of that meeting will show up at Tuesday’s Citrus Coun ty Commission meeting when staff will make a pre sentation on regional trafc and road impacts. As Citrus County grows, population increases and puts a burden on existing roads. “This growth is creating a burden on the existing road way network to the extent that many of the larger ar terial roads, some of which are evacuation routes, fail several times a day or week,” according to Public Works Director Mary Jen sen. For example, Interstate 75 and U.S. 18 routinely fail due to trafc volume in and around Gainesville, Ocala, Pasco County and Spring Hill, according to Jensen. As a result, she said, motorists are seeking or being redirected to alter native routes such as U.S. 41, State Road 200, State Road 44 and County Roads 491,486 and 488 in Citrus County. Those roads in turn are creating capacity issues. One recommendation that will be broached Tuesday is for Citrus County to contin ue to seek funding for State Road 44 and Turkey Oak Drive intersection improve ments. Much of the trafc from the Suncoast Parkway is headed west to Crystal River. Will Watts, FDOT assis tant secretary for engineer ing and operations, has agreed to evaluate trafc impacts on those roads. The commission meeting will begin at 1 p.m. Tues day, April 25, at the Citrus County Courthouse, 110 North Apopka Ave. in In verness. Michael D. Bates is a staff writer with the Citrus County Chronicle and can be reached at mbates@chronicleonline.com.Presentation is Tuesday during BOCC meeting BAYSStudents learn dangers of vaping, drugs By GEORGIA SULLIVAN Chronicle Reporter “Ewwwing” at a real pig’s lung and “awwwing” as it was lled with air, Lecan to Primary’s fth-graders learned about the harm ful effects that vaping and smoking have on healthy lungs and the body Thurs day, April 20. In collaboration with the Citrus County Anti-Drug Coalition, the Florida Na tional Guard gave its Night Vision Prevention Program interactive presentation to Citrus County fth-grad ers at Hernando Elemen tary and Lecanto Primary schools this week. The National Guard trav els around Florida to differ ent schools, teaching young students about the dangers of gateway drugs, protective and risk factors, and tools to assist students and their communities against drug misuse. The hope is that ad dressing alcohol, prescrip tion drugs, marijuana and tobacco at a young age will help prevent these students from abusing them later in life. This same approach is be ing taken at Citrus County Schools as well with the Matthew Beck / Chronicle photo editor Lecanto Primary School students react to the sight of an exhibit depicting what cancerous lungs look like Thursday afternoon, April 20 during a Florida National Guard Counterdrug Team’s Evidence Informed Night Vision Prevention Program.

That means caregivers need to be in the room when the person with dementia is seeing their doctor, in the ER room when being cared for because of a medical emergency, and with them when health care profes-sionals provide care. The two biggest safety issues for most dementia patients is driving, when to stop, and proper use of med-ications, she said. Driving a car takes multiple skills, and not just utiliz-ing memory. It involves decision making, judgment, sequencing actions, processing infor-mation quickly, attention to several issues at once, Poi-ley said. These are all mental abilities that decline because of dementia, she said. Most caregivers hesitate taking away the keys to the car, because itÂ’s like taking away someoneÂ’s indepen-dence, Poiley said, but it has to be done before someone gets hurt, not afterward. When it comes to medications, dementia causes short-term memory loss. And that means the dementia patient will forget they took their medications and often double up, or forget to take any of their pills. People with dementia are also prone to falls, many times due to depth percep-tion problems. Logical thinking and reasoning also dwindle because of dementia. That results in making it harder to do things most of us take for granted, such as walking up and down steps and gaging the depth and width of each step. Wandering is also a potential hazard, Poiley said. And while the loved one may not wander in the tra-ditional sense, they might in other ways, such as be-ing unable to estimate the amount of time thatÂ’s passed if you leave the house, thinking that they still mow the yard, or thinking they need to pick up their chil-dren at the bus stop. “You donÂ’t know where they are in their mind,” Poi-ley said. When trying to provide a good quality of life, remem-ber people with dementia “live in the moment,” so make those moments good and itÂ’s OK if they later for-get, she said. DonÂ’t push them to remember if they canÂ’t re-member, Poiley warned the audience. “There are two realities,” she said. “ThereÂ’s your real-ity and the dementia reality. Learn to live in the reality of dementia reality.” “DonÂ’t argue, donÂ’t correct. YouÂ’re not going to win. YouÂ’re not going to convince them,” she said. “So make the moments better,” she said. “Emotion-al safety (for the person with dementia) is feeling safe and being in the right place, doing the right thing.” Dennis Amadore, 73, was one of those who came to the conference. HeÂ’s a retired Real Estate agent. His wife was diag-nosed six years ago with de-mentia. The couple moved to Citrus County from Day-tona Beach. He brought his wife and sister-in-law to the conference. “ThatÂ’s when she disappeared and this other person took her place,” he told the Chronicle of the disease. “She looks like my wife, she kind of acts like my wife.” He admits adjusting to his wifeÂ’s care wasnÂ’t easy. “At rst it hit me hard,” he said when his wife showed symptoms and then de-clined. He became angry a lot with their situation. But heÂ’s changed and makes her safety his prior-ity. “Rather than get mad,” he said, these were things we had to overcome.” Fred Hiers is a reporter at the Citrus Chronicle.

In December, the state announced the extension of the Suncoast Parkway all the way to U.S. 19 had been fully funded, an amount totaling close to $600 million. The extension from State Road 44 to U.S. 19 will still be done in segments. After the phase from State Road 44 to County Road 486 is completed, it will move from County Road 486 to County Road 495 (Citrus Avenue), with the last leg from County Road 495 to U.S. 19 pro-grammed for construction from 2026 to 2028. When completed, the parkway is expected to move traf c faster and easier through Citrus County and enhance hurri-cane evacuations. To keep track of the progress, visit www.Suncoast2.com. Michael D.

PARKWAYFrom page A1 Elementary, spread through-out our other schools rap-idly,” said Lindsay Blair, spokeswoman for Citrus County Schools. “Please understand that the school administration, along with our partners at the SheriffÂ’s Of ce, worked very quick-ly to investigate the threat to ensure students and staff were safe at all schools.” This is the second threat made against a school in Citrus County this month. At this time, no charges have been led for the inci-dent at Seven Rivers Chris-tian School on April 14, per a CCSO spokesperson. “We want to remind all families and students that it is against our Code of Con-duct to threaten the safety of any of our schools at any time,” said Blair. “If a student is caught making a violent threat or causing a distur-bance in school, that student will be fully prosecuted.” Anyone with any information related to this investiga-tion should contact CCSOÂ’s non-emergency line at 352-248-2790, crime stoppers at 1-888-ANY-TIPS or relay the information to school administration.

Citrus County Chronicle Friday, April 21, 2023 A5Church and State should remain separateThe First Amendment literally states, “Congress shall make no law respect-ing an establishment of reli gion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” If your house of worship is combining poli-tics and religion, it should pay taxes. The real wall that should be built in the United States is between church and state.Trump made trips tooThe sound off criticizing President BidenÂ’s recent trip to Ire-land; I wonder if the caller is aware that Trump visited Scotland as President in 2018? This is the birthplace of his mother. Also, during his presidency, he visited his personal properties over 500 times. I hope the caller was equally outraged over these trips.Let me get this straight So let me get this straight, in Florida you can carry a rearm in public without a permit, but if a woman is raped, she needs to show her rape papers to get an abortion. Ron DeSantis must never, ever be allowed to be president.Democrat-run citiesReading a post here that says they want to defund the police and justice re-forms and all that in Dem-ocrat cities. Fifty percent of children killed by guns, 40 percent of the victims were black, 83 percent were boys. And this is basically all in Democratic-run cit-ies. YouÂ’re getting what you voted for.What is truly more traumatizing?I am struggling to understand why so many people think it is harmful for our children to see anything about LGBTQ in our schools or learn about anything that may be considered “woke,” but active shooter training is mandated because we donÂ’t seem to be able to do any-thing to prevent disturbed people from having guns, attacking our schools and killing our children. What do you really think is more traumatizing to our kids?Trump shouldnÂ’t be allowed backIÂ’d like to know how Trump can get back in the ofce because he was impeached twice. This isnÂ’t right, he shouldnÂ’t be able get back in there. You got Clinton that was impeached. You have Johnson that was impeached. They never ran again for presi-dent. How can this man do that? It isnÂ’t right.Feature the Rays moreThis is a call in regard to Sunday, April 16, Chron-icle. IÂ’d like to know why the Chronicle gives a half page spread on the front of the sports section regarding the recent Rays losses. While they had their 13-game winning streak, you hardly featured it, and it was mostly tucked in the inside of the sports section. Believe it or not, not all baseball fans love the Yan-kees or the Red Sox, which arenÂ’t doing that great this year anyway. Some of us like to root for our Florida team the Rays.DonÂ’t muck it upThis Sound Off is about illegal drugs. Nothing is more pristine than a walk at sunrise or just waking to a new day with the chance to improve oneself. So, donÂ’t muck it up.Frivolous presidential trips need to stopIn the Sunday, April 16, paper, thereÂ’s a sound off titled, “On your dime, not ours,” and itÂ’s about BidenÂ’s trip to Ireland. The writer is asking whoÂ’s paying for it, Biden or us? I can assure you; weÂ’re paying for it. Air Force One took them on the trip and itÂ’s not cheap for a whole aircraft to go to Ireland. While weÂ’re having difculty with gas prices, Air Force One is taking him to Ireland. This is not the only president that has done that. I remember clearly that ObamaÂ’s daughters took Air Force One to Hawaii to celebrate birthdays and they took their friends. This kind of nonsense has got to stop. If itÂ’s not an ofcial visit, they should either pay for themselves or donÂ’t go. IÂ’m sick and tired of paying the high gas prices while this kind of nonsense is going on.DeSantis and Biden donÂ’t compareThereÂ’s a sound off that is comparing BidenÂ’s trip to Ireland with DeSantis going to Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, California and New York. And itÂ’s critical of both of these guysÂ’ trips. Well, I can understand DeSantis going to those places to prepare for his campaign. ThereÂ’s no campaigning effort going on in Ireland. People in Ireland do not vote in our presidential elections. The two do not compare.We did see this growth comingThis is about Mike WrightÂ’s commentary, April 16, “No one saw all this growth coming.” Really? If the ChronicleÂ’s computer keeps track of Sound Offs, go back eight or ten years. Warnings were written about the growth that plagues us now. “Oh, theyÂ’re just complainers” was the attitude.What happened to ‘Free State of FloridaÂ’?Can anyone remember the last time they heard the governor use the term “the Free State of Florida”? Neither can I.Agreed, we need stronger leadershipIÂ’m calling about a Sound Off from Sunday, April 13, where the caller says the country needs stronger leadership and Biden, Trump and DeSantis are poor choices. I totally agree, and I think a large majority of voters in this country also agree.Missing the point on Monkey IslandRegarding Monkey Island, I think what people are really missing is the fact that the structure has to align with standards for animal enclosures in a zoo type of way. So, there are requirements that have to be met. That is why the heating and air condition-ing is going in there and the little monkeys deserve it. ItÂ’s gotten so much hotter here in Florida and itÂ’s such a good investment. The monkeys draw in tourists. The tourists bring money. ItÂ’s a win-win.Hypocrisy about BidenHereÂ’s couple of ques tions for the person complaining in Sound Off about Biden going to Ire land on the governmentÂ’s dime. Did you complain this much when Trump ew to check up on his golf course? Did you complain when Trump took Air Force One to Florida every weekend to play golf? If you didnÂ’t complain about those things, you should possibly look up the mean ing of “hypocrisy.”The mats for our roadsWhen Ruthie Schlabach suggested using mats to re-pair our roads, I could only think one thing. Which one of our county commission-ers or their friends have a couple hundred stored in a barn somewhere?Enjoying these monkey Sound OffsI have to say IÂ’m getting a real kick out of these anti-Monkey Island air conditioning letters. It has really put a bee in some peopleÂ’s bonnet, and IÂ’m actually enjoying it. A person who called said they grew up in Connecticut and the dogs and cats lived outside. I hope they didnÂ’t live outside during the winter, too, because I bet some froze to death. Then they go on about “thatÂ’s not the way itÂ’s meant to be” and this and that about the monkeys. Well, I doubt this woman is an animal expert, so IÂ’ll take her opinion here with a grain of salt.We should look into itWow, the Monkey Island business deal is a perfect ex ample of political dealings the people hate. The whole thing stinks. Citrus County voters should demand a call for forensic examination. Any Citrus County ofcials elected or appointed, their families or businesses that have gained anything nan cially from this should be forced to resign.Post Office wonÂ’t deliver my mailI recently moved from Citrus to Hillsborough County six months ago. I still have not received any mail. No mail was ever for-warded to my new address. Constantly called, still no results, and the Post Ofce is now going to raise their rates. Six months and still waiting. SOUND OFFCALL 563-0579 Atime-honoredcommunitytradition! Sharethenewsofyouranniversarywith ourkeepsakeprintannouncements.

A celebration of life will be scheduled later this year. Richard Riordan, former L.A. mayor, has died at 92 By JOHN ANTCZAK and MICHAEL R. BLOOD Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Rich ard Riordan, a wealthy Republican businessman who served two terms as Los Angeles mayor and steered the city through the Northridge earthquake and the recovery from the deadly 1992 riots, has died. He was 92. “Mayor Richard Riordan loved Los Angeles, and de voted so much of himself to bettering our city,” May or Karen Bass said in a statement late Wednesday. “I extend my deepest con dolences to all who loved and looked up to Mayor Riordan. May he rest in peace.” A statement from Ri ordanÂ’s family, dated Wednesday, announced the death of a “beloved hus band, father, grandfather and uncle.” The statement said he died at his home in the Los Angeles neighbor hood of Brentwood “sur rounded by his wife Eliz abeth, family, friends and precious pet dogs.” There was no immediate word on the cause of death. Riordan, a moderate who made a fortune as an invest ment broker, has the distinc tion of being the last Repub lican mayor in what is now a solidly Democratic city. As mayor, Riordan gained a national reputa tion as an affable municipal leader who was scornful of government bureaucracy. He was sometimes prone to verbal gaffes, but they seemed to endear him to many residents of a city of ten indifferent to the scrum of local politics. He surprised even long time colleagues when, already past 60, he aban doned his private sector success in 1993 to run for mayor as an outsider. Riordan said he saw the need for leadership in a city still shaken by the 1992 riot that followed the acquittal of white ofcers in the videotaped beating of Rodney King, a Black motorist. He ran on a promise that he was “Tough Enough to Turn L.A. Around.” He spent $6 million of his own money on the campaign, beating City Councilman Michael Woo in the non partisan election to replace retiring Mayor Tom Brad ley. “My fellow Angelenos, the time has come for all of you to take part in the healing of our great city,” Riordan said as he took the oath of ofce in 1993. He soon faced another major challenge when the Jan. 17, 1994, Northridge earthquake struck the city, causing numerous deaths and extensive destruction. “In the wake of the Northridge earthquake, Mayor Riordan set the standard for emergency action – he reassured us and delivered a response with an intensity that still pushes us all to be faster and stronger amidst crisis,” Bass said. Riordan turned back a challenge by state Sen. Tom Hayden, the former student radical and ex-hus band of Jane Fonda, to win a second term in 1997. City Council President Paul Krekorian credited Ri ordan with reshaping down town, leaving a lasting im print in the cityÂ’s core. “He drove the long-de layed completion of Disney Concert Hall, presided over the restoration of City Hall and rebuilt a library system that had been ravaged by budget cuts,” Krekorian said in a statement. And at a time when the city of nearly 4 million is losing population and struggling with an out-of-control homeless crisis and rising crime rates, Kreko rian said “in the Riordan years the city saw very real progress.” The Los Angeles Police Department tweeted that Ri ordan was “a true leader and champion for the people.” RiordanÂ’s long career also included serving 17 months as Gov. Arnold SchwarzeneggerÂ’s educa tion secretary. He was credited with playing a leading role in changing the City Charter to strengthen the power of the mayorÂ’s ofce, some thing he contended was necessary to create ac countability in Los Ange lesÂ’ decentralized system of government. He also helped elect reformers to the school board, a body over which he had no di rect control.Todd Haimes, who led theater company to Broadway, dies By MARK KENNEDY Associated Press NEW YORK — Todd Haimes, who led the Round about Theatre Company from an off-off-Broadway company teetering on the edge of bankruptcy into a major theatrical force with works on ve stages – in cluding three Broadway the aters – and dozens of Tony Awards, has died. He was 66. Haimes, the artistic direc tor and CEO of the nonprot Roundabout, died in New York City on Wednesday due to complications from cancer, according to Matt Polk, his longtime friend and spokesperson. “Rest in peace, Mr. Haimes,” actor Mark Ruffa lo, who starred in a Round about revival of “The Price” on Broadway in 2017, wrote on Twitter. “You were a won derful and kind soul. Thank you for the chance to work at the Roundabout with you. You will be missed on Broadway, the theater world, and the world at large.” Broadway shows under HaimesÂ’ 39-year tenure in clude “The Real Thing” with Ewan McGregor, “A Sol dierÂ’s Play” with David Alan Grier and “On the Twenti eth Century” with Kristin Chenoweth. Other triumphs include “The Humans,” the 2011 revival of “Anything Goes” with Sutton Foster and “Nine” with Jane Krakowski. Roundabout had a long, successful history with “Cab aret,” reviving it in 1998 with the Sam Mendes and Rob Marshall-directed version starring Alan Cumming and Natasha Richardson and then reviving it again with Cum ming and Sienna Miller in 2014. During HaimesÂ’s ten ure, Roundabout shows won 34 Tony Awards, 58 Drama Desk Awards, 73 Outer Crit ics Circle Awards, 21 Lucille Lortel Awards and 14 Obie Awards. Tributes on Twitter came from such theater royalty as Chenoweth, Jason Alexander and Audra McDonald. Cyn thia Nixon posted a photo of her and Haimes with the caption: “Todd paired the worldÂ’s sweetest demeanor with a killer sense of what to produce and how to pro duce it. IÂ’m awed by all you built for us but canÂ’t imagine Broadway without you here as part of it.” Haimes was a Yale MBA who was appointed Round about executive director in 1983 to a company that had been in Chapter 11 since 1977 and was evicted from its space on 23rd Street. By 1991, Haimes had Round about operating its own ven ue at its rst Broadway home at the now-closed Criterion Center at Broadway and 45th Street. The companyÂ’s early suc cesses include “Anna Chris tie” starring Liam Neeson and Richardson, and a reviv al of “She Loves Me,” both in 1993. He instituted the Early Curtain series in 1993, which saw 7 p.m. openings to at tract the after-work crowd. Roundabout grew to en compass the American Airlines Theatre, the Stu dio 54 theater, the Stephen Sondheim Theatre and the off-Broadway Laura Pels Theatre and another black box in the basement of the Pels. His leadership included outreach and education pro grams and also provided a home to emerging play wrights as part of the Round about Underground program. Alumni include Stephen Karam, Lindsey Ferrentino, Steven Levenson, Joshua Harmon and Ming Peiffer.DeSantis signs major death penalty change By JIM SAUNDERS News Service of Florida TALLAHASSEE — Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday signed a bill eliminating a requirement for unanimous jury recommendations be fore judges can impose death sentences. The new law took effect immediately and represents a major change in Flori daÂ’s death-penalty system. Lawmakers moved forward with the issue after Nikolas Cruz was sentenced to life in prison last year in the 2018 shooting deaths of 17 students and faculty mem bers at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. The life sentence came after a jury did not unanimously recommend death. The change affects only the sentencing process and not what is known as the “guilt phase” of murder cases. Juries will still have to be unanimous in nding defendants guilty before sentencing could begin. “Once a defendant in a capital case is found guilty by a unanimous jury, one juror should not be able to veto a capital sentence,” DeSantis said in a prepared statement Thursday. “IÂ’m proud to sign legislation that will prevent families from having to endure what the Parkland families have and ensure proper justice will be served in the state of Florida.” The change (SB 450) will allow death sentences to be imposed based on the recommendations of eight of 12 jurors. Judges would have discretion to sentence defendants to life in prison after receiving jury recom mendations of death. But in such instances, the judg es would have to explain in written orders their rea sons for deviating from the death-sentence recommen dations. As the bill moved through the Legislature, opponents questioned the constitution ality of the proposed change and pointed to a history of Florida Death Row inmates being exonerated after evi dence emerged in their cas es. Sen. Darryl Rouson, D-St. Petersburg, said last month that “unanimity is the right balance when death is the nal penalty.” “ItÂ’s hard to reverse an execution, and I think the current state of the law is sufcient,” Rouson said. The Senate voted 29-10 on March 30 to approve the bill. The House followed suit last week by passing it in an 80-30 vote. Florida long allowed judg es to impose death sentenc es based on majority jury recommendations. But that changed after decisions in 2016 by the U.S. Supreme Court and the Florida Su preme Court. In January 2016, the U.S. Supreme Court in a case known as Hurst v. Flori da, ruled that the stateÂ’s death-penalty system was unconstitutional. To try to carry out the ruling, the Legislature quickly passed a measure that required 10-2 jury recommendations be fore death sentences could be imposed. But in October 2016, in the similarly named case of Hurst v. State, the Flor ida Supreme Court inter preted and applied the U.S. Supreme Court ruling and said unanimous jury recom mendations were required. The Legislature responded in 2017 by putting such a unanimous requirement in law. After DeSantis took ofce in January 2019, he made appointments that created a conservative majority on the Florida Supreme Court. In 2020, the court reversed course and said unanimous jury recommendations were not needed – though the unanimous requirement re mained in law.Change will allow death sentences to be imposed by eight out of 12 jurors rrn r rnr rrrr rr Richard T.

Citrus County Chronicle Friday, April 21, 2023 A7Alimony overhaul clears Fla. Senate By DARA KAM News Service of Florida TALLAHASSEE — The Florida Senate on Wednes day approved a plan to re vamp the stateÂ’s alimony laws, taking another stab at a contentious issue that has led to vetoes of three similar bills over the past decade. After wrangling for years, The Florida BarÂ’s Family Law Section and supporters of overhauling the alimo ny system have given their blessing to this yearÂ’s pro posal. The bill would elim inate what is known as per manent alimony and create a formula for alimony pay ments based on the length of marriages. But one group that could be heavily affected by the pro posed changes – mostly older women who worked at home raising children and boosting their ex-spousesÂ’ careers be fore getting divorced – were left out of months-long nego tiations. “Good grief, weÂ’re a group of 3,000 women,” Camille Fiveash, a Milton woman who receives permanent al imony, told The News Ser vice of Florida in a phone interview shortly before the Senate voted 34-6 to pass the measure Thursday. “ItÂ’s a handful of men (calling for the overhaul), and they pan dered to them, the wealthy, and left us out of the negoti ations. We have some things to say, because it affects us. It may be worded very careful ly not to be unconstitutional, but it applies retroactively.” Fiveash is among mem bers of the “First Wives Ad vocacy” group who have traveled to Tallahassee for a decade to try to fend off leg islation. Permanent alimony payments are their primary source of income and with out it, Fiveash said, many women would be impover ished and, in some instances, homeless. But bill sponsor Joe Gruters, a Sarasota Repub lican who also shepherded similar legislation in the past, has maintained that the measure would not unconsti tutionally affect existing ali mony settlements, a concern raised by Gov. Ron DeSantis when he vetoed an alimony bill last year. Former Gov. Rick Scott twice vetoed sim ilar bills. “As you know, this has been a long journey. I think itÂ’s been vetoed three times. ItÂ’s been up, I think, 10 times over the past 15 years,” Gruters, an accountant, told senators Thursday. “The goal was to do two things: elimi nate permanent alimony and also to try to streamline the process and make it more predictable and try to create a formula-type thing that will make it so families can keep more of the assets that theyÂ’ve accumulated over the years.” Supporters said the bill (SB 1416) would codify into law a court decision in a 1992 divorce case that judges use as a guidepost when making decisions about retirement. Gruters thanked lobbyists Lisa Hurley, who represents the Family Law section of the Bar, and Nelson Diaz, who represents Florida Fam ily Fairness, a group that has spearheaded efforts to change the alimony system. “When we nally sat down together and worked out ev ery single issue in this bill, we nally had a bill that I think everybody, 95 percent of the population, agrees with,” Gruters said. This proposal still needs House approval. While seek ing to do away with perma nent alimony, it would set restrictions on other types of alimony. For example, the measure would impose a ve-year limit on “rehabilita tive” alimony. Also, alimony awards would be based on the du ration of the marriage and, with some exceptions, could not exceed the lesser of the alimony recipientÂ’s “reason able need” or 35 percent of the difference between the partiesÂ’ net incomes. Dura tional alimony could not be awarded for marriages that last less than three years. The bill also would allow people paying alimony to seek modications if “a sup portive relationship exists or has existed” involving their ex-spouses in the previous year. Critics argue the provi sion is vague and could ap ply to temporary roommates who help alimony recipients cover housing expenses for short periods of time. Sue Savage, a 62-year-old Naples woman who receives permanent alimony, said she is worried the proposed elimination of permanent al imony and restrictions on the length of durational alimony would strip her of income if her ex-husband seeks and is granted a modication to their settlement agreement. When asked how she would cope should her al imony be eliminated, Sav age told the News Service, “ThatÂ’s a good question. Sell my house and live in my car, I guess. IÂ’m hoping it will get vetoed.”Bill would eliminate permanent alimony, create formula based on the length of marriagesFla. lawmakers back plan targeting ‘ESGÂ’ investments By JIM TURNER News Service of Florida TALLAHASSEE — The Florida Senate on Wednes day gave nal approval to a bill that would prohibit investment strategies that Gov. Ron DeSantis has deemed “woke,” sending the issue to his desk. The Republican-con trolled Senate voted 28-12 along party lines to pro hibit consideration of “en vironmental, social and governance” standards in investing government money. The bill (HB 3), a priority of House Speak er Paul Renner, R-Palm Coast, passed the House last month. The bill also would pro hibit nancial institutions from engaging in any “un safe and unsound practice” or applying a “social credit score” when offering ser vices. They wouldnÂ’t be able to deny or cancel ser vices to people based on political opinions, aflia tion or speech. The measure would ex pand on a directive issued last year by DeSantis and state Cabinet members requiring investment de cisions in the Florida Re tirement System Dened Benet Plan to prioritize the highest returns without consideration of the stan dards known as “ESG.” Republi cans across the country have criti cized ESG as an “agen da-driv en” effort against in vestments in fossil fuels, arms manufacturers and prisons. Senate bill sponsor Erin Grall, R-Vero Beach, said the measure would require fund managers to “maxi mize nancial returns.” During questioning Tues day, Grall said the bill would require stateand local-gov ernment investment deci sions to be based “solely on pecuniary factors.” She called ESG “vague in how itÂ’s applied” and said invest ment practices shouldnÂ’t “sacrice returns on invest ment for the subjective pri orities and political agendas of large corporations, insti tutional investors and mon ey managers.” “Our decisions should be agnostic of the politics, so cial (and) ideological, and we should be making the best decisions based on the return for Floridians,” Grall added. The bill wouldnÂ’t stop fund managers from in vesting in companies that use such standards. But the fund managers wouldnÂ’t be able to base investment decisions on issues such as climate change and social diversity. Critics contend the pro posal would cost the state money and hinder invest ment decision-making. Kansas lawmakers this year dropped a tougher version of anti-ESG rules after the head of the state pension system warned the changes could result in $3.6 billion in losses over 10 years. Indiana lawmak ers also rewrote ESG direc tives after an initial propos al was projected to cost the pension system $6.7 billion over the next decade. Legislative analysis of the Florida proposal didnÂ’t include a projection of eco nomic impacts. Sen. Tina Polsky, D-Bo ca Raton, said studies have shown the change could cost the state $97 million to $300 million in additional interest charges on munic ipal bonds. Sen. Lori Berman, D-Bo ca Raton, questioned why the state would want to cut itself off from companies like BlackRock, which she said has made “tremendous returns” through invest ments using ESG stan dards. In December, state Chief Financial Ofcer Jimmy Patronis announced that Florida would pull $2 bil lion from BlackRock, the largest asset-management rm in the world, because of ESG practices. Sen. Jason Pizzo, D-Hol lywood, called the propos al “incredibly laughable,” saying he knows people the bill targets. “If they pulled out while weÂ’re trying to be punitive to them Â… we would be in a really bad nancial con dition,” Pizzo said. “Remember, the people that weÂ’re trying to attack are not in the business of losing money and giving it away,” Pizzo added.The bill, a priority of House Speaker Paul Renner, R-Palm Coast, passed the House last month RENNER r rnrrrnrnn rr r nÂn ÂÂÂÂÂrrrrrr rr   Âr€rÂrnrnr  Â€‚ƒ„„€……€ƒ †‡Â€ˆ‰ Š€Â‚‹†Š…Œ Ž Ž‘n ’ n €’Žƒ†Âˆ€ €Š…’‰ Œ€Â‚ƒÂŒ Ž Žn ’n ‰ˆƒÂŒ‰ Œ€Â‚ƒÂŒ Ž“†Â‰Ân ’ n Ânr‚ƒ„…n†Âƒ‡‡‚ˆ‰ Šrrr‹Œ ‚ƒ„…Ž‰‰n† ƒ‡‡‚ˆ‘ƒ’‚“”†’•‡‚n ‘‚“r‰Ârnnr –rr‰rr‘“ –‚ƒ„…n† ƒ‡‡‚ˆ‰ r rnr rrnrnr r r  Â r ÂrÂrÂrrÂrÂrrrÂr Ârnrnr €‚‚ƒ‚„…††ƒ‡‡ƒ…‚ ˆ‰ÂƒŠ‹€Œƒ‚„ŽˆŒ‡‘€’€’n €“n ƒ“’…ˆ‚Šƒ ˆ‰ÂƒŠ‹€Œƒ‚„…‚‘€’”ˆ‚‹•n €“n Ânr Ân€Â‚‚ƒ„ ÂÂ…r rr †‡ˆ  ‰„„n€ ‚‚ƒŠÂ‹ÂŒŽ€‹‘‚Ân ŠÂÂŒr„Ârnnr Â’rr„“rrŠŒ ’ Ân€ ‚‚ƒ„ r r nrrrnrnr r r n Ân Â Â rr rrr rr   Âr€rÂrnrnr  Â€‚ƒ„„€……€ƒ †‡Â€ˆ‰ Š€Â‚‹†Š…Œ Ž ŽÂn ‘ n €‘Žƒ†Âˆ€ €Š…‘‰ Œ€Â‚ƒÂŒ Ž Žn ‘n ‰ˆƒÂŒ‰ Œ€Â‚ƒÂŒ Ž’†Â‰“n ‘ n Ânr‚ƒ„…n†Âƒ‡‡‚ˆ‰ÂŠ r r r‹Œ ‚ƒ„…Ž‰‰n† ƒ‡‡‚ˆ‘ƒ’‚“”†’•‡‚n‘‚“r‰Ârnnr –rr‰rr‘“ –‚ƒ„…n† ƒ‡‡‚ˆ‰

A8 Friday, April 21, 2023 Citrus County ChroniclePartisan school board elections will go on Florida ballot By RYAN DAILEY News Service of Florida TALLAHASSEE — The Florida Senate on Wednes day gave nal approval to a proposed constitutional amendment that seeks to shift to holding partisan school-board elections. The proposal (HJR 31) will go on the 2024 ballot and, if approved by voters, would do away with a re quirement that school-board candidates run without par ty labels. Partisan elections could begin in 2026. The Republican-con trolled Senate voted 29-11 to approve the proposal (HJR 31), with Sen. Lin da Stewart, D-Orlando, the only Democrat supporting it. The House passed the measure along straight par ty lines last month. Opponents argued the state shouldnÂ’t politicize school-board elections. “IÂ’m just not in favor of even going down a road to start politicizing school board races. And if weÂ’re all honest, we know what happens when we politicize things. We begin to make decisions based on party, instead of focusing on peo ple,” Sen. Rosalind Osgood, a Fort Lauderdale Democrat and former Broward County School Board member, said. But Senate sponsor Joe Gruters, R-Sarasota, called the measure a move toward “full-transparency elec tions” during discussion on the Senate oor Tuesday. “Parties engage in these races. ThereÂ’s no such thing as a non-partisan race any more. These races are par tisan, and the only ones that arenÂ’t informed are being tricked,” Gruters, a former chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, said. “And what happens is, there are games that are played all the time in these races. And what IÂ’m trying to do is pull the bag off of the votersÂ’ heads.” Florida historically had partisan school-board elec tions, but voters passed a constitutional amendment in 1998 to make the races non-partisan.Florida woken up at 4:45 a.m. by test of emergency systemTALLAHASSEE (AP) — Florida became the wokest state in the nation on Thurs day when a blaring alarm testing the emergency alert system was mistakenly sent to residentsÂ’ cell phones at 4:45 a.m. The Florida Division of Emergency Management has apologized for the early morning siren and said the alert was meant to come across on televisions, not cell phones. “The division understands that unexpected 4:45 AM wake-up calls are frustrat ing and would like to apol ogize for the early morning text,” the agency said. “Each month, we test emergency alerts on a variety of plat forms, including radio, tele vision, and text alerts. This particular alert was supposed to be on TV, and not disturb anyone already sleeping.” As one could imagine, the Sunshine State was none too pleased, with many sharing their bleary-eyed dismay on social media. “Everyone should be on time this morning for work, considering a univer sal alarm clock went off at 4:45am,” tweeted state Sen. Shevrin Jones, along with a screenshot of the alert on his phone that read “TEST – This is a TEST of the Emer gency Alert System. No ac tion is required.” Florida Gov. Ron DeSan tis, a Republican, wrote on Twitter that he was direct ing the head of the agency to bring “swift accountabili ty” for the test alarm. “This was a completely inappropriate use of this system,” wrote DeSantis, who often refers to the state as where woke goes to die. “Stay tuned.” The emergency alert sys tem is intended to notify people of incoming disas ters such as hurricanes. creation of a vaping task force, which works to edu cate county students about the harmful effects of vap ing, especially to younger students, in the hopes of quelling the ongoing issue seen now in middle and high schools. Renea Teaster of the An ti-Drug Coalition said, “Va ping is a concern especially in middle schools, and these kids are about to go into middle school, so itÂ’s im portant that we stay on top of giving them this informa tion before they go to mid dle school.” The Night Vision presen tation was given by U.S. Army National Guard 1st Lt. Mya Russi, who covered topics including alcohol abuse, marijuana, tobacco, opioids, vaping, fentanyl and more. During the part where she demonstrated what a healthy lung looks like when breathing versus a black-in-color cancerous lung, Russi said “If your lungs look like that (black), thereÂ’s no going back unfor tunately.” She also emphasized that every individual is respon sible for themselves and for not just going along with their friends, saying, “You make your own choice.” For more about the Cit rus County Anti-Drug Co alition, visit antidrugcitrus.com.

Interest rates (Previous and change gures reect current contract.)Tesla, AT&T help drag Wall Street lower By STAN CHOE Associated Press NEW YORK — Stocks on Wall Street dipped Thurs day following mixed earn ings reports from big com panies and more signals the U.S. economy may be slowing. The S&P 500 fell 24.73, or 0.6 percent, to 4,129.79 after drifting listlessly ear lier this week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 110.39, or 0.3 per cent, to 33,786.62, while the Nasdaq composite dropped 97.67, or 0.8 per cent, to 12,059.56. Tesla weighed heavily on the market for a second straight day on worries about how much prot itÂ’s making on each of its elec tric vehicles. It dropped 9.7 percent after reporting revenue for the rst three months of the year that fell short of analystsÂ’ expec tations as it repeatedly cut prices on its models. TeslaÂ’s cutting prices “is good for ination,” said Rob Haworth, senior in vestment strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management. “But for the market, the question has to be: YouÂ’re cutting prices again, it seems like weÂ’re not see ing enough demand on the auto side.” “ItÂ’s still working its way through the system, higher rates for everyone. ItÂ’s more costly to buy a car, more costly to buy a house from a nancing perspective.” Several banks also dropped after reporting weaker prots and revenue than expected, including KeyCorp and Zions Ban corp. The spotlight has been particularly harsh on small er and mid-sized banks amid worries their custom ers may pull out deposits following the secondand third-largest U.S. bank fail ures in history last month. Zions fell 4.9 percent, and KeyCorp dropped 2.7 per cent. Truist Financial fell 3.8 percent after reporting weaker prot than expected. AT&T sank 10.4 percent after it reported slightly weaker revenue than ana lysts forecast, though prot squeaked past expectations. Analysts also pointed to weaker cash ow than some expected. It was the worst day for its stock in two de cades and its second-worst since late 1983. In the bond market, yields fell following a couple re ports on the U.S. economy. Slightly more workers led for unemployment benets last week than the week before, a potential signal that a still-strong job market is starting to soften under the weight of much higher interest rates. The number of continuing claims for jobless benets also rose to the highest level since November 2021, ac cording to Rubeela Faroo qi, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Econom ics. A separate report said that manufacturing trends in the mid-Atlantic region weak ened by much more than economists expected. They helped drag the yield of the 10-year Treasury down to 3.53 percent from 3.59 percent late Wednes day. The two-year yield, which more closely tracks expectations for the Federal Reserve, fell to 4.14 percent from 4.25 percent. The Fed has intentional ly been trying to cool the economy for more than a year in hopes of reining in high ination. It does that by raising short-term interest rates. ItÂ’s an ef fective but blunt tool that slows the broad economy, raising the risk of a reces sion and hurting prices for investments. The housing market was one of the rst sectors to bend under the weight of much higher interest rates, as mortgage rates quickly climbed. A report on Thurs day said sales of previously occupied homes slowed in March but remains above its bottom hit at the start of this year. The job market is typically later to fall under the weight of higher interest rates. Helping to limit Wall StreetÂ’s losses Thursday were big gains from com panies that topped analystsÂ’ expectations. Lam Research was one of the strongest forces pushing upward on the S&P 500 af ter the supplier for the semi conductor manufacturing industry rose 7.2 percent. It reported prot and revenue for the latest quarter that beat Wall StreetÂ’s forecast. Steel Dynamics climbed 4.9 percent, homebuild er D.R. Horton gained 5.6 percent, casino operator Las Vegas Sands rallied 3.7 percent and steelmaker Nu cor rose 5.5 percent after all also reported stronger prot for the latest quarter than expected. Like casinos, several com panies that offer experienc es to customers have re cently been reporting strong demand, Haworth said. ThatÂ’s despite worries about a slowing economy. “ThereÂ’s a real question as to how much demand de struction will there be,” he said. “If we do get a reces sion, there will be demand destruction, and yet airline earnings: TheyÂ’re not seeing demand destruction.” Broadly, the majority of companies have been top ping prot forecasts so far in the early days of this re porting season. ThatÂ’s likely in large part because expec tations were quite low com ing into it. Analysts were forecast ing this would mark the sharpest drop in S&P 500 earnings per share since the pandemic was pounding the economy in 2020. Prots are under pressure as ina tion remains high, interest rates are much higher than a year ago and portions of the economy slow. rnr rrrÂr rrÂrÂÂrnÂrnnr rrnr r rrrrrrÂrrÂr rÂrÂrr rrrnnÂrr rÂr rnrrrrrrrr rÂÂrr rrrÂrÂrÂrrr Âr Â€‚ƒ„rÂ… …†‡ ††„n Â‚ˆ ‰‡…ŠÂrr„ rr‹Œ† r rŽŠ‘’ ’†’“”Âr n r••”ÂrrÂrÂÂnrnr Â Â€‚ƒ„„€……€ƒÂ†‡ˆ…‰ Š Š ‹ŒŽ„ €‹Šƒ‡Â‘€ÂƒÂ‰ Š‡Â’ ‹ŒŽ„ „nr †€–n ‡‰……† ”—rrr ˜™ †€–š””n‡‰……† Žƒ†“‡ƒ …†nŽ†“r”ÂrnnrÂŒr r”›rr Œ†€– n‡‰……† ”

A10 Friday, April 21, 2023 Citrus County Chronicle T witter’s new owner Elon Musk recent ly labeled NPR as “state-afliated media” – the term Twitter uses for propa ganda outlets in Russia and China, among others. Musk later walked that back to settle on the label “govern ment-funded media.” We agree with NPR that those labels are inaccurate and misleading. As NPR’s website asserts, NPR is “a private, nonprot com-pany with editorial inde-pendence. It receives less than 1 percent of its $300 million annual budget from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.” CPB itself, created by Congress in 1967, is an independent, private, nonprot organiza-tion mostly funded by the federal government. NPR’s funding comes heavily from corporate and individual grants and dona-tions. Are there any NPR listeners who haven’t heard member stations’ weeklong campaigns for donations? Twitter also gave the misleading designations to accounts for PBS, which receives funding from CPB just as NPR does, and the BBC, funded by a uniform license fee charged to British television viewers. (Twitter policy previously said that NPR and BBC were not considered to be propaganda sites.) Even cursory fact-checking of NPR funding would have shown those labels to be in error. While Twitter operations have been chaotic since Musk took over, this ep-isode illustrates a greater issue. Even prior to the wave of articial intelli-gence concerns currently emerging, disinformation and misinformation have been a plague on civil social discourse. They contribute in a major way to the polit-ical and social polarization we see today. And it’s not just in the digital world; it’s also broadcast and print. How to change things? Pack a healthy skepticism when confronted with new information, and be pre-pared to check it before you repeat it. Tenets of digital literacy can be applied throughout the media universe. These are the cautions and ques-tions to consider before passing along information in any form: 1. Who is behind the item? Is the source trustworthy? Check the website’s “mis-sion” and “about” pages. 2. What’s the evidence? Is it well-referenced? Check the facts. 3. Practice “lateral reading” – see what other sourc-es say regarding the same topic. 4. Is it delivered with inammatory language, or is it presented factually using neutral language? 5. If you suspect a photo isn’t right, check it using a reverse-image search. Circling back to the Twit ter-NPR story, anyone could have checked readily available data about NPR’s funding. Corporate and gov ernment grants, especially when counted among a wide range of funding sources for independent organizations, do not obligate the receivers. T he French bulldog recently toppled the mighty Labrador retriever as the most popular dog breed in the United States. One huge irony about the ascendance of a new top dog is that misguided animal activists are hard at work trying to shut down responsible dog breeders so that the inevita-ble result will be more unhealthy dogs imported from countries that lack the welfare standards required of U.S. breeders. At issue is a proposal recently re-introduced in the House of Representatives called the Puppy Protection Act, one of those fundamentally misnamed bills. It creates additional one-size-ts-all requirements for dog breed-ing, despite dogs being the most diverse species of land mammal and anything but one size ts all. Its new requirements would over-regulate breeders, com-promise innovation and best outcomes for some breeds, and reduce the availability of puppies from licensed breeders. The measure would push frustrated puppy buyers to internet scams, overseas imports and unregulat-ed-sourced retail rescues. Guidelines in the Puppy Protection Act may make good general practices, but they are worthless federal mandates. Here are some examples: QUnfettered access to an outdoor exercise area. Allow ing all dogs unfettered access to a play yard large enough for running strides can be unsafe and a logistical nightmare. Such a mandate does not consider canine behavior and biology. Some dogs don’t get along. Some might be in heat. Some yards might not be large enough to accommodate the mandate. “Unfettered” access can be irre-sponsible. QFrequency of meals. Few would disagree that two meals a day are standard practice for ca-nine care, with more for puppies and fewer for older dogs. But a federal law mandating two meals a day, instead of existing Animal Welfare Act requirements for sufcient and appropriate food, doesn’t advance the well-being of dogs, especially when not all dogs have the exact food require-ments. QFlooring. In some cases, solid ooring in a kennel is preferred. However, research by Purdue University and others nd that dogs actually benet from multiple types of ooring and recognizes the health and sanitation benets of high-qual-ity engineered slatted/perforat-ed ooring. But the proposed legislation would mandate solid ooring only. QTemperatures. A general prohibition of temperatures below 45 degrees or above 85 degrees makes sense for most, but not all. Northern breeds, such as Alaskan malamutes or Siberian huskies, prefer and can easily handle temperatures below freezing. Other dogs, especially newly born puppies, require temperatures signicantly above 85 degrees. For their safety, dogs that hunt, sled, detect explo-sives or do other work must be acclimated to cooler or warmer temperatures. Again, the one-size-ts-all approach makes no sense. Current Animal Welfare Act requirements for breeders already provide strong, per-formance-based outcomes that allow for exibility for breeders and the breeds they choose. The facts about responsible U.S. dog breeders tell a powerful story about animal welfare as their top priority. According to the USDA 2021 Impact Report, inspections by its Animal Care Division revealed that 96 percent of licensees and registrants were in substantial compliance with the Animal Welfare Act. This means that these breeders of dogs for commercial sale pro-vide animals with humane care and treatment that meets govern-ment standards, including proper veterinary care, an appropriate diet, clean and structurally sound housing, proper ventilation and sanitation, and protection from extreme weather and tempera-tures. The proposed law will incentivize U.S. breeders to do less breeding while turning the country into a magnet for foreign-bred animals, many of which are not bred responsibly. It is already a crapshoot wheth-er imported dogs are carrying serious diseases. That’s because while importation laws require all dogs to have a health cer-ticate, foreign paperwork is commonly invalid or forged, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The issue is particularly con-cerning because dogs from other countries are not subject to the health and welfare laws of the United States and may arrive carrying serious and infectious canine diseases. Existing laws, and recent updates scheduled for implementa-tion in October 2024, should be fully implemented and enforced before adding new layers of regulation that are harmful to dogs and difcult to enforce. The guiding principle must be that expert dog breeders should have the exibility to care for their animals in the best and most ap-propriate manner to ensure each pet receives the care it needs and deserves.

O We are all individuals I would like to comment on a letter submitted by a frequent writer on April 18th. He com bines religion and politics as if they are one and the same. I believe this is not true for many reasons. He states the liberals and their policies have caused people to turn away from attend ing their choice of church. This is absurd on its face since when does anything a liberal says direct the actions of Indepen dents or Conservatives? Most Republicans in my circle would laugh at the idea of their actions being directed by the words of Liberals. This writer ties politics to his beliefs in Scripture by quoting text that backs up his opinion. If you want to use quotes, where are the quotes that “Man was created in God’s image and like ness”? I am not versed enough in science or biology to back or dis pute researchers who say a per son’s sexualitiy not their sex, is based on the genes they are born with. I will leave that discussion to the experts and their research. I also object to the writer assigning religion or beliefs based on the label assigned them by their politics. Faith is based on the individual’s own feelings in their heart and how their mind interprets those feelings. It is absurd to think you can look at another person and “know” what is in their heart. Actually, it is also offensive to think another can “assign” somebody their beliefs. Also, why does the Right make everything political? They turn and twist everything to fit their view of politics. Why can’t they deal with issues individually on their merits? I would hate to think they are not capable of separating things but maybe I am wrong on that. People go to, or not, attend church based on what they believe in and how they relate to their God. Their conscience dictates their actions and their relationship with their God. It boils down to two basic facts. One, politics is fact based or at least should be. Two, religion is faith based. The latter is per sonal and people should not be arrogant to try and intrude on personal beliefs. Remember, we are individuals and I for one, appreciate and am thankful for our differences. Jerry Daniels Hernando Makes no sense This is what Congressman Jim Jordan said: “New York City has lost its way when it comes to fighting crime and upholding the law.” He said this because New York is prosecuting someone for 34 separate crimes, and Mr. Jordan doesn’t want the accused to be prosecuted.

Citrus County Chronicle Friday, April 21, 2023 A11 law, they are failing to uphold the law may sound like lunacy, but it is typ ical of the rhetoric that is becoming more and more common among that defendantÂ’s supporters. William Collins Inverness Loved Route 66 article Really enjoyed reading the Route 66 article by Ken Marotte in MondayÂ’s paper. I and my family were here at that time visiting. Dad was a big Chevy fan, and anytime he could get a few days off, we would come to Florida and Crystal River. A few years later we were able to finally move here, and had a house in Pick ardy Village where I grew up. Sam Pickardy was a VP at CBS at that time, and responsible for events like Elvis, Route 66 ,and others being here. Also at Port Paradise, I met Sam a number of times as a kid, he was a mover and shaker. I hope that the city looks back at past events like these, and recognize the people involved that helped make Crystal River, not just the more recent things. Scott Davis Crystal River We need more broadband Omitted in SundayÂ’s front page school article was the lack of affordable broadband in rural areas of the nation. For two years, many students had no or very limited (library, McDonaldÂ’s parking lot, etc.) access to wifi while schools were closed. iPads were given to the students, but without internet access they were worthless. Areas where Wi-Fi is available, itÂ’s still largely unaffordable to families living under the poverty level. Losing two years of instruction had a huge impact and should be taken into account in determining schoolsÂ’ effectiveness in educating and in addressing ways to improve education. Mary Huse Yankeetown ... Than are dreamt of in your philosophy In his letter to the edi tor on Saturday, April 15, Dean Bales asks the question, “why is there no transgender gene”? There is no gene for “race,” either Mr. Bales, but that doesnÂ’t mean race is not real. There is much we donÂ’t know about the world around us. As Shakespeare wrote, “There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.” Marty Johnson Crystal River Stop issuing building permits Another 930-unit hous ing development in Lecan to. More cars congesting the already overcrowded roads. More strain on the utilities such as sewage, water, and garbage. It is time to stop issuing resi dential building permits. Why do our county com missioners want to make Citrus County another Ocala, New Port Richey, or St. Petersburg? Bill Pritchard Inverness LETTERSFrom page A10Save the planet, invest in fossil fuelsE arth Day is Saturday! Hooray? “Saving humanity from the climate crisis,” says EarthDay.org, requires us to “push away from the dirty fossil fuel economy.” Sounds logical. But my latest video explains why doing that is cruel to poor people. “Three billion people in the world still use less electricity than a typical refrigerator,” explains Alex Epstein, author of “The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels.” If theyÂ’re going to have “their rst well-paying jobs ... their rst consistent supply of clean water ... a modern life ... thatÂ’s going to depend on fossil fuels.” But the greens say we have a better replacement: wind and solar power. So I push back at Epstein: “Solar is getting cheaper all the time. ItÂ’s already cheap-er than fossil fuels.” “When we look at solar and wind around the world,” he answers, “it always cor relates to rising prices and declining reliability. Why? Because solar and wind are intermittent. At any time, they can go near zero.” That means wind turbines and solar farms donÂ’t re-place fossil fuel plants. You have to build them in addi-tion to fossil fuel plants. “We spent trillions of dollars in subsidies and mandates putting solar panels and wind turbines everywhere,” Epstein points out, “Yet weÂ’re still having shortages of fossil fuels.” Germany invested heavily in solar and wind power. Elites around the world praised German politicians for creating record renew able power. But that didnÂ’t work so well when the winds slowed and clouds appeared. Germans now pay much more for electricity, triple what Americans pay. Germany has even turned to coal for energy. Coal! Coal is the lthiest fuel. Yet Germany now imports coal from Russia and America. OK, say the activists, even if renewables have prob-lems, soon weÂ’ll have better batteries so we can bank wind and solar energy and store it until itÂ’s needed! Batteries are “getting continually better and cheaper,” I say to Epstein. Backing up all solar and wind with batteries would cost “multiples of global GDP,” responds Epstein. “This is a total fantasy.” “You say unaffordable,” I push back, “but whoÂ’s to determine what that is?” “The general narrative is weÂ’re destroying the planet with fossil fuels, so who cares how much energy costs?” Epstein says. “The truth is, the planet is only livable because of low-cost, reliable energy from fossil fuels.” Before fossil fuels, “Life expectancy was below 30. Income was basically non existent. The population was stagnant because people had such a high death rate. The basic reason is that nature is not a very livable place for human beings.” By contrast, thanks to cheap fossil fuels, “We make it unnaturally safe by producing all forms of climate protection. We produce drought relief ... sturdy buildings. We pro-duce heat when itÂ’s cold, we produce cold when itÂ’s hot. We have this amazing, productive ability. ThatÂ’s the only reason we experi-ence the planet as livable.” Unfortunately, because of todayÂ’s foolish hysteria over fossil fuels, energy prices will climb. “When you threaten an industry, you scare investors and producers. Massive threats to industry have denitely cut down production.” AmericaÂ’s afuent protesters can afford the higher prices. But poor people will suffer. Allowing billions of the worldÂ’s poor to live a modern life requires energy from gas, oil and even coal. The United Nations now puts pressure on countries to stop using fossil fuels. Governments in poor countries, eager for UN handouts, often listen. “Their whole population is going to suffer,” warns Epstein. “People who have by far the least in the world (are) most subject to to-dayÂ’s international pressure against fossil fuels.” If we want more of the poorest people to have decent lives, we need to invest in both fossil fuels and nuclear power.

A12 Friday, April 21, 2023 Citrus County ChronicleN & W CITRUS COUNTY CHRONICLEBaldwin charge to be dropped in shooting case By ANDREW DALTON and MORGAN LEE Associated Press SANTA FE, N.M. — Prosecutors in New Mexico plan to drop an involun tary manslaughter charge against Alec Baldwin in the fatal 2021 shooting of a cinematographer on the set of the Western lm “ Rust,” Baldwin’s attorneys said Thursday. “We are pleased with the decision to dismiss the case against Alec Baldwin and we encourage a proper in vestigation into the facts and circumstances of this tragic accident,” Baldwin’s attorneys Luke Nikas and Alex Spiro said in a state ment. When word of the dis missal came, Baldwin was at Yellowstone Film Ranch on the set of a rebooted “Rust” production. Filming was to resume Thursday at its new location in Montana, 18 months after the shoot ing death of cinematogra pher Halyna Hutchins shut it down, a representative for Rust Movie Productions said. Baldwin and the lm’s weapons supervisor, Han nah Gutierrez-Reed, were both charged with invol untary manslaughter in the shooting. Baldwin was pointing a pistol at Hutchins during a rehearsal when the gun when off, killing Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza. Baldwin has said the gun went off accidentally and that he did not pull the trig ger. An FBI forensic report found the weapon could not have red unless the trigger was pulled. Heather Brewer, a spokes woman for the Santa Fe district attorney’s ofce, declined to comment on the status of the criminal charge against Baldwin when reached by telephone Thursday. It wasn’t immediately clear whether charges could be reled, nor whether the charge would also be dropped against Gutier rez-Reed. Gutierrez-Reed’s attor neys said that they “fully expect at the end of this process that Hannah will also be exonerated.” “The truth about what hap pened will come out and the questions that we have long sought answers for will be answered,” the lawyers, Ja son Bowles and Todd Bul lion, said in a statement. The case against Baldwin had already been diminish ing. A weapons charge that would have meant a much longer sentence had already been dismissed, and the rst special prosecutor appoint ed in the case resigned.Investigators: Gunmen fired into crowd at Alabama Sweet 16 partyDADEVILLE, Ala. — In vestigators said ve people charged in a deadly shoot ing at Sweet 16 birthday party had red guns into the crowd at the celebration. Investigators wrote in court documents led Thursday that they believe the ve were present at the party and “discharged re arms into the crowd” re sulting in the deaths of four people. The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency an nounced two additional ar rests on Thursday, for a total of ve people facing facing reckless murder charges in connection with the fatal shooting. The shooting at the Sweet 16 birthday killed four young people, ranging in age from 17 to 23 and shocked the small east Al abama city of Dadeville. Besides the four slain, 32 others were injured, four of them critically. The par ty, at a dance studio just off the town square, was in full swing when gunre erupted. Investigators have not discussed a motive or what they believe led to the shooting. Tyreese “Ty Reik”, 17, of Tuskegee and Travis Mc Cullough, 16, of Tuskegee were arrested Tuesday. Wilson LaMar Hill Jr., 20, of Auburn, was arrested Wednesday. and Johnny Letron Brown, 20, of Tus kegee and Willie George Brown Jr., 19, of Auburn, were arrested Thursday. All are charged with four counts of reckless murder, the Alabama Law Enforce ment Agency said. The district attorney said the teens will be tried as adults as required by Al abama law when anyone 16 or older is charged with murder. All of the suspects are be ing held in the Tallapoosa County Jail with no bond. The birthday girl’s broth er, 18-year-old Philstavious “Phil” Dowdell of Camp Hill, died as his sister knelt beside him begging him to keep breathing. He and an other fatal victim, 17-year-old Shaunkivia Nicole “KeKe” Smith of Dadeville, were high school seniors. Also slain were Marsiah Emmanuel “Siah” Collins, 19, of Opelika, and Corbin Dahmontrey Holston, 23, of Dadeville. The shooting was the 16th mass killing in the U.S. this year. A 17th took place in Maine on Tuesday. A total of 88 people have died in mass killings so far in 2023. A mass killing is dened as the slaying of four or more people other than the perpetrator, according to a database maintained by The Associated Press and USA Today in partnership with Northeastern University. Jeff Amy / AP A bullet hole is visible in the glass transom over the door at the Mahogany Masterpiece dance studio in Dadeville, Ala., on Sunday, April 16, 2023. Several people were killed and multiple others injured in a shooting at a birthday party at the dance studio the previous night.Giant SpaceX rocket explodes just minutes after launch from Texas site By MARCIA DUNN AP Aerospace Writer SOUTH PADRE ISLAND, Texas — SpaceX’s giant new rocket exploded minutes af ter blasting off on its rst test ight Thursday and crashed into the Gulf of Mexico. Elon Musk’s company was aiming to send the biggest and most powerful rocket ever built on a round-the-world trip from the south ern tip of Texas, near the Mexican border. The nearly 400-foot Starship carried no people or satellites. SpaceX later said multiple engines on the 33-engine booster were not ring as the rocket ascended, caus ing it to lose altitude and begin to tumble. The rocket was intentionally destroyed by its self-destruct system, exploding and plummeting into the water. Instead of a best-case-sce nario 1 1/2 hour ight with the spacecraft on top peel ing away and taking a lap around the world, the whole thing lasted four minutes. The rocket reached a max imum speed of about 1,300 mph and as high as 24 miles, before going sideways and dropping. Throngs of spectators watched from South Padre Island, several miles away from the Boca Chica Beach launch site, which was off-limits. As Starship lifted off with a thunderous roar, the crowd screamed: “Go, baby, go!” Musk, in a tweet, called it “an exciting test launch of Starship! Learned a lot for next test launch in a few months.” SpaceX termed it a “rapid unscheduled disas sembly.” In the weeks leading up to the ight, Musk gave 50-50 odds that the space craft would reach orbit. He stressed that clearing the launch tower and not blow ing up the pad would be a win. “You never know exact ly what’s going to happen,” said SpaceX livestream commentator and engineer John Insprucker. “But as we promised, excitement is guaranteed and Starship gave us a rather spectacular end.” At liftoff, the rocket kicked up huge plumes of sand and dust around the pad. In Port Isabel, about 10 miles away, particles cov ered cars and other surfaces. The only other report, said John Sandoval, assistant to the city manager, was a shattered window at a local business. “Yes, it shook, rat tled and rolled,” he said of the rocket. The Federal Aviation Ad ministration said it would oversee the accident in vestigation, noting that no injuries or public property damage were reported. The agency also said that until it determines that there is no threat to public safety, Starships are grounded. SpaceX intends to use Starship to send people and cargo to the moon and, eventually, Mars. NASA has reserved a Starship for its next moonwalking team, and rich tourists are already booking lunar ybys. Despite the abbreviat ed ight, congratulations poured in from NASA chief Bill Nelson and others in the space industry. Retired Canadian astronaut Chris Hadeld tweeted, “Huge accomplishment, huge les sons, onwards to the next attempt.” “It fell somewhere be tween a small step and their hoped-for giant leap, but it still represents signicant progress toward a reusable super-heavy lift rocket,” University of Chicago’s Jor dan Bimm, a space histori an, said in an email. At 394 feet and nearly 17 million pounds of thrust, Starship easily surpass es NASA’s moon rock ets – past, present and fu ture. NASA successfully launched its new 322-foot moon rocket last Novem ber on a test ight, sending the empty Orion capsule around the moon. The stainless steel Starship rocket is designed to be fully reusable with fast turnaround, dramatical ly lowering costs, similar to what SpaceX’s smaller Falcon rockets have done soaring from Cape Canaver al. Nothing was to be saved from this test ight, with the spacecraft – if all had gone well – aiming for a watery grave in the Pacic near Ha waii. Eric Gay / AP SpaceX’s Starship breaks up Thursday after its launch from S tar base in Boca Chica, Texas.NATO chief: Ukraine’s ‘rightful place’ is in alliance By LORNE COOK and SAMYA KULLAB Associated Press KYIV, Ukraine — NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg de antly declared Thursday that Ukraine’s “rightful place” is in the military alliance and pledged more support for the country on his rst visit to Kyiv since Russia’s invasion just over a year ago. Ukrainian President Volo dymyr Zelenskyy urged Stoltenberg, who has been instrumental in marshal ing support from NATO members, to push for even more from them, including warplanes, artillery and ar mored equipment. The Kremlin has given various justications for going to war, but repeat ed Thursday that prevent ing Ukraine from joining NATO is still a key goal of its invasion, arguing that Kyiv’s membership in the alliance would pose an ex istential threat to Russia. NATO leaders said in 2008 that Ukraine would join the alliance one day, and Stoltenberg has repeat ed that promise throughout the war, though the organi zation has established no pathway or timetable for membership. “Let me be clear, Ukraine’s rightful place is in the Euro-Atlantic fami ly,” Stoltenberg told a news conference. “Ukraine’s rightful place is in NATO.” Zelenskyy said he was grateful for an invitation to a NATO summit in July in Vilnius, Lithuania, but said his country needs a roadmap for becoming a member. “The time has come for the (alliance’s) leaders to dene the prospects of Ukraine’s acquisition of NATO membership, to dene the algorithm of Ukraine’s movement to wards this goal, and to de ne security guarantees for our state for the period of such movement – that is, for the period before NATO membership,” he said. Stoltenberg said he and Zelenskyy discussed a NATO support program for Ukraine. He noted an announce ment Thursday by Den mark and the Netherlands that they plan to provide Ukraine with at least an other 14 refurbished Leop ard 2 battle tanks by early 2024. He added that he expect ed countries to “make new announcements of con crete military support to Ukraine” at a meeting Fri day in Germany.IRS agent alleges Hunter Biden probe is being mishandled By FARNOUSH AMIRI Associated Press WASHINGTON — An IRS special agent is seek ing whistleblower protec tion to disclose informa tion about what the agent alleges is mishandling of an investigation into Pres ident Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, according to a letter sent to members of Congress. Mark Lytle, the attorney for the IRS whistleblow er, wrote to lawmakers Wednesday that his client has information about a “failure to mitigate clear conicts of interest in the ultimate disposition” of a criminal investigation related to the younger Biden’s taxes and whether he made a false statement in connection with a gun purchase. “Despite serious risks of retaliation, my client is of fering to provide you with information necessary to exercise your constitution al oversight function and wishes to make the dis closures in a nonpartisan manner to the leadership of the relevant committees on both sides of the political aisle,” Lytle said in a letter, obtained by The Associat ed Press, that was sent to the chairmen and ranking members of several House and Senate committees. The letter states that the supervisory special agent previously disclosed the information they are seek ing to share with Congress internally with the IRS and a watchdog for the Justice Department. Lytle added that his client is able to contradict sworn testimony to lawmakers “by a senior political appointee.” That appointee is not named. The special agent also wants to disclose “examples of preferential treatment and politics improperly in fecting decisions and pro tocols that would normally be followed by career law enforcement professionals in similar circumstances if the subject were not polit ically connected,” the law yer added. “The president respects the rule of law and the in dependence of the Depart ment of Justice,” White House press secretary Kar ine Jean-Pierre said during a brieng Thursday. The Justice Department de clined to comment. Hunter Biden’s legal team had no immediate comment. A request for comment from the IRS was not immedi ately returned. Hunter Biden’s taxes and foreign business work have been under federal investigation by a feder al grand jury in Delaware since at least 2018. So far no charges have been led. Additionally, his mem bership on the board of a Ukrainian energy compa ny and his efforts to strike deals in China have long raised questions by Repub licans about whether he traded on his father’s pub lic service.

Oakland AÂ’s purchase land for new stadium in Vegas By JOSH DUBOW Associated Press OAKLAND, Calif. — The Oakland Athletics have signed a binding agreement to purchase land for a new retractable roof ballpark in Las Vegas after being un able to build a new venue in the Bay Area. Team president Dave Ka val said Wednesday night the team nalized a deal last week to buy the 49-acre site where the AÂ’s plan to build the stadium close to the Las Vegas Strip with a seating capacity of 30,000 to 35,000. The AÂ’s will work with Nevada and Clark County on a public-private partner ship to fund the stadium. Kaval said the AÂ’s hope to break ground by next year and would hope to be move to their new home by 2027. “ItÂ’s obviously a very big milestone for us,” Kaval said. “We spent almost two years working in Las Vegas to try to determine a loca tion that works for a long-term home. To identify a site and have a purchase agreement is a big step.” The AÂ’s had been looking for a new home for years to replace the outdated and run-down Oakland Coli seum, where the team has played since arriving from Kansas City for the 1968 season. They had sought to build a stadium in Fremont and San Jose before shift ing their attention to the Oakland waterfront. Las Vegas would be the fourth home for a franchise that started as the Philadel phia Athletics from 1901-54. “WeÂ’re turning our full attention to Las Vegas,” Kaval said. “We were on parallel paths before. But weÂ’re focused really on Las Vegas as our path to nd a future home for the AÂ’s.” Commissioner Rob Man fred said in December the AÂ’s would not have to pay a relocation fee if the team moved to Las Vegas. “WeÂ’re past any reason able timeline for the situ ation in Oakland to be re solved,” Manfred said then. Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao said in a statement that she was disappoint ed the AÂ’s didnÂ’t negotiate with the city as a “true part ner.” “The city has gone above and beyond in our attempts to arrive at mutually bene cial terms to keep the AÂ’s in Oakland,” she said. “In the last three months, weÂ’ve made signicant strides to close the deal. Yet, it is clear to me that the AÂ’s have no intention of staying in Oakland and have simply been using this process to try to extract a better deal out of Las Vegas. I am not interested in continuing to play that game – the fans and our residents deserve better. “I am incredibly proud of what we have accom plished as a City, including securing a fully entitled site and over $375 million in new infrastructure in vestment that will benet Oakland and its Port for generations to come. In a time of budget decits, I refuse to compromise the safety and well-being of our residents. Given these realities, we are ceasing ne gotiations and moving for ward on alternatives for the redevelopment of Howard Terminal.” The AÂ’s would be only the second MLB team to change cities in more than a half-century. Since the Washington Senators be came the Texas Rangers for 1972, the only team to relocate was the Montreal Expos, who became the Washington Nationals in 2005. The AÂ’s lease at the Coli seum expires after the 2024 season. The AÂ’s has strug gled to draw fans to the Coliseum in recent years as owner John Fisher has slashed payroll and many of the teamÂ’s most recog nizable stars have been traded away. Oakland had the low est opening day payroll in baseball at at $58 million – less than the combined salaries of Mets pitchers Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander, who tied for the major league high of $43.3 million. The team is 3-16 this sea son and has been outscored by 86 runs – the worst mark through 19 games since 1899. The average atten dance through 12 home games this season is 11,027 for the lowest mark in the majors and less than half of the league average of about 27,800. The AÂ’s ha venÂ’t drawn 2 million fans at home since 2014 – their only year reaching the mark since 2005. If the AÂ’s leave Oakland, the city with a rich sports tradition would have no major pro sports teams with the NFLÂ’s Raiders having moved to Las Ve gas in 2020 and the NBAÂ’s Warriors moving across the bay to San Francisco in 2019. “We know itÂ’s a dif cult message for our folks in Oakland,” Kaval said. “Obviously weÂ’re grateful for all the hard work that went into the waterfront. But we have been unable to achieve success or make enough progress.” Las Vegas is quickly be come a sports mecca after years of being considered a pariah because of ties to the gambling industry. With gambling legalized in much of the country, the city now could have a baseball team to join the NHLÂ’s Golden Knights, who began as an expansion team in 2017 and the Raiders.

They wanted it just as bad as we did.” Crystal River head coach Mike Williams said reach ing the regional nal was a great nish to a solid sea son. “That would have been nice getting to doubles, but Citrus is a good team,” he said. “We struggled a little bit in singles, but we had a very good year. “We struggled a little at the start and had to move some kids around with a couple injuries in the rst half of the season. Got those two kids back and settled in pretty well after that.” The plan for Citrus on Thursday was to win four singles matches and keep the doubles teams off the court and that’s exactly how it played out. “We didn’t want to play any doubles. We wanted to nish it with singles and that’s what we did,” Dodd said. The rst point was put on the board by No. 4 singles player Caleb Blanch, with a 6-0, 6-1 win over Devon Hicks. Dodd made it 2-0 a few minutes later with a 6-0, 6-0 victory over Austin Edwards. “I felt really good. Warm ing up I felt good and going into the match I wanted the mindset of no mercy and wanted to give him two doughnuts and that’s what I did,” Dodd said. Carson Edwards put the Pirates on the board with a solid 6-3, 6-2 triumph over Mason Bryant in the No. 3 singles match. The key match of the day was at No. 2 singles, where Citrus’ Landon Hensley and Jacob Silvey of Crystal River battled for nearly two hours. Hensley rolled in the rst set, 6-1, but Silvey battled back in the second. The Pirate trailed 5-3, but won two games in a row to knot the score at 5-5. Hensley broke Silvey’s serve for a 6-5 lead and fought off several break points on his next serve to eventually win the set and the match, 6-1, 7-5. Hensley avoided a sec ond-set tiebreaker by win ning that last game. “I wanted that so bad. Just wanted to put him away. I was tired,” Hensley said. “He was on that second set.” Coach Williams said of Silvey, “He almost got it there. We were hoping to get to that tiebreaker.” Coach Nelson said it was just another great battle be tween the county rivals. “They’ve battled each other all year. Landon probably showed the most effort in what he had to do today,” she said. That victory gave the Hurricanes a 3-1 lead and No. 5 singles player Logan Shaw closed it out with a 6-0, 6-1 win over Nathan Jackson for that magical fourth team point to clinch the meet and trip to state. After not going to team state since 1995, the Hur ricanes have now made it back-to-back appearances. Citrus is hoping to improve on a 4-0 loss to Jesuit in the rst round last season. The Hurricanes will play either Lake Highland Prep or Sat ellite in the quarternals next week. “Going in a second time we will denitely have a lot more condence and hopefully pull a win out at states,” Hensley said. Dodd added, “The goal is to not change the pace we’re carrying now and go in thinking we can win. Keep our heads up and not worry about the competi tion.” CITRUSFrom page B1 By BRIAN MAHONEY AP Basketball Writer NEW YORK — Joel Em biid, limping throughout the game and perhaps lucky not to have been ejected for kicking a Nets player in the groin area, blocked a po tential tying basket with 8.8 seconds left and the Phila delphia 76ers beat Brook lyn 102-97 on Thursday night to take a 3-0 lead in the rst-round series. Tyrese Maxey made the tiebreaking 3-pointer with 44 seconds left for the 76ers, who can sweep their way into the second round with a victory Saturday in Brooklyn. With James Harden hav ing been ejected in the third quarter for another groin shot and Embiid not look ing like his usual dominant self, Maxey took over the offense and scored eight straight points, turning a ve-point decit into a 99-96 lead on his 3-pointer. Spencer Dinwiddie made one free throw, then ap peared to have a path to the basket for a tying layup before Embiid rose up and swatted it. P.J. Tucker made a free throw to make it 100-97, and the Nets turned it over on their next posses sion. Maxey scored 25 points and Harden had 21 for the 76ers. Embiid shot just 5 for 13 but had 14 points and 10 rebounds. Mikal Bridges scored 26 points and Dinwiddie had 20 for the Nets, who have lost nine straight playoff games and are on the verge of being swept for the sec ond straight year. Cam Johnson scored 17 points. Embiid went to the lock er room for treatment after checking out in the rst quarter, then was limping multiple times later. The 76ers might’ve been lucky he was still in the game at that point. Nets fans loudly booed the decision not to eject him for kicking his leg up toward Nic Claxton’s groin in the rst quarter and those not in the arena took to social media to ask why he wasn’t, as Golden State’s Draymond Green was for stepping on Sacra mento’s Domantas Sabonis in Game 2 of their series. Green was then suspended by the NBA for Game 3. But the ruling went against the 76ers in the third quarter when Hard en, while closely guarded by Royce O’Neale, swung out his arm and struck the swingman, who fell to the court in pain. The Nets raced to a 19-11, riding an emotional boost after Embiid’s agrant foul. But Philadelphia would re cover to lead 32-28 after one, extended the lead to 51-40 on Maxey’s 3-point er with 3:52 left in the half and the lead remained 11 at the break. But Bridges got the Nets off to a quick start in the third and Johnson scored 13 points, helping the Nets outscore the 76ers 35-18 in the third to bring an 82-76 edge to the fourth.Tip-ins76ers: Tobias Harris scored 15 points. Nets: Brooklyn’s last playoff victory was Game 5 of the 2021 Eastern Con ference seminals, before Milwaukee rallied to win that series and eventually the NBA title. ... The Nets fell to 0-6 vs. the 76ers at home in the playoffs. They are 4-5 on the road, with one win in 2019 and three in 1984, when they stunned the defending NBA cham pions 3-2 in the rst round.Secret stat?76ers coach Doc Rivers was answering a question about how the Nets were defending Harden when he revealed something that created some puzzled looks in the room. “I don’t want to sound like I’m campaigning, but I am,” Rivers said. “James and Joel do lead the league in missed calls, as far as fouls. They got fouled the most, and that’s not a Six ers stat by the way. I’m just saying.” Asked for more de tails about this stat, Riv ers would only reply: “I will just say that it’s a stat that we know that it’s there.”Embiid gets late block as Maxey, 76ers take 3-0 lead on Nets Maple Leafs, whose stars stepped up. Ilya Samsonov made 19 saves for Toronto after being pulled in Tues day’s 7-3 loss. Ian Cole and Corey Per ry scored for the Light ning, who were without injured defensemen Victor Hedman and Erik Cernak. Andrei Vasilevskiy, who has played every minute of Lightning postseason action since 2020, allowed seven goals on 35 shots. The series shifts to Flor ida, where Games 3 and 4 of the best-of-seven set are scheduled for Saturday and Monday. Facing a 0-2 decit against an opponent that’s a perfect 10-0 all-time when winning the rst two games of a series, Toronto scored 47 seconds into the open ing period on a power play when Marner beat Vasile vskiy with a slap shot on the rst shot. The Maple Leafs sur vived two Lightning power plays thanks to Samsonov and some desperate shot blocks. Then, Tavares made it 2-0 at 12:45 when he took a pass from Rielly and red through a screen. Toronto took a three-goal lead on a delayed penal ty when Nylander scored his second of the series at 15:08. After being booed at ev ery buzzer on Tuesday, the Maple Leafs received a loud ovation from their towel-waving fans as they headed to the locker room. Toronto, which lost to Tampa in a tight rst-round series last spring and hasn’t advanced in the post-sea son since 2004, continued to push in the second. The Lightning, who won the Stanley Cup in 2020 and 2021 and reached the championship round last year, scored at 8:58 of the second when Cole scored off the rush to make it 3-1. The Maple Leafs wobbled a bit, but Tavares scored his second of the game at 13:14. Toronto’s fourth line got in on the action when As ton-Reese banged home a loose puck at 15:52, before Marner added his second on a shot that glanced off a Lightning player in front of Vasilevskiy with 1:58 left in the period. Perry, who had a goal and two assists Tuesday, added his second of the se ries for the Lightning with 7:22 left. The winger then dropped the gloves with Justin Holl before both got sent off the ice. Tavares completed his hat trick – the 12th of his ca reer – with under ve min utes remaining on a man advantage. ——— Rangers 5, Devils 1 NEWARK, N.J. — Chris Kreider scored two power-play goals in a three-goal second period and New York stunned New Jersey to a take a 2-0 lead on the road in their first-round playoff series. Patrick Kane added a goal and two assists and fellow trade dead line acquisition Vladimir Tarasenko scored for the second straight game as the Rangers again had their way with the young Devils. Kaapo Kakko also scored and Adam Fox added two more assists to give him six in two games. Igor Shesterkin had a relatively easy night, making 21 saves. Erik Haula scored for New Jer sey. Vitek Vanecek finished with 26 saves in a game that got one-sided and chippy late. The best-of-seven series shifts across the Hudson River to Madi son Square Garden for Games 3 and 4 on Friday and Sunday, respectively.

B4 Friday, April 21, 2023 Citrus County Chronicle By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AVONDALE, La. — The teams of Wyndham Clark and Beau Hossler, and Sean OÂ’Hair and Brandon Mat thews, each shot an 11-under 61 in the better-ball format on Thursday to tie for a one-shot lead through the rst round of Zurich Classic. The 40-year-old OÂ’Hair has four PGA Tour wins, the last in 2011. Matthews, 28, has never nished higher than 35th. The highlight of their round – if not the entire day – was MatthewsÂ’ eagle on the par-4 12th hole. He launched a 313-yard drive into the fair way, then holed a wedge from 135 yards. “Sean played really a stressfree round of golf himself, and that took a lot of pressure off me,” Matthews said. “I could attack little bit more.” Clark and Hossler com bined for 11 birdies – seven by Hossler – at the TPC Lou isiana. While the 28-year-old Hossler and 29-year-old Clark do not have a PGA Tour victory between them, both have several top-20 nishes this season. Clark nished fth at the Valspar Championship. Hossler tied for 11th at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. “Our games complement each other,” Clark said. “We both are good putters, both have a good short game, and then I kind of fade it and he kind of draws it. So, itÂ’s a good mix.” Matt Fitzpatrick, fresh off last weekendÂ’s victory at the RBC Heritage in Hilton Head, South Carolina, com bined with his younger broth er, Alex, for a 62 – tied with four other teams. “ItÂ’s as much fun as IÂ’ve had on the golf course in, well, about four days, to be fair,” Matt Fitzpatrick said. Also shooting 62 were the teams of Sungjae Im and Keith Michell, David Lipsky and Aaron Rai, Luke List and Henrik Norlander, and Michael Kim and Seung-yul Noh. Noh won at the TPC Louisiana in 2014, before the tournament became a team event. Rai carried his team with an eagle and seven birdies. Six teams were one shot off the lead, including the tan dem of Sahith Theegala and Justin Suh. There were more than a dozen eagles across the eld on a dry, sunny and breezy day – two by Theega la on seventh and 18th, both par 5s. Theegala also made a 69-foot birdie from the fringe on the par-3 ninth.Sullivan and Yeongsu share lead of ISPS Handa ChampionshipOMITAMA, Japan — Andrew Sullivan and Kim Yeongsu each shot 7-under 63 to share the lead after the rst round of the ISPS Han da Championship in Japan. Three players were a stroke behind in the Euro pean tour event – Alexander Bjork, Aaron Cockerill and Deon Germishuys. It was a bunched leader board at Ishioka Golf Club: Almost two dozen golfers were at 5 under or 4 under on a sunny day for golf. Almost 150 players are en tered in the rst two rounds.Chien leads Chevron after 1st round, Korda tied for 2ndTHE WOODLANDS, Texas — Peiyun Chien shot a 5-under 67 on a rainy day in the transplanted Chev ron Championship to take the rst-round lead in the LPGA TourÂ’s rst major of the year. Unable to nd a spon sor willing to add to the half-century run at Mission Hills, the tournament – best known as the Dinah Shore – bolted the California desert for the woods of suburban Houston under a six-year deal with Chevron. The 32-year-old Chien, who is from Taiwan, had six birdies – including four in a ve-hole span on Nos. 4-8 – at The Club at Carlton Woods. Second-ranked Nelly Kor da was among six players and three Americans tied for second at 68. Korda is fully healthy after missing four months and a lot of momen tum last year with a blood clot in her arm that required surgery. She had three bogeys but made up for it with seven birdies and four in her last six holes, including the last two. “I took advantage of the par 5s today,” she said. “I think I birdied them all, so that was important, as IÂ’m a bit of a longer hitter. Overall, I played pretty well. It was nice to nish the way I did with just a tap-in birdie.” Chien nished fourth in her last tournament after not making the cut in the previ ous two. “I hit a really good wedge shot on 4 and then I hit a 6-foot putt, and the next hole I made a 30-foot bird ie,” she said. “Then the next hole I hit a 9-iron to the green, hit it to like 6 feet and made another good putt.”Clark-Hossler, OÂ’Hair-Matthews, take early lead at Zurich Classic Gerald Herbert / AP Matt Fitzpatrick lines up a shot with his brother Alex Fitzpatrick, above, both of England, on the ninth green during the first round of the PGA Zurich Classic golf tournament at TPC Louisiana on Thursday in Avondale, La.

Moklins. And traps.You’ll meet or fall into all of them May 12-13, when Lewis and Young Entertainment presents at the Valerie Theatre in Inverness three live, on stage, science ction “radio” shows, “The Black Door,” “If You Was a Moklin” and “The Trap.” Show times are 7 p.m. May 12 and 2 p.m. May 13. The three-play production, offered as “The Spring of Sci Fi,” also will feature live, acted commercials for local businesses. The original radio shows that are being adapt ed for the Inverness stage “are some of the best shows we’ve done,” said Rex Young, one of Lewis and Young’s owners and a producer of the show. “It’s fun,” he said. Lewis and Young Entertainment is a production company that has staged other “radio” shows this past year, as well as honoring a monthly “Peeps in the Peep Sight” person who’s con tributed to area theater. Lewis and Young now is branching out to produce a video newsletter to inform people about what’s happening on the performing arts scene, Young said. It already produces “Citrus Theater Beat,” which features videos of local productions and actors. In addition to the “Peeps in the Peep Sight” awards it bestows each month, Lewis and Young Entertainment also honors people, businesses, and organizations that support the local arts with its video series, “Citrus Theater Beat Extra.” The videos can be seen at Lewis and Young’s website, lyeusa.com, and also on its YouTube channel. For the May 12-13 “radio” shows, the mood should be lighthearted, according to Young. “The Black Door” is an adventure story about dogmen. “If You Was a Moklin” is “a cute story, kind of happy and fun” about a planet where evolution occurs as parents choose which traits to bestow upon their offspring. And the inhabitants of this planet love humans, so the Moklins start becom ing more and more human. In “The Trap,” an alien wants to get rid of his wife and teletransports her to Earth. Mean while, two Earthlings who have been drinking are out hunting. And they stumble upon the alien wife. Those performing in “The Spring of Sci Fi” in clude Marco Wilson, Rachel Vazquez, Freedom, Harry Lewis, and Young. Tickets are $15 and are available at www.lye usa.com, or at www.valerietheatre.org. They also are available at the Valerie Theatre box of ce, open noon to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Sun day and one hour before the show. The Valerie Theatre is at 207 Courthouse Square, Inverness. For general questions, call 352-341-7850. Special to the Chronicle From left, back row, Mario Wilson, Rachel Vazquez and Freedom, and front row, from left, Harry Lewis and Rex Young, rehearse at Cady’s Cafe in Inverness for their May 12-13 show that’s at the Valerie Theatre in Inverness. “The Spring of Sci Fi” production features three plays produced as if they were part of a radio show. Producers of Valerie shows to start video newsletter By MARGO WILSON Chronicle Correspondent Lewis and Young Entertainment, a local production company de voted to promoting the local per forming arts, wants more people to know about the plays and perform ers in our midst and is creating a video newsletter to help keep peo ple informed. Rex Young said he, and co-found er of the production company, Har ry Lewis, feel that the ticket sales of the local performing arts groups would increase if people only knew what is going on. Young said many people in a community used to read local newspapers, but he feels the num ber of newspaper subscribers has tapered off and that people aren’t as informed as they might be about what is happening in their commu nity. Thus, Lewis and Young are start ing to create a video newsletter. Already, they have Citrus The ater Beat videos on their website, at wwwlyeusa.com. The videos feature the audio tracks of Lewis and Young’s March radio show. There’s an audio of the winner of a contest that Lewis and Young sponsored, in which an actor reads, “The Raven,” by Edgar Allan Poe. Area actor Larry Mitchell won the contest. There also is a video of Steve Hrycaj, who heads the Inverness Cultural Heritage Council, and of Inverness Old County Courthouse Historical Resources Program Assistant Andrea Cuccaro, who both discuss the programming and facilities at the Old County Court house. Lewis and Young have staged shows at the Old County Courthouse. The interview about the Old County Courthouse is billed on Lewis and Young’s website as a Citrus Theater Beat Extra. Lewis and Young also have a spot on their website for the public to list information about area shows and events. Anyone or any group, including Upcoming Valerie ‘radio’ show to be onstage May 12, 13, complete with live ads Special to the Chronicle There was a donation celebration following the 50 Legs Charity Run on March 11 in which Steve Chamberland, founder of 50 Legs, was presented with a check for the amount of $10,300. 50 Legs is an organization that provides prosthetics to amputees who otherwise may not be able to afford them. 50 LEGS CHARITY RUN GARNERS $10,300 Craft Council May Fest coming up at Plantation May 13 By CHRONICLE STAFF Grab your mom and set your sights on spring when the Citrus County Craft Council presents May Fest from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. May 13 at the Plantation on Crystal River.

Citrus County Chronicle Friday, April 21, 2023 C3 The Citrus County Craft Council had its Spring Fling Arts and Crafts Show on Saturday, April 1, at the Florida National Guard Armory in Crystal River, raising $737 to benefit the charity for the event, the Homosassa Lions Club. Pictured from left, standing are Lions Linda Gadke, Bill Riecke and Judy Trochimowicz. From left, sitting are Cit rus County Craft Council members Wanda Kenwor thy and Beverly Lisenby. Special to the Chronicle CRAFT COUNCIL RAISES MONEY FOR LIONS schools, can use this feature to let the public know whatÂ’s happening, Young said. And people can sign up on Lewis and YoungÂ’s website to receive emails about upcoming community produc tions. These services are free.In addition, Lewis and Young have a YouTube channel with promotional videos about their shows and about an upcoming show by the Valerie Play ers. Lewis and Young earn a little mon ey by selling “live commercials” that are delivered when they stage shows and by selling space in their playbills. They also will help people produce shows for a fee and will help them produce audio recordings, among oth er things. Young said Lewis and Young is one of the only local performing arts groups that pays actors and tech peo ple. Although the pay isnÂ’t substan tial, it might help offset transportation costs and at least recognizes the time, knowledge, and talent that local vol unteer performers offer. Young said that for most perform ers, “Money is not the motivator. But if someone is paying your gas money, itÂ’s worth it.” NEWSLETTERFrom page C1 April 22, at the United Methodist Church, 8831 W.

Citrus County Chronicle Friday, April 21, 2023 C5A & P A man’s choice to use a slur riles the familyDEAR AMY: At the end of an extremely long road trip, my ancée, her 16-year-old son and I stopped at a noisy sports bar at 9:30 p.m. – famished. As we waited for our food, I saw an article re-garding a woman who was recently red for us-ing a slang variant of “the N-word.” I turned to my ancée to recount the story, but in-stead of using the variant of the word I saw in the article, I leaned in and in a very low voice said the actual (offensive) word to her, never intending for her son to hear it. When we got into the car, her son vehemently questioned why I had used the word. I was stunned. His tone and aggres-sion were totally disproportionate to my action. I got angry because of his tone and told them. My ancée sided with her son.She said his tone was justi ed by my saying the word in his presence (we are all Northern European, by the way). I am a politically progressive American who has supported many Black candi-dates, worked for voting rights, and have many Black friends. My ancée has asked that I move back to my own house for an uncertain dura-tion. I have apologized for getting angry, but my ancée says that the problem was that I didn’t respect her son for standing up for his beliefs. She believes that I should have just apologized and ignored his tone. Your thoughts? – Stunned ManDEAR STUNNED: To be clear, it is possible to tell a story about a slur without choosing to use the slur. I believe your choice to invoke this offensive slur (rather than refer to it in an-other way), was deliberate and terrible. And you knew that this would likely of-fend others, which is why you decided to whisper it to your ancée. The teen waited until dinner was over and then confronted you. When communicating with teenagers, it’s wisest to avoid being triggered by their tone by addressing their core issue rst, and returning to the topic of tone lat-er. So yes, I agree with your ancée regarding responding to his teenage anger with your own anger. Furthermore, I give him props for confronting you about it – he has a voice and the right to use it. I also note that you say you have apologized for getting angry, but not for using the slur. If you are going to be in a family together, the adults need to be wise and brave enough to tackle huge challenges togeth-er, as a unit. The adults also need to mod-el good behavior by apologizing when they’ve made a mistake. Also – because you’ve chosen to assert your allyship, I note that you don’t seem to have asked your Black friends for their un ltered view of your choice, presum-ably because you don’t want to risk of-fending them. DEAR AMY: My wife and I were together for seven years and married for 16 months before I realized that she had been hav-ing an affair with a mentee that became a friend for several months. She went from wanting to work on our marriage to wanting space to decide what she wants. I moved out and she kept seeing the other girl. She recently said that things feel different between us. She wants to be OK and not be responsible for hurting people, so she thinks that the book is closing on the marriage. I have not spoken to her since, but she recently texted, saying, “I’m thinking of you, but I’m not sure if you want me to text. Should I text you?” How should I even respond? The last few months have been nothing but talk, and I’m sick of it. – Self Respect DEAR SELF RESPECT: I have great news for you. YOU are now in charge of this relationship – or what’s left of it. In my opinion, your response to your wife’s query should be – no response at all. Let her continue to “ nd herself” while listening to … crickets. It’s time to focus on your own health and healing. See a lawyer and a counselor. DEAR AMY: “Wanting Some Friends” was a young mom who wanted to make friends for herself and her kids.
