S aturday night, a Citrus Springs man shot a juvenile in the stomach as he rode an ATV near the man’s home. The young boy was airlifted to the University of Florida’s Shands Hospital. We reported the incident Tuesday morning. Where did we learn about this shooting? Not from the Citrus County Sheriff’s Ofce but from various phone calls and Facebook chatter. The sheriff did not produce a news release or send us a report. We eventually got our in-formation from the probable cause af-davit led with the courts, which ofcers have to le after an arrest. Had we not been notied by our readers, the public might still not know anything about the shooting. The incident occurred Saturday. As I began to write this column on Wednesday afternoon, the Sheriff’s Ofce had yet to release any information about the shooting. Not a word. No press release. No press conference. Not even a mention on APRIL 28, 2023www.chronicleonline.com HIGH Mostly cloudy, breezy, showers and storms.

A4Man accused in shooting has to give up guns for now By FRED HIERS Chronicle Reporter The Citrus Springs man accused Saturday of shoot ing at two juveniles and an adult driving a utility vehi cle by his home and hitting one in the stomach was or dered by the circuit court to hand over any rearms he still owns and not to pur chase any new ones. The order was the result of a request by the Citrus County Sheriff’s Ofce to the court for a protection order arguing that Michael Regalski, 65, was a danger to himself or others. Judge Richard Howard granted the request tempo rarily, but set a May 10th protective hearing at the Inverness court house to discuss the issue and how the court will move on from there. The order also requires Regalski to hand over any ammunition and guns in his possession, regardless of whether he owns them, and if he owns a concealed carry license. The sheriff’s ofce appli cation included statements from two of the victims saying that Regalski shot at them. Attorneys for Regalski did not return telephone calls from the Chronicle. Neither did Regalski Regalski pleaded not guilty Wednesday, accord ing to court records, and is scheduled to appear at the Inverness courthouse May 12. Regalski, 65, is also free on $65,000 bond, with the requirement that he not have contact with any of the three victims. The juvenile who was shot in the stomach is now home recovering after being air lifted to UF Health Shands hospital for treatment, ac cording to the sheriff’s of ce.

BATES Chronicle Reporter The Chronicle is publish ing an occasional ques tion-and-answer series focusing on inuential and interesting people in Citrus County. As president/CEO of the Citrus County Chamber of Commerce, Josh Wooten is on the front lines almost every day dealing with the business growth that has ex ploded in the last year or so. And he’s faced with chal lenges: How can the small er, mom-and-pop stores sur vive with so many big-name chains moving here? Is this growth happening too fast? The Chronicle invited Wooten to take part in a Q&A and he laid out his thoughts about the growth. Here’s what he said: Q: Citrus County is under going a growth spurt. The corner of County Roads 491 and 486 is being trans formed into a commer cial-residential hub. More housing developments are coming.

Q & A J OSH W OOTENJerry Springer, politician turned TV ringmaster, dies at 79 By DAN SEWELL Associated Press CINCINNATI — Jerry Springer, the onetime may or and news anchor whose namesake TV show fea tured a three-ring circus of dysfunctional guests willing to bare all – sometimes lit erally – as they brawled and hurled obscenities before a raucous audience, died Thursday at 79. At its peak, “The Jer ry Springer Show” was a ratings pow erhouse and a U.S. cultur al pariah, synonymous with lurid drama. Known for chair-throwing and bleep-lled arguments, the day time talk show was a favor ite American guilty pleasure over its 27-year run, at one point topping Oprah Win frey’s show. Springer called it “escapist entertainment,” while others saw the show as contribut ing to a dumbing-down decline in American social values. “Jerry’s ability to connect with people was at the heart of his success in everything he tried whether that was politics, broadcasting or just joking with people on the street who wanted a photo or a word,” said Jene Galvin, a family spokesperson and friend of Springer’s since 1970, in a statement. “He’s irreplaceable and his loss hurts immensely, but memo ries of his intellect, heart and humor will live on.” Springer died peacefully at home in suburban Chica go after a brief illness, the statement said On his Twitter prole, Springer jokingly declared himself as “Talk show host, ringmaster of civilization’s end.” He also often had told people, tongue in cheek, that his wish for them was “may you never be on my show.” After more than 4,000 episodes, the show end ed in 2018, never straying from its core salaciousness: Some of its last episodes had such titles as “Stripper Sex Turned Me Straight,” “Stop Pimpin’ My Twin Sister,” and “Hooking Up With My Therapist.” In a “Too Hot For TV” video released as his daily SPRINGER See SHOOTING , page A10 See EDITOR , page A4 See WOOTEN , page A10 See SPRINGER , page A4

IN BRIEF Crystal River to consider tougher rules at local parks By FRED HIERS Chronicle Reporter A smoking ban, limit ing public access to some Crystal River’s recreational attractions, and opening up a city park to dogs will all likely make up some of the new rules the city’s staff are asking elected ofcials to approve. Crystal River parks su pervisor Mike Corcoran will come back to the city council during its regularly scheduled meeting May 8th with proposed changes to the city’s parks codes. City Manager Ken Frink and parks supervisor Corcor an listed off some of the new codes the staff wanted and received mostly support from the council for the changes. “Instead of coming back directly with an ordinance, we have a few items we’d like to get any feedback from the council before we move forward, because some of these are substantial in nature and it will be nice to know ahead of time be fore we completely draft that ordinance,” Frink said. Frink and Corcoran told the council that proposed changes will include adding some of the city’s recreation al attractions, such as splash pad and crosstown trail, into the city’s parks codes. Corcoran said that will Smoking ban among the proposalsCultural Heritage Council announces scholarship winners By GEORGIA SULLIVAN Chronicle Reporter The Inverness Cultural Heritage Council (ICHC) is awarding three $1,000 scholarships to Citrus County students for the third year in a row: Chase Watkins and Jackson Tess mer of Citrus High School, and Kelie Shah of Lecanto High School.

BATES Chronicle Reporter Citrus County has hired an outside law rm to help in its legal ght with the Southwest Florida Wa ter Management District (SWFWMD) over own ership rights at the Chas sahowitzka River Camp ground and boat ramp. Commissioners on Tues day voted unanimously to retain Tampa-based Shutts & Bowen LLP with hopes of clearing up which entity owns the title to the boat ramp and paved parking area adja cent to the Chassahowitzka River Campground at 8600 W. Miss Maggie Drive in Homosassa. The law rm’s partner Su san Spurgeon said the rm has agreed to discount its hourly billing fee of $500 to $275. The county and SWFW MD have fought a war of words for months with both claiming rightful owner ship. The District led its law suit Feb. 28 in Citrus Coun ty Circuit Court. “As SWFWMD has as serted its ownership, I be lieve it prudent to have a title search completed along with additional research by outside counsel,” coun ty attorney Denis Dymond Lyn wrote last month in an agenda item. The Chassahowitzka Riv er Campground is popular with the public because they can navigate down the river with a small boat toward the Gulf and scalloping loca tions. District spokeswoman Su sanna Martinez Tarokh said Thursday that she could not comment on the commis sion’s hiring. “However, the District’s counsel has contacted the county’s outside counsel to express our willingness to nd a solution to this matter without court intervention,” she said. “We have not yet heard a response.

Facebook, the of ceÂ’s seemingly favorite means of conveying information. Sheriff Mike Prendergast has a knack for public rela-tions. He is good at it. His of ce does a good job at keeping his Facebook page updated with stories about the good things his deputies are doing and other things you would expect to see on a government social media site. But there is a difference between public relations and public information, particu-larly how it is performed by public servants. A public relations professional seeks to put an organization in the best light possible. You know what I mean. Lots of smiles, happy people doing good deeds. A good public relations de-partment doesnÂ’t lie or twist the truth, it just keeps the emphasis on making things look good. Public information is different. Sure, it has some similarities with public relations, but the mission is different. A government public information of cer in the SheriffÂ’s Of ce serves the public, not just the of cial they work for. They are pub-lic employees whose bosses are you. They are charged with responding to public records requests, requests for information about local crime and keeping the public informed about department matters, large and small. I have been in the news biz for 40 years. I have even been a public infor-mation of cer for a police department. I understand the difference between public relations and public infor-mation. It puzzles me, having seen a dozen Florida sheriffs at work throughout my career, that we donÂ’t receive releases about major traf c accidents or public safety events when they happen. I am also puzzled that our sheriffÂ’s website does not have a searchable database of arrests, like the majority of sheriffs do in Florida. The sheriff posts 10 days of arrests and then they are gone. Most sheriffÂ’s of ces allow you to search by date or by name. Our readers call us regularly and ask about crime-re-lated things they have seen going on in the community. Sadly, I have to politely point them back to the Sher-iffÂ’s Of ce. A young person being shot in our county is a big deal. Something we should know about. Understandably, there are details that law enforce-ment canÂ’t release while a crime is actively being investigated. How old are the kids? What was the con-dition of the young man who was shot in the stomach? I received lots of calls from readers asking for more information. So I asked the sheriff for answers in an email Tuesday morning at 9 a.m. I received an answer from one of the sheriffÂ’s public information of cers Wednesday at 5:03 p.m. that answered most of the ques-tions. Keep in mind, this was four days after the teen was shot in the stomach. One of the questions was why there was no public no-ti cation of the crime. The answer: “This was an isolat-ed incident with no threat to the public – our main con-cern is always public safety rst. However, this incident and arrest were published for public disclosure on our recent arrests page, as well as our crime map. No media conference was warranted for this incident.” IÂ’ll leave it up to you to decide if there was no public threat. A suspect shoots a teenager, is arrested and then released on bond. Those facts might be more interesting to the public in a way that a small mugshot with little explanation on a website and a dot on a map just doesnÂ’t convey. See for yourself. Go to the sheriffÂ’s website. Take a look at the Recent Arrests feature and see if you can gure out that a man shot at juveniles riding ATVs by his house. A well-run public information department answers questions from the media, even if it is to reply that there are some things you canÂ’t say yet. But you reply as quickly as you can because you understand that when you disseminate infor-mation to the media more people receive important facts. Not everyone in Citrus County is following the sheriffÂ’s Facebook page. The more outlets a government agency uses to disseminate information, the better the public is served. Recently, a juvenile was taken into custody for making a threat against Citrus Springs Elementary School. We have asked if the juvenile was charged with a crime. No answer from the sheriff on that incident, as well. You could imagine that parents and others would want to know the answer to that question. When I rst appeared on the job as Executive Editor, I asked to meet with the sheriff. He is an important member of the local estab-lishment and I wanted to extend an invitation for him to write a weekly column and work on building a cooperative relationship. At the meeting one of his high-placed of cers looked at me and said, “You need to understand something. We donÂ’t work for you. We work for him,” pointing to the sheriff. Last I checked, public employees work for the citizens of Citrus County. As the editor of your hometown paper I have been trying my best to give the sheriff the bene t of the doubt on many fronts. I in-vited him to write a weekly column in our paper and he has been doing a great job with that. We publish many of his public relations posts about promotions and programs occurring in the department. ThatÂ’s what we do and will continue to do. There may be a good reason for the sheriffÂ’s delay in releasing information about this case. But we deserve more than silence and delay when one of our young people is shot. It is your community newspaperÂ’s job to point out, when necessary, when a public servant isnÂ’t serving the public. This is one of those times.

Gerald Norman Springer was born Feb. 13, 1944, in a London underground rail-way station being used as a bomb shelter. His parents, Richard and Margot, were German Jews who ed to England during the Holo-caust, in which other rela-tives were killed in Nazi gas chambers. They arrived in the United States when their son was 5 and settled in the Queens borough of New York City, where Springer got his rst Yankees base-ball gear on his way to be-coming a lifelong fan. He studied political science at Tulane University and got a law degree from Northwestern University. He was active in politics much of his adult life, mull-ing a run for governor of Ohio as recently as 2017. He entered the arena as an aide in Robert F. KennedyÂ’s ill-fated 1968 presidential campaign. Springer, working for a Cincinnati law rm, ran unsuccessfully for Congress in 1970 before being elected to city council in 1971. In 1974 – in what The Cincinnati Enquirer report-ed as “an abrupt move that shook CincinnatiÂ’s politi-cal community” – Springer resigned. He cited “very personal family consider-ations,” but what he didnÂ’t mention was a vice probe involving prostitution. In a subsequent admission that could have been the basis for one of his future shows, Springer said he had paid prostitutes with personal checks. Then 30, he had married Micki Velton the previ-ous year. The couple had a daughter, Katie, and di-vorced in 1994. Springer quickly bounced back politically, winning a council seat in 1975 and serving as mayor in 1977. He later became a local tele-vision politics reporter with popular evening commen-taries. He and co-anchor Norma Rashid eventually helped build NBC af liate WLWT-TVÂ’s broadcast into the Cincinnati marketÂ’s top-rated news show. Springer began his talk show in 1991 with more of a traditional format, but af-ter he left WLWT in 1993, it got a sleazy makeover. TV Guide ranked it No. 1 on a list of “Worst Shows in the History of Television,” but it was ratings gold. It made Springer a celebrity who would go on to host a liberal radio talk show and “AmericaÂ’s Got Talent,” star in a movie called “Ring-master,” and compete on “Dancing With the Stars.” “With all the joking I do with the show, IÂ’m fully aware and thank God every day that my life has taken this incredible turn because of this silly show,” Spring-er told Cincinnati Enquirer media reporter John Kie-sewetter in 2011. Well in advance of Donald TrumpÂ’s political rise from reality TV stardom, Spring-er mulled a Senate run in 2003 that he surmised could draw on “nontraditional voters,” people “who be-lieve most politics are bull.” “I connect with a whole bunch of people who prob-ably connect more to me right now than to a tradi-tional politician,” Springer told the AP at the time. He opposed the war on Iraq and favored expanding public healthcare, but ultimately did not run. SPRINGERFrom page A1

No bond.Why not print the names?I’d like to know why the Chronicle doesn’t publish the names of people who call in to Sound Off. By the way, my name is Perry Lang, by all means print my name. I have nothing to hide. Editor’s note: The Sound Off sys-tem is anonymous, so the Chronicle does not receive people’s names. Leave Citrus aloneI’ve lived in Florida all my life and Citrus County is very beautiful place to raise a family and to live here, and we don’t want your big box stores. We don’t want all your homes being built here. We don’t need that here. This is a beautiful county; we should leave it as a beautiful coun-ty. And we certainly don’t need your “northern ways” brought here.On the move to where?I just read Steve Howard’s “Community that is on the move,” and I’m thinking, “move to where?” We’re going to have more people, trafc, auto accidents, road trash, crime, pollution, golfers, construction, con-crete noise, taxes, conges-tion, water and electricity consumption, and crowded restaurants, parks, beaches, lakes, etc. We’re going to have less tranquility, boat launch access, shing and hunting quality, natural beauty and the opposite of everything we’re wanting. That’s where beautiful Citrus County is moving to. Not that this will do any good and stop anything, but it’s good to get it off my mind.Panda manWhat happened to our Republican Party? I read the other day that Jesse Rumson was to be the speaker at North Suncoast Conser vative Club. So, what did he speak about? How he faces charges of assaulting, resist ing or impeding certain ofcers? Obstruction of law enforcement during civil dis order? Entering and remaining in restricted buildings and grounds? Disorderly and disruptive conduct? Engaging in physical vio lence while in the restrict ed buildings or grounds, acts of physical violence and parading and demon strating or ticketing while in capital buildings? Did he talk about how proud he was he did this? Did the club say how proud they were to prop him up on a pedestal because of his un lawful actions? What has happened to our Republi can Party?Response to ‘Take your pick’This is in response to the Sound Off titled, “Take your pick.” I agree with you that DeSantis has a brilliant mind, but he may not have an extreme per sonality. But that’s okay, it doesn’t take a person ality to run the country and get things done right. As far as Trump goes and “taking advantage of people in the ghetto,” I don’t think so. I think you should do a little more re search on him and you’ll see. I voted for Trump before, and I will vote for him again.Horse racing industry doesn’t need tax breaksThere was a letter writ ten in the Sunday, April 23, Chronicle by Ben Benassi “Why is our state senator giving tax breaks to horse racing?” Thank you so much for your let ter. I was appalled when I read that myself. Number one, I don’t support horse racing. I know millions of people do, but if people realized what happens on the small tracks and how many horses are run to their death with small breaks and cracks in their legs until they fall down completely and break them, and then they have to put them down, maybe they wouldn’t be so supportive of it. That being said, the thorough bred industry does not warrant or deserve my tax money to support it, and I thank you Mr. Benassi for bringing this to people’s attention. I think Blaise Ingoglia has a lot of bad ideas, and I denitely believe that this is one of them. So, I support your letter and I support not giving horse racing any of my tax money.Keep kids from getting gunsI really liked your editorial about the three teens in Marion County who killed the three other teens. You explained that there are many, many factors to be looked at and it’s important to look at the root causes of such a horrible crime, and I agree. One of the root causes that you should have mentioned in my opinion was where did they get the guns? My understanding is that they stole the guns from cars. And, of course, they would have been unlocked in the cars. People need to lock up their guns and then we wouldn’t have so many crimes to worry about. It’s not the only solution, but it’s an im portant solution. Keep the kids from getting the guns in the rst place.Actually, we do need electric vehiclesOn Earth Day, I am reading the Sound Off titled, “Electric vehicles, just think about it.” In the April 18 Chronicle, as the “Greta Thunberg of Citrus County,” I’m appalled that someone could write such a piece. My son-in-law and daughter have taken their Mercedes Electric across country with charging stations available twen-ty-four-seven. The grid will handle it ne. We need electric vehicles to save the earth. People are starv-ing in South Sudan from climate-change-induced ooding of their land. A similar thing is happening in the area around Kings County, California, where 1,000 square miles of prime agricultural land is ooded.Then why move here?I’m calling in response to the Sound Off entitled, “Loved that headline.” I understand you’re from New York and you have moved down here, and you think that all of us South-erners are uneducated, so I have a question for you. Why did you move here?Failure to planThis is about the article on April 23, “Communi-ty that is on the move.” Failure to plan is a planned failure, or a tainted plan invites failure. Citizens’ safety is priority one. The “more plan” hasn’t changed. Period.DeSantis said it jokinglyResponding to an April 23 Sound Off titled, “Gov-ernment overreach at its nest.” Writer says they read in the paper where Governor DeSantis wants to put a jail next to Disney World. If you had heard his speech on that, he said it jokingly. Of course, the pa-per would make it a serious comment.Officials need to work togetherCounty, city and state ofcials need to participate in a transportation plan for Citrus County and all of the Nature Coast. The Chron-icle should win a Pulitzer Prize for the editorial on April 24, “Can we afford to not work together on growth issues?” The status quo on trafc woes will not work.Got a ticket while following the lawReferencing a public hearing in Hernando on Forest Ridge: My handicap sticker is on my dashboard because the top piece is broken. And citizen patrol comes and gives me a ticket warning me that this is handicap parking, and guess where they put it? Exactly where my hand-icap sticker was visible. Apparently, I guess the citizens patrol cannot read. Really pathetic.May be a correlation here …When people see the level of anger which those who call themselves Evangeli-cal Christians have toward those who do not agree with their political beliefs, and when they see the level of devotion which these same Evangelicals held for a man who was, in my opinion, the most corrupt individual to ever occupy the White House, they might be discouraged from going to church. That is perhaps not a coincidence that these two things have happened at the same time.Complaining doesn’t solve anythingI just read that Commissioner Schlabach is quite upset about the county within the last 20 years not doing its legwork in pre-paring for this major storm of growth that they have created and planned on, but they are not and have not protected the county and made everything available like infrastructure and updated roads. If she’s so upset about it, why don’t we hear about all this progress and promotion of road rehab and infrastruc-ture and sewer lines, why is she complaining if she’s not doing anything? Do something about it. SOUND OFFCALL 563-0579 Atime-honoredcommunitytradition! Sharethenewsofyournewbirthwith ourkeepsakeprintannouncements.

A6 Friday, April 28, 2023 Citrus County ChronicleFla. House tax package gets bipartisan backing By JIM TURNER News Service of Florida TALLAHASSEE — The Florida House on Thursday unanimously approved a wide-ranging $1.38 billion tax package that would in clude savings for shoppers and businesses, as leaders work out differences with the Senate. The House bill (HB 7063) would offer shoppers a se ries of expanded sales-tax “holidays” on back-to-school items, hurricane-pre paredness supplies, summer activities and tool purchas es. As an example, the state would offer two back-toschool holidays, after offer ing one in the past. “This year we hit a home run,” Rep. Dianne Hart, D-Tampa, said. “You know, for ve years IÂ’ve want ed schools to have a better sales (tax) holiday. I could not be more pleased with having two back-to-school holidays. IÂ’m excited about it. I know that this will mean a lot to many parents.” Most of the tax-holiday plans match what is includ ed in a Senate version of the tax package (SB 7062). Both versions also would provide tax exemptions on items such as diapers, adult incontinence products, gas stoves, Energy Star ap pliances and oral-hygiene products. “What weÂ’re doing in this tax package, especially as it relates to – and I can speak for young families that have young kids – you have a newborn, youÂ’re someone in need,” Rep. James Buchan an, R-Osprey, said. “And so, weÂ’re helping the broadest portion of the population that is in need.” Rep. Berny Jacques, R-Seminole, said he heard from voters last year that providing a tax break on dental products would help working families whose vis its to dentists “can be few and far between.” The Senate package would provide about $1 billion in tax savings. Among the big gest differences is that the House wants to temporarily reduce a commercial-lease tax from 5.5 percent to 4.5 percent. “Obviously, if we can bring the business rent-tax in for a landing, you know I think itÂ’s about $310 (million), $312 million, thatÂ’s going to be a direct impact right back into the economy of the state of Florida,” House Ways & Means Chairman Stan Mc Clain, R-Ocala, said. In 2021, the Legislature di rected the commercial-lease tax to be cut to 2 percent when revenue from sales-tax collections on out-of-state retailers replenishes the stateÂ’s Unemployment Compensation Trust Fund, which became depleted during the COVID-19 pan demic. A staff analysis of the House bill projected the trust fund would be made whole in May 2024. That would lead to reducing the commercial-lease tax to 2 percent starting Aug. 1, 2024. The House bill would temporarily set the rate at 4.5 percent before it would drop to 2 percent. “In the future, IÂ’d real ly love to see us trying to get that 2 percent down to zero,” Rep. Chip LaMarca, R-Lighthouse Point, said. The Senate proposal in cludes such things as $35 million to offset proper ty-tax refunds that counties are providing to homeown ers whose properties were uninhabitable for at least 30 days after Hurricane Ian or Hurricane Nicole. Also, it would provide tax savings of $4.1 million on the pur chase of rearm-storage de vices and $27.5 million on equine products and $32.9 million in credits on brown eld site cleanups. The House and Senate bills include two 14-day back-to-school tax holidays that would allow shoppers to buy such things as clothes, school supplies and com puters without paying sales taxes. Those holidays would be held before the fall and spring terms. Also, the state would hold a 14-day tax holiday in May and June to allow people to buy disaster-preparedness supplies without paying sales taxes. That period also would include exemptions on certain household items and supplies for pets. In addition, the state would hold a “Freedom Summer” tax holiday from Memorial Day through Labor Day that would provide a sales-tax exemption on certain rec reational gear and outdoor activities and a seven-day “Tool Time” tax holiday in September for tools and equipment. House and Senate leaders could reach an agreement on a tax package as they nish negotiating a budget for the upcoming 2023-2024 scal year.Most of the tax-holiday plans match what is included in a Senate version of the packageFlorida Senate passes controversial elections changes By DARA KAM News Service of Florida TALLAHASSEE — The Florida Senate on Wednes day approved a sweeping elections bill aimed at con tinuing Republican leadersÂ’ efforts to crack down on vot er-registration groups and ensuring Gov. Ron DeSantis doesnÂ’t have to resign from ofce to run for president. Under the bill, approved along party lines, voter-reg istration groups could face a maximum of $250,000 in nes each year – ve times the current $50,000 annual cap – for violating laws such as failing to submit complet ed registration applications to elections supervisors within 10 days. The bill (SB 7050), which now will go to the House, also would shorten the time for voters to request mail-in ballots. The Republican-con trolled Legislature for years has backed measures tar geting what are known as “third-party” registration groups, imposing hefty nes and other sanctions for fail ing to comply with laws. About 2,000 groups have registered with the state to be able to sign up voters, but not all are active, Senate Eth ics and Elections Chairman Danny Burgess, R-Zeph yrhills, said during debate Wednesday. Democrats pointed to re search that indicated one out of 10 Black voters and one out of 10 Hispanic voters use third-party groups to sign up to vote. They argued that increased penalties are de signed to make it harder for Black and Hispanic voters to cast ballots. Also, Democrats said pro posed changes are aimed at keeping Republicans, who hold supermajorities in the House and Senate, in con trol. The bill is designed to “achieve the outcomes that the people in power want,” Sen. Geraldine Thompson, D-Windermere, said. “This really is suppression. It is suppression, just like poll taxes. That was sup pression. Just like violence against people who want ed to vote was suppression. Just like intimidation when you had the Ku Klux Klan march through cer tain commu nities was suppression,” Thomp son, who is Black, said. “So I see differ ent characters but the same objective, and thatÂ’s to make sure that only certain people vote.” But Burgess, who is help ing shepherd the bill, disput ed DemocratsÂ’ objections. “This bill does not and will not hinder anyoneÂ’s right to vote, nor would I ever subscribe my name to something that could even remotely be concluded to be voter suppression. There is nothing in this bill that makes it harder for a law fully registered voter to cast their ballot,” he said. The measure also includes a contentious provision that would change the wording on voter-registration cards. The proposed change came after about 20 people were arrested for voting illegal ly, including some who be lieved they were eligible to vote because county super visors of elections had pro vided voter ID cards. Confusion over voter eligi bility stems, in part, from a 2018 constitutional amend ment that restored voting rights to felons who had ful lled their sentences. Under a law passed by the Legisla ture and signed by DeSantis in 2019, felons must pay fees and nes associated with their crimes to be eligi ble to vote. But determining whether nes and fees have been zeroed out, especially in cases that are decades old, has proven to be an onerous and in some cases impossi ble endeavor. The bill would change the wording on voter-registra tion cards to make it clear that the onus is on individ uals – not on state or local elections ofcials – to deter mine voting eligibility. “This card is for infor mation purposes only. This card is proof of registration but not legal verication of eligibility to vote. It is the responsibility of a voter to keep his or her eligibility status current. A voter may conrm his or her eligibil ity with the Department of State,” new voter-registra tion cards would say. A coalition of groups, in cluding the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida, Common Cause Florida and the Florida State Conference of the NAACP, sent a let ter to legislative leaders on Tuesday objecting to numer ous parts of the bill, includ ing the proposed ID card wording. The wording “sends mixed signals to voters, and in some cases may dissuade eligible citizens from voting altogether. It also continues the stateÂ’s pattern of behav ior in abdicating its role in verifying voter eligibility and passes that responsibil ity on to average citizens, who do not know the com plexities of election law,” the coalitionÂ’s letter said. But, Burgess said, “adding the disclaimer is a good no tice to the voter of stuff that could potentially happen to day, as it is.” The bill also would require county clerks of court to pro vide weekly reports to elec tions supervisors identifying registered voters who have been convicted of felonies and whose voting rights ha venÂ’t been restored. Current ly, the state Division of Elec tions sends lists of agged voters to local ofcials, who are responsible for removing people from the voting rolls. Sen. Tracie Davis, a Jack sonville Democrat who worked for the Duval Coun ty supervisor of elections of ce for more than a decade, said local elections ofcials donÂ’t have the resources or training to vet votersÂ’ eligi bility. “We have spoken to many supervisors of elections that are saying they donÂ’t know how to do this,” she said. The bill also “claries” that an elected ofcial in Florida would not have to resign from ofce to run for president or vice president. Although DeSantis has not formally announced his can didacy, he is widely expect ed to seek the Republican presidential nomination next year. “What I wanted to do, be cause everybody has been talking about it, I just want ed to clarify it for everyone thatÂ’s out there. So, thatÂ’s what the amendment does. It says if you are running for president or vice president, you do not need to resign,” said Sen. Travis Hutson, a St. Augustine Republican who sponsored an amend ment that included the re sign-to-run change. But Sen. Jason Pizzo, D-Hollywood, argued De Santis shouldnÂ’t get special treatment. “Folks, I donÂ’t think that the governor should be able to be politically married but continue to date,” Pizzo said.A coalition of groups sent a letter to legislative leaders objecting to numerous parts of the bill BURGESS LetÂ’sTalk guardianadlitem.organdRebeccaMartinOurMission:rnrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rr rrrrrrrrrrrrr OurVision: nrWhatWeDo:nrÂrÂrrr r rrr rrrrrrrrrrÂrrrr rrrrrrrr rr rrrrÂrÂrrrrrrrrrrrrÂrnrÂrÂrrr rrÂrrr ÂrÂrrr rÂrr rr nrÂrrr€r rrrÂrrrrrrrrrr nrrrr rÂrrrrr rrrr r rrÂrr r rr rrrrrr‚rƒ„nrÂrÂrrrrrrrrrrÂrrr rr rr rrrrÂ…r rr r r†rrrnrrrrrrrÂrrr€rrrr rnrÂrrrnrrrrnrÂrÂrrr TheGALprogramneeds volunteers.Interested?Pickupa yerfromtheCitrusGALof cein thecountycourthouse, rst oor.

DeSantis says Disney lawsuit is political By MOSHE EDRI and TIA GOLDENBERG Associated Press JERUSALEM — Flori da Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday shrugged off Dis neyÂ’s lawsuit against him as politically motivated, and said that it was time for the iconic company to stop en joying favorable treatment in his state. Disney sued DeSantis on Wednesday over the Re publicanÂ’s appointment of a board of supervisors in its self-governed theme park district, alleging the governor waged a “targeted campaign of government re taliation” after the company opposed a law critics call, “DonÂ’t Say Gay.” The legal ling is the lat est salvo in a more than year-old feud between Dis ney and DeSantis that has engulfed the governor in criticism as he prepares to launch an expected 2024 presidential bid. “TheyÂ’re upset because theyÂ’re having to live by the same rules as every body else. They donÂ’t want to pay the same taxes as ev erybody else and they want to be able to control things without proper oversight,” DeSantis said during a vis it to Israel. “The days of putting one company on a pedestal with no account ability are over in the state of Florida.” DeSantis was speaking on the third leg of an interna tional trip meant to burnish his foreign policy creden tials ahead of a potential campaign for the Repub lican presidential nomina tion as a key rival to former President Donald Trump. DeSantis has dived head long into the fray with Disney, a major driver of tourism and a font for em ployment in Florida, as business leaders and White House rivals have bashed his stance as a rejection of the small-government te nets of conservatism. The ght began last year after Disney, in the face of signicant pressure, pub licly opposed a state law that bans classroom les sons on sexual orientation and gender identity in early grades, a policy critics call “DonÂ’t Say Gay.” DeSantis then took over Disney WorldÂ’s self-govern ing district and appointed a new board of supervisors to oversee municipal services in the sprawling theme parks. But before the new board came in, the company pushed though an 11th-hour agreement that stripped the new supervisors of much of their authority. The Disney lawsuit asks a federal judge to void the governorÂ’s takeover of the theme park district, as well as the DeSantis oversight boardÂ’s actions, on the grounds that they were vio lations of the companyÂ’s free speech rights. In a speech to a conference at JerusalemÂ’s Museum of Tolerance, DeSantis also spelled out his Middle East policy, speaking of the im portance of the U.S.-Israel alliance. He said Israel was the only authority that could protect freedom of worship for all in combustible Jeru salem and that the U.S. em bassy was rightfully moved to the city by the Trump ad ministration, despite opposi tion from Palestinians. He repeated his opposition to the deal that aimed to rein in IranÂ’s nuclear program, saying it empowered that countryÂ’s rulers rather than held them back. The Iran nu clear deal passed under for mer President Barak Obama. His successor, Trump, re voked the U.S. agreement to it. In a critique of President Joe Biden, DeSantis also said that the U.S. shouldnÂ’t interfere in the way that Is rael chooses to be governed. Biden voiced concerns last month about a contentious Israeli government plan to overhaul the countryÂ’s judiciary. DeSantis began his multi-country trip in Japan and then traveled to South Korea. After Israel, he heads to Britain. Maya Alleruzzo / AP Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis waves as he arrives to a conference titled “Celebrate the Faces of Israel” Thursday at JerusalemÂ’s Museum of Tolerance.Woman whose claim caused Emmett Till murder has died By EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press JACKSON, Miss. — The white woman who accused Black teenager Emmett Till of whistling at her – causing his 1955 lynching in Mis sissippi, which galvanized a generation of activists to rise up in the Civil Rights Move ment – has died at 88. Carolyn Bryant Donham died in hospice care Tues day night in Westlake, Lou isiana, according to a death report led Thursday in the Calcasieu Parish CoronerÂ’s Ofce. Her death marks the last chance for anyone to be held accountable for a kidnap ping and brutal murder that shocked the world. TillÂ’s mother, Mamie Till Mobley, insisted on an open-casket funeral in their hometown of Chicago so the world could see her 14-year-old sonÂ’s mutilated body, which was pulled from a riv er in Mississippi. Jet maga zine published photos. In August 1955, Till had traveled from Chicago to visit relatives in Mississip pi. Donham – then 21 and named Carolyn Bryant – accused him of making im proper advances on her at a grocery store where she was working in the small com munity of Money. The Rev. Wheeler Parker, a cousin of Till who was there, has said Till whistled at the woman, an act that ew in the face of MississippiÂ’s racist social codes of the era. Evidence indicates a wom an identied Till to Don hamÂ’s then-husband Roy Bryant and his half-brother J.W. Milam, who killed the teenager. An all-white jury acquitted the two white men in the killing, but the men later confessed in an inter view with Look magazine. When Till disappeared in Mississippi, Ollie Gordon – one of TillÂ’s cousins – was 7 years old and living in the Chicago home with TillÂ’s mother and family. Gordon told The Associat ed Press on Thursday that in the days following when he went missing, the home was full of fear, because people knew there was a strong likelihood he had been killed. Gordon said she had mixed emotions about Don hamÂ’s death. “She was never tried in the court of man,” Gordon said. “But I think she was judged by God, and his wrath is more punitive than any judgement or penalty she could have gotten in a court room. I donÂ’t think she had a pleasant or happy life.” Parker is the last living witness to TillÂ’s abduction. He and Till were staying at an uncleÂ’s home in Missis sippi when Till was taken in the dark of night. Parker said Thursday that his heart goes out to Donham. “As a person of faith for more than 60 years, I rec ognize that any loss of life is tragic and donÂ’t have any ill will or animosity toward her,” Parker said in a state ment. “Even though no one now will be held to account for the death of my cousin and best friend, it is up to all of us to be accountable to the challenges we still face in overcoming racial injus tice.” Last year, President Joe Biden was proud to sign the Emmett Till Anti-Lynch ing Act to make lynching a federal crime, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Thursday. “The president is commit ted to ... dealing with racial hatred,” Jean-Pierre said. In an unpublished memoir obtained by The Associated Press in 2022, Donham said she was unaware of what would happen to Till. The contents of the 99page manuscript, titled “I am More Than A Wolf Whistle,” were rst report ed by the Mississippi Cen ter for Investigative Report ing. Historian and author Timothy Tyson of Durham, North Carolina, who said he obtained a copy from Don ham while interviewing her in 2008, provided a copy to the AP. Tyson had placed the man uscript in an archive at the University of North Caroli na with the agreement that it not be made public for decades, though he said he gave it to the FBI during an investigation the agency concluded in 2021. He said he decided to make it public after some of TillÂ’s relatives and other people doing re search at the Leore Coun ty, Mississippi, courthouse in June 2022 found an ar rest warrant on kidnapping charges that was issued for “Mrs. Roy Bryant” in 1955 but never served. Tyson said in a statement Thursday that DonhamÂ’s precise role in the killing of Till remains murky, but itÂ’s clear she was involved. “It has comforted America to see this as merely a sto ry of monsters, her among them,” Tyson said. “What this narrative keeps us from seeing is the monstrous so cial order that cared noth ing for the life of Emmett Till nor thousands more like him. Neither the fed eral government nor the government of Mississippi did anything to prevent or punish this murder. Con demning what Donham did is easier than confronting what America was – and is.” Last year, members of the New Black Panther Party and other activists, began showing up at addresses associated with the aging Donham, including in North Carolina and Kentucky. They were there to serve unofcial “warrants” for her arrest and trial. Weeks after the unserved arrest warrant was found, the ofce of Mississippi At torney General Lynn Fitch said there was no new evi dence to pursue a criminal case against Donham. In August, a district attorney said a Leore County grand jury declined to indict Don ham. TillÂ’s cousin, Priscilla Sterling, led a federal law suit against the current Le ore County Sheriff, Ricky Banks, on Feb. 7, seeking to compel him to serve the 1955 warrant on Donham. In a response April 13, BanksÂ’ attorney said there was no point serving the warrant on Donham be cause the grand jury did not indict her last year. The Emmett Till Legacy Foundation, run by some of TillÂ’s relatives, posted a blank black square to social media sites Thursday after news of DonhamÂ’s death was reported. rn  Â r n Richard T.

The S&P 500 jumped 2 percent to erase all its losses from what had been a tough week so far. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 524 points, or 1.6 percent, while the Nasdaq compos ite led the market with a 2.4 percent gain. Facebook’s parent compa ny did some of the heaviest lifting, and it jumped 13.9 percent. Not only did Meta beat analysts’ estimates for prot during the rst three months of the year, it also gave a forecast for revenue that topped expectations. It joined Microsoft and Alphabet, which reported better-than-expected re sults earlier in the week, and Amazon followed suit after trading closed for the day. They’re among the most inuential stocks on Wall Street indexes because they’re some of the biggest. The majority of compa nies have been beating fore casts so far this earnings reporting season. Hasbro climbed 14.6 percent, and Comcast rose 10.3 percent after they also topped Wall Street’s estimates. But ex pectations were broadly low coming into this reporting season because of still-high ination, much higher in terest rates and a slowing economy. A report on Thursday gave the rst indication of just how much the U.S. econ omy is slowing: down to an estimated 1.1 percent growth at an annual rate during the rst three months of 2023 from 2.6 percent at the end of last year. That was worse than expected, but the economy may be in better shape than it looks. Underneath the surface, the report showed strength at the economy’s core, with growth in spending by consumers and other ar eas accelerating. Much of the weakness was related to businesses thinning out inventories. Also within the data, though, was a measure of ination that the Fed likes to use, which came in hotter than hoped. A separate report showed that fewer workers applied for unemployment benets last week, raising hope that the job market may remain resilient as other areas slow. “In our view, pulled all to gether, the conicting data signals to us that we are in the ‘bend, not break’ phase of the cycle” for the economy, said Alexandra Wilson-Eli zondo, co-head of portfolio management for multi asset solutions at Goldman Sachs Asset Management. As a whole, investors took the data to mean the Federal Reserve next week will see the economy is still strong enough to handle another hike to interest rates at its next meeting. The Fed has been rais ing rates at a furious pace since early last year, up to the highest level since 2007 from its record low. It’s do ing so in hopes of getting the nation’s high ination under control, but high rates do that by slowing the entire economy and hurting prices for investments. Treasury yields jumped immediately after the re lease of the economic re ports as traders upped their forecasts for the Fed and rates. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 3.52 per cent from 3.45 percent late Wednesday. It helps set rates for mortgages and other im portant loans. The two-year yield, which moves more on expecta tions for the Fed, rose more aggressively. It climbed to 4.08 percent from 3.95 per cent. High rates have hit some areas of the economy par ticularly hard, including the housing and manufacturing industries. Banks have also come under pressure on fears that scared customers may suddenly yank all their deposits at once. The hunt has been on for potential weak links, and Wall Street’s spotlight has been particularly harsh on First Republic Bank. Its stock has more than halved this week after it gave de tails about how much in de posits its customers pulled following the secondand third-largest U.S. bank fail ures in history last month. Its stock steadied a bit Thursday, rising 8.8 percent. The larger worry is that the banking industry’s struggles could lead to a pullback in lending across the economy. That in turn could tighten the brakes even further, act ing almost like another hike to interest rates. That has many investors preparing for a possible recession this year, which could mean further hits to corporate prots. It’s also why investors have been paying just as much, if not more, attention to what companies say about up coming trends as to what they actually did in the past three months. Caterpillar, considered a bellwether for the glob al economy, slipped 0.9 percent despite reporting stronger prot and revenue for the latest quarter than expected. Analysts pointed to concerns that its prot ability may have maxed out. It also beneted from a big ger-than-expected buildup in dealer inventories. Crocs tumbled 15.9 per cent despite reporting stron ger prot and revenue for its latest quarter than expect ed. The footwear company gave nancial forecasts for the current quarter that fell short of some analysts’ ex pectations. All told, the S&P 500 rose 79.36 points to 4,135.35. The Dow gained 524.29 to 33,826.16, and the Nas daq climbed 287.89 to 12,142.24. In markets overseas, stock indexes were mixed in Eu rope and modestly higher across much of Asia. Japan’s Nikkei 225 rose 0.1 percent as the Bank of Japan began a two-day mon etary policy meeting under its new governor, Kazuo Ueda. No immediate change is expected to the nation’s super-easy monetary policy. allow the city to create vis iting hours for those attrac tions, that still fall outside the parks’ operations. Frink told the council that it’s not the general public that’s creating an issue, but rather people are allowed to go and linger at those attrac tions 24 hours a day, every day if they want to, and cur rently there’s “nothing you can do about it.” Mayor Joe Meek said he was hesitant to restrict pub lic use, especially on trails, but Frink said the city could create more expanded hours for some recreational areas, different than the rest of the parks’ hours. Corcoran also said he will propose a ban on smoking on park property, “mainly because of the amount of trash that it does cause. We spend a tremendous amount of time … picking up ciga rette butts, trash from cig arette boxes, all types of things.” State law now allows indi vidual municipalities to de cide whether to allow smok ing in public places. Corcoran also told the council he will propose making Kings Bay Park into a dog friendly park, that al lows pet owners to bring their dogs on a leash. He said the River Walk already surrounds the park and the river walk allows dogs on a leash. The council supported the proposal. Corcoran will also propose a ban in all its parks of jump ing into the water from park docks and piers. He will also ask permis sion to cite or even tow ve hicles left overnight at park parking lots, he said. The council will hold its regularly scheduled meet ing 5:30 p.m. May 8, at City Hall, 123 Northwest High way 19, Crystal River. Fred Hiers is a reporter at the Citrus Chronicle.

A10 Friday, April 28, 2023 Citrus County Chronicle and retention of its natural beauty? A: “Directing major growth to the Central Ridge has been a goal of the coun ty for nearly 30 years. This is where utilities, and trans portation infrastructure in vestments have been made. The reasoning was to push heavy development out of environmentally sensitive and ood-prone areas. It should come as no secret that this area is experiencing commercial growth to serve the growing population. “I think what is surprising is the speed in which the development is occurring. Florida is as popular as ever and as the state grows, more and more people are discov ering Citrus County. The opening and expansion of the parkway is certainly a factor in the level of growth we are currently experienc ing. “The county can protect our natural beauty by allow ing growth where it makes sense and protecting what is so special about our com munity. This does not mean no growth, it means quality growth with high standards that brings value to our cit izens.” Q: Small-business is the lifeblood of Citrus County. Will the preponderance of these big-box chains threat en mom and pops? A: ”We have a wonderful business community here. Many are mom and pops who add to the character of our county. We have some of the best local restaurants anywhere. I think our smaller local businesses will do ne. “As a chamber we al ways encourage shopping local rst. The chains and box stores start showing up when the local demograph ics dictate the need and abil ity to support them. More choices can be benecial by keeping the money circulat ing on the local level rath er than traveling to another county or shopping online. “While I prefer our locally owned and operated busi nesses, boxes pay a lot of taxes and employ a lot of our friends and neighbors. I believe with a healthy bal ance, they can co-exist.” Q: What role does the chamber play in all this growth? A: “The Chamber is here to advocate for our businesses. We want to make sure they have the climate to grow and prosper. We encourage sensible, sustainable growth that allows us to maintain and enhance our quality of life.” Q: What are the pros and cons of more commercial development? A: “The pros are more choices for our residents, a diversied tax base, more jobs. The cons are growing beyond a rate that our local government can keep up with the infrastructure and competing with our small er local businesses for con sumer dollars.” Q: What is the cause of this development? A: “We are the Sunshine State. We have no state income tax, we are being billed as a state that allows you personal freedoms and Citrus County has a lifestyle people want. The parkway is also a major factor for us locally.” Q: Is our infrastructure strong enough to handle this unprecedented growth? A: “No. Some of our lo cal leaders did not see the urgency of preparing our county for growth. I do believe with some recent changes in leadership at the county level, we are getting better positioned to control our destiny.” Q: Is this an exciting time to live in Citrus County? Why or why not? A: “I think this is a very exciting time. ItÂ’s under standable that some of us are apprehensive about the rate of growth we are expe riencing but I am optimistic that we still have a chance to get it right.” Michael D. Bates is a staff writer with the Citrus County Chronicle and can be reached at mbates@chronicleonline.com.Bill restricting public employee unions headed to DeSantis By JIM SAUNDERS News Service of Florida TALLAHASSEE — The Florida House on Wednes day gave nal approval to a controversial plan that would place additional re strictions on public-em ployee unions, teeing up the issue for Gov. Ron DeSan tis. Union members repeat edly came to the Capitol to ght the bill (SB 256), but it moved quickly through the Senate before passing the Republican-controlled House in a 72-44 vote. Nine House Republicans joined Democrats in opposing the bill. Among other things, the bill would prevent dues from being deducted from workersÂ’ paychecks, forc ing union members to make separate payments. Also, it would require gauging how many eligible employ ees are dues-paying union members. If fewer than 60 percent of eligible employ ees are members, unions would have to be recertied as bargaining agents. In addition, it would al low public employers to challenge unionÂ’ applica tions to renew registrations as bargaining agents if the employers think the appli cations are inaccurate. Also, it would require unions to have audited nancial statements, which would need to be made available to members. House sponsor Dean Black, R-Jacksonville, said the bill would increase transparency and make unions stronger. “This bill is good for workers, and it will be good for the unions,” Black said. But opponents argued the bill was an attack on unions and would hurt workers. “Our constituents deserve better than union-busting tactics like these,” Rep. Rita Harris, D-Orlando, said. The bill would affect a wide range of public-em ployee unions, including teachers unions. But it would exempt unions rep resenting law-enforcement ofcers, correctional of cers and reghters. Similar bills were pro posed repeatedly in recent years, but issues such as the elimination of dues de ductions did not pass. The Republican-controlled Sen ate, however, voted 23-17 on March 29 to approve this yearÂ’s version, clearing the way for WednesdayÂ’s House vote. DeSantis is expected to sign the measure. Teachers unions played a key role in supporting Dem ocratic gubernatorial can didate Charlie Crist in his unsuccessful bid last year to unseat DeSantis. CristÂ’s running mate, Karla Her nandez-Mats, is president of the Miami-Dade County teachers union. The Florida Education Association statewide union issued a news release Wednesday that suggested the bill could face a legal challenge and described DeSantis as a “dictator want-to-be.” “If Gov. DeSantis thinks he will silence us, heÂ’s dead wrong,” FEA President Andrew Spar said in a pre pared statement. “We will do everything in our power to guarantee that FloridaÂ’s teachers, staff, professors and all public employ ees have a voice in their workplaces. No matter the pushback, educators will continue to stand up for our students, our professions and public education.” But Vincent Vernuccio, se nior labor policy adviser for Workers for Opportunity, a group that supports such pro posals in numerous states, described the bill as “union democracy at its best.” “Teachers and other pub lic workers will know their rights,” Vernuccio said in a prepared statement. “TheyÂ’ll know exactly how much union membership costs them each year. And theyÂ’ll know that, if their union isnÂ’t serving them, they can do something about it.”The bill would affect a wide range of public-employee unions, including teachers unionswith attempted premedi tated murder, two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, shooting into a vehicle, and tamper ing with evidence. According to the sher iffÂ’s ofce, no additional charges are pending now. SheriffÂ’s Ofce spokes woman Madeline Scarbor ough told the Chronicle that the detectiveÂ’s inves tigation concluded that the three victimsÂ’ were never on RegalskiÂ’s property. According to RegalskiÂ’s arrest records, the CCSO investigating detective was dispatched to the corner of North Pavilion Loop and West Nieman Drive in Cit rus Springs about a shoot ing. According to arrest re cords, the driver told the investigating detective he was driving his familyÂ’s utility vehicle with his two friends for fun. The driver said that while driving south on North Pa vilion Loop from one sand pit to another, he heard two loud noises as they passed a garage with its inside lights on. The driver pulled the ve hicle over to the south of RegalskiÂ’s home on North Pavilion Loop. That was when the front passenger told his friends he felt a pain in his lower, right side of his stomach. According to records, the front passenger reached down to feel the area and saw that his hand was cov ered in blood. The driver and passenger said they tried to stop the bleeding as they called 911 for help. The three victims are 18,15, and 14. It was one of the juvenileÂ’s that was shot. According to the arrest re port, Regalski told the de tective he was on the north side of his home when he heard the utility vehicle in the distance, which he saw earlier. Regalski told the detec tives he saw the utility ve hicle again traveling south on North Pavilion Loop just north of his home. As the three passed his front yard, Regalski told the deputy he red his Glock, 40 caliber handgun at the vehicle. The detective reported that Regalski told him he went back into his garage and into his home and put his pistol away, put his clothes into the wash ing machine and took and shower, according to re cords. The detective said Regal ski also told him he had a security camera which re corded the shooting, but that he erased the footage after watching it. The sheriffÂ’s ofce con scated RegalskiÂ’s gun and another from the home. Both were purchased legal ly. The three victimÂ’s in voked FloridaÂ’s MarcyÂ’s Law, which affords victims additional protections. Court and sheriffÂ’s ofce records indicate Regalski is being charged with pre meditated murder, but that is an error. Fred Hiers is a reporter at the Citrus Chronicle.

Citrus County Chronicle Friday, April 28, 2023 A11 Y ou mean you didn’t set your alarm to go off at 4:45 a.m.? A series of tests of Florida’s emergency alert system mistakenly went live in the predawn hours last Thurs-day, sending squawking loud notications and inter-rupting the sleep of millions of residents from Key West to Pensacola. But some of the reaction that followed was worse than the alert itself. Indignant posts ooded social media. The Flori-duh meme factory went into overdrive. Law enforce-ment agencies had to warn Floridians that silencing the alert tone on their iPhones could prevent them from knowing about future disas-ters. One lawmaker urged restrictions on testing hours, calling it the “Stop WAKE Act.” Then, Gov. Ron DeSantis, whose hostility to corpo-rate America is part of his political tough-guy brand, demanded “swift account-ability” for the mistaken messaging. Within hours, Florida announced it was ring Everbridge, a Mas-sachusetts software vendor under contract to the state Division of Emergency Management since 2017. It is possible that the ring could be a bigger mistake than the alert. Everbridge is also contracted with FDLE, the statewide law enforce-ment agency, to issue Am-ber, Blue, Purple and Silver public safety alerts. We won’t minimize the im pact of this rude awakening on sleep-deprived Floridians juggling jobs, caring for elders and kids (too many of them sleep-deprived as well) and other priorities. For them, 24 hours is barely enough to clear one day’s expectations. The vendor botched a test of the Amber alert system, which enlists motorists to recover children suspect-ed as kidnapping victims. Thursday’s alerts were meant for Florida TV stations, and obviously scheduled in a time of low viewership. Everbridge, whose software is in use in 25 foreign countries and has worked for Florida since 2017, provides coding and instructions to transmit emergency alerts, and its error sent the notication to phones instead. Everbridge, which ironically also specializes in crisis communications, apologized Monday. “Essentially, human errors caused the alert to go out, in violation of a number of routine precautionary steps that should have been followed prior to the release of any emergency notica-tion,” CEO David Wagner said. “As a result, we have re-examined our proce-dures and are adding further safeguards to our platform so customers can only send you messages when neces-sary.” It was encouraging to see the company accept full responsibility. So what does ring the vendor accomplish? The state needs to hire a new company. That could mean higher costs; more testing means guring out what needs to change, on both ends, to make sure a new contractor is up to speed. Even if the state keeps Ev-erbridge on board during a 90-day transition or longer, once that time expires, years of experience in real emergencies will walk out the door. There. Feel safer?An embarrassing technical mistake is not the end of the world, and rarely does it justify ring an experienced vendor. A ne, and a nasty letter, would have been just as effective. The state has a responsibility to be as sure as possible that when a child goes missing, the alert goes out before a bad guy can get away or an innocent child’s life is shattered. Or that when a region is ravaged by catastrophic ooding, as happened in Fort Lauderdale, that state and local leaders work together to direct people to safety, quickly and safely. Or that when a giant storm is whirling toward a vulner-able coastline and makes a last-minute twitch in direc-tion, emergency ofcials can effectively alert people. As Hurricane Ian tragically showed, it didn’t happen as it should have. Too many residents didn’t heed 11th-hour evacuation notices and lives were lost. Florida’s unscheduled wakeup call underscores the real message: This system is repeatedly tested to swing into swift action when responding to the worst emergencies Florida faces. Political temper tantrums and social media whining doesn’t help, especially if it undermines public con-dence. We hope that doesn’t happen due to this impetu-ous decision. We’re much more alarmed by that than we were by the brief racket on our cell phones. – South Florida Sun Sentinel F or most consumers, booking an airline ticket is a matter of clicking or scrolling through on-line options to nd the best deal. Behind the curtain, however, is an intricate distri-bution system – one that manages the ow of airline ticket transactions not only through apps and websites but also across a constellation of sellers, intermedi-aries and con-duits. This highly choreographed ticketing system is essential in coordinating the millions of airline seats booked daily. Consumers know that when the system fails – as we recently saw with Ticketmaster – it can set off chaos. While not all air travelers are Taylor Swift fans, they have learned why it is critical that to-day’s digital networks be modern and durable. It is puzzling why some are stomping their feet and standing in the way of modern-izing technology that creates the most convenient and best experience for air travelers. American Airlines is now shifting to New Distribution Capability (NDC), a modern aggregator for purchasing tickets that replaces antiquated tech-nology in place since the 1980s. While dozens of carriers have already moved to this infrastruc-ture abroad, and more intend to follow, American’s moves have fueled some consternation among a handful of travel agen-cies that have not adequately prepared for the switch from the legacy systems. Despite notice of the change dating back to 2017 and even offers from the airline to cover the costs of the move, these organizations are unfor-tunately seeking to derail the modernization altogether. The American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA) is accusing American of forcing NDC on their industry at “breakneck” speed, even though American released its NDC transition plan more than ve years ago. ASTA’s efforts to push American Airlines to delay its full implementation of NDC include writing letters to the Department of Transpor-tation and Department of Justice seeking intervention, but with NDC already in operation, and given the years of notice, their claim that the move is premature doesn’t hold water. Moreover, ASTA does not even disagree with the many benets of NDC; it wants to kick the can down the runway because, for all its aws, the current system has been good for its bottom line. Ultimately the people most hurt by ASTA’s stance are passengers, who will lose out on numerous benets, including personalized offers and deals, additional ac-commodations, real-time ticket pricing and ight information, and countless other convenienc-es. But in the age of Spotify, ASTA wants to hand consumers Walkman padded headphones. NDC is a sorely needed upgrade to the current ticketing system, which lacks transparen-cy and consistency for passen-gers who book directly through airlines or via third parties, and customers are already reaping the benets of a more tailored and transparent experience. Through NDC, airlines can see more than a faceless consumer, enabling them to personalize a ier’s experience and offer them the specic products and services that suit their prefer-ences. For example, ensuring that the fares and options reect their frequent-ier status or the ability to select premium seats when reserving through inter-mediaries. Some NDC features, like automated notications for unplanned scheduling changes, feel so commonsense that one could wonder why they aren’t universal. Meanwhile, name brands are already using NDC and have been for years. In 2022, one of every three bookings through a travel agency on American Air lines ights was via NDC. Un-surprisingly, other airlines in the United States are also moving in this direction to keep pace. While ASTA has tried to cast opposition to change as a matter of helping consumers, it is only holding consumers back from a far superior, convenient and modern ying experience. Mean-while, it clings to an outdated system that serves to benet it. In implementing a new book ing system, American is bearing most of the risk, as fewer tickets sold come out of their pocket. The time for a more modern system is long overdue, and with all of their excuses having run dry, it is time for ASTA and all stakeholders to get on board NDC and buckle in for a smoother ight.

O Why is DeSantis fighting Disney? I knew DeSantis was a spiteful politician, but I didn’t realize how revengeful and ruthless he could be. Like an elephant, DeSantis stumped over Disney’s First Amendment rights and orchestrated the state’s takeover of Disney’s Reedy Creek. He did this in spiteful revenge because Disney disagreed with the gov ernor over gay rights. But the Mouse struck back, and DeSantis now has to explain how Disney put one over him. He lost, and he can’t explain how it happened. So, like the losing bully he is, he is lash ing out. First, he wants the old Reedy Creek board investigated. Second, he is threatening tolls on the road to the Magic King dom. Third, he wants to add hotel taxes. Finally, he wants to hurt the 75,000 Florida Disney employees in Florida. Our gov ernor is unhinged. Instead of spending millions of dollars on beating the Mouse, he could use that money to help Florida. How about spending these millions on healthcare, gun violence, taxa tion, housing, mothers and their children, and the unemployed? While DeSantis touts that Flor ida is a free state and kept itself open during the recent pandemic. The Commonwealth Fund, a nonpartisan research foundation, ranked Florida 36th on its Score card on State Health System Performance. The Fund uses the latest data to assess how well the healthcare system works, and healthcare in Florida is not working well. The Fund says Floridians have poor access to quality healthcare, and the state responded poorly to COVID. DeSantis should use some of the millions he is spending on transporting immigrants nation wide to support our unemploy ment system. Florida is ranked last in unemployment benefits among the states. If you lose your job in Florida, you might lose your home. Instead of worrying about being “woke.” DeSantis should worry about our state being ranked 22nd in deaths through gun violence. Thousands of Floridians die yearly from gun violence, so what does he do? He makes buying and using a gun easier without background checks or training. We are also 33rd in the nation for homicides, so he must believe more guns on the streets will lower that number. We are worse off than “woke” states like Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, and California. I don’t understand why DeSan tis is spending millions in his battle with Disney. Thomas Mitchell Inverness What about Katie? Recently, I had a firsthand experience with a homeless per son. While sitting on the living room couch reading, there was a knock at the front door. Looking out the window, I did not recog nize the woman who said that she was homeless and pregnant – asking, could she use my phone? I asked her to go to the carport and met her outside. After she used my phone and not being able to get help, I asked if she would like some food and some thing to drink, so I gave her a couple of granola bars and a Gatorade. She explained she was six months pregnant, had been living in a tent and her boyfriend had left her. Her leg was bleeding from walking through the woods – so I gave her some tissues. I then called 911, as I did not know of anyone else that could help, as this was an emergency since she had no place to go being pregnant. While waiting for the deputy, I was able to find out more. Her name was Katie and she had been a foster child, has been in Citrus County for 4 years, a Cau casian, appeared to be about 25, was not dirty – considering how she had been living. She said that the tent had gotten water in it from the rain. I had given her $10 just to help out. The deputy arrived and carried her off – after I gave her the tele phone number of a local shelter. I hope she got help as she was so helpless. It is wonderful that we are going to have a new animal shel ter (although expensive). But what about Katie? What about the baby? Seriously.

In 1980, President Jimmy Carter accepted the resigna tion of Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance, who had opposed the failed rescue mission aimed at freeing American hostages in Iran. (Vance was succeeded by Edmund Muskie.) In 1986, the Soviet Union informed the world of the nuclear disaster at Chernobyl. In 1990, the musical “A Chorus Line” closed after 6,137 performances on Broadway. In 2001, a Russian rocket lifted off from Central Asia bearing the first space tourist, California businessman Den nis Tito, and two cosmonauts on a journey to the interna tional space station. In 2011, convicted sex offender Phillip Garrido and his wife, Nancy, pleaded guilty to kidnapping and raping a California girl, Jaycee Dugard, who was abducted in 1991 at the age of 11 and rescued 18 years later. (Phillip Garrido was sentenced to 431 years to life in prison; Nancy Garrido was sentenced to 36 years to life in prison.)

The move, unanimously approved by the countryÂ’s powerful Central Archaeological Council, will relax current rules which only allow guide dogs for disabled visitors into ar chaeological sites. The ministry did not specify when the new regula tions would be implemented. The decision is “a rst, but im portant, step toward harmonizing the framework of accessibility to monuments and archaeological sites with the standards of other European countries, where entry rules for pets already apply,” Cul ture Minister Lina Mendoni said in a ministry press release. The council approved the entry of pets provided they are kept on a leash no more than 3 feet long, or carried by their owners in a pouch or a pet carrying case. Owners will also need to show their petÂ’s health certicate and carry the nec essary accessories to pick up their animalÂ’s droppings in order to be allowed entry, the ministry said. Larger dogs will have to be muz zled. But some of the most popular archaeological sites, such as the Acropolis of Athens, Knossos in Crete, Ancient Olympia or Delphi, which tend to get very crowded, will still remain pet-free, as will ancient theaters, temples, graves and monuments with mosaic oors. Cages will be installed at the entrances of more than 110 other archaeological sites, the ministry said, so owners can park their pets during their visit.

A14 Friday, April 28, 2023 Citrus County ChronicleN & W CITRUS COUNTY CHRONICLEU.S. adult smoking rate hits new all-time low By MIKE STOBBE Associated Press NEW YORK — U.S. ciga rette smoking dropped to an other all-time low last year, with 1 in 9 adults saying they were current smokers, ac cording to government sur vey data released Thursday. Meanwhile, electronic ciga rette use rose, to about 1 in 17 adults. The preliminary ndings from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are based on survey respons es from more than 27,000 adults. Cigarette smoking is a risk factor for lung cancer, heart disease and stroke, and it’s long been considered the leading cause of preventable death. In the mid-1960s, 42 per cent of U.S. adults were smokers. The rate has been gradually dropping for de cades, due to cigarette taxes, tobacco product price hikes, smoking bans and changes in the social acceptability of lighting up in public. Last year, the percentage of adult smokers dropped to about 11 percent, down from about 12.5 percent in 2020 and 2021. The survey nd ings sometimes are revised after further analysis, and CDC is expected to release nal 2021 data soon. E-cigarette use rose to nearly 6 percent last year, from about 4.5 percent the year before, according to survey data. The rise in e-cigarette use concerns Dr. Jonathan Samet, dean of the Colora do School of Public Health. Nicotine addiction has its own health implications, in cluding risk of high blood pressure and a narrowing of the arteries, according to the American Heart Association. “I think that smoking will continue to ebb downwards, but whether the preva lence of nicotine addiction will drop, given the rise of electronic products, is not clear,” said Samet, who has been a contributing author to U.S. Surgeon General re ports on smoking and health for almost four decades. Smoking and vaping rates are almost reversed for teens. Only about 2 per cent of high school students were smoking tradition al cigarettes last year, but about 14 percent were using e-cigarettes, according to other CDC data.Trump, in New Hampshire speech, turns to Biden rematch By MICHELLE L. PRICE and JONATHAN J. COOPER Associated Press MANCHESTER, N.H. — Former President Don ald Trump turned his at tention to the general elec tion on Thursday, using his rst campaign appearance since President Joe Biden launched his own reelection bid to boast of his poll num bers and suggest that he has no need to debate his Re publican rivals. Trump’s appearance in New Hampshire marked his rst return to an early voting state since his legal troubles increased with an indictment in New York. He spoke on the same day that his former vice president, Mike Pence, testied before a federal grand jury inves tigating efforts by Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 election. Mean while, writer E. Jean Car roll testied for a second day Thursday in a civil rape case against Trump over an encounter in the 1990s, an allegation he denies. “We are a nation in serious decline, a nation that has lost its way,” Trump said at a downtown Manchester hotel, a smaller venue than his typical, large-scale ral lies. “We are led by a hope less person, but we will win in 2024 and make America great again. We can do it. It’s not too late.” In a nod toward his 2016 race, Trump said he’s retir ing the “crooked” nickname he used to dene Democratic rival Hillary Clinton and will now instead apply it to Biden. He pledged to take back the White House and “settle our unnished business” in a po tential 2024 rematch with the current president. A spokesperson for the Democratic National Com mittee, Ammar Moussa, pointed in response to persistent allegations that Trump’s family proted off his presidency. “Donald Trump may come up with a lot of nicknames for President Biden but we have a better one: winner,” Moussa said. Trump’s New Hampshire appearance came two days after Biden kicked off his own long-expected reelec tion campaign, presenting himself as he did in 2020 as a buttress against Trump and his “Make America Great Again” movement. Biden’s campaign launch video in cluded snapshots of Trump and warned of “MAGA ex tremists” working to erode freedoms including voting rights and abortion rights. Trump is considered a front-runner for the GOP nomination, though more Republicans are expected to jump into the race soon, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Trump’s cam paign this week started air ing its rst television ad, which assails DeSantis. In the ad, Trump takes credit for DeSantis’ political rise and shows the governor yoking himself to the for mer president, including clips from a 2018 guberna torial campaign ad in which he uses some of Trump’s catchphrases like “Build the wall” and “You’re red.” Trump, who has mused about skipping primary de bates, pointed Thursday to his sizable polling lead and questioned why he should bother participating in the debates. “Why would you do that?” he asked the crowd. Two weeks ago, Trump appeared with several oth er announced and potential presidential candidates at the National Rie Associ ation convention in India napolis. Last weekend, he spoke by video to a gather ing of evangelicals in Iowa that marked the unofcial start of the state’s 2024 cau cus campaign. “It doesn’t feel good to have Republicans that are so conservative and great ghting each other,” said Kathy Holmes, a 69-year-old retired teacher from Chichester who attend ed Trump’s event Thurs day. Holmes, who said she plans to vote for Trump in the state’s leadoff primary, wore homemade buttons of Trump’s face with fuzzy blond hair glued onto it. Holmes said she’d like to see DeSantis wait and run for president in 2028 in stead. Maureen Anderson, a 43-year-old from the Bos ton area who said she fol lows the QAnon conspira cy theory, said Thursday’s event was the rst time she would be seeing Trump in person. The longtime Trump supporter wore a red “MAGA” hat and said she would be supporting Trump in the primary, regardless of his legal troubles. “I feel like they’ve got nothing on him, and they just keep trying to nd some other avenue to get him,” she said of the legal cases. “But they’re not gonna get him.” Charles Krupa / AP Former President Donald Trump arrives to speak at a campaign event Thursday in Manchester, N.H.Pence testifies before federal election probe grand jury, AP source says By ERIC TUCKER Associated Press WASHINGTON — For mer Vice President Mike Pence testied Thursday before a federal grand jury investigating efforts by then-President Don ald Trump and his allies to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, according to a person famil iar with the matter. Pence’s appearance before a grand jury in Washington scrutinizing the president he once loyally served is a milestone in the Justice Department’s investigation and likely gives prosecutors a key rst-person account about certain conversations and events in the weeks preceding the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. It also carries signicant political implica tions, coming as Pence hints at entering the 2024 presi dential race and a potential run against Trump, the Re publican front-runner. The testimony, conrmed by a person familiar with the matter who insisted on anonymity to discuss a se cret grand jury matter, came hours after a federal appeals court in a sealed order re jected a bid by Trump’s lawyers to block Pence’s appearance. Pence was subpoenaed to testify earlier this year, but Trump’s lawyers objected, citing executive privilege concerns. A judge in March refused to block Pence’s appearance, though he did side with the former vice president’s constitutional claims that he could not be forced to answer questions about anything related to his role as presiding over the Senate’s certication of votes on Jan. 6. “We’ll obey the law, we’ll tell the truth,” Pence said in an interview with CBS News’ “Face the Nation” that aired Sunday. “And the story that I’ve been telling the American people all across the country, the sto ry that I wrote in the pages of my memoir, that’ll be the story I tell in that setting.” It was not immediately clear what Pence may have told the grand jury, but he is the most high-prole Trump administration ofcial to be summoned before the panel. Inside the federal building where the grand jury has been meeting, just blocks from the U.S. Capitol, se curity was high because of Trump’s appearance with an unusual amount of activity from U.S. Marshals. Pence has spoken exten sively about Trump’s pres sure campaign urging him to reject Democrat Joe Biden’s presidential election vic tory in the days leading up to Jan. 6, including in his book, “So Help Me God.” Pence, as vice president, had a ceremonial role over seeing Congress’ counting of the Electoral College vote but did not have the power to affect the results, despite Trump’s contention otherwise. Pence, a former Indiana governor and congressman, has said that Trump endan gered his family and ev eryone else who was at the Capitol that day and histo ry will hold him “account able.” “For four years, we had a close working relationship. It did not end well,” Pence wrote, summing up their time in the White House. Alex Brandon / AP Former Vice President Mike Pence speaks at the Federalist Society Executive Branch Review conference, Tuesday in Washington. IN BRIEF Trump lawyer questions E. Jean Carroll at rape lawsuit trial NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump’s lawyer sought Thursday to pick apart a decades-old rape claim against the former president, questioning why accuser E. Jean Carroll did not scream or seek help when Trump allegedly at tacked her in a department store. But Carroll, a writer and former advice columnist, rebuffed the suggestion that rape victims are sup posed to act a certain way, saying such thinking deters women from coming for ward. “I’m telling you, he raped me, whether I screamed or not,” Carroll said, her voice rising and breaking, at the federal civil trial in New York. Carroll, who is suing Trump over the alleged assault, claims he raped her in a dressing room at the posh Manhattan store in 1996. She did not go to police and said she only told two close friends at the time.Guardsman in leak case wanted to kill a ‘ton of people,’ prosecutors say WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) — The Massachu setts Air National guards man accused of leaking highly classied military documents kept an arsenal of guns and said on social media that he would like to kill a “ton of people,” prosecutors said in arguing Thursday that 21-year-old Jack Teixeira should re main in jail for his trial. But the judge at Teixei ra’s detention hearing put off an immediate decision whether he should be kept in custody until his trial or released to home con nement or under other conditions. Teixeira was led away from the court in handcuffs, black rosa ry beads around his neck, pending that ruling. The court lings raise new questions about why Teixeira had such a high se curity clearance and access to some of the nation’s most classied secrets. They said he may still have material that hasn’t been released, which could be of “tremen dous value to hostile nation states that could offer him safe harbor and attempt to facilitate his escape from the United States.” In Teixeira’s detention hearing, Magistrate Judge David Hennessy expressed skepticism of defense ar guments that the govern ment hasn’t shown Teix eira ever intended leaked information to be widely disseminated. “Somebody under the age of 30 has no idea that when they put something on the internet that it could end up anywhere in this world?” the judge asked. “Seriously?”China welcomes Ya Ya the panda home after 20 years in Memphis TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Ya Ya the giant panda land ed Thursday in Shanghai after departing from the Memphis Zoo, where she spent the past 20 years on loan. The popular panda’s trip was closely followed on line. People shared screen shots tracking Ya Ya’s ight path into Shanghai. “Finally back at home!” cheered one user in re sponse to the news. Others asked for a live broadcast of the arrival, which was reported by Chinese state media and claimed four of the top 10 trending topics on the social media plat form Weibo. The zoo held a farewell party for Ya Ya earlier in April and said it would miss the panda. Ya Ya was born Aug. 3, 2000, in Beijing. She lived at the Memphis Zoo along with Le Le, a male pan da who was born July 18, 1998. Le Le died in Feb ruary. The life expectancy of a giant panda in the wild is about 15 years, but in cap tivity they have lived to be as old as 38. San Francisco to repeal boycott of anti-LGBTQ+ states SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — San Francisco is repeal ing a ban on city-funded travel to 30 states that it says restrict abortion, vot ing and LGBTQ+ rights af ter determining the boycott is doing more harm than good. The Board of Supervisors voted 7-4 on Tuesday to re peal a section of the city’s administrative code that prohibits staff from visit ing and city departments from contracting with companies headquartered in the states, which include Texas, Florida and Ohio. California, meanwhile, is considering the repeal of a similar law.‘Little hero’: Boy stops Michigan school bus with ill driver WARREN, Mich. (AP) — A boy grabbed the steer ing wheel on a school bus and hit the brakes, bringing the vehicle to a safe stop on a busy Detroit-area road after the driver had passed out, authorities said. “Someone call 911. Now!” seventh-grader Dil lon Reeves shouted to doz ens of other middle-school kids on the bus Wednesday. Dillon was hailed as a hero: He stopped the bus as it was veering toward oncoming trafc. “In my 35-plus years of education, this was an ex traordinary act of courage and maturity on his part,” said Robert Livernois, su perintendent of Warren Consolidated Schools. The incident was record ed on a video camera just above the driver. The video shows the driver fanning herself with a baseball cap and informing the trans portation ofce that she needs to pull over. Seconds later, Dillon jumped into action, hitting the brake pedal and clutch ing the steering wheel. “I don’t know that it could have gone any bet ter,” Livernois said, noting that adults helped kids out the back door. “When you have an anchor like Dillon taking care of business on the bus, it really and truly was a good day for us.”

S CITRUS COUNTY CHRONICLE Section B FRIDAY, APRIL 28 , 2023 TORONTO (AP) — Mi chael Eyssimont had a goal and an assist as the Tampa Bay Lightning defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-2 on Thursday night to force Game 6 in their rst-round playoff series. Anthony Cirelli also had a goal and an assist, Nicholas Paul scored and Alex Kil lorn got an empty net goal for Tampa. Andrei Vasilevs kiy made 28 saves. Morgan Rielly and Auston Matthews scored for Toron to, which got 34 stops from Ilya Samsonov. John Tava res had two assists. The Leafs still lead the best-of-seven series 3-2. Game 6 will be Saturday in Tampa. Game 7, if nec essary, would be Monday back at Scotiabank Arena. Toronto, which has failed to advance in the post-sea son since 2004 and was eliminated by the Lightning in seven games in the rst round last year, is now 0-10 since 2018 with a chance to eliminate a post-season op ponent. Tied at 1 after a spirited rst period, the Lightning pushed ahead at 4:23 of the second when Eyssimont beat Samsonov through the pads from a tough angle for his rst goal of the series. The period ended in con troversy when Pat Maroon crushed Toronto defense man Mark Giordano from behind into the boards. The initial play went uncalled, but the bruising Tam pa winger was assessed a roughing penalty for the en suing scrum. Giordano rejoined his teammates on the bench shortly after the restart af ter getting looked at by the trainer. Paul made it 3-1 at 11:53 of the third with his rst af ter the Leafs goaltender got bumped by teammate David Kampf. The home side pulled within one with 3:34 left in regulation when Matthews banged home a loose puck for his fourth, and third in the last two games, with Samsonov on the bench for an extra attacker.

By MATT PFIFFNER Sports editor MINNEOLA — A trio of Le canto school records were broken Thursday afternoon at the District 3A-5 Track and Field Meet at Lake Minneola High School. Two of those records were decades old, while the other was a Panther best ing her own mark. Lecanto and Citrus were both in action, with the top four individu als in each event moving on to the Region 3A-2 Meet held May 4 at Davenport High School. Lecanto has several athletes mov ing on, while it was a tougher day for the Hurricanes, with just one athlete advancing.Record breakersLecantoÂ’s Burke Malmberg bested the long-standing shot put school record of 51-feet 2-inches, set in 1998 by Frank Chelkonas. Malmberg won the district title with a heave of 51-2 1 / 4 , to top the previous mark by the slimmest of margins. Malmberg moves on to regionals in the discus as well, with a third-place toss of 108-10. Mallori Grey bettered her own school-record in her rst year of throwing the javelin with a dis trict-winning toss of 107-5. Grey also placed third in the high jump (4-9 3 / 4 ), long jump (15-4 3 / 4 ) and triple jump (32-5 1 / 4 ) to ad vance to regionals in all four eld events. “I wasnÂ’t supposed to go for long jump. I was ranked eighth coming in and I PRÂ’d and got through. I was pretty happy with that,” Grey said. “I didnÂ’t do as well in triple as I normally would, but still mov ing on so I get another chance to do better next time. And in high jump, I was close to my PR, so hopefully at regionals I can get that.” Grey said she feels there are two events she has the best shot at qual ifying for state in at next weekÂ’s regional. “Denitely jav, just because not as many girls do javelin, so the odds are just better in general. And thatÂ’s the highest ranking I had at Record-breaking day Three Panthers set school marks at track and field districts MATT PFIFFNER / Sports editor Donovan Foster of Lecanto takes off from the line during the triple jump competition Thursday at the District 3A-5 Track and Field Meet at Lake Minneola High School.

By ROB MAADDI AP Pro Football Writer KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Quarterbacks dominated the rst part of the NFL draft. Bryce Young, C.J. Stroud and Anthony Richardson were among the top four picks Thursday night, an expected result in a league where teams know nding a franchise QB is the quick est path to success. The Carolina Panthers selected Young, the slen der and dynamic Alabama quarterback, with the No. 1 pick, seven weeks after making a blockbuster trade with Chicago to move up to get their choice. The Panthers chose the 2021 Heisman Trophy winner over Ohio StateÂ’s Stroud, FloridaÂ’s Richard son and KentuckyÂ’s Will Levis. New coach Frank Reich said earlier in the week that the organization reached a consensus Mon day after several weeks of deliberation. “I learned so much in my short time there,” Young said of his visit with the Panthers. “It is an amazing staff. You can tell there is an energy, focus, drive and will to win and I want to do what I can to earn the right to reach those team goals.” Stroud didnÂ’t have to wait long. He went No. 2 to the Houston Texans, who then made a blockbuster deal with Arizona to acquire the No. 3 pick and selected Al abama edge rusher Will An derson Jr. “I canÂ’t wait to play with Will,” Stroud said. “I hope NFL draft dominated early by QBs, including top pick By MATT CARLSON Associated Press CHICAGO — Isaac Paredes had a career-high ve RBIs, and the Tam pa Bay Rays handed the Chicago White Sox their eighth straight loss with a 14-5 victory on Thursday night.

Detroit, which fell to 1-12 against AL East teams, left 15 runners on base. Nick Maton drew a bas es-loaded walk to make it 4-2 in the sixth, but the Orioles hit for the cycle against Chasen Shreve (1-2) in the five-run sev enth. Bryan Baker (2-0) got the win with 1 1/2 scoreless innings of relief. Felix Bautista pitched the ninth for his sixth save. Marlins 5, Braves 4 ATLANTA – Garrett Cooper came through with a two-out, two-run double that capped a stunning five-run ninth inning by Miami, which avoided a sweep with a win over Atlanta. Kyle Wright and four relievers held Miami scoreless until the ninth, but the Marlins overcame a 4-0 deficit against Braves closer A.J. Minter (1-3). Yuli Gurriel, AvisaÃl GarcÃa and Jazz Chisholm had run-scoring sin gles to knock out Minter, who retired only two of the seven hitters he faced. A.J. Puk (2-0) claimed the win. Dylan Floro pitched a per fect ninth for his first save. The Braves scored all of their four runs in the fifth inning despite getting only two balls out of the infield. A pair of walks by Matt Barnes (1-1), a bunt single from Vaughn Grissom and a defensive blunder by Miami shortstop Garrett Hamp son led to a big inning of small ball that broke a scoreless duel. Rays 14, White Sox 5 CHICAGO – Isaac Paredes had a career-high five RBIs, and Tampa Bay handed Chicago its eighth straight loss. Brandon Lowe homered and drove in three runs for Tampa Bay in the opener of a four-game series. Lowe, Yandy DÃaz, Luke Raley and Josh Lowe each had three hits as the AL East leaders bounced back nicely after they were shut out in back-to-back home games by Houston. Shane McClanahan (5-0) pitched five innings of two-run ball in the win. He struck out five and walked two. White Sox ace Dylan Cease (2-1) was tagged for seven runs, six earned, and nine hits in four-plus innings. Jake Burger hom ered for Chicago and drove in two runs. Twins 7, Royals 1 MINNEAPOLIS – Byron Bux ton and Carlos Correa homered back-to-back for Minnesota in a rout of Kansas City. Buxton and Correa teed off on Royals veteran right-hander Zack Greinke (0-4) in the fourth inning. BuxtonÂ’s oppo site-field shot was a three-run blast over the high wall in right-center field to make it 6-1. Correa followed that up with a solo shot. Twins starter Tyler Mahle allowed one run – a solo homer by Vinnie Pasquantino in the top of the fourth – but exited after four innings and 66 pitches with right posterior elbow sore ness. Reliever Brock Stewart (1-0) made his Twins debut when he pitched two scoreless innings and struck out three batters. Greinke allowed seven runs on eight hits over 3 2/3 innings. Mark J.

The Panthers held a slim 7-6 halftime lead but out scored the Warriors 13-0 in the third quarter to pull away. Quarterback Peyton Di son shared the wealth all night with several players having at least one recep tion. Kayla Negron led the way with six catches and a touchdown. Cassidy King and Elisha Bluford had three catches each, Mick ayla Lucena had a touch down catch and Mya Con nor and Julia Parker each had one reception. Connor led the defense with six ag pulls, while Negron had four ag pulls and a pass break up. Devin Pulham added four ag pulls, an inter ception and pass breakup, Lucena had an intercep tion and two passes bro ken up, Gabi Sanchez also had an interception, while Chloe Tsacrios and Ol ivia Rojas recorded ag pulls. The Warriors, seeded third in the region, ended the season 13-2. The sixth-seeded Panthers (11-3) travel to Brandenton on May 3 for a regional seminal showdown with No. 2 seed Braden River (13-2).Panthers reach semifinals districts. And probably triple jump as well,” she said. Speaking of the triple jump, Donovan Foster was the third Panther on the day to set a new standard at Le canto. His winning leap of 44-9 1 / 2 in the triple jump bested the previous top mark, set 35 years ago in 1988 by Brad Breedlove. Foster also advanced to regionals in the 200-meter dash, with a third-place clocking of 23.14.Leaping to goldAlso winning a district title for the Panthers was Morgan Resch with an effort of 12-6 in the pole vault. The Panther and Kris Kupinski of Tavares tied with jumps of 12 feet af ter both missed their three attempts at 12-6, so they went to a jump-off for the title. Resch made his nal attempt at 12-6 in the jump-off to take the gold. “It was denitely a differ ent day. I really like this pit here. And the wind behind us gave us a little more speed and power than usu al,” Resch said. “I didn’t get as high as I wanted to but denitely had a good day. Enjoyed the competi tion.” Resch qualied for the state meet last season in his rst year doing the pole vault and hopes to make it again next week at region als. “I want to go again, but it also adds a lot of pressure. I don’t want to let anyone down,” he said. “But I’ve been improving and already got higher than my PR last year. Hopefully keep it up and make states again. “Just trying to stay healthy, not going too hard, but still getting my reps and do everything I need to.” Resch’s best jump is 13-6 but feels he can make 14-0 and even 14-6. “It’s very possible,” he said. “Every jump is go ing to feel a little different. You just have to hope you get that one jump that’s just right. When you hit that good jump, you can feel it and you’ll get over.” Others from Lecanto moving on to regionals af ter top-four nishes Thurs day are Nathan Vonderhaar, second in the high jump with a leap of 6-1 1 / 2 ; Mal lory Mushlit, third in the pole vault with an effort of 6-6 3 / 4 and fourth in the 100 hurdles in a time of 17.19; Alyssa Camunas, fourth in the pole vault in 63 / 4 ; Bra den Phillips, fourth in the pole vault with a height of 11-0; Darius Gainer, sec ond in the long jump with a leap of 21-4 and third in the triple jump in 43-10; Lauren Brady, fourth in the discus with a toss of 93-1; Logan Feuston, third in the javelin with a toss of 131-11; the boys’ 4x800 relay team of James Gray, Gerald Cunningham, Tez Joseph and Sho DeGroot, fourth with a time of 8:46.13; and the boys’ 4x400 team of Travis LaBelle, Gain er, Joseph and Foster with a third-place clocking of 3:31.02. Advancing for Citrus is Luke Martone, who took third in the 800-meter run with a time of 2:01.26. In the boys’ meet, Lecan to nished fourth with 96 points and Citrus was sixth with 31. The Lecanto girls placed sixth with 57 points, while Citrus was eighth with 3. PANTHERSFrom page B1 he doesn’t hit me too hard in practice.” Richardson then went at No. 4 to the Indianapo lis Colts, who will begin a sixth straight season with a different starting QB. Heading into the draft, there was no consensus be yond the No. 1 pick. A dual-threat playmak er with a strong arm and an elite combination of instincts and intelligence, Young also possesses the intangibles and characteris tics coaches desire, includ ing leadership ability and a strong work ethic. But the biggest question about Young is his size. He measured at 5-foot-10 1 / 8 and weighed 204 pounds at the combine. Though he dominated the SEC, some scouts and coaches fear Young may not be able to physically withstand all the hits in the NFL. The Panthers couldn’t pass up his superior skills. Kyler Murray, the No. 1 overall pick in 2019, is the only other QB since 2003 to be selected in the rst round after weighing in at 207 pounds or less at the combine. “Those that doubt me are entitled to their opinion,” Young said. “I think that is the beauty of sports. We all come together and have ar guments on who you think is good or not. I choose to focus on what I can control.” The Panthers have sought an answer at quarterback since moving on from Cam Newton, who was the No. 1 overall pick in 2011 and the NFL MVP in 2015 when he led the Panthers to a 15-1 record and a Super Bowl appearance. Young had a spectacu lar career at Alabama and the Panthers are hoping he can deliver the franchise’s rst Lombardi Trophy. He played in a pro-style of fense under offensive co ordinator Bill O’Brien, the former Texans head coach who has returned to the NFL to run New England’s offense. Young threw for 4,872 yards with 47 touchdowns and seven interceptions in his rst season starting as a sophomore in 2021. Last season, he had 3,328 yards passing with 32 TDs and ve picks while playing with a new supporting cast. Stroud’s stock had seem ingly dropped after reports that he scored poorly in the S2 Cognition test surfaced recently. He told the AP earlier in the day he didn’t know where he would end up going, even saying it could be top 20. Instead, Stroud, a nalist for the Heisman Trophy the past two seasons, goes to Houston to help the re building Texans move past Deshaun Watson. Richardson might have the most upside of all the QBs in this draft class but he has the least experience. Colts owner Jim Irsay is fond of Philadelphia Ea gles QB Jalen Hurts and Richardson has similar playmaking ability. He’ll play for Shane Steichen, who was the offensive coordinator in Philadelphia when Hurts developed into an MVP runner-up. “I know what he did with Hurts but I am excited to get to work with him,” Richardson said. “He has told me we are going to do great thing so I am looking forward to it.” Defense-needy Seattle took Illinois cornerback Devon Witherspoon at No. 5 and the Cardinals moved up to No. 6 to select Ohio State offensive lineman Paris Johnson. Las Vegas then chose Texas Tech edge Tyree Wilson and Atlanta made Bijan Robinson the rst running back taken in the top 10 since Saquon Barkley went No. 2 to the Giants in 2018. NFC champion Philadel phia moved up one spot to take troubled Georgia de fensive tackle Jalen Carter at No. 9 and Chicago went with Tennessee offensive lineman Darnell Wright with the 10th pick. At No. 11, the Titans passed on Levis for North western offensive lineman Peter Skoronski. Levis and Tennessee’s Hendon Hook er had a chance to make it ve QBs in the rst round a year after Kenny Pickett (No. 20) was the only sig nal-caller to go in the rst round. The Tampa Bay Bucca neers also passed on Levis at No. 19, taking Pitt defen sive tackle Calijah Kancey. Two months after the hometown Kansas City Chiefs celebrated anoth er Super Bowl title with a downtown parade, a sea of red-clad fans lined up in the streets where the century-old Union Station served as the backdrop for the draft. Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes and All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce walked on stage with the Vince Lom bardi Trophy and riled up the crowd before turning it over to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. Mahomes implored fans to scream louder – they did. Kelce asked if they want ed to trade up for the No. 1 pick. But the Chiefs don’t need a QB. Carolina, Houston and Indianapolis did. DRAFTFrom page B1 – the longest-serving Leaf – scored his third of the series from the slot after Tavares beat three Lightning players to the puck to ignite the tow el-waving crowd inside a frothing Scotiabank Arena. Coming off Stanley Cup triumphs in 2020 and 2021 before falling in last year’s nal to the Colora do Avalanche, and looking to keep their season alive, the Lightning responded just 26 seconds later when Cirelli scored his third off a scramble.Eyssimont returnsThe Lightning forward suited up for the rst time since getting knocked out of Game 1 on a hard hit by Leafs defenseman Jake McCabe. Eyssimont’s in clusion meant Tanner Jean not watched from the press box. ——— Devils 3, Rangers 0 NEWARK, N.J. — Erik Haula had two goals and an assist, Akira Schmid stopped 23 shots, and the New Jersey Devils beat the New York Rangers 4-0 Thursday night to take a 3-2 lead in their first-round series. Dawson Mercer had a goal and an assist, and Ondrej Palat also scored to help New Jersey move one win away from advancing with their third straight win after losing the first two games at home. It was the first win by a home team in the series. Igor Shesterkin finished with 39 saves for the Rangers, who have been outscored 9-2 over the last three games after a pair of 5-1 wins to open the series. Game 6 is Saturday night at Madison Square Garden. BOLTSFrom page B1 By PAUL NEWBERRY Associated Press ATLANTA — Al Hor ford hit a huge 3-pointer against his former team and the Boston Celtics broke open a tight game in the closing minutes to nish off the Atlanta Hawks 128-120 on Thursday night for a 4-2 victory in the open ing-round playoff series. The second-seeded Celt ics advance to face the third-seeded Philadelphia 76ers, who’ve been resting since completing their fourgame sweep of Brooklyn last Saturday. Game 1 is Monday night in Boston. Boston ripped off an 11-0 run that included three straight 3-pointers, with Horford’s big shot sand wiched around 3s from Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. Tatum capped the spurt with a dunk, which gave the Celtics a 121-113 lead with 2:07 remaining. Brown led the Celtics with 32 points, while Tatum had 30. Horford, who played in Atlanta from 2007-16, chipped in with 10 points and 12 rebounds. After carrying the Hawks to an improbable victory in Game 5 at Boston, Atlan ta’s Trae Young ran out of steam in the second half. He missed 12 of 13 shots over the nal two quarters. Young had 30 points and 10 assists, but he nished just 9 of 28 from the eld. Marcus Smart also came up big for Boston, scoring 22 points and brilliantly running the Boston offense down the stretch.Celtics pull away, beat Hawks Sent OF Ramon Laureano to Las Vegas (PCL) on a rehab assignment.

B4 Friday, April 28, 2023 Citrus County Chronicle By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS VALLARTA, Mexico — Austin Smotherman al ready has his name on the Mexico Open trophy. He nished his round Thursday as though heÂ’d love to see it on there again, closing with four straight birdies for an 8-under 63 and a one-shot lead over Erik van Rooyen and Tano Goya. Masters champion Jon Rahm, who won the Mex ico Open at Vidanta for his only PGA Tour title a year ago, had ve birdies on his last 11 holes to overcome a sluggish start for a 67. Smotherman is winless on the PGA Tour. He won the Mexico Open in 2018 on a different golf course – it was held in Tijuana that year – and when it was part of the PGA Tour Latino america schedule. Even so, the Mexico Open dates to 1944. His name is on the trophy with Ben Crenshaw, Billy Casper, Lee Trevino, Bobby Locke and Roberto De Vicenzo. “I mean, still get a little bit of some goosebumps thinking about it,” Smo therman said. “Just the re ception, winning an event like that, the Mexico Open, which has such a deep his tory. There are names on that trophy that are in the Hall of Fame. “A national open any where is very special.” Smotherman played bo gey-free at Vidanta Vallar ta. He missed only three greens on a gorgeous morn ing. The last time was on his nal hole, the par-3 ninth, and he chipped in for his eighth birdie of the round. Van Rooyen also had a big nish, playing his nal ve holes in 4 under. That included an eagle on the par-4 15th when he holed out from 141 yards. He also had a pair of birdies on the pars 5 on the back nine. His best moment might have been a par on the 10th. Standing over the shot with a 4-iron, the South African backed off and said, “Bees! Bees! Bees!” Before long, Chez Reavie and Francesco Molinari and the caddies hit the turf to avoid a swarm of bees. “I just told my caddie, ‘Bees, bees, bees.Â’ And he looks at me like IÂ’m cra zy,” van Rooyen said. “So I dropped down, then he sees them, he dropped down. Frankie and Chez, they look at me like IÂ’m nuts and then 30 seconds later the bees just went right at them. ItÂ’s funny, but certainly donÂ’t want to get stung by those bad boys.” Goya played bogey-free and nished with a birdie from left of the green on the par-5 18th. Tony Finau was among ve players at 65, and one of them felt just as good as Smotherman. Raul Pere da of Mexico, who played college golf at Jacksonville University, made his PGA Tour debut as a sponsor exemption in his national Open. Pereda missed a 4-foot birdie putt on the par-5 18th but had no complaints about his rst time playing on the PGA Tour. His coach at Jacksonville, Mike Blackburn, sent him a text ahead of his rst round to enjoy every shot as it comes. He followed the plan perfectly. “IÂ’m going to have a cold beer after this round today with my parents and just keep it very simple,” Pereda said. “I donÂ’t think I need to get ahead of myself. ItÂ’s just like any other sanc tioned tour event for me. ItÂ’s 18 holes a day, and just 18 chances for birdie, and just commit to every shot.”Rozner shoots 63, early leader at Korea ChampionshipINCHEON, South Ko rea — Antoine Rozner shot 9-under 63 and led the Ko rea Championship by four strokes after the rst round of the European tour event. The bogey-free round tied the lowest in the French manÂ’s professional career and contained nine birdies at Jack Nicklaus Golf Club – including six in his rst nine holes. “It was a pure day of golf,” Rozner said, “one of those days when you wish you could play like this all the time.” RoznerÂ’s three European tour wins have come since 2020. One was this season – at the Mauritius Open in December – and he has three top-10 nishes in 2023. Park Sang-hyun of South Korea and Andy Sullivan of England were tied for second place after rounds of 67.Johansson leads after 1st day of JM Eagle LA ChampionshipLOS ANGELES — Linnea Johansson shot a 7-under 64 to take a one-shot lead af ter the rst round of the JM Eagle LA Championship at Wilshire Country Club. Johansson had a bo gey-free round, one of just ve in the rst round. “Obviously a great day, great round,” said Johans son, who had a morning tee time. “Played fearless golf today and really went after a lot of pins and managed to hit them very close and roll in the putts. I actual ly managed to roll in the longer ones more than the shorter ones. It was just a great day.” By MARK LONG AP Pro Football Writer JACKSONVILLE — A person familiar with the situation says Jacksonville Jaguars left tackle Cam Robinson is facing a mul tigame suspension for vi olating the NFLÂ’s policy on performance-enhancing drugs. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condi tion of anonymity Thurs day because the potential suspension is pending the result of a B sample. According to league rules, Robinson could be suspended without pay for up to six games to start the season. Sports Illustrated was the rst to report Rob insonÂ’s pending punish ment. The possibility of being without Robinson for any length of time could af fect the way Jacksonville approaches the NFL draft beginning Thursday night. The Jaguars have the 24th overall pick, and offensive tackle already was consid ered one of their top needs along with pass rusher, cor nerback and tight end. Jacksonville lost right tackle Jawaan Taylor to Kansas City in free agen cy, leaving the team with Robinson and third-year pro Walker Little as start ers. The Jags signed oft-in jured veteran Josh Wells to a one-year deal earlier this month. Robinson tore the me niscus in his right knee in mid-December and missed the nal ve games of the season, including two in the playoffs. Little, a second-round pick in 2021, lled in and played well.Jaguars LT Robinson facing suspension for PEDsSmotherman posts 63 for one-shot lead in Mexico Moises Castillo / AP Jon Rahm, of Spain, reacts after making a birdie on the 14th hole during the Mexico Open golf tournamentÂ’s first round on Thursday in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

Since moving to the Crystal River area in 2018, she has self-pub-lished eight in a series of Trailer Park Travails “cozy” mysteries and the ninth, “Fatal Philandering,” should be available imminently. Other cozies are underway. Scholl also has self-published three “brozies,” a mystery novel which is like a cozy, only with a male protagonist. A cozy mystery is short and doesn’t have a lot of “sex, blood, gore, or profanity,” according to Scholl. She is one of three writers who will read and discuss their work at 7 p.m. May 12 at Rainbow Springs Art in Dunnellon, 20804 W. Pennsylvania Ave. Tickets are $5. Call 352-445-8547 or see www.rainbowspringsart.com. Scholl said cozy and brozy mysteries are set in a “small location with a limited number of charac-ters.” Her books take place in a Na-ture Coast trailer park. And a cozy or brozy sleuth often is an amateur. “The characters are the point,” Scholl said. In total, Scholl has published 15 “traditional books,” she said, as well as other books for fami-ly members, including her sister, Elizabeth Kesler, who writes and illustrates Christian-oriented chil-dren’s books. Kesler has gone on to publish her own books. Scholl turned to brozies as a challenge to see if she could write from a male point-of-view, she said. Her hero is Bernie Murphy, “a handsome Irishman, who relocated to the Nature Coast to connect with his family,” Scholl said. Scholl, who is Irish, persuaded her uncle, Bradford Hill, to pose as Bernie on the covers of the writer’s three brozies. In the cozies, Patty Decker is the heroine, and Scholl admits that “Patty is me from the get-go. But I hope I’m a little more socially ad-ept. She says things that I would not say, although I might think them. She’s a little more OCD.” However, Scholl also admits that she, herself, needs the TV volume to be set at multiples of 5. When an unsuspecting fellow TV viewer had the volume set at 27, Scholl got up and went to bed. Scholl’s three brozies feature mythical creatures. In “The Lecan-to Leprechaun,” rst in her “Na-ture Coast Calamities” series of brozies, a cantankerous leprechaun doesn’t make Bernie Murphy’s life Mary Lu Scholl writes “cozy” and “brozy” mysteries from her home near Crystal River. She raises both poisonous poinsettias, like the one behind her, as well as loofah tropi-cal gourds, like the one in her hand.Margo Wilson / Chronicle Correspodent Mary Lu Scholl to be 1 of 3 speakers at upcoming event Local writer continues ‘cozy, brozy’ mystery books Couple makes ‘life more pretty’ with jewelry creations By MARGO WILSON Chronicle Correspondent Sally Thime Krasny says she and her husband, Mike, are not necessarily super lov-ey-dovey when it comes to judging each other’s art. “We’re very critical of each other’s work,” she said. “We don’t hesitate to tell each oth-er what we think.” That practice seems to work well because Sally and Mike succeed at running their Mask Jewelry Design togeth-er. Sally creates fused glass pieces that Mike wire-wraps in intricately woven sterling silver strands. But both Sally and Mike do their own thing, as well. Sally, a former medical Sally and Mike Krasny to show at May Fest Special to the Chronicle Mike and Sally Krasny are jewelers and their business is Mask Jewelry Design.Multi-faceted theatre guy earns April ‘Peeps’ nod By MARGO WILSON Chronicle Correspondent By day, Larry Mitchell is a mild-mannered medical device sales representa-tive for Exact Sciences, a company that sells and re-searches cancer-screening tests, including Cologuard. By night and weekends, however, Mitchell is a chil-dren’s cheerleading coach and theater producer, di-rector, actor, and writer. He also is Lewis and Young Entertainment’s “Peeps in the Peep Sight” honoree for April. Lewis and Young is a local production company that recognizes the contri-butions of area theater par-ticipants with its monthly “Peeps” award. And Mitchell is a prize winner in several areas. He also won, in March, Lewis and Young’s audio contest for an actor to read Edgar Allan Poe’s poem, “The Raven.” You can hear Mitchell’s “Raven” reading and see a video about his “Peeps” award on Lew-is and Young’s website, Special to the Chronicle Larry Mitchell played Judge Stanfield in the Valerie Play-ers’ 2021 production of “The Trial of Ebenezer Scrooge.” See WRITER , page C5 See JEWELRY , page C2 See PEEPS , page C5 See GOOD TIMES , page C5

C2 Friday, April 28, 2023 Citrus County Chronicle ofce manager, and former business ofce manager at whatÂ’s now Bravera Health Seven Rivers hospital, said sheÂ’s been following an artis tic path all of her life. When she was 3, she col ored her parentsÂ’ hallway. “I was just trying to make life more pretty,” she said. She not only works with fused glass but also has done copper art, including larger pieces, such as waterfalls. Mike was an engineer.His patiently planned and wrought pendants, bracelets, and earrings not only feature SallyÂ’s fused glass but also gemstones and other pieces. HeÂ’s so detailed that he uses jeweler binoculars to prepare his creations. As this artist and engineer eyed retirement, they looked for something they could do. Sally already had the artis tic bent. When Mike discov ered wire-wrapping, a jewel ry business seemed a natural. Sally said they have decid ed to keep their business low-key. She said the Craft Coun cil shows are one major way they display their art. “ItÂ’s a fun part-time thing we do,” she said. And what is it like when an artist and engineer are togeth er 24/7? Sally gave an example. Say they want to hang a picture on a wall or set a piece of fur niture somewhere. “He has to measure the wall,” she said. “I can envi sion it.” Somehow they get it to work out. The Krasnys can be reached at maskjewelrydesign@gmail.com, and Sally has a Facebook page and can be found at Sally Thime Krasny. The couple will do custom work. They will be on hand at the upcoming Citrus County Craft CouncilÂ’s May Fest, to be held at the Plantation on Crystal River on May 13 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Plantation is at 9301 W. Fort Island Trail, Crystal River. For more information about the show and Craft Council, see the councilÂ’s website: www.citruscountycraft.com.

Citrus County Chronicle Friday, April 28, 2023 C3A & P Neighbors’ plant is a Little Shop of HorrorsDEAR AMY: We have lovely neighbors. They are great. We feel so lucky! I am a professional landscape designer, and just a little – uptight – about my own garden. I try not to impose my anal retentive obsessions upon others unless they are pay-ing me to do so, but holy noxious weeds – my neighbors’ lesser cel-andine is taking over! This is a terrible, invasive weed that smothers other plants. Native plants and pollinators do not have a chance. I have put up a fence – the nicest one I can. But it is only a matter of time before this plant has spread every-where. It doubles every year, spreading underground and on the wind and boots of others. Chemical control is the only realistic solution, even according to top, plan-et-loving experts. Should I offer to have my crew take care of it? These lovely people do not care at all about their garden. That is their preroga-tive. They have a crew who are the worst I have ever witnessed. They whack down the whole thing to the dirt every fall, cleaning it like it’s a bathroom. This gives this weed all the sunlight it wants, and now their choices are affecting me. Time is of the essence. There is a short window where this can be taken care of, before I have to wait another year, and then it will be twice as bad. What can I say, or offer to do, without overstepping? – Trying to be a Good Neighbor DEAR GOOD NEIGHBOR: First, you should acknowledge the possibility that your neighbors like to look out and see this carpet of glossy leaves sprinkled with yel-low owers in early spring. They may see it as the perfect, low-effort landscape that requires no mowing or maintenance. (Where I live, we call this plant “Brazen Hussy,” which is reason enough to like it.) So before approaching your neighbors, you should prepare yourself for the idea that they either like what they have, or simply don’t want to change. Do not as-sume that they don’t care. In my view your best option is to offer your full expertise to them. Acknowledge that this plant is a pretty harbinger of spring. Explain to them that the plant is very invasive and poisonous to some wildlife. Offer to redesign and re-landscape the affected area, at your effort and expense. Do not criticize their yard, their crew, or their taste, but do be honest that the plant is creeping over into your yard, and so your offer has some bene t to you. Review some options with them for replacing this plant with other low-growing owering woodland plants (sweet wood-ruff or myrtle) that won’t create problems. If they agree, draw up a plan, have them sign a standard contract, and waive all your fees. DEAR AMY: My wife and I read your column in the Washington Post every morn-ing (yes, we still get a newspaper!). We like to haggle over the questions and your responses. We don’t always agree with each other, or with you. We do wonder though: Are you ever stumped? – Faithful Readers DEAR FAITHFUL: I am frequently stumped (“stumped” is more or less my default mode), which is why I rely on my back-ground as a reporter to research answers. I am also a member of a large and loud family – and I often seek their advice. DEAR AMY: “Old Worrier” isn’t his daughter’s biological father, and in his el-der years he is really struggling with how to disclose this to her. His daughter may already know more than he thinks. My mom told me when I was in my mid-50s that she had something she need-ed to tell me, and I said, “Mom, I already know.” I’d known my Dad wasn’t my biological father for more than 15 years. I realized years before that things just didn’t add up. I kept my silence for their sakes. It didn’t matter to me why or who. I knew I was loved and raised by the man who was meant to raise me. Whatever mistakes (or secrets) were made in their past were theirs. It never changed anything, but it gave my Mom peace to tell me when she was ready. – Raised by Dad DEAR RAISED: My heart went out to this elder father who loved his daughter so much, but was haunted by the knowledge that he wasn’t her biological father. I hope their family has as beautiful a resolution as yours has had. Your folks raised you well.You can email Amy Dickinson at askamy@ amydickinson.com or send a letter to Ask Amy, P.O.

In Scholl’s second Nature Coast Calamity brozy, “Big Foot and the Bentley,” a gruagach, or Irish equivalent of Big Foot, makes an appearance. Or does he? And in Scholl’s third Nature Coast Calamity brozy, “Inver-Nessie,” guess who may be prowling the Floral City Pool? Yup, the American equivalent of the Loch Ness monster. But as Scholl points out, these denizens of the forests and lakes are “ancillary to the main plot.” To nd out the details of Bentley cars, the Loch Ness monster, and the Tsala Apopka chain of lakes, Scholl hits Google and Wikipedia hard, she said. She’s got Irish mythology books which she said are written in Old English with Gaelic pas-sages. The Gaelic “is Greek to me,” Scholl jokes. She interviews people who are in-the-know for additional infor-mation. Scholl, who retired as a supervisor with the U.S. Postal Service after 27 years, has held a range of jobs and now is employed as a casual worker for the Citrus County Park and Recreation de-partment. She told how at special events in which alcohol is served, a sheriff’s deputy is on duty to make sure no one becomes too inebriated. She approached a deputy at one such event and asked, “If you found a body in a canal, who would respond?” The answer is, “It depends,” Scholl said. The closest law enforcement of cer and/or vehicle would re-spond. The case would be within the purview of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Com-mission. The U.S. Coast Guard probably would be in charge. But the Coast Guard may be short-staffed, so the Coast Guard probably would align with the Citrus County Sheriff’s Depart-ment. To research boats, shing, and other watery topics, Scholl talked to her uncle and brother, and such places as Homosassa Marine. To nd out about classic cars, she approached members of the Cit-rus County Cruisers car club. And she’s discovered some fascinating information. For example, only a handful of insurance companies will insure Bentleys. But Bentley owners may choose to not insure their luxury vehicles because the own-ers may have so much money they can afford to take the risk, according to Scholl. Scientists have sampled the Environmental DNA, (eDNA) of Loch Ness and have determined no reptiles have lived there. This rules out the possibility that Nes-sie is a dinosaur, Scholl said. Nessie also is not likely a large sh, like a shark, cat sh, or giant sturgeon. Most likely, the Loch Ness monster is a giant snake or eel, Scholl said. And that research leads to tidbits about eels. Did you know most American, European, and West African eels are born in the Sargasso Sea? Scholl’s facts send her readers scampering to the Internet for more information. The Sargasso Sea, in the Atlantic Ocean, is about 700 miles wide and 2,000 miles long and bounded by ocean currents, not land. It is part of the Atlantic Ocean and within the Bermuda Triangle. Scholl also is knowledgeable about poison. She writes mur-der-mysteries, so it’s a profes-sional necessity. In her garden, she raises poinsettias, alstroemeria, poke weeds, bougainvillea, foxglove, and milkweed. Who knew they all were poisonous? Scholl does. A co-worker joked that she’d be careful not to pick anything in Scholl’s garden. That was before the woman knew what Scholl was growing. The woman simply had read Scholl’s work. And Scholl didn’t know her colleague was among her readers. The woman mentioning her desire to avoid the garden was the highest form of praise for Scholl. Scholl said when a reader refers to something he or she has read in one of Scholl’s books, or quotes a passage, or laughs over a word, character, or scene, that is her reward. It’s one of the reasons she writes. Writing brozies is challenging Scholl to push her artistic enve-lope by writing from a man’s per-spective. But she said she nds the thought of writing a longer novel and weaving a theme throughout to the end somewhat intimidating and something she might not try. However, penning an epic poem might be a challenge worth ac-cepting. She said she’s enough of a traditionalist to believe the lines in a poem should rhyme, and they should be written with meter and in stanzas. As she said, “I’ve always wanted to write “Beowulf.” You can nd Scholl’s books on Amazon.com, and some are on barnesandnoble.com and audi-ble.com. You also can nd her on Facebook by searching for “Mary Lu Scholl author.” WRITERFrom page C1 Dunnellon gallery to feature evening with authors By CHRONICLE STAFF Rainbow Springs Art in Dunnellon gallery is presenting “Writing on the Rainbow: An Evening With Area Authors,” May 12 at 7 p.m. at the gallery, 20804 W. Pennsylvania Ave., Dunnellon. Those featured include President of the gallery, Amy Peters Wood, reading from her book about sailing around the world with her husband in a hand-built boat. Also speaking is Betty Jean Steinshouer, an author, actress, and literary historian. She toured many years on the Chautauqua circuit, portraying women writers. Her book, “Long Road to Red Cloud,” is a study of author Willa Cather that won an International Book Award. She’s also published collections of essays and poems. And Mary Lu Scholl is an author of cozy mysteries – mysteries in which the violence is minimal, the sleuth is often a female amateur, and the setting is a small town or other socially “cozy” setting. She’s branched out to “brozies,” which have a male sleuth. Moderating the session is Margo Wilson, gallery member, Citrus County Chronicle freelance writer, and author of the novel, “The Main Ingredi-ent.” A donation of $5 is requested. Tickets are available at the gallery, by phoning 352-445-8547 during business hours of 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, or online at www.rainbowspringsart.com. lyeusa.com. Additionally, the cheer team for kids 8 and under that Mitchell coaches from his and his wife’s “A Step Ahead Performing Arts Academy” in Hernando recently placed second in a national com-petition, rst in two other com-petitions, and third in yet another cheer competition. Mitchell’s daughter, Sagan, 6, is on the team. His wife, Tiffany, runs the dance program at A Step Ahead. She formerly was a face char-acter princess at Disneyworld, a character in costume who inter-acts with guests. Among Mitchell’s local theater credits are directing plays at the Art Center of Citrus County and for the Valerie Players. He also appeared as Judge Stan eld in a 2021 Valerie Players’ produc-tion of “The Trial of Ebenezer Scrooge” and as Lewis and Young’s “Leading Man Larry” in “Last Laughs for ’23.” Mitchell said he was on the cheerleading squad at Penn State University, where he focused on health and human development but took many theater classes. He said he considered majoring in theater, but his parents wanted him to be “more practical.” So he’s combined the health and theater worlds. There is a theater space at A Step Ahead, and Mitchell has been laying plans to revive and relaunch his FNPC Productions from the Hernando studio. He said “FNPC” stands for “Friday Night Planning Committee.” During COVID, the group brainstormed scripts, made costumes, and built the theater space. After the pandemic was somewhat tamed, the performers dis-persed. Mitchell wants them to re-assemble this summer to work on at least two scripts he’s written – one a full-length play, “The Lone-ly Road,” and one a puppet show for December, “Dash Away All.” In his “Peeps in the Peep Sight” video interview, Mitchell said he’s found that “Citrus County is chockful of amazing talent.” As Mitchell sees it, “There are so many great artists. There are so many performing arts groups. Citrus County will surprise you as to the cultural depth you will nd here.” Mitchell and his family appear to be adding to that depth. He and his daughter, Sastia, 13, offer “352 Science Crew” live shows every month from the stu-dio, focusing on such things as fossils. “I’m a science nut,” Mitchell said. “I want to share the excite-ment. I really love evolutionary biology. It’s beautiful.” He said he hopes to run a science camp for kids this summer. Meanwhile, son, Blyth, 11, is studying guitar with Scott El-liott, who has performed with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and teaches at Washington & Jefferson College in Washington, Pa., and at West Virginia Univer-sity in Morgantown. Rex Young, one of the co-owners of Lewis and Young Enter-tainment, said Larry and Tiffany Mitchell are “fun, great people.” Young said Larry is “a great guy, a Renaissance man. He’s done a lot of stuff in the commu-nity.” You can connect with A Step Ahead by clicking on its web-site, www.dancecirtus.com. You also can find the perform-ing arts studio’s Facebook page by searching for “A Step Ahead Performing Arts Acad-emy.” Information about the science programs is at 352sciencecrew.com or search for “352 Science Crew” on Facebook. The phone for Step Ahead dance studio is 352-423-1118. The phone for 352 Science Crew is 352-419-4105. PEEPSFrom page C13 p.m. May 13 at the Plan-tation on Crystal River. The Plantation is a new venue for the Craft Council, which often holds its shows at the Flori-da National Guard Armory in Crystal River. Besides the change of location, the council also will be offering another new nuance – free raf e tickets to both attendees and their moms when each accompanies the other. The raf e bene ts the Young Marines. The May Fest will be in two buildings at the Plantation. Park-ing and admission are free. The Plantation is at 9301 W. Fort Island Trail, Crystal River.
