Habitat project temporarily on holdMichael D. Bates

Staff writer

George Rusaw, president/CEO of Habitat for Humanity of Citrus County, said the COVID-19 pan-demic threw his nonprofit for a loop and delayed plans for an ambitious 500-home build in Citrus Springs.

The organization’s two thrift stores were closed 37 days, with a loss of almost $20,000. Mail-in donations are down. People are just scared right now and uncertain, he said.

But despite it all, Rusaw said the local Habitat is moving for-ward with its projected goal of 20 newly built homes in the

current fiscal year, which started July 1. The future, though uncer-tain, remains bright and he attri-butes that to solid reserves in the budget and a caring community.

“We have faith in our commu-nity,” Rusaw said. “We have faith in our team. The need is not going to go away. It’s only going to get

worse. But we are steadfast.”

How it beganIn 1993, the local habitat began

“with a handful of hard-working people who just had a dream,” Rusaw said.

The mission of the nonprofit Christian housing ministry was to build homes for low-income residents.

County looks to curbside recycling

MATTHEW BECK/ChronicleLarry and Jessie Morgret deposit recyclable materials into containers Thursday, July 16, 2020 at the Central Landfill in Lecanto. The couple have made recycling a regular habit. Larry Morgret said, “We were recycling before it was cool to recycle.”

Mike WrightStaff writer

Citrus County officials are still unsure whether universal trash pick up is on the horizon, but they’re banking on one thing: Curbside recycling ser-vice will be part of it.

The county commission last week limited public access to the final remaining free recycling convenience center when com-missioners said the recycling bins at the county landfill will be available only during business hours — 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Saturdays.

Commissioners say they

know recycling is popular, but the isolated recycling bins have become a target for illegal dumping.

Commissioner Scott Carna-han has said that curbside re-cycling pickup will likely be a part of the universal trash dis-posal program the county is considering. Carnahan did not return calls for comment.

The county in February solicited bids for a universal trash collection program that includes curbside recycling pickup, as the cities of Crystal River and Inverness now offer. The bids are expected back this fall.

According to documents the

county provided the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, however, Citrus is

banking on curbside recycling to help the county reach the

Local recycle centers dwindle

Recycling containers sit at the Central Landfill in Lecanto. The county estimates 50% of materials deposited in containers is garbage that cannot be recycled.

Citrus Springs resident advocates for VFW reopeningsMargo WilsonFor the Chronicle

From an office across from a tranquil section of Ocala’s Tus-kawilla Park, Eugene Perrino, 61, of Citrus Springs, fights for statewide Veterans of Foreign Wars posts to re-open, now that the coronavirus has shut them down.

That’s his latest duty, on top of his day-to-day mission advocat-ing for veterans’ benefits and rights.

Perrino is the Florida VFW’s adjutant/quartermaster, based at

state headquarters in Ocala. The 22-year Army veteran who served in Desert Shield and Des-ert Storm, retired in 1999 as an Army chief warrant officer. He’s been on the job at state VFW headquarters since 2011 and said he is serving under his 10th state VFW commander.

COVID-19 “is a big thing” for VFW posts, he said, since they’ve had to close because they hold state liquor licenses and are being treated as bars.

The VFW is trying to persuade the governor to grant an exemp-tion so that veterans’ groups that

do community service work will be allowed to re-open. The posts, closed in mid-March, were able to open in early June but were forced to re-close, as were bars, by the end of June.

“Some people say it’s just a place to get a cheap drink,” Per-rino said about the posts, “but that’s not what we’re about.”

Meetings set for planned toll roadsThe News Service of Florida

The next round of meetings on controversial toll-road projects from Collier County to Jefferson County will be online and in person.

After months of virtual meet-ings because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Florida Depart-ment of Transportation an-nounced dates Thursday for three “hybrid” meetings. Members of task forces working on each of the projects will meet online before public comment periods in which people can comment online or at

designated locations.Approved during the 2019 legis-

lative session, the projects are in-tended to extend the Suncoast Parkway from Citrus County to Jefferson County; extend the Florida Turnpike west to connect with the Suncoast Parkway; and add a new multi-use corridor, in-cluding a toll road, from Polk County to Collier County.

People who attend the meet-ings will be required to wear masks and maintain social dis-tancing, the department said in the announcement.

The first hybrid meeting is set

for Tuesday, July 21,2020, on the Suncoast Parkway extension, with the public gathering loca-tions at Riverside Christian School in Trenton and the Jeffer-son County K-12 A Somerset School in Monticello.

The turnpike extension meet-ing Wednesday, July 22, 2020, will be open at the Hilton Ocala and the Building Alliance Banquet Hall in Lecanto.

The Lee County Civic Center in North Fort Myers and the Jack Stroup Civic Center in Sebring will be open Thursday, July 23, 2020, for the meeting on the

project from Collier and Polk counties.

Supporters of the projects say they will prepare the state for fu-ture growth and aid in disaster evacuations. Critics argue the roads will cut across naturally sensitive land and devastate rural areas.

An initial timeline called for the task forces to provide final re-ports by October, with construc-tion expected to begin before the end of 2022. However, because of COVID-19, the deadline for the task-force reports has been pushed back to Nov. 15.

Fundraiser set for preemie, ‘Baby Slade’NaNcy KeNNedy

Staff writer

For such a tiny baby, Slade Valdez certainly has his share of physical problems.

Born premature and now al-most four months old, he was born with a cleft palate and a hole in the roof of his mouth. He has suffered a stroke, which has caused damage to his brain; he has torticollis — tight muscles in the neck that he may outgrow with lots of physical therapy — and a pos-sible genetic disorder that is still being tested.

But he’s the baby his family — mom and dad Tracy and Ben Valdez and big sister Selina Martin — wanted dearly.

“The entire pregnancy was very hard,” Tracy said. “I was very sick the entire time with high blood pressure, gesta-tional diabetes — the whole nine yards.”

On Tuesday March 24, 2020, her water broke and she was rushed to the hospital and im-mediately given antibiotics and steroids.

The next day she was trans-ferred to UF Shands in Gaines-ville and on Friday, March 27, Slade was delivered via C-section.

Unable to breathe on his own, Slade was rushed to the NICU where he spent the next 11 days. A CPAP machine helped him for several hours until he could breathe on his own, and he was fed via a feed-ing tube until he could learn to drink from a bottle with his cleft palate.

Now he’s home with his

family in Holder, but his days and weeks revolve around on-going appointments back and forth to Gainesville and sev-eral times a week to Inverness for feeding therapy, physical and occupational therapy.

On April 22, 2021 surgery is scheduled to correct Slade’s cleft palate.

Meanwhile, the family is raising money to purchase a reliable vehicle to get Slade to his appointments.

Ben Valdez is currently working two jobs, full-time as a manager and pharmacy tech at CVS in Beverly Hills and also at a local Circle K five days a week.

“He’s trying his best to keep us afloat,” Tracy said.

They have one working vehi-cle, a truck that doesn’t have air conditioning, which Tracy uses to get Slade to his appoint-ments — and it’s stifling hot.

A GoFundMe account, “Med-ical expenses and transporta-tion for baby Slade,” has been set up, with a goal of $6,000. Also, there’s a Facebook page, “Prayers for Slade” with a link to a CashApp account.

A fundraising car wash and bake sale will begin at 9 a.m. on both Saturday, July 25 and Sunday, July 26 at Snow’s Country Market, 6976 N Le-canto Hwy, Beverly Hills (Holder), near the intersection of County Road 491 and U.S. 41.

“Honestly, he’s a hard, needy baby,” Tracy said. “He cries a lot. He cries — I cry … But he recently smiled, so we’re work-ing on getting him to smile more.

“When it’s so hot taking him

to his therapy appointments and his clothes are soaked with sweat, I feel hopeless as a mother — the other day I cried all the way to Inverness,” she said. “I’ve never asked for help before, but I need to do what’s best for him.”

Slade’s grandmother, Marga-ret Norman, said her daughter and son-in-law are good parents who are in a

tough situation.“They’ve got a wonderful

8-year-old daughter and now a special little boy,” Norman said. “Every day we say a prayer and ask God’s blessing, and there’s a lot of people who are praying for this special lit-tle boy.”

Contact Tracy Valdez at [email protected] or text: 352-342-7413.

Special to the ChronicleSelina Martin, 8, holds her baby brother, Slade Valdez, who was born with numerous physical needs and challenges, including a cleft palate. He was also born premature and has suffered a stroke.

EntErtainmEntNo Prince Andrew in Princess Beatrice’s

wedding photosLONDON — Princess

Beatrice wore a vintage dress loaned to her by her grand-mother Queen Elizabeth II at her wedding to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, Buckingham Palace said Saturday as it released official photographs from the private family event.

The queen’s granddaughter and the property tycoon were married Friday in the Royal Chapel of All Saints at Royal Lodge, Windsor. The 94-year-old British monarch and her husband Prince Philip, 99, attended along with the parents and sib-lings of the bride and groom.

The palace said guidelines to stop the spread of COVID-19 were followed at the ceremony. Music was played but there were no hymns and no singing — not even during the national anthem, “God Save the Queen.”

Beatrice, 31, wore a vintage ivory taffeta dress by Norman Hartnell and a diamond tiara that was worn by the queen on her own wedding day in 1947. The 36-year-old groom wore a morn-ing suit. Beatrice, the daughter of Prince Andrew and his former wife Sarah Ferguson, had origi-nally planned to marry Mapelli Mozzi on May 29 in the Chapel Royal at St. James’s Palace. The ceremony was postponed be-cause of the pandemic.

The nuptials have also been overshadowed by questions about Andrew’s friendship with the late American sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The prince has stopped performing public royal duties amid demands by U.S. authorities to question him about Epstein, who died in a New York jail in August 2019 while facing

sex trafficking charges. Andrew does not appear in the two wed-ding photos released by the palace.

Time Out magazine founder Tony Elliott dies of cancer at 73

LONDON — Tony Elliott, founder of the Time Out city guide publishing brand, has died at 73, the publisher said.

Time Out Group Chief Execu-tive Julio Bruno said Elliott had been suffering from lung cancer

and died Thursday.Elliott founded Time Out as an

entertainment and listings maga-zine for London during a univer-sity summer vacation in 1968, when he was 21, according to the publication’s website.

It went weekly in 1971 and be-came essential reading for fans of food, music, theater, movies and art. Time Out New York was launched in 1995, followed by similar publications in cities around the world, as well as a series of travel guides.

Associated PressBritain’s Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi stand in the doorway of The Royal Chapel of All Saints at Royal Lodge, Windsor, England, after their wedding on Saturday.

It took 10 years for the founders to build 10 homes. By its 20th anniversary, vol-unteers had built 100 and in the past six or seven years, it celebrated its 200th home.

Last fiscal year, the vol-unteers — which average around 30 at any given time — built 20 homes and that goal is the same for this year.

“We are very thankful for what (our founders) did and what the team is doing now,” Rusaw said.

A hard pauseHabitat for Humanity of

Citrus County was about to embark on perhaps its most ambitious mission in the past 27 years: building 500 homes in a section of Citrus Springs.

The team was in the pro-cess of obtaining permits to begin construction on the first 100 lots “but the pandemic knocked us out of step,” he said.

The state directives forced closure of the two ReStores in Inverness and Crystal River, where an av-erage 5,000 people per store spend money that goes into habitat coffers. That, along with a falloff in donations, stung.

“That was a pretty good kick in the britches but we had the reserves to handle that,” Rusaw said.

“People are just un-easy,” he added. “They’re cautious. The whole land-scape has changed and until we can get more cer-tainty, I would expect more of the same.”

The nonprofit’s annual budget is close to $4 mil-lion, with about $1.5 mil-lion coming from thrift store revenue.

“That shattered our con-fidence a bit and didn’t know what to expect (when) we reopened.

Would the public want to shop? Would donors want us coming to their resi-dences (for pick-ups)?”

Not to worry.Traffic in the stores has

returned and things are looking up despite the cur-rent virus concerns.

The mission continues

Rusaw said the board is backing off on the Citrus Springs project until con-ditions stabilize.

He figures it would have cost about $2.6 million to get the infrastructure in place for the first 100 lots — mostly extending the water and sewer lines. Habitat had embarked and will continue to move forward with a capital campaign — to supple-ment borrowing from its own assets or selling some of them — to push that project forward.

Rusaw said there are 27 units in Citrus Springs, and the habitat homes would be built in unit 2, which carries less strin-gent deed restrictions al-lowing for 1,000-square-foot homes with carports, for example.

But that hasn’t stopped Habitat’s normal pro-jected goal of building 20 homes elsewhere in the county.

Those 20 sites have al-ready been pre-selected, with five already permit-ted and under construction.

“We can continue to serve the community at the level we’ve been going without building in Citrus Springs for the next three or four years — if need be — and we can still con-tinue our mission.”

How it worksThe bulk of Habitat vol-

unteers are “partner fami-lies,” who earn 500 sweat equity hours in a variety of ways, including attending education courses on home ownership, working in the thrift stores and helping out on the job site.

Alternative tasks are given to folks who are dis-abled or physically challenged.

The board of directors has already approved a waiting list of 28 families who are working toward their home to be built in the next fiscal year or thereafter.

A typical Habitat home costs about $104,000 from start to finish on a three-bedroom home and $108,000 for four bedrooms.

Homeowners own the title as soon as they move in and can sell it down the road if their financial situ-ation changes.

Although Habitat has the right-of-first-refusal on the home, which means it has negotiating rights be-fore it’s placed on the mar-ket, the local habitat doesn’t exercise that right, Rusaw said.

The longer the family stays in the home, the more money they accrue.

For example, someone staying in the home for about five years could re-alize $15,000 to $20,000 in equity, resulting from interest-free payments.

The average Habitat homeowner’s house pay-ment, he said, is about $400 a month — not in-cluding utilities — and that includes taxes and insurance.

Still givingDuring the recession in

the mid 2000s, Habitat For Humanity was probably the top builder in the county for a time.

“We were certainly in the top three or four,” Rusaw said.

The reason: Habitat builds homes for people in need. For-profit busi-nesses build homes for folks who want to move here or are simply looking for a new home, he said. During the recession, money was tight, and many were not taking chances on such large purchases.

“There was little supply and demand back then,” Rusaw said. “That’s why we could continue during the recession and do well. Even during tough times, the community is still giving.”

Dealing with COVID-19

Toni McAndrews, mar-keting and volunteer coor-dinator with Habitat for Humanity of Citrus County, said volunteers at both the Habitat ReStores practice social distancing and wear face masks.

“For construction, we are only allowing a small amount of people at the job site at one time and that is at the discretion and planning of Habitat’s Construction Director, CD Perez,” she said. “Face coverings are required and again, all the safety guidelines are being

adhered to with special construction COVID-19 signage in place at the job site.”

‘They build a nice home’

CJ Dixon, broker-owner ERA American Realty & Investments and ERA Suncoast Realty, said hab-itat not only helps

low-income people move into a quality built home, it also adds to the county housing inventory down the road when those ten-ants get on their feet and sell their homes.

That original habitat home will then be bought by others and the cycle goes on.

“They build a nice home,” he said.

GETREADYFOR

state-mandated 70% recycling goal.

“Making curbside recycling available to all Citrus citizens will result in a substantial in-crease in the county’s recycling rate,” the report states.

And, even with county recy-cling now limited only to busi-ness hours at the landfill, the county’s website has not been updated.

“We also operate a single- stream recycling program at nine neighborhood drop-off lo-cations. Volunteer organizations monitor and maintain the sites and earn revenue from the sale of the materials,” it incorrectly states. “Our goal is to extend the life of the landfill by providing long term sustainable recycling, diversion and waste reduction services to the citizens of Citrus County in an environmentally sound manner.”

Oliver in 2015: ‘Get rid of’ county recycling centers

Recycling has a history in Cit-rus County and in Florida.

In the late 1980s and 1990s, the state placed a recycling tar-get of 30% and provided grants to the county for curbside recy-cling pick. The county provided

that grant-funded service to un-incorporated Inverness, Crystal River, Beverly Hills and Riverhaven.

The grant program ended and that led to the county opening community recycling centers in the early 2000s. Clusters of recy-cling bins were scattered throughout the county by ar-rangement with community or neighborhood associations.

Selling recyclables was a money maker for the contract company hauling the recycling material, and community organi-zations that shared in the profits.

By around 2015, though, those profits began to dwindle and then disappear altogether due to import tariffs in China, the world’s largest user of recycled materials.

And with that, the county began shuttering the community recy-cling centers. Partially for cost reasons, but more because offi-cials said the recycling bins were becoming cluttered with garbage and junk, which “contaminates” the recycling materials.

County Administrator Randy Oliver estimated about half the materials collected in the bins cannot be recycled.

“I’d like to get rid of those convenience cen-ters,” he said in 2015.

In 2017, commission-ers closed three recy-cling centers: at the sandbag site on State Road 44 near Crystal

River, in the Withlacoochee Technical College (WTC) park-ing lot in Inverness; and a col-lection site in Citrus Springs. All three, commissioners said, were becoming unsightly with illegal dumping.

Then in February, commis-sioners said they would close the Floral City recycling center on Duval Island for illegal dumping. Two months later, they decided to close all the recy-cling centers but one — at the county landfill.

That site is not in the landfill’s main entrance, but a second en-trance just west that leads to a WTC firearms training course. County officials acknowledge someone was closing and locking the gate each day, barring access to the recycling containers.

A Chronicle reporter notified Oliver in late May that the gate was locked on the weekend. Oli-ver said the county was address-ing the issue.

“It is normally open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,” he

said in a June 1 email. “My understanding is there is a gun range on the back of the landfill used by a number of par-ties and one of them locked it. They want a gate so no one can wan-der back into that area. Hopefully we will be in-stalling that gate in the

next two weeks.”The next day, though, came a

second email from Oliver that said: “We plan to lock the gates back until a more permanent solution is implemented. We will, however, continue to keep an eye on contamination. Hope-fully if citizens are dedicated enough to bring their recycling to a recycling drop off center they will be considerate.”

Sometime in mid June, how-ever, the county opened the gates after business hours and someone tossed construction materials into the bins, officials said.

Asked by email when the gate was opened, assistant public works director Larry Brock said it was unlocked during “the first weeks of June” — even though Oliver said they would not be open outside normal landfill business hours.

County: Curbside pickup will push Citrus

toward state goalAccording to the state Depart-

ment of Environmental Protection report, Citrus has fallen well short of the state’s recycling goals. In 2012, Citrus had a recycling rate of 25%; the state goal that year was 40%. In 2017, the re-port states, Citrus had a 48% recycling rate when the state goal was 60%.

In 2018, Citrus’s recycling rate dropped to 39% while the state’s

goal is 70%.Citrus was one of 32 counties

that had not met the 70% pla-teau by 2018, and was required to send a report by September 2019 detailing how it planned to increase recycling.

The county’s answer in part: curbside recycling.

The county told state officials that commissioners had voted to begin a 3-year clock to notify haulers that it may be enacting a franchise ordinance.

“At the end of this three year period, the Board of County Commissioners will vote on tran-sitioning to franchised universal collection, or leave it as is,” the report states. “This will provide for curbside collection of trash, yard waste, and recyclables at each household in the unincor-porated areas of Citrus County.”

Commissioner Jeff Kinnard said it’s clear that standalone recycling bins have drawbacks.

“Some residents love them, others are trashing them and ru-ining them,” he said. “As a

whole, we don’t recycle well. Too many people are ruining it for those who want to recycle cleanly.”

Commissioner Jim-mie T. Smith said there are no easy answers to the recycling dilemma.

“Everyone agrees re-cycling is the right thing

to do,” he said. “The question is how to do it.”

Consider adopting a pet

I recently found five 3 1/2-week-old kittens in an empty home on the Homo-sassa River. I contacted Pre-cious Paws because I knew they try to place homeless cats and dogs. I got a wonder-ful cat nine years ago from Precious Paws when I went to an animal fair in the Crystal River Mall.

I spoke to a volunteer who said they could take them but it could not be for a while — they needed to be eating out of bowls and using a litter box. So for the past three weeks, I have been working towards that goal. In the meantime, I have spoken with Precious Paws several times and was told that they had many cats and as some of these were adopted, there would be room for those I had.

I took a trip to their center today so I could finally meet the volunteer with whom I had been speaking, and I am considering becoming a vol-unteer. I was not prepared for what having 50-60 cats in a small space would be like. They are well cared for but are not where they need to be — in loving homes. They have cats of all ages. Some of the older cats have been there for more than a year. It was over-whelming and sad to see. Vol-unteers feed, clean and tend to these animals.

COVID-19 has made it im-possible to take these animals to facilities like the Tractor Supply or other locations be-cause of the danger of crowds gathering. The pandemic has compounded the problem and it will only get worse. One has to go to the shelter to see them.

These animals could bring so much joy to a home. Many of my friends feel they are too old to get a young cat. The older cats would be the solu-tion for that.

I ask this community to

think about sharing their lives and homes with one of these animals. Or offer to vol-unteer in the shelter. Also spread the word about the im-portance of spaying and neutering.

The adoption center is at 5164 S. Florida Ave., In-vernes. The phone number is 352-726-4700.

Marin a dedicated worker and a doerThe qualities and charac-

teristics of good political leaders get lost during elec-tions, which in my opinion are: accomplishments, a doer and not a procrastinator, criti-cal thinking, to be solution driven, the ability to reach across the aisle and find com-mon ground regardless of party affiliation, the ability to unite and not divide, to con-vince without alienating, con-fidence, motivation, caring, flexibility, honesty and integ-rity, knowledge of the subject matter, patience, good com-munication skills, to actively listen, to be people driven and not agenda driven and, to be inspired by the people that will be represented.

Luis Marin, candidate for County Commission District 3, encompasses the attributes I feel are important to be a public servant. I rarely lower my standards, nor do I believe in gender politics when it comes to voting for someone who will represent me and our community.

One attribute that is un-heard of in politics, is some-one that never stops being a public servant. Luis is a re-tired law enforcement deputy, who served 36 honorable years, and never took a sick day. Remarkable! Luis is still actively serving our commu-nity. He is dedicated and de-pendable. You can’t ask for more when selecting someone to represent you.

He is a leader and he is knowledgeable. If something needs to be done, it doesn’t matter how menial the task, he still delivers. He is a dedi-cated worker and a doer.

Luis Marin is someone that has had meaningful and mea-surable work experiences and exposures; someone who has been gainfully employed. How can anyone properly represent their constituents if they have never had measur-able and verifiable accomplishments?

The reality is that most can-didates will tell you what you want to hear, what will get them elected.

What is also important is that he has law enforcement experience. We do not need another businesses person, because government cannot be run as a business. We need to break away from that men-tality and elect someone who has experience and knowledge.

Luis is unapologetically loyal and uncompromisingly caring and generous. I want a real person representing me. Please consider voting for Luis Marin for County Com-missioner, District 3.

ENDORSEMENT : SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS

Chronicle endorses Maureen ‘Mo’ Baird

Editor’s note: The Chronicle Editorial Board issues en-dorsements of local candi-dates. Endorsement decisions are based on multiple inter-views conducted with each candidate by the board and staff. Candidates not endorsed by the editorial board of the Chronicle are encouraged to submit a rebuttal to letters @chronicleonline.com no later than Thursday, Aug. 13, 2020. All rebuttals submitted prior to the deadline are guar-anteed to publish no later than Monday, Aug. 17, 2020, the day before Election Day.

For the first time in more than 20 years, voters have the task of

choosing a new person to oversee the election process in Citrus County.

It’s been more than a year since Susan Gill, who has held office since 1996, an-nounced she would not seek a seventh term, instead choosing to retire.

Voters, however, should breathe a sigh of relief when it comes to choosing her successor.

With more than 30 years of experience in the Supervi-sor of Elections office, Mau-reen “Mo” Baird has the knowledge and dedication to continue to lead Citrus County forward in the years to come.

Baird’s service to the of-fice dates to 1985 when Wilma Anderson was super-visor. As operations man-ager, Baird said she has

overseen at least 79 elec-tions in Citrus County.

In addition to overseeing a number of elections, Baird has assisted in implement-ing two voting systems, in-cluding the current system in 2018.

She has the training. She’s a graduate of the National Election Center Certified Election and Registration Administrator Program (CERA) from Auburn Univer-sity as well as the Florida Certified Election Profes-sional (FCEP) program. FCEP is tailored to all as-pects of Florida Elections and sponsored by the Flor-ida Supervisors Association and the Florida Institute of Government at Florida State.

Gill agreed, giving her protégé an endorsement.

“Look at what she’s done here,” Gill said in May 2020.

While not a household name before election sea-son, Baird has really de-lighted the voters of Citrus with her knowledge of the election process and her dedication to it. We trust her with our ballot, and we think a lot of people will feel safe with her at the helm of the office. The other supervisors of elections throughout the state seem to think she is the best choice too.

Most important, while she is a registered Republican, she is apolitical to the nth degree.

Baird knows elections. She is clearly the best choice.

CHRONICLE ENDORSEMENTSn Commissioner, District 5 — Holly Davisn Commissioner, District 3 — Ruthie Davis Schlabachn Supervisor of Elections — Maureen “Mo” Baird

It’s election season and as always the Chronicle has endorsed my opponent. No

surprise there. It seems some would prefer a representative of the people to sit quietly and simply allow things to go along as they have. How has that worked so far?

We need better paying jobs, a stronger infrastruc-ture and to protect our history.

Our county has been economically stagnant for quite some time, causing our children to move away at the first chance and even busi-nesses owned by Citrus County residents to relocate to other counties.

Our infrastructure literally has grass growing through resi-dential roads and we see those who want to protect our history face an uphill battle.

I’ve led the charge on ad-dressing these issues, but some people, including those who publish the Chronicle don’t like it.

As an elected official I be-lieve it’s my job to speak up, to argue, to disrupt and to make demand on your behalf, de-mands that are based on re-search by those who create jobs, citizens who have these experiences and the youth that want a better future.

I’m the only commissioner who has reached out to numer-ous groups like research fel-lows at the Mercatus Center, on zoning and the people who cre-ated the Alice Report, that deals with the economics of the community.

I have then reported back to you through radio interviews,

meetings and newspaper articles.

That’s the exact job of elected officials.

The citizens of Citrus County don’t need or want to pay county com-missioners to sit quietly and com-fortably in their seats while a few county bureaucrats run the county in whatever arbitrary and subjective manner they choose.

We shouldn’t speak up only when we know we’re going to win, or when it’s comfort-

able or easy to do; we need to speak up frequently, whatever the chance of success or victory.

You deserve county commis-sioners fighting for you to make Citrus County a better place to live and work. After all, you pay for it and that is why I should be your choice on election day.

From agriculture, business owners and especially average citizens, normal brings in a psy-chological element— whose to say what’s normal or abnormal?

I frequently see people’s con-cerns dismissed by elected offi-cials and a few county staff that have no time or desire to change things for the better.

Why do people choose to come to me to address the issues?

The answer is simple, I have been unafraid to actually do what I was elected to do, which is represent the people who elected me. As an elected offi-cial, I’m not collecting a county salary to be complacent. I’m here to represent you. In poli-tics speaking up is necessary, and I readily do so, on all topics

important to you, including fighting to end the wasteful spending on repaving roads no one lives on, ordinances for the youth to have more opportuni-ties to do FFA and 4-H pro-grams, starting the Civil Citation discussion, and the Culture of Clean, creating more sports opportunities and much more. I am proud of the suc-cesses we’ve achieved, but there’s much left to do.

While the Chronicle often says we need leadership, it seems it’s only the leaders they want. When they talk about the need for vision, they reveal themselves as blind to the fight-ing I’ve been doing to end wasteful spending, to create better policy for business and to improve the quality of life.

But you the people have seen it, you see it when I show up to your events, when I ask the im-portant questions, when I listen to your advice and when I speak up on your behalf.

Regardless of the continuous efforts of the Chronicle to not write about my successes, you have chosen me in the past be-cause you know I represent you.

Together let’s continue the fight to improve Citrus County. I pledge to never sit quiet or to comfortably and easily collect a county paycheck, or to refrain from fighting for you when a fight is needed.

I am not the candidate for the Chronicle, bureaucrats or those willing to get along to go along. I’m the candidate for you.

I ask for your support when you go to vote, either by mail-in ballot, early voting or at the vot-ing booth on August 18th, elec-tion day.

Adjustments needed for family membersThe letter from Jay Blanco,

“Concerned with elder care” (June 27, 2020, Page A14), I am completely with you, Jay. It sounds like your father’s in the same facility my mother is at and I have got to get in there to see her. I will wear a mask; I will wear gloves just like the people that work there do. I need to get in to see my mother to make sure that she’s OK. It has gone too long. They need to make adjustments to allow the family members in to see them and not wait ’til it’s the end of their time.

Crystal River Museum set to reopen

We, the volunteers of the Crystal River Heritage Museum (formerly Old City Hall) on Cit-rus Avenue, wish to thank the city of Crystal River and its Maintenance Department;

especially Ray, for the beautiful work he did in putting the shine back to this beautiful, old build-ing; and to Cindy, a very, very dedicated volunteer who worked

tirelessly to reorganize the historic exhibits. We will reopen July1. Our hours are Wednesday through Saturday from 11 to 3. Please come and experience the his-tory of this beautiful, old city.

Good for a Sunday sermonIn the Saturday,

June 27, Chronicle, in letters to the editor, there is an article ti-tled, “Concerned with elder care.” It gives a graphic descrip-tion of what it’s like to be elderly and in a nursing home and help-less in the little day-to-day epi-sodes. ... It also goes for the outside world. Everyone should read this because they will pos-sibly be there in that position one day and know how it feels. Perhaps it would even be a good Sunday sermon subject.

Florida has 165 VFW posts from Key West to Pensacola, Perrino said.

He said some veterans are “coping fine” with the virus. But others, espe-cially those who have Post Traumatic Stress Disor-der, are having a hard time. These vets may use the posts as a respite, where they can talk to peo-ple who’ve experienced similar things while in combat. “But now they have nowhere to go,” Per-rino said.

Moreover, the posts not only serve as a gathering spot for members, but also do community service. They help vets with paper-work. If a vet is having fi-nancial or other difficulties, the posts can help out.

The posts also sponsor scholarships, give awards to student essay writers, firefighters, police officers, EMTs, teachers and ROTC students, and have flag retirement ceremonies.

They have a trailer full of emergency gear, like food, tents, tarps and gen-erators, ready for action should a disaster, like a major hurricane, hit, Per-rino said.

They visit vets in veter-ans’ hospitals.

Much of this service work has been suspended during this time of the virus. And the posts also aren’t bringing in money, Perrino said. That’s of spe-cial concern to Perrino, since as state VFW quar-termaster — an elected position — he serves as the group’s chief financial officer.

As adjutant, he oversees administrative matters and paperwork.

Perrino was born in Tar-rytown, New York, but his family later moved to Flor-ida. He attended school in Citrus Springs, graduated from high school in Tampa, and joined the Army in 1977. In 1979, he married Kathleen Duzy, who graduated from Cit-rus Springs High School in

1976, was a fifth-grade teacher, and later retired from Brannen Bank after 25 years.

The couple has two sons, Eugene Jr., 39, of Deland, who is a distribu-tor of chemicals to the au-tomotive industry, and Michael, 36, of Fort Worth, Texas, who is on his third deployment out of Dubai with the U.S. Air Force. There are six grandchil-dren. Perrino said his sons and his daughters-in-law all have master’s degrees.

As a warrant officer in the Army, Perrino said he worked in ordnance, among other things, keep-ing track of trucks, tanks, generators, and all sorts of gear, “making sure that when we go to battle, we’re ready to go.”

He joked that “the war-rant officer is the quiet guy behind the scenes who makes the commander look good.”

Not only did Perrino serve in Desert Shield and Desert Storm, he was sta-tioned twice in Korea. He was at Fort Gordon in Georgia, Fort Campbell in Kentucky, with the 7th Corps in Germany, at the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland, Fort Stewart

in Georgia, with the Train-ing With Industry program working with UPS in Co-lumbus, Ohio, and finally, at Fort Lee in Virginia, where he worked with the Combined Arms Support Command. He retired from Fort Lee.

His awards includer a Bronze Star, Legion of Merit, four Meritorious Service medals, and three Army Commendation medals.

When he’s not oversee-ing VFW matters, Perrino said he enjoys riding his Indian motorcycle, playing golf and spending time with his grandchildren.

He said he may think about retiring in another five years or so but for now, he will stay and “ride this bull until I’ve tamed it or am thrown off.”

One thing he knows. “I’ll never not be doing VFW stuff. If you stay active, you stay alive,” he said.

For Perrino, “I love what I do, love my job, love working with vets. I will continue as long as the membership and com-manders want me to.”

He added one caveat. He said he will continue as long as, but only as long as, he wants to.

World eyes tougher stepsGeir Moulson and

BoBBy Caina Calvan

Associated Press

Signs of governments re-assessing their coronavi-rus response were scattered around the world Sunday, with the mayor of Los Angeles say-ing the city was reopened too quickly, Ohio’s gover-nor warning his state is “going the wrong way,” Hong Kong issuing tougher new rules on wearing face masks and Spain closing overcrowded beaches.

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said Los Angeles was “on the brink” of new widespread stay-at-home orders as Los Angeles County continued to see the state’s largest increase in confirmed coronavirus cases. California reported on Saturday its fourth-highest daily total of newly confirmed coro-navirus cases, with more than 9,000.

Appearing on CNN Sun-day, Garcetti was asked about a Los Angeles Times editorial that criticized the rapid reopening of California, which was fol-lowed by a spike in new COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations.

“I do agree those things happened too quickly,” Garcetti said, adding that the decisions were made at the state and county lev-els, not by city officials. But he also said people in general had become less vigilant about taking pre-cautions to avoid transmission.

“It’s not just what’s open and closed,” he said. “It’s also about what we do individually.”

Infections have been soaring in U.S. states in-cluding California, Flor-ida, Texas and Arizona, with many blaming a hap-hazard, partisan approach to lifting lockdowns as well as the resistance of some Americans to

wearing masks.In Florida, where health

officials reported nearly 12,500 new infections and nearly 90 additional deaths on Sunday, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio called for consistent, nonparti-san messaging.

“We’ve seen a lot of these things turned into sort of a partisan fight or a political statement,” he told South Florida televi-sion station, CBS4, on Sunday.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, like Rubio a Republican, said he would not rule out a statewide mandate on wearing masks, as infec-tions in his state grew. He has already issued such orders in 19 counties ac-counting for nearly 60% of the state’s population.

“We’re going the wrong way. We’re at a crucial time,” DeWine said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

Globally, the World Health Organization said

that 259,848 new infections were reported Saturday, its highest one-day tally yet. India, which has now confirmed more than 1 million infections, on Sunday reported a 24-hour record of 38,902 new cases.

Pope Francis said “the pandemic is showing no sign of stopping” and urged compassion for those whose suffering during the outbreak has been wors-ened by conflicts.

In Europe, where infec-tions are far below their peak but local outbreaks are causing concern, lead-ers of the 27-nation Euro-pean Union haggled for a third day in Brussels over a proposed 1.85 tril-lion-euro ($2.1 trillion) EU budget and coronavirus recovery fund.

German Chancellor An-gela Merkel said there is “a lot of good will, but there are also a lot of posi-tions” in the talks, which have have laid bare

divisions about how the countries hit hardest by the pandemic, such as Italy and Spain, should be helped. She said the talks, which were initially scheduled to end on Satur-day, could still end without a deal.

Confirmed global virus deaths have risen to more than 603,000, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. The United States tops the list with over 140,000, followed by more than 78,000 in Brazil. Europe as a conti-nent has seen about 200,000 deaths.

The number of con-firmed infections world-wide has passed 14.3 million, with 3.7 mil-lion in the United States and more than 2 million in Brazil. Experts believe the pandemic’s true toll around the world is much higher because of testing shortages and data collec-tion issues.

Associated PressA man wearing a face mask to protect against the new coronavirus puts his masked child on his shoulders as they visit to a shopping district in Beijing, Sunday, July 19, 2020. China on Sunday reported another few dozen of confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the northwestern city of Urumqi, raising the total in the country’s most recent local outbreak to at least 30.

House leaders ‘alarmed’ feds

policing protestsPORTLAND, Ore. — Top

leaders in the U.S. House said Sunday they were “alarmed” by the Trump ad-ministration’s tactics against protesters in Portland, Ore-gon, and other cities, includ-ing Washington, D.C., and called on federal inspectors general investigate.

“This is a matter of utmost urgency,” wrote House Judi-ciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-New York, Homeland Security Commit-tee Chairman Bennie G. Thompson, D-Mississippi, and Oversight and Reform Committee Chairwoman Carolyn B. Maloney, D-New York, in a letter to the inspec-tors general of Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security.

The Democratic lawmak-ers are seeking an investiga-tion “into the use of federal law enforcement agencies by the Attorney General and the Acting Secretary of Homeland Security to sup-press First Amendment pro-tected activities in Washington, D.C., Portland, and other communities across the United States.”

The mayor of Oregon’s largest city said Sunday the presence of federal agents is exacerbating tensions in Portland, which has seen nearly two months of nightly protests since the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

Roger Stone calls Black radio host slur in interviewRoger Stone, a political

operative whose 40-month prison sentence was com-muted this month by Presi-dent Donald Trump, his longtime friend, called a Los Angeles-based Black radio host a “Negro” on the air during a contentious interview.

The exchange occurred on Saturday’s Mo’Kelly Show, whose host — Morris O’Kelly — grilled Stone on his conviction for lying to Congress, tampering with witnesses and obstructing the House investigation into whether Trump’s campaign colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election.

O’Kelly on his program’s website said “Stone could have reached for any pejora-tive, but unfortunately went there,” adding that “Stone of-fered an unfiltered, unvar-nished one-sentence expression of how he saw the journalist interviewing him.”

EU summit leader appeals for unity

on virus fund BRUSSELS — Seeking to

tug at the hearts of all Euro-pean Union leaders, EU Council president Charles Michel implored them late Sunday to overcome their fundamental divisions and agree on an unprecedented $2.1 trillion EU budget and coronavirus recovery fund to tackle the crisis.

After three days of fruitless talks, Michel conjured up during an official dinner the vision of the 600,000 dead that COVID-19 has claimed around the world and the un-precedented recession it has wrought on the bloc.

“Are the 27 EU leaders ca-pable of building European unity and trust or, because of a deep rift, will we present ourselves as a weak Europe, undermined by distrust,” he asked the leaders at the end of another day of divisive ne-gotiations. The text of the be-hind-closed-doors speech was obtained by The Associ-ated Press.

“I wish that we succeed in getting a deal and that the European media can head-line tomorrow that the EU succeeded in a Mission Im-possible,” Michel said.

Dillon leads 1-2 RCR finish at TexasRestart keys the win in Cup race

Stephen hawkinS AP sports writer

FORT WORTH, Texas — Aus-tin Dillon stayed in front after a restart with two laps to go and beat rookie teammate Tyler Reddick to the checkered flag at Texas, giving Richard Childress Racing a 1-2 NASCAR Cup fin-ish and quite a show for specta-tors spread out in the stands on a scorching Sunday.

Dillon raced to his third ca-reer win and first since Daytona at the start of the 2018 season. It was Dillon and Reddick in front on the final three restarts, the first after an incident with 29 laps left that shuffled the fast car of Ryan Blaney to a lap back.

“Not bad for a silver spoon kid, huh?“ said Dillon, the grandson of Childress. “Tyler Reddick, he raced me clean. 1-2 for RCR. This has been com-ing. We’ve had good cars all year.

I’ve got my baby Ace back home, my wife. I’m just so happy.”

It was the first 1-2 finish for RCR in the Cup Series since Clint Bowyer won at Talladega in 2011 ahead of Jeff Burton.

On the final restart in Texas, Dillon got a good jump and raced to the checkered flag ahead of his rookie teammate and some veteran drivers.

“Can’t ask for much more than what we got there,” Reddick said. “I just wanted it to be be-tween us. I didn’t want to bring other cars into it, make sure that we could fight it out. We just got the restarts that kept giving us opportunities.”

Joey Logano finished third, with Kyle Busch fourth a day after he finished ahead of the field in two races — having an Xfinity Series victory taken away after his car failed a postrace inspection before win-ning the Truck Series race at night. Series points leader Kevin Harvick was fifth.

There were an estimated 15,000-20,000 spectators at the track, where it reached

In a holding patternChriS Bernhardt Jr.

For those that love the game of base-ball, this week figures to generate a great deal of excitement.

Finally, after a four-month delay due to the pandemic and an ugly labor dis-pute that threatened to shut down things entirely, Major League Baseball’s regular season begins Thursday, July 23, 2020.

For Donnie Dewees, though, the wait to get back on the field will go on for much, much longer. There will be no salvaging of the Minor League Baseball season; in an unprecedented move all seasons were canceled a few weeks ago. That was a technicality considering COVID-19 had prevented them from ever starting and left no practical ave-nue for them to be safely played out.

Dewees, a 2012 graduate of Crystal River High, should be in the midst of his sixth professional season, back with the Chicago Cubs organization that origi-nally drafted him. Instead he’s back home, having recently moved to Tampa.

“I’m in a holding pattern, staying pre-pared and ready,” Dewees said. “It is what it is. You can’t control it. But it stinks being in a situation where for an entire year you’re not playing baseball.”

The fate of minor league players has been a hot-button topic of discussion even before the pandemic hit. Going back to late last year there was talk of 42 minor league affiliates being eliminated.

Then during the months of hiatus brought on by the pandemic, some MLB teams drew harsh criticism for releas-ing minor leaguers or deciding not to pay their salaries. The Cubs are among the franchises that have reportedly agreed to pay their minor leaguers a $400 weekly stipend at least through July 31.

“That’s half what I would make in a season,” Dewees said. “But it’s still something to live off.”

A 26-year-old left-handed outfielder, a second-round draft pick by the Cubs in 2015 after a stint at the University of North Florida, Dewees has appeared in 566 minor league games over his career. He worked his way up to Triple-A in 2018 while within the Kansas City Roy-als organization.

Dewees was traded to the Royals in February of 2017. On March 8, 2019, he was sent back to the Cubs in exchange for pitcher Stephen Ridings.

“The last two years have been good. It’s been kind of crazy with the trades and all that,” Dewees said. “It’s been a fun ride. There have been ups and downs. Sometimes things go well, some-times things don’t. … It’s awesome being back (with the Cubs).”

In 2019 he played his first full season at Triple-A, with the Iowa Cubs of the Pacific Coast League. He hit .253 in 111 games, with 16 home runs and 52 RBI while scoring 60 runs with a .334 on-base percentage.

After the season he played in the Do-minican Winter League for Gigantes del Cibao, hitting .301 while scoring 14 runs and stealing eight bases in 27 games.

Then in the spring he made his first ap-pearance in big league camp, playing in nine contests. In 17 plate appearances he hit .313, with two homers, seven RBI and seven runs scored.

“It was about midway through Spring Training and I got the call to go home,” Dewees said. “I was doing really well. It was looking good for me.”

He has found his way back on the field in another capacity. He’s been coaching an 18U travel ball team com-prised of players from around the state. It was an opportunity he heard about through an old coach.

“It’s new. I’m learning. But it’s been fun,” Dewees said. “It’s nice to be

around the game and see guys who want to play the game and enjoy it.”

It also provides him with a chance to keep up with his throwing. He may not be part of the Cubs’ 60-man player pool for the upcoming season, however that could change.

“It’s kind of tough because it’s hard right now to practice baseball,” Dewees said. “I’m adjusting to it. I try to find ways around it.

“I need to be prepared and ready to go at all times. I’m just throwing and hit-ting and working out, and doing every-thing I’d do to prepare for Spring Training or the regular season.”

Players plead

with NFLWant to address

health, safetyroB Maaddi

AP pro football writer

NFL players are publicly pleading with the league to ad-dress several health and safety concerns on the eve of training camp.

The league informed teams on Saturday that training camps will open on time even though discussions with the players’ union regarding test-ing for the coronavirus and other health and safety proto-cols are ongoing.

Rookies for Houston and Kansas City are set to report Monday and rookies for other teams are due on Tuesday. Players for all teams are sched-uled to report by July 28.

Many prominent players ex-pressed their thoughts in a so-cial media blitz Sunday.

“We need Football! We need sports! We need hope!” Saints quarterback Drew Brees wrote on Twitter. “The NFL’s unwill-ingness to follow the recom-mendations of their own medical experts will prevent that. If the NFL doesn’t do their part to keep players healthy there is no football in 2020. It’s that simple. Get it done @NFL.”

Seahawks quarterback Rus-sell Wilson said he is concerned because his wife, Ciara, is pregnant.

He wrote: “My wife is preg-nant. @NFL Training camp is about to start.. And there’s still No Clear Plan on Player Health & Family Safety. ???? We want to play football but we also want to protect our loved ones. (hashtag)WeWantToPlay.”

NFL Players Association ex-ecutive director DeMaurice Smith and President JC Tretter addressed the union’s concerns in a 90-minute videoconference call with reporters on Friday.

They want players tested daily for the virus. A joint com-mittee of doctors, trainers and strength coaches formed by the NFL and NFLPA recom-mended testing every other day.

Other outstanding issues in-clude number of preseason games. The league has planned to cut the exhibition schedule from four games to two while the union wants none.

Players also wanted a 45-day acclimation period to help avoid injuries. The league asked them to report early but the union declined. Questions remain on protections for

Rahm’s wild, winning day ends at No. 1Holds on after leading big at the MemorialDoug Ferguson

AP golf writer

DUBLIN, Ohio — The drama was more than Jon Rahm wanted. The result was what he always imagined.

Rahm became the No. 1 player in the world Sunday with a victory in the Memo-rial in which he watched an eight-shot lead at the turn shrink to three shots with three holes to play, and then hit what he called the greatest shot of his life that turned into a bogey be-cause of a penalty.

All that mattered was that fist-bump — not a handshake — with Jack Nicklaus, and taking his place along his idol Seve Ballesteros as the only Spaniards to reach No. 1 in the world.

With a two-shot penalty for his ball moving the length of a dimple on his chip-in behind the 16th green, Rahm closed with 3-over 75 for a three-shot victory over Ryan Palmer.

Rahm got up-and-down on the final four greens, which made it feel even sweeter.

“One of the best perfor-mances of my life,” Rahm said. “Yesterday was prob-ably one of the best rounds of my life, and finished today with some clutch up-and-downs. As a Spaniard, I’m kind of glad it hap-pened that way.”

The fiery emotion is his hallmark. He showed it with a tee shot that sailed left into a creek on the 11th hole, Rahm slamming his club into the ground in a pique of anger. And it was evident with that fero-cious fist-pump when his flop shot from deep rough behind the 16th green rolled into the cup.

Birdie or bogey, it was a

winner, a shot that would have made Ballesteros proud.

“I still can’t believe it, I’m not going to lie,” he told Nicklaus off the 18th green.

With the penalty — Rahm had no idea it was an issue after his round, but accepted the penalty when he saw a video that zoomed in close on the ball — he finished at 9-under 279 for his 10th ca-reer victory, fourth on the PGA Tour.

Muirfield Village played its toughest in 42 years, with only five players under par, the fewest for the final round since this tournament began in 1976. Rahm’s 75 was the highest finish by a winner since Roger Maltbie shot 76 the inaugural year.

The rough wasn’t cut all week. The greens were al-lowed to go to the edge be-cause they are being replaced. Crews already had stripped the entire fifth green as the leaders were on the back nine.

Rahm looked to be play-ing a different course. He played bogey-free on the front nine with birdies on the two par 5s. That put

him eight shots clear on his way to No. 1.

And then he made bogey on the 10th. Not a problem.

He yanked his tee shot into a creek on the par-5 11th, and that was a bigger problem based on how hard he slammed the club into the ground in a pique of anger. He made double bogey. Palmer made birdie on the 12th, and then Rahm made another bogey from the bunker on the 14th.

Just like that, the lead was three shots.

Only a week ago at Muir-field Village for the Work-day Charity Open, Justin Thomas had a three-shot lead with three holes to play and wound up losing in a playoff to Collin Morikawa.

Rahm was worried his tee shot might find the back bunker, though the rough was not a great op-tion with how fast the greens were running. Rahm was thinking any-thing inside 10 feet would be good. This was perfect, the ball landing on the fringe and sliding down the slope into the cup.

As for the penalty?“It doesn’t change the

outcome of the tourna-ment,” he said. “It just puts a little bit of an aster-isk in it in the sense of I wish I could just keep that birdie because it was one of the greatest shots of my life, right?”

The chip was similar — but from a different angle — to Tiger Woods chipping in from behind the 16th green when he won the Memorial for the fifth time in 2012.

Woods, in his first com-petition since Feb. 16 be-cause of the COVID-19 pandemic, shot 76 and tied for 40th.

“Tough, tough condi-tions to start out my first week back, Thursday and Sunday,” Woods said. “But it was good to get the feel and the flow of competing again.”

Matthew Fitzpatrick had a 68 for the low score of the final day to finish third.

The consolation prize went to Palmer (74) and Mackenzie Hughes (72), who earned spots in the U.S. Open at Winged Foot in September as the lead-ing two players from the top 10 who were not al-ready eligible.

Exhibitions games have make-it-up-as-you-go feelJosh Dubow AP sports writer

A seventh-inning stretch without fans at Yankee Stadium was far from the oddest happening on the second day of summer ex-hibitions in the majors.

The first inning ended at Dodger Stadium with-out Los Angeles making a single out Sunday night, a game went to the 10th in-ning in Philadelphia even with the Orioles leading the Phillies 4-1, and the Yankees hit in the bottom of the ninth with a 6-0 lead over the Mets.

It’s not quite baseball like you’re used to seeing. Then again, we’d never seen baseball amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The most peculiar situa-tion occurred during the first exhibition between Arizona and the Dodgers, with the game having an intrasquad feel.

Diamondbacks starter Taylor Widener got off to a rough opening when he walked the first two

batters and then gave up a single to Justin Turner that loaded the bases. Cody Bellinger followed with a grand slam to make it 4-0.

Corey Seager then walked and was heading to first base when he learned the inning was over. Widener had thrown 25 pitches in the first, but he stayed in the game and allowed six runs in four innings overall.

That wasn’t the only oddity among the four ex-hibitions played during the day.

In Philadelphia, the Ori-oles appeared to have wrapped up a victory over the Phillies when the teams headed out for the 10th to give Trevor Kelley a chance to throw an in-ning as he tunes up for the regular season.

Kelley ended up giving up a homer to Ryan Mountcastle before the game ended after 9 1/2 innings.

In New York, the Yan-kees had put together a

win over the Mets behind two homers from Aaron Judge, and one each from Giancarlo Stanton, Gary Sanchez and Luke Voit.

But the Mets wanted Seth Lugo to pitch a sec-ond inning so the game went to the bottom of the ninth where Lugo retired the Yankees in order.

Earlier in the game, the

teams took the traditional break in the seventh in-ning for fans to stretch to “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” even though none were there. They also played “God Bless Amer-ica” over the loudspeaker.

MIGRATING JAYSThe Blue Jays are still

searching for a home

stadium this season after Canada’s government barred Toronto from play-ing in its home stadium amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Pitcher Anthony Bass said Sunday the players have told general manager Ross Atkins they’d prefer to play in a big league sta-dium if possible.

“I just said, ‘Look, we want to play in a major league ballpark. We feel that’s the best opportunity for us,’ and he agreed and said, ‘I listened to you guys loud and clear and that’s what we’re going to do for you because that’s what the team wants,’” Bass said.

The team has consid-ered playing home games at its training facility in Dunedin, Florida, which is among the states that are virus hotspots, or Sahlen Field in Buffalo, New York, which is home to Toronto’s Triple-A affil-iate and just across the Ni-agara River from Canada.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

97 degrees late in the first summertime Cup race at Texas — it was supposed to be a spring race nearly four months ago, before the coronavirus pandemic postponed and then shuf-fled NASCAR’s schedule. Inside the cars, it was 130-140 degrees.

After leading six times for 150 laps, both highs for the race, Blaney finished seventh.

Blaney, who had given up the lead when he pitted on Lap 287, fell a lap down after the field got shuffled with 29 laps to go when rookie Quin Houff crashed hard out of Turn 4. That also put pole-sitter Aric Al-mirola and Chase Elliott, coming off a $1 million win at NASCAR’s All-Star race at Bristol on Wednesday night, a lap down.

Cole Custer, the rookie driver for Stewart-Haas Racing coming off a win last weekend at Kentucky, was one of 11 drivers in-volved in a chain-reaction crash on Lap 218 that brought out a red flag. His crumbled No. 41 Ford came to rest near the exit of pit road.

That pileup on the front-stretch came the lap after restart with most of the

cars still jammed together as they came off the fourth turn, when Blaney ap-peared to be among sev-eral cars to get loose, though he was out in front of the melee when cars started crashing.

Track workers took water to drivers in their parked cars on their track during the red flag that lasted more than 11 minutes.

It was 30 degrees warmer than it was on March 29, when the race had been scheduled before the pan-demic. Texas will host a playoff race Oct. 25.

It was the first major sporting event in Texas in more than four months to allow spectators, and one of the largest gatherings of any kind in the state during the pandemic. The specta-tors were spread out along the frontstretch, which was fully shaded late in the race, and there were also people in about 40 suites.

Speedway Motorsports, which owns Bristol and Texas, is a private com-pany like NASCAR, and does not release official attendance numbers. But there appeared to be about 20,000 fans at Bristol for the All-Star race last Wednesday night, and a similar crowd had been expected at Texas, where current regulations would have allowed 50% capacity

at the track that seats about 135,000.

All 32 teams have sent the union their Infectious Disease Emergency Re-sponse that have been ap-proved by joint infectious disease experts and NFL chief medical officer Dr.

Allen Sills, according to a person familiar with the details. The person, speak-ing to The Associated Press on condition of ano-nymity because protocols haven’t been finalized, said the union has ap-proved several and contin-ues to review them.

On Friday, the league sent players and teams an Education Protocol for camp which requires

clubs to distribute joint educational materials and to conduct educational sessions for players, staff and family members.

Tretter, a center for the Browns, wrote: “What you are seeing today is our guys standing up for each other and for the work their union leadership has done to keep everyone as safe as possible. The NFL needs to listen to our

union and adopt the ex-perts’ recommendations (hashtag)wewanttoplay.”

Under the collective bargaining agreement, the NFL has the right to im-pose report dates and teams can fine players who don’t report.

The NFLPA could file a grievance to argue the league isn’t providing a safe work environment under the labor deal.

Robert L. Schwartz, an author, wrote, “The entrepreneur is essen-tially a visualizer and an actualizer. He can visualize something, and when he visualizes it, he sees ex-actly how to make it happen.”

That reminds me of one of my fa-vorite television shows: “Shark Tank.”

How should an entrepreneur sit-ting South visualize the play in four hearts after West leads the

diamond king to dummy’s ace?The North hand is tough to eval-

uate because it comes down to the usefulness of the spade queen.

If it is of no value — South has a singleton spade, say — then his hand is worth only a two-heart raise. But when the queen is help-ful, the hand is worth a game-invi-tational limit raise.

South has a borderline raise to game.

There seem to be four unavoid-able losers: two hearts, one dia-mond (given the annoying lead) and one club.

Some players would cross to hand with a spade and lead the heart queen from hand, hoping that West has king-doubleton and ner-vously rises with his honor. But West will surely realize that if de-clarer had the heart ace, he would have taken the finesse.

There is one chance to make the contract without a misdefense. South must hope that the spades are 3-3 and either opponent has a singleton trump honor.

Declarer plays a spade to his ace, cashes the spade king and over-takes the jack with dummy’s queen. When no one ruffs, South plays dummy’s last spade and discards his diamond loser. If the trumps are as declarer visualized, a de-fender ruffs the 13th spade, but at the cost of a trump trick.

8 p.m. on (A&E)Hoarders

This Emmy-nominated series returns for its 11th season, delivering a batch of new two-hour episodes starting with a season premiere devoted to Carol, who has spent much of the past two decades amassing a hoard of “treasures” in the home she shares with her hus-band, Dave. Now, however, Carol has left Dave, who is in

failing health and baffled as to how to address the mountains of accumulation that puts his mansion on the brink of being condemned.

9 p.m. on (HBO)I May Destroy You

Running out of money and still unable to finish a first draft of her book, Arabella (Michaela Coel) accepts a job working alongside Theo (Harriet Webb) at a vegan delivery start-up company, in the new episode “ Happy Animals.” Mean-while, on her birthday, Terry (Weruche Opia) takes some secret measures to make abso-lutely sure Simon (Aml Ameen) won’t make an unwanted sur-prise appearance at her party.

9 p.m. on (TRAV)Buried Worlds With Don

WildmanWhile exploring a cave in England, host Don Wildman takes time to inspect a new find on that site: ancient “witches marks” in the new episode “Curse of the Druids.” Hoping to investigate how such marks may be linked to the supernat-ural, Wildman visits wells that

have been deemed holy spots and dives into a mysterious shipwreck regarded by some to be “the first Titanic.” He also meets modern-day druids to see whether a bloody battle may have ended with a deadly curse.

10 p.m. on # %POV

The acclaimed documentary se-ries opens Season 33 with Linda Goldstein Knowlton’s “We Are the Radical Monarchs,” which shines a spotlight on the next generation of inspiring activists by following a group of young girls of color who stand on the frontlines of social justice. The co-founders of Radical Monarchs — working mothers Anayvette Martinez and Marilyn Hol-linquest, both part of the LGBTQ community — share their per-sonal journeys as they try to expand their group in Oakland, Calif., which has a deep history of organizing movements.

10 p.m. on (A&E)Intervention

This still-powerful Emmy-win-ning docuseries, which looks at addicts who are running out of options and the impact of

their disease on those around them, returns for Season 21 with a premiere that focuses on Melanie, who was only 8 when her father committed suicide. Raised by a fragile single mom, Melanie started acting out to get attention during her adolescence and discovered crack cocaine by age 14. Years later, Melanie is a single mother herself with a crack habit that threatens her custody of the son she adores.

Sharks vs. Dolphins: Blood Battle

They’ve shared the ocean for millennia, but scientists have only recently begun to understand the incredibly com-plicated relationship between sharks and dolphins. This new one-hour documentary fol-lows a team of experts as they travel to Shark Bay, Australia — regarded by experts as the epicenter of this conflict — to unlock the secrets of shark and dolphin combat. Cutting-edge technology provides research-ers and viewers with a window into this seldom-seen behavior-al conflict.

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

Dear Annie: My 26-year-old daughter is in a seri-ous relationship with a

partner 10 years her senior. He comes to the partnership with an established home. What would you advise my daughter to expect or require going into this marriage-like arrange-ment? Should she expect to be put on the house deed as soon as they are married? What would be fair for all con-cerned? She is just beginning her career, so she is presently renting but saving for a home. — Troubled Dad

Dear Troubled Dad: Whether or not to add her name to the deed is up to and between the two of them. I am sure your intention is to just ensure your daughter is squared away; she’ll always be your little girl, after all. But tread lightly here — because if her partner heard you showing such concern for his assets, he’d most likely be troubled himself.

Dear Annie: I recently moved into a large apartment complex in the heart of down-town. I was thrilled to snag a unit. There’s just one problem, and it’s an uncomfortable sub-ject. A few nights a week, the couple who live upstairs are ... intimate.

I wish I didn’t know this, but they make it impossible for me not to. I’ve lived here for two months now, and they’ve shown no signs of subsiding. How could I politely bring this to their attention without things becoming really awk-ward every time I run into them by the mailboxes? — I Hear You Up There

Dear I Hear You Up There: The path of least awkwardness here would be to buy a sound machine and/or earplugs. (Re-ally, I’m beginning to think all apartments should come with those. It would make the living easier.) If that doesn’t take care of it, then it’s time to let the neighbors know they have an involuntary audience. Though I’m usually a strong supporter of talking things out face-to-face, this is one cir-cumstance in which a note is just fine. Keep it simple and upbeat; add warmth with a smiley face or exclamation points. I know that seems silly, but seemingly silly little things can make all the difference when it comes to getting along with neighbors.

Dear Annie: I don’t under-stand why everyone is in such a push to outlaw cellphone use while driving. If a distracted driver crashes into me, I don’t care if the person was answer-ing a call, eating lunch, looking for a song or dealing with tod-dlers in the back seat; the per-son should have pulled over to deal with the distraction.

Our focus should be on edu-cating people that driving is a full-time job. A University of Maryland study showed that at 30 mph, you have over 1,320 things occurring around you and in your car every mile you travel. So if we want to out-law distractions, we cannot just outlaw phones. Eating in the vehicle, having pets in the vehicle, audio entertainment and talking to passengers would need to be outlawed, too. You’d be down to a one-seat car with no accessories in it.

Of course, that is ridiculous, as is thinking that outlawing phones is the answer. It is up to all drivers to limit their dis-tractions as much as possible so that they are obeying the laws and rules of the road at all times. — Retired Traffic Cop and Driver Safety Instructor

Dear Retired Traffic Cop: You make a great point. Dis-tracted driving is distracted driving, whatever the reason. Thanks for sharing your in-formed opinion on the matter.
