‘Unconfirmed’ CRHS COVID-19 caseBUSTER THOMPSON

Staff writer

A day after welcoming its pupils back to campuses, the Citrus County School District experi-enced its first response to COVID-19 on school grounds.

Crystal River High School ad-ministrators were informed the afternoon of Friday, Aug. 21, 2020,

of an unconfirmed case of the novel coronavirus involving a stu-dent, according to school district spokeswoman Lindsay Blair on Sunday.

Blair said the student’s parent called the high school about their child’s COVID-19 test result, which originated from a test the student had to have to be cleared for a medical procedure.

“Not because they were symp-tomatic,” Blair said.

Following school district policy, Blair said, high school officials on Friday relocated seven affected classes of students to other areas of the school so their former class-rooms could be cleaned.

Families were also told of the classroom changes, Blair said, noting the seven classrooms

equal a full high school day of seven periods.

Principal Janet Tuggle also in-formed district student services director Kit Humbaugh of the sit-uation so the Florida Depart-ment of Health in Citrus County (DOH) could be notified to start tracing back the student’s con-tacts using provided class-seating charts, Blair said.

“Some parents don’t call the health department, they call the

(SOWW), sponsored by Keep Citrus County Beautiful Inc., will be Sept. 19-26 with the theme, “25 Years Protecting Our Waters.”

The week, which promotes public appreciation and aware-ness to save the county’s irre-placeable waters, features eight activities of which three are of-fered to the public free of charge and five with a suggested $10 donation.

The week kicks off with the 31st annual Lakes, Rivers and Coastal Cleanup on Saturday, Sept. 19. Individuals and groups are encouraged to participate in the clean up by visiting https://tinyurl.com/y7ay9wr7 for an application no later than Sept. 3. All clean up partici-pants will receive a Save Our Waters Week T-shirt.

The week concludes Satur-day, Sept. 26 with a live and vir-tual presentation by Quinn Zacharias, environmental engi-neer and research assistant, at University of Florida Howard T. Odum Center for Wetlands.

The week also features a photo contest, video contest, guest speaker program (call Lace at 201-0149) and guest commentaries in the Citrus County Chronicle. Regrettably, the popular high school and middle school environmental jeopardy competitions, as well as some other activities, are not offered this year due to COVID-19.

In previous years, most water appreciation activities were generously offered for free.

However, the organization is asking attendees to consider

CR teen killed

in crashJEFF BRYAN

Staff writer

A three-vehicle crash early Sunday morning on U.S. 19 left one Crystal River teen, 19, dead after a wrong-way driver collided head-on with his pick-up truck, accord-ing to Florida Highway Patrol traffic report.

That 19-year-old was Carson Guy, the son of Cindi Guy, Crystal River city council-woman, where her son’s death was announced on her Facebook page.

“It’s with a broken heart that I have to say ... my son Carson Guy was killed in an auto accident this morning on his way to work,” the post stated. “The nightmare that all par-ents can’t imagine.

“Our family is reel-ing from this horrific day and cannot imag-ine what the days to come.”

FHP troopers noted in their report a 66-year-old Clearwater woman was driving a Sedan, driving north-bound in the south-bound lanes of U.S. 19 at approximately 6:30 a.m. when she struck the Carson Guy’s truck.

The 19-year-old died on scene, according to the FHP.

Website preps students for futureBUSTER THOMPSON

Staff writer

Don’t know the best way to apply to colleges, technical schools, the military or a future career?

Having trouble pursuing finan-cial aid opportunities?

Don’t worry. There’s a new, one-stop website dedicated to helping students navigate the sometimes stressful path toward their post-high school goals.

Citruscollegecoalition.org went

live on Tuesday, Aug. 18, 2020.It’s supported by the Citrus

County Coalition for College & Careers (CCCCC) in partnership with the Citrus County School District, the Citrus County Educa-tion Foundation, the College of Central Florida, the YMCA of Cit-rus County and the Florida Col-lege Access Network.

“There’s a lot of stuff in there,” said Patrick Simon, the coalition’s president and founder, “but it has to be because not every student

follows the same pathways to success.”

CCCCC is a nonprofit focused on working with local school offi-cials and community organiza-tions to provide area students with assets to accomplish their educational goals.

Scrolling through its website’s tabs gives students and families access to a variety of planning re-sources for not just additional schooling, whether collegiate or vocational, but for the armed

forces and direct placement into the workforce.

“Sometimes we assume every kid is going to a learning environ-ment after high school,” Simon said.

For students and their families, CCCCC’s website provides step-by-step guidance on exploring ed-ucational options, tracking down student aid, starting college appli-cations, prepping for SAT and ACT tests, comparing schools, hunting scholarships, writing es-says and crafting résumés.

“It’s very dynamic,” Simon said, “and that’s what I like about it.”

Water District seeks public input

BUSTER THOMPSON/Chronicle fileThe Southwest Florida Water Management District (District) is seeking public input about the order in which minimum flows and levels (MFLs) for lakes, wetlands, rivers, streams and aquifers in the District will be determined. The District workshop will provide an important opportunity for local governments, residents and the public to be part of the scheduling of minimum flows and levels for priority water bodies, such as the Chassahowitzka River.

Special to the Chronicle

The Southwest Florida Water Management District (District) is seeking public input about the order in which minimum flows and levels (MFLs) for lakes, wetlands, riv-ers, streams and aquifers in the District will be deter-mined. Legislation requires the District to review and, if necessary, revise this schedule each year.

Following the directive in the Florida Department of Envi-ronmental Protection’s Emer-gency Order to conduct all

public meetings electronically to reduce the spread of COVID-19, the public meeting for the annual update of the District’s Minimum Flows and Levels Priority List and Schedule will be virtually via Microsoft Teams from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 26. The work-shop will provide an important opportunity for local govern-ments, residents and the public to be part of the scheduling of minimum flows and levels for priority water bodies.

A minimum flow or level is the limit at which further water withdrawals will cause significant harm to the water resources or environment. The District’s Governing Board sets these limits as part of achiev-ing the balance between meet-ing water needs and sustaining Florida’s natural systems.

The adopted minimum flows and levels priority list and schedule for 2019 is available on the District’s website here. The draft 2020 list will be pub-lished on the site following the Governing Board’s August meeting. The revised schedule will be considered for ap-proval at the Board’s meeting in October.

Written comments on the draft priority list and schedule may be submitted to Doug Leeper, MFLs Program Lead, at doug.leeper@watermatters.org or to 2379 Broad Street, Brooksville, Florida, 34604 no later than Sept. 23. For infor-mation, call Doug Leeper at 800-423-1476, ext. 4272.

Florida breaks 600k COVID-19 cases, but infections again fall

TALLAHASSEE— Florida broke the 600,000 mark for confirmed coronavirus cases Sunday, but reported one of its lowest daily to-tals in two months, continuing a downward trend that began five weeks ago.

Florida reported 2,974 new cases on Sunday, only the second time since June 22 that fewer than 3,000 new cases have been tallied in a day. The other time was Monday, when 2,678 cases were reported. Sundays and Mondays often have a low number of reports as not all hospitals report on the weekend. The daily total peaked July 15 when more than 15,000 cases were re-ported, but has been declining since.

Hospitalizations due to COVID-19 have also been declining. Late Sunday morning, 4,578 pa-tients were being treated for the disease in Flor-ida hospitals compared to Saturday’s 4,773. It is a drop of almost 800 since Thursday. Hospital-izations peaked at above 9,500 on July 23. The state’s positivity rate on tests over the past week has been just over 10%.

Overall, the state has now reported 600,571 confirmed cases. The state reported 51 deaths Sunday, bringing the total to 10,462. Over the past week, the state has reported an av-erage death rate of 125 per day and an average of 151 deaths per day during August. Only Texas, at 203 deaths, has a higher daily average over the past week. It has about 50% more residents.

Deaths from COVID-19 usually occur two weeks or more after diagnosis, so epidemiolo-gists have said Florida’s fatality rate should shrink in the coming weeks if confirmed infec-tions continue to shrink.

ENTERTAINMENTCity naming sewage plant after comedian

John OliverDANBURY, Conn. — A Con-

necticut town’s officials are show-ing comedian John Oliver what they think about his expletive-filled rant about their city — they’re naming the local sewage treat-ment plant after him.

Danbury Mayor Mark Bough-ton announced the tongue-in-cheek move in a video posted on his Facebook page on Satur-day that shows him at the plant.

“We are going to rename it the John Oliver Memorial Sewer Plant,” the Republican mayor says. “Why? Because it’s full of crap just like you, John.”

The new name comes after a recent episode of HBO’s “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” in which he explored the racial disparities in the jury selection process, citing problems in a few Connecticut towns.

In the segment, Oliver noted Danbury’s “charming railway museum” and its “historic Hearthstone Castle.”

“I know exactly three things about Danbury,” he said. “USA Today ranked it the second-best city to live in in 2015, it was once the center of the American hat industry and if you’re from there, you have a standing invite to come get a thrashing from John Oliver — children included — (expletive) you.”

It wasn’t exactly clear what prompted Oliver to go off on Danbury. A message seeking comment was left for his agent Sunday.

Oliver also made fun of Boughton and other American mayors in 2017 over videos they made seeking to attract Ama-zon’s second world headquar-ters. In his video, Boughton asks

Alexa where the best place for the facility would be, and Alexa says Danbury.

In Boughton’s new video, he also mentions that Amazon has decided to open a distribution fa-cility in Danbury, although it’s not the second world headquarters.

“And, oh by the way, thanks for showing that Amazon video,” Boughton says to Oliver at the end of the video. “We did get Amazon here in Danbury.”

Former ‘Glee’ star Lea Michele gives birth to baby boy

LOS ANGELES — Lea Mi-chele is a mom of a baby boy.

A representative for Michele said Sunday that the for-mer “Glee” star gave birth to her son on Aug. 20. She and her hus-band Zandy Reich wel-comed their

first child together. Michele announced her preg-

nancy on Instagram in May. The actress-singer shared a photo of her baby bump with the caption “So grateful.”

The couple married last year.

WATERSContinued from Page A1

MADISON PENSINGER/Special to the ChronicleAspiring marine biologist Madison Pensinger of Inverness, a Citrus High School graduate and College of Central Florida freshman, captured the colorful hues of the Hunter Springs vent opening with her underwater camera to take Third Place in the 2019 Save Our Waters Week (SOWW) photo contest.

VISIONContinued from Page A1

Frink said Charlie’s management was concerned with how the Riverwalk would impact business operations, like unloading seafood.

As a result of its agreement with the city, Charlie’s would have special use to put up a mobile food trailer, Frink said.

Even with its $1.7 million funding source from Citrus County’s share of the RESTORE Act intact, thanks to Charlie’s signature, the city is still $1.6 million shy of constructing the remaining sections of its Riverwalk.

City officials will still be able to re-sume their handful of permitting appli-cations, which were halted because the affected property owners — from Crack-er’s Bar & Grill to The Crab Plant — hadn’t yet supported the project’s waterward builds.

Frink said the permitting process, which includes a seagrass study, will take at least six months.

If permits are approved and the fund-ing gap is filled fast, Frink said, ground on the Riverwalk boardwalk could break in the summer of 2021.

City manager to update council on commercial paddlecraft move to

Kings Bay ParkFrink will let council know how the

first full week of mandated commercial paddlecraft launches went at Kings Bay Park.

Since Aug. 17, permitted businesses renting out kayaks and paddle boards have had to disembark their customers from the city park at the end of North-west Third Street.

City officials OK’d the move to help ease vessel congestion on local waters and at the popular Hunter Springs Park.

Frink told the editorial board recent rains have slowed launches at Kings Bay Park, but the weekend might put the measure to the test.

By October’s end, the city will start col-lecting paddlecraft launch fees and also rent for businesses to lease equipment corrals at the park.

These payments will help fund future park improvements and staffing to better monitor launches and educate paddlers.

Mayor to bring attention to two blighted businesses

along main highwayMeek plans to bring council’s attention

toward a pair of separate but unsightly and vacant businesses along U.S. 19, the Crystal Square Shopping Mall and the adjacent former Village Inn.

Meek told the editorial board he will ask City Attorney Robert Batsel Jr. to re-search options on how those lots could be pressured into revitalization.

“The properties look absolutely horri-ble, and I want to make in we do every-thing we can to change how that place looks and cause some movement on it,” he said. “The people there could care less, they’re insulting us every day and we need to make it an issue.”

Also on council’s agenda� An update from Frink on COVID-19’s

impacts to the city.� A discussion on whether to contrib-

ute $50,000 toward the Hernando/Citrus Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), of which Crystal River is a mem-ber to participate in state-planned infra-structure projects for local areas.

MPO officials are requesting $50,000 from each of its members for an addi-tional $250,000 to help fund the organiza-tion’s expenses, originally paid for by Hernando County.

school,” Blair said, “and this is how this happened.”

Around 11,000 of the roughly 16,000 district students began their first day of the 2020-21 aca-demic year Thursday, Aug. 20, at brick-and-mortar schools while around 4,000 students started their school online via Citrus Virtual.

Blair said she’s unaware of an-other school in the district re-sponding to COVID-19 on its campus.

Through it’s investigations, the DOH recommended on Saturday a 14-day quarantine was needed for those who were in contact with the high school student, but the agency has yet to tell the school district whether the test result was positive, Blair said.

“That confirmation is having to come from health department from where (the student) got tested,” Blair said, explaining the student’s test could’ve occurred outside of Citrus County or by an agency other than the DOH.

It can take longer for test re-sults from private or out-of-county labs to reach the DOH, health department officials have said.

DOH spokeswoman Audrey Stasko said Sunday the health de-partment is not able to comment on ongoing epidemiological

investigations, which are, per state law, exempt from public record.

On Saturday, after identifying those in proximity with the stu-dent, the DOH contacted the im-pacted students and asked them to remain home for two weeks, Blair said.

Those students will continue schooling using the district’s on-line learning management plat-form, Canvas.

Blair said no teachers or school staff were on the DOH’s list to quarantine.

“If you’re contacted,” Blair said, “that means you’re part of the investigation.”

It wasn’t until after the DOH finished calling the exposed stu-dents that Tuggle was allowed on Sunday to let staff schoolwide know about what happened.

“All parties who had close con-tact with the child have been no-tified,” Tuggle wrote in her message. “Thank you for your un-derstanding as we work through this first case. Please know we are mandated to follow strict pro-tocols and to follow the steps, guidelines, and communication steps provided by the health de-partment and students services.”

According to the Florida De-partment of Health, as of Sunday, people between the ages of 5 and 14 made up 69 or 3.5% of the 1,969 COVID-19 cases reported in Citrus County; people ages 15 thru 24 accounted for 258 or 13% of total cases.

CASEContinued from Page A1Helping those in need

Special to the Chronicle

The Community Food Bank of Citrus County (CFBCC) partnered with the Solid Rock Chris-tian Academy (SRCA) to help prepare for the upcoming school year by providing several cases of granola bars to fill their food closets. Teachers at SRCA maintain these food closets to provide snacks and other food items to stu-dents in need.

According to Barbara Sprague, CFBCC exec-utive director, a teacher at SRCA contacted her asking how the CFBCC could assist them with ensuring each child has enough food while in their care.

“Many of the children who attend SRCA are from low-income families who live below the poverty level,” Sprague said. “Although they are able to attend SRCA thanks to scholarship money, many of these children are food inse-cure. Our partner agency, Citrus County Bless-ings, provides much support by providing children with weekend food. The SRCA was in need of additional support to ensure none of the children go hungry throughout the week.”

The CFBCC acquired the granola bars from Feeding Tampa Bay and Publix. They will be distributed for teachers to include in their food closets.

“We are able to do this thanks to the support of individuals, organizations and businesses such as Feeding Tampa Bay and Publix who generously support our mission of ending hun-ger and nourishing hope,” Sprague said.

If you are in need of food assistance, please visit www.feedcitrus.org and click “Find Help.”

community, please visit www.feedcitrus.org to make a donation online or mail a check to Com-munity Food Bank of Citrus County — 5259 W Cardinal Street Building B, Homosassa, FL 34446.

The woman was air-lifted to an area hospital in critical condition.

Following the initial crash, an SUV, driven by a 53-year-old Crystal River woman, was traveling southbound on US-19 and the driver failed to ob-serve the two crashed ve-hicles in the dark and collided head-on with the pick-up truck. The driver of the third vehicle was not injured, but a 33-year-old Crystal River woman had minor injuries, ac-cording to the FHP report.

Southbound lanes on U.S. 19 were closed for more than four hours Sun-day as first responders worked to clear the scene, diverting southbound traf-fic through a nearby resi-dential neighborhood.

Due to Marsy’s Law, the FHP is not releasing the names of the victims.

WENDY VICTORIANorthwest Florida Daily News

SANTA ROSA BEACH — Growing up along the New Jer-sey coast, Danny Margagliano was either in the water or riding a wave as often as possible.

He surfed competitively as a child, a teen and an adult, and turned professional after high school. Last year he was in-ducted into the New Jersey Surfing Hall of Fame.

These days, however, Mar-gagliano spends his days working his successful real estate com-pany from a wheelchair adapted to support his damaged body.

He is in pain 24 hours a day from parts of his body that he can feel, but can’t move. That pain has been a constant ever since he dove into the water near Norriego Point from a 12-foot-tower on a boat.

“If I jumped instead of dove I would not be paralyzed,” the Santa Rosa Beach Realtor said last week from his home office. “People were doing it one after another for a couple of hours. It

was a bad choice. I’ve got to live with the consequences and it’s OK.”

But when others make the same choice, and pay a price even more costly, he grieves for them. And he wishes more could be done to prevent accidents like those. There have been two so far this summer.

On July 8, 40-year-old Craig Hanrahan dove off a boat at Crab Island into 2-3 feet of water. His head hit the sandy bottom, breaking his cervical spine and killing him, according to infor-mation from the Okaloosa County Sheriff ’s Office.

On June 27, Travis Forbes, a 44-year-old Georgia man, was critically injured in an almost identical accident at Crab Is-land. Michele Nicholson, spokeswoman for the Sheriff ’s Office, said she has not been able to determine his fate.

“These tragedies are espe-cially tough to handle because they are preventable,” Nichol-son said. “The advice ‘Feet First’ is simple and straightforward, but as we’ve seen this summer,

following that advice can be a matter of life or death in some instances.

“The bottom line is we urge everyone to avoid diving off a boat or into any body of water where you don’t know with abso-lute certainty that the water is deep enough to avoid injury or death,” she added.

It’s been eight years since Margagliano, then a 37-year-old South Walton Fire District fire-fighter and paramedic, was out on a boat with family members and some of his friends from the department.

He remembers the moment he realized he was paralyzed with perfect clarity, although he doesn’t remember hitting the bottom and didn’t even have a scratch on him to mark a point of impact.

“I was laying facedown in the water,” he said. “It was such an eerie feeling. I felt this stillness like you never feel. I never felt such a thing before. I was just still. Everything slowed down.

“I could hear everyone talking or playing above me,” he added.

“’He’s just looking for his sun-glasses. He’s just messing around.’ I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m gonna drown.’ “

Then someone grabbed him and brought him to the surface.

“I’m paralyzed,” Margagliano he told his rescuer.

“No, you’re OK,” he was told. “No, I’m like paralyzed,” he

insisted. His friends, all Fire District

co-workers, immediately stabi-lized his spine.

“That saved my life and kept me from being worse than I am,” he said.

The official diagnosis is in-complete spinal cord injury, meaning Margagliano can feel everything from his chest down but can’t move it. That’s where the intense and constant pain comes from.

After the accident, he spent a month in the hospital and three months at an Atlanta rehabilita-tion center before he returned to Walton County.

Within six months, he was working part-time as a Realtor. Within a year, he was back at it

full-time. “My saving grace was I had my

real estate license to fall back on,” he said. “I thought for a while that I was going to be able to still get better and be a fire-fighter again. Reality set in.

There are times when he gets anxious, when he just wants to get up and do things. He misses surfing tremendously.

Now 45, Margagliano still loves the water but needs assis-tance to even be in a backyard pool. He said he feels like he’s swimming laps. His wife, Mi-chelle, teasingly reports that she’s pushing him.

Water is his first love, she said. Although Margagliano was a

competitive swimmer from the age of 6 until about 13, he said he wishes diving wasn’t even taught to children.

He would also like to see signs posted at places like Crab Is-land, although he knows most boaters and swimmers wouldn’t even see them.

“So much paralysis could be avoided if people would just jump instead of dive,” he said.

Man paralyzed in accident urges others to jump, not dive

OPINIONPage A8 - MONDAY, AUGUST 24, 2020

Thanks for voting in the primary

I’d like to thank everyone who came out and voted in the primary election. We had a large number of candidates this year, and the people made their votes count. I also would like to take this opportunity to apologize for the negativity in the sheriff ’s race. If you re-member four years ago, we did not have this mudslinging. We respect everyone and run on education, qualifications and experience. Mike and I chose not to stoop to that level and spread rumored informa-tion we were given. We chose to run this campaign just like we did four years ago. Mike has done what he said he would to to keep our commu-nity safe. After Sheriff Jeff Dawsy was in office for 20 years, you can’t change things overnight. We all know you can’t make everyone happy. Social distancing put in place during this pandemic has made life challenging in more ways than one. We hope things improve soon, so we can continue to support our community and charities in person. Again thank you so much for your support and thank you Gerry Mulligan for recognizing me as being a nice person. I truly appreciate it.

Finally, a very heartfelt thank you for the men and women of the CCSO. They are best extended family you could ever have. Please show them your support every day as their life is not easy.

One other thing, if one of the new county commission-ers or supervisor of elections could take on the sign issue. There’s not a good reason for the candidate to have a sign up a year or two before the

election. Three months would be plenty and I’m sure our citizens would truly appreci-ated it.

Thanks to all of you and please be patient as we get through this social distancing. Bless all of you.

Democrats will not compromise

In his letter “The problem with Republicans,” Frank Lovell suggests we “contact these Republicans and de-mand they take a position and restore law and order to America.” Though I agree wholeheartedly law and order should be restored, it appears Mr. Lovell has ig-nored those in charge of the vast majority of the high crime areas in this country.

Eighteen of the top 20 cities with the highest crime rates in this country are led my Democrats, two by nonparti-san leaders. In order to quell the rioting, looting and crime in general, should we not de-mand elected officials from both parties uphold the laws of this country? No one can place all the blame on Demo-crats, but if we just observe what we read in the papers or

see on television, it is obvious that Democrat governors and mayors are aiding and abet-ting unlawful behavior. Ore-gon and Washington are routinely mentioned in the news as having leaders block-ing or attempting to block po-lice officers and federal law enforcement from performing their duties. California and New York have a similar history.

Yes, we need — and I be-lieve the majority of our pop-ulation wants — the rioting and looting to stop, but one party can not do it alone. Fi-nally, this is not a racial ques-tion. We all — or most of us — want peace in our cities, yet too many leaders of just one party seem to be fanning the flames of unrest. It is said that all politics is the art of compromise. Compromise is necessary whenever one party or the other does not control both houses of Con-gress and the presidency.

You’ve seen our president call for an end to the chaos in our cities, seen him call out the leaders of the worst cities and states, yet he is damned by the likes of Pelosi, Shumer and the leaders of the Demo-crats. They will not compro-mise. I suggest that the only way Republicans can correct the madness and the sense-less rioting is to win a major-ity in both houses of Congress and retain the presidency. Until that happens, Mr. Lovell, I suggest you make your demands of those aiding and abetting the violence, the Democrats in charge of the majority of our crime-ridden cities and states.

CRYSTAL RIVER

Riverwalk is finally

ready to goThe Crystal River Riv-

erwalk is finally ready to move forward.

The good news reported last week is that the final property owner has signed all the legal doc-uments and the long-awaited Riv-erwalk project will finally move ahead.

The Riverwalk is a board-walk along the downtown commercial section of King’s Bay that will be built along the water’s edge. The private property owners along the bay had to agree to the city plans before work could proceed.

This was no easy task. The Riverwalk has been talked about for three decades as a top community priority. The land section of the project has already been con-structed, but final approval on the water section was hard to nail down. Attorneys and property owners have been haggling for years over the final details. Last week, Phil Kofmehl, the owner of Charlie’s Fish House, signed the final documents for his property and that completes the effort.

Now the city can officially seek federal permits from the Army Corps of Engineers and others so the construc-tion work can begin.

City Manager Ken Frink and Mayor Joe Meek deserve much of the credit for negoti-ating with the property own-ers and getting the final signatures. Carol Kim-brough, the owner of Spe-cialty Gems and the longtime leader and member of Main Street, worked diligently with the city to help win sup-port. Two previous city man-agers — Dave Burnell and Andy Houston — put a lot of sweat equity into the River-walk in previous years.

While there is plenty of

good news on Riverwalk, there is also some additional financial burdens that have

become clear on the long-delayed construction ef-fort. Costs esti-mates have gone up.

Even with the $1.7 million come f r o m t h e

RESTORE ACT (BP oil spill settlement) and $750,000 from CRA accounts, the project is short on the dollars needed to finish.

A $2 million funding re-quest was rolling through the Florida Legislature ear-lier this year until the COVID-19 pandemic de-railed the state’s revenue projections. The Riverwalk funding was cut to $200,000 and then Gov. Ron DeSantis vetoed that.

City officials have decided to proceed with permitting the entire project and start-ing construction on the first phase of the waterfront Riv-erwalk. At the same time, they will renew the search for the additional funding for the construction project. Another $1.6 million will be needed to completely finish the project.

The Riverwalk will be an incredible asset to Crystal River as it ties the proper-ties along the bay front to the historic downtown district. Visitors will be able to park in one location and walk through both the Main Street district and stroll along King’s Bay. An entertain-ment and shopping district will grow and thrive.

The increased cost of the project should create a sense of urgency. The longer the final construction is delayed, the higher the costs will rise.

Thirty years is a long time to achieve a community goal — but the finish line is fi-nally in sight. Nice job to those who took the lead.

E D I T O R I A L B O A R DGerry Mulligan .......................................... publisherMike Arnold .....................................................editorCurt Ebitz ........................................citizen memberMac Harris .......................................citizen memberRebecca Martin ..............................citizen memberJeff Bryan ............................ managing editor, newsSarah Gatling ...............managing editor, copy deskGwen Bittner ................................community editor

The opinions expressed in Chronicle editorials are the opinions of the newspaper’s editorial board.

� Yesterday, I was shopping in (a grocery store). As I ap-proached the meat counter, I saw a man with a mustache and a short beard looking over the meat. I stood at least 10 feet away from him. I was wearing a mask; he wasn’t. This man proceeded to pick up and put back many packages of meat. He also continually touched his mouth, beard and face. I did not say anything to him, but quickly walked away. This was not a young person. He was a senior citizen. Please enforce your mask-wearing pol-icy as you would your “No shoes, no shirt, no service” policy.

� I have been getting the newspaper and listening to the news about this COVID-19 and all you hear is the negative is-sues always telling about new cases. Why cannot we hear about the cases that were tested positive and have recu-perated instead of all the negatives?

� So some stores are not en-forcing mask rules. Look, here’s the bottom line: If you want to wear your mask, wear your mask. If you don’t want to wear a mask, don’t wear a mask. But if you feel that there’s too many people in there that don’t have masks on and that makes you feel that uncomfortable — whether it’s a restaurant or a gas station or a store — then don’t go in there. Then try to look for a different hour when you’re comfortable wearing your mask and quit worrying about people not wearing

masks. That’s their choice if they don’t want to wear them.

� Well, for the first time in a long time, the cases of the coronavirus are slightly de-creasing in our state. Is it possi-ble it’s because last week the major retailers required masks in their stores? That policy lasted almost five days until the crazies screamed and cried enough that now they’re al-lowed to go in the stores with-out their masks. Be interesting to see what happens next week.

� Again, the story in Mon-day’s paper (July 27, 2020, front page) about restrictions on children under 12 not being able to get tested for COVID-19, is again proof that Florida hates children. It will not fund schools properly, it does not pay teachers properly, and it provides no help for students when they need help. And in COVID-19, the students need help, the teachers need help, the parents need help, but, guess what? All the politicians are getting tested as often as they can, but our children? No way. Every restriction, every limit is put on our children’s health, safety and education — every one. It seems that our state hates children. We’ve seen it before, we’ve seen it again and now with COVID-19, it’s writ large right on our foreheads.

� I’m calling Sound Off in ref-erence to (the July 28, 2020, front-page story), “Citrus COVID cases increase by 247 in the past week.” OK, if it increased by 247 people, how many people

total were tested and what was the negative results?

� This is Tuesday, July 28, and looking in the paper this morn-ing, it’s all virus, virus, virus. Ev-erybody’s concerned about the spike in cases. On May 6, the racetrack opened up, packed elbow-to-elbow-to-elbow-to-elbow in every bleacher. Gee, that’s so-cial distancing at its finest. And it’s open every Saturday, same exact process. Then, of course, our fearless governor decides that it’s time to open up restau-rants. OK, the restaurants, from what I’ve seen, are observing the distancing. However, some have servers wearing masks and oth-ers have no servers wearing masks or anything else. Those I avoid. ... Then, of course, we have the local joints, the bars. Maybe our governor should take a look at what the bars look like. Then, of course, our wonderful, wonderful governor and leaders — if you can call them that — all decide we need the tourists. Bring in the tourists. Open the scallop season. Does anybody ever consider the madhouse at the ramps? On top of that, these people are coming in from God knows where. They’re coming from out of state, for crying out loud, to go scalloping. There are things that could have been done to slow this down, but every one of them was disregarded for the sake of the almighty green dol-lar. ... Our leaders have failed us horribly and miserably. There is absolutely no leadership in this pandemic ... and we need it des-perately. All of you, stay safe please.

Citrus Springs roads are terrible

I’m glad I’m here and not in a funeral parlor because I almost got cremated coming off of Elk-cam onto Tracy Court. Tracy Court is so bad, that road. And coming off of it, off of Elkcam to get onto Tracy Court, you’re hitting all kinds of ruts and patches and all that stuff. I got a brand-new car and I don’t want my car to go to hell trying to get off of Elkcam. The whole road is bad and now it’s a cul-de-sac. People are going down to the end of it and dumping things

and nobody comes and checks what they’re dumping. Some-body dumped a big tree right in the middle of the road. ... I al-most got hit last night. I could see this truck coming and he was coming so fast. I had my signal light on and I thought, “Oh, God, please let him slow down.” Well, he wasn’t slowing down, so I just had to step on the gas and come into this road and it did damage to my car. I don’t know, but please, please get it paved.

Get the road construction finishedI think it’s time that we quit

beating around the bush and avoiding the inevitable. Hurricane season is here and it looks like it’s going to be a strong one. A di-saster could happen if people had to use the roads that we have at this point in time for evacuation. I think every road that’s under construction, the peo-

ple that are doing it should get

together with the powers that be — if there is such a thing — and they should all sit down and dis-cuss a deadline or a time to complete the construction. After that agreement time, if it is not completed, then I think there should be a heavy fine for every single day beyond that comple-tion date that it is not done. If we don’t do something like that and if we just keep dragging our feet, then we are the laughing-stock of the world.

No one pays attention to signs

I want to comment on the

one-way signs in all these super-markets. It’s ridiculous, for one. ... Secondly, if you’re really going to have these stupid things, have you ever realized that no one is looking down at the floor to see which way you’re going? You’re too busy looking up to see the signs and what aisle your item’s in. I’m looking up, not looking down as I’m going. … If you are going to have it, thirdly, then if you want people to see them, put them up where the signs are for your items that you’re looking at. ... So think about that. Have a good day, everybody, and stay safe.

LETTERS to the EditorRebuilding after the pandemicSo the president has said we are at war.

Yes, he said that, well OK let’s consider what a real wartime president would do when pre-sented with the current crisis. He would have brought the full authority of the govern-ment into play. That would have meant all medical supplies, ventilators, testing equip-ment would have been supplied by the gov-ernment. We would have been closed down until there were 14 days of reduced virus pa-tients and deaths. And the government would have made sure all workers, home-owners, renters and businesses were made whole from the very start of this pandemic, instead of just the wealthy corporations and their owners.

The last time the country was in this much trouble was during the Great Depression and World War II. We lost 500,000 men and women in that war. In the current COVID-19, we have lost over 150,000 in four months. It is very possible that in another eights months we will have lost almost as many killed as in World War II. We are now in the beginning of the worst economic decline since then, and the president and his wealthy advisors have no idea how to respond except to throw up their hands and leave Washington, instead of passing a stimulus package which would in-clude a new round of unemployment payments.

This is what a leader would do: He or she would tell the wealthy corporate leaders that making money off this pandemic is over. That’s exactly what FDR did at the outset of the World War II so no one should use the war as an opportunity to get rich. Let’s do what FDR did, which was to ask the nation to do their patriotic duty and increase taxes to 94% on income over $200,000, which is the equivalent of $2,868,625 in todays’ dollars.

In 2021, we are going to need the equiva-lent of the Marshall Plan. After the second World War we rebuilt Japan and Europe, and established the GI Bill to help returning American soldiers.

The total cost of the war and rebuilding the country was about $8 trillion. After all this debt, the increased taxes on the wealthy paid it all off in about four years. We will need that same kind of commitment from our corporate leaders to help our families get back on their feet.

Our nation works just fineAfter a frequent letter writer expressed an-

other despicable attack on President Trump, this motivated me to respond. This armchair general of military and government misinfor-mation could use a military tutorial. Did he really expect the president to counter the lib-eral media accusations about bounties on se-lect soldiers’ heads? I thought all combat soldiers have a bounty on their head. I call it a war, where everyone is fair game.

The writer alleged those who wrote letters of President Trump support should be shamed, that Secretary Clinton testified for 11 hours and wasn’t charged with a crime. News flash, John Durham, U.S. attorney, is still gathering well-obscured Democratic coverup evidence. A grand jury must first hear testimony and see evidence of crime beyond a reasonable doubt. It’s been an enormous task and search, lots of players and at times beyond our borders. Patience.

Where’s the Democratic outrage with BLM and Antifa? At a Senate hearing last week not one Democrat could bring themselves to condemn the anarchist, rioters, looters (inner-city, guerrilla warfare). The main-stream media calls it peaceful protesters, whom are like a nightmare, political provo-cateurs of turbulence, fear and destruction.

Where’s the Democratic outrage for pro-testors demonizing the police, federal agents, EMT workers and firefighters? Inno-cent people have forever been terrorized, burned, looted, children shot, monuments torn down or covered in vulgar graffiti. The rioters attacked our churches, homes, busi-ness, police stations, statues and federal buildings. Shame on the Democrats for look-ing the other way.

The writer refers to Putin as a Trump ally. Putin collusion accusations have been dis-missed at great taxpayer expense, ending with the FBI and CIA admitting they were false. There was no Russia collusion, get over it.

This very same writer proposes to start over with a new world order. It’s not his choice, this nation is mine too. At 80 years old, I am distressed, and what are these peo-ple thinking? Why would anyone believe these rioters know how to run a world?

I think our nation works just fine and has for over 200 years, not perfect, but better than anywhere else I know.

Sound OFFA great bipartisan

step from the county(Re the July 29, 2020, front-

page story, “County: Emergency management belongs with us,” “Board drafting notice to sher-iff.”) I was delighted to read that a majority of our county commis-sioners voted to take back emer-gency management from the sheriff’s department. This is what “defunding” the police is all about; not totally getting rid of all law enforcement, as many are saying, but taking away some of the duties they are currently doing — often not well — and putting those responsibilities under the aegis of others. This might also include the 911 cen-ter, animal control, school safety, medication collection and dis-posal, and more. These things would not stop; they would just be done better. I never thought that I would agree with Commis-sioners Carnahan or Kitchen, but America’s police departments and our own county sheriff’s de-partment are out of control, overly powerful and need to be transformed. This is a great bi-partisan first step.

Irritated with irrigation schedule

I just received the summer edi-tion of “The Link” from the county commissioners. In it, it says that now I’m supposed to ir-rigate once a week, which I had someone come to the house and change it from two days to one day. And now it’s telling me that I’m supposed to irrigate on Mon-day, so now I’m going to have to have someone else come to the house to reprogram the irriga-tion. Is this the last change that’s going to be made? This gets a lit-tle expensive. What about my neighbors who are gone for six months at a time? How does this apply to them? There’s no way to get in their house to make any changes. I don’t think that the

county commissioners have thought this through.

Keep the teachers, school staff safe

Today is Thursday, July 30. I was reading the paper today on (Page A10) the “Florida school district no one-size-fits-all.” That’s really amazing how they only talked about the kids catch-ing it and bringing it home. What about the teachers, the staff, paraprofessionals and janitors? However you want to say it, they could bring it home to their fami-lies, too. So that editorial should have been revamped a little bit and it should have also men-tioned our wonderful teachers. Let’s not get them sick, too. God bless. Have a nice day.

Anonymous code enforcement reportingI’ve been seeing a lot in the

paper about keeping Citrus County beautiful. Well, one thing you need to change is that when you report a property to Code En-forcement, people do not report them because Code Enforcement gives out the name of the person that’s calling and then (there can be) retribution. People in the neighborhoods would love to call Code Enforcement to report trash, cars and problems in the neighborhood with neighbors and their property. But the problem is Code Enforcement itself because they will release to the person or the property owner that a call’s being called in again to the caller and say, “Well, this is who called.” And then there’s another problem: The caller is harassed by the person or properties they called Code Enforcement about. This should remain anonymous. I think it’s ridiculous the way Citrus County runs their Code En-forcement. No wonder the roads look terrible and some of the properties look terrible, because people will not call.

CITRUS COUNTY CHRONICLE

Winds could fan Northern

California firesSAN FRANCISCO — A

calm overnight allowed fire-fighters to make progress against a trio of massive wildfires burning in Northern California but they were gird-ing for a weather system Sunday that will bring high winds and thunderstorms that could spark new fires and fan existing blazes that destroyed nearly 1,000 homes and other structures and forced tens of thou-sands to evacuate.

The “complexes,” or groups of fires, burning on all sides of the San Francisco Bay Area were started by lightning strikes that were among 12,000 registered in the state in the past week. The National Weather Ser-vice issued a “red flag” warn-ing through Monday afternoon for the drought-stricken area, meaning ex-treme fire conditions including high temperatures, low humidity and wind gusts up to 65 mph that “may re-sult in dangerous and unpre-dictable fire behavior.”

At a morning briefing on the so-called CZU Lightning Complex fire in the Santa Cruz Mountains south of San Francisco, fire officials said they had increased con-tainment to 8% and with the better weather on Saturday dug more protective fire lines around vulnerable communi-ties, including the University of California, Santa Cruz.

Netanyahu compromises, avoids electionJERUSALEM — Israeli

Prime Minister Benjamin Ne-tanyahu announced Sunday that he had accepted a pro-posal to extend budget ne-gotiations, preventing the government from collapsing and plunging the country into a new election.

In a nationally televised address, Netanyahu said that now was not the time to drag the country into a fourth parliamentary elections in less than two years.

“Now is the time for unity. Not for elections,” he said.

Netanyahu and his rival and coalition partner, Benny Gantz, had faced a Monday night deadline to agree on a budget. Otherwise, the gov-ernment would have col-lapsed and automatically triggered a new vote.

Iran finds data, cockpit talk from

Ukraine planeTEHRAN, Iran — Iran has

retrieved some data, includ-ing a portion of the cockpit conversations, from the Ukrainian jetliner that was accidentally downed by the Revolutionary Guard forces in January, killing all 176 people on board, an Ira-nian official said Sunday.

That’s according to a re-port on the website of Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization, which described the official’s remarks as part of the final report that Tehran plans to issue on the shootdown of Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752.

The development comes months after the Jan. 8 crash near Tehran. Iranian authori-ties had initially denied re-sponsibility, only changing course days later, after West-ern nations presented exten-sive evidence that Iran had shot down the plane.

The shootdown happened the same night Iran launched a ballistic missile attack tar-geting U.S. soldiers in Iraq, its response to the American drone strike that killed Guard Gen. Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad on Jan. 3.

At the time, Iranian troops were bracing for a U.S. counterstrike and appeared to have mistaken the plane for a missile. Iran, however,

has not acknowledges that, only saying that after the missile attack, its air defense was sufficiently alert and had allowed previously sched-uled air traffic to resume — a reference to the Ukrainian plane being allowed to take off from Tehran amid such an unprecedented crisis.

Six dead, 10 missing as

flood hits TurkeyANKARA, Turkey —

Flooding caused by heavy rains has killed six people along Turkey’s Black Sea coast and left 10 others missing, including some res-cue workers, officials said Sunday.

Television footage showed vehicles and debris being swept away by floods on the main road of the mountain town of Dereli, which lies 12 miles inland from the Black Sea in Giresun province. Bridges, roads and buildings were washed away by what Agriculture and Forestry Min-ister Bekir Pakdemirli said was more than five inches of rain in less than a day.

“This is the first time I’ve seen such a natural disas-ter,” Pakdemirli said from Dereli. “The town’s skyline has changed.”

Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu, who traveled to Gire-sun to oversee rescue ef-forts, said 153 people had been rescued from the floods. He said 98 villages in the region were cut off and 38 were without electricity. About 20 people were stranded in a wedding hall in Dereli.

Two of the dead were po-lice officers whose vehicle was swept away by the floods. Three of their col-leagues and the operator of a mechanical digger are among the missing. Their vehicles fell into a ravine when a main road collapsed as they traveled to the disas-ter area.

Across the province, 17 buildings were destroyed and more than 360 were damaged, officials said.

SKorea elevates distancing as

virus numbers riseSEOUL, South Korea —

Churches were closed and professional baseball games were played in empty stadi-ums on Sunday as South Korea stepped up measures nationwide to fight a resur-gence in coronavirus cases that has raised concerns that the epidemic is getting out of control.

The 397 new cases re-ported by South Korea’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or the KCDC, marked the 10th straight day of triple-digit in-creases and indicated that the speed of the virus’s spread was nearing levels seen during the worst of the outbreak in the spring.

The resurgence, which began in the densely popu-lated Seoul area before reaching practically every major city and provincial town over the past week, is a major setback for a coun-try that had been eager to tout its hard-won gains against the virus.

After avoiding stringent social distancing measures because of concerns about hurting the economy, officials stepped up restrictions na-tionwide on Sunday.

They banned gatherings of more than 50 people in-doors and 100 people out-doors and shut nightclubs, karaoke rooms, buffet restaurants and computer- gaming cafes.

Churches can hold online services only, while fans were removed from profes-sional sports, just weeks after baseball and soccer teams had been allowed to sell limited portions of their seats.

Storms head to Gulf CoastResidents flee hurricanes

REBECCA SANTANA, JEFF MARTIN AND SETH BORENSTEIN

Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — The Gulf Coast braced Sunday for a potentially devastat-ing hit from twin hurri-canes as two strong storms swirled toward the U.S from the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. Offi-cials feared a history- making onslaught of life-threatening winds and flooding along the coast, stretching from Texas to Alabama.

A storm dubbed Marco grew into a hurricane Sun-day as it churned up the Gulf of Mexico toward Louisiana. Another poten-tial hurricane, Tropical Storm Laura, lashed the Dominican Republic and Haiti, and was tracking to-ward the same region of the U.S. coast, carrying the risk of growing into a far more powerful storm.

Experts said computer models show Laura could make landfall with winds exceeding 110 mph, and the overlapping storms could bring 2 feet of rain to south-central portions of Louisiana.

“There has never been anything we’ve seen like this before, where you can have possibly two hurri-canes hitting within miles of each over a 48-hour pe-riod,” said Benjamin Schott, meteorologist in charge of the National Weather Service’s Slidell, Louisiana, office.

The prospect of piggy-backed hurricanes was re-viving all-too-fresh memories of damage caused by Hurricane Ka-trina, which struck the Gulf Coast on Aug. 29, 2005. The storm has been blamed for as many as 1,800 deaths and levee breaches in New Orleans led to catastrophic flooding.

“What we know is there’s going to be storm surge from Marco, we know that that water is not

going to recede hardly at all before Laura hits, and so we’ve not seen this be-fore and that’s why people need to be paying particu-lar attention,” Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards warned at a Sunday briefing.

Along the main drag on the barrier island of Grand Isle, south of New Orleans, Starfish Restaurant man-ager Nicole Fantiny could see an exodus of people driving off the island.

“They are all packing up and leaving,” she said.

Fantiny wasn’t planning to leave, at least for Marco, but she was anxious about the possible one-two punch from both storms. Her husband works with the town’s fire and police departments, so she said they are always among the last ones to leave.

“My house was built in 1938 so I think we’re good,” she said hopefully.

Marco is expected to dance above and below hurricane status over the next day and a half after hitting the 75 mph-wind mark Sunday afternoon.

“The central Gulf could be really under the gun be-tween Marco and Laura in

back-to-back succession,’’ said Colorado State Uni-versity hurricane re-searcher Phil Klotzbach. “Certainly both of these storms can impact New Orleans significantly. It just remains to be seen if the track for Laura tracks a bit to the west.”

University of Miami hur-ricane researcher Brian McNoldy warned that any-one in New Orleans should be alarmed by the threat. At issue from possi-ble dual hits: whether the levee system can with-stand the stress, he said.

In New Orleans, the city’s aging drainage sys-tem has been a particular point of concern in recent years after an intense 2017 storm flooded streets and raised questions about the system’s viability.

Because the city is sur-rounded by levees and parts are below sea level, rainwater must be pumped out to prevent flooding. Any storm system that sits over the city and dumps rain for extended periods of time, or bands of rain that come in rapid succession, is a cause for concern.

New Orleans resident

Matthew Meloy and two friends loaded a van with cases of bottled water in the parking lot of a New Orleans Walmart Sunday. He said they still have a lot of storm preparations ahead.

“Check the batteries, flashlights, stocking up on food and trying to park the car on the highest point possible we can find,” he said. “I already spent like 40 minutes this morning filling up the tanks in the cars.”

Tourists were strolling through the New Orleans French Quarter under overcast skies as workers boarded up shop windows with plywood. Louisiana corrections officials were evacuating 500 inmates from a jail in Plaquemines Parish, near the coast, to another facility in prepa-ration for the storms.

In Kenner La., just out-side New Orleans, resi-dent P.J. Hahn described checkout lines in a Sam’s Club reaching to the back of the store, while authori-ties said 114 oil and gas producing platforms in the Gulf have been evacuated as the storms churn to-ward the Louisiana coast.

Plasma treatment authorizedTrump questions FDA motivations

JONATHAN LEMIRE AND MIKE STOBBE

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — After express-ing frustration at the slow pace of approval for coronavirus treat-ments, President Donald Trump an-nounced Sunday the emergency authorization of convalescent plasma for COVID-19 patients.

The announcement came after days of White House officials suggest-ing there were politically motivated delays by the Food and Drug Admin-istration in approving a vaccine and therapeutics for the disease that has upended Trump’s reelection chances.

On the eve of the Republican Na-tional Convention, Trump issued the emergency order — it would make it easier for some patients to obtain the treatment — in a news conference Sunday evening, accord-ing to White House officials.

The blood plasma, taken from pa-tients who have recovered from the coronavirus and rich in antibodies, may provide benefits to those bat-tling with the disease. But the evi-dence so far has not been conclusive about whether it works, when to ad-minister it and what dose is needed.

In a letter describing the emer-gency authorization, the chief scien-tist for the FDA, Denise Hinton, noted: “COVID-19 convalescent plasma should not be considered a new standard of care for the treat-ment of patients with COVID-19. Ad-ditional data will be forthcoming from other analyses and ongoing, well-controlled clinical trials in the coming months.”

The White House had grown agi-tated with the pace of the plasma approval, but the accusations of a slowdown, which were presented without evidence, were just the lat-est assault from Trump’s team on the “deep state” bureaucracy. White House chief of staff Mark Meadows did not deal in specifics, but said that “we’ve looked at a number of people that are not being as diligent as they should be in terms of getting to the bottom of it.”

“This president is about cutting red tape,” Meadows said in an inter-view on “This Week” on ABC. “He had to make sure that they felt the heat. If they don’t see the light, they need to feel the heat because the American people are suffering.”

The push on Sunday came a day after Trump tweeted sharp criticism on the process to treat the virus, which has killed more than 175,000 Americans and imperiled his reelec-tion chances. The White House has sunk vast resources into an expe-dited process to develop a vaccine, and Trump aides have been banking

on it being an “October surprise” that could help the president make up ground in the polls.

“The deep state, or whoever, over at the FDA is making it very difficult for drug companies to get people in order to test the vaccines and thera-peutics,” Trump tweeted. “Obvi-ously, they are hoping to delay the answer until after November 3rd. Must focus on speed, and saving lives!”

Earlier this month, Mayo Clinic researchers reported a strong hint that blood plasma from COVID-19 survivors helps other infected pa-tients recover. But it wasn’t consid-ered proof.

More than 70,000 patients in the U.S. have been given convalescent plasma, a century-old approach to fend off flu and measles before vac-cines. It’s a go-to tactic when new diseases come along, and history suggests it works against some, but not all, infections.

There’s no solid evidence yet that it fights the coronavirus and, if so, how best to use it.

Sato wins second Indianapolis 500Race takes place at empty track

Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — At an ee-rily empty Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Takuma Sato snatched a second Indianapolis 500 victory in an odd and unsat-isfying finish to “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.”

Sato held off Scott Dixon and won under caution after team-mate Spencer Pigot crashed with five laps remaining in Sunday’s race, held in front of empty grand-stands for the first time in 104 run-nings because of the pandemic.

Pigot needed medical atten-tion on the track, the crash scene was a massive debris field and the cleanup time would have been lengthy. There were also just four laps left in the race, not enough time to allow for a proper restart.

If it had been a NASCAR race, a stoppage would have been im-mediate to set up a final shootout. IndyCar tends to avoid gimmicks and a late red-flag in the 2014 Indy 500 incensed purists.

Dixon, the five-time IndyCar champion who had dominated the race, asked on his radio if

IndyCar was going to give the drivers a final shootout.

“Are they going red?” Dixon asked. “They’ve got to go red. There’s no way they can clean that up.”

The answer was no, turning the end of the race into a game of what-ifs.

IndyCar said in a statement after the finish “there were too few laps remaining to gather the field behind the pace car, issue a red flag and then restart for a green-flag finish.”

Bruins hold off Bolts 3-2Lightning drop

Game 1 to BostonAssociated Press

TORONTO — Jaroslav Halak stopped 35 shots to win his fourth straight game since starter Tuukka Rask opted out of the playoffs, and the Boston Bruins beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 3-2 to open their second-round series on Sunday night.

Charlie Coyle tipped in Brandon Carlo’s point shot to open the scoring. David Pastrnak and Brad Marchand had a goal and assist apiece for the Bruins, who are suddenly resembling the team that led the NHL with 100 points and 44 wins in the regular season.

The 35-year-old Halak became the Bruins fourth goalie 35 or older to win four or more straight postseason games — and first since Tim Thomas won five in a row in 2009.

Victor Hedman scored for the Light-ning, with both goals coming in the final 11:10 of the game and after Tampa Bay fell behind 3-0. Both goals came on shots from just inside the blue line that tipped in off Boston’s Charlie McAvoy in front.

Tampa Bay goalie Andrei Vasilevs-kiy stopped 28 shots in a game that was supposed to feature a matchup of two of the three Vezina Trophy final-ists before Rask abruptly opted out to be with his family on Aug. 15. Vasilevs-kiy set a franchise record in making his 37th career playoff start, one more than Ben Bishop,

Game 2 of the best-of-seven series being played in Toronto is Tuesday.

The roles were reversed in a

meeting of Atlantic Division rivals and the NHL’s top offensive and de-fensive teams. With 243 goals scored,

Tampa Bay led the league in scoring for a third straight year, while the Bru-ins allowed a league-low 167.

MARK DIDTLER Associated Press

ST. PETERSBURG — Josh Fleming pitched five innings of two-run ball to win his major league debut, and the AL East-leading Tampa Bay Rays beat the To-ronto Blue Jays 5-4 on Sunday.

Fleming is the 11th different starter in 29 games this season for the injury-filled Rays pitching staff.

John Curtiss, the fourth Tampa Bay re-liever, worked 1 2/3 perfect innings to get his first career save.

Toronto starter Trent Thornton left after a scoreless inning with right elbow inflammation.

The Rays took a 3-2 lead in the fifth on an RBI single from pinch hitter José Martínez, Austin Meadows’ sacrifice fly and a run-scoring single by Brandon Lowe off Ryan Borucki (1-1).

Meadows had an RBI single and Ji-Man Choi hit a sacrifice fly to make it 5-2 in the seventh.

Teoscar Hernández and Lourdes Gur-riel Jr. homered for Toronto. Gurriel’s two-run shot in the eighth made it 5-4, but Tampa Bay held on.

Toronto went ahead 2-0 in the fourth when Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit an opposite-field triple and scored on a sin-gle by Travis Shaw.

16 August 23 - 29, 2020 Viewfinder Citrus County (FL) ChroniCLe

When the auction is competitive, and your partnership has a good trump fit but insufficient high-card values for game, you should usually apply the Law of Total Tricks.

You should bid as high as your combined number of trumps. So, with nine trumps between you, take the bidding at least to the three-level.

North chose to limit his hand im-mediately, not respond one heart.

East’s double was responsive. It showed the values to act, but with no clear-cut bid available; typically, no four-card major. South, knowing his partner wouldn’t bid two dia-monds with fewer than four trumps, raised to three diamonds despite holding a minimum opening.

This ended the auction, and then the declarer, Danish international Knut Blakset, justified his bidding with excellent card-reading.

East won the club lead with his king and returned a trump. Would you have finessed or gone up with the ace?

The percentage play was to fi-nesse, but Blakset stopped to work out the distribution of the missing honors.

East was marked with the club ace-king and a high heart honor. (If West held the heart ace-king, he would have led one.) West had to have the other honors to justify his takeout double. So, declarer put up his diamond ace, and West grudg-ingly dropped the king. Blakset claimed, conceding one spade, two hearts and one club.

East could have made life much harder for South if he had won the first trick with the club ace rather than the king.

True, it would have misled West, but that couldn’t have mattered here.

8 p.m. on & *Love Island

Host Arielle Vandenberg and sassy narrator Matthew Hoff-man return for Season 2 of this relationship series, in which a new group of single “Islanders” pursue love, friendships and, with luck, a lasting relationship in a stunning tropical location. After tonight’s two-hour season premiere, the series airs nightly

in one-hour episodes, followed by a two-hour highlights episode each Saturday. Pandemic health constraints are being implement-ed, with regular testing during production and daily screening for COVID-19 symptoms.

8 p.m. on ` SMovie: The King’s Speech

After winning virtually every film award there is as the stammering King George VI, Colin Firth was the unsurprising but hugely deserv-ing recipient of a best actor Oscar for this superb drama, also named best picture. Director Tom Hooper and writer David Seidler received Academy Awards as well for the 2010 film, which also boasts nom-inated performances by Geoffrey Rush as the monarch’s offbeat speech therapist and Helena Bon-ham Carter as George’s wife.

America’s Choice 2020: Republican National

ConventionJake Tapper, Wolf Blitzer, Anderson Cooper and Dana Bash anchor CNN’s coverage of the four-night Republican

National Convention based in Charlotte, N.C., although most U.S. broadcast networks and cable news stations likewise will be reporting on the event. Each night will be built around a single theme, starting tonight with “Land of Heroes” and building to Thursday night’s “Land of Greatness,” when incumbent President Donald J. Trump officially accepts his party’s nomination for another four years in office.

9 p.m. on (HBO)

I May Destroy YouThe full onslaught of Arabella’s (Michaela Coel) memories of the events of Jan. 22 comes flooding back, forcing her to drag the last of her demons out from under the bed once and for all in the Season 1 finale “Ego Death.” In addition to writing and starring, series creator Coel also co-directed this episode. Weruche Opia also stars.

9 p.m. on (HGTV)

Love It or List ItIn the new episode “No Love for the Land,” co-hosts Hilary Farr

and David Visentin work with clients Katherine and Tyler. The former only reluctantly agreed to move into his “well-established” bachelor pad after they got mar-ried. Tyler and their son, Liam, both love their current place because of its location, which is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. Katherine might be able to get on board with that, too, if she didn’t really, really hate the interior of their home quite so much.

10 p.m. on (A&E)

InterventionThe middle child of seven, Coleman wasn’t able to get much attention from his mother, who tried to provide for her large brood while her husband was in prison. Coleman was only 10 when he started experi-menting with alcohol and drugs to cope with his father’s death, and his habit became more severe a few years later when an older brother died of cancer. After a brief period of sobriety, Coleman relapsed when his girl-friend died of an overdose, and he lost custody of his 4-year-old daughter as a result.

Dear Annie: I am a 27-year-old man who needs help. Recently, I

met a guy via the internet. We hit it off and have a lot in com-mon. In addition, he lives in the same state that I do. I’ve seen pictures of him, so I know what he looks like. He even gave me his phone number. I want to call him so we can stay in contact.

T h e problem is that I’m on the s a m e p h o n e plan as my par-ents, and they are the type of people who pre-fer face-t o - f a c e meetings and are wary of meeting people over the internet. How do I get them to understand that not all peo-ple you meet on the internet are bad people? — Different Generation

Dear Different Generation: You are not going to get your parents to change their minds about the internet; and, to be quite honest, their fears have some merit.

There are some really bad people online. At the same time, there are plenty of won-derful individuals who have met their future spouse online. Don’t worry about convincing your parents.

Just live your life and be smart and safe, and consider paying for your own phone plan.

Dear Annie: Last year, on Sept. 5, 2019, to be exact, a reader wrote in about inter-mittent fasting and how it has changed her life.

I discovered fasting after reading her letter to you and have had much success in los-ing weight and staying healthy. I would like to tell “Healthy and Happy” thank you. — Grateful

Dear Grateful: Congratula-tions on your weight loss.

Thank you for your letter, for sharing your success and for giving “Healthy and Happy” a shoutout. I am hopeful that “Healthy and Happy” will read this.

And, in that same vein, I’d like to thank all of my readers who are willing to share their lives — the good, the bad and the ugly — with strangers. You never know the positive mark you can make.

Dear Annie: Due to COVID-19, my siblings and I were not able to see our very elderly mother for more than two months.

When her birthday came around in May, we created “Happy Birthday” signs and taped them to our cars. We then proceeded to do a drive-by parade, while beep-ing our horns and hooting and hollering and waving at her. My siblings’ ages run between 65 and 57 (there are seven of us), and we all have different health issues.

So, this drive-by benefited us all, and we got to see and celebrate our 94-year-old mom #AloneTogether. — Happy with a Parade

Dear Happy with a Parade: Thank you for your letter! What a wonderful way to cele-brate your mom.

You can also do this for chil-dren’s birthday parties, gradu-ations or really any special occasion that you want to enjoy company while celebrat-ing safely.

NBA fines Magic’s Ennis, Bucks’ Williams for fightLAKE BUENA VISTA — Orlando

Magic forward James Ennis and Milwau-kee Bucks forward Marvin Williams were fined $15,000 each by the NBA on Sun-day for a fight that led to their ejections from Game 3 of their teams’ first-round playoff series.

Capitals fire Reirden after 2 postseason letdownsThe Washington Capitals have fired

NFL positive COVID-19 tests could be false

NEW YORK — The NFL revealed Sunday that several positive COVID-19 tests were found a day earlier by one of its testing partners. Among teams report-ing false positives, the Minnesota Vikings said they had 12, the New York Jets 10 and the Chicago Bears nine.

The league has asked the New Jersey lab BioReference to investigate the re-sults “while the clubs work to confirm or rule out the positive tests.” The NFL did not identify the teams or say how many tests altogether were positive.

The Jets canceled a walk-through on Saturday night but had a full practice Sunday morning after the previously pos-itive tests came back negative. The Bears moved their practice scheduled for Sunday morning to the afternoon.

The Detroit Lions had a player with a false positive test from the same lab in New Jersey and he was held out of practice Sunday, a league source told The Associ-ated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the league and team were not disclosing test results.

The Pittsburgh Steelers said they had six false positives and those players will be back at practice Monday. The Phila-delphia Eagles held out four players from working out Sunday. The Cleveland Browns initially canceled their practice, but after re-testing turned up negative tests they decided to have their workout.

Ravens terminate contract of Thomas after fight

The Baltimore Ravens have termi-nated the contract of seven-time Pro Bowl safety Earl Thomas, who got in-volved in a fight with a teammate Friday and did not attend practice Saturday.
