Robison is facing multiple felony charges that revolve around stockpiling child pornography and recording illicit videos with minors online and unsuspecting women in a bathroom.

FDLE updates sex offender registry site

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has unveiled Florida’s updated Sex Offender Registry, im-proving ease of use for citi-zens and making the webpage mobile friendly.

The new look makes it easier for citizens to search for offenders by name, living in neighbor-hoods and on college campuses. Reporters and citizens can also ac-cess Florida sex of-fender laws, safety tips and other state regis-tries. The link to the newly designed registry is: https://offender.fdle.state.fl.us/offender.

Confederate names removed from street signs

HOLLYWOOD — The names of Confederate generals are being re-moved from street signs in one Florida city.

The Hollywood city commission voted in August to remove the names of Robert E. Lee, Nathan Bedford Forrest and John Bell Hood from residential streets.

In a Sun Sentinel re-port, officials said about half the signs have been replaced so far.

The streets were re-named Freedom, Hope and Liberty. Mayor Josh Levy said the new signs display a message that is “a lot better than the mes-sage the prior names were sending.”

Child porn case heads to trialBuster thompson

Staff writer

Chad Robison and his alleged stockpile of child pornography and other illicit images will go in front of jurors in June.

That is unless Robison’s attor-ney, Charles Vaughn, and prosecu-tors find a way to resolve the Hernando man’s 48 felony counts before then.

“If we get a resolution before that, we’ll try to get another date set,” Vaughn told Circuit Court Judge Richard “Ric” Howard during Robison’s court hearing Tuesday, after announcing his 36-year-old client would like to stand trial.

Howard scheduled the former Lecanto church leader’s trial for the week of June 4, with a final pre-trial hearing set for May 29.

Assistant State Attorney Erin Leathers said she expects a week to try Robison.

Robison faces between 30 and 370 years in prison if a jury finds him guilty as charged for having il-legal images and recordings on his laptop of live online sexual en-counters between himself and minors.

He’s also accused of videotaping three women while they used his bathroom.

After Robison’s Tuesday hearing, Vaughn said he believes preparing for trial seems to the best option

State environmental officials are investigating if their private contractor was operating within its permits when it muddied up a decontamination project in Crys-tal River and pumped turbid water into King’s Bay.

The Florida Department of En-vironmental Protection (DEP) on Monday sent a compliance

inspector to Universal Solutions Inc.’s excavation site at the south-west corner of U.S. 19 and the Crosstown Trail, DEP spokes-woman Dee Ann Miller said.

Miller said DEP’s inspector will determine if Universal was lawfully dewatering groundwater from its dig to remove leftover petrol in late March, when murky water was seen being pumped into a nearby canal that leads to Hunters Cove.

“DEP has discontinued work at the site until any needed changes to on-site activities are identified and can be implemented,” Miller said about DEP’s sanitization project, which cost DEP $245,792, mobilized March 19 and was halted March 23, when the turbid water was found.

A spokesperson with Universal could not be reached for com-ment Tuesday.

In an email chain released

Friday, an engineer with Univer-sal said an enclosed spring un-derneath the site ruptured and flooded the hole, causing pumps to discharge dirty water into the canal upstream from King’s Bay.

However, the engineer said the pumped water was filtered be-fore being sent into the canal, and believes no contaminants en-tered the water system.

New security and mental health requirements that school districts across Florida must meet are becoming more concrete.

Gov. Rick Scott laid out a time-line for implementing new school safety and mental health practices in a March 23 letter to Florida’s 67 school district su-perintendents. The list of 10 re-quirements for superintendents includes:

n Designate a district School Safety Specialist by July 1.

n Complete a “security risk assessment” for each public school campus by Aug. 1.

n Submit a plan for providing access for each student to a men-tal health professional at school by Aug. 1.

Also by July 1, districts must determine the number of partic-ipants in the optional Coach Aaron Feis Guardian Program, which provides for arming spe-cially trained school staff

members. Scott notes in the let-ter that after the state receives participation numbers, his of-fice will work with the Depart-ment of Education and the Legislature to “redirect any un-used funding from this program to hire additional school officers.”

Scott’s letter also draws atten-tion to funding reserves held by school districts: “... as of last year, school districts have re-serve funding of more than $2 billion statewide, and a vast majority of districts have re-serves in excess of five percent,” Scott wrote.

The Citrus County School Dis-trict should tap into its reserves to help with new SRO costs,

Call for hospital board audit gains steamFred hiers

Staff writer

The call for an in-depth audit of the Citrus County Hospital Board, its spending, and a de-mand for a comprehensive line item explanation of its finances grew louder this week as more community leaders called for action.

The latest to join the ranks wanting a detailed accounting of the hospital board and its reve-nues and spending is Crystal River City Councilman Mike Gudis, chairman of the Citrus County Community Charitable Foundation.

“If the hospital board wants to clear the air, let them do an audit,” Gudis said, calling for a state or private, independent, third-party audit.

The irony is that the hospital board created the charitable foundation to dole out grant money emanating from the lease of Citrus Memorial Hospital.

Gudis called for an audit to re-view the hospital board’s spend-ing and its decision to hold onto

$8 million from the lease, after Citrus County Chamber of Com-merce President Josh Wooten came to the foundation’s meet-ing Monday night asking for the probe.

Wooten in February asked state lawmakers for an audit as well as disbanding the hospital board.

Wooten is also asking the hos-pital board to provide the public with a comprehensive ledger that in simple, detailed terms explains the board’s revenues and expenses.

The hospital board has re-sponded to Wooten’s public re-cords requests — for a spreadsheet of revenues and ex-penses — that it didn’t have such an accumulation of documents.

“Why do they need the money

they’re still holding onto ...?

Citrus County Sheriff Mike Prendergast said Friday.

“That’s what you use re-serves for — to help with unexpected costs that arise during the course of a school year,” Prender-gast said.

All Florida school dis-tricts are required by law to have 3 percent of their general fund revenue in a reserve account. The Cit-rus district’s reserve fund stood at 3.65 percent of its total general fund reve-nue — $115.5 million — at the end of the 2016-17 fis-cal year.

School board policy re-quires that the fund bal-ance be 3.5 percent of the general fund revenue, ex-ceeding the state require-ment. Maintaining a balance of 3 percent would leave $579,821 available for unexpected expenses or to make up for a shortfall in pre-dicted revenue; keeping the fund at 3.5 percent would leave $410,900 available.

“This is not the only mandate the district has to comply with,” Assis-tant Superintendent Mike Mullen said Tues-day. “We’ll still have to comply with other man-dates, one of which is adding a school safety specialist to the district.

That’ll also come out of that reserve money, as will the school resource officers for the rest of this year.”

“Using reserve funds to fund something isn’t a long-term solution, it’s a temporary solution,” added Assistant Superin-tendent Jonny Bishop. “You can use your savings account one time. This is a recurring expense, and that’s a finite amount of money.”

“It’s not just the school district’s responsibility, I think it’s a joint respon-sibility,” Mullen contin-ued. “School safety is very important, and it should be a community effort to make sure this is put in place.”

The Citrus County Com-munity Charitable Foun-dation on Monday whittled a list of seven grant appli-cants down to three, invit-ing them to move on to the next step of completing a detailed application process.

The total amount the three applicants are ask-ing for is $90,960. The three nonprofits are:

n NAMI Citrus, which is asking for $6,000 to train people to recognize mental health problems and direct those in need to get help. The money would also be

used to increase the num-ber of support programs for adults and caregivers.

n Community Food Bank of Citrus, which is asking for $24,960 to feed 600 county children a week.

n The Pregnancy And Family Life Center in Cit-rus, which is is asking for $60,000 to expand existing services to include behav-ioral health. The nonprofit group will collaborate with Citrus County Drug Court in ushering clients to the center for treatment.

All the applicants had submitted letters of inter-est, which included a brief explanation of their requests.

Denied were:n Kids Central, which

asked for $75,000 to staff and operate a neighbor-hood resource center in Beverly Hills.

The organization does not have an office in Citrus County, which the founda-tion said is a requirement for funding.

n The College of Central Florida asked for $120,000 for two patient simulators. The foundation said it was not clear how Citrus County residents would benefit from the funding.

n Nature Coast Minis-tries asked for $15,000 to help fund free dental care for the poor. The

foundation’s denial cited the organization’s failure to explain specifically how money would be spent.

n Faith Haven Christian Retreat Center asked for $30,000 to help provide mental health services in an equestrian setting. The foundation said it was un-clear who would provide the services or what kind of mental health services would be made available to clients.

This is the foundation’s fourth grant cycle process, which runs from Feb. 26–June 28 when checks are doled out.

The foundation has $160,000 this grant cycle to

give to applicants. Money that is not spent will go to-ward the next grant cycle.

The foundation gets its money from the lease of Cit-rus Memorial Hospital. The hospital is owned on behalf of the public by the Citrus County Hospital Board. It leased the 200-bed facility to health care giant Hospi-tal Corporation of America for $127 million.

Much of that money went to pay off hospital bond debts, pension shortfalls, and other costs. Interest from the remainder is for the charitable foundation to spend on health care pro-grams in the community.

Circuit Judge Richard “Ric” Howard gave Eric Huffman 30 days to decide how to handle accusations that he murdered his ex-girlfriend with a sword.

Huffman’s attorney Ed Spaight told Howard at his client’s Tuesday morning court hearing it should be enough time for him to pre-pare for trial.

Huffman, 42, of Hernando is accused of murder in the April 2017 death of Brandi Blevins.

“If we got one more month we’d have a better sense ... for there are certain tests that have become standard now in death cases,” Spaight told Howard, who set Huffman’s next hearing for May 1, when Huffman is expected to ei-ther choose between going to trial or taking a plea offer.

Spaight said he and prose-cutor Pete Magrino have been discussing plea deals for Huff-man but have been unsuccess-ful in agreeing on one.

Magrino, who filed a notice with the court in May 2017 that he intends to seek the death penalty if Huffman is convicted, said Huffman’s trial would take about a week. If convicted, he faces either death or life in prison.

Authorities with the Citrus County Sheriff ’s Office ar-rested and charged Huffman in April 2017 with the first- degree murder of 42-year-old Blevins and the aggravated assault of a witness.

Huffman is accused of slay-ing Blevins with a sword be-fore he ran over her motionless body with a pickup truck out-side a home off of East Benja-min Street in Hernando.

A witness had to jump out of the way of Huffman’s truck, leading to the aggravated as-sault charge.

During an economic de-velopment workshop Tues-day, resident Chris Lloyd pointedly asked organizers a question: Is the job pic-ture really that bad in Cit-rus County, especially given it had the highest unemployment rate in the entire state in February?

Before the county’s new economic development di-rector, Bruce Register, could even answer, several of the 35 people in the au-dience chimed in: “Yes.”

The simple answer is that Citrus County needs to diversify, Register told the crowd. Citrus, he said, has a tradition of relying on existing industry to cre-ate jobs, and referenced tourism, agriculture and mining. It hasn’t been all

that aggressive about diversifying industry and being more competitive.

That needs to change, he said.

And for two and a half hours at the workshop at Withlacoochee Technical College, organizers and participants iden-tified what is holding back job creation and what can be done about it.

After getting a bird’s-eye view on Citrus County de-mographics, workforce profiles and median sala-ries, Register broke peo-ple into four workgroups. The mission: Identify bar-riers to economic growth and potential solutions.

The groups cited dozens of solutions, most of which were common to all four

lists. What’s needed, they said, are: Clean, green industry; more skilled labor; more health-industry jobs, especially in geriatric medicine and the mental health field; more big-box stores so people don’t have to drive out of

county to shop; more work-force housing; and better restaurants.

Register said he will compile the input and pre-pare a preliminary report. He will take more ideas at a follow-up workshop May 1 and then work on a final plan to give to county commissioners.

The attendees included a broad mix of folks from the business sector, gov-ernment, chamber of

commerce, building trades a n d c o m m u n i t y advocates.

County Commissioner Jeff Kinnard called it time well-spent. When people talk about what Citrus County has to do economi-cally to get “there,” he said, you first have to de-fine what “there” is.

That’s why it’s so vital, he said, for community stakeholders to get to-gether and throw out ideas.

Chuck Kircoaf of Citrus Hills agreed communica-tion is vital before moving forward. The people who attended Tuesday’s work-shop, he said, are the ones who should have been there because they are the ones who can best affect change.

Ruth Schlabach of Le-canto used a story to

illustrate the problem.When her twin daugh-

ters were preparing for prom, Schlabach said she had to travel out of county to get dresses and other items for the big day. There’s a “disconnect,” she said, between what the county views as a driving economic engine (tourism, for example) and what the average res-ident sees.

Birthday — Pick up the slack and get things done. Pay attention to detail, tie up loose ends and take care of finan-cial, legal or medical issues that have been pending for way too long. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Your emotional insight into matters that can help you move forward will come in handy Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Make your point, but don’t go overboard try-ing to convince others to do things your way. Be prepared to move forward on your own if necessary.Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Put your heart on the line and be factual when dealing with others. It won’t pay to ex-aggerate or be misleading. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Get along with your peers and find out more about their likes and dislikes. Having personal knowledge and in-sight will come in handy. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — You will be happiest when taking part in discus-sions that promise to bring about posi-tive change. Before you sign up, make sure you can afford any cost involved. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You’ll face some setbacks when it comes to the changes you want to make at home or to a certain agreement. Pay attention to detail if you want to come out on top.Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Talk over pressing matters with a partner or someone who can make a difference to your income or future earning poten-tial. Honesty will be necessary. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Being open to what’s going on around you will give you a chance to make per-sonal changes. Adjust a relationship to suit your lifestyle.Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Be direct about the way you feel. Don’t let anyone infringe on your personal space or lifestyle. Take ownership of your life and responsibilities. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Don’t feel the need to get involved in some-thing just because someone else is urging you to participate. Size up what’s in it for you before making a commitment. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Get ready to discuss matters that can influ-ence the way you handle your money. A joint venture should be conducted openly. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Some-one won’t be straight with you. If suspi-cion takes hold, make it clear that you need to know the truth.

Today’s HOROSCOPES

Today is Wednesday, April 4, the 94th day of 2018. There are 271 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight:On April 4, 1968, civil rights

leader Martin Luther King Jr., 39, was shot and killed while standing on a balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee; his slaying was followed by a wave of rioting (Washington, D.C., Baltimore and Chicago were among cities particu-larly hard hit). Suspected gunman James Earl Ray later pleaded guilty to assassinating King, then spent the rest of his life claiming he’d been the victim of a setup.

On this date:In 1859, “Dixie” was performed

publicly for the first time by Bryant’s Minstrels at Mechanics’ Hall in New York.

In 1917, the U.S. Senate voted 82-6 in favor of declaring war against Germany (the House fol-lowed suit two days later by a vote of 373-50).

In 1975, Microsoft was founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen in Albu-querque, New Mexico.

Ten years ago: Beyonce and Jay-Z were married during a private ceremony in New York.

Five years ago: Pulitzer Prize-winning film reviewer Roger Ebert, 70, died in Chicago.

One year ago: A federal appeals court ruled for the first time that the 1964 Civil Rights Act protected LGBT employees from workplace discrimination.

Today’s Birthdays: Author Kitty Kelley is 76. Actor Craig T. Nelson is 74. Actor Walter Charles is 73. Actor Hugo Weaving is 58. Actor Robert Downey Jr. is 53.

Thought for Today: “The ulti-mate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of chal-lenge and controversy. The true neighbor will risk his position, his prestige and even his life for the welfare of others.” — Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968).

EntErtainmEntDierks Bentley

wants to celebrate women at ACMs

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Coun-try star Dierks Bentley hopes that his new single reminds peo-ple that he’s not always singing about being drunk on a plane, or being a beach bum looking for a rebound.

Bentley’s new song, “Woman, Amen,” is a rousing, drum-driven celebration of the kind of women that aren’t typically profiled in country songs. And he’ll be using the song to highlight real women during his performance at the Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas on April 15.

“I think it helps counter out some of the other songs I have had out there,” Bentley said re-cently as he was preparing to shoot the music video in Nash-ville, Tennessee.

Bentley is hardly the worst of-fender of lyrical stereotyping in Nashville, but he knows he’s got a bit of reputation for songs like “Somewhere on a Beach,” “Drunk on a Plane,” and “Am I the Only One,” with the regretta-ble lyrics: “country cutie with a rock and roll bootie.”

“‘Woman, Amen’ is hopefully really tipping the scales back into more of a level playing field,” Bentley said. “I am defi-nitely guilty of some songs just to party to.”

Matthew Morrison, Rachel Bloom lead

benefit concertMIAMI — Matthew Morrison,

Rachel Bloom, Deborah Cox and Wayne Brady will lead sev-eral Broadway and TV stars at a benefit later this month to aid victims of the Florida high school shooting that killed 17.

The show called “From Broadway With Love: A Benefit Concert For Parkland, USA” is set for April 16 at the BB&T Center in Sunrise, Fla. All pro-ceeds will be donated to Mar-jory Stoneman Douglas Victims’ Fund and Shine MSD, which advocates for arts in the Parkland community.

Others slated to attend are Kirsten Maldonado, Noah Gal-vin, Justin Guarini, Vincent Rodriquez III, Ephraim Sykes, Erich Bergen, Christy Al-tomare, Laura Bell Bundy, Telly Leung, Jordan Donica, Donna Lynne Champlin and Gabrielle Ruiz. Several Stoneman Douglas students will speak at the event.

Cardi B to co-host ‘Tonight Show’

alongside FallonLOS ANGELES — Cardi B

isn’t just going to sing during her upcoming appearance on “The Tonight Show” — she’ll also be asking questions.

The hip-hop star will co-host

the April 9 show with Jimmy Fallon. Cardi B is set to perform and promote her debut album, “Invasion of Privacy.”

It will be Cardi B’s third ap-pearance on the late-night show. Other guests for Monday’s show have not yet been announced.

Man who threw banana peel at Dave

Chappelle suesSANTA FE, N.M. — A man

who threw a banana peel at Dave Chappelle during a 2015 performance in Santa Fe, New Mexico, is suing the comedian and a man presumed to be his bodyguard.

Christian Englander’s law-suit filed Friday contends the presumed bodyguard struck En-glander twice as he was being restrained.

Englander, who is white, has said he had no racial motivation when he threw the banana peel at Chappelle, who is black, but was angered by something Chappelle said during the show.

Gudis, who is an accoun-tant, said after the meet-ing Monday that it was not too much to ask that the hospital board offer the public a detailed, easy-to-follow list of revenues, ex-penses and investments.

“I do not understand how it’s possible for an or-ganization, especially one which has public money, not to have a ledger which can be used to create a fi-nancial report,” he said.

Gudis also questioned why the hospital board should hold onto money from the lease of Citrus Memorial.

The hospital board’s general attorney, Bill Grant, reported to his board members last month that the $8 million it had held onto had grown by more than $500,000 be-cause of its investment.

He said the board needs that money as a safety net in case Citrus Memorial Hospital one day drops some services the county must replace or in case of other unforeseen problems.

The charitable founda-tion gets its money from the lease of Citrus Memo-rial Hospital. The hospital is owned on behalf of the public by the Citrus County Hospital Board. It leased the 200-bed facility to health care giant Hospi-tal Corporation of Amer-ica for $127 million.

Much of that money went to pay off hospital bond debts, pension short-falls, and other costs. In-terest from the remainder is for the charitable foun-dation to spend on health-care programs in the community.

Florida law allows the

hospital board to retain funds for operations, but doesn’t specify the amount. Critics say that there’s no justification for the hospital board to hold onto $8 million plus interest.

Gudis has also now joined those ranks.

“Why do they need the money they’re still holding onto when we could use that money to carry out the mission of the charitable foundation?” he said.

“Since the question has been raised about the hos-pital board, there should be an independent audit ... so that everyone has an answer as to how much money there is and what it’s being used for,” he said.

Wooten has been one of the biggest advocates for an audit of the hospital board and critic of its management of that pub-lic money. He said the or-ganization has spent more than $1 million in legal services during the past year.

Gudis said Tuesday he did not think it appropri-ate to ask foundation members whether they wanted to take a vote on the issue and make a for-mal request of state auditors.

Gudis said it is better to first see what headway Wooten and others make in getting the hospital board to cooperate. And if it does not, “then possibly, I’m not going down that road yet,” he said of mak-ing a formal request of state officials.

Wooten told charitable foundation members that the hospital board was creating distractions in hopes that the public doesn’t ask about its finances.

Dr. Jeffrey Wallis is both a member of the hospital board and the charitable foundation; the foundation requires at least one hospi-tal board member among its 11-member panel.

Wallis said during the charitable foundation meeting that the hospital board’s cache of public documents would be suffi-cient to answer Wooten’s questions about finances.

But Wallis said after the meeting he would be open to a proposal to provide the public with an easy-to-follow and detailed format about expenses and revenues.

“In principle, a ledger sounds like a great idea,” he said,

As for an audit, Wallis said hospital board mem-bers would welcome a fi-nancial review.

But Wooten’s call to dis-band the hospital board would not serve the pub-lic’s interest, he said.

The charitable founda-tion has nearly $8 million of its own. It invests the money and uses 80 per-cent of its revenues to fund its operations and to give grants to local non-profit health initiatives.

Charitable foundation member Sondra Moylan said the Charitable Foun-dation could put the hospi-tal board’s $8 million to good use.

“What are they doing with the money they’ve in-vested?” Moylan asked of the hospital board. “Maybe it’s very legitimate, but I want to know. There’s a whole host of questions I’d like answered.

“I’m not looking for a gotcha. I just want true transparency,” she said after the meeting.

She is also calling for a detailed accounting of the hospital board’s expenses, especially legal fees.

“I’d like to see a line-by-line expense,” she said. “We’re sitting here in the dark, or at least I am.”

She added: “I deeply be-lieve they’re not doing anything illegal, but I don’t know if they’ve made the wisest choices. It’s sup-posed to be transparent, but we’re not seeing that.”

Charitable foundation member Ernesto “Tito” Rubio, director of the Cit-rus County Health Depart-ment, also said the public would benefit from

revenue and expenses laid out in a detailed fashion.

He also said it would likely be best if the hospital board handed its money over to the charitable foun-dation. In that way, the charitable foundation could invest it and use prof-its to fund ever more local healthcare initiatives.

And if the hospital board needed money in the future, the charitable foundation could give them what they needed from the principal.

Citrus County Commis-sioner Jimmie T. Smith, recently appointed to the charitable foundation board, said calling for a fo-rensic financial audit re-view is premature.

“I don’t know if it needs to go to that level,” he said. “I don’t think we’re there yet.

“I have to give them my trust that as volunteers they’re all trying to do the right thing,” he said, add-ing later, “This is still a

new entity.”The hospital was leased

in November 2014.“This is part of the grow-

ing pains,” Smith said.As for a ledger for the

public to see detailed rev-enues and expenses, Smith said: “Eventually the discussions will gener-ate that from the hospital board to get that kind of information the public is wanting. I don’t think the board is hiding anything.”

WASHINGTON — It was one week after the fatal shootings at a Parkland, Florida, high school, and Republican Sen. Marco Rubio was looking to show solidarity with an angry crowd of parents and stu-dents in his home state. He told them — and a na-tional television audience — that 18-year-olds should not be able to buy a rifle and said, “I will support a law that takes that right away.”

About 1,000 miles north, District of Columbia offi-cials could only shake their heads in disbelief. The city already had a law barring 18-year-olds from buying rifles, yet Rubio was the main senator pushing legislation to end that ban, as well as D.C.’s prohibition of assault weapons.

“Rubio’s gun bill should be a public embarrass-ment as well as a personal embarrassment to him,” said Eleanor Holmes Nor-ton, Washington’s nonvot-ing delegate in Congress.

Gun control has long been a sore point in rela-tions between officials in this heavily Democratic city, home to some of the nation’s toughest gun

control laws, and Republi-cans, who as the congres-sional majority have power over D.C.’s laws. The strong feelings have intensified with the nation at a crossroads moment in the gun control debate after the Feb. 14 shootings at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and a subsequent “March for Our Lives” gun-control rally in Washington.

Rubio, in particular, is seen as the villain. City of-ficials accuse him of play-ing cynical political games with the lives of Washing-ton residents to curry favor with the National Rifle Association.

Following the town hall, Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser chal-lenged Rubio to withdraw his bill. Rubio sent her a letter saying that he and Bowser “share a common goal” and that his bill seeks only to bring Wash-ington “in line with fed-eral law.” If federal law changes — which Rubio said is his goal — then Washington’s laws would change as well.

Bowser, a Democrat, posted the letter on Twit-ter with her handwritten notes and objections writ-ten in the margins. Those notes include Bowser call-ing Rubio’s stance “the

epitome of hypocrisy.”“He’s just using it to

boost his NRA score,” Bowser said in an inter-view with The Associated Press. “What we think Marco Rubio should be fo-cused on is his job.”

Asked for comment by The Associated Press, Rubio staffers responded by providing the Rubio let-ter that Bowser had posted.

Rubio introduced the bill, known as the Second Amendment Enforce-ment Act, in 2015 and

again in 2017. According to the NRA website, Rubio has an A-plus rat-ing. Among its list of Rubio accomplishments is that he “sponsored leg-islation that would repeal Washington, D.C.’s draco-nian gun control laws and restore the right of self-defense to law- abiding individuals in our nation’s capital.”

Norton said she’s been fighting off similar bills in Congress for years. An-other one, sponsored by Virginia Republican Tom

Garrett, exists in the House. Neither of them has much chance of pass-ing because the Republi-can majorities in Congress wouldn’t hold together on such a divisive issue, she said.

“The worst part is why he did it. Why would a senator from Florida take on this issue?” Norton asked. “He’s coming back every year for his NRA payoff.”

According to public re-cords, Rubio received just under $10,000 directly from the NRA during the 2016 election. However the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics, which combines direct contribu-tions from the NRA with contributions from like-minded affiliates, super PACs and money spent on campaign ads on behalf of the candidate, estimates that Rubio has received more than $3.3 million over the course of his ca-reer, making him the sixth-highest recipient in Congress.

The Washington govern-ment has bristled for years under what officials call the heavy-handed and ar-rogant oversight of Con-gress, which has the right to alter or spike all Wash-ington laws.

Washington has long

fought to defend its strict gun control. A 2008 Su-preme Court ruling de-clared Washington’s blanket ban on handgun ownership unconstitu-tional. Washington restric-tions such as preventing gun owners from register-ing more than one gun per month and requiring re-registration every three years also have been struck down by the courts.

The issues of Washing-ton’s autonomy and its gun control laws are deeply intertwined. The closest Washington has come in recent years to having a vote in Congress unraveled over gun control.

Republicans have op-posed statehood for the District of Columbia, which would boost Demo-cratic power in Congress. Despite the Republican Party’s general opposition to federal interference in state issues, the official GOP platform stance on D.C. statehood is that it can only be achieved via constitutional amend-ment. The platform states that “the nation’s capital city is a special responsi-bility of the federal gov-ernment because it belongs both to its resi-dents and to all Americans.”

Rubio on gun control: Depends who he’s talking to

Associated PressSen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., speaks during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the Parkland, Fla., school shootings and school safety in March on Capitol Hill in Washington. The Washington city government is publicly condemning Rubio for what it calls his hypocritical attempt to gut the District of Columbia’s strict gun control laws while simultaneously advocating stronger national gun ownership restrictions.

Errin HainEs WHack AP national writer

ATLANTA — On April 4, 1968, a movement lost its patriarch when the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was killed on a hotel balcony in Memphis.

Yolanda, Martin, Dexter and Bernice King lost their father.

The loss has not gotten easier in 50 years, but his three surviving children each bear it on their own terms.

“That period, for me, is like yesterday,” said Dex-ter King, now 57. “People say it’s been 50 years, but I’m living in step time. Forget what he did in terms of his service and commitment and contri-bution to humankind ... I miss my dad.”

His children cling to the few memories they have left of him. For years, they have had to publicly mourn a man who was among the most hated in America at the time of his death — a task they have been reluctant and, at times, angry to carry out.

Now that King is among the most beloved figures in the world, his heirs are forced to share him with the multitudes who have laid claim to his legacy. For more than a decade, they have had to do this without two of the family’s cornerstones: their mother, Coretta Scott King, who died in 2006, and eldest child, Yolanda, who died in 2007.

As adults, the siblings have earned a reputation over their infighting, which has spilled into rancorous lawsuits over heirlooms including their father’s Bible and Nobel Peace Prize. Today, the three say they are in a “good place” and have managed to compartmen-talize their differences and come together as a family in times of difficulty.

Their recollections are a reminder that at the center of this tragedy was a young family, robbed of a loving husband and fa-ther, who was just 39. All are older now than King was. The tributes to their dad — from the buildings and streets that bear his name, to statues in his home state and in the na-tion’s capital — are points of pride, but also constant reminders of the void he left.

Martin Luther King III’s eyes crinkle into a smile as he recalls the happier times: in the pews at Ebenezer Baptist Church on Auburn Avenue in At-lanta helping his dad greet new members, toss-ing a football or baseball on the lawn of the family home, swimming lessons at the YMCA.

When he came home from the front lines in the fight against racism, King’s somber expression would give way to smiles and a playful mood. For them, he was not an icon, but a buddy.

King III and his brother also traveled with King. Months before he was killed, they accompanied King as he mobilized peo-ple in South Georgia to attend his upcoming Poor People’s Campaign in Washington.

“That was our time for camaraderie,” recalled King III, now 60.

King III said he can still get emotional around his father’s death. If he lis-tens too closely to King’s “Drum Major Instinct” speech, in which the preacher muses about wanting to live a long life,

he still gets moved to tears.

For years afterward, King III tensed whenever he saw a news bulletin like the ones that told him his father was killed, or that his uncle, A.D. King, had been found dead in his swimming pool, or that his grandmother had been killed by a madman while playing the organ at Sunday service at Ebenezer — all while he was still a child.

“I was afraid, because I was like, ‘Is this going to be something else that happens to our family?’” he said.

Bernice King, the youngest, was once envi-ous of her siblings, who had many more memories of King. Shared stories from her mother, sisters and brother, as well as home movies, helped hu-manize her father.

Nicknamed “Bunny,” Bernice King said she cherishes the scant mo-ments she remembers sharing between father and daughter, like the “kissing game” they would play.

“That stayed with me so vividly,” said Bernice, now 55. “I’m glad I had that, because everything else, other than a few memories of being at the dinner table, I don’t re-call. I wish I knew him more.”

She admitted to strug-gling with having to share her parents with strang-ers over the years.

“It bothered me,” she said. “It’s hard to have the private moments ... It’s like everybody else has a part of him, and that’s al-ways hard to deal with. But I won’t let it get in the way of what they have done and what they mean to the world.”

That night and the days that followed the killing remain frozen in Dexter King’s memory. He re-members his mother tell-ing them something had happened to their father

as she prepared to head to the airport. After Coretta Scott King left, their care-giver answered the kitchen telephone, started screaming and fell backward.

Dexter, then 7, knew the worst had happened.

When King’s body re-turned to Atlanta, Dexter remembered running up and down the aisle of the airplane, and seeing his father’s coffin on the floor.

“I asked my mom, ‘What’s that?’” he said. “She explained, ‘Your dad is going to be sleeping when you see him and he won’t be able to speak with you. He’s gone home to be with God.’”

Dexter King spoke of his father’s warmth and playfulness, a departure from the serious approach he took to his work. See-ing him in his roles as

pastor and civil rights leader, Dexter King said he and his siblings were aware that their father’s work was important.

“You saw the interac-tion and the energy, just the way people reacted to him,” he said.

He was again struck by the people’s reaction at his father’s funeral, as a seemingly endless sea of mourners formed a fu-neral procession through Atlanta.

“There’s Dad, and there’s the leader the world owns,” Dexter con-tinued. “Generally, I ac-cept that. But he had a family. As kids, we did not choose this life. And I don’t know that my dad chose it. It really chose him. We’re human, and in some ways, we’re still grieving.”

Late rebound sees stocks gain lost ground

Assoicated Press

NEW YORK — Banks, retailers, health care and energy companies climbed Tuesday as U.S. stocks re-gained much of what they lost in a steep drop a day earlier. Several big tech-nology companies includ-ing Apple also recovered.

Banks rose as interest rates turned higher, and automakers Ford and Gen-eral Motors also jumped after saying their sales rose in March after a rough start to the year. Re-tailers like Foot Locker and consumer-focused companies including Net-flix also climbed.

The market got off to a shaky start, wobbled for much of the day, then surged in the last hour of trading. The S&P 500 index rose 32.57 points, or 1.3 per-cent, to 2,614.45. It dropped 2.2 percent a day earlier.

The Dow Jones indus-trial average rose 389.17 points, or 1.6 percent, to 24,033.36. The Nasdaq composite climbed 71.16 points, or 1 percent, to 6,941.28. The Russell 2000 index of smaller-company stocks added 19.62 points, or 1.3 percent, to 1,512.15.

Craig Holke, investment strategy analyst for the Wells Fargo Investment In-stitute, said the market will continue to bounce around as investors worry about changes in trade that could slow down the global economy and com-pany profits. He noted that the U.S. hasn’t entered a full-blown trade war since 1930, and trade

relationships were much different back then.

“There was a lot less in-terconnectedness,” he said. “Every country was actually more insulated, produced more of their own goods at that time. It’s really hard to get around that nowadays.”

Among individual stocks, CBS added 4.2 per-cent to $52.86 on reports it plans to make an offer to buy corporate sibling Via-com. The offer is reported to be for less than Via-com’s current market value, and Viacom stock fell 3.7 percent to $29.42.

Music streaming com-pany Spotify made its debut on the New York Stock Exchange Tuesday. Instead of raising money through an initial public offering underwritten by an investment bank, Spo-tify Technologies took a more unusual route called a direct listing that lets

investors sell the stock di-rectly. It started trading at $165.90 a share, well above the previous high share price of $132.50 it reached in private deals. The stock wound up closing down 10.2 percent at $149.01.

It’s been a rocky month for stocks as investors wor-ried about changes to the North American Free Trade Agreement and ten-sions between the U.S. and China, the world’s biggest economies. Stocks plunged one day ago after China placed tariffs on a small number of exports, and investors fear that its response to a broader package of trade sanctions will be harsher. But Holke, of Wells Fargo, said it’s likely the countries will find ways to resolve their differences on issues in-cluding complaints that Beijing steals or pressures foreign companies to hand over technology.

Needle drops on Spotify’s stock; investors dig the groove

Michael liedtkeAssociated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — Spotify’s opening act on Wall Street struck a chord with in-vestors betting the unprofitable compa-ny’s trend-setting music streaming service will maintain its early lead over Apple and other powerful challengers.

After several hours of anticipation Tuesday morning, Spotify’s shares traded as high as $169 in their stock market debut before falling back slightly. The stock closed at $149.01 — well above its previous high of $132.50 in deals worked out during Spotify’s 12-year history as a privately held company.

The stock market’s warm welcome left Spotify with a market value of about $27 billion, according to FactSet. By com-parison, internet radio station Pandora Media’s market value stands at $1.2 bil-lion nearly seven years after that com-pany went public.

The performance left Spotify’s market value among the 10 highest ever re-corded by a technology company follow-ing their first day of U.S. trading, according to Dealogic. Chinese e-com-merce company Alibaba Group holds the top spot at $234 billion after its market debut in 2014.

Spotify CEO Daniel Ek who founded the company, emerged as the day’s big-gest winner. His 27 percent stake in the Swedish company is now worth $7.4 billion.

The good vibes surrounding Spotify stem from its early lead in music stream-ing — a still-evolving field trying to hook people on the idea that it’s better to sub-scribe for online access to millions of tunes than to buy individual albums and singles.

Spotify has attracted 71 million world-wide subscribers so far and is aiming to increase that number to as many as 96 million subscribers by the end of the year. It has 159 million total users, in-cluding people who are willing to listen

to ads for access to free music.By comparison, Apple’s nearly 3-year-

old music streaming service has 38 mil-lion subscribers. A list of other formidable competitors that includes Google and Amazon also offer similar music streaming services, raising the specter of Spotify being wiped out by far richer rivals. Apple, Amazon and Google corporate rival have amassed a com-bined $402 billion in cash compared to Spotify’s 1.5 billion euro ($1.8 billion).

Spotify’s success in music streaming has drawn comparisons to Netflix, which built upon its pioneering role in DVD-by-mail rentals and then video streaming to create a hugely successful, subscrip-tion-driven franchise that has produced spectacular investment returns and has minted the company with a market value of $122 billion.

A $10,000 investment in Netflix’s 2002 initial public stock offering would now be worth more than $2.6 million, leaving some investors wondering if Spotify might be on a similar trajectory in music streaming.

“The similarities here, we believe, are much greater than the differences,” RBC Capital Markets analyst Mark Mahaney wrote in a recent research note assessing the parallels between Spotify and Netflix.

Besides blending technology with a subscription model to reshape a popular form of entertainment, Spotify and Net-flix have a common executive in their lineage. Spotify’s current chief financial officer, Barry McCarthy, held the same job when Netflix went public and re-mained in that position until leaving the video service in 2010.

Unlike Netflix, Spotify still isn’t profit-able, having lost more than 2.4 billion euros ($3 billion) since it started more than a decade ago. After losing 1.2 billion euro, Spotify has also made it clear that it intends to remain focused on adding more subscribers instead of making money for now.

Honored to be part of special gatheringOn March 15, the residents

of the Singing Forest subdivi-sion in Floral City held their annual “Celebration of Life” event. All of the residents of the park, and some past resi-dents, who had passed away in the preceding year are re-membered and honored. Their names are read aloud, and butterflies are released in their memory.

Each year a charity organi-zation is invited to partake in this ceremony. This year, the Citrus County Veterans Coali-tion CCVC was asked to share in this remembrance. All of the residents were asked to bring a food or toiletry item as a donation to the CCVC. All items collected would be dis-tributed to needy Citrus County Veterans through the CCVC Food Pantry. In all, over 350 pounds of food and toiletry items were donated.

The CCVC was honored to be invited, and to partake in this Celebration of Life, as a few or the names read were also veterans who honorably served their country.

The coalition serves be-tween 65 and 75 veterans and their families each month. Each family gets between 60 to 75 pounds of necessities to help them get through the month. It is through the gen-erous donations of the resi-dents of Singing Forest, and many others, that we are able to carry out our mission of “Veterans Helping Veterans.” We thank the residents for their kind invitation and for their generous donations, which help remember those less fortunate than themselves.

Yours in service,

Possible options for school safety

The U.S. House “touted $2.3 billion for school safety ... through programs at the Education, Justice, and Health and Human Services departments.” The Depart-ment of Education will re-ceive $70.9 billion. Charter school would receive $58 million. Florida allo-cated $6.1 million for mental health services plus another $500 million increase per year; $97.5 million for SRO’s plus millions more for schools’ physical security. The sad reality here is that no additional funding for school safety would have been forthcoming if the Parkland shooting had not happened.

State legislators like to transfer certain costs down to counties on items that they want to remove from State budgets. Florida is no differ-ent. So eventually, school dis-tricts and taxpayers may have to cover some of these school security expenses.

Why not plan ahead? The approximate $1 million the sheriff requested is only until the end of school year. It’s un-clear what the yearly total will be. The state and federal governments will be funding most of these expenses, but this funding may be subject to future fluctuations. While the debate about allowing school teachers and staff or retired

law enforcement and military veterans to volunteer to carry on school campuses contin-ues in some states, the issue has already been decided in others.

One hundred and seventy school districts in Texas let teachers and administrators carry concealed weapons on school grounds. Polk County, Florida, in a partnership be-tween the sheriff ’s office and Southeastern University, al-lows staff to bring guns to school. It’s called the Senti-nel program. After being trained, multiple staff mem-bers at the private university are now carrying guns. South Dakota became the first state in the nation to enact a law explicitly authorizing school employees to carry guns to work. The Clarksville School District in Little Rock, has had teachers, janitors, com-puter technicians and other staff members ready to re-spond in case of a shooting. There are others.

In Florida, guns are not al-lowed on school property un-less you are law enforcement. You can get around that by making staffers/volunteers “special deputies.”

Not considering or discuss-ing all school safety options is simply irresponsible. Every-one agrees that protecting students is the ultimate goal, except for the associated costs. The implementation of the aforementioned safety consideration can minimize the costs, freeing up valuable scarce revenue/resources for other safety considerations.

Sensible gun control — really?

I have been seeing the over-load of Sound Offs about how the kids were deprived of their civil rights by not being able to skip school to express their political beliefs. And yet we just took their civil rights away with a new law that pre-vents them from owning a gun until they are 21! Go figure that one?

These same kids can’t buy liquor until they are 21, yet can go right down and join the services (at 18) and be given a fully automatic weapon (machine gun) and

told to kill or be killed. The letters and national news re-flect just how unknowing the public is when it comes to self defense and guns. One advo-cates arming guards with pep-per spray, another said throw tear gas at the bad guys. And today it is on national news that a school district is plac-ing 5 gallon buckets of rocks in every classroom as a last means of defense. This list is far from complete as to stupid ideas. When the source of these ideas finds anyone who would take the job to stand against a nut with low-rated .22 caliber gun using their suggested weapons, please let us all know!

Now we are to accept the opinion of these young kids that guns that they can’t own, and being too young and un-knowing to buy liquor, yet old enough to die for our free-doms, now somehow know the solution to fix terrorist and mental illness issues? I to-tally feel the leftist “no guns” agenda has hijacked this issue and the minds of kids to push their socialist platform.

Yes, I am an NRA member, as are my law enforcement and Air Force officer sons. We all own AR-15 rifles — and they are no doubt lazy guns that have shot no one, or even threatened anyone, yet pro-vide fun and enjoyment to all of the family.

Gun bans do not work, never have and never will. The most dangerous places in the U.S. are Detroit, Chicago, and L.A. Yet they have had gun bans for years. I guess the bad guys did not read the laws? But to have kids out of school for only 17 Minutes is even less likely an outcome. Anyone actually thinks that the school would vacate and be back in school mode in less than one hour would also think gun bans really work.

Innocent we ain’tRe: “For the record, hate

and bigotry are not accept-able and 99.9 percent of the folks who call Citrus County home understand that.” (Gerry Mulligan’s Out the Window column, Sunday, March 18.)

It’s disconcerting when the publisher of the county’s only newspaper exudes naiveté.

County staff should leave guns at homeRe: Front page poll on

county employees carrying guns (April 2, page A1).

I used to work for a county in Virginia. This issue should be left entirely to the county. There may be situations or people filling positions in which carrying a concealed weapon is permissible, but only when county administra-tors deem it necessary.

Otherwise, guns get left at home, locked in a safe. What people do on their own time is their business, but just be-cause they have a concealed carry permit for their per-sonal time doesn’t mean they get to bring it to the workplace.

PATIENTS FIRST

Look out for county’s needs in any hospice dealIs a hospice by any other

name just as comforting? Citrus could soon find out.

It was revealed last week that Hospice of Citrus and the Nature Coast, based in Lecanto, could soon be merging with the larger, Tavares-based hospice chain Cornerstone Hos-pice & Palliative Care Inc.

The news is bit-tersweet, because the truth is that recent history has been any-thing but com-f o r t i n g f o r Hospice of Citrus and the Nature Coast: In 2015, the nonprofit was hit with $3.5 million in fines for failing to properly docu-ment patient services for which Medicaid was billed. The fines cut deep, resulting in the sale of properties and the elimination of 54 posi-tions, half in Citrus.

Those kinds of cutbacks are obviously not conducive to the provision of care. That’s especially obvious

when juxtaposed with statis-tics regarding our aging pop-ulation — that is, the very reason another hospice chain might think Hospice of Citrus is worth buying.

There’s certainly a need for the services in the county, with 2,546 deaths recorded in Citrus in 2015. That number is expected to climb by about 500 in the coming years.

If a merger or buyout helps sta-bilize hospice services in the community, that will be good for the people of Cit-rus County — not

just those who require hos-pice care, but their families, as well. At the same time, Hospice of Citrus and the Nature Coast is based here, and that tie to the commu-nity is meaningful. If local control is relinquished, there will be fewer voices to advocate for the communi-ty’s needs — and fewer re-ceptive ears to hear them.

THE ISSUE:Hospice of Citrus and the Nature

Coast could soon merge with or be

acquired by Tavares-based hospice chain.

OUR OPINION:Best outcome is

any that results in stable, reliable

hospice provider for needs here.

Maybe you should bar humans

To the person that called in and sounded off about the dog: I would like to tell them that they need to think about barring hu-mans that come into the restau-rants and grocery stores and coughs and hacks all over our food, spreads their germs, and then we catch it and someone with a low im-mune system winds up in the hospital and even deceased from them coming in sick. A dog has never given me the flu, nor anyone else, or has never given a dis-ease at all, but humans sure do. So maybe they should think about that. I’ve never done this before and I surely do hope that you will print it. I appreciate it and I do not have an animal.

Be careful with your guns

Stat Cop here. Just want to touch base on some of the infor-mation about guns. Recently found out from an insurance company about a rider on several guns, that your homeowners pol-icy only covers about $2,500 on guns; either that or you get a rider, which will cost about $400 a year for like three to 30 guns. So that’s a good thing to find out from your insurance company. Also for documentation-wise, you need to go ahead and take pic-tures of them, make a note of anything suspicious or something that could stick out so you can

identify them. Make sure you’ve got the serial numbers and model numbers correct because that’s the only way you’ll get the guns back if somebody steals them, if somebody runs the serial number and it comes back a hit. Hope that helps. Have a good day.

ZIP code confusion

I’m calling about my ZIP code. I live in 34434. When people ask me my ZIP code, it comes up Dunnellon, but I live in a develop-ment called Citrus Springs. On the “Citrus Springs Villager,” it has

a new logo, “Your Hometown on the Nature Coast.” Citrus Springs isn’t a town, it’s not a village, so when they say “Home-town,” they must mean Dunnel-lon. Why don’t we just quit the Citrus Springs name and just say we live in Dunnellon? We’d have less rules and less people trying to micromanage us.

Editor’s note: Although Citrus Springs is in Citrus County, parts of it share a ZIP code with Dunnel-lon, in Marion County. Because they are designed primarily for delivery efficiency, ZIP codes typi-cally do not line up perfectly with county and municipal boundaries.

Maybe a name change is in order

Sugarmill Woods, Sugarmill Woods. I think the name should be changed to Sugarmill Woods Whinery. Lord have mercy, do they whine.

THE CHRONICLE invites you to call “Sound Off” with your opinions about local or statewide subjects. You do not need to leave your name, and have less than a minute to record.

Hot Corner: DRIVING

n Another bad accident this morning (March 29) involving a car and a motorcycle on U.S. 19 in Homosassa where all the construction is going on. When are you guys going to realize we need some law enforcement to help direct this traffic and keep people at a slower speed limit? You can’t even turn left right now out of Grover Cleveland or Homosassa Trail heading south on (U.S.) 19. It’s a heck of a mess.

n I live on Highland Avenue in the Highlands outside of Inverness and I really sympathize with people who live on Ozello Trail. We have the same problem. The sheriff won’t do his job. They will not stop the speeding. And we just had an accident there the other night that literally demolished two cars at high speed. When is the sheriff going to start doing his job

and how can we compel the sheriff to start doing his job? How can we compel him to make his deputies do their job and ticket these drivers, these morons?

n This is a phone call for the Citrus County sheriff and for the board of Citrus County: We really need officers, deputies, to be watching major intersections in Citrus County. One day, every day. Once a day, every day.

n I agree with the Sound Off contributor about the speeding on Ozello road. I have fre-quently been passed by groups of sport-bike rid-ers — otherwise known as organ donors — who like to blow by cars at well over 100 mph on the short straights. The county really needs to do something about monitoring this road before someone gets killed.

Solar panels will destroy the

Nature CoastThe article about With-

acoochee River Electric Cooperative installing 348 solar panels (“Elec-tric co-op goes solar in a big way,” April 2, page A1) fails to mention the environmental damage caused by the solar pan-els. How many thousands of fine oak and pine trees were destroyed to install the panels? What is the ratio of kilowatt hours produced to trees destroyed? What about the birds and bees and squirrels in the trees and all the animals living on the ground under the trees?

What will happen to the eagles and numerous small birds flying over the “solar hot spot?” How many birds must be killed to charge an elec-tric car? This is the Na-ture Coast, not the Solar Panel Coast.

Solar panels belong on rooftops and in the desert.

Dr. Dixon’s comments

were off baseDr. Dixon made sev-

eral good points in his March 30 column (“Col-lapse of societal norms led to Parkland shoot-ing,” page A11). Parents should be parenting and not trying to be their child’s friend. Vulgar language, rudeness and antisocial behavior does seem to be running ram-pant with children and adults, but blaming the left for this situation is a cop-out. Everyone makes their own choices and if the only thing that was holding society together was Christian tenets, then what does that say about mankind in gen-eral? If we don’t have a master, albeit a good one in Jesus, are we a snarl-ing pack of wolves

unable to control our base urges? Please.

Where Dr. Dixon lost me and angered me was his statement that “in re-ality, school shootings should be a minor worry to parents.” Excuse me, but I think that to the parents of the 297 chil-dren killed by gunfire in the U.S. since 1980, it is probably something that will haunt them for the rest of their lives. Yes, parents should monitor their children’s driving habits, cellphone and video game usage, but to casually conclude that the possibility of chil-dren being shot in the classroom, however re-mote that may be, should be a minor worry is a cold and callous statement.

I am perplexed by Dr. Dixon’s seeming lack of compassion and concern regarding gun violence in our schools. Dr. Dixon says that extensive back-ground checks and lon-ger waiting periods only inconvenience law-abid-ing citizens and that a determined killer will find a way to get the job done. I say let’s at least give some of these mea-sures a try. What do we have to lose — only our children.

You have to work to bring

in businessHow refreshing it is to

have hired Mr. Bruce Register to head the of-fensive drive to bring in new business and oppor-tunities to Citrus County.

I just pray the other commissioners don’t dis-tract Mr. Register with a bunch of political obsta-cles so he doesn’t suc-ceed and quits from frustration. One commis-sioner said it will take a few years to gel. That is nonsense. In the real world, you kiss a bunch of frogs and perhaps find a princess periodically.

I know. I successfully

chased suppliers to sell me products for over 40 years. You simply put to-gether a solid plan, as Bruce suggested, and get out and kiss babies and kick tires. If you plan too much and don’t react, you will fall flat on your face.

Build trust and integ-rity. Go after small busi-ness as well as major manufacturers. Report to us citizens quarterly on the direction and sta-tus of all avenues pur-sued. Wins and losses. That’s a real business plan.

Yes it takes weeks, months and years, but you have to keep at it ag-gressively all the time. We compete with every county in Florida. We will always be small town folks here in Citrus County, but it’s up to Bruce to show our attri-butes and the economic advantage to relocating your company here. Help our small business here grow if they so choose. Bruce must have dozens of balls in the air at all times to succeed at this effort.

The Withlacoochee Technical College must quickly react to opportu-nities Bruce brings and design a program in which to properly train employees locally to fill these jobs. Without this cooperation, this pursuit will fail.

What can we citizens do? Keep our eyes and ears open and give Bruce ideas. We all have decades of experience in many fields and have successfully retired in this lovely county. We must keep our roads and streets clean and our at-titudes upbeat. We are all selling Citrus County.

Let’s all try and attend the workshop Bruce is presenting on May 1 at the trade school. Wish I knew about the April 2 presentation way in ad-vance of today so I could have planned to attend.

Letters to THE EDITOR

Sound OFFA shout-out to our law enforcementI just want to express

my support for the brave men and women of law enforcement. These folks are having to deal with the worst of society ... the vio-lence. I’ve got their back 100 percent. To anybody that can’t understand their job: I learned a long time ago in the Marine Corps that if I’m in a barroom brawl and the military po-lice come, I just drop it. I just give it up, drop it. Even if I just got sucker punched, I drop it and save it for another day. Not only will I lose that battle against the police, but it’s just common courtesy, the right thing to do if you un-derstand what they’ve got to go through. I’m so sick and tired of these good people getting shot.

We can’t pay a bill if we don’t get itHere we go again! Chair-

man Ron Kitchen of the county commissioners has listed people in Sugarmill Woods as delinquent in their water bills. We have not received a water bill for March and several of our neighbors have not re-ceived a water bill for March, but several have re-ceived a delinquent notice threatening to turn off our water for nonpayment. Personally, living in Citrus County since 1990, my wife and I have never been delinquent in any bill. Our water bill doubled last year. Ron Kitchen said it was wonderful that our water service was im-proved due to upgrades. This is a serious error that the commissioners have done and there’s no ex-cuse for it. They have en-dangered our credit and accused us of not paying our bills. We cannot pay our bills if they don’t send

a bill. I, for one, will never vote for any of them in the future, especially Ron Kitchen.

Don’t toss those flowerpots

Please don’t throw away used flowerpots, be they plastic or clay. People who have a hobby of replanting and propagating indoor plants — even outdoor plants — are in great need of them. They’re much cheaper if you buy a bun-dle of used ones at a yard sale than new ones at a re-tail store. We have much use for them and you can make money at your flea market.

Don’t want to listen to crying babiesI am not one for a lot of

laws, but I should be able to go into a restaurant without a baby crying. If the rude, inconsiderate parents or parent will not remove the crying baby after a couple minutes, I say the management should escort them out. A fellow on Fox News — I did not catch his name — sug-gested that perhaps if I didn’t like the baby crying, I should be the one to leave. If I do not have to pay for my food, I will gladly leave.

Confused by Dunnellon arrestsI’m a little confused and

I would like some clarifica-tion about Citrus County Sheriff’s (Office) deputies that arrest many people in Dunnellon, bring them to Citrus County, go to the courts and incarcerate them in Citrus County. Does Dunnellon have their own law enforcement? If so, why are we making ar-rests in Dunnellon? I don’t quite understand that and I’d like to get clarification on that. I read in the

Chronicle many, many times that the deputies make various arrests in Dunnellon. So are we sup-plying law enforcement in Dunnellon? If so, are we being reimbursed for the services that Citrus County Sheriff’s (Office) is supplying?

Editor’s note: The Citrus County Sheriff’s Office does not provide law enforcement services for the City of Dun-nellon. There are two rea-sons for the confusion. On the one hand, Dunnellon is directly on the border of Cit-rus County, so it is not un-common for lawbreakers living in Dunnellon to com-mit crimes in Citrus County, where they are subsequently arrested by Citrus County deputies. Another reason is that parts of Citrus Springs share a ZIP code with Dun-nellon, so many people in that area use “Dunnellon” in their home address, even though their homes are actu-ally located in Citrus County and are thus within the juris-diction of the Citrus County Sheriff’s Department.

They had their chance to protestI’m calling about the

Sunday (March 25) edito-rial, “Students should have been allowed to pro-test.” The students had the opportunity to protest and the opportunity was yesterday on Citrus Ave-nue. How many students were there? It appears there were less than or about 200 people total and even your article on the front page indicates most of them were adults. So students had enough time and had the opportunity. They just chose not to take advan-tage of it when it was in-convenient to get out classes. Perhaps if they were really motivated, they would have been there yesterday.

Dutch attorney sentenced in Russia probe

WASHINGTON — A Dutch attorney who lied to federal agents investigating former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort was sentenced Tuesday to 30 days in prison in the first pun-ishment handed down in the special counsel’s Russia in-vestigation. He was also or-dered to pay a $20,000 fine.

Alex van der Zwaan’s sen-tence could set a guidepost for what other defendants charged with lying in special counsel Robert Mueller’s in-vestigation may receive when their cases are re-solved. Among them are a former White House national security adviser and a Trump campaign foreign policy aide.

Van der Zwaan, 33, had faced up to six months in prison under federal sen-tencing guidelines, and his attorneys had pushed for him to pay a fine and leave the country.

Judge to decide if Nazi ‘troll storm’ is free speechMISSOULA, Mont. — At-

torneys for a neo-Nazi web-site publisher and a Montana woman asked a judge Tuesday to decide whether the white national-ist had a First Amendment right to unleash a “troll storm” of anti-Semitic mes-sages and threats against the Jewish woman’s family.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Jeremiah Lynch heard ar-guments in Missoula on whether to dismiss a lawsuit by Tanya Gersh, a real- estate agent from the mountain resort community of Whitefish, against The Daily Stormer publisher An-drew Anglin.

Lynch didn’t indicate how soon he would rule, said Marc Randazza, one of An-glin’s attorneys.

“It was clear that he’s been thinking very deeply about the constitutional is-sues,” Randazza said in a text message Tuesday.

Woman says she reported ‘cruel’

treatmentSEATTLE — A woman

said Tuesday that she told Oregon child welfare offi-cials in 2013 that Jennifer and Sarah Hart — who plunged off a California cliff with their children last month in an SUV — had been depriving the kids of food as punishment.

In a statement provided to The Associated Press, Alex-andra Argyropoulos, a former friend of the Harts, said she “witnessed what I felt to be controlling emotional abuse and cruel punishment” to-ward the six children.

Argyropoulos said she was told the children had been interviewed by officials but there was nothing more the Oregon Department of Human Services could do because there was not enough evidence to make a case.

Israel vows tough response to Gaza

protestsGAZA CITY, Gaza Strip

— Israel’s defense minister said Tuesday that the mili-tary will not change its tough response to Hamas-led mass protests near Ga-za’s border with Israel, warning that those who ap-proach the border are put-ting their lives at risk.

Avigdor Lieberman spoke near Gaza, where 18 Pal-estinians were killed by Is-raeli fire Friday, the first day of what Hamas says will be six weeks of intermittent border protests against a stifling blockade of the territory.

On Tuesday, a 25-year-old Gaza man was killed by Israeli fire as he threw stones in the area of the border fence, Gaza’s Health Ministry said.

Lieberman’s comments raised the possibility of more bloodshed this Friday, when another mass protest is expected.

The international group Human Rights Watch ac-cused Lieberman and other senior Israeli officials Tues-day of unlawfully calling for the use of live fire against Palestinian protesters who posed no imminent threat to life.

Caravan, raising concerns in US, halts in MexicoMATIAS ROMERO, Mex-

ico — The caravan of Central American migrants that an-gered U.S. President Donald Trump was sidelined at a sports field in southern Mex-ico with no means of reach-ing the border even as Trump tweeted another threat to Mexico Tuesday.

“The big Caravan of Peo-ple from Honduras, now coming across Mexico and heading to our “Weak Laws” Border, had better be stopped before it gets there,” Trump wrote. “Cash cow NAFTA is in play, as is foreign aid to Honduras and the countries that allow this to happen.”

The caravan that once numbered 1,150 or more people actually halted days ago in the town of Matias Romero in the southern state of Oaxaca, where par-ticipants slept out in the open.

Trump: Put troops on borderJill Colvin and

lolita C. BaldorAssociated Press

WASHINGTON — Frus-trated by slow action on a big campaign promise, President Donald Trump said Tuesday he wants to use the military to secure the U.S.-Mexico border until his promised border wall is built.

Trump told reporters he’s been discussing the idea with Defense

Secretary Jim Mattis.“We’re going to be doing

things militarily. Until we can have a wall and proper security, we’re going to be guarding our border with the military,” Trump said, calling the move a “big step.”

It was unclear exactly how the proposal would work or what kind of troops Trump wanted to deploy.

Federal law prohibits the use of active-duty

service members for law enforcement inside the U.S., unless specifically authorized by Congress. But over the past 12 years, presidents have twice sent National Guard troops to the border to bolster secu-rity and assist with sur-veillance and other support. An official said the White House counsel’s office has been working on the idea for several weeks.

Trump has been an-noyed by the lack of

progress on building what was the signature promise of his campaign: a “big, beautiful wall” along the Mexican border. He’s pre-viously suggested using the Pentagon’s budget to pay for building the wall, arguing it is a national se-curity priority, despite strict rules that prohibit spending that’s not autho-rized by Congress.

The Department of Homeland Security and White House did not

immediately respond to requests for comment. At the Pentagon, officials were struggling to answer questions about the plan, including rudimentary de-tails on whether it would involve National Guard members.

But officials appeared to be considering a model similar to a 2006 operation in which President George W. Bush deployed Na-tional Guard troops to the southern border.

SAN BRUNO, Calif. — A woman opened fire with a hand-gun Tuesday in a courtyard at YouTube headquarters, wound-ing three people before fatally shooting herself in what is being investigated as a domestic dis-pute, authorities said.

Terrified employees huddled inside, calling 911, as officers and federal agents swarmed the com-pany’s suburban campus sand-wiched between two interstates in the San Francisco Bay Area city of San Bruno.

YouTube employee Dianna Arnspiger said she was on the building’s second floor when she heard gunshots, ran to a window and saw the shooter on a patio outside.

She said the woman wore glasses and a scarf and was using a “big huge pistol.”

“It was a woman and she was firing her gun. And I just said, ‘Shooter,’ and everybody started running,” Arnspiger said.

She and others hid in a confer-ence room for an hour while an-other employee repeatedly called 911 for updates.

“It was terrifying,” she said.Authorities gave few details

about the shooter and victims, ex-cept that the gunfire was being investigated as a domestic dis-pute, two law enforcement

officials with knowledge of the in-vestigation told The Associated Press. They spoke on the condi-tion of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the probe.

A 36-year-old man was in critical

condition, a 32-year-old woman was in serious condition and a 27-year-old woman was in fair con-dition, a spokesman for San Fran-cisco General Hospital said.

Witnesses described terror be-fore officers arrived and discov-ered a victim near a front door and then found the shooter sev-eral minutes later with what ap-peared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound, San Bruno Police Chief Ed Barberini said.

He said two additional gun-shot victims were found at an adjacent business minutes later. Barberini initially said there were four people who had been shot but later clarified that a fourth person had suffered an ankle injury.

Zach Vorhies, 37, a senior soft-ware engineer at YouTube, said he was at his desk working on the second floor of one of the buildings when the fire alarm went off. He got on his skate-board and approached a court-yard, where he saw the shooter yelling, “‘Come at me, or come get me.’”

He saw somebody lying nearby on his back with a red stain on his stomach that appeared to be from a bullet wound. Vorhies said he realized there was an active shooter when a police officer with an assault rifle came through a security door.

He said the public can access the courtyard where he saw the shooter during work hours.

OKLAHOMA CITY — A teacher rebellion in red states from West Virginia to Arizona has put Republi-cans on the defensive, forc-ing them to walk a fine line in the months before mid-term elections between pla-cating constituents who are angry over education cuts and conservative support-ers who want a smaller gov-ernment and low taxes.

In Oklahoma, most Re-publicans last week broke with the party orthodoxy and endorsed hundreds of

millions of dollars in tax increases to fund public schools and give teachers a raise of 15 to 18 percent.

They acted after Okla-homa teachers demanded action, inspired by a nine-day strike in West Virginia, where they won a 5 percent raise. The rebellion also has spread to Kentucky where teachers thronged the state Capitol Monday to protest cuts in pensions.

But the epicenter of the revolt now is Oklahoma, where lawmakers got little praise for approving major tax increases and instead caught flak from both sides

of the political divide. Thousands of teachers con-verged on the state Capitol for a second day Tuesday demanding even more money, while anti-tax conservatives vowed to challenge incumbents who supported the plan.

“I’ve had some political blowback, people saying this will be my last term in office,” said Rep. Kyle Hil-bert, a Republican from rural northeast Oklahoma, who has gotten an earful from conservatives. “I’d rather serve one term and know I did what was best for my district.”

The Oklahoma strike showed no signs of ending, with many of the largest school districts in the state planning to close for a third consecutive day on Wednes-day to honor the walkout.

For the Democratic Party, which has been los-ing legislative seats in many of these red states for years, the intensity of the education movement is an opportunity. The Oklahoma Democratic Party set up a tent outside the Capitol during the teacher protests and urged demonstrators to register to vote.

Super-Mann rescues

slumping PanthersLecanto rallies past Citrus for 8-6 win

Chris Bernhardt Jr.Staff writer

LECANTO — Offense hasn’t come easy for Lecanto recently, enduring a pair of 1-0 losses last week.

Down 4-1 after an inning and a half, Tues-day night’s matchup with county and Dis-trict 6A-6 rival Citrus looked like more of the same. Then came the bottom of the second, and Cole Mann’s big blast.

The senior third baseman’s three-run bomb to dead center highlighted the five-run frame, giving the hosts a lead they would never relinquish en route to an 8-6 victory.

“I just saw that pitch all the way from his hands to my barrel and I just let it ride, and just trusted my hands and just did what I needed to do to help the team out,” Mann said. “It got us up and it got my team excited. They were pressing and we just kept on get-ting on them.”

The Panthers (4-12, 2-6 6A-6) broke an eight-game losing skid, and also split the season series with the Hurricanes (7-10, 3-4 6A-6), who won the first meeting on March 2, 8-7.

Didi drills Rays

Associated PressNew York’s Didi Gregorius watches his three-run home run in front of Tampa Bay catcher Jesus Sucre during the seventh inning Tuesday in New York. It was his second three-run home run of the game. The Yankees won 11-4.

Gregorius’ 2 HRs, 8 RBIs lead Yankees over Tampa Bayronald BlumAP baseball writer

NEW YORK — A big bopper pow-ered the New York Yankees to vic-tory in their most anticipated home opener in years — Didi Gregorius, not Giancarlo Stanton or Aaron Judge.

When the Yankees agreed to ac-quire Stanton from Miami on Dec. 9, Gregorius playfully tweeted : “Hey Skip am i still batting 4th ???”

He sure is.Gregorius hit a pair of three-run

homers and had a career-high eight RBIs, helping New York overcame five strikeouts by Stanton in his first game in pinstripes. In Aaron Boone’s chilly first home opener as manager, the Yankees broke a seventh-inning tie and romped over the Tampa Bay Rays 11-4 on Tuesday.

“That’s what a cleanup hitter does: You clean up the garbage in front of you,” Stanton said.

Starting his fourth season as

Derek Jeter’s successor, Gregorius had four hits and walked. He set a major league record for RBIs by a player in a home opener and a Yan-kees record for RBIs by a shortstop.

Gregorius established career bests last year with a .287 average, 25 homers and 87 RBIs.

“I think everyone around the game understands what a good player he is and what a big-time money player he’s become,” Boone said.

Stanton starred in last Thursday’s opening win at Toronto, homering twice. But he struck out three times against Chris Archer and once each when facing Austin Pruitt (1-1) and Sergio Romo. Stanton was booed in the eighth inning after the first five-strikeout game of his 11-season professional career.

“I was awful today,” he said. “You put up a performance like that, you should get some boos.”

Gregorius was asked to think back

to April 2015, when he hit .206 in his first month with the Yankees and made several errors and baserun-ning blunders in his first month. Fans taunted him by chanting Jeter’s name.

“The reason why they boo you, be-cause they want you to do good. It’s not because they hate you,” Grego-rius said. “It’s a bad day today, but tomorrow if he gets five home runs, everybody’s going to forget about it.”

Gregorius doubled and scored in the second, and his first homer put the Yankees ahead 4-1 in the third.

“We prepare for him just as much as we prepare for the other boppers in their lineup,” Archer said.

After New York’s bullpen wasted a three-run lead for the second straight game, Gregorius drove an 0-2 pitch from Pruitt into the second deck in right in a four-run seventh. He blooped an opposite-field, broken-bat, two-run single to left in a three-run eighth.

Associated Press

NEW YORK — Matt Harvey al-lowed one hit over five sharp in-nings in his encouraging season debut, and the New York Mets beat the Philadelphia Phillies 2-0 on a rainy Tuesday night at Citi Field.

With most seats empty in the 40-degree mist and chill, a healthy-looking Harvey gave the Mets reason to believe he can re-bound this year from two terrible seasons interrupted by injury. Though his fastball usually clocked 91-93 mph — down from the sizzling heat he used to bring — the right-hander showed much better command with all his pitches than most outings over the past two years.

Todd Frazier snapped a score-less tie with a run-scoring double in the sixth. Travis d’Arnaud added a two-out RBI single that chased Ben Lively (0-1), who hit Yoenis Cespedes with a pitch to begin the rally.

Philadelphia put runners at the corners with one out in the ninth, but Jeurys Familia finished the three-hitter for his second save.

First baseman Wilmer Flores, who had just entered as a pinch-hitter, leaned over the dug-out railing to make a nice grab of Scott Kingery’s foul popup for the second out. Pinch-hitter Andrew Knapp grounded out to end it.

Harvey struck out five, walked one and refused a jacket on the bases after his leadoff single in the third. The only hit he permit-ted was a leadoff single by Rhys Hoskins in the second.

AMERICAN LEAGUE Royals 1, Tigers 0

DETROIT — Jake Junis took a shutout into the eighth inning, and the Kansas City Royals beat the Detroit Tigers 1-0 for their first victory of the season.

Jorge Soler, who still doesn’t have a major league hit since July 2, drove in the game’s only run with a sacrifice fly in the second.

Junis (1-0) allowed three hits in seven-plus innings.

Matthew Boyd (0-1) was sharp for

the Tigers, allowing a run and four hits in six innings.

Blue Jays 14, White Sox 5

TORONTO — Josh Donaldson and Aledmys Diaz each hit a two-run homer, and the Toronto Blue Jays routed the Chicago White Sox 14-5 for their fourth consecutive victory.

Donaldson went 2 for 4 with three RBIs. He also went deep in Monday’s night’s 4-2 victory over Chicago. Diaz had three hits before leaving after six innings because of back spasms.

The Blue Jays have hit at least one home run in each of their first six games.

Avisail Garcia, Tim Anderson and Yolmer Sanchez hit solo home runs for the White Sox. Chicago has 12 home runs over its first four games.

NATIONAL LEAGUE Braves 13, Nationals 6ATLANTA — Freddie Freeman and

Preston Tucker each hit a three-run homer, and the Atlanta Braves handed Washington its first loss with a 13-6 victory over Bryce Harper and the Nationals.

Freeman and Tucker each deliv-ered a big blow as Atlanta scored four times in each of the first two innings. Tucker’s drive in the first against A.J. Cole reached the restaurant behind the right-field seats, and Freeman cleared the wall in right-center in the second.

Washington’s three-run first inning marked the fifth time in five games the Nationals handed a lead to their start-ing pitcher. But Cole (0-1) allowed 10 runs and 10 hits in 3 2/3 innings, perhaps endangering his hold on the No. 5 spot in the rotation.

INTERLEAGUE Red Sox 4,

Marlins 2, 13 inn.MIAMI — Hanley Ramirez hit a two-

run double with two out in the 13th in-ning, and another night of stingy pitching helped the Boston Red Sox extend their winning streak to five games by beating the Miami Marlins 4-2.

Mookie Betts singled with one out in the 13th off Tayron Guerrero (0-1) and advanced on a groundout. Following an intentional walk to Andrew Benin-tendi, Ramirez lined his third extra-base hit of the season.

Heath Hembree (1-0) allowed one hit in two innings to help the Red Sox (5-1) to their best start since 2006.

Mariners 6, Giants 4SAN FRANCISCO — Mitch Hani-

ger hit a two-run single, Kyle Seager also singled in a run in Seattle’s big first inning, and the Mariners spoiled the San Francisco Giants’ home opener with a 6-4 win.

Marco Gonzales (1-0) allowed three runs and six hits in 6 1/3 innings.

Joe Panik hit a solo homer and Evan Longoria added a two-run shot for the Giants, the first with his new team.

Ty Blach (1-1), filling in for injured ace Madison Bumgarner, was done after 4 1/3 innings having allowed 10 hits and six runs.

“It died a soldier’s death,” he said of his lumber.

Fans rewarded Gregorius with a pair of curtain calls — he said

they were his first in New York — after his second career multi-homer game.

“Judge was telling me to go out there,” Gregorius said.

New York improved to 3-2 under Boone, who took over when Joe Girardi was fired after a de-cade in charge.

“I like when the big boy doesn’t get any and we’re able to score 11, because there’s going to be a lot of days when we hop on his back,” Boone said.

Tampa Bay has lost four straight since beating Boston in its opener.

Patriots trade deep threat Cooks to Rams for pickBOSTON — Tom Brady will be without

one of his top receivers from last season after the Patriots traded deep threat Brandin Cooks to the Rams on Tuesday for Los Angeles’ first-round draft pick, 23rd overall.

In the deal, New England also sends a fourth-round choice to the Rams, who give the Patriots a sixth-rounder.

Cooks, 24, was New Orleans’ first-round selection in 2014 and played three seasons for the Saints. He was acquired 13 months ago by New England for a first-rounder and other picks, and made 65 receptions for 1,082 yards and seven touchdowns in his lone season with the Patriots.

Cooks is entering the fifth year of his rookie contract and could become a free agent after the 2018 season.

“It was a little different this time around. It started off a little rough for us,” Lecanto head coach David Logue said. “We didn’t get down on our-selves. We kept fighting back, and Cole Mann came up and had a huge night for us.

“That’s the first (homer) he’s hit in his career. We’ve been waiting. We’ve seen it time and time again. He hits them all day long at practice. He can put a tee at home plate and hit it over center field off a tee. So he’s got the power and for him to do that at that time to give us the lead, it was big-time. It was definitely big-time.”

Citrus mounted a two-out rally in the top of the first inning, breaking open the scoring on a two-run single by Tyler Price.

In the bottom half, the Panthers got one back when Mann’s single to cen-ter was misplayed in the outfield, al-lowing Seth Stockburger to race home.

A sacrifice fly to left by Max Mar-tone followed by Joel McHugh’s run-scoring single added two more for the ’Canes in the top of the second.

But it fell apart for the visitors in the bottom of the inning. The first four Lecanto batters reached base, thanks to a single, two walks and a hit by pitch, as Brandon Dirosa was plunked with the sacks full to plate a run.

After a strikeout, Chris Dirosa lifted a fly ball to left for another sac fly, cutting the deficit to 4-3 and bring-ing Mann into the batter’s box with two away.

That’s when he launched a ball that

landed over the centerfield fence, and just like that the Panthers went in front, 6-4.

They tacked on two more in the fourth, on singles by Chris Dirosa and Joey Caggiano. Citrus scored twice in the fifth on a double down the right-field line by Cody Cyr, but for the most part Lecanto starter Coby Howatineck settled down, going six innings and handing the lead to Shawn Host. The tall southpaw struck out the side around a two-out walk to close it out in the seventh.

“They took advantage of walks, hit by pitches and then they had a couple magnificently huge hits,” Citrus head coach Brandon DeRespiris said. “Credit to the third baseman, Cole (Mann); every time he came up to bat he hit the ball real hard. And the rest of their lineup saw pitches early, got ahead in good hitter’s counts and hit the ball hard, too; credit to their en-tire lineup.

“We kind of had the same recipe as they did early in the game. We took advantage of some fielding mis-takes on their part. A couple walks, a couple big hits by us, and then we just kind of got away from the game plan.”

Mann finished 3-for-3 and was in-tentionally walked in his final at-bat. Stockburger was 2-for-3 with a hit by pitch, stole two bases and scored twice.

“Hopefully we get on a little bit of a roll. We have been struggling. We had lost a lot on the road,” Logue said. “Start swinging the bats a little bit is key, I think. Our pitchers have done a great job for us all season but we need to start giving them some production. I think if we do that and we start com-ing together that way, we’ll be all right.”

BUFFALO, N.Y.

C ellphones are still absent from most U.S. schools but new data shows them steadily gaining acceptance as administrators

bow to parents’ wishes to keep tabs on their kids and teachers find ways to work them into lessons.

The percentage of K-12 public schools that prohibited cellphone use was about 66 percent in 2015-16, down from more than 90 percent in 2009-10, according to data from a survey con-ducted by the National Center for Edu-cation Statistics. Among high schools, the shift over the same period was es-

pecially striking — dropping from 80 percent with bans to 35 percent.

The nation’s largest school system, New York City, is among those that have abandoned strict bans, which had some students paying $1 a day to store phones in specialty trucks parked nearby before heading into school. Mayor Bill de Blasio fulfilled a cam-paign pledge when he lifted the ban in 2015, saying it would help parents stay in touch with their children.

Phones have offered a lifeline be-tween students and the outside world during recent school emergencies. As a gunman rampaged through Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, on Feb. 14, students used cellphones to text their parents,

call 911 and to record and share their horror.

The survey numbers released last week don’t surprise Liz Kolb, an edu-cation technologies professor at the University of Michigan who has stud-ied cellphones in schools since around 2004. At that time, phones were off lim-its in virtually every district, she said. That began to change as more stu-dents, as young as age 10, began carry-ing them.

“We’ve seen a lot of schools say, well, I’m not going to fight the tidal wave of parents coming at me that are upset that their child can’t have the cell-phone in school,” Kolb said.

Associated PressIn this March 13, 2014, file photo, Hartselle High School students Lissa Blagburn and Brantlee Wright use an iPhone as they work on a networked lesson in Spanish class in Hartselle, Ala. Cellphones are still absent from most U.S. schools, but new data shows them steadily gaining acceptance as administrators bow to parents’ wishes to keep tabs on their kids and teachers find ways to work them into lessons.

Inspired by their upbringing in the Midwest, Spilios is known for assembling found objects into 3D horses and girls, while Randle focuses on outdoor rooms and nature motivated by her frequent relocation throughout her childhood. Spilios graduated from Tru-man State University with a

degree in elementary educa-tion, and Randle graduated from Eastern Michigan Uni-versity with a fine arts and art education degree. Together, they have found their art to be intuitive and playful by com-bining ordinary and disparate objects into newfound whole-ness. The exhibit is free and may be viewed Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. It is made possible by the College of Central Florida Foundation.

This scholarship was estab-lished by the CD as a result of two members’ compassion for a young, Native American woman, working for them as a laundry lady. “Whitecloud” or Whitefeather” wanted to be-come a nurse but could not afford the $25 tuition for one full year of training in the edu-cational program. The organi-zation committed the funds for her education in the first year of the program. Her success-ful completion prompted the National Society to give her a second $25 “scholarship.” They then established the Na-tive American Nursing Schol-arship.

Seven Rivers students stage STEM ExpoSeven Rivers Christian School held

its first STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics)

Expo on Tuesday, March 20, from 4-7 p.m. The STEM Expo is an event that gives students the opportunity to re-search and experiment on a topic and present findings to their peers and the community.

The science section involves all ninth- and 11th-grade students and the 12th-grade integrated science students. The 12th-graders presented their project on food preservation. The chemistry and biology students were free to select

their topics and this involved carrying out research, surveys and experiments. Some of the topics included smoking and the respiratory system, which dia-per is best for a baby, how much bacte-ria does food accumulate from the “five-second rule,” etc.

The robotics middle school and high school students were challenged to en-gineer a project from start to finish, put-ting together an engineering notebook to document the journey from the incep-tion of the idea and throughout the de-sign, building and programming process if applicable. Some projects were Lego

Mindstorms robots, some were Rasp-berry Pi driven, and some were con-structed completely free of electronics.

Teachers also are taking ad-vantage of the technology at a time when many districts are spending millions of dollars to give students access to tablets or laptop computers and their countless academic apps and programs, she said.

“There are teachers who have found that having the cell-phone is like having a com-puter in your pocket, so it’s a way to have another learning tool at the disposal of the chil-dren that isn’t necessarily cost-ing the district more money,” she said.

Students might download a dictionary app for English or use Google Translate in foreign language classes. Other apps, like Kahoot!, connect to the classroom’s smart board and allow students to compete in educational trivia.

Still, some school districts are moving in the opposite di-rection. The school board in Mansfield City, Ohio, last year tightened its policy, requiring the devices be turned off and out of sight in classrooms un-less the teacher says otherwise.

“The cellphones were a dis-traction,” Superintendent Brian Garverick said. “When you have a device with the ca-pabilities of an iPhone, for ex-ample — and it’s not just in our

district, it’s everywhere — you see an increase in cheating, you see an increase in texting during class.”

In Connecticut, Seymour High School Principal Jim Fre-und said despite teachers’ best efforts to limit cellphone use to lunch and other non-instruc-tional times, students were still playing games or on social media when they shouldn’t have been.

“I don’t think they had the maturity level to control it,” Freund said.

The school imposed a strict ban in December. Since then, students have reported getting more work done in study hall and the cafeteria has grown louder as students talk to one

another more, he said.“I will never go back — ever

— to allowing the use of cell-phones,” Freund said.

Even in schools that have lifted bans, administrators and experts say, the policies for use vary widely.

“You see districts struggling with, now that we’ve lifted the ban, how do we manage this and create policy so that it isn’t distracting but it is still a useful communication tool or useful learning tool,” said Kolb, au-thor of “Toys to Tools: Connect-ing Student Cell Phones to Education.” Even within schools, she’s seen cellphones create tensions between teach-ers who allow them in class and those who don’t.

New York City’s policy em-powers each school to set terms for their use, while the Depart-ment of Education’s written policy includes broad guide-lines, including that they not be turned on or used during quiz-zes or tests, or during fire or other emergency drills. Use in bathrooms and locker rooms is also off limits.

New York City parent Mona Davids said her son’s school re-quires phones be turned off in class, but she was happy the fourth-grader was allowed to carry it when his school bus broke down and made him late getting home.

“He let me know he’s on the bus,” she said. “That’s import-ant. It’s a safety issue.”

n American Legion Post 155 has been running its oratorical contests in Citrus County area high schools since 1950. Information packets with rules and entry forms for the Ameri-can Legion Oratorical Contest have been given to the guidance counselors of Crystal River, Lecanto and Seven Rivers Christian high schools, which are in the American Legion Post 155 area. All high school students (no matter what grade) — public, private, or home-schooled children — are eligible to enter. Scholarships are awarded to the winning contestants ranging from $100 to $18,000. The contest consists of an eight- to 10-minute prepared oration on some phase of the Constitution of the United States and a three- to five-minute assigned topic discourse on a particular article or amendment. The purpose of the American Legion’s High School Ora-torical Contest is to develop a deeper knowledge and appreciation of the Constitution of the United States on the part of high school stu-dents. Other objectives of the

contest include the development of leadership qualities, the ability to think and speak clearly and intelli-gently, and the preparation for ac-ceptance of the duties and responsibilities, the rights and privi-leges of American citizenship.

Mini Fact:Thomas Jefferson served as president from 1801 to 1809.

Next Week:Book awards

The United States’ third president, Thomas Jefferson, was born on April 13, 1743 — 275 years ago! Jefferson was more than just a president. His ideas and actions were important to the formation of our country. This week, The Mini Page learns more about this fascinating Founding Father.As a boy Thomas was born in the colony of Virginia at his family's home, Shadwell. He was the third-oldest of 10 children. When Thomas was just 2 years old, his father's friend William Randolph died. Thomas' father was asked to take care of Randolph's children, so the family moved to Randolph's plantation, Tuckahoe. They lived at Tuckahoe for seven years. Thomas' family was wealthy. His father had a library full of books, and his parents taught their children to enjoy music and dance. Thomas played the violin. But when he got tired of playing, he read his father's books. At 9 years old, Thomas went to live with a teacher, Rev. William Douglas, who taught him French, Latin and Greek. Thomas came to believe that education was more important than money or land.

Off to college Thomas left home for the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, when he was 17. He loved living in the Colonial capital of Virginia, where he gambled, danced and watched politics unfold. He graduated after just two years at college and went on to

study law with professor George Wythe. During that time, Thomas was invited to dinners and other events where educated, curious people met and talked about science, literature and politics. Jefferson hosted similar gatherings throughout his life, even during his time in the White House.

Entering politics Jefferson was elected to the Virginia House of Burgesses in 1769. This group was elected to make laws for the Colony. Although Jefferson owned and inherited slaves, he used his public office to try to reform, or change, slavery. In 1769, he proposed a law that would allow slave owners to free their servants. But his bill never became law.

Other interests Thomas Jefferson showed great interest in architecture, or the art and science of designing and building structures. He was also fond of gadgets, and he invented new ways to do things throughout his life. For example, Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence on a lap desk that he designed and had built. He linked his parlor doors with chains under the floor so that when one opened, the other would too.

His greatest work On April 19, 1775, the war between British troops and American Colonists began in Massachusetts. Two months later, Thomas Jefferson left his home, Monticello, and went to Philadelphia to serve in the Second Continental Congress, where statesmen talked about what to do about the war. Jefferson was not a speaker like Patrick Henry, but he listened and wrote well. In June 1776, the Congress decided a declaration of independence from Britain should be written. John Adams declared that Jefferson should do it. On July 4, 1776, the Congress approved Jefferson's Declaration of Independence, and the United States became a country.

Words that remind us of Thomas Jefferson are hidden in this puzzle. Some words are hidden backward, and some letters are used twice. See if you can find:

Farmers, beekeepers and scientists are worried about bees. Bees are disappearing around the world. Researchers think several factors may be contributing: Chemicals meant to kill other insects that eat crops could accidentally harm the bees. Development of wild areas, abandoned farms, growing crops without leaving habitat for wildlife, and growing gardens with flowers that are not friendly to pollinators contribute to poor nutrition for bees, making them less able to fend off diseases.

If you missed this year’s Egg-Stravaganza March 29, at the Central Ridge Library in Beverly Hills, you missed “egg-citing and egg-cellent” fun hosted by Sarah Lanthier, youth librarian.

The kids had such a good time; it showed on their happy faces.

There were many educational “Egg-Stravaganza” crafts to make as children moved from table to table creating bunny hats, bunny whiskers, tried their hand at stacking plastic eggs, balancing glitzy eggs on wooden dowels, shaking colorful eggs to find two eggs that match with similar sounds and more.

Later, Sarah Lanthier gave the children a color-coded chart to find colored eggs among the furni-ture and in between books in the youth library during the Easter

Egg Scavenger Hunt. When they found all the

required eggs, they received candy.

The children ranged from

1-year-olds to 9 years old.“We have about 30 plus children

here today,” said Lanthier. “It’s turned out so well, we will do it again next year,” she added.

Elizabeth Taylor said, “It is very strange ... that the years teach us patience; that the shorter our time, the greater our capacity for waiting.”

At the bridge table, it can pay to be patient when able to take a trick. Maybe partner can steer you in the right direction — as in this deal.

What should happen in three no-trump after West leads the

heart five: three, 10, king?There is that auction again —

still the world’s most common.Declarer starts with five top

tricks. He will obviously play on diamonds. But when should East take a trick with his ace? Usually he would do it when declarer is playing his last diamond, but that is impossible here. Regardless, with the spade ace as a dummy entry, there will be an instinct to take the first diamond and return the heart eight, hoping partner started with A-J-9-6-x. Here, though, that does not work well, South having nine winners.

East should wait until the third round to see what West discards. If he keeps all of his hearts, East should lead back that suit. Here, though, trick one told West that declarer has the top three hearts. So West should abandon hearts, pitching one or two of them. Then East should realize that he needs to attack another suit. Given the board, clubs is the ob-vious choice, and here works perfectly, giving the defenders one diamond and four clubs.

If you know you led the wrong suit at trick one, try to discard from it as quickly as possible — assuming you can afford to do so, of course.

8 p.m. on ^ (The Blacklist

When a related murder threatens the chance to bring Ian Garvey (guest star Jonny Coyne) to jus-tice, Red (James Spader) seeks the help of the Task Force in order to get the evidence needed to see justice done in the new episode “Anna-Gracia Duerte.” Aram and Samar (Amir Arison, Mozhan Marno) may make a

big leap in their personal re-lationship. Megan Boone and Harry Lennix also star.

9 p.m. on # %Black America Since MLK:

And Still I RiseIn the conclusion of the two-part miniseries, “Keep Your Head Up/Touch the Sky,” Henry Louis Gates Jr. charts the progress — and, in certain instances, lack thereof — of racial equality over the past half-century. Among those whose present-day views he seeks in citing examples from modern history are former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, television producer Shonda Rhimes and civil-rights activist and educator DeRay Mckesson.

9 p.m. on ) 4 <Modern Family

A visit by Gloria’s (Sofia Verga-ra) former boyfriend (guest star Gabriel Iglesias) makes Jay (Ed O’Neill) start to wonder if the man might be Manny’s father, given their strong resemblance to each other, in the new episode “Daddy Issues.” Phil (Ty Bur-

rell) wants to get just the right gift for Claire (Julie Bowen) for their anniversary. A school fight involving Lily (Aubrey Ander-son-Emmons) puts Mitch and Cam (Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Eric Stonestreet) in a tough spot.

9 p.m. on (BET) (PARMT)

I Am MLK Jr.Premiering on the 50th anni-versary of its main subject’s assassination, this new docu-mentary from filmmaker Derik Murray tells the story of Dr. Martin Luther King’s life and legacy through the contempo-rary prism of interviews with key figures who were part of King’s world, including civil rights-era activists such as the Rev. Jesse Jackson and U.S. Congressman John Lewis. Modern writers and celebrities including Van Jones, Nick Cannon and Shaun King also share their perspectives.

9 p.m. on (FOOD)

Iron Chef GauntletSeven outstanding chefs as-semble to see which of them deserves the prestigious title of

Iron Chef, as host Alton Brown returns with Season 2 of this exciting culinary competition. In “Resourcefulness,” the season premiere, the chefs are chal-lenged to use a single protein in as many ways as they can. Ulti-mately, two chefs fight to avoid elimination in a fish-themed Se-cret Ingredient Showdown. Judg-es Ching-He Huang and Iron Chef Geoffrey Zakarian decide which of the pair must go home.

9 p.m. on (SYFY)

The MagiciansSeason 3 of this sexy come-dy-fantasy may deal with the loss of magic, but it has conjured plenty of entertainment along the way. In tonight’s season finale, “Will You Play With Me?,” Julia (Stella Maeve) receives a tempting job offer, while most of the rest of the main characters — Quentin, Alice, Margo, Eliot, Josh, Kady and Penny (Jason Ralph, Olivia Taylor Dudley, Summer Bishil, Hale Appleman, Trevor Einhorn, Jade Tailor and Arjun Gupta) — find what they’ve been seeking.

Dear Annie: This is an issue I imagine many people are having. Some-

times my family members post things I disagree with online. Many times, I’ve found myself typing up a comment, only to de-cide against clicking the “sub-mit” button. I really don’t want to get into arguments with loved ones about politics, so I refrain from saying anything. I just talk to friends who already pretty much agree with me on the major is-sues. But that doesn’t seem right, ei-ther. Isn’t that part of why our country is so polar-ized right now? I feel that it’s my responsibility to have civilized discussions with people with whom I disagree so I might change their minds and they might change mine. Should I jump into these conversations and speak my mind or continue to keep quiet? Is sharing caring? — Unsure in Ohio

Dear Unsure: Respectfully debating ideas with differently minded folks is healthy and pos-itive. Of course, that’s not what anyone is doing on Facebook. Though there are always excep-tions, the vast majority of politi-cal “debate” on social media is an endless mudslinging contest in which everyone gets dirty and nobody wins. If you want to talk to your relatives about these is-sues, it’d be wiser to do so in person or at least over the phone so you can hear each oth-er’s tone of voice. But it would be wiser still to focus your en-ergy on effecting positive change in your community rather than on relatives’ minds that don’t want changing.

Dear Annie: I’m pretty sure that I’m “the other woman.” And no, I don’t mean the rom-com kind who gets to team up with Cameron Diaz and catch the bad guy in action. I mean the kind who third-wheels a relationship between a boy and his mother. I finally found a guy I am head over heels in love with, and he seems to feel the same way about me. But it was clearly too good to be true.

He is the only child of a single mother. At first, I thought she hated me, but then her sister let slip that I’m the favorite girl-friend so far. I realized that she just hates anyone who comes be-tween her and her son. And hon-estly, that’s the last thing I want to do. Annie, I would love to be close to the family of the man I love. How fantastic would it be to have an extra mom?! But I’ve tried, and she cannot stand me, and she cannot stand when he’s with me. She needs to know what he’s doing and conve-niently needs him to run er-rands for her or bring her sweets or otherwise be at her beck and call when he is with me. She controls every aspect of his life, and he is constantly apologizing to me on her behalf. It makes me frustrated. But I can’t take it out on him, because he’s not doing anything wrong.

To be honest, it’s starting to wear me down. But I also can’t say anything, as I know there’s nothing like the bond between a mother and her child. I would not even consider going to war, because I know that’s a battle I could not win. I’m afraid to con-front him — or her — but I fear for my own heart and sanity if I remain silent. I don’t want to make him choose, but how do I tell him to take action? — Mom-my’s Third Wheel

Dear Mommy’s Third Wheel: After printing a similar letter in the past, I heard from many readers who have dated men with controlling mothers. Their consensus: Until the man cuts the cord from Mom, any roman-tic relationship he has will be severely constricted. Some have even told me that this issue ended a marriage. I share all this not to scare you but to reas-sure you that yes, this is a big deal. And yes, you do have to talk to him about it. You’re not making him choose between the two of you. If she decides to frame it that way, that’s her issue. You’re simply asking him to set better boundaries. If he’s not sure where to begin, a book on this subject, such as “Adult Children of Emotionally Imma-ture Parents,” might offer some guidance. If he’s truly a match, he won’t let his mom’s unhealthy attachment destroy the connec-tion you have.
