School board approves final budget, millage

Citrus County School Board members voted in a final budget and millage rate Tuesday afternoon for their district.

In a 5-0 vote, the board approved a $255,373,844 allowance for the 2019-20 school year.

A total millage rate of 6.125 mills, which taxes Citrus County’s appraised worth of $11.07 billion, was also unanimously OK’d to help fund $49.16 million in operat-ing costs and $15.94 mil-lion in capital costs.

Board members also approved the final annual report for the 2018/19 fis-cal year, which put $1.09 million back in the district’s wallet, leaving $11.90 million in the gen-eral fund.

Estimated revenues for the new fiscal year’s gen-eral fund is $134.5 mil-lion, which includes a $8.29 million transfer from the capital fund.

This is expected to cover $139.99 million in total daily costs, which in-cludes $110 million in sal-aries and benefits, requiring $5.49 million to be pulled from the fund balance.

Out of an available $43.31 million, $24.66 million will be allo-cated towards capital projects this school year.

Residents will pay more for fire protection after a vote Tuesday by Citrus County commissioners.

The board voted 5-0 to increase the annual fee homeowners pay for fire services from $54 to $79.

Commissioners heard from residents who said they couldn’t afford the in-crease. However, they also said they consistently hear from the public that fire protection is a top priority.

Here’s the rundown:n What happened: Com-

missioners increased the annual fire assessment from $54 to $79.

n Why? The increase will pay for hiring more career firefighters, work toward opening the Her-nando station as a career station, prepare to build a new fire station on Car-dinal Street in anticipa-tion of need from the Suncoast Parkway, and

add advanced life sup-port to fire trucks.

The ALS program is being funded by a 0.01 mill increase in the fire prop-erty tax — about $6 for most homeowners, offi-cials said.

n Show of support: About 20 off-duty Citrus County firefighters wear-ing identical blue T-shirts attended Tuesday’s board meeting. None of them spoke during the public hearing.

n What they said: “The longest minutes are sit-ting there waiting for someone to arrive.” — Board Chairman Jeff Kin-nard, an Inverness chiropractor, referring to the times his office has had to call for emergency help for a patient

“We want fire, fire, fire.” — Commissioner Ron Kitchen Jr., on public com-ment support for fire ser-vices during his town hall meetings.

Water and sewer pipes are expen-sive, even if not connected to a home.

Owners of vacant property in neigh-borhoods with underground utilities are learning that after commissioners approved on Tuesday a “utility avail-ability” fee.

The annual fee works to about $50 a year for property owners that have water and sewer lines fronting their va-cant property.

Homeowners pay for the water/sewer lines as part of their monthly utility bills. Owners of vacant property urged commissioners to vote down the fee be-cause they receive no immediate benefit.

Robert Strader, of Sugarmill Woods, said he owns vacant lots on both sides of his house.

“This is charging people for no service, no impact on the system,” Strader said.

Commissioners, though, said having water and sewer immediately available

is a strong selling point for owners of vacant property.

“At some point someone is going to live on that vacant lot,” Commissioner Jimmie T. Smith said.

Commissioner Ron Kitchen Jr. agreed: “The utility is there for your use whether you use it or not.”

WASHINGTON — The propor-tion of Americans without health insurance edged up in 2018 — the first evidence from the govern-ment that coverage gains under President Barack Obama’s health care law might be eroding under President Donald Trump.

The Census Bureau also said in an annual report Tuesday that household income rose last year at its slowest pace in four years and finally matched its previous peak set in 1999. Median house-hold income increased 0.9% in 2018 to an inflation-adjusted $63,179, from $62,626 in 2017.

The data suggest that the cur-rent economic expansion, now the

longest on record at more than 10 years, is still struggling to provide widespread benefits to the U.S. population. Solid gains in house-hold incomes over the past four years have returned the median only to where it was two decades ago. And despite strong growth last year in the number of Ameri-cans working full time and year-round, the number of people with private health insurance re-mained flat.

The Census report found that 27.5 million people, 8.5% of the population, lacked health insur-ance coverage in 2018. That was an increase of 1.9 million unin-sured, or 0.5 percentage point.

One bright spot in the report was that the poverty rate fell for a fourth straight year to 11.8%, its

FORT LAUDERDALE — A Chinese business-woman knew an event she planned to attend at Presi-dent Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club had been canceled, but she still wanted to get onto the property and lied to Secret Service agents repeatedly to make that happen, a federal prosecutor told ju-rors during closing argu-ments Tuesday.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Rolando Garcia told the 10-woman, two-man jury that Yujing Zhang was told by her trip’s organizer al-most two weeks before she left Shanghai in March that the planned Chinese- American friendship event had been canceled and she demanded her $20,000 be refunded, show-ing she understood. Then when Zhang, 33, arrived at

the club, she falsely told a Secret Service agent she was there to use the pool, leading resort manage-ment to believe she was the daughter of a member and admit her, Garcia said.

He said prosecutors had proved that Zhang then lied to another agent, tell-ing him she was there for the friendship event she knew was not scheduled.

“The United States scored a touchdown in this case,” Garcia said.

Zhang, who represented herself, gave a brief clos-ing argument, telling the jury she paid to visit Mar-a-Lago and “I did nothing wrong.” She faces a possi-ble six-year prison sen-tence if convicted of trespassing and lying to a federal agent. Jury delib-erations will begin Wednesday morning.

During testimony ear-lier Tuesday, FBI linguist Catherine Chang testified

that text and voice mes-sages found on Zhang’s phone showed she signed a contract for the trip with a Chinese company in February to attend a March 30 event at Mar-a-Lago and get a photo with the president or a Trump family member. Such events have been orga-nized by Chinese groups during the president’s term and the photos are seen as a way to advance one’s career.

By mid-March, Zhang re-ceived texts saying the event was canceled, but was told she could attend an event with Bill and Hil-lary Clinton or with inves-tor Warren Buffett, though a photo with him would cost an additional $40,000, Chang testified. Zhang de-clined and demanded her money back from “Charles,” the organizer whom she only knew through text communications.

Rapper filmed part of video inside police station

MIAMI — Police in South Florida said they never gave permission for a rapper to film a portion of a video inside their lobby.

The video begins with IV Leo Little sitting on the ground next to a Broward Sheriff’s Of-fice patrol car with his hands seemingly handcuffed behind him. The scene then shifts to the Aventura Police Department’s lobby where he uses a racial slur in a song critical of police tactics involving black men.

He dances through the lobby and jumps on a desk with the agency’s logo prominently displayed.

Little recently posted the production, called “Bus,” on WorldStarHipHop’s Instagram account.

Police Maj. Michael Bentolila told the Miami Herald Little didn’t damage property and wasn’t charged with a crime. They’ve since secured the lobby, requiring visitors to buzz in.

Turtle attacked with spear in Florida Keys

MARATHON — Officials said a large green turtle has been found with a spear shot into its neck in the Florida Keys.

The 150-pound turtle was found Saturday off Key Largo.

WTSP news reported that veterinarians at The Turtle Hospital in Marathon performed emergency surgery to remove the spear. X-rays showed the spear spanned more than half of the turtle’s body.

Veterinarians at the hospital said the turtle, named Splinter, is in stable condition.

The spear has been saved as evidence for state wildlife investigators looking into the attack.

A turtle was previously found dead from a spear wound in Biscayne National Park in June.

Sea turtles are a protected species.

Black bear bites woman’s ankle in gated communityLAKEWOOD — Officials said a Florida

woman was bitten on the ankle by a black bear outside her home.

A Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission news release said she was at-tacked early Tuesday morning at a Long-wood gated community.

FWC spokesman Chad Weber said she had let her dog out shortly after midnight when the dog encountered a female bear with two cubs. The woman suffered an ankle injury that wasn’t considered life-threatening. The dog wasn’t hurt.

Weber said officers were still investigating how the woman was attacked.

Wildlife officials were working to capture the bear.

The Springs gated community near the Wekiva River Conservation Area has long had a bear problem. The Orlando Sentinel reported the homeowners association voted in 2017 to buy bear-proof garbage cans for all 879 homes.

School finds bearded dragon in student’s backpack

PANAMA CITY — A Florida school district said an unusual passenger was found in a student’s backpack.

In a Facebook post, Bay County School District officials said they found a bearded dragon in the middle school student’s back-pack Monday.

The school said they put the reptile in a box until an adult could take him home. The student said they brought the lizard, named Jango, to school because they didn’t want him to be sad home alone all day.

Teen charged in sister’s shooting death

TALLAHASSEE — A Florida teen has been charged as an adult in his sister’s fatal shooting.

The Tallahassee Democrat reported that Leon County prosecutors charged the 16-year-old boy with manslaughter as an adult on Tuesday. He also faces firearm pos-session and evidence tampering charges, according to authorities.

Tallahassee police said the teen was ar-rested Aug. 25 in connection with the death his 15-year-old sister a day earlier. Officials said the brother had called 911 and initially reported that the sister killed herself.

When the teen was confronted with con-flicting statements, investigators said, the brother and another witness revealed that the teen shot his sister by accident. Detectives said the teen had been pointing the gun at his sister and another person when it dis-charged, striking the girl in the head.

Teen arrested in plot to have someone kill parents

UMATILLA — Authorities said they’ve ar-rested a Florida high school student on charges of trying to find someone to kill her parents with $1,300 she took from their debit card.

The Orlando Sentinel reported the murder-for-hire plot came to light after a student at a nearby high school told a Lake County Sheriff’s school resource officer the 17-year-old Umatilla High School student had paid another friend “a lot of money” to kill her parents.

The girl was arrested Monday night and charged with two counts of criminal solicita-tion for murder.

Investigators said she stole her parents’ debit card and used $100 to buy cocaine. She gave $400 to a friend to find someone to kill her parents.

Prosecutor: Woman lied to get into Mar-a-Lago

Buster thompsonStaff writer

At a first of two public hearings, Crystal River City Council on Monday unani-mously voted in a new ten-tative millage rate and respective revenues and costs for the city and its Community Redevelop-ment Agency, or CRA.

Council’s final vote on their finances for the 2019/20 fiscal year will be on Sept. 23.

No citizens or council members commented during Monday’s public hearings. City officials de-liberated over these num-bers at budget workshops in April and August.

City Manager Ken Frink explained to council mem-bers prior to their vote that an increasing list of proj-ects is behind the tentative 4.8 millage rate, a 0.30 in-crease in mills from this fis-cal year.

With a taxable value of roughly $492 million, Crys-tal River’s new millage rate us expected take in $5.1 million for its general fund.

Frink said the $351,275 increase in the general fund from this fiscal year is from employing an IT spe-cialist and a staff member for the planning depart-ment, incurring a cost bump for Citrus County Sheriff ’s Office law ser-vices and paying for code rewrites.

A savings transfer of $76,705 will also have to make up the general fund’s balance because of a short-age in expected revenues.

Crystal River staff is

expecting $38.67 million in total revenue from tax and department sources, and $28.49 million in expenses, netting the city $10.17 million.

Because of a revenue shortfall of $21.15 million and $5.72 million less in budgeted expenses, this fiscal year is projected to put the city in the red for $3.55 million, according to a budget recap report.

Frink said Crystal Riv-er’s CRA, which council members chair, and its proposed $4.4 million bud-get — a $1.12 million raise — will help shoulder costs for the Riverwalk’s board-walk and city’s future town square.

City manager updates council

on RiverwalkFrink urged council on

Monday to let their Flor-ida legislators know more money is needed for Crys-tal River to pay for the sec-ond and final phase of its Riverwalk.

It’s one of the city’s many state funding requests.

If lawmakers approve it, the $2 million would go to-wards the total, $6.2 million price tag of the Riverwalk. Crystal River has already committed $2.5 million to the overall project.

Frink said he’s still wait-ing for a few impacted property owners along the boardwalk’s proposed route on the northern shores of Cedar Cove to formalize access and de-velopment agreements with the city.

After that, the various state and federal agencies

will take between six to eight months to issue permits.

Once permits are OK’d, Crystal River takes them to the U.S. Treasury De-partment to acquire the $1.7 million in monies from the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

Frink said construction on the waterside section is expected to begin in the winter of 2021.

After a suggestion by Councilman Ken Brown, Frink said he’d talk with property owners to see if temporary pathways could

connect the dead-end sidewalks of the River-walks landward section, opened last March.

Council also:n Voted 5-0 to close

southbound lanes of U.S. 19 — from Citrus Ave-nue to Southeast Paradise Point — for the Citrus County Chamber of Com-merce’s Christmas Parade on Dec. 7.

This was the third time council discussed this year’s route, which was once proposed to detour regular traffic onto North-east Eighth Avenue, which

city staff and sheriff ’s ad-visers later agreed couldn’t accommodate larger vehicles.

n Voted 5-0 for the city to swap a 2,500-square-foot piece of land with a simi-lar parcel that’s part of 565 NW First Ave., owned by the estate of Sylvia Longley. It’s the city’s in-tent to turn that property into parking and access for business along South Citrus Avenue.

Justice Michael Gurrola was ar-rested Monday and charged with one count of attempted second-de-gree murder following a shooting at the 5000 block of East Live Oak Lane in Inverness.

Gurrola, 20, lives on Edgewater Lane in The Villages and is being held on $50,000 bond at the Cit-rus County Detention Facility.

The Sheriff ’s Office re-leased more details Tuesday about the shooting, which took place around 2:30 p.m. Monday.

The report said sheriff ’s depu-ties responded to the Inverness home after getting a call about a drive-by shooting.

The victim, Tyler Miller, 18, was

shot in the leg but the injury was not life threatening.

Miller told deputies he was in-side the house with two friends when he heard a vehicle rev up outside. When he looked out the

window, Miller told depu-ties it appeared the driver was taking pictures of the house with a cellphone. Miller said he went out-side to confront the driver, taking a large liquor bottle with him.

Miller told deputies he yelled at the driver and asked what he was doing

and the man drove away toward U.S. 41. But the report said then he made a U-turn back to Miller’s home and as he drove past, Miller said he threw the bottle at the ve-hicle, believed to be a Dodge Charger. Miller said the driver kept going past him and he started

returning to his home. But the driver made a second U-turn and came back toward Miller again, the report said.

Miller said the suspect then fired several rounds from a handgun at him while he was standing in the driveway. Miller was hit in the right calf and made it back inside his home. Emergency Medical Services called trauma alert and transported Miller to Ocala Regional Medical Center.

Deputies apprehended the sus-pect, later identified as Gurrola, on U.S. 41, near the vacant Kmart building at the Inverness Regional Shopping Center.

Gurrola at first denied involve-ment in the incident but later told deputies he fired the weapon but was not trying to kill anyone.

Florida plant squeezed, no more juice processingmike schneiDer

Associated Press

ORLANDO — One of only a handful of orange juice-processing plants left in Florida stopped processing fruit Tuesday in yet another sign of the havoc that imported juice, diseases and Hurricane Irma have had on the for-tunes of the state’s signa-ture crop.

Officials at U.S. Sugar- owned Southern Gardens Citrus announced the end of processing at its plant in southwest Florida a month before the start of the next growing season in Florida.

Southern Gardens will have its fruit processed at other plants. It will bring the juice back for storage and then distribution to its customers. Shipping, growing and research op-erations also will continue at the plant, company offi-cials said.

Company officials said the plant was built a quar-ter century ago to process 20 million boxes of fruit, but it only processed 6.5 million boxes of citrus

last year.Like many in Florida’s

citrus industry, Southern Gardens has been hurt by a flood of imported orange juice from Brazil and Mex-ico, company officials said.

Citrus diseases and Hurricane Irma in 2017 caused drops in the num-ber of citrus Florida pro-duces and that void has

been filled with juice im-ported from Brazil and Mexico. Most of Florida’s oranges are used to pro-duce juice.

“Our processing plant was built to efficiently pro-duce much more juice than we can sell due to the current market situation, something that, unfortu-nately, has become com-mon throughout the

Florida industry,” South-ern Gardens president Dan Casper said in a statement.

Florida Citrus Mutual, the industry’s advocacy group, said Florida now has seven major citrus processing plants left in the state, down from around 30 processors two decades ago. Those plants are owned by Tropicana,

Florida Natural, Peace River Citrus and Cutrale Citrus Juices.

“It’s all in the numbers,” said Andrew Meadows, a spokesman for Florida Cit-rus Mutual. “The size of our crop has decreased dramat-ically over the last 12 to 15 years. These plants need fruit to justify the expense, and we’re not just produc-ing the amount of fruit that is needed for the capacity.”

For more than a dozen years, Florida’s citrus in-dustry has been battling two devastating diseases, citrus greening and citrus canker, that have drasti-cally cut fruit production. Hurricane Irma in 2017 also devastated citrus groves at the beginning of the 2017-2018 growing season.

Florida produced 71.6 million boxes of or-anges during the last sea-son. It was a welcome increase from the 45 mil-lion boxes produced in the 2017-2018 growing season, but well below the 169.7 million boxes of or-anges produced a decade ago.

Consider making changes that will promote better relationships and more opportunities. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Don’t let someone new waltz into your life and take charge. Rely on friends who have never disappointed you. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Em-brace change. Don’t let someone use emotional tactics to hold you back. Re-lationships should be supportive, not restrictive. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Keeping an open mind doesn’t mean that you must always do as someone asks. Listen to suggestions, but do what feels right.Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — If you keep plugging away, you will make a difference. Protect yourself against people who are trying to take advan-tage of you financially. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — An op-portunity is only worth looking at if it’s something you want in the first place. Don’t feel bad taking a pass when the benefit is for someone other than you. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Con-sider what you need and what you don’t. You’ll ease stress if you give away the things you no longer require. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Check-ing out new possibilities will boost your morale. You’ll have to see for yourself if you want to make a move. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Look, see and do. As long as you do your due diligence, you can turn your objec-tive into a reality. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Position yourself to work hard and get things done. Refuse to let anyone sidetrack you or tempt you.Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Do things your way. Your unique nature will attract interest from someone you’ve been trying to get to know better. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Making a change based on your emotions will not solve a problem or improve a situa-tion. Distancing yourself from a quan-dary will help you gain perspective.

Today’s HOROSCOPES

Today is Wednesday, Sept. 11, the 254th day of 2019. There are 111 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight:On Sept. 11, 2001, America

faced an unprecedented day of ter-ror as 19 al-Qaida members hi-jacked four passenger jetliners, sending two of the planes smashing into New York’s World Trade Cen-ter, one into the Pentagon and the fourth into a field in western Penn-sylvania, resulting in nearly 3,000 deaths.

On this date:In 1936, Boulder Dam (now

Hoover Dam) began operation as President Franklin D. Roosevelt pressed a key in Washington to sig-nal the startup of the dam’s first hy-droelectric generator.

In 1941, groundbreaking took place for the Pentagon.

In 1967, the comedy-variety pro-gram “The Carol Burnett Show” premiered on CBS.

In 1970, Ford Motor Co. intro-duced the Pinto, a compact that would become caught up in contro-versy over the safety of its gas tank. (The Pinto was discontinued in 1980.)

Ten years ago: On his first 9/11 anniversary as president, Barack Obama urged Americans to come together in service just as they united after the terrorist attacks.

Five years ago: In a joint state-ment, 10 Arab states promised to “do their share” to fight Islamic State militants, but NATO member Turkey refused to join in.

One year ago: About 1.7 million people in three states were warned to get out of the way of Hurricane Florence, which was taking dead aim on the Carolinas.

Today’s Birthdays: Rock singer- musician Tommy Shaw (Styx) is 66. Singer Harry Connick Jr. is 52. Rap-per Ludacris is 42.

Thought for Today: “A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson, American poet and essayist (1803-1882).

Downton Abbey in the British fog? Catch up here

NEW YORK — Does it feel like forever since we lost the style, splendor and scandals of “Downton Abbey?”

Well, dust off your jewels and put on the kettle because the twists and turns at your favorite Yorkshire estate in early 20th-century Britain are back with a feature film, to the delight of fans and “Masterpiece,” among others involved in creat-ing the show.

So, what to do about all those delicious details that may have faded after the six-season, upstairs-downstairs series ended in 2015 in the United Kingdom and the following year in the United States. We’ve got you covered with this guide to Down-ton’s past, but first a quick catch up on the cast.

Key aristocrats and their orig-inal actors are back, including the Crawleys, of course. Hugh Bonneville is Robert Crawley, the 7th Earl of Grantham, and Elizabeth McGovern is Cora, his countess. They have three daughters, including their el-dest, the opinionated Lady Mary, played by Michelle Dockery.

Maggie Smith reprises her role as the wry matriarch Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham. So does her frenemy, Isobel Crawley Grey, played by Penelope Wilton.

Below stairs, Joanne Frog-gatt remains Anna May Bates, lady’s maid to Mary, and Bren-dan Coyle returns as her self-less hubby, John Bates.

There are newcomers on the big screen, but we’ll get to that later.

The PBS series concludes on New Year’s Eve, heading into 1926. The rich are selling off their estates in the crash and the middle class is ascend-ing, but there’s even bigger news: Anna procures a shiny silver electric hair dryer at Mary’s request. You know, be-cause progress. And it’s a beaut. Daisy, the assistant cook, can’t resist it, making a mess of her hair.

In other Anna news: She gives birth in Mary’s bedroom, on New Year’s Eve during Edith Craw-ley’s wedding, no less, as the series winds down.

Sadly, Mr. Carson (the es-tate’s top dog as butler) has “the palsy,” which did in the careers of his dad and granddad. He agrees to emeritus status, letting the villainous Thomas Barrow take over.

Leading up to her wedding, Lady Edith (the former spinster and one of Mary’s sisters) is sur-prised at The Ritz by Bertie Pel-ham, who had previously broken

her heart. The arrangements for them to meet were an act of rare kindness on the part of Mary for Edith after years of rocky rivalry between the two.

Pelham begs Edith’s forgive-ness before the show concludes with their nuptials. First, Edith comes clean about her daughter, Marigold, who was born out of wedlock, and fends off the initial “damaged goods” qualms of Bertie’s judgy mother.

“Edith is going to be happy. Just think about that,” gushes her American mom, Cora.

“Hoorah,” rejoices Lord Grantham.

The new film is set in 1927, hinged on a visit to Downton by King George V (Simon Jones) and Queen Mary (Geraldine James). It will be released Sept. 13 in the UK and Sept. 20 in the US.

There are some other new faces, including David Haig as the king’s butler and Max Brown in an undisclosed role.

— From wire reports

Associated PressElizabeth McGovern, left, as Lady Grantham and Hugh Bonneville, as Lord Grantham, are shown in “Downton Abbey.” The highly-anticipated film continuation of the “Masterpiece” series that wowed audiences for six seasons, will be released Sept. 13, in the United Kingdom and on Sept. 20 in the United States.

lowest point since 2001. The proportion of households led by women that were poor reached a record low.

“While any reduction in poverty or increase in income is a step in the right direction, most families have just barely made up the ground lost over the past decade,” said Elise Gould, senior economist at the liberal Economic Policy Institute.

Though income inequality narrowed last year, it remains near record levels reached in 2017. Last year, the richest 5% of the U.S. population cap-tured 23% of household income.

Still, steady hiring and an unemployment rate at 3.7%, near a five-decade low, have helped raise earnings for lower-paid workers employed by restaurants, warehouses, shipping firms and other sec-tors of the economy. This trend has contributed to a de-cline in poverty.

On health insurance, more people were covered by Medi-care, reflecting the aging of baby boomers. But Medicaid coverage declined. The num-ber of uninsured children also rose. And there were more un-insured adults ages 35-64.

Though the increase in the number of uninsured Ameri-cans was modest, it could be a turning point, the first real sign that coverage gains under Obama could be at least partly reversed. This year, the num-ber of uninsured could rise again. That’s because a previ-ous Republican-led Congress repealed fines under the Af-fordable Care Act that had been intended to prod people to sign up for coverage.

The Census report is sure to play into 2020 presidential

politics. Health care is the leading issue for Democrats, with proposals including Sen. Bernie Sanders’ call for a gov-ernment-run system to cover everyone and former Vice President Joe Biden’s idea for expanding Obama’s law and adding a government plan open to virtually anyone.

Democrats are laying the blame on Trump, long accus-ing his administration of de-liberately undermining Obama’s health care law. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday blamed Trump’s “cruel health care sabotage” for the rising number of un-insured. In a statement, the California Democrat as-serted that Trump’s ongoing efforts to erode Obama’s law have forced Americans to “live in constant fear of an accident or injury that could spell financial ruin for their families.”

Trump spent most of his first year in office trying un-successfully to get a Republi-can Congress to repeal the Affordable Care Act. He is now asking a federal appeals court to overturn it as uncon-stitutional. The president also slashed the program’s sign-up season ad budget and scaled back funding to help people navigate the enrollment pro-cess. Trump also removed a subsidy for insurers, thereby triggering a jump in premiums.

Yet ACA enrollment has held fairly steady, with about 20 million people covered by its mix of subsidized private plans and a Medicaid expan-sion for low-income individu-als. The Census report found that Medicaid coverage de-clined by 0.7% from 2017.

The Trump administration has also rolled out some regu-latory changes of its own in-tended to expand coverage. These include “association health plans” for small

businesses, short-term plans for individuals and new op-tions for employers to help fi-nance workers’ coverage. These changes are fairly re-cent, though, and it’s unclear what impact they might even-tually have.

Changes in how Census con-ducts its income survey have made historical comparisons difficult. Still, household in-comes largely declined for the first five years after the reces-sion ended, before taking a sharp turn up in 2015, when they rose 5.1%. Incomes jumped 3.1% the next year but then slowed to 1.8% in 2017 and barely rose last year.

The economic expansion hasn’t noticeably narrowed the income gap between white and African-American house-holds. The median income for black households is $41,700; for whites, it’s $70,600.

Women earned nearly 82 cents for every dollar earned by men, a figure little changed from the previous year and up just 4 cents from 2007, when the Great Recession began. (That figure compares both men and women with full-time, year-round jobs.)

Many economists consider the poverty rate an antiquated measure that is based mostly on food costs and that doesn’t reflect all government benefit programs.

A second calculation, known as the “supplemental poverty measure,” includes health care expenses and shows that 13.1% of Ameri-cans are in poverty, essen-tially unchanged from 2017. This measure also includes the effects of government ben-efit programs like Social Se-curity and food stamps. The EPI estimates that Social Se-curity kept 27.3 million people out of poverty in 2018, while food stamps kept 3.1 million above the supplemental pov-erty line.

WASHINGTON — Trump ad-ministration officials on Tuesday defended their plan to Congress for ending government control of mortgage finance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, clashing with Democratic senators on whether the change would raise home borrowing costs and neglect lower-income homeowners.

The two finance companies nearly collapsed in the financial crisis 11 years ago and were bailed out at a cost to taxpayers of nearly $190 billion.

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Car-son, along with regulator Mark Ca-labria, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, testified before the Senate Banking Com-mittee on the plan for returning Fannie and Freddie to private ownership. The companies have become profitable again and have fully repaid their bailouts. Under the plan, their profits would no longer go to the Treasury but would be used to build up their capital bases as a cushion against possible future losses.

Fannie and Freddie together guarantee roughly half of the $10 trillion U.S. home loan market. They don’t make home loans. They buy them from banks and other lenders, and bundle them into se-curities, guarantee them against default and sell them to Wall Street investors.

The administration promises in the plan to preserve homebuyers’

access to 30-year, fixed-rate mort-gages, which are the pillar of hous-ing finance.

The plan “would preserve the longstanding government support of the 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage loan,” Mnuchin said. “That sup-port, however, should be explicitly defined, tailored and paid for.”

Mnuchin acknowledged that for prices of 30-year mortgages to re-main close to current market lev-els, some level of government support would be needed. He said Congress should authorize an ex-plicit, paid-for guarantee “backed by the full faith and credit of the federal government” for qualified mortgages.

The administration initially looked to Congress for legislation to overhaul the housing finance system and return the companies to private shareholders. But Con-gress hasn’t acted, and now offi-cials say they will take administrative action for the core change, ending the Fannie and Freddie conservatorships.

“The Trump plan will make mortgages more expensive and harder to get,” said Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio, the committee’s se-nior Democrat.

A flashpoint came over the issue of affordable housing. Fannie and Freddie currently have mandated targets for helping low-income and minority borrowers to buy homes.

A change outlined in the plan, which would have to be approved by Congress, would replace Fannie and Freddie’s affordable housing goals with more “tailored support” for first-time homebuyers and low- and moderate-income borrowers.

NEW YORK — Robert Frank, a giant of 20th- century photography whose seminal book “The Americans” captured sin-gular, candid moments of the 1950s and helped free picture-taking from the boundaries of clean light-ing and linear composi-tion, has died. He was 94.

Frank died Monday in Inverness, on Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, ac-cording to his second wife, June Leaf. The couple di-vided their time between Nova Scotia and New York.

The Swiss-born Frank influenced countless pho-tographers and was lik-ened to Alexis de Tocqueville for so vividly capturing the United

States through the eyes of a foreigner. Besides his still photography, Frank was a prolific filmmaker, creat-ing more than 30 movies and videos, including a cult favorite about the Beats and a graphic, censored documentary of the Roll-ing Stones’ 1972 tour.

But he was best known for “The Americans,” a montage that countered the 1950s myth of bland prosperity and opened vast new possibilities for photography, shifting the paradigm from the por-trait to the snapshot. As essential to post-war cul-ture as a Chuck Berry song or a Beat poem, Frank’s shots featured jukeboxes, luncheonettes, cigars, big cars and endless high-ways, with an American flag often in the picture.

Michael liedtkeAP technology writer

CUPERTINO, Calif. — Apple unveiled new iP-hones that are largely unchanged from previous models and accompanied by an unexpected price cut for the cheapest model, underscoring the company’s efforts to coun-teract a sales slump of its flagship product.

The company’s new models are so similar to last year’s lineup they may be upstaged by Apple TV Plus, the company’s up-coming video service, which is rolling out on Nov. 1 at $5 per month.

Apple, in fact, is already using the video service to promote iPhones, offering a free year of Apple TV Plus with new device purchases.

IPhone shipments are down 25% so far this year, according to the research firm IDC, putting more pressure on Apple to gener-ate revenue from services such as music and video streaming, games and its App Store. Revenue from services rose 14% to nearly $23 billion during the first half of this year.

It is cutting the price of the iPhone 11 to $700 from $750, the price of last year’s XR. The lower prices re-verses a trend in which

premium phones get more expensive as people up-grade them less often.

Apple CEO Tim Cook didn’t have much new to say about the TV Plus ser-vice beyond its pricing and service date, although he did show a trailer for a new Jason Momoa-led se-ries called “See.”

Like Netflix and similar services from Amazon and Hulu, Apple has been lav-ishing billions of dollars for original programs fea-turing stars such as Oprah Winfrey, Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon. The service will launch with nine original shows and films, with more ex-pected each month. It will only carry Apple’s original programming, and will be available in 100 countries at launch.

Apple also announced a new videogame subscrip-tion service will cost $5 a month when it rolls out on Sept. 19. Called Apple Ar-cade, the service will allow subscribers to play more than 100 games se-lected by Apple and exclu-sive to the service.

The company’s new phone models resemble last year’s iPhone XR, XS and XS Max. And they have the same design — with more display space, less bezel and no home button — that Apple

switched to with the iPhone X in 2017.

New iPhone cameras are intended to appeal to the growing number of people who use phones to take pictures of them-selves, friends, family and the places they go. The phone’s “portrait mode” now also works with pets, not just humans.

With little change, many customers who bought models in the past two years may hold off upgrad-ing this year, analyst Pat-rick Moorhead of Moor Insights said.

The biggest difference is the phone’s camera, an area that Apple and its ri-vals have all been trying to improve as consumers snap more pictures on their devices. Even there, improvements from year to year have been small.

This year, Apple added an extra camera lens to each model. The two pric-ier models already have a telephoto lens for better zoom. Now, they will sport a wide-angle lens to cap-ture more of a scene than regular shots.

Even with those addi-tions, the new iPhones may still be catching up with the improvements that rivals such as Sam-sung, Huawei, Lenovo and Google have been making to their latest phones.

CRYSTAL RIVER • 352-795-7223

Shares in Wendy’s suffered their worst loss in six years after the Ohio-based burger chain warned investors that its plan to begin serving breakfast nationwide would mean lower profits than it had forecast just a month ago.

The chain known for its square burgers, founded in 1969 by its long-time pitchman Dave Thomas, will begin offering its Breakfast Baconator and other morning menu items at it roughly 6,000

U.S. stores next year. It’s been testing a breakfast menu at a limited number of restaurants, after

repeated attempts to compete with McDon-ald’s and other chains for breakfast customers in the past failed.

Wendy’s CEO Todd Penegor said in a statement that the plan will result in profit falling up to 6.5% this year; last month

Wendy’s had promised investors earnings per share growth of up to 7%.

The company’s stock plunged 10% to $19.71.

Stocks mostly up after early slump

Associated Press

Major U.S. stock indexes closed mostly higher Tues-day, erasing much of an early slide, as investors fa-vored smaller, U.S.- focused companies for the second straight day.

Industrial, energy and health care stocks helped power the market higher. Banks also notched solid gains amid a broad pull-back in demand for U.S. government bonds, which pushed yields higher. The yield on the 10-year Trea-sury note climbed to 1.73% from 1.62% late Monday, a big move.

Lenders rely on higher yields to set more lucra-tive interest rates on loans. Bank of America rose 2.5%, Goldman Sachs gained 1.7% and State Street vaulted 9%.

For the second day in a row, traders unloaded technology stocks and shares in companies that rely on consumer spend-ing. Microsoft dropped 1.1%, as did payment pro-cessors Visa and Master-card, losing 2.8% and 3.9%, respectively.

“It seems like a

complete reversal of what’s kind of been the theme over the last few months, where it’s been more about higher quality, higher market cap, higher growth, more stable growth and lower volatil-ity,” said Sameer Samana, senior global market strat-egist at Wells Fargo Invest-ment Institute. “Things that had been doing well just completely got sold and the things that had been lagging completely got bought.”

The S&P 500 index inched up 0.96 points, or less than 0.1%, to 2,979.39. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 73.92 points, or 0.3%, to 26,909.43. The average was briefly down 118 points.

The Nasdaq, which is heavily weighted with technology stocks, slid 3.28 points, or less than 0.1%, to 8,084.16.

Investors continued to flock to smaller-company stocks. They’re seen as being better shielded from the fallout of the costly trade war between the U.S. and China than large multinationals.

Among the small-cap

gainers were ABM Indus-tries, which rose 3.1% and Spectrum Pharmaceuti-cals, which jumped 16.9%.

The Russell 2000 index of smaller-company stocks led the gainers, adding 18.76 points, or 1.2%, to 1,542.99.

The broader market has been gaining ground for two weeks as investors re-main confident in the strength of the economy, despite the lingering trade war between the U.S. and China. The feud between the world’s two largest economies has been in-jecting doses of volatility into the market as both sides escalate and then pull back. Recent plans for trade talks to resume in October raised some hope on Wall Street for a resolution.

Meanwhile, investors continue to watch the steady flow of economic data for a clearer picture of the U.S. economy’s health. Recent reports have been a mixed bag, in-cluding a Labor Depart-ment report Tuesday that showed both a slip in job openings as well as a slight increase in hiring in July.

Compassion, concern are necessary

It’s a shame the Brannen Bank building in Hernando won’t be used for a seriously needed mental health facility. Not only would money be saved by utilizing property al-ready in place and viable, it would be convenient.

Those who don’t want it in the neighborhood are obvi-ously not familiar with pa-tients who have been or may be admitted to such facilities by the Baker Act.

There is no cause for worry, as these temporary facilities are specifically designed for those who are deemed men-tally or emotionally dis-turbed, perhaps becoming a danger to themselves or those nearby.

I believe maximum hold time is 72 hours, giving per-sonnel time to evaluate, treat and safe-watch patients. They do not leave or enter without an appropriately identified escort; they do not wander on the streets, they are simply in need of help.

There would be no reason for criminals or the homeless to trespass a medical estab-lishment. There is no public entrance, security is strictly maintained and nothing could be gained. Furthermore, there’s been mention of the Family Resource organiza-tion, which is nearby the bank building. Those who are homeless or in need of assis-tance are welcome there.

We should not consider any-one criminal, hateful or dan-gerous without reason, for they may just be down on their luck or not well.

As a former foster mom to therapeutic teenage girls, I am familiar with the Baker Act. Sheriff ’s deputies or au-thorized social workers were qualified for transporting those requiring care.

It can be a major imposi-tion, plus excessive cost, driv-ing to Marion County, especially when those in cri-sis may require immediate medical aid. It’s often a diffi-cult situation for those who must pick up patients upon their release. Again, patients

are not just sent out the door; they are always escorted.

It would be advantageous to learn more about the Baker Act so there is understanding and kindness shown towards those we often shun simply because we are misinformed.

The unknown and unfamil-iar can definitely be worri-some. In this particular matter, compassion and con-cern are necessary. Please re-consider your judgment.

Voters need to speak up

We have to speak up and ac-knowledge what some Repub-licans are doing on our behalf in our country. Our state rep-resentatives stopped the ex-pansion of Medicaid, they continue to move funding for our public schools to mostly religious schools. The Trump administration has appointed as our secretary of education one who has never attended public school nor have her children. She does not be-lieve in evolution and does not believe it should be taught in our schools.

On the state level, the

Republicans appointed a chairman of the state Board of Education who does not be-lieve that evolution should be taught in the public schools either. We need our children to keep pace with the rest of the industrial world and not fall back because our leaders are not up to the job of lead-ing us in the 21st century. The Republican Party keeps thinking of ways to stop peo-ple from voting and they will not acknowledge that Presi-dent Obama is responsible for our recovery that we are ex-periencing right now.

One billion-plus dollars given to every state for road work, bridges and overpasses was not chicken feed, al-though he wanted $3 trillion and only was able to get $87 billion passed into law. The administration ran on promoting a bigger infrastruc-ture bill, but that has not hap-pened. Just like all the other promises Trump made to the American people that never happened. There has not been one single bill to fund infrastructure work since President Obama had his stimulus package signed into law. Sen. Mitch McConnell will not bring any bill that the U.S. House of Representa-tives have passed to the floor of the Senate for a vote. When citizens complain about Con-gress not doing their job, it’s not because the Democrats are not doing their job. It’s now obvious to everyone at this point, that it’s the Repub-licans in the Senate that have stopped the government from functioning and they are blaming the president be-cause they’re not sure he will sign anything.

I just happened to see a let-ter today expressing the opin-ion that the Republican Party is still the party of Lincoln. I’m sorry to inform you that the Lincoln Republican Party died with him, and that ideal was not resurrected again until LBJ took office and those ideals were folded into the Democratic Party; it was the start of our country re-gaining its soul.

Roger CullenOld Homosassa

Where were you 18 years ago, on Sept. 11? Few dates jog our memories

quite like this one, wherever we were, if we “were” at all. Now that I have raised the question, I will answer for my own whereabouts, since they reflect a unique time frame in my life. I happened to be at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Min-nesota, undergoing tests for chronic back pain. Biofeedback and pioneering treatments were explored during my stay there. In the midst of all this, however, time stopped.

Next thing I knew, we were in lockdown mode, not knowing the extent of the attack we were in the midst of. Sirens sounded, eyes everywhere became glued to television screens, and cell-phones, still relatively new to the general populace, were ex-tracted from duffle bags and purses, in vain attempts to reach loved ones. In this infa-mous moment in time, every-one wanted to connect with those they held dear. Phone lines became so clogged, how-ever, that access was difficult to acquire.

What remains indelibly im-printed in my mind is how,

despite our diversity, or per-haps because of it, we came to-gether as a nation. Our humanity and reverence for life rose above the chaos. First responders dug through the af-termath of the twin towers’ de-mise, at what eventually became known as Ground Zero. Numbers were ticked off esti-mating the loss of life, while our country donned the sack-cloth of grief.

Eighteen years later, I have yet to visit the memorial which now stands there, commemorating 9/11’s almost 3,000 fatalities. Around our country, around the globe, people will have held me-morials during this week to pay homage to the people who per-ished on this day.

Our history is rife with conse-quences of violence, but never before, outside of the confines of a war, had we been attacked, prior to this day. This one day changed everything and every-one. Security, never that press-ing a concern, became paramount. Metal detectors, pat downs, anything and every-thing once deemed private, be-came open for scrutiny.

Individual rights were now parlayed against public safety.

Everyone was suspect. Terror within was as much a possibil-ity as terror without. We could no longer be comfortable walk-ing down our rural street with-out locking our front door behind us. Bye bye, Mayberry.

Today, more than ever, de-spite our differing backgrounds and heritage, we need to honor the fallen from 9/11 by putting aside our differences. Be vigi-lant, yes. But paranoia is not the ultimate answer.

Caution is always wise, but acceptance of our vast cornuco-pia of differences will allow us to survive and thrive. Call me Aunt Bea, but I am not quite ready to give up on mankind’s ultimate goodness.

“God cannot alter the past but historians can.”Samuel Butler

Humanity rose above the tragedy of 9/11

PATRIOT DAY

Pause and reflect on this 9/11

“On Sept. 11, 2001, 19 terrorists who were members of

al-Qaeda, an Islamist ex-tremist network, hijacked four commercial airplanes. In a coordinated attack, the hijackers intentionally flew two of the planes into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, and a third into the Pentagon.

“ L e a r n i n g about the other hijackings, pas-sengers and crew members on the fourth plane launched a coun-terattack, spur-ring the hijacker pilot to crash the plane into a field in Pennsylvania. Nearly 3,000 people were killed on that day, the single largest loss of life resulting from a foreign attack on American soil.” (From the September 11 Attack Timeline, the 9/11 Memorial.org)

It is a terrible thing to live through the horror of such events as those of Sept. 11, 2001. It is a terrible thing to be bound to live with the memories of such a day, as do the survivors and surviv-ing loved ones of those who perished or were injured.

But it is also a terrible thing when just enough time passes that people can start forgetting, or at least remem-bering less often. And it is a terrible thing if children are not taught about such events, so that they may remember as well.

Horrifying events happen every day — if not here, at least somewhere around the world. On what became known as 9/11, a feeling of safety and complacency shared by many U.S. citizens was shattered beyond repair in the course of a few hours. From the time American Air-lines Flight 11 hit New York City’s World Trade Center at 8:46 a.m. until the hours after Flight 93 crashed at 10:30 a.m. near Shanksville, Pennsylva-nia, Americans were com-pelled to realize horrifying events can happen here too.

Right here at home: in NYC, in Washington and in Pennsylvania on that day.

Unbelievably, U.S. airspace was closed at 12:16 p.m. In the

meantime, New York City’s first responders were thrust into unimaginable chaos as they valiantly swarmed on scene to fight fires and col-lapsing structures, rescue and recover victims and maintain some semblance of order to save thousands who could have perished. And “ordi-

nary” people be-c a m e f i r s t responders, too, as they reacted to help others.

Military and ci-vilian personnel and some more ordinary people scrambled to a similar mission at the Pentagon. And first re-sponders in Som-

erset County faced what ended up being a heart-breaking task of cleanup after all passengers and crew on Flight 93 were killed.

We certainly learned that day that heroes can be raised and trained and fashioned. Or they can be forged in an instant.

The day of unprecedented pandemonium in mod-ern-day America has since become known as Patriot Day. This day, Sept. 11, is a day to not forget — we must think back and discuss events with each other and our young people so they will remember.

We must never forget the horror, shock and sadness of 9/11, but we also must re-member all those heroes, many of whom are still with us today.

To that end, Inverness will have a 9/11 Freedom Walk and exhibit of artifacts at the Valerie Theatre downtown. The walk begins at 5:30 p.m. today in front of the Valerie for all who want to partici-pate. The display is open to the public from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. The remembrance events are sponsored each year by the city of Inverness, Operation Welcome Home and NARLEO — the Na-tional Association of Retired Law Enforcement Officers.

Everyone is welcome to come and pay their respects, reflect and discuss the events of 9/11. We can’t let these memories become dusty with time.

THE ISSUE:Remembering the events of

Sept. 11, 2001.

OUR OPINION:We must keep

these memories alive.

Petition FWC for barge canal boat ramp

Citrus County boaters: Citrus County is a waste of time to hope for a county-owned boat ramp at the barge canal. The barge canal access proper-ties are owned by the state of Florida. Therefore, I suggest we petition the Flor-ida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Com-mission for a regional

boat ramp at the barge canal. They have been providing this type of service to the citizens of Florida since the 1950s.

Start screaming to protect

democracyOn the 25th Amend-

ment front (meaning the “is he mentally unfit for office” front), Trump has recently:

n Lied about his wife’s relationship with North Korea’s Kim Jong-un;

n Garbled an answer about climate change in ways that would terrify anyone in search of a topic sentence;

n Attacked Fox News for disloyalty;

n Blamed Puerto Rico in advance of a hurri-cane for being in the path of a hurricane;

n Generally conducted himself in ways that be-speak grievously low functioning;

n Quoted someone de-scribing him as the sec-ond coming (a performance that would have sent most of us to the nearest psych ward);

n Called his own eco-nomic adviser the enemy of the state;

n Ordered American companies to stop invest-ing in China;

n Got in a fight with Denmark over a real es-tate deal gone south in Greenland;

n Showed the world a hurricane weather chart altered with a Sharpie.

And yet, House Demo-crats are still waiting to figure out what to do. The rest of us are pretty sure that if this ride goes any faster, we are going to implode before the 2020 election. So now is a good time to remind ourselves that we aren’t helpless, and that

Donald Trump’s Cabinet is not going to invoke the 25th Amendment, and that there are no adults in the room, and that the one trick that isn’t fanci-ful and still works is the impeachment power, whether or not the Sen-ate opts to convict.

Every day, Donald Trump does things far more dangerous and de-stabilizing than anything we once considered an impeachable offense. He has invited hostile pow-ers to usurp elections. He has undermined con-gressional will and threatened witnesses against him. He attacks and undermines the courts and the free press and violates basic princi-ples of separation of powers, all of which vio-late his own oath of of-fice. He attempts daily to enrich himself with for-eign money, and he has overseen the systematic abuse and degradation of immigrants and asylum seekers. He is also, by any historical measure, committing multiple impeachable offenses, endangering national security, and harming vulnerable com-munities. There is a con-stitutional remedy for that. We should avail ourselves of it.

When you stay silent, you are totally complicit with Trump’s unethical actions which in turn will ultimately affect you. It is time to start screaming and protest-ing in the streets to pro-tect the democracy of our country.

Assault weapons belong with

militaryThe automobile in-

dustry recognized years ago that it was the driver, not the vehicle, that caused most crashes. Sure, there were and always will be mechanical failures. But most vehicle crashes are the result of inattentive drivers, drivers ignorant of rules, drivers who speed. So the auto in-dustry knew they could not educate all drivers, nor could they slow down most drivers, and they would never be able to convince drivers that operating a vehicle is a full time job with-out the intrusion of phones, radios and pas-senger conversations.

So they decided to make the weapon (Freudian slip), the ve-hicle safer. It made more sense to tackle the tactile issue and fix the vehicle rather than

ferret out incompetent operators. Sort of like trying to find and fix mentally disturbed individuals.

Air bags in front and all around the interior. Automatic braking sys-tems, lane warning sen-sors, backup mirrors. So you can be a mediocre driver with the knowl-edge that the vehicle will assist your incompetence.

There is a correlation with firearms and vehi-cles. Both are weapons of death.

So the NRA and our POTUS informs us that guns don’t kill, people do, people pull the trig-ger. So we have to treat the person, the trigger puller, if you will. Now carry that philosophy to vehicular accidents. The car does not take a life or cause accidents, the operator, driver does.

So we realize we can’t fix all drivers (shooters) and instead put our re-sources into making the

car safer. We’ve seen the light on improving vehicle safety and sav-ing lives and recognize that we cannot truly fix all inept drivers, just as we unfortunately cannot find and fix some crazed gun owners. How are we ever going to fer-ret out all the mentally insane?

Wouldn’t it be easier to fix rules associated with the car (weapon)?

It always sounds logi-cal and seems to make sense when the NRA ex-plains that we need to fix the mass murder ep-idemic by putting in

new laws and proce-dures to help the men-tally challenged. Really? Would we be able to recognize those among us and treat them? Surely, we can honor the Second Amendment, keep the hunting sport alive, fill up shooting ranges and still attack our nation-wide murder epidemic.

I have weapons and a carry permit. But huge magazines and assault style rifles belong with the military and police.

But Johnson could win a UK electionGreGory Katz

Associated Press

LONDON — British Prime Minister Boris John-son has lost Parliament. But he could still win a general election if enough voters approve of his deter-mination to make Britain’s departure from the Euro-pean Union a reality.

The U.K. leader who took office in July failed spectacularly in his first encounter with Parlia-ment, losing six important votes before suspending the legislature for an unex-pected five weeks during a crucial period in Britain’s

political life. He was un-able to convince enough lawmakers to back his call for an early national elec-tion, which he hoped would give him a more pli-ant group of lawmakers.

Despite his inability to get a general election set for mid-October — Parlia-ment voted him down twice on that score — most observers think an early election is now inevitable, in part because Johnson’s Conservative Party has lost its working majority in the House of Commons and no longer has enough votes to pass legislation.

Parliament is now sus-pended — or prorogued — until Oct. 14, but once its session resumes, most sce-narios lead to a cross-party agreement to hold an early election that would test Johnson’s popularity out-side Parliament’s Gothic

halls in London. Right now the next British election is not scheduled until 2022.

Under a master plan hatched in part by top ad-viser Dominic Cummings, who played a key role di-recting pro-Brexit forces during the 2016 referen-dum campaign on EU membership, Johnson and his team would hope to cast the election as a “peo-ple versus Parliament” vote.

In this screenplay, the people — represented by Johnson and his Conserva-tive Party candidates

— are the good guys intent on implementing the re-sults of the 2016 Brexit ref-erendum that saw British voters, by a 4% margin, choose to leave the EU. Johnson’s Conservative party has been to a large degree purged of moder-ates who did not share his willingness to countenance a “no-deal” Brexit divorce from the EU and all the economic risks that entails.

Parliament and opposi-tion parties, meanwhile, will be cast as villains de-termined to thwart the will

of the people with endless delays.

The prime minister, well aware that many voters are tired of the whole thing, claims he doesn’t want an election but sees it as the only way to make Brexit happen. He can blame the current Parliament for tying his hands with its leg-islation blocking his ability to pull off a “no-deal” Brexit on Oct. 31, and say the legislators are deter-mined to overturn the Brexit referendum be-cause they don’t like the results.

Mississippi man gets 11 years for his part in cross burning

JACKSON, Miss. — A white Mississippi man re-ceived an 11-year prison sentence Tuesday for his part in burning a cross near the home of an African American family.

Louie Bernard Revette, 38, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Keith Starrett in Hattiesburg, the Justice Department said.

Revette pleaded guilty in April to one count each of interference with housing rights, which is a federal civil rights violation, and of using fire during the com-mission of a federal felony.

Revette acknowledged recruiting someone to help him build a cross to burn near the home of a teen-ager in a predominantly black area of Seminary on Oct. 24, 2017. He also ac-knowledged building the cross to threaten, frighten and intimidate people be-cause of their race.

rocket exploded at the U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan just minutes into Wednes-day, the anniversary of the 9/11 attack on the United States, but officials at the compound declared all-clear about an hour later and reported no injuries.

A plume of smoke rose over central Kabul shortly after midnight and sirens could be heard. Inside the embassy, employees heard this message over the loud-speaker: “An explosion caused by a rocket has oc-curred on compound.”

There was no immediate comment from Afghan officials.

Trump ousts BoltonWas dissenter on

foreign policyzeKe Miller and deb riechMann

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Tuesday abruptly forced out John Bolton, his hawkish national security adviser with whom he had strong disagreements on Iran, Afghanistan and a cas-cade of other global challenges.

The sudden shake-up marked the latest departure of a prominent voice of dissent from the president’s inner cir-cle, as Trump has grown less accepting of advice contrary to his instincts. It also comes at a trying moment for Trump on the world stage, weeks ahead of the United Nations General As-sembly and as the president faces pressing decisions on dif-ficult foreign policy issues.

Tensions between Bolton, Trump’s third national security adviser, and other officials have flared in recent months over influence in the presi-dent’s orbit and how to manage his desire to negotiate with some of the world’s most unsa-vory actors. Since joining the administration in the spring of last year, Bolton has espoused skepticism about the presi-dent’s whirlwind rapproche-ment with North Korea, and recently has become a vocal internal critic of potential talks between Trump and leaders of Iran and Afghanistan’s Taliban.

Bolton also broke with Trump with his vocal condem-nation of Russia’s global ag-gressions, and last year he masterminded a quiet cam-paign inside the administration and with allies abroad to

persuade Trump to keep U.S. forces in Syria to counter the remnants of the Islamic State and Iranian influence in the re-gion. Bolton’s maneuvering at the time contrasted with for-mer Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis’ decision to instead re-sign over Trump’s December withdrawal announcement, which has been effectively reversed.

On Twitter Tuesday, Trump and Bolton offered opposing accounts on the adviser’s less-than-friendly departure, final shots for what had been a frac-tious relationship almost from the start.

Trump tweeted that he told Bolton Monday night his ser-vices were no longer needed at the White House and Bolton submitted his resignation Tues-day morning. Bolton responded in a tweet of his own that he of-fered to resign Monday “and President Trump said, ‘Let’s talk about it tomorrow.’”

Trump explained that he had “disagreed strongly” with many of Bolton’s suggestions as na-tional security adviser, “as did others in the administration.”

South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, who had been travel-ing with Trump Monday, said reports of Bolton’s opposition

to a now-scrapped weekend meeting with the Taliban at Camp David was a “bridge too far” for Trump.

White House spokesman Hogan Gidley said Charles Kupperman, the deputy na-tional security adviser and a former Reagan administration official and defense contract-ing executive, would fill Bolton’s role on an acting basis. Trump said he would name a replacement for Bolton next week.

Bolton was named to the post in March 2018 after the depar-ture of Army Gen. H.R. McMaster.

A soggy outcome

Panthers take weather-shortened win over Pirates

DaviD PieklikCorrespondent

CRYSTAL RIVER — The weather that shortened Tuesday afternoon’s golf match — giving Lecanto a “frus-trating” win over Crystal River — was

a fitting end after slow greens wreaked havoc with scores.

The Panthers scratched out a 109-153 win over the Pirates at the Plantation Inn & Golf Resort. The course challenged players with soggy greens saturated from months of steady rainfall. When play was called after six holes, some exclaimed relief they didn’t have to play through the re-maining three.

Panther Virgil Matos — finishing with a 37 — said he has never played the course well and has some improv-ing to do. However, he was looking at

Former Raiders, Gators LB Neiron Ball dies at age 27Former Oakland Raiders linebacker Neiron

Ball, who played college football at Florida after recovering from brain surgery, has died at age 27.

Ball’s sister, Natalie Ball Myricks, released a statement announcing her brother’s pass-ing early Tuesday. Ball’s agency, the Sports & Entertainment Group in Washington, D.C., confirmed his death to The Associated Press.

Ball’s death came nearly a year after he

suffered a brain aneurysm and was placed in a medically induced coma at Emory Univer-sity Hospital in Atlanta. In late July, the Ball family announced that the Georgia native was out of the coma but was a quadriplegic.

A GoFundMe effort raised nearly $137,000 to help cover his medical expenses. Former Florida teammates and current NFL players Jon Bullard, Jaylen Watkins, Max Garcia, Keanu Neal and Jordan Reed gave between $1,000 and $10,000 each. Chicago Bears All-Pro linebacker Khalil Mack, who played with Ball in Oakland, gave $7,000.

Ball sat out his sophomore season at

Florida in 2011 because of a congenital con-dition called arteriovenous malformation, which causes the brain’s blood vessels to get tangled and rupture. He recovered after a year away and played in 33 games — with 16 starts — during his final three seasons in Gainesville.

The Raiders selected Ball in the fifth round of the 2015 NFL draft. He played in six games as a rookie before landing on injured reserve. He was on IR again in 2016 and then waived with a non-football injury desig-nation in July 2017.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

Associated PressLos Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw, center, is doused during a lockerroom celebration Tuesday after the Dodgers defeated the Baltimore Orioles 7-3 in Baltimore. The Dodgers clinched the NL West title for the seventh year in a row.

THIS DATE IN BASEBALL1912 — Eddie Collins set a major

league record with six stolen bases for the Philadelphia Athletics in a 9-7 win over the Detroit Tigers. Collins stole six more in a game on Sept. 22.

1918 — The Boston Red Sox beat the Chicago Cubs 2-1 behind the three-hit pitching of Carl Mays to win the World Series in six games. This was Boston’s third championship in a four-year stretch — 1915, 1916 and this season.

1936 — Hod Lisenbee of the Phila-delphia A’s tied a major league record for hits allowed, giving up 26 in a 17-2 rout by the Chicago White Sox.

1949 — The New York Yankees sent 18 men to the plate in the third inning of the first game of a doubleheader against Washington. In the 50-minute half-inning the Senators walked a ma-jor-league record 11 batters as the Yan-kees went on to a 20-5 win. New York won the second game 2-1 in one hour and 22 minutes.

1959 — The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-4, putting an end to reliever Roy Face’s 22-game winning streak. It was his only loss of the season as he finished with an 18-1 record.

1974 — It took the St. Louis Cardi-nals 25 innings — seven hours, four minutes — to beat the New York Mets. A record 202 batters went to the plate, Felix Millan and John Milner had 12 ap-pearances apiece.

1985 — Pete Rose of the Cincinnati Reds became the all-time hit leader with his 4,192nd hit to break Ty Cobb’s record. Rose lined a 2-1 pitch off San Diego pitcher Eric Show to left-center

field for a single in the first inning. It was the 57th anniversary of Ty Cobb’s last game in the majors.

1987 — New York Mets third base-man Howard Johnson, with 34 homers, became the first National League in-fielder to reach 30 home runs and 30 stolen bases in the same season. His 30th stolen base came in the fourth in-ning of a 6-4, 10-inning loss to the St. Louis Cardinals.

1996 — San Diego’s Ken Caminiti broke his own major league record by homering from both sides of the plate in a game for the fourth time this season. In a 6-5 win over Pittsburgh, Caminiti homered left-handed in the fifth inning, hitting a two-run shot. Batting right-handed in the seventh, he hit a solo shot to break his record set last year.

2008 — Albert Pujols drove in his 100th run with a sixth-inning double in the Cardinals’ 3-2 loss to the Cubs, be-coming only the third player in major league history to reach the milestone in his first eight seasons. Pujols also ex-tended his major league-record streak of reaching 30 homers and 100 RBIs in his first eight seasons, two more than any player in history.

2014 — Miami Marlins slugger Gi-ancarlo Stanton sustained multiple fa-cial fractures, dental damage and cuts that needed stitches after being hit in the face by a pitch. Stanton was hit under the left eye by a fastball from Mil-waukee’s Mike Fiers in the fifth inning of a 4-2 loss.

Antonio Brown accused of rape by former trainer

New England Patriots wide receiver Antonio Brown has been accused of rape by a former trainer.

Britney Taylor said Brown sexually as-saulted her on three occasions, accord-ing to a lawsuit filed Tuesday in the Southern District of Florida.

Brown has denied the allegations. Dar-ren Heitner, a lawyer representing Brown, said it was “a consensual per-sonal relationship.”

Brown was released by the Oakland Raiders last week after clashing with the team throughout training camp. He agreed to a contract with New England on Saturday, but has yet to play for the Patriots.

Arkansas names Starkel new starting QB

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Nick Starkel has been named Arkansas’ starting quarterback.

Starkel, a graduate transfer who previ-ously played for Texas A&M, will replace Ben Hicks for Saturday’s game against

Colorado State.After Hicks struggled Saturday against

Mississippi, Starkel stepped in and went 17 for 24 for 201 yards and a touchdown.

“It wasn’t so much what Ben did or didn’t do. It’s what Nick did,” coach Chad Morris said Monday. “We were looking for a spark, something to get our offense moving, create some momentum, create some yards, give an opportunity for some big plays.”

Morris’ 14-game tenure as Arkansas coach has been pockmarked with prob-lems. He won just two games in his first season with the Razorbacks in 2018 playing three different quarterbacks.

Jets’ DL Shepherd suspended 6 games

NEW YORK — New York Jets defen-sive lineman Nathan Shepherd has been suspended six games by the NFL for vio-lating the league’s policy on performance-enhancers.

The NFL announced the suspension Tuesday. Shepherd will be eligible to re-turn to the Jets’ active roster on Oct. 28, following New York’s game at Jacksonville.

the positives from a few holes, includ-ing the second one.

“I bogeyed, left one short. But that left the door open for me to do good,” he said, adding he bogeyed on the par 3 third hole. “I’m trying to keep track, and if I can duplicate that over and over again, I should be much better than I did today.”

Crystal River’s Megan Allen ended the day team leader with a 27. She said she could have done better, strug-gling with the mid-game.

“I was duffing a lot. I had great drives and great putting; it’s just in

between,” she continued.Having started action first in her

duo, she was able to tee off on the eighth green before storms rolled in. That hole stood out from the rest be-cause of the approach, with a water hazard before the green, with her avoiding the water and bogeying.

“My five wood went over the water, thank God, and I was just short of the green,” Allen said. “I chipped on and two-putted.”

Panthers coach Alice Christian saw first-hand the challenges play-ers faced, and isn’t surprised how play went. She agreed the wet condi-tions affected play, adding, “There were some downhill putts where the ball just stopped, and we’re like, ‘huh?’”

MENIn spite of Hurricane Dorian, the Citrus Hills Men’s Golf Association managed to get this week’s game in. We played “Indi-vidual Point Quota” for four Flights (A, B, C and D) where we grouped like handi-caps together. The game is played by setting a “Quota” per individual based on their handicap and then playing the round hole by hole where each player gets 1 point for a bogey, 2 points for a par, 4 points for a birdie, etc. After totaling each individual’s points for the round, we then subtracted the required points quota to establish the final score. The game was played on Wednesday, Sept. 4, on the Oaks Golf Course of Citrus Hills with 41 players participating. The winners were as follows:

Special to the Chronicle

Proceeds from the 17th annual Chili Cook Off hosted by Lecanto Levi’s 4-H Club this summer at Nature’s Resort in Homosassa were recently distributed to several nonprofits in Citrus County. The event was rescheduled from October 2018 due to Hurricane Michael.

Lecanto Levi’s 4-H Club also uses part of the event proceeds to sponsor needy

families during the holidays and throughout the year when needed.

Even with rescheduling due to the storm, the club raised $10,960 — and every dime stayed in Citrus County.

This year’s Chili Cook Off is scheduled for Oct. 12 and 13. For information, call 352-697-3364.

NEW THIS WEEK

Kelsey Nast earns scholarship

Valdosta State University has awarded Kelsey Nast, of Inverness, the Georgia Gulf Sulfur Scholarship for the 2019-20 academic year.

Nast is one of nearly 500 currently enrolled, incoming first-year, or trans-fer students selected to receive a scholarship through VSU Foundation Inc. These scholarships were estab-lished by private donors and are awarded each year to students with excellent academic achievement and/or financial need. Each recipient rep-resents the high standards of the university.

CF offers additional 12-week semester

The College of Central Florida has an additional option for students who missed registration for classes that started on Aug. 19. Students can now register for the new September Start Semester, which includes 12 weeks of courses, Sept. 16 through Dec. 6.

Students are encouraged to stop by CF’s Enrollment Services Depart-ment in the Bryant Student Union, Building 5, to receive assistance with the admissions process. Students can also get assistance with financial aid, placement testing, academic ad-vising or course registration for the September Start Semester.

“We are happy to offer students who missed the fall registration deadline an opportunity to still take classes,” said Dr. Raphel Robinson, director of Ad-missions and Student Recruitment. “There are a variety of reasons that prevent students from starting in Au-gust, so having this additional option helps students jump right in and take classes so they don’t have to wait.”

CF offers semester choices for stu-dents ranging between six and 16 weeks in the fall, spring and summer.

For more information, email admissions@CF.edu or call 352-873-5800, ext. 5802.

You Can Be #Great!

Mini Thought:Not all role models are famous. Who are some of your personal role models?

Next Week:Our

Constitution

We sometimes look to athletes and music, film and TV stars as heroes and heroines. We want to be like them. But while we admire these people for what they do, it’s their life off the stage or field that really counts. There is more to greatness than hitting home runs, having a hit album or starring in a blockbuster film or TV show. You could be someone else’s role model. You don’t have to be a big star to be great yourself! You can be great in your very own way. The more you practice good character traits, the better a person you become.

Doing good People with good character traits are usually happier and lead fuller lives than people with bad traits. Being great starts within. It begins with how you feel and behave toward yourself and others. You have to practice, practice, practice. Every little good thing counts toward building strong character. We have given you some building blocks for good character, along with ways to practice them. We bet you have great ideas yourself.

#Respect • for myself: I am active every day. • for others: I clean up my messes. • for property: I don’t take things that

aren’t mine. • for rules: I follow rules at school and at

home. • for authority: I listen to my teacher and

my parents.

#Responsibility • I’m dependable. • I accept blame when I’m at fault.

#Cooperation • I work with others to achieve goals.

#Caring • I give my

time, effort and thoughts to others.

#Fairness • I listen to

both sides and think about how my decisions will affect others.

#Honesty • I always tell the truth.

#Courage • I follow my own beliefs, even when

they’re not popular with others.

How can you be #Great? Nobody is perfect, but consider these simple words from Abraham Lincoln: “When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad.” Practicing great behavior helps it become a habit. Help yourself by keeping a great-for-me diary. Keep a list of the great things you do for yourself and others. You can start your diary here, then expand it as the school year goes on.

Today, I:

Words that remind us of being #great are hidden in this puzzle. Some words are hidden backward or diagonally, and some letters are used twice. See if you can find:

For later:Look through your newspaper for people you would consider role models.

Cockroaches are developing a super-immunity to multiple classes of insecticides, leaving Earth’s human population with little chemical defense against the hoards of creepy crawlies. A Purdue University study found that the German cockroach can develop an immunity to new poisons in as little as one generation. The increasing immunity means it will become necessary to use methods like traps, vacuums and better sanitation.

Who said “The American, by nature, is optimistic. He is ex-perimental, an inventor and a builder who builds best when called upon to build greatly”?

When your partner has over-bid and put you into a seemingly hopeless contract, try to find a favorable layout of the cards so that you can get home safely. In today’s example, North raised one no-trump immediately to

three no-trump, hoping that his partner would have the diamond ace and three more tricks.

Declarer thought he had nine easy winners via one spade, six diamonds and two clubs. But just in case things were not so simple, he ducked the first two spade tricks and took the third. Then he cashed the diamond ace and continued with the diamond jack. West’s heart discard was a blow.

South paused to see if he could still take nine tricks. Then he saw one faint chance. He needed East to have the heart king and ace, and either 3=4=4=2 or 3=5=4=1 distribution.

Declarer won trick five with his diamond jack, cashed the club ace and king, then played a heart to dummy’s 10.

East, quietly grinding his teeth, could do no better than play three rounds of hearts. But South took the last with dum-my’s queen and ran the rest of the diamonds.

The opening observation was made by John F. Kennedy. And, finally, did you notice the chance that West missed? After one or two rounds of spades, if West had shifted to hearts, East could have played three rounds of the suit to remove the dummy entry to the diamonds.

“9/11: Inside Air Force One”

9 p.m. on ` SBH90210

The line between real life and reel life has kept getting blurrier in this quasi-reboot of a drama that was one of Fox’s earliest flagship series, and it seems like-ly art will imitate life yet again in the Season 1 finale, “The Long Wait” — a title that refers to the show’s cast members waiting to hear whether the network is picking up their show for Season

2. As of this writing, Fox hasn’t shared its decision. Tori Spelling, Jennie Garth, Jason Priestley and Ian Ziering star.

9 p.m. on (HBO)In the Shadow of the Towers:

Stuyvesant High on 9/11When New York’s World Trade Center was attacked in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the teen-age students at nearby Stuyvesant High School found themselves being evacuated from their class-rooms and faced with a harrowing journey home that led through a danger zone choked by debris. Through a series of intimate interviews with those now-adult survivors, many of them from im-migrant families, filmmaker Amy Schatz reveals what it felt like to be a young person near Ground Zero on that fateful day.

9 p.m. on (HIST)9/11: Inside Air Force One

This new two-hour documen-tary takes viewers aboard Air Force One — as well as into cockpits, command centers and underground bunkers across the United States — to recapture the chaotic activity on one of the most terrifying days in Ameri-

can history. The film includes interviews with former Presi-dent George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, as well as ex-chief of staff Andy Card and the pilot of Air Force One. What emerges is an account of that day as viewed by American leaders and members who were in the chain of command.

10 p.m. on # %Magical Land of Oz

This visually dazzling and en-lightening three-part docu-series that celebrates the staggering biodiversity in flora and fauna that can be found Down Under draws to a close with the finale “Humans,” an hour devoted to how some of Australia’s amazing wildlife has been able to adapt to living in an environ-ment surrounded by humans. One highlight: a flamboyant dancing peacock spider, filmed in a suburban garden. Barry Humphries is the narrator.

10 p.m. on (FX)Snowfall

In the Season 3 finale, “Other Lives,” Franklin (Damson Id-ris) decides it’s time for him to walk a different path in his life,

while daily existence for those living in South Central Los An-geles starts to change forever. That chapter-ending note sets the tone for Season 4, which FX recently greenlit. The show — which remains among the cable network’s top performers — has weathered the untimely loss last April of co-creator John Singleton, who died of a stroke at age 51.

11 p.m. on (NGEO)

9/11: Control the SkiesDozens of films and documen-taries have recalled the 9/11 terror attacks, but this new one-hour special examines an element of that tragic day that has received relatively scant attention. On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, after the four terrorist attacks had happened, there were 500 planes in the air over the North Atlantic. Chill-ingly, no one knew whether any of those other planes had been hijacked by terrorists who were about to commit further acts of destruction, so official efforts began to — as the title suggests — control the skies.

Dear Annie: I consider myself to be a self-aware social media poster.

However, there is a family member on Facebook who posts her child care needs at least once a week. She posts the day and time she needs and has said the names of the children who need a sitter. She has three children.

Her circumstance is difficult as she is g o i n g through a divorce. I am not particu-l a r l y c l o s e with her, but not in a bad way.

I, too, h a v e been a s i n g l e m o t h e r and know how difficult it can be to find cheap, reliable child care. There is part of me that wants to message her to tell her how unsafe it is to continu-ally post when her children will be alone with a sitter, but I guess this is her business. Annie, should I bring up my concerns with her? — Worried for the Kids

Dear Worried for the Kids: She is a family member, and you are both single mothers. Yes, by all means bring up your concerns with her. Kids come first, and if you think that what she is doing is unsafe for them, then say something sooner rather than later.

Maybe even offer to help take care of her kids when she is in a pinch so that she is not so desperate to post it on so-cial media. Perhaps you could offer her some of the ways you found a sitter without an-nouncing it to everyone on so-cial media.

Dear Annie: I was fortunate to have found a wonderful quiet condo in a very expen-sive tourist town. Although I’m renting, I have done repairs and spent money on my new “home,” as I was planning to make this my last move. I’m 70.

Everything was great, in-cluding the semi-retired neighbors and the office and maintenance staff. It felt like a community. Then the elderly next-door neighbor moved and a young working lady moved in. The problem is that she is obese. Her footsteps can be heard and felt in my unit. She wakes between 4 and 5 a.m.

Because of the floor plan, our bedrooms and bathrooms are adjoining, and I am woken up when she gets up. I’ve left felt pads for her bathroom cab-inets hoping that may be a hint, but it seems to have made it worse.

How do I tactfully tell her that I hear everything, includ-ing her bathroom use (even the vomiting. ... bulimia?) It’s not like a noisy neighbor with loud music.

I don’t want to move again, but I’m very stressed about this. — Hearing Too Much

Dear Hearing Too Much: It is understandable that you are stressed out about this. Hear-ing someone going to the bath-room, no matter how much they weigh, is disgusting. And that’s not something your new neighbor can help. It sounds like it could be a building issue and that the building is not properly soundproofed. For the time being, invest in some good earplugs along with a sound machine. After that, speak with management and tell them what is going on. Here’s hoping they will have a solution. If not, it might be time to pack up and move.

3 years old, leash trained, “crate

trained”, HW nega-tive. He enjoys

every minute with his humans and is so happy he wags his tail so much he al-most becomes air-

borne. His nick-name is Wigglebutt.

He’s a short little guy, walks well on a leash, ignores other dogs, & tries hard to

please his person. Please give this

sweetie a chance. You won’t regret it.

Meet Tank, amedium energy

3-year-old neutered, housebroken

Pocket Pittie, weight 38 pounds. Had a home at one time with a person who

loved him & he loved; however,

that person fell on hard times & had to

leave Tank, but promised he would visit him when he

could. When he did Tank was overjoyed and showered the

man with kisses. He showed the man

that he had learned to sit & give paw,

but the man still was not able to keep Tank, which broke

Tank’s heart. Tank is very smart and ea-ger to learn, & de-

serves a good home & someone

to love him. He gets along with other

dogs, but is afraid of cats. Loves to ride & loves to walk, has

good leash man-ners. Please call

Several members of the Crys-tal River United Methodist Church traveled over to the

First United Methodist Church in Bushnell to attend the Sunday morning worship service followed by the celebration of 41 years of appointed ministry honoring the Rev. Alan and Jo Jefferson upon his retirement from the Florida Conference.

The Jeffersons served the Crystal River United Methodist Church for 18 years, which con-cluded with the call to serve as a district superintendent for the Florida Conference.

Bushnell United Methodist Church Pastor Marguerite Mat-thews’ sermon, “Anchoring our

Souls in Faith,” spoke to the absolute su-premacy of Jesus chal-lenging us to anchor our souls in faith in the knowledge that God is always with us in all s i t u a t i o n s a n d circumstances.

She said that as a re-flection of God’s glory and with our faith as evidence of God’s love as a constant in our life seals our percep-tion of how we can share as He shared.

She further stressed that it takes courage to provide for the needs of others and we have the

opportunity to help change the world so it can be a place where people can live joy-fully and that we are God’s conduit, accom-plishing much for Him through us.

In conclusion, she said that we can trust in Him in all things when we anchor our souls in faith and live each day fully in His grace.

At the top of the church bulletin and Order of Worship was this telling thought for us to ponder: “Before the ser-vice, we speak to God. During the

service, God speaks to us. After the service, we speak to others.”

We sang “Through it All” for the call to worship. Rob Clark provided the piano prelude, “He Leadeth Me.” “Faith of Our Fa-thers” was our hymn of praise. Then the scriptural passages, Psalm 50:18 and 22-23, and He-brews 11:1-3 and 8-16, were read from PowerPoint.

Soloist Tiffany Jefferson pro-vided the special music, “Oceans.” Following the Pastoral Prayer, we prayed the Lord’s Prayer and Pastor Matthews called the children up for their special sermon.

I hope you had a safe and happy Labor Day. It sounds crazy with it still being ex-

tremely hot outside, but it’s time to think about getting flu shot.

Although fall and winter months are the most common flu season, in our part of the world it can continue being a problem through May. Prevention is the key to staying healthy. This is why it is important to get a flu shot early.

Flu symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, head-ache, chills and fatigue. Re-member, however, you can have the flu and respiratory symp-toms without a fever.

Getting an annual flu vaccine

is the best way to pro-tect yourself and your family.

In Citrus County, over 56,000 people are 65 years old and older. These citizens are at greater risk of severe complications from the flu because their immune de-fenses become weaker over time.

Every year, deaths and hospitalizations due to the flu rise at record rates with this demographic. Older adults and people with weak-ened immune systems can get much sicker.

The important thing to

remember, is that even in this age of modern medicine, thousands die and even more are hospi-talized every year due to the flu. Please don’t take a chance.

Here are a few things coming up with Royal Dalton Assisted Living and Memory Care this month:

n On Wednesday, Sept. 18, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., you are invited to a “Meet and Greet” with Patrick A. Crippen, Republican candidate for Citrus County Sheriff at Royal Dalton. Royal Dalton Assisted Living

and Memory Care is located at 5445 W. Oak Park Blvd. in Ho- mosassa. Refreshments will be served.

n On Thursday, Sept. 26, at 1 p.m., I will be presenting “What Your Family Should Know” at the Central Ridge Li-brary. What would happen if you were unable to tell your family important information regard-ing your finances, your insur-ance policy or other important matters? “What My Family Should Know” will help you pre-pare for the unexpected thus saving your loved ones undue stress. This presentation is also open to the public. The Central Ridge Library is located at the corner of Roosevelt Boulevard

and Forest Ridge Boulevard in Beverly Hills.

If you would like more infor-mation on this or other presen-tations, or would like to schedule a speaker for your organization, contact me at info@royaldalton house.com or call 352-476-2960.

Katie Lucas is the senior place-ment specialist at Royal Dalton House Assisted Living and Mem-ory Care. Lucas has a bachelor’s of arts in marketing from the Uni-versity of Alabama. She is mar-ried with three children, five grandchildren and has lived in Citrus County for 30 years. To contact her, email to info@royal daltonhouse.com or call 352-476-2960.

The 25th Anniversary edition of the Rails to Trails Bike Ride on the Withla-coochee State Trail is fast approaching, and volunteers are preparing for cyclists from all over the southeast to ride the state trail on Sunday, Oct. 6.

Riders will enjoy a continental break-fast between 7 and 9 a.m. at the Inverness Trail head, 315 N. Apopka Ave., then head out for as long a ride as they wish, up to 100 miles on the beautiful, paved

Withlacoochee State Trail. When they re-turn to Inverness between 11 and 3 p.m., they will enjoy a catered lunch of either pulled pork (plus sides) or baked ziti. Those who ride either a Century (100 miles) or a Metric Century (62 miles) will receive medals and certificates.

This ride is legendary for its six amaz-ing rest stops, filled with happy, helpful volunteers serving a vast array of snacks and beverages. All rest stops have mod-ern restroom facilities.

Door prizes this year include a new

Terra Trike from Inverness Bicycle & Fitness, a diamond-frame bike from Blue Run Bicycles & Paddle Co., as well as gift certificates for two-night stays at The Plantation, Holiday Inn and Central Motel. Many other door prizes will be awarded to lucky participants who regis-ter early for the ride.

Registration fee is $40 for adults and $15 for children. Online registration closes a midnight Oct. 2. Walk-up regis-tration will be $45.

Many riders prefer to start at the Ridge

Manor trailhead, but need to notify event planners if they wish to pick up their ride packets there instead of Inverness.

For more detailed information, or to register, go to www.rttwst.org. Click on “Annual Ride” then choose to either reg-ister online, or print out an entry form and mail it in. The printable form con-tains detailed information about the ride, so please consult it for answers to any questions.

The ride is sponsored by the Citrus County Chronicle.

Doors open at 11 a.m. with lunch at noon. Games follow lunch.

Cost is $12. To play, call Pat at 352-422-8149.

Wyatt Lucas provided a trombone solo, “Air from Comus,” for the offertory. Our closing hymn was “I Know Whom I Have Believed.”

Following the benedic-tion, pianist Rob Clark provided the postlude, “It is Well With my Soul,” and then we were invited to the retirement celebration for the Jeffersons in the church’s fellowship hall, which was a covered-dish luncheon provided by all who were in attendance and hosted by the Bush-nell United Methodist Church family.

The Rev. June Edwards, District Superintendent, gave the Words of Blessing following the luncheon.

Hebrews 6:10 was at the top of the celebration pro-gram: “For God will not forget how hard you have worked for Him and how you have shown your love to Him by caring for others as you still do.” Words of remembering, words of thanksgiving and special presentations followed.

Pastor Jefferson’s minis-try spanned Florida from coast to coast, including Miami, Bradenton, Ocala West, Bartow, Reddick, Or-ange Park and more. He was a gift to many.

He was active in the community here, serving with the United Way, the Chamber of Commerce and appearing in the play, “Joseph and the Techni-color Dream Coat,” and he served as chaplain for the Crystal River Pirates foot-ball team.

I recall the Bible studies

he taught at Crystal River United Methodist Church, the discipleship program, the Shepherding Program, the beginning of the Ste-phen Ministry, the estab-lishment of our present church on North Citrus Avenue after selling the downtown church to the First Baptist Church, which houses the Chris-tian school my grandson attends.

I recall the baptisms at the Legion Beach, now Hunter Springs, acquiring the Bethel Chapel, and so much more.

The love and respect that he extended to others came back to him and his family on this celebration day as, one by one, many attending spoke of his ministry with deep love and appreciation.

Local humorist Flea Bit, with his overgrown poodle

puppet, entertained with a bit of Pastor Jefferson’s legacy: Born in 1977, when gas was 55 cents, with the poodle asking, “What do pastors do?” “They teach, they are a shepherd with love sent from above.”

Other words of love from those attending:

n He was an encourager.

n His mantra: “God first, Jo second, the com-munity third.”

n His everyday life was his sermon.

n He was a friend and a mentor.

The Bushnell United Methodist Women pre-sented the Jeffersons with a commemorative quilt. When Psalm 91:1 and 4 was read — “Those who live in the shelter of the most High will find rest in the shadow of the Al-mighty. ... He will cover

you with his feathers. He will shelter you with His wings. His faithful prom-ises are your armor and protection” — and Tom Smith provided a “Wind Beneath My Wings” so-prano saxophone solo, it was a standing ovation for the Jefferson family.

The favors placed at each person’s place for the celebration said it all. They were mints with this message in red, white and blue:

To Pastor Alan and Jo,Thank youFor your…Achieve mintCommit mintEncourage mintInvolve mint

You are so very much appreciated.

Pastor Alan Jefferson thanked everyone who came to his retirement cel-ebration with, “It was an experience of a lifetime.” Jo Jefferson stated, “We were blessed by the church family at each church we served.”

It was such a beautiful way to honor Pastor Alan Jefferson and Jo and their family.

Ruth Levins participates in a variety of projects around the community. Let her know about your group’s upcoming activities by writing to P.O. Box 803, Crystal River, FL 34423.

LEVINSContinued from Page D1

When you think of some of the great automobiles of the past, most of us don’t really know much about

a car known as the “Tucker 48” or by its nickname, the “Tucker Torpedo.” Preston Tucker, born in 1903, was obsessed with automobiles from an early age.

When the war in Europe began to heat up in 1939, Tucker began developing an armored combat car. Although the car it-self was not very successful, the highly-mobile power- operated gun turret which he developed for the vehicle and was later known as the “Tucker Turret,” was used on PT boats, landing craft and B-17 and B-29 bomber airplanes. Tucker moved back to Michigan in 1943 to start his new company, the Tucker Corporation.

After the war, the public was ready for totally new car de-signs. Tucker saw this as an op-portunity to develop and bring his “car of tomorrow” to market. Tucker’s future-car became known as the Tucker Torpedo, but not desiring to bring to mind the horrors of World War II, Tucker quickly changed the name to the Tucker 48.

Due to the methods Tucker used to raise capital for his car, Tucker Corpora-tion executives were charged by the Secu-rity and Exchange Commission (SEC) with 25 counts of mail fraud and five counts of violations of SEC regulations.

After a long court battle, all executives including Tucker, were found not guilty on all counts. Tucker had prevailed at the trial but the Tucker Corporation, now without a factory and buried in debt, was no more.

Unfortunately, the Tucker 48 never made it to production and only a total of 50 cars were ever produced.

CAR JOKEA man was hitchhiking on a very dark

night in the middle of a storm. Then sud-denly, he saw a car come towards him and stop. Instinctively, the man climbed in the car and closed the door, only to re-alize that no one was behind the wheel!

The car started moving slowly. He peered through the windshield at the

road ahead and, to his horror, he saw a tight curve. He was still in shock when, a few yards before the corner, a hand appeared through the window and turned the wheel.

The man, paralyzed with terror, watched how the hand appeared every time he ap-proached a corner. Finally, he summoned the strength to es-cape from the moving car and run to the nearest town.

Wet and shaking, he found a bar where he started telling

everyone about his terrible experience. About a half hour later, two men walked into the bar and one said to the other, “Look George, that’s the guy who climbed in our car when we were pushing it.”

BRIEFS

Several members of the Crys-tal River United Methodist Church traveled over to the

First United Methodist Church in Bushnell to attend the Sunday morning worship service followed by the celebration of 41 years of appointed ministry honoring the Rev. Alan and Jo Jefferson upon his retirement from the Florida Conference.

The Jeffersons served the Crystal River United Methodist Church for 18 years, which con-cluded with the call to serve as a district superintendent for the Florida Conference.

Bushnell United Methodist Church Pastor Marguerite Mat-thews’ sermon, “Anchoring our

Souls in Faith,” spoke to the absolute su-premacy of Jesus chal-lenging us to anchor our souls in faith in the knowledge that God is always with us in all s i t u a t i o n s a n d circumstances.

She said that as a re-flection of God’s glory and with our faith as evidence of God’s love as a constant in our life seals our percep-tion of how we can share as He shared.

She further stressed that it takes courage to provide for the needs of others and we have the

opportunity to help change the world so it can be a place where people can live joy-fully and that we are God’s conduit, accom-plishing much for Him through us.

In conclusion, she said that we can trust in Him in all things when we anchor our souls in faith and live each day fully in His grace.

At the top of the church bulletin and Order of Worship was this telling thought for us to ponder: “Before the ser-vice, we speak to God. During the

service, God speaks to us. After the service, we speak to others.”

We sang “Through it All” for the call to worship. Rob Clark provided the piano prelude, “He Leadeth Me.” “Faith of Our Fa-thers” was our hymn of praise. Then the scriptural passages, Psalm 50:18 and 22-23, and He-brews 11:1-3 and 8-16, were read from PowerPoint.

Soloist Tiffany Jefferson pro-vided the special music, “Oceans.” Following the Pastoral Prayer, we prayed the Lord’s Prayer and Pastor Matthews called the children up for their special sermon.

I hope you had a safe and happy Labor Day. It sounds crazy with it still being ex-

tremely hot outside, but it’s time to think about getting flu shot.

Although fall and winter months are the most common flu season, in our part of the world it can continue being a problem through May. Prevention is the key to staying healthy. This is why it is important to get a flu shot early.

Flu symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, head-ache, chills and fatigue. Re-member, however, you can have the flu and respiratory symp-toms without a fever.

Getting an annual flu vaccine

is the best way to pro-tect yourself and your family.

In Citrus County, over 56,000 people are 65 years old and older. These citizens are at greater risk of severe complications from the flu because their immune de-fenses become weaker over time.

Every year, deaths and hospitalizations due to the flu rise at record rates with this demographic. Older adults and people with weak-ened immune systems can get much sicker.

The important thing to

remember, is that even in this age of modern medicine, thousands die and even more are hospi-talized every year due to the flu. Please don’t take a chance.

Here are a few things coming up with Royal Dalton Assisted Living and Memory Care this month:

n On Wednesday, Sept. 18, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., you are invited to a “Meet and Greet” with Patrick A. Crippen, Republican candidate for Citrus County Sheriff at Royal Dalton. Royal Dalton Assisted Living

and Memory Care is located at 5445 W. Oak Park Blvd. in Ho- mosassa. Refreshments will be served.

n On Thursday, Sept. 26, at 1 p.m., I will be presenting “What Your Family Should Know” at the Central Ridge Li-brary. What would happen if you were unable to tell your family important information regard-ing your finances, your insur-ance policy or other important matters? “What My Family Should Know” will help you pre-pare for the unexpected thus saving your loved ones undue stress. This presentation is also open to the public. The Central Ridge Library is located at the corner of Roosevelt Boulevard

and Forest Ridge Boulevard in Beverly Hills.

If you would like more infor-mation on this or other presen-tations, or would like to schedule a speaker for your organization, contact me at info@royaldalton house.com or call 352-476-2960.

Katie Lucas is the senior place-ment specialist at Royal Dalton House Assisted Living and Mem-ory Care. Lucas has a bachelor’s of arts in marketing from the Uni-versity of Alabama. She is mar-ried with three children, five grandchildren and has lived in Citrus County for 30 years. To contact her, email to info@royal daltonhouse.com or call 352-476-2960.

The 25th Anniversary edition of the Rails to Trails Bike Ride on the Withla-coochee State Trail is fast approaching, and volunteers are preparing for cyclists from all over the southeast to ride the state trail on Sunday, Oct. 6.

Riders will enjoy a continental break-fast between 7 and 9 a.m. at the Inverness Trail head, 315 N. Apopka Ave., then head out for as long a ride as they wish, up to 100 miles on the beautiful, paved

Withlacoochee State Trail. When they re-turn to Inverness between 11 and 3 p.m., they will enjoy a catered lunch of either pulled pork (plus sides) or baked ziti. Those who ride either a Century (100 miles) or a Metric Century (62 miles) will receive medals and certificates.

This ride is legendary for its six amaz-ing rest stops, filled with happy, helpful volunteers serving a vast array of snacks and beverages. All rest stops have mod-ern restroom facilities.

Door prizes this year include a new

Terra Trike from Inverness Bicycle & Fitness, a diamond-frame bike from Blue Run Bicycles & Paddle Co., as well as gift certificates for two-night stays at The Plantation, Holiday Inn and Central Motel. Many other door prizes will be awarded to lucky participants who regis-ter early for the ride.

Registration fee is $40 for adults and $15 for children. Online registration closes a midnight Oct. 2. Walk-up regis-tration will be $45.

Many riders prefer to start at the Ridge

Manor trailhead, but need to notify event planners if they wish to pick up their ride packets there instead of Inverness.

For more detailed information, or to register, go to www.rttwst.org. Click on “Annual Ride” then choose to either reg-ister online, or print out an entry form and mail it in. The printable form con-tains detailed information about the ride, so please consult it for answers to any questions.

Wyatt Lucas provided a trombone solo, “Air from Comus,” for the offertory. Our closing hymn was “I Know Whom I Have Believed.”

Following the benedic-tion, pianist Rob Clark provided the postlude, “It is Well With my Soul,” and then we were invited to the retirement celebration for the Jeffersons in the church’s fellowship hall, which was a covered-dish luncheon provided by all who were in attendance and hosted by the Bush-nell United Methodist Church family.

The Rev. June Edwards, District Superintendent, gave the Words of Blessing following the luncheon.

Hebrews 6:10 was at the top of the celebration pro-gram: “For God will not forget how hard you have worked for Him and how you have shown your love to Him by caring for others as you still do.” Words of remembering, words of thanksgiving and special presentations followed.

Pastor Jefferson’s minis-try spanned Florida from coast to coast, including Miami, Bradenton, Ocala West, Bartow, Reddick, Or-ange Park and more. He was a gift to many.

He was active in the community here, serving with the United Way, the Chamber of Commerce and appearing in the play, “Joseph and the Techni-color Dream Coat,” and he served as chaplain for the Crystal River Pirates foot-ball team.

I recall the Bible studies

he taught at Crystal River United Methodist Church, the discipleship program, the Shepherding Program, the beginning of the Ste-phen Ministry, the estab-lishment of our present church on North Citrus Avenue after selling the downtown church to the First Baptist Church, which houses the Chris-tian school my grandson attends.

I recall the baptisms at the Legion Beach, now Hunter Springs, acquiring the Bethel Chapel, and so much more.

The love and respect that he extended to others came back to him and his family on this celebration day as, one by one, many attending spoke of his ministry with deep love and appreciation.

Local humorist Flea Bit, with his overgrown poodle

puppet, entertained with a bit of Pastor Jefferson’s legacy: Born in 1977, when gas was 55 cents, with the poodle asking, “What do pastors do?” “They teach, they are a shepherd with love sent from above.”

Other words of love from those attending:

n He was an encourager.

n His mantra: “God first, Jo second, the com-munity third.”

n His everyday life was his sermon.

n He was a friend and a mentor.

The Bushnell United Methodist Women pre-sented the Jeffersons with a commemorative quilt. When Psalm 91:1 and 4 was read — “Those who live in the shelter of the most High will find rest in the shadow of the Al-mighty. ... He will cover

you with his feathers. He will shelter you with His wings. His faithful prom-ises are your armor and protection” — and Tom Smith provided a “Wind Beneath My Wings” so-prano saxophone solo, it was a standing ovation for the Jefferson family.

The favors placed at each person’s place for the celebration said it all. They were mints with this message in red, white and blue:

To Pastor Alan and Jo,Thank youFor your…Achieve mintCommit mintEncourage mintInvolve mint

You are so very much appreciated.

Pastor Alan Jefferson thanked everyone who came to his retirement cel-ebration with, “It was an experience of a lifetime.” Jo Jefferson stated, “We were blessed by the church family at each church we served.”

It was such a beautiful way to honor Pastor Alan Jefferson and Jo and their family.

When you think of some of the great automobiles of the past, most of us don’t really know much about

a car known as the “Tucker 48” or by its nickname, the “Tucker Torpedo.” Preston Tucker, born in 1903, was obsessed with automobiles from an early age.

When the war in Europe began to heat up in 1939, Tucker began developing an armored combat car. Although the car it-self was not very successful, the highly-mobile power- operated gun turret which he developed for the vehicle and was later known as the “Tucker Turret,” was used on PT boats, landing craft and B-17 and B-29 bomber airplanes. Tucker moved back to Michigan in 1943 to start his new company, the Tucker Corporation.

After the war, the public was ready for totally new car de-signs. Tucker saw this as an op-portunity to develop and bring his “car of tomorrow” to market. Tucker’s future-car became known as the Tucker Torpedo, but not desiring to bring to mind the horrors of World War II, Tucker quickly changed the name to the Tucker 48.

Due to the methods Tucker used to raise capital for his car, Tucker Corpora-tion executives were charged by the Secu-rity and Exchange Commission (SEC) with 25 counts of mail fraud and five counts of violations of SEC regulations.

After a long court battle, all executives including Tucker, were found not guilty on all counts. Tucker had prevailed at the trial but the Tucker Corporation, now without a factory and buried in debt, was no more.

Unfortunately, the Tucker 48 never made it to production and only a total of 50 cars were ever produced.

CAR JOKEA man was hitchhiking on a very dark

night in the middle of a storm. Then sud-denly, he saw a car come towards him and stop. Instinctively, the man climbed in the car and closed the door, only to re-alize that no one was behind the wheel!

The car started moving slowly. He peered through the windshield at the

road ahead and, to his horror, he saw a tight curve. He was still in shock when, a few yards before the corner, a hand appeared through the window and turned the wheel.

The man, paralyzed with terror, watched how the hand appeared every time he ap-proached a corner. Finally, he summoned the strength to es-cape from the moving car and run to the nearest town.

Wet and shaking, he found a bar where he started telling

everyone about his terrible experience. About a half hour later, two men walked into the bar and one said to the other, “Look George, that’s the guy who climbed in our car when we were pushing it.”

not a dancer, but you’re curious, we wel-come you to join us.

The fun continues on Saturday, Oct. 5, when we will celebrate all dancers born in October with a birthday dance party. Of course, birthday cake will be served. Bill Dimmitt will be the DJ and dance in-structor. Dimmitt has a great singing voice and often treats the crowd to a song or two.

And it may be a little early for Hallow-een, but we will host a costume ball on Saturday, Oct. 19. So get your creative juices flowing and wow us with an origi-nal costume. Not into dressing up? That’s okay; costumes are not required. We have some surprises in store for your entertainment.

Butch Phillips will teach the dance les-son and DJ lots of spooky and seasonal tunes.

The Spirit of Citrus Dancers, USA Dance Chapter 6072, invites the public to join in the joy of dancing. Social

ballroom dance parties are held at the Kellner Auditorium, Jewish Community Center in Beverly Hills. Doors open at 6:45 p.m.
