County gets new mental-health provider - UFDC Image Array 2

Fred HiersStaff writer

Severe joint pain is the plague of a growing number of aging Americans, often battling arthri-tis and disabled because of the crippling disease.

Citrus County ranks the sec-ond highest among Florida’s

67 counties for the percent of adults physically limited in their activities because of arthritis, according to the FloridaCharts, which collects its data from the Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

In hopes of helping, the Bay-front Health Seven Rivers

hospital is offering a public sem-inar to discuss joint pain with a focus on knee and hip problems and options to alleviate the problem.

Citrus County ranks among the worst, regardless of age, for debilitating arthritis, which is often the cause of joint pain and the need for rehabilitation or surgery.

In 2013 — the latest year that data was available from

FloridaCharts — 10.1 percent of Citrus County residents ages 18-44 reported they were limited because of arthritis. That was more than double the Florida average that year for the same age group.

For Citrus County residents 45-64 years old, 32.4 percent re-ported limiting arthritis pain compared to the Florida aver-age of 17.4 percent.

Among those 64 years old and

older, nearly 26 percent of Cit-rus County residents reported that arthritis limited their lives. The Florida average for that age group was less than 23 percent.

Alex Hampton, Seven Rivers’ public relations and communi-cations coordinator, said that hospital leadership organized the Sept. 5 seminar because they saw the need, especially among active seniors.

Election Day arrives

STEVE LASKO/For the ChronicleChronicle political reporter Mike Wright, right, moderates as circuit court candidates Don Barbee and Edward Spaight answer questions during the Chronicle’s primary election forum July 23 at the Citrus County Auditorium.

Mike WrigHtStaff writer

Primary voting that started a month ago concludes tonight as the field nar-rows for the November ballot.

Supervisor of Elections Susan Gill is expecting a 32 percent voter turn-out, based on primary turnouts in past non-presidential years.

The turnout is already 20 percent from vote-by-mail and early voting, which means based on projections most people who plan to vote in the

primary have already done so.Some things to know about the bal-

lot and voting:n Polls are open from 7 a.m. to

7 p.m. Voting takes place at precinct polling places. Go to the elections website, www.votecitrus.com, if you’re not sure where to vote.

n Registered Republicans vote in the Republican primary; registered Democrats in the Democratic pri-mary. The races for school board and circuit court judge are open to all voters.

n While this is a primary, one race will be decided for sure: Fifth Judi-cial Circuit Court judge, with candi-dates Don Barbee and Edward Spaight. The circuit is Citrus, Her-nando, Lake, Marion and Sumter counties.

n School Board District 5 has four candidates. The overall winner is elected if he or she receives more than 50 percent of the vote. If not, the top two finishers are on the November ballot.

Today’s the last day to vote in the primaries

County gets new mental-health providerMike WrigHt

Staff writer

Citrus County’s quest for im-proved services to treat mental illness and addiction received the boost Monday that many said was needed.

Lutheran Services of Florida Health Systems, which contracts

with service-providers on the state’s behalf, announced Mon-day that Leesburg-based Lifestream Behavioral Center had received the contract for Citrus County.

The change means that The Centers, based in Ocala, will stop providing services in Citrus County as part of the Lutheran

Services contract it’s held since 2012.

Lecanto resident Gene McGee, who was outspoken in his criti-cism of The Centers, hailed the change.

“Lifestream is a world-class provider,” said McGee, a Tallahas-see lobbyist who advo-cates for mental-health funding for Citrus County. “They

have a tremendous reputation through the state.”

The contract takes ef-fect Oct. 1, Lifestream Chief Executive Officer Jon Cherry said. While financial negotiations are not finalized, Cherry said Lutheran Services indicated the contract is worth about $2.6 million.

Citrus County com-missioners in June voted 4-1 to

ask Lutheran Services to re-place The Centers. The county pays Lutheran Services just under $500,000 annually.

Commissioners agreed with critics who said The Centers did not have the financial where-withal to provide adequate ser-vices in Citrus County, particularly what many said is the need for a Baker Act and treatment facility.

n It’s Primary day! Polls are open from 7 a .m . to 7 p .m .

n The Chronicle will Facebook Live from the Supervisor of Elections Office in Inverness, starting at 7 p .m .

n Catch live local and statewide voting results on the Chronicle’s website, www .chronicleonline .com ., and its Facebook page .

Harley-Davidson CEO visits new Crystal Dealership

MICHAEL PATE/ChronicleThe president and CEO of Harley-Davidson Inc., Matt Levatich, made a visit last weekend to the new Harley-Davidson dealership in Crystal River. Levatich is an avid rider who lives in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Levatich and crew visited the brand new Crystal Harley in Crystal River en route from Miami, stopping at select Harley dealerships along the way. The ride is celebrating the 115th anniversary and will end in Milwaukee. Pictured from left are Matt Levatich, and Steve and Jewel Lamb, owners of Crystal Harley-Davidson.

Only Commissioner Jim-mie T. Smith sided with The Centers.

Cherry, in a phone inter-view Monday with the Chronicle, indicated he understands a county pri-ority is a Baker Act facility, known as a crisis stabiliza-tion unit.

“We’ll be working with county leaders and folks in Tallahassee to see how we can make that happen,” he said.

Commissioner Jeff Kin-nard said replacing The Centers with Lifestream was a good move.

“The Centers has had plenty of time to not only improve their services but improve their reach in the community,” Kinnard said.

Of Lifestream, Kinnard added: “They seem to be much more progressive when it comes to tackling mental-health issues.”

Chronicle Publisher Gerry Mulligan, who has

also been outspoken in his belief that the county is se-verely lacking in services to treat mental illness and ad-diction, said the commu-nity is “going to get serious” about providing a solution.

“This is a good first step,” he said.

Lifestream serves Lake and Sumter counties with 22 locations.

Cherry said Lifestream has had the state contract for Lake and Sumter counties for at least as long as he’s been there, and that’s 18 years.

McGee said Lifestream will learn Citrus County’s needs and act on them.

“They have experience in doing exactly what we need,” he said. “They’re very collaborative in their approach.”

Cherry agreed. “That’s

exactly the process we want to go through,” he said.

Coincidentally, a team of stakeholders organized by United Way of Citrus County already has a meeting planned this week. Cherry is planning to attend.

“It’s an opportunity for them to hear first hand from major leaders in our community as to what is needed,” United Way CEO Amy Meek said. “They are new to our community in providing this type of ser-vice. It’ll be vital that they hit the ground running with guidance from key stake-holders who are dealing with community-wide men-tal-health issues every day.”

Gas prices drop as summer wanes

Citrus County is gearing up to celebrate the final hol-iday of the summer, and drivers should find lower prices at the gas pump as they head out for fun.

Sunday’s state average of $2.73 per gallon is down 4 cents from last week, ac-cording to auto club AAA.

The reason: Declining demand and rising supplies.

“Pump prices are 40 to 50 cents higher than a year ago, but that spread will be erased by Labor Day,” said AAA spokesman Mark Jen-kins. “Holiday travelers will find pump prices at around the same level as last year.”

In 2017 gas prices spiked before Labor Day, after Hur-ricane Harvey struck the Gulf Coast. This year, mo-torists should benefit from a relatively quiet hurricane season along the east coast, AAA said.

“Although pump prices may fluctuate with surging holiday demand, AAA does not forecast a significant hike, unless there is an un-expected disruption in sup-ply,” Jenkins said.

Panther killed, three are bornThe 20th Florida panther

death of the year was an-nounced Monday morning by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

The remains of the uncol-lared 5-year-old female panther, known as UCFP337, were collected on Saturday by the agency on County Road 832 in Hendry County, approxi-mately 1.5 miles west of its intersection with County Road 833. The panther re-portedly died after being struck by a vehicle.

On Aug. 18, FWC biolo-gists also recorded a three-kitten litter in North Belle Meade. The kittens, two males and a female born to panther FP224 and an unknown father, were 18 days old at the time of their discovery. They were given the designations K491, K492 and K493.

Citizens can report in-jured or dead panthers to the FWC Wildlife Alert Ho-tline at 888-404-FWCC (3922).

With primary elections postponing its Monday meeting, the Crystal River City Council will recon-vene Wednesday evening to talk about paving and in-the-works projects.

Council members will vote on a motion for Pave-Rite Inc. to move ahead on a series of pav-ing projects, including:

Paving the parking area

on Northeast Third Street near Copeland Park to allow for three landscaped islands and additional be-atification, and sealing basketball courts.

Paving parallel parking and additional parking spots on Northeast Second Street near Hunter Springs Park.

Overlaying the city lot across from the train depot off Northeast Crys-tal Street.

Sealing the basketball court and portions of ex-isting parking lot at Leg-rone Park.

Update on halted FDEP project

City Manager Dave Bur-nell will update the

council on a state decon-tamination project that went awry several months ago in downtown Crystal River.

In late March, city resi-dents spotted turbid water spewing into Hunters Cover from a connecting canal, which led back to an excavation site at the southwest corner of U.S. 19 and the city’s Crosstown Trail.

According to reports, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) had signed a $245,792 contract with Tampa-based company Universal Solutions Inc. to remove a leaking under-ground petroleum tank, which was left over from a

former gas station.After halting the proj-

ect, investigating geolo-gists with FDEP revealed Universal crews had pumped out sediment- laced water onto roughly 21 square feet of wetlands nearby the canal.

FDEP removed Univer-sal from the job, and its tested water samples and soils at affected areas showed the expelled water was clean of harm-ful pollutants and its im-pacts were minimal. FDEP then worked to fill in its dig.

The council will also:Get an update on the

status of phase two, or the boardwalk portion of the city’s Riverwalk project

— a boardwalk-sidewalk connector between water-front and downtown busi-nesses. Discussions will include the city’s eligibil-ity for multi-year grant funding through the RE-STORE Act, which was ap-propriated from the BP Deepwater Horizon oil-spill settlement.

It’s almost September, which means it’s time for college foot-ball. Gator football fans in Cit-rus County paired their love of University of Florida (UF) ath-letics Saturday with a mean-ingful cause — student scholarships for UF-bound seniors.

Gator fans and education supporters launched a new season of football and scholar-ship fundraising Saturday night at the annual Citrus County Gator Club (CCGC) Kick-off Party scholarship fundraiser, raising money for student scholarships at the Cit-rus County Auditorium in Inverness.

“It’s a big tailgate party,” CCGC President Clint Collins said. “We feed everybody, and then we have games and all kinds of fun.”

For a $20 advance ticket or $25 at the door, guests were treated to a night of tailgating, games, auctions, raffles and Gator mania.

“It’s all about raising money to fund our scholarships,” CCGC vice president of com-munications Pam Padgett said. “We want to get all the seniors we can get in Citrus County into UF.”

The night began with a pre-sentation of colors by the Cit-rus High School Air Force Color Guard, the national an-them by the Citrus High School Breez chorus and invocation from emcee Dennis Miller. Guests were then treated to a tailgate-style dinner that in-cluded burgers, hot dogs, baked beans, coleslaw and an open bar. After dinner, author

and podcast host Buddy Martin took the stage to talk UF and the upcoming season.

“The whole point of all of this is for us to raise money for scholarships,” Collins said.

All proceeds from the eve-ning benefited the CCGC schol-arship fund.

“Everything is donated so ev-erything we make is just for scholarships,” Padgett said.

Throughout the night, attendees were able to buy Gator-themed items like cook books, hats, T-shirts, framed prints, grab bags and more.

“There’s a silent auction where we have a lot of items donated that you can buy that are Gator-related or other-wise,” Collins said. “You can buy raffle tickets or win differ-ent raffle tickets playing differ-ent games.”

Games included Solo cup games, cornhole and UF trivia.

“They’re questions all about

the University of Florida, not all sports related,” Collins said. “You can learn more about the university while you play the game.”

The CCGC hosts fundraising events throughout the year, and asks for donations in order to award scholarships annually to seniors from each Citrus County high school. The kick-off party is the first fundraiser the club hosts each year, and usually gets between 250-300 attendees.

“It’s important to me be-cause it allows us to get to-gether as a group to celebrate the start of a new football sea-son, and because we get to in-troduce the new recipients of our scholarships and also thank our sponsors,” Collins said.

Seven students were awarded the CCGC $1,500 scholarship last year — Ra-chael Copas, Grace Tyler and Sydney Beal from Citrus High

School, Alisa Luthra from Crys-tal River High School, and Ash-ley Schuler, Lauren Haynes and Dana Houpt from Lecanto High School.

“As long as they are a UF-bound student, they can apply for a scholarship,” Padgett said. “And we would love to give it to them. It will at least pay for books, or help pay for a dorm. It may not pay for every-thing, but it will help a whole lot.”

CCGC members are always looking for donations, and can be contacted at info@citrus countygatorclub.com, citrus countygatorclub.com or on the Citrus County Gator Club Face-book page.

“If we can get more, then we can make it (the scholarships) $2,000,” Padgett said.

“We are so blessed to live in Citrus County because there are so many people that give,” Collins said. “And we want to thank Citrus County.”

TALLAHASSEE — The Democratic primary for at-torney general is back on, at least for now, with the 1st District Court of Appeal issuing a temporary stay Monday that allows votes to be counted for candidate Ryan Torrens.

The stay by the Tallahassee-based appeals court was accompanied by an “expedited” review of a ruling Friday by Leon County Circuit Judge Karen Gievers that or-dered Torrens, an attorney from Hillsborough County, off the ballot for improp-erly writing a check that helped him cover the qual-ifying fee for the race.

State Rep. Sean Shaw, a

Tampa Democrat running against Torrens in Tues-day’s primary, filed the lawsuit seeking to have Torrens decertified as a candidate. Gievers held a non-jury trial Wednesday before issuing the ruling Friday. The outcome of the case could be decided after Tuesday’s voting.

During a press confer-ence Monday outside his law office in Tampa, Tor-rens expressed confidence in his chances at the polls, though Gievers’ ruling spread “a very negative view” of his campaign.

“Just by filing his last-minute lawsuit seeking to have me removed from the ballot, my opponent ac-c o m p l i s h e d a negative-politics messaging goal that he could not have

achieved by merely cam-paigning before voters as we have been doing the last 15 months,” Torrens said.

Torrens contends in the appeal that Shaw failed to follow steps required for such a complaint and that Gievers “exceeded” her authority, because a com-plaint over a campaign fi-nance violation should have gone to the Florida Elections Commission rather than circuit court.

“By statute, the sole rem-edy available to any private individual alleging a cam-paign finance violation is to file a sworn complaint with the Florida Elections Com-mission to initiate an inves-tigation,” Torrens’ appeal said. “Here, in a civil pro-ceeding at the behest of a political rival, without

conferring on Torrens the benefit of the procedural safeguards and higher bur-den of proof inherent in the requirement that removal from the ballot only occur if a candidate is convicted of a crime, the trial judge er-roneously ordered a politi-cal candidate’s removal from the ballot in the mid-dle of early voting and days before election day.”

Shaw argued that Tor-rens incorrectly signed his wife’s name to a check worth $4,000 from a “multi-ple holder” account in which each person con-trols how much they put in.

Individual donors, other than candidates, are lim-ited to contributing $3,000 in statewide races, and the check put Torrens’ wife over the cap.

Torrens maintains the check came from a joint ac-count and that candidates are allowed to loan unlim-ited amounts of money to their campaigns.

In the ruling, Gievers criticized Torrens for “se-lective memory” regarding the check and said he should be decertified as a candidate.

“As an attorney for some seven years, as a candidate for public office, as an ap-plicant for public financing to help with his campaign, and as a candidate to serve as the highest ranking law enforcement officer in the state, Mr. Torrens is charged with knowledge of the law,” Gievers wrote. “Mr. Torrens clearly acted contrary to the law, knowingly.”

EntErtainmEntDavid Letterman and Jimmy Carter launch

Habitat projectSOUTH BEND, Ind. — For-

mer President Jimmy Carter and comedian David Letterman have helped launch a Habitat for Humanity building blitz in north-ern Indiana.

The retired late-night TV host praised Carter and his wife, Rosa-lynn, for their dedication to the nonprofit during a Sunday event at the University of Notre Dame that kicked off a five-day Habitat for Humanity effort to build 23 homes in adjacent Mishawaka.

Letterman told the roughly 4,000 attendees that if it weren’t for the Democratic former presi-dent and his wife, he wouldn’t have become a Habitat for Hu-manity volunteer.

Alice Paul Tapper, daughter of Jake, has picture book

NEW YORK — Jake Tapper isn’t the only author in his family.

The CNN anchor’s daughter has a picture book coming in March, Penguin Young Readers announced. Alice Paul Tapper, who turned 11 on Monday, has collaborated with illustrator Marta Kissi on “Raise Your Hand.” The book originates from an idea Alice and fellow Girl Scouts developed after Alice noticed that on a school trip the boys spoke up and girls re-mained quiet. Girl Scouts can re-ceive a “Raise Your Hand” patch by promising to raise their hands in class and get at least three oth-ers to do the same. Tapper said she hoped her book would inspire girls “to be bold and brave.”

Jake Tapper’s books include the best-selling thriller “The Hell-fire Club.”

“It’s important to know what’s going on in your body,” she said. “And the more you know the better you’ll do.”

While the seminar will focus on hip and knee problems, hospital experts will also address other ex-tremity joint issues.

Hospital health-care of-ficials will also discuss treatment options, when surgery is needed, what it can do, or whether the pa-tient is better off getting rehabilitation.

That’s also when hospital health-care professional will show seminar partici-pants what services the hospital offers and which might meet the needs of seminar attendees.

About 60 percent of the hospital’s surgeries are to correct joint problems, Hampton said.

The number of people with severe joint problems is not likely to shrink.

In 2002, about 10.5 mil-lion people in the United States reported they had severe joint pain, accord-ing to a 2016 CDC report. By 2014 that number had increased to 14.6 million people, the report showed.

The CDC defined severe pain as pain measuring 7 on a scale of 1–10, with 10 being the worst pain.

And because much of joint pain is linked to ar-thritis, the report pre-dicted joint problems would likely increase.

In 2014, more than 27 percent of adults with arthritis also had severe joint pain, according to the CDC report.

Meanwhile, between 2010–2012, an estimated 52.5 million American adults had arthritis. The CDC expects that number to increase to 78.4 million by 2040, according to the CDC.

Meanwhile, the presence of severe joint pain was most prevalent among adult women with about 29 per-cent reporting the affliction. About 42 percent of blacks reported severe joint pain and nearly 36 percent

among Hispanics, according to the CDC report.

About 45 percent of peo-ple with a disability re-ported severe joint pain, 32 percent of people with obesity, 34 percent with heart disease, 41 percent with diabetes, and 56 per-cent with serious psycho-logical stress, according to the CDC report.

Hampton thinks Citrus County ranks high with se-vere joint pain and arthri-tis because many of its residents are poor.

She said that many don’t or can’t take preventative steps or don’t go and see doctors or can’t afford one.

“They just don’t have access to primary-care physicians who would as-sist them with preventa-tive care,” she said.

The seminar will focus on hips and knees because “in our community our citizens are older,” she said, “and you use your hips a lot and you use your knees a lot.”

If interested in attending the Bayfront Health semi-nar, the meeting is 1 to 2 p.m. with a ques-tion-and-answer period. It will be at the Senior Circle Center, 11537 West Emer-ald Oaks Dr., Crystal River.

Attendees can register by telephoning at 352-795-1234, but calling ahead is not mandatory.

None injured after cruiser collides with vehicle

Buster thompsonStaff writer

A Citrus County Sher-iff ’s Office patrol car col-lided with a car Monday afternoon near a Beverly Hills-area intersection.

Neither the deputy nor the driver of a silver Mazda was hospitalized after their vehicles struck on West Hampshire Boulevard, just west of the intersection with County Road 491.

Sheriff ’s officials requested the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) to investigate the crash, and identities of those involved were not released.

According to an investi-gating sergeant with FHP,

the crash happened around noon, when the

deputy was trying to turn left onto Hampshire

Boulevard from a drive-way to Pine Springs Plaza.

At the same time, the Mazda was traveling east on Hampshire Boulevard and was slowing to stop at the intersection with C.R. 491, but the deputy pulled out in front of the Mazda and collided with its front passenger side.

The collision dealt mod-erate damage to the

Mazda, and minor damage to the front of the deputy’s cruiser, which was shielded by a grill cover.

Charges are pending, the FHP sergeant said, and more information will be released once available.

DETROIT — Aretha Franklin had admirers the world over, but there’s no doubt the flame burned brightest in Detroit — the place she was raised and remained for most of her life.

It’s difficult to separate the singer from the city, so you better think that her town is saying farewell in royal fashion to its Queen of Soul, with a concert, public viewings and a funeral that’s expected to be attended by at least one former president, civil rights leaders and many other musical luminaries.

Here are some of the events and ways in which Detroit is paying respect to Franklin, who died Aug. 16 of pancreatic cancer at the age of 76:

RESPECTPublic viewings are planned Tuesday and

Wednesday at the Charles H. Wright Museum of Af-rican American History, which is also where civil rights icon Rosa Parks lay in repose after her 2005 death.

Thousands of mourners are expected to come to the museum, which had been the largest black mu-seum in the United States until the National Mu-seum of African American History and Culture opened in Washington, D.C., in 2016.

AMAZING GRACEThe Friday funeral at Detroit’s Greater Grace

Temple is billed as an event for friends and family only.

The all-star lineup of performers includes Stevie Wonder, Faith Hill, Jennifer Hudson, Fantasia and Shirley Caesar. Also slated to perform are Ron Isley, Chaka Khan, Yolanda Adams, Jennifer Holliday and Franklin’s son, Edward Franklin.

The service will reflect Franklin’s strong gospel roots. Among the gospel voices expected to fill Greater Grace include Marvin Sapp, the Clark Sis-ters and Vanessa Bell Armstrong.

VIPs aren’t expected to be limited to the musical kind: Scheduled to speak at the service is former President Bill Clinton, whose inaugurations fea-tured performances by Franklin. Others include the Revs. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, Bishop T. D. Jakes, Cicely Tyson, former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, Clive Davis and Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder.

Smokey Robinson also plans to pay tribute with words, not music. The Motown “Miracle” and Frank-lin grew up together and delivered a spine-tingling duet on Soul Train in 1979.

The Rev. Jasper Williams Jr., pastor of Atlanta’s Salem Baptist Church, will deliver the eulogy.

FREEWAY OF LOVEGreater Grace Temple is calling on people with

pink Cadillacs to line up before the funeral in an effort to create a “Freeway of Love” in tribute to Franklin. That’s a nod to her funky ‘80s tune of the same name that prominently featured the car in the lyrics and video.

Those who line the route get a special perk: The driver of the Caddy and one extra person will be ad-mitted to the funeral.

I SAY A LITTLE PRAYERAfter the funeral, Franklin will be entombed at

Woodlawn Cemetery in Detroit, along with her fa-ther, Rev. C.L. Franklin; brother Cecil Franklin; sis-ters Carolyn Franklin and Erma Franklin; and nephew, Thomas Garrett. Woodlawn also is the final resting place for Parks and many of the Motor City’s musical elite, including members of the Four Tops.

Climate linked to Neanderthal disappearanceAssociated Press

NEW YORK — Ancient periods of cold and dry cli-mate helped our species replace Neanderthals in Europe, a study suggests.

Researchers found that such cold periods coin-cided with an apparent disappearance of our

evolutionary cousins in different parts of the con-tinent, followed by the ap-pearance of our species, Homo sapiens.

Neanderthals once lived in Europe and Asia but died out about 40,000 years ago, just a few thousand years after our species, Homo sapiens, arrived in

Europe. Scientists have long debated what hap-pened, and some have blamed the change in cli-mate. Other proposed ex-planations have included epidemics and the idea that the newcomers edged out the Neanderthals for resources.

Staubwasser and

colleagues reported their findings Monday in the Proceedings of the Na-tional Academy of Sci-ences. They drew on existing climate, archaeo-logical and ecological data and added new indicators of ancient climate from studies of two caves in Romania.

SAN FRANCISCO — Uber is teaming up with Toyota to build self-driving cars for its ride-hailing service after its efforts to do it alone were derailed by a fatal col-lision and allegations of high-tech theft.

Toyota, based in Japan, is also invest-ing $500 million in Uber as part of the alliance announced Monday.

The deal aims to combine the best

features from the two companies’ work on autonomous technology into cars that will be picking up Uber’s customers by 2021.

By the time that happens, Uber hopes to have completed an initial public offer-ing of stock that will enrich a list of early investors that now includes Toyota. Those investors have been pouring bil-lions of dollars into Uber’s revolutionary ride-hailing service that still hasn’t proven it can make money since its in-ception nearly a decade ago.

An experimental heart drug reduced the risk of death, but the stock still gave up some recent gains.

U.S. automakers jumped as inves-tors hoped a U.S.-Mexico trade deal was near.

Technology stocks and other com-panies that stand to benefit from faster economic growth rose.

The cabinet maker had a better first quarter than analysts expected.

CEO Elon Musk abandoned an ef-fort to take the electric car maker private.

Stocks posted solid gains Mon-day after the White House said it reached a preliminary agree-ment with Mexico on replacing the NAFTA trade deal. Auto-makers, which stand to benefit from warmer trade relations be-tween the U.S. and Mexico, rose sharply.

NEW YORK — Stocks posted solid gains on Mon-day after the White House said it reached a prelimi-nary agreement with Mex-ico on replacing NAFTA. The Nasdaq composite index topped 8,000 for the first time.

The trade deal is far from final and few details were made public during trading hours Monday, but investors were encour-aged that the countries are working toward a resolution.

The U.S. still needs to reach an understanding with Canada, the third party in the accord and the second-largest trading partner for the U.S. Cana-da’s NAFTA negotiator, Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland, is scheduled to fly to Washington Tuesday to try to restart talks.

Automakers, which would stand to benefit from warmer trade rela-tions between the U.S. and Mexico, rose sharply. Major exporters including chemical and industrial companies rose, and so did banks and technology companies.

“Most of this year has

been a series of poten-tially negative events on trade, setting up barriers to trade,” said Craig Birk, chief investment officer for Personal Capital. “The market is welcoming any-thing that’s the opposite.”

Birk said investors were glad to get some good news on trade even though talks on a NAFTA replacement will likely continue be-yond the Congressional elections this fall and into 2019.

The S&P 500 index climbed 22.05 points, or 0.8 percent, to 2,896.74. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 259.29 points, or 1 percent, to

26,049.64. The Nasdaq composite gained 71.92 points, or 0.9 percent, to 8,017.90. The Russell 2000 index of smaller-company stocks added 2.73 points, or 0.2 percent, to 1,728.41.

Among automakers, GM gained 4.8 percent to $37.69 and Ford rose 3.2 percent to $9.99.

Construction equipment maker Caterpillar rose 2.8 percent to $142.04 and chemicals maker DowDu-Pont gained 2.3 percent to $70.81.

Alphabet, Google’s par-ent company, climbed 1.6 percent to $1,256.27. On-line retailer Amazon rose 1.2 percent to $1,927.68.

Why one and not the other?

What I’d like to know, I’ve got neighbors who’ve got a pit bull dog that bit my neighbor, put him in the hospital and no citation (was) issued by animal control. But yet the same people that owns the dog called animal con-trol on me, said I had a vicious cat that lives in my house that’s around little kids and nothing’s ever been done, but yet I got a warning for that. Go figure that.

Why only one pre-K location?

We all live in Citrus County school district. I was wondering why pre-K is offered free of charge at Homosassa Elementary but not Lecanto, Crystal River and the other parts of the school dis-trict. That doesn’t seem like a fair judgment. Why isn’t it offered at all Citrus County schools? We all pay taxes for all the schools. Why does one school have pre-K and the rest do not? I’d like an answer

for that one. Doesn’t seem very fair when we all pay uniform taxes.

Let’s hope things stay in harmonySheriff Prendergast

makes the right decision. It appears that our newly elected sheriff has finally made the right decision on SROs. Early on, it looked as if he either wanted to use the safe school program to en-hance his budget — which is

already somewhat bloated — or had forgot-ten that he was elected to protect and serve the citizens of this county, in-cluding our most pre-cious resource: our children. And congratula-tions to Superintendent Himmel for making it plain to him that we were going to have a protective

force to safeguard our schools with or without the help of Sheriff Prendergast. So all parties now

appear to be in harmony. Let’s hope it stays that way.

Thank you for a kind gesture

On Wednesday, Aug. 8, at about 9 in the morning, my wife and I had breakfast at The Breakfast Station in Crystal River. When we finished, we asked for the bill and we were told it was paid for. We’d like to thank the person that was so kind in doing so. Once again, Max and Jenny having breakfast at The Breakfast Station thank you.

Shelter Me Citrus still needs supportThank you to the commu-

nity for Shelter Me Citrus Inc. Shelter Me Citrus continues to strive to raise the construc-tion funds for a new Citrus County animal shelter. As you know, at least at the present time, the Citrus County bud-get does not have appropria-tions for such expenditure. In the event the funds are raised and the shelter is built, it will be owned and operated by the county.

One path for collecting funds has been to hold fund-raiser events. The next fund-raiser will be from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Oct. 6 at the Central Ridge Community Center. The event will include a BBQ lunch, door prizes, lotto draw-ing basket, painting by Annie, along with conversation and fun.

Shelter Me Citrus is seek-ing your continued support with this effort of fundrais-ing. Your support can be in one or more ways: Donate a door prize basket, purchase a ticket ($10 each), or serve as a sponsor for the event. Please send ticket re-quest(s), questions and or comments to us: shelter [email protected].

Again, thank you for your previous support and we sin-cerely ask for continued support.

Thank you for the recognition

I would like to thank the person who nominated Dr. Roy A. Horn for the Physi-cian’s Excellence category in the Healthcare Heroes of 2018, and for those who voted for him. Although he did not win, I cannot think of a better tribute to the life and love he gave to helping his fellow man.

Dr. Horn always felt his patients were special, and he had a special connection with each and every one of you. Whether it was remem-bering about your “passion” about fishing or hunting, your children, grandchil-dren, or pate, or your recent travel — of which he was al-ways thankful to get a

trinket from “where ever” — or maybe that car or motor-bike, Dr. Horn was quick to “catch up,” congratulate an accomplishment or addition, share your joys, or comfort your sorrows. Again, thank you for the nomination and votes — what an honor to a humble servant.

Clearer road signs would be terrific

I just read the letter from Nikki Hagan (“Make road signs clearer,” Aug. 21, page A9) and I could not agree with her more. I am rela-tively new here in Crystal River and came from areas where regular roads had word names and only the large highways were num-bered. I would love it if the name and route number were on the same sign. That way, everyone would know where they were and would eliminate confusion for new and visiting guests to this wonderful town we call home.

I don’t think the cost would be prohibitive if decals were placed on the current road signs. I hope this gains some traction from others who share our ideas.

Thanks for the opportunity to weigh in.

Revisit Crystal River City Hall location

In light of the recent election of Crystal River city council, I feel it necessary to revisit the locations listed for a new city hall, because I belive they will be poping up again soon.

I have no problem remodel-ing, rebuilding or relocating, except for the location at U.S. 19 and Citrus Avenue. When elected to city council, you are also a Community Rede-velopment Agency member. I like a lot of the work and the people at the CRA, but they are on a mission to get city hall in their area.

Let me list why I think that location is so wrong.

First, that area and in front of Oysters are the worst flood areas in town; even with building to code, first responders could not get to or from it in a flood.

Second, parking — not enough parking for busi-nesses, the beach, etc. al-ready. Just last week the city was having problems.

Third, designated wetland: Remember the old gas sta-tion propery next door that flooded 5 feet down while trying to dig out bad soil?

Fourth, doesn’t fit the area. That is an area for en-tertainment, restaurants, shops, bars, the Stone Crab Jam, etc.

Fifth, already the city and the Department of Transpor-tation are talking about re-moving turn lanes on U.S. 19. Traffic already is backed up in town without the extra business trying to get there. This is just a bad idea; I think the CRA would do bet-ter to get DOT to make a truck route at Turkey Oak or an elevated crosswalk over U.S. 19 to remove excessive traffic and keep people safer.

DIFFERENT WORLD

Online threats: Parents must

remain vigilantWhen most of today’s

parents were grow-ing up, their parents

could monitor who their friends and associates were because they lived in the neighborhood. The neigh-borhood for today’s young people is the entire world that can be reached by com-puter or smartphone.

This makes monitoring much more difficult, but no less im-portant, because according to stud-ies by the Brook-ings Institution:

n 1 in 5 teens who spend time on the internet regularly report having received unwanted sexual solicitations of some type from people they don’t know.

n Only 25 per-cent of children who encoun-ter sexual solicitation tell their parents or other trusted adults about the solicitation.

And while online sexual solicitation is a real threat, parents also need to under-stand cyberbullying and how it affects young people. Ac-cording to the Tulane Uni-versity School of Social work:

n Around 1 in 3 experience bullying through the aca-demic year.

n Only 15 percent of stu-dents admit to being cyberbullied.

n 61 percent of overweight teens have reported being bullied online.

n 70 percent of K-12 stu-dents have witnessed cyber-bullying take place.

n Only 10 percent of cyber-bullying victims will report to an adult about getting cyberbullied.

All of this data screams loudly that parents need to monitor their children’s on-line activities and be partic-ularly sensitive to clues that their child is being solicited sexually or bullied.

Some clues are:n The child receiving

phone calls, texts or emails from strangers.

n You find sexually ex-plicit photos/videos on their computer or mobile device.

n You find the child uses hidden social network ac-counts or secret emails.

n When approached, the child quickly switches off the screen or closes the app.

n You notice signs of anxiety or withdrawal from normal activity.

According to ex-perts on cyber-stalking and bullying, parents can counter these threats by talking with their chil-dren about online predators and the danger of giving

out personal information such as full name, address, etc. Parents should also insist on having passwords to all of the child’s social networks and encouraging them to tell their worries and fears as well as any solicitations they receive.

Parents can also monitor the apps their child has on their computer or phone and use technologies such as a parental monitoring app to help keep an eye on their children’s internet activity.

There are many resources to help parents. One re-source that lists multiple websites for information is at www.antibullying.net. Many other resources can be accessed by doing a search for topics such as online sex-ual predators or online bullying.

The internet is a wonder-ful resource, and it is also sometimes a dark street where shady characters hang out. Being alert and working with your children on internet safety can make it a wonderful resource for them, and prevent it from being the darkened street.

THE ISSUE:With multiple

online applications, children face threats from

many sources.

OUR OPINION:Parents need to know who their

children are talking to and what they are discussing.

ORLANDO — The pro-posed contract Walt Dis-ney World’s unionized workers will vote on next week would increase the starting minimum wage by at least 46 percent over three years to $15 an hour, while enabling Disney to use more part-time work-ers and requiring new workers to stay in their po-sitions longer before transferring, according to new details released Monday.

The proposed four-year contract would raise wages for existing workers by at least $4.75 an hour by October 2021.

A coalition of six unions representing Disney World workers is recom-mending that its members approve the deal, which was reached late last week after about a year of nego-tiations. An earlier pro-posal was rejected by workers last year. The con-tract covers costumed characters, bus drivers, launderers, retail work-ers, monorail drivers, cus-todians, housekeepers, servers, cooks, florists, makeup artists and life-guards, among other workers.

“There is no question in my mind that our mem-bers are proud of this his-torical agreement and their vote will reflect that,” said Matt Hollis, the new president of the Ser-vice Trades Council Union, the coalition of

unions.If the contract is rati-

fied, each Florida worker will receive a $1,000 bonus that Disney had paid to other employees after last year’s tax cut by Congress.

“I hope it’s a deal every-body likes. It took a long time and ultimately every-body came together and we will be making more money,” said Ed Cham-bers, who headed the Ser-vice Trades Council until recently.

The deal covers more than half of the 70,000 workers at Walt Disney World, which is the largest single-site employer in the United States.

Union activists all over the country have been pushing for a $15 an hour “living wage.” Disney’s wage decisions have his-torically influenced other employers in the tourism mecca of Orlando where the industry is competing for workers in a time of low employment. Last month, Disney agreed to raise the minimum wage for 9,700 employees at its California theme park re-sort to $15 an hour.

In a statement, Disney officials called the Florida deal “the largest proposal ever offered” by the theme park resort.

“We are thrilled our cast members will have the chance to vote on what is one of the highest en-try-level service wages in the country,” said Robbin Almand, vice president of labor relations for Walt Disney Parks and Resorts.

In the proposal, the unions agreed to allow Disney to use more part-time workers. Under the current contract, slightly more than a third of the union workforce can be part-timers, but that would be raised to almost two-fifths of the workforce in the new deal.

New hires also would have to wait longer to switch jobs under the pro-posed deal. The current contract allows for a trans-fer after six months, but that would change to a year under the new contract.

The new contract also would expand the types of workers who could be sub-ject to random drug tests

to include lifeguards, fish-ing guides and employees

who work with children, Hollis said.

Hundreds of fish die in lagoon

in tony MalibuLOS ANGELES — Cali-

fornia officials were trying Monday to solve a stinky mystery: A die-off has left hundreds of fish floating in a recently restored lagoon on the tony Malibu coast.

Scientists believe the Malibu Lagoon die-off, which began last Wednes-day, is likely caused by un-usually warm water temperatures, said Craig Sap, superintendent of Cali-fornia State Parks’ Angeles District.

“We had many days in a row of warmer-than-usual temperatures. We hadn’t had much of a breeze down there to keep the tempera-tures down,” Sap said.

Other possibilities include elevated nutrient levels, dropping levels of dissolved oxygen or having too many fish in the lagoon. Officials are taking water samples and fish for testing.

Malibu Lagoon under-went a controversial resto-ration project in 2013.

Major conservation groups, including Sierra Club and Audubon Society chapters, backed the resto-ration, but others sued to stop the project, contending it would destroy sensitive wildlife habitat. The battle lasted for years but the proj-ect finally broke ground in 2012.

The die-off has raised lo-cals’ concerns about what some call failures in the project.

Resident Wendy Dunn told KTLA that State Parks ignored plans for so-called breach points that would allow the lagoon water to mix with fresh ocean water to keep proper oxygen levels.

Sap said breaching man-ually would cause more damage to the ecosystem.

He said the lagoon proj-ect improved the ecosystem by providing better oxygen levels and the number of fish in the lagoon has since increased.

The defense paper ap-proved Tuesday by the Cabinet said Japan must add costly missile defense systems to be fully pre-pared while watching if North Korea keeps its promise.

President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signed a vague joint statement at their summit that included agreements to denuclearize the peninsula. Trump last week directed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to delay a planned trip to the North, citing insufficient progress.

WASHINGTON — Snub-bing Canada, the Trump administration reached a preliminary deal Monday with Mexico to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement — a move that raised legal questions and threatened to disrupt the operations of companies that do busi-ness across the three- country trade bloc.

President Donald Trump suggested that he

might leave Canada, Amer-ica’s No. 2 trading partner, out of a new agreement. He said he wanted to call the revamped trade pact “the United States-Mexico Trade Agreement” be-cause, in his view, NAFTA had earned a reputation as being harmful to American workers.

But first, he said, he would give Canada a chance to get back in — “if they’d like to negotiate fairly.” To intensify the pressure on Ottawa to agree to his terms, the president threatened to impose new taxes on Cana-dian auto imports.

Canada’s NAFTA negoti-ator, Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland, is cut-ting short a trip to Europe to fly to Washington on Tuesday to try to restart talks.

“We will only sign a new NAFTA that is good for Canada and good for the middle class,” said Adam Austen, a spokesman for Freeland, adding that “Canada’s signature is required.”

“There is still a great deal of uncertainty — trep-idation, nervousness — a feeling that we are on the outside looking in,” said Peter MacKay, a former

Canadian minister of jus-tice, defense and foreign affairs who is now a part-ner at the law firm Baker McKenzie.

Critics denounced the prospect of cutting Canada out a North American trade pact, in part because of the risks it could pose for companies involved in international trade. Many manufacturers have built complex but vital supply chains that cross all three NAFTA borders.

Trump was quick to pro-claim victory, though, pointing to Monday’s surge in stock prices, which was fueled in part by the appar-ent breakthrough with Mexico.

“We just signed a trade

agreement with Mexico, and it’s a terrific agree-ment for everybody,” the president said. “It’s an agreement that a lot of peo-ple said couldn’t be done.”

Trump has frequently condemned the 24-year-old NAFTA trade pact as a job-killing “disaster” for American workers. NAFTA reduced most trade barri-ers between the three countries. But the presi-dent and other critics say it encouraged U.S. manufac-turers to move south of the border to exploit low-wage Mexican labor.

The preliminary deal with Mexico might encour-age more manufacturing in the United States. Yet it is far from final. Even after

being formally signed, it would have be ratified by lawmakers in each country.

The U.S. Congress wouldn’t vote on it until next year — after Novem-ber midterm elections that could end Republican con-trol of the House of Representatives.

“There are still a lot of questions left to be an-swered,” MacKay said. He noted, for example, that Trump said nothing Mon-day about dropping U.S. tariffs on Mexican or Cana-dian steel — tariffs that were imposed, in part, to pressure those countries to reach an agreement on NAFTA.

HONOLULU — Hawaii officials on Monday con-tinued assessing damage from Tropical Storm Lane, which ranked as the No. 3 rainmaker from a tropical cyclone in the United States since 1950.

It’s still too early to quantify the extent of the damage, but it runs the gamut from flooded homes to washed-out roads, said Kelly Wooten, spokes-woman for the Hawaii County Civil Defense Agency.

“We don’t really have any numbers or statistics back yet,” she said. Assess-ment teams began survey-ing the damage Sunday.

The storm caused dam-age, mostly on the Big Is-land, where rivers raged near Hilo and nearly 40 people had to be rescued from homes.

There were no deaths from the storm, which had the potential to cause much more destruction.

Some 200 people have called to report some kind of damage, mostly on the east side of the Big Island, said county Managing Di-rector Wil Okabe.

“What we’re concerned about is the mold — when

it goes into the drywall, the rug, stuff like that,” Okabe said.

The storm named Lane was barreling toward the Hawaiian Islands as a powerful Category 5 hurri-cane in the middle of the week. But then it slowed down, moving as slow as 2 mph at times.

While it slowed, the

storm’s outer bands hov-ered over the east side of the Big Island, allowing Lane to drop 51.53 inches of rain, the National Weather Service said Monday.

On Sunday, state Sen. Kai Kahele surveyed flood damage at Waiakea Ele-mentary School in Hilo on the Big island. Six

classrooms for preschool, special education and kin-dergarten students flooded and the smell of mildew was settling in, he said.

“I think it’s reflective of what you see all over east Hawaii,” he said. “Four feet of water in three days overwhelmed even the best infrastructure and the best storm drains and plans.”

As the island continued to clean up from the storm, some people were feeling like it could have been worse if Lane remained a hurricane and unleashed destructive winds.

Catarine Zaragoza- Dodge, owner of The Loca-vore Store in Hilo, was feeling grateful her shop fared better than others. The store got some flood-ing Thursday night and they were able to mop up waterproof vinyl floors on Friday in order to re-open by Saturday.

Parts of Hawaii are still seeing the effects of Lane, said National Weather Service Meteorologist Vannesa Almanza.

A flash flood warning was in effect for Kauai and the Big Island Monday.

“We’re expecting some dryer air to move in Tues-day night into Friday,” Al-manza said, which could bring some relief to the Big Island, where it con-tinued to pour Monday morning.

Close before, closer this time.In particular in District 6A-7 vol-

leyball, which it seemed couldn’t get a much closer finish than it had in 2017. Nature Coast ruled the regular season with a 10-2 district record; right behind were Crystal River, Weeki Wachee and Lecanto bunched together in a tie for second at 8-4.

Those teams all figure to be in the title hunt again this season, but with a bit of an alteration.

Citrus, just 2-10 in district play a year ago, looks to be much improved — enough so that the Hurricanes could challenge for one of the upper

berths. And Hernando (6-6 last sea-son) looks improved, too, all of which makes choosing a champ a toss-up.

Weeki Wachee defeated Nature Coast for the 6A-7 crown a year ago and reached the second round of re-gional play before being eliminated by Fivay.

In the ridiculously overstuffed 2A-4 — there are 11 teams, stretch-ing from two in Ocala to four in Tampa and one in Clearwater — Seven Rivers Christian has all but two players returning from a squad that went 8-1 in district play and made it to the Elite Eight in tourna-ment action. Expect the Warriors to again be serious contenders.

squads, along with Citrus, will battle for the District 6A-7 crown this fall.

Franks gets nod

Mullen names Gators’ starting quarterback to open seasonMaRk LongAP sports writer

Feleipe Franks’ mobility landed him the starting quarterback job at Florida.

Coach Dan Mullen named Franks the team’s starter to begin the season, say-ing Monday that his “ability to extend plays, some of his athleticism right now, will give us the best opportunity to win games.”

It’s not exactly a glowing endorse-ment for Franks, who will take the first snap when the Gators open against Charleston Southern on Saturday night.

Franks, a 6-foot-6 sophomore who started eight games in 2017, edged Kyle Trask in a competition that started in March and lasted through fall camp.

“Obviously, he’s got a strong arm,” Mullen said. “He can do some different things, make throws that a lot of people can’t just on pure talent. I think he’s got very good athletic ability. That can show in his ability to run the ball, show in his ability to scramble and extend plays.

“He’s got good size to be a physical player. He’s not worried. He’s not ner-vous about being a physical player. He’s got some toughness that way. When you look at those things, those are some things that we’ll build on.”

Franks threw for 1,438 yards in 11 games last season, finishing with nine touchdowns and eight intercep-tions. He had a few highlights, including a 63-yard touchdown pass on the final play to beat Tennessee 26-20 and a

79-yard run against Texas A&M a month later that was the longest by a Florida quarterback in school history.

Franks also was benched twice, once in favor of Luke Del Rio and again later in the year for Malik Zaire.

“His confidence is really high,” re-ceiver Josh Hammond said. “He’s been through the worst and he feels like it’s only up from now. He’s definitely really confident and just ready to get out and compete.”

Franks taking so long to secure the job could be considered an indictment of his ability, especially since Trask wasn’t a starter in high school, missed all of last season following foot surgery and was slowed in camp by a blister on his

TALLAHASSEE — Deondre Francois is back in the driver’s seat.

The junior quarterback beat out James Blackman and Bailey Hock-man for the opportunity to start for No. 19 Florida State in the sea-son opener against No. 20 Vir-ginia Tech on Sept. 3. Coach Wil-lie Taggart made the announce-ment on Monday prior to practice.

“In every scrim-mage we’ve had, he’s been really impressive,” Taggart said. “And the same thing in practice. And they all have. It’s been a good competition.

“But I think when you look at the overall body of work and when they’re in there running the of-fense, we feel like Deondre gives us the best shot.”

Francois threw for 3,350 yards, 20 touchdowns and seven intercep-tions in 2016 when he was named the Atlantic Coast Conference’s rookie of the year. He suffered a season-ending knee injury last year in the Seminoles’ opener against Alabama and had surgery three days later to repair the patel-lar tendon in his left knee.

Francois was limited during spring practices but was cleared for full participation when the Seminoles began preseason prac-tices. Taggart said he informed all three quarterbacks about the deci-sion on Sunday.

“When he’s in there running the offense, it’s a lot more efficient, a lot less mistakes,” Taggart said. “That’s important when playing the position.”

Blackman had stepped in to start after Francois’ surgery and the competition has been viewed as one of the most important ones of the preseason as well as a major decision for Taggart, who prepares for his first season as Florida State’s coach.

Francois was investigated for a pair of off-field incidents and took part in a diversion program for a misdemeanor marijuana charge. He moved back on campus and has strengthened his relationship with teammates.

Taggart said “he’s been doing ev-erything we’ve asked him to do and more.”

As a true freshman, Blackman threw for 2,230 yards, 19 touch-downs and 11 interceptions. Hock-man took a redshirt in 2017, his first year on campus, and often ran the Seminoles’ scout team.

Taggart thinks Blackman and Hockman will be ready if called upon.

“I think with a guy like James, and just going through what he went through last year, he under-stands he’s got to be ready and not sit around or pout,” Taggart said. “Just like that, he could be in the game. And the same thing with Bailey. He’s the same way: he’s going to work and compete and make sure he’s ready to go as well.”

AUG. 281926: Emil Levsen of the Cleveland Indians pitched two complete-game victories over the Boston Red Sox, 6-1 and 5-1. He did not strike out a batter in either game. The Indians used the identical lineup in both games.1951: The Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the New York Giants 2-0, snapping the Giants’ 16-game winning streak. The streak enabled the Giants to cut the Dodg-ers 13-game lead to six.1977: In a 6-1 loss to the Baltimore Orioles, Nolan Ryan of the California Angles struck out 11 batters to pass the 300-strikeout plateau for the fifth time in his career.1990: Ryne Sandberg became the first second baseman in history to have consecutive 30-homer seasons, lead-ing the Cubs to a 5-2 victory over the Houston Astros.1992: The Milwaukee Brewers set an American League record with 31 hits and 26 singles in a 22-2 rout of the Toronto Blue Jays.2014: San Francisco’s Yusmeiro Petit set a major league record when he retired his 46th batter in a row, and the Giants beat Colorado 3-1. Petit got the first eight Colorado hitters, establishing the mark by striking out Charlie Culberson. That broke Mark Buehrle’s record of 45 straight with the Chicago White Sox in 2009. Petit’s streak covered eight games, six of them in relief.2016: Ryan Harlost led Endwell, New York, to the Little League World Series title, striking out eight and limiting South Korea to five hits in six innings in a 2-1 victory.

No. 1 Halep one and done

Howard FendricHAP tennis writer

NEW YORK — Some players, like top-ranked Simona Halep, freely acknowledge they don’t deal well with the hustle-and- bustle of the U.S. Open and all it entails.

Others, like 44th-ranked Kaia Kanepi, take to the Big Apple and its Grand Slam tournament.

Put those two types at opposite ends of a court at Flushing Meadows and watch what can happen: Halep made a quick-as-can-be exit Monday, overwhelmed by the power- based game of Kanepi 6-2, 6-4 to become the first No. 1-seeded woman to lose her opening match at the U.S. Open in the half-century of the professional era.

Her departure means she can’t stand in the way of Serena Williams, who could have faced Halep in the fourth round. Williams, the 23-time major champion who missed last year’s U.S. Open because she gave birth on Sept. 1, returned with a flourish, following singer Kelly Clarkson’s opening night perfor-mance in Arthur Ashe Stadium with a 6-4, 6-0 victory over Magda Linette under the lights.

Williams, a six-time winner at Flushing Meadows, moved a step closer to a possible third-round matchup against her older sister, two-time winner Venus, who defeated 2004 champion Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-3, 5-7, 6-3.

Others making the second round included defending champion and No. 3 seed Sloane Stephens, two-time finalist Victoria Aza-renka, and two-time major champ Garbine Muguruza.

Four seeded men lost in the afternoon, in-cluding No. 8 Grigor Dimitrov against three-time major champion Stan Wawrinka, No. 16 Kyle Edmund and No. 19 Roberto Bautista Agut. Andy Murray, whose three major titles include the 2012 U.S. Open, played his first Grand Slam match in more than a year and won, eliminating James Duckworth 6-7 (5), 6-3, 7-5, 6-3.

Since professionals were admitted to Grand Slam tournaments in 1968, only five times before Monday did women seeded No. 1 lose their opening match at a major — and never at the U.S. Open. It happened twice to Martina Hingis and once to Steffi Graf at Wimbledon, once to Angelique Kerber at the French Open and once to Virginia Ruzici at the Australian Open.

Long trip well worth it for WinchellTennessee driver

claims Wheel Man win at CCS

Kimberly KellyFor the Chronicle

Despite early evening rain that interrupted qualifying for the Wheel Man Sportsman Series, hampered cleanup efforts, forced the cancellation of heat races and the Legends Series, track officials and competitors were able to beat Mother Nature to the finish line and posted three events to the night’s record books Saturday night at Citrus County Speedway.

For one driver, that meant traveling to the Inverness venue was worth the trip.

“The guys, they brought me a hot rod tonight,” Joe Winchell said after winning the Wheel Man Sportsman Series 50. Winchell had traveled from Ten-nessee to compete in the night’s event.

“The rain really made the car tight and we just couldn’t free it up enough,” he said of the on-and-off-again rain showers that plagued the night’s events.

Winchell started outside the second row and found himself in a multi-car battle for the lead right from the start with Jesse Henley in the lead and Brandon Morris in hot pursuit.

Two laps later it appeared as if Winchell had the lead as the pair drove through the third and fourth turns and into slower traf-fic of Joey Farault that forced Henley to take evasive action as not to hit him, but caution came and everyone resumed their po-sitions on the track.

As the laps went by Winchell was able to stay in the top three, bobbling from second to third and then back to second after battling with Morris who took

advantage of a six-lap battle be-tween Henley and Winchell for the lead. When Henley secured the top spot, Morris moved in to battle Winchell and, two laps later, used the low groove to take second away.

Morris went on to take the lead from Henley by lap 29 and even-tually pulled to a 0.8 second ad-vantage over Winchell and Henley before a series of short runs tightened the field and put Winchell to the outside lane for the restarts.

Winchell battled the car throughout the first half of the race with long green-flag runs, but once the cautions developed in the second half of the race he was able to position himself to make a run for the lead once again.

The restarts proved tricky but Winchell found himself with the advantage on the outside lane with eight laps to go as they went back to green after the sixth cau-tion period of the race. On green, Henley joined the fight for the lead.

“As the race played out it was hard racing between the front three or four cars,” Winchell said of the night’s top contenders. “Jesse Henley and (Morris) went side-by-side on turn No. 2 on the restart. We went three-wide on the backstretch and I ended up with the lead.”

The battle continued to the line and Winchell was able to edge out Morris by inches for two laps as they battled-side-by-side two more circuits.

A multi-car pileup in turn No. 4 forced caution No. 7 and tightened the top two even fur-ther. However Morris, now on the outside lane, jumped the restart and was relegated to the rear.

Winchell and Henley found themselves in familiar territory with six laps to go and battled side-by-side before Winchell was able to solidify the lead and win the race by 0.882 seconds.

Henley followed in second, Shawn Jenkins third, LJ Grimm

fourth and Devin McLeod fifth.“That late caution changed the

entire race for us,” Winchell said from victory lane.

The win was his second win at the Inverness venue this season. His first came on April 28.

Eric Sharrone topped the Mc-Call Service Mini Stock 25 after making a bold move to the out-side of Brian Potvin and beating him to the line six laps into the 25-lap event.

From there, Sharrone was able to hold off Potvin to win his first event of the season. Marshall Hamilton finished third, Bill Os-borne fourth and William Wines fifth.

Aaron Tahnke’s No. 5y was the

last car running at the end of the rain-soaked Demolition Derby, but was disqualified after a post-race technical inspection in the infield found his car to have ille-gal tires. Nick Malverty picked up the win after outlasting Mike Gilkerson II, Ralph Merchie, Johnathon Batten and J.C. Molly Lombardi.

Citrus County’s 11 p.m. curfew forced track officials to end the race action at the completion of the Wheel Man Sportsman 50. The series will return on Sept. 8 along with the Second Annual Full Throttle 100 Super Late Model event, McCall Service Mini Stocks and Don’s Plumbing Pure Stocks.

KIMBERLY KELLY/For the ChronicleCitrus County Speedway track photographer Tyler Sontag, right, a.k.a. SpeedRacer, takes a moment to get a picture with Wheel Man Sportsman Series winner Joe Winchell at Citrus County Speedway. Winchell earned his second series win at the Inverness venue Saturday night.

A new season always beckons changes, and there are several amongst the Citrus County teams — most notably in the coaching ranks. Mike Ridley gave up his position at Crystal River, and at Seven Rivers Wanda Grey left. Grey is now serving as an assistant coach for Kevin Towne at Lecanto.

Megan Spelich takes over at Crystal River, and Steve Stack is in at Seven Rivers. Both were junior varsity coaches in 2017 at their respective schools, so they are familiar with their players.

Now for a look at each team’s prospects.

LECANTOAdding Grey, who had some superb seasons at

Seven Rivers, to the coaching staff should have a major impact. But that’s not the only thing the Pan-thers have going for them.

They did graduate five players, including setter Breise Teitelman, Ember Oglesby and Brenna Towne. But they have nine returning from last year’s 12-9 team.

The veterans are Haley Thomasson, a junior; Joei-millie Rijos Lozada, a sophomore; Davis Bryson, a junior; Tyler Conklin, a junior; Kelley Sullivan, a se-nior; Mikal Sorel, a junior; Grace Teitelman, a sopho-more; Noor Esoo, a senior; and Taelor Rath, a junior.

“We’ve got some work to do,” Towne said. “We lost five good players, so I think we’ll get better as we go. We’re moving people around to some different spots and hopefully things will be good come district time. We are young, we’ve only got three seniors.”

What helps is having four of last season’s top hitters — Thomasson, Sorel, Grace Teitelman and Esoo — back up front. Rijos Lozada takes over for Breise Te-itelman at setter.

“I think we’re very athletic, and our strength is our quickness on the court,” Towne said. “Once we get our timing down, I think we’ll be a little more solid all around.”

Towne recognizes that 6A-7 “is very competitive, so you’re going to have to work hard,” and he believes his youthful squad will be in the mix at the top.

CITRUSGood news: Only two players from 2017 are gone.

Bad news: It’s from a team that was just 6-14 overall and was eliminated in its district tournament opener.

So has the experience gained a year ago enough to turn Citrus’ fortunes around?

Perhaps. Lost from 2017 are outside hitter Bryanna Largay and defensive specialist Jamie Pensinger. nine return: Cassie Pleus, senior; Natalie Miller, se-nior; Kaitlyn Corlew, senior; Joanna Mott, senior; Em-malee Nadler, senior; Paige Holt, senior; Lauren Ely, sophomore; Olivia Rogers, senior; and Savannah Weaver, junior.

Citrus did get a major boost to its chances when Maddie Seidenstucker transferred in from Seven Riv-ers. Now a senior, Seidenstucker averaged over eight kills a match for the Warriors while playing just half the season due to injury.

“We pretty much return the same team and the re-placement players who are coming in are quality players, so, yeah, we’re excited about the group of girls we have,” said Hurricane coach Jeff Wood. “All the girls are pretty good, we’re working on our timing and getting the feel for the rotations and where their abilities are.”

Pleus and Holt return as key hitters, and in the mid-dle of the front line will be Nadler, Rogers and Seidenstucker.

“That’s a help to our offense and our defense, be-cause she blocks as well as she attacks,” Wood said of Seidenstucker.

A season ago, Weaver and Holt shared setting du-ties, and they will again this season in Wood’s

two-setter system.

CRYSTAL RIVERCertainly Spelich is confident entering her first

season as the Pirates head coach.Asked which teams would be in the 6A-7 title chase,

she contributed just one name: “I’m hoping it’s going to be us.

“We made a nice, strong showing in our two presea-son matches last week, and I’m hoping we’re going to be the team to beat this year. We’re looking to move past districts, and I think we have the team to do that.”

It won’t be easy. Crystal River has lost several key players from last season’s 13-13 team, including top hitters Alyssa Lake (11.1 kills per match) and Maddi Ruble (10.7 kills). Replacing them will be imperative.

What the Pirates do have is six returning varsity players, all of them seniors. Kaylen Zizek is back at libero, and Sarah Miller returns, switching from set-ter to outside hitter; she averaged 2.3 kills a match in 2017.

Other seniors returning: Desiree Pulham, Aleeah Ashmeal, Lindsey Probst and Alyssa Hamilton. Ham-ilton will slide into the setter role, with juniors Cali-ann Rogers at outside hitter and Marinna Lawler at middle hitter. Sophomore Jordan Williams adds depth in the middle.

“We’ve lost quite a few of our hitters, but we’ve moved some players around this year and I think we’ll still have a nice, young hitting line,” Spelich said. “We’re going to run three hitters in the front, and we’re going to try and be quite aggressive on our front line.”

While the inexperience at the hitting positions is a concern, Spelich emphasized something else in the pre-season.

“We’re working a lot on defense, we’re really focus-ing on being a defensive team,” she said. “Part of our strategy is you have got to be able to play defense be-fore you can play offense. We’ve been working with our defenders getting the ball to our setter so she can make a good set for a hit.”

SEVEN RIVERS CHRISTIANThree players and the coach are gone from a team

that reached the Elite Eight in the 2A state tourna-ment last year, going 18-11 overall. The obstacle that prevented Seven Rivers from advancing further was district rival St. John Lutheran, which capped its sea-son with a 2A state championship.

With all but three players returning to the Saints, they will be a formidable force to contend with — again. Seven Rivers does have key people returning, although having Seidenstucker transfer to Citrus was a big loss. In addition, Madi Peters, a junior middle hitter, remains sidelined while recovering from a knee operation.

“She’s still dealing with rehab and physical therapy for her knee,” Stack said. “So we’re not quite sure what her return status would be, if at all during the season.”

Which means there are problems, but Seven Rivers has an abundance of experienced talent to fill the holes.

“I’m truly excited about that,” Stack said. “We have quite a few who were on the team last year, starting with Hannah Gardner (senior, defensive specialist), Briauna LaPointe (senior, outside hitter) and Jacque-lin Garvin (senior, middle hitter). They’ve got a lot of varsity experience.

“We’ve got Katelyn Kelso (junior, setter/outside hit-ter) and Allison Phillips (junior, libero), and Jane Jef-fes (junior, setter) and Leighton Stack (sophomore, outside hitter) returning, too.”

Injuries last year forced Stack’s predecessor, Wanda Grey, to move people into other roles. Kelso was one; she got in some hitting duty and collected 3.0 kills a match, as well as 16.3 assists and 7.4 digs. Jeffes also did some setting last year (3.0 assists) and will this season, too.

It adds up to what Stack aimed to do in the presea-son: make his team strong in all phases of the game.

throwing hand.Mullen kept the job open

until game week, giving Trask every opportunity to close the gap.

It never happened, and now Franks will start Flori-da’s opener for the second consecutive season.

“What we looked at is we have some young quarter-backs that I think all have really bright futures in their development,” Mullen said. “They’re a long way (off). All of them are a long way from finished product of what we need to see.”

Franks has ideal size and an NFL-caliber arm. But his accuracy and decision-mak-ing ability had him looking lost at times in 2017.

Mullen has repeatedly praised Franks’ attitude, but he also made it clear he has to make major strides to get to the level that Alex Smith (Utah), Chris Leak (Florida), Tim Tebow (Florida) and Dak Prescott (Mississippi State) did under Mullen’s guidance.

The Gators have had 12 starting quarterbacks since Tebow’s departure in 2010 — John Brantley, Jeff Driskel, Jacoby Brissett, Trey Burton, Tyler Murphy, Skyler Mornhinweg, Will Grier, Treon Harris, Luke Del Rio, Austin Appleby, Franks and Malik Zaire — and none has proven to be a long-term solution for the team’s long-standing problem.

None of them threw more than 12 touchdown passes in any season, and Florida has ranked no higher than 83rd in total offense since the 2009 season. The Gators fin-ished six of those eight years ranked in triple digits.

Mullen was hired, in part, to fix Florida’s floundering offense.

Franks is getting the first shot at making it happen.

“He continues to grow within, making his reads, how fast he makes his reads, the accuracy,” Mullen sad. “I know everybody hates it, but it’s the unspectacular plays that quarterbacks make that make them great quarter-backs. ... They have to learn to make the unspectacular ones on a daily basis.”

Jaguars WR Lee ruled out for season

JACKSONVILLE — The Jacksonville Jaguars will be without their top receiver for the second straight year.

Coach Doug Marrone said Marqise Lee will have season- ending knee surgery and be placed on injured reserve.

Lee, who led the team in re-ceptions in 2017, was carted off the field Saturday night after Falcons cornerback Damontae Kazee delivered a helmet-first hit to his knee. Lee fumbled on the play, but it was overturned because Kazee was flagged for leading with his helmet.

Tests confirmed what every-one in the stadium expected after seeing Lee’s knee buckle: The injury was severe.

It’s the second time in as many years that it’s happened to Jacksonville.

The Jags lost No. 1 receiver Allen Robinson to a knee injury in last year’s regular-season opener. Robinson signed with Chicago in free agency.

Lee had 56 catches for 702 yards and three touch-downs last season, showing enough growth to get a four-year, $34 million contract in

March that included $16.5 mil-lion guaranteed.

A second-round draft pick from USC in 2014, Lee has 171 catches for 2,166 yards and eight touchdowns in four seasons.

Manu Ginobili retires at 41

Manu Ginobili has an-nounced his retirement at age 41, ending a career in which he helped the San Antonio Spurs win four NBA championships in 16 seasons with the club.

Ginobili’s pro career lasted 23 seasons in all, starting with stints in Italy and his native Ar-gentina before he came to San Antonio in 2002. He formed what was a “Big 3” with the Spurs, alongside Tim Duncan and Tony Parker.

On Monday, that era for the Spurs was officially over: Dun-can has been retired, and Parker elected this summer to sign with the Charlotte Hornets.

Ginobili, the No. 57 pick in the 1999 draft, averaged 13.3 points and 3.8 assists in 1,057 regular-season games. He was a two-time All-Star and was the league’s Sixth Man of the Year in 2008.

BLOOD DISEASE

The media constantly encourages us to contribute to a 401K

at work, open an IRA and start saving and investing as much as possible to prepare for a happy re-tirement and old age. We need to make the same kind of steady investment in our health and well- being. Good health in old age is not achieved all at once. It is the result of years of healthy habits.

The aging process be-gins soon after we reach adulthood, but we do not begin to notice its effects until sometime in our 50s. Wear and tear gradually makes our bodies less ef-ficient and less resilient. By being aware of the aging process, we can make a conscious effort to compensate for the changes taking place in our bodies, and continue to enjoy freedom and flex-ibility well into old age.

Loss of muscle mass: Beginning in your 30s, your body loses as much as 3 percent to 5 percent of its muscle mass every decade. You can slow this process by continuing to be physically active.

Weight gain: As muscle mass decreases, fat tends to increase. Your metabo-lism slows, and you do not burn calories as effi-ciently. Even your heart and liver burn fewer calo-ries. In her 50s, an aver-age woman requires approximately 300-500 fewer calories per day than she did in her 20s to maintain the same body weight. As you age, you have to eat smaller por-tions and eat smarter to manage your weight. Being overweight is a factor in other health risks, including high blood pressure and car-diovascular disease.

Insulin resistance: As the body ages, insulin regulates blood sugar less efficiently. Higher levels of glucose in the blood are associated with tissue damage, memory loss and some-times the onset of diabetes.

Osteoporosis: As levels of certain hormones de-cline, bone loss in-creases. Fragile bones can fracture easily, re-sulting in disability and limited movement.

Many of these effects of aging can be managed by exercising regularly and maintaining a healthy weight. Do you spend hours every day seated at a desk, or on a couch? The effects of being sedentary accumu-late over the years.

In addition to the rec-ommended 150 minutes of exercise every week, look for opportunities to be active throughout the day. Aerobics, yoga and weight-bearing exercise help maintain muscle mass, strengthen bones and keep you flexible.

Miss Smith is a 55-year-old white female. She pre-

sented with back pain.Backache is so common,

it is commonly ignored. The most common cause of it is arthritis. Her pain per-sisted and worsened and so she insisted in getting further workup. An MRI of her spine was finally done and it showed multiple metastatic lesions.

She underwent a biopsy of the mass in her cervical spine or neck. It showed that she has diffuse B cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL).

NHL can be aggressive or indolent. My patient’s lymphoma is aggressive. In addition to determining if the NHL is indolent or ag-gressive and whether it is B-cell or T-cell lymphoma, it is very important to de-termine the subtype of NHL. This is because each subtype can behave differ-ently and may require dif-ferent treatments. There are more than 60 NHL. This is always done by biopsy.

Diffuse large B-cell lym-phoma (DLBCL). is the most common form of lym-phoma. About 30 percent of NHL in the United States is this type. It is an aggressive form of NHL that involves organs other than the lymph nodes about 40 percent of the time. About two out of three people with DLBCL are cured with chemother-apy given in combination with rituximab (Rituxan).

Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to destroy cancer cells, usually by ending the cancer cells’ ability to grow and divide. It is the main treatment for NHL. Che-motherapy is given by a medical oncologist, a doc-tor who specializes in treating cancer with medi-cation. Rituxan is a tar-geted therapy which affects mainly lymphoma cells and not normal cells by targeting CD-20, which is present only on lym-phoma cells. The combina-tion is very effective.

This is the lymphoma my patient has. Staging point of view, her lymphoma is stage 4. Another common myth is stage 4 cancer al-ways kills and treatment is futile. Due to this myth, lots of patients refuse treat-ment or do not even seek a cancer doctor’s opinion.

My patient is started on chemotherapy. She is toler-ating the therapy well and she has an excellent chance of cure. Her che-motherapy is aggressive, but one which is widely used.

It is very true that the earlier cancer is diag-nosed, the better it is. At the same time, there are many new advances in can-cer happening almost every day. We are able to help many cancer patients even in significantly ad-vanced cases.

Dirty Dancing phenom Jennifer Grey would likely be impressed with the

dance moves of Pepita Park.At 91 years, Park is the inspiration of her

Zumba class, said instructor Donna Scarpello.Zumba is an exercise fitness program in

which dance and aerobic movements are per-formed to energetic music. According to Wiki-pedia, roughly 15 million people currently participate in weekly Zumba classes at more than 200,000 locations across 180 countries.

Park has been active — and dancing — for most of her life, but said she only discovered Zumba a couple of years ago.

“She is in great shape,” Scarpello said. “We all wish we could look like her; she keeps up with the entire class.”

That class meets at Unity of Citrus County, at 2628 Woodview Lane in Lecanto, on Mon-day, Wednesday and Friday, from 11 a.m. until noon and offers low-impact moves for beginning- to intermediate-level participants, Scarpello said.

“Zumba dancing has been proven to burn more calories than any other exercise pro-gram, while having fun, too,” Scarpello said. “Every new person that comes in usually states that they have no rhythm, but that does not matter in my classes, where everyone laughs, sings and has a wonderful time while dancing. No one watches and no one judges.”

Zumba classes each feature 16 to 17 choreo-graphed dance songs, 70 percent of which are international and 30 percent American, Scar-pello said. The first two or three songs are warmups, she said, followed by a mixture of fast and slower songs, including cha-cha, fla-menco, bachata, reggaeton, cumbia and even hip-hop, she said. The final selection of the class is a cool down, she said.

Participants needn’t learn all the dance steps, Scarpello said. “They just have to keep moving. If the steps seem too hard at first, then I advise them to just march,” she said. “I

usually change a couple of the songs each week, adding new songs or throwing in some of their old favorites.”

“We have around 10 to 18 people per class, which allows me to gear the level of choreog-raphy to each class,” Scarpello said. “The age range is probably 55 to 91 with the average being around 77.”

The class’s eldest participant, Park was born Pepita Otero in 1927 in San Diego, California. When she was 2, her parents re-turned to their home in New Mexico to assist the family with ranching and other matters, she said.

Before New Mexico became a state in 1912, the Otero family had put down roots.

“My family were pioneers in New Mexico Territory,” Park said. “My great-aunt lived in the family home in Santa Fe and we resided with her. My family history is rather extensive and convoluted — and enough for a novel of significant size.”

For example, in the early 1940s, Park re-called, rumors were rampant in Santa Fe, where the population was only about 32,000 at the time.

“All the locals were trying to find out who was getting reams of mail sent to a single post office box in Santa Fe, and who the many dignified-looking strangers were coming in and out of our town,” Park said. Of course, they never learned about the Manhattan Proj-ect until a few weeks after the atomic bomb was tested at Trinity.

Trinity Site is some 140 miles south of Santa Fe, as the crow flies, and the world’s first nu-clear explosion occurred there at 5:30 a.m. July 16, 1945.

When her family finally learned of the test, Park realized in looking back that it occurred the day before her 18th birthday. Things were never the same after that, she recalled.

“It changed the world.”Though reports from that time claim the

roar could be heard for 100 miles, and the flash — several times brighter than the sun — was visible up to 200 miles away, Park didn’t recall her family seeing, hearing or knowing anything of the test until two bombs were dropped on Japan and made the news.

I am very confused and concerned. I’ve been going to the dentist for many years now and get-

ting regular checkups from the dentist at all of my cleaning appointments.

All of a sudden, at my last appointment, the hygienist noticed a lot of decay under one of my teeth that helps sup-port a bridge. She said the tooth has a root canal, but needs atten-tion. She called the dentist in and showed him what was going on. Once he looked at it, he said the tooth had a lot of decay and needed to be removed. He suggested remov-ing the tooth and replacing it with an implant.

I’m confused on what to do and

concerned this was not seen sooner. Why should I need a tooth out when I’ve been going to the dentist faithfully?

Please give me your thoughts. Thank you for your help and writ-

ing in the paper. I enjoy reading it regularly.

A: I am sorry to hear the predicament you are in. I totally under-stand. This isn’t the first time I’ve received a question like this. Often, this type of question comes from a person who moves from another area to this area.

Let me first tell you how something like this can hap-pen. Since the tooth had a root canal, there is no warning in the form of pain from the patient. In

addition, the metal of the bridge or crown on the tooth can block the decay until it advances from under the restoration to a place where it is seen on the X-ray or felt during an exam.

I’ve seen each of these issues happen in the past. Please re-member, we as dentists are very thorough and focused as a group — we are not, however, perfect. Perfect is left to only One that I know of. I can tell you that each and every day I strive for perfec-tion — something that is very hard to attain on a regular basis.

Now, let’s address your situa-tion specifically. I understand your dentist’s suggestion of re-moval and replacement with an implant. I wonder if he or she was intending on one or more implants.

While they may seem like a low-maintenance part of the body, your

ears need regular care and pro-tection. Cleaning is important, but so is safety from noise and injury, regular checkups, and knowing the signs of hearing loss. Use this checklist to peri-odically check in with your ears.

CLEANING YOUR EARSClean your ears with extra

care. Wipe the outer ear with a washcloth or antibacterial wipe and heed your mom’s advice: never put anything into your ear that’s smaller than your elbow, as objects can injure the ear canal or eardrum.

Earwax is actually valuable, as it’s the ear’s mechanism for self-cleaning. Now, if you have a build-up of wax you suspect is blocking your hearing, see your doctor to have it removed.

If you experience itching or pain in your ears, don’t use

topical treatments on your own. Consult with your primary care physician to de-termine the cause and appropriate treatment.

NOISE, SAFETYAt home or work,

wear hearing protec-tion during exposure to loud noise. This in-cludes mowing the lawn, leaf blowing or using power tools. When using personal sound systems, the volume should be at a comfort-able level. If someone else can hear what you are listening to, the volume is too high.

If you scuba dive, learn and practice proper underwater techniques to avoid potentially damaging changes in the pres-sure inside your ears.

When flying in an airplane, swallow and yawn frequently when the plane is ascending

and descending to equalize pressure in your ears. If you have an upper respiratory problem such as a cold or sinus infec-tion, take a deconges-tant a few hours before descending, or use a decongestant spray just prior to landing.

INFECTIONSReduce the risk of

ear infections by treating upper respiratory (ears, nose, throat) infections promptly and completely.

Some illnesses and medica-tions can affect your hearing. If you experience sudden hearing loss or have constant sound in your ears or head, see a physi-cian as soon as possible.

Drainage from the ear is not normal and typically suggests infection. See a physician as soon as possible.

“While they are more com-mon in children than adults, ev-eryone is susceptible to ear infections,” said Dr. Weichi Liao, internal medicine. “How-ever, while children’s ear infec-tions are often minor and pass quickly, adult ear infections can be a sign of a more serious health problem.”

There are three main types of ear infections and they corre-spond to the three main parts of the ear: inner, middle, and outer.

Inner ear infection may actu-ally be a case of inflammation and not an actual infection. In addition to ear pain, symptoms often include dizziness, nausea or vomiting and can be a sign of a more serious condition, such as meningitis.

Middle ear infection is caused by fluid trapped behind the eardrum, causing the ear-drum to bulge. In addition to ear pain, you may have the feel-ing of fullness in your ear, as well as some fluid drainage.

Symptoms can be accompanied by a fever and trouble hearing while the infection is active.

Outer ear infection is typi-cally the result of water re-maining in the ear after swimming or bathing, where the moisture becomes a breed-ing ground for bacteria. Symp-toms often start with an itchy rash and the ear may become painful, red or swollen.

If your only symptom is an earache, you may want to wait a day or two before seeing a doc-tor as ear infections can some-times resolve on their own. If the pain persists or you are also running a fever, see your doctor as soon as you can. If fluid is draining from your ear or you’re having trouble hearing, you should also seek medical attention.

SilverSneakers for healthier seniors

The Citrus Memorial Health Foundation YMCA in Lecanto is partnering to pro-vide complimentary member-ships to members of the nationally recognized

SilverSneakers program. Through this collaboration, the YMCA offers older adults a way to increase their levels of physical activity while moti-vating them to remain active. SilverSneakers is the nation’s leading community fitness program designed exclusively for older adults.

To learn more about Silver-Sneakers, call the YMCA at 352-500-9622 and speak to a membership associate.

A diet of fast food and sweet snacks takes a toll over the years. Begin now to nourish your body with fresh produce, high-fiber foods, proteins and healthy fats. Be aware of the sugar hidden in many processed foods.

As the years pass, every-one is inevitably exposed to stressful and unhappy situations. Developing suc-cessful ways to cope with stress is another key to maintaining good health as you grow older. Hobbies, regular physical activities and a supportive social network of friends and family members all help you maintain your

equilibrium as circum-stances around you change.

Monitor your health and have regular checkups. The risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabe-tes increases with age. Early discovery allows you to begin treatment before a condition becomes serious.

By starting early and making physical activity and good nutrition priori-ties throughout your adult life, you are setting your-self up for a happy and healthy old age.

Often when a bridge is lost, we section the bridge, leaving the secure half in the mouth while replacing the missing teeth with multiple im-plants and crowns. Rarely is only one implant used in this situation.

The other thing to con-sider is whether or not there is a way to salvage what is there. There have been times when I was able to do this with confi-dence. However, more often than not, addressing it this way leaves a degree of uncertainty. For some patients this is OK, while for others it is not.

It sounds like you might benefit from a second opinion. Have your ques-tions for the dentist ready and listen closely to the suggestions. If you like your dentist enough, give him or her another chance. Ask for another appointment with him or her to review the situa-tion. Let the front office staff know that you are confused and want a little clarification. I’m sure they will be open to this.

While the Otero family’s business was ranching, some family members were also involved in New Mexico politics, Park said.

“The Otero governors (who were both named Miguel Antonio Otero) were cousins to my grandfather, Eduardo M. Otero, who ran the Luna-Otero sheep ranches,” she said. According to Wikipe-dia, Otero counties in New Mexico and Colorado were named for the two Otero governors.

Ranching and politics aside, though, Zumba is fairly new to Park, while danc-ing is not.

“I always loved dancing and did take classes when I was a child,” she said. “We focused on tap dance and ballroom dancing.”

When she and her brother were teen-agers, Park said, “we performed a tango on the roof of the La Fonda Hotel during the annual Fiesta de Santa Fe.” Back then, the roof show was a highlight of the fiesta and included a mariachi band, a flamenco dancer and several

singers of local fame, she recalled.“My brother, Ed, being the typical

teen, suggested that he should just acci-dently drop me over the edge during a backbend,” she joked.

Park went on to become a licensed private pilot and worked as an execu-tive director of the New Mexico Oil and Gas Accounting Commission; that is, until she married John Park, from Big Spring, Texas, in 1969.

“We were married in Honolulu and spent the next two years in Saigon, Viet-nam, in support of the military,” Park said. “John was with IBM and I was asked to work with them in a finance capacity.”

During that time, she said, she devel-oped a passion for golf.

“I’ve loved golf since I first started playing in Saigon,” Park said. She still golfed when she and John moved to Pine Ridge in 2000.

She also did yoga for a while, she said, until her feet and legs started bothering her and she was diagnosed with neurop-athy. “So, I had to cut down on a lot of activity,” she said.

In nearly a half century together, Park and her husband did a lot of traveling. In addition to Vietnam, they’ve been to,

Bangkok, Thailand; Ceylon (now Sri Lanka); Singapore; Hong Kong, China; Japan; Guam; Kuala Lumpur and Pen-ang, Malaysia, as well as England; Swit-zerland; Germany — including the Communist zone of East Germany — and Spain, she said.

In Spain, the couple attended a Fla-menco Gypsy presentation, Park recalled.

“They asked if anyone in the audience cared to come on stage to dance,” she said. “Naturally, I did and I don’t know who was most surprised — my husband or the company CEO’s wife.”

Park said she read in the Chronicle about Scarpello’s beginner Zumba classes at Unity of Citrus, and joined the group in 2016.

“It was important to me to find out whether it would be suitable for my age and neuropathy problem,” Park said.

Scarpello’s class accommodates all fitness levels, she said. “There are some people in our class who treat the ses-sions as exercise more than dancing, and they do that by jumping more and using additional energy in the dance steps,” she said.

“Our class is fun,” Park said. She also found Zumba to be less stressful on her

feet and legs than golf. And at her age, she’s certainly not alone in her physical challenges.

“Other people in the class have prob-lems also,” Park said. “One woman has fibromyalgia and she comes and does what she can, when she can.”

Like anything else worth doing in life, it seems the key to exercising, even in your 90s, is to focus on what you can do, rather than what you can’t.

There is no pre-registration to take Scarpello’s class. Participants just need to wear sneakers and comfortable cloth-ing — and come ready to have a good time, she said.

“The girls are a riot,” Scarpello said. “We love new people and the ladies make every new person feel welcomed.”

Indeed, those Zumba-loving grandpar-ents — and great-great-grandparents — can still “get Footloose.” In fact, one of the class favorites is a hip-hop selection called “Fireball,” by Miami rapper Pitbull.

“Pepito does ‘Fireball’ quite well, ac-tually,” Scarpello said. “She does all the cha-chas and most of the dances well.”

Park proves quite regularly that one is never too old to exercise and doing Zumba with a class is a fun way to do it.

Special to the Chronicle

The 5th Judicial Circuit Guard-ian ad Litem Program is seeking volunteers to become advocates for abused, neglected or aban-doned children whose cases are now part of a dependency court proceeding.

“There are 2,174 children in-volved with our circuit courts, with 351 children here in Citrus County,” said Marcia Hilty, Cir-cuit Director. “The program, aided by volunteers, helps ensure children are safe and provided

the services necessary to over-come their circumstances.”

Appointed by the judge, the volunteer works as part of a team, including a volunteer supervisor and program attorney, becoming familiar with the child and the child’s case. The volunteer make recommendations to the court that are intended to ensure a safe, stable and permanent envi-ronment for that child. Cases typ-ically last 12 to 16 months, and case volunteers typically donate 10 to 15 hours a month.

“These children need someone

who will speak up for them be-cause most of the children as-signed to us are below eight years of age,” said Hilty. “Volunteers make profound difference in the lives of these children.”

The next two-day Guardian ad Litem volunteer pre-service training will be held on Sept. 28 and Sept. 29 in Ocala. Persons in-terested in volunteering should visit GuardianadLitem.org and complete a volunteer inquiry, contact Diana Gisonni at [email protected] or call 352-812-6971

Meta Goodman, a longtime friend who lives in Brisbane, Aus-tralia, once advised me to find snappy titles for my classes. Re-cently, I thought that “The Top Tip of All Time” is surely the snappiest there is. This week and next, we are studying the main reason why experts play better than everyone else -- they keep careful track of the high-card points.

How would doing that help South in this deal? He is in four spades after the given auction. West starts the defense with his two high diamonds, then shifts to a club. How should South continue?

North’s four-spade raise satis-fies the Law of Total Tricks — in a competitive auction, bid as high as the number of cards in your best fit. Still, without a singleton or void, it was a tad debatable. However, if he had settled for a pre-emptive three spades over West’s takeout double, South would have gone on to game any-way. As Caesar might have said, all roads lead to four spades.

South wins the club shift in his hand, plays a spade to dummy’s king (if anyone is void, it rates to be West because of his takeout double) and returns a spade to his ace, dropping West’s queen. Then declarer cashes his club winners, ending on the board. Finally, South leads dummy’s heart jack. After East plays low smoothly, should declarer go low or high from his hand?

Count the points. West has pro-duced 9 — the diamond ace-king and spade queen. If he also held the heart ace, he would have had 13 points and opened the bidding as dealer. So, South knows to put up his heart king.

Michael Bolton surely is a sing-ing star with a unique sound and style ... but is that enough for the contestants here to identify his music? Such is one of the burning questions as he makes a guest ap-pearance in this episode. Players vie to identify tunes, then the win-ning team gets to go up against the music app Shazam for a potential

$1 million prize. Jamie Foxx is the host, and his daughter Corrine serves as the resident disc jockey.

9 p.m. on LThe Outpost

In a new episode called “The Colipsum Conundrum,” Gwynn (Imogen Waterhouse) grows in-creasingly suspicious that Wythers (Andrew Howard) is guilty, so she takes decisive action, straining her relationship with Garret (Jake Stor-moen) in the process. Janzo and Talon (Anand Desai-Barochia, Jes-sica Green) are dismayed to find still more questions than answers when they finally meet the elusive colipsum suppliers. Meanwhile, Garret struggles to cope with a desperate new secret that could wind up killing him.

ChoppedIn the season finale, “Grill Mas-ters: Finale Showdown,” the four champions from the qualifying rounds represent their barbecue style — Texas, Memphis, North Carolina and Kansas City — as they reassemble to compete for

a grand prize of $50,000. One contender is eliminated in the first round, which reveals a wild and smoky ingredient in the basket, then the remaining three tackle a meat-and-potatoes entree round. A dessert round highlighting festive sugary ingredients decides the winner. Amanda Freitag, Myron Mixon and Chris Santos are the judges.

Rapidly dwindling resources mean trouble for Matt as he tries to reach other parts of the island in the new episode “Three’s a Crowd,” while Sawyer and Richard start to won-der if meeting others would impact their own chances to finish their challenge successfully. Tim and Krichelle become more unified, but someone reaches the end of his or her island experience.

10 p.m. on (TBS)

WreckedAfter Jess (Ali Maki) suffers a memory lapse — and here, please understand, we’re using “lapse” in an elastic sense, meaning she can’t

remember anything about the past decade — Todd (Will Greenberg) does everything he can think of to jump start her recollections in the new episode “A Game of Chest” (not a typo, in case you were won-dering). Meanwhile, Steve and De-clan (Rhys Darby, Jonno Roberts) engage in a battle of wits. Brian Sacca and Zach Cregger also star.

A half-hour of unfiltered (hey, it’s HBO!) conversation and debate with hosts and executive produc-ers LeBron James and Maverick Carter is in the cards on this new unscripted series, which will air periodically throughout the year and feature some of the biggest names in sports and entertainment. In tonight’s series premiere, James and Carter welcome an impres-sive guest roster that includes Emmy-winning comedy host Jon Stewart, WNBA star Candace Parker, rap superstar Snoop Dogg and New York Giants wide re-ceiver Odell Beckham Jr., among others.

Dear Annie: I was recently shopping in a depart-ment store, when I heard

the very loud screams of a child. Because the screaming was so abnormal, I wanted to seek the child out to see what was causing it. When I found the screamer, she was being pushed in a stroller by her mother, with a man (possibly her father) and two other w o m e n walking a l o n g -side. As t h e scream-ing and c r y i n g c o n t i n -ued, none of the a d u l t s made any at tempt to talk to, interact with or hush the child. It appeared as if they were in full ignore mode.

As a mother, I know that chil-dren have these types of melt-downs when they’re hungry, they’re tired or a request for something shiny or sparkly has not been met. However, when my children were young and I found myself in a public place when they began to get cranky, I immediately removed them from the store and took them outside until they calmed down. To me, this was the po-lite thing to do so I did not sub-ject other shoppers to the subsequent crying that was sure to come.

The store was quite large, and as the group moved away from where I was, the child continued to cry, kick and scream in her stroller. Every-one in the store could hear her as the family casually strolled from department to department.

I finally finished with what I was there to get and left as quickly as I could because I couldn’t bear to hear the screaming any longer.

The reason I am writing this is to plead with parents to have some common courtesy when in public places with your chil-dren. Perhaps when you know you will be out of the house lon-ger than your child can toler-ate, be prepared with a bottle, a snack and a small book or toy to keep him or her occupied. You may be used to hearing your child’s screams, but it can be annoying and disruptive to oth-ers who are nearby.

Thank you for allowing me to vent. — Mind Your Manners, Please

Dear Manners: You offer great suggestions for parents preparing for outings with their young kids. Of course, one of the adults should have taken the little girl outside, for her own sake and for the sake of other customers. I surveyed a group of young moms and they defended the adults in your scenario. I understand their feeling that you just can’t win and that it is a mistake to give in to your child’s every whim. But allowing the little girl to scream uncontrollably — as if everything were normal — is quite absurd. You are right, and they are wrong. Thank you for writing.

Dear Annie: Perhaps this will help you: The definition of “gross” is “144 of anything.” I’ve asked you before to stop using that word as a definition of something terrible. My chil-dren and I have had that unfor-tunate last name for too many years and legally changing one’s name is complicated and expensive.

Picture yourself as a child with this last name, and think of other children and even adults using it as a pejorative to make fun of you, which has happened to my children and me.

As a syndicated columnist, you should know that words hurt when used this way. —Speak Carefully

Dear Speak Carefully: I’m sorry that my usage hurt you, but that wasn’t my intention. The first definition for “gross” listed in my dictionary refers to the way in which I and many others use it. But that doesn’t mean it has anything to do with your surname.

Though I can’t promise you I’ll never use that word again, I can promise you that anyone who is cruel and immature enough to deliberately ridicule your name is the ridiculous one.
