Ron DeSantis on Thurs- day signed an elections overhaul that was one of the most contentious is- sues of the 2021 legisla- tive session, as opponents immediately filed two lawsuits alleging that the measure is unconstitutional. DeSantis, who will be on the ballot in 2022 as he seeks a second term as governor, signed the bill (SB 90) on the Fox News show “Fox & Friends” after an event with sup- porters in West Palm Beach. Flanked by Lt. Gov. Jea- nette Nunez and Republi- can lawmakers, DeSantis during the televi- sion appearance called the bill the “strongest elec- tion integrity measures in the country” and said it “keeps us ahead of the curve” after Florida had a smooth 2020 election. “We’re not resting on our laurels, and me signing this bill here says, ‘Florida, your vote counts, your vote is going to be cast with integrity and transparency, and this is a great place for democracy,’” DeSantis said. But a coalition of opponents, including the League of Women Vot- ers of Florida, Black Voters Matter Fund Inc. and the Florida Alliance for Retired Americans, filed a lawsuit in federal court in Tallahassee, con- tending that the bill vio- lates First Amendment rights and would place an “undue burden on the right to vote.” The lawsuit named as defendants Secretary of State Laurel Lee, Attorney General Ashley Moody and county supervisors of elections from throughout Florida. “SB 90 does not impede all of Florida’s voters equally.

A trial date was set for James Parkerson II, the Homosassa 53-year-old accused of shoot-ing at a bouncer who got in his way.

During his felony case hearings Thursday, May 6, over Zoom, Citrus County Circuit Court Judge Richard “Ric” Howard scheduled Parkerson’s trial for at-tempted first-degree murder the week of Aug. 30 “as a high priority.”

Howard also slated Aug. 16 as Parkerson’s final pretrial hearing.

It’s alleged Parkerson on July 11 shot at a bouncer of the Nature Re-sort’s Marina Bar in Homosassa when the bouncer used his vehicle to block Parkerson from leaving the bar’s parking lot after Parkerson fought another man.

Citrus County Sheriff’s Office depu-ties also arrested Parkerson outside the RV park’s bar for pointing his fire-arm at a teenage boy who was cycling

Water wars between Flor-ida counties and state water regulators is nothing new, but it will be for Inverness officials if the area’s water district carries through with its warning that it might cut the amount of water the city can pump from its under-ground wells.

Inverness City Manager Eric Williams told his coun-cil bosses Tuesday, May 4, the city might have a fight on its hands if the Southwest Florida Water Management District follows through with its October, 2020 letter and

cuts Inverness’ allotted daily water usage of 1.5 million gallons per day (mgd) to 1.2 mgd.

At the annual National Day of Prayer noon gathering Thurs-day in the courtyard of the In-verness Government Center, more than 100 people lifted up their voices in prayer for our na-tion, our community, our fami-lies and churches.

“Friends, we have countless reasons to pray ... yet we do so not nearly enough,” said Inver-ness City Council President Cabot McBride. “Let’s make this very day, this National Day of Prayer, a day that we will com-mit to a lifestyle that is charac-terized by prayer.

“If we want to see change in our community, in our country and in the people we love, let us pray.”

In 1988, President Ronald Reagan signed a law designat-ing the first Thursday in May as the National Day of Prayer.

Thursday marked the 70th National Day of Prayer, with the theme “Lord, pour out your love, life and liberty.”

As is tradition, more than a dozen local clergy and commu-nity leaders offered prayers for different aspects of our community.

Leading a prayer for chil-dren, Carl Vonderhaar from Cal-vary Church in Inverness, prayed God’s blessing on every child in our community, “that they would know you, God, as a good, good Father. ... For the most vulnerable children, for

those in difficult situations that are beyond their control, that they’re suffering through, pro-tect them and give them a hope for a better tomorrow.”

David Lucas, pastor of Inver-ness Church of God, prayed for the youth, the young people who will one day soon be the leaders.

“There’s a lot of movement among teenagers, they’re on fire for Christ, but there are still those who have not yet come to faith ... we pray for them NOW as they begin moving into lead-ership roles,” he said.

Otis Barnett, pastor of Cal-vary Church in Inverness, be-fore he prayed for the churches he asked everyone to look around.

“These people are not your competition; these are your brothers and sisters in Christ,” he said. “At Calvary Church, we start every service praying for one of the 150 churches in Cit-rus County, because in this com-munity, we stand as one, unified under the banner of Jesus Christ.”

He prayed that the churches would shine the light of Christ “brighter and greater than ever before ... as a beacon of hope” to a people who need hope.

The hour of prayer ended with a light rain and a word of hope.

“Father, your word tells us that nothing is impossible with you,” prayed Rob Russo, pastor of Harvest Church in Citrus Springs. “Thank you for letting

us see your work all around us ... and we ask your forgiveness for our selfish pride and arrogance ... that we would have unity as

your church so we could have influence on America ... shake up our leaders, so they would see your greatness.”

Annual event draws God’s people

Inverness supports arts with federal aidFRED HIERS

Staff writer

The Inverness City Council voted unani-mously this week to set aside $100,000 of its fed-eral CARES Act money to help subsidize local cul-tural arts and special events.

The federal money is meant to stimulate local economies.

“COVID-19 was espe-cially hard on nonprofits and organizations that (host) art related events,” City Manager Eric Wil-liams told his council bosses this week.

Under the plan, the city will subsidize as much as 80% of the cost for

initiatives that fall under Inverness’ Special Event & Cultural Arts Grant Program.

Williams said the pro-gram doesn’t focus on any one type of project but en-courages businesses to or-ganize and host a variety of events. That could in-clude maybe the Chamber of Commerce hosting a single night of the annual Cooter Festival and work-ing with local businesses or maybe a speakers’ group leasing the Valerie Theatre for several engagements.

Applicants would fill out applications through the city about the events they want to host.

“This is amazing. The

most hurt (by the pan-demic) were nonprofits. This is letting people do what they do,” said Coun-cilwoman Jacquie Hepfer. “This has got to be fresh air (for organizations).”

The CARES Act is the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act.

� � �Also in city business, the

council received an addi-tional two last-minute let-ters of interest to lease the Depot District’s train sta-tion in Liberty Park.

The city council is look-ing to lease the empty building but has found it difficult during the past year with no takers.

In February, the city

sent out more than 400 re-quests for letters of inter-est for the train station as a potential full-service restaurant, brewery and other food related establishments.

The deadline to respond was April 30. Two business responded early but two more before deadline on April 30 about which the Chronicle had not yet reported.

The first two were Trail-side Treats and Breakfast Station.

On deadline, Diana Marsh also submitted a let-ter she might be interested in expanding one of her businesses there. She owns a painting studio and art gallery and a restaurant.

The other April 30 dead-line applicant was Connie Winburn, owner of Dock-side Deli in Inverness.

Williams said the letters made no mention of money, but the process is at the beginning phase and it was good to hear from interested parties.

Councilwoman Linda Bega said she was pleased with the responses and each had “great ideas” as to what they could do with the property.

Williams said now each interested party will bring more detail to the table and the city staff will re-port back.

Council Ken Hinkle said “It’s amazing we’re look-ing forward.”

ENTERTAINMENTR&B singer Aaron Neville, 80, retires

from touringNEW ORLEANS — Fans of

the sweet, melodic sounds of New Orleans’ legendary vocalist Aaron Neville won’t have many opportunities to hear him live from now on.

In posts Tuesday on his offi-cial website and via social media, Neville announced his of-ficial retirement from touring.

Now 80, Neville said embark-ing on multi-date tours is no lon-ger appealing.

“The time has come for me to stop ripping and running on the road,” Neville wrote. “I waited for someone to invent a way to beam me from show to show but no such luck. ... Unfortunately, the grueling nature of travel and the schedule needed to make a tour work has become less than desirable. The current climate of our world brought me many real-izations. Life is short and I’d like to spend my remaining time on this earth being less hurried.”

Still, Neville said his love for singing has not waned.

“It provides so much joy for me, at least as much as for those listening, if not more,” he said.

“Don’t see this as a perma-nent goodbye, by the grace of God, I will keep making more music and may show up at a special event or concert down the road,” he promises.

Neville hasn’t performed live since March 2020, when the coronavirus pandemic caused concerts to come to an abrupt halt in the U.S. Instead, he has livestreamed solo performances from Freville Farm, the 12-acre home in upstate New York where he and his wife, photogra-pher Sarah A. Friedman, have

lived since 2013. The virus is of great concern

to Neville, whose old age and asthma makes him especially at risk of developing a severe case of COVID-19.

“I don’t want to get sick,” Nev-ille said in an article last year written for AARP. “So, I canceled my tour dates and we’ve been home and isolated on our farm in New York.”

Neville’s solo career flourished after the 1966 release of “Tell It Like It Is” and a later collabora-tion with Linda Ronstadt on “Don’t Know Much” and “All My Life.”

Jhené Aiko, Saweetie to perform on AAPI TV specialNEW YORK — Platinum-sell-

ing performers of part-Asian de-scent, including R&B singer Jhené Aiko and rapper Saweetie, will perform on a TV special produced by The Asian American Foundation, the newly

formed organization launched to improve AAPI advocacy.

TAAF announced Thursday that English icon Sting will also perform at “See Us Unite for Change — The Asian American Foundation in service of the AAPI Community.” It will air on May 21 on a number of chan-nels, including MTV, BET, VH1, Comedy Central as well as Facebook Watch.

TAAF’s launch comes as an-ti-AAPI hate and violence per-sist at alarming rates. Actor Ken Jeong will host the spe-cial, which will include appear-ances by Daniel Dae Kim and Lisa Ling and “will feature tes-timonials from leading Asian American public figures, as well as individuals working to enact change on the ground,” organizers said.

The TV special coincides with TAAF’s See Us Unite campaign, which launched Thursday and is designed to expand support for the AAPI community.

Inverness Sertoma Club recently made a $2,000 donation to Sertoma Camp Endeavor for a new camp secu-rity system. Bud Osborn, Inverness Ser-toma Club treasurer presented the check to Ray Rogers and Lauren Hart-man, Camp Endeavor board representatives.

Camp Endeavor runs for two weeks every summer in Dundee, Florida. It’s an inclusive experience, where ASL (America Sign Language) is the primary mode of communication. The majority of youth campers and staff are fluent in

ASL and spend the week engaging in all the traditional camp activities.

Inverness Sertoma Club works throughout the year to give their time and money to youth groups all over Florida, including Citrus County’s Boy Scouts, Adopt-a-Highway program and schools.

Doris Behrens, 92

O C A L A

Doris Jean Behrens, 92, passed away May 4, 2021. She had been living at Brentwood at Fore Ranch S e n i o r L i v i n g C o m m u -nity in Ocala, FL since Aug 2018. She was born in the City of St . Louis, MO on June 3, 1928 to the late Marshall A. and Clorice J. (nee Fra-zier) Trucks. Deceased two half-brothers were John and Charles Davis Soots; but they were not raised together. Her young childhood was unique in that her father was a pho-tographer and traveled with the carnivals until she started school. She re-membered sneaking in to see the bearded ladies and other oddities. She was baptized, confirmed and married at Zion Evangeli-cal Lutheran Church 2500 North 21st Street (at Ben-ton), St. Louis, Missouri. She married Ralph Her-bert Behrens 19 Jun 1948 and they were happily married for almost 56 years. She worked for A T & T as a long distance and information operator from age 17 to 57. In 1985 they moved to Citrus Springs, FL and were members of Hope Evangelical Lu-theran Church.

Per her daughters, while growing up, every holiday was spectacular and they don’t know how she did it. She didn’t have hobbies, except in later years she traveled quite a bit. How-ever, she knew how to have fun in whatever she did which was usually with family and close friends. If you were a guest in her home, she treated you like royalty and she couldn’t do enough for you. She was a hardwork-ing, loving and dedicated mother that only wanted the best for her children.

Left to mourn are daughter, Marsha and hus-band Tom Barnum of Bev-erly Hills, FL and her children, Brian and wife Michell Snider of Knox-ville, TN; Krista (nee Snider) and husband Kis-han Bhatt of San Diego, CA; daughter, Charlynn Behrens of Citrus Springs, FL and her sons Chris & Gabriel Behrens-Hoskins. Chris is of Citrus Springs, FL and Gabriel of Crystal River, FL. Doris’ 7 great grandchildren are Chaz, River, Lyrik and Eva Beh-rens-Hoskins and Patrick Buckley all of Citrus County FL; Nathan Snider of Charleston, SC; Brianna (nee Snider) and husband Dustin Lowe of La Fol-lette, TN. She has 2 great, great grandchildren - Dustin Lowe Jr. and Gun-ner Lowe of La Follette, TN.

Memorial services will be held at Joy & Praise Fellowship Church in Bev-erly Hills, FL at a later date.

Her urn will be laid to rest at Florida National Cemetery, Bushnell, FL next to her husband at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, me-morial donations can be made to Marion County Hospice since they were so good to her at the end.

Joan Maher-Hanlon, 91

C RY S TA L R I V E R

Joan Olive King Maher- Hanlon was born to Wes-ley and June King on September 16, 1929, in C l e v e -l a n d , O h i o . T h e r e , she met J o h n M a h e r , whom she was mar-ried to for 58 years. In 1973 t h e y moved to Crystal River, Florida, where they lived together until John passed away in 2006. Those fif-ty-plus years of marriage produced her beloved children, Tom and Jackie.

Tom with his wife Gail, and Jackie with her hus-band Bob, brought three grandchildren, Ingrid, Rich, and Tim, into Joan’s life. Later, her grandchil-dren added their children and spouses to Joan’s fam-ily tree. Ken, Noah, He-lene, Natasha, Graham, McKenna, Benjamin, and Emeline all brought Joan tremendous joy and a sense of fulfillment as her great-grandchildren. At the same time, Tom, Heather, and Christy be-came beloved in-laws.

Nana, a name that many of her grand and great -grandchi ldren called her, found love again and remarried in 2009. Bob Hanlon was from her hometown, and the two of them expertly blended two families into a unit providing even more beautiful people for Nana to love. Bob’s chil-dren Kathleen, Michael, Diane, and Mary, all be-came very dear to her.

She worked very hard from a young age to ensure that everyone she loved was taken care of, includ-ing her sisters Janet, Judy, and Jill. Joan was an ex-ceptional sister, wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Yet she was even more than that. As an adult, she worked in the court sys-tem, the banking industry, and in real estate. She found charitable purpose with the Crystal River Li-oness Club, being active in the church, and volunteer-ing at the Key Center.

Through it all, she al-ways made time for fun. Joan loved to spend time on her boat at the shal-lows. She liked to fish, gar-den, attend to the environment and wildlife, the arts, and entertain her family and friends. Joan was a sucker for an animal in need. Numerous needy fur babies found comfort in her home and became treasured members of her family.

Later this year, she will take to her final resting place, next to her husband John, at the Florida Na-tional Cemetery in Bush-nell. A celebration of Joan’s life will take place on May 8, 2021, between 2:00 and 5:00 pm at her home in Crystal River. Flowers are always appre-ciated since she loved them so much. However, in place of flowers, the family suggests that peo-ple donate to the Citrus County Animal Shelter on Joan’s behalf.

Jonathan Bush, 89

B R O T H E R O F G H W B U S H

Jonathan Bush, the younger brother of the late President George H.W. Bush and uncle of former President George W. Bush, has died. He was 89.

Jonathan Bush died Wednesday at his home in Jupiter, Florida, according to a spokesman for the Texas-based George & Barbara Bush Foundation. He would have turned 90 on Thursday.

In a post on Twitter, the foundation said he was “a fine gentleman and a noble soul,” adding that he was “a great song and dance man — without a doubt the best dancer of his siblings.”

Bush, who worked in fi-nance, was the last surviv-ing of the family’s five siblings.

George H.W. Bush died in 2018 at his Houston home. Their sister, Nancy Bush Ellis, died in Janu-ary. Brother William Henry Trotter Bush, known as “Bucky,” died in 2018, and brother Prescott S. Bush Jr. died in 2010.

Their father was Prescott Sheldon Bush, a U.S. senator from Con-necticut from 1952 to 1963.

Jonathan Bush helped raise funds for his neph-ew’s presidential cam-paign and was among family members his brother sent to be official stand-ins at ceremonies across the world.

voters who generally wish to vote with a vote-by-mail ballot and voters who have historically had to over-come substantial hurdles to reach the ballot box, such as Florida’s senior voters, youngest voters and minority voters,” the lawsuit said.

Separately, the Florida State Conference of the NAACP, Disability Rights Florida and Common Cause filed a federal law-suit alleging that bill is un-constitutional and violates the Americans with Dis-abilities Act.

“The 2021 voter sup-pression law is just the lat-est in a long line of voter suppression laws targeting Florida’s Black voters, Latino voters, and voters with disabilities.” said the lawsuit, which was filed in Tallahassee and named Lee as the defendant. “For far too long, Florida’s law-makers and elected offi-cials have created a vast array of hurdles that have made it more difficult for these and other voters to make their voices heard.”

DeSantis and GOP law-makers argued that the bill, which addresses is-sues such as voting by mail, is needed to ensure secure elections. But Democrats and many

voting-rights groups said the bill would suppress voting after a November election in which Demo-crats far outdistanced Re-publicans in voting by mail amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Republican lawmakers in many states have pushed for new elections restrictions as former President Donald Trump has continued to falsely blame “rigged” and fraud-ulent elections for Demo-crat Joe Biden’s victory in November. Courts re-jected numerous lawsuits in which Trump and his supporters challenged the handling of the November elections. Trump defeated Biden handily in Florida.

The Florida bill ad-dresses a series of issues, including the use of drop boxes for mail-in ballots. Drop boxes became a flashpoint last year, as elections officials wran-gled with DeSantis’ ad-ministration over the location of the boxes and whether they needed to be manned at all times.

The bill will allow su-pervisors to use drop boxes at early voting sites and “permanent” branch offices, so long as the boxes are staffed by their employees. Among other changes, the bill will re-quire voters to request mail-in ballots more fre-quently than in the past.

Also, DeSantis said the

bill addresses issues such as preventing ballot “har-vesting,” which involves people and groups being able to collect and deliver ballots for voters.

Agriculture Commis-sioner Nikki Fried, the only statewide elected Democrat, criticized the bill this week, saying it would disenfranchise voters.

“They came for your vot-ing rights with SB 90, lim-iting mail ballots and drop boxes which proved essen-tial during a global pan-demic,” Fried said.

Even before DeSantis signed the bill, some oppo-nents were threatening to challenge the changes in court. The League of

United Latin American Citizens sent out a news release early Thursday saying it plans to file a law-suit against the state.

“These changes are de-liberately designed to af-fect mostly people of color and are being enacted at the direction of Gov. Ron DeSantis,” Domingo Gar-cia, national president of the group known as LULAC, said in a prepared statement. “Voter suppres-sion aimed at American citizens just because they are brown or black is dis-graceful, un-American, a n d f r a n k l y unprincipled.”

News Service Assign-ment Manager Tom Urban contributed to this report.

Inverness is currently allotted an average of 1.53 mgd of water.

The city uses between 104 gallons per day, per per-son and 110 gallons per day, per capita. The city serves about 11,283 people.

In its letter to the city, Swiftmud wrote that it was considering the city’s need at 1.22 mgd, a decrease of about 300,000 gallons per day, based on its current water use.

What brought this about was also that it’s time for the city’s new water use renewal, which will run through 2030.

But Williams said not so fast.

The city has spent mil-lions of dollars on its utili-ties and to increase its efficiencies. Likewise, the city’s residents and utility customers work hard to conserve their water use and use far less than the state average.

The average Florida water use is about 134 gal-lons per day, according to a 2017 report by the Bu-reau of Economic and Business Research.

When it comes to only residential use, a Swift-mud 2019 report showed that Citrus County resi-dential water customers

use only 86 gallons per day, per capita.

The county that used the most in Swiftmud’s 16-county jurisdiction was Sumter County, which used residentially 142 gal-lons per day, per capita.

In a 2017 interview with LawnStarter, Swiftmud spokeswoman Susanna Tarokh said that Sumters’ high residential water use could be due to retirement communities located in that county.

Williams said those communities, namely The Villages, likely far exceed Sumter County’s residen-tial use of 142 gallons per day per capita.

Williams reported to his council bosses that he asked Swiftmud that if the agency reduces Inverness’ permitted water use, where would the remaining 300,000 gallons per day go? Would it be put aside to ac-commodate Inverness’ growth later or just given to counties like Sumter?

Williams said the 1.5 mgd allotment does not reflect just today’s needs, but is also meant to reflect the needs and anticipated growth and development years from now.

“We are seeing growth at a feverish pace and the protection of capacity to remain concurrent with committed lands dating back as far as the 70s is paramount to proper

growth management and economic well-being of a city such as Inverness,” he told the Chronicle.

Inverness Acres and In-verness Village subdivi-sions alone are platted for a total of more than 2,000 lots. The city is looking to allow nearly 180 lots for Wyld Palm subdivision.

“The staff at (Swiftmud) have always been great to work with and this boils down to more of broad-based policies and ap-proaches set forth by the state,” Williams said.

“The current approach, as we understand it, does not provide protections for the concurrent investment

backed expectation of property owners/develop-ers of committed lands in the city beyond what is permitted within any 10-year period,” he said.

“To know we simply asked for what we have today (1.5mgd) to work for the next 10 years of ex-pected growth seemed more than reasonable. We were beyond shocked when we were met with a proposed reduction,” he added.

Williams said he and other city representatives have contacted Swiftmud with data explaining the predicted growth in hopes of persuading the state

agency to change its course.

Williams warned the city council that it was too risky to simply accept the 1.2 mgd and later go back to Swift-mud and ask for more when development begins.

Councilman Cabot Mc-Bride said Swiftmud offi-cials don’t see the city’s side of things.

“They need to see our side of this to see where we’re going,” he said. “This area is going to be exploding,”

Williams said he expects a Swiftmud response in the next few weeks.

“It’s been a long road and we were very con-cerned they wouldn’t com-plete the project,” Frink said. “We’re very appre-ciative they were able to bring the project to completion.”

The 24-hour store has 73 parking spaces and 16 gas pumps.

“I’m glad that Crystal River got (this Wawa),” said Scott Pierce of Bev-erly Hills, one of about 100 people who attended the opening. “It’s good for Crystal River and gives people jobs.”

Pierce arrived early for a free coffee and an egg sandwich.

He admits that the in-crease in traffic may be a problem but is hopeful it will work out.

Dave Filano, director of store operations for Wawa in Florida, said boat and large-vehicle parking is available to accommodate tourists and locals who

enjoy the area’s water sports.

“We’re so close to the water, that’s ideal,” Filano said.

Filano said “you couldn’t ask for a better lo-cation” than the corner of State Road 44 and U.S. 19.

Tyson Siler of Crystal River had been driving to the Lecanto Wawa to get gas because he loves the chain.

“(This new store) is liter-ally two minutes from my house,” he said. “I’ve been waiting for this. I’m a pretty big fanatic.”

Crystal River Mayor Joe Meek told the crowd he is pleased to welcome Wa-wa’s investment in the community. He praised Wawa for doing its home-work before coming here.

“Thank you for your

investment,” he told the crowds. “We really appre-ciate it. This intersection is very important to Crys-tal River and you guys did a great job.”

The project was delayed due in part to placement of a 20,000-gallon under-ground storage tank. Con-struction finally began in October 2020.

Wawa opened its first Citrus County location in May 2019 at the southeast corner of County Roads 486 and 491 in Lecanto.

Filano said there are no plans yet to open a Wawa in Inverness.

A choppy day of trading on Wall Street ended Thursday with stocks broadly higher and an-other all-time high for the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

Banks and technology companies led a late-after-noon turnaround that pushed the S&P 500 to a 0.8% gain, reversing the benchmark index’s losses for the week. Gains in most Dow companies, in-cluding Goldman Sachs, IBM and Cisco Systems, nudged the blue chip index to a new high for the second straight day.

Apple, Microsoft and Intel were among the win-ners, contributing to the rally in tech stocks. That helped the S&P 500’s tech-nology sector break a sev-en-day losing streak, which reversed an early slide in the Nasdaq.

The stock indexes wa-vered earlier in the day, weighed down by a sell-off in health care stocks. Drugmakers Moderna and Pfizer closed lower follow-ing news late Wednesday that the White House sup-ports waiving intellectual property rights for COVID0-19 vaccines in order to speed up immuni-zations in poorer countries.

Investors continued to

weigh the latest corporate earnings reports while looking ahead to a key jobs report due out Friday.

The S&P 500 bounced back from an early slide, adding 34.03 points to 4,201.62. The index is on track for its eighth weekly gain in the past 10 weeks. The Dow rose 318.19 points, or 0.9%, to 34,548.19. The Nasdaq Composite climbed 50.42 points, or 0.4%, to 13,632.84. The tech-heavy index had been down 1.1% in the early going.

The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies also recovered from a stumble to an essentially flat finish, adding 0.05 points, or less than 0.1%, to 2,241.42.

Bond yields were mixed, with the 10-year Treasury note trading at a yield of 1.57%, down from 1.58% late Wednesday.

Some healthcare stocks

fell after news late Wednesday that the White House supports waiving intellectual property rights for coronavirus vac-cines to help immunize poorer countries faster. That slide was countered by gains in household goods makers, banks and c o m m u n i c a t i o n companies.

Moderna lost 1.4% after the company reported its first-ever quarterly profit, helped by the company’s coronavirus vaccine. The drop was largely tied to the news from the White House, as shares of other drug companies fell, in-cluding Pfizer, which dropped 1%.

Shares of Johnson & Johnson were not hurt by the news, partly because J&J has other businesses like Band-Aids, the pain reliever Tylenol and its baby products franchise. The stock inched up 0.4%

Thursday’s close: $100.89, +6.89

Papa John’s shares made their biggest gain of the year after the pizza chain easily beat expectations as people continue to order out for food, even as the pandemic appears to be waning.

Louisville, Kentucky-based Papa John’s earned 90 cents per share, compared to the 56 cents Wall Street had targeted. The company said sales of $512 billion were boosted by its new stuffed crust pizza and other menu innovations. Global sales were

almost 25% higher than last year at this time, which was the beginning of a huge 2020 for the pizza franchise.

“This momentum is a result of the hard work of our team members and the strength of our franchise system, who together have delivered sustainable business growth over the past seven quarters,” said CEO Rob Lynch.

Shares of Papa John’s climbed 7.3% to $100.89 on Thursday.

OpiniOnPage A10 - FRIDAY, MAY 7, 2021

Agree with the apology sentimentThe May 5 letter in the

Chronicle ”Rock Crusher pur-chase idea reasonable” was reasonable in that Commis-sioner (Ron) Kitchen does owe the manager of Rock Crusher (Gulf to Lake Properties) an apology for being needlessly critical, as if the manager brought up the county buying Rock Crusher to the county — when it wasn’t that way, com-paring it to the county Meadowcrest purchase (as if the county made a mistake) that Kitchen in fact voted for!

I was at the commission meeting and expected Kitchen to vote against the county pur-chasing the Meadowcrest building for county office space — even though he re-cently said one commissioner pushed that sale through; that commissioner was Dennis Da-mato. As a candidate, I also voiced concern for the cost; time has proven former Com-missioner Dennis Damato cor-rect in that the county really did need the property. In fact, today I was at the Meadow-crest Government County Complex and was very happy with it as I waited to renew my FL Driver’s license. It is really a nice place and I didn’t have to drive all of the way to Inverness.

Thank you former Commis-sioner Damato for Meadow-crest, and I am sorry that I did not see your foresight.

So I apologized — will Com-missioner Kitchen apologize to the manager of Rock Crusher (Gulf to Lake Proper-ties) and to the heirs of Mr. Stan Olson who founded Meadowcrest, Black Diamond and Rock Crusher for the pub-lic slights?

It must be said to the writer of the letter, Mr. Robert Ros-cow, agreed that a public apol-ogy is owed the manager but with Kitchen, what is owed and what is expected is a to-tally different animal, as while he was a city councilman of Crystal River, he fought my

and my husband’s right to vote so he could have an annex-ation to collect more taxes (our right to vote was sup-ported by the Supervisor of Elections and the annexation was ruled illegal by a judge, because the city of Crystal River did not allow us to vote).

Mr. Roscoe, many times I have thought that I was owed an apology from Mr. Kitchen, but years have come and gone and it never came on what I would call was more than a slight.

But thank you for the letter, and it is good to know that someone else does have a sense of propriety!

Mother’s Day not for cows

This Sunday, May 9, we cel-ebrate Mother’s Day and the cherished bond between mother and child. Tragically, our dairy cows, worldwide icons of motherhood, never get to see or nurture their babies.

Newborn calves are torn from their mothers at birth and turned into veal cutlets, so we can drink their milk. The grief-stricken mother

cows bellow for days, calling in vain for their babies’ return.

Dairy cows spend their lives chained to concrete floors, with no access to the outdoors. Each year, they are impregnated artificially, to maintain their milk produc-tion, then milked by machines twice a day. When production drops, around four years of age, they are ground into hamburgers.

Dairy products are laden with cholesterol, saturated fats, hormones, pathogens, and antibiotics, leading to obesity, diabetes, heart dis-ease, and stroke. Many people lack the enzyme for digesting dairy products.

This Mother’s Day let’s honor motherhood and com-passion. Let’s replace the products of cow cruelty with delicious, healthful, eco-friendly nut and grain-based milk, cheese, and ice cream products offered by our supermarket.

What would you do mid-riot?

Here is a question for Sue Norman who is “aghast at new anti-riot law.” Imagine you are driving home and suddenly the road in front of you is blocked by an angry mob. There is no place to turn around or go another way. And before you can react, your car is surrounded by people screaming, yelling obscenities and pounding on your vehicle with fists hard enough to dam-age it, throwing rocks, break-ing windows. They will not hesitate to pull you out and in-flict serious injury. What would you do? Having seen this scenario unfold in other states, maybe our governor is trying to prevent someone in Florida from being faced with that question.

THINK HARD, SPEND WISELY

Think hard before spending rescue

plan dollarsMore than $29 million

in federal assistance is flowing to govern-

ment agencies in Citrus County as part of the Ameri-can Rescue Plan Act.

That is a huge amount of money and the members of our county commission must react with conservative plans to use the funds wisely to help families and b u s i n e s s e s . There is a three-year timeline on when the feds re-quire the assis-tance to be spent, so there is no need to rush into spending plans because deadlines exist.

The money can be used to provide assistance to house-holds, small business, non-profits and affected industries. It can also be used to overcome any COVID-related reductions of revenues for government services. There is also a stip-ulation that the funds can be used to invest in water, sewer and broadband infrastruc-ture expansion.

Florida is in a different po-sition than other states be-cause our economy has been reopened and employment options are many. The great-est challenge for local busi-nesses is the lack of employees willing to go back to work.

On the government spend-ing side of things, local gov-ernments in this state are most dependent on property taxes — and COVID really has not slowed that train down.

New influx of residential growth is happening, but the cost of building supplies and the competition for services is driving the expense way up. Manufacturing of needed supplies has been slowed by the international COVID re-strictions, and that is having a huge impact on our local

economy.Direct assis-

tance to impacted b u s i n e s s e s through the new one-stop support center in Inver-ness is a sound tactic to try to help local enter-prises that need assistance. This

is an effort where the county, two cities, chamber of com-merce and Score are all working together to lend assistance.

However, for a substantial amount of this funding, we would like to see the county address large infrastructure efforts that will have long-term economic impact. Im-proving water, sewer and broadband services will help individuals and the commu-nity to be more productive in the end.

Let us not blow through the bonanza to react to “short-term itches.” Let us spend time figuring out how to invest the federal dollars in a way that will permit us to climb out of the economic chaos caused by the pandemic.

We must figure out how to get the biggest long-term bang with the dollars. Think hard and spend wisely.

THE ISSUE:What to do with

the CARES funding.

OUR OPINION:Invest in the

future.

Look for bridges that unite

Thanks to Cortney Stewart for her insightful article, “Look for bridges that unite instead of barriers that divide” (Sunday’s, April 11, 2021, front-page Com-mentary Section C, “Seeing Be-yond” column). In the article, she suggests that pandemic fa-tigue has resulted in a lack of empathy; that is the ability to reach out and understand those around us. An old Joe South song, “Walk a Mile in My Shoes,” addresses this idea when it says: “Don’t abuse, criti-cize and accuse. Walk a mile in my shoes.” Let’s hope that each of us can eliminate barriers by striving to become more empathetic.

A waste of CARES Act money

(Re the Wednesday, April 14, 2021, front-page story) “County OKs relief plan” is a waste of $5.3 million of CARES Act money. It says, “Put simply, it is a way to help people who own a business run it successfully.” If

they don’t know what they’re doing in the first place, they should not be owning a business. We don’t need to tell them how to run their business. They should have the knowledge if they are opening a busi-ness. This is a waste of CARES Act money. It’s $5.3 million to tell peo-ple how to run their business. Now that’s a waste of money.

American Legion is there to help

Today (Wednesday, April 14, 2021), I volunteered at Post 155 for the American Legion to help with a food distribution. Well, it started at 9 o’clock and the truck was there with a huge, huge bank of food, all nutritious food — milk, vegetables, bread — you name it, it was there for the people to have. Well, we vir-tually had nobody come. I would probably say we had 25 people come between the hours of 9 and 11 and all of us veterans stood around ready and, quite

frankly, despondent. I think that people aren’t aware that our post is there to serve their needs. Hopefully, they’ll get this message and come, because we sent a lot of our food back to the Salvation Army — a great charity — but we’re there to assist. Every veteran is there to assist and we’re there

to help this community. Please have them take advantage of this wonderful, available food.

Cardinal planning a little late

(Re the Thursday, April 15, 2021, front-page story, “Board OKs plan for Cardinal”): I really don’t understand our county government. They knew the Sun-coast Parkway was coming. Now the commissioners want to tackle the Cardinal Street devel-opment. They should have thought of that a long, long time ago when they knew the Suncoast Parkway was coming through. Now that the inter-change is there, all of a sudden

they have to put in this and that. It should have been done a long time ago.

Shopping plaza owners get a deal

(Re the Wednesday, April 14, 2021, Page A3 story, “Total demolition possible for plaza”): Crystal River, they’re going to let this shopping center let go of the fees of $333,550 in unpaid assessments to help the owners knock down the shopping cen-ter. They get away scot-free, they get their building knocked down and they don’t have to pay the assessments fees.

New signs look classyI’d like to compliment Floral

City on their new street signs. They look very classy.

Barge Canal already has a ramp

This is in reference to people calling in about how the Barge Canal would make such a great place for a boat ramp. I wish people would do their home-work before saying such things. Newsflash: There is a boat ramp

there — always has been — and now it’s being greatly enlarged. It will be even bigger next year. Have a good day, Citrus.

Thanks for special anniversaryToday (Friday, April 16) was

our 61st wedding anniversary and we went out to eat at Char-lie’s Restaurant, had our “Mr. and Mrs. 1960 Anniversary” shirts on and everybody wished us a happy anniversary and it made it just such a special day. They brought us a Key lime pie on the house for dessert and a couple from Dunnellon picked up our check. Thank you, thank you, thank you — a very, very special day. Love to all. Thank you.

“We believe it’s exculpa-tory,” he said.

Prosecutors have told Howard an extraction would require the entire vehicle to be dismantled, destroying it.

Christensen also noted one of the witnesses was also in custody outside of Howard’s jurisdiction.

Howard on Thursday scheduled July 1 as an-other court date for Phil-lip Sawhill, the Land o’ Lakes 54-year-old accused of causing a deadly Christ-mas Eve crash on an In-verness roadway.

Sawhill’s attorney, Jimmy Brown, told the judge he’s waiting for data from a black box of a vehi-cle involved in the head-on collision from Dec. 24, 2019.

It’s alleged Sawhill tried to overtake five north-bound vehicles in a no-passing zone before his white Toyota Highlander struck a southbound Kia Optima on South Peasant

Grove Road, south of East Amy Lane.

Emergency responders pronounced the Kia’s

three oc-c u p a n t s — 62-year-old Ama-l i a Gomara, of Dun-n e l l o n ; 86 -year-old Clara A d e l a

Gorrin, of Hialeah; and 85-year-old Nilda Cordovi, of Pembroke Pines — dead at the crash scene.

Motorists stopped to help Sawhill escape from his Highlander, which had caught fire. Sawhill was hospitalized with serious injures.

Florida Highway Patrol troopers in November ar-rested Sawhill, who posted bail in December on a $90,000 bond. If convicted as charged, Sawhill faces up to 45 years in prison.

Also Thursday in felony court over Zoom:

� Howard scheduled the trial of Casey Ray Hardy, the Inverness 31-year-old accused of

making threats and shoot-ing a gun outside a house, for the week of Aug. 30.

Hardy is also due back in court Aug. 16 for a final pre-trial hear-ing to go over his charges of a g g r a -vated as-sault with a deadly

weapon and discharging a firearm in public.

His offense, according to reports, stems back to a dispute from October be-tween two teenagers on a school bus.

Hardy, a relative of one of the teens, allegedly went over Oct. 6 to the other minor’s house in Floral City, where he yelled at two of the teen’s family members before he fired three rounds into nearby ground.

Hardy left the shooting scene before deputies ar-rived. He was arrested Oct. 16 on a warrant, and was released from custody a few days later after post-ing bail on a $2,500 bond.

Joseph Indelicato, Har-dy’s lawyer, told Howard on Thursday his client was in the hospital, and said he doesn’t expect the case to go to trial.

Assistant State Attorney Kevin Davis said he also thinks Hardy’s charges could be resolved short of going to jurors, adding Hardy has no prior convictions.

� Two of three local de-fendants accused of am-bushing a man over a drug

debt ap-peared in court to get an-o t h e r h e a r i n g date.

Lecanto 18 -year-old Mal-a k h i

Jaheim Bellamy and Homo-sassa 19-year-old Strother Jones Natteal will be due back in court July 1, How-ard ordered Thursday.

Bellamy, Natteal and Crystal River 23-year-old Adrian Gage Williams face similar charges of armed

robber y, a g g r a -vated as-sault with a deadly w e a p o n and theft.

Natteal and Wil-l i a m s were also charged with armed burglary of a conveyance.

It’s alleged the trio robbed another man Nov. 16 near the intersec-tion of West Constitution Lane and South Gettys-burg Drive in Homosassa.

Bellamy had asked the man to meet so he could pay him back for mari-juana. At the meeting loca-tion, down a dirt trail, Bellamy, Natteal and

Williams allegedly m u g g e d the man, r o b b i n g him of his wallet, car keys and c e l l -phone.

They also rummaged through the man’s vehicle, stealing marijuana and a firearm Bellamy then used to threaten the man’s life before he, Williams and Natteal ran away.

Williams has a court hearing slated for June 24.

Biden’s plan would boost

conservation of US lands, watersWASHINGTON — The

Biden administration on Thursday detailed steps to achieve an ambitious goal to conserve nearly one-third of America’s lands and waters by 2030, relying on voluntary efforts to preserve public, private and tribal areas while also helping tackle climate change and create jobs.

A report, with the lofty title “America the Beautiful,” calls for a decade-long commit-ment on projects nationwide to make the conservation and restoration of lands and waters an urgent priority. The plan would purify drinking water, increase green space, improve access to outdoor recreation, restore healthy fisheries, reduce the risk of wildfires and recognize the “oversized contributions” of farmers, ranchers, forest owners, fishers, hunters, rural communities and tribal nations.

In the process, the effort will produce thousands of new jobs and a stronger economy while also ad-dressing climate change and environmental justice, includ-ing expanded access by dis-advantaged communities to the outdoors, the report said.

Alabama House drops resistance,

OKs medical marijuana bill

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — The Alabama House of Rep-resentatives overcame years of resistance in approving medical marijuana legislation on Thursday, voting after two days of long and emotional debate in which key Republi-can lawmakers described switching sides in favor of the proposal.

Representatives voted 68-34 to pass the bill, which would allow people with a qualifying medical condition to purchase medical mari-juana with the recommenda-tion of a doctor. The bill now returns to the Alabama Sen-ate to settle differences or be sent to a conference committee.

The state Senate had al-ready approved the bill last February by a 21-8 vote after just 15 minutes of debate. But the House of Represen-tatives had traditionally been more skeptical of medical marijuana proposals and sent the bill through two committees before it reached the House floor.

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey’s office did not immediately re-spond to a request for com-ment on the bill.

Blinken reaffirms US support for Ukraine amid

Russia tensionKYIV, Ukraine — U.S.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken reaffirmed Washing-ton’s support for Ukraine at a meeting Thursday with Pres-ident Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the wake of Kyiv’s height-ened tensions with Russia, fueled by Moscow’s recent troop buildup near their border.

The top American diplo-mat met with Zelenskyy during his one-day visit and reiterated the U.S. commit-ment to Ukraine’s “sover-eignty, territorial integrity and independence,” while also underscoring the importance of Ukrainian efforts to tackle widespread corruption and carry out reforms.

“Ukraine is facing two challenges: aggression from outside, coming from Rus-sia, and in effect aggression from within, coming from corruption, oligarchs and others who are putting their interests ahead of those of the Ukrainian people,” Blinken told a news confer-ence after meeting with Zelenskyy.

Police: Maldives Speaker Mohamed Nasheed injured

in blastMALE, Maldives — Mal-

dives’ first democratically elected president and cur-rent Parliament Speaker Mo-hamed Nasheed was injured in a blast Thursday near his home and was being treated in a hospital, police said.

Home Minister Imran Ab-dulla told a local television that Nasheed’s injuries were not life-threatening and that the government will get the assistance of foreign agen-cies in the investigations.

Police said they were in-vestigating and urged people to avoid the blast area in the capital, Male, in a text mes-sage that didn’t give further details.

Photos circulated on so-cial media showed a ripped-up motorcycle at the scene but police did not say whether the blast was an as-sassination attempt. How-ever, neighboring India’s External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar in a tweet de-scribed the blast as an at-tack on Nasheed.

In major move, South Africa to

end captive lion industry

CAPE TOWN, South Af-rica — South Africa says it will end its captive lion indus-try in a major move for con-servation that would outlaw the heavily criticized “canned hunting” of the big cats and sale of their bones, as well as popular tourist experi-ences like petting cubs.

The policy, which still needs to be made into law, would effectively end the world’s legal lion bone trade. South Africa is the only country given a special dis-pensation by the Convention on International Trade in En-dangered Species to sell and export lion bones, claws and teeth, and they have to be from captive lions. None of those parts from wild lions can be sold or traded anywhere.

South Africa’s announce-ment was praised by wildlife groups that want to see the iconic species left to live in the wild or in recognized conservation parks. They say the captive lion business in South Africa has been marked by disregard for the animals’ welfare in favor of profit.

LAKE CHARLES, La. — With a badly aging bridge as his backdrop, President Joe Biden stood in reliably Repub-lican Louisiana on Thursday to pressure GOP lawmakers to sup-port his $2.3 trillion in-frastructure plan — and yet express a willing-ness to compromise on the corporate tax hikes he’s recommending to pay the cost.

Biden leaned into the stagecraft of the presi-dency by choosing to speak in the city of Lake Charles, which has been battered by historic storms and is home to a 70-year-old bridge that is two decades past its

designed lifespan. Where to find the

money for replacements and repairs here and elsewhere? The Demo-cratic president, who wants to raise corporate taxes, challenged Re-publican dogma that low taxes for corpora-tions and the wealthy fuel economic growth. But he also declared he was willing to make a deal and dared them to do the same.

“I’m willing to hear ideas from both sides,” said Biden. “I’m ready to compromise. What I’m not ready to do is, I’m not ready to do noth-ing. I’m not ready to have another period where America has an-other Infrastructure Month and it doesn’t change a damn thing.”

Even as he engages

with Republicans in Washington, Biden is trying to sell their voters on the idea that higher corporate taxes can pro-vide $115 billion for roads and bridges and hundreds of billions of dollars more to upgrade America’s electrical grid, make the water system safer, rebuild homes and jump-start the manufacturing of electric vehicles. To drive home the point, he also toured a water plant in New Orleans.

He’s proposing to pay for his plan by un-doing the 2017 tax cuts signed into law by President Donald Trump and raising the corporate tax rate from 21% to 28%. Biden con-tends his programs would bolster the mid-dle class and make the

country stronger than tax cuts for big compa-nies and CEOs.

“You’re entitled to be a millionaire, be a bil-lionaire, just pay your fair share,” said Biden. “I’m not looking to pun-ish anyone. I’m sick and tired of corporate Amer-ica not doing their fair share.”

The White House has found little support from congressional Re-publicans, none of whom voted for the $1.9 trillion COVID-19 bill signed into law in March and who have, so far, uniformly opposed the infrastructure plan. But the West Wing has pointed to polling that suggests the plan is pop-ular with GOP voters and notes that some Re-publican officials do back it.

Cheney faces challenge in HouseALAN FRAMAssociated Press

WASHINGTON — Rep. Elise Ste-fanik stated her case Thursday for replacing Rep. Liz Cheney as the No. 3 House Republican leader, im-plicitly lambasting Cheney’s battles with former President Donald Trump by saying, “We are one team and that means working with the president.”

The remarks by Stefanik, R-N.Y., a one-time moderate who’s evolved into an ardent Trump champion, came as Cheney seems likely to be tossed from her leadership post next week. Cheney, R-Wyo., has re-peatedly rejected Trump’s false in-sistence that he lost the 2020 election because of widespread fraud, and has blamed him for in-flaming followers who assaulted the Capitol on Jan. 6.

Speaking on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast, Stefanik said she is committed to “sending a clear

message that we are one team and that means working with the presi-dent and working with all of our ex-cellent Republican members of Congress.” Stefanik repeatedly used “president” in referring to Trump.

Facing opposition from Trump and the House’s two top Republi-cans — Minority Leader Kevin Mc-Carthy and Whip Steve Scalise — Cheney has remained defiant.

In an opinion essay in The Wash-ington Post, Cheney implored her GOP colleagues on Wednesday to pry themselves from a Trump “cult of personality” and declared that the party and even American de-mocracy were at stake. “History is watching,” she said.

Trump issued a statement giving his “COMPLETE and TOTAL En-dorsement” to Stefanik, 36, who’s played an increasingly visible role within the GOP.

Stefanik responded quickly, high-lighting his backing to colleagues who will decide her political future.

“Thank you President Trump for your 100% support for House GOP Conference Chair. We are unified and focused on FIRING PELOSI & WINNING in 2022!” she tweeted.

The careers of Cheney and Ste-fanik are seemingly racing in oppo-site directions, as if to contrast the fates awaiting Trump critics and backers in today’s GOP.

The turmoil also raised questions about whether the price for political survival in the party entails stand-ing by a former president who keeps up his false narrative about a fraud-ulent 2020 election and whose sup-porters stormed the Capitol just four months ago in an attempt to disrupt the formal certification of Joe Biden’s victory.

In her essay, Cheney denounced the “dangerous and anti-democratic Trump cult of personality,” and warned her fellow Republicans against embracing or ignoring his statements “for fundraising and po-litical purposes.”

REBECCA BOONEAssociated Press

BOISE, Idaho — A sixth-grade girl brought a gun to her Idaho middle school, shot and wounded two stu-dents and a custodian and then was disarmed by a teacher Thursday, authori-ties said.

The three victims were shot in their limbs and ex-pected to survive, officials said at a news conference. Jefferson County Sheriff Steve Anderson says the girl pulled a handgun from her backpack and fired multiple rounds inside and outside Rigby Middle School in the small city of

Rigby, about 95 miles southwest of Yellowstone National Park.

A female teacher dis-armed the girl and held her until law enforce-ment arrived and took her into custody, authori-ties said, without giving other details. Authorities say they’re investigating the motive for the attack and where the girl got the gun.

“We don’t have a lot of details at this time of ‘why’ — that is being investi-gated,” Anderson said. “We’re following all leads.”

The girl is from the nearby city of Idaho Falls,

Anderson said. He didn’t release her name.

Police were called to the school around 9:15 a.m. after students and staffers heard gunfire. Multiple law enforcement agencies responded, and students were evacuated to a nearby high school to be reunited with their parents.

“Me and my classmate were just in class with our teacher — we were doing work — and then all of a sudden, here was a loud noise and then there were two more loud noises. Then there was scream-ing,” 12-year-old Yandel Rodriguez said. “Our

teacher went to check it out, and he found blood.”

Yandel’s mom, Adela Rodriguez, said they were OK but “still a little shaky” from the shooting as they left the campus.

Both of the students who were shot were being held at the hospital, and one of them might need surgery, said Dr. Michael Lemon, trauma medical director at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center.

Still, both students were in fair condition and could be released as early as Fri-day. One of the students had wounds in two limbs and might have been shot twice, he said.

Clarke shoots 66 to take Regions lead

Associated Press

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Darren Clarke took the lead Thursday in the Regions Tradition, opening with a 6-under 66 in the first of five PGA Tour Champions majors.

The 2011 British Open champion from Northern Ireland had a one-stroke lead over Stephen Ames and Jerry Kelly at Greystone Golf & Coun-try Club.

“Majors are majors, it doesn’t make any difference which tour they’re on,” Clarke said. “You want to play well. You ask Tiger Woods, you ask Rory McIlroy, you ask Dustin (Johnson), you ask Mr. (Jack) Nicklaus, you ask any-body, majors are what they all want, and it’s the same out here.

“We all want them, too. There’s a little bit of added excitement, four-round tournament. I think it’s the first tournament I’ve walked since Pebble Beach last year, so my legs are a little bit sore.”

He won his lone senior titles in con-secutive starts in early November in Florida and late January in Hawaii.

Clarke started on the 10th hole with back to back birdies and added three straight birdies before making the turn. He added birdies on Nos. 2 and 7 and dropped a stroke on the par-4 eighth.

Steve Stricker, the 2019 winner, was among three players two shots back at 68. The tournament was canceled last year because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Alex Cejka and Mike Weir, who’s coming off a win at the Insperity Invi-tational, also opened with 68s. World Golf Hall of Famer Ernie Els was among a group of seven players at 69.

Mickelson opens with 64 at Quail Hollow

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Phil Mickelson has gone nine months since he finished among the top 20, and it looks as though that streak is about to end at the Wells Fargo Championship.

The 50-year-old Mickelson kept his focus at Quail Hollow and blistered the course for a 7-under 64 to build a two-shot lead after the opening round. All but one of his eight birdies was longer than about 5 feet.

K.H. Lee had a 66 in the morning, while Innisbrook runner-up Keegan Bradley had a 66 in the afternoon.

The group at 67 included former U.S. Open champion Gary Woodland, Tommy Fleetwood and Keith Mitchell, who reached 6 under until a sloppy double bogey on the long par-3 sixth hole and closed with a bogey.

Tavatanakit and Thitikul lead home LPGA event

PATTAYA, Thailand — Local stars Patty Tavatanakit and Atthaya Thitikul carded 8-under 64s to share a stroke lead after the first round of the LPGA Thailand.

Laporta leads in the Canary Islands

TENERIFE, Spain — Francesco La-porta shot a 9-under 62 for the lowest round of his European Tour career and a one-shot lead after the opening round of the Canary Islands Championship.

Spaniard Scott Fernandez was in sec-ond place and a group of three golfers was another shot back.

This weekend in TampaSEAN ARNOLDRiverland News

A group of talented young football players from Marion and Citrus County, including some standouts from Dunnellon, will be competing May 8 and May 9 in a 7-on-7 foot-ball national tournament in Tampa.

The tournament is the TruXposure Champion-ship 7v7 Battle Royale and will feature elite young-sters and teams from 15 different states. This is the first national champi-onship tournament for the circuit series. It was founded and still headed by Johnathan Mumphrey, a former All-American football player at South-ern Methodist University.

The local players will compete on 12U, 14U

and 15U squads.The teams are spon-

sored by Houston Texan defensive back and former Dunnellon Tiger Terrence Brooks.

Maurice Jones, of Dun-nellon, is head coach of the 12U team, which won its southeastern champi-onship in Orlando to earn a free bid to the national championship tourna-ment. Earnest McNeil, the defensive coordinator for the Dunnellon High School varsity football team, calls offensive plays for the 12U team, and Anwar Taylor calls the de-fensive plays.

In the 7-on-7 format, de-fenses score points for in-terceptions and for forcing 3-and-outs, while the quar-terbacks have to get rid of the ball in under four sec-onds. Jones said the games are especially helpful for training young receivers to run better routes and for improving the skills of cor-nerbacks. It’s also a way for talented young players

to face exceptional compe-tition and gain exposure.

Jones said around 90 players tried out for the local teams.

“In other years, we were kind of dabbling with tour-naments, but this year we have about 70 kids be-tween the four teams,” Jones said at a practice at the Ocala Regional Sports Complex near West Port High School.

Jones’ team had to beat a multi-state all-star team in the regional champion-ship composed of players from Alabama, West Vir-ginia and North Carolina. The future Tigers have won three of their six tour-naments this year. Jones credited his players’ talent and the coaches who sur-round him for their success.

“If you come from tackle football, if you haven’t done 7-on-7, you’re not going to run the proper routes, because you hav-en’t done it,” Jones said. “Most of this group is 6th- and 7th-graders. When they get to high school, they’re going to be ready.”

The 14U team is headed by Mike Follins, who coached Jones in the Mar-ion County Youth Football League (MCYFL) and has won multiple 7-on-7 championships.

Some key players from the 12U team include: Amari Jones, of Dunnel-lon, Omarion Walker, Ralph Navarex, Jordan Honor, and Amoni Arm-strong, of Seven Rivers Christian School in Le-canto. The 14U team is highlighted by Dylon Curry, Javen Frazier and Josey Farmer, according to Jones, while the 15U team, led by coach Seth Ray, fea-tures Jamil Watkins, of Vanguard, Jacob Engel-hardt and Brandon Cour-tois, each of Trinity Catholic, and Jacobie McBride.

Chris Henry (15U), from Lecanto High School, and Sean Martin (14U), of Cit-rus Springs Middle School, along with Armstrong (12U), come from Citrus County to play with the Marion County players.

Hurricanes get no-hit in

extra-inning loss to Eustis

CHRIS BERNHARDT JR.

Staff writer

INVERNESS — Citrus came within one hit of a miraculous comeback. But a hit was some-thing the Hurricanes just couldn’t come by on Thursday night.

In a show of fortitude Citrus scored three times in the bot-tom of the eighth inning after giving up four runs that broke a scoreless tie in the top of the in-ning. Ultimately, though, the tying run was stranded on third as visiting Eustis tossed a no-hitter and won a Region 4A-2 quarterfinal in an extra in-ning, 4-3.

“It’s tough, especially the way that one ended,” Citrus head coach Jon Bolin said. “And that’s just a small glimpse of what the hell this team’s been playing all year, never quit and never giving up. I’m super-proud of these kids.

“As far as emotions, of course I’m disappointed but I’m ex-cited, because I’ve got to watch these kids grow into young men.”

The Panthers (12-17) began the bottom of the eighth with a new pitcher, taking out starter Scout Updike after he tossed seven exquisite innings. Updike, a right-handed senior, faced one over the minimum through the first five, having walked Tim Flippen in the fourth.

He ran into trouble with one out in the bottom of the sixth when Tyler Cameron walked and Cason Williamson was hit by pitch, then both advanced a base on a wild pitch as the next batter struck out.

Flippen again walked to load the bases, but Updike dropped in an off-speed pitch on the

outside corner for a called third strike to end the threat. Updike walked three, hit one batter and struck out eight overall.

“He was able to pitch back-wards. He couldn’t locate his fastball very well, but he had a pretty good breaking ball, pretty good slider, and he was able to locate it for strikes,” Bolin said of Updike.

Meanwhile Flippen and Cris-tofer Walley had combined to limit Eustis to just one hit, a sin-gle in the first inning. The left-hander Walley came in to start the fifth and was spectacular for three innings, retiring all nine batters he faced, eight of them via strikeout.

The sophomore Walley came into the game 5-0 with five saves, to go with a 0.67 ERA, and 87 strikeouts in 41.2 innings.

“He was terrific,” Bolin said of Walley’s season as a whole. “Pretty sure he had a sub-1.00 ERA. He pitched great for us as a starter, he pitched great for us as a reliever.”

Things got away from the ’Canes in the top of the eighth, starting with a leadoff walk by Paxxton Hack. T.J. Glover bunted him over to second and Brandon Triplett was intention-ally walked.

Nehemiah Cook and Ronnie Hopper followed by each work-ing a walk, the latter bringing in the game’s first run. Ty Van Dyke’s bunt rolled past the mound toward the second base-man, giving him a RBI single as well as the Panthers’ second and final hit of the game.

With two outs, Kiran Ramjeet and Brock Cartin walked with

the bases loaded to account for the other two runs.

Citrus, though, mounted a similar rally against two Eustis relievers. Bryce Pixley worked a leadoff walk, and after two outs Brycen Kersh, Flippen and Wal-ley all earned free passes.

It was Walley’s walk with the bases loaded that got the ’Canes on the scoreboard. Then a bad pickoff throw to first allowed two more to come home and put the tying run on third.

After another walk to Mikey McSharry, Chase Roberts in-duced a groundout to third base that ended it, so he was able to combine with Updike and Tan-ner Walker on the no-no.

“I never thought we’d quit. Even when we were down by four, I could see it in their eyes. I never thought they’d quit,”

Bolin said. “This team is just not built on that type of idea of quit-ting. We’re not going to quit.

“… Any time you get no-hit that’s frustrating, and especially when we had a chance to get a big base hit right there.”

It was a bittersweet end to a breakout season for Citrus, pro-ducing their first winning re-cord, regional appearance and district championship since 2015.

“I am going to miss these se-niors as much as I’ve missed any senior class,” Bolin said. “What I told the team was, ‘We’re going to build on what you gave us. You gave us the will to fight, the will to battle.’ I basically said this group here, senior, junior, freshman, sophomore, whatever the case may be, put Citrus back on the map.”

Good Times

In March, several members of the photography club traveled to the Vero Beach area for some exceptional photography opportunities. Here are a few of their stories.

Ospreys everywhere NaNcylee Mudd

Special to the Chronicle

Jim and I had a special experience re-cently. We traveled to Blue Cypress Lake in central Florida and stayed two

nights at the fishing camp there. We met warm and friendly people who are also very knowledgeable about the lake and its inhabitants.

We were met in the early morning at the dock by Captain Don in his pontoon boat. Captain Don has been living and working on the lake for a lot of years and gladly shared his expertise as he slipped out onto the open water, which is surrounded by beauti-ful old cypress trees draped in moss.

The sight in the golden light was special. But the best part came when he began nudging the boat close to trees and direct-ing us to see the osprey, on big nests and perched on branches; dozens of birds, sit-ting and flying in and out from the nests as we trained our cameras on them for terrific shooting opportunities.

At one point, I put my camera in my lap and just marveled at the activity and the beauty of six or seven osprey at a time.

We shot for about two hours and came back with some of the best osprey photos we have ever taken. We made a new friend and learned a lot, too.

The lake is fairly close to the Stick Marsh, so just for icing on this photographic cake, we went there to see dozens of spoonbills in their mating colors. They were actively building nests and flying back and forth from the rookery. They even put on a bath-ing show for us!

What a magical couple days’ escape. We will do it again next year, God willing.

Roseate spoonbill encounteraNN M. Brixey

Special to the Chronicle

At the end of March, I spent a week over on Florida’s east coast where I was to participate in two photogra-

phy workshops. The first one was to photo-graph roseate spoonbills near Fellsmere.

It was still dark when we met photogra-pher Mark Smith and followed him to Stick Marsh. After what seemed like miles on a dusty road, our destination was in sight. The sun was just coming up behind us as we drove into the parking area.

Mark left me to gather my equipment while he went quickly to check the sur-rounding area for nesting material that would bring the birds closer to us. His son, who would be our spotter, briefed me on safety instructions regarding water mocca-sins and alligators, etc., as we walked to the

viewing spot. Across the inlet was the rookery. In this

golden hour the sight was amazing, a huge bush, dark green dotted with many pink out-lines. To add to the attraction, the scene was reflected in the water that rippled gen-tly in the soft breeze.

Several photographers had already set up and were chatting quietly while we all waited expectantly for the show to start. The sun was higher when these birds, all in full breeding color, began to fly in. Shutters clicked at the arresting sight they made, as one by one they flew across the water, land-ing just yards in front of us.

There was an abundance of grasses and twigs that could be used for a nest. The birds carefully foraged, each piece of mate-rial was examined before a final selection was made. The bird then triumphantly re-turned to its mate.

There were several other bird species in

the area, but it was the spoonbills who were the stars of the show that morning.

“We have a spoonie just landed in the water.” Mark’s son told me. “Let’s go, hope-fully you’ll get some shots of it bathing.”

I followed the two men over to the airboat ramp, where, with camera at the ready I waited and watched. It was not long before I witnessed this awesome ritual. Water droplets flew as the bird ceremoniously bathed in the morning light.

The time seemed to speed by, and all too soon, much of the bird’s activities had less-ened. The best of the birds’ displays were over. Sadly, after one last shot, we returned to our respective vehicles. The morning’s spectacle was an experience I will never forget.

Solve a murder mystery at Valerie

Two Pence Productions presents “Phantom of the Val-erie,” an interactive murder mystery by Eileen Moushey. Performances are at 7 p.m. May 14 and 15 and 2:30 p.m. May 16 at the Valerie Theatre, 207 Courthouse Square in Inverness.

It’s the out-of-town tryout for yet another “Phantom.” The producer, Clinton Slade, is attempting to keep peace and mollify the artistic force behind the production, the ge-nius impresario Marco Virelli. Marco is being his tempera-mental and difficult self. He is imperious with his sister, The-resa, his wife, Alexis, and brother-in-law, Timmy.

Maria, the ingénue, is the only one with whom he has patience. Slade watches as his show and his investment go down the drain after one of the principal players is mur-dered. Among the suspects is another “Phantom” — the one who haunts the Valerie The-atre and is seen and heard in glimpses throughout the performance.

It’s the audience’s job to be attentive and investigate to figure out who the “Phantom of the Valerie” truly is.

Tickets are $15 per person at ValerieTheatre.org.

Friends of the Library groups are amaz-ing in their support and dedication to our libraries.

“They work hard to ensure that our li-braries have the additional resources to fund programs and activities beyond what can be provided through the an-nual budget,” Head said.

“I’m always honored when they ask me to come and install their board and officers each year, it’s a great opportu-nity to thank them and hear their input on issues that are important to them,” he noted.

As the new board of Friends of Coastal Region Library were installed, a new president emerged as longtime President Kathy Robey retired. The new president is Philip Cote. Kathy Robey will now become a director.

“Kathy has been a member since 2012 and president since 2013,” said Cote, and has done a great job.

The pandemic has changed the book sales for now.

“With the pandemic, earning monies through book sales has been a chal-lenge, with smaller and more frequent pop-up sales currently taking place, as compared to multi-day book sales,” said Susan Mutschler, Homosassa and Coastal manager and proliteracy certi-fied trainer.

“With their funding, The Friends sponsor multiple classes and services at the Coastal Region branch as well as beautification projects, literacy classes and summer reading programs with prize incentives,” she said.

“One of the coolest sponsorships from The Friends is their support in funding Game One, which brings many of the teens into the library after school to play video games using a Nintendo Switch on a projected screen. The teens learn strategy, critical thinking and even social skills such as sharing and good sportsmanship,” Mutschler added.

“The Friends support really makes the library a welcoming place for peo-ple of all walks of life,” she added.

For example, they redesigned the teen zone with paint, art and furniture

and recently redecorated the commu-nity room with paint, décor, and new in-dustrial strength folding chairs. Years ago, they added a beautiful storybook mural at the entrance of the children’s library section.

“The value of the Coastal Region Li-brary to the Crystal River Community cannot be overstated, be it to enrich the academic life of its students, as a re-source for adults or just for the pleasure of reading our favorite authors,” said Phil Cote, president.

“Whether printed texts or electronic communication, you’ll find it at the Coastal Region Library where the won-derful staff is there for your needs or questions,” Cote added.

According to a newspaper article from the 1980s, a group of book lovers created Friends of the Library “to see additions and improvements to the li-brary, to expand programs and to rich all the people in Crystal River. The li-brary group was originally started by a similar group which disbanded.”

The new Friends of the Library wanted to expand library programs, en-courage gifts of financial help to fund things not in the budget, to campaign for additional space, add more books and add more cultural programs for the community.

Griffin, a director, joined at the urging of her friend Ruth Levins and enjoys being part of Friends.

“Libraries are important to communi-ties,” she said.

Another director, Madeline Markowitz said she joined through her friend Lucy Ann Wines. Wines asked her to join and said, “ you will love it.” Markowitz echoed, “And I do love it!”

Abby Quiqley, director, also enjoys being on the board of Friends. She was a 25-year librarian while living in an-other state.

Doreen Lavista, secretary, has been involved with the Friends for about a year now. She was formerly involved with a library while she lived in New York State.

Currently, she said, “I do classes on tarot and meditation at Coastal Region.”

“The current Coastal Regions Friends in Crystal River is the successor of the original Friends of the Library school that supported the old Crystal River Li-brary prior to 1987 when we became the Citrus County Library System,” said Eric C. Head.

“They are also part of the larger col-lective partnership that is the Friends of the Citrus County Library System. Each of our five branch libraries in Citrus County has a well established Friends group and they have collectively raised over $1.3 million for our Library System since 2001,” Head recalled.

“As a volunteer, I want to help this valuable institution thrive. You can too, as a member of Friends of the Library,” Philip Cote said.

“Die Propylaen” was a period-ical begun in July 1798 by Jo-hann Wolfgang von Goethe and Johann Heinrich Meyer. In its introduction, Goethe wrote, “The same man will ... often see and judge the same things differ-ently on different occasions.”

It is true at the bridge table. An expert will sometimes make a different bid or adopt an alter-native line of play depending on

the standard of his opponents.This deal is different from

that, though. How should South plan the play in either six spades or seven spades after West leads the diamond queen?

South opens with a strong, ar-tificial, forcing two clubs, North responds with a negative two di-amonds, and South reveals his longest suit. Now North’s three-club rebid is a double (or sec-ond) negative, showing 0-3 points. Then, on the third round, with a maximum(!), three trumps and a ruffing value in hearts, North jumps to four spades. Fi-nally, South bids what he hopes he can make.

Unusually, the best line of play in six spades is the same as that in seven spades.

Declarer, after winning with the diamond ace, draws exactly two rounds of trumps, cashes his top hearts and ruffs a heart in the dummy. When that passes off safely, South discards his last heart on the diamond king, ruffs a diamond in hand, draws West’s last trump and claims.

Note that if declarer draws only one round of trumps, East overruffs the dummy on the third round of hearts, which kills seven spades, but not six.

Plan 9 From Outer Space Ta-ble Read

Ed Wood’s ultra-low-budget 1957 sci-fi flick “Plan 9 From Outer Space” has been called the worst movie ever made. It certainly has acquired cult status as a camp classic, and this new 90-minute special — airing as part of the 2021 TCM Classic Film Festival —

features a company of comics in a reading of Wood’s script, as adapted by Dana Gould. Performers include Maria Bamford, Bobcat Goldthwait, Laraine Newman, Bob Oden-kirk, Paul F. Tompkins, Baron Vaughn and Gary Anthony Williams. Wood’s cheesy origi-nal airs immediately afterward.

Happily WhereverThis new house-hunting series focuses on couples who are lucky enough to be able to work re-motely from any location that in-cludes reliable broadband access. In each episode, the prospective clients explore what their budget would permit them to buy in their current city, compared to smaller markets in vastly different parts of the country. Armed with that info, they then decide whether they want to stay put or relocate to a new city where they can get more “home” for their dollar.

9 p.m. on # %Great Performances

The great British actor Toby Jones (“Wayward Pines”)

gives a heartbreakingly good performance in the title role of a sad-sack estate manager in early 20th-century Russia in Irish playwright Conor McPherson’s (“The Seafarer”) new translation of Anton Chek-hov’s dramatic masterpiece “Uncle Vanya.” Filmed with-out an audience in London’s Harold Pinter Theater after the COVID-19 pandemic shuttered the city’s West End in 2020, di-rector Ian Rickson’s acclaimed revival includes a superb cast that also includes Richard Ar-mitage (“The Hobbit” movie trilogy), Roger Allam, Anna Calder-Marshall, Rosalind Eleazar and Peter Wight.

9 p.m. on & *Magnum P.I.

This detective show reboot wraps up its third season with “Bloodline,” with Magnum and Higgins (Jay Hernandez, Perd-ita Weeks) taking on a stalking case involving a girl and a man with experience in espionage. On a more personal note, Ethan (guest star Jay Ali) invites Hig-

gins to join him on a trip for Doctors Without Borders, just as Magnum has started to warm up to other possibilities with his partner. Zachary Knighton and Stephen Hill also star. CBS recently greenlit Season 4 of this series.

9 p.m. on LDynasty

As Season 4 opens with “That Unfortunate Dinner,” Fallon and Liam (Elizabeth Gillies, Adam Huber) are planning their nuptials, with some de-cidedly unsolicited input from mother-of-the-bride Alexis (Elaine Hendrix). Later, Alex-is and Jeff (Sam Adegoke) announce their new status as a power couple via a glitzy photo shoot, while Dominique (Michael Michele) looks for help when she runs into obsta-cles trying to launch her new fashion line. Elsewhere, An-ders (Alan Dale) is stunned by what he finds after doing some digging. Sam Underwood and Grant Show also star.

Dear Annie: I’ve been with the same guy for three years. At first, he

was incredibly thoughtful and sweet. Over time, I’ve grown frustrated with how unaffec-tionate he is. Getting him to express his love feels like try-ing to wring juice from a dried-out lemon. And he’s never introduced me to his family or friends, except for one old f r i e n d . M e a n -w h i l e , he’s met my family and a lot of my friends. E v e r y holiday, he leaves to spend time with his family b u t d o e s n’ t invite me to come with him. Sometimes, I’ve wondered if he’s even re-ally visiting his family.

One day, out of the blue, I re-ceived a Facebook message from a girl. She told me that she and my boyfriend had been talking. She showed me all the dirty messages and photos he’d sent her. I couldn’t believe it. I was just heartbroken.

That night, I drove to his apartment to get back my house key and left him his things. He confessed that he was talking to another girl but said he has a masturbation ad-diction; he didn’t feel an emo-tional connection with her. He also insisted that he’s never actually been with her sexually.

I was devastated. I thought of just leaving and starting a new relationship. I even down-loaded some dating apps. But I really didn’t want to give up on the relationship and have tried to stick it out.

It’s been hard getting past the cheating. He said that I make him feel bad by bringing up the incident so often. So, for now, we agreed to take space. I still love him so much. And still he keeps calling and texting me. I blocked his number, but I still check the blocked calls folder to see if he’s reached out.

I’m just so sad; it’s hard to focus on anything. How to move on when I pictured my life with this man? I really want to settle down, and when I did download dating apps, I noticed that the guys on there only seemed to care about one thing, and it wasn’t long-term commitment. — Heart in Shambles

Dear Heart: End it now, and end it for good. I was ready to tell you that even before I got to the part about his cheating; there’s just no good excuse for someone not introducing you to their friends and family after three years. Blocking his number was smart. Now, keep it blocked. Heck, change your number if you need to. Stay busy with friends and hobbies. You can even try dating apps or websites again, just be selec-tive: Some platforms, like Match.com, Hinge or Bumble, have better reputations than others. You will miss him for a time, but once you get over the hump, you’ll be so glad you dumped the chump.

Dear Annie: This is in re-sponse to “Stumped Step,” who wondered if she could still con-sider her stepdaughter a daughter after her husband dies.

My late husband died 16 years ago, and I enjoy a loving, close relationship with his family to this day. I am honestly closer to my sisters-in-law than my biological sisters. It is truly one of the greatest blessings in our lives! Love wins! — Grate-ful Step

Dear Grateful: Beautifully said. I received several letters similar to yours, including the following.

Dear Annie: I, too, am a step-mother and a widow, and with-out question, I say “Stumped Step” should continue to ad-dress her stepdaughter as such. Annie, you were right in saying that they’ll need each other more than ever. Keep and cherish that bond. I know firsthand how gratifying it is. Our family ties are stronger than ever. — Joan C.

Dear Joan: Your letter touched my heart. Thanks for sharing.

*******SCAM ALERT*******

How to Avoid a Fake Check Scam

• INSIST ON CASH

• Don’t accept a check for more than the selling price. You can bet it’s a scam.

• Inform the Buyer that you’ll wait two weeks before sending any merchandise.

• Never use money from a check to send gift cards, money orders, or wire money to strangers or someone you just met. Many scammers demand that you send money through money transfer services like Western Union or MoneyGram, or buy gift cards and send them the PIN numbers. Once you wire money, or give someone the gift card PINs, it is likegiving someone cash. It’s almost impossible to get it back.

• Toss offers that ask you to pay for a prize. If it’s free, you shouldn’t have to pay to get it.

Did You Know . . . In European middle ages when pawnbroking was

established and founded, came our modern day Pawn Shops.

As everyone knows during the Middle Age in Europe they had

another name known as the Dark Ages. When the financial

uncertainty and economic depressions had spread around the

land. At the time the primary money lenders were two families,

the Medicis of Florence and the Lombard family from England.

Lombard’s family had many pawnshops during that time, and

they were the first registered money lenders in England. The

worldwide symbol of the pawn brokers is the three balls that

were adapted from the Medicis Family of Florence’s crest.Pawnbrokers comply with all federal, state and local

regulations and laws. In most jurisdictions, they provide local law enforcement with data on all transactions on a daily basis.

There are more than 50 million honest hard working Americans who don’t have bank accounts or credit cards. Those people only get loans and money from their local pawn

shop. With help from pawnbrokers, many people can pay for their electricity, rent, and gas for their cars.

One of the LARGEST displayed selection of jewelry in the area! • Tools
