WTC enrollment steady

Buster thompsonStaff writer

Scents of nail polish remover and shampoo grew stronger as busy hands learned their way through a manicure or hairdo.

It was bustling at the Withlacoochee Technical Col-lege’s Cosmetology Program, where students are groomed for 1,200 hours to be graduating stylists.

To the surprise of school leaders at the vocational campus in Inverness, course enrollment didn’t waver because of COVID-19’s impacts to the professions of beauty and hair salons.

“People are really trying to get into the trades,” Cos-metology Instructor Keri Mintz said Friday, Aug. 28, 2020, a little over three weeks after WTC began its fall semester on Aug. 10.

With stricter health and cleaning protocols in place, the technical college welcomed back between 275 and 300 students to pursue their respective career certifica-tions, WTC Director Gloria Bishop said.

Bishop said WTC didn’t have to forego any of its 20 pro-grams because of the coronavirus, but some courses are having to adapt to keep their student rosters strong.

Havana House Cafe victim of pandemicmichael D. Bates

Staff writer

The owners of Havana House Cafe in Lecanto have closed the doors because they were unable to stay afloat with the economic shut-down caused from the pandemic.

The restaurant, at 1209 County Road 491, just south of the State Road 44 intersection, touted a Taste of the Tropics and the menu was dotted with entrees from the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and Cuba.

But this sign on the restaurant door greeted people this

weekend: “We regret to inform all of our amazing customers that we are closed permanently due to the severe economic impact COVID-19 has had on our business. It is with a heavy heart we had to make this decision, we love you and thank you for 3 amazing years! Stay safe and God bless!”

Sisters Tamarah Lezama and Nicole Bogel acquired the restau-rant in 2018.

Lezama said she tried to make a go of it, even obtaining federal as-sistance money, but the overhead, higher meat prices and lack of

COVID-19 testing site closing for Labor DayThe Florida Department of Health

As a reminder, testing is offered weekdays at no cost to adults and children over 12, with or without symptoms; however, it is limited to the first 150 individuals daily or until 10 a.m.

Registration starts at 7:30 a.m. Bring a photo ID and plan to stay in your vehicle the entire time. There are no bathrooms available on site.

Parents and guardians with chil-dren under 12 are encouraged to contact their pediatricians regarding COVID-19 testing. All Citrus County pediatricians have the capability to test for COVID-19.

Antibody tests are not available at DOH-Citrus at this time.

Test results are not immediate. It generally takes approximately 7 to 10 days to receive laboratory re-sults. The health department will call you with your results regardless if the result is negative or positive. In the meantime, persons who were ill at the time they took the test should self-isolate until the diagnosis is known.

An Inverness woman did not survive a two-vehicle collision Thursday at an intersection in southern Citrus County.

A Hernando County couple was also injured in the 2:44 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 3, 2020, crash at

County Road 491 and C.R. 480, according to a Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) report.

Due to Marsy’s Law, FHP does not release the names of those involved in a fatal crash.

According to the highway pa-trol report, the local 61-year-old woman was driving a sedan east on C.R. 480, or West Oak Park

Boulevard, approaching the crossing with C.R. 491.

At the same time, an 83-year-old man and his passenger, a 79-year-old woman, both of Spring Hill, were traveling north on C.R. 491 in a sedan.

From the stop sign of West Oak Park Boulevard, the Inverness woman entered the intersection

and into the path of the oncom-ing couple, causing a collision.

According to the FHP report, the crash moved both vehicles to the northeast and into a ditch, where the Inverness woman’s vehicle also struck a tree.

After she was transported to hospital, the woman died from her injuries.

FHP’s report states the man driving the other vehicle was se-riously injured while his pas-senger suffered minor injuries.

Each motorist involved wore a seatbelt, according to the high-way patrol.

Many of Duke Energy’s 47,500 Citrus County cus-tomers will see lower elec-tric bills starting January 2021 because the company experienced lower- than-expected storm cost recovery and fuel charges.

Duke estimates residen-tial bills could be reduced by $3.63 a month (2.8%) based on 1,000 kilowatts-per-hour usage.

However, that decrease could be offset because Duke plans to adjust rates to include investments in two solar plants that come online in 2021. Those plants are located in Ham-ilton and Columbia counties.

Duke said commercial and industrial customers will see bill impacts rang-ing from a 6.6% decrease to a 1.1% increase.

The company plans to make grid improvements expected to improve “reli-ability, security and resil-ience” in 2021 and beyond, according to a company press release.

Duke also acknowl-edged in a press release its commitment to help customers struggling fi-nancially during the pandemic.

“While our customers’ bills are decreasing, we know some of them con-tinue to face financial hardships,” Catherine Stempien, Duke Energy Florida state president, said in a statement. “We’re providing enhanced care and expanded assistance for those impacted by the pandemic.”

Customers can down-load the company’s mobile app or visit duke-energy.com for more information. They can also call 800-700-8744.

Customer service spe-cialists are available from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m Monday through Friday to assist customers with custom-ized payment plans that meet their specific situa-tions, Duke said.

COVID-19 has undoubt-edly disrupted routines and put healthy lifestyle choices to the test in 2020. Fortunately for Citrus County residents and visi-tors, the Florida Depart-ment of Health in Citrus County’s (DOH-Citrus) an-nual no-cost “Save a Heart 5K” event will con-tinue, although virtually, this year.

Registration for the

virtual event is open and runs through Monday, Sept. 14. To register for the event online, and for information, visit https://tinyurl.com/y4o6ztgf.

Each year, DOH-Citrus hosts the no-cost event to spotlight World Heart Day (Sept. 29), an observance held to raise awareness of the benefits of physical ac-tivity, maintaining a healthy weight and making good lifestyle choices as the best ways to prevent

heart disease and stroke. This year’s virtual event aims to be no different.

“While we are disap-pointed our 5K won’t take on its familiar form due to the pandemic, we are ex-cited to continue our tra-dition through a virtual platform,” said Carmen Hernandez, DOH-Citrus Community Health Pro-gram Administrator. “With current COVID-19 social distancing recommenda-tions, we feel this method

is the safest way for our community to get outside and get active with their families and friends.”

Participants can upload their distance, times and activities on the event website beginning Friday, Sept. 18, through Sunday, Oct. 4. Individuals can participate at their own pace, time and location, either separately or within teams, as they track their preferred mea-sure through different

activities, such as walking, running, cycling, swim-ming, paddle/rowing, yoga, kickboxing, tai-chi, among others.

Participants who regis-ter will receive a com-memorative 5K T-shirt while supplies last. Visit the event website for in-formation about T-shirt pickup times and locations.

TALLAHASSEE — Florida’s prison system reached a grim milestone this week, as state cor-rections officials reported that more than 100 inmates have died of complications related to COVID-19.

As of Friday, 107 inmates and at least three corrections workers had died of COVID-19, the respi-ratory disease caused by the coronavirus, according to a De-partment of Corrections report.

The prisoner death toll has more than doubled since Aug. 3, when officials reported 53 COVID-19 inmate deaths.

The highly contagious coronavi-rus spreading throughout Florida has resulted in major outbreaks at state correctional facilities.

More than 1,000 inmates at two state prisons — Lowell Correc-tional Institution in Ocala and Columbia Correctional Institu-tion in Lake City — have tested positive for COVID-19, according to state reports. Other institu-tions have reported hundreds of

prisoner coronavirus cases, and the total number of inmates who have tested positive statewide ex-ceeds 15,600.

More than 12,000 prisoners have been cleared from what the Department of Corrections calls “medical isolation,” where they were placed after testing positive for the coronavirus or showing symptoms of COVID-19.

At least 16 South Florida Re-ception Center inmates have died of COVID-19, the Florida Department of Health reported earlier this week. The Doral

facility has 204 inmates and 147 prison workers who have tested positive for the virus, according to corrections officials.

Statewide, 2,698 prison em-ployees have tested positive, and corrections workers increasingly have become anxious as the num-ber of cases among staff and pris-oners continues to increase.

“This ain’t easy for them. It’s stressing them out,” Jim Baiardi, who leads the state corrections chapter of the Florida Police Be-nevolent Association, told The News Service of Florida Friday.

State’s inmate death toll from COVID-19 tops 100

EntErtainmEntFrom Venice, a plea to reopen movie theaters

shut by virusVENICE — Spanish director

Pedro Almodovar has joined a chorus of voices at the Venice Film Festival urging the reopening of movie theaters and a return to cinema normality after coronavi-rus lockdowns, saying films are meant to be seen on the big screen, not at home.

Directors and actors alike have rejoiced at the return to the red carpet on the Lido and theater screenings — albeit in a modified way — after the pandemic shut-tered cinemas and put film sets on hold around the globe.

“Even just getting ready for today was quite surreal and there was a sense of normality,” gushed French actress Stacy Martin as she pre-sented the in-competition film “Lov-ers” by director Nicole Garcia.

Venice organizers have prided themselves on pushing ahead with the in-person festival despite the cumbersome and costly anti-virus restrictions that include protective masks during all screenings, theaters at a half or one-third capacity and rigorous temperature checks and sanitiza-tion. They went ahead with the first major COVID-era film festival convinced they needed to chart a path forward for a film industry hard-hit by the lockdowns.

Almodovar, who premiered his short film “The Human Voice” on Thursday, said streaming plat-forms had played an “essential role” in keeping people enter-tained during months of virus-re-quired confinement at home.

But he said they had also con-tributed to the “dangerous” phe-nomenon of people growing increasingly comfortable living, working and eating at home — a type of “imprisonment” that he

said must be resisted.“And the antidote is the cinema,”

he said, describing going out, sitting next to strangers in a movie theater where “you find yourself crying or rejoicing with other people.”

“If I put my film on a platform like Netflix, then I somehow lose that contact and that meeting point with the spectator,” he said. “So you have to tell people to go to the cin-ema, to go to the theaters, because some things will only be discovered on the big screen, in the dark with people that we do not know.”

That said, it won’t be the same.Daniele Luchetti’s family drama

“Ties” received a sustained round of applause when it opened the festival on Wednesday night. But the Italian director said Thursday there was something off: Social dis-tancing rules for the theater made viewers feel like they were in a “vacuum bubble” and dispersed the sound of the clapping at the end.

“I know very well how an audi-ence reacts to a movie, both when they like and when they

don’t like it,” Luchetti told The As-sociated Press after his film pre-miered. “This time the atmosphere was very unusual. Just the fact of not having a per-son on your side: I couldn’t turn and see a crowd of people either laughing or watching carefully.”

Tilda Swinton, who stars in Almodovar’s short and received a Golden Lion Lifetime Achieve-ment award, made the same point from the stage of the Lido’s main theater, saying she was overwhelmed seeing the eyes and ears of the audience (though not their mouths because they were all covered in masks.)

“When I ask myself how I might adequately express my gratitude for this honor, words fail me,” she said. “But I think I can tell you something of what it means to be here with you to-night: What it means to be in a room with living creatures at a big screen. What it means to be about to see a film, in Venice.

“Pure joy,” she said.— From wire reports

MIAMI — South Flori-da’s coronavirus caseload continues to decline, but Miami-Dade County’s mayor says people should not let their guard down. He’s deploying more po-lice officers and code en-forcement personnel to make sure people wear face masks and respect so-cial distancing guidelines over the long Labor Day weekend.

“We don’t want a repeat of Memorial Day,” Mayor Carlos Gimenez said during an online news conference on Friday. “People got complacent and there were parties, big gatherings, and people weren’t following the rules of wearing masks and so-cial distancing so infec-tions spiked and hospitals were packed.”

The travel planning app TripIt reported that Labor Day bookings for flights and hotels had increased for many Florida destina-tions, including Orlando, Tampa and Fort

Lauderdale.Florida also reported

103 new deaths from COVID-19 on Friday, rais-ing its total to 11,903. That brings Florida’s average daily reported death rate over the past week to about 115 — a slight uptick from earlier this week but down from highs of 185 in the first week of August. The state recorded 3,198 new positive cases on Friday.

Patients being treated in Florida hospitals for COVID-19 numbered 3,348 late Friday morning, continuing a downward trend since highs above 9,500 in late July.

The positivity rate for Miami-Dade County is now at about 7%. Gimenez thanked people who are following the rules for re-ducing infection rates, but warned that “everyone has to keep doing their part.”

The mayor of Broward County, home to Fort Lau-derdale, also held a press conference Friday to talk about Labor Day celebra-tions and encouraged peo-ple to call code enforcement officers if

they see businesses or people not following the rules.

“Please stay safe, wear facial covering, socially distance and we’ll get to the place where we can fully open our economy,” said Mayor Dale Holness.

Tourism officials in St. Petersburg and Clearwa-ter also rolled out a nearly $2 million communica-tions campaign called “Rise to Shine” that urges visitors to follow the rules,

with such slogans as “Spread out, Mask Up,” and “Spread Love, not Germs.”

Also on Friday, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed an execu-tive order allowing Palm Beach County to move into the next phase of reopen-ing businesses and loosen-ing restrictions that have been in place since the coronavirus pandemic began. It means bowling alleys and movie theaters can reopen at 50%

capacity and gyms and re-tail stores reopen at full capacity.

That leaves only Bro-ward and Miami-Dade counties — the state’s most populous areas — in Phase 1. None of Florida’s beaches are closed.

The governor also an-nounced that Florida’s secretary of health care administration, Mary May-hew, who has helped guide state policy throughout the pandemic, is leaving to

become CEO for the Flor-ida Hospital Association. Her last day is Oct. 2.

Her administration over-sees the daily tabulation of positive cases, deaths and hospitalizations.

“From spearheading my administration’s efforts to allow for the importation of safe and affordable pre-scription drugs from Can-ada, to navigating our top priority during the COVID-19 pandemic to protect the most vulnera-ble, Secretary Mayhew has served Floridians well and we wish her all the best on her new endeavor,” DeSantis said in a statement.

The governor has pushed for students to re-turn to brick and mortar schools and resume nor-mal activities. He planned to attend a Friday night high school football game between the Santa Fe Raiders and the Suwan-nee Bulldogs in Live Oak.

Weekly roundup: Have a cold one with that Hot Pocket

dara KamThe News Service of Florida

TALLAHASSEE — Folks are bellying up to the bar as taverns throughout the state are getting libations flowing again through a process some industry insiders are branding a gimmick.

Bar, pub and tavern owners are selling hot dogs, cold sandwiches and Hot Pock-ets so they can reopen under an ap-proach authorized by Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Crafty publicans are adding simple fare to suds and shots after getting li-censed to sell prepared food, but critics scoff at the state’s approach.

“I didn’t do anything different but put a damn Crock-Pot on my bar,” Becky Glerum, the owner of Paddy Wagon Irish Pub in Plant City, told The News Service of Florida a day after she reopened her business this week.

Glerum’s patrons can purchase hot dogs heated in the slow cooker she bought for $13.99, she said.

Meeting with bar and craft brewery op-erators in St. Petersburg on Thursday, Department of Business and Profes-sional Regulation Secretary Halsey Beshears and DeSantis encouraged bar owners to be patient. The governor said the state will “get to yes” on reopening.

“I know it’s been difficult, and I just want to let you know that these are not things that we take lightly,” DeSantis said. “It stinks, and like I’m not happy for how everything’s gone. But I think the best thing we can do is just get it right and move forward. And let’s get the state thriving again.”

FIRING UP THE CROCK-POTBeshears is allowing bars to reopen

with limited capacity if they have food licenses, prompting proprietors to install triple sinks, sign up for food-handling training and plop Crock-Pots and micro-waves on their counters in an effort to get the drinks flowing.

The owners’ flurry of activity comes after months of sitting on the sidelines, following the governor’s statewide shut-tering of drinking establishments on St. Patrick’s Day in March.

The state briefly lifted the coronavi-rus-caused closures in early June but slapped on another shutdown after rev-elers packed into bars, ignored social distancing requirements and defied re-quirements that customers remain seated.

But Beshears left open the option to reopen for bar owners who also have food-service licenses and lifted require-ments that a certain portion of total sales come from meals.

Critics of the state’s approach say it’s inane.

“It kind of is ridiculous because the way they’re trying to draw the distinction is, there’s a distinction of selling food versus not selling food,” former Depart-ment of Business and Professional Regu-lation General Counsel Will Spicola, who also served as director of the agency’s Division of Alcoholic Beverages and To-bacco, said in a telephone interview.

Under intense pressure from bar own-ers for a reopening date, Beshears has said they should plan to remain walled off until the end of the year.

Jamie and Sean Dunnigan sunk their life savings into Ollie’s Pub, a small Cape Coral music venue they launched in October.

Jamie Dunnigan, a respiratory thera-pist, reached out to Beshears several times in August via email, pleading with him for help.

The couple wasn’t eligible for any coronavirus-related financial aid be-cause their 48-person-capacity establish-ment is so new.

After getting nowhere, Jamie Dun-nigan resorted to sarcasm in an Aug. 24 message to the secretary.

“Can you write to my landlord and ask him to be patient and tell him we’re all in this together? The electric company as well. I’m sure they’ll have no problem with that if it comes from you,” she wrote, demanding

an answer about a reopening date.“Thank you AGAIN for reaching out.

Your constant emailing is not helping nor changing the situation,” Beshears re-sponded the next morning.

Beshears said he doesn’t have “an ac-curate timeline” for reopening, but they should plan to remain shuttered until Jan. 1.

Beshears encouraged the Dunnigans to consider the food service option as a measure to provide a temporary revenue stream.

The secretary also expressed empathy for the bar owners’ plight, saying he is “genuinely sorry” for the financial hard-ships the Dunnigans and all small busi-nesses are facing.

“It hurts my heart to no end. I do hope you make it through in the end, and can assure you that if you do, it will be be-cause of your hard work, persistence and will; not because of government assis-tance or financial aid,” he wrote.

GETTING TO YES, PART TWOBar owners aren’t the only ones itching

to return to some semblance of normalcy.

Families of nursing home residents notched a win this week after DeSantis said he will allow visitors into long-term care facilities, nearly six months after the state blocked visitation during the first wave of coronavirus infections.

An emergency order issued Wednes-day lifted the ban on visitors, while also allowing “essential” caregivers to have close access to residents of nursing homes and assisted living facilities.

But two elder-care advocacy groups criticized the move to reopen facilities, asking why it is coming now and ques-tioning a decision not to mandate that visitors be tested before entering facilities.

Agency for Health Care Administra-tion Secretary Mary Mayhew, who headed a DeSantis-appointed task force that came up with recommendations for reopening facilities, said long-term care providers will need to have written poli-cies in place before the doors swing open to allow “essential,” “compassionate” and “general” visitation to resume.

Mayhew, whose agency licenses most of the state’s long-term care facilities, said providers will be “moving with a sense of urgency” to get the policies in place.

SHAKE-UP AFTER ‘SETBACKS’DeSantis tapped Rep. Dane Eagle, the

outgoing House majority leader who lost a bid for Congress last month, to head the Department of Economic Opportunity, which runs the state’s troubled unem-ployment system.

Wednesday’s appointment of Eagle, a Cape Coral Republican and commercial real-estate broker, as executive director of the agency came two days after Ken Lawson announced his resignation from the post.

Eagle will take over a department that has nearly 1,500 workers, a $1.2 billion budget and houses about 80 statewide programs and initiatives. But it has be-come a lightning rod since March, as the CONNECT online unemployment system became overwhelmed with jobless claims due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“The department has suffered some setbacks, but I have no doubt that Dane is up to the task,” DeSantis said in a pre-pared statement. “He is personable, en-joys broad bipartisan support, and I look forward to the many successes to come.”

STORY OF THE WEEKGov. Ron DeSantis announced that

nursing homes and other long-term care facilities will be allowed to reopen to vis-itors, after being on lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK“It absolutely is a gimmick. There’s no

doubt about that. There’s no differentia-tion in the way that they’re operating. It’s simply a way for the Department of Busi-ness and Professional Regulation and the governor to look like they’re doing something, which seems to be more im-portant to them than actually doing something.”— Attorney Jacob Weil, who represents bar owners in a lawsuit chal-lenging the DeSantis administration’s closure of bars amid the pandemic.

Warriors fall in season openerSeven Rivers Christian

struggled getting out of the gate for the 2020 season, dropping its opener on Fri-day, Sept, 4, 2020, at Trin-ity Christian Academy in Deltona, 14-2.

The Warriors were lim-ited to a safety recorded on a tackle by Ian Richardson. Nehemiah Vann went 15 of 26 passing for 173 yards, and C.J. Phillips had 71 re-ceiving yards.

“The guys played well. We made mistakes. We beat ourselves,” Seven Riv-ers head coach Monty Vann said. “Just mistakes made on the defensive side. Offensively we moved the ball well in the first half, but we came to a halt. We could not punch it in.”

Next Friday the Warriors travel to Central Florida Christian Academy in Ocoee.

Furious stage kick-starts

Tour de FranceLAVAUR, France — The

most thrilling day of racing so far at the Tour de France produced multiple winners Friday, kick-starting the race that had been some-thing of a slow-burner and setting the stage for more hard riding this weekend in the high mountains of the Pyrenees.

Wout Van Aert took the Stage 7 victory. It was the re-surgent Belgian rider’s sec-ond win at this year’s race.

Defending champion Egan Bernal and other top contenders for the overall title dealt a blow to principal rivals by leaving them behind in crosswinds on the speedy approach to the finish.

Three-time world cham-pion Peter Sagan got back the green jersey awarded to riders who collect the most points in sprints, after his team caused havoc on the road by riding furiously from the start.

And British rider Adam Yates negotiated the stage’s multiple traps to keep the overall race lead-er’s yellow jersey.

SPORTS BRIEFSIt’s a Derby unlike any other

Tiz the Law is a big favorite

Beth harris AP racing writer

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Forget the mint juleps in souvenir glasses, men in seersucker suits and women wearing hats ex-ploding in a floral frenzy. The Kentucky Derby still has horses — Tiz the Law is the biggest favorite in 31 years — but just about everything else makes the 146th edition unlike any other.

“It’s going to be weird,” said five-time Derby- winning trainer Bob Baffert.

None of the cheering — or cursing after losing wa-gers — from 150,000 fans will be heard this year at Churchill Downs, where America’s longest continu-ously held sports event will go on Saturday, four months later than usual. The track initially planned to allow 23,000 fans to attend until escalating positivity rates for COVID-19 in Louisville dictated otherwise.

“Quietude can’t hurt,” said Barclay Tagg, trainer of 3-5 favorite Tiz the Law. “We’ve had quiet for al-most all his races this year.”

Of course, silence changes the very nature of the Derby, known for a mix of the raucous and

refined, the freakish and fashionable.

Gone will be the parade of celebrities on the red carpet, the who’s who of sports, politics and enter-tainment crowding Mil-lionaires Row, the national anthem sung by a big name. The University of Louisville marching band won’t strike up “My Old Kentucky Home” while the crowd sings along as the horses step onto the track, and the traditional call of “Riders up!” won’t be shouted by a bold-faced name standing in the paddock.

Tiz the Law has already won the Belmont Stakes, the kickoff to the Triple Crown that was run in June

at a shorter distance. A vic-tory in the Derby would set him up for a Triple try in the Preakness on Oct. 3.

Also in his favor is that he’s already proved he can handle the Derby distance of 1 1/4 miles, often the biggest question for any 3-year-old colt. Tiz the Law won the Travers by 5 1/2 lengths over the same distance at Saratoga a month ago.

“He’s checked all those boxes, and I believe he very well could win the Triple Crown this year,” said Jerry Bailey, the re-tired Hall of Fame jockey and NBC Sports analyst.

Tiz the Law has won six of seven career starts — his only loss came at

Churchill Downs last year — by staying close to the pace and making one big run at the top of the stretch.

“I’d like for us to be lay-ing third all the way around until we get down for business,” Tagg said. “You think he’s gotten in trouble here, in trouble there and next thing you know he’s in front. He’s a pretty amazing horse.”

Mark Casse, trainer of Enforceable, isn’t ready to hand Tiz the Law the roses. “He still has to have a clean trip,” he said.

The field has been re-duced to 16 horses, small-est since 2003 when Funny Cide won. That gelding was owned by Sackatoga

Stable, which owns Tiz the Law. Managing partner Jack Knowlton and his co-owners will ride yellow school buses to the track, just as Sackatoga did 17 years ago.

Honor A. P. is the 5-1 sec-ond choice. His trainer is John Shirreffs and the jockey is Mike Smith, who teamed to win the 2005 Derby with 50-1 shot Giacomo.

“The odds don’t guaran-tee anything,” Shirreffs said. “We just have to see how the race is run.”

Authentic is the third choice at 8-1. He’s trained by Baffert, who also sad-dles 15-1 shot Thousand Words. A victory by either colt would tie the white-haired trainer with Ben Jones for the most Derby victories with six.

After Tiz the Law, Honor A. P. and Authentic, the other 13 horses are listed at double-digit odds. Chur-chill Downs is using a new 20-horse starting gate es-pecially for the Derby, al-though posts 1, 18, 19 and 20 will be left vacant after King Guillermo and Finn-ick the Fierce were scratched.

Saturday’s forecast calls for partly sunny skies and a high of 82 degrees to go with humidity — quite a contrast to the cool and rainy weather when the race is usually run in late spring.

Post time is 7:01 p.m. EDT.

Rahm shoots round of 65, catches up to JohnsonAssociated Press

ATLANTA — Five days later, Dustin Johnson and Jon Rahm are still going at it. They dressed about the same Friday in the Tour Championship, matched birdies on five holes and wound up tied for the lead at East Lake.

That required Rahm getting the better of John-son again.

Rahm, whose 65-foot birdie putt beat Johnson in a playoff at Olympia Fields last week, had a 5-under 65 that allowed him to make up the two-shot deficit at the start of the round that was awarded Johnson as the No. 1 seed in the FedEx Cup.

Johnson did his part with a 67, losing a three-shot edge early with

back-to-back bogeys to end the front nine, and then missing a birdie putt from just over 4 feet on the final hole that would have given him the lead.

“The only birdie we didn’t share was mine on 16. Besides that, we bird-ied every single hole to-gether, which is kind of unique, right?” Rahm said.

They were at 13-under par based on their starting positions in the FedEx Cup finale.

It was the second straight year under this format the FedEx Cup leader, who starts at 10 under with a two-shot lead, ended the opening round in a tie for the lead.

“Technically, it is a con-tinuation,” Rahm said. “I kind of stole that tourna-ment last week from him

and he started with a two-shot lead. So hopefully, I can steal this one, as well.”

Justin Thomas was in the top spot a year ago and opened with a 70. He said later it felt awkward to start the tournament with a two-shot lead before hit-ting a shot. This year, he began at 7 under and shot a 66 to end the day two shots behind.

“I learned I would have rather been at 10 under than 7,” he said. “That being said, I feel like I’m in a good frame of mind. I’m in a good place men-tally right now where I would like to feel like I would handle the golf course the same no matter what I was at. But I did a good job of just staying in my game today.”

The biggest move be-longed to the player who

might have had the least expectations. Rory McIl-roy left Chicago on Sunday and spent three days with his newborn daughter, Poppy, only arriving in At-lanta on Thursday.

He finished with three straight birdies, getting up-and-down from a bun-ker short of the green on the par-5 18th, for a 64. He started seven shots behind and finished the opening round only four back.

“Even though I’ve had success here, I was coming in with no expectations. I didn’t touch a club for four days in between tourna-ments,” McIlroy said. “I come in here and golf was sort of the furthest thing from my mind. And some-times that’s a good thing just to decompress and get away from it. Yeah, happy to have the start that

I did.”

Catlin takes 2-shot lead into weekend at Andalucía Masters

CADIZ, Spain — American golfer John Catlin will take a two-stroke lead into the week-end at the Andalucía Masters after being the only player in the field to have carded two under-par rounds at Valderrama.

Catlin started the day in a four-way tie for the lead and added a 1-under 70 to his opening round of 69 at the no-toriously tough 1997 Ryder Cup venue.

At 3 under overall, Catlin leads Connor Syme (72), who shared the 18-hole lead, 2014 Ryder Cup player Jamie Donaldson (69) and five-time European Tour winner Pablo Larrazábal (70).

Osaka passes test at US OpenTosses racket,

overcomes teenage opponent

howard Fendrich AP tennis writer

NEW YORK — Naomi Osaka spiked her racket after one er-rant forehand late in the sec-ond set at the U.S. Open, then flung it the length of the base-line after a missed backhand return ceded that tiebreaker.

Sometimes, that’s the sort of reaction it takes to right things for Osaka. And, perhaps sur-prisingly, she needed whatever push she could get in Friday’s third-round match.

Facing an opponent compet-ing in just her second major tour-nament, two-time Grand Slam champion Osaka eventually fig-ured out a way to turn a tight one into a runaway and beat 18-year-old Marta Kostyuk 6-3, 6-7 (4), 6-2 by claiming the final five games at Flushing Meadows.

“While I was playing, hon-estly, I was cursing myself out,” Osaka said during an on-court interview, “so you wouldn’t want to know what I was saying.”

After taking things out on her racket, Osaka sat with a white towel draped over head during a changeover.

“It’s what I do in times of ex-treme anger and frustration,” she said.

That’s impressive, to be sure,

but still a long way from what top-ranked Novak Djokovic has done in 2020. He is 26-0 this season — and his win-ning streak dating to late last year is now at 29 matches — after a 6-3, 6-3, 6-1 victory over No. 28 seed Jan-Lennard Struff on Friday night.

Another past U.S. Open champion moving into the fourth round Friday was 2016 titlist Angelique Kerber, who defeated 20-year-old

American Ann Li 6-3, 6-4. Ker-ber’s next opponent is another American, 28th-seeded Jenni-fer Brady, a 6-3, 6-3 winner against Caroline Garcia.

In the previous round, Gar-cia upset top-seeded Karolina Pliskova.

Next up for Osaka will be big hitter Anett Kontaveit, an Esto-nian seeded 14th. She had a much easier time in a 6-3, 6-2 win over No. 24 Magda Linette.

In the day’s last women’s match, two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova took on 63rd-ranked American Jes-sica Pegula.

Men reaching the fourth round included No. 5 Alexander Zverev, No. 7 David Goffin, No. 12 Denis Shapovalov — who won a five- setter over No. 19 Taylor Fritz — Jordan Thompson and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. No. 4 Ste-fanos Tsitsipas faced No. 27 Borna Coric at night.

Fleming wins againMark DiDtler

Associated Press

ST. PETERSBURG — Rookie left-hander Josh Fleming won his third con-secutive start, Michael Perez had a three-run double and the AL East-leading Tampa Bay Rays beat the Miami Marlins 5-4 on Friday night.

Yoshi Tsutsugo homered for the Rays, who have won 20 of 25. Tampa Bay has a nine-game winning streak against Miami.

The Marlins got homers from Corey Dickerson and Jesús Aguilar.

Fleming (3-0) allowed four runs and seven hits over five innings in joining Jake Faria (2017) and Jeremy Hellickson (2010) as the only Rays pitcher to win their first three major league starts.

Nick Anderson, the fourth Tampa Bay reliever, worked out of a two-on, no-out jam in the ninth to get his fourth save.

After Kevin Kiermaier drew a bases- loaded, two-out walk on a 3-2 pitch in the fourth from Pablo López (3-3), Perez put the Rays up 5-2 on his bases-clearing double.

Jon Berti got the Marlins within 5-4 on his two-run double in the fifth.

Dickerson homered in the third and Aguilar connected one inning later to make it 2-1.

Benefits of a sharp knifeWhen I was growing up, every

man carried a knife in his pocket. Heck, every kid car-

ried one also. Especially out in the country where they were an absolute necessity for innumerable chores. No single tool is reached for more often day to day out in farm country and few are probably given less thought, than the knife in a pocket. But, there was a distinct difference in the knives carried between the old-timers and us kids; the old-timers’ knives were sharp!

As an old-timer myself these days, I still carry a knife in my pocket, just as I did when I was a boy. I use it for more tasks than I can count; opening bales of hay, feed bags, trimming an occasional hoof, cutting vines or weeds, trimming the glue strip off of a newly plugged tire and on occasion that old knife in my pocket will be utilized to skin, quarter and otherwise process the game and fish headed toward my table.

I had the occasion to study on the benefits of a good knife, or at least, a sharp one recently. I was called upon to help a young couple clean a rather large alligator they had harvested and as I was reaching for my knife, I was handed a lovely piece of art knife to use for the task. The work of art was indeed a treasure to behold, but it was close to useless for cutting through the thick leather of an alliga-tor. I asked if they had ever sharpened it and I was told half-heartedly that they didn’t know how and that it had been sharp when it was first purchased.

I pulled out my old pocket knife and in turn loaned it to them (one at a time) and set them to purpose as I pointed out the necessary cuts to complete the job. Once the job was completed, it was time to do the right

thing, re-hone the edge of the blade and yes, I turned that into yet another les-son. I knew that some of the old ways just aren’t holding up. But, it hadn’t occurred to me that the use of a whetstone was one of them. Though there are different kinds of stones, using them is pretty much the same across the board. Once your stone is prepped, make sure your stone is secure on the counter (damp paper tow-

els work well) and facing the sharp edge of the knife away from you. Hold the blade at a proper angle (20-30 de-grees), then draw it down the stone in a circular motion as if trying to slice a layer off of the top of your whetstone. Repeat as necessary. But, how do you find the angle?

Place your knife edge down, as if to cut the stone in half, that puts your blade at 90 degrees. If you then tilt the blade halfway over to the stone’s sur-face, you’ll be roughly holding a 45-degree angle. Halfway down once again to the surface from that angle and you’ll be holding roughly 22 1/2 degrees and one fine position to begin honing your edge. After six or eight strokes, flip your knife and re-peat the process.

As always, if you have any com-ments or feedback, give me a shout at RebelYellOutdoors@Gmail.com. God bless and good hunting!

Stocks claw back some of their losses

in another rocky dayAlex VeigA And

dAmiAn J. TroiseAP business writers

The stock market closed out its worst week in more than two months Friday as a second straight day of turbulent trading ended with more losses.

The S&P 500 fell 0.8% after clawing most of the way back from a 3.1% skid earlier in the day. Another slide in tech-nology stocks, which led the selling a day earlier, pulled the market sharply lower for much of the day, though the selling eased by late afternoon.

The two-day sell-off handed the bench-mark index its first weekly loss after five weeks of gains. Earlier in the week, the S&P 500 was notching all-time highs and posting its biggest increases in nearly two months.

There wasn’t a particular catalyst for continued selling in the high-flying tech sector, but analysts noted that those stocks had posted gigantic gains so far this year that many thought were overdone.

“We had a fast and furious rally at the end of August and we’ve given it back,” said Barry Bannister, head of institu-tional equity strategy at Stifel. “Investors are like a herd of gazelle on the Seren-geti; it doesn’t take much to spook them. They’re alarmed and on the move.”

The selling followed a Labor Depart-ment report showing that U.S. hiring slowed to 1.4 million last month, the few-est jobs since the pandemic began, even as the nation’s unemployment rate

improved to 8.4% from 10.2%. The U.S. economy has recovered about half the 22 million jobs lost to the pandemic.

The S&P 500 fell 28.10 points to 3,426.96. The Dow Jones Industrial Aver-age lost 159.42 points, or 0.6%, to 28,133.31. The index had swung sharply during the day, between a loss of as much as 628 points and a gain of as much as 247.

The technology-heavy Nasdaq dropped 144.97 points, or 1.3%, to 11,313.13. The slide added to the index’s 5% skid from the day before.

The VIX, a gauge of how much volatil-ity investors expect in the market, has been rising. Even so, traders were not shifting funds into traditional safe-haven assets like U.S. government bonds and precious metals, a sign that the sell-off was not necessarily a reaction to jitters about the economy.

“A lot of people were piling into the (tech) trade and there are a lot of gains to be made,“ said Stephanie Roth, portfolio macro analyst at J.P. Morgan Private Bank. ”This is more an instance of prof-it-taking, rather than true panic.”

She noted it’s not unusual for traders to pocket recent gains ahead of a holiday weekend. U.S. markets will be closed Monday for Labor Day.

The 10-year Treasury yield rose to 0.72%, up from 0.62% late Thursday, a big move. The higher yields helped send fi-nancial stocks higher, since banks can lend money at higher rates once yields rise in the bond market. Capital One Fi-nancial rose 4.7%

customers proved too much.

“It just wasn’t enough,” Lezama said. “The cost of doing business, the rent, inspections every six months, general liability insurance, workers’ com-pensation — even up to garbage and utility bills. You’re looking at an over-head of $20,000 a month just to make it.”

That, she said, is impos-sible in this current pan-demic climate.

“(The restaurant) is just losing money,” she said.

Many patrons have lost jobs and are saving money and even those who have not been affected finan-cially are not going out to eat as much she said.

And given the 50% ca-pacity restriction, it’s just not working, she said.

Lezama said she and her sister had to lay off their four other employees and she feels bad about that. She also feels sad for her loyal customers who, she said, kept the restau-rant afloat as long as they were able.

The restaurant’s tropi-cal decor reflected that of the owners’ native home in St. Croix, Virgin Islands. Patrons had such tropical entree choices as ropa veija, plantains, chicken and yellow rice, lechon asado, empanadas and ox tails.

Commenters on the restaurant’s Facebook page expressed surprise and regret.

“Dang, that stinks,” said one person.

“Nooooooo!!!, said another.

Restaurants across the nation have closed, unable to survive the state- mandated shutdowns in the early weeks of the pan-demic and reduced

capacity. Many people are still wary of frequenting eateries.

“This is unfortunate but not surprising,” said Josh Wooten, chamber presi-dent CEO/president. “Most small businesses work on very small margins and have minimal reserves. When the government tells you to close or reduce your output by 50%, with-out any compensation, we will see more closures of establishments we all love and rely on.”

What’s next for Lezama?

There may be a new restaurant in the future or a different career path.

“I’m going to wait for the effects of the coronavirus (to go away) and see what happens and see how the election affects the econ-omy,” she said.

Zoom’s videoconferencing service has emerged as one of the economy’s brightest spots amid the pandemic’s pall.

So many companies have opted to subscribe to one of Zoom’s premium services during the past six months that the company’s forecast for its revenue during its current fiscal year has more than doubled from an early March projection of $910 million to nearly $2.4 billion.

The only question now is whether Zoom will prove to be a flash in the pan. One of the main risks facing the company is that an effective COVID-19 vaccine might

send people back to their offices, deflating demand for vast numbers of video meetings that sprang up amid pandemic lockdowns.

Investors are clearly betting the work-from-home phenomenon will stick around, potentially allowing Zoom to thrive by supplying live virtual meeting

rooms for employees who come into their offices less frequently, if at all.

That’s the main reason Zoom’s stock is up by sixfold so far this year, giving the San Jose, California, company a market value that’s recently hovered between $120 billion and $130 billion, up from $10 billion when it went public 17 months ago.

Don’t trust Postal Service with ballotsA couple of years ago, a

payment mailed for cable ser-vices was never received. Six months later the original check was returned to me from a post office in Atlanta, Georgia, nowhere near its destination.

Since my recent move al-most two years ago to a new address, I’ve had trouble get-ting my medications, though with the correct mailing ad-dress, my meds are being de-livered to Oak Leaf Villas — a different community, only the house numbers are the same. A kind and considerate neigh-bor brings me my meds every time. To her, I thank you.

My complaints to the post-master don’t seem to help.

Do you think I should trust the Postal Service with my ballot? I think not.

Trump undermining the election

Many swing states say are being notified by the postal service that they can’t meet deadlines delivering ballots. President Trump’s appointee is removing machines and drop off boxes.

Trump’s postal chief is pur-posely removing equipment and firing supervisors to slow down the mail. This is caus-ing problems all over the country during the pandemic. Veterans like myself aren’t getting medications in a nor-mal time frame.

The new head of the postal service, Louis DeJoy — a Trump donor — recently made several changes to the agency that could potentially disrupt mail for millions of Americans, particularly ab-sentee and mail-in ballots ahead of Election Day.

“Now, they need that money in order to make the post of-fice work, so it can take all of these millions and millions of ballots,” Trump said Thurs-day on Fox Business Net-work.”Now, if we don’t make a deal, that means they don’t get the money. That means they can’t have universal mail-in voting, they just can’t have it,” he added.

People should be very con-cerned about this matter.

Jack BurtInverness

Lay off the post office

President Trump’s post-master general, a Republican donor, is removing hundreds of sorting machines and drop-off boxes.

Montana bipartisan com-mission was able to stop Louis DeJoy from removing postal drop-off boxes. Presi-dent Trump keeps railing about mail-in voting because he’s afraid too many people will vote against him.

Both Republicans and Democrats vote by mail. How-ever, more Democrats vote by mail than Republicans. Trump want’s to rig the elec-tion, and actually said he doesn’t want to fund the post office because it will help Democrats. What kind of president is this? This is unA-merican! This is what they do

in dictatorships. The post office should be

supported and funded, not just for ballots, but for busi-nesses that are losing money because of delays; veterans and others could die by not getting their medications. This president will do any-thing possible in a pandemic and hurt people just so he can stay in power. This is not Russia, this is United States!

Due to not funding the post office and using Mr. DeJoy to remove equipment, 41 states have been notified that bal-lots may not be certified in time due to delays. Tell Trump to lay off the post of-fice. Everyone needs their ballot counted and their mail delivered on time.

Facts are important

We try not to politicize COVID-19, but the facts of this week only confirm it is the game plan of the White House for the election. First, Presi-dent Trump makes an an-nouncement that the use of plasma is a “game changer” in the treatment of the virus. The fact is it has been used for years with documented limited success. Yes, it may help some but not a game changer.

Next, Trump pressures the FDA to toot its success with fake numbers. When con-fronted with the truth, the FDA chief admits he was not accurate/truthful.

Then Trump pushes the head of the CDC to change its guidance on testing to the dis-agreement of most scientists and doctors.

In trying to defend the change and deny it was co-erced, Mark Meadows actu-ally said it was time the FDA and CDC “feels the heat.” While he was being honest, Meadows also admitted the president and his minions were OK in breaking the law, ie., Hatch Act, by using fed-eral buildings and resources for political events since no-body outside the Beltway cares.

Meadows should realize most Americans care about laws being broken. Maybe he should check with the couple in St. Louis about why they defended their home.

The president promised to

protect and take care of all U.S. citizens yet he has shifted money from disaster relief funds to cover unem-ployment claims instead of working with Congress to se-cure these funds. He is will-ing to cut Social Security and Medicare by discontinuing payroll taxes. That’s another campaign promise not kept that could affect millions of people.

It used to be Republicans stood for free trade, small government, and law and order. The first two are no longer talked about and if you listen to William Barr, who is suppose to be the top cop, not Trump’s personal lawyer, and Meadows, it is obvious they look at laws as a smorgasbord.

They pick and choose what serves they need, not what the Constitution laid out. I find it heartwarming though that the Supreme Court is constantly ruling against him and his policies.

People need to check their facts and sources and make up their own minds.

The one thing we should all consider is all the unrest, di-vision and failing economy are happening under and during Trump’s presidency. It could lead one to believe his policies are not as great as he claims.

Gov’t threatening members of the press

When I read this quote from our president’’s repre-sentatives this morning, it sent a chill up my spine. It was in response to questions about how the Trump Organi-zation has benefited from the lucrative business arrange-ments between the federal government and Trump Orga-nization since the president took office.

“The Washington Post is blatantly interfering with the business relationships of the Trump organization, and it must stop,” Deere wrote in a statement to the Post. “Please be advised that we are build-ing up a very large ‘dossier’ on the many false David Fahr-enthold and others stories as they are a disgrace to journal-ism and the American people.”

When I hear that the fed-eral government is compiling a dossier on a private citizen who has been critical of the administration, I immediately think of China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, Turkey, Saudi Arabia or Cuba I never thought I had to include the USA on that list.

Our system provides for civil remedies via the courts if there are indeed irregulari-ties in reporting that would violate libel laws.

It doesn’t include threaten-ing the members of the free press.

Last summer, The New York Times reported that al-lies of the White House had compiled dossiers on hun-dreds of people who work for top news organizations. This seems to confirm that reporting.

Please vote in November. Your freedoms depend on it.

LABOR DAY

Labor Day takes new

meaning amid pandemic

America’s economy moves forward like an exquisite ma-

chine, fueled by the hard work of millions of its cit-izens laboring for independence, family, fortune and the Ameri-can dream.

We take for granted some-times how effort-less our comforts can be through the collective dil-igence of society. But, we must reflect on the work and sacrifice of every being that contributes to our country, and has given to it through-out the spans of time.

On the first Monday in September, Americans take the day to contemplate the contributions and achieve-ments of American workers. Labor Day also marks the unofficial end of summer, and citizens celebrate with picnics, barbecues and fam-ily gatherings.

First created by the orga-nized labor movement in the late 1800s, in the middle of the Industrial Revolution, Labor Day as we know it grew from protests for better pay and better working con-ditions for the average American.

In New York City in 1882, the Central Labor Union or-ganized a parade in which more than 10,000 men and women marched through Manhattan. Participants car-ried signs for “Less work, more pay,” saying “To the workers should belong all wealth,” and “Labor built this republic, labor shall rule it.” Following the pa-rade, the marchers met up with their families at sur-rounding parks for picnics and social enjoyment.

In following years, the en-thusiasm for an annual Labor Day observance grew,

and President Grover Cleveland signed the bill for an official public holiday in 1894.

While it’s been well over 100 years since the first observance of Labor Day, many issues fought for at the time remain rele-vant — better pay,

time off for simple vacations (rest), parental and family care, and disparities in wealth among the classes and races of our country.

Many hard-working Ameri-cans still struggle to earn enough to cover the basic ne-cessities. Inflation has grown but wages have not. The American worker needs a raise. Those with stocks are making a killing. Those with-out stocks are lucky to afford socks.

This year, the average American employee has faced nearly insurmountable turmoil, from pandemic-in-duced job loss to furloughs to risking one’s health daily to make it through the work-day. It has surely been one for the books.

On Sept. 7, pause for a minute and raise a glass to those who make great things happen — from those who are working in health care on the frontlines of the pan-demic, to those to pour our morning cups of coffee with a smile. We salute you.

As Americans celebrate with their friends and fami-lies, we urge caution as the COVID-19 pandemic contin-ues; do not throw caution to the wind this Labor Day, but do laud those who work and work well.

THE ISSUE:Sept. 7 is Labor Day.

OUR OPINION:Give thanks and

appreciation to all who contribute to

American society..

Boat ramp access needs improvementHooray! Chronicle’s July 16

front-page story, “Citrus named top place to retire,” and letter to the editor, “Boat ramps at a bursting point.” Yes, as a 48-year resident of Citrus County, this is a great place to retire, with one caveat: Boat ramp ac-cess has gone from very good in 1972 to poor in 2020. I hope that the new BOCC will take some action to ensure boat ramp access is available to working families and the retir-ees. If a consultant needs to be hired, by all means do so. Even

though in the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s, the BOCC could not find a consultant that they did not like. New BOCC: The future is in your hands.

Lights deter burglars

I’m calling respond-ing to Sound Off about these vehicles that’s being broken into where they’re breaking into cars. All I can suggest to you is that criminals hate light. So if you have outdoor garage lights, put them on. Buy LED bulbs and make it as bright as

possible. It’s the best thing you can do besides locking your doors. But of course, if they use a Slim Jim, they could open

your door regardless. But the point is to just illuminate as much as you can because, like I said, they hate the light.

People don’t care about trash

This country’s going downhill fast. If I can give words to describe different parts, last year

would be “entitlement” and “me, me, me.” This year, 2020, it’s

definitely “I don’t care.” And “I don’t care” can show up from trash on the ground to higher up. I mean when I was a kid if I saw a piece of trash on the ground, if it was small enough to fit in my pocket, I’d put it in my pocket until I hit the garbage can. If it was too big, I would either ignore it or kick it aside in a pile. But these days when I pass trash, it’s truly a useless game to play to try and make something better. When you come back tomorrow, there’s going to be that and more trash on the ground. And it’s just, “I don’t care.” You know, “It’s not my yard, I don’t care. Those ar-en’t mine, I don’t care. I don’t

own it, I don’t care.” Every time you see the people on the street corners around here, they leave trash just because they don’t care and nobody cares to clean it up. I don’t care.

Where is the justice?

(Re the Wednesday, Aug. 5, Page A3 story): Where’s the jus-tice? I read where a man was ar-rested for discharging a firearm in Crystal River in front of RaceTrac, 250 feet from a crowd. A deputy gave chase and this guy has a bond of $2,000. Where is the jus-tice? This guy shouldn’t be al-lowed on the streets. This is crazy.

“We still have employers seeing all the programs we are supplying students for,” she said. “That has not slowed down.”

Bishop said students and staff have also been diligent in monitoring symptoms and keeping the contagious re-spiratory disease from trans-mitting on school grounds.

Unlike the PreK-12 schools, hallway traffic out-side a WTC class during their seven-hour day is lim-ited to when students arrive, go on breaks, eat lunch and when they leave school.

“They’re not changing classes every 45 minutes,” Bishop said.

There have been a few times where pupils had to stay home and notify their instructors because they may have been exposed to a COVID-19 case off campus, Bishop said.

“They don’t want to get their other people sick on campus because they don’t want to be the reason why campus has to shut down and continue over remote learning,” she said.

Like many other schools in Florida, WTC shuttered its campus in March 2020 when the coronavirus onset began.

Students in the midst of their program’s first semes-ter were forced to continue their education online.

“I give our instructors a lot of credit,” Bishop said about the teachers’ sudden move to internet schooling. “They knew what had to be done.”

In April, following direc-tives from state officials, WTC allowed class sizes of no more than 10 in their sec-ond semester to complete their performance tasks — in-class demonstrations

students must complete to be certified, Bishop said.

Kenneth Bailey, who had to end his spring semester in WTC’s Electricity Program virtually, was happy to re-turn for hands-on learning.

“Coming back was awe-some because a lot of the stuff online we can’t do,” said Bailey, who tinkered with outlets and wiring at his house over the summer to keep his skills honed.

Bishop said everyone on campus has to wear a face covering if they can’t be dis-tant from each other, which is impossible when students work together in the school’s many workshops.

A handful of classrooms had to be rearranged or moved to have additional space, Bishop said, and an overflow room for WTC’s caf-eteria was also created.

Cosmetology student Mandie Andrews said she’ll have to adapt to face

coverings since they’ll be probably be required wher-ever she works.

“You’re going to have to in order to make money,” she said while styling a class-mate’s nails.

Due to COVID-19’s impact on restaurant and cooking industries, WTC’s Culinary Program has seen a drop in enrollment, Bishop said.

Its instructor is working on ways to better advertise the course by partnering with the Citrus County Chamber of Commerce.

Another area WTC saw an enrollment hit was its adult education classes for GED students but it’s starting to grow, Bishop said.

Arranging nursing clini-cals with area hospitals and long-term care centers has also been challenging since the facilities are still on somewhat of a lockdown, Bishop said.

However, WTC has been

compromising with accredit-ing groups and licensing boards to fulfill certification requirements for courses to keep people entering the workforce.

“We’re making adjust-ments,” Bishop said, “and they’re letting us make adjustments.”

Thanks to its partnerships with state law enforcement and corrections depart-ments, the Public Safety Training Center at WTC is reporting higher enrollment, Bishop said.

Prospective nurses can also achieve their clinicals in WTC’s simulation lab — a recreated hospital ward full of high-tech mannequin pa-tients, including a prosthetic mother in labor.

“It would be better to have our nursing students in the hospital sites,” Bishop said, “but because of the risks and health concerns, they get the next best thing.”

Suspect in Portland protest

killing diesLACEY, Wash. — A man

who said he believed a civil war was coming to America and was suspected of killing a right-wing protester in Port-land, Oregon, died in a hail of police gunfire in neighbor-ing Washington state, offi-cials and witnesses said.

The killing of Michael For-est Reinoehl shook a quiet suburb of Olympia, Wash-ington Thursday evening, with bystanders ducking for cover behind automobiles from dozens of gunshots as four agents serving on a U.S. Marshals Service task force opened fire at Reinoehl.

Reinoehl, 48, was armed with a semi-automatic hand-gun but authorities have not determined if he fired any shots, said Lt. Ray Brady of the Thurston County Sher-iff’s Department.

US wildlife agency seeks areas

for protectionsBILLINGS, Mont. — A

Trump administration pro-posal released Friday would allow the government to deny habitat protections for endangered animals and plants in areas that would see greater economic bene-fits from being developed — a change critics said could open lands to more energy development and other activities.

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Ser-vice officials described the proposal as giving more def-erence to local governments when they want to build things like schools and hospitals.

But the proposal indicates that exemptions from habitat protections would be consid-ered for a much broader array of developments, in-cluding at the request of pri-vate companies that lease federal lands or have permits to use them. Government-is-sued leases and permits can allow energy development, grazing, recreation, logging and other commercial uses of public lands.

Blake’s father says paralyzed son optimistic

MADISON, Wis. — Jacob Blake’s father said Friday that his “happy-go-lucky” son is optimistic for his future, al-though he remains para-lyzed from the waist down after being shot seven times in the back by a Kenosha, Wisconsin, police officer.

A clearly exhausted Jacob Blake Sr., speaking by video chat from a Milwaukee hotel, told The Associated Press that the past two weeks have been “surreal” and “like a dream” and he’s mentally worn out. He said he’s been receiving death threats, which he said he couldn’t talk about in detail.

“It’s been hard on every-body,” Blake Sr., who drove from North Carolina to be with his hospitalized son, said.

Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old Black man, was shot Aug. 23, setting off days of protests that made Wiscon-sin the epicenter of the na-tion’s ongoing debate over police violence and racial in-justice. Over three days, dozens of fires were set and some Kenosha businesses destroyed. On Aug. 25, pros-ecutors say a 17-year-old from Illinois shot and killed two demonstrators. His attor-neys say the teenager, who was patrolling the streets with a rifle, was acting in self-defense.

Blake was released from intensive care this week and “is doing a little bit better,” his father said.

Still, “from the waist down, no movement,” Blake Sr. said. “He can’t move.”

Blake Sr. told the AP he talks with his son about what he’ll be able to do once he’s released from the hospital, rather than his limitations if he remains paralyzed.

“We’ll go fishing together in the chair,” he said. “I’ve got the perfect spot for us. Things of that nature, things that have nothing to do with the sickness or anything.”

Serbia, Kosovo normalize

economic tiesWASHINGTON — Presi-

dent Donald Trump an-nounced Friday that Serbia and Kosovo have agreed to normalize economic ties as part of U.S.-brokered talks that include Belgrade mov-ing its Israeli embassy to Je-rusalem, and mutual recognition between Israel and Kosovo.

After two days of meetings with Trump administration of-ficials, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and Koso-vo’s Prime Minister Avdullah Hoti agreed to cooperate on a range of economic fronts to attract investment and create jobs. The announce-ment provided Trump with a diplomatic win ahead of the November presidential elec-tion and furthers his adminis-tration’s push to improve Israel’s international standing.

“I’m pleased to announce a truly historic commitment,” Trump said in the Oval Of-fice, standing alongside the two leaders. “Serbia and Kosovo have each commit-ted to economic normalization.”

“After a violent and tragic history and years of failed negotiations, my administra-tion proposed a new way of bridging the divide. By focus-ing on job creation and eco-nomic growth, the two countries were able to reach a major breakthrough,” the president said.

Trump said Serbia has committed to open a com-mercial office in Jerusalem this month and move its em-bassy there in July.

Serbia’s decision to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem is a nod to both Israel and the United States. The Trump administration recognized Jerusalem as Is-rael’s capital in late 2017 and moved the U.S. em-bassy there in May 2018.

Survivor search grips a grieving

Beirut after blastBEIRUT — People

throughout Lebanon ob-served a moment of silence Friday to mark one month since the devastating Beirut explosion, while rescuers dug through the rubble of a build-ing destroyed in the blast, hoping to find a survivor.

The split-screen images reflected the pain and an-guish that persists one month after the Aug. 4 blast that killed 191 people, in-jured 6,000 others and trau-matized Lebanon, which already was suffering under a severe economic crisis and financial collapse.

The search operation in the historic Mar Mikhail district — on a street once filled with crowded bars and restaurants — has gripped the nation for the past 24 hours. The possi-bility, however unlikely, that a survivor could be found after one month gave hope to peo-ple who followed the live im-ages on television, wishing for a miracle.

The operation began Thursday after a dog used by the Chilean search-and-rescue team TOPOS de-tected something as it toured Gemmayzeh and Mar Mikhail streets and rushed toward the rubble. Rescue workers used cranes, shov-els and their bare hands in a meticulous search after a pulsing signal was detected.

Biden slams TrumpOver alleged comments

mocking deadZeke Miller and alexandra Jaffe

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Dem-ocratic presidential nomi-nee Joe Biden declared President Donald Trump “unfit” for the presidency on Friday, delivering an impassioned reaction to a report that Trump — who never served in uniform — allegedly mocked Ameri-can war dead.

The president and his allies have dismissed the report in The Atlantic as false.

The allegations, sourced anonymously, describe multiple offensive com-ments by the president to-ward fallen and captured U.S. service-members, in-cluding calling World War I dead at an American military cemetery in France as “losers” and “suckers” in 2018.

The reported comments, many of which were con-firmed independently by the AP, are shining a fresh light on Trump’s previous public disparagement of American troops and mili-tary families. That opens a new political vulnerability for the president less than two months from Election Day.

Voice cracking, Biden told reporters that “you know in your gut” Trump’s comments, if true, are “deplorable.”

“I’ve just never been as disappointed, in my whole

career, with a leader that I’ve worked with, presi-dent or otherwise,” Biden added. “If the article is true — and it appears to be, based on other things he’s said — it is absolutely damning. It is a disgrace.”

He added that “the pres-ident should humbly apol-ogize to every Gold Star mother and father, to every Blue Star family that he’s denigrated ... Who the heck does he think he is?”

Trump, in the Oval Of-fice said no apology was necessary, because it was a “fake story.”

Trump was alleged to have made the comments in Nov. 2018, as he was set to visit the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery during a trip to France. The White House said the visit was scrubbed be-cause foggy weather made the helicopter trip from Paris too risky and a

90-minute drive was deemed infeasible.

Speaking Friday in the Oval Office, Trump denied ever uttering such com-ments: “It was a terrible thing that somebody could say the kind of things — and especially to me cause I’ve done more for the mil-itary than almost anyone anybody else.”

Biden’s critique was personal. The former vice president often speaks about his pride for his late son Beau’s service in the Delaware Army National Guard. As he spoke, Biden grew angry, raising his voice to rebut Trump’s al-leged comments that Ma-rines who died in battle were “suckers” for getting killed.

“When my son was an assistant U.S. attorney and he volunteered to go to Kosovo when the war was going on, as a civilian, he

wasn’t a sucker,” Biden declared.

“When my son volun-teered to join the United States military as the at-torney general, he went to Iraq for a year, won the Bronze Star and other commendations, he wasn’t a sucker!”

Beau Biden died of can-cer in 2015.

Returning to Washing-ton from a Thursday visit to Pennsylvania, Trump told reporters that the At-lantic report was “a dis-graceful situation” by a “terrible magazine.”

“I would be willing to swear on anything that I never said that about our fallen heroes,” Trump told the reporters, gathered on the tarmac in the dark. “There is nobody that re-spects them more. No ani-mal — nobody — what animal would say such a thing?”

Unemployment rate falls to 8.4%Drop happens even

as hiring slowsChristopher rugaber

AP economics writer

WASHINGTON — U.S. unemploy-ment dropped sharply in August from 10.2% to a still-high 8.4%, with about half the 22 million jobs lost to the coronavirus outbreak recovered so far, the government said Friday in one of the last major economic re-ports before Election Day.

Employers added 1.4 million jobs last month, down from 1.7 million in July and the fewest since hiring re-sumed in May. And an increasingly large share of Americans reported that their jobs are gone for good, ac-cording to the Labor Department report.

Altogether, that was seen by econ-omists as evidence that further im-provement is going to be sluggish and uneven.

“The fact that employment is set-tling into a trend of slower, grinding growth is worrisome for the broader recovery,” said Lydia Boussour, an economist at Oxford Economics.

Still, President Donald Trump, who is seeking re-election in less than two months amid the worst economic downturn since the De-pression in the 1930s, exulted over the latest unemployment figure, say-ing, “That is many, many months ahead of schedule.”

Democratic nominee Joe Biden downplayed the report and said the viral outbreak is still weighing on the economy.

“Donald Trump may be the only president in modern history to leave office with fewer jobs than when he took office,” Biden said. The U.S. has 4.7 million fewer jobs now than when Trump was inaugurated, but if the monthly gains continue at the same pace as in August, those jobs would be recovered by January.

Friday’s figures were the next-to-last employment report before the presidential election Nov. 3. For many voters, the unemployment rate is the most visible measure of the economy.

Should unemployment keep drop-ping rapidly, it could near 7% by early November, said Michael Strain, an economist at the Ameri-can Enterprise Institute.

“That’s bad, it’s too high, many people will be suffering, but you can see healthy from there,” Strain said. “The question always has been: What’s going to matter more on Election Day — the rate of improve-ment of the economy or the absolute condition of the economy?”

The drop in unemployment was sharper than most economists ex-pected and was attributed mainly to businesses recalling workers who had been temporarily laid off.

Private companies added just over 1 million jobs in August, with the government providing nearly 350,000 others, including a quar-ter-million temporary census work-ers. The fall in private hiring from 1.5 million jobs in July was seen as a sign that employers remain cautious with the virus still out of control.

The outbreak is blamed for about 187,000 deaths and almost 6.2 mil-lion confirmed infections in the U.S., by far the highest totals in the world.

Richard Moody, chief economist at Regions Financial, noted that about half the private-sector job gains were in three categories: re-tail, restaurants, hotels and casinos, and health care. All have benefited from the reopening of most states’ economies.

“When the reopening effect wears off, the overall job gains in coming

months should be considerably smaller,” he said.

Retailers added 250,000 jobs, led by big gains at warehouse clubs and supercenters, and restaurants, ho-tels and entertainment firms gained 174,000. Health care added 90,000. But manufacturers, which are en-joying a jump in demand, particu-larly for cars, added just 29,000 jobs, one-tenth of their job growth in June. Construction added just 16,000 despite strong home building.

After an epic collapse in the spring, when the economy shrank at a roughly 30% annual rate, growth has been rebounding as states have reopened at least parts of their economies. But uncertainty is run-ning high, and many companies are still cutting jobs, with most of the layoffs permanent.

Casino and hotel operator MGM Resorts, slammed by declines in travel and tourism, said last week that it is eliminating 18,000 jobs. Coca Cola, which derives half its sales from stadiums, theaters and other venues that have been largely shut down, is offering buyouts to 4,000 employees. Bed, Bath & Be-yond will shed 2,800 jobs.

More than 20% of small busi-nesses are still closed, a figure that has been flat since June, according to Homebase, a provider of time-management software to small companies.

Associated PressStore closing signs are shown on a Stein Mart store Aug. 30, 2020, in Salt Lake City. The government issues the jobs report Friday, Sept. 4, for August at a time of continuing layoffs and high unemployment.

I have this cat, Teko.Of all the cats we’ve

ever had, Teko is prob-ably the prettiest, but he’s also the most challenging.

We adopted him last year from the Humanitar-ians, and when I brought him in for his yearly check-up at their veteri-nary clinic they had writ-ten in his file “mean cat.”

He bites.He doesn’t like to be

picked up. He doesn’t like to be held. He thinks 5:30 a.m. is breakfast time.

Every day around 3 or 4 p.m. is his “witching hour” when he’s espe-cially unfriendly. Some-times he’ll look at my arms and lunge for them as if they’re smoked tur-key legs.

But other times he’ll climb on my lap, curl up and keep his fangs to him-self. He also likes to sleep at my feet at night.

Because I work from home and I’m with him all day, I’m the one who feeds him and cleans his litter box. I buy him toys and play with him.

A favorite game is where I toss wadded up balls of paper in the air and he catches them and runs the length of the liv-ing room scooting the paper balls like a soccer ball or a hockey puck.

At his checkup, the vet prescribed meds to curb his meanness, and it does somewhat, but it doesn’t take it away completely.

It’s always under the surface and I’m always on edge and on guard, wait-ing for him to bite me.

Recently, I seriously considered returning him to the Humanitarians. But when I told my husband, he said Teko is young and is worth working with and that if we returned him, the next person who adopts him might end up dumping him in the woods.

I don’t want that to hap-pen. He’s a challenge, but I can’t not take care of him.

When I first saw him, I knew he was mine.

I always remember hearing someone say that all of life illustrates bibli-cal truth, which includes cats that bite.

Someone also has said, “Hurt people hurt peo-ple.” Bullies bully be-cause they’ve been bullied.

One of the volunteers at the Humanitarians said maybe Teko was mis-treated before he came to them and maybe that’s why he bites.

He doesn’t trust the person who feeds him and cares for him and who is always thinking about what he needs and how to help him feel safe and secure.

I won’t ever harm him, but maybe he doesn’t know that. Maybe he doesn’t trust that.

In many ways — except for the biting part — I’m like that with God.

The Bible says if we draw near to God he will draw near to us (James 4:8), and I want to, but

NICOLE WINFIELDAssociated Press

ROME — On the March day that Italy recorded its single biggest jump in coronavirus fatalities, Pope Francis emerged from lockdown to offer an ex-traordinary prayer and plea to his flock to reassess their priorities, arguing the virus had proved they needed one another.

Francis’ words from the rain-slicked promenade of St. Peter’s Basilica en-capsulated the core messages he has emphasized during his seven-year pon-tificate: solidarity, social justice and care for the most vulnerable.

But the dramatic moment also under-scored how isolated the pope had be-come during the COVID-19 emergency and a sustained season of opposition from his conservative critics: He was utterly alone before an invisible enemy, preaching to a hauntingly empty piazza.

During the virus crisis, Francis has

become a 21st century “prisoner of the Vatican,” as one of his predecessors was once known, robbed of the crowds, foreign travel and visits to the periph-eries that so defined and popularized his papacy. He will resume physical contact with his flock this week with re-vived Wednesday general audiences, but the meetings will be held in an in-ternal Vatican courtyard before a lim-ited crowd rather than the vast St. Peter’s Square.

After weeks during which Italy brought the virus under control, the country’s caseload is rebounding — now adding more than 1,000 new infec-tions a day — so there’s no telling when or how more ambitious public gather-ings and travel might return.

What does all this mean for a 83-year-old globe-trotting pope and his ministry to the 1.2-billion-member Catholic Church?

Alberto Melloni, a church historian usually sympathetic to Francis,

declared that the pandemic marked the beginning of the end of Francis’ pontifi-cate. In a recent essay, he asserted that tensions that had percolated through-out the papacy came to the surface during the lockdown, and won’t fade even after COVID-19 is tamed.

“In every papacy there’s a historic point after which the final phase be-gins, which can last years,” Melloni wrote. For Francis, “this point was the pandemic and his solitude before the virus.”

Papal biographer Austen Ivereigh concurred that the pandemic was in-deed “a before and after moment” for the papacy and humanity itself. But he disputed that Francis was isolated and said the crisis had offered him an unex-pected opportunity to provide spiritual guidance to a world in need.

The pandemic, he said in an inter-view, had given “a whole new impetus

Congregation Beth Sholom, Beverly Hills, serving our community for 50 years,

will be observing the Jewish High Holidays this year.

The first services will be at 5:30 p.m.Friday evening, Sept. 18, where we will have a special Rosh HaShanah Seder. Day services for Rosh HaSha-nah will be at 10 a.m. Saturday morning, Sept. 19, then at 10 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 20.

Yom Kippur will be at 6:45 p.m. Sunday evening (Kol Nidre), Sept. 27, then at 10 a.m. Monday, Sept. 28, and conclud-ing service at 6 p.m.

We will conduct all services via Zoom with some originating from our sanctuary building. Prayer books will be loaned free of charge to our congregants to

help them participate in the services.

Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur are observed by Jews all over the world. Rosh HaShanah (literally, “Head of the Year”) is the Jewish New Year, a time of prayer, self-reflection and repentance.

Rosh HaShanah marks the beginning of a 10-day period, known as the Yamim Nora-im (“Days of Awe” or “High Holi-days”), culminating with Yom Kippur (the “Day of Atonement”).

On Rosh HaShanah we review our actions during the past year, and we look for ways to improve

ourselves, our com-munities and our world in the year to come.

There also are sev-eral holiday rituals observed at home. Customs associated with the holiday in-clude sounding the shofar, eating a round challah and tasting apples and honey to represent a sweet New Year.

Yom Kippur is the holiest day on the Jewish calendar. It is a moment in Jewish time when we dedicate our mind, body and soul to reconciliation with our fellow human beings, ourselves and God through fasting, prayer and repentance.

As the New Year begins, we commit to self-reflection and inner change. As both seekers and givers of pardon, we turn first to those whom we have wronged, acknowledging our sins and the pain we have caused them. We are also com-manded to forgive, to be willing to let go of any resentment we feel towards those who have committed offenses against us. Only then can we turn to God and ask for forgiveness.

For more information and/or to join our Zoom services as a guest, please contact Barbara Hamerling at barb4949@gmail.com.

Alisa Forman is cantor and spiritual leader of Congregation Beth Sholom.

A food pantry is provided by St. Timothy Church and LifeTree Church from 9:30 a.m. to noon every Tuesday at LifeTree Church, 1501 SE U.S. 19 in Crystal River during the pandemic. St. Timothy is still not open, but we do man the pantry out-side in front of the building. Once we are back to normal, the schedule will return back to just the second and fourth Tuesdays. For more informa-tion, call 352-403-1498.

The Before and After School pro-gram at North Oak Church is now available for students K5 to fifth grade who attend Citrus Springs Elemen-tary School and a possible connec-tion with Central Ridge Elementary School.

Changes necessary due to the COVID-19 pandemic have been ad-dressed, safety measures are in

place and the program promises to offer even more opportunity for students.

Parents can bring their children to the KIDZONE at 7 a.m., Monday through Friday. The students are then transported by school bus to Citrus Springs Elementary School. The Be-fore School program includes breakfast.

Students who need the after school program are transported back to the church property from the school by school bus, where they will receive an afternoon snack, a homework room and recreation until parents pick them up by 6 p.m. A pilot program to offer a limited number of Central Ridge Elementary School students van transportation is available de-pending on registration and need.

Full day camps for school holiday

weeks and teacher workdays are also available and all workers are DCF trained and background screened.

North Oak Camp Ministries is lo-cated in the KIDZONE at 9324 N. Elkcam Blvd. in Citrus Springs. Call 352-489-1688 for more information.

Nature Coast Community Bible Study (CBS) will offer a 30-week, in-depth Bible study on Thursday morn-ings, beginning Sept. 10. In order to comply with COVID-19 state and CDC guidelines, our class will be meeting virtually using a CBS Zoom partnership. CBS is celebrating 45 years since its inception, so all U.S. classes will study the Gospel of John this school year.

Once registered, each class mem-ber will receive a course book with a commentary and home study

questions. Every week, members will participate in a Zoom meeting in small core-group discussions led by trained leaders. A teaching on the CBS website will follow each core group discussion. Class members will be encouraged in the areas of perse-vering under trial, living wisely, prayer and seeking God in troubling times.

CBS is part of an international or-ganization that provides interdenomi-national Bible study. Visit the class website at naturecoast.cbsclass.org for more information and to preregis-ter, which is recommended. To in-quire, call Terry at 352-287-5503 or Rosey at 352-634-3952.a

sometimes something inside of me says if I do, he might hurt me, although he

never has.So, I can understand Teko’s perspec-

tive, but I can also understand God’s, that he’s for me, not against me, that he will never abandon me, even if I bite him.

I suppose if I want a perfect cat I

could get a robot, but you can’t have a relationship with a machine. Maybe God thinks that way about people.

I chose Teko. He is mine, and he’s worth my tears and my prayers, and even my blood from his bites — and that’s what Jesus says about me and

about you, too.

to the papacy” to double down on its core message, articulated most compre-hensively in Francis’ 2015 encyclical “Praised Be.” In the document, Francis demanded political lead-ers correct the “perverse” structural inequalities of the global economy that had turned Earth into an “immense pile of filth.”

“It is his conviction that this is a turning point, and that what the church can offer humanity could be very helpful,” Ivereigh said. “He is convinced that ... in a crisis, and a major crisis like a war or a pandemic, you either come out better or you come out worse.”

There are rumors Fran-cis is writing a new encyc-lical for the post-COVID-19 world, but for now a key part of his message is embodied by a Vatican commission help-ing local church leaders ensure that the needs of the poorest are met now and after the emergency fades.

The commission is pro-viding concrete assistance — every month or so the Vatican announces a new delivery of ventilators to a developing country — as well as policy recommen-dations for how govern-ments and institutions can re-think global economic,

social, health care and other structures to be more equitable and sustainable.

“The pope isn’t just looking at the emergency,” said Sister Alessandra Smerilli, an economist who is a key member of the commission. “He is perhaps one of the few world leaders who is pushing to ensure that we don’t waste this crisis, that all the pain that this crisis has caused isn’t in vain.”

In recent weeks, Fran-cis has also launched a se-ries of new catechism lessons applying Catholic social teaching to the pan-demic, reasserting the church’s “preferential op-tion for the poor” by de-manding that the rich don’t get priority in getting a vaccine and that politi-cal leaders address social injustices exacerbated by the crisis.

“Some people can work from home, while this is impossible for many oth-ers,” Francis pointed out last week. “Certain chil-dren ... can continue to re-ceive an academic education, while this has been abruptly interrupted for many, many others. Some powerful nations can issue money to deal with the crisis, while this would mean mortgaging the future for others.”

Zac Efron, an actor and singer, said, “I’m very competitive by na-ture. And I like to be the underdog. It’s the best way to win. To come from behind and win is a great feeling!”

At the bridge table, if you are an underdog to make your contract, but get lucky with suit splits and finesses, you will be happy, but your opponents will be pained, having gotten a bad board after

doing nothing wrong.In today’s deal, how should

South play in both six clubs and seven clubs after West leads the diamond jack?

South’s two-club response was natural and game-forcing. Then, after Blackwood revealed that all four aces were held, South had a close decision whether to settle for six clubs or jump to seven clubs.

At Bridge Base Online, one pair bid six and one bid seven. The de-clarer in the small slam played perfectly. He took the first trick with his diamond ace and re-turned a diamond. He was able to ruff his third diamond on the board, draw trumps and discard the heart queen on the second high spade from the board.

The declarer in the grand slam took a no-chance line. He won with his diamond ace, played a club to dummy’s nine and took the losing heart finesse to go down two. But even if the finesse had worked, South still would have had a diamond loser to eliminate. He needed spades 3-3 and clubs 2-2 — a massive 14.5% chance. He should have ruffed a spade in his hand, drawn trumps ending on the board and discarded his losers on the high spades. Lucky, lucky, lucky!

EarthflightThis behind-the-scenes finale to the breathtaking nature se-ries reveals some of the many extraordinary techniques imple-mented by the filmmaking team to secure the stunning footage they compiled over four years, working in more than 40 coun-tries in six continents. In some cases, team members became

members of the flock being filmed, piloting paragliders and other light aircraft alongside the birds in flight. In Africa, a radio-controlled drone sound-lessly infiltrated masses of air-borne pink flamingos, for ex-ample. David Tennant narrates.

Movie: Spies in DisguiseWill Smith and Tom Holland both earned rave reviews for their voice work in the lead roles of this 2019 computer-an-imated spy comedy co-helmed by Troy Quane and Nick Bru-no. Smith voices dapper spy Lance Sterling, who is widely admired as one of the best se-cret agents in the field — until he accidentally gets turned into a pigeon by Walter Beckett (voice of Holland), a socially inept scientist and colleague. The voice cast also includes Rashida Jones, Ben Mendel-sohn, Reba McEntire, Rachel Brosnahan and Karen Gillan.

Dear Annie: I work a part-time job with great peo-ple who love their jobs.

One of our co-workers got mar-ried and two of my co-workers and I went to the wedding to-gether. The whole time, all they talked about was work. Periodically, I would chime in and change the subject. The other evening, we three de-cided to stop and grab a quick bite to eat, and the whole t i m e , again, all t h e y t a l k e d a b o u t was work. I enjoy t h e i r company, but I am tired of the con-v e r s a -t i o n s a l w a y s being about work. Please help! — Heard Enough

Dear Heard Enough: You had the right idea with gently trying to change the subject. You might try bringing atten-tion to it next time with a light-hearted comment, like “I can’t think about the office anymore today. What’s new with you outside of work?” If they still drift back to the usual talking points, accept that your con-versations might be limited, and only go out with them when you feel up for that.

Dear Annie: My name is Barbara.

It’s NOT “Barb.” It’s not “Barbie.” It’s not “Babs.”

So, please tell me WHY when I introduce myself as Barbara, the majority of the time, people say things like, “Hi, Barb”?

Immediately, I correct them, saying, “No — it’s Barbara.” People so often become conde-scending after that and say things like, “Oh, right! Bar-BRA!”

And then in later encoun-ters, when they call me Barb, I remind them again: “Please remember I prefer ‘Barbara.”’ Then, during our next encoun-ter, they say, “Hi, Barb!” Ugh!

Kathleen is seldom called “Kathy.” Nobody calls Chris-tina “Chris.” I know men named James, who people next-to-never call Jim or Jimmy. That is, of course, un-less these people choose or agree to go by those name derivatives.

It’s the individual’s prefer-ence. It’s their energetic vibra-tion and pattern. It’s their name. Why is it so difficult or inconvenient for people to call women named Barbara by our names? — Barbara

Dear Barbara: Not everyone loves an unsolicited nickname, and I’m happy to print your letter as a public service an-nouncement of sorts. But the reality is that at some point you’ll probably be “Barbed” again. When that happens, re-mind the offender of your name, as you graciously have in the past. Then take a deep breath and remind yourself that this term of enragement is meant as a term of endear-ment, however misguided.

Dear Annie: I read your col-umn where “Not Sure How to Feel” mentioned one of her exes who died recently. I am so sorry to hear that, and she has my sympathy. I did want to mention one thing about the column, though, that bothered me. “Not Sure” said, “commit-ted suicide.” I lost my brother to suicide a little over two years ago, and I have struggled with this every day since. The word “commit” is often used to mean something bad, like com-mitting a crime or committing a sin. However, suicide is not a sin or a crime. The word com-mitted has a lot of stigma asso-ciated with it, and using it to discuss suicide can add to the stigma many suicide loss sur-vivors or those who are sui-cidal can feel. Instead, it’s so much better to say “died by suicide,” as that helps to make it sound more like a cause of death rather than a crime. I’d really love it if you would re-mind your readers that, in this case, word use can matter a great deal. Also, please check out Conversations Matter: www.conversationsmatter.com.au/. They have some great resources for how to talk about suicide. — Grieving Sister

Dear Grieving: I am so sorry for your loss. I had never con-sidered the stigma with which that phrase was imbued. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

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

How to Avoid a Fake Check Scam

• 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.

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