County to mull utility rate increaseBy MICHAEL D. BATESStaff writer
County commissioners will meet at a workshop Tuesday to discuss a con-sultant’s study calling for a modest increase in utility rates to accommodate fu-ture growth.
Maitland, Florida-based
Raftelis Financial Con-sultants determined the county’s existing water and wastewater rates will not be suf�cient through 2026 be-cause of a projected decline in net revenue due to in�a-tion and the need to fund infrastructure projects.
For homeowners who use an 10,000 gallons of water
a month, the average bill would increase from $27.09 per month to $28.44, with possible increases to come.
Wastewater monthly rates would go up from an aver-age $66.99 to $69.
Increasing operating ex-penses, capital costs relat-ed to system upgrades and expansions and additional
debt service costs rate ad-justments are proposed for �scal years 2023 through 2026.
The county commission workshop is at 9 a.m. Dec. 14 at the Citrus County Courthouse, 110 N. Apopka Ave., Inverness.

A partnership for safetyBy FRED HIERSChronicle Reporter
We’ve all read something like this before and cringed.
“A 3-year-old child was pronounced dead after he was found unresponsive in the family’s swimming pool when he got out of the home undetected.”
It’s the kind of headline that’s appeared in almost every Florida newspaper and in almost every Florida county at one time or anoth-er. Only a few facts change with each drowning: some-times it’s a toddler, a boy, a girl, a child maybe �ve or 10. But the consequences to the victim and their griev-ing families are always the same.
In 2021, there were 93
child drownings in Flori-da and 65 percent of those were children three years old and younger. Most were in family pools.
Child drownings are avoidable with proper safety precautions to keep a child out of the pool, said YM-CA’s senior membership director in Citrus County, Garrett Adkins. But the best and last line of defense is teaching a baby or toddler swimming basics such as �oating on their back, kick-ing and arm movements, and getting to the edge of the pool or steps to wait for help.
The YMCA recently creat-ed a partnership with Citrus Memorial Hospital to allow any baby born at the hospi-tal to receive lessens teach-ing the infant to �oat on its back and make elemental motions with its arms and legs and to try keep its face out of the water.
The program will focus on 6-month-olds to babies a year old, but will still accept children a little older under the partnership with CMH.
It’s about buying a baby time in case they fall in the water, Adkins said. That’s because it only takes sec-onds for a baby to drown so buying seconds is import-ant, he said.
The statistics are frighten-ing.
More children in the Unit-ed States ages 1 year to 4 years old die from drown-ing than any other cause of death except birth defects, according to the Centers for Disease and Prevention.
For children ages 1 year to 14 years, drowning is the second leading cause of un-intentional injury death only after motor vehicle crashes, according to the CDC.

CR Council to address Hunter Springs Park management, roadway realignmentBy BUSTER THOMPSONChronicle Reporter
Hunter Springs Park man-agement and relocating Kings Bay Drive are just a couple of topics Crystal River City Council plans to address at its next regu-lar meeting before the hol-idays.
City Council members call to order at 5:30 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 13, at Crystal River City Hall, 123 NW U.S. 19.
For more information on council’s agenda and to watch the meeting online,
visit crystalriver�.org/meetings.
During the meet-ing, City Manager Ken Frink would like council to mull over the future man-agement model of Hunter Springs Park to �nd a solution for the overcrowding occurring at the 3.5-acre park during the summer and weekends. Frink will present council with several options.
Frink is also going to in-troduce a process to restart efforts to relocate sections of Kings Bay Drive to ac-
cess into the Port Hotel and Marina along with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Ser-vice’s Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge Of�ce.
According to the city, a council from
2001 voted to OK realign-ing portions of Paradise Point Road and Kings Bay Drive but the project stalled due to a lack of funding.
Frink will ask council on Monday to approve a mo-tion allowing him to apply for a Federal Land Access
Program Grant, which could fund the project in its entirety.
Also on city council’s agenda for Monday:
■ David Reed, executive director of the Citrus Coun-ty YMCA, will present council with an update on the organization’s Commu-nity Engagement Center at the city’s Jim LeGrone Me-morial Park;
■ City Attorney Robert Batsel Jr. will update coun-cil on new developments in the city’s code enforce-ment �ght against the Crys-tal Square shopping plaza
along U.S. 19; ■ Council will nominate
and elect its next vice may-or for a one-year term;
■ Council members will announce their new com-mittee assignments for 2022;
■ A discussion hosted by Councilman Ken Brown about including former council members in invita-tions to city ribbon-cutting events.

FHP: Running of red light causes collisionBy BUSTER THOMPSONChronicle Reporter
A motorist ran a red light at the junction of two high-ways in southwest Citrus County, causing their car to collide with a passing SUV.
According to Florida Highway Patrol (FHP), the 8:29 p.m. crash from Thursday, Dec. 9, occurred at the intersection of South Suncoast Boulevard and West Ponce De Leon Bou-levard, or U.S. 19 and U.S. 98, south of Homosassa.
Prior to the two-vehicle collision, a white Subaru Legacy and its driver, a 46-year-old Weeki Wachee woman, were stopped for a red light in the left-turn lane of northbound U.S. 19.
According to the FHP, the woman drove into the intersection under the steady red light and struck the left-front side of a
Hyundai Santa Fe heading south on U.S. 19.
A Citrus County Fire Rescue EMS crew trans-ported the Hyundai’s driv-er, a 70-year-old Clear-water man, to Oak Hill Hospital for treatment of incapacitating injuries.
According to FHP, the Subaru’s driver, who suf-fered non-incapacitating injuries but wasn’t trans-ported to hospital, told the investigating trooper she was stopped at the inter-section for several signal cycles but her light never turned green.
She said she believed the intersection was clear of traf�c, and proceeded to turn under a red light. FHP cited her with failing to obey a traf�c signal.

Inverness fire dept. looks to replace aging equipment
By FRED HIERSChronicle Reporter
The Inverness city �re department is hoping to replace its vehicle and per-sonnel mobile radio system before the aging system can no longer be properly main-tained.
City Fire Chief Steve Marfongella successfully obtained state grants earlier this fall for safety and vehi-cle equipment so Tuesday he asked city council mem-bers for permission to again try his luck and apply for a federal grant to replace his department’s equipment.
Marfongella told the coun-cil the Federal Emergency Management Administra-tion (FEMA) �scal 2021
grant application period is open for �re departments needing more equipment.
Marfongella asked for and received permission from the council to apply for an $80,000 grant for Motoro-la Solutions radio equipment. Under the grant application the city’s �nancial commitment would be $4,000.
The council encouraged him to apply.
“It’s good you keep seek-ing and receiving these grants,” Councilwoman Linda Bega told Marfon-gella.
Councilman Cabot Mc-Bride told Marfongella that getting the needed equip-ment would be “a big deal” and that communication between emergency work-ers was of utmost impor-tance.
Councilwoman Jacquie Hepfer said that getting $80,000 in exchange for a $4,000 “is just good busi-
ness” for the city. ■ Also in city
business, Mayor Bob Plaisted award-ed Cooter Kudos to the Citrus County Special Olympics Softball Team for getting second place during the statewide
games.Also receiving a mayor’s
Cooter Kudos was the Fes-tival of the Arts Committee for its recent work on the successful arts festival in Inverness.
Plaisted also awarded the School of Dance Arts a Cooter Kudos for its dance participation and contribu-tion at the arts festival.

Family’s Christmas display finds home at their breweryBy SUSAN TAYLOR MARTINTampa Bay Times
ST. PETERSBURG — It started with two tiny hous-es, one with ghostly �gures of Christmas past and pres-ent dancing inside.
Next came more houses, and stores and trees and trains and teensy skiers and carolers. Eventually an en-tire Christmas village, fully lit and animated, took over the garage of Bruce and Pat Harting’s waterfront St. Pe-tersburg home. Neighbors would pause on their night-ly walks, trans�xed by the wondrous sight.
Then eight years ago, the mini metropolis moved – to a brewery started by the Hartings’ son Mike and his wife, Leigh. As 3 Daugh-ters Brewing has grown in renown, so has the size of Mike’s parents’ Christmas display.
“You’ve got the North Pole up here,” Bruce Hart-ing says, pointing to an
animated Santa’s Mail-box, “and people shopping down here.” In all there are six trains, 341 houses and other pieces (89 of which are animated) and more than 380 people.
Each year in October, the Hartings start assembling the display, which now covers several long sheets of plywood and runs along two sides of the brewery in the Warehouse Arts Dis-trict. It takes until mid-No-vember to �nish what has become a popular draw, especially with harried par-ents who can enjoy a brew or two while their offspring ooh and ahh over the chug-ging trains, revolving car-ousels and rising hot air balloons.
Bruce Harting’s favorite piece remains the Scrooge house with ghosts that his mother gave him in 1986. It was made by Department 56, a Minnesota compa-ny known for its ceramic buildings and other holi-
day decorations. As De-partment 56 items became increasingly expensive, Harting turned to Lemax products, which are sold at Michaels, and whatever he can get from eBay and other sources. A retired Army lieutenant colonel, he �nances the display with what he makes as referee for local soccer teams.
Christmas buffs are eager to help. Dave Zitnik, who has a model train store in Pinellas Park, comes every Friday to lend a hand with the trains. This year, for the �rst time, there will be two trains running on the same track. Another volunteer made a mini replica of the massive brew house. And a friend from St. Louis contributed a little team of Clydesdales hauling a wag-on full of beer barrels.
“It had Budweiser on the side,” Harting said, “but that doesn’t work so I painted it and put 3 Daugh-ters on it.”

For eight years, Bruce and Pat Harting have been setting up an elaborate, animated Christmas Village at 3 Daughters Brewing, owned by their son, Nov. 1 in St. Petersburg.
Florida Democrats aim to rebound as GOP voting numbers growBy ANTHONY IZAGUIRREAssociated Press
TALLAHASSEE — In Florida, for the �rst time in modern history, registered Republican voters outnum-ber Democrats. Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis is head-ing into a reelection cam-paign buoyed by a national pro�le and a cash reserve unmatched by any Demo-cratic challenger. And Re-publicans control virtually all of state government.
When Democrats met recently for their annual strategy conference, An-nette Taddeo, a Democrat-ic state senator running for governor, said there was a clear sense of the dif�cul-ties ahead for the party.
“Of course this �ght will not be easy, but it’s about so much more than any one of us, and as Florida Democrats, we have lost so many times that donors and pundits have given up on us,” Taddeo said. But, she added, “I believe and I know we can win if we create the coalition of vot-ers that are needed to win in a state where these de-
cisions are made by 1 per-cent or less.”
With the 2022 election approaching, Democrats are confronting a host of disadvantages as they work to rebuild campaign net-works and try to reignite excitement in their party. There is a growing wor-ry that big donors and the national wing of the party may consider Florida to be GOP territory after years of bruising losses.
“In the current state of American politics, and especially in a state with as many major television markets and population centers, you’re going to need more help,” said state Rep. Evan Jenne, a Demo-crat. “It’s not as if Florid-ians can’t be swayed one way or the other. We need more coordination with the national party.”
The Democratic Gover-nors Association has bris-tled at assertions that it has ceded Florida to Republi-cans. A spokesperson said the group is building its general election infrastruc-ture, with investments in media and messaging.

Spielberg ‘West Side Story’ debuts weakly with $10.5 million openingBy JAKE COYLEAP Film Writer
NEW YORK — Despite critical acclaim and two years-worth of anticipation, Steven Spielberg’s lavish “West Side Story” revival made little noise at the box of� ce, debuting with $10.5 million in ticket sales, accord-ing to studio estimates Sun-day – a worrisome result for a movie industry struggling to recapture its � nger-snapping rhythm.
A dazzling widescreen ad-aptation and Spielberg’s � rst musical, “West Side Story” was one of the year’s most eagerly awaited titles. With a script by Tony Kushner and Rita Moreno returning to her breakthrough � lm 60 years later, the $100-million “West Side Story” epitomizes a grand-scale prestige � lm that Hollywood infrequently pro-duces anymore. It hit theaters on a wave of glowing reviews and expectations that it could play a starring role in March’s Academy Awards.
But “West Side Story” faced a challenging marketplace for both adult-driven releases and musicals. Audiences have steadily returned to multiplex-es in the second year of the pandemic, but older moviego-ers, who made up the bulk of ticket-buyers for Spielberg’s latest, have been among the slowest to return.
Musicals, too, have strug-gled to catch on in theaters. Lin-Manuel Miranda’s “In the Heights” launched with $11 million in June but the Warner Bros. release simultaneously
streamed on HBO Max. The critically panned “Dear Evan Hanson,” from Universal, debuted with $7.4 million in September.
But this was Spielberg. If anyone could reignite mov-iegoing, the thinking went, it was him. Surely, one of the movies’ dazzling craftsmen, a director synonymous with box of� ce, could spark a fuller revival in theaters. “West Side Story,” too, is among the most beloved musicals. The 1961 � lm, directed by Jerome Rob-bins and Robert Wise, made $43.7 million (or about $400 million adjusted for in� ation) and won 10 Oscars, including best picture.
“West Side Story” can still be expected to play well through the lucrative holiday corridor, during which younger-skew-ing � lms like “Spider-Man: No Way Home” and “Sing 2” will likely be the top draws. Film executives are hoping the spreading omicron variant of
COVID-19 doesn’t set the box of� ce back just as Hollywood is nearing its most pro� table period.
But the muted reception for “West Side Story” will con-cern the industry. Hopes had long been pinned on Spiel-berg, with his song-and-dance spectacular, to bring back some of the movies’ mojo. In-stead, little right now outside of Marvel releases is � nding big audiences. Many movie-goers simply haven’t returned yet.
Starring newcomer Rachel Zegler and Ansel Elgort as Maria and Tony, “West Side Story” took in $4.4 million in 37 overseas territories.
David A. Gross, who runs the movie consultancy Fran-chise Entertainment, called the opening “soft.”
“If ‘West Side Story’ is going to be pro� table, it will need to connect internationally as well domestically,” Gross said in an email.

William Edward ‘Eddie’ GoadEddie was born July 11,
1935 in Atlanta, Georgia to Robert Lee and Helen Maria (Gibson) Goad. When he was �ve his family moved to St. Petersburg, FL where he grew up and went to school. At age 17 he enlisted in the U S Navy and was assigned to the USS Colum-bus. Eddie completed his four years of service as a 3rd class Petty Of�cer, receiving several medals and an hon-orable discharge.
Following his service to our Coun-try Eddie returned to FL, studied tele-vision repair and took the tests for the Police Academy and the Fire�ghter Academy. Being accepted to both, he chose to join the St. Petersburg Fire Department where he served for 20+ years achieving the rank of Lieu-tenant and often serving as acting Captain until his retirement in 1984.
Following his retirement, he packed up and moved to Hollywood, CA to study acting (a lifelong dream) and spent the next several years playing small parts in such television shows as “The Golden Girls,” “Cagney and Lacey,” “General Hospital,” among others and several movies including the “Chicago Seven.” He maintained his membership in the Screen Actor’s Guild (SAG) and the American Fed-eration of Television and Radio Art-ists (AFTRA) for many years. When he re-retired Eddie moved to Las Ve-gas for several years and �nally back to St. Pete area, then settling in Ho-mosassa in the mid 1990’s.
Eddie went with the angels Satur-
day, December 4, 2021. In addition to his mother and fa-ther, Eddie was pre-deceased by his sister Helen Goad Grif-�th, his brother Thomas A. Goad, and his love and com-panion of 25 years, Dorothy Davidson.
He is survived by his brother-in-law and boyhood best friend, Gary Grif-�th, Jr., adored nieces Debbie Grif-�th Overby (Lin); Mickey Grif�th Hale (Bob); nephew Gary Grif�th, III (Maria) and many great and great-great nieces and nephews. He is sur-vived by a daughter, Cynthia Goad, grandsons Garrett (Kirsten) Boyd / great-grandson Penn Alexander Boyd; and Brennan (Adriana) Boyd /great-granddaughter Miriam Hope Boyd; and a son, Billy Goad.
Eddie had a host of dear friends that will miss this funny, fun-loving, caring individual who brought that something special to all their lives. Also left to cherish the many mem-ories they made together is Pepper Krugman his best friend and com-panion for the past 7 years. Eddie met his beloved Pepper at karaoke, and they both loved singing at the Elks and the Moose among other venues. Pepper’s children, Donna Taylor and Scott Peters became an important part of Eddie’s life. They appreciate how he loved their mom and always made her feel special. They love and admire the man he was and Scott formed and even greater bond as part of Eddie’s caregiving team in his �nal few months.
As long as his memory served him Eddie prayed to God for all his friends and loved ones every night.
Eddie was a member of the Loyal Order of Moose and a lifetime mem-ber of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. He loved boating, Cody’s Restaurant in Crystal River, his home on the canal in Homosas-sa, buying the (more than) occasional lottery ticket, going out with friends and cruising with Pepper.
In addition to the special loving care Pepper and Scott gave Eddie in his �nal months a huge thanks goes to Bruce and Libby Crowell, Marla Ros-en, Mike Childers, Robin Hill, Janet Stutzman and Vitas Hospice for the caring help, advice and moral support they so willingly provided any time, day or night, they were needed.
A memorial service will be planned for a future time when family and friends can gather to honor William Edward Goad, the man that served his country and his community and to reminisce (and maybe sing a song or two) and to share special memories of “Eddie”, the friend and loved one we will forever miss.

OBITUARY
Vampire novelist Anne Rice dies at 80By JAKE COYLEAP Film Writer
NEW YORK — Anne Rice, the novelist whose lush, best-selling gothic tales, including “Interview With a Vampire,” rein-vented the blood-drinking immortals as tragic antihe-roes, has died. She was 80.
Rice died late Saturday due to complications from a stroke, her son Christo-pher Rice announced on her Facebook page and his Twitter page.
“As a writer, she taught me to defy genre bound-aries and surrender to my obsessive passions,” Chris-topher Rice, also an author, wrote. “In her �nal hours, I sat beside her hospital bed in awe of her accomplish-ments and her courage.”
Rice’s 1976 novel “In-terview With the Vampire” was later adapted, with
a script by Rice, into the 1994 movie directed by Neil Jordan and starring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. It’s also set to be adapted
again in an upcoming TV series on AMC and AMC+ set to premiere next year.
“Interview With the Vam-pire,” in which reporter Daniel Molloy interviews Louis de Pointe du Lac, was Rice’s �rst novel but over the next �ve decades, she would write more than 30 books and sell more than 150 million copies world-wide. Thirteen of those were part of the “Vampire Chronicles” begun with her 1976 debut. Long before “Twilight” or “True Blood,” Rice introduced sumptuous romance, female sexuality and queerness – many took “Interview With the Vam-pire” as an allegory for ho-mosexuality – to the super-natural genre.
“I wrote novels about peo-ple who are shut out life for various reasons,” Rice wrote in her 2008 memoir “Called Out of Darkness: A
Spiritual Confession.” “This became a great theme of my novels – how one suf-fers as an outcast, how one is shut out of various levels of meaning and, ultimately, out of human life itself.”
Born Howard Allen Fran-ces O’Brien in 1941, she was raised in New Orleans, where many of her novels were set. Her father worked for the postal service but made sculptures and wrote �ction on the side.
Raised in an Irish Cath-olic family, Rice initially imagined herself becoming a priest (before she realized women weren’t allowed) or a nun. Rice often wrote about her �uctuating spir-itual journey. In 2010, she announced that she was no longer Christian, saying “I refuse to be anti-gay. I re-fuse to be anti-feminist. I refuse to be anti-arti�cial birth control.”

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson records an address to the nation Sunday at Downing Street, London, to provide an update on the booster vaccine program.
Boris Johnson: UK faces ‘tidal wave’ of omicron casesBy JILL LAWLESSAssociated Press
LONDON — Prime Min-ister Boris Johnson warned Sunday that Britain faces a “tidal wave” of infections from the omicron coronavi-rus variant, and announced a huge increase in booster vaccinations to strengthen defenses against it.
In a televised statement, Johnson said everyone age 18 and older will be offered a third shot of vaccine by the end of this month in response to the omicron “emergency.” The previous target was the end of Janu-ary.
He said cases of the high-ly transmissible variant are doubling every two to three days in Britain, and “there is a tidal wave of omicron coming.”
“And I’m afraid it is now clear that two doses of vac-cine are simply not enough to give the level of protec-tion we all need,” Johnson said. “But the good news is that our scientists are con�-dent that with a third dose – a booster dose – we can all bring our level of protection back up.”
He announced a “national mission” to deliver booster vaccines, with pop-up vac-cination centers and seven-day-a-week getting extra support from teams of mili-tary planners and thousands of volunteer vaccinators.
Johnson’s Dec. 31 target applies to England. The oth-er parts of the U.K. – Scot-land, Wales and Northern Ireland – are also expected to speed up their vaccina-tion campaigns.
The U.K. Health Security Agency says existing vac-cines appear less effective in preventing symptomatic infections in people ex-posed to omicron, though preliminary data show that effectiveness appears to rise to between 70 percent and 75 percent after a third vac-cine dose.
More than 80 percent of people age 12 and up in Britain have received two
doses of vaccine, and 40 percent of adults have had three doses. Giving the rest a booster in the next three weeks will be a huge chal-lenge, requiring almost 1 million doses delivered a day. Johnson acknowledged that many routine medical procedures would have to be postponed to meet the goal.
Johnson’s announcement came hours after the gov-ernment raised the coun-try’s of�cial coronavirus threat level, warning the rapid spread of the omicron variant had pushed the U.K. into risky territory.
The chief medical of�cers of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland said the 1of the highly trans-missible new strain “adds additional and rapidly in-creasing risk to the public and health care services” at a time when COVID-19 is already widespread. They recommended raising the alert level from 3 to 4 on a 5-point scale. The top lev-el, 5, indicates authorities think the health care system is about to be overwhelmed.
The doctors said early evidence shows omicron is spreading much faster than the currently dominant delta variant, and that vac-cines offer less protection against it. British of�cials say omicron is likely to re-place delta as the dominant strain in the U.K. within days.
“Data on severity will become clearer over the coming weeks but hospital-izations from omicron are already occurring and these are likely to increase rapid-ly,” they said.
Concerns about the new variant led Johnson’s Con-servative government to reintroduce restrictions that were lifted almost six months ago. Masks must be worn in most indoor settings, COVID-19 cer-ti�cates must be shown to enter nightclubs and people are being urged to work from home if possible.

YMCA’s executive director, said that while coming home from a Naples Rotary Club meeting he thought about duplicating some of that or-ganization’s programs, but through the YMCA. How-ever, he wanted the services to have a greater impact and came up with exposing in-fants to water safety.
When a child drowns and it could have been avoided if the child had been a better swimmer, “we take that per-sonal,” Reed said.
The YMCA has a heated and covered pool.
The partnership with CMH involves giving new parents
a voucher inviting the par-ents to bring their baby for eight swim sessions over a
four-week period.The free program does not
involve babies in the water
without a parent.“This is a parent/child swim
lesson,” Adkins said. “We don’t just throw them in.”
It’s about buying the baby time if they fall in water and an adult realizes soon later what’s happened.
“Buying them 60 seconds could mean the difference between life and death,” Adkins said.
The swim classes will also allow the baby’s �rst expe-rience with water and swim-ming to be positive and re-laxing.
“We want them to respect the water but not fear it,” Reed said.
CMH delivers about 500 babies annually. That number will increase now that Brave-ra Seven Rivers hospital will
no longer deliver babies.The partnership with
CMH will also have its ben-e�ts.
“We’re only stronger as a community when we have partnerships and CMH is a great partner,” Reed said.
CMH spokeswoman Katie Myers said the program was one more way to make chil-dren safer so CMH wanted to be part of it.
“We want all babies to have a strong, healthy start. We also want parents to have access to resources they need to provide the safest possible environment for their little ones. At Cit-rus Memorial Hospital, we have long focused on child-birth education classes…,” Myers told the Chronicle.
“Drowning remains one of the leading causes of death for children four and un-der. By partnering with the YMCA we can ensure more infants have access to swim lessons and families can learn water safety basics early on,” she said. “We’re encouraging all families who deliver with us to par-ticipate in this free program as we work together to re-duce the risk of accidental childhood drowning.”
Adkins said that once a child makes it to water “(swim lessons are) the num-ber one way we can protect children ... and it’s a lifelong skill once you acquire it.”

Will new bacon law begin? California grocers seek delayBy SCOTT MCFETRIDGEAssociated Press
ELLIOTT, Iowa — A co-alition of California restau-rants and grocery stores has �led a lawsuit to block im-plementation of a new farm animal welfare law, adding to uncertainty about wheth-er bacon and other fresh pork products will be much more expensive or in short supply in the state when the new rules take effect on New Year’s Day.
The lawsuit is the latest step in a tumultuous three-year process of enacting rules overwhelmingly ap-proved by voters but that re-main in question even as the law is set to begin. Since vot-ers approved Proposition 12 by a 2-to-1 ratio in Novem-ber 2018, state of�cials have missed deadlines for releas-ing speci�c regulations cov-ering the humane treatment of animals that provide meat for the California market.
Most hog producers hav-en’t made changes to com-ply with the law. And now a coalition of business owners is seeking more than a two-year delay.
“We’re saying this is not go-
ing to work,” said Nate Rose, a spokesman for the Califor-nia Grocers Association.
While groups are working to delay the measure, the state has eased the transi-
tion to the new system. It has allowed pork processed under the old rules and held in cold storage to be sold in California in 2022, which could prevent shortages for
weeks or even months.As Josh Balk, who leads
farm animal protection ef-forts at the Humane Soci-ety of the United States, put it, California residents
need not fear “pork industry claims of the apocalypse.”
Put simply, the law re-quires that breeding pigs, egg-laying chickens and veal calves be given enough space to stand and turn around. For pigs, that means they no longer can be kept in narrow “gestation crates” and must have 24 square feet of usable space.
Producers of eggs and veal appear able to meet the new law, but hog farmers argued the changes would be too expensive and couldn’t be carried out until the state approved �nal regulations for the new standards. An estimate from North Caro-lina State University found the new standard would cost about 15% more per animal for a farm with 1,000 breed-ing pigs.
The National Pork Produc-ers Council has challenged California’s right to impose standards on businesses in other states, but so far those efforts have failed.
California is the nation’s largest market for pork, and producers in major hog states like Iowa provide more than 80% of the roughly 255 mil-lion pounds that California’s
restaurants and groceries use each month, according to Rabobank, a global food and agriculture �nancial services company.
Without that supply, it’s unclear if a state that con-sumes about 13% of the na-tion’s pork supply will have all the meat it demands. The North American Meat In-stitute, an industry group, said packers and processors “will do their best to serve the California market.”
“What will happen in Cal-ifornia? I don’t know,” said Michael Formica, the gen-eral counsel for the Nation-al Pork Producers Council. “One thing we know is there will be �nite supplies to sell there.”
Adding to the uncertain-ty is the lawsuit �led last month in Sacramento Coun-ty by the California Gro-cers Association, Califor-nia Restaurant Association, California Hispanic Cham-bers of Commerce, Cali-fornia Retailers Association and Kruse & Sons, a meat processor. The suit seeks a 28-month delay until �nal regulations for enforcement of the rules are of�cially ad-opted.

A hog walks in a pasture on the Ron Mardesen farm Dec. 2 near Elliott, Iowa. A coalition of Cali-fornia restaurants and grocery stores has filed a lawsuit to block implementation of a farm animal welfare law, adding to uncertainty about whether bacon and other fresh pork products will be prohibitively expensive or available at all in the state when the new rules take effect on New Year’s Day. Mardesen already meets the California standards for the hogs he sells to specialty meat company Niman Ranch, which supported passage of Proposition 12 and requires all of its roughly 650 hog farmers to give breeding pigs far more room than mandated by the law.

CITRUS COUNTY CHRONICLE
Elf alert. I kid you not. Two so far in the space of a week. On Black Friday,
while others hit the stores, I was headed to my stor-age unit to retrieve Rudolph, our one lone lawn orna-ment. He had served Santa and us dutifully over the years. I needed to bring him home to await having our place pressure washed mid-week. Then his encore presence would be duly staked on our front lawn.
My dilemma became how to get him down from the high perch upon which he was placed eleven months ago. Then, as if by a wizard’s wand, a light bulb turned on, or was it Rudolph’s nose shining brightly through my foggy brain, and my answer came. Stop at the Storage office and ask for help.
As I drove up, a Happy Thanksgiving sign and dark-ened interior greeted me. Not today, I thought, while I tenta-tively tapped on the glass door. To my amazement, out emerged an elf, pointed ears, green cap and all. He smiled, a big, elfish smile. Sensing my surprise, he explained how elves do typi-cally mingle with humans this
time of year, usually at oppor-tune moments like this when they might sight a lady in dis-
tress, such as myself.He introduced
himself as “Sunny” at my service. When I explained my plight, how to get Rudolph off his ped-estal, Sunny con-firmed my unit number, dove into his elf golf cart, and said, “Meet you there in a jiffy.” And just as quickly, we opened the security gate, only to encoun-ter a roadblock. Two
muscular men had parked their truck, blocking my only access route. They stood there nonchalantly, appearing to want me to squeeze by. Sunny gave them one flash of his “less than sunny” looks, caus-ing them to jump in their truck and retreat to parts unknown.
From there, I opened my unit while Sunny insisted upon lifting the heavy metal door, then reaching upward and carefully placing Rudolph down on the ground. In retro-spect, I would have never been able to do this by myself. As for those two men? They sure weren’t Santa’s helpers.
Before I could express my gratitude for Rudolph being securely arranged in my back seat, Sunny had driven away,
perhaps on another errand of mercy. I thought this was the end of my elf encounters, but no. Another pointed ears, green capped elf followed me all around the grocery store, lifting anything remotely heavy, then unloading it at the cashier’s checkout. I was wait-ing for him to pull out an American Express card. But no luck there. He did get my car loaded up, then sped away, much like Sunny had.
My storybook ending has Rudolph on our lawn, with glittering lights shining brightly, a beacon of hope and good cheer to passersby in the coming weeks. Meantime, whether through elfin magic or random human acts of kind-ness, we can all find opportu-nities to help one another — reaching that upper shelf, or lifting that heavy object for someone too frail to manage.
Would we all pay it forward during this holiday season, what a wonderful world it would be!

Most people take it for granted the easy access they have to these amenities that grace the county. But it’s not so easy for mobili-ty-limited people like Bruce Titus.
Titus, a 24-year-old who grew up in Citrus County, was paralyzed from the chest down in 2016 after a car struck him from behind as he rode his bi-cycle down Citrus Avenue in Crystal River. That left him wheel-chair bound.
Although Titus is keenly adept at getting around in his wheelchair and doesn’t let the chair stop him from living his life to the fullest, the beach is still a challenge. And he loves the beach.
Titus is proactive and has a solution to the problem of rolling his chair through loose beach sand to get to the water. Beach-access mats allow a wheelchair to roll smoothly to the waterside without getting stuck in the sand. They are in use in a lot of other areas and beach re-sorts. And the cost of pur-chasing a mat is minimal — $1,500-$2,000 is what Titus estimates a Mobi-mat beach access mat would cost for use at Fort Island Gulf Beach.
The installation of an ADA-compliant beach access
mat would enable people with mobility limitations to access the water and tables. Titus has a great idea and he took it to the county. Parks & Recreation said the idea wasn’t feasible at this time because of staffing and bud-
getar y con-s t r a i n t s . Commissioner Ruthie Schla-bach likes the idea, calling it “brilliant,” and said she would like to pursue it and make it hap-pen. The one ca-veat, she said, is even if a commu-nity group raises money to buy and install the mat,
there is staff and storage is-sues. She said the mat can’t be kept out overnight be-cause it would get stolen.
Those issues seem easy to remedy: There is already a bathhouse at the beach and staff has to maintain it and unlock the bathrooms every morning and lock them at night. Cost is comparatively minimal. Might there be storage space in the bath-house? Might an affordable storage shed be purchased? All questions the county can consider when Titus pres-ents his idea to commissioners.
Titus has sparked interest in one commissioner. Hope-fully he can do the same with the others. His idea will ben-efit a lot of residents who have mobility problems and should be seriously consid-ered by the county commission.
THE ISSUE:A wheelchair-
bound man wants beach-access
mats installed.
OUR OPINION:County should find a way to
make this happen.
Server should show respect(Re the Monday, Dec. 6, Page A6
Sound Off): I’m responding to the “Sign of the times,” where the person said the waitress stood up in front of the entire restaurant and was complaining about their job and all this. I would have just stood up and said, “If you don’t like your job, why don’t you just leave and go somewhere else if you don’t need this job and quit complaining about it?” Or the owner should have addressed the person and said, “Look, you don’t need to speak like this in front of my custom-ers.” I’d like to know what restaurant that is so I don’t go to it.
State could buy Pirate’s Cove
Here is a plan to purchase Pirates Cove: It is called “The Return the Favor by the State of Florida Plan.” With the pur-chase by Citrus County of the Homo-sassa Springs Attraction some years past, it was carried as an asset on the books of the county until the state of Florida could establish Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park. The great state of Florida could return the years-past favor by Citrus County with the
purchase of Pirates Cove for the benefit of the citizens of Citrus County and the state of Florida. After the next elected BOCC, the state could give Citrus County the option to purchase to connect to the current Ozello park.
Trash coming from trash haulers
Recently passed by the dump the other day, as I am now, and all the trash is coming from the trash haulers. As they are leaving the dump, papers are flying out all over the place. I’m behind three of them right now and they’re dumping their stuff all over the road. It’s just blowing all over the place.
Gas cheaper in OcalaI was in Ocala today doing
some shopping and got gas for $2.86 a gallon. Citrus County is 42 to 50 cents higher in price.
Lights timed improperlyThe city of Inverness and Liberty Park
are beautiful attractions, especially at night when it’s lit. Unfortunately, city maintenance doesn’t seem to have the
timer for the lights to come on at an ap-propriate time. Here it is, 6:30, 6:45 and the city and Liberty Park is dark. Some-body in maintenance needs to set the timer for maybe 6 o’clock and have the lights come on and show this attractive town and what it has to offer.
Don’t blame the restaurantA person says that they should impose
a litter tax against all restau-rants that provide a drive-thru (in Tuesday, Dec. 7’s Page A11 Sound Off, “Impose a litter tax”). It’s not their fault that the papers are all over. It’s these people that are throwing out their trash. It’s thrown out of their pickup trucks and cars. Don’t blame the restaurants. It’s not their fault; it’s the peo-ple’s fault.
Driver deserves due justice, ticket
I’m coming down the road by the school doing 20 mph. … This gray car passes the stop sign coming out of the school going higher than 20 mph and I was behind this person at the light. They made a left onto (State Road) 44 and he
takes off, weaving in and out of traffic. Of course there’s no sheriff’s deputy pa-trolling. I hope there’s due justice and they get their ticket eventually. It’s called a stop sign; that means stop. Don’t shoot out in front of me. It means stop and proceed with caution.
Commission should stop spending willy-nilly
Citrus County taxpayers should expect better from their board of commission-ers. They should want oversight, not con-trol from them. Nature Coast EMS came to the board stating they were under-funded, and, with little research or dis-cussion, the board fired them. Could they have been facing bankruptcy be-cause of their underfunding? Because now our commissioners have taken over the EMS and the cost is skyrocketing, with the fire department wanting bigger and better. Unfortunately, unincorpo-rated communities in this county are paying as much or more than Inverness or CrystalRiver, with no representation or input. It’s time that our commissioners stop spending money willy-nilly.
Editor’s Note: Nature Coast EMS also had a rate structure for transporting patients. It’s a concept widely used across the nation.

‘I’ve got towns that are gone’
By BRUCE SCHREINER and DYLAN LOVANAssociated Press
MAYFIELD, Ky. — Workers on the night shift at May�eld Consumer Prod-ucts were in the middle of the holiday rush, cranking out candles, when a tornado closed in on the factory and the word went out: “Duck and cover.”
Autumn Kirks pulled down her safety goggles and took shelter, tossing aside wax and fragrance buckets to make room. She glanced away from her boyfriend, Lannis Ward, and when she looked back, he was gone.
On Sunday, he was among those feared dead in the rub-ble of the factory and else-where across the state.
Gov. Andy Beshear ini-tially warned Sunday that the state’s overall death toll from the outbreak of twist-ers Friday night in May-�eld and other communities could exceed 100. But later in the day, the candle com-pany said that while eight were con�rmed dead and eight remained missing, more than 90 others had been located.
“Many of the employees were gathered in the tor-nado shelter and after the storm was over they left the plant and went to their homes,” said Bob Ferguson, a spokesman for the com-pany. “With the power out and no landline they were hard to reach initially. We’re hoping to �nd more of those eight unaccounted as we try their home residences.”
The update raised hope that the toll from the twist-er outbreak wouldn’t be as high as �rst feared, and the governor said it would be “pretty wonderful” if orig-inal estimates were wrong.
Kentucky was the worst-hit state by far in an unusual mid-December swarm of twisters across the Midwest and the South that leveled entire communities and left at least 14 people dead in four other states.
Forty people who were in-side the candle factory were pulled out soon after the twister struck, authorities said. The number of people who had been in the factory was initially put at 110. Res-cuers had to crawl over the dead to get to the living at a disaster scene that smelled like scented candles.
But by the time churchgo-ers gathered Sunday morn-ing to pray for the lost, more than 24 hours had elapsed since anyone had been found alive in the wreck-age. Instead, crews recov-ered pieces of peoples’ lives – a backpack, a pair of shoes and a cellphone with 27 missed messages were among the items.
Layers of steel and cars 15 feet deep were on top of what used to the factory roof, the governor said.
“We’re going to grieve to-gether, we’re going to dig out and clean up together, and we will rebuild and move for-ward together. We’re going to get through this,” Beshear said. “We’re going to get through this together, be-cause that is what we do.”
Four twisters hit the state in all, including one with an extraordinarily long path of about 200 miles long, au-thorities said. The outbreak was all the more remarkable because it came at a time of year when cold weather normally limits tornadoes.
Eleven people were re-ported killed in and around Bowling Green alone.
“I’ve got towns that are gone, that are just, I mean gone. My dad’s hometown – half of it isn’t standing,” Breshear said of Dawson Springs.
He said that going door to door in search of victims is out of the question in the hardest-hit areas: “There are no doors.”
“We’re going to have over 1,000 homes that are gone, just gone,” the governor said.
With afternoon high tem-peratures forecast only in the 40s, tens of thousands of people were without power.
About 300 National Guard members went house to house, checking on people and helping to remove de-bris. Cadaver dogs searched for victims.
Kirks said she and her boyfriend were about 10 feet apart in a hallway when someone said to take cover. Suddenly, she saw sky and lightning where a wall had been, and Ward had vanished.
“I remember taking my eyes off of him for a second, and then he was gone,” she said.
Later, she got the terrible news – that Ward had been killed in the storm.
Kirks was at a ministry center where people gath-ered to seek information about the missing.
“It was indescribable,” Pastor Joel Cauley said of the disaster scene. “It was almost like you were in a twilight zone. You could smell the aroma of candles, and you could hear the cries of people for help. Candle smells and all the sirens is not something I ever expect-ed to experience at the same time.”
The outbreak also killed at least six people in Illinois, where an Amazon distribu-tion center in Edwardsville was hit; four in Tennessee; two in Arkansas, where a nursing home was destroyed and the governor said work-
ers shielded residents with their own bodies; and two in Missouri.
Debris from destroyed buildings and shredded trees covered the ground in May�eld, a city of about 10,000 in western Ken-tucky. Twisted sheet metal, downed power lines and wrecked vehicles lined the streets. Windows were blown out and roofs torn off the buildings that were still standing.
In the shadows of their crumpled church sanctuar-ies, two congregations in May�eld came together on Sunday to pray for those who were lost. Members of First Christian Church and First Presbyterian Church met in a parking lot sur-rounded by rubble, piles of broken bricks and metal.
“Our little town will nev-er be the same, but we’re resilient,” Laura McClen-don said. “We’ll get there, but it’s going to take a long time.”

States assess massive scale of devastation from storms
NATION & WORLD BRIEFSRain, snow fall as California braces for brunt of storm
The Western U.S. is brac-ing for the brunt of a ma-jor winter storm expected to hit Monday, bringing travel headaches, the threat of localized �ooding and some relief in an abnor-mally warm fall.
Light rain and snow fell in Northern California on Sunday, giving residents a taste of what’s to come. The multiday storm could drop more than 8 feet of snow on the highest peaks and drench other parts of California as it pushes south and east before mov-ing out midweek.
“This is a pretty wide-spread event,” said Nation-al Weather Service mete-orologist Anna Wanless in Sacramento. “Most of California, if not all, will see some sort of rain and snow.”
The precipitation will bring at least temporary relief to the broader re-gion that’s been gripped by drought caused by climate change. The lat-est U.S. drought monitor shows parts of Montana, Oregon, California, Neva-da and Utah in exceptional drought, which is the worst category.
Most reservoirs that de-liver water to states, cities, tribes, farmers and utilities rely on melted snow in the springtime.
Spanish island volcano eruption hits local record of 85 days
MADRID (AP) — A vol-canic eruption in Spain’s Canary Islands shows no sign of ending after 85 days, becoming the is-land of La Palma’s longest eruption on record Sunday.
The eruption has surged and ebbed since it �rst be-gan spewing lava on Sept. 19. It has since destroyed almost 3,000 local build-ings and forced several thousand people to aban-don their homes.
On Sunday, after several days of low-level activi-ty, the Cumbre Vieja vol-cano suddenly sprang to life again, producing loud explosions and blowing a vast cloud of ash high into the sky.
Scientists say volcanic eruptions are unpredict-able. Spanish experts had initially said the La Palma eruption could last up to three months.
G7 warns Russia of ‘massive’ consequences if Ukraine invaded
LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — The Group of Seven economic powers told Russia on Sunday to “de-escalate” its military
buildup near the Ukrainian border, warning that an in-vasion would have “mas-sive consequences” and in-�ict severe economic pain on Moscow.
Foreign ministers from the United States, Britain and the rest of the G-7, joined by the European Union’s foreign affairs chief, issued a joint state-ment declaring themselves “united in our condemna-tion of Russia’s military buildup and aggressive rhetoric towards Ukraine.”
The G-7 called on Rus-sia to “de-escalate, pursue diplomatic channels, and abide by its international commitments on transpar-ency of military activities,” and praised Ukraine’s “re-straint.”
“Any use of force to change borders is strictly prohibited under interna-tional law. Russia should be in no doubt that further military aggression against Ukraine would have mas-sive consequences and se-vere cost in response,” the statement said.
Russia’s movement of weapons and troops to the border region dominated weekend talks among for-eign ministers from the G-7 wealthy democracies in the English city of Liv-erpool.
The U.S. and it allies worry that the buildup could be precursor to an in-vasion, and have vowed to in�ict heavy sanctions on Russia’s economy if that happens.
As violence in Haiti spikes, aid groups struggle to help
P O RT- AU - P R I N C E , Haiti (AP) — A spike in violence has deepened hunger and poverty in Hai-ti while hindering the very aid organizations combat-ing those problems in a country whose government struggles to provide basic services.
Few relief workers are willing to speak on the re-cord about the cuts – per-haps worried about drawing attention following the Oc-tober kidnapping of 17 peo-ple from Ohio-based Chris-tian Aid Ministries – 12 of whom remain held hostage.
But several con�rmed, without giving details, that they had sent some staff out of the country and have been forced to temporarily cut back aid operations.
Gang-related kidnap-pings and shootings have prevented aid groups from visiting parts of the capital, Port-au-Prince, and be-yond where they had previ-ously distributed food, wa-ter and other basic goods.
A severe shortage of fuel also has kept agencies from operating at full capacity.
“It’s just getting worse in every way possible,” said Margarett Lubin, Haiti di-rector for CORE, a U.S. nonpro�t organization.

Changing of the guard possible in county
By CHRIS BERNHARDT JR.Staff writer
When Lecanto defeated Crys-tal River on Dec. 3, the Panthers handed the Pirates their �rst coun-ty loss in six seasons.
That outcome exhibited the po-tential power shift on the local girls basketball scene. Crystal River has had a tremendous run over the past �ve seasons, with two district titles, �ve regional appearances and two trips to the Elite Eight.
But the team’s top �ve scorers have all graduated from a crew that ended up 19-4 and went to the regional �nals. Guards Iiyana Edwards, a sophomore, and Jaylin DeVaughn, a junior, are the re-turnees who saw signi�cant play-ing time in 2020-21.
The Pirates will try to once
again advance out of their district, 4A-9 which also features Central, Hernando, Nature Coast, South
Sumter and Weeki Wachee.“After losing our entire start-
ing lineup from last year’s Elite
Eight team, we are in a rebuilding mode,” Crystal River head coach Charlies Bryant said. “This team
is young and inexperienced, but what they lack in experience they make up for with hard work and they are very coachable.
“Edwards and DeVaughn have been phenomenal with their leadership and are almost extra coaches on the court, talking their teammates up, boosting their con-�dence and helping them get up to speed with all that we like to do.
“The key for us this year is to improve as the season progresses and be a team that nobody wants to face when the district tour-nament comes around. We may not be the favorite or one of the favorites to win the district this year as we have been the last six years, but this team has the talent to make a run and compete for a district championship.”
Lecanto went 18-6 a season ago and made it to the Sweet 16 under Hall of Fame head coach Ron Allan, now in his 24th season at the helm.

Scott’s late shot puts Maryland over No. 20 Florida 70-68By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Donta Scott scored on a leaning shot in the post with 16.8 seconds left, No. 20 Florida missed its �nal-play 3-pointer, and Maryland beat the Gators 70-68 on Sunday night in the Basketball Hall of Fame Invi-tational.
Eric Ayala and Fatts Russell each scored 19 points for the Ter-rapins (6-4), who shot 49 percent and hit 8 of 13 3-pointers to snap a three-game skid. It also marked Maryland’s �rst win in two tries under interim coach Danny Man-ning, who took over Dec. 3 after the school announced Mark Tur-geon had stepped down in what it described as a mutual decision.
Maryland led by as many as sev-en with 6 1/2 minutes left before a tense �nish, with Florida’s Tyree Appleby going for the win on a
stepback 3-point attempt over a contesting Xavier Green. But the shot was long, with the ball hitting the back iron as the horn sounded.
“I loved the resiliency of our guys,” Manning said. “I thought there were times when things ar-en’t going our way. … But our guys found a way to stay together and they fought, and that gave us a chance.”
Appleby scored 15 points on �ve 3-pointers, including one against Russell with 1:14 left that pushed the Gators (7-3) to a 66-65 lead. Florida also got a tying layup from Anthony Duruji with 43.5 seconds left, setting up Scott’s tough shot against Myreon Jones in the post for the win.
Florida shot just 38 percent but scored 20 points off 15 Maryland turnovers. The Gators also got 15 points from Phlandrous Fleming Jr.
“We weren’t sharp enough de-fensively to guard a high-level backcourt like that the way they were playing,” Gators coach Mike White said of Ayala and Russell. “They were incredibly ef�cient. ... Our pressure overall did a good job on those guys collectively but I thought those guards handled it.”
BIG PICTUREFlorida: The Gators had a jar-
ring start to the week, losing at home to previously winless Texas Southern by 15. They rebounded with an easy home win Wednes-day against North Florida, though Florida was likely headed out of Monday’s new AP Top 25 poll be-fore this close loss.

Bucs blow big lead, win on big play
By FRED GOODALLAssociated Press
TAMPA, Fla. — A change of uniforms hasn’t affected Tom Brady’s mastery of the Buffalo Bills.
The 44-year-old quarter-back beat his former AFC East rivals for the 10th straight time Sunday, be-coming the NFL’s all-time completions leader and throwing his 700th touch-down pass for the winning score in Tampa Bay’s 33-27 overtime victory. The Buc-caneers are on the brink of their �rst division title in 14 years.
In his �rst game against the Bills since moving to Tampa Bay in 2020, Brady threw for 363 yards and two touchdowns with no inter-ceptions. He also scored on a quarterback sneak set up by the 7,143rd completion of an unmatched 22-year career that includes seven Super Bowl titles.
The Bucs (10-3) won it on Breshad Perriman’s 58-yard catch-and-run with 5:31 left in OT – the 700th TD pass of Brady’s career, including playoffs.
“It was pretty cool. I’d rather it not come down to that, but in the end they all count the same,” Brady said. “We’ve got to learn from it and move on. Next week we’re playing for a division championship and that’s pretty exciting.”
Despite blowing a 21-point halftime lead, the reigning Super Bowl champs won their fourth straight game to retain a four-game lead over New Orleans and Atlanta in the NFC South, which Tam-pa Bay hasn’t won since 2007.
“We did a three-and-out in overtime, and when you give No. 12 on the other side that opportunity, you
know, he has a chance to win the game at any time,” Bills center Mitch Morse said.
“It’s heartbreaking,” Buf-falo running back Devin Singletary added. “It’s the only way I can put it.”.
Brady, who ruled Buffa-lo and won 17 AFC East titles during a two-decade stint with the New England Patriots, improved to 33-3 against the Bills. He broke Drew Brees’ record for most completions in a career late in the second quarter and �nished 31 of 46 with no interceptions.
Josh Allen shrugged off a slow start to throw for 308 yards and two touchdowns for Buffalo. He also rushed for 109 yards and a TD, be-coming the fourth player in league history to throw for over 300 yards and also rush for 100-plus in the same game.
Allen also left Raymond James Stadium with his left foot in a walking boot. He will undergo tests on Mon-day, coach Sean McDermott said.
“Finished the game. I don’t think it’s going to be a big deal,” Allen said. “It’s
pretty sore. It’s football.”Since starting 4-1, the
Bills (7-6) had hardly re-sembled the team that won its �rst division title since 1995 and enjoyed its deep-est playoff run in 27 years before losing to Kansas City in the AFC championship game last January.
They are 3-5 over their last eight games and have lost two in a row for the �rst time this year, jeopardizing their playoffs hopes with four weeks remaining in the regular season.
The Bucs, who have won four straight on the heels on
a two-game skid, exposed the Bills offensively and de-fensively before Allen and the league’s No. 1 ranked defense got back on track after halftime.
Buffalo’s red-zone issues contributed to falling be-hind, with the offense set-tling for a �eld goal on a drive inside Tampa Bay’s 5 with the Bills trailing 10-0 in the second quarter.
A tendency to be over-ly reliant on Allen was a hindrance, too, with the absence early of a rushing attack that actually involved running backs. Buffalo ran
just four times for 43 yards in the opening half, with Al-len logging all the carries. The �rst rushing attempt by a running back came early in the third quarter, when Matt Breida took the snap on a fake punt and lost 3 yards on fourth-and-2 from the Bills 45.
Singletary’s �rst carry went for 29 yards on Buf-falo’s next possession, launching a long drive Allen �nished with an 18-yard TD run, making it 24-10. Turns out, the Bills quarterback

Mayfield, Browns survive Ravens’
rally minus JacksonCLEVELAND — Baker
Mayfield threw two touch-down passes, Myles Garrett scored his first career TD and the Cleveland Browns stayed in the thick of the playoff race, surviving Baltimore’s late comeback for a 24-22 win
over the Ravens, who lost superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson with an ankle injury.
Healthier than he’s been in weeks following Cleveland’s bye, Mayfield connected with Jarvis Landry and Austin Hooper on first-half scores as the Browns (7-6) bounced back and beat the Ravens (8-5) after losing to them 15 days ago.
Of course it helped that Jackson went out with a sprained right ankle sus-tained on the first play of the second quarter and didn’t return.

Cowboys deliver on coach’s
guarantee in winLANDOVER, Md. — Micah
Parsons sacked Taylor Heinicke twice and forced a fumble that was returned for a touchdown, helping the Dallas Cowboys make good on coach Mike McCarthy’s guarantee by holding on to beat Washington 27-20 and snap their rival’s winning streak at four.
Dallas led 24-0 and 27-8 before Kyle Allen replaced Heinicke and led a 73-yard TD drive and Cole Holcomb intercepted Dak Prescott and ran it back for a pick-6. Washington’s comeback bid came to an end when Allen fumbled with 2:24 remaining.
In the aftermath of McCar-thy saying, “We’re going to win this game — I’m confi-dent in that,” his team sput-tered late but took care of business.

LaVine, Brown give Bulls 9 in NBA health protocols
CHICAGO — Bulls star Zach LaVine and backup forward Troy Brown Jr. have entered the NBA’s health and safety pro-tocols, giving Chicago nine players on the list.
The team confirmed Sunday that LaVine and Brown joined leading scorer DeMar DeRozan, Matt Thomas, Coby White, Javonte Green, Derrick Jones Jr., Ayo Dosunmu and recently signed Stan-ley Johnson. That left the Bulls with nine available players. Teams need eight in order to play.
Chicago’s next game is against Detroit at home on Tuesday. LaVine and Brown both played in Saturday’s loss at Miami.
The resurgent Bulls were third in the Eastern Conference behind Brooklyn and Milwaukee at 17-10.
LaVine, a first-time All-Star last season and gold medal winner with the U.S. Olympic team, was seventh in the NBA in scoring at 26 points per game. He is av-eraging 5.3 rebounds and 4.2 assists.
Brown is averaging 4.3 points in 18 games.
Players in the health and safety proto-cols must be sidelined at least 10 days or record two negative tests in a 24-hour period before they can resume basket-ball activities.
Durant fined after swearing at Hawks fanNEW YORK — Brooklyn Nets forward
Kevin Durant has been fined $25,000 by the NBA for directing obscene language toward a fan during a game in Atlanta.
The fine was announced Sunday by Byron Spruell, the president of league operations.
It stems from an incident Friday night when a fan heckled at Durant with 28 seconds to go in the second quarter
of the Nets’ 113-105 victory over Hawks. In video taken courtside that was posted on social media, an off-camera fan can be heard yelling, “Durant, stop crying!” before Durant responds using multiple expletives.
Durant scored 31 points, including the go-ahead jumper midway through the fourth quarter, in the win.
Kokrak, Na birdie 12 of last 13 holes to earn win NAPLES — Jason Kokrak and Kevin
Na birdied 12 of their last 13 holes Sun-day in fourballs and closed with a 12-under 60 to rally from at three-shot deficit and win the QBE Shootout.
Kokrak and Na were five shots behind after a bogey on the par-3 fifth hole when they ran off nine straight birdies, seven of them by Na. And then it was Kokrak’s turn down the stretch, and he finished off the one-shot victory with a 6-foot birdie putt.
Four teams had a chance to win over the final two holes. Kokrak blasted a drive down the fairway and had wedge he hit into 6 feet below the cup. His final birdie staked the team to a two-shot lead, meaning the last two teams behind them had to hole out from the fairway to force a playoff.
Billy Horschel chipped in for birdie from near the water hazard as he and Sam Burns shot 61 to finish one shot be-hind. Horschel and Burns did not have a score worse than 62 all week.
Marc Leishman and Jason Day, who opened with a 56 and led all week, couldn’t keep pace. Leishman made a 10-foot eagle putt on the par-5 17th to get within one shot, but then Kokrak in the group ahead made birdie and the Australian duo had to settle for par. They shot 65 and tied for third with defending champions Harris English and Matt Kuchar, who closed with a 62.

Changes cause uncertaintySteve Megargee
AP sports writer
There is no doubt the arrival of an early signing period in college foot-ball recruiting has affected the timing of coaching changes. We are about to find out if the reverse is also true.
Ever since the recruiting calendar changed in 2017, nearly all high school prospects have opted to final-ize their college plans in December rather than waiting for the traditional February signing date.
That trend is being put to the test this year.
Over 20% of Football Bowl Subdivi-sion programs have changed coaches since the start of the season, which means the early signing period will begin Wednesday as plenty of verbally committed prospects and their new coaches are still getting to know one another.
One of those new coaches — Flori-da’s Billy Napier — says he’s going to take a cautious approach this week while looking toward February.
“The reality is you’re getting in the game and there’s like three minutes left in the fourth quarter,” Napier said during his introductory news conference. “I think the last thing we need to do here is make some mis-takes. I wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t sign many at all, to be honest with you.”
Recruiting analysts are skeptical that more signings end up taking place in February.
Adam Gorney, national recruiting director at Rivals, said 80-85% of FBS recruits generally sign in December and it shouldn’t be far off that mark this time.
“With all the coaching changes, it might be a tick less, but it should be around that number somewhere,” Gorney said.
Steve Wiltfong, director of football recruiting for 247Sports, said he also doesn’t expect much of a difference — aside from more decommitments than usual.
Twenty-eight of the nation’s 130 FBS schools made coaching changes this year. According to NCAA data, there have been only two years since 1947 that featured more than 28 coaching changes.
Wiltfong notes that the desire to have new staffs in place before the December signing period caused many schools to act early in firing coaches. The Big Ten was the only Power Five conference that hadn’t an-nounced a coaching change by mid-November.
“The early signing period has defi-nitely had an impact on that,” Wilt-fong said. “You probably (otherwise) would have seen coaches still would have gotten to finish the season be-fore they were let go Thanksgiving weekend.”
Coaching changes hit programs that produced seven of the top 12 classes in the last signing period, according to composite rankings of recruiting sites compiled by 247Sports: LSU, Or-egon, Southern California, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Miami and Florida.
Those seven schools all filled their vacancies within the last two weeks, leaving prospects little time to decide whether to stick with commitments. Some have changed their minds.
Several prospects have withdrawn verbal commitments to Oregon since Miami hired away Mario Cristobal. The most notable one was offensive tackle Kelvin Banks, the nation’s No. 15 overall recruit according to the 247Sports Composite. Banks has since committed to Texas.
USC hired Lincoln Riley away from Oklahoma on Nov. 28. Oklahoma hired Brent Venables a week later. In that brief time, the Sooners’ 2022 recruiting class has lost four top-150 prospects in defensive line-men Gabriel Brownlow-Dindy (16th) and Derrick Moore (79th), running back Raleek Brown (33rd) and line-backer Kobie McKinzie (144th). Brownlow-Dindy is now committed to Texas A&M, Brown to USC and McK-inzie to Texas.
No wonder Venables spent part of his introductory news conference em-phasizing the need to secure the rest of that class.
“My No. 1 goal is to get on the road recruiting, make sure that this ’22 class that’s due to enroll here in the next few weeks is where it needs to be, and then all the while in be-tween visits, visiting with our current players,” Venables said.
Players aren’t the only ones facing major decisions. Coaches also must learn more about the prospects they inherited, which explains Napier’s approach toward the early signing period.
“For me, I think it’s important in re-cruiting that both sides understand each other and have had time to build relationships, to have conversations, to know who’s going to coach them, to fully understand what the plan is,” Napier said. “I think it goes both ways in that regard. I think it’s an injustice to them and an injustice to us to all of a sudden just hurry up and elope here right at the last second.”
Napier is replacing the fired Dan Mullen, who was criticized for the lack of star power in Florida’s 2022 recruiting class.
Gorney said Napier and new LSU coach Brian Kelly both seem intent on reshaping the recruiting classes they inherited, which could keep them busy up until February.
“It feels like everybody that Dan Mullen was involved with, (Napier’s) not going to be all that interested in,” Gorney said. “There might be some that remain, but a lot of those kids are looking elsewhere. Florida might be one of those situations and LSU might be one of those situations where a lot of those kids wait until February just because Napier and Brian Kelly have come in there and sort of decided to go in different directions in a lot of places.”
Napier was pretty open about how he is approaching putting together his recruiting class under these unusual circumstances.
“You can expect us to be very con-servative, very patient, trying to posi-tion ourselves for post-signing day to evaluate all the players who are left over, all the players who are in the transfer portal,” Napier said. “And then when we do have our entire staff and organization put together, posi-tion ourselves for some really strong weekends in January and then try to close strong in February.”
The question is how many top pros-pects will still be unsigned by then.

The Panthers did graduate two of their best players in Trinity Keegan and Cyn-thia Homs. Seniors Peyton Spaulding and Abcydee Rome have been top scorers for Lecanto so far, and ju-nior Caitlyn McAboy is the leading rebounder.
“The team has to devel-op chemistry between new starters and role players as the season progresses,” Al-lan said. “We will have to develop our identity on of-fense and defense.”
Citrus is in District 5A-5 with Lecanto, as is Bel-leview, Lake Weir, Leesburg, Springstead and Vanguard. Richard Archambault is in his �rst year as head coach for the Hurricanes and must improve upon a 1-20 record last season.
Junior guard Jill Landgraf is averaging over 20 points per game to lead Citrus.
“Looking forward to see-ing these girls rebuild and get better this season,” Ar-chambault said.
Seven Rivers Christian was a district runner-up and made a regional appearance last season, �nishing at 12-8. Head coach Gary Dreyer, in his 10th season, has gotten big production
out of freshman Joy Sullivan and senior Mckayla Smith.
“Overall, we are a young team, including six mid-dle schoolers, but the girls have been working hard and we expect our experienced high school players to help lead our younger players navigate a varsity season,” Dreyer said. “We anticipate being competitive this sea-son, especially in the FH-SAA district and the SSAC Conference.”

Miami gets past FordhamBy THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Charlie Moore scored 18 points and Miami made six free throws in the closing minute to edge Fordham 72-66 at the Barclays Center on Sunday.
Isaiah Wong added 17 points and Kamer-on McGusty 15 for the Hurricanes (8-3), who chose to play at the home of the New York Nets because the Atlantic Coast Con-ference tournament will be there in March.
McGusty had a critical three-point play with 1:46 to go after Fordham’s Kam’ron Cunningham hit a pair of 3-pointers to cut a 10-point Miami lead to 63-59.
It was 66-61 heading into the �nal minute but McGusty, Jordan Miller and Moore were clutch at the line, where the ‘Canes �nished 15 of 19, 10 of 11 in the second half.
Chuba Ohams led the Rams (7-5) with 15 points, Antonio Daye added 13 and Darius Quisenberry 12.
South Carolina 66, Florida State 65ROCK HILL, S.C. — James Reese V
and Devin Carter combined for 23 sec-ond-half points and South Carolina over-came a 16-point de�cit to edge Florida State 66-65.
Carter’s bucket with three minutes left gave the Gamecocks (7-2) the lead for good and they held on when Malik Os-borne missed a wide-open 3-pointer at the buzzer.
Carter �nished with 16 points and a team-high seven rebounds. Reese add-ed 13 points with three 3-pointers and Wildens Leveque had 10 points. The Gamecocks were without second-leading scorer Jermaine Cousinard (12.1), who was dealing with an ankle injury. He has missed two of the Gamecocks’ last three games with injuries.
Osborne led the Seminoles (5-4), who lost their third straight, with 15 points with three 3-pointers plus nine rebounds. Caleb Mills added 13 points.
No. 2 Baylor 57, No. 6 Villanova 36WACO, Texas — James Akinjo had
16 points with seven rebounds and sec-ond-ranked Baylor defensively dominated No. 6 Villanova 57-36 on Sunday, a vic-tory that’s likely to put the defending na-tional champion Bears in the top spot in the new poll.
The Bears (9-0) never trailed in their �rst nonconference home game ever against
a top-six opponent, this one a rematch of an NCAA Sweet 16 game last March in Indianapolis. This Big East/Big 12 Battle matchup featured the teams that won three of the last �ve NCAA titles.
Villanova (7-3) shot only 22 percent (12 of 54) and had several extended scor-ing droughts while being held to its few-est points in 689 games under coach Jay Wright, who is in his 21st season.
No. 1 Purdue 82, North Carolina State 72, OT
NEW YORK — Trevion Williams had a season-high 22 points to go with 12 rebounds and a career-best nine assists to help Purdue rally past North Carolina State in overtime in the Basketball Hall of Fame Invitational.
Jaden Ivey added 22 points for the Boil-ermakers (9-1), who had to rally from 13 down midway through the second half. Purdue never led in regulation, taking its �rst lead Sasha Stefanovic’s 3-pointer 15 seconds into the extra period.
No. 16 Southern California 73, Long Beach State 62
LOS ANGELES — Isaiah Mobley had 21 points and 12 rebounds, and Southern California pulled away at the beginning of the second half on its way to beating Long Beach State.
The Trojans (10-0) continued their best start since the 2016-17 season, when they opened 14-0. Drew Peterson added 15 points and Max Agbonkpolo had 11 points for USC, and Mobley had his fourth dou-ble-double in �ve games.
Joel Murray led Long Beach State (3-7) with 14 points. Colin Slater added 12 points and Romelle Mansel had 10 points, including three dunks in the second half, and seven rebounds.
No. 17 Iowa State 47, Jackson State 37
AMES, Iowa — T.J. Otzelberger became the �rst Iowa State coach to win his �rst 10 games with the team, guiding the Cy-clones past Jackson State.
Aljaz Kunc led Iowa State (10-0) with 12 points and Gabe Kalscheur added 11.
Jonas James scored 11 points for Jack-son State (2-7).
was just getting started.Allen moved his team
within striking distance with TD passes of 15 yards to Dawson Knox and 4 yards to Gabriel Davis, trimming the de�cit to 27-24 with just under �ve minutes remaining in regu-lation.
Buffalo got the ball back with 3:05 left and put to-gether a 70-yard drive to
force overtime with a 25-yard �eld goal in the closing seconds.
INJURIESBills: WR Emmanuel
Sanders (knee) was hurt in the �rst half and did not re-turn. ... Reserve RB Taiwan Jones (knee) was hurt in the �rst quarter.
Buccaneers: They played without S Jordan White-head, inactive for the sec-ond straight week with a calf injury. ... RB Giovani Bernard (hip) sat out the
second half. CB Jamel Dean (illness) also didn’t play af-ter halftime.
UP NEXTBills: host Carolina on
Sunday. They’ll play three of four games against oppo-nents that currently have a losing record.
Buccaneers: Tampa Bay can clinch its �rst NFC South crown since 2007 when its hosts three-time defending division champ New Orleans next Sunday night.

Annie offers adviceDear Annie: I have a lov-
ing daughter, and I re-spect her husband
greatly. I have visited from across the country countless times. I am 84, and they have two grown children. Everyone is happy when we are to-gether. The only issue as far as I’m concerned is that the hubby, although generous and kind, is overly domineering, border-ing on being a tyrant , and a n u t a b o u t manag-i n g things,
e s p e -c i a l l y e l e c -tronics.
On a recent visit of mine, my daughter mentioned that he had installed cameras in sev-eral places in their house be-cause I was there. It was supposedly so he can see the entryways to their home from his cellphone for security pur-poses. He installed them, however, so that he can both see and hear virtually every-thing that goes on in their house. He has even called her from his office a few times to say, “What room are you in? I can’t see you.” She is about the most hardworking and honest and kindest woman a man could ever expect. He is a successful and important provider. They have never had any marital conflict about cheating or anything. She has no way of knowing whether his snooping gadgets are on or off.
She says that it’s his thing and that there’s no use in fighting about it. However, it disgusts me, and I don’t think I will be able to visit their home again if I’m being moni-tored. It’s not moral or proper. It’s an invasion of privacy.
Should I mention this to him or just stop going there? He would probably be grossly offended, seeing as he is al-legedly “the master of the house.” Not seeing them would be devastating to me because my daughter is my closest living relative and I love her dearly. We have never had a real argument since the day she was born. — Loving Gramps Needs Advice
Dear Loving Gramps: I agree with you that all that surveillance seems a bit creepy. If this is part of a larger pattern of controlling behavior, it could indicate emotional abuse. (Call The National Domestic Violence Hotline, at 800-799-7233, for guidance.) But unless and until your daughter comes to you with such concerns, there’s not much you can do. Why not invite them over to your house rather than create a conflict in their marriage where there may be none?
Dear Annie: I have two grandsons in the military, and I am very proud of them. Each Christmas, I send each a card and a nice check. One I hear from as soon as he opens his mail, but I don’t hear at all from the other. The first year, I reminded the parents sev-eral times before I received a very nice thank-you letter. This past year, I said nothing and received no thank-you. This year, I want to cut him off (to get his attention) and then give him another chance next year. What advice would you offer me in this situation? — Wisconsin Grandpa
Dear Wisconsin Grandpa: You shouldn’t have to jump through hoops trying to train your grandchildren to write thank-you notes. This year, do only as much as you feel in-clined to do. Perhaps send a card but no check so he knows you’re thinking of him and you’re not thinking of him re-sentfully afterward.
To the grandchildren read-ing this, let this be a reminder of just how much a simple thank-you note means.

BridgePhillip Adler
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
How many young bridge stars are there? Very few, which is a powerful indication that the game is not being taught in schools. But one wunder-kind is 13-year-old Nicolai Hei-berg-Evenstad from Norway. Earlier this year, partnering his father, Stian, he finished second in the Norwegian Open Pairs Championship. He is the
youngest-ever Danish medal-winner in an open event. (The winners were Christian Bakke and Tor Evind Grude, who are in their 20s.)
This deal was reported by Knut Kjaernsrod. How did Heiberg- Evenstad play in four hearts after West led a club?
North’s three-club advance showed heart support with at least game-invitational strength. (In North America, this would be a mixed raise, showing 6-9 high-card points, four-card support and nine losers — exactly what North has! The Ka-plan-Rubens evaluator rates this hand at 8.4 points.)
Given that declarer has three spade losers, at first glance it seems that he must find the diamond queen to make his contract. But Heiberg- Evenstad showed that that wasn’t the case.
He ruffed the opening lead, played a heart to the king, ruffed another club, cashed the heart ace, led a heart to the nine and ruffed the last club.
With his preparations complete, declarer cast adrift with a spade. After taking three tricks in that suit, the defender on lead was endplayed. He could either shift to a diamond, finding the queen for declarer, or lead a black card, when Hei-berg-Evenstad would have sluffed a diamond from his hand and ruffed on the board.

Verstappen wins 1st F1 titleBy JENNA FRYERAP Auto Racing Writer
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emir-ates — The most dramatic Formula One season in years should have end-ed with Max Verstappen’s champion-ship-deciding pass of Lewis Hamil-ton on the �nal lap of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
The conclusion instead came nearly �ve hours after Verstappen became the �rst Dutch champion in F1 history, when the FIA denied a pair of protests lodged by Mercedes over the contro-versial �nish of Sunday’s race.
But the messy affair still isn’t over: Mercedes �led for reconsideration to the International Court of Appeal, turning in the paperwork as Hamilton left Yas Marina Circuit without com-menting.
“Not much really to say about that. I think it also sums up a little bit the season,” Verstappen said hours earlier as the FIA heard Mercedes’ two pro-tests.
Hamilton had a record eighth cham-pionship ripped away with �ve laps remaining when a crash by Nicholas Lati� triggered the safety car and gave race director Michael Masi a decision. The season-ending race and champi-onship could be decided under yellow, or, the track could be cleaned for one �nal lap of racing.
Hamilton had been on cruise control and dominated Sunday after surging past pole-sitter Verstappen at the start. He led 51 of the 58 laps and was min-utes away from breaking a tie with Michael Schumacher for an eighth title that would strengthen his case as best in F1 history.
The decision by Masi to go green with a lap to go allowed Verstappen to pass Hamilton in turn �ve – Hamilton got a good look at the lead in turn nine but couldn’t complete the move – in a stunning conclusion to a title �ght that will go down as one of the best ever.
Verstappen and Hamilton arrived in Abu Dhabi tied in the standings after 21 races across four continents, the �rst time since 1974 the contenders were level ahead of the �nale. The ri-vals went wheel-to-wheel all season, crashing three times with Verstappen sent to the hospital after a collision at Silverstone.
It made for a bitter feud between Mercedes and Red Bull that intensi-�ed this high-stakes and sometimes chaotic title �ght. It was compelling action every week, on-and-off track drama likened to the epic champion-ship battles of James Hunt and Niki Lauda in 1976, and Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost in 1990.
Hamilton, winner of three straight races coming into the �nale to even the �ght, had this one in hand and knew it until the Lati� crash. Whatev-er Hamilton said over his radio when Lati� brought out the safety car was replayed only as one long bleep to cover his expletives.
Masi controversially settled to re-sume racing with one �nal lap — the only chance for Red Bull, which lob-bied to go back to green. Verstappen chased Hamilton through the �rst four turns, made his pass in �ve and at last achieved his childhood dream.
Verstappen and Red Bull celebrated in a champagne soak, he received hugs from his fellow competitors – includ-ing Hamilton and Hamilton’s father – and made his way to the DJ stand to jump wildly up and down to the music. The “Orange Army” of Dutch fans erupted in joy and �red off their traditional orange �ares. The fans also chanted Lati�’s name in appreciation as they exited the circuit.
“My goal when I was little was to become a Formula One driver and to go for wins, to be on the podium,” said Verstappen. “When they play the na-tional anthem, you want it to be yours, and when you stand here and they tell you that you are the world champion, it’s something incredible and special.”

Predators win fifth straightBy THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Rookie forward Philip Tomasino scored early in the second period and Juuse Saros made 32 saves for his sec-ond shutout of the season as the Nashville Predators beat the New York Rang-ers 1-0 on Sunday night.
The Predators have won �ve straight, including a sweep of the three New York area teams over a four-day stretch. They beat the Islanders 4-3 on Thursday night and New Jersey 3-2 on Friday night.
Saros had six saves in the �rst period, 10 in the second and 16 in the third to pick up his 16th career shutout.
Alexandar Georgiev had 23 saves for the Rangers, who lost for the second time in three games and just the third in the last 15.
Ducks 3, Blues 2, OTST. LOUIS — Troy Ter-
ry scored his second goal of the game on a penalty shot in overtime to lift Anaheim.
Scott Perunovich was called for slashing with just over a minute re-maining in the extra peri-od, giving Terry a penalty shot. He beat �fth-string goalie Jon Gillies on a backhander at 3:58 for his team-leading 17th goal of the season.
