Lack of rain closes water structures
With minimal rainfall over the past few days, lake levels are not rising like they were before.
That prompted the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) on Friday to close the water control structures it opened Mon-day to release excess water from the Inverness and Hernando pools in the Tsala Apopka chain-of-lakes, according to Mark Fulkerson, the water district’s chief pro-fessional engineer.
The National Weather Service (NWS) is fore-casting a 30% chance of afternoon scattered showers and thunder-storms Saturday for Cit-rus County. The chances go up to 50% Sunday and 60% Monday.
The underground aqui-fer remains far above the normal for this time of year. It is in the 81 per-centile, compared to 52% this time last year.
Aquifers are under-ground layers of rock and sand that hold water. In southwest Florida, more than 80% of the water supply comes from aquifers.

KEY TRAINING CENTER 101
MATTHEW BECK/Chronicle fileMatt Gosse, left, and Jason Sergeant, sing in a rousing finale to a production of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast in 2019. More than 70 individuals from the Key Training Center took part in the production. The Key Center caters to the needs of developmentally disabled adults through adult day training programs, group housing and many other essential programs.
NANCY KENNEDYStaff writer
In its 55th year, the Key Training Cen-ter has served as a beacon of hope for families of developmentally disabled adults, providing employment and friendship, education and fun, dignity and a place to live.
As the annual Run for the Money gets set to begin Monday, for those who are not familiar with the Key, here is a brief history and general rundown of what the nonprofit organization is all about.
In the beginningThe Key Training Center started from
an ARC group, Association for Retarded Citizens, formed by Harry and Elsie Van Nortwick who had a developmentally disabled daughter.
The Van Nortwicks and a small group of parents and interested citizens dreamed
of a safe, nurturing place for loved ones with developmental disabilities, a place that would provide opportunities for peo-ple who were often underserved.
In 1967, the Key Training Center school and workshop, built on the 40-acre prop-erty in Lecanto donated by Mr. and Mrs. Schuyler Orvis, was dedicated and served seven clients.
As more parents learned of the Key, the organization grew, with the first on-campus group home, Franklin Cottage, opening in 1977, followed by Spooner Cottage in 1980 and continuing on to today with group homes and

Reports detail animal cruelty caseBUSTER THOMPSON
Staff writer
When a Citrus County Sheriff ’s Office deputy stepped inside a Homosassa home to assist in a re-cent animal cruelty investigation, the odor of surrounding urine and
feces consumed him.“… To the point I could not open
my eyes or take a full breath due to my nose, mouth and lungs burn-ing,” Deputy Donald Hunter wrote in his Wednesday, July 14, arrest reports for the homeown-ers, couple Tabitha and Christine
Iverson, ages 51 and 42.Hunter turned to a girl he found
lying on a urine-soaked couch in the living room, and asked her how she could tolerate the smell.
“It’s OK, I’m used to it,” replied the girl, whose age was redacted in Hunter’s report, which the
Chronicle obtained Friday.During his tour of the house on
the 6300 block of West Green Acres Street, Hunter went on to document floors layered with pools and piles of excrement, which saturated nearby clothing.

Task force raises issues with new curriculumJOHN HAUGHEYThe Center Square
The Florida Board of Educa-tion (BOE) Wednesday adopted K-12 civics curriculum that re-quires students be taught the “philosophical underpinnings of the American Republic” and “the root cause of American exceptionalism.”
The seven-member board with
little comment unanimously ad-opted new standards in teaching civics, the Holocaust, character education, substance use and abuse that explicitly bans critical race theory.
The standards were introduced in May by Florida Education Com-missioner Richard Corcoran at the behest of Gov. Ron DeSantis, who was on hand with First Lady Casey DeSantis at the board’s
Wednesday meeting at St. Peters-burg College.
“Whatever pathway you choose, you have to be able to discharge the duties of being a citizen. So this civics education is univer-sally applicable, regardless of what field you go into, regardless of what you do in your life once you leave Florida’s education sys-tem,” DeSantis said.
Cheered on by “America First”
supporters, the governor said bol-stering civics beyond one middle school class and one high school class has been a priority since tak-ing office in January 2019.
“We’ve got to do a much better job teaching people about the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, all these important things,” DeSantis said. “I’m excited about what we’re doing.”

instructor Laura DiPitro on Tuesday, March 9, at the city of Inverness garden. Individuals from the Key Center are now
working regularly in the garden tending to plants, herbs and vegetables.

The Florida Wildlife Corri-dor Coalition (FWCC) will trek through Citrus County on their next filmmaking expedition, dubbed “Spring to Shore,” from July 21 to 24. This time, three of Florida’s youths will tag along.
FWCC’s goal is to raise awareness and support for the protection of Florida’s 18 mil-lion acre net-work of habitat connections, or corridors, that bridge to-gether ecosys-tems otherwise separated by human civili-zation. They do so via storytell-ing, film, pho-t o g r a p h y , expeditions and other creative avenues.
“This is the first film where we’re actually taking kids with us,” FWCC communications di-rector Nicole Brand said. “We’re now enlisting a younger generation.”
The group will also be joined by filmmaker Jennifer Adler.
Trekkers will make their way from the Rainbow Springs to the Gulf of Mexico to showcase important elements of this corridor.
“There’s so much diversity to be found,” said Jason Laurit-sen, FWCC executive director.
“What we aim to do is to shed light on communities like this who sustain and who are sustained by the ecosystem,”
Lauritsen said. “We’re all linked.”
The expedi-tion will also focus on the corridor’s “bot-tleneck,” which is threatened by the urban-ization of Cit-rus and Marion counties. “It’s a very small space between two biodiverse areas,” Brand said. “That link is necessary.”
If that bottleneck disappears, Lauritsen said, “Wildlife are forced into communities.”
Rather than making a new connection, he said, “It’s pre-serving the connection that currently exists.”
The FWCC will release the film from the Spring to Shore expedition in 2022, which will be free and available to the public online, Brand said.
Past expeditions and their
corresponding films include the 2012 Everglades to Okefe-nokee expedition and film, “100 Miles in 100 Days,” the 2015 Glades to Gulf expedition and “The Forgotten Coast,” the 2018 Heartland to Headwaters expedition and “The Last Green Thread” and the 2019 Ranch to Ridge expedition and film, “The Wild Divide.”
Meet the Spring to Shore youth trekkersMallori Grey, 16, rising high
school junior:Grey plays volleyball and flag
football for Lecanto High School and takes dancing, act-ing, singing and tumbling classes at Sharper Image Dance Studio.
“Besides the athletic part of my life, I also have a passion for animals and environmental sci-ence,” Grey told the FWCC. “I especially love learning about sharks and their different be-havioral patterns.”
Grey attended the Coastal
Camp Citrus at the Marine Sci-ence Station, where she said she had an impactful experi-ence with sea turtles. Watching them in their natural habitat, she said, “made me come to the realization that I have to do my part to help keep our waters clean and healthy.”
Ava Moody, 14, rising high school freshman:
“I consider myself an adven-turous person,” Moody told the FWCC. “Moving to Homosassa in fifth-grade shifted me from busy urban life in Pasco County to beautiful rivers, natural springs, salt marshes, coastal hammocks and so much more here in Citrus County.”
Moody attended the Coastal Camp Citrus at the Marine Sci-ence Station three times and became SCUBA certified. She also enjoys kayaking and said she always has a book by her side.
Marin Best, 14, rising high school freshman:
Best said she likes school, biking, hiking and surfing. “I enjoy being outside and explor-ing the creeks around my house and looking for sharks’ teeth with my siblings and friends,” Best told the FWCC.
Best also said she loves snorkeling.
“Being able to watch every-thing under the water, even lit-tle fish and crabs or the way the grasses move in the tide or cur-rent, is really beautiful and fas-cinating to see,” she said.

Motorist OK after vehicle strikes treeBUSTER THOMPSON
Staff writer
A motorist appeared to be OK the morning of Friday, July 16, after his car traveled into woods along a Lecanto roadway and struck a tree, which almost split the front of his vehicle in half.
According to Citrus County
Sheriff ’s Office deputies at the crash scene off of westbound lanes of State Road 44, east of its intersection with Homosassa Trail, the older man may have suffered from a medical episode while driving a tan Ford Crown Victoria north on Homosassa Trail.
Deputies said this led the man
to drive through a red light at the intersection and travel into the wood line at a high rate of speed before his car was stopped by a tree.
Another deputy driving nearby witnessed the crash and re-sponded to help treat the injured man.
Crews with Nature Coast EMS
and Citrus County Fire Rescue worked to extricate the trapped man, using the Jaws of Life to peel back obstructing metals. Deputies said the man was talking with emergency responders.
Deputies closed the outside lane of S.R. 44 to traffic while they investigated the crash and waited for a tow truck.

ENTERTAINMENTPlenty at stake for NBC as Olympics opening looms
NEW YORK — If all goes well for NBC Universal over the next several weeks, Americans will be buzzing about the Olympic performances of Simone Biles, Gabby Thomas, Kevin Durant or some unexpected star.
The year-delayed Tokyo Olympics officially opens with NBC’s tele-cast of the opening cere-mony on July 23 — live in the morning and with an edited version in prime time.
The Olym-pics arrive dripping in bad vibes, amid a COVID-19 state of emer-gency in Japan. The majority of Japanese citi-zens are un-vaccinated against the virus and most wish the Olympics weren’t taking place this summer. Most events will occur in near-empty venues. Star sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson was kicked off the U.S. team after a positive mari-juana test, and the U.S. men’s basketball team suffered embar-rassing exhibition losses to Nige-ria and Australia.
Yet once the competition be-gins, NBC is banking on a COVID-weary United States to embrace the Games.
“I really believe that people are craving a shared experience after all we’ve been through,” said Molly Solomon, executive
producer of NBC’s Olympics coverage.
If you miss anything, it won’t be NBC’s fault. More than 7,000 hours of Olympics coverage will be offered, on NBC, cable out-lets like USA and NBCSN, on NBCOlympics.com and the Pea-cock streaming service, on Twitch, Twitter and Snap.
The length of COVID’s shadow is difficult to predict.
While the International Olym-pic Committee gave the go-ahead for the Games, it’s hard to fathom that NBC Universal, which is paying $7.75 billion to broadcast the Olympics between 2022 and 2032, didn’t make its voice heard. Mike Wise didn’t exempt NBC when he called it “one of the most brazen, hubris-over-humanity cash grabs in modern history” in a Washing-ton Post column this week.
NBC News anchor Lester Holt will report during the open-ing ceremonies about the COVID-19 concerns and restric-tions placed on participants.
“You would hope that (NBC) would be willing to, as much as it is feasible, step out of the
Olympics bub-ble and talk to everyday peo-ple in Japan to hear their thoughts,” said Jules Boykoff, a Pacific Univer-sity professor and author of “Power Games: A Political His-tory of the Olympics,” who has been critical of the decision to proceed with the games.
NBC’s prime-time coverage will almost exclusively be de-voted to swimming and diving, track and field, gymnastics and beach volleyball, as it has in the past. There will be some excep-tions, like gold medal games in men’s and women’s basketball.
That lack of variety is less a point of contention than it used to be, since there are other out-lets for competition. The time dif-ference — Tokyo is 13 hours ahead of the Eastern United States, 16 hours ahead of the West — means limited opportu-nity for live coverage in the evening.

Numerous litter boxes scat-tered throughout were overflow-ing, Hunter noted, and the cats didn’t appear to have access to food or water.
Also within the residence, of-ficers with the sheriff ’s Animal Control Unit discovered 21 dogs, 27 cats, six bird species, five rab-bits, a gopher tortoise and a chicken.
In the kitchen and living room, 13 dogs were caged among their own waste. Many of the an-imals were suffering from open sores.
A dog authorities found living in a shower was malnourished to the point it couldn’t stand. It died on its way to get veterinary treatment, Hunter wrote in his reports.
Outside on the property, au-thorities discovered five chick-ens, three ducks, two roosters, two turkeys, two goats and a pig. Hunter wrote the coops were full of droppings, and the pig had severe hair loss.
According to their arrest
reports, Tabitha and Christine Iverson told the deputy they’ve lived on the property for roughly 7 years, accumulating their ani-mals since and before then.
They said it became over-whelming within the last year to care for their pets and livestock, and knew the animals were suf-fering but didn’t take them to a veterinarian.
Hunter arrested the Iversons after speaking with them. They face 61 counts of aggravated an-imal cruelty, 13 counts of misde-meanor animal cruelty and a felony charge of child neglect.
A judge kept the Iversons’ bond at $137,000 during their first court appearances Friday morning, records show, and their arraignments were sched-uled for Aug. 9.
Court records show the judge
also ordered the Iversons to no longer own animals.
Authorities seized a total of 84 animals from the Iversons’ prop-erty, leading to an overcrowding at the Citrus County Animal Shelter (CCAS), which closed Thursday to the public.
According to prior reports, the
Iversons signed custody of their animals over to the county, pre-venting the need for the county to seek ownership through the courts.
Ownership means the county can adopt out the animals once the court cases clear.
Shelter services will be
available by appointment only through Saturday, July 24. To make an appointment, call 352-746-8400 or email colleen. [email protected].
CCAS is urgently seeking adopters, fosters and rescuers to reduce the existing population of animals in their care to make room for the confiscated animals.
Adoption fees continue to be waived until further notice. Those who can’t adopt are en-couraged to foster instead. CCAS is also asking for approved res-cue groups to help.
To view the animals available for adoption at CCAS, visit tinyurl.com/fusts74. This site is updated in real-time and has the most up-to-date listings of animals available for adoption.
CCAS is also in need of mone-tary and in-kind donations, es-pecially food for dogs, cats, chickens, goats, birds, rabbits and pot-bellied pigs. Timo-thy-only hay, rabbit bedding, blankets and towels are also being asked for.

TALLAHASSEE —Cuban citizens have grabbed the world’s attention as their uprising against communist leadership on the island nation con-tinues boiling over, and, unsurpris-ingly, the anti-government protests dominated this week in Florida politics.
Cuban exiles flocked to South Florida starting in the late 1950’s following Fidel Castro’s rise to power on the island nation, just 90 miles south of the Florida Keys.
Some six decades later, people of Cuban ancestry and their exiled counterparts represent a powerful voting bloc in the Sunshine State. More than 60% of the nation’s two million Cuban-Americans live in Florida, according to the Cuban Studies Institute.
A who’s who of Florida pols are showing rare bipartisanship in ap-plauding Cubans who are demand-ing freedom.
Gov. Ron DeSantis has been clear about where he stands on the issue. The governor has repeatedly voiced support for Cuban protesters since demonstrations erupted over the weekend. The governor also has supported protesters in Florida who are showing solidarity with their Cuban counterparts.
DeSantis, however, isn’t calling for U.S. intervention in the matter. In-stead, the governor on Thursday sent a message to members of Cuba’s mil-itary by telling them to “live in the history books” by overthrowing their nation’s communist leadership.
“The best role for the military is the Cuban military to realize that time is up. You can’t keep doing the bidding of a repressive dictatorship that is not governing with the con-sent of the governed,” DeSantis told reporters during a press conference in Miami.
Cubans, who took to the streets last weekend, are being met with vi-olent force and government-caused internet blackouts.
DeSantis sent a letter to President Joe Biden’s administration on Wednesday requesting that the U.S. government restore internet access to the island.
“Technology exists to provide in-ternet access into Cuba remotely, using the innovation of American enterprise and the diverse indus-tries here,” DeSantis wrote.
Suggestions about how to accom-plish that goal include floating bal-loons that would enable Wi-Fi access and, as DeSantis suggested Thursday, using the U.S. Embassy in Havana.
Biden said that aid from the U.S. could depend on actions taken by
Cuban leaders.“Cuba is unfortunately a failed
state and repressing their citizens. There are a number of things that we would consider doing to help the people of Cuba, but it would require a different circumstance or a guar-antee that they would not be taken advantage of by the government,” Biden said Thursday.
FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT TO ADVERTISE
Siding with a roofing company that contended a new Florida property-insurance law violates First Amendment rights, a federal judge has blocked the state from en-forcing a key part of the law.
The statute, approved by state lawmakers during the legislative session that ended in April, was aimed at combating insurance fraud. The measure, which prohib-its roofing contractors from certain types of advertising to potential customers, comes amid spiraling property-insurance rates and insur-ers dropping policies in Florida.
Chief U.S. District Judge Mark Walker supported the call for a pre-liminary injunction from Brandon- based Gale Force Roofing & Resto-ration LLC, which argued the law signed by DeSantis on June 11 di-rectly penalizes protected speech.
“It is also clear that the threat-ened injuries to plaintiff from ban-ning plaintiff ’s truthful commercial speech outweighs the state’s inter-est in preventing fraud, protecting consumers from exploitation, and stabilizing the insurance market,” Walker wrote in a ruling issued Sunday.
In court documents, the state dis-puted that the law’s restrictions vio-late First Amendment rights, arguing that the statute should be considered a reasonable restriction
on commercial speech combating consumer exploitation and fraud.
Under the law, “targeted digital advertisements or e-mails, door hangers, or brochures handed out in person are prohibited if, and only if, they encourage a homeowner to make a roofing-insurance claim,” the state’s lawyers wrote. Radio and television advertisements are al-lowed under the law.
Gale Force Roofing and Resto-ration argued in the lawsuit that it advertises to homeowners to contact the company for inspections of storm damage to roofs. The law will have a chilling effect on the compa-ny’s speech, its lawyers said.
Walker called the state’s evidence that the new law advances Florida’s interests “lackluster,” and in his 44-page order questioned whether lawmakers couldn’t instead “di-rectly regulate agreements between homeowners and contractors or im-pose liability” for incomplete work.
STORY OF THE WEEK Gov. Ron DeSantis told young
members of Cuba’s military to “live in the history books” by overthrow-ing their nation’s communist leader-ship, as he pushed President Joe Biden to bring Wi-Fi access back to people protesting on the island nation.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK “Clearly, this is a dictatorship that
has lost — not that they ever had it — but clearly, they don’t have the consent of the governed now. And so, I think that the best thing would be for those military, particularly some of the younger military folks, to understand, you can really be he-roic in this, you can play an instru-mental role in founding a free Cuba, re-founding the country and a free republic.” — Gov. Ron DeSantis.

In addition to places to live, the Key Center has grown to pro-vide workshops where clients can earn their own money and thrift stores that generate in-come for the organization as well as providing jobs for clients.
What does the Key Center do?
The Key Training Center serves about 300 clients with so-cial, educational and vocational experiences and individualized plans for personal growth. It provides residential care and day training programs for adults with a broad range of disabili-ties such as autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, etc.
The day training program, which is open to Key residents and clients who live in the com-munity, offers structured activi-ties, skill-building opportunities and social interaction.
On the Key Center website it states: “In our common human-ity, when even one developmen-tally disabled person is not given the same opportunity to fully develop as a human being we diminish as a people and as a society. But when life becomes better for the most fragile and vulnerable among us we all benefit.”
The Key Training Center helps the entire community be-come more humane.
How is the Key Training Center funded?
Sixty percent comes from gov-ernment funding, 30% from re-tail sales from thrift stores and Labels and 10% comes from public support/donations.
“We are challenged to raise over $5 million annually,” said Melissa Walker, Key Training Center executive director.
Chet Cole’s legacyFor 46 years until his death in
2017, Chet Cole was the heart, soul and face of the Key Train-ing Center, serving as its third executive director.
In 1954, Cole was 9 when his 12-year-old developmentally disabled sister, Dorothy Jean, was put in an institution, some-thing he never forgot.
Fast-forward to 1971: Cole was offered the job as director and Dorothy Jean came 10 years later as a client and lived there until she died in 2016.
“I had certain ideas of how people should be treated and what should and could be done if people truly cared about each other and loved each other. That’s the most powerful thing in the world,” Cole told the Chronicle in 2016.
Cole stepped aside in 2014 and promoted Melissa Walker as executive director. Prior to that, Walker had first served the Key as spokeswoman and then
assistant executive director.
Run for the money and the awareness
In 1976, Cole started the an-nual Run for the Money to raise funds, but more importantly, to raise awareness.
The first year, runners ran from the Key Center to Tallahas-see where the governor met them on the Capitol steps. They raised $6,000.
Beginning the next year, and
all the years since, the 180-mile run starts in Tallahassee, ends with a huge celebration at the Key Center and raises many thousands of dollars.
The question many people ask — why run in the grueling heat of July?
As Cole once explained, “Our people here who are mentally challenged face so many adver-sities and challenges in their personal lives that what we do on the road is really a statement
underscoring how important it is to support them. Those who run and suffer a little discomfort running pale into insignificance to what clients have to do. ... The run is symbolic of overcoming their struggles in life and them meeting their challenges.”

Chet Cole died in 2017, a matter of months after his sister, Dorothy Jean Cole, shown with him, died in 2016. For most of his career, Mr. Cole led the Key Training Center, serving developmentally disabled adults.
The new standards specify how Florida students will be taught about the Holocaust. Since the adoption of 1994’s Senate Bill 660, Florida re-quires students learn about the Holocaust but curriculum is vague.
“We want to make sure our students understand the evils of the Holocaust,” DeSantis told the BOE Wednesday. “You see people throughout the world try to diminish or even reject that the Holocaust even happened.”
SB 660 also established a Task Force on Holocaust Edu-cation. It still exists and its members are not happy with the new standards.
In an April letter, task force members claim the new stan-dards do not provide a “broader understanding of where all group-based hatreds can lead” and omits “core concepts such as diversity empathy, responsi-bility, and fairness.”
The standards fail to link the Holocaust to lessons that en-courage understanding the “ramifications of prejudice, stereotyping and racism” and violates SB 660, task force member Yael Hershfield, re-gional director of the Anti-Defamation League Florida, wrote in a June 11 letter.
“If we truly want to educate our next generation to under-stand the evils of hatred, as ex-posed during the Holocaust, so that history does not repeat it-self, as it did in Rwanda and other genocides, we must ad-dress the universal lessons,”
she wrote.Members object that a
Tennessee-based Evangelical Christian group – Proclaiming Justice to the Nations (PJTN), with a “well-documented track record of anti-Muslim bigotry,” according to the Anti-Defamation League — was “in-vited” to offer input despite having “neither the expertise nor the credentials” to do so.
PJTN also criticized the stan-dards because they fall “dis-mally short” of what it wanted — all students to be extensively educated in Jewish traditions.
PJTN President Laurie Cardoza-Moore maintains the Holocaust should be taught without “universalizing” it.
“If you’re going to talk about the Holocaust you don’t bring in racism or xenophobia or all these other issues,” she told re-porters. “In Germany, Hitler
established the final solution to the Jewish question. That should be the focus of teaching the Holocaust.”
PJTN called the standards “revisionist,” prompting task force members to question why it’s even participating in the discussion.
“We, from the Commission-er’s Task Force on Holocaust Education, are not ‘revision-ists’ and want the best Holo-caust education standards for students and teachers,” said Barbara Goldstein, a former task force chair, in a statement.
After Wednesday’s adoption, Cardoza-Moore praised the standards as “groundbreaking and historic,” and will “ensure our children learn the Judeo-Christian foundations of our nation, while also curbing the growth of anti-Semitism.”

Charles Schwab shares fell after the stock trading giant reported slightly worse earnings than Wall Street expected.
The Westlake, Texas-based company earned 70 cents a share in the second quarter, just missing the 71 cents that analysts expected.
“Trading revenue fell 21% as client activity stepped down from the dramatic surge of the
prior quarter, but still remained quite strong relative to past levels,” said Chief Financial Officer Peter
Crawford. Daily trade volume averaged 6 million in the quarter, a 28% slowdown from Schwab’s record first quarter.
Charles Schwab shares are up about 30% so far this year, double the gain for the S&P 500. Its stock closed down 2.4% at $68.89 on Friday.

Wall Street ended a milestone-setting week on a down note Friday, as stocks closed lower and the S&P 500 index posted its first weekly loss in four weeks.
The benchmark index fell 0.8%, with a good part of its pullback attributable to declines in big technol-ogy stocks, banks and com-panies that rely on consumer spending. En-ergy and industrial stocks also helped drag the mar-ket down, outweighing gains in health care and utilities companies.
Small-company stocks continued to badly lag the rest of the market. Trea-sury yields remained rela-tively low, a sign of caution among investors. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note held steady at 1.29%, well below the 1.75% it fetched in late March.
“Some of what’s been re-flected in the bond market is starting to filter into the (stock) market just a little bit,” said Stephanie Roth, senior markets economist at J.P. Morgan Private Bank.
The S&P 500 fell 32.87 points to 4,327.16. It ended the week with a 1% loss. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 299.17 points, or 0.9%, to 34,687.85. The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite slid 115.90 points, or 0.8%, to 14,427.24.
The Russell 2000 index
of smaller companies fared worse than the broader market, shedding 27.06 points, or 1.2%, to 2,163.24. The index, which had outpaced the rest of the market for much of 2021, is now up just 9.5% for the year, well below the S&P 500’s year-to-date gain of 15.2%.
Moderna rose 10.3% after the drugmaker was added to the S&P 500 index, prompting a rush of buying from fund manag-ers who need to keep a portfolio of stocks that replicate the index.
Trading was choppy this week after the three major stock indexes set all-time highs on Monday. The downbeat end to the week suggests investors are un-certain about how strongly the economic recovery will be in the second half of the year. Inflation is rag-ing, many of the U.S. gov-ernment’s pandemic relief efforts are fading and the Federal Reserve is start-ing to discuss reining in some of its support for the economy.
Investors are also anx-ious that the spread of new variants of the coro-navirus could weaken economies around the world.
“COVID is probably one of the bigger uncertainties out there,” Roth said. “We do have to price in some chance that it becomes a bigger headwind than we think.”
On Thursday, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome
Powell delivered his sec-ond day of testimony be-fore Congress. Powell reiterated that signs of in-flation should ease or re-verse over time, while acknowledging that the U.S. is in the midst of an unparalleled economic re-opening on the heels of a p a n d e m i c - i n d u c e d recession.
Investors got a bit of pos-itive economic news Fri-day. Americans spent more last month on cloth-ing, electronics and dining out as the economy opened up and there were fewer pandemic-related restrictions.
U.S. retail sales rose a seasonally adjusted 0.6% in June from the month before, the U.S. Commerce Department said. The in-crease was a surprise to Wall Street analysts, who had expected sales to fall slightly last month.
Banks, airlines and other major companies kicked off the latest round of quarterly report cards this week. The reports have been mostly solid, though investors are still trying to gauge how corpo-rations are faring during the recovery and how they might perform for the rest of the year.
The bulk of companies in the S&P 500 will report their results next week and the following week. Expectations are high, with profits in the S&P 500 expected to be up 64% from a year earlier, ac-cording to FactSet.

Two old sayings for opposition
In regards to the Pine Ridg-ers’ opposition to an exit at County Road 486 off the Sun-coast Parkway, two old say-ings come to mind.
The first is, “History re-peats itself.” Back in the late 1990s when the Suncoast Parkway began planning and construction, the wealthy de-velopment of Cheval in Lutz vehemently protested the building of an exit off the Parkway at Lutz-Lake Fern Road by their subdivision, saying they didn’t want or need it. They won their fight. After completion of the Park-way without the exit, they found that the nearest access to use it was a 20-minute drive to either the north or south (i.e., a 40-minute detour if using the parkway to com-mute to work).
Very soon the Cheval voices took a very different 180- degree turn, stating, “We want and need that exit you didn’t build!” The state said, “Sorry, Parkway construction is com-plete and all associated funds have been spent,” (even though the abandoned exit access had been graded and covered with grass). It took more than a decade, and com-pletion of the adjacent Stein-brenner High School before the exit Cheval wanted at Lutz- Lake Fern road was added.
Hence the second old say-ing (applying to our Pine Ridgers), “Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it!”
Michael J. FullerLecanto
What will we ‘start’ today?
Regarding Gerry Mulligan’s Out the Window piece, “The original source is a good
place to start” (Sunday, July 11), I have to say that it could not be timelier and more appropriate.
Gerry reminded us that the Declaration of Independence was written by selfless patri-ots willing to put their all on the line, and they did so! That document led to the U.S. Con-stitution and, over the past 245 years, was cautiously amended to conform with our current cultural situation.
My personal attention to all this is inflated since I wrote a high school American History term paper titled “The Decla-ration of Independence” in the early 1960’s, before our education system started going downhill such that today history is being “can-celed” all around us. Mulli-gan’s piece could have been a summary of my A+ term paper, which I still have. I would add that Thomas Paine’s “Common Sense”
helped jump start colonial motivation to achieve inde-pendence from tyranny and create a far better form of government.
Indeed, we do now need to “start” returning to those basic principles and values, as now amended. Since I helped to write it, I recom-mend to all a new book (re-leased July 4, of course) on Amazon-Kindle titled “The Technodigm Protocol,” (writ-ten by nonprofit Technidigm Masters), which is a modern version of “Common Sense” in our technologically ad-vanced environment.
If today’s high school kids did no more than study part 1 (the first few chapters are for Technodigm Novices) of this challenging patriotic work, they would start to become the citizens we hope they can be. Likewise, all adults would benefit from parts 2 (Techno-digm Practitioners) and 3 (Technodigm Masters) of The Technodigm Protocol, which are even more challenging to read and implement. What is your current “Technodigm Capabilities Score” as calcu-lated in Appendix A of the book?
Finally, there are two addi-tional volumes of “The Tech-nodigm Protocol” being published that will educate and challenge even the most erudite and determined citi-zens “to start” (as Gerry rec-ommends) the patriotic, political renewal process at this critical point in our U.S. history. Our primary objective is to motivate the patriotic si-lent majority to step up and the radical extremes to step down.
What will we start today? What will our children and grandchildren start tomorrow?

HARSH VOTE
No good deed goes unpunishedWith the Suncoast
Parkway poised to bring more travelers
and prospective residents to Citrus County, the parkway interchange on U.S. 98 has made the highway a gateway to Citrus County, as well as the Sugarmill Woods community.
Re c o g n i z i n g that first impres-sions are lasting impressions, the leadership of the Sugarmill Woods Oak Village Prop-erty Owners As-sociation (POA), in 2019, took the initiative in requesting the county apply for a state grant to create a welcoming, eye-appealing gateway entry on U.S. 98 with the landscaping of a mile section of the highway’s median.
Supported by Commis-sioner Ronald Kitchen Jr., who represents the Sugar-mill Woods community, the county successfully applied for a $350,411 grant and hired a Homosassa company to do the work. Under the terms of the agreement, the contractor would maintain the landscaping for one year with the POA assuming the maintenance responsibility in subsequent years.
Upon completion of the landscaping last July, the median’s positive first im-pression was short lived. Within a brief period, the eye-appealing gateway be-came a negative eyesore as the lush landscaping became a sea of dead plants.
Although the contractor agreed to replace the dead plants before turning over the maintenance responsi-bility, the POA’s current leadership sought relief
from the burdensome $37,000 annual maintenance costs by re-seeding the me-dian, rather than replacing the dead plants.
In light of the POA’s finan-cial burden, county staff and
the contractor supported the me-dian’s re-seeding. Even the Florida Department of Transportation empathetically signed off on the re-seeding alter-native without re-quiring the county to repay the grant.
Empathy, how-ever, apparently is not a strong suit of the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC).
Despite the benefits to the county of a landscaped gate-way and the county’s due dil-igence responsibility shared with the POA, the BOCC used concern for future state grants as a foil to hold the POA’s feet to the fire and voted unanimously to reject the plea for relief.
The vote unnecessarily chastised a good deed by res-idents who took the lead in creating a positive first im-pression median gateway on U.S. 98 that benefits the county’s image and harshly saddled them with substan-tial recurring maintenance costs that have already proven to be more than meets the eye.
Community beautification makes a statement that someone cares. Although the residents of Sugarmill Woods’ Oak Village cared enough to initiate the land-scaping project, it is disap-pointing that the BOCC doesn’t care enough to give a helping hand after giving their plea for relief the boot.
THE ISSUE:U.S. 98 median landscaping.
OUR OPINION:BOCC’s denial of
maintenance relief straps Oak Village residents.

Don’t let people’s perceptions bother you
I’m responding to (the Wednesday, June 30, Page A11) Sound Off, “Don’t accuse what you don’t know,” where you said your grandchildren were laughing, went to the store and some old guy with a dog ac-cused them of being under the influence and started telling people in the store. My attitude is, in your heart if you know it’s not true, don’t let it bother you. Laugh it off. That’s what I do. It’s very foolish. If you know it’s not true, then why let it bother you? It’s ridiculous. If the old guy wants to be a grump, let him be a grump. If he wants to make accusations, make all the accusations you want. You don’t need to defend yourself to anybody. Like I said, as long as in your heart you know it’s not true, that’s all that matters.
Medal merit changes over time
In regard to June 30’s article on military medals in Sound Off (“Every medal has a story”), I have to agree with the gentleman’s comments there about being in Korea. If you look back, as I did, my com-mander in chief at that time I was there was Harry Truman. And if you look at our generals and you look at Eisenhower walking around, he had, like — he didn’t have a salad bowl — he had three bars going across his chest. Look at our generals today. I think if they’re in the airplane and they just fly over a country, they’re given a medal. That’s my opinion and I’d ap-preciate it’s printed.
Punishment should be even-handed
(Re the front-page story, “CCSO detective could see charges dropped”): I’m calling in about an article in today’s paper — which is June 30, I be-lieve — about Stephen Paul Conley, where the judge is going
to offer him a chance to get out of serving time for a drug charge. That should not be. Yes, he should have to sign up for drug intervention classes, but
he should not be al-lowed to do away with his drug charges. Any-one who’s been in law enforcement for 20 years or so and he’s using drugs and has a supply of drugs after he’s retired from the sheriff’s department…should have to serve time, as my child would, who did, and as
any other person’s child would…
Those who committed crime not children
I’m referring to (the Monday, June 28, Page A8 Sound Off) “Children shouldn’t be consid-ered adults,” where they’re charging a 14-year-old as an adult. I disagree. They are not children. They murdered some-one. All these children, as you call them, who are charged as adults, if they are found guilty, they go to a youthful offender camp, which is from 13 to the age of 24 and that’s their prison. And if they become dis-ciplinary problems, then they get transferred to an adult prison, which is somewhere they really don’t want to go. They are not children. They committed a crime.
Introduction won’t make a difference
A person is saying the paper should introduce us to the new owners of the Chroni-cle (in Tuesday, June 29’s Sound Off). Is it going to make a difference if you met the owners? It’s a publishing company. They’re going to do what they think is best for their newspaper. Hopefully, they won’t make changes, but they probably will. As long as my paper is delivered, that’s all I care about.
Security cameras are everywhere
I’d like to respond to the “No privacy (for anyone anymore)”
Sound Off today (Thursday, July 1, Page A7). The person’s worried about security cam-eras at the park. They should go into Publix, to a bank, to many of our restaurants and bars. They’d see security cam-eras all over. They’re put there for one reason: security alone.
Senior menu in large print needed
These restaurants who have their menus online, they show you the menu, but it’s so small. Even on the computer, I can’t see the small print. Can’t they make it any bigger? There’s no way to enlarge it on the computer to make it any bigger. I just can’t read the prices. Even with my reading glasses, I can’t see the prices. They’re too small. I wish they’d make a senior menu so we could see it on the screen a lot bigger.
Deceased can’t answer the phone
The IRS, the Internal Reve-nue Service, has been trying to contact my mother, who is de-ceased, telling her, “We re-cently sent you a refund check for the stimulus check that was not cashed” and they want to send another one. You call all the phone numbers they give you and you cannot speak to anybody and there’s no options to tell them she is deceased. So let them send the check to my deceased mother again and it will be re-turned like last year and they’re still saying it’s not cashed. Can’t even reach a person to tell them she’s been deceased and that’s why the check is not cleared or been cashed. We do not need an-other one. You cannot speak to a live person.
Requesting opening for Homosassa bankPlease open up the Homo-
sassa Bank of America. The pandemic is under control and we old people cannot travel to Crystal River to do our bank-ing, especially through all the construction. We really need our bank.

n I’m responding to Sound Off (about the Wednesday, July 14, front-page story), “County mulls water rules” — re-ally? — “Commissioners seek solutions for residents trying to keep lawns healthy.” We should be able to. We pay taxes all year long. We don’t pay no $50 per-mit to withdraw thousands of gallons of water from the aqui-fer. We don’t have that luxury. So, no, go after (the bottling company). Stop their permit and stop them from withdrawing thousands of gallons. You want to put it on us, the taxpayers who pay taxes, and you want to limit us for water use, but they get all of the water they want for a $50 permit. No, that’s not fair. Something is wrong somewhere.
That doesn’t make any logic to me, not at all. It’s really pathetic.
n I’m calling in reference to the article, “County mulls water rules,” “Commissioners seek solutions for residents trying to keep lawns healthy.” With the cli-mate changing, we’re going to have to change, too. Green lawns don’t mean a thing, except a sta-tus symbol. In fact, at some time golf courses and all that will have to change, too. Now if you have a vegetable garden, that’s a different story. You should be able to water. But we need to get back to, I believe it’s called xeri-scaping with Florida-native plants. When the rain comes, you use the rain. If you have a water shortage, you don’t use the water.

Few Arizona voter fraud cases found
PHOENIX — Arizona county election officials have identified fewer than 200 cases of potential voter fraud out of more than 3 million ballots cast in last year’s presidential election, further discrediting former President Donald Trump’s claims of a stolen election as his allies continue a disputed ballot re-view in the state’s most pop-ulous county.
An Associated Press in-vestigation found 182 cases where problems were clear enough that officials referred them to investigators for fur-ther review. So far, only four cases have led to charges, including those identified in a separate state investigation. No one has been convicted. No person’s vote was counted twice.
While it’s possible more cases could emerge, the numbers illustrate the im-plausibility of Trump’s claims that fraud and irregularities in Arizona cost him the state’s electorate votes. In final, certified and audited re-sults, Biden won 10,400 more votes than Trump out of 3.4 million cast.
AP’s findings align with previous studies showing voter fraud is rare. Numer-ous safeguards are built into the system to not only prevent fraud from happen-ing but to detect it when it does.
“The fact of the matter is that election officials across the state are highly invested in helping to ensure the in-tegrity of our elections and the public’s confidence in them,” said Arizona Secre-tary of State Katie Hobbs, a Democrat. “And part of that entails taking potential voter fraud seriously.”
Atlanta mayor proposes plan
to reduce crimeATLANTA — Atlanta’s
mayor is proposing a $70 million effort to reduce vio-lent crime in the city, includ-ing hiring 250 more police officers, working to alter vio-lent behavior and tracking repeat offenders to make sure they’re convicted.
Mayor Keisha Lance Bot-toms on Friday also pro-posed installing 10,000 more streetlights, cracking down on illegal after-hours clubs, and adding 250 license plate reader cameras.
The Atlanta City Council would have to approve the spending.
Bottoms, who has said she isn’t running for a sec-ond term this year, said those are the recommenda-tions of her Anti-Violence Ad-visory Council. The mayor had announced some of the plans previously in March.
Crime looms as the top issue in Atlanta city elections this fall.
Bottoms wants the effort to be coordinated by a new office of violence reduction in the mayor’s office. She said the crime prevention office would coordinate efforts across multiple departments.
US to send first vaccine
doses to AfricaWASHINGTON — The
U.S. will begin making its first COVID-19 vaccine ship-ments to Africa in the coming days, with the ultimate goal of sharing 25 million doses this summer across the con-tinent in partnership with the African Union.
The first donated doses will be sent to Ethiopia, Dji-bouti and Burkina Faso, said State Department spokes-woman Jalina Porter, with the U.S. working with the COVAX global vaccine alli-ance. In all, doses will even-tually go to 49 African countries.
According to the White House, Djibouti and Burkina Faso will each receive 151,200 doses of the John-son & Johnson single-shot vaccine, while Ethiopia will receive 453,600.
UK govt plan queried as virus cases top 50,000
LONDON — The U.K. re-corded more than 50,000 new coronavirus cases for the first time in six months Friday amid a warning from the Brit-ish government’s top medical adviser that the number of people hospitalized with COVID-19 could hit “quite scary” levels within weeks.
Government figures showed another 51,870 con-firmed lab cases, the highest daily number since mid- Janu-ary. Infections have surged in recent weeks, mainly among unvaccinated younger people, as a result of the far more contagious delta variant and the continued easing of lock-down restrictions.
Despite the increase, the British government plans Monday to lift all remaining legal restrictions on social contact in England and to ditch social distancing guide-lines as well as the legal re-quirement for people to wear masks in most indoor settings. The government is hoping that the rapid rollout of vac-cines will keep a lid on the number of people becoming seriously ill — a stance that some leading international sci-entists at an “emergency inter-national summit” critiqued as “reckless.”
Hundreds greet Aristide on return to troubled HaitiPORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti

Nation/World BRIEFS
Zeke MillerAssociated Press
WASHINGTON — Two weeks after cele-brating America’s near “independence” from the coronavirus, Presi-dent Joe Biden is con-fronting the worrying reality of rising cases and deaths — and the limitations of his ability to combat the persistent vaccine hesitance re-sponsible for the sum-mer backslide.
Cases of COVID-19 have tripled over the past three weeks, and hospitalizations and deaths are rising among unvaccinated people. While the rates are still sharply down from their January highs, officials are concerned by the re-versing trendlines and what they consider needless illness and death. And cases are ex-pected to continue to rise in coming weeks.
While the national emergency may have faded, officials say the outbreak is now a more localized crisis in com-munities where not enough people have rolled up their sleeves.
“Look, the only pan-demic we have is among the unvaccinated,” Biden said Friday, echo-ing comments made earlier in the day by Dr. Rochelle Walensky, di-rector of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The rising numbers are being driven by large pockets of infection among the more than 90 million eligible Amer-icans who have yet to get shots. Just four states with low vaccination rates made up 40% of
new cases last week, and nearly half of them came from Florida alone.
However, there is lit-tle appetite in the White House for a return to broad mandates for masks or other mea-sures, as 161 million Americans are already fully vaccinated.
Reflecting that mindset, Walensky said Friday that in low- vaccination areas with rising cases, “local policymakers might consider whether mask-ing at that point would be something that would be helpful for their community.”

County on Thursday re-instituted its require-ment that masks be worn in most indoor set-tings regardless of vac-cination status, and health officials in Las Vegas recommended on Friday that workers and patrons in the tourism hotspot wear face cover-ings while inside.
With three highly ef-fective vaccines autho-rized for use in the U.S., the Biden administra-tion believes the most effective way to attack the virus is not trying to slow the spread with mass masking and such — something the U.S. showed it was not very good at last year — but
to continue to press the i m p o r t a n c e o f vaccinations.
It’s no easy fix. Many Americans remain resis-tant or unmotivated to get shots, despite months of often-creative efforts by federal and state offi-cials and the private sec-tor to spread information about vaccine safety and accessibility.
Surgeon General Vivek Murthy added that while government can play an important role, “this has got to be an ‘all of the above’ strategy with everybody in,” including schools, employers, technology companies and individuals.
New COVID crisis
White House struggles with surge among unvaccinated
Associated PressWhite House press secretary Jen Psaki speaks during the daily briefing at the White House in Washington, Friday, July 16.
Judge ends ‘Dreamer’ programAstrid GAlvAn
Associated Press
A federal judge in Texas on Fri-day ruled illegal an Obama-era pro-gram that prevents the deportation of some immigrants brought into the United States as children, putting new pressure for action on Presi-dent Joe Biden and Democrats who control Congress for legislation to safeguard the people known as “Dreamers.”
U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen ruled in favor of Texas and eight other conservative states that sued to halt the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which provides limited protections to about 650,000 people. People who are already enrolled won’t lose pro-tections, but Hanen is barring the approval of any new applications.
Hanen’s decision limits the imme-diate ability of Biden, who pledged during his campaign to protect DACA, to keep the program or
something similar in place. His rul-ing is the second by a federal judge in Texas stopping Biden’s immigra-tion plans, after a court barred en-forcement of Biden’s 100-day stay on most deportations. The program has been challenged in court since for-mer President Barack Obama insti-tuted it in June 2012.
In Friday’s ruling, Hanen wrote that the states proved “the hardship that the continued operation of DACA has inflicted on them.”
He continued: “Furthermore, the government has no legitimate inter-est in the continuation of an illegally implemented program.”
Biden has already proposed legis-lation that would provide a pathway to citizenship for the estimated 11 million people living in the U.S. without authorization. He also or-dered agencies to make efforts to preserve the program.
Supporters of DACA, including those who argued before Hanen to save it, have said a law passed by
Congress is necessary to provide permanent relief. Hanen has said Congress must act if the U.S. wants to provide the protections in DACA to recipients commonly known as “Dreamers.”
The House approved legislation in March creating a pathway toward citizenship for “Dreamers,” but the measure has been stalled in the Senate. Immigration advocates hope to include a provision opening that citizenship doorway in sweep-ing budget legislation Democrats want to approve this year, but it’s unclear whether that language will survive.
Hanen’s ruling came after a nearly 3 1/2 hour court hearing Dec. 22 on DACA’s fate.
The states argued that Obama never had the authority in 2012 to create DACA because it circum-vented Congress. The states also ar-gued that the program drains their educational and healthcare resources.
Biden: Social media platforms ‘killing
people’ with misinfoWASHINGTON — President Joe
Biden said Friday that social media com-panies are “killing people” by failing to police misinformation on their platforms about COVID-19 vaccines.
Biden’s comments came a day after U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy de-clared misinformation about the vaccines a threat to public health, and as U.S. offi-cials advised that deaths and serious ill-ness from the virus are almost entirely preventable because of the vaccines.
Biden, asked if he had a message for platforms like Facebook where false or misleading information about the coro-navirus vaccines has spread, told report-ers, “They’re killing people.”
“The only pandemic we have is among the unvaccinated,” he said.
Speaking Thursday, Murthy said mis-information about COVID-19, deemed an “infodemic” by the World Health Or-ganization, was deadly.
“Misinformation poses an imminent and insidious threat to our nation’s health,” Murthy said during remarks Thursday at the White House. “We must confront misinformation as a nation.
Lives are depending on it.”Given the role the internet plays in
spreading health misinformation, Murthy said technology companies and social media platforms must make meaningful changes to their products and software to reduce the spread of false information while increasing access to authoritative, fact-based sources.
Too often, he said, the platforms are built in ways that encourage, not counter, the spread of misinformation.
“We are asking them to step up,” Mur-thy said. “We can’t wait longer for them to take aggressive action.”
Facebook spokesperson Dani Lever re-sponded: “We will not be distracted by ac-cusations which aren’t supported by the facts. The fact is that more than 2 billion people have viewed authoritative informa-tion about COVID-19 and vaccines on Facebook, which is more than any other place on the internet. More than 3.3 million Americans have also used our vaccine finder tool to find out where and how to get a vaccine. The facts show that Facebook is helping save lives. Period.”
Twitter posted on its platform, “As the COVID-19 pandemic evolves around the world, we’ll continue to do our part to el-evate authoritative health information.”

NICOLE WINFIELDAssociated Press
ROME — Pope Francis cracked down Friday on the spread of the old Latin Mass, reversing one of Pope Benedict XVI’s signature decisions in a major challenge to traditionalist Catholics who immediately decried it as an attack on them and the an-cient liturgy.
Francis reimposed restrictions on celebrating the Latin Mass that Ben-edict relaxed in 2007, and went fur-ther to limit its use. The pontiff said he was taking action because Bene-dict’s reform had become a source of division in the church and been exploited by Catholics opposed to the Second Vatican Council, the 1960s meetings that modernized the church and its liturgy.
Critics said they had never before witnessed a pope so thoroughly re-versing his predecessor. That the reversal concerned something so fundamental as the liturgy, while
Benedict is still alive and living in the Vatican as a retired pope, only amplified the extraordinary nature of Francis’ move, which will surely result in more right-wing hostility directed at him.
Francis, 84, issued a new law re-quiring individual bishops to ap-prove celebrations of the old Mass, also called the Tridentine Mass, and requiring newly ordained priests to receive explicit permission to cele-brate it from their bishops, in con-sultation with the Vatican.
Under the new law, bishops must also determine if the current groups of faithful attached to the old Mass accept Vatican II, which allowed for Mass to be celebrated in the vernacular rather than Latin. These groups cannot use regular churches; instead, bishops must find alternate locations for them without creating new parishes.
In addition, Francis said bishops are no longer allowed to authorize the formation of any new pro-Latin
Mass groups in their dioceses. Francis said he was taking action
to promote unity and heal divisions within the church that had grown since Benedict’s 2007 document, Summorum Pontificum. He said he based his decision on a 2020 Vati-can survey of all the world’s bish-ops, whose “responses reveal a situation that preoccupies and sad-dens me, and persuades me of the need to intervene.”
The pope’s rollback immediately created an uproar among tradition-alists already opposed to Francis’ more progressive bent and nostalgic for Benedict’s doctrinaire papacy.
“This is an extremely disappoint-ing document which entirely un-does the legal provisions,” of Benedict’s 2007 document, said Jo-seph Shaw, chairman of the Latin Mass Society of England and Wales.
While Latin celebrations can con-tinue, “the presumption is consis-tently against them: bishops are being invited to close them down,” Shaw said, adding that the require-ment for Latin Masses to be held outside a parish was “unworkable.”

This past week at church we had a guest speaker — who gave us homework.
Often when pastors give home-work it’s something like “Go home and practice the 10 com-mandments until you get them right,” or some form of “Try to be a better person.”
Pastors are good at laying on the guilt so you walk out of church with your head dragging, vowing to do whatever it takes to be better.
I’ve been around church peo-ple enough to know that some think they don’t get their offering money’s worth unless they leave church feeling like they’ve been slapped around by God.
But our guest pastor didn’t give us “go and do better” homework.
He had talked about relation-ships, about feeling distant, maybe feeling like you want to reconnect but you don’t know how.
He was talking about our rela-tionship with God, but also rela-tionships with others.
That hit home with me.He talked about how God
never leaves us, so whenever we feel distant, we don’t have to work our way back to him.
We can just pick up the con-versation as if no time has passed.
Like, I can call my sister and say, “Remember the egg on the plate?” and she’ll remember the time we were doing dishes — I was washing, she was drying — and I washed only the front of a plate and missed the gooey egg yolk on the underside.
The pastor said we can do that with God. Just say, “Remember that time?” and he’s right there. He never left. He’ll never leave.
For our homework, the pastor told us to “Go and enjoy God.”
At my church sometimes we recite: “The chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy him for-ever.” That’s from the Westmin-ster Catechism written in the 17th century, but it still pertains to us today.
But how exactly does one enjoy God?
Before the church service, I had read a quote from C.S. Lewis from a passage in his book, “The Silver Chair.” The quote was quite long, but the sentence that caught my atten-tion was: “The first step is to remember.”
The pastor had said, “Remem-bering renews relationships.”
So, I started remembering.I remembered the time a
friend and I went to some hot springs down in Sarasota and laughed as we tried to do yoga on the grass, and the time we went to Charlotte together and shared two slices of decadent cheesecake and how this friend and I had shared our lives for more than 25 years.
The remembering brought me closer to God, because he was the one who brought my friend and I together.
I remembered some answers to prayers and remembered the faithfulness of God to keep me securely in his grip of grace when life has buffeted me, when I’ve felt swallowed and cocooned.
For me, enjoying God is the re-membering and then sharing that remembrance with others.
That’s the “glorifying God” part, the telling others of his goodness — He’s been good to me and he’ll be good to you, too.
I thoroughly enjoy telling oth-ers about the immeasurable grace of God, and as homework goes, that beats algebra any day.

Recently, Inverness Real-tor Cheryl Lambert —president of the Florida
Realtors Association — was in the Chronicle about real estate professionals across the state in backing a proposed constitu-tional amendment that would dedicate tax dollars for hous-ing programs.
I remember years ago when we re-started the homeless coalition, a previous county employee, Joe Monroe, used to tell be about the Sa-dowski Fund. This, too, was in the article but it also states to my surprise, the legislature still does not use all the funds for affordable housing.
I imagine Florida has been
through these many times. This time, COVID has caused much of our housing to be gobbled up from home buyers up north. I’m being told our housing listings,
houses for sale are very low.
What does all of this mean for you and I? It means housing prices will continue to soar. Getting a new house built will take longer and longer as labor is in a shortage.
The housing stock for people in the workforce will con-tinue to shrink and
get more expensive. The good news is, wages must start going up by law in September but the wages will take years and it is possible people looking for jobs will not be able to wait for
years to get enough wages to keep up with the pace of the housing.
I have talked to friends across the country because of our nationwide network and the problem seems to be in most places in the United States except for the cities where people left.
Cheryl states she knows this will be a tough battle. Habitat has also pledged to build 500 houses but again, this will take time. Even if they built 25 houses a year, this is 20 years. I think Habitat is the greatest af-fordable housing program in the country and several of our clients have houses. I wish Cheryl the best but I have my doubts with what I have wit-nessed over the past 25 years.
The problem is simple, many things we wish for the growth of our county cannot happen if
our workforce cannot find housing.
I know I am guilty at the lunch meetings when we are talking about our community problems of saying something like “why doesn’t the church do it”? I have not said it for a long time because I know it is im-possible for “the church” to do everything.
But, this time, I think we can. I encourage every church that has land to consider building some affordable housing and I can help you with the rules to put our workforce in the hous-ing to help our families stay in Citrus County.

AP sports writer
ATLANTA — Austin Meadows hit a single in the 10th-inning to score Brett Phillips from second base with the tiebreaking run, and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the At-lanta Braves 7-6 on Friday night.
With Phillips opening the 10th on second base, right-hander Jesse Chavez (0-2) walked Brandon Lowe before recording two outs. Chavez then gave up Meadows’ go-ahead single to right field, as Phil-lips slid across the plate and beat Abraham Almonte’s throw.
Freddie Freeman had four hits, including a two-run homer in the fifth. Austin Riley and Dansby Swanson also hit home runs for Atlanta.
Ji-Man Choi’s homer to lead off Tampa Bay’s fifth, an oppo-site-field shot he sliced just inside the left field foul pole, tied the game at 3-3.

Suns, Bucks ready for Game 5 BRIAN MAHONEYAP basketball writer
PHOENIX — The Phoenix Suns had designs on coming home with a chance to win their first championship.
Khris Middleton’s shots and Giannis Antetokounmpo’s swat ended those thoughts.
Now an NBA Finals that seemed very much in the Suns’ control when they left Phoenix a week ago returns to Arizona as a tossup.
The Milwaukee Bucks have taken the last two games to even things up, with Game 5 set for Saturday night.
“It’s two teams left in the league now playing for an NBA championship on the biggest stage,” Bucks forward Bobby Portis said. “It doesn’t get any better than that.”
The Suns never got more than two victories in their two previous NBA Finals appear-ances, but they were only a few minutes away Wednesday in Game 4. Phoenix was ahead by nine points early in the fourth quarter and was still in the lead with 2 1/2 minutes to play.
But Middleton had 10 straight Milwaukee points down the stretch to finish with 40 and An-tetokoumpo blocked Deandre Ayton at the rim after a lob pass to preserve the lead as the Bucks pulled out a 109-103 victory.
“Obviously that’s a tough, emotional loss for us, but we move on to the next one,” Suns All-Star Devin Booker said. “Next-game mentality for us.”
The Bucks overcame a 2-0 deficit in the second round against Brooklyn and now are trying to become the fifth club to do it in the NBA Finals. That last happened five years ago when Cleveland rallied past Golden State.
First, the Bucks have to show they can compete in Phoenix. The Suns won both their home games by double digits.
But Milwaukee did a much better job in the next two games making sure it didn’t let both of the Suns’ star guards get going at the same time. The Bucks forced Booker into a 3-for-14 night in Game 3 and when he bounced back big with 42 points in Game 4, Chris Paul had as many turnovers (5) as baskets while scoring just 10 points.
“Now we are coming back home. We’ve got to protect home court,” Paul said.
“I hate it, but it’s that simple. We didn’t sweep but one series, so this is what happens in a se-ries. That’s why they make it seven games. This is the finals. It’s dramatic. We got to protect home court and win the game tomorrow.”
Paul is in the NBA Finals for the first time in his 16th season and started with 32 and 23 points in the first two games. He has tailed off since but said he feels fine after revealing he was playing with torn ligaments in his right hand during the Western Conference finals.

Oosthuizen sets 36-hole Open record, stellar cast behind himSTEVE DOUGLAS
AP sports writer
SANDWICH, England — Louis Oost-huizen set a 36-hole record at the Brit-ish Open and is halfway to ending that run of near misses at the majors.
Now all he has to do is hold off a cast of major champions on the weekend at Royal St. George’s.
On a day of pleasant summer weather that took the fear out of the links off Sandwich Bay, Oosthuizen broke away from a three-way tie with a birdie-birdie-eagle run from the 12th hole. He
shrugged off his first bogey of the week for a 5-under 65 and a two-stroke lead on Friday.
Former PGA champion Collin Mori-kawa had a 64 in the morning and was two shots behind. Another shot back was Jordan Spieth (67), going after his fourth major.
Lurking was two-time major cham-pion Dustin Johnson, the No. 1 player in the world who shot 65 and was tied for fourth, four strokes behind Oosthuizen.
“The game is good, but I know it’s a really good leaderboard,” Oosthuizen said. “I’ll have to play good golf this
weekend if I want to come out first.”Oosthuizen, looking as calm as the
conditions, was at 11-under 129, break-ing the 36-hole Open record first set by Nick Faldo in 1992 at Muirfield and matched by Brandt Snedeker in 2012 at Royal Lytham & St. Annes.
This will be the fifth time in the last nine rounds at a major that Oosthuizen, the 2010 Open champion at St. Andrews, has had at least a share of the lead. He was runner-up at the last two majors, to Phil Mickelson at the the PGA Champi-onship in May and to Jon Rahm the U.S.

Local racers to honor Gary AtchisonTribute includes special decal and
on-track processionKimberly Kelly
For the Chronicle
When it came to life, Gary Atchison lived in the fast lane. He knew what he wanted and how to make it happen.
And while he focused his professional career within the Citrus County Sheriff ’s Office, there were two other things he loved doing.
“Gary loved fishing and he loved rac-ing,” Greg Ferrell said.
Atchison died unexpectedly on Mon-day, June 28, while on vacation in the Florida Keys. He was 64.
Atchison and Ferrell started their pro-fessional careers together in the CCSO and spent many Saturday nights in the late 1990s and early 2000s working secu-rity detail at Citrus County Speedway. It was there, Ferrell said, Atchison fell in love with the sport of auto racing.
“He got the bug from the Saturday night show,” Ferrell said.
It didn’t take long before Atchison jumped at the chance to attend his first NASCAR Cup event where he worked his way through the pits, and made friends along the way.
Atchison met up with Larry Moore, a nationally known dirt track racer who had over 500 career wins and was in-ducted into the National Dirt Late Model Hall of Fame, who helped him make con-nections with race teams looking for help during races throughout ARCA and NA-SCAR divisions.
“He did pit crew work and called him-self the ‘Utility Man’ and would do what-ever they needed,” Ferrell said.
“There were always long-standing sto-ries when it came to law enforcement and Gary,” Casey Phillips said. Phillips, like Ferrell, worked with Atchison at the CCSO.
There were also the never-ending rac-ing stories, never embellished and com-pletely legitimate, of all he knew in the racing industry.
“He could talk, and talk, and talk, and then here walks up the guy (he was
talking about),” Phillips said. “I spent a week working on a pit crew with him in the ARCA Series. I had no idea I was sit-ting there working side-by-side with Moore, who was coaching the driver and crew members.”
“He was not mechanically inclined at all,” Phillips said. He also noted that Atchison was a spotter and communi-cated with the driver over the radio while he was tasked with tires and gas for ARCA driver Maryeve Default, a for-mer Miss Hawaiian Tropic International winner, model and advertising spokeswoman.
“He would show up and help us out, and spotted for me at times,” said Norm Benning. “Sometimes he’d even be the cook.” Benning currently drives the No. 6 truck in the Camping World Truck Series.
“For years he was with me at Daytona, but I spent the most time with him at Tal-ladega,” Benning said. “Every once in a while we’d be leading or doing really good and Gary would get a kick out of it because he was a part of it because we were never a major sponsored team.”
He was involved with a lot of other teams, including Jay Robinson Racing, and was a special guest host on WYKE-TV’s Full Throttle Hour, a local live call-in race program that featured events at Citrus County Speedway as well as na-tional racing series news.
“He brought a real excitement to the show,” WYKE General Manager Dennis Miller said. “He was very into the racing scene and knew a lot of the local drivers and their inside stories. He had a differ-ent perspective.”
Geoffrey Blotz, a local stock car racer, grew up knowing Atchison through his daughter, the racetrack and the Sheriff ’s office where they both worked.
“His personality was absolutely larger than life,” Geoffrey Blotz said. “I remem-ber watching my dad race in the 2000s and Gary was there every Saturday. He would tell me about the ARCA stuff, Day-tona and what he was doing, and spend-ing all week in the pits and working on cars during Speedweeks. He brought the same personality with everything he did.”
For Travis Blotz, Atchison was a School
Resource Officer and was a mentor to Blotz who was a student at Citrus High School.
“He impacted my life by showing me to do the best I can, be a good person, al-ways strive to do better, and work hard but make sure you have fun,” Travis Blotz said. “He always told me to enjoy life and treat everybody with respect.”
Geoffrey and Travis Blotz will honor Gary Atchison Saturday night at Citrus County Speedway with a special tribute that will include Atchison’s CCSO detec-tive badge number on the Travis Blotz’s No. 7 Street Stock, a special moment of silence and memorial lap. They also dis-play the thin blue line flag during the tribute.
Saturday night’s race program in-cludes the Sunoco Race Fuel Open Wheel Modified 50, Florida Pro Truck Challenge Series 50, Signsfast Pure Stock 25, Crockett’s Towing Ford Outlaws 25 and Outlaw Street Stock 25 where Travis Blotz will compete.

Atchison was a retired detective with the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office and an avid lover of fishing and racing. He not only worked security detail at Citrus County Speedway but went on to work on several pit crews in ARCA and NASCAR. Atchison died unexpectedly on Monday, June 28, while on vacation in the Florida Keys. He was 64. Geoffrey and Travis Blotz will honor him Saturday night with a special tribute at Citrus County Speedway.

Marathon man Mohoric posts 2nd Tour de France stage winRace leader Pogacar closing in on repeat
Associated Press
LIBOURNE, France — Matej Mo-horic put a finger to his mouth then made a zipping-the-lips gesture be-fore he crossed the finish line.
Two days after police searched his hotel room at the Tour de France, the Slovenian champion had a message to his critics.
“It was a sign to show people that question our performances to be mindful that we are making huge sacrifices,” he said after posting a second stage win by surging solo from a breakaway group with a dart-ing attack on Friday.
“It’s the biggest race in the world, and also today we had to make the point that we are one of the best teams in the world and that we are on an even playing field.”
Mohoric, who rides for the Bah-rain Victorious team, made his move with 26 kilometers (16 miles) left in Stage 19 and produced a tremen-dous individual effort after spend-ing the day at the front.
His victory brought relief to his team, which was raided as part of a doping investigation. The Marseille prosecutor in charge of the case said a preliminary investigation tar-geting the team was opened on July 3 “for acquisition, transport,
possession, import of a substance or method prohibited for use by an ath-lete without medical justification.”
None of the Bahrain Victorious riders competing at the Tour has been publicly accused of wrongdoing.
“I was thinking mostly about what happened two days ago,” Mohoric said, when asked about his thoughts in the final kilometer. “When I felt like a criminal with all the police coming to our hotel.
“From one point of view, it’s a good thing, because it means there are still controls in the peloton and they are checking all the teams. But from another point of view ... it’s not a nice thing when the police walk into your room and search all your belongings.”
About 25 officers from a special public health unit (OCLAESP) in charge of the case were involved in the search, and Mohoric’s team said it was asked for all of its training files.
“Even if you have nothing to hide it feels a little bit weird ... when they go through your personal photos, the photos of your family, your phone and your messages,” Mohoric said. “At the end of the day I’ve got nothing to hide ... and I don’t care too much about other people check-ing my stuff, so it’s okay in the end I hope.”
Mohoric has stage wins at all three Grand Tours and is a special-ist of long solo efforts. The Slove-nian earned his first Tour stage win
by claiming the marathon stage of this year’s race, a 249-kilometer hilly trek in central France.
On paper, Friday’s 207-kilometer flat stage to the southwestern town of Libourne looked tailor-made for Mark Cavendish, but the British sprinter’s team did not try to catch the breakaway when it formed.
After matching Eddy Merckx’s all-time record of 34 stage wins last week, Cavendish will have another chance to break it during Sunday’s final stage, a mainly processional ride generally ending with a mass sprint on the Champs-Elysees.
Christophe Laporte was runner- up, 58 seconds off the pace, and Casper Pedersen completed the podium.
With none of the breakaway rid-ers a threat in the general classifica-tion, race leader Tadej Pogacar rode safely in the pack, crossing 20 min-utes, 50 seconds behind with his main rivals.
Barring an accident, the UAE Team Emirates rider should be crowned Tour champion for the sec-ond straight year. Pogacar has a huge lead of nearly six minutes over Jonas Vingegaard in the general classification. Richard Carapaz is third.
Before Sunday’s final stage, there is just one difficult stage remaining — a time trial through the Bordelais vineyards on Saturday. Pogacar ex-cels in the race against the clock and won the first time trial of this Tour, beating the pure specialists.

SRX smashes its way to a
theatrical closeJenna Fryer
AP auto racing writer
Tony Stewart was like everyone else in U.S. motor-sports this week, frequently checking social media to see Paul Tracy’s latest theatrics in a one-sided war against NASCAR golden girl Hailie Deegan.
Tracy has been furious — or could he just be play-ing the heel in a made-for-TV racing league? — be-cause 19-year-old Deegan had the audacity to spin him at Slinger Speedway in Wisconsin last week in the fifth round of the Superstar Racing Experience. The NBC Sports IndyCar analyst and former bad boy driver has milked the feud ever since, using Insta-gram as his preferred platform.
“It’s got me watching, looking every time he’s posted something new,” said Stewart, who along with fellow NASCAR Hall of Famer Ray Evernham is cred-ited with creating SRX.
The six-race series of somewhat randomly col-lected drivers from various forms of motorsports has entertained America by racing at grassroots short tracks across the country in a two-hour Saturday night show on CBS. The network had nothing to lose since hardly anyone is watching TV on a summer weekend night.
But people watched. A lot of people, actually, with more than a million tuning in to watch this hodge-podge group of former greats, up-and-comers and local ringers. Up next is a star-studded Saturday night finale at the old Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway in Tennessee, where reigning NASCAR champion Chase Elliott will race against his Hall of Fame father, Bill.
Chase beat his dad in their only other matchup, a 2013 late model race in Alabama. Odds are he will get the best of the 65-year-old again even though his fa-ther is an SRX regular. Bill Elliott has been racing with an injured hand since a crash three races ago but it is a rare chance to see father and son NASCAR champions race one another.
Back for her third race is Deegan, a regular in NA-SCAR’s Truck Series who joined SRX for two races as a fill-in when former Indianapolis 500 winner Tony Kanaan raced in Brazil.
With over 1 million Instagram followers, Deegan is probably the most popular among the general public of all the drivers in the field so SRX gave her another spot for the finale, even though Kanaan is also racing. Tracy’s antics haven’t hurt the buzz, either.
“I don’t know Paul well enough to know whether everything he’s posting is the gospel of what he’s feel-ing or if he’s just playing a role,” Stewart said. “He’s added a lot of excitement and carried the torch for everybody in that category. In the big picture, I think he’s great for SRX.”
Tracy has certainly added the personality element he’s long believed has vanished since his generation of renegade open-wheel racers retired. The 52-year-old Canadian understands what gets the public’s at-tention and he has gladly done his part.
The series was designed to be a little bit of every-thing — SRX has made adjustments based on fan feedback since its debut race — and its David vs. Go-liath angle has been rewarded three times. Doug Coby won the SRX opener as the home-track ringer at Stafford Motor Speedway in Connecticut; it earned Coby his first career NASCAR start in September in the Truck Series race at Bristol.

Scoreboard
fourth save.Charlie Morton, who won a com-
bined 18 games for Tampa Bay the last two seasons before signing with Atlanta, allowed three runs on six hits and three walks in six innings. He had eight strikeouts.
The Rays tied the game at 6-6 in the eighth with two runs off Chris Martin. Joey Wendle’s infield hit drove in Wander Franco, who sin-gled, from third base with the tying run.
After Rays starter Michael Wacha gave up a single to Almonte to start the bottom of the fifth, Freeman pulled a fastball from J.P Feyereisen over the right-field wall for his 20th homer and a 5-3 lead.
Wacha allowed four runs on five hits, including two homers, and two walks in four-plus innings.
The Rays cut the lead to 5-4 in the seventh. Wander Franco tripled to right field and scored on Austin Meadows’ sacrifice fly.
Outfielder Joe Pederson, acquired from the Chicago Cubs on Thursday, did not arrive in Atlanta in time to be included in the lineup. He was acti-vated and grounded out as a pinch-
hitter in the 10th to end the game.
TRAINER’S ROOMRays: RHP Nick Anderson threw
batting practice in Port Charlotte, Florida, for the first time since being told in March he has a partially torn ligament in his right elbow. Manager Kevin Cash said Anderson threw his fastball at 90 to 93 mph. “He came away from it feeling really good,” Cash said. ... RHP Chris Archer (right forearm tightness) is scheduled to make a minor league rehab start on Saturday.
Braves: RHP Touki Toussaint (right shoulder) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list and could make his 2021 debut on Tuesday against San Diego. ... RHP Ian Ander-son (right shoulder inflammation) was placed on the 10-day IL. He won’t throw for seven to 10 days and then will be evaluated. ... IF Johan Cam-argo was optioned to Triple-A Gwin-nett to clear a roster spot for Pederson.
UP NEXTBraves LHP Max Fried (6-5, 4.71)
will start in Saturday night’s second game of the series. He allowed one run in 6 2/3 innings in a 2-1 win over the Rays on July 30, 2020, at Truist Park. Tampa Bay hasn’t announced its starting pitcher.

Florida’s women’s hoops coach resigns for ‘personal reasons’
GAINESVILLE — Florida women’s basketball coach Cam Newbauer stepped down Friday for “personal rea-sons,” the school announced, a surpris-ing move that came six weeks after he signed a three-year contract extension.
Newbauer, hired from Belmont in March 2017, failed to turn around the school’s only sport to never win a confer-ence championship.
The 43-year-old Indiana native was 46-71 overall and 15-47 in Southeastern Conference play, including three three-win seasons in four years. Newbauer had four years remaining on a deal that paid him $500,000 annually.
His departure came two days after leading scorer Lavender Briggs entered the transfer portal, another indication the program was far from being on the right track.
Athletic Director Scott Stricklin named Kelly Rae Finley interim head coach for the 2021-22 season. Stricklin said he
plans to hire a permanent replacement following next season.
AP source: US adding McGee, Johnson after
Love withdrawalKevin Love has withdrawn from the
Olympics because of a right calf injury, forcing the U.S. basketball team to re-place two players on its roster.
Veteran center JaVale McGee and Spurs guard Keldon Johnson will be added to the 12-man Olympics roster, a person with knowledge of the details said Friday. The person spoke to The Associ-ated Press on condition of anonymity be-cause the additions had not been announced.
It means the much of the U.S. roster will have little time together before its Olympic opener July 25 against France.
Love’s withdrawal comes a day after the Americans announced that Washing-ton Wizards guard Bradley Beal would miss the Olympics because he was in health and safety protocols.

us,” Suns coach Monty Williams said. “You know Chris Paul, I mean, every-body in here has seen him. There’s not a person in our locker room that’s not expecting him to not come out and play really well the next game.”
The Bucks aren’t concerned about their biggest star. Antetokounmpo seems far beyond the hyperextended left knee that forced him to miss their final two victories in the Eastern Con-ference finals.
After consecutive 40-point perfor-mances in Games 2 and 3, he ceded the leading scorer role to Middleton but still came up with 26 points, 14 re-bounds and eight assists.
No matter what happens the rest of the series, he has secured a spot in NBA Finals highlight reels for years to come with his block. It’s already
been replayed countless times in the two days since, but Antetokounmpo said he hadn’t watched it again him-self until the Bucks’ film session Friday.
“I cannot explain the play, but at the end of the day that’s in the past,” the two-time MVP said. “When you talk about the past, that’s your ego talking. It’s in the past, over with. I got to move on. I got to keep making win-ning plays. I got to keep competing. I got to keep finding ways to help my team be great.”
The Bucks are in search of a second championship to add to the one Ka-reem Abdul-Jabbar and Oscar Robert-son led them to 50 years ago. They could do it at home in Game 6 on Tues-day — provided they can finally break through on the Suns’ home floor.
“It’s going to be a battle,” Bucks guard Jrue Holiday said. “But I think both sides know the price and both have a goal. You’ve just got to leave it out there.”
GAME 5Continued from Page B1
Open last month.“I’m not really going to think about
the second spots,” said Oosthuizen, when asked what he’ll do differently this time. “I know my game is in a good place.”
He’ll also be aware of the quality of player behind him, though.
Morikawa, making quite a debut in links golf, made seven birdies in his first 14 holes as part of a clinic in iron play. He missed a 5-foot par putt on No. 15 — ending a 27-hole stretch with-out a bogey — and had a 10-foot birdie putt on the final hole catch the lip.
Spieth, four shots behind Morikawa when he teed off, was tied for the lead after 12 holes and then played the last six holes in 1 over, a stretch he de-scribed as “frustrating.” He had plenty of looks at birdie, but the putts didn’t drop like they did on Thursday.
“I don’t know, I think I need to bring more food on the golf course tomor-row,” said Spieth, who has already lifted the claret jug before at Royal Birkdale in 2017. “I got really just in a weird head space, like fatigued there on like the 13th green as we were waiting and hitting putts.”
Then there was Johnson, a run-ner-up at Royal St. George’s in 2011, who stuck his approach at the last to 3 feet for a birdie and a round of 65, which left him at 7 under with Dylan Frittelli of South Africa (67) and Scot-tie Scheffler (66).
The weather is expected to stay be-nign over the weekend, potentially favoring Johnson if the fairways firm up and the ball runs longer and faster.
“I feel like I’m in a good position heading into the weekend,” he said.
One shot behind an eclectic mix of players at 6 under — including two more South Africans in Justin Hard-ing and Daniel Van Tonder as well as Germany’s Marcel Siem, who quali-fied from a second-tier Challenge Tour event last week — were Rahm (64) and Brooks Koepka.
Koepka, a four-time major winner and seemingly always in contention at golf ’s biggest events, made four bird-ies in his last five holes for a 66, then continued his petty feud with Bryson DeChambeau with perhaps the best shot of his round.
During a television interview, Koepka said he was driving it great, adding: “I love my driver” — a clear nod at DeChambeau, who complained on Thursday that his driver “sucks.”
DeChambeau doesn’t look like being a factor this weekend at Royal St. George’s but he’s sticking around after shooting a 70, which saw him make the cut on the number at 1 over.
Rory McIlroy will be, too, needing a birdie on the final hole for another 70. He was 11 shots behind and set to stay on four majors until 2022.
“That’s sort of been the way for the last couple months,” McIlroy said. “It’s felt close, but it just hasn’t quite been close enough.”
Other big names weren’t so lucky: No. 7 Patrick Cantlay, No. 9 Patrick Reed and former Open champions Francesco Molinari and Henrik Sten-son were among those headed home.
A sign of the favorable weather that has confronted the world’s best play-ers this week — there was barely a drop of wind at times on Friday — is the fact the cut was at 1-over 141. The previous lowest cut at Royal St. George’s was 143.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL
Associated PressBoston’s Christian Arroyo, center, celebrates with teammate Rafael Devers, left, as New York catcher Gary Sanchez, right, looks away during the second inning Friday in New York.
THIS DATE IN BASEBALL1924 — Jesse Haines of the St.
Louis Cardinals pitched a 5-0 no-hitter against the Boston Braves.
1936 — Carl Hubbell’s 24-game win-ning streak over two years began as he beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-0 on five hits.
1941 — Joe DiMaggio’s hitting streak of 56 games was stopped by Al Smith and Jim Bagby of the Indians before 67,000 at Cleveland. The Yankees still won, 4-3.
1956 — In the second game of a doubleheader against Kansas City, Ted Williams hit his 400th career home run. Williams connected in the sixth inning off Tom Gorman to give the Red Sox a 1-0 win over the A’s.
1966 — Chicago’s Billy Williams hit for the cycle to lead the Cubs to a 7-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals in the second game of a Sunday double-header. Williams singled in the first in-ning, doubled in the third, had an RBI-triple in the fifth, homered to center in the seventh and popped out to third baseman in foul territory. The Cardinals took the opener 4-3 in 11 innings.
1969 — Jim Kaat, Gold Glove winner for seven straight years, was charged with three errors, leading to three un-earned runs against the Chicago White Sox. Nevertheless, he won the game at Minnesota 8-5.
1974 — Bob Gibson struck out Cesar Geronimo of the Reds in the second inning to become the second pitcher in major league history to record
3,000 strikeouts. Cincinnati beat St. Louis, 6-4.
1978 — Doc Medich of the Texas Rangers saved the life of a 61-year-old fan who had a heart attack just before a scheduled game at Baltimore. Medich, a medical student, administered heart massage until help arrived.
1987 — Don Mattingly became the first AL player to hit at least one home run in each of seven consecutive games as the New York Yankees dis-posed of the Texas Rangers 8-4.
1990 — Minnesota became the first team in major league history to pull off two triple plays in one game, but it wasn’t enough to overcome Boston as the Red Sox beat the Twins 1-0.
2007 — Ryan Garko hit a game-tying pinch-hit home run in the ninth inning and singled home the winning run in the 11th to give Cleveland a 6-5 win over the Chicago White Sox.
2011 — Dustin Pedroia singled with two outs in the top of the 16th inning, snapping a scoreless tie and giving the Red Sox a 1-0 victory over the Rays. It was the longest 1-0 game in the major leagues since the Brewers at Angels on June 8, 2004 went 17 innings.
2016 — Starling Marte hit a solo home run in the 18th inning and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Washington Nationals 2-1 in a marathon game that lasted almost six hours. Pinch-hitter Daniel Murphy homered with two outs in the ninth inning for Washington.

Michael Levine, in “Lessons at the Halfway Point,” wrote, “Suc-cessful people are very lucky. Just ask any failure.”
Often when you give yourself a small extra chance to make a con-tract, it bears no fruit. Either the cards are so friendly that even the second-best play would have worked, or they are so foul that nothing succeeds. But if you keep trying, eventually a deal will come
along on which your excellent tech-nique is rewarded.
If you would like to see whether you are in midseason form, cover the East-West cards and plan your play in three spades. West starts by cashing three diamond winners, then shifts to a club.
There are days when you wish your partner had stayed in bed. North had that feeling after his partner opened three spades. But luckily no one doubled — and South even made the contract!
After the three diamonds and club switch, declarer won in the dummy and cashed the heart win-ners to discard his club loser. Now he had to avoid two spade losers. If the opposing trumps were divided 3-3, there was nothing South could do; he would have to lose tricks to both the jack and king. But if they were breaking 4-2, he had one chance: an opponent holding jack-doubleton. (Finding someone with king-doubleton would do no good, as the jack would eventually score a trick.)
Declarer ruffed a club back to hand, cashed the spade ace and continued with the spade queen. South felt the appearance of the jack on his right was only right and proper! Declarer ruffed the heart return, drew trumps and claimed nine tricks.

Movie: Nobody Will Believe You
Melanie desperately wants to make a new start for herself and her teenage daughter, Han-nah, a promising pianist, after a tough year for both of them emotionally. Hannah tries to fit in at her new school, but her classmates — especially the more popular ones — want nothing to do with her. Melanie watches with concern as Han-nah becomes more and more fragile, especially after some-one hacks her phone and leaks some embarrassing photos. Jenna Rosenow, Emily Top-per, John Wright and Lowrey Brown star in this 2021 thriller.

Cold JusticeIn the new episode “Deadly Premonition,” veteran prose-cutor Kelly Siegler and detec-tive Steve Spingola travel to smalltown Rosenberg, Texas, to search for answers in the un-
solved murder of a father who apparently doted on his family, yet was savagely beaten and fatally shot in his home. His 6-year-old daughter was asleep in the home at the time. Siegler and Spingola hope that some secret audio recordings found in the attic of the home may point them to the killer’s identity.

Say Yes to the DressThe approach of wedding season sends legions of al-tar-bound young women and their families to the nuptial mecca of Kleinfeld Bridal for
help in realizing their vision of a perfect wedding. Series host Randy Fenoli can’t be person-ally present for every salon consultation, but he’s ushering in a new virtual era of the dis-tinctive Kleinfeld experience. Among this year’s clients are a blind bride-to-be who hopes to find her perfect silhouette and a throuple with two brides shar-ing a single budget.

Family or FiancéRelationship coach Tracy Mc-Millan returns to work with en-gaged couples who desperately seek the blessing of their resis-tant loved ones as this reality series opens its second round. In the season premiere, “Shae and Will: Drama With the In-Laws,” tempers flare when an engaged man tries to force his parents into accepting his much younger fiancée, even though they strongly suspect she may be the reason that his last mar-riage ended in divorce. As a consequence, his mom makes it clear that she has no interest in a new daughter-in-law.

Dear Annie: I live in a small town. My mother died a couple of years
ago, and around that same time, a friend of mine had just lost his home and was looking for someplace to live. So, I told him he could move in with me and help pay the bills. It’s been a good arrangement for us both. But I recently learned that people have been spread-ing ru-mors that I’m gay — which I’m not. I date w o m e n , although I’m cur-r e n t l y single. (I had my heart bro-ken last year, and I’ve been hesitant to date again.) What should I do about t h i s g o s s i p ? — Mischaracterized
Dear Mischaracterized: These folks must be pretty bored to sit at home making up stories about you. It brings to mind a saying commonly at-tributed to Eleanor Roosevelt: “Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.” My advice to you is to keep liv-ing your life; let the small minds waste theirs. Focus on mending that broken heart.
Dear Annie: I think your ad-vice to “Helpless Husband” —and to anyone who lives or has lived with someone in active addiction — was spot on. I would like to add that it is in-credibly helpful to find a group that has a “beginners meeting” in addition to the regular Al-Anon Family Group meeting.
I tried several different meetings, but I never seemed to understand what was going on. Everyone was friendly and familiar with one another, and even though they were very welcoming, I felt a bit out of place, and I stopped going. It wasn’t until I was referred to an Al-Anon Family Group that had a beginners meeting alongside their regular meet-ing that I finally felt comfort-able. Being with other “beginners” was super helpful because we were all learning about the program, and when we finally joined the larger group, we could follow along and actively participate. My group recommends six begin-ner meetings. (During our lockdown-era weekly Zoom meetings, because we couldn’t really leave and go into an-other room for a beginner meeting, several members would stay on at the end to have a smaller beginners meeting for any newcomers who wished to stay on the call.)
I would also like to add that each meeting has its own per-sonality, and it may take going to a few different groups be-fore you find your tribe; please don’t give up! I have been with my group for two years now, and I can honestly say working with the Al-Anon program has changed my life in ways I could have never imagined. I thank my lucky stars for these people and this program every day. —Grateful Member
Dear Grateful: I will gladly take any chance I can to rec-ommend Al-Anon. It truly is a wonderful program, and I hope your firsthand testimo-nial encourages others to give it a try. Meeting details, includ-ing for telephone and virtual meetings, are available at https://www.al-anon.org.
Dear Annie: It seems some people write to you who get frustrated with loved ones who vent about the same situations over and over, without taking constructive steps. I have three grown children, and my youngest likes to vent about work situations in that way. She definitely does not want advice — yet as a parent, I al-ways want to fix her problem. My solution was to put the shush emoji next to her name in my cellphone. It reminds me not to give unsolicited ad-vice. — Parent Who Knows
Dear PWK: This is a clever tip. When we remember that friends are usually just looking for an ear, we save ourselves a lot of trouble. People seldom take solicited advice, let alone unsolicited advice.
