TALLAHASSEE — Saying he could no longer remain silent, Pasco County Su- pervisor of Elections Brian Corley issued a rare and lengthy statement this week castigating people he said are imperiling the nation’s democracy by casting doubt on the outcome of the presidential contest. Corley, a lifelong Republican, did not identify President Donald Trump by name in the roughly 900-word screed re- leased Wednesday. But the comments from Corley, who’s served as the Pasco elections chief since 2007, came as Trump and his allies con- tinue to wage court battles and the pres- ident fires off tweets to tens of millions of followers asserting that the election re- sults were “rigged.” “While I recognize the apolitical re- sponsibility of my elected position, I can- not stand by as my work, and the work of all professional elections’ administra- tors, becomes the scapegoat of those seeking political gain,” Corley wrote.

Dunnellon Community Thrift Shop volunteer Jan Salter, left, recently met with Albert Smith, director of the St. John Catholic Church Emergency Relief Fund, to present a $2,000 check in support of their work. The mission of the organization is to help the needy and to provide emergency funds for rent, utility bills and gas money to enable clients to travel to medical appointments or job interviews. They can assist with paperwork to apply for programs that can help solve monetary difficulties for the longer term. Information and assistance are also available for new mothers and for the homeless, and they also have a food pantry. Hours for these programs are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays. Call 352-533-1466 for an appointment. The Dunnellon Community Thrift Shop is back in the business of helping our community. Though working on a reduced schedule to protect their more vulnerable workers, the shop is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Customers are urged to practice safe distancing and the wearing of face masks while in the shop. Special to the Chronicle

Nancy Kennedy GRACE NOTES Advent: the promise of something good

s a kid, we used to have an Ad- vent calendar every year, Acounting the days until Christmas. Usually made from heavy paper and lots of glitter, it was shaped like a Christmas tree with 25 little windows we’d open, one each day from Dec. 1 to Dec. 25. I don’t remember what was behind each window, maybe a picture or some words. I just remember the feel- ing of getting closer to the Big Day, the anticipation and excitement, the promise of something good. Recently, I read about the “46 best Special to the Chronicle Christmas Advent calendars of 2020.” On Saturday, Nov. 22, 2020, 83 families were served bags of non-food essentials at the Beyond the Bread ministry of North Oak Apparently, Advent calendars have Church in Citrus Springs. The ministry is usually the fourth Saturday monthly along with the church’s Food Pantry; however, for changed since I was a kid. Now November, it was offered on the third Saturday so folks would have what they needed before Thanksgiving. December’s ministry there’s one for everyone’s tastes and will be 10 a.m. to noon Dec. 19. In January, the ministry will return to the fourth Saturday monthly.

SEC Pirates pull away revamps December schedule Charles Odum AP sports writer

The Southeastern Conference has announced a revamped sched- ule for Dec. 12 and Dec. 19, includ- ing Vanderbilt’s game at No. 11 Georgia that could not be played as scheduled on Saturday because of coronavirus concerns. The rescheduled games an- nounced Friday were made neces- sary following postponements due to the SEC’s COVID-19 protocols. Vanderbilt was forced to post- pone Saturday’s game at Georgia because the Commodores’ roster fell below minimum requirements. The game has been rescheduled for Dec. 19. With Vanderbilt’s specialists un- able to participate at Missouri last week due to the COVID-19 proto- cols, Sarah Fuller made history as the first woman to play in a Power Five conference game. Fuller kicked off to open the second half of Missouri’s 41-0 win and was ex- pected to be in uniform again for the game against Georgia. The COVID-19 concerns are not limited to the SEC. No. 3 Ohio State appeared to be on track to play after school offi- cials canceled last week’s trip to Illinois due to a spike in COVID-19 cases. Ohio State said Friday in a statement it was prepared to travel Friday to East Lansing, Michigan, for its Saturday game against Mich- igan State. No. 13 Oklahoma also appears set to get back on the field after its game last week against West Vir- ginia was postponed. The Sooners host Baylor on Saturday. This week, 12 of 56 games sched- uled were postponed or canceled.
