BREVARD CountyHOMETOWN NEWS

It’s a new year and many of us havemade resolutions. Some of us havealready broken them. We may want toexercise more, eat better or lose weight.Perhaps we want to reconnect withfriends and family. Some of us may wantto try something new. That’s our focusthis month.

In this issue of Forever Young, you’llmeet people who tried something theyhadn’t done before. In some cases it wasexercising or taking up a sport. In othercases, it was a change in career or a newpursuit after retirement. Some of thepeople had physical limitations. Othershad survived cancer and rethought theirpriorities.

The common thread for all the stories isthat it is never too late to try somethingnew. It doesn’t have to be a life-changingmove. Sometimes it’s as simple as taking

up bridge or ballroom dancing.All of the people interviewed for these

pages have taken that first step, the hard-est one of all. Most were apprehensive.Many were afraid they’d make fools ofthemselves. They decided not let thatbother them.

What they found was that challengingthemselves kept them young, gave themconfidence and made them feel betterabout themselves.

We hope you will take that message toheart. If there is something you’ve alwayswanted to do, perhaps this is the year yougive it a try.

As a reminder, you can read all the sto-ries in this month’s edition by visiting ourwebsite, www.hometownewsol.com. Clickon the Forever Young symbol. You can fol-low your neighbors throughout the Spaceand Treasure Coast this way.

We hope you’ll take the time to checkthem out and, as always, we welcomeyour comments.

Life gave him orangesAndy Graham and Pepper take a

break from working in his 12-

acre citrus grove near the Bre-

vard-Volusia county line. Mr.

Graham was a lawyer for 34 years

prior to owning the citrus grove.

Lawyer turns to simpler life

MIMS – Andrew Graham was a hard-driving trial lawyer for many years,arguing cases before the FloridaSupreme Court. For 34 years, heworked in an adversarial system whereopponents were the enemy.

In 1991, while still practicing law,Mr. Graham bought a 12-acre citrusgrove near the Brevard-Volusia countyline.

“In 1988, there was a series offreezes,” he said. “The one on Christ-mas Eve was the worst in maybe 100years. It killed groves. My plan was tobuy a dead grove and raise grapes for

wine. I came up here to a lovely grovethat was all overgrown since the freeze.

“It took me a year to clean it up tosee what was alive. Some 600 of the1,100 trees were alive, so I said, ‘well,heck, I’ll just become a citrus farmer.’”

It took Mr. Graham three years,working on the weekends, to prune thetrees and clear the debris.

“It’s a great hobby for a trial lawyer,”he said.

You’re alone with your tractor ortruck. I spent 30 years in a confronta-tional arena. It’s a great get-away.

In 2007, as Mr. Graham nearedretirement, he and his son, Clifford,built a log cabin, again on weekends.Mr. Graham’s mother, who has

Alzheimer’s and could no longer livealone, moved in with him.

By then, he had learned a great dealabout the land and about himself.

His groves had as many maturesabal palms as they did citrus trees. Thelawyer took his time decided what todo.

“Most groves took out the palms,” hesaid. “They’re hard on the equipment. Ileft them. I did research and found that100 years ago, most farmers left themas protections from freezes anddrought.”

Mr. Graham never used pesticides,relying on beneficial insects from thenearby maritime hammock, a rareecosystem next to the grove. .

“I stopped using herbicides andswitched to organic fertilizer in 2007,”he said. “I use no chemicals at all now.”

Mr. Grahams learned many lessonsabout citrus growing and more aboutlife.

“I have a different view of time,” hesaid. “I understand things in terms ofyears and not minutes. If I don’t get tomy To Do list today, there is tomorrow.There are no deadlines. The fruit getsripe when it gets ripe.

“My earliest fruit are navel orangesand tangerines. They usually ripen justbefore Thanksgiving. They ripenedearly this year. They do what they do

MELBOURNE — In choosing hiscareer, Bill Williams looked to his grand-father and his father.

“My grandfather came over fromGermany around 1900,” he said. “Hedidn’t want to be a tailor and the unclewho brought him up was a tailor. Hedidn’t like the restrictions of life in Ger-many.”

Mr. Williams’ grandfather started atropical fish business, eventuallyexpanding it to landscaping. He didn’tget rich, Mr. Williams said, but he washappy.

“My father wanted to be a footballcoach and went to Colgate, but theDepression came and he got marriedand never got his degree. He wound upbeing a stockbroker. He made a lotmore money than my grandfather, buthe never was very happy.”

Mr. Williams decided that he wouldfollow his passions.

“In junior high, I wanted to be amarine biologist, an electrical engineeror a moviemaker,” he said. “The marinebiology was probably from my grandfa-ther. The engineer was because I want-ed to be a scientist and work on rockets.The moviemaking was from playingaround with my parents’ camera.”

Mr. Williams chose electrical engi-neering as the passion most likely tosucceed.

“I loved it,” he said. “I love rocketsand jumped in with both feet.”

Mr. Williams worked for GeneralElectric and Lockheed, moving to CapeCanaveral in 1976. In 1980, he moved toMartin Marietta in Orlando, working onthe Pershing II missile. From there hewent into missile guidance softwaredevelopment.

“It was an absolute blast,” he said. “Ihad the good fortune to be doing thingsI could not have dreamed of as a kid. Ican’t think of a cooler job for that littlekid who wanted to work on rockets. I’dhave done it for free. That’s how much

fun it was.”Mr. Williams was 32. He had

achieved what he’d wanted to in thatcareer choice.

“I started thinking ‘what’s next?’” hesaid. “I’ve got a whole lot of life left.”

Mr. Williams began looking intoanother of his childhood passions.

In the mid-1980s, video productionequipment was getting smaller andinexpensive enough. He made a deci-sion that the next career he was goinginto was video production.

Mr. Williams took courses at BrevardCommunity College and spent severalyears honing his skills. In 1988, while hewas still working at Martin Marietta, heopened A Cut Above Video Productions.In 1990, he left engineering to work athis new career full-time.

“A lot of people have left engineer-ing unwillingly and been forced to thinkabout what they wanted to do,” he said.

“I went willingly. I never lost sight of

Man honored for rescue workMELBOURNE — Dennis Tyler

spent 29 years as a mechanic at theKennedy Space Center, retiring in2000. That was his career. His callingbegan in 1991, when he met his firstgreyhound, Clara Voyant. He tolearned about the need for homes forthe racing dogs when their careerswere finished, through injury or age.

Dennis and his wife, Claire,

became active in greyhound rescueand have placed more than 7,000dogs up and down the East Coast.This past August, “People” magazinerecognized Dennis Tyler as a “HeroAmong Us” for his work with Grey-hound Pets of America of CentralFlorida, a group the Tylersfounded. It all began, he said, withClara Voyant.

“She was the girl next door,” Mr.Tyler said. “Our neighbor raced andraised greyhounds. Our two dogs,

who were not greyhounds, had diedand I was interested in a new dog. Isaw the greyhounds and the neighborhad one that was to be retired.

“I went to the track and met thedog, but I didn’t know about adoptiongroups. I became interested when Ilearned how many are in need ofadoption.”

Florida is the center of greyhoundracing in the United States.

“Years ago, there were 50 tracks inthe country,” Mr. Tyler said. “Now

there are only 22 and 13 are in Flori-da. Some are year-round and someseasonal. Some tracks have 1,200dogs.”

Some of the dogs that Mr. Tylerplaces have finished their racingcareer and are four or five years old.Some are younger.

An easy way to stay informed on the electionOn Jan. 31, Florida Republican voters go

to the polls to say who’ll get Florida’s dele-gates to the GOP national convention inTampa this August.

While Florida Democrats won’t vote in apresidential primary – most observers sayit’s virtually certain that the Democraticnational convention will nominate Presi-dent Obama – Florida’s Jan. 31 primaryelection could play a major role in the out-come of the race for the Republican nomi-nation.

To help older Floridians sort out wherecandidates stand on issues important tovoters 50+, AARP Florida is helping votersto track the candidates’ positions – espe-cially on critical pocketbook issues suchas protecting and strengthening SocialSecurity and Medicare.

AARP is nonpartisan and does notendorse candidates for any election orcontribute money to any political-actioncommittee or campaign. AARP does work

to educate its 37 million members, includ-ing 2.7 million members in Florida, on keyissues.

In October, an AARP Florida pollshowed a significant and troubling gapbetween where some Republican candi-dates stood on cuts to Social Security andMedicare and where Florida Republicanvoters stood.

The poll showed that by huge margins –at least two to one– GOP voters stoutlyopposed cuts to future recipients’ SocialSecurity benefits, or cuts to Medicare ben-efits, as a way to reduce the federal deficit.

For example, Florida Republicans whoidentified themselves as Tea Party sup-porters, and who also said they hadattended Tea Party events, opposed cutsto Social Security for future beneficiariesas a way to reduce the deficit by a marginof 56.1 to 37.9 percent. The same votersopposed cuts to Medicare as a way toreduce the deficit by 62.1 to 31.8 percent,almost exactly two to one.

In other groups of Florida Republican

voters, the margins were far more lop-sided. Hispanic Republicans opposedSocial Security cuts as a deficit-reductionmeasure by 84.5 percent to 13.5 percent, acrushing six-to-one margin. While FloridaRepublicans overall opposed cuts toMedicare as a means of reducing thedeficit by 70.4 percent to 22.2 percent,Hispanic Republicans opposed Medicarecuts 77 percent to 16.5 percent, more thana four-to-one margin.

Yet much of the political buzz about theGOP primary has centered on ideas forcutting Social Security benefits for futureretirees, or reductions to Medicare reim-bursements, as a way of lowering the fed-eral government’s operating deficit.

AARP believes this poll shows a startlingdisconnect between what Washingtonand the candidates are thinking aboutSocial Security and Medicare, and whatFlorida GOP voters want them to do.

The poll showed that those FloridaRepublicans likely to vote in the Jan. 31primary are overwhelmingly 50+, for

whom Social Security and Medicare arevery important issues.

AARP Florida believes it can play animportant role by helping voters learnwhere candidates stand on these criticalissues.

To make sure voters are getting accurateinformation, we have posted uneditedvideo voters’ guides in which several can-didates explain their views on Social Secu-rity and Medicare in their own words. Thevoters’ guide can be found atwww.aarp.org/youearnedit

If you’re registered as a Democrat orindependent, stay tuned for AARP’s voter-education efforts later in the year. Ourassociation will focus on helping votersget access to important information onstate and Congressional candidates andissues in preparation for primary elec-tions in August and general elections inNovember.

Iam a man of manyinterests andhobbies. Since I was

a kid I have been aserious fisherman and I

have pursued that hobbyall across the United States.

I have fly fished for brooktrout in the rushingstreams of the high Rocky

Mountains, trolled forsalmon and walleye in the

Great Lakes, trapped crawfish inthe swamps of Louisiana, andcaught horned pout in Maine. I

have landed bonito in SouthernCalifornia and scooped up grunionfrom the beach. I have caughtcutthroat trout in Idaho and largemouth bass from the SanteeCooper in South Carolina. With a flyrod I caught small mouth, northern

and white bass in the Wolf Riverwest of Green Bay, Wisconsin. Ofcourse, I have caught most of thefish that swim in Florida watersboth fresh and salt.

I have given fishing my all. For most of my life I have also

been a car guy and have restoredmany classic autos. I did a 1959Chevy pick-up, a very rare 1960Facel Vega, one of only 200 hand-made in Paris, France. I had a 1970Mercedes, a 1977 Lincoln Versailles,a ’47 Chrysler sedan, a 1966 Ply-mouth Valiant, and a Bricklin gullwing sports car. I did a fabulous1949 Chrysler Woody Convertibleand many more. I loved each andevery one of them.

I am a lifelong sports fan andchased most of the balls when I wasa young man. It was my honor to

see Roberto Clemente play inPittsburgh’s venerable Forbes Fieldand I saw Sandy Koufax pitch inChavez Ravine. I watched StanMusial play a game against WillieMays in the original Bush Stadiumin St. Louis. As a young man I saw agame between the old WashingtonSenators and the PhiladelphiaAthletics in D.C. I saw HarmonKillebrew hit one out in Minneapo-lis, and Ernie Banks do the same in

A man of many interests is never bored

Document yoursources in genealogy

You’ve been researching yourfamily and entering names, datesand other pieces of the puzzle,but have you noted where youobtained this information? Willyou remember where you foundit, next month, next year, or 10years from now? The answer is aguaranteed “No.” So, startingtoday, document everythingbefore you get too far down theroad and have to backtrack. Thiswill help your research tremen-dously in the future, when youneed to find that elusive bit ofinformation that will help youclimb the inevitable brick wall. Italso gives other researchersconfidence in your work.

When I first started research-ing, I excitedly took down everyfact I found. Of course it wascorrect, it was right there on theofficial document, in the book atthe library, or Grandmother toldme. Fortunately, I did get copiesof most of the official documents,or can remember where thetombstone is, but I didn’t actuallydocument it in my database.There are still many facts in mydatabase that are not document-ed properly. It is still one of mymajor downfalls, getting caughtup in the story and not wantingto take the time to document.

Sending your genealogy outinto the world without citingyour sources is sending it outwith no validation. Almostinvariably, when I find someexciting new fact about myancestor, there is no sourcegiven. This leaves me totally inthe dark. Exactly where did thisdate, spouse name, etc., comefrom? Someone must haveknown, but chances are, theperson that put the informationon the Internet, or in the book,just copied it from someone else,who also copied it from someone.As far as I know, it could have,and might as well be, just madeup to suit the purpose.

Each fact recorded for yourancestor should be documentedwith the exact location fromwhere it was obtained. A source,regardless of how informal, iswhere we obtained the informa-tion. It may have come from aprobate record, family Bible,census record, or from GrandmaBessy. Everything needed foranother researcher to find thissource, should be included. Thisleaves a trail for you, as well asothers who want to follow yourline of descent.

Traditionally, sources havebeen classified as primary andsecondary. A primary record isone created close to the event,such a birth or marriage record orby a person reasonably knowl-edgeable about the event. Asecondary record is one that wascreated sometime later. Thesecondary source is not viewed asbeing as accurate as a primarysource, since time and distanceoften dims memories and dis-torts the facts. So a secondarysource should always be backedup with as many other sources aspossible, including a primary onewhen available.

All that said, there are nosources that are guaranteed asbeing correct. Death certificatesoften contain wrong information,with the informant not knowingthe deceased birth date or par-ent’s names. Tombstones alsofrequently contain incorrectinformation. A relative in ourfamily is actually buried underthe wrong name. This makes astrong case for thoroughlyresearching each person andfinding as many sources as youSee GENEALOGY, Page 13

A champagne and cinnamon toast New Year!ANew Year! A new calendar! All the

doctor’s appointments have beencrossed off – birthdays celebrated

– holidays enjoyed … Time to do it allover again!

There was a time in my life that Ithought New Year’s Eve was the moth-er of all adult parties. Celebrating withfriends, wearing spandex and heelsand feeling like I had a terrible flu thenext day were the norm.

Until motherhood descended.When my fledglings were still in the

nest and snuggled in by 9 p.m. I wasthe Waker. I woke them all to come sitwith me and watch the ball drop, andwas usually rewarded with daughterNo. 1 moaning, “That’s nice Mom…can we go back to bed now?” Andmumbled grumblings from daughtersNo. 2 through four concerning thesanity of waking someone up in themiddle of the night to watch TV whenthe waker informs them daily thatthey watch too much TV.

As they will … years and life eventsfly past in a blur of school plays,report cards, (theirs) job transfers andthe gaining of a few pounds (Mine).Now I’m the Wakee. “Mom! You saidyou would come and celebrate withus! The ball is going to drop in fiveminutes and we are making raisintoast, do you want yours with creamcheese?” When I asked this enthusias-tic 12-year-old why we were celebrat-ing with raisin toast, the answer madeperfect sense. “Partiers sip cham-pagne to celebrate, champagne ismade from grapes, and grapes turninto raisins!”

This champagne cousin makes awonderful toast, literally. Especially if

enjoyed snuggled on the couch withloved ones and hot tea served in thegood china.

More life changing events for myoffspring … graduations, coming ofage, starting college, two of them liv-ing on their own - more poundageadded to my hips — and I havebecome both the Waker and theWakee. This provided me with theopportunity to to question the mentalstability of the Wakers. I answered thegiggly midnight call with, “What theheck are you doing out on the worstnight of the year?! You’re not drinking,are you? Do you really think callingthe one person who worries aboutyou with each breath is the mostmentally balanced thing to do? Yes, Ilove you, and I thank you from thebottom my heart for thinking aboutyour mother and raisin bread whenyou could be kissing someone. Can Igo back to bed now?”

The tears that flowed when thedoorbell rang and my offspringwalked in toting loaves of raisin breadand cream cheese while I was stillholding the phone dried quickly as wewoke their siblings to join us. Onlynow it was child No. 5 who wasdeclaring the loss of mental cog-nizance by the three of us. To this dayhe still allows he had to eat six piecesof toast because he feared for hishealth should he refuse. The rest of usallow we feared for his health shouldhe eat the seventh. A word to the wise:Chasing-a-caffeine-and-raisin-filled6-year-old around the couch to rip asmashed piece of toast from his handis best not done in a nylon gown andbunny slippers, while laughing hys-terically.

The New Year’s Eve that rolledaround after several more gradua-tions, a couple of new additions to our

my father and grandfather. I was 40years old when I jumped ship. I saidthat if don’t do it now, if I wait until I’m50, I won’t have the guts to do it.”

In his first year, Mr. Williams lost$29,000.

“I went undaunted and mortgagedmy house,” he said.

“I did what it took to do a major busi-ness expansion to get into the broad-cast world. That led me to be very com-petitive at a high level in thiscommunity.”

Mr. Williams said that all of his deci-sions were not correct, but his decisionto follow his heart was.

“I haven’t regretted it,” he said. “I’d bea lot wealthier if I’d stayed in aerospacebut I wouldn’t be happier. I didn’t wantto have any regrets and I don’t. Pursueyour passion. It has not let me down.”

make it by two. If they’re injured,they’re retired. Once they are nolonger competitive, they’re fin-ished.”

There are usually about 800-900dogs available for adoption at anyone time. Mr. Tyler’s kennels are atMelbourne Greyhound Park and hisgroup is the track’s adoption agency.

Mr. Tyler said that there are a lot ofmisconceptions about the dogs.

“They’re a misunderstood breed,”he said. “They’re 45-mile-per-hourcouch potatoes. They’re almost cat-like. They’re affectionate and theylean on you. They’re pretty laid back.Most are outgoing, and they’re quietand clean. If they go out in a rain-storm, when they come in, theydon’t smell like dog. Some allergicpeople can tolerate them.”

Mr. Tyler is serious about the dogsin his care.

“We do a home visit,” he said. “Weask if it’s really worthy of one of our

dogs. We want to know if it’s a goodsituation and if they understandabout greyhounds. They can’t be leftoff-leash. If they see something theywant, they go.

“We will adopt to people with chil-dren, and we weigh each case indi-vidually. We don’t recommend themfor infants. Males tolerate kids bet-ter; like us, they leave the room if thekids bother them.”

Adoption costs $220, but thatincludes spaying or neutering, aspecial collar and lead designed forthe greyhound’s small neck andhead, and identification collar, sixmonths of heartworm medicine, abook on greyhounds and a crate onloan for the first week, to acclimatethe dog to the house.

Two weeks ago, the Tylers drove upthe east coast to Buffalo, N.Y., deliv-ering dogs for adoption to groupsalong the way. They made the trip in23 hours, driving straight through.They bought a hauler years agowhen they didn’t like the way a com-mercial mover treated the animals.

While Mr. Tyler is the public face

of greyhound rescues, his wife,Claire, plays as important a role.

“She doesn’t get the recognition,”he said. “She’s the treasurer. She’sraised a lot of money through onlineauctions and events like our “Woofs-tock,’ a get-together with games. It’sa big fundraiser. She is very support-ive, thank God. She has to drivewhen I’m asleep.”

Mr. Tyler said that while racing isless popular, he still worries aboutthe dogs that remain.

“It’s getting harder for us to do,” hesaid. “We’re both 65. A lot of thepeople involved are older. Therearen’t younger people stepping up tothe plate.”

Twenty years ago, Dennis andClaire Tyler did just that.

For more information about grey-hound adoptions or upcomingfundraising events, visit the websitewww.floridagreyhounds.com or callMr. Tyler at (321) 242-9010. Dona-tions are welcome, as the costs of foodand veterinary care are high.

when they do it. You need to adapt to the rhythms of theworld.”

Mr. Graham sells his fruit at a roadside stand. There isn’t alot of traffic passing by.

“My neighbors buy it,” he said. “People come from Volu-sia County. They’ll drive for organic fruit. I go out every dayand put fresh fruit out and take the money from the box. Isay ‘drive up, peel the fruit, and eat it. If you like it, putmoney in the box.’”

These days, Mr. Graham cares for his mother and raisescitrus. Another son, Jeff Thompson, director of the MerrittIsland Public Library, is making a documentary about Mr.Graham’s new life. It’s a big change from his previous exis-tence.

“Lawyers are control freaks,” he said. “I was a trial lawyerfor 34 years. Now I go with what works and don’t try to forceit. It’s a complete change in the way I live my life.

“I’m not in competition with anybody. When I retired, Ileft my computer in the office. The U.S. Mail works fine forme. I try to fit in with the environment and it’s worked outwell. I think I’ll have a long and fulfilling retirement.”

Andrew Graham’s fruit stand is located at 6625 Dixie Wayin Mims, one mile east of U.S. 1. It is always open and is onthe honor system.

MELBOURNE – Jeff Thompsonis Floridian born and bred. Anative of Melbourne, he attendedSatellite High school, the Univer-sity of Central Florida and FloridaState, where he obtained a mas-ter’s degree in library science. Hehas served as director of the Mer-ritt Island Public Library since2005.

Being a librarian is Mr. Thom-son’s career, but filmmaking is hispassion. He is completing a docu-mentary, “Florida Suite,” set toFrederick Delius’ music of thesame name.

“My father retired as an attor-ney in 1990,” he said. “He boughtan orange grove in Scottsmoor atthe northern end of the county.He built a high-tech log cabin inthe middle of the grove and he

raises citrus without pesticides. “He’s also taking care of his

mother, who has Alzheimer’s. It’sa wonderful place for her, safe andbeautiful.”

Mr. Thompson was as capti-vated by the environment as hisfather. He wanted to tell the storyin film.

“At the core, my father hasfound this amazing, balanced lifethat’s beautiful but not easy,” hesaid. “I found it comforting. Iwanted something that spoke to asoul without being too specific.

“A person can watch it and putthemselves into it. It’s somethingthat we need to see, people livinglives differently to most of us. It’spersonal and universal.”

For the soundtrack, Mr.Thompson found the perfectwork.

“I heard Delius’ ‘Florida Suite

and fell in love with it,” he said. “Afew years ago, I went to see theBrevard Symphony Orchestra andheard the music from ‘TheLouisiana Story.’ I saw how I couldmake ‘Florida Suite’ by telling astory with minimal dialogueabout nature, with beautifulmusic.”

Mr. Thompson began plan-ning his film in 2009, but workintervened and it was not untilearly 2011 that he was able tobegin filming. While the grove andhis family form the backdrop, it isnot only about those elements.

“It’s not specifically a day,” hesaid. “The film is similar to amusic video. Each movement ofDelius’ suite is played in its entire-ty and is the heart of the film,which is a challenge. It’s ametaphorical day, beginning at

dawn and ending at nightfall.”

The role of Frederick Delius inFlorida history brings out theresearch librarian in Mr. Thompson.The composer was born in Germanyin 1862.

“His father wanted him to be awool manufacturer,” Mr. Thompsonsaid. “He wanted to make music, buthis parents refused to send him toschool in Leipzig. Many of the Eng-lish were coming to Florida in thelate 1800s to get into citrus and hecame as a way of placating hisfather.”

Mr. Delius worked on an orangegrove near Jacksonville and wasintrigued by the songs the African-American workers sang.

“He fell in love with Florida,” Mr.Thompson said. “He learned com-position from a local church organ-ist. His parents were so impressedthat they sent him to Leipzig to

study music. There he composedthe ‘Florida Suite.’ It was his first sig-nificant work and is dedicated to thepeople of Florida.”

Mr. Thompson has several goalsfor his film.

“I hope it’s something people likeand that it brings the story of Deliusback,” he said. “His career is essen-tially traceable back to his experi-ence in Florida. He dedicated thepiece to the people of Florida, yet itis still largely unknown. I hope tochange that.”

Another goal is corporate spon-sorship of a new recording on “Flori-da Suite.” The timing is perfect, as2012 is the 150th anniversary ofDelius’ birth.

“I’d love to have the Space CoastSymphony Orchestra record it sothat it is a local product,” he said. “Ithink that would be wonderful.”

little clan, and more than a couple ofadditional pounds was for me one ofthe more memorable ones. Due to“certain changes” involving PowerSurges, sleepless nights and EmptyNest Syndrome I went full circle andam once again the Waker and onceagain the subject of my mental sta-bility came up in the conversation.

Beginning with daughter No. 1 andworking my way down I struck goldon my third telephone try.

My “Happy New Year!!” was metwith, “Mom! I totally understand youare having problems sleeping andyour thermostat is on the fritz, butmenopause is not supposed to makeme miserable for 10 more years! Andthen it’s supposed to be mine!”

I not so gently reminded her thatwhen she was under the influence ofmorphine following surgery, she hadcalled me 14 times in six hours com-plaining the fish in the bathroomwere making to much noise. Sipping

tea and chewing toast is almost asgood via the modern technology ofcell phones as it is in person.

I can’t think of another person forwhom the bumper sticker “Please bepatient – God’s not done with meyet” is more appropriate than me, Ihave been perpetually unfinishedfor many decades. Evolving andrevolving around those that I loveand whatever the world hands me isa full-time job for me and I’m thor-oughly enjoying every moment.Sometimes it is to the consternationof those who take life more seriouslythan I do.

This year I’m resolving to notresolve. I am replacing resolves withwishes. I wish my bathroom scalewould take a backward slide. I wishmy tongue would freeze in place atcertain times. I wish I could remem-ber to buy books on disks so I could“read” them on the way to work

But most of all I wish you raisintoast, hot tea and hearts full ofenough love to enjoy them.

Wrigley Field. Always a football fan, I once

watched a game between the HoustonOilers and Boston Patriots before eachchanged their names. In Chicago’sSoldier Field I watched the greatWalter Payton score many times andin Tampa I saw the Bucs in theirchampionship season. Once I evensaw the legendary El Cordobes fight abull in Barcelona Spain.

I am a pretty fair amateur historianand some consider me to be anauthority on beach racing. From timeto time I am called on to speakpublicly about some of my hobbies.Somehow, with all of that going on, Ifound time to run a constructionbusiness for 26 years and help Lana,my wife of nearly 38 years, raise twogreat children.

WOW! I have really been busy. As most of you have guessed, these

days my most rewarding hobby iswhat I am doing right now — writing.

Since I was in fifth grade I have beentold that I have the ability to spin apretty good tale on paper. I used thattalent to cruise through the Englishclasses while in school, so if some ofyou detect flaws in my composition itis a result of my youthful laziness. Inmy life I have emptied hundreds ofballpoints and covered reams of paperwith words that no one will ever read.That’s OK, for I do it mostly for myself.

Since I have been writing for thisnewspaper I have met many of youwho have been kind enough to tell methat you enjoy what I do. That, to me,is priceless. Hopefully, some of youhave discovered through my simplestyle just how easy it is to write andwill consider trying it for yourself.Writing is good for your psyche. It is arelease that can cleanse the mind andperhaps even the soul. Everyone has astory to tell. Maybe it is your own lifestory or maybe the accomplishmentsof your grandchildren. Your subjectneed not be interesting to the masses.Do it for yourself. I am certain many ofyou have thought about it. You may

have even said to yourself, “I bet Icould do what that Dan guy does.” Youknow what? You are right.

Take a close look at my columns.Nothing complicated, right? I try towrite as though I am talking with afriend. I work hard to keep out preten-tious words that I would not use ineveryday conversation. It seems towork. You need not have a hugevocabulary and if you do you certainlyshouldn’t hit people over the headwith it. Words that are inserted toshow off your language skills tend toremind your reader that someone iswriting at them; not talking to them.As I said before, I write for myself. I amvery fortunate to have my musingspublished, but if that ended tomorrowI would continue to write. I just likedoing it. I encourage you to findsomething you enjoy doing and do thehell out of it. Who knows you mayeven find someone who will allow youto do it professionally. Thank you,Hometown News.

Job opportunities abound for seniors

At one point in the 2008 Oscar-nominated film “Frost/Nixon,”former President Richard Nixon,played by Frank Langella, says,“Retired people are the mostbored people in the world.”While some retirees might scoffat that remark, others no doubtagree there’s an element of truthto it.

Perhaps boredom is one reasonmany seniors continue to workpast retirement age. According tothe Congressional ResearchService, 47 percent of maleseniors and 34 percent of femaleseniors were employed in 2007.That those figures were from2007 is significant, as it indicatesthis was before the economicdownturn of 2008-09, a conse-quence of which was more

seniors returning to the work-force.

For many seniors, though,working isn’t simply a means toearn money. In fact, seniors whocontinued working past the ageof 70 earned an average of just$20,000 in 2007. Seniors alsotend to work to have somethingto do. For seniors looking to dojust that, there are a host ofemployment or even volunteeropportunities that can helpseniors stay busy and possiblyput a little extra money in theirpockets.

* Local park service. Many localpark services hire seniors to helpkeep the parks clean. These areoften seasonal opportunities,making them ideal for seniorswho live in different citiesdepending on the seasons.

* Golf course. Golf courses areother seasonal businesses, atleast in much of the country,that also boast lots of part-timeopportunities for seniors. Forexample, golf courses needrangers, who ensure all golfersplay by the rules and respect thecourse, and even maintenancestaff, who do everything from cutthe grass to maintaining gardens.These can also pull double duty,providing seniors with dailyexercise to help them stay healthy.

* Volunteer. Many programs thathelp indigent citizens get by everyday welcome seniors as volun-teers. Meal delivery services andother programs that cater to thesick are often in need of a helpinghand.

* School systems. Local schooldistricts also have volunteeropportunities that can be ideal for

seniors. Positions such as crossingguard or even helping out with thelocal athletic teams don’t requiremuch of a commitment and canbe rewarding and fun for seniors.

* Consultant work. Seniors whomiss the thrill of business don’thave to give it up completelysimply because they’re retired.Many seniors earn a handsomeamount of money by working asconsultants, using their vastexperience to help the next gener-ation. What’s more, consultantsoften work on their own schedule,an ideal situation for seniors witha passion for business but anequal passion for the positives ofretirement.

* Library. Libraries might not beas popular as they once were, butmany are still going strong, andsome even use volunteers andpart-time employees to keep theiroperations running smoothly.Many libraries prefer hiringseniors thanks to their reliabilityand good attitude.

see,” Mr. Hopes said. “People don’trealize that where City Hall sits at inthe Shores is part of the old race-track and grand stand. A1A was alsopart of the old track. It all had to bemoved basically because peoplecould not make it to their homes.”

The group also runs the LivingLegends of Auto Racing Museumlocated in the Sunshine Park Mall inSouth Daytona.

The Shores Spa &Resort is theDaytona area’s premier resort andspa. It offers luxurious rooms withspectacular views of DaytonaBeach, the Atlantic Ocean andIntercoastal waterway.

“We have a 10 -story luxury resortand spa that is Daytona’s only four-diamond hotel. It is really an unex-pected luxury,” said Susan Keavb-ney, the resort’s marketing director.“Actually we have a lot of locals wholive in Port Orange, Daytona andOrmond come take advantage of

our Indulge Spa and Azure finedining restaurant.”

The resort contains warm hues,Italian marble restrooms, pillowtopbeds and chic furnishes. Rates startat $109 per night.

“It’s really a cool and fun undis-covered hang out space,” Ms.Keavbney said. “It is refreshing andquiet and at this time of year we arenot as busy, so locals can really takeadvantage.”

Just south of the Shores, in PonceInlet, is one of the state’s mostrecognizable attraction — ThePonce de Leon Inlet Light Station,located at 4391 Peninsula Drive. Itstands 175 feet and is the tallestlighthouse in Florida. It is also thesecond tallest masonry lighthousein the nation.

The 203-step structure attracts175,000 visitors a year. Admission is$5 per adult and $1.50 per childunder 11. It opens every day at 10a.m. Closing times vary per time ofyear.

Today the structure consists of thetower and a museum with memora-

bilia and historic facts on thelighthouse and the surroundingcommunity.

The lighthouse was constructed in1883 and opened in 1887 as theMosquito Inlet Lighthouse, whichwas the name for the surroundingarea. The lighthouse name changedin 1927 when Mosquito Inlet wasrenamed Ponce Inlet.

Kerosene lit the structure up until1920 when a generator was installedmaking the transition to electricity.

In 1998 the structure became aNational Historic Landmark. ThePonce Inlet Lighthouse Preserva-tion Association maintains andruns the structure.

“Those who visit will see on of thelargest collections of lighthouseoptics in the world,” director ofoperations Mike Bennett said. “TheLighthouse also gives visitors asense and feel of what life was likeat the turn of the century for Flori-da’s coastal residents.”

Though it’s common to ring inthe New Year by making resolu-tions for the year, it’s far lesspopular to set goals for the next12 months. Resolutions and goalsmight be similar, but they’re notexactly the same.

When setting goals, men andwomen are attempting to developa plan for the year ahead with theintent of being in a better place in365 days. Successful resolutionsare typically far less encompass-ing. While resolutions are goal-oriented, men and women oftenmake just one resolution thatdoes not require a plan so muchas some dedication. For instance,a goal of being more financiallysecure will require a plan thatmust be implemented for it to bea success. A resolution to quit

smoking might involve someadvice from health professionals,but in general it’s up to the indi-vidual to simply stop smoking.

When setting goals for the next12 months, consider the followingtips.

• Brainstorm some ideas. Goalsshould pertain to all aspects oflife, from career goals to personalgoals to anything you want toaccomplish around the house.Before setting any goals, brain-storm as many ideas as possiblefor each area of your life. Writethese ideas down, no matter howbig or small they might be — eventhough you might not decide topursue each and every goal youcome up with. The purpose of thisis just to get some ideas flowingand to use those ideas as a foun-dation.

If two or more ideas are similar,such as losing weight and eating

healthier, then you can combinethose later on and make them onegoal to simply be healthier a yearfrom now.

• Rank goals by their importanceto you. Goals will have varyingdegrees of importance, and thiscan help you to rank them bywhich ones you feel are mostimportant. This doesn’t mean youcan’t accomplish each goal onyour list. But prioritizing goalscan make it easier to accomplishthem.

A good approach to take is toaccomplish a high-priority goal,then reward yourself by tackling amore lighthearted goal that’s lessof a priority. For instance, if oneof your biggest priorities is toinstall new siding on the houseand you accomplish this goal,then reward yourself by nextworking on one of your more fun-

oriented goals, such as visiting awater park or attending a ball-game. Such a balance and rewardsystem can provide motivationand make for a fun and produc-tive year to boot.

• Establish a time frame. Whensetting goals with no time framein mind, it’s easy to procrastinateand downplay the significance ofthe goals. When setting goals,establish a time frame to increaseyour chances of being successful.For instance, if you have a goal tosave X amount of money over thenext 12 months, give yourselfmonthly savings markers to meet.This can help keep you on sched-ule and ensure you will achieveyour goal come the end of theyear.

•Give yourself progress reports.As the year goes on, periodicallyassess your progress. You mightrealize some goals have becomebigger priorities while others areno longer as important, and that’sperfectly alright. But once youhave passed the planning stageand started to pursue a goal, trackyour progress and stay the courseif it’s going well. If not, reconsideryour plan and decide if it’s best tolay out another course of action.

Setting goals for the year aheadis a great way to ensure the next12 months will be productive andfruitful.
