Hundreds of Harley-Davidson ownersand riders from throughout the UnitedStates recently visited Brevard County tojoin the annual High Seas rally cruisefrom Port Canaveral.
This year marks 110 years of Harley-Davidson and 30 years of Harley OwnersGroups. The four founders: WilliamHarley, William Davidson, arthurDavidson and Walter Davidson turned abackyard shop with 18 employees intothe Harley-Davidson Motor Company inMilwaukee, Wis., where the corporateoffices still are maintained.
Devotees of the vehicle transcend allgender and age groups, professions andethnicities. The company is credited withmajor contributions to america’s warefforts during both World War I and II.
The Harley-Davidson Foundation andthe Disabled american Veterans (DaV)came together in 2007 to help veterans.Harley’s Heroes brings DaVs mobileservice offices to Harley-Davidsondealerships and other locations across theUnited States, providing counseling andassistance to veterans and their familiesand access to the full range of benefitsavailable for them.
locally, at Space Coast Harley-Davidson in Palm Bay, enthusiasticclients and visitors—many older than50 – can inspect the newest technology inbikes and accessories or enjoy vintageequipment available for purchase.
“approximately 30 percent of ourbusiness is with seniors, in particularmilitary and disabled. Vietnam veteransare a large part of the H-D culture. The
popularity of the bike transcends entirefamilies,” said Jamie lima, the SCHDsales manager.
Mickey Goshen, customer servicemanager and member coordinator for thelocal H.O.G group #2860, is a 40-plusyear Harley owner/rider. He discussed theprice range for becoming a Harley owner.
“The standard models range from$8,000 to $38,500. By standard, I meanthat we also carry the Harley’s CustomVehicle Operations (CVO) line, whichare special in many ways. In 2010, H-Dintroduced the TriGlide (trike) which hasbecome the fastest growing vehicle.”

New Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey, in aninterview with Senior Life, pledged to focus his effortson crimes against boomers and seniors and putting theperpetrators behind bars. He was sworn in on Jan. 7.
Formerly head of the Florida Department of LawEnforcement, Ivey used to write a column for SeniorLife, often focusing on safety issues for seniors. Heresumes his column today on page 30.
“One of the first things we talked about in mycandidacy is that seniors are all too often the victims ofcrime. They can have their entire bank accounts emptiedout, and then what are they supposed to do for the rest oftheir lives?” Ivey said.
“One of our crime-prevention tactics is going to focuson elder crime with more community education, but alsowe are going to pursue strengthening prosecution,because only one in 700 criminals go to jail for this rightnow.”
This focus in mind, he pledged to work with newState Attorney Phil Archer to build an economic-crimestask force targeting fraud and identity theft.
While these crimes are nondiscriminatory, it is themost tragic when seniors are targeted, according to Ivey,because they don’t have the time to work to rebuild theirsavings, and may already be frail or medically at risk.
The task force will also look at ways to informresidents immediately about topics like particularneighborhoods being targeted by burglars so that arearesidents can take precautions.
Ivey said he will also focus on boomers and theirfamilies. Many boomers may care for both children andaging parents.
“Nothing’s ever been more humbling in my lifethan that day, to have all these folks celebrating withus at the swearing in ceremony,” Ivey said. “I was sofortunate to have my whole family there, including allfour of my children. My wife sacrificed so muchduring the campaign. I can tell you I know firsthand
how important families are to each and every residentof Brevard County.”SL

Becoming an Old Bastards is simple, cheapBYMARIA SONNENBERG
The recipe for being an Old Bastard issimple, yet extremely appetizing. Startwith an ample amount of camaraderie,toss in liberal servings of political incor-rectness and add a soupcon of disregardfor all formalities. That, and a $10 life-time fee, will get you a membership cardinto the International Order of Old Bas-tards, or I.O.O.B., a group that, despiteits less-than-genteel moniker, has a longand proud history.Almost 5,000 I.O.O.B. chapters and
1.5 million members around the worldkeep alive the flame ignited by the firstOld Bastard, American Armyofficer Fred Kibbe. Stationed “downunder” during WWII, Kibbe noticedthat Aussies fondly called friends “oldbastards” when raising a pint or two.After the war, Kibbe enlarged the ringof friends into a semblance of anorganization.The International Order of Old
Bastards was born. Kibbe passed away in1960. He is gone but not forgotten asI.O.O.B. members worldwide carry onhis spirit of loosey-goosey bonhomie.Robert Olson became an Old
Bastard ten years ago in the mannermost members learn about the group,through word of mouth.“An acquaintance told me to come
over and meet with the Old Bastards,”said Olson.Another friend introduced Mike
Shaffer to the group.“It’s a very easy-going, compatible
group,” said Shaffer, a formerWWIIPOW and retired professor.The organization rarely seeks the
limelight, since the name that makesthem attractive to some, rankles others,including the United StatesPostal Service.For those who want to
join, the procedure is easy.“You pay your $10 life-
time fee and you neverhave to pay anythingelse,” said Olson.The I.O.O.B. member-
ship card is one of Olson’sproudest possessions.“When I show the card toanyone, it makes themlaugh,” said the TortoiseIsland resident.Laughter is important
in the life of an Old Bastard.“Jokes are a big part,” said Olson.
“You spend a lot of time laughing, whichI think the world needs more of.”At the PatrickAir Force Base chapter
for the club, Olson and his fellowmem-bers meet weekly for lunch to shoot thebreeze, talk politics and tell jokes. Likemany I.O.O.B. chapters, the Patrickgroup is decidedly chauvinistic and amale bastion.However, at the nearby Palm Bay
Beer Can Colonels’Chapter 4683, theladies not only are welcomed, they, too,can join and become card-carrying OldBastarettes.At the Palm Bay chapter,District DeputyArchbastard LloydHutchinson is boss, often finingmembers a dollar for telling bad jokes.
“I can do anything Iwant,” joked Hutchin-son. “We have lots offun.”While jokes are a
given, structure is not.There is no website andfew rules. Chaptersmeet according to con-sensus and do not haveto report to Old Bas-tards’ world headquar-ters in Sebring.The Patrick chapter
gets together every
week, but the Palm Bay Old Bastardsprefer to meet the last Sunday ofthe month.“We keep bookwork to a minimum,”
said Bill Hinkel, Archbastard for thePatrick group.Some groups do charitable projects,
while others prefer to sit back andenjoy life. Although many of themembers are retired military, OldBastards can hail from any profession,from grocery store owners to chemists.You can never be too old to be anOld Bastard, either. According toheadquarters’ data, the youngest OldBastard was a baby issued a member-ship card on the day of his birth.The whole idea is not to take
yourself—or life—too seriously.“It’s all about laughter, getting
together and having a good time,”said Olson.To join a chapter, contact the Patrick
Chapter at 321-779-3336 or thePalm Bay Chapter at 321-724-8375. SL

Uncle Sam is looking for a few goodwomen; the more the better, actually.
Women In Defense, A National Security Organization (WID), an affiliateof the National Defense Industrial Association, formed its Space CoastChapter Jan. 15.
The mission is to cultivate and sup-port the advancement and recognition ofwomen in all aspects of national security,and provide women with a formal envi-ronment for professional growth throughnetworking, education and career devel-opment.
District 8 U.S. Congressman BillPosey will be the keynote speaker at thenext meeting, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday,Feb. 19 at the Courtyard By Marriott inCocoa Beach. The local chapter named apresident and members to the leadershipboard at the inaugural meeting.
“The Florida Space Coast is a uniquearea with several rapidly expanding national defense industries and a veryprevalent military presence,” said newWID chapter president, Karen Gregory,of HRSS Consulting Group & USAFR.
“By forming a Space Coast chapter, itwill provide networking and professionaldevelopment opportunities to promotethe role of women in national defenseand security, to support military servicemembers, and to encourage partnershipswithin the local contractor community,defense industry and military personnel,”Gregory added.
The move is critical to the new post-Space Shuttle economy, locally, according to Pam Gillespie, communityrelations director for Rep. Posey.
“Our future in the local space and
defense industry is for new businesses toform and provide services as contrac-tors,” said Gillespie, who will serve onthe WID board of directors. While WIDwill focus on the defense and security industry, Rep. Posey also is working tospur the development of space commerce overall.
“We need the brightest of the bright tobring new products and services to thetable, to win contracts from governmentagencies for space and defense,” Poseysaid. “We are going to see commercial
applications for space as never before,and that means we need people withgreat ideas and the ability to create teamsto efficiently bring those ideas tofruition.”
Currently, the Orlando-based CentralFlorida Chapter is the only chapter inthe state, with more than 240 activemembers. The membership is com-prised of a diverse demographic ofwomen and men from a cross-sectionof national security professions in industry, government, military and
academia, according to Gregory. The Space Coast chapter will allow
easier access for members who want toparticipate in the monthly networkingevents. The five-person team that successfully led the charge on this effort,in addition to Gregory and Gillespie, includes Joanne Longo, Barry University; Mary Kinberg, Kinberg &Associates; and Elizabeth May, AhtnaSTS. The team worked with theguidance of the Central Florida Chapterpresident, Terri Smith, and past president, Debbie Berry.
The cost to attend monthly meetingsis $20 for members and $25 for non-members. Food is included, with a cashbar available. For more informationabout WID on the Space Coast, contactKaren Gregory [email protected] or go towid.ndia.org.

“Being accepted into the unit hasbeen a great honor,” he said, “The pipesare an extension of being a member ofThe Black Watch, of being a soldier. Icherish what I am doing with the tour.”
In 2009, Halliday was injured in ablast from an improvised explosive de-vice, unable to see or hear.
“I was fixed up and rehabilitated. Iam fully a soldier, now. The pipes anddrums play a special role in my militarycareer,” he said. “Members of The BlackWatch are soldiers foremost. We are professional soldiers and play music tothe pro level. The pipers and drummershave just come back from combat. Performing is the string on the infantry-man’s bow.”
Halliday said his battalion still takesbagpipes and drums to the battlefield, asScottish soldiers have done for generations.
“Traditions are important.”He said audiences are amazed at the
youthfulness of his men, especiallywhen they realize how disciplined theyare.
“The Black Watch in the U.K. are currently training and we will go on operational standby readiness. When wego back, we will catch up and slide intothe bigger unit.”
Brevard residents will have the op-portunity to see these soldier musiciansat the King Center perform traditional Highland music, national anthems, Ode to Joy, Amazing Graceand jazz as never before.
“In battle, emotions run high. Halli-day said, The pipes and drums strikefear in enemies and motivate the troops.At the performance, the public willleave on an emotional high. The BlackWatch lives long in the memory.”

Snowbird seasonis that six-month period from Octoberto March wherepeople and birds flysouth to escape thesnow. The birds doit on instinct. The people do it so theydon’t have to shovel their way out ofthe driveway. Either way, it’s a goodidea.
They both tend to leave their markin Florida. The people spend lots ofmoney and enrich towns they land in.The birds leave their mark, too, usuallyon the windows and paint of cars.
When the people leave, we’re sad tosee them go. When the birds leave,we’re happy to see them go becausewe know we can safely wash our carsand once again walk the nature trailswithout fear of getting strafed like aWorld War II bomber.
Yesterday, while walking the newbridge in Titusville, I looked up to seethousands of birds flying in wild circu-
lar patterns. It kind of looked like thestudents at the University of CentralFlorida the first week of a new term.You know it almost never snows inCentral Florida and, when it does, thesnow doesn’t stick. But what thosewild birds dropped did stick and theamount of white spots covering thebridge were reminiscent of the drop-pings of the first winter storm inCleveland each year. I found theslalom pattern I had to walk to avoidthem doubled the benefit of my work-out, especially when I passed a friendwho said “hello,” oops. I had to washthose shoes when I got home.
We’re rapidly approaching the endof snowbird season, and I’ll be so de-pressed to see many friends flyingback north and the towns once againstruggling with their profit margins. But as long as they take theother snowbirds with them, I’ll be OK.
They won’t need GPS to find theirway back to the big cities up north. Allthey have to do is follow the spots!

Care giving is part ofliving a long life. Helpful,caring and kind peopletend to live a longer life ina spiritual and physicalway. Each person faces thecaregiver challenge in adifferent way.
Few people areprepared to provide helpand assistance to an olderspouse, relative or friend unless theyhave specific training in the field ofassisted living or nursing services.
Out of love, a feeling of devotion orrecognized duty, men and women pushforward to give daily care to their lovedones.
For example, there are more than 50million Americans caring for someonewith memory loss (early onset dementiato extreme cases of Alzheimer disease)compounded by other ailments andafflictions. Care for others with sicknessor injuries becomes part of the late-in-life scenario.
The challenge for the caregiver asthey advance in years is to protect theirown health and happiness while caringfor their loved ones. Each day is a newand separate challenge. Those who dowell and survive know how to havebalance in their lives.
Leeza Gibbons collaborated with apsychologist and a medical doctor,Rosemary Laird, to write a caregiverhandbook entitled “Take Your OxygenFirst.” The book is a love letter andlifeline to all of those caregivers whohave ever felt lost and afraid. Achallenge calls for action in a positivemanner.
The book focuses on the adage“Knowledge is Power.” Each chapter
provides supportiveinformation thathelps the readerunderstand his orher situation androle to gain a goodunderstanding ofmemory-lossdisorders.
Caregiversshould not do it
alone. The book helps caregivers findprofessional, community and agencyresources.
Caregivers must focus on their ownwell being by taking care of themselves.
A section on caring for thecaregiver’s body deals with exercise,diet, sleep, wellness and personalgrowth. Energy for caring comes frompersonal energy rather than fatigue.
Set the example with joy andhappiness.
“Coping with Depression andAnxiety” is a helpful chapter with afocus on management of thesechallenges. Going further, the bookcovers overcoming denial and guiltalong with managing anger.
“Nourishing the Caregiver’s Spirit”covers the family and intergenerationalconnectivity.
Spiritual practice, the meaning oflife, the purpose of life and the payoffof being involved but not beingoverwhelmed is a fitting wrap-up to theeasy-read handbook.

I don’t know how Iever got into the habit— a good one accord-ing to some people, anannoying one accord-ing to others – butwhen I read anything,errors jump out at me!I was never taught“proofreading,” but I’ve been an avidreader since I was a little girl. Mymother taught me to read and writebefore I even entered Kindergartenand one thing led to another, in partic-ular writing carefully to spell wordscorrectly, whether it was schoolwork Iwas doing or writing stories.
In adult life working years, beforemarriage and children and again afterchildren grown, so many people usedto ask me to “check this for me,”meaning checking what was writtenfor errors. In later years, it got to thepoint where I was hired, usually volunteer, but occasionally paid, toproofread papers for school work, letters written by bosses at work whoweren’t confident of their own abilityto spell or choose the correct words. Iproofed organizational bulletins.
Over my many years of adult read-ing especially, I have caught errors inbooks, newspapers and other publica-tions. Sometimes it’s in time to getthem corrected, but certainly not inbooks published back in the 1920s!Yes, in reading the books in my col-
lection of MarkTwain’s writings, Ifound misspelledwords and occasion-ally other errors. Justrecently a local publi-cation had an articlewritten about the“Veterans Holidday”.
No, that is not a misprint — thenewspaper really spelled the word“Holidday.” Some errors have beenvery funny indeed and some newspa-pers care more than others. My experi-ence with our local daily newspaper isthat they rarely print corrections, evenwhen corrections are sent in by read-ers. On the other hand, the daily paperI now get out of Orlando is very goodabout making corrections on differentthings, mistaken facts, misspellings ofnames, etc. As you read my columnnow, I will add that Senior Life is verywell proofed in my opinion and Irarely find an error. It’s never that I’mlooking for them.
That’s what always puzzles me. Iwas not trained in any way to proof-read but as I’m reading along, errorsin spelling just jump out at me asthough they were in BIG BOLDPRINT! It’s both an annoying and satisfactory “talent” I seem to havehad for many years.
Comments are always welcome, [email protected]. SL

Let me introduce youto an educational daytrip just north of Brevard County that willbe of major interest forthe entire family. Recently, I escorted agroup of friends on atour of “Seminole Rest,”part of the CanaveralNational Seashore, in nearby Oak Hill.
Here is one of the few remaining ancient sites of our Native Americanswho gathered clams, oysters and fishfrom the Mosquito River Lagoon. TheIndians consumed the edible parts andused the site for refuse, which thenover many centuries created extremelylarge shell mounds. At Seminole Restthere are several mounds, with thelargest being Snyder’s Mound. Thisparticular shell mound is over 700 feetlong, 350 feet wide and over 14 feethigh. All the shell mounds at this sitedate back from 2,000 B.C. to 1565A.D. There are not many shell moundsleft. Early in the 20th century, localcommunities used the shell as fill forthe paving of roads. The archeologicalsignificance of the Seminole Restmounds is the fact that they have survived relatively intact when 70 percent of the mounds in Volusia County have been destroyed.
The National Park Service now pre-serves this site and the few remainingmound sites along the eastern seaboard.
There are a num-ber of structures onthis site. They includethe historic In-StoneHouse, the historiccaretakers house, anon-historic garageand pilings from aboat dock.
Seminole Rest isopen seven days week from 6 a.m. to 8p.m. There is an accommodatingwheelchair-accessible paved trail withmany outdoor exhibits.
The trail straddles the west shore ofthe beautiful Mosquito River Lagoon.The site has free parking and rest roomfacilities.
There is no charge to visit SeminoleRest. The main house has a gift shopand a bookstore and is open from noonto 4 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday.Verify the openings by calling 386-345-1997.
Our group also had a delightfullunch at the Goodrich Seafood Restaurant. located just north of Seminole Rest at 253 River Road, OakHill. Call 386-345–3397.
Getting to Seminole Rest is easy. We took U.S. 1 North, crossing theBrevard County line, to the town ofOak Hill, a delightful ride. At the traffic light in Oak Hill at Halifax Avenue, go east. In a few blocks youwill be at River Road, Seminole Restwill be on your right. SL

This column will bemore parochial than usual.I have the privilege ofserving as general managerof Suntree MasterHomeowners Association,Inc. Recently, I learnedthat many Suntree and arearesidents are not aware ofthe varied demographics andamenities. This column will tell youabout them.
Suntree is the largest Planned UnitDevelopment (PUD) on the SpaceCoast, consisting of 4,506 dwellings.In addition, there are 29 commercialproperties paying annual fees. Thepopulation is estimated at more than11,000. While Suntree is home tomany seniors, we also includenumerous families. Elementary schoolage children residing south ofWickham attend Suntree ElementarySchool and those north of Wickhamare Quest Elementary School students.
There are 66 miles of roads inSuntree, most of which are maintainedby Brevard County. We also have 11miles of pedways, some of which areshared with Suntree Country Club. St.Johns River Waterway ManagementDistrict requires that Suntree maintain350 acres of wetlands, retentionponds, and stormwater drainagecanals. These consist of five majordrainage basins controlled by ninefunctioning weirs.
Nine board members who areelected for two-year terms governSuntree. Our next election will be
March 13 atSuntree CountryClub. The volumeof the election isso large that theBrevard ElectionCommissionprovides votingmachines and
tabulations. Each board member eitherchairs or is involved in at least onestanding committee. There are 13employees of the association.
We have two large parks withshaded playground equipment. TheSpyglass Hill pavilion is available forresident reservations at no charge.Nine “pocket parks” are scatteredthroughout the community with picnicbenches in serene atmospheres.Suntree provides a diverse assortmentof community events. These haveincluded symphonies and movies inthe park and an annual Easter egghunt.
This is just a “thumbnail sketch” ofSuntree. For more detailedinformation, visit our interactivewebsite at SuntreeFlorida.com.

It was during aluncheon at Joe’sClub in Titusvillethat I met JessieRobinson. Hervibrant personalityresonated withseveral other womenwho were singing gospel songs to thegroup that day. The Senior GospelSingers provide uplifting music weekly torehab centers, nursing homes and adultday care facilities.
I learned that Robinson also works forAging Matters in Brevard with theSeniors at Lunch program five days aweek. Robinson is the center manager atCuyler Park Annex in Mims, where a hotlunch is enjoyed daily by a group ofabout 30 seniors who gather to eat, watchtelevision, play bingo or listen to aninformative guest speaker.
“Our Seniors at Lunch program ismore than a meal,” Robinson said. “Ourfolks talk and get to know one another.We see many of the same people everyday. They become friends.”
Bill Rowland, Lee Smith and MarySnelling all agree the lunches are tastyand nourishing and that the camaraderieis a huge part of the day.
“I was astonished at what they do,”Smith said.
“People don’t come for just thefood. It’s the conversation. Welook forward to getting up andgetting out,” Snelling said.
Robinson said meals for thoseolder than 60 cost $1. “If someonecan afford to give more, it iswelcome.”
Between 1,600 and 2,000 meals a dayare prepared at the Brevard CommunityKitchen in Cocoa and delivered torecipients of Meals on Wheels, Seniors atLunch and adult day care facilities suchas Joe’s Clubs.
Aging Matters in Brevard is funded byvarious organizations, including theOlder Americans Act, Brevard CountyBoard of County Commissioners andblock grants, said Cindy Flachmeier,president and CEO of Aging Matters.
“Parks and recreations around thecounty are a great support to thisprogram. There are 14 sites around thecounty to which we deliver daily,” shesaid. “Our staff is dedicated. They workhard and get the job done. They beginwith food prep at 6 a.m. and deliverybegins about 10:30 a.m.”

Kathleen Rich-New has turned herpast pain into profit for anyone who hasever wanted to start a business. Theboomer’s book, “Plan B: The Real DealGuide to Creating Your Business,” waspublished last month to rave reviews andbrisk sales.
Many fellow boomers as well as sen-iors are the reason Rich-New wrote thebook, because of the recent changes inthe local post-Space Shuttle job market,the challenged national economy and thelocal and national emphasis on creatingnew small businesses.
“Plan B. It’s the career after you havebeen laid off, outsourced, down-sized,right-sized or fired,” said Rich-New, anadjunct professor of human resources atWebster University. In addition to herrole at Webster, Rich-New is a powerfulcommunity leader, business expert, in-demand speaker and business coach. Sheholds a master’s degree in business andowns her own business-consulting firm,Clarity Works! She started her own busi-ness after suffering burnout from a suc-cessful Silicon Valley career and itsdemanding 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. routine.
Her Jan. 11 book-signing audience of150 included many members of theSpaceCoast Technical Network, made upof former space workers looking to eitherfind a new job or start the businessesthey always dreamed of but were tooafraid to leave their day jobs – until theirday jobs left them in the wake of theShuttle program shut down.
“Times are tough and Plan-A jobs arehard to find, or if you find one it’s at afraction of what you are making andthere are no benefits. Secure jobs andpensions are being destroyed,” Rich-New said.
While conducting research, Rich-Newdeveloped a one-credit-hour professionalseminar for Webster called, “What isYour Plan B?”
“Most of the students who took theseminar were shocked by what theylearned,” Rich-New said. “They weren’taware of the time and work it would taketo start their own business and be suc-cessful, the money needed, and the factthat some of their ideas just didn’t have alarge enough consumer base to be prof-itable.”
Humorous chapter titles start with “IWorked Hard, I Played by the Rules, andThis is all I Get?” and cover topics likestarting a business versus buying one, theins-and-outs of network marketing, theright time for the right product or service,and the necessary skills and training tobecome an entrepreneur.
“Young workers may never know jobor career security,” Rich-New said. “Fu-ture success will depend on being entre-

“Queen of Thrift: Snapshots of a Military wife” Author: John whalen Published by inspiring voicesiSBN: 978-1-4624-0045-4Copyright 2012 Purchase: Barnes & Noble $13.95e-book $3.51
About the Author:John whalen is a decorated veteran
retired from the army with the rank oflieutenant colonel. He also retired from asecond occupation. He was servicesdirector for Presbyterian Homes ofCrestwood Manor in New Jersey. Heand his wife, Betty, have been married56 years and have three children, 10grandchildren and six greatgrandchildren.
He and his wife settled inSuntree/viera.
This book depicts a woman ofcharacter, grit and determination. Thosetraits were instilled at a very early age.She grew up in a household where thefather wanted boys and ended up withtwo girls. Betty and her sister, Carol,went with their father and participated inthe recreational activities that boys do,shooting pool and fishing. Growing upin the post-Depression era, she wasaccustomed to watching her pennies andmaking them stretch.
Learning these frugal traits at an earlyage would serve her well later in her life.
Life in the military is ever changingfor the soldier. A military wife has to beone who is very flexible and willing to
switchdirection ona moment’snotice. it allbegan soonafter Bettyand Johnweremarried.Johnexpected tobetransferredto Germanyand Betty
was going with him. They wouldconsider it their honeymoon and visitParis, Rome and London.
Before the deployment, Betty foundout she was pregnant. They couldn’thave been happier.
The Army had different plans forJohn. He was deployed to Taiwaninstead and he had to tell Betty that shecould not go with him. She wasdevastated.
This scenario is just one of manytimes Betty had to dodge the curve ballspitched by the military. The bookchronicles Betty’s life through eachrelocation. Her moniker “Queen ofThrift” was well earned. Her goal wasnot to pay full price for anything.
Personal opinion:“Queen of Thrift” is a tribute to all
military wives. These ladies must havesterling character and an ironcladconstitution. i loved Betty’s tips onthrifty shopping. it’s a good read. SL

Retired Navy Capt. GilesNorrington has a unique vantage pointregarding the military. Also a Marine,the jet attack pilot not only served along and distinguished career, but afterretirement, he became a Navy spouse.
His wife, Navy Chaplain EileenO’Hickey, was the first womanchaplain in Navy history to rise to therank of captain.
Giles retired in June 1988 aftermore than 34 years of service. Thenext month, he was back in actionwith a second career as Eileen’shusband.
“It was just as interesting, but a bitdifferent,” he said.
Eileen, the fifth woman to becomea chaplain in the United States Navy,had first met Giles during a previoustour of duty, but it wasn’t until thecouple reacquainted at Diego Garcia,the little dab of earth in the middle ofthe Indian Ocean, that romanceblossomed. The starting point was, ofall things, cats.
“We had a common interest, andthat was cats,” Giles said.
Giles, from Elyria, Ohio, enlistedas a Marine 59 years ago this January.Selected for officer training,Norrington received his wings in1960. For several years, he was aflight instructor in Texas, beforeanother lady, this one made of steel,stole his heart.
“I fell in love with aircraft carriers,so I transferred to the Navy in 1965,and was assigned to Sanford NavalAir Station,” said Norrington, who tothis day has a deep appreciation forboth the Marines and the Navy.
Being a Navy pilot in the late ’60smeant intense action in the VietnamWar, and Norrington found himself onthe aircraft carrier Enterprise, flyingthe RA-5C Vigilantes, at the time oneof the largest and most complexaircraft to operate from an aircraftcarrier. He was piloting a Vigilantewhen the Viet Cong shot him downover the Tonkin Gulf.
“We got unlucky and they blewaway the right wing,” Norrington said.
“We had 16,000 pounds of fuelaboard.”
Norrington and navigator RichardDick both ejected, although bothsustained serious burns. A U.S.helicopter was on its way to rescuethem when they were captured by theViet Cong.
“We were walked from village tovillage,” Norrington said.
“We did not land close enough tomake a combined attempt to escape,but we were reunited on the third day.Then we were trucked to the southernpart of North Vietnam before we
finally made it to Hanoi. I had hopedfor food, clothing and medicaltreatment, but none of that happened.We were both taken intointerrogation.”
Dumped into a 10-foot by 12-footcell, the two men needed help,desperately.
“In one of the few humane gesturesof the Viet Cong, we were assigned aroommate who effectively became acaretaker,” Norrington said.
Air Force Capt. Wes Rumblewashed and fed them as the two mentried to get over their injuries. Themen were eventually transferred to the“Hanoi Hilton,” the infamous oldFrench prison that was to be theirhome for four-plus years.
“It was a very serious prison,”Norrington said.
With 46 men in one cell,Norrington would pass the long daysby taking—and teaching—classes.
“We had classes in math,languages, you name it,” saidNorrington.
Perhaps the most incredibleincongruity was the fact thatNorrington taught an etiquette classwhile living in the prison squalor.

By Sheriff Wayne ivey
First of all, I would like to person-ally thank everyone for the tremendousshow of support during my first fewweeks as Brevard County’s new sheriff.As we worked to develop our agency’snew organizational structure, one areathat we were committed to addressingwas fraud-related crime. Crimes likethese include identity theft, credit cardfraud and scams that target our citizensevery day, ranking Brevard County105th in the nation forthe most fraud-relatedcrimes.
While fraud can tar-get anyone, our seniorsmost often become thevictims of these types ofcrimes. In fact, perpetra-tors of fraud-relatedcrimes not only targetour seniors, but theysteal their identities,bank accounts and lifesavings, making it virtu-ally impossible for thesevictims to replace theirresources because theymay be at or beyond theend of their income-earning years.
It is estimated thatonly one in every 700perpetrators of fraud ac-tually serves time forthe crime he or she com-mits. That is unaccept-able to me. It is astatistic our team is fo-cused on changing dra-
matically.In order to combat the increased vol-
ume of fraud-related crimes, we musttake a multi-pronged approach that in-cludes departments like Crime Preven-tion, Investigation and VictimAdvocacy.
Our agency’s new Crime Preventionmodel is designed to reach every resi-dent. By educating our citizens withvital crime-prevention information, wegive them an excellent tool to help usprotect them.
The second aspect of our approachincludes working with our local part-ners and our new state attorney, PhilArcher, to create a multi-agency taskforce that is committed to the investiga-tion of fraud-related crimes.
Through a task force concept we canfocus on the large-scale organizationsthat target thousands of citizens eachyear.
The last aspect of our multi-prongedapproach is to work closely with vic-tims to make sure that we are assisting
them in recovering their good nameand assets. I believe that we must beboth pro-active and re-active in our ap-proach to combating fraud-relatedcrimes: pro-active in trying to preventthe crime from ever occurring, and re-active in recognizing it immediately ifwe do become a victim.
As Brevard County’s sheriff, I amcommitted to protecting our citizens ofall ages by targeting those criminalswho target us. Enough is enough. SL

Dear Lynne:
I frequently see a commercial on TVthat recommends getting the shinglesvaccine. I plan to discuss this option withmy doctor, but will Medicare pay for theshot? I’ve heard from friends that the shot is very expensive.
Cost Conscious
Dear Cost Conscious:If you have a Medicare Part D or prescription drug plan, it must cover your shingles
vaccine! The only vaccines not covered under Part D are those that prevent the flu,pneumonia and hepatitis B. Each of those vaccines is covered under Medicare Part B.
Your Part D plan will cover not only the cost of the vaccine but also for your doctoror other health care provider to administer the shot. Check your coverage rules todetermine where you can get the shot covered at the lowest cost to you.
Your local pharmacy may be a convenient and cost-effective place to receive thevaccine, if that pharmacy is in your plan’s network or is considered an in-networkpharmacy. You might also receive the vaccine from your primary care physician if his orher office can bill directly for the vaccine. If you receive the shot from either an in-network pharmacy or your doctor’s office which will bill your Part D plan, your onlycost for both the vaccine and its administration is your drug plan’s approved co-pay.
If you choose to receive your shot elsewhere, you may need to pay more for it,including the entire cost of the vaccine and its administration up front. You would thensubmit the bill to your Part D plan for reimbursement. Your refund would be the plan’sapproved amount, and you would be responsible for the difference.
The same holds true if you are eligible for the Low-Income Subsidy or Extra Helpthat helps to pay for your prescription drugs. Using a network pharmacy or a doctorwho can bill your drug plan is the least expensive as your payment responsibility is yourExtra Help co-pay.
SHINE is an award-winning, statewide volunteer-based program that provides free,unbiased counseling and information for people on Medicare, their families, andcaregivers. SHINE is a program of the Florida Department of Elder Affairs and isadministered in partnership with the state’s 11 Area Agencies on Aging. In Brevard, ourArea Agency on Aging is the Senior Resource Alliance located in Orlando.
To contact a SHINE counselor for unbiased assistance with your search for the bestplan, call the Elder Helpline toll-free at 1-800-963-5337. Brevard County SHINEpresently has nine offices located throughout the county but may be able to assist youover the phone.
