For Jackie Colon, Sept. 11, 2001means more than the loss of nearly 3,000fellow Americans at the hands of al-Qaeda terrorists. It meant the loss ofmany of her former workmates and closefriends, and it almost meant her life.

the then-Brevard CountyCommissioner was in New York for areunion of her former co-workers at theWorld trade Center, but she had to returnon Sept. 10 to prepare for a commissionmeeting.

“I really don’t think, ‘What if it wereme?’ What the families of my friends aregoing through is so painful, it’s not aboutme,” Colon said.

the losses continue to mount, asfriends continue to suffer and perish fromphysical and mental issues relating to theexplosion and collapse of the buildings,which sparked chronic health issues forsurvivors and members of the clean-upcrew.

Colon once again travels a well-wornpath to New York City and toWashington, D.C., as the Florida directorfor the National Association of Latinoelected and Appointedofficials educationalFund, and as presidentand Ceo of JCConsulting LLC. onthose trips, every day is 9/11.

“You can’t help butthink about it―a lot—passing those familiarlandmarks,” Colon saidof the former Worldtrade towers thePentagon, and aPennsylvania field thatmight have beensubstituted for an assaulton either the Whitehouse or the CapitalBuilding.

While the memory ispainful, Colon pushesherself to help organizeand attend the annualmemorials in Brevardout of respect for herfriends, for the country,for the many firstresponders who also losttheir lives that day, forthe active and reservemilitary men andwomen who have lost

their lives since in response to 9/11, andfor the sacrifices their families have made.

“It’s our duty to go there and take partno matter how we may feel,” she said.

retired NYC police force memberPatrick moynihan has seen the trauma inthe faces of his fellow officers who wereforever changed from that day forward.

“Let us never forget those who died,those who suffered, and those whocontinue to suffer as a result of that day oftreachery,” said moynihan, eventchairman and past president of the 10-13Club of Brevard. the association ofretired NYC police and active and retiredmembers of all police departments is sonamed because of the call numbers thatsounded out all day on Sept. 11, 11 yearsago; 10-13 means “officer down.”

the 10-13 Club will be joined by FireDepartment of City of New York retireesClub, members of the Brevard CountySheriff’s office, U.S. military units andother police, fire, civic and fraternalorganizations and public officials inhosting the memorial.

From thePublisher

hello Friends!

I hope everyone has weathered the first hurricane of the season to affect Brevard County. though theeye of Isaac arrived on land to the west of Florida, we experienced not only bands of rain from the stormfor days, but a secondary system that acted as a mini-hurricane right over Brevard. our thoughts andprayers are with the victims of Isaac.

September is hurricane preparation month, and inside you will find excellent tips, contact numbers and awebsite if you need more information. “June too soon, July stand by, and August a must!,” as the sayinggoes.

though November is officially the end of hurricane season, we anticipate the last of the bad weather anda lovely break in the hot weather that arrives in october, just in time for the second annual Scarecrow Stroll& harvest Festival.

You’ll again have the chance to visit businesses across the county to vote on your favorite scarecrowsoct. 1-11, and purchase your favorite one at the harvest Festival on Saturday, oct. 13 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.Come check out our perfect new location, the harvest field behind Church at Viera on Wickham road,which will enhance our event with CAV’s largest pumpkin patch in the county.

Proceeds from the scarecrow silent action will go to rolling readers, which sends volunteers into at-riskschools to read to students. Bring food donations to fill our local pantries.

Schools will again have the chance to create and display up to five “schoolcrows” at the festival, with proceeds going right back to those schools. Come and support them!

have a happy September! Jill Blue-Gaines

A small Rockledge warehouse maybecome known as the birthplace of arevolutionary idea that changed the waythe world recharges batteries—withoutplugging in.

InfraTech’s original idea was to dotechnical assessments of infrastructure,but that idea has changed to somethingmuch bigger, according to Presidentand CEO Allan Riggs

Riggs is a former submarine officerand his partner in the company, DennyGuignard, is a former Lockheed MartinFlight Test Engineer.

The new power source is amagnesium-air fuel cell that uses saltwater to create energy that dissipatesover time.

“The fuel is magnesium and thesurrounding media is salt water, so theresulting by-product is just like themedicine Milk ofMagnesia,’’ Guignardsaid.

The company’sslogan is “Needpower? Just addwater.”

“A total of sevenbattery chargerprototypes are in theworks for which wehave applied for eightpatents,” Guignardsaid.

Riggs expects theproducts will be ableto be marketedworldwide, soon.

“We’re at the end ofthe development stage.Our first product willbe a five-ouncewearable charger, likeon your belt, that willcharge six AA batteries20 times, for $29.95,’’Riggs said.

The biggest marketsfor the chargers areexpected to be inSouth America, Haitior the Middle East,“places where there is

no power yet they still need batteries,’’he said.

The power units are also expected tobe used to power water purificationunits, where contaminated water, withjust a small amount of salt added, canbe used to create power to cleansehundreds of gallons of water.

Riggs and Guignard also believe theunits will be perfect for use inpowerless areas following a majorhurricane, where most power lines are downed.

Riggs said that his company hasfuture plans to create chargers for C-and D-size batteries and even a fuel cellthe size of a D-cell battery and a batterythat will be self-charging when saltwater is added.

“But the real key to what we’redoing is that the chargers are green andproduce no hazardous materialswhatsoever,’’ Riggs said.SL

Seniors reacted to the“Breaking Routines”column as novel, but feel their longevity isrelated to a stableenvironment and limitedchange over time.

Daily routines and anorderly transition throughlife provide stability.

It appears “differentstrokes for different folks” applies to along life. For each person, the journey isunique and different. More peoplecommented that a daily routine providesthe stability and firmness in theirexistence with limited stress and trauma.

As I studied the stability factor inlong life, I found more evidence thatregular routines, a belief in God,religion, prayer, ritual, familyconnectivity, long-time marriages,friendships, valued work and devotedservice to others over time makes thedifference.

Through a stable passage throughlife, even with some hiccups, there isthe firmness rooted in reasonableexpectations, realistic goals, promisesmet, vows kept and a focus on eternity.Beyond the day-to-day routine, thecentenarian sees a promise fortomorrow.

They see their time on earth as ashort journey, but look forward to thenext life.

They look at “What do I needtoday?” and “What do I want?” Theyfollow the thoughts of philosopherPeter Maurin, who wrote: “The worldwould be better off if people tried to

become better. Andpeople wouldbecome better ifthey stopped tryingto become betteroff.” Pressure toaccumulatepossessions that areout of reach createsinstability.

Stress is good ifit challenges one to succeed, toaccomplish and to maintain order inlife and work. Distress is the harmfulfactor that creates unrest, chaos andfriction. Moving from healthy habits tounhealthy ones disrupts the stability inlife. When a loving family caregiverbecomes part of the stability in anolder person’s life, they both cherishthe time and experience of giving,receiving and reminiscing.

A steady path prepares people to deal with outside forces of all types.Those who live a long life have theresilience and capability to deal withchange. They have a stable structure inplace. They plan ahead and know where they are going. Stable seniorshave developed a spiritual life, earned a living, managed their resources welland stayed out of debt. They nurturefamily ties, friendships andrelationships, knowing that when youcultivate and nourish there will begrowth and an abundant harvest.

We recently visited,on a one-day tour, oneof the oldest and finestparks in Florida.

Highlands HammockState Park is an easyhour ride, a little morethan two hours fromBrevard County. Thisoutstanding 9,000-acrepark is located just four miles west ofSebring in Highland County.

Start your tour of the park at thevisitors center to learn that during theGreat Depression of the 1930s,President Franklin Rooseveltcommissioned the CivilianConservation Corps (CCC) to developthe park’s many facilities, including aninviting botanical garden.

The craftsmanship of the men in theCCC is evident in the lasting quality ofthe buildings, bridges, numerous trailsand playgrounds that are available forus to enjoy 80 years later.

Take the one-hour tram tours andtravel into remote areas of the park,where you will see alligators, turtles,wading birds and more. The park’svaried habitats provide excellentbirding opportunities and are part of thestate’s Great Florida Birding Trail.

A bird checklist is available at theranger station. Tram tours are Tuesdaythrough Friday at 1 p.m. Two tram toursrun on the weekends at 1 and 2:30 p.m.for a fee.

Elevated boardwalks meanderthrough an old-growth bald cypress

swamp filled withcabbage palmettos,ferns, bromeliads,orchids and otherplants and flowers.Experts haveestimated that some ofthe trees in the swampmay be more than1,000 years old. One,

possibly the largest oak tree in Florida,has a girth of more than 36 feet.

Wildlife is in abundance. In additionto the American alligators, you may seewhite tailed deer, gopher tortoises,frogs, otters and golden silk spiders. Alltypes of birds native to Florida havebeen seen here. Bobcats and the rareFlorida panther have been seen byvisitors on many occasions.

There are many more things yourfamily can do at this remarkable park.You can participate in bicycling,camping, horseback riding, hiking,picnicking or enjoying the playground.

Retired Air Force Colonel Bill Brandon jokes that he feels ancientwhen he tells the story of the hospitalwhere he was born.

“It was Telfair Hospital in Savannahin 1932,” he said. “The last time welooked, the old hospital had become amuseum.”

The Georgia boy did not hail from amilitary family, although his dadserved in the Navy during World War I.At the University of Alabama, he zeroed in on a law degree, but the AirForce intrigued him.

“On a lark, I took the pilot trainingtest,” he said.

He passed, so out went the lawbooks and the Crimson Tide and incame the planes and the Air Force

“I was going to be an ace in Koreaand shoot down 20 Migs,” he said.

Accepted for the aviation cadet program, Brandon was assigned toHondo and Webb Air Force bases inTexas before heading north with theStrategic Air Command to PlattsburghAir Force Base. Located by LakeChamplain in the extreme northeastcorner of New York, it is just 20 milesfrom Canada. For a southern boy, theclimate change was dramatic.

“Little did I know that in Februaryyou can drive your car across the lakefrom Plattsburgh to Burlington, Vermont,” Brandon said.

There was also a problem with theAir Force base. It had no runway,

forcing Brandon and his fellow flyboys to fly their C-45s from the municipal airport. The Air Force even-tually made the best of the major in-convenience of an unfinished runwayby sending Brandon and his crew to

Pinecastle Air Force Base in Florida.For Brandon, it was one lucky

move. In Orlando, he first caught sightof Marie, the Sunshine State girl whohas been his wife for more than half acentury. Brandon was a pilot buddy ofMarie’s brother-in-law. In fact, Brandon and Marie walked down theaisle as part of her sister’s bridal party.This past month, the couple celebrated55 years of togetherness.

The young airman progressedthrough the Air Force, but with thephase out of the B-47s on the horizon,Brandon revisited the University of Alabama. He speedily earned his degree in industrial management under Operation Bootstrap.

“I took 55 semester hours in oneyear to get the degree,” he said.

The 1960s saw Brandon at Home-stead Air Force Base as aircraft com-mander and eventually as wing staff. At the height of Vietnam, Brandon wasnamed chief of the Capabilities Division and assigned to Guam. Theglamour phase of Brandon’s career arrived with his promotion to lieutenantcolonel as an aide-de-camp to 8th AirForce commander Alvan Gillem. Forthree fun days, Brandon guided BobHope and his entourage when the stars,including Connie Stevens, Ms. Worldand the Golddiggers, were on tour inGuam.

Assignment to the Pentagon followed Guam, as did a promotion tocolonel and a job as chief of the Combat Forces Branch. During

President Richard Nixon’s second inauguration, Brandon was asked toserve as military aide to GovernorGeorge Wallace. A Parade magazinephoto of the inaugural platform showsBrandon behind Wallace, as Bob Hopestands nearby.

As Brandon’s career and familythrived, tragedy hit quick and hard in1975, upending the family’s world inan instant.

“We were coming back with thefamily from a church camp when wewere rear-ended by a tractor trailer,”Brandon said. “My 14-year-old son andhis friend were in the back, sleeping.His friend was killed and my son wascritically injured.”

Comatose for three months, Brandon’s son never recuperated. Hewas plagued with disabilities until hepassed away at age 34.

Brandon left the Air Force to helphis family cope. With the master’s inbusiness administration he earned fromGeorge Mason University, Brandon assumed vice presidential roles at bothsavings and loans and commercialbanks before launching his own financial investment firm.

The colonel had seen and liked Brevard while visiting Orlando, so in2001 Brandon and his wife settled intoretirement at Indian River ColonyClub. With three daughters, their hus-bands and their nine children, there isno shortage of family reunions. SL

Eve Newsom didn’t have time for dollsas a child. She was too busy gazing at the horses that grazed and

raced near her home in Grove City, Ohio.Now, dolls have become a passion. But,

she hasn’t forgotten about horses. Despite living on the beach at CapeCanaveral, Newsom would haveno problems forsaking the beach tolive in a place whereshe could raisehorses.

“Dogs,cats, pigs andhorses—if it’s afour-legged, furrycreature, I like it,” saidNewsom, who has becomefamous for transforming ordinarydolls into what she calls reborn goddesses.“I can’t forget about feathers, too. Mybird’s over there.”

Newsom’s reborn goddesses are so lifelike they can fool shoppers while ridingin a baby carriage at the supermarket orwhile sitting in a child’s protective seat inthe backseat of a car. Social experimentshave been done to see if onlookers wouldcall the police or break the window of acar to save the ‘dying’ infant in a car on ahot day.

Many women are happy to live the fantasy of having a baby without the demands of diapers, bottled milk and criesin the night.

“Play dolls didn’t look lifelike—the keyis to make it more realistic,” Newsom said.“I take a play doll and make it lifelikethrough an existing transformation. I wantto make it a lifelike-looking infant.”

Newsom, who has been featured onCBS’s “Inside Edition” and ABC’s“20/20,” doesn’t always work with someone’s foundation.

“I prefer to make things from scratch,”Newsom said. “I can use a clay-cast moldfor the body and then use silicone for thehead. It’s more complicated, but it’s thesame genre. I feel like going the extrayard. This is more for adults with thesematerials for the pieces. If a child tears itapart, it could be lethal. I have made a lineof dolls for kids, which are a little sturdierand with less-volatile ingredients.”

The dolls can be ordered and purchased through Newsom’s website atEvesRealisticReborns.com.

“My market is difficult to ascertain,”Newsom said. “Through eBay and mywebsite, I have sold dolls all over theworld. I guess my average market is forwomen in their mid-30s to early-50s.”

As is the case with many artists, Newsom has several potential projectsgoing through her mind at all times.

“I'm now into sculpting,” she said. “It’sso hard to work in three-dimensional whenyou’re used to one-dimensional. I’m lim-ited by that, but I really want to makesomething when it’s a challenge. I love bigart—I’d love to do a mural. I’d also like todo painting on canvas.”

Newsom never studied art in highschool or college.

“I’d get in trouble for drawing in highschool,” she said. “Something would comeup in my mind during class, and I had to

get it on paper. I think I’m artistic frombirth; I’m self taught and I’m not a geniusby any means.”

Despite the success in her many projects, Newsom still wonders from timeto time.

“If I could do it over, I would havefound some means to go to an art college,” she said. “It could have openedother (media) for work if I had been exposed to it. It’s kind of blind luck howthings have worked out.”

Before moving to Florida six years agowith her husband, Bobby Lee Newsom, she socialized with other localartists at the Gallery Hop in Columbus,Ohio. They also raised horses.

“I bought my first Shetland pony at 12,”Newsom said. “I saved my money frombabysitting at 25 cents an hour. It took allsummer and I kept the quarters in a Sucrets tin. I saved $18 in quarters, mymom gave me $2 and they sold me myfirst pony for $20. I owned horses until Iwas 40. I made a vow, when I sold my lasthorse, that I wouldn’t own another until Iowned my own place.”

Her love of horses should have ended atan early age.

“I rode for the first time when Iwas 10 years old,” Newsom said.“I climbed a fence at Beulah Parkand got on a horse. Some kids thenthrew rocks at the horse and I fell

off and hit a stake. I needed 150stitches and I had no skin on theside of my face. I didn’t care; it wasfun riding that horse.” SL

Renting and leasing incommunity associations isa fact of life that is oftenmet with mixed reactions.Proactive communicationwith both owners andtenants avoids most of thepitfalls. Owners have aresponsibility to makesure their tenants areaware of the rules andregulations as well as thebenefits of the association.

Many associations require owners toprovide a copy of the lease to themanagement. It has been myexperience that some associations

actually requirelandlord-ownersutilize a specificlease.

Often, boardmembers considerrenters as lessdesirable thanowners, which isunfortunate becauserenters have thesame potential tomake positive

contributions to the association.Occasionally, I will hear of a

potential renter deciding againstrenting a unit because they do not wantthe regulations and restrictions.

With few exceptions, tenants havethe same rights as owners. Rentersshould be allowed to take advantage ofall of the association’s amenities. Someassociations restrict the number ofunits that are leased or set a certainpercentage of the total. It is commonfor lending institutions to consider thenumber of leased units as part of amortgage application. The number ofleased units is frequently a question ona title company’s estoppel request.

Owners, be sure to keep yourtenants and management informed andassociations should strive to treatrenters with the respect they deserve.

Renting and leasing in communityassociations is a fact of life that is oftenmet with mixed reactions.

It’s important to point out that Mr.Kneiser is not an attorney and legalquestions should be referred to yourattorney. However, a requirement of hisCommunity Association Manager’slicense is to stay abreast of the FloridaAssociation laws.

In a run-down apartment, Tempemakes a ghastly discovery: thedecomposing bodies of three infants.According to the landlord, a womannamed Alma Rogers lives there. Then aman shows up looking for AlvaRodriguez. Are Amy Roberts, AlmaRogers and Alva Rodriguez the sameperson? And where is she now?

Heading up the investigation isTempe’s old flame, homicide detectiveAndrew Ryan. His counterpart from theRoyal Canadian Mounted Police is

This unlikely triofollows the woman’s trail, first toEdmonton and then to Yellowknife, aremote diamond-mining city deep in theNorthwest Territories.

Evangelist focuses on loveduring 3-night revival at Merritt Assembly of God

Many placesof worship todayhave replacedhard woodenpews andtraditionalpianos andorgans withcushioned chairs and CD music tracks.

This is what I discovered when I walkedinto Merritt Assembly of God on Sundaymorning, July 29. I went back in time 52 yearsto attending services there with my friendAndrea, and her grandmother, Aggie. Theedifice looked the same on the outside, but Iremembered the inside being larger. I recalledthe hard pews and visualized the instruments; Icould almost hear the pastor’s son playing theheck out of that piano.

I was warmly greeted by Pastor BobArthurs, with whom I had spoken on the phoneearlier. He had explained that they were havinga three-night revival featuring EvangelistPatricia Holland. I was excited! I love revivalsand I love female preachers. I attended thefinal service, with Holland preaching on love.

This small-of-stature, huge-of-spirit woman,wife, mother and grandmother has spentdecades ministering to children. But lately,she’s gone to another level—preaching toadults. And preach she did, with all her heart.

“God wants us to rewrite the story of ourlife,” Holland passionately told thecongregation. “His love can only change uswhen we realize and embrace that love.”

When we fall in love, Holland continued,

we want to be with that person, serve them,please them and give to them. “Fall in lovewith the Lord,” she challenged.

Holland’s book, “Pentecost Lost, Don’tBelieve It,” is a walk through her life and howshe embraced the Pentecostal religion. And,while some believe it is an outdated historicalevent, she says it’s time for another outpouringof that power experienced in the secondChapter of Acts.

To contact Holland, visit patriciaholland.orgor call 904-287-2869.

I felt happy visiting my old home church.And, I did feel that same love I felt as a younggirl so long ago.

Merritt Assembly of God is located at 165N. Grove St., Merritt Island. For moreinformation, call 321-454-4263. 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

Dr. Zach Chambers hasjoined the Deuk Spine Institutein Viera, specializing inanesthesia and interventionalpain management.

Born in Alaska, Chambersearned his bachelor’s degreefrom Brigham YoungUniversity, went to MedicalSchool at the University ofSouth Alabama, and didanesthesia training at VirginiaCommonwealth University.

“It’s really an exciting timeto do what I do. It’s definitelyin its heyday right now.They’re using spinal cordstimulators for just aboutanything,’’ he said.

In the area of innovation,Chambers said he is excitedabout advances in treatmentsthat use alternatives to X-rays,which are known to causehealth problems throughradiation exposure.

“Most of our proceduresare guided by X-rays and wehave to be protected by leadand special glasses and thepatient is exposed to radiation.Now, we’re trying to figureout what blocks we can dowithout the X-rays, but withultrasound guidance. I thinkthat’s a great thing we’re doingfor our patients: we areallowing them to be treated,but without some of theharmful effects of theradiation. We’re really tryingto do as many blocks as we

can possibly do with theultrasound rather than X-rays,’’ he said.

Chambers started at Deukon July 23, moving from theUniversity of Mississippi inJackson, where he wascompleting a fellowshiptraining in interventional painmanagement.

“I had interviewed at a lotof places, but I really fell inlove with this place. I thinkthe doctors here have a reallyamazing philosophy. We’re

here to make money, but theyare absolutely 100 percentinto patient care and doingthe right thing for the patient.That’s what makes them sosuccessful,’’ Chambers said.Deuk Spine Institute islocated at: MelbourneSurgery Center and Clinic,8043 Spyglass Hill Rd., at321-255-6670. The TitusvilleClinic is located at 836 Century Medical Dr., at321-383-8092. SL

There is no fee to participatein the 5K walk. Participants are welcome to donate to thecause and to encourage familymembers and friends to supportthem.

Subdural hematomas, or bleedingbetween the brain's surface and itsouter covering (the dura), can causedementia-like symptoms and changesin mental function.

Exposure to lead, other heavy metals or other poisonous substancescan lead to symptoms of dementia.These symptoms may or may not besolved after treatment, depending onhow badly the brain is damaged. People who have abused substancessuch as alcohol and recreational drugssometimes display signs of dementiaeven after the substance abuse hasended. This condition is known as substance-induced persisting dementia.

In rare cases, people with brain tumors may develop dementia becauseof damage to their brains. Symptomsmay include changes in personality,psychotic episodes or problems withspeech, language, thinking and memory.

Anoxia and a related term, hypoxia,are often used interchangeably to

describe a state in which there is a diminished supply of oxygen to anorgan’s tissues. Anoxia may be causedby many different problems, includingheart attack, heart surgery, severeasthma, smoke or carbon monoxide inhalation, high-altitude exposure, strangulation or an overdose of anesthesia. In severe cases of anoxia, thepatient may be in a stupor or a coma forperiods ranging from hours to days,weeks or months. Recovery depends onthe severity of the oxygen deprivation.As recovery proceeds, a variety of psychological and neurological abnormalities, such as dementia or psychosis, may occur. The person alsomay experience confusion, personalitychanges, hallucinations or memory loss.

The brain requires a high level ofoxygen in order to carry out its normalfunctions. Therefore, problems such aschronic lung disease or heart problemsthat prevent the brain from receivingadequate oxygen can starve brain cells and lead to the symptoms of dementia. SL

My 80-year-old auntsays she hasViagra. Myaunt? Yes,she went tothe doctorthe other daycomplaining of dizziness and saysthe doctor diagnosed her with Viagra. I think she meant vertigo.Now my uncle may have Viagra, butI wasn’t bold enough to ask. He didn’t look dizzy, anyway, but he didlook a little tired. OK, that’s a subject for another day.

You know, we seniors don’t always get things exactly right, sothe docs need to be careful what theytell us. I saw this elderly friend in thegrocery store with orange granules on his head. He had justcome back from seeing the doc abouthis thinning hair. So I asked himwhat’s up with his head. “Doc said torub on Metamucil.” Uh, I think hesaid Minoxidil. I’ve never seen anold guy sprint that fast to his car.

Come on folks. Give us a littlehelp here! Write this stuff down forus to make sure we get it right.

With all the medical acronyms outthere, it’s no wonder we can’t keep

our conditions straight. I don’t knowif I’m under an HMO, PPO or POS.The only part I understand is theB.I.L.L. Heck, I thought COPD wasa police benevolent group I was supposed to donate to. When my insurer said I needed PCP, I thoughtHE was on drugs. I didn’t even usethat as a teenager. Then, I found outhe meant Primary Care Provider.Whew. He could have given me aHA (heart attack), which is no laughing matter so why do they callit “HA?”

They say the mind is the secondthing to go. I don’t remember whatthe first is, but as long as they keepmaking Tequila they can keep theirpills and their acronyms and I’ll bejust fine.

Dear Lynne,I have Original Medicare Parts A and

B and received a letter from my doctorthat states she is now participating in anAccountable Care Organization. Mybrother’s doctor is also in Brevard and hedidn’t get one of these. I don’t want to bein a Medicare Advantage Plan! What isan Accountable Care Organization?

—Accountable Care Confused

Dear Accountable Care Confused:An Accountable Care Organization (ACO) is a group of doctors, hospitals and

other health care providers who work together to provide you with better, morecoordinated care. The doctors and hospitals in an ACO communicate with you andwith each other to ensure that you are getting both the care you need when you aresick and the support you need to stay healthy.

An ACO is not an HMO or an insurance company. An ACO cannot tell youwhich health care providers to see and cannot change your Medicare benefits. Ifyour doctor participates in a Medicare ACO, you have the right to choose anydoctor, hospital or provider that accepts Medicare at anytime.

The letter you received is probably your notification that your doctor has chosento participate in an ACO. You might also see a sign posted in the doctor’s office or ahospital noting this information.

How will this benefit you? You will not need to fill out as many medicalforms asking for the same information. All of your health care providers willknow what tests you have had because that information will be shared amongyour health-care team.

Will you see any changes? What you pay, your Medicare benefit and thecost of your coverage will not increase. You still have the right to choose anyhospital or doctor who accepts Medicare, even if that provider is not a part ofyour ACO. Some ACOs will hire someone to follow up with you after adoctor’s visit or procedure to ensure that you understand how to take yourmedicine or to schedule a follow-up visit.

Is your personal health information protected? While more medicalpersonnel will have access to your medical information, the privacy andsecurity of your medical information is protected by federal law.

Will this lead to better care for you? Your healthcare providers will haveaccess not only to the health issues for which they have treated you, but also toinformation from all of your providers. This will allow them to bettercoordinate your health care.

For more information about Accountable Care Organizations, you can talkwith your doctor, visit medicare.gov/ACO, or contact a SHINE counselor. Tocontact a SHINE counselor for assistance with your questions, call the ElderHelpline toll-free at 1-800-963-5337 or locally at 321-504-2038. SHINE is aprogram of the Florida Department of Elder Affairs, and it is administered inpartnership with the state’s 11 Area Agencies on Aging. For Brevard County,the Area Agency on Aging is the Senior Resource Alliance, located in bothCocoa and Orlando.

If you have a question you would like the Ask Lynne column to answer,write or email Lynne Meagher at Senior Life and look for a response in one ofthe next issues. Lynne can be reached by writing Senior Life at 7630 N. Wickham Road, Ste. 105, Viera, FL 32940, by emailinginfo@mysenior life.com or by calling 321-242-1235. SL

“It was just some-thing we always did,and something I knowmeant a lot to my chil-dren’s grandparents. Iknow this because nowit means a lot to me,”said Shirley Greer, whohelps daughter and son-in-law Amandaand Dan Lewis raise their children, toddler daughterPhoebe and baby son Peyton,born this Leap Year Day.

National Grandparents Daywas created in 1978 by a federalproclamation, passed by Con-gress and signed by PresidentJimmy Carter. It was first officially celebrated on Sunday,Sept. 9, 1979, falling on the samedate this year. It is always thefirst Sunday after Labor Day.

But Grandparents Day reallybegan much earlier as the brain-child of Marian Lucille HerndonMcQuade, a West Virginia home-maker and mother of 15 children.In 1970, she began a campaign toestablish a special day to honorgrandparents. Her enthusiasmsoon attracted the support ofbusinesses, churches, civicgroups and political leaders.

According to an excerpt fromthe National Grandparents DayProclamation, “As we seek tostrengthen the enduring valuesof the family, it is appropriatethat we honor our grandparents.Grandparents are our continu-ing tie to the near-past, to theevents and beliefs and experi-ences that so strongly affect ourlives and the world around us.Whether they are our own orsurrogate grandparents who fillsome of the gaps in our mobilesociety, our senior generationalso provides our society a linkto our national heritage and traditions.”

According to the NationalGrandparents Day Council,Grandparents Day has a threefold purpose:

• To honor grandparents• To give grandparents an

opportunity to show love fortheir children’s children.

• To help children becomeaware of the strength, information and guidanceolder people can offer.Thus, Grandparents Day is

really an opportunity to valueelders regardless of whetherthey or their children had children of their own.

In fact, according to Mc-Quade in a 1995 interviewwith the magazine, WonderfulWest Virginia, the idea tolaunch the national holidaystemmed from interactionwith older members of hercommunity as well as herown grandparents.

“After working all day onthe farm, Grandma wouldwalk off to visit elderly peopleof the community,” McQuaderecalled. “Often I would tagalong. I never forgot talkingwith those delightful people.That’s where my love and respect for oldsters started.”

Greer and her husbandCharles, known by theirgrandchildren as MeMe andPawPaw, together have three children, including daughterJamie Cox, who is in the AirForce, and daughter Chaz.

“They are both still prettyyoung,” Shirley Greer said.With a smile spreading acrossher face, she added, “but theyboth assure us they will oneday provide us with more reasons to celebrate Grandparents Day.” SL

BOOMER/SENIOR SENTIMENTS

Do you feel moreboomerish or seniorish?Senior Life Walter Kiely

What do you thinkof the all-newBoomerish comicstrip in SEniORLiFE?Senior Life Darrell Woehler

I feel more seniorish, because I feel awhole lot closer to seniorish thanboomerish.—Ferrel Mazzatto

It’s OK. A comic strip can take a sensitive subject and not be subjectto as much retribution as in a regularstory.—Bob Prais

I definitely feel seniorish for sure, forsure.—George Hall

Many of us have long since passedthe Boomer Age. But it still may develop into something more for allboomer-types. This first Boomerishissue strip may be more for our children, who are true Boomers.—Carolyn Hecker

I like it. This one is not particularlyfunny, but the strip has the potentialto say some good things for sen-iors… It’s a start.—Marian Schaffer

I feel boomerish for sure.—Al Rorbik

I feel boomerish because I have lots ofenergy at my age.—Helena Gelas

Pretty good. Humor is one of the bestmedicines for the inevitable problemsof people of our ages. —Chuck Hubbard
