hello friends,We are getting more excited, at senior life, as we prepare for our 15th anniversary next month.

please make plans to join us for what we hope will be a spectacular day. last year, to celebrate our 14thanniversary, i brought a troupe from the sleuths Mystery Dinner show orlando to Brevard County forwhat i thought would be a one-time event. The response was overwhelming, so we brought the groupback for two more sold-out shows. now, ive decided to bring this dinner theater to our county on aquarterly basis. once the details are announced, the shows sell out quickly. if you would like to be placedon our wait list, please visit myseniorlife.com and fill out the form. We are not taking calls, at this time,for the wait list.

if you are a photographer, we hope you will participate in the Viera Wetlands nature Festival andphotography Contest. We look forward to meeting all our local photographers as they will be droppingoff their photos at our office. There are three categories, so everyone can participate. Take the whole family out to the Viera Wetlands and start snapping.

Make it a fabulous Florida day!

By george White

Many of the local World War iiveterans preparing for a March 24 honorFlight to see memorials in Washington,DC had never met the guardians who willmade the day-long visit possible.

That changed March 10 when 25space Coast honor Flight veterans met atthe Wickham park senior Center for anorientation session.

its very emotional. Many of theseveterans are sharing their war stories forthe first time, said Bill Welser, ofMelbourne, board president for spaceCoast honor Flight. When the programwas started in 2005, most of the veteranscould go. now they are getting older andfor some of them, its much moredifficult.

Among the pairs meeting for the firsttime was U.s. Army infantry veteranMal Roberts of Melbourne and hisguardian Dennis Meehan, who donatedthe $400 needed to payhis portion of the trip.All veterans participatefor free.

i think its great thatwere able to get theveterans up there to seethe memorials,Meehan said.

Roberts, originallyfrom Brooklyn, n.Y.,suffered injuries duringWorld War ii that lefthim 100 percentdisabled.

he went in theArmy and got hurt,said Roberts wifeDeanna Roberts, whosays Mal, to this day,cannot watch warmovies because of theexperience. hesexcited about going onthis trip, she said.

like most of theWorld War ii-eraveterans, time ismoving along and theyneed to take advantageof the offer before theyare too old or too sickto travel.

i heard about honor Flight last yearand i knew i wanted to do it, MalRoberts said.

The day of the trip started at 4:30 a.m.at Wickham park senior Center. Thesouthwest Airlines flight left orlandoabout 8:30 a.m. and arrived inWashington, DC about two hours later.

The group visited the Tomb of theUnkown soldier at Arlington nationalCemetery and memorials honoringveterans who served in iwo Jima as wellas memorials to service members inWorld War ii, the Korean and Vietnam conflicts.

The group returned to the senior centerabout 11:15 p.m. that night.

The first honor flight took place in May 2005, when six small planes flew 12 veterans to Washington, DC. Due tohigh participation, the program beganusing commercial flights.

For more information about thenonprofit honor Flight network or tomake a donation, visit honorflight.org. SL

Happy Anniversary to Senior Life!This month marks the 11th anniversary of Senior Life and just

like any 11-year-old; we know we have not fully reached our poten-tial, despite how much weve grown and how much weve learned.We have changed over the past 11 years and we know we couldnthave done it without your support and encouragement.

Youve probably noticed we have some new names in our familyof writers and photographers, but we still have many of the namesyouve come to recognize and trust. Lucy Kline has been a favoritecolumnist with Senior Life for many years and Mary Brotherton hasbeen writing features almost as long. Martha Masiello has also beenwith us several years.

More importantly are you, our readers. Some of you have beenreading Senior Life since the very first issue, 11 years ago. Sincethat time, youve seen how the paper has developed and grown.Youve watched us sponsor wonderful events and stand firm in ourcommitment to the community. Each month you have shown supportof the paper and helped guide us with your comments and sugges-tions. More importantly, almost every day, someone calls or emailsus to let us know how much Senior Life means to them.

We like to know that we are providing a service that is not onlyhelpful, but one that you appreciate. Thats the best anniversary giftyou could ever give us.

Have a magical May!Best regards, Jill Blue-Gaines

The Space Coast Blue Knights Motorcycle Club is made up of retired and current BrevardCounty law enforcement officers, whose members range from their 20s to their 70s. Cover photo: Retired and current Brevard County law enforcement officers are members ofthe Space Coast Blue Knights Motorcycle Club.

By angela Smith

Youve probably seen them.They ride in groups and pass byyou along the roads of BrevardCounty, this motorcycle club ismaking a difference.

in fact, theyre retired and activelocal police officers, the BlueKnights Motorcycle Club.

Were different than what people think, said member MikeConnor. its a brotherhood and sisterhood of riders who have cometogether, and being in law enforce-ment, the average person doesntexperience what we do and formthe bond that goes outside the job.

Founded locally in the 1980s,the riders are a part of BlueKnights international that wasformed in 1974 in Maine and areamong more than 20,000 world-wide who range from their early20s to retirees in their 70s.

The camaraderie is remark-able, Connor said. i know ifsomething were to happen to me,they would take care of me and myfamily. Knowing that is amazing.

The clubs meetings are hosted

throughout the county to supportlocal businesses. An extra attrac-tion of membership is road trips.

A big part of the clubs activitiesis its humanitarian efforts, includ-ing donating money to severalcharities, riding for causes likeFallen heroes and childhood diseases and showcasing motorcycle safety.

We try to ride by example,said club president Jay Martin, whowas a local officer for 31 years.We want people to learn how toride safely.

Currently the group is preparingfor the Blue Knight internationalspring conference theyre hostingApril 19 through April 22 in Cocoa Beach.

Were getting prepared for theconference and for members fromall over to come and ride with us,Martin said. its a lot of work. Butits exciting and i enjoy the back-ground of it so everyone has some-thing and ive enjoyed seeing howthe chapter has grown.

in late February, an exhibit celebratingwomens suffrage was presented by theGeneral Federation Womens Clubs Melbourne Womans Club at the libertyBell Museum in Melbourne across fromthe Melbourne Auditorium on oak street.This will be a permanent exhibit.

Women the world over fought for theright to gain equality with men in manyareas of life. American women, aftermuch campaigning and demonstrating, finally gained the right to vote in 1920.

The exhibit at the museum honoredthe women who fought so hard for thisright. photos of many of the women

who worked to gain freedoms for otherwomen adorn an entire wall of the museum. This is the first time the museum has had such a display and apresentation to educate citizens aboutthe struggle of those who championedthe cause.

The exhibit-opening event includedrefreshments, a welcome by honorAmerica Chairman George Geletko,the invocation by Marion pellicanoAmbrose, the Pledge of Allegiance ledby Tommy and Maggie Unger, Geminielementary students, and then the national anthem. After a poetry read-ing, susan Anderson, museum director,led a tour. The museum houses

hundreds of historical items datingfrom the 1700s to the present.

Many of the Womans Club memberswere dressed in period clothing, whichcontributed to the historical feel of the occasion.

The wordretirement is soappropriatelynamed. Retiringfrom our careerjobs was supposedto mean rest, travel,

golf or whatever relaxes us.Unfortunately, most of us weresomewhere between diligent workersand workaholics. so upon retirement,and while we were still healthy enough,we find other things to fill our days.

This is why the word re-tire-ment isso perfect. All were doing is findingnew ways to tire ourselves out. When iretired from nAsA, i wanted to do allthe fun stuff i used to dabble with.Dabbling sounds like what you do withyour card at a bingo game or thescribbling you do when daydreaming

but instead, dabbling is that fun stuffyou always wanted to do but never hadenough time for when you wereworking. i dabbled with the idea ofwriting a humor column, taking upgolf, singing and DJing, working myreal estate brokerage a little harder,doing volunteer touring for nAsA,offering more time to hospice, thechurch, the kids and now the grandkids.im dabbling so much im going toneed to check into a rest home just toget some sleep.

so now im retired and all the stuffi used to dabble with has become mynew jobor i should say jobs.

But the Funny Thing isim notretired, but i am re-tiring myself. infact, i dont remember ever workingthis hard in my life. now imdabbling with the idea of going backto work fulltime to get some rest.

Noteworthy Events


As we make ourjourney through life, weadjust and cope with tasksof living, learning,earning and retiring. Aswe assume moreresponsibilities as astudent, a marriagepartner, a careeremployee, a parent and acitizen, we are faced withmultiple tasks. each taskassignedwork, a chore, a duty, a job, or anactivitymay trigger priorities.

in the process of adjusting to lifeschallenges, people learn to juggle a lotof balls when they learn to multi-task.They are able to handle a number oftasks at the same time. i watched anolder couple driving to see theirgrandchildren. The driver wasinvolved in driving, swatting a fly,eating a snack, talking to his spouseand listening to the radio.

people who live a long life continueto learn from their experiences and aregood at multi-tasking. They mayautomatically respond, or they may bediligent in handling tasks in priorityorder while recognizing their benefitsand risks.

in the book Man Down, by DanAbrams, he provides proof that womenare better in just about everything.We see successful career women whoare good spouses, parents, volunteers,community leaders and so much more.Behavioral psychologists attribute thisability to how they are wired.

Women, single parents andgrandmothers raising grandchildren

are better atmultitasking. Theyare able to organize,plan, budget,implement,communicate,control and evaluatewhile jugglingmultiple tasks inchallengingenvironments. They

can cook a meal, watch the children,sort laundry, watch television andhandle a telephone call at the sametime.

Technology has helped with theability to multi task. in spite of theinnovations, we hear more people sayif only i had more time Further,they comment, if the day was onlylonger! Actually, we have added moretasks to our lives. There is the internet,cell phones and the multi-taskingiphones that can keep us chained to anelectronic device to link with family,friends and lots of people we do notknow.

people who continue to live a longlife pick and choose the tasks theywant to perform. Many havesimplified their lives by not adaptingto all of the technological changes andaccompanying tasks. They havepriorities. They manage their taskchallenges in a positive manner.

looking back over almost 70 years since ifirst became a volunteer,its been quite an experi-ence. ive begun to real-ize lately that youcouldnt pay me enoughto do some of the jobsive done as a volunteer.

The satisfaction of helping so manypeople overcome the negative wayvolunteers are sometimes treated byhigher ups. i began to realize thereis occasionally a difference betweenthe people who work from the heartand those who work for a paycheck.

i first volunteered at the age of 10because patriotism and helping thewar effort was something most Americans did during World War ii.My parents had set examples. My dadwas an air raid warden, my mom wasthe manager of the Russian War Reliefstore and my grandmother foldedbandages for the Red Cross.

i gathered friends and neighbor-hood children to form a salvage club.We went to the apartment houses collecting items needed for the war effort. We collected empty tin cansand often had to wash them and flattenthem ourselves. We also collectedcans full of solid cooking fat, the foilfrom cigarette packages and chewinggum and many other things.

As years passed, i saw a need forvolunteers and id jump in to do whati could. At 18, i became a junior hostess at the Uso and an assistantBrownie leader; eventually, the leader.After my sons were of age, i became aCub scouts den mother. For years, iworked on the monthly annual fund

drives, going door-to-door col-lecting money forMarch of Dimes,The American heartfund, MuscularDystrophy, mentalhealth, cancer, etc.

in time, i becamecommunity chairperson for several ofthem. As a member of the local JuniorWomans Club, i became a volunteerat the hospital and other organizations.Years passed, and i became more involved in my own house of worshipand ended up wearing five differentchairperson hats of different committees or projects.

This century, i became volunteerstorefront manager for seniors vs.Crime. Then, our local Retired seniorVolunteers program, coordinated byAging Matters in Brevard, discoveredme. When i left that position afterthree years, i became a driver coordinator for senior Transerve, ourvery worthwhile transportation systemfor seniors who cant drive.

When the chairperson of Brevardelderlearning begged for a replacement, i finally became that replacement and still am. over theyears, i have also been the publicity chairperson for about five differentnonprofit agencies.

The non-monetary pay i have received from recipients, and frommost paid supervisors, is what makesme know just how worthwhile my efforts are and what an important rolei am playing in life.

some people meet their love by having friends introduce them. othersmeet their true love by simply findingthem out and about. Well, Karen Rothmel happened to meet her love online.

Karen Rothmels cat, A.J., died beforeChristmas last year, so one day she decided to browse around online atpetfinder.com to look for a cat. she founda beautiful tiger cat looking out of a glasscage standing on his back paws by thename of Mountain Dew on the societyfor prevention of Cruelty to Animals(spCA) website.

Mountain Dew coincidentally happens to be her granddaughters favorite drink; therefore, she hurried ondown to the spCA pet adoption centerand met the love of her life at first sight.

one look into those big green eyes andher heart melted.

she took him home and her grand-daughter, Breanna Mace, fell in love, too.

When you get a cat from the spCA, itis spayed or neutered before you take ithome and sometimes you get lucky be-cause it is already potty trained.

The name seems to fit the cat,Rothmel said. it loves to play with itspet mice and other toys. it also loves toplay with Breannas hair bands. it evenhelps itself to her hair bands from thebasket in her room.

The cat is so smitten with Breanna thathe sleeps with her every night. he is veryrambunctious. Rothmel deduced that thecat had no experience of love, warmthand protection before being adopted.

Reflecting American society and law at thetime, most black soldiers and sailors had beenrestricted to labor battalions and other supportpositions.

They said they didnt have brains enough tofly, but they proved them wrong. i was so hurtthat i couldnt fly with them but they werenttaking men with children and i was already adad. even at my age now, i would love to fly.im just sorry i couldnt have been a part of it.Those boys put everything into it, he said.

Another unforgettable highlight of his timeat Tuskegee was studying under GeorgeWashington Carver, in 1933.

it was during his last year of teaching, hesaid.

Watson, a Brevard resident since 1976,started hosts of Brevard and served as chairmanof the Christmas party at MilA elementary(Motivated, independent, lifelong Achievers)for 34 years. M.i.l.A. also stands for Merritt island launch Area, the schools formal name.Before that, he retired as the assistant to the president of the transportation union in newYork City.

ive been helping people all my life, hesaid.

But he is most proud of his work in gettingvocational education offered in public schools.

That has always been my pride and joy. iaccomplished more with that than with anything else, he said. SL
