September 2012FOREVER YOUNG

Grandparents andmemories go hand-in-handJust the words grandma and grandpa

evoke memories. That’s why wepaired grandparents and making

memories together as the themes forSeptember’s issue of Forever Young.Whether it’s the aroma of cookies in thekitchen, a fishing trip or a hug, many of ushave fond memories of our grandparentsand hope our grandchildren feel thesame.

Grandparents also connect us to thelarger world, our place in the family andhow we came to be where we are. Formany Boomers, our grandparents werethe immigrants who came to this countryand made our lives in America possible.

My maternal grandparents lived inTsarist Russia, in a small town called

Pilover Podolia, a shtetl, or village, whereJews were allowed to live. My grandfather,a scholarly and gentle man, was con-scripted into the Russian Army. When hewas forced by fellow soldiers to walknaked through the snow because of hisreligion, he and my grandmother packedup their belongings and made theoverland trip to a port and a ship thatwould take them to America.

VERO BEACH – The Youth Guid-ance Mentoring and Activity Pro-gram strives to help at-risk youngpeople make good choices. BarbaraSchlitt Ford, director of the program,said that the organization works with700 children a year who are consid-ered at risk because of their homecircumstances or because they are infoster care.

“Our purpose is to keep the kidsengaged with positive role models,”she said. “We have one-to-one men-toring and Saturday and eveningactivities. We offer scholarships sothat kids can participate in schooland extracurricular activities likegymnastics. Research shows that achild’s success depends on beingsupported and provided with oppor-tunities for success.”

Many of the mentors are retired.They may be grandparents withgrandchildren far away. This pro-gram lets them be around youngpeople again.

“The volunteers become surrogategrandparents, “Ms. Ford said. “Ifthey’re seasonal mentors, they arehere six months and mentor as penpals the rest of the time.”

Volunteers fill in an applicationand must pass a background check.They then come in for an orienta-tion, to learn about volunteer oppor-tunities and discuss whether theywant to come to group activities ormentor one-to-one.

“Volunteers often participate ingroup activities to get to know a widerange of kids,” Ms. Ford said. “Somewant to work with younger children,some may want teenagers and others

someone older, to help direct themtoward higher education. We havekids with business mentors. Theywork alongside the mentors in thebusiness.”

One of the most popular mentor-ing programs for seniors is an ongo-ing fitness program. Mentors andkids walk in Riverside Park and getnutrition information.

“If they bond at the group, theyhave the opportunity to take it to thenext level of fitness,” Ms. Ford said.

“We partner with some gyms, andwith a paid adult membership, thechild gets in for free. It’s motivatingfor the adult as well as the child. It’snot just fitness, but friendship andcompanionship. It’s a bridgebetween lifestyles and generations.

“Our mentors tell us they’re notsure who gets more from the rela-tionship. Instead of thinking aboutaches and pains and boredom, theirlives are enhanced with purposeands perspective. You get to bearound kids and they make youlaugh.”

The organization helps mentorslearn about the many kid-friendlyactivities in the community.

“There are festivals, the Environ-mental Learning Center, the botani-cal gardens, parks and beaches,” Ms.Ford said. They can walk and collectshells. We ask them to spend as littleas possible because it’s not about themoney. It’s about the time and thefriendship, the most valuable thingsthey have to share.”

The group is flexible about thehours a volunteer serves and tries tokeep travel to a minimum. Whilegroup activities have a set time, indi-vidual mentoring can be set at the

convenience of the volunteer.“People often start with group

mentoring so they don’t feel they areout there on their own,” Ms. Fordsaid. “Once they see it’s not scary and

it is fun, if they find a kid, they men-tor one-on-one.

“The mentoring can revolve

Scrapbooking preserves memories

VERO BEACH – Scrapbooking oftenstarts with a box of photos. That’swhen customers seek out to BonnieHughes, a consultant with Close toMy Heart, a scrapbooking and craftscompany.

“People who are interested havetons of photos and don’t know what todo with them,” she said. “People wantto be creative with pictures. I havethem organize the pictures so themesemerge. Then I suggest that theymake a page that appeals and add thephotos.”

Ms. Hughes works with scrapbookerBarbara O’Hanlon, who holds a big“crop,” or gathering of scrapbookerson the second Saturday of the monthat the Vero Beach Community Center.The event runs from 9 a.m.-11 p.m.and it’s a good place for beginners to

start.“You can see what everyone else

does and get inspired,” Ms. Hughesaid. “There’s a nominal fee to get atable to work on. You can do your ownlayouts or take a class on a particulartechnique. If you’re starting a project,there are vendor tables and you cansee what’s available.

“Most of the people who go are verywilling to share and they like to showwhat they’re doing. It’s a good socialoutlet. There are prizes and refresh-ments. I’ve made many friendsthrough the cropping experience.”

Ms. Hughes got involved in scrap-booking to deal with a large, far-flungfamily.

“We have a blended family of morethan 20 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren all over the country,”she said. “They send me pictures and Iget them from Facebook. Part of the

reason I got interested in scrapbook-ing was that there were so many pic-tures out there. I could put themtogether with stories. I print them out.I make scrapbooks for myself andalbums for other people.”

Ms. Hughes said that scrapbookersare only limited by their imaginations.

“There’s something new everyweek,” she said. There are 3-D effectpages with paper flowers that getglued on. You can curl paper and puton lace trinkets. There are balloons,glitter, ribbons, metallic charms,pockets for a baby’s tooth or hair andinteractive pages where you canrecord your voice. It’s endless. Somepeople are so creative it’s mind-bog-gling.”

Ms. Hughes said that scrapbookershave different styles.

“Some people are minimalist andclassic. They put an old-fashioned

photo album on colored papers with alittle journal. It’s simple, but verypleasing to the eye. Each individualhas their own taste.”

Scrapbooking is also a time for fam-ilies to spend together.

“Grandmothers and granddaugh-ters come to a crop,” Ms. Hughes said. “It gives mothers and daughters timeto spend together telling stories.Memories are treasures and it bringsthe treasure into view. Once the cre-ative juices start to flow and you getstarted, you don’t want to give it up. Itcan be low-key and small scale or itcan be very big.

“A lot of us have creativity within us,but we don’t know how to express it.They think, ‘Scrapbooking is some-thing I can do.’ It’s addictive.”

around an activity a mentor enjoysand wants to share, such as knitting,sailing, golf, tennis, woodworking,gardening or cooking. Retirees areperfect candidates because theyhave the time, life experience, wis-dom and a lot left to give. Some-times, they have no one to share itwith. That’s a perfect candidate forus.”

The need for volunteers is great.The organization serves 700 childrenbut only 200 have mentors.

“That’s a big group of kids waiting,”Ms. Ford said. “One reason theyhaven’t volunteered is that no one’sever asked. You can consider your-self officially asked.”

Ms. Cooney and Chelsea alsospent time helping other people,walking a dog or visiting a neighbor

and bringing dinner. They packedboxes for the troops. They went tothe movies, fairs and for walks onthe beach. They even went to theopera. As a member of the Silver-tones, Ms. Cooney was given tick-ets.

“I haven’t spent a lot of money,”Ms. Cooney said. “We’d go windowshopping, or stop at counters forfree makeup and skin care. She’shad some friends over to spend thenight and we played games. I hadswirling things from my ballroomdancing and they liked to try themon.

Mentors add grandchildren of the heart

VERO BEACH – Elaine and JimMcSweeney have four children andnine grandchildren. Or is it 11? Thecouple, who are volunteers with theYouth Guidance Mentoring and Activ-ities Program, consider the brotherand sister they mentor their 10th and11th grandchildren.

The McSweeneys, who are Massa-chusetts snowbirds, were introducedto the organization by a neighbor.

“After four children and nine grand-children, I was not sure I wanted to dothe kid thing,” Elaine McSweeneysaid. “My neighbor explained that itwould merely be handing out Christ-mas gifts. That seemed easy enough. Igot to see what a wonderful organiza-tion it is and what friendly, caringpeople are in it. One of the office staff

said, ‘If you think we’re great, waituntil you see our kids.’”

Ms. McSweeney attended a Christ-mas party and was taken aback to see300 children in the room. Almostevery one of them needed a mentor. Iasked myself, ‘What is more impor-tant than rescuing a child?’ I knew Ihad to do something. We’re retiredand have free time. I couldn’t think ofany better thing to do than make achild’s life better.”

Ms. McSweeney started that day.She saw a little girl across the roomand did some crafts with her.

“I love arts and crafts and she lovedarts and crafts,” Ms. McSweeney said.“I told her, ‘You and I are going to begood friends.’”

At the end of the party, I askedabout her and was told she needed amentor. We bonded instantly and Iwanted to give a little joy.”

Ms. McSweeney and the girl weretogether for several years, until shemoved away. Now, she and Jim men-

tor a brother and sister, Taverius andKe’ja, who are 6 and 10.

Networking withother genealogists

One of the best and least usedresource in genealogy isnetworking with other

researchers who working on aresame family. For some reason,genealogists are reluctant tocontact others and ask for informa-tion. There are so many ways ofdoing this. You will make contactwith long lost relatives, find newones, make friends all over theworld, and with email, you have theability of controlling the contact.They won’t be showing up on yourdoorstep unless you invite them.

Over the years, I have metcousins I never knew, or juststrangers researching the samename. Some people I have met inperson, some I have talked with onthe phone and some I just emailfrom time to time. We haveexchanged stories, photos, copiesof Bible records, and get to knowabout each other

The idea is to trade family dataand help each other put the puzzlepieces together. I sometimes goseveral years without hearing fromsomeone, then make contact andfind they have made a discoverythat makes a huge difference in myresearch. I may find something topass on because I know it fits intheir line, but not mine.

There are so many ways offinding these new friends I can onlymention a few in this column, butyou can use your own imagination.

Talk to relatives you alreadyknow, go to family reunions, askabout others in the family that aredoing research. You can contactthe local library, history or genealo-gy society, and ask about anyonethat knows your family line.

In a small town, or with unusualnames, I have even used the phonebook. You would be amazed at theresults I get! Look up the name andcall someone at random. The

worse that can happen is that theywill hang up. Explain that you aredoing family research on theirsurname and ask if they haveanyone in the family that has thefamily history. One lady immedi-ately gave me the name and num-ber of someone writing a book onour family. On another call, thegentleman was so interested, hetold me to call back the next dayThe next night they read me all thefamily history in their Bible. Irecently sat at the kitchen tablewhile the wife cooked dinner andher husband called the neighbors,asking questions about my family

The Internet is a wonderful placeto pick up fellow researchers. Thereare so many sites where you canput your own queries as well as findqueries from others that may be ofhelp. Genealogists love to helpeach other, and will often refer youto someone else if they can’t helpyou. Almost anywhere youresearch, you are going to findnames and addresses or phonenumbers of someone else workingon that same surname. You may beable to help each other, or you maynot, but you will never know untilyou make contact. Even if you can’tconnect at the moment, somedayone of you may get a break that canhelp the other

Researching alone is like workingin a vacuum. The more you sharewith others, the more you willreceive.

MICCO — In a little communityjust north of the Indian River-Bre-vard county line, in a quiet, unas-suming storefront, lies a charmingeatery with one of the best menusaround.

The Red Rooster Café in Miccospecializes in intimate dining expe-riences with top-notch quality serv-ice and excellent food.

For both lunch and dinner, theRed Rooster menu is carefully pre-pared and exquisitely served. Thearray of choices is certain to whetthe appetite of dainty and heartyeaters alike.

At lunch, sandwich options rulethe roost; the jealous steer is a hotroast beef sandwich with Wisconsincheddar cheese and caramelizedonions. The weathervane is thecatch of the day prepared grilled,blackened or batter-fried. The crab-by chicken is an intriguing twist ona traditional BLT with the additionof a grilled chicken breast and acrab cake. The chicken feed ischicken breast salad mixed withpecans and apples and the list goeson.

Soups and salads are served atboth mealtimes.

The restaurant’s signature soup isa thick and creamy crab bisque. Therose-colored soup, made of crabmeat in a rich sherry cream, wasserved in a petite china soup bowland a butterfly-shaped crackeraccompanied it.

The traditional spinach salad hasearned some acclaim because ofthe taste of the topping of warmbacon dressing.

The dinner menu reads as deli-cious as the food itself.

The most popular entrée on themenu is the braised pork loin, awhole boned pork loin finishedwith the chef’s special pork sauce,complimented by smashed redpotatoes and a vegetable medley.

Red Rooster Café, owned by Steveand Joti Hahn, has been in businessfor five years. Mr. Hahn, the chef,was also instrumental in the earlysuccess of the Yellow Dog Café in

Malabar.The name of the restaurant

comes from the German translationof their last name, Mrs. Hahn said.

“In German, hahn means roos-ter,” she said.

Keeping customers happy andsatisfied is of great importance tothe Hahns. When certain specialitems rotate onto the menu, regularcustomers can receive a notifica-tion that their favorite dish is back,Mrs. Hahn said.

“We have a very big list,” she said.One of the specials is sesame-

encrusted chicken with stir fry veg-

etables and teriyaki sauce drizzledwith a wasabi crème.

When served, the plate is colorfuland appetizing and the aroma waft-ing from the plate is delicious andmouth-watering.

With carrots, avocados, onions,broccoli and other vegetables, therichness of the meal also has ahealthy side.

Chicken lovers gravitate to thechicken Oscar, a grilled bonelesschicken breast topped with a crabcake, asparagus spears and finishedin a delicate hollandaise sauce. Thedish is also accompanied by pota-

September 2012 FOREVER YOUNG

The quota for Jews had been filled forthe year, and my grandparents had to goto Montreal and wait until the quotasopened up. My grandmother waspregnant with twins, my aunt and uncle,and it was hard to find a landlord willingto rent to them. My aunt and uncle wereborn in Montreal and eventually, the nextyear, my grandparents were able to cometo the United States. They settled in theBronx, New York, where other familymembers and friends from Pilover hadalready settled.

When the play “Fiddler on the Roof,”came out, my mother and aunt wanted totake my grandmother. She said she didn’tneed to see it because she had lived it.

For me, the courage that let them leavetheir home behind made my veryexistence possible. Those relatives whostayed behind in Europe, including thegreat-aunt for whom I am named, werekilled by the Nazis. My grandmotherwould show me pictures and when she’dpoint to a cousin, she’d say, “Hitler killed

him.” It was personal to her. I am verygrateful that she told me these stories.

Today, story-telling is still an importantway to preserve memories, but it is not theonly way. We have computers where wecan share photos in real time and scrap-books to preserve memorabilia. We cankeep up with family and friends with aclick. It has brought family and friendsand, indeed, the world, closer.

Sometimes family is not close at hand.Many grandparents only see theirgrandchildren during short trips. Formany of them, working with local youngpeople is a way to be a surrogate grand-parent, sharing your life and experienceswith a child.

At the other extreme, Florida hasgrowing numbers of grandparents whoare raising grandchildren. This is a trendthroughout the United States and meansthat for many grandparents, retirementmeans soccer games, teacher conferencesand teen angst.

We hope you enjoy this issue of ForeverYoung.As always,we welcome yourcomments at [email protected].

MemoriesFrom page 2

Grandpa, what did you dowhen you were young?

It is a strange and bizarre notionto think of the world’s first rock ‘nroll generation as grandparents. Aseveryone knows, grandparents aresupposed to be the straightest, mostsolid members of any family and notex-hippies, flower children, acidheads or revolutionaries.

And yet here we are, taking ourturn as Gamma or Gramps. I don’tknow how it happened so fast. Itseems only yesterday I was living ina commune high up in the Califor-nia Sierras. I take some solace in thefact that Mick Jagger, Paul McCart-ney and Bob Dylan are also allgrandparents.

That is a very strange concept.Like all grandparents, our main job

is to spoil our grandchildren and wedo that very well. Undermining oursons and daughters disciplinarymeasures is also a given. How canwe be hard on any young personwhen we were the generation thatinvented the rebellious youth?

None of us have forgotten ourown youthful indiscretions. Whatev-er our grandkids can do, we havealready done it, and in spades. WhenI was a lad, I liked for my own

sey Mike’s and then to the park toeat.”

Ms. Cooney’s six grandchildrenlive in Connecticut and she does-n’t get to see them as often as shelikes. Spending time with Chelseaover the past few years has helped.

“I think being around youngpeople keeps you active,” she said. “We went fishing at the pier. Inever would have put a shrimp ora worm on a hook. She’s gotten meto do some things.”

Ms. Cooney hasn’t seen Chelseaas much as she’d like in the lastfew months because the youngsteris in the band and involved withschool. Ms. Cooney also broke herarm, which has limited her mobili-ty.

“She called me to find out how Iwas doing,” Ms. Cooney said. “Iwill be in touch with her again in

August, when I return from Con-necticut. I’ve missed her. Sheknows I am here for her. Some-times they need someone to talkto. It’s nice to listen to what theyhave to say. It helps them makedecisions.

“I like helping Youth Guidancebecause there’s always a child thatneeds something, even if it’s read-ing a story. I would like to haveChelsea and then another child 5or 6 to do things together. It’s awonderful program.”

It’s clear that Chelsea means agreat deal to Ms. Cooney. She hasmade Memory Books for each ofher grandchildren, a keepsake oftheir lives. She’s also made one forChelsea, the grandchild of herheart.

“We take them on boat rides and tothe Environmental Learning Center,”Ms. McSweeney said. “We made a gingerbread house forChristmas, but it fell apart in fiveminutes. We all laughed. We go to a lotof plays and movies.”

Ms. McSweeney became involvedin the program after his wife took himto a Christmas party. He mentored anolder boy who loved to read and theyspent time at the library. When hemoved away, the McSweeneys decid-ed to work together with the two sib-lings.

“It works out beautifully,” ElaineMcSweeney said. “We do thingstogether and Jim takes them to karate.We have memberships at the museum,McKee Botanical Gardens and theEnvironmental Learning Center, so wetake them. It’s an opportunity to dothings they might not get to do.”

The organization does not want

mentors to spend a lot of money onoutings, which is why the McSweeneystake the kids to places where they havememberships. Ms. McSweeney saidthey had just as much fun gluing beadsto inexpensive wooden frames asMother’s Day gifts. She and Ke’ja alsoenjoy making earrings and bracelets.

When the couple goes north for thesummer, they stay in touch with thekids. They phone and write. They alsomade a donation so the children couldgo to summer camp.

For Jim McSweeney, it’s about givingthanks and giving back. He’s gratefulfor his own family and the good life he’shad. He hopes others will feel thesame.

“A lot of people in Florida have thetime and resources,” he said. “Thereare plenty of those kinds of people.”

There are also plenty of childrenwaiting.

In spite of so muchencouraging news frommedical science, many of us

may be underestimating our bodyand brain potential as we age.What follows are a few examplesof men and women who bring reallife inspiration to what medicalscience teaches us.

Eula Weaver, frail and on adozen medications, suffered aheart attack in the doctor’s officeat the age of 77. Her physician,standing by her bedside justbefore her release from thehospital, said, “Eula, you have achoice: you can go home, go tobed and have someone feed youwith a spoon, or you can startwalking.” She chose the latter, butcame close to quitting because thepoor circulation in her legs causedexcruciating pain when shewalked only a few steps. With theencouragement of a son, and theguidance of a nutritionist, NathanPritikin, she changed her eatinghabits, and kept walking. It took18 months before she could jogjust one lap – about 400 meters –around the local high school track.She continued to improve,

eventually jogging to the track,running a mile, and then jogginghome. At the age of 85, sheentered the Senior Olympics andearned gold in the 800 and 1500meter runs. Five years, and a fewgold medals later, a San Diegonewspaper article heading read,“Eula Weaver Hangs UpCompetitive Racing Shoes at 90.”

At the age of 67, WilliamWhite’s treadmill stress test wasstopped after just 80 seconds. theheart monitor revealed apotentially deadly rhythm. Hestarted walking, and this evolvedinto jogging. he ran 10K races inhis 70s, and in his 80s played icehockey (lied about his age to geton the team), and added bungeejumping and sky-diving to hisactivities. In his mid-80s, boredwith jogging and still on his heart

meds, he was running the steps atHorton Plaza in San Diego – asmany as 2,200 steps in a workout!

Seventy year old MarillaSalisbury’s arthritis was so badthat she couldn’t bend down to tieher shoes. She gave up drivingbecause she could barely turn herhead left to right. For her entirelife, except for some lightgardening, Marilla had neverparticipated in physical activities.She started running at the age of71, and competed in the SeniorOlympics at age 72, setting worldrecords for her age group in the100 and 10,000 meter events. Atthe age of 75, Marilla was stillrunning 35 to 40 miles per week.

Mavis Lindgren, at age 61, hada history of lung problems. At onepoint she contracted tuberculosis;over the years she had many boutsof pneumonia, and seemed to have

no resistance to cold viruses. Bythe age of 72 she had run a dozenmarathons. She holds theMarathon record for women intheir 90s.

Noel Johnson suffered a severeheart attack in his mid 60s, andwas expected to live only a fewmore months. Though depressedand overweight, he was stillhanging around at the age of 69.Fed up with the way he wasfeeling, and fueled by his son’scomment that he soon would nolonger be able to care for himself,he got off the couch, and startedexercising and eating healthy.During the 8th and 9th decade ofhis life, he competed in countlessmarathons, and even finished thegrueling Pike’s Peak Marathon.

These lives indeed are aninspiration, and a testimony to thetremendous recovery potential thatGod has built into our bodies. Isyour lifestyle enabling you tocapture your brain and bodyperformance, and longevitypotential?

grandpa to tell the stories of hisyouth. He had been no angel and wasknown around Chicago as a champi-on street fighter and was also a crackpool shot. He would mesmerize mewith tales of being locked into a cattlestall at the stockyards to fight somechallenger or of playing pool againstthe great Willie Mosconi.

I have lots of stories to tell my owngrandchildren but I’m not sure I’mprepared to do that. I can tell aboutliving in the commune if I leave outpertinent information. I can evenrelate the tales of my lying aroundSan Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury Parkif I edit it properly.

I know! I can tell about the time Ihad to pay triple price for Steppen-wolf tickets from a street scalper. Howpainful was that? It seems there wasalways a lot of hemp involved inthose tales. The story of how I chose alesser concert over going to Wood-stock might be a good one. That wasvery traumatic at the time.

Lots of the stories I could tell arenot very happy. I was at Kent State theday the inexperienced young OhioNational Guard troops opened fire onthe student protestors. All of usremember where we were whenPresident Kennedy was shot and thesame for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.There was that landing on the moon.That was a good thing. Not so muchthe day the Challenger exploded.

As we grow older, we all try todisguise our wilder days. Some do itbetter than others. Those of us whotook part in the counterculturerevolution are hard to spot thesedays, but we are still here. No doubtabout it, we were a different genera-tion and now we are a different kindof grandparent. Not all good; not allbad, just different. Like the grandpar-ents before us, we take joy in thelaughter of a child or the sharing of abowl of ice cream. My own grand-daughter Delayna is now 9 years old. Isure do have lots of stories I could tellher, but maybe not. It would probablybe safer to read her some of myfavorite books. I liked “Catch-22” or“One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.”Yeah, you’re right, that does not seemexactly appropriate, either. Oh, well,I‘ll probably just take her fishing.
