COVER MODEL Tim Sparks As a young man in Kansas City, KS, Tim Sparks modeled for an agency that managed the ads for Macy’s and Hallmark. Then, life pulled him in different directions and he travelled extensively, his modeling career a part of his past. He moved to the Cocoa Beach area in the 90s, to be near his family and the real estate broker joined his sister’s agency. He belongs to a private group that meets for outdoor workouts at 5:30 each morning, regardless of the weather. He said, “You only live once in this realm. I like to have a good time.” When his friend Nicole Sterling asked him, “out of the blue,” to model for the 2016 Boomer Guide, Sparks said, “Why not? It could be fun.”

Artist makes travel experiences

moment by keeping things simple: Only short phrases or quips accompany the drawings.

And, travel journaling can also be about places experienced in one’s own backyard.

By Wendy Scheuring Imagine hiking through dew-lined woods, sipping a bold espresso in a busy sidewalk café, or sitting in a quiet church pew contemplating a stained glass window. Local artist and Suntree resident Diana Gessler teaches others that moments like these can be remembered through the art of travel journaling.

“It could be as simple as going outside and looking at a flower just because it delights you,” Gessler said.

Even the artists’ tools are simple, easy to use, and are kept within a moment’s reach. Gessler recommends Micropens and Sakura watercolors, which she packages into a simple kit that can be kept in a purse or a small folder.

“A spur of the moment type of art.

Somebody once said, ‘if you have your journal with you, you will always have Gessler began drawing her own something to work in.’ You can flip observations and penning her thoughts back and finish something, going back in her personal travel journals nearly 40 and refreshing just because it gives you years ago, a time when such an art was pleasure,” Gessler said. unknown to most. Today, it has grown In 1999, after two decades of doing in popularity.

“What I teach in my classes is that journaling is for you and, yes, it doesn’t have to be perfect. It’s really about capturing the moment,” said Gessler, a watercolor and oil artist who has been represented by Shaw Gallery in Naples for 26 years. “That is what is freeing for my students.”

The simplicity of travel journaling also makes it appealing.

“Say you are looking at a building but you don’t have time to draw the entire thing. What moves you? Is it the windows? The geraniums in the window? You might only have time to draw one geranium,” Gessler said.

Students are encouraged to draw whatever captivates them. The object is not to rush, but to take in as much as they can in as little as three to five minutes. The key is to capture the

her own travel journaling, Gessler was asked by Algonquin Books to create travel guides based on the style of her journals. She did a series of four books, the first of which was Very California.

These guides led to a decade of commissioned work by an Indonesian family on their business and family history.

Yet, whether the recording of experiences is published in books or penned in personal journals, using Gessler’s method of artistic style certainly brings joy and delight to the soul.

“If you see my students drawing in their journals, they will have a smile on their faces. People gather around and are happy watching them doing what they do.”

2016 Boomer Guide Models The faces you see in the 2016 Boomer Guide belong to your neighbors. They are business people, retirees, parents, grandparents, friends, and volunteers from Brevard County. What sets them apart is their willingness to take a risk “to go for it,” whatever it may be.

The amazing photos you see were taken by our photographers who know how to bring out the inner star with a natural ease and unsurpassed professionalism. Many models have attributed their enjoyable experiences to how they made them feel comfortable with the camera, lights, and posing that looks and feels natural.

All our models have expressed how much fun they had at our unique locations. This year, Boomer Guide focused on a feeling, rather than an era. Forever Young at Heart and Embracing the Beach Lifestyle were our dominant themes for 2016. After all, we live in one of the most beautiful Florida cultures on the East Coast!

If you would like to be considered as a model in the 2017 Boomer Guide, call 321-242-1235.

These ladies have their

heads in the clouds

Some people like to keep their feet firmly planted on the ground, but not these women. They are all members of The Spaceport 99s, a local chapter of The International Organization of Women Pilots, “the Ninety-Nines.” They all love to fly, yet their careers as pilots have taken each woman into the “wild blue yonder” in uniquely different ways.

Jane O’Connell Jane O’Connell started flying balloons in 1978. She and her husband, both antique car collectors, had been invited to Jackie Gleason’s Inverness complex.

“We heard there was a balloon there, but it was a windy day and the pilot took it down before we could see it. We were disappointed until the winds died down and he flew. My husband and I were holding hands and at the same time, we said, ‘I’ve got to do that!’ Ballooning was very rare at that time. It took us a year to find the pilot so we could take lessons from him.”

O’Connell said the most strenuous part is managing the balloon on the ground.

“My balloon, gondola, propane, envelope all weigh 800 pounds.”

The 82-year-old widow said she’s not interested in wrestling that much weight any longer.

Her husband had been a notary public and they were both commercial balloonists, so they often performed

weddings in their balloon, Irish Mist. The couple recited vows while the balloon was tethered to the ground, then they took off to land where the wind currents took them.

“The rest of the wedding party followed on the ground and we had a reception when we landed,” she said.

The retired balloonist said ballooning was an awesome When her husband was moved to experience for her. “We got to meet so many adventuresome people. Even today, a hospice facility, in Tavares, Fla., people have to be adventuresome to take O’Connell noticed a mural of hot air balloons on the wall outside his a balloon ride.

“The best part was the awesome beauty of being in the sky with the Lord,” she said.

“Flying in Albuquerque was awesome,” “You are at the mercy of the wind, created O’Connell said. “Today they limit the

Mary Anne Demmer Mary Anne Demmer got her pilot’s license in 1992 after her husband, who was a pilot, let her navigate on a flight back from the Bahamas.

“It seemed so easy,” she said. “I started lessons that weren’t so easy in 1988. I’m 72 and am still flying, with a few stops

and starts due to health problems.”

Demmer said her most exciting experience as a pilot came in December 1991.

“I flew alongside the 747 that carried the shuttle Atlantis back to the Space

Center. They were flying slowly from the south over the ocean and I was out practicing turns. I was about 2,000 feet away from them and just kept doing turns so I could see them and not get in their way. This inspired me to keep flying and finally get my pilot’s license the following year.”

Love to Cruise?

Expect Big Things at Port Canaveral in 2016

Royal Caribbean Oasis of the Seas

By Katie Parsons One of the biggest advantages to living in Florida is the access to travel options, and often for a fraction of the cost. The cruise industry has had a big presence in Florida for decades, but expect it to grow even more rapidly in the coming year, spurred by growth at Port Canaveral.

consultant with Go Travel in Suntree, said. She cites location and Port Canaveral’s distinction as a port of call as two reasons it is seeing such a surge in ships and popularity.

Perhaps the biggest news happening at Port Canaveral in 2016 involves the arrival of two of the world’s largest cruise ships — Norwegian Cruise Line’s Epic, one of the line’s newest and largest ships, arrives at Port Canaveral in November and will spend the winter season on the Space Coast.

In fact, cruising worldwide is seeing a Renaissance of sorts, with Cruise Lines International Association reporting that 15 new cruise ships are expected to be added in 2016, increasing global cruising capacity by 8.1 percent. Florida stands “Epic recently underwent a very to benefit from this increase in interest – extensive, multi-million dollar dry and more specifically, Port Canaveral. dock to receive enhancements from bow to stern. So she will arrive in Port In October 2015, Cruise Critic named Canaveral as quite a new ship with Port Canaveral the Best North American really exciting new entertainment Homeport, calling it the “most up-andofferings, something our guests love coming cruise hub.” Port Canaveral and an industry trend, ” Vanessa officials report that it will grow by 50 Picariello, senior director of public percent in the next four years from relations at Norwegian, said. serving 4.2 million cruise passengers to 6 million passengers annually.

With new ships coming in, and new schedules and locations, 2016 will be one of the best years in recent memory for those who live on the Space Coast and love to cruise.

“Florida is the cruising capital of the world and Port Canaveral is really gaining momentum,” Patty Toppa, local

Epic will offer Eastern and Western Caribbean cruise options and make stops in locations like Grand Cayman, Ocho Rios, British Virgin Islands and St. Thomas.

The biggest cruise ship ever based at Port Canaveral, Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas, will arrive around the same time as the Epic. The Oasis is actually

the largest cruise ship in the world — tied in capacity and size with its sister ship, Allure of the Seas.

When Oasis and Epic arrive, the number of cruise ships calling Port Canaveral home will rise to 10.

For those looking to cruise in 2016, Toppa says there are a variety of opportunities.

“The best time for cruising as far as price is anytime that kids are in school.

People who are retired with flexible schedules can take advantage of going during this low season times and save,” Toppa said.

As for thoughts on Port Canaveral itself, Toppa says the increase in ships and activity only stand to benefit local residents.

“This port is one to be reckoned with.

It’s quickly becoming the number one destination for people who love to cruise,” she said.

World’s most famous astronaut

now calls Brevard home

Astronaut Michael Collins UrbanBuzz / orbited the Shutterstock moon in the Apollo command module while Armstrong and Aldrin set up experiments and collected lunar material.

The two astronauts spent a day on the moon before lifting off and rejoining Collins for the return trip to Earth.

Dr. Buzz Aldrin pictured with Dr. T. Dwayne McCay, incoming president of Florida Institute of Technology.

By Mike Gaffey He’s Brevard’s real life Major Nelson to Barbara Eden’s Jeannie.

Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin was the second man to walk on the moon. Now he’s got an even bigger goal — to create a plan to colonize Mars by 2040.

“I am proud of my time at NASA with the Gemini 12 and Apollo 11 programs but I hope to be remembered more for my contributions to the future. FIT will play a key role in my ongoing legacy and Cycling Pathways to Occupy Mars.”

T. Dwyane McCay, FIT’s executive vice president and incoming president to replace the retiring Anthony Catanese, said the university is happy to have Aldrin as a faculty member.

Aldrin, 85, signed a deal to teach at the Florida Institute of Technology and to establish the Buzz Aldrin Space Institute. The new institute will promote “Our entire learning community will a settlement on the red planet. Aldrin will benefit from his presence,” said McCay. serve as a research professor of aeronautics FIT’s largest major is mechanical and as well as a senior faculty adviser. aerospace engineering, so Aldrin’s addition is expected to generate Aldrin’s concept, called Cycling tremendous student interest.

Pathways to Occupy Mars, would secure commercial and international help to Aldrin and Neil Armstrong made support progressive space missions — history on July 20, 1969 when their including visits to an asteroid and Mars’ lunar module Eagle touched down moons — that would lead eventually to on the moon. Armstrong was the first a Mars landing. man to set foot on the lunar surface, declaring, “That’s one small step for a Aldrin hopes to have a settlement on man, one giant leap for mankind” as an Mars by 2039, the 70th anniversary of estimated 600 million people watched the Apollo 11 moon landing. on television. Aldrin, the lunar module “I’m thrilled to be partnering with FIT in pilot, followed 12 minutes, saying my new home state of Florida,” said Aldrin, “Magnificent desolation” as he stepped who recently settled in Satellite Beach. off the lunar module footpad.

Apollo 11 launched from Kennedy Space Center, about 40 miles north of FIT. Aldrin has a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y., and a doctorate of science degree in astronautics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

He was selected as part of the third group of NASA astronauts in 1963. In 1966, Aldrin flew with astronaut Jim Lovell aboard Gemini 12, the last Gemini mission.

Aldrin set a record for spacewalking during the mission, spending nearly six hours outside the spacecraft.

Aldrin, born Edwin Eugene Aldrin in 1930, had his first name legally changed to his nickname, Buzz, in 1986.

Aldrin visited Kennedy Space Center July 18 to mark the 46th anniversary of the moon landing and re-launch his notfor-profit ShareSpace Foundation, which aims to get children interested in science, technology, engineering, math and art.

Actors John Travolta and Seth Green joined Aldrin at the gala event.

FIT is a private doctoral/research university with more than 4,600 oncampus students. The university has five academic divisions that emphasize science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

Notable FIT alumni include astronauts Sunita Williams, Kathryn Hire, Joan Higginbotham and George Zamka.

‘ popularity remains Jeannie’s

m

agical through the years

By Mike Gaffey Fifty years ago this past fall, actress Barbara Eden emerged in a puff of smoke from a bottle and helped turn the quiet oceanfront town of Cocoa Beach into a pop-culture landmark. So it was the perfect time for her to visit the Space Coast.

Eden, 84, rose to fame as a mischievous, 2,000-year-old genie freed by stranded astronaut Larry Hagman in the NBC television sitcom “I Dream of Jeannie,” which premiered on Sept. 18, 1965. Set in Cocoa Beach but filmed in California, the hit show ran for five years and 139 episodes, and has been airing on cable and in syndication in the U.S. and abroad for decades.

“It’s never been off the air,” Eden said of the show in an interview with Senior Life from her Beverly Hills, Calif. home. “I just got back from Ireland and I was shocked that people knew me there. I get fan mail from all over the world, but I never really received any from Ireland. But they know Jeannie.”

A Tucson, Ariz., native and former Miss San Francisco, Eden had made numerous film and television appearances — including one as Elvis Presley’s leading lady in the 1960 movie “Flaming Star” — when producer Sidney Sheldon, later a hugely successful novelist, cast her as Jeannie.

Sheldon, looking for a show to compete against rival network ABC’s successful supernatural comedy “Bewitched,” had seen Eden in the 1964 film “The Brass Bottle,” which starred Burl Ives as a genie, and came up with the idea for a female genie.

In the show, Hagman played Air Force Captain — later Major — Tony Nelson, an astronaut who wound up on a desert island after his space flight was aborted. He found a bottle on the beach and unwittingly released blonde-haired Jeannie who fell in love with him and used her powers of granting his every wish to have him rescued by helicopter.

She re-entered her bottle, stowed away in Nelson’s gear during the rescue and returned with him to Cocoa Beach.

The pair lived at the fictional address of 1020 Palm Drive. Only Nelson’s friend and fellow astronaut, Army Maj. Roger Healy, played by Bill Daley, knew that Jeannie was a genie.

| Boomer Guide 2016

Jeannie’s playful antics in her desire to please her master and Nelson’s fear of being dismissed from the astronaut corps aroused the suspicions of Air Force Col. Alfred Bellows, a NASA psychiatrist played by Hayden Rorke.

Bellows was sure that Nelson was either crazy or hiding something, but was never able to prove anything to his superiors.

The show made numerous references to Cocoa Beach, once mentioning Bernard’s Surf, a now-closed restaurant that was a favorite hangout of space workers and astronauts.

Mountain-dotted exterior shots filmed at Edwards Air Force Base in California substituted for landmarks at Kennedy Space Center and Patrick Air Force Base.

Eden visited Cocoa Beach twice in 1969: once just before the launch of Apollo 11 and a second time with Hagman to publicize an episode in which Nelson married Jeannie.

During her first visit, Eden stopped by a motel where reporters were interviewing Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin, who was just days away from becoming the second man to walk on the moon.

“Buzz walked out and just scooped me up in his arms, and he still had his flight suit and all his equipment on,” Eden said with a laugh. “It was fun and the press had a field day.”

Eden also took part in a launch at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, pressing a button at Complex 43 that fired a weather rocket into space.

“That was very exciting,” Eden said. “In fact, they sent me (a replica of ) the weather rocket and I kept it in my back yard for a long time. Larry was very jealous. He wanted that rocket.”

Eden’s next visit to Cocoa Beach came in 1996, when the city created a special “Jeannie Day” and renamed Primrose Avenue at Lori Wilson Park “I Dream of Jeannie Lane.” A historical marker commemorating the show was added at the site in 2012.

Eden toured a space shuttle during her 1996 visit. “They allowed me to put on the boots and the coveralls and go right into the capsule itself, and that was awe-inspiring, just wonderful,” she said.

Jeannie Days returned in 2004, 2005 and 2009, although Eden was unable to attend. Events included Jeannie lookalike contests and raffles.

Eden visited Cocoa Beach on Oct. 25 to officiate the awards presentation of the inaugural Ron Jon Cocoa Beach Half Marathon that morning. That night, Eden presented her show “On the Magic Carpet with Barbara Eden” at the Scott Center at Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy Upper School in Suntree.

“The people of Cocoa Beach have always been so gracious and welcoming to me,” Eden said in advance of her visit.

“Even though we never actually filmed the show there, we have spent a lot of time on the Space Coast. It seems like a second home to me, and I am very excited to go back there and see so many familiar and friendly faces.”

Today, nods to the show can still be seen around Cocoa Beach. “I Dream of Yogurt” at 4295 N. Atlantic Ave. offers frozen treats to beachgoers. Runners dressed up like Jeannie at the Oct. 25 run and were awarded medals shaped like Jeannie’s famous bottle.

Eden, whose 2011 memoir Jeannie Out of the Bottle became a New York Times bestseller, is thankful for the show’s enduring popularity.

GENEALOGY & HISTORY Check with your librarian.

The Titusville Public Library and the Melbourne Public Library have genealogy rooms staffed by volunteers from the local genealogy societies at specific times. The Central Brevard Library and Reference Center has the largest collection of references, begun in 1989, when the Brevard Genealogical Society received a room at the library in which to house their materials. The collection grew tremendously in 2002, when Eastern Florida State College, at that time called Brevard Community College, passed its entire genealogy collection to Central Brevard Library. The library is staffed full time with a certified genealogist available for consultation.

SENIOR LIVING TOUR SEARCH FOR YOUR HOME ON THIS SENIOR LIVING TOUR

72 miles of Paradise

Do you have all the special friends and family members surrounding you that you would like to have? Why not send your folks from the North a copy of the 2016 Boomer Guide as a subtle hint that it’s time to move to Florida and get started living right.

Living right means choosing a place to live that is low or no maintenance. It’s time to let others mow the grass and clear plugged toilets.

SPACE CENTER

Why not be proactive and nurture relationships with new neighbors who are on the same carefree page in life as you? Many boomer-senior communities have great activities both in common rooms and as organized day-trips — with or without martinis along the way, a designated driver at the wheel, of course.

Many carefree communities are located on golf courses or other recreationally-themed grounds. If you have a special interest, there is a carefree community for you.

FORCE BASE

The Space Coast is the perfect place to enjoy what used to be our Golden Years. These days, boomers have no interest in going quietly into their retirement years, and don’t call them senior citizens, even if they have reached the magical Medicare age.

To keep our bodies healthy and functional through our last vibrant breath, more doctors, specialists, surgeons and other healthcare providers set up shop each year to target mature lifestyles. The Space Coast has the best medical community in existence, many providing services within the walls of carefree communities, with a plan for aging in place so you never have to relocate again.

BREVARD IS GOOD FOR HIKES

New Map to highlight best

By George White There are environmental gems accessible through hikes throughout Brevard County, including a “rail trail” being built in Titusville.

We start with walking and bicycling but here tourism is so important that we always want to also include our tourist destinations and waterways,’’ she said.

The problem is finding them.

Bids are out with the goal is to have it up by late 2016.

To help that situation, county officials are developing the Pathways Program which will result in an interactive online map by the end of 2016.

“Most people don’t think we have much. It’s not that it’s not there, you just can’t find it. It’s very spread out.

People only know what’s in their own back yard,’’ said Leigh Holt, Multi-modal program manager for the Space Coast Transportation Planning Organization.

“The exciting thing is the desire to have this, the number of people who are excited for this to happen, and the different ways people think it will be used,’’ she said.

Cruickshank Sanctuary

The overall goal of Pathways is to promote physical activity while encouraging non-motorized transportation, she said.

The effort began with mapping all the sidewalks and gaps and existing and proposed bike trails. Officials also gathered information from all the cities and Brevard County, including officials with the Environmentally Endangered Lands program, she said.

“The Pathways project is about offering alternative modes of transportation.

“We spent a lot time gathering information about what people would

• Coconut Point Sanctuary, Melbourne Beach 1-mile loop traverses six different habitats.

• Enchanted Forest Sanctuary, Titusville Several miles of hiking trails through five basic habitat types.

• Erna Nixon Park, Melbourne A half-mile of elevated boardwalk.

• Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, Titusville The 5-mile Cruickshank Trail loop, the 2-mile Palm Hammock Trail, the 0.7-mile Oak Hammock Trail and the a 0.4-mile boardwalk at the visitor’s center.

The rail trail in Titusville will be part of a 44-mile continuous trail heading north from Brevard County and will be part of a network of connecting trails, she said.

“We’re going to have some really amazing opportunities. We’re going to have a trail where you can see a space center, a wildlife refuge and a zoo and they’ll be able to go right Pineda all the way out to the beach,’’ Holt said.

• Pine Island Conservation Area, Merritt Island 2.5 miles of trails in the North and South Loops along the Indian River Lagoon.

• Maritime Hammock Sanctuary, Melbourne Beach A 2.5-mile loop. along the Indian River Lagoon.(bullet) Malabar Scrub Sanctuary, Malabar—trai system showing wetland and upland habitats.

But that’s how she met fellow pug owners Becky and George Hinton, who bonded over shared love for the dogs

Passion for pugs prompts birth of rescue group

On the quilt trail in rural America

BY CARL KOTALA Dolly Konwinski loves to talk baseball.

And on Feb. 5, at the 7th Inning Stretch Senior Expo at Space Coast Stadium, you can talk to the 84-year-old who played in the All American Girls Professional Baseball League that inspired the 1992 movie, “A League of Their Own.” She hopes to connect with boomers and seniors, whether they were fans of the movie or young fans in the stands. Held annually at destination locations around Brevard, the Senior Life expo marks the release of the 2016 Boomer Guide.

“I hope people bring their cameras,” Konwinski said.

“We’ll have fun.”

Konwinski played in the AAGPBL from 1949 to 1952 under her maiden name, Dolly Niemiec, with the majority of her career spent playing second and third base for the Grand Rapids Chicks.
