Would you like to experience the benefits of Dental Implants? Improved appearance. Dental implants look and feel like your own teeth. And because they are designed to fuse with bone, they become permanent.

Improved speech. With poor-fitting dentures, the teeth can slip within the mouth causing you to mumble or slur your words. Dental implants allow you to speak without the worry that your teeth might slip. Improved comfort. Because they become part of you, implants eliminate the discomfort of removable dentures.

Easier eating. Sliding dentures can make chewing difficult. Dental implants function like your own teeth, allowing you to eat your favorite foods with confidence and without pain. Improved self-esteem. Dental implants can give you back your smile and help you feel better about yourself.

Improved oral health. Dental implants don’t require reducing other teeth, as a tooth-supported bridge does. Because nearby teeth are not altered to support the implant, more of your own teeth are left intact, improving your long-term oral health. Individual implants also allow easier access between teeth, improving oral hygiene. Implant don’t get cavities and never need a root canal.

Durability. Implants are very durable and will last many years. With good care, many implants last a lifetime. <M Maari rily lyyn befo beefo foree, aagge 6 fore 68 8 See Se ee my sto t ryy at Exxce E xce cep pttio i na nalD Den e tiist stry ryy.ccom om

Dental implants eliminate the embarrassing inconvenience of removing your dentures, as well as the need for messy adhesives to keep your dentures in place.

BIRTHDAYS œ July 2019

Olivia de Havilland JULY 1, 1916 Olivia de Havilland is the oldest living actor who has won an Academy Award and one of the last actresses from the Golden Age of Hollywood. Born to British parents in Japan, de Havilland made her film debut in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” She went on to act in “Gone with the Wind,” “Santa Fe Trail” and “The Adventures of Robin Hood.” She co-starred in eight different films with actor Errol Flynn. De Havilland also made appearances on the Broadway stage and on television. De Havilland is the older sister of actress Joan Fontaine. The two had been rivals since they were young, but tensions reached a peak in 1941 when both sisters were nominated for the “Best Actress” Oscar category. Both siblings have since won numerous awards, and De Havilland enjoys a peaceful retirement in Paris, France. A FEW OTHER NOTABLE

The Average Age of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence

The youngest was Thomas Lynch, Jr. (27 years old) of South Carolina.

The lead author of The Declaration, Thomas Jefferson, was 33 years old.

The oldest delegate was Benjamin Franklin (70 years old) of Pennsylvania.

Only two signers of the Declaration later served as President – John Adams and Thomas Jefferson.

The initial date the resolution of independence was approved in a closed session of Congress was July 2, 1776. The next day, John Adams remarked in a letter to his wife Abigail: “The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty.” *Congress revised the Declaration for final approval on July 4, 1776.

50 Years Later Both John Adams and Thomas Jefferson (bitter rivals) died on the same day, July 4, 1826, the 50th anniversary of the Declaration. seniortimesmagazine.com

FACT OR FICTION?

Betsy Ross Behind the Creation of the American Flag

by Bianca Favata

istory textbooks describe the indelible mark Betsy Ross made on the foundation of our nation for sewing the very first American flag. It was the thread that stitched our country together — the flag flies to symbolize everything we fight and stand for. But is it possible that Betsy Ross’ story is merely a myth, a legend told to glamorize the American flag’s birth? According to history.com, Ross was never credited with this honor during her lifetime. The first time the legend came about was nearly 100 years later, told by her grandson. William Canby recounted the story to The Historical Society of Pennsylvania in 1870. Canby said George Washington, Robert Morris and George Ross had visited his grandmother in May/June of 1776. During the visit they showed Betsey Ross a sketch of a flag with 13 red and white stripes and 13 six-pointed stars. They allegedly asked her to create a flag based on the sketch. Canby wrote: “…they announced themselves as a committee of congress, and stated that they had been appointed to prepare a flag, and asked her if she thought she could make one, to which she replied, with her usual modesty and self reliance, that she did not know but she could try; she had never made one but if the pattern were shown to her she

8 July 2019

had no doubt of her ability to do it.” She supposedly made changes, such as arranging the stars in a circle and giving them five points. According to usflag.org, this version of the five-pointed star was not in use until six years later. Canby’s story, also supported by Ross’ daughter, niece and granddaughter, was published in “Harper’s New Monthly Magazine” in 1873. The story gained popularity and now almost every history textbook in America has dedicated a page to retell her legacy. Although no official documentation confirms this, other evidence suggests that Betsy Ross may have had a connection with Washington and Morris because they went to the same church, although no evidence shows direct contact between the two, or that Colonel George Ross favored her since she was his niece-in-law. There is also proof that she had sewn flags, shown by a 1777 receipt for 14 pounds paid by the Pennsylvania State Navy Board for making “ships colours.” She was, indeed, a seamstress. However, according to history.org, historians almost all agree that family oral history is not dependable. Canby had no other evidence except the recount of Ross’ story that she told to many members of her family, on top of the fact that seniortimesmagazine.com

The home of Betsy Ross in Philadelphia still offers daily tours. Her well-known and loved story is tightly woven into the colorful fabric of America’s rich history. G. Liebscher painted the depiction of Ross sewing the flag (shown on opposite page).

Canby was merely 11 when Betsy Ross passed away. According to usflag.org, there is no evidence that a congressional flag committee existed in 1776, in either the Journals of the Continental Congress or the diaries of Washington. Even if the flag committee did exist, Washington wouldn’t have been on it because he wasn’t a member of Congress. Historical evidence also shows no account of flag creation until after the 1777 resolution. There may never be proof of who created the Stars and Stripes. The other possible creator could be Francis Hopkinson, a New Jersey delegate who signed the Declaration of Independence. According to history.com, he helped design seals for various departments in the U.S. government. And in 1780, Hopkinson sought payment from the Board of Admiralty

10 July 2019

for his design of the “flag of the United States of America.” However, his request was denied because “he was not the only one consulted” on the design. Marc Leepson is the author of a popular 2005 history of “Old Glory, Flag: An American Biography.” According to The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, Leepson said he is “hard pressed” to rationalize why Betsy Ross’ story is so well known. “Perhaps there’s something in the American psyche that just looks for heroes and heroines,” he said. “Then again maybe it’s just like the way things work when you visit patriotic sites in Philadelphia. The Betsy Ross house is on the tour. It’s almost a de rigueur stop as you move along to see Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, and Christ Church. It’s just been woven into the fabric of the story.” seniortimesmagazine.com

Most historians conclude that it’s unlikely that Betsy Ross created the first official United States flag, but American tradition is rooted in this wellloved story. It might have stemmed from the famous painting by Charles H. Weisgerber called “Birth of Our Nations Flag,” which depicts the alleged meeting of the committee of Congress with Betsy Ross, made from pictures of her granddaughters and other descendants. The painting generated great public interest when it was presented in 1893. Soon after, the Betsy Ross house was bought and the Betsy Ross Memorial Association helped publicize her story — and the painting was published in U.S. history textbooks. Whatever one chooses to believe, historical fact or admired fiction, Americans will always have mixed opinions on the controversy. Betsy Ross is more than just the creator of the flag; she is symbolic of freedom and patriotism. She is beloved by many, especially because her story has been taught for generations. Children color drawings of the flag and listen to their teachers talk about the woman who created it. She’s as cherished as Paul Revere or the Boston Tea Party. Although there’s no official evidence that she did create the first U.S. flag, many wish it were true. President Woodrow Wilson, when asked what he thought of the story, said, “Would that it were true!” s

Embracing Life Yankee Doodle Dandy

“Y

ankee Doodle went to town; A-riding on a pony; Stuck a feather in his cap; And called it macaroni.” It had been years since I heard the song, “Yankee Doodle.” When an oldie radio station recently played the nostalgic tune, it immediately triggered sweet thoughts of summer celebrations with cousins. Like most folks from our era, we grew up singing songs and spouting nursery rhymes that are considered controversial today. We did not know it’s meaning, only that we sang it at Uncle Tommy’s annual Fourth of July backyard barbeque. Homesickness and sentimentality swept over my being. I could almost smell the perfectly scorched generic brand hotdogs available all afternoon on his charcoal grill. My mouth watered as I remembered the flavor of our favorite side dish, pork n’ beans, baked with syrup. Aunts brought macaroni or potato salad, made with real mayonnaise. Their scrumptious specialties were served in CorningWare bowls, covered with reused aluminum foil and kept chilled in coolers. By nightfall they were found floating or submerged in cold water. The ice had melted, due the horrid July heat. ‘Back in the day,’ in my hot humid hometown of Miami, air-conditioning was limited. Uncle Tommy’s house had a window unit in his Florida room.

12 July 2019

Adults retreated to that cool oasis. Children stayed outside. Badminton tournaments, playing hide-and-go-seek and dancing in the sprinklers filled our day. We did not wear shoes and drank water from the proverbial garden hose. Plastic bottles, containing Spring Water, were nonexistent. My beloved uncle bought fireworks all year long in anticipation of his annual event. After the sun set, his amazing show began. Neighbors gathered, with their lawn chairs or blankets, and anxiously awaited the annual extravaganza. Unfortunately, the patriotic pyrotechnics began about the same time the invisible obnoxious sand gnats and malicious blood-thirsty mosquitoes made their appearance. By that time, we (the younger generation) were sweaty, sunburned and smelled bad. I can remember being hot, itchy and so incredibly tired. On our way home, a cool breeze blew into the car’s open windows. My siblings and I would fall asleep (without seat belts). After taking a quick bath, Solarcaine and Calamine Lotion were slathered on our skin to reduce redness and deter scratching. We probably fell back to sleep humming another verse of our favorite Independence Day song, “I’m a Yankee Doodle Dandy; A Yankee Doodle, do or die; A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam’s; Born on the Fourth of July.”

In reflection, most of my cherished memories include activities that do not meet today’s standards. The arsenal of explosives and rockets my uncle proudly purchased are now illegal. His neighbors would probably report his possession of prohibited items to law enforcement, rather than enjoy the free show. The unhealthy menu and improper food temperature monitoring would receive criticism. Even our favorite holiday song was filled with mixed messages and meanings. As a parent, I paid closer attention to the implications of seemingly innocent cartoons, jingles and poems. Such is the case with “Yankee Doodle.” The song originated from the British military. The lyrics were written to mock the disorganized colonial American soldiers, or Yankees. Doodle meant fool. Dandy referred to a male excessively devoted to fashion. Hence, Yankee Doodle Dandy was a derogatory reference to the first American soldiers. “Yankee Doodle,” later became an American song of defiance. According to the Library of Congress, after the British surrendered at Yorktown, the song’s meaning changed. Many versions were created, with an estimated additional 120 verses. The tune transformed from one of insult to national pride. Defiance can sometimes lead to freedom. While I am not advocating disobedience of our laws, I believe that common sense should prevail. Seat belts save lives and massive firework displays should be conducted by professionals. However, I refuse to feel guilty for eating a burnt hotdog to celebrate our nation’s independence.

REVOLUTIONARY ROOTS

Daughters of the American Revolution Getting to know the Gainesville Chapter

by Steph Strickland

ay Hall was curious about her ancestry. After seeing her aunt work within a local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), Hall began investigating her own lineage to see if she could find a link. Finding a direct relative to the American Revolution posed a challenge to Hall that she combated with hours of research. Finally, she found her connection: Mr. John Hurst Eight years later, Hall is the newly elected regent of the Gainesville chapter of DAR, a lineage-based service organization with a focus on historic preservation, education and patriotism. Any woman, regardless of race, religion, or ethnic background — who can prove lineal descent from a patriot of the American Revolution, is eligible for membership, according to the DAR website. “We are dedicated to remaining consistent with the objectives of the organization,” Hall said. The Gainesville chapter of DAR is one of 3,000 chapters internationally, and houses 195 of 185,000 total members affiliated with the organization. DAR has a rich history dating back to its

14 July 2019

formation in 1890. During the time of its creation, DAR served as a political outlet for women. Since then, DAR has admitted over 950,000 members and continues to grow today. According to research collected by Janet Messer, former regent and active member of Gainesville DAR, the Gainesville chapter was formed shortly after the national organization was founded in Washington D.C. – just after women had been granted the right to vote. Even with the newfound ability to participate politically, women remained loyal to DAR. In the early 1920s, Roberta Lee Purse Haile felt that the women of Gainesville should be able to participate in DAR. In 1922, Haile became the organizing regent of the Gainesville chapter following her involvement in the Savannah chapter of DAR, prior to moving to Gainesville. Within the first few years from its founding, the Gainesville DAR began awarding scholarships and academic awards. The first scholarship was a 500-dollar student loan fund directed to one of the “worthy students,” of the University of Florida. The first award was a “beautiful gold metal of special deseniortimesmagazine.com

sign,” awarded to the UF student with the highest marks in American History. DAR now gives out thousands of dollars in awards to local students annually and has even started an internship program. During the 1920s and 1930s the local chapter continued its philanthropic ways through programs and volunteer positions that fit with the needs of the era. One notable project that the women of DAR worked on was to help immigrants to the United States. The women would send fabrics and money to the immigrants at Ellis Island. Hall said that DAR has always encouraged the naturalization of citizens and still attends naturalization ceremonies to this day. Gainesville DAR also played a part in the second World War. The women in the organization aided in the Red Cross workroom, folding surgical dresses, sewing dresses and

16 July 2019

knitting sweaters. During this time of need, the members donated more than 9,000 hours of service. From the 1960s on, the chapter focused on growing education by increasing the number of awards and scholarships given to students. These awards were no longer reserved for the men at the University of Florida, they were extended to primary and secondary school students and young girls. Throughout all of the political tides that rocked the United States during the 20th century, DAR and its local chapters remained focused on their mission to promote historic preservation, education and patriotism. “In comparison to older chapters, there are a lot more opportunities for women to become involved in political organizations,” Hall said, “…and our organization is especially focused on philanthropy in our community.” seniortimesmagazine.com

Hall shared her excitement in taking on the role of regent for the Gainesville chapter and its charitable connections. “I was used to volunteering and working with these organizations, but now, being on the other side and organizing everything, I get to see how much we really do collectively,” she said. Hall said one charity she is looking forward to working closely with is K9s for Warriors, a local nonprofit that

works to connect veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder with canines. The organization is one of several nonprofits connected with DAR and has rescued over one thousand dogs.

Hall said the women of DAR usually take this day to thank first responders. DAR also gives out free books to children each spring to promote literacy and education, and they partner with schools in the area to give awards and scholarships to deserving students.

ceremonies, and this is an activity that Hall looks forward to each year. “It’s really special to see how excited these people are to be American citizens,” she said. Dot Hope, former regent and active member of Gainesville DAR, said that there are two charitable activities she is involved in with DAR that lift her spirits: the JROTC awards and the naturalization ceremonies. The JROTC awards are presented annually to deserving students, Dot has the opportunity to present them. “It’s really great to see that there are good young people out there, it’s nice to be reminded of that,” Hope said. Hope added that the naturalization ceremonies are among the most impactful events she is able to attend with DAR. The group will typically attend one or two ceremonies a month – they bring cookies and well-wishes for the new American citizens. “These people go through so much, they just need someone to say, ‘thank you’ and ‘we are proud of you,’” she said. Each regent within DAR selects certain philanthropic endeavors to focus on during their two-year tenure in the position. Hope spent much of her time as regent working with the Historic Haile Homestead and obtaining an official marker inscription dedicating the space a historical landmark. Hope also worked with charities related to raising money for breast cancer. In addition to the charities that Hall will be working with, she will also be focusing on maintaining strong membership in the chapter and increasing involvement from those already in the group. “We always like to retain our members… we really like to see everyone participate,” she said. In addition to local meetings and philanthropic events, Gainesville DAR participates in regional and national conventions to collaborate with other chapters and improve involvement in the organization. “We like to share ideas and see what other chapters are doing and provide support,” Hall said. “We are always well-represented at these events.” According to Hall, Florida is always active with state and national level events. By attending these conventions, members of chapters can cast votes for leaders at each level. Hope said many former regents are then nominated for positions at the state-level, she added that there is always something new to do with DAR. Hall encourages everyone to look into their ancestry, being a member of DAR has helped her find a community within the Gainesville population. “I think everyone should just take a look and see. There may be a connection,” she said. “You never know.” s

he sun rises and sets on our great state over lakes, rivers, springs, gulfs and ocean waters. In Florida we take care of each other, and we take care of the natural beauty that surrounds us, because Florida is more than theme parks and tourist traps. We are people and communities. One local business is working to strengthen that community spirit through a little…SunState Livin’. SunState Federal Credit Union embodies the spirit that is SunState Livin’; it is so much more than just a bank, or just a financial institution. As a not-for-profit organization, the primary focus of a credit union is to provide community members with the best possible products and services, the lowest possible fees, and the best possible rates. Rather than stockholders raking in the cash, the credit union members are the owners who reap the benefits with fewer fees, lower interest rates and higher returns. Unpaid volunteers sit on the SunState Board of Directors, and each member is an equal owner in the organization.

20 July 2019

SunState Federal Credit Union has a vested interest in Alachua County and the surrounding area – the credit union was originated and grew up here, and it lives here among us to this day. The original 10 charter members of SSFCU all lived and worked in Alachua County. Each put up $5 to give the organization its first $50 in assets. SunState has now grown to serve more than 36,300 members who live, work, worship, or attend school primarily in nine local counties. COMMUNITY SPIRIT The people who work at SSFCU live in and love North Central Florida. They’re your neighbors, friends and family, and charitable contributions are their favorite way to celebrate the place we call home. Each year the SSFCU employees choose their own charities that they donate to through the credit union’s unique payroll deduction and “pay to wear jeans” programs. SSFCU also hosts the 10forTeacher$ program and the seniortimesmagazine.com

NOMINATE YOUR FAVORITE CHARITY AS THE CHARITY OF THE MONTH AND GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO WIN $1000 FROM SUNSTATE FEDERAL CREDIT UNION! Visit the SSFCU Facebook page for more information.

ICE CREAM VAN PROVIDED TO THE ALACHUA COUNTY SHERRIF’S OFFICE BY SUNSTATE FEDERAL CREDIT UNION.

Facebook Charity of the Month contests that award donations to different charities throughout the year – as an extension of SunState’s cooperative nature, members and community residents decide where those donations go as opposed to someone at the credit union making the decision. But SSFCU wants to give even more people the chance to decide where donations land, so it’s launching their new SunState Livin’ campaign this summer! SunState Livin’ is designed to give more money to the community while continuing to celebrate all the great things that make Florida, well...Florida. HOW DOES IT WORK? To be a part of the fun, show what SunState Livin’ means to you by picking up a new SunState Livin’ sticker from your local SSFCU branch – there are three different designs available, so you are sure to love one of them! Take a selfie with your SunState Livin’ sticker on the back of your car, boat or RV, even on your favorite cooler, and post it to Instagram with #SunStateFCU.

For each person who tags their selfie, SSFCU will donate $5 to the Employee’s Charities of Choice program, plus you will get a cool SunState Livin’ T-shirt. In addition to the Charities of Choice donation, SSFCU will choose one SunState Livin’ selfie per month and award the winner $100. Then that winner will select a charity of their own choice (must be a 501C3 headquartered in the counties SunState Federal Credit Union serves), and SSFCU will donate $1,000 directly to that charity. So many worthy causes will receive the funding and recognition that will help them do the good work that makes our little corner of the world so wonderful. It’s all about recognizing the amazing work being done right here in our community, and using the credit union’s resources to help those organizations grow. It’s all about… SunState Livin’! SunState Livin’ is a state of mind that we all know and love, and SSFCU is working to bring our community together to make it even better.

AMERICA’S FOOTPRINTS

Freedom Trail Preserving a Piece of American History

Story and Photography by Hayli Zuccola

uch like the Land of Oz encouraged Dorothy and Toto to follow the yellow brick road, the city of Boston follows suit by guiding visitors throughout the historical city with an ever-fading red brick pathway known as The Freedom Trail. While it doesn’t lead to the illustrious Emerald City, this two and a half mile path takes those who walk it back in time to experience over 250 years of history with stops at 16 landmarks, including America’s oldest public park and the grave sites of Samuel Adams and Paul Revere. Though each destination holds value and century-old tales, there are nine stops that are worth the walk. STOP 2: MASSACHUSETTS STATE HOUSE Designed by Charles Bulfinch in 1798, the current Massachusetts State House has been home to both the legislative and executive branches for the state of Massachusetts for the past 200 years. While the building is important for governmental reasons, one of the most interesting features of the State House is the Sacred Cod. Located on the third floor of the building, the House of Representatives proudly hangs a four-foot-eleven wooden cod, which represents the success the state gained due to the fishing industry. The original Sacred Cod was carved and hung in the Old State House in the early 1700s, but was destroyed in a fire in 1747. The second cod disappeared after the British invaded Boston during the Revolution, according to massmoments.org, but a newly-carved cod made its way to the new and current state house in 1798. The cod only suffered one more

22 July 2019

major incident when it was momentarily “cod-napped” as a prank by members of the Harvard Lampoon, a student-run humor magazine. While the Sacred Cod is filled with over two centuries of history, the Massachusetts Senate wanted a mascot of their own – eventually designing a brass fish into their chamber’s chandelier and called it the Holy Mackerel. STOP 8: OLD SOUTH MEETING HOUSE Built in 1729, today the Old South Meeting House is recognized “as one of the nation’s most important colonial sites, one of the country’s first public historic conservation efforts, and one of the earliest museums of American history,” according to thefreedomtrail.org. While it was the site of plenty of historical meetings, its most prominent event occurred on December 16, 1773 when over 5,000 men met to debate the tea tax, which eventually led to the Sons of Liberty dumping 342 chests of tea into the harbor – a day marked in the history books as the Boston Tea Party. STOP 9: OLD STATE HOUSE Built in 1713, the Old State House is the oldest surviving public building in the city of Boston. It was right outside these walls that the Boston Massacre took place – an event that would eventually lead to the American Revolution. Though the Massachusetts government no longer resides inside the structure, this red brick building offers guests tours, exhibits and performances by American Revolution-era characters. seniortimesmagazine.com

STOP 10: BOSTON MASSACRE SITE Just outside the Old State House, a ring of bricks with the inscription “March 5, 1770,” marks the site of the Boston Massacre. The ever-growing tension and occasional confrontations between the citizens of Boston and the British Redcoats eventually led to an unnecessary act of violence that is now memorialized on The Freedom Trail. Trip Tip: Right before getting to Faneuil Hall, stop by the Samuel Adams statue. STOP 11: FANEUIL HALL Established in 1741, Faneuil Hall became the site of America’s first town meeting. It was a place for the citizens of Boston to express and debate issues for more than 270 years according to thefreedomtrail.org. While Faneuil Hall’s memoir could fill a book, it’s the golden grasshopper weathervane sitting on top of the structure since 1742 that may have the greatest story of all. Despite the grasshopper’s seemingly never-ending mishaps – including falling off Faneuil Hall twice, being damaged in a fire and even stolen in 1974 – it’s said that the gilded weathervane benefited Boston during the War of 1812 by acting as a lie detector. If a person didn’t know the answer to what was on

24 July 2019

top of Faneuil Hall, it was likely they were a spy. The weathervane’s greatest feature is the time capsule in the grasshopper’s stomach labeled “food for grasshopper.” Consuming everything from newspapers to coins, this little weathervane helps preserve mementos of the past – making it a crucial part of Boston history. However, when locals suggest a visit to Faneuil Hall they’re usually referring to the Faneuil Hall Marketplace, which is made up of four historic buildings: Faneuil Hall, Quincy Market, North Market and South Market. The Marketplace features over 100 shops, restaurants and pubs, making this stop on the trail arguably one of the best – offering visitors a taste of culture and entertainment. Trip Tip: After leaving Faneuil Hall, while on your journey to Paul Revere’s house, take a small detour off the path on Hanover Street to grab a cannoli at Mike’s Pastry – you won’t regret it. STOP 12: PAUL REVERE HOUSE Paul Revere is synonymous with the American Revolution and his former home is one of the oldest remaining structures in downtown Boston, according to thefreedomtrail. org. Visitors can tour the home where Revere lived from 1770 seniortimesmagazine.com

to 1800 and get a better insight of his famous midnight ride. STOP 15: USS CONSTITUTION The USS Constitution, which is the oldest fully commissioned vessel in the U.S. Navy, was graced with the nickname “Old Ironsides” during the War of 1812 when cannonballs launched at the ship seemed to bounce off. Visitors to the Charlestown Navy Yard can climb aboard this historic vessel and visit the USS Constitution Museum to learn more about the ship’s adventures at sea.

STOP 16: BUNKER HILL MONUMENT AND MUSEUM “Don’t fire ‘till you see the whites of their eyes!” A trip down the Freedom Trail will eventually lead you to the 221-foot-tall Bunker Hill Monument and the Battle of Bunker Hill Museum. Despite the fact that the Battle of Bunker Hill actually occurred on Breed’s Hill due to a map error, the name of the battle stuck. Even though the British won this skirmish, it’s recognized on the Freedom Trail as the first major battle of the Revolutionary War. It was just the beginning for the Colonials’ fight for freedom and separation from the British crown. Though two-and-a-half miles doesn’t sound excessive, it is a rather long distance to walk. If you don’t have the energy to stroll the entire path, visit thefreedomtrail.org for information on guided tours of portions of the trail and plan on taking public transportation to far away stops like the USS Constitution and the Bunker Hill Monument.

Tinseltown Talks Terry Moore as Valentino’s Lady in Black by Nick Thomas

ince her first film role in 1940, Terry Moore has appeared on the Big Screen in each of the subsequent eight decades. Recently celebrating her 90th birthday, the actress plays a lead role in the Vladislav Kozlov-directed period drama about silent film superstar Rudolph Valentino – Hollywood’s first male sex symbol. “The film’s called ‘Silent Life’ and I had 90 pages of dialog to learn,” said Ms. Moore from her home in Santa Monica. “I feel it’s one of the best roles I’ve ever had.” Following Valentino’s passing in 1926, a veiled woman who became known as “The Lady in Black” visited the actor’s grave each year, depositing a red rose. Over the years, the ritual was copied by other women and Moore’s character is an amalgamation of these mysterious crypt callers. To prepare for the role, Moore said she and the director visited Sequoia National Park to rehearse. “Going to Sequoia and working among those wonderful old trees was a brilliant idea,” she recalled. “The peaceful, quiet environment was perfect to bring out the range of emotions I had to develop and deliver in the film.” Director Kozlov was quite impressed with the veteran actress, calling Moore “a trooper” working over three brutally hot summer weeks during filming. “She was doing everything – dancing, crying, laughing, getting angry, telling jokes and stories and didn’t complain once,” Terry Moore celebrating her 90th birthday. (photo provided by Terry Moore) recalled Kozlov. “She has an incredible will, stamina, and a very sharp mind.” Moore said working with Kozlov reminded her of anoth“In one of the scenes I’m talking to Valentino in my mind and er film, some 60 years earlier. Scenes depicting Valentino’s from the corner of my eye I could see Tyrone Power’s grave,” mausoleum were filmed at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, she said. Moore and Power starred in 1953’s “King of the at the star’s actual tomb, which sparked the film flashback. Khyber Rifles.”

“Ty was the kindest actor I ever knew and one of the easiest actors I ever worked with,” she said. “It gave me chills to see it while filming because I remembered he once told me ‘If I die tomorrow, I want two things: to die on set and to have a son.’ He did both.” Power suffered a heart attack during a dueling scene with co-star George Sanders while filming “Solomon and Sheba” in 1958 and died soon after (his scenes were later re-shot with Yul Brynner playing Power’s Solomon role). Power’s wife gave birth to Tyrone Power IV two months later. In 2015, both Moore and the younger Power appeared in the horror film, “Mansion of Blood,” and she said “it’s so wonderful he’s followed in his father’s footsteps.” Moore and the director (who also plays Valentino) hope their film will have its world premiere at this year’s Venice Film Festival in August. “It was a challenging part, full of emotions, but I had to do it,” Moore said. “I started acting when I was 10 years old. It’s so marvelous to think I’m still working.” s Nick Thomas teaches at Auburn University at Montgomery, Ala., and has written features, columns, and interviews for over 700 magazines and newspapers.

America the Beautiful

ummers in the Midwest were a wonderful thing. We had sunshine and warm breezes to enjoy, the neighbor’s creek to cool off in, and boat rides on the river in my father’s boat. I guess the long frigid winters made us appreciate summertime all the more—plus school was out from June until September, which was always a good thing! My birthday was in late June, and when I was small it was always celebrated with a picnic in our yard with my cousins. Once my birthday had passed our thoughts turned to the 4th of July celebrations that were fast approaching. Our family homesite was located between a small village a few miles to our south and the bigger (small) town seven miles to our north. Both locations put on real old-fashioned small-town celebrations, complete with fireworks! Since everyone knows everyone in small communities such as these, it was a must to attend both. Lawn chairs and picnic lunches were packed up in our cars and prime spots for viewing the fireworks were staked out in

28 July 2019

advance. The little village had only one main street, with no traffic lights (maybe one stop sign), but their community park was very large with a bandstand and lots

of grassy areas for picnicking and setting up games for the children. And they still managed to have a parade down that little main street. We all waved and cheered them on.

As a teenager, I would drive my car with some of my girlfriends to both locations. We timed it so that we would be there for all the highlights such as the parade or greased pole climb. The greased pole was an ongoing all-day thing. Young kids would try time after time to reach the top where a $5 bill was attached. That was a lot of money back then! It took most of the day, because each time someone tried, a little more grease would be removed by the shirt of the contestant. Eventually enough grease was removed to get a good grip. Determination won in the end and a lucky contestant took home the prize. I often wondered if the contestants’ mothers attempted to wash their clothes, or just threw them out. The bigger town always had a carnival in the city park. It was such fun to go on the rides and sample the carnival food. Corn dogs, cotton candy, funnel cakes! Those were delicacies we only had once or twice a year when the carnival came to town. High school boys would show off their skills at winning a prize for a pretty girl they wanted to impress. One summer my future husband won so many huge stuffed animals he asked me to help him carry them. I did—but refused to give them back. He pretended to care, but I don’t think he really minded. That may have been the beginning of our 48+ year relationship. All this time later, he still wins me a prize at the county fair. The bigger town also had a huge parade every 4th of July. Local busiseniortimesmagazine.com

nesses, factories and the VFW had floats, the high school marching band would play, and the city firetrucks and police cars would drive by with sirens blaring. Local politicians looking for re-election would throw out candy for the children and hand out nail files for their mothers. Clowns were also there, making us laugh at their antics. It was quite a parade, often lasting more than an hour. After the parade, the firetrucks would relocate to a side of the park where they set up the water hoses for water fights. It was kind of a reverse “tug of war” where two teams would hold the big water hoses and try to blast the other team off the platform. Quite a sight to behold. Later in the afternoon, the adults would take their chairs to a shady place in the park and the friends and neighbors would chat. Mothers and grandmothers would keep an eye on the children who would play with their friends in the park, but come back from time to time to check in. Although it’s hard to imagine, back then it was a safer world where children could go off and play with friends. Not so today. By early evening my girlfriends had

usually found a cute boy to watch the fireworks with. Depending upon which boy caught their eye determined which town or village they attended. For whatever reason, I never went to the fireworks with a boy. I usually went home and stood out in my front yard looking to the sky where I could see fireworks in both directions. I have fond memories of those 4th of July nights, contented at home with my family and pets. Years later, that bigger town near us got really serious about their 4th of July celebration. They would raise money all year for a huge firework display which was held at the high school football field. People would come from all around to see the display, which was aptly named “America’s Best!” The bleachers were always packed, and since we didn’t want to fight through the crowds, we would back our pickup truck along the fence near the football field a day in advance. We loaded the cab of the truck with lawn chairs, blankets, and an ice chest filled with soft drinks and snacks. My sister-in-law lived near the high school, so all we had to do was walk from her house to the truck, throw out some blankets in the truck bed and watch the show. It was awesome! Real old-fashioned Americana. I hope these stories stir fond memories of your own. We should never lose sight of what a great nation this is. So many people have fought and sacrificed for our country—founded on liberty and justice for all. In so many ways, it truly is “America the Beautiful.”

We feel the best way to find and recognize local charities in our communities is by asking you! The SunState Community Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization that serves the communities in and around North Central Florida by promoting and facilitating philanthropy. The Foundation was established to promote and provide charitable assistance that contributes towards the development, education and well-being of the communities, areas and residents of Alachua, Columbia, Dixie, Gilchrist, and Levy Counties in Florida. The foundation’s initial goal is to administer and fully fund the award winning Facebook Charity-ofthe-Month program. SunState Federal Credit Union started the program in 2013, but has turned over administration of the program to the foundation, with SunState Federal Credit Union acting only as a sponsor. This has been done in the belief that this path will ensure the program remains a strong and expanding community resource long into the future. The SunState Community Foundation, Inc., provides donors/members opportunities to participate in the furtherance of the foundation’s goals in multiple ways. First, and foremost, the donors/members are providing funds to support the foundation’s charitable initiatives. Donors/members can also nominate groups for the Charity of the Month program, and then vote for the group of their choice. Donors/members are encouraged to participate and vote in the Charity of the Month program. Ultimately, the voters choose where foundation donations go as part of the infrastructure of the program.

Million Dollar Quartet May 31 - July 21 Four music icons, one glorious night and a whole lot of rock ‘n’ roll! In the Tony Award winning musical “Million Dollar Quartet,” superstars Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley have one of the greatest jam sessions of all time. Inspired by a true event, these four legends play their hearts out on stage as a tale filled with broken promises, deception, betrayal and passion forms. The play features legendary tunes like Blue Suede Shoes, I Walk the Line, Hound Dog, and Great Balls of Fire. ACTOR’S WAREHOUSE

Satchmo at the Waldorf June 21 - July 7 A one-man, three-character play in which the same actor portrays Louis Armstrong, the greatest of all jazz trumpeters; Joe Glaser, his white manager; and Miles Davis, who admired Armstrong’s playing but disliked his onstage manner. It takes place in 1971 in a dressing room backstage at the Empire Room of New York’s Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, where Armstrong performed in public for the last time four months before his death. He reminisces into a tape recorder about his life and work.

BOOK REVIEW BY

TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER

The Pioneers BY DAVID MCCULLOUGH c.2019, Simon & Schuster $30.00 / $39.99 Canada, 332 pages

our destination this summer is somewhere you’ve never been before. You want to be surprised and delighted, to see things, experience activities, and try foods that are all new to you. You’re thinking of a good pampering, perhaps, with spas and shopping. Or maybe, as in “The Pioneers” by David McCullough, you’ll be roughing it, sans campers, roads, medicine, RVs, or decent boots. The Reverend Manasseh Cutler saw an opportunity. As a former army chaplain, he knew

42 July 2019

that the British had ceded land to the U.S. after the Revolutionary War and that it was available, though the territory was untamed and, aside from a few forts, unsettled by white folks. And so, following a meeting with like-minded, land-seeking New Englanders – many of them, war veterans – Cutler saddled his horse and headed to New York to convince members of the U.S. Congress to pass an ordinance making settlement and statehood easier for newly-populated territories. Technically speaking, the government didn’t even own the land yet – local Indians did – but that mattered little to General Rufus Putnam. Putnam had been at the meeting and, unafraid of hardship, was eager to get to this wild land. On December 31, 1787, he departed for Ohio, leading a group of New Englanders with eyes on new farms and new beginnings. Putnam, says McCullough, likely knew the kind of “difficulties and danger” his party faced on the trip, which took more than three months to complete. They were told that the Indians in the area were “friends and brothers” but “Rufus Putnam thought it best to wait and see.” His caution was warranted, as it turned out. Over time, the Delaware, Wyandot, Shawnee, and Miami tribes were not happy having white settlers in the area, and they showed it with deadly attacks, stolen scalps, and by wantonly slaughtering local wildlife on which the settlers depended for sustenance. At the end of 1790, Putnam wrote to President Washington that he feared “the worst.”

On January 2, 1791, “calamity” happened… These stories – heart-pounding and soul-freezing as they are – aren’t the whole of what you’ll read inside “The Pioneers.” Inside, you’ll find so much more. Readers who think “middle-America” when they think of settlers are in for a treat in this book. Author David McCullough not only takes the story back further, but he goes deeper through mini-biographies on various historical figures and by detailing the everyday lives of average settlers, both men and women. While this is perhaps familiar information, it adds a definite relevance. Another of the more interesting things about this book is that you may, at times, forget that it’s a historical

Author David McCullough

account. McCullough tells this story with a novelist’s flair inserted into facts, which makes the excitement keener, the atmosphere richer, and the personalities of its people rounder. Fans of McCullough’s work, therefore, will thoroughly enjoy this latest dip into a corner of history, but novel-lovers may want to take a stab at it, too. “The Pioneers” is well-done and absorbing, but it also makes Ohio, circa 1790, a great destination. s Terri Schlichenmeyer has been reading since she was 3 years old and she never goes anywhere without a book. She lives with her two dogs and 11,000 books. seniortimesmagazine.com
