Have you incorporated your career into your writing? I never had time to write a novel before I retired. My experiences from nearly 50 years in technology contributed to my writing, as did my travels for both business and fun.

Are you planning another book? I am writing my second novel, “Cyberian Affair,” which I hope to publish in 2018.

takes on Russia, leading to murder and a full-scale cyber war.

Where did your interest in beer originate? In the mid-’70s, I joined a beer club and learned to enjoy quality beer.

Soon, I began to read everything I could about beer and brewing, and I made a point of trying new styles and brands.

Over time, I have sampled thousands of different beers.

Favorite beer? Probably my favorite IPA is Dogfish Head 120. My favorite pilsner is Pilsner Urquell. My favorite stout is probably Left Hand Barrel-Aged Wake Up Dead. For Trappist ales, it is Rochefort 10.

In general, my favorite beer is usually the one I just tried for the first time.

Favorite cities? Vancouver, British Columbia; Brugge, Belgium; Prague, Czech Republic; and Fira, Santorini, Greece.

Favorite spot in The Villages? World of Beer (of course).

RV SALES SERVICE COLLISION For A Better RV Experience

MICHAEL HAWKINS,

DIRECTOR OF SERVICE OPERATIONS

HONESTY INTEGRITY AFFORDABILITY

352.330.3800 4505 Monaco Way Wildwood, Florida 34785

I’m Michael Hawkins, director of service operations in Wildwood. I started in the RV industry in 2003 with Monaco Coach Corporation, where my passion for service took off. Working on RVs means you fix everything from plumbing to painting, which gives me great satisfaction. However, the most fulfilling part is building relationships with customers. Through the years, I’ve learned that being a good listener and being honest are the most important ingredients in a relationship.

I’m very proud of our service technicians, who often make repairs no other dealers can fix, and they do it daily. On-site training from Ed Cowan means we have access to the best from RVIA and factory training from all manufacturers, and Josh Hall, service manager, does in-house training. As a result, we were voted a Top-50 dealer in the country, which makes us very proud.

Happy Holidays to everyone from all of us here at Alliance Coach!

Silent world, holy world Pray long and hard for a season of peace.

WRITER: JOE ANGIONE

T

his year we’ve heard and seen almost nothing but bad news— personal hardships, humanitarian disasters, terrorist assaults, saber-rattling by enemy nations, and talk of imminent war. Our ears hurt, our eyes are strained, and our minds reel from a litany of terrible events happening now and possibly in the future.

These sights and sounds are terrifying and have many of us believing there’s no hope for a world careening toward oblivion.

We need a break, and fortunately we’re at that time of year when a break is most likely to happen...if we hope and pray hard enough.

One of the most famous Christmas expressions of hope for the world are the words of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: “I heard the bells on Christmas Day. Their old, familiar carols play.

And wild and sweet their words repeat of peace on earth, good will to men!

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:

God is not dead, nor doth he sleep; The wrong shall fail; the right prevail, With peace on earth, good will to men.”

Steve Maraboli, a popular behavioral scientist, makes the spirit of Christmas simple: “Want to keep Christ in Christmas? Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, forgive the guilty, welcome the unwanted, care for the ill, love your enemies, and do unto others as you would have done unto you.”

Unfortunately, that’s not what’s happening in war-torn places like Syria, the scene of the unspeakable slaughter of tens of thousands of defenseless citizens caught up in a civil war of unimaginable brutality, and of ear-splitting, mindshattering sights, sounds, and pain.

These victims long for one single silent night, one holy night, no less a lifetime without terror and misery. Their longings for a peaceful existence may never be answered unless we pray long and hard for them. God remains their only hope for survival as, of course, He is for ours.

Please take a few minutes this season to pray for them and all others whose misfortune can be eased only by God. A silent world, a holy world filled with God’s love and mercy should be foremost in our hopes for this Christmas and for the New Year.

Charles Dickens was right when he counseled us “to honor Christmas in our hearts, and try to keep it all the year.”

It is, after all, not just a date, but a state of mind that raises us all to the highest level of joyful human existence.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

he folks in Mayberry are gathering for a meeting. Here comes Aunt Bee with her famous fried chicken and a side of pickles, and in tow is Opie, who’s all dirty from playing football. Thelma Lou giggles as Barney sticks out his chest and says he’s watching his weight.

Everyone steps around Goober, who’s taking a car apart in the room, and it looks like Gomer just plumb forgot to show up. Then in walks Andy with Helen Crump on his arm, declaring, “This here’s an out-STANDIN’ idea!”

Then a rock flies through the window, and they know Ernest T. Bass is in town.

The meetings of the Friends of Mayberry Club aren’t quite the same, but all the characters of “The Andy

“I TALKED TO A FEW PEOPLE, GETTING THEIR INTEREST, AND DECIDED IT’D BE PRETTY NEAT TO HAVE A MAYBERRY CLUB.” —BRUCE SPERRY

Griffith Show” are there in spirit.

The club meets at 3pm the second Thursday of each month at Paradise Recreation Center in The Villages.

Club members are fanatics of the 1960s TV show with the catchy theme song, “The Fishin’ Hole,” that made everybody want to whistle along. They know far too much about widower Andy Taylor (played

by Griffith), son Opie (Ron Howard), caretaker Aunt Bee (Frances Bavier), buddy and deputy Barney Fife (Don Knotts), and a cast of thousands.

The show spanned eight seasons and 249 episodes, going out on top in 1968 with the No. 1 rating.

Bruce Sperry, an Iowa snowbird, had the outstanding idea to start the club about a year ago, his first year in The Villages.

“I thought Andy Griffith and Mayberry is a pretty neat thing,” Bruce

says. “There are a lot of different things going on in The Villages. I talked to a few people, getting their interest, and decided it’d be pretty neat to have a Mayberry club.”

During peak season, the meetings attract 25 to 35 Villagers who watch episodes, share memories of the show, and answer trivia questions. They even occasionally display a Mayberry patrol car replica driven by a young fan whom Bruce flagged down one day in The Villages. And if anyone says anything negative, they will nip it!

Nip it in the bud!

The show’s popularity endures because of the characters, the family bond they shared, and the homespun humor, members say.

“It was the kind of a town you knew couldn’t exist but you wished it would,” Tom Quay says.

“There’s always a story behind it, always a moral,” adds Anita Rateike.

For Bruce, the show presents life lessons and values while still having fun. He watched “Andy Griffith” as a kid, but took his fandom to new heights as an adult.

For special occasions, he and his wife, Sue, host Mayberry-themed parties where guests dress up as the lead characters or recurring characters like Ernest T. Bass or the “Fun Girls,” Skippy and Daphne.

“It’s pretty funny to see people dress up as their favorite character,” Bruce says. “Ernest T. Bass brings a rock. One guy came as Mr. McBeevee wearing a belt with tools and a hat.”

The “Mr. McBeevee” episode, in which Opie describes seeing a man with 12 extra hands (his tools) who

walks in the trees (as a lineman) and blows smoke out of his ears (a trick with a cigarette), teaches Andy about trusting his child.

That episode is one of Bruce’s favorites, along with “Man in a Hurry,” perhaps the quintessential depiction of Mayberry. Mr. Tucker, a harried businessman whose car breaks down on a Sunday, learns how to take life more slowly from the town’s easygoing souls.

“Those are both good ones. I like them all, but they all add something a little different,” Bruce says.

started getting up in the middle of the night to set the VCR to record the show, which aired at 3am on WGN. He wanted a collection of every episode in the days before DVDs. “It was exciting when he finally got the last episode,” she says.

When Bruce can’t see the show on TV, he still can see Mayberry in his home. He has a “Mayberry Village” display with about 15 figurines of characters and town buildings, similar to a smaller-scale model train village, he says.

The Sperrys also visited Andy’s hometown of Mount Airy, North

“MY HUSBAND TOLD OUR SON, ‘THINK ABOUT WHICH CAR YOU WANT FOR GRADUATION.’ WE DIDN’T FIGURE IT’D BE THIS CAR!” —REGINA HOVEY

Sue, Bruce’s wife of 48 years, also watched the show growing up, but wasn’t as big a fan and didn’t entirely know about Bruce’s obsession while they were dating.

“He never mentioned it too much when we started going together or were first married,” she says. “But that wouldn’t have kept me from marrying him.

“It kind of grew on me,” Sue adds. “It’s been a lot of fun.”

Sue may have become a little alarmed in the 1980s when Bruce

Carolina, where Mayberry Days is staged each year. The festival includes events linked to episodes and characters, such as Aunt Bee’s Bake Sale, Pickleland, Mr. Tucker’s Apple Peeling Contest, Mrs. Wiley’s Tea Party, the Chester Jones Checkers Tournament, and the Goober Says Hay Bale Toss.

At any given time, dozens of Andys, Barneys, Goobers, and Gomers are walking the streets—Shazam!

“It’s pretty incredible. It was a sight to see,” Bruce says.

He’s not the only hard-core fan in the club. Anita and her husband, Don, have not only visited Mayberry Days in North Carolina, but also a Midwestern version of the event, along with the Mayberry Cafe in Danville, Indiana, and the Taylor Home Inn, a bed-and-breakfast in Clear Lake, Wisconsin, that’s an exact replica of the Taylors’ home in the show— they stayed in Opie’s room. Anita also gets an online newsletter called Weaver’s Department Store that shares Mayberry-related news and sells merchandise.

Several club members have attended Mayberry Days and met surviving cast members, such as Maggie Peterson, who played Charlene Darling, and Rodney Dillard, of the Dillards band, who was one of her bluegrass-playing brothers known as the Darlings.

Griffith and George Lindsey (Goober) died in 2012, Knotts in 2006, and Bavier in 1989. “Little Ronny Howard,” now 63, is an Oscar-winning director, and Jim Nabors (Gomer) is 87 and retired.

Tom Quay jokes that his “claim to fame” is getting a kiss from Thelma Lou—actress Betty Lynn, who played Barney’s girlfriend.

“She was easy to talk to,” Tom says. “I asked her, was being in the show as much fun as it looked like?

She said it was just like you see on TV—one big family.”

Regina Hovey and her husband, Dane, found the Mayberry sheriff’s car while shopping online. Son Chase, who graduated three years ago from high school, now drives the ’67 Plymouth Fury everywhere and sometimes wears a Mayberry deputy’s uniform, complete with a lapel pin that has Barney Fife’s photo on it.

“My husband told our son, ‘Think about which car you want for graduation,’” Regina says. “We didn’t figure it’d be this car!”

While the club has some fanatics, not everyone remembers the show from their youth. Robin Parrow had the audacity to read books rather than watch Andy each week along with millions of viewers. She started attending club meetings to support her friends, the Sperrys, but Andy has won over a new convert.

“It’s a pleasant program to watch and it’s funny and it makes you

laugh,” she says. “It goes back to when things were so much simpler and not as complicated. I’m enjoying going, because I keep going back.”

Villager Hal Stone ran a recent meeting in Bruce’s absence, and an intimate group of a dozen fans munched popcorn while watching “previews,” a rarely seen reel of commercials with the “Griffith” cast in character pitching products like Sanka and Post Toasties.

Then the screening began with “Wedding Bells for Aunt Bee,” in which Bee dates boring dry cleaner Fred Goss because she mistakenly thinks she needs to get married so Andy can have a social life. The lesson: Family comes first. Griffith always said the essence of the show was people who loved each other.

Then they watched “Three’s a Crowd,” where Andy tries to woo Mary, played by lovely Sue Ane Langdon, only to have Barney continually interfere. The lesson: Everybody cares about everybody else in Mayberry, and there’s no getting around it.

Club members laughed about the antiquated TV habit of characters smoking cigarettes, reminisced about times when you still could leave your

doors unlocked, and remarked about the refreshing lack of foul language and nudity found in many of today’s shows. (Langdon saved some partial nudity for Playboy in 1966. There’s some trivia you might not hear at Friends of Mayberry).

They also recalled that the “Griffith” show developed from an episode of Danny Thomas’ “Make Room for Daddy.”

“The only time you got to stay up late was to watch Danny Thomas and then Andy Griffith, Monday night in Iowa,” Sue says.

No need to stay up late these days. “The Andy Griffith Show” can be found at all hours, all around the world, still providing laughs, lessons, and love—all in about 25 minutes, Bruce says.

“They put on a pretty good show,” he says.

Go ahead. Whistle the theme song. You know you want to.

Finding the joy in Christmas People who experience increased anxiety or depression during the holidays can find effective ways to cope.

STORY: JAMES COMBS // THERESA CAMPBELL

They say time heals pain, but sometimes time makes it worse because it’s another year without a person in your life whom you loved dearly.

t’s not always the most wonderful time of the year.

Just ask Maile DeLand, of Lady Lake, and Vanessa Vazquez, of Mascotte.

Maile has spent the past 20 years grieving during Christmas. In January 1998, her stepfather, James Kirby, shot and killed her mother, Kathy Kirby, before taking his own life. Maile, who at the time was a senior at Leesburg High School, discovered their lifeless bodies after hearing four gunshots.

“I sometimes dread the holidays,” Maile says. “They say time heals pain, but sometimes time makes it worse because it’s another year without a person in your life whom you loved dearly.”

For Vanessa, a high school teacher and mother of three boys, Christmas is a stressful time due to social demands, changes in normal routines, and financial hardships.

“I could very easily fill the entire months of November and December with a million wonderful activities, but that causes me stress, costs money, and will leave everyone disgruntled because I’m a mess,” Vanessa says.

The holidays are a time when lights twinkle from rooftops and trees, children invade shopping malls to reveal their wish lists to Santa, and homes are filled with laughter and joy. For Maile, Vanessa, and countless others, however, the holiday season brings unwanted guests—sadness or heightened depression. That is especially true for anyone dealing with the loss of a loved one, divorce, family conflict, loneliness, mental health issues, or a dizzying array of demands.

“It’s doubtful that people become depressed beginning around Thanksgiving and then magically snap out of it when the holidays end on January 2,” says Dr. Chrisann Reid, a licensed psychotherapist with Lake County-based Central Florida Counseling and Psychological Services.

“If they’re depressed during the holidays, then they likely have chronic depression that ebbs and flows throughout the year.

However, the holidays can bring it on more intensely. I think most people who are sad only around Christmastime have what I call ‘the holiday blues.’”

A variety of factors can lead to increased depression and the holiday blues, but with effective coping mechanisms, people do not have to spend the holidays in a state of sadness or despair.

Just say no Having a busy social calendar is one reason why people are in a not-so-jolly mood around Christmastime.

“It is OK to say no,” Chrisann says.

“Make a list and determine what it is you really want to do. You definitely may want to attend the company Christmas party, but you don’t want to attend your neighbor’s party. You prioritize. Also, don’t feel pressured to host a Christmas party if you don’t have time. Identify what you can do and what you can’t do and live with that decision.”

Vanessa finds that scheduling dates with her husband, planning rest periods, and spending time alone help her cope with

the high expectations of Christmas. She also does Christmas shopping online.

“Those are big sanity savers. If I go, go, go, I will get mentally burned out and I will be useless to everyone,” she says.

“One of my triggers for anxiety is exhaustion. When I am tired, I am much more at risk of having panic attacks, so I have to make sure I am sleeping well and letting my mind rest.”

Coping with the loss of a loved one That first holiday season after experiencing the death of a loved one can be an emotionally trying time. All the festivities stir up precious memories, and grievers are expected to be jolly and full of holiday spirit even though they are still coping with loss.

Twenty years later, Maile finds that sadness and grief remain constant companions around the holiday season. However, she has discovered ways to lessen the pain.

That includes giving herself permission to grieve and cry and letting her husband and two children know when she needs extra support or alone time for reflection.

“During the holidays, I’ll tell my husband that I need to go for a drive by myself or spend 20 minutes alone in the bathroom. That helps me pick myself up and keep going,” Maile says.

Another way to deal with loss during the holidays, experts say, is celebrating the life of those who are gone instead of mourning their death.

“What I recommend is creating some ritual to honor that person,” says W. Steven Saunders, a licensed psychologist and owner of Central Florida Psychological Consultants in Clermont. “Honor their presence and honor a tradition they would bring to Christmas. My paternal grandfather was famous for his

long-winded prayers before our Christmas dinner. He was a World War II veteran who ended his prayer by blessing our troops overseas. One thing we’d do to honor him is make a donation to veterans’ groups. Doing this kept that part of him alive, which was important to us as a family. It helped us cherish the memories of him in a very positive way.”

Seek professional help Sometimes, anxiety can become unbearable around Christmastime.

“Now is their big Christmas meal and they start having triggers from the past when their was trauma, violence, anxiety—things that were bad experiences with their family before—and they may have tucked it away all year long,” says Sandi Burchfield, a licensed marriage and family therapist at Family Life Counseling Center in Groveland.

Fortunately, counseling can be more therapeutic than medication.

“Oftentimes, people are dealing with issues they do not feel comfortable talking about around family or friends,” Chrisann says. “When clients come to me for counseling, they can talk with an objective person who does not judge them. When you’re depressed at home and see the glass as half empty, it’s hard to get out of that mindset. A therapist can help change that mindset so you’re seeing the glass as half full.

More importantly, everything my clients say is confidential, so they have an opportunity to get everything off their chest.”

“Promise Not to Tell’

By Jayne Ann Krentz. Coming Jan. 2: An artist who paints her secrets throws herself into the sea, and her friend must find out why.

STORY: LEIGH NEELY

I *

Jayne Ann Krentz has a true gift for keeping the tension going and tightening the suspense so you want to keep reading until the end.

am so excited to review this upcoming novel by best-selling author Jayne Ann Krentz. They say a secret is only a secret if just one person knows, but that seldom happens.

Hannah Brewster is a talented artist and loner who lives on a cliff in the woods. She is haunted by a traumatic past that won’t let her live the life of a normal person. When she’s confronted with her greatest fear, she reacts in dramatic fashion, leaving her friend, Virginia Troy, wondering why.

As children, Hannah, Virginia Troy, Cabot Sutter, and Max Cutler all survived a horrific barn fire that was meant to kill them. Even worse, cult leader Quinton Zane, who had locked the children in the barn, then killed their mothers. Thanks to the heroic efforts of Detective Anson Salinas, they and the other children trapped in the burning barn survived. However, they’re all still dealing with the past, especially since there’s no definitive proof that Quinton is dead.

Here’s an excerpt from Hannah’s perspective: She was surprised to see that her hands were once again steady, just as if she held a brush and stood in front of an untouched canvas. Tonight she would paint a picture with fire.

Afterward, they would say she was crazy, that she had finally gone over the precarious edge that separated sanity and madness. But the truth was that her mind had not been this clear in a very long time. She knew exactly what she had to do.

When Virginia shows up at the private investigation firm owned by Cabot, Max, and Anson, they are immediately ready to help solve the mystery surrounding Hannah’s death. This book follows the story of “When All the Girls Have Gone,” which featured Max and Charlotte Sawyer.

Virginia believes there are hidden messages in Hannah’s dark and somewhat frightening paintings. As she and Cabot get further involved in the investigation, they are convinced Quinton has come back or someone else from the cult is looking for money that legend says Quinton had hidden.

As they delve deeper into the mystery, things become more dangerous and chaotic. Jayne Ann Krentz has a true gift for keeping the tension going and tightening the suspense so you want to

keep reading until the end. She seldom disappoints in her romantic suspense novels, and this one is no exception.

She always brings her characters to the brink in every situation and leaves you breathless with what happens next.

When a murder occurs at Virginia’s art gallery, the group must double its efforts to comprehend the message in Hannah’s art. In the midst of an investigation that leads them from one peril to another, Cabot and Virginia are finding that both of them still have to cope with the nightmares and post-traumatic stress of surviving the fire. As a result, their romantic involvement is tempered with patience and understanding and an edge of knowing there’s no promise of tomorrow—the perfect recipe for a tingling romance.

Though I haven’t read “When All the Girls Have Gone,” I do plan to do that. However, this book stood well on its own, and I don’t think I missed any elements by not reading the first one. I also believe there may be another one coming, and that would be just fine with me.
