s we grow older many of us begin to realize we may have made a mistake when we skipped some of the formal education opportunities we had in our youth. Back then, school seemed like a never-ending proposition, but as life slows a bit some of us gain a renewed interest. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face it, as a group we were left behind in the technology age. Now may be a good time to try and catch up. There are several good places here in Volusia County where a senior citizen might comfortably and inexpensively gain some computer expertise. If you ever expect to communicate with your grandkids this would be a worthwhile endeavor. We are very fortunate to have Daytona State College to serve our education needs. DSC offers all sorts of classes with practical applications. Perhaps you would enjoy horticul-

ture or even auto mechanics. It is a well kept secret the photography courses offered by the college rank among the finest in the country. Some years back I rented an apartment to a couple of young men who had come here from Kansas just to take photography at Daytona State. If you have always known that you have a talent for taking nice photos a few courses at DSC might even provide you with a second career. As they say, if your job involves doing something you love you are never working. Witness yours truly scribbling away for the Hometown News. Obviously I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get rich with this job, but I do enjoy it so.

Writing can be very rewarding. Many of us believe we have a story to tell and in this modern world it has never been easier to publish a book. You may have to take a couple of those aforementioned computer classes to get started, but once you become at ease with a PC, writing a book will seem easy. I enjoy writing screenplays and have completed three as well as two books. At this age, it makes me happy to know my memories are in print and will survive me. Also at Daytona State College is the WISE program. If taking formal classes and beginning a new career seems just a bit too ambitious for you, WISE may be perfect. Wisdom In Senior Education is a program that provides senior education in an informal, non-credited format. It is presented by the Daytona State College Foundation, a non-profit

group. Each year WISE offers a series of lectures by area notables. The spring series just completed featured Mr. Vern Weidner, an expert on Benjamin Franklin, and Bruce Beattie, former political cartoonist for the daily paper who spoke on freelance cartooning. Mr. Dave Archard lectured on the early days of radio and Ms. Pat Drago spoke of her many travels to Cuba. In all there was over a dozen speakers and on Feb. 5 I gave a talk on area fishing. My lecture was given at the main stage of the News Journal Center in downtown Daytona Beach. A lively crowd showed up and it was fun to command such an auditorium. After my talk, the WISE group had several good questions for me and I believe we all had a good time. WISE is a great way for seniors See LANDLINES, Page 10

For many people, school was something to dread at the end of summer. After more than two months of leisure, the thought of what lay in store wasn’t just the books and tests, but all the other horrors found within the conCECIL G. BRUMLEY fines of the MANAGING EDITOR school. But as an adult, going to school is something that can be a good challenge or just plain old fun. Adults don’t have to worry about getting loaded down with the baggage that many teenagers have to carry. They can just dive in and enjoy what the school has to offer. While Volusia County doesn’t have a major institution like the University of Florida, it does have plenty of educational opportunities. Whether you want a structured curriculum that leads to a certificate or degree, or you just want something entertaining or interesting, you have BethuneCookman University, Daytona State College, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and Stetson University. The University of Florida and the University of Central Florida also offer programs. One of the best resources you can find is the UF extension service, which provides classes and resources, covering many different topics.

Want to Down Size? Want to Sell Now? Integrity Home Loan has a unique Reverse Mortgage Solution for Active Adults Who Want to Sell Their Home New Smyrna Beach, Fla. --- Glenn Russell through Integrity Home Loan of Central Florida has a unique solution for active adults who need to sell their family home in order to retire to Florida: a reverse mortgage will give them the cash now to invest in a retirement home.

072094

August 2013

Glenn Russell, NMLS#224836, a reverse mortgage specialist representing Integrity Home Loan of Central Florida working from his East Volusia office, said that for some active adults a reverse mortgage makes the perfect solution. “Many active adults have put off retirement until they can sell their home up north and use the proceeds to buy a retirement home in Florida,” Russell said. “A reverse mortgage can make a great deal of sense,” Russell explained. “They can use the cash to buy a retirement home now instead of waiting until the real estate market fully recovers,” he said. Homes that are currently listed for sale won’t qualify. But the solution to that dilemma is simple, Russell said. “To qualify for a reverse mortgage the home must be removed from the MLS listing of homes for sale,” Russell explained. “After the reverse mortgage is approved, the home can be placed on the market for sale again,” he said. “Once you move into a retirement home, it becomes a primary residence and it qualifies for a reverse mortgage,” Russell said. “And the owner can use the reverse mortgage money to start enjoying their retirement now,” he added. Reverse mortgages may not work for everyone, Russell cautioned. Generally speaking, reverse mortgages have suffered the same fate as the housing market. “The amount of equity available to a senior home owner has been affected by the general decline in housing values. In some cases that loss of equity is too much for the program to work,” Russell said. “However, working with their financial advisors, we can develop attractive alternatives. Many homeowners are choosing to eliminate their monthly mortgage expenses and take advantage of reverse mortgages,” he said. Russell said the reverse mortgage option is one solution to the retirement dilemma that should be considered with trusted financial advisors. “For couples who are in the right position, a reverse mortgage can pave the way to their dream of Florida retirement, or retirement anywhere else,” Russell said.

EDUCATION By Erika Webb ewebb@hometownnewsol.com

If every cloud has a silver lining, the Great Recession may actually have rained opportunity upon the heads of baby boomers — in torrents. Those of us born between 1946 and 1964, now 49 to 67 years old, have had to do a lot of gear switching and expectation lowering in the past five years. Admittedly, we’re a little shell shocked. The foundation we thought was solid crumbled like coffee cake topping right before our rose-colored, progressive lenses. A substantial segment of the population — 28 percent is boomers, according to the U.S. Census Bureau — stood mouths collectively agape. Previously solid industries were disappearing into thin air. Our pay and our 401(k) plans dwindled while the cost of absolutely everything sky rocketed. There was talk of Social Security being cut. “Wait a minute,” we said. “We’re tired and our feet hurt. Haven’t we paid our dues? What about uuuussssss?” we whined, and rightfully so. More appalling, no sympathy notes arrived from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Many lost homes and hope, but back in the magical — for us — ‘70s Freddie Mercury and friends told us we are the champions and we’ve never forgotten it. We rolled with the punches. Refusing to subscribe to the defeating “old dog, new tricks” adage large numbers of boomers went back to school. “(Baby Boomers represent) over a quarter of the population, giving them a significant degree of power economically and culturally,” about.com reported in an online article. “They’re changing the age, and the meaning, of retirement by going back to college and earning new degrees.” But it’s not just about having something to do. Many of us will have to

School of hard knocks sends boomers back to class

Perhaps most importantly, her hard work there earned Mrs. Strunks an Individual Training Account Scholarship to go back to school. “I went through all of the classes and did an essay on why I needed assistance and how it would help me,” she said. Fortunately, Mrs. Strunks enjoyed her job as accounting manager and knew she wanted to pursue a path of higher education in that field. She received her AS certification in accounting applications-computerized with high honors from Daytona State College in 2009. She forged ahead and graduated Phi Theta Kappa with an associate degree in accounting technology in 2013. Evidently her perseverance and earnestness caught the attention of someone at the CBE, because she applied for and was offered a job with the center and is now the finance specialist at the Daytona Beach office. “I love my job,” she said. “And I couldn’t have gotten where I am if I hadn’t gone back to school.” This fall, Mrs. Strunks will return to Photo courtesy of Esther Long Daytona State to begin working Esther Long at graduation in 2011 when she completed the first leg of toward a bachelor’s of applied sciher journey by earning an associate degree in paralegal studies.

She said the question many must answer is: “Are you financially able to carry that (debt) if you don’t have any other assistance?” Mrs. Strunks is a “where there’s a will there’s a way” person and she’s determined to reach her goals. And she did her homework as it applied to becoming and remaining enrolled. She commuted, took online classes, joined a college business club, and used the college’s specialized personnel to learn about financial assistance, student loans and the best “courses” of action to take for marketability upon graduation. “I was a full-time student while looking for work,” she said. “After gaining full-time employment it became necessary to drop my full class load and become a part-time

GOING BACK Advice , encouragement from student advisors By Erika Webb ewebb@hometownnewsol.com

LeeAnn Davis has been the Director of Academic Advising at Daytona State College since 2007. She earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Central Florida in 1997, a master’s degree in Educational Leadership, Student Personnel track from the University of Central Florida in 2001, and a Doctorate in Educational Leadership with a focus in Higher Education in 2005. Ms. Davis also is a Navy veteran who served 12 years in various locations. She manages the Academic Advising department, the dual enrollment program, and the new Veterans Resource Center at Daytona State College. Q. How many baby boomer students are currently enrolled at the col-

lege? A. DSC has served thousands of boomers over the years in dozens of programs, with more than 1,200 now enrolled. Q. Is there a particular field of study that interests them most? A. Fall 2012 Top majors (50 and older) are associate of arts degree, 312 students (this degree is the first two years of a bachelor’s degree); bachelor’s of applied science, 115 students; bachelor’s of science, 31 students (some of these are in engineering technology and some are in education). Q. Do they seem to be more interested in obtaining four-year degrees, associate degrees or working toward certificates? A. It varies from person to person. We have some in each level. It really depends on what the student’s goal is. For some of them, they just want

to finish quickly and get a job. In that case, it is better for the student to do a certificate, which is one year, or associate degree, which is two years. We do have a few students in our bachelor’s degree programs that either are already working, trying to update their skills or trying to change careers. Q. Based on your knowledge of the job market today, what courses do you recommend to middle-aged and older returning students? A. I talk to students about what interests them the most and why they are coming back to school. That helps determine what I will recommend to the student. For instance, I worked with a woman that was about 60 and she needed to get a job because she needed the money. She also didn’t want anything that involved math classes because she was never very good at math. We

worked together and found a (medical office management) certificate program she was very happy with. She graduated this past May. We had another student that just wanted a bachelor’s degree because that had always been a goal. She spent several years in school and completed her degree. Still others are just updating skills because either they want to change careers or they need a higher-level degree for their job. Those are the students in the bachelor’s degree programs. Q. What are some of the reasons you’ve heard as to why people might return to college after being in the work force for many years? A. A lot of them are coming back because they are unemployed and need to retrain. Some of them just See SCHOOL Q&A, Page 8

want to learn something new and some of the women have told me they have never worked and needed some kind of training because they now need a job. Also, occasionally we get one that just wants a degree because they have always wanted one and have never had the opportunity to go back to school. Q. Has the number increased in the past five or six years since the onset of the recession? A. Actually, the number of baby boomer students at DSC went up with the onset of the recession. It appears to be leveling off now. Q. In talking with returning students, what have you discovered when it comes to their concerns, fears or excitement about going back to college, or going to college for the first time? A. Math is a common fear among most of these students. Many of them never had a higher-level math course or it has been years since they took math and they don’t remember it. Also, many of them talk about being too old and they are intimidated by being in class with younger students. Some of them are just happy

The first step is to either complete the admissions application online at our website or come to campus and one of our admissions advisors will be happy to admit you. There is a placement test but it isn’t pass or fail. It is just there to make sure we put you into the right courses. Also, once you are admitted, an academic advisor is always there for you. If you don’t know what to do or where to go just come in to see one of the advisors and they will assist you. I always tell students, I am a baby boomer and I didn’t start college until I was in my late 20s and by the Randy Barber/staff photographer time I finished by doctorate I was in academic advising and dual enroll- my late 40s.

GENEALOGY E It may be days, weeks or months and you will probably lose your train of thought, but getting away will also give you a much-needed break and clear your mind. Starting back fresh will provide a new perspective about how to go about finding a different way around your old problems. You decide to research the in-laws that are not your ancestors, or all the aunts, uncles, sisters, brothers and cousins. Often, finding everything about these people will often provide valuable clues to a direct ancestor you have been stuck on, possibly, for years. When you finally break down that dead-end wall, the answer has usually been sitting there all this time, but you just didn’t see the way around

the wall to get to it. Taking a breather from genealogy is not a bad thing. The interest never dies, and when an event of some type triggers it, you will be more excited and productive as ever. Remember my motto: “Someone, somewhere has the answer; it is your job to find it.” My friends and I have been taking a new tactic to get results. We trade our problems with one other and work on someone else’s dead-end. This proves to be just as exciting as finding a new surname in our own family, but not as personal. Actually, we begin to feel related to each other because “your people are my people” at that point. I recently had a good friend call me, desperate for help. She was look-

ing for a long-lost cousin she had never known. We did not know if her cousin was still alive or what kind of health she was in. Susan gave me all the facts she had, and all the necessary research had been done until she had reached that brick wall. She was thoroughly stuck. I started at the beginning and did my research on the family, and was very impressed she had done all her research thoroughly until she came to the last two women she wanted to find. The problem was we did not know their married names, and therefore had no way to find them. I came up with the bright idea to research the aunt’s family not related to Susan. She had also thought of that, but did not go far enough. Looking in the Social Security Death Index, I found her cousin’s grandfather had died in a town the family had never lived in, to our knowledge. Why was he there? I found his tombstone in the county the SSI had listed. How do I find the names of the two daughters who probably he left

behind? I needed the obituary. A Google search for the county obituaries lead me to the county library. I discovered the library had an index of the obituaries in that county and had included it on their website! Sure enough, the one I needed was in the index; Susan just needed to send for the copy. Within a few days, she had the obituary of her cousin’s grandfather, listing his survivors, including a granddaughter, her married name and where she was living. With this information, it was easy to find her address and phone number. One phone call later, families were reunited and a visit was planned. This was not hard to solve, it just took a fresh set of eyes and research methods to find another way to get around that wall.

WINE

August 2013

The essence of pinot noir

he ubiquitous pinot noir is, bar none, my favorite wine.

It’s everywhere, yet strangely enigmatic, with its many hues of red and variations in flavor. No matter, it is an easy-to-drink wine and goes with many dishes, making it a popular, and often affordable, table wine. Appreciating it and enjoying it are two different beasts, though, and will do well to understand the intricacies behind this drink before really tucking into it. The flavors are frequently inconsistent because the grapes of pinot are so easily manipulated. They require cool pockets of weather and, until recently, were limited primarily to Burgundy, France. However, California, Oregon and New Zealand have had great successes. Even a limited African showing has appeared on the market, alongside other unusual

geographies. Although the history involved in the French rendering of wine is a tough beat to match, Russian Valley wines (Sonoma) has made a great showing in particular. The skins of pinot grapes are especially thin and susceptible to alteration (think pinot gris and pinot blanc), making them versatile, but difficult to maintain. Even the vines themselves are prone to disease. However, if grown in a cool climate and given time to ripen slowly, the grapes develop the complexities and deep ruby color that give pinot a good name. When it comes time to ferment, purists use whole grapes, in addition to crushed grapes to main-

tain a fruity and balanced flavor. As to the flavor, well, this is what often confuses the wine taster. The color can be misleading, as lighter reds can pack a fruity punch. Young reds have a rich spectrum, lending hints of raspberry, plum and black cherries. Aging extends from two to eight years, depending on the wine; my husband prefers the older and deeper reds, which bare forth a heavier body and an earthy wine. The drink is reminiscent of an autumn walk through a heavily wooded forest. The words pinot (pine) and noir (black) are fitting to this drink. It’s thicker, softer and deeper than the bottle from two years ago, with a long, blanketing finish that stays on your tongue. Now, you recall, I said it pairs well with many foods? This is not a cabernet that sticks with red meat, nor is it a white that necessitates poultry or fish. This wine will com-

plement anything from a Delmonico steak to grilled salmon, making stops at pork and chicken along the way. I would stay away from citrus or vinegar-based dishes (i.e. piccata or fish tacos) and barbecue will overwhelm the palate of this wine. Another consideration is the sweetness of this wine. It is not a dessert wine, by any definition, but it will clash with sweet fruit dishes. Aside from that, the world is at your feet. Keep a bottle or two athand, and you are well prepared for the unexpected dinner guest or that rainy night when you just want to treat yourself! Audrey Gardner is a native Wisconsinite, whose pilgrimage to Vero Beach has allowed her to broaden her palate from the traditional cheese, beer and beef of her home state to the wealth of flavors the rest of the world has to offer.

DINING By Cathy Wharton For Forever Young

HOMETOWN NEWS

Plantation Bar and Grill: Par excellence you’ll find anywhere. My guest and I arrived at the Plantation on a late Tuesday afternoon. Our first impression: Surprise. The exterior was frankly less than impressive, but then we also had no idea what was inside. Entering the restaurant we were warmly greeted by a charming young lady, who, as it turned out, would also be our server. The front room was casual and spacious. It had ample seating, a bar and two televisions. As I was quickly trying to figure out what we might order, the young lady gestured towards the back of the restaurant, stating they had other dining areas. She then escorted us to a completely different venue. We entered a small dining room appropriately called “The Loop,” which had paintings of old Florida See DINING, Page 14

If you’re looking for a great place to dine that registers somewhere between “surprising and amazing” on your “gotta go there” scale, look no further than the Plantation Bar and Grill north of Ormond Beach. Just getting to the Plantation is part of the fun. Though the quickest route is Interstate 95, the most scenic is the “Loop” — the beautiful and revered by-way that includes Beach Street through Tomoka State Park and Old Dixie Highway, winding through miles of graceful old oaks and placid bayous. The “loop route” eventually takes a sharp turn west towards its completion and that’s where you find a Publix shopping center. Tucked between a row of shops is the Plantation — and one of the best dining experiences

on the walls and lighted candle holders on the tables. Since we were relatively early, we had our choice of tables. We chose one in the middle so as to see the décor all around. A halfwall separates the “Loop” from the “Bistro,” a smaller dining room with walls adorned by a handful of colorful French paintings. A third dining

room, entered from the “Bistro,” is the “Verona,” a more intimate dining area, and perfect for private gatherings. As my guest and I settled in, our server, Brittany, noting our look of surprise, told us “a lot of first time customers have unexpected surprise.” She then brought us menus, including a complete list of wines. Soon the manager, Megan Morinelli, came to our table, greeted us warmly, and told us the menu, which is quite large, is their new summer menu — just out this past week. Since it was happy hour, we opted for the “two for one.” We started with a “King Estate” pinot grigio, then tried the “Stump Jump” shiraz. Both were excellent. Brittany offered some sliced bread accompanied by a dipping sauce of clarified butter, olive oil, honey and spices. After taking our time perusing the extensive menu of appetizers, soups and salads, pasta dishes, sea selec-

tions, house favorites and the Plantation’s signature burgers, we were ready to order. My guest ordered two appetizers: The pan-seared fresh lump crab cake served over roasted red pepper sauce; and Scallops Rockefeller — sea scallops over a bed of fresh sauteed spinach, topped with a parmesan-bacon cream sauce. I also chose the crab cake appetizer; plus the Greek Market Salad, lightly mixed with their signature Greek dressing and served in a deep-dish bowl. Everything we tried was delicious and expertly prepared. After all, the Plantation Bar and Grill has an expert chef, Casey Ford, formerly of La Crepe and Rose Villa. “Everything is made from scratch,” Kendrick Roberson, the assistant manager told us. Though I seldom go for desserts, this time was an exception. The selections were Crème Brulee, New York-style cheesecake, Oreo Mousse

August 2013

and Wild Berry Crepe — all made in house by Chef Casey. After a brief contemplation of “Do you think we should,” my guest and I decided to try the Crème Brulee and split the tasty rewards. Mr. Roberson, who’s been with the restaurant since it first opened three years ago, is dedicated to the success of the business. Referring to the manager, Ms. Morinelli, he said, “Megan was the little angel that came in — she does a good job. We really appreciate her.” Indeed, this eating establishment has all the right ingredients: Comfortable ambience, excellent food and great service.
