f you are among those who spend their summers in our Florida melting pot, you know you are in for a daily dose of heat, humidity, thunderstorms, frizzy hair and endless attacks by those little suckers that can bite faster than you can swat.

You tread carefully so as not to slip on the bright green algae that grows on sidewalks, patios and pool decks–and to avoid those fire ants from hell.

And you are well aware that our summers like to hang around for a long, long time. At least until October. Sometimes through December.

But perhaps our biggest summer and fall challenges are the hurricanes that may come knocking at our door anytime between now and November. Are you prepared?

In the past couple of years, Florida has experienced two devastating hurricanes: last year’s Cat 5 hurricane, Michael, and Irma, which covered the whole state in 2017.

Threats include not only high winds but also storm surges that can result in catastrophic damage. After the storm, power may not be restored for days or weeks.

If you elect to stay during a hurricane, make sure you have a three- to five-day supply of water for everyone in the household along with non-perishable snacks and food items (don’t forget the can opener). Fill your car tank with gas and your wallet with cash. Have at least one month’s supply of medicine and plenty of batteries for flashlights, hand-held fans and cell phone chargers.

Other things that will no doubt come in handy include rubber boots, baby wipes (for personal hygiene), antibacterial wipes (for cleaning surfaces), a first-aid kit, pillows and sleeping bags. Don’t forget to provide for the needs of pets, elders and babies too.

Try to eat up your perishables at the first sign of a hurricane and freeze water bottles to help keep the refrigerator cool in case of a power outage. Pick up any items in your yard that

could become flying missiles.

We wish you a tranquil hurricane season, but if that’s not the case, we wish you success in your preparations and safety should the storm arrive.

In the meantime, enjoy our July issue as we take a nostalgic 50-year-look-back at the first moon landing and other happenings in the summer of 1969. Columnist Michael Wright lends his offbeat humor to the subject and film critic Randal Hill previews the new flick, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, in which Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio team up for a story set in 1969 Los Angeles.

Susan Goldfein puts AOL shaming to rest and David Novak pens about potential legislative changes to 401(k)s. Then Kathy Megyeri rounds it all out with an overview of the new Statue of Liberty Museum.

Trip to New York City anyone?

Rocketmen

Fifty years ago, these astronauts took a historic moonwalk on a dusty orb

By RANDAL C. HILL

B

y the early 1960s, America was trailing the Soviet Union in space development. This undoubtedly played a part in President John F. Kennedy’s appeal on May 25, 1961, to a special joint session of Congress when he pronounced, “I believe this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to Earth.”

Eight years later, at Florida’s Kennedy Space Center on the morning of July 16, 1969, Apollo 11 thundered off the launch pad in a billowy cloud of smoke, destined for immortality. Neil Armstrong, a 38-year-old civilian research pilot, led the three-man crew, which also consisted of Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, 39, and MiNASA chael Collins, 38.

Media coverage naturally focused on the astronauts, move burned fuel, already running but the total numdangerously low. ber of scientists, The Eagle finally settled onto the engineers, service moon’s Sea of Tranquility with only and construction 25 seconds of fuel left.

Aldrin followed Armstrong 19 minutes later, being hours later. However, when Armstrong prepared to set the craft down, he realized that boulders and craters careful not to lock the Eagle’s hatch, as there was no were posing a potential hazard, so he maneuvered outer handle—and no roadside assistance number to it to a flatter, safer place nearby. Unfortunately, that call 240,000 miles away.

Lifestyles After 50 • Sarasota/Manatee • July 2019 • page 6

The pair spent 21 hours and 36 minutes—almost a f u l l day—on the moon. They stayed in the Eagle for over six hours after they landed and took frequent breaks when they walked on the surface. The thermally cooled underwear they wore inside their spacesuits helped them fend off the potentially lethal 200-degree Fahrenheit lunar surface temperatures.

Following NASA’s directive, Armstrong and Aldrin loaded nearly 50 pounds of moon rocks and soil into the Eagle, took photographs and conducted tests. The hardest task then facing the two was the planting of the American flag. The moon’s surface was rockhard, and the astronauts only managed to hammer Old Glory a few inches into the surface, where it subsequently fell over from the Eagle’s takeoff blast.

Besides the American flag, the NASA astronauts left behind several other items, including a plaque that read: “Here men from the planet Earth first set foot on the moon – July 1969 A.D. – We came in peace for all mankind.”

When returning to the lunar module, Aldrin accidentally tripped the circuit breaker used to activate the main engine; after a moment of panic, though, he was able to push the switch back into the correct position with a felt-tip pen.

Armstrong and Aldrin reconnected successfully with Collins and Columbia, and on July 22, Apollo 11 began its journey home, safely splashing into the Pacific Ocean two days later. It’s estimated that over 550 million people worldwide followed the historymaking event on television.

To date, the U.S. is the only country that has had successful crewed missions (six of them) to the moon. The last one was in 1972. Other countries have placed unmanned spacecraft on the lunar surface.

NASA plans to put the first woman and the next man on the moon in 2024. The mission is named Artemis, after the Greek goddess of the moon and twin sister of the god Apollo.

“I think it is very beautiful that 50 years after Apollo, the Artemis program will carry the next man and the first woman to the moon,” announced NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine. “I have a daughter who is 11 years old, and I want her to be able to see herself in the same role as the next women that go to the moon.”

Sweet Adelines Announces New Director

agic of Manatee, the Bradenton chapter of Sweet Adelines, has appointed Stephen Ditchfield as the new choral director.

He takes over for the previous director of over 30 years, Lois Van Beek, who resigned due to health issues. (She’ll still be singing from the risers.)

Ditchfield lives with his family of accomplished singers in the Sarasota area where he became director of the 100-man Sarasota Chorus of the Keys. They won the Sunshine District 2004 Chorus Championship, and for the first time in the chapter’s history, qualified to compete in the 2005 International Chorus Competition where they scored among the top 30 choruses in the world.

The Sweet Adelines, a four-part women’s harmony group, welcomes guests and prospective new members to watch rehearsals every Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. at Bradenton Christian School, 3304 43rd St. W., Bradenton.

‘The Statue of Liberty: The Monumental Dream’

The untold story of Lady Liberty’s conception, restoration and iconic importance in the world, drawn from the collections and documents that are on display in the brand-new Statue of Liberty Museum.

T

Text by Robert Belot with preface by Diane Von Furstenberg, published by Rizzoli Electa, 2019, 208 pp.

Good News

imed to publish with the opening of the brand-new Statue of Liberty Museum, this official book, published by Rizzoli Electa in conjunction with the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation, shares Lady Liberty’s impressive backstory through archival images, maps, text and breathtaking photos.

This beautiful keepsake book will dazzle readers as they learn about the 450,000-pound copper statue (now patinaed to a blue-green), a gift from the people of France. Designed

by French sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi with assistance from Gustave Eiffel (who built the iconic Paris tower), it soars 305-feet into the air over New York Harbor.

The robed neoclassical sculpture, which draws more than four million visitors a year to Liberty Island, holds a torch above her head with her right hand and, in her left, carries a tablet inscribed with Roman numerals depicting July 4, 1776, the date of the Declaration of Independence. A broken shackle and chain are at her feet, memorializing the abolition of slavery.

Lady Liberty has since become an icon of freedom, a national park tourism destination and a welcoming beacon to millions of immigrants. She has been the site of political rallies and demonstrations and is featured in many movies.

But she was harder to conceive than most people realize.

Bartholdi struggled for years to raise enthusiasm and money for his future dream gal in America. It took the help of friend Edouard de Laboulaye (who wished to celebrate the emancipation of four million slaves in the U.S.) and Joseph Pulitzer, publisher of the New York World, to make it all happen.

Finally, in 1885, the statue arrived from France in 350 pieces; it took a year to assemble. President Grover Cleveland dedicated it in 1886 (after 15 minutes of applause from massive crowds) speaking of the light held aloft which “illumines the way to man’s enfranchisement.”

President Ronald Reagan rededicated the monument 100 years later on July 4, 1986, after a multi-million-dollar restoration that included a new torch and flame.

Now, the new $100 million museum, paid for by private donations, celebrates this statue which is held dear by people everywhere. Whether or not you can personally visit the Lady and see her museum, you will surely enjoy this glossy and informative gem of a book which details an important chapter in our country’s history.

‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’ July Film

By RANDAL C. HILL

I

n his ninth movie offering, Quentin Tarantino takes us back to August 1969 with this nostalgic, if somewhat silly, buddy comedy successfully folded into a twisted take on the Charles Manson murders. Tarantino proudly describes his stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt as, “the most exciting star dynamic duo since Robert Redford and Paul Newman.”

DiCaprio plays Rick Dalton, a washedup, alcoholic, TV cowboy and action star whose smug confidence covers up a world of self-doubts. Dalton is marooned in the City of Angels with his only friend, stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt), an easygoing and simple soul who hides a

terrible secret of which he may or may not be guilty. A series of DUIs has cost Dalton his driver’s license, so he is dependent upon Booth to chauffeur him around. Along the way, Booth delivers pep talks as the fading star sheds boozy tears of self-pity.

Tarantino’s script, which he worked on for five years, has Dalton renting a Beverly Hills-area mansion on upscale Cielo Drive and living next door to a golden show-biz couple, Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie) and Roman Polanski (Rafal Zawierucha). Tate, a little-known actress of ethereal beauty, becomes a fleeting but well-developed character in Tarantino’s hands.

In the meantime, charismatic wacko Charles Manson (Damon Herriman) has trained his collection of luscious acolytes to spend their days on Sunset Boulevard amassing money, food and attention.

Dalton dismisses the provocatively dressed teens as hippie trash, but Booth becomes intrigued enough to offer a ride home to Pussycat (Margaret Qualley), a

Plan for your future with help from Morgan Stanley’s Overton What does my full financial picture look like? When can I retire? How do I make sure my assets pass from one generation to the next?

Throughout his financial advisor career, Steve Overton, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNERTM (CFP®) of Morgan Stanley has helped his clients answer these types of questions – and many more – to guide them toward their respective financial goals.

“When I meet with clients and prospects, I explore a broad range of topics that are likely to influence their financial futures, from their families and career aspirations to education expenses and retirement,” explained Overton, who has been named Portfolio Management Director and First Vice President

by Morgan Stanley. “What I learn becomes the foundation for a financial and investment strategy based on the individual, not a Wall Streetprovided ‘one size fits all’ solution.”

Once Overton has prescribed a carefully considered and suitable solution, he revises the plan over time to reflect new goals and priorities, which helps the plan keep pace with changes in the marketplace as life unfolds. Operating from an office in New Tampa and also meeting clients in Sun City Center, Overton additionally focuses on cash flow analysis, retirement planning and funding, college funding, insurance and annuities.

Longtime Tampa Bay-area residents will likely recognize Overton from the popular consumer investigative news segment “Eight on Your Side” on local NBC-affiliate WFLA-TV 8, which he joined in 1983. In his awardwinning, 22-year run in journalism, Overton spent 19 successful years working in broadcast television.

“With ‘Eight on Your Side,’ what I gravitated toward was the greatest risk – what’s the worst thing that can happen?,” he shared. “There are some parallels in what I do at Morgan Stanley. We assess the things that can go wrong and try to address those

With its irresistible blend of hip-swiveling hits, eye-popping fashions and outrageous dance moves, SHOUT! The Mod Musical takes audiences back to the music, style and freedom of the 1960s. Created by Phillip George and David Lowenstein, SHOUT! features terrific new arrangements of such classic tunes as “To Sir with Love,� “Downtown,� “Son of a Preacher Man� and “These Boots Were Made for Walkin.’� The songs in this delightful musical resonate with a timeless quality that appeals to every generation.

June 5 at 7:30pm celebrate The Players’ Artistic Managing Director’s birthday!

Age is just a number, and we’re ready to party with songs, sketches and dances.

The night wouldn’t be complete without a champagne toast. The whole affair is a fundraiser for The Players and sure to be a memorable night.

July 23 to 28, catch the premier of The Wonder of Our Stage by local playwright Monica Cross, the winner of the 2018 Players New Play Festival. This brandnew play – directed by Candace Artim – is a thrilling look at the Elizabethan era and the idea that William Shakespeare was actually an automaton that was built and created to please the queen.

To purchase tickets or subscriptions for our 90th Broadway season, call The Players Centre for Performing Arts Box Office at 941-365-2494 or visit our website at theplayers.org. Feel free to visit us in person at 838 N. Tamiami Trail, Sarasota, FL 34236.

Social Security News Financial “Best Practices”

N

ow that the first half of 2019 is nearly over, it’s a good time to evaluate some financial “best practices” for the rest of the year. Achieving the dream of a secure, comfortable retirement is much easier with a strong financial plan.

Social Security’s online retirement planning resources are helpful to people at any stage of their career. Find the Benefit Eligibility Screening Tool and other resources at socialsecurity.gov/planners. From there, you can read and download publications and also share information with others. Remember, the earlier you start, the better chance you have at saving what you need.

Many people ask, “What’s the best age to start receiving retirement benefits?”

The answer is that there’s no single “best age” for everyone and, ultimately, it’s your choice. The most important thing is to make an informed decision based on your individual and family circumstances. To help you make that decision, find retirement publications at socialsecurity.gov/pubs/?topic=Retirement.

Knowing the amount of money you could receive is pivotal in planning your finances. With the Retirement Estimator you can plug in some basic information to get an instant, personalized estimate of your future benefits. Try out different scenarios such as higher or lower future earnings amounts and various retirement dates to see the various potential effects on your future benefit amounts. Visit socialsecurity.gov/benefits/retirement/estimator.html.

Last Month’s Answers

O

Summer of ’69

ne of my favorite songs this time of year is rocker Bryan Adams’ Summer of ’69 which came out in 1984. Those were the “best days of his life,” or so he sang in his up-tempo song about rock and romance.

Oh, and when you held my hand I knew that it was now or never Those were the best days of my life The song was readily embraced by baby boomers who looked at it as a nostalgic, coming-of-age tribute. But Adams was only nine years old in 1969 and I wonder if he was really aware of the world around him.

That summer brought us the first widely-released X-rated movie, Midnight Cowboy, which I personally thought was a downer, especially when Jon Voight had to sit next to Dustin Hoffman’s dead body on a bus ride to Florida. And I didn’t appreciate when one of Captain Kirk’s former lovers stole his body on the last episode of Star Trek. That was just weird.

We were over the moon when the Apollo 11 crew won the space war with the first lunar landing. But the Charles Manson murders and Sen. Ted Kennedy’s drunken drive into the Chappaquiddick River with Mary Jo Kopechne shook us to our core.

And things couldn’t get any more bizarre than Woodstock in August.

True love eluded me that summer when I made one of the biggest mistakes of my life: my first wife. But I surely dig Adams’ tribute to his first six-string guitar, which he bought at the five-and-dime.

My grandma gave me my first guitar when I was 13 because I wanted to be Elvis when I grew up. I went on to attend the Berklee College of Music in Boston but ended up going into electronics profession after my Navy days.

Okay so I never became Elvis or Buddy Holly or “Fats” Domino but I did get fat. And old dreams never die so I am currently putting together my garage band, Tapeworm Belch and the Leprosy Snort, and I’m looking for members.

So far, I’ve got Mel Anoma on skins, but keyboard and bass are open. And there’s always room for more cowbell. If you play, drop me a line.

I’m sure stardom awaits us, or at the very least, we might be able to supplement our monthly government pittance.

Join Mike’s bandwagon at micwrighthamo@gmail.com and the NEXT years will be the best years of our lives!
