A Word From Your Recreation District Chair

Trustee

Artist of the month Marion Slaipoh

For as she can remember, Marion Slaipoh was interested in art. A lot of her inspi-ration came from her Uncle Ralph, who had a natural talent for drawing and painting.

While living in Pittsburgh, where Marion grew up, she took classes at Carnegie Museum of Art. These classes were given by Joseph Fitzpatrick, who also taught Andy Warhol. She also took courses at Allegheny Community College for acrylic painting.

Upon moving to Barefoot Bay, 15 years ago, Marion started taking water color classes from Vaughn Heffren. She joined the Barefoot Bay Artist Guild and has been a proud member for 14 years, Marion has sold many of her paintings at the annual “Art from the Heart” show and has won several ribbons for her work.

She is the director of the Barefoot Bay Art Group that meets every Monday from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, in Building E. Her phone number is in the Barefoot Bay tele-phone directory under Art Group, if anyone is interested.

Items of interest from recent Board of Trustee meetings:

Covid re-opening plan—As part of our efforts to open facilities, Food and Beverage will resume weeknight entertainment outside of the Lounge at Lakeside. This will start on April 22 and will consist of Thursday night Karaoke with additional events planned based on participation and demand by residents. Evening events will include bar service only. In addition, building usage will expand to include 75% occupancy effec-tive May 1. This will also include opening the Billiards Room and the Card Room.

Purchase of vacant land for RV lot—the BOT authorized staff to contact the owner of vacant land south of the Micco RV lot to see if we could purchase this land for an additional RV lot. This would add needed storage for residents and the revenue generated would far outweigh the cost of lot preparation. As of April 9, staff had no response to their letter or phone calls to the owner.

Florida Department of Transportation—The FDOT has pro-posed improvements on U.S. 1 from the Brevard/Indian River County line north to Goat Creek in Grant-Valkaria. In addi-tion to resurfacing U.S. 1, they will also improve pedestrian crossings, sidewalk construction, guardrail upgrades and they will eliminate the southbound right-hand turn lane into Barefoot Boulevard. The FDOT will coordinate activities with BBRD staff to minimize disruptions dur-ing any traffic closures. This project is scheduled to begin in the fall of 2021.

Townhall Meetings—At the March 23 regular BOT meeting Trustees agreed to hold Townhall Meetings to discuss current issues with Barefoot Bay resi-dents. At this time residents can contact Trustees individually or they can speak to agenda items and other issues of impor-tance during Audience Participation at

regular BOT meetings. The problem is that, during Audience Participation at a regular BOT meeting, there is no back-and-forth or discussion about issues with Trustees. At a Townhall Meeting a resi-dent can have a dialogue with Trustees. The schedule for Townhall Meetings will be Thursday April 29, 1 p.m., Thursday July 29, 7 p.m., and Thursday October 28, 9a.m.

2022 Budget Workshop—The BOT agreed not to move forward with the Lounge Expansion project based on the proposed one-million-dollar loan. The 2022 Budget still contains funding for the heater building/pool pit reconstruc-tion which will provide additional space for seating, and the BOT agreed to investigate making smaller improve-ments such as an outside bar, awnings, and a mobile kitchen trailer. The BOT also agreed to defund the Beach Pavilion Project (not the Beach Restroom Project) and to use those funds towards Lounge improvements. The new Management Analyst position, which was recently removed from the SDS Contract, will now be included in the Employee Pay and Classification Plan and will be an in-house position employed directly by BBRD. The position will be filled as soon as a qualified candidate can be found. The BOT and staff continue to work on the 2022 budget which must be approved prior to June 30, 2021. Residents who have questions or concerns about the budget can attend any budget workshop and express those concerns.

No Parking Common Areas—For months, the BOT has discussed ways to discourage residents from parking automobiles on grassy Common Areas of Barefoot Bay. The Board of Trustees has been granted authority by the Charter to manage all common areas of Barefoot Bay. One of the regulations passed by the BOT is that there shall be no parking of automobiles on grassy areas. The two most abused areas of concern are near the Pickle Ball/Tennis Courts and along Hawthorn Circle behind the shopping center. In an effort to curtail parking in these areas, the BOT authorized staff to install bollards and rope fencing along the curbing at these sites. Hopefully, resi-dents will be proactive and will not park vehicles on any grassy common areas in Barefoot Bay. It would be unfortunate if we had to go to one of the other options presented to the Board, which included towing vehicles at owner’s expense.

On a personal note. All the above paragraphs were typed before I had shoulder surgery. Today I realized this article was due on the 16th. So, because I can’t type one-handed this is it, short and sweet.

In response to conflicts between homeowners along East Lake and remote control (RC) boat enthusiasts, the BOT asked staff to develop recommendations for where and when the RC Boats can operate. One suggestion was the west-ern part (by lawn bowling and miniature golf course) of the Building A lake. To enable everyone’s input to be considered,

residents may email the Community Manager ([email protected]) or drop off written suggestions at the Administration Building by close of business April 16, 2021. All comments (which have the author’s name and address contained within it) will be listed as part of the ap- pendices of the April 27, 2021 BOT Meeting agenda item.

Barefoot Bay’s 50th Anniversary CelebrationThe must attend event of 2021 is quickly approaching. A group of residents are

working with staff to plan a full day of activities for Saturday, July 3, 2021. Weather permitting, BBRD’s annual Independence Week fireworks celebration will light up the Community Center. The planning group is meeting regularly. They have received interest from many clubs, and if you haven’t already, outdoor activity clubs (such as Tennis, Pickle Ball, Bocci) who would like to participate should contact Dianne Carey at dianecareyste- [email protected], and the ethnic/regional clubs may contact Tom O’Donnell at [email protected].

A Word From Your

U.S. RepresentativeBy Congressman Bill Posey

With all the noise in Washington, sometimes it’s easy to miss the impor-tant work being done in Congress to benefit our communities. I would like to take some time to share with you a few of my initiatives I have been working on recently.

Understanding COVID-19— With so much loss of life, wealth, and livelihoods resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, I believe it is essential to discover the origins of and study the U.S. response to the pandemic. While there are simi-lar studies from the WHO and others, I happen to believe the American people deserve an independent, bipartisan inqui-ry free of any outside influence or biases. That’s why I have introduced legislation to provide for a 9/11 style commission that will, among other things, investigate China’s lack of transparency, the origins of the virus, and America’s using taxpay-er dollars to fund China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).

The independent commission will also seek to answer questions about our nation’s response to the pandemic, examine the effectiveness of different medical interventions, and study how best to leverage national efforts to pre-vent another pandemic of this scale in the future.

While we have certainly learned at some level to limit the spread and vac-cinate against illness, what we do know about the pandemic is greatly overshad-owed by what is still uncertain. If we want to prevent horrific events like this in the future, then we need to have clear answers to all these questions, and the COVID-19 commission is an essential step as we investigate and learn.

Supporting Local Jobs & Businesses— Coronavirus-related travel restrictions and shutdowns continue to impact our economy, especially businesses and workers in the hospitality and tourism industry. To help support these jobs, I reintroduced bipartisan legislation to assist the hotel and tourism industry by requiring the federal government to ensure that when federal employees

and contractors stay at our local hotels, the hotels are not penalized because of COVID-19. This builds on the success of my 2020 efforts, working with federal government agencies to freeze per diem rates to pre-pandemic levels. Past eco-nomic crises show it can take years for the hotel and travel industry and their employees to recover to previous lev-els. This is one important way that the federal government can help struggling businesses and their employees recover faster.

Protecting Our Indian River Lagoon— Estuaries, like our Indian River Lagoon, are not only the most diverse ecosys-tems in the country, home to many interesting and important species, their health is integral to the success of our communities because they support local jobs and provide recreation for our fami-lies. Because estuaries are places where freshwater mixes with saltwater from the oceans, preserving this delicate balance is necessary, and sometimes challeng-ing. To that end, I have reintroduced my bipartisan legislation to study and better understand coastal acidification’s effect on estuaries and better mitigate its effects in the future.

As your representative in Congress, I will continue to fight for commonsense ideas that help serve our communities. If you need assistance with a federal agency, please do not hesitate to call my local office at (321) 632-1776.

A Word From Your

CVO OFFICERS

It’s exciting to be able to write about new things happening in Barefoot Bay! So, I will write this in the order of upcom-ing dates to remember!

FIRST, we have a correction to make. The annual “Meet N Greet the Management Team” was scheduled for May 13, but it has been changed to Wednesday evening, May 12. This is an evening for residents to come out and meet your Management Team of the Bay, as well as your Board of Trustees. This event will be held outside at the Lakeside Stage beginning at 6:00 p.m. This year we have asked the clubs of Barefoot Bay to come out early and stage themselves around the area so that they are available to residents that might be interested in participating in their club membership. At 7 p.m. the presenta-tion of and by Management will begin. Cookies and lemonade will be offered, so please don’t hesitate to join us. This is a great time to educate yourself as to how we are run here in the Bay and put a “face to the name”.

SECOND DATE TO REMEMBER: Sunday, June 27, 2021! Barefoot by the Lake Car Show kicks off the 50th Golden Anniversary of the Bay! Our own Holy Cannoli will be the sponsor for this family fun event. The show begins at 10 a.m. and ends at 3 p.m. If you have never come out to this event before, you are missing out on good food, music, fun vendors and amazing cars, trucks and motorcycles! Come out and participate in raffles, shop for gifts, munch on lunch provided by Holy Cannoli and make sure you vote for the People’s Choice Award. We will be under the oaks, along the walking trail near the Administration Building.

If you are interested in entering a vehicle for the show, please call the CVO Office at 772-663-0633 and we can email an application, or you can stop in and pick one up. The entry fee is $15 per

vehicle until June 21st. After the 21st and the day of the event, the fee will be $20 per car.

THIRD DATE TO REMEMBER: Saturday, July 3, 2021. Believe it or not, as young as we feel, Barefoot Bay will be celebrating a 50th Golden Anniversary! A big day is planned, beginning with a golf outing, competitions/demonstrations of mini golf, shuffleboard, tennis, pickle ball, horseshoes and bocci. Start plan-ning now for the Golf Cart and Bicycle Parade and make sure you are in the competition for best “patriotic” or “anni-versary” decorated cart or bicycle! Wait till you see the history that is being gath-ered for Building A, along with artisans and crafts. The day is going to rock with music, food, and Barefoot fun, and end with 9 p.m. fireworks!

LAST AND NOT THE LEAST DATE: Saturday, October 16th, Color Our World Cancer-Free! We will be sponsoring our annual cancer walk by beginning the day with Joanne’s Jaunt. Two years ago, we held this walk at the sugges-tion of our own Barefoot Bay Pool Host, Joanne Diana. Joanne was our Honorary Chair, and the Bay proudly presented the American Cancer Society of Brevard County with over $19,000. Sad to say, Joanne lost her battle with this disease, but the CVO intends to honor her memo-ry annually and call their walk “Joanne’s Jaunt.” Saturday, October 16, Color Our World Cancer-Free will begin its event with the community by starting the day with “Joanne’s Jaunt.” We hope to have the Bay honor ALL who battle cancer and will join us in “Joanne’s Jaunt” on the walking path under the oaks. The plan is to include all the colors that represent the different battles of cancer. So, start think-ing about your teams, and let’s make this another heartwarming day in the Bay! Keep your ear to the ground for more information in the future!

Grace Cormier of Puffin Drive, Barefoot Bay is seen with her artwork at the Spring Fling Art Show, which was held at the Sebastian River Moose Lodge located at 9250 U.S. Highway 1, Micco, on April 25. Her eclectic and unique work includes paintings in acrylic and mixed media; recycled silk wall hangings; textile art; flower sculptures; abstract table sculptures made from silk, wool, and organic and vintage objects of interest; lavender scented silk sachet carrots, pillows, and other organic objects; and paper assemblage art. All who attended the show got a chance to win a prize in the free “Entrance Egg Drawing.” Other artists participating in the show displayed works in oil, acrylics, watercolors, mixed media, and fabric and stationary art.

1. Medicare: Late Enrollment Penalties (LEP)

2. Affordable Care Act3. FraudFirst, Late Enrollment Penalties. You

could receive an LEP for Part A, Part B, or Part D. Part D is where most people become aware of LEPs. LEPs come into play when beneficiaries do not sign up for Medicare when they become eligible.

Let’s talk about Part A, Original Medicare hospital insurance, first. If the beneficiary does not qualify for premium-free Part A and you don’t buy Part A when you are first eligible, you may be charged a penalty equal to twice the number of years that you didn’t sign up. So, if you were eligible for 5 years but did not sign up you may pay the 10% penalty for 10 years.

There are exceptions to the above statement. The exception used most often is that the beneficiary was covered by employer group coverage based on their or their spouse’s current employ-ment. This is an example of one excep-tion.

Part B, out-patient insurance, has a penalty that is calculated similar to Part A. If the beneficiary is assigned a LEP, it will most likely be paid every month as long as the beneficiary keeps Part B. Again, there are exceptions.

Part D, prescription drug insurance. Beneficiaries may owe a penalty if, at

any time after their initial enrollment period, there is a period of 63 consecu-tive days or more when he/she did not have credible drug coverage. As true for Parts A and B, there are exceptions for Part D. Please notice the phrase “credible coverage”, it is very important.

Also, you may appeal any decision made by Medicare. If you would like clar-ification, contact your Medicare agent, call Lynn or Nan, or, contact Medicare directly.

The Affordable Care Act has an addi-tional enrollment period this year! The enrollment period ends August 15. If you have questions, call your healthcare agent, or, call us!

As we have mentioned before, fraud is a problem, especially for those over 65. These fraudsters seem to think we all stopped thinking when we turned 65. Please be aware that unscrupulous peo-ple can purchase lists of names that may include your address, phone number, age, and maybe a guess at your annual income. If you receive a call or text say-ing there is something wrong with your Amazon account, or any other account, don’t call back on the number they pro-vided. Call the number you have for the account in question. We are receiving calls, texts, and emails regularly from people who are trying to commit fraud, do not help them!

Q – What is the Indian Child Welfare Act, and how does it work?

A - Congress enacted the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) in 1978 to pro-tect Native American culture and tribal integrity from the unnecessary removal of Native American children across the nation by state child welfare agencies. The ICWA gives Native American trib-al councils a strong voice concerning Native American child custody proceed-ings, and provides exclusive jurisdic-tion over Native American children who reside on an established Native American reservation. Concurrent jurisdiction over foster care placement proceedings for Native American children not residing or domiciled on an established Native American reservation is also provided by the ICWA.

The ICWA was enacted in 1978 because of the disproportionally high rate of forced removal of Native American children from their traditional homes and culture. Congress cited four pri-mary factors contributing to the high rates of Native American child removal by state child welfare agencies – social conditions, economic incentives favor-ing removal of children, systematic due process violations against children and parents in state court proceedings, and a clash of cultural value systems.

The “manifest best interests of the child” is the traditional measuring stick in child welfare proceedings. The ICWA recognizes that the interests of tribal stability are vital, and share equal impor-tance with the best interests of the child. Because of the culture clash between Native America and non-Native America, what may usually be considered in the manifest best interests of the non-Native American children in state dependency court may not necessarily be considered in the best interests of children of Native American ancestry.

As an example, the common Native American practice of child care by extended family relatives clashes with the common state notion of parents raising

their own children, and was often viewed as child abandonment. But traditional tribal culture defined care by extend-ed family members to be very desir-able behavior intended to ensure Native American children were not only properly cared for, but also exposed to cultural influences from multi-generational tribal members.

The ICWA has been vetted by the United States Supreme Court and deter-mined to be constitutional. It is the law of the land, and applies to all state depen-dency court proceedings involving Native American children. These proceedings are defined as child shelter with foster care placement, termination of paren-tal rights, pre-adoptive placement and adoptions.

The ICWA does not apply to child custody issues which arise during divorce proceedings, nor does the ICWA apply to cases of juvenile delinquency when the unlawful act committed by the child would be considered a crime if commit-ted by an adult.

The ICWA requires state dependency court judges to inquire at the initial child shelter hearing if either parent has Native American ancestry. If so, the tribal affili-ation is determined and timely notice is provided to the tribal council. The deci-sion whether or not to transfer the depen-dency case to tribal court is made by the tribal council, and not by the Native American parents.

The tribal council decision not to intervene and transfer case jurisdiction is often influenced by the size, orga-nization and prosperity of the Native American tribe. Many times the tribal council declines to exercise ICWA juris-diction and accept transfer of a state court dependency case due to a lack of tribal funding for programs necessary to support the children and parents at the tribal level, but which do exist at the state dependency court level.

Some of the best help a Veteran can get is from other Veterans. We all share a common bond. We understand the sacrifices our Military in uniform make every day. With being away from family and loved ones while serving our country.

There are Veterans in need out there and we feel it’s our duty to assist our fel-low brothers and sisters in any way we can. From helping the homeless vets, to giving any assistance we can. We do this strictly as a volunteer.

The Veterans Council realizes that fel-low Veterans are out there that have it much worse. So you might be interested in serving our Veterans and their families let us know.

With all that said. We need to have drivers to take a veteran to an appoint-ment. Our Van service is down right now. And people have appointments but no way to get to them.

If you need a ride to Viera for an appointment please call 207-442-7434 between 0800 and 1700 (5pm) and let me know. Please though if you have

alternate means of transportation please use it. This will be for people who really are in need of a ride. Please know I will get back to you as soon as I can. This is not the VAN but private citizens helping other citizens.

Example: If you are too old to drive and usually take the van. If you have an appointment. If you are without transpor-tation at the moment car broke down or no license.

If you are too sick please call an ambulance. Volunteers do not have prop-er ways to deal with illness or decontami-nate there vehicle.

If you have some time to donate to help some people who need a ride to Viera Clinic, 2900 Veterans Way, Viera FL. 32976 Phone (321) 637-3788 Or the Palm Bay Clinic, 5200 Babcock St NE, Palm Bay, FL 32905 Phone (321) 728-8300. Call me at 207-442-7434 Ask for Renee

Q - If we have a family history of dia-betes or high cholesterol, does that mean I’m at risk?

A - Doctors always want to know family history of any chronic condition. Though individuals may be predisposed to diabetes or high cholesterol, eating well and getting regular exercise are key factors to staying healthy. Talk to your doctor if you have concerns. Both diabetes and cholesterol levels can be detected with blood tests.

Q - How can a simple blood test tell me if I have diabetes?

A - When you take a blood sugar test, you will find out exactly how much sugar is in your blood at the time the test was taken. It’s important to understand your blood sugar level is directly related to the time you eat. If you get your blood sugar tested before you eat, after eating, or a few hours after you’ve had a meal, your blood sugar levels will be different. According to the CDC, here are blood sugar ranges:

Normal: Fasting 90-100, Right after a meal 170-300, 3 hours after eating 120-140

Pre-Diabetic: Fasting 101-125, Right after a meal 190-220, 3 hours after eat-ing 140-160

Diabetic: Fasting 126+, Right after a meal 220-300, 3 hours after eating 200+

Q - Why is diabetes something to be concerned about?

A - Diabetes is a chronic condition in which your body either doesn’t make

enough insulin or it isn’t capable of using insulin like it should. When the there’s no insulin or not enough, the body’s cells block glucose from being used, blood sugar levels elevate and stay in the blood stream. The long-term effects of high blood sugar leads to heart disease, kid-ney disease, stroke, vision loss and poor circulation

Q - Do active people need to worry about cholesterol?

A - Maintaining a healthy cholesterol level includes both getting regular exer-cise and eating well, especially if some-one is predisposed due to family history. Cholesterol contributes to the buildup of plaques in your arteries that can lead to narrowed or blocked arteries throughout your body. If left untreated, the arteries become narrowed and hardened putting individuals at risk for heart attack, high blood pressure and stroke.

AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY #366

The Ladies Auxiliary, Unit 366 of Barefoot Bay, provided free ice cream treats to the children in Barefoot Bay on April 10th. We were happy to serve many children up to the age of 16 from our local ice cream truck. A wonderful time was had by all, especially our Auxiliary members. This is just one of our ongoing projects serving the community, as well as veterans and current members of the military. Our poppy distribution was rea-sonably successful, considering our lim-ited capacity to distribute poppies. Thank you to all who participated. We are still holding our monthly meeting on the third Tuesday of the month in Building E at 1 p.m. All are welcome.

Our members were kind enough to build four care baskets for four of our veterans in Barefoot Bay and distribute them this month. They were graciously received and very appreciated. It was a duty and pleasure to distribute these baskets and we received much more than we gave.

For God and Country,Sue Reddy

AMERICAN LEGION POST 366Barefoot Bay American Legion Post

366 continues its regular meetings. We meet on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 1 PM in Building D. The next meeting is on May 18. At this meeting there will be final election (or consensus approval) of post officers for 2020-21.

Please note the LEGION Act was passed by Congress and signed, remov-ing the “date gaps” in order to join the American Legion. Any member of the military that has served honorably since Pearl Harbor Day (1941) is now eligible to join.

Memorial Day services will be on Monday, May 31, outside, “under the oaks” just east of the administrative building. The traditional golf cart parade will step off from the tennis courts at 10:45 AM and proceed to the natural amphitheater east of the Building A/NAB.

ARTISTS GUILDBarefoot Bay Artists Guild is dedi-

cated to the enjoyment of fine art and the advancement of its members capabilities. During the past year of “staying home, staying safe” due to Covid 19, many of our members have taken advantage of the down time from normal activities to work on their individual art projects. We look forward to exhibiting these creations soon, and especially at our annual “Art From the Heart” judged show and sale on January 9, 2022 in Building A.

Meanwhile, enjoy the picture and bio of our Artist of the Month, Marion Slipoh. Marion has been a long time member of the Guild and is responsible for a gath-ering of some members to paint, etc. on Monday afternoons. For more info, please call Marion.

On April 16th we met at Fisherman’s’ Landing at 1 p.m. for an Ice Cream Social, as well as a time to sketch some of the lovely river scenes and surround-ing grounds. Some took photos, others

just enjoyed the company and relaxed. At our March general meeting we dis-

cussed the possibility of being part of the 50th year Barefoot Bay celebration being planned in July. We have contributed a lot in our Community in the past years. A committee was chosen to look into it further. We have done rock painting and hid them in the Bay, contributed the pro-ceeds from sale of the miniature paint-ings auction held at each year’s Show and Sale to the Barefoot Bay Community Fund, etc. More information to follow regarding our participation in this event.

On May 12th we will take part in the Bay’s “Meet and Greet” event at Lakeside by Pool 1, from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. We will have a table there with a few members and some art to share information about our Guild. This event is for new people in the Bay as well as anyone who wants to know what activities are available to them. Come join us!

Our regular business meeting will be on May 21st in Building D/E at 1 p.m. We welcome anyone interested in art or who may want to know us.

Hope everyone who wants to has received or is in the process of receiving their Covid vaccines. That and masking up and careful socializing should help the Bay to get back to the wonderful active community we love!

BAREFOOT BOWLERSThe Barefoot Bowlers would like to

get back to bowling now that everyone’s gotten their shots. Our plan at this time is to bowl May17th at 1 p.m. at Strike Zone in Sebastian. Please show up 10 minutes early to sign in. Give me a call to let me know that you plan to bowl with us (772-774-9183). Thank you!

BIRDING CLUBI’d like to send a thank you to Gregg

Baker for his contributions to this club and wish he and his wife and fam-ily health and good birding. Hopefully, things will get better, and Gregg will get to visit the Bay once again.

Birding is an activity during this Covid age that all can enjoy while maintaining social distancing, getting a little exercise and lots of fresh air. We’ve had good weather for the first four months of 2021 and personally I’ve recorded two lifers at Treasure Shores Beach. A Sandwich Tern and a Chuck-will’s-Widow.

Picking a site to count, record or enjoy birds in our area of central Florida is much like picking a candy in an old time candy store. Your objectives for that day and any limitations like time and trans-portation may dictate where you go, but your choices are numerous. My favorites are T.M. Goodwin/Broadmoor Marsh Unit (by automobile and only on Thursdays, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.; T.M. Goodwin/Original unit Monday and Thursdays, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.), Merritt Island NWR and Orlando Wetlands (walking and bicycling), which all require several hours of your time to see all the wonders available.

Locally, Micco Water management Park (walking and bicycle) off Fleming Grant Road is fabulous for a great variety

COMPUTER CLUBThe next meeting will be on Friday,

April 23rd beginning at 6 p.m. at Building D&E. The first half-hour will be devoted to helping members resolve individual concerns with electronic devices. Internet access is available. The short business meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. with a review of recommended changes to the Bylaws. After a few minutes to enjoy some refreshments, the program will begin.

This month we will be sharing infor-mation about the various home security systems, including Ring, Arlo Pro, Blink and Alexa. If you are using a home security program, please plan on sharing the pros and cons of the system you are using. The purpose is discussion to make informed decisions, not to sell one prod-uct over another. This is a great time to help fellow members and friends look at home security systems.

We often discuss computer and smart phone protections with passwords and clean up systems. This time we will look at using those computers and smart phones to add home security systems. If you would like to learn more about home security, you are welcome to attend.

DEMOCRATIC WOMEN’S CLUBWelcome to all our members and

friends in Barefoot Bay, Snug Harbor, Micco and further North! During this Spring, we hope everyone can enjoy the flowers, pleasant walks in your neighbor-hood and beaches, and safe conversa-tions with friends and neighbors. We hope that all of your family are well.

Please join us in supporting all our elected officials in local, state, and national positions as they confront criti-cal health, economic, educational, social, climate, infrastructure, and international challenges.

If you are a man or woman who is a Democrat registered in any state, you are

welcome to become a member of the Democratic Women’s Club of Barefoot Bay. At this time both general and board meetings are virtual each month. We look forward to greeting and socializing face to face with each and every one of you later.

Check out our Facebook page at Democratic Women’s Club of Florida of Barefoot Bay. Or leave a voice or text message at 612-930-2167. Email ques-tions or requests to [email protected]. Let us know by email if you wish to be notified of club events and activities, even if you do not wish to join at this time. When we can resume our regular

meetings as Barefoot Bay opens up, you will be notified by email, snail mail or phone as you prefer. Until then, stay safe and well!

DOG LOVERS PACKThe Barefoot Bay Dog Lovers Pack

finished off their season with our annual Dog Show. And what a show it was! Twenty-plus dogs entered various classes such as “Tallest, Shortest, Furriest,” etc. And Best In Show went to Squirt, owned by Frieda Owens—what a great team! We want to give a big a-paws to our Celebrity Judges: Marcia Riley who is founder of Riley’s Rescue of Brevard County, John a K-9 Sheriff, and John Coffey. They did a wonderful job of judging and had a lot of fun watching all the dogs. Paws up to our vendors, Holy Cannoli, Pleased Pet, Petsense, CW& Co, and Riley’s Rescue!

All in all, the Pack had another won-derful, adventure filled season. We look forward to seeing old and new Pack members again in November.

Thank you to Mevi Doud and Kathy and Rich Felser for being instrumental in assisting me in making our Pack events Tail Wagging Fun!

Grace Cormier of Puffin Drive. Grace was born in the beautiful city of Szczecin in Poland. After a long immigration pro-cess, she was permanently relocated to the U.S. at age eighteen and settled in Miami Beach with her aunt and her aunt’s husband. At that time Miami was very a vibrant and elegant city, and there she was, a shy young girl from a communist country learning the language and trying to fit in with local teenagers.

Because of the language barrier, mak-ing new friends was not easy in her last year of high school. Enrolled in Miami Beach Senior High School a few days after moving to Miami, she signed up for the same classes as one of the students who also spoke the Russian language. She communicated with teachers and others through her friend, in Russian. It was challenging but she was determined to learn English and to finish school in time. By the end of that year, her bro-ken English skills improved enough to graduate.

Life was exciting and she understood that there was no time to waste, and she kept moving forward. Hence, she then enrolled in Miami Dade Community College where she studied Business Administration. However, architectur-al and interior design was always her passion. After graduating from Allstate Construction College, she passed the state exam and received a State of Florida General Contractors License. It gave her the opportunity to open her own construction company. She started as a drywall contractor, and later became a home builder. She followed her passion of designing and building homes for cli-ents. Before moving to Northport, Long Island, she owned and operated Model Home in Sebastian (“Grace Homes” by Sunshine Quality Construction). Her career in building houses lasted for many years but it was time to do something more feminine. So, she bought a flower shop in Commack, NY.

The construction boots came off and the beauty of fresh cut flowers over-whelmed her soul. It was a very enjoyable time of her life. After graduating from the Sheffield School of Interior Design, she was able to include Interior Decorating Service into her business. Then life took a surprising and unpredictable turn and she decided to let it take her to new places and new experiences. She moved to New Brunswick, Canada, lived there for eleven years, and became a citizen of that beautiful country. Sometimes she felt like an international hippie. Was she Polish, American, or Canadian? Well, all of those counties are equally beautiful, but the United States is her home. It gave her the opportunity to achieve her goals and she never once felt misunderstood or out of place. She is incredibly grateful for that.

A craving for creating art had never stopped but it had to wait until she retired. Finally, three years ago after moving back to Sebastian, her desire for art exploded and has not stopped since. When she was a child, her mind always wandered into an artistic world and she saw beauty all around her. Grace’s inspi-ration comes from nature and her goal is to include natural elements in creating art that is pure and organic. In her paint-ings, sculptures, textile art and jewelry you will find recycled sinks, repurposed vintage drills, copper, sand, and beach wood. However, her current collection includes acrylics, photography, and digi-tal art. For extra dimension, she loves combining materials with texture and depth. Recycled silk with acrylics can do wonders to a canvas. Many of her paint-ings are abstract. When creating a piece, she looks for originality and combination of colors.

Her second passion is interior deco-

rating. Through consultation she helps her clients transform their homes in an updated style with a close eye on the budget. She helps organize and design perfect spaces with new or existing furni-ture with the addition of accessories. She also stages homes for those ready to sell the homes.

Grace’s artwork can be found at: www.ArtisticDesignArt.com. She feels lucky to be part of Barefoot Bay commu-nity where she has met many wonderful people and creative souls. Grace’s sea-sonal home turned into permanent stay. For now, her love for travel is on hold due to the Covid virus situation. But soon it will be time for Grace to spread the wings and explore the world again.

The next General Meeting of the Lagoon Artisans of Barefoot Bay (LABB) will be held on Wednesday, October 13th from 10 a.m. to noon in Building D/E. We wish everyone a wonderful summer and we look forward to seeing our club members next season!

And, as always—if you live in Barefoot Bay and are an artist interested in join-ing the LABB, please come to one of our general meetings or contact Sandy Cheek, president, at 786-299-4402; Ellen Gregoire, vice president at 321-961-6247; Georgene Granholm, secre-tary, at 908-337-9400; or Pam Morley, treasurer, at 315-323-7838. Come learn with us, create with us, and add a little color to your life with us.

LITTLE THEATERThe actors and backstage crew are

still rehearsing for the next production. We do know it will be a comedy, a mur-der mystery, possible a dinner theater, and some very important people will lead you on this crazy Bingo Adventure. The biggest unknown is the performance date (s).

Taking advantage of having more time to practice our acting skills, the last meeting had written skits and lots of ad libs. It was fun to participate, and to act, and even more fun to watch others prac-tice their story telling skills.

The regular meetings are the third Tuesday of each month, September through May, at 7 p.m. at Building D&E. Stop by and see if this might be the right club for you to join.

PATHFINDERS TRAVEL CLUBThe Barefoot Bay Pathfinders

Travel Club will travel to Winter Park on Thursday, September 30th, to enjoy a delicious lunch at the Cheesecake Factory, followed by a matinee perfor-mance at the Winter Park Playhouse of “The Book of Merman” – “the Musical with a Diva Sized Heart,” an Off-Broadway hilarious look at an encounter between Ethel Merman and two young Mormon missionaries. This will be our last trip, as due to changes in the travel industry, the Barefoot Bay Pathfinders Travel Club will be disbanding.

Thank you to all who traveled with us. We have been blessed by the good times that we have shared, and we sincerely hope that you have been blessed also.

tury as a jab at the upper class. “Tennis Anyone” is a way of saying “I don’t worry about things outside of my own little circle.” Tennis was once seen as a posh game for the rich, with courts popular at country clubs and private estates. Of course, like golf, tennis has been avail-able to the masses for quite a while. All ages, various skill levels for children, women and men make up what is today’s lifetime game of tennis.

Barefoot By Tennis Club’s rematch with Sebastian Friendly Club was another outstanding event. This time the tables were turned. Barefoot Bay had the victo-ry, winning 6 matches to 2. A great time was enjoyed by players and spectators.

The tennis ladies had a luncheon at Captain Hiram’s. Besides good food, a trivia game about Wimbledon was played.

As the tennis season has progressed, the play at the courts continues, Monday – Wednesdays, and Fridays, 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Please stop by to be part of it!

If interested in the Tennis Club, and for information, contact the club president, Sandy, at 772-664-3163.

Cataract Surgeon Dr. Val Zudans Joins Center for Advanced Eye Care in Vero Beach

After 19 years and over 10,000 cataract surgeries on the Treasure Coast, Dr. Val Zudans has joined the team at Center for Advanced Eye Care. According to Dr. Zudans “I love what I do to help people see better and enjoy their life. My favorite days of the week are surgery day and post-op visit day when I get to talk to patients about how much better they see.”

Barefoot Bay resident Rebecca Holt was one of the first patients to have cataract surgery with Dr. Zudans at his new location. Rebecca said “I have lived in Barefoot Bay for eleven years. Everyone I know has gone to Dr. Zudans for their cataract sur-gery and they all reported being very happy with his care. I’ve had cataracts gradu-ally developing for eight years and they got so bad I had to do something. I was lucky to get an appointment with Dr. Zudans and I don’t need glasses any more. My only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner. My eyes are my most important part and I had an excellent experience with Dr. Zudans at Center for Advanced Eye Care.”

Dr. Zudans did his ophthalmology residency at the prestigious Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in Miami before coming to Vero Beach in 2002. He has performed

over 10,000 cataract surgeries as well as laser vision correction, eyelid surgery, glaucoma surgery, and other office based procedures on the Treasure Coast. He is well known in the Barefoot Bay commu-nity. According to Dr. Zudans, “Joining Drs. Mallon, Katz, Blandford, Brannigan, Ohlstein, Schnell, and Benedetto at Center for Advanced Eye Care in Vero Beach was an opportunity that I could not pass up. Dr. Mallon and his partners have built an incredible team with the most advanced diagnostic equipment and a state-of-the-art ambulatory sur-gery center. Their motto of ‘Your vision is our focus’ could not be more true. I’m looking forward to the next 20 years on this new team.”

Dr. Zudans is accepting new and existing patient consultations at Center for Advanced Eye Care at 3500 US Highway 1 in Vero Beach next to Big Shots Golf. Their office number is (772) 299-1404 and their website is caec.info.

Generationsby Rix Quinn

I’m a Baby Boomer with several Millennial friends. I don’t know if it’s because they value my wisdom, or because they find it amusing to watch me type text mes-sages using only my index finger.

Since many of us work from home now, we see each other often as we maintain “social distance” on the walking trail. I get questioned about the “ancient past” (1970s and 1980s) all the time, and here are my replies.

What is a clothesline? It’s an outdoor, elevated line between two poles where your Mom hung clean, wet clothes to dry. These worked well if birds didn’t use them as toilet stalls.

How many channels did your TV receive? Four on a regular day…and six on the cloudless days when somebody accidentally adjusted the rabbit-ear antenna properly.

What is a phone booth? This was a tall, enclosed box with a door, usually on a major street. For ten cents, you could walk into that box, close the door, and make a private phone call. For reference, see dozens of movies from the 1940s through the 1980s.

Did you have a GPS in your car? No way. I’ve still got wrinkled paper road maps in my car from 20 years ago. I’ve been lost so much, I’ve discovered more untraveled trails than the Lewis and Clark expedition.

Do you remember the Great Depression? Of course not! That was long before I was born. In fact, I’m not all that old…I’m just prematurely wrinkled.

Could cell phones from the 1970s take photos and stream video? There were no cell phones in the 1970s. Phones plugged into a wall, and you could carry them only as far as your extension cord would reach.

Cameras took pictures. Movies appeared in theaters and on televisions. Back then, if we had one product that could accept calls, take photos, and show movies, we would call it “magic.”

Easter—Resurrection Sunday—A day we celebrate Jesus rising from the dead, giving His life so we may be forgiven. Our amazing God pushed the clouds out of the way so the sun could shine brightly on all the people who gathered outside our church building at 7 a.m. to worship. At the 10:30 a.m. service we sang “Jesus Christ is Risen Today,” followed by a tra-ditional communion and celebration of our Lord’s amazing sacrifice.

We give many thanks to Louise Crouse for organizing the days of Covid vaccinations here in our church in March. About 3,100 grateful people were able to receive the J&J shot. Just another exam-ple of community outreach by Concordia Lutheran.

Recently, we had back-to-back memorials for two wonderful long-time members. The first one was for Henry Trumbower, who served in the church and in so many other ways in the com-munity. He excelled in wood-working and gave away many hand-held palm crosses along with many of his other woodwork-ing creations. The following day, Arlene Baker was laid to rest. She was also a very active member for many years, serving in the community, in our choir, and our woman’s group. While we all can acknowledge that they both earned a well-deserved rest, they will be missed!

This is the Day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it!

Please join us at 10:30 a.m. any Sunday to hear the word of God, wing and worship our Lord.

Do you know the difference? We just passed Easter, a high point for Christians around the world. A little story makes its point, sort of. Three men are at a friend’s funeral. At the reception one of them said, “That was beautiful. What would you guys like to be said about you over your casket when you die?” The first said, “I devoted a lot to my medical prac-tice. I hope they talk about what a great doctor I was.” The second said, “I spent a lot of time with my family. I hope they talk about how great of a father I was.” The third said, “I hope they say, “LOOK! He’s moving!”

The jubilation at life restored is the mainspring of Easter. But it is not quite life restored that Easter celebrates but life resurrected. Jesus was not just the old Jesus alive again after the resurrec-tion. He was different. While much was the same, and he did things like eat with the disciples (very physical), he also did things like pass through doors (which the “old Jesus” didn’t do). The resurrection celebrated is a life with hallmarks of all that was good from the past but also with all the enhancements of what fits best in kingdom of God living.

I hope you are looking to God for your resurrection. Come look with us at First

Presbyterian of Sebastian as we worship and do Bible study each and every week. Join us online or onsite at 9:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. through Facebook.com/welovefirstsebastian. Bible studies are Mondays at 7 p.m. and Wednesdays at 9 a.m. Call for details (774-589-5656).

RIVER OF LIFE FELLOWSHIP

Meetings are at Joe’s Club7951 Ron Beatty Boulevard

772-321-0298Several years back we lived in Illinois

near the Mississippi River. The river was quite wide there and the water could become treacherous in a storm. We learned not to venture out in our boat at those times. One day as I watched the wind and the waves, I realized that even as the surface was violent, six feet below the surface it was perfectly calm and the current smoothly moved south.

This is a good illustration of what life is like for a person who has put their faith in Jesus Christ. We will face many storms as we live in this body and in this world, but as citizens of the kingdom of God we have a strong foundation. His kingdom cannot be shaken and moves smoothly ahead, regardless of the storms on the surface. So, when we are battered by storms, we can be sure God has a strong grip on us and will keep us in perfect peace.

Please join us each Sunday at 10:30 a.m. We meet at Joe’s Club, 7951 Ron Beatty Boulevard. Our meetings are relaxed and informal with opportunities for discussion, questions, and comments. We enjoy fellowship, music, and prayer, and Pastor Tom Kempf always brings an uplifting message to build our faith. There are other meetings and fellowships as well. The main consideration for any church should be to see that people are encouraged, strengthened, and brought into a closer relationship with Jesus. That is our goal at River of Life.

You are welcome to meet with us regardless of your church background, even if you have never attended church meetings of any kind. There is no dress code. Just come with an open heart and mind. For more specific information you can call Pastor Tom Kempf at 772-321-0298. Bless you!

www.roselandchurch.comRecently, I went to Orlando to see

my mom, who is 100, and living in an assisted living facility in Orlando that has been locked down since March 2020. For the first time in over a year I was able to go inside the building and spend all afternoon in her apartment! It felt like a miracle and was wonderful after 14 months of being exiled from a true visit with her! When I read Psalm 126, I could celebrate in the same manner with the author, as the Israelites shared the joy of their return from exile.

Psalm 126:3-5—The Lord has done great things for us and we rejoiced. Restore our fortunes, O Lord, like the watercourses in the Negeb. May those

who sow in tears reap with shouts of joy!In the days ahead as we begin to enjoy

again pleasures of things missed in this long exile of the pandemic, I hope we truly can celebrate! As you are able to participate in activities again, such as visit with loved ones, friends, go out to eat, attend church, travel, ______ (what is on your list?). I hope we all take a moment to recognize how wonderful it feels. All those pleasures we have taken for granted in the past give us a new per-spective now. We are Easter people who continue to see the resurrection of life in all opportunities around us. How can you see this “return from exile” as an oppor-tunity to be transformed? The resurrected Jesus calls us to change, not just go back to normal. How is Jesus calling you to change as you return from exile?

Richard was the top recruiter in the Air Force from January of 1976 to June of 1976.

Richard also enjoyed being a car salesman for Longley Dodge and a school bus driver after his retire-ment from the Air Force in 1977.

Richard and Carole retired to Barefoot Bay, Florida in 2004 and Richard enjoyed volunteering for the VA as a Bus Driver and participating in multiple clubs.

Richard is survived by his wife, Carole, and their five children Timothy (Melissa) Allen, Cheryl (Lawrence) Blum, Vickie (Ronald) Smith, Robert (Annie) Allen, and Susan (David) Reiner.

Anyone wishing to send the family a message or share a story is asked to visit Richard’s memorial page at https://www.seawindsfh.com.

Anita Caroline SpencerAnita Caroline Spencer, adoring wife

and the mother of three children, passed on to God’s celestial shore on Tuesday, March 9, 2021, at 11 :57 a.m. after a valiant battle with cancer.

She was preceded in death by her mother and father, Alois and Elfrieda Schwinn; her brother, Fred; her first hus-band and father to her children, Edward Gertz; and her great-granddaughter, Brianna. She is survived by her husband and loving family, as well as the many

friends whose lives she touched. Anita was born on Oct. 6, 1939, to

German and Austrian immigrants in the Bronx, N.Y. Growing up, she enjoyed taking the subway to Brooklyn or spend-ing time with girlfriends picnicking on the beach at Riis Park. She also spent many cherished weekends in the Catskills horseback riding with her dad. After mar-rying Ed in 1959, Anita moved to Long Island, where she raised three beloved children: her firstborn daughter, Heidi, son Kipp, and baby Danielle, who were her pride and joy.

She served at Shiloh Retreat Center in upstate New York before moving to New England to be with family. After many vibrant years living with her best friend, Cindy Sweeney, Anita met her husband and love-of-her-life, Raymond Spencer, in the elevator of her new apartment building. They were married in 2007 and filled their marriage with happiness and memorable adventures together, living between southern New Hampshire, Little Ossipee Lake, Maine, and Barefoot Bay, Fla.

Anita loved attending bluegrass con-certs with Ray, but she loved listening to him play his guitar for her even more. She was an avid jigsaw puzzler, cross-stitcher, Meg Ryan movie addict, book-worm and watercolor enthusiast. Many of her brightest times were spent visiting with her children and their spouses, nine grandchildren and six great-grandchil-dren. Anita was known for her quick wit and sparkly smile, but above all, her strong and enduring faith. She spent her last Earthly days surrounded by music and those she loved most, as she held tight to the promise that she would soon be home with Jesus. We will miss you, Needle.

Allen Eldred GilesMr. Allen Eldred Giles, 73 of Alton

Bay, New Hampshire, beloved partner of Susan Houghton died peacefully on Tuesday, April 13, 2021 after a coura-geous battle with ALS.

Born in Danvers, Allen was the son of the late Aubert Stanley and Ruth E. (Dupray) Giles. Raised and educated in Danvers, he was a graduate of Danvers High School class of 1965. Allen con-tinued his education at Salem State College, earning his Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration in the early 1970’s.

A Vietnam-era veteran, Allen proud-ly served his country as a member of the United States Army. After dis-charge, Allen started his career at General Electric Aircraft Engines in Lynn, where he worked in Computer Systems Management until the time of his retire-ment.

Allen loved the outdoors, especially New Hampshire’s White Mountains and Lake Winnipesaukee, where he sum-mered in Alton Bay from 1955 until his death. He was an avid and accomplished mountaineer, hiker, bicyclist and skier, always waking early to embark on a challenging outdoor adventure. Allen was

a member of the Appalachian Mountain Club and the Mount Washington Observatory, and his interests includ-ed family history, history of the White Mountains, and maintaining his Alton Bay property and the environment. He served as a Trustee of Levey Park in Alton Bay and took great pride in main-taining the park and working on its trails. New Hampshire’s Mount Washington was Allen’s favorite place on this Earth, and he was never happier than when hiking it with friends and family. He loved to guide less experienced hikers through its trails and ravines; it was truly “his” mountain, and his spiritual home on earth.

Allen made lifelong friends wherever he went, including many in Barefoot Bay, Florida where he wintered. He was a member of American Legion Post 72 in Alton, NH, and The Fraternal Order of Eagles and Fraternal Order of Orioles in Micco, FL. When wintering in Barefoot Bay Al enjoyed riding his bike every-where and helping out his neighbors. He always had treats available for the neighborhood dogs and happy hour for his friends. He loved his experiences on the summit of Mount Washington as a volunteer cook for the Observatory, especially in winter when he had the chance to experience its “worst weather on earth” firsthand. He made many good friends on the Summit, and was proud to be counted a dear friend of the legendary Nin the cat. He was beloved by friends and family numbering in the hundreds if not thousands, all of whom will terribly miss him, his vibrant baritone voice, and his larger-than-life energy.

In addition to his partner Susan Houghton of Alton Bay, NH, Allen is sur-vived by his loving daughters, Tammy Stapleton and her husband Donald of Reading and Wendy Tinkham and her husband Michael of Salisbury; his grand-children whom he adored, Camden, Riley, Lucas, Ella, Devyn and Brooklyn, his brother, Aubert “Stan” Giles and his wife Marie of FL; his nephews, Brad and Scott Giles; Susan’s children Mary Margaret Wons, Justine Houghton, and James Houghton and his wife Jodi and their children Max and Claire; the moth-er of his children and lifelong friend Judith McGrath-Malko; numerous cous-ins, extended family and dear friends. Allen will be returned to his mountain he so loved, to guard it for those he leaves behind until we meet again.

Vincent Patrick Huneke, Jr.Vincent Patrick Huneke, Jr. passed

away peacefully and surrounded by his loved ones and a little Elvis and George Thorogood music, on March 22, 2021 at the age of 70. Vinny was born February 1951 in Brooklyn, NY, his city of origin was pretty evident to anyone who met him after just a few words of conversa-tion.

Vinny spent his career with Brooklyn Union Gas/Energy North/Keyspan, working as a Foreman in the Street Department. Though he would constantly downplay how smart he was by tell-ing everyone, “the world needs ditch

diggers too.” He was a brilliant and respected Union negotiator, serving as the President of the Steelworkers Local 12012 for many years.

Vinny raised his family of three daugh-ters in Litchfield, NH. He was an amazing father, dedicated to loving and protecting his girls with all that he had. His later adult life would bring him to Portsmouth, NH where he lived the boater’s life at Kittery Landing and Badgers Island Marina, he and was an avid fisherman and lover of the Piscataqua River. There he made many lifelong friends, was well known and loved by everyone he befriended, to know Vinny was truly to love Vinny.

After retirement he relocated to Barefoot Bay, FL and had eight great years away from the cold and snow he grew to despise during all his years work-ing outside in the winter. After much con-vincing, Vinny finally came back north to live with his youngest daughter and son in law to spend some important quality days with his family.

Vinny was predeceased by his “saintly” (as he referred to her) mother, Madeline C. (Murphy) Huneke and his father Vincent Patrick Huneke. He is survived by his youngest daughter, Karen (“Murf”) Velonis and son in law Daniel Velonis, middle daughter Colette Huneke, oldest daughter Kerry Byrne and son in law Rory Byrne. Five grandsons, Grayden and Kellan Velonis, Riley Huneke, Rogan and Nolan Byrne. His three girls were his world but they gifted him with five grandsons who he could not have been more proud of. Vinny is also survived by his brother, James Huneke, sister-in-law Diane, and nieces Deborah and Donna.

Vinny leaves behind many amazing friends who became family. Namely, Mark Roy of Sebastian, FL and his wife Sheryl Hebert and Haskell (Hack) Kingston or York County, Maine and his wife Cindy. He will meet them both on the other side for boat drinks and tuna fishing.

His Funeral Mass will be celebrat-ed on Saturday, May 8th at 11:00 am at Immaculate Conception Church of Corpus Christi Parish, 98 Summer Street, Portsmouth, NH. All in attendance must wear a mask and maintain social distanc-ing in the church, per city and state ordi-nances. Due to Covid 19, the maximum church capacity is 130 people.

In lieu of flowers the family would request that a donation be made in his name to Vinny’s favorite charity, of which he has donated monthly to for decades, St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, www.stjude.org

For online tributes or to share a mem-ory with Vinny’s family, kindly visit www.mccarthyfh.com

The word “change” has become syn-onymous with the pandemic, especially in relation to business models affected by new consumer behaviors. Though change was a matter of necessity for companies to survive the crisis, many executives believe that it will remain the theme going forward.

Knowing what type of change is need-ed – even if deemed radical by some – is the key to finding new opportunities, and those who boldly act on these ideas are iconoclasts, who are important in these challenging times, says Tony Zorc (www.tonyzorc.com), author of Iconoclasm: A Survival Guide In The Post-Pandemic Economy and a tech entrepreneur.

“Being an iconoclast is crucial to sur-viving the post-pandemic world,” Zorc says. “An iconoclast is an individual who challenges the established way of doing things, engineers a better way, and doesn’t give a hoot what tradition calls for.

“Our collective reaction to the virus – with business shutdowns and all the other government restrictions on soci-ety – points to one crucial factor: we as a society do not question what we are told – potentially to our own detriment. Iconoclasm is about unlocking doors and ushering everyone through them. That kind of approach is the key to unlocking opportunities in the current and post-corona economy.”

Zorc offers these tips on how to become an iconoclast:

Challenge why. “The pandemic has revealed something that has been in place for years – that most organizations, corporations, governments, and even schools nowadays don’t want us to think for ourselves,” Zorc says. “Iconoclasts identify the prescribed or established way. Then they ask what existing para-digms they subscribe to without ques-tioning them, and they recognize the his-torical underlying dynamics supporting those paradigms. Through that process, they determine if there are opportunities to do something different and better.”

Design a plan. Zorc says a project plan starts with identifying the desired outcomes, the obstacles in the way of achieving those results, and the require-ments for success. “Ask yourself, ‘What am I looking to achieve?’“ he says. “You then work backward from the go-live date you have set, and list the major milestones that must be reached by specific dates along the timeline. Engineering a plan without dates is just a dream, not a plan.”

Execute the plan. Action is the defin-ing characteristic of an iconoclast, Zorc says, but fear of failure or lack of con-viction and commitment often prevent

a person from following through. “When it’s time for the showdown, like in the old Westerns, some people flee the town and don’t show up,” he says. “Talking is so easy. I’ve met hundreds of people who have wonderful ideas and want to be an entrepreneur but have no plan and don’t want to take risks. Fear over-rides momentum and they go back to doing their old way. But a willingness to confront failure is an inherent part of the iconoclast formula.”

Level up. “This is the act of improving your lot in life without losing what you already have,” Zorc says. “It also means pushing yourself day after day. It’s done incrementally – not trying to attain the huge goal all at once, failing, and losing motivation. When planning to level up, think in terms of days and weeks. For example, if you’re writing a book, shoot to write 500 words per day rather than aiming to finish chapter one in the first month. If your plan doesn’t seem doable in the allotted period of time, break your goal down into smaller bites or acquire more resources in the form of time, money, people, and materials.”

“Dynamics are changing quite often, and our established ways of doing things are not in step with them,” Zorc says. “People will change when someone takes the time to show them a better way. That’s the true iconoclastic opportunity.”
