Essay: It’s bikini season
The evolution of swimwear has come a long way,
Sobja Schaefer writes, from what would seem like
a burqa these days to... well, almost nothing.
Dear Baby Boomers,
My favorite month, May. We all honor our mothers this
month and pay tribute to the sacrifices she
made throughout our lives. We also (we
Catholics) pay honor to the Virgin Mother
for giving birth to our Savior, Jesus Christ.
Can you imagine growing up and not having
a mother? It’s very common in our society
now. Let’s thank God for foster mothers, and
let’s encourage more adoptions, so that every child can
experience the special love only a mother can give.
On a lighter note, Memorial Day weekend is coming.
It’s our responsibility to educate our children and grandchildren about the meaning of this hallowed holiday. Most
schools in our country no longer talk about our American
past. Ask millennials what Memorial Day is, and 99 of 100
kids will think it’s a beach day. We boomers must educate
our own — it’s not politically correct to remember the soldiers who lost their lives in wars over the nation’s 240-year
history.
Allow me to make a suggestion as this magazine’s publisher: You should watch the PBS special from the lawn of
the U.S. Capitol on Sunday, May 29, at 8 p.m. Mark your
calendars, folks. Such a phenomenal program, every child
in America should watch. Tell your kids and grandkids
about it. This program will make them think about the sacrifices made by our great-grandparents, grandparents and
parents.
In honor of Memorial Day, may God have mercy on our
country, and may God bless your family and friends, and
most important, you.
— Frank Allen, Publisher and Editor

Bikinis
F
Reprinted from the Shopping Guide, April 1992
rom pup tents to T-backs, the evolution
of women’s swimwear has certainly
come a long way, baby.
And although there is irrefutable
proof that exposing too much skin can lead to
cancer, it can also lead to incarceration. Just ask
the hot dog vendors who bare more buns than
the law allows.
Apparently, thong bathing suits fail to meet
the dress codes and the moral codes of a certain
segment of society.
However, if the women of today think their
rights are being violated, in the early 1900s,
the law said all women on the beach had to be
covered from head to toe. The bathing ensembles were shaped like pup tents and even made
of canvas, so any woman foolhardy enough
to venture into the water (wearing shoes, of
course) flirted with drowning (if nothing else).
But a minor upheaval occurred in the swimwear
industry around 1910. Bare arms were actually exposed to sunlight for the first time ever.
And to add to the drama, an inch or two of leg
— well-covered, naturally — showed between
the knee-length skirt and the high-top, lace-up
shoes.
Those radical designs will no doubt to down
in history as the harbinger of things to come,
because a mere 10 years later, shorts were introduced (with belts, no less) and stockings were
rolled down to just below the knees.
Horrors!
After another 10 years, those stockings were
replaced with anklets, and finally bare toes.
But if baring the feet and cinching the waist
were considered scandalous, it was the produce
of Louis Renard, a French civil engineer, that
sent soul-savers to their knees and swimwear
designers looking for their scissors.
Named after an atoll in the Pacific called
Bikini, Renard’s two wisps of material revolutionized the industry. No self-respecting model
would wear it, so a French stripper introduced it
to the world.
Oddly enough, the popularity of the bikini
was mainly due to the proliferation of private
swimming pools. American housewives were
more than willing to flaunt in the privacy of
their own backyard what they would never
show on a public beach.
Women today can choose swimwear that
both fits and flatters. And while it may not cover
their figure gaults quite as well as the canvas
pup tents of yesteryear, there are many styles
that are designed to minimize them.
Unfortunately, that little black and chartreuse
number is not one of them.

Remembering the baby boomer child stars of our youth
Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!
McCormick’s
story runs deeper
than the iconic
show — to books
and reality TV
I
f you saw the recent candy bar commercial and recognized The Brady
Bunch, you know Danny Trejo
wasn’t Marcia Brady — Maureen
McCormick was!
And she’s still with us, too.
Maureen Denise McCormick, born Aug.
5, 1956, is most widely known for portraying the eldest Brady daughter Marcia
Brady on the ABC-TV series from 1969 to
1974. But she’s also an author and recording artist.
McCormick was born in Encino, Calif.,
to Irene and William McCormick, a
teacher. She has three older brothers.
At age 6, she won the Baby Miss San
Fernando Valley beauty pageant. In 1964,
she first appeared on national U.S. television, in Mattel commercials for Barbie
and Chatty Cathy dolls. Through the later
1960s McCormick appeared in two episodes of Bewitched and played guest roles
on I Dream of Jeannie, Honey West, The
Farmer’s Daughter, and My Three Sons.
In 1970, she lent her voice to a redesigned
Chatty Cathy doll.
In The Brady Bunch, you’ll remember that McCormick played the eldest
daughter, Marcia, who had five siblings.
She had a perky and popular personality
in the show, a Friday-night sitcom about a
blended family.
After its cancellation, the series was
later rebroadcast in syndication for
decades, as children’s programming, gathering a long-lasting, cross-generational
popularity that led to spinoffs and movies.
The Brady Brides aired briefly in 1981
as a miniseries that was spun off from
the movie The Brady Girls Get Married
(1981), placing McCormick in a shared
lead role alongside Eve Plumb. However, when The Bradys aired in 1990 as a
revival of the original series, McCormick
had just given birth to a child and was
unavailable to return as Marcia, so Leah
Ayres filled the role instead.
In 2015, archive footage of McCormick
as Marcia was used for an American TV
commercial advertising Snickers chocolate bars. The commercial, which debuted
during Super Bowl XLIX, features action
Wikipedia
Maureen McCormick has spent much
of her life in front of the camera, but is
best remembered as Marcia Brady from
ABC-TV’s “The Brady Bunch.”
film star Danny Trejo as young Marcia
who (in the context of being hungry) isn’t
acting like herself. After eating a Snickers,
Marcia appears as McCormick once again.
After The Brady Bunch, McCormick
made guest appearances on many television series such as Happy Days, Donny &
Marie, The Love Boat, Vega$, Streets of
San Francisco, and Fantasy Island, along
with supporting roles in The Idolmaker
and B-movies such as 1979’s A Vacation
In Hell, Skatetown, U.S.A., and 1987’s
Return to Horror High. McCormick later
claimed she failed to get a part as a prostitute or heroin dealer for the movie Midnight Express because she continued to be
identified with her Brady Bunch role.
McCormick was the first actress to
play Rebecca Crane on the soap opera
Passions, but she was not put on contract.
McCormick also performed in musical
stage productions during the mid 1980s,
playing such characters as Wendy Darling
in Peter Pan.
In 2007, McCormick joined the cast of
the fifth season of VH1’s reality show Celebrity Fit Club, hoping to lose 30 pounds
she had gained since her mother died of
cancer and needing to move her disabled
brother into an assisted living facility.
McCormick lost 34 pounds and, in June
of that year, was the individual winner of
the series.
In 2008, she became a spokesperson
for Children International. Later that year,
she joined the cast of the CMT reality
show Gone Country. This led to a spinoff reality series called Outsiders Inn, in
which she opened a bed and breakfast in
Newport, Tenn.
In 2009, McCormick appeared on
Comedy Central’s roast of Larry the Cable
Guy. She also appeared in an episode of
the show Scrubs as J.D.’s dream wife;
however, she is married to him as Marcia
Brady.
In 2015, McCormick appeared in the
Australian version of I’m a Celebrity...Get
Me Out of Here! She lasted 42 days on the
program being the last evictee before the
finale.
On March 16, 1985, McCormick married Michael Cummings, who had heard
of The Brady Bunch but had never seen
it. They fell in love upon meeting in a
church. McCormick and Cummings have
one child, daughter Natalie Michelle,
born May 19, 1989. The family lives
in Westlake Village, northwest of Los
Angeles.
After getting married, McCormick
went through a series of interventions,
stints in rehab, and experimental therapies
— she dealt with bouts of depression and
bulimia. She began to get sober after marrying, but she still suffered from depression and paranoia. She once threatened
to jump from a balcony in front of her
husband. She and her husband were at first
wary of medication, but McCormick has
been treated with antidepressant medication such as Prozac since the 1990s. McCormick also said that she was helped by
her friendships with former Brady Bunch
cast members.
McCormick released her autobiography
Here’s the Story: Surviving Marcia Brady
and Finding My True Voice in 2008, with
wide and sometimes controversial publicity. It debuted at No. 4 on The New York
Times Best Seller List, and stayed on the
list for three weeks.

A couple with a dream — and not
much else at the start — developed
this band into one of Florida’s best
By DAWNE BELLOISE
Special to Boomerz Magazine
W
hen Kelly and Chuck
Belloise teamed up their
talents in 1985 to create a
high energy dance band,
they had already fallen in love. With no
money, very little equipment and temporarily homeless while waiting for the first
gig, their musical aspirations began to
materialize with the melding of an exceptional guitarist, keyboardist, drummer and
eventually another vocalist to share the
front stage with Kelly.
As Chuck’s solid bass drove the tunes,
Kelly’s superb vocals and choreographed
dance moves notched up the showman-
ship and Ooh La La was born. When it
came time for the two proverbial starving artists to incorporate big production,
sound and lights into their act, they funded
their dream by substituting real meals
with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
until they saved enough for the needed
equipment.
As they became a tightly polished
unit, they boogied their way into bigger venues, the best hotel gigs, and tours
throughout the country. But touring is
tough business and every day out on the
road takes its toll. They decided it was
time to come back home to Tampa, where
they were told by agents that there was
no work and they’d be back to eating PB
& J sandwiches. Unfazed and confident,
they went for it anyway and between the
band’s reputation, and Chuck’s persistence, in less than a week, Ooh La La
was booked solid for six full months with
steady work for the remainder of the year.
During their successful club run, the band
was discovered by an agent with connections to the Miami Sound Machine and
Island Records, who moved them into the
wild Miami club scene of the ’80s, where
provocative stage wear was the mandatory
rage. Ooh La La evolved their image and
gave a classier vogue to the Vegas-without-grace ambiance of outrageous hair,
plunging lace bodices, spandex and color
coordinated outfits for the entire band, all
while cranking out the funk. They added
a five-time winner of Star Search guitarist/vocalist, a drummer who would later
go on to become the backbeat of Marilyn
Manson and Rob Zombie, and another
vocalist who had a successful 1980’s hit.
But again, burn-out sets in when you’re
fed a constant diet of all night, week-long
gigs, and things had to change when Kelly
announced she was pregnant with their

first child in 1991. The two took a break
for family life for awhile, with Chuck
playing local gigs with two of his brothers
as “My Three Sons,” featuring Sal Belloise on guitar and flute and André Belloise
on drums. Before too long, the stage was
calling both Kelly and Chuck back to their
dance groove roots, but the times had
changed – club budgets were now affected

Bail bonds are more than money
— for Lisa Stout, it’s about caring
Owner says they enjoy
the business
of helping others
when they’re in a jam
M
ost people have an idea of
what a bail bondsman does.
If you or a loved one finds
themselves in jail, you may
need to call a bail bondsman. But for
owner Lisa Stout, being a bail bondsman
means so much more.
Lisa Stout, originally from New York,
first came to Florida to find her mother.
While in Florida, she also found her calling.
Twenty-four years ago, Lisa was
working for a cleaning company. One of
the offices she cleaned was a bail bonds
company owned by Robert (Bob) Ulrich.
As she would go into the office, doing her
routine cleaning, she noticed that a couple
of times they were understaffed and offered to answer the phones. Bob accepted
her offer and she continued cleaning and
answering phones when it was needed.
Soon a bond was formed, and Bob asked
Lisa to work for him. Bob took a special interest in Lisa and helped to put her
through school and eventually get her
license.
“We are real
people. We don’t
judge and we
really want to help
people. We like
to see the success
stories.”
— Lisa Stout
Lisa says she is where she is today
because of her mentor, Robert Ulrich. She
continued to work for him for 13 years before opening her own bail bonds company.
Lisa’s work ethic is an accumulation of
the learning styles from both Bob and the
other managers she worked with.
Lisa now runs her own bail bonds
company as much more than your typical
bail bonds. She cares about her clients
and works closely with the families to
help to get her clients back on the right
track. In the case of drug charges, Lisa
is the only bail bonds company that does
routine urine tests to assure that her clients
are staying clean.
Stout boasts of several success stories
they have had and how they have helped
several people get on the road to recover.
Traci Hitchcox/Boomerz media
Lisa Stout, left, and her wife, Maria, own Lisa Stout Bail Bonds in New Port Richey.
She is completely committed to her
clients and she genuinely cares for their
well being.
When asked why people should use her
company over other bail bondsmen, Lisa
said, “We are real people. We don’t judge
and we really want to help people. We
like to see the success stories and want
to be there for people when they are in
need.” Lisa also said that they don’t do
it for the money, they do it because they
enjoy what they do.
Lisa Stout Bail Bonds has been in
business in Port Richey for 11 years. With
almost 25 years of experience, Lisa owns
her company with her wife, Maria, and
a friendly and hard-working staff that is
there to make sure you are taken care of
in your time of need.
When in doubt, call Lisa Stout! Find

Road in Port Richey. Call (727) 842-8222

ADVICE
BABY BOOMERS
Florida heat no friend of pets
T
he owner was frantic. Just an
hour before, her Cairn Terrier,
Snickers was playing in the
yard. Now he was listless and
having trouble breathing.
Rushing him to the nearest veterinary
clinic, a concerned veterinary technician
informed her Snicker’s temperature was
over 106 degrees – he was suffering from
heat stroke. Luckily for Snickers – and
with the help of a quick thinking owner
and veterinary technician – he recovered.
Every summer in Florida, hundreds of
dogs find their way to the family veterinarian after spending just a few hours in
the hot sun.
It’s important to remember that dogs
don’t sweat like we do. Cooling themselves by panting, dogs use the moisture
evaporating off their tongue as a means
to lower their body’s temperature. Anything overwhelming this natural cooling
system leads to heat stroke. With more
families away from home during the day,
our dogs are often left outdoors where it
may be difficult to find shady, cool places
and water to drink.
Normally, a dog’s temperature ranges
from 100 to 102.5 degrees. In cases of
heat stroke, temperatures over 106 degrees are considered to be an emergency
situation – temperatures over 110 degrees
can be fatal in a matter of minutes.
This level of hyperthermia (higher
than normal body temperature) can affect
every major body system and it’s imperative you get your pet to a veterinarian as
soon as you safely can.
Dogs who succumb to heat stroke
DR. DON WOODMAN
often show the following symptoms:
• Vigorous panting
• Inability to stand, or weakness while
standing
• Thick, ropy saliva, literally foaming at
the mouth
• Bright red mucous membranes, although some dogs may show pale or even
muddy gums.
Heat stroke can affect any dog,
although dogs with short faces, such as
Boston, Pugs, and Bulldogs may be at
higher risk due their inability to effectively pant and cool themselves.
Many people believe that their pet will
be fine outdoors. However, inadequate
shade and/or water can affect even the
most seasoned outdoor dog.
Interestingly, heat stroke in cats is
very rare. Most animal experts believe
that cats are extremely good at finding
the coolest spots to lay and also avoid the
excessive, excitatory exertions that many
dogs seem to thrive on.
If you find your dog vigorously panting on a warm summer day, immediately
move the pet out of the environment
and into a cooler place. Getting the pet
SPCA Florida
Heat stroke can affect any dog, though some breeds are at higher risk because
they can’t cool themselves as well.
into a shady area with a fan running on
him can be very helpful. Using cool, not
cold, tap water on the extremities and
trunk can also help to effectively lower
the body temperature, as well as rubbing alcohol placed on the skin of the
stomach. Do not use ice or extremely
cold water. Although it seems logical,
extreme cold will cause surface blood
vessels to contract, forming an insulating
area that traps heat in the body, delaying
the cooling of the vital organs.
Attempting to force your pet to drink
is also not advisable. If you suspect your
dog is suffering from heat stroke, immediately load your pet carefully into a
car and go to the veterinarian. Under no
circumstances should you leave your pet
alone in the vehicle.
Without these life saving steps, many
dogs might lose their lives to the “dogdays” of summer. But, as Snickers will
testify, quick thinking owners and veterinary professionals can help get them
back on their feet in no time.
As always, seek the advice of your
veterinarian to keep the summer days
cool for you and your pet!
Free tool helps owners of lost pets track down animals
North American Precis Syndicate
NAPS
Your cat or dog can be safer and healthier and you could be wealthier with the
help of a fundraising campaign for a pet fitness and tracking device.
Each year, 14 percent of dogs and 15
percent of cats escape or are abandoned,
and while most will naturally return to
their owners, there are more than a million
lost animals wandering around America.
Fortunately, yours don’t have to be among
them.
That’s because there’s now a free app
with a “lost pet” function to make pets
easier to track. All the other users of the
app will be mobilized to help you. When
your pet comes close to another Canhe-Fit
user, an alert message appears on their
phone, requesting them to share their GPS
location with you.
In addition, the technology will also
monitor your pet’s eating and exercise so
you and your veterinarian can make any
adjustments necessary to keep your cat or
dog fit and healthy. Taking into account
breed, age and weight, it streams data directly to the app, available from the Apple
Store and Google Play. The app even
offers suggestions about what your animal
needs to maintain a healthy life.
The device can also help you locate a
great investment for yourself and presents
for your pet. When you contribute to the
Indiegogo campaign that features several
versions of this Canhe-Fit product, you’re
eligible for all sorts of special perks. Various options for all budgets include the
opportunity to donate to an animal welfare
association of your choice and have the
amount matched up to 10 percent of your
support. For an $80 donation, you can
get the Canhe-Fit product and a leather
bracelet with two colored silicon caps and
access to a way to support the charity. A
$25 donation gives you a choice of pet
toys. Various other levels and prizes are
also available.

THIRD WATCH
New programs enacted by VA
will help veterans get better care
F
irst of all, I once again want to
thank all those have been commenting either directly by email
or on my Facebook page, about
this monthly veterans column in Boomerz
magazine.
There’s not a veteran or active duty
military man or woman who hasn’t either
been affected directly or indirectly by the
problems stemming from our Veterans
Administration. This simply MUST stop
& stop soon. We have Nov. 8, when ALL
veterans can go to the voting booth and
make their intentions known to those
Washington, D.C., “perfumed parlor
snakes,” as we call Politicians.
Here are some of the new programs
being put forth by the VA that you should
all be aware of:
• First, the VA is now offering a new
form of preventative care to patients suffering from migraine headaches. Cefaly
is a new technology that uses electrodes
to stimulate nerve cells which stop pain
receptors from causing migraines. The
device was approved by the FDA in 2014
and is suggested to be worn daily for a
minimum of 20 minutes. Most patients
report their migraines either completely
end or at least drastically improve after
consistent use of cefaly. “It’s reduced the
amount of meds I’m taking,” one patient
said. “When you’ve had a headache for
14 days, you’re willing to try anything to
get relief, and this thing works. If you’re
having issues with headaches, it’s worth a
try. It’s a comfort, having it here, knowing
I can use it whenever I need it.”
• Second, the U.S. Senate is getting
closer to voting on the VA Accountability
Bill, which will finally hold those responsible for the mess you continually hear
about at the VA, getting disciplined & we
hope FIRED if the offense calls for it.
Secretary of Veterans Affairs Robert
A. McDonald and Deputy Secretary of
Veterans Affairs Sloan D. Gibson updated
the Commission on Care laying out the
current state of VA and the transformation
that is underway to deliver better customer
service and results for America’s Veterans.
In laying out the key pieces of the
transformation underway – MyVA – McDonald said: “MyVA is our framework
for modernizing our culture, processes,
and capabilities – combining functions,
simplifying operations, providing Veterans
a world-class, customer-focused, Veterancentered enterprise. I know transformational change is not easy but it is our commitment to the Veterans we serve in order
to bring them the customer service and the
care and benefits they have earned.”
McDonald outlined the five MyVA
strategies focused on customer-service
excellence: improve the Veteran experience, improve the employee experience,

man or woman who hasn’t either been

problems stemming from our Veterans
Administration.
improve internal support services, establish a culture of continuous improvement,
and expand strategic partnerships. He also
provided updates on progress made to date
of VA’s 12 breakthrough priorities.
“We have challenges in VA and we
own them, but the transformation that Bob
talked about is well underway and already
delivering measurable results for improving access to care and improving the
Veterans experience,” Gibson said.
Gibson laid out the roadmap for VA
to transform from a loose federation of
regional systems to a highly integrated
enterprise and integrated provider and
payer model and presented the following
metrics showing that transformation is
underway and having positive impact on
Veterans care.
In a nationwide, one-day Access Stand
Down, VHA staff reviewed the records
of more than 80,000 veterans to get those
waiting for urgent care off of wait lists
and into clinics. They identified just over
3,300 patients waiting for more than seven
days on the Electronic Wait List (EWL)
for an appointment in a level-one clinic.
By the end of the day, 80 percent were
given an appointment immediately, and 83
percent were given an appointment within
two-and-a-half weeks.
Real-time customer-satisfaction
feedback collected in our medical centers through VetLink—our kiosk-based
software—tells us that about 90 percent of
Veterans are either “completely satisfied”
or “satisfied” getting the appointment
when they wanted it.
Annual clinical work has increased
among VA providers seeing Veterans by
almost 18 percent in the last three years;
20 percent when VA and non-VA providers are calculated together.
According to a February article in the
Journal of American Medicine, 30-day
risk-standardized mortality rates are lower
in VA than those of non-VA hospitals for
acute myocardial infarction and heart
failure.
The American Journal of Infection
Control found that in five years methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus
(MRSA) infections declined 69 percent
in VA acute care facilities and 81 percent
in spinal cord injury units thanks to VA’s
aggressive MRSA prevention plan.
The Independent Assessment found
that VA performed the same or significantly better than non-VA providers on 12 of
14 effectiveness measures in the inpatient
setting.
The Independent Assessment also
found that VA performed significantly
better on 16 outpatient HEDIS measures
compared with commercial HMOs and
significantly better on 15 outpatient HEDIS measures compared with Medicare
HMOs.
A 2015 study found that VA mental
health care was better than private-sector
care by at least 30 percent on all seven
performance measures, with VA patients
with depression more than twice as likely
as private-sector patients to get effective
long-term treatment.
Another 2015 study found that outcomes for VA patients compared favorably
to patients with non-VA health insurance,
with VA patients more likely to receive
recommended evidence-based treatment.
McDonald and Gibson were joined by
VHA’s Assistant Deputy Under Secretary
for Community Care, Dr. Baligh Yehia,
who outlined the history and evolution of
VA’s partnering with medical providers in
the community to include the Department
of Defense, Indian Health Service, several
academic medical partner hospitals, and a
growing number of private sector providers. He outlined the path forward for the
Veterans Health Administration to become
an integrated payer and provider, much of
which depends on a legislative proposal
currently working through Congress.
VA offered demonstrations of three
management tools showcasing new
technology to improve the way Veterans
schedule appointments and how VA health
care practitioners can see and interact with
patient data, all of which improve outcomes for Veterans and take into account
feedback from Veterans and employees.
This includes a cell phone app now in
development that will allow Veterans to
schedule their own appointments as well
as a program that has existed in all VA
medical centers for a year-and-a-half that
allows VA physicians to view a patient
record that integrates information from
VA, the Department of Defense and community health partners in one screen.
All Veterans know the real meaning of
Memorial Day. It is ALL about those who
died, making the ultimate sacrifice while
serving America in our Armed Forces.
While most of us who served remember
that, most civilians seem to insist on
thanking those of us who survived for our
service.
On this Memorial Day, remember that
when you hear taps being played, it is being played for those who died while serving their country keeping all of us FREE
& SAFE. Bow your heads, say a prayer
for them & our great country, the United
States of America.

by new liquor taxes, surtaxes, and strict
DUI laws, and to accommodate, they
trimmed the new Ooh La La down to four.
By 1999, the band had regained their strut
as their popularity grew throughout the
Tampa Bay area. They added more members and Chuck took over sequencing
keyboards and percussion, making their
sound even fatter and expanding their musical repertoire to appeal to a wide range
of generations, from twenty-somethings
to even beyond Baby Boomers. Now performing steadily in the area for well over
a decade, Ooh La La continues to keep
current with the charts and lays down
medleys from the 70s, 80s, and 90s.
As the band matured on multiple levels
in life, most members now have children, which changes the focus at times
from, “Don’t forget the CD for rehearsal
tonight” to “Do you have the kids’ clothes
ready for school tomorrow?” And the
rewards have been plentiful; with two
exceptionally talented musical daughters, Chuck and Kelly get to watch their
creation continue into the next generation.
These days, Chuck has expanded his busi-
ness endeavors to include artist management, real estate (Belloise Tropical
Realty) and composing original material
for both pop and film scores. Kelly studied extensively between gigs and motherhood to become an registered nurse at the
Medical Center Of Trinity in New Port
Richey. All the while, the couple continues to make music... funky, funky music...

continuing journey.

Muy caliente!
Rodriguez
a little too

generation
By LANNY POFFO
Boomerz Magazine
A
manda Rodriguez está
muy caliente. She speaks
fluent Spanish and unaccented English.
Her Peruvian and Venezuelan
ancestry have given her a stunning
beauty and bone structure. She is
a “can’t miss” for being a WWE
Diva!
Her in ring style reminds me of
2014 Hall of Famer Lita. Her amazing athleticism and flair for the
dramatic give the fans more of them
their moneys worth every time.
Amanda is 100% natural. She has
never visited a plastic surgeon and
never will. The irony of her Michael
Jackson T-shirt is amazing because
Michael was never satisfied with his
looks and Amanda is very comfortable in her own skin. She is a proud
Latina!
She loves professional wrestling
because of the friends that she has
already made. She realizes the importance of family.
She constantly studies the oldschool superstars — Shawn Michaels, Ricky Steamboat and Randy
Savage have influenced her greatly.
She is very nice to the wrestling
fans and always obliging for a personalized autographed and selfie.
Amanda Caroline Rodriguez is
just too hot for the Woodstock generation!

Affordable care
— but from whom?
ell, as predicted from many
folks smarter
than me, affordable care for Floridians is
going to be tougher for many
more of us next year.
Most of us have seen the
headlines that United Health
is going to exit the marketplace due to its one billion
dollar loss since coming on
the scene. They had actually
waited a year before entering
the fray and you would have
thought they had the best data
to work with. They were the
RICHARD
RIEGER
moderately priced alternative
with their Compass offering.
Tough news for folks using
their services and the providers who were part of a robust
network but now might lose
some business if folks have to
switch.
We had already lost Coventry and then Assurant in
the Tampa marketplace. Now
with Big Blue buying Cigna
and Aetna buying Humana,
the choice of your health care
provider is up for grabs again.
Aetna and Cigna had departed
in 2015. So once again, we
will be guessing what or who
we’ll have for a doctor in
2017. I think the big winner in
Florida is Florida Blue. They
aren’t raking in money but
have a great network (Blue
Options) with a plethora of
great doctors.
Who is the “biggest loser”?
Who is going to pay for the
huge increase that have to be
comprehended into the broken
system? Unfortunately, it’s
the consumer. No competition
means even higher prices.
I’m sure the target will be
Medicare again. Part B price
just took a big monthly jump
and benefits have gotten
smaller. Give-back plans will
probably go away due to this
rise. If I can help you, I’d love
to. I look to talk to thousands
who can save millions and
make mine a life of significance.

Fishbowl takes to the streets
Wikipedia
The clean-sheet, emerging-technology AMC Pacer was panned for its styling, though it was initially a hit in the oil-embargo era.
A
AMC’s Pacer is an icon of the 1970s
mong the quirky quirky cars of
the 1970s, what’s the first one
you think of?
If it’s not the AMC Gremlin,
it’s the Grem’s showroom companion, the
fishbowl-shaped Pacer.
The Pacer was produced between 1975
and 1980, but design work began in 1971.
The rounded shape and large glass area
were unusual compared with the three-box
designs of the era. The Pacer’s width is
equal to full-sized domestic vehicles at the
time, and this unique design feature was
promoted by AMC as “the first wide small
car.” The Pacer was the first modern massproduced, U.S. automobile design using the
cab forward concept.
The Pacer’s rounded and aerodynamic
“jellybean” styling has made it an icon of
the 1970s. The May 1976 issue of Car and
Driver dubbed it “The Flying Fishbowl,”
and it was also described as “the seventies
answer to George Jetson’s mode of trans-
portation” at a time when “Detroit was still
rolling out boat-sized gas guzzlers.”
American Motors’ chief stylist, Richard
A. Teague, anticipated demand for smaller
vehicles through the 1970s. The new car
was designed to offer the interior room and
feel of a big car that drivers of traditional
domestic automobiles were accustomed to,
but in a much smaller, aerodynamic, and
purposefully distinctive exterior package.
AMC called it “Project Amigo” as a fresh
design “featuring a body style not seen
before, using the latest technology, and
exceeding upcoming safety regulations.”
Car and Driver magazine noted that
“AMC said it was the first car designed
from the inside out. Four passengers were
positioned with reasonable clearances and
then the rest of the car was built around
them as compactly as possible.” Road &
Track magazine described it as “fresh, bold
and functional-looking.” Popular Mechanics wrote: “This is the first time in the his-
tory of the American automobile industry
that a car manufacturer has said in advance
of bringing out a new product that some
people may not like it.”
A number of futuristic ideas were
explored by AMC. However, the automaker lacked adequate resources to build
components from scratch and needed to use
outside suppliers or adapt its existing parts
and use its production facilities.
American Motors did not describe it
as “cab forward”, but the Pacer’s layout
included wheels pushed to the corners
(short overhangs), a relatively wide body,
and A-pillars moved forward; the windshield was placed over part of the engine
compartment.
Also unique was that the passenger door
was four inches longer than the driver’s.
This made passenger loading easier,
particularly from the rear seats; and they
would also tend to use the safer curb side in
countries that drive on the right.

AMC created the Pacer by identifying
emerging trends and design technologies,
but it faced a small window of opportunity
since a product that comes out either too
early or too late can fail even if the opportunity was there initially. Many of the
attributes the Pacer incorporated became
the goal of all manufacturers in the two
decades that followed.
In its first year, the Pacer sold well, with
145,528 units. But over the six-year model
run, a total of 280,000 cars were built.
