Episode Highlights:
Vaccines are just one of the Shots in the Arm on this week’s show. We first talk with one of the founders of a local non-profit that provides a one-time shot in the financial arm to uplift and support community members when needed. We of course are talking real shots in the arm with vaccine clinics you will want to know about, and don’t miss as we hear from an expert in what is often the best medicine - a well needed vacation — maybe to Antarctica — summer is coming to the land of ice.

RR (02:31):
Opportunity to talk with Roger Sprague, one of the
founders of Angels Anonymous uphere at Senior Fair.
And Roger, Angels has beengoing on for a long time.
You've been there since thebeginning.
Roger Sprague (02:41):
I have 25 years.
Why?
Why 25?
RR (02:47):
That seems would be exactly right.
Why why stay with anorganization like that for that
many years?
Roger Sprague (02:53):
There were seven of us that were for together at
some function, I don't rememberwhat it was, but anyway, you got
in talking about the number ofpeople that we knew that were
falling through the cracks,couldn't get help in from any uh
organization, any governmentorganization, and they they were
(03:14):
just ending up homeless orwhatever.
And we thought, well, maybewhat can we do about that?
So the seven of us uh spentanother a couple of time, a
couple of meetings, discussingthe possibility of uh putting to
starting an organization thatcould raise money and help
(03:35):
people, and that's that's how itstarted.
RR (03:38):
We're up here at Senior Fair, and uh uh much to my
surprise, a lady uh put in adropped in a check for $500 to
Angels and another $500 tobackpack uh food program.
That's the kind of support wewe have in this community for
this organization.
Roger Sprague (03:56):
This is a very, very giving community,
supporting community.
It's uh like none I've everseen.
RR (04:03):
Well, Gate, let's go back again talking about angels, and
we know that you raise a lot ofmoney, but how's it given out?
Roger Sprague (04:11):
Well, we have some guidelines that we follow
very strictly.
I don't want to give you thedollars amounts, but uh we will
help people once so we're notlooking for the uh people that
are coming down Highway 101 andgoing from town to town and and
(04:32):
uh live living on traveling.
Uh we're looking for the peoplewho uh have been residents here
for at least a year and a half,and uh as I say, we help them
once.
Uh on rare occasions uh we goback about five years.
If it's been uh more than fiveyears since we've helped
(04:56):
somebody and they would like tobe uh helped again for
something, and we we check itout to make sure whether they
they're really uh not pullingour leg, but uh they they're
indeed in need.
RR (05:10):
And in follow-up on that, not pulling my leg, uh you get
burned.
Roger Sprague (05:15):
We have been burnt, I think, twice in the 25
years that we've been doingthat.
I was treasure for 25 years andwrote all the checks, but uh
resigned from that with uh otherresponsibilities as well.
RR (05:34):
But anyway, but but it's one of those type of things, Roger,
in in my mind, anyway, that ifI was so scared that I was gonna
get burned and not do anything,there would be no reason to be.
Roger Sprague (05:48):
Well, yes, that's true.
We are we're very careful, andthe way we operate is that we
have agencies around the town,uh, churches, uh, schools, uh
sometimes uh a uh somebody fromthe police department will know
(06:10):
somebody and direct them to fillout an application that they
can get from those agencies.
And then uh we have a board of17 members, and each one of
those members takes the phone uhonce a year for a month, and as
(06:33):
somebody uh applies forsomething, that person who has
the phone then emails out theinformation about the request to
each of our of our members, andwe vote on whether to cut to
pay for that one or not, andthen after we have those, uh the
(06:56):
the okay uh we we write thechecks, the treasurer writes the
checks, and uh I help thetreasurer deliver the checks.
The checks always go to whatthe where the bill is from.
If it's uh rent, we pay it tothe landlord.
(07:16):
If it's phone, we pay it to thephone company, and so on.
And that way the money neverreaches the hands of the people
we're helping, and theyoftentimes don't know who we are
most of the time.
RR (07:30):
That is the way we want to be.
Roger Sprague (07:31):
That's the way we that's why our name is Angels
Anonymous, that's right.
RR (07:36):
Angels Anonymous give credit where credit is due to the
naming of Angels Anonymous.
Uh the Bakhs, uh, Ed and NancyBakham and Ed recently passed.
Uh give credit to them forcoming up with the original uh
run of Angels Anonymous.
Interesting sounds up here atSenior Fair.
(08:00):
If we if we're picking up somebackground noise, that that's
why.
But uh this is a a good venuefor us as well.
Roger Sprague (08:10):
Oh, yes.
Uh we have a booth here, and uhwe're we're not looking to sell
anything, we just want peopleto know we're here.
RR (08:19):
But the single biggest fundraising event for Angels is
coming up in December.
Roger Sprague (08:25):
In December, that's the Festival of Trees and
the Angels Bowl.
RR (08:29):
And we don't want anybody to miss out on that.
Roger Sprague (08:32):
No, the tickets are going to be uh available
online here very shortly, andthey also at the uh uh chamber
of commerce.
RR (08:40):
Yep, you can go up to the chamber of commerce office and
buy them now, uh, be it at atable, be it uh a pair of
tickets or whatever it wouldhappen to be.
Be at the angel ball this yearand support us, help us help
others.
Roger Sprague (08:54):
That's what it's all about.
And the festival of trees is isa wonderful event.
It gives people an opportunityto uh buy their uh their
Christmas tree instead of uhhaving to direct it them uh or
decorate it themselves.
It's already decorated, it'sdelivered to them and set up for
(09:15):
them.

Peter Hayes (10:40):
Thank you very much for the opportunity, Roger.
RR (10:42):
Holland America is uh really into this market, this age
group, this demographic, right?
Peter Hayes (10:48):
That's correct.
Yeah, you're absolutely right.
This age demographic is our ourmain customer base.
I would say our average age isyou know 65, 55 to 75, I would
say, in that 20-year range.
So this uh senior fair crowdhere is right up our alley.
RR (11:03):
Peter Hayes' favorite cruise with Holland America is what?
Peter Hayes (11:08):
Oh, I would have to say seven days Alaska round
trip out of Seattle.
Okay.
Uh it's very approachable.
You know, it's here in thenorthwest in our backyard.
You don't have to worry about along-distance expensive
international flight.
You can get to a reallyremarkable part of the world
right here in the back in ourbackyard in the northwest.
RR (11:25):
Now you've got a number of ships that Holland uh puts in
the waters in Alaska, right?
Peter Hayes (11:30):
Correct.
In Alaska, we have six ships.
Uh I think our sister princess,they have seven or eight, so we
don't have we don't have themost ships in Alaska.
However, we have been doingAlaska cruises longer than any
other cruise line since 1947,which was before Alaska was a
state.
Holland America is about tocelebrate our 80th anniversary
(11:50):
of doing tourism in Alaska in2027.
RR (11:54):
You really own the market.
Peter Hayes (11:55):
We are the best, we're the brand that's best
known for Alaska, yes.
We've been doing it thelongest.
We have more permits forGlacier Bay National Park than
any other cruise line.
RR (12:05):
And I I think a lot of people don't realize that you
have to apply for a permit tosail into those waters, right?
Peter Hayes (12:12):
You need a commercial use permit with the
national park system.
That's right.
It's not open to anybody.
You need a special charter,special permit, and Holland
America has more of thosepermits to cruise into Glacier
Bay National Park than any othercruise line.
RR (12:25):
I think probably my favorite going to Alaska is uh going to
Denali, then on to Fairbanks,Dawson, Whitehorse, and the
like.
Peter Hayes (12:34):
I'm so glad you brought that up.
That's probably my favoriteaspect of our tours up there as
well, is what we call cruisetours.
So they're in addition to thescenic ocean cruising.
But because Holland America, weown the hotels in Denali and
Fairbanks, and Whitehorse andDawson City and the Yukon.
We own the motor coaches andthe trains.
We can connect all the dotsseamlessly in conjunction with
(12:56):
an ocean going cruise, eitherbefore the cruise or after.
RR (13:06):
Now it is fly from one location to another.
Oh, correct.
Peter Hayes (13:10):
You can't yes, we have we actually have a new
cruise tour starting next year,which starts in Fairbanks,
Alaska.
An included flight over toDawson City in the Yukon for a
few days.
We do an included Gold Rushsightseeing tour there, fly back
to Fairbanks, and then take amotor coach down to Denali
National Park for a few nights,then train down to Anchorage,
and you get on the boat uh inAnchorage.
RR (13:32):
People that have not done that train are really in for
something special.
Peter Hayes (13:37):
The McKinley Explorer is phenomenal.
It's unique to Holland America.
We own the train, it's only forHolland America guests, it's
not open to the public.
And it's a double-decker train.
The top level has a curvedglass panoramic view windows, so
you get an absolutelybreathtaking view from every
seat on that upper deck.
The lower deck is a dining caroffering breakfast and lunch
(13:58):
service.
The train itself is it's a longride to connect Anchorage to
Denali.
The train only goes about 35miles an hour.
Right.
But you have a tour guide onboard doing scenic narration and
telling stories, crackingjokes, and yeah, and you get
breakfast and lunch on the wayas well.
It's a very entertaining uh wayto start or end your cruise
tour.
RR (14:17):
Now, obviously we we've been talking about Alaska, but you
also do the rest of the world.
I just got off a Hall inAmerica cruise, had the
opportunity to go to Norway,Iceland, Scotland.
Uh marvelous cruise.
Peter Hayes (14:30):
Well, Alaska is probably the region that we're
the best known for, but we do goto all seven continents,
including Antarctica as well.
And yeah, since we are aEuropean country, you know,
originally founded in Rotterdamand the Netherlands, we have a
very strong connection to ourEuropean heritage and uh British
Isles, fjords of Norway, uheven in the Baltic region, you
(14:51):
know, Sweden and Estonia,Latvia, we even go that far
east.
Uh Australia, New Zealand,South Pacific, uh you name it,
Holland America ships will bethere.
RR (15:00):
What type of documentation does somebody need now to sail
with Holland America to England,for instance?
Peter Hayes (15:07):
Well, in this in this day and age, post-COVID,
uh, we do not require COVIDvaccination proof anymore.
Uh really the onlydocumentation we require is uh
current passport uh recommendedto be valid at a minimum of six
months after your cruise isover.
You know, in case anything wereto happen at the end of your
cruise, you you need a validpassport.
(15:28):
And also visa requirements.
Those are unique to eachcountry.
Every country around the worldhas different visa requirements.
Some countries like like UK orFrance or Spain do not require a
visa for US citizens.
Well, places like Cambodia orThailand or Vietnam, they might.
So uh be sure to check withyour travel advisor about what
countries may require a visa.
RR (15:49):
Put it together.
Uh Holland America is bestknown for being a retired
community cruise.
Peter Hayes (15:58):
I think that's been our reputation historically, I
think so.
But uh today, Holland Americademographic spans a wide, uh a
wide array of ranges.
Uh we do have our main coredemographic between 55 and 75, I
would say.
We do get older than that, andwe do get younger than that.
It's very common to seefamilies on board, a big family
(16:20):
reunion with you know,grandparents and mom and dad and
little kids.
RR (16:24):
Bender than that.
Peter Hayes (16:26):
Yeah, you'll see I see it all the time.
Every every Holland Americacruise I've been on, I've seen a
big family and they all wearwearing matching t-shirts, you
know, celebrating somebody'sbirthday or some some big family
event.
We don't have any rollercoasters or water slides or any
of those trappings of ourcompetition of the bigger cruise
ships.
Our ships average around 2,000passengers.
(16:47):
We have some that are a littlebit bigger and some are a little
bit smaller, but 2,000 is isour average size.
Compared to some of our other,you know, competition, there are
four or five, four or five ormore thousand people.
Staggering.
I mean, the new uh there's anew one that just hit the water,
7,500 passengers.
RR (17:04):
I mean larger than the population of Lincoln City where
we're the town my wife grew upin did not have 7,000 people in
it.
Peter Hayes (17:10):
So this is like a city on the water, truly.
But our our ships, you know,they are refreshingly free of
lines, of crowds.
You're not gonna be waiting inline for the bathroom or for the
dining room or for theelevator.
Uh like I said, there's none ofthat roller coasters, water
slides, rock climbing wall, noneof the video arcades, nothing,
uh, nothing like that.
(17:31):
It's a very nice, easy,relaxing, slow-paced experience
on board.
RR (17:35):
Peter Hayes with Holland America, we'll take a break.
And more from Senior Fair 2025after this.
Bobs Beach Books (17:42):
You'll find a book for every occasion at Bob's
Beach Books.
Something to read as you relaxby an open fire?
We have it.

RR (18:14):
With us now is Joe Wade, and Joe is with the Lincoln County
Health Department, if you will.
But you have a special title.
Joe Wade (18:22):
That's right.
Yes, it's uh CommunicableDisease and Vaccine Services
Coordinator.
That's a mouthful.
It sure is.
Your job is to do what, Joe?
Well, I plan and organize andexecute vaccine clinics around
the county.
So we I get a hold of communitypartners all around.
You know, these are long-termcare facilities, these are
(18:45):
community centers, these arecommunity partners.
I mean, anybody will have usalmost really.
And we go out and we doclinics.
RR (18:54):
So right now you're doing one here at Senior Fair.
What do you have upcoming otherthan Senior Fair?
Joe Wade (19:02):
Oh, that's a good question.
Yeah, we have I don't have alist of them in front of me, but
we have coming up, we have,we're going to Yahat's Commons.
Okay.
Uh we have two scheduled laterthis month, or at the end of
October and in early November.
We are going to uh Lincoln CityCommunity Center later this
month and early in November.
(19:23):
We are doing a couple with uhsome cultural partners with La
Guadalapana in in conjunctionwith uh Arco Iris.
Of course, anybody who wantsthey can check our website.
RR (19:35):
Which immunizations are you doing specifically?
Joe Wade (19:38):
We're offering flu.
RR (19:41):
Flu jobs.
Joe Wade (19:41):
High dose flu, regular dose flu, depending on your
age.
And uh we have flu for foranybody.
If you have insurance, uh we'llbuild insurance if you don't.
We have flu for you too.
How about COVID?
Uh are we still doing that?
Public health isn't offering,we we don't have COVID this
year, but very much arepromoting COVID.
(20:02):
I mean the vaccine.
Yes.
I recommend that everybodyreach out to pharmacies or their
doctors, primary careproviders.
RR (20:09):
Now, do I need to get the flu shot?
I don't need a doctor'sprescription to do that, do I?
Joe Wade (20:15):
For a flu shot, no.
And you don't need one for theCOVID vaccine either, although
there might be some confusionbecause there was a moment when
you did.
Ah.
Yeah, because there was just Sothey that changed recently?
Yeah.
Yeah, there's just someconflicting messaging coming
from the Health and HumanServices or CDC down, you know.
(20:36):
Sure.
And they've gotten that sortedout, and so the pharmacies were
waiting for some guidance tocome before they could uh do
anything.
And so they're they're like ina holding pattern, they're like,
well, we won't do anythingwithout a prescription, and
that's been sorted out.
They had a meeting, came to adecision.
Now you they will do it.
They you can go to a pharmacy.
RR (20:58):
Obviously, in your position, you're going to encourage
people to get immunizations,correct?
Correct.
Does that just flu and COVID,or are we talking about measles,
mumps, and and all these otherchildren type vaccinations?
Joe Wade (21:13):
We're following all ACIP guidelines.
Okay.
What does that mean?
Well, that's oh, you're puttingme on the spot here.
I don't have the acronym infront of me.
It's a it's a panel of expertsthat get together and make
decisions about vaccine andpolicies and recommendations
every year.
And they get together and theymake recommendations about all
vaccines.
(21:33):
Even those that have been givenfor years and years.
Oh, absolutely, yeah.
Oh, I see.
Yeah.
And like they make it, the CDCusually you know the follow
suit, and then and we've alwayskind of followed what OH then
OHA and we and we follow suit,right?
And so that's what we what wedo.
(21:55):
We we recommend that everybodygets vaccinated, you know.
There's a lot of data, gooddata out there that supports
that they're effective and safe.
RR (22:03):
Right.
I I would have to concur withthat.
Now, right now I I keep lookingover, thinking I need to go
over and get my flu shot, butI'm tired.
Is there a time where Ishouldn't?
Uh, because I'm exhausted.
We've been waiting all day foryou to come over there and get
it.
No, but but he should you be inuh special health or or what to
(22:31):
get these vaccines.
Joe Wade (22:32):
Well, anytime anybody asks me any questions like that,
I say refer to your the nurseor your doctor.
Very good.
Yeah, I I can't answer medicalquestions.
RR (22:41):
Uh that that makes perfect sense.
And again, you are gonna be allover the county, uh, various
locations around the county, sopeople can go to your website,
yes, get you to send us theinformation as well, and we'll
make certain it stays on apodcast.
Joe Wade (22:58):

RR (02:31):
Opportunity to talk with Roger Sprague, one of the
founders of Angels Anonymous uphere at Senior Fair.
And Roger, Angels has beengoing on for a long time.
You've been there since thebeginning.
Roger Sprague (02:41):
I have 25 years.
Why?
Why 25?
RR (02:47):
That seems would be exactly right.
Why why stay with anorganization like that for that
many years?
Roger Sprague (02:53):
There were seven of us that were for together at
some function, I don't rememberwhat it was, but anyway, you got
in talking about the number ofpeople that we knew that were
falling through the cracks,couldn't get help in from any uh
organization, any governmentorganization, and they they were
(03:14):
just ending up homeless orwhatever.
And we thought, well, maybewhat can we do about that?
So the seven of us uh spentanother a couple of time, a
couple of meetings, discussingthe possibility of uh putting to
starting an organization thatcould raise money and help
(03:35):
people, and that's that's how itstarted.
RR (03:38):
We're up here at Senior Fair, and uh uh much to my
surprise, a lady uh put in adropped in a check for $500 to
Angels and another $500 tobackpack uh food program.
That's the kind of support wewe have in this community for
this organization.
Roger Sprague (03:56):
This is a very, very giving community,
supporting community.
It's uh like none I've everseen.
RR (04:03):
Well, Gate, let's go back again talking about angels, and
we know that you raise a lot ofmoney, but how's it given out?
Roger Sprague (04:11):
Well, we have some guidelines that we follow
very strictly.
I don't want to give you thedollars amounts, but uh we will
help people once so we're notlooking for the uh people that
are coming down Highway 101 andgoing from town to town and and
(04:32):
uh live living on traveling.
Uh we're looking for the peoplewho uh have been residents here
for at least a year and a half,and uh as I say, we help them
once.
Uh on rare occasions uh we goback about five years.
If it's been uh more than fiveyears since we've helped
(04:56):
somebody and they would like tobe uh helped again for
something, and we we check itout to make sure whether they
they're really uh not pullingour leg, but uh they they're
indeed in need.
RR (05:10):
And in follow-up on that, not pulling my leg, uh you get
burned.
Roger Sprague (05:15):
We have been burnt, I think, twice in the 25
years that we've been doingthat.
I was treasure for 25 years andwrote all the checks, but uh
resigned from that with uh otherresponsibilities as well.
RR (05:34):
But anyway, but but it's one of those type of things, Roger,
in in my mind, anyway, that ifI was so scared that I was gonna
get burned and not do anything,there would be no reason to be.
Roger Sprague (05:48):
Well, yes, that's true.
We are we're very careful, andthe way we operate is that we
have agencies around the town,uh, churches, uh, schools, uh
sometimes uh a uh somebody fromthe police department will know
(06:10):
somebody and direct them to fillout an application that they
can get from those agencies.
And then uh we have a board of17 members, and each one of
those members takes the phone uhonce a year for a month, and as
(06:33):
somebody uh applies forsomething, that person who has
the phone then emails out theinformation about the request to
each of our of our members, andwe vote on whether to cut to
pay for that one or not, andthen after we have those, uh the
(06:56):
the okay uh we we write thechecks, the treasurer writes the
checks, and uh I help thetreasurer deliver the checks.
The checks always go to whatthe where the bill is from.
If it's uh rent, we pay it tothe landlord.
(07:16):
If it's phone, we pay it to thephone company, and so on.
And that way the money neverreaches the hands of the people
we're helping, and theyoftentimes don't know who we are
most of the time.
RR (07:30):
That is the way we want to be.
Roger Sprague (07:31):
That's the way we that's why our name is Angels
Anonymous, that's right.
RR (07:36):
Angels Anonymous give credit where credit is due to the
naming of Angels Anonymous.
Uh the Bakhs, uh, Ed and NancyBakham and Ed recently passed.
Uh give credit to them forcoming up with the original uh
run of Angels Anonymous.
Interesting sounds up here atSenior Fair.
(08:00):
If we if we're picking up somebackground noise, that that's
why.
But uh this is a a good venuefor us as well.
Roger Sprague (08:10):
Oh, yes.
Uh we have a booth here, and uhwe're we're not looking to sell
anything, we just want peopleto know we're here.
RR (08:19):
But the single biggest fundraising event for Angels is
coming up in December.
Roger Sprague (08:25):
In December, that's the Festival of Trees and
the Angels Bowl.
RR (08:29):
And we don't want anybody to miss out on that.
Roger Sprague (08:32):
No, the tickets are going to be uh available
online here very shortly, andthey also at the uh uh chamber
of commerce.
RR (08:40):
Yep, you can go up to the chamber of commerce office and
buy them now, uh, be it at atable, be it uh a pair of
tickets or whatever it wouldhappen to be.
Be at the angel ball this yearand support us, help us help
others.
Roger Sprague (08:54):
That's what it's all about.
And the festival of trees is isa wonderful event.
It gives people an opportunityto uh buy their uh their
Christmas tree instead of uhhaving to direct it them uh or
decorate it themselves.
It's already decorated, it'sdelivered to them and set up for
(09:15):
them.

Peter Hayes (10:40):
Thank you very much for the opportunity, Roger.
RR (10:42):
Holland America is uh really into this market, this age
group, this demographic, right?
Peter Hayes (10:48):
That's correct.
Yeah, you're absolutely right.
This age demographic is our ourmain customer base.
I would say our average age isyou know 65, 55 to 75, I would
say, in that 20-year range.
So this uh senior fair crowdhere is right up our alley.
RR (11:03):
Peter Hayes' favorite cruise with Holland America is what?
Peter Hayes (11:08):
Oh, I would have to say seven days Alaska round
trip out of Seattle.
Okay.
Uh it's very approachable.
You know, it's here in thenorthwest in our backyard.
You don't have to worry about along-distance expensive
international flight.
You can get to a reallyremarkable part of the world
right here in the back in ourbackyard in the northwest.
RR (11:25):
Now you've got a number of ships that Holland uh puts in
the waters in Alaska, right?
Peter Hayes (11:30):
Correct.
In Alaska, we have six ships.
Uh I think our sister princess,they have seven or eight, so we
don't have we don't have themost ships in Alaska.
However, we have been doingAlaska cruises longer than any
other cruise line since 1947,which was before Alaska was a
state.
Holland America is about tocelebrate our 80th anniversary
(11:50):
of doing tourism in Alaska in2027.
RR (11:54):
You really own the market.
Peter Hayes (11:55):
We are the best, we're the brand that's best
known for Alaska, yes.
We've been doing it thelongest.
We have more permits forGlacier Bay National Park than
any other cruise line.
RR (12:05):
And I I think a lot of people don't realize that you
have to apply for a permit tosail into those waters, right?
Peter Hayes (12:12):
You need a commercial use permit with the
national park system.
That's right.
It's not open to anybody.
You need a special charter,special permit, and Holland
America has more of thosepermits to cruise into Glacier
Bay National Park than any othercruise line.
RR (12:25):
I think probably my favorite going to Alaska is uh going to
Denali, then on to Fairbanks,Dawson, Whitehorse, and the
like.
Peter Hayes (12:34):
I'm so glad you brought that up.
That's probably my favoriteaspect of our tours up there as
well, is what we call cruisetours.
So they're in addition to thescenic ocean cruising.
But because Holland America, weown the hotels in Denali and
Fairbanks, and Whitehorse andDawson City and the Yukon.
We own the motor coaches andthe trains.
We can connect all the dotsseamlessly in conjunction with
(12:56):
an ocean going cruise, eitherbefore the cruise or after.
RR (13:06):
Now it is fly from one location to another.
Oh, correct.
Peter Hayes (13:10):
You can't yes, we have we actually have a new
cruise tour starting next year,which starts in Fairbanks,
Alaska.
An included flight over toDawson City in the Yukon for a
few days.
We do an included Gold Rushsightseeing tour there, fly back
to Fairbanks, and then take amotor coach down to Denali
National Park for a few nights,then train down to Anchorage,
and you get on the boat uh inAnchorage.
RR (13:32):
People that have not done that train are really in for
something special.
Peter Hayes (13:37):
The McKinley Explorer is phenomenal.
It's unique to Holland America.
We own the train, it's only forHolland America guests, it's
not open to the public.
And it's a double-decker train.
The top level has a curvedglass panoramic view windows, so
you get an absolutelybreathtaking view from every
seat on that upper deck.
The lower deck is a dining caroffering breakfast and lunch
(13:58):
service.
The train itself is it's a longride to connect Anchorage to
Denali.
The train only goes about 35miles an hour.
Right.
But you have a tour guide onboard doing scenic narration and
telling stories, crackingjokes, and yeah, and you get
breakfast and lunch on the wayas well.
It's a very entertaining uh wayto start or end your cruise
tour.
RR (14:17):
Now, obviously we we've been talking about Alaska, but you
also do the rest of the world.
I just got off a Hall inAmerica cruise, had the
opportunity to go to Norway,Iceland, Scotland.
Uh marvelous cruise.
Peter Hayes (14:30):
Well, Alaska is probably the region that we're
the best known for, but we do goto all seven continents,
including Antarctica as well.
And yeah, since we are aEuropean country, you know,
originally founded in Rotterdamand the Netherlands, we have a
very strong connection to ourEuropean heritage and uh British
Isles, fjords of Norway, uheven in the Baltic region, you
(14:51):
know, Sweden and Estonia,Latvia, we even go that far
east.
Uh Australia, New Zealand,South Pacific, uh you name it,
Holland America ships will bethere.
RR (15:00):
What type of documentation does somebody need now to sail
with Holland America to England,for instance?
Peter Hayes (15:07):
Well, in this in this day and age, post-COVID,
uh, we do not require COVIDvaccination proof anymore.
Uh really the onlydocumentation we require is uh
current passport uh recommendedto be valid at a minimum of six
months after your cruise isover.
You know, in case anything wereto happen at the end of your
cruise, you you need a validpassport.
(15:28):
And also visa requirements.
Those are unique to eachcountry.
Every country around the worldhas different visa requirements.
Some countries like like UK orFrance or Spain do not require a
visa for US citizens.
Well, places like Cambodia orThailand or Vietnam, they might.
So uh be sure to check withyour travel advisor about what
countries may require a visa.
RR (15:49):
Put it together.
Uh Holland America is bestknown for being a retired
community cruise.
Peter Hayes (15:58):
I think that's been our reputation historically, I
think so.
But uh today, Holland Americademographic spans a wide, uh a
wide array of ranges.
Uh we do have our main coredemographic between 55 and 75, I
would say.
We do get older than that, andwe do get younger than that.
It's very common to seefamilies on board, a big family
(16:20):
reunion with you know,grandparents and mom and dad and
little kids.
RR (16:24):
Bender than that.
Peter Hayes (16:26):
Yeah, you'll see I see it all the time.
Every every Holland Americacruise I've been on, I've seen a
big family and they all wearwearing matching t-shirts, you
know, celebrating somebody'sbirthday or some some big family
event.
We don't have any rollercoasters or water slides or any
of those trappings of ourcompetition of the bigger cruise
ships.
Our ships average around 2,000passengers.
(16:47):
We have some that are a littlebit bigger and some are a little
bit smaller, but 2,000 is isour average size.
Compared to some of our other,you know, competition, there are
four or five, four or five ormore thousand people.
Staggering.
I mean, the new uh there's anew one that just hit the water,
7,500 passengers.
RR (17:04):
I mean larger than the population of Lincoln City where
we're the town my wife grew upin did not have 7,000 people in
it.
Peter Hayes (17:10):
So this is like a city on the water, truly.
But our our ships, you know,they are refreshingly free of
lines, of crowds.
You're not gonna be waiting inline for the bathroom or for the
dining room or for theelevator.
Uh like I said, there's none ofthat roller coasters, water
slides, rock climbing wall, noneof the video arcades, nothing,
uh, nothing like that.
(17:31):
It's a very nice, easy,relaxing, slow-paced experience
on board.
RR (17:35):
Peter Hayes with Holland America, we'll take a break.
And more from Senior Fair 2025after this.
Bobs Beach Books (17:42):
You'll find a book for every occasion at Bob's
Beach Books.

RR (18:14):
With us now is Joe Wade, and Joe is with the Lincoln County
Health Department, if you will.
But you have a special title.
Joe Wade (18:22):
That's right.
Yes, it's uh CommunicableDisease and Vaccine Services
Coordinator.
That's a mouthful.
It sure is.
Your job is to do what, Joe?
Well, I plan and organize andexecute vaccine clinics around
the county.
So we I get a hold of communitypartners all around.
You know, these are long-termcare facilities, these are
(18:45):
community centers, these arecommunity partners.
I mean, anybody will have usalmost really.
And we go out and we doclinics.
RR (18:54):
So right now you're doing one here at Senior Fair.
What do you have upcoming otherthan Senior Fair?
Joe Wade (19:02):
Oh, that's a good question.
Yeah, we have I don't have alist of them in front of me, but
we have coming up, we have,we're going to Yahat's Commons.
Okay.
Uh we have two scheduled laterthis month, or at the end of
October and in early November.
We are going to uh Lincoln CityCommunity Center later this
month and early in November.
(19:23):
We are doing a couple with uhsome cultural partners with La
Guadalapana in in conjunctionwith uh Arco Iris.
Of course, anybody who wantsthey can check our website.
RR (19:35):
Which immunizations are you doing specifically?
Joe Wade (19:38):
We're offering flu.
RR (19:41):
Flu jobs.
Joe Wade (19:41):
High dose flu, regular dose flu, depending on your
age.
And uh we have flu for foranybody.
If you have insurance, uh we'llbuild insurance if you don't.
We have flu for you too.
How about COVID?
Uh are we still doing that?
Public health isn't offering,we we don't have COVID this
year, but very much arepromoting COVID.
(20:02):
I mean the vaccine.
Yes.
I recommend that everybodyreach out to pharmacies or their
doctors, primary careproviders.
RR (20:09):
Now, do I need to get the flu shot?
I don't need a doctor'sprescription to do that, do I?
Joe Wade (20:15):
For a flu shot, no.
And you don't need one for theCOVID vaccine either, although
there might be some confusionbecause there was a moment when
you did.
Ah.
Yeah, because there was just Sothey that changed recently?
Yeah.
Yeah, there's just someconflicting messaging coming
from the Health and HumanServices or CDC down, you know.
(20:36):
Sure.
And they've gotten that sortedout, and so the pharmacies were
waiting for some guidance tocome before they could uh do
anything.
And so they're they're like ina holding pattern, they're like,
well, we won't do anythingwithout a prescription, and
that's been sorted out.
They had a meeting, came to adecision.
Now you they will do it.
They you can go to a pharmacy.
RR (20:58):
Obviously, in your position, you're going to encourage
people to get immunizations,correct?
Correct.
Does that just flu and COVID,or are we talking about measles,
mumps, and and all these otherchildren type vaccinations?
Joe Wade (21:13):
We're following all ACIP guidelines.
Okay.
What does that mean?
Well, that's oh, you're puttingme on the spot here.
I don't have the acronym infront of me.
It's a it's a panel of expertsthat get together and make
decisions about vaccine andpolicies and recommendations
every year.
And they get together and theymake recommendations about all
vaccines.
(21:33):
Even those that have been givenfor years and years.
Oh, absolutely, yeah.
Oh, I see.
Yeah.
And like they make it, the CDCusually you know the follow
suit, and then and we've alwayskind of followed what OH then
OHA and we and we follow suit,right?
And so that's what we what wedo.
(21:55):
We we recommend that everybodygets vaccinated, you know.
There's a lot of data, gooddata out there that supports
that they're effective and safe.
RR (22:03):
Right.
I I would have to concur withthat.
Now, right now I I keep lookingover, thinking I need to go
over and get my flu shot, butI'm tired.
Is there a time where Ishouldn't?
Uh, because I'm exhausted.
We've been waiting all day foryou to come over there and get
it.
No, but but he should you be inuh special health or or what to
(22:31):
get these vaccines.
Joe Wade (22:32):
Well, anytime anybody asks me any questions like that,
I say refer to your the nurseor your doctor.
Very good.
Yeah, I I can't answer medicalquestions.
RR (22:41):
Uh that that makes perfect sense.
And again, you are gonna be allover the county, uh, various
locations around the county, sopeople can go to your website,
yes, get you to send us theinformation as well, and we'll
make certain it stays on apodcast.
Joe Wade (22:58):

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life.
