It’s Food for Thought A brain-smart diet keeps you healthy from head to toe.
W
hen working to improve health, most of us concentrate only on the neck down. But if the brain isn’t sharp, it’s hard to enjoy the benefits of being otherwise fit. There are, however, foods that help maintain brain health. And those same foods help to reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes and other ailments. Here are some brain-smart nutrition tips that keep everything working like it should – from head to toe. ■ DETOX WITH ANTIOXIDANTS. When it comes to fruits and vegetables, the darker the better for antioxidant richness. Antioxidants are substances that may protect you against the effects of free radicals, which are molecules that can damage cells. Choose more berries, cherries, Brussels sprouts, beets, beans, kale, oranges, plums, red grapes and spinach. But more importantly, choose more fruits and veggies in general. People who eat fruits and vegetables have a lower risk of heart disease and some neurological diseases. ■ DO SOMETHING FISHY. Omega-3s, fatty acids found in some fish, have become popular because they may reduce the risk of heart disease. The latest research, however, indicates that omega-3s also offer protection against memory loss and age-related dementia. Eat more salmon, halibut, herring, mackerel, trout and tuna for these brainy acids. ■ WATCH YOUR NUMBERS. According to one recent study, people with high cholesterol and high blood pressure in-
creased their risk of dementia six-fold. A diet low in unhealthy saturated and trans fats is better for keeping cholesterol at healthy levels, which in turn reduces the risk of heart disease. Lower cholesterol also means better blood flow to the brain. ■ EAT LIGHT, BUT EAT OFTEN. Not only will this approach help keep off excess weight, but it will also aid in stabilizing blood sugar. Eating the fiber in fruits, veggies and whole grains, while limiting simple sugars found in candy, sweets and soda, also can help keep glucose levels where they need to be. The brain needs sugar to survive, but too much can leave you feeling sleepy and unfocused. ■ DON’T BE A COUCH POTATO. Physical activity offers a host of health benefits and plays a role in preventing cognitive decline. Staying active is an excellent way to keep your body and your brain fit. Oxygen is good for the brain, so exercise in some way each day for at least 30-60 minutes. Shown on the following pages are foods that can boost your brain power and prevent cognitive decline. It takes a daily intake of five nutrients to keep your mind sharp. Also shown are descriptions of how these five nutrients – vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin B-12 and omega-3s – work, and their nutritional value numbers. Tara Gidus, MS, RD, is a nationally recognized expert on topics related to nutrition, fitness and health. Check out her website, dietdiva.net.

VITAMIN E
This antioxidant is fat soluble, meaning it’s excellent at protecting cell membranes (which are fatty in composition) from free-radical damage. The brain is especially rich in lipids, which are at extreme risk of damage from free radicals. Vitamin E-rich foods can slow the rate of cognitive decline by years, according to a study done in Chicago in 2002. Food sources are vegetables, nuts, seeds, kiwi, green leafy vegetable and fish. Recommended Daily Intake: 15 milligrams (mg.)
VITAMIN B-12
This vitamin is naturally present only in foods that come from animals, such as meats and eggs. B-12 can help boost memory and brainpower. It’s vital for many critical functions in the body; it helps to form myelin, the insulation that protects nerve endings, and helps nerves to “talk” to one another. Foods rich in B-12: clams, beef, liver, eggs, milk, chicken, fish and fortified cereals. Recommended Daily Intake: 2.4 micrograms (mcg.)
RED BELL PEPPERS
In a single cup, this veggie can supply 190 mg. of vitamin C and 2.4 mg. of vitamin E.
BEEF
A seven-ounce, grass-fed steak will supply your body with 2.7 mcg. of vitamin B-12 and 44.9 mg. of omega-3.
EGGS
If you eat an extra-large egg, you’ll receive 0.7 mcg. of vitamin B-12, 19.6 IU of vitamin D, 0.5 mg. of vitamin E and 41.4 mg. of omega-3.
MILK
A cup of fortified 1 percent milk will give your body 1.1 mcg. of vitamin B-12, 3 mg. of vitamin C, 98.4 IU of vitamin D and 41.8 mg. of omega-3.

fyi / nutrition VITAMIN C
In the body, vitamin C acts as an antioxidant and helps to prevent damage from free radicals, which can cause degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s. The water-soluble nutrient influences your fight-or-flight response, attention and mood. It can be found in most vegetables and fruits, citrus in particular. Recommended Daily Intake: 90 mg. (men), 75 mg. (women)
VITAMIN D
Your brain will function and process faster when the proper amount of vitamin D is in your system. In addition to helping neurotransmitters send messages to and from the brain, vitamin D also promotes nerve growth. Good sources of vitamin D include salmon, mackerel, milk and fortified cereals. Recommended Daily Intake: 600 International Units (ages 19-70) 800 IU (ages 70-plus)
ORANGES
The most well-known vitamin C provider, one cup of Florida oranges will give your brain 83.2 mg.
MANGOES
One cup of this tasty summer treat provides 45.7 mg. of vitamin C.
STRAWBERRIES
A great source of vitamin C, one cup of this mega-fruit provides 89.4 mg., or more than 100 percent of your daily value.

OMEGA-3 (DHA)
The omega-3 fatty acid known as DHA is optimal for brain health. It’s found in synapses, which suggests that this nutrient is involved in signal transmission along neurons. DHA plays an important role in brain development and maintenance. Some good sources are cold water fish, salmon, herring and cod. Recommended Daily Intake: 4,000 mg.
WALNUTS
A rich source of omega-3, one cup of this nut will provide 10,623 mg. of the nutrient.
CAULIFLOWER
A cup of this vegetable will boost your brain with 46.4 mg. of vitamin C and 37 mg. of omega-3.
RASPBERRIES
This fruit isn’t just a good source of vitamin C, giving 32.2 mg. in every cup, but it offers 306 mg. of omega-3 nutrients as an added bonus.
SARDINES
In just one cup, these fish pack a powerful nutrient punch; they have 405 IU of vitamin D, 3 mg. of vitamin E and 2,205 mg. of omega-3.

Age Shouldn’t Matter You’ve got recourse if you suspect discrimination.
O
ver the past several years, workers of all ages have been impacted by seemingly constant layoffs, downsizings and restructurings. But the challenges for older workers can be particularly acute as a result of age discrimination. There are more older Americans than ever in the workforce. Some 16 million people 55 years of age or older are either working or seeking work. That number is expected to double by 2015 as baby boomers who had planned to retire find that kicking back is no longer an option. That makes age discrimination an even more pressing problem. So if you’re 40 years of age or older, you need to understand exactly what constitutes age discrimination and what protections you have under state and federal law. Here are some commonly asked questions about age discrimination – and what steps you should take if you believe you’ve been discriminated against. Q. What is age discrimination? A. The federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) forbids discrimination in any aspect of employment, including hiring, firing, pay, promotions, job assignments, training or fringe benefits. Even a policy or practice that applies to everyone regardless of age can be discriminatory, if it has a negative impact on workers 40 years of age or older and if it isn’t based on a reasonable factor other than age. In Florida, older workers also have protection under the Florida Civil Rights Act of 1992 (FCRA). Q. What if I’m under 40? Do age-discrimination laws still apply? A. The ADEA forbids age discrimination only against people 40 years of age or older. However, the FCRA forbids all age discrimination, and can be applied to younger workers as well.
Q. Is every company subject to age-discrimination laws? A. The ADEA applies only to companies with 20 or more employees, including federal, state and local governments. It also applies to employment agencies and labor unions. Again, the Florida Civil Rights Act of 1992 is more stringent, covering companies with 15 or more employees. Q. Is every worker 40 or over covered by age-discrimination laws? A. No, there are exceptions. The ADEA specifies that executives or others in “high policy-making decisions” can be required to retire at age 65, if their annual pension benefits are worth $44,000 or more. Police and fire personnel, tenured university faculty members and some federal employees having responsibilities in law enforcement or air-traffic control are also not covered. Q. Other than those jobs, can age ever be used as a basis for hiring or firing someone? A. Yes, when age is a “bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ).” In other words, if a clothing line aimed at teenagers needs models, the ability to appear youthful is necessary to do the job. Other than instances where BFOQ considerations come into play, employers can’t include age specifications in job notices. Q. I had an interview and the human resources manager asked my age. Is that legal? A. It isn’t illegal for a prospective employer to ask your age. However, in the event of an age-discrimination complaint, investigators are likely to closely scrutinize such questions to determine if there was an intent to discriminate. Q. I wasn’t hired because I was told I was overqualified. Isn’t that just another way to discriminate against older workers?

A. Maybe, maybe not. Older workers are often more skilled and experienced. And, lacking evidence, a company can’t refuse to hire you based on the assumption that because you’re older you’d likely lose interest in the job and quit. Nonetheless, companies aren’t required to hire the most qualified or experienced person. You’d have to prove that you didn’t get the job based solely on your age, rather than another valid reason. Q. What do I do if I believe I’ve been a victim of age discrimination? A. First, contact the Florida Chapter of National Employment Lawyers Association (NELA). At its website, floridanela.org, you’ll find attorneys in your area who specialize in age-discrimination cases. Every case is different, and an attorney can advise you regarding your particular situation. If you choose to forgo legal advice, you may file a complaint directly with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). At its website, eeoc.gov, you’ll find information on how to proceed. Or call the EEOC at 1-800-669-4000 for assistance. If your complaint involves a company employing 15-19 people, or you are otherwise not covered by federal laws, then contact the Florida Commission on Human Rights (FCHR) at 1-850-488-7082. The agency’s website is fchr.state.fl.us. Q. How much time do I have to file a complaint? A. In Florida, you’ve got 300 days from the day the discrimination occurred to file an EEOC claim. Federal employees have 45 days to contact an EEOC counselor. For FCRA claims, you have 365 days from the date of the discriminatory act. n Sally McArthur is a staff attorney at the Legal Aid Society of the Orange County Bar Association.

hen Bob and Beth Hofmann first visited the Del Webb Orlando community nearly four years ago, they had an idea that living there would be dramatically different from their small river town of Wauwatosa, Wisc. But not just because of the lack of snow in Central Florida. “We were first attracted to the community because it was new,” Bob Hofmann says. “Because of that, we thought it was more likely to have younger residents with interests similar to ours.” He was right. “The best thing about living here is the people,” says Hofmann, 60, a retired Harley-Davidson motorcycle design engineer and former Mercury Marine employee. He adds that during the 18 years he and his wife of 31 years lived near the often-frozen Menomonee River, they only knew the first names of their neighbors. Since moving to Del Webb Orlando, however, they’ve met “many wonderful friends.” Beth Hofmann, 53, a music therapist by training, previously worked in the healthcare industry, where she was a Director of Therapeutic Recreation and a Quality Assurance Director, before moving to Del Webb Orlando. One of the things the Hoffmans like about their home is that the community offers a lifestyle where you can be as busy as you want and pursue as many interests as you wish. Or not. When the Hofmanns aren’t socializing with neighbors, they enjoy movies, plays, concerts and other FOREVER YOUNG

cultural events, as well as traveling, cooking, reading and playing ping pong or pickle ball. And with the numerous amenities offered at Del Webb Orlando, they can enjoy many activities without even leaving their home. Unless, that is, you consider riding through the community on a Harley-Davidsoninspired golf cart leaving home. When the Hofmanns do want to get away, they do it often – and in a big way. Living near Disney World and the ports was another reason they selected Del Webb Orlando, since they enjoy visiting theme parks and love cruising the high seas. Del Webb Orlando recently opened a new model park featuring five new model homes. The Garden Series includes homes from 978 to 2,238 square feet, priced starting from the $120s. The Classic Series boasts larger homes, from 1,600 to 2,831 square feet, priced starting from the $170s. New homes at Del Webb Orlando feature hobby rooms, gourmet kitchens and unique drop zones. If you’re interested in exploring all that Del Webb Orlando has to offer, you’re invited to stay at the community through the Explore Del Webb program.

Given their similar editorial missions, it was only natural that the Bolder Media Group and Florida Home Media LLC, publishers of Orlando Home & Leisure magazine and its quarterly insert, Forever Young, would form a partnership for content sharing and cross-promotion. After all, both Forever Young and the Bolder Media Group’s electronic ventures are designed to help people over 50 live life to the fullest by providing inspiration and information. The initial result of that partnership is a lively package of stories provided to Forever Young by the Growing Bolder team. “The Bolder Media Group is on the leading edge of a huge demographic trend,” says Randy Noles, group publisher of Florida Home Media. “All it lacked was a print outlet, which Forever Young can provide.” Bolder Media Group founder and CEO Marc Middleton, perhaps best remembered for his years as sports anchor on WESH-TV, Orlando’s NBC affiliate, agrees that Growing Bolder and Forever Young are filling a need: “There’s now an entirely new life stage that didn’t exist a decade ago: People over 50 who make the right lifestyle choices can expect to live another four decades of active and fulfilling life. This is great news for everyone because it means that it’s never too late to reinvent yourself, to start a new career, to give back to your community, to chase your dream or pursue your passions.” FOREVERYOUNGORLANDOMAG.COM

he longer you live, the more you learn. And if you’re lucky, you surround yourself with people who have wisdom to give and knowledge to share. Studies show that the more you push your intellectual limits, the longer you’ll live and the happier you’ll be. In fact, research sponsored in part by the National Institute on Aging has found that even brief sessions of brain exercise can have a drastic impact on age-related mental decline. So, what are you waiting for? Open your mind to new possibilities – and look for people who can lead the way. To help, Growing Bolder has reached out to familiar figures in sports, entertainment, travel, health and more, and asked them to share their thoughts on what “growing bolder” means to them, what they’ve discovered during their journeys and what advice they have to pass on to others.
ROWDY GAINES, 53 Three-time Olympic champion “To me, goal-setting is really important. You need something to focus on, or you’ll get lost along the way. But don’t become so focused on the destination that you forget to enjoy the journey, because that’s what makes you who you are – how you treat others, respond to setbacks and use your successes to build your momentum.”
“Everything I do – everything we all do – has to make a difference.”
WENDY CHIOJI, 50 Journalist and cancer survivor “I think it’s my obligation, and one I fulfill happily, to share my story of surviving breast cancer and work to pay it forward. After my fight, I was more determined than ever to live each day to the fullest, to celebrate the adventures that the world holds and to bring awareness to those who are surviving and thriving after a difficult diagnosis. Everything I do – everything we all do – has to make a difference. It has to matter. I never take a single moment for granted.”
ROGER McGUINN, 69 Rock-and-Roll Hall of Famer and founder of The Byrds
“Why stop doing something you love?”
“People ask me all the time how long I plan to continue performing live on stage and the honest answer is – for as long as I can. Why stop doing something you love? That’s the secret to staying young. That’s what I plan on doing, and that’s my advice to you. Find something you love and make it your lifestyle.” FOREVER YOUNG

ROCK STARS OF AGING: LEARN THEIR SECRETS TO LONGEVITY Book tells how centenarians combine healthy habits and positive attitudes.
W
e’ve been told for so long, by so many, what’s not possible as we age that few of us know what really is possible. One of the most powerful ways to find out what’s possible is to interview centenarians – people who’ve lived to 100 years or older. Central Florida has boasted a number of centenarians, many of whom we’ve been privileged to know. We were there when 110-year-old Onie Ponder voted in the presidential election; when 109-year-old Ruth Hamilton became the world’s oldest blogger; when Wilhelmina Hoorn danced on her 107th birthday; and when 103-year-old artist Harold Rotenberg flirted with the ladies while being honored at a major museum. In this space, we’ll share the secrets to longevity that we’ve learned from these and other active men and women in their 90s and 100s – men and women we call the “Rock Stars of Aging.” In fact, that’s the name of a brand-new e-book published by Bolder Press, a division of Bolder Media Group. Rock Stars of Aging: 50 Ways to Live to 100, is not based upon surveys, scientific research or the opinions of scholars. Instead, it’s based upon our extensive, firsthand experience interviewing and observing active centenarians, nonagenarians and octogenarians for our national TV and radio shows. We interviewed hundreds of men and women who were far too busy enjoying life to obsess over their advancing years. These people were as diverse as any group could be, but as we talked and listened, we learned – and found many common denominators. Rock Stars of Aging is about those common threads. Threads
which, when woven together, help create not only a long life but, far more important, a life filled with passion and joy; a life without fear and regret. Active centenarians, for example, are almost always cheerful and optimistic. And medical science tells us that a positive attitude not only promotes good health – it can actually nullify predispositions for certain diseases. Dr. Michael Bauerschmidt, an expert on the human genome, says our attitudes impact us on a genetic level. “How you approach life, your attitude towards life, can manifest as how your genes express themselves,” says Bauerschmidt. In other words, although you may have a family history of cardiac disease, cancer, diabetes or Alzheimer’s, how you live your life will play a large part in determining whether or not those ailments develop. Almost all researchers now agree that a healthy lifestyle and the right attitude can overcome bad genes. Psychology trumps physiology almost every time. So don’t just work on your diet and your fitness level, work on your attitude.

There are several grassroots efforts under way to brand Central Florida as one of America’s healthiest and most active communities. Since any successful effort of this kind requires leadership, Growing Bolder has teamed with Visit Orlando CEO Gary Sain on “The InSain Orlando Executive Challenge.” Each month, Sain will challenge a local CEO to demonstrate his or her commitment to a healthy lifestyle with a fitness feat. We’ll profile those CEOs and their feats in Forever Young as inspiration for all of us to get active. By the way, Sain started this challenge by doing 1,100 pushups on his 61st birthday. “It all starts with discipline,” Sain says. “You can’t say, ‘I’m too busy.’ This is too important to your future. Set a goal and start working toward that goal each and every day. It is not easy, but the benefits are tremendous in the long run.”

A GRANDFATHER’S LAST WISH, AND A JOURNEY INTO THE PAST For Joanie Schirm, old family letters revealed a poignant story of courage.
J
oanie Schirm, 63, is a retired executive whose future is becoming increasingly steeped in the past. During her career, Schirm served as president of Orlandobased Geotechnical and Environmental Consultants. She was also a leader in the effort to bring World Cup soccer to Central Florida in 1994. She retired in 2008, but she’s still learning, still growing, still active in her community – and still working. Only these days, she’s working on uncovering the secrets of her family’s past. Schirm’s quest has made her an expert on genealogy – an expertise she plans to share in two books. Q. What sparked your interest in genealogy? A. After my parents died within days of each other, my siblings and I discovered a collection of old letters written in Czech that revealed our parents’ and grandparents’ past – a past that we had never known fully about. When I finished counting, I realized I had 400 letters written by 78 people between 1939 and 1946. One of them was written by my father’s father, just three days before he and my grandmother were sent to a concentration camp, where they both died. The letter begins, “My dear boy,” and in it, my grandfather gives my father a last wish for how he should lead his life. It’s an amazing, altruistic wish, which is the keystone for a series of books I’m writing about my dad’s life and my own journey of discovery. Q. Where has your search into your family’s history taken you? A. Once I started digging into the letters, I couldn’t put them down. They eventually brought me into contact with seven of the letter writers or their descendants. When you do genealogy, it goes so far in your life. My husband and I have met so many wonderful people. While in Prague, I got to meet former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, whose background is Czech. We were guests at the U.S. ambassador’s home for dinner. At an American Friends of the Czech Republic event, I met former Czech Republic President Vaclav Havel, a hero of my father’s. Q. What’s your advice for those just getting started in tracing their family’s history? A. If [relatives] are living who can bring history to you, go talk to them. Use modern technologies, like small video cameras or computer webcams, and document their stories. And do it now, because it’s all going to go away, and it’s history that we all need to capture for future generations. Q. Why would someone want to spend so much time looking to the past?

JOANIE SCHIRM A. If you have any sense of curiosity in life, you’ll be amazed. You really start, nowadays, with the Web and these ancestry sites. Then you keep going and going and going. It’s like going down a rabbit hole, and you find these amazing things. The treasures you find are seldom on the surface. Q. Now that you’ve spent all this time researching your family’s past, what are you going to do with that knowledge? A. I’ve actually written manuscripts for two books (joanieschirm.com). The first is called The Golden Youth, which chronicles my investigation of the letter writers and the people I’ve met, including two 91-year-old letter writers, an MIT professor, a scientist in New Zealand, a law professor in Canada and a former Czech ambassador to the United States. The second book is called My Dear Boy, named for that final letter to my father. In it, I explain how my father’s courage allowed him to escape occupied Czechoslovakia before it was too late. A few months later, he ended up in China where he met my mother, an American missionary. They immediately fell in love and got married. Their love affair lasted 60 years. Without my dad’s courage, my siblings and I wouldn’t exist. FOREVER YOUNG

FACES IN THE CROWD Making changes, having fun and living life to the fullest. TATTOO YOU Tattoos are no longer taboo. They’ve gone mainstream in a big way and like just about everything else, the fastest-growing market segment is baby boomers. Recently, Andrea Kudlacz celebrated her 60th birthday by getting a very special tattoo – one that reminds her that her youth left its own permanent mark on the woman she has become.
WHAT’S ‘SUP?’ At the age of 46, after more than 19 years in a safe and secure job with the Florida Lottery, Ned Johnson quit – and started living his dream. He traded a business suit for a swimsuit and now runs Paddleboard Orlando – a stand-up paddleboard program that’s open to all ages and all abilities. Stand-up paddleboarding is quickly becoming one of the hottest exercises around, offering a full-body workout without ever having to set foot in a gym. paddleboardorlando.com
SHORT AND SWEET After a series of mission trips, Jane Hursh, 44, felt obligated to share the blessings of her life and raise money to help those in need. So she turned to something she’d always loved doing – baking cookies. Now, from shortbread to biscotti and all treats in between, Hursh’s Short and Sweet is a local business that’s making an international difference. All profits go to a variety of charities, ranging from organizations that fight human trafficking to those that provide assistance to families impacted by HIV/ AIDS. janeshortandsweet.com In Central Florida, new episodes of Growing Bolder air at noon Sundays on WUCF-TV, Orlando’s PBS affiliate.

WORDS OF WISDOM “I’ve learned to persevere, and I’ve learned to look at the bright side. You have to enjoy every day, because you don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow.

Karen Steeves Morin, 73
Originally from: Jacksonville n Family: Divorced decades ago, the longtime Tampa resident moved to Orlando in 2006 to live near her daughter, son-in-law and their two young sons. One of her main activities is helping take care of her two grandchildren, ages 4 and 6. She credits good genes for her robust health – her father was active until his death, only a year ago, at age 99. n Former career: Karen was a clinical social worker based in a variety of hospitals, including Tampa General Hospital, where she worked for 18 years until her retirement in 1999. “It’s fun working in a hospital. It’s hard, but you’re working with some of the smartest people in the world, so it’s always interesting. When I hit the floor, I 20

never knew what I’d be doing that day.” n Current activities: Growing a variety of vegetables and herbs in a 4-by-16-foot plot in the community garden at Mead Gardens; singing in the choir at First Presbyterian Church in downtown Orlando; attending hour-long yoga and other exercise classes at the downtown YMCA at least six days a week. A former runner who gave up the sport a few years ago to save her aching knees, she has always been slim: Her weight – 102 pounds – is the same as it was when she was 20. n Words of wisdom: “Get outdoors. Ride your bike. Swim in the pool. Play soccer. Stay active. Obesity is such a huge problem for so many people. The way food is packaged and marketed doesn’t help. If everybody had a community garden we’d be better off.”

Bob Brigham, 77 Originally from: East Orange, N.J. n Family: Bob, whose first wife died in 1999, married a longtime friend, Patti Madden, in 2009. An Orlando resident since 1970, he has two children: a son, Geoff, 53, who lives in San Francisco, and a daughter, Rosalind, 45, who lives near Little Rock, Ark. His only grandchild, Cassie, lives in Paris but currently is taking courses at Carleton College in Minnesota. n Former career: After earning a Master’s degree from MIT and a doctorate in mathematics from NYU, Bob spent 33 years as a fulltime math and computer science professor at the University of Central Florida. He still teaches at least one class a year at UCF – this semester it’s Advanced Calculus – and remains a big fan of the nation’s second-largest university. “I think the kids are great. I’ve learned how to stay young by being around them.” n Current activities: A runner since his early 40s – “I suddenly decided that I might be getting older, so maybe I should start taking care of myself a little bit better” – Bob has won his age group in Orlando’s OUC Half Marathon for the past three years. It’s a passion he shares with Patti, to whom he proposed during a water break midway through a morning jog. His other hobbies include walking the couple’s three rescued greyhounds – Merlin, Onyx and Callie – and reading and writing murder mysteries. Bob is currently self-publishing one of his own mysteries, in collaboration with a fellow runner who was a former crime scene investigator. n Words of wisdom: “Just have fun. Look for the best in other people, and don’t be judgmental.” foreveryoungorlandomag.com

Originally from: New York City and New Jersey. n Family: Glenn met his wife, Sandy, while both were working as clowns with Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. (Sandy, the first female clown ever hired by Ringling Bros., also taught the first accredited class on circus clowning, at Lehigh University.) Glenn and Sandy have a 33-year-old son, Joey Severin, a video editor in New York City. n Former career: At age 21 Glenn worked in stage design and wrote for radio and TV, including Saturday Night Live, for which he penned the popular “Loud Family” skits. He also wrote copy for TV commercials, including several Mr. Whipple ads for Charmin toilet paper. After studying acting with Lee Strasberg and Anthony Mannino, he veered off in a very different direction: professional clowning. He and Sandy toured the country with Ringling Bros. for 15 years before opening a popular Orlando art gallery in 1995. n Current activities: Glenn runs Boom-Art, a gallery in the Lake Ivanhoe antique district. He and Sandy make all the nostalgia-focused art in the shop using found and recycled pieces. “What we do here is entertain, motivate and inspire people,” Glenn says.” Purchasers of their work include Shaquille O’Neal, Jeff Foxworthy, Carrot Top and Jay Leno. During their off hours, Glenn and Sandy enjoy growing their own fruits and vegetables, breeding tropical fish and relaxing poolside at their home near Lake Eola. n Words of wisdom: “Life is not a dress rehearsal. It’s the only show they give you, so you’ve got to get your act together before the circus train pulls out.” SPRING 2012

Just Deliver the Goods Boomers at work: Embrace technology and avoid Buicks.
S
omebody recently asked when I plan to retire, and the question stopped me in my tracks. Yes, I’ve been getting letters from AARP, but I didn’t dream anyone else might think the “R” word could be in my future. I’m still entranced by my job, count my co-workers among my best friends and can barely imagine a life without work. And that means I am like lots of other baby boomers – delusional and driven, with 63 percent of us feeling younger than we really are and 41 percent saying they would rather keep working than retire. Still, energy, memory and all sorts of other things really do start to decline after 40, and many boomers – 46 percent, to be exact – worry that they can’t compete with their younger colleagues. And as people hold onto their jobs even longer – 68 is the new 65 when it comes to retirement age – it’s increasingly common for grandparents to work alongside kids fresh out of school. All your experience and wisdom won’t keep you from being sidelined if you come across as a dinosaur. Here – with the help of several boomer friends and colleagues – are some tips for staying on top. Exercise. If somebody told you about a miracle drug that could elevate your energy, prolong your life and make you happier for hours after you took it, you’d be scouring the black market to find it. I couldn’t maintain my workload or schedule without exercising at least 45 minutes four or five times a week, and I will give up personal lunches, dinners and fun to make it happen. On a similar note, one friend takes the stairs instead of the elevator and visits the person in the next office rather than send-
ing an e-mail. It counts as exercise, and it sends a message about his vitality, too. As people age they look tired, and tired is a bad look at work. If your face shows the serious effects of more than half a century of gravity, consider a facelift, Botox or other cosmetic procedures. This applies to you, too, guys. But don’t try too hard. Nothing is going to make you look 30 again, and that includes tight shirts that show off your muffintop, stiletto heels that you teeter in, cleavage that flaunts your age spots and bare, cafeteria-lady arms. Do not – repeat, do not – talk about what you did when you worked for a Fortune 500 company in New York. Lots of people move to Florida from major jobs. The smart ones know that what matters now is what they’re accomplishing here. If you stay around long enough, you’re going to have new bosses and maybe even new owners. Even if it is true, never tell them, “We tried that before and it didn’t work.” Everyone our age forgets a shocking number of things. Do not bring meetings to an agonizing halt while you try to recall a name and complain that you can’t remember anything anymore. No one in corporate history has ever won respect or a promotion this way. You can’t use my strategy – which is to ask a longtime co-worker, who remembers every detail in the universe – but you can try to conceal your mental lapse and Google the elusive fact after the meeting. From a car-savvy colleague: Don’t buy a Buick. In office conversations, avoid the three “M’s”: Metamucil, menopause, and The Mary Tyler Moore Show.

While it may be easier to put off thinking about it until later, the earlier you begin your research, the easier the process will be. Learn about the different types of senior housing, what choices may be best for you and how to navigate the emotional roadblocks that come with making smart choices.

A WORRY-FREE LIFESTYLE PLUS GUARANTEED LONG-TERM CARE [ now that’s peace of mind ]
The Mayflower. Smart. Secure. And Spectacular. Imagine a time in your life when you have the freedom to do exactly as you please. Relax...revitalize...reinvent...renew. And, then imagine a place where you can do all that on your terms – and still have the complete peace of mind that comes only with the guarantee of comprehensive continuing care. That place...is The Mayflower – the gold standard for retirement communities in Central Florida. Here, you have the freedom and flexibility to customize your home and your retirement lifestyle to make them uniquely yours.
