The Arts and My Calendar: It’s a Year-Round Affair
W
Take Note
ELL, HERE WE ARE WITH HALLOWEEN
right around the corner, and by “right around the corner” what I mean is that it’s practically over already. At least, so goes the calendar for me. Planning and writing a monthly magazine in advance means that by the time everybody else gets around to enjoying a seasonal event, it’s yesterday’s paper to me. This can generate a fuzzy sense of temporal displacement, and sometimes the been-there, done-that, left-out blues of a kid who sneaked downstairs and opened up all his presents first. But not this month. This is our annual arts issue, which calls for us to scour the area’s colleges, museums and theatrical companies to garner the likely highlights of Orlando’s upcoming visual- and performing-arts season. I’m a sucker for the arts. If the arts came banging on my door at 3 a.m. to tell me their problems, I’d invite them in and crack open a bottle of wine. This disposition goes back to my childhood, and the universal question: Am I going to get spanked right now, or not? I can pinpoint a moment. My mom is scolding my sisters and me. I can’t remember what we have done to warrant the correction; all I recall is her methodology. She draws herself up, gives us a stern, regal look, and quotes from King Lear: “How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is to have a thankless child!” She wasn’t an actress. She wasn’t a writer. She was just a well-educated, 1950s housewife who had the cookies ready when we came home from school and quoted liberally from Scripture or Shakespeare when the occasion for it arose. All that registered at the time in my dirty T-shirt of a brain was that the longer she talked, the less chance I had of getting spanked. But of course, she left a mark. She did so by putting the moment in a heightened context, weaving something stylish and elevated into the fabric of everyday life. Which is as good a definition of art as any. 4

I stopped in one afternoon to the Lowndes Shakespeare Center in the process of pulling together the list you’ll find inside this magazine of the top 20 cultural events of the season. Our photographer, Greg Johnston, was there as well, taking pictures of a group of middle-school students who were in the midst of a summer camp class in makeup artistry. As you’ll discover when you turn to it, we had decided to illustrate our cultural calendar story with photos of young people in the process of learning about the arts. I scanned the faces of the kids, there in a mirrored makeup room at the Shakes. They all looked like hell: Their assignment that day was to make themselves up to look like zombies, of which Shakespeare’s plays have quite a few. I found myself wondering if their fleeting brush with his artistry would reverberate with them some day, as such a moment once did with me.

gone, but her flamboyant spirit shimmies on at the Headdress Ball, the lowdown highlight of Orlando’s social season. Even as you read this, contestants in this year’s competition are feverishly constructing headdresses so large and elaborate that they’ll make Miranda’s towering tutti-frutti chapeaus look like beanies. But as the ball has evolved over more than two decades, the humongous headdresses are sometimes overshadowed by what the

glam fundraiser now has to offer. “Things get a little crazy,” says Maggie King, development director for the event’s sponsor, the Hope and Help Center, whose mission is to end HIV/AIDS in Central Florida. “It’s a Las Vegas-style show, so you can see scantily clad men and women. And feathers.” Now in its 22nd year, the Headdress Ball was founded by local interior designers Sam Ewing and Hattie Wolfe not long after Ewing lost a friend to AIDS.

Last year’s ball attracted nearly 1,000 people, says King, and it usually nets about $300,000. This year, the high-spirited shindig will be held on Sept. 17 at the Hilton Orlando. And the creative team behind “Orlando’s Most Outrageous Black-Tie Event” is determined the evening will live up to its billing. “We go right up to the line,” says King. “Last year, we had a girl continued on page 10

conflicted. On the one hand, we automatically associate them with children’s entertainment. On the other, we often accept controversial behavior from puppets that we might not from human actors. Triumph the Insult Comic Dog (a Conan O’Brien buddy) has a much more wicked tongue than most human comedians. And in the Tony-winning Avenue Q: The Musical – a sort of grown-up Sesame Street – the puppet characters engage in activities that might make even Triumph shudder. “These puppets get away with things onstage in the show that we can’t generally do onstage in live theater,” says Steve MacKinnon, who’s directing a new production of Avenue Q at Theatre Downtown, Sept. 9-Oct. 9. “There’s full puppet nudity, and the puppets do engage in intimate relations onstage with each other.” The musical tells the story of Princeton, a recent college grad who’s feeling a little lost in the big city. Other puppet characters include Trekkie Monster, who has the same enormous appetite for pornography that Cookie Monster has always had for cookies; Lucy the Slut, whose name says it all; and Rod, a conservative, closeted homosexual. “We don’t just accept it,” says MacKinnon, of the show’s comic transgressions. “We actually crave it from the puppets. We love them to push the boundaries, and that’s what makes them so endearing.” Visit theatredowntown.net for more information. ORLANDO HOME & LEISURE

hanging upside down by her feet from the ceiling, pouring champagne.” This year’s theme is “One Night Under the Big Top,” so she promises “you’ll see a lot of crazy circus acts – along with drag queens.” The lightly louche evening will also feature a gourmet dinner, auctions and what might be termed G-string support. “Three times throughout the evening, we have dancers, both men and women, who get up on dancer boxes,” King explains. “People go up and tip them.” Whatever ends up in those G-strings will go to Hope and Help. Of course, the Headdress Ball wouldn’t be the Headdress Ball without that headdress contest. Each year, eight to 10 companies and individuals enter overthe-top toppers that take off on themes of all sorts, from princesses to pirates, cupcakes to dragons to whatever. Randy Lowe of Lowe and Behold, a local event-design company, is a multiple winner at the ball. He says one key to success is to keep in mind that size matters. “Once you get your headdress in a huge ballroom to compete with many other headdresses, everything has to be larger than life,” he advises. “The more dramatic the better.” Keven Callahan, director of merchandising for Universal Orlando and another multiple winner, agrees, adding, “Be true to what your theme is, and your story, and what you’re trying to say.” The economic downturn of recent years has hurt many local charity events, but Hope and Help has kept its ball rolling by remembering to put the “fun” in “fundraiser.” “We’re different from other charity events in that we don’t spend the evening talking about our services,” King notes. “We spend the evening entertaining, and we give the Central Florida community something that they can’t get anywhere else.” Carmen Miranda would have approved.

MILLIONS OF KIDS GO TO THE CIRCUS AND COME HOME
with new career aspirations. As a pre-teen growing up in Orlando, Amanda Orozco became one of them: She was forever changed after seeing La Nouba, the ongoing Cirque du Soleil production in Downtown Disney that incorporates circus performers. Inspired to become an aerialist, she eventually trained at a circus school in Montreal and became a performer with Cirque upon graduation. Her job “gives me the ability to do what I love to do and what I’ve trained to do while traveling the world,” she says. “I see a new city every week.” Orozco will be seeing a very familiar city this month: She’s a cast member in Dralion, a Cirque touring show that will be staged at the University of Central Florida Arena Sept. 21-25. She portrays Azala, the
goddess of air, executing elegant aerial ribbon routines in an Asian-inspired extravaganza that evokes the harmonious forces of nature. Orozco’s mother, who was initially skeptical of her daughter’s plan to run away to join the circus, will be in the audience. And she’ll have plenty of company. “I think I’m buying about 50 tickets,” says Orozco. “One of my favorite parts about my job now is being able to encourage people, regardless of what their profession or industry may be, to follow their dreams. Mine did not seem realistic, but if it’s something you have a love and passion for, anything is attainable.” Visit ucfarena.com for more information. – Hannah Mobarekeh

Playing a Lady, in Earnest PHOTO: COURTESY THE ORLANDO SHAKESPEARE THEATER
PHILIP NOLAN IS ONE OF ORLANDO’S MOST ACCOM-
plished stage actors, having played everyone from Antonio Salieri in Amadeus to Snoopy in You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown. Pro that he is, he took both those parts seriously. It stands to reason he’ll give equal weight to his latest role: He’ll play Lady Bracknell in Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest, which opens at the Shakespeare Theater Sept. 14. If it sounds like cross-gender stunt casting, well, Nolan doesn’t see it that way. “Lady Bracknell is a respectable woman of good manners and breeding,” he says. “It will be a pleasure to enjoy her social status, and the power that comes with it.” Jim Helsinger, artistic director of the Shakespeare Theater, has assured Nolan that he’ll be playing “Lady Bracknell, not ‘Lady Bracknell in drag.’” The veteran actor, who’s been a local favorite for two decades, finds the subject of Oscar Wilde’s place in the pantheon of playwrights a lot more interesting. “Oscar Wilde uses artful, heightened language in a way that has largely been lost, or at the very least, seldom emulated suc-

cessfully,” he says. “It [Earnest] is not only a charming drawingroom comedy, but also a jaw-dropping series of epigrams, with as much wit as one would find in 10 plays by lesser dramatists.” Although Nolen is talented enough to breathe new life into any character, he says he intends to portray Lady Bracknell exactly as Wilde intended. “My desire is to play Lady Bracknell respectfully. I hope that, with enough sincere intent, the audience may actually forget – for a few moments here and there – that there’s a man under all that lace. Which reminds me: I’ve got to buy a new razor.” Visit orlandoshakes.org for more information. – Rebekah Kubik

These world-weary, low-rent ragamuffins look like they’ve been through one too many spin cycles. Theatre Downtown is the first Central Florida company to tackle this ingeniously staged, Tony Award-winning musical about a naïve college graduate and his threadbare neighbors.

Sept. 20-25. peacefilmfest.org Turns out the Mayans are pretty hacked off about this end-ofthe-world thing. That’s the gist of 2012: The True Mayan Prophecy, a documentary featuring interviews with Mayan elders who insist that their much-discussed calendar presages the beginning of a new era, not the alleged apocalypse that everybody has been sniggering about. The film will be screened as part of the Global Peace Film Festival, which, like the Mayans, is often misunderstood. SEPTEMBER 2011

their well-appointed home in hopes of dealing peacefully with the situation. But the thin veneer of upscale gentility is soon stripped away as the parental summit becomes a dysfunctional free-for-all, pitting couple against couple and spouse against spouse. These are the kind of gut-wrenching scenes that actors and theater lovers cherish. “Never underestimate the pleasure of watching really good actors behaving terribly” was the first sentence in The New York Times review of God of Carnage when it opened on Broadway two years ago. The play, originally produced in France as Le Dieu du Carnage, has also spawned a soon-to-be-released movie version, adapted for the screen and directed by Roman Polanski. (It had to be filmed in France because of Polanski’s legal problems in the U.S.) The film version stars Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet, John C. Reilly and Christoph Waltz. The Shakespeare Theatre’s production will feature local stars Suzanne O’Donnell, Anne Hering and Rus Blackwell, with one part yet to be cast. ORLANDO HOME & LEISURE

The musical is one part send-up, one part tribute to all those Jazz Age musicals filled with goofy gangsters, glittery showgirls, cigar-smoking big shots and stage-door Johnnies. It’s cleverly scripted as a play-within-aplay: The musical itself has been imagined by the narrator, a lonely, nostalgic man who sits in his darkened living room listening to his collection of dusty old phonograph records. He longs for the days when Cole Porter and George Gershwin ruled old Broadway.
even the vampires themselves get spooked. That’s the delightfully ghoulish premise Empty Space Theatre impresario John DiDonna and company have conjured up for their second annual staging of vintage horror tales, replete with a supporting cast of macabre puppets and steam-trunk dancers. Last year there were banshees, Vlad the Impaler and Frankenstein’s monster. This time around, DiDonna’s telltale vampires have Edgar Allan Poe, Oscar Wilde and Lewis Carroll on tap. SEPTEMBER 2011

VAMPIRE’S BALL Bob Carr Performing Arts Center
Oct. 21-23 orlandoballet.org Again with the vampires. They’re so versatile. Some are teen heartthrobs, some tell scary bedtime stories and some dance – or at least they do for Orlando Ballet director Robert Hill. In a newly choreographed work-in-progress that will reflect his trademark fusion of pop culture and the classics, Hill says he’s hoping to combine modern vampire allusions with elements of La Bayèdere, the haunting Marius Petipa ballet about a murdered East Indian temple dancer whose vengeful ghost returns to earth to wreak destruction. It’s the same strategy Hill used in the catchy music and canny choreography of his “Battle of the Sexes” series, the third of which will be staged later in the season. But first come the vampires, along with their familiars: Be on the lookout for whatever suitably spooky and impeccably fashionable ensemble veteran ballet patron Harriet Lake will wear to the performance.

She also advocated for animal rights, spoke out against the Vietnam War, co-founded Ms. magazine and founded or helped found several feminist organizations, including the Women’s Action Alliance, the Coalition of Labor Union Women, and the National Women’s Political Caucus.
During the 1980s and ’90s, Steinem struggled with health issues and retreated, for a time, from her activism. She returned to the public arena in 2008, when she supported Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. She’ll be discussing “what the women’s movement should prioritize today to effectively transform tomorrow” in her Rollins appearance.

Les Mis, as it has come to be known, was a giant at a time of Broadway giants, towering even over Cats and Phantom of the Opera. It’s arguably the most successful musical in history – and that’s in the history of the world, by the way: Les Mis is still enjoying a historic run in London’s West End. Based on Victor Hugo’s epic novel about an 18th-century student uprising that foreshadowed the French Revolution, the musical follows the fortunes, over time, of Jean Valjean, a Frenchman imprisoned for stealing bread who must flee a police officer named Javert.

But Carousel, which the Phil performs with singers and actors as a fully staged production, is considered by many to be Rodgers and Hammerstein’s finest musical. Conjure up Julie Jordan singing the words “If I Loved You” in her duet with Billy Bigelow, the melody rising expectantly on the last two notes, the four single-syllable words carried aloft with their burden of shyness, doubt, passion and suspense. We’re going with the sentimental favorite here. Now you know why.

Place, a tourist-corridor steakhouse I first reviewed 19 years ago. It’s still owned by hotelier extraordinaire Harris Rosen, who named it for his father. And its walls are still covered with autographed celebrity caricatures, all of which were drawn by the elder Rosen when he was employed as a safety engineer at New York’s Waldorf Astoria. Jack dashed off the drawings whenever he would spot a luminary visiting the hotel. And there were obviously a lot of luminaries; the collection of signed caricatures is said to be the largest of its kind in the world, larger, even, than you’ll find at iconic Sardi’s. So I’m glad that aspect of Jack’s Place hasn’t changed. Its menu, however, has been revamped and refreshed by Chef Michael McMullen. While the mein remains that of a steakhouse, there’s more variety and the quality of the food, even of the steaks, has improved greatly. I had a chance to sample a number of the new items, and I was impressed. Perhaps the most aptly named new entry is “Jack’s Best,” a bisque of Bering Sea king crab and corn. It had a velvety smooth texture with little crunches of corn, and a richness in the mouth that was delightful. McMullen is also featuring an appetizer of spicy shrimp and grits, with a bit of cayenne pepper sauce and Gorgonzola in the grits. Other additions include rack of lamb, glazed with horseradish and maple mustard to complement the soft gaminess of the meat, and a veal chop, perfectly cooked and wonderful in its simplicity. Jack’s isn’t all meat, however. There’s also a terrific new sea bass entrée, baked on a cedar plank and graced with essence of white truffle and lemon with just a touch of thyme. There’s even a vegetarian option of ratatouille with herbed cheese in phyllo dough. Service was professional and courteous on my visit. The ambience of the room is upscale, with white tablecloths and dramatic lighting touches. It would be nice to see the delightful

Because it’s open 24 hours on weekends, Bananas Diner has become a popular choice for late-night, after-theater meals. The chicken and waffles entrée is always a tasty choice.
Eateries That Offer a Recipe for Some Enchanted Evenings IT’S ALWAYS FUN IF YOU’VE GOT theater or concert tickets to make a night of it with dinner out. It can be a meal before the show or a late-night bite afterward. Either way, you probably want something close to the venue. If you dine before the show, be sure to let your server know that you have a time constraint. It will help ensure the pace of the meal. Besides, it’s just fun to say, “We have an eight o’clock curtain to catch.” If you’d rather wait until afterward, well, there’s nothing wrong with comparing notes on the show over dinner, and decent, late-night meals are not impossible to find in this town. If you’re visiting the venues in Loch Haven Park, maybe an opening at the Mennello Museum or a play at Orlando Shakes or Winter Park Playhouse, you have several good pre-show choices. THE RAVENOUS PIG is just around the corner at 1234 N. Orange Avenue, Winter Park. Getting there early for a pre-show meal makes it more likely you’ll get a table. Don’t leave it to chance, though; call for a reservation. WHITE WOLF CAFÉ, 1829 N. Orange Ave., Orlando, is convenient, too. It’s also a good choice if you’re

attending a show at Theatre Downtown – you can walk between the two. For après theatre, head to BANANAS DINER, 924 N. Mills Ave., Orlando, which is open late every night and 24 hours on the weekends. Be warned, however: you may see more costumes there than you did on stage. If your entertainment venue is in Winter Park, say something at Rollins College, you have many choices up and down Park Avenue. PARK PLAZA GARDENS, 319 Park Ave. S., is elegant enough for a dressy night. LUMA on Park, 290 Park Ave., S., can be dressy or more casual. Late night? You’ll find some Winter Park establishments that stay open until 11 p.m. on the weekends, so just make sure you can get there before the kitchen closes. However, you’ll have a better chance with late-night dining in downtown Orlando, maybe tapas at CEVÍCHE, 125 W. Church St., or HAMBURGER MARY’S, 110 W.

Orange Ave., Orlando WHEN: Dinner Tuesday-Sunday; brunch Sunday WHY: Chef Reimund Pitz, who took over ownership of the restaurant a couple of years ago, has added a duck press to the kitchen, something that really needs to be experienced. Also, the restaurant has just implemented a Sunday brunch. CONTACT: 407-851-6980
AFRICAN Jiko The Cooking Place $$$ Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, Orlando, 407-939-3463 Jiko is the Swahili word for cooking place. Therefore, the full name of the restaurant translates to The Cooking Place The Cooking Place. Whatever. Jiko’s food may not be entirely authentic African cuisine, but it’s good. Be sure to try the ostrich schnitzel and the lamb shank, which, on my visit, was rubbed with a sauce spiced with berbere, a mixture of spices used in Ethiopian cooking. Service was about as good as I’ve seen at Disney restaurants. Menu knowledge was first-rate, and all the servers were attentive and prompt. Even more impressive was the servers’ grasp of the wine list, which boasts the largest collection of South African wines in North America.
AMERICAN The Boheme $$$ Grand Bohemian, 325 S. Orange Ave., Orlando, 407-581-4700 The Boheme has grown into a more consistent finedining experience but now is trying to position itself as more accessible. Try the Kessler calamari, a silly name for a delicious appetizer, and follow with the lamb duet or the Chilean sea bass. The kitchen also has a way with scallops. Citrus $$$ 821 N. Orange Ave., Orlando, 407-373-0622 The kitchen has improved greatly since the restaurant first opened and is now turning out some pretty tasty dishes. There’s a very popular citrus salad named for Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer. Skirt-steak flatbread and the bacon cheddar burger are other favorites.
CRAVE $$$ 4158 Conroy Road, Orlando 407-345-8788 This is the fourth location for a Minneapolis-area chain whose slogan is “Fresh, Vibrant, American,” which doesn’t explain the sushi bar. But the sushi is good, as are most of the other items. There’s a little something for everyone – pizzas, pastas, steaks, seafood. The decor is upscale, but this can be a very loud place to dine. Dexter’s $$ 558 W. New England Ave., Winter Park, 407-629-1150 808 E. Washington St., Orlando, 407-648-2777 950 Market Promenade Ave., Lake Mary, 407-805-3090 There are three distinct Dexter’s, but all offer the same basic menu, which is un-ambitious but functional. Much more emphasis is placed on producing a lively atmosphere, which often includes live music. For food, the pressed duck sandwich is a classic. And the chicken tortilla pie, a tall, layered affair, is one of those things you feel guilty for liking but keep ordering each time you go.

bit of heat in the salsa, which was served with a basket of chips. The only disappointment was the xochitl (SOH-chee-til) soup. Xochitl means flower, but this was a chickenbroth soup with avocado, pico de gallo and cheese. However, the broth had a fatty mouth feel and tasted more beeflike than chickenlike. That greasiness detracted from any positive aspects of the soup. But that was the only negative. I especially liked the huevos rancheros I had on a brunch visit. Two perfectly fried eggs were served on compact corn tortillas and topped with a bit of melted queso blanco and red rancheros sauce. (The menu said guacamole, but I don’t recall seeing any. It wasn’t missed, either.) The long plate – which glided across the wooden table every time I tried to cut something; I finally had to place a napkin under it – was bookended with red Mexican rice and black beans. On an evening visit I had the carnitas tacos, which featured braised pork, a bit of orange zest and candied onions distributed among three corn tortillas. A bit of fresh cilantro helped liven it up. My friend had the carne asada, a marinated skirt steak, perfectly grilled to medium-rare, served over sautéed vegetables and accompanied by a tangy chimichurri salsa. Delicious. And at $19, one of the restaurant’s most expensive items. My carnitas and huevos rancheros were $10 each. It’s a very reasonably priced menu. Service was friendly, but lacked focus and polish. It didn’t seem as though everyone was working from the same training manual (assuming there is one). Overall, though, Cocina 214 is a good restaurant, and I like adding a Tex-Mex flavor to the Park Avenue lineup.
Emeril’s Orlando $$$$ Universal Orlando CityWalk, 407-224-2424 The food can be very good, but the quality can also be spotty. It’s a very noisy restaurant, too, so it’s not a good choice for a romantic meal. But if you can, choose a spot at the bar for your meal, it’s more entertaining. The menu changes frequently, but if Lagasse’s oyster stew is on the menu, order as big a bowl as you can. Funky Monkey Pointe Orlando $$ 9101 International Drive, Orlando, 407-418-9463 A second location for the popular Mills-50 original, this Monkey is less funky — at least from the outside — but still has all the good food and wine inside that has made it a local favorite. Although you wouldn’t get it from the name, sushi is a forte. But you’ll also find more substantial fare, such as bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin — ah, nothing like pork products garnished with more pork products. You may also find entertainment here with the occasional show of drag. La Coquina $$$$ Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress, 1 Grand Cypress Blvd., Orlando, 407-239-1234 La Coquina has been relegated to use only during Sunday brunch. But oh what a brunch it is, with a wall full of awards and accolades to attest to it. The various food stations are set up in the kitchen, where guests enter to load up on salads, soups, cold seafood, salumi, cheeses and such. When you’re ready for your entrée, step up to the chef’s station and place your order from among the day’s options. The chef then prepares it for you on the spot. No steam tables here. LUMA on Park $$$ 290 Park Ave. S., Winter Park, 407-599-4111 Under the direction of Chef Brandon McGlamery, this stylishly chic restaurant on trendy Park Avenue has become a real jewel in Central Florida’s culinary corona. The dining room can be a bit noisy. The decor is still modish, even after four years. And the automated restrooms with their sliding glass doors and confusing washbasins still annoy me. A fun thing to do here is make a feast of small plates, but if you want to have a full entrée try the flank steak or the black grouper. Norman’s $$$$ Ritz-Carlton, 4000 Central Florida Parkway, Orlando, 407-393-4333 Owner Norman Van Aken is one of the founders of Floribbean or New World Cuisine and arguably one of Florida’s most celebrated chefs. Van Aken and the Ritz-Carlton have teamed up to present the sort of fine-dining experience seldom seen in Orlando. The menu changes regularly, but if it’s your first visit, ask your waiter for some of Van Aken’s signature dishes. A dinner at Norman’s is pricey — it’s the Ritz for crying out loud! — but it’s worth an occasional splurge. Seasons 52 $$ 7700 Sand Lake Road, Orlando, 407-354-5212 The original conceit of the restaurant was that something somewhere was coming into season every week of the year. The kitchen has gotten away from following that concept too closely but continues to offer entrées with lots of flavor and fewer calories. You won’t notice a difference

F L AV O R L I S T I N G S when you taste the grilled pork with polenta or the filet mignon. If you start feeling too goody-goody, go crazy and order all the mini desserts. There is a second location at 463 E. Altamonte Drive, Altamonte Springs (in front of Altamonte Mall), 407-767-1252. Toojay’s $-$$ Various locations, including: Colonial Market Plaza, 2400 E. Colonial Drive, Orlando, 407-894-1718 Whenever I feel a cold coming on, I head right for Toojay’s for some chicken soup. The rich golden broth, with or without noodles, may not cure the cold, but it doesn’t hurt. Others go here for the big overstuffed sandwiches, potato pancakes and blintzes. The Venetian Room $$$$ Caribe Royale Hotel, 8101 World Center Drive, Orlando, 407-238-8060 This fine-dining holdout is pricey, but Chef Khalid Benghallem’s French/American food is very good. I enjoyed the appetizer of foie gras, which had two seared lobes layered in an alternating stack with cakes made with smoked polenta. My favorite among the entrées was the tenderloin of beef – two thick slabs of seared meat served with marrow, barley, rhubarb, chard, fennel strudel and red-wine reduction sauce, tinged with black truffles. For dessert, share the soufflé. Vineyard Grill $$$ Ritz-Carlton, 4012 Central Florida Parkway, Orlando, 407-206-2400 A hidden gem among the jewels, the Vineyard Grill does a better than expected job with its American cuisine of steaks and seafoods. Its Sunday brunch is developing a loyal local following.
BARBECUE Blackwater Bar-b-q $ 3405 Edgewater Drive, Orlando, 407-447-9511 I prefer the College Park location to the South Orlando spot, but that’s just me. Blackwater does a little bit of everything. You’ve got pulled pork. You’ve got sliced beef or sliced chicken. There are baby back ribs and St. Louis style ribs. I liked most of everything I sampled at Blackwater. The pulled pork was especially good, moist and tender with a taste of smoke that made extra sauce superfluous. And the baby back and St. Louis style ribs were pretty tasty, too. I especially liked the spiciness of the dry rub on the ribs.
BRAZILIAN Nelore $$$ 115 Lyman Ave., Winter Park, 407-645-1112 A Brazilian churrascaria where the buffet comes to your table! Go hungry, pace yourself, just nibble until you find something you love and keep calling the gaucho (that’s what the servers are called) back until you’re full. Here’s how it works: Diners are given a little disk to put next to their plates. One side is green and the other side is red. Green go; red stop. As long as the green side is facing up the servers will offer you meats. When you’ve had enough or just need a breather turn the red side up. Don’t miss the caipirinha and mojito.
CHINESE Eastern Pearl $$ 5749 T.G. Lee Blvd., Orlando, 407-373-6888 This is the second location for the acclaimed Altamonte Springs Chinese restaurant, winner of more than a few Foodie Awards, including several Critic’s Choice nods. The atmosphere is more stylish and the food is more creative than at many other local Chinese restaurants. The decor is pleasant and so is the staff.
CUBAN
GREEK
Padrino’s Cuban Bistro $$ 13586 S. John Young Parkway, Orlando, 407-251-5107 I’m prepared to call this the best Cuban restaurant in Central Florida. It’s really that good. A family operation out of South Florida, Padrino’s features both traditional Cuban dishes and some more stylized bistro items, and they’re served in a pleasant bright dining room. The owners are usually at the restaurant tending to the customers and making sure that everything is first-rate. And it usually is.
Greek Corner $$ 1600 N. Orange Ave., Orlando, 407-228-0303 It’s Greek, and it’s on the corner; you can’t get more succinct than that. But no corners are cut on the quality. All your Greek favorites are here served in a small unassuming space. I supped on the melitzanosalata, a dip made with roasted eggplant, and followed with a bowl of tangy argolemono, the chicken soup thickened with a lemony egg sauce. For my main course I had the moussaka, a big brick of seasoned beef, eggplant and potatoes topped with a fluffy béchamel. Substantial and delicious. If it’s a warm day — it’s Florida; the odds are in your favor — sit on the patio across the street from Lake Ivanhoe.
FRENCH Café de France $$ 526 Park Ave. S., Winter Park, 407-647-1869 Café de France is a Park Avenue mainstay, surviving the iconic thoroughfare’s slump in the ‘90s and prospering during its recent revival as one of the area’s premier dining destinations. Locals love the quaintness of its small dining room and the charm of its hostess and owner, Dominique Gutierrez. Though not everything on the menu is strictly French, the ingredients are always fresh and specials change daily. Chez Vincent $$$ 533 W. New England Ave., Winter Park, 407-599-2929 Chez Vincent continues to serve classic French dishes in pleasant, if slightly worn, surroundings. Chef/ owner Vincent Gagliano is a master with soup, and the coquille St. Jacques is one of the better seafood entrées. Steak au poivre is a good choice for a meat dish. The waiters here allow the guests to dictate the pace of the meal. If Chez Vincent has survived over the years, it’s because there is an appreciation among Central Florida diners for a quiet place to enjoy a good classically prepared meal.
GERMAN/ EASTERN EUROPEAN Hollerbach’s Willow Tree Café $$ 205 E. 1st St., Sanford, 407-321-2204 Voted the second best German restaurant in the U.S. by readers of GermanDeli.com for 2009. (Bavarian Grill of Plano, Texas was number one; go figure.) I’m not in a position to say it merits the national rank, but I’m prepared to call it the best German restaurant in Central Florida. Although the surroundings leave something to be desired, there’s good German food to be had here. Have a schnitzel or the sausage platter, but beware: it’s a lot of food. The place is especially festive Thursdays through Sundays when there is entertainment. Oom-pah-pah! Steak & Salad $$ 1326 N. Mills Ave., Orlando, 407-898-0999 Eateries don’t get a lot more eclectic than this. As the names suggests, steaks and salads are a focus of the menu. But so is an array of authentic Turkish dishes that represent the owners’ native cuisine. And it’s those items that should get your attention when you visit.

INDIAN Memories of India $$ Bay Hill Plaza, 7625 Turkey Lake Road, Orlando, 407-370-3277 Memories of India is a delightful place with wonderful food served in a pleasant atmosphere. One of my favorites among the many entrées was the chicken saagwala, which featured tender chunks of chicken breast meat plus potatoes in a creamy curry made of spinach and spices. I also liked the lamb vindaloo, cubes of lamb marinated in a vinegary gravy and cooked with potatoes and pearl onions in freshly ground spices. Be careful: hot means hot. Order accordingly. And be further warned: food comes out of the kitchen at a snail’s pace. Slow means slow.
ITALIAN Antonio’s La Flamma $$$ 611 S. Orlando Ave., Maitland; 407-645-1035 When Greg Gentile opened this massive two-story restaurant in a renovated family steakhouse, everyone thought he was crazy and that the place would close in one year. That was about two decades ago. Why did it succeed? Simple: good food, good service and an atmosphere for everyone; fine dining upstairs and a casual deli down. The upstairs has recently been expanded to include patio dining. Antonio’s Ristorante $$$ 7559 West Sand Lake Road, Orlando; 407-3639191. Think of it as Antonio’s La Fiamma without the deli downstairs. The Restaurant Row outpost offers an elegant Italian dining option. BiCE $$$$ Portofino Bay, 5601 Universal Blvd., Orlando 407-503-1415 Dinner at BiCE is not an inexpensive night out. But when you consider cost vs. quality, you’ll find that BiCE is not overpriced. Just consider the restaurant’s signature dish, ravioli stuffed with beef short ribs and spinach. The pasta was delicately thin and tender, and the braised meat inside had a rich, fatty mouthfeel that blossomed with the sauce of mushrooms and Marsala wine. Absolute heaven. Desserts are worth lingering over. Café d’Antonio $$$ 691 Front St., Celebration; 407-566-2233 A smaller version of Greg Gentile’s flagship restaurant Antonio’s La Fiamma, Café d’Antonio is a consistently good choice for residents and visitors in Celebration. Rocco’s Italian Grille $$$ 400 S. Orlando Ave., Winter Park, 407-644-7770 This old space, which has held Italian restaurants for decades, has been re-imagined into a beautiful restaurant. The menu is classic, and some things are done very well. The veal Milanese was brilliant. Fritto SEPTEMBER 2011

The Oceanaire Seafood Room $$$ Pointe Orlando, 9101 International Drive, Orlando, 407-363-4801 The promise of a good seafood restaurant has sailed into Central Florida aboard The Oceanaire. The Oceanaire Seafood Room is meant to take you back in time with an interior that suggests a 1930’s ocean liner. Sample some of the fresh fish selections after you enjoy the crab cake appetizer. It’s a bit pricey, but quality is worth paying for.
Capital Grille $$$$ The Pointe Orlando, 9101 International Drive, Orlando, 407-370-4392 One of Darden Restaurants’ most recent acquisitions and easily their most upscale. The steaks here are very good, and the service is attentive if not downright solicitous. I had the Delmonico that had a flavorful, well-seasoned crust and beautiful red center. Atmosphere is clubby and posh.
Hanamizuki $$ 8255 International Drive, Orlando, 407-363-7200 Hanamizuki’s menu features Kyoto-style cooking, which tends to be more elegant and formal than many of the dishes served in most American Japanese restaurants. It also focuses more on fresh vegetables and seafood other than sushi, although that’s also available. Don’t be surprised to find a predominantly Japanese clientele here. No small wonder when the restaurant’s website is written in Japanese (you can opt into a translation). Wa $$$ 5911 Turkey Lake Road, Orlando 407-226-0234 Ostensibly a Japanese restaurant, Wa could pass for a French Bistro. Some of its daily specials include such things as truffle fries and bacon-stuffed quail. A very stylish space, but one that is difficult to locate.
MEXICAN Cantina Laredo $$ 8000 Via Dellagio Way (one block west of Dr. Phillips Blvd.), Orlando, 407-345-0186 The menu isn’t exactly authentic Mexican – the nachos, fajitas and crepes wouldn’t be found on many menus south of our border, unless it was a restaurant specializing in Ameri-Mex cuisine. But the food done
Winter Park Fish Company $$ 761 Orange Ave., Winter Park, 407-622-6112 Chef George Vogelbacher has teamed up with area restaurateur Craig Tremblay for this casual, orderat-the-counter fish market that has Winter Parkers packing it in. Bouillabaisse is about the most ambitious item, but everything is undoubtedly fresh and delicious.
STEAKHOUSE Bull & Bear $$$$ Waldorf Astoria, 14200 Bonnet Creek Resort Lane, Orlando, 407-597-5500 The first Waldorf Astoria to be built outside of Manhattan also features a steakhouse called Bull & Bear, just like New York. Well, not exactly like New York. The decor here is less dark and clubby; it’s actually quite an attractive room with windows overlooking the resort’s pool area (and Disney fireworks in the
Del Frisco’s Prime Steak & Lobster $$$$ 729 Lee Road, Orlando, 407-645-4443 The steaks here are always high quality. The atmosphere isn’t quite as posh as some of the other topdrawer steakhouses, but it at least rises to meet the price point, which is high. Since you’ll probably be having meat for your main entrée — and if you’re not, why are you here? — have the fried oysters for your appetizer. What, you’re worried about the cholesterol? Again I have to ask: Why are you here?
SUSHI Izziban $$ 1700 W. Sand Lake Road, Orlando, 407-850-5088 Really good sushi, if somewhat unorthodox. For something really special, try the restaurant’s namesake Izziban roll. It has tempura shrimp and asparagus with cream cheese rolled in rice. The cream cheese alone would be enough to give sushi purists

Part of the enjoyment of this entrĂŠe, and indeed most every dish served here, was the elegant presentation, which almost invariably included luminous purple orchid blooms as plate garnish. (Yes, orchid petals are edible, but, frankly, I enjoy looking at them much more than ingesting them.)

CafĂŠ 118Âş $$ 153 E. Morse Blvd., Winter Park, 407-389-2233 If veganism can be deďŹ ned as extreme vegetarianism, the raw food movement could be classiďŹ ed as extreme veganism. The 118 in the restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name refers to the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit to which some of the foods here are heated.

Raw foods, they assert, aid in digestibility and cell reconstruction, among other things, according to information on CafĂŠ 118â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s menu. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t attest to any of that.

Time to Help Yourself Caregivers need to replenish their spirits and bodies.
I
f you’ve lost a loved one, especially if you were a hands-on
caregiver, you know how difficult it is to cope with the emptiness. It’s hard to imagine moving forward and getting back to a normal routine. But you will. And part of the process is making sure you’re taking care of your own health. I have a friend who recently lost his elderly mother, who had battled illness for a decade. His father was her main caregiver, and is having a very difficult time adjusting to life without his partner of 50 years. He’s lost his appetite, and he’s experiencing insomnia. He’s mentally and physically drained. It’s a familiar situation, especially to those who were caregivers for terminally ill spouses, children or friends. When you’re depressed and depleted, it’s hard to eat well, or to eat at all, for that matter. It’s a particular problem for seniors, who require fewer calories but need more of certain nutrients. A poor diet, aggravated by stress and grief, can wreck havoc on the body. For example, simple things, such as drinking water during the day, are forgotten. But going without water can initially result in mild dehydration, the symptoms of which include dry mouth, lack of energy and loss of appetite. Severe dehydration could result in rapid heart rate, dizziness and headaches. The physical impact is easy to dismiss as a side effect of emotional turmoil. But it’s important to remember that dehydration can send you to the hospital. If you’ve recently been a caregiver and are trying to cope with a loss, it’s important to remember that recovering mentally is, in large part, dependent on your physical condition. So, what can you do? You probably have leftover casseroles or meals that friends or neighbors have prepared. Have someone help you freeze them in individual portions. Be sure to date and label what’s in the container. Meals that you can pull out of the freezer and thaw, heat and eat are great when you just can’t bring yourself to cook. Then, when the neighbors’ offerings start to run low, make a grocery list of basic, simple, easy-to-prepare items such as: ■ Fortified whole grain cereal, whole grain bread and whole grain crackers. There’s nothing wrong with a good, healthy bowl of cereal with skim or soy milk, a peanut butter sandwich or whole grain crackers with cheese or peanut butter. Don’t for-

Also, keep a small amount of easy-toeat fruit, such as apples, bananas, grapes and berries in season, or pre-packed cutup fruit on hand. Fruit has high water content and helps to rehydrate the body. Besides nutrition and health, many other factors contribute to successfully navigating the grieving process. You’ll find terrific resources available online to help, including Orlando’s Hospice of the Comforter (hospiceofthecomforter.org) and the National Hospice and Pallative Care Organization (nhpco.org). Another rich source of information for caregivers is caregivercentral.org, which is part of Share the Care, a Central Florida non-profit agency. ■
get granola bars or other healthy bars with nuts, soy or dried fruit. I’ve been known to eat cereal for dinner many times. ■ Nuts such as cashews or almonds. Nuts are handy to snack on. Plus, you can find nuts mixed with dried fruit and even in the occasional helping of M&Ms. Small packages are available now for almost everything, so you don’t have to keep as much food on hand. ■ Sandwiches and snacks. Eggs are simple to hard boil, while cans of tuna or chicken breast make easy sandwiches or can be eaten with crackers. Even microwavable mac-and-cheese is very easy to prepare. There are many brands available, some with individual pouches for several meals. ■ Low- and non-fat dairy products such as yogurt, milk or low-lactose milk and soy milk. These are all good sources of protein,

calcium and other nutrients. Some companies, including Kraft, make “cracker cuts” – cheese that’s ready to put on a cracker. ■ Bright-colored vegetables such as carrots and broccoli. Veggies now come in small packages and even individual portions – think kids’ lunchboxes – so you don’t have any waste. Plus, the more brightly colored the vegetable, the greater the health benefits, thanks to a rich assortment of plant compounds called phytochemicals, which have antioxidant properties and help protect against heart disease and cancer.

ike many Floridians, Don Warzocha is an avid golfer. In fact, he and a group of friends played each week, frequenting several Central Florida courses. However, for the past several years, pain in Don’s knee had kept him from enjoying his favorite activity – and his game was suffering. Don feared knee replacement surgery might keep him off his feet for months and permanently limit his mobility. A former Air Force fighter pilot, Don works at Orlando International Airport training pilots for Air Tran Airways. He spends a great deal of time on the move and worried that the procedure would affect both his professional and personal life. That is, until he was introduced to Dr. Steve Nguyen, whom a friend had described as being on the leading edge of knee surgery. “Once I made the decision to go visit Dr. Nguyen, the surgery decision was easy,” Don says. He no longer feared the longterm impact after learning that Dr. Nguyen’s revolutionary Freedom Knee procedure would not require the long, painful recovery usually expected following traditional knee surgery. Don was also impressed by Dr. Nguyen’s non-aggressive approach when reviewing the pros and cons of surgery. “He told me not to make a decision based on the x-rays,” Don adds. “He said that it was a personal decision that I would need to make, based on whether or not I wanted to recapture a quality of life that was now compromised. That statement was something I
greatly respected, and made me think of my situation in a different light.” Though Dr. Nguyen’s revolutionary Freedom Knee procedure gets patients up and moving within days versus weeks, the acclaimed physician never rushes a patient into surgery. “For most, it’s a personal decision on pain management – if the pain is something they can live with, then surgery may not be the best option,” Dr. Nguyen notes. “However, for patients like Don, for whom the pain prohibits them from enjoying daily activities, surgery might be a good path to explore.” Prior to his surgery last fall, Don was playing a few rounds of golf every month – a schedule that slowly decreased over time due to chronic knee pain. However, only three weeks after surgery, Don was able to enjoy a round of golf. In fact, he played three times that week. Don has been playing at least twice a week since his surgery, and happily proclaims: “My game is improving. Dr. Nguyen gave me back an important part of my life.” To learn more about Dr. Nguyen and his Freedom Joint procedures, please contact us about his free educational seminars.

inter Park Towers, a charming neighborhood in this lively jewel of a city, has long been one of Central Florida’s most desirable – and successful – active living communities. Residents occupy luxuriously appointed apartments, garden apartments or spacious single-family homes and villas in beautifully landscaped neighborhoods along the shores of sparkling Lake Berry. Because the 421-home community is virtually always at or near full occupancy, many on-the-go retirees have had to go on waiting lists and hope that a vacancy eventually occurs. Now, with a major expansion program under way, those who have coveted the Winter Park Towers lifestyle will have an opportunity to experience it – if they act quickly. Loch Berry, a new apartment complex, will add an additional 54 state-of-the-art, two-bedroom homes to the community’s offerings. A 383-vehicle parking garage is part of the $21 million-plus project, which will be complete by late 2012. Demand for the Loch Berry units is expected to be strong – and it’s easy to understand why. Winter Park Towers is known for its premier Florida lifestyle, offering such amenities as its own party boat exclusively for the use of residents and guests. The community offers

Winter Park has for years been the region’s cultural hub, with world-class galleries and museums as well as several popular theatrical troupes. Nearby Winter Park Village is packed with more restaurants, nightspots and movie theaters. Winter Park Towers also provides a full continuum of care.

THE OUTLOOK IS
POSITIVE by Glenn Shirley
No medical diagnosis is more feared than Alzheimer’s disease. But there’s new hope, thanks to researchers in Central Florida.

hen singer Glen Campbell announced that he had early stage Alzheimer’s disease, the degenerative neurological malady once again made international headlines. Campbell had recently been savaged by critics for erratic concert performances and went public, he said, so his fans would understand why he sometimes struggled to remember lyrics. Former President Ronald Reagan suffered from Alzheimer’s after leaving the White House, and perhaps while living there. Reagan’s friend Charlton Heston was stricken with Alzheimer’s. Actress Rita Hayworth, boxer Sugar Ray Robinson, singer Perry Como, artist Norman Rockwell and composer Aaron Copeland also died from the disease. Clearly, Alzheimer’s doesn’t discriminate. And the luminaries listed above, regardless of their resources, had no better success at staving off the ravages of the disease than our own parents and grandparents. There is no cure and, as yet, no particularly effective treatment. No new Alzheimer’s medications have been approved for use in more than eight years. But there may be hope. “The outlook is positive,” says Dr. Ira J. Goodman, a physician at Compass Research, an Orlandobased facility that conducts clinical trails related to the treatment of Alzheimer’s and other neurological disorders. “There are some promising things happening. Five or 10 years down the road, there may be some good treatments available.” This past summer, a study by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, estimated how many Alzheimer’s cases might be attributable to modifiable behaviors or conditions, including physical inactivity, lack of education, smoking, depression, hypertension, obesity and diabetes. WWW.FOREVERYOUNGMAGORLANDO.COM
The authors, using a mathematical model, surmised that these behaviors and conditions are responsible for about half of the roughly 5.3 million Alzheimer’s cases in the United States and 34 million cases worldwide. According to the study, if people took action – by exercising, quitting smoking, going back to school or losing weight – a significant number of Alzheimer’s cases could be prevented. Reducing these risk factors by 10 percent, the researchers estimated, could prevent 1.1 million cases worldwide; reducing these risk factors by 25 percent could prevent more than 3 million cases. In an editorial accompanying the study, both published in the journal Lancet Neurology, Dr. Laura Fratiglioni, director of the Aging Research Center at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, cautioned that the estimates “could be regarded as only theoretical” until more rigorous research is done. But Goodman and others believe the researchers may be on to something. “There is very strong data to support the theory that lifestyle factors can impact Alzheimer’s,” says Goodman, who is directing a study to see if there are also links between the incidence of Alzheimer’s and such factors as socialization and spirituality. But even if the evidence is far from conclusive regarding Alzheimer’s, addressing the risk factors identified in the study can help improve overall health in a variety of ways. “What’s good for the heart is also good for the head,” says Goodman, who is also investigating the impact of “medical food” on the disease. A medical food is a dietary supplement that helps manage a disease or condition that causes nutritional deficiencies. Last year, a National Institutes of Health panel of experts concluded that “no evidence of even moderate scientific qualFOREVER YOUNG

In other words, this may be what happens before you get Alzheimer’s,” says Hickman. Another UCF researcher has discovered that a compound called bromodeoxyuridine may improve the odds that stem cells transplanted from a patient’s bone marrow will help take over the functions of cells damaged by Alzheimer’s disease and other neurological illnesses. A research team led by Kiminobu Sugaya, a UCF professor with a Ph.D in pharmacology, found that treating bone marrow cells in laboratory cultures with the compound made adult human stem cells more likely to develop as brain cells after they were implanted in adult rat brains. Sugaya and his colleagues hope to demonstrate that stem cells transplanted from a patient’s blood or bone marrow can be an effective treatment for Alzheimer’s and other neurological diseases, because they can replace cells that die from those ailments. “By using a patient’s own stem cells instead of embryonic stem cells, we’re able to avoid the ethical concerns many people have about stem-cell research,” Sugaya says. “We also don’t have to worry about the immune system rejecting the new cells.” Still, early and definitive detection offers the best hope for truly effective treatment, say experts. By the time Alzheimer’s symptoms begin to show, the disease is in its final stages. Says Goodman: “It may be decades before a person becomes symptomatic.” ■ WWW.FOREVERYOUNGMAGORLANDO.COM
The Alzheimer’s and Dementia Resource Center in Orlando began as a small support-group meeting in an Orlando woman’s dining room.
A FRIEND INDEED
Center offers help and support. The Florida Legislature showed unusual foresight in 1985 when it founded the Alzheimer’s Disease Initiative. But it might not have happened without the advocacy of an Orlando woman, Pat Jimison, who was primary caregiver for her husband, Jack, who was stricken by the disease in his 50s. The initiative established 14 memory-disorder clinics statewide and funded both adult day-care facilities for Alzheimer’s victims and respite programs for their caregivers. In addition, it created a “brain bank” where doctors examine the brains of deceased Alzheimer’s patients, both to provide family members with a definitive diagnosis and to further research. Jimison, now retired and living in North Carolina, also founded the Alzheimer’s and Dementia Resource Center in Orlando. “Pat was looking for help when her husband was diagnosed,” says Nancy Squillacioti, director of the center. “This started out as a support group in someone’s kitchen. Then she went to the Legislature and told them, ‘Hey, guys, this is a growing problem and we’re going to be in big trouble if we don’t do something now.’” The center, located on Lake Highland Drive, offers support, referral and counseling services. It’s also the administrative headquarters for the state’s brain bank – the brains are actually stored at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville.

Universal Appeal How to retrofit your home and age comfortably in place.
C
entral Florida remodeler Jack McGrath is about to tackle a whole-house remodel that will feature wide doorways, a shower with a no-step entry and extra space in the bathroom for grab bars. But the clients aren’t elderly. Like all of us, however, they someday will be – if they’re lucky. And they’re planning ahead by incorporating aging-in-place and universal-design concepts into their remodeling project. “It’s a smart move,” says McGrath of Longwood-based Jonathan McGrath Construction, a Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS). “This will probably be their last home, and they want to be comfortable in it as their needs change.” Carolyn Sithong, an occupational therapist who owns Home for Life Consulting and Design, says clients like McGrath’s are becoming the rule rather than the exception. “The demand for aging-in-place services will begin to reshape healthcare as baby boomers age and choose to remain in their current homes,” she adds. Members of the baby-boom generation – those born between 1946 and 1964 – began turning 65 this year. Those 65 and older made up almost 13 percent of the U.S. population in 2010, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, while the group right behind them, those between 45 and 64, comprised 26 percent. Clearly, building and remodeling homes for an aging population will be a challenge for many years to come. That’s why smart contractors are increasingly embracing the concepts of aging-in-place and universal design. Leon Harper, a founding member of the National Home Modification Action Coalition, a group of gerontology and design activists, describes the typical American home as a “Peter Pan” house – built for able-bodied young adults and sold as if they’ll be able to stay there for the rest of their lives without ever having to change a thing. But that simply isn’t reality. Changes that accompany aging may include reduced vision, decreased muscle strength, impaired memory, diminished hearing and limited mobility due to such afflictions as arthritis or osteoporosis. “Middle-aged people and even older people don’t like to think about it, but they can become disabled,” Harper says. “When they break a leg and can’t use the bathroom, or get sick and can’t climb the stairs, they begin to think, ‘I’m stupid. I’m useless.’ But I tell them, ‘It’s not you, it’s the house.’”
Aging-in-place and universal design are terms that are sometimes used interchangeably. There are, however, degrees of difference. An aging-in-place project is one through which a home is built or retrofitted to meet the changing needs of an aging occupant. While universal design encompasses aging-in-place concepts, it is age-neutral. The term was coined by Ronald Lawrence Mace, a polio victim who devoted his life as an architect and industrial designer to devising environments suitable for everyone, regardless of age or condition. Thus the two disciplines sometimes overlap. “Aging-in-place design is a home that actually works for all ages,” Sithong says. “Many of the design features that we use for the elderly also work wonderfully for children.” A zero-step entry, for example, works as well for a mother with a baby stroller as it does for an 80-year-old with a walker. Likewise grab bars in a bathroom are great for the elderly but are equally handy for a pregnant woman or for someone recovering from surgery. “Universal design and aging-in-place involve creating living environments that are comfortable and accessible for all people in all stages of life,” adds Sithong, “This type of environment promotes independence in the home, allowing you to remain there for the long term.” Homes incorporating principles of aging-in-place and universal design include such user-friendly details as wide doorways, rocker light switches, single-lever faucets and kitchen cabinets with adjustable shelving. Floorplans are open, with wide hallways and wide entries that are covered and step-free, thereby facilitating access for wheelchairs and eliminating trip hazards for everyone else. Not surprisingly, bathrooms are most frequently targeted for aging-in-place and universal-design rehabs. “Bathrooms should have ample space for maneuvering,” Sithong says. “Roll-in showers are preferable for facilitating access and grab bars should be properly placed to allow safe transfers and to assist with balance. Hand-held sprayers are perfect for those who need to sit while they bathe.” Handsome, taller toilets are now made to help those who have difficulty stooping and standing.

TRENDS IN UNIVERSAL DESIGN Local experts offer plenty of suggestions for homeowners looking to incorporate aging-in-place and universal design elements into their remodeling plans. Here are a few of their ideas: In the bathroom, use non-slip ďŹ&#x201A;ooring. Also, install a chair-height toilet and a low- or no-threshold shower with a built-in bench or seat. Add grab bars in the bathroom or reinforce the walls so they can be added later. In the kitchen, use easy-access storage such as pull-out shelves and appliances such as a side-by-side refrigerator and dishwasher drawers. Create multi-level countertops with open space underneath so a person can work while seated. At least one entry into the home should have no steps and be 32 inches wide or more. Hallways and corridors should be at least three feet wide. Lower light switches and thermostats should be installed so they can easily be reached by someone in a wheelchair. Also, use rocker-style light switches. Use lever-style door handles and faucets, which are easier to open and turn on. Choose front-loading laundry appliances and consider raising them on pedestals.
No-threshold showers, chair-height toilets, drawer-style dishwashers and multilevel countertops are all typical universal design elements.

The device features a heated seat, air purification and a stream of warm water aimed at the front or rear of the user’s anatomy, followed by a rush of warm air for paperless drying. Americans, unaccustomed to bidets, may poke fun at the product. But it’s easy to see how it could solve hygiene problems and enhance independence for those who, because of age or physical challenges, have difficulty moving. Kitchens are also being made over for safety and easy access. An aging-in-place or universal-design kitchen project might include replacing base cabinet half-shelves with roll-out trays or adding swing-out or Lazy-Susan accessories to hard-toreach base-corner cabinets. Replacing cabinet knobs with easier-to-use pulls is especially helpful for those with arthritis or Parkinson’s. Likewise, knobstyle faucets are easier to operate than their lever-handled cousins. Induction cooktops are preferable because they use magnetic energy and only generate heat directly below the pot, thereby reducing the chance of someone with vision or memory challenges – or curious children, for that matter – from burning themselves on a hot surface. Under-wall cabinet lighting creates brighter work surfaces, 24

which can mean the difference between a perfectly julienned carrot and a painfully jabbed fingertip – especially for those with vision challenges. As an added benefit, under-cabinet lighting can make the kitchen look bigger. Slick floors should be treated with an anti-slip treatment. Polished travertine is beautiful, but presents a risk of falls. In fact, one of three people 65 or older suffers a serious fall every year. To avoid this potential hazard, look into an anti-slip treatment or replace the floor with a non-slip finish. “Many of these ideas can be easily implemented,” Sithong adds. “Changing faucets, handles and light switches is as simple as using them. Lighting can be enhanced or decreased by understanding the wattages of light bulbs and/or adjusting window treatments.” Yet, homeowners sometimes hesitate to incorporate agingin-place and universal-design features and products into their remodeling projects because “nobody wants to think of themselves as getting older and needing tools or equipment for assistance,” Sithong notes. Plus, they fear ending up with an “institutional” look. No need to worry. Bathroom grab bars, handrails and other products are now being designed so that it’s possible to incorporate them almost invisibly – or at least without sacrificing aesthetics. “Aging-in-place and universal design don’t necessarily make things ugly,” McGrath says. Sithong agrees, adding: “There are many aspects of aging-in-place and universal design that are beautiful and comfortable.” That’s why NAHB now has an award to recognize design-savvy achievements for aging-in-place and universal design. “A lot of companies have started focusing more on style,” says Jamie Goldberg, a National Kitchen & Bath Association-certified designer and certified aging-in-place specialist. Other relatively minor but important steps that many homeowners can accomplish themselves: lower thermostats, electrical switches and front-door peepholes to put them within reach of everyone. Also, for the hearing-impaired, installation of strobe smoke detectors is recommended. Privacy is also an important consideration as multigenerational living becomes more popular. Orlando-based remodelers Farina and Sons recently tackled a project for a multigenerational family. “We took into account both the physical and the emotional needs of the 94-year-old family member,” says owner Victor Farina. “Most importantly, we asked the family member to serve as part of the design-build team so he could feel included in the process.” But are aging-in-place and universal-design projects expensive? Not necessarily, McGrath says. Some features, such as elevators, are pricy. “But incorporating many universal-design concepts and features into a home are no cost or minimal cost,” he says. “It just takes thinking ahead.” Homes built with universal design and aging-in-place elements, such as wide hallways and no-threshold entries, can be great for resale, too. So you’ll likely get a solid return on your remodeling investment if you decide to age elsewhere instead of in place. ■ FALL 2011

What do you like best about the practice of law? My 30-year friendship and partnership with Gerry Greenspoon, the growth of Greenspoon Marder and the caliber of our partners, associates and staff.

AV PREEMINENT LAWYERS Advertisement
Grower Ketcham has provided leadership and guidance in civil and commercial litigation cases since 1987. As a tight-knit, client-focused firm, its mission has remained unchanged: to vigorously protect its clients through experienced, ethical counsel – and to maximize all available resources and talent toward that end. The firm’s founders are still bullish on a handshake and what it symbolizes: values, commitment and trust. “We didn’t have a vision of creating a 200-attorney mega-firm,” explains Walt Ketcham. “We believed that the key to building a solid law firm was to start with some fundamental values – honesty, truth, fairness, accountability and passion – and then attract and cultivate excellent attorneys committed to those same values.” Grower Ketcham’s diverse and experienced team has a wealth of experience in advocacy, counsel and litigation in a number of disciplines. Specialties include healthcare and medical malpractice, general liability and insurance defense, professional liability, government representation, toxic tort and environmental law, labor and employment, hospitality risk management, workers’ compensation, long-term care and assisted living, administrative law and appellate practice. Grower Ketcham’s clients, many of whom have been with the firm for more than 20 years, benefit from its wide-ranging

litigation practice and its ability to leverage the breadth of expertise within its team. Day-to-day litigation efforts include representing clients in state, federal and administrative court bodies throughout Florida and the country. Grower Ketcham is also a significant Orlando community partner, providing time, leadership and financial commitment to many local organizations. Giving back to the Orlando community remains an important part of Grower Ketcham’s mission.

Areas of Practice: Significant state and federal court practice involving first- and third-party insurance disputes, including personal injury, wrongful death, commercial and personal auto, PIP, premises liability, property damage and coverage disputes; general insurance, including agent/broker liability, breach of fiduciary duty and fraud; bad faith and punitive damages; commercial litigation, including contracts, non-compete agreements and commercial eviction; professional liability, including legal, insurance agent/broker and engineer; ERISA life and disability litigation.
Why did you become an attorney? Initially, I wanted to become a college professor, but found my way into the practice of law after I earned my bachelor’s degree. Although I do lecture nationally and in Florida on various legal topics involving insurance and employee welfare plans/benefits compliance, I would like to one day teach the law on a full-time basis. Personal: Outside of the office, I serve as president of the Florida Legal Institute and serve on the Board of Directors of the Dr. Phillips Little League.

Why did you become an attorney? I like the competition. I was a competitive swimmer at the University of Florida for my four years there. I’m extremely comfortable in the courtroom. I really like it; it’s fun. What do you like best about the practice of law? I like winning and I’m good at it. Being in the courtroom fighting for my clients brings me a lot of pleasure. Not many people hire a trial attorney to “do their best;” they hire them to win. That’s what we do and we do it well. Most of my trials are long and complex and can take months of being in court. Personal: Born in Marion, Ohio, October 7, 1948; came to Florida to swim for the University of Florida varsity swim team; married for 39 years; has two grown daughters; participates in U.S. Master Swimming for adults; has show horses that he keeps in Ocala. Miscellaneous: Firm founded in 2004; main office is in Miami; Central Florida office opened in 2006.

rail. Now it’s anchoring the hottest trend in fitness workouts. Two barre-workout studios recently opened within a mile of each other in Winter Park: barre54, which opened in May; and The Bar Method, which opened in July. Barre54 is independent while The Bar Method is part of a national franchise. Both look to capitalize on the nationwide barre buzz, spurred by celebrity shout-outs from the likes of
Madonna, Kelly Ripa and Drew Barrymore. “It works every part of your body, but you stretch as you go so you’re not so sore,” says a beaming Patty Peelen after a recent weekday morning workout in The Bar Method’s carpeted studio. Peelen, 54, jokes that she was “the worst and the oldest” of the eight women in the hour-long session, but she nonetheless enjoyed the challenging workout and appreciated its safety. “You can’t hurt yourself. It’s a group workout, but you get individual attention,” adds Peelen, who has osteoporosis but stays

active with tennis and barre workouts. While they may be trendy, barre workouts are neither faddish nor new. Like most barre studios around the country, the two spanking-new Winter Park facilities trace their body-sculpting technique to the teachings of Lotte Berk, a gifted dancer who fled from Nazi Germany to England in the 1930s. Berk later developed a series of exercises based on her classic ballet-barre training, and in 1959 opened a studio in London. One of her American students bought the rights to the name and opened the first of many stateside Lotte Berk Method studios 40 years ago in New York City. Berk, who died in 2003 at age 90, was described in a New York Times obituary as creating “a no-nonsense system for achieving slim waists, trim thighs and taut bottoms…blending elements of yoga and dance with stretches and pelvic gyrations.” Her signature studios are gone, but Berk’s method lives on at The Bar Method, barre54 and hundreds of other independent and franchised studios across the country, with brand names like barre3, Physique 57, Pure Barre and Cardio Barre. Karen Moreno, owner and instructor at The Bar Method in Winter Park Village, says the differences between barre workout programs are subtle, with some offering higher intensity levels than others. The Bar Method, founded 10 years ago by a Berk protégé, hews closely to Lotte Berk’s version, says Moreno, a petite mother of three and former elementary-school teacher. The emphasis is on safe muscle sculpting rather than an aerobic workout, she notes. “You’re not pounding the body. It’s intervals – your heart rate goes up and down. You work the muscles deeply, with small isometric movements, always followed by stretching,” Moreno adds. Debbie Gray Hall, who manages barre54 at Hannibal Square, says barre
workouts include elements from Pilates and yoga. Muscles are isolated, worked to the point of exhaustion and then stretched, “creating long, lean, dancer-type muscles. You work on every part of the body, with the focus on areas important to women: the inner and outer thighs, the seat and lower and upper abs.” In other words, barre workouts offer the prospect of achieving a dancer’s body – without dancing. While the basic method was designed by a dancer and is heavily dependent on an apparatus associated with ballet, barre workouts involve neither dancing nor ballet. “Anybody can do this,” Hall says. Moreno agrees, claiming that barreworkout newbies who attend regularly – three or more times per week – will start seeing changes in their body within four to six weeks, whether or not they have any dance or fitness background. She demonstrates one of the isometric exercises for the thighs. Standing sideways to the barre and holding it with one hand, she pushes herself up onto the balls of her feet. With her back erect, she slowly squats about a third of the way down, pauses, and then partially elevates, repeating the motion several times. More advanced students “will go down further and come up less,” she explains, while beginners won’t go down as far and will rise up higher. When proper form isn’t followed, trained instructors make verbal corrections. About two-thirds of a barre workout involves actual exercises at the barre, Moreno estimates. The remainder includes work with light hand weights, stretching straps and exercise balls. “It’s not dancing, but I love the incorporation of dance principles,” Moreno says. Instead of the “hooting and hollering” common to many dance-fitness sessions, “everyone gets into a zone” and concentrates on the muscle-specific exercises. “It’s a tough workout that only gets tougher. But anyone can do it.” ● SEPTEMBER 2011

Or you might have chosen Park Avenue’s Beef and Bottle, where you were greeted by assistant manager Arthur “Pappy” Kennedy. Kennedy would become Orlando’s first black city council member in 1972. You had Sunday dinner at the homey Imperial House, overlooking Lake Killarney, “where the royal rib reigns supreme.” Genial owner Dick Higley called it “the Im-pur-al House” in his television commercials. Caricatures of Central Florida luminaries adorned the walls, and an organist provided background music.
