Encore! Encore!

Ambitious traveler

If Mary Denni’s face looks familiar, it’s because she was featured in a 2010 issue of Senior Life, as a boomer model contestant.

Christine Bourdeau loves to travel. It’s her dream to visit every French-speaking area in the world. When she read about the Boomer Guide model search in Senior Life, she had no idea some of the photo shoots would occur at Port Canaveral, one of the world’s largest gateways to travel.

She didn’t make the cut for the 2011 Boomer Guide but said, “Just seeing my face on the newspaper was exciting.”

She did some modeling in her early 20s, but the Wisconsin native put her dream on hold when the first of her four children was born. Instead, she pursued a career in the legal field. When she saw the ad for models in Senior Life, the grandmother of 10 decided to try again.

“I must have done better,” she said, “because I was called back as a finalist for the cover.”

“Each time brought its own individual excitement, but I think you appreciate it more as you get older,” she said.

The Rockledge resident said she and her husband, Tom, are enjoying retirement. When she’s not accompanying him to the doctor appointments necessitated from injuries he sustained in NYC as a 911 first responder, they take day trips to see Florida’s hidden gems.

The couple, who married in 2013, will renew their vows at the Senior Safari at Brevard Zoo, when the 2015 Boomer Guide reveals its cover models.

The Roger Williams University graduate moved to Melbourne Beach from Rhode Island more than 30 years ago, and has thrown herself into the Florida lifestyle with hobbies like yoga, boating and bike riding along the beach. A former representative for a local hospice, she recently started studying Ikebana, the art of Japanese floral design.

Bourdeau almost withdrew from the model competition, when her mother passed away during the 2014 holiday season.

“I didn’t know if I could do it, but I’m glad I did. It was such a nice camaraderie meeting and working with everybody for the Boomer Guide. The whole experience was fun and it gave me something else to focus on. It was so wonderful to be a part of this.”

Winston Scott Jazz-stronaut

toots horn for FIT, youth

By Maria Sonnenberg

C

aptain Winston Scott keeps a trumpet in his office at Florida Institute of Technology, because, well, you never know when you’re going to need one.

“I practice almost every day,” said Scott.

at Florida Tech, often plays with the school’s Jazz Syndicate ensemble during Jazz Friday events at the Foosaner Art Museum and performs with Winston Scott’s Cosmic Ensemble, which includes wellknown local pros such as Ron Teixera.

As senior vice president for external relations and economic development at the Melbourne university, Scott is always in the public eye, and a trumpet often comes in handy when winning an audience.

A trumpet always nearby, the Miami native has segued from a distinguished military and space career to his current position, which includes a good dose of community work that in particular focuses on encouraging youth to follow their dreams.

“I do a lot of school visits,” said Scott. “I want to motivate the next generation.”

Scott has a lifelong commitment to community service, which has included volunteer flying for Angel Flight South Center, instruction at the Bronze Eagle Summer Flight Academy, helping Habitat for Humanity building projects and serving as associate

As astronaut, Scott is a rare bird, a music major from Florida State University’s Class of 1972. He joined the Navy in 1972, becoming an aviator and a captain during a career that spanned from 1972 to 1999 and included a seven-year stint as mission specialist and flight engineer

In April of 2015, Scott will grab the trumpet to play with the Melbourne High School Jazz Band during a concert at Atlantic Music in Melbourne. As a member of Florida Tech’s TWITCHY faculty band, Scott puts the trumpet to good use during many special events that benefit the community. He also teaches the byaudition-only advanced jazz classes

board chair of the Tallahassee Challenger Learning Center.

A keynote speaker at major conferences for A-list companies such as Microsoft, Scott is equally at ease in public school classrooms, where he serves to inspire students to achieve and to pursue careers in science and technology. He is a frequent speaker at Boys and Girls Clubs throughout Florida.

for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Beyond NASA, Scott served alma mater Florida State as vice president for student affairs. He was also associate dean at FAMUFSU College of Engineering, executive director of Florida Space Authority and vice president and deputy general manager of Jacobs Engineering’s Engineering and Science Contract Group.

His days in space may be history, but Scott stays connected with the space program, visiting Kennedy Space Center for special appearances and serving as commentator for events such as the recent Orion launch. As a technical advisor to NBC and its affiliates, Scott provided commentaries and interviews for major space events. He was featured

on several PBS and Discovery Channel documentaries on space and his book, “Reflections from Earth Orbit,” was published in 2005.

Florida appointed him to the board of supervisors of Florida Space Authority, the organization that directs all non-NASA space flight activities in the state. In short, Scott may not be in space, but space is still very much a part of him.

Thanks to the Piper Saratoga he owns, Scott still has the freedom of flying, often hopping as far as Canada in his private plane.

“My space experience continues to dominate my life,” said Scott.

Retirement is nowhere in the horizon.

“I don’t know that I will ever retire,” said Scott. “I like to stay active.” ◆

His years with the space program also allows him a unique vantage point to see the evolution of the space program.

Beyond the flying and the trumpet, Scott stays active with tennis at Eau Gallie Yacht Club, tinkering with electronics and practicing martial arts as a second degree black belt in Shotokan Karate.

“We’re in between eras in the space program now, and we’re still defining the future,” he said.

Annual search brings the talent to Port Canaveral’s Exploration Tower

By MARY BROTHERTON The faces you see in the 2015 Boomer Guide belong to your neighbors. They are business people, retirees, parents, grandparents, friends, and volunteers from Brevard County.

What sets them apart is their willingness to take a risk “to go for it,” whatever it may be.

Boomer Guide’s amazing, award-winning photographer, Keith Betterley, knows how to bring out the inner star with a natural ease and unsurpassed professionalism. Many models have attributed their enjoyable experiences to how he made them feel comfortable with the camera, lights and posing that looks and feels natural.

All our models have expressed how much fun they had at our unique locations. This year, Boomer Guide focused on a feeling, rather than an era. Forever Young at Heart and Embracing the Beach Lifestyle were our dominant themes for 2015. After all, we live in one of the most beautiful Florida cultures on the East Coast!

If you would like to be considered as a model in the 2016 Boomer Guide, call 321-242-1235.

We typically call applicants for the photo sessions in late summer or early fall, but don’t wait to get your name on the list. The opportunities are limited. The experience is for a lifetime!

Lose the stress,

embrace the healthy

by George White

M

ichael Corrie’s life journey has taken him all over the world as an international businessman but it’s the journey he’s taken since leaving it all behind that has made him a picture of health at age 65.

Now living in Indialantic and teaching yoga privately, Corrie is a trim version of his former self, down about 50 pounds since he turned the corner on the stress that had propelled him to the top levels of business.

His resumé from his “former” self begins in the mid 1970s as a field construction manager for three air fields in the Sahara Desert in Africa looking for oil. After that, he transitioned from a manager position with 400 employees in Saudi Arabia, a three-year stint in Jordan, to serving as an offshore oil consultant in Norway and later a manager of packaging firms in Ukraine and finally Moscow, ending in 2005.

“I realized I could die a rich man because I was 50 pounds heavier than I am now, smoking cigarettes and not in the greatest health. I was about 280 pounds. I went to an American doctor and he said, “You have high blood pressure, high cholesterol and type 2 diabetes.

Here, take these pills for the rest of your life.” That irritated me,’’ he said.

He remembered back to the days he took yoga classes and decided to make the change.

“My first yoga class was in 1974 but then I went to the desert. I really liked yoga but I couldn’t do it through my international career. I liked the meditation and I liked the poses. I started weight training, rowing three times a week and walking on the beach at the Chesapeake

with

yoga

Bay every day. Instead of snacking on popcorn and Coca-Cola I would have one apple. I dropped my first 25 pounds,’’ he said.

“In 2008 I threw away all my pills. I don’t take any pills. I don’t need them. I don’t use anything but food,” he said.

He moved to Norway, where he has family but changes in the law made him move and he chose India to study yoga, ending with a 500-hour advanced certificate.

“I was just teaching young people but it wasn’t interesting to me. This April 2014 I decided to come to Florida to teach to seniors because Americans have a great misconception that yoga is only for young people and is only poses. There are so many old people that are in so much trouble mentally and physically and yoga can help them, not because we’re going to get down on the mat and twist ourselves into pretzels but we’re going to learn how to breathe. If you learn how to breathe properly, that’s going to improve your immunity, energy levels and give you some more good years of your life.

“The bottom line on yoga is getting you to meditate.

You can’t get to meditation unless you can breathe correctly. You can’t breathe correctly unless your body is working well so that’s the purpose of poses. You do the poses to be able to breathe to be able to meditate.”

Corrie is teaching yoga lessons independently now, either individually or in small groups, doing business as Gaia Yoga.

The Fountain of Youth may have paws

By Rachel Wick For generations, the search has been on for the Fountain of Youth. There are those who have tried to find it in fitness fads and face creams, but missed one of the secrets to staying young that has been looking them right in the eye: their pets.

Furry friends such as dogs and cats, can play a vital role in helping boomers and seniors age gracefully. Pets help keep emotional balance, develop fitness routines and maintain social connections.

Lucille “Lou” Jischke of West Melbourne and her shih tzu Joey are a great example of the lasting bond that can be formed.

Jischke is a life-long dog owner, and a prime example of the health benefits that owning a pet provides. At age 91, Jischke is in good physical health, still drives and has a healthy mind.

She admits that having dogs throughout her life, and owning Joey more recently, has helped keep her active.

“I take him for a walk every day, and play with him. Joey likes that, he likes to go for a walk,” Jischke said.

Taking a dog for a walk can be a fun activity for seniors and has proven an effective way to maintain physical activity. Studies show that pet owners are much more likely to meet their exercise quota, and that regular exercise can help relieve stress. The health benefits don’t stop there. Owning a dog can also been proven to lower blood pressure, prevent depression, curb anxiety and help posttraumatic stress disorder. Pet owners also have 21 percent fewer doctor visits, and

Boomer Guide Darrell Woehler Lucille “Lou” Jischke relies on pet shih tzu Joey for company, security and daily exercise. pet owning seniors take better care of themselves.

According to Jischke, she formed an instant connection when adopting Joey from the Humane Society with her late husband Kenneth Jischke. At that time, Joey was about a year old.

“We went there, and he was in a cage all curled up, and Ken said let’s take this one out. Nobody seemed to want him, but we took to him right away,” Jischke said. “We took him home, and he’s been a good dog ever since.”

“They have always had dogs,” said daughter Sharon Scoufis.

Studies show that later in life as people lose loved ones or a spouse, a pet gives owners someone to talk to and helps to prevent loneliness. This has definitely proven true in Jischke’s case. She recently suffered the loss of Ken, her husband of 70 years. The death of the love of her life, has been a major emotional blow for Lucille. She says that the companionship of Joey has helped her during this difficult time. “It seems like he knows when I need some help. He knows when I’m lonely. I would never get rid of him, he’s a lot of company,” she said.

Caring for Joey has also helped Jischke feel that she has a purpose. Even on the days when it’s difficult to get out of bed, she knows that Joey needs her. Beyond emotional support, pets can also provide the added benefit of security. “He lets me know when someone is at the door,” she said. “It also feels like I have someone in the house.”

Owning a pet can also be a great way to meet people, whether it be at the dog park, an area pet store or training classes. Seniors can bond with other owners in these locales and even setup “doggy dates.”

In addition to Joey, Jischke also shares her home with a 25-year old blue-fronted Amazon parrot named Blue who serves as Joey’s nemesis. “He doesn’t like the bird though, he goes and barks at her, and she squawks,” she said.

Despite her love of animals, don’t expect Jischke to add a feline friend to the mix anytime soon.

“I don’t like cats, but have always loved having the dogs. It’s a lot of company and it makes it so that I’m not alone, as long as Joey is here.” ◆

Boomer Guide model signs with The Diamond Agency When she responded to another casting call she found in Senior Life, her life took an interesting turn, one she’d always dreamed of.

The Viera Studio for the Performing Arts held a casting call for anyone, but also directed at those models who had appeared in the Boomer Guide. Amy Baker Severson from EoLA Casting and Nick Clayton of The Diamond Agency held a two-day workshop at the Studio and Jones said she soaked up every minute.

“We had to audition and they gave us feedback,” Jones said.

“One funny and one serious. When they called me over to audition. I said, ‘You want me to audition for you? Do you have any idea who I am? I am a star of stage and screen and Broadway and you want me to audition?’ My favorite actress is Bette Davis. I was there to have fun but I must have made a good impression, because they signed me.”

By Mary Brotherton Linda Jones retired from her professional life as an administrator with the Brevard County school system and soon started her journey to fulfill her lifelong dream of being a professional model.

“It all happened so fast,” Jones said. “I was actually planning to work in real estate.”

The Suntree resident had picked up a copy of Senior Life and saw the call for models for the 2014 Boomer Guide.

Jones said she filled out the form and continued life as usual.

“At first, I received an email asking me to come to the King Center for a photo shoot. The email instructed me to wear something I might wear in the Australian outback. All the models dressed that way.”

The Maxwell C. King Center for the Performing Arts was the venue for Senior Life’s Backstage Pass: Senior Expo and Boomer Bash in 2013 and again in 2014 and provided the publisher with a great location for preliminary photographs of models who had made it to the second round in the annual contest. Jones was one of the models who made the cut and joined the Boomer Guide team at Brevard Zoo, which was the venue chosen to host the 2014 photo shoot.

Signing a contract with The Diamond Agency is just one of many steps for her. She has already started classes and has been working with several photographers for headshots and promo cards. One of her coaches is Natalia Denny, Vivien Leigh’s goddaughter, who has worked with Jones in intensive one-on-one acting practice to hone her natural talent.

“Now, the fun part begins,” Jones said. “I’ve already been a paid extra in a commercial for Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex and Amy said I’ll be on the short list for other projects. None of this would be possible if I hadn’t picked up that copy of Senior Life.”

With no plans of fading into anyone’s sunset, Jones has big plans for her future.

“I look forward to the day I get a call from Steven Spielberg or George Lucas but if I never got paid, it would be worth it because the journey has been fun.” ◆

“I had a great time,” Jones said. “I came ready for a full day at the zoo.”

Exploration Tower is Port Canaveral’s newest visitor magnet

BY Maria Sonnenberg It’s a boat. It’s a wave. No, it is the Exploration Tower at Port Canaveral, an attraction that is hard to miss, even from busy State Road 528.

“We left it up to the viewers to decide whether it looks like a sailboat or a wave,” said Tara Ruch, sales and marketing manager for Canaveral Port Authority, when asked about the building’s unique shape.

The $23 million tower, which opened a year ago in November as part of the Port’s 60th anniversary, has already become an architectural landmark. This very out-of-the-ordinary venue located on what was once an open field is a perfect spot for festivals, concerts and private functions. It also boasts 5,500-square-feet of information about the Space Coast and Port Canaveral.

Visitors enter the seven floors of exhibit space via a lakefront promenade where, at night, a cavalcade of lights seem to change colors at whim. On the main floor a gift shop and café help prepare guests for the adventure ahead.

Walk up to the second floor to enjoy the views of both the lobby and sculptures of marine life created from 100 percent recycled materials. The interactive exhibition explores the history of the Space Coast’s native residents, the first European settlers and the story of Port Canaveral itself.

On the third floor guests can learn about the Port’s vibrant history at the 72-seat, state-of-the-art Leisure and Recreation Theater. After viewing the one-of-a-kind movie, head to the fourth floor meeting and event space. It’s a busy space and perfect for wedding receptions and other private affairs.

| Boomer Guide 2015

On the fifth floor the subject at hand is navigating Port Canaveral; guests can become pilots for a day as they navigate their own boats through Canaveral Harbor.

The sky is the limit on the 6th floor, dedicated to air and space. The indoor observation level faces Kennedy Space Center and is a primo viewing site for rocket launches. The exhibits celebrate the frontiers of air and space.

The outdoor observation deck crowns the Exploration Tower, affording a panoramic view of not just Port Canaveral, but also of Kennedy Space Center, the surrounding beaches and river and the spectacular wildlife that makes its home in the area. High-power telescopes afford you a close and personal look at the rockets before and during launches.

The tower has played host to events that range from a Beach Boys concert to the Florida Key Lime Pie Festival.

For tourists alighting from cruise ships, the Exploration Tower provides a place to get your Brevard bearings. For locals, the Exploration Tower serves to remind us about the many wonderful things available in this very special place we call home. â—† Brevard residents, seniors and the military enjoy a discounted admission of $4. General admission is $6.50.

The Exploration Tower at Port Canaveral is located at 670 Dave Nisbet Dr., Port Canaveral. The tower is open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. seven days a week, although it does close for major holidays. For more information, call 321-394-3408 or visit ExplorationTower.com.

Genealogy & History

Check with your librarian.

The Titusville Public Library and the Melbourne Public Library have genealogy rooms staffed by volunteers from the local genealogy societies at specific times. The Central Brevard Library and Reference Center has the largest collection of references, begun in 1989, when the Brevard Genealogical Society received a room at the library in which to house their materials. The collection grew tremendously in 2002, when Eastern Florida State College, at that time called Brevard Community College, passed its entire genealogy collection to Central Brevard Library. The library is staffed full time with a certified genealogist available for consultation. This collection specializes on the states east of the Mississippi with emphasis on Virginia, Pennsylvania, New England, military records and the southern states. A large collection also includes books on various ethnic groups and books on researching in countries outside the USA. Two extensive ancestry databases are available only at the Central Brevard Library and Reference Center, Melbourne Public Library, and Titusville Public Library, including one with more than 1.2 billion records that is only accessible in the Genealogical Collection at the Central Library in Cocoa. Also, Central Brevard Library and Reference Center offers classes on genealogical topics and hosts the Brevard Genealogical Society’s extensive Beginning Genealogy Class.

Boomer Guide Walter Kiely Mary Dunagan, in blue, displays the Frank Dunagan award for a lifetime of military and community at the Nov. 14 Veterans Salute to military families, surrounded by her granddaughter, sister and daughter.

Remembering veterans, families is top priority

By Linda Wiggins Retired USAF Lt. Gen. William “Bill” Welser said he will champion the cause of remembering the service and sacrifice of military veterans and their families until the day he dies.

“If we don’t honor and appreciate the service of our military and the families that support them, who will want to go and fight to protect us in the future?”

“It’s that important,” he told the audience of the Nov. 14 Veterans Salute at the King Center that opened the Senior Life Boomer Bash & Senior Expo.

Dunagan organized the inaugural Veterans Salute last year that has become an annual event, and provided leads to stories that honor veterans on the pages of Senior Life.

The event honored the life of military and community service of retired Lt. Col. Frank Dunagan with a special award presented to his widow, Mary Dunagan. The theme of the salute was military families.

“U.S. citizens are now the target of the terrorism war we are now fighting, not just the military as it has been in past wars,” Welser said, charging the community and veterans in attendance to bring friends next year to fill auditoriums at all Veterans Day ceremonies.

“He always said he could not have soared so high in his career and community service nor enjoyed the flight without Mary and his family behind him,” Senior Life publisher Jill Blue-Gaines said in giving the award.

Leadership, spouses and family of the Military Officers Association of America Cape Canaveral Chapter, for which Dunagan was a leader, also took part in or attended the award presentation. n

Carefree communities help us add years to our lives and – more importantly – add life to our years.

Do you have all the special friends and family members surrounding you that you would like to have? Why not send your folks from the North a copy of the 2015 Boomer Guide as a subtle hint that it’s time to move to Florida and get started living right.

Living right means choosing a place to live that is low or no maintenance. It’s time to let others mow the grass and clear plugged toilets.

SPACE CENTER

Why not be proactive and nurture relationships with new neighbors who are on the same carefree page in life as you?

Many boomer-senior communities have great activities both in common rooms and as organized day-trips — with or without martinis along the way, a designated driver at the wheel, of course.

Many carefree communities are located on golf courses or other recreationally-themed grounds. If you have a special interest, there is a carefree community for you.

FORCE BASE

The Space Coast is the perfect place to enjoy what used to be our Golden Years. These days, boomers have no interest in going quietly into their retirement years, and don’t call them senior citizens, even if they have reached the magical Medicare age.

To keep our bodies healthy and functional through our last vibrant breath, more doctors, specialists, surgeons and other healthcare providers set up shop each year to target mature lifestyles. The Space Coast has the best medical community in existence, many providing services within the walls of carefree communities, with a plan for aging in place so you never have to relocate again. ◆

Take A Shot at

Parker Brothers brings cool concept cars to busy Port No, you’re not seeing things. That really was Ecto-1, the Ghostbusters’ iconic station wagon, that just passed your vehicle on a Brevard County highway.

It’s one of several street-legal replica vehicles from film and television created by reality television stars Shanon and Marc Parker of Melbourne and housed at Parker Brothers Concepts, the brothers’ new automotive customizing facility at Port Canaveral.

“You’ve never seen so many people pulling up and taking photos,” said Justine Briner, the Parkers’ personal assistant, of the reactions from motorists when one of their creations hits the road.

“It’s amazing.”

Known for their unique concept cars, motorcycles, off-road and movie replica vehicles, the Parkers recently were stars of the reality TV series “Dream Machines” on SyFy, and plans are in the works for another show featuring the brothers. They’ve built custom cars for rapper 50 Cent and WWE wrestler John Cena. One of their concept vehicles, the “battleship shredder,” appeared in the 2012 science-fiction movie “Battleship.”

In 2014, Parker Brothers Concepts moved from its Aurora Road location to a vacant 20,000-squarefoot facility at 730 Mullet Rd. in busy Port Canaveral, where more than a dozen of the brothers’ custom creations are on public display in a showroom. That

Boomer Guide Linda Wiggins Justine Briner of Parker Brothers Concepts showcases the popular Batmobile update, called the “Tumbler” in the recent films. same year, the business was named the Economic Development Commission of Florida’s Space Coast Innovation Company of the Year.

Residents and tourists can view Ecto-1, a replica of the Batmobile and Batpod from “The Dark Knight” trilogy, the Optimus Prime truck from the “Transformers” films, a futuristic motorcycle inspired by the sci-fi film “Tron: Legacy,” and other notable vehicles. They can also watch the brothers and their staff constructing new creations.

“Turnout has been good,” Briner said. “We’re expecting more visitors during the busy season. We’re still growing and adding displays.”

The three-wheeled, lime-green motorcycle sports a 45-inch front wheel, a Harley-Davidson engine and a six-speed transmission.

Reality-television stars Marc and Shanon Parker of Melbourne moved their Parker Brothers Concepts facility to Port Canaveral, where visitors can watch them building custom cars and view replicas of iconic vehicles from TV and film.

Parker Brothers Concepts builders often use images from screen captures to guide them in constructing the vehicles. Work on the Batmobile, called the “Tumbler” in the Batman films, took about 1 1/2 months, Shanon Parker said. The custom-made replica sports a LS1 Corvette engine and “Super Swamper” rear wheels. Its two-seat interior features an iPad and a stereo.

The “Battleship Shredder” was built in three weeks from scratch, Marc Parker said. Interior video screens allow the driver to see where he’s going.

Another creation is an adult-sized version of Huffy’s “Green Machine,” which the Parkers loved as kids.

The vehicles can often be seen around Brevard County. Last fall, the Batmobile rumbled over to Manatee Elementary School in Viera to help promote school’s Superhero Walk-A-Thon. And Optimus Prime was parked in front of Shanon Parker’s home on Halloween night to thrill trick-ortreaters.

The facility’s entrance and gift shop are adorned with comic books and action figures, a nod to the Parkers’ love of comics and science fiction that helped fuel their passion to build eye-catching vehicles, Briner said.

“A lot of car collector club members come by and visit us,” Briner said. “It’s wonderful to see them. I’ve got a great job.”

Parker Brothers Concepts is at 730 Mullet Rd. in Port Canaveral. Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for children ages 7 to 12, and free for kids 6 and under when accompanied by a paying adult. Hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday. For more information, go to parkerbrothersconcepts.com or call 321-868-2174.

Octogenarian wins world championship,

sets record in bench press

By Mike Gaffey The 82-year-old Suntree resident, a diabetic who had never lifted weights until he turned 77, won a world championship for his age division and bench-pressed a world record 203 pounds American Powerlifting Federation’s World Powerlifting Championships in West Palm Beach in November. Lombardo competed in the 220-pound division for men ages 80 to 84 and set the record on his third lift.

“A lot of people came up to me and wanted to take a picture with me to show that I was 82 and lifted over 200 pounds,” said Lombardo, a Brooklyn, N.Y. native who worked as a cement finisher for 40 years before retiring to Florida.

“Even the guy taking pictures for the federation asked if he could take a picture with me.”

Lombardo, a former Marine who won the Purple Heart during combat in the Korean War, got into the sport in 2009 after he joined Pro-Health & Fitness in Viera on its first day in business. Not long after he started working out for the first time with weights, he was spotted by a local powerlifter.

“I had a 50-pound dumbbell in each hand and he asked me if I wanted to do powerlifting and that he’d show me what to do” Lombardo said. “I could only lift 135 pounds one time at that time. Now I lift 135 ten times after I finish my workout.”

Boomer Guide Mike Gaffey Vito Lombardo, on bench, set the world record bench press for men ages 80 to 84 with a 203-pound lift in November at the American Powerlifting Federation’s World Powerlifting Championships in West Palm Beach. He trains with strength trainer John Bellak. (continued on next page)

Lombardo progressed quickly, excelling in the bench press. By 2012 he had captured APF state and national titles for powerlifters in his age group. He also started training with John Bellak, also a Suntree resident and a former high school strength and conditioning coach in Ohio.

Bellak trained Lombardo for four months leading up to the world championships, which attracted 800 powerlifters from 40 countries. Bellak chose LA Fitness in Melbourne as their training site because the gym had Hammer Strength machines.

“My coach here, he’s better than a sleeping pill,” Lombardo said, “because he’d train me for an hour and a half and he’d tell me ‘I know you’re 82 years old and you’ve got an 82-year-old heart but let’s get on this machine.’ Then he’d tell me, ‘Let’s get on that machine. I’d say how many, and he’d say ‘10.’ He would work me and then he’d say, ‘You can go do whatever you want now.’ And the only thing I’d want to do is go to sleep.”

At the world championships, Lombardo was required to bench press three times with a progressively higher amount of weight while judges monitored his form. He benched 187 pounds on his first lift, 198 pounds on his second and the record 203 pounds on his third.

“I called up my wife and kids when I won the championship, and they called everybody else,” Lombardo said.

Bellak said Lombardo’s natural strength from years in construction and his late start to powerlifting are the reasons for his success.

“His body is in such good shape,” Bellak said. “He’s not all broken down.”

Lombardo credits proper technique for all his medals and trophies. “I’ve never been hurt,” he said. “Most people start in their 20s. I’m all muscle.”

Powerlifting also has helped Lombardo control his type 2 diabetes, a condition he’s dealt with for 22 years.

“You won’t get too many guys my age willing to pick up weights,” Lombardo said. “They won’t go in the free weight area. You have to have a lot of stamina to go free weights, and you have to have even more stamina to have John as a coach. Everybody is in awe when they watch me lift. Because I’m 82 years old, they all say ‘I don’t believe it.’”
