NESTING: A Eurasian collared dove and its baby, just a few days old, share a cozy nest in a palmetto tree.

TODAY'S FOCUS
Maintaining good health can be good for your business
By DR. MICKEY BARBER
CEO and Chief Medical Officer, Cenegenics Carolinas
Special to CharlestonCurrents.com

APRIL 30, 2009 -- With daily news of layoffs, cutbacks and shrinking budgets, it's no wonder business people feel stressed and overwhelmed. A typical reaction is to work harder, sacrificing personal health and wellness to simply keep the company afloat or stay employed.


Barber

But business people need to realize their personal health and wellness can have a direct impact on their business success. While it might be tempting to skip that morning workout so you can get to the office an hour early, it's simply a bad business decision. You have to look at your health as a business investment that is just as important as monetary investments and financial decisions.

So many professionals in Charleston are neglecting their health - not exercising, eating poorly, not getting enough sleep or suffering an imbalance of hormones, as many people over 45 do. Such issues are not conducive to the clear thinking, high energy and productivity that it takes to be successful.

Regardless of how full my schedule is or how long my daily to-do list is, I am at the gym every morning. It's the most important appointment of my day. You might think appointments with my patients or potential patients would trump a morning workout session, but by focusing on my own health I am able to better help my patients improve their health. I have the energy and focus to get through the day because I devoted the necessary attention to my physical fitness and wellness.

YOUR HEALTH, YOUR BUSINESS

What: "Being at the Top of Your Game: Why Good Health is Just Good Business."

When and where: 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. May 7, Coco's Café, 863 Houston Northcutt Blvd. (Whole Foods Shopping Center), Mount Pleasant.

Details: Dr. Mickey Barber, CEO of Cenegenics Carolinas, will give tips about how to improve your health for business. Food and beverages will be available, and the business that brings the most employees will receive a free yoga class at its office courtesy of Eco Health & Wellness.

Cost: $15 per person. Register by May 1 by calling 577-8484.

Being in good health allows business people to not only survive but thrive and get a leg up on the competition, particularly in this competitive job market and business climate. Even baby boomers who were looking forward to retirement in a few years are realizing they will be extending their time in the work force after seeing their investments cut in half in recent months. That means they will have to be in tiptop shape for the next five, 10 or even 15 years. It becomes critical to be energetic, vital, look good, feel good and avoid any disease that might slow us down or keep us out of work.

Your first priority should be to make a commitment to your health, realizing good health is truly good business. Next, work with a physician who is focused on health and wellness to create a plan that fits your health needs and your lifestyle. Once that plan is in place, think of it as part of the strategic plan for your business and recognize its importance.

At Cenegenics Carolinas, our mission is to work closely with patients to assess their current physical and medical health and then craft an individualized nutrition and exercise plan that will improve their health, work within their lifestyle and add vigor and energy to their daily lives.

I feel strongly about this topic and want to encourage our local business community to make health a priority. I'm inviting business people to join me for "Being at the Top of Your Game: Why Good Health is Just Good Business" on May 7 at Coco's Café in Mount Pleasant (see the box with this article for details). I'll be sharing some proven tips for how attendees can improve their health - tips that will translate into real business success.

Dr. Mickey Barber is the CEO and chief medical officer for Cenegenics Carolinas, a Charleston-based medical institute that helps patients manage the aging process through a customized regimen of exercise, nutrition and hormone optimization. Certified in age management medicine, she is a board-certified anesthesiologist and former assistant professor at Tulane University. For more information, visit www.cenegenics-carolinas.com.

Age spots: Compare your youthful mindset to Class of '09
By ANN THRASH, editor

APRIL 30, 2009 -- You know you're getting old when you find yourself arguing with your spouse about which of you is going to give new sod for the front yard to the other as a birthday present. My husband and I both have birthdays next month, and we actually had that little tiff a few days ago. Since his birthday comes first, I guess I win. Or maybe lose.


Thrash

It wasn't the first time that I've felt a little creaky in the past few weeks. During a recent physical therapy appointment to try to remedy my "frozen shoulder" (another middle-age affliction), it wasn't the fact that I was having physical therapy that made me feel old. It was the fact that the therapist, a sweet young lady in her early to mid-30s, told me that SHE felt old because neither of the other two people on staff remembered ever having "a record player." Sigh. Come gather around the rocking chair, kids, while Granny here tells you about 8-track tapes.

Then there was comedian Jeff Foxworthy (the "You might be a redneck if …" guy), who on TV the other day said he knew he was getting old when somebody broke into his car and only stole two of his CDs. He said he found himself frantically searching through the CDs left behind, asking, "Where's The Best of Bread? Where's The Best of Bread?"

Since misery (that would be me) loves company (that would be you), join me in feeling a little older today by checking out "The Mindset List" for the Class of 2009. Compiled annually by administrators at Beloit College, the list is given to faculty members to remind them how different the world has been for that year's incoming freshman class than it was for the faculty themselves when they were younger. Here's an interesting, sometimes wince-inducing look at what daily life has been like for the Class of 2009; for the full list, go here.

  • Most of the Class of 2009 was born in 1987.

  • Andy Warhol, Liberace, Jackie Gleason and Lee Marvin have always been dead.

  • They don't remember when "cut and paste" involved scissors.

  • Pay-Per-View television has always been an option.

  • They never had the fun of being thrown into the back of a station wagon with six others.

  • Iran and Iraq have never been at war with each other.

  • Jimmy Swaggart and Jim Bakker have never preached on television.

  • Voice mail has always been available.

  • The federal budget has always been more than a trillion dollars.

  • Condoms have always been advertised on television.

  • They have always had the right to burn the flag.

  • For daily caffeine emergencies, Starbucks has always been around the corner.

  • Money put in their savings account the year they were born earned almost 7 percent interest.

  • Pixar has always existed.

  • They have grown up in a single-superpower world.

  • They do not remember "a kinder and gentler nation."

  • They never saw the shuttle Challenger fly.

  • They never saw Pat Sajak or Arsenio Hall host a late-night television show.

  • Digital cameras have always existed.

  • Tom Landry never coached the Cowboys.

  • CNBC has always been on the air.

  • Jimmy Carter has always been an elder statesman.

  • "America's Funniest Home Videos" has always been on television.

  • Aretha Franklin has always been in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

FEEDBACK
Time to solve discriminatory practice in housing market

To the editor:

Andy Brack's article on mortgage disparities in the Charleston community was interesting not only because of the substance but because it tickled a personal memory as well. Sixteen years ago, in an earlier life, I incorporated and provided legal advice to a start-up nonprofit corporation, the National Community Reinvestment Coalition. Now, I see that its extensive research enables us to focus on a persistent discriminatory practice in the residential housing market that keeps us living in silos. It is time not just to look at the problem but actually to do something about it.

-- Leo Fishman, Kiawah Island, SC

HISTORY SPOTLIGHT
Ocean Forest Hotel

Myrtle Beach's magnificent Ocean Forest Hotel opened formally on Friday evening, February 21, 1930. The hotel, standing twenty-nine feet above sea level, with a ten-story wedding-cake tower flanked by two five-story wings, was South Carolina's Statue of Liberty.

Together with its gardens, pools, and stables, the hotel occupied thirteen acres. Amenities such as marble stairways, Czechoslovakian crystal chandeliers, Grecian columns, faucets that dispensed salt water to the 202 ventilated bathrooms, oriental rugs in the marble-floored lobby, the grand ballroom, and dining room all attested to the Ocean Forest's inclusion among an exclusive list of world-class hotels. High standards of etiquette were the rule. Gentlemen never entered the dining room without wearing tuxedos. Ladies wore evening gowns.

By the 1940s and 1950s patrons had altered their lifestyles, and the Ocean Forest Hotel changed with the times. "Resort attire" was accepted, and in the late 1940s Governor Strom Thurmond played volleyball in his swim trunks.

During the 1960s the owners of the hotel declined to make much-needed improvements. The Ocean Forest showed signs of neglect. The hotel closed its doors in June 1974. On Friday the thirteenth of September 1974, explosives were placed around the hotel. The ten-story building that had taken a year and a half to build was reduced to a pile of rubble in six seconds.

The author Mickey Spillane said, "The Ocean Forest Hotel was a beautiful piece of architecture, and for down here it was actually superb." Thurmond recalled the hotel's "wonderful hospitality, and I consider the visits I made there some of the happiest and most enjoyable trips I have taken."
