Glenn Scarpelli is a former child star and singer best known for playing the role of Alex Handris in the sitcom One Day at a Time from 1980 to 1983. However, Glenn has accomplished so much more than that in all his time in the entertainment industry, from stage to screen and even away from the spotlight. Born and raised in Staten Island, New York City, the superstar was brought up in a very artistic family, his father Henry Scarpelli being an artist for the long-running Archie comics. Glenn even featured in issue #330 in 1984.

The acting sensation attended St. Joseph Hill Academy, all the while developing a very promising career in the spotlight on the side. He made his Broadway debut in 1977 at the tender age of 10, in a production of Golda, alongside Anne Bancroft. He returned to the stage two years later in the role of Richard, Duke of York in an adaptation of the classic play Richard III, starring the one and only Al Pacino. In 1980 Glenn booked his greatest and most memorable role yet, on One Day at a Time, a role he held for three whole years and shot him to fame.

He eventually left the One Day at a Time gang for NBC sitcom, Jennifer Slept Here. Glenn’s other notable works include the NBC series Amazing Stories by the great Steven Spielberg, MacGyver and The Love Boat. In 1983 he also became co-host of the NBC game show, Fantasy. Glenn established the Sedona Now Network in 2003 with his then-partner, a community television station. In 2019 he made a surprise cameo appearance in Netflix’s revival of One Day at a Time.

I began my education in nutrition, exercise, and weight loss while serving in the United States Air Force nearly fifty years ago. Like many other military personnel (and civilians for that matter), I was very overweight and out-of-shape. It really bothered me to be like this, so I began to study everything that I could find to help me lose weight and get in better shape, eventually deciding to lift weights.​

Many different athlete and other diets were used over the years. They included very high protein intake and a variety of supplements. The supplements were very expensive (nothing has changed in that regard) and there were many times when I could not afford them. After several years of blindly following the various diet plans, and using recommended supplements, I began to notice that the expected results were not being obtained. There was no difference in my strength and muscle mass during the times that I could take the supplements and when I couldn’t. I also noticed that losing weight was no different whether I did or didn’t take various supplements advertised to make you lose weight.

What was the cause of this? Was it poor supplements? Was I taking the wrong supplements or using them inappropriately? Maybe my workouts were inadequate or I was doing the exercises incorrectly or even using the wrong exercises. This observation bothered me and I began to research the answer to these discrepancies.​

During this time, I was accepted to medical school. Now, finally I would be able to get the answers that I sought. However, I was sorely disappointed. Medical school did not teach the physiology I was looking for and it did not address the nutritional questions I wanted to answer. It also did not address weight loss, except for a brief mention of the consequences of being overweight. Therefore, I could not resolve the discrepancies I had noted and was left to research this information on my own. I continued to study from textbooks and any other information that I could find. I also spent a lot of time studying physical exercise and ways to improve my workouts.

There were several vitally important discoveries that I made concerning Diet, Supplements, Weight Loss, Exercise and especially Health. My desire to educate people about my findings led me to write a book, “Lies Exposed.” This book educates people as to what is proper nutrition, and how to apply that information to lose weight while maximizing their health. This information is vital for anyone who is serious about wanting to lose weight. This is especially true, since most people seeking weight loss are not aware of the need to maximize their health, and that supplements and medications are more detrimental than beneficial. The knowledge contained in my book was used as a basis for developing the coaching programs used by Straight Shooter Health, a platform for helping people lose weight and maximize their health.

Author Sieglinde Othmer brings an energy into any room that far exceeds that of the average 83-year-old woman. Petite and with a German accent, one is reminded of the late Dr. Ruth Westheimer as she enthusiastically describes her mission: helping others experience joy, health, and wellness as they age.

“I want to help! I want to bust the myth that older age is bad. It’s a badge of honor. This can be a glorious period of devotion to ourself and our passions,” said Dr. Othmer.

Sieglinde Othmer PhD earned her doctorate in Social Sciences at the University of Hamburg, Germany. A refugee, immigrant, academic, administrator, researcher, and gardener, she raised three children and three dogs, and has traveled to over 40 countries. In JOYOUS LONGEVITY: The A-Z Field Guide, she shares the wisdom she acquired in 83 years of living. She is on the Board of Directors of the United Nations Association of Greater Kansas City. She resides in Parkville, Missouri, on a lake where Canada geese fly over, where Blue Herons fish, and where Great Horned Owls keep night watch. Her purpose is to help people feel good about their age. At any age.​

Woven through the book’s narrative are the optimism and practices of Dr. Othmer, herself. A child refugee from post-war East Germany (behind the Iron Curtain), she and her mother put optimism into action in a daring escape. Navigating the walls of being both a refugee and an immigrant clearly inform her navigation of the wall of aging, which she approaches as just one more wall to scale with youthful and healthful attitudes and practices.

“Anyone can decide to escape the tyranny of aging and simply adopt techniques to embrace the freedom of joyous longevity,” said Dr. Othmer.

JOYOUS LONGEVITY: The A-Z Field Guide, follows Dr. Othmer’s psychiatric books co-authored with her late husband, Dr. Ekkehard Othmer, and her “Seven Cousins” series for young people. The latter garnered these awards: the Eric Hoffer DaVinci Eye Book Award, the New York City Big Book Award Distinguished Favorite, the Independent Press Award Distinguished Favorite, and the Missouri Writers Guild First Place for the Best Juvenile Fiction in 2018.

Arranged in 26 chapters according to the alphabet, JOYOUS LONGEVITY: The A-Z Field Guide is highly readable and practical advice on how to navigate the biggest pitfalls of aging by integrating healthy habits and activities. In simplifying sometimes complex health and wellness information and focusing on small and manageable tasks, it offers hope as it fulfills the function of the perfect field guide for a satisfying life.

“Sieglinde’s wonderful A - Z approach to aging provides us fellow travelers with inspirational, motivating, fun and creative ideas to maximize every moment of our gift of life,” writes Joan Israelite, Consultant at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts Kansas City.

Lisa Skinner

Behavioral Specialist & Alzheimer's Expert

Author Lisa Skinner is a behavioral specialist with expertise in Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia. In her 30+year career working with family members and caregivers, Lisa has taught them how to successfully navigate the many challenges that accompany this heartbreaking disease. Lisa is both a Certified Dementia Practitioner and a Certified Dementia Care Trainer through the Alzheimer’s Association. Along with being a Certified Dementia Program Director, Lisa holds a degree in Human Behavior.

Do you know that,

We are in the midst of a global crisis that most of us are not even aware of? Maybe because… It’s not in our faces, in the news, or on the internet every single day, but it’s real and it’s out there, just like the proverbial “Elephant in the Room”. It’s larger than life. It’s staring at us all right in our faces, and it’s not going away anytime soon. And it can strike anyone of us at any time…We are talking about Alzheimer’s disease. The fact is that it has become a serious global crisis and is expected to worsen if a treatment or cure is not found. For 30 years, Lisa Skinner has been working to turn this quiet crisis into a rallying call for action. She is not a distant expert. She is a caregiver, a witness, and a translator between families and the systems that serve them. Her mission is to connect with audiences in a way that moves hearts and sparks real, practical action.

- The problem is staggering and growing. By 2025, the number of people expected to develop dementia worldwide will triple from today. That means more families will be facing uncertainty, fear, and impossible decisions with limited guidance.

- What motivates Lisa are the faces of families she has walked beside for three decades; a parent who forgets their adult child’s name; a caregiver burning out from exhaustive, endless shifts; a family planning for futures when the present feels overwhelming.

- Lisa’s work is the convergence of compassion and clarity, translating complex medical realities into actionable steps for families, workplaces, and communities. She has learned what families need most trustworthy information, practical planning tools, and a champion who will stand with them when the system doesn’t.
