Lew Wilson brings joy to Deck the Halls Special to Active Living
Lew Wilson returns for his fourth year as Deck the Halls emcee. We asked Wilson to give us a sneak preview of what to expect this year. He’s excited and shares, “I’ll be joined by several of my famous celebrity friends to entertain and guide you through
a very fun-filled evening.” “Some Hollywood stars will be on stage with me and things will be even more exciting than last year,” Wilson promises. Last year’s interesting characters amused and energized party guests throughout the evening so expectations are high. Wilson has a passion for
helping seniors. He sits on the Tallahassee Senior Foundation board of directors and chairs the mem- Wilson bership committee. “The silent auction at
this premiere event is one of the best in town,” says Wilson. “It’s great fun to be on stage and watch the floor action.” The ever cheerful emcee adds that seeing everyone engaged and having a great time adds great pleasure to his night. “Attendees are bidding on homemade wreaths and other items to
take home or give to those who need a little extra cheer in their lives and for me it’s a grand thing. I encourage everyone to come out and experience Deck the Halls to help raise funds in support of senior programming. If you haven’t been here, you are really missing out on one of Tallahassee’s premier

Deck the Halls, a Celebration of Wreaths party By Ruth Nickens
Mark your calendars for Friday, Dec. 6 at 6:30 p.m. This year, there will be more opportunities than ever to get “all decked out” at the Tallahasssee Senior Center’s annual holiday benefit gala, “Deck the Halls, A Celebration of Wreaths.” The BEST holiday party in town starts here! The sparkling and artistic handcrafted wreaths adorning the auditorium walls practically beg your purchase, to be taken home or given as unique gifts to your friends and family. Wreaths are the loveliest and simplest way to add a touch of pizzazz to your home all year long, and some our loyal attendees have told us that you can “never have too many wreaths, though you may have to add an extra room to your house.” The sprawling Deck the Halls silent auction surpasses any other in quality, quantity, and variety of items. This year’s display features hot air balloon adventures, a St. Marks eco-cruise, an amethyst bracelet from Gem Collection, luxurious personal pampering, romantic evenings, celebrity encounters, jewelry galore,
sport and fitness gifts, and much, much more! What a perfect way to knock out your holiday shopping list while supporting a stellar local organization! Be prepared -- auction bidding often gets highly spirited, especially while sipping signature chocolate martinis. There will also be a wide selection of beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages. Scrumptious holiday edibles will once again exceed your culinary expectations. The lovingly chosen array of mouthwatering fare will satisfy carnivores and vegetarians alike. Magical confections and cupcakes will be served on silver trays by dancing sprites and elves. The talented Deborah Lawson Band headlines
the benefit again this year. We think that, though it doesn’t seem possible, the band just keeps getting better every year! The DLB provides a perfect complement of jazzy, bluesy entertainment to an already animated event. In addition to eating, drinking, shopping and bidding, you can also enjoy the warmth of the holiday spirit, the camaraderie of friends old and new, and the anticipation of winning the $500 cash giveaway! Emceed by dedicated board member and community supporter, Lew Wilson, this evening promises to fulfill all your holiday dreams and to create wonderful holiday memories. Tickets are $40 and are on sale now and at the
door. Discounts are available for groups of 6-20 or more. In fact, we hope you will let Deck the Halls host your office holiday party! There’s also free valet parking at the Senior Center, 1400 N. Monroe St. Call 891-4003 for special discount information or advance purchase.

Younger Senior Athletes aspire to compete like their older opponents By Nick Gandy Director of Communications, Florida Sports Foundation
Growing up on the field of play, young athletes look up to older athletes and are inspired by their performances in hopes of emulating their success as they grow older. The same holds true in the Florida Senior Games where athletes range in age from 50 to 100. Often times when turning in an inspiring performance of their own, a senior athlete among the younger age groups are quick to point out older athletes and their performances. “I want to be like them when I grow up.” It just goes to show that you’re never too old to aspire to achieve new goals. Tallahassee’s Bill Tharpe has earned gold medals on tracks all over the world for crossing the finish line with impressive times. For him, he gives a quick nod to 82year old John Hurd, of Navarre, a counterpart on the track who continues to leave opponents scrambling for the silver medal. “He is one of the fastest sprinters in the world in his age group and he keeps himself in excellent physical shape,” said Tharpe. “His sprinting form at age 82 is much better than the majority of other sprinters I have observed. If you saw John from a distance sprinting down the stretch, you would assume you were watching a young track athlete. I certainly hope to be as fast and as physically fit as John when I hit my 80 year mark.” Both men are recordholders in the Florida International Senior Games & State Championships. Tharpe holds the overall
John Hurd (white shirt), 82, has a “sprinting form…better than the majority,” says Tallahassee (younger) senior athlete Bill Tharpe. Tharpe refers to Hurd as his inspiration.
fastest time in the 200 meter dash with a 25.76 and travels all over the world for competitions. Hurd has won 20 consecutive State Championships races dating back to 2003 and won three gold medals at the 2013 National Senior Games in Cleveland. Tallahassee Senior Center Executive Direc-
tor Sheila Salyer spends her days around many inspirational seniors on the job. Being from Kentucky, she grew up with a basketball in her hands. Thanks to the Capital City Senior Games, she found her way back onto the basketball court at Lafayette Park for Basketball Shooting. Instead of Kentucky Wild-
cats of yesteryear, she lined up alongside 85-year old Rose Blackburn and found inspiration. “Rose has only recently picked up a basketball to participate but she’s not afraid to try things and keep getting out there,” Salyer said. “It’s not about thinking I’m too old, but I’m doing what I want to be
doing.” As the Director of Communications for the Florida International Senior Games & State Championships, I’ve seen so many inspirational athletes achieve greatness in the annual Games. I’ve watched in amazement as Jim Corbeil, of Winter Haven, glides through the
Florida Senior Games State Championships Race Walk competition. He makes a very technical event look so easy while judges study the walkers every movement looking for flaws in technique. He’s also recognizable, always wearing a black tshirt and shorts. I call him the Johnny Cash of race walking. Besides holding records in the 65-69 and 70-74 age groups and earning gold medals in the 2013 National Senior Games, Corbeil recently played in the International Shuffleboard Association World Singles Championship in St. Petersburg. In my first year of eligibility in the Senior Games as a 50-year old, I was honored to take the starting line with Corbeil in the 5K event around Lake Hollingsworth in Lakeland. He finished seven minutes ahead of me, giving him plenty of time for him to cool off and rehydrate before I crossed the finish line. While he was quick to congratulate me, I’m the one who’s got their work cut out for them to reach his level. For athletes who qualified at the 2013 Capital City Senior Games, there’s still time to register for the 2013 Florida International Senior Games & State Championships. Online registration is open through November 22 at www.flasports.com. The 2013 State Championships will be held December 715 in Lee County. Over 2,000 athletes, age 50 and over are expected to compete in 24 sports and events over nine days, in the 22nd annual Florida International Senior Games & State Championships.

Editor’s note: Marjorie recently moved into a senior living community and we asked if she would share some thoughts for others who may be considering a move. Locating and settling into a new residence that fits your needs and preferences as an older adult is by any criterion an exciting experience. For this you need a sense of humor, a lot of patience, and the help of your friends and children. Let’s start with the sense of humor. While not essential, this quality can certainly smooth out some of the rough spots! For example, laughoff the stereotypes of “seniors” you have become familiar with. Assume that they simply do not apply to you. You, on the other hand, are mature, intelligent, decisive—and anything else you confidently believe yourself to be. That’s your platform and you may stand on it. Next, stick to your purpose—which is to find a new home. Clearly, your present one is now too big and difficult to maintain for someone your age. The practical course of action is for you to call in the help of a trusted realtor. The realtor you select
can guide you in all the details involved in selling your home while you still live there. Sprucing up the house by cleaning, de-cluttering, and painting or repairing as needed is paramount. Don’t forget the exterior. The landscaping may be less than appealing. Remember what you have heard so often about “curb appeal.” An attractive first impression is often halfway to a sale. While you are going through the stages of selling your home, you should be researching your options for your next home, so that you can be ready to pack and move when the time comes. Perhaps the idea of a “retirement residence” appeals to you, if you have decided that you do not wish to “move in with the kids.” With the help of the “yellow pages” (and hopefully some recommendations of friends) you can pinpoint several retirement homes that seem favorable. Be sure to visit these and talk to current residents. The clouds will invariably clear and VOILA—the realtor places a Sold sign on your property! Now that you have burned your bridges, you are ready to move to the local “retirement residence” which you
TSC HOLIDAY CLOSURES The Tallahassee Senior Center will be closed for the holiday as indicated. Please mark your calendar.
have pre-selected. Here come the surprises—both good and disturbing. You may now be living in a facility which is controlled (as far as you know) by corporate management somewhere in Outer Mongolia. Be prepared for unusual and challenging experiences. Carpeting and re-carpeting seems to be an on-going “improvement” favored by the powers that be. Residents can find themselves blocked and re-routed often when they are trying to get to dinner or even just to catch the next elevator ride up or down. For this surprise, fondly referred to as “Carpeting Mayhem,” you may need special equipment, such as roller skates or ice skates. Picture Eliza in Uncle Tom’s Cabin picking her way among the ice floes. Instead, you have only your walker and a shrill voice for asking directions of the workmen present. Eventually all is smooth and attractive under-foot and you can breathe a sigh of relief. Another, and the final surprise: you find the food is good, the residents companionable, and the managers eager and able to serve your every need and wish (almost.) How lucky can you get!

Senior Center for the Arts honors LaValle volunteer
Guardian ad Litem offers a chance to make a difference By Leigh Merritt
Staying involved with the community is essential for many of us. The Guardian ad Litem program is proud to have a wide age range of volunteers. Stuart Zirin, GAL Volunteer, shares his experience: “Volunteering with the Guardian ad Litem Program has been one of the most fulfilling activities of my life. Making a positive difference in children’s lives makes me feel a sense of great satisfaction and accomplishment. As a retired person, rather than being idle and non-productive, the program has given me opportunities to remain active and socially engaged.”
What is required? A 30-hour training is offered every month, home visits, family interviews and court appearances take about 8-10 hours a month — the average time commitment. What support is offered? Peer-Mentor is assigned to every new volunteer; there is a team approach with staff on each case; and there is an annual volunteer awards ceremony. Volunteer Dot Binger has this to say of her experience with Guardian ad Litem: “When I began to think about retiring I realized I had to continue being involved with the welfare of children and youth. After all, I had spent 45 years teaching young people. In 1989 I
learned about the Guardian ad Litem Program and its only purpose — that of advocating for the best interest of abused and neglected children. That was it as far as I was concerned — where I needed to be involved! The passion for doing this advocacy has remained with me for 24 years, and I find that retirement has a great purpose.” Volunteers Dot Binger and Leigh Merritt will be guests at Chaires/ Dorothy C. Spence Community Center on November 26. Bring your questions and join us for lunch! Next volunteer training begins Dec. 2. To apply call 850-606-1218, or go to www.gal2.org.
Better Hearing Brings Smiles! Christie Moore, the Vivian LaValle Art Volunteer of the Year, coordinating the art exhibit at the North Florida Fair with help from Charles Hazelip, Gerald Ness and Nancy Holland.
Galleries at TSC are open to the public Monday – Friday, 9 a.m. – 9 p.m. Receptions free and open to the public.
Art Volunteer of the Year Christie Moore was recognized as the 2013 Vivian LaValle Art Volunteer of the Year at the Nov. 1 Art Reception at TSC. The Art Program is built upon many hours of volunteer service, organizing art exhibits, hanging art, working with judges, managing the art library, maintaining art equipment and supplies in the art studio, painting
air raid sirens, creating policy and dissemination of information through Art Council and helping others. The award is named for Vivian LaValle, who served as the first Art Program Coordinator on a volunteer basis and developed the program by impressing upon art participants the importance of volunteerism as well as the intrinsic rewards of learning to create beautiful art. A troupe of volunteers from the TSC Art Program has coordinated the North FL Fair Art Exhibit since 2006. For five years under the leadership of art in-
structor Charles Hazelip, volunteers were recruited and scheduled to receive, catalogue, hang art, judge, hang ribbon, and return an average of 400 artworks to over 100 artists each year. In 2011 he suggested to his art student Christie Moore that she might take over the lead of this team effort, which she has done enthusiastically and with great proficiency for three years now. A retired CPA, Christie not only coordinates the Fair Art Exhibition annually, she serves on the art council and processes income tax returns through Tax Aide.

Present at the Marie Reynolds STAR unveiling are, left to right, her friend Don Gillen, daughters Amy Kelly Porter and Cynthia Chambers, and Marie’s sister Jamie Reynolds Joyner.
ANNOUNCING THE 2014 SILVER STARS AWARDS May 22 at FSU’s University Center The Tallahassee Senior Center will begin accepting applications for Silver Stars in January. Eight Silver Stars are selected from nominees to be honored at the annual Silver Stars gala. Watch for the nomination form in the January issue of Active Living Magazine and nominate the senior you feel best deserves to be recognized for community service and volunteerism. Honorees are selected on their contributions since turning age 60. Silver Stars come from all walks of life—teachers, nurses, scientists, church leaders, military veterans, moms, dads and grandparents. It’s all a matter of heart. The one thing past winners have in common is their desire to continue serve others and their community.
Stars everywhere The Tallahassee Senior Center & Foundation recently announced the addition of the Galaxy of Stars to honor those individuals so special to us. What a great holiday gift! The central hallway at TSC now glitters with silver STARS on a wall that resembles a nighttime sky glittering with cosmic patterns. STARS come in a variety of sizes and cost. They can be customized to “honor” or “in memory of” and purchasers may add a brief tribute. For more information on this new project, please call Lisa Dollar Covert at 8914027. The family of Constance Marie Reynolds
The family of Jerry Bryant and his sister Linda Roberts (President of the Tallahassee Senior Foundation) gather for the unveiling of a STAR to be placed in Jerry’s memory. Family members include (beginning with child, from left) Eli Bryant, Matthew Bryant, Laurel Bryant, Jeanne Bryant, Isabelle Bryant, Stephen Bryant, Jenifer Bryant and Roberts.
delighted in learning about the Galaxy of Stars to honor loved ones at the Tallahassee Senior Center. Marie was a “regular” at the Senior Center and it became part of her family. Family members share that, “She referred
to it (TSC) as the ‘Senior Club.’” The family placed their star in memory of Marie. Her daughter Amy Porter serves on the TSCF board of directors and is a volunteer at many functions. When Jerry retired in
2004, he decided that he had to get ‘with it’ with his computer skills. Jerry was a genealogist and he found that the Internet was a fantastic resource for finding information and he was determined to access this vast resource. He signed up for computer classes at the Senior Center and was hooked. He continued taking classes until his illness limited his activities. Jerry Bryant passed away on April 28, 2012. The Bryant Family knew that with Jerry’s STAR, they could honor Jerry and support the Senor Center. Jerry loved the Senior Center and would have loved his STAR.

Hospice holds remembrance dinner By Sharon Davidson
Big Bend Hospice invites the public to attend a special Feast of Remembrance on Nov. 12 to honor loved ones who have died. Attendees are welcome to bring a special dish. There will be time to share stories associated with the dishes and time to explore ways to cope during the holiday season. The Feast of Remembrance is especially for families with school-aged children. Event is from 6 – 8 pm at Big Bend Hospice, 1723 Mahan Center Blvd. For more information or to register please contact: Pam Mezzina at 878-5310 x 799 or pam@bigbendhospice.org.
Hospice services and expense Patients benefit most from hospice care when life expectancy is approximately six months. The patient, family and friends can initiate the process by contacting a local hospice program. When people learn about all that hospice care has to offer, often they are both relieved and concerned: relieved that the comprehensive list of services aims to comfort the patient and assist the caregiver; concerned about how such valuable services are paid for. Many times people are hesitant to contact hospice because they are unsure of the cost. However, once someone is medically qualified for hospice, most hospice patients use Medicare Hospice benefits to pay for their care. (“Eighty percent of people who use hospice care are over the age of 65, and are thus entitled to the services offered by the Medicare Hospice Benefit” – National Hospice and Pallia-
tive Care Organization, 2013.) Medicare Part A offers 100% coverage for hospice services, including expert pain and symptom management, care from a team of professionals, medicines, medical equipment and medical supplies related to the hospice diagnosis. Specifically, it covers physician and nursing services, hospice aides, spiritual, dietary and other counseling, continuous care during crisis periods, trained volunteers and bereavement services. Every BBH patient will always have access to the hospice team by telephone. After hours, a BBH nurse will respond to the call. An “on call” team member will make a home visit if assistance is necessary. The Hospice Benefit does not pay for roundthe-clock care for patients. Hospice social workers help families figure out how to get additional care for patients who need more help. Also, unlike the Medicare Home Health benefit, the Hospice benefit does not require patients to be homebound. Hospice patients are free to go out to visit friends and family, or participate in other activities as they are able. A patient can remain in hospice care beyond six months if a physician re-certifies that the patient is terminally ill. Regular Medicare coverage is available to Hospice beneficiaries for non-terminal related services. In 1986, laws were passed to allow the states to develop coverage for hospice programs. Most states have a Medicaid hospice benefit, which is patterned after the Medicare hospice benefit. Coverage by private insurance is similar to the Medicare and Medicaid
munity support allows all eligible patients to receive care from Big Bend Hospice. Big Bend Hospice has been serving this community since 1983 with compassionate end of life care along with grief and loss counselors available to provide information and support to anyone in Leon, Jefferson, Taylor, Madison, Gadsden, Liberty, Franklin or Wakulla County. If you would like additional information about services, please call 850-878-5310 or visit www.bigbendhospice.org.

Hospice benefits. Hospice services are covered for military families under Tricare. Your local hospice, Big Bend Hospice, Inc., through community support, covers the costs of qualified patients needing care who have no insurance. Sometimes a terminally ill patient’s health improves or their illness
goes into remission and the patient can be discharged from service. Also, as a hospice patient, you always have the right to stop getting hospice care for any reason. If you stop your hospice care, you will receive the type of Medicare or Medicaid coverage that you had before electing hospice. If you are eligible,
you can go back to hospice care at any time. When you have hospice care, the financial burdens usually associated with caring for a terminally ill patient are virtually nonexistent. Through Big Bend Hospice, no one is ever refused services because of inability to pay. As the hometown hospice, com-
Alzheimer's Project, Inc. provides comfort, support, and assistance to persons with memory disorders and their caregivers in the Big Bend area. The non-profit organization is funded by grants and private donations and is dedicated to providing relief to the caregivers of persons suffering from Alzheimer's Disease or other memory impairments. ALL services available to the caregivers are provided FREE of charge. Services of the local agency include: support groups, counseling, referrals, educational programs, respite opportunities and the proactive recovery of wandering patients with Project Lifesaver. The goal of Alzheimer's Project, Inc. is to keep caregivers healthier, both physically and emotionally, to prolong the abilities of caregivers, and to delay institutionalization of the patients.
