Job website aimed at ages 50+Florida Jobs for
Grandparents and all Seniors 50+ By Karen Best Wright, www.Rais-ingYourGrandchildren.com.
Florida has a web-site specifically to help seniors 50+ find jobs. It’s called “Employ Florida Marketplace Senior Edition.” It is an online source at http://silver.employflorida.com/portals/silver/. You just type in your zip code and the radius in miles that you are will-
ing to search. A list of jobs with job titles and usually the pay will be listed.
Many grandparents who are raising grand-children have to quit their jobs to stay home to take care of the chil-dren, and many seniors have to go back to work just to afford to feed them.
In today’s economy this might be a great place for Florida seniors who are looking for employment to start.

A love story: Legacy will continue helping seniorsGenerous donors
recently established an endowment in honor of William H. Moncrief for his constant dedica-tion to Elder Care Ser-vices. The endowment helps secure Elder Care Services’ mission to “improve the qual-ity of life for seniors.” It represents security for the future, as well as 30-plus years of passion for helping seniors.
Elizabeth Anne “Liz” Ward Moncrief, a native of Fort Myers, moved to Tallahassee in 1964 when husband, Bill, took a job with the Florida Department of Education. In 1973, the Senior Society Plan-ning Council called for volunteers to help launch the new Meals on Wheels program in Leon County and Liz was one of the first to respond.
Bill and Liz grew up together but were not childhood sweethearts. It was only after they became partners in square dancing that they fell in love and got married. Once in Tal-lahassee, they became a regular part of many community organiza-tions. For 28 years, Liz devoted many hours helping seniors by delivering Meals on Wheels weekly and planning activities at the Adult Day Care. She served five terms on the board of what was then called the Senior Society Plan-ning Council, later to become Elder Care Ser-vices. Liz lost her fight with breast cancer in 2001.
Bill and Liz were married nearly 44 years. He continues her passion for helping seniors and impacting their lives. Bill joined the Elder Care Ser-vices Board of Direc-tors in March 2003. Since then, he has vol-unteered for Meals on Wheels and fundrais-ers, and served on com-mittees, including the Senior Volunteer Advi-sory Committee, which guides policy for senior volunteer programs such as Foster Grand-parents and Senior Companions.
As an active partici-pant of Elder Cares’ Retired Senior Volun-teer Program (RSVP),
Bill was a reading men-tor to first-graders at Kate Sullivan Ele-mentary School and
describes his mentor-ing at Lively Vocational Technical Institute as “terribly important.”
A friendly face at the Tallahassee airport, Bill has volunteered at the Tallahassee Area Convention and Visi-tors Bureau infor-mation kiosk since it opened. He also greets visitors to the Museum of Florida History in the R.A. Gray Building one morning a week.
In addition to spend-ing time with his two sons’ families and four grandchildren, Bill is a member of the Flor-ida Heritage Founda-tion and volunteers at Trinity United Method-ist Church. He says his secret to positive aging is definitely volunteer-ing. “It keeps you busy and active. Volunteer-ing has helped me get through the years since my wife died.” It is due to this reputation that the Tallahassee Senior Center selected him as one of their Silver Stars in 2005.
Yet it is his devo-tion to continuing his wife’s legacy of helping seniors that resulted in the establishment of the William H. Mon-crief Endowment. Elder Care Services worked with the Community Foundation of North Florida to establish this endowment to honor Bill.
This endowment, administered by Elder Care Services, will pro-vide annual proceeds used to assist seniors with regular meals, in-home services and per-sonal care.
The endowment will play a major role in Elder Care Services’ mission to “improve the quality of life for seniors”. The advan-tage of this endowment is that the principal is invested and produc-es an annual stream of income for ECS in per-petuity.

Community garden thrives in Fort Braden “Mary, Mary, quite
contrary, how does your garden grow?”
Quite well, I discov-ered, during a recent visit to the Fort Braden Community Garden. Nestled near the Fort Braden Branch Library and the Fort Braden Community Center is a patch of land Leon County designated as a “community garden.” An eight-foot wire fence encloses a 100-by-200 foot area, divided into 15-foot size plots.
Drive right up to your piece of heaven, till, plant, water and con-sult with your neigh-bors on the best way to
ensure a bountiful crop.Also on site is mulch
provided by Talquin Electric and manure
provided by the Leon County Sheriff’s Office Mounted Posse Unit. The county also installed water spigots at each site. Lifetime gardeners and begin-ners alike, enjoy these amenities which allow
for hassle free gar-dening. Thirty dollars reserves your plot for a year.
Linda Nicholsen, Janis Piotrowski, and Dorothy Carr, mem-bers of the Fort Braden Green Thumbs Garden Club, helped initiate the effort to establish a community garden in their “neck of the woods” off Highway 20. With the help of Leon County Commissioner Jane Sauls and Mag-gie Theriot, Sustain-ability Coordinator for Leon County, a dream was realized and has become a true commu-nity effort.
Just Fruits Nurs-ery donated assorted fruit trees, now plant-ed and growing around the garden. Plans are also in the mak-ing to add a bat house and some purple mar-tin houses. The mem-bers of the community garden enjoy food, fun and fellowship dur-ing work day gather-ings held throughout the year. Leon County Senior Outreach Senior Day participant Doro-thy Carr says, “Partici-pating in the commu-nity garden has been a great way to stay active and engaged in my community.”
And everyone’s invited to the next LCSO senior day in Fort Braden. Tuesday, March 15, it’s “Spring into Gardening,” pre-sented by Trevor Hyl-ton, Leon County Extension Service. Hyl-ton also happens to be the person to contact to find out more about establishing a com-munity garden in your area; call Hylton at 606-5200.

Program helps resolve family conflictYou may not have
much in common with your siblings now that you’re grown. But there’s still one thing you share: your mom and dad. A new local program – the 50-50 Rule – offers strategies for overcoming sibling differences to help fami-lies provide the best care for elderly parents.
“Any family that has cared for a senior loved one knows that prob-lems working with sib-lings can lead to fam-ily strife,” said Scott Harrell, a local own-er of Home Instead Senior Care that serves Leon, Gadsden, Jeffer-son and Wakulla Coun-ties. “Making decisions together, dividing the workload and teamwork are the keys to overcom-
ing family conflict.”The 50-50 Rule refers
to the average age (50) when siblings are car-ing for their parents as well as the need for brothers and sisters to share in the plans for care 50-50. Research conducted for the Home Instead Senior Care® network reveals that an inability to work together often leads to one sibling becoming responsible for the bulk of caregiving in 43 per-cent of families. And that can result in the deterioration of relation-ships with brothers and sisters.
“If you’re 50, have siblings and are assist-ing with the care of seniors, it’s time to develop a plan,” Harrell said. “This program can
help.” Just ask Marc Moncrief, Harrell’s director of marketing, who together with his brother Ward, is there for dad William Mon-crief.
The program features practical advice from sibling relationships expert Dr. Ingrid Con-nidis from the Universi-ty of Western Ontario.
“Like all relation-ships, siblings have a history,” Connidis noted. “Regardless of their circumstances, most siblings do feel a responsibility to care for parents that is built from love.”

Senior Games take Tallahassee by stormThe 2011 Senior
Games filled commu-nity centers and parks around Tallahassee as athletes ages 50 to 91 participated in games and sports such as swimming, bowling, table tennis and every-thing in between. Event coordinators with Tal-lahassee Parks and Rec-reation together with volunteers worked dili-gently to ensure the games’ success.
Cindy Meade, one of the coordinators, reflect-ed on what the event means to her, and why the work involved in planning the event was worth it. “It’s just an excellent chance to pro-vide recreational compe-tition for seniors in our community … oftentimes people think that it’s similar to the Olympics,” said Meade. “But it’s for all seniors of all abili-ties who like to compete and meet new people. It’s not just about being good enough; it’s about enjoy-ing the experience.”
“It’s a great opportu-nity for athletes 50 and older, for both competi-tive and recreational participants to come together and compete,” said Ashley Edwards, the games coordina-tor and assistant direc-tor of TPRD. “We had a 91-year-old lady do the 100-meter dash; she was
just thrilled to do it and finish and get the medal. It was just really neat to see her and her fam-ily at that event,” reflects Edwards.
The Senior Games also serve as a gateway for further athletic competi-tion. The Senior Games table-tennis tournament served as a qualifier for a regional table tennis tournament later this year. Participants are passionate about their sports and try to encour-
age others to partici-pate. “We’re trying to promote the sport through-out the whole state of Florida,” says Scott Landon, a table-ten-nis partici-pant. “And this is an opportunity for us to do it right here in Talla-hassee. I’ve been play-ing since I was a kid, so I start-ed competi-tively in col-lege,” says Landon. “It’s good for your brain, and it’s good for your heart.”
Hal Fletcher, another table-tennis participant, says, “It’s great exercise and great sport. There’s camaraderie. We laugh, we play, and we sweat. It’s just a lot of fun.”
Those involved in the Senior Games encour-age everyone 50 and over to participate, no matter what skill level or abil-ity. Edwards says, “One of the biggest things … don’t let the fact that it’s called Senior Games
turn you off if you’re a young senior or boom-er. I think a lot of people don’t compete because they don’t want to be considered a senior. It’s a lot of fun, you’re com-peting against those the same age as you, whether you want to be a senior or not, it’s just how people are grouped.”

Walter Liddell misses a medal by a couple of points but encourages others to enter next year’s games without hesitation — and he’ll be back to try again too. Liddell says that the games enabled him to foster relationships and he’s now golfing with his new friends.
Doris Starks gives her all in the 1,500-meter run. Starks also ran the 100-meter dash, 200-meter dash and the 400-meter run.

Powerhouse of energyWhen talking about
Lori Roberts, the partic-ipants in her class offer lavish praise. Angelina Thornton expresses it this way: “She’s wonder-ful, very energizing.”
Roberts loves her work and exudes cheer-fulness when describ-ing it. The method she employs is called NIA, for Neuro Integrated Action. “NIA works the brain and body togeth-er,” she explains. “It incorporates yoga, the martial arts and danc-ing at the same time. One other important component is music selected purposely to inspire and energize. Music gets people excit-ed about what they are doing.”
She plays jazz and other popular musical selections such as the Andrews Sisters’ “Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree.” “Class members just love it,” Roberts says. “Occasionally I sing along to the music. I used to be a singer and I just can’t contain myself.”
“Lori Roberts has the most amazing and warm energy. She reminds me of Liza Minnelli. I love to walk into the room during her class to watch her smile, her grace and her passion for what she is teaching,” said Ruth Nickens, TSC’s health program coordinator.
With inspiring music as a backdrop, the stu-dents in Roberts’ class gain valuable exer-cise without feeling the effort. One participant, Wynonie Everett, age 74, declares, “The Chair Yoga class is just beau-tiful. My doctor told me if I didn’t exercise
I wouldn’t be able to walk.”
There is serious ther-apy in the exercises. “In life, we do a lot with our hands and feet,” Rob-erts emphasizes, and “people forget to exer-cise them. When you are using your fin-gers you are using your brain. It all ties togeth-er.”
Roberts was born in Orlando, and she moved to Tallahassee at age 5 with her fam-
ily. She grew up singing and dancing at Young Actors Theatre and attended local schools, eventually graduating with a degree in graph-ics design from Flori-da State University. By trade a graphics design-er, Roberts published the magazine Family Forum for 15 years.
She says with charac-teristic humor, “At what I consider my ‘mid-life crisis’ I realized I needed to get out from
behind the comput-er and share my time with physical and joyful activity. My sister, who is a yoga, pilates and NIA instructor, inspired me to become certified to teach NIA. I took my training in Michi-gan, where we learned a lot about moving and breathing while incor-porating the music.”
Roberts started teaching at the Senior Center quite by chance. She reveals, “I just had a conversation with Ruth Nickens the day the center needed a yoga instructor. I was able to step right in.”
An enthusiastic pro-ponent of NIA, Rob-erts says “The one most important thing about NIA is it makes you happy.”

Stamp collecting showcased
The Tallahassee Stamp and Cover Club will host its annual stamp show at the Tal-lahassee Senior Cen-ter on March 26 and 27. “The show is a chance to bring dealers, but we are mostly interested in showcasing the educa-tional benefits and in sharing the sheer enjoy-ment of collecting with the public,” says club vice president Ed Wal-ters.
Before the Inter-net and even before jet travel, stamp collect-ing opened up the world to many young people, mostly boys and men. To a lot of seniors, stamp collecting was their first hands-on introduc-tion to the world out-side their borders, and the tradition of collect-ing helped them con-nect to an earlier gen-eration. “My granddad had a stamp collection, and my dad started me collecting when I was 4 years old,” says Dr. Mike Francis, president of the club. “We soaked and sorted stamps together, and as a result I learned so much geography and history at an early age.”
Walters got inter-ested in stamp collect-ing while in the mili-tary in Alaska, followed by stints in Japan and
Korea. “Some people col-lect stamps as an invest-ment, but I just do it for fun,” says the retired high-school math teach-er.
Collecting stamps and covers (envelopes of historic value such as those from private cor-respondence during the Civil War) can be both a hobby and an invest-ment. That’s where the club comes in. The Tal-lahassee Stamp and Cover Club charges very modest annual dues and supports its mem-bers through a monthly meeting at the Talla-hassee Senior Center. Meetings are held the second Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. and feature a short presen-tation but most impor-tantly, the club provides a forum for hobbyists, a chance for trading, and expert help for novice collectors. It is the one place to go for advice on stamps. Sometimes a collection comes to light only after the death of the collector. Then an heir receiving the col-lection becomes keen-ly interested but needs unbiased advice. Many times the club has assisted family mem-bers with the valuation and sale of a hobbyist’s existing collection. “We help each other,” says Francis.

The Senior Games are an inspiration to everyone involved. From serious athletes to rec-reational competitors, medal contenders laud the efforts of each other. Volunteers and specta-tors cheer for every ath-lete as the finish lap or line nears.
And all of Tallahassee will be cheering for Carl Larsen who medaled last year in golf and is on his way to the national games’ compe-tition.

Senior resources: grandparents as parentsFacts:n From 1980 to 1990
there was a 44-percent increase in the number of children living with their grandparents.
n Today there are more than 6 million children living in a household headed by grandparents or other relatives.
n In Florida, more than 371,000 children live in households head-ed by grandparents or other relatives.
n Approximately 2.4 million children live in households where grandparents are the primary caregivers.
n Factors such as drug and alcohol abuse problems, neglect, abuse or abandonment, death, unemployment, parental incarceration, AIDS, teenage pregnan-cy, divorce and home-lessness have caused grandparents and other kinship caretakers to assume the role of par-ents.
n Most grandpar-ents raising grandchil-dren are overwhelmed and need support. The majority of grandpar-ents raising grand-children are under 55 (but range to age 90), with an average annual income between $15,000 and $25,000.
n Approximately 57 percent of grandparents raising grandchildren are still working and about 17 percent are liv-ing in poverty.
n About half of the grandchildren living with a grandparent are younger than 6.
