THE ART OF STORYTELLING

Participants at the Bradfordville Lifelong Learning class The Art ofStorytelling learned to spin tales. Linda Schulyer Ford, a masterstoryteller, taught several novices what storytelling is and the artitself. They learned true storytelling is interactive. Ford told of the

differences among several types of stories epic, fables, fairy tales,folk tales, and myths (to name a few). Best of all, she enthralledeveryone with a couple stories at each class.

Fords stories and storytelling technique kept everyone coming backto learn and hear every week. By the end of the four-week class, afew brave participants told their own stories.

For anyone interested in telling stories or learning more aboutstorytelling, there are several resources. The Big Bend StorytellersCircle is an area guild that open to anyone regardless of experience.There are also state and national associations and local storytellingslams.

Whats an Expo without a little fun? Neil and Gail McDonald,Allegros sales and marketing director, strike a quick pose forthe photographer. Humor is a good thing!

Active Living Expo fills the house again! It was an upstai

downstairs mega show. With 100 different exhibitors

more than 400 attendees, ALE brought products and

services together with forty-somethings, boomers and

seniors alike. The aroma of popcorn filled the air as participant

received information from nonprofits, state agencies, and for-

profit organizations. Everyone enjoyed learning about new con

niences, places to travel, available assistance in our community,

classes at the senior center and much more.

Participants were able to get their flu shot along with a va

of screenings ranging from blood pressure, balance, vision and

more. All of this was possible through sponsors of this magnific

event which included: Tallahassee Senior Center and Foundatio

Area Agency on Aging, Bath Fitter, Walgreens, Pacifica/Woodm

Tallahassee Memorial Health Care, Tallahassee Democrat and

AARP/United Healthcare Insurance Company.

We hope you enjoy the photos.

The Capital City SeniorGames will provide its owninternational flair to the 2014Florida International SeniorGames & State Championshipsset for Dec. 6-14 when German-

born Helga Turner and SusanBeauchesne, of French descentlace up their bowling shoes inLee County, the first weekend

in December.

While the 2014 State Champi-onships serve as a qualifier andstepping stone to the 2015 Na-tional Senior Games for manyof the 2,000+ athletes who willattend, their story is one heardoften in the Senior Games cir-cles.

If we do well, thats OK,said Turner. If we dont, thatsfine also. Who knows? Wemight have a really good day.Well try our best, said Beau-chesne. Its all fun for me. If I

do as well as I normally do, Illbe happy. Maybe well surpriseourselves.

The two ladies formed a

doubles team after meeting at a

weekday bowling league inTallahassee. Both are recentretirees. Turner is a longtimeFlorida State University em-ployee, in the SupercomputerComputations Research In-stitute, who has lived in Talla-hassee since 1971.

Beauchesne, a retired teach-er, moved to the Capital Cityfrom Arcadia. While Beau-chesne bowled in her youngeryears after taking a class incollege to fulfill a physical

education requirement, herbowling ball sat dormant for 25years as she taught science tohigh school students. She re-turned to the lanes with hersame old ball, five years ago.(Shes since purchased a newball.) Turner didnt start bowl-ing until after retirement.

Their decision to participatein the 2014 State Champion-ships is an admirable one forthe Tallahassee duo since theirbowling is limited to their

weekly league. At the statelevel, their competition willprovide a challenge as some oftheir opponents will have trav-eled around the state and coun-try to tournaments.

We just decided to havesome fun, said Turner. At ourage its very important to con-nect with others. Its alwaysgood to have friends. Beau-chesne agrees with her newfriend about the social elementprovided at Senior Games

events. Its a win-win for me,she said. Ive enjoyed going tothe events, meeting new folksand the competition. Besidestheir participation in the 2014Capital City Senior Games,both Beauchesne and Turnerare involved in classes andopportunities provided by theTallahassee Senior Center.

Beauchesne has taken com-puter classes, used the library,attended Tai-Chi classes andeven ventured onto the Pickle-

ball courts for the first time. Igave it a shot, but I blew out myknee, she said. It was fun butI think I gave it too much of ashot.

Turner recently returnedfrom the Georgia MountainFair trip to North Georgia,offered by the Senior Center.Included in the itinerary of thetrip was a Festhalle October-

fest and Bavarian Village, al-lowing her to return to herBavarian roots. I usually trav-el to Germany every year tovisit my sister, she said. But Iwas unable to make it thisyear.

These two Tallahassee ladiesdont have their sights set onscouting the opposition, col-lecting medals or setting rec-ords in Lee County and futuresenior games events. What is intheir sights is staying active

while enjoying life and enjoy-ing sports.

How about you? Theres stilla chance to register for 2014State Championships in Lee

County.While the opportunity to

qualify for certain sports of the2014 Florida International Sen-ior Games & State Champi-onships is no longer an option

with all local games completedfor the year, there are severalopen sports where athletes maycompete without qualifying.

Athletes can register untilFriday, Nov. 21to compete inArchery, Bag Toss, Billiards,Bocce, Fencing, Powerlifting,Power Walk, Race Walk, Rac-quetball, 5K and 10K Road Raceand Volleyball. Fencing is newto the roster of sports in 2014and online registration is avail-able at www.flasports.com.

One of the most important deci-sions in designing your estate plansis naming the beneficiary or benefi-ciaries of your will, trust, retire-ment or insurance plans. It is com-mon for the beneficiary to be indi-

viduals, usually family members;however, it is not unusual for favor-ite charitable organizations, such asthe Tallahassee Senior Center &Foundation, to be named. Duringthis planning process, you shouldtake the time to consider the needsor capabilities of potential benefi-ciaries.

As noted above, it is typical forfamily members, especially oneschildren, to be named as beneficia-ries of a persons estate. As we age,our children normally establish

their careers and become financial-ly successful on their own with lessneed for funds they might receivethrough your estate. In this com-mon situation, it might be moresatisfying to name another familymember with greater needs as ben-eficiary or to name a charitableorganization as the recipient ofyour estate.

If you have supported an organi-zation during your lifetime, whowill provide this support upon yourdeath? Designating the endowment

fund of an organization as the bene-ficiary of your estate providesfunds from which the earnings cancontinue your support perpetually.There are many ways to do this.Your financial adviser can assistyou, or feel free to call me at 386-8049.

Hopefully, the above discussionwill assist you through the estateplanning as you work with yourestate attorney and other estateprofessionals.

TSC Foundation, go to findlearngi-ve.com. For questions about con-tributing to the TSC Foundation,contact Jim Davis at 386-8049 [email protected].

Did you know?

With nearly 5 million residents age 60and older, Florida currently ranks firstin the nation in percentage of citi-zens who are elders. Floridas seniorpopulation is expected to double to9.7 million by 2030, making senior

issues a primary concern.One in four older adults experiencessome mental disorder such as depres-sion, anxiety disorders and dementia.

Depression is not a normal part ofthe aging process; depression canco-occur with other serious illnessessuch as Parkinsons disease, stroke,heart disease, diabetes and cancerand be often under-treated.

The mental health of older adults canbe improved through the promotion

of active and healthy aging.Research shows that older adultswho participate in senior centerprograms can learn to manage anddelay the onset of chronic diseaseand experience measurable improve-ments in their physical, social, spiritu-al, emotional, mental and economicwell-being.

Note: For sources of these facts,contact Kim Corsmeier at 891-4043.

It is very important for the seniormembers of our community, their

families and friends to recognizewhen there may be signs of a mentalhealth issues. Early referral andtreatment, as well as social/communi-ty engagement, are critical to resolv-ing these problems.
