A love story: Legacy will continue helping seniors
Generous donorsrecently established anendowment in honor o William H. Moncrie or his constant dedica-tion to Elder Care Ser-vices. The endowmenthelps secure ElderCare Services’ missionto “improve the qual-ity o lie or seniors.” Itrepresents security orthe uture, as well as30-plus years o passionor helping seniors.
Elizabeth Anne“Liz” Ward Moncrie,a native o Fort Myers,moved to Tallahasseein 1964 when husband,Bill, took a job with theFlorida Department o Education. In 1973, theSenior Society Plan-ning Council calledor volunteers to helplaunch the new Mealson Wheels program inLeon County and Liz
was one o the frst torespond.
Bill and Liz grew uptogether but were notchildhood sweethearts.It was only ater theybecame partners insquare dancing thatthey ell in love and gotmarried. Once in Tal-lahassee, they becamea regular part o manycommunity organiza-tions. For 28 years, Lizdevoted many hourshelping seniors bydelivering Meals onWheels weekly andplanning activities atthe Adult Day Care.She served fve termson the board o whatwas then called theSenior Society Plan-ning Council, later tobecome Elder Care Ser-vices. Liz lost her fght
with breast cancer in2001.
Bill and Liz weremarried nearly 44years. He continuesher passion or helpingseniors and impactingtheir lives. Bill joinedthe Elder Care Ser-vices Board o Direc-tors in March 2003.Since then, he has vol-unteered or Meals onWheels and undrais-ers, and served on com-mittees, including theSenior Volunteer Advi-sory Committee, whichguides policy or seniorvolunteer programssuch as Foster Grand-parents and SeniorCompanions.
As an active partici-pant o Elder Cares’
Retired Senior Volun-teer Program (RSVP),
Bill was a reading men-tor to frst-graders atKate Sullivan Ele-mentary School and
describes his mentor-ing at Lively VocationalTechnical Institute as“terribly important.”
A riendly ace at theTallahassee airport,Bill has volunteered atthe Tallahassee AreaConvention and Visi-tors Bureau inor-mation kiosk since itopened. He also greetsvisitors to the Museumo Florida History inthe R.A. Gray Buildingone morning a week.
In addition to spend-ing time with his twosons’ amilies and ourgrandchildren, Bill isa member o the Flor-
ida Heritage Founda-tion and volunteers atTrinity United Method-ist Church. He says hissecret to positive agingis defnitely volunteer-ing. “It keeps you busyand active. Volunteer-ing has helped me getthrough the years sincemy wie died.” It is dueto this reputation thatthe Tallahassee SeniorCenter selected him as
one o their Silver Starsin 2005.
Yet it is his devo-tion to continuing hiswie’s legacy o helpingseniors that resultedin the establishment o the William H. Mon-crie Endowment. ElderCare Services workedwith the CommunityFoundation o NorthFlorida to establish thisendowment to honorBill.
This endowment,administered by ElderCare Services, will pro-vide annual proceeds
used to assist seniorswith regular meals, in-home services and per-sonal care.
The endowment willplay a major role inElder Care Services’mission to “improvethe quality o lie orseniors”. The advan-tage o this endowmentis that the principal isinvested and produc-es an annual stream o
income or ECS in per-petuity.

ensure a bountiul crop.Also on site is mulch

Linda Nicholsen,Janis Piotrowski, andDorothy Carr, mem-bers o the Fort BradenGreen Thumbs GardenClub, helped initiatethe eort to establisha community gardenin their “neck o thewoods” o Highway 20.With the help o LeonCounty CommissionerJane Sauls and Mag-gie Theriot, Sustain-ability Coordinator or

Program helps resolve family conflictYou may not have
much in common withyour siblings now thatyou’re grown. Butthere’s still one thingyou share: your momand dad. A new localprogram – the 50-50Rule – oers strategiesor overcoming siblingdierences to help ami-lies provide the bestcare or elderly parents.
“Any amily that hascared or a senior lovedone knows that prob-lems working with sib-lings can lead to am-ily strie,” said ScottHarrell, a local own-
er o Home InsteadSenior Care that servesLeon, Gadsden, Jeer-son and Wakulla Coun-ties. “Making decisionstogether, dividing theworkload and teamworkare the keys to overcom-
ing amily confict.”The 50-50 Rule reers
to the average age (50)when siblings are car-ing or their parentsas well as the need orbrothers and sisters toshare in the plans orcare 50-50. Researchconducted or the HomeInstead Senior Care®network reveals thatan inability to worktogether oten leads toone sibling becomingresponsible or the bulko caregiving in 43 per-cent o amilies. Andthat can result in thedeterioration o relation-
ships with brothers andsisters.“I you’re 50, have
siblings and are assist-ing with the care o seniors, it’s time todevelop a plan,” Harrellsaid. “This program can
help.” Just ask MarcMoncrie, Harrell’sdirector o marketing,who together with hisbrother Ward, is thereor dad William Mon-crie.
The program eaturespractical advice romsibling relationshipsexpert Dr. Ingrid Con-nidis rom the Universi-ty o Western Ontario.
“Like all relation-ships, siblings havea history,” Connidisnoted. “Regardless o their circumstances,most siblings do eel aresponsibility to care
or parents that is builtrom love.”For more inormation

Senior Games take Tallahassee by storm
The 2011 SeniorGames lled commu-nity centers and parksaround Tallahassee as
athletes ages 50 to 91participated in gamesand sports such asswimming, bowling,table tennis and every-thing in between. Eventcoordinators with Tal-lahassee Parks and Rec-reation together withvolunteers worked dili-gently to ensure thegames’ success.
Cindy Meade, one o the coordinators, refect-
ed on what the eventmeans to her, and whythe work involved inplanning the event wasworth it. “It’s just anexcellent chance to pro-vide recreational compe-tition or seniors in ourcommunity … otentimespeople think that it’ssimilar to the Olympics,”said Meade. “But it’s orall seniors o all abili-ties who like to compete
and meet new people. It’snot just about being goodenough; it’s about enjoy-ing the experience.”
“It’s a great opportu-nity or athletes 50 andolder, or both competi-tive and recreationalparticipants to cometogether and compete,”said Ashley Edwards,the games coordina-tor and assistant direc-
tor o TPRD. “We had a91-year-old lady do the100-meter dash; she was
just thrilled to do it and
nish and get the medal.It was just really neatto see her and her am-ily at that event,” refectsEdwards.
The Senior Games alsoserve as a gateway orurther athletic competi-tion. The Senior Gamestable-tennis tournamentserved as a qualier ora regional table tennistournament later this
year. Participants arepassionate about theirsports and try to encour-
age othersto partici-pate. “We’retrying topromotethe sport
through-out thewhole stateo Florida,”says ScottLandon, atable-ten-nis partici-pant. “Andthis is anopportunityor us to doit right herein Talla-
hassee. I’vebeen play-ing since Iwas a kid,so I start-ed competi-tively in col-lege,” saysLandon.“It’s good oryour brain,and it’s goodor yourheart.”
Hal Fletcher, anothertable-tennis participant,says, “It’s great exerciseand great sport. There’scamaraderie. We laugh,we play, and we sweat.It’s just a lot o un.”
Those involved in theSenior Games encour-age everyone 50 and overto participate, no matterwhat skill level or abil-ity. Edwards says, “One
o the biggest things …don’t let the act thatit’s called Senior Games
turn you o i you’re ayoung senior or boom-er. I think a lot o peopledon’t compete becausethey don’t want to beconsidered a senior. It’sa lot o un, you’re com-peting against thosethe same age as you,whether you want to bea senior or not, it’s justhow people are grouped.”

Powerhouse of energy When talking about
Lori Roberts, the partic-ipants in her class oerlavish praise. AngelinaThornton expresses itthis way: “She’s wonder-ul, very energizing.”
Roberts loves herwork and exudes cheer-ulness when describ-ing it. The method sheemploys is called NIA,or Neuro IntegratedAction. “NIA works thebrain and body togeth-er,” she explains. “Itincorporates yoga, the
martial arts and danc-ing at the same time.One other importantcomponent is musicselected purposely toinspire and energize.Music gets people excit-ed about what they aredoing.”
She plays jazz andother popular musicalselections such as theAndrews Sisters’ “Don’tSit Under the Apple
Tree.” “Class membersjust love it,” Robertssays. “Occasionally Ising along to the music.I used to be a singerand I just can’t containmysel.”
“Lori Roberts hasthe most amazing andwarm energy. Shereminds me o LizaMinnelli. I love to walkinto the room duringher class to watch her
smile, her grace and herpassion or what sheis teaching,” said RuthNickens, TSC’s healthprogram coordinator.
With inspiring musicas a backdrop, the stu-dents in Roberts’ classgain valuable exer-cise without eeling theeort. One participant,Wynonie Everett, age74, declares, “The Chair
Yoga class is just beau-tiul. My doctor toldme i I didn’t exercise
I wouldn’t be able to
walk.”There is serious ther-
apy in the exercises. “Inlie, we do a lot with ourhands and eet,” Rob-erts emphasizes, and“people orget to exer-cise them. When youare using your fn-gers you are using yourbrain. It all ties togeth-er.”
Roberts was born
in Orlando, and shemoved to Tallahasseeat age 5 with her am-
ily. She grew up singing
and dancing at YoungActors Theatre andattended local schools,eventually graduatingwith a degree in graph-ics design rom Flori-da State University. Bytrade a graphics design-er, Roberts publishedthe magazine FamilyForum or 15 years.
She says with charac-teristic humor, “At what
I consider my ‘mid-lie crisis’ I realized Ineeded to get out rom
behind the comput-er and share my timewith physical and joyulactivity. My sister, whois a yoga, pilates andNIA instructor, inspiredme to become certifedto teach NIA. I tookmy training in Michi-gan, where we learneda lot about moving andbreathing while incor-porating the music.”
Roberts started
teaching at the SeniorCenter quite by chance.She reveals, “I just hada conversation withRuth Nickens the daythe center needed ayoga instructor. I wasable to step right in.”
An enthusiastic pro-ponent o NIA, Rob-erts says “The one mostimportant thing aboutNIA is it makes youhappy.”

Stamp collecting showcased
The TallahasseeStamp and Cover Club
will host its annualstamp show at the Tal-lahassee Senior Cen-ter on March 26 and 27.“The show is a chanceto bring dealers, but weare mostly interested inshowcasing the educa-tional benefts and insharing the sheer enjoy-ment o collecting withthe public,” says clubvice president Ed Wal-ters.
Beore the Inter-net and even beore jettravel, stamp collect-ing opened up the worldto many young people,mostly boys and men. Toa lot o seniors, stampcollecting was theirfrst hands-on introduc-tion to the world out-side their borders, andthe tradition o collect-ing helped them con-nect to an earlier gen-
eration. “My granddadhad a stamp collection,and my dad started mecollecting when I was 4years old,” says Dr. MikeFrancis, president o theclub. “We soaked andsorted stamps together,and as a result I learnedso much geography andhistory at an early age.”
Walters got inter-ested in stamp collect-ing while in the mili-tary in Alaska, ollowedby stints in Japan and
Korea. “Some people col-lect stamps as an invest-ment, but I just do it orun,” says the retired
high-school math teach-er.Collecting stamps
and covers (envelopes o historic value such asthose rom private cor-respondence during theCivil War) can be botha hobby and an invest-ment. That’s where theclub comes in. The Tal-lahassee Stamp andCover Club charges verymodest annual dues
and supports its mem-bers through a monthlymeeting at the Talla-hassee Senior Center.Meetings are held thesecond Tuesday o eachmonth at 7 p.m. andeature a short presen-tation but most impor-tantly, the club providesa orum or hobbyists, achance or trading, andexpert help or novicecollectors. It is the one
place to go or advice onstamps. Sometimes acollection comes to lightonly ater the death o the collector. Then anheir receiving the col-lection becomes keen-ly interested but needsunbiased advice.

Senior resources: grandparents as parentsFacts:n From 1980 to 1990
there was a 44-percentincrease in the numbero children living with
their grandparents.n Today there are
more than 6 millionchildren living in ahousehold headed bygrandparents or otherrelatives.n In Florida, more
than 371,000 childrenlive in households head-ed by grandparents orother relatives.n Approximately 2.4
million children livein households wheregrandparents are theprimary caregivers.n Factors such as
drug and alcohol abuseproblems, neglect,abuse or abandonment,death, unemployment,parental incarceration,AIDS, teenage pregnan-cy, divorce and home-lessness have causedgrandparents and other
kinship caretakers toassume the role o par-ents.n Most grandpar-
ents raising grandchil-dren are overwhelmedand need support. Themajority o grandpar-ents raising grand-children are under 55(but range to age 90),with an average annualincome between $15,000and $25,000.
n Approximately 57percent o grandparentsraising grandchildrenare still working andabout 17 percent are liv-ing in poverty.n About hal o the
grandchildren livingwith a grandparent areyounger than 6.
