ACTIVE LIVING TALLAHASSEE DEMOCRAT SUNDAY, JANUARY11, 2015 3

Lifelong Learning Extrava-ganza (L3X) hosted by the Talla-hassee Senior Center moves toApril this year. The popular

event attracts hundreds of peo-ple to a week-long series ofclasses. Mark your calendar!April 6-10 will find a plethora oflearning opportunity and L3Xleads up to The Word of theSouth Festival to be held at Cas-cades Park April 10-12.

Were excited about the op-portunity to offer L3X in con-nection with the first Word of

South said Chuck Lee, L3X co-ordinator. Word of the Southfeatures nationally known au-thors and musicians, while L3X

highlights many of our locallytalented writers, musicians,and other members of the cul-tural arts community. We thinkscheduling L3X in front of Wordof the South will give currentresidents a great experience aswell as entice out-of-town par-ticipation in both events.

Foy and Chet Winsor partici-pated in a number of L3X class-

es last fall. Were relativelynew Tallahassee residents, Foysaid, and this was a great op-portunity for us to experience

so many different aspects of thecommunity and to meet differ-ent people. We found that par-ticipating in these classes al-lowed us to get into places andsee things we wouldnt be ableto do on our own. We were awedby the interesting history andrich traditions this communityhas. For example, the boatcruise down the river and into

Gulf was not just a relaxing lei-sure cruise. We learned allabout local history and the eco-system. The captain was very

informative. Were definitelylooking forward to this yearsevent and were going to bethere early to sign up.

According to Lee, L3X willoffer approximately 45 afford-able classes at different sitesthroughout the greater Talla-hassee area. Some class propos-als have already been received.

Others who wish to submit aclass proposal should contactLee at 891-4018 or [email protected]. Deadline

for proposals is January 16.All classes will be unveiled at

the L3X Early Bird registrationto be held at the TallahasseeSenior Center, Monday, March2, from 8 to 9:30 a.m., and Tues-day, March 3, from 6 to 7:30 p.m.

For more information, call891-4018.

2015s Lifelong Learning Extravaganza - L3X

Jill Sandler and niece Sarah Boland find this years Deck the Halls benefit holiday affair a great place to kick off thewinter season.

TheSenior Advisory Council member also actively participates in TSCs many activities and especially looks forward tothis springs Lifelong Learning Extravaganza (L3X) exclaiming, L3X is one of the best learning experiences ever!

We all recognize that music affects ourmood, but did you know it works on manylevels to improve our overall health, and can

actually slow or prevent many health prob-lems associated with aging? New studiesshow evidence that Music Therapy can re-duce stress hormones, promote sleep, im-prove memory, and even help prevent falls,one of the leading causes of death among theelderly.

Southside Senior Services brought musictherapy to the Jake Gaither CommunityCenter for its December Senior Day. LornaSegall, Music Therapy doctoral studentfrom FSU, performed with her guitar andled the group in Christmas carols. Eachparticipant received a songbook and joined

in the sing-along. Many of the traditionalholiday songs triggered Christmas memo-

ries which participants shared during thepresentation.

According to the American Music Thera-py Association, music is an extremely pow-erful tool of expression and creativity. It is

used as a helpful element to provide healing,comfort and relaxation and is especiallybeneficial to those experiencing lonelinesssocial isolation. Although everyone can ben-efit from music therapy, patients with Alz-heimers and other forms of dementia havebeen shown to respond significantly.

Though its now scientifically recognizedthat music is indeed medicine for the bodyand soul, those of us attending Senior Dayjust know we found our spirits lifted whilewe listened and sang songs of the seasonalong with Lorna Segall. After the perfor-mance, guests enjoyed a complete holiday

meal. Join us in February 2015 and enjoy thefirst Senior Day of the year with us.

Have you made a new yearsresolution to get more exercise?If you also want to have fundoing it, try one of the manyclasses offered by Leon CountySenior Outreach, available atcommunity centers in Brad-fordville, Chaires, Fort Braden,Lake Jackson, Miccosukee, andWoodville. The classes are de-signed for seniors and take intoaccount each students physicalabilities and limitations.

Peggy McCune has partici-pated in Bradfordville classesfor the last eight years. Shesays, What I love about theprogram are the small groupsize and leadership by a knowl-edgeable instructor. I am a for-mer physical education instruc-tor, so I know the vital impor-tance of exercise. I am also theoldest senior in my group andIve had just about everythingyou can get at my age, but I stillgo to exercise twice a week

because I feel safe there.I just cant do without it,

says Carolyn Adams of her classin Woodville. If I dont attendregularly, my balance goes, Iget stiff, and its harder for meto do everything I do. The classalso motivates her to keep at it.Lets face it, I wouldnt exer-cise on my own, she says.

Another benefit is the fun ofgroup exercise and the friend-ships that develop. Bob Pelo-quin, a veteran of classes in Fort

Braden and Bradfordville, says,I have developed some nicefriendships, I feel comfortablethat the exercise is appropriatefor my abilities. I love the varie-ty, and most importantly I lovethe camaraderie.

Mike Kosturko and wife Peg

Stevens, together with daughterSarah Kosturko, found their tripto Italy to be amazing in somany ways the sounds, sights,and people (and lets not forgetfood!). For Sarah, a definitehighlight was celebrating her32nd birthday in Venice. Mikeslikes? Florence and Venicewere my favorites, and headds, We did a lot of urbanhiking!

On the Collette Vacationsbenefit adventure, Mike became

President Mike and his heightmade him the perfect candidateto herd the group from behind.As they toured the Coliseumwith guide Dr. Frederico Pel-legrini, two fellow travelersplayed out gladiator and wild

animal games under Dr. Ps

direction.After their Italian adventure,

Mike emailed Dr. P to tell him,our trip to your amazing Italyis now a sweet memory. I was inawe by the artistry and majestyof the buildings and sculpturesin Florence. We walked aboutthat city for hours in the rain wet, tired but filled with somany satisfying moments. Ven-ice was a delight and a specialtreat for Sarahour hikesthrough Venice brought us clos-

er to a few local people whowere most accommodating andas willing to get to know us aswe were to know themit wasan enriching experience in somany ways.

Dr. Pellegrini replied, I hope

that youll be able to come back

to Italy soon to conquer Rome-discovering other parts of thisunique City which I love somuch.

Mikes response to Dr. P?So now we are back in ourspaces but ready to conquerthe laundry, shopping, bill pay-ing and all the other tasks thatmake up a part of life.

Better Hearing Brings Smiles!

.

With the assistance ofAudiology Associates, theTallahassee Senior Center

now offers a hearing loopin the buildings main audi-torium. An induction loopor hearing loop can fur-ther improve speech un-derstanding for those whowear hearing aids or cochle-ar implants.

As part of communityoutreach, Audiology Asso-ciates is participating in anational educational cam-paign to increase awarenessabout assistive listening

technologies. The project is acollaborative public aware-ness campaign developed bythe Hearing Loss Associationof America (HLAA) and theAmerican Academy of Audi-ology.

To experience the im-proved hearing offered bythe loop listeners must

turn their hearing aids to theT-coil setting. Access http://bit.ly/1gjm5oF to read about

the T-coil, which is the com-ponent in a hearing aid thatallows it to receive the elec-tro-magnetic signal emittedby the loop. To hear thesound with better clarity, aperson must have a t-coil intheir hearing aid or cochlearimplant (almost all soldtoday do) and it must beactivated by an audiologist.Users should learn how toturn on the program settingin their aids.

Persons who do not wearhearing aids or cochlearimplants can use the hearingloop through the use of aportable receiver.

We invite you to experi-ence the loop at TSC. Checkour event calendar online attalgov.com/seniors. The verynext time you come a work-

shop, dance or special event/performance at the center(with your T-coil turned on),

youll notice the differencein our sound!

For many Capital City resi-dents, that New Years resolu-tion thing about being moreactive is so 1980s. However,there are a number of localresidents fine tuning theirskills and putting finishingtouches on their training pro-gram for the sixth annual Cap-ital City Senior Games takingplace March 10-16, 2015.

The Games give hundredsof local and regional athletes,50 years and older, the oppor-

tunity to compete in 13 differ-ent sports at venues aroundTallahassee. It is also a qualify-ing event for Floridas Interna-tional Senior Games and StateChampionships. The week-longevent attracts competitorsfrom other towns as well asfamilies of local competitors.

The event, supported by theLeon County Division of Tour-ism Development, is hosted byCity of Tallahassee Parks,Recreation and Neighborhood

Affairs. The two governmententities work together in bring-ing a number of high profileathletic events to the area thatplay a significant role in thecountys tourism industry andeconomy. Last year, more than49,000 visitors came to thecounty for team sporting andtraining events that generatedmore than $14.4 million in di-rect spending.

With more than 300 compet-itors, the Capital City Senior

Games has doubled in size inrecent years. For many, theGames are just an outlet forremaining active in a varietyof sports ranging from archeryto bowling, golf and horseshoesto track and field. For otherswith a keener, more compet-itive nature, the Games are thefirst step in qualifying for thestate championship and ulti-mately moving on to nationalcompetition.

Ashley Edwards, Director

of Tallahassee Parks, Recrea-tion and Neighborhood Affairsgets excited when she talksabout the opportunities for

participation with the seniorgames. From athletes whocompete, to volunteers sup-porting the Gameseveryone

can contribute, says Edwardswith cheerleader enthusiasm.We are so privileged to live ina community that works to-gether for people of manyinterests. Hosting the Games isa true team effort involvingmany of our citys communitycenters, the Senior Center,Parks and Recreation staff, aswell as several other communi-ty venues and partnerships,Edwards adds.

And much like the athletes,

Tallahassees PRNA and thecountys Division of TourismDevelopment also view theCapital City Senior Games as astep toward something bigger.The two groups will submit abid in early 2015 to host Flori-das International SeniorGames and State Champion-ships in 2017-18.

Hosting these events pro-vides economic benefit to ourcounty but also showcases ourcommunity as a beautiful,

active place to visit and live,Lee Daniel, executive directorof Leon County Division ofTourism Development, said.The goal of attracting thestate championship would betremendous for economic de-velopment through tourismand would bring over 2000athletes and their families toTallahassee to enjoy all thatour destination offers.

Pickleball is alive and wellin Floridas Capital City and agroup of local players ven-tured south to test their skillsat the 2014 Florida Interna-tional Senior Games & StateChampionships. A sport on theState Championships rostersince 2003, only in the last

couple of years has Pickleballbecome a favorite among Tal-lahassees senior athlete com-munity.

I play softball with folksfrom The Villages and theytold me, Once you play Pickle-ball, youll never want to playanother sport. said ZippyWartenburg, one of the localathletes to take the court atthe Estero Recreation Center,Dec. 12-14. They just may beright because I love the game

now.More than 33 hours of Pick-leball was played at the 2014State Championships on ninecourts, in Singles, Mens andWomens Doubles and MixedDoubles. It was an eye open-ing experience for the Talla-hassee contingent who playthe game on a recreationallevel at the Tallahassee SeniorCenter, Jack McLean Park,Lafayette Parks Sue McCol-lum Center and Premier Fit-

ness.We saw some good play-

ers, said Judy Lyle, whoteamed with Larae Donnellanto win a womens doubles sil-ver medal in the 60-64 agegroup. I purposely sought outto watch some of the olderplayers in their 70s out com-peting and playing hard. Itsvery motivating.

Lyle and Donnallan took thetough road to their silver med-al dropping a set in the open-

ing round and having to fightthrough three eliminationmatches before the champi-onship match.

Donnellan also won a gold

medal in womens singles de-feating the only other partici-pant in her 65-69 age group,Avis Vaught, of The Villagesin two games. Vaught is a for-

mer Florida State Universitytrack and field athlete whocompetes in several differentFlorida Senior Games events.

Other players hitting the

courts were Chuck Finkel,Charles Giblon, RodneyHouck, Kenneth Loewe andZippy Wartenburg.

Butlers come up short

The Butler family, the firstmother, father and child trio tocompete together in the 23

years of the State Champi-onships, also brought their Agame to the 2014 Games in aneffort to qualify for the Na-tional Senior Games as a fam-ily, but came up short.

Sam, who was set to com-pete in womens singles bowl-ing, injured her knee in a pre-game warmup and made ev-ery effort to compete. Afterbowling the first of threegames, she realized her injurywas too much to overcome.

Pete, Sr. has seen betterdays on the golf course andwill see even better days inthe future, but his qualifyingeffort was not met. Pete, Jr.,

however, made the trip to FortMyers a success as he earnedsilver and bronze medals inthe Cycling 5K and 10K TimeTrials and 20K and 40K Road

Races, in the very competitive50-54 age group. He trainedreally hard to accomplishwhat he did, said Pete, Sr.We took a family trip to Bran-son, Missouri, recently and allhe did was ride and train up inthe mountains.

Swimmer wins gold

One of Tallahassees pre-mier swimmers, BarbaraGoltz, turned in another fine

performance at the Fort My-ers Aquatic Center, winningfour gold and two silver med-als in the 65-69 age group.

She won gold medals in the200 and 500 yard freestyle andthe 200 breaststroke and 100backstroke. Her silver medalscame in the 100 breast and 100freestyle.

Winning gold medals in theshot put and discus throws atthe Track and Field meet atSouth Fort Myers High School

was Ivan Maldonado, in the50-54 age group. His shot putof 37 feet, 11 inches and discusthrow of 117 feet, seven incheswere among the top five of allmens results.

Maldonado was competingin his first Florida SeniorGames competition and is theDirector of Tallahassees StarMetro Transit System.

FITNESS FACTS

By 2020 half of all Americans over50 will have weak bones unless wemake changes to our diet and life-style.

Regular exercise can partially

overcome or significantly delay lossof muscle mass and strength. Partici-pation in regular strength-trainingexercises is considered essential tostaying strong and vital in one'ssenior years.

A recent study by the AmericanHeart Association found that older,non-disabled people who regularlyengaged in physical activity reducedtheir risk of vascular-related de-mentia by 40 percent and cognitiveimpairment from any cause by 60

percent. Getting regular exercise, stayingengaged with friends and familyand abstaining from smoking wereall associated with longer life in astudy that followed people in theirmid-70s and older for close to twodecades. Physical activity was thesingle biggest predictor of longevityin the study.
