According to the latest census, thereare more than 2,000 households in LeonCounty headed by grandparents, manyof which have no parent present. Andthat demographic is growingeveryyear.As an alternative to foster care, grand-parents often take on the role of primarycaregiver, either temporarily or perma-nently, to fill the gap created by family

circumstancessuch as death or ill-ness, abandonmentor neglect, teenpregnancy, incar-

ceration,mental illness,orchangingeco-nomic factors.

Many grandparents willingly take onthe role of primary caregiver to keeptheir families together, but it still canmean a completely different lifestyle. Itis not the retirement that many hadplanned and can be socially isolating. Itcanalsobedifficult to find thenecessaryresources. TheGrandparents as Parents(GaP)program isdesigned tomeet theseneeds.Theprogramprovidescamarade-rie for custodial grandparents and con-nects them to services they may need.

GaP grandparent, Suzanne Parke, en-joys coming to GaP meetings to gatherinformation on community activitiesand resources, but mostly she attendsfor the socialization. “It feels so good toknow that there are others out there inthesamesituationof raising theirgrand-children, and can understand whatyou’re going through.”

GaP is a program of the TallahasseeSenior Foundation funded by the LeonCounty Commission and United Health-care. The program includes monthlysupport luncheons, educational semi-nars, family socials, legal services,

health screenings, advocacy and infor-mation and referral for custodial grand-parents and other relative caregivers.For more information, call Karen Boeb-inger at 891-4027 or email at [email protected].

I first learned of theSeacrest Wolf Preservefrom a flyer stuck in aChipley (Florida) hard-ware store window. Thepamphlet promised “wolfencounters” and “an un-forgettable experience.”My husband and I wereinstantly curious butsince the family dog wasalong for this ride, we de-cided tovisit thepreserveon our next jaunt to thearea.

So last January we in-vited several familymembers to join us at thesanctuary. My expecta-tion hovered between “Ihope they like it” and“how soon can we leave ifthey don’t?” After all, itwas in the middle of no-where. I secretly thoughtthey might have threewolves in a pen that we’dstare at for a while, buy aT-shirt and go home. Butthe flyer promised thelargest wolf preserve in

the southeastern U.S. andwe had a full day to fill.Not one of us was pre-pared for the adventureahead.

Visiting the SeacrestWolf Preserve near Chi-pley provides a new look

at one of nature’s wildcreatures. Before anyoneenters the wolf habitat,owner Wayne Watkinsgathers folks up in a cir-cle and provides an inter-esting overview of thewolf and its struggle tomaintain a place in ourecosystem. He talksmainly about the graywolf, punctuating hispresentation with factsand numbers. He ex-plains that the mission ofthe sanctuary is “preser-vation through educa-tion.”

The plight of this en-dangered species is nowon everyone’s mind asthey enter the first enclo-sure where wolves roamfreely among the trees —and their guests. Tourleaders are quick to warnto us that the wolves arevery curious and social.Gray wolves seem to ap-pear from different cor-

ners of the area. Theycome nearer as volun-teers offer them bits ofwhat looks like a foodpaste. Wolves — waymore than three — be-come very personal andwander among somewhatanxious visitors. Theydisplay their inquisitivenature and exhibit a play-ful energy. Soon wolvescome nose-to-nose withhumans, much to the de-light of children andadults alike.

I sit on the ground andwatch my granddaughtersmile when she’s greetedby a 2-year-old preserveresident. A few minuteslater, she’s turning quick-ly to see one of the graystugging playfully withthe top of her boot. Ourtour leader walks andtalks about the wolf fam-ilies here. Kids ask ques-tionswith non-stop enthu-siasm and inquisitive-

ness. I hear children gaspin awe when one of Kio-wa’s pack licks theirhand.

The terrain dips and alake comes into view. Asweget closer to thewater,the wolves gather as if oncue for a photo. However,the only cameras allowedwithin the enclosures aredisposables and I’m notequipped, but wishing Iwere. Walking a bit fur-ther, I find myselfperched on a log to listento wolves howl. All of asudden, I feel a tongue onmy cheek. Kissed by awolf! I’m an animal loverand this goes to the top ofmy list ofwildlife encoun-ters. Yes, I know thesewolves are handled to bepeople-friendly but it’sstill awesome.

Moving on, we meetthe “Brat Pack” of graywolves. Everyone who’sinterested in getting a

photo with these gregari-ous guys can stand in lineand take turns posing solongas thewolvescooper-ate.

And there’s more tosee. Arctic wolves —beautiful in their whitecoats, British Columbianwolves, a small animal ad-venture and a gift shop.Guests can also camp on-site.

Between now and May31, tours begin at 1 p.m.(CST) and last 2 – 4 hours.You’ll want to arrive atleast an hour early to reg-ister.

Many Tallahassee resi-dents and visitors knowhim as the guy who hasbeen serving up seafoodand burgers for years atthe Barnacle Bill’s loca-tion on North MonroeStreet. There’s anothergroup of folks who knowhim as Jeff Stilwell, Sen-ior Games athlete.

Last December, hetraveled to Lakeland tocompete in the Florida In-ternational Senior Games& State ChampionshipsBasketball Shooting andin the past has competedin Track and Field events.In the Basketball Shoot-ing, he hit 23 of 30 freethrows to win a silvermedal in the 55-59 agegroup and also won silvermedals in spot and timedfield goal shooting.

For the 2013 CapitalCity Senior Games, Stil-well will step away fromBarnacle Bill’s to onceagain compete in Basket-ball Shooting andpossiblyfield events of the Trackand Field competition. “Iplayed basketball and didtrack and field eventswhen Iwas young, but thefield events this year alldepends on howmyelbowfeels. I don’t have theknees for running.”

Like many SeniorGames athletes Stilwellcompetes in the Games toachieve athletic goals hesets for himself. He alsoenjoys traveling to com-petitions around Floridato meet fellow athletes inhis age group.

“You compete againstyourself,” Stilwell said.“It’s just like life andbusi-ness and you want to tryand do your best.”

Traveling to SeniorGames locations aroundthe state is an opportunityto take mini-vacations fora weekend.

“It takes you back towhen you were young, es-pecially playing in highschoolwhen you knew theguys playing for the teamon the other side of thecounty and that was theonly time you saw them.”He says. “When I travel toSenior Games competi-tions I get to see people Ionly see at these events. Itreallybroadensyourhori-zons. These are all people

your own age just likeyourself but in differentoccupations and from dif-ferent walks of life.”

He’s traveled south tothe Florida Senior GamesState Championships inFort Myers, the SunshineState Games in Lakelandand local senior games inFort Lauderdale. Onesuch trip turned into a les-son in humility when hetried his hand at swim-ming.

The “loop” sign letsyou know that a businessis equippedwith an induc-tion loop that can helpthose with hearing losshear better in publicplaces. It uses a telecoil,which is small copper coilfound in most hearingaids to wirelessly trans-mit sound directly into aperson’s hearing aids.

For some who wearhearing aids, turning upthe volume is not enoughto improveunderstandingof speech. This can causefrustration for those withhearing loss and causethem to avoid placeswherehearing is difficult.

The beauty of the hear-ing loop – it cuts out back-groundnoiseandcompen-sates for distance fromthe person speaking. Itseamlessly bridges thegap from the soundsource anddelivers it cus-tomized to the person’shearing aid settings. It isespecially helpful incrowded places like audi-toriums, churchsanctuar-ies, and even at airportsand ticket counters, butcan also be used in homes.

Learn more about the“loop” and other technol-ogies at the “HearingAwareness and Technol-ogyEXPO”onMay9from10 a.m. – noon at the Talla-hassee Senior Center. Seea demonstration of howloop technology can beused in the home settingand information abouthow this technology canimprove thequality of life

for those with hearingloss.

This technology hasbeen gaining acceptanceinmany areas of theUnit-ed States thanks to a jointprojectbetweentheHear-ing Loss Association ofAmerica and the Ameri-can Academy of Audiol-ogy.

The two organizationslaunchedanationalpublicawareness campaign,“Get in the HearingLoop,” in 2010 to raiseawarenessabout assistivelistening technologies; es-pecially telecoils andhearing loops.

Locally, Audiology As-sociates of North Florida,a division of Tallahassee,Ear, Nose and Throat hasjoined this campaign tobring awareness to the of-ten invisible handicap ofhearing loss and advocatefor the installation ofhearing loops in publicbuildings in our area.

There will also be tele-phonesfor thehearing im-paired available fromFlorida Telecommunica-tions Relay, Inc. at theTSC presentation.

against myself.”Stilwell does not limit

himself to one sport inSenior Games competi-tions.Duringavisit to theGainesville SeniorGames, he was so im-pressedwith theArcheryvenue at theEastonNew-berry Sports Complex, itgave him thoughts of try-ing it out.

“I also might want totrysomeof thepowerlift-

Just like his menu atBarnacle Bill’s, “Wherethe food is so good itmakes you want to hugsomeone,” Jeff Stilwell’staste in Senior Games
