‘Misty Buffalo’ by Robert

Westwood is artist’s favorite

Robert Westwood starteddrawing at the SeniorCenter eight years ago. Twoyears ago he developed anew twist— buildingthree-dimensional levels.Closer to his heart is hispainting displayed in thefirst floor lobbythatfeatures a sculpture madeby his mother, Vera Gentry.When she moved here fromChickasha, Okla., she joinedCapital Carvers (a groupthat meets at TSC). Thebuffalo carving is one ofRobert’s favorites and hispainting creates a settingaround it in tribute to hismother.

Patty Parkhurst, 81

“I like leadershiproles,” says Patty Park-hurst matter-of-factly.The petite dynamothrivesoncustomer inter-action and satisfaction.

She is chair of the Talla-hassee Senior Advisorycouncil, created the Talla-hassee Senior Center’sgreeter program, andchampions lifelong learn-ing for seniors. She bub-bles with enthusiasm, andchattingwith her for evenjust a fewminutes bright-ens any day.

This Minnesota nativehas a long list of impres-sive accomplishments,but what people immedi-ately notice most abouther is not her accomplish-ments, but her love forothers. In 1955 she fell inlove with a Florida boyand ended up moving toFort Lauderdale. Thereshe began working withthe Children’sHomeSoci-ety (CHS), an organiza-tion that advocates foradoption, as a volunteercoordinator and took hercommitmentevenfurtherwhen she adopted a sonand daughter throughCHS.

In 1975 she movedfrom Fort Lauderdale to

Tallahassee, working inGov.BobGraham’sOfficeof Policy and Budget.Even though she workedin theOffice of Policy andBudget, Parkhurst saidthat she was always thepeople person — not thenumbers person.

She’s found that every-one has a story and ittakes her little time to getto the adventurous part ofthe conversation. Her en-ergy is contagious tothose with whom shespeaks. She’s a testamentto positive aging. Volun-teering is a career forParkhurst.

She’s volunteered atWFSU radio station as afundraiser, serves as anofficer with the Chil-dren’s Home Society inTallahassee, and foundher true niche at the Sen-iorCenter. “All the years Iworked, and all my volun-teer experience, it justcomes togetherat thecen-ter,” saidParkhurst. “Thisplace engages people.”

WhenJoannie firstmetBritt, he was on the greenatAlleghenyCollegeplay-ing guitar for everyonewhowould listen.Shepaidlittle attention to him buthe definitely took noticeof her. He later asked herdancing and, after a littleconvincing, she agreed.Britt graduated from Al-legheny College and de-cided to join the armywhile Joannie finishedher degree. Joannie wenton to teach school in Con-necticut. They marriedwhen Britt returned.

The Poulsons spenttime teaching inWashing-ton, D.C., and latermovedback to Pennsylvania torear their three boys. InPennsylvania, Britt be-came a principal in FoxChapel where he stayedfor many years. In 1971,the Poulsons moved toTallahassee so Britt couldteachatFloridaStateUni-versity. Joannie stayed

active and involved too.She became the executivesecretary of the FloridaAdult Education Associa-tion and helped organizeconferences for morethan a decade.

In1990, Joanniewasdi-agnosed with breast can-cer and joined the Ameri-can Cancer Society’sReach to Recovery pro-gram. There, and withBritt always at her side,she found the help andsupport she needed toovercome. She now usesher story to help others.

Both stayactiveand in-volved in a variety of dif-ferent ways. Joannie vol-unteers at TallahasseeMemorial Healthcare andthe couple stays involved

at St. Paul’s United Meth-odist; Britt remains veryinvolved in education. Heis frequently a judge forlocal spelling bees, histo-ry fairs and science fairs.He also is part of a groupthat does re-enactmentsof historical figures andoften dresses up as thefamousJohnWesley.Brittis also former presidentof theFacultyandFriendsof FSU, a club that allowspeople to share their ex-periences together.

“I’ve always feltstrongly that we need togive back because peoplehave always been so gen-erous to us,” said Joannie.“We strive to leave thisworld a better place thanwe found it.”

Mattie Mobley, 99: Secret to positive aging is “live quite,work hard and get to bed early.”

Busy women in pastelaprons scurry in and outof the building in late af-ternoon. Soft music poursgently from the polishedpiano. Beautiful treats ontiered platters cover thetabletop. And then it’s TeaTime. At exactly 3:30 p.m.every Tuesday, since July2009, Tuesday Tea Timehas been a greatly antici-pated and much appreci-ated weekly event at BigBend Hospice’s MargaretZ. Dozier Hospice House.Familymembers, visitorsand any patients who areable to take part gatherand enjoy sweets, savorysandwiches and snacks,iced tea and hot tea, allpresented in lovelyand in-viting displays.

Initially created to en-hance the services of theMargaret Z. Dozier Hos-pice House through com-munity outreach,TuesdayTea Time was publicizedin local news articleswhichaskedfordonationsof teapotsandteacupsandinvited community mem-bers to takepartasbakersor servers. Within a cou-ple of weeks there were awide array of decorativeteapots displayed, andseveral Tea Time teamshad formed, each dedicat-ed to cooking and servingonce a month.

And then came themu-sic. Localmusicians cameforward to play the pianoduring Tea Time, to playclassical guitar or flute orcello or hammer dulci-mer. One connection ledto another and soon a se-ries of Florida State Uni-versity music studentswere rotating through onTea Time Tuesdays, pro-viding soothing sounds toaccompany the voices ofcomforting conversationsamong Hospice Housevisitors, volunteers andstaff members. For awhile a 92-year-oldpianistshared her repertoire ofbeloved standards fromthe ‘30s and ’40s.

One of the earliest TeaTime volunteers was DeeHansen, a patient-familyvolunteer who visitedHospice House patientson Tuesdays and saw howmuch joy flowed throughthe building on those spe-cial afternoons. She start-ed bringing baked treatsand then quickly evolvedas a leader.

By 2011 Dee hadagreed to serve as Volun-teer Tea Time Coordina-tor. After a time of strug-gling to maintain weeklycoverage and the highquality all had become ac-customed to, Dee askedfor help from the Volun-teer Department inrecruiting more serversand cooks. A mass plea toall Big Bend Hospice vol-unteers yielded a largeroster of willing partici-pants, so that the work-load is shared amongBBH volunteers, BBHstaff and community

members. Over the yearsmore than 30 individualshave prepared treats and/or served Tea Timeguests.

Dee and the others arediligent in providing dif-ferent types of foods tomaintain balance (evenusingafewWeightWatch-er-friendly recipes sincethe agency has started aWW group), and bring inseasonal themes to keep itspecial week after week.Valentine napkins, sham-rock cookies, Easter bas-kets and Mardi Grasbeads have all graced theTea Time table. If it isn’tbeautiful as well as deli-cious, Tea Time is not spe-cial enough for those whobring this weekly gift tothe patients and families,and to the Big Bend Hos-pice staff. Dee and theothers shecoordinatesdo-nate everything theycook, aswell as all decora-tions and table ware. If

not for their generositywe, and other hospicesour size, would probablynot be able to sustain thecost of this specialweeklyprogram.

Most patients who arein the Hospice House areexperiencing acute medi-cal needs or are rapidlyapproaching death, andtheir familymembersandfriends are stressed, tiredand emotional. Tea Timeevery Tuesday afternoonprovides a chance forthem to pause, take abreath andabreak from itall. It is a collaborativegift that cannot be givenby the clinical staff mem-bers who focus all theirtime and attention on di-rect patient and familycare. “Much more thanthe tea and coffee andsnacks, it’s a time for pa-tients’ families, and somepatients, to step awayfrom the process of dyingand get back into activ-

ities of living,” says TinuAgboola, Manager of 24-Hour Services. “They so-cializewith other familieswhoaregoing through thesame thing and they sup-port each other.”

In the midst of death,TeaTimebrings life to thepatients and their fam-iliesandstaffmembers.Asimple act of kindness,like presenting a plate ofpretty goodies and a cupof hot tea to a worriedfamily member, can givethem the boost they needto go back into their lovedone’s room and continuefacing the tough emo-tions.

Hospice House staffand other Big Bend Hos-pice staff members alsolook forward with eager-ness to Tuesday after-noons and the respite theyfind at Tea Time. An unin-tended consequence,which other hospice pro-grams may also enjoy if

establishing this tradi-tion, has been increasedbonding among HospiceHouse staff, field staffand administrative staffmembers. All come to-getherwithsmilesaroundthe Tea Time table.

“The workers stepaway from the hustle andbustle and are able to re-lax and socialize, if onlyfor a brief moment,” saysManager Tinu Agboola.“When they walk back totheir jobs, they are reju-venated. Tea Time notonly feeds the body, itfeeds the soul.”

And Tea Time actuallyprovided the motivationfor one Southern lady toagree to Hospice Housecare for her loved one.Unfamiliar with the facil-ity shewas reluctant untilshe heard therewas a but-terfly garden on thegrounds and a weekly TeaTime. That’s the power ofpeople working together— smiling people with aplate of goodies, a bit ofmusic and a spot of tea.

Big Bend Hospice hasbeen serving our commu-nity since 1983 with com-passionate end- of- lifecare along with grief andloss counselors availableto provide informationand support to anyone inLeon, Jefferson, Taylor,Madison, Gadsden, Liber-ty, Franklin or Wakullacounty.

TheTallahasseeParks,Rec-reation, & Neighborhood Af-fairs Department recentlyhosted the 4th annual CapitalCitySeniorGames.Thegameswereheldat13venuesandtookplace over the course of sevendays, starting with a RoadRace5Kandendingwithan18-hole golf tournament. Thisyear, the Capital City SeniorGames saw a record-high 217participants whose agesranged from 50 to 88. CindyMead,PRNAgamesorganizer,exclaimed, “I am so excitedabout the increasing numberof athletes registered eachyear!”

Athletesof all abilities, nov-ice to expert, competed on thesame stage. Each game is bro-ken into five-year age divi-sionswith no limit on the num-ber of games inwhich a seniorcan compete. This allowedmore seniors the opportunitytomedal invariouseventsand,as a result, 266 gold medalsnowadorn our champions’ tro-phywalls and cabinets.

Golf, track & field, bowlingand table tennis proved im-mensely popular events. For-ty-five golfers entered thisyear’s completion held atHila-manGolfCourse.AthleteDen-nis Culligan, at age 53, shot +3,75,onthecoursetoregistertheevent’s best score. Pickelballalso experienced a hugegrowth in participation overprevious games. The gamewith the funny name, (a crossbetween tennis and badmin-ton, played with a whiffle balland apaddle on a lowerednet),enjoyed an increase from twoparticipants last year to 21thisyear. The pickleball contin-gent showed up with raving,contagious enthusiasm at theopening ceremony! One of the

best rewards of orchestratingthegamesandmakingsureev-erything runs smoothly, ac-cording to Mead, “is watchingall theathletes enjoy the funofcompetition. “

Many of the sports con-tained different event catego-ries. Track and field, for in-stance, offered the javelinthrow and a 400m run, amongother events. Athlete CarlMaus, an eight sport athlete,competed in the javelin throwthough never seeing a javelinbefore.Whenaskedwhy,here-sponded, “When am I ever go-ing to have a chance to throwajavelin in my life.” This atti-tude was the force that keptthegames strongand thriving.Other notable athletes, whocompeted in more than tenevents, included Bob Keller,Terry Presnell, YvonneGsteiger,JocelynLowthel,andBarneyMyers.

Mead is quick to credit andgive accolades to the entirePRNAteamthatworkedsodil-igently to ensure success ofgames and now that planningisunderwayforthe2014event,Mead says, “I’m hopeful thatwewill break the 300mark forour 5th Annual Capital CitySenior Games next year.”
