German market
to deliver on fun
DOUG CARLSON
TALLAHASSEE SENIOR FOUNDATION
In Germany, Christmas markets are an eagerly anticipated holiday tradition where Gemtlichkeit (winter cheer) is
served up with sizzling
sausages,
gingerbread
and cold glasses (small
boots in some markets)
filled with mulled wine.
The food and drink are
as much the cause for
good cheer as the opportunity to prepare for giftgiving season by shopping
for
handmade
gifts
known for quality craftsmanship. Commercially
produced goods are strictly verboten.
One of the most famous
Christmas markets in
Germany is the Christkindlesmarkt in Nuremberg,
which dates to 1628.
Much closer to home,
the Tallahassee Senior
Centers German Christmas Market & Beer Garden offers the opportunity to find Gemtlichkeit
as close as Monroe Street.
Sponsored by Capital Regional Medical Center, the
inaugural event may not
have the history (yet), but
it has very tasty ingredients.
Friday, Nov. 4, is the
date to circle. Local arts
and crafts vendors will

the top centers for programming, serving Tallahassee and
Leon County seniors.
open at 4 p.m. The Beer

Garden will open at 6:00
p.m. Beer, German food
and a local band are playing outside; locally handmade crafts, sweets and
an art show are inside at
the Senior Center, located
across from Lake Ella on
North Monroe St. Commemorative beer glasses
are available for a small
donation.
Do some Christmas
shopping for unique gifts
from local craftsmen (and
women) ... such as stained
glass, jewelry, ornaments, doll clothes, wood

work, and art. Just a few
of the vendors are: Barefoot Furniture & Custom
Woodworking, Charlottes
Creations,

Glass Creations by Ruth
Nickens, Barbara Psimas,
Artist,
Suncatcher
Stained Glass, Cottage
Creations by Jeanne, Donnies Designs, Tallabred
Farms (Creature Blok),
and Beadazzled.
Instead of mulled wine,

local crafted beers will be
poured from Deep,
Grasslands, Lake Tribe,
and Tally Brewing to
accompany German food
and sweets.
While some German
markets include entertainment from dance
troupes, jugglers and acrobats, Tallahassees German Christmas Market
offers something equally
unique: The Tallahassee
Roller Girls pouring some
of those local beers, and a
surprise
celebrity
guest.
The event will raise
funds to support Senior
Center programming, enjoyed by an average of
5,000 people every month.
It also will create momentum and kick off Deck
the Halls the Senior
Foundations largest annual fundraiser, to be held
Friday, Dec. 2. Tickets

Athletes can see and be seen

at Capital City Senior Games
NICK GANDY
FLORIDA SPORTS FOUNDATION
By the time the Capital

City
Senior
Games
reaches its 10th Anniversary in 2019, it will be a
place for Tallahassee senior athletes to see and be
seen and you never know
who you will run into at
the Games.
In 2016, the Seventh
Annual Capital City Senior Games, tennis athletes
may have noticed former
Leon County Commissioner Cliff Thaell, on the
other side of the net. Table
Tennis players may not
have realized the lady on
the other side of the table
was Dr. Billie Jones, a former coach and educator
at Florida State University, who led the way for
the very successful womens athletics program to
its current status.
During his time as a Leon County Commissioner,
Thaell and his fellow commissioners oversaw the
construction and opening
of the Chaires Community Park which featured
two tennis courts. He
found himself hitting
balls at one of the county
parks and it reignited a
spark for the game that he
began playing as a teenager living in Lake Placid,
New York.
I played tennis regu-

larly through my 20s,

Thaell said. But then
marriage and family took
precedence. Thats a sentiment voiced by many
current Florida Senior
Games athletes.
Capital City Senior
Games athletes playing
against Thaell and his
partner John Falls in the
65-69 age group, may

have also noticed his unorthodox method of service.
As a 2 year old in the late
1940s, Thaell contracted
polio, leaving his left arm
and leg paralyzed.
I was the original
poster child in the U.S. for
the March of Dimes, he
said. The organization
paid for my rehabilitation

and I regained the use of
my left leg, but only have
limited use of my left
arm.
On the courts, Thaell
balances the tennis ball on
his racquet with his fullyfunctional right arm, flips
it up in the air and delivers
his serve across the net.
Ive been told by my

opponents Ive got a pretty mean serve, he proudly proclaimed.
His tennis skills complimented his time as a
Leon County Commissioner. The competitiveness of the game carried
over into his campaigning
efforts during his time on
the commission from
2000-2010.
Im a good sport, said
Thaell, who plays on the
3.5 level of competition.
But dont get me wrong, I
like to win but I try to do
better every time I play.
Focus is a very important
part of the game and
knowing how to position
your feet. Tennis is a really good game for seniors
to stay mentally sharp.
Having coached student athletes at Florida
State University in the
early days of the womens
athletics program, Dr. Billie Jones knows quite a bit
about staying mentally
sharp on the field of play.
I needed to be active,
said Dr. Jones. I had not
played table tennis in 40
years but started playing
again after Christmas last
year.
Prior to coming to FSU
in the early 1970s, she was
a faculty member at Oklahoma State University
where she played table
tennis with her teaching
peers to ease the stress of
being a college professor.

Now living at Westminster Oaks in Tallahassee,
Jones originally had no intent of playing competitively and just saw the opportunity as a chance to
be playing the game again
a couple of times a week.
Seems the folks at
Westminster Oaks had
other ideas for Jones and
a handful of other residents who played regularly.
The leader of the table
tennis group actually entered me in the Games
and Westminster Oaks
provided a bus to take us
to the facility on the day of
the competition, she
said.
To prepare for the Capital City Senior Games,
Jones enlisted the help of
another former coaching
legend at Florida State, in
Joanne Graf, the softball
coach at FSU from 1983
2007 who amassed 1,800
career wins.
She comes and plays
with me a couple of times
a week, Jones said. She
has the age advantage but
I have the experience advantage.
Tallahassees
sports
and recreation programs
at
various
locations
around town are providing opportunities at a
community level. Once
the senior athletes get involved in a sport, the Capital City Senior Games
provides another outlet
for them to assist them in
reaching their personal
best.
You just never know
who youll run into at a
Capital
City
Senior
Games event. It could be
any variety of folks living
their lives in Floridas
Capital City, looking for
an opportunity to see and
be seen.

SENIOR SERVICES ADVISORY COUNCIL
Tuesday afternoons at
the TSC are hopping! As
you approach the auditorium, you will likely hear
ping-pong balls fly and
mah jongg tiles click.
Players on both sides of
the room coexist as they
play their games with passion and enjoyment.
The mah jongg program at the Senior Center
started about five years
ago. Two sets were purchased to start, people
were invited to play and
many learned the game
from scratch.
Mah Jongg has been
played in Asia for centuries. The Western version
that is played at the Senior
Center came to the United

States in the 1920s and has
been developed and governed by the National
Mah Jongg League based
in New York. Both games
are played with tiles with
a goal of making a Mah
Jongg hand. The major
difference is that in the
Asian game the hands are
similar to those in gin
rummy. The game is
much faster and gambling can be an important

element. At the Senior
Center we not do bet in
any way or count points;
we are just happy to make
a mah jongg.
In the Western game,
hands are prescribed by
the National Mah Jongg
League that are published
on a card on April 1 of each
year. The cards cost $8.00.
Followers of both versions are passionate about

their games and have fun.
The game involves strategy and luck of the draw
and is enjoyable and addictive.
If you are looking for a
fun and challenging way
to spend your Tuesday afternoons, come by the auditorium at 2 p.m. If you
dont know how to play, we
will teach you. Jill Sandler
and Gigi Douglas do most
of the teaching and will
stick with you until you
are ready for a game. If
you know how to play and
are looking for a laid back
and friendly game, come
join us. We will happily
loan you a League card until you can get your own
and have sets as well.

SENIOR FITNESS AND RECREATION RESOURCES

FACTS
Seniors who exercise reduce their chances of fallrelated broken bones by 61
percent. Theyre also less
likely to end up in the hospital due to a fall. Thats reassuring news because the CDC
reports that nearly 700,000
seniors who suffer nonfatal,
fall-related injuries are hospitalized annually.
Strength-training exercises
have the potential to make a
profound difference in a
senior's physical, mental, and
emotional health. It can help
both male and female older
adults, at all fitness levels,
reach toward greater
strength and vitality and
maintain independence.
A recent study by the
American Heart Association
found that older, non-disabled people who regularly
engaged in physical activity
reduced their risk of vascularrelated dementia by 40
percent and cognitive impairment from any cause by 60
percent.

Bowling is always fun
especially when a
percentage of the proceeds benefit the Tallahassee Senior Center!
Thanks to the Visiting

summer filled with fun
and generosity!
During Eat, Drink

enjoy great food and we
thank the following restaurants that donated
10% of their days proceeds: Krispy Kreme at
1900 E. Park Ave. & 2590

6806 Thomasville Road,
Wahoo Seafood Grill,

Two beach house stays
were generously raffled
off, thanks to Two Palms

call (850) 229-5421). Two
lucky winners received

Please show your
