The Kochmer Family donated a substantial piece of bluestone for the monument. Butch Coleman of Susquehanna cut out firefighters on the monu-ment. He said it will be put on display after the picnic and will be located in front of the flagpole. “It should be a desti-nation spot,” he said.

Seniors shouldPump IronFor health

Most people know that strength training such as lifting weights or doing pushups is good for you but new research indicates that for people 65 and older it may help you live longer. In fact it can lower your risk of dying from any cause by almost half.

Strength training should be done at least twice a week and should include muscle-strength-ening activities for the legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest shoulders and arms.

There are safe exercises for ev-eryone such as pushups, abdom-inal crunches and leg squats. In-expensive elastic bands or tubes, purchased in many stores or on-line, can provide resistance when stretched and can be used to strengthen all muscle groups.

Two or three exercise sessions a week for 20 to 30 minutes are enough for most people. Older adults can double their strength in just 12 weeks.

Seniors also should participate in moderate-intensity aerobic ac-tivity like brisk walking for 150 minutes a week. That’s 30 min-utes a day, five days a week. If you can jog or run, guidelines suggest 75 minutes a week.

Consider going to a gym if there is one nearby or do it at home. Older adults have the ability to achieve strength simi-lar to people decades younger by engaging in simple strength training routines.
