Can we do this? Exercise twice a week for 10 minutes each time to prevent Alzheimer’s disease? Of course we can.

Researchers examined the records and followed the progress of 250,000 patients who had mild cognitive impairment. They concluded that moderate physical activity more than once a week reduced the risk of Alzheimer’s disease by 18%.

We need to do more for our brain health than work the daily crossword puzzle or brush up on our chess skills. Physical exercise protects the brain, too, per the study. The key is that it should be moderate to vigorous exercise.

School of Public Health, examples of moderate exercise include walking 3-4 mph (a brisk walk while you’re still able to hold a conversation), vacuuming and washing windows, mowing the lawn and doubles tennis. Other sources are more specific: water aerobics for 30 minutes and raking leaves for 30 minutes.

For comparison, examples of light exercise include washing dishes and using a computer.

Vigorous exercises are things like shoveling, singles tennis and playing basketball or soccer.

Having said that, there are more parts of our bodies that need exercise than just our brains. That’s where more time in an activity comes into play. Instead of a mere 10 minutes per day, we’re told to shoot for 150 minutes of exercise per week, or 30 minutes onr five days.

One place to start developing an exercise plan is Mayoclinic. org. Type “moderate exercise” in the search box and scroll down the results until you find something interesting. Among the 600 choices are frequency of workout, using weighted hula hoops, Zumba, secrets to a healthy heart and so much more.

The earlier in life we start exercising for our brains and bodies, the longer we’ll stay healthy as we age.

City of Palm Springs to amend indoor face covering mandate The City of Palm Springs would like to advise the community that it is amending its indoor face covering mandate to create an exemption limited to those services where the removal of a face covering is necessary contingent on patrons demonstrating proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours.

Examples of exempt indoor services include a dentist office, esthetician or salon, where the services would require the removal

of face coverings.

On Thursday, in an effort to keep our community safe amidst growing concerns about the spread of the Delta variant and a surge in local COVID-19 cases, the City Council approved new Citywide COVID-19 safety requirements.

On Aug. 12, 1964, Charlie Wilson, part of the gang who pulled off the 1963 Great Train Robbery, one of the biggest heists of its kind, escapes from the maximumsecurity Winson Green Prison in Birmingham, England. Wilson remained on the loose until 1968.

On Aug. 13, 1878, Kate Bionda, a restaurant owner, dies of yellow fever in Memphis, Tennessee, after a man who had escaped a quarantined steamboat visited her restaurant. The disease spread rapidly, and the resulting epidemic emptied the city. An average of 200 people died each day through September.

On Aug. 14, 1935, President Franklin Roosevelt signs into law the Social Security Act, which guaranteed an income for the unemployed and retirees. The Social Security system has remained relatively unchanged since 1935.

On Aug. 15, 1914, the Panama Canal, the American-built waterway across the Isthmus of Pana-

ma, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, is inaugurated.

U.S. engineers moved nearly 240 million cubic yards of earth and spent more than $10 billion in today’s dollars in constructing the 40-mile-long canal.

On Aug. 16, 1841, President John Tyler vetoes a second attempt by Congress to re-establish the Bank of the United States. In response, angry supporters of the bank, many from his own party, the Whigs, burned an effigy of Tyler outside the White House.

On Aug. 17, 1969, the Woodstock Music & Art Fair ends after three days of peace, love and rock ‘n’ roll in rural New York. Promoters expected no more than 200,000 people, but almost half a million showed up, with most getting in free when the gates had to be opened.

On Aug. 18, 1920, a dramatic battle in the Tennessee House of Representatives ends with ratification of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, giving women the right to vote.

Theatre 29 cancels ‘The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe’ After a pandemic-induced delay of about fifteen months, an almost complete recasting and a resurgent pandemic plagued rehearsal period, director Char Childs sadly announces that Theatre 29’s production of “The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe” is being cancelled. The dramatization of C.S. Lewis’ classic, set in the magical land of Narnia, was to open August 20 and run through September 5.

We feel we may have tried to open too soon,” Childs stated, “After having to postpone the 2020 production, this decision was not made lightly…..But we feel we have no other option.”

The second attempt at launching the production found that only a handful of the 2020 cast were able to commit to their roles and

was followed by three weeks of trying to cast new performers for the other roles. With a company of 29 performers, it was a monumental task. Over the past couple weeks, the production lost several key members of their technical support crew that proved to be impossible to replace. In addition, Theatre 29 Covid policies requiring covid testing for the unvaccinated would have resulted in lost rehearsal time and the show’s production staff decided that it was a bridge too far.

Director Childs is very proud of her cast and crew that had grown so much and so close during the rehearsal period and through working amidst adversity. No decision made as yet if the production will be reattempted at a later time.

Brain Teaser Answer Neither. The capital is Frankfurt

All Hands on Deck The older veterans were arrayed along the back parking lot, watching the construction of two tiny homes for Veterans Village. My mission, which I accepted, was to sidle up to one of them, the very elderly Frank, and see how I thought he was doing.

I reported back to Sarge: “Well, for starters, I couldn’t tell you the last time he washed his clothes or took a shower. Looks sad.”

Sarge nodded and stabbed numbers into his phone. I overheard

his end of the conversation with his granddaughter.

“Baby girl, this is Granddad.

You up for a spy mission?” He gave her the particulars, and when she called back 15 minutes later he put her on speaker phone.

“His wife has been in rehab for over a week, chest congestion, not COVID, getting better. Your guy Frank hasn’t answered his phone this whole time. She’s frantic and nobody at rehab will help.”

“Can you jump in?” he asked.

Sarge’s lovely granddaughter volunteered at the senior center and knew everybody. Even more valuable, she knew how to wheedle info out of people. Within 24 hours she called back with the sitrep: She’d paid a visit to Frank, and it was all now under control.

Frank had been told he couldn’t visit his wife due to COVID re-

strictions. His wife had their only phone charger cord. The water heater had quit, and the repair guy was on vacation. And on and on. Poor Frank.

Sarge’s granddaughter took him home for dinner (her mom knew to never be surprised), made a grocery run, put Frank on the phone to his wife in rehab, gave him a spare phone charger and called another plumber.

Today she had a snarling conversation with the director of the rehab place, after which Frank’s wife was wheeled out to the sunlit inner courtyard, where she was allowed a socially distant halfhour with Frank. He was heard laughing.

Sarge’s granddaughter is 17 years old. (c) 2021 King Features Synd., Inc.
