The Searcy County Historical Society will meet Friday, September 26, in the First Christian Church at 7:00 pm. The guest speaker will be James Johnston speaking about a Missouri Confederate that jayhawked in Searcy County. This story was to be a part of the July “Confederates Good and Bad” talk, but putting “good’ and “bad” in the same presentation made it too long, so it was split. The good Confederate was Searcy County’s Captain James Harrison “Harry” Love. You will have to attend the September meeting to learn about the bad Confederate and who he was. All are invited. Coffee and nibbles will be available.

The significance of exercise is well documented, and that even goes for seniors. But in the case of exercise, can there be too much of a good thing? Should seniors be exercising every day? Seniors can exercise most days, but daily, intense workouts are not necessary. Cedars-Sinai says adults 65 and older should aim for between 2.5 to 5 hours of moderate exercise each week, which aligns with recommendations from the Department of Health and Human Services. Seniors crunched for time can engage in between 1.25 and 2.5 hours of intense aerobic exercise each week. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week. That can translate into 30 minutes of daily exercise for five days, or it can be broken up into other intervals as necessary. Strength and balance training also should be a consideration. Seniors should keep in mind that overdoing intensity or length of workouts may contribute to injury, which can derail efforts to get fit.
