A show of hands: How many of us feel that we’ve lost muscle strength during the pandemic? Unfortunately, the answer is that many of us have, and we’re going to have to fight to get it back. There we were, with regular workout and walking routines, on top of all our other daily activities. Along came COVID and its “stay home” restrictions. There were no more early morning walks at the mall, no more visits to the gym for weight training, no more workout or dance classes ... not even any Tai Chi at the senior center. And there went our muscle mass. Getting back to where we were is going to be tough ... but we need to try. Here are a few thoughts on rebuilding our muscle strength: • Look to YouTube for exercise videos designed for seniors. You’ll find thousands: seated exercises, workouts at home, walking workouts, low impact, beginners and so many more.

• Sit in a kitchen chair and stand up. Sit down again. Stand up. Repeat 10-12 times. • Invest in hand weights (order them from Amazon and they’re delivered right to your door). Don’t kid yourself and assume you’re ready to wield a pair of 10-pound weights. Start small with 2-pound weights. If you need to order heavier ones, again, be cautious and don’t jump up more than 1-2 pounds. Try increasing the number of repetitions day by day. If necessary, use 1-gallon plastic jugs (one in each hand), partially filled with water, as weights. • If you have stairs in your home, use them to help your leg muscles. Increase the number of times you go up and down each day. Take it easy, especially at the beginning, but be persistent. Some of us are going to have to fight hard to rebuild the muscle mass we’ve lost. (c) 2022 King Features Synd., Inc.

Please note that all federal and state requirements must still be followed. “I am pleased to report that our COVID-19 case rate in Palm Springs is now lower than the county and state average,” said City Manager Justin Clifton, who

noted that Palm Springs is now averaging just nine new cases per day and hospitalizations have significantly decreased over the past consecutive weeks. “Due to this recent data, case numbers in Palm Springs are expected to decrease even more in the coming week -- and we feel confident that local restrictions can now be lifted,” said Clifton.

Hidden Talent Found in Veterans Village Another blast of arctic weather was expected any minute and David, the project manager for the tiny homes in the Veterans Village, pushed the trades to bring all three homes under roof before the storm hit. Everyone hustled, knowing that lunch would be provided as soon as they finished their part of the work. Sarge stood in the coffee shop kitchen talking to one of the veterans employed as a carpenter assistant, who basically carried, toted and measured.

“Can you put together some burgers and coffee for the guys coming in?” Sarge asked. “Nothing fancy, just hot food.” “That I can,” the carpenter said and got to work pulling ingredients out of the cabinets and fridge. David blew through the back door, looking for his lost employee. Sarge explained: burgers, coffee, hungry guys. David nodded and stood watching his carpenter expertly flip burgers, add a pinch of cinnamon to the coffee pot and create a crudite platter with three different dips. “He looks pretty darn confident in this kitchen,” David whispered to Sarge. “Notice that?” Sarge called out to the carpenter veteran. “Son, what was your MOS in the Army?” The veteran turned and smiled, spatula in hand. “MOS 92G, sir,” he said. “Culinary Specialist.”

David scratched his head. “Then what are you doing working as a carpenter assistant?” “Taking care of my family,” the carpenter replied as he moved a burger onto a toasted bun. “I got two kids. Moved here and didn’t know anybody. You had a job. I needed one.” Sarge pulled out his phone, tapping numbers. “I got a cook here,” he said when the call was answered, “in the guise of a junior wanna-be assistant carpenter. How much could this boy be making at your restaurant? He’s Army trained, so he’ll need a good salary ...” Ten minutes later, Sarge came back down the stairs and handed the carpenter a piece of paper. “You got an interview tomorrow for sous chef ... whatever that is.” (c) 2022 King Features Synd., Inc.
