New market to open later this month SHAVERTOWN - Three young business owners are watching their dreams materialize right in Shavertown. ‘Chris and Pam Evans and Tom Beseski, owners of Thomas Family Market, Inc., are counting down the days until their second store opens in the Shavertown Shopping Center where BilLo supermarket used to be. They already own one store in Larksville. “It’s going very well,” said Chris Evans, who is busy every day getting the store in order. With the help of contractors they are building a bakery, hot foods, sea- food and homemade foods sec- tions. “People will really be surprised when ‘they walk in here for the first time. They haven't seen any- thing like (what we'll offer) in this building in 30 years,” said Evans, who is excited about the planned mid-to-late November grand open- ing.

POST PHOTOS/CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK Exercise and the elderly By TIMOTHY MCCONNELL, Ph.D. Exercise Physiologist Geisinger Medical Center You may have read about the 89-year-old fellow who climbed a mountain in Antarctica. Was he off his rocker? You bet. And more of you old folks should get off your rockers, too, if you're in relatively good health. It would do you a world of good, physically and mentally. For example, aregu- lar exercise regimen can: ¢ Slow the aging process. e Strengthen bones against that great bone-destroyer, osteoporo- sis. » Boost your tolerance for body sugar (glucose) and lower your risk of developing diabetes. e Firm up sagging muscles. e Improve flexibility. e Reduce your risk of injury from a fall. * Help you lose weight or maintain your ideal weight. Alleviate stress and depression. e Give you a sense of accomplish- ment, something to brag about. To achieve an improved level of fitness, you don’t have to climb a mountain in Antarctica, go bungee-jumping off the Empire State Building, or run in the New York City marathon (although a 90-plus fellow does that regularly). A walk in the park, a little Ping- Pong, or a couple of foxtrots will do nicely. So, when was the last time you jitterbugged? e Bowled? e Rode a bicycle? e Played catch with a grandchild? All of those activities can help you recapture your youth, or at least a little piece of it. And they can put a smile on your face and a purr in your ticker. What's that? You say you're too far over the hill? You say you just can’t hack it? Well, a recent study involving 100 patients of a nurs- ing home proved that even the very frail and the very sedentary can benefit from physical activity. After 10 weeks of regular exercise, four patients who used walkers graduated to canes. And all 100 patients could walk an average of 12 percent faster than before and climb stairs 28 percent faster! But before you head out to buy sneaks, see your physician for a thorough checkup that will tell you how much and what kind of exercise you can tolerate.
