REGIONAL – Grown ups argue<br />
over it. School children write reports<br />
about it. Crowds gather just to have<br />
a look at it. And from time to time<br />
residents of Georgetown have tried<br />
to steal it from Rowley, although a<br />
Georgetown historian claims it is not<br />
the real thing.<br />
Old Nancy, a British cannon in<br />
Colonial times that was hijacked on its<br />
journey to Boston, has been the topic<br />
of argument and late night mischief<br />
between Rowley and Georgetown for<br />
the last 200 years.<br />
So intense is the belief in Rowley<br />
that Georgetown will try to steal the<br />
cannon, town officials, led by Robert<br />
Merry, chairman of the town’s Board<br />
of Selectmen and licensed cannoneer,<br />
have locked it away, hidden under a<br />
tarpaulin.<br />
When asked where Old Nancy is,<br />
Rowley Town Clerk Susan Hazen,<br />
who is also the head of the Rowley<br />
Historical Society, joked, “I can’t tell<br />
you. If I did, I’d have to kill you.”<br />

TRITON – Triton High School seniors Kristin Romanski and Tyler<br />
Ciarmataro were the first recipients of an annual scholarship program<br />
from the Rowley Veterans Association.<br />
Named in honor of Charlie Hardy, who served in the Army’s 82nd<br />
Airborne Division and and managed the RVA for five years, the program<br />
awarded $500 each to the students. Romanski will study math at the<br />
University of Massachusetts at Amherst next year. Ciarmataro will study<br />
game design and development at the Rochester Institute for Technology.<br />
The scholarships were awarded at the association’s annual customer<br />
appreciation day Saturday. The scholarship program was organized by<br />
David Leavitt, the association president, Bill Gaynor, association secretary,<br />
Jimmy Edwards, the association manager, and Bugg LaRouchelle, who<br />
spearheaded the fundraising.<br />

AMESBURY – With General Electric moving its<br />
headquarters next year from Connecticut to the Boston’s<br />
Seaport District, state officials seem more optimistic these<br />
days that Massachusetts can again become a friendlier site for<br />
manufacturing.<br />
A small example of this renewed interest in manufacturing<br />
companies was State Sen. Kathryn O’Connor Ives’ recent visit<br />
to the Chestnut Innovation Center, a second-stage incubator<br />
for small manufacturing companies.<br />

Holy Family Hospital Again Earns<br />
“A” Hospital Safety Score<br />
Award Applies to Haverhill and<br />
Methuen Campuses<br />
This prestigious “A” Hospital Safety Score applies to both of Holy<br />
Family Hospital’s full service campuses in Methuen and Haverhill. Both<br />
campuses provide comprehensive inpatient and outpatient care, surgical<br />
care, intensive care, and 24/7 emergency services to the Merrimack Valley<br />
and southern New Hampshire.<br />
“At Holy Family Hospital we continually strive to improve care across<br />
our two full-service hospital campuses,” says Holy Family Hospital<br />
President Joseph Roach. “The highly qualified physicians and health care<br />
professionals we have on staff have superior training, are dedicated to<br />
patients, and they pay close attention to detail, all of which play a role<br />
in keeping patients safe. This award is tangible proof that the highest<br />
standard of care is being delivered to our patients each and every day.”<br />
The Hospital Safety Score is compiled under the guidance of the nation’s<br />
leading experts on patient safety, and is administered by The Leapfrog<br />
Group, an independent industry watchdog.<br />
Calculated under the guidance of Leapfrog’s Blue Ribbon Expert Panel,<br />
the Hospital Safety Score uses 28 measures of publicly available hospital<br />
safety data to produce a single “A,” “B,” “C,” “D,” or “F” score, representing<br />
a hospital’s overall capacity to keep patients safe from preventable harm<br />
The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Score uses national performance measures<br />
from the Leapfrog Hospital Survey, the Agency for Healthcare Research and<br />
Quality, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Centers for<br />
Medicare and Medicaid Services and the American Hospital Association’s<br />
Annual Survey and Health Information Technology Supplement.

“I greatly enjoyed meeting the<br />
business owners and entrepreneurs<br />
at the Chestnut Innovation Center,<br />
where I got to hear about their goals<br />
and challenges,” Ives wrote in an<br />
email. “This meeting and tour was<br />
a great opportunity for me to share<br />
with them how my work in the<br />
legislature can beneficially intersect<br />
with their work as small business<br />
owners working to grow in the<br />
Merrimack Valley.”<br />
“It’s my job to listen to small<br />
business owners and start-ups to<br />
find out how the legislature can help<br />
support a healthy environment for<br />
Massachusetts businesses to grow<br />
and prosper,” she wrote.<br />
The Chestnut Innovation Center<br />
occupies an old mill building here,<br />
owned by ARC Technologies, that<br />
is now home to about 20 small<br />
manufacturing businesses and<br />
service firms, which employ almost<br />
100 people.<br />
Ives, the chair of the legislature’s<br />

Development and Small<br />

of entrepreneurs like Andrew<br />

kept secret in town, said one<br />
resident, is that Old Nancy is locked<br />
in the Town Barn.<br />
Georgetown maintains that the<br />
real Old Nancy is not in Rowley,<br />
but on exhibit in the basement of<br />
the Georgetown Town Hall.<br />
This Memorial Day, stalwarts from<br />
the Rowley Veterans Association,<br />
who helped restore the old cannon<br />
and were accused two years ago of<br />
illegally firing it, have the town’s<br />
approval to bring Old Nancy out of<br />
hiding for the annual parade. Roy<br />
Richter will pull it on a trailer with<br />
his 1930s tractor.<br />
Bill Gaynor, one of the RVA<br />
parade organizers, said he expects a<br />
huge crowd to come out to see Old<br />
Nancy on display. “It’s Rowley’s<br />
Statute of Liberty,” he said.<br />
The tale of Old Nancy started<br />
shortly after New England rebels<br />
tossed British tea in the bay. The<br />
English, seeking to subdue the<br />
rebels, sent the Nancy, an ordinance<br />
ship, from Liverpool carrying<br />
several cannons and munitions for<br />
the British troops.<br />
The ship was captured by the<br />
Yankee schooner Lee, commanded<br />
by Capt. John Manly, and taken to<br />
Gloucester. In the confusion on the<br />
docks, one of the cannons was left<br />
behind and sat rusting until Rowley<br />
fish merchant, Maj. Eben Boynton,<br />
bought it.<br />

Amigo proposed to Ives that<br />
the state adopt a tax credit for any<br />
corporation that buys products<br />
from start-up companies.<br />
“There’s nothing better than<br />
customers for a small company,”<br />
Amigo told Ives.<br />
A New Hampshire solar<br />
manufacturer, which is looking<br />
to move to Massachusetts to take<br />
advantage of the state’s alternative<br />
energy tax credits, proposed that the<br />
state invest in placing solar panels<br />
on the roofs of all public housing<br />
and public buildings as a way of<br />
stimulating the solar industry.<br />
Several of the small manufacturers<br />
said they need more trained<br />
machinists and would like for the<br />
state or community college and<br />
technical schools to develop a<br />
certification for trained technicians.<br />
Bob Blair, who owns Speedboard<br />
USA, a surf and paddle board<br />
manufacturer, praised the student<br />
interns who have worked for his<br />
company and said he would love<br />
to provide opportunities for high<br />
school and community college<br />
students to learn manufacturing<br />
skills on the job.<br />
The senator, who also holds a<br />
Old Nancy Rides Again<br />
Boynton had two sons. One<br />
lived in the east parish of Rowley,<br />
the other in the west parish, which<br />
since 1838 has been Georgetown.<br />
When Boynton died without<br />
a will, both sons claimed the<br />
cannon. And thus the feud over the<br />
ownership of the old British cannon<br />
began.<br />
There have been many attempts<br />
by both towns to steal the cannon.<br />
As the story goes, in 1876, Rowley<br />
stole it back, but Georgetown<br />
claimed the stolen cannon was a<br />
phoney.<br />
In 1877, Georgetown rolled out<br />
its Old Nancy under tight security.<br />
A Rowley resident got close enough<br />
to jab a knife into it to demonstrate<br />
that the Georgetown Old Nancy<br />
was made of wood, or so the story<br />
goes.<br />
For its centennial celebration<br />
in 1938, Georgetown exhibited<br />
an iron Old Nancy and claimed it<br />
was the original. That, of course,<br />
renewed the feud.<br />
A year later on the Fourth of<br />
July, Rowley brought out its Old<br />
Nancy and fired it. In firing it, the<br />
old cannon suffered some damage,<br />
which private citizens repaired.<br />
“We have all seen it fired many<br />
times. Does the Georgetown cannon<br />
fire?” asked Hazen, who keeps in<br />
her office a replica of Old Nancy,<br />
made by her son when he was an<br />
elementary school student.<br />
seat on the state’s higher education<br />
committee, said she would<br />
meet with the Northern Essex<br />
Community College and the trade<br />
schools to discuss their intern<br />
programs. She proposed initiating<br />
a small manufacturers job fair in<br />
conjunction with the community<br />
college and trade schools.<br />
Ives told the business owners there<br />
are numerous grant opportunities<br />
for small businesses, and her office<br />
is developing a comprehensive list<br />
of available grants that the business<br />
owners might apply for.<br />
“In addition to grant opportunities<br />
that some attendees were familiar<br />
with, it was insightful to also discuss<br />
ideas for growing their customer<br />
base, ways to recruit interns, as well<br />
as pending legislation that relates to<br />
local manufacturing and workforce<br />
development,” Ives said.<br />
Bob O’Brien, the president of<br />
the innovation center said the<br />
meeting with Ives was very helpful<br />
to the center and to its small<br />
manufacturing tenants because she<br />

“That information is hard to<br />
come by,” he said. “It is a key time<br />
in Senate right now, and we need<br />
Katie’s support.”<br />
Ed Desjardins with the<br />
Georgetown Historical Society,<br />
who lived in Rowley for 12 years,<br />
disagrees that Rowley has the<br />
original. After doing research on<br />
Revolutionary War cannons at<br />
Harvard University’s Fogg Museum,<br />
he believes the Georgetown Old<br />
Nancy is the real one.<br />
Rowley’s Old Nancy is an artillery<br />
cannon, not a ship’s cannon,<br />
Desjardins said.<br />
Several years ago, he designed<br />
a new base for the cannon and<br />
asked the Spaulding Colonial<br />
Reproductions to make it for the<br />
Georgetown Old Nancy. Town<br />
leaders put their Old Nancy on<br />
permanent exhibit in the basement<br />
of town hall.<br />
The feud between the two towns<br />
is “all in fun,” Hazen said. “We<br />
could have had it tested, but what<br />
would be the fun in that? The fun is<br />
in the legend.”<br />
Rowley’s Old Nancy has been<br />
refurbished and exhibited in events<br />
like the Newburyport and Rowley<br />
375th anniversary parades.<br />
The Rowley Memorial Day Parade,<br />
which will feature scout troops, the<br />
Triton High School Band, police<br />
cruisers, Patriot Riders and a color<br />
guard, will begin Monday at 1:30<br />
p.m. from the parking lot of the<br />
RVA and wind through the town<br />
cemetery behind the library. It will<br />

Burnham of Essex, MA to learn<br />
about the redesign and current<br />
rehabilitation of the Schooner<br />
Ernestina-Morrissey, a nineteenth<br />
century example of the Essex<br />
wooden shipbuilding tradition<br />
that has spanned four centuries.<br />
The boat, the official vessel of the<br />
Commonwealth of Massachusetts,<br />
is in dry dock in Boothbay Harbor<br />
Shipyard in Maine where Master<br />
Shipwright David Short has faired<br />
her lines and is installing a new<br />
keel, futtocks, frames, planks and<br />
aft deck. The wooden Fredonia<br />
schooner Effie M.Morrissey was<br />
built in 1894 at the James and<br />
Tarr Shipyard in Essex for the<br />
Gloucester fishing fleet. Under<br />
Captain Bob Bartlett she sailed to<br />
within 600 miles of the North Pole,<br />
served in WWII, and later brought<br />
immigrants to the U.S. under the<br />
power of sail. Returned to the U.S.<br />
in 1982 as a gift from the newly<br />
independent Cape Verdean people,<br />
the Ernestina sailed as an education<br />
vessel until 20<strong>05</strong>. Renamed<br />
Ernestina-Morrissey in 2014, she is<br />
a National Historic Landmark. This<br />
free public program, which will<br />
be presented in the Parker River<br />
National Wildlife Refuge visitor<br />
center, is being sponsored by the<br />
MA Department of Conservation<br />
and Recreation. The refuge visitor<br />

SAVE THE MONARCH!<br />
– A VERY SPECIAL EVENING<br />
PRESENTATION<br />
Pretty much everyone has seen<br />
a monarch butterfly – at least in<br />
photographs. But did you know that<br />
this charismatic insect’s numbers are<br />
in dramatic decline? Katie Hone,<br />
“The Monarch Gardener”, will<br />
deliver a special presentation about<br />
the monarch and its natural history,<br />
the reasons for their decline, and the<br />
many conservation efforts that are<br />
happening across their migration<br />
pathway. She’ll also provide tips<br />
for how you can help the monarch<br />
by planting a native plant garden<br />
in your own backyard! Thursday,<br />
May 26th, 7:00 – 8:30 pm. This<br />
program, which is most appropriate<br />
for teens and adults, will take<br />
place in the refuge visitor center<br />

FRIDAY MORNING BIRD<br />
WALKS: FOCUS ON<br />
WARBLERS<br />
Get an early start on the birding<br />
day with local trips in the area.<br />
Many birds are most active early<br />
in the morning and therefore easier<br />
to see. Explore various locations<br />
in the greater Newburyport/Plum<br />
Island area including such birding<br />
hot spots as the Parker River<br />
National Wildlife Refuge on Plum<br />
Island, Oak Hill Cemetery in<br />
Newburyport, Pikes Bridge Road in<br />
West Newbury, and Salisbury Beach<br />
State Reservation. The focus for<br />
these excursions will be the beautiful<br />
wood-warblers migrating through<br />
our area. Of course, we will also be<br />
on the lookout for other neotropical<br />
migrants. Fri, May 27, 20<strong>16</strong> 8:00<br />

CHILD ENRICHMENT<br />
Warmer months bring days<br />
spent outdoors, sweet treats and<br />
backyard barbecues. Spending time<br />
with loved ones outside can also<br />
mean many messes, big and small.<br />
With kids out of school, outdoor<br />
entertaining and keeping the house<br />
clean become serious challenges<br />
— even for the most organized<br />
families. Here are five easy hacks to<br />
keep your house (and kids) clean<br />
while embracing the mess.<br />

ice pop drip catcher<br />
Common<br />
Kids love an ice pop after playing<br />
outside, but the melty drips can be<br />
a nightmare. To help catch drips It’s easy to forget to kick off<br />
eekly and save clothes, simply Community insert the your shoes after a long day ice pop stick into the bottom of Newspaper<br />
playing<br />
outside. And even if you do, it<br />
a paper cup or cupcake wrapper.<br />
Pull the ice pop all the way down<br />
and the catcher instantly serves<br />
as protection, saving clothes and<br />
hands from getting sticky!<br />
Kiss stains goodbye, naturally<br />
Summer fun usually brings<br />
stubborn grass stains to clothes.<br />
Easily remove pesky stains with<br />
pure white vinegar. Simply soak<br />
the stained area of clothing with<br />
vinegar, wash as usual, and voila<br />
— clean clothes without the use of<br />
harsh chemicals.<br />

Combating faucet stains<br />
is a piece of cake<br />
As you transition inside<br />
after a long day, first<br />
things first — wash your<br />
hands! Installing a faucet<br />
that resists fingerprints<br />
and other stains is a nobrainer.<br />
A faucet with SpotShield<br />
Technology such as the Delta<br />
Merge lavatory faucet helps resist<br />
unsightly water spots and stains<br />
while staying clean for longer<br />
periods of time. Available online<br />
and in stores such as The Home<br />
Depot, this faucet translates to less<br />
clean-up and more time spent at<br />
the summer barbecue.<br />
Easy craft clean up<br />
Not all fun is had outdoors.<br />
When kids are inside creating<br />
crafty masterpieces, keep the glue<br />
and glitter in one place by laying<br />
out an old sheet or piece of canvas<br />
on the floor or table. When the<br />
crafting is complete, simply toss it<br />
into the wash or garbage for quick<br />
and easy clean up<br />

NEWBURYPORT -- Water is<br />
a precious resource and the snow<br />
fall this winter did little to restore<br />
our water supplies. This has lead<br />
Newburyport to partner with<br />
the Great American Rain Barrel<br />
Company in Hyde Park, MA to<br />
offer recycled barrels to residents<br />
as part of a community water<br />
conservation program.<br />
“We are thrilled to be offering<br />
Gem in Georgetown!<br />
Newburyport Rain Barrel Program<br />
this simple and inexpensive device<br />
to our residents to bring down<br />
their water costs and help our<br />
community protect our aquifers,”<br />
says Molly Ettenborough,<br />
Recycling and Energy Manager<br />
for Newburyport. “ We are seeing<br />
residents hooking up two and three<br />
barrels together and saving on their<br />
water bills.”<br />
In New England residential<br />
water usage can increase as much<br />
as 60% during the spring, summer<br />
and fall seasons from outdoor<br />
watering such as watering gardens,<br />
lawns, filling pools and, washing<br />
cars. Barrels can offset that usage;<br />
saving homeowner’s money and<br />
helping the community manage<br />
water supplies. Rain barrels can<br />
also reduce runoff. In watershed<br />
areas, runoff from homes and<br />
developments can harm existing<br />
water sources because overtaxed<br />
storm sewers discharge polluted<br />
runoff. This is costly for towns to<br />
manage and over time this takes a<br />
toll on the fragile aquatic ecosystem<br />
that the area is dependant on.<br />
Suzanne Gebelein, Owner of<br />
the Great American Rain Barrel<br />
Company comments, “We have<br />
been selling barrels for <strong>25</strong> years.”<br />
Cities and towns like Newburyport<br />
are able to offer resident’s rain<br />
barrels at near to wholesale prices<br />
and have them delivered right to the<br />
community for a local distribution.<br />
Homeowners connect the barrels<br />
to their downspouts and collect a<br />
significant amount of rainwater,<br />
offsetting their watering needs and<br />
keeping water bills down. In this<br />
region there is typically <strong>16</strong>” of rain<br />
from May 1st – September 30th.<br />
For every inch of rainfall a 1000<br />
square foot surface can collect 620<br />
gallons of water, which means that<br />
over the course of the extended<br />
summer months an average roof<br />
of 2400 square feet could see<br />
more than 20,000 gallons of fresh<br />
rainwater passing over its surface<br />
from May through September.<br />
That is a significant source of water<br />
that homeowners can tapping<br />
into for free. To keep a small<br />
10’ x 10’ garden irrigated during<br />
the summer months can mean<br />
using up to 1700 gallons of water.<br />
Based on the average roof size a 60<br />
gallon rain barrels would fill for<br />
every 1/10” of rainfall. The Great<br />
American Rain Barrel Company<br />
recommends one barrel for every<br />
100 square feet garden.<br />
Newburyport is offering the<br />
Great American Rain Barrel in<br />
three colors; Forest Green, Earth<br />
Brown or Nantucket Gray at the<br />
low cost of $79 versus the retail<br />
price of $119. To take advantage<br />
of this community program<br />
discount please visit www.<br />

center of things. But this week it might be wiser to watch and learn<br />
from the sidelines. A Pisces wants to make you purr.<br />
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) “New” is your watchword<br />
this week. Be open to new ideas, both on the job and in your personal<br />
life. A romantic Aries or Sagittarian beckons.<br />
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Some difficult family<br />
decisions have to be faced, but be sure to get more facts before you<br />
act. Be careful not to neglect your health during this trying time.<br />
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You still need to support<br />
a loved one through a difficult time. Meanwhile, things continue to<br />
work out to your benefit in the workplace.<br />
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Aspects continue<br />
to favor expanding social opportunities. A Gemini reaches out to<br />
offer a chance for re-establishing a once-close relationship.<br />
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) There’s a potential<br />
for misunderstanding in both your job and your personal life. A full<br />
explanation of your intentions helps smooth things over.<br />
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You might be feeling<br />
restless on the job, but delay making any major moves until all the<br />
facts are in. A Scorpio has a surprising revelation.<br />
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your business sense works to<br />
your advantage as you sort through the possibilities that are opening<br />
up. A Libra is Cupid’s best bet for your romantic prospects.<br />
BORN THIS WEEK: You have a gift for being open-minded about<br />
people. This helps you make friends easily. You would do very well<br />
in public service.<br />

Health & Wellness<br />
By J. Peter St. Clair, DMD<br />
It is common sense that<br />
infected teeth, whether they<br />
hurt or not, or are broken<br />
down beyond repair, should be<br />
removed. We also all know by<br />
now that there are mouth-body<br />
connections and that the mouth<br />
is the “gateway” to the rest of<br />
the body. There is no disputing<br />
that a healthy mouth is better for<br />
you on many levels. However,<br />
in a recently released study, the<br />
guidelines for treatment of some<br />
types of dental problems prior<br />
to specific surgery need closer<br />
consideration.<br />
According to a study in The<br />
Annals of Thoracic Surgery,<br />
removing an infected tooth<br />
prior to cardiac surgery may<br />
increase the risk of major adverse<br />
outcomes, including risk of death<br />
prior to surgery. This is a very<br />
specific study for a very specific<br />
group of patients. It does not<br />
insinuate ignoring or postponing<br />
dental problems prior to any<br />
surgery.<br />
Dental extraction of abscessed or<br />
infected teeth is often performed<br />
to decrease the risk of infection<br />
during surgery and endocarditis<br />
(an inflammation of the inner<br />
layer of the heart) following<br />
Here’s yet another reason to<br />
try to stay fit: Seniors with more<br />
muscle mass have a lower risk of<br />
death.<br />
That’s according to researchers<br />
who spent eight years surveying<br />
6,400 patients with cardiovascular<br />
disease. They divided the patients<br />
into four groups: high muscle/<br />
high fat, high muscle/low fat, low<br />
muscle/high fat and low muscle/<br />
low fat. The winners (those with<br />
improved survival odds) were<br />
those with the high muscle/low<br />
fat combination. The level of fat<br />
Brighter Smiles...<br />
Cardiac Considerations<br />
surgery. In this particular study,<br />
physician researchers evaluated<br />
the occurrence of major adverse<br />
outcomes in 2<strong>05</strong> patients who<br />
underwent at least one dental<br />
extraction prior to planned<br />
cardiac surgery from 2003 to<br />
2013. The median time from<br />
dental extraction to cardiac<br />
surgery was 7 days (average 35<br />
days).<br />
In this study, patients who<br />
underwent dental extraction prior<br />
to cardiac surgery experienced an<br />
8% incidence of major adverse<br />
outcomes, including new heart<br />
attack, stroke, kidney failure and<br />
death. Overall, 3% of patients<br />
died after dental extraction<br />
and before the planned cardiac<br />
surgery could be performed.<br />
Another of the researchers went<br />
on to say, “With the information<br />
from our study we cannot make<br />
a definitive recommendation<br />
for or against dental extraction<br />
prior to cardiac surgery. We<br />
recommend an individualized<br />
analysis of the expected benefit<br />
of dental extraction prior to<br />
surgery weighed against the risk<br />
of morbidity and mortality as<br />
observed in our study.”<br />
This study, as in many “new”<br />
studies, awakens us to consider<br />
a departure from current lines of<br />
thinking about specific situations.<br />
This paradigm shift of thinking<br />
has also been noted in the use of<br />
prophylactic antibiotics prior to<br />
dental procedures in those with<br />
cardiac conditions.<br />
Prophylactic antibiotics have<br />
routinely been prescribed for<br />
patients undergoing dental<br />
work who also had existing<br />
heart problems because it had<br />
been accepted that there is a<br />
link between dental bacteremia<br />
and endocarditis. Individuals<br />
with pre-existing heart problems<br />
tend to have a higher incidence<br />
of endocarditis. The American<br />
Heart Association and others<br />
have withdrawn support for<br />
this practice of prophylactic<br />
antibiotics because the danger<br />
from overuse of antibiotics<br />
outweighs any other potential<br />
risks. Regular tooth brushing,<br />
flossing, and even chewing gum<br />

Senior Scene<br />
Grow Stronger, Live Longer<br />
doesn’t matter as much as the<br />
muscle mass to reduce risk of<br />
death.<br />
The study jibes with one from<br />
two years ago that determined<br />
that BMI levels aren’t as important<br />
as body composition -- in other<br />
words, muscle mass.<br />
How do seniors gain muscle<br />
mass? It’s not easy, as we tend to<br />
start losing muscle at about age<br />
40.<br />
The first step to build muscle<br />
is to consult your doctor before<br />
you change your diet or start any<br />
new kind of exercise. Ask if the<br />
following changes are correct for<br />
you:<br />
Protein -- While it helps build<br />
muscle, seniors shouldn’t get<br />
too much because it can stress<br />
the kidneys. This is where your<br />
doctor can help calculate how<br />
much you should get in a day.<br />
Carbs -- We need to burn<br />
these for energy. Without<br />
carbohydrates you’ll use protein<br />
for energy, instead of using your<br />
protein to build muscles.<br />
Water -- You need the right<br />
amount to help absorb the<br />
nutrients in your food. Again,<br />
your doctor can calculate it for<br />
you. Measure the amount of<br />
water you should have in a day<br />
and keep it handy on the counter<br />
or in the fridge.<br />
Working Out -- The Centers for<br />
Disease Control and Prevention<br />
has put a 126-page book online<br />
called “Growing Stronger” for<br />
seniors who want to start strength<br />
training. Look for it at www.cdc.<br />
