Not answered How to get a timestamp on a document- one that doesn't change

Hi all. Trying to set a timestamp on our Emergency Status page so that when we update it, we can have a date and time of when it was last updated- something the public finds useful. I am successful in setting a label with the current date and time- however the date/time value keeps changing with every refresh of the page. How to make it timestamp at the time of saving and/or publishing my page? Any suggestions? Would prefer it "set" when I save the page in Sitefinity. Here is my code:

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="updatedDate.ascx.cs" Inherits="UserControls_Custom_updatedDate" %>

<div class="coop_updatedDate">

<asp:label ID="lbl1" runat="server"></asp:label>

</div>

and here is the .cs

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Web;

using System.Web.UI;

using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

using System.Configuration;

public partial class UserControls_Custom_updatedDate : System.Web.UI.UserControl

{

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {

    if (!Page.IsPostBack)

      {

        DateTime now = DateTime.Now;

        lbl1.Text = "Updated: " + now.ToString();

          }

    }

}
