Voters to decide tourism tax issue BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

IUKA — Tishomingo County residents will give their 2 cents in the voting booth on Tuesday as the county decides a referendum on a tax to support tourism promotion, parks and recreation. The proposed 2 percent tax on restaurant sales would be collected in addition to the usual 7 percent sales tax. Polls will open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. for the countywide special election, which was made possible through legislation passed during this year’s session. Voters will choose “for the

tax” or “against the tax” on the ballot, and 60 percent must endorse the tax in order for it to pass. Funds are proposed to be distributed to communities throughout the county for tourism-related projects. “Our initiatives will include enhancing our amenities offered in our city and state parks, our museum and historic sites, including splash pads, walking tracks, park benches, park lighting and playground equipment,” supporter Cindy Nelson recently told the Daily CorinPlease see TAX | 2A

After choosing to make Corinth home earlier this year, The Alliance’s Virginia-Boyd James hopes to be a part of making the city an attractive choice for young professionals and retirees. She became the new community development director in April, succeeding Andrea Rose. The Community Development Council’s programs

focus on retail, leadership and education, retirement and young professionals. The latter is of particular interest to James. James “My main focus with this new position has been to really revamp and revitalize the Corinth Professionals pro-

provides the participants with a good time and a little practice.” Entry fee is $100 per team and should include at least five people. The challenge course will include a stretcher relay, walk the line, fire hose crawl, 10-50 response, cat in the tree and turn out. “We are working with local agencies to secure items to be used in the course,” said Graves. “We will have a fire truck and ambulance on the arena floor, as well as a wrecked car with an trapped, injured dummy. There will also be target practice for marksmanship.” Coca-Cola will provide a water station for competitors and the fair will treat all team members to a dinner after the contest. Already signed up with three teams in the challenge is the Corinth Fire Department.

Training Officer Jerry Whirley said he challenges other local agencies to signup and enter the contest. “This is going to be a great opportunity for the public to see what we do and what it takes to do it,” said Whirley. “My guys are pretty competitive and want to win, so those other teams better watch out.” Magnolia EMS has also signed up a team for the contest. Battle of the Badges is part of a full slate of events scheduled for Thursday, the kickoff the three-day fair. The public can attend the challenge course event for $5 per person. The admission also covers all other fair events taking place on Thursday including a steak grilling contest, Teeny Weeny Circus and entertainment from Wes Sheffield & the Slow Burners.

In Oxford, she worked as executive assistant to the mayor and then spent time in Ireland working as an au pair for a family with three boys.

She worked as an assistant event manager for Cricket Newman Designs in South Carolina before coming to Corinth in April after marrying John James. She has Mississippi roots, with her father being from Jackson and her mother from Prentiss. As the CDC director, she also oversees programs including Shop Corinth First, Leadership Alcorn and Junior Leadership Alcorn, and the Senior Connectors retiree group. She also works with the school districts to facilitate the Mississippi Scholars and Mississippi TechMaster programs for the Mississippi Economic Council. James is excited to have a role in building an attractive quality of life for the area. “Corinth as a community has so much to offer, so I am hoping to benefit the community by helping to attract young talent to our area and continue to support and enhance our community livability,” she said.

Lawyers: Forfeiture proposal too high BY JEFF AMY Associated Press

JACKSON — A physician who bribed Mississippi’s former prisons chief said it would be unconstitutionally excessive if their client was ordered to forfeit nearly $1.3 million. Federal prosecutors, though, say that’s exactly the right amount for Dr. Carl Reddix to turn over to the federal government after he paid $187,500 in bribes to then Corrections Commissioner Christopher Epps. U.S. District Judge Daniel P. Jordan III put off Reddix’s sentencing while lawyers argue over the issue. Reddix also faces up to 10 years Please see FORFEIT | 5A

Another $70,000 would go for projects outside municipal boundaries. Voters rejected a similar tax effort five years

ago. The county currently has a 1 percent tax on hotels and motels to support tourism efforts, but it generates far less revenue than a restaurant tax would. The most recent monthly total generated by the tax was $2,537 received in August, according to the Mississippi Department of Revenue. Booneville voters in June approved a 2 percent tourism tax on both restaurants and lodging. Collection of the tax began Sept. 1.

Today’s Highlight in History On September 10, 1813, an American naval force commanded by Oliver H. Perry defeated the British in the Battle of Lake Erie during the War of 1812. (Afterward, Perry sent the message, “We have met the enemy and they are ours.”)

On this date In 1935, Sen. Huey P. Long died in Baton Rouge two days after being shot in the Louisiana state Capitol, allegedly by Dr. Carl Weiss. In 1963, 20 black students entered Alabama public schools following a standoff between federal authorities and Gov. George C. Wallace. In 1979, four Puerto Rican nationalists imprisoned for a 1954 attack on the U.S. House of Representatives and a 1950 attempt on the life of President Harry S. Truman were freed from prison after being granted clemency by President Jimmy Carter. One year ago: John Hinckley Jr., the man who tried to assassinate President Ronald Reagan in 1981, was released from a Washington mental hospital for good.

Across the Region Booneville Grant will fund park improvements BOONEVILLE — A new grant will fund major improvements to the walking trail at Booneville’s West Side Park. Park Director Jon Hill told the Booneville Board of Aldermen Tuesday the city has been approved for a $97,000 Rails and Trails grant to fund renovations to the walking trail. The work will include new culverts to replace several deteriorated ones, renovate the concrete tee boxes for the disc golf course and place outdoor exercise equipment along the trail. The grant requires a local match of $44,140 which can include actual dollars as well

as the use of city personnel and equipment to work on the project. It was noted the match can be paid for through proceeds from the city’s new tourism tax which are specifically designated to promote tourism and parks and recreation.

Selmer AiM begins hosting monthly art exhibits SELMER, Tenn. — Local artist Vicki Cowan is bringing something different to Arts in McNairy, reports the Independent Appeal. The AiM Visual Arts Chairperson hopes to put the spotlight on local talent through art exhibits each month. “There have been some in

the past, but my goal is to do something every month,” said Cowan. Adamsville painter Roger Ward kicked off the monthly exhibits with a reception on Sept. 8 at the Latta Building. Ward’s watercolor, acrylic, collage and framed stained glass art will be displayed through Oct. 2. “I want people to enjoy themselves when they come to the exhibit because art is important in everyone’s life,” said the 79-year-old Ward. “Maybe the show will encourage others to paint themselves.” Ward, married to his wife Carol for 57 years, grew up in New York. The Wards moved to Adamsville 11 years ago. A sciatic nerve problem kept Ward in a wheelchair for four years. “I spent a lot of time just

painting my chair,” he said. A majority of Ward’s work contains bright colors. “People like to see subjects who are colorful,” said Ward. “I love bright colors because they are cheerful.” The former art teacher has been to 120 counties and spent 10 years traveling on a wagon train. It was the couple’s time traveling through Tennessee which prompted them to settle in Adamsville. “I loved it so much, I bought a house the first day here,” said Ward with a smile. Ward is displaying a 40-piece collection at AiM. “A majority of the paintings are things I have seen and places I have been,” he said. “I hope everyone enjoys the show as much as I have in painting the various scenery and subjects.”

Jimmy Spencer, professional geologist for Cook Coggin Engineers, recently spoke to the local Cub Scout Pack 123, Den 4, about geology and the role geologists play. This afternoon meeting was the first step in the process for these Cub Scouts to receive their Earth Rocks Badge. This is an elective badge the Cub Scouts are taking to advance from Webelos 2 to Boy Scouts. It was also a chance for the scouts to get an overview of geology in preparation for a couple of field trips, one to W.M. Browning Cretaceous Fossil Park in Frankstown to dig for shark’s teeth and other fossils, and one to Cathedral Caverns in Alabama to explore the caves. Cub Scouts involved in the seminar were Hayden Latch, Tilden Studdard, Jackson Norman and John Thomas Draper. Cub Scout den leaders Mark and Kristie Studdard were present along with parent Chris Latch.

On taxes and immigration, look to Hungary BUDAPEST — Congress has returned to Washington after another unearned vacation and faces at least two immediate challenges, in addition to the familiar ritual of raising the debt ceiling. Cal President Trump has called Thomas the indecipherable U.S. tax code “self-destructive.” He has Columnist also decided to end the Obamaera program that allows “undocumented” immigrants who came to America as children to gain work permits. Congress would be given six months to replace it. For advice on taxes and immigration, the president and Congress might learn something from Hungary. On Jan. 1, 2017, the government of Prime Minister Viktor Orban lowered the corporate tax rate from 19 percent to 9 percent, the lowest rate among the 28 member states of the European Union. By comparison, the United States’ top marginal tax rate is 38.92 percent, just behind Puerto Rico and the United Arab Emirates. In an interview, Zoltan Kovacs, secretary of state for Public Diplomacy and Relations in Orban’s Second Cabinet, tells me the country’s 15 percent flat tax and lower corporate taxes have -- surprise -- increased government receipts because more people are being hired and they generate additional tax revenue. In the last seven years, Kovacs says, 700,000 new jobs have been created in Hungary, only 150,000 of which are government jobs. The government jobs are mostly for people who had relied in the past on social welfare programs. Even here, he says, they know the meaning of the word “workfare.” The unemployment rate in Hungary is 4.5 percent, according to Kovacs, down from 11.4 percent in 2010 when the current government took power. Economic growth ranges between 3.5 percent and 4 percent, he says. While American debt keeps rising, Hungary’s debt is falling. In 2010 it was 85 percent of GDP. Today it is 74 percent. True, Hungary has a high value added tax of 27 percent, but Kovacs says that is “temporary” (is there any such thing as a temporary tax?) and the government’s goal is to reduce it as revenue continues to increase. Hungary has some of the toughest immigration policies in the European Union. Since 2015, says Kovacs, “400,000 immigrants have passed through” the country. Asked how many stayed, he replies “none,” adding, “They (immigrants) all wanted to go to Western Europe, Germany, Scandinavian countries.” Why? Because, he says, they have welfare programs in those countries and Hungary deliberately does not. The charges for this policy are familiar to Americans: “We are racists, we hate those people who come in,” when in fact, Kovacs says, it is about maintaining Hungary’s culture and way of life. What about the religious component when it comes to migrants from Muslim countries? “We do not underestimate that element,” he responds. “Islam is mostly fundamentalist. Europe is mostly secular, but even for those who don’t believe in God, or go to church. The very culture of Europe is Christianity.” Kovacs suggests the massive flow of mostly Muslim immigrants is “undermining the very foundations of the European countries.” He says even secularism is a threat to those foundations, “but when you bring in a completely different culture -- and it’s not superiority vs. inferiority -- it’s simply about the difference. If you see the experience in other societies, Islam is not integrating. They exist in parallel societies and live by their own rules. We don’t like what we see in France, The Netherlands and Germany.” He might have added that if a nation loses its culture, it loses the nation. The failure of especially Muslim immigrants to assimilate in ways that will preserve their host’s culture is critical. Otherwise, it is not immigration, but invasion, which appears to be happening in Europe, a continent that has a lot of experience when it comes to that practice. Hungary has provided a good example when it comes to tax reform and immigration policy. The U.S. could learn from it.

Prayer for today Heavenly Father, may I live that my spirit may never feel lost from thee; and when I am in great need of thee, even unto death, may I know that thou art very near. Amen.

A verse to share Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters. —Colossians 3:23

Storm shows nation’s colorblind spirit

Hurricane Harvey reveals an America that many in the media seem not to know exists: a multi-ethnic, multiracial country where people, for the most part, get along. For those who claim that President Donald Trump “coarsened” our politics and “set back race relations,” Hurricane Harvey was pretty bad optics. Only weeks ago, some Democrats were counting the days toward Trump’s impeachment and an early departure from the presidency. But last week they saw Trump, in Texas, looking quite presidential in his role as comforter in chief. They saw photos of a president soothing and embracing survivors, no matter their race or gender or sexual orientation. If he is a germaphobe, his fear must be in remission, as he hugged adult survivors and held kids in his arms. Texans, including black ones, appeared pleased by Trump’s visit even as Democrats like Maxine Waters have denounced him as “racist,” calling for his impeachment as Harvey was bearing down on Texas. Imagine this: neighbors helping neighbors, irrespective of race. But really, this is an old American story. Frenchman Alexis de Tocqueville traveled to this fascinating new country called

the United States of America in the 1830s. He wrote about what he considLarry ered an asElder t o n i s h i n g number of Columnist “mutual aid societies,” or charitable organizations and clubs set up to help a community’s needy. Tocqueville wrote: “Americans group together to hold fetes, found seminaries, build inns, construct churches, distribute books, dispatch missionaries to the antipodes. They establish hospitals, prisons, schools by the same method. Finally, if they wish to highlight a truth or develop an opinion by the encouragement of a great example, they form an association. ... “The love and respect of your neighbors must be gained by a long series of small services, hidden deeds of goodness, a persistent habit of kindness, and an established reputation of selflessness. ... I have seen Americans making great and sincere sacrifices for the key common good and a hundred times I have noticed that, when needs be, they almost always gave each other faithful support.” Tocqueville considered

Americans’ remarkable spirit of charitable giving a matter of enlightened selfinterest: “American moralists do not claim that one must sacrifice oneself for one’s fellows because it is a fine thing to do but they are bold enough to say that such sacrifices are as necessary to the man who makes them as to those gaining from them. ... They do not, therefore, deny that every man can pursue his own self-interest but they turn themselves inside out to prove that it is in each man’s interest to be virtuous. ... Enlightened self-love continually leads them to help one another and inclines them to devote freely a part of their time and wealth to the welfare of the state.” America just elected and re-elected a black president. Still, President Barack Obama famously said racism is “still part of (America’s) DNA.” Well, America’s DNA clearly changed, and dramatically so. In 1958, when Gallup asked whether Americans would vote for a black person for president, 54 percent said, “No.” A 2006 Los Angeles Times/ Bloomberg poll found just 3 percent of Republicans and 4 percent of Democrats said they would not vote for a black presidential candidate. In fact, more Ameri-

cans (14 percent) said they would not vote for a Mormon or a 72-year-old than the number who refused to vote for a black president. If America were as racist as many in the media think, why do blacks excel in two of the most competitive fields -- sports and entertainment? On Forbes’ list of highest-earning celebrities, blacks occupy seven of the top 25 slots, including Sean Combs, who clocks in at $130 million annually; Beyonce at $105 million; and Drake at $94 million. On Forbes’ list of highestearning athletes, blacks occupy 13 of the top 25 spots, including LeBron James at $86 million; Kevin Durant at $60 million; and Stephen Curry at $47 million. Watch out, Trump-hating media. As more blacks recognize that Republicans are not out to get them, and they look at cities like Detroit under Democratic leadership, Trump can potentially tip the black vote in his party’s direction more than any Republican since Abraham Lincoln.

Turn off the television, Mr. President Donald Trump is the first president in U.S. history to have been baited into undermining his own negotiating position by negative TV coverage. Less than 12 hours after Attorney General Jeff Sessions explained that the administration is ending DACA -- Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals -- because it’s unconstitutional, Trump tweeted that he might revive the program if Congress doesn’t act. This was an implicit admission that he’s bluffing on DACA, which gives Democrats every incentive not to trade anything meaningful for a codification of the program. Why make any painful concessions to save DACA if the president is loath to truly terminate it? Surely, Trump wasn’t thinking of any strategic or legislative imperatives; he was thinking only of how to push back against commentators calling him heartless. The time of the tweet -- 8:38 p.m. -- suggests that he was watching TV, and reporting has confirmed as much. Which raises the questions: Doesn’t the president

have better things to do than watch political punditry on cable TV shows? As Rich one of the Lowry most powerful people on National the planet, Review why does he care what pundits say about him? And doesn’t he realize that his immigration agenda will get attacked by most commentators no matter what? President Barack Obama famously described himself as having a pen and a phone (that’s how we got DACA). Trump has a phone and a remote control, and often works them in tandem as he criticizes, praises and comments on things said about him on air. Trump is the most unusual combination of a politician who, on the one hand, was elected president by thumbing his nose at media elites and, on the other, is obsessed with what media elites write and say about him. It’s understandable that John McCain, who joked

about the media being his political base, would care about his press clippings. But Trump? Who every other day broadcasts his contempt for journalists and is unafraid to take actions -- pulling out of the Paris climate accord, revoking DACA -- guaranteed to generate media outrage? Trump is experiencing the agony of the mediabashing media figure. He follows what’s said on cable TV more closely than many people who make a living as commentators on cable TV. He sometimes knows more about the industry gossip than people who work in the industry. This reflects his background as a TV star who leveraged his fame into the presidency. But it is, needless to say, highly unusual. George W. Bush didn’t pay much attention to his press coverage, confident that history would get it right and unwilling to get diverted from doing more important things. Barack Obama had an Olympian disregard for political punditry (as for many things). Trump time and again

demonstrates that he is wounded by what he hears on TV. The irony is that he is reflexively incapable of fully absorbing some of the key lessons of his own success: The media are in a bubble, they aren’t nearly as important as they used to be, and whatever they are hysterical about in this six-hour news cycle will soon fade in the next. Trump clearly feeds off the attention and considers the negative coverage, in part, as a motivator. But his obsession with the coverage distorts his judgment. The DACA tweet was an unforced error, or, to be more precise, an error forced by cable chatter he should be ignoring. There are a couple of ways out of the dilemma. Trump can abandon his program and perhaps get some praise for “growing in office” (while destroying his presidency). He can continue, agitated by the coverage, to lash out, sometimes self-defeatingly. Or he can turn off the TV. The right answer is “Click!,” but he’s as unlikely to give up the remote as he is his phone.

New novel is perfect for the animal lover BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER The Bookworm Sez

“Finding Gobi: The True Story of One Little Dog’s Big Journey” by Dion Leonard c.2017, Tommy Nelson / HarperCollins $14.99 / $18.50 Canada 208 pages Sometimes, it’s fun to just run. It’s fun to get your legs pumping, to pound feet on pavement, and pump your arms until your head clears. The faster you go, the better it gets and that can make you really happy. And, as in the new book, “Finding Gobi” by Dion Leonard, if you’re lucky, it can also make you a new best friend. Dion Leonard loved to run. Unfortunately, he didn’t feel like he was good at it anymore. Not long ago, he’d hurt his leg and, much as he wanted to get back into marathon running, it wasn’t easy. Still, he’d signed up to run 70 miles through China. Maybe that old joy would return. And then Dion saw the dog. She was kind of scruffy, with a funny-looking tail and hair around her nose that made her look like she had a beard. He patted her and sent her off

but when the race started, she started running right next to him! Dion didn’t give the dog much thought, but she paced him until that night at runner’s camp, then she curled up next to him in his tent. The next day, the little dog ran alongside Dion, up rocks and across sand. She never got tired, and he started to like having this companion on the marathon. At the end of the day, he made arrangements to get her across the most dangerous part of the race; those little paws simply wouldn’t be able to make it across the Gobi desert. Gobi. There. The dog had a name. By the end of the marathon, in which Dion did exceptionally well, he had fallen in love with the little brown dog and vowed to take her home to Scotland with him. That, he quickly learned, was easier said than done: there was yards of paperwork, all kinds of tests, quarantine, and several airplane rides — but those wasn’t the hardest parts. Someone, it seemed, wanted to make a profit off Dion’s quest to bring his dog home. And oth-

Boondocks warriors demand respect BY JIMMY C. REED Columnist

The word “boondocks” describes most Mississippi Delta locations, especially Dunleith, where I grew up. Its remoteness provided an ideal environment for a secret society known as the Dunleithians. To attain membership in this exclusively male warrior cult, boys must complete several grueling requirements. First, they had to read The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn and pass an oral examination administered by the club’s elders, all fifteen to eighteen years of age. Next, candidates must resort to fisticuffs if necessary in defense of a classmate who was being harassed by the school bully. The third requirement — kissing a girl — was considered the worst of all. Once these three requirements had been met, the warrior wannabe still faced the most daunting hurdle of all: To prove beyond doubt that he possessed a fighter’s fearless fortitude, he must perform a life-threatening feat. If the candidate survived this event, he was eligible for the final rite of passage, in which the fiercest, most battle-hardened Dunleithian, Chief Bloody Knife, would unsheathe his genuine obsidian dagger bought at

the Five & Dime, slash his and the candidate’s arms, and press the wounds together. This solemn ritual granted blood acceptance into the warrior fraternity. The Dunleithians mustered for war councils once or twice a month, depending on how often their parents allowed them to camp out. While roasting marshmallows, they discussed future raids on “sodbusters” who had settled in the Dunleithians’ dominion. During one of these war councils, I appeared before Chief Bloody Knife, who knew that I had completed all but one requirement, including (ugh!) kissing a girl. “Candidate Reed, are you ready to cast off your puerile trappings and ascend to warrior status?” “Yes, O Mighty Chief,” I answered, although I had no idea what puerile trappings were. “What life-threatening feat will prove your worthiness to join our ranks?” “I will ride Tom Tripe.” The elders gasped in disbelief. Tom was an enormous, bellicose Brahman bull that belonged to Beulah and Bernice Bailey, spinster sisters who owned nearby B & B Ranch. I didn’t think my feat would be too dangerous. When Tom was resting, rising to his feet required

slow, strenuous effort. I planned to sneak up on him, hop on his back, remain astraddle while he struggled to lift his bulky body, hop off, and flee unhurt. In the wee hours of the fateful night, Tom was slumbering peacefully beneath an oak tree. With heart pounding, I tiptoed up to him and leaped on his back. Oak wood is much harder than a boy’s head. When I regained consciousness back at the campsite, I was told that Tom didn’t take much time getting to his feet. In fact, the roaring, snorting monster was afoot in nanoseconds, and catapulted his rider into a thick oak limb. Fortunately, I escaped with only minor wounds — two black eyes, a divot of missing hair, and a bulging Frankenstein forehead, injuries certifying that I was now a full-fledged member of the Delta’s most legendary band of warriors: the Dunleithians.

yet, “Finding Gobi” is too charming to pass by. Who can resist a tale of determination against all odds, cost, and logistics, when it comes to the love of a dog? Few could, that’s for sure, but be prepared

for the questions that this child’s version of a grownup book will launch: author Dion Leonard writes subtly of his own issues at the beginning of the race, of a non-dog-loving culture, and of fame that turns strangely threatening. Because this is a young readers edition,

full explanations may go lacking; also, language may be pretty advanced. The best solution to those issues is to read “Finding Gobi” along with your 8-to-12-yearold. You won’t be sorry. As much as you love your dog, you’ll “get” this book, so make a run on it.

services and that there’s no evidence the bribes causes Mississippi to pay more than it should have. Johnson said Reddix was paid about $467,000 by Health Assurance during the period in question, and never saw $1.3 million in proceeds. “The excessiveness of this additional fine is also demonstrated by the fact that it’s based on an economic fiction and bears no relationship to any actual benefit received by Mr. Reddix,” Johnson wrote, saying the amount demanded is roughly half the net worth of Reddix and his wife. He argued that if the court goes through with the forfeiture, it should consider a lesser fine and prison sentence. He also argued that the government must identify particular property to be forfeited, and can’t just order Reddix to pay a certain amount. “Mr. Reddix does not own or possess any of the proceeds, or any real property or personal property traceable to the subject violation,” Johnson wrote. “Therefore, since the government has not adequately identified the specific

property that is subject to forfeiture, then there is no property for this court to order forfeited.” Prosecutors say there’s no problem with Jordan ordering Reddix to pay, even if he doesn’t have cash or property on hand. “Reddix’s possession is not the relevant inquiry,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer Case wrote in a brief filed Friday. “The relevant inquiry is whether the proceeds were illgotten. If so, the full extent of the ill-gotten gains must be forfeited.” Otherwise, prosecutors warn, criminals could avoid forfeiture by disposing of property. Case denied that the forfeiture is unconstitutionally excessive. “This is far from ‘grossly disproportionate’ to the gravity of his offense,” Case wrote. “To the contrary. It is exactly proportionate: Reddix must disgorge only those monies which he received from his illegal bribery scheme.”

FORFEIT CONTINUED FROM 2A

in prison and suggested fines in a range of $15,000 to $150,000. Reddix agreed to forfeit money when he pleaded guilty to one count of bribery in June, but balked when probation officers suggested such a high total in a report to Jordan. The amount demanded is half of the $2.5 million net benefit that Health Assurance LLC received from its $32 million in contracts with the Mississippi Department of Corrections. That calculation is not the same as profit. Instead the government subtracted the company’s $29 million in direct costs from $32 million in revenue. Reddix is liable for half the benefit because he owns half of the company. Lawyer Robert Johnson III wrote Sept. 1 that the number neither reflects the harm caused, nor does it ensure proportionality, saying it violates the prohibition against excessive fines in the U.S. Constitution’s Eighth Amendment. Johnson argued that Health Assurance provided agreed medical

Hurricane Irma puts bull’s-eye on Tampa BY JAY REEVES AND TAMARA LUSH Associated Press

NAPLES, Fla. — Hurricane Irma’s leading edge bent palm trees and spit rain as the storm swirled toward Florida with 120 mph winds Saturday on a projected new track that could expose Tampa — not Miami — to a direct hit. Tampa has not taken a head-on blow from a major hurricane in nearly a century. An estimated 70,000 Floridians huddled in shelters as Irma closed in on the Florida Keys, where it was expected to roll ashore this morning and begin making its way up the state’s west coast. “This is your last chance to make a good decision,” Gov. Rick Scott warned residents in Florida’s evacuation zones, which encompassed a staggering 6.4 million people, or more than 1 in 4 people in the state. Earlier in the day, Irma executed a westward swing toward Florida’s Gulf coast that appeared to spare the Miami metropolitan area of the catastrophic direct hit that forecasters had been warning of for days. Still, Miami was not

out of danger. Because the storm is 350 to 400 miles wide, forecasters said the metro area of 6 million people could still get life-threatening hurricane winds and storm surge of 4 to 6 feet. Irma — at one time the most powerful hurricane ever recorded in the open Atlantic — left more than 20 people dead across the Caribbean as it steamed toward the U.S. It was chugging toward Florida as a Category 3, with winds down considerably from their peak of 185 mph earlier in the week. But it was expected to strengthen again before hitting the Sunshine State. Meteorologists predicted Irma would plow into the Tampa Bay area by Monday morning. Tampa has not been struck by a major hurricane since 1921, when its population was about 10,000, National Hurricane Center spokesman Dennis Feltgen said. Now the area has around 3 million people. The new course threatens everything from Tampa Bay’s bustling twin cities of Tampa and St. Petersburg to Naples’ mansion- and yacht-lined canals, Sun City Center’s retirement homes, and Sanibel Is-

land’s shell-filled beaches. The course change caught many people off guard and triggered a major round of evacuations in the Tampa area. Many businesses had yet to put plywood or hurricane shutters on their windows, and some locals grumbled about the forecast. “For five days, we were told it was going to be on the east coast, and then 24 hours before it hits, we’re now told it’s coming up the west coast,” said Jeff Beerbohm, a 52-year-old entrepreneur in St. Petersburg. “As usual, the weatherman, I don’t know why they’re paid.” Nearly the entire Florida coastline remained under hurricane watches and warnings, and leery residents watched a projected track that could still shift to spare, or savage, parts of the state. Forecasters warned of storm surge as high as 15 feet. “This is going to sneak up on people,” said Jamie Rhome, head of the hurricane center’s storm surge unit. With the new forecast, Pinellas County, home to St. Petersburg, ordered 260,000 people to leave, while Georgia scaled

back evacuation orders for some coastal residents. Motorists heading inland from the Tampa area were allowed to drive on the shoulders. On Saturday morning, the state was already beginning to feel Irma’s effects. More than 75,000 people had lost power, mostly in and around Miami and Fort Lauderdale, as the wind began gusting. By Saturday night, winds near hurricane force were recorded in the Keys. In Key West, 60-yearold Carol Walterson Stroud sought refuge in a senior center with her husband, granddaughter and dog. The streets were nearly empty, shops were boarded up and the wind started to blow. “Tonight, I’m sweating,” she said. “Tonight, I’m scared to death.” At Germain Arena not far from Fort Myers, on Florida’s southwestern corner, thousands waited in a snaking line for hours to gain a spot in the hockey venue-turned-shelter. “We’ll never get in,” Jamilla Bartley lamented as she stood in the parking lot. The governor activated all 7,000 members of the Florida National Guard, and 30,000 guardsmen from elsewhere were on

standby. In the Orlando area, Walt Disney World, Universal Studios and Sea World all prepared to close Saturday. The Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa and Orlando airports shut down. The Sunshine Skyway Bridge spanning Tampa Bay was closed. Given its mammoth size and strength and its projected course, it could prove one of the most devastating hurricanes ever to hit Florida and inflict damage on a scale not seen here in 25 years. Hurricane Andrew smashed into suburban Miami in 1992 with winds topping 165 mph, damaging or blowing apart over 125,000 homes. The damage in Florida totaled $26 billion, and at least 40 people died. Boat captain Ray Scarborough was 12 when Andrew hit and remembers lying on the floor in a hall as the storm nearly ripped the roof off his house. This time, he and his girlfriend left their home in Big Pine Key and fled north for Orlando. “They said this one is going to be bigger than Andrew. When they told me that,” he said, “that’s all I needed to hear.”

Equifax breach sows chaos Mexicans mourn victims among 143M Americans from devastating quake Associated Press

NEW YORK — A day after credit-reporting company Equifax disclosed that “criminals” had stolen vital data about 143 million Americans, it had somehow managed to leave much of the public in the dark about their exposure, how they should protect themselves and what Equifax planned to do for those affected. The breach is unquestionably serious. It exposed crucial pieces of personal data that criminals could use to commit identity theft, from Social Security numbers and birthdates to address histories and legal names. That data — the “crown jewels of personal information,” in the words of independent credit analyst John Ulzheimer — can’t be changed, and once it’s in circulation, it’s basically out there forever. But Equifax’s response has satisfied almost no one. Consumers complained of jammed phone lines and uninformed representatives. An Equifax website set up to help people determine their exposure looked like a scam to some, and provided inconsistent and unhelpful information to others. Congress planned hearings. Anders Ohlsson, a 47-year-old technical manager in Scotts Valley, California, called a hotline multiple times and was disconnected; entered the last six digits of his Social Security number into Equifax’s emergency website; and finally spoke with a call center manager. He still doesn’t know whether his information has been compromised. “I don’t think I’ve gotten hold of a person that actually cares,” he said. “Now they’re fumbling to tell people what’s going on. But they really don’t know what’s going on.” Equifax plays a key role in the financial industry, making this breach more alarming than previous ones at Yahoo or retailers. The company is a storehouse of personal information, like how

much people owe on their houses and whether they have court judgments against them. Lenders rely on the information collected by three big credit bureaus — Equifax, TransUnion and Experian — to help them decide on financing for homes, cars and credit cards. Credit checks are sometimes done by employers when deciding whom to hire for a job.

What you can do Even if you don’t know if you’re one of the 143 million, you might want to consider extreme protective measures. Your strongest immediate option involves placing a credit freeze on their files with the major credit bureaus. That locks down your information, making it impossible for outsiders to open new accounts and bank cards in your name. But it also blocks you from opening new accounts, and might involve fees depending on the state you live in. “The credit freeze is the nuclear option of credit protection,” said Matt Schulz, an analyst with CreditCards.com. “But in the wake of a breach this big, it’s worth considering.” You should also be more diligent about checking your credit reports, where you can see if anyone has opened unauthorized accounts in your name. You can get those files for free once a year from the three major bureaus; use the official site, annualcreditreport.com . It’s best to spread those requests out by getting one every four months. And you’ll need to be ready to keep checking for a while — potentially years. “Bad guys can be very patient with data,” Schulz said. If you’re not ready for the freeze, Ulzheimer recommends setting up fraud alerts on your files. These force creditors to contact you directly, usually by phone, for approval before approving an account.

JUCHITAN, Mexico — Slowmoving funeral processions converged on Juchitan’s cemeteries from all directions on Saturday, so many that they sometimes caused temporary gridlock when they met at intersections. A monster earthquake and a Gulf coast hurricane have combined to take at least 67 lives in Mexico, and no place suffered more than the Oaxaca state city of Juchitan, where 37 died as buildings collapsed in the magnitude 8.1 temblor. The graveyard swelled with mourners and blaring serenades for the dead — the sounds of snare drums, saxophones and sobbing. Pallbearers carried the caskets around rubble the quake had knocked from the simple concrete crypts. Jittery amid continued aftershocks, friends and relatives of the deceased had hushed conversations in the Zapotec language as they stood under umbrellas for shade from the beating sun. Paulo Cesar Escamilla Matus and his family held a memorial service for his mother, Reynalda Matus Martinez, in the living room of her home, where relatives quietly wept beside her body. The 64-year-old woman was working the night shift at a neighborhood pharmacy when the quake struck Thursday night, collapsing the building. “All the weight of the second floor fell on top of her,” said her son, who rushed to the building and found her under rubble. He and neighbors tried to dig her out, but weren’t able to recover her body until the next morning when civil defense workers brought a backhoe that could lift what had trapped her. Fearful of crime, the pharmacy kept its doors locked, and Escamilla Matus wondered if

that had cost his mother the time she needed to escape. Scenes of mourning were repeated over and over again in Juchitan, where a third of the city’s homes collapsed or were uninhabitable, President Enrique Pena Nieto said late Friday in an interview with the Televisa news network. Part of the city hall collapsed. The remains of brick walls and clay tile roofs cluttered streets as families dragged mattresses onto sidewalks to spend a second anxious night sleeping outdoors. Some were newly homeless, while others feared further aftershocks could topple their cracked adobe dwellings. Rescuers searched for survivors with sniffer dogs and used heavy machinery at the main square to pull rubble away from city hall, where a missing police officer was believed to be inside. The man’s body was found Saturday afternoon in a collapsed passageway between city hall offices and a market, according to a municipal police officer who was guarding the site. The officer declined to give his name because he was not officially authorized to give information to reporters. The city’s civil defense coordinator, Jose Antonio Marin Lopez, said similar searches had been going on all over the area. Teams found bodies in the rubble, but the highlight was pulling four people, including two children, alive from the completely collapsed Hotel Del Rio, where one woman died. “The priority continues to be the people,” Marin said. Larissa Garcia Ruiz was grateful to escape with only a broken arm when her house collapsed as she and her family slept. “I only woke up when I heard screaming,” said the 24-yearold cradling her wrapped arm.

Smoke clears in U.S. West while storms move through BY KEITH RIDLER Associated Press

BOISE, Idaho — Storms brought cooler and wetter weather into the Western and Northwestern U.S. this weekend, breaking up a temperature inversion that had blanketed much of the region with acrid smoke from dozens of wildfires. Officials at the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise said Saturday they expected fire activity to decrease over the next several weeks. Center spokeswoman Kari Cobb says air quality should improve as the smoketrapping inversion breaks up. “We should see it lifting more today,” she said Saturday. “It’s predicted to be mostly gone by tomorrow in most of the West.” She said forecasters expect storms to bring some lightning and winds to 30 mph, notably in Montana, but that rain and higher humidity should decrease the chances of new fires. The center says there are 67 active large wildfires being fought. Firefighters in droughtstricken Montana used sprinklers and hoses on Saturday to try to protect strategic locations near some of the over two dozen wildfires burning in the state that have forced more people from their homes. A “rain for rent” system was being used in Glacier National Park, including around Lake McDonald Lodge, to increase humidity in the immediate area. That means firefighters were using sprinklers to recharge a swamp on the perimeter of a 176-square-mile fire burning near Seeley Lake. The land is too soggy to support bulldozers used to build containment lines but not wet enough to reliably stop the flames from advancing beyond it. About a dozen people were ordered to evacuate their homes Friday night after very warm and dry conditions pushed a 37-square-mile fire near Lincoln toward them.

DNA lab techniques now under fire NEW YORK — Two techniques for analyzing DNA evidence that were once considered cutting edge are now under fire amid questions about their reliability. Both techniques have already been phased out in favor of new technology. But their use by the New York City Medical Examiner’s office has prompted defense lawyers to ask a state agency that oversees the renowned forensic lab there to investigate. Attorneys for the Legal Aid Society and Federal Defenders of New York wrote in a recent letter that the techniques were flawed. One technique was developed by the medical examiner’s lab.

Philosophy taught through Harry Potter ST. CLOUD, Minn. — A Minnesota university is mixing the world of Harry Potter into philosophy teachings. The St. Cloud Times reported that St. Cloud State University professor Carolyn Hartz is applying Aristotle’s work on friendship to character relationships in J.K. Rowling’s books about boy wizard Harry Potter. The class discusses ethics, logic, love, the human soul and nature while examining the stories. Miles Nelson is a second-year student who took the Harry Potter course last spring. He said Rowling’s stories provide understandable examples of philosophy concepts that can be difficult to comprehend. He said the class

also showed the depth in Rowling’s work that many people may not have realized if they read the books when they were children.

Menendez trial factoring into race TRENTON, N.J. — U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez’s corruption trial is driving a wedge in the New Jersey governor’s race. The GOP candidate hoping to succeed Republican Gov. Chris Christie is calling for the Democratic senator to resign if convicted, while the Democratic front-runner in the race is dodging the question and expressing support for Menendez. The issue emerged when the trial started Wednesday, and coincided with a national Republican campaign to pressure Democrats to call for Menendez’s resignation if a federal jury in Newark convicts him. Menendez said he never “dishonored” his public office. Prosecutors said Menendez accepted lavish gifts from Florida eye doctor Salomon Melgen in return for help with a multimillion-dollar Medicare dispute and securing visas for his foreign girlfriends. Both men deny any wrongdoing.

ter districts would bear all the costs, a federal audit said Friday. California law and an agreement by the water districts dictate that California’s politically influential water districts are supposed to bear the costs of Brown’s $16 billion proposal to re-engineer California’s shipment of water by building dozens of miles of tunnels to tap into the state’s largest river, the Sacramento. In 2011, Brown and the then-secretary of the Interior Department reaffirmed that pledge of using no taxpayer funds in a joint public statement supporting the tunnels plan. Other top California officials have repeatedly insisted no tax dollars were being spent on the tunnels, often called a legacy project of the 79-year-old governor, now in his last term.

Boxer, long-serving politician, dies NEWTON, Mass. — A boxer who became a politician and the longest-serving state auditor in Massachusetts history has died. Joe DeNucci was 78. DeNucci had suffered from Alzheimer’s disease and died Friday at his home in Newton. DeNucci was a successful boxer in his younger days before turning to the equally rough-and-tumble world of state politics. The Democrat served as a state representative and later held the office of state auditor for 24 years. Throughout his political career he promised supporters he was in their corner and said he was honored by the trust they placed in him.

Judge: Repair or demolish building MCCOMB — A Mississippi judge is demanding that the owner of a partially collapsed building take action to renovate or demolish it. The top of the 97-yearold Kramer Roof building in McComb collapsed July 23. The downtown structure held a church and a performing arts center. Terrance Alexander owned the building, but sold it months ago to a limited liability company that he controls. The Enterprise Journal reports Alexander appeared in court Thursday and had a tense exchange with Municipal Judge Brandon Frazier. Alexander said he doesn’t have money to repair the building, so he plans to tear it down. The judge showed frustration after city officials said Alexander had not applied for demolition permits. Alexander said his insurer said he couldn’t demolish the building until inspectors determine why it partially collapsed.

Sculpture honors slain DSU professor CLEVELAND — Delta State University has dedicated a sculpture to a history professor killed in a 2015 campus shooting. The university placed the 8-foot steel and rope statue, Broken Arrow, in downtown Cleveland in August. It’s part of the 3,600-student university’s Hazel and Jimmy Sanders Sculpture Garden. The statue by Delta State graduate Lawson King honors Ethan Schmidt, killed in his office by instructor Shannon Lamb. Lamb earlier killed a woman he lived with in Gautier, then killed himself. Delta State Art Department Chair Michael Stanley, in a news release, notes a broken arrow is a Native American peace symbol. Schmidt studied American Indian history. King says he felt connected to Schmidt because his own father died in a shooting, and because King taught with Schmidt’s wife at a local school.

Superintendent of prison is retiring PARCHMAN — The leader of Mississippi’s oldest and largest prison is preparing to retire. Earnest Lee has been superintendent of Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman since May 1, 2012. His last day will be Friday. Corrections Commissioner Pelicia Hall says in a news release that Lee has been “a capable leader in a challenging

job during challenging times.” Marshal Turner will serve as interim superintendent at Parchman. He is currently a warden at South Mississippi Correctional Institution. The Parchman prison sits on 18,000 acres in Sunflower County. It can hold up to 3,590 inmates and now has about 3,360.

Still no deal on rates for Kemper plant JACKSON — Regulators and Mississippi Power Co. on Friday again failed to agree on how much money customers should pay for a power plant. The impasse remained after the unit of Atlanta-based Southern Co. rejected a fresh offer from the Public Utilities Staff on rates for the Kemper County power plant. In August, the staff and Mississippi Power differed by $250 million or more on how much in assets customers should pay for Kemper. The commission ordered them to continue negotiations. Staff Executive Director Virden Jones said Friday that staff, in conjunction with some other interested parties he declined to name, made another offer, but the utility rejected it. Public Service Commissioner Cecil Brown said that offer would have allowed Mississippi Power to collect roughly an additional $110 million in assets. “From the staff point of view, they conceded some the difference that they were apart, but the company wasn’t interested in that,” said Brown, a Democrat representing the Central District

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Amazon, bursting out of its Seattle headquarters, is hunting for a second home. Must haves: A prime location, close to transit, with plenty of space to grow. The company said Thursday it will spend more than $5 billion to build another headquarters in North America to house as many as 50,000 employees. It plans to also stay in its sprawling Seattle headquarters, with the new space â&#x20AC;&#x153;a full equalâ&#x20AC;? to that, said founder and CEO Jeff Bezos. Amazonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement highlights how fast the e-commerce giant is expanding, and its need to find fresh talent to fuel that growth. With the lure of so many new jobs, city and state leaders were already lining up Thursday to say they planned to apply. Among them: Chicago, Philadelphia and Toronto. They have a little more than a month to do so through a special website , and Amazon said it will make a decision next year. Its requirements could rule out some places: Amazon wants to be near a metropolitan area with more than a million people; be able to attract top technical talent; be within 45 minutes of an international airport; have direct access to mass transit; and be able to expand that headquarters to as much as 8 million square feet

in the next decade. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about the same size as its current home in Seattle, which has 33 buildings, 23 restaurants and houses 40,000 employees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so big in Seattle, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re running out of room,â&#x20AC;? said Kevin Sharer, a corporate strategy professor at Harvard Business School. Amazon said it will hire up to 50,000 new full-time employees at the second headquarters over the next 15 years, and they would make an average pay of more than $100,000 a year. The company is hoping for something else from its second hometown: tax breaks, grants and other incentives. A section of the proposal that outlines those says â&#x20AC;&#x153;the initial cost and the ongoing cost of doing business are critical decision drivers.â&#x20AC;? Brad Badertscher, an accounting professor at the University of Notre Dame, said the public search appeared to be a way to start a bidding war among cities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was like an open letter to city leaders saying, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Who wants Amazon and all our jobs?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Badertscher said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is Jeff Bezos doing what he does best: adding shareholder value and getting the most bang for the buck.â&#x20AC;? Amazon gets tax breaks when cities compete for its massive warehouses, where it packs and ships orders. The company re-

ceived at least $241 million in subsidies from local and state government after opening facilities in 29 different U.S. cities in 2015 and 2016, according to an analysis by Good Jobs First, a group that tracks economic development deals. In explaining why it was holding a public process, Amazon said on its site that it wanted â&#x20AC;&#x153;to find a city that is excited to work with us and where our customers, employees, and the community can all benefit.â&#x20AC;? Bezos has crowdsourced major decisions before â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in June, just before Amazon announced its plan to

buy organic grocer Whole Foods, the billionaire took to Twitter seeking ideas for a philanthropic strategy to give away some of his fortune. And tech companies have been known to set places in competition with each other: In vying to land Googleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ultra-fast broadband network, many cities used stunts and gimmickry to get the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention. Topeka even informally renamed itself â&#x20AC;&#x153;Google, Kansas.â&#x20AC;? Amazon.com Inc. said its search is open to any metropolitan area in North America, but declined to say how open it was to going outside the United States.

Nestle buys vegetarian meals maker Associated Press

GENEVA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The maker of Hot Pockets wants to go vegetarian, Californiastyle. Nestle, the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest food and drinks company, is buying husbandand-wife startup Sweet Earth, which sells frozen burritos stuffed with quinoa, beans and other vegetarian ingredients. The Swiss company, whose frozen food brands include Lean Cuisine and Stoufferâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, said Thursday that the deal will increase its presence in the fastgrowing market for plantbased foods. Nestle, which is based in Vevey, Switzerland, declined to specify the cost of the deal. Packaged food companies like Nestle have been looking for ways to appeal to consumers who are favoring fresher foods and are worried about the ingredients they eat. Nestle recently invested in online meals company Freshly, which delivers cooked meals to customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doorsteps that it says are gluten-free and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t contain refined sugars. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This segment has been identified for us globally as a key area a few years ago,â&#x20AC;? said Wayne England, head of strategic food operations at Nestle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Giving the world better access to vegetarian-based or plantbased food is something we want to do.â&#x20AC;? Nestle USA said Sweet Earth, which reportedly had $25 mlllion in revenue last year, will remain a stand-alone business, and stay at its headquarters in Moss Landing, California. Sweet Earth co-founder Kelly Swette, who will continue to run the company with co-founder and husband Brian, said in an interview: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe in redefining frozen food.â&#x20AC;?

Lack of financial planning leaves an uncertain future

D E A R ABBY: My parents are in their 80s. Both are of sound mind and body. H o w e v e r, Abigail they never for Van Buren saved their retirement and Dear Abby never talked to a financial adviser to help them make financial decisions. Dad receives a pension, but upon his death, Mom will receive nothing. This is the way they set it up years ago. They own their home, and that’s about it for their assets. Mom has told me several times they should be in our will instead of others we have chosen. My husband and I have saved for our retirement with our employers over the years. Because my parents haven’t done it, we don’t feel it is our responsibility to provide for their old age. Should we contact our financial adviser, who will get a chuckle out of this? — NOT OUR FINANCIAL PROBLEM DEAR NOT YOUR PROBLEM: Your financial adviser may, indeed, get a chuckle out of it — but it’s not funny. The idea that you should put your

aged parents in your will is farfetched. The odds of your predeceasing them are not promising. The next time your mother suggests it, point out that if Dad dies, the house will have to be sold so that she is provided for. If she dies first, he should be fine financially.

DEAR ABBY: My husband had a heart attack last year, and since then he has become extremely volatile. He explodes for no reason and threatens me. He does not want me to talk about it to his doctor, and he’s scaring me regularly. I don’t know what to do. I think it may have to do with all the medications he’s taking, but I’m not “allowed” to talk to the doctor. He is moody and making me fearful. Help. — SCARED IN NEW JERSEY DEAR SCARED: Obviously, something isn’t right. Call the doctor anyway. If the doctor refuses to talk with you, write him a letter about the changes in your husband’s behavior, his explosive temper and your concern that it might be medicationrelated. If, after that, nothing changes, talk with a licensed mental health professional about what has been going on. If you feel you are in danger, call 911. You should not have to live in fear, and if this isn’t resolved, you may have to leave the marriage for your own safety.

DEAR ABBY: I have been living in my current home for eight years and frequently receive letters addressed to previous occupants, including medical bills and notifications from the DMV. (I don’t open them; the envelopes have return addresses.) How long am I obligated to stick the letter back in the mailbox with “Return to sender”? I’m getting the impression the former occupants use this false address to avoid paying their bills. It makes me feel dirty and complicit when their mail comes to me. — COMPLICIT IN MARYLAND DEAR COMPLICIT: Why are you jumping to the conclusion that what’s happening is nefarious? The former occupants may have forgotten to turn in or renew their change of address notice, or change the address on their driver’s license. Stop feeling guilty for something that really has nothing to do with you. The next time one of those envelopes arrives, instead of writing, “Return to sender,” write: “Not at this address.” Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s not the situation that’s stumping you; it’s the way you’re looking at it. Which belief is causing you trouble? Root it out. Misconceptions are obstacles greater than any physical barrier to your happiness. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll get quite a lot done in short bursts of time. It’s a matter of being organized enough to have your task close at hand when things get slow -the equivalent of bringing your book to the waiting room of the doctor’s office. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Tourism isn’t just for travel. In a way, making a friend is like visiting a place you don’t live. And each visit, you get to know your way around that place a little better. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re deeply in love with the essence of someone, although the rest could be driving you bonkers today. Don’t take it too seriously. This is just a natural part of being close to someone. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You

won’t have as much time to solve a problem as you might like. Given the restraints, you’ll have to either opt out or shoot from the hip. If you choose the improvisational option, it will be uncomfortable, but you’ll learn more. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Though hard work can accomplish much, so much more will be accomplished as a direct result of your confidence, ease and a laid-back attitude. Start by asking yourself what is really worth doing. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Building relationships effectively will require a certain coolness in your approach. Don’t be in a rush to add to other people’s lives. Find out what they really need first. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Words can be like keys. Some fit better than others, depending on the lock. You’ll learn what to say to express yourself more precisely and be received with more openness. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). People open up for differ-

ent reasons. Some want attention. Some want sympathy. The best reason to open up is that it’s part of the natural, slow progression of a relationship headed for a more meaningful connection. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Instead of just mentally noting the improvements you want to make, also write them down. There’s no harm in accounting for the fantasy version, too. It’s better to think too big than too small. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). One thing that will stop you from wanting to spend time with people in the future is sharing too much with them in the present. For today, keep your cards close to the vest. There’s no good reason to divulge. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). People will want to know your story, so you’ll get the chance to talk about yourself. Be sure to give a positive takeaway to the ending of your personal anecdotes — easier to do when you’ve thought it through and assigned one.

Pattersons 5 TD’s lead Rebels win The Associated Press

OXFORD — Mississippi quarterback Shea Patterson had a simple explanation for Saturday’s record-breaking performance in a 45-23 win over UT Martin. “It’s crazy,” said Patterson, who finished 32-of-43 passing for five touchdowns and a single-game record of 489 yards. In two games, Patterson has thrown for 918 yards, nine touchdowns and connected with 10 different receivers. The list of Ole Miss quarterbacks is impressive, including Charlie Conerly, Jake Gibbs, Archie Manning, Eli Manning, and last year’s previous record-holder, Chad Kelly. In the process of moving to the top of the list, Patterson directed the Rebels (2-

0) to five consecutive scoring drives, accounting for 31 points that spanned the second and third quarters. “To be mentioned with anything connected to Eli and Archie (Manning) is an honor,” Patterson said. “No one person can break a record. It takes more, so I just thank my teammates. That’s what makes us dangerous, we have so many weapons.” A.J. Brown had touchdown catches of 58 and 2 yards, finishing with 156 yards on eight receptions. DeMarkus Lodge, Jordan Wilkins and D.K. Metcalf added scoring receptions of 28, 16 and 2 yards, respectively. The Rebels finished 543 total yards. “Shea keeps getting better and we made plays,” Mississippi coach Matt Luke said.

“I thought we came out slow, but late in the second quarter and in the third quarter, we started to execute. We can improve even more. We left some yards and points out on the field.” UT Martin (1-1) led 16-7 in the second quarter before the decisive five-series scoring outburst to settle the issue midway through the third quarter. Quarterback Troy Cook, Marquez Grayson and Ladarius Galloway scored on runs of 2, 2 and 4 yards, respectively. “I’m proud of our players. I thought they played hard and showed toughness,” UT Martin coach Jason Simpson said. “Give them credit. They have an outstanding quarterback. You kind of have to pick your poison on what you

want to focus on stopping.” Patterson’s pace was impressive as each of the seven scoring drives took less than 3:26, including four that were finished in less than two minutes. “If we go 75 miles per hour this week, we’d want to go 85 next week and eventually get to 100 miles per hour,” Patterson said. “We always want to get a little faster. There’s always room for improvement.”

Mississippi State tops Louisiana Tech BY DAVID BRANDT Associated Press

RUSTON, La. — Nick Fitzgerald threw for three touchdowns and ran for two more to lead Mississippi State over Louisiana Tech 5721 on Saturday night. Mississippi State defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons scored two touchdowns, one after blocking a punt and recovering the ball in the end zone, and another after recovering a fumble and running 90 yards for the touchdown. It was the first time a Mississippi State defensive player scored two touchdowns in a game since Jonathan Banks in 2009. Mississippi State’s relatively carefree evening of football didn’t start out so well. Louisiana Tech jumped out to a 9-0 lead, partly thanks to an errant Fitzgerald throw that was intercepted by Amik Robertson and returned to Mississippi State’s 2-yard line. Two plays later Kam

Mississippi State quarterback Nick Fitzgerald and the Bulldogs traveled to Ruston (La.) last night to face Louisiana Tech at Ailett Stadium. McKnight ran for a 1-yard touchdown. That’s where the good news ended for Louisiana Tech. Mississippi State scored the next 36 points to push ahead 36-14 at halftime. Fitzgerald scored on a 44-yard run just

33 seconds into the second half to push the advantage to 43-14 and erase any doubt about the outcome.

The takeaway Mississippi State: It was a rough start for the Bulldogs

but they recovered in a hurry. The defense and special teams were outstanding while erasing the early 9-0 deficit and then the offense eventually found its footing. A much tougher task awaits next Saturday against LSU. Louisiana Tech: A great start faded quickly for Louisiana Tech, which couldn’t regain the momentum once it was lost on Saturday night. The Bulldogs struggled to throw the ball after some early success and once they became one-dimensional the Mississippi State defense was dominant.

Up next Mississippi State hosts No. 12 LSU in its Southeastern Conference opener next Saturday. Louisiana Tech travels to face Western Kentucky in its Conference USA opener next Saturday.

The story behind the lanky wood stork The wood stork is a large wading bird. Though it was once known as the “wood ibis,” it is not really an ibis. Wood storks are tall and white with long legs and featherless, dark-gray heads. They have long, thick, downcurved bills and extensive black flight feathers. Wood storks weigh up to 6 pounds with a body length up to 45 inches and a wingspan stretching up to 6 feet. The wood stork has a life span between 11 and 18 years in the wild. The wood stork is the only stork that presently breeds in North America. Here in the United States, there is a small endangered breeding

population. The wood stork breeds during the late winter dry season when its fish prey are concentrated in shrinking pools. A soaring bird, the wood stork flies with its neck and legs extended. It forages where lowering water levels concentrate fish in wetlands. The wood stork walks slowly and steadily in shallow water seeking its prey. It hunts small fish, tadpoles, frogs

and crayfish by wading with its bill open just under the water’s surface, snapping it shut in as little as 25 milliseconds when encountering prey. Favoring cypress trees in marshes and swamps, the wood stork builds a large nest in the top of a tree using sticks, vines and moss. These storks nest colonially with up to 25 nests in one tree. Breeding only once a year, the female lays 3 to 5 white eggs. The eggs are then incubated for 27 to 32 days. The chicks are hatched weighing around 2 ounces. The chicks are helpless and unable to fly. Competition for food is intense, and if food sources

are low, then only the older chicks will survive. Week-old chicks grow rapidly and are fed up to 15 times a day. By 14 days, the chicks will weigh 10 times their hatching weight. At 28 days, they are 25 times heavier. During the breeding season, wood storks need over 400 pounds of fish to feed themselves and their offspring. During warmer weather, parents also have to collect water and bring it to the nest to drool on and into the mouths of the chicks. By the time the young are 4 weeks old, both parents will leave the nest to search for Please see LANKY | 11A

food. This continues until the chicks “fledge” or leave the nest. The young may continue to return to the colony for up to 15 days after fledging to roost or try to get food from their parents. A colony is considered successful if the adult’s average at least 1.5 fledged young per nest. While the young are still under their parents’ care, the adult will defend the nest against various predators such as vultures, striped skunks, crows and blackbirds. However, raccoons are

the leading predator of nests and can cause complete colony nesting failure when water dries under nests in drought years. Adults are rarely preyed upon but are sometimes picked off by American alligators. James L.

Brewers pound Cubs BY MATT CARLSON Associated Press

CHICAGO — It’s a big weekend for the Milwaukee Brewers, and they know it. So far, so good. Hernan Perez homered and drove in five runs, and the Brewers pounded the Chicago Cubs 15-2 on Saturday. Chase Anderson pitched five scoreless innings as Milwaukee pulled within three games of NL Centralleading Chicago. Anderson also helped himself with two hits and two RBIs hours after the Brewers announced Jimmy Nelson has a shoulder injury that will sideline the right-hander for the rest of the season. Milwaukee broke it open with eight runs in the third against Mike Montgomery (5-8) and reliever Justin Grimm. Travis Shaw and Orlando Arcia each hit a two-run double, Ryan Braun scored on a balk by Grimm, and Perez had a sacrifice fly. The Brewers will shoot for a series sweep at Wrigley Field on Sunday. “We need it,” Shaw

said. “We’re running out of time. Every game is kind of a must-win at this point.” Anderson (9-3) retired his first 10 batters before walking Kris Bryant with one out in the fourth. Ben Zobrist singled with two down for Chicago’s only hit off Anderson, but Albert Almora Jr. grounded out to end the inning. “My biggest thing was to get the guys back in the dugout, get them swinging the bats,” Anderson said. “And we swung the bats really well today. “Tomorrow is going to be a big game for us if we can sweep these guys at this place and go back home with confidence. We’re getting hot at the right time.” Perez made it 11-0 with a two-run drive down the left-field line in the fifth. It was his 14th homer of the season. Kyle Schwarber’s solo shot in the eighth ended Milwaukee’s bid for a second straight shutout. Leonys Martin added an RBI double in the ninth, but Chicago finished with just six hits.

Anderson, No. 23 TCU defense stifle Arkansas in 28-7 victory BY KURT VOIGT Associated Press

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Kenny Hill was everywhere for TCU a year ago against Arkansas, accounting for nearly 500 total yards of offense in a crushing double-overtime loss to Arkansas. This time around, the Horned Frogs quarterback happily took a back seat to his teammates on the other side of the ball. Led by a defense that stifled its opponent for a second straight week, No. 23 TCU (2-0) made amends for its loss a year ago by earning a 28-7 win over the Razorbacks (1-1) on Saturday. The Horned Frogs held Arkansas to 267 yards of total offense, a week after allowing only

65 yards in a 63-0 victory over Jackson State . They also controlled the time of possession with 195 yards rushing as a team, led by a career-high 106 on the ground from sophomore Darius Anderson. All in all, it was a grinding Southeastern Conference-like win for TCU — which served notice to its Big 12 Conference counterparts in the process. “It’s only two ballgames, but we’re really excited about where we’re at right now,” Horned Frogs coach Gary Patterson said. Anderson’s career day topped his previous rushing best of 103 yards in a victory over Texas last season, helping TCU win in Fayetteville for the first

time since 1984 when both schools were in the Southwest Conference. It was the collective effort of the Horned Frogs defense, however, that stole the show — while Hill was content to manage the rushing game and lead an offense that converted 10 of 14 third downs. Even in a secondary role, the senior still finished 21-of-31 passing and topped 200 yards of total offense in his third career game against Arkansas. “We need to come out and score some more points, but (the defense) played unbelievable,” Hill said. “... We’ve got a long way to go, but that was a big win. I love it.” The Horned Frogs had three sacks in the game,

one each by Ridwan Issahaku, Ben Banogu and Corey Bethley. It was its coverage that decimated Arkansas’ once-mighty passing attack, though. Only three Razorbacks wide receivers caught passes in the game and quarterback Austin Allen — who accounted for four touchdowns in last year’s win — finished 9 of 23 for 138 yards passing. “Coach (Patterson) always tells us we don’t know how good we could be,” Banogu said. “I think today we really took the potential part and made it into something we could actually do.” Arkansas has now lost three of its last four games to fall to 26-27

under fifth-year coach Bret Bielema. “I wish I had words to describe the way I feel and the way our guys feel,” Bielema said. “... We’ve got to be the most-improved team in the country and get a lot better at the details.”

The takeaway TCU: The Horned Frogs had lost 31 of their last 34 games to Arkansas dating to 1959, and they felt as if they let a win slip away in Fort Worth last season . It looked like they might let the game get away once again on Saturday, particularly after a second-half fumble deep close to the goal line. However, the defense held time and again and TCU scored two touch-

downs within 14 seconds of each other to put the game away in the fourth quarter — capped by Sewo Olonilua’s second score of the game. “We came here not to think about last year, we came here to win,” Patterson said. Arkansas: The list of concerns is substantial for the Razorbacks, from their struggles in the passing game to special teams. Allen was out of sync for much of Saturday and threw for a career low in yards as a starter, completing only 4 of 13 passes for 31 yards in the second half. Also, junior Cole Hedlund missed field goals of 23 and 20 yards and is 14 of 24 for his career.

NATCHEZ — A Mississippi company that makes storage tanks and industrial pressure vessels is expanding. Great River Industries in Natchez will add as many as 100 jobs to its current 180. Economic developer Chandler Russ said Friday that the company has added additional customers. Great River will buy more equipment. Russ said Adams County plans to grant property tax breaks on new machinery, but isn’t saying how much those breaks will be worth. The company also makes ductwork and air quality control equipment for utilities and the energy industry. Great River Industries, owned by NGS Investments, opened as Enersteel in 2010.

There’s a giant toddler in Mexico peering over a steel wall that divides that country from the U.S. A French artist who goes by the moniker “JR” erected the cut-out photo of the boy that stands 65 feet tall. He has pasted other large-scale portraits around the world, with much of his recent work focused on immigrants and refugees. The unveiling of the boy in Tecate — about 40 miles from San Diego — came the same week President Donald Trump said he would end a program that has allowed young immigrants brought to America illegally as children to remain in the country. The administration also accepted more proposals involving its proposal to build a continuous wall along the nearly 2,000-mile border.

Type II Diabetes is controllable, precentable Diabetes is serious, controllable and preventable. In 2015, Mississippi ranked first in the nation for overall diabetes prevalence, with over 333,026 adult Mississippians living with diabetes (over 14.7% of the adult population). Diabetes accounted for 1,091 deaths in Mississippi in 2015. In addition, many more Mississippians live with the complications of type 2 diabetes, including lower extremity amputations, end stage renal disease, blindness, loss of protective sensation, heart disease and premature death. Diabetes is preventable. Learn more below about your risk for developing type 2 diabetes and the small steps you can take to delay or prevent the disease and live a longer, healthier life. If you have diabetes, take this challenge. Your A1C level is an important indicator of long-term blood sugar control, but about one-third of adults with diabetes are not at their A1C goal. Join Tim McGraw and pledge to work with your doctor to get to your A1C goal (and your family or friends with diabetes as well). Did you know that the Mississippi State Department of Health Office of Preventive Health is available to offer A1C screenings for state employees at Mississippi State agency’s events? Diabetes is an incurable disease that affects the way the body uses food. Diabetes causes glucose levels in the blood to be too high. Normally, during digestion the body changes sugars, starches, and other foods into a form of sugar called glucose. Glucose is carried to the body’s cells and, with the help of insulin (a hormone), is converted into energy. In healthy people, blood glucose levels are kept within normal

ranges by proper insulin function. People develop type 2 diabetes because the cells in the muscles, liver, and fat do not use insulin properly. As a result, the amount of sugar in the blood increases, while the cells are starved of energy. Over time, high blood sugar damages nerves and blood vessels, leading to complications such as heart disease, stroke, blindness, kidney disease, nerve problems, gum infections, and amputation. Can Type 2 diabetes be prevented? Yes. The National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP) from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that moderate diet and exercise that results in 5 to 7 percent weight loss can delay and possibly prevent type 2 diabetes. What is “Pre-Diabetes?” Pre-diabetes simply means that one is at risk for getting type 2 diabetes and heart disease. If your blood sugar level is higher than normal but lower than the diabetes range, then you have pre-diabetes. The good news is you can reduce the risk of getting diabetes and even return to normal blood sugar levels. With modest weight loss and moderate physical activity, you can delay or prevent type 2 diabetes. How much does diabetes cost Mississippi? Total health care and related costs for the treatment of diabetes ran about $3.4 billion in 2013, the latest year for which cost data are available. Of this total, direct medical costs (e.g., hospitalizations, medical care, treatment supplies) account for about $2.4 billion. Out-of-pocket expenditures due to diabetes for Mississippians is estimated to be $303 million.

Many adults admit to having little or no time to exercise, and statistics support the notion that men and women simply aren’t exercising enough. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, only 21 percent of adults ages 18 and older met the physical activity guidelines for aerobic and muscle-strengthening activity (Note: The World Health Organization recommends that healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 64 should do at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity throughout the week or do at least 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity throughout the week, while also performing musclestrengthening activities involving the major muscle groups at least two days per week.)

The following are a handful of ways to do just that. • Embrace multitasking. Many professionals are adept at mult-tasking in the office, and those same skills can be applied when trying to find time for exercise. Instead of plopping down on the couch to watch television, bring a tablet to the gym or the basement and stream a favorite show while on the treadmill or the elliptical. • Cut down on screen time. That includes time spent using smartphones, tablets, personal computers, and other devices. • Make it a group effort. Involving others can make it easier for adults to find time to exercise. • Redefine date night. Adults who can’t find time for exercise during the week can redefine date night with their significant others.

Smoke alarms can save lives Mississippi is one of the top states in the nation for fire-related deaths. Corinth has already had one firerelated death this year. Smoke alarms in good working condition can save lives and property. If your homes have smoke alarms, the end of Daylight Savings Time (DST) each year is a good time to replace batteries. This year DST ends on Nov. 5, so mark your calendar to invest in new batteries for your smoke alarm. Smoke alarms provide an early warning of fire and dangerous smoke, allowing you the opportunity to escape. Smoke alarms will not prevent fires, but they do increase the chance for you to get out safely.

Smoke alarms need to be maintained in order to stay in proper working condition. The new year is a good time to check batteries and test the alarms around your house. Winter and seasonal holidays bring the risk of fire from portable heaters, cooking, careless smoking and the exposure of children to fire sources such as matches. Those at highest risk of death by fire or smoke are older adults, children younger than five years old, and people in substandard housing or mobile homes. If your house is more than ove level, smoke alarms should be installed on all levels.

How to help prevent New Study Links Dementia prescription drug use to Hearing Loss A Hearing Evaluation Is Your First Line Of Defense.

A major study recently found that untreated hearing loss may increase the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Those with mild hearing impairment were nearly twice as likely as those with normal hearing to develop dementia. The risk increased three-fold for those with moderate hearing loss, and five-fold for severe impairment.

The good news – hearing aids can delay, or even prevent, dementia

and Alzheimer’s disease.

Why take a chance? Get your hearing tested today!

At Beltone, we’ll thoroughly test your hearing – and, be the first to tell you if you don’t have a hearing loss. But, if you do need hearing help, be assured we’ll find the solution that best fits your needs. So, don’t delay, call now.

Hearing Aids Can Help Reduce Multiple Alzheimer’s Symptoms Has a loved one been diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease?

Most overdose deaths in Mississippi are accidental, caused by prescription drugs. Proper storage and disposal of medications can prevent injuries and deaths from drug abuse and drug overdoses. Prescription abuse is taking any medication prescribed for someone else, or taking a higher dosage or in a manner than has not been prescribed. Prescription drug abuse is a national epidemic – more than 91 Americans die each day from an opioid overdose. Opioids (including prescription opioids and heroin) killed more than 33,000 people in 2015, more than any year on record. Nearly half of all opioid overdose deaths involve a prescription opioid. The rate of overdose deaths involving opioids has doubled since 2000, and southern states, including Mississippi, have the most prescriptions per person for opioid painkillers. Men ages 25 to 54 have the highest numbers of prescription drug overdoses, and are about twice as likely to die from an overdose than women. CDC Prescription drug abuse by women is rapidly rising. About 18 women die each day from prescription painkiller overdoses. CDC Newborns whose mothers abused prescription drugs can suffer drug withdrawal problems (neonatal abstinence syndrome, or NAS). CDC Children visit emergency departments twice as often for medication poisoning than for poisonings from household products. Pediatrics

As many as 1 in 4 adults who receive long-term opioid prescriptions for non-cancer pain struggles with lifelong addiction. CDC Prescription medications are now the most commonly abused drugs among youth 12-13 years old. Partnership for Drug-Free Kids Teens’ ease of access to prescription medicines in the home is a key factor in drug misuse and abuse. Soldiers and veterans surviving serious injuries are at increased risk for abuse of prescription painkillers. JAMA Overuse of prescription painkillers for occupational injuries is becoming an epidemic in workers’ compensation systems. ACOEM Nationally, almost 70 percent of people who abused prescription drugs say they got them from a family member or friend. Proper prescription drug disposal ensures that drugs won’t fall into the hands of those they can hurt the most. Painkillers are the most commonly abused prescription drug. If you are taking pain medication, develop a pain management plan with your doctor to make sure you’re receiving the right amount of pain medication. Always store prescription drugs securely, and not easily accessed by others. Keep track of quantities, and keep the drugs in a locked medicine cabinet if possible. Properly dispose of medications once treatment is completed. Check the label or patient information guide for disposal instructions. Your pharmacist can also tell you about safe drug drop-off locations to dispose of leftover medications.

HPV: What is it? By Pam Belluck Associated Press Earlier this year, the federal government reported that nearly half of Americans between the ages of 18 and 59 are infected with genital human papillomavirus â&#x20AC;&#x201D; some strains of which can cause deadly cancer. The report, by the National Center for Health Statistics, notes that HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States. It also said that some high-risk strains infected 25 percent of men and 20 percent of women, and cause about 31,000 cases of cancer each year. The good news is that the HPV vaccine is very effective, especially if given in early adolescence. Here are some basics about HPV and the vaccine. Q: How is the human papillomavirus transmitted? A: About 40 strains of HPV are transmitted through direct contact with infected skin or mucous membranes during vaginal, anal and oral sex. Many sexually active people are exposed to the virus by their early 20s, indicating that it is hardly only a risk for people who engage in promiscuous sex. Q: How serious is the risk of cancer? A: Most HPV infections are destroyed by the immune system and cleared from the body within two years, but some strains can persist, including the HPV-16 and HPV-18 strains, which cause most cervical cancers. More than 4,000 women are estimated to die from cervical cancer each year, according to the American Cancer Society. Other strains cause genital warts or cancer of the vagina, vulva, penis, anus, throat and mouth.

Q: How effective is the vaccine? A: Recent data from a survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that in the decade since the vaccine was introduced, cases of HPV infection in teenage girls had decreased by almost two-thirds. And in women in their early 20s, who have lower vaccination rates and may already have been exposed to the virus before being vaccinated, the vaccine reduced cases of infection by more than a third. Health experts note that there is also a protective effect for people who vaccinated people become intimate with, because those who are vaccinated will not spread the virus to sexual partners. Q: Who should get the vaccine? A: The HPV vaccine is approved by the FDA and recommended by the CDC for people up to age 26. Some experts say this recommendation is based on studies showing that the prevalence of HPV infection in women decreases after age 25. It may be possible for older women to derive some degree of protection from the vaccine, some experts say. Because the vaccine is most effective before people become sexually active, health experts recommend that girls and boys get vaccinated at age 11 or 12. As of last fall, CDC guidelines said that children ages 11 to 14 need only two doses of the vaccine, given at least six months apart. Those receiving the vaccine between ages 15 and 26 should adhere to the previously-used regimen of three doses over a period of six months. The CDC says that even if young people have already had sex before they get the vaccine, it can still provide some protection.

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in Mississippi, accounting for about one in every five deaths. The American Cancer Society estimates that 16,680 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in Mississippi in 2016, including 1,530 new cases of colorectal cancer and 2,330 new cases of breast cancer in women. Most Cancers Are Preventable Sixety percent of all cancers are preventable. About one-third of cancer deaths are linked to lifestyle factors that you can control: diet, physical activity and weight. Medical checkups can make a

difference. Regular screening exams can result in early detection and treatment of cancers of the breast, colon, rectum, cervix, prostate, testes, oral cavity and skin. Everyone is at risk of developing cancer, but especially older adults. Over three quarters of all cancers are diagnosed at age 55 and older. What You Can Do Stay physically active to maintain your fitness and prevent obesity. Extra weight can increase your risk of colon and breast cancers. Keeping to a healthy weight means keeping cancer away. Eat a diet high in vegetables and fruit. A diet low in red meat and high in vegetables and fruit reduces

the risk of a broad range of cancers. Colored fruits and vegetables, and cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower, may be especially helpful. Changing what’s on your plate is the simplest step you can take against cancer. Don’t smoke. Don’t start, and if you do smoke or chew tobacco, stop. Quitting tobacco can have a profound effect on your cancer risk. Quitting is hard, but getting help can double your chances of success. Help is free with the Mississippi Tobacco Quitline. Get screened for cancer regularly. Screening can be simple and effective for detecting common cancers early – ask your doctor.

What causes sensitive skin? “Sensitive skin” can describe a host of symptoms that affect the skin on peoples’ faces and bodies. Some may develop sensitive skin after using skin care products that contribute to irritation or make their skin feel uncomfortable, even if there is no outward appearance of change. According to Francesca Fusco, MD, an assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, more than 50 percent of women categorize themselves as having sensitive skin. Although there are many treatments designed to treat sensitive skin, what drives irritation in one person may not produce the same effects in another. Therefore, alleviating sensitivity is not always an easy fix. Getting to the root of

the irritation can help people develop a more customized plan for relief. Indoor and outdoor environment Changes in the weather as well as the air inside of a home can cause reactions in the skin. For example, cool, dry air and central heating can cause the skin to become dehydrated. Dirt and pollution also may play a role. Pollution in the air can be absorbed by the skin’s natural barrier, eventually weakening it, say the sensitive skin experts at Simple skin care products. Age Skin can lose its elasticity and ability to recover quickly with age, making it prone to greater sensitivity. Couple that with the public’s quest for younger-

looking skin that involves cleansing religiously, exfoliating too frequently and relying on a bevy of anti-aging lotions, and it’s understandable why skin may become less resilient over time. Dry skin Lack of moisture can contribute to sensitive skin. A cleanser that is too drying is often the culprit behind unnecessary irritation. According to skin care expert Renée Rouleau, harsh detergents in commonly used facial cleansers can break down the natural lipids in skin. Furthermore, invisible cracks may form, enabling moisture to seep out and irritants to get in. Skin disorders Common skin disorders or allergic

skin reactions may make skin more sensitive. Such conditions include rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, or allergic contact dermatitis. Injured skin may be more reactive to the environment and certain products as well. Allergies to food or environmental components may also make skin more sensitive. Patch testing can identify allergies. Some trial and error may be necessary to find a skin care regimen that works on sensitive skin. Test new products in an inconspicuous spot prior to use, choosing items that have as few ingredients as possible. Avoid items with alcohol, retinoids and fragrances. Antibacterial or deodorant ingredients also may cause problems, so choose moisturizing products and soap-free cleansers.

What is colon cancer? Colon cancer is a cancer that starts in the lower part of the digestive system. It begins with small, noncancerous growths called polyps. Polyps can become cancerous over time. Colon cancer screening can detect and remove these polyps before they turn into cancer, so screening can help prevent cancer. Getting screened for colon cancer can stop it before it starts or find it early, when it is most treatable and most curable. Who should get screened? If you are fifty years old or older, or if you have a family history of colon cancer, you should talk to your family doctor right away about getting screened. He or she can refer you to a specialist called a gastroenterologist to get the screening done. To increase the number of Mississippians being screened for colorectal cancer, concerned organizations have come together to create a public service campaign featuring Dak Prescott, the former Mississippi State star quarterback and this year’s NFL Rookie of the Year for the Dallas Cowboys. As many Mississippians know, Dak’s mother died of colon cancer

To increase the number of Mississippians being screened for colorectal cancer, concerned organizations have come together to create a public service campaign featuring Dak Prescott when he was just a sophomore in college. In these PSAs, Dak shares his story, in the hope of helping others to avoid the pain and loss that he, his mom, and his family endured. The PSA campaign was developed by the 70 x 2020 Initiative, a consortium of current and retired physicians, faculty at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, and other concerned professionals and volunteers, with support from the American Cancer Society and the Mississippi State University Extension Service.

Caring for dentures improves oral health Proper dental care and oral hygiene is essential at all stages in life, even for people who have dentures, partials or implants. People with dentures must recognize that oral hygiene protects their dentures as well as their mouths. According to the American College of Prosthodontists, 35 million Americans do not have any teeth, while 11 percent of the population requires the use of a complete denture. In addition, 5 percent of the U.S. population wears a partial denture. The Canadian Denture & Implant Centres says that 16 percent of the population wear dentures. Removable dentures require care to keep them clean and in good repair. Servicing dentures also helps ensure wearers’ mouths stay healthy. Follow these guidelines to keep dentures clean. • Handle with care. Dentures are strong, but they are not impervious to damage. Treat them with care while handling, being sure not to bend or damage any clasps when cleaning, and try not to drop the dentures. When handling dentures, Colgate recommends standing over a folded towel or basin of water for added protection. • Brush daily. False teeth need to be brushed, so don’t trade in your toothbrush just yet. Brushing will help remove food deposits and prevent staining.

• Take a break. Remove dentures before going to bed and soak the dentures in warm water or special denture cleansers. Removing dentures for six to eight hours allows tissue inside the mouth to recover. Soaking helps to remove stains, bacteria and tartar. The Mayo Clinic notes that most dentures need to remain moist to keep their shape, so do not allow them to dry out. • Clean your mouth. While dentures are removed, use gauze or a soft toothbrush to clean the tongue, palate and cheeks. If you still have any natural teeth, use a soft-bristled brush to cleanse. Always rinse dentures before returning them to your mouth.

Brush daily. False teeth need to be brushed, so don’t trade in your toothbrush just yet. Brushing will help remove food deposits and prevent staining.

• Schedule regular dental visits. Dentists can advise how frequently to have dentures checked for fit and professional cleaning. Loose dentures can cause sores and infection, so it’s best to address any issues regarding fitting promptly. Dentists also will inspect the inside of the mouth for signs of disease or irritation. • Eat healthy foods. Make sure to eat a well-balanced diet to keep the body and mouth healthy. Cut up hard foods like fresh fruits and vegetables if dentures are impacting your ability to eat these foods. People of all ages rely on partial or complete dentures to maintain their smiles. Routine care is necessary to keep the dentures intact and mouths healthy.

Myth Busters/ fact vs fiction on weight loss and your health; Lite Center in Corinth can help you reach your goal Let’s face it, excess weight is a problem. Not just a problem, OUR PROBLEM. Whether you are 10 pounds or 100 pounds more than you want to be, weight loss is on your mind A LOT of the time. With so many “programs , methods and products” out there, it has become more and more difficult to navigate the do’s and don’ts of weight loss. How do you separate the Fact from the Fiction? LiteCenter, Corinth based professional weight loss and counseling center, located inside Dr. Erica Laser Aesthetic Center, 102 Norman Road Corinth, MS, sat down with us to help shed some facts on the most common weight loss myths. Myth: “I’m just a few pounds overweight, that won’t affect my health” LiteCenter: Believe it or not, losing just 10lbs can have a huge impact on your health. Being “just a little” overweight increases your risk of developing diabetes, having cancer and suffering from high blood pressure. Being “just a little” overweight often has a significant effect on our overall satisfaction of life and self esteem. Added weight can worsen any joint muscle pain you might already have. The more overweight you are the worse the pain, even a few extra pounds can put added pressure on your knees. According to leading research, each pound adds the equivalent of 3 pounds of pressure on your knees. This means 10 lbs of weight puts 30 lbs of pressure on your knees and can add to joint pain and increase your chances of developing additional joint problems. Higher cholesterol is a factor in weight gain. Any added fat in your body will affect your cholesterol. If you have 10 lbs extra, then you are likely to have higher cholesterol than someone in the healthy weight range. High cholesterol can lead to more serious health issues, and increases your risk of heart disease. Being just 10 lbs over weight can narrow your windpipe, making it more difficult to breath and interfere with normal sleep patterns. This can leave you feeling tired and affect your overall sense of wellbeing. A few extra pounds can lower your energy levels, cause excess bloating and discomfort. Shedding the extra weight can definitely lower health risk and improve your overall outlook on life. Myth: “Diet pills, supplement shakes, or prepackaged foods will help me cut back on my food intake and I will lose weight faster.”

LiteCenter: Quite the opposite is true. The benefits of weight loss for a type 2 diabetic or someone suffering from heart disease, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, joint problems and a slew of other conditions are boundless. In some cases someone who loses weight and is able to keep it under control can experience what is termed a “reversal,” which basically means that the person could come completely off medication for their condition.

If you are losing weight you are putting in less than you are burning or you are burning more than you are putting in. Either way you look at it, it is the same. So our ﬁrst instinct is to eat less, or skip meals. Many “weight loss” programs are based on this idea, such as: appetite suppressants (diet pills), meal replacement supplements such as shakes, pre-packaged food, even weight loss surgeries.

Myth: “Paying for weight loss is too expensive and I can just do it myself” LiteCenter: When you consider the long term cost of health problems, medications, increase in insurance premiums, then weight loss is very cost effective by comparison. The LiteCenter program cost is based on several factors, some of which include the amount of weight to lose and individual health issues. However, no one pays more than 15.00 per week to follow our program. The beneﬁts are boundless to using the LiteCenter program. Our clients lose on average 3 or 3.5 lbs per week. They are able to enjoy as close to a normal lifestyle as possible while seeing amazing results. Having over 20 yrs of experience, our counselors help each client follow their individually designed program providing recipes for the whole family, restaurant guides and keeping each client motivated. Accountability is the most important part of any weight loss journey. YOU CAN NOT BE ACCOUNTABLE TO YOURSELF, it never works. Just knowing that someone is going to ask you about and chart your progress is often the game changer. This is one of the most effective ways we differ from most conventional programs. Our clients stay in contact with us up to three times per week, either through visits to our location, phone, or email. We are keeping on top of their goals, success and concerns. We often celebrate success and never judge set-backs. We look at each client as an individual and look at each program we design with the realistic view that we all live and breathe in an environment of social eating. We understand that every event in our lives revolves around some sort of eating. From birth to death, and all the life we enjoy in between, we are celebrating or comforted with food. Our clients know that there is no such thing as permanent weight loss. If that were so we would all be at our goal weight TODAY. We follow our clients through their journey back to normal eating (if you don’t think you will ever want chocolate cake again, you’re wrong) and help them learn to keep weight off long term. Weight loss can be overwhelming but our goal is to make it simple and rewarding, to help clients reach what they once thought was unattainable, and become “LITE FOR LIFE”

Corinth native becomes new harbor master BY CAROL HUMPHREYS For the Daily Corinthian

PICKWICK LAKE — Boating enthusiast Neeley Bennett Potts’ new job has landed her right back where she always wanted to be – Pickwick Lake. When David Woods, an old friend of her family and owner of Grand Harbor, offered Potts a newly opened position at Grand Harbor Marina, she “jumped” on it. For the past several weeks, she has been training and learning about her new job as harbor master. In her new position, she manages the marina, the resort’s ship store, pontoon rentals, reservations for transients and anything that provides marina guests a nice, easy experience at the marina. Located approximately nine miles upstream of Pickwick Dam at the junction of the Tennessee River and the Tombigbee Waterway, the marina has about 325 boat slips from 24-feet to 70-feet. It is not only used by guests at Grand Harbor but “Loopers” who travel down the Illinois, Mississippi, Ohio, Cumberland, Tennessee and Tombigbee rivers to the Gulf of Mexico. Potts said these transients make up a large portion of the guests at Grand Harbor during the fall. As the daughter of Jim Bennett, retired owner of a well-known boat dealership in the Pickwick area, Potts identifies with the boaters. “I am a boater,” she said. Potts grew up going to

Corinth native Neeley Bennett Potts displays what is available inside the Ship Store at Grand Harbor Marina. She is the new harbormaster at Grand Harbor. her family’s house at Pickwick Lake. When she was 10, her family moved from Memphis to Corinth and continued to spend summer months at their home on the lake. “I worked for my dad’s business all through high school and spent all my summers on the lake,” said the 1991 Corinth High School graduate. “Ever since I was a kid, the lake has drawn me. I just have to be close to the water.” After graduating high

school, Potts attended the University of Mississippi where she majored in business administration. It was during this time she moved to the Miami/ Fort Lauderdale area and worked in boat financing. She returned to Corinth in 1995 and began working at her father’s business at Aqua Yacht Harbor selling boats and wave runners. “I’m very familiar with boats and how they run,” said the new harbor master. “Other than taking a short hiatus selling food

for Sysco Industries out of Memphis, I’ve always been around or worked in the boating industry.” Potts continues to spend half the year living in Corinth where her daughter, Bennett, will be a sophomore at CHS and the other half at their home on the lake. Her 19-year-old son Barron works in Memphis. “When I was younger I loved skiing. Now it’s spending time on a boat with my family,” said the mother.

As far as being harbor master at Grand Harbor Marina, Potts said she knows this is where she was meant to be. “I almost feel like I’m breaking new ground because the boating industry has always been a man’s world,” said the boat expert. “I’m thankful I have the history I have boating and the knowledge I have about boats. The terminology is like a whole different language in the boaters’ world. I’m very fortunate my father

allowed me the time and experience to be a part of that world.” Her father helped pioneer Pickwick Lake as a recreational destination. The retired business man who has a home at Yellow Creek in Tishomingo County, started his boat dealership in Counce in 1968. At one time he also owned the marina where his daughter now works. “He bought the old marina when it still had tires in front of it. It was called Pickwick Coves Marina back then,” said the 44-year-old Potts. “The house I grew up in is nearby and I used to ride my three-wheeler on the roads around there. I have so many memories now just driving to my office at Grand Harbor.” Besides feeling like she’s back in her old stomping grounds, the harbor master said she is getting reacquainted with former customers and seeing a lot of friends from the past. “I would not trade being in Pickwick for anything,” she said. “When I got out of high school I wanted to be in Florida so much, then I found I couldn’t wait to get back here. I just feel like God put me back right where I was supposed to be.” “I enjoy the serenity of the lake and people are just happier here,” she added. “I love my job. This is me. This is my lifestyle.” (A resident of Corinth, Carol Humphreys is a freelance writer and contributor to the Daily Corinthian, Crossroads Magazine and Pickwick Profiles.)

Dictionary donation Corinth’s Elks Lodge 2573 helped Corinth Elementary School students get a leg up on learning with the donation of dictionaries to all third grade students. This marks the first year for the donation the lodge hopes to make an annual tradition. The idea came from Beverly Morgan, a new Elks Lodge member who moved to the area from California. The students seemed excited and had the chance to participate in a drill looking up words in their new books. Principal Brian Knippers said he and the school were very appreciative and he is always open to new ideas and loves seeing what schools in other areas are doing.

Crossword

NEW YORK — “The Orville” could prove doubly surprising for viewers. First, because it’s a lavish retro-futuristic sci-fi hour boasting elements of drama, comedy, adventure, even the occasional Big Thought. Not exactly your typical TV concoction. Second, because it’s the brainchild of Seth MacFarlane, who at 43 continues to be lionized (and scorned by some) as the enfant terrible behind cheeky hits like Fox’s long-running animated sitcom “Family Guy” and the two “Ted” stuffedbear romps. “I come out of comedy, and this is my first foray into quote-unquote drama,” MacFarlane allows. “But I do feel like I’m very, very well-versed in science fiction. I’ve been reading it and watching it my whole life.” And now — as creator, writer, an executive producer and leading man — he’s launching the sci-fi series he says he dreamed about even before his breakout success with “Family Guy” while still in his early 20s. A show that HE would want to watch. A show he says he sees no one else doing. (“The Orville” will premiere on Fox on Sunday at 7 p.m., then air the following Sunday before settling into its Thursday berth on Sept. 21.) Set 400 years in the future, the series travels with the U.S.S. Orville, described as “a mid-level exploratory spaceship,” with MacFarlane as its captain, Adrianne Palicki

“You throw yourself into something like this, and then you put it out there and you’re just so exposed — and that’s part of the fun of it. But it takes a strong constitution.” Seth MacFarlane as his first officer (and, awkwardly, his adulterous ex-wife), plus a diverse crew of humans and aliens played by Penny Johnson Jerald, Scott Grimes, Peter Macon and others in a sizable cast. If all that sounds a bit like the original “Star Trek,” so be it: MacFarlane speaks of watching “Star Trek” as a youngster with his dad; he took a class, “The Philosophy of ‘Star Trek,’” in college. And now he’s doing it himself, with a series that aims to reinstate some of that bygone sci-fi wonder to a genre that now routinely views the future with a measure of dread. “Can you ‘casualize’ science fiction — that’s the only word I can come up with — and still tell a meaningful story within the genre?” he wonders aloud during a whirlwind New York visit this week. “That’s something I haven’t seen.” Of course, neither MacFarlane nor anyone else has yet glimpsed the series that might claim closest kinship to “The Orville.” That would be the new “Star Trek” revival premiering on the CBS All Access subscription service on Sept. 24. But MacFarlane expects “Star Trek: Discovery” to go boldly in its own new

“Star Trek” direction, while “The Orville” will be, in his words, “a little more old school.” One difference for sure: “Discovery” will be the first “Star Trek” to be serialized, while “The Orville” episodes will each be self-contained — “a little movie each week,” MacFarlane says. He started writing the season’s 13 episodes back in spring 2016. Filming began in March and wrapped two weeks ago. Postproduction continues. Seven days a week without a break. “You throw yourself into something like this,” he says cheerfully, “and then you put it out there and you’re just so exposed — and that’s part of the fun of it. But it takes a strong constitution.” Speaking of exposed, “The Orville” puts MacFarlane in the spotlight every week, in contrast to voicing, off-screen, several “Family Guy” characters. “When it feels right, acting is no different than writing or directing to me,” he declares. “I did a lot of theater as a kid. I did stand-up for a while. That need, to some degree, is in my blood. “And I also felt like being able to walk out on camera and commu-

nicate that I truly love being on the bridge of that ship, with a Julie Andrews degree of effervescence” — the bridge of The Orville is his “Sound of Music” mountaintop — “why WOULDN’T I? It’s just too much fun NOT to!” But MacFarlane makes clear that this is more than a matter of fun-andgames. For him, a lot is riding on this spacecraft and he’s not afraid to say so, though with a smile, his gleaming smile that seems to certify MacFarlane as a creature of selfassurance — even when hosting the Oscars or channeling Sinatra at the Hollywood Bowl. “That,” he laughs, “is a defense mechanism. I spend every day in crippling self-doubt. I hide it very well.” Right now he owns up to certain doubts about how viewers will receive him as a live-action hero on a TV space odyssey: “Are they going to allow this kind of a departure from what I’ve done before? Or is it going to be, ‘No, keep making the cartoons, and we’ll be happy’?” Where “The Orville” is concerned, “I feel self-assurance that I’ve done everything that I can do, and that what the show is meant to be, it is. But I’m a nervous wreck about everything else.” “This is arguably the most important thing to me that I’ve done since I came out to Hollywood,” he says. “I want people to love this show, because I loved writing it, I loved shooting it. I loved doing it with all my heart. And I want to do more.”

Review: Gregg Allman says goodbye with heart and spirit BY SCOTT STROUD Associated Press

Gregg Allman, “Southern Blood” (Rounder) Gregg Allman’s farewell album veers deeply into parting sentiment, but it also reminds us of what a singular talent we just lost when he died in May. Farewell albums from musicians who know they are dying have become a thing of late. And Allman’s just might be the best of them. “I hope you’re haunted by the music of my soul when I’m gone,” he sings on “My Only True Friend,” the only song

he had a hand in writing. The lyric feels too literal, but soon the singing and playing that made Allman great transcend any maudlin tendencies. With “Southern Blood,” Allman serves notice one last time that he earned his place in the countthem-on-one hand set of white singers who could belt the blues from within. Produced with tender care by Don Was, himself a studio legend, the album soars with arrangements built to spotlight Allman’s singing. The McCrary Sisters and Buddy Miller sit in on several cuts, in-

cluding a brilliant, horninfused arrangement of “Black Muddy River.” On the finale, Jackson Browne’s “Song for Adam,” Allman chokes up when he sings, “It still seems that he stopped singing in the middle of his song.” Was said Allman thought then of his brother, Duane Allman, who died at 24 at the peak of his power. Maybe so. But he could have been mulling his own fate, too — and the knowledge, proven with gusto on his last recording, that he still had plenty to give.

Indiana farmer plants Princess Leia corn maze as tribute to Carrie Fisher Associated Press

EVANSVILLE, Ind. — A southern Indiana farmer who created a corn maze with trails outlining the face of “Star Wars” character Princess Leia says he planted it to honor the late actress Carrie Fisher. Jeremy Goebel designed the maze in February, more than a

month after Fisher’s late December death, and planted it this spring using a GPS device. The corn is now mature and its trails outline the “Star Wars” character’s face, distinctive hairstyle and part of her upper body. Goebel tells the Evansville Courier & Press that as a longtime “Star

Cryptoquip

Wars” fan he “wanted to pay tribute to Carrie Fisher.” The maze at Goebel Farms in Evansville, Indiana, honors Fisher with trails above Leia’s head that spell out “Carrie Fisher RIP 19562016.” The maze opens to paying customers this weekend.

Annual doctor visits are important to health By Dr. Valerie Norton Many patients often visit their doctor only when they are feeling ill, have an injury or an acute change in their health. However, it is very important to maintain a regular annual visit including full physical examination and appropriate labs as well as preventative measures such as vaccinations and cancer screenings and other advice. Your doctor provides preventive services to help you avoid health problems or to identify them early. In many cases, problems that are found early are more likely to respond to treatment. Your doctor will recommend the services that are appropriate for you based on your age, sex, and medical and family history. Because your risk for health problems increases as you age, these preventative services are important for everyone but especially for older adults. By preventing problems, or identifying them at an early stage, you are more likely to live a longer and healthier life. It is important to ask your doctor about any necessary testing that you may

need. The following preventive services are important to consider and discuss with your doctor yearly: Influenza vaccination This vaccine is given yearly and helps prevent influenza (the flu) which can be serious and even lead to hospitalization. In general, everyone should get this vaccination every year especially those 65 years of age or older. Pneumococcal vaccination This vaccine helps prevent pneumonia. For people who have pneumonia, it helps prevent lifethreatening complications. Men and women over the age of 65 should be vaccinated as long as it is 5 years from previous vaccine and younger patients with chronic lung diseases should also receive this vaccine. Breast cancer Between the ages of 50 and 74, women should have a mammogram every 2 years to screen for breast cancer. Depending on your breast cancer risk factors, your doctor may recommend that you have a mammogram more often. Colon cancer Screening with colonoscopy or

other screening methods should begin at 50 years of age and continue until 75 years of age. Your doctor will recommend the right type of screening test for you. Diabetes If your blood pressure is regularly higher than normal, your doctor may test you for diabetes, even if you don’t have any symptoms. Any elevation in blood sugar may also require further testing. Cholesterol High cholesterol is a risk factor for heart disease and stroke. Men 35 years of age and older and women 45 years of age and older should be tested. Osteoporosis The risk of osteoporosis increases as you get older. Women who are 65 years of age and older should be tested for osteoporosis. This test is called a bone mass (or bone density) test and is usually performed every 2 years. (Dr. Valerie Norton is an Internal Medicine physician at Magnolia Regional Community Care Clinic. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Norton, please call (662) 2931680.)

According to the American Academy of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery, sinusitis affects about 1 in 8 adults annually and generally occurs when viruses or bacteria infect the sinuses. Often times, this occurs during a cold and causes our bodies to react to the infection. When the body reacts to the infection, the lining of the sinuses tends to swell, blocking the channels that drain the sinuses. When this takes place, mucus and pus irritatingly fill up the nose and sinus cavities. Acute sinusitis is diagnosed when the patient experiences symptoms that last up to 4 weeks and are accompanied by stuffiness and congested noses or pain, pressure or fullness in the face, head, or around the eyes. Chronic sinusitis typically lasts for 12 weeks or longer and is usually caused by prolonged inflammation. Patients who suffer from acute sinusitis or common sinus issues often require corrective surgical procedures. Surgery is often performed when the symptoms for sinusitis can’t be controlled with medications and other treatments. Dr. Michael Peery, MD, Otolaryngologist at Corinth ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) ,offer an endoscopic sinus surgery called Balloon Sinuplasty (BSP). The procedure is a safe and effective sinus procedure for chronic sinusitis patients seeking relief from uncomfortable sinus pain symptoms. With Balloon Sinuplasty, Dr. Peery is able to open up the inflamed sinuses by using a small, flexible, balloon catheter. This allows the blocked sinus passageways to open up and drain the fluids that have been building up over time. When the bal.loon is inflated, it widens the walls of the sinus, allowing the sinus drainage to flow more freely.

Acute sinusitis is diagnosed when the patient experiences symptoms that last up to 4 weeks and are accompanied by stuffiness and congested noses or pain, pressure or fullness in the face, head, or around the eyes. According to balloonsinuplasty.com, this procedure is not only more safe, but it is also less invasive, resulting in no cutting of the nasal bone or tissue. Most chronic sinusitis patients report a better quality of life following Balloon Sinuplasty Sinus Surgery and a return to work and normal activities within 2 days of the procedure. “This procedure is really a game changer for patients in our city, county, and region who are experiencing significant chronic sinus issues,” said Dr.Peery. “The capabilities of this procedure allow us to quickly resolve the patient’s issues and get them back to their normal routines and feeling much better.” If you are interested in learning more about Balloon Sinuplasty, or exploring treatment options for sinus issues you are experiencing, please call Corinth ENT at 662-293-1565.

Signs of atrial ﬁbrillation Corinth —Pulmonary— and how to treat it Palpitations of the heart or uncomfortable sensations in the chest can be distressing. Thoughts of heart attack may come to mind, and that anxiety can only exacerbate the situation. While heart attack might be the first thing people think of when experiencing chest discomfort, atrial fibrillation may be to blame for such feelings. Atrial fibrillation, also called AFib, is a quivering or irregular heartbeat that may lead to heart-related complications. The American Heart Association says that at least 2.7 million Americans are living with AFib. Although treatable, without proper diagnosis, AFib may lead to blood clots, stroke and even heart failure. Many people with AFib experience no symptoms at all and are unaware they have it until it is discovered during a physical examination. For those who experience symptoms, The Mayo Clinic lists these as some of the more common: • Palpitations, which can be sensations of a flip-flopping in the chest or even a racing feeling. • Fatigue • Reduced ability to exercise • Lightheadedness • Chest pain or shortness of breath • Dizziness and weakness When the heart is working normally, it contracts and relaxes in a beat. When a person has AFib, the upper chambers of the heart, called the atria, beat irregularly. They quiver and do not move the blood into the ventricles in an effective manner.

This irregularity can cause pooling or clotting of blood. Should a clot break off and enter the bloodstream, particularly in an artery leading to the brain, stroke may occur. A proper diagnosis from a physician is needed before treatment can begin. An examination may include an EKG or ECG, which will show the heart’s electrical activity as line tracings on paper. The spikes and dips in the tracings are called waves. An EKG will determine if the heart is pumping correctly. AFib is more common among people with clogged arteries or diabetes and may develop following valve surgery. AFib also is more common in people with coronary heart disease. As a person ages, his or her risk for AFib increases. Stress also can be a major factor in triggering AFib, according to StopAfib.org. Once AFib is diagnosed, managing risk factors and restoring a heart to normal rhythm becomes the priority. Doctors use a variety of medications to control heart rate, which may include beta blockers and calcium channel blockers. Medications to prevent stroke also may be prescribed. Surgical intervention may be necessary if medications aren’t working. Atrial fibrillation is a serious condition that requires treatment. Episodes can be managed and treated to help people live healthier lives.

Simple solutions for a better night’s sleep The importance of a good night’s sleep is welldocumented. Numerous studies have found that the effects of a good night’s sleep go beyond boosting energy levels and improving alertness. A better sex life, less chronic pain and an improved mood are just a handful of the documented benefits that a good night’s sleep can provide. As important and beneficial as sleep is, many adults in the United States simply aren’t getting enough rest. A 2016 study from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that more than one-third of American adults are not getting enough sleep on a regular basis. Those findings are based on guidelines from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Sleep Research Society that recommend adults between the ages of 18 and 60 sleep at least seven hours each night. Getting a more restful night’s sleep requires concerted efforts on the part of adults who are falling short of seven hours each night. But the following

are some simple ways for adults to start getting more rest. • Stick to a routine seven days a week. People tend to alter their sleep routines based on the day of the week, with many going to bed later at night and sleeping in later in the morning on weekends. But the National Sleep Foundation notes that going to bed at the same time each day, including weekends, helps people feel more sleepy at bedtime and fall asleep quickly. • Avoid alcohol in the hours before going to bed. Alcohol can make people feel sleepy, but that effect is short-lived. The sleepiness many people feel after consuming alcohol wears off quickly, and that can lead to interruptions in sleep. • Avoid stimulants in the late afternoon and at night. Alcohol is a depressant that can affect the quality of sleep a person gets. But stimulants can also make it hard to get a good night’s sleep. Nicotine acts as a stimulant in small doses, so smokers should stop

smoking that last cigarette before bedtime if they’re not getting decent or adequate sleep. Caffeinated beverages also should be avoided in the late afternoon and at night because caffeine stimulates the nervous system and can make it difficult to fall asleep, even if it’s been several hours since that last cup of coffee. • Take short daytime naps. Some people find that daytime naps improve the quality of their nighttime sleep. That might be due to the link between naps and stress. A 2015 study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism found that short naps can reduce stress. Reduced stress levels can make it easier to fall asleep at night. Limit naps to between 20 and 30 minutes, as naps that stretch on too long may interfere with nighttime sleep. Sufficient sleep can have a dramatic, positive impact on a person’s quality of life. Developing a good sleep routine and employing additional strategies can help sleep-deprived men and women get more restful nights’ sleep.

New program simpliﬁes taking prescriptions By Becky Null For the Daily Corinthian Taking medications should not be a chore. That’s why Medical Plaza Pharmacies in Corinth have introduced the new AdherePac program. This new system replaces traditional prescription bottles with a handy pouch that helps simplify taking prescriptions. Patients have a pouch for each dosing time, whether it be morning, noon, afternoon, bedtime, or any time of day. Each convenient pouch holds all of the pills for that dosage time. The pouch lists the patient’s name, the date and time that the dosage is to be taken, the list of pills in the pouch, and a description of each of those pills. There are several great advantages of AdherePac packing over traditional prescription vials. For one thing, prescription bottles can be difficult to open. Picking up and handling individual tablets or capsules can be challenging, especially for older or arthritic hands. Even filling up the traditional weekly

AdherePac makes it easier for these caregivers to set up medicines while still allowing their parents the freedom to self administer. Assisted living facilities are finding AdherePac to be ideal for them, especially for the staff. “One of the biggest advantages for AdherePac patients is that they can come into the pharmacy once a month rather than making multiple trips,” said pharmacist Alan Blunt. “We have patients who are on 12 or more medicines each month. It can be a burden for patients and their caregivers to travel back and forth to the pharmacy.” Medical Plaza Pharmacy patient Tommie Rafidi said the new pouches have made her life a lot easier. “I was having trouble with my fingers, putting my pills in my pill boxes. Now I just have the pouches,” said Rafidi. “They are easy to open. It’s easier to travel. I pick up my medicines at the pharmacy only once a month now. It’s a wonderful system.” AdherePac is free to patients who fill their medications at Medical Plaza Pharmacy on Alcorn Drive or Medical Plaza on Harper Road.

pill boxes can be tough for many patients. AdherePac remedies that by using the easy to handle pouches which are simple and easy to open. Travelling with multiple medication bottles is eliminated with AdherePac. If a patient needs to leave home for any length of time, they can quickly grab just the right amount of pouches for travel. Each package is marked with the time and date for quick use. Many busy adults are using AdherePac. This takes the worry out of remembering whether or not a patient has taken their medicines and frees up time for patients to do the things they enjoy. School age patients are now taking advantage of AdherePac. The special labeling on the pouches allows for only the needed dosages to be sent for administering during the school day. It makes it easy for school to identify the child, the medications, and the correct time of day. Caregivers are utilizing AdherePac. As the aging population continues to grow, many adults are finding themselves taking care of their parents.

Skin cancer comes in several forms Skin cancer is a significant threat that does not discriminate based on age, gender or ethnicity. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, each year there are more new cases of skin cancer than the combined incidence of cancers of the breast, prostate, lung and colon. While the incidence rates of skin cancer are alarming, the good news is that skin cancer is highly curable if detected early and treated properly. Adults concerned about the threat posed by skin cancer can take a proactive approach by learning about the three main types of this often preventable disease. Basal cell carcinoma The American Cancer Society notes that roughly eight out of 10 skin cancers are basal cell carcinomas. Basal cells are in the lower part of the epidermis, or skin, which is known as the basal cell layer. Basal cell carcinomas typically develop on the head and neck or other areas of the body that are exposed to the sun. Though they rarely metastasize, basal cell carcinomas can spread to other areas of the body if left untreated. The SCF notes that basal cell carcinomas may look like open sores, red patches, pink growths, shiny bumps, or scars. Basal cell carcinomas can be a byproduct of cumulative exposure to the sun or even intense, occasional sun exposure. Squamous cell carcinoma Squamous cell carcinomas most commonly appear on areas of the body that are exposed to the sun, though the SCF notes they also may occur on the mucous membranes and genitals. According to the SCF, in the United States alone, more than one million

people each year are diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma, which is mainly caused by cumulative sun exposure over the course of a lifetime. Year-round exposure to ultraviolet light and UV rays from the sun, as well as UV exposure from tanning beds, can take a toll on the skin’s squamous cells over time, ultimately leading to squamous cell carcinoma. Squamous cell carcinomas may look like scaly red patches, open sores, warts, or elevated growths with a central depression. In addition, squamous cell carcinomas may crust or bleed. Melanoma Though they are far less common than basal and squamous cell cancers, melanomas are more likely to grow and metastasize if left untreated. Melanomas develop when unrepaired DNA damage to skin calls triggers mutations that cause the skin cells to multiply rapidly and form malignant tumors. Ultraviolet radiation from sunshine or tanning beds is most often the cause of the damage connected to melanomas. Melanomas typically resemble moles, and some may even develop from moles. Melanomas are often black or brown, but the SCF notes that they also may be pink, red, purple, blue, white, or even skincolored. Early detection of melanoma before it spreads to other parts of the body is essential, as the SCF notes that melanoma is hard to treat and potentially fatal once it has begun to spread. More information about skin cancer and how to prevent it is available at www.skincancer.org.

Dialysis patients now have local option

Magnolia Regional Health Center recently opened the doors to patients at its new inpatient dialysis unit. Many dialysis patients traveling to go elsewhere for services can now be treated right here at home. Last week, Magnolia Regional Health Center opened the doors to its new inpatient dialysis unit. The new space, equipped with four patient bays, a state-of-the-art monitoring system, and personal TVs, will offer a quality center for treatments at MRHC. “I am so thrilled to be a part of this opportunity. Local dialysis patients now have the opportunity to stay near home when hospitalization needs arise,” said Gregory Hale, MD, Nephrologist at MRHC. “It affords the patient and their family the ability to forego the inconvenience of traveling 50 plus miles to get to a hospital that offers inpatient dialysis. We look forward to further serving the Nephrology needs of Corinth and the surrounding area.”

Hemodialysis treatments will be provided to any patient in the hospital who requires renal replacement therapy under the supervision of Dr. Hale. The unit will be open during normal daily business hours, but nurses will also be available after hours for emergent situations. Patients in ICU will receive dialysis in the room, avoiding any risks associated with transferring the patient to the new dialysis unit. All other patients will be taken to the new dialysis unit by bed with transporters. The new unit is being staffed by Fresenius Kidney Care, the leading dialysis provider in the world. The Fresenius team, having earned national recognitions and equipped with years of experience, provide a valuable resource to patients undergoing treatments at MRHC.

“The response from patients and loved ones has been amazing,” said April Wilson, Charge Nurse with Fresenius Kidney Care. “They are so relieved to find that they will not be transferred to another hospital and thankful that they do not have to drive over an hour to visit the patient.” Patients suffering from kidney failure often experience shortness of breath and chest pain, as well as other life threatening symptoms. When a patient is undergoing treatments, time can be crucial. Providing this service locally will not only be a convenience to the community, but it will also save lives. For more information about our new inpatient dialysis unit, please call Magnolia Nephrology Clinic at (662) 665-8045.
