Backpack choices should be weighed carefully By LINH TA linh.ta@wcfcourier.com and The Washington Post

WATERLOO — A colorful array of backpacks are greeting students during this year’s back-to-school season. Backpacks ranging from bucket-sized, to polka-dot printed, to little packs with bunny ears are available to satisfy any student’s accessory craving. However, many backpacks are not designed with proper posture in mind, said chiropractor Dr. Reed Pryor, owner of Better Health Chiropractic in Waterloo. To accommodate increasing space demands for text-

books, sports equipment and electronics, backpack sizes are growing without consideration for how much a student can actually carry. “The weight is getting greater and greater all the time,” Pryor said. “Even with my children, their backpacks are getting larger but they’d rather talk to people than go back to their locker.” For adequate posture, students should not carry more than 15 percent of their body weight, Reed said. However, heavy textbooks and short passing periods between classes often require students to carry a large load during the school day. That’s why students should always

wear both straps of their backpacks, use adjustable straps and plan ahead so they only carry a few books at a time, instead of all of them. “We need to get them out of fashion mode,” Reed said. “A lot of them will just wear one strap instead of the way they’re designed to be. While it may look cool, it causes students to lean to one side.” According to the American Occupational Therapy Association, 55 percent of students carry an overweight backpack, and 64 percent of students between the ages of 11 and 15 report pains from heavy school bags. This places stress on

spinal discs and affects posture, Reed said. “When (the discs) have abnormal stresses on them, they can compress or bulge and affect the soft tissues around that nerve,” Reed said. He recommends purchasing backpacks that provide lower-back support. While these backpacks are more costly, they assist with posture. Karen Jacobs, national

spokeswoman for the American Occupational Therapy Association’s National School Backpack Awareness Initiative, also recommends purchasing backpacks with a “breathable material.” Purchasing a bag with a lightweight fabric instead of leather lessens the weight on students. If backpack choices were up to Reed, “I’d have everyone with rolling luggage. It makes more sense,” he said.

Grilled corn and cheese make a great combo

Cut tops off tomatoes. Gently cut around inside edge of each tomato; use a spoon or your hands to scoop out most of the insides (reserve for another use), creating a cup. Sprinkle insides with salt and pepper. Cut off kernels from corn and place in a large bowl. Add mango, green onions, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, jalapeno, olive oil and lime juice. Gently mix to combine; season with salt. Spoon salad into tomato cups. Transfer to a platter. Garnish with fresh chive blossoms or another edible blossom (such as nasturtiums). Serve at room temperature.

Grilled Corn with Queso Fresco 8 servings 8 ears of corn, husks and silk removed Olive oil 8-ounce block queso fresco cheese 1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 stick butter, cut into 8 pieces

Heat grill to high. Rub each ear of corn with a bit of olive oil. Once grill is hot, arrange corn in a single layer on grill grates. Cover grill and reduce heat to medium. Cook for 6 minutes, turning several times. Meanwhile, use a grater (large holes) to grate queso fresco into a medium bowl. Add paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper, then toss well. When corn is ready, use tongs to transfer it to a rimmed baking sheet or baking pan that will ďŹ t on your grill. It’s OK to stack corn. Sprinkle cheese mixture over corn. Arrange butter chunks evenly over corn. Place pan on grill, cover and cook for 2 to 4 minutes, or until butter is melted. Serve immediately.

We’ve put men on the moon but have yet to come up with a perfect corn de-kerneler. Try this one — it works! Using a bundt pan, that tube pan with uted sides, position a shucked ear of corn, stem down, into the tube’s opening. With a sharp or serrated knife, cut straight down the cob’s length to remove the kernels that drop into the pan. OK, 98 percent did when we tried it. But what’s a few kernels when you have to deal with several ears full?

Texas pastor’s helicopter will get new blades, God willing By CHUCK SHEPHERD

Religious messages

■ Megachurch bishop Ira V. Hilliard told his Sugarland, Texas, congregation at New Light Christian Center in June that one of his two private aircraft — a helicopter valued at about $1 million — needs new blades, but rather than pay it himself, he asked parishioners to each find it in their

hearts to send him $52 “favor seeds” for the blades. His ministry also owns a $2 million Hawker jet and a $3 million hangar. To sweeten the deal, he promised that a donor’s gift would be met by a “breakthrough favor” from God in the form of a car repair or their very own “dream” car either 52 days or 52 weeks later, according to a church letter described by the Christian Post. ■ Satan was thrust into the recent Texas legislature debate with pro-choicers shouting, “Hail, Satan!” at the right-to-life faction. However, whom Satan had endorsed was not clear. A British organization called UK Church of Satan appeared to criticize the

— signed by their physician, this directs medical personnel not to begin artificial breathing or heart rhythm or other life-sustaining interventions. Those who are considering a DNR order should talk through this choice with their doctor and loved ones. Many times people in this condition with a living will believe a DNR is in force,

when it is not. My mother said to me recently, “Did you know that a Do Not Resuscitate is not part of a living will but instead requires a separate doctor’s order?” Most doctors will discuss this with a hospitalized patient or a terminal patient and their records are so marked. If you are not in a hospital, nursing home or

Questionable judgment

If you complete a living will be sure to provide a copy to your physician and tell him or her exactly what it means to you. If you do not want to be resuscitated, you need to discuss this with your doctor. He or she will want to be sure that you fully understand what you are requesting.

■ Carole Longhorn, 66, struck a metal object in her garden in Norfolk, England, in June, and, though it looked like a projectile bomb, she said she decided to take it inside and wash it off in the sink before calling police, who later detonated the World War II-era munition in a controlled explosion. Said her husband later: “You can imagine what I said to her.”

Inexplicable

■ In May, a 24-year-old man accidentally shot a teenage boy in the leg with a high-caliber gun at a home in Santa Fe, Texas, in front of the boy’s mother, whose first reaction was to look up “gunshot” on WebMD. She took her son to Mainland Medical Center seven hours later. Deborah Tagle was charged, along with the shooter, for injury to a child.

Petty fighting Dewayne Eddy, 54, was charged in Yuba County, Calif., in May with beating his adult daughter with folding lawn chairs and a can of beans after discovering that a bolt was missing in the chicken coop in his yard.

If you have a living will or a durable power of attorney for health care, read them carefully. My mother and I have discussed her desires if she is unconscious and in the dying process, and I feel confident that I understand her wishes and the complications of different scenarios. That certainly doesn’t make an emergency decision easy,

nor does it mean that my nine brothers and sisters will have the same understanding that I feel I do.
