other/daughter team and nurse practitioners Debbi Moore and Anna Erwin took a chance two years ago and opened up their own family practice – Midtown Medical Clinic.

It seemed like an ideal solution to Moore, who needed a clinic larger than the one in which she was currently practicing.

CROSSROADS MAGAZINE

www.mycrossroadsmagazine.com

“I was asked to come look at a building located closer to downtown but it was all dark colors and dark carpet,” she commented. “I couldn’t make up my mind so my daughters Emilee and Anna came and looked at it with me. I asked for their opinion, adding I felt like I needed a partner for a building that big.

Anna replied, ‘I could be your partner.’”

“It was one of those moments where you know this is what is supposed to happen,” added Moore, smiling.

Erwin agreed.

“I wasn’t looking to move from where I was working at Dr. (Robert) McKinney’s – it was just like a light bulb popped up over my head,” she said.

Besides the clinic, the two women share similar professional backgrounds. Both attended nursing school at Northeast Mississippi Community College and went on to earn a master’s degree from an accredited university. Both also received specialized education and clinical training in family practice and are members of the Mississippi Nursing Association and the Mississippi Academy of Nurse Practitioners.

The Corinth natives also have a large close-knit family. Debbi and her husband, Greg, share eight grandchildren. Anna and her husband, Chandler, have a son, Ben, 12.

It’s their appreciation for families that carries over to the commitment they show toward their practice.

Moore was 12 years old when she decided she wanted to be a nurse.

“My dad was in the hospital and at that time you weren’t allowed to go up and visit in the patient’s room,” she said. “So I would just sit in the lobby and watch the medical staff as they worked. The nurses wore dresses and little caps on their heads then and I would watch them swishing off somewhere to help somebody. I just felt that is what I wanted to do.”

After graduating from nursing school, the young mother and registered nurse went to the University of North Alabama to earn her bachelor of science in nursing degree. In 1997, she earned her master’s degree from the Mississippi University for Women.

Moore has now been in the nursing field for 41 years, including 21 years as a nurse practitioner.

As a young girl it was natural for Erwin to be influenced by her mother’s career, though her interest in the medical field focused on a specific part of the human body – teeth.

“I thought I wanted to be an orthodontist, but when I attended college I became unsure of which career path I wanted to take,” said the 2004 Mississippi State graduate. “After graduating MSU I decided I wanted to follow in my mother’s footsteps and went to nursing school.”

She eventually worked with Pediatrics/Internal www.mycrossroadsmagazine.com

Medicine specialist, Dr. Robert McKinney at Corinth Medical Specialists.

Despite being business partners, the mother-daughter relationship remains.

“Sometimes Anna will look at me like, ‘Did you really wear that today?’” Moore said in amusement.

The two women also share the same passion – to make a human connection with their patients and hopefully make a difference in their physical and emotional well-being.

After completing the required education, nurse practitioners must pass a national board certifying exam in a specific population focus. Moore and Erwin specialize in family medicine. They use their training and experience as nurses to work with both children and adults on maintaining health often through different stages of life. In family medicine, the two clinicians often become familiar with their patients’ backgrounds in terms of lifestyle, family history and the challenges

they face.

They can assess patient needs, order and interpret diagnostic and laboratory tests, diagnose illnesses and diseases, prescribe medication and formulate treatment plans. Their practice is in collaboration with family practice physician Dr. George L. Cain Jr., MD. Preventive care is important to both FNPs. “I’ve always been interested in preventive medicine,” said Moore. “In the last couple of years we have had more access to advanced testing when it comes to predicting heart disease and diabetes.

Anna and I try to be really proactive in identifying those patients and helping them understand how to prevent having a heart attack, diabetes or a stroke.”

Research has shown a stronger immune system has a lot to do with nutrition, exercise, weight, stress and sleep. Erwin believes general healthyliving strategies are a good start toward a healthier immune system.

“I feel like people are getting sicker at a younger age now because of their lifestyle,” she said. “In a lot of people I’m seeing, these diseases are

starting while they are in their 40s instead of their 60s. They want to feel better but are not always motivated to make the changes necessary to make healthier choices.”

Moore said she is excited about promising new developments in the medical field.

“Last year they came up with a new immunotherapy to help patients with migraines and I think we are going to see more of these type of innovations in medicine -- which is exciting,” said the nurse practitioner.

She has also started a new area of practice in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. The treatment option uses “natural” hormones to help resolve symptoms related to hormonal imbalance or decline in hormone production due to aging in both women and men.

“As we get older, we often tire easier, gain weight, get grumpy and our memory is not as good,” said Moore, 61. “For me, it has changed all those things. I feel half my age.”

Working together has been a rewarding experience for the mother and daughter.

“We love it here,” said Moore. “We feel like we

are part of the community that’s expanding and revitalizing.”

The two women also continue to learn from each other.

“Anna is the techy one,” said Moore.

“Any time I have a computer issue, she has to rescue me. She also comes from working in a pediatrics-oriented environment while I’ve dealt a lot in women’s health. Our combined experiences give a well-rounded approach to how we handle health care.”

There is still renovation work being done at the new clinic, but Moore commented how nice it was to have the extra space. In addition to her daughter and her, the staff includes receptionist, Sara Garner, and Nicole Settlemires, LPN. Billing is handled by Cathy Dees, who works from home.

“I use to laugh, saying when you work for somebody else you don’t worry about the light bill but all that changes when you work for yourself,” said Erwin, 36. “Starting my own practice with my mother was a big change, but a good one for me. We started this clinic together because we knew nobody else had our best interest at heart like we do.”

Her motivation also comes from seeing a patient “get it” and make changes to improve his or her quality of life.

Moore agreed.

“There is nothing like the feeling you get when a patient comes back and says, ‘I feel so much better’ or read lab results, realizing they were listening after all. It’s gratifying to know something you’ve done has had a positive outcome,” she said.

Both women also feel compelled to help families who have a hard time affording proper medical care.

At Midtown Medical Clinic, “like mother, like daughter,” is a good thing for the well-being of the Corinth community (A resident of Corinth, Carol Humphreys is a freelance writer and contributor to the Daily Corinthian, Crossroads Magazine and Pickwick Profiles.)

HEALTHY DIETING

101 Low carb? Low fat?

What the latest dieting studies tell us

BY CANDICE CHOI AP FOOD & HEALTH WRITER

PA G E 1 4

NEW YORK — Bacon and black coffee for breakfast, or oatmeal and bananas?

If you’re planning to try to lose weight in 2019, you’re sure to find a fierce debate online and among friends and family about how best to do it.

It seems like everyone has an opinion, and new fads emerge every year.

Two major studies last year provided more fuel for a parCROSSROADS MAGAZINE

ticularly polarizing topic — the role carbs play in making us fat. The studies gave scientists some clues, but, like other nutrition studies, they can’t say which diet — if any — is best for everyone.

That’s not going to satisfy people who want black-andwhite answers, but nutrition research is extremely difficult and even the most respected studies come with big cavewww.mycrossroadsmagazine.com

ats. People are so different that it’s all but impossible to conduct studies that show what really works over long periods of time.

Before embarking on a weight loss plan for the new year, here’s a look at some of what was learned last year.

FEWER CARBS, FEWER POUNDS?

It’s no longer called the Atkins Diet, but the low-carb school of dieting has been enjoying a comeback. The idea is that the refined carbohydrates in foods like white bread are quickly converted into sugar in our bodies, leading to energy swings and hunger.

By cutting carbs, the claim is that weight loss will be easier because your body will instead burn fat for fuel while feeling less hungry. A recent study seems to offer more support for low-carb proponents. But, like many studies, it tried to understand just one sliver of how the body works.

The study , co-led by an author of books promoting low-carb diets, looked at whether varying carb levels might affect how the body uses energy. Among 164 participants, it found those on low-carb diets burned more total calories than those on high-carb diets.

The study did not say people lost more weight on a low-carb diet — and didn’t try to measure that. Meals and snacks were tightly controlled and continually adjusted so everyone’s weights stayed stable.

David Ludwig, a lead author of the paper and researcher at Boston Children’s Hospital, said it suggests limiting carbs could make it easier for people to keep weight off once they’ve lost it. He said the approach might work best for those with diabetes or pre-diabetes.

Ludwig noted the study wasn’t intended to test long-term health effects or real-world scenarios where people make their own food. The findings also need to be replicated to be validated, he said.

Caroline Apovian of Boston University’s School of Medicine said the findings are interesting fodder for the scientific community, but that they shouldn’t be taken as advice for the average person looking to lose weight.

DO I AVOID FAT TO BE SKINNY?

For years people were advised to curb fats, which are found in foods including meat, nuts, eggs, butter and oil. Cutting fat was seen as a way to control weight, since a gram of fat has twice as many calories than the same amount of carbs or protein.

Many say the advice had the opposite effect by inadvertently giving us license to gobble up fat-free cookies, cakes and other foods that were instead full of the refined carbs and sugars now blamed for our wider waistlines.

Nutrition experts gradually moved away from blanket recommendations to limit fats for weight loss. Fats are www.mycrossroadsmagazine.com

necessary for absorbing important nutrients and can help us feel full. That doesn’t mean you have to subsist on steak drizzled in butter to be healthy.

Bruce Y. Lee, a professor of international health at Johns Hopkins, said the lessons learned from the anti-fat fad should be applied to the anti-carb fad: don’t oversimplify advice.

“There’s a constant look for an easy way out,” Lee said.

SO WHICH IS BETTER?

Another big study this past year found low-carb diets and low-fat diets were about equally as effective for weight loss. Results varied by individual, but after a year, people in both groups shed an average of 12 to 13 pounds.

The author noted the findings don’t contradict Ludwig’s low-carb study. Instead, they suggest there may be some flexibility in the ways we can lose weight.

Participants in both groups were encouraged to focus on minimally processed foods like produce and meat prepared at home. Everyone was advised to limit added sugar and refined flour.

“If you got that foundation right, for many, that would be an enormous change,” said Christopher Gardner of Stanford University and one of the study’s authors.

Limiting processed foods could improve most diets by cutting down overall calories, while still leaving wiggle room for people’s preferences. That’s important, because for a diet to be effective, a person has to be able to stick to it. A breakfast of fruit and oatmeal may be filling for one person, but leave another hungry soon after.

Gardner notes the study had its limitations, too. Participants’ diets weren’t controlled. People were instead instructed on how to achieve eating a low-carb or low-fat in regular meetings with dietitians, which may have provided a support network most dieters don’t have.

SO, WHAT WORKS?

In the short term you can probably lose weight by eating only raw foods, or going vegan, or cutting out gluten, or following another diet plan that catches your eye. But what will work for you over the long term is a different question.

Zhaoping Li, director of clinical nutrition division at the University of California, Los Angeles, says there is no single set of guidelines that help everyone lose weight and keep it off. It’s why diets often fail — they don’t factor into account the many factors that drive us to eat what we do.

To help people lose weight, Li examines her patients’ eating and physical activity routines to identify improvements people will be able to live with.

“What sticks is what matters,” Li said.

Karen’s Salt Cave People spice up their health with Dry Salt Therapy PA G E 1 8

BY KIMBERLY SHELTON FOR THE DAILY CORINTHIAN MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Salt Spa and Fitness Studio owner Karen Wilder is enjoying the “Salt Life” thanks to Halotherapy.

Also known as Dry Salt Therapy, the holistic method -- believed to date back to the 12th century -- involves the inhalation of dry salt particles within a chamber which mimics the natural micro-climate of a salt cave.

The certified exercise physiologist and licensed massage therapist said she first turned to Halotherapy because she wanted to take charge of her health.

“I struggled with allergies, asthma, and reactive airway disease,” said Wilder who has been searching for alternative ways to treat her respiratory issues since childhood. “Growing up I used so much medicine. I tried allergy shots in my teens and again in my twenties. I also tried inhalers, but none of those treatments

CROSSROADS MAGAZINE

www.mycrossroadsmagazine.com

gave me long-term relief.”

“I wanted more than long-term relief,” she continued. “I truly wanted to heal my body and improve the integrity of my respiratory system.”

Prior to her research of Halotherapy, the native Memphian used a nebulizer and administered herself breathing treatments of Albuterol.

“Not only was it an inconvenience and interruption to my life, it was something I didn’t want to continue doing,” she explained. “So, about 10 years ago, I started finding clinical research of Dry Salt Therapy and decided I wanted to try it for myself no matter where I had to go.”

The American College of Sports Medicine graduate’s search would ultimately lead her to Naples, Fla. where she visited the Salt Cave continuously for a week.

“Every day I sat in their Salt Cave and each session made a tremendous difference in my breathing,” she said. “I knew right away that it was a service I wanted to add to my fitness training studio/spa business.”

After several months of construction, Wilder’s crystalline dreams became a rosy, pink reality when she unveiled the Salt Cave eight years ago at her East Memphis spa.

“I began using it myself and offering Salt Therapy services to my fitness and massage clients,” said the licensed therapist. “I have not had to use medication at all nor have I been sick since I started using it.”

A regular at the Salt Spa, Memphis resident Carrie Stetler has been a supporter since the beginning and never passes up an opportunity to share with others how Halotherapy has transformed her life.

“I’ve been enjoying the Salt Cave since she first installed the unit and it has made a dramatic difference in my health,” she said. “I go every Monday (sometimes with my sister Mary Hailey from Boca Raton, Fla.) after my exercise class and don’t have to eat Sinutab and Benadryl tablets anymore.”

“It’s a great preventative therapy and one I highly recommend,” she continued. “Working with museums, I knew that salt caves were excellent for storing artifacts because they were climate-controlled. I had also heard of the tremendous health benefits associated with salt caves and was excited to hear that Karen was going to be getting one.”

Since starting a weekly Salt Therapy regimen, Stetler has noticed a massive decline in the amount of upper respiratory and sinus issues she battles with throughout the year.

“In the olden days doctors would send their patients with tuberculosis to the seashore because the negative www.mycrossroadsmagazine.com

Salt Spa owner Karen Wilder loves to talk about the many benefits of pink Himalayan salt lamps.

Helping clients breathe easier, Karen’s Salt Cave attracts visitors from all over since almost everyone can benefit from the active breathing treatment.

Derived from the Greek word “Halos,” meaning “Salt,” the alternative form of medicine has been used by monks in naturally-occurring salt caverns for centuries to treat respiratory illness.

“It’s good hygiene for the lungs,” said Wilder, who uses the therapy as needed and for prevention. “My clients use the Salt Cave for the same purposes – to heal both upper and lower respiratory issues like asthma, bronchitis, sinusitis, chronic cough, colds, and more.”

Halotherapy has also been shown effective in the treatment of common skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and acne.

Fitness Studio owner Karen Wilder (above) guides a client through a private GYROTONIC session. Opposite page: Certified Exercise Physiologist Karen Wilder explains the benefits of incorporating aerial silks into fitness routines.

Since the conditions mimic the microclimate of a salt cave, those indulging in the experience will feel as if they are relaxing on a pink sandy beach near the ocean.

“Our Salt Cave has 12 Himalayan salt crystal lamps shelved on the walls and half a ton of Himalayan salt covering the floor,” said the owner as she offered a tour of her facility. “When inhaled, the salt particles help to reduce inflammation in the airways, open up constricted air passages and help clear out mucus.”

A Halogenerator is employed to gently disperse the dry salt aerosol which has a particle size of 0.3 microns and a negative electrical charge into the Salt Spa Cave.

Once the tiny particles of sodium are inhaled, it then travels into the deepest parts of the lungs and sinuses where it does its job by absorbing and removing allergens, toxins and foreign substances throughout the respiratory tract.

“Since the inhalation of dry salt can stimulate bronchoconstriction, the first thing participants will notice is how much better they can breathe,” explained Wilder. “It also increases the oxygenation in the blood stream, gives a boost to the immune system and leaves participants with a feeling of overall wellbeing as they relax in our zero gravity chairs.”

Much like a day at the beach, guests can listen to the soothing sounds of ocean waves as they enjoy a 100 percent safe and natural, drug-free treatment with no side effects. www.mycrossroadsmagazine.com

“I could feel a difference immediately,” said first-time participant Carol Hale, who recently visited the Salt Spa with her husband Rusty. “I feel like I’ve uncovered this whole other world I never knew existed.”

Carol said she was both shocked and intrigued to have such a unique experience available right outside her back door.

“I had no idea we had a place like this until our sonin-law gave us a gift certificate,” she mused. “Coming in, I wasn’t really sure how to prepare, but it was an excellent experience and one we will definitely do again.”

Rusty also found the treatment to be relaxing as well as therapeutic.

“We reclined in the lounge chairs and within minutes we were both sound asleep,” he said.

A hairnet and clean white socks are required to enter the Salt Cave.

Participants are also asked to tie up loose hair and to silence their cellphones.

The therapy is offered as both a solitary and as a group experience since the Salt Cave can accommodate up four people at a time.

Salt Therapy packages are available in both a 30-minute and a 45-minute treatment series.

Karen recommends a series of at least 10 sessions in order to be consistent and see the most benefits.

In addition to Halotherapy and intuitive custom massage, Memphis’ premier Salt Spa also offers a Far Infrared Sauna, Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field Therapy (great for injuries) and John F. Barnes’ Myofascial Release which eliminates pain and restores motion through applying gentle, sustained pressure into the myofascial connective tissue.

Just steps away from the salt-themed spa is the 2,900 sq. ft. fitness studio.

Karen offers personal training sessions and classes including, but not limited to, GYROTONIC & GYROKINESIS exercise, post-rehab training and wellness/lifestyle coaching, Aerial Fitness (Silks, Hammock, Harness), and Aerial Restorative Yoga.

(The Salt Spa of Memphis is located at 5496 Poplar Avenue Suite No. 2. For more information call 901-7679290, visit www.saltspamemphis.com, www.karenwilderfitness.com and give them a “like” on Facebook.)

Complete with a hand-muraled ceiling and ambient glow, the massage rooms at the Memphis’ premier salt spa are a welcome retreat.

A

nother New Year has arrived and it’s time to make those promises about weight loss.

But as the calendar slowly flips into February and March, those good intentions make way for excuses and the struggle to eat healthy.

One documented study revealed the average American puts on 15 to 20 pounds during the holiday period from the Thanksgiving holiday through New Year’s.

Think about it.

Remember all those get-togethers with family, friends or co-workers during the holidays? Did any social function NOT get around heaping platters of food?

Well, there is the answer to the big fat question.

Is there such a thing as a healthy dish, yet big on flavor?

John Mabry, executive chef at Vicari Italian Grill and V Taco in downtown Corinth, was asked to put together five dishes with a catch.

All five entrees had to be big on favor, healthy, yet short on calories and fat.

For a culinary school graduate who has been cooking professionally for 38 years, could he do it?

Here are the results.

“It has to be a lifestyle change,” noted the chef. “If a person just goes on a diet, chances are, they will gain all the weight back.”

There are some easy tips to follow in the kitchen when preparing the dish.

Rather than a coat of olive oil, Mabry suggests coating the meat with a cooking spray.

At 120 calories per tablespoon, olive oil can give a swift kick in the weight loss plan. Use a canola spray and always apply the seasoning before the spray, he stressed.

Shrimp is a quick, easy enjoyable dinner. Many spices work well, especially barbecue.

Many cooks don’t realize how good quail can be. A steak seasoning works well.

“The spray locks down the seasoning on the meat,” noted the chef, who was trained in France.

If the cook must have olive oil, brush lightly onto the meat and do not pour, thus not adding many calories, he explained.

All five of the “super healthy” dishes are to be served with fresh grilled veggies such as asparagus or squash, which will not add much to the calorie counts as noted with each dish.

However, “don’t cook them to death,” noted Mabry.

“There are a lot of nutrients in the veggies, so don’t cook them out. Overcooking also takes out the flavor.”

Each of the entrees were grilled - shrimp being the only exception in this presentation - and all were seasoned with fresh black pepper and garlic salt.

Baking and pan searing are other good cooking methods on these dishes.

No matter the seasoning, the trick is to not overcook the meat, he said.

His no fault trick is to touch one’s wrist. It should be the same touch to the meat to know when it is done. The meat should have the same feel as touching the left wrist with the right index finger.

Another key element is to “get the freshest product possible,” noted the chef.

The next best thing to fresh is frozen. When it comes to frozen fish, look for product that is in I.Q.F. (Individually Quick Frozen) packets.

“I.Q.F. fish has 90 percent of the flavor value of fresh fish,” said Mabry.

Salmon (8 oz.)

290 calories, 0 carbs, 7g fat, 22g protein — It is low in sodium, plus a good source of thiamin, niacin, vitamin B6, phosphorous and a great source of protein.

“If a cook has a good piece of fish, they don’t have to do much to it,” said the chef. “Mother Nature has done a good job.”

Mabry’s recommended side veggie — grilled fresh zucchini and yellow squash

Red Snapper (8 oz.)

290 calories, 0 carbs, 4g fat, 29g protein — It is low in saturated fat and sodium and is a good source of phosphorous and potassium. It is a great source of protein, vitamin B12 and selenium.

Although a coating of cooking spray with black pepper and garlic salt works well, a blackened seasoning also works well. “Remember, just don’t over do it. We want to taste the fish,” added the chef.

Mabry’s recommended side veggie — grilled fresh asparagus

Chicken Breast (6 oz.)

180 calories, 0 carbs, 4g fat, 25g protein — It is low in saturated fat and sodium. It is a good source of

vitamin B6, phosphorous and a great source of protein, niacin and selenium.

Don’t forget to remove the skin, noted Mabry, as it packs the calories and fat. “The problem is the skin,” he added. “But cooked properly, it won’t be missed.”

A key to taking chicken to another level is a citrus kick. Squeeze a fresh lemon on the chicken during grilling and serve the dish with lemon wedges.

“Chicken is one of the healthiest foods a person can eat,” he said. “But it comes with a blank canvas. Add some spice.”

Mabry’s recommended side veggie — grilled fresh whole green beans or steamed carrots

Shrimp (8 oz.)

224 calories, 0 carbs, 1.2g fat, 24g protein — very low in saturated fat. It is good source of niacin, iron, phosphorous, zinc and cooper. It is a great source of protein, vitamin B12 and selenium.

“People tend to shy away from shrimp,” said the chef.

“It is a quick, easy, enjoyable dinner. And it is good for

people.”

Shrimp cooks quickly, so overcooking can be the only issue. The best thing about shrimp is so many spices will work. Mabry suggested a barbecue dry rub. “Much like chicken, it will pick up any spice,” he said.

Mabry’s recommended side veggie — grilled fresh asparagus

Quail (2 whole)

246 calories, 0 carbs, 4.2g fat, 20g protein — Low in sodium, plus a good source of of thiamin, riboflavin, iron, phosphorous, zinc and copper. It is a great source of protein, niacin, vitamin B6 and selenium.

“People don’t realize how good quail can be,” noted the chef. “It has a lot of good stuff in it.” Most seasonings work well and Mabry suggested a favorite steak seasoning. Grilled quail is the easiest way to cook the dish.

Farm-raised quail is available on-line.

Mabry’s recommended side veggie — grilled fresh medley of green beans and squash

Lifestyle for healthy families Shiloh Ridge Athletic Club ready to serve the community in many ways

BY MARK BOEHLER FOR CROSSROADS MAGAZINE The Shiloh Ridge Athletic Club leadership team gathered on a recent morning inside an office at the sprawling facility on Shiloh Road to discuss its purpose in the community.

Being a Corinth landmark rich in history for over 25 years, 2019 brings a new year with many opportunities to have more impact on the lifestyle of families like no other business in the Crossroads area.

Carroll Little, owner of the facility for the past dozen years, looked over the team assembled to discuss the great things in store and the message Shiloh Ridge wants to convey.

“We are here to serve the community,” said Little.

“It’s such a great environment. It is family oriented with strong values. It is a lifestyle using the holistic approach toward the wellness and well being of the entire family.”

All the team members smiled with those words of approval toward what defines Shiloh Ridge.

General Manager Alan Dodd joined the leadership team a year ago to help grow the community openness at Shiloh Ridge and its desire to serve families with a wellness lifestyle.

“We are not a private county club,” added Dodd, a successful Corinth businessman. “We are open to the public and offer a wide variety of activities with the entire family in mind.”

Both Dodd, Little and the rest of the leadership team held up three fingers as to what Shiloh Ridge has been and hopes to continue to be for the community: — A wellness lifestyle with an activity center; — Top notch 18-hole golf course like no other in the Crossroads area; and, — A residential development close to the family and wellness lifestyle.

“This is what and who we are,” said Dodd. “We are dedicated to helping people achieve health objectives, athletic aspirations and fitness goals seven days a week.” www.mycrossroadsmagazine.com

Shiloh Ridge features two recently renovated pools.

Golf Course In 1989, nine holes opened along with a make-shift pro shop in an old barn located on the old Roscoe Turner landing strip. Shiloh Ridge now features an 18-hole course within the city limits of historic Corinth. The par72 course offers unique and picturesque views from its gently rolling terrains. Covering over approximately 90 acres, this 6,831-yard course offers fun for golfers of all skill levels. Carefully maintained TifEagle greens produce a putting surface second to none. Its signature hole #8 is a par-3 hole featuring an island green which may challenge the best of golfers.

Whether it’s trees, bunker, or lakes, there is something interesting about each hole that will make Crossroads area golfers want to play this course again and again.

Golf pro Bill Phillips offer lessons throughout the year for golfers of all ages and abilities to improve their game.

Jonathan Enzor has been the golf course superintendent the past seven years and takes great pride in continued improvements and the top notch condition of the course.

He has three full-time employees and additional seven seasonal helpers to be sure the course remains top notch.

Shiloh Ridge is home to the Corinth Warriors Golf Team, Northeast Mississippi Community College Tigers Golf Team and the Coca-Cola Junior Tour. It is also home to several memorial tournaments and holiday weekend scrambles and offers a complete Pro Shop.

The golf course is considered semi-private, meaning it remains open to the public year around with many membership options. Exciting news for 2019 — with the arrival of a new fleet of Yamaha’s newest gas golf carts, known as “quiet technology” carts.

“We take great pride in our golf course,” said Enzor,

Activity Center

Shiloh Ridge’s two-story activity offers various Cybex equipment to help people get in shape or maintain a healthy lifestyle. The facility offers everything from personal training to group fitness classes. Its specialized programs and personalized training puts anyone on a path to becoming their best.

Mark Hajek is the newest member of the Shiloh Ridge team. He is a well known personal trainer and serves as gym manager. He has over 30 years experience in fitness and has been certified through NFPT since 2003.

“We have all the equipment and tools to help people reach whatever goals they may have,” said Hajek. “I will gladly answer questions or give hands-on instructions PA G E 3 2

to all equipment or exercises. I believe everyone can do their best at whatever level they may be and exercise can actually be a very fun and positive experience.”

The multipurpose fitness center boasts spin, pilates, strength and toning, personal training, golf and tennis fitness classes.

Those using the fitness center have full use of the spacious locker rooms which offer lockers, restrooms and showers. The locker rooms also feature a dry sauna to help expel toxins, increase circulation and metabolism and promote relaxation of the muscles and mind. Or people can choose the steam sauna to enhance respiration and hydrate skin.

One of the more popular features of the Shiloh Ridge lifestyle are two outdoor pools which have undergone a recent complete renovation to add to the family friendly environment.

The golf course at Shiloh Ridge is a semi private course, which offers monthly golfing memberships or affordable daily greens fees to the public. Individuals and families alike can take advantage of private gym membership with rates starting as low as $43. New members may also choose Shiloh Ridge’s “wellness membership” membership which allows them access to both the fitness center and the pool area. These private memberships for both the gym and the pool areas provide peace of mind for the safety of families.

The main pool features two corkscrew waterslides to ensure endless fun for the big kids while the wading pool has five splash features to keep the little ones happy.

There are certified lifeguards on duty so families can have peace of mind and enjoy their visit. Swimming lessons are also available.

Shiloh Ridge offers well maintained Rubico clay tennis courts with a beautiful shaded viewing gazebo for specta-

tors. The tennis courts have lights for that fun evening match or folks can play all day. With four courts to choose from, tennis players can enjoy the benefits of a flexible playing surface that relieves impact on their joints.

Shiloh Ridge also has plenty of spaces available for family or church gatherings or corporate and business meetings. Seating space varies from 25 people all the way up to 300 for a banquet-style dinner for special family occasions. Â

Residential Development

Part of the Shiloh Ridge lifestyle includes a residential development near the golf course and activity center.

There are currently three homes being built to give families an idea of what may be available at Shiloh Ridge.

The homes are designed to be close to the entire Shiloh Ridge experience of a family friendly environment with something for the entire family - golf, tennis, swimming, sauna, fitness and exercise. Â PA G E 3 3

Coping with the suicide of a loved one

The loss of a loved one can be overwhelming, and that sense of loss can be even greater when a friend or family takes his or her own life.

The loss of a loved one can be overwhelming, and that sense of loss can be even greater when a friend or family takes his or her own life.

Many people have no experience coping with the suicide of a loved one, which is why it can be so devastating when someone you love takes their own life. Lifeline Australia, an organization that offers crisis support and suicide prevention services, notes that people who recently lost a loved one to suicide often experience a complicated form of grief. This grief can be characterized by shock and can affect survivors’ physical and mental health.

Survivors may experience emotions such as guilt, anger, despair, and/or depression, all of which only makes it more difficult to cope.

Lifeline Australia offers the following tips to people struggling to cope with the suicide of a loved one.

• Take some time off from the pain. Survivors may feel as though it’s inappropriate to do something other than grieve after the suicide of a loved one. But Lifeline Australia notes that it’s alright to take time to do something you enjoy in the aftermath of a loved one’s suicide.

• Stay connected to loved ones.

Friends and family, even those who did not know the deceased, will likely offer their support in the wake of this tragedy. Accept that support and make a conscious effort to stay connected with your loved ones.

Grief can cause feelings of isolation and loneliness. Relying on your support network and accepting their support is a great way to overcome

those feelings.

• Honor the deceased. Don’t hesitate to share memories, photos and stories about your loved one who committed suicide. The Suicide Prevention Lifeline notes that some people find it helpful to write to a lost loved one, as doing so can provide a means to say some of the things survivors were unable to say before a loved one’s death.

• Don’t be afraid to ask for help.

Organizations like Lifeline Australia and the Suicide Prevention Lifeline encourage survivors to utilize their helplines and/or speak with counsellors and psychologists trained in helping people deal with the suicide of a loved one. Many hotlines make help available 24 hours a day yearround, so it’s never a bad time to call and seek help.

• Join a support group. Feelings of loneliness are common after a loved one commits suicide, but survivors must remember that they’re not alone. Support groups for survivors allow you to share your experience with others in similar

situations.

More information about coping after the suicide of a loved one can be found at www.lifeline.org.au and www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org.

Survivors are urged to accept and seek support.

Do you feel panicked if you leave home without mobile phone in hand? Do you find it difficult to sit in the house without browsing the internet? Are your children spending much of their classroom hours on tablets? Screen time has taken over most people’s daily lives, but at what cost?

A 2014 report from Nielsen found that adults log a total of 11 hours of screen time per day. Delaney Ruston, a physician and creator of the documentary “Screenagers,” which explores young people’s use of digital devices, discovered kids spend an average of 6.5 to eight hours per day looking at screens. All of this time glued to digital devices has profound effects on physical and mental health, and many experts are advising people to cut back on the time they spend on their devices.

Brain damage: Multiple studies indicate that spending considerable time on screens can produce atrophy (shrinkage or loss of tissue volume) in gray matter areas of the brain, according to reports in Psychology Today.

These are regions of the brain where processing occurs.

One of the most affected areas includes the frontal lobe, which governs executive functions like planning, prioritizing, organizing, and impulse control. Another vulnerable area is the insula, which is tied to a person’s capacity to develop empathy and compassion for

others. Research also shows that white matter can be compromised, which translates to loss of communication between cognitive and emotional centers in the brain.

Vision problems: Staring into screens for extended periods of time can damage areas of the eyes and result in computer vision syndrome, which is characterized by trained eyes, blurred vision and headaches. The Multi-Ethnic Pediatric Eye Disease Study, conducted by researchers and clinicians from the USC Eye Institute at Keck Medicine in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health, has found that exaggerated screen time and insufficient sunlight exposure has more than doubled incidences of myopia (nearsightedness) among American children in recent years.

Sleep disturbances: University of Gothenburg psychologist Sara Thomée, a lead researcher into the effects of screen time on the body, says the blue light from digital devices suppresses the sleep-promoting hormone melatonin, keeping people from having restful sleeps.

Overstimulation: Screen time can cause hyperarousal, which may be more notable in children than adults, according to research published in Psychology Today.

Regular amounts of screen time can cause the brain to be in a state of chronic stress, which can short circuit the frontal lobe. This may lead to addictive behaviors, rage, inability to recover from minor frustrations, and hyperactivity.
