When constructing a house or structure, there are basic instructions and codes builders follow in order to render the building sturdy and strong enough to endure the stresses of people and external elements such as wind, rain, and heat. I'm reminded of the story, "The Three Little Pigs." You may recall the first two pigs built their houses out of straw and sticks respectively, only to have the wolf "huff and puff" and blow them down. The third pig constructed its house out of bricks, which ultimately stood the test of the wolf's powerful breath. The moral of the story is always do things to the best of your ability and more importantly, do them right. I like that story; it accurately applies to life. The story made me pause and think about how we as people must prepare ourselves for trials and tribulations that we inevitably face. The Bible is an excellent instruction manual for how we must build ourselves and our lives. The Ten Commandments alone provide an excellent blueprint for our lives. We are not born knowing right from wrong. We are not born

Building for Life knowing how to resist temptations and we are not born knowing God's word. We must constantly seek to grow our faith and spirituality. A lack of those things can easily lead to destruction in our lives. Although we are not born knowing right from wrong, hopefully it was learned from our parents. But even knowing what is right and what is wrong doesn't necessarily mean we make the best of choices. We are tempted every day. And sometimes it's just not easy to do what is right. James 4:17 states, "Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin." Doing the right thing

despite the consequences makes us stronger people, more able to withstand the storms. 1 Corinthians 10:13 says, "No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation He will also provide the way of escape that you may be able to endure it." We must also have faith in the darkest of times. Nobody is exempt from trials and tribulations. We all face them throughout our lives and our faith and spirituality can grow through these challenges if we let it. It is easy to lose faith and become discouraged. That is when

and quick route to constructing their homes, only to see them collapse. And remember that the smallest of things matter to God. Matthew 25:40 states, "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." Whoo! Whoo! Until next time!! All aboard!!

the devil "dances to and fro" waiting for us to fail. Isaiah 41:10 says, "Fear not, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will uphold you with my righteous hand." And last, but not least, we must do everything in our lives to the best of our abilities. The first two pigs in the fairy tale took the easy

4 Ways to Focus on Self-Care (StatePoint) It’s no surprise that the concept of self-care is getting a lot of traction in many health and wellness circles. Self-care can improve your mental and physical health and help you be more productive. Unfortunately, many people don’t prioritize it. Whether you are a career-focused professional or a stay-at-home parent, it’s likely you have a tendency to put other people’s needs – those of your children, colleagues, friends or family -- ahead of your own. Here are four ways to focus on making time for essential self-care activities. 1. Make over your morning: Rise an hour before everyone else in your household. Use the time to meditate, stretch, write in a gratitude journal or visualize a successful day ahead. 2. Make a list of your favorite things: Write down things that truly bring you joy and fill you with a sense of purpose. To ensure you’re finding time to do them, schedule them in your calendar. Some ideas could be going for a run, buying fresh flowers or tackling an arts and crafts project. 3. Invest in new gear: Sometimes the best motivator for getting active is a new piece of clothing or accessory you feel confident wearing. “New footwear is a great way to support health and wellness goals, while helping you stay motivated to invest in selfcare activities,” says Randy Woodworth, women’s athletic buyer for Rack Room Shoes. To help you on your healthy self-care path, invest in something that is comfort-

MINISTRY....from page 1 feet and room to house 70 men in the armory's former shooting range. For the first 30-45 days, the men spend their days in devotions, Bible study, classroom studies on a variety of lessons and work therapy/community service. "From that point on, we help them get jobs." Men are asked to pay a $250 entry fee and commit to giving 25 percent of earnings from jobs the ministry helps them get during the six months they are housed there. "But we've never turned anybody away because they can't pay the fee, and we've never put anyone out if they're not ready to leave," Scribner said. "If they stick with the program, we give them a place to live and help them get back on

Take regular walks outside: Never underestimate the power of exercise and fresh air. Find the time that is most convenient for you, whether that’s first thing in the morning, during a lunch break or after dinner. Once you’ve got the plan in place, get into a self-care routine that works for you and stick with it. their feet." Some of the classes and devotions are led by graduates of the program. Broken Lives has its own Sunday morning church services that are open to the community so that the men's families can come worship with them. "God has definitely been in the center of the ministry. Graduates come back for devotions and church and that keeps them plugged in and keeps them encouraged," said Byron Coker, Broken Lives manager. "We give them a place of refuge and let them know they are loved. "We are very thankful we are self-sufficient. We are growing more and more through Facebook. It's amazing to see what God does through Facebook." Scribner describes those who commit to

TUCKER...from page 1 YouTube channel where he frequently puts his hilarity on display. He was recently elected secretary-treasurer of his college's student body association, and he's preparing to start the school's first step team. He is admittedly "one of the silliest people I know" and considers himself "a hysterical fellow" whose laugh is always waiting to explode from his chest. "There's a reason why God has called me," he said, although "the entirety of my childhood I tried to move away from my father's shadow. For a long time, I knew my calling was to preach but I ran away from it." Tucker remembers well the day Saturday, Aug. 12, 2017 - he made his commitment to his future in Jesus Christ. He was having a deep conversation with his father, Rev. Jonathan Tucker, and his older sister Joshanae' in the living room as mom Scherrita was cooking in the kitchen. "My dad said he knew I was called to preach but it wasn't because of him," Tucker recalled. "I began to cry. Now, I'm not a crier but the few times I've cried they have all been times the Lord revealed something to me. I had surrendered to the calling God had for me. I didn't desire to be ready, but it's not about me. The next day Tucker headed to the young adult Sunday school class at church to do a video in his role in the church's media ministry. The teacher had already begun the lesson. "He said we cannot deny the will of God. For us to call ourselves saved and then deny his plan leads to our

BAXTER....from page 1 schooler to quality for the high school varsity team. She remained on the team until the program as "a good band of brothers who help each other." "We help them realize you can find function in the world without drugs or alcohol. When they start hearing more of the Word, you don't want to be around drugs and alcohol." Word of the work that Broken Lives does continues to spread, not just in Mississippi but across the country as men ask to enter the program. "We are very thankful we are self-sufficient. We are growing more and more through Facebook. It's amazing to see what God does through Facebook," Coker said.

own destruction." Tucker told his father as soon as he could after hearing those words: "I'm a preacher. God called me." Since then, Tucker said he sees the world with a different set of eyes. "I'm not an ordinary Christian but a minister of the Gospel. Before, I was looking through a different perspective. When I recognized where God wanted me to be he showed me that I had to get closer to him as a person. "I see the truth in what I've heard for years - the joys and the struggles as I learn to communicate the Gospel." Tucker said he enjoys living in the dorm and taking Biblical classes at Blue Mountain because of all that he is learning. As part of his college experience, Tucker said he decided last fall that the college needed a step team, even though friends told him that the Baptist school probably wouldn't allow it. "I decided if I wanted this, I would fight for it," he said, adding that he gained the required approval from college officials. Busy with his school work and other commitments, Tucker said he hasn't had time to push the program forward yet but he intends to in the next school year. One of his commitments is to his YouTube channel The_JTDTV where he posts at least once a week, and where he's gaining a following. Tucker, who admits to not being technologically oriented, said his YouTube videos have grown from the knowledge he gained through the media ministry at church. "God has shown me I can learn how to do anything," he said. she graduated from Kossuth High in 2010, and then ran cross-country on an athletic scholarship at Blue Mountain College where she graduated in 2013. At this year's Coke 10K, Baxter said she plans to do what she usually does after she crosses the finish line. She goes back to run other runners across the line. "I'm going to keep going back to see if any of my kids are there and run them in," she said. "I want them to know they're part of a team." Baxter, who has taken off the last 18 months from her running career for health reasons, said she is slowly getting back into the running that she loves. She plans to run her first marathon by the end of this year or early next year. Her goal for 2021 is to run the World Marathon Challenge, completing seven marathons in seven days on seven continents.

Seniors Notice More Than Youngsters Do A new study has shown that we seniors take in more information from the environment. Researchers call it “hyper-encoding,” when we notice more of what’s going on around us and merge it with other information we’re getting at the same time. And we’re 30 percent better at it than our younger counterparts. Here’s an example: Let’s say you’re with your daughter talking to a friend, Mr. Jones, on the street, listening to what he’s saying. Not only do you listen to him, but you also notice that he’s wearing a red tie and a blue shirt. Later you say to your daughter, “I’d like to buy your father a shirt like Mr. Jones was wearing.” To which your daughter will likely reply: “What shirt? I didn’t notice it.” Not only that, but if you happen to spot that same shirt in a store, you’re more likely to remember where you first saw it. Does this make us wiser? Perhaps. I suspect we’re better at making decisions because we’ve noticed so much more around us over time. We understand cause and effect because we’ve witnessed events and taken in information, and when new information is presented, we can tie it to the previous events we’ve seen. We’re good at problem solving, likely because of past experience. We take the parts and pieces and put them together in ways that our younger counterparts don’t. We tend to get good grades in classes we take, likely because we remember old information and tie it to the new. On the other hand, this reduced ability to filter out extraneous information can explain why many of us find television commercials so annoying. Not only do we remember the content of the show we’re watching, but we can also recall the commercial information, repeated over and over.

Viral Infection Can Cause Dizziness DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I got a sudden attack of dizziness that landed me in bed. I couldn’t stand. Finally, with the help of my husband, I got to the doctor, who said I had a viral infection called vestibular neuritis. I am taking medicine and am somewhat better, but the dizziness isn’t completely gone. Will it go? When? — L.T. ANSWER: I have to warn readers that the causes of dizziness are diverse, and vestibular neuritis, while common, is only one of many causes. The vestibule of the inner ear has three fluid-filled canals that work like a carpenter’s balance, that gadget whose center contains a fluid-containing tube with a bubble in it. The balance tells the carpenter if a piece of wood is aligned. The inner ear canals tell people if they are aligned. They send signals to the brain that keep us balanced. A viral infection of those canals or of the nerve that sends signals to the brain makes people feel like they’ve been put in the spin cycle of a washer. Not only are affected people dizzy, they become nauseated and often throw up. Symptoms of vestibular neuritis lessen in two to three days, but full recovery can take up to six or more weeks. A cortisone drug taken within the first three days of illness can ease symptoms. And medicines like promethazine relieve dizziness and nausea, but they make some people so drowsy that they prefer the dizziness. The booklet on dizziness discusses vestibular neuritis as well as the other dizziness causes. Readers can obtain a

Please allow four weeks for delivery. *** DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Can you give an explanation of and recommendation for cure of a health problem I have? Being over the age of 65 and in reasonably good health, I suffer every winter from painful cracks in my fingertips and the soles of my feet. — R.V. ANSWER: The cracking indicates your skin is drying out. You can restore moisture to your fingertips with a light coat — just a dab will do you — of petroleum jelly (Vaseline or another moisturizer) before going to bed. Put Band-Aids over your fingertips, and leave them on all night. You can do the same during the day, but it’s a bit inconvenient. In about three days, the cracks should be filling in. Continue this treatment every third or fourth night. The same thing works for the feet. You don’t use Band-Aids, but you do cover your feet with socks before going to sleep. Don’t apply petroleum jelly during the daytime. It might make you somewhat unsteady. It takes longer for feet to heal. *** DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Does the consumption of foods packaged or wrapped in aluminum foil pose a risk for contracting or accelerating Alzheimer’s disease? — M.E. ANSWER: The answer is no. The brains of some Alzheimer’s patients have more than the usual amount of aluminum. Some have interpreted that as indicating aluminum as a cause. Few scientists hold to that theory. *** Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

PERSONAL FINANCE

Tidying Up Your Finances

(StatePoint) The cultural phenomenon sparked by professional organizing consultant Marie Kondo has motivated millions worldwide to declutter. While cleaning out your closet and making a financial plan may be two very different things, tidying up your finances can also “spark joy.” A Certified Financial Planner (CFP) can help you commit to a plan that helps you take control of your spending, providing you with confidence today and a more secure tomorrow. Here are 10 ideas to get you started: 1. Write down your financial goals and post them somewhere prominent, such as your fridge. These can be small goals, like “I will bring lunch to work three days a week,” or bigger goals, like “I will pay off my student loan.” 2. Calculate your net worth to get an overall picture of your financial standing. Your net worth is everything you own minus everything you owe. 3. Update (or create) your budget showing what money is coming in and what’s going out. Make sure it’s not in the red, meaning you’re spending more than you’re earning. 4. Consider open-

ing a Christmas club-type savings account to pay for big-ticket personal expenses. Originally pioneered during the Great Depression, Christmas clubs were financial accounts people added cash to throughout the year. They then used these savings to buy holiday gifts, helping to avoid the holiday spending “hangover.” You can create your own by automating savings each month, ideally in an interest-bearing account. If you save $75 a month, you’ll have $900 over the course of a year (or even more, if you earn interest). 5. Start gathering tax documents like W-2 and 1099 forms and receipts for charitable contributions. Taxes are right around the corner. Do them early if you can. 6. Check your credit report. With Credit Karma, you can check

your credit reports from TransUnion and Equifax for free weekly. Additionally, you can check your report from each of the three main credit bureaus once a year for free with AnnualCreditReport.com. 7. Set a deadline to pay off credit cards in full. This will help motivate you to take control of your debt. 8. Rebalance your 401(k) about once a year to see if you are out of balance from your original goals. For example, if your allocation was 60 percent stocks and 40 percent bonds, but stocks had a good year, you might now have a 65 percent stocks and 35 percent bonds allocation, so this will have to be rebalanced. 9. Increase your savings plans. This could be your employer plan at work, your own emergency fund, or both. Consider raising your contribution by 1 percent a year. 10. Meet with a CFP professional. If you haven’t begun planning for retirement or tying your financial goals to your life goals, there’s no better time than now to start. You can find a CFP at letsmakeaplan.org. As you put your belongings in order, consider your finances. Simple measures can help you tidy up your finances.

Weight Loss Willpower: 5 Tips to Reach Your Goals

(StatePoint) When you’re trying to reach your goal weight, it can sometimes feel like booby traps are around every corner: TV ads for big burgers, easy-to-grab snacks at checkout, and birthday cake after birthday cake at work. It’s time to fight back. Use these five tips from the experts at Nutrisystem to turn your whole world into a willpower-generating super machine and keep flying toward your goals. • In the Kitchen: STOCK UP. Part of what makes badfor-you foods easy to grab is that they’re, well, so easy to grab -- just unwrap it or dig your hand in a bag, and you’re satisfying your hunger faster than you realize what you’re eating. The solution: Make “unlimited” foods just as easy to eat in a hurry. Chop celery, broccoli, cucumbers and other no-guilt options long before you’re hungry so when you want a quick snack, they’re as handy as a handful of chips. “Healthy snacks will keep you ontrack without sabotaging your progress,” says Courtney McCormick, manager of clinical research and nutri-

tion at Nutrisystem. “Vegetables are high in fiber and will keep you full longer than unhealthier options.” • In the car: GET PACKED. Have you ever come home from work planning to go to the gym... and then you don’t? The couch feels a little too comfortable or the pile of mail distracts you and you wind up skipping your sweat session? A little preparation can shut down this excuse: Keep a fully-packed gym bag in your car or at work. You won’t even need to come home before heading to your class, run, swim or strength session. • Around town: ARM YOURSELF. You can’t always sit down to a fresh meal or snack. But you can be ready when cravings strike: Carry a packet of Nutrisystem FreshStart Shakes, a sandwich bag of raw almonds or homemade trail mix. This way, when you

need a little blood sugar spike, you’re ready with options that you control, rather than letting hunger pangs steer you toward something you regret. • On your phone: PICTURE ACHIEVEMENT. People check their phones on average 52 times a day, according to a recent Deloitte study. Let each instance push you toward your goals. Change the background on your lock screen to an image that inspires you to stick with your plan. They’re easy to find: Fire up Pinterest and search for “inspiration,” “motivation” or other keywords that you like. • At work: MOVE AWAY FROM THE DISH. Few things in life sabotage the best diet plans faster than the workplace candy dish. You’re working on something, hit a wall, get up for a walk and there it is, right in the breakroom: a huge bowl of gum drops. Decrease your tendency to grab from the communal bowl by moving away from it. Scientists found that subjects ate 1.8 more pieces of candy daily when the bowl was placed on their desk versus two meters away. More tips for achieving weight loss goals can be found at Nutrisystem.com. Don’t get derailed. A few smart habits can help you avoid temptation and remember your long-term goals.

Special to the CNF Corinth, MS – February 20, 2019 —

Biggersville Fire & Rescue proudly announces the 2018

Bagwell Service Award recipient. Ms. Rachelle Stafford

is a recognizable face to anyone in the Biggersville community. She has spent decades serving the Biggersville community through volunteering at Biggersville School sporting events in the concession stands and working untold hours without recognition or compensation. She continually loves and invests into the children of our community and was a unanimous choice for the 2018 award. The Bagwell Service Award, started in 2013 and named for Biggersville’s first Fire Chief, Mr. Bill Bagwell, which served as Chief from 1980 until 1991, is a recognition of those in the Biggersville and surrounding communities of Alcorn County that live a

life of service through selflessness and volunteering. Those community-minded people that offer these attributes deserve recognition for their efforts to make the Biggersville community a better place. “Ms. Stafford exemplifies the qualities that this award was created for”, stated Chief Jonathan Rider, “she gives of herself to this community and asks nothing in return.” The award was presented during the presented during the Biggersville High School Boys Basketball First-Round North Mississippi Playoffs at BHS on Tuesday, February 20, 2019. Ms. Stafford was greeted with a standing ovation from a packed

gymnasium after she had to be encouraged to stop working in the concession stand long enough to accept her award, then she promptly went right back to work serving her community. You can find additional information at www.biggersvillefire.com/bagwellaward Nominations for the 2019 Bagwell Service Award will open near the end of this year and will be presented in early 2020. A digital nomination form will be open for members of the public to submit nominees and help share their stories. More information about submitting nominees for next year’s award will be released at a later date.

10 Doctor-Recommended Healthy Habits

(StatePoint) Are you looking for tangible ways to improve your health? Not sure where to start? Consider the top recommendations from the American Medical Association (AMA). “From time to time, it’s important to consider your personal goals, and how you can make positive health choices,” says AMA President Barbara L. McAneny, M.D. “Small lifestyle changes today can have a lasting effect in improving your health.” To help you get start, Dr. McAneny and the experts at the AMA are offering 10 recommendations to help you determine where you can make the most impactful, long-lasting improvements to your health. 1. Learn your risk for type 2 diabetes by taking the self-screening test at DoIHavePrediabetes.org. Steps you take now can help prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes.

3. Know your blood pressure numbers. Visit LowerYourHBP.org to better understand your numbers and take necessary steps to get your high blood pressure -- also known

2. Be more physically active. Adults should do at least 150 minutes a week of moderateintensity activity, or 75 minutes a week of vigorous-intensity activity.

m Roo ing Din ables t T a ting star

as hypertension -- under control. Doing so will reduce your risk of heart attack or stroke. 4. Reduce your intake of processed foods, especially those with added sodium and sugar. Also reduce your consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and drink more water instead. 5. If your health care professional determines that you need antibiotics, take them exactly as prescribed. Antibiotic resistance is a serious public health problem and antibiotics will not make you feel better if you have a virus, such as a cold or flu. 6. If consuming alcohol, do so in moderation as defined by the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans -- up to one drink per day for women and two drinks per day for men, and only by adults of legal drinking age. 7. Talk with your doctor about tobacco and nicotine use and quit. Declare your home and car

smoke-free to eliminate exposure to secondhand smoke. 8. Pain medication is personal. If you are taking prescription opioids, follow your doctor’s instructions, store them safely to prevent diversion or misuse, and properly dispose of any leftover medication. 9. Make sure your family is up-to-date on their vaccines, including the annual influenza vaccine for everyone age six months or older. 10. Manage stress. A good diet and daily exercise are key ingredients to maintaining and improving your mental health, but don’t hesitate to ask for help from a friend or mental health professional when you need it. The lifestyle choices you make now will have long-lasting impacts. So, prioritize your longterm health by forming great habits.

Steamed Fish With a Jamaican Twist Eating fish is an excellent way to add a low-fat, good-quality protein, omega-3 fatty acids, minerals and vitamins to your diet. Two servings of fish per week will greatly benefit your health. The high amounts of protein in fish also aid in the regulation of blood sugar for those with diabetes. If you’ve been timid about preparing fish, try the steaming method. Cooking “en papillote” — meaning “in paper” in French — is a method in which you seal the food in a pouch and bake it. The food essentially steams in the oven in its own juices.

This Jamaican-Style Steamed Fish recipe is cooked “en papillote.” It’s a beautiful dinner party dish because it’s easy to prepare in advance and cooks quickly. Present each diner with their own aromatic packet of steamed fish and beautifully cooked vegetables in a delicious sauce. Jamaican-Style Steamed Fish done “en papillote” is a new twist on cooking fish. JAMAICAN-STYLE STEAMED FISH You also can prepare the steamed fish in this recipe using sheets of aluminum foil or in small, lunch-sized paper bags. Twist or fold the ends to seal the foil or the paper bag closed. 4 (8-ounce) fillets, use red snapper, tilapia, salmon, catfish, orange

roughy, perch, whiting or whitefish 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 small yellow onion, peeled and sliced into rings 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, divided 1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper, divided 1 teaspoon ground allspice, divided 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper 4 cloves garlic, peeled and coarsely chopped 1/4 teaspoon fresh, peeled, minced ginger 12 cherry tomatoes, sliced

12 white button mushrooms, sliced 2 cups broccoli florets 1 small red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and diced Leaves from 4 sprigs fresh thyme Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon 1/2 cup water 1 tablespoon soy sauce 4 (12 by 14-inch) sheets parchment paper 1. Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onions to the pan and season with a teaspoon each of salt and pepper, 1/2 teaspoon allspice and the cayenne pepper. Add garlic and ginger and continue cooking until the onions are slightly wilted. Set pan aside. 2. Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Fold the four pieces of parchment paper in half. Cut each folded sheet into

half of a heart shape, staying close to the outside edges of the paper when cutting out the shape. Place opened, heart-shaped pieces of parchment on a rimmed baking sheet. Place each fish filet to one side of the fold line of the heartshaped parchment, at least 2-inches from the paper’s edge. Place equal amounts of the onion mixture with any remaining liquid on top of the fish fillets. Place equal amounts of the cherry tomatoes, mushrooms and broccoli florets on the fish. Sprinkle vegetables with an equal amount of bell pepper, thyme and lemon zest. 3. Fold the top half of the parchment paper over the fish and vegetables to enclose. Starting at the top of the heart-shape, fold about 1/2 inch of the edge toward the center. Seal the

paper closed by rolling, pinching and flattening the edges of the paper to form a “hem.” When the hem reaches the bottom tip of the heart, leave a small opening so you can add the steaming liquid. 4. Mix together lemon juice, water and soy sauce. Pour equal amounts of the liquid into each packet. Twist the bottom inch or two of the parchment to seal it, and fold it underneath to complete the seal. 5. Bake 11 to 12 minutes, or until the packets have puffed up. Remove the pan of fish from the oven and let the fish rest for 2 minutes before opening the packets. The fish should be opaque and flake easily in the center. If the fish is not fully cooked, bake an additional 2 to 3 minutes.

• “The first time we painted the walls in our house, one of us had stepped in some paint while wearing socks and, not realizing it, had tracked some paint on the carpet. Since then, we always go barefoot when painting, since we can feel it if we step in paint and can clean it off before it gets tracked around the house.” — M.M. in Florida • “If you have leftover bits of fabric that is pretty or still useful, save it in a box or bag for other projects. You can use fun fabric scraps to patch kids’ clothes or for doll clothing. They also can be used to make sachets or for gift decoration. Quilters might appreciate these scraps for their projects.” — E.D. in Massachusetts • “When threading a needle, spray the end of the thread with hairspray to make it stiffer and to hold the fibers together.” — O.A. in New Mexico • It’s important to clean your exterior windows and screens at least yearly, and many people do this in the spring. Here’s a good way to make putting those clean screens back up a little easier. As you remove them, number each one on the inside with a permanent marker. Number each window casing with the same number as well. Do this in a discreet place. When the screens are ready, you’ll know instantly which window to return them to. • Unlined leather gloves can be easily washed. Just put them on and wash your gloved hands with a little warm water and mild detergent. Rinse and blot, then smooth into shape to dry.

The brain’s strong point is its flexibility.” • In 1911, it became illegal in China to wear a pigtail. • One of Ernest Hemingway’s early English teachers claimed that the future Nobel Prize winner would “never learn to write.” • More from the files of hangover cures from around the world: In Japan, pickled plums are reputed to ease the morning-after ails; in Italy, it’s (quite sensibly) coffee.

March Proudly Into Spring, But Beware!

J. Moffett Walker, Retired Counselor & Author March is just around the corner and citizens can look forward to positive times: (1) Ash Wednesday, March 6th; (2) Daylight Saving Time, March 10th; (3) St. Patrick's Day, March 17th and (4) Spring, March 20th. I wish that everything was as positive as those four. However, everyday now citizens must watch out for FRAUD! Fraud is on the increase. Often I see on television or read in a paper or a magazine something about fraud. One example is the increasing fraud telephone calls many individuals are receiving from someone trying to run a game on consumers. This happens on home and cell telephones, even if the numbers are registered with DO NOT CALL My husband and I answer ONLY

NUMBERS WE KNOW, Examples of POSSIBLE FRAUD: 1. Giving free home security systems--- saying it is FREE, but the home owner has to pay for the monitoring. 2. Calling to reduce a student loan--- many, like my husband and I, have no student loans. 3. Calling to reduce one's credit card interest rate because of the excellent payment record. If they were legitimate-all they have to do is reduce it. 4. Calling to sell life and burial insurance. How did they get that number? 5. Calling to inform one that he/she is a PUBLISHING CLEARING HOUSE winner. 6. Calling to inform one he/she has to report to court and how they can help. 7. Calling to inform one about what they need to do to receive a new MEDICARE CARD. 8. Calling to inform one about a trip or cruise. 9. Calling to explain senior benefits older folk need to know. 10. Calling to give one FREE back and leg braces. I recommend that if you do not know who the caller is, avoid answering the phone. Remember fraud callers are sophisticated now. They used to be mostly 800s numbers or numbers from another state, but now many have Mississippi numbers as well. All I have to say is, BEWARE.

HEALTH

Study: Wellness Confusion, Lack of Support Can Impact Weight Loss

(StatePoint) If you are like many Americans, you probably read advice about health and wellness everywhere, from news feeds to social media. But, despite the abundance of information, many are still struggling to reach their weight loss goals. So, what is the cause of this disconnect? While many Americans are no longer in the dark about healthy eating – as 92 percent believe they know the right foods to eat -- more than half still knowingly make poor food choices daily, and two-thirds are currently looking to lose weight, according to a new report commissioned by Jenny Craig. One challenge contributing to this disconnect is confusing buzzwords that many weight loss programs and products use in their marketing. Today, “wellness” products are popping up everywhere, though 42 percent of Americans say

they are unsure how to even define the term. Fortunately, experts say that making the leap from knowing what to do, to actually doing it, can be made easier with the right tools and support. “Having a science-based structured plan as well as ongoing support increases the likelihood people can find success on their weight loss journey,” says Pamela Peeke, MD, chair of the Jenny Craig Science Advisory Board. One important area of support, Dr. Peeke points out, is in meal planning. Nearly three in five peo-

ple spend seven to 14 hours planning and preparing meals each week. A program that offers nutritionally-balanced, chef-crafted meals can not only help reduce stress (the top cited reason for weight loss struggles) but also free up valuable hours to get more sleep or focus on another area of your overall health. What’s more, the report found that nearly nine in 10 Americans (88 percent) believe that having healthy, prepared meals would help them reach their weight-related goals. Another critical tool for sustainable weight loss is guidance and motivation. Unfortunately, less than half of those surveyed say they have adequate support to be at a healthy weight. That is why science-driven, structured weight loss programs like Jenny Craig can be good options, as they offer ongoing, one-on-one support from a personal consultant that can help people stay focused on their goals while learning about portion control and other ways to develop healthy eating habits. The customized support from a dedicated consultant allows you to personalize your weight loss plan, talk through challenges, track your progress and get the encouragement and guidance you need to help you reach your goal. Learn more about how to achieve your health goals at jennycraig.com. If you are struggling to lose weight, getting support and straightforward guidance may be able to help you find success.

Tips to Get Control of Your Spending and Budget Effectively (StatePoint) Finances can be a significant source of stress in your life, especially if you do not have a clear picture of your income and expenses. In a recent survey conducted by CFP Board, 77 percent of Americans said they find it easy to spend money, but nearly 60 percent do not track their spending. More than one-third of those surveyed acknowledge that they spend more than they save. A well-crafted budget provides financial clarity, and is an essential tool for managing your finances. Outlining your spending for specific household needs over a period of time can give you more control over your money and better position you to meet financial goals. In order to create an effective budget, you must first gain an accurate understanding of your cash flow, or the amount of money that flows in and out of your household. Start by determining your monthly income, then calculate the amount you spend on essential expenses every month. Any income remaining after your expenses are paid can be allocated for saving, investing or recreational spending. A Certified Financial Planner (CFP) profes-

sional can help you make these calculations and provide guidance on how to use leftover income. Here are four recommendations for evaluating cash flow and getting started on your budget: 1. Think about your “money rules.” Do your spending and savings decisions vary based on the source of income? You might use income from a work bonus differently than your regular work pay, for example. If there is a difference, how does each decision support your monthly budget needs and long-range financial priorities? 2. Be sure to account for all payment methods: checks, cash, credit and debit cards, automatic payroll deposits and deductions, online payments and other payment accounts such as PayPal, Zelle or Venmo. Taking the time to collect all the statements necessary to create a true picture of existing money flows is imperative to taking financial control. 3. Reconsider automated purchases. Keeping credit card information on file with online retailers such as Amazon and iTunes makes shopping quick and painless, but it also makes it easier to overspend.

Taking the time to enter payment information manually means more time to consider a purchase before completing your order. 4. Think of your budget as a “spending and saving” plan. Consider including a line item for regular savings as a cash expense.

Budgeting can be tricky, and it is only one piece of the financial puzzle. Consider partnering with a financial planner to create a comprehensive and personalized financial plan that includes a household budget.
