If you read Sims’ firsthand account of working at Sun — “The Next Elvis; Searching for Stardom at Sun Records” — you won’t get an overdose of gossipy de- tails about stars she met, or vivid recounting of sexual escapades of rock ‘n’ roll pioneers.

The obesity epidemic across the United States has been par- ticularly devastating in Missis- sippi, where, five years ago, 40 percent of children were over- weight or obese, according to the state Department of Educa- tion’s Office of Healthy Schools. In 2007, the state legislature passed the Healthy Schools Act. It called for increased health and nutrition education at all grade levels and 150 minutes of exercise each week for students in kindergarten through the eighth grade. Scott Clements, director of the Mississippi Bureau of Child Nutrition, said the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act that the federal government implement- ed in 2010 changed the game. The act has had a strong im- pact in Columbus. In the last three years, Baker said bread products in each of the district’s Zach Odom/Dispatch Staff cafeterias are now whole grain.

Marriage of newlyweds, ages 96 and 95, questioned
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALEXANDRIA, Va. — n some ways, Rebecca Wright doesn’t understand all the fuss over her I96-year-old mother’s recent marriage. After all, she says, “Anybody who wants to get married must have a little demen- tia.” The courts, though, and some of Wright’s other relatives aren’t amused. And the future for newlyweds Edith Hill, 96, and Eddie Harrison, 95, is very much uncertain. “I guess I wanted company,” Hill said in an interview, explaining why she married. “I wanted somebody I could help, and they could help me. ... We were both single. My husband was gone. His wife was gone. We became the best of friends.” Robin Wright, Hill’s granddaughter, said the relationship is more romantic than Hill’s explanation allows. “You catch them kissing all the time,” she said. “They’re actually in love. Really in love. ... I know he’s part of the reason she gets up every morning.” Legally, though, the wedding has been problematic. Hill has been declared legally incapacitated for several years. A judge said at a hearing last month that Courtesy photo 40 YEARS AND COUNTING: The Stephen D.
