Fire damages Halloween attraction in Brandon
SUMMARY: The Brandon and Pearl fire departments responded to a fire at the Dark Zone Haunted House, a popular Halloween attraction in Mississippi, after it caught fire around 2 p.m. The owners suffered a significant loss, as the venue has contributed to local organizations for over 20 years. Tony Cox, a board member of the Exchange Club of Crossgates, expressed his devastation, highlighting that much of their fundraising goes to Child Abuse Prevention centers. He emphasized the impact of this loss on their ability to support these organizations, making this year’s fundraising efforts particularly challenging. The haunted house was expected to open in early October.

SUMMARY: In a recent “Wellness Wednesday” segment, Dr. Quinn discusses the impact of technology on health. He highlights both benefits, such as increased access to health information, and drawbacks, including reduced physical activity and disrupted sleep patterns due to screen exposure. Dr. Quinn observes that technology often distracts users, leading to time loss and decreased engagement in daily activities. He suggests a technology detox, advocating for 24-hour breaks from social media to foster mental well-being. Additionally, he notes that prolonged screen time can cause eye strain and reduce active learning opportunities, particularly among students using AI for schoolwork.
