(StatePoint) Over halfof pet parents plan todress up their dogs forHalloween, according to aWag! survey.

Is your pup getting inon the Halloween fun? Theexperts at Wag!, on on-de-mand dog walking compa-ny, say that it’s important

Celebrating Halloweensafely with dogs

to keep Halloween activi-ties safe and comfortablefor dogs. A Halloween dogcostume should never cov-er eyes, ears or noses or bea choking hazard.

While all those sweettreats are exiting for kids– and even some adults --it’s important to stash such

trick-or-treating loot safe-ly away from pets, as com-mon candy ingredients canbe toxic to dogs.

You can help ensure aspooktacular Halloweenfor the entire family, in-cluding pets, by taking pre-caut ions to keep thecelebration hazard-free.

(NAPSI)—Halloweencan be a scary holiday forfamilies. Not because ofthe haunted houses, ghostsand goblins, but because oftooth decay.

On average, betweenparties and trick-or-treat-ing, kids consume threecups of sugar on October31 alone, but even beforethat, the battle has alreadybegun. Parents trick them-selves into thinking thatthis sweet holiday is justone day, but the treats be-gin early in the month andcontinue long after the cos-tumes are put away, andthe sugar-laden Thanks-giving and Christmas hol-idays loom ahead.

That’s one reason Octo-ber is National Dental Hy-giene Month. Another isthat while people general-ly have a brushing “rou-tine,” most don’t reallyknow how to take optimalcare of their teeth. Now,that is frightening.

It’s time to correct somemyths about mouths:

Myth #1—Brush AfterEvery Meal

Brushing right aftermeals, or after consumingsugar-sweetened drinks,can do more harm thangood. Surprised? After youeat or drink sugars andstarches, acids may bepresent on your teeth, at-tacking the enamel andcausing them to soften. Ifyou brush them before theenamel has time to rehard-en, the polishing com-pounds in your toothpaste

Saying ‘Boo’ to cavities thisHalloween: Preventive tipsand tricks for parents and kids

can act as abrasives andactually damage yourteeth. Tiny amounts of pre-cious enamel are beingsanded away forever if youbrush too soon.

To make things worse,the primary function oftoothpaste is to deliverminerals to repair yourenamel, and this reminer-alization is inhibited ifyour mouth is still acidicright after a meal or sweetbeverage.

The American DentalAssociation (ADA) recom-mends waiting an hour be-fore brushing to lower ther isk o f harming yourenamel. Experts also rec-ommend brushing withfluoride toothpaste 30 min-utes before eating. Thisensures that your enamelis strong and ready for theacid challenge of typicalf oods and sweeteneddrinks.

Myth #2—Fillings Arethe Only Way to TreatTooth Decay

The tradit ional ap-proach is to “drill it and fillit.” You’re born with a lim-ited amount of enamel andwhen it’s lost, it’s gone for-ever. Thankfully, new sci-ence-based research sayspreventive dental care canavoid painful fil l ings,crowns and root canals.Weakened enamel can re-pair itself with the rightproducts and protocols,such as those found atNewEnamel.com, a new,prescription-based dentalcare system that helps

remineralize teeth to re-verse early decay and low-er the risk of future decay,when used correctly.

Myth #3—Sensit iveTeeth Cannot Be Cured

Tooth sensitivity can bea sign of early tooth decay.Millions of Americans suf-fer from sensitive, painfulteeth, purchasing variousover-the-counter tooth-pastes seeking rel ief .These products often lacksufficient levels of neces-sary active ingredients andonly mask the sensitivity.Prescription-strength den-tal care products, contain-ing the optimal amounts ofkey minerals (calcium,phosphate and fluoride),can more effectively rem-ineralize teeth, greatly re-ducing sensitivity.

“It’s important to followvalidated best practices toprevent tooth decay, andkeep your enamel strongand healthy,” advises Dr.Anthony T. Fernandez,DDS. NewEnamel is de-signed to reduce the riskfactors that promote decay,and increase the protectivefactors that enhance repairto the surface of the tooth.The newly repaired enam-el surface is often strongerthan it was before treat-ment.

With some simple pre-cautions and changes toyour dental routine, youcan help your teeth last alifetime—and save your-self a lot of money and un-necessary visits to thedentist.

Bonding Against Adversityre-focuses on its mission

for Students with Potentialprogram have graduated,we will continue to followthose students’ progressuntil graduation and pro-vide or arrange for assis-tance as they may requireassistance; however, ourfocus related to this pro-gram has shifted to provid-ing Parents’ Workshops tohelp these parents assisttheir students. We willcontinue the parenting as-sistance workshops forthese parents and any oth-er of the parents, from theAISD schools, that wouldbe interested in participat-ing.

To reach the goals ofour mission we will be fo-cusing on Immigration, In-tegration and Educationthrough citizenship work-shops, citizenship prepara-tion classes,immigration-issues work-shops and forums, and civ-ic engagement awarenessworkshops for U.S. citizens.In addition to guidingLawful Permanent Resi-dents through the citizen-ship process, we willprovide presentations

about DAC, TPS and Fam-ily Preparedness .

Unfortunately, with there-focusing of our pro-grams, we will not be ableto host the CommunityHoliday dinner. We aregoing to miss the opportu-nity to provide this pro-gram; however, ourpartners are encouragingus to focus on programsrather than events.

We will be providingprograms for the better-ment of the communitywith our focus on immigra-tion, integration and edu-cation as the method of‘Helping Others HelpThemselves’. We appreci-ate the trust and supportyou have provided us overthe years and invite you tocontinue helping Bondingmeet its goal of creating astronger community by‘Helping Others HelpThemselves’.

Approval ofUniversityof HoustonCollege ofMedicine

Houston – Today,October 25, 2018, theTexas Higher Educa-tion CoordinatingBoard approved theUniversity of Houston'srequest to create aCollege of Medicine.Representative GarnetColeman (D-Houston)and RepresentativeArmando Walle (D-Houston) released thefollowing statement:

"We are pleased thatthe Texas HigherEducation Coordinat-ing Board has approvedthe creation of theUniversity of Houston'sCollege of Medicine.We worked togetherthe past few sessions toinclude a rider in thestate budget to helpmake the College ofMedicine a reality.

One of our primaryreasons we supportedthis endeavor is be-cause the University ofHouston College ofMedicine will focus oneducating primary carephysicians. Texas isprojected to needanother 6,260 primarycare physicians by2030.

Even though Hous-ton is home to theTexas Medical Center,significant healthdisparities persist inparts of the GreaterHouston area. TheUniversity of Houstonis the right institutionto reduce those persis-tent disparities be-cause the College ofMedicine will be able tointegrate with theUniversity’s existinghealth and health-related professions,colleges, and programsto mitigate the primarycare shortfall in medi-cally underservedareas.

Additionally, theCollege of Medicinewill lift the researchcapabilities of many ofthe existing researchcenters and activitiesalready occurring atthe University ofHouston."

Ask Rusty – Should IMarry My Girlfriend?

Dear Rusty: Mygirlfriend of nine yearswill be 66 on June 4thnext year. It was her planto begin taking half of herex-husband’s SS at thattime allowing hers togrow until she reached 70at which time her benefitwould slightly exceed halfof her ex’s. Three monthsago, I was diagnosed withan illness that may verywell shorten my time heresignificantly. So, I’mthinking if we get mar-ried she would qualify for100% of my SS after oneyear, which would be onlyfour months later thanwhen she could begintaking half her ex’s. So, Iguess, in that instanceshe would just begintaking half of my benefit.The big question is, whathappens if I pass onbefore we’ve been marriedfor a year? Is she stuckthen at her own reducedrate or can she go back toclaim her ex’s and allowher own to grow until age70? I was delayingcollecting my ownbenefits until age 66 inJanuary but begancollecting in August aftermy diagnosis. Thanks forany insight you can offer.Signed: Providing for myGirlfriend

Dear Providing: I’mvery sorry to hear of yourhealth situation, but Iapplaud you for tendingto your partner’s futureduring this difficult time.To start, I’d like to clarifythat spousal benefits andsurvivor benefits are twodistinctly different thingsin Social Security.Spousal benefits refer tobenefits given while bothspouses are living, whilesurvivor benefits refer tothose given when onespouse predeceases theother. While you and yournew wife would need to bemarried for at least oneyear for her to collectspousal benefits from you,you would only need to bemarried 9 months for herto be eligible for survivorbenefits. The distinction,of course, is that as yourspouse while you areliving she’d be eligible tocollect up to 50% of thebenefit you’re entitled toat your full retirementage, but as your survivor(after 9 months ofmarriage) she’d beeligible to collect 100% ofthe Social Securitybenefit you were receiv-ing at your death.

If you and yourgirlfriend get marriednow, she loses her abilityto collect only spousalbenefits from her ex-

spouse while you areliving, because she cannotcollect ex-spouse benefitswhile she is married. Butonce she is no longermarried that ability isrestored. So, if you wereto pass before you aremarried for 9 months shewould still have theoption (because she wasborn before 1954) ofclaiming only SocialSecurity spousal benefitson her ex-spouse’s recordwhile allowing her ownSS retirement benefit togrow by 8% per year untilshe reaches age 70. Atthat time, she wouldswitch to the higherbenefit on her own record.So, I believe there is littleor no risk to your girl-friend’s future SocialSecurity benefits for youto get married. If yourprognosis is good and youlive at least the required9 months, she can collectsurvivor’s benefits fromyour record equal to 100%of the amount you arereceiving at your death. Ifyou survive beyond oneyear she will be entitledto file for spousal benefitson your record and collect50% of your FRA benefitwhile you are living andthen switch to survivorbenefits when you pass.

But if your prognosis isnot good and you do notsurvive for the required 9months of marriage, yournew wife will still havethe ability (provided shehas not yet filed for herown benefits) to file a“restricted application forspousal benefits only” onher living ex-husband’sSocial Security recordand allow her own benefitto grow. Once again, I’mso sorry to hear of yourfailing health, but glad tobe able to provide youwith some Social Securityguidance and, hopefully,ease your anxiety at leaston this matter. My bestwishes go out to you atthis difficult time.

KORNERBY

MIKE KEENEY

The first Saturday ofNovember features two hugecollege football games, one inthe Big 12 and the other in theSEC.

In the Big 12, West Virginiaand Texas meet in Austin, whilein the SEC No. 4-ranked LSUhosts No. 1-ranked Alabama inBaton Rogue in what willprobably be played in prime timeon CBS.

The winner of the WVU-Texas game will move one gamecloser to playing in the Big 12title game on 1, while the winnerof the Alabama-LSU gamemoves one game closer to theSEC title game, also to playedon Dec. 1.

These two games will bemarkedly different, as theoffenses should rule the day inAustin, while the defenses rulethe day in Baton Rogue.

Both games should be mustviewing for college football fans,as should the Notre Dame-Northwestern game and thePenn State-Michigan game. TheIrish have a tricky road testagainst a game Northwesternteam. The Wildcats aren’t world-beaters, but they play hard andwould like nothing more than tothrow a wrench into NotreDame’s undefeated season. AMichigan win over Penn State inAnn Arbor would make JimHarbaugh’s team the favorite towin the Big 10 East after OhioState was exposed two weeksago in their 49-20 loss at Purdue.The Wolverines have one of thetop defenses in the country andthe offense is starting to comearound. Perhaps this is the yearHarbaugh breaks through andrewards the Michigan faithfulwith a College Football Playoff(CFP) berth. Only time will tell.

In the NFL, the suddenly hotTexans travel to Denver to takeon a Broncos team that mayhave saved its season, and itshead coach’s job, two weeks agowith a 45-10 thumping ofArizona. Granted, the Cardinalsare perhaps the worst team inthe NFL, but the Broncos badlyneeded that win. While theBroncos were routing theCardinals, the Texans won theirfourth straight game of theseason with a 20-7 win atJacksonville and in the processtook over first place in the AFCSouth. Maybe, just maybe, theTexans are serious playoffcontenders.

Sunday Night Football pitsAaron Rodgers against TomBrady as the Packers visitFoxborough in what should bean offensive shootout. OnMonday Night Football, theCowboys and recently acquiredwide receiver Amari Cooper willhost Tennessee. Dallas traded aNo. 1 pick for the speedy Cooperto give quarterback Dak Prescotta deep threat. Cooper has talent,but he also has a case of thedropsees, but perhaps a changeof scenery is what he needs.Jerry Jones and Jason Garrettsure hope so!

Before we take a look at thisweek’s games, let’s review lastweek’s record. A 9-3 weekupped the season record to 58-38 (60%). Now, onto this week’sgames.

HIGH SCHOOL

Eisenhower vs. Spring –Eric Jackson’s Eagles hostSpring on Thursday night inThorne Stadium. Two weeksago, the Eagles defeated Nimitz28-20 as quarterback ChristianSims threw for 158 yards andtwo touchdowns. Sevan Guidryadded 179 yards on the groundand two scores. The Eagles aresniffing a playoff berth andshould move one step closer tothe playoffs with a win overSpring on Thursday. My pick,Eisenhower 33, Spring 20

Aldine vs. DeKaney – HankSemler’s Mustangs dropped a34-7 decision to Spring twoweeks ago and face a struggling

Huge games in Big 12, SEC asTexas hosts WVU, ‘Bama heads to LSU

DeKaney team this week. In theloss to Spring, Jacory Howardhad another solid game rushingfor 111 yards. DeKaney lost toDavid 31-0. Look for another bignight from Howard as theMustangs pick up a hard-foughtwin this week. My pick, Aldine23, DeKaney 21

Nimitz at Westfield –Richard Slater’s Cougars willhave their hands full with aWestfield team that has been theclass of District 16-6A thisseason. Two weeks ago, theCougars dropped a tough 28-20decision to Eisenhower. JayvonDavis picked up 107 yards andone touchdown in the Ike game,while wide receiver KarlReynolds caught two passes for91 yards, and both of hisreceptions produced touchdowns(72 and 19 yards). My pick,Westfield 34, Nimitz 29

MacArthur vs. Davis – Twoweeks ago, James Showers’Falcons blanked DeKaney 31-0as running back DeMarcusBarlowe had a big night with 126rushing yards and threetouchdowns. Fellow runningmate Culverson Taylor added 78yards on the ground and onescore. Wayne Crawford’sGenerals dropped a 31-13decision to Westfield asquarterback Eric Delgado tosseda 43-yard scoring pass toArmando Ordenana. Look for theDavis rushing attack to takecommand as the Falcons keeptheir playoff hopes alive. Mypick, Davis 34, MacArthur 26

NCAA

Notre Dame at Northwest-ern – No. 3-ranked Notre Dametravels to Evanston, Ill. to take onNorthwestern on Saturday nightin a game ND head coach BrianKelly has to be concerned about.The Irish are obviously the moretalented team, but the Wildcatshave enough grit in them tomake this a competitive game.The Wildcats are led byquarterback Clayton Thorson(1,905 yards, 9 TDs), runningback Jeremy Larkin (346 yards,5 TDs) and wide receiver FlynnNagel (56 receptions, 693 yards,2 TDs). The Notre Damedefense must contain Thorsonand Nagel and keep them frommaking plays downfield. TheIrish offense should have a bigedge on the Wildcat defense. NDhas been much more efficient onoffense ever since Ian Book(1,151 yards, 11 TDs) took overat quarterback and DexterWilliams (370 yards, 4 TDs)became the starting runningback after missing the team’sfirst four games as he served asuspension. Book’s favoritereceiver is Miles Boykin (32receptions, 512 yards, 4 TD).Kelly knows if his team is to landone of the CFP slots, theyprobably need to go undefeated,so don’t expect a let down comeSaturday night. My pick, NotreDame 34, Northwestern 18

Penn State at Michigan –Michigan can take command ofthe Big 10 East with a win overPenn State on Saturday. TheWolverines look like a team thatcould also land a CFP spot ifthey win out, meaning they earna Big 10 title. The Michigandefense is stout and played verywell two weeks ago during its 21-7 win at Michigan State. Theoffense is coming around asquarterback Shea Patterson(1,523 yards, 12 TDs) andrunning back Karan Higdon (831yards, 6 TDs) are jelling at justthe right time. The Michigandefense will need to contain PSUquarterback Trace McSorley(1,461 passing yards, 11 TDs;554 rushing yards, 8 TDs) andrunning back Miles Sanders (772yards, 8 TDs). Look for theMichigan defense to turn inanother solid effort as Har-baugh’s team takes a big steptowards the Big 10 title game.My pick, Michigan 26, PennState 16

West Virginia at Texas –Texas fans have been waiting fortheir team to return to promi-nence and a win at home againsta very good West Virginia teamwould send a resoundingmessage to the rest of the Big 12that UT is indeed back. Texasentered last week’s game atOklahoma State ranked No. 6 inthe nation and a win over theCowboys would be the seventhstraight for Tom Herman’s team.West Virginia’s hopes for anundefeated season went up insmoke on Oct. 13 when theywere upset by Iowa State, 31-14.The Mountaineers played atBaylor last Thursday, which gaveDana Holgorson’s team a fewextra days to prep for the ‘Horns.The Texas defense will have itshands full with quarterback WillGrier (1,917 yards, 22 TDs) andhis host of talented widereceivers in Gary Jennings, Jr.(30 receptions, 402 yards, 6TDs), and David Sills V (32receptions, 390 yards, 7 TDs).This will be UT’s defensetoughest test of the season, butthat unit has been playing betterweek-by-week and should be upto the test. The Texas offenseshould have the edge on a so-soWVU defense. Quarterback SamEhlinger (1,534 yards, 11 TDs)should return after leaving theBaylor game with a sprainedshoulder on Oct. 13. He hassolid targets to throw to inLil’Jordan Humphrey (42receptions, 576 yards, 4 TDs)and Collin Johnson (41

receptions, 563 yards, 5 TDs).This is the sort of game UT fanshave been waiting for, and I havea feeling they won’t leave Royal-Memorial Stadium disappointedon Saturday. My pick, Texas 34,West Virginia 29

Alabama at LSU – No. 1-ranked Alabama brings its high-scoring offense into Death Valleyto face a LSU team that hasplayed especially well at homethis season, especially ondefense. Two weeks ago, theCrimson Tide rolled to a 58-21win at Tennessee, while the LSUdefense stymied MississippiState, 19-3. The LSU defensewill try to do what no otherdefense has been able to do thisseason, slow down ‘Bama QBTua Tagovailoa (2,066 yards, 25TDS) and the potent CrimsonTide offense. Alabama averages54 points a game and is loadedwith weapons. The widereceiving corps is fast andtalented led by Jerry Judy (31receptions, 777 yards, 10 TDs),Henry Ruggs III (24 receptions,444 yards, 7 TDs) and DevontaSmith (21 receptions, 409 yards,3 TDs). ‘Bama can also run itbehind Damien Harris (489yards, 4 TDs), Naje Harris (489yards, 4 TDs) and Josh Jacobs(267 yards, 8 TDs). If LSU hopesto pull off the upset, its offensemust control the clock and keepthe Alabama offense off the field.That’s easier said than done.LSU quarterback Joe Burrow(1,544 yards, 6 TDs) will rely onhis running game led by NickBrossette (697 yards, 10 TDs)and Clyde Edward-Helarie (521yards, 5 TDs) to chew up clockand keep Tua on the bench. Ithink LSU gives Alabama agame, but Nick Saban’s team isjust too good on offense to beslowed down for an entire game.Plus, the Tide know how to dealwith the pressure of playing inbig games and that will surfacecome Saturday night in BatonRogue. My pick, Alabama 31,LSU 23

NFL

Pittsburgh at Baltimore –One of the nastiest rivalries inthe NFL returns on Sunday whenthe Steelers visit the Ravens in akey AFC North game for bothteams. After a slow start to theseason, the Steelers have beencoming on lately and foundthemselves in first place in thedivision during their bye week asthe Ravens lost at home to NewOrleans when one of the game’sbest kicker, Justin Tucker,missed the first extra point of hisoutstanding career. This shouldbe a defensive battle, so bothteams’ offenses will need to takeadvantage of scoring opportuni-ties when they presentthemselves. Look for BenRothlisberger (2,033 yards, 12TDs) to look to make playsdownfield to speed widereceivers JuJu Smith-Schuster(42 receptions, 561 yards, 2TDs) and Antonio Brown (40receptions, 478 yards, 6 TDs).James Conner (453 yards, 7TDs) will probably once againhandle the running duties whilethe Steelers continue to wait onLe’Von Bell’s return. BaltimoreQB Joe Flacco (2,067 yards, 11TDs) should be able to makeplays against a suspect Steelerssecondary. Prior to their openweek, the Steelers won a bigroad game at Cincinnati andsomething tells me they do thesame this week to take control ofthe AFC North. My pick,Pittsburgh 23, Baltimore 20.

Houston at Denver – BillO’Brien’s team has turned itsseason around after losing itsfirst three game and they need tokeep the momentum goingheading into the second half ofthe season. Denver hasstruggled this year, but is toughat home, so don’t expect theTexans to look past the Broncosthis week. Two weeks ago intheir 20-7 win at Jacksonville,DeShaun Watson (1,937 yards,10 TDs) and DeAndre Hopkins(47 receptions, 707 yards, 4TDs) did just enough to get thewin, but it was the defense thatwon the day. Look for J.J. Watt,Jadaveon Clowney and Co. toonce again bring the heat asthey force a key turnover or twofrom Case Keenum (1,848 yards,8 TDs) as the Texans get a niceroad win to keep the momentumgoing. My pick, Houston 26,Denver 20

Green Bay at New England– What a treat for Sunday NightFootball as Rodgers and Bradymeet in prime time in whatshould be a fun game to watch.The Packers will be playing theirsecond straight road game andafter traveling to the West Coastlast week to face the Rams, thehit the East Coast this week totake on the surging Patriots.That’s a lot of traveling in a shortperiod of time. Rodgers (1,997yards, 12 TDs) should put up bignumbers against a struggling NEdefense. Look for him and widereceiver DaVante Adams (47receptions, 557 yards, 6 TDs) tomake some big plays on Sundaynight, and Brady (1,876 yards,16 TDs) will do the same withtight end Rob Gronkowski (26receptions, 408 yards, 1 TD) andrunning back James White (189rushing yards, 1 TD; 45receptions, 380 yards, 6 TDs).Gronk should be back aftermissing the Chicago game twoweeks ago with a knee and ankleinjury, which is good news forPatriot fans. This one should godown to the final possession andmy money is on Brady to makeone more play than Rodgers. Mypick, New England 38, GreenBay 36

Tennessee at Dallas – TheCowboys debut their newoffensive weapon in widereceiver Amari Cooper whenthey host Tennessee on MondayNight Football. Dallas fans arehoping Cooper is the deep threatquarterback Dak Prescott (1,417yards, 8 TDs) has been lackingthe first seven weeks of theseason that saw the Cowboysstruggle to a 3-4 record. Theirbye week came at just the righttime and it gave Cooper andPrescott an extra week to get toknow one another and developsome chemistry. If Cooper opensup the passing game, that shouldopen up running lanes forrunning back Ezekiel Elliott (619yards, 3 TDs), which would be abig boost to the Dallas offense.The Cowboys defense should beable to get to Titans QB MarcusMariota (1,030 yards, 3 TDs) andforce him into a turnover or two.The Titans struggle on offenseand those woes will continue onMonday night as the Cowboyslook to make a second-half runand get back in the NFC Eastrace. My pick, Dallas 31,Tennessee 18
