Greene County worries for citizens mental health after tornado
The Linton Assembly of God Church has counseling available for people who may be struggling during this time. Greene County EMA Director Roger Axe encourages people to lean on others for support.
'They have to realize that they are not alone. A lot of times people feel alone because this is not talked about. It's a stigma,' said Axe.
Organizations are also providing essential resources to those impacted, such as food and water. Those supplies are available at the former National Guard Armory in Linton.

The Diet That Could Slash Your Cancer Risk by Nearly 25 Percent
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Cutting back on meat is a well-known way to reduce the risk of cancer, and a new study found evidence that the risk reduction might be greater than you think. A study conducted by researchers from the Adventist Health Study-2 (AHS-2) found that some vegetarian diets are linked to significantly lower rates of cancer. The researchers followed 79,468 Seventh-day Adventists from the United States and Canada over an average of 7.9 years. Stock image of vegetables. Stock image of vegetables. Photo by Aamulya / Getty Images Promising Results All participants were cancer-free at the start of the study, which assessed diet through a validated food frequency questionnaire and tracked new cancer diagnoses via state and provincial cancer registries. Some of the groups involved showed nearly a one-quarter reduction in risk compared with nonvegetarians. "There are many indications that more fruit and vegetables and less meat may be protective for certain cancers," study author Gary Fraser told Newsweek in an email. "Vegans exemplify such dietary choices more than any other group, perhaps. So, evaluating their risk 'adds to the story', potentially showing consistency with other work." What the Study Found Overall, vegetarians had a 12% lower risk of all cancers combined and an 18% lower risk of so-called "medium-frequency" cancers, which include melanoma, thyroid, ovarian, pancreatic, stomach, lymphoma and other less common sites. When broken down by diet type, vegans showed an even larger benefit—a 24% lower risk of developing any cancer. Lacto-ovo-vegetarians and pesco-vegetarians also had reduced risks to a lesser extent. Specific cancer sites where vegetarians saw notable reductions included: Colorectal cancer : 21% lower risk among all vegetarians, with pesco-vegetarians showing a 39% reduction. : 21% lower risk among all vegetarians, with pesco-vegetarians showing a 39% reduction. Stomach cancer : 45% lower risk in vegetarians overall. : 45% lower risk in vegetarians overall. Lymphoproliferative cancers (lymphomas and lymphoid leukemias): 25% lower risk in vegetarians, with reductions seen in both vegans and lacto-ovo-vegetarians. "Pesco-vegetarians are like vegans in consuming no red meats or chicken, and also substantially make up for that with more fruits and vegetables," Fraser told Newsweek. "But so do lacto-ovo-vegetarians, yet the pesco-vegetarians probably do a little better. "At this point, we can only speculate that long-chain n-3 fatty acids may offer some additional protection. The vegans do not do quite so well for this cancer, perhaps due to their absence of dairy milk and its calcium content." Weight and Diet Composition Adjusting for body mass index (BMI) reduced but did not eliminate the associations, suggesting that part of the protective effect could be due to the lower average BMI seen in vegetarians. The researchers also noted that plant-based diets are typically higher in fruits, vegetables, nuts and legumes, which provide phytochemicals thought to protect against cancer, and exclude red and processed meats, which are recognized risk factors for certain cancers. No Evidence of Harm Importantly, the study found no indication of increased risk for any cancer type among vegetarians. For some cancers, particularly gastrointestinal types, the researchers said the evidence of protection was consistent with previous findings. "Many of the authors were already vegetarian, either lacto-ovo- or pesco-," Fraser told Newsweek. "I am not aware that any of us have moved further toward veganism, perhaps because our data do not suggest much benefit in vegans from total mortality. [...] "Vegetarian diets seem to allow significantly more people to achieve old age, but once there, being too strict may no longer be optimal. This needs more research." What's Next The researchers were clear that the study cannot prove cause and effect, but they called the results "strong and persuasive" enough to suggest that vegetarian diets may offer real public health benefits with minimal downside.

After closing for most of the summer, Pinehurst No. 4 is back with all new greens
A rough winter in North Carolina produced issues with the greens on Pinehurst Resort's No. 4 course that forced a truly painful decision for those associated with the famous complex — closing the entire course for much of the summer. Originally a Donald Ross design that opened in 1919, the layout for No. 4 was renovated extensively over the years, most recently in 2018 by Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner. It has since been used as one of the courses during the 2019 U.S. Amateur and in the top-tier North & South Amateur. No. 4 is ranked third on Golfweek's Best ranking of top public-access courses in North Carolina, trailing only the No. 2 and new No. 10 courses. The No. 4 course ranks 97th on the list of top modern courses in the United States, and it ties for 29th on the ranking of top resort courses in the United States. The course closed in mid-May so that the process could begin and reopened for play last week. The Ultradwarf Bermuda greens have been in rough shape, but resort operators had been told they should recover as spring warmed up the courses and promoted the growth of the grass. That didn't happen as hoped, so the resort made the difficult decision to close the course instead of sending out golfers to play with less-than-stellar conditions. Matt Barksdale, the vice president of golf at Pinehurst Resort, said the process was an arduous one. "To be able to execute stripping 18 greens, then laying 18 greens is not necessarily an easy task," he said. "It's not just ripping up the grass and putting grass back down. We ended up going down to the base layer. We updated all the drainage on all the greens. We put a gravel layer and a sand layer, plus the mix layer. "And then, on top of that, made sure that Gil signed off on all of the contours for the greens." Pinehurst Resort currently is home to 10 full-sized layouts, including the famed No. 2 that has hosted several U.S. Opens in recent decades and the new No. 10 designed by Tom Doak that opened last year. It was announced that architects Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw will build the new No. 11 course for the resort.
