Starkville has
seen some good
times, and Mayor
Lynn Spruill doesn’t
see that changing
anytime soon.
Spruill, speaking
to the Starkville Ro-
Spruill
tary Club on Monday
to deliver an update on the state
of the city, rolled through a list of
the accomplishments the board of
aldermen and her administration
have accomplished in the nearly
two years since they took office.
During the talk, Spruill said
she’s “still riding high” from the
success of the 1-percent tax vote for
the city’s parks system.

prone to elections with razor-thin

Health tip
n Choose sleep superfoods: While it’s important to avoid a big, heavy meal right before bed (a full
stomach will disturb your sleep), some foods may actually help you snooze. If you’ve had a few nights of
restless sleep, make a light whole-wheat-pasta dish with fresh vegetables, a little diced chicken breast,
tomato sauce, and a sprinkle of Parmesan for dinner. This meal contains a snooze-friendly combination
of protein and tryptophan, an amino acid that converts to sleep-promoting serotonin in the body.
