(WMC-TV) - Mid-South allergies can lead to brutal sinus infections, and now there is a new way to fight back.

It is that time of year where many Memphians suffer from sinus problems, but a center in the Mid-South is offering a quick in-office procedure to help.

"Half of my nose I could barely breathe out of," said Kenneth Moss describing his sinus and allergy problems.

"More recent years especially this year, it's worse for a lot of people," he said.

After 15 years of enduring Memphis allergy season – he was fed up.

That is where Doctor Jan Petri came it at Memphis Relief Center.

"It basically remodels the sinus open. And it does move bone, but without a lot of hard surgical techniques like we've used in the past," said Petri.

She performed a balloon sinuplasty on Moss. Using a small flexible device, the procedure went up through Moss' nose, inflated a small balloon, and opened up his sinus cavity.

MEMPHIS, TN- (WMC-TV) - As estranged husband Chris Jones goes to court again Wednesday, Heather Palumbo-Jones' friends are preparing for her funeral.

Former co-workers said while they grieve, they also remember the legacy she built.

"It has been tough. The days she was found I lapsed into my work model," said Gayle Resneck Small of Licensed Master of Social Work.

At the Jewish Family Service Center Small is struggling through an uncommon week.

She used to teach a toddler class upstairs at the JCC.

Heather was her assistant. Now, Small is a social worker tasked with counseling Palumbo-Jones' former co-workers through the grieving process.

"Certainly it's a grief for me and one that will need to be attended to. And one of the ways we can do that for one another is we can be there," said Smalls.

Palumbo-Jones left the JCC last summer to take a job as a teacher at Frayser Achievement Elementary School.

Fingertrick, a Memphis-area rock band, comprised primarily of former or current Christian Brothers High School students, has announced that it intends to contribute all of its earnings from Friday night’s Beale Street performance to the family of Andrew Svgdik.  Svgdik, himself a CBHS grad, was crossing a Chattanooga street last week when he and a friend were struck by a passing vehicle.  Svgdik was killed.  His friend, Kelsey Butler was injured.  Witnesses say Svgdik pushed Butler out of harm's way, saving her life.

Svgdik was 19 years old and had been enrolled as a freshman at UT Chattanooga.

Christopher Pietrangelo, lead guitarist and singer for Fingertrick, attended CBHS with Svgdik.  His younger brother, Patrick, the band’s bassist, is a freshman there.

The Fingertrick concert, which features several other local opening acts, starts at 8:00 p.m. at the New Daisy on Beale Street.  Tickets are $10.
