As the leaves
begin to fall,
the community is
reminded they
are not allowed
to rake them
into the

of leaves
coupled with
rain will make
the catch basins
plug up, causing
streets to
flood. Last
night's city
council meeting
discussed
leaf pickup
and the fact
that residents can be
ticketed for
raking leaves
into streets.

eats Kellogg's Frosted Flakes cereal at his home in Palo Alto,
Calif., on April 28. Tony the Tiger and Toucan Sam can
rest easy. Government officials fine-tuning guidelines for marketing

the voluntary guidelines, saying they are too broad and would limit
marketing of almost all of the nation's favorite foods, including
some yogurts and many children's cereals. (To read the full story,

Breastfeeding Myth: It is
normal for breastfeeding to hurt. Not true! Though some
tenderness during the first few days is relatively
common, this should be a temporary situation which lasts

For more information,
contact the breastfeeding peer counselor at the Logan
County Department of Public Health, 217-735-2317, ext.
246.
