The only thing dads can't do is
breastfeed. Dads can soothe a crying baby, change
diapers, carry the baby and play—all of which can be
very rewarding for the baby, fun and satisfying for dad,
and a great help to mom.
For more information,
contact the breastfeeding peer counselor at the Logan
County Department of Public Health, 217-735-2317, ext.

Saturday
night the Lincoln High School Railers were the comeback kids, taking out the
Springfield Senators with ease. There may have been concern in some
circles that Lincoln might come out flat following Friday night's three-point loss
to No. 1 Lanphier. But, on the contrary, the Railers seemed to use the
confidence gained in almost knocking off the state's top team to jump out to a
fast start and cruise to the win. Above, Christian Van Hook goes high and rejects
a Senator shot.
