Welcome,
spring? Do we dare hope that these little flowers and
sprigs of green grass know more about the weather than the
groundhog does? While many have enjoyed this mild winter,
such winters can also bring on their own type of spring and
summer problems, such as insects that have survived in soils
that never actually froze solid this year.

Because of the increased risk of contaminated water or
poor living conditions during a disaster or emergency,
the continuation of breastfeeding is especially
important because human breastmilk contains all the
nutrients a baby needs.
For more information,
contact the breastfeeding peer counselor at the Logan
County Department of Public Health, 217-735-2317, ext.

to congratulate Philadelphia Warriors Wilt Chamberlain (13) in Hershey, Pa.,
after he scored his 100th point in a 169-147 win over the New York

the magic numbers in sports.
