Duke"
One wgbt after Ten-y had a career

Waters came calling. Bucky
congratulated Holland for bis 30+ i
points andtfacy talked about Holland
saving an out-of-bounds ball thai
nuractdousty weal through the hoop
Waters then introduced Duke star
An Hey man saying, 'Terry, come
to Duke and this is the guy you'll be
getting the ball to ."
Holland still wasn t convinced
until Lefty put the hard sell on his
mother Lefty emphasized that
Davidson was an all men > school'
where Terry couldn 't get into trouble
About that time. Terry said.
"Coach, it's prom night. I've gotta
go." Letty courageously
volunteered. "Here, Terry, take my
car." About five miles down the
road. Terry says he realized he just
Lefty alone with his Mother By the
time the prom ended. Terry was
gutag to Davidson. Years later, when
Holland was a rookie head coach in
the ACC. his VirgtniaCavaliers were
picked to go winless in the league.
Terry dropped by Gene Corrigan's
office, his athletic director -' 'Gene,
if we win three ACC games, will you
still love me '"
"Terry.' replied Corrigan.
"We'll still love you. We'll miss
you, but we'll love you."

Pediatric Pointers

Thnuhts an infection caused by a
yea* infrctMBitoaoMOBlk laan
ofthemotfhlt produces white f*u. hes
that coat fee inside of the mouth and
sometimes the tongue The patches
cannot be washed away or ?iped off
easil y like milk Thrush occurs in both
breast fed and bottle fed babies m
areas of the wov'b irritated by
prolonged sucking or large pacifiers
or nippies It can also occur whea your
child is taking a strong antibiotic The
thrush is not contagious
There are several suggestions that
will help eliminate thrush once it has
begun. The best way to kill the yeast
is with a prescription medicine called
Nystatin Place on; ml in the mouth
four times a day Place it in the front
of the mouth or wherever you see the
thrush To kill the infection, the
medicine must actually touch the
yeast, it doesn't do any good once it is
swallowed. If the thrush doesn't
respond in a few days, nib the Nystatin
directly on the affected areas with
gauze wrapped around your finger or
a cotton swab
Apply the medication after meals,
or at least wait 30 minutes after
days or until the thrush has been gone
Reduce sucking ?"2*?Jweat>
an sucking a* fnStfitfforyour'chS
temporarily uae a cup, spooo or
dropper. Eliminate the pacifier
temporarily except when your child
really needs it to go to sleep. If he is
using a larger pacifier, switch to a
smaller one. Soak pacifiers and all
nipples u> hot tap water IS minutes
before giving them to the child. If the
thrush recurs and your child is bottle
fed, switch to a nipple made from
silicone or one with a different shape
If your child has a diaper rash
along with thrush, the rash is probably
a yeast infection, too. You may need
to check with your doctor about a
prescription ointment
That's all on thrush. Don't forget
to attend the Lumbee Fall Pow Wow
on September 3d-October 2. It's going
to be a big one! Continue to support
the Lumbee Bill and our new tribal
Chairman and Council. Take care,
and we'll talk next week!
Educational Notes j I

American Flavor in the air in Robeson

AmigaiA project co-sponsored by

Center Al I parents are urged to attend
this important meeting
Much has happened over the last
few years to the people of the Lumbee
Cheraw nation. We have gone from
being treated as second class citizens
to being full partners in the economic
and social as well as political arenas
of the county. We have anew form of
government with our recently elected
tribal council. We have Lumbee
Cheraw educators, professionals,
legislators and business owners. We
are poised on the verge of federal
recognition. As a people, we have
entered into every field possible.
Politically. We have become a
force with which to be reckoned. On
the local level. We have the power to
put anyone into office we want. We
have elected a clerk of the court,
county commissioners and state
legislators just to name a few. The
times are truly changing
There was a time when the closest
an Indian could get to being Sheriff
was to get arrested. Not any more.
Today, the moat qualified candidate
in the Robeson County's sheriff race , ]
is an Indian. As the times change, so
should the old guard. The time has
come for new leadership in the
Sheriff soflice. Asapeopie, we should
not stand for the old way of thinking.
As a people, we have become
more self-sufficient and much more
self aware than ever before. We have
the ability and most importantly, the
opportunity, to add the position,
SHERIFF, to the rolls of Indian held
positions. Let's support the most
qusJffied candidatefortheoffir- vc*e
for Glenn Mavnor. The next Sheriff of
Robeson County.
