From ilic Dobk ol the i Superintendent k ? -S by Dr. Harry Harding. Public Schools o> 'tobeson County As is always the case when I have the opportunity to recognise the accomplishments of students in our school system. I was very proud of the ten young people who appeared before the Board of Education at its May 27th meeting. All ot these students, you see. went bevond the confines of Robeson County to gain success in math and science competition going all the way to Albuquerque. New Mexico to obtain it. I'hey all participated in the National American Indian Science and Engineering Society Science Eair back in March. While six of them represented their high schools, the other four included Chyna Lock- , tear, a fifth grader at Pembroke Elementary, who won first place in Earth Science in the fifth grade division as well as first place in fifth 1 and sixth grade math competition and Kelly Jacobs, a sixth grader at ' Oxendine Elementary, who won first place in math team competition Also. Jarrod Bullard. a Prospect seventh grader, finished second in | zoology and Tiffany Scott, an eighth grader at St Pauls Middle, finished in env ironmental science. Among the high school winners. Janie Locklear took first place in twelfth grade physics and first place in team math competition for eleventh and twelfth grades and Heather Brewer of St. Pauls High took second place lor ninth grade environmental science as well as second place in ninth and tenth grade team math competition. Heather was also an IBM Award winner. Other high school winners include kimberly Locklear ot l.umberton High who took second place in tenth grade Phy sics and second place in team math competition for ninth and tenth grades; Kameron Richardson of South Robeson who took first place in twelfth grade environmental science and first place in eleventh and twelfth grade team math comrvririon and Elizabeth K. Locklear who won first place in botany at the tenth^rade level. Another student. Justin Deese of Purnell Svvett High, won first place in eleventh grade biochemistry and second place in team competition in eleventh and twelfth grade math. He also won the US Air Force Award and American Vacuum Society Award. Justin, however, went further as he became the first Robeson County student to place at the International AISES Science Fair when he received third place in clinical chemistry at the event in Louisville. Kentucky in May. It was quite an honor for a young man who was the only North Carolinian among 1.245 students from 32 countries who took part in that competition. It was also an honor for us to have him represent us- an indication that we have students in the Public Schools of Robeson County who can compete with students from anywhere. I salute Justin and all the others who represented us so well in Albuquerque. ' Pediatric Pointers by Dr. Joey Bell. Pembroke Pediatrics Breast-Feeding of Your Sewborn Your baby's growth and development are very important. You will be making decisions for your baby for many years, and one of the first choices you will have is how you wish to feed your baby. This decision is an important one. and you may talk about your choices with your and your baby's doctor as well as family members. Do you want to breast-leed or use a bottle and formula? Especially if you wish to breast-feed your infant, it is best to decide before he or she is born. This way you can start as soon as you have your baby. When deciding on the method of feeding, you should consider your lifestyle and costs. For example, breastmilk is the perfect food for your baby and if is free, but you may find the cost of formulas is worth, the convenience. This article will hopefully provide you with information to help you to make the choice that is best for you and your infant. Advantages of breast-feeding: 1. A mother's breast milk is nature's perfect food for helping your baby's body and brain to grow and develop. It is the only food a baby needs for about six months. You can even continue breast-feeding after your baby has started on solid foods. 2. Breast milk is easily digested by babies. It helps your baby to have comfortable bowel movements and constipation is rare. 3. Breast milk contains substances from the mother that help a baby stay healthy. Breast-feeding can help protect your baby from diarrhea, an ear infection, pneumonia, and other illnesses. 4.The act of breast-feeding can help to develop a close intimate relationship between you and your baby. 5. Breast-feeding may be more convenient. It is the perfect food and it is always with you and at the right temperature. 6. It is inexpensive. One might even say it is free. 7. It may not always be convenient to breast-feed your baby. Breast milk may be stored for use later. Your diet and health are always important, and especially so when breast-feeding to ensure that your baby is receiving the best possible breast milk. Milk production is influenced by how often you feed your baby and how effectively milk is removed from your breasts. It is also affected by your physical well-being, your diet, and how rest you receive. Some guidelines include: I. Eat a variety of foods including fruits, vegetables, breads and strains, dairv products, and meats. ~ 2. Drink plenty of liquids, especiallywater. Limit yourself to 2 cups of coffee, tea. cola, or other beverages containing caffeine a day. Caffeine passes into your breast milk and can make your baby irritable. 3. Taking a daily multivitamins for yourself or include a quart of milk (or an"equivalent amount or yogurt or cheese) to ensure that you are receiving enough vitamin D. calcium, and phosphorus. 4. Just as were true when you were pregnant, drugs and medications that you take may be passed to your baby and may be harmful. Commonly used drugs like acetaminophen, ibuprofen. penicillins, antihistamines. and decongestants are safe. If y ou have questions about any other drugs, please consult your doctor. 5. One or two glasses of alcohol per week are okay. Daily or heavy drinking may hurt your baby. 6. Smoking can decrease your milk supply, and nicotine can pass through your breast milk to your baby. As always, smoking in your house can harm your baby's lungs and make him or her more susceptible to infections. 7. Using illegal street drugs is harmful for both you and your baby. Other considerations: 1. If you wish to stop breast-feeding, it should be easy to sw itch to the bottle. However, it may not be easy to switch from bottle-feeding to breast-feeding. 2. Breast milk contains all the necessary vitamins and minerals except vitamin D and fluoride. Consult your doctor about when and how to add these important elements to your habv's diet. 3. Weaning or switching your baby to a cup will probably happen between 9 and 28 months depending on your baby. If you switch before 9 months of age. switch to bottle-feeding first. If older than 9 months, you may be able to switch directly to a cup Your Physician Your doctor is there for you and your babv to help ensure that your baby grows healthy and strong.
