The certification process is based on high and rig- orous standards that evaluate teaching practice through perfor- mance-based assessments; the ultimate result is improved perfor- mance and achievement for North Carolina's students. During the January Board of Education meeting, Melanie Brinson was recognized for having achieved her National Board Certification. Ms. Brinson began her teaching career in Carteret County in 2013. She began teaching for Pamlico County Schools in August 2015 as a Language Arts/Social Studies teacher at Pamlico County Middle School. Since August 2018, she has served at Fred A. Anderson Elementary School as a 3rd grade teacher and, beginning this school year, as a 5th grade teacher. Lisa Jackson, Superintendent of Pamlico County Schools, said, “The Board of Education and I are extremely proud of Ms. Brinson’s accomplishment. This certification represents an enor- mous amount of time and energy on her part, but it is all well worth it, with a number of benefits to be realized for both Ms. Brinson and her students.

A nutritious diet can help people maintain healthy weights, potentially lowering their risk for diabetes as a result. Diabetes diagnoses are on the rise, and the numbers are jaw dropping. According to the World Health Organization, the number of people with diabetes totaled 108 million in 1980. By 2017, the International Diabetes Foundation was reporting that figure had risen to 425 million adults, with estimates that it may be as high as 629 million by 2045. Diabetes is not just a global health issue, but a financial concern as well. The IDF reported that diabetes caused at least $727 billion in health expenditure in 2017. Despite its prevalence and the financial toll it takes on families across the globe, many people, including parents, admit they are in the dark about warning signs of diabetes. In HIRE EDUCATION fact, in 2018 researchers with the IDF released a report indicating that four in five parents YOUR have trouble recognizing the warning signs of diabetes. That can be detrimental to their own health as well as the health of their children. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases notes that symp- toms of type 2 diabetes, which is the most common form of the disease, often develop slowly and can be so mild that people do not notice them. However, people who notice any of the following symptoms should discuss them with their physicians immediately: • increased thirst and urination, • increased hunger, • fatigue, • blurred vision, • numbness or tingling in the feet or hands, • sores that do not heal, and • unexplained weight loss. Parents who notice their children exhibiting any of the above-mentioned symptoms should ask their youngsters if they are feeling unusual in any other ways, as kids may not think to report symptoms to their moms and dads. In addition, parents should call their children’s pediatricians if they notice any symptoms that may be indicative of diabetes. Much is still unknown about diabetes, including, in certain instances, its causes. For example, the NIDDK says that scientists think that type 1 diabetes is caused by genes and environmental factors, including viruses, that may trigger the disease. Research as to the potential causes of type 1 diabetes is ongoing. Lifestyle factors and genes play a role in the formation of type 2 diabetes. For example, being overweight, obese and physically inactive are factors that increase a person’s likeli- hood of being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Therefore, a healthy diet and routine exercise can be great ways for people to reduce their risk for type 2 diabetes. Insulin resistance, genes and family history are some additional factors that scientists have linked to type 2 diabetes. Diabetes diagnoses are on the rise across the globe. More information about diabetes is available at www.niddk.nih.gov.

“The only way to prove that you’re a good SPORTS sport is to lose.” – Ernie Banks Exciting Week in Basketball for the Hurricanes By: Parker Watson

The Pamlico county men’s Basketball team played in two consecutive games last week against South Creek High school, and New Hanover High school. The Hurricanes defeated South Creek in a land- slide, falling just short of the 80-point mark with a final score of 79-22. However New Hanover slightly edged out Pamlico for the win, and the hurricanes were defeated by only one point with a score of 57-56. Both games were played on Pamlico’s home court. On Friday, the Canes hosted South Creek for their first match of the week. As the season has progressed, Pamlico’s men’s team has trained through practices, and sharpened their skills through many games. This experience showed itself in their performance against South Creek. From the beginning of the game, the hurricanes took control of the game, and never let South Creek get the initiative. At the end of the night, Pamlico had an over 60-point lead. Pamlico's Lamonti Lewis Jams in Pamlico's 79-22 The New Bern store will be closed until the 24th The next day, on Saturday night, the hurricanes win over South Creek.

The hurricanes worked themselves to a four-point lead by halftime, and had increased their lead to 8 by the end of the third quarter. Just when it looked like the hurricanes could seal the deal and defeat New Hanover, they began to lose momentum. With only an eight-point lead, the hurricanes did not have much room to spare and New Hanover began to gradually make up the distance. New Hanover scored 21 points in the RED HOT BBUYSUYS final quarter to Pamlico’s 12, edging out Pamlico by 1 point. The hurricanes will return stringer than ever on the 23rd with a game against Tarboro.
