The Association of Premier Nanny Agencies (APNA) is proud to honor Houston's Morningside Nannies with APNA's 2008 Agency of the Year award.  Twenty five years ago, Pat Cascio founded the first agency in Houston to specialize in nanny placement, and she is still on the job.  Like many in the industry, Pat started her business because, "I needed in-home care for my children, and I wasn't comfortable with the screening provided by what were then known as 'domestic agencies'."
     Now Pat and other staffing agencies have access to an arsenal of professional background checkers and computerized court files to assist them in screening household staff.  However, she says she still scrutinizes all applicants with the time-tested question, "Would I hire this nanny to care for my own children?" Nanny Agencies in Wiltshire
     Seasoned household staffing agencies know how important it is to meet each job candidate in person.  "Nanny services that operate only online are becoming more popular," says Ginger Swift, the APNA board member who oversaw the selection of the 2008 Agency of the Year.  "But the people who run most online-only job services never meet the applicants, and they do not conduct the type of background check an agency like Morningside Nannies would require before sending someone to your home."
     Says Pat of her award, "I had considered vying for APNA's Agency of the Year award in the past, but I wasn't sure my agency would be special enough to gain this national honor.  But this year, I celebrated 25 years in the industry, and I retired from my eight-year post as the International Nanny Association President.  When I reflected on the contribution I have made to our industry, I felt more confident."
    "Because household staffing laws vary from state to state, agency owners such as Pat help us set industry standards, so we can provide a nationwide network of reliable agencies," says APNA President Annie Davis.  "To be an APNA member, agencies must put their contracts, applications and business practices up for scrutiny by their peers.  Parents who want to make sure they are dealing with a quality nanny service should look for the APNA seal.  I am extremely proud of all our members, but Pat deserves to be recognized for the years she has dedicated to this industry.  She has more than earned the respect of her colleagues and associates.  Pat, as all members, has always put the welfare of children first."

2,500 EXTRA DENTAL PLACES FOR ULVERSTON

Last updated at 14:34, Monday, 05 October 2009

AN extra 2,500 places have been created for patients at an NHS dentist surgery

Fountain Street Dental Surgery in Ulverston will officially open its new premises on Wednesday.

 

The surgery has relocated just down the road from 11 Fountain Street to new larger premises at 7 Fountain Street.

The surgery was commissioned to provide the new dental places by NHS Cumbria in April.

The places will be added to the 8,500 patients that the surgery already treats.

The practice has employed two new dentists, three new dental nursing staff and an additional receptionist as part of its expansion.

 

Christian Turner is a dentist and a partner at Fountain Street Dental Surgery.

He said: "It is great news that our new premises are now open and we can now offer more NHS dental treatment to people in Ulverston.

"Although we have not moved very far, a lot of hard work has gone into our new premises and I would like to thank all our staff and patients for their support."

The surgery has been offering dental treatment to people in the Ulverston area for 10 years and will start to take on new patients during the next 12 months.

The new places are in addition to the 27,500 new places announced for Cumbria in August this year.

Millom and Barrow were each allocated 5,000 of those as part of a £1.5m investment from NHS Cumbria.

It is part of ongoing efforts to tackle a long-term shortage of NHS dentists.

At the height of the crisis in 2005/06 – when many dentists were leaving the NHS in protest at new government contracts – tens of thousands of people in Cumbria were on the waiting list.

Health bosses have since beenworking to fill these gaps, with the aim of ensuring everyone who wants an NHS dentist will be able to access one. The Mayor of Ulverston, Councillor Norman Bishop-Rowe, will unveil the new-look surgery.

Patients are reminded that, although the practice has now moved, the phone number remains the same: 01229 585733.

Baby or career: young women cannot have it both ways

Minette Marrin

The idea that we can plan our lives is fairly new and very western. For thousands of years people assumed that their destinies were not in their own hands, but in the unpredictable grasp of gods or demons or chance or family history or destiny. Man proposes but God (or something ineffable) disposes – that was how everybody thought.
Now, however, we in the rich world imagine we can choose our fates; we can eliminate diseases, double our harvests, split the atom, uncover the mysteries of the moon and even hold back time.
This feeling of being in control began slowly, not much more than 300 years ago in the West with the scientific revolution, but in the 20th century it suddenly burst forth as a new religious belief. We got antibiotics, we got vaccines, we got mass transport, mass communication and the mass information revolution and we got contraception. That, particularly, seemed to make women the mistresses of their own destinies. Those over 50 will remember that contraception used to be called family planning; we women thought we could plan our lives and our brilliant careers. We were mistaken.
Last week the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists put out a statement about the best time to have babies. Aware of the trend for women to have their first baby when older (and of its painful consequences), their advice is that women who put off motherhood into their middle thirties and beyond are taking unwise risks and the best age for childbearing is between 20 and 35. It is much easier to get pregnant during this time, on average, and much harder later, even with IVF; older mothers are much more likely to miscarry or to have babies with problems.
Well, yes. We all knew that. Every courageous granny and good GP has been saying that for the past 40 years. Just because many of us found, luckily, that we could easily have babies in our thirties, it does not mean it's a good risk for everyone or that the age of motherhood can move up bit by bit as medical technology advances. Of course it would in theory be good for women to have babies early. Lots of commentators came forth last week, in view of all this, to urge young women to "have that baby now".
This is completely, cruelly unrealistic. The truth is that however much one wants children, for an ambitious woman there is never a good time to have a baby. And even if there were, it certainly is not something that can easily be planned. All that one can plan is when not to have a baby and that, of course, is a great freedom. However, there are so many uncontrollable variables.
Take the case of Ms Hopeful Youngthing. At 25 or 26 she has finished a second degree, essential if she is to become a high-flying businesswoman, lawyer, doctor or whatever. She is as poor as any student and couldn't afford a baby, childcare etc. More important, she hasn't got a babyfather: Mr Right-Enough hasn't come along yet. Besides, she has to put her toes on the first rung of the career ladder and climb; she needs to do a professional apprenticeship, make contacts and get experience. Starting out like this, working terrible hours as ambitious young people do, is incompatible with having babies. When you have everything to prove, serious ambition is not a part-time thing.
If Ms Youngthing is lucky she may get sent abroad for a while to gain valuable experience, but when she comes home she will need time to re-establish herself and start looking again for Mr Right-Enough – sadly, gorgeous Herr Ganz Genug was not prepared to leave Munich and follow her to her new job in London. Then her love life may become rather fitful, given the long hours in her competitive world. By the time she's 30 or 31 or 32, she feels broody but still uncertain about her current lover, Mr Almost Right-Enough, her professional equal, and he goes off with someone younger, less stressed and easily impressed.
Alternatively she moves in with him and what with work and their enormous mortgage and debts, they don't feel in a position to take on the cost of having babies. Then suddenly she's successful, exhausted and 37 and he has gone off with someone younger and less career-driven, having worked out that you cannot have two demanding careers in one family. Where does planning fit into any of that?
There was never a good or obvious moment for Ms Youngthing to have a baby and it's cruel and unrealistic to tell her, as she sits in the IVF clinic, that she should have done so at twentysomething. Besides, what if she had, having providentially met Mr Right-Enough when very young?
Miraculously he was somehow able to provide for her – although they couldn't afford childcare, since her earning power was so low – and she produced three babies by the age of 30, as medically recommended. Then at thirtysomething, still the clever, ambitious woman of before but now with no work experience, no contacts and not much confidence – a side effect of staying at home – she is not very marketable and certainly not in the world she once aspired to. Not earning a great deal, she still can't afford much childcare so she hopes for flexi-time – something like hen's teeth for a working woman who isn't already established.
Ms Youngthing might rise above all these obstacles but then again, in a competitive world, she might not. It is difficult for a mother to go back to a competitive work environment without having established herself before having babies.
She is now of no more use than a 22-year-old but with less commitment and less time. Meanwhile, her younger sister of 24 is miserable that her responsible 26-year-old husband is not prepared to start a family for several years, until he can get on top of their student debts, get established in his stressful career and have just a little child-free fun while still young. So she can't have an early baby either. Again, she might rise above such handicaps or she might not.
These uncertainties apply most harshly to the most ambitious and career-minded women. But to some degree they apply to most women, except to those whose jobs can really be taken up and put down very easily.
Life is full of countless imponderables which can't be wished away and the idea that we or our doctors or our government are in charge of planning our destinies is largely an illusion. On the other hand, if there is no right time to have a baby, perhaps there's no particularly wrong time either, assuming there is at least a father available. Happy Father's Day.

Children creatively unlock secrets of a UFO

Children at Sparhawk school in Norwich investigate the UFO

When children from an infant and nursery school discovered a UFO in their playground they conducted a month-long investigation to find out how and why it was there.

Their research was part of a cross-curricular project called Who Talks? Who Listens?, designed to develop children's key skills through questioning, speaking, listening and problem-solving and help them learn about the importance of looking after the environment.
It was funded by Creative Partnerships, a creative learning programme delivered by the annual Norfolk and Norwich arts festival.
Children aged three to seven from Sparhawk Infant and Nursery School in Sprowston, Norwich, uncovered clues and messages to solve the mystery of a strange white flashing globe.
The child-led investigation was captured in a documentary-style film with the help of local film-makers Top Box Media and actors from international theatre company Garlic Theatre.
With the help of 'Dr Jim', children discovered objects from inside the globe's secret compartment, including a crystal to represent light and the importance of the atmosphere, a piece of seaweed to represent the effect pollution has on beaches, a plastic whale, a whale sounds tape, a piece of metal with holes and a mysterious bean-shaped object.
After each discovery they were interviewed by 'Kate the reporter' to share their ideas and emotions.
The children also took part in role-play, speaking and listening and problem-solving activities.
Sparhawk head Carina Ingham said, 'The children were really excited when the UFO first arrived. The project gave them the opportunity to question and learn through talking, developing their confidence and key skills, which will help them as they move up the school'.
A screening of the film at the school on 12 May was attended by children, parents, governors, local councillors and other schools.
