Nurses cared for my mum, now I

RANDHIR Sidhu said watching his mother suffer was the toughest time of his life.

In September last year his mother Gurbax Kaur was diagnosed with gall bladder cancer and Randhir and the rest of his family cared for her.

Her condition worsened in February and nurses from Marie Curie came round to help the family care for her and make her as comfortable as possible. She died in March at the age of 59, leaving four sons and a daughter.

"It was really tough just being so helpless," said Randhir, of Bilborough .

"There was nothing we could really do for her. We knew her time was coming up and it was just a case of waiting. Seeing her suffer was very hard. It was the toughest period of my life."

Nurses from Marie Curie came in to help the family about two or three weeks before bcbgirls shoes wedge she died.

Randhir added: "The whole family were around during the day and we were caring for her at night. Although it was a difficult it was also quite uplifting.

"In February the pain started to get worse, she was in constant pain. She was basically taking morphine through an intravenous drip. The nurses would come in every evening and a nurse would stay with her all night, making sure she was getting her drinks and wasn't in too much pain.

"Even afterwards they gave us a bit of support. It was quite nice to have the support."

Marie Curie in Nottingham has now been given a grant of Pounds 242,500 by the Big Sexy Costumes Lottery Fund to fund training for people to become Marie Curie helpers and support people like Randhir. The helpers will offer support and information to terminally ill people and their families. The grant will fund the pilot for two years.

Ruth Bravery, director of volunteering at Marie Curie Cancer Care, said: "Marie Curie helpers are there to listen to people with cancer and other terminal ill-nesses, and talk through any worries they or their families may have, as well as providing information about care and support services available locally.

"This is a very rewarding way to help people in your local area achieve their wish of remaining at home at the end of their lives."

Randhir has decided to give something back to the charity that supported him and his family. Later this month, he will fly to Peru to do an eight-day trek across the ruins of Machu Picchu. He has exceeded his fundraising target and is training for the challenge.

Congressman Hinchey Announces

2010-09-24 16:26:00

TIOGA COUNTY, N.Y. - On Wednesday, Congressman Maurice Hinchey (D- NY) arrived at the Tioga County Fair taking place in Owego, N.Y. to announce that he has secured approval from a House panel for $250,000 in federal funds to strengthen the Tioga Rural Area Economic Partnership (REAP) program - an initiative designed to spur economic growth in the county.

human hair extensions Hinchey was joined at the event by members of the REAP board and local officials to make the announcement on Wednesday, and to explain the importance of this program to Tioga County.

"Over the course of the last decade, the Tioga REAP has grown to be a critical part of Tioga County's economic and community development efforts," Hinchey SAID.

Hinchey also noted that because of the job loss Tioga County, N.Y. has suffered, many in the rural areas have to travel outside of the county for work. He added that the leadership of the REAP Program will help build growth within the county.

The new federal funds, which were approved last week by the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Agriculture, will be used to hire a new executive director to oversee and improve economic development initiatives undertaken by the REAP.

According to C. Thomas Bailey, president of the REAP board of directors, the board had to let their executive director go last year when funds dried up within the agency. Bailey now plans to hire a new director with the anticipated funds, and will also be looking at a way to restructure and provide assistance to rural organizations that are searching for grant money.

"We hope to get a circuit writer - someone who can go out into the towns to write the grants for them," Bailey said. "I retired five years ago and decided to stay here because I love the area," Bailey added, "so it's worth the investment."

Hinchey agreed, and expounded on these efforts in a statement released following the announcement. He explained that as a member of the Agriculture Subcommittee, he helped establish the Tioga REAP Zone in 1999, and that over the course of the last decade, the Tioga REAP has grown to be a critical part of Tioga County's economic and community development efforts.

"These new federal funds that I requested will help strengthen the program by allowing for a new executive director to be hired so that economic development efforts can be more expansive and better coordinated. I will continue working to ensure that these funds are approved by the full House so that we can help create businesses, put people to work, and grow the overall local economy in Tioga County."

Since its creation, Hinchey added in his statement, more than $20 million in federal, state and local funding has been secured by the Tioga REAP for projects including workshops to help small business owners improve operations; upgrades and improvements to sewer and water infrastructure in the Town of Barton; renovations to the town square and park improvements in the Village of Newark Valley; and improvements to infrastructure needed to attract development in Lounsberry.

Hinchey developed the REAP Zone initiative as part of an effort to help spur economic development in struggling rural areas. REAP Zones are first cousins to the internationally recognized Empowerment Zones & Enterprise Communities and are pilot projects of the USDA. In January 1999, Hinchey persuaded the USDA to establish this new program in his congressional district on a 10-year trial basis, which was approved by the Clinton ad

CONGRATULATIONS

2010-09-24 16:25:58

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton joined the chorus of congratulations last night as the Assembly voted yes to a Justice Minister.

She threw her weight behind the move along with the British and Irish Prime Ministers as well as PSNI chief Matt Baggott.

Mrs Clinton said: "I commend the Northern Ireland Assembly today for its affirmation of the Hillsborough Agreement and its endorsement of the devolution of policing and justice, an important step in ensuring a peaceful and prosperous future for all of the people of Northern Ireland for generations to come."

Out of the 105 votes cast in the Assembly, just 17 voted against it. Policing and justice will now be devolved on 12 April after a 38- year gap.

In a joint statement Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Taoiseach Brian Cowen said: "This is a significant step forward for the people of Northern Ireland, with overwhelming support from all sections of the community.

"It sends a clear message of confidence in the future, and commitment to build on the gains of the peace process that have been achieved over the last 12 years.

David Cameron was accused of "naked opportunism" by backing Ulster Unionists - putting the peace process in danger, it was claimed.

H e ev e n rejected a direct p l e a f r o m former President George W Bush to use his influence to get the Unionist to back the agreement.

Former Northern Ireland minister David Cairns said: "The politics of Northern Ireland are too important to try to engineer a partisan political advantage. Whenever this has been tried in the past it has ended in tears."

During the Assembly debate, First Minister Peter Robinson attacked the UUP saying: "I believe it is time for us all to move forward. There must be no going back to the bad old days.

"Throughout history there are times of challenge and defining moments. This is such a time. This is such a moment.

But Sir Reg Empey hit back saying he would not sign up for a deal until outstanding matters - such as the row over post-primary education - are sorted out.

The East Belfast MLA added: "We are a party for the devolution of justice, but it is the conditions to which we are coming.

"We have not had a single solitary discussion at leadership level of what we are going to do with policing and justice. It is a bit Replica Prada like doing your driving test without doing your driving lessons."

Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness added: "The UUP are on record as stating that they will not support local administration of policing and justice until there is agreement to test 10 and 11- year-old children to determine which school they will attend.

"I have to say that these are the most dysfunctional political positions I have ever come across." The widow of murdered police officer Stephen Carroll appealed for politicians to "just get on with it." Speaking on the first anniversary of her husband's death Kate Carroll said: "This morning has been very, very hard for me, and I would just ask everyone in Stormont to please get on with their job."

And the man tipped to get the Justice job said it was a "momentous day for Northern Ireland". Alliance leader David Ford added: "This is the start of
