  • Dear Member of Congress, As Your Constituent, I'm Writing to Welcome
    Dear Member of Congress, As your constituent, I'm writing to welcome you to the 114th Congress and send best wishes for the year ahead. As you address our nation’s opportunities and challenges in the new session, I urge you to consider the role that breastfeeding plays in giving mothers and their children important and long-lasting health benefits. These impacts are so substantial that “breastfeeding saves dollars and makes sense,” not just for FAMILIES, but also for EMPLOYERS and the ECONOMY. The great majority of pregnant women and new mothers want to breastfeed, but they face significant barriers in community, health care, and employment settings. While many national initiatives are already underway, you have a critical role to play as well. Thank you for your careful consideration of the following policy priorities you can move forward in the 114th Congress to help support breastfeeding: COMMUNITIES • Increase support for breastfeeding as part of existing community-based programs: e.g., the Women, Infants & Children (WIC) program, home visiting, Healthy Start, community health centers; • Authorize the FDA to regulate confusing and misleading infant formula marketing and labeling practices; • Support establishment of public spaces that are breastfeeding-friendly; HEALTH CARE • Maintain support for the CDC’s maternity care practice improvement initiatives; • Ensure equitable access to and effective implementation of insurance coverage for breastfeeding support and equipment, especially including alignment of Medicaid coverage to existing provisions for private plans and TRICARE; EMPLOYMENT • Extend the existing federal “Nursing Breaks” law to salaried workers and strengthen enforcement; • Establish paid family leave as a self-funded national insurance program that supports workers and businesses; and • Ensure that breastfeeding mothers can’t be fired or discriminated against in the workplace.

Faulkner 43 Oaks Drive, Colchester, Essex CO3 3PS Phone 01206 767023 E-mail [email protected] FURTHER PROGRESS ON THE NORTH WALSHAM & DILHAM Volunteers working on clearing mud from Bacton Wood lock chamber, whilst Laurie Ashton conducts the operation from the top cill. (Pictures by Alan Bertram ) The work party on Sunday 10 June saw further progress at Bacton Wood Lock with the chamber being pumped out revealing mounds of black mire and rubbish. A temporary dam had been erected below the site of the bottom gates creating a small pool and before removing the last of the water from the chamber small fish and water snails were collected and transferred to this pool. A couple of tons of mud were then laboriously pushed out of the lock revealing the “v” shaped bottom gate stops. This enabled careful measurements to be taken – data that will be needed when the manufacture of the bottom lock gates ultimately gets under way. As shown in these pictures the replacement brickwork of the lock has now been completed and the scaffolding was removed by the volunteers on 27 May in preparation for the drain down. It represents a complete transformation from only a couple of years ago and reflects great credit on Mr & Mrs Ashton. 2 Inside Bacton Wood Lock before the chamber was finally drained down. Already there is a steep drop down from the top sill as shown on the left, whilst on the right the volunteers clear small fish from the chamber.

Miscellaneous Extracts 106 2 19.3.76 INTRO: THE STOVOLD FAMILY IN SURREY I have searched many old church registers, both of Elstead and Farnham, of baptisms and marriages to trace the family history in Surrey. The name Stovold appears more than any other. I have only dealt with one branch which appears to be a direct male line. The last six generations contain the name Frederick and the dates of birth are fairly authentic. Earlier registers may refer to baptisms or dates of birth, it is not always clear. One Christian name, the same as the father’s, made things more difficult. The family could be of Scandinavian origin. It is thought they may have come over at the time of the Vikings in the Ninth Century and, in fact, before the First War my Great Uncle Percy traced the name back to the time of William the Conqueror.

EDITED BY WILLIAM BROWN, B.A., Member of the Council of the Yorkshire Archaological and Topographical Association. PRINTED FOR THE SOCIETY. 1892. : l&L^O ^3 WORKSOP ROBERT WHITE, PRINTER. INTRODUCTION. AMONGST the documents at the Public Record Office, to which the local historian directs his earliest attention, those known under the title of Inquisitiones post mortem occupy the foremost place. To the topographer and the genealogist they are equally valuable. There is hardly a family of any importance between the thirteenth and seventeenth centuries whose genealogy may not be confirmed and enlarged by a reference to these most interesting documents. Parochial and local history are also indebted to them for a mass of information unequalled elsewhere. These inquisitions are termed Chancery Inquisitions, because the writ directing them generally issued out of the Court of Chancery. They extend in an almost unbroken series over nearly four and a half centuries, commencing early in the reign of Henry III., and only terminating with the Civil Wars in the seventeenth century, when the feudal system finally broke down, to be abolished by law at the Restoration.
