Nicole Crist faced a dire situation last year when she found extinguished she was pregnant: She and her manage with frugality, Roger, didn’face to face have the money for prenatal care, and it would be different months before their Medicaid application was processed.

Compounding the point to be solved was the circumstance that Crist, 24, is diabetic. She knew that would present uncommon concerns that needed to be addressed during the pregnancy. So she reached for the phone and found help in an unpromising place: something called Baby Your Baby that she saw on a TV commercial. The Utah County Health Department program helps more than 1,000 expectant mothers a year who are in lower income brackets to weather the gap between finding out they’re gravid and receiving founded without interruption aid.

“It has helped me out immensely,” Crist said. “If I didn’t bring forth them, I wouldn’t have been able to go to the doctors.”

Baby Your Baby began statewide in 1987 as a answer to Utah’s high babe mortality rate, which was 8.7 per 1,000 births. Originally intended as a two-year outreach and media campaign, it is still growing after 21 years and has served more than 100,000 needy moms-to-be. In 2005, Utah’s infant mortality rate was the lowest in the country at 4.5 deaths per 100,000 births. Utah County celebrated its 25,000th client Wednesday.

The program issues temporary cards to cover some array of services, including doctor visits, vitamins, lab work and ultrasounds. Last week, Crist delivered her first child, a baby male child named Aiden. She credits the program with her safe, healthy pregnancy.

“They were a lifesaver,” she said.

“I feel so blessed to even have Baby Your Baby,” said Andrea Ashton, who is expecting a baby in November and is the 25,000th client.

“We were scared because we didn’t know how we were going to afford it.”

Ashton and her husband, Doug, were recognized at the Utah County Health and Justice Building with a dotation basket including a car seat, books and other parenting tools. The couple now receives Medicaid assistance, but it took hind part before three months after they applied to get it. Ashton said the stroke of program helped her really start her pregnancy education.

“We kind of knew what we were supposed to do, we lawful didn’t know how or when,” she said. “I didn’t know anything about morning sickness or what normal weight gain was.”

As recently as 2000, the United Health Foundation ranked Utah 49th in the country for adequacy of prenatal care, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Following the ranking, the state Health Department underwent a media campaign in 2001 highlighting the program in TV commercials across the narrate.

By 2005, the state’sitting numbers had improved enough to earn it No. 22 attached the same list.

Utah County has followed that trend in recent years, with the state Health Department reporting that the percentage of looking for mothers receiving “adequate” care — calculated with respect to by what means often they see doctors and how early in pregnancy the process begins — rising to 83.75 in 2006. But there continues to be a disparity between income levels, with and nothing else 69 percent of pregnant women within the federal penury range receiving care, said county Health Department spokesman Lance Madigan.

Utah County’s program is without interruption par to have a record-breaking year in 2008. More than 1,300 women used the program in 2006, and about as many used it in 2007; so far, 735 women desire been served by Baby Your Baby in 2008, with half the year left to go.

Dr. Joseph Miner, executive director of the Utah County Health Department, said Baby Your Baby is becoming an increasingly weighty part of salutary pregnancies for many women in the county. He points to clients’ little child mortality rates and average birth weights — both of which beat the general population — of the same kind with indicators that the program is working.

“It’session especially important to get started early in the pregnancy with prenatal care,” he said. “We have more very good data showing that it was well worth it.”

It was the Bluenose II’s maiden plough the deep from her home port in Lunenburg to Halifax. Hartry was invited to crew the trip because his family knew Col. Sydney Oland whose brewing company financed the shape of the successor to Bluenose I.

SANK IN 1946

The two ships were built in Lunenburg’s Smith and Rhuland boatyard using the same plans and even more of the same men. Sold to the West Indian Trading Co., the original fishing and racing schooner sank off the coast of Haiti in 1946 after striking a reef.

In 1971, the Oland lineage sold Bluenose II to the government of Nova Scotia for $1.

A two-way stop by what has become the floating ambassador for Nova Scotia has created a tremendous stir here, with hundreds of fans coming without to get a look at the fabled ship.

Plying the St. Lawrence Seaway en route to Toronto, the Bluenose overnighted at the municipal dock finally week. Homeward bound, it returned Tuesday death, with retirement from Prescott place on this account that later today.

Snapping photos and purchasing refreshments from temporary snack stands, sightseers milling about the dock yesterday weren’t even deterred at the time that a vacuum truck arrived to perform the odiferous exercise of pumping out the poop deck.

WARM WELCOME

While it stopped short of drumming up a marching band, Prescott council has pulled out most of the stops, welcoming the Bluenose party with a civic dinner, historical society members in period costume, a plaque and a dotation basket. June 16-26 were declared Bluenose Days in Prescott.

Hartry’s first-hand experience with the ship all those years ago left him unimpressed. Other than his surmount of the main sail, the trip between the two ports was uneventful.

A Prescott resident instead of the past decade after first relocating to Ottawa to work for Nortel and the federal government, he admits to becoming more proud of the adventure as time sails along.

The significance has grown on Hartry to the point he gave up two roomfuls of antique furniture in exchange for an oversized handcrafted model of the creative Bluenose.

Since being acquired as a tourism and promotional vehicle, the Bluenose II has changed dramatically, Hartry says.

“It started out as a working fishing boat. It’s been gussied up. When I sailed on her, there were no fancy brass and mahogany trimmings. In fact, except for the hull configuration, it’s had in a great degree a make-over.”

Like her predecessor, Hartry says the second boat was built for speed because the value for a dead weight of fish depended on how quickly the crew could get it to place of traffic.

It’s equipped with what’sitting believed to be the largest moving main begin a voyage in the world — aggregate 4,150 square feet of it.
