Yahoo15-04-2025

A beloved Darlington fish and chip shop has been recommended as one of the best 40 chippies for Good Friday.
Yarm Road Fish and Chips, located on 366 Yarm Road, was named the Takeaway of the Year by the National Federation of Fish Friers (NFFF) earlier this year.
And now, their inclusion arrives ahead of Good Friday, traditionally one of the busiest days of the year for chippies as people across the country swap meat for fish in line with Christian custom.
The NFFF highlighted the Darlington takeaway for its quality ingredients, consistent cooking, cleanliness, and customer service — all key criteria in a rigorous judging process conducted by industry experts.
Andrew Crook, NFFF President, praised the shop's achievement: 'Good Friday is a huge trading day on the fish and chip shop calendar when businesses across the country welcome hundreds of customers through their doors keen to enjoy this holiday staple.

Luther Seminary to sell St. Paul campus after 120 years

Luther Seminary to sell St. Paul campus after 120 years originally appeared on Bring Me The News. Luther Seminary's campus in St. Paul, which has operated for 120 years, will be vacated after the 2026-2027 school year, seminary leaders have announced. In a statement Tuesday, Luther Seminary President Robin Steinke said the seminary will be seeking a new space in the Twin Cities area and "shifting to a more nimble model" as 70% of its current students choose online education. 'Our mission to educate leaders for Christian communities remains as vital and necessary as ever,' Steinke stated. 'To remain sustainable over the long term, how we fulfill this mission will be transformed going forward." The seminary's Board of Directors voted unanimously to begin the transition, which will involve seeking a buyer for its 10-acre upper campus in the St. Anthony Park neighborhood. The seminary's lower campus is already under contract to be sold to Edina-based developer Lifestyle Communities. Board Chair Carlos Peña said the seminary is taking "bold, faithful steps to meet the needs of the global church and our students while continuing our dedication to theological depth and academic rigor." "We will continue to deliver faithful and high-quality online education experiences alongside strategic in-person learning, all in service to Christian communities around the world," he continued. Founded in 1869, Luther Seminary is the largest seminary in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA).

JobsNOW: 24-hour daycare looking for dedicated workers

CAMPBELL, Ohio (WKBN) – Childcare is important. The state has rules on how many workers must be watching with various numbers of children present, and a local provider is hiring. Children grow fast. La La's Daycare Learning Center in Campbell is growing just as fast as the little learners. It was started to provide a different option. 'We are a 24-hour childcare center, and that's something that sets us apart from a lot of childcare centers in the area,' said Latisha Weaver, owner of La La's Daycare. La La's Daycare had its grand opening on Easter. It needs more childcare workers with a quickly growing roster.'It seems like we have majority of preschool-age kids. So, anyone interested in working with the younger kids, we definitely could use help with the younger kids,' Weaver said. Employees must pass a background check. They also get training in multiple areas of safety, health, and recognizing abuse related to children. La La's wants workers who are excited about taking care of children, and also teaching them.'That's a big thing that La La's Daycare Learning Center is about, is actually teaching the kids to their ability — what their ability is,' Weaver said. Weaver prefers a worker with experience. She can provide a shift to meet your need, too, whether it's days, evenings, or overnights. The children have big personalities. Weaver feels they're fun to be around and wants a worker who can match that personality with compassion. 'You definitely have to have patience with kids. You definitely have to get to know their strengths and weaknesses, because all kids are different,' she said. And they all get treated the same at La La's. Weaver is ready to talk with people who are interested in working with her and the children. She is also hiring home health aides for the other side of her business, which is La La Love Healthcare. To apply, call and make an appointment at 330-937-2248. The daycare is located at 178 12th Street, Campbell. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
