Egijigment Campaign High-Tech Hospital by Laura J. Richards With the cover down, the large, grey round-cornered box looks like a black port-hole on a space ship from outside this galaxy. Actually, the new bio-chemistry analyzer is from Earth, and it's ensconced at Memorial Hospital-Bowmanville. "We're just about finished evaluating evaluating the analyzer," said Technical Director of Laboratory Services, Mike Smith. "We've had it since the week of June 11 and have been running tests on it since then," he added. The tests have been done to help familiarize the two technicians with Met Mart Open Bowmanville's new Met Mart officially officially opened this morning. Clarington Mayor Diane Hamre cut the ribbon to launch the new department department store located in the Bowmanville Bowmanville Mall. Although an article in.last week's Canadian Statesman indicated a later later date for the formal re-opening of the Bowmanville Mall, that date does not affect the Met Mart store, which is now fully operational and welcoming Clarington and area customers. customers. the analyzer and to find comparable numbers for results. "The comparisons are needed so the doctors who order the tests will not need to adapt to new numbers," Smith noted. The Hitachi 911 will be replacing the older 704 model from the same manufacturer. "This one (indicating the older model) takes up to eight minutes to warm up before tests can be begun," Smith explained. However, "the new one takes only two." And that can mean a lot when there is an emergency case within the hospital. In some cases, the "turn around" time for some tests, Smith says, will be cut in half. The $175,000 analyzer is one of the pieces on the hospital's wish list for the Hospital Foundation's newest newest fund raising campaign. The goal of the campaign is to raise a quarter of a million dollars for hospital equipment. At present the older 704 is able to do tests for liver function, protein, protein, and enzymes to find out about heart attacks, blood sugar levels and electrolytes. The new addition to the hospital will be able to do those tests as well WELCOME HOME, YOU ALL - It's always a joy when we see a familiar face and this week that's what happened while we were about to get a haircut. Just inside the shop we encountered Dr. Derry Hubbard, who is practising in Alabama and had comb home for a holiday, a haircut and a visit with some of his children who live in this area. He was looking great and hadn't yet acquired an Alabama accent. BLOOMIN' BONANZA - The growing seascuwrwty•have-been a few weeks late, but right now everything is about at its pe/ak of growth. Bertha Barnes of Base Line Rd. brought in a beautiful beautiful bouquet of glads that were joined by a bouquet of gorgeous miniature glads from June Marchant. Tomorrow, there's a Flower and Vegetable Show at Orono, the Annual Gladiolus and Dahlia Show is this Saturday at the Legion, to be followed by Newcastle Village Horticultural Society's Show next Tuesday Tuesday and Bowmanvile Horticulture's next Wednesday. Enjoy them, it will soon be winter. OVERLAPPING EVENTS - It looks as though the major political political parties are gradually getting their provincial election campaigns under way. The Liberals held their annual barbecue j last week and the Progressive Conservatives have just come through with an announcement that their annual barbecue and com roast will be held at the Fairgrounds in Blackstock on Wednesday, August 31st. That is also the day when Clarington citizens will be featured at the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto. That is an unfortunate overlapping of dates, but we doubt if there's a hope of doing anything about it at this late date. THOSE BIG DRUMS - There's quite an unusual parade coming coming up this Saturday at Orono. It's the 1994 version of the Ontario Ontario Derry Day Parade that is held each year in August, hosted by the Royal Black Institution (a branch of the Orange Order) to commemorate the relief of the seige of Derry, in Ireland, in 1689, during The Glorious Revolution. The parade begins at 1:45 p.m. at Orono Fairgrounds. We seem to recall those big dmms with the players beating them with sticks that were impressive. impressive. Orono is certainly going to be busy because they also have their annual barbecue at the park tonight to raise funds for their arena imnprovcment. MONSTER BINGO - Area Bingo enthusiastis will have a big night this Saturday, August 13th from 7 until 11 p.m. and they won't have to leave town to participate because it's taking place at the Recreation Complex at the west end of the municipality, with a super jackpot of $2,000, a Bonus Bonanza Game etc. and the funds raised by the event will go to support the Alliance House shelter. Doors arc open at 6 p.m. CELEBRATION - This Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m., all citizens of Durham Region arc invited to take part in an anniversary celebration picnic at the Conservation Authority at Enniskillen. It is jointly sponsored by the Tourist Association of Durham Region and Celebrate Durham '94. Organizers promise an afternoon afternoon of fun with entertainment, games, music and magic.

A judge in an Oshawa Court told the group on Friday he would give it until Wednesday, Aug. 24, to move the animals from their location on Lakeshore Road in Clarington. The animals are to be moved to Alder- ville, near Roseneath. "We argued against the case," said Clarington's Senior By-law Enforcement Enforcement Len Creamer. "The judge also gave them a condition," condition," Creamer said. "For each day afterwards the group will be fined $1,000," he explained. explained. Creamer said he was glad the judge saw fit to tag the extension with a fine as a condition. He called it "an extra incentive to get out of the location." He said Bill Vallicres, the sanctuary's representative, representative, has told the municipality the animals can be moved by that date. The organizers of the Endangered Endangered Animal Sanctuary have been at their Lakeshdtv. RnacT Iccatici since June of 1993. Since then nearby neighbors have complained about the noise, smells from burning materials and their fears of having wildlife so close to their homes. In June of this year, Vallicres and his group were told to leave their premises by Wednesday, Aug. 3. At that time, the court determined determined that the animals contravened Clarington's zoning by-laws m People in High Places The CNE balloon took a number of people up, up and then down on Thursday morning, Aug. 4. While you may not be able to see for yourself, one of the figures amongst the municipal staff and politicians in the basket is our very own editor of The Canadian Statesman, Peter Parrott. He's in the left hand side comer trying to get a shot of the other balloon. The balloons were set up in the vacant lot opposite the. Bowmanville Library.
