Speaker Details Trip to United Nations Section Two | The Canadian Statesman. Bowmanvillc, Wednesday, November 20 1991 For Your Information F orYour hy Dr. Janice Aluin and Dr. Everett Turner Obedience Training II A previous article dealt with obedience training a puppy under six months of age. Most owners begin formal training when a pup has reached approximately six months or is big and strong enough that walking the dog takes on new connotations connotations - one sees one's arm getting longer, and the thought ol icy pavementstrikes terror to the heart! Formal training involves using the right kind of equipment. Dogs are trained using a collar (either chain or cloth) that applies applies pressure to the dog's neck to correct behaviour and then releases when the dog is following the cues given by the owner. owner. The leash most commonly used in training is a six-foot LEATHER leash. You do not have to worry about the pup chewing it, because your training will help to prevent these problems.' Basic obedience training will allow you to control your dog with the common commands of "Sit", "Slay", "Down", " Come , Heel and "Stand". Tire time spent training your pup is repaid tenfold when you arc able to take your canine pal anywhere with you, without concern for his/her behaviour...regardless behaviour...regardless of tire circumstances. As veterinarians, we arc asked daily about obedience training training and we recommend it for every dog. Everyone has good intentions, intentions, but if you make a commitment to train your dog and spend the money on a class, you are much more likely to make the effort - even on the days when it rains. Everyone want to see their dog graduate! Some dogs arc not able to be trained using conventional methods and equipment. For these animals, new training systems systems have been developed. Instead of using a collar, these dogs are fitted with a halter - very similar to a halter used on a horse. If an owner can control the dog's head, tire rest of the body follows in line! These halter systems arc designed to correct correct behaviour with very little physical effort by the owner. There is no need to yank and pull on a leash to get your dog's attention. If a halter can be used to train and restrain a thousand thousand pound horse, restraining an eighty pound dog is that much simpler. Animals are usually apprehensive when they come to a veterinary veterinary clinic. If your dog is trained and trusts and respects your authority, these visits can be much less traumatic for everyone. everyone. Spend the time now to train your dog and enjoy your walks for many years to come. To quote obedience trainer Brenda Robinson, "A trained dog...is a happy dog". Dr. Aluin and Dr. Turner are veterinarians with the Durham Veterinary Clinic. Please address all questions to them in care of The Canadian Statesman P.O. Box 190,62 King St. W„ Bowmanvillc, Ont. L1C 3K9 Durham CHS In November by Coby Veenstra On Monday, November 4, the friends and supporters of Durham Christian High came together to discuss a number of crucial issues. After devotions and an enjoyable performance by both band and theatre arts groups, the agenda turned to. the issues at hand. One issue was the tough times of today's economy, which made tuition payments a serious burden for some hard hit families. The school budget has been trimmed as far as can be without without hurting the quality of education, education, in an attempt to case the strain somewhat. A second issue was a much more serious one. The Ministry of Education has repeatedly stated that Christian high schools may no longer give credit for its Bible courses. Because Because the Roman Catholic Schools continued to be allowed allowed to do so, the high schools of the Ontario Alliance of Christian Schools (OACÀ) continued to do so as well. Seven "target" schools have now been told they can no longer sign transcripts for not discontinuing Bible credits. This could cost a number of students their diploma. The OACS and its lawyers plan to take this conflict into court, as infringement on civil rights. The issue could be resolved if the Christian Schools would teach Christianity as just one religion instead of what Christians Christians believe to be tmth. The OACS feels that this compromised compromised Christian schools' right to be Christian. The same conflict conflict was felt in a number of courses where the ministry wants the schools to stop teaching as truth, Biblical perspective. perspective. In effect, the ministry denies the Christian schools the very basis for existence. And that is a conflict that the courts will have to decide under under the Charter of Rights.

November 4-8 was Medical Radiation Technologist Week. The Diagnostic Imaging Department, Memorial Hospital, Hospital, Bowmanville celebrated the week by holding an Open House on Thursday 7, November November for all staff and patients. This week is recognized across Canada and its purpose is to share information and raise awareness of the work performed performed by this profession. Diagnostic Imaging Departments Departments at one time only used x- rays to obtain the pictures and were known simply as "X-ray Departments". As technologies have developed, so have the tools or methods of obtaining diagnostic images. For example, example, ultrasound obtains images through the use of sound waves. At Memorial Hospital a range of general x-ray procedures procedures and ultrasound examinations examinations arc performed and now their latest service, mammography mammography is available. The mammography service is new and deserves special attention. attention. They arc extremely pleased to have a dedicated mammography unit. This means the unit is designed and used only for mammography. The unit is first class in terms of its technical abilities and, as its complement, they have a processing unit which is solely used to develop mammography examinations. The utilization of a dedicated processing unit for mammography allows them to set up the processing part of the examination in such a way that they can obtain the greatest greatest detail in the image and yet, at the same lime, use the least amount of radiation. The technologist who perforins perforins the examination lias had special training in mammogra- • phy and has had considerable experience in this field. The Diagnostic Imaging Department at Memorial Hospital Hospital has, as its number one priority, priority, patient care and service. Considerable attention has been given to ensuring that the patient that comes to the department department feels comfortable, feels well served and feels taken taken care of as an individual. Hand in hand with service is the quality of the examination examination (the detail of the image or picture). This part of the process process the patient rarely secs or has an opportunity to understand. understand. They arc fortunate at Memorial Hospital in that they have very modem equipment which quite simply translates into excellent images, minimal, radiation and case of examination examination from the patient's perspective. perspective. All of the x-ray equipment is tested twice a year for radiation radiation safety and 100% of the technical staff arc registered with the Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists Technologists which therefore ensures a high standard of training. Currently, the department provides a 24-hour-a-day ser vice for in-patients and the emergency department. For those patients referred directly from the doctor's offices, the department's hours arc Monday Monday to Friday 8:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. with a few evening appointments. appointments. It is best to make an appointment to reduce long waiting times. However, certain certain procedures, such as mammography, mammography, ultrasound and special special tests require an appointment due to the in volvement of the procedures. A trial evening clinic in mammography, mammography, ultrasound and possibly possibly general x-ray procedures will soon be initiated. A patient survey will alsq be sent out in order to deter-. mine where the services to patients patients can be improved. How-. ever, at any time if anyone ' would like to offer any suggestions, suggestions, the department would welcome your call. Cancer Soc.
