t The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvillc, October 22, 1997 Section Two Pace 9 Campaign for Hospital's New Ultra-Sound Unit Underway by Lorraine Manfredo Staff Writer The most common question Joanne Sheehan hears in her line of work is: 'So, is it a boy or a girl?' Sheehan is an ultra- sonographer at Memorial Hospital in Bowmanvillc, She gets that question not only from pregnant women, but 60-ycar-old grandfathers. In the men's case, its an attempt at humor. And this good-natured medical worker usually laughs right along. Of course, it's been 20 years since ultrasound was restricted to the obstetrics ward, Advances in technology technology have ushered in smaller, smaller, less costly machines, making them more accessible accessible to all hospital departments. departments. Ultrasound is now used to check other parts Ganaraska Forest Membership Keeps Growing in of the body from abdomen, to pelvis to genital genital organs. In fact, of the 25 to 30 ultrasound procedures taking taking place each day at Memorial Hospital, only about half are pregnancy- related. The cost of the color flow doppler unit is in the $120,000 to $220,000 range Currently, Memorial is in the midst of a fund-raising fund-raising campaign to buy new equipment, including a second ultrasound unit. The cost of the color flow doppler unit is in the $120,000 to $220,000 range. Sheehan was at the Rotary Club of Bowmanvillc on Thursday, Oct. 16, to explain how the second ultrasound unit would benefit local patients. If you have more ultrasound, ultrasound, it will cut back on all the invasive procedures now used, as well as cut down on x-rays. The population- of Bowmanvillc is growing and a lot of citizens are aging. Ultrasound is an excellent excellent tool to locate blood clots or artery blockages that may occur as we grow older. Sheehan is also excited about future applications. Right now, ultrasound isn't done a lot on bowel cases, but that may change. And there have been real strides made towards seeing hernias hernias and appendicitis through ultrasonography. STEPHEN o LAURA FEARING * SMITH In the latter part of 1993 the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority instituted a membership plan that provides provides unlimited access during the year to over 11,000 acres of the forest. As a member, one is free to hike, horseback ride, snowmobile, mountain mountain and dirt bike, hunt and even to pick mushrooms, a most popular fall event. The possibilities are unlimited. The General Purpose membership allows all of the above with the exception exception of Cross Country Skiing. A family general membership membership cost $25.00 with a single membership set at $15.00. A family membership for Cross Country Skiing is set at $50.00 while an individual day pass costs $6.00. The Ganaraska has a total of 35 kilometres of groomed ski trails winding winding throughout the forest. They are all centred out of the Forest Centre, northeast northeast of Kendal. If the family is interested, interested, in all outdoor activities, activities, both summer and winter, the membership is available for a mere $60.00. The membership plan has grown in numbers considerably since its inception in late 1993. In 1997 the number has reached a total of 1124 members. The growth factor in membership is an indication indication that there is a concern in maintaining and preserving preserving the Ganaraska Forest environmentally and for the outdoor opportunities opportunities it provides. Revenues from the memberships in 1996 amounted to $16,387, an increase of almost 20 percent percent over that of 1995. Financial constraints caused the move to the membership plan. Revenue is being directed to the Forest operation. Memberships can be obtained at the Forest Centre or the Office of the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority.
