BGH welcomes new OBGYN EMC News - Brockville General Hospital (BGH) recently welcomed another new OBGYN physician to its ranks, Dr. Kristen Finkenzeller. Dr. Finkenzeller joined the BGH team in January, coming from a three-year position with the Kingston General Hospital Infertility Program. She completed her medical school degree at Queen’s University in Kingston and her residency at the University of Western Ontario in London—choosing her OBGYN specialty for its positive combination of birthing events in Obstetrics and largely treatable problems in Gynecology.

EMC Events - Local Yarnspinners Deborah Dunleavy and Bill Lalonde take their storytelling prowess on the road this March in celebration of World Storytelling Day. The two seasoned tellers of tales recently received a grant from Storytellers of Canada to assist with the expense of visiting three communities in the region. The theme this year is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fortune & Fateâ&#x20AC;? and to tie in with this Dunleavy and Lalonde have come up with a program called As the Spinning Wheel Turns. The presentation is a sometimes humorous and sometimes sorrowful look at the twists and turns of life with notions of romance, befuddlement and conquest. Audiences get to travel to far off lands and back through time, all under the magical spell of the spoken word. There are three wonderful opportunities for people (ages 12 and up) to come out and be entertained by these two experienced and highly acclaimed tellers: - Tuesday, March 19, 7 p.m. Augusta Township Library, 4500 County Road 15; 613-926-2449, - Thursday, March 21, 7 p.m. Joshua Bates Centre, for the Friends of the Athens Public Library 613-924-2048 - Saturday, March 22, 2 p.m. Smiths Falls Heritage House Museum, 613-283-6311. Deborah Dunleavy is an international storyteller and author. Her tours have taken her to Labrador, Scotland, Ireland, and Singapore. Deborah recently released â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Crystalâ&#x20AC;? a storytelling CD featuring over 100 minutes of stories from episodes produced for NCPR (North Country Public Radio) in Upper New York State. She is currently touring her one woman show on the War of 1812, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Battlefield Petticoats.â&#x20AC;? Bill Lalonde, is a wise sage of the art of story weaving. With a background in education and working with trouble youth Bill brings the healing power of the spoken word to his creative and uplifting tales. He has been a teller regionally as well as in Ottawa and Toronto for over 10 years.

EMC News - The Ministry of Natural Resources reminds dog owners that it is illegal and dangerous to allow dogs to run loose and chase deer during the non-hunting season. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very difficult for deer to run in deep snow or on ice. A deer chased by a dog can be injured, become exhausted or die. Steps to prevent dogs from chasing deer: Dog owners are urged to keep their dogs leashed or in enclosures to ensure the safety of both dogs and deer. Under the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act, it is illegal to let a dog run at large in an area inhabited by deer, moose, elk or bear during the closed season. Under this legislation, the ministryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conservation officers may charge dog owners and are authorized to destroy dogs found chasing deer. The public can report incidents of dogs chasing deer to their local ministry office during regular business hours, or by calling 1-877-TIPS-MNR (847-7667) toll-free anytime.
