ONTARIO TODAY is the first and only news and phone-in
program to link radio listeners across the province.
Ontario Today gets Ontarians up-to-date on what's happening
around the world, across the province, and in their
own backyard. The Ontario Today phone-in segments gives
you a chance to share your opinions and questions on
current topics, every weekday within our show between
noon and 2 p.m.
Next on Ontario Today...
It hangs in the back of our mouth and you notice it
when you look in the mirror checking on a soar throat.
Well that fleshy, hanging water droplet is actually
called an uvula. On the flip side you know earings hang
from your earlobe or you get cramps in your calf muscle.
But did you know that your pinkie finger is thought
to come from the Dutch word "pinkie" which
means small boat. There's lots to discover about the
origin of body part names.... including all the stories
behind the slang terms. We'll talk to the Ottawa author
of Carnal Knowledge...a new dictionary of sorts that
tackles anatomy and word origins.
Award Winning Series....
Ontario Today is pleased to announce that our colleague Cathy Alex has won
an award from the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario
for the two-part series she did in March 2006. The series
was called "The Birth of Grief, The Delivery of
Hope". It looked at how doctors, nurses and midwives
are being trained to help parents cope when they suffer
a miscarriage, a stillbirth or the death of their newborn.
Tania Pynn shared her very personal story of the stillbirth
of her son Barrett in November 2003. His death motivated
the Thunder Bay public health nurse to organize a conference
on perinatal bereavement. The workshop focussed on teaching
health care workers how to help grieving parents create
a lifetime of memories from an ultrasound picture, a
lock of hair and a tiny footprint.
