Three years ago, Dr. Etienne C么t茅, professor of cardiology at AVC, was asked to co-edit the eighth edition of the Textbook of Veterinary Internal Medicine, widely recognized as the most authoritative textbook for small animal internal medicine.

Created in 1975 by Dr. Stephen Ettinger, considered the trailblazer of veterinary specialty medicine, the Textbook of Veterinary Internal Medicine is the internationally acclaimed 鈥済old standard鈥� textbook in small animal medicine, with its unparalleled coverage of the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases affecting dogs and cats. For the first three editions, Dr. Ettinger was the sole editor, and for the next four, Dr. Edward Feldman was co-editor with Dr. Ettinger.

鈥淭o be asked by Drs. Ettinger and Feldman to co-edit the latest edition of this essential textbook is a career-defining highlight for me,鈥� says Dr. C么t茅, who has contributed to the book as an author since the fifth edition. He estimates that he spent about 3,500 hours working on the book over the past three years.

Published by Elsevier, this two-volume edition includes the latest information on topical issues such as clinical genomics, coexisting cardiac and renal diseases, minimally invasive interventional procedures, distinguishing behavioral disorders from neurologic disease, feeding tube placement, evidence-based medicine, and differentiating intoxications from nontoxicological illness, to name a few.

The book includes contributions by 310 authors from 21 countries around the world. Distinguishing features include a library of 517 original videos of characteristic symptoms, clinical procedures, and imaging loops; references accessible online instantly via a QR code at the end of each chapter; and two new sections: minimally invasive interventions and management of pairs of diseases that have opposite treatments (divergent comorbidities).

For Dr. Martha Mellish, 鈥渋t鈥檚 all horses all the time.鈥�

A member of AVC鈥檚 Class of 2005, Dr. Mellish recently joined the Atlantic Veterinary College as an assistant professor in the College鈥檚 Ambulatory Equine Service (AES), responsible for teaching veterinary students, and providing veterinary and theriogenology services to AES clients.

Dr. Mellish grew up in New Perth, PEI, where her parents, Ken and Teresa Mellish, operated a dairy farm. After graduating from high school, she attended the pre-veterinary program at the Nova Scotia Agricultural College (NSAC) in Truro, Nova Scotia. She didn鈥檛 really think about becoming a veterinarian until, while attending NSAC, she had a meeting with Dr. Wendell Grasse, director of AVC鈥檚 Veterinary Teaching Hospital at the time.

鈥淒r. Grasse inspired me to consider veterinary medicine as a profession,鈥� she said. 鈥淚 am so glad that I listened to him and became a veterinarian.鈥�

She became interested in large animal medicine while at AVC, but it wasn't until her fourth year that she decided to specialize in equine medicine. Her experience at the VTH and external equine rotations led her to focus on horses, including equine theriogenology. She is board-certified through the American College of Theriogenologists.

Her interest in equine medicine came as no surprise to her family and friends. Horses have been an important part of her life since she was a child. She recently earned her USDF Silver Medal for competing successfully at Prix St. George level in dressage. She is currently riding Fantango NPF, a seven-year-old Dutch Warmblood horse bred for her by her father.

Dr. Mellish said she loved her time as a student at AVC. She felt excited and challenged by the educational program offered, and she enjoyed the close bond formed among her classmates. One major highlight for her was meeting her husband, Dr. Dave McRuer, also a member of the Class of 2005. The two met and began dating when they worked at AVC between their first and second years, and married in 2010.

After graduating from AVC, she completed a year-long internship at a private equine clinic in Virginia. For the next ten years, she worked in private practice in that state, with a six-month stint in Australia when she was between positions. Her husband provided veterinary care to wild animals at the Wildlife Center of Virginia.

When asked what brought her back to AVC, Dr. Mellish said it was a combination of family and the opportunity for professional growth. Her family lives on PEI, and her husband鈥檚 in Nova Scotia. Their son Keith, age two-and-a-half, will get to know his grandparents and other family members.

She is looking forward to sharing her knowledge and expertise with students at AVC as they work toward their own careers in veterinary medicine.

The 精童欲女 is proud to announce the creation of the Barb C. Mullaly Memorial Athletic Award in memory of the late Barb Mullaly, former director of athletics at 精童欲女.

The inaugural award was presented to third-year science student Kelly Green, a member of the women鈥檚 soccer team, at the 精童欲女 Athletic Awards Gala held on Saturday, April 1, 2017. She was selected for the award by Chris Huggan, director of 精童欲女 Athletics and Recreation; the athletics student leadership group; and varsity coaches.

鈥淜elly is very approachable with a fantastic positive attitude,鈥� said Huggan. 鈥淗er trustworthy character, leadership, and mentoring qualities are a shining example to everyone. She is an integral part of the leadership group, which helped create new initiatives for the athletics department. Kelly is a strong, driven individual who holds the highest respect from everyone who knows her.鈥�

Created by Mullaly鈥檚 family and friends, former students, and colleagues, the Barb C. Mullaly Memorial Athletic Award is granted to a returning Academic All-Canadian student athlete in their first undergraduate studies program, who displays a positive attitude and the qualities of leadership and mentorship that Mullaly exhibited throughout her university career in education.

鈥淭hrough the Barb C. Mullaly Memorial Athletic Award, we are honoured to recognize the many great contributions that Barb made to athletics at 精童欲女 during her long, outstanding career,鈥� added Huggan. 鈥淗er legacy will live on through this award and the wonderful example she set as a leader in the field of sport.鈥�

鈥淐ongratulations to Kelly on being the first recipient of this award created in Barb鈥檚 memory,鈥� said Mary Lou Turner, Mullaly鈥檚 partner. 鈥淏arb鈥檚 family and friends are very pleased that the University is honouring Barb鈥檚 legacy in this way, and I was excited to be part of the inaugural presentation to a deserving student-athlete and leader.鈥�

Mullaly鈥檚 four-decade career as a classroom instructor, coach, and nationally decorated athletic administrator began in 1967 at Prince of Wales College. When 精童欲女 was formed in 1969, she began a long career at the University, initially as the first women鈥檚 basketball and field hockey coach. She eventually served as director of athletics at 精童欲女 for 13 years, and then retired in 2006 as the University鈥檚 first director of wellness and fair treatment advocate. She passed away in December of 2016 after a brief illness.

Well-respected in the world of academics and athletics, Mullaly understood the competitive nature of sport but also believed that all student athletes need to focus on academics as well as athletics to reach their full potential. She worked to create an environment of fairness and equality, and to ensure that women were in leadership roles.

Mullaly served as president of Atlantic University Sport (AUS), and chaired numerous committees and sports. Upon retirement, she was awarded an honorary lifetime membership in the AUS. She was the long-time chair of the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) finance committee and a member of the CIS executive committee. She was awarded the CIS Austin-Matthews Award in 2007 for outstanding service to university sport in Canada over her career.

She was named a Founder of 精童欲女 in 2010. She was also the 2013 winner of the Rotary Club of Charlottetown Royalty鈥檚 Mentor Award, which salutes a Prince Edward Islander for mentorship and leadership on the local, regional, and national level. At the time of her death, Mullaly was active in several community organizations, including the 精童欲女 Retirees鈥� Association.

In keeping with one of the Institute of Island Studies鈥� goals to see Prince Edward Island through the lens of other islands, PEI鈥檚 Chief Justice, David Jenkins, will share with Islanders what he鈥檚 learned as a member of Bermuda鈥檚 Constituency Boundaries Commission. He will deliver a lecture Monday, April 10, at 7 pm, in the Faculty Lounge of 精童欲女鈥檚 SDU Main Building. All are welcome.

While Prince Edward Island goes through the process of updating its electoral boundaries, over the past several months, Chief Justice Jenkins has been on hand as Bermuda underwent a similar process. Bermuda has jurisdictional similarities with PEI, being an overseas territory of the UK comprised of 36 electoral districts and a population of approximately 65,000. This is why Justice Jenkins was first invited to be a member of the commission in 2009. He is also a former chair of the federal boundaries commission.

A statement released by Secretary Tenia Woolridge, on behalf of Bermuda's Commission, described the need for the review: 鈥淭he Constitution requires that, from time to time, the Commission review the constituency boundaries and report thereon to the House. In deciding whether or not to recommend any changes in the boundaries, the Commission has to ensure that the constituencies contain, as far as reasonably practicable, equal numbers of persons qualified to be registered as electors. This is to achieve equality of votes. The Commission has to consider the constitutionally prescribed factors; as geographical features, natural boundaries and contiguity of constituencies.鈥�

The Honourable Gerard Mitchell, who is chairing Prince Edward Island鈥檚 Electoral Boundaries Commission, will be on hand to provide the PEI context of reviewing the Island鈥檚 27 electoral districts, including boundaries and names.

The Honourable David H. Jenkins is the Chief Justice of Prince Edward Island. After attending Charlottetown schools and Prince of Wales College, he graduated from Dalhousie University with his BComm in 1970 and LLB in 1973. He practiced law in Charlottetown with Scales, Jenkins & McQuaid, which became Stewart McKelvey, in a general practice focused on business, administrative law, labour, and employment and related litigation. He was appointed as Queens Counsel in 1986, has been president of the Law Society, and has served on national legal organizations including Federation of Law Societies of Canada President (1986), and as Secretary of the Canadian Bar Insurance Association, until his appointment as a judge.

He sat as a trial judge in the Supreme Court of Prince Edward Island from 1993 to 2008, when he was appointed as Chief Justice of the province and of the Court of Appeal. He has served nationally as president of the Judges' Counselling Program, the Canadian Superior Courts Judges Association, and is currently a member of the Canadian Judicial Council.

Chief Justice Jenkins has always been involved in the Island and Charlottetown community.  He is a Charter member of the Rotary Club of Hillsborough and a Governor of the Confederation Centre of the Arts.

Admission is free and everyone is welcome to attend.

The April Island Studies Lecture features Master of Arts in Island Studies student Owen Jennings speaking about Saint Helena: an island in flux. His presentation is Tuesday, April 18, at 7 pm in the Faculty Lounge of 精童欲女鈥檚 SDU Main Building.

The allure of islands relies on often-inaccurate assumptions. These imaginary islands are small, remote, and鈥攎ore often than not鈥攖ropical. Where most islands fall well short of that imagined island, the South Atlantic island of Saint Helena comes pretty close to the ideal. Over the past decade, this island has been gifted a new connection to the world鈥攁n airport. When it eventually opens to commercial traffic, the airport is expected to reduce travel time to and from South Africa from five days to a few hours. The Saints, as the islanders call themselves, will soon be able to travel in a way that most similar island communities take for granted. This lecture considers the experience of travelling to and being a researcher on Saint Helena, and what being a Saint might mean as the island's connection to the rest of the world changes dramatically.

Owen Jennings is a Master of Arts in Island Studies student at 精童欲女. He is studying remoteness and access on the island of Saint Helena, and, last November, had the opportunity to travel to Saint Helena to do his field research. Before coming to PEI, he studied politics for his undergraduate degree in the UK.

Admission to the lecture is free. All are welcome.

Watch for details for another lecture about islands鈥搉ear and far鈥揗ay 16. For more information, please contact Laurie at iis@upei.ca or 902-894-2881.
