SPRING 1999
The Pine Tree Guide Dog Users Newsletter
The Pine Tree Guide Dog Users (PTGDU) is an affiliate of the national Guide Dog Users Inc., the American Council of the Blind, and the American Council of the Blind of Maine.
Hello all! We have made it through another crazy winter. It won’t be long before we are enjoying the fresh smell of spring in the air! While many Mainers have been hibernating for the long winter months, PTGDU, the ACB of Maine, and the Maine Center for the Blind teamed up with the honorable Senator Beverly Daggett to submit a bill to the legislature to strengthen Maine’s white cane law.
L.D. 655, AN ACT TO INCREASE THE PENALTY FOR FAILURE TO YIELD THE RIGHT-OF WAY TO A VISUALLY IMPAIRED PEDESTRIAN was Presented by the honorable Senator Daggett And Cosponsored by Representatives Fuller, Mayo and Berry on February 22, 1999. Several members of PTGDU and ACB of Maine attended the hearing. Lt. Anne Schaad, on behalf of the Maine State Police was also present to SUPPORT L.D. 655, Lt. Schaad testified that unlike many other states, Maine currently does not have a requirement in its traffic law specifically directed toward giving visually impaired pedestrians the right-of-way over motor vehicles. There is a section in the white cane law in title 17 which addresses the issue, but the only penalty is civil liability. Lt. Anne Schaad along with the many visually impaired persons that testified, urged the committee to include A SPECIFIC VIOLATION to BE ADDED TO THE TITLE 29-A TRAFFIC LAW. The committee was very receptive and thanks to the efforts of Lt. Anne Schaad, a bill signing ceremony will take place with the governor upon the passage of this bill. PTGDU would like to thank everyone who participated in the hearing and showed his or her support for this much needed amendment!
PTGDU would also like to thank member Sue Martin for designing and developing Pine Tree’s very own web site!! Through many hours of hard work, Sue was able to bring our affiliate into the world of cyberspace! We have already received inquiries about dog-related issues and orders for our PTGDU t-shirts are rolling in! Many thanks Sue!
I would also like to take a moment to welcome our new PTGDU members. We may be a small group but we have loads of talent and determination in our group. If anyone, old or new, would like to learn more about what our group is up to and how you can help, please don’t hesitate to contact any of our board members. All contact information can be found at the end of this newsletter. Also, you may want to consider running for a position on our board, all positions will be up for re-election in September. Our fall convention will be held at The Senator Inn in Augusta this year on September 17 and 18 in conjunction with the ACB of Maine. We have an exciting and informative program in the works! Watch for more details in the summer issue of The Pine Tree Barker.
Sincerely,

Come laugh and learn with us in Los Angeles!
A break through technique in caring for your favorite animal.
Linda Tellington-Jones, a renowned teacher and animal behavior expert, has created a simple, yet extraordinarily successful, method of training and healing animals that is adaptable by people of all levels of skills and abilities. This systematic method is easy to learn and brings quick lasting results. It is used by animal owners, breeders, veterinarians, animal shelters, zookeepers, Olympic teams and universities in over 30 countries. This T touch can deepen the bond between you and your companion animal. It has been proven to calm animals and restore confidence and can alleviate their pains, fears and tensions.
Through extensive studies it is known that dogs and cats and birds and other pets can reduce stress, lower our blood pressure and lengthen our lives. In many households a beloved animal takes the place of a child or "significant other". This T touch offers a new form of communication, training and healing for you and your animal. If you have an animal whose behavior or temperament needs improving, if you are caring for an older animal that's in pain, if you want injuries and surgery to heal more quickly, then you are a candidate to learn the T touch and GDUI can help!
GDUI will be offering a T touch workshop at the 1999 convention in Los Angeles. Several licensed practitioners will host this year's Tellington Touch workshop. The two-hour seminar will begin with an audio description of the T touch method while licensed practitioners perform the touches on each participant. This will help individuals have a better understanding of what they are trying to relay to their animals. The group will then be divided into Three to four teams per "pod" to work with a practitioner for hands-on instruction. Participants will learn the simple techniques of the T touch including ear slides, mouth work, Noah's March and circle and 1/4. These particular touches will give the group a solid foundation of TTOUCH!! Watch for your convention registration and be sure to sign up for the TTOUCH TEAM workshop!! We will only be able to host this workshop for approximately 25 guide dog teams so get your registration in early! The cost of this year's workshop will be $10.
PTGDU is both happy and sad to see our very own guide dog pup to be returned to The Seeing Eye to begin his new life training to be a guide dog. Maryann Mitchell returned German sheppard (gsd) Timmy to the Seeing Eye on the weekend after Easter, but don’t despair, we have a new member to pet and cuddle!! This very clever and rambunctious gsd pup named Victor is keeping Maryann very busy. The two have already been out giving group presentations and it won’t be long before Maryann’s number 26 pup will meet our clan!

With the longer, warmer days and increased sunshine (because this is Maine, we'll speak in relative terms) comes the need to worry about fleas and ticks, the most common ectoparasites to affect our dogs at work and play. Some people will have been using repellent or control products year-round, or with heartworm preventative, but most of us will consider these insects a spring-through-late fall issue. As such, ticks often appear in the early spring in large numbers, decrease in frequency through the dog days of summer, and then rebound for a last gasp through the first couple of frosts. They often occur on the dog in groups of two or three, and they spend several hours looking for a good attachment site, stay planted for up to three days while they feed, and then drop off. Fleas, on the other hand, start slowly reproducing as the weather warms and will reach their peak numbers by August or September. This is when most flea infestation or allergy problems appear out-of-control, and treatment is difficult. By then, all pets in the house are likely to be affected, and you will find adult fleas, larvae, and eggs in the furniture, carpet, and cracks between floorboards. Fleas cause obvious problems: itching and hair loss due to sheer numbers, true allergic reactions, and in young or very old animals blood loss resulting in anemia. All are worth avoiding if possible, obviously, and a dog merely bothered one year may develop an allergy the next. Ticks are more of a subtle problem, in that if undetected they often come and go with only a small scab at their attachment site and a local reaction from their anticoagulant saliva. They do, however, carry many spirochete or rickettsial diseases like Lyme disease, babesiosis, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, according to where you live.
Avoidance is the best treatment, but very hard for most of us. Contact with carrier animals, and walking or working in affected areas seeded with fleas and ticks from pets and wild critters is almost unavoidable. Brushing your dog down with a stiff bristle brush head-to-toe after being in the field will often remove adult and nymph ticks before attachment and may help decrease flea numbers brought inside with you. All sorts of home remedies like brewer's yeast or garlic in the food or cedar shavings in the bedding may help some animals but are not proven to be effective; they are very safe, however.
Flea and tick treatments and prevention available over the counter or from your veterinarian come in various forms and efficacies. Most flea/tick sprays, powders, and bathes contain pyrethrins, permethnin, or other chrysanthemum derivatives; they are effective but short-lived, not water-resistant, and are toxic in very young or very small animals - follow label instructions carefully. Flea collars, flea dips, and many older forms of extended-release topicals contain some version of organophosphate or organocarbamate, toxins to the insect nervous system and effective against adult fleas and ticks as well as eggs; these are often also a source of toxicity to the animals being treated and are largely outdated today.
The Big Three flea and tick products currently available through veterinary clinics are the safest and most effective of the bunch. First, a product called Program, which contains lufenuron, is administered to dogs monthly as a tablet and is available with some heartworm products. A long-acting injection of this is also available for cats. Program has no effect on ticks or the adult fleas; it circulates in the animal's bloodstream as an inert ingredient, so it's very safe, and when ingested by the flea is passed to the eggs and prevents hatching. Therefore, it is primarily a population control. Flea-allergic dogs will not benefit from this, and all animals in the household must be treated for Program to be effective at controlling the flea problem. Advantage (imidaclopnid) and Top Spot/Frontline (fipronil) both are available as concentrates applied to the skin (Frontline also comes as a spray). They provide long acting flea control with varying degrees of duration and water-resistance, and the Top Spot/Frontline products also work against ticks. Both competing drugs are very minimally active in mammals, and so they are safe for your dog and its humans as well. They are expensive per dose, but efficacy can persists from one to three months each time they are applied, and at our practice Top Spot has proven to be extremely effective these products are well worth their expense.
If your canine companion is currently fighting fleas, discuss with your veterinary contacts the best treatment plan, including treating the household environment. If you're looking for prevention, start these products in the late spring to avoid problems later, and plan to discontinue after the first or second frost of the fall for fleas and possibly into early winter if ticks are a major concern.

I, and my guide dog Reva were very honored to attend this year’s ACB legislative seminar in Washington D.C., as the GDUI representative. This year’s conference focused on four main topics including Social Security reform, increased funding for Older Blindness related programs, the proposed amendment of the Air Carriers Access Act, and the proposed amendment of the copyright law to encourage increased production of books in specialized formats.
Sunday was devoted to learning more about each topic and their related issues. We had several wonderful speakers and were given the opportunity to have a question and answer session after each speaker. I think the most important issue for GDUI and Pine Tree is the proposed amendment for the Air Carriers Access Act.
The Air Carriers Access Act was originally developed to heighten the awareness of airline personnel to the needs of air travelers with disabilities and to provide recourse to persons with disabilities who have experienced discrimination by airlines. Unfortunately, airline practices remain inconsistent, incidents of discrimination in air travel against persons with disabilities have continued, and of particular concern is those involving foreign airlines doing business in this country. Kathleen A. Blank an attorney/program specialist for the United States National Council on Disabilities (NCD) presented the results of NCD’s extensive study on the lack of federal enforcement regarding the Air Carrier Access Act. NCD’s overview of the compliance monitoring situation identified the overwhelming need for adequate funding for the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) to set up a mechanism to follow through with the activities of the Federal Aviation Administration. The Air Carrier Access act was developed to protect the rights of air travelers with disabilities as the airlines are exempt from the A.D.A. This exemption is permitted as safety is the number one priority and in this case, civil rights are secondary. A brochure entitled New Horizons is available for air travelers with disabilities to help them understand their civil rights.
Julie Carroll, the chair of ACB’s environmental access board, reported on the recent activities on the hill. Senators Olympia J. Snowe of
Maine and Ron Wyden of Oregon worked with Senator John McCain of Arizona to successfully add strengthening language in the Senate
Committee on the Air Transportation Improvement Act (S.82). The three major components included:
1. Foreign airlines would be forced to comply with the Air Carriers Access Act.
2. All claims of discrimination would be investigated and all data would be recorded.
3. Penalties for violations would be increased and each incident of discrimination would be treated as a separate violation.
The most important part of this amendment is that it will not impact an individual’s right to private action. It also states that provisions would be made for all reasonable attorney fees. As a gesture of our gratitude for our senator’s persistence in putting teeth in to this act, the Pine Tree Guide Dog Users sent Senator Snowe and her aid Mark Berumen both one of Pine Tree’s very own logo t-shirts! Please don’t hesitate to send your own note of thanks to our Maine senator!

"Darla forward", I timidly said
As down the busy streets we sped.
We rounded corners and crossed streets,
Through crowds of people, we didn't stop to meet.
Around parking meters and garbage cans
We seemed to fly, then back to the vans.
"Darla forward", I confidently said
With instruction complete, all had been said.
A new outlook on life we'd together begun
We'd face each new day in turn, one by one.
Years of laughter and tears, sorrow and pain.
As, side by side, we boarded the plane.
"Darla forward", I seriously said
My sights upon knowledge
As you guided me safely
To library and college.
I never worried as you cleared a path
I concentrated instead on English and math.
"Darla forward", I nervously said
Thoughts of refusal filling my head.
Off we went to a job interview
It seemed to me I'd worried for nought
We were hired, my boss loved you,
We'd gotten the coveted job we sought.
"Darla forward", I repeatedly said
Bound for work at the nearest hospital
Side by side, each morning we'd trudge.
You guided me through all kinds of weather
Stifling summer, autumn downpour
Icy winter, spring time sludge.
"Darla forward", I excitedly said
Refusing to merely sit by instead,
In my wildest dreams I wouldn't have guessed
We'd climb the Statue of Liberty's stairs
What an accomplishment, we made it up there!
With your dedication, we could do nothing less.
"Darla forward", I lovingly said
Just as always you'd flawlessly lead
Across the country or across the street
The years I spent with you were most sweet.
Though you would have worked with physical pain
I couldn't endure it, nothing would be gained.
"Darla forward", I achingly said
My heart filled with sympathy, sadness and dread
And guilt for replacing you due to your pain.
As I went to board another plane
Knowing you wouldn't be there
When I came home again.
Forward to retirement you gracefully went
Days filled with leisure and sunshine you spent.
Into the home of trusted friends of mine
No better home on earth for you could I find.
They loved you and helped you to live out your days
Filled each one with tenderness and praise.
Forward to whatever God has in store
For faithful friends we will love evermore.
You take with you a piece of my heart
You gave my adult life its true start.
You rest now free from the pain that you bore
Blanketed with the love of your friends evermore.
In memory of "Darla", my first seeing eye dog, a black Labrador Retriever, November 1, 1979 -- August 16, 1993
There is a bridge connecting heaven and earth. It is called the Rainbow Bridge, because of its many colors. Just this side of the rainbow bridge, there is a land of meadows, hills, and valleys with lush green grass.
Whenever a beloved pet dies, that pet goes to the Rainbow Bridge. There is always food and water and warm spring weather so all our special friends can run and play together. All the animals who had become ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who are hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
There is only one thing missing. They are not with their special person who loved them on earth and who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops playing and looks up. The nose twitches, the ears come up, the bright eyes are intent, the body quivers. Then this one suddenly runs from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
YOU have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross the RAINBOW BRIDGE together never again to be separated.

A bible verse written about guide dogs?? Along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth...." — Isaiah 42:16
Guide Dog Users of California (GDUC) has begun a fund raising project. It consists of seven different items. 4 different collar tags for our dogs or for suspending from a chain or zipper pull or the like for us. We also have three different lapel pins. While the descriptions may sound much alike, each item will be described individually.
German Shepherd Collar Tag
This is a pendant suspended from an s-hook. It is the head of a German Shepherd with a pair of wings sprouting from it. It is, off course,
a Guardian Angel pendant. It is approximately one inch high and an inch and a half wide. It is pewter in color. What color is pewter? A
grayed silver tone. The model is positioned head on so you can both see and feel the wings.
Golden Retriever Collar Tag
The Golden Retriever collar tag is a replica of a Golden Retriever's head with the Guardian Angel wings. This pendant also comes with an
attached s-hook for suspending from your dog’s collar, or you can change that s-hook to a link and suspend it elsewhere as you prefer. It
is about one inch high by one and a half inches wide. This pendant is also pewter in color.
Labrador Retriever Collar Tag
Our Labrador Retriever collar tag is pewter in color and is a representation of the head of a Labrador Retriever with angel wings. It is
approximately one inch high by one and a half inches wide. It comes with an s-hook to be used to suspend the tag from your dog’s collar or
whatever you want to hang it on.
Our "Generic" Collar Tag
This gold toned collar tag is a bit different from the others. It is low relief in the shape of a Labrador Retriever's head with a pair of
angel wings attached. It is approximately one inch high by one and a half inches wide. It is suspended from an s-hook that will hook to
your dogs collar or to anything to which you wish to attach it. On the back of this charm is printed a little prayer which reads:
"Guardian Angel watch over me, guide me home safely, and keep me from harms way."
German Shepherd Lapel Pin
Our fifth item is just the head of a German Shepherd looking straight at you. No wings. It is pewter in color and has a military style
clutch for attaching to your lapel.
Golden Retriever Lapel Pin
Our Golden Retriever lapel pin is about 3/4 of an inch to one inch high. It is a Golden Retriever's head looking directly at you. No
wings. It is pewter in color and has a military style clutch for attaching to a lapel.
Labrador Retriever Lapel Pin
The Labrador Retriever lapel pin is about 3/4 of an inch to one inch in height. Just the head of a Labrador Retriever looking straight on at
you. It is pewter in color and comes with a military clutch for attachment.
Each of the items described above come mounted on a card that was created especially for GDUC. It is about five inches high by three
inches wide. On the face of it is a German Shepherd, a Golden Retriever, a Labrador Retriever, sitting up. They are not in harness. There
is a representation of a Guide Dog Harness pictured on the card as well. There is our logo and an emblem at the lower edge of the card that
says "In support of Guide Dog Users of California". There is a little prayer on the card. It reads:
"Guardian Angel watch over me, guide me home safely, and keep me from harms way."
On the back of the card is a copy of the prayer in Braille.
Each item sells for $6.00 (US funds). You may send your order along with $6.00 (US funds) for each item requested plus $1.-00 shipping in
the USA to:

Thank you for supporting Guide Dog Users of California.
PTGDU member Bill Irwin and his Seeing Eye dog, Orient, hiked the entire 168 mile Appalachian Trail in 1990. This was the most publicized human endeavor that happened that year. Since they are the only blind team that have completed this stringent and dangerous task Bill has been a much sought after speaker all over the country. Orient retired in November of 1995 when Bill got Bronnie, his current dog. Orient lived a few months more than a year and then went on to doggie heaven where he resides now.
On March 7, 1999, Orient was inducted into the Ralston Purina Animal Hall of Fame. He was nominated by Drs. Swiderski and Spreat, who provided veterinary services for Orient while he was in the home of Mike Mraz who was in the Seeing Eye Puppy Club program where the puppies reside for a period of approximately one year. This program plays a very important part in the success of a Seeing-Eye dog. The ceremony was held at Parsippany New Jersey at the annual meeting of the New Jersey Veterinary Medical Association. There were several categories and Orient won in the professional category. There were several other inductees and when their stories were told it made Bill even prouder that Orient had been selected. A pony that was used for therapy, one of the few certified therapy cats, two police dogs one of whom was shot and killed in the line of duty. His death was not in vein because it resulted in state legislation making the penalty more stringent for killing police dogs. All the stories about the inductees were heart wrenching. There were many tissues passed around the tables during the presentation. Mike Mraz and his family were invited and it was great for Bill to see them again.
Mr. Ken Rosenthal, President of The Seeing Eye, Inc., was the keynote speaker for the event and gave a very inspirational and informative presentation about the Seeing-Eye and it's history. He shared that Buddy, the first Seeing-Eye dog in America, who was owned by Morris Frank, was also an inductee in the Ralston Purina Hall of Fame. Morris Frank and Buddy blazed the trail all across the country which resulted in both state, and federal legislation to make it legal for a dog-guide user to be accompanied in public places with their guides. So Orient is in pretty good company, I would say! Listening to all these touching stories brought back lots of wonderful memories for Bill. He couldn't help thinking about his four Seeing-Eye dogs and how much his life has changed as a result of making the decision to get Jorie, his first one. It has been over two years since Orient died but he still lives on in the hearts of the thousands of people all over the world who loved him, and will for many years to come! Congratulations to Bill and his wonderful friend and companion, Orient!
(Editor’s Note: Bill Irwin shares his adventures on a Maine river in the 1999 March issue of Guideposts.)
Pine Tree’s Larry Young and golden guide Indie teamed up with GEB puppy raiser Brad and sweet black lab pup Jenna to give a presentation to the Lewiston Kennel Club! The two men shared the story of pup to working guide while both dogs enjoyed their audience!
Leona Mckenna with gsd Rike tended a booth for PTGDU at the Legislative Awareness Day at the state house. Information was handed out and lessons on guide dog etiquette were administered. Thanks to the Citizen’s Advisory Council for the opportunity to have a booth!
Maryann Mitchell and Seeing Eye puppy Timmy headed down to the Bay State Council of the Blind spring convention accompanied by Ginger Soucy and guide dog Reva. The four Mainers were warmly welcomed by the Massachusetts crew. Many PTGDU t-shirts and sweatshirts were sold and the two woman gave a brief overview of PTGDU and puppy raising. A big thanks to the Bay State Council for their hospitality!!
>PTGDU members Steve Obremski, Pat Ellis and Leona McKenna were featured on the front page of the Togus Veteran’s Hospital newsletter as participants of the First Eye Opener Golf Tournament held last September. Other members attending were Larry Young, Mark Soucy, Ginger Soucy and of course, the Pine Tree pooches!
This was a notice from the Veterinary Emergency Center in Needham, MA. Febreze a new product that is used to get odors out of fabrics has been causing deaths and illness in dogs and birds. There have been multiple instances reported in the past few weeks of dogs and birds dying after Febreze was used anywhere near them. Some dogs have only gotten very ill, but some have died. Several birds have died as well. Febreze contains zinc chloride, which is the culprit. If you have recently sprayed your dog's bed with this product, please wash it until you get all of the Febreze out, or get your dog new bedding.
