Hello Juliet,
I notice, that the meeting is being changed, or is it a mistake 
and the meeting will actually be at the regular time of #concj 
pm.
Also, I noticed, that the area code for the call in number is not 
correct.
The call in number should actually be 616-347-8400.
Thanks,

Robert Stigile

FYI Opens New Service Animal Area 

 

FRESNO, CA (August 10, 2009) - Fresno Yosemite International Airport is
pleased to announce the opening of the new Service Animal Relief Area.
The new service animal area provides a convenience for passengers
traveling with service animals and complies with the recent
implementation of the Department of Transportation's Air Carrier Access
Act Rule that requires these designated areas..  

 

Passengers accompanied by service animals simply request  an escort from
an authorized airline representative to and from the animal relief area.
The relief area was designed to provide a humane and secure location for
special needs passengers to care for the needs of their travelling
companions. The relief area consists of synthetic grass footing, fencing
for animal safety, and a fire hydrant for a touch of authenticity.

 

The new Service Animal Relief Area has received the support of Dr. Ed
Eames, President of the International Association of Assistance Dog
Partners and a Board member of Disability Rights California.  Dr. Eames
stated, "When arriving home in Fresno after traveling cross-country,
it's a relief to know my guide dog Latrell can relieve himself in a
comfortable and safe environment.  I congratulate Fresno Yosemite
International Airport for collaborating with the disabled community in
establishing a model facility." 

 

Vikkie Calderon, FYI Airport Public Information Officer commented,
"We're pleased with the staff at FYI for their commitment to collaborate
with the disabled community to create something unique to their needs
while meeting the mandatory regulation."

Hi all.  I finally made contact with South-eastern Guide Dogs, but was told 
that they couldn't send someone out to our state convention owing to the 
distance involved.  Oh well.

    The reason I wanted to get someone from SGD is that what with Billy, 
John Vandervort's guide coming from that school, and because of Billy's 
being attacked, I've seen his work up close and he's just a good solid dog; 
one might even say fearless.  That speaks well for South-eastern Guide dogs, 
and good luck to them. I gotta go.   Ken

Subject: [Cagdu] Fast prizes!
Message-ID: <AE0D524A6DC844418BE3AF23454F598C@MikePC>

Hi all I just twittered about this.  I was brainstorming about a fast way to 
get prizes for the virtual feast.  If this works as it can we might have 
enough prizes to donate to the original cause transportation from sacramento 
for attendees  and spread the remainder throughout supporting divisions and 
the general convention.  I will post a list of prizes that I get through 
Swagbucks  if this works.
I don't expect the fundraisers to be huge but in the event they do generate 
more money than the project needs my suggestion would be to spread the 
moneys first to helping people with transportation and additional convention 
expenses as needed than to the general convention for door prizes maybe half 
of the remainder and divide the remainder should there be one with each 
supporting chapter division to use for their door prizes or specially assist 
their members as they see fit.

I admittedly am dreaming big and thinking most likely smaller.
Either way you can without expense add to the door prize pool at least for 
the virtual pizza feast.
Have I got your curiosity?
Go to
http://mywwesearch.swagbucks.com/refer/itsmike
Join and I will get 1 Swagbuck for every one you earn up-to 100 Use the 
search engine and look arround the swagbucks store to see what prizes they 
have that you would like to win and let me know.
I think they give you and the prize pool that being me, each $3 before you 
even do one search.  So whether you like the site or not we each get $3 for 
your try and if 50 people have $3 that's 150 swagbucks I could get three $25 
restaurant.com cards with that.
If52 people do that I can get three swagbucks teashirts which are pretty 
snazzy.
 Maybe we can even get Swagbucks to talk about our golden gate walk and they 
have lots of members!  I think they are headquartered in or near San 
Francisco.  Did I mention they also have celebrity connections?  Another 
incintive! Do you think we could get the largest group of blind people at 
one time to join an unusual website!
If we do I'll certainly want to publish in their blog how and why I did it!
Another chance  to introduce the folks of the area and arround the world to 
the need for blind literacy!

I currently have 111 swagbucks.
You can't transfer the ones you get to me so enjoy those buy yourself a 
teashirt, an mp3 a musical instrument baseball cards gift cards or whatever 
your heart desires and than get your friends to join under you that won't 
help me with the prizes but it will help you get a more valuable one.
I will most likely buy lots of smaller prizes rather than a few big ones. I 
even saw keyboards and I think trumpets on there as prizes a while back and 
lots of autographed stuff from famous people.
The best search engine to use seems to be swagbucks.com for the first 
hundredsearches.  You can earn swagbucks other ways like by promoting their 
site if that interests you.
Once you reach the 100 using swagbucks.com
than you can do San Diego chargers.com or whatever team music artist 
whichever you like.
Want more information?  Write me off list.
If I don't get back fast in the next few days it's because I'm trying really 
hard to get an agency to help me start my internship hours.  I have until 
next wednesday or I will have to take the field work course at a later date.
I just found out Monday and started working on this project. I really need 
some catch up mobility which maybe paratransit will provide but I don't know 
when.
VR hasn't transferred my records so it's really hard to get the full 
assistance of a vr counselor I need, mine is on vacation last I heard and 
he's in Lancaster so I have to just wing it and let go and let God.
Mike

Morris Township company that trains seeing eye dogs celebrates anniversary
by
Tanya Drobness
/The Star-Ledger
Sunday August 23, 2009, 9:50 AM
MORRIS TOWNSHIP -- At 29, a genetic eye disease left Ray Kornman with such
severe
tunnel vision it was as if he was looking at the world through a straw. A
cane gave
him only limited security.
Then, a few years later, he visited The Seeing Eye in Morris Township. He
clasped
his thin fingers around a leather harness, slung over a yellow Lab, and for
the first
time he said he walked without fear.
Robert Sciarrino/The Star-Ledger
Ralph Malatesta, a trainer with The Seeing Eye, works Pluto, a young German
shepherd,
through the early stages of his training in downtown Morristown.
"It was like I had grown wings," Kornman recalled. "I was feeling freedom,
and moving
so swiftly and safely, and confidently."
Last week, Kornman joined Trisha Ebel of Secaucus whose Golden Retriever
Rainey also
helped restore her confidence, Vincent Chaney of Old Bridge, whose dog,
Shaeffer,
saved him from a speeding taxi in New York City, and some 200 other
graduates of
The Seeing Eye, the world's oldest guide dog school for the blind and
visually impaired
in the United States and Canada.
They gathered on the organization's campus to celebrate the group's 80th
anniversary.
Every year, nearly 300 students attend The Seeing Eye to learn how to bond
with a
guide dog. Over its 80 years, the organization has served about 8,000
people, said
Teresa Davenport, the organization's director of communications. About 500
puppies
are born each year at the school's Breeding Station in Chester Township.
It costs tens of thousands of dollars to match just one person with a dog,
yet the
school relies solely on donations, Davenport said.
The school sits on Morris Township's rolling green hills, and students are
frequently
seen walking with their dogs and with instructors in nearby Morristown.
During the
three-day reunion, the graduates attended banquets, workshops and toured
Morristown.
On Thursday, Mike May stood in front of the statue of the organization's
co-founder
Morris Frank with his Lab-golden cross, Miguel. May, who traveled from
Sacramento,
Calif. for the reunion, invented a GPS device designed for the blind and
visually
impaired.
"I came here with my wife, and she couldn't find the statue at first. I had
to tell
her, "Honey, it's straight ahead,' " he laughed.
"It's been a huge part of my mobility equation. I am out and about because
of (The
Seeing Eye)," May said.
Frank started The Seeing Eye in 1929, after he was inspired by a 1927
article by
well-known dog breeder and philanthropist Dorothy Harrison Eustis about
guide dogs
assisting blind World War I veterans. Frank moved to Morris County from
Nashville,
Tenn. in 1931.
"It was the beginning of the Great Depression, and here we are, 80 years
later, and
The Seeing Eye is still going strong," said Pete Lang, former Seeing Eye
instruction
and training manager.
"It is the leading guide dog school in the world," said Marion Gwizdala,
president
of the Tampa, Fla.-based National Association of Guide Dog Users. He said
the school
has for years set a standard for dog guide schools. There are about a dozen
in the
nation, and 72 worldwide accredited by the International Dog Guide
Federation.
The secret of The Seeing Eye's success is its ability to successfully bond a
person
with a dog. The two must communicate constantly, even their personalities
must blend.
"His purpose in life is to be with me," said Kornman, moments after giving a
command
to his black Lab, Mojo. "Good boy, left," he says softly to the dog. Mojo
gently
tugs Kornman toward a flight of stairs. Mojo stops before the first step --
the signal
that stairs loom. "The fear is gone because I know no matter what happens,
I'm going
to be okay," he said.
Kornman, the organization's outreach specialist, travels often and therefore
needs
a dog that can handle crowds and loves airplanes. Mojo fits perfectly under
a plane
seat.
Without the dog, Kornman's guidance would come from a cane, an option he
said he
was glad to be rid of.
"When I wasn't using a cane, people didn't know if I was stupid, if I was
rude, or
drunk," Kornman said. Now, he walks with a strut in his quick step. A guide
dog avoids
all obstacles and moving vehicles, and walks around puddles. Mojo stops at
every
door, and turns to face it so Kornman can find the doorknob.
"I am truly living a life today I never imagined with vision loss," Kornman
said.
Many of the graduates who returned to The Seeing Eye campus this past
weekend echoed
those feelings.
"The greatest feeling is when you put that harness on for the first time,
and you
are out on the street and you are in the middle of Morristown traffic, in
the middle
of all those cars," said Alan Conway of Quebec, Canada. "It feels like
flying."

Bonnie and Clyde are a bonded pair of Border Collies-but, in a one-of-a-kind
twist, Bonnie serves as a seeing eye dog for Clyde, who is completely blind.

By Kathryn Hawkins

August 02 2009

The original Bonnie and Clyde were together until the bitter end-and, though
they're not robbing any banks, the same goes for another couple named for
the reckless gangsters: a pair of Border Collies.

This canine couple was discovered wandering the streets of Norfolk, England
a month ago. They wore no tags or collars, but were obviously tame: when a
woman discovered the dogs running loose on the street during a rainstorm,
she opened her car door, and they instantly jumped in. Because she couldn't
find their owner, she took them to the Meadow Green Dog Rescue center, where
the staff and volunteers could help them find a new home.

The Meadow Green Dog staff soon realized that these were no ordinary dogs
although they both seemed fully functional when they were together, Clyde
was lost without Bonnie-literally. As it turned out, the five-year-old dog
was completely blind, and relied upon two-year-old Bonnie to be his own
seeing eye dog.

"If Clyde's unsure where he is he will suddenly go behind her and put his
face on her back so she can guide him where he is going," the center's
Cherie Cootes told The Telegraph.

"He totally relies on her the whole time. When she walks she tends to stop
and make sure he's there - she does look out for him."

In the initial article about Bonnie and Clyde in The Telegraph, Cootes
stressed that the dogs would need to be homed together. Such special
requests can be challenging to fill for any bonded pair of animals, but
particularly for a disabled dog like Clyde. She wasn't sure whether anyone
would be willing to make the commitment to care for the special pair.

But Cootes' worries were unfounded: after the article's publication, more
than 500 people called the Meadow Green Dog center, offering to take in
Bonnie and Clyde.

The two dogs have now been adopted by an animal lover who has a large home
in the country, providing ample space for the pair of Collies to run around
and play together. It's a perfect solution for the canine couple, whose
story is one of a kind. While many dogs have been trained as guide dogs for
human companions, Vicky Bell, a spokeswoman for Guide Dogs for the Blind
Association, says that she's never heard of another case in which a dog acts
as a guide for another dog. "This is a very unusual case - it's such a
lovely story," she said.

"Some dogs take to guiding better than others because they naturally have
the right temperament.

"It very much depends on the individual dog."

I just saw this article and I thought it would be good to pass it on.
Veterinarians warn about Lepto in humans August 17, 7:55 PM Rochester
Infectious Disease Examiner Charles Simmins

AP Photo/Julie Jacobson

People get many things from their dogs, friendship, companionship, exercise,
love. Sometimes they also get sick.

Leptospirosis
is a bacterial illness that dogs may catch through exposure to contaminated
water, rodents and rodent feces. Lepto is a bacterial family with over 200
varieties that can infect mammals from rats to cattle.

In dogs, it is a
very serious illness,
potentially fatal. A vaccine exists but it only protects against two
variants. It is treatable if caught in time. It's symptoms include
"anorexia, vomiting, lethargy, depression, muscle pain and sometimes
diarrhea or bloody urine". 
It can cause kideny and liver damage, and death.

 New varieties have appeared in the last several years for which there is no
vaccine. As with the appearance of any new disease, it can spread rapidly in
a region.

Humans that work with animals are the most likely to be exposed. 
Veterinarians, dairy farm workers and sewer workers top that list. With the
new varieties, there is increased concern about the potential for pet owners
to catch Lepto.

Pet owners should use proper sanitary practices around sick animals. Dog
urine is especially infectious. Gloves and boots are appropriate protection.

Sick dogs should not be walked in areas where children might come into
contact with the dog's urine, parks, playgrounds, etc. Care should be taken
to protect waterways, streams and creeks, from becoming contaminated.

Lepto will make a human very ill. In humans, the symptoms are nearly the
same as in a dog. Most patients will require hospitalization. Treatment
includes antibiotics and a patient may also need kidney dialysis.

Rapid veterinary care for a sick pet may save its life. Careful handling of
animals wastes and proper disposal will help prevent the pet owner from
becoming ill, as well.
For more info: The
Centers for Disease Control
and the
New York State Department of Health
have information on leptospirosis. Veterinarians will also be able to
provide information..

If errors are here it's the cut and paste man Me, that made them, they

Note also we didn't put of California in the tweets or point out this is 
being sponsored by the river city chapter.
This isn't meant as a slight or to omit anyone but rather  to save space 
knowing we can catch people as they come in and or clairify when they write

Twitter has a unique writing style.
