for individual authors, commercial-space
who now have the possibility of publishing without the constraints of
finding an agent and publisher to get their work

Amy Rachiele, an Uxbridge
author who writes compelling mobster romance novels.
Amy Rachiele, a popular
author living in Uxbridge,
has found her own niche
in the romance market, the
mobster romance. She says
her interest in mobsters
probably came from growing
up in the Providence area of
Rhode Island, where the lore
of mobsters was very prevalent. Amy says most of her
readers are female and like
to read about an alpha male
who is still sensitive and kind
to the heroine. The Mobster
series follows Antonio, a mob
boss from New Jersey, and
Megan, a transplanted Irish
immigrant, as they journey
through the dangerous territory of “The Mob.” Fans are
anxiously awaiting the fifth
book in the series, “Mobster’s Bones.”
Amy says she has several
other books in the vampire
and paranormal genres,
which she enjoys writing,
but have been a little slower
catching on. Read descriptions of her books and get
information about free books
at
www.amyrachiele.com.
She has ten titles available in
e-book format as well as hard
copy at Amazon, Smashbooks, iBooks, Barnes and
Noble and Kobo.
Another romance writer
is Worcester’s Maggie Perez,
who writes under the name
Margy Millet and recently
published her first adult contemporary romance novel,
“Daughter’s Revenge.” Read
more of Maggie’s story at
www.margymillet.com.
Sometimes books are created because the author is seriously and deeply involved
in something and the book
is the natural extension of
that progression. Uxbridge’s
Leslie Reichert is a nationally recognized “Cleaning
Coach,”
a
green-homekeeping expert dedicated to
educating people on keeping their homes, schools and
work areas “green.” Leslie
has a fun website with lots of
free tips and 30- second videos. A TV personality who
has appeared on Better TV,
Martha Stuart Living Radio,
and ABC News, Leslie decided to put her message down
in book form too. Her book,
“The Joy of Cleaning,” is
available at Amazon and also
at Whole Foods. Her website
is www.greencleaningcoach.
com.
Douglas author Sandra
Madden’s personal experi-
ences also motivated the writing of her book. After a traumatic brain injury, and years
of learning how to cope with
the aftermath, Sandra discovered her own solution to silencing the brain chatter and
quieting the mind. Although
many find relief in meditation, Sandra discovered her
form of meditation in the
joy of finding love-hearts everywhere she goes. Camera
in hand she has taken thousands of pictures confirming
that love-hearts are everywhere.
“Hearts All Around Us”
is a collection of these photographs and inspirational
quotations, in conjunction
with the story of the author’s
experience living with brain
injury and chronic pain.
Sandra was able to publish
the book using a Kickstarter
program and in 45 days
she raised enough to create her book. Nine months
later her beautiful book was
a reality. Sandra also contributed “Unexpected Blessings” as part of the recently
published “Chicken Soup for
the Soul: Recovering from
Traumatic Brain Injuries.”
Sandra’s books are available
at Amazon.com and from her
website at http://www.civinmediarelations.com/SandraMadden-Hearts-All-Aroundus.html. A portion of her
book proceeds are donated
to the Brain Injury Association of Massachusetts to support group activities.

Another very popular
theme in both adult and
Young Adult fiction is the
futuristic Dystopian society.
The exact opposite of Utopian, Dystopian in current
literature refers to the postapocalyptic world in complete disorder, with the main
characters being at odds with
those in power. A good example would be The Hunger
Games. Local author Amy
Bartelloni is now releasing
the third in her series of Dystopian novels, “The Scorpio
Project.” Amy started writing when her first child took
his naps. Now when she isn’t
busy driving her children to
all their events, Amy is hard
at work writing down all the
stories that are waiting to get
written. Even though her
books were picked up by a
small publisher, for Amy it’s
more about the writing than
it is about the money and

Fuller Automotive: 100 years of treating customers like family
By Becky Harvey
AUBURN - After a year spent
celebrating its 100th anniversary serving customers in
the Worcester and surrounding areas, Fuller Automotive
isn’t resting on its laurels.
They still “work hard (to)
be good to people” every
day. Those are the words by
which the Fuller family has
built a comprehensive automotive enterprise that has
lasted so long. Now that the
celebration is complete, the
great-grandsons of the man
who started the business as
Fuller Garage, Willis Fuller,
“Our father’s
motto was
‘work hard
and be good
to people.’”
--Chris Fuller
are working hard to make
sure that customers have a
true “one-stop shop for all
their automotive needs,” according to Chris Fuller.
Fuller Automotive has ex-
panded greatly over the past
years. No longer is it just a
place to drop your buggy for
a few repairs, like folks did
back in the year 1914 - the
year Fuller Garage opened
and the year that the Boston
Braves won the World Series!
Now it is a place where you
can maintain your vehicle
with “no-appointment - necessary” speedy oil changes,
have regular service checks,
buy new tires and have them
properly installed, and have
collision repairs from small
dents and dings to those really pesky, nearly complete

losses.
Additionally, if your car
is beyond repair, mechanically or cosmetically, Fuller
now sells a great line of preowned cars that are inspected by their ASE technicians.
They’ve got ASE Master
and L1 mechanics, which
means their guys know their
stuff. They also have many
vehicle-make-specific scan
tools, which are not often
available in non-dealership
shops.
With Ford, GM,
Chrysler, Toyota and Honda
scan tools, a car’s codes can
be accurately diagnosed for
a proper fix.
Today, Fuller Automotive is
under the ownership of Chris
Fuller, a graduate of Assumption College, and his brother
Joshua, a Bentley College
grad. The brother team has
stayed tried and true to their
father’s, grandfather’s, and
great-grandfather’s visions.
“We think that it is of utmost
importance to offer reliable
and cost-effective services
to the drivers who come to
see us. We run all of our departments with one goal: to
earn the trust and respect of
our customers,” said Chris.
“Our father’s motto was
‘work hard and be good to
people.’”
Chris and Joshua are the
fourth generation in the Fuller family, which has spent
more than 100 years build-

ing a business that caters to
the diverse array of needs
that customers have when
it comes to their cars. “We

first stage of car ownership
to the last legs,” said Chris.
“We have a sales department
offering a fleet of every type
of car, a speedy oil change
department, full mechanical
repair service with 55 bays,
tire center, towing operation,
a state-of-the-art collision
center, and car rental - all

ship cycle.”
Recent additions to their
tire lines include Michelin,
a well-respected and very
well-known product with a
huge selection available and
a great track in safety. Fuller
has also added Hercules
Tires to their list. Hercules
is one of the last Americanmade, name-brand tires
available.
To keep customers informed, Fuller acquired AutoVitals, a web-connected
auto-app that lets customers
go online and view a video
display with audio of their
car (and its issue/problem,)
compared to a video of a
properly working car of the
same make and model. It allows technicians and service
representatives to more easily explain diagnosed problems to the car owner.
To maintain customer trust
and satisfaction, the brothers have implemented a
loyalty card program. Chris
explained that they would
rather have a program that
pays the customers to come
back than to pay for all kinds
of advertising. Different services have different “punch
values.” Once a customer
obtains twelve punches,
they save fifty dollars towards any service.
“Management and business
fads come and go, and businesses can follow the sales
tactic of the decade. But I
think none of that can outweigh simply caring about
people, and that has led to
our consistent success over
the years. And it applies to
all areas of life,” said Chris.
Fuller Automotive is located at 505 and 509 Washington Street (Rt. 20) in Auburn;
508-832-0900. The website
www.fullerautomotive.com
lists all of their services,
along with an interesting history of the family business.
Services can be scheduled

He also knows what it takes to be a success in a highly competitive industry.
Staying power? Come 2018, Mr. Rosborough will mark forty

Inventory? Approximately sixty vehicles in stock; “a fantastic

like a five years or 100,000-mile warranty.”
Reputation? A five-star rating on cars.com. Which is why
“people who do business with us love us,” Mr. Cahill says.
Service? One stop for everything from oil changes, tire rotations and tune-ups to inspections in a shop that features nine
bays and five lifts plus “the Hawkeye alignment system that
is the best on the market. Russ put a lot of dollars into capital
improvements” when he acquired the business from Nick Dee.
“We service everything we sell.”
Personnel? In Bob Brown, Mr. Rosborough boasts a veteran
service manager who is a holdover from the Nick Dee days
along with wrench men like Wayne Clarke, Mike Sabatinelli and
Jim Gosselin who, he says, “I am so thankful for. I have a good
team back there.” It doesn’t hurt either that “I’m friends with
every mechanic in the Valley,” Mr. Rosborough said. Among
them those who are close by who can be turned to in a pinch,
like Steve Bloem in Uxbridge and Dennis Menard in Linwood.
Out front at Uxbridge Auto the lineup is no less impressive.
GM Steve Berube and Josh Cahill are two of the best in the
game.
“Josh, he’s the biggest move I ever made,” Mr. Rosborough
said. “You can hire a Bic lighter or you can hire a flame thrower. I went out on a limb and hired a flame thrower” (Mr. Cahill
worked for Mr. Rosborough for several years before spending
a while with “new-car families” and then returning).
“Steve (Berube) has been with me forever (well, about sixteen years). He is the most honest salesperson in the state, in
the world. When he sells a car he wants it to be nicer than the
customer does. He came in once with $600 from a rental customer that was in a pocket that he could have left there.”
Location? With six full years at 187 N. Main St., Mr. Rosborough lays claim to a perfectly positioned dealership that is a
huge leap forward from the small operation he ran a mile or so
up the road (he actually began his career “at Dirienzo’s place,

where the Baptist church is now,” in ’78). “The first year here
was very difficult,” he said. “We were in a tough environment.
It progressed slowly. We had time though. We knocked down
walls, renovated, spruced up with new paint. Bob (Brown)
came with the place, Nick Dee did too for six months. Nick had
to go to the fuse back to turn the electric on. The problem was
a little on/off switch that I hired an electrician to fix for $75.
Nick was amazed. Just a little thing like that. I owe everything
to Nick.
He came up to see me and offered me the business. He wanted to lease it to me but I said ‘if I’m going to do it I’d like to buy
it.’ He helped me finance it.”
(Russ’ son Neil Rosborough manages a mostly gasoline and
service satellite site in Millville).
Mr. Rosborough has wanted nothing more than to be able “to
hold my head high” in the supermarket, in the restaurant, with
customers he sees here and there.
He can do so. Like Duke Snider, whose autographed Dodgers
jersey hangs in Mr. Rosborough’s office (“I got it at a golf tournament”), he has hit it out of the park time after time.

The Blessing Barn opens at former Mendon Country Gift Barn
Open
for
Business
By Melissa Dumont
The Mendon Country Gift
Barn is bustling once again.
The unique, attractive building, located on Route 16, is
now the home of a new The
Blessing Barn. It joins a sister store, The Blessing Barn
in Milford.
The Blessing Barn stores
operate under the auspices
of Compassion New England,
a Mendon-based non-profit
organization which exists
“to spread hope and love
throughout the community.
We believe that every person was created by God for
a purpose and is worthy of
a full, happy life.” Compassion New England programs
include GED preparation
classes, English as a Second
Language classes, the Celebrate Recovery program,
fuel assistance, a community
transportation program, and
weekly community lunches.
It is the charitable giving
arm of Mendon’s Bethany
Community Church.
The first Blessing Barn
was opened in Milford, at
146 South Main St. in the
Big Lots Plaza, in 2002. The
Mendon store had its grand
opening last month.
“We are constantly
amazed at the
beautiful things that
people donate to
The Blessing Barn.”
-- Christi Morais
The stores sell secondhand items that have been
donated by people in the
community. “We are constantly amazed at the beautiful things that people donate
to The Blessing Barn,” said
Christi Morais, creative director for the stores and for

Compassion New England.
“We are flooded with donations every day that our
amazing team sorts, cleans,
occasionally fixes, and prices. It is incredible to see all
of these unwanted items being given a second chance at
purpose. Our staff works tirelessly every day to serve our
customers. We rely heavily
on our amazing volunteers
and are always looking for
more who’d like to help.”
The Blessing Barn Home
Store carries a select amount
of clothing for children and
adults, but the bulk of their
products are home décor
items, furniture, vintage
items and antiques. Christi
tries very hard to present
the products in a beautiful,
organized way.
“We have also begun creating our own line of repurposed and/or refinished
products called “All Things
New,” she tells us. These
products range from accent
pillows made from donated
fabric to refinished furniture. “We also take custom

Both stores are open

– 6:00 p.m. Donations are accepted 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
The new Mendon store is
located at 5 Hastings Street,
Route 16. Check The Blessing Barn Facebook pages
to see what’s come in and
what’s on sale.
Intrigued? Why not visit
both stores, and find something beautiful for your
home, while helping others.
If you can find the time, why
not volunteer to ease the
work of all the others? You
just might find it a Blessing.

WCS Musician selected to
Massachusetts All-State music festival
Whitinsville Christian High School is pleased to announce Sarah Jarosz, vocalist, has been selected to participate in the 2015
Massachusetts Music Educators Association’s 60th All-State Music Festival, which will be held March 19-21 in Boston. Sarah, a
junior, is the daughter of Ms. Lynn Jarosz of Douglas.
The Massachusetts Music Educators Association sponsors the
music festival, and participation gives students an opportunity
to demonstrate their artistry and create new friendships. Sarah
was required to audition in late-January to qualify for her spot.
She was judged based on technical abilities and musicality in
singing a prepared piece of music and selected scales, as well
as in sight-reading.

Whitinsville Wellness Center: new year, new location
By Magda Dakin
The Spa at Whitinsville Wellness
Center last week celebrated the first
anniversary at its new location on
the second floor of the Milford Federal Savings Bank, 1271 Providence
Road, by hosting a huge Open
House event. If you’ve never been,
the spa’s surprisingly serene environment will relax you immediately. Spa owner Robin Allen said the
Open House was a way to honor her
customers and let them know
their loyalty is appreciated.
The Whitinsville Christian
School String Quartet performed for the event and set
a tone of soothing music even
before entering the spa. The
staff of massage therapists,
health coach, yoga instructors
and skin care consultants was
on hand to greet visitors and
offer them complementary

restrictions apply
mini-services to get acquainted with the spa’s features. It
was a great way for current
clients to step outside the
box and try new things too,
or perhaps get into the box
in the beautiful sauna room.
The infra-red sauna was on,
and visitors stood near it to
warm up from the freezing
temperatures outside.
Robin is trained in all areas
of the spa services she offers
and has maintained her own
long term customers during
her 15 years in the massage
and wellness industry. She
now also spends much of her
time managing the spa, utilizing all the skills she acquired
before being bitten by the holistic bug.
The staff includes four experienced massage therapists,
and one, Patricia, is also an
RN, offering some additional
services such as craniosacral therapy and targeted
therapy for such things as
fibromyalgia and restless leg
syndrome.
Short sessions of chair
massages and foot reflexology were offered at the Open
House, and clients were given
the opportunity to purchase
future sessions at special prices choosing from a menu of
therapeutic massages including Swedish massage, Deep
Tissue, Pregnancy Massage,
Hot Stone Massage, Couples,
Lomi Lomi and more. There
are even some more subtle
energy therapies available
like Reiki and Polarity sessions. The website has a full
description of all the available offerings.
Participants could also get
a free skin analysis with skin
screening from the licensed
esthetician, who offers a full
course of ’face saving’ treatments using Bioelements custom-blended products, which
are paraben-free, scent-free
and gluten-free.
The Open House also featured demonstrations on making healthy chocolate shakes
that included bananas, chia
seeds, spinach, vanilla and
Robin AllenT (left back) with the staff at Whitinsville Wellness Center.
almond milk. Samples of the
shake were enjoyed by the
attendees.
Meditation is offered several times a week and due
to popular request, yoga will
be back on the list soon. At
Robin’s previous location on
Church St., yoga was a popular class and she feels it will
complete the spa’s wellness
mission.
Whenever possible, Robin
says, she prefers to source
spa products locally and carries locally made soaps from
the Farmer’s Wife Handcrafted Soaps.
She also carries Ken Worchal’s raw honey products
during the winter months
when Foppema’s, which carries them, is closed.

you can still take advantage

warming effects of the infrared sauna with a free 15minute introductory session.
“We love what we do,” says
Robin,” And this is one of the
ways we show it.” She is also
pleased to announce that the
event raised $125 for the WCS
String Quartet.

BLACKSTONE - Jerome
“Jerry” Ryan, owner of the
Oscar J. Ryan Insurance
Agency, 132 Main St., recently received his Enrolled
Agent designation from the
Internal Revenue Service.
This is the highest credential
the IRS awards.
One can attain this by
passing three written examinations called Special
Enrollment Exams and then
applying to the IRS for the
designation where, at that
point, they complete an
extremely extensive background check and make
sure the candidate’s taxes
are current. The preparer
must have a special tax ID
number known as a PTIN on
file and active with the IRS
also.
“It is an honor and distinction to have ‘EA’ after my
name, said Mr. Ryan. “I’ve
been preparing tax returns
for 34 years and this will go
on to expand the scope of
my practice. I’m frequently
asked by friends and clients
what the three examinations
were like. They take into
account extremely detailed
aspects of tax law, rules,
regulations, practices and
procedures, mathematical
calculations, all types of
phasis on the ethics of
the business, representation of clients before
the IRS and much more.
Each exam covers a particular area: SEEI is individual tax returns, SEE2
is business returns and
SEE3 is ethics, standards
of practice, representation
of clients at reviews, conferences and audits, etc.”
The exams are 100 questions long of which the
passing score minimum is
105 points out of 130 points.
Some questions have more
point weight than others. Mr.
Ryan goes on to say, “What’s
nice about the way the exams are administered is that
you are told pass or fail immediately. I was extremely
fortunate to have passed
all three on the first try.
Two years ago I sat for the
IRS Registered Tax Return
Preparer Exam or RTRP for
short and passed that also
on the first try. Passing these
four exams on the first try is

K2 Automotive marks its first
anniversary with new owners
By Magda Dakin
DOUGLAS - If you’re in need of automobile repair service
and live in the Douglas area you don’t have to drive out of
town to get your work done. Conveniently located on Route
16 west of downtown Douglas, K2 Automotive is a full-service
auto repair shop. “We’ll get you back on the road!” says coowner Donna Morgan. She and her husband Dale just completed their first year as the proud owners of K2 Automotive.
Dale Morgan has been in the auto repair business for more
than 35 years and loves to get in there and fix whatever is
wrong. He began working at K2 four years ago and when
Kevin, the previous owner, decided to move south last year,
Dale Morgan (owner) and Brian Mosio (right) hard at work
getting the job done right in downtown Douglas.

BACK!
Payments as low as 50 per week.

Dale and his wife Donna decided it was time to take over
their own business. When Dale needed help in the garage
he reached out to Brian Mosio, an experienced mechanic
he had worked with at his previous job. Donna has a background in bookkeeping and accounting so it was a natural
for her to take over the books and let Dale and Brian concentrate on the things at which they are good.
K2 Automotive in Douglas (not Worcester) is a complete,
full-service repair shop. “It’s a one-stop shop, from routine
maintenance to alignments and brake jobs, we can do it,”
says Dale. And if they can’t fix it themselves, they have the
right contacts and associates to get the job done. Not only
can they fix whatever needs to be done, they also do it at a
reasonable price. “We know what it’s like to raise a family
and manage unexpected costs so we price our jobs fairly,”
says Donna.
Dale is enjoying his role as the owner of the shop instead
of just being a mechanic. “Owning the shop yourself gives
you more control so we are able to give top quality service
at better prices,” he said.
Dale and Donna live in Webster and make the short drive
to the shop daily. “We’re making new friends and keeping
long term K2 clients. It’s been a great year. We’re reaching
out more now to let people know that we’re here. “
Dale Morgan is an ASE Master Level Certified L1 Technician, something few technicians achieve and requires constant training to maintain. Brian is a Certified ASE Technician as well as a Master Subaru Technician.
K2 Automotive is a small shop with lots of personal attention; they know who you are and they know your car. Check
the website at www.k2autodouglas.com for customer loyalty
programs and new customer specials. K2 is at 3 Glen Street
(corner with Rt. 16); phone 508 476-9161 Open 8:00 a.m. to
5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The Yellow Pages is dying: now what?
By Keith Carpenter
there are no more than seven
local businesses that show
up on Page 1. These are the
listings labeled A through G.
However, chances are there
are more than seven similar
businesses in the area, right?
Well, where do all the other
similar businesses show up?
The answer is: Page 2 and
beyond. Unfortunately, 97%
of Google searchers do not
go past Page 1. In fact, Google
has reported that people
would rather run another
search than go to Page 2 to
see more results.
So how do you get your
vent of the internet and the
explosion of smart phones,
more and more people are
going online to find the products and services they want
and need.
In fact, according to Search
Engine Watch, 59% of consumers use Google every
month to find reputable local
businesses and that number
has been growing steadily
over the years.
But here’s the problem.
When you go to Google to
search for, say, a plumber,
electrician or any other local
service provider, you’ll notice
(Editor’s note: This month
we welcome new columnist
Keith Carpenter, who will
write about marketing ideas
for small businesses.)
Back in
the day, you
could start
a business,
run a full
page ad in
the Yellow
Pages, and
your phone
would ring all month long.
Not anymore. With the ad-

By optimize your Google Local Listing.
Now, if you’re not familiar
with Google Local Listings,
here’s how it works. Over
the years, Google has electronically scraped the web
and created a mini-website
for every business it can find
online. Unfortunately, many
of the business listings are
incomplete or incorrect and
must be fixed in order to get
the most from Google Local,
but how do you fix it?
You must go through a
process Google calls ‘claiming’ your listing. Once you
find your business listing in
Google, you will see a button

Letting go of road rage
If there was anything that could
enrage Christina Galeone, it would
be to see someone driving recklessly. “I’d get really angry about
that,” she says.
But there finally came a day
when she thought: “This time
I’m going to let it go. It is stupid to bring this rage forward
and have it affect other people
too.”
What followed was a poem
entitled “The Road Ahead.”
It invites forgiveness to replace the rage,
an action informed by her Christian faith, she says, which

N. GRAFTON - Community Harvest Project (CHP) announced that Jodi Koeman has been hired to lead the
organization through its next phase. Jodi is a resident of
Whitinsville and comes to CHP with decades of non-profit
management experience through the Oak Hill Community Development Corporation, Girls Incorporated, New
England Chapel, and World Renew. “We are thrilled to
welcome Jodi to Community Harvest Project during this
exciting time of organizational growth,” said Scott Rossiter, Volunteer Board President.
Community Harvest Project (CHP), a 501(c)3 organization, is dedicated to improving access to healthy foods
through community engagement. Through their volunteer farming, education, and leadership programs, they
bring thousands of community members together each
year to build an engaged and healthier Worcester County.
In 2014, thanks to over 9,800 volunteer visits, CHP grew
nearly 270,000 pounds of fruits and vegetables, which
were all donated to hunger relief though their valued
partners.

She entered
“The Road Ahead,” and it became
Chapter 101 in “Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Power of Forgiveness,” with the heading “A Poem that Says it All.”
“The Power of Forgiveness,” subtitled “101 Stories about
How to Let Go & Change Your Life,” was published in December.
This wasn’t the first time Christina Galeone’s name appeared in print, however.
A freelance writer by trade, her byline appears regularly in
the “Telegram & Gazette,” the “Community Advocate,” and
“The Catholic Free Press.” She writes on a variety of human
interest subjects. She names them: “Lots of people profiles,
non-profit organizations and events, some arts-related articles, emerging authors, and sometimes animals – dogs and
cats.” She also writes a monthly article for the inspirational/
religious website beliefnet.com.
Christina grew up in North Grafton, lived away, and then
moved back to Grafton several years ago.
Will we see more poems by Christina Galeone? Possibly,
she says. “When the mood strikes me.”

Urinary health and cats
By Dr. Kelly Wolfenson Guay
Everybody pees, right? Well, in cats (and some breeds of
dogs), problems can occur that can lead to life-threatening inability to urinate. Yikes! Cats are notoriously excellent hiders of
disease; else they would become prey instead of predator. Signs
that your kitty is having a urinary problem can
be very subtle, and you may be able to prevent
issues. The first thing to know is that if your pet
is unable to urinate, SEEK EMERGENCY CARE!
When urine cannot escape the body, it causes
kidney damage and sometimes-fatal electrolyte
imbalances in the body. Plus, it’s painful.
Why does this happen? Urinary obstruction,
or blockage, typically occurs in male cats ages 5
and up. Believe it or not, what your cat eats influences the health of his urinary tract due to subtle changes
in
pH. It is normal for some minerals to wash through the urinary
system, but when the pH of the urine is more acidic or more alkaline, these minerals (including calcium and phosphates, typically) can sediment out of the urine and clog up the pipes, so
to speak. Cats’ narrow urethras (tube from the bladder to the
outside world) are easily plugged with accumulations of these
mineral crystals or mucus. Urinary tract infection, from bacteria, can increase the risk of crystals forming. In addition, as if
that wasn’t enough, inflammation from straining to urinate can
further narrow the already (less than 1 mm in diameter) narrow
urethra.
Sounds grim, right? Well, cats can give us subtle clues that
they are having problems. One very common symptom, one I
have heard described by cat owners numerous times, is the cat
is suddenly urinating in the bathtub or sink. My theory is that
this is how kitty is getting our attention, since discolored urine
is very difficult to detect in the normal litter box. Same goes
for dogs in the winter- you can detect abnormally colored urine
better in the snow. Increased frequency of urination, straining
or pain on urination, discolored urine, or NO urine production
can all be signs of a problem. Many cat owners with fully obstructed cats have mentioned to me that their cat seemed painful
when they picked it up. Abdominal pain definitely goes along
with a swollen, enlarged, painful bladder your pet is unable to
empty. Plenty of pets are also noticed licking their genitals more

frequently.
Oh my gosh! What do I do now? Get your pet to a vet ASAP
if painful and unable to urinate. Discolored urine deserves a
prompt (within 24 hours) visit as well. Your vet will attempt to
get a urine sample in a variety of possible ways; a sterile sample
is preferred in the event a bacterial culture and antibiotic sensitivity test needs to be run. Urine samples
will be centrifuged and your vet or veterinary technician will check for bacteria, mineral crystals, signs of
kidney disease, inflammation, cancer, and diabetes.
Sometimes it is not possible to detect a color change
in urine with the naked eye, but on standard testing
strips, even trace amounts of blood can be measured.
If your cat is fully obstructed in his urethra, he will
need to have his blood levels of electrolytes and kidney function analyzed. Typically, sedation or anesthesia is required for your vet to pass a small urinary catheter to remove
urethral plugs and flush out the urinary path. This may need to
be left in for a few days while healing begins and inflammation
subsides. Antibiotics and pain medication are common, but if
the bladder or urethra are damaged or stretched, other medications may be required.
If it is a bacterial infection, antibiotics are commonly given. If a
suspected behavior problem or sterile inflammation, sometimes
behavioral drugs like Elavil are used. It is also often recommended to begin feeding the cat a prescription medical urinary
diet to help prevent future crystals from reforming.
To help prevent a problem, feed the recommended food, supply plenty of fresh water, and change litter frequently. If your
kitty has trouble cleaning feces from his back end, you may use
wet paper towels or baby wipes to help in removing debris. Cat
fountains are a clever way to encourage cats to drink. Rumors
of “low ash” food or certain flavors (like seafood) of cat food affecting urinary health are unsubstantiated. Listen to your pets,
they are telling you more than you realize!

Hi, my name is Sage. I am a 2 year old female Corgi mix.
I was rescued down south from a high kill shelter with my
sister, Gypsy. We like everyone we meet. My tail never
stops wagging until I get a belly rub, I’ll lay nice and quiet
for that anytime! We are both just so happy to be looking
for a forever home in a nice safe place. We both may not
be good with kitties because of our breed but seem good
with people of all ages. I am spayed and ready to find my
forever friends. My sister, Gypsy, was adopted already and
I am waiting my turn! People interested but no home as of
yet. Please come by and meet me if interested in making
me a part of your life!

There is a tombstone that
sits ominously in the living
room. It is the stone marker
of Nancy Barden who died
in 1778 at the edge of the
property while pursuing her
disloyal betrothed. The inn
boasts thirteen lavishly spacious guest rooms, each with
its own fireplace and private
bath. The amenities and
scenic vistas are enough to
make a person want to stay
forever. It seems Nancy has.
Nancy Barden was a servant girl working for a Colonel Whipple in Lancaster.
There was another man
working for the colonel as
well. Nancy and the man fell
in love and were to marry.
Here is where the story takes
on two versions. One version is that Nancy went into
town to buy some wedding
clothes. During her absence,
the man took the wedding
dowry and ran off. The other
version states that for some
reason, the colonel strongly
objected to their marriage
and sent the man to another
farm.
Either way, Nancy came
home to find her lover gone.
She set out on foot through
the notch in search of her
betrothed. She came across
a campfire and assumed it
was the man who spurned
her who had been camping
there so she continued on.
She came upon the property
of the present Notchland,
where she fell into the icy
stream and froze to death.
She was buried near the
brook and pond that now
bears her name. It is but a
few minutes’ stroll down a
path to the cairn of rocks
that marks her final resting
place. There is a stone that
also tells the story at the
inn. On the stone
reads the inscription,
“NANCY,
WHO DIED IN
PURSUIT OF HER
FAITHLESS LOVER.” This is the
marker that guests
can glimpse upon
entering the inn.
Hart’s Location
may be the smallest settlement in
the state but it
does have at least
one ghost, which
is more than most
other places can boast.

This new house
After the framing, a siding surprise
By Heidi and Peter Ruiz
Editor’s note: This is the fifth
in a series of columns by Heidi and Peter Ruiz, who are
chronicling the building of
their new house in Douglas.
To read previous columns, go
to www.yankeeshopper.net.
Boy did I speak too soon!
Last month I said Mother
Nature was cooperating with
us and wrote about how
the mild start to winter was
working in our favor. The
Blizzard sure did put an end
to that - the mild winter that
is. Our progress, surprisingly, was hardly impacted
by the Blizzard. Pete’s poor
arms and back…well, those
are a different story.
As pleasurable as it was to
clear three feet of snow from
one driveway, it was even
more exciting clearing it
from two driveways, as well
as unbury supplies and clear
all the snow from around the
house...in the early morning
hours…before heading to
work…numerous times during our record setting snow
accumulation week…ok, I’m
making it sound way worse
than it was. Or, maybe not.
I wouldn’t actually know,
because I was at home with
our son and didn’t do any of
it. (One of the few ‘perks’ of
being 38- weeks pregnant!)
During the past month,
snow storms and all, a lot
has happened with our
house. Our humble abode
has grown from only foundation walls to a fully-framed
house and garage, with windows and doors, a finished
roof, vinyl siding installed,
and basement slab poured.
Not only was most all of this
done this month, most was
done before the Blizzard hit.
Getting the house weathertight and pouring the basement slab were crucial to
our schedule. We will have
finished living space in our
basement, so if that had
not happened, our framers wouldn’t have been
able to finish the interior.
No framed walls means no
HVAC, electrical, etc. Fortunately, it took only days for
the crew to frame the house,
allowing us to heat the basement ground to get the slabs
poured. For a small fee, we
rented ‘blankets’ from our
foundation contractor to lie
down to do this. The blankets are basically very thick
tarps which seal in warmth,
keeping the ground from
freezing. In our case, that’s
all that was needed. In other instances, you might also
need to run a heater for a
few hours or overnight.
As if getting this far in our
progress in only a couple
of weeks wasn’t impressive enough…on the way to
work the day after the Blizzard, Pete received a phone
call from our framers asking if our lot was cleared at
all. Pete explained to them
that he was able to plow the
“driveway” and make a few
passes with the snow blower
before time ran out and he
had to head to work. This
status was good enough for
them as all the other properties they were working on
still hadn’t been plowed at
that time in the morning (my
guess is because of the travel
ban on Tuesday). So, armed
with shovels, our framing
contractors went to work at
our house. And so did our
siding contractors.
Even though Mother Nature
dumped a ton of snow on us,
Father Wind drifted most of
it away from the house. The
framers did have to dig out
some of the supplies from
under the snow, but at least
they were able to get around
without having to clear too
much more than that. Pete
and I were so relieved to
hear this, though I’m sure
not as relieved as they were
to not have to shovel as
much as expected.
With so much happening at
the house, especially the addition of the siding, Pete and
I couldn’t wait to go see what
it looked like! Pete usually
stops by the house almost
every morning and evening
to see the progress. I don’t,
but sometimes I’ll drive by
during the day if I’m out running errands.
A few weeks ago, Pete and I
agreed that if something major changed with the house,
we would go to see the progress together. So one night,
after work, we went to see the
siding. Our advice: Don’t go
look at dusk after work. That
evening, when we pulled in,
we were both silent. Finally
I said “Hmmm.” Pete replied with “Um, it’s grey.” I
agreed with Pete – It really
did look grey. This wouldn’t
have been a bad thing if we
ordered grey siding, but we
didn’t. We ordered a soft
green colored siding called
“soft willow.” Here’s what
we should have done: Gone
back in the morning, when
the sun was shining and saw
It’s a busy place during the day!
was beautiful! It still wasn’t
exactly what I remembered,
but it was definitely not grey
either. It’s amazing how
different a color can look
in mass quantity versus a
small color chip. Also, the
weather conditions, different
light bulbs in the store and
at home, snow covered yard
versus pretty green grass all can change the look. So
be prepared for what you
might see. Pete actually
came from the site a little
bit ago carrying in a piece of
scrap siding from the trash.
We looked at it, sitting on
the couch under the lamp as
we had the night we picked
out the color. Wouldn’t you
know? It looked exactly like
what we remembered.

that it was, in fact, the color
we ordered and it looked really nice. What we actually
did: Panicked! We spent the
night looking online at the
siding colors to see if we had
ordered the wrong color,
pulled apart the couch looking for the color chip we
remembered our son losing
down the cushions weeks
prior. We even went as far as
pricing out the cost of changing the siding on the front of
the house. Looking back,
we may have slightly overreacted!
The next morning, I decided to take a drive by the
house to have another look,
mostly to convince myself
the grey would be okay. I
was pleasantly surprised to
see the siding had the green
hue to it like we wanted. It
