DOVER-FOXCROFT - Ground was officially broken on Foxcroft
Academy’s Mary Kammerer Fittig Humanities Wing on the morning
of April 8, and construction is now firmly under way. The wing, which
was designed by Merriam Architects of Rockland and is being built by
E.W. Littlefield & Sons of Hartland, is set to be completed by August
15 and will be fully-functional for the start of the 2015-2016 academic
year.
The Mary Kammerer Fittig Humanities Wing will add two stateof-the-art classrooms while connecting Foxcroft Academy’s main academic building to its detached Industrial and Fine Arts building,
creating an interconnected academic complex and tightening campus
security significantly. The new classrooms will be designed as 21stcentury learning spaces, with an emphasis on student-centered learning, teacher collaboration, and technology integration.
Mary Kammerer Fittig, a retired educator who spent 29 years as an
elementary school teacher in the inner city of New York, jump-started
the wing’s capital campaign with a $200,000 naming gift earlier this
year. Those interested in learning about other naming opportunities for this project may contact Foxcroft Academy Assistant Head
of School for External Affairs Chris McGary at 564-8351 or [email protected].

DOVER-FOXCROFT - This year marks the 21st Variety Show to
benefit volunteer hospice services provided to 39 towns in our area.
Since 1985 Pine Tree Hospice has been supporting individuals and
families living with life-limiting illness. Volunteer hospices rely on
the generosity of the community since they receive no funding from
government or insurance sources. The Variety Show is an important
fundraiser each year, and draws a large audience of all ages. The program offers something for everyone.
The Variety Show will be held at the Center Theatre in DoverFoxcroft on Friday, April 24th at 7:00 P.M. The program will include
instrumental and vocal music, drama, and the “Parade of Sponsors”
featuring children from the community. Dan Sharrow and Rev. Chad
Poland will host the show. The Monson Jammers will be playing in
the lobby before the event. During the intermission there will be a
drawing for the annual quilt raffle. Refreshments will be available
by donation.
Tickets are available by donation at the Pine Tree Hospice office or
at the door.
Mark your calendars and come support the talents of many community members.

East Sangerville Coffee House season wraps with Old Blues Kats
SANGERVILLE - The house will be rockin’ at the East Sangerville Grange on Saturday, May 2 when
DW Gill and Doug Wainoris – known better as The Old Blues Kats – hit the stage for the last show of the
season.
Doug and DW started playing together in the 70s, heavily influenced by Chicago-style performers like
Muddy Waters. During the 80’s and 90’s the combo started creating their own compositions and arrangements while still maintaining the authentic sound and feel of the original blues masters. They have
opened concerts for blues greats Stevie Ray Vaughn and BB King and have played at the renowned
New Orleans Jazz and Heritage
Festival.
Tickets for the May 2 show
are available at the door and in

Senator Davis’ bill would
encourage doctors to practice in rural areas
AUGUSTA – State Senator Paul Davis (R-Piscataquis) has introduced a bill to the Maine Legislature that would provide tax incentives to doctors who practice in rural Maine.
The bill, LD 740 “An Act To Sustain Maine’s Primary Care Professional Workforce,” had a public hearing this week before the Legislature’s Taxation Committee.
Last year, the Legislature passed a bill that provides income tax
credits to primary care physicians who practice in areas where there
is a shortage of doctors or patients need to travel long distances for
appointments.
Under the current law, doctors in rural areas receive tax credits of
$6,000 for the first year of eligibility, increasing yearly to $18,000 the
fifth year. After that, the income tax credit ends.
LD 740 extends those tax breaks from new doctors to those who are
already practicing in rural areas.
“This has been a terrific program that gives incentives to doctors

Veterinarians offer tips for keeping pets happy and healthy
by Sheila Grant
Special to The Eastern Gazette
NEWPORT - Providing the
right food, habitat, exercise, and
healthcare, as well as knowing
what to do in an emergency, can
keep companion animals happy
and healthy.
“Generally, you get what
you pay for with pet food,” said
Dave Larkin, DVM, of Moosehead Trail Veterinary Hospital in
Newport, who believes in balancing food more than paying attention to what’s in it. “Some people
pick the food with the most protein. The problem is that doesn’t
account for how much of the
protein is digestible. Generally,
higher-quality foods are more digestible.”
And just as having too few
nutrients could be harmful for a
growing kitten or puppy, having
too much of some nutrients can
be detrimental to older pets with
poor liver or kidney function.
Too avoid high levels of protein,
calcium, and phosphorus, a prescription food for senior pets may
be best.
Vaccinations are key to pet
health, as well. Dogs and cats
need rabies and distemper vaccinations. Dog owners should also
consider a shot to guard against
leptospirosis, a bacteria that
dogs can come in contact with in
water or via wild animals (such
as chasing mice or rats), that
can cause liver and kidney damage -- and can be transmitted to
humans. “It’s hard to diagnose,”
said Larkin. “Unless the dog is
never outside, I think the dog
should have this vaccine.”
Other vaccines that dog owners may opt to have administered
include kennel cough, which, “we
recommend for dogs that will be
around other dogs outside the
home, in doggie daycare, during
puppy training, at the groomer,
or even at the dog park,” Larkin
said. Another is for canine flu,
especially for pets traveling outside of Maine.
For dogs that spend a great
deal of time outdoors, especially
in wooded areas, a vaccination
against Lyme disease is also
recommended. “It’s important to
remember that ticks can carry
other diseases, as well, so folks
should use a good tick control
product,” said Larkin.
Another vaccination for cat
owners to consider if their pets
go outdoors is feline leukemia.
“What we are doing now for feline leukemia is vaccinating all
kittens, just because people don’t
always know if it will go outdoors
or escape and cats less than a
year of age are more susceptible,”
Larkin explained. “If the cat is
over a year old and does not go
outdoors, I don’t think they need
it.”
Parasite control is also impor-
tant. “Ticks spread disease, and
fleas can transmit tape worms,
or trigger allergies and skin
problems,” Larkin said. “A significant flea burden can slowly exsanguinate a dog or a cat.” Many
flea and tick deterrents can be
applied to the skin of the pet, or
taken orally. Veterinarians are
starting to see some resistance to
flea and tick products that have
been around for a while, he said,
so choosing a newer product may
be more effective.
“Intestinal worms can be acquired through normal foraging behaviors outside and in the
grass, or they get on the animal’s skin and are then ingested
through grooming,” said Larkin.
Symptoms include stomach upset, vomiting, loose stool, possible bloody stool, weight loss in
an adult dog or failure to gain
weight in a puppy, poor appetite,
and sometimes worms are visible
in vomit.
“Heartworms live in the bloodstream and cause problems with
both dogs and cats,” Larkin said.
Heartworms are transmitted by
mosquitoes, and are not as common a problem in this region of
Maine as elsewhere, but, “I have
diagnosed it in dogs that have
never left the state,” he said.
Getting a pet screened annually
is important, and before administering any heartworm deterrent, which could cause a serious
reaction in an animal already
infected. Once pets are infected,
treatment of heartworms is both
costly and a cause of many side
effects, Larkin said.
Symptoms of heartworms in
dogs include those similar to
heart failure, such as coughing
and exercise intolerance. In cats,
symptoms may resemble asth-
ma. Cats can become symptomatic with just one worm, while in
various sizes and breeds of dogs,
it can take several worms to hundreds of them. There is no reliable annual test for heartworms
in cats.
Just like humans, pets need
physical and mental exercise to
stay fit and happy. With dogs,
the amount and type of exercise
needed depend on breed. “I don’t
recommend people let dogs freeroam,” noted Larkin. “There’s always that chance they are going
to get into trouble, get lost, run
into a wild animal, or get into the
road and get hit. It’s important to
have some kind of containment.”
Most felines can find enough
play and mental stimulation
with a few toys and some vertical
integration such as a cat tower.
Something often overlooked
is dental health. “Eighty percent of the animals we see here
overall have some level of dental disease,” said Larkin. “We
know for a fact that if the mouth
is infected and diseased, it is
hard on the whole system. The
animal is fighting infection on
a constant basis, and there is a
risk of it getting into the bloodstream and affecting the organs.
In an older dog when we have to
take out most of the teeth, they
actually feel better once they’ve
healed up. I’ve had clients say
they don’t’ know what they will
do with all of the dog’s newfound
energy!”
Owners can do dental home
care, “the best of which is brushing the teeth once a day, assuming the pet will allow it,” Larkin
said. If not, there are chew toys
and water additives that promote dental health. “At some
point most pets get to the point
that they need a dental cleaning
to halt or reverse dental disease.
We do that. Dogs and cats require
general anesthesia because they
have to be immobilized for us to
do an effective job.”
As pets age, there are additional considerations, such as
pain management, and liver and
kidney function. Changes in food
and water consumption, activity
level, and new skin problems are
all worth investigation. Often, a
change of diet and/or prescription medications are available
to make your aging pet more
comfortable and healthy, Larkin
said.

Spaying and neutering contribute to pet health
by Sheila Grant
Special to The Eastern Gazette
PENQUIS AREA - While the
main concern is reducing the
number of cats and dogs in shelters, proponents of spaying and
neutering note that there are
many health benefits for pets,
and programs to help pet owners
afford the procedures.
“The health benefits are different for males and females,” said
Dave Larkin, DVM, of Moosehead Trail Veterinary Hospital
in Newport. “If an animal is not
going to be bred, the current
wisdom is that it’s best to spay
females before the first heat cycle, the reason being that older
un-spayed females have more estrogen and are at risk of getting
mammary tumors.” Larkin said
he has never seen this condition
in a pet that was spayed before
its first heat cycle.
“Another risk is pyometra, a
massive infection of the uterus
that is life threatening and requires emergency surgery,” Larkin said. “That usually happens
when a pet is older.” Six months
of age is a convenient time to get
pets spayed prior to the first heat
cycle, he said.
While the medical benefits of
neutering male animals are less
compelling, there are some, and
the procedure helps with behavior issues. “A lot of it is curtailing
roaming behavior,” Larkin said.
A male dog looking for receptive
females may leave the yard and
be at increased risk for getting
lost, being hit by cars, or fighting
with wildlife or other pets. During his work in an emergency
care clinic for pets, “I did see a
lot of dog versus car and cat versus car and 80 percent of those
were intact male dogs,” said Larkin. Additionally, male pets can’t
get testicular cancer, and neutered dogs do not get prostatitus,
which can cause problems with
urination and defecation, and
once developed, “the only effective treatment is to neuter them
at that point,” he said.
Perhaps the most compelling
reason is overpopulation, however. “The bottom line is that we
don’t need any more cats and
dogs,” said Mary Shapleigh of the
nonprofit organization P.E.T.S.
(Prevent Euthanasia Through
Sterilization) in Dover-Foxcroft.
“Shelters are overloaded because
there are not enough homes, and
this is the reason animals, espe-

cially cats, get dumped.”
There are resources available for low-income pet owners
to make spaying and neutering more affordable. One is the
statewide Help Fix ME program,
which provides vouchers from
the state to have cats operated
on for $10, and pit bull or pit mix
dogs for $20. “It takes about a
month to get the voucher, so people don’t want to procrastinate if
their pet is reaching maturity,”
Shapleigh said. Call 1-800-3671317 for more information on
Help Fix ME.
The Cleo Fund also provides
spay/neuter vouchers based on
income.” Rates vary by region,
with cats costing between $20
and $33; $50 for dogs less than
75 pounds and $60 for larger
dogs. Occasionally, special campaigns are offered during which
cats can be spayed/neutered for
as little as $5. Purebred, designer, and purchased dogs are
excluded from the program, with
the exception of pit bulls. The
animals also get a rabies vaccine during the visit. There is no
income requirement for people
seeking spay/neuter vouchers for
feral cats. There is only one clinic, in Freeport, that accepts the
Cleo vouchers, but P.E.T.S. does
provide transportation for local animals on designated days,
Shapleigh said.
Owners can also transport
their own pets directly to the
Community Spay/Neuter Clinic
in Freeport. “Their number is
865-0772, and Dr. Stone has
spayed and neutered over 18,000
pets in the four-and-a-half years
she’s been open,” said Shapleigh.
Call 773-6221 for more information about the Cleo Fund.
Additionally, people receiving
financial assistance from the
state can bring proof of that to
the Bangor Humane Society to
receive a voucher toward spay/
neuter costs. “They should call
their veterinarian’s office to be
sure their vet accepts that voucher, and to find out how much they
have to pay beyond what the
voucher covers,” Shapleigh said.
P.E.T.S., which has been working in this region since 1991, also
offers a reduced-cost spay/neuter program. The all-volunteer
group does raises its own funds
through yard sales, plant sales,
wreath sales, and its annual lasagna dinner, scheduled from 4
to 6 p.m. on Saturday, April 25
at the Congregational Church
in Dover-Foxcroft. The menu includes a variety of lasagnas, salad, beverages, and desserts. The
cost is $6.50 for adults; $3.25 for
children under age 12. All proceeds assist with spaying/neutering of companion animals.
“We do apply for grants, but
we don’t always get them because we’re a small organization,” Shapleigh said. The organization could use donated,
gently-used animal crates -- and
money. “Everything helps, even
a dollar or two. And if anyone
wants to sponsor a cat or dog,
they can earmark their donation
to go just toward that.”
Donations may be mailed to
P.E.T.S., P.O. Box 912, Guilford,
ME 04443. For more information about P.E.T.S., call Shapleigh at 564-8092 or visit http://

REPAIRING FENCE is a frequent activity for horse owners. (Grant photo)
Horses require more commitment than many pets
by Sheila Grant
Special to The Eastern Gazette
DOVER-FOXCROFT - Horseback riding can be a terrific hobby, calorie burner, stress reliever,
social activity, and a skill that
provides a lifetime of enjoyment,
an educational edge for college
students in animal-related fields,
and even lucrative employment
for young people who learn to
give lessons, ride boarded horses
for busy owners, and house/horse
sit when owners are away, said
Gail McCormack, owner of Infinity Farm in Dover-Foxcroft.
McCormack, 50, has been involved with horses since age 10
and has owned them since her
early 20s. Infinity Farm boards
and trains horses and people of
all ages, and in all disciplines, including English, Western, jumping, and dressage for all skill
levels. The farm has a working
student program that allows students to pay cash for some lessons while earning others by doing chores. A large indoor riding
rink allows students to practice
year-round.
Owning a horse, which can live
to age 35 and beyond, is a 24/7,
365 commitment, McCormack
said. Day-to-day care includes
feeding, watering, brushing,
turning the horses in and out,
as well as stall, barn and fence
maintenance.
Horses need between five and
20 gallons of fresh water every
day, and in winter, water must be
thawed or ice must be chopped
through. “A lot of people find that
horses get colic because they are
not getting enough water,” McCormack said. “And we feed hay
24/7 here. It is always available
because horses are grazers made
for a lot of little feedings rather
than one big one.” A horse can
eat 50 pounds, about one bale, of
hay daily. Some horses are also
given grains to help with weight
gain and stamina. A bale of hay
can cost $4 and up. To avoid illness, the hay must be good quality and free of mold.
Not every horse needs shoes,
but they do need hoof care on a

Business is doggone good for Guilford couple
by Sheila Grant
Special to The Eastern Gazette
DOVER-FOXCROFT - Listening to that tiny voice that tells us
to follow a dream can sometimes
pay off. Just ask Cynthia Scott,
who gave up her job as executive
director of Pine Tree Hospice to
open a doggie daycare on January 1, 2010. During the five years
since, Cynthia’s husband Russell
has been able to retire after 35
years with the Maine Department of Conservation to help run
the business, and Fresh Air Dogs
has had only 11 days in all that
time that canine guests weren’t
visiting. The business has provided several part-time jobs over
the years, and has supported other pet-related services, including the Fairfield-based mobile
dog grooming service Primp My
Paws, which comes to the doggie
daycare to work with guests on a
regular basis.
Fresh Air Dogs, a state licensed and insured doggy daycare, is “a place for dogs to do
what dogs like to do and get lots
of pampering, too.” Daily pack
walks, swims, games of fetch and
more, under the Scott’s supervision, are all part of the Fresh Air
Dogs experience.
“And in May of 2012 we hired
our first employee. We have had
more since, to help with cleaning,
office work, that kind of thing.”
The Scott’s first employee, Carol
Morin, of Sebec, still works at
Fresh Air Dogs, and provides
much of the activity and supervision to keep canine guests busy,
happy and safe.
“Russell and I have always
been animal lovers,” Cynthia
Scott said. “When we got our
first dog I don’t think we’d been
married more than a couple of
weeks.” The couple has decades
of experience caring for, and
training, canines.
The Scotts got to know the
owners of Four K’s Golden Kennels near their former home
in Farmington, and eventually
began assisting with dog obedience classes. When the Four K’s
owners moved in 1983, the Scotts
took over and became Good News
Dog Obedience. Training and socialization are still important aspects of their work.
“If your dog is trained you
have control and you can take
your dog more places; people will
welcome you bringing your dog
more places if it is well behaved,”
Scott said. Putting in the time to
train a pet with consistent
commands
and maintain that
training pays off. “I
think all dogs want to
please their owners.”
Since
retiring,
Russell Scott has
completed two dogtraining internships
with Pat Miller of
Peaceable Paws in
Maryland,
specializing on positive reinforcement, behavior modification and
helping fearful dogs.
He offers evening
classes through the
Piscataquis
Valley
Adult Education Cooperative, beginning
a new series every
couple of months, or
whenever there are
enough names on the
waiting list.
“One thing that
makes us unique is
that because we are
trainers, the dogs
can’t
help
being
trained every single
day,” Cynthia Scott
said. “They have to
sit before we open the
door, before they get
a treat. Some come
here already well behaved; some are just
puppies. We expect
the same things out
of them and work
with them. They are
constantly having to
learn what I call petiquette.”
Scott said it is very

PhoDOGraphy: the love of pets and pictures combined
by Sheila Grant
Special to The Eastern Gazette
DEXTER - Diane Parola of
Dexter has loved photography
since her stint on the yearbook
committee in high school. After graduation, she did some
freelance photography for local
newspapers, but it remained
mostly a hobby.
“I have done a few weddings
for friends and family, sporting
events and church functions,”
she said, “but I hadn’t thought
about getting into it as a business. There are a lot of photographers out there and my work
didn’t stand out.”
Also, Parola said she was never really comfortable posing human subjects, and she was hesitant to pursue a second job that
would consume weekends on top
of her full-time employment with
Maine Highlands Federal Credit
Union. But when the family took
in a buff-colored cocker spaniel
named Trooper two decades ago
who loved to have his picture
taken, Parola’s interest in photography was reawakened.
“He was a great dog,” she
said. “I would say Trooper got
me started with the idea of photographing dogs. I temporarily gave up on the idea when
Trooper died because I had convinced myself it sounded a bit
silly. Then, when we got Cali, our
black and white Springer spaniel
in 2007, I got the itch again.”
Cali, however, ran in the opposite direction whenever she
saw the camera. Instead, Parola
asked coworkers to bring their
dogs to her basement studio as
practice subjects. Calidoodle
PhoDOGraphy has since grown
through word-of-mouth advertising. Parola recently launched
a new website and hired an assistant. Like many home businesses owners in this region,
Parola struggles with slow Internet service. “I don’t have a lot of
pics on there yet because uploading from my house is extremely
slow,” she said. “I just have to
go to a friend’s house for this,
or somewhere with free Wi-Fi.”
Customers can purchase photos
directly from the site once they
have been uploaded.
“I have an assistant, Ramona
Flint, who has been a valuable
part of these sessions,” Parola
said. “She loves dogs as much
as I do, and can get them settled
down where I need them.
“I’ve learned a lot and found
that I much prefer to pose dogs
than people,” she continued. “I
have been asked to take pictures
of people’s children with their
dog and I will say ‘Sorry, I don’t
do people.’ A regular photographer can do that.”
Some of Parola’s tips for DIY
pet photographers include getting down on the dog’s level,
make silly noises, and be ready
to snap those pictures quickly!
“I have found that dogs respond to sounds differently,” she
said. “Some will give me that
cute little tip of the head while
others just perk up their ears. Either way, I am ready with a quick
click of my camera – or rather,
several clicks!”
Parola, a self-described perfectionist, takes a lot of pictures.
“I am sensitive to the amount
of time I spend ‘bothering’ dogs,
though,” she said. “I can tell
when they just aren’t interested
anymore and will give them a
break.”
When Fresh Air Dogs
doggie daycare opened
in Guilford [see Business
is doggone good for Guilford Couple, page 14],
Parola couldn’t resist the
pull of so many pooches
in one place. “Cynthia
Scott of Fresh Air Dogs
invited me to set up my
studio in her garage a
couple of times. This provided a wide range of dog
breeds to work with."
At her own home studio, Parola has backgrounds of various colors
and props to use with her
canine subjects. “Also, I
have recently purchased
new lighting that has
been a huge help,” she
said.
“I need a fairly big
space to set up and it
isn’t always easy to get
this,” Parola said. “I have
done a couple of sessions
at All Breed Groom and
Board [in Sebec] recently. I would love to find a
space in Dexter or DoverFoxcroft to use for a day. I
have also set up at Paws
on Parade in Bangor, and
will definitely do that
again. That was fun!”
Each work environment presents its own set
of challenges, but Parola
prefers studio photography. Another challenge
is photographing two
or more dogs together,
which takes a lot of patience and owner assistance.
“Once when trying
different noises to get a
group of five dogs’ attention all at the same time,
I decided to meow like a
cat,” she said. “Bad idea!
They all came at me at
once!”
Regardless of the challenges, Parola loves doing
canine photography.
“A lot of people that
feel their dog is like
a member of the family,” she said, “and who
doesn’t want pictures of
their family?”
