NCNE Fall Draft Tests October 26 & 27, 2019 Camp Wind in the Pines, Leicester, MA NEW Beginner Draft Dog Division
All 3 divisions offered: Beginner Draft Dog, Draft Dog, Draft Dog Excellent Judges: Sue Mendleson and Lanelle Warrick Test Chairs: Sue Marino & Donna Thibault Test Secretary: Brenda Miele Soares Volunteers needed!
New NCA Beginner Draft Dog Test and Title by Sue Marino The NCA board recently approved a new draft test division for beginners that will take place on July 1, 2019. The Beginner Draft Dog test was developed to encourage people to train for draft tests while still having their dog on leash. If an entrant passes this test their dog will earn a Beginner Draft Dog title or BDD. The entire test is done on a loose leash. The leash is not intended to be used to control the dog but for handler confidence and dog safety. The handler is still expected to guide their dog through the test using voice and hand signals. Most of the test is exactly like the Draft Dog test with the following minor differences. During Basic Control the recall will be done on a 15 foot leash provided by the test giving club. During Harnessing and Hitching the dog will be next to the cart for harnessing and does not have to back. For the Maneuvering Course all obstacles will be the same as Draft Dog but narrow areas and 90 degree turns will be wider. The Removable Obstacle will not have to be returned after moving it. The 3 foot back up in cart will be allowed 45 seconds to complete. Four bumps will be allowed on the course. Instead of the Draft Dog Out of Site Stay the Beginners will do a one minute group stay in cart but handlers will be a the end of their 6 foot leash. Less weight will be required, a 2 wheeled cart must carry 10 to 20 lb of weight. The Freight Haul will be done in groups of up to 6, on leash, but only for ½ mile. The BDD title is not required to enter the Draft Dog division. Dogs that already have a Draft Dog title may enter the Beginner Division but only if all untitled dogs have gotten into the test (similar to a requalification). Regional clubs will not be required to offer the Beginner division, it is optional, the same as with the Advanced division. Also, as of July 1, 2019 all 3 divisions will be one test and in one set of regulations. The New England Draft Test on October 26 and 27 will be offering all 3 divisions.

NCNE 50th Anniversary Celebration Cont’d Joanne Brainard and Tami Palomba, NCNE Historian, spent hours sifting through decades of NCNE memorabilia and presented a telling story of the history of our club and the Newfoundland dog in New England. The History Wall, which will now travel to all upcoming events that the NCNE sponsors, is a telltale sign of this club’s dedication to the breed. Memorabilia over the past 50 years included articles, ribbons, National Specialty collections, special presentations and pictures and documents of dogs throughout the decades. The History Wall is quite a compilation of everything NCNE. It is something that the novice as well as the seasoned Newfoundland lover gushed over. The care and preservation of these timeless items is very evident with things including many collectibles such as buttons, pins and ribbons that are now part of the History Wall. We even designed a special anniversary logo.

Newfoundland Club of New England At Chelmsford Radisson 10 Independence Dr, Chelmsford, MA Board of Directors Meeting Sunday, April 7, 2019 10AM
1. ROLL CALL 10:07 am called to order by Sue. In attendance: Vice President Sue Mendleson, Secretary Sheri Russell, Treasurer Jean Cote, Directors Anne Parsons, Keith Mallinson, Barry Jones, Laurel Rabschutz. Invitees: Kikuko Chang, Meredith Moore, Donna Thibault and Beth Rossi. Absent: Mary Bylone and Jess DiCenso.
2. Sue motioned to have business reports before Committee. Motion seconded by Keith and approved unanimously.
3. Approve March Phone BOD Meeting Minutes: Clarification that email vote made needs to state that a vote was made by Sue to ‘ratify the vote’. Pending this clarification Motion was made by Keith to accept the BOD Phone minutes and seconded by Sheri and approved unanimously.
4. President’s Report: President Mary Bylone sent her report in and reports receiving a lot of positive feedback from members about the Club’s events. Talked to a number of people at Cabin Fever and many were not currently Newf Owners. Really appreciated the welcome they received and the information everyone willingly shared. I heard this at the Working Dog show as well. Good job everyone. We have had good attendance at events by board members and you are engaging with the people and they notice!
5. Secretary’s Report: Review Agenda and Minutes. Request for Committee Participation at Annual Meeting
6. Treasurer’s Report: See attached reports. An issue regarding the way donations are reported on PayPal and the cross reference with what Membership Secretary reports. Keith motioned that the NCNE purchase a new printer for the Treasurer, up to $200 and that the cartridge be replaced through the Treasurer’s budget. Motion seconded by Sheri and approved unanimously. $45 payment will be made for registration for the NCNE Club boat trailer. Keith motioned to accept the report and Barry seconded the motion. The motion was accepted.
7. Committee Reports: a) Membership. After the next vote to accept the members below, the current membership totals are 291 memberships consisting of 149 Family, 130 Individual, 10 Honorary members and 2 Junior members. The online membership process appears to be helping with renewals. There are only 29 members that have not renewed. The typical loss of renewals each year has been 50 members. A motion made by Laurel and seconded by Sheri, agreed to approve the 9 new memberships that are listed in the last NewfPrints. This motion passed unanimously. The PayPal account has had some problems. When it was established, the person we hired to finish the website asked me to provide PayPal my personal information in order to set up the PayPal account. Subsequently, the dues renewal income for 2018, PayPal attributed the income to me. I knew there was a problem when I received a 1099 form in February 2019. After conferring with PayPal the only way to rectify this problem was to delete the account and set up a new account. Big thank you to Mary Bylone, Barry Jones and Kendra Arnold for helping with this issue. When I completed my tax returns for 2018, I had to recognize the dues renewals on my taxes as income and produce account information for the NCNE to prove to the IRS I did not receive this money into my own bank accounts. Since I didn’t know about this problem until February, my 2019 income will also include all the dues renewals sent in January and February of 2019. I’ll have to demonstrate again to the IRS that the club was the beneficiary of this money. b) Working Dog Committee: Nothing New to Report except that Lanelle Warrick has agreed to judge the draft test on October 26 and 27. c) THERA-NEWFS: Laurel presents the Mission Statement. THERA-NEWFS MISSION STATEMENT. Thera-Newfs is a NCNE committee founded on the belief that the human-animal bond is a mutually beneficial relationship that can improve the well-being of others through interactions with our dogs. • To create and maintain a database of NCNE members active in pet therapy. Database to be maintained by the committee chair or designee. • To provide a network of registered volunteer teams to serve as a resource for pet therapy requests received by the NCNE. • To provide support and education to registered teams and to NCNE members interested in pet therapy work. To build a connection among NCNE members who have a shared interest in pet therapy activities. Member Eligibility: • Owner/co-owner must be NCNE member in good standing. • Must be registered with a national recognized pet therapy agency that evaluates, registers, and insures the team. Sheri motioned to accept the mission statement for the Thera-Newf Committee and seconded by Jean. Motion passed unanimously. Laurel presented a bib design for Pet Therapy teams. Jon from Newf Emporium can do the embroidery for $35 and completed bib. Newf Emporium can also do drool towels for $25. Laurel will continue to price out other 26
vendors. Laurel also suggested using a parameter to determine how many hours will be counted for annual award for bibs/towels. Laurel will look into AKC or other credentialed Therapy dog guidelines. Dogs who have qualified for therapy dog titles will be grandfathered in and will receive a bib in exchange for a picture or article and verification of their titles/credentials. Laurel will set up a budget for request from the BOD and will email once she has that complete. d) RESCUE: Beth reports that she is working to establish a program with a trainer in central Mass for 20 of the state coordinators and fosters to handle and be trained to deal with behavioral issues with dogs. $500 will be needed to pay for trainer and facility. Beth reports that she is looking to book this event in the near future. Beth is also hoping to host welcome event for current and potential foster folks. Update on current dogs: Maggie has been dealing with health issues regarding platelets. Her foster family will be keeping her once she is cleared from a health perspective. Lily, is the second dog, she has a small liver and trying to manage the liver issues. Oolum is a hospice Newf trying to determine what his health issues are. He was turned in due to a Military relocation. Beth reports finding a perfect family for him. Benny is currently dealing with bilateral CCL tears. Substantial funds were donated for him. Discussion ensued regarding physical therapy, stem cell and outreach for the dog. Beth is trying to develop a network of vets that are willing to assist in foster or rescue dogs. Keith reports that the advisory committee needs to have board members as well as keeping Anne on it as well. Keith reports that we do need a new member from the board. Also as a reminder any Rescue dog which needs over $1000 worth of care has to have all three members consulted. A motion was made by Jean to appoint a new advisory committee of Anne Parsons, Sheri Russell and Sheila Mallinson seconded by Anne. Motion passed unanimously. e) CONFORMATION: No report. Sue will reach out to Sue Jones regarding 2020 planning. f) WEBSITE COMMITTEE: Calendar has been put up. Mary reports that they have a possible solution for emails from the website as well as storing documents on a ‘board only’ page where the board would have access, but no one else. Working on the link for scholarship on the webpage, but not done. Sue will remind Kendra and Mary of on-going things to be done regarding on-line applications. Info on Therapy Dog Committee needs to be added. We need to find out when Kendra is ready to take over, hoping by the end of July when current agreement is up. There is still a conflict of when old website master and new will be transitioning. g) FALL FUN DAY: Still do not have a chair for this event. At this point the October event deposit has not yet been paid. Insurance cannot be obtained until after the September renewal. The Date is secured for the 4H fairgrounds for October 6, 2019. Sue will confirm the date has been reserved with Mary.
8. NEW BUSINESS a) Status of On Line Store: Cannot do much without PayPal. Would like to use the TeeSpring b) PAYPAL: The question that Sue presented was that we are corporation and do not need a person. The incorporated address of NCNE, Inc. is in Connecticut. Jean reported that PayPal needs a contact address and phone of contact person. Jean questions whether the account has really been closed for NCNE. According to Mary the PayPal Membership account was closed 6 weeks ago. Jean notes that the account is still active with Brenda’s info. We are hoping to set up an account that is designated with NCNE EIN number. Problems arise with the combination of membership and then other income items. The BOD suggested having 2 accounts for membership and all other income. Membership Sec and Treasurer will have specific PayPal contact info. Charitable Fund PayPal is working fine. A motion was made to authorize Sheri to create a 50th anniversary PAYPAL account using a Gmail address using club’s EIN with her address, phone WITH JEAN as secondary signer and Barry will follow up with Kendra to add to website. Motion made by Keith and seconded by Laurel. Motion was passed unanimously. The rest of the discussion for PAYPAL will be tabled until Brenda, Jean and Mary explore the new ways to set up completely new PAYPAL accounts for Membership and all other income items. Barry will coordinate a meeting. A motion was made by Keith to create an ad hoc committee of Jean, Mary, Kendra, Brenda and Barry to further investigate exactly how to best approach establishing PAYPAL account(s) for the NCNE. Motion was seconded by Barry and the motion was voted on and passed unanimously. c) Notifying Annual Award Winners before June 1 to build attendance at Annual Meeting. d) Recognizing Longevity Members at Annual Meeting (FROM MARY): Joyce should be letting the recipients know. A posting will be done by Sheri on Facebook today for all awards. e) Margaret Todd Cruise on June 22 (SUE): Harbor cruise in Bar Harbor with out Newfs. The Chamber of Commerce would possibly encourage activities beyond the cruise. The event will be held on June 22 at 10am. The event is not a club sponsored event but is welcome to owners. f) SUPERPOWER DOGS FILM: (FROM BRENDA) There is a film being released in IMAX theatres called Superpower Dogs. It follows a puppy that is training to help rescue people in disasters. The film highlights other rescue dogs – blood hounds used in Kenya and Newfoundlands in Italy. It will be advertised in NewfPrints. The information is as follows 27
Imax Maritime Aquarium in Norwalk, CT from March 15 – July 1. Second showing in Hartford, CT Science Center. g) Review of non-renewing members: Keith made a motion that we reinstate the policy of non members rescuing dogs through NCNE rescue will be offered to have NCNE dues waived for one year if they apply for membership and regular process of membership vetting will happen. h) NCA National Specialty: NCNA Parade wearing Patriots/Red Sox gear Olive will pull the cart. We need a write up. Queen ‘We are The Champions’ will be the music. Keith motioned that we allocate money to purchase up to 150 stress balls with 50th Logo on them, splitting cost with 50th Anniversary. Laurel seconded. Motion passed unanimously. i) Anne: Money I the rescue account needs to be used for rescue events. Events were suggested and Sheila reported that she has leftover items that were donated that can be used.
9. UNFINISHED BUSINESS a) Sheri: ANNUAL MEETING UPDATE: Mentor and Art Auction. Longevity members will have parking covered. BOD approved pre purchasing 25 parking tickets.
