The Latest in Alzheimer's
Currently, there are nearly 50,000 people in NH and VT who have Alzheimer's or a related dementia. Most are being cared for by family members. Heather Maloney of the Alzheimer's Association presented the latest research in conjunction with the Upper Valley Walk to End Alzheimer's to raise awareness of recent breakthroughs, early interventions and services.

Highest Honors
Local musicians recently teamed up to celebrate beloved guitarist Ed Eastridge. The benefit for the Dave Clark Scholarship Fund happened in June at the Briggs Opera House. Performers included the Epitones, William Ghezzi, Grace Wallace, Jakob Breitbach and the main attraction himself, Ed Eastridge, via Zoom. The show included classics like "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" and "I Love Paris."

Where to Live?
The top worry of Vermont State Treasurer Michael Pieciak is the lack of housing in the state. He says a "big step" to fixing this woe was the legislature's 2022 vote to end single family zoning in Vermont. He believes that climate issues will also lead many to live closer to the state's urban areas.
