Living with an Aging Parent
Following the recent PBS and WGBY broadcast of “Caring for Mom and Dad,” David Horgan, co-author of “When Your Parent Moves In: Every Adult Child’s Guide to Living with an Aging Parent” discusses the special problems encountered and approaches needed when children become custodians and care-givers for their parents.
Farmers’ Markets
The Valley is home to some of the longest running farmers’ markets in the state. Both the Amherst Farmers’ Market and the Greenfield Farmers’ Market are over 40 years old. Our farmers’ markets are an important source of commerce and community building for both farmers and residents. More and more residents are able to buy at markets, since many markets accept SNAP (food stamps) and some markets are even matching SNAP purchases. Connecting Point Contributor Carolee McGrath talks with Devon Whitney-Deal, CISA Local Hero Coordinator and manager of the Greenfield Farmers’ Market, and Maureen Dempsey of Intervale Farm in Westhampton to learn more.
