Column: Federal funding for medical research puts America first
When my grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in the mid-1990s, there were few options for therapies and treatments. As her disease progressed over the next decade, there was little that could be done until she died in 2004. I was still in elementary school when she faced this disease, which has unfortunately left me with few memories of her where she was not ill or bed-ridden.

Heads-up work
Amos Daisey, of Orford, cleans a deer skull while making a European skull mount for a customer on March 7. Using deer, boar and bear heads, Daisey boils them for hours, cleans and dries the skulls before brushing their teeth and using a whitener. He said the whole process takes about three days. Daisey’s family farm, Cotton Stone Farm, was started by his grandfather. Today, the family runs a wholesale cut-flower business, a bait shop and a meat-cutting business. “We’re trying to make the farm work,” he said.
