Congratulations to Alex Graham, M.D., for his appointment as a family physician at the Charlotte Family Health Center. Alex grew up in Charlotte, where his parents were both doctors, his mother on the staff of the Charlotte Family Health Center. Medicine was not the family’s only calling, however. Living on a “rough and tumble farm,” they raised most of what they ate.

Over the years of The Charlotte News, the “Around Town” section has addressed issues that impact people and organizations of our community.
Although something we call community will likely exist, the COVID-19 pandemic will produce changes in how that community displays itself. As our representative Mike Yantachka noted in the last News issue, we are faced with the unexpected and have to “adapt our lifestyle quickly.”

Around Town – Oct 3
For those of us who spent any amount of time in New York City, and particularly in Greenwich Village, the passing of the Village Voice, both print and online editions, marks the end of an era, the end of a 63-year-long leading element of local journalism. According to an article in the September 23 New York Times, its demise “struck another blow to local reporting in New York.”

Brian Machanic, a photographer, author and lecturer from Charlotte, who has been touring the state giving a presentation titled “The Art in Birding.” His most recent appearances have included the Manchester Public Library, Dead Creek Water Management Association in Addison and Eastview Community in Middlebury.

to Leath Tonino, author, former Charlotte resident and CVU High School grad who had a short story in the summer edition of Orion Magazine. Titled “Middle of Nowhere,” the piece takes Leath and his three friends from high school to Nevada’s Black Rock Desert, not for the Burning Man festivities, “not for 60,000 humans, not for lasers and whumping bass and skyscraper flames, but for the desert’s own severe weirdness. Its isolation.”

to Courtney McDermott whose poem “Dublin” appeared in the Young Writers Project of the Burlington Free Press on August 10. In it the author wonders whether coming abroad was the right thing to do. She says she has never before felt lonely as she is sitting by herself in a café. She wonders whether she made a mistake but at the end of the poem makes her decision. Read it to see what she decides.

This volcanic activity forced residents to act quickly, while they find and collect their belongings, some having to search for a vehicle in which to carry them, and move them into new homes. Jenn says it has been exhausting.
