Helping Georgians Receive Early Diagnosis for Alzheimer’s

Some Georgians experience memory loss or cognitive decline and delay getting a diagnosis. However, an early diagnosis for Alzheimer’s disease or related dementias can make a positive difference.

New breakthrough Alzheimer’s treatments are only appropriate for people in the early stages of Alzheimer’s. Early diagnosis can lead to more effective treatments, additional support, and access to clinical trials.

If you’ve noticed signs of memory loss or cognitive decline, don’t delay. Make an appointment to talk to your Primary Care Provider immediately. If signs of Alzheimer’s or related dementias are found, they can recommend an appointment with Georgia Memory Net for an evaluation. Visit GaMemoryNet.org/referrals to learn more about getting a referral to a GMN Memory Assessment.

G et A w ay C o mp letel y

Welcome to your August 2023 issue of GPB Next. Each month, as I sit down to write this letter to you, I never have to worry about suffering writer’s block. In fact, there are so many things to talk about here at GPB that I find it difficult to narrow it down to just one or two things. And, in essence, that’s what I want to talk to you about today. GPB is something different to just about everyone. Some come to us solely for television or radio. Perhaps you support GPB because of its news content or our education programs in classrooms across the state. Maybe you’ve been a stalwart MASTERPIECE fan from the very beginning, and Sunday night dramas are a family tradition for you. Whatever brought you to GPB, I hope you occasionally will take a moment to look around at all the other wonderful things we do. From where I sit, GPB is vital to Georgians on many levels. We’re so much more than just one thing. And, as donors, educating ourselves about the many varied mission points of this company can open the door to a greater understanding of what our giving makes possible.

Your gift is not an investment. Instead, it’s a symbol of trust – your trust in us to continue to make our state a better place to live, to inform the public, to bring you both sides of any given conversation and then leave the decision-making up to you. Public broadcasting isn’t advocacy. At its core it is education. But even that word seems too small to convey exactly what we do. In today’s fractured media landscape where almost nothing is singular and unique, GPB remains so. Where else can you find educational moments wrapped in entertainment? Who else can you trust with the safety and well-being of your children? And, where else can you tune in to the news, not because we say what you want to hear, but instead because you may be challenged or even change your mind?

Be assured, everything we do, every decision we make, is made through the spirit of philanthropy. And those decisions are what create a path for us to be of greater service to ALL of Georgia. Representing a state as geographically, ethnically and ideologically as diverse as ours is a big task. But we’re up to it! And we will continue to do it every hour of every day because of you.

Thank you for continuing to support the work of this company.

Bert Wesley Huffman GPB President and Interim CEO

Peach Jam Showcases the Stories and Songs of Musical Artists Across Georgia

By Jeremy Powell, Host and Producer

E very night of the week, restaurants, bars and music halls across Georgia play host to incredibly talented musicians.

Whether you’re on the back deck of Schroeder’s in Rome, exploring The Wormhole in Savannah or rocking out at the Oglethorpe Lounge in Albany, there’s a good chance the musicians performing on-stage are fellow Georgians pursuing their dreams. Those dreams are not always about fame and fortune. Many times, they are about doing exactly what they are doing: getting paid to play music.

As the producer and host of Peach Jam, it has been a fun sort of scavenger hunt to find the talented musicians dotted across the state. I have discovered new personal favorites and added their vinyl records to my collection. I have made new friends from my hometown of Rome, and I have realized that no matter our background, we all have interesting stories to tell.

Pony Bradshaw, a singer-songwriter from Chatsworth told me “I don’t think I knew that you could make a career out of writing a song and singing it…the workingclass kind of career as a musician I didn’t know existed.”

Just as we have mountains and beaches, cotton fields and big cities, we also have country and soul, rap, punk and everything in between. There are many gifted artists making all types of music in Georgia. The goal of the Peach Jam Podcast is to seek out these musicians, give them a spotlight and showcase their stories and songs.

Hip-hop artist Cantrell from Albany, GA.

Eddie 9V, a musician from dropped out of high school to musical career. “I don’t know how agreed to do it, but they just know… focus on your music. So, was very lucky,” he said. Eddie debuted at the top of the chart.

Eddie 9V, a musician from McDonough dropped out of high school to pursue his musical career. “I don’t know how my parents agreed to do it, but they were just like, you know… focus on your music. So, I was very, very lucky,” he said. Eddie 9V’s latest album debuted at the top of the Billboard Blues chart.

Northwest Georgia’s own Georgia Thunderbolts recall playing on Broad Street in Rome, “You should have seen us piled up in front of the door at the Mexican restaurant. Man, you should have seen us sitting on the sidewalk of Broad Street playing with our guitar cases open.” The Georgia Thunderbolts were recently featured on the Rock Legends Cruise alongside Roger Daltrey, Deep Purple and the Marshall Tucker Band.

GPB and the Atlanta History Center Host a Free Screening of MONUMENT: The Untold Story of Stone Mountain on Wednesday, August 9 at 6:30 PM

GPB is pleased to partner with the Atlanta History Center for a free screening of the Center’s new documentary film, MONUMENT: The Untold Story of Stone Mountain on Wednesday, August 9 at 6:30 p.m. at the Columbus Public Library.

Stone Mountain Park is home to the Confederate Memorial Carving, which depicts three Confederate figures of the Civil War - President Jefferson Davis and Generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson.

Towering 400 feet above the ground and measuring 90 by 190 feet, the carving of the three men on Stone Mountain is a monument to Southern heritage for some, while to others it’s a painful reminder of the South’s effort to hold onto slavery and the oppression of Black Americans.

MONUMENT: The Untold Story of Stone Mountain is designed to inspire deeper learning and conversation about the carving’s origin and the complicated relationship between historical events and key players who established it.

Following the presentation of the documentary, Atlanta History Center President and CEO Sheffield Hale, along with VP of Digital Storytelling Kristian Weatherspoon, will participate in a panel discussion as part of the screening event.

Follow A Fork in the Road for a Tasteful Journey

By Mandy Wilson

Did you know that one of the most unique coffee roasters in the country is located in Cleveland, Georgia and it offers bourbon-infused coffee and wine-infused coffee? How about the fact that the South Georgia city of Cordele is known as the watermelon capital of the world? And despite its reputation as the “Peach State,” blueberries are the most produced fruit in Georgia?

shares all these stories and more, as host David Zelski provides a first-hand look at how food and agricultural products are produced in Georgia and introduces viewers and listeners to farmers, retailers, artisans, chefs and other key players whose products serve people across the state and beyond.

David, one of the original hosts of the long-running GPB Original series Georgia Traveler, explains that part of the inspiration for A Fork in the Road came from his work on that series.

“Some of my favorite stories were the agritourism segments like Savannah Bee Company, Georgia Buffalo Ranch and Hunter Cattle Company,” he said.

David says that he had a concept in mind for a series, and after meeting with representatives from Georgia Grown, a division of the Georgia Department of Agriculture that helps grow local agribusinesses, A Fork in the Road came together.

Host David Zelski.

Host David Zelski with Hyatt Regency Atlanta’s executive chef Thomas McKeown.

“Farmers and manufacturers tell their stories,” he said. “There’s history, heartbreak and inspiration.”

So how do story ideas come about for A Fork in the Road?

“Georgia Grown is the best source because they know everybody,” said David. “A lot of people find me on Facebook or Instagram and give me ideas. We can’t do them all, but sometimes they really work.”

For David, the stories that really work are those that share the full evolution of an agricultural product.

“I like stories that help connect the dots,” said David. “For example, we followed the milk from a Georgia farm to the place where they test it and bottle it up on Cheshire Bridge Road [in Atlanta]. Then we went to Kroger to watch it go on to the shelf.”

Watch A Fork in the Road on GPB TV Saturdays at noon and Sundays at 6:30 p.m. Viewers can also tune in this month, Fridays August 4 and August 11 at 7 p.m. The program is available on demand at gpb.org. Listen and subscribe to A Fork in the Road at gpb.org/podcast or wherever you get your podcasts.

“It’s fun to be a part of it,” said David of A Fork in the Road. “The best feeling is knowing that you’ve made a difference for people’s business that have worked so hard.”

“There’s history, heartbreak and inspiration.”

Does Early Diagnosis For Alzheimer’s Make A Difference

Thousands of Georgians have noticed signs of memory loss or cognitive impairment, but they haven’t received a diagnosis for those symptoms.

We asked Georgia Memory Net Director Dr. James Lah three questions about early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s and related dementias.

1. There’s a lot of buzz about new treatments for Alzheimer’s. How does early diagnosis relate to these medications?

There are new drugs that remove Alzheimer’s amyloid plaques out of the brain and slow the progression of symptoms by 25-30%, meaning that many patients may be spared the devastating late stages of disease. However, they are only effective when given early and only beneficial to individuals with Alzheimer’s disease. Early recognition and specific diagnosis are absolutely essential if patients are to benefit from these drugs.

2. Are there other benefits to early diagnosis?

Absolutely. Early diagnosis gives patients and families the opportunity to discuss and plan for contingencies and avoid crisis situations related to finances, safety, and care needs. Optimizing medical treatment, including emerging therapies, and emphasizing health-promoting lifestyle related to diet, exercise, and mental and social engagement can help to sustain and slow cognitive and functional decline.

3. What if a Georgian gets an early diagnosis for their symptoms and it turns out they don’t have Alzheimer’s?

There are many other reasons, besides Alzheimer’s disease, why individuals may experience cognitive changes. A specific diagnosis is the key to anticipating what will happen in the future and for optimizing treatment. For example, if memory loss and cognitive difficulties are related to injury to the brain due to conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes, the management approach should focus on reducing risk of additional vascular injury through control of risk factors and lifestyle interventions.
