The need to wander seems to be in our DNA. But people with disorders like Alzheimer’s, dementia, or autism might need help finding their way home.
Here in Marquette County, the Retired Senior Volunteer Program can help.
Family can enroll their loved ones in the Life Tracker program through RSVP. No one is turned down.
She said at any given time there are about 20 Marquette County residents fitted with devices. An RSVP volunteer will fit the device and if there is an issue with the tracker they will fix it.
The Life–Tracker frequency allows aerial and ground search teams to locate the missing person without wasting time searching in the wrong direction.

Truckee and North Lake Tahoe regional officials have made the difficult decision to cancel the annual July 3 fireworks at Kings Beach, and the Fourth of July fireworks shows in Donner Lake, Truckee and Tahoe City. Canceled events include the Fourth of July parade, which encompasses the Firecracker Mile in Historic Downtown Truckee, and any other events that take place through July 4 in Truckee and North Lake Tahoe.
In March, the Incline Village Crystal Bay Visitor Bureau (IVCBVB) announced they were canceling its 4th of July fireworks display for the second consecutive year due to ongoing pandemic concerns and heightened summer visitation concerns. The Nevada Rural Counties Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) said they are going ahead with plans for their annual Fourth of July carnival and fireworks show held annually at Mills Park in Carson City.

Community gardens are back in Paris thanks to a Health4U grant awarded the Paris-Lamar County Health Department in 2017, the United Way of Lamar County and Paris Regional Medical Center.
Volunteers with Health4U worked Sunday afternoon restoring about a dozen raised beds in the Paris Community Garden, located at the Paris Regional Medical Centerâs campus at 2875 Lewis Lane. Businesses partnering with the program to provide materials include Kelley Plant Farm, Jemasco Inc., Land & Co., DudeWorx, Retired Senior Volunteer Program and Primetime Senior Services.
âThe garden has been neglected over the last year because of Covid,â Dr. Amanda Green said as she and several other volunteers refreshed plots with fresh gardening soil and planted a few flowers and vegetables to encourage people to adopt a garden plot. âThereâs a lot of us partnering together to try to bring something positive and healthy back to people.â
