Pick up your free Fall issue of PRIMETIME CAPE COD magazine at favorite locations from Provincetown to both bridges. Or swing by the Cape Cod Times and grab an issue. Each story is a powerful antidote to the negative forces swirling around in our midst. This issue is filled with evidence of hope, compassion and the kindness of strangers -- Retired volunteers are saving a species, one tiny turtle at a time ... A pioneering organization in Falmouth, also fueled by volunteers, brings the aging-in-place movement to the Cape ... And we introduce a new column -- "Transitions," because midlife and beyond is all about change. You can also take a look at primetimecapecod.com.

In the January issue of PrimeTime Cape Cod we talk with Max Sarazin, Korean War Marine Corps veteran and full-time caregiver. One of the things that has brought fun and diversion into Max's life, along with an outlet for socializing, is his lifelong love of model trains, an interest that grew into model railroading, which is a lot more involved than just watching trains circle. Enjoy! And Merry Christmas!

Readers may remember the story we did on Army National Guard COL Tony Dingmann and his service dog, Jeremy. Jeremy was involved in a hit-and-run accident and underwent emergency veterinary care. A Go Fund Me account has been initiated to cover future costs for Jeremy's care. This man and his dog has given so much to others with post traumatic stress disorder. Even if the goal has been met, anyone who owns a pet knows that expense often surpass estimates. Please consider a donation of any amount.

A military veteran is happy to have his companion back home.

Some of you may remember the story we ran in PrimeTime Cape Cod on Tony Dingmann, psychiatrist and colonel in the Army National Guard, and his then 22-month-old golden retriever service dog, Jeremy. Although, the financial goal has been met to cover the veterinary expenses for Jeremy after a hit-and-run accident, anyone who has a pet knows how costs often surpass the estimate. If you care to, I'm sure your support would be greatly appreciated by this man and dog, who have given so much to others who suffer from PTSD.

My father's (Colonel Tony Dingmann) psychiatric service dog, Jeremy was in a hit and run car accident on Saturday, December 5.  Since then, Jeremy has undergone emergency surgery to repair a herniated diaphragm and remove his ruptured spleen. He has sustained three fractured ribs and bruised liv...

Sheriff Jim Cummings is full of great stories, hard facts and a drive to never see the people he serves a second time. While the national average for recidivism is 62%, at Barnstable County Correctional Facility, Sheriff Cummings has that number down to 30-40% in the general population and much lower for an intense, high-discipline program that addresses drug addiction, anger management, parenting, work, living arrangements, continued treatment and the insurance to cover it. You can read his story in the upcoming issue of PrimeTime Cape Cod, on stands starting today and tomorrow.
