Mark Johnson Leaves Mt. Washington Radio

Whether you talk to industry experts or regular listeners, most people asked will tell you that there’s something special about the sound of WMWV. That musical selection and rotation has been the work of a man named Mark Johnson since 1993. Mark says, “My heart was always about the music.” Normally music selection in modern radio is the result of studied charts tracking the popularity of songs in different genres. For Mark Johnson it was a passion that involved personally listening to submissions and using his own intuition to make judgements about what worked or didn’t with the sound of the station. Johnson says the music was his favorite part of the job. In a Mt. Washington Radio exclusive interview, I asked Mark if he had anything to say to the listeners. Mark said, “Thank you for listening to us all these years, all the very kind comments about, you know, what we do. Maybe even comments from people that didn’t like certain things. It’s all good. You know- this valley is amazing. I’m so proud to live here.” Mark Johnson will be leaving Mt. Washington Radio Group this Friday.

Accident on West Fryeburg Road

Fryeburg Police say West Fryeburg Road was closed for an hour on Friday as emergency personnel worked to clear a crash involving a pickup truck and a logging truck. Fryeburg police say a blue 2002 Chevy pickup truck was entering West Fryeburg Road from a private driveway and failed to yield to a fully loaded logging truck. The 43-year-old driver of the pickup had his 20-year-old son in the vehicle with him. The logging truck was being driven by a 29-year-old man from Freedom, New Hampshire. Police say the pickup crashed into the middle of the fully loaded logging trailer and caused damage to the wood loader as well as deflated a tire. Pictures indicate the entire front of the pickup truck was crushed. Police Chief Joshua Potvin says it’s “miraculous” that there were no reported injuries.

Disney/Pixar’s Onward opened with a relatively feeble $40 million this weekend, with many wondering if coronavirus fears are keeping movie-goers away from the box office. But others say the problem is in the film itself. 

Overseas, Onward brought in $28 million, well below the projections of $40-$55 million. The total haul was $68 million, a disappointment

MASSIVE Interstate Drug Bust

A massive cross-border initiative involving dozens of law enforcement agencies between Carroll County and the State of Maine concluded several months of investigations Thursday by arresting 35 individuals for a myriad of charges from distributing drugs such as fentanyl, heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, and marijuana to destruction of evidence, child abuse, theft, and more. Official arrests released include people from Conway, N. Conway, Fryeburg, Brownfield, Ossipee, Berlin, Tamworth, Tuftonboro, Jackson, Shapleigh, Laconia, Porter, Milton, Rochester, Bartlett, and Sebago. Authorities say the effort isn’t over and that law enforcement agents from town, county, state, and federal agencies are still working on arresting more individuals as they move forward with prosecution.

Ski Area Tax Voted Down

New Hampshire’s proposed ski ticket tax has been voted inexpedient to legislate by an overwhelming majority of the House. The Thursday vote on HB1652 means the propose 9% tax on ski area tickets is dead. The final roll call was a vote of 323 against 7 to kill the bill. The controversial measure proposed last year wanted to create a 9% tax on ski area tickets in order to fund education funds and scholarships in the State of New Hampshire. The bill died alongside a proposed tax on electronic devices in the state to fund education. That bill, HB1492, was voted inexpedient to legislate by a vote of 320 to 11.
