Listeners will be able to meet three Olympian Skiers at Between 2 Gates, a benefit for the Mt. Washington Valley Ski Team this Saturday. Doors open at 5 PM  at the Leura Hill Eastman Performing Arts Center with Leanne Smith, Nolan Casper, and Andru Weibrecht in attendance. There will also be catering, adult beverages, an auction and raffle going on. Leanne Smith is looking to inspire attendees. She says, “What’s important for us to get across to the young athletes and other athletes in the room on Saturday night is that anything is accomplishable. And going out and working hard and following those dreams- even when they feel like they’re right within reach or not- it’s always important to keep your head down and working toward it.” Listeners can get tickets online at mwvskiteam.com.

Wolfeboro’s Fire-Rescue and Police Departments, and Stewart’s Ambulance Service, responded to a bridge construction site on Pleasant Valley Road yesterday after a report of a motor vehicle accident. Someone involved in the accident was injured and had gone into the water, although authorities haven’t identified if they were the driver or a passenger in the vehicle. Wolfeboro’s Fire-Rescue Department pulled the patient out of the water with cold water rescue suits, ladders, webbing, and a backboard, before stabilizing them. The process reportedly took 12 minutes to pull the patient from the water after the Fire-Rescue Personnel arrived. The patient was flown to Portland for medical treatment. Authorities say the incident remains under investigation.
