The Believe In Books FUN RUN is Going Virtual!

The Believe in Books Literacy Foundation’s Annual Fun Run will be a virtual race this year! Participants are asked to run a designated length based on age and once complete, participants must submit a photo to Believe in Books Literacy Foundation, no later than Tuesday, September 1st, 2020.  Once the finish photos are received, BIBLF will be sending each participant a medal and a code to get a FREE pass into Story Land valid any day through the 2021 season and race t-shirts will be available for pick-up at Memorial Hospital sometime in mid-September!

            While the three organizations who host this event wish it could be in person, they hope families will use this opportunity to get kids outside and have some fun, while earning free passes into Story Land!  Online registration is only $10 per child and is open for children up to the age of 13. Scholarships, provided by Memorial Hospital, are available for students of SAU 9, 13, 20, 3 and MSAD 72 school districts. All net proceeds from this virtual race will go towards the BIBLF’s Bookmobile Program which has been out and about visiting communities and giving out free books this Summer!

            For more information and to register for the Fun Run, visit http://www.believeinbooks.org/kids-fun-run-at-story-land.html.

Their creativity illuminates our daily, inseparable and indispensable relationship with water.
 
Dr. Rick Van de Poll will begin the evening with a reading from his recently published work “Crossing Higher Ground: Poetry From the Mountaintops“, a book of poetry inspired by exploring countless mountaintops over fifty years. Participants will have the opportunity to speak about their artwork and interact with other artists. Participants’ artwork will also be included on a traveling outdoor mural to be displayed at libraries and galleries throughout the watershed through September.

Ossipee Suspect Turns Himself In

On the morning of August 18, 2020 at approximately 10:13 am the Ossipee Police Department responded to a report of a Domestic Violence Assault. The suspect who was identified as Troey Dore by his ex-girlfriend had broken into the residence she was staying and violently assaulted her. He fled the scene before the police arrived. Ossipee Police then checked and had reason to believe that Dore was at his residence. A search warrant and a felony arrest warrants were applied for and granted. In collaboration with New Hampshire State Police, it was determined the search warrant would be executed by the NH State Police Swat Team. The search warrant was executed and Troey Dore was not located. Several other locations were checked with negative contact. Dore turned himself in this morning, August 19, 2020. Dore will be held on cash bail.
