Together With Veterans Update

Last October Magic 104 spoke with former Army Captain Ray Gilmore, who was involved with a project called, “Together With Veterans.” The plan was to address Veteran Suicide by building social support networks within New Hampshire communities. If successful, methods developed in this program will be used in preventing suicide with other demographics. Gilmore says that there’s progress since our October meeting.  Together With Veterans is planning on assessing the Berlin, Gorham area on January 10th before they begin to offer training for local residents in February. The plan is to start in more populated communities and then build connections into the more rural areas surrounding them. He also says the project has added retired Navy Commander Steven Wyrsch to their lineup. Ray says, “His experience as both a veteran and healthcare executive will be crucial in helping to establish some standard practices across the north country to tighten up the safety net in the community.”

First Annual Fryeburg PD ‘Stuff-a-Cruiser’

Yesterday was the Fryeburg Police Department’s first annual ‘Stuff-a-Cruiser’ event. Officers teamed up with Molly Ockett Middle School’s PTA as well as local businesses and community volunteers to collect donated toys and clothes. Donated items will be given to less fortunate families this holiday season. Fryeburg’s Police Chief Joshua Potvin says it was an honor to take part in such a special community project. He says, “During the first event hosted by Fair Grounds Coffee, our cruiser was literally stuffed with hundreds of toys, clothes, and other holiday supplies along with cash donations.” The Fryeburg Police Department plans on hosting another ‘Stuff-a-Cruiser’ event this coming Sunday from 3pm – 5pm at Bradley Park.

KHS Bomb Prank

In what authorities now believe to be a prank, Kennett High School took precautionary measures yesterday to handle an alleged bomb threat on the school. The Conway Daily Sun reports the threat was found on an unassigned computer and stated a plan to attack the school this Friday afternoon. Kennett High School officials told the Daily Sun that the High School was cleared after school, and bomb-sniffing dogs were brought into the High School. They say a heightened police presence will remain for a short time. Officials say the student responsible for the message has been identified and they believe the alleged threat was actually a prank. Anyone with pertinent information is still asked to contact the Conway Police Department.
