John Beede, Author of “The Warrior Challenge” joins Gino on The Magic Morning Show
How do we raise “good sons”?
Being a tough guy and showing no emotion…traits we’ve long-considered masculine…are no longer the ideals we want for our boys.
As we try to raise caring, thoughtful, respectful young men, this book will lead the pack, teaching them to become humans of a higher standard who embrace their emotions and feelings.
Unlike any book out there, THE WARRIOR CHALLENGE recounts engrossing stories about courageous men across history, providing real-life examples of modern manhood, and teaching messages about compassion and authenticity.
Author, mountain climber, and youth speaker John Beede disproves the “boys will be boys” mentality and encourages boys to be, above all, good humans. And this book applies to girls too!
John Beede set out to write THE WARRIOR CHALLENGE: 8 Quests for Boys to Grow Up with Kindness, Courage, and Grit to shift our shared definition and understanding of manhood and masculinity. This is a revolutionary and must-have book for boys who want to embrace who they are and find their best path to becoming good men! This no-holds-barred, action- packed, illustrated guide teaches boys to accept their own vulnerability and trust their heads, hearts, and souls.
By undertaking “The Warrior Challenge,” boys will learn a different kind of strength and what it means to be a man. Each chapter is accompanied by a comic book-style-artwork. Part of the challenge also is to ask boys to not take this journey alone, but to share it with either their parents, caretakers, teachers, or other role models in their lives. This book’s combination of interactive storytelling, real-life stories, and challenges will teach boys to be empathetic, vulnerable, and authentically them.

Adult Operator Seriously Injured in ATV Rollover in Jericho Mountain State Park
Berlin – On Thursday afternoon at approximately 3:45 p.m., law enforcement personnel from the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department and the Berlin Police Department responded to a report of two separate All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) rollover crashes on Jericho Lake Road in Jericho Mountain State Park. Upon notification of the incident, members of the Berlin Fire Department as well as EMS personnel from Berlin Ambulance responded to the scene.
Once on scene, law enforcement personnel confirmed that two riders, each operating a separate ATV, were involved in rollover crashes in the same area within seconds of one another. The adult operator was identified as Francisco Giron, a 30 year-old male, from Pawtucket, Rhode Island. The second operator was a 14 year-old female youth operator. Based on information gathered at the scene, it appears that both operators lost control of their ATV’s while traveling east and heading downhill on a paved portion of roadway. Upon losing control, both operators applied breaks, over corrected and subsequently rolled over. The roadway was dry, clear of debris and had recently been paved. Weather conditions were clear. As a result, Giron sustained serious life threatening injuries. The youth operator only sustained minor injuries. Both operators were a part of the same group and were riding with other members of their family, who were operating separate OHRV’s when the incident occurred.
Both operators were treated on-scene for their injuries and were transported by Berlin Ambulance to Androscoggin Valley Hospital (AVH) for further evaluation and treatment. Operator inexperience combined with unreasonable speed are considered to be the primary contributing factors. Alcohol and drugs do not appear to be factors in the collision.

Curbside Service Again at the North Conway Library
NORTH CONWAY — As construction is making great progress at the North Conway Library, the library is now once again offering curbside service.
“The staff can finally enter our main reading room again and has regained access to most of our fiction collection,” said Library Director Andrea Masters. “Some areas are still inaccessible, like most of our mystery room, and our DVD and books on CD collections are still boxed up. We can reach only about half of those collections for a few more weeks but we decided to offer curbside service again since our patrons were really looking forward to checking out at least some books and DVDs.”
Library materials reserved online will be available for pickup on Tuesdays from 10 a.m.-noon, Wednesdays from 1-3 p.m. and Fridays from 10 a.m.-noon at the library’s Main Street entrance.
“We currently don’t have an active phone line at the library and our voicemail doesn’t always pick up. Therefore we ask our patrons to reserve online at ncpl.biblionix.com. If that’s not possible, you can email me at andrea@northconwaylibrary.com for your reserves,” said Masters.
“We are terribly sorry about the limited access, both to our phone and to our library materials, but we thought it would be better to have a limited opening for our patrons than none at all,” she said.
Patrons are asked to use curbside pickup only if they are feeling well, and to wear a face mask during the pickup and keep 6 feet away from others at all times.
For more information about curbside service and how to reserve library materials online, go to northconwaylibrary.com/about-us/Library-Closed-Construction.
Construction of the library addition and renovation of the old building have been ongoing throughout the COVID-19 crisis but some suppliers and furniture companies had production delays during the pandemic which has slowed down the final phase of the renovation.
“We hope to have a soft opening during the first week of October even though we will not have any shelving by then,” Masters said. “Here, again, we think it will be better to have limited access to our collection than none at all. We are missing our patrons and want to go back to serving them in person. That’s what we love to do the most. Making the lives of our patrons and the whole community better; that’s what we are here for.”
NH DHHS Identifies First Mosquito Batch in 2020 to Test Positive for West Nile Virus
Concord, NH – The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has identified the first batch of mosquitoes to test positive for West Nile virus (WNV) this season. The batch was found recently in the city of Manchester. DHHS is working in partnership with the City of Manchester Health Department on providing additional risk mitigation information to Manchester residents and surrounding towns.
“West Nile virus is transmitted to humans from the bite of an infected mosquito,” said NH State Epidemiologist, Dr. Benjamin Chan. “The best way to prevent WNV and other mosquito-transmitted infections is to take steps to avoid mosquito bites by using an insect repellent effective against mosquitoes, avoid being outdoors between dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active, and remove any standing water from around the home, where mosquitoes reproduce.”
WNV is an arbovirus transmitted from the bite of an infected mosquito. WNV was first identified in New Hampshire in August of 2000. For the last decade, WNV activity has been detected every year in NH. The most recent human case of WNV in NH was in an adult in 2017. Typically, WNV activity increases in years where drought conditions exist. Even though we have been experiencing cooler fall weather, the risk for WNV and eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV) will continue to increase until there is a statewide mosquito killing hard frost.
Symptoms of WNV usually appear within a week after being bitten by an infected mosquito, although many people can be infected and not develop any symptoms, or only develop very mild symptoms. Symptoms can include flu-like illness including fever, muscle aches, headaches, and fatigue. A very small percentage of individuals infected with WNV can go on to develop more serious central nervous system disease, including meningitis or encephalitis. If you or someone you know is experiencing flu-like symptoms, including fever and headache, contact your local medical provider.
Prevention guidelines for WNV, and other arboviral diseases of concern, can be found below. Anyone with questions about arboviruses can call the New Hampshire Bureau if Infectious Disease Control at 603-271-4496. Fact Sheets on these diseases are available on the DHHS website at www.dhhs.nh.gov. For more information, please visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website at www.cdc.gov.

Third Virus Vaccine Reaches Major Hurdle: Final US Testing
(WASHINGTON AP) – A third leading candidate COVID-19 vaccine has entered a final stage of human testing in the United States. AstraZeneca announced Monday its potential COVID-19 vaccine has entered final trials in the U.S. to test the effectiveness and safety of the product. The Cambridge, England-based company said the trial will involve up to 30,000 adults from various racial, ethnic and geographic groups. The potential vaccine was invented by the University of Oxford and an associated company, Vaccitech. Meanwhile, a U.S. advisory panel is suggesting a way to ration the first limited doses once a vaccine does prove safe and effective.

Feel Good Story of the Week: Rescue Dog Who Lost Her Puppies Adopts Orphaned Kittens
The Sunshine Dog Rescue in Phoenix rescued a dog found living at a gas station and named the Australian Shepherd mix, Georgia. They soon learned Georgia was pregnant, but sadly the puppies were all born prematurely and none of them survived. “I’ve never had a mom dog lose a whole litter before. The best way I could describe it was she was frantic. It was so sad, she was looking for those babies. She tore up the toddler mattress we had her on, trying to find her babies,” said Anita Osa, founder of the rescue. Osa put out a call for help on Facebook, looking for any animals that needed a lactating mother dog. But what she ended up with was three newly orphaned kittens, who also needed a mother. Georgia is now super happy with her kittens. She cleans them and lets them nurse on her as if they were her own babies.

Memorial Hospital Reminds Parents to check Children’s Immunization Status
NORTH CONWAY, NH – The COVID-19 pandemic has led many families to postpone regular activities. For many families keeping up with immunizations and health visits for their children was one of those activities.
Dr. Wenda Saunders, a pediatrician at Memorial Hospital’s Mt. Washington Rural Health Care is encouraging families to get caught up with immunizations. “There has been a world-wide drop off in childhood immunizations and regular well-child visits because of COVID-19,” she says. “It is important for keeping your child healthy and for the health of your child’s classmates, day care mates, and friends.”
The Hospital and the Rural Health Center reduced access to hospital services during the early stages of the pandemic, including postponing some check-ups and other visits not deemed critical. Saunders notes that as the hospital has begun increasing access for patients, clinicians are making well-child visits and immunizations a priority. “We’re calling parents whose child had a visit affected by the hospital’s temporary reduction in services. To help schedule everyone we’ve added evening and weekend appointments to make it easier for parents to bring in their children.”
The Centers for Disease Control lists fourteen diseases preventable through vaccinations. These include the familiar measles, mumps, pertussis (whooping cough), and meningitis. Also on the list is polio which, though uncommon in the United States, is still seen in Africa, Asia and other areas of the world. While younger children receive most vaccines, Saunders also recommends the vaccination for the human papillomavirus, or HPV, for both girls and boys. The HPV vaccine is given in two or three doses beginning as soon as age 11. “The HPV vaccine reduces the risk of multiple types of cancers later in life, including cervical in females and oral cancers in males and females.”
Mt Washington Rural Health Practice Manager Lucy Williams says promoting health and preventing disease is the practice’s core mission, and her team has been working for several weeks to reschedule postponed appointments. “Reducing in-office appointments during the early stages of COVID-19 was the right thing to do to ensure patient safety. When we were able to increase access to services, we placed a high priority on well-child visits and immunizations as well as patients who missed appointments for chronic conditions.”
Health care providers, Williams says, learned more about the virus and how it spreads and made necessary adjustments to operations to safely increase access to in-person services. “We have transitioned our efforts to focus on preventive healthcare and have placed a high priority on routine well-child visits and immunizations.”
Williams adds that Mount Washington Valley Rural Health also expanded access by adding evening and weekend hours, and is now open seven days a week for appointments. Appointments can be requested through MyChart or by calling the office 603-356-5472.
