Sargent’s Purchase – Rescue personnel from NH Fish & Game, Androscoggin Valley Search & Rescue (AVSAR), Mountain Rescue Services (MRS), and the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC) responded to a call of an injured hiker on the Lion Head summer trail in Sargent’s Purchase Sunday afternoon. The initial 911 call came in at approximately 1:45 p.m. and reported that a 44-year-old male hiker had suffered a serious lower leg injury while descending Lion Head Trail and needed to be carried down the trail. Conservation Officers utilized their department issued ATVs to drive up the Sherburne Ski trail to the Hermit Lake Shelter to help expedite the rescue. Due to the nature of the injury, assistance with patient transport was requested from Gorham Fire Department. They responded with the Southern Coos County Emergency Response Rescue Utility Terrain Vehicle (UTV) which was able to ascend the Sherburne Ski Trail where they met the rescue crew.
Rescuers made initial contact with the victim, identified as Eric Eldridge of Center Ossipee, NH at 4:45 p.m. approximately ¼ mile up Lion Head Trail from the Tuckerman Ravine Trail junction. He was assessed and provided initial medical treatment by an EMT from AVSAR.

From there he was carried up to the Hermit Lake Shelter and then down the Sherburne Ski Trail. On the Sherburne trail the crew was met by the Rescue UTV. From there he was secured on the UTV and driven down the rest of the trail to the Pinkham Notch Visitor Center arriving at 7:45 p.m.
Along with the Conservation Officers, AVSAR, MRS, and AMC members, several other hikers volunteered in carrying Eldridge down the trail.

The North Conway Public Library is excited to announce a matching gift challenge as part of their capital campaign “An Exciting New Chapter.” Through the generosity of long-standing patrons Sharon and Ted Wroblewski, donations made through August 15th will be matched, up to a total of $5,000 for all donations.
“It is exciting to drive through the village and see this project take shape,” said Sharon Wroblewski. “With all the new construction in recent years, it is wonderful that the preservation of this historic library was an important consideration in the expansion plans. The new addition blends seamlessly with the old and it is absolutely beautiful!”
The project got started with a $3 million donation from Lyman Pope and construction began in August of 2019. The library continues its community fundraising efforts to raise the remaining $420,000 through donations and grants. “We understand that these are challenging times and raising funds in the current climate is a big ask,” said Andrea Masters, Library Director. “We are hopeful now that the building progress is so visible to the community that they will be motivated to show their support with a donation.”
“We are thrilled to have the Wroblewski’s gift to offer encouragement to bolster donations”, said Kate Lamneck, Capital Campaign Chair. “Any amount is appreciated and with a matching grant those small donations become even more important.”
Donations can be made online on the library’s website at NorthConwayLibrary.com or checks sent to NCPL, PO Box 409, North Conway, NH 03860. Pledge forms and more detailed information about the capital campaign and building project are available at NorthConwayLibrary.com.

Memorial Hospital Adds Asymptomatic COVID Testing
NORTH CONWAY, NH – Memorial Hospital will begin testing for COVID-19 for persons not experiencing COVID symptoms. The tests are made possible under an agreement with the New Hampshire Department of Health. Testing begins Monday, August 10th and is by appointment only.
“As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the need for increased community testing has grown,” says hospital Chief Medical Officer Dr. Matt Dunn. “We’ve been limited to testing patients with one or more COVID symptoms or who fall into a high risk group such as first responders. Working with the state has helped create opportunities for people without symptoms to be tested.”
Memorial has created a testing center for asymptomatic individuals at its outpatient physical therapy building on the north side of the Hospital campus on Route 16 in North Conway. Patients enter the campus from Route 16 at the “Scheduled Testing” signs and proceed to the testing center on the left. Tests are collected while the patient remains in their vehicle. Dunn adds that appointments for testing are required by calling (603) 356-0673. “It is important for people to call and register for their test. This helps the clinicians work safely with all patients and keeps hospital roadways clear for emergencies.”
Each test takes only a few minutes. Results are available online through MyChart, the hospital’s electronic medical records system. Patients will also receive a telephone call with their results. Testing is planned for weekdays, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. until 3:30 p.m.
Persons with COVID-19 symptoms such as fever and chills, shortness of breath, and loss of taste and smell, can continue to present to the hospital’s emergency department for evaluation. These patients enter the hospital campus from the south entrance on Route 16 and proceed to the emergency department, calling (603) 356-4946 to register from their vehicle.
Memorial only tests for the presence of an active COVID-19 infection. They do not provide an antibody test.
Before registering for a test it is suggested that patients contact their insurance carrier about coverage and payment for an asymptomatic test. The Hospital will help New Hampshire residents without insurance apply for state funds to cover the cost of their test.
