Winter Windstorms Across New England
Winds are picking up across New England and outages are being reported, primarily in the southern parts of New Hampshire, Maine, and Vermont. Power company Eversource is advising people to be prepared for inclement weather by building a standard emergency storm kit. They recommend water, non-perishable food, first aid supplies, any necessary prescriptions, flashlights, batteries and a battery powered radio as a basic standard kit. Charging up your wireless devices ensures you’ll have them for as long as possible if the power goes out. It’s also important to stay alert during a storm situation. Whether you’re on the road or inside your house, falling branches can be a danger.
Sitting on the summit of Mt. Washington, the Observatory is exposed to the region-wide wind currents. Since 2:00 today (2/25/19) they have reported average winds of over 100 mph. Weather Observer and Meteorologist Tom Padham says winds like this come along every five years or so. Padham also says that those stationed at the Observatory currently are taking extra precautions. Observers are trying not to stray too far from the building when they go outside and, when observers go to the top of the tower, they wear helmets with the knowledge that chunks of ice could come at them with those 100+ mph winds.

The 91st Annual Academy Awards Recap – 02/25/2019
‘GREEN BOOK’ AND ‘BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY’ DOMINATE ‘2019 OSCARS’ – (02/25/2019)
Green Book and Bohemian Rhapsody swept the 91st Academy Awards, which were held Sunday, February 24th, 2019, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. Bohemian Rhapsody brought home four, besting Green Book’s three.
Green Book, based on the real life story of a black musician who hired a white driver to tour the Deep South in the 1960s won Best Picture, against Roma, Black Panther, BlacKkKlansman, Bohemian Rhapsody, The Favourite, A Star Is Born, and Vice.
Green Book was widely considered an underdog, having been the subject of numerous controversies, including old revelations of director Peter Farrelly flashing his penis on-sets and star Viggo Mortenson using the N-word, in addition to an outcry over its accuracy.
The other big wins were Olivia Colman, for Best Actress in The Favourite and Rami Malek, for Best Actor in Bohemian Rhapsody. Alfonso Cuoron won Best Director for Roma. Colman’s victory was considered an upset, with many expecting seven-time nominee Glenn Close to clinch the win.
The Oscars are considered to be the culmination of the awards season, and this year there were all of the usual draws—glimpses of the world’s biggest stars in couture gowns and diamonds, the year’s best films earning (or being overlooked) the industry’s highest honors, amazing speeches, riveting gaffes. But this year, the drama kicked off ahead of time, starting when Kevin Hart was named as host then stepped down after homophobic tweets he sent out years ago were resurfaced.
The Academy did its level best to deliver an exciting show sans host, bringing in A-listers to present and lining up a rollicking roster of performers.
SHOW HIGHLIGHTS
The show kicked off with a bang, featuring Adam Lambert and Queen members Brian May and Roger Taylor in an explosive medley of “We Will Rock You” and “We Are the Champions.”
Tina Fey, Maya Rudolph and Amy Poehler kicked the show off by breaking the ice and poking fun at the show’s host-less status, all while celebrating Hollywood’s fresh embrace of female power and presenting the award for Outstanding Supporting Actress.
That first award went to Regina King for If Beale Street Could Talk. “To be standing here, representing one of the greatest artists of our time, (author) James Baldwin, it’s a little surreal,” she said. “I’m an example of when love is important to someone,” she added when thanking her mom. “God is good, all the time.”
Free Solo’s director Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi almost hyperventilating while accepting the award for Best Documentary Feature. “This film is for everyone who believes the impossible,” she said.
Melissa McCarthy and Bryan Tyree Henry certainly embraced their role as presenters of the Best in Costume Design Award, wearing a mash-up of outfits inspired by Queen Anne, Queen Elizabeth and Mary Poppins, with McCarthy completing the idiosyncratic look with stuffed animal puppet hands.
Black Panther’s Hannah Beachler becoming the first African-American woman to win best production design. “I stand here stronger than I was yesterday because of (director) Ryan Coogler,” she said.
Tyler Perry acknowledges the controversy over the Academy’s move (and then reversal on the move) to present behind-the-scenes Oscars during commercial breaks.
Jennifer Hudson belting out the Diane Warren-written “I’ll Fight,” a Best Original Song contender from the documentary RBG.
Roma winning Best Foreign Language Film. “I grew up watching foreign-language films, learning so much from them. Films like Citizen Kane, Jaws, Rashomon, The Godfather, ” said Mexican director Alfonso Cuaron. “The nominees tonight show that we are part of the same ocean.”
Bette Midler surrounded by flying umbrellas and looking (and sounding) every inch the diva as she sings “The Place Where Lost Things Go,” from Mary Poppins Returns.
Mahershala Ali winning Best Supporting Actor for the second time, this time for Green Book. “Trying to capture Dr. Shirley’s essence pushed me to my ends, which is a reflection of the person he was and the life that he lived,” Ali said, dedicating the award to his grandmother, “who has been in my ear my whole life. … I know I would not be here without her.”
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse nabs Best Animated Feature. “When we hear that somebody’s kid is watching the movie and says, ‘That looks like me’ … we feel we already won,” said producer Phil Lord.
Mike Myers and Dana Carvey introducing Bohemian Rhapsody in character from Wayne’s World. “We’re not worthy!”
When Pixar’s Bao wins Best Animated Short, director Rayka Zehtabchi enthused, “I can’t believe a film about menstruation just won an Oscar!”
Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga performing an absolutely riveting “Shallow” from A Star Is Born. They end the song side by side at the piano, heads nestled together, to a standing ovation.
Spike Lee finally getting an Oscar for Adapted Screenplay. The crowd erupted in applause when the BlacKkKlansman director won. He pointed out that this year is the 400th anniversary of slaves coming to Virginia: “We all connect with the ancestors who have love (and) wisdom to regain our humanity.” He then asked the crowd to mobilize for the next presidential election. “Let’s do the right thing! You know I had to get that in there.”
Lady Gaga snagging Best Original Song for “Shallow.” She thanked director and co-star Bradley Cooper, and told would-be performers: “It’s not about winning; what it’s about is not giving up.”
Rami Malek winning Best Actor for Bohemian Rhapsody. “My mom is in here somewhere. I love you, lady,” he said. “My dad didn’t get to see me do any of this but he’s looking down on me right now.” Malek also thanked “everyone who took a chance on me” to play Freddie Mercury: “I may not have been the obvious choice, but I guess it worked out.” He adds that the popularity of the movie “is proof that we’re longing for stories like this.”
Up for the third time to collect Best Director, Alfonso Cuaron admitted it “doesn’t get old.” He added: “I want to thank the Academy for recognizing a movie about an indigenous woman.”
Green Book pulling out a surprise win for Best Picture. “We made this film with love and with tenderness and with respect,” producer Jim Burke said, tacitly acknowledging the backlash. “The whole story is about love, and about loving our differences,” added director Peter Farrelly.

Animal Treatment Reform in NH
After a string of animal cruelty incidents over the last two years such as the Great Danes in Wolfeboro, the Labrador Retrievers in Marlborough, the Shepherds in Alexandria & Bristol, or the Cocker Spaniels in Dover, the Humane Society is hoping for some reform from New Hampshire. Lindsay Hamrick, the Humane Society’s New Hampshire Senior State Director, says the society fully backs SB161. The bill would clarify the definition of a pet vendor as an animal shelter, rescue, pet store, or breeder which transfers more than 20 live animals or birds used customarily as pets per year. Hamrick says clarifying that definition alone would go a long way in giving authorities the ability to oversee and react to situations immediately rather than having to wait until conditions for the animals have deteriorated into abuse.
Also being debated is HB688, a bill with more extensive changes. Hamrick says that the Humane Society hasn’t endorsed that measure but is interested in the debate surrounding it. She says that while the Humane Society doesn’t support HB688 at this time, they do like that it reinserts a law that was accidentally repealed that requires any animal transferred in New Hampshire to receive a health certificate signed by a NH Veterinarian that would verify that the animal is free from disease. She also says the Human Society is interested in a health certificate database that would be created by HB688 under the Department of Agriculture so they can better track the transfer of animals and ensure appropriate licensing is enforced.
Critics of HB688 point to the bill’s definition of a, ‘Hobby Breeder,’ which would involve people who transfer between 1 and 30 animal(s) per year. This provision would require almost anyone who transfers an animal to be registered under the Department of Agriculture. Hamrick says that the wide ranging impact of that provision has raised a lot of opposition. Click Here to find your legislative officials if you wish to contact them about these bills.

A Second Degree Murder in Madison
Authorities say a juvenile has been arrested and charged with second degree murder in shocking events out of Madison, New Hampshire this past weekend. Officers responded to a call at around 6:40 Friday evening (2/15) to reportedly find Melissa Hatch dead. The victim suffered multiple stab wounds including deep wounds to the neck according to the autopsy’s Chief Medical Examiner, Dr. Jennie V. Duval. Ms. Hatch was 42. Since the suspect is a juvenile, Police cannot give additional information about the individual that has been arrested at this time. Attorney General Gordon MacDonald’s office says the investigation is active and ongoing. Anyone with information on the homicide is asked to call New Hampshire State Police Sgt. Marc Beaudoin at 603-223-8678.
The community of Madison and the surrounding area is rallying in response to this tragedy. Friends have started a GoFundMe account for Melissa, nicknamed ‘Missy,’ and the children she left behind. The account, which can be found HERE, features donations and posts from family, friends, and people who have just been generally moved by the story. Media outlet InfoNH reports that the family dog was also injured in the attack and may have been trying to help defend the victim. River, a long-hair chihuahua, presumably sustained injuries during the attack. Since then, she has been through surgery and is in recovery. Donations can be made for River’s medical bills at THIS GoFundMe page.

9th Annual Cupcake Battle!
The 9th Annual Cupcake Battle was a huge success! The Annual benefit for Mt. Washington Valley Promotions sold out yesterday as hungry attendees tried an assortment of miniature cupcakes and determined which they liked best. There were eighteen total bakers competing in four separate categories: Spencer Kelly was best child baker. Hannah Thelemarck won best Teen Baker. Bette Muise took the award for best home baker, and Julie Tavares of Batter Up became a three time champion when she was awarded the win for the Professional baker category. Mt. Washington Valley Promotions Executive Director Lisa Dufault noted that it was the largest number of professional competitors in the event’s history. She says the event took in roughly $3,000, which is a little over $2,400 for the non-profit after the prize money is deducted. Event organizers are already looking forward to next year with the hopes that it will be as big.
Ms. Mount Washington Valley, MacKenzie Herlihy, presents the Teen Baker award to Hannah Thelemarck.
