The Pequawket Foundation just pledged $5,000 to the North Conway Public Library’s capital campaign to renovate and expand their historic building in North Conway village. Built in 1911, the building was previously enlarged in 1917 and 1988. The library said in a press release they plan on expanding the size once again as well as the function and technology of the library. Board President for the library Neill Osgood says the library is going to have a new community room while also enlarging the children’s areas, adding an office for the library director and wants to make the library ADA compliant. He says the donation from the Pequawket Foundation helps with the renovation and the expansion but that more money is needed to install state-of-the-art infrastructure such as computers, lighting, furniture, and educational materials.

US Senators Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire and Susan Collins of Maine are teaming up to try and combat the rising cost of insulin. The Insulin Price Reduction Act is a bill being put together in the Senate to combat the rising costs for the drug which they say has quadrupled in out-of-pocket costs since 2007. The bill would prohibit rebates going to Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) for insulin unless the pharmacy dropped their price for the drug to pre-2007 levels. It would also require that PBMs and insurers waive the deductible for any insulin product that meets the listed price reduction requirements each year. In announcing the bill Shaheen said, “Rebates have been a significant factor in what’s driving insulin prices higher, but we know we cannot simply restrict rebates with no strings attached for big pharma – there needs to be accountability.” Collins stated she was committed to making the cost of insulin more affordable and said she sees the bill as a necessary step towards that end.

A New York hiker suffered a head injury while hiking in the Dry River Wilderness this past Saturday. New Hampshire Fish and Game say 58-year-old Denise Blank was hiking the Dry River Trail when she slipped down an embankment and injured her head around 10:30am. Lacking cell reception, a member of her group hiked three and a half miles to make a call for help. Conservation Officers, Bartlett Fire Department, SOLO Wilderness Medicine, Lakes Region Search and Rescue, the Appalachian Mountain Club, Androscoggin Valley Search and Rescue and the US Forest Service all responded to the call. Denise was placed in a litter and carried back to the trailhead shortly before 7:00 in the evening. She was taken to Memorial Hospital by the Bartlett Jackson Ambulance. Authorities say Denise and her group were well prepared for the conditions.
