Robert Frost Charter School To Move To Salyards
Conway, NH – The Robert Frost Charter School has found a new home. According to an email released to families and staff of the school a lease agreement has been finalized between the School and the Salyards building in Conway Village for the 2017-2018 School Year.
The email sent out by Don Germain of the Schools Board of Trustees stated, “ the centrally located facility is spacious, bright, and conducive to the varied needs of our instructional program.”
The School had originally planned to move into the old home of the Journey Church on East Main Street in Conway, but those plans were canceled due to unforeseen circumstance.
The Robert Frost Charter School vacated its former location in a building on the property that is now the new Settlers Street Side after this past school year ended.
The School is a public charter school, which blends the instructional strategy of Project-Based Learning with the Montessori educational philosophy and curriculum.

Early Morning Tractor-Trailer Crash Shuts Down Route 302 In Fryeburg
Fryeburg, ME – A section of Route 302 in Fryeburg was closed this morning after a tractor-trailer accident. According to Fryeburg Police at 1:55am an 18-wheeler struck a large tree that had fallen completely across the roadway due to recent storms. The 31-year-old driver was uninjured. The tree had punctured both fuel tanks and was leaking diesel fuel onto the ground.
Fryeburg Fire Department contained the fuel spill until Maine Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) arrived to assist and Fryeburg Rescue was staged in the area as a safety precaution due to the leakage. Maine Department of Transportation (MDOT) responded to remove the tree and tend to damaged guardrails.
Fryeburg Police Chief Joshua Potvin said “Fortunately nobody was injured in this crash. There are no street lights on this section of roadway making it nearly impossible to avoid collision with the downed tree. After confirming the driver had no injuries, our second concern was containing the diesel fuel leak that is in close proximity to Manchester Brook which leads to the Saco River. Fryeburg Fire Department and their mutual aid did an excellent job containing the fuel leak to avoid water contamination.”
The Chief added ““The Mashpee, Massachusetts based Forestry Product Company, Govoni Forestry Products was unloaded at the time of the crash and was enroute to Casco Maine to pick up a load of woodchips. Investigators had Route 302 closed for approximately 5 hours.”

NY Woman Seriously Injured In ATV Accident In Dixville
Dixville, NH – A New York Woman was seriously injured in an ATV accident in Dixville Notch yesterday. Fish and Game Officials said that 26-year-old Ashalee James of Central Islip New York was driving a rented ATV on Flume Brook Trail at the rear of a group when her riding party noticed her missing at around 1:04pm. They attempted to find her for about 30 minutes.
Another group or riders on the trail discovered the crash scene and an injured James at the bottom of a 60 foot embankment. The good Samaritans called 9-1-1 and rendered aid to James then transported her out to Route 26 to an awaiting ambulance.
James was transported to a helicopter landing zone at Upper Connecticut Valley Hospital in Colebrook, where she was immediately transferred into a DHART helicopter and airlifted to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon with serious but non-life threatening injuries.
Authorities said that due to sustaining a loss of consciousness, James could not remember any details about the crash, and the incident was not directly witnessed by any other riders.
James was wearing a full-faced helmet and eye protection at the time of the crash. Authorities believe that alcohol was not a factor in the crash and that operator inexperience was a likely contributor to the incident.
Good Samaritans, New Hampshire State Police, 45th Parallel EMS, Colebrook Fire/Rescue and DHART personnel assisted Conservation Officers with the incident.
2017 Memorial Hospital Open Golf Tournament Grosses Over $50,000 to Support Let’s Go Childhood Wellness Program
MaineHealth CEO Bill Caron turned out to support our community’s Let’s Go school program, shown here with tournament director Paul Keane and committee chair Bayard Kennett at the July 20th event.
NORTH CONWAY, NH – Golfers took to the greens at the Wentworth Golf Course in Jackson, NH last week as part of the 37th Annual Memorial Hospital Open Golf Tournament. The event grossed over $50,000 to support “Let’s Go,” the hospital’s initiative to bring health and wellness education and activities to school-aged children throughout Mt. Washington Valley.
The tournament was founded in 1980 by former NH congressman, the honorable Bill Zeliff. In its early years, the event often saw the likes of Governor John H. Sununu, White House Chief of Staff under President George H.W. Bush, and father of now-Governor Chris Sununu.
Now in 2017, the Sununu family turned out once again for the North Conway hospital’s cause, with John Sununu and wife Nancy playing in the tournament with Memorial’s president and CEO Scott McKinnon, and Governor Chris Sununu making an appearance at the awards dinner.
The event benefits Memorial’s Let’s Go program. The program serves 12 sites around the Mt. Washington Valley such as schools, pre-schools and daycare centers, to help them work towards receiving official “Let’s Go” program certification. Let’s Go is an evidence based program that works to reduce childhood obesity through better nutrition, more exercise and less screen time. The results are impressive. At “Let’s Go” sites’ school, child care and after school programs, almost 2,000 students were impacted by “Let’s Go”. Schools and sites are limiting unhealthy choices for snacks and celebrations, eliminating sugary beverages and limiting recreational screen time.
Last year, the event raised over $52,000 which supported the program. The event has raised over $850,000 over its long history, purchasing many pieces of life saving equipment and supporting community health programs.
