A Havahart trap was set, and the waiting game began.

Taylor Swift Wins 3 American Music Awards Including Artist Of The Year… Here’s Your AMA Recap!
In a pre-recorded speech, Taylor Swift accepted Artist of The Year at last night’s (11-22) American Music Awards. She thanked her fans and apologized for not being there, stating that she was in the studio re-recording her old music. She also won Music Video and Female Artist of the Year.
The show opened with Justin Bieber and a dramatic performance of “Lonely,” and “Holy.” He was then joined by Shawn Mendes, who came back in the second hour of the show to perform again. Bieber won in 3 categories, Favorite Male Artist, Favorite Country Song, and Collaboration of the Year. The latter two he shared with Dan + Shay, who also picked up Favorite Country Duo.
Also winning 3 AMA’s, The Weeknd, performed and accepted while wearing a large, white bandage that covered nearly his entire head and face. It was never mentioned on the show, which was confusing, however, fans online assumed that it was part of a promotion for his album, in which he sports a bloodied nose on the cover.
Doja Cat took home New Artist and Favorite Soul/R&B Female Artist.
BTS performed from Korea and won Favorite Social Artist and Favorite Group.
From the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, actress/host Taraji P. Henson danced onto the stage with a medley of songs including “Let’s Go Crazy” by Prince. Except for life-size cut-outs of artists like Beyonce, Stevie Nicks, and Dolly Parton, the downstairs of the theatre was empty. Small groups from the same families were allowed in the balcony. Socially distanced, they were all wearing masks, and covid tested. Henson called it “Our small, but mighty, covid-free audience.”
HIGHLIGHTS:
(10x Platinum, GRAMMY-nominated) Bebe Rexha and Doja Cat performed “Baby I’m Jealous.”
BTS performed from South Korea. It looked like a live performance until they suddenly were wearing different clothes.
The Weeknd dedicated his win for Best Album for R&B to his hero Prince. He later performed with Kenny G.
Dan + Shay made their AMA performance debut.
PERFORMANCES:
Bell Biv Devoe who made their AMA debut 30 years ago, returned to perform “Do Me,” and “Poison.”
Billie Eilish performed “Therefore I am” socially distanced from her band. The band members were wearing masks.
Megan Thee Stallion world premiered a song from her debut album, Good News.
(5 time AMA winner) Katy Perry, and Darius Rucker swapped lyrics for her song “Only Love.” Just the two of them on stage. Darius also played acoustic guitar.
Lewis Capaldi gave a slowed down performance of “Before You Go.”
Lil Baby made his AMA debut with a live performance of “Emotionally Scarred.”
Justin Bieber sang “Lonely,” and he backed it up with “Holy.” And before the audience stopped clapping Shawn Mendes joined him on stage.
Shawn Mendes returned in the second hour to sing “I Wonder.”
24KGoldn with Iann Dior performed “Mood.”
Dua Lipa performed “Levitating.” At the end of the song… it looked like she was actually levitating.
Jennifer Lopez and Maluma world premiered “Pa’ Ti” and “Lonely.”
Dan + Shay performed “I Should Probably Go To Bed.”

North Conway Named #1 Ski Town in North America by USA TODAY’s 10BEST
North Conway, NH – North Conway has once again been named the #1 ski town in North America by USA TODAY’s 10Best.com. Competing against such well known ski towns as Aspen, Breckenridge and Jackson Hole, North Conway took top honors in the number one spot among those who voted in the 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards Travel Contest which took place over the past month. In addition, Jackson XC was included in the 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards for the Best XC Ski Resort, coming in fifth out of the top ten XC ski centers in North America.
The number one ski town designation for North Conway has a legacy. Since 2016, North Conway has been nominated for the esteemed title of Best Ski Town by 10Best. For a number of years, they held the #1 spot until 2018 when they were named #2. This served to motivate the chamber to get out the vote, and with help from skiers and riders throughout the USA, North Conway regained it’s title as the #1 ski town this year.
“To be named the number one ski town in all of North America is a huge honor and feather in our cap, especially when we see the company we’re in among ski towns across North America” commented Janice Crawford, Executive Director of the Mt Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce. “Between the 13 ski resorts and XC Centers we offer, along with on-mountain recreation for non-skiers, snowmobiling, dog sledding, sleigh rides, ice skating, and all the backcountry recreation of the White Mountains, we believe we have earned the designation of not only best ski town but best winter town too. And with Jackson XC on the 10Best XC Ski Resort list, Mt Washington Valley is certainly the premier winter destination this year” added Crawford. “We simply ask skiers who come to visit our destination to wear masks and respect the new safety measures put in place at ski resorts and other businesses throughout town,” finished Crawford.
According to 10Best editors, “Someday, we’ll all be ready to pack our suitcases again and head out on our next adventures. In the meantime, we’ll keep supporting the places that inspire us. What makes a great ski town? Some would say it’s convenient access to the slopes, for others, maybe it’s the variety of restaurants, bars, shops and accommodations. Yet others might gravitate toward a small town vibe or historic atmosphere.” The editors followed up this observation with a message to us in North Conway. “Since this nomination was carefully made by an expert panel, and the public voted for this honor, you have earned some serious bragging rights!”
The top ten winners in the USA TODAY/10Best Reader’s Choice Awards for Best Ski Town are as follows:

Governor Chris Sununu Issues Statewide Mask Mandate for New Hampshire
Concord, NH — With rising cases, substantial statewide community transmission, and an increase in hospitalizations, today Governor Chris Sununu signed an Emergency Order instituting a statewide mask mandate in New Hampshire, as cases rose to 529 — the state’s highest total to date. The mask mandate takes effect at 12:01 AM on Friday, November 20, 2020, and will remain in effect through January 15, 2021.
“With rising cases, substantial statewide community transmission, and an increase in hospitalizations – the data supports enacting a statewide mask mandate,” said Governor Chris Sununu. “Instituting this commonsense mask mandate today will allow us to keep our economy open and help ensure our health care system has the capacity and workforce it needs in the coming weeks. By wearing a mask, Granite Staters can keep our friends, family, neighbors, and critical workforce members and those they care for safe – without shutting down the economy.”
Beginning on November 20, 2020, all persons over the age of 5 within the State of New Hampshire shall wear mask or cloth face coverings over their noses and mouths any time they are in public spaces, indoors or outdoors, where they are unable to or do not consistently maintain a physical distance of at least six feet from persons outside their own households.
For purposes of this Order, the term “public spaces” includes any part of private or public property that is generally open or accessible to members of the general public. Public spaces include, but are not limited to, lobbies, waiting areas, outside plazas or patios, restaurants, retail businesses, streets, sidewalks, parks, beaches, elevators, restrooms, stairways, parking garages, etc.

Drug Related Arrest in North Conway
On Wednesday, November 18, 2020, at approximately 2:30pm an off duty Conway Police Department Officer observed Christopher Burnell, 37 years old, Chatham, NH in the drive-thru at a local restaurant in North Conway. Christopher Burnell was known to have an open felony arrest warrant in the State of New Hampshire for Felon in Possession of a Dangerous Weapon as defined by NH RSA 159:3. After leaving the drive-thru, Christopher Burnell was observed entering a local hotel. Conway Police Department officers responded to the hotel and located Christopher Burnell in a first floor room which had been rented by a female friend. When officers approached the door of the room, Christopher Burnell retreated to the bathroom inside the room, locked the door and refused to come out for the officers after being repeatedly informed that there was an open warrant for his arrest. The room was secured by several Conway Police Department officers. After approximately 25 minutes of communication through the bathroom door, Christopher Burnell opened the door and officers were able to take him into custody without further incident. Christopher Burnell was transported to Memorial Hospital by North Conway Ambulance for evaluation as it appeared that he was under the influence of drugs. A search warrant was executed on the room where Christopher Burnell was located. Approximately 115 grams of what is believed to be heroin/fentanyl and a large amount of drug paraphernalia was seized from the room.
Christopher Burnell was released from the hospital later that evening and transported to the Carroll County House of Corrections on the open warrant for his arrest. The Conway Police Department will be adding the additional charges of Possession of Controlled/Narcotic Drugs with the intent to Distribute as defined by NH RSA 318-B:2, Falsifying Physical Evidence as defined by NH RSA 641:6 and Resisting Arrest or Detention as defined by NH RSA 642:2.
Christopher Burnell has a lengthy criminal history to include several arrests for possession of controlled drugs.
Christopher Burnell is scheduled to appear before the Ossipee Superior Court on Thursday afternoon for a bail hearing.
