Together With Veterans Update
Last October Magic 104 spoke with former Army Captain Ray Gilmore, who was involved with a project called, “Together With Veterans.” The plan was to address Veteran Suicide by building social support networks within New Hampshire communities. If successful, methods developed in this program will be used in preventing suicide with other demographics. Gilmore says that there’s progress since our October meeting. Together With Veterans is planning on assessing the Berlin, Gorham area on January 10th before they begin to offer training for local residents in February. The plan is to start in more populated communities and then build connections into the more rural areas surrounding them. He also says the project has added retired Navy Commander Steven Wyrsch to their lineup. Ray says, “His experience as both a veteran and healthcare executive will be crucial in helping to establish some standard practices across the north country to tighten up the safety net in the community.”

‘JUMANJI: THE NEXT LEVEL’ RAKES IN $52 MILLION – (12/16/2019)
Jumanji: The Next Level scored $52.4 million in box office receipts for the opening weekend. Worldwide, it reached $196 million.
“There is a lot to like with Next Level, starting with the returning cast. The Rock, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, and Karen Gillan are all adored by family-friendly moviegoing audiences. And, for the most part, fans are liking the change of pace with the ‘something’s wrong with the game’ storyline. Even Ozzy Osbourne’s song featured in the trailer is getting some call-outs. All in all, the discussion leans heavily positive for a sequel that had such an entertaining predecessor – not to mention all the super-social cast returning and some new faces like Awkwafina added, too,” says social media monitor RelishMix.
Frozen 2 landed in the second slot with $19.2 million, and Knives Out grabbed $9.1 million, scoring third place.
Meanwhile, the Clint Eastwood-helmed Richard Jewell and the horror film Black Christmas snagged $4.9 million and $4.5 million respectively, below the expected $10 million apiece, for the fourth and fifth slot.

Local Author Will Donate Sales of Children’s Book to the Salvation Army in Berlin, NH
Local Author Mark Roberts stopped by The Magic Morning Show today to talk with Gino about his children’s book; Doug The Waterbug’s First Christmas. Mark grew up in Milan, NH and wanted to help out the local food pantries that work over with the Berlin, NH Salvation Army. Mark will be giving 100% of the proceeds earned from his book to the Salvation Army.
The Salvation Army has been part of Berlin for 133 years. They serve individuals and families from Berlin and the surrounding communities. The soup kitchen is now up and running after a 3 year hiatus. During that hiatus, they were able to replace and upgrade their appliances. Since reopening, they have already served over 215 meals and are looking to serve many more. They also have summer programs as well as Christmas Assistance and an Angel Tree program. Last year they served over 100 children, gave out 93 food baskets, and over $10,000 worth of toys, so every dollar counts.

KHS Bomb Prank
In what authorities now believe to be a prank, Kennett High School took precautionary measures yesterday to handle an alleged bomb threat on the school. The Conway Daily Sun reports the threat was found on an unassigned computer and stated a plan to attack the school this Friday afternoon. Kennett High School officials told the Daily Sun that the High School was cleared after school, and bomb-sniffing dogs were brought into the High School. They say a heightened police presence will remain for a short time. Officials say the student responsible for the message has been identified and they believe the alleged threat was actually a prank. Anyone with pertinent information is still asked to contact the Conway Police Department.
Here is the original press release from the Conway Police Department:
Remembering Juice WRLD
Rapper Juice WRLD died yesterday (December 8th) after suffering a seizure at Chicago’s Midway airport. He was 21. TMZ broke the news, reporting that the rapper flew into Chicago early Sunday morning from Los Angeles. After departing the plane, witnesses say he suffered a seizure while walking through the airport. Law enforcement sources said that the rapper was bleeding from his mouth when the paramedics arrived.
Juice was still conscious when he was transported to the hospital, but was pronounced dead a short time later at the hospital. The cause of death is unclear at this time.
According to The Jasmine Brand, Chicago PD released a statement regarding the rapper’s death, saying “There were no signs of foul play and all individuals aboard the aircraft are cooperating with CPD and have given all of their information. Currently we are awaiting the Cook County medical examiner on the cause and manner of death.”
The rapper’s record label Interscope Geffen released a statement, saying, “Juice made a profound impact on the world in such a short period of time. He was a gentle soul, whose creativity knew no bounds, an exceptional human being and artist who loved and cared for his fans above everything else. To lose someone so kind and so close to our hearts is devastating. Our thoughts are with Juice’s family and friends, everyone at his label Grade A, and his millions of fans around the world.”
The rapper, born Jarad Anthony Higgins just turned 21 on December 2nd.

BIO
Juice WRLD was born Jarad Anthony Higgins in Chicago on December 2nd, 1998. As a child, Higgins’s mom was religious so he was not allowed to listen to hip-hop. He learned how to play the piano at age 4, followed by guitar and drums. He also played the trumpet for band class. Higgins started to take rap seriously during his sophomore year in high school, as he started posting songs to his SoundCloud which he recorded on his cell phone.
During high school, he also came up with the name Juice WRLD. He once revealed that the name was inspired by Tupac‘s role in Juice and “taking over the world.
In 2017, the rapper released his debut full-length EP 999 with the song “Lucid Dreams” garnering major attention.
The song led to him signing to Lil Bibby‘s Grade A Productions record label
In December 2017, he released another EP called Nothings Different. His song “All Girls Are the Same” remix featuring Lil Yachty gained popularity which led to him bein signed to Interscope Records.
In 2018, he released his debut album Goodbye & Good Riddance. The song “Lucid Dreams” was officially released as a single and it went six times platinum. It made it no. 2 on the Billboard Charts. One month after releasing Goodbye & Good Riddance, Juice released the two track EP, “Too Soon” and it featured a song called “Legends,” a tribute to Lil Peep and XXXTentacion. On the song, he raps about the rapper’s deaths, saying, “What’s the 27 club? We ain’t making it past 21.”

In May, he was named Top New Artist at the Billboard Music Awards.
Juice had been open about his struggles with drug addiction. Back in July, he tweeted to his girlfriend Ally Lotti that he was done with codeine. He wrote, “Bae I’m sorry I be tweaking, you’ve put up with more than ppl know I know I be scaring you, f*ck Codeine I’m done. I love you and im letting it be known publicly that ain’t sh*t f*cking up the real love I found. Learn from this everyone. Addiction kills all but you can overcome.”

9% Ski Lift Tax
The NH Legislature will be taking up debate of a bill that would impose a 9% tax on ski lift tickets next month. The proposed tax would go towards creating a scholarship program for New Hampshire students to attend in-state colleges and universities. Supporters of the bill say students are leaving the state to go to college because of in-state tuition costs. Opponents say it’s likely to kill ski tourism in the state. If the bill passes New Hampshire would have the highest ski tax in the northeast. Valley resident and skiing enthusiast, Kevin Hamlin says he’s not a fan of the idea. “I don’t like it. I don’t know how that will affect people coming up. I mean, ski passes are already getting expensive as it is and to tax people to come up just to ski and enjoy the mountains and do something they love is- that’s getting a little out of control, I think.” New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu says he would veto any such bill as soon as it landed on his desk. He says it’s “another example of extremism of this legislature.”
