North Brookfield, Mass. woman dies after N.H. snowmobile crash – The Boston Globe


A North Brookfield woman died early Saturday morning after a snowmobile crash in Milan, N.H. Friday afternoon, near the Berlin, N.H. town line, according to officials.

Shawnee Hollis, 39, died at a hospital hours after she was seriously injured when she crashed into a tree off of Primary Trail 109 in Milan, according to a statement from New Hampshire Fish and Game.

Just before 4:30 p.m. Friday, Hollis was riding with three friends on individual snowmobiles when she missed a downhill left turn and struck a tree about 13 feet off the right side of the trail, the statement said.

A Fish and Game conservation officer from Lancaster and Berlin police officers hiked to the crash from the end of Spruceville Road in Milan, meeting other rescue crews at the scene, according to the statement.

Rescuers secured Hollis in a Berlin Fire utility task vehicle and transferred her to an ambulance on Spruceville Road, the statement said. Crews tried to get a rescue helicopter or airplane to help transport her, but “due to many circumstances” they were unable to fly.

Hollis was driven to Androscoggin Valley Hospital in Berlin and then transferred to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, where she died at around 1:45 a.m. Saturday, according to the statement.

Inexperience was the leading factor in the crash, the statement said.

Concord City Manager Receives ‘Satisfactory’ Review, 2.5% Raise, But Sabbatical Request Gets Trimmed

Concord City Manager Receives ‘Satisfactory’ Review, 2.5% Raise, But Sabbatical Request Gets Trimmed


Schultz said she “highly respects” Aspell, too, but there was a “dissonance between reality” when eyeing what the public and city employees were earning.

Ward 6 City Council Aislinn Kalob, too, would not be voting for the increase, saying it had been “heavily on my mind since we’ve had our nonpublic sessions,” which lasted about six hours of work. She appreciated Kretovic clearly outlining the job of city manager. But people were frustrated with the city manager, and she saw that in the comments in online forums.

“I do feel, after really digging into this, and learning about his job,” she said, “and thinking toward the future when, eventually, at some point, somebody new will be sitting in that seat, we are the ones who direct policy and he is the one that implements it… there is anger out there that should be directed more toward us.”

Kalob said, too, a room full of firefighters, upset about their contract, also made voting for the wage increase something she could not consider.

Michele Horne of Ward 2 echoed similar concerns to Schultz, saying there was significant “wage disparity” between the public and staff and the city manager. She also agreed with Kalob’s point that previous councils created this contract.
