After several appointments, Brennan was referred to Mass General due to the size of the mass. Because of its size and how deep into his brain the AVM is, it cannot be removed, so radiation therapy will be used to try to shrink it in hopes of preventing his symptoms from getting worse. To add to his struggle, an aneurysm was found on his AVM, which requires monitoring and possibly future surgical repair. Brennan faces a long and difficult road ahead and it will be years before he knows if the radiation treatment is effective. Brennan’s treatment requires mul- tiple trips to Boston and several consecutive days of radiation treatment. The Alton Police Association and the Alton Business Association have partnered to bring an entertaining fundraiser to Prospect Mountain High School on Sept. 21, when the world famous Harlem Wizards will be return- ing. This show will feature several of the Harlem Wizards players playing against school faculty and staff from both Prospect Mountain High School and Alton Central School as well as Alton police officers. All proceeds will go to Brennan to aid in his mounting medical costs and trips back and forth to Boston. The Harlem Wizards have a unique mission, to create awe-inspiring events throughout the country. Fans will witness amazing basketball tal- ent combined with hilarious comedy. It’s two hours of family time where parents, grandparents, and kids can all laugh together. When you’re in the stands, you’re more than a spectator, you’re part of the show with loads of audience participation. Throughout the game, fans will experience a magical display of tricks, coordinated ball handling, fancy passing and aerodynamic athleticism combined with high-energy comedy and audi- ence interaction. The experience can only be summed up in two words: awe-inspiring. Tickets may be purchased online in advance for a discount by going to www.harlemwizards.com, or can be purchased at the door. There will also be a Harlem Wizards merchandising table and concessions available to purchase on-site.

WATERVILLE VALLEY — The Black Bear Half Marathon will return to Wa- terville Valley this Labor Day weekend in support of the Waterville Valley Ele- mentary School (WVES) PTA. The race will travel the Valley’s scenic roads and trails and competitors will enjoy the gorgeous White Mountain National Forest. The schedule includes a full lineup of races throughout the morning for ev- eryone in the family to enjoy. Athletes will be challenged in the forested half marathon, cruise through the dirt packed 5K, or find their pace in the one-mile fun run. While racers are chasing down the finish line, spectators will find plen- ty of fun and games with vendors and activities all around Town Square. The race organizers also welcome businesses and groups to join in the event as sponsors, vendors, or to otherwise support the cause. Contributing support- ers will, among other benefits, be gratefully recognized prior to and at the event around Town Square during a packed holiday weekend. Organizers are excited to include WV BBTS, NH Electric Coop, C2 Systems, The Coyote Grill, and La Hacienda among their early supporters. Athletes and families can sign up for the races at www.runreg.com/black- bear-half-marathon and find more info by visiting our Facebook page at www. facebook.com/blackbearhalf. The WVES PTA strives to connect their school community with those in the surrounding White Mountain area, while empowering their students in explo- ration and adventure. Your contribution will help provide scholarships and services for families in need, support the school’s annual out-of-state education- al trip, and engage students in community events essential to greater civic in- volvement.

LAST YEAR, 705 KIDS WERE ABDUCTED BY A MOUSE.

A simple click is all it takes to give a child molester internet access to your children – access that can actually lead to abduction. Reports of such incidents are everywhere as predators keep getting better at seeking out new victims. The good news is that we keep getting better at fighting back. At the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, we have created the CyberTipline in partnership with the FBI, U.S. Customs Service, Postal Inspection Service and Secret Service. To report child sexual exploitation, call the police. Then call us at 1-800-843-5678 or contact us at www.cybertipline.com. We work with law enforcement professionals who are ready to track down these criminals and bring them to justice. So do your part to help. Look out for your children online. If you don’t, there are plenty of predators who will.
