This year, it s a little disappointing because we re not going to have the same activity right here close to derby headquarters, but nobody catches a fish out here anyway, but that s part of the atmosphere so that s a little disappointing to us but again, overall it s a fishing derby so we re hoping that we see some nice fish come in. Tom in general the state says 68 inches of solid ice is needed for it to be safe. M shelley right now, distressing new numbers on the heroin epidemic in New Hampshire. There are 60 potential deadly drug overdoses from 2016 alone, 3 confirmed. This, after a record 420 people died of opioid overdoses in 2014. Our stephanie woods is live in studio, with scary news for the queen city. Amr says february could be the overdoses in the city s history. They say they respond to an average of 2 heroin or fentanyl overdoses every day. Says she doesn t know what the solution is, but people need to pay attention. He was a great kid, he was funny, he got into some trouble. S son richie fell into the wrong group of friends, tried cocaine. Someone suggested taking an oxycontin and he just went to sleep. Stephanie riley then became a counselor at hope for New Hampshire recovery in manchester to give other addicts had a but last week 7 of her recovering addicts had died by likely overdosing on opiods. S very challenging as a person who has been through this and saw so many lives devastated by this. Once my son died, then what happens, it s a whole Ripple Effect to the family. I lost my house, i got divorced, my daughter had to change schools, just so many things happened. Stephanie manchester American Medical Response has responded to 51 suspected drug overdoses in february alone. 12 of them deadly. If these deaths are confirmed by the medical examiner, february will be tied for the deadliest opiod overdose month in queen city history. Rocco caprarello compares that to last february when amr responded to 38 overdoses and lost 5 people.

Shelley to commitment 2016, new Jersey Governor Chris Christie says his decision of who to support in the president ial race was and easy one and he chose to support donald trump. The former president ial candidate surprised many republicans with today s endorsement. And it comes just days before the big super tuesday contests. Donald trump says he and new have been friends for years. And that this endorsement means a lot to him. At a News Conference friday, christie said the feeling was mutual. Mr. Christie donald and i, along with melania and mary pat have been friends for over a decade. Shelley christie praised trump s candidacy in the gop nomination process. Mr. Christie there is no one who is better prepared to provide american with strong leadership that it needs both at home and around the world than donald trump. Shelley christie showed up unannounced in texas friday, at a hastily called News Conference. He called donald trump the best person to beat Hillary Clinton in a race for the white house. Then trump and christie took turns sticking it to marco rubio, who rattled trump in a cnn debate thursday night. The new york billionaire, struck back by making fun of rubio, mr. Trump when they put marco on to refute president obama s speech, do you remember that catastrophe . And he s like this, and we will m shelley as for christie s endorsement, political pundits say governor christie is clearly ambitious. We know that christie certainly has national ambitions, he also might want to be attorney general, he might also want to just position potential Trump Campaign or trump presidency. S endorsement was also a great way to get back at political nemesis marco rubio. It s pretty clear that there is some bad blood between christie and rubio. I ve never really seen anything quite like that debate exchange between christie and rubio last month here in New Hampshire. So if it s personal then endorsing donald trump the day after rubio seemed to get in a few licks during yesterday s debate i think is a good way to do that. Shelley trump picked up another endorsement today as well, republican maine governor paul lepage. He originally backed christie s campaign.
