PARK CITY, UT (Jan. 20) – An Olympic veteran and two newcomers highlight the three-athlete 2010 U.S. Olympic Ski Jumping Team announced Thursday by the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association.
Anders Johnson (Park City, UT), 20, a 2006 Olympic veteran, will be joined by first-time Olympians Nick Alexander (Lebanon, NH), 21, and Peter Frenette (Saranac Lake, NY), 17.
The Team was announced by U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association (USSA) President and CEO Bill Marolt, along with Olympic and Team sponsor Visa. The USA had earned three Olympic quota spots based on World Cup results.
Alexander, who grew up jumping in the Lebanon (NH) Outing Club, broke onto the world jumping scene this year qualifying to compete in six International Ski Federation (FIS) World Cups. The 2010 U.S. champion was the top American in the FIS Continental Cup last season and the current American leader after strong results in Neustadt, Germany in mid-January.
A Lake Placid native, Frenette jumps out of the New York Ski Educational Foundation. He has been a regular on the Continental Cup with three point-scoring finishes this season highlighted by a top-20 on the final weekend of selection in Sapporo, Japan. Johnson, who made the 2006 Olympic Team at the age of 16, suffered a knee injury in July but has made a comeback, breaking into the points twice in the Sapporo Continental Cup.
The Team will be coached by former East German jumper Jochen Danneberg, a 1976 Olympic silver medalist who works with the athletes as a part of the Project X jumping program.
All Olympic Teams are subject to the approval of the U.S. Olympic Committee.

The Alpine Clinic began seeing patients at its new medical office building in Franconia on November 2nd. There has been an overwhelming response of congratulations from almost everyone who walks in the doors. From patients, to family and friends, it is clear that The Alpine Clinic prides itself on quality, service, and development.
For almost two years, Drs. O’Neill, Chen, and MacArthur have been making their dream a reality to build a flagship medical office building where they can provide their patients with all the conveniences of a modern orthopaedic medical practice, and where they can house a central location for their ongoing clinical research. The new medical office building will facilitate The Alpine Clinic’s goals of becoming New England’s premier provider of orthopaedic services, and to continue their ongoing pursuit of scholarship, research, and evidence based practice.
Additionally, The Alpine Clinic is pleased to announce that it is leasing a section of their new building to PainCare, which is a very successful and well established pain management practice with several locations in southern New Hampshire. Dr. Michael O’Connell, the owner of PainCare, has recognized that residents of Northern New Hampshire deserve to have access to the expertise and quality of an elite pain management practice. He is proud to announce the expansion of his practice to Plymouth and Franconia. For more information on PainCare, please see their website- www.painmd.com

Dr. O’Neill and his assistant Mia (Simone) Whalley will be traveling to Durham to meet with a new group of students that have been accepted into the Athletic Training program at UNH. This will be their 3rd year presenting to this eager group of students.
Not only will they provide a PowerPoint presentation on knee injuries, but they will also offer a hands-on clinic on how to diagnose knee injuries. Athletic Trainers are usually the first on the field during an athlete’s injury, so the proper education on how to examine these athletes is essential.
This year Dr. O’Neill is proud to show off his newly published book KNEE SURGERY: The Essential Guide to Total Knee Recovery, which was published just one month after his presentation with the students last year.
