Chief Ho-Sing-Loy was unavailable Friday but the head of Bethlehem's Board of Selectmen backed off the comments and told us the story's been blown out of proportion.
"We do not have and do not anticipate having any kind of curfew," says Dave Lovejoy.
The police chief in the town of Bethlehem, N.H., is asking town officials to impose a curfew for people under age 16 as a way to control vandalism.
Ted Reinstein meets the intriguing folks who are giving Bethlehem a makeover, including the owner of a home where everything is for sale.
Working in Plymouth will bring her closer to her home, something she thinks will be a good move for her. A majority of her professional work has been in the northern part of the state, having been the regional transportation and land use planner for the North Country Council Regional Planning Commission for 10 years in Bethlehem and serving as the executive director of the Northern White Mountain Chamber of Commerce in Berlin.
It's a shame that since the closing of the former Ammonoosuc Ranger District station on Trudeau Road in Bethlehem, no one has bothered to maintain the property. During a recent drive-by of the old Ammo headquarters I was dismayed to see that the U. S. Forest Service has allowed the once attractive property to take on all the characteristics of an unwanted and abandoned piece of real estate. With the front lawn unmowed, winter tree damage left as is, and virtually no upkeep whatsoever in evidence, it's hard to believe anyone will want to take this property if and when the government decides to sell it or give it away…
If you believe that the end justifies the means, then you don't believe in constitutional government.
A sampling of the many items - they have yet to be catalogued or appraised - are on display at the new maple museum in the White Mountains town of Bethlehem. The museum tells the story of the enterprise, innovations that have improved the process through the years, how to recognize different maple trees and facts about sap gathering and tree age.

The big news on Mount Washington right now actually hails from Canada. Several wildfires broke out in Quebec last week, and southerly winds carried the thick, hazy smoke to the White Mountains and beyond. The result was extremely low visibility and reports of a wood fire smell as far south as Boston. Luckily, today’s rain is helping firefighters contain the blaze, which has already claimed more than 250,000 acres.
Considering the warm, dry conditions of late, it’s easy to see how the fires got started. May ended with just 3.44” of precipitation on the summit, which is less than half of the 8.21” average. A new record high of 65 degrees was set on the 25th (destroying the 61-degree record from 2007) and another record high of 59 degrees was matched on the 26th. Thank goodness the cold and fog returned today—with all the sun and warm temperatures, our crew might have forgotten where they were!

Basically, businesses will have to issue 1099s whenever they do more than $600 of business with another entity in a year. For the $14 trillion U.S. economy, that’s a hell of a lot of 1099s. When a business buys a $1,000 used car, it will have to gather information on the seller and mail 1099s to the seller and the IRS. When a small shop owner pays her rent, she will have to send a 1099 to the landlord and IRS. Recipients of the vast flood of these forms will have to match them with existing accounting records. There will be huge numbers of errors and mismatches, which will probably generate many costly battles with the IRS.
The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (DES) told the town two weeks ago it is in noncompliance with requirements that its old dump be monitored for 30 years after it was capped.

An FBI agent who led the investigation of nine Michigan militia members charged with trying to launch war against the federal government couldn't recall many details of the two-year probe yesterday during questioning by defense lawyers.
Even the judge who must decide whether to release the nine until trial was puzzled.
"I share the frustrations of the defense team … that she doesn't know anything," U.S. District Judge Victoria Roberts said after agent Leslie Larsen confessed she hadn't reviewed her notes recently and couldn't remember specific details of the case.
The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department says 46-year-old Peter Murphy of Littleton was found by a White Mountain National Forest employee as snow fell shortly before 4:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Gale River area of Bethlehem.
