An early-morning fire at Camp Cody on Ossipee Lake Monday demolished a multiple-use building that had been used as a wood shop over the summer and set up as a chapel for an incoming church group. Nobody was hurt in the blaze.

There was that famous New York Daily News “Drop Dead” headline when Gerald Ford’s administration told the city that it wouldn’t bail out the financially troubled Big Apple. Our state government treated the people of Tamworth with far more disdain in March.

Sen. John Gallus is standing behind a bill that if left unchallenged will exempt a developer of a proposed racetrack in Tamworth from an ordinance recently passed to regulate it.

While it has yet to withstand legal scrutiny, a senate bill signed into law two months ago appears to have exempted the controversial private race track proposed for Route 25 from an ordinance the town adopted to regulate it during its annual Town Meeting.
