Justin Marks, son of the Alliance's Susan Marks, grew up spending summers on Berry Bay. Now a screenwriter, with Disney's hit "The Jungle Book" among his credits, he'll be speaking at Freedom Public Library on Wednesday, December 28, at 1 p.m.
A nice stretch of late-autumn weather ended with, well, winter.
Board votes 4-2 to accept privately raised funds for a voter-rejected land planning study, then reverses itself on a 3-2 vote, with one abstention, to let the Select Board decide what to do.
In an interview with the Conway Daily Sun, Freedom Select Board Chair Les Babb said the development could pose a risk to the water quality of Ossipee Lake if there is a flood and a problem with the septic. That could depress property values and take away from enjoyment of the lake.
Freedom's Select Board has authorized the Conservation Commission to establish a legal fund to support the town's contention that Ossipee violated zoning laws by approving the campground's plan to double in size from 258 sites to 519. Officials say more than $8,500 has already been committed to the fund.
