Chocorua, NH – A puzzling assortment of seemingly random objects have Tamworth residents scratching their heads. Several facebook posts by Tamworth residents George Cleveland and Dennis Quin over the past few weeks have documented unusual objects that have been on display on or near the jersey barriers up on Chocorua Lake’s Narrows Bridge.

The first item to make an appearance on the bridge was a Keurig coffee maker, something that at first could have been passed off as someone’s garbage but as the days went on the items got more and more random including a stuffed cat in a cage, a potted palm tree and a pair of fake pigs most recently.

Quinn, Scarlet Begonias Radio Host, said that there doesn’t seem to be any pattern or connection between the objects noting that they are so unique that someone would most definitely remember seeing them in a friends or family members home.
As to who is leaving the items or what item will show up next remains a mystery.

CONWAY, NH – Conway Police arrested a Hudson man after he lead them on a chase in a stolen Jeep Wrangler. Police said that at around 6:00pm Thursday an Officer responded to a report of a stolen 2014 Wrangler on Echo Acres Road in North Conway.
About an hour later the Officer observed the stolen Jeep pulling out of the road onto route 16. The officer attempted to pull the Jeep over, however the driver accelerated and continued southbound on Route 16 at a high rate of speed. Police said that the driver swerved into the opposite lane during the pursuit almost hitting another vehicle head on.
The driver turned into the Eastern Slope Campground and onto an adjoining field where he left the jeep on foot running into the camping area and through several campsites.
The suspect identified as 33-year-old Kyle Rodier was eventually found hiding in a tent at the back of the campground and was arrested.
Rodier faces multiple felony and misdemeanor charges including; Receiving Stolen Property, Unauthorized Use, Reckless Conduct with a Deadly Weapon, Criminal Mischief, Disobeying an Officer, Disorderly Conduct, and Resisting Arrest or Detention.
Kyle Rodier has a lengthy motor vehicle and criminal history and his license was suspended on April 30th due to a refusal of the implied consent law in Hillsborough County.
He was held on $7500.00 cash bail and was arraigned today (7/6/18) in the Carroll County Superior Court.

PLYMOUTH, NH – A sculptor set to be inspired by the White Mountain National Forest will have his art on display Friday (7/6/18).
Sculptor and industrial designer Quinn Morrissette, one of two White Mountain National Forest Artists in Residence this year will have his work on display at the Museum of the White Mountains in Plymouth beginning at 6:30 pm.
Quinn is one of two White Mountain National Forest Artists in Residence this year. The current exhibit at the museum, “The People’s Forest,” celebrating the White Mountain National Forest Centennial, will be open for viewing prior to the talk.
Morrissette, a native of Berlin, NH, will talk about the National Forest and its importance in his life, share some of his previous work, and highlight research, images, videos, and models that he has been using to develop the sculptural work he will be creating on the National Forest this summer. The work is also part of his capstone project at the Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston.
Like many North Country kids, Morrissette spent much of his childhood outside, and the environment of northern New Hampshire provides both the source and inspiration for much of his work. “As a boy, I was blessed to have the Androscoggin Valley as my playground,” he says. “My adventures here never stopped, and I’m continually discovering new ideas in the forest.” Morrissette was also influenced by his grandfather, a millwright at the Groveton (NH) paper mill, who inspired him to learn metalworking, which plays an important role in his sculptures and design work.
“My project as Artist in Residence will be to create work that reflects our bond and interdependence with nature, and that inspires those who come in contact with it to carefully consider the White Mountain National Forest and its role in our lives, especially during the celebration of its 100th birthday. I also hope my work will show how new technologies and resources can be applied to the regional economy of northern New Hampshire, creating real, practical systems that fortify the relationship between local industry and the environment.”
The Artist in Residence program is a partnership between the White Mountain National Forest and the Arts Alliance of Northern New Hampshire, with artist lodging provided by Friends of Mead Base Conservation Center.
