Tilton will hire civilian to write parking tickets By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

TILTON — Selectmen have authorized Police Chief Robert Cormier to hire a temporary part-time traffic control officer to enforce parking and other violations, primarily in the downtown. Selectman’s Chair Pat Consentino said the parttime hire will be on a trial basis. If the program is successful, she said the next step would be to include the part-time position in the Police Department’s 2013 budget and have it go through the town’s budget process. “Hopefully the revenue will take care of the wages,” she said, noting the 20 hours a week would be paid at a rate of $12 an hour. Consentino said downtown parking has been an issue long before she ever came to office as a selectman. “We have very limited parking and we want to encourage people to come to downtown Tilton and shop in our local stores,” she said. The town has gradual parking ticket scale, said Consentino. For the first offense it is a $25 fine and for the second offense it is $50. Any parking offenses beyond two and the car will be towed.

Consentino said parking is not the only issue faced by downtown merchants. She said skateboarding and bicycle riding on downtown sidewalks is also an issue that will be addressed by police through the parking control officer. She said the money will come from the part-time line in the Police Department budget and though the position will be civilian, the employee will report to Chief Cormier and his supervisory staff. Lt. Ryan Martin said Wednesday that the Police Department is unable to adequately police downtown parking because they are temporarily shortstaffed and are tied up with criminal matters. “We think this is a way to provide the service that the Main Street merchants have asked from us,” he said. He said the major complaints stem from people exceeding the two hour limit and parking in the municipal-only parking spaces. He said he believes the area is adequately and clearly posted. Martin said yesterday any interested candidates need not be police officers but should have good driving records, legible handwriting and clerical skills and be able to pass a criminal background check.

Improvements to Corner Meeting House on Monday agenda BELMONT — The town’s building inspector has recommended some safety improvements to the Corner Meeting House that include placing a roof over the entrance of the town’s general assistance director to catch snow and ice as it falls from the roof. Building Inspector Steven Paquin said the new roof should be twice as large as the door way for the most protection. In addition, he recommended a direct visual link camera be installed director’s office and either the Police Department or Belmont Town Hall. Paquin said the camera should not have audio so as to protect the confidentiality of the discussions.

As to repairs to the upper level handicap ramp. He suggested a portion of a newly constructed ramp should have a dual pitch that would allow runoff to flow toward the road and not into the foundations. The above recommendations are on the agenda for Tuesday’s selectman’s meeting that will begin at 5 p.m. Town Administrator Jeanne Beaudin said Thursday that she would also be presenting a Church Street bridge update. The bridge was closed by selectmen last week after being told the by the Department of Transportation that it was unsafe. — Gail Ober

VIRGINIA from page 2 and I hope you find peace.” Huguely, of Chevy Chase, Md., was convicted in February of the second-degree murder of Love, 22, of Cockeysville, Md., a Baltimore suburb. Jurors also found Huguely guilty of grand larceny for stealing Love’s computer from her apartment. Huguely and Love, both seniors and varsity lacrosse players at U.Va., had a volatile relationship that spiraled into Huguely’s deadly confrontation with Love late on the night of May 2, 2010, after a day of heavy drinking and golfing by Huguely. Love was found the next morning, her battered face in a blood-soaked pillow. During a 3 1/2-hour sentencing hearing, prosecutor

David Chapman presented witnesses who described violent incidents involving Huguely before he killed Love. They included the beating of a friend who went home with Love after a party and the unprovoked punching of another person after a night of drinking. He also angrily wrapped his hands around a young woman in a bar after she told her father, his former high school lacrosse coach, to talk to Huguely about his heavy drinking. “Sooner or later he was going to seriously injure or kill someone,” Chapman said. Huguely’s attorneys acknowledged he drank too much, but Chapman disagreed that was the problem. “The issue, your honor, is not too much alcohol,” he told Hogshire. “The issue here is too much violence.”
