OSSIPEE — Selectmen are backing a local woman's quest to get New Hampshire Department of Fish and Game to allow swimming and wading at Connor Pond's boat launch since gas motor boats aren't allowed there.
In addition, Jessica Williams, 37, of Ossipee, who was recently confronted by Fish and Game at the pond, could end up on the Animal Planet reality show "North Woods Law."
