NH court hears dispute over Lebanon golf course, housing development
Modified: 5/27/2021 10:16:04 PM
CONCORD Justices on the New Hampshire Supreme Court on Thursday pressed an attorney for the Carter Community Building Association on why they should overturn a Superior Court ruling that could allow the Carter Country Club to be developed into housing.
At issue is a decades-old deed for the Lebanon land, now owned by New London developer Doug Homan, but which the CCBA says protects the golf course from development.
The case, an appeal of a 2020 Grafton Superior Court decision, largely hinges on what type of protections the late Meriden developer Edmond “Peanie” Goodwin inserted into Carter Country Club’s deed when he sold the 47-acre golf course in 1986.
Lebanon golf course appeal headed to NH Supreme Court

LEBANON The New Hampshire Supreme Court will hear arguments next week in a case that could determine the future of Carter Country Club, the historic nine-hole golf course off Mechanic Street in Lebanon.
Justices are being asked to decide whether New London developer Doug Homan owns the property outright and is therefore free to make changes or do away with the course, as a Superior Court judge ruled last year or whether protections planned more than three decades ago are still enforceable.
The nonprofit Carter Community Building Association argues it holds the rights to a 1986 retainer that could be used to prevent the golf course from being redeveloped for housing
Suspect in Hartford shooting appears in NH court

NORTH HAVERHILL A 40-year-old man who pleaded not guilty last week to a charge he broke into a Hartford home and shot a man was back in another court Monday morning on an unrelated drug case out of New Hampshire.
Calvin Therrien, who does not have a permanent address, was ordered held without bail on a felony drug possession charge during a virtual hearing in Grafton Superior Court Monday. Therrien, who appeared virtually for the hearing from the Grafton County jail, did not speak throughout his court appearance.
The charge stems from an arrest Lebanon Police made in late 2019 when they pulled over a car Therrien was riding in that contained heroin and marijuana, according to an affidavit written by Lebanon Police Officer Ben Bailey. Therrien initially pleaded not guilty to the drug charge and was released on bond in March 2020.
Alexandria is a town about 20 miles west of Meredith.
According to the Alexandria Police Department Facebook page, âOn March 11, Alexandria PD arrested Timothy Connifey on two charges of impersonating an officer. Earlier this year during two separate traffic stops, Connifey produced a police ID. Connifey was a former chief of police in Bartlett, N.H. Connifey pleaded guilty to felony-level charges in 2016 and was subsequently decertified as a police officer.â
In a phone interview, Alexandria Police Chief David Suckling described the ID Connifey had produced as a card, not a badge.
On Tuesday, the probable cause statement and criminal complaints became publicly available, providing more context to the case.
