Person on ice yesterday

[Jeanzb1]

Yesterday we were driving down 11-C (Lily Pond Road) in Gilford and noticed someone on the ice far out, away from the shore. We were shocked as there were many large open water areas. A little while later we were in Town Hall paying our taxes, so I went up to the police window at the end of the building and told the dispatcher. Her response was, "Oh well, maybe the ice is at least two inches thick and is okay, but I'll let Fish & Game know." My response was, "When he goes through the ice, you will get the first call, not F&G." Today Lily Pond is completely open, no ice at all. I'm shocked at the stupidity of some people, but I'm even more surprised that the dispatcher didn't seem to think it was very important.
