| Abduction Attempts Return to index of stories... |
Authorities in Keene say they are now "tentative" in officially classifying two reported incidents of attempted child abduction as authentic. They say new evidence tends to dispute original suspect descriptions and accounts and that the "incidents do not appear associated" with reports of an attempted abduction in Hinsdale on July thirty-first, and in Antrim on Tuesday. Antrim police are treating as authentic. reports of a woman in a station wagon approaching two children walking on Summer Street. She reportedly asked them if they wanted a ride to the C-D store in town - which, according to police, does not exist. Authorities say the children refused and walked away. Police also say that in the vehicle with the woman was a young boy who was screaming and crying. That prompted them to issue a New England wide alert for possible missing children. Antrim police describe the woman as being older, heavy set and having red hair and freckles on her face. She also has long fingernails and acne. The woman was driving an older gray station wagon with a roof rack, possibly with tinted windows. The state or number of the vehicle's license plate is unknown, but the design of it is believed to include a tree. The boy seen with her is described as being between nine and eleven years old, and as having blonde hair and light skin. Antrim police ask anyone with information to call 5-8-8-6-6-1-3. |

| Voter Margins Upheld Return to index of stories... |
A challenge to a community voting law has been rejected in federal court. The dispute centered around a law which allows some communities to use a sixty percent citizen approval standard at town meetings. The law stipulates that the 60 percent mark must be used in conjunction with a separate secret ballot process. Those communities who use the traditional means of voting at town meetings - such as by voice or by hand - must use a sixty-SIX percent approval standard. A group of residents in towns who use the lower majority called the varying standards unconstitutional. U-S District Court Judge James Muirhead ruled that circumstances in particular towns can warrant varying voting laws. |
