Bristol Police investigating bedtime house burglary & car content thefts
BRISTOL — Police are investigating the burglary of an occupied home on Prospect Street on June 11 where the owner said someone came through an unlocked garage door and took her pocketbook from the kitchen counter. The victim said she realized the purse was taken when she reminded her husband to put her debit card back in her wallet in the morning and he couldn’t find her pocketbook. “What do you mean,” she said she told him. “It’s right there on the counter where it always is.” She said the family went to bed at 9:30 p.m. and they noticed it was missing when they woke. She said they have a dog but he was sleeping in her son’s room with the door closed. Lt. Kris Bean said police are actively investigating the theft. Bean also said an officer was on routine patrol on June 2 when she activated her lights to pull over a car. She said the driver of the car
refused to stop and when it finally did, the male driver and passenger got out and ran into the woods in different directions. He said police searched the area but were unable to locate either man. Police learned the car was stolen from Manchester and there were a number of items recovered from the car that had been reported stolen from other vehicles in Bristol. He said most of the recovered items were electronics and change that had been taken from unlocked vehicles. He said Bristol Police are working with Manchester Police. Bean said police recommend residents lock the doors to the their homes and cars — especially while sleeping. He said residents should report any suspicious activity to police. Anyone with any information about these two incidents are asked to call Bristol Police at 744-6320. — Gail Ober
SCHOLARSHIPS from page 2 tering the program argued that the money should not be considered “public funds” because it stems from private donations and then passes through the hands of the scholarship organizations. But the judge rejected that argument, saying that the program diverts money that would otherwise be flowing to the government. “We’re not surprised at the outcome because the law is so clear that taxpayer money cannot be used for religious edu-
cation,” said attorney Barbara Keshen of the New Hampshire Civil Liberties Union. “On some level, it’s unfortunate that the state was put the expense of defending this law, which was obviously unconstitutional.” Kate Baker, executive director of the Network for Educational Opportunity, said her group would appeal Monday’s ruling to the state Supreme Court. “It’s disappointing, because clearly see next page can make, it limits the choices parents

In other commission action, commissioners reviewed a request from the Parents of Murdered Children head Carmen Doucette who wants to expand a memorial at Stewart Park and add more brick pavers and a small plaque. The Commissioners tabled the
request to give them time to walk in the area and discuss the proposal with the Stewart family. There are 90 markers now and 16 of them are not inscribed. Hawkins said he has always been supportive of the memorial but didn’t think it would expand to this degree. Commissioners said the memorial expansion would be brought up at next month’s commission meeting. Stewart Park is located on the bank of the Winnipesaukee River, at the intersection of Union Ave. and Main Street.

In Loving Memory of Frank L. Abbott August 8, 1937 - May 20, 2013 Come to Me God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be, so he put his arms around you, and whispered “Come to me.” With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. The family of Frank L. Abbott would like to thank all of the relatives, friends, Gilford Knolls II neighbors & dear friends for all their kind expressions of sympathy following the loss of our beloved husband, father, brother, grandpa, papa & uncle. We would also like to thank all of the doctors, nurses and especially, all of the staff at Laconia Rehab Center, who took such wonderful care of Frank over the last two months. Frank was a kind and gentle man and will be surely missed by all who’s path he crossed - We love you dearly and you will be forever in our hearts. God Bless you, you are with the angels.
