New Hampshire police say a Windham teenager is undergoing medical treatment after police talked the armed teen out of the woods in Pelham. WMUR reported that a woman called police at about 5 p.m. Tuesday to report that she had received a text from her 18-year-old son saying he was suicidal, and that she had discovered a handgun missing from her gun collection. Police traced the boy's cell­phone to a wooded area on Windham Road in Pelham. Police instructed residents in the area to remain in their homes. A police negotiator eventually talked the boy into unloading the gun and securing it in his knapsack. He was taken to Parkland Medi­cal Center for evaluation.

Tip led to alleged robber’s arrest

NASHUA - Police say an anon­ymous tip from someone who ap­parently recognized the suspect in Monday's bank robbery from photos posted on news media websites, steered investigators toward Nashua resident John Labossiere, who was found in a Nashua motel room and took into custody. Labossiere, 44, most recently of 145 Chestnut St., was arrested just before mid­night Monday, roughly 14 hours after he walked in to St. Mary's Bank, 14 Spruce St., and allegedly passed a note to a teller demanding $900 cash and advising her that he had a gun and would shoot her if she triggered the holdup alarm, according to a police re­port of the incident. Detectives at the bank inter­viewed the teller, who told them the suspect, later identified as Labossiere, fled the bank after she gave him the $900 he de­manded. Labossiere was ar­raigned Tuesday in Nashua district court via video conference from Valley Street jail in Man­chester, where he remains held on $200,000 bail. He is charged with one count of robbery and two counts of possession of nar­cotic drugs, and is scheduled for a probable cause hearing on July 27 at the Nashua court. Police said that based on the anonymous tip, which they re­ceived at around 10 p.m., officers responded to a Chestnut Street residence with photos of the sus­pect. They said several people at the residence who viewed the photos identified the suspect who was later identified as La­bossiere, and one of them told police he was likely staying at the Motel 6 at 2 Progress Ave. Officers responded to the motel, located Labos­siere and arrested him, initially on an outstanding warrant stemming from a probation violation, ac­cording to the report. Police said Labossiere allowed them to search the hotel room, where they found $445 in a wallet with his identification card as well as articles of clothing "matching the ones worn by the suspect in the rob­bery," according to the re­port. The search also turned up two types of narcotic drugs, which police iden­tified as Oxycodone and Alprazolam, police said.

Hollis man to hold barn raising for solar panels

On Sunday, a group of friends will gather in Hollis to help Eric Ryherd put 7.5 kilowatts of solar panels on his roof, a sort of photovoltaic barn raising that harkens back to alternative energy's early days. But in an era in which solar panels have become so routine that, as Ryherd described it "you walk through the mall, there's a guy hawking them," is such an event necessary? Absolutely, says Ryherd, an engineer who serves as secretary of a Hillsborough County solar-advocacy group called HAREI. "I talk to my neighbors and it's like: 'Solar what? ... I don't understand,' " he said. "When one person in a neighborhood gets solar, it has a very strong ten­dency to propagate through that neighborhood. That's what we're trying to do." HAREI stands for Hillsbor­ough Area Renewable Energy Initiative, one of several non-profits in the state that helps individuals or groups plan for and set up solar power. "We are solar ambas­sadors, who advocate for people switching over to solar," said Ryherd. Years ago, such advo­cacy was the main way that people heard about solar power, but these days a number of private compa­nies - local, regional and national - design, sell and install solar systems for individuals. It's part of a huge expan­sion of the field, fueled by the sharp drop in the cost of panels.

Motorcycle rider is still hospitalized

HUDSON - The family of a Litchfield man severely injured Tuesday while rid­ing his motorcycle on the Sagamore Bridge are seek­ing answers for why Rich­ard A. Larose would crash in the median strip for no apparent reason. His son Scott Larose said Wednesday that appeals made on social media for witnesses on Wednesday led to him speaking with a female motorist who said she was traveling directly behind the elder Larose. The woman said the motor­cycle drifted into the grass median of the long bridge that connects Nashua and Hudson. "She said it was kind of like a slow drift, just like someone was falling asleep at the wheel," Scott Larose said, speaking by telephone from a Georgia airport Wednesday night. "She said there were no other cars involved," Larose added. Richard Larose, 65, who lived in Hudson for many years before moving to Litchfield, was riding his 2002 Harley Davidson mo­torcycle westbound when it veered into the grass me­dian of the bridge, police said. Larose was t r a v e l i n g alone when the collision occurred at about 3:42 p.m., police said. Emergency medical crews performed cardio­pulmonary resuscitation at the scene and on the medi­cal helicopter that airlifted him to Beth Israel Hospital in Boston. A hospital spokesman said Wednes­day that Larose was in se­rious condition.

Farmers market to double in size

NASHUA - Responding to demand, the local sum­mer farmers market is fac­ing rapid expansion, and is expected to double in size this month. Championed by new Great American Down­town director, Paul Shea, the weekly market will be adding several local vendors over the next two weeks. "As the new head of Great American Down­town, and as someone who lives downtown, I've watched the farmers mar­ket for a number of years and I've heard people ask­ing for more vendors," said Shea. "I now find myself in a position to make that hap­pen," he said. Shea said the Great American Down­town staff and volunteers have all pitched in to make the farmers market expan­sion a reality. The group hosted a “relaunch” of the farmers market last Sunday with 14 vendors, compared to the typical six to eight. "It went really well. It was hot, but very well at­tended," said Shea, re­ferring to the humid, 95- degree weather last Sunday. The relaunch was accom­panied by live music and a live broadcast from Frank FM. Trying to reach a total of 15-20 vendors for each Sunday market, Shea has his eye on the parking lot across the street between the old Telegraph and the Ameriprise Financial build­ing for an additional venue. "We were just able to fit all the vendors on one side of Main Street Sunday; we kept the other lot reserved for parking," he said.

Chiefs’ Houston cashes in; Patriots, Gostkowski close

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. - The Kansas City Chiefs ended up with a big bargain the last time they signed Justin Houston. This time, it's the star linebacker who's cashing in. Houston became the highest-paid line­backer in NFL history Wednesday when he agreed to a six-year, $101 million contract, over half of which is guaranteed, hours be­fore the Wednesday deadline for players who had franchise tags to sign long-term deals. "I want to be known as one of the best to ever play the game, that's my motivation, I just want to be great at what I do," Hous­ton said after signing a contract that was more than 30 times the value of his rookie contract. Star receivers Dez Bryant and the Dal­las Cowboys and Demaryius Thomas of the Denver Broncos both agreed to a five-year, $70 million contracts just before the dead­line. Patriots kicker Stephen Gostowksi's agent also was working on a last-minute deal that would replace his $4.56 million franchise tag. The New York Giants, however, did not pursue a long-term deal with Jason Pierre- Paul after the star defensive end injured his right hand in a July 4 fireworks acci­dent. A person close to the situation told The Associated Press, however, that the Gi­ants have not rescinded their $14.8 million franchise tag offer to Pierre-Paul. Houston has made three consecutive Pro Bowls and was the key to Kansas City's front-seven dominance last year when he broke Derrick Thomas's franchise record with 22 sacks and came within a-half sack of Michael Strahan's NFL single-season re­cord. Houston was considered one of the top linebackers in the draft coming out of Georgia, but a failed test for marijuana at the scouting combine caused his stock to slide.

Sean McDonnell's football team opens the coming season at San Jose State on Thursday night, Sept. 3, seven weeks from Thursday night. The school's athletics department an­nounced on Wednesday afternoon that the journey West is the first in three upcoming trips across the country. The Wildcats will play football games at San Diego State on Sept. 3, 2016 and at the University of Colorado in Boulder on Sept. 15, 2018.

CONCORD - The HNH Foundation announced the recipients of the first Sandi Van Scoyoc Legacy Award: Roberta Abodeely, school nurse at Dr. Norman W. Crisp Elementary School in Nashua, and Tammy Levesque, coordinator of the Laconia Health and Wellness Academy for the Laconia School District. The award's prize of $2,500 is presented to a New Hampshire organization or an individual who exemplifies the foundation's founding president's commitment to improving the health of young children. Abodeely was nominated by Stacy Hynes, director of grants and community development for the Nashua School District. Hynes said the School District's Wellness Committee, under Abodeely's leadership, "now unifies school leaders and school families in encouraging healthy choices, not only at school but at home. She is a catalyst for bringing community resources together to improve nutrition and physical activity." The programs include daily healthy snacks, activities that promote walking or biking to school along with the purchase of bike helmets, and community partnerships that better meet children's dental and oral health needs. Since its inception, the HNH Foundation has initiated collaboration between individuals and public and private partners, increased access to health and dental insurance for young children, and fostered communitybased efforts to make New Hampshire communities healthier for young children and families.

CASA celebrates 26 years of child advocacy

BEDFORD - Wednesday, June 17, was an evening of inspiration for CASA of New Hampshire as it capped its 26th year with its annual celebration honoring CASA advocates and community part­ners for their dedication to improving the lives of the state's abused and neglected children. In addition to honoring 41 advocates for milestone years of service - 26 five-year advocates, nine 10-year advocates and six 15-year advocates - CASA also awarded its honorees for its second an­nual Judge of the Year Award - Susan Ashley, out of Rochester Family Court - and third annual John McDermott Cham­pion of Children Award - Kristy Lamont, permanency planning coordinator for the Court Improvement project. CASA recognized three people who are stepping down after numerous years on the board of directors: Gerri Moriarty, of Hollis; Patty Tollner, of Nashua; and Lynn Photiades, of Bedford. It also welcomed five new members to the board: Judy Bergeron, of Portsmouth; Arthur Bruinooge, of Hollis; Kathy Chris­tensen, of Amherst; Benjamin Gaetjens- Oleson, of Lancaster; and Linda Lovering, of Meredith. "Tonight, we celebrate another year of hard work, a year of brilliant successes and challenges beyond measure," CASA CEO and President Marty Sink said in her opening remarks to the more than 200 volunteers, family, friends and colleagues present. "We celebrate the commitment of hundreds of people, past and present, and their tireless advocacy." Two former CASA youths who spoke to the guests earned standing ovations as they shared their successes that have been marked by the guidance of the CASAs in their lives. Dakota, 19, proudly shared that despite believing at 16 that she had little hope for a successful future, she is entering her sophomore year of college in large part because of the encouragement she earned from her CASA advocate and foster family. Madison, 17, was adopted just hours before the event at Manchester Country Club, and he shared that he is bound for New York City next year to attend college, a dream he didn't know he had until he found stability with his adoptive family. Both teens expressed their sincere gratitude not only to their advocates, but to the judges on their cases who they said took great care and consideration when listening to what they wanted for their futures. In his remarks before swearing in CASA's newest advocates, Edwin Kelly spoke to the importance of his duty and the duty of the state's other judges to examine the facts of the case and make decisions based on the best information that can be gathered. "The ultimate test of a moral society is the kind world that it leaves to its children," Kelley said, quoting Dietrich Bonhoeffer. "Every person in this room is meeting that challenge day after day after day." For more information about CASA, visit casanh. org or call 1-800-626-0622.

Flagship New York toy store closes doors

Tom Hanks danced on a large floor piano there in the movie "Big." Mul­titudes of children wandered through the aisles over the years, hopped up on sugar from the candy store and wide-eyed with delight at the giant stuffed animals and other toys. And a fair number of parents winced at some of the price tags. FAO Schwarz on Fifth Av­enue, probably the best-known toy store in the world, is closing Wednesday night. Owner Toys R Us announced the decision in May, citing the high and rising costs of running the 45,000-square-foot retail space on the pricey avenue. Though the flagship store is closing its doors for good, it may reopen elsewhere in midtown Manhattan. "It's the end of an era, it sucks. It's a great store so it should probably remain in its original home," said Flo Marinez, who, as a teenager, once had a sleepover inside the store. FAO Schwarz says it is the oldest toy store in the U.S., with a New York City location since 1870.
