No border dispute here: Vt., NH reaffirm boundary

NORWICH, Vt.

In case you were wondering, the Vermont-New Hampshire border hasn’t changed.

The two states’ attorneys general have reaffirmed their shared boundary.

State laws require the two to meet every seven years to reaffirm the border.

The laws followed a 1935 U.S. Supreme Court decision that settled what had been a bitter dispute.

New Hampshire Attorney General Michael Delaney and Vermont Attorney General William Sorrell fulfilled their responsibility Monday on a bridge over the Connecticut River between Norwich, Vt., and Hanover, N.H.

The two lawyers joked at first about the dispute that started over which state would be able to tax a southern Vermont paper mill.

The court ruled in 1935 the boundary is the low-water mark on the Vermont side of the river.

California family wakes to find Lexus in their pool

LA PUENTE, Calif.

The Diaz family awoke to find a Lexus at the bottom of their swimming pool.

The Southern California family tells the San Gabriel Valley Tribune that drivers navigating the tricky intersection next to their house in La Puente have hit their cinderblock wall before, but early Sunday one of them smashed right through it in his silver sedan, then sank into the pool.

A crane later fished out the 2006 Lexus.

California Highway Patrol officer Steve Licon says the driver — 40-year-old Modesto Cabral — was able to escape from the car through the passenger-side window and had only minor injuries.

Jail records show he was booked on suspicion of drunken driving and was being held on $10,000 bail.

It is not clear whether he’s hired an attorney.

Phoenix-area man hits $1 million jackpot six times

PHOENIX

A suburban Phoenix man made a lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky guess in a recent multistate lottery game.

An Arizona Lottery spokeswoman says the Glendale man claimed six $1 million prizes after purchasing six Powerball tickets with the same winning numbers late last month.

The tickets were good for a half-dozen second-place prizes. And he picked up his $6 million in winnings over the course of several visits to the Arizona Lottery’s headquarters in Phoenix.

Lottery spokeswoman Karen Bach says the man doesn’t want his identity released.
