• Is world being distracted?: The fighting in Gaza has filled the columns of every international newspaper and reputable news website around the world. International television and radio have provided a sea of analysts to pore over every detail, every inch and every angle of the operation. All the major international organizations such as the United Nations, the European Union and the Arab League are discussing nothing else. Perhaps this is the point of the whole conflict, and the decision by Hamas not to renew the ceasefire. Conceivably, the conflict was created to divert attention from something else, rather more pressing.
• County to keep jail alternatives: The diversion alternatives, which last year gave more than 600 people a chance to avoid criminal convictions, have been popular with not only defense attorneys, but the police and prosecutors, too. They also have an enthusiastic supporter in Katherine Rogers, who takes over tomorrow as the new county attorney. Rogers, currently a prosecutor with the Allenstown police, said she intends to keep the diversion programs for two reasons: They save the county money in prosecution and jail costs and give first-time offenders, many of them young adults, a second chance. In fact, she hopes to expand conviction and jail alternatives. The most popular of the alternatives is the FAST program, which stands for First Time Alcohol and Substance Abuse Treatment. St. Hilaire created it in 2003 after seeing too many juvenile offenders graduate to adult court because of drug and alcohol problems.
• Work together to end budget crisis: Instead of borrowing $300-million to build more prisons, we should consider giving earlier parole and alternative sentencing to nonviolent offenders. Many nonviolent offenders could be sentenced to extensive community service in place of incarceration. We then reduce the costs of prison as well as provide needed community service.
