Exhaust leak forces armored van to take a long break at McDonald’s
MEREDITH — A armored van bringing cash from the Mt. Washington Valley to Massachusetts unexpectedly spent several hours in the McDonald’s parking lot here on Tuesday evening. According to police, an apparent exhaust system leak into the cab resulted in one of the employees of Garda Security who was riding in the van becoming quite sick. The van was traveling through Meredith at the time and the driver pulled into the McDonald’s parking lot. The ill man was transported to the hospital for treatment but the van had to wait for a tow truck to make its way up from Massachusetts. Police stood guard over the van and its valuable cargo until the tow truck arrived.

Pleasant Street School principal heading back to M’borough By RogeR aMsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Pleasant Street Elementary School Principal Kathleen D’Haene has resigned and will be returning to Moultonborough Central School, where Principal Dawn Alexander-Tapper recently resigned. D’Haene served as assistant principal at Moultonborough Central School before
coming to Laconia three years ago, when she replaced Charles Dodson. Laconia Assistant Superintendent of Schools Terry Fostern told the Laconia School Board last night that she has met with staff at Pleasant Street and that the administration is looking in-house to fill the position, if possible. She said the administration will start advertising for candidates next week.
‘’We’re looking at the leadership team and have had individual conversations with staff who may be interested in the opportunity,’’ Fostern told members of the board’s Budget and Personnel Committee when they met prior to last night’s School Board meeting. Board member Chris Guilmett expressed concern over the turnover at the principal see PRINCIPAL page 10
