School board to meet Landlords invited to bedbug seminar Monday morning to in Laconia on May 21; new law assigns talk about replacing responsibilities to both owners & tenants Bob Champlin BY ADAM DRAPCHO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — The School Board has scheduled a nonpublic meeting on Monday, May 13, beginning at 7:30 a.m. at the SAU office on Harvard Street at which it will consider the vacancy in the position of Superintendent of Schools following Bob Champlin’s decision to step Bob Champlin down from the post (Courtesy photo) at the close of the school year. The board is expected to make an announcement following the meeting. A letter from Champlin explaining his decision was read at the regularly scheduled board meeting on Tuesday night. After adjourning the meeting the board met in non-public session to discuss personnel matters, but took no action. — Michael Kitch
LACONIA — Shawn Riley took his first bed bug call about four years ago, shortly after coming to the city as deputy fire chief and health officer. Since then, he estimates, he’s fielded more than 150 calls, some weeks one every day, about the nocturnal pests. It’s a problem that is on the rise, he said. “It’s definitely trending upwards,” Riley said of the spread of the parasites. Over the years, Riley has become something of a bed bug expert, giving several presentations at emergency medical service conferences and classes. “I’ve been all over the place speaking about these guys.”
