Tougher septic system regs fail selectmen’s smell test By michAel Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
MEREDITH — The selectmen turned up their noses at a proposal to tighten the regulation of septic systems in the Lake Waukewan watershed at a workshop session yesterday. Colette Worsman, the chairman of the board who has not
disguised her disdain for government regulation, described the proposal as “a segue,” suggesting it could ultimately lead to restrictions or prohibitions on swimming and boating while placing “unfunded mandates” on residents. Although less extravagant, Peter Brothers said “these are

Gary Harbour (left) has had to relinquish the Laconia Little League “Home Run King” title he held for more than four decades. On Saturday he was on hand at Colby Field to congratulate the new record holder, Riley Stone. Interestingly, Stafford Oil was the sponsor for the teams that both sluggers played on. Harbour hit 13 home runs back in 1970 and this year Riley blasted 14, five of which were grand slams. Riley was also the 2011 recipient of the coveted Mr. Little League trophy.
