Hospital hill home burglarized while women slept BY GAIL OBER
of
LACONIA, N.H.
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Police continue to investigate the burglary of an occupied home on Warren Street early Sunday morning. According to one of the women who lives in the house, someone entered the home likely between 2 and 3:30 a.m. “He came into my bedroom and tool my jewelry box,” she said.
She said the intruder also entered her mother’s room. She said fortunately her elderly mother sleeps in a different portion of the home and was not in her bedroom. The older woman, who has asked her name to not be revealed, said her daughter was sleeping in a different portion of the home and thought she heard something.
“My daughter works early and typically rises at 4 a.m. I think she was already in that state where she was getting ready to wake up,” she said. The woman said her daughter rose and turned on an outside light and saw what she thought was a shadow running near the home. She woke her mother. The victim said she found her
jewelry box thrown in the backyard with some of her things still in it. She said most of the things stolen weren’t very valuable. She said she and her daughter discovered a jewelry box had been taken from her bedroom but decided to wait until morning to notify police so as not to upset her elderly mother in the middle of the night. see BURGLARY page 12
‘Free’ lunches aren’t to local schools & Laconia’s at more than 50% BY ADAM DRAPCHO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Tim Goossens, like food service directors in school districts around the country, has a lot on his plate at this time of year. For Goossens, charged with administering breakfast and lunch ser-
vice to about 2,000 students, the challenge becomes greater, as about 60-percent of the student body comes from homes that qualify under federal guidelines for free and reduced price lunch. The city’s greatest concentrations of free and reduced price meals are served at
Woodland Heights and Elm Street elementary schools, where only about one in three students pays full price for his or her food. While the statistic drops slightly at Pleasant Street School (56.4 percent) and for the middle and high schools (59.9 and 55.3 see LUNCH page 10
