Tony Soprano actor dies in Italy at 51

3DAYFORECAST
LOS ANGELES (AP) — James Gandolfini, whose portrayal of a brutal, emotionally delicate crime boss in HBO’s “The Sopranos” was the brilliant center of one of TV’s greatest drama series and turned the mobster stereotype on its head, died Wednesday in Italy. He was 51. Gandolfini died while vacationing in Rome, the cable channel and Gandolfini’s managers Mark Armstrong and Nancy Sanders said in a joint statement. No cause of death was given. “He was a genius,” said “Sopranos” creator David Chase. “Anyone who saw him even in the smallest of his performances knows that. He is one of the greatest actors of this or any time. A great deal of that genius resided in those sad eyes.” Gandolfini, who won three Emmy Awards for his role as Tony Soprano, worked steadily in film and on stage after the series ended. He earned a 2009 Tony Award nomination for his role in the celebrated production of “God of Carnage.” “Our hearts are shatsee TONY page 11

Oversight board concerned about NSA surveillance WASHINGTON (AP) — The chairman of the federal oversight board that President Barack Obama said will meet with him to discuss the National Security Agency’s secret surveillance program said Wednesday that the group has numerous concerns about the operation and plans to publish a report after a full inquiry. David Medine, who heads the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board, told The Associated Press that board members have a “broad range of questions” about the NSA’s
widespread collection of Americans’ phone and Internet data. Medine, who spoke following a closed-door meeting of the group, did not detail the board’s concerns. Medine said the group was given a classified briefing June 11 about the secret data collection programs by senior officials of the NSA, FBI, Justice Department and the national intelligence director’s office. Medine declined to identify the officials who attended the briefings. “Based on what we’ve learned so far, fur-
ther questions are warranted,” he said. The oversight board’s two-hour meeting Wednesday was its first since revelations that the NSA secretly has been collecting phone data of millions of Americans and Internet records that are aimed at foreign users but that it also sometimes sweeps up materials from inside the U.S. The meeting was closed to the public because the board discussed classified information, Medine said. Obama said earlier this week that he see NSA page 8
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is planning a major push using executive powers to tackle the pollution blamed for global warming in an effort to make good on promises he made at the start of his second term. “We know we have to do more — and we will do more,” Obama said Wednesday in Berlin. Obama’s senior energy and climate adviser, Heather Zichal, said the plan would boost energy efficiency of appliances
and buildings, expand renewable energy and use the Environmental Protection Agency’s authority under the Clean Air Act to regulate heat-trapping pollution from coal-fired power plants. Zichal, speaking at a forum hosted by The New Republic in Washington, said that none of the proposals would require new funding or action from Congress. It has shown no appetite for legislation that would put a price on carbon dioxide after a
White House-backed bill to set up a market-based system died in Obama’s first term with Democrats in charge. The plan, with details expected to be revealed in coming weeks, comes as Obama has been under increasing pressure from environmental groups and lawmakers from states harmed by Superstorm Sandy to cut pollution from existing power plants, the largest source of climate-altering see OBAMA page 10

Repeal the Patriot Act It’s back. The Patriot Act — that grotesque, ever-mutating, hydraheaded monstrosity from the BushCheney Little Shop of Horrors — has risen again, this time with an added twist of Orwellian intrusiveness from the Obamacans. Since 2006, Team Bush, and then Team Obama, have allowed the little-known, hugely powerful National Security Agency to run a daily dragnet through your and my phone calls — all on the hush-hush, of course, not informing us spyees. Now exposed, leaders of both parties are piously pointing to the Patriot Act, saying that it legalized this wholesale, everyday invasion of our privacy, so we shouldn’t be surprised, much less upset by NSA’s surreptitious peek-a-boo program. When the story broke, Obama quickly began dissembling, calling these massive and routine violations of the Fourth Amendment “modest encroachments on privacy” that are “worth us doing” to make us more secure. He added disingenuously that Congress is regularly briefed about the program. In fact, however, only a handful of members are briefed, and even they have been lied to by Obama’s director of national intelligence, James Clapper, who flatly denied in Senate testimony in March that NSA was gathering information on hundreds of millions of our citizens’ phone calls. Yet, Sen. Diane Feinstein, chairwoman of the intelligence committee, loyally defends spying on Americans, claiming it protects us from terrorists. But she then admitted she really doesn’t know how the mountains of data are being used. This is nothing but the “Great Bottomless Trust-Us Swamp,” created by the panicky passage and irresponsible reauthorization of the Patriot Act. Secretly seizing everyone’s phone records is, as the ACLU put it, “beyond Orwellian.” A New York Times editorial rightly says, “The administration has now lost all credibility on this issue.” But no administration can be trusted to restrain itself from abusing the unlimited power of the Patriot Act. It’s not enough to fight NSA’s outrageously invasive spying on us — the Patriot Act itself is a shameful
betrayal of America’s ideals, and it must be repealed. When whistleblower Eric Snowden literally blew the lid off NSA’s sevenyear, super-snooper program of rummaging electronically through about a billion phone calls made every day by us average Americans, Al Gore tweeted: “Is it just me, or is secret blanket surveillance obscenely outrageous?” It’s definitely not just you, Al — this latest explosion of the Fourth Amendment is so mega-awful that authorities had to conjure up a new word for the process: Metadata mining. Most shocking, however, is the tineared, who-cares reaction by both Republican and Democratic leaders to this outrageous meta-surveillance. For example, GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham blustered that, “It doesn’t bother me one bit that NSA has my number.” Hey, Lindsey, it’s not your number we’re worried about. It’s NSA’s collection of our entire country’s numbers. Then came Sen. Saxby Chambliss: “We have not had any citizen who has registered a complaint,” he blathered. Hello, Sen. Clueless: No one knew to complain since y’all kept the program secret from us! Remember? Even more ridiculous was President Obama’s feeble effort to rationalize this spookery by declaring that Congress knew about it, as did a special spy court that routinely reviews and blesses it, so it’s all legit. In a perplexed voice, Obama added: “If people cant trust the executive branch, but also don’t trust Congress and don’t trust federal judges ... then we’re going to have some problems here.” Gosh sir, We the People have now learned that all three branches of government have furtively conspired for seven years to violate our privacy — so, no, we don’t trust any of them. And, yes, that is a biiiiiiig problem. (Jim Hightower has been called American’s most popular populist. The radio commentator and former Texas Commissioner of Agriculture is author of seven books, including “There’s Nothing In the Middle of Road but Yellow Stripes and Dead Armadillos” and his new work, “Swim Against the Current: Even Dead Fish Can Go With The Flow”.)
Belmont & Daily Sun have treated the McDonoughs unfairly To The Daily Sun, Re:William and Carolyn McDonough article about the Town of Belmont: We are local residents and are upset to see the front page article criticizing the McDonoughs. The McDonoughs are wonderful people and in this situation were victims of the town. The building they owned is only valuable as a commercial rental space due to its direct road front gate off Main Street. The article was misleading and did not show any sympathy for the McDonoughs and the harm that
The McDonough family has given jobs to many local residents over the years and they should not be harmed by the town and the newspaper in this way. We have learned that the court actually invited the McDonoughs to file the case under a state law that directly supports them. Your article did not mention that and we do not see that you even contacted the McDonoughs for comment. We are unhappy to see such unfair treatment to our fellow citizens. Doug & Elaine Kidd
LETTERS It’s time for common sense; don’t rebuild Opechee Clubhouse To The Daily Sun, The Opechee Park Clubhouse project is a low 18th on the Capital Improvements Program “wish list” for very good reasons: it would ruin the new view across Opechee Bay to the distant mountains for residents and tourists alike, put a new and continuing burden on local taxpayers, fill no need which can now be taken up by the private sector, and places a building on soggy land which contributed to the rotting of the old, minimallyused clubhouse. Ruining the newly-opened view is self-evident. Less obvious are the “needs: of an out-of-town group for a space to use three or four hours per week (or was it per month?) which they have already found (with very little work) elsewhere. That group offers no evidence of having burdened their leadership’s communities with a $110,000 plus facility. They want to play while Laconia’s taxpayers pay (at 3.04 percent interest). Although a few community-minded ladies would like to regain their lost meeting place at the park, they did not reply to the suggestion that their societies could meet elsewhere at no cost to the public: the new Boys and Girls Club across the street (which could use the rental income), various churches with abundant places for meetings, or private businesses which
often offer free rooms for such groups. Events such as baby and weeding showers, kids’ birthday parties, and post-funeral collections can also use many of those locations. Whatever happened to using one’s own living room or den for association meetings or neighborhood get-togethers, as others do? Must we all pay for the entertainment of a few. As noted by Councilor Brenda Baer, our Parks Department already needs more money and manpower. Must an entire city suffer while a favored few play or socialize? Re-using the same sodden ground for a new clubhouse after the old one rotted makes no sense. Our beloved Smith Track suffers from water problems and the remedy is to cost a frightful $300,000! Not rebuilding the clubhouse will allow for moving 10 parking spaces from beside Smith Track to the old footprint. The freed-up green area will get us a better track and field facility; this can be done for less than $110,000. It’s time for commons sense to prevail over politics and personal desires. Move the Opechee Park Clubhouse project off the Capital Improvements “wish” List. Or can we use high taxes and a permanent drain on our city’s budget. Thomas G. Kudzma Laconia
Why should N.H. take advice from the mayor of New York City? To The Daily Sun, Have you seen N.Y. Mayor Bloomberg’s recent anti-gun ad? It features a guy in a gold braid and medal covered uniform who looks like a general in some dictator’s army. The guy telling New Hampshire what to do about guns is a Minnesota police chief. Minnesota has nearly twice as many murders and about 50 percent more violent crimes per 100,000 residents as N.H. In 2009 and 2010 New Hampshire had the lowest murder rate of all 50 states and was tied for second in 2011. We’d all like a safer N.H., but advice from more violent states should be considered skeptically. Mayor Bloomberg is rich; he thinks he is so indispensable that New York
him and that he should “bless” everyone with his “expertise” about guns. New York City’s murder rate is 6.6 times the New Hampshire murder rate. Its people suffer from other violent crimes at about 3.5 times the New Hampshire rate. Why should New Hampshire take advice from the mayor of such a violent city? That would be like an Olympic champion totally changing his technique based on suggestions from a competitor at the back of the pack. Perhaps part of New York City’s high crime problem is because its mayor spends so much time sticking his nose into everyone else’s business. Frankly, if Mayor Bloomberg looks at New Hampshire, it should be to copy us. Don Ewing

LETTERS Future of ‘We the People’ is bleak because of wolf in our house To The Daily Sun, Well another week of hearings in Washington and we now know that the organizer in chief has passed word down from on high to keep they traps shut. Lies and liers rule, no one knows, no one can remember. Well readers, are you really surprised? Here we see an example of complete contempt for law, government and Constitution. What is most troubling is it is not limited to a few individuals or a single agency it has been deeply implanted in every department and agency. The IRS has been co-opted into a political weapon for Obama to use against his critics and opponents, the FBI is used to investigate and “interview” thousands of them. Even OSHA, the Department of Agriculture, BATF, cripes is there even one law abiding agency head with the courage to say “no, that’s not legal” anymore. Well silly me of course not Obama was reelected to a second term and has more “flexibility” now. And what about all those wonderful things Obama promised people, you know, we little people the working class, the elderly and poor? Let’s see, price of gas and heating oil doubled, cost of food up, rent up. What about jobs and job improvement possibility’s? Not so good really; Walmart, paying minimum wage, is cutting employees to part time as are thou-
sands of other companies due to coming Obamacare regs. Can anyone tell me one thing Obama has done for the people that has made our lives better or easier? I see where there is near panic in DC among congressional aids and assistants because unless their demand for a special subsidy is granted they will have to live with Obamacare health insurance. That’s what they get for passing it first so they could find out what was in it. Seems they just can’t live with what they what they decided to shove down our throats so now they want “special treatment.” They could repeal the whole thing as a bad idea and bad job in the first place and be done with it but that would leave Obama with near zero to show for his efforts of four plus years. But for now the future continues to look bleak for “We the People” because we allowed a wolf to come into “our house”. This wolf will continue to gnaw and claw away at our rights and liberties, undermine our Constitution and laws in his determination to fundamentally reduce our nation from that shining city on hill into a dismal slum surrounded by a dark bleak swamp of despair. Please America, open your eyes to what is really happening. Steve Earle Hill

Rain held down Bike Week attendance some but St. Clair describes rally as ‘fine’
Every Thursday *
By Michael Kitch LACONIA — “It was fine,” said Charlie St. Clair, executive director of the Laconia Motorcycle Week Association, of the 90th running of the country’s oldest motorcycle rally. “The weather hurt us with the attendance we expected, but everyone who came had a really good time.” St. Clair noted that rain fell throughout four of the nine days of the rally while there were three days of sunshine and two overcast days when the skies opened in the afternoon and evening. He suspected that foul or threatening weather lingering over much of the eastern half of the country, particularly the northeast, probably dissuaded some motorcyclists from traveling. “I spoke with a lot of people who came from far away who said that despite the weather they enjoyed riding around the state,” St. Clair said. The hosts of “The Rally in the Valley” in Conway, he said, also reported that the weather reduced attendance, but that those who braved it relished the experience. “The event went off very well without any serious incidents,” St. Clair said, echoing law enforcement and emergency service officials. The 51 arrests made by the Laconia Police appears to be the fewest in memory
and there were only a handful of severe traffic accidents. With the new roundabout at The Weirs and without closing the Weirs Channel Bridge, he said that traffic flowed St. Clair conceded that “the numbers were not what we hoped for.” He said that he heard estimates of “right around 300,000,” which he agreed “sounds about right.” He noted that a year ago the total crowd was “about 330,000,” and in light of the weather thought “it’s fair to say we were down about 30,000.” That number, St. Clair remarked, does not included four motorcyclists from Ohio who rode into town on Tuesday thinking the rally started this week. “It happens every year,” he said, “but even if they miss it, they’re happy to be here.” City Manager Scott Myers said that the expenses incurred by the city during the rally are still being tabulated, but said that revenues, which consist chiefly of fees and rents collected before the event, matched projections. In 2005, both revenues and expenses were removed from the general fund budget on the assumption that the first would defray the second and any surplus would be applied to a fund to support law enforcement and emergency services required by the event. Myers said he did not expect a deficit from this year’s event.
HOFFA from page 2 assume Hoffa ran afoul of the mob and was whacked. “Right now the case remains open,” Foley said. “At this point, if we do get logical leads and enough probable cause that warrant the resources to do an investigation, then we’ll continue to do so.” The latest search for Hoffa’s remains was prompted by a tip from reputed ex-Mafia captain Tony Zerilli. About 40 FBI agents searched a small field surrounded by trees and a gravel road in Oakland Township. With the aid of a backhoe, they spent about 10 hours in the field Monday and another 10 Tuesday before calling it quits about 10:30 a.m. Wednesday. “We’re always hopeful that we’ll get a lead that will lead us to a position in which we can conclude this investigation,” said Foley, “both for the process of justice but also for the family.” Hoffa was last seen on July 30, 1975, when he was to meet with reputed Detroit mob enforcer Anthony “Tony Jack” Giacalone and alleged New Jersey mob figure Anthony “Tony Pro” Provenzano at a restaurant in Bloomfield Township, north of Detroit. The 62-year-old Hoffa never was seen or
heard from again. His rise in the Teamsters, his 1964 conviction for jury tampering and his presumed murder are Detroit’s link to a time when organized crime, public corruption and mob hits held the nation’s attention. In 2003, authorities dug beneath an underground pool at a home in Michigan’s Thumb area for a briefcase an informant said contained a syringe and possible evidence that Hoffa might have been injected with drugs or poison. Three years later, the FBI spent 13 days searching a horse farm in Oakland County’s Milford Township, northwest of Detroit, for Hoffa’s remains. Two other searches didn’t involve any digging. In 2004, detectives pulled up floorboards at a Detroit house, and last September, authorities drilled for soil samples in the floor of a shed in the Detroit suburb of Roseville. Other theories have suggested Hoffa was entombed in concrete at Giants Stadium in New Jersey, ground up and thrown in a Florida swamp or obliterated in a mob-owned fat-rendering plant.

NSA from page 2 would rely on the oversight board to “set up and structure a national conversation” about the two secret programs exposed recently by NSA contractor Edward Snowden. The revelations, published in Britain’s Guardian and Washington Post newspapers, exposed the NSA’s massive phone and Internet data collection efforts. Medine said the oversight board will study the NSA programs and publish a report that includes recommendations. He said the White House would set a date for the board to meet with Obama. The group also plans a July 9 public meeting. “We’ll take testimony from experts, advocates and academics on the legality of these programs and their operations and how they address privacy and civil liberties,” Medine said. Obama’s sudden reliance on the board as a civil libertarian counterweight to the government’s elaborate secret surveillance program places trust in an organization that is untested and whose authority at times still defers to Congress and government censors. The little-known oversight board
has operated fitfully during its eight years of existence, stymied by congressional infighting and, at times, censorship by government lawyers. Dormant during the first term of the Obama administration, the board only became fully functional in May and held only two previous meetings. At Wednesday’s meeting, Medine said, the board discussed its recent classified briefing by national security officials. He added that all five board members have security clearances but because the group is in its early stages, the group has to rely on other federal agencies to provide secure meeting areas where it can review and discuss classified materials. In an interview this week with television talk show host Charlie Rose, Obama said he planned to meet with the oversight board and “set up and structure a national conversation” about the NSA’s surveillance programs and also “about the general problem of these big data sets because this is not going to be restricted to government entities.” The board’s mandate includes privacy as well as national security consee next page
from preceding page also said that, at least as far as his family and the people who he knew, they were also good neighbors to the people in the home and they were good neighbors to them. He recalled some fear and hostility at first but said it slowly ebbed over time. He also said the neighbors were comforted to a degree by knowing the home was supervised — especially during the nights and weekends. Philpot, who has stayed close to his old neighborhood, and Persson noted in the past few years there has been a younger group of people living in the home and more foot and vehicle traffic than before. The Philpots said they, too, felt the neighbors should have been notified when the scope of service changes from “group” to “support.” Coughlin said “there’s nothing magic about a group home that makes it violence-proof.” He said anyone who thinks violence can’t happen in a group home is wrong. “It’s not a prison,” he added. Planning Board and Zoning Board of Adjustment minutes from 1989 have no mention of the home going before any city land use board and former Planning Board members David Stamps and Atty. David Bownes
also have no recollection of any board involvement. The Laconia City Codes defined “Assisted Living Facility” for the first time in an ordinance change passed in 1997 and amended in 2000. The definition included “residences or living facilities, including nursing homes licensed by the state of New Hampshire, which provide communal support facilities which may include housekeeping, medical services, recreational, social activities or transportation.” Permitting an assisted living facility in a RG (residential) neighborhood now involves getting a special exception from the Zoning Board. In June of 1989 and June of 1990, there were two building permits approved for 24 McGrath Street, the first to add a fire escape and half bath to the third floor and to complete the fire alarm system. The second was some interior renovation to the two apartments in the rear-most segment of the building. Police Capt. Bill Clary said police went there more when it was a supervised home than they do now. As to crime in the neighborhood, Clary said there is no more crime in that neighborhood nor is the typical crime report different than in other similar neighborhoods in the city.

Records indicate Meredith Police uncovered 550 oxycodone pills at February bust By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
MEREDITH — Police say a local man who was charged in February with possession of a controlled drug with intent to sell and being a felon in possession of a dangerous weapon had 550 oxycodone pills, $6,800 in cash, a 40-caliber semi-automatic hand gun and some marijuana with him at the time of his arrest. Jeremie A. Simmons, 32, of 15 Northview Drive Unit 2 has been held on $50,000 cash bail since his arrest by police who responded to a call for a domestic disturbance at his home and made the discovery. Affidavits supporting cash bail and the search warrant for his apartment that were previously sealed by by 4th Circuit Court - Laconia Division were released recently after Simmons was indicted by a Belknap County grand jury and The Daily Sun filed a Right-to-Know request. Police said when they responded to the scene they helped the victim with removing her belonging and smelled a “strong odor of marijuana.” Officers asked Simmons if he had any marijuana, describing his response as “nervous as his face appeared to red and his eyes widened.” Affidavits said Simmons told them he had a small amount of marijuana in his bedroom and Officer Robert Donnelly accompanied him into that room. Donnelly said Simmons “pulled back the blankets from the master bed” and he saw “in plain view” two baggies of marijuana, some loose pills, and other from preceding page cerns. In theory, it could veer into questions about how Internet companies such as Google and Facebook as well as hundreds of other data-mining companies deal with privacy and how government might regulate those entities. But as Sharon Bradford Franklin, a senior counsel at the Constitution Project, a bipartisan civil liberties watchdog group, and other civil liberties experts said, the board’s role is largely advisory, identifying problems and suggesting possible solutions. The board has existed since 2004, first as part of the executive branch, then, after a legislative overhaul that took effect in 2008, as an independent board of presidential appointees reporting to Congress. Hindered by Obama administration delays and then resistance from Republicans in Congress, the new board was not fully functional until May, when Medine was confirmed. “They’ve been in startup mode a long time,” Franklin said. “With all the concerns about the need for a debate on the issue of surveillance, this is a great opportunity for them to get involved.” “They have statutory authority in two main areas,” Franklin said. “One is evaluating whether safeguards on civil liberties are adequate and the other is in transparency — informing the public and ensuring the government is more transparent.” But there are still limits on the group’s independence when it comes to the public disclosure of classified material. While the board has leeway in scrutinizing classified material and referencing top secret documents, it can only make those materials public if they are first declassified by the government, said Lanny Davis, who was one of the first board’s five members. Davis resigned in 2007 over his concerns that the board was tied too closely to the executive branch. The group’s first report included more than 200 changes by government lawyers. The controversy led to a congressional overhaul that made the board answerable to Congress instead of the White House.
drug-type items. He seized the items, arrested Simmons and applied for a got a search warrant for the rest of the apartment and his car. A log of seized items listed nine steroid vials, eight needles, pill bottles with Simmons and one other name on them, the handgun, two loaded magazines, and a total of 550 pills later identified as oxycodone. Defense attorney Wade Harwood filed a motion to suppress the siezed evidence because one of the other people in the home at the time said it was police who pulled back the bed covers, arguing the search and anything found from it was inadmissible because it was siezed unlawfully. Atty. Stacy Kaelin of the Belknap County Attorney’s Office argued the search was valid because a different person in the apartment indicated to police that there were drugs in the bedroom. She said the initial evidence leading to the search warrant
was “in plain sight” when police watched Simmons retrieve the marijuana. A hearing on the motion is scheduled for July 2 at 1:30 p.m. According to police, Simmons has previous convictions for possession of a controlled drug with intent to sell in 2001, two counts of being a felon in possession of a weapon in 2007 and one count of reckless operation of a motor vehicle in 2007. Simmons was also arrested in late 2006 in Laconia by Laconia Police with the assistance of the Belknap County Special Operation Group. He was in a car near his then home at 40 Bay Street after allegedly firing one shot into the air and then threatening to kill himself while barricaded in his car. Police said he was waiving a Glock 9-mm hand gun with a laser sight before he was arrested. Police fired tear gas into the car to get him to come out of it.

GOT LUNCH from page one John Walker, who along with Rev. Paula Gile of the Congregational Church of Laconia, UCC, helped start the now widely emulated program, said that Rylee Littlefield, one of Lily’s best friends, was among the volunteers helping out Wednesday morning. After the groceries were bagged, volunteer drivers fanned out across the city to deliver, free of charge, a week’s worth of lunch-making groceries to the families of children who qualify for the federal free or reducedprice lunch program when school is in session. The program runs for the 11 weeks that school is not normally in session.
More than 200 volunteers from community organizations take part in the program which over the past two years has delivered more 35,000 lunches to school children in the city. Organizers estimate that it takes $110 to provide one child with lunch groceries for the summer. There is also a dairy voucher program with vouchers redeemable at Vista Foods for milk, eggs, cheese or yogurt. Since the Got Lunch! Laconia program started in 2011 it has spread rapidly across the state and there are now nine programs this year, including ones in Meredith and Ashland, and the number is expected to rise to at least 12 next year according to Walker.
OBAMA from page 2 gases. Several major environmental groups and states have threatened to sue the administration to force cuts to power plant emissions. And just last week, former Vice President Al Gore, a prominent climate activist and fellow Democrat, pointedly called on Obama to go beyond “great words” to “great actions.” It was unclear whether the White House’s plans would include controls on existing power plants. An administration official, who wasn’t authorized to comment on the plan by name, said the White House was still weighing it. But since the administration has already proposed action on future power plants, the law would likely compel it to eventually tackle the remaining plants, or it would be forced to through litigation. Obama’s remarks in Berlin echoed comments he made in his State of the Union and inaugural speeches this year. “This is the global threat of our time,” Obama said Wednesday. “And for the sake of future generations, our generation must move toward a global compact to confront a changing climate before it is too late. That is our job. That is our task. We have to get to work.” Some environmentalists who cheered those remarks when they were made months ago, criticized them Wednesday.
“President Obama deserves praise for including climate change among the long-term threats facing us all,” said Ned Helme, president of the Center for Clear Air Policy, an environmentally friendly think tank. “But he should do more than talk about the problem. The president needs to put the full force of his office behind new regulations that will truly curb greenhouse gas emissions. For too long now, he has produced little action. I’m encouraged that he will finally act and not just ask.” Meanwhile, the environmental community is growing impatient. “I really can’t understand why they haven’t moved forward on this more quickly, and we hope that turns around,” said Nathan Wilcox of Environment America. An orchestrated and well-publicized campaign to persuade Obama to reject the Keystone XL oil pipeline, which would carry oil extracted from tar sands in western Canada to refineries along the Texas Gulf Coast, appears to be an uphill battle. Opponents call the $7 billion project a “carbon bomb” that would carry “dirty oil” and exacerbate global warming. But the State Department in an environmental evaluation concluded that other means of transporting the oil would be worse from a climate perspective.

Speaker Norelli says it will be hard for House to pass a budget that doesn’t include way to expand Medicaid
CONCORD (AP) — House Speaker Terie Norelli said Wednesday that it will be difficult to gather support for a state budget that doesn’t include a way to expand Medicaid to about 58,000 poor adults. “If there is no path to Medicaid expansion, I do not know if I could get the votes in the House to support the budget,” Norelli told The Associated Press. A proposed expansion of Medicaid has been a sticking point in budget negotiations for lawmakers this year. States can choose to expand it as part of a key component of the federal health care overhaul, which will be fully implemented Jan. 1. If New Hampshire were to expand the program, the U.S. government would pick up the full cost for the first three years and 90 percent over the long haul. States can withdraw from covering adults at any time without penalty. The Democrat-majority House and Republicanled Senate have been trading proposals on the issue but so far have no agreement. The Senate insists the issue needs further study and a vote by lawmakers independent of the budget next year. The House team on Tuesday proposed creating a group to study the issue, stipulating that the commission would have to present a plan in an August meeting to the joint legislative Fiscal Committee for approval. If the Fiscal Committee failed to approve a plan by Sept. 1, the state would expand Medicaid for three years. The commission would be tasked with developing a plan to assign people eligible for Medicaid either
to subsidized private employer insurance or Medicaid. The plan would have to comply with the federal Affordable Care Act. Either way, Medicaid would be expanded Jan. 1. The Senate responded Tuesday night by insisting that the study last through the end of the year with the Legislature voting on whether to expand it next year. The House countered Wednesday with a plan that includes a study to be done next month with lawmakers returning in special session in August to vote on an expansion proposal. The House’s latest plan didn’t limit expansion to three years. Senate Republican leaders have pointed to the intensive study the House did of a Senate casino bill to boost their call for a similar study of Medicaid expansion. Norelli pointed out Wednesday that the House casino study took five weeks. “I think we could do a similar study (of Medicaid expansion) on the timeline presented to the Senate,” she said. The Senate planned to respond to the House plan later Wednesday. New Hampshire’s Medicaid program covers lowincome children, parents with nondisabled children under 18, pregnant women, senior citizens and people with disabilities. The expansion would add anyone under age 65 who earns up to 138 percent of federal poverty guidelines, which is about $15,000 for a single adult. The deadline to negotiate a compromise budget is noon Thursday.
Correction: Laconia soon-to-be school superintendent is Terri Forsten
A story about Tuesdays night’s Laconia School Board meeting that was published on Wednesday consistently misspelled the name of Assistant
Superintendent — and soon to be Superintendent — Terri Forsten. We apologize to Ms. Forsten for our errors.
Correction: T.R. Snelling Engineering represented Cantin Chevrolet
An article in yesterday’s edition of The Daily Sun mistakenly reported that Steve Smith of Steven Smith & Associates represented Cantin Chevrolet before the Zoning Board of Adjustment this week. In
fact, T.R. Selling Engineering represented the dealership, which is acquiring an abutting lot to expand its display area on Union Avenue.
TONY from page 2 tered and we will miss him deeply. He and his family were part of our family for many years and we are all grieving,” said Armstrong and Sanders. HBO called the actor a “special man, a great talent, but more importantly a gentle and loving person who treated everyone, no matter their title or position, with equal respect.” The channel expressed sympathy for his wife and children. Joe Gannascoli, who played Vito Spatafore on the
HBO drama, said he was shocked and heartbroken. “Fifty-one and leaves a kid — he was newly married. His son is fatherless now. ... It’s way too young,” Gannascoli said. Gandolfini and his wife, Deborah, who were married in 2008, have a daughter, Liliana, born last year, HBO said. The actor and his former wife, Marcy, have a teenage son, Michael.

Rays beat Red Sox 6-2 to end drought at Fenway BOSTON (AP) — Desmond Jennings homered, Jeremy Hellickson pitched six strong innings and the Tampa Bay Rays ended their drought at Fenway Park, beating the Red Sox 6-2 Wednesday night. The Rays had scored a total of five runs in losing their first five games this season at the ballpark, including a doubleheader sweep on Tuesday during which they managed a pair of runs on 10 combined hits. Jose Molina and Evan Longoria each had three of Tampa Bay’s 15 hits and the Rays ended a threegame losing streak with their second win in eight games. After going a combined 1 for 7 in his extended major league debut during Tuesday’s doubleheader, top prospect Wil Myers delivered a two-run double during Tampa Bay’s three-run seventh that broke the game open. Rays pitchers retired 16 of the last 18 batters of the game, yielding one hit over the final five frames. Jacoby Ellsbury and Jonny Gomes had two hits apiece for the Red Sox, who lost for the second time in five games, but still lead Baltimore by 1½ games in the AL East. Coming off one of his worst outings of the season, Hellickson (5-3) surrendered two runs on seven hits with four strikeouts and no walks. It was a vast improvement from Thursday, when he tied his
career-high by allowing eight runs in a 10-1 loss to Kansas City. Ryan Dempster (4-8) was seeking his third win in four starts, but was hit hard in the first inning before settling down. The right-hander gave up three runs on eight hits over six innings, walking two and striking out three. The Rays scored as many runs in the first Wednesday as they did in 18 innings a day earlier. Jennings hit his ninth homer with one out in the first, depositing Dempster’s sixth pitch of the game into the seats above the Green Monster in left field. The Rays made it 2-0 when Ben Zobrist singled, moved to third on a base hit by Longoria and scored on a sacrifice fly by James Loney. Boston cut it to 2-1 in the second when David Ortiz led off with a double to deep center and later scored on an infield single by Gomes. Longoria nearly saved a run in the fourth on a liner by Gomes, but the third baseman couldn’t squeeze the ball in his outstretched glove, allowing Jarrod Saltalamacchia to trot home and tie the game. Dempster retired seven straight before Molina singled to open the fifth and scored on a base hit by Zobrist that put the Rays back on top for good. Longoria added an RBI single off reliever Craig Breslow in the seventh that made it 4-2.
from preceding page indelible and career-making, but he refused to be stereotyped as the bulky mobster who was a therapy patient, family man and apparently effortless killer. In a December 2012 interview with The Associated Press, a rare sit-down for the star who avoided the spotlight, he was upbeat about a slew of smaller roles following the breathtaking blackout ending in 2007 of “The Sopranos.” “I’m much more comfortable doing smaller things,” Gandolfini said in the interview. “I like them. I like the way they’re shot; they’re shot quickly. It’s all about the scripts — that’s what it is — and I’m getting some interesting little scripts.” He was mourned online by a flood of celebrity comments. “The great James Gandolfini passed away today. Only 51. I can’t believe it,” Bette Midler posted on her Twitter account. “My thoughts and prayers go out to James Gandolfini’s family. An extraordinary actor. RIP, Mr. Gandolfini,” Robin Williams tweeted. Deploying his unsought clout as a star, Gandolfini produced (though only sparingly appeared in) a pair
documentaries for HBO focused on a cause he held dear: veterans affairs. Gandolfini grew up in Park Ridge, N.J., the son of a building maintenance chief at a Catholic school and a high school lunch lady. While Tony Soprano was a larger-than-life figure, Gandolfini was exceptionally modest and obsessive — he described himself as “a 260-pound Woody Allen.” In past interviews, his cast mates had far more glowing descriptions to offer. “I had the greatest sparring partner in the world, I had Muhammad Ali,” said Lorraine Bracco, who, as Tony’s psychiatrist Dr. Melfi, went one-on-one with Gandolfini in their penetrating therapy scenes. “He cares what he does, and does it extremely well.” After earning a degree in communications from Rutgers University, Gandolfini moved to New York, where he worked as a bartender, bouncer and nightclub manager. When he was 25, he joined a friend of a friend in an acting class, which he continued for several years.

Black Hawks even Stanley Cup final with 6-5 overtime win over Bruins
BOSTON (AP) — Brent Seabrook’s goal 9:51 into overtime lifted the Chicago Blackhawks to a wild 6-5 victory over the Boston Bruins on Wednesday night and tied the Stanley Cup finals through four games. Seabrook fired a 45-foot shot past Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask to end Game 4 and send the series back to Chicago tied 2-2. Seabrook also scored the overtime goal in Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals to
eliminate the Detroit Red Wings. Game 5 of the best-of-seven series is Saturday night. It was the third overtime game of the series. The Blackhawks won the opener 4-3 in three overtimes, and the Bruins won 2-1 in the first overtime period in Game 2.

Body found near Hernandez’ home was homicide victim BOSTON (AP) — A man found dead in an industrial park about a mile from New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez’s home had been killed, a prosecutor said Wednesday. The state medical examiner identified the man as 27-year-old Odin Lloyd and ruled he was a homicide victim, Bristol District Attorney Samuel Sutter’s office said. Lloyd’s family said he was a semi-pro football player with a connection to Hernandez, whose home was searched by police. Lloyd’s mother, Ursula Ward, had said earlier police had told her the body was that of her son, who played for the Boston Bandits. “My son is a wonderful child,” she said, crying as she spoke outside the family’s home in Boston’s Dorchester neighborhood. “He’s a family guy. He hasn’t done anything to hurt anyone.” Ward would not say how Lloyd knew Hernandez and did not say if police told her how her son died. An uncle said Lloyd had a connection to Hernandez but wouldn’t elaborate. State police returned for the second day Wednesday to Hernandez’s sprawling home in an upscale subdivision in North Attleborough, on the Rhode Island state line not far from the Patriots’ stadium in Foxborough. They referred questions about their investigation to Sutter, the district attorney. Sutter’s office said investigators were asking for the public’s help to find a silver mirror cover believed to
have broken off a car between Boston and North Attleborough. Hernandez attorney Michael Fee acknowledged media reports about the state police search of Hernandez’s home as part of an investigation but said he and the player wouldn’t have any comment on it. Sports Illustrated, citing an unidentified source, reported Tuesday that Hernandez was not believed to be a suspect in what was being treated then as a possible homicide. Two troopers knocked on the door of Hernandez’s house Wednesday morning, but no one answered. The night before, police spent hours there as another group of officers searched the industrial park. Later Wednesday, at least seven state troopers searched both sides of a road just off the street where Hernandez lives. The officers used thin poles to pull back plants and search through undergrowth along the road. Hernandez returned home during the early afternoon Wednesday. He did not speak to a crowd of reporters staked out about 100 feet away. The Patriots drafted Hernandez out of Florida in 2010. Since then, he has combined with Rob Gronkowski to form one of the top tight end duos in the NFL. He missed 10 games last season with an ankle injury and had shoulder surgery in April but is expected to be ready for training camp.

Newfound Film Making Club to host a movie premiere event on June 26 NEW HAMPTON — The Newfound Film Making Club (NFMC) will host a double-feature movie premiere event on June 26 at 6 p.m. at the GordonNash Library. The club will be showing two of it’s original short films. Both are horror movies with a similar theme of “descending into insanity”, but each is filmed in a very different style. The two original, short films being featured at the event were written, directed, edited by and star members of the NFMC. The Club was founded in 2012 by Newfound Regional High School students, Sam Kench and Shaun Hathaway, as part of the Project Promise After School Program. Since its inception, in addition to making short films, the club has filmed several short comedy sketches and action shorts which can be viewed
on Youtube at http://www.youtube. com/user/tamguardians2. The first short film of the evening will be “Fading Humanity”. The original screenplay was written by Kench and Hathaway. The film stars Kench and Hathaway as well as local theater favorite, Rebecca Turmel who starred as Peter in this year’s Newfound Community Theater production of “Peter Pan”. The second film of the evening is the premiere of “A Lapse in Sanity” written and directed by Sam Kench. This is short black and white film with a very creepy, Darren Aronofsky feel. The Newfound Film Making Club is open to all residents of the Newfound Region. For more information about meeting times, production schedules and more, visit the club’s Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/ NewfoundFilmMakingClub

Holderness Central wins Circle Trot School Spirit Challenge
HOLDERNESS — The Circle Program named Holderness Central School as the winner of the 2013 Circle Trot School Spirit Challenge. This inaugural challenge was designed to get more youth participating in healthy living by walking or running in the Circle Trot, a spring 2K/5K/10K race put on by the Circle Program in collaboration with Plymouth State University’s Center for Active Living and Healthy Communities. Twenty-eight schools, from Laconia to Campton, were in the running this year. Registered Circle Trot participants were able to vote for their own school or whatever school they affili-
ated themselves with. The award was given to the highest percentage of votes per school’s total student population. Holderness Central (9%) narrowly edged out Holderness School (8%). Other top finishers included New Hampton Community School and Inter-Lakes Elementary. This challenge was a great success in activating the Greater Lakes Region communities. In a small ceremony Holderness Central was awarded $200 to go towards the sports equipment of their choice.

Royal Palace sheds light on Kate’s baby plans LONDON (AP) — With Prince William and the former Kate Middleton expecting their first child in mid-July — and much of the world interested in the birth of a future monarch — the royals’ office has released some of the couple’s plans, although many details are still being kept private. Kate has made several public appearances recently but is expected to keep a low profile in the final weeks of her pregnancy. Here is the latest news about the infant who will, upon entering the world, be third in line for the British throne. KING OR QUEEN? Royal officials can’t say — and it’s not because they are being coy, it’s because Kate and William have not found out — and don’t plan to. “They don’t know the sex of the baby and have decided not to find out,” said a royal official who spoke on condition of anonymity under Palace guidelines for distributing information to the press. PACING THE HALLWAY OR IN THE ROOM WITH HIS WIFE? Officials said William “fully intends to be present at the birth.” The birth is expected to take place at the private Lindo Wing of St. Mary’s hospital in central London. That is the hospital where William and his younger brother, Prince Harry, were born. WHO’S IN CHARGE? A spokesman said the medical team will be led by royal gynecologist Dr. Marcus Setchell. WILL THE PUBLIC KNOW WHEN KATE IS ADMITTED TO THE HOSPITAL? Officials said there will be no advance notice. The public will be told once she has settled in her room in the early stages of labor, the spokesman said, anticipating that this would be within an hour of her arrival at the hospital.

Dodge of Meredith, was among the 548 students awarded a degree at St. Lawrence University’s Commencement ceremony, held May 19 on campus in Canton, New York. Dodge was awarded a degree in biology and is a graduate of New Hampton School.
HOW WILL PEOPLE FIND OUT THAT AN HEIR TO THE THRONE HAS BEEN BORN? This will be a mix of tradition and new social media. Officials said a royal aide will emerge from the hospital with a signed bulletin on foolscap-sized paper carrying the Buckingham Palace letterhead. The bulletin will be given to an official who will be driven to the Palace, where it will be posted on an easel in public view in front of the building. At the same time the bulletin is posted, there will be an announcement on Twitter and the media will be formally notified. The document will give the baby’s gender, weight and time of birth. AND THE NAME? Not so fast. Officials said they don’t know how quickly a name will be chosen. When William was born, a week passed before his name was announced. VISITING HOURS? Officials said royals and members of the Middleton family are likely to visit, but Queen Elizabeth II is not expected to visit at the hospital because she will be on her summer vacation at the Balmoral estate in Scotland. WHERE’S DADDY? William plans to take two weeks paternity leave and then return to his military duties as a search and rescue helicopter pilot in Wales.

Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Dismay over unhappiness in family relations will turn into delight when you lend a sympathetic ear and make it clear to a special someone that you’re in their corner. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You have a particular kind of charge to you today, and the emotional impression you make will linger after you’ve left. It’s worth giving some thought to how people will feel because they mingled with you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your luck will be uncanny. You’ll wander into the right people at the right time. You’ll be handed opportunity -- and mostly because you ask for it with smiling eyes. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 20). This year introduces more love into your life. In July, take what you’re given and run with it, and things quickly will improve. In August, ideals are disrupted when you create something unexpectedly beautiful. An unnecessary purchase seems important, but resist and you’ll attract real wealth in November. Capricorn and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 28, 1, 44, 38 and 50.
by Chad Carpenter
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Some say the iris gets narrower as you get older, but your vista is only increasing. Don’t forget to look up from your day-to-day to scan the horizon of your possibilities. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will be tempted to wonder “where did I go wrong,” but what you really should be asking is “how did I go right,” because you’re much better off precisely because things didn’t work out as planned. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s like the forces are aligning to make you more creative. Funds or other resources that were previously available may be limited for unforeseen reasons, and this is a blessing in disguise. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll receive the kind of recognition that people strive for, and it will bring the good feeling you expected for a time. Enjoy it and soak it up before everyone goes back to minding their own business. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ve spent too much time of late listening to the music of your own thoughts. Open up and engage with the playlists of others’ minds, and discover some new music. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You give people the proper amount of time for their role in your life. For someone who wants to be more important to you, this will not be enough. Now you have a decision to make. How close do you want to be? LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ve known places you hadn’t technically visited. When you got there, nothing seemed surprising and you knew the layout. When it happens again today, pay closer attention to what it means. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s like you’re shopping in another country where the numbers on the price tags mean nothing to you because you don’t know the exchange rate. You appreciate the value of things even if you don’t fully understand what they are. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When you try to find out what the plan is, it becomes clear that there will be no plan unless you come up with one. You’re qualified to be the “man” with the plan.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, June 20, 2013— Page 25
––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, June 20, the 171st day of 2013. There are 194 days left in the year. Summer arrives at 10:04 p.m. Pacific time (Friday 1:04 a.m. Eastern time). Today’s Highlight in History: On June 20, 1863, West Virginia became the 35th state. On this date: In 1782, Congress approved the Great Seal of the United States, featuring the emblem of the bald eagle. In 1791, King Louis XVI of France and his family attempted to flee the country in the socalled Flight to Varennes but were caught. In 1837, Queen Victoria acceded to the British throne following the death of her uncle, King William IV. In 1893, a jury in New Bedford, Mass., found Lizzie Borden not guilty of the ax murders of her father and stepmother. In 1921, U.S. Rep. Alice Mary Robertson, R-Okla., became the first woman to preside over a session of the House of Representatives. In 1943, race-related rioting erupted in Detroit; federal troops were sent in two days later to quell the violence that resulted in more than 30 deaths. In 1947, Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel was shot dead at the Beverly Hills, Calif., mansion of his girlfriend, Virginia Hill, apparently at the order of mob associates. In 1963, the United States and Soviet Union signed an agreement to set up a “hot line” between the two superpowers. In 1967, boxer Muhammad Ali was convicted in Houston of violating Selective Service laws by refusing to be drafted. (Ali’s conviction was ultimately overturned by the Supreme Court). In 1972, three days after the arrest of the Watergate burglars, President Richard Nixon met at the White House with his chief of staff, H.R. Haldeman; the secretly made tape recording of this meeting ended up with the notorious 18½minute gap. In 1982, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed National Bald Eagle Day. In 2002, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled, 6-3, in Atkins v. Virginia that executing mentally disabled murderers was unconstitutionally cruel. Ten years ago: Secretary of State Colin Powell met separately with the leaders of Israel and the Palestinian Authority, praising the Israelis for efforts toward an eventual peace settlement and urging speed on the Palestinians. President George W. Bush named Scott McClellan his new press secretary, succeeding Ari Fleischer. Five years ago: Lightning began sparking more than 2,000 fires across northern and central California, eventually burning over a million acres. One year ago: A Republican-controlled House committee voted to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress for failing to turn over Justice Department documents related to Operation Fast and Furious. (The full House voted in favor of the contempt citation eight days later.) Pittsburgh Penguins center Evgeni Malkin won the Hart Trophy as the NHL’s most valuable player. Painter and sketch artist LeRoy Neiman, best known for evoking the kinetic energy of the world’s biggest sporting and leisure events with bright quick strokes, died in New York at age 91.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: Our oldest son, “Adam,” lives two hours away with his wife, “Eve,” and their three children. One child, “Hayden,” is Eve’s from a prior relationship. She married Adam when the boy was 3. The biological father is irresponsible and alcoholic but loves Hayden and sees him when he can. Hayden is now 13 and a good student, and he works hard to please his parents. We love and cherish him and consider him our own grandson. But we are heartsick that Adam and Eve seem to single him out for unkind treatment. They take him to task constantly for minor infractions. They fling insults and belittling comments at him. He is scolded for the tone of his voice, his posture, mannerisms and nearly everything he says. His parents sometimes make him stand in a corner. It’s humiliating for him. His siblings are not treated this way. Hayden is basically a good and decent boy, and his parents seem to resent him. We are worried sick that if this treatment continues, he will rebel, and we won’t like the consequences. Hayden deserves better. Is there anything we can do to help without offending my son? We once brought this up, and they resented our intrusion. We hesitate to take that road again. What can we do? -- Worried Grandparents Dear Grandparents: Belittling, insulting and humiliating one’s child -- at any age -- is angry, inappropriate parenting. Since your son and his wife do not want your input, we suggest you offer to take Hayden for weekends or over the summer for a couple of weeks (or more) if you can manage it. He and his parents could use a break from one another. It isn’t a substitute for better parenting, but it will help. You also can suggest to Hayden that he speak to you, his school counselor or favorite teacher whenever he needs to talk.
Dear Annie: We often have two delightful boys over to our house to play with our two sons. These boys are teenagers. We’ve known them for years. They are being homeschooled by their very caring mother. For the first time, the four boys were playing a game that required writing answers and reading them. As I observed them, I could see that the two home- schoolers were having trouble both writing and reading. I finally asked what the problem was, and they said they had never been taught to write in script. These are smart boys, but I worry this could be a real handicap for them in life. Should I talk with their mother or just let it go? -- Feeling Sorry in Vermont Dear Vermont: Fewer and fewer students are learning to read or write in script. With all the keyboards around, penmanship is rarely taught, and script writing has become a lost art. Will it handicap them? Perhaps if they have to read a note from Grandma, but otherwise, it’s unlikely. By the time they are looking for a full-time job, most of their peers will be in the same boat. Dear Annie: I must take exception to one of your suggestions to “Perplexed,” whose father insisted on hearing his voice every day. I think it is ridiculous to expect adult children to call their parents every day. I am a parent of a wonderful grown son and lovely daughter-in-law. I would NEVER expect them to call me every day. I would never be intrusive and barge in on them without calling first. Why do we allow family members to treat each other inconsiderately and without respect when we wouldn’t treat others this way?

APARTMENTS from page one Dam — representing its longest side and bordered on the other two sides by Arch Street and Union Avenue. However, its frontage on Arch Street is limited by a 0.34-acre lot that runs more than half the length of the street from its intersection with Union Avenue owned by Combined Investments, LLC of Milton, Massachusetts, which houses two apartment buildings. The footbridge below the dam links the lot to the Rotary Park, Belknap Mill, One Mill Plaza and City Hall. There are two buildings on the site, the original mill of 18,597-square-feet, built around 1850 at the river’s edge, and a newer outbuilding of 5,154-square-feet near the corner of Arch Street and River Street. The property is is the city’s Downtown Riverfront District, created “to provide opportunities, incentives and requirements to acknowledge and respect the Winnipesaukee River” and described by the zoning ordinance as “a focal point in the city’s history and heritage,” which should be “a critical factor in any redevelopment within the district.” The Master Plan, adopted in 2007, lists the riverfront among the city’s prime assets and includes among its goals the economic development of the waterfront among its goals. That same year F.W. Webb constructed a new facility in the Lakes Business Park and the property was purchased by Cecil and Deborah Baldwin of Tuscon, Arizona, who anticipated rehabilitating the mill to match those across the river. They were intrigued with a conceptual design for the site prepared the year before following a charette hosted by Laconia Main Street.

The old 1.87-acre F.W. Webb property in the heart of Laconia has sat vacant since 2007, when the plumbing and heating wholesale supply company sold the facility and moved to the Lakes Business Park. The Laconia Area Community Land Trust is in the process of acquiring the land as a site for an affordable apartment complex. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Ed Engler)
The plan featured the mill, restored to offer space for a restaurant and shops on the lower level and condominium units above, as a destination along a riverwalk between the Main Street and Church Street bridges. The smaller building would be used for retail or office space, though some suggested that it be demolished and replaced with a new structure. The project was conceived in conjunction with the riverwalk. An earlier design showed a boardwalk between footbridge and Arch Street passing an outdoor dining terrace at the restored mill. But, since then the property has sat empty and untouched. Harvey said that Planning Director Shanna Saunders asked her if the LACLT would have any interest in redeveloping the site. Saunders said that she probably included it among several properties that have lain fallow for years and is “thrilled to see the LACLT redeveloping it.” She said that the trust builds to high standards as well as maintains its properties and manages its tenants. She referred to Mill View, the LACLT’s residential complex across Union Avenue, as a significant asset to the neighborhood. Saunders acknowledged that an apartment building does not conform to the original vision for the site, but said that market forces failed to lead to the redevelopment of the property. “It simply isn’t happening,” she said, “and we have to move on. That building has sat there deteriorating since before I started work here nearly 10 years ago.” The LACLT plans to demolish both existing structures on the lot and replace them with a new building will consist of two wings, paralleling Union Avenue and Arch Street and joined in the middle to form a “V.” The building will house 12 one-bedroom units, each 675-square-feet and 20 two-bedroom units of 864-square-feet. A parking lot with an entrance at the corner of Arch Street and River Street will have spaces for 30 vehicles and two smaller lots along Union Avenue will have another 18 spaces. The lower level will be faced with brick and the upper levels with vinyl siding. The riverfront will be land-
scaped and include walkways designed to accommodate the downtown riverwalk, which the city plans to construct along both banks of the river. Like all the projects undertaken by the LACLT, the units will be offered at affordable rents and property taxes will be paid on the apartment building. David Stamps, who contributed to the original conceptual plan for the property, enthusiastically welcomed the LACLT’s proposal. “I’m not at all disappointed,” he said. “This area needs affordable housing and I am a big supporter of the LACLT. The market determined that the property could not be developed as we envisioned,” he continued. “This is an excellent alternative.” But, Harry Bean of Gilford, who owns 76 rental units in the neighborhood, believes that the LACLT, which finances its projects with a mix of grants and low-interest loans, represents unfair competition to private landlords. He said that his two-bedroom units with heat and hot water rent for $802 a month, just as they did 30 years ago. Meanwhile, property taxes, insurance coverage and fuel costs have risen significantly. He claims that with such slender margins, private landlords cannot afford to invest in the improving their properties. Moreover, Bean doubts that the city lacks a sufficient inventory of affordable units. “There is absolutely no demand for more affordable housing,” he said, estimating that between empty units and delinquent tenants vacancy rates stand near 10 percent. Instead, he said adding to the supply decreases the demand, which leads to either lower rents or more vacancies. Adding to the stock of affordable units, Bean believes, will simply attract more low-income residents. “Build it and they will come,” he remarked. “Condos wouldn’t be bad thing there. A restaurant with retail shops would be better.” Bean said that he has expressed his misgivings about the proposed apartment project to Mayor Mike Seymour as well as City Councilors Brenda Baer (Ward 4) and Armand Bolduc (Ward 6).
LUCKNOW, India (AP) — India’s prime minister said Wednesday that the death toll from flooding this week in the northern state of Uttrakhand had surpassed 100 and could rise substantially. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh spoke on his return from an aerial survey of the area, pegging the death toll at 102. “It is feared that the loss of life could be much higher,” he said. Uttrakhand’s top elected official, State Chief Min-
ister Vijay Bahuguna later told the New Delhi Television news channel that hundreds of people have lost their lives but that the exact number would be known only after a survey of the area. A joint army and air force operation evacuated nearly 12,000 Hindu pilgrims stranded in a mountainous area by torrential monsoon rains and landslides, but nearly 63,000 people remained cut off, a senior official said Wednesday.
