City gets easements to improve Fair & Court intersection By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Improvements at the intersection of Fair Street and Court Street — among the most dangerous junctions in the city — are in the works after the Planning Board last night approved

plans to construct a new building and reconfigure the parking lot at the Faircourt Plaza Condominium on the corner. Many people still refer to the existing structure as the Aubuchon building, though the hardware company has been gone from that location for several years.

M.T. McCarthy of Unit 1 Realty Holdings, LLC, owner of the 2.71 acre lot, granted the city two easements in the course of planning the project. One easement consists of a triangle at the northeast (Aubuchon) corner of the intersection and the other of five

feet along the east side of Fair Street from Court Street to a curb cut providing access to the lot. Planning Director Shanna Saunders said that the Department of Public Works requested the easements in the course of reviewing plans for the project see INteRseCtION page 12

Any such thing as a bad day to go fishing?

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — On Monday, the first day of the mandatory recycling program, the volume of recyclable materials collected on the route through the northern part of the city, including The Weirs, rose to 43-percent of the total solid waste stream, compared to 23-percent two weeks earlier. Ann Saltmarsh, who manages the recycling program at the Department of Public Works (DPW), described the increase as “stunning and very encouraging.” She said that the introduction of the program has led to unprecedented demand for complimentary green recycling bins. Since Monday, when stocks ran out, Saltmarsh said that she has taken the names and phone numbers of more than 350 residents seeking bins. She said that she has placed a rush order for 1,200 bins and expects delivery of some next week when she will begin distributing to the waiting list. Likewise, the inventory of 64-gallon wheeled recycling toters is shrinking. Saltmarsh said that

Judge asks police to justify BOLO alert after bodies found in Winnisquam By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

FRANKLIN — A 6th Circuit Court, Franklin Division judge ordered the state to submit a reason why police issued a “be on the lookout for” (BOLO) alert for the man whose mother and brother were found murdered on May 27.

As of yesterday, the state had filed no response to the order dated on June 24. Shawn Carter, 31, formerly of 20 Dutile Road in the Winnisquam section of Belmont was detained by police at 2:41 p.m., which was about three hours after police discovered his mother and brother chopped to death in the home. Police stopped Carter

on Rte. 3 and determined his was operating after his license has been suspended. He has previously been convicted of operating without a license. The BOLO alert desribed the car Carter was thought to be driving and warned officers that he might be armed. see BOLO page 11
