By Gayla Cawley, Roberto Scalese, and Bridget Turcotte ITEM STAFF The North Shore saw its third powerful nor’eas- ter in a matter of two weeks on Tuesday, a slow-moving storm which brought more than a foot of snow onto the region, only six days after the rst two, which ooded communities and knocked out power. The snow was still falling late into the evening, forcing a second day of cancellations and parking bans. Lynn Despite being hammered by the blizzard, Lynn Department of Public Works commissioner An- drew Hall said the city did well in terms of crews keeping up with the storm. “It’s a lot of snow,” said Hall Tuesday night. “We’re expecting almost 20 inches of snow, so we have all the pieces out there.” By 5 p.m. Tuesday, about a foot of snow had been dumped in Lynn. Hall said at the time that he expected another seven inches to fall before the storm tapers off in the early morning hours on Wednesday. The challenge with this storm, he said, has been that the snow is spread out over 24 hours — long duration storms are challenging for everyone, both men and equipment, adding that it was a lot of hours to be behind the wheel of a truck. Hall said there were approximately 50 DPW pieces out working, along with about 300 contract pieces. He was planning to keep them out until the STORM, A7 Not so sweet news for NECCO Lighting the way in Saugus By Thomas Grillo which calls itself the oldest continuous- By Bridget Turcotte for better signage so this won’t happen ITEM STAFF ly operating candy company in the U.S., ITEM STAFF in the future.

  • Bulger Sentenced to Two Life Terms
    United States Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz District of Massachusetts FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: CHRISTINA DiIORIO-STERLING NOVEMBER 14, 2013 PHONE: (617)748-3356 WWW.JUSTICE.GOV/USAO/MA/NEWS E-MAIL: [email protected] BULGER SENTENCED TO TWO LIFE TERMS BOSTON – In U.S. District Court in Boston today, James J. Bulger was sentenced for operating a criminal enterprise that was responsible for the murder of 11 people, as well as numerous counts of extortion, money laundering, drug dealing, and firearms possession. U.S. District Court Judge Denise J. Casper sentenced Bulger to two consecutive life terms plus five years and $19.5 million in restitution. During the sentencing hearing this morning, Judge Casper told Bulger that, “The scope, the callousness, the depravity of your crimes, is almost unfathomable.” On August 12, 2013, Bulger was convicted by a jury following a two-month long trial. The jury found the former fugitive guilty of racketeering conspiracy and numerous racketeering acts of murder, extortion, narcotics distribution, money laundering and possession of firearms including machineguns. In their verdict, the jury found that Bulger played a role in the murders of Deborah Hussey, Paul McGonagle, Edward Connors, Thomas King, Richard Castucci, Roger Wheeler, Brian Halloran, Michael Donahue, John Callahan, Arthur Barrett and John McIntyre. “The loss and anguish suffered by these families and many others is unimaginable. What is undeniable is the fact that all of this suffering was caused by James Bulger – who is now, finally being held accountable for his horrific acts,” said United States Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz. Bulger, the former leader of the Winter Hill Gang, ran a vast criminal network that emanated from South Boston and controlled much of the city and the surrounding areas during the 1970s and 1980s.

Behind him the water stirred, and further off, the Boston skyline sparkled. The ship-building city of Quincy, bordering Boston to the south, was a perfect location for the kind of meeting the agent had in mind. The roadway along the beach, Quincy Shore Drive, ran right into the Southeast Expressway. Heading north, any of the expressway’s next few exits led smack into South Boston, the neighborhood where Connolly and his “contact” had both grown up. Using these roads, the drive to and from Southie took just a few minutes. But convenience alone was not the main reason the location made a lot of sense. Most of all, neither Connolly nor the man he was scheduled to meet wanted to be spotted together in the old neighborhood. Backing the Plymouth into the space along the beach, Connolly settled in and began his wait. In the years to come Connolly and the man he was expecting would never stray too far from one another. They shared Southie, always living and working within a radius of a mile of each other in an underworld populated by investigators and gangsters.

No. 99-10371-RGS ) ) JAMES J. BULGER ) _______________________________) DEFENDANT’S RENEWED MOTION FOR RECUSAL OF JUDGE RICHARD G. STEARNS The defendant, James J. Bulger, moves that Judge Richard G. Stearns recuse himself from this case pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 455. Introduction James J. Bulger was a notorious alleged criminal throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Federal, state, and local law enforcement considered him to be the head of organized crime in Boston, as noted in numerous magazines and newspapers during this period. Most of the alleged crimes are contained in the current indictment. Yet James Bulger never once was charged with a crime by federal prosecutors in these two decades. The evidence at trial will show the reason. James Bulger was given immunity by an attorney of the United States Department of Justice: Jeremiah O’Sullivan. O’Sullivan was 1 Case 1:99-cr-10371-RGS Document 750 Filed 10/24/12 Page 2 of 24 employed by the Department of Justice in various positions in Boston. He was a member of the New England Strike Force, an assistant United States Attorney, the head of the Political Corruption Unit, the Chief of the New England Strike Force, and finally, the United States Attorney for the District of Massachusetts. His tenure began in 1973 and ended in 1989, when he went into private practice. The defendant will introduce three types of evidence in support of his assertion.
