How Italian Food Should Be!!

Windham Superintendent Winfried Feneberg presented three
nal options for dealing with the school districts space crunch,
during a special school board meeting held on October 29.
Originally, about 10 options had been put on the table.
Before detailing his recommendations, Feneberg commented
on the districts over-crowding and high number of students in
many classrooms. This is not going to improve in the foreseeable
future, Feneberg said, noting that there might be a slight drop
in student enrollment six years down the road, but even that was
uncertain.
Referring to last years warrant article proposing a new seventh
and eighth grade school on school-district owned property off
London Bridge Road; a concept that did not win sufcient voter
support, Feneberg said, Last years proposal was probably the right
proposal, but it wasnt supported sufciently by voters. Feneberg
was not yet Windhams superintendent at the time the warrant
article went to the ballot last March.
Despite Fenebergs support of last years concept, it is not being
recommended as a proposal for next March. Administrators have
said they dont feel a similar proposal will pass voter scrutiny at
this time. The three nal options put forth by Feneberg earlier this
week do include:
1. Doing nothing this year
2. A phased construction approach at the existing Windham
Middle School
3. Building an addition to Windham High School and moving
eighth graders from the middle school to the high school.
Feneberg said that doing nothing next March and putting any
construction project on hold until 2015 would not change current
class sizes substantially. It would, however, mean that teachers
who currently travel from room to room, rather than having a
classroom dedicated to that particular subject, would be required
to continue doing so. School board chairman Michael Joanis said
he doesnt really consider this option to be doing nothing, but
rather, waiting another year.
The phased approach to expanding Windham Middle School
has been bandied about for several years already, but has
repeatedly fallen into disfavor before it made it to the ballot
box. According to Feneberg, members of the school facilities
committee are recommending that phase one of this proposal
include 14 additional classrooms, plus a multi-purpose room.
The three-oor structure would cost approximately $14.5 million
in construction costs, plus an allowance of $3 million for site
work. Were this proposal to gain sufcient voter support, it would
allow Windham Middle School to gain State approval as a middle
school, rather than an elementary school, as it is now. It would
also allow somewhat smaller class sizes, he said. In order for the
school to gain ofcial middle school status, technology education
and family/consumer science education must be included in the
curriculum. Middle school approval also requires additional lab
science spaces.
Option 3, which involves relocating the eighth grade from
Windham Middle School to the high school, includes the
construction of an 11-classroom, plus mini-gym, two-story addition
to the high school, which opened its doors only four years ago.
The estimated cost of the addition is slightly less than $8 million.
The cons listed by Feneberg include no improvements to the
existing middle school and little change in class sizes. Also, more
staff, including administrators would be needed. It can be done,
but its not a trivial matter, Feneberg told school board members.
There would also be a negative impact on high school students,
he said, both educationally and culturally. When this suggestion
has come up in the past, it has not received much support from
townspeople.

The town of Pelham sometimes gets a bad rap for the physical
condition of its high school; however, outsiders do not realize the
amazing opportunities Pelham offers its students. This semester,
students were given the opportunity to register for 12 college
courses, earning college credit and high school credits at the same
time.
These early college credit opportunities are available through
partnerships with the Community Colleges of New Hampshire and
Southern New Hampshire University. This fall, 156 Pelham High
students took advantage of the program and began their college
education while sitting in their high school classrooms here in
Pelham.
Last year Pelham High offered 25 college courses with over 300
students enrolling for a chance to receive these credits. Along with
the accomplishment of possibly taking all their general education
classes before college, students are given this opportunity at a
cost much less than the price of a course in college. The classes
at Pelham cost either $100 or $150 and, pending their grades,
students receive full credit for the classes they take and can transfer
them to other colleges.
In the past there have been some very accomplished students
from Pelham that have taken these dual enrollment classes
through Pelham High, one of which is current freshman at Clemson
University, Alex Newton. During his education at Pelham, Newton
took six college courses along with his regular high school classes.
Newton stated, Enrollment in Pelham highs dual credit program
helped me get prepared for college courses while still in high
school. I was able to start my college career with credits I had
already earned through this program. He went on to say that he
highly recommends future students to take these classes, but before
investing students should check with their intended college that

As part of a continuous scheduling of
fundraising events, the First Congregational
Church of Pelham recently held its rst
macaroni and cheese bake-off on Saturday,
October 19. According to Angle Diack,
who chairs the committee responsible for
the contest, all the proceeds will go to the
churchs general fund. Since the departure of
the Steeple Top Pre-School and Kindergarten
from the church premises, congregation
initiated and community related fundraisers
have played an increasingly vital role in
compensating for the loss of funding.
The judging was done by the general public,
indicated Diack, who cited that the admission
cost of $5 for adults and $3 for seniors and
children (free for ages 5 and under), bought you
a sampling of each of the contestants entries,
Pelhams FCC Holds Mac & Cheese Fundraiser
as well as a sit-down mac & cheese dinner with accompanying
salad, assorted drinks, all topped off with apple crisp for dessert.
Additionally, the price of admission entitled each patron to cast one
vote for the recipe they thought to be the best.
Prizes were awarded for the top three vote getters. When the
counting was done, Brian Smiths Papas Mac and Cheese emerged
with the peoples choice award. For his efforts, Smith received the
conventional rst place blue ribbon along with a $25 Fandango gift
card. Finishing in second place was Bob Frey and his Marvelous
Mac and Cheese while a creation of Buffalo Mac & Cheese
prepared by Richard Young came in third.
In maintaining an active interest in the town of Pelham, the First
Congregational Church will be holding a free community dinner
on Friday, December 13 and invites everyone to stop by and enjoy.
Dinner is scheduled to be served from 5:45 to 7 p.m.

Windham held its ninth annual Harvest Fest on Saturday, October 19 at Grifn
Park. The fun all-day event drew in a crowd of over 800 people. The event was
kicked off with the doggie costume parade, many dogs and dog owners could be
seen dressed in both classic and some very unique costumes which they were then
to be judged on. After the dog parade came the kids costume parade which was
equally as fun for all in attendance. Of the many fun activities that were enjoyed
such as face painting, crafts and hay rides many could be seen interacting with
the strolling magician who seemed to make his way around Grifn Park to most
everyone. The event was concluded with over 45 local businesses who set up
booths around the entrance to the park where they proceeded to hand out candy
to the hundreds of children all dressed in their Halloween costumes. In between
receiving their candy kids frequently stopped to watch the juggler and stilt walker
as they made their way around the park. This years Harvest Fest might have been
the best one yet leaving many Windham familys both happy entertained.

Pelham Freemasons Held An Open House
by Marc Ayotte
I am probably not the only person out there whose knowledge
and awareness of the freemasons fraternity can be linked solely to
the simplistic and cinematic portrayal in the movie The Da Vinci
Code. For many, Freemasonry has a sort of mystique behind it,
unlike other social organizations or groups such as the Elks, VFW
and Kiwanis who also engage in community activities. However,
if you attended the Pelham Freemasons - Pulpit Rock Lodge Open
House on Saturday, October 19 and talked with Bob Bean and
James Lawrence, you would certainly have a better understanding
of the goals and history of the worlds oldest and largest fraternity.
When asked what exactly the freemasons are known for and
what their function in society is, Lawrence, who is the Lodges
current Master explained; we take good men and make them
better. Removing speculation that the freemasons is an entirely
religious based organization, Bean, who is the Lodges current
Secretary and past Master, noted; we dont believe in any one
religion, to which Lawrence added, but you must believe in
God.
Lawrence also offered that some people have quipped
Freemasonry is a moral science, to which he added and Bean
conrmed almost in stereo; that kind of says it all.
In an informational pamphlet that was available for viewing
at the Open House is illustrated some of the great men in our
history that were Freemasons, and as Lawrence indicated, they
were masons before their fame. Iconic gures such as Astronaut
Buzz Aldren, General McArthur, Franklin D. Roosevelt and the
rst president of the United States, George Washington were all
Freemasons and are depicted on the cover of the brochure to
illustrate the greatness associated with this organization.
The Pulpit Rock Lodge is one of the largest lodges in the
state as well as one of the youngest. It was built in 1976 and
was previous situated in the old Town Hall. Today, the lodge
is home to members who engage in strengthening the moral
ber of individuals in addition to being involved in countless
benevolent events geared towards helping not only the Pelham
community but surrounding towns such as Windham, Hudson and
Londonderry as well.
The Freemasons on a grander scale donate to the Pelham Fire
and Police Departments as well as offer an annual scholarship to
a Pelham High School graduating senior. We denitely center on
Pelham cited Lawrence, and also added, but we dont exclude
surrounding communities. Such was the case on the day of
the Open House when the Lodge donated space for the Dracut
(Mass.) girl scouts to host its haunted house Halloween party.
On a more philosophical front, Bean noted that the Masons
is about making men better fathers, husbands and community
members. Showing his pride for what the Pelham Lodge in
particular as well as the Freemasons in general stands for,
Lawrence elaborated by saying that the mission statement
could be depicted as such; a study of making men look within
themselves and strive to make themselves better.
In addition to holding a breakfast on the second Sunday of
the month, the members of the lodge will be hosting a spaghetti
dinner on November 9, beginning at 6:30 p.m. The event is
open to the public and will feature a cribbage tournament and
the rafing off of a generator, compliments of the Pulpit Lodge
Masons.

remember. Lest We Never forget.
We hope that you will join us.

Toughts on Cheerleading
It has been said many times that cheerleading is not
a sport. People say that it is not a sport because does
not require enough athletic ability and anyone can do
it. Tirty years ago, this statement might have been
true, but it does not apply to todays cheerleading.
Cheerleading has gotten 10 times more popular and
100 times more challenging than it was 20 years ago.
Cheerleaders do not receive the credit that they should
because they work just as hard as any other athlete out
there.
If I wanted to try to play basketball I could easily
pick up a ball and start shooting, I would not be very
good at it but I could try it without getting hurt. If
someone wanted to try cheerleading and they tried
doing a back fip or stunting, they could get seriously
hurt. Tis is because cheerleading takes a lot of skill
and practice.
Te defnition of a sport is an activity involving
physical exertion and skill in which an individual
or team competes against another or others for
entertainment. Cheerleading uses both skill and
physical exertion. Also, cheerleading teams compete
against many other cheer teams in competitions
throughout the season. All-star cheerleading is one of
the most competitive sports in the world. Each year
the best teams in the world compete against each other
in Orlando, FL. Tis competition is broadcasted on
ESPN a Sports network and has millions of viewers.
People who say that cheerleading is not a sport have
clearly never watched a modern competition.

Te Pelham High School
Renovation/Addition Plan
For nearly a year, the school board has been working
on its most ambitious project since the Windham Road
High School proposal in 2010. Starting with a meeting
of architects, construction and civil engineers as well
as district and school board representatives, a plan was
developed to remodel and expand the Pelham High
School.
Te school board anticipates putting this project
on a Warrant Article for the upcoming March 2014
Elections. It is based on the plans presented to the
board at its July 17, 2013 meeting.
Tis renovation/addition plan will address the
remaining issues specifed in the NEASC Accreditation
Report of November, 2008. It resolves concerns
regarding inadequate classroom space, poor noise
insulation, students needing to pass through active
classes to get to their classrooms, outdated science labs,
parking, and a number of other concerns including
an undersized cafeteria. In short, PHS is expected to
return to fully accredited status.
PHS currently has 33 classroom spaces in the main
building, many of which are undersized and have
one or more defciencies indicated above. Tere are
also six classrooms in the portables behind the main
building, which have been in constant use for many
years. For those interested in the numbers, PHS has
approximately 20,000 ft2 of teaching space which by
NH DOE standards is adequate for 470-plus students
at 85 percent utilization. Our September 30 enrollment
stands at 639; last year we were at 608, a 5 percent
increase.
Te renovation/addition plan calls for 46 classroom
spaces and will be suitable for an enrollment range
between 660 and 800 students at 85 percent utilization.
It will allow us to replace the portable classrooms with
permanent ones, reconfgure the classrooms in the
main building to DOE standard sizes with ambient
lighting and most importantly, give us the opportunity
to enhance the curriculum with the possibility of new
course oferings and a better learning experience.
Te 42,000 ft2 addition will be placed in front of
the existing building. Two foors of classrooms, both
standard and small group size, and various labs. Tis
building is almost entirely dedicated to teaching spaces.
To accommodate the addition, the septic system
will be moved to the felds where the tennis courts
are located. Te board recognized that the option to
move the septic system is a critical issue and has already
obtained state approval for the plans. Te tennis courts
would be moved across Marsh Road to the school
property on the corner of Marsh and Burns. Parking
will be increased by 100 spaces.
Te PHS roof will have to be replaced within the
next fve years. Tis is a big money item that has been
included in the renovation plan for $702,000. Te
roof, septic system and a number of other items which
are at the end of their useful life are included in the
renovation plan.
Yes, an auditorium is included in the plan! It is
modest in scope, with seating for 200 and a nearly full
size stage. Tis is considered a teaching space and will
be in regular daily use. Students will no longer need to
set up a makeshift stage in the cafeteria or gym for their
concerts or theater performances, and it will be available
for community events as time allows.
Safety and security is always a priority. Te plan calls
for the primary entrance to be moved to the side of the
building facing the parking lot, a secondary entrance
on the opposite that for buses and evening use (gym
and theater accessible with rest of building secured),
and portables removed so no need for students to go
outdoors to get to class. Te primary entrance also
has a second set of doors so the ofce will have better
control of visitors during school hours. Te plans have
also been submitted for review by the Fire Chief and
amended as necessary, subject to fnal approval.
Te anticipated cost of this project when it goes to
warrant article is $22,654,000. Financing is expected to
be through a 20-25 year bond issue. More details will
be provided as the warrant articles are fnalized.
Tis is a big project and a huge investment in our
community. Te board will share more information
as it becomes available. Detailed information about
the project is available online at: www.pelhamsd.org/
phsfacilities, www.pelhamsd.org/schoolboard (click
Meeting Minutes on left of screen and look for
minutes of 6/19/13 and 7/17/13).

by almost half in terms of developing
appropriately designated land. This also
limits the convenience and services available
to residents as well as tax relief.
o The cost of services to support commercial
development is very low, thus adding to
our net town income, while residential
development runs a decit.
So it is appropriate to ask are we putting
our best face forward to make commercial
development a positive, transparent and engaging
process? The only beneciaries are us the
residents of the Town of Windham.

Maguires Pub held its second annual Giant
Sidewalk Sale to benet Animal Rescue Network
of New England (ARNNE) on Sunday, September
15.
Maguires Pub cook Annie Pendergast and her
crew of friends worked long and hard planning,
collecting donations and putting a lot of manual
labor into the day. At the end of the sale they
donated $1,910 to ARNNE!
ARNNE would like to extend a special thank
you to Maguires Pub owner Mike Maguire for
allowing his employees to collect donations
for weeks, and to set up at his business. Annie
and her group are very much animal lovers,
and collect donations year round for the rescue.
Mike has a donation basket located in his
restaurant. ARNNE would never be able to rescue
approximately 150 dogs a year without people
like Annie and Mike!
About Animal Rescue Network of New England
(ARNNE):
The Animal Rescue Network of New Englands
mission is to create a united network of shelters
and rescue organization throughout New England,
all working together for a common good: to save
the lives of homeless pets. It is common everyday
practice to have to kill dogs and cats in an
overcrowded shelter to make room for incoming
animals. Meanwhile, in another shelter across
town or across state borders, there are no dogs
available for adoption. An opportunity for a pet
to nd a forever home is lost, because it sits
waiting just a few miles away. By transporting
animals from high trafc, overcrowded shelters
to more remote shelters that have waiting lists
for incoming dogs, we can save lives. For more

Heart Saver First Aid,
CPR and AED
submitted by Patrick M. Weaver, Sr. Pelham Fire Department
Sudden cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death in people over
40 in the United States. It claims approximately 1,000 victims per
day. The survival rate for a cardiac arrest outside of the hospital is
about 10 percent. It doesnt have to be though! Sudden cardiac
arrest can be treated successfully. When cardiac arrest victims
receive early bystander CPR and AED use, the survival rate jumps to
approximately 40 percent, according to the Sudden Cardiac Arrest
Foundation! The bystander is the true rst responder. Learn CPR and
be prepared to save a life.
This course is for anyone with limited or no medical training who
needs a course completion card in rst aid, CPR and AED use to
meet job, regulatory or other requirements.
Course Out Line includes: First aid basics, Medical emergencies,
Injury emergencies, Environmental emergencies, Adult CPR and
AED use, child CPR and AED use and infant CPR, video-based
course ensures consistency, Instructor-led, hands-on class format
reinforces skills prociency, and a student manual comes with a new
Heartsaver First Aid Quick Reference Guide that summarizes rst aid
actions for many injuries and illnesses.
Upon completion of this course, students receive an American
Heart Association Heartsaver First Aid CPR AED Course Completion
Card that is valid for two years.
During the course, an AHA Instructor conducts video-based
lessons and works with students to complete their rst aid, CPR and
AED skills practice and testing.
Classes will be held December 2 and 9, from 6 to 10 p.m. at the
Pelham Fire Station. The cost is $20. Sign up at Pelham Fire Station
located at 36 Village Green.

Referring back to the 1990s, Windham
Economic Development Committee Chairman
Ralph Valentine reminded town ofcials that the
recommendation for Southern New Hampshire to
source water from the Merrimack River has been
on the back burner for nearly two decades. The
river represents a whole lot of capacity thats not
being used, Valentine said.
According to Valentine, one of the reasons
commercial development in Windham is not
moving ahead as hoped is because of a lack of
municipal water. Valentine said the areas in town
being considered for municipal water include
Route 111, Route 28 and the Village Center
District. More commercial development would
help to ease the tax burden on homeowners,
Valentine emphasized.
Valentine and other members of the Economic
Development Committee are in the process of
putting together a proposal for a municipal water
feasibility study to be conducted during 2014.
Windham Selectmen all seem to be in favor of
the study, but do have differing opinions on how
to pay for it. The estimated cost of the feasibility
study would be in the neighborhood of $35,000.
Selectman Al Letizio, Jr. said he is favor of the
study and would like to see the money to pay for
it included in the 2014 operating budget. We
need to take positive steps to enhance commercial
development, Letizio said. Tax bills are so high
because 92 percent of the burden is on the backs
of residents, he explained, unlike Bedford and
Andover, Massachusetts, which has an 80/20
balance of residential versus commercial. No
water is the top reason Windham doesnt have
more commercial development, Letizio said.
Selectman Kathleen DiFruscia said she
would like to see the feasibility study done,
but recommends having it put on the ballot as
a separate warrant article; not included in the
operating budget. The residents of town should
have the opportunity to weigh in on the decision,
DiFruscia said.
Selectman Roger Hohenberger was not as
supportive of doing the feasibility study as
the other board members. Hohenberger said
he is concerned that the cost of a municipal
water system will ltrate down to residents not
even using the system. Itll be hard to sell to
the taxpayers if theres no immediate benet,
Hohenberger said. I would recommend putting
it in as a separate warrant article.
Selectman Ross McLeod said he fully supports
the feasibility study. This is not a knee-jerk kind
of request, he said. A lot of thought has gone
into this proposal. However, McLeod also wants
the issue to be submitted to voters through a
separate warrant article. A warrant article invites
more public discussion, McLeod said.
Selectmans chairman Phil LoChiatto said he
supports the study whole-heartedly. LoChiatto
also encourages plenty of public discussion on
the proposed study. Advocates for the feasibility
study need to be very clear, he said. Valentine
said the concept already has the support of the
re chief, the school board and the community
development department, as well as the economic
development committee. We are gaining
traction, Valentine assured selectmen.
In addition to reducing the tax burden on
homeowners by encouraging commercial
development, a municipal water system would
also enhance re protection through the
installation of hydrants, which are more effective
than cisterns. Lower property insurance rates can
also be had when structures are near re hydrants.
A municipal water system using the Merrimack
River would also serve to protect and recharge
ground water.

Breast cancer awareness is something that the residents and
staff at Windham Terrace feel is extremely important. With several
residents who are currently battling breast cancer and others who
have overcome the disease, the residents want the community
to understand the importance of regular screenings. Dot Nelson
and Jane Takvorian both share a little of their story in hopes of
encouraging other members of the community to take control of
their health.
Dot Nelson, a 90-year-old resident at Windham Terrace,
was diagnosed last November when a lump showed up on her
mammogram. Luckily, she was still in the rst stages of cancer and
was able to have the lump removed before the cancer spread to
other parts of her body.
My daughter was diagnosed at age 49 and her niece at age 42
with breast cancer, said Nelson. I go in for another mammogram
next month, and though I dont like them, they are necessary and life
saving. This is not something that you should take lightly.
Another Windham Terrace resident, 84-year-old Jane Takvorian,
was just diagnosed in August with breast cancer and is currently
receiving treatment and contemplating more surgery. Because of her
recent diagnosis, she has found it difcult to sleep at night and has
lost weight.
I have three different doctors which can make things very scary
and confusing, said Takvorian. I believe awareness about this
disease is so important so that others dont have to go through what
Im going through. While I ght this disease, I feel very fortunate
to have the staff at Windham Terrace and my family supporting me
through this process. They take me to all my appointments and
provide encouragement and support.
All of our residents and staff recently participated in a wear pink
day, said Alicia Sell, Life Enhancement Director of Windham Terrace
Assisted Living. All of those who have survived breast cancer or are
currently battling breast cancer wore pink to raise awareness. Our
residents are so strong and inspirational to all of us here at Windham
Terrace, and we want to share their passion for this cause with the
entire community.
For members of the public interested in nding out
more information about breast cancer, visit http://www.

What is the difference between a rock and a mineral? What
is igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rock? What is New
Hampshires state rock?
The Second Grade classes at Golden Brook School have been
studying this topic in their rst science unit of the year. They were
able to learn the answers to these questions and many more when
they attended a Rock Program put on by the New Hampshire
Audubon courtesy of the Windham PTA.
The students had a great hands-on experience, handling various
rock specimens. Some of which could oat and others they could
write with! They oooed and aaahed over the polished and shiny
specimens. Lastly, they learned that rocks vary in hardness, from
soft, sandy crumbs to hard enough to cut glass. Rocks, rock!

Voices of a Forgotten Generation
Remembered. The Pelham Public
Library will host a conversation with
Richard Rubin, author of The Last of the
Doughboys: The Forgotten Generation and Their
Forgotten War, at 6:30 p.m. at Sherburne Hall
in Pelham. Rubin spent a decade recovering
the stories of a remarkable generation and
their Great War: World War One. His journey
took him across the United States and France,
where he eventually found dozens of American
veterans ranging in age from 101 to 113. The
Last of the Doughboys is about their stories ...
the nal survivors of the millions who made
up the American Expeditionary Forces. Self-
reliant, humble, and stoic, they kept their stories
to themselves for a lifetime then shared them
at the last possible moment. The Last of the
Doughboys is more than simply a war story:
it is a critically acclaimed, moving meditation
on character, grace, aging, and memory. This
program is sponsored by the Library and the
Pelham John H. Hargreaves Memorial Post 10722,
Ladies Auxiliary, and an anonymous donor. Free
and open to the public, books will be available
for purchase/signing at the event. For more

Windhams Town Administrator David Sullivan
has warned town ofcials to be prepared for a
signicant increase in next years operating budget.
For the past several years, town ofcials have
managed to keep the annual budget increase
around zero percent. Thats not going to
happen again next year, Sullivan said, citing
approximately a half-million dollars in increases
that are not negotiable. Those increases include an
additional $360,000 in CIP (Capital Improvement
Plan) expenses, a $100,000 hike in mandatory
State Retirement costs and an additional week
of payroll. Sullivan explained that there will be
53 weeks of payroll during 2014; something that
occurs every ve years.
We have exhibited great restraint [in spending]
over the past several years, Selectman Ross
McLeod said. There hasnt been much wiggle
room. Id like to see the overall increase stay
within the ination rate (2.5%), Selectman Roger
Hohenberger said. Sullivan took exception
with Hohenbergers comment, explaining that
selectmen would need to cut about $700,000 from
the baseline budget to achieve that goal.
Im not in favor of putting a number out
there, at this point, McLeod responded. Id
much rather have staff [department heads]
bring responsible numbers to us to be vetted.
Selectman Al Letizio, Jr., who is facing his rst
round of town budget discussions, said he
didnt want to set up any expectations as to an
anticipated budget increase, at least not at this
juncture in the process. I feel as if we would be
setting ourselves up, Letizio said.
We will bring forward a responsible budget,
Sullivan said. We have to look at all the needs
and then go from there. The 2014 budget
season starts in earnest this
month.

The Windham High School theater program is ushering
in a new year of productions with a fresh take on a
tradition that dates back to the ancient Greeks: the play.
New theater director, Jake Simard, along with producer
Sophie Gandler, has big plans for this years productions
and is ecstatic to strike up a new dynamic in the WHS
theater department.
Recently hired theater director, WHS alumnus Jake
Simard, is ready to take the program head-on. He has
years of theater experience starting back in the fourth
grade. His range of experience includes the Windham
High School productions of The Drowsy Chaperone,
The Phantom of the Opera, Antony and Cleopatra,
Romeo and Juliet, You Cant Take it With You, and
Songs for a New World among countless others in
various theater groups.
His passion for the art led him to New York Universitys
Tisch School of the Arts, where he studied in the
Playwrights Horizons Theater School. He plans to bring
the unique skills he learned at the studio into his directing
style at Windham High, specically, the collaborative
art of theater. Its not just about the director; its really
about the playwright, the director, and the actor. Its about
everything and everyone, he explained. He hopes to instill
in his student that, as an actor, its your job to bring your
own experiences and yourself into the production as well
Its the actors job to bring their vision, the directors vision,
and the script into the production and put it all together.
Simard will be working alongside producer Sophie
Gandler, a Princeton graduate who minored in theater, to
make this years productions come alive. She has directed
and produced many works and has already proven an
incredible asset to the schools program. I can already tell
that shes going to be fantastic to work with, stated Simard.
Shes already giving me advice and Im already picking
her brain Im really looking forward to our collaborative
process.
Auditions are currently in process for the theater
departments December production of Twelve Angry
Jurors. The play is an adaptation of Reginald Roses Twelve
Angry Men, in which a group of strangers must determine
the fate of a boy accused of murder. This compelling tale
is one not to be missed! The production will take place on
December 6 and 7 with a matinee on December 8. The
theater department will also be putting on a musical in the
spring. News about this production will be coming soon!
Curtain Goes Up on a New Year
of Theater Productions at WHS
by Barbara OBrien
Three-quarters of the way through the year, both
the Windham Police and Fire Departments have over-
expended their overtime accounts due largely to the
unforeseen extended absence of employees and an
increase in calls for service.
This is certainly not a shocker, Finance Director and
Assistant Town Administrator Dana Call said, referring to
the overage, especially in regard to the police department.
Several patrol ofcers have been out on disability, Call
explained, adding that one ofcer has been out for a full
year, while another has been out for about six months.
As of the end of September, the police overtime account
had been expended by 152 percent. To be in line,
budgets should be 75 percent expended as of the end of
the third-quarter (September 30). At the same time, the re
departments overtime account was expended by about 83
percent.
Although Call expects there to be some off-setting savings
in the regular police salary account, it is not likely that
there will be enough to compensate for the excess overtime
expenses. However, she and Chief Gerald Lewis feel that
the overtime overages will be able to be absorbed in the
bottom-line 2013 police department operating budget.
As for the re departments over-expended overtime
budget for 2013, Call explained that off-setting savings in the
regular salary account are only minimal. However, Chief
[Tom] McPherson continually watches this line item closely,
Call said of the re chief, and he will nd other areas of
savings, within the re department budget.
I do have a responsibility to the reghters and to
the community, McPherson said. While were doing
pretty good with the bottom-line budget, we did have a
busy summer. McPherson said calls for service are up
about 8 percent so far this year, 37 percent of which are
simultaneous, meaning that more than one call for service
was received at the same time.
Referring to the bottom-line 2013 town operating budget,
which was approved at $13,036,620, by the end of the third
quarter, $8,331,056 had been spent; leaving $4,705,764 for
the nal quarter of the year.
submitted by Julie Weymouth, Operation Adopt a Soldier
Operation Adopt a Soldier (OAAS) is a non-prot organization that
helps soldiers, veterans and their families. The organization is 100
percent dependent on the donations of others with all support applied
directly to helping our military heroes. The most recent fundraiser
was held at the home of Kim and Charlie McMahon. Charlie is a NH
state representative and the McMahons are staunch supporters of the
military.
OAAS is a grassroots organization that began just over a year ago.
The founders are two women, Denise Woolf, the wife and mother of
soldiers; and Julie Weymouth, who does not have any military ties.
OAAS was formed when a by chance meeting occurred between
the two women in October of 2012. During that meeting Denise
spoke of the struggles that military families face during the holidays;
her own included, as both her son and husband were stationed

in Afghanistan and not due to return home until the summer of 2013. During
conversation the women decided that they would organize a Christmas gift drive for
the children of needy military families whose spouses were deployed. With the help
of many donors the women were able to collect Christmas gifts for over 65 families
with more than 130 children. Needless to say their efforts paid off and many military
families had a wonderful Christmas that may not have happened otherwise.
After the New Year, Denise and Julie decided that they should put their passion
to work full time and establish an organization that would help needy veterans
throughout the year; hence Operation Adopt a Soldier was born. Since then OAAS
has assisted many veterans by donating furniture, household items, food and gift
cards, assistance with VA loans, discounted rates on home inspections, etc. and
most recently were able to donate a motorized wheel chair to a disabled veteran.
Because our organization relies solely on the support of the community, we
ask you to please consider making a donation of new or gently used furnishings
or household items. All donations will go directly to a needy soldier or veteran.
Currently OAAS is conducting our second annual Adopt a Family Christmas
program; anyone who is interested in adopting a family should contact OAAS
and we will pair you with a needy family. We do not stipulate the dollar amount
or number of gifts per child, we are grateful to accept whatever you are able to
donate. We are also launching our Safe and Sound Campaign that will collect
new pillows and blankets that will be shipped to our men and woman serving
overseas who suffer from the frigid temperatures in the mountains of Afghanistan.
Anyone interested in making a donation of pillows or blankets can contact us for
pick up or can deliver them to us at the Small Business Vendor Expo to be held at
St. Josephs church on November 30 or nd our oat at the Salem NH Christmas
parade on December 1. We also graciously accept monetary donations that can
be made through our PayPal account which can be found on our website www.
operationadoptsoldier.org. Submit inquiries at www.info@operationadoptsoldier.org

Derry Imaging Center continues to offer patients the most
advanced diagnostic imaging technology with its addition of 3D
Mammography. As with all the modalities available at Derry
Imaging such as X-ray, MRI, CT and Ultrasound, cutting edge
technology is delivered to its patients at a fraction of the cost of
hospital imaging. Unlike at other facilities in the area, there is no
additional cost for 3D Mammography at Derry Imaging Center.
Referred to as Tomosynthesis, this extraordinary 3D technology
lets doctors see your breast tissue as a stack of very thin layers,
building a three-dimensional image for radiologists to view. They
are able to scroll throughout the images of your entire breast like
the pages of a book, creating the greatest
visibility into all the layers of breast
tissue. By looking at breast tissue in
one-millimeter slices, the radiologist is
given the best chance of distinguishing
super imposed normal structures from
a true abnormality. For the patient,
the experience is the same as it was
with digital 2D mammography, which
continues to be part of the 3D procedure.
With only a few more seconds of
compression in the mammography
machine, the patient will have state-
of-the-art mammography, and the best
technology available anywhere for breast
cancer screening, said Dr. Mark G.
Goldshein, one of the onsite radiologists
at Derry Imaging Center.
One of the advantages to the clarity
of 3D mammography is the reduced
likelihood of having to return for additional views due to difculty
in determining tissue irregularities. The other advantage is the
opportunity to have true abnormalities discovered much earlier than
otherwise possible. If and when a patient receives ndings that
are of concern to the radiologist, she will be introduced to one of
Derry Imagings Certied Breast Health Nurse Navigators to provide
support throughout each phase of the diagnosis and treatment
process. The Nurse Navigator supports and guides a patient and her
family through the unfamiliar territory of an abnormal mammogram,
biopsy or breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. Sara Nevares, one
of the Nurse Navigators at Derry Imaging, is proled in the October
2013 issue of Glamour Magazine in a story about young cancer
survivors.
Ninety percent of all screening mammograms are normal,
reassures Dr. Goldshein. Every woman age 40 and older should
receive a yearly screening, and there is no need to wait for a doctors
referral - each woman can schedule her own mammogram either
online at www.DerryImaging.com or by calling Derry Imaging at
603-537-1363.
A breast imaging Q&A video with Dr.
Goldshein plus other helpful videos are available
on the website, at www.DerryImaging.com.

According to Superintendent Winfried Feneberg, all four public
schools in Windham have received approval from the New
Hampshire Department of Education. The approval is received on
an annual basis.
Windham Middle School did receive approval, but, despite the
schools name, that approval was not given with middle school
status. Instead, the approval was based on elementary school
standards. In order to be approved as a middle school, Windham
Middle School would need additional course offerings. Space
constraints at the facility prevent those courses from being offered
at the present time.
While Golden Brook Elementary, Windham Center School and
Windham Middle School received full approval, Windham High
School received a conditional approval. According to Feneberg,
one standard remained to be met at the four-year-old high school
when approval documentation was reviewed. That standard, the
need for an additional geography course, has since been put in
place, Feneberg said. I expect full approval for the high school
next year, he assured school board members last month.
Feneberg explained that the State Department of Education
approval is not in any way connected with the accreditation
process at the high school. The accreditation process is a regional
undertaking conducted by an independent association of New
England secondary schools and colleges.

The Town of Windham received a bit of good news, recently,
in the form of a $24,000 New Hampshire Charitable Trust donation
from an anonymous source. Windham Rail Trail Alliance Chairman
Mark Samsel made the announcement during the selectmens nal
meeting late last month.
Samsel asked selectmen to give their approval to spend the
unanticipated money to pave one-quarter mile of the Windham
Rail Trail, as soon as possible. The section that needs to be paved is
between Roulston Road and the Route 111 pedestrian bridge. That
section was recently prepared for paving as the
result of volunteer labor.
Selectmen approved Samsels request
unanimously by a vote of 5 to 0. Voting in favor
were Chairman Phil LoChiatto, Vice-Chairman
Kathleen DiFruscia and Selectmen Roger
Hohenberger, Ross McLeod and Al Letizio, Jr.
Samsel said the project will be done in the near
future, before the ground freezes. In addition to
the $24,000 donation, the Windham Rail Trail
Alliance will be kicking in an additional $5,000
to get the job done before winter weather sets in.
The paving of this section will complete phase
one of the Windham Rail Trail.
The question remains, however, as how best to fund the second
phase of the ongoing project. Members of the Windham Rail Trail
Alliance and town ofcials are uncertain as whether to proceed with
the State Transportation Enhancement Grant (originally approved at
$180,000) or whether it would be wiser nancially for the money
to come out of town funds. Under the Transportation Enhancement
Grant, 25 percent of the project ($45,000) would need to be
matched by the Town of Windham.
As the second phase of the Windham Trail is not likely to be as
challenging as the rst section, Samsel stated, the overall cost might
be less than originally anticipated and perhaps less than the $45,000
required for the matching Transportation Enhancement Grant. We
wouldnt have the same drainage issues with the second section,
Samsel said. It might be cheaper for the town to take on the project
itself, in the long run, Samsel said.
Plans were for Town Administrator David Sullivan to contact
State ofcials to discuss the possibility of amending the scope of the
project.

In this era of continuing municipal frugality,
Windham Selectmen are thrilled to have received
a $15,000 donation from the Windham Baseball/
Softball League; enough money to construct a
rst-class batting cage at the town-owned Grifn
Park.
According to League representative Jay
Yanacco, the batting cage is to be built near
the eld house/concession building in order to
provide easy access to electricity. Referring to
Grifn Park as the premiere facility in Southern
New Hampshire, Yanacco said the new batting
cage is a necessity.
The batting cage will be constructed by Fences
Unlimited of Windham. The chain link fence
will be 12 feet high, with no roof. The ground
covering will be Astroturf. The cage will be 70 feet
in length and 24 feet wide.
Yanacco said the cage will be used primarily by
league members, prior to games, during practices,
during summer ball games and during tournaments.
When asked if town ofcials might expect the same
kind of problems that plagued the now closed skate
board park, Yanacco responded, Its not as easy as
tossing a skateboard on your arm. A coach must
be on hand at the time for the batting cage to be
used, he explained.
Selectmen voted unanimously (5 to 0) to accept
the $15,000 donation from the Windham Baseball/
Softball League. It is expected that the construction
will be completed this fall, so that the new batting
cage will be ready for use next spring when
baseball and softball seasons begin anew.

The Windham Economic Development
Committee (WEDC) recently made a presentation
to the Board of Selectmen about the need for a
Water Supply Study. The lack of Municipal Water
Supply has been identied as the leading factor
inhibiting economic development in Windham.
Selectman will be taking up the matter of placing
a Warrant Article before voters in March to fund
such a study.
The Windham Economic Development
Committees proposed Water Study is supported
by the Community Development Department,
Fire Chief Tom McPherson, and the Windham
School Board.
This is the rst of a series of articles to create
awareness about a major effort by the WEDC to
gain a thorough understanding of Windhams future
water needs. The articles will discuss key water
supply issues facing Windham. They will outline
how a municipal water system can help meet
Master Plan goals. The articles will discuss current
water sources. And they will outline three major
reasons for considering a municipal water supply
system.

submitted by the Ofce of Congresswoman Annie Kuster
On October 28, the House of Representatives passed
legislation introduced by Congresswoman Annie Kuster
(NH-02) to help eliminate the backlog of disability
compensation claims at the Department of Veterans Affairs
(VA). Kusters bill, the Veterans Claims Efciency Through
Automation Act, encourages the VA to make greater use
of automation in the processing of veterans claims to help
boost efciency and free up resources to provide more
timely services for veterans in New Hampshire and across
the country. The bill passed as part of a comprehensive
legislative package designed to help get veterans claims
settled faster and more efciently.
I am grateful that my legislation to help
eliminate the VA claims backlog passed the
House with strong, bipartisan support, Kuster
said. It is simply unacceptable that so many
of our heroic veterans are unable to get timely
access to the care and services that theyve
earned. I will keep ghting to end the backlog
until we nish the job.
Over the past six months, the Administration
has signicantly reduced backlog claims by over 30 percent,
or 190,000 claims. However, the unnecessary government
shutdown reduced the progress made on the veterans
backlog and halted appeals. Currently, there are more than
700,000 disability claims pending nationally, with nearly
410,000 in the backlog. There are 1,628 claims pending
at the Manchester VA Medical Center, 886 of which are
considered backlogged. There are an additional 821 claims
pending at the White River Junction VA Medical Center, 488
of which are considered backlogged.
A member of the House Veterans Affairs Committee,
Kuster has consistently spoken out about the need to
eliminate the VA benet claims backlog. In May, she
announced a coordinated legislative package to help the
VA meet its goal of eliminating the backlog in full by 2015.
Kuster also joined a bipartisan coalition of lawmakers in
urging President Obama to help end the back and forth
between the VA and Department of Defense (DoD) over
incompatible electronic medical record systems. In August,
Kuster launched a three-day North Country Listening Tour
to meet with Granite State veterans and discuss ways to
eliminate the backlog and improve services to our veterans.

Light Em Up, Up, Up
by Mike Bourk
The Cougars may have lit up the eld but the Pythons lit up the
scoreboard beating host Campbell 48-13.
Campbell came into the game ranked second in Division III and
leading the division in scoring. Pelham held the top ranking and
had given up the fewest points. The game was originally scheduled
for Saturday afternoon but given the ramications and interest level
in the game the administration opted to rent temporary lighting and
move the game to Friday night.
The game started off on a sour note for Pelham as Nick Johnson
suffered an upper arm injury on the rst play from scrimmage. The
junior fullback is a key part of the Python offense as he is the lead
blocker opening holes for Chris Medeiros and Chris Benjamin to
get past the line of scrimmage. Following the injury Medeiros had
a 20 yard run to cap a 66 yard drive for the Pythons. The Cougars
responded quickly scoring on their rst possession when Kevin
Moreau took a 40 yard pass from Christian McKenna for a Campbell
score. Later in the quarter, senior Joe Slattery scampered in from 34
yards out to give Pelham a 14-7 lead at the end of the rst stanza.
In the second quarter the lights came on for Pelham, both
offensively and defensively. On offense Slattery found Zack Conway
in the end zone from 15 yards out and Medeiros went in from 8
yards out. On defense Tom Gleason, Tyler Kosik, and Mahmoud
Bagegni prevented Campbell from getting any ground game going.
The solid play of defensive backs Chris Benjamin and Bryce Brown
looked against a talented group of Cougar receivers gave Zack
Masiello the time he needed to make2 big sacks in the quarter.
Campbell had a chance to cut the lead to 14 at the half drive to the
Pelham 4 yard line. With the clock running down, Zack Conway
picked a McKenna pass taking it 95 yards to put the Pythons up 35-7
at the half.
Another Slattery-Conway connection and a 1 yard plunge by Kosik
capped the Pelham scoring. Medeiros nished the game with 184
yards putting him over 1,000 for the season.
Fall Mountain had no answers for the Pelham running game or the
Pelham defense as the Pythons coasted to a 35-6 victory on Senior
Night. Joe Slattery didnt have to throw a single pass as Pelham
amassed 365 rushing yards on just 31 carries. Chris Medeiros
led the attack with 220 yards and three touchdowns on just seven
carries. Medeiros was helped out by superior blocking by Nick
Johnson, Chris Benjamin, Tyler Kosik, Tom Gleason, and Slattery.
Benjamin and Slattery also scored touchdowns.
On defense for the Pythons Zack Masiello had three sacks,
Dominic Branco had two sacks, and Jacob Brown forced and
recovered a fumble.
While Coach Clark was proud of his players efforts thus far this
season he took a moment to highlight the help he gets from his
coaching staff. I know papers like to report what the kids do and
what I have to say but tonight Id just like to mention the coaches
who help out throughout the week and on game day. My assistant
coaches Bob Crawford, Tim Guanci, Don Mullen, and of course my
dad, Dave Clark, Sr., are a big part of our programs success.

Dr. Anne Filler and her staff attended the recent
Harvest Festival held at Grifn Park. The ofce handed
out over 500 Reective Bags for eager participants to
gather their treats. The event was well attended and
was a success for all those young ghosts and goblins
that came to celebrate at the business communitys
treat fest! Dr. Filler wants to remind all who participate
in this Thursdays Halloween, to check all your candy
carefully, limit your consumption of those sugary snacks,
and do not forget to brush those teeth after enjoying
those treats! Remember, two minutes of brushing shortly
after ingestion of candy cuts down on the acid attack
on teeth. For parents who want to get rid of candy, we
are once again offering our Candy Pay Back, where the
ofces pays by the lb for candy to be sent to our military
troops. You can bring by your candy bags starting next
week.

Windham Boys Soccer Clinches First Seed Despite Senior Day Loss
by Jacob Gagnon
The defending NHIAA Division II Champions
are ready. The Windham High School Boys
Soccer squad have capped off a 15-2 regular
season by claiming the rst seed in the postseason
tournament.
The Jaguars honored their thirteen senior players
and their parents prior to the nal regular season
game on Thursday, October 24, where they hosted
11-3-1 Lebanon High School. Ive got thirteen
seniors. They started the program. They built
it from the ground up, said Head Coach Mike
Hachey. So any success we have had in the last
year and moving forward, we can thank them for
it.
Although the Jaguars remained ercely
competitive throughout the contest, the Raiders
were able to squeak by with a 1-0 victory in
Windhams rst loss in 13 games and only
shutout defeat of the season. It wasnt our best
performance, certainly, but it got better throughout
the course of the game, said Hachey. We saw
some good things. There was ght all the way to
the end but I think we arrived a little late to this
one today.
The Raiders scored midway through the rst
half as Windham struggled to retain control of the
ball. The goal seemed to awaken the home team,
as the Jaguars grew more aggressive as the game
went on.
While any loss, especially on senior night,
stings, the defeat may be the perfect measure of
motivation as the Jaguars ready themselves for
another strong playoff run. Nothing carries over
to the playoffs obviously. Its just the way youve
been playing and taking what you have learned
from this season and doing the best you can with
it, said Hachey.
Weve got some guys who have scored a lot
of goals this year. Being able to put the ball in
the net was kind of our identity, said Hachey.
We need to get back to moving the ball well,
getting to places we should be and doing what has
proved successful in the past.
The Jaguars must return to what earned them
fteen terric victories in the regular season and
what propelled them, in last years playoffs, to a
Division II Title. Its all about executing in the
playoffs, said Hachey. Ive seen us execute in
the regular season, Im pretty sure we can as long
as we come in with the right mentality.
The Jaguars want to repeat their feat from a
year ago. They also want to play to the best of
their abilities which they believe is title-caliber.
Most importantly, however, this Windham team
wants to send their senior class off with another
championship. After building the program from
the ground-up, they deserve it.
Were certainly going to miss our seniors.
Theres going to be a lot of personalities and
talent to ll after theyre gone, said Hachey.
But I dont think they want to be done just yet.
Ive known these kids for a long time and Im
condent their mindset will be in the right place
for the playoffs.
Windham Boys XC Team Earn Best
Finish at Division II Championships
by Jacob Gagnon
The Windham High School Boys Cross Country
squad, led by Head Coach Chris White, continued
their historic 2013 season with more Jaguar
milestones. On Saturday, October 26, at the
Division II Championship meet at Derryeld Park in
Manchester, Windham took 10th place (out of 20
competing teams) to earn their highest-ever nish
at the 5K meet. The Jaguars nished with 279 team
points.
Windham has improved ever since their rst
Division Meet in 2010 in which they nished in 23rd
place. In 2011, the Jaguars earned 18th place in 2011
and 12th last season in 2012.
Powering the Jaguars, as he has done all season,
was junior Brandon Bielinski. Bielinski nished in
29th overall place with a time of 17:16. It was the
best performance to date by a Jaguar at Derryeld
Park, according to Coach White. Sophomore Peter
Caron had set the record (17:41) earlier in the season.
Caron had a tremendous afternoon as well, earning
43rd overall place with a time of 17:38. Junior Nick
Khoury nished in 52nd place with a time of 17:54
while senior Alex Brissette collected 70th place at
18:20. Junior Tim Stap nished in 85th overall place
at 18:46 while classmate Jim Gustafson nished in the
100th place at 19:16. Rounding out the Windham
runners was senior Kyle Carbonneau who nished the
race in 110th place with a time of 19:39.
Field Hockey Jaguars Advance
in Postseason Tourney
by Jacob Gagnon
The Windham High School Field Hockey team, with Head Coach
Amanda Ward at the helm, has been getting the job done all season
long. After falling to Lebanon High School in the nals of the 2012
Division II Championships, 3-1, last season, the Jaguars returned to
the eld with a fury for the 2013 season.
Windham wrapped up their regular season with a 12-1-1 record.
The Jaguars avenged their only loss of the season by routing
Portsmouth High School in the nal weeks of the regular season.
With the outstanding record, Windham High secured the rst overall
seed in the NHIAA Division II Championship tournament.
After a rst round bye, the Jaguars squared off against eighth-
seeded Plymouth Regional High School. Windham surged past
Plymouth on the tide of
Courtney Sweeneys two-goal
performance. The Jaguars
advanced to the semi-nal
round with the 2-0 victory.
In the semi-nals, the Jaguars
will face fth-seeded St.
Thomas Aquinas High School at
7 p.m. at Exeter High School on
Thursday, October 31.

During the recent government shutdown many numbers were thrown
around. But there is one number that stands out and it has nothing to do
with the debate over the federal budget.
More than one a day. That is how many members of our active-duty
military, National Guard and Reserve forces have committed suicide over
the last year. Simply put, we are losing more service members by their own
hands than we are by the enemy in Afghanistan.
Only those who experienced rsthand the horrors of combat can
understand why most of these young men and women feel compelled to take
such drastic and permanent measures.
As Veterans Day ceremonies and parades occur throughout the country, it
is important that we commit ourselves to do everything possible to prevent
these needless and tragic deaths.
We are their friends, their family, their co-workers and their neighbors. It
is up to us to ensure that every veteran feels that his or her service to this
country is appreciated by their fellow Americans. There are many tangible
ways that we can acknowledge their sacrice, but the easiest is to simply say,
Thank you for what you have done for our country.
If he is showing signs of unhappiness or depression, encourage him to
seek help through the VA immediately. If she has had difculty obtaining the
benets that she is entitled to, let her know that The American Legion has
thousands of trained service ofcers nationwide that will help her navigate
the bureaucracy free of charge.
And if that veteran has made the Supreme Sacrice, remember the price
that has been paid for our freedom and offer your support to the loved ones
left behind.
But Veterans Day is a time to honor not just those who have fought for us
in battle, but in fact, all of the outstanding men and women who served in
our nations Armed Forces since our founding more than 237 years ago.
Not all veterans have seen war, but a common bond that they share is an
oath in which they expressed their willingness to die defending this nation.
Perhaps most signicant in preserving our way of life are the battles that
America does not have to ght because those
who wish us harm slink away in fear of the Navy aircraft carrier, the Coast
Guard cutter, the Air Force ghter squadron or the Army soldier on patrol.
Or they have heard the words that recently retired General James Mattis
shared with his Marines: Be polite. Be professional. But have a plan to kill
everybody you meet.
While we should all be grateful for the remarkable advancements made in
military medicine and prosthetics, the ghting spirit and inspirational stories
of our veterans are not due to technology.
These traits come from the heart.
And many of these veterans are women, such as Army Chief Warrant
Ofcer Lori Hill. While piloting her helicopter over Iraq in 2006, she
maneuvered her chopper to draw enemy gunre away from another
helicopter and provide suppressive re for troops on the ground. Despite
ying a damaged aircraft and suffering injuries, she landed the helicopter
safely, saving her crew. For her actions, she became the rst woman to
receive the Distinguished Flying Cross.
Women are major contributors to our military presence in Afghanistan
and many have given their lives in the War on Terrorism. The American
Legion recently issued a report calling upon VA to improve its response to the
unique needs of women veterans. The VA and military health systems need
to adequately treat breast and cervical cancer as well as trauma that resulted
from domestic violence, sexual harassment and assault. America is home to
more than 1.2 million women veterans and they deserve our support.
In the poem Tommy, the great writer Rudyard Kipling lamented over the
rude treatment a British soldier received at a pub. Writing in classical old
English, Kipling compared the abuse with the more favorable treatment that
Tommy receives by the public during war.
For its Tommy this, an Tommy that, an Chuck him out, the brute!
But its Savior of is country when the guns begin to shoot;
An its Tommy this, an Tommy that, an anything you please;
An Tommy aint a bloomin fool you bet that Tommy sees!
Let us always treat our 23 million veterans as the saviors of our country
that they are. Even when the guns are no longer shooting.

Feneberg was obviously not in favor of the idea
of moving eighth graders to the high school,
although it was on his short list of possibilities.
Do we want to disrupt what we have at the high
school? he asked, citing the excellent reputation
the school has earned in just a few years. It is
rare for an eighth grade to be included at a high
school, he said, and, usually, only when a school
district is experiencing declining enrollment.
That is not the case in Windham, he said.
As for the opinions of school board members,
Dennis Senibaldi was the only one who
expressed much interest in nding out more
about the possible relocation of the eighth grade
to the high school. Senibaldi did not like the
idea of doing nothing, saying that he feels
putting off any construction for another year
sends the wrong message to voters.
School board member Jerome Rekart was not
supportive of the proposed change at Windham
High School. Why spend $8 million and get
the same size classes? he wanted to know. The
idea doesnt look enticing to me, at all, he said.
Senibaldi agreed that the decision should be
based on more than just the nancial impact.
Chairman Joanis also did not like the idea of
relocating eighth graders. Its not realistic to
think you can accommodate the needs of all
these students at the high school, Joanis said.
School board member Michelle Farrell said
she wants residents to understand that doing
nothing is not a free option and that there are
nancial ramications to that choice. Windham
is still growing and needs to accommodate
the additional students, she said. At some
point, we have to make a step forward. Farrell
also nixed the idea of putting eighth graders at
Windham High School, saying the approach
feels like a Band-aid to her. School board vice-
chairman Stephanie Wimmer did not attend the
meeting.
Only three local residents took the time
to sit through the two-hour discussion. Bob
Coole, who regularly attends both town and
school meetings, was totally against putting
eighth graders in the same school with the older
students. This would cast eighth graders adrift
into a sea of nothingness, Coole said. Its not
a good idea, he said, adding that he would
recommend that the school board puts forth a
proposal to add on to Windham Middle School.
School board members are expected to narrow
down the concepts further during their next
meeting on Tuesday, November 5. The meeting
will begin at 7 p.m. and will be held at the
Community Development Building, next to Town
Hall. The public is encouraged to attend.

they will accept the credits for their major. Of
Newtons six courses from high school, Clemson
University College of Engineering accepted three,
and even though he would have liked to have
had all six classes transferred, he said, Having
three of my courses already completed in high
school is a major benet of dual enrollment.
Pelham High has been corresponding with
NCC and SNHU for over a decade to help
students save money and take college courses
while still in high school. With many other
stories like Newtons in the past, and more to
come in the future, its no wonder that Pelham
High graduates have notoriously done well for
themselves upon graduating.

Lets Serve Veterans as Well as
They Have Served Us
With Students in Pelham, Shaheen Says
Continued STEM Investments Important
for New Hampshires Economic Future
submitted by the Ofce of U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) said on October 25 educational
investments in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) are
critical to helping New Hampshire students ll the need for highly skilled
workers. Shaheen met with Pelham High Schools FIRST (For Inspiration of
Science and Technology) Robotics team, the Pelham Pythons, this afternoon
to showcase the benets of STEM education and promote policies like the
Innovation Inspiration School Grant Program to provide high schools with
new incentives to invest in STEM programs.
By making strategic investments in STEM education, Pelham High School
is helping create a talent supply for the high-tech jobs of the future, Shaheen
said. We ought to make it easier for more schools to give New Hampshire
students a competitive edge in the global marketplace, and that starts with
STEM education.
Shaheen has been a leader on STEM education efforts since her days
as Governor and is a recognized leader by STEM Connector in their 100
Women in STEM. Shaheen co-chairs the Senate STEM Caucus that was
launched earlier this year and has been a longtime supporter of programs
that would promote programs like FIRST Robotics, bringing FIRST Robotics
teams to Capitol Hill in 2011.

Winterizing Vehicles an Important Step for Drivers
As fall gradually gives way to winter, vehicle owners
often sigh at the thought of driving in winter weather or
spending weekday mornings clearing their vehicles of
ice before heading to the ofce. But manning the wheel
through another snowstorm or whittling away another
nights worth of ice from a cars windshield are not the only
rites of passage motorists must endure as cold weather
returns.
Winterizing a vehicle can improve vehicle perfor-
mance during a time of year that, in many locales, can be
especially harsh on automobiles. Low temperatures make
for less than ideal conditions for engines to run, while
potholes left behind by snow plows can damage a vehicles
wheels and may even result in at tires and a damaged sus-
pension system. In addition, salt used to improve traction
on roadways can cause rust. Short of moving to a locale
with mild winters, theres little drivers can do to protect
their vehicles from harsh winter weather. But winterizing
a vehicle can prevent some of the more common issues
drivers may encounter when the temperatures dip below
freezing.
* Take time out for your tires. Winter weather can limit
traction, putting the safety of drivers and their passengers
in jeopardy. When possible, avoid driving in the snow, and
steer clear of roads where ice and black ice are known to
form.
While such measures can greatly reduce your risk of
being in an accident, you likely cant avoid driving entirely
come the winter. Drivers who want improved traction from
their tires throughout the winter can purchase winter tires
for their vehicles. Such tires can more effectively handle
roads that are covered in snow and ice than all-season
tires. Another way to improve traction during the win-
ter months is to constantly monitor tire pressure, which
decreases more rapidly when the weather is cold. Properly
inated tires provide better traction and protect against
damage that may occur when driving over potholes.
* Consider a low-viscosity oil in the winter. The owners
manual of your vehicle may recommend you use a lower
viscosity motor oil to counter the dip in temperature thats
synonymous with winter. When the temperatures outside
fall, the oil inside your vehicle thickens, and a thicker oil
wont circulate through the engine as well. This can cause
engine problems because the engine wont be adequately
lubricated. A low-viscosity oil is naturally thinner, so it may
improve lubrication throughout the winter. The vehicle
owners manual should recommend oils based on climate.
If not, talk to your mechanic about changing from the oil
you use throughout the year to a low-viscosity alternative
during the winter.
* Inspect your vehicle before winter arrives. No one
wants to be out on the road during the rst snowstorm of
the year only to discover certain components are not work-
ing properly. Belts and hoses, while durable, can be put
through strenuous conditions during the winter months, so
a close inspection of belts and hoses should be conducted
in late fall. In addition, windshield wipers are especially
important in winter, when snowfall can drastically impact
visibility. You will want your wipers working at full capac-
ity once the winter begins, so replace older wipers (shelf
life for standard wipers is typically one year) and use a de-
icing windshield washer uid to maximize visibility.
Another component that must be inspected is your
cars battery. Many drivers have experienced a dead bat-
tery, which, in warm weather, is more of a nuisance than
a health concern. In cold weather, a dead battery can
threaten your health if you nd yourself stranded in cold
weather. Especially low temperatures can compromise a
batterys power by as much as 50 percent, so have your
battery inspected in late fall and replace it if need be.
* Dont be caught off guard. Part of winterizing a ve-
hicle is being prepared if the vehicle breaks down. Make
sure you have extra washer uid in your vehicles trunk,
and dont forget to include an ice scraper, snow brush or
even a snow shovel in the trunk as well. A snow shovel
may be necessary if you need to dig your car out if its
been buried somewhere other than your driveway. Other
items to carry in your trunk include a blanket, a change of
clothes, an extra hat, an extra pair of gloves, some nonper-
ishable food, and a few bottles of water.
Winter can be especially harsh on automobiles. But
drivers can take several preventive steps to ensure their
vehicle is safe and sound on the roads this winter.
Keeping tools like a snow brush or ice scraper in the trunk of a vehicle is one way to ready a car for the winter months ahead.
A variety of factors come into play when a person
is deciding which new or previously owned vehicle to
purchase. While body type, model year and make all are
considered, shoppers should also look into what type of
fuel the vehicle needs.
Many drivers are aware of the different grades of
gasoline available at the pump. Unleaded versions come
in regular, plus and premium varieties, which coordinates
to the octane of the gasoline. The octane rating of gasoline
tells a driver how much the fuel can be compressed before
it spontaneously ignites, rather than igniting normally from
a spark plug in the vehicle engine. Lower-octane gaso-
line can withstand less compression than higher-octane
gasoline.
Gas that ignites on its own rather than from a spark
from the spark plug causes knocking and pinging, which
can damage the engine. Therefore it is important to use
the right octane level of gasoline for a vehicle, based on
the cars compression ratio for the engine. Car engines that
are rated in a particular way will benet from the correct
octane in gasoline. Higher-performance engines commonly
found in race cars and sporty, luxury vehicles will generally
require a premium, high-octane gasoline
to run at their optimal performance. Most
cars on the market are built to take regular
87-octane gasoline.
A visit to the gas station clearly indi-
cates that higher-octane fuel costs more per gallon than
the lowest octane. Over time, lling up with premium gas
can be a signicant factor in how much it costs to own a
particular vehicle. If you are looking to save money, it is
important to consider just how much of your budget will
be devoted to fuel costs. A vehicle that requires premium
gasoline instead of regular gasoline may end up costing a
few hundred dollars more per year based on the size of the
fuel tank.
It is important to note that using a higher octane fuel in
a vehicle that is not rated for it will not increase perfor-
mance -- it only will end up costing you more. Thats
because the octane rating refers to how much energy
it takes to ignite the gasoline and at what point in the
compression cycle, not how much power the gasoline will
put out. Premium gas will not improve gas mileage or give
the vehicle more oomph if the engine is not designed to
accommodate a higher-octane fuel. In fact, engines that are
not designed for high-octane gas may actually lose power
because it burns so much slower and the ignition timing is
not tuned for it.
It is always wise to consult with the owners manual to
determine the type of fuel that will offer the best perfor-
mance in the car. Those shopping for a new vehicle should
pay attention to octane ratings and not assume that every
car they test drive is best when running on regular octane.

Thumbs down to the Pelham Fire Dept for
putting into their operating budget a $700,000
truck, this should have been put up as a warrant
article so the town could vote on it. How sneaky,
and now theyre saying they want another building
for storage, isnt the new re station big enough,
are they selling their homes and moving into
it? Our taxes have already been raised too high,
when is it going to stop with the greediness, this
town only has about 12,000 people and they want
a Taj Mahal.
Thumbs up to the family on Mitchell Pond
Road in Windham who said (weather permitting)
they will be doing their big Halloween Trick or
Treat display again this year! Its kid-friendly and
always good fun for the whole family!
Thumbs up/Thumbs down. My wife and I
were riding on the rail trail in Windham, when
approaching someone normally I say loudly on
your left with no response so I said it again louder
with no response. Right away I knew something
was wrong. I have a nephew and niece that are
deaf so I slowed down, and then someone behind
me said she is deaf. I stopped beside her and
said to her that I was going past and she nodded.
I wish that I stopped and told the person who
should have been watching her how irresponsible
it was leaving her unattended. There are a lot of
cyclists riding the rail trail system to stay away
from trafc. I feel this person was day dreaming
in the wrong place and time.
Thumbs up to the Pelham Elementary School
Special Education Department. I am so grateful
for the services that my son receives and the
wonderful therapists, teachers and Instructional
aides that have made his rst grade year excellent.
Thank you for everything that you do for him.
Thumbs down to the PHS Booster Club
President! You are alienating your volunteers to
the point of making them quit. You are going to
bring this wonderful organization to its knees!
You need to nd a way to talk to people in a
nice way and to nd a way to value and trust
your volunteers or you are going to have zero
help next year. You have some wonderful people
volunteering and you are acting like a tyrant.
Can you please do your duties as a President and
leave the rest to the other board
members and volunteers or you
will be doing it all by yourself
next year. Why do you think
that no freshmen parents came
to the last meeting?
Thumbs down. 100 thumbs
down to the Pelham Tot Soccer
Green Monster coaches! It was
so great that at the last game
of the season you both decide
just not to show up! No phone
call, no nothing! What is worse
is that you obviously knew you
were not coming to the game
on Sunday as you for some odd
reason gave out the kids medals
at Wednesday nights game in
the dark! All of the other teams
with caring coaches showed
up at Sundays game and gave
out their medals in the sun light
and parents took pictures! Nice way to be role
models for 3 and 4 year olds! You both should
be ashamed of yourselves and never allowed to
coach again! Thank you to the two dads who
stepped up for our children ... You deserve the
thumbs up!
Thumbs up Pelham. Thumbs up Mr.
Complainer for giving us all a good laugh. We
humor you by listening to your daily complaints
about everyone and everything about Pelham
sports. We just listen and walk away shaking our
heads hoping you will see no one is agreeing with
you. You also need to develop some manners
when speaking with others, unless you feel
making a fool out of yourself is normal.
Thumbs down. Way to go Pelham High,
giving kids detention simply because they had
ADHD! Thats giving them the help they need,
how about actually helping them try to succeed,
rather than punishing them for not being the
square peg tting the square hole.
Thumbs up/Thumbs down. It has just been
brought to my attention recently that the Pelham
Fire Department feels that they need more room
to store their extra equipment,
and they want the town to pay
for it. I think this is absurd,
appalling. It is bad enough that
we are paying full service for
ambulance and everything else.
I dont think this department
has ever put a re out. I think
the Pelham voter better take a
look at this. This re department
is going to cost us a lot more
money down the road. Good
luck, Pelham.
Thumbs up/Thumbs down.
Superintendent Feneberg said
enrollment is holding steady, actually diminished
by 15 students. And yet the teacher rep, Mike
Jonas, says there are 60-80 more students. Whats
up with that? Seems like the left hand doesnt
know what the right hand is doing. Yikes.
Thumbs up to all you readers who take this
challenge! I challenge you for one week to only
call this column with positive comments. Lets try
one week with no thumbs down. Can you do it?
Thumbs down to millions of taxpayers
dollars being spent for handouts to 75 and over
elderly property owners who cannot afford to
pay their taxes. This money is never repaid to
the taxpayers. There should be liens placed on
these properties so that the town can recoup their
money at the time of the owner(s) death(s). If
the town was generous enough to pay taxes for
these residents in their time of need, then they
should be more than willing to have a lien placed
on their property. It has come out recently that
some elderly residents go into nursing homes,
and their children never notify the town. In some
cases, because elderly resident are sickly, other
relatives move in to care for them and they live in
this home tax free. Taxpayers need to speak up
and demand a huge change in this outdated, very
expensive program.
Thumbs down to the selsh person that
invaded my home and broke into my locked
bedroom. You stole cash from my drawer, but
nothing else? I just wanted you to know that you
stole from a hard working single mother, and that
money was from my scrimping and scrounging
so I could buy my kids Christmas gifts this year.
Youre a horrible person and youve ruined my
little familys Christmas.
Thumbs down to the person who came up
with the idea to have a side of Steamed Broccoli
with a Maple Burstn Pancake Lunch. I am all for
the kids eating a healthy lunch but lets not get
gross about it, this is just wrong! What happened
to the good lunch we had as kids, the mashed
potatoes, rice, turkey and gravy, roasted chicken,
veggies? They have Crispy Ham what the heck is
that? Gross! I think we can do better for the kids
and teachers!
Thumbs up to Pelham, a great way to get to
Salem from Hudson.

Uncollected Impact
Fees Cannot be Collected Now
by Barbara OBrien
Impact fees are collected by a municipality to help offset the
added expenses that are likely to result from new residential
development. There are public safety impact fees, as well as school-
related impact fees.
The Town of Windham has been able to assess and collect public
safety impact fees since 2008. It began collecting school impact fees
in 2005. It recently came to light, however, that town staff members,
those responsible for assuring that the process is done correctly,
made some miscalculations. As a result, the public safety impact
fees that should have been collected for new single-family housing
units were under-assessed by $37,283 and, according to State
Statute, cannot be collected now. These uncollected impact fees
represent 23 residential building lots.
Although impact fees are determined at the time the planning
board approves a development, they are not actually collected until
a building permit is issued. The period between planning board
approval and the issuance of a building permit is known as the
grandfather date. It appears that changes in the length of time
grandfathering is in effect might be the reason the mistakes were
made by Community Development Department staff members. If
a building permit is not issued during the grandfather period,
the impact fee is no longer based on the date the planning board
approved the development and may differ going forward.
According to Community Development Director Laura Scott,
miscollections and errors made by staff were the result of a
misinterpretation of State Statutes pertaining to the impact fee
issue. It should have been collected and wasnt, Scott said. Scott
explained that the length of time grandfathering was in effect
changed three times during the past decade, causing the confusion.
Town Administrator David Sullivan agreed with Scotts opinion. It
is very confusing, Sullivan said. It was an interpretation mistake.
Scott described the changes in the State Statutes as quirky.
Although $37,283 was not collected as it should have been, Scott
said that approximately $112,000 in public safety fees (re and
police) were collected between 2008 and 2013.
As for whether or not school impact fees have been assessed
properly, the answer will have to wait until after the upcoming 2014
budget season has been completed. There just isnt sufcient time
to do the research now, Sullivan told selectmen. Over the years,
we may have not collected enough, Scott said. In other cases,
we may have collected too much. Scott said refunds can be made
to those developers who might have been overcharged on impact
fee assessment. It could be a negligible amount, Sullivan added,
referring to any possible mistakes in the collection of school impact
fees.
This is just not acceptable, Selectmens Vice-Chairman Kathleen
DiFruscia said, making reference to the money that was inadvertently
not collected and also any money that might have to be returned to
developers. Selectman Al Letizio, Jr. said that he feels the system is
challenging, at the very least. The issue is expected to be discussed
further sometime after the beginning of 2014.

Senior Nights Abound for PHS Sports Teams
by Marc Ayotte
It was an extremely busy, albeit rather unsuccessful stretch for
the Python sports program over the past two weeks as a total of ve
teams celebrated their respective senior nights; with four of them
going down to defeat. In addition to the Lady Python volleyball and
eld hockey teams recognizing their seniors during Homecoming
festivities on October 18 and 19, the girls soccer team played
its nal home game and honored its seniors one week later.
Additionally, the boys soccer team acknowledge its senior players
in the afternoon session of the Saturday, Homecoming triple header,
while the football team celebrated their special time when they
closed out the schedule of events with a Saturday night game under
the Harris Family Field lights.
Season Wind-Down
In a collective collapse, all three Lady Python teams faltered down
the stretch, going a combined 0-18; with all three teams missing
eligibility for post season play. The eld hockey team nished 18th
in a 23 team eld with a 2-10-2 record on the year. However,
despite losing its last ve games of the year, they played very well
in the last two games in a desperation attempt to qualify for the
post season. It was not to be, as they lost a grueling 3-0 battle to
regular season champions Derryeld (14-0) and a heartbreaking 1-0
overtime decision to Pembroke on senior night.
The soccer team incurred a difcult season, winning just a pair of
games in their 16-game schedule nishing just two spots out of the
division III cellar. In losing the last eight games of the season, the
Lady Pythons suffered a rivalry loss to nearby Windham by a score
of 10-1 as well as a 6-3 Homecoming loss to Bishop Brady; with
the bright spot on the day coming from the hat trick performance
of Brooke Paradis. The Lady Pythons lost their last two games of
the season; an 8-1 verdict at Campbell and a 4-0 blanking against
Raymond on senior night.
Coach Jen Nugents volleyball teams bid for the playoffs came up
short when they nished the season on a ve game skid. Included
in the demise was a crucial home loss against Plymouth on October
18. A disappointed Nugent noted that the team had a solid, all-
around effort against the Bobcats but still dropped the match in
straight sets; 18-25, 16-25 and 20-25.
According to Nugent, three players stepped-up statistically on
the defensive side of the net, with Alana Eschbach (34 digs), Kelsey
Grimard (33 digs) and Julia Barsalou (20 digs) leading the way in the
back court. Offensively, Holly Joyce led the team with 15 hits (one
kill) while the outside hitter attack-tandem of Alyssa Paradis (10 hits)
and Eshback (four hits, one kill) chipped in nicely. From behind the
service line, Kaylie Apkarian led the Pythons with nine service points
(two aces).
On senior night, 72 hours later, Pelham dropped a 1-3 senior
night decision to the visiting Spartans by scores of 15-25, 28-26,
14-25, 7-25. Earning the praise of the Python coach were defensive
specialists Kelsey Grimard (39 digs), Alana Eshbach (26 digs), Julia
Barsalou (21 digs) and Lilia Owens (16 digs) of whom she indicated;
kept up the intensity fueling, lengthy rallies.
Meanwhile, the boys soccer team ultimately suffered the same
fate as their girl counterparts. Although, heading into the month of
October, and despite a mediocre 4-4 mark at the time, the Pythons
were well positioned in the D-III standings. But losing seven of its
last eight games, including a key 3-2 senior day loss to Sanborn on
the last day of the season, eliminated Pelham (5-11) from partaking
in the state tournament.
After suffering a dismal 9-0 defeat on the road at Hopkinton on
October 16, the Pythons were pitted against fth ranked Raymond in
the Saturday matinee on Homecoming weekend. Fighting for their
playoff lives, Pelham battled the Rams to a zero-all deadlock through
the rst 70 minutes of regulation. Hands down we controlled the
whole game, reected rst year coach Matt Miller. Unfortunately,
in the games 71st minute, a loose ball inside the Pelham eighteen
resulted in the difference maker; not only determining the outcome
of the game, but also effectively putting them in a must win situation
for their remaining two games.
Three days later at Mascenic Regional, Pelham answered the
challenge by defeating the Generals for the second time this season;
a close-to-the vest 4-2 decision reective of the playoff atmosphere
the Pythons found themselves in and unlike the 10-5 explosion
on opening day. PHS jumped out to a 2-0 lead on goals by Eric
Guinasso (13th of the year) and Harley Kearney. After Mascenic
cut the Python lead in half, Dylan Sacca (second of the year) scored
in the 39th minute to give his team a 3-1 cushion heading into the
break.
Mascenic made things interesting in the 66th minute with their
second goal of the game but the game was put to bed in the 78th
minute when Victor Romeo also scored his second of the season; the
insurance goal that produced the nal 4-2 outcome.
With a win against Sanborn on the nal day of the season, the
Pythons, as standings revealed, would have clinched the nal spot
for post season play. Unfortunately, Pelham spotted the Indians 3
goals in the rst 13 minutes of play and were never able to catch the
Tribe; dropping a 3-2 decision and thus letting all the air out of the
Python playoff balloon.
Although the season was disappointing from the team perspective
which was low-lighted by seven one goal losses, one highlight
came in the form of an individual record-setting performance.
Senior striker Harley Kearney shattered the school goal scoring
record which he set the year before by pouring in a jaw-dropping 29
goals to go along with nine helpers. Fellow senior Derek Sage led
the team in assists by recording 10.

Championship dreams of the Jaguars? Or, with the playoffs looming,
was the dominating performance a statement sent out to rest of the
teams in the division?
For Head Coach Bill Raycraft, the reason for the victory was
simple: The Jaguars got the job done. We did our homework, the
kids came out prepared and got it done, said Raycraft.
Also serving as motivation was the belief that, due to the current
standings towards the end of the season, the winning squad
would earn home eld advantage for the rst playoff game of the
postseason. Thats what we talked about before the game. One
of us is going to host a playoff game and Id rather have it here (in
Windham), said Raycraft. Im glad they (the team) got it done.
The Pioneers struck rst, scoring midway through the rst quarter.
It was the only time all afternoon that Windhams defense appeared
anything but dominant. A Trinity interception thrown by junior
Brendan McInnis concluded the Trinity-controlled rst quarter.
The Jaguars struggles ended in the second quarter of play. After
a pair of stops for both teams defenses, Windham junior Troy Peters
intercepted a Trinity pass at the visitors 20 yard line. After McInnis
ran the ball all the way to the four yard line, senior Guillaume
Gauthier drove into the end zone to tie the game. An extra point
booted by junior Anthony Gallo gave the Jaguars a lead that they
would retain for the rest of the game.
His legs are going to win us more games than his arm, said
Raycraft about McInnis. We need him to put that pressure on
defenses. He is a threat and the offensive line did a great job.
Trinity was unable to regain their rhythm on offense on the next
series as Windham junior Kellin Bail recovered a Pioneer fumble in
the nal few minutes of the rst half. With 34 seconds remaining
in the half, McInnis found fellow junior Gallo in the end zone for
a touchdown. Their classmate, fullback Kurtis Jolicoeur, ran in for
the two-point conversion to extend the home teams lead to 15-6.
With time running out and Trinity growing desperate, Jolicoeur and
classmate Davis Potter sacked the Pioneer quarterback to end the
half and set the tone for the rest of the contest.
I cant say enough about our defense. A lot of credit has to go to
them, said Raycraft. They rose up to the occasion and got the ball
back in the hands of the offense. Thats what we preach.
It felt great to have everything come together like this. Everything
was clicking; offense, defense, special teams, said McInnis.
It was more of the same in the second half with the Windham
High juniors leading the way. McInnis began the third quarter,
following a couple of completions and rushes, with a nearly 25-yard
touchdown pass to Bail, followed by another two-point conversion
from Jolicoeur.
Trinity responded with a touchdown on their next possession but
their two-point conversion attempt was stopped by the Windham
defense to keep the score at 23-12. After gaining yardage with
the quarterback keeper, McInnis pitched the ball to Bail from the
goal line to score with 1:34 left in the third quarter. Once again,
Jolicoeur found the end zone to score his third two-point conversion
of the game and push the lead to 31-12.
Bail, like most of the Jaguars, got the job done on both sides of the
ball. Trinitys rst play of the fourth quarter was picked off by Bail.
McInnis then launched a long touchdown pass to classmate Joey
Frake. McInnis ran the two-point conversion in himself.
We werent just playing for these guys this year. We were playing
for the guys we said goodbye to last year, our seniors, said McInnis.
But it wasnt our main priority. We just knew we had to get the job
done.
Jolicoeur pushed his way into the end zone at the midway point
of the fourth quarter, this time for a touchdown, to give Windham
the 45-20 advantage. The Jaguars offense returned to the eld once
more with three minutes remaining in the game. After a pair of big
gains from the usual suspects, sophomore Shane Lafond scored for
Windham. The Pioneers downed the ball in the nal minute of the
game. The nal score was 52-20 in favor of the Jags.
Well see these guys in two weeks and we know we have a great
opportunity in front of us in our rst-ever home playoff game, said
McInnis.
This is a meaningful game for us but were going back to work,
said Raycraft. The big one is Sanborn. Theyre a big team, theyre a
playoff team and were playing them here under the lights so I dont
think theres any reason not to be pumped.
Windham High School will host Sanborn Regional this Friday,
November 1st in their annual Blackout Cancer game. Proceeds
from the sale of shirts, concession and tickets will go to the
American Cancer Society. The contest, last year, earned more than
$3,500 for the ACS. This years goal is to surpass that mark while
also raising awareness. The Jaguars hope to wrap up their season
with a win as they play for a wonderful cause.

Pair of Pythons Advance to X-C Meet of Champions
by Marc Ayotte
The Pelham boys and girls cross country teams
competed on Saturday, October 26, in the 2013
NH D-3 state championship at the Derryeld
course in Manchester. Going into the Division III
State Meet, the Pelham Girls Cross Country Team
felt they could run well and nish either second
or third in the race of 21 teams. Unfortunately
in the sport of Cross Country, all that one has
accomplished throughout the year can be quickly
erased by one race on Derryeld Park in late
October, reected Pelham Athletic Director and
girls X-C coach.
With the Lady Pythons number one runner
struggling to a 30th place nish, and their
number 5 runner suffering from leg cramping
and dehydration, the Pelham girls settled for a
fth place nish; still qualifying for the team
competition in the Meet of Champions (MoC) on
Saturday, November 2, at Mines Falls in Nashua.
The highlight of the meet came from junior
Andrea OHearn. The Pythons number 2 runner
qualied for the individual component of the
MoCs by way of her 22nd (22:28) place nish
in the 164 runner eld; improving upon her
Derryeld personal record by nearly 25 seconds.
Coming in second for PHS was season-long
front runner Shay Harrington
(23:18), who struggled on
the hilly course to nish 30th
overall. Shay has led us all
year, noted Kress, adding
two weeks ago she beat the
girl who won this race today
(Sarah Nadeau, Hopkinton
19:29). Unfortunately, today
was just not her best day.
Kress continued by expressing
his thoughts about her
performance; I am proud that
she gutted it out and nished
the race anyway.
Chasing Harrington to the
nish line was senior Rhiannon
Snide (23:28), who nished
just three spots back, in 33rd.
Next was fellow senior and
captain Avery Goss (23:56)
in 41st. Both of these girls
gave their team everything
they had this year. Strong
leadership, consistent running
in the number three and
number four spots. I am proud
of both of them, revealed
Kress. Rounding out the top
5 for Pelham was Freshman
Jaime Grimard (25:20) in 63rd.
Sophomore Emily Ennis nished
just out of the team scoring
positions for Pelham, nishing
in 70th.
Recapping his teams
performance, Kress noted;
we ended up fth by a few
points, so even though it was
not a great day for us, the
girls fought all the way in and
still accomplished a modest
goal of making it to Meet of
Champions. With ve of the top 7 returning
next year, including the top two (Harrington and
OHearn), the future looks bright for the Python
Harriers, noted an optimistic Kress. In a plea to
strengthen the programs numbers, he added; we
need to get more girls out for this team next year.
We had a nice ten this year, but ideally you want
15-20 each year; (it) makes for more inner team
competition, which in return makes the whole
team better.
Leading the boys team was Bryce Blanchard
who crossed the nish line in a time of 17:58
which also was good for a 22nd place nish
among 195 runners. Like OHearn, Blanchards
nish in the top 23 earned him a spot in Saturdays
MoCs. Rounding out the top ve scorers for
Pelham were: Mattsen Bradbury-Koster (2nd, 44th
overall, 18:51), Chris Kaberle (3rd, 67th overall,
19:25), Sutton Bradbury-Koster (4th, 74th overall,
19:32) and Alec White (5th, 76th overall, 19:48).
Ryan Higgins nished just out of the scoring
position with a 6th place showing (19:48, 86th
overall).
Bryce Blanchard (Pelham) gets out to an early lead in the feld of 195 runners;
the Python sophomore fnished 22nd and qualifed for the Meet of Champions
Lady Python Andrea OHearn receives a medal from the
NHIAAs Hank Basil for her 22nd place fnish in the 2013
Division III state championship; OHearn by way of her
fnish, will advance to the MoCs in Nashua on November 2
