How Italian Food Should Be!!
From Napoli, Italy to Salem, NH
How Italian Food Should Be!!
by Jillian DiPersio,
Windham High School Intern
On Saturday, May 17 the Danversport
Yacht Club hosted our 2014 Windham High
School Junior-Senior prom. After hours
of what was for some of us painstaking
preparation and hundreds of pictures taken
at friends houses, all the students attending
the event headed to the high school for the
rst annual mandatory grand march.
Parents lined the walkway to the school,
cameras poised and ready, as the students,
decked out in oor-length gowns and
tuxedos, walked down the red carpet and
boarded the buses destined for Danvers,
Mass. I was so impressed with the grand
march, said WHS guidance counselor Julie
Lichtmann. We had so many community
members that were here, the parents loved
seeing all the kids dressed up and it looked
like the kids had a ball at the prom.
As the venue was approximately 45
minutes from the high school, taking the
bus was mandatory for all students in
attendance. Despite the fact that at rst
many students were upset that they could
not drive themselves or rent a limo, the bus
ride was almost an added bonus, giving
students more time to chat with friends.
I liked the bus ride because I got to talk
with my friends and just sit for a while
and have fun without the hassle of driving
somewhere, says WHS junior Brynn
Roche. It was also a time to see a different
side of our favorite teachers, as Mrs. Mary
Anderson, dean of Mathematics at WHS,
squished onto the seats with us to take a
quick snapshot. She says taking all the
seles on the bus was one of her favorite
parts of the night, second to the grand
march.
The venue, the Danversport Yacht Club,
was breathtaking. With an enormous
chandelier hanging from the ceiling over the
dance oor and a deck that overlooked the
harbor outside, students had two beautiful
options of where to spend the evening.
Despite the fact that it was so far away, the
venue was a hit with the students. Junior
Sophia Tausanovitch says that despite the
distance she liked that she got to look over
the water and everything. It was pretty
cool. The building was alive with activity
that night, a wedding even taking place just
below the deck. Students cheered as the
bride and groom kissed.
We had all been holding our breath, as
the weather forecast at rst seemed bleak
with a 100 percent chance of rain. The hot
topic for the week at school had been What
will the weather be like for the prom?

Unless you have a student in the elementary school
you most likely dont know how the lunch program has
changed.
As part of the healthy eating program Chef Nicole
Barreira, the corporate chef for the Great New Hampshire
Restaurants Corporation, which includes T-Bones and
Cactus Jacks, was at Pelham Elementary for lunch and
to introduce a side dish with couscous as the primary
ingredient. Surprising? Not when you consider that this
is all part of healthy eating supervised by Kelly Rambeau
whose title in the Pelham school system is nutritional
services director, but whose role has many challenges.
Getting the students at all three schools to eat healthy,
control the cost of the meals and follow national
guidelines for school nutrition programs.
Couscous is a traditional North African and Middle
Eastern dish made from precooked coarsely ground
semolina, the rich endosperm extracted from durum
wheat. Think of it as tiny little pastas, which is how Chef

Its not uncommon for members of the same family to enter the eld of
reghting or law enforcement, but what is unusual is when two brothers
dedicate a combined total of more than eight decades. One of those
brothers, James Brown, was recognized earlier this month for his 40 years
of full-time service to the Windham Fire Department. These four decades
dont even include the additional years of part-time service Jim has devoted
to the town he calls home.

Eagle Scout Project Approved at High School
by Barbara OBrien
Windham School Board members are enthusiastic about
a proposed Eagle Scout project to be completed this coming
summer at the nearly ve-year-old high school.
Eighth grader Hayden Wilson, a member of Windham Boy
Scout Troop 266, plans to construct a 12-by-12-foot wooden
deck between the press boxes at the high schools athletic
eld. The proposal was previously reviewed by Windham High
School Principal Ryan Kaplan and Athletic Director Bill Raycroft.
This will be a wonderful contribution to the school district,
Superintendent Winfried Feneberg said. Its a very benecial
project.
The estimated cost of the project is $1,100. Hayden is seeking
donations of cash or materials to offset the cost. Fundraisers are
also being planned.
The full school board agreed to allow the project to go forward.
This is a very worthwhile undertaking, School Board Chairman
Jerome Rekart said. Board member Rob Breton noted that the
new deck would help enhance safety in the area where it will be
constructed. Its a great project in terms of functionality, Breton
said. Kudos to Hayden for coming up with the idea.
An Eagle Scout is the highest rank available in Boy Scouts.
In addition to earning numerous merit badges, a scout must
also complete a community service project to attain this rank.
Nationwide, less than two percent of boys who initially enter the
Boy Scouts achieve the rank of Eagle Scout. A boy must reach the
rank of Eagle Scout prior to celebrating his 18th birthday.

Help Needed to Complete
Faces Never Forgotten Project
submitted by New England Newspaper and Press Association
The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund is asking newspapers
throughout the country to help nd pictures of soldiers from
their communities who were killed in action in Vietnam for the
new Faces Never Forgotten project. This project is an online
interactive display, and people will also be able to view it at
the new Education Center thats being built near the Vietnam
Memorial Wall on the National Mall.
Out of the 58,000 soldiers killed, the VVMF still needs 24,000
pictures. In light of such a big challenge, theyd like local
newspapers to help locate a picture of any of the soldiers from
their circulation area that dont already have a picture in the
display. Conceivably, your paper could run an article asking
if anyone has a picture of the soldier(s) - perhaps as part of an
upcoming Memorial Day feature, and you could also check your
own archives for a news, activity or sports photo. Some papers
may even be willing to contact the local high school to see if it has
a yearbook picture to honor an alum in the display who is missing
a photo.
Here is the request from the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund:
The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund Faces Never Forgotten
project needs help obtaining missing photos of Vietnam veterans
from New England. These photos will help complete an electronic
Wall of Faces in the new education center at the Vietnam
Memorial Wall.
View the gallery in progress at http://www.vvmf.org/Wall-of-
Faces.
These are moving tributes to fallen soldiers. Would you please
help us locate a photo of each soldier from your area?
Check the display, and if there is a soldier from your area who
is missing a photo, perhaps you could check to see if you have
a photo in your newspaper archive and/or run a notice in your
paper. If you obtain the photos, just send them to NENPA and
they will forward them on to the VVMF.
Guide to determining which photos are needed
The following are instructions are on how to get the updated
status of the photos in the display.
1. Go to: http://www.vvmf.org/Wall-of-Faces
2. Click Advanced Search, to the right of the search box
3. Input the city, county, or state that coincides with your
circulation area
4. Scroll to the last box and check: Does Not Have a Default
Photo
5. Hit Submit
This will show any names of soldiers from your area that is
missing a photo.
Thank you for your help with this very worthwhile tribute.
Please send photos to: New England Newspaper & Press
Association, Faces Never Forgotten, 370 Common St., Dedham,
MA 02026. For more information contact Megan Sherman at

Scout Pack 610
Places 3rd in
Chuckwagon Derby
submitted by Lucy Wilkerson, Assistant Cubmaster
The Cub Scouts in Pelhams Pack 610 have a lot to be proud of this spring. Their
wagonload of young Scouts placed third overall in the annual Chuckwagon Derby
Competition
The Chuckwagon Derby or race is the ofcial spring program kickoff. District
wide scouts compete
in wagon teams where
they are scored on
scout spirit, teamwork,
cooperation and scout
knowledge. The route
takes the wagons
around Long Pond in
Manchester where they
stop at 12 checkpoint
stations. Each station
is staffed by the older
Boy Scouts who have
challenges for the teams
to complete. The boys
used wrist rockets, BB
guns and archery to
show off their skills. They displayed their team work in the practice of emergency
rescue and the obstacle course.
This annual event takes
place at Camp Carpenter in
Manchester. Dont let the
location fool you. Once
you enter the gates at Camp
Carpenter you get the feeling
you are remote camping. With
so many beautiful camps
in New Hampshire, Camp
Carpenter has been rated the
number 2 Cub Scout Camp in
the USA.
For Cubmaster David
Wilkerson, the shining moment
came when the boys won rst
place in the obstacle course
challenge. The reason you ask?
For more than half of the Scouts in 610, this was their very rst Chuckwagon.
Is your son entering
the rst grade in
September? You can
enroll him now in
scouting. There are
no pre-requisites for
scouting so boys in
Grades 1-5 can join
at any time. To learn

Wanting to Give Back as NH Rep
I believe in service and giving back. I have served
my community in diferent ways since moving to
New Hampshire in 2005, but its time for me to step
up and get in the game ofcially. For these reasons, I
intend to seek to serve Windham in the NH House of
Representatives.
Almost immediately upon moving to the Granite
State, I became involved in my new community.
I served on the board of the New Hampshire
Homeschooling Coalition, a statewide homeschool
support organization. I also coached and served
on the Board of Directors of the Pelham-Windham
Razorbacks, a local football and cheer team, for multiple
years.
I have served on the board of the non-partisan
New Hampshire Liberty Alliance (NHLA) and it
was in this capacity that I became involved in state
policy, particularly education issues. For years, I have
advocated for school choice, empowering parents
in their childrens education, and privacy rights. In
recent years, I began covering
Second Amendment legislation
for the NH Chapter of the Second
Amendment Sisters. Along the way, I have advocated
for greater transparency and accountability of our public
ofcials, smaller government, and individual rights.
And Im honored to have contributed to organizations
that keep Concord accountable to her citizens.
Additionally I have served as a board ofcer
for Liberty Harbor Academy, a private school in
Manchester, and the Educational Choices Foundation
in Windham and continue to volunteer for the Network
for Educational Opportunity, a 501(c)(3) scholarship
organization that benefts underprivileged families
across the state.
My husband and I moved our family to New
Hampshire to improve our lives, our choices, and our
future. Now, with my children growing up and taking
their frst steps into young adulthood, I want to give
back to in a more tangible way, serving the town I love
in the NH House of Representatives.
I look forward to getting to speak with you in the
coming weeks and to earning your support in the
upcoming elections.

Make the Last Night a
Safe One for Graduates
Since 2012, WHS parents and other members of our
community have produced Last Night, an all-night,
alcohol and drug-free party exclusively for graduating
seniors. Our goal is to provide an evening of fun and
safety on graduation night. In a short two or three
years, your sons and daughters will be treated to the
same send-of which features live entertainment, a DJ,
hypnotist, Henna tattoo artists, photo booth, bingo,
rafes and much more. In addition, food is served
and prizes are awarded. Common areas of the school
are decorated in a Hollywood theme complete with
a red carpet, strobe lights, and walk of fame stars for
graduates.
We invite you to participate in this years event. All
parents and guardians of undergraduates are being
invited to lend a hand. As you may already know, the
senior parents and guardians are not allowed to attend
Last Night as it is clearly their turn to enjoy all the
excitement and activities that graduation brings. Tat
means when your child is a senior you do not have to
help out during the event either.
Please support our fundraising eforts by donating
$20.14 in honor of the Class of 2014. Donate rafe
items to be given out to seniors during the night.
Towels, sheets, bathroom carriers, gas cards, movie
tickets, gift cards etc. add to the excitement of the
night. All donations are tax deductible and help make
this a very successful event. Last Night is completely
dependent on the generosity of WHS families and local
businesses/organizations.
Consider joining the Last Night committee this
year to help create a send-of for our seniors that they
will truly appreciate and remember forever. Our next
meeting is Tuesday, May 27, at 7 p.m. in the WHS
Media Room. Remember that others after you will be
doing the same for your son and daughter during their
senior year. Tank you for your support.

leaking uids and had heavy

The operator was identied as
Zachary Randlett, 21, of Dracut,
MA. Randlett had been traveling
northbound on Marsh Road in a
black 2005 Subaru Legacy when
he fell asleep behind the wheel
and crashed head on into a
telephone pole. Randlett suffered
a small amount of bruising to his
right arm. He was treated and
released on scene by the Pelham
Fire Department.
Randlett had attempted to discard a dufe bag with marijuana
prior to the police arriving. He was found to be in possession of
marijuana and was subsequently
placed under arrest. Randlett
was charged with transportation
of drugs, possession of
marijuana, and possession
of marijuana with intent to
distribute.
Randlett was later released on
$5,000 personal recognizance
bail and is scheduled to appear
for arraignment at the 10th

The impact of the crash
snapped the base of the

WHS Students Take Flight; JagSat Sends Capsules into the Atmosphere
by Jillian DiPersio, Windham High School Intern
An astounding feat was inspiration for a Windham physics
teacher and a group of his students to go where few high school
students have gone before: space. In the words of Patrick Kaplo,
Windham High physics teacher: Last year, November of 2012,
Felix Baumgartner, [who] was this Austrian daredevil, went up to
130,000 feet and jumped in a pressurized space suit, free fell from
this enormous height - I think he got close to 900 mph which is
faster than the speed of sound - and parachuted back through the
atmosphere.
Baumgartner was able to reach such heights with the help of high-
altitude ballooning technology, something Kaplo had apparently
been mulling over for quite a while. He hoped to put together a
group of students to send a capsule up on a balloon to capture some
pictures, quite literally from space. I sent out an email to some
students and was like, What do you guys say we put something up
there?
Jessica Thibeault, now a senior at WHS, was one of the students
who responded to this call. I remember him saying something like,
Which one of you nerds are in? she recalled a little of Kaplos
light-hearted joking. Senior Alessandro Fabiano, another founding
member of the team, says I honestly thought he was out of his mind
when I rst read the email! I decided to go to the rst meeting, and
the rest is history. The idea had ofcially been hatched - and the
group JagSat was born.
Last year the group launched its rst edge-of-space vehicle and
although it was ultimately successful, the launch did not come
without its fair share of malfunctions. It was great, said Kaplo.
We had problems with it and it didnt work a hundred percent;
some things worked, some things didnt.
Though many members of the team had experience in other
design projects designing something to go into the upper edges of
the atmosphere is completely different than designing something
that will be observable in a parking lot, explained Fabiano. We
knew nothing about the environment it would be in, how it would
react to that environment, how we would combat the problems that
we knew about, and the ones that we couldnt even fathom... it was
overwhelming.
Thibeault added, We lost GPS data for a lot of it; it went over in
the ocean so we were like, oh were never getting it back. It was
really sad, and then a lobsterman from Kittery, Maine, was like Hey,
so I found your thing in one of my lobster traps.
Using a modied point-and-shoot camera that we had pulled all
the innards out of and retrotted so it could t inside one of those
little window bays the vehicle successfully took pictures during
its ascent, explained Kaplo. If you see the pictures from there, its
breathtaking.
The team achieved a second launch in the fall of 2013, this
time working to x what had not worked the rst time, mainly the
faulty connection between the GPS and the radio that made them
lose sight of the capsules position. In order to prevent this from
happening again they installed two GPS and radio systems so, in
other words, if one system failed or we had another poor electrical
connection, there would be another completely independent system
that did the same thing. Luckily, they did not have these issues
in the second attempt and were able to track it the entire time, the
device landing north of Fitchburg, Mass.
The team is currently working on two new projects. Were going
to try to send some live plant specimens up and also try to break an
altitude record, says Kaplo. When they send the plant specimens
up into the atmosphere they will be looking at the effects of ozone
on a plants ability to photosynthesize. Were going to put it up
through the ozone and vent the capsule in the ozone layer were
trying to thermally insulate the specimens because it gets to about -
40 degrees so well have to have heaters on board.
When the team attempts to break the altitude record they will be
using a very small payload and an extra-large balloon so we can
go as high as possible, and possibly break 100,000 feet. We came a
couple thousand feet of that last time, Kaplo claried.
For a group of scientically and mathematically-oriented students,
JagSat has been a fantastic opportunity for them to get more hands-
on eld work than a regular classroom environment typically
renders. You get to work hands on and I think the biggest thing is
working with a group because a lot of the time [in school] youve
got your math, you learn calc [and can determine] Ok, Im kind of
interested in this. But its different when youre on a team of kids
and you have to ght out what you think the best thing is going to be
with the group, said Thibeault.
The project is also mainly student driven with Kaplo acting as a
mentor. Theres denitely a lot of aid
and help, but I think that the biggest
thing is that its student run. And we
can say, Yeah, we went to space. Its
just a cool thing, said Thibeault.
Fabiano said that working with Mr.
Kaplo outside of a classroom setting
exposed me to a whole new aspect
of the subjects we were studying
and how the concepts applied to a
real world situation. He believes
the project has been even more meaningful because of Kaplos
enthusiasm. [Kaplo is] personally is one of the most passionate and
motivating mentors I have ever worked with, added Fabiano.
Since the group allows students to have real experience
programming and engineering, it has been for some an afrmation
of their future aspirations. Thibeault says that, due to the eld
experience she now has, she was able to better make the decision to
enter a eld in math and science, and next year will be heading to
the Wentworth Institute of Technology. Fabiano will be attending the
Rochester Institute of Technology to study biomedical engineering
and is thinking about going to medical school after graduation.
Though the project has not directly inuenced his career decision he
says that working on these projects has reunited me with my love
of the unknown beyond our atmosphere. When I was a child, the
one thing I ever wanted to do was to be an astronaut. I was always
so fascinated by our nal frontier. Working on this project reminded
me of the raw and true beauty of our galaxy, and those beyond.
As a whole, WHS has been working to bridge the gap between
traditional classroom learning and project-based learning in the
sciences. Education should be modeling real world experience
and a lot of what our students are doing are some very advanced
eld work and its that eld work that makes the classroom come
alive, explains WHS principal, Ryan Kaplan. We are also working,
as a school, to bring more alignment between the whole science
curriculum so every course builds on project-based learning that
supports work in physics and engineering. I feel that we will
continue to see an increase in popularity in these programs in the
coming years, he continues.
Best of luck to the JagSat team in your coming launches. With
the combination of scientic ingenuity and community support, the
team is sure to reach new heights in the coming weeks.

overwhelming buffet on Mothers Day. Offered
from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., over 100 people ate their
full. The scouts of Troop 610 are fundraising for
a summer camping trip and were working very
hard at the Queen Bee. Some were cooking in
the downstairs kitchen under the direction of
professional Chef Alan Archer CEC, chairman
of the Board of Professional Chefs of New
Hampshire, where the scouts cooked eggs,
watched over the home fries and xxx the pots
and pan in the sink. Other scouts in the dining
room helped serve and bus the tables. Everyone
had a job under the watchful eye of a clipboard-

As Members of Special Operations Unit Windham Offcers Serve 24/7
by Barbara OBrien
Windham is one of nine towns with police
ofcers participating in the Southern New
Hampshire Special Operations Unit; an entity
sometimes referred to as a SWAT team, an
acronym for Special Weapons and Tactics.
The goal of the Southern New Hampshire
Special Operations Unit is to ensure the safety
of the public, as well as other police ofcers, by
responding to incidents described as special
threats, including reports of snipers, barricaded
subjects, assisting with dignitary security, high-risk
arrests and the issuance of related search warrants,
robbery stakeouts, tactical searches and the
apprehension of armed/dangerous perpetrators.
The communities that comprise the Southern
New Hampshire Special Operations Unit
include: Derry, Salem, Londonderry, Windham,
Hudson, Pelham, Raymond, Hampstead and
Litcheld; towns with a total population of
approximately 150,000 residents. Each of these
towns contributes $5,000 per year to help pay for
equipment, for a total of $45,000. Many of the
ofcers wind up buying some of their personal
equipment out of their own money.
By mutual agreement, each town participating
in the division dedicates 10 percent of its police
force to
the special
operations
unit. In
Windhams
case, there
are two
ofcers (10
percent)
who are
members of
the Southern
New
Hampshire
Special
Operations
Unit:
Sergeant
Bryan Smith
and Ofcer
Gregory Iworsky. Both Smith and Iworsky have
been with the Windham Police Department for
approximately ve years. Iworsky also serves as
the School Resource Ofcer at Windham High
School.
During a session of Windham Citizens Police
Academy, held earlier this month, Sergeant Smith
spoke about the Southern New Hampshire Special
Operations Unit. This is my passion, Smith
said. Smith serves as a sniper with the special
operations unit. Training is everything, he said.
Its all about accuracy. A sniper working for
law enforcement is described as an observer,
one who is gathering vital intelligence, and is
also capable of taking an accurate stopping shot,
if required to do so. In the past 20 years, the
average distance of a shot taken by a police sniper
is about 70 yards.
Smith explained that, in order to be a member
of the special operations unit, an ofcer must
have a minimum of three years experience in
full-time law enforcement and possess above
average shooting ability. A person must also
volunteer for this duty. If you dont want to be
there, you shouldnt be there, Smith emphasized.
Qualication for the team includes a physical
exam, oral review board, stress shooting course,
psychological evaluation and a sit-down
interview. Handgun and rie testing occurs every
six months. We practice a lot, Smith said. Any
failure on the ring range, during the twice yearly
testing, results in immediate disqualication.
Training includes scenario and range practice, as
well as night and low-light situations. We train
in all kinds of weather, Smith commented. Unit
training is ongoing and takes place twice a month.
No females participate on the special operations
unit at this time, Smith commented, but they are
eligible.
Recent incidents in which the Southern New
Hampshire Special Operations Unit participated
include a situation in Hudson in March of 2014
and another in Londonderry in April of this year,
both involving barricaded subjects. No hostages
were taken during these incidents, Smith noted.
In both cases, the suspects were taken into
custody after multiple hours of negotiations. No
injuries were reported in either situation.
Among the areas covered by the Southern
New Hampshire Special Operations Unit
are Manchester/Boston Regional Airport, the
Rockingham Mall in Salem, all regional schools,
Rockingham Park in Salem and the bus station
off Exit 5 in Londonderry, at the Park and Ride.
Providing protection for a visiting dignitary is
fascinating, Smith said. Its amazing to see all the
coordination that goes into these visits, he said.
The special unit participates in these events by
request of the Secret Service.
Another incident recalled by Smith was a
barricaded subject in Pelham in January of 2011.
In this case, the man inside the residence was
threatening violence; a situation that lasted for 36
hours. Its the worst experience I have ever had
as a sniper, Smith said. And one of the happiest
moments was when he gave up and surrendered.
Smith also spoke of the incident that took
place in Greenland, N.H., two years ago, in April
2012, when Police Chief Michael Maloney was
shot and killed by a barricaded subject and four
other police ofcers were wounded. The incident
ended when the shooter killed his girlfriend,
and then committed suicide. Members of the
Southern New Hampshire Special Operations
Unit were on site throughout the ordeal. I never
saw so many police ofcers in one place, Smith
said, recalling the tragedy.
In addition to the plethora of special equipment
used by the special operations unit, is a 2005
Bearcat; a vehicle that weighs about eight tons
and is capable of stopping a 50-caliber round of
ammunition. The vehicle, which can also be used
to break down barricades, was obtained through a
Homeland Security grant, at no cost to area towns.
The Bearcat also carries a robot with a camera
and microphones.
In order to assist police ofcers in the event of
an injury during one of these incidents, the special
operations unit includes two medical doctors,
a physicians assistant and three tactical medics
from area re departments. These medical
personnel are there to treat us right away, Smith
said.
Participating on the Southern New Hampshire
Special Operations Unit requires ceaseless
dedication. In addition to their innate abilities
and ongoing training, these ofcers are expected
to be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week,
365 days per year.
Any failure on the fring range,
during twice yearly testing, results in
immediate disqualifcation from the
special operations unit.

Rigorous training for the Southern NH Special
Operations Unit includes a physical exam, oral review
board, gun testing and a psychological evaluation.
by Barbara OBrien
In another late night meeting, the Windham School Board nally
agreed to task the School District Facility Committee with reviewing
and updating the existing facilities master plan in order to come up
with a recommendation on how to best deal with the worsening space
crunch. The decision to give guidance to the facilities committee was a
unanimous one.
The decision came about after facility committee members asked the
school board to narrow down the options that might be available,
as soon as possible. They need direction from the school board,
Superintendent Winfried Feneberg said. It was school board Vice-
chairman Dennis Senibaldis suggestion to have facility committee
members look at the long-range facilities master plan for guidance. The
master plan was formulated several years ago at a substantial cost to the
school district.
Although space constraints have been plaguing Windham for an
extended period of time, the situation was worsened when it was
discovered that the mold problem in the portable classrooms at Golden
Brook School had not be solved, as previously thought, and the majority
of board members ultimately chose not to spend any more time, money
or resources on xing the 14-year-old structure. That decision resulted in
a loss of 10 classrooms and the relocation of four third-grade classes to
Windham High School.
The only school board member who appeared to have a problem
with committee members referencing the existing master plan was one
of the newest members, Ken Eyring. Eyring said he believes portions of
the master plan are erroneous and questioned some of the calculations.
Eyring said he didnt have condence in the districts facilities master
plan.
Eyring also complained that he feels at a disadvantage because his
work schedule doesnt align with the times that facility committee
meetings are being held. Eyring said he wants to have more input in
the process. This is the most important decision well make this year,
Eyring said, noting that he wants all ve school board members to attend
facility committee meetings. Ultimately, were responsible, Eyring said.
Currently, three board members are assigned to that committee:
Michael Joanis, Dennis Senibaldi and Rob Breton. Several administrators
are also committee members. In addition, a citizens sub-committee
has been formed. The committee and the sub-committee generally meet
separately, but also occasionally hold a joint meeting. The school
board doesnt want to interfere with the citizens sub-committee, school
board Chairman Jerome Rekart said, adding that he wants there to be
creativity in the process of coming up with a viable recommendation.
Tom Murray, a member of the citizens sub-committee, said he would
prefer that any direction given to the sub-committee be broad in nature,
so as not to inhibit the sub-committees process. We need to come
up with short- and long-term solutions, Murray said. Murray also
commented that he would like to see a special school district meeting
held, so that a decision on any proposal to deal with the space issue can
be made by voters this year, rather than having to wait until next March.
Special school district or town meetings must be approved by superior
court and are granted only for very specic purposes.
Sub-committee member Rich Amari emphasized that a lot of work
needs to be done before any proposal can be brought forth for voter
consideration and that its important not to waste anyones time in the
process. Amari also said he was very glad that the school board is
reaching out to the public in soliciting opinions. Were denitely trying
to come together as a team, school board member Rob Breton said.
Breton also noted how important it is to have numerous individuals
reviewing the existing master plan, not just school board members and
administrators. Weve got two solid groups of people ready to take this
on, Breton said.
A second motion that was passed at the May 20 school board meeting
advised the administration to come up with an estimate on how much
it would cost for architectural and engineering fees for a possible
construction project and where that money would come from in the
2014-2015 school district operating budget, which goes into effect on
July 1. There is currently only $1,000 in that line item. The motion
passed by a vote of 4 to 1. Only Eyring voted in opposition.
Board members also instructed facilities committee members to
engage the community in eliciting input and garnering support for
potential solutions. This issue will be discussed further at the school
boards next meeting on Tuesday, June 3, which will begin at 7 p.m. and
will be held in the community development building, nest to Windham
Town Hall. The public is welcome to attend.

Honoring Those who Serve Their Community
Pelham VFW Hosts Loyalty Day Awards
by Len Lathrop
The John H. Hargreaves Memorial Post 10722
in Pelham hosted Loyalty Day with community
awards and a dinner prepared by the posts Ladies
Auxiliary, recognizing and honoring outstanding
Pelham citizens who serve their community.
Loyalty Day is a day set aside for the
reafrmation of loyalty to the United States and
for the recognition of the heritage of American
freedom. It was made an ofcial holiday by
the U.S. Congress on July 18, 1958. Following
the passage of this law, President Dwight D.
Eisenhower proclaimed May 1, 1959, the rst
ofcial observance of Loyalty Day. Local VFW
posts honor those who give of themselves within
our community and help to support the loyalty of
United States veterans during the rst weeks of
May.
After a welcome from Post Commander Mark
McCabe, dinner, which had been prepared
by Post 10772 Ladies Auxiliary, was served.
McCabe, with the help of VFW Ladies Auxiliary
President Madeline Dreusicke, presented the
awards.
As the VFW believes strongly in good
citizenship and fostering patriotism, it offers the
Patriots Pen Essay Contest, which encourages
youthful minds to examine the nations history
and their own experiences in modern American
society. The national rst-place winner
wins $5,000 and an all-expense-paid trip to
Washington, D.C.
This year Pelham had three local winners of the
2014 Patriots Pen Essay Contest; this years theme
was What Patriotism Means To Me. The winners
were Cassandra Zaino, Theron Zajchowski, and
Keegan Walker. Zaino from Pelham Memorial
School, actually won rst place in New
Hampshire and nished 33rd in the
nation. In her essay, Zaino wrote
of patriotism being love of country,
land, community, culture, people,
our ag, doing our civic duty of
voting and contributing to our society
as a whole. Zajchowski attends St.
Patrick School, and his essay was
about how he spearheaded the collection of
ags for proper retirement. Through his efforts,
St. Patricks collected more than 70 ags, which
really inspired his fellow classmates to gain a
better understanding of patriotism. Walker, a
home-schooled student, wrote about patriotism
being a coin of two sides fervor and freedom
and an edge honor. Keegan was honored for a
second time this year.
Knowing that a democratic society needs
nurturing, the VFW established the Voice of
Democracy program in 1947
to provide students in grades
9-12 the opportunity to
express themselves regarding
democratic ideas and
principles. The national rst-
place winner wins $30,000
and an all-expense-paid trip
to Washington, D.C. The
theme in 2014 was Why Im
Optimistic About our Nations
Future. The winner this year
was Pelham High Schools
Mattsen Bradbury-Koster. His
essay describes how American
Soup was created through
diversity and tolerance and
the hope that Americans will
continue to improve upon it.
Meanwhile, for the third
year, the Ladies Auxiliary has
sponsored a piece of art for the
Young American Patriotic Art
Contest. This years artist, Jenya
Becker of Pelham High School,
submitted a very beautiful piece
of art. She received rst-place
honors in the state; the national
contest winner have not yet
been decided
Every year the post
recognizes a teacher from each
of the Pelham schools who
promotes patriotism in the
classroom. Charles Curfmanis,
a veteran social studies teacher
at St. Patrick School takes
teaching patriotism in the
classroom to heart. Lynne
Stader mentioned in her
nomination that Mr. Curfman
uses many NH destinations as
opportunities for education. He takes students
to the NH Statehouse, and several classes have
met the governor. Through the NH Historical
Landmark project, students create a presentation
detailing the landmarks importance.
Every year, Patricia Lamontange spearheads the
Patriots Pen participation at Memorial School.
Through her work with the Drama Club, students
performed Dont Say No to the USO for the
veterans, which brought patriotism home for the
students involved as well as the audience. This
year she also won the Middle School Teacher of
the Year for the State of NH. Donna Dube was
the award winner from the high school. Dube, an
educator for 31 years, realized that her generation
needed to pass the baton on to the generation
seated before her and that they will have to accept
the responsibility to lead this great nation forward.
A true patriot, she instills a love of country, the
values of citizenship, honor and patriotism, and
the importance of U.S. history in each of her
students. They earn Patriot Points for learning
about the various patriotic holidays.
The VFW and its Ladies Auxiliary recognized
girls who earn the highest awards in Girl
Scouting. The Girl Scout Bronze award is the
third highest award a Girl Scout can achieve
and the highest award that a Junior Girl Scout
can achieve requiring a minimum of 20 hours of
work. Alicia Hamilton and Michaly Oxner have
earned the Bronze award, for their project they
worked with the Sarah at the Senior Center and
with the Pelham Police department to put on a
seminar about seniors and crime prevention. Also
recognized was Olivia Cargnel as a Bronze award
winner.
Kathryn Blais earned the Gold Award, the
highest award a Girl Scout can achieve with a
required minimum of 90 hours of work. Kate
helped the Pelham VFW celebrate its 30th
anniversary by creating a marketing DVD
and also a historical DVD which chronicled
the Posts 30 years through veteran interviews,
creation of a Commanders Wall and a display
case of memorabilia donated by members, all
culminating with a 30th anniversary party. She
also was chosen as the VFW Scout of the Year
Award for the New Hampshire. Also honored
this year was Mary Hammar from Pelham who is
currently working on her Girl Scout Gold Award.
Eagle is the highest rank a Boy Scout can
achieve. Three young men from Troop 610 earned
their Eagle Scout awards and were honored by the
VFW this year: Connor Roche, Zachary Johnson
and Ryan Cummings.
The VFW honors an outstanding Fireghter/EMT
who not only works as a team but also shines
as an individual. This year Lt. Greg Atwood,
who has served Pelham since 1998 was selected
as Pelhams VFW Fireghter of the year. The
lieutenant also was the honoree in 1998.
Police ofcers who go above and beyond in
their community are noted. Sgt. Anne Perriello
has been serving Pelham since 2001 and goes
out of her way to assist veterans and the youth.
Recently, she and a colleague visited the VFW
Ladies Auxiliary Jr. Girls Unit and spoke to them
about safety to help them earn their safety badge.
Honoring outstanding citizens and groups
who have made signicant contributions to their
Pelhams Girl Scout Gold Award recipient Kathryn Blais
thanks the VFW for the honor.
VFW Ladies Auxiliary President Madeline Dreusicke
recognizes Olivia Cargnel and Michaly Oxner
with their Bronze awards.
Jim Ehlinger becomes the new Post 10722 commander
replacing Mark McCabe, who looks on in the foreground.
Highlighted for their outstanding commitment

Windham resident Bob Coole, who rarely
misses either a school board or selectmens
meeting, has expressed concern over what he
terms the insufcient posting of public meeting
notices by school administrators.
Coole spoke about the issue at a school board
meeting earlier this month, after he missed
a public meeting he wanted to
attend. Coole said he searched for
a notice of the Long Range Planning
Facilities Committee meeting, but
couldnt nd it, even on the school
districts website. Turns out that the
10 a.m. meeting had already been
held by the time Coole was able to
nd the information he was seeking.
Apparently, the notice of the
meeting in question was posted
inside a school building, denitely
not in a location conducive to
public access. The posting of
public meetings needs to be more public, Coole
told school board members. Notices should
be posted on an outside door, so people can
read them from outside, Coole stated. School
administrators agreed with Cooles comments
and said they would address the issue going
forward.

Peirce shows the students what Nate used to look like.
If You Want to be a Cartoonist and
Author Get Yourself a Dog
by Len Lathrop
Childrens book author Lincoln Peirce was the guest
of the Junior Jaguars, the third grade students currently
attending school on the rst oor of Windham High
School. The Jaguars were easy to spot with their blue
T-shirts that denoted the class of 2023. Peirce is the
author of the very popular and best-selling Big Nate
series of books as well as the daily comic strip of the
same name.
The L-shaped end of the WHS cafeteria made
the perfect spot for them to meet with this talented
cartoonist and author, who used modern technology
to provide a multi-media display of how Big Nate
was born. Noting the number of copies of the seven
different Big Nate books in print that the Junior Jaguars
had in their hands, this author is very popular to the
third grade crowd. And they were spellbound as Peirce
showed them early drawings his mother had saved,
and he recalled that he started to learn how to draw by
copying. He explained it was ok to copy to practice
drawing
from different
comic books,
but not
something to
do in school.
When he was
in third grade
his favorite
was Charlie
Brown
comics,
which then
sold for 50
cents each.
Third grade
was also
when he met
Bob Dawson.
Dawson is
the assistant
principal of
Windham High School and the connection to Peirce.
What about the dog? After explaining how a cartoon
makes fun of things and people, Peirce told the kids
about Mr. Dawsons dog. Well, it seems Bob Dawson
had a dog when the two grew growing up and, for a long
period of time, the dog had to wear one of those collars
so he wouldnt chew. It was one of the rst cartoons
Peirce drew, the dog in his collar pulling Bob Dawson
around. Peirce told the Junior Jaguars that having his
dog helps him when he has writers block. When the
ideas and drawings are not coming together, he takes his
dog for a walk and, by the time they get home, the story
usually comes together.
The Lincoln Peirce comic strip appears in more than
200 U.S. newspapers and online daily at comics.com.
He has just published his 13th book, Big Nate in the
Zone. Peirce explained that he could spend 10 hours on
one full page drawing for a book; he claims he is lucky to
work from home in Portland, Maine.
He showed the students how he starts every day by
warming up with a scribble drawing. Before their young
eyes, Peirce closed his eyes and drew on the white board
for about a minute until the scribble turned into a pirate.
Then, from a large circle and a small circle, he showed
the third graders how to tell a story with more circles
until you saw a cartoon person being hit on the head by
a baseball, how you showed the speed of the object and
the reaction of the character.
As he closed, he took questions from the children
and signed the books and comic strips they had brought
along.
Te Junior Jaguars eyes were glued to the paper as they watched Lincoln Pierce draw in front of them.
Several students brought in two of Lincoln
Peirces recent books.

Pelham High School
Pelham High School sent its fastest team of four
students to participate in the annual statewide
Seat Belt Challenge on May 15 at the NH Police
Standards and Training Academy in Concord.
The purpose of the challenge is two-fold. First, it
gives an opportunity to explain the importance of
using safety belts; and second, it
demonstrates, in a fun way, how
quick and easy it is to buckle up.
The Challenge consists of
timed relays in which teams
of four students race around
an automobile and buckle
themselves into each of the
outboard seating positions. Each
student is also required to orally
answer one highway safety
question. The team with the best
overall time wins.
Pelham Highs Justin Beecher,
Chris Benjamin, Jack Harrington
and Eric Guinasso answered
all their questions correctly
and placed third out of 28
high schools represented at the
challenge with a time of 33.84
seconds. They were only .30
seconds away from taking rst
place. This is a rst for PHS to
place in the top three!
The Seat Belt Challenge is sponsored by the NH
Association of Chiefs of Police, NH Department
of Education, NH Driver Education Teachers
Association, NH Highway Safety Agency, NH
Police Standards and Training Council, and the NH
Police Association.

Fish were being caught, photos were being
taken, pancakes were being grilled, bread was
being sliced, and guitars were being strum
during Nashua Catholics annual eighth grade
science fair - but not by the students, but rather
by the machines that they had invented. Over
110 different machines, inspired by cartoonist
Rube Goldberg, were on display in the schools
auditorium that could complete various tasks
in a minimum of four steps using such simple
machines as a pulley, wedge, lever, screw, and
wheel from things that they found around their
house, in their garage, and even in their garbage.
It was fun making my Rube Goldberg
machine, said Madeline Seeley-Hacker, of
Windham, who made a levitating machine
inspired by Harry Potter that was called
Wingardium Leviosa. I learned that you have to
have a lot of patience because it doesnt always
work on the attempt. I used electrode magnets
that I learned a lot about.
Goldberg, an American cartoonist was
educated as an engineer but is best known for
a series of popular cartoons depicting complex
gadgets that perform simple tasks in indirect,
convoluted ways that usually include a chain
reaction. Most students remember playing the
popular 1963 board game, Mouse Trap, which
was based on Rube Goldbergs machines.
Goldberg won a Pulitzer Prize in 1948 for his
creative and entertaining cartoons.
A lot of work goes into making these
machines. The idea is to come up with a simple
task and make it extraordinarily complicated.
Mrs. Susan Paoni, OFS, science teacher at
Nashua Catholic said. Its not as easy as it
looks and students discover after several failed
attempts which type of machine works best to
accomplish a particular task.
When asked how often her machine worked
successfully. Madeline said, It works about 90
percent of the time.
Our students have fun with this project,
Paoni added. This project challenges their
creativity and helps to develop their engineering
skills.
Nashua Catholic Regional Junior High
School affords an outstanding education based
on a solid curriculum that is rooted in the
Catholic tradition. Accredited by the New
England Association of Schools and Colleges,

There is a strong possibility that re-funding the
existing construction bond on Windham High
School could save taxpayers an estimated $872,000,
based on current market conditions.
During the Windham School Boards May
20 meeting, Business Administrator Adam Steel
discussed the possibility of selling the existing bond,
and re-funding the approximate $30 million still
owed on the nearly ve-year-old high school. The
existing bond was taken out in 2005 and wont
be paid off for another 15 years. Steel said that
re-funding the amount of money owed would not
extend the length of time until the high school is
paid off. The maturity date would not change.
The savings realized by re-funding the existing
bond would come about due to the lower interest
rates that are currently being offered. Interest rates
are still at a historical low, Steel said, but noted that
no one can predict what direction they will go in the
future. Re-funding would require no out-of-pocket
expenses for the school district, Steel explained.
Based on Steels recommendation, school board
members voted unanimously (5 to 0) to schedule
a public hearing on the possibility of re-funding
the existing bond. The issue will be discussed
further at the school boards next meeting, which is
scheduled for Tuesday, June 3, beginning at 7 p.m.
in the community development building, next to the
Windham Town Hall.

Being a Detective is not Like CSI
by Barbara OBrien
A police detectives job is, specically, to investigate crimes,
and, ultimately, to solve them. Two detectives are employed by the
Windham Police Department: Nick Eddy and Chris Van Hirtum.
Detective Van Hirtum spoke to the inaugural class of the Windham
Citizens Police Academy earlier this month. Van Hirtum has worked
in Windham for the past three years, including the past eight months
as a detective. He began his career in law enforcement with the
State Marine Patrol, and then moved on to become a corrections
ofcer at the Valle Street Jail in Manchester. It was the worst job
Ive ever had, Van Hirtum quipped. In 2004, Van Hirtum moved on
to the Newton, N.H., Police Department, where he worked full time
for three years. He is also a special deputy with the Rockingham
County Sheriffs Department.
Being a detective is not like CSI on TV, Van Hirtum said. We
dont solve crimes in 45 minutes. In fact, it can take up to 12
months for some evidence to be analyzed at the State Lab in
Concord. Theres quite a backlog up there, he explained. Theyre
great people up there, he continued, but every police department in
New Hampshire sends their evidence to the State Lab.
Detectives investigate robberies, burglaries, sexual assaults,
homicides, major drug cases, felony vandalism, arson, sudden
deaths under suspicious circumstances, child pornography, and
other computer crimes. Van Hirtum said that it is Detective Eddys
specialty to investigate child porn, as well as other computer crimes.
Should a homicide occur in the Town of Windham, local police
would seek the assistance of the New Hampshire State Police Major
Crimes Unit.
The majority of problems arent with residents, Van Hirtum
said. Many of the crimes occur because of Windhams proximity to
Massachusetts; Lawrence, in particular. Windham is a cut-through
community, he said.
Detectives are not the rst ofcers on the scene. Once a crime
occurs and is reported to dispatch, a patrol ofcer responds, speaks
with victims, witnesses and any suspects; the area is secured with
crime scene tape and then the detectives are called to the scene.
Detectives obtain search warrants, if needed, photograph the crime
scene, secure all evidence, conduct interviews, follow up on all
leads, and, nally, obtain arrest warrants. Van Hirtum said that many
of the search warrants being sought these days are for cell phones
and computers. The goal? Another crime solved by the Windham
Police Department Detectives Division, Van Hirtum said.
Van Hirtum noted the importance of good evidence collection.
Evidence can be used to identify previously unknown suspects, can
ensure that the proper suspect is charged, and is vital to prosecution
and conviction. As for interviewing or interrogating suspects,
the goal is to obtain a confession or admission of guilt. A good
interview can seal the case, Van Hirtum stated. I strive to treat
people well. I try my best to rely on my words.
According to Van Hirtum, Bonding is the key to getting a suspect
to tell the truth about what they did. If the person you are talking to
did not commit a crime, all the bonding in the world will not make
them confess to it! Patience, persistence and perseverance are the
keys to a good interview.
Why do people confess to the crimes they have committed?
According to Van Hirtum, there are several reasons for a confession,
including a guilty conscience, a need for others to understand why
someone did something, a crime has already been justied in the
suspects mind and he or she wants acceptance, or the suspect
doesnt like what they have become and wants someone to put a
stop to the behavior.
Detective Eddy, who stopped by the rehouse during the class,
was asked about the level of child pornography in southern New
Hampshire. Its happening more and more all over this area,
Eddy replied. Eddy is a member of the Task Force for Missing and
Exploited Children. These cases get pushed to the top of the
priority list, he said.
Recent investigations conducted by Van Hirtum and Eddy include
a Windham woman arrested for prostitution after propositioning one
of the detectives via text message and asking for $125 in exchange
for a sexual act. The arrest occurred after the money was exchanged.
Also among recent cases was the arrest of an individual for the theft
of copper pipes from a vacant residence. The suspect was identied
through the use of a surveillance camera. The suspect was,
subsequently, located and admitted to having committed the crime,
citing drug addiction as the reason.
Summing up the incidents that Windham Police handle, in
general, Eddy said, Fortunately, in Windham, there are 10 times as
many comical stories as there are tragic ones. Van Hirtum agreed,
saying that Windham is a great community in which to work.
Delahunty Nursery Makes Donation
to Enhance Searles
by Barbara OBrien
Delahunty Nursery of Windham has donated more than
$16,000 worth of shrubbery to enhance the rear exterior of
Searles School and Chapel on Range Road. The century-
old building is owned by the Town of Windham and is
currently used for functions, such as weddings, receptions,
birthday parties and meetings.
A public hearing to accept the $16,305 donation was
held on May 5. The proprietor of Delahunty Nursery, Jay
Yennaco, was on hand for the hearing. The effort was
coordinated by Margaret Case, who volunteers in multiple
capacities throughout the town.
Yennaco explained that the shrubbery being donated
will be low maintenance. All the plants are native to New
England, he said. The purpose of the new landscaping is
to provide a buffer zone between the side parking lot, as
well as the adjacent sports eld and chain link fence, and
the lawn area where functions, such as outdoor weddings,
are held. After a year of growth, the area will look great,
Yennaco told selectmen. Plans are to begin the project
mid-summer and to be nished by the end of August, at the
latest.
A discussion on possibly installing an irrigation system in
the area, at the same time the planting is to be done, was
also conducted. Case said she would investigate the cost of
installing such a system and get back to the selectmen at a
future meeting. It should be done at the same time, Case
said.
Selectmen unanimously accepted the donation by a vote
of 5 to 0. Voting in favor were Chairman Ross McLeod,
Vice-Chairman Al Letizio, Jr., and Selectmen Roger
Hohenberger, Bruce Breton and Joel Desilets. The donation
was accepted with great appreciation. This is extremely
generous of you, Letizio told Yennaco.
Windham High Students Attend
International DECA Conference
submitted by Christine Simmons
Twelve students from Windham High School
attended the International Career Development
Conference in Atlanta, Ga., from May 2-7.
The DECA International Career Development
Conference (ICDC) is the highlight of the DECA
year. Sixteen thousand high school students,
advisors, businesspeople and alumni gather
for several days of DECA
excitement. Most participants
at ICDC compete in one of
DECAs competitive events.
The top competitors in each
event are recognized for their
outstanding achievements. In
addition to the competitive
events, many students and
advisors participate in a variety
of leadership and career
advancing academies.

Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down? Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down?
Thumbs up to the few drivers that use their
turn signals!
Thumbs down to a certain Windham
School Board member who was playing
on Facebook during a recent School Board
meeting. This was especially irritating when it
was a meeting that all electronic device usage
was supposed to be banned by school board
members. Guessing this particular school
board member assumed this didnt apply to
him since he was calling in to the meeting.
Unacceptable!
Thumbs down to the Windham School
Board. I just learned that a particular board
member should have recused himself from
all debate, and not voted on Windhams recent
teachers contract. Why? Because his wife is
one of the teachers impacted, and his own
household nances beneted by his vote. By
not doing so, this was a serious breach of
ethics and public trust. But dont take my
word for it ... New Hampshire Supreme Court
in Marsh v. Hanover: Board members must
refrain from self-dealing and from making
decisions that will appear to produce direct,
or for that matter, indirect benet, such as a
benet to a spouse or other relative.
Thumbs down to the entire town of Pelham.
Came back to visit the folks, and from the
rotary to the ridiculous re station it is a
joke. Finally renovating a school that took
20 years to pass. Education
is the center of everything!
Place is disgusting and the
selectmen should be ashamed
of themselves. All I can say to
PHS graduates is get ready to
work hard in college because
you are not prepared! Get out
while you can!
Thumbs down to poor
leadership at Windham
Middle School. Letting the
best teachers go reveals a lack
of judgement for excellent
educators. I worry about the
future of our middle school. [Concerned
Taxpayer]
Thumbs up to those drivers who use their
directionals on the round-abouts!
Thumbs up to Tom Murray. Most people
grumble and whine, and never do anything.
Not Tom - hes stepped up,
and is actually offering ideas
to make things better for our
children. At great cost to
himself, both nancially and
otherwise, Mr. Murray has
proposed several creative
and scally responsible
solutions to our towns
facilities issues. Thank you,
Tom!
Thumbs up to me for
being right about a certain
baseball coach and his picks.
Hows that team working for
you now Coach since your
players are being disqualied
because of poor academics
faster than you can say, Im
a lousy coach?
Thumbs down. If driving an automobile
is a privilege, not a right. Common sense
tells me so are their license
plates. Vanity plates is a
privilege not a right. If you
label it under the law of
common sense there are still
people who want to live with
some sort of sanity in this
world. I dont believe the
registry should be bullied by
free speech. Besides, vanity
license plates that offend
people risk auto bashing. The
insurance premiums go up
and the Registry still wins with
you and the price you pay for
stupidity in the rst place.
Thumbs down to the Republican Party
and especially Scott Brown for sabotaging
the Shaheen-Portman energy bill. This bill
would have gained this country 200,000 jobs
and saved tons of money to us voters. Why
did they do it? To kill Shaheens bill so she
couldnt use it in her campaign against Brown.
Senator Ayotte to her credit voted for the bill.
Shame on the GOP and Brown.
Thumbs down to the person who still
doesnt get it about ACA. If your insurance
company canceled your policy and then
offered it back at twice the price, that has
nothing, nada, zip to do with ACA. Oh and
by the way, insurance companies have been
playing games like this for years, including
canceling your policy if you dared to use it or
denying coverage for preexisting conditions.
All issues that ACA deals with. Why oh why
would we ever want to go back to that?
Thumbs down to the drivers who blow
through the yield signs on the round-abouts.
Came very close to being creamed by two
pickup trucks twice within 20 minutes on the
one by Town Hall last week. Eh, what am I
thinking ... those signs arent meant for them.
Thumbs down to the person regarding
speeding and speed limits. As you dont have
to pay my speeding ticket or higher insurance
fees, you can whine about being stuck behind
someone driving the actual speed limit, sorry
my life doesnt revolve around you. I have
taken great pains to make sure I leave my
house with extra time for things I need to be
at, try plan ahead a little. Also, what street
do you live one so I can come speed by your
house.
Thumbs down to the commercial truck with
the large commercial trailer on it that is always
parked on the street. Its a neighborhood with
kids, bikes and people walking and does not
have sidewalks. Its impossible to go down the
street with this vehicle blocking half the road.
Its been there for a couple of weeks and is
dangerous if anyone is in the road.
Thumbs down to our town/school
employees lobbying for their pay raises, pay
step and pay move raises last election. Can
you imagine if I spent countless hours telling
my co workers I deserved a raise and that they
needed to speak to my boss so I could receive
a raise, how I would look? Every comment
I read in this paper about saying resident
should leave if they dont vote for their pay
raises sickens me. There are people who are
in danger of losing their home over your raise
and people on xed incomes who are trying to
make ends meet, and you want a raise, even
asked for 2 raises a year?

Jaguar Boys
Volleyball Pushes
Toward Playoffs
by Jacob Gagnon
With only four matches remaining in the 2014 season,
the Windham High boys Volleyball team is making their
case as one of the top teams in the state. The Jaguars
are currently 10-2 with their only losses of the season
coming against the defending champion Salem High
Blue Devils.
Following Tucker Lippolds 1,000-assist milestone
against Bishop Guertin High School and a dominant win
over Coe-Brown, the Jaguars continued their push for
the playoffs on Tuesday, May 12. Windham traveled to
Hollis-Brookline High School. The Jaguars clobbered
Hollis-Brookline, 3-0 (25-11, 25-21, 25-22).
Andrew Lowman, Evan Todd, and Lippold each scored
ve kills in the contest. Lippold also collected 13 assists
and 12 service points against Hollis-Brookline. Lowman
had four blocks. Tim Erdlen earned 12 digs and 12
service points in the game.
On Wednesday, May 14, the Jaguars hosted Souhegan
High School. Once again, Windham disposed of their
opponents in three straight sets (25-15, 25-15, 25-14).
Evan Todd led with 11 kills while Kurtis Jolicouer had
ve kills. Todd and Tim Raymond each had three blocks.
Lippold had 19 assists and 10 service points in the
contest. Jack Grubbs had 12 assists and seven service
points in the game. Erdlen collected nine digs against
Souhegan.
Great team win, commented Head Coach Chris
Baribeau, following his teams victory over Souhegan
High School.
On Monday, May 19th, Bishop Guertin hosted
Windham. The Jaguars overcame the home team in three
straight sets (25-7, 25-18, 25-19) to collect their tenth
win of the season.
Lowman collected seven kills. Lippold and Grubbs
each had 10 assists in the contest. Raymond scored 15
service points while Erdlen had ve digs. Jolicouer had
four blocks. Jolicouer played a great two-way game,
commented Baribeau.
With the season winding to a close, the Jaguars have
an opportunity to secure the second seed in the NHIAA
Championship Tournament. They will also have the
chance to return to the Championship Finals, which
they lost to Salem last year. This time around, however,
Windham is training for a different result.
Windham Boys Tennis Team Finds Stride on Court
by Jacob Gagnon
After losing eight of their rst nine matches to start the 2014 season,
the Windham High School boys Tennis squad, led by Head Coach
Ken Bourassa, has seemed to turn a corner in their play. The Jaguars
improvement is evident by their latest three-match winning streak which
extended their record to 4-8 on the year.
Windham traveled to Milford High School on Tuesday, May 6. In
singles play, Steven Brandt defeated his Milford opponent, 8-5.
Teammate James Baiguy also won his match, 8-5. Richard Tu earned a
singles victory, 8-2, while teammate Bryan Deranian won, 8-3.
In doubles action, Brandt and Baiguy scored an 8-6 victory, while Tu
and Deranian earned a close 9-8 decision. Windhams Josh Allen and
Blake Allgood also won their doubles match, 8-6. Powered by these
stellar performances, Windham collected the victory over Milford High
School.
The Jaguars were only getting started. On Monday, May 12, Windham
played Hollis-Brookline High School. Brandt won 8-3 in singles action.
Joseph Forti also earned his singles victory, 8-3, while Baiguy won,
9-7. In doubles play, Forti teamed up with Brandt to defeat their Hollis-
Brookline opponents, 8-3. Tu and Baiguy won their doubles match, 9-5,
to net Windhams second win of the season.
On Tuesday, May 13, the Jaguars peaked against Manchester West
High School. The number one player, Brandt, defeated his Blue Knight
opponent, 8-0. Forti, the number two player, followed suit with an 8-0
victory. At number three, Baiguy also won 8-0. Tu defeated his West
opponent, 8-2. Both Devin Marino and Josh Allen collected 8-1 singles
victories.
In doubles play against West, Windham dominated with three strong
wins. Brandt and Forti combined for an 8-1 win, while the pairs of
Baiguy and Marino, as well as Allen and Nick Lerchenfeldt, scored 8-0
victories.
The Jaguars continued to cruise as they hosted Milford High School on
Wednesday, May 14. Once again, Windhams lead players were able to
execute on the court to score Windhams fourth win of the year.
In singles matches, Brandt, 8-1, and Forti, 8-2, earned wins. Baiguy,
8-5, and Tu, 8-2, also collected victories. Marino, Windhams number
ve player, lost to his Milford opponent in a tie-breaker. Lerchenfeldt was
able to nish strong with an 8-5 advantage over his opponent.
In doubles play, all three Windham pairs triumphed. Brandt and Forti,
who have consistently been Windhams top duo, defeated Milfords pair,
8-2. Baiguy and Tu won, 8-3. Marino was able to redeem himself in his
doubles match. Marino, teaming with Allgood, defeated their Milford
opponents following a deciding tie-breaker.
Coach Bourassa, as he has done for Windham High School since its
inception, has created a strong, dedicated, and consistently improving
squad who are proud to be Jaguars.
Windham Softball Squad Earns Five Straight Ws
by Jacob Gagnon
The Windham High School Softball team, led by Head Coach David
Hedge, has risen to the top of the Division II pack with one of their
strongest regular seasons ever. After winning ve straight contests, the
Lady Jaguars are currently 11-3 on the season, with only two games
remaining.
On Saturday afternoon, May 10, Windham played a doubleheader
against Trinity High School of Manchester. The Lady Jaguars clobbered
the struggling Pioneers in the opening contest, 10-0. Windham pitcher
Rachel Rogers held Trinity to only four hits in the rst game. Leading
at the plate was Haley Psareas who went one-for-three with four RBIs.
Teammate Olivia Estes also collected four RBIs with a one-for-four hit
performance. Michaela Hatem knocked in three runs, going two-for-two
at the plate in the rst game.
In the second and nal game of the doubleheader, the Pioneers were
able to knock in their rst runs of the day. Trinity took an early 2-0
lead over Windham in the second inning. The Lady Jaguars, powered
by Hatem and Emily Comtois, responded with four runs to take an
advantage they would not relinquish. Rachel Vades earned the victory
for her team on the mound. Windham took the second game, 7-2, to
sweep the Pioneers.
On Wednesday, May 14, the Lady Jaguars hosted a strong Goffstown
High School team. The Grizzlies, with a current record of 10-4, was set
to be a tough test for Windham. It appeared that Goffstown may even
end Windhams winning streak as the Grizzlies Nicole Nanof hit a two-
run homerun in the rst inning to take the lead. Following that score,
Windham hurler Vades was able to silence the opposing squads bats
and would not allow another Goffstown runner past second base for the
rest of the contest.
The Lady Jaguars offense erupted for 15 runs on 14 hits. Leading the
attack was Rachel Rogers, who earned an amazing six RBIs in the contest
by going three-for-four at the plate. Also contributing on offense were
Psareas, with three RBIs; Hatem, with a two RBIs; and Hannah Klaassens
with a pair of RBIs.
Windham traveled to Portsmouth High School on Friday, May 16. The
Lady Jaguars wasted little time in grabbing a lead as they scored six runs
in the rst three innings of play. The Clippers were able to battle back
and take advantage of ve Windham errors in the fth inning to take the
lead, 7-6. Rogers, who hurled a strong game but whose pitch count rose
amid the errors of the middle innings, was relieved by Vades.
Olivia Estes knocked in three runs with a two-for-four hit performance
to lead Windham. Psareas continued her hot streak with three RBIs on
three hits. Cailyn Costa had four hits with a pair of RBIs while teammate
Alyssa Upton collected three hits and an RBI. Vades, who struck out
four of the eleven batters she faced in relief, earned the win on the
mound as the Lady Jaguars defeated the Clippers, 11-7, to extend their
winning streak to ve games.
With only three losses on the season, Windham has the opportunity to
earn a top seed in the NHIAA Division II Championship Tournament if
they continue to play strong.

VFW Awards
- continued from page 8
community is a goal of the VFW. This year the VFW honored
several organizations for their efforts on behalf of Pelhams
veterans.
The Pelham~Windham News was honored for keeping the
VFW in the community eye with the coverage of the VFW
events. The newspaper was also recognized for transporting
veterans in the Memorial Day Parade, so that the older
veterans, who can no longer march, can participate and ride
in style. The Pelham~Windham News supports all aspects
of the community and is deserving of VFW Outstanding
Volunteer of the Year honors.
Also recognized was Sarah Landry from the Senior Center
who was unable to attend the recognition event. Thanks
to her efforts, the center is always a place where seniors,
including veterans and their spouses, can come and enjoy
friendship. In fact, the center goes above and beyond for
seniors and veterans, recently allowing the VFW to put on
cancer aid and research fundraisers. The Senior Center
always provides a free Veterans Day lunch and entertainment
as well.
Also honored was Jim Nagel of Chunkys who can always
be counted on to make donations of ice for VFW dinners
and concerts. He and his staff are always involved in the
community whether its offering the facility for Relay for
Life kick off, after voting election results, helping to sponsor
the Police Relief Association kids movie night or allowing
the high school kids to take their standardized tests there.
Chunkys stands out as a wonderful citizen within the Town
of Pelham.
The American Legion Firing Squad, led by Captain Paul
Pellerin, was saluted for the many years these gentlemen
have been involved with the various patriotic events in town,
most notably the Memorial Day Parades. This year they
participated in the Dan Gionet Bridge Naming Ceremony
and as always, they are there for comrades who pass away.
The VFW was pleased to name the American Legion Firing
Squad a noteworthy VFW Outstanding Volunteer this year.
Pati Forsaith, recent Department Manager of the Year, and
Amber Roche, produce manager of Hannafords, accepted
the award for its staff and its Manager Todd Grzywacz. They
can always be counted upon to provide donations to the
VFW monthly dinners; they allow the food pantry to collect
donations before Christmas each year where the VFW,
American Legion and other organizations assist. They often
allow non-prots from the community to be outside the store
to help them raise funds, and, since its the busiest place in
town, thats the place to be.
Also recognized were Pelham Public Library Director
Corinne Chronopoulous and Adult Services Librarian
Annie Seiler and all of the library staff for their efforts in
promoting patriotism and veterans through events such as
Tim Kennedys book presentation outlining his service and
Richard Rubins Last of the Doughboys presentation. They
support the VFWs Pursuit of Pelhams past annual scavenger
hunt and are truly making an impact in the community.
Ken Conrad from Walgreens can always be counted on
to support the troops through his continuous support of
MooreMart. He donates Christmas stockings and other items
needed by our troops serving overseas. Ken and Walgreens
were named as VFW Outstanding Volunteers of the Year.
The highlight of the evening was the awarding of a
Past Post Commander and Past Post Presidents award to
recognize Post and Auxiliary members who have really gone
above and beyond during the past year in their service to the
Post, veterans and the community. This year they recognized
a man who quietly gives his time to the VFW; he likes to
work behind the scenes and always has the Posts best
interests at heart, Lenny Pitts.
On the Ladies Auxiliary side, this lady truly exemplies
what it means to be an Auxiliary member. Shes willing to
come up with new ideas, bring ladies together and make
things happen. This years Past Post Presidents award went
to Leslie Kennedy.
As they evening came to a close, Mark McCabe
recognized members of the Pelham VFW and Ladies
Auxiliary for their outstanding efforts supporting veterans.
Last year VFW and LA members really stepped up and
worked hard for veterans within Pelham, throughout the
State of NH and across the country. With those efforts the
John H. Hargreaves Memorial Post for the rst time in 30
years was named All American Post, the highest award that
a post can earn within the VFW.
It was a bittersweet moment to see Mark McCabes four-
year term as commander come to an end and with a salute
as he turned the leadership of the Post 10722 over to Jim
Ehlinger. Jim served in the 82nd Airborne Division of the
Army and is a veteran of operation Desert Storm. Label pins
were passed forward as is the tradition.

Nicole described it to the rst and second graders who were having
lunch last Tuesday. The taste test recipe was Cinnamon Couscous
with raisins and craisins, and honey. It was a voluntary taste test, a
learning experiment for these 6, 7 and 8 year olds; a rough estimate
was that 80 percent came up to get the side salad and, when asked
if they like it, about 80 percent of the cafeteria put up their hands.
One student proclaimed it tasted like oatmeal, while another
mentioned that it would be good hot.
These students are familiar with trying new things as Miss
Vegetable comes to lunch once a month with something new and
healthy to try. Whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables have been
the main stay of Tuesday menus, and a wall chart showed where the
items t into the various food groups.
Chef Nicole has been with T-Bones and Cactus Jack for nine
years; she grew up in Hudson and was part of the culinary program
at Alvirne High School and then went on to the Southern New
Hampshire University culinary program. She has a undergraduate
degree and a masters in organizations and marketing.
The chef explained couscous is high in protein and can be a
delicious alternative to traditional pastas and white rice. Use it as
a bed for stew, meat or vegetables (the way Moroccans do), stir into
salads, or use as an entre with your favorite pasta sauce. It will
absorb the avors of whatever spices or sauce you are using, making
it versatile for most dishes youd use rice or other pastas with. It can
also be combined with fruit, almonds, cinnamon and sugar for a
simple dessert.
Brown became a full-time
Windham reghter back in
1974 and continues to serve
his community to this day. His
brother, Bill, now a Florida
snowbird for part of the year,
still serves as a call reghter in
Windham on a seasonal basis.
Windham Fire Chief Tom
McPherson said that Jim Brown
has served the town with due
diligence and respect. Its
been a job well done, Town
Administrator David Sullivan
added. Its people like this
who really make Windham a
very special town, Selectmens
chairman Ross McLeod said,
adding that the Browns
dedication speaks volumes
about the high caliber of
people who serve on both the
Windham Fire Department and
Police Department. A large
number of local reghters and
police ofcers attended the
presentation being made to Jim
Brown.
Jim Brown, who was
described by Sullivan as a
man of very few words, was
very humble in his acceptance
of the show of gratitude. I
love my job and I love the
people I work with, he said.
When asked if he planned
to continue working with
the re department, Brown
acknowledged he might add a
few more years to his tenure.

When heavy rain came in the morning we thought for sure it
would be a washout, but no sooner did the clock strike 9 a.m.
than the rain stopped and the sun began peeking out little by
little. By the time we reached the venue there was not a cloud
in the sky.
The deck was therefore a favorite spot and refuge for many
students from the loud music and crowded dance oor as we
gathered over the harbor to watch the sunset after eating a
buffet-style dinner. It was very nice to go out on the upper
deck. A nice breeze, the sunset, and later you could see the
stars, said WHS senior Joey Zannoni. Students oated between
the dance oor and the deck intermittently throughout the night,
going back in to enjoy an ice cream sundae and hear the much-
awaited announcement of prom prince, princess, king, and
queen.
Anastasia Dulskiy and Anthony Gallo, two juniors at WHS,
were named prom prince and princess by majority vote.
Likewise, Tyler Masone and Alexandra Aleksa, WHS seniors,
were named prom king and queen. The king and queen set the
trend as a slow song started, and, within a matter of about 30
seconds, the dance oor was crowded with couples. The dance
oor was packed the rest of the night, and though senior Jackie
Hoenisch says that she had the best time dancing the night
away, she says the music left something to be desired because I
miss the middle school classics: Cotton Eye Joe, YMCA, Thriller,
and all that.
Eleven oclock came around and it was time to start boarding
the buses and head back to the high school. With weather
beyond compare, a beautiful venue, and close friends coming
together to celebrate a year of hard work, the prom signaled
a fantastic beginning of the end of the school year. I thought
it was great. I loved the place, I loved everything about it,
said WHS junior Connor Garside. From the students, a huge
thank you to those students who helped plan the prom and the
staff who chaperoned and worked to make the prom possible.
Memories such as these are the ones we will look back upon in
fondness years from now when we remember our time at WHS.

A Sobering Fact: Driving Impaired is a Matter of Life and Death
by Barbara OBrien
If youve been drinking alcohol, using controlled substances
or even taking certain prescription drugs or over-the-counter
medications that might affect your ability to drive, take some good
advice; Dont get behind the wheel!
This is the most important message delivered during the third
session of Windhams Citizens Police Academy. Do not attempt to
determine sobriety yourself, said Sergeant Daniel Clark. While you
might feel capable of operating a motor vehicle, chances are that
you are somewhat impaired, if not legally intoxicated. As for the use
of marijuana, Its use is not a good thing when it comes to driving a
motor vehicle, Clark said.
Clark has been with the Windham Police Department for the
past 12 years. He served for 4 years as a detective, before being
promoted to sergeant. Ive had a lot of run-ins with drunks during
this time, Clark said. Sergeant Clark and Ofcer Shane Mirisola
presented the informative program on Driving under the Inuence
on May 1. Approximately 20 citizens are participating in the nine-
week program created by Sergeant Bryan Smith. The Citizens Police
Academy is something Chief Gerald Lewis had wanted to do for a
long time.
Ofcer Mirisola has worked in Windham for just over four years.
Both he and Clark are certied as Drug Recognition Experts, having
attended an intensive training program conducted in Arizona.
Theres a lot of dangerous stuff out there, Mirisola said, referring
to the vast selection of controlled substances and illegal drugs.
Drug Recognition Experts are police ofcers trained to recognize
impairment in drivers who appear to be under the inuence of drugs
other than or in addition to alcohol. Any substance taken into the
body can impair the ability of a person to operate a vehicle safely,
Mirisola noted.
According to a national survey, 22.6 million people (8 to 9%
of the population) have admitted to using illicit drugs within the
last month. Additionally, 32 million, more than 13.6 percent of
the population, have admitted to driving after drinking within the
last month. Males are twice as likely as females to drive under the
inuence. How long does it take to reach the legal limit? According
to Clark, that depends largely on the individual. Factors include
weight, tolerance level, type of alcohol, when the person last slept
and how much he or she had eaten recently.
In New Hampshire, the legal limit for driving is .08 for those 21
years of age or older, but drops to .02 for anyone under the age of
21. As for those operating large commercial vehicles (over 26,000
pounds), the legal limit for intoxication is .04. Offenders can be
charged with aggravated driving under the inuence if the vehicles
speed is in excess of 30 miles per hour over the posted speed limit.
According to Ofcer Mirisola, New Hampshire probably has the
best DWI language in the entire country.
State Law (RSA 265:A2) considers DUI as driving or making an
attempt to drive while impaired. If someone is sitting in a vehicle,
behind the wheel, parked on the side of a road or in a parking lot,
with access to the keys, and is impaired, he or she can be charged
with DUI, or DWI as it was once more commonly known. The
vehicle does not have to be in motion at the time for an arrest to be
made. The determining factor is that the person behind the wheel
has the capability to drive, Clark stated. DUI laws also pertain to
Off-Highway Recreational Vehicles. The law covers anyone who
is driving upon a way, from wood-line to wood-line, not just the
paved lanes.
For those who do venture out on the roadways after drinking
alcohol or using other chemical substances, there is always the
chance of being pulled over by police and asked to take a eld
sobriety test. We run into impaired drivers around the clock,
Mirisola said, not just after midnight. Often those who are
suspected of being impaired, because the vehicle is weaving down
the road, are actually texting while driving; behavior that can be just
as dangerous as being intoxicated. In New Hampshire, it is illegal to
text while driving.
There are three major elements that go into detecting an impaired
driver: observing the vehicle in motion, personal contact during a
motor vehicle stop and pre-arrest screening. We need reasonable
suspicion to stop a vehicle, Mirisola explained. Just cause for a
motor vehicle stop includes someone who is going too fast, too
slow, maintaining an inconsistent speed, weaving, crossing lines in
the road or equipment violations. Once a motorist is pulled over by
the side of the road, the police ofcer will take note of any odor of
alcohol on the drivers breath, slurred speech, slow and deliberate
motions, confusion or a blank stare. We take everything into
consideration, Mirisola said.
When making a motor vehicle stop for a suspected DUI, Windham
Police always ask for a backup ofcer. A lot of cooperative drunks
turn on you, just like that, Clark said. You just never know.
Females are the worst drunks ever, Clark commented, in that they
are much more likely to put up a ght.
When administering the eld sobriety test, usually done by the
side of the road, depending on weather conditions and terrain, the
rst test is called horizontal gaze nystagmus. The eyes never lie,
when it comes to being impaired, Clark stated. When someone
exhibits nystagmus, the eyes are jittery, something that only occurs
naturally in a very tiny percent of the population. Second, is the
one-leg stand, which checks the drivers balance, and third is the
divided attention test, in which the motor vehicle operator must
listen to a series of directions and then walk a straight line, heel to
toe, turn around and walk back again. Clark said he has had people
who wound up walking backward or started walking forward and
just kept going up the road. The eld sobriety test generally takes 10
to 15 minutes to administer.
If the driver is suspected of being impaired, he or she is then put in
the cruiser and taken to the police station, where he or she is asked
to submit to a toxicology (blood) test. If the person refuses to take
the test, his or her drivers license is automatically suspended for six
months. This is known as administrative suspension and is enacted
by the Department of Motor Vehicles. If the person does take the
toxicology test, he or she is allowed to keep his or her license until
court proceedings are held and a verdict is reached.
Safety is rst, Clark said. I have tested way more drivers than
I have arrested. In good conscience, I have to do the eld sobriety
test if I smell alcohol, he emphasized. Its a matter of life and
death. Whether or not to arrest someone for DUI is a matter of
discretion to some extent, he continued, And Id rather err on the
side of caution. If a driver doesnt appear to be legally intoxicated,
but is still exhibiting some impairment, Clark said he would suggest
parking the vehicle some place safe and having another person
come pick up the driver who has been drinking. At other times, if
someone is not legally intoxicated, but has been drinking, police
will follow a vehicle home to make sure the trip is made safely.
Identifying a person who is impaired because of substance abuse
is more difcult than determining if someone is drunk. The 12-step
process takes approximately 45 minutes to make a valid evaluation.
There are seven categories of drugs that police are nding during
these evaluations: depressants, cannabis, stimulants, hallucinogens,
inhalants, narcotics and dissociative anesthetics. A lot of people
are using poly-drugs, Clark said, referring to the use of more than
one type at the same time; a habit that is very destructive to the
person using them.
As for drug use in this area of the country, Heroin use around
here is out of control, Clark stated, adding that a heroin addiction
often starts with someone being prescribed a narcotic for pain relief.
If these pain relievers are used for too long or at too high a level,
and the doctor suddenly cuts off the prescription, some people seek
heroin as an alternative. Heroin is much cheaper and more readily
available than controlled substances such as Oxycontin. Drugs do
not discriminate, Mirisola said, noting that usage is found among all
levels of society.
School Facilities
Committees Looking
for Solutions
to Space Crunch
by Barbara OBrien
Just over a year ago, the majority of registered Windham voters
chose not to support the construction of a new seventh and eighth
grade school off London Bridge Road and, most recently, three out of
ve school board members decided not to spend any more money
on the portable classrooms located at Golden Brook School, but the
space crunch continues. As a result, the Windham School Districts
Long-Term School Facilities Committee has ramped up its efforts to
come up with a viable solution.
School board member Michael Joanis said the committee began
meeting late last month and will continue to meet on a weekly basis
for the next few weeks, at least. In addition to the committee, itself,
a sub-committee of community members has also been formed.
According to Joanis, any Windham resident who expressed interest
in working with the sub-committee was accepted as a member. The
committee and the sub-committee have separate tasks and will be
meeting both individually and together as needed.
Members of the Long-Term Facilities Committee, itself, include
Superintendent Winfried Feneberg, Business Administrator Adam
Steel, school board members Michael Joanis, Rob Breton and Dennis
Senibaldi, as well as Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment Director
Kori Becht and Windham Fire Chief Tom McPherson. Committee
members agreed, as a group, that they will not take any action on
behalf of the full school board.
Plans are to have a recommendation, on which direction to take, to
the full school board by June 17, with a projected date for the school
boards nal decision on how to proceed by October 7, 2014. It is
anticipated that a proposal will be put forth to voters next March.
School Board Gives Direction to Facilities Committee
by Barbara OBrien
In another late night meeting, the Windham School Board nally
agreed to task the School District Facility Committee with reviewing
and updating the existing facilities master plan in order to come up
with a recommendation on how to best deal with the worsening
space crunch. The decision to give guidance to the facilities
committee was a unanimous one.
The decision came about after facility committee members
asked the school board to narrow down the options that might
be available, as soon as possible. They need direction from the
school board, Superintendent Winfried Feneberg said. It was school
board Vice-chairman Dennis Senibaldis suggestion to have facility
committee members look at the long-range facilities master plan for
guidance. The master plan was formulated several years ago at a
substantial cost to the school district.
Although space constraints have been plaguing Windham for an
extended period of time, the situation was worsened when it was
discovered that the mold problem in the portable classrooms at
Golden Brook School had not be solved, as previously thought, and
the majority of board members ultimately chose not to spend any
more time, money or resources on xing the 14-year-old structure.
That decision resulted in a loss of 10 classrooms and the relocation
of four third-grade classes to Windham High School.
The only school board member who appeared to have a problem
with committee members referencing the existing master plan was
one of the newest members, Ken Eyring. Eyring said he believes
portions of the master plan are erroneous and questioned some
of the calculations. Eyring said he didnt have condence in the
districts facilities master plan.
Eyring also complained that he feels at a disadvantage because his
work schedule doesnt align with the times that facility committee
meetings are being held. Eyring said he wants to have more input
in the process. This is the most important decision well make
this year, Eyring said, noting that he wants all ve school board
members to attend facility committee meetings. Ultimately, were
responsible, Eyring said.
Currently, three board members are assigned to that committee:
Michael Joanis, Dennis Senibaldi and Rob Breton. Several
administrators are also committee members. In addition, a citizens
sub-committee has been formed. The committee and the sub-
committee generally meet separately, but also occasionally hold a
joint meeting. The school board doesnt want to interfere with the
citizens sub-committee, school board Chairman Jerome Rekart
said, adding that he wants there to be creativity in the process of
coming up with a viable recommendation.
Tom Murray, a member of the citizens sub-committee, said he
would prefer that any direction given to the sub-committee be broad
in nature, so as not to inhibit the sub-committees process. We
need to come up with short- and long-term solutions, Murray said.
Murray also commented that he would like to see a special school
district meeting held, so that a decision on any proposal to deal with
the space issue can be made by voters this year, rather than having
to wait until next March. Special school district or town meetings
must be approved by superior court and are granted only for very
specic purposes.
Sub-committee member Rich Amari emphasized that a lot of
work needs to be done before any proposal can be brought forth for
voter consideration and that its
important not to waste anyones
time in the process. Amari also
said he was very glad that the
school board is reaching out to
the public in soliciting opinions.
Were denitely trying to come
together as a team, school board
member Rob Breton said. Breton
also noted how important it is
to have numerous individuals
reviewing the existing master plan, not just school board members
and administrators. Weve got two solid groups of people ready to
take this on, Breton said.
A second motion that was passed at the May 20 school board
meeting advised the administration to come up with an estimate on
how much it would cost for architectural and engineering fees for
a possible construction project and where that money would come
from in the 2014-2015 school district operating budget, which goes
into effect on July 1. There is currently only $1,000 in that line
item. The motion passed by a vote of 4 to 1. Only Eyring voted in
opposition.
Board members also instructed facilities committee members to
engage the community in eliciting input and garnering support for
potential solutions. This issue
will be discussed further at the
school boards next meeting
on Tuesday, June 3, which will
begin at 7 p.m. and will be held
in the community development
building, nest to Windham Town
Hall. The public is welcome to
attend.

Pythons Stife Jaguars in Boys Lacrosse
by Marc Ayotte
Playoff hopes remain alive for the Pelham
boys Lacrosse team due in large part to a pair of
wins in an eight-day span over rival Windham.
The Pythons, while suffering losses to John
Stark Regional and Trinity on May 14 and 16,
respectively, posted bookend wins over the
Jaguars on the 12th and 19th of May; improving
to 3-7 on the year. The following day, Pelham
continued its late season drive for the playoffs
when they came away with a solid 8-4 win over
visiting Milford. With the win, the Snakes moved
into a tie for 13th place.
Looking forward, the Serpents nish off the
season with games against Manchester West,
Kearsarge and Monadnock, who combined,
possess a woeful 9-23 mark; boding well for
Pelhams chances of becoming one of the 16
teams to qualify for post season play.
Against John Stark (8-2), the Python offense
was held in check; coming out on the light side
of an 8-6 verdict. Luke Tracy led Pelham with a
pair of goals while Kevin Sabine, Dustin Lubinger,
Nick Wolfrom and Eric Guinasso added one tally
apiece. Collin Duff-Marsh played well in goal,
posting a dozen saves.
Two days later, Pelham dropped its second
decision of the year to Trinity, this time at home.
The Snakes could not hold onto
a 6-3 half time lead as they fell
to the Pioneers by a 10-9 score.
The Pythons, after relinquishing
the lead, scored with 20 seconds
left to tie the score at 9 apiece,
with overtime almost a certainty.
But Trinity received some divine intervention via a
suspect penalty call on Pelham that resulted in the
visitors scoring some seven seconds later to eke
out the one-goal win. Three Pythons posted a pair
of goals on the day; Luke Tracy (also two assists),
Dustin Lubinger and Nick Wolfrum. Adding
single goals were Harley Kearney, Trevor Gagnon
and Conor Hallaran.
Both wins against Windham were relatively
low-scoring affairs; the rst of which occurred in
Windham by a nal score of 8-6. Goalie Collin
Duff-Marsh stonewalled the Jags in the fourth
quarter by posting a goose egg en route to a 16-
save performance. The Pythons offense was led
by Dustin Lubinger and Harley Kearney who
each recorded a pair of goals. Luke Tracy, Eric
Guinasso, Justin Beecher and Mike Calistro each
added a single goal in the win.
Trailing 1-0 in the rst quarter, Pelhams Calistro
scored on a fast break goal to knot the score. The
Snakes would add four second-quarter goals from
Beecher, D-Lube and Kearney (2) to hold a 6-4
lead at the intermission. I felt we did a great
job in transition, recalled Coach Joe Young, who
enjoyed the win over the team he coached just a
season ago.
On May 19, the Snakes hosted Windham
(4-7) under the lights at the Harris Family Field
in Pelham. The Pythons, despite not scoring
in the nal frame, more importantly, held their
opponents scoreless in the middle two
quarters. Combined with scoring three
goals in each of the rst three quarters,
Pelham went on to dump the Jags by a 9-3
score. Instrumental in keeping Windham
at bay was Collin Duff-Marsh, recording 13
saves on the night; He really made a lot of
big saves tonight, recalled Coach Young.
Pelham jumped out to a quick, 2-nothing
lead on goals from Harley Kearney and
Nick Wolfrom, forcing Windham to call
a time out. The Jags returned to the eld
and quickly scored to cut the lead in
half, but before the intermission arrived,
Wolfrom added his second of the night,
and Luke Tracy chimed in with three of his
own, giving the Snakes a comfortable 6-1
cushion.
To open up the third quarter, Dustin
Lubinger scored a fast break goal to make
it 7-1. We wanted to make sure we didnt
come out at, reected Young on his teams
sluggish second half start against Trinity.
Leading Pelham in scoring was Luke Tracy
with seven points (4G, 3A) followed by
Nick Wolfrom (2G) and D-Lube, Kearney and
Guinassso with one goal apiece.
At home against Milford (4-8), the Pythons
jumped out to a 5-1 lead by the intermission
and then hung on to record an important 8-4
win. Were still working to put four quarters of
lacrosse together, observed Coach Young. The
Spartans were held in check by the continued
solid play of goalie Collin Duff-Marsh; Im
really impressed with the way he has played,
said Young of his goalies ability to come up with
big saves. Continuing with praise for his man
defending the Snakes cage, Young added: hes
great in transition as well.
The Pythons got out to a 2-0 lead on rst-
period goals from Wolfrom and Kevin Sabine
before Milford cut the lead in half by the quarters
end. But Pelham made a statement in what
proved to be the pivotal second stanza; scoring
three unanswered goals. Successive tallies by
Guinasso, Sabine and Luke Tracy gave the Pythons
a four-goal cushion before running the score to
7-1 mid-way through the third quarter.
Eric Guinasso, Sabine and Tracy each scored
two goals with Guinasso adding three helpers to
lead the team in scoring with a total of ve points.
Rounding out the goal scoring for Pelham was
Harley Kearney and Wolfrom with one apiece.
Lady Pythons Avenge Loss to Raymond
by Marc Ayotte
They needed to come up with a big win and thats exactly what
the Pelham girls Softball team accomplished when the Pythons
(8-4) defeated Raymond (8-5) by the score of 4-1 in a crucial, late
season match-up. Jordan Parece was solid in the home circle; going
seven complete, allowing just one run (0 earned) on three hits,
fanning six and not allowing a walk. The win came as retribution to
a 5-4 loss the Snakes suffered to the Rams earlier in the season on
their diamond. With the W, their third in a row, Pelham moved
into ninth place in the standings, just one spot out of being assured
at least one home game when the playoffs begin.
The Pythons took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second inning
when Kelsey Grimard (2-3, run, RBI) singled into the hole and
eventually scored on a Julia Barsalou (1-2, run, RBI) single to left
eld; that was huge, recounted Coach Todd Lozeau of his rst
basemans timely hit.
After the Rams tied the score at 1-all in the top of the fth, Pelham
answered with two in the home half. With one out, Barsalou
reached on a elders choice and then scored ahead of Hannah
Paitchel (1-3, run) who went yard, launching the uorescent sphere
deep over the left eld fence for a 3-1 lead. The Pythons added
an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth when Elissa Mogauro
reached on another elders choice, advanced to second on an error
and then scored on Grimards double. Also picking up hits on the
day were Chantal Roussel, Parece and Sarah Ferreira.
Prior to Raymond coming to town, Pelham recorded back-to-back
road wins against Mascenic and Sanborn Regional. Those wins
were in response to suffering a tough 5-3 home loss to Campbell on
May 7. Although pitcher Jordan Parece did not allow an earned run,
and Sarah Ratcliffe went 3-for-4 at the plate (including a home run),
Pelham committed three costly errors that led to another frustrating
loss to the Cougars.
continued to page19- Lady Pythons
Pelhams Luke Tracy (white) fres this shot wide, but scored 4 goals and added 3 assists
in the Snakes 9-3 win over the Jags.

Baseball Hall of Famer Speaks with Tigers and Pythons
by Marc Ayotte
For baseball fans such as myself whose age, shall we
say, indicates having rounded a few more bases than most,
many of our favorite players and events associated with
Americas past time have their origin back in the 1970s and
80s. Admittedly a Yankee fan since my single digit years, I
still cannot forget the 1975 Red Sox dynamic duo of Fred
Lynn and Jim Rice; with the former garnering Rookie of the
Year honors in 76 and the latter using that opportunity as
his personal launching pad for what eventually led to his
induction into the MLB Hall of Fame. And nearly 40 years
to the day after he made his debut with the Sox on August
19, 1974, Jim Ed Rice made his way to Pelham, N.H., to
speak with members of the Pelham Middle School baseball
team.
However, and interestingly enough as the events played
out, the aspiring major leaguers at the middle school were
not the rst ones to hear the Hall of Famer speak. While
Tiger Coach Vic Brown, who was instrumental in getting
Mr. Rice to appear, awaited the arrival of #14 at the eld
in back of the middle school, Jim Ed had inadvertently
stopped at the high school. And so, Coach Billy
Beauchesne and his Python squad were the
beneciaries of an impromptu Q and A session with
the former Red Sox great.
Engaged in small talk after doing some plumbing
work at Jim Rices home, Brown told Rice that he
was a coach in Pelham and simply asked if he would
consider talking to the PMS team. Normally I
dont, was what Rice initially said, but as things turned out
according to Brown; He called me and conrmed it.
After Rices interlude with the Pythons, he jumped in his
vehicle and followed Coach Brown to the middle school
diamond where he spent time speaking to the players as
well as engaged in a question-and-answer session Tiger
style. He told them what they need to work on, conveyed
Coach Brown of Rices chat with the 6th through 8th
graders.
I think the kids got a lot out of it, reected Coach
Brown, adding since the Hall of Famers visit; theyre
starting to learn a lot about what he talked about. Included
in that was giving up the concept of always trying to hit a
home run, and instead, drive through the ball. Despite
hitting 382 homers during his MLB career, Rice also nished
with a lofty .298 batting average. As such, Rice emphasized
to the players the philosophy of 3 for 10, intimating that
if you can go 3 for 10 in the majors (.300 avg), it could turn
into a multi-million dollar contract.
Although all of the players were born after Rices nal
year with the Sox (1989), a couple of Tigers were star-
struck regarding Rices trip to the local ball eld. Two in
particular as pointed out by Brown were Austin Chausse
and Max Matazzaro. Of the former, Brown noted his jaw
was about ready to drop, and with respect to the 7th grader
Matazzaro; he was in complete awe he idolized the guy.
Rice nished his visit with the team by autographing baseballs for

Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Jim Rice speaks to
the Pelham Memorial School baseball players.
Lady Pythons- continued from page 18
However, two days later, the Pythons rebounded nicely
by putting a 14-2 hurt on the Vikings, and followed that up
with another strong showing against Sanborn, beating the
Tribe 9-5. Sanborn is one of the premier teams in Division
II, currently tied for fourth place with a record of 10-4, with
half of their losses coming at the hands of the D-3 Lady
Pythons. In picking up ve points for a win over a D-II
opponent versus receiving four points for an intra-division
win, the Pythons have improved their rating (points
divided by games played), which is used to determine the
standings and, therefore, playoff positioning.
At Mascenic, the game was over early as the
Pythons put up a 5-spot in the top of the rst. Key
hits in the inning came from Elissa Mogauro, a two
RBI double-making it 3-0, followed by a two-run
inside-the-park homer off the bat of Erin Long (1-
3, run, 2 RBI) to make it 5-0. Pelham had a new
face in the circle as Shannon Morin made her rst
varsity start. The freshman responded nicely to
getting the nod from Coach Todd Lozeau by going
all six innings, allowing two runs (0 earned) on
just two hits, while fanning ve and walking only
one. She pitched outstanding especially for her
rst varsity start, exclaimed Lozeau, adding her
control was great.
Morin received tremendous offensive support
as the Pythons hit parade totaled a bakers
dozen. Leading Pelham with a multi-hit game
were Hannah Paitchel (3-4, 2 runs, 2 RBIs, 2B),
Mogauro (2-2, 2 runs, 2 RBIs, 2B) as well as Morin
who helped her own cause going 2-for-4 including
a double and a run scored. Rounding out the
Pelham attack were Sarah Ratcliffe (1-3, 2 runs
RBI, 2B), Sarah-Jane Spicer (run), Sarah Ferriera
(run) and Jordan Parece, who each recorded a
single and a run batted in.
Against Sanborn, Pelham scalped the Tribe for
the second time this season; adding to a thrilling
7-6 win at home on May 5. Jordan Parece was
back in the circle for the Pythons, going the
distance by allowing just three earned runs despite
giving up 14 hits in recording the win. The
offensive star once again for Pelham was freshman
phenom, Sarah Ratcliffe (2-3, 3 runs 3 RBI), who
went yard a pair of times; the rst one being a solo
shot in the rst that put her team out in front 1-0.
After the Indians tied the score in the bottom of
the second, Pelham regained the lead with a pair
of runs in the visitors half of the third. Chantal
Roussel singled to get on, bringing Ratcliffe to
the plate, leaving Coach Lozeau perplexed yet
pleased; they decided to pitch to her again.
Ratcliffe promptly responded with a two-run shot
to left for a 3-1 lead. However, Sanborn would
come back with one in the third, two more in the
fourth, and match Pelhams run in the fth to own
a 5-4 lead heading into the decisive sixth. We
exploded, recalled Lozeau as he cited key hits
leading to the ve-run inning. Parece had a sac y
to make it 7-5 and then Mogauro nished off the scoring
on the day with a two-RBI single.
Offensively, Pelham was able to match Sanborns 14-hit
attack. Collecting three hits apiece were Mogauro (3-4,
2 RBIs), Roussel (3-5, 2 runs, RBIs), and Sarah-Jane Spicer
who went 3-for-4 with a run batted in. Also picking up
singles on the day were Parece and Paitchel, and the latter,
according to Lozeau, played phenomenal defense.

Pythons Compete Well at D-I Dominated Meet
by Marc Ayotte
The Pelham High boys and girls Track and Field teams traveled
to Merrimack on Thursday, May 15, to compete in a meet comprised
mostly of larger Division I schools such as Alvirne, Concord, Nashua
as well as the host Tomahawks. The Pythons continue to ne tune
their collective performances in preparation of competing in the
Division II state championships on Saturday, May 31. Once again
this year, Pelham High will be the host school as the event takes
place at the Harris Family Track & Field Complex.
The Lady Pythons placed seventh in the 14-school eld, nishing
with 28 team points. Coe-Brown (137) ran away with the event,
more than doubling-up second-place Exeter which nished with 61
points. The boys squad nished with 18 team points, good for 11th
place behind meet champions Pinkerton (103).
The Sky-ler is the limit for Lady Pythons sophomore
sensation Skyler Goss, as she continues to rack up team points
with outstanding individual performances. At Merrimack, Goss
contributed 19 points toward the team score; with 10 of them
coming from an impressive showing in the triple jump. Goss
hopped-skipped-jumped her way to a distance of 35 feet, 2.5
inches to nish 1st in the event. Adding to her point totals in the
eld events, she nished sixth in the pole vault; clearing the bar at
a height of 9 feet even. On the track, Goss took second place in
the 100-meter high hurdles with a time of 16.02 (just .21 seconds
behind Concords Rebecca Massah).
Katelyn Surprenant had a strong showing for Pelham as well. She
placed third in the 300-meter IM hurdles with a time of :18.73,
nished 10th in the triple jump with a distance of 30 feet, 9 inches
and then was part of the sixth-place 4x400 relay team (4:21.52) also
comprised of Shannen Arseneault, Shaylyn Harrington and Brooke
Paradis. Rounding out Lady Python point nishers was Lauren
Austin who tied for 4th (4 feet 6 inches) in the high jump.
Not quite as prolic in scope as his female counterpart, was Joe
Halpin who nonetheless was impressive in leading the boys team;
contributing 10 points out of the team total of eighteen. Halpin
chipped in with six points resultant of his leap of 21 feet in the
long jump (third) along with four more points, coming from his
fourth-place nish in the triple jump (40 feet, 3 inches). Along
with teammates Sutton Bradbury-Koster, Jared Hannon and Kellan
Brouder, Halpin was also part of the 4x100 relay team which
nished fth with a time of 45.81 seconds.
Individually, Bradbury-Koster continued to make a strong case for
being the favorite to take the state title in the 110 HH with a third-
place nish; nishing just .61 seconds behind rival Ben DeForest of
Souhegan. Other notable efforts came from Jared Hannon; who in
addition to his relay contribution also nished 7th in the competitive
long jump event, turning in a distance of 20 feet, 3.5 inches and,
Brouder who nished eighth with a mark of 37 feet, 6.25 inches in
the triple jump. Also earning Coach Don Mullens praises for near
qualifying efforts in their respective sports were Morgan Pinksten,
who nished seventh in the 100-meter high hurdles (missing the
nals by just one second) and Bryce Blanchard who also nished
seventh in the 1600-meter run.
Be sure to head out to Harris Family Field on May 31 to support
your Pelham High Track & Field athletes as they compete in the D-II
state championships.
Windham Wolverines Add Heads Up Football National Safety Training
submitted by Holly Breton
The Windham Wolverines Youth Football and Cheer
Association has become a registered member of USA Footballs
Heads Up Program, a national initiative to promote safe football
performance.
According to Kyle McInnis, Wolverines director of football
coaching and player development, Heads Up Football offers
the only nationally accredited courses with content created
by football experts and health professionals. The Heads Up
program is a comprehensive collection of resources for coaches,

of player safety and performance in youth and high school
football.
According to McInnis, key components of the program
include coaching education and certication; Heads Up
tackling training; concussion recognition and awareness; and
heat & hydration education. The Wolverines are excited to add
Heads Up Football to our other comprehensive coaching and
player training programs to promote the best and safest possible
experiences for our players, McInnis said.
Heads Up, which stresses tackling methods aimed at reducing
the risks of concussions and other head and neck injuries, is
operated by USA Football, which receives funding from the NFL.
USA football says that roughly 600,000 youth football players in
the U.S. have registered with Heads Up-afliated leagues.
Established in 2011, the Windham Wolverines has over 180
football players in grades 2-8 and 150 cheerleaders in K-8
grades. The Wolverines participate in the New Hampshire
Youth Football Spirit Conference. In just its rst three season,
the Wolverines have produced highly competitive football and
cheer teams, including two state champion football teams and a
national cheer team champion.
With an extremely high retention rate of players and
cheerleaders and a close collaboration with the Windham
High School Jaguars football program, the organization has
become a highly positive part of the Windham community.

Pythons in Middle of Wide Open D-III Playoff Race
by Marc Ayotte
The nal week of the season is going to dictate whether the
Pelham High Baseball team will enjoy any home eld advantage
during the rst round of the playoffs, or, for that matter, if they even
qualify for the tournament. As of May 21, the Pythons (7-4) seem to
be comfortably yet precariously positioned just inside the top ten, at
the number-nine spot in the ercely competitive D-III standings.
Realistically, 23 teams continue to be in serious contention for the
available 20 playoff spots, and with the standings in constant, daily
ux, its certain the Pythons nal playoff picture will not be painted
until their nal three-game, season-ending home stand is complete
with a senior day game against Mascenic.
Meanwhile, the Snakes could have given themselves a little more
breathing room with a win against Raymond (7-6) on May 20, but
several stellar defensive plays by the Rams combined with three
costly Snake elding miscues led to a disheartening 3-1 loss.
Pelham held a 1-0 lead through ve complete but allowed two
unearned runs over the nal two innings to spoil an otherwise
effective outing on the hill by Chris Gamble. The Python hurler
suffered the loss despite
allowing only one
earned run on six hits
in his seven innings of
work. He also helped
his own cause by
producing the only RBI
on the day for Pelham,
which came on a third-
inning double.
The Pythons went
2-1 in the three games
prior to Raymond;
including a 6-2 loss to
Campbell, an 8-4 win
over Mascenic and a
big 7-5 victory over
Sanborn (D-II) which
earned them an extra
point toward their
rating a formula
used in determining
playoff positioning
(points divided by
games played).
At Mascenic, the
bats were hot as ve
players, Gamble, Dan Spicer, Mike Pelletier, Cam DeLoreto and
Jake Vaiknoras (2-4, 3 runs), banged-out doubles. Joe Slattery also
recorded a pair of hits in leading the team with 3 ribbies. Chris
Gamble picked up the win in relief of Ryan Frank who went the rst
ve, but had given way to Gamble who was on the hill when Pelham
scored 5 late-inning runs to win it.
At Sanborn, Chris Benjamin went the distance, allowing ve runs
on four hits, walking six but also fanning eight Indians in getting the
W. Gamble (2-3, run, 2 RBIs) and Vaiknoras (1-2, 2 RBIs, 3B) led
Pelhams offense, as they improved to 7-3 at the time.
