Trumps National
Campaign Manager
Returns to Windham
by Barbara OBrien
This past weekend, Corey Lewandowski, national campaign
manager for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump,
made a quick trip home to Windham to attend the annual townsponsored Daddy/Daughter Dance at Castleton.
According to long-time friend and Republican political
advocate Bruce Breton, Lewandowski flew back to New
Hampshire on April 1, just in time to escort his young daughter
to that evenings event. The dance is very popular here in
town, Breton said. Corey had asked Cheryl Haas (Recreation
Coordinator) to reserve him tickets several months ago, Breton
said. Breton, who served as one of the chaperones for the dance,
is also one of Windhams five selectmen, now in his second year
of a three-year term.
School board member Tom Murray also attended the Daddy/
Daughter Dance with his youngest daughter. Referring to
Lewandowskis attendance at the dance, Murray said, That
just shows you how
important the dance
was to him and his
daughter.
Hes a stand-up
family man in my
book, Murray added.
Anytime I have
ever talked to him
he has been a nice
guy, Murray said.
We all had a lot of
fun at the dance.
Lewandowski and his
wife have four young
children. They have
lived in Windham for
about 15 years.

in the early morning
hours of April 2.
The Wisconsin Primary Election was slated for three days later.
Corey is on the road so much of the time, Breton commented.
It was just great that he was able to get home to visit, even for a
little while.
Breton also remarked that there had initially been some
concern about Lewandowski being at the dance, due to his
association with Trump and also recent allegations that he
assaulted a reporter in Florida. Breton said that Windham Police
Chief Gerald Lewis had been notified of Lewandowskis plans
in advance of the dance. There were no problems with the
national press showing up at the event, however, Breton noted.
Thankfully, it was just a great night for a lot of Windham dads
and their daughters.
Corey has been a great friend of mine for years, Breton
said, recalling that the two of them first met about 12 years ago.
Breton, who underwent extensive heart surgery several years ago,
commented that Lewandowski had visited him at the hospital
on several occasions during his ordeal, and had also been there
when Bretons parents experienced health problems. Corey is
one of the hardest-working, dedicated, nicest people you could
ever meet, Breton said. Hes simply an outstanding guy.
Lewandowski has been a New Hampshire-based activist for
the past 20 years. He is the former New Hampshire Director
of Americans for Prosperity, a position that was followed by his
being named as the East Coast Regional Director of Americans
for Prosperity. More recently he served as the director of national
voter registration for the organization. In 2012, Lewandowski
ran unsuccessfully as Windhams town treasurer, losing to longterm town treasurer Bob Skinner. He and Breton were also
successfully involved in an endeavor to acquire lower cost
insurance premiums for the Town of Windham.
Breton said that he and Lewandowski still talk on the phone
once or twice a week. When asked if they discuss the simple

Mary Tomaski holds a baby goat born just one week ago.
U.S. statistics for 1916 show that Woodrow Wilson and Thomas
R. Marshall were president and vice president respectively; the
population was 101,961,000; the Easter Rebellion in Ireland was
put down by British troops; the cost of a first-class stamp was 2
cents; and the 20th Boston Marathon was won by Arthur Roth of
Massachusetts with a time of 2:27:16.4. And then came Mary.
Pelham resident Mary (Kaupinis) Tomaski was born on April 4,
1916. In her early years, Mary lived in Methuen, Mass., attended
Searles High School, worked at Sears business offices and then
returned to school for further training in business. Next, she went
on to New York to work for the government during World War II and

divulged a few weeks later.
Popovici-Muller said he feels this process is a slippery slope,
adding that he is concerned that a line might be crossed that
shouldnt be if school board
members decide to reveal
the reasons why they cast a
particular vote. Breton said
he feels any public comment
on a vote should be limited to
saying, We felt it was in the best
interest of the school district.
Senibaldi disagreed to some
extent on what could be said
by an individual school board
member. As board members,
we are still entitled to express
our own opinions, as long as
we dont disclose confidential
information, Senibaldi
commented. Its always safe to
say I cant comment, PopoviciMuller retorted. We need to be
prudent!
When in doubt, dont let it
past your lips, Elwell urged at
least not without consulting the
full school board first.
Elwells final piece of advice
for the evening was, Its a
practical impossibility for any
school board member to know
every single thing that is going on in the school district. Let the
school district employees do their jobs, he said. Thats why they
were hired.

All About
ME
There are so many TV shows about the
Apocalypse and life after a cataclysmic
event. We are a society obsessed with
the end of the world or the end of life as
we know it. All the younger generations
think they can survive any type of
catastrophic event. Unfortunately,
theyre wrong. The younger generations
would be the first to go, and the old
timers will be the ones to stick it out the
longest and heres why:
There would be no Google. If I dont
know what something is or how to do
something I either look it up on Google
or I YouTube it. I dont know any useful
survival skills. Ive never been in any
situation where I could just call someone
to bail me out of whatever mess I am in.
I dont know how to kill, skin and
properly cook an animal, nor do I know
too many people my age who do. I
suppose more people up North or in
rural areas would know more about that
sort of thing. I would have to look it up
on the internet. Lets be honest, Im not
the type of person that would kill, skin
and cook an animal. I have nothing
against hunting or eating meat. That just
seems like a lot of gross work and I dont
cook. If I cant microwave my meal, I
wont be eating.
There would be no GPS or MapQuest.
I get lost even with the male Australian
voice on my phone trying to successfully
guide me to my destination. At least
with GPS I have a fighting chance

lobby of Wakefield Vette in Pelham. She intends
to major in architecture in college. Grinley hadnt
been planning on pursuing a career in the arts, but
once Mr. Locke got a look at her drawings during
an Intro to Arts class, he helped her to realize her
potential. Then I signed up for all the art classes
at school I could get, explained Grinley. Her art
portfolio won a Silver Key.
2015-2016 was Ms. Jones first year teaching at
Pelham High. Im very impressed with the talent
of the kids, she admitted. I attribute it to the
system, coming up through the Intro course which
is designed to break art down into something
very workable to show the students early on that
they can succeed at stuff they already think they
cant do. We have students fresh out of middle
school art, and they are taking on challenging
assignments because were giving them the
direction and the confidence to try.
Jenya Becker, a senior at Pelham High was the
national winner of the American Visions Nominee
for her piece titled Fatigue which is a portrait
of her friend Jeremiah and represents the stress
in a teenagers life. It depicts her friend with
four hands yanking at him, each in a different
direction. One hand is barely touching him,
because hes got a strong grip on it and is trying to
pull it off of him. He is seen looking in a mirror
and when hes looking to himself hes relaxed,
but outside hes going in different directions,
explained Becker.
Mr. Locke taught us that art is not something
you are born with, it is something you can learn.
Becker said. I felt I was pretty good, but Mr.
Locke gives you so much confidence, I feel that all
the awards I got were because of him, because he
