Volume 15 Number 5 August 26, 2016 12 Pages

by Barbara OBrien
Windham School Board members have unanimously voted to
hire the firm of E. W. MacMillan to serve as the school districts
construction manager during an anticipated major construction
project at Golden Brook School, as well as renovations at
Windham Middle School. Overcrowding and space constraints
have been a serious dilemma for years.
The proposal expected to be put forth to voters next March is
anticipated to be similar to the project that nearly passed voter
scrutiny this past March. While a 60 percent majority vote
was required to pass a bond construction project, last springs
proposal came very close, with a 57 percent majority of votes
cast. Members of the Building and Grounds Committee continue
to tweak last years proposal and are moving forward with
developing a proposal they hope will meet with voter approval
next spring. Last years proposal totaled $38,950,000.
Superintendent Richard Langlois said that the school district
had received three applications for the position of construction
manager; each of which was a strong candidate. Following a
presentation by E. W. MacMillan to the school board on Aug. 9,

Paige Craven, Eveline Snell and Erin Kane, fifth graders of
Windham Center School, delivered a check for $3,062.74 to
Lisa Scherber, director of Patient and Family Programs with
Dana-Farber/Boston Childrens Cancer Center. The money was
raised by the Windham Center School community and friends
and family of the girls.
Paige started Coins for Cancer last year and recruited her
friends to join her to help support children and their families
affected with cancer. The girls went to school early once a
week throughout the year to collect coins and also attended
some community events. A few classes celebrated the 100th
day of school by collecting 100 coins to add to the donations.
Their efforts paid off as this year the girls raised more than
double of what they collected last year.
The money will be used to provide support programs and
services for children receiving treatment at the clinic. These
are the best donations we receive, kids helping kids, stated
Lisa Scherber. The funds will go directly to creating smiles
and laughter to so many Jimmy Fund children specifically
for our annual Winter Festival. We are all so grateful for the
generosity of an entire community led by some amazing
young girls!

State Removes
Cyanobacteria
Warning for Little
Island Pond in Pelham
submitted by NH Department of Environmental Services
The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services
has removed a cyanobacteria lake warning issued on Aug. 5 for
Little Island Pond in Pelham. Samples collected Aug. 10 had
no visible signs of cyanobacteria and the cell concentration
was well below the state standard of 70,000 cells/ml of
cyanobacteria. However, once a bloom has been seen in a
lake, that lake is more likely to have future blooms. Continue
to monitor your individual shoreline for changing conditions
and avoid any large amounts of growth in the water.
DES routinely monitors public beaches and public waters
of the state for cyanobacteria. Once a cyanobacteria
warning has been issued, DES returns to affected waterbodies
on a weekly basis until the cyanobacteria bloom is not
evident. Cyanobacteria are natural components of water
bodies worldwide, but blooms and surface scums may form
when excess phosphorus is available to the water. Some
cyanobacteria produce toxins that are stored within the cells
but released upon cell death. Toxins can cause both acute
and chronic health effects that range in severity. Acute health
effects include irritation of skin and mucous membranes,

Another School
Principal Leaves
Windham
by Barbara OBrien
With slightly more than two weeks to go before students
return to classes in Windham, the school district was hit by the
resignation of yet another administrator.
It was announced in mid-August, that Windham Center School
Principal Kathy Bates had tendered her resignation and accepted
a job as curriculum director for the Exeter Cooperative School
District. Bates follows in the footsteps of former Windham
Middle School Principal Patti Wons, who turned in her resignation
a few weeks earlier, to take on the role of principal at Exeter
Cooperative Middle School. Bates worked in Windham for
several years, while Wons was only employed in the Windham
School District for the 2015-2016 school year.
During the Aug. 16 school board meeting, it was announced
that Golden Brook School Principal Rory OConnor would be
shifting to Windham Center School, to assume the job of principal
there. Bates was said to be helping with OConnors transition
between the two schools, before heading off to Exeter. Bates lives
in the Stratham/Exeter area, a career move that will allow for an
easier commute.
It was not clear whether OConnor is assuming the job of
Windham Center School Principal on an interim basis, as is the
case with Windham Middle School Principal Brenda Morrow,

John H. Hargreaves Memorial VFS Post 10722
The comrades of the Pelham VFW Post 10722 are asking for your
help in honoring the soldiers from Pelham that lost their lives to
protect our country and way of life in the many past conicts and
wars.
The Pelham VFW is erecting a polished black granite bench outside
the entrance of the Pelham Town Hall to honor those fallen Pelham
veterans. The names of our fallen comrades will be engraved on this
bench as a memorial to their ultimate sacrifice.
Very few residents of Pelham are aware of how many of our citizens
served and died in battle, from the American Revolution to our
current conicts in all parts of the world. They died safeguarding the
freedoms and opportunities we enjoy today. This bench will serve as
a memorial, a means to inform the public, and a place to rest.
I would like to offer your business the opportunity to contribute
to this worthy memorial. The estimated cost of the memorial bench,
with the engraving and its concrete pad will be in excess of $4,000.
Your contribution will be recognized with a letter of thanks for your
donation and a framed certificate of appreciation from the John H. Hargreaves
Memorial Post 10722 and Auxiliary Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States,
Pelham. We are a 501(c)(19) organization and your donation should be IRS tax
deductible.
Please make your contribution out to Pelham Post 10722 VFW earmark it for
KIA Bench and send it to our address: John H. Hargreaves Memorial Post
10722, Veterans of Foreign Wars, 6 Main St., Pelham, NH 03076.
Our projected date of completion and dedication will be on the Pelham Old
Home Day Celebration Saturday, Sept. 17. We appreciate your tax deductible
donation.

Scouts. In between family vacations, crazy weather and other commitments the Scouts have been
extremely busy working on their next ranks. Scouts learned valuable lessons in gardening from making
compost, planting seeds to the benefit of pollination from Bees and the role that the Bees play in helping

participated in fundraisers at the

Letters to our Editor

Regarding NH State Rep.


Kimberly Rice
I have come to know Kimberly as a very caring,
compassionate and strong woman, fighting for the rights of
NH families.
I met her quite a while ago, on one of my many trips
to the Concord State House, before she ever even ran for
State Representative of Hudson. She is an exceptional lady
and works tirelessly for the people of NH on a daily basis.
Kimberly has become a great asset to all of us. She has helped
many, as well as my own family. You couldnt ask for a better
State Rep to represent the people of NH. She is definitely
making a dierence in Concord, standing up for each and
every one of us. Her hard work is very much appreciated and
hopefully, she might even run for State Senate one day. She
has my vote!

NHARNG Retiree Luncheon Date Set
The New Hampshire Army National Guard (NHARNG)
eighth annual Retiree Luncheon date has been set for
Thursday, Sept. 15, by the luncheon planning committee.
The committee is made up of current and retired Army
National Guard members. Our immediate goal is to notify
all retired NHARNG members about this upcoming event
and the change from the traditional Wednesday to Thursday.
Retirees who have not attended prior luncheons or have
relocated are urged to contact Command Sergeant Major

This years luncheon will be at the Joint Force Headquarters
building on the State Military Reservation in Concord and
will feature a briefing on the current status of the NHARNG
as well as exhibits and displays of interest to retirees. A
group photo is also planned. Feedback from previous retiree
luncheons tells us the most significant attraction for attendees
is renewal of old acquaintances, retelling stories (often
embellished beyond recognition) and exchanging military
memories.
The planning committee asks if you know of someone who
has retired from NHARNG to pass this information along.
At ease; dismissed!

warning, volunteers faced and conquered that challenge.
Once again music, food, fireworks and lots of laughter filled
the grounds of Hills House for four fabulous days.
For every unsung and unnamed volunteer who gave hours
and knowledge, we thank you for providing such a marvelous
event for everyone in the area. We appreciate not only
your eorts, but also your enthusiasm and commitment in
producing this event. Thank you.
Lynne and Russ Ober, State Representatives, Hudson

Mia Maggie
Governor Maggie Hassan seems to have a very selective
memory. She doesnt seem to remember last summer, when
she vetoed the states budget and put critical funding for many
dierent agencies at risk. Her veto was completely politically
motivated she was setting up her run for U.S. Senate and
wanted to look like she was taking on the Republicans but
she ultimately let an almost identical budget pass. She was
directly responsible for a three-month stalemate that didnt
end up looking that great for her when the budget passed over
her veto anyways. Now, Governor Hassan is gallivanting all
across the country, bragging about how she balanced the state
budget and created a surplus. She seems to have conveniently
forgotten that she tried to stop that very same budget from

moving forward ... It also appears shes forgotten about her


quarterly spending reports, which are now months late. Thats
weird, because she was the one who signed the law making
these reports mandatory. Someone ought to remind Governor
Hassan of her record in New Hampshire before she even
thinks about asking for a promotion this November.
Zach Montanaro, Windham

Credit Shouldnt Go
Where it Isnt Due
Maggie Hassan has touted the state budget as one of her
success as governor, but that doesnt quite add up. Didnt
Governor Hassan veto the budget when it came across her
desk last summer? She opposed the legislatures budget
because it oered tax relief for businesses, and subsequently
vetoed it. The budget that she allowed to pass (over her veto,
I should add) was virtually identical, and has now actually
created a $100 million surplus. Guess who wants all the
credit? Governor Hassan.
I taught my kids never to take credit for someone elses
work. I think they could teach their governor a thing or two.
Laura Spottiswood, Pelham

Its Not the Governors Budget,


Its the Legislatures Budget
Recently we have all seen several advertisements touting
how our Governor balanced the budget. Folks, the
Governor proposes a budget that is all. The Governor does
nothing more than suggest what should be in the budget. For
the last too many years the Governors proposed budgets have
only been spend, tax, spend, tax and spend some more. This
approach has seriously harmed New Hampshire economically
and helps drive up the cost of living in our state.
The state budget is crafted and passed by the legislature. It
begins in the House and is modified in the Senate and then
both vote on a balanced budget. It is not the Governors
budget, it is the legislatures budget. This past year a solid
balanced budget was passed by a Republican Party-led
House and Senate. That sound budget was vetoed by our
Governor causing direct harm to the eort to combat the
opioid situation; provide funding for law enforcement and
educational services; provide funding to treatment programs
and in many more areas. The veto was easily overridden by a
responsible Republican-led legislature so that urgently needed
state services could continue. Yet the press and campaign
advertisements continue to state the Governor balanced the
budget.
Under the New Hampshire Constitution the only budget
that can be passed is a balanced budget. To claim the
Governor balanced the budget is at best an uninformed
falsehood. Hard work was taken by the House to craft a
budget beginning with a careful analysis of what revenues
would be available based upon projected revenue (a polite
term for the taxes and fees we pay). That work was done by
Ways and Means in long and sometime tiring Committee
sessions. I sit on House Ways and Means. Then the Finance
Committee takes individual bits of the operations of the State
and analyzes what is done and planned to be done with the
revenue expected. The operations are graded and evaluated
and approved as necessary to balance the budget so that
New Hampshire spends only within its means. This is done
separately in the House and Senate to get a comprehensive
picture of our economic situation.
This is a far dierent approach than that of several years
ago when literally scores of new taxes were proposed to
supposedly generate more and more revenue, that just did not
happen, could not happen. Indeed, this past budget cycle
the Republican-led legislature reduced business taxes to help
keep jobs in New Hampshire. That is another falsity seen in
advertisements that our Governor is a jobs leader. The fact
is that your Republican-led legislature reduced taxes, helped
businesses to expand and thus generate more revenue. It
seems that much of the leadership information generated
by the Governor for a campaign is less than accurate. It is
sound leadership by the Republican legislature, by those that
have served diligently, which has generated the strong fiscal
position in which New Hampshire finds itself, not the tax and
spend and tax some more policies of the past.
Jordan Ulery, Hudson

ESTATE PLANNING- ITS YOUR FUTURE

Whos Fighting for


These Victims?
Theres rarely anything that gets me
enraged. I dont really care about most
of the stuff that happens today. Its overdiscussed and over-analyzed by people
who dont have lives. However, this
topic does not get talked about enough,
and it is one of the very few things that I
genuinely get really upset about.
Im a huge fan of documentaries. I find
them fascinating and informative. About a
year ago I watched a documentary called
The Invisible War. I highly recommend
watching it. It came out in 2013 and it
won numerous awards,
including a 2014 Emmy
for Best Documentary,
a 2013 Emmy award
for Outstanding
Investigative Journalism
- Long Form, as well as
a few others.
Watching this
documentary literally
made me sick to my stomach. It was
about women who got raped while
serving our country. Ive never heard of
this problem before. Its not that I didnt
believe that it existed, it just wasnt a
thought that had ever crossed my mind. I
had never seen any news stories about it,
which is weird, because even a year ago
I thought that I was pretty well-informed.
After some research I realized that I wasnt
as informed as I thought. It turns out
that there are a lot of major issues that
are just not discussed in the media; so, I
feel as though its part of my job to draw
attention to these types of issues.
A good number of sexual assault
victims in the military are male, not just
female. Many sexual assault cases go
unreported. Its difficult to get proper
statistics because both male and female
victims often will not report the assault.
According to defense.gov the number of
sexual assault victims in the army in the
year 2014 was 20,300. In 2013 about
62 percent of women reported the sexual
assault. Social retaliation accounted
for the largest form of perceived
retribution, but 32 percent said they faced
professional retaliation and 35 percent
experienced an adverse administrative
event after reporting an incident,
according to defense.gov. Any percent of
professional retaliation is unacceptable,
and 32% is way too high when reporting
a sexual assault case.
The worst part was if the woman who
was raped by a fellow soldier reported it
and had the rape kit done, that evidence
would suddenly become lost. The male
soldier would get away with rape. Thats
disgusting and thats a shame. These men
and women are serving our country, and
to treat them that way is one of Americas
dirty little secrets. I do support our
troops, and I am thankful for all the good
that they have done, but just because
one wears a soldiers uniform should not
excuse them from raping a fellow soldier.
Many times if a woman tries to pursue
a case against a fellow officer, especially
a superior, she could be the one facing
repercussions. Seriously? Thats terrible.
Not only is the woman the one who
got raped, but if she goes forward with
the claim, its a very real possibility that
she is the one who will get in trouble,
not the man. Im sorry, but I thought
this was America, not the Middle East?
Why should these women, fighting for
our freedom, be subjected to sexual
harassment and sexual assault, and then
subjected to more pain when they try to
charge their attacker? Its just a really big

disappointment and another example of


the U.S. being hypocritical. We think
that other countries should have tougher
rape laws, but our laws dont even protect
the women that fight and serve for our
country. Sorry guys, but I believe if you
abuse it you lose it, especially if you
abuse it repetitively.
Now that this problem has been
brought to the governments attention,
there are some things being done to
help decrease these numbers, and the
numbers have decreased. Its slow and
there are still too many
inexcusable sexual
assault cases, towards
both men and women.
Some progress is better
than none.
All About
However, because
this is an election
year I feel the need
to drag Hillary and
Trump into this issue. If these are the
two best presidential candidates that
the U.S. can come up with, then we are
already screwed. I Googled about what
their stance is, or what their plans are for
sexual assault in the military. What came
up for Trump was an inappropriate tweet
about the subject. What came up for
Hillary was how she tried to silence her
husbands sexual assault claim and freed
a child rapist, and then laughed about it.
Im not sure if these are true, but these are
just the first things that come up. You can
try Googling for yourself.
So Trump is a insert creative name here
towards everyone, not just women. I also
dont think he has made any promises
about closing the wage gap or improving
the lives of women. He is just the picture
perfect example of political incorrectness.
Hillary is probably going to win the
presidential election. I dont think
shes going to be arrested for any of the
crimes shes committed. Good for her, I
guess. Its impressive how she can buy
and threaten her way out of anything.
However, it blows my mind that she
says she is for women when she doesnt
even say anything about sexual assault
towards women in the army. Bill Clinton
cant keep it in his pants and Hillary has
to waste her valuable time hiding and
silencing her husbands victims. If you
cant stand up or protect women from
your own husband how can you protect
an entire country of women?
Vote for whoever you want, they both
suck. I dont know why everyone wants
to move to Canada, its even colder there
than it is here. Im moving to a tropical
island. In 2017 you can find me on the
beach being served sangria by a hot
shirtless man.
So Im sure Im going to get e-mails
this week; as always you can e-mail at
Nicole@areanewsgroup.com. I do read
all the e-mails and respond to some.
Please keep the e-mails classy and
intellectual because some of you dont.
Offense meant.
Down below I have listed some sources
if any of my readers are interested to learn
more about this. I highly recommend
watching The Invisible War as well.

Summer has begun its final descent
into fall and that means that the school
year is nearly upon the nation once
again. Sunbathing on a crowded beach
will become late-night studying or
procrastination, ip ops and sandals
will be replaced by boots and jackets,
and the relative solitude of summer
adventures will make way for the daily
claustrophobic hallway treks to get to
class. Its time for the young minds of
New Hampshire to get back to work.
After months of rest and healing the
bodies of athletes are just about ready to
be back in the fray, shaping their bodies
and minds to withstand the rigors of
intense physical exertion. For many of
the veterans they have not had a chance
to experience proper competition all
summer, and the lust to win and prove
their fortitude will be obviously present.
For the younger men and women they
will look to experience high competitive
play for the first time. Their worth will
be measured by their tryouts and some
will be selected to lead the program
into the future. Many of the graduated
seniors have moved on to bigger and
better things, and the hole they leave will
be painful, but it opens the opportunity
for fresh minds to mold themselves
into the system and create something
completely unique for the sport.

School Board Moves to Begin


Resolving Technology Crisis

Last fall neither Pelham nor Windham


saw their postseason runs reach the final
goal in any sport, but the past is the
past for a reason. The present is a blank
canvas capable of exhibiting any piece
of art and only those who use the past
as fuel will find themselves successful
in the future. With a brand new season
about to be underway many of the
athletes are wiser, stronger and hungrier
than ever to put themselves and their
teammates into the immortal memories
of the school athletics history.
Last year both Windham and Pelham
forged legacies of greatness even as they
fell in their final games of the playoffs.
One missed defensive rotation may
have ended the game, but there was
still an entire season of great passes and
amazing finishes. The year may have
ended with tears being wiped away, but
for that defeat to be the lasting image
would be to ignore all of the hugs, high
fives and cheering that led up to that
moment. Last years defeat will sit in the
hearts of these young athletes and fuel
the ames of passion as they return to
the program. It will stoke and burn as
they train until the fuel runs out and then
they will find their reserves and continue
anyway. This new year has no limit or
ceiling except for that which the athletes
create for themselves and that makes any
opportunity possible.

On Aug. 9, Windhams new technology director,
Harry Bennett, advised school board members of the
dire circumstances surrounding the districts technology
infrastructure and security. One week later, on Aug. 16,
after considering Dr. Bennetts proposal, board members
voted to spend nearly a half million dollars to begin
rectifying the situation.
Bennett had told school board members that his
biggest concern was security; an issue echoed by new
superintendent, Richard Langlois, as well. According to
Bennett, the technology system had not received necessary
upgrades for the past six years; basically since Windham
High School opened its doors. Prior to Bennett taking on
the job last month, Kevin Verratti served as the director
of technology for several years. While Verratti served in
that position, school board members repeatedly asked for
information regarding technology; questions they say were
never fully answered. There also appears to have been no
accurate inventory of technology equipment. School board
members are also now asking for an accounting of where
technology money was actually spent during Verrattis
tenure.
Ever since Windham High School opened, the procedure
has been to provide each student with an Apple laptop, to
be used for the duration of his or her high school career.
Those laptops were then to be refurbished and handed
down to the eighth graders at Windham Middle School.
That process no longer works, however, as there are
currently more eighth graders than there are graduating
high school seniors. In addition, many of the used laptops
are in poor condition after four years of use.
Bennetts plan includes purchasing Hewlett-Packard
Chromebooks for all students in second, fifth and eighth
grades, as well as charging carts for the Chromebooks, to
be kept in students home classrooms overnight or when
not being used. Bennett said each low-voltage cart will
accommodate up to 36 Chromebooks, and is fast-charging.
A fully charged Chromebook can be expected to hold its
charge for about 12 hours. School board member Ken
Eyring questioned who would be responsible for assuring
that the Chromebooks are charged overnight. They
become a hindrance to education if not charged, Eyring
said, commenting that this was a recurring problem in the
past. Bennett said staff would be trained on all aspects
of using the Chromebooks. This is a very unusual, very
costly endeavor, Eyring stated, adding that there needs to
be repercussions for those who dont follow procedures
in using the equipment. Bennett said that he had recently
purchased asset management software that will track all of
the technology equipment owned by the school district.
After soliciting quotes, Bennett was able to secure a
price of only $200 per Chromebook; a substantially lesser
cost than the Apple laptops. The heavy-duty models come
with a rubberized case and carry a two-year warranty. As
the Chromebooks would be on mobile carts, it would be
possible to move them to other classrooms as needed.
Referring to the low price quoted for the Chromebooks,
Chairman Daniel Popovici-Muller said, Thats an
exceptional value! Langlois agreed. For a reasonable

price, we can keep up with advances in technology,


he said. Textbooks are being phased out. This will
put the Windham School District ahead of the curve,
Langlois said. I think we all share the excitement of
this approach, Vice Chairman Rob Breton said. It will
certainly alleviate the concerns of the past. School board
member Tom Murray noted that many times in the past,
school board members had requested information that was
never received. We need to fix the mistakes that were
made in the past, Murray said, commending Bennett and
Langlois for their expeditious efforts in working to resolve
what amounts to a technology crisis.
During the discussion of where the money would come
from to pay for the technology upgrades and Chromebooks,
the only viable option appeared to be taking funds from
the existing Capital Needs Assessment capital reserve
fund (Warrant Article 7; March 2016). We need to shufe
priorities, Popovici-Muller said, referring to the need to
spend additional money on technology, rather than other
capital needs. Popovici-Muller said that he expects to
be provided with detailed documentation as the project
moves forward. Were trying to do the right thing with
every single dollar, Popovici-Muller said. Langlois agreed,
stating, Its hard to make a decision unless evidence
is provided. We have to make sure the taxpayers
understand what is being done with the equipment we
purchase, Eyring said. There needs to be accountability
moving forward. Eyring said he feels that many of the
answers received in the past werent accurate. The district
has a history of overpaying, Eyring commented.
On the recommendation of Business Administrator
William Hickey, who also took on the job just last month,
school board members agreed to spend up to $490,000
from the Capital Needs Assessment capital reserve fund
for upgrading technology infrastructure, security needs
and purchasing a sufficient number of Chromebooks
for students in the second, fifth and eighth grades.
Temperature-controlled closets in which to store the
Chromebooks are also included in the current upgrade
plan. These closets will be put out to bid. According to
Hickey, the school districts legal counsel has given the
go-ahead for the use of these funds, stating that such a use
does meet the standards for a capital need.
School board members voted to approve the expenditure
by a vote of 4 to 0. Voting in favor were Popovici-Muller,
Breton, Murray and Eyring. School board member Dennis
Senibaldi was not in attendance at the Aug. 16 meeting.
It was also noted that, moving ahead, less classroom
space will be needed specifically for computer labs;
allowing for more diverse uses of existing space.
This past June, the purchase of 390 Apple Mac Airbooks
was approved by the school board; a number sufficient
for incoming freshmen at Windham High School, as well
as certain members of the staff. The amount approved for
the purchase totaled $331,000. According to Bennett,
however, all of these Airbooks werent ordered, but there is
a sufficient number to service the needs at this time.
Although time was allowed for public input during the
meeting, none was provided.

however, board members voted 5 to 0 to hire MacMillan as


construction manager.
Now that a construction manager is on board, it is
expected that a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) for the
construction project will be determined. The construction
manager will be collaborating closely with
members of the school boards Building
and Grounds Sub-Committee.
When the 2016-2017 school district
budget was adopted this past March, it
included $100,000 to pay for architectural
and engineering design, about half
of what is now needed. In order to
make up the $99,000 deficit, school
PLLC board members voted 5 to 0 to take the
additional needed funds from the bottom
line operating budget. We dont want
to slow down the process, Langlois said.
We need to go lightning fast!
Voting in favor of hiring the

taking funds from the bottom-line operating budget were


Chairman Daniel Popovici-Muller, Vice Chairman Rob
Breton and school board members Tom Murray, Ken Eyring
and Dennis Senibaldi. It was not decided precisely from
which line in the budget the money would be taken.
During the following meeting, on Aug. 16, however,
on the recommendation of Budget Administrator William
Hickey, it was decided to take up to $110,000 from
a capital needs assessment plan established from an
insurance rebate set aside for roof repairs at Windham
Center School, instead of from the bottom line operating
budget. After the capital reserve fund was set up, which
was a couple of years ago, it was determined that some
of the roof repairs at Center School could be delayed for
five to seven years. School board members voted 4 to 0 to
use a portion of that capital reserve fund for architectural
and engineering designs, instead. Voting in favor of the
change of purpose were Popovici-Muller, Breton, Eyring
and Murray. Senibaldi was not in attendance at the Aug.
16 meeting.

In March of 2014, the purchase of Campbell
Farm, a 64-acre parcel and historic home off
Kendall Pond Road in Windham, was approved by
the majority of voters. As a result of the two-thirds
majority vote, town officials secured a 10-year
municipal bond through Enterprise Bank. The
intent was to use current use funds to pay off the
bond over the next decade.
Earlier this month, however, on Aug. 3, the
loan balance of $582,381.21 (principal plus
accumulated interest) was paid in full with
conservation funds, resulting in a projected
savings of $9,375 in interest for 2016 and an
additional $106,593.73 in interest between
2017 and 2024. This was a very smart move,

Preparing
for fall
sports
season
Summer is a season of
relaxation, especially for
school-aged children who
are not yet old enough to
work. Such youngsters no
doubt enjoy the chance to
spend summer days lounging
poolside or at the beach, all
without a care in the world or
any homework to complete.
Though summer is
synonymous with R&R,
parents of young athletes who
hope to compete in scholastic
athletics when the school year
begins in autumn may need to
take steps to ensure their kids
arent at risk of injury once the
curtain comes up on fall sports
season.
Examine and replace
equipment if necessary. The
right equipment can protect
kids from injury and help
them realize their full athletic
potential. But damaged or
outdated equipment can
increase kids risk of injury.
Examine kids equipment
long before fall sports season
begins so you have time to
bargain hunt should anything
need to be replaced.
Schedule a physical for
your child. Many school
districts mandate that athletes
receive and pass physicals
before they can compete.
Let kids heal. Kids schedules
are busier than ever before,
and many youngsters play
several sports during the
school year. Summer vacation
may be the only extended
period all year that youngsters
bodies get to heal. While
its important that kids stay
physically active throughout
the summer, make sure they
dont overdo it, as you should
emphasize the importance of
rest.

A+ Ideas for
Supporting
Classroom Learning
(BPT) - Proud
parents across
the country are
watching their
children head
back to the
classroom for
another exciting
school year. The
knowledge they
gain in class will
help set them on
a path to success.
However, learning shouldnt stop
when the school
bell rings at the end of the day.
Education should be a driving factor of family life,
says Michelle Cote, founder of Bricks 4 Kidz, an awardwinning summer camp and after-school program. Parents
hold the key to a childs success by supporting classroom
learning and extending educational efforts to the home and
beyond.
Cote offers simple ideas for parents to help support
school lessons and instill a lifelong love of learning in their
children.
Know the teacher: Teachers spend as much time in a
week with your kids as you do. Build a relationship with
them by sending check-in emails, attending conferences
and volunteering. Be proactive about asking where your
child excels and what areas they may need additional
help.
Facilitate homework: Encourage good study habits by
creating a comfortable homework space with adequate
supplies and few distractions. Be an active partner in your
childs homework and assist when needed. Brainstorm
project ideas, answer questions and quiz kids before tests.
Practice school lessons: With a fun, no-pressure approach, go over what your children learn in school. Have a
conversation each day about what they learned, liked and
loathed. Then go over important lessons to help your child
better understand the material.
Connect lessons to life: One of the best ways to help
kids understand classroom lessons is to connect the
material to everyday experiences. Practice fractions while
cooking. Chat about biology while gardening. Head to
Register online, by phone, or stop in!
the beach to talk about marine habitats and why the tide
changes.
Ages 2 - Adult
Choose enriching activities: Select after-school activities that emphasize cognitive development while building
self-esteem in a fun environment. For example, Bricks 4
Kidz uses relatable tools like LEGO Bricks to teach science,
technology, engineering and math (STEM) skills. Learn
more at www.bricks4kidz.com.
Positive attitude: Kids will mirror your attitude toward
school, homework and teachers. Stay positive and model
resilience during difficult times. Show kids how youre

working to improve your own education, whether that be a
career certification or a cooking
class.
Read together: Reading together is a great way to bond and
show joy for the written word.
Read the same books your child

Encourage active learning:

The first is to make sure kids

Thumbs Up?

Thumbs Down?

Comments expressed in this column are the sole views of those callers and do not reflect the views of the Pelham~Windham News or its advertisers. Town and school officials encourage
readers to seek out assistance directly to resolve any problems or issues. The Pelham~Windham News editorial staff holds the right to refuse any comment deemed inappropriate.

Taking a Strictly Thumbs Up Approach


Effective with the first issue in September, Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down will no longer include negative comments. Instead, the section will become exclusively Thumbs Up. Thumbs Down comments will not
be published. As with everything in this world, a few people can affect everyone. Sadly, some people call in to the paper with very negative thumbs upwards of 10 to 12 times a week.
So, as a trial, our newspapers in September and October will only include the positive comments in an effort to boost the morale of our readers, rather than printing words that are meant to tear others down. If
you have a true concern, submit a Letter to the Editor with your name attached. Since 2000, as the publisher, I have accepted negative thumbs as a forum for disenfranchised people, but many contributors have
worn me down with their constant and mean-spirited commentary. Now we will take a positive approach and emphasize the good that is all around us but often goes unnoticed. Take a moment to submit your
own kind words and make someone elses day a little brighter.

Last week he became the only 2016 governors
candidate endorsed by that organization. He is
also the only aspirant from either party to release
a detailed plan for New Hampshire families
on policies ranging from increasing the state
minimum wage and paid family leave to bringing
more girls and women into STEM fields and
cracking down on campus violence. Colin would
be an excellent successor to outgoing Governor
Maggie Hassan and thoroughly deserves our
consideration.
Thumbs down. It is a disappointing fact that
the officials in town of Pelham let the developers
clear cut the property between Mammoth Road
and Bush Hill Road. Some of the trees cut were
on town property. Dont they believe in global
warming and what the effects of this clear cut will
create?
Thumbs up to the Pelham Fire Department and
Lieutenant Horn for putting on great CPR training
at the Fire Station. Thank you for this much
needed service.
Thumbs down to Pelham. With three lakes in
town and not one boat ramp for residents to use.
Lots of people have boats in this town and there is
not a single ramp for us to use. Something needs
to be done about this soon.
Thumbs down to both Pelham and Windham
for allowing the destruction of the rural
seclusion that many residents moved here for.
Its absolutely diabolical how town officials are
allowing valuable forests around these towns
to be transformed into overpriced, obnoxious
houses that cater only to the financially wealthy
homebuyer. We all know that you officials only
allow this activity because it provides increased
tax revenue that you can illegitimately fill your
dirty pockets with. Pretty soon these towns will
be overpopulated and resemble the nasty cities
that we all moved away from in the first place.
Wont that be thrilling?

As the dog days of August are winding down, school is
right around the corner. This also means that fall sports
teams are soon to begin their seasons, and the case holds for
Pelham High School. The PHS teams are looking to build
upon last years high points and look to improve upon the
tough patches. Some of the teams at PHS are moving up
from Division 3 to Division 2 with others staying at the D2
level. This will be a task in its own right for those competing
in D2 now. These include boys and girls soccer making
the jump to D2 for the fall teams. Football, volleyball,
boys and girls cross country, and fall spirit are all already
in the Division 2 ranks. To preview what these teams plan
on doing this year, it is essential to recap what they did last
season.
Girls Soccer Head Coach Jon Hall is working hard
towards preparing his team for the move to D2 and
looks forward to the difficult challenge ahead. The team
finished 8-9 last campaign falling to Raymond in the
state tournament 3-1. The squad looks to build upon last
season with senior, captain Morgan Walsh ready to lead
the charge, viewed as one of the best midfielders in NH.
Lindsey Niemaszyk is another senior who will be a returning
starter as well. The team has a number of other talented
players too: juniors Keira Garrett, Madison Burke, Brittany
Ducharme, Emma Custeau, Amira Eid, Brianna Trudel, and
Erin Paradis. In addition, a few strong sophomores in Olivia
Gagnon and Grace Harvey will be back again, along with
two newcomers, Ava Owens and Jocelyn Correa.
As with the girls, the boys soccer team is also excited for
the anticipated challenge that every team will pose each
night now a part of Division 2. Coach Matt Miller is hoping
this season the squad finishes somewhere in the middle of
the standings culminating in a deep playoff run. The team
ended last year at nine wins and 10 losses, similar to the
girls record. Unfortunately, they received an exit at the
hands of Gilford in the quarter-finals in a 2-1 final score.
A great sign for this upcoming season
though, has to be the teams first two
postseason games in victories against
the reigning champs, Sanborn and the
number 2 seed Prospect Mountain to
get to the quarter-finals.
In the first Preliminary Round they
were able to take down Sanborn HS
3-1 gaining the right to travel to number
2 seeded Prospect Mountain. After
the long journey up to Alton the boys
were ready to play notching a 2-0 lead
at half-time. The lead came primarily
on the back of captain and upcoming
senior Victor Romeos offense and
rising junior Sean Gellars exquisite
goalkeeping. They would go on to win

2-1. Gellar tallied 20 saves in the game to keep the Pythons


playoff hopes alive.
A few days later the boys traveled to Gilford for their
quarter-final matchup. The squad played an excellent
first half grabbing a 1-0 lead. Unfortunately, they were
unable to hold on to it in the second half despite some very
strong attacking play and effort throughout. The squad has
seven returning starters, six returning lettermen, and five
newcomers to varsity.
Meanwhile, girls cross country will remain in Division 2
despite a tough season, but looks to improve upon it. Coach
Steve Charbonneau feels the team is ready to turn the page
and looks forward to the 2016 season. Juniors Hannah
Flynn and Caroline Joncas will be looked at to provide the
necessary leadership to get the team back on track, and
make this year a successful one.
Charbonneau says, We lost some valuable team
members from last year due to graduation, while their talent
and leadership will be missed I look forward to see how the
team will step up and fill the gap they left.
In contrast, the boys cross country team had a pretty
successful season finishing seventh in Division 2. Coach
Dave Niemaszyk brings back another strong team returning
his top four runners. This should be another good year for
boys cross country.
The Pelham Pythons golf team finished sixth in the state
for Division 3, a very successful season for sure. Coach Joe
Vaiknoras has all of his players returning except for one.
Kyle Surprenant and Kyle Frank will provide the senior
leadership the rest of the team will look up to this season.
Vaiknoras expects sophomore Ian Morganstern and junior
Eric Hardy to step up with JT Hodge, Pat Milestone, Liam
Haskens, Ethan Joncas and Bobby Charette to also play key
roles. The teams goal is to finish in the top five this year and
looks to build upon a great mark of 18-4 in 2015.
Additionally, fall spirit has a strong chance of competing
for the cheer title in D2. John Letendre coaches the squad
which is ready to improve upon an already incredible year
last season with runner-up finishes in the fall and winter.
The team captured 6th at the New England Championships
in the winter too.
Likewise, field hockey had one of the best seasons of the
fall sports with an 11 wins and three losses campaign last
year. They made it to the postseason, but dropped a 1-0
heartbreaker to Bow in the first round. The team is returning
11 seniors with top goal scorers Sarah Morin and Shannon
Weisensee and sophomore goalie Ryan Atkins ready to take
the squad to bigger heights and contend for a title. Emily
Bevens and Lilly Shilmon will be back as core midfielders
too with a solid defensive line made up of Abby Gagnon,
Sarah Ratcliffe, and Abigail Joncas as well. Lauren DiRenzo
and Michaela Galvin will both be in their first seasons cocoaching junior varsity and varsity field hockey together, the
two are educators at PES.
For football they are just
looking to turn the page and begin
a fresh start after their winless 0-8
season a year ago. Thats where
Tom Babaian comes in as he starts
his new campaign as the teams
head coach, although, he will be
in his second stint as he coached
here for 15 years from 1996-2011.
Last season Babaian was the
defensive coordinator at Nashua
South.
Furthermore, volleyball
coached by Jen Nugent had a
young squad last year and it
showed in their 4-12 record.
But, the players worked very
hard and learned many lessons
throughout the season. They
did earn a postseason berth, but
were bounced in the preliminary
round. The team lost their
starting middle blocker in Senior
All-star Amanda Olson, to
graduation. This year, seniors
Mikayla Sequeira, outside hitter,
and Angela Getty, libero will
lead the attack. In addition,
outside hitter Cheyenne Lee and
middle blockers Danielle Sirois
commercial residential
and Terryn Brunelle will look to
make a big impact at the net,
