The Baptist Haiti Mission has been in Fermathe for about 50 years, initially helping

local farmers with terrace-farming techniques to prevent erosion on the steep hillsides.
They have expanded their aid to include a hospital with numerous clinics (including
womens health and vision clinics) as well as training and employment opportunities
with a plant nursery, gift shop and an American-food restaurant popular with
missionaries and tourists. The mission also helps hundreds of small, local churches
and schools scattered over the hilly terrain.
Each day we loaded into what I would call a farm truck a high-
axled truck with a low-sided bed and a steel frame to hold as we
stood in the back. We started off on the main road and moved down
into the valley a bit then onto the local roads that quickly dwindled
to what seemed to be a loosely scattered collection of rocks which
were alternatingly traversing either up or down always steeply.
We were at two different work sites. Six of us would help the
masons and a translator to build the home chosen by the local
churches. Everything had to be brought to the site, including water
to drink and to mix the concrete. The cinder block, two-room home
was tted with a metal roof and wooden shutters and a door for the
openings. There is no electricity or water in the area, so nishing off
the two-room home was complete with the nal smoothing of the
stucco inside and out.

On July 23, in the dark, wee hours of the
morning, 13 teens and three chaperones loaded
bags, backpacks and suitcases to head to Logan
Airport; destination: Haiti. Aaron Stetson, youth
pastor at Windham Presbyterian Church, had been
planning the trip for well over a year.
We all knew where we were headed the Baptist
Haiti Mission in Fermathe, Haiti. Aarons parents
had been there for over a year, so Aaron had visited
the mission and brought back stories and pictures.
We were going to help build a house we had
raised funds for and to help with a Vacation Bible
School for 100 kids. But, we didnt really know
what we were in for. Many of the crew had
not been out of the country, and only a few to
a third world country. For some, this was their
rst mission trip. For Aaron, this would be his
rst international trip as the leader of a youth
mission team. Our passports were in order,
shots endured and our rst malaria pills taken.
In light of the recent chikungunya outbreak,
we were armed with 99 percent DEET and
mosquito nets. We were as prepared as we
could be and it was time to leave.

School Board Finds Charter School Application Incomplete
by Barbara OBrien
By a vote of 4 to 1, Windham School Board
members found the application for the proposed
charter school incomplete and, therefore,
disapproved and denied the request from the
Educational Choices Foundation.
What was slated to be a 90-minute discussion
on September 2, turned into another late night
marathon; with the decision to deny the application
for Windham Academy coming just before
midnight. Voting in favor of denying the application
for the locally funded charter school were
Chairman Jerome Rekart, Vice-chairman Dennis
Senibaldi and school board members Rob Breton
and Michael Joanis. The only vote in opposition
of denying the application was from school board
member Ken Eyring, who had been supportive of
the concept from the beginning.
The application requesting local school district
approval for a charter school was presented to
the school board by ECF members on July 1. By
state statute, the school board was required to
reach a decision and notify the New Hampshire
Department of Education of the reason for that
decision, in writing, no later than September
15. The main reasons for the vote to deny the
application included a lack of sufcient nancial
information, demonstrating the impact of the
charter school on taxpayers; insufcient information
regarding educational standards and accountability;
and how any potential surplus funds at the end of
each school year would be handled.
The Educational Choices Foundation had two
options when it decided to propose a charter
school. It could have either requested approval
from the local school board or gone directly to
the State Department of Education. ECF members
said they chose the local route so that Windham
students would be given priority during enrollment.
Windham Academy would also be open to students
from other communities.
Following a lengthy discussion on the need
for more specic details regarding educational
standards and accountability, a topic that was
brought up during several earlier meetings, school
board member Michael Joanis raised the issue
of the nancial impact of the proposed charter
school. Based on calculations presented by SAU
95 Business Administrator Adam Steel, Joanis said
the impact on taxpayers would involve signicant
dollars; an amount totaling approximately $6.2
million over the life of the proposed ve-year
contract between Windham Academy and the
Windham School District. Chairman Rekart
agreed that the cost to the school district could
be signicant. Rekart said he presented Steels
calculations to two different certied public
accountants and was told that the impact could be
about 67 cents per one thousand dollars on the tax
rate.
Board member Dennis Senibaldi also expressed
concern about the cost to taxpayers, saying, This
is where Im stuck. Calling the potential nancial
impact the elephant in the room, Senibaldi said
he trusted Steels calculations. Senibaldi said he,
too, believes the proposed charter school would
result in increased taxes. I have to go with Adams
numbers, he said.
Ken Eyring said he wasnt as convinced of
the validity of Steels calculations as Senibaldi
was. Nobody on the ECF wants to see the tax
rate increase, either, Eyring said, adding that he
feels it would be unwise to pull the plug on the
proposal, at this point. It would behoove us to
let the process unfold to the next level, Eyring
commented.

Mission Trip to Haiti
submitted by Sarah Vignos
(a WHS student who went on Windham Presbyterians Mission to Haiti)
Self-re ection is one of the most important activities that humans should practice in life.
Self-re ection is the ability to look back and analyze past events, interactions, plans and
results, and be able to formulate an opinion on them. This requires time alone without
distractions.
Re ection is important because it allows us to see where we need to make changes in
our lives such as; reprioritizing our time, money, and effort; setting goals and realigning our
behaviors to them; and being able to focus and strengthen our faith, prayers and morals.
Without self-re ection, you may not be able to recognize your strengths and weaknesses and
properly address them. For example, you could be ignoring a friend or being rude to them,
but you havent noticed because you dont leave time for yourself to think. Personally, with
over 20 hours of gymnastics a week and a challenging school load last year, I was unable to
spend time with my family, which is what is most important to me. My relationships with my
sister, mother, and father had distanced a bit and I also wasnt able to discuss how their lives
were going. It is extremely important to stop, be still, and think once in a while.
Kids and teenagers dont seem to practice self-re ection, perhaps because they have
very chaotic schedules. From age 6 to about 18, and even further on, kids have fun or
constructive activities that ll their time such as sports, theatre, clubs, boy/girl scouts, music
lessons, etc. On the limited occasions that these teenagers have down time, constant
electronics, mindless social media, and egotistical sel es seem to take priority. Sometimes,
social media takes over the sleeping time they have, which leads to irritability and possibly
sickness. Growing up like this, a child doesnt understand the importance of slowing down,
journaling, praying, having alone time, and re ecting. This may also be due to the fact that
their parents have not taught them this important practice. In fact, the parents may be so
busy with work and other things that they dont practice it themselves.
This past summer, I was able to experience the true effects of slowing down and really
focusing on my faith and myself. As I traveled to Haiti in late July, free time was ever-
present. This time re ecting and journaling allowed me to focus and deepen my spirituality
and work on improving myself. Being in Haiti really changed my outlook on life and
opinion of our lifestyle here in the United States. Despite the Haitians being extremely poor
when it came to homes and material goods, the kids there were extremely happy. The pure
joy the children and people along the streets displayed towards my team and me was not
what I experience in Windham. There was a sense of real community and ful llment there.
I believe that this is because of their laid-back schedules and how their culture is focused
around faith and helping others, not around material goods.
Where would you rather live: in a place that is rich in love, hope, faith, and happiness
but lacking in material wealth, or in a place where happiness is dependent on money
and materials items, and people dont appreciate the natural things in life or the people
around them? Being in a clear-minded environment helped me to realize the falsehood
that materialism leads to happiness, the danger of busyness, and the necessity of downtime,
alone time, and self-re ection. I think the world would be a better and happier place if
everyone were to practice these healthy habits.

PHS Renovation Project: August Update
by Barbara OBrien
Windhams long-time tax assessor has given notice that he will
retire from that position as of the end of this year. Rex Norman,
also a Windham resident, has been on the job for the past 15 years.
Not only were town ofcials sorry to receive Normans letter of
intent to retire, but they are also having to deal with how best to
ll the position being vacated. The question that was raised was
whether or not to ll the existing position with a new employee or
to contract with an outside consultant. Town Administrator David
Sullivan said it was his preference that the position remain in-house
and someone be hired to ll the vacancy.
After minimal discussion, selectmen agreed unanimously (5 to
0) to hire someone to ll the vacancy being left by Norman. They
also want that person to be hired and on the job before Norman
takes leave of his duties. Hopes are that a new individual can be
on the job beginning October 1, so that he or she can work hand
in hand with Norman.
Advertising for the upcoming vacancy is already underway.
Voting in favor of the motion to hire a new tax assessor were
Chairman Ross McLeod, Vice-chairman Al Letizio, Jr., and
Selectmen Roger Hohenberger, Joel Desilets and Bruce Breton.
submitted by Amanda Lecaroz, Superintendent of Schools, Pelham
After a July that saw the initial ground breaking as well as major
site work on a new parking lot and septic system, August came
with many developments and the start of the new school year. The
Pelham Police and Fire departments approved the trafc ow and
site security plans, and the paving of the new parking lot and bus
loop began.
In its continued quest to comply with building codes and make
the renovation project as efcient and successful as possible, the
Project Management Team worked diligently to put the nishing
touches on the
architectural
design. A
signicant
event in this
process was the
determination
that the current
ramps at PHS
did not meet code after the renovation and that the ramps either
needed to be removed or extended. Whenever a structure is
renovated, it must meet the current building and safety standards.
As a result of this new development, the Project Management Team
decided to remove both large ramps at PHS because the impact
and cost of extending them was prohibitive. The cost to extend was
signicant due to necessary structural support changes that would
be required and extending them would disrupt the current main
oor layout. As a result, an elevator will now be installed next to
the cafeteria that will have three stops: bottom oor (cafeteria and
gym oor), main oor, and top oor (upstairs in what is referred to
as the mezzanine).
With site work in full swing, the start of school was
very successful and students, parents, staff, and others are
thanked for their continued patience and cooperation. For

projected timelines, and other pertinent information, visit

Windham Fireghters Participate in
Fill the Boot Drive and Operation Warm
by Barbara OBrien
Fireghters are known for their devotion
to the communities in which they serve, and
Windham is no exception. The weekend
of August 23 and 24 is a prime example
of this dedication. As they have done for
many years, members of the Windham
Fire Department and their families spent
hours collecting donations for the Muscular
Dystrophy Associations annual Fill the Boot
Drive.
Windham Fire Chief Tom McPherson
said local reghters collected more than
$3,300, in two days, by standing near the
entrance/exit at Klemms Mobil-on-the
Run and McDonalds Restaurant off Range
Road. As trafc came through the area,
drivers were offered the chance to deposit
donations in one of the reghters boots. All
money collected will be used to help New
Hampshire residents aficted with muscular
dystrophy and other neuromuscular diseases.
The Muscular Dystrophy Association is a non-
prot organization dedicated to nding a cure
for neuromuscular diseases. The International
Fireghters Fill the Boot campaign celebrates its
60th anniversary this year, having been started in
South Boston, Massachusetts, in 1954. Millions
of dollars have been collected nationwide since
that time.
Chief McPherson expressed the re
departments appreciation to two local businesses,
Klemms Mobil and McDonalds, for their
hospitality in hosting the annual event. We
couldnt have done it without them, McPherson
said.
Windhams Professional Fireghters Union
is also participating in Operation Warm, a
statewide fundraiser geared to make sure needy
New Hampshire children brand-new winter coats
this year. A donation of $34 will assure that a
child, who might otherwise do without a warm
coat this coming winter, will be provided for.
Theyll be getting a brand-new coat they can
call their own, McPherson said, adding that each
child will receive a coat that is made to t them,
in a color they choose, not a hand-me-down from
someone else. As an added bonus, each coat is
made in America.
According to Chief McPherson, some 43,000
children live in poverty in New Hampshire.
Statewide, reghters hope to provide new coats
to about 4,000 children or about 10 percent of
those living in poverty. Donations of any amount
are welcome. Donations may be made online at
pffnh.org.
Also, on Thursday, September 11, the Windham
Fire Department will be conducting its annual
Remembrance Ceremony of 9/11. The ceremony
will be held at the re department on Fellows
Road, beginning at 8:30 a.m. The public is
welcome and encouraged to attend.
Windham frefghters and their family members participated in the annual Muscular Dystrophy Associations Fill the Boot
Drive, held August 23 and 24. Local frefghters collected more than $3,300 to beneft the cause. Tanking those who
donated are (from left) Shane Butters, Matt McPherson and Lieutenant Jim Brown.

Another Veteran Supports
Estevez for State Rep
To all those people that are still undecided about who
they will be voting for in the upcoming election for state
representative, I found your candidate.
Eric Estevez is a smart, hardworking and honest young
man. He is from New Hampshire and knows what issues are
important because he is one of us. He has the educational
credentials and professional experience to create jobs, cut taxes,
and provide more local aid to our community in order to help
lower the tax rate for working families. Eric will also never
turn his back on us veterans.
As a disabled American veteran of this country, having
served as a combat veteran in Vietnam, I know too well the
consequences of politics as usual. Like many other veterans of
my generation, I have had to struggle to adjust to civilian life
and receive veterans benefts for my service related injuries.
Eric Estevez helped me get my veterans benefts. Although
I could not aford professional help, Eric had the compassion
to help me free of charge. Te generosity of Eric Estevez has
also touched the lives of many other veterans that I know. Eric
understands the sacrifces that veterans and their families make
because his brother is an ofcer in the U.S. Army who served
in both Iraq and Afghanistan. He also lost a good friend from
his hometown in Pelham, NH during the war in Iraq.
I will be doing everything that I can to help get Eric Estevez
elected. Te people of Pelham and Hudson should get to
know him personally and they will love him. He will give you
the outstanding representation you deserve. I respectfully ask
my fellow veterans, their friends, and their families to vote for
Eric Estevez for state representative on Tuesday, September 9.
Joseph Amore, Methuen, MA
Endorsing Jordan Ulery
I am writing to support the candidacy of Representative
Jordan Ulery of Hudson. He has served very well in the NH
House for a number of years and needs to continue his good
work there.
He is a local businessman and understands the need for
accountability and efciency in local government from real
world experience.
Raising taxes and fees in this economy seems not to be
a very good solution to budget problems when citizens are
having to pay more for food and other items in their personal
budgets. How about looking for more accountability and
efciency in government? Some great ideas can (should) wait
for a better economy.
Government, state and federal, cannot do everything that
they want today and should concentrate more on what the
people need.
Dr. Kenneth Arndt, Windham
Why your Property Tax is
Hundreds of $$$ too High
Te state is under-funding Windham schools by nearly
three million dollars per year. Tat shortfall represents about 6
percent of the entire $46 million dollar budget for our school
district.
If those numbers are too abstract to recognize the real life
impact to you, I want to simplify it and make it clear how
much more you are paying in property tax to make up for what
the state is not giving us. You are paying almost $500 extra
if your home is assessed at $350,000. If your home is worth
more or less, multiply the total assessed value (in thousands) by
1.4 to see how much you are paying to make up for what the
state is not giving Windham.
Why is Windham not receiving its fair share of school
funding from the state? Te legislature passed a law that
changed the formula for calculating the cost of an adequate
education and imposed a cap on increases in state funding no
matter how many more students enroll in a school district.
Windham was one of the fastest growing towns in the state
over the last decade. Naturally, this increase in population
resulted in greater student enrollment in Windham schools.
However, regardless of how many more students we need to
educate or what the cost is for providing an adequate education
according to the states formula, the amount the state will pay
in additional school funding is subject to an arbitrary cap.
Amazingly, other towns with declining enrollment continue
to receive the amount of funding they qualifed for when they
had more students, while growing towns like Windham are
shortchanged because of the cap. Tis senseless policy is unfair
and should be changed so every city and towns state funding
for education is based on the real costs of the actual number of
students they are educating.
My name is David Bates and I am running for re-election as
one of Windhams state representatives so I can work towards
efecting that change. My leadership experience and proven
record of efectiveness in the House of Representatives are what
is needed to pursue a goal as complicated and challenging as
revising the state law on funding for an adequate education.
Tere are few, if any, other state issues that impact
Windham to the magnitude that the education funding
formula is having on our town. If you would like me to work
to get Windham all the education funding we deserve, vote for
David Bates next Tuesday, September 9.
For more information, please visit ElectDaveBates.com or
call 894-6987.

Our First Votes are
Going to Foley
Te September 9 Republican Primary will be the frst
election in which we, as 18 year olds, can participate. We
are excited for this and will be casting our frst votes for our
neighbor and friend, Jim Foley. As you have probably seen
by all of the signs, Jim is a Republican running for State
Senate. Weve known Jim as a neighbor and friend since we
moved to Derry 10-plus years ago. We know that he means
what he says about rebuilding the economy by creating
good jobs we know this because Jim gave us our frst jobs...
babysitting his two cats Rufus and India, along with house-
sitting. We know Jim to be a kind and caring person to our
family and the community. Jim is a very thoughtful person
and understands that the jobs we need to start our careers
after we fnish college just arent there. It is scary to be a
young person not having the opportunity our parents have
had because of a bad economy. We know Jim will do whatever
he can to change this. Jim is a businessman and he owns a
small business. Tats a good start for going to Concord to
help make the economy better. He is a commissioned ofcer
in the United States Marine Corps where he has been a leader
and served our country with honor and integrity ...
Please join us and the rest of the Davison family in voting
for Jim Foley on Tuesday, September 9.
Meghan Davison and Abbey Davison, Derry
Small Business Owner
Ofers his Endorsement
Eric Estevez is the best choice for state representative for us
small business owners.
As a small business owner, I saw frsthand the efects taxes,
regulations, and the disaster of Obama care. Businesses are
forced to adhere to unfair big government policies that prevent
both proft and hiring. New Hampshire is now competing
with other states for venture/angel capital and high-tech and
advanced manufacturing jobs. Tese are the high-paying
careers. Unfortunately, New Hampshire is losing young people
and the jobs are going elsewhere because of the current anti
small business policies in the state.
Eric Estevez has the educational credentials, professional
experience working in the United States Small Business
Administration, as a college professor, fdelity investments,
and consulting. Above all, he has the best plan to help small
business owners. I know Eric Estevez is committed to helping
get New Hampshires economy moving again.
I respectfully ask that the voters in Pelham and Hudson cast
their vote for Eric Estevez for state representative on Tuesday
September 9.

National Education Expert
Dr. Stotsky Comes to Windham
At last nights WSB meeting, the Educational Choices
Foundation (the Windham Academy folks) announced they
will host an event for Dr. Sandra Stotsky, one of the nations
most recognized educational experts on standards and
curriculum. It will be held on Friday, September 5, at 7 p.m.
at the Windham Town Hall and they invited all Windham
residents to join them.
Tis is quite an honor and opportunity for our town,
as there are not many people that understand educational
standards, curricula and their impacts on our children as well
as Dr. Stotsky. I am looking forward to meeting her, and hope
that all Windham parents and residents will take advantage of
this rare opportunity.
Having served on the Common Core Validation
Committee, Dr. Stotsky is an expert on Common Core (the
standards that are implemented in our Windham Schools).
As a School Board Member, I am looking forward to learning
as much as possible from Dr. Stotsky so that I can better
understand the curriculum that is provided to our children.
I encourage everyone - especially parents - to attend and
engage in questions and answers with Dr. Stotsky to learn more
about our Windham education system.
Here is an excerpt from Dr. Stotskys bio:
Sandra Stotsky is professor of education emerita at the
University of Arkansas, where she held the 21st Century
Chair in Teacher Quality. She served as Senior Associate
Commissioner at the Massachusetts Department of Elementary
and Secondary Education from 1999-2003, where she was in
charge of developing or revising all the states K-12 standards,
teacher licensure tests, and teacher and administrator
licensure regulations. She served on the Massachusetts Board
of Elementary and Secondary Education from 2006-2010
(appointed by then Governor Mitt Romney), on the National
Mathematics Advisory Panel (appointed by Secretary of
Education Margaret Spellings), from 2006-2008, and on
the Common Core Validation Committee (recommended
by Massachusetts Commissioner of Education Mitchell
Chester), from 2009-2010. She was one of the fve members
of the Validation Committee who would not sign of on the
standards as being internationally benchmarked, rigorous, or
research-based. She was also editor of the premier research
journal, Research in the Teaching of English, published by the
National Council of Teachers of English, from 1991 to 1997.
She has published
extensively in
professional
journals and
written several
books.
I hope to see
you then.

Congratulations to
Rory OConnor
Mr. Rory OConnor was appointed by the Windham
School Board (WSB) to be the next principal of Golden
Brook School by a vote of 4-1. I cast the lone dissenting
vote, but this in no way refects a lack of support for Mr.
OConnor. My decision to vote No would have been
the same for any candidate, had they been ofered the same
benefts package that was ofered to Mr. OConnor. I made
this clear to him before the meeting, again before I cast my
vote, and again immediately afterward when I shook his
hand to congratulate him. I look forward to watching him
excel in his new position.
Some of the decisions I have made while on the School
Board have not been easy, and this was one of them. But I
could not in good conscience, support the administrations
position of paying 100 percent of the healthcare and dental
insurance costs for any new employee which is what Mr.
OConnors benefts package includes. I made my concerns
regarding employee healthcare contributions very clear to
the Administration, prior to Mr. OConnors contract being
proposed. Watch the end of the meeting when we took the
vote, and you will see that I was not alone.
Last night, some of my fellow board members publicly
stated that Mr. OConnors appointment is now tainted
because we did not produce a unanimous vote. I disagree.
Our obligation as board members is to the Windham
community, and we must never go along to get along. If we
do, it will be the School Board that is tainted.
No one spoke in opposition to Mr. OConnor. No one.
He left last night with the full support of the board, the
administration and those in attendance. My heartfelt best
wishes go out to Mr. OConnor for a long and successful
tenure as Principal of Golden Brook School.
Ken Eyring, Windham School Board Member, Windham
Joanne Flynn:
Well-deserved Recognition
Congratulations to Joanne Flynn on being selected as the
Greater Salem Chamber of Commerces 2014 William A.
Brown Distinguished Businessperson Award winner. It is an
outstanding honor for a person who has put her community
frst and given back so much.
I frst met Joanne several years ago at a forum she held
for Senator Jim Rausch at the Windham Country Club.
Not only was the food, service and facility impeccable
but Joannes insights on business in New Hampshire were
invaluable.
Early on in my campaign for State Senate I took the
advice of Senators Klemm, Letourneau and Rausch to rely
on Joanne for advice - her thinking and ideas on the issues
facing our towns has helped my understanding and approach
to work to resolve them.
Good job, Joanne - a well deserved recognition to an
exceptional person.

Get Educated on Common
Core; Stop by Sept. 5
If you have children in the Windham school system
you must know about Common Core. If you dont, then
consider attending the September 5 (Friday) presentation by
Dr. Sandra Stotsky at 7 p.m. at the Windham Town Hall.
She will share with you her immense knowledge regarding
the curriculum and standards imposed upon the educational
system by Common Core criteria.
If you dont know who Dr. Stotsky is, then do a Google
search and you will quickly see that her credentials are
impeccable. You will also see that she was on the Common
Core Validation Committee and she refused to sign of on
the Common Core Standards.
Last year after the school district held a meeting to
discuss the Common Core Curriculum, there were many
unanswered questions that remain unanswered. Dr Stotsky
is an expert who has the answers. Attend the meeting and
learn about the diferent types of education that are available
for your child and the students of the Windham School
system.
Te Educational Choices Foundation just announced that
they are being advised by Dr. Sandra Stotsky regarding the
curriculum and standards that will be used at the Windham
Academy Charter School. Tat is big news for our town and
the education of our children!
Get educated and then get involved.

for check out to go along with the topic. Whats
the connection between Legos and books, you
ask? A recent study by Dorothy Singer, a senior
research scientist at Yale Universitys Department
of Psychology and Child Study Center states
Promoting play contributes to early literacy
development by increasing attention span,
memory, creativity, and language and vocabulary
skills. It also lays the foundation for logical
mathematical thinking, scientic reasoning, and
problem solving - things theyll carry with them
throughout their school years. Lego building
certainly does all of these things for children! So
call or stop by today to get your childs
name of the list as we are keeping our

on a fall weekend, especially if you visit Canobie
Lake Park. Canobie is open each weekend during

that is unrivaled in New England.

rides including the parks wild roller coaster,
Untamed as well as a variety of family and

Gold Award Project Aimed at Encouraging More Time Outdoors
submitted by Mary Hammar
As I have learned over my year-long
journey to earning the Girl Scout Gold
Award, most people are unfamiliar
with this prestigious honor. Similar in
rank to the Eagle Scout award in Boy
Scouting, the Gold Award is the greatest
achievement a Girl Scout can earn. In
order to be presented with this
award, there are several criteria that
girls must meet. First, girls must
identify an issue in their community.
Then, they must take action to
come up with a lasting solution to
the issue that will result in lasting
change to the community. In other
words, the project must be able to
continue to affect the community
long after the projects completion.
Also, the project must have ties
to a national or global issue. For
instance, cleaning up a nature trail
could be linked with the national
and global issue of pollution.
Finally, the project must take a
minimum of 80 hours to complete.
For my Gold Award project, I
chose to encourage the community
to spend more time outdoors by
introducing some much-needed
shade to the under-utilized patio
space at the Pelham Public Library.
Previously, the patio was in direct
sun for a good part of the day,
making the space an uncomfortable
place to be in warmer weather. This
was especially a problem in the
summer months, when the library
hosts special events outside as part
of their annual Summer Reading
program. In order to change this,
I organized the construction of a
pergola over the patio and compiled
a book of numerous games,
crafts, and activities that could be
done outside on the patio area. I
anticipate that, with the addition
of the pergola, the patio will be
transformed into an inviting, peaceful
area that the community is more
eager to use. I envision the space
as being a great place to relax, read,
or study, as well as a great place to
host a multitude of
wonderful library
programs. My
intent is for the
activities book to
serve as a guide for
the library staff to
help plan outdoor
programs that will
teach patrons how
fun going outside
can be. My hope
is that patrons will
be inspired by the
programs to unplug
from their devices
and try more outdoor
projects.
I believe that in
this day and age,
spending time outdoors has
become a struggle for many
people. As technology continues
to develop in the world, people
have developed more and more
excuses for staying indoors.
Unfortunately, this means that
some people are spending less
time outside than they used
to. Some parents struggle to get
their kids to put down the iPad
while others wish their children
would put down the video game
controller. Many teens and adults
alike have fallen victim to cell
phone addiction, feeling the need
to constantly be informed by scanning the news feed every few
minutes and/or updating their Twitter constantly. The result being
that many people are spending more time staring at a screen than
getting fresh air. This is unfortunate because nature offers a wealth of
benets, ranging from stress relief to better vision to a richer supply
of nutrients. I hope that by completing my Gold Award project, I
will inspire the community to work harder at making time to escape
outdoors to fuel a healthy life style and gain a better sense of well-
being.
Completing this project has been a very empowering experience
in which I have learned several important life skills. The most
important value I have learned is that some things do not have to
be undertaken alone. Throughout this journey, I have received
more support than I could have ever imagined. All I had to do
was mention to my troop leaders that I wanted to go for gold,
and I suddenly had my whole troop behind me, ready to help. In
addition, a good friend of my troop leaders, Pete Ripaldi, who
is a local contractor, stepped up to serve as my mentor with the
construction aspect of the project, donating much of his time to
help answer all of my questions and to insure that the pergola was
built correctly. With some people, I just had to mention I was
working on a Girl Scout project, and they were willing to help. I
think the reason for this is that many people have a certain respect
for scouting, and they know what a great organization scouting
is and what scouts do for the community. I was very surprised at
the generosity of local businesses and organizations in donating
materials for my project. Also, I was surprised to nd a good
number of people at my spaghetti dinner fundraiser who I had never
met before.
The pergola was built by local contractor Pete Ripaldi, of Ripaldi
Construction, along with several phenomenal volunteers, and
will be stained in the spring. The patio is ready for use and the
Pelham Public Library staff has expressed much enthusiasm over
the completion of the project. Childrens Services Librarian Debbie
Laffond commented, Recognizing the value of providing outdoor
spaces for our library patrons of all ages, having a patio for the
library became a dream of mine when I rst saw the expansive green
lawn and woods that surround the building. As an educator, I know
that outdoor gathering spaces can provide contact with living things
like plants and animals, and environmental conditions that change
with the seasons. This contact can enhance physical and cognitive
development and encourage imaginative play. I also understand the
value and necessity of having a dened space for children to help
them focus in a large environment with lots of distractions. So when
Eagle Scout Jake Wormald built a patio on the side of the library I
was thrilled. However, we quickly discovered that using this space
was problematic on the bright, sunny days when we really wanted to
be outside- it was too hot! Families with young children and infants
languished in the heat and unltered sunshine.
Now, because of the pergola, I can host outdoor story times,
craft events and booknics with stories and lunch throughout
the summer, fall and spring. As an additional benet, large scale
outdoor events for patrons of all ages can take place in this area. I
extend a very heartfelt thank you to Mary for spearheading this huge
project and to all of her capable volunteers from her Scout troop,
friends and family.
Rebecca Crockett, Adult Services librarian, also commented, I
love the addition of the pergola - its the perfect place for our patrons
to sit in the shade and read a book or simply enjoy the view by our
garden more comfortably. Im very grateful to Mary and the Girl
Scouts for this improvement to our community space.
The library staff has some wonderful programs planned for the
coming weeks that will utilize the great outdoor space, including the
annual Halloween party parade and spooky story walk.
I would like to thank my family, friends, troop leaders, troop
members, and all those who have helped me to complete my project
through volunteering their time or making donations. I hope that
patrons will stop by the library to enjoy the new addition to the
beautiful outdoor patio space and possibly take part in some of the
great programs the library has to offer.

WHS Band Hard at Work Preparing
for Prestigious National Festival
by Jillian DiPersio,
Windham High School Intern
For the past four years the Windham
High School Concert Band has kept the
community on its toes, stepping it up each
and every year as they are invited to more
and more prestigious festivals. This year is
no exception as this past July the band was
informed of their acceptance to the 24th
annual Music for All National Festival in
Indianapolis, Indiana presented by Yamaha.
Last spring the ensemble sent in a recording
and application to this exclusive festival
that was reviewed by a panel of renowned
adjudicators, their acceptance making the
WHS Concert Band the rst band from New Hampshire to ever be invited to
the festival.
WHS Band Director Jared Cassedy explains the extensive application
process as one that evaluates ensembles on continuity and consistency
in the program. The ensemble needed to submit two references and
recommendations of renowned music educators, said Cassedy. The WHS
Concert Bands references came from Dr. Andrew Boyden, Jr., professor of
Music at UNH and composer, and Dr. Mark Stickney, assistant professor of
music and director of bands at Plymouth State University.
Cassedy also needed to send Music for All a curriculum vitae outlining the
ensembles accomplishments and awards. This included a rst-place Gold,
Outstanding Band of the Festival, and Adjudicators Award received by the
band at the Heritage Concert Band Festival in New York City, March 2012;
performance in the National Association for Music Education (NAfME) Eastern
Division Conference in Hartford, April 2013; highest score at the WorldStrides
Festival of Gold in Chicago at Orchestra Hall in March 2013; and acceptance
into the National Concert Band and Orchestra Festival at Carnegie Hall in
New York City, April 2014.
The WHS Concert Band is hard at work preparing for their performance
in the Music for All National Festival to take place March 11-14. Cassedy
explains that preparation for this festival will be different from past festivals,
as the judges are scrutinizing the musicality a lot more than the overall,
general effect of our ensemble Everyone in the ensemble has to give really
strong performance all around. Most of the other 39 bands, orchestras, and
percussion ensembles in the festival will be bringing their top auditioned
ensembles to the festival, but WHS is proud to say that they will be bringing
their Concert Band, a group in which everyone who is willing to put in the
effort can partake.
That means a lot because this concept is a very big part of the foundation
of the ensemble and the philosophy of the program. Again, its that
commitment to sharing music and making music, and everybody, no matter
what level theyre at, can be part of these amazing experiences.
The young musicians at WHS are taking their upcoming performance as a
great challenge. Band Council President and senior Madelyn Joanis says that
student leadership will be indispensible this year to spread the good attitude
and hard work and I guess leading by example. To jumpstart this process,
the incoming freshmen spent over a week of the summer working
alongside Cassedy and upperclassmen to prepare for the year. Junior
Cierra Cowan articulates that the freshmen came in with an extensive
musical knowledge already and I
think that they have the right attitude.
Theyre positive, theyre excited and
I think the upperclassmen are just
as excited to have them. Freshman
Olivia Gomes describes the music as
pretty challenging, but is excited
to go to Indianapolis, saying that she
never dreamed of going there for a
festival such as this one.
Cassedy and the students in the
ensemble are excited for the unique
opportunity the festival offers and the
challenges it promises. Unlike the
other festivals the band has attended
this one is really focused on the music education of performance...
were given the opportunity to not only perform in front of other
ensembles, but we will also hear some of the nations absolute best
high school ensembles, said Cassedy. Along with that experience,
were going to have adjudicator clinicsas well as having the
opportunity for our students take part in master classes.
Cassedy believes this festival is an amazing opportunity for
our students to be exposed to yet another experience of musical
performance and understanding. Weve had the opportunity to go
to festivals before but I think that this opportunity is really going to
drive home the importance of music education in our students lives.
Junior Kaley Missert concluded. Im actually really excited for it.
I think its going to be a lot different from what weve experience
before, but I think were ready to face something new.
Developer must
Request Refund of
Public Safety Impact
Fee to Receive it
by Barbara OBrien
A public safety impact fee collected from a developer in Windham
will not be spent by the October deadline and, according to
regulations, must be given back to that developer, but only if the
developer makes the request.
During a selectmens meeting last month, Town Administrator David
Sullivan said that a $514 public
safety impact fee collected in
2008 has not been used for the
purpose it was intended. No
reason was stated as to why the
impact fee went unused for a
period of six years; the maximum
amount of time that impact fees
can be retained without being
used.
Windham collects two types
of impact fees: school and
public safety. Impact fees are
intended to help offset the cost
of services required by new
residential development. Impact
fees have been a frequent topic
of discussion at selectmens
meetings during the past year, as
a result of some fees not being
properly assessed. As a result,
some developers paid less than
they should have, while others
paid more. Since that time,
language referencing impact fees
has been claried, and hopes
are that such mistakes will not
reoccur in the future.
Sullivan said that town ofcials
will be notifying the developer
whose impact fees were not
expended. He will be advised
that, upon his request, the $514
will be refunded, Sullivan said.
In other business related to
public safety impact fees, it was
discovered that the owner of
another development (Deacon
Place) had not been charged
the correct amount. The
undercharge occurred during
2013, and was, reportedly,
related to a misunderstanding
of the term dwelling unit.
The development in question
includes a duplex, which should
be considered as two dwelling
units. However, it appears that
the developer was only assessed
public service impact fees for one
dwelling unit. The community
development department error
was discovered, after-the-fact,
by planning board member
Vanessa Nysten, who brought
the issue to the attention of the
full planning board. According
to information discussed at a
subsequent selectmens meeting,
the developer was charged only
$1,316, instead of the required
$2,632.

At the suggestion of staff members at Windhams Center School,
plans are underway to have a memorial bench placed on school
grounds in honor of former school principal Maureen Bass.
The request was made during the Windham School Boards meeting
on August 19.
Principal Bass was diagnosed with three forms of cancer in
2006 and passed away in 2010. At the time of her death, a tree
was planted to preserve Bass memory. Staff members now feel
that a memorial bench in that same area would be appropriate.
Children were her life, Annamarie Cattarin told school board
members. She was such a joy! Cattarin also spoke of Bass
welcoming open door policy and her quest to remember every
single childs name. Mrs. Bass stayed active with the students for
as long as she possibly could, Cattarin said.
Its important that her memory lives on, School Board
Chairman Jerome Rekart said. Center School staff members will be
working with SAU 95 administrators to make the request a reality.

After several heated and lengthy sessions dealing with
Windhams septic and wastewater regulations, the nal meeting
was rather anti-climactic. Earlier meetings had seen an overow
crowd of residents and assorted experts in the eld; all debating
whether to change existing regulations, either making them more
stringent or less so, or to stay with the status quo.
In the end, few changes were made, other than attempts to be
more specic about who is responsible for what, as well as some
wordsmithing intended to clarify the process. While there was
some concern about following New Hampshire Department of
Environmental Services guidelines, most of those who offered an
opinion said they felt the true expertise in this area lies with the
state, not local ofcials. Only a couple of people indicated that
they didnt trust state government.
During the nal public hearing last month, there was no
comment from those attending the meeting, nor, according to
Town Administrator David Sullivan, did he receive any comment
from the public after the amended regulations were posted. The
only selectman who offered any dissatisfaction with the proposal
was Joel Desilets, who said he still felt more information should
have been included regarding State regulations (RSAs) pertaining
to septic system replacements. Desilets said he feels it is important
to educate the public as much as possible on such issues. The
other selectmen said they feel
that it is easy enough to locate
such information via the states
website and that to place it
in the local regulations could
be confusing and might also
become obsolete if the State
changes its regulations.
Selectmen voted unanimously
(5 to 0) to support the proposed
amendments to the septic
and wastewater regulations as
written. The only requested
change, which actually came
after selectmen had already
voted, was from Community
Development Director Laura
Scott, who asked that the term
building inspector be changed
to health ofcer. Although,
currently, the building inspector
is also the deputy health ofcer,
Scott noted that this might not
always be the case. Some of
the selectmen were not pleased
with the last-minute request
from Scott, but, after some
discussion, the change was
made as requested.
Voting in favor of the
amended septic/wastewater
regulations were Chairman
Ross McLeod, Vice-chairman Al
Letizio, Jr. and Selectmen Joel
Desilets, Roger Hohenberger
and Bruce Breton.

The Educational Choices Foundation will be working with Dr.
Sandra Stotsky, a nationally recognized standards and curriculum
expert, on the development of these areas for the proposed
chartered public school, Windham Academy.
Dr. Stotsky is credited with developing one of the countrys
strongest K-12 academic standards for Massachusetts. She served
on the National Validation Committee for the Common Core State
Systemic Initiative (2009-2010), on the National Mathematics
Advisory Panel (2006-2008), co-authoring its nal report as well
as two of its task group reports, on the Massachusetts Board
of Elementary and Secondary Education (2006-2010), and on
the steering committee in 2003-2004 for the framework for the
National Assessment of Educational Progress reading assessments
for 2009 onward.
Dr. Stotsky has also graciously accepted ECFs invitation to
come to Windham and discuss different options that are available
for schools. While Common Core State Standards are being
implemented at public schools across New Hampshire, Dr. Stotsky
will discuss alternatives. The public is invited to attend the free
event on Friday, September 5, at 7 p.m. at Windham Town Hall.
We are honored to have Dr. Stotskys help in developing the
standards and curriculum for Windham Academy, said Sean
Donahue, chairman of the ECF.
The Educational Choices Foundation, a non-prot organization,
was created with the mission to bring expanded educational
options and a chartered public school to the Windham community.
The board members of the ECF are Sean Donahue, Tom Murray, Jim
Fricchione, Michelle Levell, and Christopher Baker.
For additional information, contact the ECF at info@
WindhamAcademy.org. The proposed chartered public school has
additional information at WindhamAcademy.org and on Facebook.

Pelham Troops Pack their Summer
Full of Outdoor Fun
submitted by Lucy Wilkerson, Assistant Cubmaster,
Cubscout Pack 610
Come join all the Scouting troops and packs in Pelham as we
host an Open House and Sign-up Night. Scouting is getting ready
to gear up for a new year of fun and adventure. All that is missing
are your sons and daughters.
After the summer hiatus of regular weekly meetings, we are
ready to welcome our Scouts both new and established for
another amazing year of fun. Just take a look at what the troops
and packs did this summer.
Summer break begins with Cub Scout, Boy Scout and Girl
Scout camps; then it moves quickly into a July lled with swim
parties, ice cream socials, baseball games, building friendships.
In August the packs and troops go for those last great outdoor
adventures before the new school starts.
This year, in order to coordinate and assist parents with possible
schedule conicts, all Pelham Scouting groups will be hosting a
Meet & Greet Sign-Up Evening on Tuesday, September 9, from
6:30 to 7:30 at Pelham Elementary School. Cant make that night?
Not a problem, come and see us at Old Home Day. Nearly all
will have a table set up; come and nd out which group ts your
childs need and your calendar.
Bring your entire family! Learn what this great organization
has to offer your child. Well have Scouts and Scout leaders
from both Cub Scout packs (Pack 610 and Pack 25) and both Boy
Scout troops (Troop 610 and Troop 25) and our Girl Scout, Troop,
Brownie and Daisy groups.
Did you know that there is a coed Scouting group in Pelham?
The Venture Crew accepts boy and girls who are 14 to age 21.
Venture Crews focus on higher adventure Scouting. Perfect for
boys and girls who love backpacking expeditions or canoe rapids.
Get your questions asked and answered. Scouting is an
affordable family-centered activity that will build your childs
character, their self-esteem and teach them about stewardship
for the outdoors. We believe in No Child Left Inside. Our
community-focused units will widen your childs awareness
of their role in the community and ignite their love for the
outdoors. Scouting is a non-denominational organization and is
inclusive to all children who meet the age criteria regardless of
any limitations. Plus, theyll make new friends that could last a
lifetime!

groups have websites. You can

A new approach to long term care.
After three terms serving
in the New Hampshire
State House, Jim Lawrence
(R) of Hudson returned to
running his small business
as a Department of Defense
contractor helping streamline
federal government spending.
A 20-year resident, he felt
he should contribute to
his community from the
private sector. Well, now
hes back into the political
arena. This time hes running for the 2nd U.S. congressional
seat, hoping to earn the opportunity to challenge incumbent
Ann Kuster (D). Lawrence, a U.S. Air Force veteran, visited with
the Area News Group staff August 26 to shed some light on his
platform positions, including repealing Obamacare, establishing
a stronger U.S. foreign police, and eliminating the Common
Core curriculum. The father of eight called parents the best
advocates for their children.

Thief who Stole Feline Friends Donation Jar is Identied
submitted by Pelham Police Department
On August 2, at approximately 8:20 p.m., a white or light-skinned Hispanic male
entered Gage Hill Farms Convenience Store located on Route 38 in Pelham and stole
the Feline Friends donation jar. The male subject was caught on video surveillance,
and the footage was released to the public requesting assistance in identifying the male.
Thanks to the assistance of the Methuen, Mass., Police Department and a few
anonymous tips, the thief has been identied as Justin McGrail, 32, of Methuen. A
warrant for McGrails arrest has been issued, and the Pelham Police Department is now
looking for assistance in locating him.
McGrail is known to hang out in the Methuen and Salem, N.H., areas. If anyone
knows his whereabouts please contact the local police department and allow the
authorities to place him under arrest.
As part of the effort to have people come forward with the identity of the suspect,
the Gage Hill Farms store had offered a $200 reward to the person who positively
identied the suspect. As a result of the anonymous tips that came in, Gage Hill Farms
is going to donate that $200 reward directly to the Feline Friends fund. In addition,
Gage Hill Farms staff would like to thank the public for the generous donations to the
Feline Friends fund over the past few weeks.
David Bergeron, the store manager, told police that numerous donations have been
made, and people have been coming in the store to directly support the fund. Bergeron
believes that they have donated more than $500 since McGrail stole the donation jar.
The Feline Friends, a no-kill, non-prot organization, strives to make a positive
difference for cats. The all-volunteer Feline Friends, which does not have a shelter
designated for the cats, utilizes foster homes and an adoption center located in the
PetSmart store at 290 South Broadway (Route 28) in Salem. Any money donated goes
directly to the cost of supplies and health care for the felines. C

Seven Tips for a Greener Back-to-school Season
(BPT) - With back-to-school shopping, changing schedules and
preparing kids for the upcoming school year, your familys environ-
mental impact may be the last thing on your mind
It is possible to have a greener back-to-school season. Here are
seven simple things parents and children can do to care for the
environment - and themselves - as they return to school.
1. Reuse and recycle notebooks. While high schoolers may go
through multiple notebooks per subject every year, its rare for el-
ementary school-aged kids to use up their notebooks. Tear out used
pages (and recycle them, of course) from last years notebooks so
that kids can use the remaining blank pages. Use contact paper to
freshen and reinforce covers that are worn or written on.
2. Give broken and worn down crayons new life. Gather all the
bits and separate by color. Remove all papers. Using a mini-mufn
pan (or mini ramekins in fun shapes), ll each cup with crayon
pieces in one color. Melt in an oven set at 350 degrees just until
crayons are completely melted. Cool at room temperature, then
freeze for 30 minutes to make it easier to remove the newly formed
crayons.
3. Refresh smelly shoes naturally. Stinky gym bags and tennis
shoes dont have to be a reality for your athletic child, and you
dont have to resort to chemicals to kill odor. You can create a natu-
ral deodorizing spray with essential oils. Simply mix 12 to 16 drops
of lemon oil, six drops of red thyme oil and 2 drops of patchouli oil
and 4 ounces of water in a misting bottle. Shake
vigorously and mist inside gym bags and shoes.
The formula not only kills odors, it adds an ener-
gizing, refreshing aroma.
4. Look for ways to green your commute to
school. If you live close to school, consider walk-
ing or biking. Families with longer commutes may
consider carpooling or using the school bus.
5. Green lunches by packing them in reusable
lunch bags (no brown bags or plastic baggies,
please). Pack sandwiches in reusable sandwich
containers, and use bento-style boxes with mul-
tiple compartments to hold snacks, veggies and
other sides. Replace plastic water bottles with
reusable bottles - plenty of fun, colorful options
are available.
6. Energize naturally. Do your kids grab a sug-
ary soft drink or sweet snack to boost their aware-
ness while doing homework? Instead of relying
on unhealthy treats for an energy boost that will
come with a crash afterward, energize homework
time with an essential oil diffusion. Aura Cacia
offers this mood-boosting blend:
Ingredients:
10 drops peppermint essential oil
3 drops eucalyptus essential oil
2 drops ginger essential oil
3 drops sweet orange essential oil
Directions:
Combine all oils in a mister bottle and spritz
in the air around your childs work space. To give
kids a boost during the school day, soak a cotton
ball in the essential oils blend, slip it into a reusable plastic contain-
er and place in your childs book bag. Whenever he needs a burst
of energy during the day, he can open it and take a quick whiff.
7. Lighten up your electricity use and carbon footprint. Get kids
involved in a fun weekend project by replacing incandescent bulbs
throughout the house with energy-efcient CFLs or LEDs. These
bulbs give off the same amount of light for back-to-school tasks like
homework or picking out a rst-day outt, but use about 80 percent
less electricity and can last for eight or more years before needing
replacement.

Wholesome Snacks for Back to School
(BPT) - The school year is here and with it, all of those hectic
schedules. You may think the chaos of another school year means
youre too busy to provide your children with nourishing after-
school snacks, but that doesnt have to happen. There are many
easy recipes available that will allow you to provide wholesome
and delicious snacks to your kids, and there are easy ways to be
sure they enjoy them. Here are a few ideas.
Ask them to help
Your children will be more excited about eating a healthy after-
school snack if they have a hand in its creation. Creating a garden
vegetable tray is an easy way to let kids customize their snack to
their own taste preferences. Smaller kids can organize the grape
tomatoes while you cut the peppers, and when youre nished, you
can all enjoy the snack together. This large recipe is perfect if your
kids are bringing friends over. You could also create the tray on a
Monday and then enjoy it all week long.
Garden vegetable tray
Ingredients
1 package Simply Organic Southwest Ranch Greek Yogurt Dip
Mix
1 16-ounce package Stonyeld Plain Organic Nonfat Greek
Yogurt
1 small zucchini, sliced
1 small yellow squash, sliced
1 pint grape tomatoes
1 medium jicama, peeled and
sliced into sticks
1 orange bell pepper, seeded
and sliced
1 green bell pepper, seeded and
sliced
1 bunch of radishes
1 bunch green onions - about 10 - trimmed
1 head romaine lettuce, large leaves only for the base of the
vegetable platter
1 red bell pepper
Instructions
Mix Simply Organic Southwest Ranch Greek Dip Mix with the
16-ounce package of Stonyeld Plain Organic Nonfat Greek Yogurt.
Chill for 30 minutes.
Line a large tray or shallow dish with a decorative napkin and
Romaine lettuce leaves.
Seed the red bell pepper by slicing off the top of the pepper, then
pull out the membrane and seeds. Discard membrane and seeds,
but keep the top for decoration.
Fill the hollow bell pepper with chilled Simply Organic South-
west Ranch Greek Dip and place in the center of the tray or dish.
Arrange corn, zucchini, yellow squash, grape tomatoes, jicama
sticks, orange and green bell pepper, radishes and green onions
around the red bell pepper dip cup.
Place toothpicks or skewers on nearby serving platter.
Hide healthy foods in delicious avors
Sometimes the right presentation is all you need for your children
to enjoy healthy snacks. This recipe for a banana, pineapple and
orange smoothie hides nutritious fruit in a savory offering that feels
more like a dessert. Just make sure your kids dont drink it too fast
to ward off brain freeze.
Banana, pineapple and orange smoothie
Ingredients
1 medium sized frozen banana (peel removed before frozen)
1 cup frozen pineapple
6 ounces Greek Yogurt
1/2 cup coconut milk
1/2 teaspoon Simply Organic Orange Flavor
1/2 teaspoon Simply Organic
Vanilla Flavoring
Fresh orange slices and shred-
ded coconut, for garnish
Directions
In a blender, blend all ingre-
dients until smooth, about 3
to 4 minutes. Use a spatula to
scrape the sides down as needed
throughout blending.
Serve immediately.
Snack on the run
After a long day of sitting at
their desks at school, your kids
may not be interested in sitting at
the table for snack time. If youre
kids are on the go, this quick,
savory recipe will give them a
nutritious snack they can enjoy
anywhere so you dont have to
turn to chips or candy.
Roasted chickpeas
Ingredients
2 cans (16 oz. each) chickpeas,
drained, rinsed and dried
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 packet Simply Organics
Crazy Awesome Veggies season-
ing blends
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 F.
Place chickpeas in bowl.
Toss with olive oil and season-
ing blend
until evenly
coated.
Spread in
a layer on
rimmed bak-
ing sheet.
Bake 30-40
minutes or
until crisp.
Creating
delicious,
wholesome
snacks for
your kids is
easier than
you think.
All you need
is the right
recipe. For
more easy
recipe ideas

to school as
healthy and
nutritious as
possible, visit

Members of the ECF also contested Steels nancial estimates.
We are conservative taxpayers, too, ECF member Tom Murray said.
I wholeheartedly disagree with Adams numbers, Murray said. It
would be a disservice to the community not to move forward with
the charter school proposal, he added. ECF members said they were
only asking for seven percent of the annual school district budget,
to educate 12 percent of the districts students, adding that they
wouldnt be proposing a charter school if it was going to cost the
school district more money.
Windham Academy is proposed to encompass grades one through
eight for an eventual total enrollment of 300 students. The initial
proposal called for the charter school to begin operating for the
2015-2016 school year. The location of the proposed school has not
yet been determined.
Even if the school board had approved the application for
Windham Academy, the proposal would still have had to go to the
State Department of Education and, if approved there, would have,
then, been placed on the ballot in Windham. The ECF does have
the right to appeal the school boards denial to the State Board of
Education.
In a second motion, however, school board members unanimously
voted to send a letter to the ECF requesting that the group withdraw
its application to the Windham School District and transfer its efforts,
instead, toward applying for approval of a state-funded charter
school. The motion, which was made by Mike Joanis, garnered
the approval of all ve school board members. It certainly is an
option, School District Attorney Gordon Graham commented.
I like the motion, Rekart said, adding that he felt it was a win-
win situation for both the school district and Windham Academy.
Eyring said that he felt Joanis idea was a good concept, one that has
potential. However, even if the ECF receives state funding, Eyring
said, he believes Windham Academy would still need to receive
some amount of tuition from the school district, in order to provide
the desired level of education. ECF members agreed with Eyring,
stating that the proposed charter school would struggle nancially
under the state-funded model.
In making his motion, Joanis added that he would like to see the
school district partnering with the proposed charter school, even
if the ECF moves forward with seeking state funding. By working
together, Joanis said he believes any remaining issues regarding the
application for a charter could be solved. Joanis emphasized that he
wants Windham Academy to succeed.
Eyring said he feels that Windham has a great school system, as
well as wonderful teachers, but also believes the community would
benet from the option of having a charter school. Charter schools
provide exibility in the methods of delivering education, Eyring
said, allowing students to move at their own pace and experience
challenges not available in the school district. Windham Academy
will ll a niche that will serve our students well, he said.
ECF member Sean Donahue responded to the passage of the
motion to withdraw the application to the school district and
pursue State funding for a charter school. We have to determine
among ourselves if certain concerns with the state-funded model
can be overcome, Donahue said. The idea has to be considered
thoughtfully, he added. If the ECF decides to go the state-funded
route, it would most likely delay the opening of Windham Academy
for a year, until the 2016-2017 school year. Murray said that there
were already 41 students pre-registered for Windham Academy for
the 2015-2016 school year.

Pick Levell for the Windham Team
On election day, Windham voters will have the opportunity to pick who will be
represent them in the legislature. In the state representative contest, you have four
slots to fll. It is similar to felding a sports team. We have a roster to fll and diferent
skill sets are needed to cover all the positions. Not everyone can be a quarterback
or linebacker. We all have unique rolls to play to be a successful team. I believe
that I have a set of experience and knowledge that complements those of the other
candidates. My background in school choice and Constitutional Rights is needed for
Windham and Concord. Tese are important issues for our town and state, and I can
be an efective part of the Windham team. Please pick me as part of the Windham
team on September 9. For more information about my experience and views, please
refer to my website at www.Michelle4NH.com or my Facebook page.
Michelle Levell, Windham
Sapareto Wrong for District 19
I am a homeschooling mom of three from Windham and gravely concerned
about the upcoming Republican Primary Election for our State Senator. One of the
candidates, State Rep. Frank Sapareto, has some very near sighted views on assault
that I just dont get. Frank was charged with a simple assault in his home in the
spring of 2014. Ten, as a State Legislator, he decides he wants the defnition of
simple assault to be changed to include only unprivileged physical contact that
does not cause physical harm or injury. Te use of his of ce to change a law of
which he was convicted seems ethically challenged and of concern to me.
It also seems to me that Frank Sapareto is blind to the
impact redefning simple assault would have in domestic
violence cases. Abusers know how far they can push before the
law can intervene. I know personally. Without the physical
harm of being beaten either no one believed or could do
anything. My case went on and on until fnally an attempt
was made on my life and the ofender was caught weapon in
hand. I dont want anyone to have to go through this because
of Frank Saparetos personal get out of jail agenda.
And yet another reason to say no to Frank Sapareto is his
opposition to Joshuas Law, which makes domestic violence a
distinct crime. Sapareto was 1 of only 3 votes against this bill.
Te kind of non-bodily harm he thinks is frivolous would
be included in this in order to build a case against the abuser.
Also included would be threats, violent actions, and stalking.
When these crimes are not autonomous, the totality of the
evidence will help law enforcement end the intimidation by
the abuser and save lives. We are only 1 of 15 states that had
not adopted this law and if Frank Sapareto had had his way,
we still would be.
On September 9 I will be proud to enter that voting booth
to cast my ballot for Jim Foley, an honorable candidate! He
is a citizen of Derry and a small business owner himself. He
understands the needs and challenges we face. He was an
of cer in the Marine Corps and is involved in many charitable
organizations. Jim Foley will make us proud in Concord,
representing us with integrity.
Noel Lyons-Baker, Windham
Consider Waterhouse for
County Commissioner
When you cast your ballot in the Republican Primary
on September 9 I hope you will consider casting your vote
for Kevin K. Waterhouse for County Commissioner of
Rockingham County for District 3. I am happy to endorse
Kevin. We have worked as colleagues in both the State
Legislature and the Executive Committee of the County
Delegation for ten of the last 12 years. Tis term I serve
as chairman of the County Delegation. Kevin was elected
to serve as clerk. We have worked well together to pass the
county budget and to lead the oversight of that budget. Kevin
volunteered to serve on several subcommittees assigned to
work with county department directors and this extra efort
to fll in for delegation members who could not be present
have served the county well. Tis level of cooperation
was particularly important this term as the of cers of the
Executive Committee & Delegation have been faced with
several unique situations that have required an experienced
legislature to make good, sound policy decisions. Kevin
possesses these character traits and will make an exceptional
county commissioner.
I believe Kevin Waterhouse is the better candidate in this
race. He has decades of experience running small businesses.
He understands budgets and will be a good steward of your
tax dollars. Kevin has served his Country in the US Army,
he serves his church in many ministries, and he has served
his State well for many years. Now Kevin needs our support
to send him back to Rockingham County as your County
Commissioner.
Kevin is retired from active management of Waterhouses
Country Store in Windham and he is asking to become
your full time business administrator in the Commissioners
Of ce in Brentwood. Kevin will be there to support the hard
working people who make our nursing home, Registry of
Deeds, jail, Sherifs Department, and County Attorneys of ce
function ef ciently.
Please vote for Kevin K. Waterhouse for Rockingham
County commissioner on September 9.
Representative Norman L. Major, Chairman, Rockingham
County Delegation, Plaistow
Vote Grosky for Rockingham
County Attorney
As a Rockingham County resident for 29 years, please
join me in voting for Jason Grosky for Rockingham County
attorney. Why does Jason deserve your vote? Rockingham
County is a gateway to New Hampshire for criminals in states
to the south. As prosecutor for the Salem Police Department,
Jason has a frst look at many of the most serious cases to come
through the county. Jason has a keen sense of how to approach
cases. One of the most pressing issues in the county is the
scourge of drug addiction, particularly heroin. As a sharp
prosecutor, Jason sees the need for rehabilitative programs for
individuals with addiction and full prosecution for predators
who prey on our youth and otherwise vulnerable population.
Jason is fscally conservative while remaining tough on violent
and repeat ofenders with a zero tolerance policy for ofenses
committed against children and the elderly.
Te county attorneys of ce desperately needs a changing of
the guard and Jason Grosky is just that person. Having never
worked in that of ce, Jason will have a fresh approach; he will
bring sorely needed honesty and integrity to the position.
Jason doesnt hesitate to stand up for what is right, even if it may not popular.
Jason is an upstanding member of the community, where he views civic duty as a
responsibility, serving on several committees and area boards. Above all, Jason is a
family man, together with his wife Gretchen; they are raising three wonderful, socially
responsible children. I am proud to endorse Jason Grosky for county attorney and I
hope he will have your vote on September 9.
Terry McCaferty, Derry
Estevez is the Best Person for the Job
I am happy to recommend Eric Estevez for your vote in the upcoming September
9 primary election for state representative in the towns of Pelham and Hudson.
Estevez is a very compassionate young man who will represent you with honesty,
integrity, and most of all, watch out for you, the voter. I know Eric will do that and
more.
In my lifetime, I have never met a more caring and compassionate person. On
several occasions, he has personally donated to several charities and helped several
people in need. For example, Eric recently donated his time and money to a disabled
veterans organization in the state to honor his grandfather who served in World War
II and his brother who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. He is a person who is not out
there for himself or his own selfsh interests. He cares about you, the voter, and your
family.
Although, I dont live in your area, I have many friends who do and I felt it was
important to let you know that Eric Estevez is the best person for the job. Many
times, candidates will say they will represent you, work for you, and make the best
decisions for you and then they do the complete opposite. Eric Estevez is a man
of his word. He will never betray us. He is a very ambitious, smart, and articulate
young man who is not afraid to tackle the tough issues that face our state today. His
character, educational and professional credentials make him the best candidate.
I know I am proud to endorse Eric Estevez. He will work hard on a number of
issues facing our state today such as job creation and fghting taxes, and more. Please
consider giving Eric Estevez your vote for state representative on September 9.
State Rep. Dick Patten, Concord
Discussing a Contract is not Scandalous at all
Te contrived outrage around Mr. Rory OConnors well deserved promotion to
GBS principal occurred despite the board unanimously praising him - the people who
discussed his contract made it crystal clear that it was not about Mr. OConnor. I
have spoken with Mr. OConnor during the meeting - he knows he was not under
attack and that every board member has full confdence in him. Te discussion starts
at 03:27:30.
Some of the best paid school district employees pay no contributions to healthcare
costs (zero copays, too), even though most employees pay a signifcant share. Te
board members trying to keep that fact hush-hush claimed that discussing contract
details is tantamount to attacking or undermining the candidate ... which is simply
insulting to Mr. OConnor, a man who clearly outshone the other candidates,
received high praise from every person I talked to, handled the assistant principal
position in an elementary school without raising his voice once in the entire
school year and even dressed like Taylor Swift to reward his students for reading
achievements. Mr. OConnor, who has the good judgment and strong character
required by the job and the certainty that his students, their parents, and the GBS
staf love and respect him, can easily handle his contract being discussed during the
school board meeting.
It is the boards duty to examine Mr. OConnors contract details before approving
it. Despite that, see Mr. Rekart trying to preemptively silence Mr. Senibaldi at
03:29:45; petty attempts to keep relevant public information out, like Mr. Joaniss
refusal to include the salary in his motion at 03:29:08 and Mr. Fenebergs refusal to
discuss Mr. OConnors previous salary at 03:41:15; arguments that discussing the
contract is inappropriate (Mr. Joanis at 03:35:10); unnecessary apologies implying
discussing the contract was improper (Mr. Breton at 03:36:30). Te most remarkable
statement belonged to Mr. Rekart at 03:39:05 who showed some of the dramatic fair
lost when Ms. Wimmer stepped down by claiming that the nomination is tainted in
perpetuity and it is unconscionable that politics would enter into this discussion.
Merriam-Webster: politics \p-l-tiks\: the work or job of people (such as
elected of cials) who are part of a government.
Te chairman accuses two board members of doing the work they were elected
to do ... scandalous! Accusing a board member of being a politician is nonsensical,
especially when coming from another politician. Note Mr. Rekarts disbelief (at
3:40:40) that Mr. Eyring opposes a bad contract for a great candidate - the mindset
that the contract details do not matter is exactly why Windham got into our current
fscal mess.
Te only people who should apologize to Mr. OConnor are the ones who used
him as a fg leaf to cover the boards inaction on an unwise compensation scheme.
Rest assured though - the board is on the case and plans to talk about healthcare
contributions in the fall ... just like they planned to fx the Center School roof
this summer. Every month that the board is fddling allows the best paid district
employees to pass go and collect on that sweet healthcare deal again and again ... at a
very real cost to Windham taxpayers.
Mr. OConnor: myself, my family and especially my youngest daughter who
attended GBS congratulate you on your well-deserved promotion and wish you every
success in your new job. Youll be a great principal - now go make Windham proud.

The home was for a
single mother with two boys
who had been living in a
collection of tarps and metal
panels for at least a year. It
was very special for me, as
a mother, to talk with her
one-on-one. Our younger
children are about the same
age so that some of our chat
seemed very normal. On the
other hand, her situation is
so different from life here in
Windham she was moved
beyond words several times
as she thanked us, as well
as the God that united us to
build a home for her and her
boys.
The other work site was a
church and school. Ten of us
plus interpreters and a few
volunteers from the mission
would meet there each day.
The school buildings are
also constructed with cinder
block and stucco. In the
mornings we cleared and
painted four classrooms and
an ofce. The dark corners
held most of the mosquitoes
we encountered on the trip as well as a couple of tarantulas!
Those created quite a bit of excitement. The classrooms each had
worn chalkboards (just green paint) and rudimentary benches with
higher, slant-topped benches used for desks. The classrooms we
painted were certainly much more welcoming when we nished!
In the afternoons, after a sandwich and chips and lots of water, we
would play with the kids who had begun to gather. We cleared off
the eld by the school (rocks, some trash and goat and cow piles)
where the soccer balls we brought were very popular. The older
boys quickly occupied the eld. We played games with the younger
boys and the girls. None of the kids spoke English, so most of the
communication was by demonstration and copy. We taught them a
game called ga-ga ball (a popular game from Camp Berea where our
students go for a winter retreat each year), duck-duck-goose, pat-
a-cake, Miss Mary Mack and even the Macarena! They taught us a
game similar to jacks played with small stones and a partner dance
performed while singing a song faster and faster. The children were
delighted to play games and just give and receive smiles and hugs.
The Vacation Bible School lesson was taught by a missionary
who has been
working in
Haiti for years.
She has learned
to speak the
language
well and was
an animated
storyteller. We
all learned
the songs and
Bible verse in
Creole. Then
the kids were
divided into
three groups for
Bingo, games
and crafts. We
had been asked
to bring the
crafts for each
day with us.
We prepped
small snack
bags for each of the 100 children with everything
they needed for that days craft. They made a cotton
ball sheep out of a handy clothespin and a loaves
and shes bracelet with colorful beads. They also
got to decorate a tee shirt with fabric markers and
another day a small ashlight with plastic gems.
The ashlights were a big hit!
After four days together the children had all
become special to us, with a couple of real
standouts for their personality and engagement.
They all appeared to be primarily healthy, but they
were very thankful for the snack each day and of
course they enjoyed the small candies given out as
Bingo prizes. While there were a few squabbles
here and there, they were well behaved and just so
much fun! When they received even the smallest
thing they were so thankful even allowing them
to keep the small bags the craft supplies were
handed out in was a special treat. As word of the
happenings at the school spread, we had more than a hundred kids
each of the last three days. We handed out anything extra we
had, right down to recycling cups so everyone got some of the
punch. After cleaning up, and a little more playing with the
kids who hung around, we headed back to the mission.
One morning we went to the local farmers market to buy
fruits and vegetables. We all got to try chewing sugar cane
and some of the unusual local fruits. The cook who prepared
our evening meals made fantastic fried plantains and cooked
up the breadfruit we got at the market. We did some souvenir
shopping at the mission gift shop and with some of the
vendors who lined the street nearby.
All in all, it was an amazing trip. I believe that all of us
who went are forever changed by living with, working with
and serving a small group of people in Haiti. They found joy
in the moment, were thankful for what they had and werent
bitter about what they didnt have. Being with them brought a
desire to instill those attitudes in our lives back home. On the
other hand, I believe that the lives of those we left behind are
changed as well. Certainly the family we built the house for is in a
markedly different place and I really felt the mother was touched
by our physical efforts to make her home a reality, recognizing the
personal sacrice that showed her our love for her in Jesus name.
And the children? Well, it was another thread in the fabric of their
lives just four days with a few snacks, games and crafts and lots
of love. But for some of them the stories about Jesus clicked just a
little bit more, and seeing all of the foreigners who came from so far
away to be sure they heard those stories another time, and to love on
them, hopefully made an impact.
As a mission team we would like to thank everyone who helped
make our trip possible. Our families helped pay for our travel. The
church chose to gift half of the Christmas Eve offering toward the
house cost. Our own VBS at Windham Presbyterian Church raised
money to buy childrens Bibles in Creole. Our gift basket rafe and
pasta dinner were supported by local businesses and the bake sale
on the day of the Garden Club plant sale was fueled by donated
coffee and homemade baked goods. And then it was all of you who
bought the tickets, came to the pasta dinner and bought coffee and
baked goods or just gave along the way who made the rest of the
house and the supplies possible.
Next year the plan is to return to West Virginia to help with home
repairs in a hard-struck area we have been serving for over ve
years. Beyond that, we would love to consider another international
trip in the future. As we prepare we will continue to seek your
assistance to partner with us. The Senior High Youth Group meets
on Sunday nights at 7 p.m. and the Middle School group meets on
Wednesday nights at 6:30 p.m. both will start in early September.
You do not need to be a member of Windham Presbyterian Church
to attend. Link to Student Ministries from the church website at

Haiti Mission-continued from front page
Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down? Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down?
Thumbs down to all the Police Departments
in the area. When, oh, when are they going to
start ticketing all these trailers being hauled by
landscapers or whomever that dont have any
trailer stop or turn signals working? They see them
on the road every day, how about checking to see
if their safety devices are working or are you guys
just playing dumb. Im sick of trying to gure out
if theyre turning or stopping.
Thumbs up to the person who put the lovely
owers on the sign on Hardwood Road. They
are so beautiful and they made me smile at the
end of a long journey home. You must really love
whoever they were meant for!
Thumbs down to the big blond woman in
the small van that speeds down Loretta Ave
between 11ansd11:30 a.m. every day. How about
slowing down for once and pay attention to your
surroundings . Ill give your plate number to the
Police every day I see you speeding down the hill.
Ill let them handle your attitude.
Thumbs down to the Good Catholic over at
St. Patrick School who referred to us as haters
simply because we took our kids and left. Zero
kids in 4th grade, a handful of kids in all the other
grades and the big increase in tuition moved us
along. Please stop blaming those who have left
for what is obviously an internal problem. When
so many people leave, its not their problem, its
your problem.
Thumbs down. Just recently, I read the article
on the addition on the high school that somebody
had put in last months paper. So, I took it upon
myself to do the same thing: walk the property
and look around. Its denitely not what the town
sold us. Its a lot more than what the town sold
us. I dont know what to say to the people of the
Town of Pelham. Maybe we need to impeach the
entire Board of Selectmen for lying to us! Thats
what other towns to their board members when
they deceive their residents. Because this is
going to cost us a lot more money than what they
promised us it would. Board of Selectmen, please
get yourselves together and stop lying and get
your stories straight.
Thumbs up/Thumbs down. The Democrats
claim Scott Brown has made lots of money by
shipping jobs overseas. Republicans claim Jeanne
Shaheen is solely responsible for our border
control problems. Which is more believable?
Jeanne Shaheen is way up in the northern part of
the country, a thousand miles from the Mexican
border while Scott Brown can make money
anywhere. Thumbs down to the Koch brothers
and their golden son, Scott Brown. Jeanne
Shaheen is for the people rst.
Thumbs up to a good joke. How long do we
have to look at a dead animal carcass? And how
many police ofcers does it take to remove it?
Now think about that. Because thats funny.
Thumbs down. I just found out that somebody
made the decision that the Library director is
an open position every two years. Now theyre
gonna mess around with one of
the best things that Pelham has
going for it! Everyone loves the
library and they are the nicest
women I have ever met in my
life. The kids love them. Who
has the power to make these
decisions
because we
dont get to
vote on them.
Thumbs up
and thank you
to all the store
employees all
over the area who took on more
hours to keep shelves stocked
and checkouts moving during
the Market Basket boycott. The
impact of the boycott was felt
by so many and I just want to
express my sincere appreciation
for everyones efforts to help
customers during this incredibly
challenging time while the
communities supported the
efforts of the Market Basket
employees.
Thumbs Down to Pelhams
RINO State Representative,
who once again received an
F rating on their Americans
For Prosperity Score Card.
Voters need to pay attention to this when voting
September 9th.
Thumbs up to the two new sundials in
Pelham. Thumbs down to the many signs that
obstruct them. Thumbs up to my visiting friend
who on a positive note thought they were on
an amusement ride maneuvering around the
round-a bouts. In their words they remind
me of the
Dodgems at
Lakeview so
many years
ago!
Thumbs
up to all
the talented
educational
staff who
were non-
renewed or
moved on
to greener
pastures!
And to those of you who
remain on, in spite of the
intolerable conditions. We
who have left know how bad
it is, especially to move on
after gaining tenure. Keep up
the fight!
Thumbs down to giving our inexperienced
Town Administrator a thumbs down just
because he is a member of the Good old boys
club and gave the building inspectors friend a
job regardless if it is costing us tax payers more
money because he was a higher bidder than
the others.
Thumbs up to Hannaford Supermarket
in Pelham for doing an awesome job
accommodating all of the extra customers in
the store throughout the Market Basket ordeal!
Happy for all of the Market Basket employees able
to get back to work, but continue to be impressed
with how Hannaford handled and managed this
difcult situation! You deserve a big thumbs up
for the important part you played in all of this!
Thumbs down to the building inspector in
Pelham for not properly enforcing the codes and
laws that were set forth by the federal government
and our state. I noticed that a contractor was
doing some work over at the church at the
intersections new rotary when I asked a couple
of people who belong to my parish if the proper
permits had been pulled and if Dig Safe had been
called, no one knew. When I called Dig Safe, I
was told that they had not been called and that
no ticket had been pulled. Its the law that you
have to pull required permits and call Dig Safe
before ever digging. Especially when you are near
gas and utility lines like you were, and you did.
Uphold the law, do your job or get out. Thumbs
down to both of you.
Thumbs down. I had to drop off a child at
Pelham Elementary in the morning, and this has
been going on for at least several years now. The
line is terrible, at least a half hour long to get
through. With the addition of the kindergarten
and preschool, its gotten so much worse.
Hopefully someone will take a look at it and try to
make some changes.

Selectmen Approve Grant Application

for Searles Building
Pelham Republicans Host National Candidates Give a Dam by
Coming to Yard Sale
Fundraiser
for Moeckel Pond
submitted by the Friends of Moeckel Pond
Yard sale items move from one household to the next for
the benet of both the seller and the buyer. That will happen
again at the neighborhood yard sale on September 13 and
14 in Windham, but there will be a third, very important,
interested party in each yard sale transaction: Moeckel Dam.
The dam was breached by the state in 2010 for safety
concerns and private citizens are undertaking the task to
rebuild the dam to restore Moeckel Pond for the publics
recreational enjoyment.
Once this pond is restored, people will have access to
canoeing, kayaking, shing, birding, snowshoeing, pond
hockey and general communing with nature that is becoming
less common in our community, said Christine Rogers, yard
sale participant.
Friends of Moeckel Pond, Windham Conservation
Commission, Windham Heritage Commission/Historic
Committee, and Windham Endowment for Community
Advancement are working together to create this new
recreational opportunity for southern New Hampshire.
Friends of Moeckel Pond and supporters are holding a
neighborhood-wide, multiple-household yard sale to raise
construction funds for the 250-year old, historic Moeckel
Dam and to restore the 40 acre Moeckel Pond. We met
our original nancial target, but increased precipitation
and runoff have forced us to enlarge the dam, said Dianna
Fallon, FOMP board member. We are half-way to our new
goal.
Moeckel Pond is nestled in the middle of a pristine area
of southeast Windham with over 700 acres of hiking trails
and climbing experiences. When completed, Moeckel Pond
will offer access to passive water recreation for summer and
winter activities.
You can help restore this local treasure by coming to the
I Give A Dam Yard Sale. Twenty-ve to 100 percent of
all sales will be donated and used to reconstruct Moeckel
Dam. It is a volunteer-driven event to help people nd new
treasures while helping to save an older one.
Cant make the yard sale but would like to help? Make
a tax-deductible donation to the Windham Endowment by
mailing a check marked for Moeckel Pond to: Windham
Endowment, P.O. Box 4315, Windham, NH, 03087. Or

Windham Selectmen have unanimously
(5 to 0) approved the application of a grant
intended to continue the restoration of the
historic stained glass windows in the town-
owned Searles School and Chapel, located
on Range Road. The more than a century-old
structure is now used as a function hall for
various events. Money raised through these
events is used for the upkeep of the Tudor-style
building.
Local resident and volunteer Margaret
Case has been diligently working on raising
money to repair and renovate the building and
recently learned of the Historical Preservation
Grant. Money for the grant is raised through
the annual Festival of Trees celebration.
Restoring the stained glass windows is a very
expensive undertaking, Case said.
The $10,000 grant for which Windham is
applying requires 50/50 matching funds. Case
explained that the matching funds would not
be coming from taxpayers, but from fees raised
through the rental of the Searles building.
Case and Town Moderator Peter Grifn will be
working on the grant application.

Scott Brown is certainly not a newcomer to New Hampshire. In fact,
his family has lived in the Granite State for nine generations. Scotts
wife, Gail Huff Brown, joined former Senator Bob Smith at a well-
attended meeting Tuesday night in Pelham. Also in attendance were
current State Reps Bob Haefner, Russ Ober, Charlene Takisian, Lynne
Ober and Rick LeVasseur and State Rep candidates Greg Smith, Kim
Rice and Eric Schleien as well as State Senator Chuck Morse.
Gail, who was a well-known Boston television journalist, said,
Scott had about 13 other commitments tonight and Ive been on the
campaign trail all day. Reminding the audience that Scotts family has
been in New Hampshire for several generations, she said, Scott was
born in this state and weve owned a house in this state for 26 years.
She spoke about his commitment to making a difference noting that
we need a check and balance on President Obama, and taking back
the Senate would help do that. Scott understands how important it is to
have a more conservative commitment. She elded questions from the
audience with grace and wit.
Former Senator Bob Smith followed her. His message to the audience
was that he was pro life, pro gun and 100 percent in support of the
Republican platform because those issues are right. Smith said, Our
country is really, really in trouble. The voters must decide who is the
best candidate to take on Jeanne Shaheen. She votes consistently with
Obama and consistently against the people of New Hampshire. Smith
identied immigration as one of the top issues facing the country as well
as Obamacare. He was also concerned about spying done by the NSA.
Ann Francher moderated the evening and kept the questions owing.

Alerting Residents to IRS Scam
submitted by Windham Police Department
The Windham Police Department is warning residents of a new
telephone scam that has occurred to at least one resident. The resident
received a phone call from an individual identifying himself as a
representative of the Internal Revenue Service. The person stated that
the resident owed money to the IRS and directed the resident to obtain
a money order or cashiers check from their bank. Similar calls in other
jurisdictions have involved threats of police involvement and even the
threat of arrest for non-compliance. The phone number shown on caller
ID indicated the call was from the Washington, DC, area when, in fact,
it is believed that the number originated outside of the United States.
The IRS does not make such calls. They do not threaten arrest for
failure to pay funds nor do they involve local police agencies in their
nancial collection efforts. Should you receive such a call simply hang
up and report the incident to the police department.

Opening Weekend Brings out the
Best of Windham Wolverines
submitted by Holly Binda-Breton, Windham Wolverines
In its season opener, the 4th Grade Windham Wolverines rode
a punishing ground attack and shutdown defense to a 33-0 win
over the Manchester South Sabres at Goffes Elementary School in
Manchester on Sunday, August 24. The Wolverines set the tempo on
the games very rst play when running back Aiden Williams took a
Josh Sweeney handoff and scampered 61 yards to the end zone.
Stellar blocking by the entire offensive line allowed the
Wolverines to rack up yards on the ground and led to rushing
touchdowns by Bryan Desmarais, Aidan Goss, Dylan Yeung, Jack
St. Hilaire, Lukasz Rondeau and Joe Lisa. For paving the way all
day and throwing huge block after huge block, Head Coach Mike
Sweeney acknowledged the whole offensive line unit with Player of
the Game honors.
Defensively, the Wolverines also set the tone early. Defensive
end Andrew Noel stopped a Sabres runner in the backeld on
Windhams rst defensive play, and a suffocating defensive line had
Manchester South in reverse for the rest of the game. Noel added
a crushing sack in the third quarter, but the defensive player of the
game was linebacker Timmy Hoffman. Hoffman had a big tackle
on fourth down during the Wolverines opening defensive series to
force the Sabres rst turnover on downs, several more tackles that
resulted in lost yardage and a fumble recovery on a rst-quarter
kickoff.
The fourth graders are on the road again next week before their
home debut on September 7.
The 5th Grade Wolverines came out to play hard on a beautiful
Sunday morning against the Hollis-Brookline Cavaliers. The squad
played a tough defensive stance against the Cavaliers during the
rst half, allowing zero points and continuously putting Hollis in
negative yardage territory.
The Wolverines struck rst with a long touchdown run by
Christian Spinazola. But it didnt stop there. Two additional scores
from Adam A-Bomb Koza and an extra point by Joey Hero gave
the Wolverines a nice lead at the end of the rst half. But Hollis
answered with a couple of great runs for touchdowns in the third
quarter, reminding the Wolverines that the game was far from over.
But once again, the Wolverines answered the Cavaliers with some
great plays by their Special Teams squad, led by huge kicks from
the boot of Chris Billone. Putting two more scores on the board
thanks to Brett Boucher, and some aggressive defense by Kolby The
Blizzard Kurto, the Wolverines sealed a victory for their rst game
of the season.
The coaching staff couldnt be more proud of the team for their
rst showing and are anxious to start prepping for the next game on
September 7.
The 6th grade Windham Wolverines team took on the Hollis-
Brookline Cavaliers but ended up on the losing end of a 26 to
12 nal score. It was the rst game of the season and also Tyler
Muellers rst time to get the team red up with his chant. The boys
rst drive started off well and ended on their ninth play with a Jake
George touchdown run. The extra point kick was no good and on
the very next play the Cavs came back with a long touchdown run
of their own and went up by one point to make the score 6-7. The
Wolverines struggled on their next drive and Hollis capitalized and
scored on another rushing touchdown and made the score 6-14.
Rock Heres and Joey DaSilva lead the team down the eld and
Rocky nished it off with a 20 yard touchdown run to make it 12-
14. The defense came alive on the third drive and was lead by the
skills of James Comeau who had two tackles for a loss and a sack.
Jack Hamill and Connor Logue clogged the running lanes and the
secondary was on point. After that drive, the game headed into
halftime with the Cavaliers ahead, 14-12. The cheerleaders all put
on a great performance.
The Wolverines started off the half on defense and just a few plays
in they scored on a long touchdown run by their fullback. Jake
George blasted through the line to stop the extra point to only give
them six points and make the score 12-20. Joey DaSilva gave the
team a boost by starting off the drive with a 30 yard kick return but
the drive ended with a turnover on downs and the Cavs capitalized
and scored another rushing touchdown to make the score 12-26 at
the end of the third quarter. The defense played very well to end
the game with James Comeau forcing a fumble with Curtis Shattuck
recovering it and the next drive they forced a punt. The nal score
was 12-26 with the Cavaliers winning.

Prior to opening night of the 2014 Razorbacks
football season, the football eld at Muldoon Park in
Pelham was dedicated to long-time league President,
Andy Vanti. Also an inductee into the American Youth
Football National Hall of Fame in Orlando, Florida,
Vanti is revered in the town of Pelham for his over 25
years of service to the Razorbacks organization.
On Saturday, August 23, hundreds of well-wishers
in the form of parents, coaches and players made their
way to Muldoon Park for the short pre-game ceremony.
Vanti arrived at the park and made his way to the
50-yard line, anked by players and cheerleaders
representing the seven teams from the organization.
Prior to the unveiling of the new sign that now
denotes the new Andy Vanti Football Field, current
President, Lou Longo, paid tribute to the man of the
hour, saying that Vanti has made an impact on so
many children and families around the surrounding
towns. Longo went on to say that Vantis contributions
to the Razorback program through the years have been
a constant. Additionally, Longo discussed the long-
reaching effect Vantis services have had, saying that
the Razorbacks are the envy of all of New England and
nationally, as a result of his efforts.
Vantis niece, Melissa Rickard, followed Longo
on the P.A. system, echoing Longos sentiments and
adding, You deserve every ounce of attention you
are receiving here today. A shy individual who did
what he did for the organization without fanfare, Vanti
said that the greatest thing he is taking away from his
26 years with the Razorbacks is the friendships with
everybody.
I have lifelong memories here, added the Town of
Pelham football icon.

Lady Pythons Resilient in Season Opener
by Marc Ayotte
Things looked good very early on in the Pelham girls Soccer 2014
debut, but despite a great individual effort by Morgan Pinksten in
the games rst 20 seconds along with receiving goals from three
different players, the Lady Pythons came up on the light side of a 4-3
decision at Campbell on Friday, August 29.
After Pinkstens steal and subsequent shot went wide of the Cougar
net, Campbell took a 1-0 lead at the 37:41 mark when Nikki Golden
scored the rst of her three goals on the day. However, Pelham tied
things up at 1-all, six minutes later when Lauren Anderson scored on
a goal from Taylor Burke. The goal was set up on a nice play from
Pinksten which drew praise from Coach Jon Hall on the sidelines:
Pink thats a great run. Anderson would subsequently leave the
game after suffering an upper-body injury.
The Snakes fell behind 2-1 with 15:30 left in the rst half after
Golden registered her second goal of the game on an assist from
Emily Moreau. The Cougars lead doubled to 3-1 with 6:30
remaining after PHS keeper Shyanne Skinner misplayed a routine
grounder towards the net, resulting in Hannah Neild being credited
with the tally.
In the second half, Pelham came out and capitalized on a sluggish
Cougar defense. Just 2:47 in, Kiera Garrett scored on a shot blasted
from inside the Campbell goal crease, beating keeper Jamie Jutras,
and cutting the Snake decit to 3-2. Shes a great athlete and works
hard, commented Hall on his starting sweeper.
With 16:58 remaining in the second half, Brooke Paradis scored
on a brilliant kick from 35 yards out. Struck from the left side of the
eld, Paradis shot sailed past a diving Jutras into the far right side of
the goal, tying the score at 3 apiece. She was a rock today, noted
Hall of the PHS 3-sport star, whose long distance, score-tying free
kick with 11:00 remaining, oated tantalizingly just over the CHS
crossbar.
Leading to that scenario and dampening the enthusiasm displayed
by the Pelham contingent on the sidelines was another strike from
the Cougars scoring stalwart. Golden was sent in alone for the
game winner as she blew past the Python defense and beat goalie
Amira Eid, who had replaced Skinner between the posts. A last
ditch effort by Pelham was thwarted after a superb corner kick from
Pinksten scooted out of the Cougar crease with 2:30 showing on
the clock. They didnt quit ghting for it, exclaimed Hall as he
pointed out Pinkstens effort at the end of the game. Those are
really positive signs for us.
Additionally, Hall commended the play of Emma Cousteau:
She did a great job as a midelder, and Morgan Walsh, of whom
he offered, She is going to be a player; great skills and a really
good read of the game. As a general assessment of the Python
performance, Hall observed, Were not just kicking and chasing it.
I thought there was some great things that happened today. With
respect to his season long approach and being in the picture come
playoff time, Hall philosophized; its not about the rst four games,
its about the last four.
Drop Heartbreaker to Windham
Four days after their grueling opening day loss at Campbell,
the Lady Pythons task didnt get any easier when they traveled
to Windham to take on the perennial powerhouse Lady Jaguars.
Pelham stunned the hometown crowd when they grabbed a 1-0
lead late in the rst half (37:00) as Brooke Paradis notched her
second goal in as many games. Brooke was sent up eld and she
capitalized, said Coach Jon Hall, referring to the assist picked up by
Morgan Pinksten.
Windham battled back, taking advantage of a Pelham minor
defensive breakdown and scoring in the games 55th minute,
knotting the score at one apiece. The Jags scored what proved to be
the game winner ve minutes later, beating freshman keeper Amira
Eid, who played all but ve minutes of the contest after replacing
an injured Shyanne Skinner. As a freshman, she played very, very
well, offered Hall. She made a dozen saves to keep us in the
game.
Paradis almost tied things up on a couple different occasions in
the nal 20 minutes. Brooke had two great scoring opportunities,
recalled Hall. The Lady Snakes who lost both games to Windham
last season by a combined score of 18-1 are quickly turning heads
in D-III competition. These girls are so coachable and hungry to
learn, indicated Hall of the changed culture on the girls soccer
eld this season.
Also earning praise from Hall for their play were freshmen
defensemen Kiera Garrett and Brianna Trudel; they played an
absolutely great game, said the rst year Python coach. Despite
this loss and an extremely difcult rst three games of the season,
Hall said the game against WHS was a huge condence builder.
Windham is a very talented team; probably the best team well see
all season. We responded well to going down 2 to 1 to a very good
team, conveyed Hall.
Brooke Paradis was a force on both sides of the feld, playing great defense and
scoring a goal in the Pythons season opener.

PHS Boys Soccer Opens Season
with a Pair of Tough Losses
by Marc Ayotte
The Pelham High boys Soccer team
put together a solid start to their 2014
season; unfortunately Coach Matt
Millers squad came up on the short end
of a pair of heartbreaking 1-0 losses. In
the season opener on Friday, August 29,
the visiting Indians of Sanborn Regional
trimmed the Snakes with an early goal.
Four days later, the Pythons hosted
nearby Windham and stuck with the
defending Division II champs for most
of the game before the Jaguars scored in
the 73rd minute and escaped with the
one-goal victory.
Sanborn scored on a
shot from the edge of the
18-yard box in the 16th
minute to take the lead,
reected Miller. The
Python coach continued
by praising his Pythons
performance, We
controlled the middle of
the eld all game with
fantastic passing from
Aidan Walsh and Victor
Romeo. On the offensive
end, Miller commended
the play of Eric Guinasso
and Nick Young: (They)
pressured Sanborns
keeper all game but were
unable to nd the back of the net. Suffering the
loss in goal was senior Brian Gettings, turning back
eight of the nine Sanborn shots he faced. Millers
overall assessment was positive and upbeat: (Our)
performance was phenomenal We hope to build
on this possessive style of play and start to link up
wins as the season goes on.
The season did continue when Windham made
the short trek to Pelham the day after Labor Day, and
once again, the Snakes put forth a tremendous effort.
This time, conversely, the goal came late in the game.
The Jags Cole Rutledge scored on a brilliantly placed
right corner kick that glanced off Gettings hands and
slid just inside the near post with just seven minutes
remaining in regulation.
In the rst half, Gettings was stellar
between the posts, making numerous
diving saves to keep Windham at bay.
None were better than his left-to-right
diving effort that stoned the Jags Ross
Wentworth from inside the 6-yard box.
Moments later, Josh Gonzalez nearly
put the Pythons on top when his shot
caught WHS keeper Parker Hudson off
guard but clanked off the crossbar. Both
teams entered the intermission tied at
0-0 but not before a last second bid by
Windhams Matt Laliberte was foiled
by a nice sliding tackle from behind by
Jimmy Russo in the 18-yard box, forcing
the shot to oat harmlessly wide and
high of the net.
Windham had the best scoring chance
when play resumed. A dozen minutes
in to the second 40, Jon Ferri drilled a
free kick from about 35 yards out that
Gettings deected away with a perfectly
timed leap, keeping the Jags off the
board. Moments later, Cam Chrissis
blasted a shot from 25 yards out that
just sailed over the crossbar. Pelham
responded in the 56th minute when
Dylan Sacca produced the Snakes best
scoring opportunity, but Hudson turned
the bid away with a diving save of his
own.
As the clock ticked inside 10:00
to play, Gettings came up big again, squaring himself up to a
Windham throw-in and stopping a point-blank shot off the foot
of Laliberte. But just two minutes later, Windham continued to
apply the pressure and was awarded the ill-fated corner kick that
produced the game winner from Rutledge.
After the game, Coach Miller was disappointed with the result
but was extremely pleased with the way his team stayed with the
two-time state champs. Overall our style of play was good,
noted Miller. To have them (Windham) on their heels, along with
our scoring opportunities was huge. With so many positives to
take away from this game especially after being beaten handily
last season by their nearby rivals, Miller revealed his enthusiasm:
This is a game we are using as our building block for the rest of
the season.

Windham Field Hockey Topples Souhegan at Home
by Jacob Gagnon
After an incredible run in last years postseason
which ended with the Windham High School Field
Hockey team being crowned NHIAA Division II
Champions, the Lady Jaguars face a different kind of
challenge this season.
After accomplishing the ultimate goal as a program,
there is a tendency to become content. Without
that motivation, that hunger, even the best teams
are capable of falling from the top tier. Head Coach
Amanda Ward is well aware of this pitfall. That is why
Windham had a point to prove as they opened their
season against Souhegan High School on Tuesday,
September 2. The Lady Jaguars were eager to make
a statement that they were still motivated and hungry
for another title.
We know we have a target on our back as the
defending champs, so we told them (the players) to
go out there and play their best, not to let down, and
to send a message out there, said
Ward. We are not assuming that
we are going to be able to make it to
the championship. We have to work
hard.
The Lady Jaguars struck early on
with a pair of goals from Justine Levesque. Levesque
would nish the game with three goals total out of six
shots on goal in the contest. Rachel Rogers added a
score in the rst half to give Windham a 3-0 lead.
Souhegan fought back against Windham in the
second half, as the game remained scoreless for a
majority of the period. The Lady Jaguars, not satised
with simply holding on to a lead, continued to push
forward. Windham scored twice more, once from
Levesque and a nal goal from Courtney Sweeny, to
secure a 5-0 win to begin the 2014 season.
Justine most certainly impressed me. She was
talking on the eld and making passes, said Ward.
I also saw a lot of growth from Abigail Lagos in net.
She absolutely owned it and communicated up the
eld. Lagos is a sophomore who made her rst start
between the pipes in a varsity game on Tuesday with
ve saves and a shutout victory.
We know that the only thing that could hold
us back is ourselves, said Ward. If we can stay
together and play as a team, as a unit, then we feel
we should be continuing to see success. The Lady
Jaguars have made a statement that they will continue
to strive for excellence this season. The only way to
do so, Ward knows, is as a team.

Windham
Golf Team
Begins Title
Defense with
Solid Start
by Jacob Gagnon
Last season, the Windham High
School Golf team, led by Head Coach
Ken Bourassa, captured the NHIAA
Division II Championship. The Jaguars
hope to repeat their championship
performance this season.
Windham began their 2014
campaign, traveling to Hanover on
Thursday, August 28, to play Hanover,
Trinity, and Hollis-Brookline high
schools. The Jaguars played well,
winning two of the three matches with
a total score of 193 but fell to Hanover
High with a score of 188.
Despite the loss, the Jaguars
showcased a number of talented
players who will be tasked with leading
the team this season. James McKee
shared medalist honors for the event
with a top score of 35. Teammate
Chad DeSautels collected a 38, while
Jack Grubbs scored a 39. Patrick
Higgins, at 40, and Eric Butler, at 41,
rounded out the Jaguars top scorers for
the event.
Windhams next meet was set for
Tuesday, September 2, at Amherst
Country Club as they faced off against
Souhegan and Portsmouth high
schools.

PHS Cross Country Travels to Sanborn Regional
by Marc Ayotte
The Pelham boys and girls X-C teams opened up the
2014 schedule on September 2, when they competed
at the Jamie Martin Invitational hosted by Sanborn
Regional High School in Kingston. Coach David
Niemaszyks boys squad had a respectable showing,
placing fth (165 points) in the team competition in
a eld of 16 teams. Winning the meet was Mascenic
Regional (65), followed by Goffstown (91), Kingswood
(128) and Hollis-Brookline with 137 points.
Leading the way for Pelham runners was Bryce
Blanchard who nished eighth overall with a time
of 17:29 (just 65 seconds behind meet winner Ryan
Lafrance of Gilford. Rounding out the top-ve Python
runners were Allan Vallante (second, 21st overall,
18:27); Chris Kaberle (third, 29th overall, 19:17); Alec
White (fourth, 50th overall, 20:30); and Jacob Dorman
(fth, 56th overall, 20:53).

out of rst place). Team Captain, Andrea OHearn
(second) came in a solid 12th overall, completing the
course in a time of 23 minutes and a dozen seconds.

Lady Jaguars Best Pelham Girls in Soccer Showdown
by Jacob Gagnon
It had ended too soon. Despite nishing the
season with a 14-0-2 record, which earned
them the second seed in the NHIAA Division II
Championship Tournament, the Windham High
School girls Soccer teams title hopes were
dashed in the quarternal round as they fell to
Hanover High School.
While some squads may have dwelled on such
an abrupt and heartbreaking nish, the Lady
Jaguars and Head Coach Matt Bryant are fueled
by their past postseason failures. The program has
only grown stronger from the adversity. Bryant
understands that, as long as his team continues
to improve and raise the level of their play as the
season progresses, the Lady Jaguars will have a
chance to capture the title that has eluded them
thus far.
I think weve reached the point with our girls
where a championship is a realistic goal, said
Bryant. What I think is more important, though,
is that we keep raising our level and play to a high
standard.
Windham has continued to improve as a
program, season by season. Sometimes, however,
it can be difcult for regular season success to
translate to the postseason, where one game
can end it all. Weve been pretty good for
a few years now, and that often makes teams
complacent, said Bryant. My Junior Varsity
Coach Kayleigh Davis and I have put a lot of
thought into what we can do better, and were
expecting more intensity in practices to get ready
for that tough playoff run.
The Lady Jaguars have worked hard in the
offseason if preparations for another strong
season.
Windham hosted
a team camp
that gave the
athletes a chance
to work together
and get back
into the rhythm
of the game.
Bryant has been
impressed both
with the results
of his teams hard
work and their
mental focus
heading into the
season. Weve
gotten a lot of
buy-in both from
the returning
players and the
newcomers, and
I think were ahead of where we were last year in
terms of tness, said Bryant.
Powering Windhams offense will be an
experienced attack. Hannah Pesci, Haley Psareas,
and Emily Howe are returning to the attack for the
Lady Jaguars. The three players combined for 36
goals and 22 assists last season.
Lexi Lewis, Selena Hansen, and Talia Giardino
are returning starters on the defensive side of the
game. Bryant believes they will be a cohesive
unit on the eld this year. Danielle Fischer and
Maggi Mazri are expected to play in the mid-eld.
Jenna Parsons is more than ready to take over in
the goal, said Bryant. Combine that with some
really great, hard-working newcomers and we
should be able to pick up right where we left off
last year.
Windham opened the season with a 4-0 victory
over Milford High School on Friday, August 29.
On Tuesday, September 2, the Lady Jaguars
hosted Pelham High School. After defeating
the Pythons last season, Windham may have
underestimated the rededicated Pelham program.
The Pythons pressured Windham, breaking the
scoreless tie in the nal moments of the rst half
to take the lead when Brooke Paradis scored with
an assist from Morgan Pinksten.
I think we all took Pelham a little bit for
granted because of the way things went last year,
but they have a completely different culture now,
said Bryant. That coach has really gotten them to
play together and their captains are really classy
players. We had to work for everything we got.
Windham tied the game early on in the second
half with a goal from Hannah Pesci with an
assist from Emily Howe. Moments later, the
Lady Jaguars grabbed a lead when Maggi Mazni
assisted Danielle Fischer for a score.
The thing that I was impressed with today was
that they (Windham) were calm. They were really
composed, said Bryant. They came out (after
halftime) and scored quickly and got another one
to put it away.
Lexi Lewis and Talia Giardino worked
incredibly hard on defense to help ensure that the
Pythons would not strike back. Windham held
on to their lead for the remainder of the game to
improve to 2-0 on the season. They will face a
tough challenge on Friday, September 5, as they
face defending champions Souhegan High School.
We are striving for consistency. The effort has
been better at practices, the focus has been better,
so I think that reminding them of the end goal is
going to be really important, said Bryant. They
all want to go as far as they can this year and they
know that we have what it takes.
