School Business
Administrator Resigns
by Doug Robinson
Kathleen Sargent, Pelham’s School Business
Administrator for the past two years, resigned
as a result of her miscalculation over the
payment of an outstanding bond for the town
of Pelham.
According to School Superintendent
Frank Bass, Sargent’s bond reporting error of
$1,058,825 will need to be added to the 2010-
2011 School Budget for the coming year. In
addition, the error, as admitted by Sargent, will
add approximately $50 to the Pelham tax rate
this coming year.
“She told us it’s paid off,“ stated School
Pelham’s School Business
Board member Linda Mahoney.
Administrator, Kathleen Sargent,
As reported by the Lowell Sun, “Budget
resigns, having admitted the
Committee Chairman Larry Hall told the Sun
$1 million mistake
that closer scrutiny of the district’s ledger upon
Sargent’s departure uncovered $757,227 in
available impact feed, collected from developers of the past 10 years, that can
be used to largely offset the $1 million budget shortfall.”
Superintendent Bass is expected to ask the Budget Committee to add the
$1,058,825 to the upcoming budget, as well as to ask of the Budget Committee
to offset these funds with monies learned to be available from the impact
fee account. If approved, the financial hit to the Pelham taxpayers would be
approximately $300,000.
No School Bond Being
Sought This Year
by Barbara O’Brien
The majority of Windham school board members have decided that this is
not the year to ask residents to fund a $30 million bond for the construction
of a new middle school. It was not a unanimous decision, but nearly so, with
only one board member wanting to move forward with the concept.
Voting against putting a bond request on the 2010 school district warrant
were Chairman Bruce Anderson, Daphne Kenyon, Ed Gallagher, and Jeff
Bostic. The only school board member who wanted to take the question to
voters was Vice Chairman Mike Hatem.
Those who were opposed to including a bond issue on the school district
warrant this coming March cited two main reasons. First, the poor economy
and significant number of residents who are either under-employed or
unemployed, and, secondly, a lack of research into what would be the best
options in building a new middle school in Windham, make this a bad year for
asking for additional money.
In order for a school bond issue to pass voter scrutiny, a 60-percent majority
is required. Most of the school board members said they didn’t feel a bond
issue could possibly garner that much support this year.
Hatem, the only school board member wanting to move forward with a $30
million bond, said he’s concerned that the state will cut building aid in the
near future, causing Windham to miss out on about $10 million in financial
assistance. The other school board members said they felt it’s too early to
predict what the state will do in light of the current budget crunch and were
unwilling to go out on a limb to get state aid now, when it might still be
available in the future.
School Board member Daphne Kenyon said it’s obvious that when the
economy is bad across the board, it effects the state budget, which in turn
effects how much money goes to local communities in financial aid. However,
Kenyon said, she’s not certain Windham will lose school building aid. “That’s
very uncertain,” at this point, she added. Kenyon also said she hadn’t
personally spoken to anyone who was in favor of spending $30 million in 2010
to build a new middle school.
Kenyon also pointed out that it took a full five years (2000-2005) to get a
bond passed for the new Windham High School; a facility which only opened
this past September. “There should be no bond this March,” Kenyon said.
School Board member Jeff Bostic said he certainly doesn’t want to
compromise the education of Windham students, but the community has to
balance the needs of students with those of taxpayers. Bostic also emphasized
the need for acquiring additional information on viable options. “We need the
time to present these options to taxpayers as concretely as possible,” he said.
There just isn’t enough time to accomplish that this year, he added.
School Board member Ed Gallagher pointed out that “state aid has not
evaporated today.” “We shouldn’t make decisions on what might happen at
the state level” someday, Gallagher stated. Gallagher said he believes it would
“be crazy” to consider a school bond this year. He also said he would rather
emphasize reducing class size in the existing buildings (by using additional
portable classrooms). “It would be misguided to put a $30 million bond out
without doing all the homework,” Gallagher emphasized.
Colby Putnam, who serves as one of the student representatives to the
Windham School Board, said he doesn’t feel that residents have the money to
pay for a bond now. “It’s only an ‘if’” as far as losing state aid, Putnam added.
Christine Carpenter, the other student representative to the school board,
said she feels its “good to know there are people looking out for the students”
of Windham, but she would not like to see other areas of the budget or
curriculum reduced in order to pay for a new middle school. Carpenter said
she doesn’t think people should “rush into passing a bond” now at the risk of
losing teachers or programs.
Former School Board Chairman Barbara Coish, who has already announced
her intention to seek re-election this coming March, said she’d like to see the
board focus on getting the money ($160,000) to finish the facility needs plan,
which was started more than a year ago. “At this point,” Coish said, “we really
don’t know what we need or where best to put what we do need.” The facility
needs plan is one thing that definitely needs to pass this coming March, Coish
stated.
Windham resident and parent Heather Petro took an opposite opinion,
however, from most board members. “The money is available now,” Petro
said, “and the need is great.” Petro spoke in favor of putting forth the middle
school bond, encouraging school board members “not to shy away from this
opportunity” and to bring the bond proposal to voters in 2010.
Windham resident and parent Michelle Farrell also spoke in favor of asking
voters for $30 million this coming March. “Space is a huge issue,” Farrell
said, adding that she doesn’t like the idea of leasing more portables to house
students. Farrell said she understands that getting voters to support a building
bond, at this time, would be difficult, but “we have to figure out how to get the
community behind this project,” she told school board members.
Resident Bob Coole agreed with school board members who feel this is
not the time to move forward with building another school in Windham. Not
only is the economy doing poorly, he said, but there just isn’t “enough time to
educate the public on the need or on the options.”

A Night at the Aquarium
submitted by Jim Curtin
Cub Scouts from
Windham Pack 263 spent
the night at the New England
Aquarium. During the
overnight adventure, the
Scouts participated in a
squid dissection and a tide
pool program. The Scouts
completed a pillowcase
painting craft and explored the Amazing Jellies Exhibit. At
lights-out, the Scouts camped in the West Wing, which is a
two-level exhibit space that currently houses the Amazing
Jellies Exhibit. In the morning, the Scouts had the whole
aquarium to themselves to explore until the regular visitors
arrived. After 9 a.m., each Scout received a hand stamp that
Management Proposal for Searles School
and Chapel in the Works
by Barbara O’Brien
Windham’s historic, town-owned Searles School and
Chapel is “almost without a leader,” Marion Dinsmore of the
Historic Commission told selectmen recently.
Ginette McMahon, who has been working as the schedule
coordinator/manager for Searles School and Chapel for an
extended period of time, is retiring from that position and
historic commission members are in a quandary as how to
best handle the facility’s management in the future.
Currently, the job is essentially that of a volunteer,
Dinsmore said, paying approximately $6,000 per year. Town
Administrator David Sullivan said they have been seeking
a volunteer to take over the duties currently performed by
McMahon, but have had no luck in finding anyone.
As a possible alternative, Dinsmore asked David Kolifrath,
proprietor of Searles Castle Event Management, to speak
with selectmen. Kolifrath explained that there is a lot of
confusion going on between Searles Castle and Searles
School and Chapel. People interested in using the facilities
are confusing one with the other, he said. Because of this
confusion, Kolifrath said he feels it would behoove both
facilities to be under the same auspices.
Searles Castle is often the site of weddings, bridal showers,
christenings, and other such social events. The facility caters
mostly to fairly large events, with a minimum number of
guests required. Searles School and Chapel, on the other
hand, often hosts events put on by local organizations and is
willing to handle smaller events.
Kolifrath’s proposal is that his management firm take over
the marketing, bookings, and other such planning for Searles
School and Chapel. He said his company is well respected
and has done an exceptional job for the owners of Searles
Castle, which is the property of the Sisters of Mercy in Rhode
Island. Kolifrath said his firm has recently signed a new 10-
year lease with the Sisters of Mercy.
According to Kolifrath, it would be a win/win situation
for Windham to hire Searles Castle Event Management
to handle Searles School and Chapel. “I know we can
make it profitable,” Kolifrath said, adding that to make the
facility a nicer place to hold events would take some work,
particularly in regard to decorating and landscaping. “The
Windham Endowment Donates
Acoustical Shell
by Barbara O’Brien
Windham Endowment, a non-profit organization
dedicated to raising money for a number of local purposes,
has made another donation to the new Windham High
School; a facility which opened its doors just this past
September.
Diane Carpenter, one of the founders of Windham
Endowment, met with school board members recently to
present the donation of an eight-panel acoustical shell
intended to enhance performances at the high school.
School board members accepted the $17,531 donation,
unanimously, by a vote of 5 to 0.
Carpenter explained that the most recent donation is part
of Windham Endowment’s High School Capital Campaign,
which focuses on three distinct designations, including Fine
Arts, the Science Curriculum (Alternative Energy), and the
General Fund. Those who donate to the High School Capital
Campaign may specify the exact purpose of any donations.
Carpenter told school board members that the purpose
of the acoustical shell will be two-fold; first, to use during
performances of specialty groups, such as a flute ensemble
or small choral group. It can also be used in larger places
than the auditorium, such as the gymnasium or cafeteria, to
focus the sound toward an audience.

building should be utilized more than it is now,” he said.
Under the proper management, more money could be made
for the historic commission to use for much needed building
renovations “without costing taxpayers a bundle,” he added.
“Someone needs to be in charge of overseeing the events”
at the school and chapel, Kolifrath said. Currently, no one
from the town is on hand during events at the Searles School
and Chapel. The town has been lucky, so far, that no damage
has been done over there, Kolifrath stated. Town employees
do open and close the facility before and after events,
Dinsmore said, but do not stay on site throughout receptions
and parties.
Selectman Galen Stearns said he would still want a
reduced fee schedule for residents and non-profit local
organizations, even if the school and chapel were to be
managed by an outside firm. Kolifrath suggested that local
groups could use the facilities Mondays, Tuesdays, and
Wednesdays, while Thursdays through Sundays would be
reserved for those who would pay a higher fee.
As for the types of events Kolifrath would endorse, there
would be “nothing on the wild side,” he said, out of respect
for the historical significance of the Searles School and
Chapel. There would be no children’s birthday parties,
no Sweet Sixteen parties, and no Turning 21 parties, he
specified.
Selectman Roger Hohenberger said he didn’t want the
Searles School and Chapel to be looked upon as a business
venture, but, rather, as a town asset. The facility is “well
respected by the community as it is,” Hohenberger said, “not
as a business to make money.”
Windham resident and school district official Betty Dunn
pointed out that the management of the school and chapel
is “at a crossroads.” “We have to involve those who can run
the building and the business in a more efficient fashion, on
a day-to-day basis,” Dunn said.
Selectmen agreed by consensus that they want Kolifrath
to develop a proposed business plan for Searles School
and Chapel. Once the plan is completed, selectmen want
it reviewed by members of the Historic Commission, then
brought back to the board for a final decision.
According to Carpenter, the screen has already been
manufactured and will be shipped from a factory located
in Minnesota. The donation includes the cost of freight and
handling. Additional panels can be added to the screen, as
needed, up to a total of 13. “Eight panels will get us through
the next few years, though,” Carpenter said.
This is the third gift that Windham Endowment has
directed toward the Fine Arts Program. The other two gifts
include a bassoon and symphonic chimes, as well as a baby
grand piano, which has already been featured at each of the
concerts performed at Windham High School thus far. “Our
goal is to enhance the high school for the entire community,”
Carpenter said.
School Superintendent Frank Bass announced that the
prestigious All-State Jazz Festival will be held at Windham
High School this year. “This is an incredible opportunity,”
Bass said, adding that a number of well-known jazz artists
will be featured during the three-day festival.
As for additional donations to Windham Endowment,
Carpenter said, “gifts of any size are always welcome.” Many
corporations also offer matching funds for donations made
by their employees, she added. Donations to Windham
Endowment are tax-deductible.

The Word Around Town...
Pelham Senior
Center Expansion
In March 2010, the voters of Pelham will
be asked to support a warrant article for
expansion of the existing Senior Center in the
amount of $279,000, of which $100,000 will
be provided from an existing Capital Reserve
and $40,000 will be donated by the Pelham
Council on Aging (COA), leaving $139,000 to
be raised through taxes.
Under the Town’s current assessed valuation,
this represents a 10-cent increase in the tax
rate for 2010 or a one-time yearly increase
of $25 for a taxpayer with a home valued at
$250,000.
There are several important facts I
respectfully ask the voters to consider in this
regard.
First, as the Selectman’s Representative to
the Senior Center, I have seen firsthand the
nature of the services this facility provides and
can attest to its importance to the community.
I have also witnessed the difficulties the staff
has in accommodating the multiple activities
that take place during normal operations and
I am impressed with the variety and nature
of the activities which actually take place. In
fact, in talking to some seniors, it is apparent
that this facility is their primary resource to
socialize, participate in recreational activities,
and receive physical well-being and health
services advice. The government-subsidized
nutritional program provided through this
center is a mainstay for some of our less than
well-off citizens, while the senior center
bus serves as a major transportation means
for shopping, recreation, and a means to
participate in the nutrition program for many.
That said, it is obvious that the Senior Center
is an important element within our Town’s
infrastructure.
Second, it is the opinion of the COA, the
Director of the facility, and myself that the
current facility is inadequate to meet existing
needs. In scheduling the multiple services
and activities the center provides, such as
nutritional programs, recreational facilities
and most importantly, health and well-being
services, it is increasingly difficult to conduct
many activities concurrently, if at all. Rather,
it is frequently necessary to “juggle” activities
to accommodate space requirements. Some
recommended programs are deferred or not
considered because of the lack of space.
Third, considering the town’s current
financial difficulties, the BOS and the COA
are not asking for a newer facility, or even a
replacement of the existing location, but rather
a modest expansion that will provide much
needed space to accommodate the current
and increasing demands for services. Toward
reducing the burden on the Pelham taxpayer,

the COA has conducted, and continues to
conduct, a vigorous fundraising campaign to
raise funds and is pledging $40,000 of its own
funds to support the expansion. In addition,
a COA Building Subcommittee has worked
diligently to develop the extension plan with
cost efficiency in mind and the objective of
insuring the expansion will suffice for the
coming years.
Last, please recognize that with the
expected increase in senior taxpayers in
the coming years as the population ages,
the Senior Center will be faced with serious
reductions in services if the present facilities
are not expanded. This means that your
parents, relatives, friends, or even yourself,
if you are contemplating retirement, will
have limited options available for senior
recreational, health, and social needs, should
they elect to reside in Pelham in future years.
Therefore, I would encourage you to visit
the Senior Center to observe firsthand what
they provide and how the facilities are used,
to see for yourself, and then vote accordingly
in March.
The BOS, as well as the Budget Committee,
has fully supported this warrant and hopes you
do also.

We Can Do It
Suppose we didn’t borrow any more money
from China. Then suppose we froze the
interest that we pay to China for the money
that we have borrowed. We could then pay
off the loan we owe to China. How can we
do that, you ask?
First, we would not loan or give any more
money to any other country. The money saved
would be used to pay down the ‘bill’ we owe
to China.
Second, we would cancel all the TARP
programs, make no more loans to the banks,
and have no more government buy-outs or
takeovers. This saved money would also be
used to pay down our loan from China.
Third, put the healthcare reform, cap and
trade, and greenhouse gas on hold ‘til the
Chinese tab is brought under control.
Then, we need to put America back to work.
No, not by putting more people to work in
the Public Sector or other temporary make-
work jobs. We need to let the Private Sector
do what it does best, and that is create jobs,
make money, pay taxes, put more people to
work, make more money, and pay more taxes.
That is the American way. That is what makes
America the greatest country in the world.

Salt Shed Bids Received
by Barbara O’Brien
One of the projects included in the proposed 2010 Windham
Town operating budget is a new salt shed; a facility that needs to be
relocated from its existing site near the historic depot. The current
proposal includes building a new salt shed on town-owned property
located near the Windham Transfer Station off Ledge Road.
Although the salt shed project was rejected by voters last
year through a warrant article, officials from the Department of
Environmental Services (DES) are still mandating that the relocation
be completed by 2011. In order to meet that deadline, selectmen
are including a portion of the money needed for the salt shed in
the proposed operating budget for this year. The allocation of
$160,000, to go toward a new salt shed, is also being recommended
by members of the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Committee.
According to Assistant Town Administrator Dana Call, 10 bids
for a new salt shed were received by the late December deadline.
“These are preliminary numbers,” Town Administrator David

hometown, the Windham Baseball and Softball
League recently mounted a plaque at the park in
their honor. Andy Griffin passed away at the age
of 85 in 1997, but his wife, Mary, was on hand for
the recent plaque presentation.
Selectman Charles McMahon, who also serves
as president of the Windham Baseball/Softball
League, spoke about the generosity of the Griffins
and how the land came to belong to the Town of
Windham.
In 1996, McMahon said, he was contacted by
Andy Griffin and asked to serve as “a go-between”
in securing a buyer for his family’s Tara Farm.
Andy and Mary Griffin had spent most of their
adult life working the farm and operating the
produce stand, and eventually, an ice cream stand
as well. Mary described herself as “the laborer,”
while Andy always got to operate the tractor.
In addition to his farm work, Andy Griffin also
worked as a police officer and prosecutor for
many years. He also served in the military for
an extended period. After returning to Windham
following his military service in World War II,
Andy Griffin was heard to say that paradise had
been lost when he went away, but was found
again upon his return to New Hampshire and his
beloved wife.
As Andy got older, however, he wanted to
make sure that his wife was provided for in case
he couldn’t do it any longer. That was when he
That proposal was for an elderly housing/nursing
home complex, McMahon said.
It became apparent, however, that Andy Griffin
really didn’t want the farmland to be developed,
McMahon said. So, that was when the idea of
a town park came into play, and, turning down
the $1.2 million offer, the Griffins ultimately sold
the land to the Town of Windham, to be used for
passive and non-passive recreational purposes.
The price tag was $500,000, less than half of what
had been offered by the developers. It was only a
year later that Andy Griffin passed away.
“He was a remarkable gentleman,” Mary
Griffin said of her late husband. “He loved
everybody and everybody loved Andy.” Looking
at the plaque being displayed by McMahon,
Mary Griffin smiled and thanked everyone for
the honor. “Every time I go to the park now,”
she said, looking at the etched likeness of her
husband, “I’ll be able to say hi to Andy.”
The Griffin’s plaque will be displayed on “The
Wall of Thanks,” McMahon said. “This park is
their legacy. We don’t want anyone to ever forget
how we got here,” he said, adding that Griffin Park
will forever be dedicated to recreational purposes.
There is also another plaque dedicated to the
Griffins, one that was mounted on a large stone
which was found on the property while Andy
Griffin was still alive. This stone has been carbon-
dated by scientists at the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology (MIT) to be thousands of years old.
The stone is similar to those found at Mystery Hill
in Salem, McMahon said. “It is a true artifact.”

Big Friends/Little Friends National Geographic Geography Bee

Submitted by Presentation of Mary Academy
At least once a month, seventh graders from Ms. Bergeron’s class and Pre-K students from Mrs.
Demers’ class get together to develop a friendship between older students and younger students.
When they gather together, they do many different activities that are prepared by the teachers. In
the photograph, the children are enjoying friendship cookies that they made together for their morning
snack. They do all kinds of arts and crafts, learn special songs during music and movement, and also
pray together. The Pre-K students attended Mass with their “Big Friends.” They were the first Pre-K class
to ever attend Mass with the older students.
This developing friendship between the younger and older students at Presentation of Mary Academy
in Hudson will be teaching both age groups many new things. The younger students will learn not to be
afraid of “Big Kids” and the older students will learn how quickly their “Little Friends” learn from them
setting an example of kindness, patience, and genuine caring for each other, no matter what age or size
we are.

Presentation of Mary Academy students in grades four through eight participated in a Geography Bee
within their classrooms. The following students were the winners of their classroom Geography Bee.
Grade Four: Nathaniel Lapointe and Francis Pellegrino; Grade Five: Annabelle Dionne and Ava Simon;
Grade Six: Aurora Bas and Emma Stalker; Grade Seven: Melyssa Demers and Erin Farrelly; and Grade
Eight: Ryan Brown and Rachel Scaer. After several rounds of questions given by the moderators, fifth-
grade teacher Mrs. June DeCosta and eighth-grade teacher Mrs. Jane Carver, the two finalists were Aurora
Bas and Melyssa Demers.
Sixth-grader Aurora Bas, winner of the bee, moves one step closer to a chance to win a $25,000
College Scholarship. Aurora will advance to the next level of competition—a written examination to
determine the state competitor. All school winners are eligible to win the national championship and its
first prize, a $25,000 college scholarship, at the national competition, which will be held in Washington,
DC, on May 25 and 26.

Creative Math is
Soooooo Much
Fun!
submitted by Presentation of Mary Academy
Presentation of Mary Academy second-
graders from Mrs. Psoinos’ class have had a
great time learning about geometric shapes.
After instruction and discussion about solid
shapes and plane shapes, the students made
models of solid figures using marshmallows
and toothpicks. They made a cube,
rectangular prism, and square pyramid. The
students knew from their instructions that
the toothpick was the edge, which is the line
segment at which two faces of a solid shape
meet, and the marshmallows are vertices,
which are the corner points of a solid shape
where edges meet. What could be more
fun than having a hands-on project using
marshmallows and toothpicks to learn a
math concept?

The Tax Return - Your Annual Financial Checkup
W.F.Boutin EA - Total Tax Solutions LLC

I am happy to participate in The Area News Group’s “Maintaining Your

Piece of the Pie” series once again this tax season. Over the next several
weeks, I will be presenting a series of articles that will cover various
aspects of the income tax return. Knowledge and understanding is a very
powerful weapon. These articles dissect the income tax return, define

times.
At Total Tax Solutions we view the preparation of an income tax return
as a time for an annual financial checkup. The tax laws can be compli-
cated and confusing to many individuals. Each taxpayer’s situation is
unique on different tax bracket levels and change from year to year. The
income tax return itself is very complex since a minor change in one
area of the return can affect several other areas of the return. Certain
transactions that may occur during the year can cost you much more
than you anticipated. This is because of the affect an increase in total
income can have on certain deductions and credits that have phase out
limits.
Of course I recommend that you have your taxes professionally
prepared so that you can: 1) ask questions pertaining to your return: 2)
understand your options to lower your taxes for the next year and 3)
have someone who you can call if a particular situation should arise
during the year. With your previous year’s transactions in our computers
we can give realistic advice instead of assumptions. Many of our clients
take advantage of this service which is included in their one time fee.
I realize that not all returns are so complicated as to require profes-
sional preparation. Self preparers however should consider having their
taxes professionally prepared at least once every 3 to 4 years. This
schedule fulfills several opportunities such as verification that there is no
misunderstanding of the tax laws, allowing them to ask pertinent
questions, and most important, have the piece of mind that they have
fulfilled a financial checkup.
Mistakes made on previous returns have a three year window for
amendment. Many mistakes that have been found cost taxpayers much

Thumbs Up?
Comments expressed in this column are the sole views of those callers and do not reflect the views of the Pelham~Windham News or its advertisers. The Pelham~Windham News
Thumbs column should not be used to hurt or defame an individual or business. Town and school officials encourage readers to seek out assistance directly to resolve any problems or
issues. The Pelham~Windham News editorial staff holds the right to refuse any comment deemed inappropriate.
“Thumbs down to SAU 28 for running a Union
Leader ad for a ‘Technical Theatre/Auditorium
Director to attend major auditorium/theatre
events both in-school and after school. … may
also provide some instruction…” This is just
another unannounced cost for the castle on the
hill sponsored by the school board and the SAU.
It’s true, it is a beautiful and overly well equipped
auditorium and stage complex, but when did we
authorize a theatre arts program – that is where
it is headed – with ever more support personnel.
And where did the SAU find the money to hire
someone for this position? We all know the total
cost of most of these positions will be $100,000
by the time you (we) add up all the salary, taxes,
retirement, office space, administrative costs,
postage, computer and other attendant costs.”
“Thumbs down to SAU 28 On any given day,
there are already over 30 vehicles parked at the
SAU, some I am sure are ‘visitors’, but still, to
‘administer’ to a combined (Windham/Pelham)
school population of roughly 5000 students,
but do we have to add another more? In these
economic times is the Theatre/Auditorium Director
position a necessity? We already see ‘they’ have
added many items the town meeting voters have
vetoed – where did that ‘field house’ come from?”
“Thumbs up to the town of Windham
department heads for finding ways to keep the tax
rate from rising too much. Read the foreclosure
notices in the Union Leader every day and see
about four homes per month in Windham lost
to the inability of the home owner to pay the
mortgage. We wish the School Board would do
the same. WE know it takes 3-5 years to build a
school and the kindergarten is now a reality and
the State will only pay another two years. And
now says they will stop school building rebates
during 2010. The Board talks about numerous
alternatives but no direction other than up.
Prepare for more surprises in the March town
meeting when you see requests for two new
schools, while the high school will only be 75%
utilized for the next 2-3 years.”
“Thumbs down to Town Administrator Tom
Gaydos. Mr. Gaydos is the most unethical and
unprofessional town employee that I have ever
seen. Mr. Gaydos has been “managing” the
recent bid for waste removal at the town transfer
station, if you can even call it a ‘bid.’ After hiring
his friend Mr. Ron Hannon to serve as a consultant
during the negotiation process with the current
waste hauler, Mr. Hannon decided to recommend
the town go out to bid for the services. At this
time, Mr. Hannon then decided to submit his own
bid, after sitting at the table with executives with
the current hauler for months and receiving inside
pricing information. It is no coincidence his bid
was MUCH lower then all other bidders, then the
selectmen threw out all the bids due to a conflict
of interest. Again, no coincidence that Mr.
Hannon was then hired as the new transfer station
attendant. This is back room bush league politics
that need to stop in our town, this has been going
on for too long and needs to stop NOW. It’s about
time Mr. Gaydos is removed from his position of
power that he continuously abuses.”
“Thumbs down to thinking Mahoney and Dube
are for the taxpayers! They have both cost this
town MILLIONS! If they succeed in lying once
again and shoot down a new school, Mahoney
and Dube will cost Pelham taxpayers over $10
MILLION DOLLARS!! Could you imagine how
bad it would be if the other party was elected and
they had control of the board! ‘Thumbs up’ to
Cindy, Eleanor and Deb for having common sense
and having to put up with the other two!!”
“Thumbs down to the terrorist who did not
know that Obama is our president. Obviously we
SNOW PLOWING
Driveways
Pelham & Windham
603-401-8408 603-898-0902
need to have the Democrats in Washington pass a
new law requiring that all terrorist be notified that
Obama is now the President and that the world
now loves us. This community organizer who
tried to blow up the jet landing in Chicago could
not possibly have known that this was Obama’s
home. After all the world is now a better place.
Hey lets all sing Kumbya!”
“Thumbs down to the person who said ‘I want
to wish everyone who decorated their house for
Christmas a Merry Christmas.’ What about poor
people? What about Jewish people? What about
people who can’t afford to decorate? You can’t
wish us a merry Christmas? We aren’t supposed
to have a Merry Christmas? I thought that was a
pretty shallow remark. So, Merry Christmas to
the rich people and the poor
people.”
“Thumbs down, way down
for class sizes in Windham.
For those who complain about
taxes which we all do, our
property values will continue
to sink with a mediocre school
system. We have a beautiful
new school but the dollar
should have been spread
around to all the schools.
Hire more teachers and less
administrators. Move another
grade up to the high school
to create space in the other
schools. The average school size is 18 in New
Hampshire and we have 24+ that’s just wrong.”
“Thumbs down to the Pelham pizza place next
to Walgreen’s as I got a fingernail in my pizza.
They wear no nets or gloves when preparing food.
They need to change that.”
“Thumbs up to all the hard working staff at the
Pelham Transfer Station! I have been taking my
trash there weekly for almost 5 years and those
folks are always helpful, and friendly. I have often
seen them go out of their way to assist folks who
need an extra hand. We often hear the only the
negative about town or state government workers.
Hats off to these folks for the consistent, hard
work that they do each day! Thanks guys!”
“Thumbs up, way up to my husband Dana!
He is such a hard working and loving husband!
I couldn’t ask for anything better in life. He is
my soul mate for life. Thank you my love for all
you do, and for just being you!!! We love you so
much! Love, Your Wife, Tyler, Sage, and Gypsy,
XO.”
“Thumbs up, way up to Workforce Housing in
Windham. It’s about time this is being considered
and I hope it goes forward. The people who
make your town “run” will be able to afford to
live where they work. That means your teachers
firefighters, police officers and the like will be
able to live in the town in which they work. Not
all folks make a six-figure salary. There are very
well educated, caring people, who take care of
your children and your property who would also
like to live in this town. If you are opposed to this
type of development - you should get your head
out of the sand or nose out of the air.”
“Thumbs up, two big ‘thumbs up’, to the event
coordinators at Searles Castle, especially Scott
and Shaun, for their wonderful attention to
detail on the New Year’s Eve party. Job well done
gentlemen. Everyone had a fabulous night! Thank
you!”
“Thumbs up to the Windham planning board
for quickly approving the permit for Pennechuck
Water to install a new emergency generator to the
Goldenbrook pumping station on Sharon Road.
The permit was granted Dec 9th. It has been 3
weeks and Pennechuck has not called the town
for an inspection (which they must do before they
can operate the emergency generator). THREE
WEEKS - what are you waiting for Pennechuck?
SPRING?? Why was the permit not requested
until November 2009 when you abandoned your
Goldenbrook customers during the ice storm in
Dec 2008? I understand no one wants to pour a
slab and install a generator in this winter weather
- but you could have done in better conditions if
you had not waited 11 months to pull the permit!
Fellow Goldenbrook customers - please call
Pennichuck 882-5191 and ask when your family
will be protected by the new generator.”

Thumbs Down?
“Thumbs down to the Pelham school board and
their never-ending deep pockets with taxpayers
money. What’s with the new high school sign.
We are not in Times Square. Once again, who
gives the school board the right?”
“Thumbs up to a new high school on new land
for Pelham. It’s good for the kids and good for the
community.”
“Thumbs down to the PSB member who
for some reason can not seem to recall a few
facts....1st to correct you Windham built their
school on land that had ledge and yes did cost
them an extra 13 million BECAUSE, the some of
the people of PELHAM chose not to vote for a co-
op school with them, which BTW the land was
on Tallant Road which was in PELHAM, so they
had to then find their own land, and MISS PSB
member , if you now have a chance to think about
this we would have SPLIT the cost of this school
and the school would be in OUR own town and
OUR children would be right now reaping the
benefits from a larger school providing them with
great educational choices and sports team.....
so maybe for once why don’t you just keep your
opinion to yourself and let the people of Pelham
do what is right for our children, because I’m sure
these kids must be so proud to be going to a HS
that will be loosing its accreditation in the next
few months all because of people like you who
keep delaying progress to further their needs.#2
if you just keep putting a band-aid on a dirty
infected cut it will not heal but instead will need
surgery to fix it, well our Middle school and High
school have been infected long enough time for
some surgery......I for one want my children to
have some pride in their school , not wonder if its
going to crumble around them.#3 did you actually
know that the kids that go to the HS actually call
it the “cardboard box” they keep waiting for a
good storm to just blow it down cause they can
feel the drafts in all the rooms....does that just give
you a warm and fuzzy feeling ..Miss School Board

“Thumbs down to the two Pelham school
board candidates who claim they will bring smart
business management and fiscal responsibility to
the Board. They both strongly favor wanting the
taxpayers, who are struggling and out of work
and losing their homes, to spend $2 million for
land that is worth only $730,000 so we can spend
another $42.5 million to build a new high school.
If that’s fiscally responsible and is the best for our
community, then god help us all.”
“Thumbs down again. How many times do you
need to hear it from the taxpayers. NO NEW FIRE
HOUSE. I urge all taxpayers to read your Town
Report and see where your money is being spent
then go out and VOTE. The fire web site website
numbers show call volume is down these numbers
include all calls (not just the emergencies) 3-4
calls in 24 hrs is not busy. Firefighters if you
don’t like your workplace no one is holding you
here. BTW the foundation on Nashua Rd was
an excellent save. You are tarnishing the history
of a department which was founded on giving
to the community NOT TAKING from it. We the
taxpayers can contract an Ambulance Service
who will provide the same level of medical care,
revoke the Fire Department charter and bring back
the all call fire department at tremendous savings.
Just a thought of what could happen. So take
what is given and stop whining.”
“Thumbs down to the people who are
criticizing President Obama’s work in office so far.
All you whiny republicans don’t realize that he
had to fix your precious Bush’s mistakes. It’s not
that easy to fix the disaster Bush created. Yes the
economy is an issue right now, but figure out ways
to cut back. Don’t spend your money on useless
items you don’t need. That’s what is bringing us
down. Stop making fools of yourselves and grow
up.”
“Thumbs down to UN/IB Curriculum at
Windham High School. Windham residents
beware: You will soon be asked to PAY from your
education tax dollars a program that will allow
the Marxists from the UN to take over your new
high school. Please look into it and don’t let it
happen!”
“Thumbs down to the BudCom member

question the High School Principle on her

we counted the votes TWICE. This was a lame
attempt to pretend you cared. If you cared, you
would support long-term economical solutions
not play petty games.”
“Thumbs up. J and S, so proud of you both.
Doing well in school and sports. A mom could
not have asked for better children, I love you with
all of my life.”
“Thumbs down to Mr. Manley the principal at
the WHS. You’re so adamant about enforcing the
‘hat’ policy at the high school and confiscating the
hats and caps of the students. Why aren’t you as
concerned about the drugs!! Every morning and
afternoon the same group of freshmen go out to
the woods and gets stoned. You only have 300
students now. What are you going to do when the
school is full? And why do you need an assistant
principal in a 300-student school? Is he in charge
of enforcing the cell phone policy”
“Thumbs up to the Admiring Elf who left me
a very nice Christmas gift on my doorstep. Your
thoughtfulness and generosity is very much
appreciated. Happy New Year!”
“Thumbs up to the past and present Pelham
Windham Razorback Board VOLUNTEERS! You
have all worked and will work very hard for our
children. Thank you.”
“Thumbs down to the PSB member who chose
to again voice her negative views in the local
papers about why she just can never seem to be in
favor of our children’s educational needs! Anyone
with even some common sense knows that at
some point we need to fix the building issues
with our schools and yet for the last 5 years she
has repeatedly turned many voters from doing the
right thing . Had we gone with Windham , our
children right now would be in a brand new high
school on Tallant Road, (by the way, the land is
in OUR town) instead many chose to follow HER
advice and vote against it and all the other options
, so now we are left with a HS that within the
next few months will surely lose its accreditation,
(wow, our children must be so proud to be
attending this school), our middle school is so
overcrowded and yet teachers are expected
to provide quality classroom time to over 35
students, and yet somehow THIS school board
member can’t seem to support anything.......makes
me wonder where she got her education.......many
it was a school that had no accreditation also.....”
“Thumbs down to teachers and administrators
who do not keep their websites up-to-date.”
“Thumbs down to the SAU, PSB and Pelham
Memorial Administrators for not planning an 8th
grade graduation. This is a tradition. Why are you
taking it away? Please do not cancel graduation
for our 8th graders. They deserve it!”
“Thumbs up to the recent removal of the
middle school classroom aide. Years ago my kids
mentioned to me inappropriate remarks this aid
made. Don’t let it continue school board.”
“Thumbs up to Cassidy for winning the state
gymnastic champ. Congratulations and good
job.”
“Thumbs down to Pelham’s televised imaginary
school proposal from Imaginary land all for
imaginary money. All because ‘I said so.’ Pelham
voters, vote that we are not all stooges we
voted no before vote no again. Thank you Miss
Mahoney and Miss Dube.
“Thumbs down to the democrat talking
about republican’s whiny comments. The most
incompetent president since Jimmy Carter is
running this country into the ground. With
backdoor payoffs to pass national health care that
no one wants, giving terrorists trials in civil courts
instead of military tribunals. And yet yourself
and other democrats are still focused on Sarah
Palin. You all need to start updating your resumes
because after the next election the party will be

Lowell Takes Two of Three Again
The Lowell Devils took two out of
three decisions for the second straight
week, but fell into third place in the
Atlantic Division. Playing their first-
ever regular season game at Prudential
Center in Newark, NJ, the Devils
skated past the Hartford Wolf Pack,
3-2, on Wednesday. Lowell fell, 3-2,
in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Friday,
but rebounded with a 3-2 victory
at Binghamton on Saturday. Now
owning a record of 23-15-3-0, the
idle Devils saw the Worcester Sharks
leapfrog into second place in the
standings on Sunday.
Lowell prepares this week for its
second four-game, five-day stretch
of the season. The Devils open on
Tuesday in Portland before returning
home to face the Syracuse Crunch
on Wednesday. Lowell heads north
on Friday to take on the Manchester
Monarchs and then hosts the Pirates
on Saturday afternoon at the Tsongas
Arena.
Rewind:
pulled the Senators within a goal with
his first multi-goal game of the year.
Around the Horns:
The Devils’ 22-15-3-0 record at the
halfway point of the season schedule
was an all-time franchise best…Friday’s
loss to Wilkes-Barre was Lowell’s first
in regulation when scoring first on
the road (7-1-1-1) … Lowell ended
Binghamton’s streak of nine straight
games scoring a power play goal …
The Devils were outshot 54-20 in third
period over three games last week ...
Lowell has the second-best first period
goal differential in the AHL at +17
(42-27) … Matt Taormina leads all
AHL rookies and defensemen with 19
power play points (6g-13a) … Mike
McKenna stopped a team season
high 47 shots on Saturday, including
a league season best 25 in the third
period.
Coming Up:
The Devils face the Pirates for
the fourth and fifth meetings in the
eight-game season series. Portland
