The Town of Windham has known for 10 years just what an

extraordinary person and educator Jared Cassedy, director of Fine
Arts for the Windham School District, is. Now Cassedys individual
achievements are being recognized on the national level as on
Friday, Sept. 26, the CBS Morning News announced Cassedy had
moved forward into the top-25 semi-nalists for the Music Educator
Award, presented by the Recording Academy and the GRAMMY
Foundation. In order to celebrate this achievement, Windham
High School Principal Ryan Kaplan, along with WHS Concert Band
parents, students, district administrators and faculty, threw a surprise
party for Cassedy on Friday, Oct. 3.
Kaplan and his team strategically planned the surprise to take
place during Cassedys Concert Band period. School administrators
kept him busy in an urgent meeting at the SAU. Cassedy kept
trying to leave, but as he later reported, the administrators at the SAU
would simply say, No its ne, its ne; Ive got something to tell
you! Cassedy, always extraordinarily punctual, was more than a
little concerned.
Meanwhile, students, parents, faculty, and staff were decorating
the band room with balloons and streamers and setting up a potluck
lunch. Kaplan kept his phone close by, waiting for the call from
the SAU that Cassedy was on his way. When the call came, the
room went silent, the lights went off and everyone gathered by the
door. Cassedy entered to raucous applause as his face lit up in pure
disbelief, repeating over and over this is ridiculous, oh my God. In
an impromptu speech he told everyone present, I cant even believe
this right now. I am beyond psyched and you make every day
here worth it. He added, Hopefully December (when the top 10
nalists and winner are announced) will come around and itll work
out, but, regardless, I feel like I am the luckiest person and band
director ever.
Kaplan went on to explain to the crowd that Jared Cassedy was
one of 7,000 nominees for this award. The award is open to music
educators across the United Sates, from kindergarten through
college. Kaplan told the audience that he remembered last year
coming into the auditorium while the band was performing and
immediately getting chills listening to
you all perform under Mr. Cassedys
direction. He commented that,
hearing the band perform last year
at Carnegie Hall for the National
Band and Orchestra Festival thinking
there could be no more signicant
opportunity for a high school band.
However, he remarked, this was
before news had broken that the WHS
Concert Band had been accepted
as one of eight bands in the nation
to attend the Music for All National
Festival, which the band will be
performing in March of 2015. He
called Cassedy the one man who
continually puts this band from small-
town Windham, New Hampshire, on
the national stage.

School Board
Accepts BIG
Rebate on Health
Premiums
by Barbara OBrien
Windham School Board members have unanimously
(5 to 0) accepted a $538,637 rebate on health insurance
premiums that the school district paid to the Local
Government Center this past school year. During the
October 7 public hearing on the issue, Superintendent
Winfried Feneberg said that the rebate was unanticipated.
The LGC was court-ordered last year to return excess
health premiums collected from towns and school
districts across New Hampshire. Additional funds were
returned to both the town side of government and the
Windham School District last year.
Windham School Board Member Ken Eyring
questioned whether or not a public hearing was required
for the school district to accept the rebate. Eyring
wondered whether accepting the rebate during a public
hearing would allow school administrators to expend
the unanticipated funds without further action from the
school board, rather than return the money to taxpayers
at the end of the 2014-2015 school year, which ends on
June 30, 2015.
Feneberg explained that the public hearing was only
for the purpose of accepting the rebate and that no other
action could be taken without further action from the
school board. If no other action is taken on the matter,
the money would be used to offset the 2015 Tax Rate.
We cant spend the money without further action from
the majority of the board, Feneberg said.
Chairman Jerome Rekart added, These funds are not
ear-marked for anything.
Voting in favor of accepting the more than half-
a-million-dollar rebate were Jerome Rekart, Dennis
Senibaldi, Michael Joanis, Ken Eyring and Rob Breton.
There was no input from the public during the hearing.

Yes, that is an overturned school bus at the Pelham Fire Station. For several weeks
now members of the Pelham Fire Dept. have been training with a discarded school bus.
Crews have been practicing lifting, stabilizing, and cutting the bus for several weeks
now. PFD has gotten a unique opportunity to use their air bags, shoring devices, and
cutting/spreading tools (Jaws of Life). Crews have also gotten a rsthand look at the
school bus construction as well as been able to manipulate the emergency hatches.
Although school buses are safe, and most injuries happen outside of the bus (children
crossing the street), the possibility of a crash is always present and rst responders need
to know how to handle such a sensitive and dangerous situation.
Pelham Fire found this to be a unique and eye-opening experience. PFD would like
to thank Woodys Auto who provided the bus and dropped it off to the re station. As
always, stay safe. It is our pleasure and privilege to serve you.

The renowned Dean College Theatre Department is proud to
announce Travis Sanders of Windham will have a principle role in the
production of The Crucible. The Crucible is a story which focuses
on a young farmer, his wife and a young servant girl, who maliciously
causes the wifes arrest for witchcraft. The farmer brings the girl to
court to admit the lie and it is here that the monstrous course of
bigotry and deceit is terrifying depicted. This exciting drama about
the Puritan purge of witchcraft in late 17th century Salem is both a
gripping historical play and a timely parable of our contemporary
society.

Pelham High School
Renovation Project:
September Update
submitted by Amanda Lecaroz, Pelham Superintendent of Schools
The month of September continued to show progress being made
on the PHS renovation project and provided new glimpses into what
the promising future holds for PHS.
On Sept. 5, Pelham celebrated the renovation projects ofcial
groundbreaking ceremony. For a community that waited over a
decade for this moment, the ceremony was a joyous and happy
occasion for so many in the Pelham community.
Architects from Lavallee Brensinger Architects updated the
interior and exterior designs for the projects nal design phase. The
renderings provide visuals from several vantage points and allow for
viewing of the buildings main faade, entrances, and courtyard.
Due to construction, the district tennis courts had to be shut down
for the season on Sept. 15. The Robinson Tennis Courts, provided by
a generous gift in trust to the Pelham School District back in 1976,
will be relocated from the back of PHS to across the street on 86
Marsh Road. The new tennis courts will be open for use this coming
spring.
With the moving of the tennis courts, it is the goal of the project
management team to give the playing elds in the back of PHS as
much time as possible to establish before the winter season in order
to allow for their full use in the fall of 2015.
As the design and development phase and initial site work wind
down, the focus in the next few weeks will turn to the new addition
that will begin to rise in the front of the high school building.

Several weeks ago, Windham resident and former Selectman
Alan Carpenter tried to question school board members about
their reasons for not awarding the landscaping and snow removal
contract to the lowest bidder. He was told, at the time, that it
wasnt the appropriate time to discuss the issue. Not one to give
up, however, Carpenter showed up at the October 7 school board
meeting and again raised the question. He did not appear to be
satised with the vagueness of the responses.
Following a lengthy debate early this past spring on whether
to contract landscaping and snow removal services to an outside
vendor or to do the jobs in-house, the majority of school board
members nally decided to begin the bid process.
Three bid proposals were received by the deadline, ranging from
a low bid of $234,900 from D.J. Landscaping of Derry, to a high bid
of $312,000 from Clear Cut Landscaping, of Tyngsborough, Mass.
A third bid, less than the highest quote, but signicantly higher than
the low bid, was received from Boydens Landscaping of Pelham.
Boydens Landscaping, which has been doing the job for the past
few years, submitted a price of $302,900 for the 2014-2015 school
year. Boydens also has a contract with the town for landscaping
and eld maintenance.
Subsequently, following a non-public meeting on June 17, a
motion was made by Vice-chairman Dennis Senibaldi to award the
new contract to Boydens Landscaping for $302,900 for the rst
year of a three-year contract. The motion was seconded by board
member Ken Eyring. Boydens bid was $9,100 less per year than
that quoted by Clean Cut Landscaping, but $68,000 more per year
than the one submitted by D.J. Landscaping.
Following a brief discussion, school board members voted 3 to
2 to award the contract to Boydens Landscaping. Voting in favor
of the contract were Dennis Senibaldi, Ken Eyring and Rob Breton.
Voting against the motion were Michael Joanis and Chairman
Jerome Rekart.
Almost four months later, Carpenter nally got the chance to
inquire publically why the three school board members who
voted for the higher cost contract had done so. The contract
seems outsized, Carpenter said. Why was it worth so much
more money? Carpenter said the bid submitted by Boydens
Landscaping was about 25 percent higher than the lowest bid from
D.J. Landscaping.
Senibaldi, who voted in favor of the higher cost contract, said
some of the reasons for the decision couldnt be discussed in
public, due to a possible impact on reputations. The vendor that
was chosen can better handle the job, Senibaldi said, adding
that the company granted the contract has proven experience.
Senibaldi said he still feels he made the right decision, one that is to
the benet of the school district.
Rob Breton, who approved the contract with Boyden, also said
he felt his decision was in the best interest of the school district.
The cost is close to what was paid by the school district for
landscaping and snow removal in the past, Breton said.
Ken Eyring said it was a very difcult decision for him to make,
due to the signicant difference in the bid amounts, but that he still
felt the decision to go with Boyden was in the best interest of the
school district.
Mike Joanis disagreed, noting that over the three-year life of
the contract, the agreement with Boydens would cost the school
district approximately a quarter-million dollars more than the one
proposed by D.J. Landscaping.
Carpenter commented that he feels that all of the information
discussed in non-public this past June 17 should have been made
available to the public once the bid was awarded. Carpenter asked
school board members to consult with School District Attorney
Gordon Graham concerning the Right to Know issue.

SAU 95, which comprises the Windham School District, has
seen an increase in enrollment since the end of August, when
students returned for the 2014-2015 school year. According to
Superintendent Winfried Feneberg, as of October 1, there were 16
more students attending the districts four public schools, than there
were on August 28.
According to Feneberg, as of the beginning of October, there
were 593 students at Golden Brook School (kindergarten through
third grade); 730 students enrolled at Windham Center School (third
grade through fth grade); 703 students at Windham Middle School
(sixth through eighth grade); and 817 students at Windham High
School (grades nine through twelve). The total number of students
attending Windham public schools as of October 1 amounted to
2,843. This is up from 2,827 on the rst day of the new school
year.
The new enrollment (2,843) does not include any pre-school
students, who are currently housed in a section of Windham High
School, nor does it include any out-of-district special education
students.
The only question raised by school board members during
the enrollment discussion was whether or not the numbers
presented accurately placed the location of the third grade classes
temporarily housed at Windham High School. Approximately
half of the third graders were relocated to Windham High School
late last winter, after it was discovered that the mold problem in
the portable classrooms at Golden Brook School had not been
totally eradicated. Those classrooms have since been demolished.
Feneberg said that the 817 students reported as being enrolled
at Windham High School on October 1 do not include the third
graders currently housed there. The third graders are included in
the statistics for the elementary school level, he said.
The Windham School District Facilities Planning Committee
continues to meet weekly, working toward narrowing down the
potential choices for expanding school space. Currently, members
have whittled the choices down to three options. Plans are to hold
a public meeting on the issue later this month. Tentative dates
mentioned were Thursday, October 23 and Saturday, October 25.
Committee members are seeking public input.

Directors at Windham High School Replace Deans
by Barbara OBrien
Replacing the existing dean positions at
Windham High School with directors was a
controversial issue among school board members,
as well as a number of residents, earlier this
year. In fact, it was the hottest topic during
last Februarys annual deliberative session. The
dean positions had been in effect at the high
school since it opened in the fall of 2009. School
administrators rallied for the change of title and
accompanying job description for weeks, prior to
the changeover nally gaining sufcient support.
This is a repurposing of existing positions,
not new positions, Superintendent Winfried
Feneberg said last winter. The new directors (four
proposed the rst year) are tasked with overseeing
the implementation of the curriculum, which has
been vertically aligned from kindergarten through
twelfth grade. The people holding these director
positions are not members of the union and work
on a year-round basis. They are also teaching in
the classroom, while mentoring other teachers at
various times.
Three months after the director slots took
effect, two of those staff members met with
school board members to detail what their jobs
entailed. The four new directors, some of whom
were already employed by the Windham School
District, include Bethany Bernasconi (science),
Cathy Croteau (mathematics), Jared Cassedy (ne
arts) and Julie Lichtman (guidance). Bernasconi
and Croteau met with school board members on
September 30. Two dean positions have not yet
been converted to directors, those being English
and social studies/world languages.
During their rst few weeks as directors,
Bernasconi and Croteau rst conducted informal
observations with classroom teachers, then,
subsequently, engaged in full observations
and follow-up discussions with other faculty
members. The goal was to have conferences
with all teachers. The directors said one of their
duties is to assist with professional development
and to assure that goals are aligned in order
to promote collaborative teams and to employ
individual teacher expertise in assisting other
teachers. Constant feedback, in a timely manner,
is provided to teachers following observations,
Bernasconi said. Currently, the directors are
coaching ve new staff members. They are
also working with teachers at Windham Middle
School, creating mastery and introductory
benchmarks for students. Were helping teachers
to create assessments that challenge all levels of
students, Bernasconi commented.
Croteau noted that another of their tasks is to
provide support to teachers as the school district
moves from NECAP (New England Cooperative
Assessment Program) to the new Smarter Balance
Assessment. The directors are also in charge of
revising current course offerings to better reect
new and emerging career choices. This includes
accessing community-wide resources to expand
programs and create new course offerings.
Croteau said she is in the process of developing a
more in-depth accelerated mathematics program
for grades six and seven.
One topic that drew signicant discussion by
school board members was Croteaus comment
about Windham preparing for the State of New
Hampshires forthcoming requirement of at least
four years of math (or an equivalent course) during
high school. Currently, she explained, students
must take three years of mathematics, including at
least one credit of algebra. Alternative courses to
traditional math classes being considered include
statistics and personal nance. School board
member Ken Eyring said he feels that the bar is
set too low and educators need to push our kids
to over-achieve.
School board member Michael Joanis noted that
not all students are capable of performing at an
advanced level.
Superintendent Feneberg said the districts
mission is to push kids as far as they can go.
Its all about students and what they need,
Bernasconi said.
Its all about student achievement, Croteau
added.
Bernasconi continued by saying, Its our goal
to provide expertise in our content level. No
one ranked themselves at the top of their game in
everything, she said, referring to teachers own
assessments of themselves.
Theres always room for growth, Croteau said.
Its very empowering to share successes.
School Board Chairman Jerome Rekart, an
educator himself, noted that teaching is a
practice; theres always room for improvement.
Its to the employees benet to be coached in
the right direction, school board member Rob
Breton stated, adding that he is very impressed
with the way the plan is being executed.
Its long overdue, Breton said.
This is the best practice, Bernasconi said,
referring to the establishment of teaching/director
positions. Windham is on the forefront of this
movement, she told school board members.
Seventh Grade Trip to Camp Lincoln: A Lesson in Perseverance
submitted by TJ Patten,
Windham Middle School seventh grader
On Wednesday, September 24, on a chilly, windy,
morning, the Windham Middle School seventh grade set
out on an adventure.
We bounced along the highway in bright yellow
school buses for what felt like forever. When we arrived,
we saw a giant, wooden chair and a beautiful lake
covered in lily pads. We were welcomed by the head
counselor, who was dressed in a gray sweatshirt with
a vest, and black pants with entertaining purple and
gold socks tucked over them. I remember thinking that
she should have worn green and gold to show some
Windham spirit. She led us to a small area with benches
to sit on. We were surrounded by trees and the smells
and sounds of the forest.
Our counselors for the day introduced themselves, and
we were then broken out into four groups determined
randomly by the teachers. I was put in group A, with
Mrs. McCorkle, along with approximately 15 other
seventh graders that I knew, but not well. I felt nervous
about what I was about to encounter. I had been warned
about different parts of this trip and I was unsure that I
could complete the challenges.
Our rst challenge was the high ropes. Looking up,
I felt somewhat dizzy and concerned that I may need
a change of pants. We slowly made our way over to
the rock wall and cat walk. During the rock wall, I lost
my grip and ew backwards, but I was able to use my
momentum to grab back on! I pulled myself up, one grip
at a time and got to the bell - that didnt work! I had to
maneuver myself over to the right side and the other bell
(not an easy task), and was so very glad to hear
its beautiful sound, that I rang it ve times. I
shouted out the instructed phrase Falling! to
dismount and the person at the bottom replied
Fall away (that was the all-clear phrase).
The catwalk was next. The instructor ties a
safety rope to your harness, which is secured to a
zip line above the challenge. This safety feature
keeps you secure and allows the instructor to
hold on to you from the ground. A traditional
log ladder leads to hooks that allow you to
nish climbing up onto a wooden log. This log
runs horizontally from the ladder structure and
connects to the rock wall. Your challenge is to
balance along this log, high ve the rock wall,
travel back to the center of the log, turn and fall
backwards. You need to trust the rope harness will
do its job and that the instructor is paying attention.
I am happy to report both happened that day.
Overall, this trip was pretty fun. It took me out
of my comfort zone, allowed me to experience
something I havent done before, and showed me not
only is it always good to try new things, but also that I
can persevere through the most daunting of tasks and
not only come out on the other side but even do well. I
learned something about myself that day; Im pretty good
at balancing and climbing and Im proud of myself for
not allowing my fear to hold me back from trying. Im
also happy to say that I made a new friend! All in all, it
was a really great day, even if I have had incredibly sore
legs for the last two days, my trip to Camp Lincoln will
remain with me always.

Kristi St. Laurent will Provide
an Independent Vote
Please join me in supporting Kristi St. Laurent as the
successor to Jim Rausch in the State Senate. A licensed
physical therapist for over 20 years, Kristi deals with
people every day who need help. She doesnt toe the
party line but will provide an independent voice for the
frst time in years for Derry, Windham, and Hampstead
based on the needs of the voters right here, right now.
In education funding, all three towns in the district
are donor towns, in other words, towns which do not
receive all the funds they might be entitled to on a per-
student basis from the State of New Hampshire but
lose those funds to towns deemed more in need. Kristi
wants to restore that funding for the towns, while her
opponent, Regina Birdsell, has consistently voted in
favor of de-funding the public schools through such
initiatives as property tax abatements for parents who
send their children to private and charter schools. We
value our freedom of choice in New Hampshire, said
Kristi recently, but we all have a duty to support free,
fair, and equal access to public education.
Tats the kind of thinking I can get behind. Kristi
doesnt believe in special privileges for children in
charter schools or their founders, and supports school
choice, but not at the cost of de-funding the district.
In Windham, Kristi closely followed a locally-approved
charter school application that would have taken up to
$3 million out of Windham schools. Tats in addition
to the $2.7 million that the state already underfunds in
Windham, and the $800,000 the state underfunds in
Derry. We have to fx the funding formula.
Kristi is a fresh, fair, and balanced voice, and
someone who believes in representing the people of the
19th district by listening to their needs, not subscribing
to a national platform. Her dedication to others was
recently demonstrated by helping lead the Presbyterian
Church Youth Group on a mission trip to Haiti to help
build housing. We sometimes dont realize how blessed
we are in America. Tis was the most rewarding and
exhausting trip of my life, and I loved every minute of
it, she recently told a town forum. Its time we had
someone with a heart in Concord.
Im voting for Kristi on November 4. Wont you join
me?

A Sane Approach to Government
with St. Laurent
Kristi St. Laurent is running for NH State Senate and
I am excited stand behind her as both a personal friend
and also a fan of the way she does politics.
If you know Kristi, you know why I support her.
If you dont, it is simple. Since I frst met her, I have
appreciated her honest and direct responses to questions
about the Planning Board or about why she supported
one issue or another. I appreciate that she is open to
discussion about what is going on with our town and
about the direction she would like to see us going on a
state level.
Kristi is smart, pragmatic and understands how
government works and how to make it work for us. She
is socially conscientious and fscally responsible. For
Kristi, that means fxing the things that need fxing and
discarding what needs to go - all in a way that shows
that we are a moral, compassionate society that works
for the good of every citizen.
Kristi feels strongly about the need to strengthen our
education. She recently received endorsements from
the two leading teachers unions in New Hampshire, the
AFT-NH and the NEA-NH. She has also promised to
work to strengthen the states infrastructure, not just for
roads, but for energy supply and broadband access to
enable high-tech and manufacturing jobs.
As a registered Independent voter, I think its
important to look beyond the (D) and (R) and
know something about the person getting my vote.
For instance, Kristis opponent, Regina Birdsell of
Hampstead, has been a NH Representative and her
voting record shows that, among other things, she: 1)
voted against an act to ensure women receive equal pay
for equal work; 2) voted against restoring and raising
the minimum wage; 3) voted to lower the age teens
could drop out of high school; 4) voted to repeal the
license requirement to carry a gun in NH; and 5) voted
to allow employers to deny certain aspects of health care
according to their own personal beliefs.
With Kristi, there is a sane approach to government.
She will work to strengthen our infrastructure, refuses
to take pledges or money from any groups that force her
to follow their strict recommendations on how to vote,
listens to all sides, and will support the New Hampshire
way of life.
I know she will do a great job for us up in Concord.
Cathy Robertson-Souter, Windham
Avoid the Temptation to
Vote for an Incumbent
My name is Kristi St. Laurent and I am running for
the ofce of NH Senate, District 19 representing Derry,
Hampstead and Windham.
I have lived in Windham 15 years with my husband
Rob and our three children. I have been elected to the
Planning Board twice and I am serving my second year
as chair. I volunteer at the schools, with my daughters
Girl Scout troops and at church. I am a former resident
of Derry and a graduate of Pinkerton Academy (Class
of 85).
My family moved frequently while growing up, living
in fve states across the country before graduating high
school. My children, in contrast, have lived their whole
lives in the same home - with Nana and Bumpa the
next town over in Derry and cousins nearby. I treasure
their ties to New Hampshire and their sense of it being
home. I want to go to Concord to strengthen whats
working, fx whats broken and get rid of whats not
needed to keep New Hampshire the great place to live
that it is.
I support access to afordable health care. A healthier
workforce is a stronger workforce, and the increased
access to care will help to build jobs in our health care
sector. I support the attempt that was made for a
modest increase in the minimum wage, and for New
Hampshire to re-establish a minimum wage. I oppose
Right to Work because the protests I have heard are
promoted by outside groups, not New Hampshires
businesses or non-union employees in union shops. I
support public education. I do not support school
voucher tax credits structured to take public education
dollars to spend at private schools. I support practical
gun regulations such as a mental health background
check and I oppose removing the permit requirement
for concealed carry.
I support the increase in the gas tax to pay for the
completion of Interstate 93 as well as money for local
cities and towns for road and bridge repair. Tis
increase is borne by those who buy the gas and use the
roads and had not been raised in 22 years!
Finally, I do not support foolhardy tax and budget
cuts. Tere are several cases in point such as the
cigarette tax reduction that cost NH millions of dollars
yet was touted as a jobs bill and a revenue generator,
and cuts to the mental health and hospital budgets
such that the State was sued and we are now paying
more than we were before. I also oppose balancing
the budget on the backs of our cities and towns by
downshifting costs - as property tax payers we know
who pays for that.
In this election without an incumbent you may
be tempted to vote for the candidate with legislative
experience. I would suggest you closely examine just
what that legislative record reveals. I am the candidate
who will support responsible budgeting which will
protect services for our most vulnerable, access to
health care and public education while planning
for public-private partnerships in higher education
and infrastructure, energy provision and access to
technology to grow jobs and the economy. Please
visit my website www.krististlaurent.com for more
information.
Kristi St. Laurent, Windham
A Promise to Work
Honestly as State Rep
Tank you so much for your support of my
candidacy for State Representative. I promise to work
honestly on your behalf and to utilize my extensive
knowledge of government, tax policy and workforce
development for the betterment of the residents of
Hudson and Pelham.

Police Propose Additional School Resource Offcer
by Barbara OBrien
Windham Police Chief Gerald Lewis is including proposed
funding for a resource ofcer to begin working at Windham Middle
School, at the beginning of the 2015-2016 school year. After
presenting his idea to members of the Windham School Board, Lewis
received their unanimous support.
Currently, there is only one school resource ofcer in the
Windham School District; Ofcer Greg Iworsky, who spends most of
his time at Windham High School, but also works with students and
staff at the districts three other public schools. Chief Lewis rmly
believes that another school resource ofcer is needed. I believe
very strongly in continuing this endeavor, Lewis said. The position
has been very successful at Windham High School.
In addition to the support of school board members, Lewis said
he also has the support of Windham Town Administrator David
Sullivan. The proposal is still under consideration by Windhams ve
selectmen. Lewis encouraged school board members to discuss the
issue with selectmen and to indicate their support of the proposal.
Under Lewis proposal, the second resource ofcer would only need
to be funded for about half a year, since he or she wouldnt start
working until next summer.
The school resource ofcer is the busiest police ofcer in this
town, Lewis told school board members, during their meeting on
October 7. Among the issues being handled by Iworsky are illegal
drugs, ghts and trespassing. The high school
is a microcosm of the entire community, Lewis
explained. The school resource ofcer is more
than an enforcement tool, however, Lewis
stated. The school resource ofcer gets along
great with the students, he said. This is the
development of a strong relationship between
police and students; something we need to
begin at an early age, Lewis said; the earlier the
better.
Superintendent Winfried Feneberg, who is
now in his second year in that job, said he had
already discussed the proposal to add a second
resource ofcer at Windham Middle School with
Chief Lewis. Im very much in support of the
idea, Feneberg said, commenting that he views
the proposal as a preventative measure. If
there were two school resource ofcers working
in the school district, one would focus on the
high school and Windham Center School,
while the other would spend his or her time at
Windham Middle School and Golden Brook.
Having a school resource ofcer on site helps keep problems
small, Feneberg said. We view this ofcer as another staff
member, someone who is a very valuable resource for students
and staff. Feneberg described how Ofcer Iworsky interacts with
students on a daily basis, not just when a crisis erupts. He does a
lot of mentoring, Feneberg said. He is a true asset to the school
community.
In response to a question from school board member Ken Eyring,
who seemed somewhat hesitant to throw his support behind the
school resource ofcer program, Chief Lewis responded, In this day
and age, I would question why theres not an ofcer in every high
school. As for the second proposed ofcer, Lewis continued, The
school administration has been asking for this position for years.
There was a school resource ofcer at Windham Middle School
before the high school was built, Lewis said. In answer to a question
concerning what other school districts do, Lewis responded that all
area high schools have police resource ofcers in place.
Windham High School Principal Ryan Kaplan also expressed
support for the school resource ofcer program. This position helps
make a school as safe as it can be, Kaplan said, adding that the
school resource ofcer also serves in an educational role, offering
programs to students and teachers.
School board member Michael Joanis said that his experience in
dealing with the school resource ofcer has been 100% positive.
The school resource ofcer is deeply entrenched at the high
school, Joanis said. The benets far outweigh the cost.
School Board Vice-chairman Dennis Senibaldi said he believes
having a school resource ofcer on site helps to humanize the
police to students. Its another avenue for those who need to seek
help, Senibaldi said. Its a no-brainer, Chairman Jerome Rekart
added. I support this proposal completely.
School board members plan to send a letter to the board of
selectmen, expressing their unanimous support of funding a second
school resource ofcer; one whose main job would be to provide
services at Windham Middle School, a facility which houses
more than 700 students in grades six through eight. School board
members also said they would meet with selectmen in person, if
necessary.

With the cold weather fast
approaching, the Womans Service
Club of Windham held the rst
of two coat and sweater drives
Saturday, Oct. 4, at Windham Town

and sweaters to such charitable
groups as the Shepherds Pantry

Kitchen in Derry, the Adult Learning
Center in Nashua, and New
Horizons in Manchester.
Pat Russell, co-chair of the
womans group, reected on
the coat drive by saying, It is very
rewarding; we see and
hear a lot of sad stories
and we know rsthand
that our collection helps those in need.
If you missed the coat and sweater drive
they will be holding another one at town
hall in the rst weekend of November so if you have extra
or old winter coats please considering donating. It will

Windham Schools Explore the
Signifcance of the Constitution
Donations
Made to Athletic
Programs
by Barbara OBrien
Windham School Board members have
unanimously accepted several donations intended to
enhance athletic programs and facilities at the now
ve-year-old high school.
Windham High School has received a generous
donation in the amount of $3,500 from the Todd
Steffanides Jag Camp. These funds are to be used for
the boys basketball program.
In addition, the following organizations and
individuals donated funds to the Windham High
School Turf Fundraiser: Brandywine Technical
Partners, Inc. ($583), Capital Trading ($593), Darren
and Deanna Gaiero ($584) and Jeffrey and Rebecca
Kaplan ($593). An articial turf eld was not
included when the high school was built in 2009. A
group of volunteers has been trying to make that a
reality since the school opened.
Accepting the donations with gratitude were
Chairman Jerome Rekart, Vice-chairman Dennis
Senibaldi and school board members Michael Joanis,
Rob Breton and Ken Eyring.
High School Dress Code Getting Another Look
by Barbara OBrien
Constitution Day, a national recognition of the historic document on
which the founding principles of this country are based, was celebrated on
September 17. The occasion received more attention in Windham this year
as the result of a discussion held by members of the Windham School Board
the day before.
On September 16, the subject was brought to the forefront when John
Grecko, of Hampstead, approached the podium and questioned why school
administrators were not allowing him to donate pamphlet-sized copies of
the U.S. Constitution, a sufcient number to provide each student in the
school district with a copy. Grecko had donated 2,841 of these pamphlets
to the Windham School District in September of 2013. Grecko has three
grandchildren who attend Windham public schools, but has also distributed
the Constitutional pamphlets to numerous schools in other districts. Grecko
estimates that he has donated between 17,000 and 20,000 pamphlets during
the past several years.
Following a signicant amount of debate by school administrators and
those in attendance, the majority of school board members ultimately
decided to allow Grecko to make the donation and instructed staff members
to make the pamphlets available to all students. School board members said
they had not been aware of the denial prior to the September 16 meeting.
Two weeks later, on September 30, staff members from each of the four
Windham public schools came before the school board and offered a
synopsis of what was done at each grade level in regard to the United States
Constitution.
Superintendent Winfried Feneberg opened the remarks by explaining that
the Constitutional pamphlets were distributed school wide and offered to
all students during the week following the September 16 board meeting.
Feneberg expressed the school districts appreciation for Greckos generosity.
At Golden Brook School, which includes kindergarten through third grade,
teachers worked to make the United States Constitution relevant to the
districts younger students by emphasizing good citizenship. Students also
created classroom constitutions, spelling out class rules. As a homework
assignment, students were asked to create family constitutions.
At Windham Center School, which encompasses grades three through ve,
students, also wrote classroom constitutions. Students at these grade levels
also learned about symbols and traditions that are prevalent in the United
States. As a group activity, students read the Bill of Rights, with a focus on
the First, Thirteenth, and Nineteenth Amendments. The First Amendment,
which was ratied in 1791, guarantees freedom of speech, freedom of
religion, freedom of the press and the right to assemble peaceably in public.
The Thirteenth Amendment, which was ratied in 1865, abolished slavery
in the United States. The Nineteenth Amendment gave women the right to
vote. It was not adopted until 1920.
Windham Center School also conducted class elections for members of
the student council. During the weeklong celebration of the Constitution,
students also debated on the pros and cons of having freedom of speech.
At Windham Middle School, which includes grades six through eight,
students were encouraged to interact with their parents regarding aspects
of the United States Constitution. Discussions included the federal election
process and reections on the Preamble of the Constitution. Students also
wrote entries in their journals detailing freedoms that Americans have. A
group activity included composing a new law by which people would be
expected to abide. Students were also given the opportunity to identify
words in the Constitution that were unfamiliar to them. The United States
Constitution was said to be written at a college level. On a subject that is
currently very relevant, students engaged in a discussion regarding possible
ramications for people who either slander or libel another person through
social media.
At Windham High School, students traced the colonial roots of the United
States Constitution and discussed the impact of the document on todays
economy, helping to put the relevance of the Constitution into a modern-day
context. Emphasis was also placed on the seven guiding principles of the
Constitution, including popular sovereignty (rule by the people), separation
of powers into three branches, checks and balances, limited government,
republicanism (representatives elected by the people), federalism (sharing
of power between federal and state governments), and individual rights (as
protected by the Bill of Rights).
Feneberg noted that very rich instruction had been provided at each
of the districts schools and commented that he was very impressed with
the cognitive development, as the topic progressed through each grade
level. School board member Rob Breton acknowledged the manner in
which teachers had made the Constitution real for students. Thats just
awesome, Breton said.
In 2004, a federal law was passed requiring that each educational
institution that receives federal funds for a scal year shall hold an
educational program on the United States Constitution on September 17 of
such year for the students served by that educational institution.

Just over a year ago, Windham High School
established a new dress code, one that didnt sit
well with everyone involved, including a few
parents and some students. As a result, current
school board members have decided to solicit
additional input from those affected the most,
as well as their parents and other community
members. Two of the school board members
who voted to enact the existing dress code,
Stephanie Wimmer and Michelle Farrell, are no
longer on the board, having chosen not to seek
re-election this past March.
An overview of the dress code, which only
affects students at Windham High School, was
back on the agenda during the October 7 board
meeting. The main issues discussed included the
wearing of hats/bandanas in the building, as well
as the width of shoulder straps and the length of
skirts. Also included in the discussion was a ban
on the visibility of under garments, as well as the
wearing of tight yoga pants. The dress code, as it
stands, was intended to prevent wearing apparel
from being a distraction, thereby interfering with
the learning process.
Former school board member and parent Mike
Hatem had raised objections about the dress
code when it was rst proposed, stating that he
felt it discriminated against female students and
made them feel as if they were bad girls for
wearing certain clothing. Hatem was back at
the podium, again, during the most recent board
meeting, reiterating opinions he had expressed
previously. Hatem said he feels that the dress
code serves no purpose. There are no gang
colors being worn in Windham, Hatem said,
noting that the high school boasts a 100%
graduation rate to date.
Hatem also said having a dress code, such as
the one currently in place at Windham High,
is not a best practice. It objecties women
by saying youre bad to dress a certain way,
Hatem said. Government is telling Windham
how to dress their kids, he continued. Having
a dress code is not a required rule, he stated.
Hatem also said he feels that the school board is
alienating parents by humiliating students.
Windham High School Principal Ryan Kaplan
said safety is the most important issue at the
high school and that education is front and
center. The last thing I want to have to deal
with is the dress code, Kaplan said. However,
he continued, Its not my job to create policy,
but to carry it out. As for the enforcement of the
dress code last year, Ryan said there were some
staff members who felt things had become too
lenient. As a result enforcement was stepped
up at the beginning of the current school year,
Kaplan explained, with students being given
notice in advance. A fashion show was even
held at the beginning of the school year for
incoming freshmen, with older students modeling
appropriate apparel. An Alert Now message
was also sent to all high school parents informing
them about the dress code enforcement.
Kaplan said paper warnings were issued
to those who didnt comply with the dress
code during the rst week of school. There
was a signicant reduction in infractions the
next week, he said. During the last week of
September and rst week of October, there were
10 infractions documented, Kaplan told school
board members. The latest infractions were in
regard to the wearing of hats or bandanas in
the building, as well as the wearing of yoga-
style pants. It was noted, however, that the
administration is currently allowing students to
wear black yoga pants, but not other colors or
those with designs on them.
Superintendent Winfried Feneberg said that
there was a prior policy, but it was written before
the high school was even built, so didnt address
this particular age group. The existing policy
was formulated by former Superintendent Henry
LaBranche with signicant input from students.
Its largely a matter of common sense, Feneberg
said of the dress code. We dont intend for it to
interfere with the job of education. Feneberg
said that any students cited with an infraction
are gotten back to class as soon as possible. A
minimal amount of time is being spent on this
issue, he said.
School Board Vice-chairman Dennis Senibaldi
said he feels that the dress code is not objective
enough. Whats provocative to you might not
be provocative to me, Senibaldi said. Its
hard to dene. Theres too much subjectivity
involved, he added. Senibaldi said that hes not
saying the existing policy isnt a good one, but
that it could stand some tweaking. Senibaldi
suggested the topic be brought back again, in the
near future, and that public input be sought. He
suggested using the Survey Monkey format to
solicit anonymous opinions.
We have to be objective, school board
member Ken Eyring commented. We cant be
a nano-state, he said. We have to be respectful
of each familys culture or opinions. Who am I,
as a school board member, to encroach on that?
he asked. Eyring also said he doesnt understand
why there is a problem with wearing hats in the
school building. Maybe I need to be educated
on this issue, he stated. I dont want to be the
fashion police.
Will Carpenter, who serves as one of the two
student representatives to the school board,
agreed that the dress code seems to apply more
toward girls, than it does to boys. Of the 10
recent infractions cited, eight of them were to
female students. In reference to the possibility
of requiring uniforms at Windham High School,
Carpenter said he was very much against it.
The wearing of uniforms is not something that is
currently being considered.
School Board Chairman Jerome Rekart agreed
that the dress code should be kicked back to
the students for input. Citing a dress code policy
for the Timberlane School District, which was
presented by a parent, Rekart noted that dress is
primarily a parents responsibility not the school
districts. One parent in the audience, however,
commented that students can be appropriately
dressed when they leave home in the morning,
but can then change their clothes into something
totally different when they get to school.
School board member Rob Breton also agreed
that its a good idea to get more student input
on the issue. Their input is invaluable, Breton
commented.
Referring to the dress code and the need to
have it reviewed, Feneberg said, Its one of those
slippery issues that changes over time. School
board members will be bringing the subject
back to the table again at a future meeting, once
additional input has been gathered.

person for planning the event, read a speech written by Dr.
Andrew Boysen, Jr., professor of Music at the University of New
Hampshire and one of Cassedys mentors. Boysen called Cassedy,
a kind, thoughtful, intelligent, incredibly hard-working, and
insanely energetic teacher. He loves his students and always wants
to create opportunities for them. He is absolutely the kind of
teacher we in the profession all wish we could be.
DiPersio was followed by Steve Plocharczyk, the man who
hired Cassedy as the Windham Middle School Band director
when Plocharczyk was principal of the school. He said that at
the time they were hiring for the position, we were in need of a
band teacher, someone that could put together a program that had
quite frankly suffered a bit. So what we were looking for was an
experienced educator. He was young, no experience, and when I
looked at the resume you know I said theres promise here.
The rst thing he noticed was Cassedys incredible enthusiasm.
At the time, Plocharczyks largest concern was
that such a young teacher would not be able to
manage middle school students, which is sort of
like herding cats, he said. Yet, Cassedy managed.
He established early on a routine, expectations,
all of those things And within (two years), the
program, which was a mediocre program, became
an amazing one, Plocharczyk explained. When
Windham High School was built, Cassedy took on
the position of band director at the high school.
In jest, Plocharczyk says, He didnt become this
good all by himself. I hired him. He continued,
in seriousness, He was able to prosper because
of this community.
Christina Raymond, parent of Windham High
School graduate, Timothy, took the oor from
there. She and Timothy had nominated Cassedy
for the award last year. Raymonds father made
her aware of the award after seeing it presented
on TV. This is my dad, who has come to every
concert, from sixth grade on, said Raymond. I
thought that was kind of a unique perspective,
and of course talking to Timmy, it was hands
down absolutely were going to do this. And the
rest is sort of history.
Marty Claussen, band director at Salem High School, and
Cassedys high school band director, was also invited to speak at
the event. To give the students perspective on what kind of person
Cassedy was in high school, he asked a series of questions. Is
he super-organized? Is he always on time? Is he a good
conductor? When youre walking down the hallway, and he sees
you, can he tell just by the look on your face if youre having a bad
day? Can he sense that and say hey, lets talk about it?
All of these questions, the students at WHS answered
afrmatively: according to Claussen, Cassedy has not changed
much since high school. He left the students with this message:
You are super lucky because this is a person that 20 years from
now, for most of you, it might not make that big a difference if
you know how to nger a note or if you know how to set your
embouchure, or what the proper hand movement for a am is
or something, those things, he uses music as a tool because he
teaches you life. That is what this man does.
Students then had the chance to get up and speak, and their
sentiments were just as heartfelt as those previously spoken. Drew
Hutchings, a junior at WHS, said, Music for me is just kind of
magical and what Mr. Cassedy does is he takes something and he
inspires you to do it. And he inspires me to do magical things. If
you can inspire magic, that is just something so crazy.
Cierra Cowan, another junior, tells the story when I was having
the worst day that Ive had in a while and at the end of the day I
came into the band room and I just starting having a conversation
with him, and all of a sudden, I was having a good day.
Freshman Leo Ducharme was the last to speak, opening with
Ive been here about a month, and going on to express his joy
that Cassedy is a perfect teacher for me. Ive started playing
tuba for about a month, granted Im not as good as the other tuba
players, but hes really helped me out.
Cassedy is an incredible asset to the Windham High School
music program and the community wishes him the best of luck
going forward. Cassedy is not only a fantastic band director, hes
also a really good friend said WHS junior Kaley Missert.
Even if he doesnt make it further in the GRAMMYs, hes won in
Windham, added Cowan.

It is that time of year to raise awareness about re danger and to remind people to change the
batteries in their smoke detectors. As a way to kick off Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 6-12, the Windham
Fire Department held their annual open house on Saturday, the 4th, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Since moving into the new re department in 2000, the Fire Prevention Week Open House has
grown bigger and better every year. Of the many fun activities planned, such as the vehicle re
demonstration that excitingly ignited the audiences imagination and much-anticipated Chili Cook Off,
kids and parents alike could be seen learning about the life-saving equipment. Besides the equipment
from Windham Fire Department, other interesting tools of the trade were provided by Salem who
brought their re prevention smoke trailer and courtesy of Manchester Fire Department whose arson
dog won the hearts of many in attendance.
By being able to speak with the public, these brave reghters can inform citizens how to react when
a re happens. To most adults it is
instinct to try and put the ames
out, but WFD strongly advises all
occupants to immediately evacuate.
As for the youngsters, who often
hide out fear, they are given the
same advice. Seeing the reghters
put on their gear can transform them
into unidentied gures to be feared
in the eyes of many children, so it is
important that they learn not to be
afraid of uniformed reghters who
may be looking for them during a
re.
Although it was an overcast day,
the rain held off leaving attendants
dry, informed, and feeling full from
the 11 types of delicious hot chili
prepared for the cook-off.

Rick Hammar said it best. Paul Scott was like
George Bailey from Its a Wonderful Life. I am
not sure he realized the many lives he touched.
Family and friends gathered at the Goundrey &
Dewhirst Funeral Home on Monday, October 7, to
remember and celebrate the life of Paul Raymond
Scott. Scott passed on October 1, 2014.
Born February 28, 1935, in Cambridge, Mass.,
Scott grew up without the benet of a strong
father gure. Raised by his maternal grandmother,
Scott went on to graduate with honors from
Rindge-Tech High School and was awarded a
scholarship to the Massachusetts College of Art.
He went on to take classes at the Boston Museum
of Fine Arts.
Scott served in the Army Reserve for six years
before his honorable discharge in 1957. He went
on to become a minister, pastoring at the Good
News Chapel in Stoneham, Mass., and working
the Evangelical Circuit throughout New England.
He married Josie Ruth Hawk, and together, they
had four children: Raymond, Daniel, Gail and
Richard.
An artist by trade, Scott came to work for
Hammar & Sons designing signs in 1976 and
moved to Pelham soon thereafter. The business
was run from the Hammar house, and Scott
easily became a part of the family. In fact,
Scotts daughter, Gail, babysat for Rick Hammars
daughter, Brianna.
Scott enjoyed music and encouraged his
children. His son Richard recalls Scott coming
home from work, reading the paper and listening
to his favorite country musicians on the stereo.
A minister and a natural teacher, many came
to respect Scott for his determination, sense of
humor and his wisdom.
We worked side by side, remembered Rick
Hammar. He described sitting on benches,
competing to see how many signs they could
paint in an hour. We got close over the years.
As time went on, Scott
and the Hammars could
be found together hunting,
shing and later, ghting
against the town landll.
The Scott family lived
down Simpson Mill Road.
At the end of Scotts street,
Stanley Roketenetz had
been granted a town
contract to dispose of
local waste, which over
time, had been expanded
to include waste from
Seabrook Nuclear facility.
Ordered by the State Public
Health Department in
1974-1975 to operate a
sanitary landll, it was clear
to Scott and others that
the company was not in
compliance.
What started as no more
than 10 trucks per day
increased up to 60 trips up
and down the road. The
trucks, ignoring their 2:30
closing time, traveled quickly on the back road,
dropping waste as they passed. After school,
his kids rode their bikes on the street and were
nding medical waste on the road.
Scott was concerned. He was no politician,
but he knew that the dumping was hurting his
family and his neighborhood. He and his wife,
Josie, took their complaints to town hall, showing
up at selectmen meetings. Eventually, selectmen
investigated the claims, and further dumping was
terminated.
Following this victory, neighbors encouraged
Scott to run for a
Selectman position.
He easily won his
seat in 1996, and a
few months later, was
appointed to be Vice
Chairman.
Selectman William
McDevitt recalls
serving on the board
with him. Paul Scott
was on the board
when I rst became
selectman and for
many years thereafter,
McDevitt said. Paul
was passionate about
the things in which he
believed. He always
reected his concerns
for the people in the
way he voted. As a
local small business
owner, Paul understood
the struggles some
small businesses often
face and reected this
in the way he dealt with local issues. Paul was
popular with the voters and was re-elected many
times because they appreciated his concern for
their issues and his willingness to work tirelessly
on their behalf.
Unfortunately, despite the success in shutting
down the landll, it seemed that the damage was
already done.
Scott lost his wife and sons Raymond and Daniel
to disease. He and his daughter, Gail, strongly
believed that the waste from the dump had
leached into the drinking water, causing his family
to succumb to illness. Others from that part of
town also claimed there was something funny
about the water.
Friends recall how he could have easily become
bitter following the deaths of his sons and his wife.
And yet, his faith carried him on. If anything, he
was more determined to live his life to the fullest,
cherishing every day.
Scott continued to pursue his art, with his own
business, Artistic Designs by Paul Scott. When
the business closed, Scott moved to Nashua.
He loved to work with students, his nieces and
grandkids to learn more about art.
His work was featured at the Pelham Public
Library as part of the Artist of the Month program.
Many turned out to see their long-time neighbor
and friend.
As Scott got older, his eyesight began to fail.
He could no longer drive. And he had health
complications. But he was determined to do
things for himself.
Grocery shopping took on a whole new level of
risk, according to his daughter.
He insisted on pushing the cart himself and
picking out his items. Child or elderly person in
the aisle, it didnt matter. They were going down,
she laughed.
Ernest Hemingway said, Every mans life ends
the same way. Its only the details of how he lived
and how he died that distinguish one man from
another.
From the life of Paul Scott, it is obvious that
he was full of life, determination and love. His
remaining children, Gail and Richard, speak
warmly and with great pride of the man they
remember as their father. Their Dad. Their Poppy.

Commissioner of Education, Virginia M. Barry,
Ph.D., recently recognized 24 districts, schools,
and educators that are aspiring toward excellence
in providing the best educational opportunities
for NH children. These awards build community
awareness of the states nest schools and districts,
while providing positive messages about the
teaching profession.
In order to keep our economy moving in the
right direction, we must provide a rigorous and
robust education at every step of the way and
ensure that our workforce develops the skills
and innovative thinking necessary for success
in 21st century jobs, Governor Maggie Hassan
said. These districts, schools and educators
are outstanding leaders in our ongoing efforts to
ensure that our states young people are ready
for the innovation economy, and I thank them for
their efforts.
According to Commissioner Barry, The future
prosperity of our state is dependent on our
educational system and I am proud to say that as
I travel throughout the state and visit countless
schools, I continue to be proud of what we
accomplish in New Hampshire. These awards
would not be possible without the forward
thinking of our NH educators and I am pleased
to honor schools and districts that demonstrate
innovative and successful educational practices to
support our students future.
The Commissioners Circle of Excellence
recognized the promising work of six League of
Innovative Schools, a part of the New England
Secondary School Consortium. Among them is
Campbell High School. Each of the six schools
spent a week at a design institute this summer and
are now working closely with a coach to rene
and develop their design.
The 2015 NH Teacher of the Year, Elizabeth
Lichtenberg, is a fourth grade teacher at Alton
Central School. The following are past award
recipients: Joey Lee, 2014, a social studies
teacher at Pinkerton Academy; Heidi Welch,
2013, a music teacher at Hillsboro-Deering
High School; and Bethany Bernasconi, 2012, a
science teacher at Windham High School. These
teachers are the best and provide children with
incredible opportunities to learn and grow. Each
year, New Hampshire schools take part in the
State and National Teacher of the Year Program.
It is the mission of the National Teacher of the
Year Program, which recognizes and honors
the contributions of the American classroom
teacher, is the oldest and most prestigious honors
program to focus public attention on excellence
in teaching.
Promotion of recognition awards goes a
long way toward keeping New Hampshires
teachers engaged and excited about education.
By recognizing the importance of outstanding
educators we hope to inspire continued
conversation about what works to support our
children to graduate college and career ready.
Nothing touches more lives, or gives more
promise to the future than education.

Key Considerations for Family-friendly
Bathroom Renovations
(BPT) - Mom rules the media room,
Johnny loves the basement workshop
and the kitchen is Dads domain. Gender
roles notwithstanding, each family mem-
ber has one room where he or she enjoys
spending more time. One room, however,
is equally used and loved - or reviled - by
all: the bathroom.
If youve decided to renovate a
bathroom that no one wants to use,
its important to keep family-friendly
upgrades in mind. Approximately
4.3 million American households are
multi-generational - with grandpar-
ents, parents and children living
under one roof - according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Its more important than
ever to keep the needs of all family members in mind when undertaking a reno-
vation project, especially in a key room like the bathroom.
Here are a few areas for attention when youre upgrading a bathroom
for the whole family:
Safer, more satisfying showering
If your family has older members, grab bars in the shower are neces-
sary for safety. They can also be helpful for youngsters learning to man-
age the shower on their own. A safer shower doesnt end with grab bars,
however. Have you ever considered the safety - not to mention ease of
use - of the shower door?
New technology from Sterling improves the usability and safety of
an often-overlooked part of the shower experience - the door track. The
ComforTrack is a exible bottom track that bends under applied pressure,
making it easier and more comfortable to bathe a child (or pet) and virtu-
ally eliminating the unpleasant scrapes that con occur with metal tracks.
The durable track is also simpler to clean, making it friendlier for the family
member cleaning the bathroom.
Since durability and cleaning ease are essential in bathrooms that see
a lot of use from multiple generations, consider a shower unit that installs
without the hassle of caulking, reduces leak risks and reduce maintenance and clean-
ing time. Shower surrounds like Sterlings
new Ensemble Medley product are simple
to install - within the abilities of most DIYers
- and easier to clean. Whats more, the
material is stain and scratch-resistant, so it
can stand up to use by the most demanding
bathers, including the family dog.
To further enhance safety in the shower,
install slip-resistant ooring and consider a
device that prevents unexpected temperature
changes - and potential scalding - in showers
and faucets.
Lightening up for everyone
Like any room in your home, the bath-
room benets from layers of lighting. Over-
head lighting should keep the room well illuminated for showering and bathing, when
you need more light. Lighting around and/or above the mirror is essential for detail
work, like applying makeup or shaving.
Youll also want sources of gentler light for nighttime bathroom visits. Keeping lights
low can help make it easier for bathroom users - especially young children - to return
to sleep. Dimmers control the intensity of overhead lights, or a simple nightlight may
be sufcient to preserve safety and sleep. Natural light can be a welcome addition to a
bathroom. Privacy is always a concern, so consider window frosting or even a skylight
to admit natural light while preserving modesty.
Making it personal for all
In bathrooms where people share space, its important to make everyone feel at
home. Giving each person a dedicated storage spot (such as a shelf, cubby or a cabinet
bin beneath the vanity) ensures he or she will feel at home and the bathroom will
stay organized. You can further enhance the welcoming feeling by including personal
touches like monogrammed towels, his-and-hers accessories or even framed art created
by the kids.
The kitchen will probably remain the heart of the home, but the bathroom will never
lose its vital spot in the lives of American families. If you renovate yours with an eye
toward making it more family-friendly, your home-improvement dollars will be well
spent - and your family happier.
Avoid a Blizzard of Bills
with These Energy Effciency Tips
(BPT) - Falls cooler temperatures are on their way, if you havent
felt them already. And when you feel that rst chill, your natural
response is to reach for the thermostat. Many people do the same
thing, sacricing energy efciency in the name of comfort. But you
can have both. October is Energy Awareness Month, and to cel-
ebrate, here are ve ways you can conserve energy in your home
now and throughout the cooler months ahead without sacricing
comfort.
* Keep the cold out and the warm in. Air that leaks through your
homes envelope - the outer walls, windows, doors, and other open-
ings - wastes lots of energy and money. In fact, sealing air leaks
and adding insulation can provide up to a 20 percent savings on
your heating bills. Simple xes include installing weather stripping
on doors and caulking around windows, while bigger jobs might
include sealing leaks and adding insulation in your attic.
* Heat your home efciently. As much as half of the energy used
in your home goes to heating and cooling. Maintaining your HVAC
system can have a big impact on your utility bills this winter - and
your comfort. Check your furnaces air lter once a month, espe-
cially during the heavy-use months of winter. If its dirty, clean or
replace it. At a minimum, clean or replace it every three months.
A dirty lter slows air ow, making the system work harder which
wastes energy. A clean lter helps prevent dust and dirt build-up in
your system, which can lead to expensive maintenance and/or early
system failure and replacement. Also consider a yearly professional
tune-up of your HVAC system. Lastly, sealing and insulating air
ducts can improve your HVAC systems efciency by as much as 20
percent.
* Invest in energy-efcient appliances. Every appliance comes
with two price tags: the purchase price and the cost of operating
the product. By selecting ENERGY STAR certied appliances, you
can save up to 35 percent on energy costs, according to the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Clothes dryers are the new-
est category, and represent signicant savings opportunities. One of
the most advanced units available this fall is LGs EcoHybrid dryer,
the rst on the market to use heat pump technology to recycle heat,
reduce energy usage, and ultimately save you money. This technol-
ogy works with select cycles to reduce your energy consumption
by as much as 50 percent when compared to conventional dryers.
This dryer has earned the EPAs 2014 Energy Star
Emerging Technology Award, which recognizes
the most innovative technologies that reduce en-
ergy use and help consumers reduce their carbon
footprint.
* Make bright choices for lighting. Many of us
have heard about the outstanding energy efcien-
cy provided by LED lighting. But LED bulbs are
not all the same when it comes to performance.
To get the energy efciency and performance
you expect, look for the ENERGY STAR label.
LED bulbs that earn the label are independently
certied to ensure they deliver on brightness and
color, and shine light where you want it. And,
of course, dont forget to turn the lights off when
you leave the room.
* Save energy while enjoying football season.
You can even save energy and money while
sitting on the couch! Major
brands like LG offer ENERGY
STAR Most Efcient designat-
ed HDTVs that can really help
make a difference on your en-
ergy bill - especially during the
season when youll be spending
plenty of time watching your
favorite teams.
Following these simple tips
helps you save energy and
money, while addressing climate
change. LG Electronics, a 2014
ENERGY STAR Partner of the
Year, invites consumers to learn
more ways you can be more ef-
cient and share your approach
to saving energy this October
by taking the LG ENERGY STAR
Pledge.

Preparing for Fall and Winter Pests:
How to Keep Wildlife and Insects out of Your Home
(BPT) - For many pests, including rodents, spiders and cockroaches,
the change in season indicates the need to nd shelter from the colder
temperatures ahead. In some cases, this shelter is the same place that
keeps your family warm and dry.
The National Pest Management Association (NPMA) reminds hom-
eowners that fall pest-proong is important to prevent pests from mak-
ing their home in yours.
Unwanted pests are more than a just nuisance in the home. They
pose serious health and property threats as well. Rodents can gnaw
through wires causing structural damage, putting homes at risk for
re. Rodents also can carry diseases such as salmonella and hantavi-
rus. Rodents can also cause secondary infestations by bringing eas,
mites or ticks into homes.
Other pests like cockroaches are known to trigger allergies and
asthma symptoms - especially in young children - and some species of
spiders, if disturbed, will bite in defense.
Pest prevention is a year-round process, and in anticipation of
cooler weather, its time for a change in the ways you protect your
home from unwanted intruders, says Missy Henriksen, vice president
of public affairs for the NPMA. Besides being a nuisance, pests can
also pose health and property threats. Homeowners must take proac-
tive measures to prevent pests from coming indoors.
The NPMA recommends these fall pest-proong
tips for homeowners:
* Screen attic vents and openings to chimneys
and any other areas where homes may be open to
the outdoors.
* Keep basements, attics and crawl spaces well
ventilated and dry. Pests are attracted to areas of
moisture, something they need to survive. Using
dehumidiers in basements and garages will help
keep these areas dry.
* Seal cracks and crevices. Dont forget about
the outside of the home. Use caulk and steel wool
to seal any potential entryways for pests. Pay close
attention to where utility pipes enter the structure.
Mice can t through holes as small as the circum-
ference of a dime.
* Replace loose mortar and weather stripping
around the home. These are easy ways
to keep out not only pests, but also cold
air.
* Store rewood at least 20 feet away
from the house and keep shrubbery
in the yard trimmed back. Eliminating
areas where pests can hide near your
home can reduce the chance of them
nding a way inside.
* Have a proper outdoor drain-
age system. Installing gutters or
repairing an existing system will
help draw water and moisture
away from your home, preventing
any leaks or build up that might
attract pests.
* Work with a pest professional.
The best way to protect against
a pest infestation in your home is early prevention by following
these pest-proong tips. However, if you suspect an infestation
in your home, contact a licensed pest professional to treat the
problem.
Learn which pests are common in your area. For information
about common pests and how to prevent them, visit www.pest-
world.org.
Dinnerware Bursts with Color for Fall Entertaining
Mix colors and mediums to update vintage patterns
for fall entertaining.
(BPT) - The autumn leaves bursting into vibrant reds,
lively oranges, and brilliant yellows signal a new season
for home entertaining. If you need a little inspiration,
look no further than your favorite outdoor spot to update
your table setting with the hottest colors for fall 2014.
Contemporary versions of classic colors are trending
in the interior design realm this fall, says John Grifth,
visual merchandiser for dinnerware retailer Replace-
ments, Ltd. Rich deep Pantone colors including Sangria,
Aurora Red, Cognac and Misted Yellow reect the abun-
dance of color you see outdoors. The new Fiesta color,
Poppy, is perfect for autumn. Metallic nishes are also
wildly popular, such as gold and copper.
Customers frequently ask Grifth and designer Julie
Robbins for creative guidance to refresh their family
heirloom pattern table settings. Pattern blending is a
specialty of Robbins.
Vintage dinnerware continues to be one of the trendi-
est design elements in the tabletop industry and those
patterns are some of our best sellers, says Robbins.
Why buy a reproduction when the real thing is readily
available? Search your mother or grandmothers china
cabinet to nd some of the great retro patterns. Add your
own point of view when you mix and match contempo-
rary designs to create a modern look. Its really simple
to add an accent plate, or a stand-out charger in this
seasons colors to update your table for fall entertaining.
Figural pieces, such as leaf shaped plates and serving
pieces are very popular this fall. Many manufacturers are
offering colorful accent pieces with favorites including
turkey, fall leaves and pumpkin motifs.
You can use pumpkins as a strong design element
through Thanksgiving, Grifth suggests. Pumpkins
made of glass, ceramic and lightweight resin are big sell-
ers in the store as we head into the season. Mix with the
real thing to easily create a great centerpiece.
As the season changes, so does the way youre en-
tertaining. Gatherings may be more casual as friends
and family get together
around the television for
the big game or by the
re pit on the patio.
Appetizer size plates
and individual dip bowls
are great for nger foods
and condiments, says
Robbins. These smaller
pieces are both popular
and affordable. Plus
its fun to mix
shapes, colors or
motifs. Mix and
match your favorite
team colors for
the big game or
choose individual
Thanksgiving
themed plates
for celebra-
tions tied to
turkey day.
Still look-
ing for more
fall tabletop ideals? Help is just a click
away. This team is now using Facebook to
share decorating tips and solutions.
We love partnering with our custom-
ers to solve their design dilemmas, says
Robbins. Were thrilled when people
reach out to us and ask questions on
Replacements Facebook page. Our team
is having a lot of fun connecting with
our customers and we encourage people
to visit our page, ask questions, like us
and share us with their friends; we get so
many great design chal-
lenges this way.
Once the team receives
a question, they create
multiple mix and match
options, photograph these
table settings then post
the images online for the
public to see and share.
Pumpkins and turkey-themed plates are popular design elements this fall.
Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down? Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down?
Thumbs up to clean elections which are in
effect in three states so far. Why are politicians
allowed to spend about a third of their working
hours raising money? Wouldnt
those hours be better spent
actually doing their job? Thank
you to all persons who: support
and actively pushes for elections
where people count more than
money.
Thumbs up to the Clarke
Farm families for hosting another
fantastic Charity Pig Roast.
Despite the weather, it was great
time for a great cause - Building
Dreams for Marines.
Thumbs down to Bill
Raycraft for cancelling Windham Wolverines
football games because of a wet eld. Get a
weather app for your phone! Saturday night was a
beautiful night for games! You dont own our high
school eld!
Thumbs down to the pilot up in his little
plane. You bothered us all day on Sunday with
your noise. You are disturbing our peace and
quiet. There must be a law against this. You are
harassing us.
Thumbs up to the Windham School Board for
unanimously (5-0) voting to endorse the ongoing
effort to bring The Windham Academy, as a state
model public charter school to our community.
Thumbs down to Alan Carpenter for his
recent article on the Constitution - the greatest
written expression of our rights and freedoms in
history. He oddly references extremism in the
Constitution booklets offered.
The booklets referenced simply
highlight the supreme law
of our land, with additional
commentary is by various
founding fathers. Someone
please remind him that
extremism in defense of Liberty
... is no vice.
Thumbs up to the Windham
Transfer station for their
collection of hard and soft cover
reading books. Ive been able
to nd quite a few titles here that I was unable to
nd at the local library. What a treat to be able
to nd quality reading material whilst disposing
properly of my household waste ... Thanks,
Windham Transfer Station!
Thumbs up to the Windham Senior Center
staff and volunteers for making
seniors feel welcome and for
keeping the yearly dues for the
Windham seniors affordable.
Some of the volunteers are
seniors themselves and we
always appreciate the warm
welcome we get. My wife and
I enjoy playing bingo and look
forward to it each week. A few
weeks ago, I had car trouble
and couldnt get my wife to
her doctors appointment. The
Windham Senior center was
able to lend a helping hand
and offer us a ride that day. It
was very important my wife get
to her appointment and they
made sure that she didnt have
to miss it. We also enjoy the
yearly Christmas party and look
forward to it this year.
Thumbs down to all the extra trafc by the
Windham weigh station and thumbs down to the
New Hampshire Department of transportation
for making this a worse trafc jam situation than
it ever was before. I thought it was supposed to
make trafc ow more easily but instead there
are times of day that its an absolute nightmare.
Even though they said it was going to be xed
by Halloween this year, I dont see it happening.
I think they use forks and spoons as their
construction tools.
Thumbs up to Pelham Football Pythons coach
Ryan Clark who works so hard with the team, acts
as a mentor and is a good role model for all the
athletes as well as the students. Its not always
easy and its not always pretty but Coach Clark
denitely shows the team how to put their best
foot forward in every game. Thank you.

Trilogy is seeking enthusiastic, career-minded, self-

motivated individuals for our Financial Advisor position.
College graduates and those new to the industry seeking a
career-change are encouraged to apply. Business, Finance

positions with interpersonal experience preferred. Growth
and advancement opportunities available to those who are
dedicated and career focused.

Financial Advisor/Management
Trainee Opportunity
What We Expect

pays the cost associated with these licenses. After
completing any necessary licensing, candidates
will enter our accelerated industry training and
orientation to learn the necessary skills required to be an advisor with Trilogy. Advisors who
quickly master this training are meeting with clients, working face-to-face. For new advisors,
this is done under the guidance of one of our mentors. For people with industry experience the
mentor may serve as a resource. Over time, our newest advisors develop a specialty in the eld
of nancial services, while developing clients. Our goal is to help our clients achieve their most
important nancial goals, while helping our staff develop a stable career in a growing, in-demand
industry. Trilogy does not build any products we do not have any ownership or interest in any
products we may recommend, therefore we act as an advisor not as a sales person. It is our goal
to match up any client with the most appropriate investment, or service, and provide them with
the best guidance on how to reach their goal - like a map helps you locate a destination. We can
also provide our employees with a path to their own personal nancial success.

Windham Gets Federal Help to Combat Drug Traffcking
submitted by the Ofce of the Sheriff, Rockingham County
The Rockingham County Sheriffs ofce, Rockingham County
Chiefs of Police and the New England High Intensity Drug Trafcking
Area recognized the growing drug problem that plagues New
Hampshire and the 37 communities in Rockingham County. In a
collaborative effort, the Rockingham County Chiefs of Police and the
Sheriffs Ofce has worked with the New Hampshire State Police,
DEA, U.S. Marshalls ofce and Homeland Security and applied to
the White House Ofce of National Control Drug Police and was
granted a HIDTA designation.
According to the Ofce of National Drug control Policy, The
HIDTA program, created by Congress with the Anti-Drug Abuse
Act of 1988 provides assistance to federal state, local and tribal law
enforcement agencies operating in areas determined to be critical
drug trafcking regions of the United States.
The HIDTA designation will enhance coordination and
cooperation in or ght against this dangerous threat to the
communities in and around Rockingham County posed by the
drug trafckers and dealers. This will be accomplished by the
facilitation of information sharing among federal, state, and local
law enforcement agencies. This collaborative effort will be used to
design and implement effective strategies and operations.
High Sheriff Michael Downing and Kingston Chief Donald
Briggs, through the Rockingham County Drug Task Force, provided
the necessary support for All Brackett, the Chief Deputy at the
Rockingham County Sheriffs Ofce, to apply
for the HIDTA designation in 2012. The
HIDTA designation allows multiple agencies to
effectively collaborate and pool our resources.
This maximizes all of our capabilities in our
efforts in stopping drug trafcking in and around
Rockingham County.
High Sheriff Michael Downing recognizes the
following individuals and their efforts in obtaining
the HIDTA designation for Rockingham County.
In 2014, Brackett became the Chief of Police
in Atkinson and continued his work on behalf
of the Sherriffs Ofce and Rockingham County
Chiefs of Police to obtain the HIDTA designation.
Kingston Chief Donald Briggs, Colonel Robert
Quinn of the New Hampshire State Police, and
Deputy Director David Kelley of New England
HIDTA were important supporting contributors to Rockingham
County during the process of obtaining the HIDTA designation.
Senators Kelly Ayotte and Jeanne Shaheen and their ofces were
instrumental in representing the needs of Rockingham County.

Budget season for the Windham School
District, and for the town side of government,
has begun in earnest, and part of that annual
process is going through the Capital Improvement
Program Committee. School board members
and town ofcials are expected to submit larger
scale projects to the committee for evaluation
and priority ranking. Late last month, school
administrators took their request to the members
of the CIP committee and came away with
somewhat less than were seeking.
The purpose of the CIP is to plan ahead for
projects and expenditures that might have a heavy
impact on taxpayers, so that those expenses might
be spread out over a number of years. Typically,
the CIP covers anticipated expenditures that
stretch about six years into the future.
Based on recommendations from Windham
School District Business Administrator Adam Steel,
the school board requested a total of $675,000
to cover repairs and large maintenance items
at the school districts four public schools. The
presentation to the CIP committee was made by
school board chairman Jerome Rekart. Following
the presentation and subsequent discussion,
CIP members agreed to approve the inclusion
of $615,000 in the 2015 Capital Improvement
Program. CIP members reduced the request by
$60,000 due to the existence of two separate
capital reserve funds; which, together, total
approximately $60,000.
In other business, school board members briey
discussed what to do about the proposed land
swap between the school district and the Town of
Windham, an agreement that was reached before
the new high school was opened in 2009. To
date, what is dubbed The Gage Land swap has
not been completed by the school district side of
the agreement. Based on that agreement, which
was undertaken as a potential location for future
athletic elds, the school district would be making
a two-to-one swap of property, by which the town
would gain 32 acres and the school district would
garner 16 acres of land suitable for building an
athletic eld or stadium-type facility. Some school
board members expressed the opinion that those
athletic enhancements are not likely to happen in
the foreseeable future, due to other pressing space
constraints.
Current school board members said they
werent sure exactly what had been decided by
prior boards in regard to the land swap and asked
Vice-chairman Dennis Senibaldi to look into the
issue. In addition to being a current school board
member, Senibaldi is also a former Windham
Selectman. The deadline for the land swap to be
completed is this coming December 31.
School District Request for CIP Funds Cut
by Barbara OBrien
Last month, the Windham School Board voted 4 to 1
not to recommend the charter school application that
was proposed by the Educational Choices Foundation.
Although members of the ECF disagreed with the school
boards decision, they did, subsequently, withdraw the
application for Windham Academy and are opting,
instead, to work with school district administrators in
coming up with a revised proposal.
As a result, during the October 7 school board meeting,
Chairman Jerome Rekart suggested that a two-member
sub-committee of the school board be established to work
with ECF members in establishing a revised charter school
application. School board members, with the exception
of Ken Eyring, had felt that the original application was
not specic enough in regard to location, curriculum or
assessments. Eyring was the only school board member
who voted to accept the charter school application as
originally presented by the ECF.
While all his fellow school board members agreed with
Rekarts suggestion to develop a sub-committee to work
with the ECF, there was also no consensus on who those
members should be. Michael Joanis said he felt that the
sub-committee would require a signicant amount of
time to get the job done and wasnt sure how many board
members could devote sufcient time to the project.
Theres a mountain of work that needs to be done,
Joanis said. The task is likely to be very time-
consuming, he added.
Eyring contested Joanis opinion, stating that
he doesnt feel the job of revising the charter
school application will be all that daunting.
Eyring also said that he doesnt believe hes the
right school board member to take on the task of
reworking the original document. Its best if I
dont become involved, Eyring said, noting that
he was involved with the original application for
a charter school, prior to his election as a school
board member this past March.
Joanis also commented that he feels the two
school board members who eventually form the
sub-committee should be of varying opinions.
We need some yin and some yang, Joanis said.
Ultimately, school board members decided to
place the issue on the agenda for the October
21 meeting, agreeing that this would give them
sufcient time to decide if they have the time to
devote to the endeavor.
Sean Donahue, chairman of the Educational
Choices Foundation, thanked school board
members for the willingness to collaborate with
the organization. Im happy were moving
forward, Donahue said, adding that he feels the
brunt of the work to be done will be handled by
ECF members.

Ofcer, Pelham Fire
Department
During Fire Prevention
Week from Oct. 5 through 11,
the Pelham Fire Department
spent some time visiting local
preschools and kindergartens
to once again teach re
safety. Fireghters spoke to
the children about what to
do during a re, staying low,
feeling doors for heat, get out
and stay out, smoke alarms,
calling 9-1-1, meeting places,
and stop, drop, and roll.
(which one child awesomely
referred to as stop, drop, and
rock n roll!)
They also learned about the
dangers of stoves, matches,
and lighters. Fireghters had
the children demonstrate
some techniques and then
donned their protective
re gear to show the
children how we look and
sound during an actual re
emergency. We do this so the
children are not afraid of us
should we ever have to rescue
them during a re. The
theme of this years NFPA Fire
Prevention Week is Working
Smoke Alarms Save Lives.
If you would like more information on Fire
Prevention Week go to www.repreventionweek.
org. If you would like to bring your children
down to the Pelham Fire Department, please do
so and we will be happy to show the children the
re trucks and speak to them about re safety and
prevention.
Also, please remember to change the batteries
in your smoke detectors twice a year, even if they
are hard wired. If you would like the Pelham
Fire Department to inspect your current home
smoke detectors call the re department at 635-
2703 Monday through Friday between 8:30 a.m.
and 4:30 p.m. to schedule an appointment. This
inspection is free and non-punitive.
As always stay safe. It is our pleasure and
privilege to serve you.

Flashing signs of the perseverance that earned them back-to-back NHIAA
Division II State Championships, the Windham High School boys Soccer
team scored a critical victory, 1-0, over Souhegan High School on Friday
evening, Oct. 10.
There is still a lot to work on, but it seems like the more typical style that
we have played over the last few years: quicker decision making, quicker
touches, right decisions, said Coach Mike Hachey. This new group is really
starting to gel together so hopefully it continues with the playoffs coming up.
The Jaguars hit a couple of rough patches early on in the season due to a
variety of factors. Windham lost some of their core, championship-caliber
players due to both graduation or injuries, which forced other players into
new positions and out of their comfort zones. People were asked to do
things they normally didnt do before. Now that everyone is back where they
belong, we can take care of what we need to take care of and have everyone
do their part, said Hachey.
Another reason why Windham has not dominated as they had in seasons
past is because of the strength of their competition. The Jaguars have had to
endure a tough schedule against strong programs. Souhegan High School
has been one of those tough teams. Souhegan, who is ahead of the Jaguars
in the state standings, had defeated Windham, 1-0, on Friday, Sept. 26. A
victory over that same team just two weeks later illustrates the growth of this
Jaguars team.
The difcult schedule may also be a blessing in disguise, according to
Hachey. Having a difcult schedule and being in every game means we
are going to go in (to the playoffs) battle tested, said Hachey. Putting it all
together is going to be the key.
Windhams goal, the only one of the game from either team on Friday,
came from David Carbonello on a penalty kick. It was the only point
Windham would need as a strong defensive effort ensured the win. Thats
the only way youre going to be successful: possessing the ball, moving the
ball, and pressuring defensively in a balanced way, said Hachey.
Windhams back three, Jon Ferri, Derek Busko, and Nick Whitehead,
anchored the Jaguar defense. They have been really solid, not just being
ball-winners but distributing out of the back, said Hachey. Max Suitor and
Cole Rutledge also helped lead the Jaguars to their eighth win of the year.
With the win, Windham sits at 8-5 on the season with three games
remaining. With the playoffs looming closer, the Jaguars will likely secure a
middle spot in the postseason tournament.

Junior forward Hannah Pescis hat-trick led the Windham
High School girls Soccer team to a thrilling overtime victory
over Milford High School on Thursday, Oct. 9.
I always tell the girls that, sometimes, youve got to win
games when you are not playing your best. I was not excited
that we let them (Milford) in as many times as we did, said
Coach Matt Bryant. But again, weve got to win some ugly
games if we want to get where we want to be. The end result is
what we wanted.
Following a physical rst half, Pesci found the net with 2:40
remaining in the rst half of play to give the Lady Jaguars the
1-0 advantage. After a defensive struggle in the rst half, both
offenses came alive in the second half. Milford tied the game
in the rst minute of the second half. Thirty seconds later,
Windham regained the lead as senior Co-captain Haley
Psareas scored.
At the halfway mark of the second half, Milford, once
again, tied up the game with a goal from a free kick that
bounced over the Windham goalkeepers head. Both
teams squandered opportunities to take the lead until Pesci
earned a penalty kick with eight minutes remaining in
the match. Pescis penalty attempt was blocked but she
was able to score her second goal of the game off of the
rebound from her own kick.
Hannah is going to get her goals and put herself in good
spots. She certainly did that today, said Bryant. Cant
complain about a hat-trick.
It looked as if the Lady Jaguars were going to hold on for
the win when, in the nal moments of the contest, Milford
tied the game up for the nal time to force overtime.
Bryant stated that he has been impressed by his teams
ability to bounce back following setbacks. On Friday, Oct.
3, Windham lost, 2-1, to Souhegan High School. Days
later, on Monday, Oct. 6, the Lady Jaguars responded with
an eight-goal onslaught to defeat Merrimack Valley. After
surrendering their lead three times in the same game,
Bryant was curious to see how his team would respond.
He got his answer in the nal two minutes of the
overtime period as Windham earned a corner opportunity.
Weve been working on getting a goal from a corner all
year, said Bryant.
Senior Co-captain Selena Hansen, who has been battling
a reoccurring back injury all season, was able to deliver
a perfect kick to set up Pescis game-winning third goal.
She was pretty banged up all game, but she was able to
give us the pass that we needed, so I was really psyched
about her performance, said Bryant. For Selena to step
up, especially in as much pain as she was in, that was pretty
great stuff.
With the victory, the Lady Jaguars are 7-3-1, and most
likely playoff bound. Through all the wins and losses on the
season, however, tenacity and perseverance drive the Windham
squad. They dont want to lose. There are still lapses and still
things that we need to work on but they have a tendency to
come back and get it done one way or the other. Weve had
some games where we have had to look within ourselves and
gure it out, said Bryant. Good teams win tough games and
this was a tough game.

Through the rst 13 matches of
the 2014 season, the Windham High
School girls Volleyball squad has
remained unbeaten. The Lady Jaguars
appear poised for a return to the
Division II State Championship Finals.
This year, Windham expects to win.
Last season, the Lady Jaguars battled
their way into the NHIAA Division
II Championship Finals, where they
met top-seeded Coe-Brown High
School. Windham did not prevail, yet
the loss has only served to motivate
Bartlett and her squad. Not only have
they improved, they have thrived.
Adversity is something that brings
groups together, said Bartlett. The
Lady Jags have not lost more than a
single set all year. Windham is 13-0
with three matches remaining in the
regular season.
Its been a lot of fun. The girls are
working really hard. We challenge
them every day, we challenge them
with something new, said Coach Jill
Bartlett. Every practice, every game
is an opportunity.
On Friday night, Oct. 11, the
Lady Jaguars hosted Pelham High
School. After taking the rst two
sets, Windham hoped to close out
the match with a sweep. The Pythons
battled, even leading Windham for a
time, before the Lady Jags powered past Pelham to take the third set,
25-20, and the match. We are so very fortunate that our roster is so
deep, said Bartlett. We are three (players) deep in every position
so every player off the bench and on the court has been doing an
awesome job.
While every player has been contributing to Windhams pursuit of
perfection, it is senior Co-captain
Hannah Scotts season that has
awed Bartlett. Scott switched her
position this year to center. She
has excelled since the move.
Shes playing beautifully, her
athleticism is shining through, and
shes doing a remarkable job, said
Bartlett. Shes got passion for the
game and she loves the position.
Thats where shes always wanted
to play.
Scott knows that it takes a
whole team effort to have the kind
of season Windham is having. I
think our team chemistry is great
enough so that, on the court, we
become resilient and we dont
let anything get to us. Its a team
effort and we trust each other,
said Scott.
Bartlett, Scott, and the rest of
the Lady Jaguars and Windham
community hope that the teams
chemistry will lead them to a state
title.

PHS Homecoming Action Dominated by Defense
by Marc Ayotte
All in all it was a successful homecoming for PHS athletics as four of the ve teams
in action over the two-day celebration emerged either victorious or tied in their
respective games. Each encounter was earmarked by solid, Pelham defensive efforts,
including the sole loss of the weekend, which was suffered by the boys soccer team.
Field Hockey
On Friday, October 3, the Lady Pythons Field Hockey team engaged in the rst
of ve athletic events for the weekend, and pushed their unbeaten streak to ve
straight when they came from behind with a second-half goal that enabled them to tie
visiting Sanborn, 1-1. After a scoreless rst half, the Indians Sara Hunt scored with
20:50 remaining to take a 1-0 lead. But the Snakes answered back with 9:12 left in
regulation, when Sarah Morin scored from just to the left side of the Sanborn goal that
ultimately led to the nal score.
Since homecoming, Coach Patty Stilphens squad has won two of three to improve
to 10-2-1 on the season. The Pythons put bookend wins around an 8-1 loss to
Windham on Oct. 9. Prior to the loss to the Jaguars, Pelham blanked John Stark
Regional by a 5-0 score. Darian Rideout paced the Pythons with two goals, while
Shannon Weisensee, Sarah Morin and Katelyn Surprenant each added a single tally.
Goalie Ashlyn Farwell made ve saves in recording the shutout. On Oct. 15, Pelham
hosted Franklin and blanked the Golden Tornadoes, 4-0. Heather Defranzo led
the Pythons with a pair of goals, while Morin as well as Rideout each scored once.
Farwell faced only two shots for the goal but, nonetheless, recorded her 7th shutout of
the year.
Volleyball
In the night cap of the rst day of homecoming, Coach Jen Nugents volleyball team
improved to 6-5 on the year with a straight sets sweep over ConVal. According to
Nugent, The Pythons line up demonstrated determination and strength in a 3-0 win
over the Cougars. Game scores for the night were: 25-11, 25-18, 25-17. Megan
Scalia was dominant from the service line, serving for 14 points in her rst trip to
the line in the rst set. She nished with 23 service points overall, including nine
aces, while also contributing 10 assists and two kills to the Pythons offensive attack.
As Nugent indicated after the match; Morgan Apkarian, who sets and hits for the
Pythons as well, was a strong offensive force with nine service points, four aces, six
assists and ve kills. Elsewhere statistically for Pelham, middle hitters Holly Joyce
(four blocks, two kills) and Amanda Olson (one block) provided a strong rst line of
defense for the Pythons. Also contributing in the win were outside hitters Mikayla
Sequeira (three kills) and Alyssa Paradis (three kills), along with libero Kelsey Grimard
(ve digs).
Girls Soccer
First on the docket for day two of Homecoming sporting events was the girls soccer
game against Conant. The Lady Snakes held the listless Orioles offense in check for
all 80 minutes; posting a 3-0 win to even their record at 5-5. Morgan Pinksten (two
goals) and Brooke Paradis (one her team-leading 10th of the year) provided all the
scoring Pelham would need for the win. In between the posts, senior Shyanne Skinner
and freshman Amira Eid shared duties to record the shutout.
Three days later, Coach Jon Halls crew made the trek to Laconia where they
silenced the Sachems to the tune of 4-zip. Pelham enjoyed some widespread
contributions as four different players made it into the scoring column. Morgan
Pinksten gave the Snakes a 1-0 lead just 60 seconds after play began with her seventh
goal of the season. Taylor Burke then made it 2-0 with her rst varsity goal at the
22-minute mark. In the second half, Morgan Walsh bumped the lead to 3-0 with
her sixth goal of the year, and then with 10 minutes left in the contest, Devon Sacca
scored on a corner kick. She bent it in off the goalies hands, recounted Hall. Amira
Eid was back in goal for Pelham and turned back all six Laconia shots in recording her
second (solo) shutout of the year.
On Oct. 10, Pelham slipped to 6-6 in the standings when they played a Sanborn
team of whom Coach Hall indicated; they were denitely more prepared for us than
the rst time we saw them. After the Snakes withstood the Indians rst-half offensive
surge, backed by keeper Eids 10 saves, the two teams entered the intermission in a
scoreless deadlock. Despite surviving the rst half and playing better in the second
forty, Pelham gave up the lone goal of the game after the break and returned to Pelham
on the light side of a 1-0 score. Despite the loss, the Lady Pythons are just one spot
out of the top 10 in the D-III standings
Boys Soccer
Coach Matt Millers boys team lost an opportunity to shine despite the inclement
conditions for the second game of the soccer double header during Homecoming.
Pelham dropped a tightly contested 1-0 decision to Raymond on a Tucker McPherson
goal. However, since that time, the Snakes have rattled-off three straight wins,
improving
to 6-6-
2 on the
season while
solidifying
their bid for
post season
eligibility.
The streak started
on Oct. 7 when Pelham traveled
to Bishop Brady and cut the Giants down to size by a 1-0
score. Josh Gonzalvez provided all the offense the Snakes
would need when he scored late in the rst half. Victor
(Romeo) played the ball to Josh, and with a pretty spin
move, nished it into the bottom left corner, recalled Miller.
Three days later, on the strength of four goals from the
senior tandem of Josh Gonzalez (2) and Eric Guinasso (2),
Pelham fought back from a 3-1 second-half decit on the
road to defeat Sanborn, 4-3 in overtime. Guinasso gave
the Pythons a 1-0 lead at the 13-minute mark, but the Tribe
came storming back, scoring three unanswered to take a
3-1 lead in the games 49th minute. From there on it was
all Pelham as Guinasso scored on a penalty kick (63rd
minute) followed by Gonzalezs rst tally with 8 minutes left
in regulation to force the game into an extra session. Four
minutes into O.T., Gonzalez drilled a free kick into the back
of the net from 26 yards out for the thrilling win.
On Oct. 14, the Pythons piggy-backed the overtime
win at Sanborn with another extra session win, this time
with a 2-1 home victory over Conant. Victor Romeo put
the Snakes on top 1-0 in the rst half as he converted on a
rebound after Alex Becker was rejected in the six box by the
Oriole keeper. Despite not mounting much of an offense
all afternoon, Conant knotted the score at one apiece with
a goal in the 71st minute, sending the contest into overtime.
But the Snakes prevailed, as Coach Miller recounted the
scoring play. Colin Grosman sent a
long clear-in down the left sideline to
Guinasso. He beat the defender one on
one and then found himself in alone on
the keeper, and slid the ball past (him)
inside the left post.
Football
The grand nale of Homecoming featured a 6 p.m. kickoff
under the Harris Family Field lights. And here, even the
Python football team participated in the weekend-long
defensive shutdown as they defeated Monadnock Regional
by a 14-7 score.
The Pythons were led offensively by fullback Nick Johnson
(40-yard TD run) and Dylan Ragonese who entered the end
zone from 20 yards out. Johnson nished the game with 56
yards on nine carries, while Ragonese picked up 62 yards on
the ground on eight touches. Quarterback Trevor Gagnon
had an off night, completing only two of 10 attempts for 30
yards; one to Brad Kamal for 20 yards with the other going
to Ragonese for a 10-yard gain.
The special teams featured outstanding play from three
particular Pythons, as indicated by Coach Clark: Brad
was incredible on punt coverage and forced a fumble early
that led to our rst score. Michael Calistro did a great job
punting the ball and gave us great eld position. Joe Halpin
had an interception just before halftime, his third on the
year.
Also earning Clarks praises for their defensive efforts were
Bryce Brown and Zach Masiello. Brown had a great game
at safety on defense and made a great play on a Monadnock
fake punt to stop (them) inches from the rst down, noted
the Python coach. Additionally, he commended Masiello
who recorded three sacks, pressured the quarterback all
night, and according to Clark; sealed the game with a huge
sack, forced fumble, and then recovered it himself, with
less than a minute to go in the game. Clark closed out the
evening by saying, (It was) a big win against a good team.
Our young guys played great, and the seniors showed great
leadership and determination.

Derry Imaging Center
Earns ACR Accreditation
submitted by Derry Imaging Center
Derry Imaging Center, with facilities in both
Derry and Windham, has been awarded a three-
year term of accreditation in stereotactic breast
imaging, in addition to a three-year renewal on its
nuclear medicine accreditation by the American
College of Radiology. Accreditation certies that
Derry Imaging staff and equipment have passed
the ACRs rigorous evaluation.
We are very proud to receive ACR
accreditation in stereotactic breast biopsy, said
Heidi Clark, director of Derry Imaging Center.
Our facility has earned ACR accreditation for all
of the diagnostic services we provide, including
MRI, ultrasound, CT, mammography, radiology,
nuclear medicine and now stereotactic breast
imaging.
The ACR gold seal of accreditation represents
the highest level of image quality and patient
safety. It is awarded only to facilities meeting
ACR practice guidelines and technical standards
after a peer review evaluation by board-certied
physicians and medical physicists who are
experts in the eld. Image quality, personnel
qualications, adequacy of facility equipment,
quality control procedures, and quality assurance
programs are assessed. The ndings are reported
to the ACR Committee on Accreditation, which
subsequently provides the practice with a
comprehensive report they can use for continuous
practice improvement.
Stereotactic breast biopsy involves using
a special mammography machine that helps
guide the radiologists instruments to the site in
the breast suspected to be cancerous. Nuclear
medicine is a branch of medical imaging that uses
small amounts of radioactive material, ingested
by the patient, to diagnose and treat a variety of
disease, including many types of cancers, heart
disease, and certain other abnormalities within
the body.
Both patients and referring physicians can
be assured that only the highest quality care is
being provided at both of our facilities, said
Clark. Our radiologists are onsite, board certied
and fellowship trained. Derry Imaging is also
dedicated to being cost effective, saving patients
40 to 70 percent off their screening or diagnostic
imaging.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and
a perfect time for women to schedule their annual
breast cancer screening. A physician referral is
not needed for a mammogram, and women are
urged to call 537-1363 to schedule one as soon
as possible. Both the Derry and Windham ofces
have evening hours until 8 p.m. most week nights,
and the Derry ofce is open on Saturdays until
3 p.m. Appointments can easily be scheduled
around your busy day by phone or online from
your computer or smart phone.
