Pelham Independence Day Celebration

Explodes with Community Fun

by Barbara OBrien
The Windham School District is not the only
entity in town being riddled by recent resignations.
The Town of Windham is being forced to deal with
the void, as well. Selectmen were in the midst of
deciding how best to fill the job of town planner when
they unexpectedly received the resignation of the
community development director. Having two jobs to
fill has changed the entire scenario and reopened the
discussion on possibly reorganizing the department.
Town Planner Elizabeth Wood resigned from her job
this past April and selectmen have been having a tough
time finding someone to take on those duties. The
job was offered to two different applicants, neither of
whom accepted the offer.
Community Development Director Laura Scott
handed in her resignation a couple of weeks ago.
Scott has accepted a job with a non-profit agency
located in Concord. Scott, who served first as town
planner in Windham, then, subsequently, was hired
as community development director, will be moving
on to the Friends Program, previously known as RSVP
(Retired Senior Volunteer Program). Scotts final day on
the job in Windham is July 29.
The topic of possibly reorganizing the Windham
Community Development Department first came
up when the selectmen were approached by Ed
Gallagher, chairman of the Windham Economic
Development Committee, a couple of months ago,
with a recommendation to hire a full-time economic
development director to work along with existing staff.
The subject was bantered about for several weeks, with
the result being a split decision among selectmen. The
majority of five selectmen (3 to 2) did not want to add
the new position at this point in time, however.
But with two vacancies in the department,
Selectmens Chairman Joel Desilets felt there was
a clean slate, which might be the perfect time to
reorganize the department without disturbing
anyones existing employment. A discussion held on
July 5 included the possibility of making the two jobs a
single combined position and again raised the specter
of hiring a separate economic development director.
Neither idea got enough support, however.
Vice-Chairman Ross McLeod presented an option
that generated considerable interest. Having a strong
director of planning is a key element, McLeod said.
McLeod suggested that the title of town planner be
changed to chief planner or director of planning and
the position given more authority; thereby attracting
more qualified candidates than has been the case
recently. McLeod said the planner slot should be
made a deputy management position with an increase
in salary. We need to elevate the position, he said.
Furthermore, McLeod explained, giving more authority
to the planning job would allow the new community
development director additional time for economic
development; something Scott says she only dedicates
about 30% of her time to doing. We need to attract
a really strong planner, someone who has strong
management skills, as well, McLeod emphasized.
Currently, the job of town planner is a union
position. That would not be the case should it be
made into a management position, such as chief
planner or planning director.
Selectman Roger Hohenberger said his one
concern is that the town has nobody running the
community development department at all right
now. Hohenberger said he agrees there should be
more focus on economic development, but noted that
the community development director job involves a
great deal of work above and beyond that. A major
component of planning is setting ordinances, setting
the tone of the town and working on the master plan,

Mother Nature was not aware that the Windham Garden Club
had planned its summer tours, when she brought a drizzle of rain
to this three-mile section of the town. But spirits were not to be
dampened or were the outstanding homes and gardens that were
on the tour. Self-guided could have been a challenge; however,
if you followed the map and watched for the signs you were
greeted by members whose gardens were only outshined by the
conversation of how plants were grown and where walkways and
walls came from, to how large bushes had been passed down
through the family via cutting over five generations.
The Windham Garden Club includes 57 members who
understand the beauty of nature. The club works within the
community to build a greater appreciation and pride in public
landscaping. The club helps educate and make improvements
in their surroundings, so they will be more beautiful, useful and
ecologically sound for everyone to enjoy. They also create

Army Band Fills the Air

with an Array of Spirited Sounds
by Lynne Ober
After a week of sweltering temperatures,
Friday night was pleasantly cool and
breezy perfect weather for the concert
on the Village Green in Pelham. The 39th
Army Band, stationed in Manchester,
played a lively concert. In reality, the men
and women of the 39th Army Band made
up several different ensembles and play a
variety of music from rock to alternative
rock, jazz, melodies and the rousing
marches that make your toes tap.
All the members are musicians who
decided not to quit playing after they
graduated from high school. Instead, they
joined the band, which is always looking
for new members. We get paid, have
tuition to state schools paid, get to play music
and travel, grinned the trumpet player as
he stepped onto the stage. What could be
better?

10722. Long before the concert started
hamburgers were cooking and people were
standing in line to get something to drink
and eat. Chairs were set up on the green and
children were playing.
Performing groups include the Concert
Band, Marching Band, Jazz Band, Rock Band,
Woodwind Quintet and Brass Quintet. These
groups move seamlessly onto and off the
stage as the concert progresses. The evening
started with the Concert Band playing on

brought his toddler onto the stage to the
delight of the audience.
As the concert progressed, the
applause was loud. Children continued
to play on the lawn or dance to the
music in front of the stage. The front
man for the band announced that the
95-year-old grandfather of one of the
members was in attendance on that night.
When the brass ensemble played, an
audience member was heard exclaiming,
Who knew a tuba could sound like that!
Toward the end the band announced
they were going to play a service song
medley and asked that members of each
service stand and be recognized during their
branchs service song.
The final song of the evening was Stars
and Stripes Forever.
The band got a standing ovation before
everyone headed home. This is the best of
living in a small town, said Joyce Parent
with a smile.

Selectmen Vote Down Money for Mosquito

Spraying; Seeking Donations
by Barbara OBrien
By a tie vote of 2 to 2, Windham Selectmen defeated a request
from Recreation Department Coordinator Cheryl Haas to use town
funds to pay for a portion of the cost of spraying town-owned
athletic fields for mosquitoes. All four selectmen agreed, however,
to allow the spraying if enough money in donations could be raised.
Voting against the town-funded mosquito spraying were
Chairman Joel Desilets and Selectman Roger Hohenberger. Voting
to support the proposal were Selectmen Jennifer Simmons and
Bruce Breton. Vice-Chairman Ross McLeod recused himself from
the decision due to a conflict of interest.
Last year, $725 was raised in donations to pay for mosquito
spraying, while the remaining $600 needed was taken from the
operating budget. The fields that
are slated for spraying include
Griffin Park, Nashua Road and
Rogers Field.
Selectman Hohenberger was
the most vehemently opposed to
spending taxpayer dollars on the

spraying; a stance he has taken each year that the issue has been
brought before the board.
Its ludicrous, Hohenberger said, explaining that he doesnt
think it does any good in the long run to spray small areas of the
community. Desilets agreed with Hohenberger this year, stating
that he was not convinced that area spraying is an effective way of
eradicating the menace. Hohenberger encouraged parents to use
bug repellant when taking their children outdoors.
Former selectman and current school board member Dennis
Senibaldi pleaded with selectmen to change their minds. Senibaldi
has been actively involved in the towns recreation program for
many years. If even one kid doesnt get sick, its money wellspent, Senibaldi said. Its in the best interest of the children to
spray these fields. It does help with the problem to some degree,
he said.
Selectmen voted 4 to 0 to allow mosquito spraying on townowned fields if the job can be accomplished through donations.
Anyone interested in donating to this project is encouraged to
contact the selectmens office at 432-7732.

School Board Agrees to Seek Construction Manager

by Barbara OBrien
During their first meeting of the new school year, Windham School
Board members agreed to move forward with soliciting bids for a
construction manager for what is anticipated to be another proposal
for school construction at Golden Brook and Windham Middle
School.
The proposal put forth this past March nearly succeeded in
garnering sufficient voter approval, missing by only about three
percent of the 60-percent majority required for a bond issue. Due
to the close vote, school board members, the same five that sat at
the table last year, are planning to move forward with a very similar
proposal this coming March. In order to achieve that goal, however,
there is no time to waste.
According to lead architect for the project, Ingrid Nichols,
six construction managers were sent requests for proposals on
July 8. Responses to those requests will be sent directly to the
superintendents office at SAU 95. All responses are to be received
and a final selection of a construction manager is to be made by July
28.
Building and Grounds Committee member Rob St. Laurent
emphasized, We need to push forward. We need to keep the
momentum going. St. Laurent did admit, however, that the schedule
being set is an aggressive one. Once a construction manager is on
board, pre-bond work will be done between August of this year and
March 2017. Post-bond work would begin next March, should the
proposal pass with a minimum 60 percent at the ballot box.
It was also decided during the July 7 board meeting that the
$100,000 included in the 2016-2017 budget for architectural
and engineering fees would be spent on additional pre-bond
services, including civil engineering and geological surveys. The
$100,000 is only about half of what is needed, however, to bring the
schematic designs up to where a guaranteed maximum price can be
determined. In order to have the schematic designs set by Nov. 1,

and contingencies, Nichols told school board members.
Is that enough time to get this done? resident Cynthia Finn asked.
I think it is, Nichols replied.
Superintendent Richard Langlois, who just started the job on July
1, said he wants sufficient time to add his own input to the proposal.
Langlois said he has toured the two schools involved in the project
and has some concerns above what he feels are being addressed

New Superintendent Attends First

School Board Meeting
by Barbara OBrien
On July 1, the 2016-2017 school year began,
and, four days later, newly hired Windham
Superintendent Richard Langlois attended his first
school board meeting. Im really excited to be
here, Langlois said, during the July 7 session.
Langlois, who most recently held the job of
superintendent in Marlborough, Mass., was hired
this past spring and has agreed to a three-year
contract with the Windham School District. He
takes over the duties of Dr. Tina McCoy, who
served as interim superintendent for Windham
(SAU 95) for the past year. Langlois expressed his
appreciation to school district staff in Windham
for assisting with his transition to the new job.
Windham is Langlois third stint as a
superintendent. He served in that capacity for
five years in Saugus, Mass., then an additional
three years in Marlborough. He also has 19 years
of credit to his resume as an educator in New
Hampshire, including Salem, N.H.. Langlois said
he also has a background in human resources.
Langlois said he was pretty proud of the two
previous superintendent positions he had held
and all that he felt was accomplished during his
tenure. Significant progress was made, he said,
adding that he has high expectations and sets the
bar for accomplishments at a high level.
As superintendent in Windham, Langlois said
he wants full transparency and is planning to
have the new Business Administrator William
Hickey present regular reports during the second
meeting of each month, and Kori Becht, director
of curriculum, instruction and assessment, present
updates during the first meeting of each month.
Langlois also extolled the excellent job Becht has
been doing in preparing for the upcoming school
year. Langlois said he is an advocate of STEM
education (Science, Technology, Engineering and
Mathematics) and encourages the implementation
of 21st century technology.
According to Langlois, he views deficiencies
as opportunities for improvement. I believe
in building trust among the staff and working
collaboratively with the school board, he stated.

Langlois said he participated in some of the

exit interviews of those who recently left the
Windham School District to take jobs elsewhere
in education. Why do people leave the school
district? he asked rhetorically. Its not because
of anyone else, Langlois stated. Its a personal
choice; an independent choice. It has nothing to
do with politics, he added. Its commonplace to
have teachers coming and going.
Referring to hiring new personnel to replace
those who have left the Windham School District,
Langlois said that every child deserves to have
teachers who are fully certified in the area in
which they will be working.
In welcoming Langlois to Windham, school
board member Ken Eyring said, We have great
expectations!

Republicans Must
Get Out and Vote
I would like to remind Republicans how important
it is to get out and exercise your liberty and vote. There
is much controversy surrounding the Republican
Presidential nominee this year. I am writing in part
to say that if you are unhappy with the Republican
Presidential nominee, Donald Trump, please keep
an open mind until voting day. Please consider that
regardless of your feelings, do you want Hillary Clinton
nominating the next couple of justices for the Supreme
Court? Just as imperative is the rest of the ticket.
We must elect a Republican Governor, a Republican
Executive Council member. We must maintain a
majority in Congress and the Senate. We must elect
Republican State Representatives. Lets bring New
Hampshire back to its roots, Live Free or Die. We
have great candidates running down ticket. Please take
some time and learn about them. We cant win the state
back, if we dont get out and vote. The New Hampshire
primary is Sept. 13, and the General Election is Nov. 8.

Legislation Helps Granite Staters

Gain Coding Skills
submitted by the Ofce of
Congresswoman Annie Kuster
Congresswoman Annie Kuster (NH-02)
announced on July 11 the introduction of H.R.
5696, The Coding Technology Improvement Act,
a new bill to allow coding technology programs
to receive funding through the Department of
Education. Currently, only accredited universities
may receive such funding, but a number of
innovative new institutions are offering highquality programs that propel students into highpaying jobs in the coding arena. This bill would
provide these programs with the federal support
they need to expand and continue to offer skilltraining to interested students.
Across New Hampshire, students are already
beginning to take advantage of innovative coding
and software courses, which prepare them for
first-rate careers in this 21st Century industry.
With far too many Granite Staters underemployed
and seeking ways to acquire the skills necessary
for todays high tech jobs sector, we should
ensure that programs like these are given the
federal funding they need. This will allow these
programs to expand and offer courses to every
student interested in pursuing a career in coding,
said Congresswoman Annie Kuster. Thats why I
was proud to introduce this bill, which will make
federal funding possible. I urge my colleagues to

join with me and pass this bill into law.

All across the country, coding boot camps
and other innovative education providers are
partnering with colleges and universities to offer
students specialized courses in coding that will
equip them with skills necessary to compete in a
21st century economy. In fact, the University of
New Hampshire and Southern New Hampshire
University are partnering with non-traditional
education providers like the Flatiron School
to prepare students for high-quality careers
in software development and information
technology. Kusters bill would allow these
programs to apply for federal education grants.
Since taking office, Kuster has long prioritized
efforts to increase access to workforce
development and job training programs for
Granite Staters. The first bill she introduced in
Congress would provide a tax credit for businesses
that partner with community colleges to create
programs that teach students industry-specific
skills. Kuster has also held a series of job fairs
across the state, many of which feature skilltraining programs for event attendees. Whats
more, shes the author of an Economic Jobs and
Opportunity Agenda, which outlines a number of
steps Congress and local businesses can take to
better prepare the Granite State workforce for 21st
Century jobs.

Terrorists Shouldnt be able to Buy Guns

by Senator Kelly Ayotte
As we grapple with the aftermath
of the worst terrorist attack on our
soil since 9/11, where an individual
who pledged allegiance to ISIS
purchased firearms even after being
investigated twice by the FBI, we
must set politics aside and take
action. Thats why I introduced
legislation with a bipartisan group of senators to
keep guns away from terrorists while protecting
the constitutional rights of American citizens.
The Orlando attack that took the lives of 49
innocent people and injured 53 more shook our
nation to our core. It was an act of terrorism
filled with hatred, and an attack on the LGBT
community and on our freedom. And it was a
reminder that we have to step up our fight against
ISIS so we can destroy their capabilities to plan or
inspire terrorist attacks.
However, theres another issue at play here, as
the Orlando terrorist had caught the governments
eye before. While Omar Mateen wasnt on any
government watchlists when he purchased his
weapons this June, he had been investigated by
the FBI twice and during those investigations
was temporarily on the Selectee List a narrower

subset of the terrorist watchlist that requires extra

screening at airports. While there is no doubt that
we must understand why the FBI removed him
from that list and whether more needs to be done
to address any gaps in our intelligence gathering
capabilities, this situation underscores the urgent
need to ensure that terrorists
cannot purchase firearms.
Its just common sense that if
Guest
youre too dangerous to board
a commercial airplane, youre
too dangerous to purchase a
firearm, period.
But on Monday, the Senate failed to advance
two proposals offered by Senator Dianne Feinstein
(D-Calif.) and John Cornyn (R-Texas) both of
which had failed previously mostly on party
lines. I had concerns with both namely, that
Feinsteins proposal was overly broad and lacked
sufficient due process protections for Americans,
and that Cornyns may not provide enough time
to stop a terrorist from purchasing a gun. Despite
my concerns, I voted to advance them in order
to force a debate on this issue and find a better
solution.
I believe that the solution is bipartisan
legislation I helped introduce, the Terrorist
Firearms Prevention Act. Our
measure blocks the sale of
firearms to individuals on the No
Fly and Selectee Lists smaller

Editorial

Do You Have the Right Plan?

LIFE - HEALTH - MEDICARE

subsets of the terrorist watchlist that contain

individuals who pose a heightened risk to our
national security and have met criteria above and
beyond the broader terrorism watchlist. To be
on these lists, credible evidence must indicate
that an individual poses a heightened threat of
committing an act of terrorism
or may be operationally capable
of committing a terrorist act.
Only approximately 2,700
Americans meet those standards
and appear on these lists.
Critically, our measure
also allows Americans who believe they have
been wrongfully denied their right to purchase
a firearm to challenge it in court and receive an
expedited ruling, where the burden of proof is on
the government. If the government cant provide
credible information justifying an Americans
placement on one of those lists, then the
government must pay the individuals attorneys
fees and provide for expedited review to remove
the individual from either list.
As it relates specifically to the Orlando terrorist,
our legislation also includes a look-back
provision. That means that if an individual was on
the broader terrorism watchlist anytime in the past
five years and purchases a gun like the Orlando
terrorist law enforcement is immediately notified
so they can take appropriate action.
Here in New Hampshire, members of the law

enforcement community agree that this legislation

is a feasible solution. Manchester Police
Chief Nick Willard said that true to the New
Hampshire way, our measure would actually
be a good step forward. Goffstown Police Chief
Rob Browne called it a common sense approach,
and Belknap County Sheriff Craig Wiggin said
it was an appropriate, measured response and
it balances the needs of law enforcement and
national security with the rights guaranteed to us
in the Constitution.
Radical Islamist terrorists threaten our security,
our way of life, and all of our constitutional
rights. As a member of the Armed Services and
Homeland Security Committees, a former murder
prosecutor, and a strong supporter of the Second
Amendment, I refuse to allow terrorists the ability
to legally purchase firearms. I refuse to allow
ISIS to continue to thrive abroad, to spread their
poisonous hatred, or to plan and inspire attacks
against or homeland or our allies. Working
together, we must defeat this threat. When
the Senate voted on Thursday on a procedural
measure to advance our proposal, it garnered
majority support from both sides of the aisle,
showing that this solution has promise. Lets
stop the political football and work together on a
solution that will keep our country safe by making
sure terrorists cannot purchase firearms.
Kelly Ayotte represents New Hampshire in the
United States Senate.

Hohenberger said, noting that Windham is a residential

community, not primarily a business location. Hohenberger
also said how important it is to maintain strong ties with existing
businesses, not just attracting new commercial enterprises.
Town Administrator David Sullivan agreed with McLeod that
the key component is hiring a strong planner. Things wont work
without that happening, Sullivan said. And, it needs to be soon,
Sullivan said. We have an immediate need.
Desilets agreed that the town needs to maintain a focus on
existing businesses, but also needs a strategy to attract appropriate
new businesses to Windham. As for hiring the two employees,
Desilets said, We certainly are not going to rush. We have to be
sure to hire the best candidates. The search could take four to 12
weeks, he said.
The realigned job of community development director could
include more management focus, as well as strategic and longrange planning, with focus on economic development. The revised
town planner slot would focus on both residential and commercial
planning, in other words, one-stop shopping for planning.
McLeod said that it should be required that anyone hired for the
planning job be a certified planner. There appeared to be some
confusion about the hierarchy of the two positions,
although following the meeting, Selectman Bruce
Breton said the community development director
Mc Kinnons
would be the person ultimately in charge of that
department.

Black Lives Matter vs. Police Ofcers

As of late there has been a lot
of violence in our country, but
lets face it, we, as humans, are
violent. We have always been
violent and we will be violent
in the future. We are hardly
ever content with the world we
live in. If we were meant to be
content with the world we would still be living
in caves. As a species we have changed and
progressed, but, when it comes to our core
beings, we havent changed and we will never
change. If we did, we wouldnt be human
anymore.
Currently, there has been a rift in this country
between Black Lives Matter activists and police
officers. Weve had a history of racism and
discrimination in this country. Most other
countries have or had this problem too. We
are not alone in this matter. We, as Americans,
just like to think that we are more socially
progressed and are more equal than the rest
of the world. However, facts dont back that up.
Before I jump into my discussion points, I
would like to explain why I use the term black
instead of African-American. Not all blacks are
from Africa. Some are from other places such
as Haiti. Also whites are not called EuropeanAmerican. Youre white and an American.
Youre black and an American. We are all
Americans.
My thoughts on paper today arent to pick
a side. I dont believe that there is a right or
wrong side here. Everyone is always so focused

on whos right and wrong and

backing up that position even it
if it means ignoring basic facts.
Are there bad black men? Yes.
All About Are there bad police officers?
Yes. Are there good black men
and good police officers? Yes.
I like to think that there are
more good people in this world than bad.
The Black Lives Matter activist side is that
police officers are killing unarmed young black
men. Whether police need better training,
have racial prejudices, or actually thought that
their own lives were in danger and felt no other
choice but to shoot, I dont know. I cant read
their minds, and I didnt witness any of these
incidents firsthand.
According to USA Today, so far in 2016,
26 officers have been killed. At this time last
year there were 18 officers killed. I tried to
look up statistics for how many unarmed black
men have been shot by police. Unfortunately,
different news sources give me different
numbers. The only accurate statement that I
can provide is that they are all significantly
higher than the number of police officers that
were killed.
I dont understand why the Black Lives Matter
group isnt focusing a lot on black men killing
other black people. In Chicago so many black
men, women and even children are shot and
killed. I remember reading this year about a
young boy who was executed gang style a short
distance away from his home. Every day I read

ME

the Chicago newspapers and every day I read

of shootings. Too frequently the victims are
innocent black children. They are not usually
the intended targets, but still just dont shoot if
there are children around. Even if they arent
your intended target they dont need to see that.
Better yet, just stop shooting.
This may sound a little blunt and insensitive,
but fix the violence that plagues your
community first and then fix the violence that
is inflicted upon your community. Fighting for
social justice will be much easier united.
Police officers shooting unarmed black men
I think is just a surface to a more complex
problem. I think a large portion if not the
majority of blacks are deeply unsatisfied with
their lives. I think the system is failing for
them. I think that no matter how hard they
try, they just cant seem to win. Whenever
the system fails in a society there is obviously
going to be discontent voiced and demonstrated
and rightfully so. I can imagine its hard to
grow up in these impoverished inner city
neighborhoods. Consider the ramifications of
not receiving a good education, not receiving
the same opportunities and witnessing a lot of
scary situations. Historically, when the system
fails, people turn to something else; whether
that be communism or religion it doesnt really
matter. The system needs to change. If it
doesnt change the situation is only going to get
worse until the system completely breaks down,
or people get tired of fighting and lives continue
on without improvement.

Again, I am not black and I live in southern

New Hampshire. I can only speculate from
what I see and hear in the news. I did live in
Chicago recently and it was very different than
living in quiet New Hampshire. I did work in
an area that wasnt inner city, but it wasnt a
place where you should travel alone at night.
I saw things that I would never see in New
Hampshire. I did see violence, poverty and
blatant racism.
The problem I think with people who live in
southern New Hampshire is, because we lack
diversity, we dont really see racism. I think
if someone from this area were to move to
Detroit they would be exposed to a lot more
diversity and more poverty. Their viewpoints
may drastically change because of that. Its
hard to get an accurate understanding of racial
injustice when you are living in a place where
93 percent of the population is white and only
1 percent is black (as of 2016 according to
suburbanstats.org).
I can only give my perspective as a white
female in her early 20s. I dont know what the
average young black male goes through daily.
We all have our struggles; some of us have
deeper struggles than others. I also dont know
what the average police officer goes through on
a daily basis. I can speculate and I can research
it, but if youve never been in someone elses
shoes, than you cant truly know. You can reach
me at Nicole@areanewsgroup.com.

State Senator Updates Selectmen on Recent Legislation

by Barbara OBrien
New Hampshire State Senator Regina Birdsell met with selectmen
on July 11 to update them on some of the legislation that was
adopted during the session that recently ended. Birdsell represents
District 19, which includes Windham, Derry and Hampstead.
Birdsell spoke of what is termed agri-tourism, legislation that
will now allow weddings and other such social functions to be
held on farms. Birdsell commented that it is not always possible
for farmers to rely solely on the crops they raise, particularly due
to harsh weather. Legislation was also passed that allows for
the sampling of wine and beer at farmers markets across New
Hampshire.
Legislation was also adopted that relieves some financial burdens
on construction businesses. The legislature also initiated a study of
certain taxation issues on businesses that operate between Maine
and New Hampshire. Start-up taxes are also being eliminated on
small businesses.
Birdsell noted that a great deal of the business handled by the state
legislature this past session relates to heroin and opioid abuse,. One
piece of legislation that was passed allows pharmacies to take back

unused prescription medications; thereby lessening the chance of

these drugs falling into the wrong hands. The state is also enhancing
the Drug Court Program, which allows drug abusers to be treated
in a rehabilitation facility, rather than incarcerated. A $1.5 million
funding increase was granted to the New Hampshire State Police
to assist local police with drug abuse issues. The penalty for the
possession of the narcotic painkiller Fentanyl was also increased.
Funding to provide enhanced health and drug abuse prevention
programs was increased to allow for age appropriate education for
students through high school.
The states 10-year highway plan was approved, including the
completion of Route 93 from the Massachusetts state line to the
Manchester 293 split, including the construction of four lanes going
both north and south. Forty million dollars was added to the States
Rainy Day Fund, Birdsell noted.
A highway sign program, which is nationally recognized, was
approved from the Massachusetts border to Concord. The signs,
indicating upcoming available services, will not be posted in the
North Country, Birdsell said, due to scenic concerns.
Other approved legislation will allow terminally ill patients to try

New Hires Approved for School District

by Barbara OBrien
As the 2016-2017 school year got underway on July 1, one of
the first responsibilities of Windham School Board members was to
approve the hiring of certain personnel needed to replace those who
had resigned as of June 30.
According to newly hired Superintendent Richard Langlois,
who attended his first school board meeting July 7, there were a
total of 39 positions to fill, a combined result of non-renewals,
resignations and retirements. As of July 7, 33 of those vacancies
had reportedly been filled, mostly teaching positions. Langlois
expressed appreciation to the school districts human resources
staff, as well as individual building principals for their diligence in
procuring qualified individuals to take on the duties vacated by their
predecessors.
Among those approved by school board members, on the
recommendation of the superintendent, were several school district
administrators. After accepting the resignation of former Windham
Middle School Principal Patti Wons, who recently accepted a job
with the Exeter School District, school board members voted to
hire former assistant principal Brenda Morrow as the new interim
principal at Windham Middle School for a period of one year at a
salary of $94,000. Taking on the job of interim assistant principal
at the middle school will be former teacher Jay Gratton for a oneyear period, at a salary of $83,000. When questioned by resident
Bob Coole as to why Morrow and Gratton were only being given

the positions on an interim basis, Langlois responded that he was

not in the habit of giving jobs away. He did add, however, that he
fully expects Morrow and Gratton will be successful in their new
endeavors. Langlois did add, however, that Morrow and Gratton
would be allowed to return to their previous jobs if not given the
new positions on a permanent basis.
Other administrative positions recently filled include Roger
Preston as director of facilities at a salary of $85,000 and Harry
Bennett as director of technology, also at a salary of $85,000.
Preston, who was already employed by the Windham School
District, replaces John Pratte, who returned to the Hudson School
District after a one-year stint in Windham. Bennett, who is new to
Windham, is replacing former Director of Technology Kevin Verratti.
Recent staff resignations include Chali Davis, English teacher
at Windham High School, and Kimberly Noyes, special services
administrator at Windham Middle School.
Langlois said it will be the standard process in Windham
to interview and hire only licensed staff, unless extenuating
circumstances exist.
School board members voted 4 to 0 to hire those recommended
by Langlois during the July 7 meeting. Voting in favor were ViceChairman Rob Breton and school board members Ken Eyring, Tom
Murray and Dennis Senibaldi, Chairman Daniel Popovici-Muller
was not in attendance.

non-FDA approved medications under the guidance of a physician.

The Federal Real ID program passed muster at the State House;
identification that will allow easier access to air travel and federal
buildings. This program involves the use of a persons Social
Security number.
New Hampshire is also now an Uber access state, Birdsell said,
commenting that she had recently used the service and found it
worked very well.
A new election law was also approved this past session that allows
New Hampshire to participate in a cross-state voter check, to help
prevent voter fraud. The program provides cross-checking with 30
other states. Also, members of the New Hampshire National Guard
will now be eligible to receive absentee ballots when away from
home.
Finally, Birdsell commented in regard to a possible project
that would extend a rail trail all the way to Keene, allowing
approximately 130 miles of recreational access. State legislators are
working with the New Hampshire Department of Transportation on
this proposal.

Windham Fourth of July Display Evokes Awe and Cheer

Staff photos by Craig Smith

by Craig Smith
Coming off of the heels of a
wildly successful Town Day, the
Windham community took it
upon themselves to continue the
celebration of town pride for the
4th of July at Windham High School
on June 30. With the promise of
fireworks later in the night and a
plethora of activities to do in the
meantime its no surprise that so
many people came to pay homage
to the birthday of the United States
and revel in the company of their
neighbors.
The event, co-sponsored by
ConvenientMD, was certainly
filled to the brim with friendly
faces, some simply sitting and
enjoying the fresh air, while others

knick-knacks or fundraising for
their organization. The booths
themselves were nearly as abundant
as the partygoers as Kellis Fried Dough, Kona Ice, and several other vendors set up shop to feed those
enjoying the festivities, some with hot dogs and burgers, others with cool drinks. Girl Scout Troop 11027
made their presence known as well as they hosted a bake sale that drew in support with smiles and
delicious baked goods. The Windjammer U12 Wildcats Softball group was present also and set up a
50/50 raffle. The Wildcats were headed off to the World Series and looked for the communitys support to
help them reach the final step of their goal. Other vendors had light-up gizmos and glow sticks prepared

Building and
Grounds
Committee Needs
Members
by Barbara OBrien
Following the recent resignation of two members of
the Windham School Boards Building and Grounds
Sub-Committee, including Chairman Paul Gosselin,
additional members are being sought.
According to school board member Tom Murray,
who is a member of the building and grounds subcommittee, two regular members and one alternate
member are currently needed.
Anyone who is interested in joining the subcommittee should have experience and expertise in the
building trades and management thereof. If interested
in applying or for more information contact one of
the school board members or Superintendent Richard
Langlois at SAU 95, 425-1976.
The building and grounds sub-committee is currently
in the midst of developing a construction project
involving Golden Brook and Windham Middle School.

Town Day kick started the

during the year, but the weeks that this town celebrates it proves just what a treasure it is, not only to
be free in the United States, but also to be a part of such a warm and successful community such as
Windham.

Windhams Bill Shroeder Recognized

for his Efforts to Protect Canobie Lake
submitted by the New Hampshire Lakes Association
William (Bill) Schroeder, president (and 15-year member) of the
Canobie Lake Protective Association, has been selected by the New
Hampshire Lakes Association, Inc. as the 2016 recipient of the John F.
Morten Award for Exemplary Lakes Stewardship. NH LAKES President
Tom OBrien will bestow the award at CLPAs annual meeting on Sunday,
July 17, 6:30 p.m. at the Searles School, 3 Chapel Road, Windham.
The Morten Award was established in 2002 in memory of the late John
F. Morten (1914-1989), in recognition of his life-long work to protect New
Hampshires lakes and ponds. It was his vision and grassroots efforts that
led to the creation of the statewide New Hampshire Lakes Association.
This award is NH LAKES highest award, given to the person who has
had the greatest impact on the protection of lakes and ponds in New
Hampshire.
NH has almost 1,000 lakes and ponds that are in the public trust and
the protection and stewardship of these water resources often falls to the
people who live closest to them; the people, the communities and the
businesses that most rely on them and enjoy them. Susan Goodwin, chair
of NH LAKES Board of Directors said, It is people like Bill Schroeder
that keep our lakes protected and the special places they are for everyone

living in or visiting NH.

Schroeder has worked diligently and tirelessly at Canobie Lake to create
a community of fellow lake stewards and a strong and effective lake
association. He has also worked on the regional and state levels to ensure
that all lakes are protected. His commitment and engagement on the I-93
highway corridor is widely recognized. Perhaps less widely known, is that
he has served as a member of the NH Water Quality Standards Advisory
Committee for more than 10 years.
Ted Diers, from the NH Department of Environmental Services, had
high praise for Schroeder. Bill has been a tremendous advocate for not
only for his lake but also for his community and the entire state. As a
long-time chair of NHDES Water Quality Standards Advisory Committee,
he helped lead the state through some controversial rules and tricky
policy issues. He comes at all issues with the perfect mix of passion and
professionalism that has allowed him to be successful in forming state
policy, pushing cutting-edge local watershed ordinances, collecting muchneeded data and bird-dogging state agencies to protect water quality.
NHDES very much appreciates Bills leadership and he is truly deserving
of this award.

Funds for Another Stained Glass Windham Donated

by Barbara OBrien
For the past several years, a number of members of Windham
Searles School and Chapel Trustees have dedicated an enormous
amount of time and energy working to restore and upgrade the
century-old town-owned structure.
Longtime Windham resident Margaret Case has been paramount
in leading the fundraising efforts required to sustain this priceless
artifact of town history. Most recently, Case came before the
selectmen with another significant donation; one intended to replace
one of the multiple stained glass windows that once graced the
Tudor-style school and chapel.
Thanks to the generosity of Windham resident and former school
board member Bruce Anderson and his wife, Gina, another stained
glass window will be gracing the stone structure, which sits just
off Range Road. The $13,000 donation made by the Andersons is
sufficient to pay for an entire stained glass window; one which will

be placed in the schoolroom to the far right of the building. The

Andersons have been super generous, Case told selectmen.
Case has also applied for a grant to pay for the $17,000 stained
glass window needed for the left side of the building. She is
currently waiting for an answer to the application. All the windows
in the chapel section of the Searles Building have already been
completed.
Case said, if the grant is received, that would leave only one
more window to be replaced; the large window in the front of
the building; which carries a replacement cost of about $46,500.
Donations are being gratefully accepted.
Selectmen voted 4 to 0 to accept the Andersons donation of
$13,000 with great gratitude. Voting in favor of accepting the
money were Vice Chairman Ross McLeod and selectmen Jennifer
Simmons, Roger Hohenberger and Bruce Breton. Chairman Joel
Desilets was not at the June 20 meeting, due to business obligations.

School Board Approves

Technology Upgrade
by Barbara OBrien
On the recommendation of the newly formed
technology committee, the Windham School Board
unanimously (5 to 0) approved spending up to $150,000
to upgrade the school districts technology infrastructure.
The money to pay for the much-needed upgrade is
coming from two school year budgets: $80,000 was taken
from the 2015-2016 school year, which ended on June 30,

while the other $70,000 is already budgeted in the 20162017 school year.
According to Technology Committee Chairman Rick
Okerman, committee members feel it is more efficient
and more economical to do the upgrade in a single year.
Outgoing Business Administrator Adam Steel said it was
possible to make the expenditure in one calendar year as
long as the $80,000 needed was spent prior to the end of
the 2015-2016 school year.
Okerman also said that
committee members met with
outgoing Technology Director
Kevin Verratti, before his recent
departure from Windham, and
were in the process of preparing
to interview candidates to
replace him. Committee
members have also met with
commercial residential

board members had approved
the recent purchase of 30

the mathematics program. This
is a really remarkable tool,
Wons said, noting that the
sixth graders involved in the

It is anticipated that the program
will continue next year as well.

White Pine Needles Turning Brown

Already Noticeable in Southern Regions

and produces what is known as needlecast.

White pine trees in New England have struggled with
needlecast since 2010, and researchers are studying
the four fungi known to cause needle browning.
Researchers noted this years brown needles are a result
of last years wet weather. When there is heavy rain
during the growing season (May to July), the interior
needles of white pine trees are infected with fungal
spores as they develop new shoots.
In a few weeks the brown needles will shed and
whats left will be green current year needles, which are
the most productive and important set of needles on the
tree anyway, says Kyle Lombard, forest health specialist
with the New Hampshire Division of Forests and Lands.
If the pine is otherwise healthy, it has the ability to
survive this needlecast event.
Cheryl Smith, plant health specialist with UNH
Cooperative Extension, echoes the positive outlook for
the white pine, but says people may see more dead
lower branches than usual or further weakening of
trees that are already unhealthy from other stresses.
Repeated defoliation can weaken trees, making them
more susceptible to other pests and diseases, she
notes. I have noticed trees that are hit each year are in
decline.

Many people in the southern half of New Hampshire
have noticed white pine needles turning yellow and
brown this spring. While it is common for pine needles
to turn brown and fall off during autumn months, the
browning in spring is from fungi that infects the needles

CHaD All-Star Football Raises over $252,000

Pelham~WindhamSports
Windham Player Recognized for his Community Service

submitted by Tom Gauthier, Childrens Hospital

at Dartmouth-Hitchcock
On a beautiful Saturday evening at St. Anselm
College, Team East topped Team West, 28-14,
in the 2016 CHaD NH East-West High School
All-Star Football Game, powered by Bedford and
Nashua Ambulatory Surgical Centers.
The real winners of the game, however, were
the kids and families of the Childrens Hospital at
Dartmouth-Hitchcock. By the end of the contest,
the fifth annual edition of the all-star game raised
over $252,000 for CHaD, with the total amount
potentially increasing as final proceeds are tallied
in the coming days. In five years, the game has
now raised more than $1.3 million to benefit
critical CHaD services and programs, including
Kristens Gift Endowment Fund for pediatric
oncology.
A player on Team East, Patrick Hume of
Windham, was awarded the Dan Duval
Community Service Scholarship during the

All-Star Banquet last Friday night. Hume was

recognized for his extensive community service
work, including serving as the president of the
Jaguar Community Alliance at Windham High
School. With the JCA, they worked with special
needs students to build friendships. They also
organized Toys for Tots drives, video game nights,
and a variety of other events. He also became
an Eagle Scout in 2014, building a sagging net to
catch footballs at the high school field.
As for the ChaD game, funds were raised
in a myriad of ways, including sponsorships;
ticket, merchandise, and raffle sales; and player
fundraising. While not a requirement for
participation for the players, this years group of
80 all stars raised over $70,000, a record amount
for players. Team Wests Bobby Heald of Bedford
was the top individual fundraiser, pulling in over
$6,275 for CHaD. Heald was recognized and
awarded a $500 scholarship for his fundraising
efforts at the annual All-Star Banquet Friday night.

Team West was the top team fundraiser, compiling

more than $37,000 as a team.
On the field, more than 1,800 fans packed
Grappone Stadium to watch East win for the
second straight year. After a come-from-behind
triumph in 2015, East, led once again by Laconia
High School coach Craig Kozens, never trailed
in 2016. Brian Auffant (Winnacunnet) returned
an interception for a touchdown in the first
quarter to start the scoring. By the end of the
game, Timberlanes Jason Hughes had tossed
three touchdown passes to earn Bo Dickson MVP
honors and a $500 scholarship for his efforts.
Kozens has led Team East to each of its
victories in this rivalry. West still leads the alltime series, 3-2, heading into 2017. Additional
information on the game can be found at
