Local Youth Coach Arrested
On Child Sex Charges

imothy Longua, 41,
of 7 Lane Way, Londonderry, a third
and fourth grade Wildcats
coach, has been charged
with two counts of Aggravated Felonious Sexual
Assault and one count of
Felonious Sexual Assault,
according to Londonderry
police Lieut. Tim Jones.
“The incidents are still
under investigation, however I can tell you that our
juvenile detective was
alerted to the case and
did some interviews with
the victims along with the
Child Advocacy Center.
There are two victims in
this case under the age of
13,” Jones said.
He said the incidents
took place between the
summer of 2012 and January of 2013.
“The incidents took

anchester-Boston Regional
Airport has lost market
share over the past several
years when compared to 2005, a
time the airport enjoyed a boom of
more than 5 million passengers.
According to airport officials, its
present passenger count is about
2.5 million.
However, Deputy Airport Direc-
M
tor J. Brian O’Neill said several factors weigh in to considering the
reduced usage of the airport, most
of which is in Londonderry.
“It is important to point out
that airport ridership is directly
correlated to available airline seat
capacity,” he said. “Unfortunately,
contrary to public opinion, airports have no control over which
airlines serve their airport, the
ce,” Jones said. The girls
said that on more than
one occasion, while on
sleepovers at Longua’s
home, assaults took place
in the middle of the night,
Jones said.
No other alleged victims have come forward,
but police urge anyone
who may be a victim to
speak up.
“We are looking into
the possibility that there
may be more victims and
we would ask that they
contact the police,” Jones
said.
He said after police
contacted Longua and he
turned himself in on
March 1, he was booked
and transported to the
Rockingham County Jail
in Brentwood on $10,000
cash bail.
“Mr. Longua couldn’t
pay the bail that night but
was subsequently bailed
out the next day,” Jones
said.
Conditions of his bail
include that no children
under 18 years old except
his own are to be allowed
to visit at 7 Lane Way in
Londonderry. The court
also imposed the conditions that: he have no
contact with minors under 18 years old unsupervised, by mail, telephone
or otherwise; he must
continue to live at 7 Lane
Way in Londonderry; he
must refrain from possessing a firearm, destructive device, dangerous weapon or ammunition; and he must refrain
from use of alcohol or of a

Two Candidates Look to Fill Vacant Planning Board Seat
JAY HOBSON
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
nne Chiampa and Al
Sypek, who are
both interested in
joining the planning
board, were interviewed
at Monday night’s Town
Council meeting.
Chiampa said she
thinks she has “two
strikes against me.” She
cited her involvement
with the town from her
early years living in Manchester and coming for
various reasons to Londonderry, and her volunteer work with the Girl
Scouts and her design
work, including logos and
A
other artwork at Matthew
Thornton School.
“Some people have
said that I’m against the
Woodmont Commons
PUD (Planned Unit Development) and I’m not. I’m
for it. I attend all the meetings because I’m a concerned citizen and I speak
out because I have a constitutional right to do so,”
Chiampa said.
Chiampa said the
owner has every right to
develop the property and
she speaks to issues that
concern her as a resident.
During her speech,
Chiampa alluded to a private conversation she
had with Council Chair-
man John Farrell at a previous meeting, where Farrell said she was an abutter to Woodmont. Farrell
clarified the conversation
by saying he asked if she
were an abutter, and did
not say she was.
Chiampa also brought
up the names of Town GIS
(Geographic Information
Systems) Manager/Planner John Vogl and Town
Planner Cynthia May but
was asked not to involve
people who were not
there to respond, and to
keep focused on the interview.
Councilor Joe Green
asked her if she thought
any conflicts would pre-
vent her from being fair
and impartial and Chiampa replied that there
were none.
“How do you see yourself blending with the
board in a cooperative
way?” Green asked.
“If I’m on the planning
board I’m not going to be
a bobble-head,” she said.
“If I have questions about
a project, I’ll ask them. I’m
a detail person and I like
to get answers.”
Councilor Tom Freda
said she stated she was in
favor of Woodmont and
that given that predisposed position, he asked
if she would recuse herself from a vote on the
development. Chiampa
replied that she would
not.
After the questioning,
Farrell asked if Chiampa
would like to have the
interview continued until
the March 18 meeting and
Chiampa said that would
be fine.
Sypek then spoke and
offered his credentials as
the former fire chief and
his previous service as an
alternate on the planning
board. He said he volunteers at the Londonderry
Local Access Center and
that if he were to be on a
board, he would want to
be on one that he had
familiarity with, the rea-
son he chose to apply for
the planning board seat.
Sypek was asked by
Green if he had any conflicts that might interfere
with his judgment while
on the board and Sypek
said he had none.
Sypek noted his experience working with
board members and the
public and said the planning board is “totally governed by state law” and
that he would look at
everything objectively.
Sypek was also asked
to return March 18.
The Council then voted to continue the interviews on March 18.

being sued by Coach, Inc.,
which manufactures leather goods such as ladies
handbags, wallets, footwear, jewelry, and watches,
along with other products
produced
under
the
Coach, Inc. or Coach Services, Inc. brands.
According to the civil
complaint, Coach, Inc.
alleges that Sapatis and
Londonderry Marketplace
knew or should have
known that copyright
infringement and trademark dilution was being
conducted on the property
by businesses selling
“knockoff” goods claiming
the Coach brand but not
made by Coach.
The complaint states
that “on or about June 26,
2011 an investigator for
Coach visited Londonderry Marketplace and observed approximately 30
different vendors selling
and/or offering for sale the
Infringing Products.
“ The investigator made
six different purchases of
the Infringing Products.
The investigator handed
Defendant Sapatis a cease
and desist order. With
Defendant Sapatis’ permission, the investigator and
Sapatis’ assistant, Linda
Morrow, handed cease and
desist letters to the vendors selling and/or offering
for sale the Infringing Products,” the complaint states.
The complaint further
states that a letter, in addi-
tion to the June 26, 2011
cease and desist letter, was
sent via FedEx by Coach,
Inc. in-house counsel Tiffany Walden to 5 Avery
Road and was signed for by
a J. Sapatis.
that on Aug. 13, 2011 a
Coach investigator visited
the Marketplace and found
approximately 200 counterfeit Coach products and
bought a counterfeit item.
On April 29, 2012 the complaint states that another
investigator from Coach
visited Londonderry Marketplace and observed
vendors selling counterfeit
Coach, Inc. products,
which triggered another
cease and desist letter
dated May 14, 2011.
On Oct. 21, 2012, an
investigator from Coach,
Inc. visited the same flea
market and observed
approximately 12 vendors
selling counterfeit Coach
products. The investigator
made six different purchases, including a baseball
cap, wallet, belt, two
wristlets and a hat/scarf
set.
that as a result of the handdelivered cease and desist
letter, the cease and desist
letter handed out to vendors with Sapatis’ permission, and the FedEx cease
and desist letter, Sapatis
knew of the infringements
to Coach’s product, and

Everybody Read
The first week of March is marked
in many local schools as Read
Across America Week, and celebrates children’s author Dr. Theodor
Geisel, better known to the world as
Dr. Seuss.
Dr. Seuss’s birthday was March 2,
the Saturday of winter vacation, so
this is the week when most celebrations are taking place. And true to
the famed children’s author, school
activities focus on reading.
While Read Across America Week
was created by the National Education Association, no matter what
people think of unions we hope
everyone can agree on the importance of reading, and of reading to
children - early and often.
Whether it’s dressing up as the
Cat in the Hat, creating green eggs
and ham, serving as a “celebrity
reader” in a local elementary school,
or just cuddling up to your child to
read a bedtime story, Read Across
America reminds us of the importance of what could easily become a
lost art in the rush of life today.
Yet there’s not a much more
important factor in future success
than the ability - and the desire - to
read. Most of us take it for granted
and don’t remember how we learned
to read, but we use the skill every
day. Research shows kids who spend
time reading do better in school. And
whether it’s by reading traffic signs
or employment applications or college textbooks or exam questions,
reading follows us through our lives.
As does the enjoyment of sitting by a
warm fire and reading a book to relax
for the evening.
If your child’s school asks you to
spend a little extra time reading at
home, go for it. In the midst of busy,
out of control schedules, it will be
time well spent. While you’re at it,
schedule a trip to the children’s
room at your local library. Seeing an
entire building filled with books can
open up yet another reading experience for your youngster.
So whether it’s from Drop Everything And Read (DEAR) time in class,
or awards given to students “caught”
reading during the school day, Read
Across America Week underscores
the importance of the simple act of
picking up a book and getting lost in
its story. You can read on a Kindle,
you can read on a computer, and
best of all, you can read in a book.
And when you read to a child, you’re
building memories for both of you.
As Dr. Seuss wrote, “You’re never
too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick
up a book and read to a child.”

Change in Second-Hand Sales Regulations Proposed by Police
JAY HOBSON
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
etective Sean Doyle
presented to the
Town Council for a
first reading a proposed
amendment to the town
ordinance covering second-hand sellers and
pawnbrokers.
“This is a proposal
made by the Detective
Bureau within the police
department,” Acting Town
Manager William Hart,
who is also the town’s
police chief, told the
Council on Monday night.
“The long and the short of
it is that it will bring the
fees into compliance with
what other towns are
spending, creating a small
but significantly increased revenue source for the
town.”
Doyle was accompanied at the meeting by
Commander of Detectives
Lieutenant Tim Jones,
Detective Sergeant Kim
Bernard and Detective
Chris Olsen.
Hart said the ordinance and the associated
software will free up time
for the detectives and
increase their productivity.
The proposed amendment pertains to the
municipal code regulating
second-hand dealers and
pawnbrokers that was
enacted Oct. 17, 2005.
Doyle said dealers are
required to photocopy
identification of the seller
and the item being sold. A
slip of paper is then filled
out by the business and
sent to the police department, and a 15-day hold is
placed on the merchandise so detectives can
match it against lists of
stolen property.
“The problem we have
is, is that it’s extremely
D
Londonderry

537-2760
time consuming. Our
input time is roughly 12
slips an hour,” Doyle said.
He said that the detectives looked into two new
online reporting systems,
Business Watch International (BWI), which he
said was just adopted by
the Salem police department, and Leads Online,
currently in use by the
Manchester police department.
BWI electronically connects the shops to the
police department. “Basically what they do is if
you purchase their system, they provide software to the stores, which
we can then monitor from
the police department
side,” Doyle said.
Doyle said the store
will complete an information sheet on the person
bringing in the item and
use a webcam to take a
photo of the person, his
or her identification and
the item being sold, all in
high definition and able to
be accessed from the
police station at the end
of the day.
With BWI, the town
owns all the information
and it is shared with the
New England State Police
Information Sharing Network. With Leads Online,
the company has ownership of the information
because it is on its server.
“From the standpoint
of the Detective Division,
the BWI is the clear
choice for us,” Doyle said.
Doyle said the system
lets the police flag items
without having to go into
the store, and puts a hold
on the item so the store
can’t release it. It also
tracks sex offenders by
automatically
running
information daily against
the national sex offender
registry.
“Under the reporting
requirements, the sex
offenders report in our
town to the Detective
Division,” Doyle explained. “If they go in and
pawn something and use
information that is not
consistent with the information we have, it sends
us notifications and lets
us know that they are also
violating their sex offender rules. It’s another way
for us to keep track.”
The Detective Division
would like to add scrap
metal and auto parts
under the ordinance, as
people have been stealing
scrap metal from construction and utility sites,
as well as car parts for the
metal content.
Under the current ordinance, a onetime application fee of $50 is paid
by the business; that
would be increased to
$250 annually. A $1 transaction fee would be
required instead of a set
fixed amount so that businesses
doing
small
amounts of transactions
would not pay as much as
a larger business.
Also requested is a 21day hold instead of the
current 15 days before a
business can resell an
item. This gives the police
a longer window to compare items with stolen
property lists.
Councilor Joe Green
asked if there were additional costs to the businesses.
“The costs are completely covered from our
purchase of the system
and we provide the first
camera,” Doyle said. “If it
breaks or something happens to it, the business
pays for the replacement.”
Green also asked if
compliance would be
increased with a paperless system.
According to Doyle,
having to do a paper system requires time and
duplicate action that
would be alleviated by
the new system and
should increase compliance.
Councilor Tom Freda
asked for a definition of a
secondhand dealer or
pawnbroker.
Doyle said that as far
as the police were concerned, it is anyone who
sells things that aren’t initially sold from a retailer.
“Purchasing and selling
back,” he said.
Freda also said that
using a pawnbroker doesn’t necessarily mean the
person is selling; he or
she could be buying.
Doyle said buy backs
are included because
someone could steal
something, then pawn it
and buy it back.
Chairman John Farrell
asked that Doyle report
back to the Council with
feedback after six months
of implementation.

March Brings Familiar Face to Leach Library for Exhibit
LESLIE O’DONNELL
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
or his fourth art exhibit
at the Leach Library, on
display now through
March 31, Londonderry resident Craig O’Neill is featuring
nine oil paintings not seen
before in town, a mix of figures, landscapes and interiors. And they show a new
direction in his work.
He’s excited about the
new developments in his
paintings. “I’m being more
inventive with the elements
of painting now,” he said.
“I’m changing the color
schemes – some of the colors are darker – and putting
more into the meaning of the
painting.
“In the past I’ve been
more concerned with movement in and out of the canvas,” he explained. “Now I’m
more into the narrative of
the painting.”
The paintings at the
library have not been shown
in town before, although the
settings will be familiar to
those who know his art.
Many of his works are paint-
F
ed at the Codman Estate in
Lincoln, Mass., although the
focus may now be the farm
as seen through an open car
door or a windshield.
That’s what the viewer
sees in “Sedan” and in
“Sedan and Truck,” both 36by 28-inch canvases. “I started getting interested in
painting cars in late summer
and early fall,” he recalled. “I
was working on ‘Italian Garden’ at Codman, and opened
the passenger door of my
Honda Accord and painted
the view of the farm buildings from inside my car out
the passenger car door.”
Later that season, in the
midst of the brilliant colors
of fall, he painted “Sedan
and Truck.” In this painting,
he turned away from the
farm buildings and faced the
garden plots being cleaned
out for the year, again painted from the viewpoint of the
car’s interior.
A painting titled “Down
in the Dumps” is a dramatically different experience for
the viewer. The man in the
painting was a model posing
in an art class O’Neill is tak-
“Self Portrait,” oil, Craig O’Neill
ing, and he painted him with
a cigarette dangling from his
mouth, then invented the
background, complete with
barroom denizens hanging
around, playing cards, a
knocked over wine bottle
and a spilled glass of wine.
“You might start by look-

ing at his hand holding the
cards, then move to the
woman in the background,
then the cards strewn on the
table – it makes you go
round and round,” he said.
And keeping with his
interest in perspective,
O’Neill has painted the table
on a tilt, making everything
a bit off kilter, “because the
guy is perhaps a drunk,” he
said.
Another painting that
came out of his class in oils
is “Teddy, Betty and Luke,”
featuring one of O’Neill’s
cats - the Luke in the title on the couch behind a chair
holding two stuffed animals.
“The instructor wanted me
to take home a couple of
Teddy bears and paint
them,” he said. When one of
his cats relaxed on the
couch behind them, he had
his setting.
A different focus is seen
in “For all flesh as is the
grass,” taken from the Bible
– 1 Peter 1:24, and referring
to the eventual death and
return to earth of everything
living. In this 36 by 28-inch
painting, O’Neill’s wife posed reading a book, seated in
front of a grass pathway
leading to farm buildings.
“She had her finger
pointing in the book, and
that made me think of that
Bible passage – in the background are stalks of dead
sunflowers, and I was painting the passing of the season,” he said. “I was listening
to Brahms’ German Requiem, and one of its sections
speaks to the fact that no

– PROVIDER ON CALL –
PROBIOTICS
Your body contains billions of bacteria and
other microorganisms. The term "probiotics" refers to dietary supplements or foods
that contain beneficial, or "good," bacteria
that are similar to those normally found in
your body. Although you don't need probiotics to be healthy, these microorganisms
may provide some of the same health benefits that the bacteria already existing in your
body do, such as assisting with digestion and
helping protect against harmful bacteria.
In addition to supplements, probiotics can be
found in such foods as yogurt, fermented
and unfermented milk, miso, and some
juices and soy drinks. Dannon's Activia
yogurt, for instance, is an example of a probiotic food.
There is a growing public and scientific
interest in probiotics. Researchers are
studying whether probiotics taken as foods
or supplements can help treat or prevent illness. There is encouraging evidence that
probiotics may help treat diarrhea, especially following treatment with certain antibiotics; prevent and treat vaginal yeast infections and urinary tract infections; treat irritable bowel syndrome (IBS); reduce bladder
cancer recurrence; shorten the duration of
intestinal infections; prevent and treat
inflammation following colon surgery (pouchitis) or prevent eczema in children.
Some researchers believe probiotics may
improve general health. A small 2005 study
in Sweden, for instance, found that a group
of employees who were given the probiotic
Lactobacillus reuteri missed less work due to
respiratory or gastrointestinal illness than did
employees who were not given the probiotic.
More research is needed to confirm the effectiveness of probiotics. As with any dietary or
herbal supplement, consult your doctor before
starting any new treatment.
As a Family Practitioner for over 20 years in Southern New Hampshire, I have treated new borns to
individuals in their Golden Years. My staff and I
believe that prevention is the best cure. And we
like to do it the old-fashioned way, by listening and
caring for each patient as if they were our own
family. At the same time, we do not ignore the
innovations that are taking place in medicine and
participate in the EPIC electronic medical records
in conjunction with the Elliot Hospital.
Our practice is located at the Tower Hill Professional Park at 182 Rockingham Road, Suite 9,

matter what you do, all flesh
returns to the earth.”
His wife makes an
appearance in another of
the paintings on display,
“Reading at Night,” which he
describes as quite small but
packed with subject matter.
And in “Self-Portrait,”
O’Neill takes on the challenge of painting his own
painting hand. “I grew a
beard so I did a self-portrait,” he said. “This is quite
different – it’s very much
done in dark tones and conveys an ambiguous feeling
about the person in the
painting. Is he looking at the
viewer? What is he thinking?” O’Neill leaves that to
the viewer to decide.
This winter he began
painting snow scenes, particularly the view from his
family room. One painting
conveys the feeling of wind
blowing the snow, another
captures snowflakes falling.
“My goal is to get the feeling of the tangible nature of
snow as it falls and as it sits
on the trees,” he said. He’s
still working on his snow
paintings; they are not included in the library exhibit.
But as much as he enjoys
painting snow, he’s looking
forward to the change in
seasons and the chance to
paint outdoors once again.
O’Neill has been painting
since he was 8. He majored
in German literature in college and works in sales, but
his lifelong attraction to art
occupies much of his spare
time.
O’Neill will have a show
of his work at the Stoneham,
Mass., library in April.

Consortium Helps Bring Londonderry Businesses Together
JAY HOBSON
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
tacey Bruzzese, executive director of the
Greater Derry Londonderry Chamber of Commerce, is excited about
Londonderry business and
the opportunities presenting themselves to the business community.
“When I first came
aboard there wasn’t that
much going on for Londonderry businesses and we
worked at changing that
through
membership
drives, where we saw 35
new members come into
the chamber. And with new
S
programs and networking
opportunities, we’ve really
been able to grow,”
Bruzzese said.
Together with other
business leaders in the
community, a Londonderry
Consortium was started
with the desire to bring
Londonderry businesses
together to meet as their
own entity.
“What we do is meet
the second Thursday of the
month at 7:30 a.m. at Coffeeberries in the Apple
Tree Mall and discuss business issues and how they
can be remedied,” the
chamber director said. “It
is one thing for a small
business owner to have an
issue or concern with the
town, but as a group, they
can meet and discuss
those issues with each
other and with me, and
then I can go to the town
and pass those concerns
on to those who can
address the particular
issue. Having made contact
with the planning department or the acting Town
Manager, I can bring those
issues from a group, rather
than each business owner
trying to go in on their own
one by one.”
The consortium is
specifically focused on
Londonderry and allows
non-chamber businesses
to participate.
“We want to understand
and meet the needs of the
businesses by providing
networking opportunities
and sharing business
growth ideas, and as an
organization try to alleviate any issues between
business and the town,”
Bruzzese said.
Bruzzese said there is
no size requirement for a
business to join the consortium.
“Businesses in southern New Hampshire on
average are small, with one
to five employees,” she
said. “Actually 75 percent
of businesses (have) 10
employees or less. It is an
excellent way for small
businesses to have a
voice.”
Bruzzese said the
chamber is presenting the
third in a three-part series,
“The View From Up Here,”
from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m.
March 15 at the New Hampshire Aviation Museum at
Manchester-Boston
Regional Airport, with featured speaker Dennis Delay
of the New Hampshire Center For Public Policy. His
focus is on “Financing New
Hampshire’s Cities and
Towns:
2013
Update
Report.” Cost is $10 to
attend for chamber members, and breakfast will be
available.
On March 27 from 4 to 7
p.m., a Londonderry “Meet
the Business” Fair takes
place at the YMCA of
Greater Manchester, 206
Rockingham Road. Admission is free to the public,
with member businesses
charged $20 and non-member businesses charged
$30.

about the Chamber or the
consortium, contact Bruzzese at the Chamber office

Residences On Highlander Way Get New Addresses
JAY HOBSON
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
everal residences on
Highlander Way by the
Manchester-Boston
Regional Airport have been
re-addressed by the town
to be in compliance with
the Enhanced 911 system.
The reason for noncompliance, according to a
resolution before the Town
Council Monday night, is
that the properties are not
accessible by Highlander
Way because of improvements made by the airport,
which owns the property.
“This was brought to us
through a 911 call,” Direc-
S
tor of Assessing Karen
Marchant said. “There are
four buildings up there that
are rental properties and
there was a 911 issue. The
police and fire departments got up there to
answer the call and found
that Highlander Way had
been blocked off and now
they have to go through
Brown Avenue in order to
access those properties.”
Marchant said they have
an email from the airport
saying the airport is in support of the readdressing.
“It was partially their
idea to rename this road so
that we would have access
back there,” Marchant said.
Marchant said the residences are rented to pilots
while they are in Manchester.
The plan renames Highlander Way to Elm Way and
the buildings as 2E, 2F, 2G,
2H, and 2I.
In other business at
Monday’s meeting, the
changes to tax exemptions,
which were updated at the
Feb. 11 Council meeting to
reflect increases in Social
Security payments to senior citizens, were passed
unanimously.
Marchant said the last
updates to the exemptions
were made April 1, 2010,
and were an approximate 9
percent increase for elderly income and disabled
income.
She said Social Security
recipients received a 3.6
percent increase in benefits in 2012 and a 1.7 percent increase for 2013.
Marchant said the overall impact to the tax base for
exemptions is $21,500,000.
Following discussion of
the need to take care of the
town’s elderly, the council
determined there should
be an increase in the exemptions.
At the Feb. 11 meeting,
Councilor Tom Dolan suggested raising the exemption for single elders 5 percent to $39,600 and 5 per-

High
School seniors are
encouraged to pick
up a packet at school that
lists dozens of local scholarships as they look for
money to fund their college education.
The packet lists 82
scholarships,
ranging
from $100 from the Londonderry Dollars for
Scholars-Robert Day Memorial Scholarship for
“leadership and prominence in academics” to
$2,000 for the Neil F. Tyler
Jr. Scholarship Fund,
which is given to support
“a graduating senior pursuing a career in media
production.”
“Right before vacation
L
––– Election Results –––
we distributed to any
local agency that wants to
participate a packet and
they get back to us with
the information on who
they are and how much
they want to give and
what criteria are involved
in awarding the scholarship,” said Michael Dolphin, guidance director
at Londonderry High
School. “For example, it
might be a dentist who
wants to give a scholarship to a student but
wants one that is planning
on going to college for
dentistry or the medical
field in general. That’s up
to the scholarship provider as it’s their money.
“Memorial
scholarships are big here, as well
as sports and music, and
some are private and are
given by businesses and
private individuals who
want to help students
with their college costs,”
Dolphin added.
Dolphin said the
money can be dispersed
through a committee at
the school or the donors
can go through the applicants and select the recipient themselves.
“Sometimes when a
scholarship sponsor is
going through the applications, they may come
across a couple that they
want more information on
and then we’ll give that
information to them, like
where do they stand on
need or if they are getting
multiple scholarships,”
Dolphin said. “The idea is
to give as much money to
as many students as possible.”
He said all scholarship
applicants are assigned a
number and their parents
are required to provide a
FAFSA (Free Application
for Federal Student Aid),
which will give the school
the family’s EFC (Expected Family Contribution).
“That way, we can determine need,” Dolphin said.
He and Gail Butterfield, Guidance Department secretary, are the
only ones who know the
names of the students
who apply.
“The system works
and we’re able to make
sure that the neediest of
the applicants are involved and can receive
scholarships,” Dolphin
said. “We’ve got the application down to about two
pages, including an essay
of 150 to 250 words, and
it’s a pretty simple
process.”
To be eligible for the
money, students must
apply. The deadline is
March 18.

Quick Thinking, AED Save Adult Athlete
JAY HOBSON
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
avid Partin was
playing in an over30 basketball league
game at Londonderry
Middle School when he
fell to the floor and became unresponsive.
“Dave was walking
back to the opposite side
of the court going from
defense to offense when
he just collapsed to the
floor,” recalled Eric Kester, a Lieutenant with the
Derry Police Department
and an opposing team
player that night.
“He went straight
down, his knees didn’t
buckle - he just fell on his
face and cut his chin pretty bad,” Kester said.
Derek Poirier, another
player who had started
walking off the court, said
he turned when he heard
people saying, “what’s
wrong with that guy.”
“I ran over and Eric
(Kester) had started
doing chest compressions and I tried to do the
breaths because I was up
by his head,” Poirier said.
“We couldn’t get his
mouth open, he was like
seizing and his tongue
was between his teeth,
and we just couldn’t get
his mouth to open.”
Kester said it was a
chaotic scene, “with people dialing 911 and standing around in stunned
silence.”
Poirier said he called
for the AED (Automated
External Defibrillator) machine, which is located at
the front of the gymnasium. No one was moving to
get it.
“I ran to get the AED
and came back and Eric
was still doing compressions,” he said. “Dave had
gone limp by now and I
hooked up the machine to
him and applied the pads
and when everyone was
away from Dave, I pressed
the button and the
machine said to shock
Dave, so I did. After we
shocked him the machine
said to continue CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation), which Eric did. I
started mouth to mouth
and by the time I gave the
D
second breath, Dave
woke up and he said, ‘I
want to sit up.’”
Once
Partin
was
awake, both Poirier and
Kester said Dave just
looked at them and
thought he was going to
resume playing basketball.
“We told him that he
wasn’t going to do anything until the paramedics got there,” Poirier
said.
Kester said that when
Partin awoke he said,
“Please don’t do any more
CPR,” and that got a
chuckle of relief from
everyone.
“I didn’t remember
anything. I just remember
everything going black
and that I had a cut on my
chin from when I fell,”
Partin said. “I thought we
were just going to resume
the game until they told
me what had happened.”
Partin said that he had
not had any warning
symptoms.
“There was no chest
pain or pain in my arm,
nothing. I was walking one
minute and looking up at
them the next,” Partin
said.
All three men credit
the presence of the AED
in the gym and the training that Poirier and
Kester had received on
their respective jobs Kester as a police officer
and Poirier as a safety
team member at Analog
Devices in Wilmington,
Mass. - for being able to
save Partin’s life.
“If those guys weren’t
there, I don’t know what
the outcome would have
been,” Partin said.
Partin said he is feeling fine now, although he
noted that the doctors
found a 100 percent
blockage in one of his
arteries and he’s not sure
if that was what caused
him to go into “V-Fib” or a
state of fluttering heartbeat.
“They say you can
only go a few minutes
without oxygen and the
oxygen in the blood lasts
only so long, so when my
heart was fluttering, it
wasn’t pumping any oxygen and I could have been
brain dead or worse,”
Partin said.
Partin said he thanked
the guys a few days later
at the gym and wrote a
letter of thanks to Analog
Devices for training their
employee on the use of
the AED.
“I have a stent now
and the doctors say I can
return to normal activity
in about three weeks,”
Partin said.

Matthew Thornton School Principal to Retire in June

atthew Thornton Elementary School Principal Carol Mack
has announced her plans
to retire at the end of the
current school year.
In an email to parents,
Mack said her intention to
retire “was a huge decision
to make.
“I have made wonderful
relationships along the way
with the children, parents
M
and staff, so it is with
mixed feelings that I have
to let you know that I will
be retiring at the end of

Mack said she intends
to enjoy “my growing family and to pursue some of

Originally from New Jersey, Mack moved to Long
Island, N.Y., when she was
5. She attended St. Lawrence University and graduated from Hofstra Univer-
sity.
“I always wanted to be a
teacher and at St. Lawrence I took my first education class,” she said in an
earlier interview. “I was too
afraid to do student teaching so I majored in English.
I didn’t have a lot of confidence at that point so I
worked at insurance companies when I graduated
from college.”

Mack began working as a
volunteer at Matthew

“I just loved the environment of the school,”
she recalled. “After I was

ry Police were contacted
by the New Hampshire
Department for Children
Youth and Families about a
report made by a 12-yearold female middle school
student who said she had
been sexually assaulted by
Longua, father of a schoolmate, during a sleepover
at his residence.
During her interview,
she said that in the summer of 2012, she was sleeping at her friend’s house
and said Longua was “really drunk.” She told a forensic interviewer from the
Child Advocacy Center of
Rockingham County that
she felt Longua’s hand
under her shirt, which
awakened her. She said he
also put his hand down
her shorts and touched
her. She said she pushed
his hands away.
During another sleepover that summer, she was
awakened by Longua when
he put his hand up her
shirt as she was sleeping,
touched her breast, and
attempted to put his hand
down her pants. She
pushed his hands away
and told him to go.
At another sleepover a
few weeks before Jan. 1,
2013, she reported being
awakened by Longua when
he touched her under her
clothes. Her host had gone
into her mother’s bedroom
during the night.
During the interview,
she said another middle
schooler told her she had
a similar experience. The
second girl was interviewed and said Longua
“would be drunk” and
touch her inappropriately.
She said while she was
sitting next to the first girl,
Longua had rubbed her
thighs and buttocks.
Both girls described
Longua as “always drunk”
when they were at his
house.
During a visit to the
Longua residence by Laduke, Maura Longua said
her husband’s drinking
was his “weakness.” She
said her daughter had
said he “hit” one of the
girl’s buttocks and that
when she confronted him
about it, he denied it.
Two other girls of similar age were interviewed
because they had slept
over at the Longua residence. They did not report
any sexual misconduct.
Laduke said because
both girls are under 13 and
identified Longua as the
offender, described him as
“drunk” and without consent or purpose other than
for sexual gratification, he
allegedly touched them, he
believed there was probable cause to believe he had
committed the crime.
as a classroom assistant in
grade 2. At first I was very
fearful. Then I found it was
really fun to talk to the
kids, and I started bringing
books from the library
about the themes that we
were reading.”
Mack said Maria Sinclair, who is still a teacher
at Matthew Thornton, can
be credited with her
becoming a teacher. She
said Sinclair told her she
needed to be teaching.
By that time, Mack had
married Andy Mack Jr., and
he supported her desire to
return to school, where she
received a Master’s in Education. She did student
teaching at Matthew Thorn-
ton in first and fourth
grades, and was offered a
first grade teaching job
there in 1990.
“It was a delight,” she
said. “I think I have a 6-yearold’s heart. I think teaching
children to read is one of
the most wonderful things
you could do.”
She went on to become
assistant principal, and
finally principal, the latter
in 2004.
Mack said it has been an
honor and a privilege to be
principal
at
Matthew
Thornton and she expects
a highly qualified, knowledgeable and enthusiastic
individual will be hired as
her replacement.

destinations they serve,
frequency of service, type
of aircraft or ticket pricing strategies. We can suggest, but ultimately it’s up
to the airline.”
O’Neill said that over
the years the airline industry has changed both
nationally and in New England, and Manchester has
lost seat capacity to
Boston’s Logan International Airport.
Among the factors to
be considered is the cost
of jet fuel, O’Brien said.
“New Hampshire’s upper northeast geographic
location and costly winter
operations present additional challenges for making certain destinations
across the country profitable for airlines,” he
said. “Jet fuel represents
more than 40 percent of
an airline’s operating cost
and is the major driver of
most air service allocation decisions.”
O’Neill said airlines
L ONDONDERRY T IMES
have been willing to lose
money on airports like
Boston in order to maintain “market share” in a
major market.
Manchester, O’Neill
said, has 45 to 50 daily
departures that need to
achieve a desired profit
margin, while Boston has
400 to 450 daily departures that may or may not
be profitable.
Other factors in recent
years are airline mergers,
bankruptcies and acquisitions.
“Mergers, bankruptcies
and acquisitions have impacted available seat capacity nationwide,” O’Neill
said. Through mergers,
destinations have been
affected, as when Delta
merged with Northwest,
which saw Manchester
lose four daily departures
to Cincinnati, Ohio and
one daily departure to
Minneapolis, Minn. When
US Airways merged with
America West, he said,
Manchester lost four
daily departures to Pittsburgh, Penn., and when
◆
M ARCH 7, 2013
destinations are cut from
Manchester, travelers will
go to Boston to reach
those destinations.
According to O’Neil, as
well as the Airport Committee’s two Londonderry
representatives,
Steve
Young and Don Jorgensen, the entire country has been affected by
fewer
air
travelers,
increased fuel costs, a
down economy and mergers and bankruptcies.
But all is not bleak,
O’Neill said.
“Southwest Airlines
brought back their seasonal flight to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., in November,
which was two months
earlier than last year,” he
said. “Southwest is also
bringing back its popular
non-stop flights to Las
Vegas, Nev., beginning
June 2 and will operate at
least until the summer.
Delta Air Lines started jet
service to New York’s
LaGuardia Airport from
Manchester in March
2012 with one daily
roundtrip flight.”
In addition, US Airways just announced it is
adding a fourth daily
roundtrip flight to Washington National Airport
and a second daily roundtrip flight to Charlotte,
N.C., in April. Delta is also
enhancing its service to
Detroit,
Mich.,
and
Atlanta, Ga., from Manchester and in March, the
airline will again increase
the number of daily
flights to Detroit and will
introduce larger flights
with a first class cabin.
While rumors are circulating over the popular
airline
JetBlue
and
whether it will choose
Manchester or Worcester
Regional
Airport
in
Worcester, Mass., as a
new destination, JetBlue
spokesperson
Tamara
Young said “nothing official has been decided,
and JetBlue takes its passengers’ needs into account when making decisions, and no decisions of
that nature have been
made.”
JetBlue spokesperson,
Allison Steinberg, said,
“JetBlue is always looking
at possible cities to benefit our customers and has
nothing to report at this
time.”
The Worcester Telegram & Gazette newspaper reported earlier this
week that Worcester and
Massport officials are continuing efforts to bring JetBlue to Worcester.
O’Neill said Manchester has worked with JetBlue in the past. That airline flies out of Boston’s
Logan, Portland (Maine)
International Jetport,
Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks,
Conn., and Providence
(T.F. Green Airport in Warwick, R.I.). The airline has
worked from the large
Boston market to the next
largest, he said.
“Worcester is owned
by Massport, the same
owner as Logan, and I
don’t blame them for
leveraging their airlines in
Boston to use Worcester,”
O’Neill said.
O’Neill discounted the
impact of the state subsidized bus from New
Hampshire to Logan Airport. He said the bus does
take some passengers
away to Logan, but without knowing the travelers’
needs who take the bus, it
is hard to tell the impact.
He asked: Are they international travelers, are
they headed to destinations not served by airlines in Manchester? Are
they frequent flyers using
miles and want first class,
which isn’t offered by
Manchester flights?
“There are a lot of reasons people are going to
(Logan) on the bus, and
not knowing why makes it
hard to gauge its impact,”
he concluded.
O’Neill said the bottom line was to get the
traveling public to use
and see Manchester as an
airport of choice and to
get airlines to recognize
what Manchester has to
offer - passengers who
want to fly out of Manchester.

Lancer Icemen Reach D-I Semis With Dramatic Victory
CHRIS PANTAZIS
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
unior forward Curtis
Harper’s goal with
just 1:48 remaining in
overtime of the Londonderry High School hockey
team’s quarterfinal-round
tournament contest against Salem last Saturday
night handed the Lancers
their ticket back to the
Division I final four.
The dramatic, 3-2 victory pushed third-ranked
Londonderry into a semifinal meeting with the second-seeded Manchester
Central Little Green at the
JFK Coliseum in Manchester on Wednesday, March 6
after the Londonderry
Times press time.
The Lancers’ quarterfinal-round battle with
sixth-seeded Salem at the
Salem Icenter - which
serves as the home rink
J
for both LHS and the Blue
Devils - was just the kind
of struggle everybody expected. And being able to
advance on the strength of
such a dramatic win had
the Lancers soaring high in
the moments after its completion.
“It shows the growth of
Londonderry hockey that
we’ve made it back to JFK
two of the last three
years,” said LHS coach
Peter Bedford. “The first
through fourth (seeded)
teams are in, and we’ll go
back to JFK and see what
happens.”
The hotly-contested
first period of the quarterfinal match was scoreless,
but the host Lancers
enjoyed a 12-5 advantage
where shots on net were
concerned.
And it took a mere 10
seconds worth of second
period time for Londonderry to go up 1-0 when
senior forward John
Gomes - who missed
much of the regular season with a back ailment rifled a shot off the right
wing boards in the Salem
zone and had the puck
deflect off Blue Devils’
goalie Nick Phair and into
the left side of his cage.
Harper and John Dunn
collected the assists.
But Salem bagged the
equalizer six minutes later
when junior forward Brian
Frazier zoomed the puck
through the neutral zone,
into LHS territory, and
whipped a shot past
Lancer goalie Joe McGrath. Londonderry High veteran hockey player John Gomes goes airborne to keep

Lady Lancer Cagers Drive Into the D-I Semifinals
CHRIS PANTAZIS
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
irst and quarterfinalround tournament
victories over a pair
of Nashua teams last week
drove the Londonderry
High girls’ basketball team
into a Division I semifinal
battle with the toughest
Gate City contingent of all.
Veteran coach John
Fagula saw his fourth-
F
seeded Lady Lancers wallop Nashua South in the
opening round of the tourney on Wednesday, Feb.
27, at LHS, before watching them dispose of the
fifth-ranked Nashua North
Lady Titans quite handily
on that same court this
past Saturday, March 2.
And that latter victory
placed the Lady Lancers
into a semifinal-round con-
Londonderry High's star junior guard Aliza Simpson was a juggernaut for the Lady Lancers in their
tournament defeat of Nashua North last weekend.
She netted a game-high 30 points and put on a
dazzling display of dribbling as well.
test against the top-ranked
Bishop Guertin High Lady
Cardinals of Nashua, who
throttled Timberlane and
Salem in the first two tourney rounds by netting 85
and 86 points in those
matches respectively.
Lancer junior guard
Aliza Simpson was a powerhouse in both victories,
leading the way with 30
points in the 73-55 smacking of North. And even
though she and her teammates suffered a lopsided
loss to BG several months
ago - in a rematch of the
2011-12 state championship game - Simpson didn’t shy away from stating
that things would be different against the defending state champion
Lady Cardinals the next
time around.
“We’re going to make it
back to the ‘ship and beat
BG,” said Simpson moments after the quarterfinal
victory. “We’re just as good
as any team out there.”
The Lancers’ first-round
contest against 13th-ranked Nashua South was a
rematch of the final regular season game the teams
played in the Gate City on
Feb. 22.
Londonderry walked
away with a 69-49 win that
night, but LHS coach Fagula and his charges exited
feeling quite a bit less than
satisfied with that rather
sloppy victory.
But things would be far
different when the Londonderry crew walked
away from its own gymnasium on Wednesday night,
Feb. 27, with a 64-35, firstround tournament victory
over the Lady Purple Panthers.
After a sluggish first
quarter - following which
the Lady Lancers led by a
slim two points at 11-9 Londonderry kicked its
intense pressure and trapping-filled defense into
gear, and turnovers galore
were produced.
A total of 30 points
were scored in that second stanza, with Londonderry netting 26 of them to
carry a 37-13 lead and the
feeling that they had the
game in their control
going with the hosts into
their halftime meeting.
Jordan Marett and
Simpson each had 13
points for the hosts in the
first half, and Simpson
would finish the evening
with a game-high 24 points,
eight assists, four rebounds, and five steals,
while Marett tallied 16
points, six boards, and
four steals. In scoring 40
points together, that dynamic LHS duo outscored
the entire South crew by
itself.
Sophomore forward Casey Evans puts a shot up
against Nashua South during the Londonderry High
girls' basketball squad's first-round tourney thumping of that opponent last week.
In the battle with North
last Saturday night, Simpson and Casey Evans combined for 50 points to
nearly outdo the Lady
Titans all by themselves in
a 73-55 Londonderry win.
Simpson netted the
aforementioned 30 points putting forth a dribbling
exhibition worthy of
Harlem Globetrotters’ legend Marques Haynes and
shooting work that would
have brought a grin to
Larry Bird’s face - to pace
the LHS charge. Big forward Evans was good for
20 points as the Lady
Lancers advanced.
The first moments of
this game were packed
with lead changes - eight
in all - before Londonderry
zipped off a 10-2 run over
the final 3:30 to carry a 2114 lead into the second
quarter.
The Lady Lancers had
only expanded their lead
slightly by halftime (34-24)
as North battled hard, and
heading into quarter number four the hosts were up
by 11 points (50-39) as
Simpson
scored
11
smoothly by herself in the
third stanza.
Evans netted 10 big
points during the first
three minutes of the
fourth quarter, and the
hosts gradually built their
lead up to between 12 and
18 points as they put the
important win away.

LHS Boy Hoopsters Drop Their Regular Season Finale

LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
ittle about the 201213 season has been
either smooth or
easy for coach Jeff Gus-
L
tavson and his Londonderry High boys’ basketball squad. So why should
the Lancers’ regular season-ending contest have
been any different?
Athletes of the Week
Week of Feb. 25
Max Coleman, Junior,
Boys’ Basketball
This steady 11th grader had 12 points, four
rebounds,
and
two
assists in the Lancers’
final game of the season
against Winnacunnet. He
finished the regular season with a team-leading
11.7 points per game.
Casey Evans,
Sophomore,
Girls’ Basketball
One of the top young
big players in Division I,
Evans had 20 points and
eight rebounds in the
Lady Lancers’ quarterfinal-round thumping of
Nashua North.
Gustavson’s guys saw
the Winnacunnet High
Warriors from Hampton
struggle mightily with
their shooting in the Friday night, March 1 contest in Londonderry. But
the Lancers proved unable to feast on the Warriors’ frustration, dropping a 68-51 decision instead to wind up with a 513 Division I record.
The LHS contingent
will make it into the Division I tournament, but the
locals will be on one of
the bottom rungs of the
divisional ladder after
dropping seven of their
last eight decisions and
winding up a full eight
games under the .500
mark.
The visiting Warriors
finished with a solid 10-8
record and collected wins
in each of their final four
contests of the regular
season.
The Lancers began the
game with a 3-0 lead,
thanks to senior Taylor
Simpson’s successful threepoint bucket just minutes
after the LHS senior night
celebrations involving
him and the only other

But Winnacunnet netted the next eight points
despite struggling with its
shooting from the floor.
The Warriors sank only
two of their first 12 field
goal attempts, but their
ability to confound Londonderry at least intermittently with zone trapping enabled them to tally
23 points and carry a 2318 lead into the second
quarter.

only by three points (10-
7) when they could have
conceivably changed the
whole tenor of the contest.
The Warriors then
went on to outscore the
Lancers by a 38-23 margin
in the second half, despite
sinking just three of their
first 12 field goal attempts
in the third period and
leading by a paltry four
points (45-41) at the end
of that quarter.
Londonderry must be
credited for working hard
to hang tough against the
opponent, but it never
seemed as though a win
was in the cards for the
hosts on this night.
Rob Wilson was tops
among three Lancers who
scored in double figures
with his dozen points.
Max Coleman and Grant
Peters each contributed
10 to the LHS cause.

School freshman wrestling stalwart Amir
Daouk capped off his impressive first year of high
school grappling last
weekend by competing
with some of the best
young wrestlers in all of
New England.
Daouk - who finished
third at both the Division I
championships and the
state Meet of Champions
each of the previous two
weekends - had two bouts
at the regional meet, which
was held at the Providence
L
Career and Technical
Academy in Rhode Island
last Friday night and Saturday, March 1 and 2.
The local grappler was
narrowly edged by a 10-8
count by Jonathan Soto of
Johnston, R.I., in his first
bout, and then suffered a
far more decisive loss (161) to Benjamin Bliss of
Mount Mansfield, Vt., in
his second bout of the big
tournament.
Daouk was the lone
Lancer wrestler to collect
a top-three finish at the
Meet of Champions and
qualify for the New England meet.

220 points. But the
Lancers claimed a tally of
157 to end up eighth.
"The girls have been
great this year," said
coach Barden. "I'm so
happy that we not only
made top eight but that
our scores are very close
to fifth, sixth, and seventh
place. This means we're
competitive again. Top
eight was our main goal."
The spirit finals will

sport combines the skill
of the wheelchair user
with the speed and power
of the chair itself. Power
Soccer is the first competitive team sport designed
and developed specifically for power wheelchair
users. These participants
include people with quadriplegia, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy,
cerebral palsy, head trauma, and other disabilities.
Games are played in a
gymnasium on a regulation basketball court. Attaching a plastic or metal
footguard to their chair,
two teams of four players
each attack, defend, and
spin-kick a 13-inch soccer
ball in a challenging
game similar to able-bodied soccer.
The benefits of Power
Soccer are far-reaching.
This is a competitive sport
that combines strategy,
power, speed and quick
thinking. Participants also
learn good sportsmanship, build cardiovascular
endurance and upperbody strength, use differ-
ent muscle groups, and
improve their mobility
skills. And of course there
are also the benefits of
the social time the games
offer.
The Power Cats practice in the spring and fall
seasons on Saturdays in
Durham, and have several
games scheduled versus
other regional teams each
season. Players must use
their own power wheelchairs, and Northeast
Passage provides all
other equipment and
instruction.
Former Londonderry High student Joshua Foote is
one of a trio of wheelchair-bound town residents
who enjoy social interaction and a fun activity by
playing power soccer in Durham.
