Serving the Derry Area
Town Council Satisfied with
‘Do It Yourself’ Search
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
They have no regrets.
Town Council members
involved in the search for a
new Town Administrator said
this week that their Do It Yourself approach to the process is
working and an extension of
the search will bring the right
candidate to them.
The Council began the
process in earnest at the end
of April to replace John
Anderson, who terminated
his relationship with the
town last October. Using an
aggressive schedule developed by member David Fischer, they advertised in May,
began reviewing resumes in
June and brought two finalists before the community
and town staff on June 19.
The Council intended to
present a new Administrator
by July 1. But after discussing
the two finalists, Richard
Brown of Massachusetts and
Stephen Eldridge of Maine,
they announced in a special
meeting July 7 that they were
reopening the search.
Council Chair Mark
Osborne said there were no
particular red flags where
Brown or Eldridge was concerned; they just weren’t
right for Derry.
“They were both wellqualified, both good candidates and we enjoyed our time
with them,” Osborne said in a
phone interview Friday. “But
we determined it was best to
reopen the search.” Nothing to
cause alarm came from their
background checks, Osborne
added.
The reopened search will
include advertising in the
same places as before, with
one deletion. “That site only
brought us one resume,”
Osborne said.
While some Councilors
and Acting Town Administrator Larry Budreau initially
advocated hiring a search
firm, the Council eventually
agreed to try it on their own.
Osborne said he still thinks
that was the best course.
“The community, the staff
and the Council are better situated to know what the town
needs,” he said. The search
firm staff “doesn’t live here,
doesn’t do business here,
doesn’t know what goes on,”
Osborne said.
The vote was unanimous
to reopen the search,

More Parking Sought for
Center for Life Management
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
A busy mental health
center may see an improvement in its parking for
clients and staff, after the
Derry Conservation Commission reviewed a request
for more parking spaces at
its July 14 meeting.
Luke Hurley of Gove
Environmental Services and
Chris Tymula of MHF
Design represented Centerpoint Management, owners
of the Center for Life Management at 10 Tsienneto
Road. While the Conservation Commission did not
mark any red flags, it
delayed crafting a formal
approval until after a site
walk scheduled for July 23.
Hurley said the intent of
the owners was to increase
parking in the rear of the
building. “There is the existing two-story building, then
it drops down in the back
and goes up again,” he said.
“Our intent is to put a strip
of parking in the back. At
peak hours it maxes out and
you’ve got people parking
on the grass or waiting in
line for someone to pull
out.”
Tymula said the net
increase from the parking
spaces would be 53 new
spots in front of the wetland
crossing, and reducing five
existing spaces to make a
total of 174.
But member Dennis
Wiley said that when the
project was originally ap-
proved, there had been plans
to make a footbridge across
the wetland crossing and to
landscape a park on the
other side.
“One of the major
issues,” Tymula said, “is that
the Center for Life Management (CLM) is a nonprofit.
They felt it was too costly to
install a bridge.”
Tymula said the design
team went to the Technical
Review Committee on June
27 and at that time, the
Department of Public Works
expressed concern about the
three culverts planned.
“Since that meeting, we’ve
looked at it and reduced the
three to two, or maybe even
one simple box culvert,” he
told the Commission.

Possible Shortage in Federal
Funding Would Impact I-93, 4-A
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
State Sen. Jim Rausch,
R-Derry, is confident that
the widening of Interstate 93
from Windham to Manchester, and the accompanying
proposed Exit 4-A, will be
built in spite of a possible
shortage in federal funding.
Rausch was the main
architect of the 4.2 cent-pergallon gas tax increase,
which was signed into law
by Gov. Maggie Hassan in
May and went into effect
earlier this month. The
increase, the first in New
Hampshire since 1991, is
intended to pay for the
widening of I-93 and the
building of Exit 4-A, both of
which are in the current 10-
year Highway Improvement
Plan but, until the gas tax
increase, were unfunded.
The gas tax increase is
expected to pay for $200
million of the $250 million
project, with funding from
the Federal Highway Trust
Fund for the remaining $50
million.

Conservation Commission Endorses Multifamily Complex
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
The Derry Conservation
Commission has given its
endorsement to a proposed
multifamily complex at the
junction of Kendall Pond
Road and Magnolia Road.
Engineer Eric Mitchell
appeared at the July 14
Conservation Commission
meeting to represent the
developers of the property,
which is Tax Map 21 Lot 37.
Mitchell said there
would be 18 parking spaces
under the building and a total
of 43 in all. He said snow
storage would be to the north
of the sedimentation pond.
Mitchell said there was
enough room for snow,
though in an unusual year the
management would take out
any overflow, he added.
Several members expressed concern about snow
storage. Chairman Margaret
Ives pressed for clarification

as to whose responsibility it
was to take out any excess
snow. “Would it be the condo
association’s responsibility?”
she asked.
“If there is a condo association,” Mitchell responded.
“We’re not sure yet if this
will be condos or rentals.”
But he promised an entity
would be in charge.
Member Riccardo Buzzanga expressed concern that
the excess snow would “end
up in the neighbor’s yard.”
He proposed extending the
fencing to the north side of
the snow storage area, and
Mitchell said this was possible.
Member Richard Tripp
asked what medium would
be used to melt snow and ice
in the parking lot. “Do you
intend to use salt?” he asked.
“It’s a discussion worth
having,” Ives said. “What is
the alternative?”
Mitchell presented potassium chloride as an option,
and members expressed approval. “If there’s anything
better, you’ll find it,” Ives
said to Mitchell.
Member Eileen Chabot
asked what was going to be
in the infiltration trenches
and Mitchell said it would be
crushed stone and silt.
The Commission voted
unanimously to have Ives sign
the plans, with the caveats that
the catchbasin be maintained,
potassium chloride be used
instead of salt, the fence be
extended, the stormwater
management plan be firmed
up before going to the Planning Board, and infiltration
trenches be included in the
stormwater management plan.

‘Small Town Feel’ at Taylor Library Carnival
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
Freyja Landers-Renouf,
4, got up from the face-painting booth at the Taylor
Library Carnival and ran to
her mother, Marla. “I got a
heart!” she said, pointing to
her cheek.
The annual Carnival, on
Thursday, July 10, showed a
lot of heart and hometown
fun as it drew parents, grandparents and most importantly, children to the shaded
parking lot behind the antique brick building. Children tried their hands at oldfashioned games as parents
visited and younger siblings
watched from their strollers.
Staff and volunteers
could be spotted by their
acid-green T-shirts proclaiming the Summer Reading
Program’s science theme,
“Fizz! Boom! Read!” As she
set up the prize table, Chil-
Council
continued from page 1
Osborne said, adding that he
is optimistic. “We hope to
have an announcement by
mid-September,” he said.
Councilor Joshua Bourdon, who works in the
staffing industry, initially
advocated that the Council
try doing it themselves, and
then turn to a search firm if
no appropriate candidate
came up. He has since
decided to continue with the
Council-driven search, he
said in a phone interview
Friday. “This process is
working and I’d like to continue with it,” Bourdon said.
“I think it is absolutely
working and we have evidence of it working,” Bourdon said. “It’s important to
dren’s Librarian and Assistant Director Fran Mears
said the tradition was started
by former director Marge
Palmer.
Director Linda Merrill
staffed the registration table,
where children received a
check-off sheet for the games
they played. Completed
sheets were redeemable for
prizes that included sun
catcher kits and other craft
projects, stickers, Matchbox
cars - and, most importantly,
books.
Shawn Morency, 5, looked over the prizes with his
grandmother Deborah McMahon. McMahon, who
lives nearby, said it was their
first time at the Carnival, but
that they go to Story Hour
and other events at the
library. “We try to go to all
the things they have,”
McMahon said.
Shawn said, “I liked the
get the right person in here we’re willing to take all the
time we need.”
Bourdon said the process
has worked so far for three
reasons. First, he said, “I
like the fact that the people
who apply do it on their own
accord.” They aren’t being
pushed or coaxed by a
“headhunter,” according to
Bourdon. “They take the
first step, and they’re showing initiative.”
He also thinks the process
is working because while the
Council does the initial
review of resumes, the staff
and public are involved
through the stakeholders’
forums. “We have multiple
stakeholders giving their
input,” Bourdon said. While
the forum June 19 didn’t pack
the hall, he said many of his
constituents took the option
Polar Express - and the hot
chocolate!”
Adam Burke, 16, and his
brother Nick, 11, are alumni
of Story Hour, the Carnival
and Polar Express, and they
come back every year to vol-
unteer. “It’s fun seeing the
little kids having fun,” Adam
said, “and it’s cool to give
back.”
“My favorite game was
the beanbag toss,” Nick said,
adding, “I won a book one
year.”
Last week their givingback began with making balloon animals and hats. The
two Burkes and their mother,
Kim, a library trustee, twisted balloons under the direction of 11-year-old Ben
Borges. Ben’s sister Emily
ran one of the games, and his
mother, Wendy, joined the
balloon-twisting group. “Kim
roped me in,” she said with a
smile.
Barbee Harrington of
Chester was also a lastminute volunteer, taking
over a duck pond game when
she saw the need. “We live in
Chester, but we come to
Story Hour here,” Harrington said. “We very much
enjoy it here - the staff seems
to really like the kids.”
Children tossed beanbags into squares, fished for
rubber duckies, lined up for
face painting and temporary
of watching it on Derry Community Television.
The interview and public
forum process also works
because it puts the candidate
in multiple lights, according
to Bourdon. “They show us
their writing skills with the
cover letter, their private
speaking skills in the interview, their public speaking
skills in the community and
staff forums,” he said.
Bourdon, who was elected this past March, found
himself involved in the
Council search a little more
than a month later. He has no
regrets there either, noting,
“That’s why I ran for Council. I wanted to help the town
find a leader that is worthy of
us and well-qualified.”
Bourdon has high praise
for the other freshman
Councilor, David Fischer,
who developed the schedule
and acted as facilitator. Initially, he recalled, Fischer
had been an advocate of the
search firm option. “Initially, he did not want to do it
this way,” Bourdon noted.
“But when the vote was cast,
he got on board and he led
the way. He has shown
tremendous leadership.”
Fischer, the administrator
of the first search, has no
regrets either. While he initially advocated for a search
firm based on his experiences
as a school superintendent,
he said Friday that he still
thinks having the Council do
the search is the way to go.
Fischer created the first
schedule for finding an administrator and tweaked it for the
reopened search. It will be
essentially the same timeline
as the first search but with different dates, he said in a phone
interview. The posting of the
job went out July 9, with a
deadline of Aug. 15. The
Council will review resumes
on their own time, with all
resumes kept in a secure spot
in the Council office, and on
Aug. 18 they will hold a nonpublic session to go over the
applications and determine
their semi-finalists. They will
update the public on the
search in their Aug. 19 regular
meeting, and report on the
number of applicants.

case of the smallest children,

As shadows gathered
under the trees, the sound of

Parents made plans for kids’

No Easy Task
Hiring a town administrator or manager is never easy. But what we’re seeing in
Derry now, and what happened recently in
Londonderry, makes it a whole new ballgame.
In Londonderry, the town didn’t act
fast enough to nab its preferred choice,
who took another job, and had to start over.
In Derry, the top two candidates were
brought in to meet staff and the public,
only to have the Council Chairman say
afterward that no one on the council
thought they could offer the job to either of
them in good conscience.
No more is it finding a semi-round peg
to cram into a round hole and call it good.
The right candidate is more than the sum of
his or her parts – more than education,
willingness to move to town, or even
municipal experience.
Just look at what happened in Londonderry, when Kevin Smith, with no municipal experience but a background in politics, was selected as town manager. He
seems to be working out just fine.
That could happen in Derry. The first call
for applicants sought experience in municipal management. The Council has changed
that - the most recent job ad seeks someone
with experience in executive management, a
far broader category, with municipal government experience preferred.
And one Town Councilor, Al Dimmock, is still holding a preference for a
Derry resident. But it’s likely anyone in
Derry who wanted the job would have
already applied – unless that expanded
experience category changes the playing
field.
Town Councilor David Fischer commented, “The best fit is very, very important
because we don’t want to put ourselves in
the position where we are settling for someone to fill the position. We want someone
who is committed to this town and to making sure that commitment and passion
translates into moving Derry forward.”
Town Council Chairman Mark
Osborne said the decision to reopen the
search was unanimous. He added that not
only did the Town need a qualified and
dynamic candidate, but someone who
would remain for years to come.
We’ll likely never know what happened
at the public and staff interviews to convince the councilors they didn’t have the
right candidate from the two they had chosen as finalists. And even though some
members had earlier said that if the effort
didn’t work out, they would turn to a search
agency, they’re headed on a new search on
their own.
Derry is hardly the easiest place to
manage, and the Council’s focus alters
with each election. But until a new administrator is chosen, at least the town remains
in good hands with Larry Budreau as acting administrator.
Views on Media
To the editor:
My name is John
Potucek, and I’m running
for the position of State Representative for Derry, NH. I
was reading the 125th Anniversary Edition of the Wall
Street Journal last week and
something very interesting
caught my eye. It was an
editorial by William H.
Grimes, the editor of the
Wall Street Journal, dated
Jan. 2, 1951. It was named.
“A Newspaper’s Philosophy,” and here is the editorial in its entirety.
“On our editorial page
we make no pretense of
walking down the middle of
the road. Our comments and
interpretations are made
from a definite point of
view. We believe in the individual, in his wisdom and
his decency. We oppose all
infringements on individual
rights, whether they stem
from attempts at private
monopoly, labor union
monopoly or from an overgrowing government. People will say we are conservative or even reactionary. We
are not much interested in
labels but if we were to
choose one, we would say
we are radical. Just as radical as the Christian doctrine.
“We have friends but
they have not been made by
silence or pussyfooting. If
we have enemies, we do not
placate them.”
Although times have
changed, the mission of
“The Fourth Estate” has not.
It seems to me that many in
“The Fourth Estate” (a.k.a.
the “Media”) have kind of
“lost their way” and really
need to re-align and re-establish themselves to be the stalwart champions of individual freedoms that they have
always been in the past.
Thank you for letting me
share my thoughts about this
extremely important idea.

Foley for State Senate
To the editor;
Jim Foley has worked
very hard over the years as
the man behind the scenes.
Many have not had the fortune to meet Jim yet in person, however I’m sure more
and more citizens will have
the pleasure of doing so in
the next few months.
Jim’s leadership has
made the Derry Republican
Party one of the state’s most
respected and liked group
spanning over many years,
and the interesting part is
that Jim has worked very
hard in making the organization this way, yet he lets others be the face of the party.
You see, it takes a leader
who recognizes that team
means everything, and Jim
has always been that type of
leader. He stands with all his
party members, recognizing
that many in the party hold
various views on the issues.
Jim always encourages
members to stand up for
their convictions even when
some don’t agree. This is the
true test of a great leader.
Even Democrats I know
from Derry respect the hard
work Jim has done to make
it a strong, vocal and well
respected Republican Party.
Now Jim wants to take
his leadership skills to the
State Senate, where we can
expect that same dedication,
hard work and respect
towards getting things done
for the citizens of our state.
Please join me in supporting Jim Foley for State
Senate on Sept 9.

A decades-old dock may
receive some shoring up in
order to enable summer residents to continue to enjoy
their historic property.
The Derry Conservation
Commission heard a preliminary report from Luke Hurley of Gove Environmental
Services regarding improvements to the dock at 37-39
Taylor Brook Road, owned
by Dan and Anne Connelly
of New Jersey.
Hurley told the Commission at its July 14 meeting
that the application for the
improvements has not yet
been filed but he was giving
the Commission preliminary
information. Hurley said the
property is on a private road
on Island Pond and involves
two summer homes. Anne
Connelly owns #37 with her
husband and #39 jointly
with her sister, he said, and
the property has been in the
family for generations.
There is currently a 4x10
foot dock on the 37 Taylor
Brook property, Hurley said.
A stone wall has been located near the dock for years.
The Connellys rebuilt the
wall a few years ago and did
not have a permit, “so this is
after the fact,” he said. The
Connellys also want to
extend the dock from 4x10
feet to 4x24 feet, he said.
They also want to put in
two railings to help with
access, he said.
They have not yet
applied for their dredge-andfill permit, he said. The project does not need a shoreland permit because they are
not applying to build additional structures, he said.
Chairman Margaret Ives
said she looked forward to
hearing more about the project.

Children’s Librarian Hired at Derry Public Library
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
Nicole Giroux started
out to be a high school English teacher. But she found
she preferred connecting
young people with books
without the rigors of a
school setting, and she
changed course to become
Derry Public Library’s new
Children’s Librarian.
Giroux, of Haverhill,
Mass., joined the staff three
weeks ago, following Children’s Librarian Evan Bush,
who took a position in Georgia. Building on Bush’s
foundation, she will supervise the children’s library
staff, interact with kids and
parents, and make sure
books get into the hands of
the children who love them.
Giroux, originally from
Methuen, Mass., did her
undergraduate work in English at Clark University in
Worcester, Mass. She had
originally planned to go into
the Clark master’s in teaching program, but in her student teaching phase, she
found she didn’t care for the
disciplinary functions that
go along with high school
teaching. She wanted to connect kids with books, period.
“It was not a good fit,”
Giroux said.
She took five years off
from academia, working in
retail and gaining management experience. When time
and money allowed, she
entered the Master’s in
Library Science program at
Simmons College in Boston,
and added a second Master’s
in Children’s Literature. She
gained on-the-ground experience as a library aide in the
children’s and young adult
sections of the Topsfield,
Mass. public library.
When she graduated in
May, she began looking for
a position. Susan Brown of
the Derry Public Library
invited her for a visit, and

she was immediately
entranced. “The staff was so
friendly, and so team-driven,” she recalled.
She researched the
library’s children’s depart-
ment and concluded that it
was a department without “a
lot of fixing to do. Evan left
it in good shape,” she said.
“I wouldn’t have to fix anything, just build on what

just excited about the programming, but about coming in to get books.”
Giroux was always a
reader, and remembers her
first favorite books as being
Dr. Seuss’s. “My favorite for
a long time was ‘One Fish,
Two Fish,’” she said. Later
she immersed herself in the
“Chronicles of Narnia” and
the Harry Potter series.
In high school she “fell in
love” with Young Adult literature. “They helped me become
the person I am today,” she
said, pointing out that today’s
Young Adult books are “powerful. They have great stories,
tension, drama.”
But she also loves children’s literature, and was privileged to lead story time during
her last months in Topsfield.
She also enjoys middle-grade
books, early readers, and the
entire spectrum of children’s
books, she said.
She keeps an eye on
trends and noted that she’s
interested in some upcoming
books, including Debra
Wildes’ 1960s trilogy. “It’s
historical fiction set in the
‘60s,” she said. “It’s great
for immersing kids in that
time period.”
She’s also excited about
a graphic novel series, “The
Yedi Files,” about supernat-

ural detectives.
While “The Hunger
Games” and “Divergent” set
the pace for a few years, she
noted that the industry is
stepping away from dystopian fiction and that realistic
stories are coming back in,
such as the recent book-intomovie success of “The Fault
In Our Stars.”
She also has high hopes
for Rainbow Powell’s “Fan
Girl,” a story-within-a-story
about a girl who writes “fan
fiction.”
She’s excited to work with
both her staff and the Derry
Library staff at large, noting
the range of talents among the
librarians and aides.
In her spare time, Giroux
enjoys making steampunk
jewelry, gaming - board,
video and role-playing - and,
of course, reading.

I-93 Exit 4A
Fund is nearly depleted and
federal funding for I-93
could be cut if Congress
does not vote to replenish
the fund.
Rausch, who is retiring
this year, said, “Our representatives in Congress must
work diligently to make sure
that we don’t lose that.”
But with 80 percent of
the project money state-generated, he is confident the
work will go forward. He
also said New Hampshire
has millions of dollars in
“toll credits” from its work
on the turnpike system, and
he expected that money to
be brought into the equation.
“That is more than sufficient to finish the work on I93,” Rausch said. “I-93 will
continue.”
But he recognized that,
“The loss of any money
from the federal government
affects us.”
“There is a concern
about the impact of a reduction to the Federal Highway
Trust Fund,” Bill Boynton,
spokesman for the New
Hampshire Department of
Transportation (DOT), said.
“The potential insolvency of
the fund is a 50-state concern.”
Boynton added, “We at
DOT are taking steps to
make sure the projects we
have ongoing now will continue to go forward.”
But Boynton said the
DOT is moving slowly on
other potential projects, and
has delayed advertising for
contractors for another $25
million worth of construction. “In some cases, we’re
delaying it by weeks, in
some by months,” he said.
Boynton added that in
the matter of the I-93 widening, he does not currently
see a funding shortage. “The
money from Sen. Rausch’s
bill should pay for the
widening from Windham to
Manchester,” he explained.
But a portion of the project will still be funded by
federal money, Boynton
said, and “if the money is
not there, it will be a problem.”
The road toll credits are
part of the overall process,
Boynton said.
For now, his department
will continue the projects currently underway, including
the widening of I-93 at Exit 3
in Windham. As for the future
widening, he said, “Is I-93
immune to cuts? No.”
Project Manager Pete
Stamnas of the Highway
Design Bureau said if the
federal money didn’t come
through, it would require
some adjustment in the
plans. “The $50 million,” he
said, would be the equivalent of one of the projects
needed to finish the northern
section of the road widening.
Stamnas said the project
is divided into four compo-
nents:
• 1. The stretch from the
way station in Windham to
Kendall Pond Road in
Derry, to be advertised in
2015 and with construction
expected to begin in 2016;
• 2. The Exit 4 interchange and the stretch from
Kendall Pond Road to Ash
Street, to be advertised in
late 2015 and constructed in
2016. This phase of the project also includes replacement of the bridge on Route
102, the Ash Street bridge
and the Beaver Brook
bridge;
• 3. Ash Street to the
south end of the Exit 5 ramp
in Londonderry, advertised
in 2016, with construction
beginning in 2017; and
• 4. North of Exit 5 to the
I-293 “split” in Manchester,
advertised in 2016, with
construction beginning in
2017.
Stamnas said with all
funding available, the widening would be completed
by 2020.

Former Helper Goes on to Lead Summer Cooking Classes
PENNY WILLIAMS
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
Kaitlyn Lew is in her element teaching Basic Cake
Decorating, Cupcake Creations and Kids’ Chef’s Club
for the Derry Cooperative
School District Enrichment
Summer Camp. Lew, who
currently attends Johnson &
Wales University in Providence, R.I., and is planning a
career in culinary arts, got
her start as an eighth grader
assisting the teacher who
taught similar classes.
Serena Levine, Summer
Enrichment Coordinator for
the Derry schools, said that
at the time, she wondered
whether an eighth grader
could be a summer camp
assistant. She said with a
smile that it has obviously
worked very well.
“Kaitlyn was a success
from day one because of her
enthusiasm, commitment and
focus, and she displays those
same characteristics now as
she teaches these camps,’
Levine said. “It is wonderful
she is now back here teaching
her own classes.”
Lew, while never losing
the thread of what she was
helping her students do, said
she has always enjoyed
cooking and is having fun
teaching camp classes.
The students were up to
their elbows in frosting,
working at learning how to
make a line and a flower.
Lew said they would
progress a little further each
day. She said she prepared
the frosting at home and
brought it in ready to go
because this allows another
half hour to teach her young
students different things
they can do with frosting.
The students baked their
cakes at home the next day
and then during class the
following day, they learned
how to level, smooth, and
prepare the cake for frosting
and frost it. On the final day
of camp, they decorated the
cakes, and took the finished
creation home to enjoy with
their family.
“I give the students the
recipe for the frosting so
they can make it at home on
their own,” Lew said as one
student surreptitiously scooped a finger full of frosting
into her mouth. “Today we
will learn to make the flowers and put them on cupcakes.”
The youngest student,
Ashleigh Aboshar, said, “I
am really enjoying this
camp because I am getting
to learn new things and have
the opportunity to try different things. I am really having fun.”
The frosting lover, Erin
Menzel, 12, said, “I love to
bake and eat frosting so I am
having lots of fun. I like
learning how to design
things for cupcakes and
cakes.”
Twelve-year-old Madison Blake added, “I like
learning how to frost a cake
and to make different flowers and designs. I only knew
a little about this sort of

Enrichment Summer Camp on Basic Cake Decorating. From left are Madison

thing before but I am enjoying both the doing and the
tasting.”
Lew went to each student and helped them with
the frosting bag and the
flower making while keeping up a constant flow of
information. The students
were engaged and soaking
up all Lew had to share.
Several of the girls will
move on to Lew’s next class,
Cupcake Creations, where
the students get to be creative in what they form with
the cupcakes. Cupcake
“wars” are not out of the
question but the learning
and creating is such fun the
students beg for more.
Her final morning ses-
sion is Kids’ Chef’s Club.
Ashleigh is in that class and
said, “We did breakfast yesterday and it was so good.”
Snacks were next up on the
menu.
And Lew said that after
class she will head home to
whip up more frosting for
the next day’s culinary
adventures.

Pinkerton Has First Female Commander of JROTC
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
Shaun Grinnell is the
first female commander for
the Air Force Junior Reserve
Officer Training Corps
(ROTC) at Pinkerton Academy.
Grinnell, a junior from
Derry, was named to her
post before the end of
school. It’s the culmination
of a three-year journey for
the student, and the first step
in a longer one.
Grinnell said she has
always wanted to enter military service, and participation in the Pinkerton Junior
ROTC was “a given.” She
joined the program in her
freshman year.
“I was excited and invested but not as much as I
am now,” she recalled. She
was nervous, but realized
early on what opportunities
the program could offer her,
and had several talks with
Lt. Col. Howie Steadman,
director of the program, and
his staff.
She said Steadman and
his instructors “hinted at me
over the years” that she
could handle the post of
commander.
The post is not based on
rank, she said, noting that
another student has a higher
rank than she; and there’s no
rubric for achievement such
as there is with Eagle Scouting. There is no checklist,
she added. But service does
matter, and she put in her
time working on the military
balls, in the color guard and
drill team, and in community service, and discipline
and dedication won out.
Grinnell likes the Junior
ROTC and the military in
general for the discipline
and the lifestyle. “It’s a different lifestyle - the integrity
is amazing,” she noted. And
while the money isn’t her
main objective, she’s hoping
to be accepted at the U.S.
Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo., and
have her college paid for.
She visited the Academy
this spring and came away
impressed, she said.
She’s excited about
learning to fly, she added.
She has always flown with
her father in a small plane,
and noted that he is a private
pilot. She received a scholarship from a group called
the Daedalians for flying
lessons and is taking them
this summer in Nashua, and
expects to solo by the end of
the summer.
Her goal is to fly for the
Air Force, she said.
It’s been a busy summer
for Grinnell, with the Air
Force Academy trip and
Granite Girls State. She
enjoyed the Girls State training in civic involvement, she
said, and added that she may
run for office when she’s
older. She’s also planning a
mission trip to Ecuador with
her church, Calvary Bible
Church.
And she has a program
to direct. Her goals for
ROTC include more focus
on community service, she
said, adding, “I’m interested
in growing that part of the
program.” She’s also interested in presenting ROTC to
younger students, such as
middle-schoolers, for their
eventual entrance into Pinkerton. It’s not recruiting for
the military so much as
emphasizing the benefits of
ROTC to students, which
include “dedication, discipline and honor.”
Grinnell is a member of
the Pinkerton Destination
Imagination team, runs
track, and belongs to both
the Color Guard and Drill
Team at ROTC. She also
takes AP (Advanced Placement) courses.
How does she make it
work? Persistence and prioritizing, she said, explaining,
“It’s not humanly possible to
get everything done. I put
things into their time slots.”
She keeps up with military issues and noted that
current issues include
women’s rights and sexual
harassment, although she
added that is being worked
on; funding, “a huge issue;”
Shaun Grinnell is the first female commander for the
Air Force Junoir Reserve Officer Training Corps
(ROTC) at Pinkerton Academy.

and, amazingly, the lack of
work for people coming out
of the service academies.
“You’re commissioned as a
second lieutenant and you
don’t have a job,” she said,
or at least not the one you
trained for. She doesn’t
think she’ll have that problem, she added - “I’m going
to fly C-130s, and that’s
pretty specialized.”
She is the daughter of
Allen and Cheryl Grinnell
and has a brother, Elias, 12,
and a sister, Sierra, 11.
“Sierra was named after one
of our airplanes,” she said
with a smile.
Grinnell will go back to
school this fall with big
plans for her cadets and a
picture of what ROTC
should be. Like the regular
military, she said, “I’m not
the most important part - it’s
all of us doing things.”

Mad Science Comes to Summer Recreation Program
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
“Jurassic Joe” Latino
held up a glass beaker
before a group of 25 children. “We like bubbles,” he
said as he added dry ice to
the flask and a white cloud
of bubbles came out. He
passed handfuls of the fluffy
white substance to giggling
children, who busied themselves “popping” the bubbles and watching the carbon dioxide escape. “Don’t
put it in your mouth - it is
soap,” Latino advised.
Latino brought his Mad
Science “Hot and Cold” to
Derry Parks and Recreation
last week. As children gathered on the lawn in front of
the new pavilion at Don Ball
Park, he made science part
of their “hot fun in the summertime.”
Latino started with a few
rules. The first was to listen,
and the second was not to
touch his things. “You need
to promise you won’t touch
the things on the table,” he
said. The third rule was to
put your hand up if you
wanted to volunteer.
Latino compared science
to magic. The initial result is
often the same, he said, but
there’s one big difference: in
magic, the “how” behind the
trick is never explained. “In
science, we tell you - we
explain everything,” he said.
Latino talked about fire
first and listed the three
things a fire needs to burn:
fuel, oxygen and heat. He
did a card trick with a girl
named Gracie and put one
playing card in a metal covered dish, then touched a
butane lighter to it. When he
had Gracie look inside, she
discovered that the card was
not burned.
Latino discussed the difference between physical
and chemical changes, ripping a piece of paper in half
to demonstrate physical
change and setting it on fire
to demonstrate chemical
change. He talked about a
discovery made by a scientist 200 years ago when the
man’s new puppy knocked
over the chemicals on his
desk, soaking the scholar’s
notes. The man hung his
notes by the fireplace to dry,
only to discover the notes
gone - with no ashes. Inadvertently he had discovered
“flash paper,” Latino said.
“It makes the paper burn so
fast, there’s not time for
smoke or ashes,” he said.
He called 8-year-old
Riley Sanborn to the front to
help him with another
experiment. He asked what
was in an empty plastic jug
and the children responded,
“Air!” After pouring a small
quantity of Ethanol in the
jug, he gave it to Riley and
instructed her to dance. As
Chubby Checker’s “The
Twist” blared from Latino’s
speakers, Riley danced and
shook the jug. When she
was done, Latino lit a match
and a blue flame erupted.
“We just created an exothermic reaction,” he said.
Latino moved to the
cooler side with a chunk of
dry ice, after putting on
work gloves to handle the
minus 110 degree chill. He
touched a metal spoon to the
side of the dry ice, then displayed it to the children.
“The frost went right
through the spoon,” he said.
He called four children to
the front to hold glass tubes
filled with colored liquids.
As he put dry ice in each
tube, bubbles flowed to the
surface and the liquid inside
changed colors. “I put a
chemical ‘indicator’ in each
tube and the dry ice reacted
with it and changed the
color,” he told the audience.
Latino brought it to the
children’s level, reminding
them that carbon dioxide is a
component of carbonated
drinks such as Coca-Cola.
“Cola has bubbles, and they
build up inside - eventually
you burp,” he told them. He
cracked jokes, some adlibbed, and delighted the
children by borrowing one
girl’s leopard-ear headband.
Like a magician, Latino
saved his best stunt for last.
“In scary movies they do a
couple of things to frighten
you, and one of them is
often making things foggy,”
he said. “A lot of times they
use dry ice to create the fog.”
He added hot water to a
bucket full of dry ice, creating a white fog-like substance, and brought it
around the group so each
child could cool off on the
hot day.

feel of dry ice near his

Frogs are Focus of Derry Library Summer Reading Program
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
Sarah Mentus of the New
Hampshire Audubon Society
moved slowly around a
group of eager children seated on the linoleum floor of
the Derry Public Library
meeting room as she dis-
played a frog skeleton,
impeccably cleaned and
mounted in a wooden box.
As children strained to see
the remains one boy burst
out, “That is so cool!”
The amiable amphibian
was the star at a Derry Public Library Summer Reading
Program Thursday, July 10.
Mentus and staff member
“Miss Eileen” Dugal blended frog fact and fiction in the
event, part of the “Fizz!
Boom! Read!” summer science emphasis.
The afternoon was
multi-media, with Dugal
first showing a classic cartoon based on the Pete
Seeger song, “The Foolish
Frog.” Seeger sang about a
bullfrog, “Way down South
in the Yakkity Yak,” which
jumped “from back to back”
because he “had nothing
better to do.” The Pied Piper
of a frog drew people to the
country store, where summer people, children, cows
and skillet-toting mothers all
gathered to sing about it,
leaving the fields, kitchens
and fishing holes empty.
Dugal followed with a
variation on the song in
which animals followed the
bullfrog around, and she
passed out rhythm instruments and puppets of a bee,
chicken, duck and frog. The
children followed her directions and were soon hopping, croaking, buzzing and
clucking around the lecture
room.
Then Mentus took over,
with a quick lesson of frog
facts. She distinguished
between a reptile and an
amphibian, noting that
amphibians have backbones
and can live on land.
“Frogs have a cool life
cycle,” Mentus said, sketching how they lay their eggs
in a spot resembling a blob
of jelly with black dots, the
eggs hatch into tadpoles, and
the tadpoles grow back legs
first and then front legs
before their tail “grows back
in” to their body. She
demonstrated with a stuffed
amphibian that became first
a tadpole and then a frog as
legs emerged and tail was
absorbed.
How do you distinguish
gender? Mentus had a helpful hint. On male frogs, the
eardrum is bigger than the
eyes; on females it’s equal in
size or smaller.
She gave a quick lesson
on frogs found in New
Hampshire, including the
bullfrog, spring peeper, gray
tree frog, American toad,
green frog, pickerel frog,
leopard-spotted frog and
wood frog.
She brought out four live
examples, each in a plastic
container, and ranging from
a tiny spring peeper to a
good-sized female bullfrog.
One frog clung to the side of
its case, and as she tilted the
box to show its tenacity, the
children chorused, “That’s a
tree frog!”
After the formal presentation, Mentus allowed the
children to come up and
look at each frog in its container.

summer programs, contact
the library at 432-6140.

Derry Senior Legion Crew Bags a Big Walk-Off Win
CHRIS PANTAZIS
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
Both the Derry Post 9
and Londonderry Post 27
Senior American Legion
baseball squads have been
working intensely during the
final weeks of the District B
regular season to snag tournament spots.
It was with that goal in
mind and both teams hovering dangerously around the
.500 mark - and potentially
out of tourney contention that the rival local contingents met up in Derry on
Pinkerton Academy’s junior
varsity hardball field for an
important contest last
Friday, July 11.
From the spectators’
standpoint, the game they
played was entertaining,
well played, and intense,
with perfect summer weather supporting the evening of
baseball.
Coach Rick Brothers’
Londonderry crew walked
away from the Derry field
lamenting the fact that an
important victory had gotten
away, and coach Dylan
Mullin’s host team had
every reason to feel celebratory after bagging the 3-2,
walk-off victory which, it
hoped, pointed it toward the
tournament berth it so
desires.
As they walked away
from the Pinkerton field,
both sides were left to contemplate the fact that they
now had matching 6-6
records, with the 2014 summer campaign ebbing away.
Pitchers Connor Sahlin
of Londonderry - by way of
Litchfield’s Campbell High
School - and Chase Spears
of Derry engaged in a hurling duel, with Spears ending
up victorious after working
his way out of a bunch of
messes and Sahlin receiving
a no-decision after Derry did
the damage that garnered it
the walk-off win against the
Londonderry bullpen.
Londonderry busted a 11 tie by scoring a single run
in the top of the ninth, only
to see Derry bag the 3-2 win
dramatically in the latter
half of that frame.
Along with the fact that
the game ended in that manner, much of Londonderry’s
frustration came from the
fact that it stranded 13 runners on base and eight in the
first four innings alone.
“We just left way too
many runners on base. That
was the big thing for us in
this game,” said Brothers.
Brothers’ bunch left two
men on base in the top of the
first inning, three on in the
second, one in the third, and
two more in the fourth without plating a run to show for
its considerable efforts.
And pitcher Sahlin kept
Derry scoreless during that
span as well, so the score sat
firmly at 0-0 after four full
frames.
Sahlin and Spears then
kept the score at 0-0 through
six full, with Londonderry
finally busting through - but
just for a single run - in the
top of the seventh. And the
Post 27 side left the bases
loaded again as well.
Londonderry got three
singles in a row to start the
frame, with Jake Welch
thumping the third of those
to drive in teammate Zach
Tavano with the run.
Derry didn’t get the
equalizer until the bottom
half of the eighth when
Chris Gerossie laced a single that plated teammate
Joey Murphy, who had led
off the inning with a bunt
single.
The 1-1 tie didn’t stand
up for long, however, as
Londonderry snagged its
second run in the top of the
ninth when Welch led off by
rapping a single, moving to
second base on a wild pitch,
We Service all Makes and Models
and sprinting to third on a
stolen base. He scored
moments later on Rob Del
Signore’s clutch single.
Leading 2-1 going into
the bottom of the ninth with
three outs to get to bag the
important win, Brothers
stuck to his strong and timetested principles and decided not to send starting pitcher Sahlin - who struck out
nine batters, walked just
one, and allowed eight hits
in eight innings - back out to
the mound for the vital ninth
and those three outs.
“He had thrown 118
pitches, and I wasn’t putting
him back out there,” said
Brothers. “He didn’t say
anything about it, it was my
call. I haven’t gotten any
kids hurt in 19 years and I’m Derry pitcher Chase Spears put forth a bulldog pernot going to do it now.”

Derry Junior Legion Baseball Squad Endures a Slide
CHRIS PANTAZIS
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
The youthful Derry Post
9 Junior American Legion
baseball squad ran head-first
into a couple of determined
opponents last week, and
didn’t make out tremen-
dously well.
Coach Jim DeBonis’
Derry crew stepped into an
important District B first
division contest against the
tough Salem squad in Derry
on Tuesday, July 8, having
already beaten that talented
opponent once in the young
2014 season. But it would be
an extremely tough night to say the least - for the
home-standing Legion 9
side in the rematch.
DeBonis’ local bunch,
which had defeated Salem
by a 4-2 tally on the opponent’s home diamond on the
evening of Thursday, June
26, to hand that 6-1 squad its
first and only loss of the
summer, ran into Salem
lefty pitcher Christian Harris
on a night during which he
was throwing everything for
strikes and his offense was
giving him loads of support.
And the final result was a
12-0 Salem win in six
innings.
DeBonis’ young dudes
also went into last week’s
rematch with Salem with
recent lopsided losses to
Portsmouth, Merrimack,
and Windham fresh in mind.
So while a rebound would
have been welcomed by the
Derry bunch, the squad’s
confidence wasn’t at a peak
before the first pitch of that
game.
Salem southpaw standout
Harris didn’t allow the locals
even a single hit in his
complete-game performance.
The hosts put only two runners on base in the game both on errors - in support of
their starting pitcher Brandon
Gerossie, who put forth a
pretty gutsy effort in the lopsided loss.
Salem plated at least one
run in every frame but the
third, tallying three markers
in the first, one in the second, two in the fourth, two
more in the fifth, and four
more in the sixth.
The Derry defense was
shaky at points behind pitcher Gerossie, but the youthful
righty - younger brother of
recently-graduated Pinkerton All-State baseball
player Chris Gerossie - battled his way through every
frame and showed mental
toughness and skills on the
hot and humid evening.
Kenny Twomey was the
first Derry batter to reach
base, getting to first on an
infield error by Salem. But
he didn’t get too far around
the bases.
DeBonis and his boys
tried earnestly to end Salem
hurler Harris’ no-hitter and
very nearly did so in the bottom half of the sixth inning
when Ryan Simard - leading
off that half-inning - laid
down a bunt toward the
third-base side of the
mound. Harris got to it
quickly and had a shot at
getting the speedy Simard
out at first base, but the
baseball zipped between the
runner and the Salem first
baseman and into foul
ground for an obvious error.
Simard sprinted to second base on the errant throw
but never came close to
scoring as Salem took the
game in six innings, thanks
to the 10-run-rule.
Along with his near-hit,
Simard made an impressive
defensive play at his second
base position for the hosts in
the top of the fifth when he
bare-handed a ball hit to the
infield grass to his right and
threw out the opposing runner beautifully.
Salem also flashed the
leather impressively on perhaps Derry’s most solidly hit
ball of the evening in the
bottom of the fifth.
Twomey thumped a hard
shot to the shortstop side of
second base, and the baseball appeared to be labeled
for center field. But the
Salem shortstop made a
smooth play to cut the ball
off and get a throw off to first
base, where his first baseman dug the ball out of the
dirt nicely for what initially
looked like an unlikely out.
The struggling, 3-5
Derry Post 9 contingent then
got back to action two days
later when it hosted the
Raymond Legion crew. And
DeBonis’ bunch took a 7-0
loss on the chin to that opponent, despite putting forth
plenty of its own hard work
in the battle.
Sr. Legion
and away. Cahill and Albertelli both sprinted home
with the tying and winning
runs.
With his team’s tough
loss to Hudson at Alvirne
High School the previous
night fresh in mind, Mullin
was pleased with his squad’s
home victory.
“We had a sour taste in
our mouths after yesterday’s
game, We gave up a five-run
lead in the seventh and
eighth, and it was great to
come out here tonight and
play well and get the win,”
said Mullin.
Victorious Derry finished with eight hits, with
Collins smacking three,
including the game-winner,
and Gerossie knocking two.
Londonderry smacked 11,
with Welch and Tavano each
collecting three, and Brett
Evangelista and Del Signore
each drilling two.
Winning pitcher Spears
tallied four strikeouts and
walked five batters.
The Derry Legion crew
had bagged a 9-4 victory
from the Nashua Legion
contingent at historic Holman Stadium in the Gate
City Tuesday night, July 8,
thanks to some strong individual performances.
Skilled righty pitcher
Gerossie went six innings on
the mound, allowing three
runs (only one earned) and
just two hits while striking
out three would-be hitters.
Reliever Matt Tritto then
came on and handled the
final three frames, nabbing
the save by holding Nashua
to one run on four hits while
whiffing two batters.
Offensively, Derry bashed out 12 hits with standout
lead-off hitter Murphy going
3-for-5 with a double, a run
batted in, and three runs
scored. Gerossie, Cahill, and
Hall each smacked two hits
apiece, and Spears contributed a double and two RBI.
And Mullin's young men
kept the wins coming with a
run-packed, 14-12 edging of
Merrimack on that opponent's home diamond last
Sunday afternoon, July 13.
Derry Junior Legion batter Eli Sorensen takes a mighty off the bottom of the ninth
rip at a pitch from the Salem pitcher during the local by taking a walk, Kyle

Albertelli then reached on

an infield single, and both
runners advanced into scoring position on Austin Hall’s
sacrifice bunt.
Londonderry relief pitcher Alex Forgues - the second Post 27 hurler of the
inning - then got a second
out, but Derry’s Jamie
Collins followed by pounding a line drive to right-center field. Post 27 center
fielder Tavano sprinted toward the ball and laid out for
it, with the baseball smacking into his glove and out

Ex-Astro Athletes Make Big News in Collegiate Sports
CHRIS PANTAZIS
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
Pinkerton Academy has
produced many hundreds of
athletes who have gone on to
do impressive and productive things in collegiate
sports. And that continued to
be true during the spring,
2014 college athletic season.
The Quinnipiac University (Hamden, Conn.) women’s lacrosse team didn’t
have a great 2014 season posting a sub-par 2-13
record and going winless on
its own field - but that didn’t
mean that some of the
team’s players didn’t have
high-quality campaigns and
generate excitement with
their efforts.
Former Pinkerton multisport star Vicki Kuhn was
honored as the Quinnipiac
crew’s Outstanding Defensive Player for 2014 after
being named to the AllMetro Atlantic Athletic Conference First All-Star Team.
Junior midfielder/defender Kuhn was often assigned
to guard the opponent’s best
offensive player, and she finished second on the team in
caused turnovers (18) and
second in ground balls (25).
The former PA lacrosse and
soccer star also contributed a
goal and three assists during
the 2014 campaign.
“We were fortunate to
see Vicki continue to develop as a lacrosse player this
year, while also improving
as a leader on the field,”
coach Danie Caro said. “She
became more vocal for us,
while remaining one of our
hardest workers. The best
part is that she has another
season to continue improving.”
One of Kuhn’s Quinnipiac teammates - Leah
Walter - was a rival during
high school, playing at
Londonderry High. Walter
was named the Connecticut
university’s Most Improved
Player for 2014.
During her sophomore
season on the Quinnipiac
women’s lax squad last
spring, Kuhn was named a
Second Team All-New England Conference defender
and was one of the most reliable players for the Lady
Bobcats. She started every
game and was tremendous
on both sides of the ball.
Offensively, she recorded a
goal in a win over Vermont
and another goal in a win
over Bryant, while dishing
out an assist against Brown.
As a freshman in 2012,
the former Pinkerton stalwart played in all 16 games
and started 11 for the Lady

Bobcats. She scored the first
goal of her collegiate career
in a win over Wagner that
season.
Back in the Granite
State, the Plymouth State
University women’s lac-
rosse team had a superb
2014 season, going 12-5
overall and 4-2 in the Little
East Conference. And former Pinkerton lax and field
hockey standout Maddie
Driscoll played in 10 of the
Have Sports News?
squad’s games, with one
start.
The freshman defender
helped to lead her Lady
Astros’ lax and field hockey
teams to Division I crowns
in her senior year of 201213. In moving on to PSU,
Driscoll began attending the
alma mater of her mom,
Jackie (Steele) Driscoll,
who was a 1991 Plymouth
State grad and a three-sport
standout in field hockey,
swimming, and lacrosse
there. Jackie Driscoll was
inducted into the PSU
Athletics Hall of Fame in
2006.
Former Pinkerton boys’
lacrosse stalwart Nick Herzog has gone on to a fine lax
career at New England
College (Henniker). And his
2014 campaign was strong
for the Pilgrims, who posted
a 14-4 overall record and
went 7-1 in Northeast-10
matches for interim coach
Jedd Brown, who has since
been named the full-fledged
men’s lax coach at NEC.
Junior midfielder Herzog played in all 18 of the
Pilgrims’ contests with one
start, and he finished second

on the strong team in goals
(30) and shots taken (115)
and third in points (40).
The former Astro potted
game-winning goals against
Norwich and Husson during
the season and contributed
to an offense that outscored
its opponents by the massive
margin of 263-151.
During his sophomore
campaign of 2013, the
Pinkerton grad played in 11
games for the Pilgrims and
finished the season with four
goals and four assists. As a
freshman in 2012, Herzog
was in uniform for 10 games
and finished with four goals
and three assists.
Speaking of athletes who
step from high school sports
into college athletics and see
the field quite a bit, Pinkerton graduate Tim Viehoff
was impressive in his pitching role at Southern New
Hampshire University this
past spring.
The imposing freshman
lefty - who stands six-feetfour-inches tall - made a
dozen appearances on the
hill for the 41-14 Penmen,
starting eight games and tallying a 5-3 record with one
save. Viehoff pitched 58 2/3
innings, striking out 82 batters and boasting an exceptional 1.69 earned run average. He was one of several
first-year players to excel for
the SNHU squad.

Runners, Times Strong in Second ‘Run For Freedom’ Races
CHRIS PANTAZIS
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
The members of the
Greater Derry Track Club
(GDTC) who were involved
with the second annual 5K
and 10K Run For Freedom
events in Derry on July 4
wound up with many reasons to be pleased with the
way the day went.
“Weather conditions at
the 7:30 a.m. start were
warm and quite humid, yet
spirits were high among runners and spectators,” said
GDTC spokesperson Bonney Cashin, who ran the 5K
race.
About 170 runners -
many from the local area finished the two races.
A total of 116 runners
finished the 5K race, with
22-year-old Kyle Williams
of Newmarket finishing first
in 17 minutes and 16 seconds, and former Pinkerton
Academy standout athlete
Cayla Pellegrini as the first
woman across the finish line
- an excellent fourth overall
- in 19:53.
The first two Derry finishers of the 5K were Mike
Fraysse (17:36, second
overall) and Pellegrini, and
the first two Londonderry
finishers were recent Londonderry High graduate and
former running star Makayla
D’Urso (21:23, 10th overall)
and Dennis Wieners (26:41,
33rd overall).
The 10K had a strong
Pinkerton flavor, with former PA athletic stalwart
Doug Ainscow winning in
36:26 and Hampstead resident Amy Bernard - a coach
and teacher at the Derry
school who was also a running standout at Pinkerton
during her high school years
– leading the women to the
finish line (40:07) and finishing fifth overall out of a
field of 54 finishers.
One feature of the longer
race was a good-natured
competition between two
armed forces teams - one
from the Army and the other
from the Air Force - with
each team consisting of
three members.
The runners of both
races set out from the starting line onto Bypass 28 in
front of Pinkerton, turned
onto Tsienneto Road (5K) or
English Range Road (10K)
to Route 102, and ran back
to Pinkerton.
The 5K participants
included a group of beginning runners who trained
with members of the GDTC
during the club’s eight-week
“Couch to 5K” program.
Local age group winners
in the 5K event included
Caryn Pepin of Derry in the
women’s 20-29 division
(22:08, 13th overall), Bonney Cashin of Derry in the
women’s 60-69 class (35:19,
85th), and the unstoppable
Sachiko Burkinshaw of
Londonderry in the ladies’
70-99 division (35:35, 88th).
Area age group winners
in the 10K race included 12year-old Michael Delmore
of Londonderry in the 19and-under males’ grouping
(59:47, 36th overall), former
Pinkerton running stalwart
Jon Alizio in the males’ 3039 class (39:26, fourth overall), Maria Checket of Derry
in the ladies’ 40-49 division
(48:57, 14th), Michael Gallagher of Derry in the men’s
50-59 class (51:26, 17th),
and Cindy McNally of
Derry in the women’s 50-59
division (52:03, 18th).
All proceeds from the
races will be donated to
Liberty House in Manchester, a non-profit organization sponsored by the
Manchester Veterans of
Foreign Wars that offers
transitional housing, medical care, and job assistance
to homeless veterans in the
Granite State.
All participants were
asked to donate a non-perishable food item to help
restock local food banks,
and that effort continues to
aid the community.
Derry Competitors Excel in Second GDTC Summer Fun Runs

——◆—–––
A beautiful summer
evening brought out some
116 young runners to the
second evening of 2014
Greater Derry Track Club
(GDTC) Summer Fun Runs
Thursday night, July 10.
And youthful racers hailing
from Derry got themselves
noticed that night at
Pinkerton Academy.
A crew of 10 Derry kids
ran their way to top-three
finishes during that evening
of fun runs, which continued
the 40th season of the popular series put together and
directed by the local track
club for area youngsters
with the help of the Derry
Recreation Department and
sponsors.
The GDTC lost its originally-planned second evening of fun runs to lousy
weather a week before, but
the runs jumped right back
into full stride on July 10.
“This brings the total up
to 373 children enjoying the
Thursday evening races,
where everyone is a winner,”
said GDTC spokesperson
Bonney Cashin.

Handel with Care Veterinary Hospital Marks Quarter Century
PENNY WILLIAMS
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
One of Dr. Eugene Handel’s brochures reads,
“When your best friend
needs the best care, think of
Handel with Care Veterinary
Hospital.” He said his main
priority, after the care of
pets, is respecting the bond
between pets and their owners. He added that he and his
staff provide people’s pets
with “unconditional love.”
Now celebrating a quarter century at his 33 Crystal
Ave. location in Derry,
Handel’s veterinary practice
is a full service, companion
animal hospital and treats all
kinds of pets – dogs, cats,
birds, ferrets, bunnies and
pocket pets – mice, rats, gerbils, guinea pigs - and the
occasional reptile. Preventive care is a big part of what
he provides, he said.
Handel and two parttime veterinarians offer
complete medical, dental
and surgical care, assisted
by a staff of about 15. Early
detection and treatment of
health issues come from
annual check-ups and the
lab tests done as part of
those examinations, which
Handel recommends happen
twice a year.
Handel said he started
his veterinary practice 25
years ago in half of the
lower floor of his current
building and after 12 years,
expanded to the entire lower
floor. After 15 years, he took
over the entire building.
“The reception and waiting area is light, airy and
provides an enjoyable place
for our clients to wait for
their appointments,” he said.
“Veterinary medicine has
changed a lot in the last 25
years, with lots of technical
and medical advances, but
perhaps the most important
change is the growth of the
bond between pet and pet
owner. I see it becoming Dr. Eugene Handel examines a golden retriever, Chudligh,

the family or their best
friend, and that’s a special
relationship. I want to do
everything I can to preserve
that relationship.”
Another change he noted
involves cats. When he started
practicing, cats were primarily outdoor animals, he said,
but today more and more are
indoor pets because of the
concern of their owners.
“The relationship between cats and their owners
has evolved and greater
bonding exists today,” he
said. “More and more often
cats are kept indoors for
safety and companionship.”
Asked if any particular
event stands out in the past
quarter century, he recalled
visiting a client’s home at 10
p.m. to help remove quills
from her dog’s face.
“When I started out, I did
house calls,” he said. “But
things are different now. I
still very much enjoy veterinary medicine because I get
to meet a lot of new people,
a lot of new pets, and have
the opportunity to develop
relationships with ongoing
clients. I also really enjoy
seeing the pets and how they
behave, and how proud they
look when they are healthy.
This business is one in which
I am always learning new
things so it is very stimulating, especially with all the
new advances. Helping people and helping pets is a
wonderful thing to do.”
Handel, who graduated
from the University of
Bologna veterinary school
in Italy, lives in Hampstead
with his wife, Terry, where
they are members of the
Hampstead Garden Club.
Their household includes
three cats and Handel’s
“pride and joy,” a standard
poodle named Louie.
Handel plans an open
house on July 18 from 9
a.m. to 5 p.m., with food,
drinks and lots of good
cheer to celebrate his 25th
anniversary. For more information, call 432-1404.
Derry Bully Prevention Project Receives Grant of $11,600
The Derry Bully Prevention Project has received a
grant from the Alexander
Eastman Foundation.
After then Governor John
Lynch signed into law the
Pupil Safety and Violence
Prevention Law in 2010, the
Derry Cooperative School
District established a program to address bullying
issue within its schools. To
facilitate and enhance the
program, the Alexander
Eastman Foundation recently
awarded the Derry Bully
Prevention Project a grant of
$11,600.
The Bully Prevention
Project was formed a year
ERIK E. PEABODY
ago by Brenda Caldwell, now
its coordinator and director.
Other group members are cocoordinators Sandy Bilodeau
and Janet Morneau, and project contributor Dr. Stephen
Caldwell.
“After a local program
was extensively researched
and developed by the project’s members, the results
were well received by the
Derry Schools,” Brenda
Caldwell said. “The Derry
Bully Prevention Project
will, as in the past, continue
to collaborate with the Derry
Cooperative School District’s Assistant Superintendent, Mary Ann ConCRAIG B. PEABODY
nors-Krikorian, and other
staff members. It will also
partner with both its fiscal
agent, Derry’s Upper Room,
a Family Resource Center,
and with the Community
Alliance for Teen Safety
(CATS). Over the next 12
months, the project will
focus on increasing awareness of bullying behavior and
teaching social skills and
conflict management to the
entire school community. In
addition to teachers and stu-
dents in the elementary and
middle schools, this outreach
includes parents, school bus
drivers, cafeteria workers,
custodians, remaining school
personnel, after-school day
care providers, and Derry’s
youth organizations.”
She said its activities
will include increased classroom presentations by
school psychologists; distribution of anti-bullying information at school and town
functions; a parent presenta-
