Kevin Smith noted the
site required constant
updating and was staffed
by a third party vendor.
“To that end we were
paying a quarterly fee to
the vendor to keep that
site up and running, so
recently (contractor) Stu
Arnett and John Vogl took
on the project of revamping the site, and it’s all
done in-house,” Smith

said. “There’s no fees to
keep it up and running,
and I think it’s a lot more
functional than the site
was, and it also doesn’t
require weekly updating.”
Arnett, of Arnett Development Group, said
the most important thing
for “site planners” is data.
“Our goal with the new
site is to have it be efficient not only now but
also for later,” he said.
“The former style of the
site was past its time and
had things that were
clearly obsolete.”
Arnett said he was
contracted by the town at
$3,500 to redesign the
website, and Vogl noted
the cost of the older site
was tens of thousands of
dollars to develop.
“We’ve done all the
time sensitive things,
which was the responsibility of somebody else,
so this will stay fresh by
itself,” Arnett said.
“For economic development web sites, you are
really trying to do only
one thing very well, and
that is to give people that
are on that site good

projected to end the
year with a “considerable surplus” of over $1
mllion in the general fund.
That was the message
given to the School Board
on Tuesday, April 15, by
Londonderry School District Business Administrator Peter Curro in his
third quarter report.
“State revenues have
all been posted,” he said,
adding that the district is
short $21,000 in adequacy
funding from the state.
But Curro said there
was good news on that
front in that “whatever
number we’re given for
adequacy at tax rate setting time is the number
we’re going to get for the
year, and if there’s a

“Since you tasked me

up the following year.
“It looks like with a
combination of revenues
coming in slightly higher,
the fund balance for the
school district should be
just over $1 million,”
Curro added.
He said the capital
reserve funds the town
holds for the district,
which includes impact
fees of over $100,000, will
be used when setting the
tax rate in FY 15. “We
have that collected,”
Curro said.
Curro said that they
were coming in at
$200,000 more in state
and other revenue sources than what they had
used when setting the
December tax rate.
As for expenditures,
Curro said that barring
any surprises “like a leaky
roof” - alluding to the
recent tear in the North
School roof - they should
come in about $730,000
under budget.
He said the number of
heating days was much
higher this year, but the
district renegotiated its

Transit Service Again Focus of Elder Affairs Meeting
JAY HOBSON
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
ooperative Alliance
for Regional Transportation officials
met once again with the
Town’s Elder Affairs Committee to discuss ways the
alliance, known as CART,
could better serve elders.
CART provides transporation service in Londonderry, Chester, Derry, Hampstead and Salem.
CART Executive Director Annette Stoller and
board member Tim White,
who is principal transportation planner with
the Southern New Hampshire Planning Commission, were at the Tuesday,
April 15 meeting to
C
respond to ongoing complaints that the transportation service has left
riders stranded.
“We have redone the
schedules so you can put
them up in places that are
frequented by people,
and we also have a large
type copy,” Stoller said.
“The times are a little
vague because the people’s requests are vague.”
Committee Chairman
Al Baldasaro suggested the
larger type schedules be
given to Londonderry
Elder Affairs Director
Catherine Blash to be put
up on Senior Center bulletin boards and handed
out to seniors.
“One of the key ques-
tions had been getting
people to hospitals in
Manchester, and we now
have available Elliot Hospital, the new Elliot at
River’s Edge, Elliot Outpatient Services, DartmouthHitchcock in Manchester,
the Veterans Administration Hospital and Catholic
Medical Center,” Stoller
said.
At the previous meeting, Stoller was asked the
number of people were
served by CART.
“We have some ridership statistics here from
2013, which went from
Oct. 1, 2012 to Sept. 30,
2013,” White said. “Total
trips to Londonderry residents during fiscal year

2013 was 2,435. If we took
that number and compared it with the Londonderry contribution to
CART, which for that fiscal year was $26,500,
that’s an average cost of
$10.88 per trip.”
Committee member
Bonnie Ritvo asked if that
figure included seniors
taking CART to the senior
center for lunches.
“That would include
all of the trips by the residents of Londonderry,”
White said.
She asked if a breakdown were possible for
the senior lunches and
the regular users that
don’t include the lunches, and White said he
could do that.
“Our concern is more
with those who need to
go to the doctors more
than for the lunches,”
Ritvo said.
Ritvo said she had
received a call from a
woman who said she had
called CART the required

Stoller had called him
three times since the last
meeting.
“I just want to make
sure that everybody
knows that I’m trying to

committee: they can’t fix

Ritvo said taxi vouchers were available when
rides aren’t possible, but
Stoller said that program
had qualifications such as

expense of the voucher
program, saying it would

to get a ride to and from

“Then they called her
and said, ‘You can’t be

Thursday, they didn’t

day,” Ritvo said.
Ritvo added that a senior had called CART for a
ride to the senior center
for the Bone Builders program and wasn’t able to
get service.

Ayotte, Carson Visit Proposed Pettengill Road Site
JAY HOBSON
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
tate Senator Sharon
Carson, R-Londonderry and U.S. Senator
Kelly Ayotte, R-NH stood at
the curb cut for the proposed but as yet unfunded
reconfiguration of Pettengill Road to discuss the
road’s fiscal importance to
the state, region and the
Town of Londonderry.
The area surrounding
the proposed Pettengill
Road project consists of
900 to 1,000 acres adjacent
to Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, and proponents say it could provide
S
thousands of jobs once it
is developed, thanks to its
proximity to the airport.
“This is going to be one
of the biggest economic
projects in the State of
New Hampshire,” Carson
said at the Wednesday,
April 16 event. “We had a
very fruitful meeting this
afternoon with Londonderry town officials and with
the (Manchester-Boston)
Airport Authority to talk
about the impact this project will have. Quite frankly,
what you see today is a
great collaboration between the state and the

are states that use the
banks successfully for

“When Sharon brought
this to my attention, I
introduced legislation at
the federal level to reinstate what had been the
law before, to allow states
to use 10 percent of their
federal funds to establish
state infrastructure banks,
and Sen. Carson has introduced the same type of bill
at the state level,” Ayotte
said.
Ayotte said that in addition, she was a cosponsor
of a bipartisan bill that
would establish a federal
infrastructure bank that
would use $50 billion that

we’re trying to do at the
state level is to build an
infrastructure bank for the
State of New Hampshire
that can help fund projects
like Pettengill Road across
the state.”
“What we’re really talking about is the importance of the Pettengill
Road project,” Ayotte
added.
Those attending the
earlier meeting were Town
Manager Kevin Smith, and
councilors Tom Dolan,
John Farrell and Tom
Freda.
State and federal infrastructure banks that could
potentially help the Pettengill Road project are the
subjects of legislation by
the two women at the state
and federal levels.
“Sen. Carson brought to
my attention at the federal
level, that when the federal
transportation bill was
passed, MAP-21 (Moving
Ahead for Progress in the
21st century), there was an
inadvertant mistake made
in it. Many states had used
a portion of their transportation funds, up to 10
percent, to establish what
are called state infrastructure banks.”
Ayotte said that when
MAP-21 was reauthorized,
however, the provision
that gave states the
authority to use 10 percent
of federal transportation
dollars to establish the
state infrastructure banks

overseas” because of the
structure of the U.S. tax
code, and allow them to
purchase bonds for the
federal infrastructure bank
that would allow them to
bring that money back to
be used for infrastructure
in the United States.
“Right now we are getting no benefit from the
money that is sitting overseas,” she said. “This would
not involve federal dollars,
it would only be allowing
the private companies to
bring the money back, provided that they actually
buy bonds for the federal
infrastructure bank.”
Ayotte said the $50 billion would leverage $750
billion in federal loan guar-
antees.
“So I have two pieces of
legislation, one to address
the state infrastructure
bank, which is really an
oversight in MAP-21, and
the bill I cosponsored to
establish a federal infrastructure bank,” she said.
“What infrastructure banks
allow is the leveraging of
federal dollars, local dollars and private investment to build infrastructure projects. The Pettengill Road project has
such an opportunity for
economic development for
not only Londonderry, but
for the surrounding communities, the state and for
the airport as well.”

Letters
Editorial
Enough To Go Around?
When there’s an overriding need
– skyrocketing use of heroin and
resulting crimes, expansion of the
interstate to handle gridlock, failing
bridges, funding to boost economic
development (think Pettengill Road),
the place we all turn to is the federal
government, followed quickly by
state government.
Then we complain about taxes.
When disaster strikes in the form
of a hurricane or a flood, a fire or a
mudslide, we look to those same two
sources for help. Funding and a
quick response are what we take for
granted.
Then we wax eloquent about fiscal responsibility, too much government interference in our lives, and,
once again, taxes.
When politicians are running for
reelection, they are quick to point
out all the legislation they’ve sponsored and supported that benefits
local areas. We don’t usually hear
what the tax impact is of those bills.
Both of our U.S. Senators were in
town last week, and both promised
to work for specific New Hampshire
needs – in Ayotte’s case, a fix to federal transportation funding to allow
the establishment of state infrastructure banks that could help fund
development of Pettengill Road in
Londonderry and the establishment
as well of a federal infrastructure
bank, and in Shaheen’s case, money
to aid in the battle of increasing
heroin use, and more funding for
services to treat addicts. Both Senators are focusing on legitimate concerns that aren’t limited to their
state lines.
But these are also two of a virtually infinite number of requests for
funding that legislators face every
day. Couple that with the raucous
cries for reduced government – its
presence as well as what it pays for –
and it’s easy to see why the federal
government functions – or doesn’t
function – at a stalemate.
How to prioritize? Everyone has
their own special interest for federal
and state funding, along with an
equal reluctance to raise taxes. In
New Hampshire, for example, we
won’t consider a sales tax or gambling, even though it would bring in
money from visitors as well as residents, and we won’t allow a state
income tax. Then we complain about
outrageous property tax rates.
Short of printing lots of new
money, our options are limited. What
would we like to do without? Cutting
beds for the mentally ill, as the federal government did in the ‘70s, led to
a rise in the homeless population
and in crime. We are reaping the
results to this day. Failing to repair
aging infrastructure in our cities and
highways gives us today’s astronomical costs.
We need money to address our
problems. We also need a real dialogue on priorities, and what all of us
are willing to pay.

Praise for Smith
To the editor:
A recent article noted
Town Manager Kevin
Smith’s freeze on town
spending had virtually
brought the town’s budget back in line. I’d like to
thank Mr. Smith for being
proactive in taking swift
action before spending
became out of hand.
In another action involving the town healthcare provider, he brought
competition into the mix
and brought the health
provider’s quote from a
9.9 percent increase down
to 3.2 percent. Under his
guidance, the town’s
HealthTrust provided a
refund in which part of it
will be returned to the
town’s employees and
retirees.
Mr. Smith did what any
responsible manager should
do - looking out for the
interests of the entity and
people to whom he has
been
entrusted.
He
should be congratulated
for being vigilant and
decisive in doing the fiscally responsible right
thing to stay with his
budget. You might say
he was just doing his job,
but in today’s world of
irresponsible spending, I
applaud his common
sense in looking out for
the best interests of Londonderry.

Surplus
Continued from page 1
due to (Facilities Director)
Chuck (Zappala’s) renegotiation of our natural gas
pricing. Even though the
volume will be higher, the
lower price will make up
the difference.”
Curro said it probably
would produce a $50,000
or $60,000 savings.
“We will receive a significant amount of added
surplus from the health
insurance provider, and
what we did with the
extra money was to apply
it to accelerate the math
program we purchased,”
Curro said.
He also noted that
thanks to voter approval,
$100,000 will go into the
Trust Fund.
Board Chairman Leitha
Reilly asked if it was fair to
say the district was in
◆
good shape financially, and
Curro said that a million
dollar return was “a little
more than good shape.
“I am extremely confident that we will be able
to come in with an even
or better tax rate than
what we told them back in
March,” Curro said.
As for Food Service,
Curro said they are showing a $25,000 to $30,000
deficit. The Food Service
program will cover everything but the recent double oven purchase.
He noted that several
school districts, including
Timberlane, had raised
lunch prices and Salem
has a significant food
service deficit.
Curro also gave the
board an update on the
the district’s two bonds,
the $5.5 million North
School refunding bond
and the new $4 million
district-wide maintenance
bond approved by voters
in March.
The sale of the North
School refunding was
expected to take place
April 21 or 22, and Curro
said the rates are dropping slightly, which benefits the district. Curro
said that he has until the
following Monday or
Tuesday to get back to
the bond counsel with the
board’s signatures.
As for the new $4 million bond, bond counsel
has to verify its legality.
“We’ve had lengthy conversations with bond counsel on the new bond
because they have to verify
that projects are appropriate, postings were
correct, and from there it
goes to the financial investment houses to put a
30-day prospectus together
and the sale,” Curro said.

he Town Council interviewed three more
candidates Monday
night for the single open
position on the Manchester
Airport Authority.
At the previous Town
Council meeting, Elizabeth
LaRocca was interviewed,
at which time Councilor
Tom Freda asked if there
were any more candidates.
Executive Assistant Kirby

Freda suggested that all be
interviewed.
The majority of members of the airport authority are from Manchester.
Most of the airport is in

This week, Raymond
Brown of Hazelnut Lane
said he was interested in
the position in order to
contribute to the community. He said that he had
worked with the recreation
department with recreational soccer and had
served on several ad hoc
committees over the years.
While he was not an aviator, he said he had served
in the military as a flight
deck officer and signal officer in the U.S. Coast Guard,
from which he is retired as
a captain.
Since his Coast Guard
retirement, he has worked
as a security consultant.
“Right after 9-11, I was part
of a team that trained every
employee at Logan Airport
in security,” Brown said.
Councilor Tom Freda
asked Brown if he had
experience on the business
side of airports.
Brown said he had
worked directly with Directors of Operations of several airports and he was concerned with safe and timely
arrivals in his capacity as
security consultant. He has
also worked with airport
vendors.

Manchester until 2004, and
retired in 2007. Currently
he works at Life Visions in
Salem.
“I’ve been around quite
a while,” Patten said.
Councilor Joe Green
asked Patten if he had any
ideas to bring more flights
to Manchester.
“Our constraint is that
they can’t expand any
more,” he said. “I don’t
think it can get any bigger.
They are getting away from
jumbo jets and the way to
grow the airport is to make
sure the community uses
the airport, so we need to
make sure we have timely
arrivals and departures.”
Freda asked if the current design of the airport
hinders the type of planes or
distances planes can go.
Patten said the longest
runway at 10,000 feet is just
a little shorter than Boston’s longest runway and
there can be flights to Canada and further places.
To Dolan’s question of
conflict of interest, Patten
said there were no issues.
The final interview was
with Matthew Caron of
Pillsbury Road.
Caron said he has a
Master’s degree in community economic development and a Bachelor’s
degree in Science, Geography and Regional Planning.
He works at Gale Associates as an airport planner
and worked with the Southern New Hampshire Planning Commission as a
transportation planner for
five and a half years.
Green asked Caron how
he would “push the authority forward” on increasing
passenger use.
Caron said he didn’t
know what has been done
so far but noted that southern New Hampshire faces a
problem with getting peo-
• Paving
• Gravel
ple around.
“Folks fly in to Manchester and it’s very difficult to
navigate and get around,” he
said. “How do you get to
your hotel and a place where
you’re trying to do business?
Looking at stronger transportation and intermodal
facilities might be a way to
get around that.”
Farrell said that last
week he had a flight at 5:20
a.m. and left the house at
4:30 a.m. and was on the
plane at 5:05 a.m.
“I was just wondering
how much better the transportation can get around
the airport,” he said. “If I
had a 9 o’clock flight in
Boston, I’d have to leave at
5:30 a.m. If the flight was at
Manchester, I’m leaving my
house at 8.”
Farrell said the real
question is “how to get
someone to understand
what I’ve just told you that’s a good thing.”
Caron said that it has a
lot to do with promoting
the region.
Dolan asked about conflict of interest and Caron
said that if there were any,
he would recuse himself.
Additional candidates
remain to be interviewed at
a future Council meeting.

New Town Council Liaison Position Created for Development
JAY HOBSON
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
own Council Chairman Tom Dolan told
his fellow Councilors that he was creating a new liaison position,
the liaison to strategic
development.
Councilors serve as
Council liaison to various
town boards - for example, Councilor Jim Butler
is liaison to the Planning
T
Board, while Tom Freda is
liaison to the Zoning
Board of Adjustment.
But at the April 7 meeting, Dolan announced the
new strategic development position.
He said he asked John
Farrell to take on that
post, and Farrell agreed to
do so.
“That’s a new liaison
assignment and we’ll get
regular updates from
Family Gets Good News
John Farrell during this
portion of our meetings,”
Dolan said.
Councilor Joe Green
asked if a vote were needed to create the new position and Dolan said he
didn’t think so.
“I’ve been involved in
economic development
probably for the last 10
years, and Tom just wants
me to be the liaison for
the Council on it, just to
continue what I was
doing,” Farrell said of the
appointment. “I’m not
aware of there being a
committee. In order establish an economic development committee or
task force, there would
have to be a resolution to
do that. I think all Tom
was saying is, ‘Hey John,
you’ve been leading the
economic development
charge for 10 years, can
you keep on doing that on
behalf of the Council.”
Farrell said the town
had an economic development task force about
four years ago but it has
disbanded.
“Whenever there’s been
a lead on economic development, I’ve always been
the lead on it, and I’ll just
continue doing that,” Farrell explained. “I think he
was just asking, ‘Are you
OK with continuing to do
the economic development stuff,’ and I’m OK.”
Farrell said there is no
board or committee meeting he will regularly attend, as is done with
other liaison assignments.
Rather, he will attend
meetings that occasionally come up with businesses that wish to come to
Londonderry.

helicopter to a Boston
hospital for treatment of
injuries, following a motor
vehicle accident on Interstate 93.
According to Lt. Don
Waldron, community relations spokesperson for

“Crews arrived on
scene at 10:19 a.m. and

Musquash Trails Inspected for Alleged Sabotage

recent account on a

Mike Considine, who is a
member of the Londonderry Conservation Commission and the Trailways

indistinct with the exact
location, and we haven’t
gotten an exact location

said. “They haven’t been

“Mike actually rode all the
trails during the past few
days.”
Saur said that the
report is troubling.
“We’d like to get the
information or if anyone
has seen anything, they
should report it,” he said.
“I think it’s a crime and
they should report it to
the police or at least to
Town Hall so we can go
look at where it was and
try to understand what
might be going on there.
We haven’t been able to
find anything at all.”
Saur said it had been
quiet out on the trails for
the past several weeks
because it had been
muddy. Lately, the use of
the area has picked up
quite a bit but they
haven’t heard anything.
Saur said they are taking the allegation seriously and are monitoring the
Musquash.
The Londonderry Times
was notified of the report
on Aug. 15. The email stated: “Some jerk is stretching fishing line across the
trails in the Musquash
conservation area. Someone thought it was hunters looking for deer….
The line is just about neck
height…The person said
the line was stretched

Joseph Maynard of
Benchmark Engineering,
speaking on behalf of
Poitras at the Wednesday,
April 16 meeting, said that
the sales of firearms
would be conducted over
the internet, and occassionally by appointment
at the residence.
“There is an existing
office space on the first
room off the porch as you
enter on the street side of
the home, with dimensions of 13 feet by 10
deep,” Maynard said.
“Any firearms stored on
site will be in accordance
with Alcohol, Tobacco
and Firearms (ATF) regulations. We are here
tonight to request a special exception to allow
this to happen on the
property.”
Maynard said Poitras
would from time to time
be shipping firearms from
the property.
Board chairman Jim
Smith asked how often
someone would be coming to the site and Poitras
said about one or two
times per week.
Board member Jackie
Benard asked if there
would be any manufacturing of firearms or reworking of them at the site.
Poitras said there are
two ways the firearms
would be sold: obtaining
the firearms from a wholesaler and then sold and
shipped over the internet,
and via a web site “populated with quite a bit of
inventory that you don’t
even own.
“We would receive an
order and contact a distributor and the distributor would ship it to a dealer and the customer picks
it up from the dealer. We
don’t even see the product,” Poitras said.
Benard asked if there
would be inventory stored in the office. Maynard
said there would be very
little stored in a locked

safe.
Board member Neil
Dunn asked for particulars of how the firearms
would be stored per ATF
requirements.
“The ATF requires that
you keep everything under lock and key, they
don’t specifically require
a fire proof safe, and it has
to have an alarm system
that automates to the
police department,” Poitras
said.
Dunn asked if such an
alarm would be for that
room or the whole house,
and Poitras said it would
be for the whole house.
Board member Jim Tirbassi asked about ammunition storage and Poitras
said very little ammunition would be stored at
the office.
“And in about eight
months it would be nonexistant,” Poitras said. He
explained that he would
be liquidating the ammunition that he already had
from his store.
“There is no testing,
there is no gunsmithing,
there is no enhancing,
there is none of that work
going to be done,” Poitras
said.
He said the only work
to a gun would be the
addition of a scope to a
rifle, which involves a
couple of screws. He said
any gunsmithing work
would be sent to a gunsmith in Salem.
No one in the audience
either supported or opposed the request.
Smith asked if the
firearm would be delivered to Poitras or the customer and Poitras said
that most times it would
be shipped to a dealer
from the source, and the
customer would get it
there. He noted that on
some occasions, however,
the customer would pick
up the weapon at the residence, but noted these
would be current customers whom he knows
from his store in Windham.
Board member David
Paquette made a motion
to grant the request,
which failed for lack of a
second. Benard then made
a motion to grant the
request with restrictions
that there be no maintenance or repair of firearms and no foot traffic or
firearms at the residence.
The board voted 4-1 to
grant the request, with
Dunn in opposition.

Longua Acquitted Of All Sexual Assault Charges
JAY HOBSON
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
ormer third and
fourth grade Wildcats coach Timothy
Longua, 42, 7 Lane Way
has been found not guilty
by a jury on the last two
out of an original seven
counts of sexual assault
charges he faced involv-
F
ing a 12-year-old girl,
according to his lawyer,
Nashua attorney Charles
Keefe.
In March of 2013,
Longua was accused of
touching two girls under
the age of 13 at the time in
a sexual manner, one
between Aug. 1 and Aug.
31, 2012 and the other
between Dec. 1 and Dec.
31, 2012, with the intent of
sexual gratification, for
Aggravated Felonious
Sexual Assault charges.
Four Felonious Sexual
Assault indictments accused Longua of touching
the same two girls in a
sexual manner between
May and December 2012.
An Attempted Felonious Sexual Assault
stemmed from an allegation that Longua attempted to touch one of the
girls and was told to stop
by the girl.
Longua went to trial in
March 2014 and was exonerated by a jury on five of
the charges. He was exon-
erated on the final two
charges last week.
“Tim and his family are
relieved that this matter
is behind them at this
point,” Keefe said. “He
takes comfort that two
juries recognized what he
has been saying all along,
that is that he is innocent.
He looks forward to mov-
ing on with his life and
putting this chapter behind him.”
According to the police at the time of Longua’s arrest, the alleged
assaults took place at
Longua’s home when his
daughter was hosting
sleepovers.

Fence Height Variance Granted by Zoning Board
JAY HOBSON
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
tephen Parsons of 2
Buckingham Drive
was granted a variance for a taller fence in
his front yard for increased privacy.
He told the Zoning
Board of Adjustment (ZBA)
last week that he has a 6foot stockade fence that
he wants to replace with
an 8-foot stockade fence.
“My backyard sits two
or three feet lower than
Mammoth Road,” he explained. “When standing
on my deck, even passenger cars can see right into
my back yard. We have
young children and in the
summertime they’re out in
S
the back yard, and we’d
like to make it more private. The 6-foot fence
essentially is the equivalent of a 3- or 4-foot fence
so I’d like to bring that up
a couple of feet.”
He said tractor trailer
trucks would still be higher but the passenger cars
would be shielded from
looking in his backyard.
He added that the new
fence would be more aesthetically pleasing than
the current fence.
“The beginning of the
fence is 40 feet back from
the property line so it
meets the requirement of
being 40 feet away from
the intersection (of Mammoth and Buckingham),”
Parsons said.
He said the fence
would have no adverse
effects on the appearance
of the area, no abutters
would be affected as it
would be along Mammoth
Road, and it would provide safety and security
because drivers would
not be able to see into his
yard and therefore would
be more focused on their
driving. He said there
would be no injustice
done as there is already a
fence, and justice is
served in that his family
would be afforded increased security.

affected.
“The intent of the ordinance to limit the height
of the fence in front is to
be able to maintain safe
sight distance. So in an
instance like this, the
applicant has provided a
photo and there is a clear
sight distance,” Canuel
said.
The board voted unan-
imously to grant the variance, with a restriction
that the 8-foot section of
fence be along Mammoth
Road only.
In other business, real
estate attorney Patricia

Bos of Calamar Construction began their presentation about an elderly

six variance requests but
continued the public
hearing on the requests
themselves until the next
board meeting May 21.

Home Daycare Approved for Sherwood Road Residence
JAY HOBSON
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
rian and Rebecca
Lehman received a
variance from the
Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA) for a family
group daycare at their 44
Sherwood Road residence.
ZBA member Neil Dunn
recused himself from the
proceedings because he
lives on Sherwood Road.
Rebecca Lehman told
the ZBA at its Wednesday,
April 16 meeting that she
sought the special excep-
B
tion to open a daycare at
her home. “It’s going to be
small to start, probably
between five to seven
kids to begin with, and we
are pursuing licensure
with the state,” she said,
noting the maximum she
could have would be 11
children, although she did
not want that many.
“I don’t see it really
impacting our neighbors,
it’s just a handful of kids
in addition to my own
that I’ll be caring for,” she
said. “We’ll be having a
fence installed, which will
be 4 feet tall and will keep
the kids within a specific
area in the yard.”
She said the only
added traffic would be
parents dropping off their
children in the morning
and retrieving them in the
evening.
“We are also requesting to be able to add an
employee,” she said, noting her mother plans to
help in the business.
Board member Jackie
Benard asked if the chil-
dren would be in the great
room on the first floor as
indicated on a drawing,
and Lehman said they
would be. She noted that
room has a door that
leads out to a play area
where the fence would be
installed.
Brian Lehman said the
room will have its own
second exit as well.
He said the fire department has already done an
inspection.
Board Chairman Jim
Smith asked about the
hours of operation, and
Lehman said the earliest
drop-off would be 6:30
a.m. and the latest pickup would be 6 p.m. Her
two children will be at the
daycare as well.
Board member Jim
Tirabassi said he was
looking at an overhead
view of the property and
asked about the pool on
the parcel. Rebecca Lehman said the pool was
enclosed and had a lock
and key.
“Children will not be
going anywhere near the
pool area. The play area is
on the other side of the
great room, nowhere near
the pool,” she said.
Lehman added that the
play area is set far back
from the road and two
adults will always be present.
She said she had plans
for a 3-square-foot sign to
be placed at the mailbox.
The board, with no
deliberation, voted 4-0 to
grant the exception.

with $25,000 at the last
meeting, I took that stewardship seriously,” DeFrancesco said. The money
is for initial costs, with an
additional $5,000 available should it be needed.
“We didn’t want to pay
an architect for questions
that we could get

Chuck and I met with

chief, fire chief, building
inspectors, fire inspectors to get as much information as we could on the
town side, and they were

early stage,” DeFrancesco

said.
With those answers,
DeFrancesco said he was
confident to have the
architect move forward.
“We also did a site visit
to Bedford High School,”
he said, noting that
school’s auditorium is
part of the school building itself. “That would be
cumbersome for us. For
all intents and purposes,
ours will be more of a
municipal building because it’s going to be used
by all parts of the town.
Not being connected to a
school, it makes it much
easier to do that.”
DeFrancesco said he
would be visiting a 1,000seat school auditorium in
Keene as well.
He said he hopes to
have a final report to the
board Aug. 26. “At that
point I’ll have quite a few
members of the committee with me, so you can
grill us all,” DeFrancesco
said.
He noted the committee had retained architect

“We go from meeting to

He added that an advisory committee was
being formed and he had
the names of several
potential members. “One
is a commercial painter,
one is a representative of
the service clubs in town,
and folks like that,”
DeFrancesco said.
DeFrancesco said he
had been in contact with
Stantec, the company that
had worked with the last
auditorium committee a
few years ago, and it was
forthcoming with information.
Board member Steve
Young asked if the committee was charged by
Stantec, and DeFrancesco
said it was not.

“After looking at the
breakdown of costs and
doing quite a bit of
research on my own, I
realized that Marinace is
going to do a lot of work
for us for free - for example, in this breakdown of
$25,000, he has a scale
model of what would be a
proposed auditorium. The
cost of that is $2,000, but
after doing some research, the lowest number I could find for a scale
model was $6,000, with
the highest $11,000.”
Board member Dan
Lekas asked if the meetings of the committee
were open and public and
DeFrancesco said they
were, although they do
not have a set schedule.

School Board Accepts New Middle School Math Textbooks
JAY HOBSON
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
ssistant Superintendent of Schools
Andy Corey and Londonderry Middle School
Curriculum Coordinator
Ann Collacchi recommended to the school
board a middle school
A
math textbook, “Math in
Focus,” to be used starting in the 2014/15 school
year. The board unanimously accepted the recommendation at its Tuesday, April 15 meeting and
adopted the new textbooks.
Corey said the text-
book selection committee
looked at 10 textbooks
and narrowed their search
to six companies.
He said the recommendation is the culmination
of 18 months of committee work. “The committee

Residents Warned Of Phone Scam
Involving Fire Fund Raising
JAY HOBSON
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
ccording to Londonderry Fire Department Local 3160
President James “Bo” Butler, the Londonderry Fire
Department and town hall
are aware of a company
or individual soliciting
funds and donations and
implying that they are a
representative of the Londonderry Fire Department.
“It got brought to my
attention by a Manchester Fire captain who lives
in the Town of Londonderry, who called me and
A
said that he thought I
should know that a guy
called him from the Firefighter Charitable Fund
and was claiming that
they raise money and that
they were looking for a
donation,” Butler said.
“He said it sounded fishy.”
Butler said that he was
glad to receive the call
because neither the fire
department nor the local
union are conducting any
fundraisers right now.
“When I heard that, I
let the chief (Fire Chief
Darren O’Brien) know and
told him about the call
and said that if he could
take steps on his end to
put it on the fire department’s Twitter account
and let town hall know, I’ll
take steps on the union
end and let the members
know,” Butler said, noting
the warning is now on the
Town’s website.
Butler said if people
receive a phone call asking for money, they
should report it to the
Londonderry Fire Department immediately, along
with any information they
may have received, at
432-1124, the non-emergency dispatch telephone
number.
cators, middle school
mathematics representatives, high school mathematics teachers, special
educators and parents,”
Corey said. “They began
this process by determining what essential elements our textbooks must
include, based on the Londonderry curriculum.”
Corey said selection
criteria focused on text,
supplemental materials,
interventions and enrichment activities, and the
program’s online capabilities.
Middle school math
teachers went on site visits to school districts in
Massachusetts and New
Hampshire that were
using “Big Ideas” and
“Math In Focus,” the two
finalists. The group met
with teachers and observed lessons and discussed technical support
for both programs. The
selection committee unanimously selected “Math
In Focus” and forwarded
that recommendation to
the Curriculum Coordination Council (C3 Committee), Corey said.
The C3 Committee supported bringing the recommendation to the school
board for adoption.
Corey said the examples in the textbook are
self-explanatory.
The original cost was
$144,014.47, “which we
knew we didn’t have,”
Corey said. “We had
approved $40,000 during
the budget season. I went
back to the vendor and
said this is the maximum
dollar amount, after talking with School Business
Administrator Peter Curro,
that we could allocate
toward resources for a
textbook, and they came
back and cut their cost by
$66,051, reducing the cost
to the district to $77,963.47.”
Corey asked the board
for $37,000, and noted
that Curro explained the
money would come from
money returned by health
insurance providers.
Collacchi said a training session is scheduled
for the textbooks for this
month, followed by another on June 26, and a
third with a coach from
the textbook company in
October or November.
Board member John
Laferriere asked why the
district was changing
textbooks.
Corey said textbooks
have a 10-year cycle and
the current books have
been in use for 13 years.
He said the new series will
build on the previous text.
Laferriere asked about
the presence of a Common Core sticker on the
books. Corey said he didn’t think any material
could be purchased that
doesn’t have the Common
Core sticker, but the book
was chosen because of
Londonderry curriculum
standards.

One of the best strategies to combat excess
weight in your child is to improve the diet and
exercise levels of your entire family. This helps
protect the health of your child now and in the
future. Although there are some genetic and hormonal causes of childhood obesity, most excess
weight is caused by kids eating too much and
exercising too little. Children, unlike adults, need
extra nutrients and calories to fuel their growth
and development. So if they consume the calories
needed for daily activities, growth and metabolism, they add pounds in proportion to their
growth. But children who eat more calories than
needed gain weight beyond what's required to
support their growing bodies.
Many factors, usually working in combination,
increase your child's risk of becoming overweight:
Diet - Regular consumption of high-calorie foods,
such as fast foods, baked goods and vending
machine snacks, contribute to weight gain. Highfat foods are dense in calories; Inactivity - Sedentary kids are more likely to gain weight because
they don't burn calories through physical activity;
Genetics - If your child comes from a family of
overweight people, he or she may be genetically
predisposed to put on excess weight, especially in
an environment where high-calorie food is always
available and physical activity isn't encouraged;
Psychological factors - Some children overeat to
cope with problems or to deal with emotions,
such as stress or boredom; Family factors - Parents are responsible for putting healthy foods in

Holocaust Survivor Urges Students to Remain Vigilant
PENNY WILLIAMS
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
athy Preston, 75,
born in Nagyvarad,
now known as Oradea, Hungary, told Kelly
Giguere’s Londonderry
High School Adult Education Holocaust Literature
K
class and guests that she
is a Holocaust survivor,
not a victim.
Speaking on Wednesday, April 16, at the LHS
program, she told the students she tells her story
at schools mainly because fewer and fewer

ensure the world never forgets those lost during the
Holocaust. She addressed a Londonderry Adult
Education Holocaust Literature Class last week.

survivors remain alive to
recount what happened,
and she strives to make a
difference by telling her
story.
“It is important for
people to hear about what
really happened to people,” she said. “So many
people killed, one by one,
and people are affected by
what happened. You tend
to want to make your life
count, and what matters
most to me is educating
people so it doesn’t happen again.
“It can happen anywhere, anytime,” she continued. “It is going on right
now in Syria and in the
Ukraine. We must be vigilant because we are seeing some of the same
things going on today.”
Preston referenced the
persecution of Gypsies in
Hungary and the call for
Jews to register in one
town in the Ukraine. She
told the class that bullying
is the way it starts, and

urged everyone to do
whatever they can to stop
bullying.
“If I can make even a
small difference, it is
worth it,” she said. “I want
to slow the process of persecution. We must stop it
in its tracks. It took me 50
years to stop hating, and I
am yet to find a reason
why this happened.”
She told how when she
was 5 years old, she was
hidden to escape being
sent off to a concentration
camp. She related what
her mother, a non-Jew,
had to do to survive, and
how the loss of the rest of
her 28-member family, and
particularly the death of
her adored father, shaped
her life and continues to
motivate her to this day to
try to make people understand that such things
must never be allowed to
happen again.
She said America is a
positive place and in this
country she believes it is
possible for different people to live together. She
told the students that if
each of them could do one
good thing a day, it would
make a good world. She
noted that 10 percent of
the people are good and
10 percent are bad, and 80
percent are sheep, just followers.
“It is easier to be bad
because all you have to do
is just look away, but to be
good is hard,” she said.
“With most being followers, you need to be careful
who the shepherd is. Bullying is how it starts, with
others following blindly,
and that is what we need
to overcome.”
Preston said she speaks
for all those who lost their
lives in Auschwitz and the
other concentration camp
gas chambers. As a survivor she believes that by
telling her story, she can
make a difference and can
help make sure the world
will carry the memory of
those lost souls and thereby give meaning to their
lives, while preventing
such horror from ever
happening again.

on that opponent’s home
diamond.
The Lancer bunch was
champing at the proverbial bit when its seasonopener rolled around last
week. The game had originally been slated for April
14, but Gill Stadium wasn’t available that day. So
when the first official
pitch of the Lancers’ season was thrown, the anxious local team had gone
nearly a week since its
final pre-season game.
Righty pitcher Mike
Ryan - who missed the
whole 2013 football season with a knee injury collected the win for the
Lancers in a back-andforth battle with the host
Memorial side.
The next day in Rochester, the Lancers got
both strong offense and
defense in besting their
highly-touted hosts.
Lancer pitcher Nick
Musto won his first varsity start by going five
innings of four-run ball.
“He kept the Raiders
off balance just enough to
keep us on top,” said
Demas.
Defensively it wasn’t a
perfect day for the visitors, but the LHS guys got
out of numerous jams with
runners in scoring position. Nick Salcito drew
praise from his coach for
making a few great plays
at shortstop and the
Lancer outfield - led by
veteran Zach Tavano - had
a strong game.
At the plate, five Lancers knocked two hits apiece. Geoff Kayo (2-for-5,
2 rbi), Rob Del Signore (23, 2 rbi), Mike Ryan (2-5, 2
rbi), Tom Corey (2-4, 2
runs scored), and Ben
Byerly (2-2, 2 runs)
helped to make the Londonderry offense go on
this productive day.
The Lancers’ 4-2 edging of the arch-rivals from
Pinkerton last Saturday,
April 19, provided the
sizeable crowd with plenty of entertainment, but
the folks in Londonderry
uniforms and those cheering for them did some
nail-nibbling in the top
half of the seventh inning
as Demas’ group worked
to put the win away.
The visiting Astros who are coached by LHS
grad and former baseball
player Steve Campo - got
the bases loaded with
nobody out and scored a

Lady Lancer Racketeers Suffer First Loss After Big Wins
CHRIS PANTAZIS
LONDONDERRY TIMES

hile it’s true that
the time-tested
and intense rivalry between the athletic
teams from Londonderry
High School and Pinkerton Academy quite often
makes for great head-tohead meetings, there are
times when there’s an
unmistakable letdown.
One such example
arose last Friday afternoon at Londonderry’s

Cassie Burbine and the LHS Lady Lancers’ tennis
team had no trouble plowing past the rival Pinkerton Lady Astros in Londonderry late last week.
courts where the undefeated girls’ tennis squads
from LHS and Pinkerton
met up. And it didn’t wind
up being much of a match
at all.
Coach Tom Meighan’s
hosting Lady Lancers
ended up having an easy
time of it with the visiting
Pinkerton Lady Astros,
defeating the rival by an
overwhelming 8-1 score.
That outcome pushed
the Londonderry crew’s
season record up to 3-0,
while Pinkerton moved to
4-1 with its first defeat.
All of the LHS squad’s
wins were lopsided, with
singles victories being
bagged by Cassie Burbine
(8-0), Ana Milosavljevic
(8-0), Marissa Beaton (83), Anna Shveshkeyev (82), and Sarah DePasquale
(8-3).
Londonderry’s doubles sweep was accomplished by the duos of
Burbine and Milosavljevic
(8-2), Beaton and DePasquale (8-1), and Shveshkeyev and Katherine
Dwyer (8-5).
But the Londonderry
contingent suffered its
first loss of the campaign
somewhat disappointingly on its own home courts
this past Monday in a 5-4
decision to the tough and
determined, visiting Manchester Central Little
Green contingent.
The Queen City crew
moved to 4-2 by claiming
the win, and Meighan's
mob moved to 3-1 as the
Lady Lancers saw how
tough D-I can be.

LHS Boys’ Tennis Outlasts Rival Pinkerton in a 5-4 Match
CHRIS PANTAZIS
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
espite the fact that
it snagged shutouts
in the first three
singles matches, defeating its rival from Pinkerton Academy in Derry last
Friday afternoon proved
to be anything but easy
for the Londonderry High
boys’ tennis team.
First-year coach Janice
Tracey’s Lancers did up
their season record to 3-1
by handing the 1-3 Astros
a 5-4 defeat in the match.
But the visitors had to
work hard to get the job
D
done.
Londonderry’s
top
three singles players Ryan Broderick, Tim
Court, and Matt McKinney - all thumped their
way to 8-0 victories to
place the Lancers in a
great spot.
But Pinkerton showed
heart, character, and talent by claiming wins in
the fourth through sixth
singles matches. Astro
Josh Moser won 8-1 at
four singles, his teammate
Tyler Busby bagged an 8-3
victory at fifth singles,
and Will McCarty fol-
lowed up for PA by knotting the match score by
winning 8-2 at number six.
However, the Lancers
snared wins in the first
two doubles match-ups,
thanks to the work of the
tandems of Court and
McKinney (8-0 shutout)
and Broderick and Cam
Letalien (8-5). The third
doubles team of Dan
Pleva and Vinnie Annu fell
just short of a win (8-5),
but it didn’t matter in the
overall scheme of things
on this afternoon.
“It was another nailbiter, but we prevailed
today,” said Tracey. “My
captains handled their
opponents by 8-0 scores,
and Tim’s match barely
lasted 20 minutes. But it
came down to my doubles
two team of Ryan and
Cam, and they started
with a commanding lead
of 3-0. With some fast
feet from Pinkerton, they
came back to 5-5. But we
weathered the attack to
take the last three games
and close it out, 8-5.”
After enjoying the
weekend, the Lancers
then returned to action
this past Monday by taking on the Manchester
Central racketeers in the
Queen City.
The Lancers moved
their season record to a
glittering 4-1 with an 8-1
trouncing of the hosts.
Singles wins were
bagged by Ryan Broderick (8-0), Tim Court (8-1),
Matt McKinney (8-1), Dan
Pleva (8-1), and Vinnie
Annu (8-4) before the
locals made a clean
sweep of doubles as well.
“It’s so nice to see
these boys come around
and play some really good
tennis.
“These boys from Central were good, and it wasn’t a match of who was
worse but a match of
who played better,” said
Tracey.

Londonderry High Laxmen Start Season 2 Wins 1 Loss
CHRIS PANTAZIS
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
he 2014 season didn’t start well for the
Londonderry High
boys’ lacrosse team. But
things improved for the
Lancers in their second
match of the campaign.
The Lancers received
a 17-6 drubbing from the
rival Pinkerton Academy
Astros in their 2014 season-opener in Derry on
Thursday, April 17, and
coach Joe McCune and
his assistant, Rusty Brand,
were left wondering how
their team would be able
to respond in game two in
Amherst two days later.
The answer, fortunately,
was well.
T
Londonderry got dominated through the majority of the opener in Derry,
trailing 6-1 after one quarter, 10-3 at halftime, and
16-3 heading into the
fourth and final period.
Nick Yennaco scored
three goals for the
Lancers, Brendan Wall
collected two, and John
Derhak claimed the other
one in the loss. LHS goalie
Erik Kenison made six
saves.
The outcome left the
Londonderry crew needing to heal some wounds
as it faced another road
match in Amherst two
days later.
“I feel that we need to
focus on some fundamen-
tal parts of the game going forward,” said McCune
after the Pinkerton match.
“Working cohesively as a
unit and communicating
are hallmarks of success.
We did not do that. It
seems we were a step
behind on recognizing
and executing what needed to happen.”
But the Lancers rebounded nicely on Saturday, April 19, when they
handed the Souhegan
High Sabers a 10-6 defeat
on that opponent’s home
field.
The visitors led after
every period, notching a
5-4 advantage in the first
quarter and a 7-5 lead at
halftime. And McCune’s

oach Wayne MacDougall’s Londonderry High softball
squad’s first two games of
the 2014 season were
pretty much all-or-nothing propositions.
After absolutely hammering the visiting Manchester Memorial Lady
Crusaders by a 13-0 count
in the season-opener for
both sides at LHS last
Monday, April 14, the
Lady Lancers closed out
the first week of the campaign by suffering a hum-
C
bling 9-0 loss at the hands
of the Spaulding High
Lady Red Raiders in Londonderry last Friday.
The visitors busted a
0-0 tie by plating two runs
in the fourth inning, single
markers in the fifth and
sixth frames, and then
five more big runs in the
top of the seventh to
make any hopes of a Londonderry comeback quite
remote indeed.
The Lady Lancers only
managed to smack out
three total hits, with
Brooke Tulley, Colleen
Lewis, and Julie Hamilton
The Londonderry High softball team’s offense didn’t
manage to muster much offense against Spaulding
last week, though Brooke Tulley had one hit.
each collecting one.
But the Lady Lancers
managed to make a swift
return to the winning
track this past Monday,
April 21, on the road in
the state capital by handing the host Concord High
Crimson Tide a solid, 5-3
defeat.

GIRLS
Driscoll proved unbeatable in the shot with
her winning effort of 34
feet, 11 inches, and she
took the top spot in the
discus with a top effort of
101’3”. She was named
the Female Field Athlete
of the meet for her
impressive efforts.
Other first places were
bagged by Lady Lancers
Natalie Howes in the
javelin (121’7”), Yorgelis
Ortiz in the 200-meter dash
(27.17 seconds), Gretchen
McGrath in the 400 dash
(59.64), and the 4x400
relay quartet of Makayla
D’Urso, Kaitlyn Marchant,
McGrath, and Madison
McKivergan (4:20.53).
Howes also collected a
second place in the 100meter hurdles and a third
in the pole vault in enjoying her highly impressive
day.
BOYS
Starlin Ortiz performed his usual track and
field magic in winning the
high jump (6’6”) and the
long jump (21’4 1/2”), and
the Lancers’ 4x800 relay
quartet claimed a second
place as well.
Ortiz was rewarded for
his highly-impressive efforts by being named the

Pinkerton knotted the
score at 1-1 by scoring on

remained right there at 11 until the latter half of
the fifth, when the Lancers plated two more runs
on three hits.
Rob Del Signore drove

single a few minutes later
plated Kayo, who had

Lancers would have liked
in the top half of the seventh by notching three
consecutive singles to
load the sacks with nobody out. But Corey rebounded for two straight
strikeouts to keep the
runners just where they
were and nab two of the
three outs he required.
He issued a walk to
bring one runner home
and make it a 4-2 game,
but the hurler then collected the final out as the
next PA hitter grounded
out softly to first base,
with Corey covering.
The winning pitcher
showed the kind of emotional and athletic growth
he has undergone over
the last several years by
facing up to the intensity
of that final frame and
walking away victorious.
“Tommy has grown a
lot both as a player and as
a person over the last two
years,” said Demas. “Two
years ago he would have
folded under the pressure
in that inning.”
The Lancers bashed
out a total of nine hits with Corey holding Pinkerton to just four while
striking out eight batters -
and Evangelista and Ryan
led the charge with two
hits apiece.
Then this past Monday, the Lancers smacked
out 10 hits in a 14-2 hammering of Concord at LHS
that only went five innings, thanks to the 10-run
rule.
Rob Del Signore took
care of the pitching work
(complete game, two runs
allowed, one earned, 10
strikeouts, no walks) and
the Lancer bats got a bit
loud, led by Mike Ryan’s
two hits and four runs

Fireworks Display Set For April 26 at Fish & Game Club
JAY HOBSON
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
own Council Chairman Tom Dolan, citing complaints received last year regarding
the New Hampshire Pyrotechnics Association
(NHPTA) display at the
Londonderry Fish and
Game Club, said he wants
to get the word out early
to inform residents that
fireworks will be set off
Saturday, April 26, at Fish
and Game.
That’s the day the
Pyrotechnics Association
hosts its annual meeting
at the Londonderry Fish
and Game Club grounds,
Londonderry Fish and
Game President Rick
Olson said at Monday’s
Town Council meeting.
“That (meeting) involves
critiquing, evaluating and
examining the types of fireworks,” he said. “This year
it’s Class C fireworks, which
are generally commercially
T
available, unlike last year,
when they had Class B,
which required a whole different layer of permitting
through the Fire Marshal’s
office and fire department
personnel being required to
be present.”
Olson said the Londonderry Fish and Game
Club was “just the hosting
venue.”
Last year’s display,
which was not broadly
announced, led to numerous phone calls to police
dispatch.
“In southern New
Hampshire, we are about
the only safest location
for them to have their
annual meeting,” Olson
said. “As a result of the
critiquing of the fireworks, it’s a really nice
fireworks display.”
Olson said this year
they spent a “considerable amount of money” on
advertising the fireworks.

when residents could expect the fireworks display
to start and stop.
“What I’ve done this
year is to tell the NHPTA
president to communicate with the town and
tell them what the time
frames are,” Olson said. “I
left it with them because I
didn’t want to say something and not have it be
true, should it go longer.”
Town Manager Kevin
Smith said Fire Chief Dar-
ren O’Brien had spoken
with the association, and
the display will probably
begin shortly before dusk
and must end by 10 p.m.
“This will not be an allday affair,” Smith said.
Smith said the advertising he’s seen welcomes
the public to the gates at
8 p.m., although if the fireworks display begins
before then, the public
will be allowed in.
Olson said the gates will
be open at 6:30 or 7 p.m.
Smith said the Class C
fireworks that will be
used are the same fireworks that can be purchased at local fireworks
companies. “This will not
be the Boston Harbor display that occurred last
year,” Smith said.
Olson said last year’s
fireworks were the best
people had seen, “so I was
told.”
“It’s the ones who did-
n’t see them that called
(police),” Councilor John
Farrell said.
“So hopefully with the
ample notice and the lesser display this year there
will be fewer calls into
dispatch,” Smith said.
Councilor Joe Green
suggested that a police
department alert be put
out the day before as a
public service to let people know of the event.

82 Percent of Eighth Graders on Annual D.C. Trip
JAY HOBSON
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
ondonderry Middle
School is getting
ready for its 16th
annual trip to the nation’s
capital.
LMS Curriculum Coordinator Ann Collacchi
told the School Board at
its Tuesday, April 15
meeting that the trip was
scheduled to begin Tuesday, April 22, and conclude Friday, April 25. For
L
the fifth year, the trip
includes a stop in
Philadelphia, where students will visit Independence Hall, the Liberty
Bell, Congress Hall and
Franklin Court.
The students were
scheduled to leave at 5:30
a.m., with four buses leaving LMS, two leaving
Matthew Thornton Elementary School and two
buses leaving the Londonderry High School gym
parking lot.
A total of 335 students
– 82 percent of the class and 38 chaperones, including teachers, adminstrators, LMS Principal
Richard Zacchilli and Collacchi, were scheduled to
attend, along with four
nurses, the eighth grade
guidance counselor, two
members of the Londonderry Fire Department
who are parents of eighth
grade students, and a vol-
unteer from the Londonderry Police Department.
“The students who are
staying home will have a
Washington, D.C., curriculum project that they will
be doing,” Collacchi told
the board. “The students
that are not going are
doing so either because
they don’t wish to go or
because they do not meet
behavioral requirements.
Financial reasons are not
considered here because
we have scholarships.”
The students remaining in Londonderry will
be taught by eighth grade
teachers staying behind
and by substitutes.
Collacchi said that
this year approximately
$16,000 in scholarships
from the student activity
fund was used for approximately 38 students. The
cost of the trip is $665 per
student, the same as last
year.
Mr. Cardello’s
8 Week
Program
“That price includes
transportation, lodging,
meals, admissions and
tour guides,” she noted.
“We will be using our
Twitter accounts so there
will be updates throughout the trip, and a post
will be filed on the Middle
School web page and a
post on the LEO-21 bulletin board when we get
to Philadelphia and when
we depart from D.C.”

Gaffney said 105
schools in New England
participated and the results, which were recently
announced, ranked LMS
as 18th in New England.
The awards were presented April 17 to the five
students by LMS Principal
Richard Zacchilli.
According to Math
League co-founder Steve
Conrad of New York, Math
League was founded by
Conrad, Dan Flagler of
New Jersey and Marty
Badoian, a math teacher
from Sharon, Mass., in
1975.
“The contest is a test
with 35 problems and
some are hard problems
like 10th grade stuff,”
Smull said.
Shay said she likes
math because she likes
figuring things out.
“Math comes easily for
me and I enjoy it,” Silvia
added.
“Lots of basic things
use math in everyday life
and with this contest, it
helped you figure out how
to solve problems by
using different ways other
than what you were taught
in school,” Gore said.
Timmy Gore and
Courtney Shay were the
school’s top scorers,
with 26 problems out of
35 correct. Scott Silvia
was second with 24, and From left, Londonderry Middle School students Mae
Smull, 12, Scott Silvia, 11, Dylan Hotter, 12, LMS

Smull came in third, tied Principal Richard Zacchilli, Timmy Gore, 11, and

progress, and can be seen
at the Town website at
londonderrynh.org.
People visiting the site
usually are site planners,
tax attorneys, and commercial brokers, he said,
adding, “This is a very
small population and they
don’t want fluff.”
Dolan asked how the site
would be found on
Google.
Arnett said visitors
would write in “Londonderry Economic Development” to locate the site.
He added that the “Living
In Londonderry” link
would call up the community amenities for people
looking for a place to live.
“Where’s the hook?”
Councilor John Farrell
asked. He said Londonderry has a great story to
tell but the story was
nowhere on the site.
“If I open the front
page and I want to know

Purple Heart Replacement
At a ceremony in Manchester last
week, U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte, R-NH, presented a Purple Heart to Londonderry resident Kathryn Fernald, who accepted the honor on behalf of her late
grandfather Chris Wick. He earned the Purple Heart for injuries sustained
while serving in the U.S. Army in France during World War I. Fernald had contacted Ayotte’s office to request a replacement Purple Heart after the original was misplaced. From left are Kelly Ayotte, Kathryn Fernald, Nancy Wicks,

donderry, I went through
every link and I couldn’t
tie together Woodmont
and Pettengill,” Farrell
said.
“Did anyone ask John
Verani what he thought of
this? Verani is the largest
commercial real estate
broker in the state and
he’s right here in Londonderry,” Farrell said.
Dolan said that what
was needed was something that distinguished
Londonderry from other
communities.
Councilor Tom Freda
said there should be
some incentives for businesses to want to come to
Londonderry.
“I’ve been on the Planning Board for six years
and it always boggled my
mind that someone who
wants to subdivide their
house is on the same list
as FedEx,” he said. “I’m
splitting a house and not
going to do anything as
far as tax assessment
changing, and there’s this
company that’s going to
bring in a $60 million business. We should have a
process on the planning
board where these projects are fast-tracked..

“It would be my suggestion to put embedded
videos on the site where
we’ve got video of Sen.
Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) talking about the town and
we recently had Governor
(Maggie) Hassan here and
have videos of these leaders talking about our
town,” Dolan said.
In other business Monday night:
• Melanson Heath
president Frank Biron
gave an update on the FY
13 audit and said the bottom line in the financial
statement is that the tax
receivable balance is consistent to where it has
been in the past, The debt
balances are lower than
many communities of sim-
ilar size, he added, and
noted the General Fund
balance has been consistent in the 5 percent to 7
percent that the town policy requires, with positive
operating results in both
the General Fund and
Sewer Fund.
• Smith noted Maintenance Trust Fund Expenditures of $2,268.98 for
insulation and a vapor
barrier at the Lions Club
floor at a cost of $2,165;
winter maintenance at the
Town Hall, Police Station,
Leach Library, and Cable
