Trial Date Announced for Town
Administrator on Criminal Charges

NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
A trial date of Oct. 11
has been set for Town
Administrator John Anderson on two counts of indecent exposure and lewdness.
Anderson, 50, turned
himself in at the New
Hampshire State Police
Troop B Barracks in Bedford on Tuesday, Aug. 27,
after a warrant for his arrest
was issued last week. He
was formally charged and is
free on personal recognizance.
Anderson was charged
with the two counts after
allegedly exposing himself
to a DirecTV salesman at
Anderson’s Lane Road
home on Thursday, July 11,
as previously reported by the
Nutfield News.
He was placed on paid
administrative leave by the
Town Council and the case
was turned over by the
Derry Police to the State
Police for investigation on
July 12. They in turn sent the
case to the Rockingham
County Attorney for review,
leading to the two charges
and an arrest warrant.
Anderson was charged with
the crimes Aug. 16.
On Aug. 22, the Town
Council changed Anderson’s leave to unpaid status.
He has been town administrator in Derry for three
years, and previously worked at a similar post in Boothbay, Maine. The Town
Council awarded Anderson
a 2 percent raise June 24.
According to State
Police Capt. David Parenteau of the Investigative
Services Bureau, Anderson
has been in Maine and his
attorney has been on vacation, leading to the delay in
serving the warrant.
The charges are misdemeanors under New Hampshire statute RSA 645:1. If
found guilty, Anderson will
face a $1,000 fine and maximum sentence of 12 months
at the Rockingham County
House of Correction in
Brentwood.
Assistant Town Administrator Larry Budreau has
assumed Anderson’s duties
while the Council conducts
its own inquiry.

Classroom Sizes Raise Questions
as School Year Begins in Derry
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
While enrollment is
down for the Derry Cooperative School District, the
board and administrators are
waiting to see if there are
any last-minute registrations.
Laura Nelson, superintendent of Derry’s School
Administrative Unit (SAU)
10, gave an enrollment
report at the Aug. 27 School
Board meeting. One day
after opening, it gave a snapshot of what to expect, and
some areas of concern.
The opening day enrollment was 3,472 students in
grades Kindergarten through
8, Nelson said. This compares to 3,550 on opening
day 2012-13.
The breakdown is as follows: Ernest P. Barka Ele-
mentary School, 586; Derry
Village Elementary School,
436; East Derry Memorial
Elementary School, 402;
Grinnell Elementary School,
394; South Range Elementary School, 365; Gilbert H.
Hood Middle School, 719;
and West Running Brook
Middle School, 570.
While enrollment is
down, school choice and
other factors have led to an
uneven distribution of students. “There are still large
classes in ‘pockets’ all over
town,” Nelson said.
For example, Barka’s
fifth grades have 27, 26, 26
and 25 students respectively,
Nelson said. The district recommendation for fifth grade
is up to 25 students per
class, she said.
Grinnell’s two fifth
grades have 27 and 29 students respectively, Nelson
said.
Grinnell’s three third
grades have 24 students in
each class, with the district
standard for third grade 22,
Nelson said.
Board member Wendy
Smith pointed out that one
class at Derry Village
School had only 13 students,
and Nelson said that was
due to school choice, a program that will be phased out
over the next four years
(See related story page 5).
Nelson and board chairman Brenda Willis met with
third-, fourth- and fifthgrade teachers to discuss the
classroom size situation.
Estimating is not easy,
Willis observed, noting that
class rosters are made up in
the spring and start out fairly even. But over the summer, people move in and out

Residents Working on Appeal
to Dumpster Depot Approval

A group of residents
unhappy with the Aug. 21
decision of the Planning
Board to allow conditional
approval for Dumpster
Depot to build on Ashleigh
Drive will be filing an
appeal.
John O’Connor, a resident of the area and a State
Representative, said Friday
that Brenda Wilson, the
spokesperson for residents
abutting the project, is filing
an appeal and he is helping
with research.
O’Connor is also vicechair of the Planning Board,
but recused himself from all
board discussion and votes
on the Dumpster Depot.
David Paul, owner of the
business, is seeking to move
his headquarters, including
350 Dumpsters, to Ashleigh
Drive. While the area is
zoned I-III (Industrial III),
residents have argued that
the facility should not border
on a residential neighborhood, particularly theirs.
But the board, citing the fact
that Paul is legally allowed
to build there, voted 5-2 to

Principal Matt Olsen had
the South Range Elementary
School students in the palm
of his hand as he strolled
between two groups of students, some of them attending their first whole school
assembly.
Olsen mixed lavish
praise for his young students
with a pitch for good behavior. Being a good citizen, he
told them, is something discussed every day at South
Range.
“We have three rules at
South Range, which are also
expectations,” he told the
students.
Those kids who were
returning to the school nodded, knowing what was
coming.
The three South Range
Rules are: Be safe; Be
respectful, kind and polite;
and Do your best.
Having gotten their
attention, he introduced
Assistant Principal Lisa
Long, who acted as director
for a series of skits, with
teachers taking the parts of
kids not acting in the South
Range way, while fifth
graders took the roles of students following the three
South Range principles.
The first skit was on bus
behavior, with the teachers
pushing and shoving, tossing their backpacks, shouting, changing seats, sitting
on another’s lap, and standing on the bus seat. The bus
driver tried in vain to control
the behavior.
Then the fifth graders
NO CAT CARRIER FOR MEEEOW!
CALL Dr. De Beckers!
came in to ride the bus.
Their line was straight and
quiet, each youngster said
good morning to the driver,
took off his or her backpack
and held it in their lap as
they took their seat, stayed
seated, talked quietly, and
when it was time to leave the
bus, filed out in a single,
silent line after saying thank
you to the driver.
The second skit followed
a similar style and centered
on hallway behavior. The
third skit focused on recess.
“We expect a lot from
you here at South Range
School,” Olsen said after the
skits were completed. “We
expect you to always do
your best, and this is the best
elementary school in the
world because of you – you
all are awesome. You need
to always listen to your
teachers, always keep on
learning and having fun
South Range Principal Matthew Olsen explains to the
students assembled good and bad behavior.
doing it. If you follow these just here at school but at
three rules everywhere, not home too, you will be fine.”

Beach Advisory Remains for Chase’s Grove Pond
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
A second Derry pond
joined Hood Pond in its
“beach advisory” status this
past week.
An advisory for “fecal
bacteria contamination” was
issued for the Chase’s Grove
Beach on Island Pond Road.
Sonya Carlson of the
state Department of Environmental Services (DES) said
Friday that the beach was
sampled Wednesday, Aug.
28, and sampled again Friday, Aug. 30. The sampling
Wednesday had a score of
more than 400. The thresh-
old for determining a beach
advisory is 88.
Hood Pond was sampled
Aug. 19 and had scores of
261 on the right side and
248 the left, Carlson said.
Carlson said it’s been a
busy summer for the beach
program, with a higher-thanusual number being posted
with advisories. “The most
obvious reason,” Carlson
said, “is the fecal contamination from ducks.”
Heavy rains produced
stormwater runoff earlier
this summer, Carlson said.
“The amount of rain earlier this summer was gigantic,” she said.
But even she is puzzled
at the number of beaches
being posted. For some,
those with a large duck
demographic, it’s obvious,
she said. But others? “Who
knows?” she said.
The last day for regularly scheduled freshwater
beach sampling was Aug.
29, according to a DES
press release. Hood Pond is
closed for the year for swimming, and the advisory was
thus removed.
The fecal bacteria advisory remains at Chase’s
Grove Beach, which will be
sampled on Sept. 4, with
results available Sept. 5.
‘Lexi’s Leap to Curing Sjogren’s 5K’ is Sept. 15 in Derry
PENNY WILLIAMS
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
Alexis Brophy, who
since childhood has had the
debilitating and little known
disorder Sjogren’s Syndrome, is sponsoring Lexi’s
Leap to Curing Sjogren’s 5K
Road Race and Walkabout
on Sept. 15 to help raise
awareness about the disorder and raise money to
research a cure.
The certified 5K Road
Race and Walkabout will
take place at 9 a.m. around
Beaver Lake, following the
same route as the Derry
Turkey Trot.
The event is being designed and organized by
Brophy and local officials to
make it the biggest success
possible.
Brophy, now 18, said the
disease disrupted her school
attendance and her interactions with friends, and prevents her from holding a job.
Her father, Phil Brophy, said
Alexis is one of fewer than
10 children being treated for
this disorder at Boston’s
Children’s Hospital, and
noted the average diagnosis
takes between three to five
years, during which time

patients often undergo unneeded treatments and tests.
He said there is no cure, but
noted more people have the
disease than women with
breast cancer.
Alexis Brophy said she
was diagnosed at age 13.
“Usually it is found in
woman after menopause
and African Americans,”
she said. “I'm having this
event to gain awareness
about the disease and to
help other individuals that
may have it, but have not
been treated or have been
misdiagnosed. The trick
with this disease is to get
diagnosed early in life.”
The disease has a variety
of symptoms, including
extreme fatigue. Phil Brophy said his daughter endured blood infusions and is
on 22 different medications
while experiencing fatigue,
joint pain, and rheumatoid
arthritis.
“I would love for people
to participate in this event to
show support for this disease and help raise funds for
research to find a cure,” said
Alexis. “No one should have
to live life battling something this unpredictable and
that makes you feel so alone.
With this disease you look

great!’ though you never feel
great. Putting on a brave

happy is part of the job.

time to look at my record

with Sjogren’s, he said.
According to the Sjogren’s Syndrome website,
the illness is the second

Editorial
The Next Step
While talks are just beginning between
Pinkerton Academy and Hooksett School
District officials, it’s acknowledged that
Pinkerton is the only high school able to
accommodate the Hooksett students en
masse.
With Hooksett’s agreement with the
Manchester schools altered by the court to
allow sending its students elsewhere, the
pros and cons about coming up with an
agreement with Pinkerton are beginning to
be aired.
The negatives center on Pinkerton’s
size, with more than 3,000 students the
largest high school in the state, and its distance from Hooksett. But now that Pinkerton has a separate building and structure
for its freshmen, the size of the school does
not seem so daunting. And students from
Chester and Hampstead, long-time sending towns to Pinkerton and whose populations are well below Hooksett’s, are consistently among the top students at the high
school. Travel time, too, is not excessive.
The current sending towns also have
raised a red flag, saying their views are not
being sought by Pinkerton on the potential
expansion of the semi-private high school,
and that their own students may not have
as many opportunities with the influx of
Hooksett youth.
But what should be at the forefront is
that Pinkerton’s size also makes myriad
opportunities for achievement possible
that a smaller school cannot afford to provide, and Pinkerton today is smaller than it
was a few years ago. Students who do well
will rise to the top regardless of the number of peers.
Views change through the years, and
Hooksett parents’ concerns today about
Manchester schools are different than when
the earlier agreement was signed. The burgeoning number of charter high schools in
the area indicates parental interest in something different for their children. And Hooksett parents, who already have the right to
request their child attend a different high
school, have already been choosing Pinkerton – and this year, Londonderry.
Indeed, Hooksett’s fellow SAU towns
of Candia and Auburn look to Pinkerton as
the high school of choice for their children.
This year, Auburn has become an official
sending town to Pinkerton.
It’s hard – particularly financially – for
a school district to pull its high school students from one district and opt for another.
The previous receiving high school, in this
case Manchester, loses students and potentially class offerings. But boosting a school
district’s finances is not the reason for
choosing a high school for one’s child.
Enough Hooksett parents want something
other than Manchester for their children.
Talks between Hooksett and Pinkerton
should make it clear whether those desires
can be met in Derry to benefit everyone.

Local Chamber of Commerce
Prepares for Busy Year
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
Stacy Bruzzese, executive director of the Greater
Derry/Londonderry Chamber of Commerce, took a
deep breath before launching into her fall 2013 events
lineup: a golf tournament,
Business After Hours, Business Before Hours, and a
special effort to reach
younger professionals in the
area. There are also seminars, mixers and outreach to
the smaller towns with
Chamber members.
“Outreach, networking,
that’s what the Chamber is
all about,” she said.
Bruzzese is finishing her
first year as the first fulltime director of the Chamber, a year in which she
reached her two main goals
and helped others reach
theirs. She celebrated her
first year on the job Sept. 1.
“It has been a great year,
a year of building and
growth,” Bruzzese said.
Her goals on taking the
position were to develop and
expand programming for
members, and she thinks
that goal has been met.
“We’ve had positive feedback, from both the members and the community,”
she said.
Her second goal was to
grow membership, and she
thinks she’s accomplished
that, with 100 new members
over the year.
She’s also beefed up programming, with an average
of an event a week and
sometimes two. Fall 2013
begins with a golf tournament Sept. 9 at Campbell’s
Scottish Highlands in Salem, co-sponsored by the
Londonderry Rotary Club.
A Business After Hours
will be held Sept. 12 at Martinelli Travel, and a Business
Before Hours Sept. 18 at
Tiffany Gardens, a Londonderry bed-and-breakfast.
The kick-off for the new
Young Professionals Group
will be Sept. 17 with a Trivia Night at La Carreta Mexi-
can Restaurant in Derry, she
said.
Seminars for professionals
will include a workshop on
LinkedIn Sept. 19 and a goalsetting workshop Sept. 25.
Sept. 25 also marks the
Chamber’s initial outreach to
its smaller towns. “We are
going to Windham,” Bruzzese said. A wine tasting
from 6 to 8 p.m. at Lucia’s
Bodega is planned, and both
Windham members and nonmembers are invited.
In October she’ll take the
show on the road to Atkinson or Hampstead, and systematically reach out over
the year to Atkinson, Hampstead, Auburn and Chester.
October brings a “megamixer” with other Chambers,
including Hudson, Merrimack and Souhegan Valley,
on Oct. 1 at the Holiday Inn
in Nashua. Oct. 10 is the
Annual Dinner and Awards
Ceremony at the Atkinson
Country Club, in which the
Business and Citizen of the
Year will be named.
A professional development seminar Oct. 16 will
teach businesspeople how to
get the most out of their
tablet devices, in order to
better automate their businesses. “We try to be relevant,” Bruzzese said.
Oct. 17 will find the
Chamber at Pinkerton Academy for a Career Day and
Business Expo. The Expo
will be open to students
during school hours, open to
the public later in the day,
and will conclude with an
as-yet-undesignated guest
speaker. “We want to get
the kids ‘jazzed up,’ and also
make it interesting to the
business community,” Bruzzese said.
Oct. 19 brings a Harvest
Festival at the Londonderry
Historical Society’s Morrison House, complete with
pumpkin carving and decorating, a pie eating contest, a
pie baking contest, a chili
cookoff, and a 5-K run/
walk. “It’s prime apple and
pumpkin season,” Bruzzese
said. There will be a cos-
tume contest, and they’ll
end the day with a “business
trick-or-treat.”
Bruzzese will also bring
back her breakfast forums
on economic development,
beginning Sept. 26. The
three-part breakfast series
will focus on Economic
Development and Business
Growth, Past, Present and
Future. For the first of the
series, she said, “We’ll look
at where we’ve grown from,
what impact the railroads
had, what impact Route 93
has had.” Speakers for the
first forum, from 7:30 to
9:30 a.m. at the Robert Frost
Farm, will be Derry Town
Historian Rick Holmes and
Windham Town Historian
Peter Griffin. She’ll continue throughout the year with
“Present,” “Future” and
doughnuts.
There’s one goal that
Bruzzese, along with town
officials and the business
community, didn’t see fulfilled this year: the revitalization of Derry’s downtown.
“There has not been a lot
of forward momentum
there,” Bruzzese said. She
has talked with the town’s
Economic Development Committee and will attend a
workshop with the Town
Council in September, she
said.
Some of the problems lie
with the absentee landowners, who are reluctant to
either restore or sell rundown buildings, she said.
She recently gave a seminar
on the Rail Trail, looking at
the trail as it becomes a reality for local communities.
“We had a conversation
about how you’ll get into
downtown, from biking or
hiking,” she said. “Where do
you go for an ice-cream
cone, a cup of coffee?”
As the trail expands to
Londonderry, the need will
become “more glaring,”
Bruzzese said.
For more information on
any of these events, call the
Chamber at 432-8205.

Derry Schools Mark Positive Beginning to Academic Year
PENNY WILLIAMS
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
The consensus of the
Derry Cooperative School
District’s five elementary
and two middle school principals is that the new academic year has gotten off in
extraordinarily smooth fashion, with everyone excited to
be back.
“It has been a wonderful
opening for school,” Superintendent Laura Nelson said.
“Everything ran smoothly.
The buildings were ready and
all the teachers were ready to
welcome the students back to
their classrooms for the new
school year. It’s just been a
terrific week.”
Gilbert H. Hood Middle
School Principal Austin
Garofalo characterized the
start of classes as “smooth
as silk.” He said that was
helped by having good
weather.
With classes starting on a
Monday, and sixth graders at
the school the previous Friday, he said by Tuesday, Aug.
27, “everybody came in
ready to see their friends and
their teachers and get started
on a great school year.”
His counterpart at West
Running Brook Middle
School, Principal Leslie
Saucier, said she thought the
start to this school year was
the smoothest she has seen
at the school.
“We started with an all
school assembly where we
went over our theme for the
year – Going for the Gold –
and talked about the
school’s goals, emphasizing
how important it is for every
student to do his or her best
academically and socially,”
she said. “We are hoping to
have a fabulous year with
our students.”
South Range School
Principal Matt Olsen said
that by the second day, it
seemed as if everyone had
been in there for a month. “It
is really amazing how
smooth an opening to the
school year it was,” he said.
“The kids are happy, smiling
and skipping to school and
they don’t want to leave.”
Ernest P. Barka Principal
Dan LaFleur said, “It was an
excellent opening for the
school year, very positive,
and very smooth. It’s great
to be here in school before
Labor Day to get settled.
(Assistant Principal Stephanie Pike) and I visited
every classroom and greeted
every student, giving them a
short pep talk. We like to
personalize the welcome
rather than having a whole
school assembly right at the
start of school. All in all it
was an excellent start.”
At East Derry Memorial
Elementary School, Principal Kim Carpentino was
happy with the start of the
year, even as she worked to
get a golf tournament fundraiser organized.
“Everything ran smoothly and it is great to have the
kids back in the building,”
she said.
Derry Village Principal
Steve Miller said his students “came back with
enthusiasm. We have a couple of new staff and they are
young and enthusiastic too.
A last minute staff hiring
always fills one with trepidation, but we got really
high quality people. When
the kids come back, it brings
life back into the building.”
Grinnell Principal Mary
Hill said, “It is exciting to
see the families and the kids,
and everyone was happy to
be here, so that’s a win-win
situation. We have new people in the building and
everyone was excited to
meet them. There’s great
energy in the building. Summer goes by in a blink of the
eye, and here we are again
all ready to go.”
Federal Waiver to Change Way School District Evaluated
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
The Derry Cooperative
School District, a former District In Need of Improvement
(DINI) under the federal No
Child Left Behind act, is
moving from a “deficiency”
model to a “support” model.
Laura Nelson, superintendent of Derry’s School
Administrative Unit (SAU)
10, discussed this and other
ramifications of the federal
waiver to No Child Left
Behind at the Aug. 27
School Board meeting. The
waiver, sought and received
by the state Board of Education, will change the way
district progress is assessed,
while working “in the field”
to help it achieve that
progress.
Before the waiver, the
state had 75 districts classed
“in need of improvement”
and now there are 43, Nelson said.
Under the waiver the
government still classifies
schools as “Title I” schools,
schools that receive federal
funds under the Title I program, and Derry has three
such schools, Nelson said:
Grinnell, Derry Village and
South Range elementary
schools.
Grinnell has been named
a “Focus School” and will
receive special attention and
resources in 2013-14. The
waiver requires that the district form a “turn-around
team” for Grinnell School,
and Nelson said 25 people in
various disciplines volunteered for the team.
While the district will
still receive Title I funds,
there are fewer strings
attached and more personalization, Nelson said. For
example, it is no longer
required for a school to set
aside 10 percent of its Title I
funds for professional development, or 20 percent for
“supplemental education

School Board Chairman
Brenda Willis asked how the
district could fund professional development and
tutoring, and Nelson said the
funding was still there. “We
will receive the same
amount of funding,” she
said. “We just have more
flexibility on how to use it.”
The “sanctions” imposed
on a school or district with
School In Need of Improve-
ment (SINI) or DINI status
are also no longer valid,
Nelson said.
What’s taken their
place? A state-based model
for teacher evaluation, principal evaluation and a

in student achievement. The
model provides seven “turnaround principles” and a district improvement plan.

School Board OKs Computer Use Policy for Staff
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
The Derry School Board
has unanimously approved a
computer use policy for
adult workers in the district
that is geared to keeping
them as safe as the children
they look after.
The policy, Policy GBEF,
was reviewed and accepted
at the Aug. 27 School Board
meeting. It was hammered
out with the Policy Committee and Technology Director
Ray Larose, superintendent
Laura Nelson said.
The policy includes the
following guidelines:
• Derry Cooperative
School District network is
intended for educational
purposes.
• All activity over the
network or using district
technologies may be monitored and retained.
• Access to online content via the network may be
restricted in accordance with
our policies and federal regulations, such as the Children’s Internet Protection
Act (CIPA).
• Misuse of school resources can result in disciplinary action.
The policy applies to
school-owned technology
equipment using the DCSD
(Derry Cooperative School
District) network, the DCSD
Internet connection, and/or
private networks/Internet
connections accessed from
school-owned devices at any
time, and also privatelyowned devices accessing the
DCSD network.
The document further
states, “All technologies provided by the district are intended for education purposes.”
The policy contains
guidelines for personal safe-
ty, warning that staff should
“carefully safeguard the personal information of themselves and others.”
While the policy lists
“Internet access, desktop
computers, mobile computers or devices, videoconferencing capabilities, online
collaboration capabilities,
message boards, e-mail and
more,” it also states, “As
new technologies emerge,
the DCSD will attempt to
provide access to them. The
policies outlined in this document are intended to cover
all technologies, not just
those specifically listed.”
Violations of the policy
will bring disciplinary consequences including verbal
or written warnings, restriction or revocation of access,
removal, being reported to
outside authorities and the
police, financial restitution
or employment termination.
Barka School Wins Grant for Artist in Residence Program
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
Ernest P. Barka Elementary School has secured a
$3,083 grant from the New
Hampshire Council on the
Arts to bring sculptor Emile
Birch to the school as Artist
In Residence.
The residency will build
on work done last year by
landscape architect Laura
Campbell, Assistant Principal Stephanie Pike said, and
is the second in the school’s
three-year arts plan, “Arts
in Nature’s Environment:
Learning At Its Best!” Last
year’s project involved the
entire school, with the second-graders as the creative
force, and this year the
planning will be done by
the fifth grade, Pike said.
Pike explained that

Campbell helped the students design a butterfly garden, also with a Council on
the Arts grant. The design
and large-scale models
were created by the second
grade and executed by the
entire school under Campbell’s direction, Pike wrote
in the grant application.

nial America and Derry history, Pike said. The students
will learn the basics of threedimensional design in and
around the Nature’s Classroom space. Students in
Kindergarten through grade
4 will create designs during
their art classes and then the
whole school will vote on
the ones they want to build
in the garden. The fifthgraders, who study Colonial
America as part of their curriculum, will work with
Birch to build the sculptures.
Four concrete sculptures
will be created, she wrote.
Pike wrote that Birch
was chosen for their artist
because “he is a New
Hampshire sculptor with a
joy for experiencing artistic
discoveries made through
the process of collaboratively creating sculptures
with students in schools.”
Birch will “reside” at
Barka in March, April and
May 2014 for 10 non-consecutive days. He will
come to the school in
March to share a slide presentation of sculptures, meet
students and staff, and
attend a reception. In the
design phase the fifthgraders will make smallscale models of the designs
in Styrofoam. Birch and
the student will build fullscale replicas in wood and
Styrofoam, after which they
will cast concrete into the
final forms for the sculptures. An unveiling will
take place when the sculptures are finished.
The outdoor classroom
is used extensively for art,
science observation, reading and writing, Pike said.
The exact dates have not
been set yet. She said she
planned to meet with the
Artist-In-Residence Committee to lay out a schedule
and see what the year will
“look like.”
The sculpture project
and last year’s garden project are compatible with the
Common Core Standards,
which require children to
have “real-world experiences,” Pike said.

Pinkerton Graduate Dies After Apparent Drug Overdose
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
The Pinkerton Academy
community mourned a
woman this week whom
teachers described as quiet,
hard-working and nice.
Brittany Flannigan, 19, a
member of the Pinkerton
Class of 2012, died Wednesday, Aug. 28, after an apparent drug overdose in a
Boston nightclub. The Suffolk County, Mass., District
Attorney’s Office made the
announcement after Flannigan and a woman and man,
both in their 20s, were taken
from the House of Blues
Club on Lansdowne Street
to Beth Israel Deaconess
Hospital, where Flannigan
was pronounced dead.
The Pinkerton faculty
remembered her on Thursday, Aug. 29.
Dean of Students Glenn
Ahrens said, “She was a
solid, normal kid. She didn’t stand out, she wasn’t on
the ‘discipline radar.’” Her
two older sisters also went
through Pinkerton, Ahrens
said.
Family and Consumer
Sciences teacher Jennifer
Brown taught Flannigan in
her junior year, for Foods
and Nutrition, and was
happy to get her back senior
year for Advanced Foods.
“She was a nice kid,
hard-working, and got along
with her peers,” Brown said.
“Her friends were nice
kids.”
She also did well in both
her classes under Brown.
Though Flannigan went
to Plymouth State University to study management, she
kept her job at a local supermarket and Brown saw her
from time to time. “She was
always very pleasant,” Brown
said. “She seemed to like
college. She seemed to be a
happy kid.”
English teacher Joe Dion
was at home when his son
told him a Pinkerton graduate had died in Boston. “He
didn’t know I had had her as
a student,” Dion said.
Flannigan was a hard

of town.
Willis said it’s difficult to
know how many students
will end up spending the
2013-14 school year in Derry
because some families are
still on vacation or haven’t
moved in yet. Other families
were confused about Pinkerton Academy’s start date,
which came two days later
than Derry, and their confusion may have affected their
younger students.
“These numbers are the
Willis expressed concern
about the large fifth-grade
classes. “We do not have
the square footage for that,”
she said. “It’s difficult to
know the right thing to do.”
Willis said she and Nelson told the teachers they
will revisit the issue in a
couple of weeks and see if
the numbers are holding
steady, “and how best to
teach these children.”
Nelson named school
choice as a factor, with 60
extra students going to

worker and quiet but personable, he recalled. “We had a
good connection, good conversations about her writing,” Dion said. “She had a
good sense of humor.”
Dion, who has been
teaching 22 years, has seen
his share of students die too
early. “A young life cut
short - it’s happened too
often in my career,” he said.
“We don’t like doing
this,” Brown said of being
interviewed after a death.
“We do it for the kid.”
Brown, in her eighth
year teaching at Pinkerton,
said, “Unfortunately, I have
Barka last year rather than to
their neighborhood schools.
Special education is also a
factor, she said, with some
classes smaller by design to
serve this population.
Nelson said she had a
meeting planned with George
Sioras, town Planning Director, to look at building permits and work out some
demographics. It may be,
she said, that redistricting will
become necessary.
“The first couple of
weeks,” Nelson said, “are
subject to change.”

lost other students. It’s hard
every time it happens. It
doesn’t get any easier.”
Headmaster Mary Anderson issued the following
statement: “It was with a
heavy heart that I learned of
the death of 2012 graduate
Brittany Flannigan of Derry.
Following graduation 14
short months ago, this popular, academically solid student pursued a degree at Plymouth State University. Her
untimely death is tragic and
heartbreaking.
“It is with great sorrow
that I extend my deepest
sympathies to Brittany’s
family and friends. Brittany,
you are in the hearts and
prayers of the entire Pinkerton community.”
A spokesperson for the
Boston Police Department
said the drug in question
may have been MDMA
((3,4-methylenedioxy-methamphetamine) or “Molly,” a
pure form of the drug Ecstasy that is popular with attendees at techno or electro
music events. The drug raises body temperature and
heartbeat, and causes severe
dehydration.
The House of Blues
closed Aug. 28 in recognition of her death, and
reopened the following
night.
In the 2012 yearbook,
Flannigan’s photo shows a
wholesome young woman
with long, straight blonde
hair and a confident smile.
She’s listed as having one
school activity, the “Just
Like Us” club in freshman
year. And her final statement on her high school
career reads, “Friends, family, too many memories.
Thank you for being here.”
Jake Wark, a spokesperson for the Suffolk County
District Attorney’s Office,
said Friday that the drug
ingested by the three young
people had not been identified.
Wark said, “Part of the
autopsy process is a toxicological screening. We do
not expect that to be completed for two or three
weeks.”
Wark also declined to
refer to Flannigan by name,
stating that “Our practice in
Massachusetts is not to identify the deceased unless the
death is a homicide. That
determination has not been
made.”
Wark said he didn’t
know if the other two young
people had been released
from the hospital, but added,
“I gather they are both
expected to survive.”

Derry Cable Station Honors Its Volunteers at Cookout
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
As her boss, Chris Martin, flipped hamburgers and
the smell of roasting meat
filled the air at AlexanderCarr Park, Debbie Roy,
assistant coordinator for
Derry cable station 17,
charted the history of the
annual Volunteer Recognition Cookout. “Last year
was the first one, and it was
in my back yard,” she said.
Looking around at the chattering volunteers she added,
“I’m happy to say we’ve
outgrown that.”
Cable Access Channel
17 has more than 50 volunteers, 20 of whom are active.
They gathered last Friday to
celebrate their mission, that
of bringing information and
entertainment to the public
from the public.
State Rep. Jim Webb, RDerry, is a relative newcomer to cable, having joined
forces last year with fellow
Rep. Brian Chirichiello, also
R-Derry, to produce “Legislators’ Lounge,” a public
affairs show focusing on
what’s happening in Concord. “It is going great,”
Webb said. “We are up to 13
shows.”
They’ve hosted Sen.
Chuck Morse, R-Salem,
soon to be Senate President,
and U.S. Senator Kelly
Ayotte, R-NH. U.S. Senator
Jeanne Shaheen, D-NH, has
expressed an interest in
coming on to chat with the
two Derry reps, as has Gov-
State Rep Jim Webb, Town Councilor Mark Osborne and reporter/producer
Kimberley Haas at the Cable Channel 17 Volunteer Dinner and Awards Ceremony

For Travis, who would ro said. “There’s no censor- on wildlife and cultural
ernor Maggie Hassan.
“We are bipartisan,”
Webb said, “and we focus
on the issues. We’ll talk
about anything.”
The talk takes care of
itself, Webb noted. “We
‘seed’ the show,” he said,
and then the talk takes off.
“We don’t haul anyone back
unless we’re out of time.”
Would he and Chirichiello have this forum if not
for local cable? Probably
not, Webb said. They wouldn’t be able to buy time on
WMUR - they have no
budget.
Webb also lauds the freedom of speech local cable
gives the two producers.
“We don’t cut anybody off,”
he said. “We do ask that they
don’t say anything inappropriate, and I do edit the
shows.”
And while his show is
Derry-based, its focus on
state issues and its bipartisan spirit have led to its
being picked up by stations
in 12 other towns, he said.
The station offers a place
for younger voices to be
heard and young talents to
be developed as well. Travis
Thomas, 15, did a public
service announcement (PSA)
against underage drinking.
“The show uses the
background of an old video
game,” Travis said. “We
wanted to talk about the
‘bad stuff’ of drinking. We
used root beer bottles as pretend alcohol, and we decid-

Lee DiMauro has been
with the station a little over
two years. She had an interest in holistic health, and
when the woman who had
been doing a holistic show
retired, DiMauro asked
about taking her spot. She
was an expert in alternative
medicines but a rookie
behind the camera, and,
DiMauro said, “They taught
me everything!”
DiMauro shared a picnic
table with Andrea Klim,
who produces “Turn To the
Stars,” an astrology program. Klim has been doing
her show for four years in
Manchester and expanded to
Derry, her home, last year.
“It brings people the science of the planets and how
they affect us,” Klim said.
She tapes in Manchester and
brings a DVD to Channel 17
once a week.
“We’re happy the sta-
ship.”

Janet Fairbanks and Kevin
Coyle have a public affairs
show on Channel 17. “They
do a wonderful job of allowing us to put our views out
there,” Fairbanks said. “Now
they’re working to get me on
the other side of the camera.”
When the volunteers had
eaten their fill, staff members Martin, Roy, producer
Sean Zajac and reporter/producer Kimberley Haas took
turns passing out certificates
of recognition.
Tom Wood, a 10-year
volunteer, received the Lifetime Achievement Award.
“I’m not sure when he started, but for a while he was
the only person who could
do editing,” Martin said.
Wood said later that he
began shooting in 2001 for
the First Congregational
Church of Pelham. He came
to Derry on a temporary gig
with New Hampshire Vocational Rehabilitation, and
affairs. He’s currently producing a series, “Living
With Autism,” a panel show
exploring life on the autism
spectrum.
Volunteer Russell Wolff
was honored as Best OnLocation Support Volunteer;
Marty Dunlavey, Best Volunteer Producer; Caroline
Sullivan, Best On-Air Volunteer Talent; Jim Webb,
Best Independent Promotion; Spindel Eye Associates, Longest-Running Series; and Mike Riley,
Volunteer of the Year. Riley
proved his worth - he was
behind the camera shooting
the awards ceremony.
The evening was bittersweet, as Haas announced
that she has accepted a position with Foster’s Daily
Democrat in Dover. “I thank
you for what you do each
and every day,” Haas said.
She said she would begin
her new job Sept. 16.
“She has done an excellent job here - we are proud
of her,” Martin said.

O’Connor said he is
helping Wilson with research, particularly in the
area of obtaining copies of
paperwork, reviewing state
regulations and reviewing
other cases in New Hampshire.
Referring to the June 19
Planning Board meeting,
O’Connor said the board
members had added several
conditions to Paul’s approval. Paul and his engineer, Chris Tymula, asked
for a continuation. Town
Administrator John Anderson asked for a continuation,
which was approved by the
board.
The conditions suggested in the June 19 meeting
were ones O’Connor thinks
the abutters could live with,
such as no Saturday hours
and no un-emptied contain-
ers brought back. But the
conditions have changed,
O’Connor said, and the plan
the Board voted on Aug. 21
allows Saturdays, expanded
hours and a provision for
Dumpsters returning with
material inside them.
O’Connor said he’s been
studying past cases, including one in Plaistow. The
Plaistow Planning Board
approved a site plan for a
facility deemed a “contractor’s yard,” but there was no
definition of “contractor’s
yard” in the zoning ordinance. The plaintiffs appealed, the decision was
appealed to the Zoning
Board of Adjustment (ZBA),
and the ZBA upheld the
appeal because there was no
definition for a “contractor’s
yard” in the zoning.
O’Connor also has “serious concerns” about garbage
and traffic. While Paul said
he doesn’t handle garbage,
some of the firms that con-
tract use of Dumpsters do.
“You still have the residual remains from garbage,”
O’Connor said. He remembered going with his father
to the older man’s second
job, collecting garbage from
cheese factories. The containers were emptied onto
garbage scows, which went
out to sea and dumped the
garbage, “but there was still
all kinds of stuff in the containers,” O’Connor said.
When the Dumpster
Depot application first came
in, Code Enforcement Officer Bob Mackey determined
that it was a “contractor’s
yard,” O’Connor said. But
as with Plaistow, there is no
definition of “contractor’s
yard” in the ordinance. A
“contractor’s yard” is permitted in the I-III zone
under permitted uses, but
“the definition is not there,”
O’Connor said.

the project would have
“adverse traffic impact” and
cause “odors, fumes, smoke,

The appeal could go in
two directions, O’Connor
said. If they appeal Mackey’s administrative decision
about the “contractor’s

ZBA. If they appeal on
“permitted uses” it may go
back to the Planning Board.
They may also appeal to

said.
As a six- to eight-year

Board, O’Connor sees both
sides. He has explained to
the abutters that Planning

Pinkerton Academy Students Head Back to Campus
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
Micayla Pica settled in at
a table on the deck outside
Pinkerton Academy’s Senior
Café. The senior from
Derry admitted she’s both
apprehensive and excited
about leaving high school
this spring.
“It will be weird to be
independent, to not have
someone taking care of me,”
she admitted. Then she
brightened
and
said,
“Today I packed my own
lunch.”
It was a time of “firsts”
and possible “lasts” as
Pinkerton students hit the
campus Wednesday, Aug.
28, for the launch of the
2013-14 school year. From
seniors to freshmen, they
shared their goals and hopes
for a new school year - and
for some of them, the grand
finale to public school.
Approximately 3,100
students from Auburn,
Chester, Derry and Hampstead poured on to the Derry
campus on Aug. 28 for a day
of abbreviated classes. The
freshmen had arrived the
day before. As they relaxed
over lunch, Mary Mason of

“loves” all her classes and
teachers, she added.
Bridget came to Pinkerton from a school of 100 students, the Seacoast Charter
School in Kingston, so the
size of her new high school
has been an adjustment, she
said, adding, “I was nervous.” But Freshman Orientation helped her “a lot,”
she said.
“The upperclassmen who

everything easier,” Mary
contributed.
Both girls plan to focus

On the deck at the Senior

set. He’s taken the electrical

“They will pay for me to

“I want to become something, have a great future,

Jeff Norris, also of

Be that as it may, the

The first half was rather

for Pinkerton) during that
period.

Guertin Lady Cardinals of
Nashua in Derry last Friday,

flawed. But perhaps the only
thing worse than collecting a
lackluster victory in your
first match of a new season is
having to deal with a defeat.
Senior midfielder Katyann Grochmal potted the

shot, and the ball rolled
weakly in on the Guertin
goalie.
With just two minutes to
go before the halftime break,
Grochmal slammed a corner
kick from the far right corner
of the BG zone toward the
Guertin net, and it sailed to
her Pinkerton teammate
Grace DiPersio standing in
front of the left post. But
DiPersio’s header floated
over the left post and out of
bounds, and the match
remained scoreless.
Grochmal changed all of
that in the third minute of the
second half when she took a
clearing pass out of the PA
zone from Erin Coutts,
sprinted the ball down the
right side of the field, and
lofted a shot over the BG
goalie’s head from about 25
yards out.
The Lady Cardinals
made an even more concerted effort to pot the gametying tally during the final 20
minutes of the match, but
Pinkerton netminder Mitchell and her teammates put
up a stop sign and kept it up.

Mitchell’s most impressive stop of the day was
undoubtedly her sterling

forwards with approximately
18 minutes left to go.
The Lady Astros put a
total of nine shots on the
Guertin net in the victory.

Astro Golfers Hoping to Finish 2013 Campaign Stronger

Academy golf team opened their 2013 season well late
last week by winning a four-team match at the

——◆—–––
The Pinkerton Academy
golfers who return this fall
from the school’s 2012 team
have had to deal with a sour
taste in their mouths for
quite a long time. And
they’d like nothing better
than to rid themselves of that
awful sensation.
The Astros enjoyed a
superb regular season last
fall, posting a 21-5 record
and serving notice to everybody else that they’d be a
force to be reckoned with in
the state tournament.
That didn’t wind up
being true as coach Joey
Lee’s Astros finished a disappointing ninth in the tournament - finishing at 22-13
overall as a result.
But coach Lee has six
returning starters back for
this season, and adding six
promising newcomers to
that seasoned crew has created plenty of reasons for
optimism in the Pinkerton
camp. And the Astros man-
aged to begin the new campaign in great fashion by
besting all three opponents
at the Hoodkroft Country
Club in Derry last Friday,
Aug. 30.
“This year’s team has a
solid core of returning players who experienced adversity at the end of last season
and are hungry for an alternative outcome,” said the
coach. “Promising younger
players hope to contribute to
a strong nucleus, with eyes
on making it as a team to the
Canterbury Country Club in
early October.”
The veterans include senior captain Eric Byrne and
his fellow 12th graders Matt
Galvin, Ryan Christie, and
Jim Rice. And seasoned juniors Kaitlyn Lutinski and
Matt Barnes have also come
back to help their team reach
for the top this fall.
Pinkerton’s crew of newcomers includes senior
transfer student (from Holderness) Bailey Walsh, juniors Michaela Griffin and
Jason Bing, and sophomores
Marshall Halpin, Nate Ralston, and Matt Hall.
In the season-opening
match against the squads
from Manchester Memorial,
Merrimack, and Spaulding
of Rochester at Hoodkroft
last Friday, coach Lee’s
crew managed a fine team
score of 200 to best everybody. Merrimack was second (205), Spaulding third
(215), and Memorial fourth
(215).
Halpin and Rice finished
in a four-way tie for the top
individual score of 39, with
their fellow Astros Byrne
(40), Lutinski (41) and
Galvin (41) winding up
close behind.
Local Track Club Closing in
on Grand Prix Crown Again
CHRIS PANTAZIS
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
The Greater Derry Track
Club (GDTC) has been an
absolute powerhouse in the
annual New Hampshire
Grand Prix race series over
the last few years. The local
club appears to have itself
lined up to win its third
championship in the last
four years in the series this
year.
The annual series pits
New Hampshire’s running
clubs against one another in
a pre-determined series of
running events. The club
that collects the most points
for its racers’ finishers in
those events strides away
proudly with the Grand Prix
championship.
The GDTC team took
the Grand Prix titles in both
2010 and 2012, and with
just two races remaining in
the eight-event 2013 series,
the local squad holds a
pleasing 764-715 lead over
the Gate City Striders’ contingent. The Upper Valley
Running Club is a very distant third (341), with the
Granite State Racing Team
fourth (302). The Rochester
Runners, Athletic Alliance
Running Club, and Coastal
Athletic Alliance are all
under 100 points through six
events.
GDTC runners Patrick
Connelly and Lynn Fawcett
lead the age-graded standings among the individual
racers.
The recent Sandown Old
Home Days 5-Mile race was
a pivotal event for the
GDTC crew as its 173-point
performance that day - with
the Gate City Striders notching just 121 - enabled the
locals to take over the 2013
Grand Prix series point lead.
Additionally, each year
the New Hampshire Grand
Prix recognizes all runners
who have participated in
every race in the series that
season with what is called
“Granite Runner” status.
And the list of GDTC racers
who have competed in every
race this year is lengthy, consisting of Bob Dolan, Bonney Cashin, Brenda Coyle,
Brian Coyle, Carolyn Morgenstern, Caryn Pepin, Jim
Peters, John McGarry, Patrick Connelly, Regan Coyle,
Robert Parent, Scott Abercrombie, and Sean Coyle.
The Grand Prix series
concludes with the St.
Charles 5K race on the seacoast in Portsmouth this
month and the Granite 10Mile event in the state capital in October.

Pinkerton Boy Booters Get Season Rolling By Bouncing BG
CHRIS PANTAZIS
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
Tommy Martin potted
two goals and David Parrott
and Phil Lerner each tallied
once to help lead the
Pinkerton Academy boys’
soccer squad to a satisfying,
season-opening 4-1 defeat
of the Bishop Guertin High
Cardinals in Nashua last
Friday, Aug. 30.
Veteran coach Kerry
Boles’ booters bagged two
goals in each half, with BG
potting its lone marker just
two minutes into the second
half to narrow its deficit
from 2-0 to 2-1. But the
Astros later nabbed two
quick goals to snag the 4-1
win.
Senior captain Martin who also collected an assist
for setting up Parrott’s goal got the scoring started with
eight minutes to go in the
first half when he converted
on a penalty kick. And he set
up senior Parrott’s first varsity marker with just 20 seconds remaining in the half to
put the Astros up 2-0.
Guertin got the deficit
down to a single goal just
two minutes into half number two, but Pinkerton ran
away with the match with
tallies by Lerner and Martin
in quick succession a little
bit later.
Lerner got the first of
those on a set-up by Kyle
Hicks in the 57th minute of
the contest, and Martin tallied again with an assist
from Jacob Konstant just a
minute later.
Eric Werner wound up
making four saves in the
Astros’ net and Jimmy
Mansour contributed one.
And senior captain and
defensive stalwart Tim
Wood drew specific praise -
along with Martin and senior Zach Bell and junior
Alex Ebner - from coach
Boles following the match.
“This was a nice way to
start the season,” said the
coach. “We certainly have
some things to work on, but
Lady Harriers are Looking to Group Up Tightly
CHRIS PANTAZIS
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
Anybody who has spent
any time at all around crosscountry teams knows that
“tight grouping” is one of
the key terms in the sport
and one of the factors that
leads to most good teams’
success.
And tight grouping will
be particularly vital for the
Pinkerton Academy girls’
cross-country squad this fall
as it looks to match or even
improve upon a strong 2012
campaign that saw it post a
6-1 regular season record
and grab a fourth place at the
Division I championship
meet in Manchester’s Derryfield Park at season’s end.
Veteran coach Amy
Bernard - herself a former
Pinkerton running standout
and notably the female winner of the annual Londonderry Old Home Day Race
recently - finds herself with
an impressive mix of returning veterans from the 2012
contingent and promising
newcomers intent upon
making their marks in New
Hampshire high school
cross-country over the coming months.
Among the returning
starters are seniors Haley
McMullen and Danika Ashness, junior Kaila Cote, and
sophomores Morgan Sansing, Ariel Vaillancourt, and
Taylor Lacey. Another returnee with previous varsity
experience is 10th grader
Vivienne Rouge.
Brand new to the Pinkerton mix for the 2013 campaign are juniors Kristen
Sobolewski and Olivia
Tracy and freshmen Sara
Muller, Sadie Farnsworth,
and the aptly-named Bela
Fast.
“Our keys to a successful
season are keeping everyone
healthy and keeping a tight
back with (runners) numbers
three to seven in our top
seven. We will be successful
if our varsity can run fast
and stay close to one another,” said coach Bernard.
The academy team will
officially begin its 2013 season
by competing in the highlyanticipated annual Souhegan
Relays at Freestyle Farm in
Amherst this Saturday, Sept. 7.

Seniors Turn Out for Derry Recreation’s Annual Picnic
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
Alice Walsh of Derry has
been coming to the Derry
Parks and Recreation Senior
Picnic for quite a few years,
she said. “It’s a good time
to get out, to see people you
don’t see all the time,” she
said as she relaxed at a table
with friends. “The food is
good - I take a little bit of
everything.”
Parks and Recreation
held its annual Senior Picnic
on Wednesday, Aug. 28,
under a tent at Gallien’s
Beach on Beaver Lake.
About 100 area seniors left
the cooking to Rec as they
enjoyed food, friends and
being outdoors on a late
summer day.
Parks and Recreation
Director Eric Bodenrader
said the cookout has been a
department tradition since
From left, Alice Walsh and Marilyn Hilliard enjoy catching up at the Senior Picnic
hosted by Derry Parks and Recreation at Gallien’s Beach last week.
there’s been a Recreation
Department. He’s been with
the department on and off
for 22 years, and he can’t
remember a time without it.
Parks and Rec provides
and grills hamburgers and
hot dogs, Bodenrader said.
The staff bring the salads,
soda and water and paper
goods. But the seniors like
to give back, and contribute
desserts and salads to make
it more of a potluck atmosphere.
As she checked the salad
table, Program Coordinator
Nicole Ferrante said seniors
enjoy the cookout because
it’s one of Rec’s few outdoor
events for their age group.
“It’s a nice, beautiful day,
they’re by the water, and
they get to reconnect after
the summer,” Ferrrante said.
The day was sunny and
hot, with a few sailboats on
the lake. As other local residents caught some afternoon
rays, the seniors gathered
under the white tent. A disc
jockey from Sowa Entertainment whipped through
several decades – ‘60s music
for the youngest seniors, big
band for the Greatest Generation, Elvis for everyone.
Walsh sat at a table with
Marilyn and Don Hilliard
and Gloria and Fred Balser.
The Hilliards have been
attending the picnic since
she retired in 1994, Marilyn
said, adding, “The only year
we missed it, I was in Vegas.
“What I like best is getting to see the people,” she
said, adding, “I’m always
talking.”
“Whether she knows the
people or not,” her friend
Walsh said jokingly.
Don Hilliard gestured to
a cookie and asked his wife,
“What is that?”
“Oatmeal,” Marilyn said,
and when he nodded she
handed it to him.
Some of the seniors forgot their diets for one day,

scooping up everything that
looked good, while others
were more judicious. Marilyn Hilliard fell into the latter group. She said she was
focusing on the homemade
specialties her friends brought. “I can eat hamburgers
and hot dogs any time,” she
said.
She was also focusing on
the watermelon, saying with
a smile, “Nothing is better
on a hot day!”
The luncheon would be
followed by raffle prizes,
including gift certificates to
local restaurants, and possible line dancing, Bodenrader said. But the seniors were in no hurry to stop
chatting - or eating. In addition to the main dishes there
were crackers, chips, fruit
and an array of desserts,
including a sheet cake, pies
and myriad cookies.
“Kill me now,” one
woman said with a smile as
she put a brownie on a plate.
The DJ’s next song fit
the mood perfectly: Three

World.”

Community Caregivers Seeks Volunteers for Variety of Tasks
PENNY WILLIAMS
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
Community Caregivers
of Greater Derry provides
services for those in need in
Derry, Londonderry, Windham, Sandown, Chester,
Hampstead and Danville by
using volunteers.
Executive Director Cindee Tanuma spends the bulk
of her efforts finding and
coordinating volunteers with
those in need of services.
“We are meeting the
transportation needs in the
towns of Windham, Sandown and Danville almost
entirely by drivers from surrounding towns,” she said.
“Our model works best for
all if we are utilizing people
within the same town to help
one another. Therefore, we
really need drivers in those
towns.”
She said she also needs
handymen in all seven towns
served, now that she has a
partially funded Project
Upkeep program in place.
With that program, she
expects to get more small
home maintenance and
repair requests.
“We also need a few
more committee members to
help organize our 25th
anniversary celebrations this
fall,” Tanuma said. “Good
phone etiquette and interpersonal skills are a must.”
Volunteer drivers are
needed to take folks to local
medical and dental appointments. Volunteers need help
only two or three times a
month. And with fall coming, Caregivers will need
large and small groups to do
fall clean-up projects such
as raking, trimming, burning, and beautification.
Specific needs are as follows:
for someone to take her to
Shaw’s one morning a week
and help with items on high
and low shelves. Also needs
help bringing out the trash
and bringing in the mail.

Transit Service Cuts Back on Grocery Trips
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
A cutback in transportation services by the CART
(Cooperative Alliance for
Regional Transportation)
organization will leave some
Derry residents scrambling
for a way to get to the doctor
or the store, as board members and staff try to find
ways to restore the funding.
The agency will cut its
Derry service to Walmart,
the Market Basket in
Londonderry and medical
offices from five days a
week to two, officials
announced last week. The
cuts come due to a reduction
in funding on the federal,
state and local level, Board
Chairman George Sioras
said.
Sioras, who is planning
director for Derry, said the
money for transportation
services comes from the federal government through
New Hampshire Department of Health and Human
Services. It’s usually a half
million to $900,000 and
“trickles down” through the
state government, Sioras
said. Towns using the service are responsible for a
share of the funding.
Windham eliminated its
$30,000 funding for CART
and is no longer using the
service.
Derry cut its CART
budget two years ago and
level-funded last year,
Sioras said. It paid $42,000
and cut $12,000, so it now
contributes $30,000 to the
system.
The agency made cuts in
its services to other towns to
accommodate the hole left
by Windham’s exit, Sioras
said.
Sioras said the service
has had to establish priorities. Medical needs and
“life things” come first, followed by trips to the grocery
store.
Sioras said he hears “a
lot of positive things” about
the service. “The people
who use it are generally the
most in need,” he said. If
we’re not funded, I don’t
know where people will get
transportation.”
Beyond the basic life
needs, riding the bus and
getting out is a social outlet
for some people, Sioras said,
and he’s eager not to see that

State’s 10-Year Transportation Plan to be Discussed Sept. 12
JAY HOBSON
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
The New Hampshire Department of Transportation
has scheduled a meeting for
Thursday, Sept. 12, at the
Moose Hill conference
room at town hall to discuss
the state’s 10-year transportation plan.
According to Bill Boyn-
ton, public information officer for the state Department
of Transportation, 25 such
hearings are scheduled
throughout the state.
“What these hearings are
for is to let residents know
what the 10-year transportation plan looks like and to
give them an opportunity to
have input,” he said this
week. “The 10-year plan is
updated every two years and
some projects are added and
move up the list and others
are dropped, so this is for the
10 years from 2015 to 2024.”
According to Boynton,
“every two years it sort of
starts over.
“There’s this plan that
prioritizes projects throughout New Hampshire for
transportation and the
Governor’s Advisory Commission on Intermodal
Transportation (GACIT),
which starts with a draft
plan,” he explained. “It carries a lot of stuff that was in
the previous plan and then
we go around the state,
which is what the meeting in
Londonderry is, and hear
from local officials, police
chiefs, fire chiefs, interested
citizens about what they see
as important projects in their
community. We take all of
that information and come
back and evolve that into
what becomes the final draft
that goes to the governor
later this year. The governor
puts it in the form of legislation and then it becomes a
bill and the legislature votes
on it. By June of next year,
that will be approved as the
next 10-year plan.”
The draft 10-Year Plan
for 2015-2024 is not yet public, Boynton said Tuesday.
The proposed Interstate
93 Exit 4A is listed in the
current 2013-2022 plan,
which is state law, but is not
funded - part of a total of
$250 million in unfunded
projects listed.

Annual Art on the Common Show is Saturday in Londonderry
JAY HOBSON
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
The annual Art on the
Common Fine Art Show
returns Saturday, Sept. 7, to
the Londonderry Town
Common at the corner of
Mammoth and Pillsbury
Trial Date
Meanwhile, Cornelius
Sullivan, Anderson’s attorney, issued a statement
Tuesday that he said he
hopes will clear up inaccuracies relating to his client.
Some media reports had
referred to the potential for
requiring extradition of
Anderson from Maine,
although the Nutfield News
never did so.
“There never was any
need for the prosecution in
this case to consider extradition," he said. "From day
Roads. Hours are 10 a.m. to
4 p.m.
Local artists and those
from surrounding communities will be showcasing their
art.
Artists scheduled for Art
on the Common include
Londonderry artists Tim
Loraditch, Barbara Scott,
and Jason Williams, and
Derry artists Dana Brown
and Elissa Tombarello.
They will be joined by
artists from Deerfield, East
Kingston, Franklin, Goffstown, Kensington, Litchfield, Milford, Nashua, and
Salem.
This year’s Art on the
Common features art in the
categories of painting, drawing, sculpture and 3D works,
fine art photography and a
multiform category entitled
“Eclecticco.”
In the Eclecticco catego-
ry are print making, collage,
mixed media and found
object art.
In addition, the Londonderry Arts Council has
added a theme competition
to this year’s event titled
“Spatium Illuminatio Negative: An Illumination of
Negative Space.”
Admission is free. Rain
date is Sunday, Sept. 8.
For more information,
call 845-9974 or visit the
Londonderry Arts Council
website at: www.londonderryartscouncil.org.
one we have expressed our
willingness to cooperate
with the authorities on this
case. Ironically, it was the
defense that initiated contact
with the state and local
police in mid-July concerning this case. We then waited
more than a month for the
investigation in this case to
be completed and for a
determination to be made as
to whether any charges
would issue."
Sullivan continued,
"When I was notified late in
the day on Aug. 16 that the
state would be pursuing misdemeanor charges against
Mr. Anderson, I advised the
state police that my client
was out-of-state visiting
family and friends and that it
would be impossible for him
to return before the close of
business on that date. I was
leaving on a family vacation
the following day and
requested, and the state
police agreed, that upon my
return from vacation, Mr.
Anderson and I be permitted
to appear at the state police
barracks in Bedford so that
the misdemeanor charges
against Mr. Anderson could
be formally processed."
This took place as planned
on Aug. 27.
Sullivan also expressed
disappointment about the
State Police "leaking" information to the press, while
allegedly refusing to provide
the defense with details concerning the allegations. Sullivan wrote that because of
this, he will conduct formal
discovery as the case progresses.
Sullivan concluded,
"This is the first time that
Mr. Anderson has ever been
charged with any kind of a
criminal matter. Mr. Anderson is adamant of his innocence in this case and I am
convinced that once all of
the facts in this case come to
light, my client will be fully
exonerated."
Anderson's trial is set for
Oct. 11 in Derry District
Court.
“As the Town Administrator for the Town of Derry
for the last three years, Mr.
Anderson has been a valued
employee and worked hard
on behalf of and with the
Town Council to formulate
balanced budgets during the
past recession and to bring
town construction projects
in on time and under budget,” Sullivan said. “Mr.
Anderson stands ready to
return to work as soon as the
Town Council permits him
to do so.
“On behalf of my client,
I also would like to thank all
of the citizens of Derry who
have offered their kind
words of encouragement
and support to Mr. Anderson
during the last several
weeks,” he concluded. “Mr.
Anderson has been humbled
by that show of support and
looks forward to being able
to return to work serving the
Town Council and the citizens of Derry.”
