State Police Investigate Incident
Involving Town Administrator
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
Derry Town Administrator John Anderson is on paid
administrative leave after an
undisclosed incident that
occurred Thursday, July 11,
placed him under investigation by the New Hampshire
State Police.
This comes just weeks
after the Town Council
awarded him a 2 percent
raise on a 4-3 vote.
The Town Council met
in an emergency nonpublic
session Friday afternoon,
July 12, and made the decision to put Anderson on
administrative leave.
Anderson was at his
home at 8 Lane Road at the
time of the alleged incident.
As of press time Tuesday
afternoon, July 16, he had
not been arrested and had
not been charged with any-
thing, nor had any court
hearing taken place.
He remains on administrative leave pending the
investigation by the State
Police.
A listing in the July 11
police log may be related.
According to the log, police
were summoned to a Lane
Road residence for “suspicious activity.” Three patrol
officers and a sergeant responded to what was listed
in the log as an “offense.”
Police responding to the first
call were Sgt. David Michaud and Patrol Officers
Mike Moulton, Raul Rivera
and Stephen Clark. The
follow-up call to Lane Road
involved Michaud, Rivera,
Clark, Patrol Officer Robert
Corwin, and Detectives
Edward Budroe and Dana
Park.
According to Derry
assessor’s records, the home
at 8 Lane Road is listed as
purchased in 2010 by
Anderson and Catharine
Sherrill.
The Nutfield News filed
a Freedom of Information
request for the complete narrative on the police log item,
which was rejected by the
Derry Police Department.
Derry Police Capt. Vern
Thomas, who handles media
inquiries, wrote in a response, “Your request is
hereby denied for reasons
highlighted in the referenced
Supreme Court decision
regarding police documents
and investigations.”
Thomas cited Lodge V.
Knowlton, a case in which
the Supreme Court adopted
relevant portions of the federal Freedom of Information
Act for determining whether
police investigative records
are subject to disclosure.

Public Forum Discussion Ends
With Two Councilors Walking Out
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
The June 9 Town Council meeting ended in discord,
despite recent pleas for civility from Chairman Michael
Fairbanks.
Councilors Brad Benson
and Neil Wetherbee left the
meeting before it was
adjourned, after Benson’s
motion to adjourn was not
voted on.
Tensions did not surface
until the “open discussion”
portion of the meeting, at the
end, when Councilor Mark
Osborne brought up the concept of public forums. The
Council has had several discussions this year on
whether or not to respond
immediately to the citizens
who bring their concerns to
the microphone.
Osborne’s theory is that
everyone deserves a voice.
“When we at the dais are
uncomfortable with what’s
being said, we don’t have the
right to interfere,” he said.
“If it’s not violent or profane,
we should take our lumps.”
Osborne, an attorney,
said he’d had experiences in
court where he would ask a
question, and the judge
would say, “Sorry, Mr. Osborne, now you’ve opened a
door.”
Osborne advocated for a
direct response to the speakers. “I promise I’ll make eye
contact with them, and if I
agree or disagree, I will look
at them,” he said. “I won’t
wait till they take their seat,
or till they leave the room.”
He concluded, “We are
not inviting the dialogue that
a ‘public forum’ asks for.”
The philosophy behind
“public forum” became the
topic, with Wetherbee saying, “The issues are to be
decided by the seven of us.
The seven members of the
board set the policies.”
Personally, Wetherbee
said, he hasn’t seen a lot of
productive discussion coming from the public forums.
Councilor Al Dimmock,
who often spoke at public
forum before he was elected
to the Council, disagreed.
The decisions should be

Derry Continues Ambulance
Contract with Auburn, Chester
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
The Town of Derry will
continue to provide ambulance service to Auburn and
Chester, after a majority of
the Town Council voted to
approve a new five-year
contract with each town.
Councilors Neil Wetherbee, Brad Benson, Phyllis
Katsakiores, Tom Cardon
and Chairman Michael Fairbanks voted in the affirma-
tive at the July 9 meeting,
with Councilors Al Dimmock and Mark Osborne
voting in the negative.
Fire Chief George Klauber and EMS (emergency
medical services) Director
Chuck Hemeon presented
the contracts.
The base contracts for
both towns are the same,
Klauber said, beginning at
$57,301 from July 2013 to
June 2014, and ending at
$83,896 in July 2017-June
2018. That is a 9 percent
annual increase, compounded to 45 percent over five
years, Klauber said.
In addition, residents
who use the service are
required to reimburse Derry.
Gross revenue from Auburn
was $104,392, FY 11 and
$129,098, FY 2012. Gross
revenue from Chester was
$110,858, FY 11 and
$111,980, FY 12, Klauber
wrote in a fact sheet.

Council OKs Seeking Grant for Updated Police Equipment
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
Two of Derry’s police
cruisers will have an updated camera and recording
system, thanks to a grant
from the U.S. Department of
Justice.
The Town Council authorized Town Administrator
John Anderson to apply for
and accept the grant during
its July 9 meeting.
Police Chief Edward
Garone spoke to the grant.
He said the Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) is given
by the Department of Justice
and has been offered for several years. The amount each
town is offered is based on
the prime index, and this
year Derry is eligible for
$20,610. The grant is
administered at the county
level and the county takes 5
percent, leaving Derry with
a net of $19,580.
Garone said he wants to
begin upgrading the cameras
and recording devices in the
cruisers. Under the current
system, he said, the patrolman has to have a supervisor
help download the sound
and video from a shift, and
that could take up to 20 minutes. It’s a waste of manpower, Garone said.
Under the proposed system, “As the cruiser pulls
into the parking lot, the
police software automatically downloads the pictures
and recordings, and places it
on the station computer.”
All 11 cruisers have cameras and recording devices,
Garone said, adding that
technology has improved
since they were installed.
The grant would allow
the installation of updated
devices on two cruisers, he
said. He said he would con-
tinue to look for ways to
bring the new technology to
the other nine, including
possible repurposing of
funds left over from a previous JAG grant.
There are no matching
funds associated with this
grant, Garone said, and the
only expense is “miniscule if someone wanted a copy of
the tape.”
Councilor Mark Osborne asked Garone about
the benefit of having cameras and recording devices
in the cruisers.
Garone responded, “Let’s
start with the premise that
our officers are honest, trustworthy, and do their jobs.
We do have occasional complaints.” Since they’ve had
the on-board recording
equipment, they’ve been able
to review the incidents in
question, Garone said.
“Not to our surprise, our
sations.”
officers are acting properly,” away.”
The cameras, Garone
The Council voted 7-0 to
he said. “When we show the
tapes to the individual with a said, keep the department have Anderson apply for the
complaint, they usually back from “false and costly accu- grant.

Town to Review Drug Policy for Employees
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
The Derry Town Council
will take no immediate
action on a petition from a
citizen asking it to institute
drug testing for all employees and a no-tolerance policy for the workplace, but it
will review the policies it
has with an eye toward
doing what’s best for Derry.
Lawrence Budreau, human resources director and
assistant town administrator,
gave a report at the July 9
Town Council meeting in
response to resident Mike
Gill’s petition, which had
been delivered to the Council June 18.
Budreau reviewed the
current policies, including:
• Police Department: a
pre-employment physical,
psychological and drug test;
• Fire Department: a
Department of Transportation-compliant process in-
cluding pre-employment drug
screening, random drug
screening, post-accident
drug screening and screening when there is “reasonable suspicion” of abuse; and
• Public Works: a menu
of testing for all those who
hold a CDL (Commercial
Driver’s License), including
pre-employment screening,
random screening, post-accident screening and “reasonable suspicion” screening.
Budreau said policies
had been developed in accordance with Chapter 5 of the
town Administrative Code,
Section 8 of the Town Charter, and “best practices.”
These policies cover
three of the town’s major
departments, Budreau said.
The remaining department is
Administrative, and there
the hiring process is “rigorous,” involving hiring panels, thorough background
checks, and FBI criminal
records checks.
“We are in good shape
there, as tight as any municipality in the state,” Budreau
said.
But the town cannot condone employees using drugs,
Budreau added. While most
of the employees know that,
his take-away from Gill’s
petition was that the town
draft and post an official drugand alcohol-free workplace
policy. “I suggest we draft it
over the next several weeks,”
Budreau told the Council.
In Budreau’s opinion,
instituting random drug testing is not an option. He
pointed out that the Fourth
Amendment requires “reasonable suspicion” for
search and seizure. He told
Councilors that for universal
drug screening of employees, they would have to factor in “privacy, philosophy
and cost.”
Budreau reminded the
Council that their response to
Gill’s petition is discre-
tionary. “I recommend you
take no action at this point,
but leave it to the purview of
the Town Administrator and
department heads,” he said.
He also recommended that
the Council ask Town
Administrator John Anderson
to create a draft statement,
and report back to the Council at its Aug. 6 meeting.
Budreau later wrote in a
letter to Gill, “The Council
chose not to formally act
upon the petition; rather they
accepted my suggestion that
the Town’s employment
process and consideration of
drug testing policies appropriately falls within the
scope of the Town Administrator’s responsibility. John
Anderson asked me to follow through, make a recommendation, and report to the
Council on Aug. 6.”
Budreau asked Gill to
meet with him and Anderson in the near future to discuss Gill’s concerns.
Everyone Welcome at J&F Farm Tour
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
The Derry Conservation
Commission is going to the
farm, and everyone’s invited.
The Commission will be
visiting with Phil Ferdinando, owner of J&F Farms on
Route 102, on the morning
of Saturday, July 20.
“It’s a good way to start
the day,” Conservation
Chairman Margaret Ives
said at the July 8 Conservation Commission meeting.
The J&F event is a threeyear tradition, Ives said, and
it’s fun. “We all meet at the
farmstand, Phil hitches a hay
wagon to his tractor, and we
all pile in,” she said.
But the event is educational as well, Ives added.
Ferdinando, who has several
conservation easements on
his property, describes the
different things he’s doing
for better irrigation and less
disturbance to the land. He
recently showed them how
he’s improved his irrigation
system so he can use less
fertilizer, she said.
“Phil is very informative,
and he reminds people
where their food comes
from,” member Dennis
Wiley said.
The tour takes about an
hour and fifteen minutes,
after which the attendees are
free to visit the J&F Farm-
stand. “I’ll probably pick up
some fresh eggs,” Ives said.
The tour is also great for
children, Wiley said.
And Ives said, “I learn
something new every time I
go.”
The tour is open to the
public, not just the Conservation Commission, members emphasized. Member
Paul Dionne said, “If we run
out of room on the wagon,
the Commission will walk
behind it.”
“You come away,” Ives
concluded, “with a respect
for someone who loves the
land and knows how to work
it.”
The tour kicks off at 8
a.m. at the farm on Route
102.

Doing Our Share
Whether or not border guards and high
fences make any difference in stopping illegal entry into the United States, they have no
impact at all the invaders in our midst every
day.
Conservation officials remind us that invasive plants are a problem in our towns. And
they’re a problem in our waterways as well.
According to the state’s invasive species
coordinator, invasive plants impact endangered or threatened species, reduce diversity
and wildlife habitat, impact water quality,
damage property and can lead to the starvation of birds.
Japanese knotweed, bittersweet, purple
loosestrife, multiflora rose, and burning bush
thrive locally, and literally have a stranglehold on portions of our woodlands and roadsides.
But we don’t have to leave our yards to
encounter invasive plants – plants we never
put in the ground ourselves.
The invasives are many and varied, and
some, such as burning bush and loosestrife,
are pretty. That attractiveness doesn’t make
up for the damage they cause.
Homeowners can help control these
invaders by learning to identify them, joining in volunteer efforts to control them, and
carefully disposing of any soil that gets on
clothes, shoes or tires during the eradication process.
Removing them by hand may work if
populations are small. Chemical or biological control may help. Check with the state’s
Cooperative Extension Service for advice.
What invasives do is simple – they take
over, crowding out native plants. It’s a battle
we may be losing, and it isn’t a problem left
to someone else’s backyard, because if the
plants are there, or by the road, they’ll be in
your yard soon.
Meanwhile, if you think the water is safe
from unwelcome visitors, think again.
With boating season underway, state officials regularly issue warnings to boaters to
pay attention to what they might be putting in
the water. At Beaver Lake in Derry, lake
hosts check boats before they enter the water
to make sure they aren’t bringing unwelcome
weeds to a lake currently free from damaging
invasives. Summers in New Hampshire now
demand a new way to look at hitchhiking and
littering – boats, trailers, motors, fishing
equipment, bait buckets, and diving gear can
carry aquatic weeds, leaving an infested lake
in their wake.
With no natural predators, the plants
quickly dominate native plants, fish, and
aquatic life. That translates into impaired
water quality and reduced shorefront property values.
Once an invasive gets a foothold, it’s too
late. Prevention is key, and is the duty of
every boater.
And back on land? Contact your local
conservation commission, Extension Service
or the state for advice on getting rid of invasive plants. This battle won’t be won unless
each of us does our share.
Rude Behavior
To the editor:
After reviewing the
Town Council meeting of
July 9, I must say I am concerned.
Brad Benson stated that
the meeting of the Derry
Town Council is the council’s business meeting, not
for the people. He states that
the public forum does no
good that he can see so far.
The town council is
elected by the people and for
the people. The council
meeting is the meeting of
the public citizens of Derry
with their elected councilors
at the helm.
I understand that citizens
need to be involved in their
community and the council
will not always hear what
some council persons like to
hear. I think we have to all
relish in the fact that there is
power in numbers, and as
Americans we have the right
of the freedom of speech.
This is the era of change
and sometimes the change is
not easy, but we must all be
ethical, take a bite of humble
pie and always show everyone the respect they deserve
as living, breathing human
beings. We are not puppets
or bobble head dolls, we are
educated and concerned for
our futures.
Mr. Benson and Mr.
Wetherbee were totally
rude and they owe the Chair
of the council, their fellow
councilors and the public
watching at home an apology. Shouting out at Mr.
Dimmock as they did was
horrible.
It takes a big person to
say they were wrong. When
you present a hostile attitude,
you get it back. It is the old
principle called “Act and
React.” All our councilors
are valuable, and they must
remember that there is no “I”
in team. The public forum,
the councilors’ questions and
brainstorming are the way to
be successful. Right now,
decisions appear to be very
emotional, instead of purely
business like. Another old
adage is I/E, a fraction that
equates to Intelligence over
Emotion. An emotional decision is always reversible,
where an intelligent decision
will be a definite answer.
Our town depends on the
Town Council for the effective and efficient operation
of our town. Each member
of the council was elected by
the citizens of Derry, New
Hampshire because of their
knowledge and their dedication to our town.

Hats Off
To the editor:
Hats off to Matt Olsen,
Lisa Long, Megan Neeb
and all the first graders at
the South Range Elementary School. They showed
their patriotism on Flag
Day with a concert for their
parents, grandparents and
teachers, starting with the
Pledge of Allegiance and
ending with “I’m Proud to
be an American,” dedicated
to South Range’s military
families.
This was a far cry from
the article from California’s Santa Rita School
District, where a fifth grade
teacher at the Gavilan Middle School told a 13-yearold that the picture she
drew of the American flag
with the words “God Bless
America” was offensive.
The School District made
her apologize.

Cardon on Quest to Find Elusive Origins of Exit 4A
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
When Tom Cardon
comes home from teaching
culinary arts at a vocational
high school, he has homework of his own: figuring
out what’s going on with the
proposed Exit 4A off Interstate 93 into Derry. Specifically, he’s wondering where
the original contract went.
Cardon, now a Town
Councilor, has been following the proposed exit since
1993, when he joined the
Derry Taxpayers’ Association. At that time, he said,
“I thought it was going to
help bring in industry, to
help our commercial side.”
His opinion had changed
by the time the then-Council
voted in 1997 to approve
floating a bond for $5 million to pay for Derry’s share
of building 4A. Neighboring
Londonderry was also
expected to put up $5 million.
“At that time, I knew it
was going to cost much
more than $10 million,” Cardon said.
Cardon contests whether
Derry should even have put
up money, noting, “The federal government builds exits,
not the towns.”
The exit was authorized
in 1985. Twenty-eight years
later, not an inch of blacktop
has been put down.
Derry didn’t float the
bond, Cardon said, and the
$5 million remains unbonded and unspent. But there’s
the matter of $1.8 million
requested from each town to
fund an “environmental
impact study,” a total of
$3.6 million. The study was
supposed to be done in
2002, he said.
Mitigation is still being
worked out on the property
owned by Hyrax, the firm
that bought out the original
developer, Boston North,
Cardon said.
And the prices continue
to escalate.
Cardon continues to look
for the contract binding
Derry to the $5 million.
He ticked them off on his
fingers. “The Town of Derry,
the Town of Londonderry,
the Department of Trans-
portation - nobody has it,”
he said.
He petitioned Hillsborough Superior Court to look
at records of a lawsuit
between Boston North and
Londonderry. “It took me
five months, I had to take a
day off work, and when I got
to the courthouse the records
were not there,” Cardon
said.
Former Mayor May Casten, now deceased, also
searched for the contract
from 1992 to 1994, Cardon
said. “And when May Casten couldn’t get her hands on
something - Does it even
exist?” he asked.
The exit is now on the
state’s 10-year highway
plan, with the state saying it
will pay $19 million toward
the cost, Cardon said. But
that’s pocket change for an
estimated cost of $45 million to $50 million.
“And that just covers the
actual exit,” Cardon said.
Further roadwork, extending from the Derry/Londonderry line to Route 102,
is estimated at $21 million,
not including property pur-
chase, another $4 million to
$5 million, he said.
Cardon e-mailed Bill
Boynton, media relations
professional for the state
Department of Transportation, asking if Derry would
be held liable for completing
the roadwork. “He said,
‘That’s a bit fuzzy,’” Cardon
recalled. “And I said,
‘You’ve got to be kidding
me.’”
Boynton said he doesn’t
remember any conversation
with Cardon. He theorized
that Cardon was most likely
speaking with Peter Stamnas, a staff member of the
Highway Design Bureau
and the point person for I93.
In a phone interview
Monday, Stamnas said he
didn’t know what the proportions would be, but he
knew that Derry and Londonderry were expected to
split the costs of the roadway.
DOT has only committed to the interchange itself,
Stamnas said. The $19 mil-
lion for the exit is part of
$250 million for the overall
expansion of I-93 from
Salem to Manchester, none
of which is currently funded,
he said. The expansion of I93 up to Manchester has its
environmental
plan
approved, while the plan for
Exit 4A is still in the works,
he said.
Stamnas listed the steps
yet to be completed: finishing the environmental study,
a “record of decision” from
the Federal Highway
Administration, and final
design. “Then there’s a project,” he said.
Stamnas emphasized
that DOT is committed from
a planning standpoint, noting, “There is no project
yet.”
Derry and Londonderry
would be expected to pay
what is left after the Department of Transportation puts
in its $250 million, he said.
At a State of the Region
breakfast in May, Gov. Maggie Hassan pledged to make
funding 4A and widening I-
93 a priority. “I understand
how important this effort is
to Derry and Londonderry,”
she said. “We know there
are businesses just waiting
to grow and begin adding
jobs.”
What would Cardon like
to see happen?
“I’d like to see it go
away,” he said.
The original plan was to
improve commercial and
industrial development, he
said, and expand the tax
base. But over 28 years, the
area in question has already
been filled with commercial
and industrial development.
The exit will benefit
Londonderry’s commercial
and industrial development,
including the proposed
Woodmont Commons, and
it will benefit commuters
from Chester, Sandown,
Auburn and Raymond who
want to get off I-93.
“But I don’t think it will
do anything for Derry
except congest roads,” Cardon said.

Derry Fire EMS Achieves Three-Year Accreditation
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
The Derry Fire Department is one of 10 municipal Fire Service-based EMS
(emergency medical service) agencies in the country
to receive accreditation from
the Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance
Services (CAAS), and the
only one in New Hampshire.
Town Administrator John
Anderson made the announcement at the Tuesday,
Anderson
continued from page 1
Thomas wrote that records
could be withheld if producing the records would, 1:
interfere with enforcement
proceedings; 2: deprive a
person of a fair trial or
impartial adjudication; 3:
constitute an unwarranted
invasion of privacy; 4: disclose the identity of a confidential source; 5: disclose
investigative techniques or
procedures; or 6: endanger
the life or physical safety of
law enforcement personnel.
Thomas declined to comment, referring all questions
back to Acting Town Administrator Lawrence Budreau
and the State Police. Thomas
also declined comment on
the two Lane Road calls.
The State Police did not
respond to telephone calls or
a Freedom of Information
Act request as of press time.
Anderson came to Derry
in September 2010 after
July 9 Town Council meeting, and Fire Chief George
Klauber spoke to the honor.
Klauber said the threeyear accreditation is given to
departments that have met
the goals and standards for
the industry.
The process included a
comprehensive self-assessment, a lengthy application
and an on-site review,
Klauber said.
There are more than 100
standards to meet, including
budgeting, strategic plan-
ning, coordination with outside agencies, problem resolution and risk management,
he said. Nearly 5,000 pages
of documentation were submitted during the process.
The CAAS review team
visited Derry on April 18
and 19. “We were happy to
note there were no deficiencies cited in their report,”
Klauber said. “On April 29,
the CAAS Panel of Commissioners reviewed our
application and based on the
review of all documents, the
site visit and the report from
the on-site review team,
CAAS granted the Derry
Fire Department a full threeyear accreditation expiring
April 30, 2016.”
Klauber gave credit to
Paramedic Matt Evans, who
took the lead in the process,
along with EMS Director
Chuck Hemeon. Others involved included the paramedics and EMTs (emergency medical technicians);
Bill Rutherford, director of
the Mechanical Division;
the Fire administrative staff,
the EMS director of Parkland Medical Center and
the town Human Resources
and Finance departments.
Klauber wrote in a
memo, “CAAS accreditation is designed to help EMS
agencies increase organizational performance and efficiency, increase clinical
quality, and decrease risk
and liability. Accreditation
provides a template for making comprehensive organization changes that improve
the overall performance of
the organization.”
Klauber further wrote,
“Accreditation to the members of the Derry Fire
Department represents our
firm commitment to our
patients and community. We
continuously strive to do our
best and we view accreditation as another step toward
excellence. We have achieved accreditation but we
believe it can only be a stimulus for continued improvement.”
unanimous appointment by
the then-Town Council. He
was Town Manager in
Boothbay, Maine for 10
years before that.
On the MyLife social networking site Anderson is listed as “John P. Anderson, born
in 1963 and currently living
in Derry, New Hampshire.
Before that he is listed as living in Pittsfield, Mass. and
Boothbay Harbor, Maine.”
Last week’s meeting was
called under RSA 91A:3 II
(a) and III, regarding “the
dismissal, promotion or
compensation of any public
employee or the disciplining
of such employee, or the
investigation of any charges
against him,” and minutes of
nonpublic meetings.
After the 45-minute emergency meeting, Council
Chairman Michael Fairbanks announced three resolutions, all passed unanimously by the Council. The
first was to put Anderson on
administrative leave.
The second resolution
appointed Larry Budreau,
the assistant town administrator and human resources
director, to act as administrator during the investigation, and the third authorized
Budreau to be the spokesperson for the town regarding Anderson.
Budreau said in a statement to the media, “Certain
allegations involving our
Town Administrator have
been brought to the town’s
attention. These allegations
do not involve the town.
The matter has been referred
to the New Hampshire State
Police.”
During the investigation,
he said, Anderson would be
put on administrative leave
with pay under the provisions of the charter until the
investigation was complete.
Budreau said the matter
was referred to the State
Police because Anderson
was not performing his official duties for the town at the
time of the alleged incident.
Budreau said he did not
know why details of the
incident were being kept
from the public by state and
town police.
“It’s the beginning of the
week,” he said on Monday.
“I expect to talk with them
today.”
In a special Town Council meeting June 24 to discuss a raise for Anderson,
councilors floated several
numbers before settling on a
2 percent raise.
The nonpublic session
was held Monday, June 24,
at 6:30 p.m. for the stated
reason of RSA 91:A-3, II
(a), the dismissal, promotion
or compensation of any public employee or the disciplining of such employee or
the investigation of any
charges against him or her,
unless the employee affected (1) has a right to a public
meeting, and (2) requests
that the meeting be open in
which case the request shall
be granted.
Six Councilors voted to
enter nonpublic session.
Councilor Phyllis Katsa-
kiores was not present but
participated later by telephone.
A motion was made to
give Anderson a 2 percent
raise. Councilors Brad Benson, Neil Wetherbee, Fairbanks and Katsakiores voted
yes, with Thomas Cardon,
Mark Osborne and Albert
Dimmock voting no.
Cardon’s “no” was mostly in line with the town belttightening, he said in a
phone interview. He said
Anderson was a good manager.
“He’s smart, and I’m impressed with what he knows,”
Cardon said. But Anderson,
at an annual salary of
$122,000, was “already making a pretty good salary,” and
Cardon did not think this was
the year for a raise.
“It was in the best interests of the town to vote no,”
he said.
Dimmock said he wasn’t
against a raise for Anderson,
he was concerned about the
amount. While others suggested as high as 4 percent,
Dimmock held out for 1 percent.
“Other Councilors wanted him to make more than
anyone else in the town,”
Dimmock said, noting that it
wasn’t fair to administrators
like Public Works Director
Mike Fowler, who had been
with the town a long time, or
Ed Garone, its police chief
for 40 years.
“I am trying to save the
town money,” Dimmock
said.
Osborne, who ran on a
platform of fiscal conservatism, pointed out that Anderson had gotten a raise last
year.
Like Cardon, Osborne
said his vote was in no way
a criticism of Anderson’s
work, but a recognition of
fiscal realities. “This is a
good year to put a freeze on
everything,” Osborne said.
“He could afford to go one
year without a raise. People
in the private sector have
gone longer.”
Benson, Wetherbee,
Katsakiores and Fairbanks
voted against sealing the
minutes, while Cardon, Dimmock and Osborne voted in
favor of sealing the minutes.

Conservation Commission Warns Residents About Knotweed
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
The Derry Conservation
Commission is warning residents about a particularly
vicious invasive plant, and
will spend time in its August
meeting discussing ways to
beat it.
The Commission is concerned about Japanese
knotweed on town, state
and private property.
The knotweed, an unusually aggressive plant, is
impervious to traditional
methods of control, including mowing, commission
member Jim Arruda said.
He suggested “flagging” the
weed so members of the
Public Works Department
could recognize it and leave
it alone.
The Commission agreed
to hold a workshop on
knotweed control, and then
discuss the problem with
Public Works Director Mike
Fowler.
Conservation Chairman
Margaret Ives said she had
noticed the plant on Beaver
Lake Avenue, where it was
leaning over a stream. She’s
also seen it on Island Pond
Road, Lane Road, Franklin
Street and near the Transfer
Station, she said.
Its presence at the Transfer Station is due to wellmeaning residents who cut
the bamboo-like stalks from
their own yards and bring
them in to the dump for disposal, members said. If a
few stalks fall off the discard
pile, that’s all knotweed
needs to start growing again,
wherever it lands.
Member Paul Doolittle
suggested a prize for the
person who brings in the
largest piece of knotweed,
and Arruda suggested a
recipe contest. “It’s similar
to rhubarb,” he said.
Members said knotweed
looks a little like bamboo.
According to a fact sheet
from the University of
Maine, Japanese knotweed
is a fast-growing, easily recognized herbaceous perennial that grows from 3 to 9
feet in height. It forms large
thickets where it colonizes.
The leaves are 2 to 6 inches
long, oval, with somewhat
squared bases and pointed
tips. It is sometimes referred
to as Mexican bamboo
because of its large hollow
stems. From August to September it produces small
greenish-white flowers that
grow in linear clusters along
the stem.
There are three ways to
get rid of it, according to
Arruda.
“You can cut it and
smother the roots, starve it
for life,” he said. It takes
five years for the final vestiges of the plant to die,
before one can plant something else there.
Some herbicides also
work, he said. Member
Paul Dionne is investigating
an organic product from
Canada, not yet widely used
in the United States, that is
supposed to be effective.
Reproduction from rhizomes (horizontal underground stems) enables the
plant to be easily transferred
to new sites by flowing
water and by soil used as fill,
the fact sheet continued.
Unchecked, this plant can
colonize extensively in
riparian areas - and once
established, it is difficult to
remove.
The fact sheet recommends that the best method
of controlling this species is
“to prevent it from becoming established. It should be
removed as soon as possible
if it is found colonizing an
area.” Once established, it
can be eliminated by repeatedly cutting the stalks. Three
or more cuttings in a single
growing season can offset
growth of the rhizomes.
An alternative is to cut it
down repeatedly and apply
glyphosate to the remaining
part of the plant. Digging up
the roots is not suggested
because digging can lead to
root fragments that can
repopulate the area.
The method recommended by the State of New
Hampshire is also to “cut,
cut, cut, cut,” Arruda said.
“If you cut it back every two
weeks, you will eventually
starve it of nutrients,” he
said. “Cut it - and doublebag it,” he said.
The August meeting is
Aug. 5 at 7:30 p.m. in the Japanese knotweed has established itself at the Derry
Council Chambers.

Town Council Votes for Grant to Buy Two Salt Trucks
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
has approved entering into a
grant agreement with the
State of New Hampshire for
the purchase of two one-ton
trucks as part of the Chloride Reduction for I-93
Municipal Program.
Councilors voted 6-1,
with Mark Osborne the dissenting vote, to authorize
Anderson to apply for and
accept the grant.
Mike Fowler, Derry director of public works, appeared
before the Council at its Tuesday, July 9 meeting, to explain
the grant. Fowler said, “As
part of the widening of I-93,
towns in the southern tier of
the state have been asked to
reduce their salt usage. We
have been working cooperatively with the (state) Department of Environmental Services and the Department of
Transportation.”
Through the grants, Derry
was able to purchase a fiveton truck in 2010 and two
five-ton trucks in the second
round in 2012, Fowler wrote
in a memo. His department
is seeking authorization to
apply for and accept a grant
to purchase two one-ton
trucks in the third round,
which is ongoing.
The sticker price for the
two trucks is $163,000, with
80 percent reimbursement
from the state, leaving the
town to pick up a net cost of
$32,600, Fowler said.
He said the FY 2014
budget already includes both
the expected revenue and the
cost of the trucks.
State Representative John
O’Connor, R-Derry, spoke
in favor of the grant, noting
that he recently sponsored
HB 523, protecting the liability of contractors who are
voluntarily certified in saltreduction best practices.
O’Connor noted that 40
water bodies in New Hampshire
have
increased
amounts of chloride, and
that these are mostly in the
southern part of the state.
O’Connor noted that not
reducing road salt could have
an effect on future economic
development. The federal
government will not give the
DOT permission to continue
with expansion until all the
towns are compliant, and the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) could
enact a ban on development,
O’Connor said.
The EPA could also
mandate that the town use a
manufactured chemical product instead of salt, to the
tune of $1,200 per ton as
opposed to the going salt
price of $65 per ton.
Fowler said there is a
three-fold benefit to buying
the trucks, and thus reducing
salt on the roads. There’s
the obvious environmental
benefit, he said. There’s also
a cost savings. These trucks
are calibrated, and when
they stop, they are not continuing to dump salt at random. They also come with a
pre-wetting system, dampening the salt so it will stick
to the pavement instead of
bouncing off, and enabling
the town to use less salt.
Councilor Tom Cardon
asked what would be done
with the current two trucks.
Fowler said one would be
repurposed to the wastewater department, the other
most likely sold at auction.
“Could we wait a couple
of years?” Cardon asked.
Fowler said they could,
but that this might be the last
round of the grants. Also,
he said, his experience with
older trucks points to more
repair costs. And the rotating truck replacement is part
of the Capital Improvement
Plan (CIP), he said. If he
had waited for the CIP
instead of replacing trucks
in Round Two of the grant,
they would not have been
replaced until 2015 and
2016, he said.
“This makes our fleet
‘younger,’” Fowler said of
the grant.
Osborne asked about the
condition of the two trucks
slated for replacement.
“They are in great
shape,” Fowler said. “They
could be used another couple
of years. But if we wait
eight, nine or 10 years, it will
cost more to repair them.”
Councilor Al Dimmock
said he had gone to look at
the trucks awaiting replacement. “They don’t have
tanks or speed controls,” he
said. “That alone would save
us money on salt. If we don’t
get them now, we may not
have the grant later. We can’t
afford to pass them up now.”
He added that Fowler
gave the current trucks “more
longevity than I would.” He
doubted if the trucks had two
years left in them.
“We need them, we’ll
save money in the long run,
now’s the time to do it,”
Dimmock said.
Anderson said the one
truck wouldn’t be a “gift” to
Wastewater, but that department would pay the town
back for it.
The Council voted 6-1 to
apply for and accept the
grant, with Osborne the dissenting vote.
Ambulance
tract, there will be a
$114,000 hole in the budget.”
Klauber said Auburn and
Chester don’t affect staffing
or equipment. He noted that
he would still have the same
amount of staff if they
dropped the two towns, and
the same number of ambulances, one at each of
Derry’s four stations.
But, he said, Auburn and
Chester would still be calling Derry for “mutual aid,”
and the town would receive
no revenue from that.
It is cost-effective for the
contracting towns to pay
Derry, he said. Klauber said
a private ambulance company charges up to $2,200 for a
call, compared with the
$860 Derry charges.
Cardon observed that
there had been criticism over
the years that Derry residents were being slighted,
and that Auburn and Chester
weren’t paying their fair
share for what they received.
Hemeon disputed this,
saying that when an Auburn
or Chester call comes in,
“We send one ambulance
and two people. If something happens to someone in
Derry, they get all our
resources.”
“Can you ‘squeeze’
more out of them?” Fairbanks asked.
Klauber said he doubted
it, pointing out that the previous contract had 5 percent
increments and the current
one, 9 percent per year.
Osborne checked salaries and reported that the
revenues from the first year
of an Auburn contract would
not cover the cost of the
lowest-paid Derry EMT
(emergency medical technician). But Klauber reminded him that the transport
patients still paid, and that
there was $200,000 of revenue.
Chester bought its own
ambulance as a back-up but
rarely uses it, Klauber said.
And when it does, it pays
Derry $250 per trip.
The vote was 5-2 to
approve the contract.
Klauber told the Council
and television audience that
Derry has been providing
ambulance services to
Chester since the 1970s and
Auburn since 1990.
The major change in
these contracts, he said, is an
increase in fees. Klauber
noted that a previous Council had directed him to find
revenue sources that did not
impact the taxpayer.
“Together they bring in
more than $200,000 annually,” Klauber said.
According to Klauber,
the amount of time Derry
ambulance personnel spend
in the two contracting towns
is minimal: 2.6 percent
annually in Auburn and 1.9
percent annually in Chester.
Councilors questioned
what the Derry ambulance
budget would look like if the
town dropped the contracted
service. Town Administrator John Anderson said, “If
we don’t approve this con-

Town Council Tables Lawrence Street Release Plan
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
has decided to table discussion on “release of public
servitude” of a portion of
Lawrence Street, after
Councilors expressed confusion about the proposal.
The issue came to the
Council’s attention at its
June 18 meeting, when a
staff report from Michael
Fowler, director of Public
Works, asked the Council to
release a portion of the right-
of-way between Beacon and
Sargent streets, a “paper
street” dedicated in 1902 but
never completed.
Steve Robichaud, owner
of 12 Lawrence St., brought
the request for Release from
Public Servitude because he
wanted to build a garage on
a portion of the paper street.
Though Robichaud originally asked for 240 feet by 40
feet, the request was modified by town staff to 180 feet
by 40 feet when fellow resident Nancy Trow, who owns
three Lawrence Street lots,
asked for a portion of the
right-of-way to be retained
so she could have access to
one of her lots. Trow also
said she mowed and maintained the piece.
Anderson said the dimensions of the piece to be
released were modified “in
order to keep neighborhood
harmony.”
Fowler wrote in a memo
that the town could discharge its interest in the
right-of-way according to a
process in RSA 231-52.
At the June 18 meeting,
Councilors voted to table the
issue to July 9, and directed
the concerned parties to
come up with their own
solution. They did, Anderson and Fowler said.
But Councilor Al Dimmock objected, asking what
would be done with the
remaining 60 feet.
Anderson said, “It will
be retained as a paper street.
In the future, the town could
develop it.”
Dimmock contested the
180 feet, saying that
Robichaud had originally
applied for 240 feet, and
Dimmock didn’t understand
why it had been reduced.
“What’s the advantage to the
town?” Dimmock asked.
Anderson responded, “If
we have 240 feet, we have
one happy resident and one
unhappy resident. If we
have 180 feet, it’s a compromise and everybody wins.”
Dimmock, who has visited the property, contend-
ed, “If we release the entire
portion, someone will pay
taxes on it. And Mr.
Robichaud will have a better
opportunity to build his
garage.”
Dimmock said the usual
practice was to release an
entire road from public
servitude. But Fowler said
according to regulations, the
Council could release any
portion it chose.
Dimmock was also critical of the effort to please all
parties, noting, “We can’t
just say, ‘Somebody doesn’t
like this.’”
Chairman Michael Fairbanks reminded the Council
of the June 18 meeting, and
the directive to find a solution that was “palatable” to
all parties.
“Do all the parties agree
on this?” Councilor Tom
Cardon asked Fowler.
Fowler hesitated a moment before saying, “It is
palatable.”
Councilor Mark Os-
borne also visited the property and said the abutters
and neighbors were cordial
to him. “It’s not a Hatfield
and McCoy situation,” he
said.
Osborne agreed with
Dimmock’s concerns. “It
doesn’t make sense for me
for the town to keep a little
bit of property that won’t be
used,” he said, adding,
“Sometimes you have to be
King Solomon and split the
baby. Sometimes not.”
Osborne proposed an
amendment to the motion,
returning the release to the
original dimensions. But
Councilor Neil Wetherbee
said, “I can’t support that. If
you’re going to adjust something, adjust it in advance.”
Osborne withdrew his
motion, and the Council
agreed 6-1 to table the issue
until Fowler could come up
with a better picture of what
the changes would be. Dimmock’s was the dissenting
vote.

Derry Youngsters Excel in Second Week of Summer Fun Runs
Young ladies in the 4-to-6-year-old age group head off during the Greater Derry Track Boys in the 4-to-6-year-old age category get under way during the second Greater
Club’s fun runs at Pinkerton Academy on Thursday, July 11. Photos by Chris Pantazis Derry Track Club fun runs of 2013 at the Pinkerton Academy track on Thursday, July 11.

NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
Fun, healthy exercise,
and a sense of accomplishment are all available to
young runners each Thursday night at Pinkerton
Academy’s track in Derry
when they take part in the
Greater Derry Track Club’s
(GDTC) weekly summer
fun runs.
And a slew of young
folks from Derry got their
performances noticed during the week-two runs at PA
on Thursday night, July 11,
by placing among the top
three finishers in their
respective age groups.
Two of those young
folks took first places in
their divisions, and the competition was formidable as a
crowd of 170 kids signed up
to run after the rain stopped
and the temperatures slid.
That turnout brought to
368 the number of children
enjoying the first two
Thursday evening races. The
kids and their parents donated 290 pounds of non-perishable food as their registration fees to take part in
the July 11 event, and those
food items were brought to
the St. Thomas Aquinas
Food Pantry in Derry to help
local folks in need.
The top finishers from
Derry included divisional
winners Henry Hood (11-
year-old boys) and Nicole
Alves (12-year-old girls).
Also notching top-three
finishes were 9-year-olds
Kyle Santangelo (second
place boy) and Gabriella
Gilbert (third girl), 11-yearolds Noah Gilbert (second
boy) and Simon Crocker
(third boy), 12-year-olds
Mac Johnson (second boy)
and Mark Santangelo (third
place boy), and 13-year-olds
Cam Phelps (third boy) and
Priscilla Ong (third girl).
The remaining summer
fun runs will take place July
18 and 25 and Aug. 1 at the
Pinkerton track, with registration at 6 p.m. and the
races starting at 6:30 p.m.
GDTC volunteers lead the
children in stretching and
give running tips prior to
races, and the different age
groups run from 50 meters
to a cross-country mile.
Those aged 14 and older run
the open mile. All runners
receive participation rib-
bons, and watermelon,
water, and Gatorade are
available to all racers. The
only request is that one or
more non-perishable food
items be donated each week
to help restock the St.
Thomas Food Pantry.
Runners who complete the
series will receive medals
and T-shirts from the
GDTC.

Derry Senior Legion Nine Aims to Stay on the Tourney Track
CHRIS PANTAZIS
District B contests and with
the regular season winding
down, the local crew’s chief
task has been to keep a grip
on one of the two state tournament spots reserved for its
district and advance.
In that effort, Mullin’s
young men headed into their
important match-up with
rival Londonderry Friday,
July 12, at Pinkerton Academy, having snared victories over Milford on the road
the previous Monday (a 218 blowout) and Salem the
next evening (a 6-3 decision) in Derry.
With manager Mullin’s
mob grasping a 9-2 record
and a real shot at the state
tourney, the Post 27 crew of
Londonderry came into last
Friday
night’s
game
attempting to keep its playoff hopes percolating by
improving upon its 5-3
record with a victory.
Manager Rick Brothers’
Post
27 boys did get that vicDerry Senior Legion outfielder Chris Gerossie and his
teammates couldn’t manage to out-hit the tory, but it was anything but

contest at Pinkerton Academy late last week.

has seen his Derry Senior record in its first dozen
NUTFIELD NEWS
midst of their determined
hosts.
“They’re a good team,
and a good hitting team, and
they took advantage of some
of our mistakes and got the
win,” said Mullin.
Londonderry’s four-run
offensive output in the top
half of the third inning was
pivotal, but not decisive as
far as the Derry bunch was
concerned, as it battled hard
to stage a comeback from
the third frame onward.
The visiting side got the
scoring started in the top
half of the first by touching
up Derry starting pitcher
Josh Yaratz for a run on two
hits. Ryan Moloney did the
honors for the Post 27 crew
by lacing a single that
scored Jake Welch, who had
smacked a one-out double
moments earlier.
Pinkerton answered and
took over the lead in the bottom of the second when
Londonderry starting hurler
Tommy Corey struggled
with his control and walked
four Derry batters.
Dan Morin and Grant
Wagner started the inning by
each drawing walks, and
Brandon Paquin followed
with Derry’s lone hit of the
frame - a single - that scored
Morin.
Moments later Joe Murphy drew a walk to load the
bases, and Justin Bundzinski
accepted a free pass minutes
after that to force Wagner
home and make it a 2-1 contest.
But the Post 27 guys
took the lead for good with
that four-run effort in the top
of the third that featured four
hits, including a stinging
two-run triple off of the bat
of that Moloney kid.
Derry’s pitchers Yaratz
and Morin then held
Londonderry to just one hit
and zero runs the rest of the
way, giving their offense the
chance to post a comeback
with a great shot at succeeding in turning the contest
around, despite the 5-2
deficit it faced in the third
inning.
Yaratz lasted through the
seventh inning, allowing
seven hits and three walks
and striking out six wouldbe hitters. His team got two
runs back in the latter half of
the seventh thanks to a tworun double from Jamie
Collins, but Derry would
leave the potential tying run
on base in the seventh,
eighth, and ninth frames and
see the 5-4 score go against
it.
The hosts would finish
the night with a modest six
hits - with Collins bashing
two of them - but a frustrating nine men left on base in
a losing effort.
The Derry contingent
placed itself right back on
the winning track this past
Sunday, July 4, by handing
the Hudson Legion bunch a
humbling 8-3 loss at Pinkerton. That win made manager Mullin’s squad 10-3 in
the competitive District B
standings one day after
Rochester moved to 9-3
with a decisive loss to
Londonderry in Londonderry.

Derry Junior Legion Crew Stages Stellar Comeback at Home
CHRIS PANTAZIS
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
Heading into its doubleheader against Contoocook
at Pinkerton Academy last
Saturday, July 13 the Derry
Junior American Legion
baseball squad was aiming
to shake off the frustration it
had picked up the night
before in an unsuccessful
twin-bill in the state capital.
Manager Jim DeBonis’
bunch desperately needed to
sweep the two games
against Contoocook to keep
its playoff hopes alive, but
the Derry team’s 10-6 and
11-4 losses to Concord the
evening before had them
rolling in the wrong direction with a 3-7 record.
But DeBonis’ boys did
wind up collecting wins in
both ends of the Saturday
twin-bill, with a 8-2 trouncing of the Contoocook crew
in game one and rebounding
from a number of significant
deficits to bag a 13-12 victory in game two, which had
to be seen to be believed.
In that second contest,
Derry stepped into the latter
half of the seventh and final
regulation inning trailing by
five big runs at 12-7. But the
hosts plated six runs on
seven hits in that half frame
to snag the 13-12 win.
“I’m very proud of these
kids,” said DeBonis. “They
came back from 12-7 and
chalked up another win that
we really needed.”
The now 5-7 Derry contingent put forth a dominant
performance in taking Saturday’s first game by the 8-2
tally.
Contoocook snared a 1-0
lead in the top half of the
third frame, but the hosts
rebounded for seven big
runs in the latter half of the
fourth inning, with Anthony
DeAngelis scoring two
markers with a single, Zach
Lippert plating two with a
double, and Ben Curry,
Chase Spears, and Matt
Tritto also driving home
runs in the frame.
Derry scored its eighth
and final run in the bottom

dramatic, double-header sweep of the Contoocook
crew in Derry last weekend. Photo by Chris Pantazis
of the sixth, and Contoocook’s comeback effort only
went as far as one more run
in the top of the seventh.
Chase Spears was a twoway powerhouse for the
Derry contingent, thumping
out three hits in his hitting
role and hurling a four-hitter
in his work as the hosts’
pitcher, striking out three
batters in a route-going performance.
Things started out badly
for Spears and the Derry
team in game two, with
Spears starting the contest as
the hosts’ center fielder and
re-injuring the collarbone he
broke last winter by falling
to the ground after making
the catch that ended the top
half of the first.
Derry snagged a 1-0 lead
in the bottom of the third
frame when Joe Murphy’s
double plated Lippert. But
Contoocook responded with
five runs in the top of the
fourth and three more in the
top of the fifth to snare a
commanding, 8-1 lead.
The hosts scored twice
in the bottom of the fifth
inning to make it an 8-3
game, but the visitors plated
three runs in the top of the
sixth to go back up by eight
runs at 11-3.
Derry made some serious inroads on a comeback
in the bottom of the sixth by
scoring four times on four
hits to make it an 11-7 game,
but the locals also left the
bases loaded. The home
team’s big hits in that fourrun inning included an RBI
double by Marc Reardon
and run-scoring singles from
Lippert and Murphy.
Contoocook got one of
the runs back in the top of
the seventh to make its lead
12-7, but Derry’s biggest
comeback push was yet to
come.
The locals just wore out
two opposing relief pitchers
in the big bottom half of the
seventh after having their
first two batters make outs.
DeBonis’ bunch plated
six runs on seven hits with
two outs and claimed the
walk-off win.
Curry brought the first of
the six runs in with an
infield hit, Eric Werner
scored two teammates with
a single, and Tritto, Caleb
Eaton, and Tom Olson all
followed with clutch, runscoring singles to get their
squad the victory.
The winning side finished with 14 hits - and
somehow survived eight
fielding errors - in bagging
the win. Lippert and
Murphy each collected three
hits and DeAngelis and
Reardon each had two for
Derry. Eaton snagged the
pitching win for the locals.
Ex-Astro Gridder Chris St. Onge to Play in 2013 Shrine Contest
CHRIS PANTAZIS
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
Recent Pinkerton Academy graduate Chris St.
Onge accomplished a considerable amount in several
years at quarterback and one
season as a running back for
the PA football squad.
And St. Onge will enjoy
the honor of officially concluding his high school gridiron career by being the
only Astro to take part in the
historic annual Shrine
Maple Sugar Bowl football
game early next month.
The 60th annual fundraising contest, which involves 72 graduated senior
all-stars from New Hampshire and Vermont, will be
played under lights for the
first time at 5:30 p.m. on
Saturday, Aug. 3, on Dartmouth College’s Memorial
Field in Hanover.
St. Onge met up with a
significant disappointment
FREE
just a few weeks ago after
being selected to play in the
Granite State’s East-West
All-Star Football Game at
the University of New Hampshire along with four other
recent Pinkerton grads, including his brother Matt. He
had to watch that contest
from the sidelines when
knee trouble kept him from
being able to suit up.

the second oldest of its kind
in the country and the third
largest overall, having raised
more than $5 million for the

Over 200 graduating
high school senior players
from New Hampshire and
Vermont were nominated by
their head coaches, and then
“screening” committees,”
chaired by the Shrine head
coaches, selected the two
teams. Practices begin for
both squads on Saturday,

Derry Village Third Grader Steps Up to Help Fight Cancer
PENNY WILLIAMS
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
A Derry Village Elementary School third grader saw
a need and stepped up to do
something to help.
In a neighborhood filled
with yard sales, the one at
Michelle and Michael Convey’s home stood out, not so
much for the items for sale
but because their young
daughter took advantage of
the event to find a way to do
something to help find a
cure for children’s cancer.
She used the July 13 yard
sale as a vehicle to raise
money for cancer research.
A year or so ago Sofie
Convey went to a movie
with her mother and saw a
little girl who was bald.
Sofie asked why, and her
mother told her that most
likely the little girl was taking medicine for cancer that
caused her hair to fall out.
Sofie was touched and
concerned and an idea began
to take shape in her mind.
She spent the next year
working on it.
“I thought if little girls
had no hair, at least they
could wear pretty earrings,
so I started making these
earrings,” she said. She sells
them for $2 each and said
she will donate all the
money earned to cancer
research.
At the yard sale, Sofie
Sofie Convey, 8, wanted to do something to help kids with
cancer and spent a year researching children’s cancer
and making earrings and feather pins to sell at her parents’ yard sale to raise money for cancer research.

also sold feather pins for 50 the same project. Her booth,
cents that she had made for set prominently in the mid-
dle of the family yard sale,
was decorated by a poster
Sofie had made with pictures and information on
children with cancer, and an
explanation of why she was
doing this project.
“I planned this all out
and put the information
about why I am doing this
on the poster so people
would know and like me,
think it would be really nice
to help kids with cancer to
have a cure found,” she said.
“I started making the earrings and feather pins last
year and doing the research.
I like to write so getting this
written and the pictures was
all for a good cause. I hope it
will really help.”
Her proud parents said
this was all Sofie’s idea and
all her work. Sofie said her
mother helped only with the
earring backs.
When the yard sale was
over, Sofie was surprised at
what she had accomplished.
“I thought I would make
$10,” she said. “But I made
$112.25. I didn’t think the
earrings were that pretty but
I guess they were.”
Sofie was excited to have
raised that much money for
cancer research, and her parents were thrilled at what
she accomplished and the
knowledge that through her
endeavor, she had learned
that people can make a difference.
Energy Advisory Committee Plans Town Council Visit
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
The Energy and Environmental Advisory Committee will step up its public
relations, with an eye to
making its expertise available to both the town and
private homeowners.
The Committee met Monday evening, and Maureen
Reno, chairman pro tem,
reviewed some of this past
year’s activities, including a
compost demonstration in
conjunction with Go Green
and sponsorship of the local
Junior Solar Sprint, a nationwide contest encouraging
children to work with solar
power. She thanked Tom
Minnon, a committee member who was instrumental in
both.
The committee also discussed its role in town and a
possible appearance before
the Derry Town Council.
Former chairman Tom Cardon, now a Town Councilor,
said the Council was planning several workshop sessions this fall.
Minnon suggested the
committee identify the types
It’s YOUR car,
YOUR choice of repair shops.

Family owned & operated for 30 years
of projects in which it wants
to be involved, including
new buildings, renovated
buildings and vehicle purchase.
Member Jonathan Keaney advised the group that it
would be best to make a
presentation around budget
time, so the group could
show the department heads
how energy-efficient models
could save them money. The
initial reaction, he noted, is
often that it can’t.
“The town says, ‘Here’s
your budget, hope you can
make it work,’” Keaney
said. “The department head
will say, ‘We can’t afford
this.’ And we say, ‘Yes, you
can.’”
Minnon said, “There is
an upfront cost, but they
need to know what they will
be saving on energy.”
Member Mark Flattes
told the group, “It would be
more efficient to sit down
with them in the workshop
format, rather than to
address this in a public
forum.”
Cardon and Reno advised doing a brief presentation in the next Council
meeting, Aug. 6, before
going in-depth in a workshop in the fall. “We could
have an introduction to the
committee, describe past
projects, and show them
how we can save the town
money,” Reno said.
Flattes also advised
against being aggressive, but
instead “showing the Council how we can assist them
in complying with the green
ordinance.”

The committee discussed its next television

do an informational session
on stormwater management.
Minnon volunteered to do
another “Energy Savings In

Derry Public Library. The
committee will hold a town

and Flattes is customizing

Department of Energy.
In other business:
• Reno, chair pro tem
since Cardon was elected to
the Town Council, was
elected chairman. Keaney
was elected secretary and
Flattes, vice-chair.
The Town Council established the committee in
August 2009 “for the purpose of serving as an advisory committee to the
Town Council, overseeing
the Green Vehicles/Green
Buildings Initiative as well
as educating and working
with residents; town business owners; and town staff,
committees and boards on
clean energy issues and
clean energy upgrades, jobs,
and policies as well as environmental concerns and
policies.”
The committee meets the
third Monday of each month
at 7 p.m. in the Municipal
Center. For more information,

Summer Lake Hosts Seek to Keep Beaver Lake Invasive Free
PENNY WILLIAMS
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
The Lake Host Program
at Beaver Lake is sponsored
by the New Hampshire
Lakes Association and is
geared to keep the lake
healthy and free of milfoil
and other exotic invasive
weeds.
The Lake Host Program
uses both paid and volunteer
staff, all trained to work at
the boat launch and inspect
boats before they enter the
water. The hosts hand out
information on invasives and
encourage boat owners to
conduct their own examinations of their vessels. When
the hosts are not inspecting a
boat, they often spend their
time identifying vegetation
that has been removed from
boats and making sure anything suspicious is brought
to the proper authority.
The Beaver Lake Improvement Association
(BLIA) has worked with the
state association in promoting the Lake Host Program
at Beaver Lake and it has
paid off. Beaver Lake is one
of the few lakes in the state
that is milfoil free. The
Derry Parks and Recreation
Department has partnered
with BLIA and trains its staff
in Lake Host techniques as
well, so any boats or kayaks
entering the lake at Gallien’s
Town Beach are carefully
checked as well.
In addition to what the
Town of Derry provides and
a grant from the state lakes
association, BLIA dues help
cover the cost of the Lake
Hosts by paying for an
approximately 50-hour week
for two college-age hosts,
Courtney Magoon and Cayla
Pellegrini. The balance of
the boat ramp coverage is
provided by volunteers.
Magoon, a sophomore
at the University of New
Hampshire, is in her first
year as Lake Host.
“I like it because it provides protection for the lake
and gives me the opportunity
to talk to people and inform
those who don’t know about
the dangers of the invasive
exotic weeds,” she said. “I
find it interesting that most
of the older fishermen know
about milfoil and the dangers
and take precautions, but
there are other people who
are not informed. I enjoy
explaining the policy and
telling them what to look for
and how to take care of their
own boats by inspecting it.”
The BLIA provides the
training, materials, and a
Lake Host shirt.
Magoon said she and
Pellegrini do six-hour shifts
during the week and fourhour shifts on weekends.
Volunteers provide the rest
of the Lake Host program
coverage, and more are
needed to provide two hours
per week at the boat ramp.
BLIA president Paula
Frank said she considers this
volunteer opportunity a great
way to build community Courtney Magoon, a Derry resident and a sophomore
while having fun and pro- at UNH, is pictured during a rain shower on her shift as

Sonshine Soup Kitchen Continues Campaign for New Home
PENNY WILLIAMS
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
The Sonshine Soup
Kitchen’s “Build to Feed”
campaign continues. In
early April, the phase 1
fundraising effort reached its
goal of $50,000.
Sonshine Soup Kitchen
Director Cynthia Dwyer
said, “The community support for this part was
astounding. This sum was
raised in just 50 days. The
second part of this first
phase is acquiring a site.”
This is proving to be a
more difficult task, but
Dwyer said progress is
being made. The goal is to
find a site within walking
distance of the kitchen’s
present downtown location
on Crystal Avenue. However, the kitchen has been
given a one-year extension
for the matching funds to
meet this aspect of their
campaign.
In the meantime the
board continues to actively
pursue funding. It is also
looking for volunteer help
with fundraising from anyone with fundraising experience and expertise.
Brittany Duperon has
been hired by Sonshine as
office assistant. And changes on the board include
Richard Cardner, leaving
after 11 years, and the addition of board members
Brenda Bach of Windham,
Gail Colglazier of Londonderry, Janice Mobsby of
Derry, and Greg Smith of
Chester.
A significant change in
the menu was made possible
by a grant from the Alexander Eastman Foundation,
which provides the means to
offer fresh fruit and vegetables at meals as well as for
guests to take home.
And as always, the
kitchen invites donations of
the following items: pickle
spears, parmesan cheese,
cold cereal with low or no
sugar, regular coffee, green
or black pitted olives, bread
crumbs, ketchup, salad dressing, canned beef broth,
chowder, cream soups,
hearty soups, canned pears or
peaches or pineapple, applesauce, fruit cocktail, and
canned beets, carrots, corn,
mixed vegetables and peas.
In addition to food donations, the soup kitchen is also
in need of men’s, women’s

Teen Safety Alliance Honors Local Eighth Graders
PENNY WILLIAMS
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
The Community Alliance for Teen Safety – better known as CATS – recognized eighth graders from
West Running Brook and
Gilbert H. Hood middle
schools in Derry, Hampstead Middle School and
Chester Academy at promotion ceremonies this June.
CATS Director Sue
Centner said, “The Community Alliance for Teen Safety
was pleased to recognize six
eighth graders from local
middle schools with special
awards at their recent graduation ceremonies. This is the
second year for the awards.
CATS is an organization
dedicated to encouraging
and finding ways to enhance
teen safety. “Life in the
Right Direction” is the organization’s mantra, and its
mission is to promote safe
habits for all youth by
increasing awareness of
high-risk behaviors, encouraging healthy choices, and
fostering community alliances in the Greater Derry
region of Rockingham
County.
The awards went to Hannah Rogers of Hampstead
Middle School, presented by
Board member Frank LeBlanc; Alexis Reishus of
Chester Academy, presented
by Board member Kim Kilpatrick; Delaney Conway
and Victoria William of
Gilbert H. Hood, presented
by Frank LeBlanc and Centner; and Anthony Tsekrekas
and Abigail Robinson of
West Running Brook, presented by LeBlanc and
Centner.
The awards were given
in memory of two CATS
board members, Dale Childs
of Atkinson and John Gleason of Derry, who died in
2011. Both were involved in
promoting safe behaviors
for teens and their families,
and cared deeply about the
towns in which they lived
and the communities they
served.
Gleason, a founding
member of CATS in 1996,
was a State Representative
for Derry for 14 years. He
had served on the Derry
School Board and on the
Board of Selectmen, Plan-
ning Board and Water Board.
In 2005 Derry awarded
Gleason the Derry Living
Treasure Award for dedicated service to the town.
Childs, who worked with
Hampstead Middle School,
was a CATS board member
and worked as a resource
officer with middle school
students. She also worked as
an animal control officer and
juvenile officer for the
Atkinson and Hampstead
Police Departments, as well
as serving the town on the
Budget Committee, Highway Safety Committee and
Trustee of the Trust Funds.
Centner said each middle
school selected a student who
personified the traits valued
by Gleason, Childs, and
CATS, including volunteer
service, a good scholastic
record, extracurricular participation, and leadership qualities. Each chosen student
received a certificate of recognition and a $100 gift card.
M. Kathryn McCarroll,
CATS Board President, said,
“John and Dale gave so
much to the community that
it was important to reflect
their values in the award.”

Gardening Books Donated in Memory of Carl Daily
PENNY WILLIAMS
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
The Derry Garden Club
is honoring the memory of a
long time friend and member of the club, Carl Daily,
by donating books to the
Taylor Library in East
Derry.
The books selected by
the Garden Club members
are “The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Trees” and
“Beginners Guide to Growing Heirloom Vegetables.”
Corinne Safron explained why these volumes
were chosen.
She said Daily grew up
on a Nebraska farm and had
a lifelong love of the land
and everything that grows.
He and his wife, Mary Lea
Daily, also a Derry Garden
Club member and former
State Garden Club president, and their children
moved to Derry in 1968.
Mary Lea Daily joined
the Garden Club in 1969 and
Carl Daily joined in 2000.
But before he officially
joined the club, he was
active in support of it and
often shared his knowledge
of growing things and gardening. One standout program he gave, Safron said,
dealt with composting.
He annually experimented with planting an unusual
vegetable in his garden to
see if he could grow it.
Safron noted that one year
he won a blue ribbon for the
leeks he grew in his garden.
In the larger community,
Daily and son Rodney were
guardians of the large maple
tree at the Robert Frost
Farm. When it was cut
down, Rodney and his son
Matt produced bowls and
maple leaves from the wood,
which they shared with local
artisans.
The Derry Garden Club
was represented at the donation by Safron, Mary Lea
Daily, Pat Hume, and
Blanche Garone. They presented the two volumes to
Taylor Library Director
Linda Merrill, who said the
books were a lovely addition
to the library’s collection on
gardening and the environment.
The Derry Garden Club donated two volumes to the Taylor Library in memory of
member and long time friend of the club Carl Daily. Pictured at the donation ceremony are Garden Club members from left, Blanche Garone, Pat Hume, Mary Lea
Daily, Library Director Linda Merrill and Corrine Safron. Photo by Penny Williams

Derry Police Capt. Vern

happened three times,
Thomas said. “She used

When Benson called for
a motion to adjourn, Dimmock said, “You said what
you had to say. You have no
right to shut me up.”
Fairbanks tried to calm
them, saying several times,
“That’s enough.”
“You don’t need to shout

said.
Dimmock responded,
“You’re not the man you
think you are.”
“That’s a real educated
and mature statement,” Benson said before leaving with
Wetherbee.
Osborne made a second
motion to adjourn, and Tom
Cardon seconded it. The
remaining Councilors voted
unanimously to adjourn.
“I was surprised,”
Osborne said in a phone
interview after the meeting.
He said he was first surprised at the reaction to his
proposal. Councilors need
tough skins, he said, noting,
“We can’t say something
and be shocked when someone has the gall to get up
and respond.”
Osborne said he had
been researching the issue
and learned that, “Once you

made by the majority of the
people, he said, adding,
“And if you’re in the minority, too bad.”
Wetherbee also told
Osborne, “This is not a
courtroom.”
Osborne said he had
been doing research on
what’s allowed in a public
forum. There are two
recent cases that have equal
weight in the legal community, he said. In one case it
was decided that the Town
Council had the right to step
in and interfere or stop the
content of a speech; in the
other, it does not. He leans
toward the latter, he said,
adding, “I don’t want us to
be accused of trying to shut
down the First Amendment.”
But Councilor Brad Benson had a different philosophy of the Council and public participation. “This is a
business meeting,” he said.
“It’s not a public meeting.
We let them speak at our discretion.”
Benson didn’t have a
high opinion of some of the
content, noting, “People do
not tell the truth - it’s what
they interpret it to be. Once
it’s out there, people believe
it.” That hurts the community and the Council’s credibility, he said.
Also, he said, the guests

Macero was released on
$1,500 cash bail, with a
court date of Aug. 22.
In addition Dwayne
Gousby, 43,of 26 Elm St.
#4, was charged with resisting arrest. He was released
on $2,000 personal recognizance bail, with a court date
of Aug. 15. Four of the
juveniles were also arrested.

agree to have a public
forum, you cannot control
the content.”
But he was shocked at
how quickly the meeting
went downhill.
Osborne said when Benson and Wetherbee left, “It
occurred to me that they were
strangers to the way to behave
in a professional setting.”
To Wetherbee’s charge
that “this is not a court of
law,” Osborne observed that
“A judge would have held
them in contempt for the
way they behaved.”
But Wetherbee contended that he and Benson were
treated rudely. In a phone
interview he said, “Brad
made the motion to adjourn,
and I seconded it. The chair-
Chelsea Celeste, 21, of 5
Dustin Ave. was arrested
after police investigated an
incident June 18 in which a
homeowner reported a theft
of jewelry. The person was
a relative of Celeste’s.
“We checked on a data
base, and found a number of
items matching the missing
jewelry that were found at a
pawn shop,” Derry Police
Capt. Vern Thomas said.
She was taken to the
Rockingham County House
of Correction, where bail
was set at $5,000 personal
recognizance. A court date
of Oct. 1 was set.
man did not acknowledge it.”
In his opinion, Wetherbee said, “Al Dimmock was
making what I considered
threatening statements. I
felt threatened.”
Combined with Benson’s motion being ignored,
Wetherbee said, “I decided it
was time to go.”
Wetherbee has been on
the Council for six years, he
said, and this is the first time
he’s walked out of a meeting.
For his part, Dimmock
said he felt like he was being
silenced. “You don’t tell me
to shut up,” he said in a
phone interview after the
meeting. “Legally, I have the
right to speak.”
Benson did not return
calls for comment.
