FREE HOMETOWN NEWS DELIVERED TO EVERY HOME IN TOWN June 19, 2014 ◆ Volume 15 – Issue 25 A FREE Weekly Publication Auditorium Design Discussed at Londonderry Planning Board JAY HOBSON LONDONDERRY TIMES ————––––––————–◆ uditorium Committee Chairman Tony DeFrancesco told the Planning Board last week that the facility would be more than a school building - it was to be a community building as well. The committee was commissioned by the Londonderry School Board in October 2013, he told the board at its Wednesday, June 11 meeting. “The charge of the committee was to investigate the possibility of putting an auditorium on the high school campus,” he said. “We were asked to identify if there is a need, where would the building go, what size would be appro- A priate and the elephant in the room, how much would it cost.” DeFrancesco said the committee’s plan is to have a final report ready for the school board at its Aug. 26 meeting. “Once the report is presented, it’s important to note that it’s the school board that at that time will make the decision to move forward or not,” he explained. “There is currently no building being built.” He noted that the committee is made up of town employees, school employees, members of service clubs as well as school staff. “The committee so far sees that there is a need, but it needs to be a com- munity auditorium, not just a school auditorium,” he said. “That is an important distinction to make because there are a lot of auditoriums on school properties that are not community auditoriums. Our goal is to work towards a report that provides an auditorium that is reasonably priced and properly sized, that works for the school, taxpayers and the entire community of Londonderry.” DeFrancesco added that an auditorium is included in the Master Plan and the Town Manager is “tasked with doing something with it.” Town Manager Kevin Smith is a member of the auditorium committee. continued on page 17 ◆ ◆ Murray's Auto Recycling Given 60-Day License Extension Nora Lane and Vanessa Lantagne admire their dipomas shortly after receiving them with their 2014 classmates on Friday night at the Verizon Wireless Arena.

The junkyard is on Hall Road. She said she understood that a court order was involved, and said there "were some new ideas floated by my client." The Council instructed Panciocco that during the extension, all of the conditions of the license would remain in effect, not just the court order A requiring there be no equipment outside the fence, but also the hours of operation of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and no late deliveries. In addition, all crushed vehicles must be stored lower than the fence and therefore not visible from the road. The consensus of the Council present - Tom Freda, John Farrell and Chairman Tom Dolan was in favor, with Joe Green opposed. Building Inspector Richard Canuel said he had investigated a number of complaints against Murray's. "It has come down to three determining factors regarding non-compliance with conditions of the license," Canuel said. "One of them has to do with stacking vehicles above the fence, which was a matter of contention during last year's hearings as well. Another is the hours of operation, and the third is with the parking of equipment in continued on page 9 PRESORTED STANDARD US POSTAGE PAID LONDONDERRY, NH 03053 Permit #57 ECRWSS POSTAL PATRON LONDONDERRY, NH 03053 ◆ PAGE 2 L ONDONDERRY T IMES ◆ J UNE 19, 2014 Planning Board Gets Master Plan Committee Update JAY HOBSON LONDONDERRY TIMES ————––––––————–◆ lanning Board member Chris Davies, who is also chairman of the Master Plan Implementation Committee, reviewed discussions of the Town Forest and Town Common last week. Davies told the board at its Wednesday, June 11 meeting that in the committee’s most recent meeting, there was a “fairly significant discussion” about the Town Common and Town Forest, as previously reported in the Londonderry Times. He said a miscommunication led to not televising the meeting. Davies said the discus- P sion centered around what to do with the Town Forest. He said Town Manager Kevin Smith asked the committee its recommendation, and member Ann Chiampa suggested making it more accessible with a hiking path. “It’s a resource that should be accessible, and discussions are going on with some of the other boards and Trailways around what could be done there to improve that area,” Davies said. Board member Maria Newman said that one thing a lot of people would like to see would be an ice skating rink that would be visible from the road. “It makes a lot of sense, especially where we live in New England,” Newman said. Davies said that idea was discussed and noted that several years ago, in talks about what to do with the Town Common, a plan for a temporary skating rink in that area or adjacent to it was suggested. Board member Al Sypek asked if there were any solutions to the parking problem. “No solutions, but there was going to be a need to have solutions,” Davies said. “It’s pretty pointless to have nice, accessible improvements to the Town Forest and BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!

Davies said they weren’t going to be able to solve the Old Home Day parking issue, but acknowledged a need to improve parking for normal daily use of the Town Forest and Town Common. “There was a plan for an improved parking but there was an issue with line of sight,” Davies said. Davies added that Comprehensive Planner John Vogl had put together a spreadsheet with a list of recommendations for the implementation committee, with the committee looking at how to measure the recommendations’ achievement. “By far and away the most significant recommendations are impacted by what’s going to come out of the zoning audit and subsequently the changes that might get made when staff and the consultants work on retooling the zoning regulations, “ he said. Davies said that work would have a “significant impact” on a lot of items in the Master Plan to make them achievable. Davies added the committee is looking to the Planning Board to enable the Master Plan. ◆ ◆ Full Slate of Candidates JAY HOBSON LONDONDERRY TIMES ————––––––————–◆ ith the state primary election arriving Sept. 9, 10 Republican candidates will be vying for the seven state representative seats for Londonderry. Seven Democrats will be seeking those seats as well, and the top seven in each party will face each other in November. The Republican candidates are: Al Baldasaro, Deirdre Carson, Dana Coons, Roger Fillio, Robert Introne, David Lund- W gren, Betsy McKinney, Sherman Packard, Daniel Tamburello and Doug Thomas The Democratic candidates are: Lisa Whittemore, Ted Combes, Denise Grady, Gary Vermillion, Paul Skudlarek, Robin Skudlarek and Tammy Siekmann. Grady had not filed her paperwork by the June 13 deadline but according to Londonderry Democratic Chairman Tammy Siekmann, she had three days to file with the Secretary of State’s office. The State Senate race originally saw incumbent Sharon Carson and Ted Siska, both of Londonderry, filing as Republicans. However, according to the Secretary of State’s Office web site, the candidacy of Ted Siska for State Senator was withdrawn by the Secretary of State’s office because Siska was not a registered Republican when he filed his paperwork. Filing for State Senate as a Democrat is Kate Messner of Hudson. The State Senate Seat for District 14 encompasses Londonderry and Hudson. Do You Have the Right Plan?

The private road must then be extended to connect to Perkins Road, with at least a binder course of pavement and associated drainage in place. Wallace Farm will have 120 units as workforce rental housing. A Conditional Use Permit also was unanimously granted to begin the project within the Conservation Overlay District (COD) and encroach on 44,320 square feet of COD buffer. A second Conditional Use Permit was unanimously granted to T allow multifamily workforce housing. Finally, the board unanimously conditionally approved the site plan for Wallace Farm. Assistant Director of Public Works John Trottier said the project requires the construction of a booster pump station associated with some of the lots. He said the state Department of Transportation was in agreement with the plan for a traffic island that would force traffic to take a right-hand turn onto Route 28. Trottier said the island and right-turn only would be wide enough for any tractor trailer leaving the Sleep Inn on Perkins Road to be able to make the turn onto Route 28 and access Interstate 93 at Exit 5. He said staff approved of the design. Trottier said staff recommended granting a waiver allowing the cul- de-sacs, as they would be temporary. Town Planner Cynthia May said the Conditional Use Plan for the buffer encroachment to the Conservation Overlay District was looked at by the Conservation Commission, which recommended approval with conditions that any mitigation be performed with the state Department of Environmental Services and that signage pointing out the COD be in sufficient numbers as to be visible from any angle. Board member Chris Davies said some “folks” had raised questions about the developer’s future plans to build over age 55restricted housing on adjacent property and whether there would be sufficient screening from the road. Attorney Thomas “Jay” Leonard said they hadn’t formulated any formal plans for that development but it would be screened from the road. Board member Mary Wing Soares said she was happy the entrance to the property was opposite another road, not a private driveway. Board member Lynn Wiles said he wanted to make sure there were regulations in place that would ensure affordability. “Is there anything the town has to do to get ready for workforce housing?” Wiles asked. Leonard said the requirements for workforce housing would be registered with the state Registry of Deeds. Board member Laura El-Azem asked how applicants would be screened regarding income. Leonard said that they use federal HUD (Housing and Urban Development) criteria and tenancy is based on tax returns. “I guess there’s really nothing you can do to prevent abuses,” El-Azem said. Board member Maria Newman asked if there would be a waiting list and Leonard said it would be first come, first served. Newman asked what the maximum income level was to qualify for workforce housing and Leonard said it varies. “Rents can go up or they can go down but it is based on 60 percent of the median income for the region, and the target is for a family of three,” Leonard said. May said there had been a question raised at the last meeting about a bus stop shelter. She said there wasn’t enough room for a shelter and that kids would be picked up as others were on Perkins Road, as buses don’t go down cul-de-sacs or private roads. She said the sidewalk would be wider to accommodate the students and added that it would be plowed.

Unfortunately, in some races this year the collection of candidates casting their hats in the ring is surprisingly small. In some cases, not enough candidates have filed to fill all the open seats. In other cases, just enough have filed, which means there is no choice for voters until the November election pits Republicans against Democrats. To us it reads turning away from a challenge. In a state that prides itself on a citizen legislature and the ability of each resident to have a say in government, fewer and fewer are bothering to seek office, even as fewer and fewer of the rest of us bother to cast ballots. It makes one wonder whether democracy is going the way of the dinosaur. Now the question is: how to decide who are the best candidates, the ones deserving of your vote? Disregarding those who vote for people because they’re friends or they’ve heard the name before - neither of which is a particularly good reason, what’s the best way to choose a candidate to represent your interests in Concord? Will the candidate vote the party line, regardless of what constituents want, or will he or she vote his or her own particular beliefs, again regardless of the desire of residents. Will candidates hold forums to debate each other? Not that we’ve heard. Some will speak at political party meetings, some will visit clubs and social gatherings, but when will the real issues be debated? Such as how to pay for infrastructure that is failing? How to keep from putting more and more of a burden on the local property tax by downshifting costs? Why is casino gambling not appropriate for New Hampshire, disregarding the many New Hampshire residents who flock to spend their money at casinos in neighboring states. And most importantly - and the hardest to discern - how do candidates propose to cut through the platitudes and generalities and official party lines and express their real beliefs? Or will that never happen? Listen to and read everything a candidate says. Ask him or her questions. If the answer says nothing, confront them and ask it again. How will you decide who gets your vote? You’ve got your work cut out for you. The Londonderry Times is a weekly publication.

Hidden Gem To the editor: When my family and I moved to Londonderry in 1971 in order to begin our dental practice, we fund a rather small, sleepy country town. As the years have quickly passed, the town has grown exponentially, and along with this growth there has been the expected increase in things to both see and do. Please allow me to share with your readers an interesting Londonderry “bright spot,” which may have remained unseen by many. This oftunobserved “jewel” is the New Hampshire Aviation Museum, located in town on Navigator Road at the Manchester Airport. Built around the original control tower (constructed in the 1930s), it features New Hampshire’s role in aviation, both in World War II and peacetime. I found my visit to be both fascinating and educational, and wanted to take the opportunity to share this experience with other “townies.” See this gem for yourselves!

Jack Shuler, DDS Londonderry –––––––––––––––––– Vetting Innis To the editor: As another election season begins, it is important for us as leaders within the Republican Party to vet our Party’s candidates to make sure that the people we put forth will represent conservative, limited govern- ment principals. As the First-In-theNation Primary State we take this responsibility seriously; conservatives everywhere rely on us to make sure our candidates are strong. We also have that responsibility for our local candidates, from State government, to Congress to Senate and Governor. Here in the First Congressional District we must take a second look at UNH Professor Dan Innis. Professor Innis is running in the Republican Primary for Congress but his lack of conservative credentials gives pause for concern. We have had six years of President Obama, whose intentions are judged more frequently than the result of the legislation he favors or the actual results of his policies. Professor Innis must be judged on his record, not his words. Professor Innis was a registered Democrat through the 2012 election, pulling Democratic ballots in both the 2012 State Primary and 2008 Presidential Primary. Which begs the question, who did Dan Innis support for President in 2008: President Obama or Hillary Clinton? Having voted Democrat for President, he likely voted for Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter too. Only when he decided to run for Congress did he change his party affiliation to Republican. In 2012, when you and I were working hard to defeat President Obama and campaigning to elect conservatives, Dan Innis was working against us. Professor Innis voluntarily donated $500 to Jackie Cilley for Governor in 2012. Yes, the same Jackie Cilley who was found to be to the left of the Democratic Party in New Hampshire! The same Jackie Cilley who was the only candidate for Governor to support an income and broad based sales tax for our state. And the same Jackie Cilley who went to work for Congresswoman Carol SheaPorter after her own campaign failed. Even as he claims to be a Republican now, the limited positions he has taken would make even the most moderate Republican cringe. He is the only Republican candidate for Congress in New Hampshire who believes that we should raise the debt ceiling without any spending cuts. In fact, he demands we eliminate the debt ceiling, removing any breaks from the runaway spending train that is Washington, D.C. We expect this from Senator Shaheen, Congresswoman Kuster and Congresswoman SheaPorter. But someone running for the GOP nomination? As you continue to meet and vet candidates for office at local GOP events, I encourage you to ask Mr. Innis about his past support of liberal Democrats and his ability to represent our conservative values.

This is in line with all the communities I’ve ever worked in,” May said. She said the new policy would eliminate the requirement of the planning board to hold additional meetings to author- ◆ ize final approval. She suggested that it be the chairman and secretary or their designees who do the signing, and said she had not yet showed the proposal to the town’s attorney. “Do other towns find then that most developers come in between meetings to have plans signed as a common thing?” El-Azem said. “That is how it’s done,” May responded. “When the plans are ready, staff says, ‘OK, your plans are ready,’ we tag them and lay them out. It was easier in Bedford because two of the planning board members actually worked in the building, so I would generally get them unless they weren’t at the meeting, then I would reach out to the chair next and then just go down the list.” May said one of the hardest hurdles that developers go through designees. “All the more reason to leave it the way it is in your rules of procedure,” May said. “So it sounds like I should make the rules of procedure consistent with the regulation and periodically when you elect the chair and vice chair, then the designees would be chosen at that time,” May said. May said the only people who can’t sign plans are the alternates.

When she closed her eyes, she felt a gentle touch and someone said, “tag, you’re it.” “I have found this to be a metaphor for my real life experiences,” Litch said. She said that when she was young she would chase the water as it receded to the sea and would run back as a new wave approached. “Curiosity and exploration lead me to an enjoyable new experience,” Litch said. On a family outing to Texas, she and her family went tubing and she was caught upside down in the water with her tube; she learned to hold on and to hold her breath under water. Years later she was on another outing where she and her father went on a swing that lifted them Dakota Hayes sports a pair of 2014 glasses as he and his classmates file out of the Verizon Wireless Arena. hundreds of feet in the air before going into free fall. “Side by side we were pulled up and up and up. Totally unexpected, we pulled the cord and we began to free fall. As the air rushed by, all I heard was a high pitched little girl scream. To my shock it wasn’t my own, but my dad’s,” Litch said. The moral of her story, she said, is to look back at obstacles with “the same child-like ferocity you used when you were little. “Experience life to the fullest, and finally persevere through all your difficult times because you never know where that final door my lead you,” Litch said. “We are leaving Lancer Nation; surely every student on this floor knows what that means,” Class President Michael Bolduc said. “Lancer Nation is a frame of mind, hundreds of students, boys and girls donating their hair to make wigs for people in need.

Virgin asked custodian Ira Cohen for boxes to store pens, pencils, binders, calculators and small supplies, Virgin said. Macneil said the students made up fliers to put in classrooms and hallways. Fish said the students made daily announcements, each taking a turn reading: “We are the sixth grade Supply Savers, working hard to recycle and to provide school supplies to kids who need them next year. Two ◆ boxes are now in each team. A large cardboard box is for your binders, backpacks and gym bags. The smaller blue container is for small supplies such as pens, calculators, highlighters in good condition which you do not want any more. Thank you for helping our school.” The students put boxes in each team’s classrooms to house the donations. Cohen said there had been several meetings to plan what the students would be doing and how the donations were to be collected. “This is their idea and they collected two large boxes of binders and other supplies,” he said. “This was a teachable exercise that will not only help future students with supplies, but also helped the students with their communication skills,” Marston said. ◆ Musquash Target Shooting Discussion is Delayed JAY HOBSON LONDONDERRY TIMES ————––––––————–◆ discussion scheduled Monday night on target shooting in the Musquash has been postponed.

I want to assure the public that the Town Council is looking into this matter as to what pol- A icy if any we should enact to deal with this issue. We have taken some preliminary steps to investigate what our legal authorities are, and what our sister towns/communities have done to deal with this issue. “Normally, we bring a new ordinance to the public with a first reading, which serves as notice for a public hearing to be held, usually with the next regular meeting,” he added. “However, we will treat this topic slightly differently.

According to Cindy Carrier of the Health Service Planning and Review Board, “the board will vote it up or down at the meeting on whether or not the application has been approved and they can go ahead to build that and operationalize it or not.” Carrier said that the meeting is open and the public and other institutions can have input. “Nobody as yet has asked whether or not to be an intervener for adding input to the meet- A ing,” Carrier said Monday, the deadline to make such a request. The meeting will be held at 9:30 a.m. at the New Hampshire Hospital Association, 125 Airport Road, Concord. Carrier said that she couldn’t speak to the merits of the application specifically because the review process was ongoing. “The criteria is set by regulation,” she explained. “The applicant submits their application and answers a series of questions, and we evaluate that based upon their responses and the material they submitted. There are a host of questions consisting of 100 pages or something. It’s very involved.” According to the board’s website, the proposed project has a cost 603-235-5200 www.naturespridelandscaping.com A Full Service Landscaping Company NOW BOOKING...

The board regulates the Certificate of Need Program. “The Certificate of Need Program is a state program that is the final authority on specific entity construction and renovation projects that are related to healthcare entities like nursing homes or hospitals and ambulatory surgery facilities,” Carrier said. “If a hospital is looking to add a wing, there is a financial aspect to the statute, they need ap- proval of the board, permission of the board to go ahead with that project. They don’t get to construct it and then get it licensed,” she said. Carrier said the program had its roots in the federal government in the early ‘70s to prevent excessive spending and duplication of services. “The state continued the program as sort of gate keepers for these types of projects,” Carrier said. ◆ ◆ Impact Fee Refunds Announced JAY HOBSON LONDONDERRY TIMES ————––––––————–◆ ondonderry Finance Director Sue Hickey advised the Town Council Monday night that impact fee refunds she is required to announce every six months, in December and June, totaled $18, 552.63. That sum includes $178.21 in interest as of June 30. She said that in December there will be $61,217.35 in expired fees. Hickey noted that there are no impact fees currently being charged. The impact fee refunds are from fees that were collected but not used for their designated purpose over a six-year period. In that circumstance, the L town is required to refund the fees. Councilor Tom Freda asked if Hickey was able to contact everyone due for a refund. She said she could not do so. “There are some people that are no longer able to be receiving their mail because they are incarcerated or for other reasons,” Hickey said. When that happens, the check is returned to the town, which holds on to it. “We will put an ad in the newspaper asking someone to come forward and claim it and if not, the state will be notified of it as unclaimed property and we hold on to it,” Hickey said. Council Chairman Tom Dolan asked for assurance that the money was in reserve and Hickey said it is. The Council voted to disburse the money. In other business: • Hickey informed the Council of the yearly receipt of money and donated equipment by the town, totaling $343,391.94. Freda asked if the Local Government Center money received included the employee amount and Hickey said it was the employer amount only. Freda also asked if money received from the fire department account went to the fire department. Hickey said it went to the General Fund. • A discussion sched- uled on the agenda on nepotism and conflicts of interest was postponed until the next meeting by request of Councilor John Farrell. • An ordinance regarding the town’s providing civil marriages for a fee of $50 was passed unanimously. • The Council unanimously voted to appoint Art Rugg, Sharon Carson and Deb Lievens to the Southern New Hampshire Planning Commission, each for a four-year term, and to appoint Nancy Michels and Art Rugg to the CART (Cooperative Alliance for Regional Transportation) board of directors. ◆ L O N D O N D E R RY T I M E S Murray’s Continued from page 1 the front lot."

All of the issues had been brought to Dudek's attention during the past year, Canuel said. Freda asked Canuel if complaints were enough to issue a citation or if Canuel had to see the violation himself, and Canuel said he or a police officer or some other credible person had to see a violation. "What the complaint does is start an investigation, and a determination is made from that," Canuel explained. Resident Richard Bielinski said he had been complaining about the parking in front of the business for years. He produced a photograph that he said was taken that day, which shows the tops of vehicles visible above the top of the entrance gate, and a flatbed truck parked in the front lot.

In other business, lic- ense renewals were granted to two other junkyards - Londonderry Salvage and S&S Metals.

Initial reports from 911 indicated a single car into a tree with three entrapped occupants,” Cardwell said.

Rectal cancer is cancer of the last several inches of the colon. Together, they're often referred to as colorectal cancers. Most cases of colon cancer begin as small, non-cancerous (benign) clumps of cells called adenomatous polyps. Over time some of these polyps become colon cancers. Polyps may be small and produce few, if any, symptoms. For this reason, doctors recommend regular screening tests to help prevent colon cancer by identifying polyps before they become colon cancer. colonoscopy has gotten the most attention in recent years. There are also blood test, although, there is not blood test to confirm colon cancer. A barium enema allows doctors to create a clear silhouette of your rectum, colon and sometimes a small portion or your small intestine. It is important if you suspect that you have any issues to consult with your doctor to catch this early. As a Family Practitioner for over 20 years in Southern New Hampshire, I have treated new borns to individuals in their GoldenYears. My staff and I believe that prevention is the best cure. And we like to do it the oldfashioned way,by listening and caring for each patient as if they were our own family. At the same time, we do not ignore the innovations that are taking place in medicine and participate in the EPIC electronic medical records in conjunction with the Elliot Hospital. Signs and symptoms of colon cancer include: a change in your bowel habits, including diarrhea or constipation or a change in the consistency of your stool for more than a couple of weeks; rectal bleeding or blood in your stool; persistent abdominal discomfort, such as cramps, gas or pain; a feeling that your bowel doesn't empty completely; Our practice is located at theTower Hill Professional Park at weakness or fatigue; or unexplained weight loss. 182 Rockingham Road,Suite 9,Londonderry,convenientMany people with colon cancer experience no symptoms in the early stages of the disease.When symptoms appear, they'll likely vary, depending on the cancer's size and location in your large intestine. It's not clear what causes colon cancer in most cases. Doctors know that colon cancer occurs when healthy cells in the colon become altered. Healthy cells grow and divide in an orderly way to keep your body functioning normally. But sometimes this growth gets out of control. Cells continue dividing even when new cells aren't needed. In the colon and rectum, this exaggerated growth may cause precancerous cells to form in the lining of your intestine. Over a long period of time, spanning up to several years, some of these areas of abnormal cells may become cancerous.

Paramedics from Londonderry rendered patient care during the extrication.” Cardwell said a landing zone for DHART was established at South School by a Windham Fire Department Engine company. “Personnel from the DHART air ambulance were then transported from the landing zone to the scene, as extrication continued,” Cardwell said. “The occupant was extri- cated approximately 50 minutes after initiation of rescue work and was then transported along with DHART personnel to the waiting helicopter, and ultimately flown to Tufts Medical Center in Boston.” Station coverage was provided by Litchfield.

The work began at 5:30 in the morning so it T wouldn’t affect the Library’s opening and one thing led to another and it wasn’t finished until noon.” Cotton said it was unclear where the leak originated but with the Sheetrock removed and a new suspended ceiling installed, he will be able to “get my head up there and see where any water is coming from, should it leak again.” Cotton said that the repair cost about $1,600 and because of the loca- tion of the work, the foyer and the doors had to remain closed. “Given the location, we couldn’t have people coming in and out, so we tried to get it done before the library opened, but it just didn’t work out that way,” Cotton said. While Cotton said he did not know where the leak originated, he said the area was not part of the previous roof repairs.

And that was precisely what the fifth-seeded Lancers accomplished at the Queen City stadium last Saturday, June 14, by handing the rival, thirdseeded Pinkerton Academy Astros a 4-1 defeat on a magnificent day for baseball. Coach Brent Demas led his Lancers to a third state championship under his tutelage, and this win was powered by the strong pitching of recently-graduated senior Tommy Corey and an eight-hit offensive attack. Londonderry plated two runs in the top of the third inning and two more in the fourth to hand standout hurler Corey a nice advantage with which to work. Pinkerton didn’t claim a hit off the S lanky right-hander until the latter half of the fourth inning, and the Astros notched their lone run in the bottom half of the sixth frame. Pinkerton’s coach Steve Campo - himself a former Londonderry High baseball player - had his team finish up with five hits off Corey, who collected seven strikeouts and didn’t walk anybody. “All of the guys worked really hard all season to get here, and I just had to go out and give it my best,” said Corey, who will attend Franklin Pierce University in the fall. The Londonderry High baseball program collected Class I baseball crowns in both 1982 and 1983 under coach Mike Usenia, Class L titles under Demas in 2004 and 2010, and now a D-I championship under Demas this year. “This is just a phenomenal group of guys,” said Demas. “We prepared hard coming in, they were ready, and all the hard work paid off.” The talented, evenlymatched LHS and Pinkerton baseball squads faced off twice during the 2014 regular season, with each side collecting a 4-2 victo- 603.425.5108 603-425-5109 WHO SAYS THERE’S NO FREE LUNCH? Buy 6 Meals Get 1 Free (Lunch Only) ry. So it was anybody’s guess whether the Lancers or Astros would claim the D-I title in meeting number three of the spring. Londonderry scored the two runs it would end up needing to win the title contest in the top half of the third inning when it touched up Pinkerton starting pitcher Connor Donahue for three hits. Number nine batter Ben Byerly started the run with a stinging leadoff triple, and he scored with one man out a few minutes later when Jimmy Zimolka rapped an RBI single. A moment after that, 2014 New Hampshire Gatorade Player of the Year Rob Del Signore launched a long double to center field to plate Zimolka and make it a 2-0 contest. Demas’ dudes doubled their lead in the top of the fourth inning with three more hits, but they also ended up leaving the bases filled. Byerly bashed a runscoring single in the frame, and the second Lancer marker crossed the plate on a fielders’ choice off the bat of Zimolka. Londonderry also knocked Pinkerton starter Donahue out of the game in that frame, but reliever John Polichetti managed to strand three LHS runners on the bases and keep his team’s deficit at 4-0. The PA crew ended LHS’s shutout hopes in the bottom of the sixth when Nate Rossi smacked a one-out double and Chris Gerossie followed with a single that plated Rossi. But that one run was all Pinkerton would manage on this big day.

Top-seeded Manchester Central super-freshman Julia Chappell did everything but win against the second-ranked LHS senior in the championship match, as the Assumption College-bound Burbine wound up taking the battle by a 6-2, 4-6, 6-3 tally. “This is the best ending I could ask for,” said Burbine. “I accomplished my four-year goal.” The singles title battle began at the Derryfield L Recent Londonderry High grad Cassie Burbine finished her tennis singles career by winning the state crown last week. School but then had to be completed next door on the lit SNHU courts due to darkness. Burbine, who made it as far as the state singles semifinals last spring before falling to the eventual state champ Sunday Swett of Bow, trailed Chappell by a 3-2 tally in the last set of last week’s final before zooming back to bag the decisive 6-3 victory. In the first round of singles tourney action at Pinkerton Academy in Derry on Saturday, June 7, Burbine received a firstround bye due to her upper-level seeding. Then in round two she disposed of Berklee Vaillancourt of Derryfield in an 80 white-washing. And finally that day - in round three action at PA Burbine bested Shelley Herrington of Bishop Brady in a 7-6 (8-6), 3-6, 60 decision. Moving on to the Derryfield School for the second day of competition last week, Burbine faced the daunting task - in multiple ways - of having to dispose of her best friend and Londonderry High teammate Ana Milosavljevic in round four. Burbine won that match handily by a score of 6-3, 6-0, and advanced to the title round against Chappell. The Londonderry stalwart had to battle hard, but she accomplished her major personal goal of an individual title in the end. “Her top-spin shots kept going deep and bouncing over my head, and that gave me some trouble. So I started hitting deeper to her backhand because she didn’t have as much power with her backhand,” said the Lady Lancer of defeating Chappell. And with the singles crown tucked safely away, Burbine reunited with doubles partner Milosavljevic to drive for another title. That top-seeded duo pushed its way into the doubles finals against second-ranked Derryfield School sisters Colbi and Berklee Vaillancourt. The LHS ladies started their title match against the Derryfield duo on its home court last Friday, June 13, but soon had to stop playing due to rain. Their important match then continued this past Monday, June 16. Burbine and Milosavljevic lost in the doubles title match to the Derryfield sisters by a tally of 36, 6-4, 3-6. ◆ ◆ Falcon Booters Fly to Wins in Their First 11 Games CHRIS PANTAZIS LONDONDERRY TIMES ————––––––————–◆ his spring, stepping in front of the LonUnited donderry Soccer Club (LUSC) Falcons’ U-8 team is akin to walking in front of a speeding bus.

An estimated 300 teams and 6,000 youngsters both male and female from 37 towns came to Londonderry to compete in the New Hampshire Youth Lacrosse Association End of Year Festival on Londonderry athletic fields on June 14 and 15. “The money that’s made from concessions all weekend goes to boys’ and W girls’ high school boosters,” said LYLA spokesman Kevin Derhak. “And the kids are required to volunteer time for the weekend.” Abigail McCune, LYLA parent, added, “We do this to help to grow the sport of lacrosse in New Hampshire and to bring the towns of New Hampshire together to celebrate the sport that we love in the spirit of the origins of lacrosse.” The festival highlights the work that all of the kids have put in during a fun weekend during which the accent is placed upon the fun that’s to be had in lacrosse and much less on the winning and losing aspects. “Traditional lacrosse games, among the tribal nations as early as the 17th century, were sometimes major events that could last several days, with 100 to 1,000 people participating in the games,” added McCune. “Medicine men acted as coaches, and the purpose of these games were recreation, toughening young warriors, participation in collective prayer, the settling of disputes, and most importantly the gathering of nations in celebration.” And the annual festival winds up helping the Londonderry High lax booster programs a tremendous amount in the end. “The high school lacrosse booster programs do use it as their biggest The Londonderry U-11 Huskies faced off against an opponent from Hudson during the huge New Hampshire Youth Lacrosse Association End of Year Festival in Londonderry last weekend.

But in the end, a championship proved a bit more than elusive for the nowformer Lancer standouts. After being named the number one seed in the state singles tourney, Ryan Broderick powered his way all the way to the championship round of that event. But in the end he fell short of his goal of a title, dropping a 6-1, 6-2 A match decision to Bedford High standout Dan Soucy. In the early rounds of the tournament at the Derryfield School in Manchester on Saturday, June 7, Broderick drove past Zane Keehbler of Saint Thomas Aquinas High in Dover by an 8-0 score, Sam Kluger of Nashua North by an 8-0 tally, and then Aaron Drummond of Moultonborough in a lopsided 6-1, 6-1 decision. Then on Tuesday, June 10, at Derryfield, the former Lancer drove to the title round by defeating Ross Kenney of Winnacunnet High in Hampton FREE (6-4, 7-5). But besting Soucy in the finals just wasn’t to be for the talented local. “Ryan went on to the top four and had a huge personal victory despite terrible cramping at the end of the first set to defeat Ross Kenney in straight sets, 6-4, 7-5. It was an epic 3 1/2-hour match,” said LHS boys’ tennis coach Janice Tracey. But after using up so much energy in round four, Broderick faced the Herculean task of besting Bedford stalwart Soucy. “Unfortunately, Ryan had nothing left in the tank to take on Dan Soucy Junk Car Removal! of Bedford at 8:15 in the evening,” said Tracey. “They had almost a twohour match, with Dan the victor.” The strong Londonderry doubles duo of McKinney and Court headed into its tourney which began on Sunday, June 8, with matches at Derryfield and Southern New Hampshire University next door - seeded eighth. And that day the Lancers offed a duo from Winnacunnet (8-3), one from Alvirne of Hudson (8-2), and Marty Pelletier and Nick Flanders from Goffstown High (6-3, 6-3) to advance to fourth round play at Derryfield last Friday, June 13. But the two skilled locals fell out of title contention that day when they were defeated by the extremely tough Winnacunnet High tandem of Kenney and Dylan Taylor. “They won the first set 6-4 and had a tough time closing the second set and lost 4-6,” said Tracey. “They had a 5-2 lead in the third and couldn’t close it out, and then they lost in a third set tiebreak. But they played phenomenal doubles. They were aggressive and just had some really tough breaks on some really key points. But they are champions in every way.

Del Signore put forth a masterful pitching performance, holding Bedford to a paltry two hits while striking out 11 of them and surrendering no walks at all. The 11 whiffs brought southpaw Del Signore’s season strikeout total up to a stellar 117. “Rob was focused and used all his pitches effectively tonight,” said Demas. There was no score until the bottom half of the fourth frame when the Lancers scored three times, with Corey making the biggest noise of the inning by ripping a three- the school board had created the committee, and he hesitated to answer questions that had not been made known to the school board. “It’s a protocol issue,” he said. Board member Chris Davies asked what other sites had been looked at and DeFrancesco said one was attaching it to the LHS gym, and another was in one of the playing fields in front of the high school. DeFrancesco said some areas owned by the town were potential sites, but the school district wanted to be able to use it during school hours, so being on school property was important. He noted he had met with school staff and asked how each department would use the auditorium. “They came up with excellent suggestions,” he said. DeFrancesco said the police and fire departments could use the facility for training, and local dance studios and karate classes could use it for recitals and demonstrations. While it was originally proposed to seat 950, the auditorium was reduced to 800 seats, given the declining school population. Board member Rick Brideau asked about parking and DeFrancesco said there is enough parking, as the building would be scheduled to avoid conflicts with sporting events at the gym.

All in all, the Lancers raked a modest five hits, with Corey and Brett Evangelista each collecting two. the committee and said there would not be a need for extra staff to take care of the auditorium. DeFrancesco said currently the custodial staff has to set up chairs in the gym and cover the floor and set up a stage for events. Because the auditorium would already have seats and a stage, that would save time and money. Board member Mary Wing Soares asked if the space between the cafeteria and the new building would have a cover to protect students and their musical instruments in inclement weather. DeFrancesco said the committee was trying to work out that detail with the state fire marshal. Board member Laura El-Azem asked about the cost, and DeFrancesco said that would be presented to the school board Aug. 26. Several members said the building should be constructed in its entirety, rather than coming back later to build additions. ◆ ◆ Auditorium Continued from page 1 DeFrancesco said he met with every department head as well as the fire inspector, the state fire marshal, the town manager and staff from the state Department of Transportation, which has given its approval to the proposed location, a parking area adjacent to the high school cafeteria and lower than the high school access road.

BAILEY LONDONDERRY TIMES ————––––––————–◆ mateur or “ham” radio is more than talking to people on the other side of the globe. It just might save your life. On Saturday, June 28, members of the Rockingham County Amateur A Radio Emergency Services (ARES) will spread out over the Taylor Mill property on Island Pond Road in Derry to practice their skills and show them to the public. A press release for the group states, “Every year whole regions find themselves in the dark. Tornadoes, fires, storms, ice and even the occasional cutting of fiber optic cables leave people without the means to communicate. In these cases, the one service that has never failed has been Amateur Radio. Amateur radio operators, often called ‘hams’, provide backup communications for everything from the American Red Cross to FEMA and even local cities and towns.” West Rockingham County’s hams will join with Amateur Radio operators across the country to show their emergency capabilities on June 28 at the Taylor Mill Historic Site. According to Jay Carter, a spokesperson for the Western Rockingham County group, “Hams” across the United States will be holding public demonstrations of their emergency communications capabilities on June 28, national Field Day. It’s the first Field Day they’ve had in several years, he said. In a Field Day, the operators put their antennae up on an impromptu basis and see what works and what doesn’t work in the great outdoors. The operators make themselves available in all kinds of emergency situations, Carter said. “We provide backup communication to the American Red Cross, police and fire departments in situations such as power outages and ice storms,” he explained. When the Mother’s Day flood of 2007 took out the power station at Nottingham, ARES members took up posts around that town and were able to relay communication to the Emergency Operations Center, Carter said. They also help out in happier events such as road races, he said, adding, “It’s a good opportunity to practice our communication skills.” There are between 40 and 50 members in ARES, with a core group of 15 to 20, and eight to 10 committed to this year’s Field Day, Carter said. While the Internet has facilitated communication with other parts of the world, ham radio has never gone away and is growing, Carter said. The American Radio Relay League, the first organized ham radio group, was formed in 1914, when the art was still in its infancy. “You could only do short ‘hops,’ in a range of 20 to 30 miles,” Carter said. “To get a message from Maine to New Hampshire took many hams.” The practice is growing, Carter said, because it’s one of the most direct forms of communication. Computers, the Internet, Twitter can all fail, Carter added. They can be compromised in a crisis. “Field day is important. We want people to know we can get the message through,” he said. The 1805 Taylor Mill will also be open on the 28th. The operators will begin setting up at 10 a.m. and the event officially begins at 2 p.m. For more information on amateur radio in general, visit www.emergency-radio.org; for more information on West Rockingham County ARES, visit www.wrock.nhradio.org; an d f o r i n f o rm a t i o n on Taylor Mill visit www.nhdfl.org/land-conservation/taylor-sawmill/.
