Town Common Improvement
Proposals Go to Planning Board
KAITLYN G. WOODS
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
he Master Plan Implementation Committee intends to
propose that the Planning
Board consider conceptual plans for improvements
to the Town Common that
would enhance the space,
making it more attractive,
safe, and accessible.
The committee voted
6-0 to recommend the
Planning Board approve
the following: funding in
the Fiscal Year 2016 budget to install crosswalks at
the Town Common, to
address invasive species
in the area, and to complete the schematic design
for the project.
“The goal is to make
the Town Common something that is usable, something people appreciate
T
and that is more accessible. Something that adds
social capital to our town,”
member Mike Speltz said.
In the conceptual plans
the committee expects to
share with the Planning
Board at its Nov. 12 meeting, which landscape
artist Bill Flynn presented
at the committee’s Oct. 22
meeting, other proposed
improvements to the Common include landscape
enhancements, such as
installing elm trees around
the perimeter of the site;
installing a sidewalk around the common and
paths radiating from the
center of the site to crosswalks on Pillsbury and
Mammoth roads; installing
a gravel road behind the
pavilion for unloading and
loading vehicles; installing
benches and period lamps;
and realigning the Civil
War Memorial to face the
main entrance to the Common, as well as reorganizing the other war memorials around the Civil War
Memorial.
“The Civil War Memorial would become a central point,” Flynn said,
noting moving monuments is often an issue
that generates emotion.
Members expressed
concern with some of the
details of the proposal,
such as the gravel drive
on the Common, which
Flynn reminded them was
simply an illustration of
what is possible for the
space.
If the Town decides to
fund a schematic design
for the project, which
Flynn estimates will cost

Hazmat Refresher Course
Prepares Firefighters for Ebola
KAITLYN G. WOODS
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
fter completing a
refresher course
on handling Hazardous Materials (Hazmat
training) with a component addressing the Ebola
outbreak, Battalion Chief
Jim Roger said Londonderry firefighters are pre-
A
pared to care for infected
patients and contain contagion.
“We’re hopeful it won’t
be needed, but we don’t
want to be caught unprepared,” Roger said of the
eight-hour training sessions held last week,
which included a classroom component where
firefighters learned the
right questions to ask
when screening patients
for the Ebola Virus, and
drills where firefighters
practiced suiting up in
their Hazmat gear and
proper methods for decontaminating.

Budget Committee Considers
Auditorium, Library Books, Roads
KAITLYN G. WOODS
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
he Budget Committee considered requests for funding
to support various initiatives and town services,
including road maintenance, public library resources, and the proposed construction of a
community auditorium.
In a presentation at
the Committee’s Oct. 23
meeting, Director of Public Works and Engineering
Janusz Czyzowski told the
committee funding levels
for road rehabilitation are
substantially lower than
they should be.
T
“I’m doomed, I can’t
keep it up,” Czyzowski
said, explaining that based on a recommended 12
year cycle of maintenance
for the roads in Londonderry, he should be rehabilitating 15 miles per
year at a cost of $2.4 million.
“The minute you build a
road, pavement starts oxidizing,” he said. “Around
12 years, you should invest
some money to renovate
that road. If you don’t, that
road deteriorates very
quickly and it costs later
on four or five times more.”
Instead, the town has
been funding the program
at $295,182 per year,
allowing for 1.8 miles to
be rehabilitated annually a 102 year rehabilitation
cycle.
The Town additionally
receives $500,000 in a
state grant for repairs.

fund I have to accumulate

Resident Questions School Board Decision to Start Funding Auditorium
KAITLYN G. WOODS
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
Londonderry taxpayer called into
question the School
Board’s decision to start
the process of planning
for a new auditorium at
Londonderry High School.
“My question is related
to how we came to the conclusion that if we had $9 million to spend, that an auditorium is the best investment for increasing the student body’s achievement,”
John Wilson of 3 Tranquil
Drive said at the Board’s
Oct. 22 meeting. “I’m trying
to understand what our
choices were in capital
expenditure that lost.”
Member Steve Young
reminded Wilson the School
Board, as of yet, has only
approved sending a warrant article to the voters
for $500,000 to fund architecture and engineering
for the project.
Superintendent Nate
Greenberg explained the
School District began seriously considering the
need for an auditorium
following a visit from the
New England Association
of Schools and Colleges
(NEASC), which recommended the addition.
A committee tasked
with investigating the
potential value of building
an auditorium at the high
school determined the
investment would offer
A
Londonderry
Times
537-2760
extensive benefits and
opportunities to performing groups and the community, as well as provide
academic opportunities,
such as the chance for
students to get accustomed to learning in a
large lecture-hall setting
before going off to college,
according to Greenberg.
“We have over onethird of the student body
participating in the Music
Department and a large
number of students in
drama. Many other educational programs would be
enhanced as well,” Greenberg said. “I couldn’t tell
you right now it would
improve SAT scores by
five points, but I think it
would definitely improve
opportunities for students
at the elementary, middle,
and high school levels.”
Wilson said while he
could appreciate the apparent enhancements Greenberg described, his question is directed more
toward what other ways
the District could spend
that money to increase
student achievement.
“The worst thing you
can do in business is have
an investment opportunity in front of you and go
down that road without
asking for choices,” he
said. “The danger lies in
making a decision without
choices. Having multiple
choices takes out the
emotion of the decision.”
But Tony DeFrancesco,
who chairs the Community Auditorium Committee,
thinks an auditorium is
the “right next step” for
the School District, as he
told the Budget Committee at its Oct. 23 meeting.
“In 1976 when the high
school was proposed, an
auditorium and swimming
pool were cut from the plan
with an understanding that
it’s an incomplete school
and the auditorium would
be added on later,” he said.
“Roll to 2014 and we still
don’t have an auditorium.
This project has been on
the Capital Improvements
Plan since it was invented.”
The school also does
not have a swimming
pool.
Going back 20 years,
NEASC recommended the
addition of an auditorium.
NEASC made the recommendation again five
years ago, Greenberg said.
“Not too long ago we
looked at what would be
the best physical opportu-
nities for us at the high
school and we made a
conscious decision not to
add the auditorium, but to
increase academic space,”
he said. “We built up to a
second floor, renovated a
brand new library, and
put in new science labs.”
Greenberg said the
District passed a bond to
take care of major facility
needs, including roofing
throughout the District
and parking lot improvements at Matthew Thornton Elementary School,
thinking that down the
road an auditorium would
be a prudent addition.

“I feel that the next

“As a business decision, this is a next best

DeFrancesco agreed.
“You’re thinking of
Capital Improvement as
brick-and-mortar,” Wilson
said. “Investing in technology is a capital expenditure that has never
come up in this conversation I think we should be
looking at it as an alternative way to spend money.

Editorial
Happy Halloween
Can we step back from the real
horrors of the world – Ebola and ISIS
and refugees with no place to go and
a Congress that doesn’t know how to
play with others – and take pleasure
in the childhood favorite of Halloween?
Halloween is Friday, and if you
did a quick survey of people you
know, you’re likely to find that it’s
the favorite holiday of many of them.
Most of us harbor plenty of good
memories of trick-or-treating amidst
the fall leaves, more candy than we
could easily consume, and the fun of
dressing up and, even for just a few
hours, trying to scare ourselves a little. But never fear - the day is not
about horror, it’s about fun.
Carving pumpkins with scary
faces, wearing masks, and posing as
witches or superheroes or fairy tale
characters – it’s the stuff of good
childhood memories. A little shiver
of being scared and a lot of laughter.
There will always be people who
caution that Halloween is too scary
for kids. But what’s really scary is
not the make-believe, it’s some of the
real-life events happening all around
us.
Want to talk about scary? Elected
officials who operate like 2-year-olds
in the sandbox, fighting over their
toys – only they’re fighting over the
basics of our lives. A disease we
have no idea how to cure. Random
shootings in places that should be
safe all across the country, such as a
high school in Washington state last
week – and recently, in Canada’s Parliament.
But let’s focus on Halloween.
Every year we run into the name
changers, who prefer to call the seasonal holiday a Harvest Festival
rather than Halloween. In Halloween’s Celtic origins, the day does
indeed celebrate the end of the harvest and the start of winter. In the
church it is All Hallows Eve – the day
before a Christianized feast influenced by Celtic harvest festivals. But
there’s nothing wrong with calling
the costume-pumpkin-candy night
Halloween and still mark the harvest.
It’s like debating whether to call
the Civil War by that name or the
War Between the States or the War of
Northern Aggression. It’s still a war
in which many people died and slavery was abolished. We need to cast
political correctness aside.
So as the winter holidays near,
take a brief but welcome break from
the real and indulge in some Halloween magical thinking. Dress up,
carve a pumpkin and roast the seeds
with your family, stock up on candy
for trick-or-treaters and sample
some yourself, and as the sky turns
dark tomorrow night, celebrate Halloween.

Youth Soccer
To the editor:
To the Town Council:
In full disclosure, I
have a 7-year-old son that
plays for LUSC and I also
am lucky enough to be
able to be an assistant
coach on his team. My
son played LYSA soccer
for three years and was
ready for something different after the end of last
season.
Now for me to say that
rec sports doesn’t have a
place in all kids’ lives is an
understatement. Rec sports
always has and always
will have a place. That
being said, if the age
restrictions proposed are
enforced, you will be having a hand in pushing kids
out of town. If LUSC isn’t
able to offer the program
to my kids and others his
age, I can guarantee kids
will be leaving town to
seek other opportunities.
I will also assure you
those kids won’t be coming back until middle
school and/or high school.
That will be devastating
to Londonderry athletics
and more importantly to
the friendships and bonds
the kids have developed.
My wife and I chose
Londonderry because of
the schools and opportunities, but the overall
good in this community is
not something we anticipated, and it is overwhelming. LUSC is one of
the many great opportunities in our town and for
that to be minimized is a
colossal disservice.
From an outsider at
the town meetings, this
fight seems personal. And
to see the connections
that some of the decision
makers have to the rec
department, that feeling
wasn’t hard to come to. I
truly believe that you all
joined the town council to
do good, and here is your
chance.
In closing, like all parents, I want everything for
my kids, and for someone
to try to take an opportunity away from them, well
that just doesn’t work for
me. As a business owner
in town, I am very concerned about the “issues”
that the Town Council is
deciding to take on. I
hope that you will make
the right decision that is
in the best interest of the
children.

ondonderry Police
responded to two
complaints that striking FairPoint Communications employees were
interfering with non-union
workers’ ability to work
on Lucas Road.
The caller reported
the picketers were protesting around the worker
and making it difficult for
him to do his job, Det.

In an Oct. 21 press
release, FairPoint Communications expressed
“concern with activities

customers and obstruct
customer service.”

FairPoint workers in
Maine, New Hampshire
and Vermont went on
strike after months of
negotiations between the
company and its unions
over new contracts,
which expired in early
August.
“While FairPoint respects the employees’
right to strike, we cannot
allow any actions that
threaten the safety of our
employees or the service
needs of our customers.
Individuals have followed
and intimidated contractors and employees,
blocked our trucks, surrounded our workers on
job sites, trespassed on
customer property and
engaged in conduct that
impedes the work FairPoint is doing to meet
customer needs,” the
press release said.
When Londonderry
Police responded to both
the Oct. 21 and Oct. 22
calls, Olson said officers
found peaceful protesters. Olson said in both
cases, the picketers decided to disperse soon
after police arrived.

Elder Affairs Committee Members to Meet with Transit Group
KAITLYN G. WOODS
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
midst ongoing scheduling issues with
Cooperative Alliance for Regional Transportation (CART), Elder
Affairs Committee representatives were to meet
with CART Executive
Director Annette Stoller
on Wednesday, Oct. 29, to
discuss potential resolutions to benefit Londonderry seniors.
“This will be the first
of several meetings, I
think,” said Senior Affairs
Director Cathy Blash, who
A
said she continues to
receive complaints from
Londonderry seniors who
are having difficulty scheduling transportation with
CART.
“Our concerns are making sure the Town of Londonderry and the taxpayer are getting their money’s worth on the transportation,” Elder Affairs
Committee Chairman Al
Baldasaro said.
The town paid CART
$26,397 for FY13 and the
Town Council approved
another $26,397 for FY14,
according to Londonder-
ry Finance Director Susan
Hickey.
The Elder Affairs Committee tasked a subcommittee with looking into
other transportation options and complaints from
seniors that have been
documented.
“The issues are still
the same and we’re trying
to get to the bottom of it
and see what they can
come up with,” Blash
said. “We have some
questions for them, and
we’re going to try to get it
straightened out.”
Blash said she is opti-
mistic CART and the
Town can resolve the
issues and move forward
with a positive relationship.
“CART is a good program, there are just some
issues that need to be
worked out,” Baldasaro
agreed.
“We want to work with
CART,” Blash said, noting
she wants to help come
up with answers to
improve the program for
seniors. “We’re going to
go and hear what they
have to say. I’m hoping we
can make things more
positive and figure out the
source of the problem. Is
it because of a lack of
funding or do they need
more buses, or drivers?
How can we rearrange the
schedule to accommodate more seniors?”
For example, one thing
Blash said she would like
to see is transportation
from the Senior Center
available later on Thursday afternoons.
Rockingham Meals on
Wheels is at the Senior
Center three days a week.
CART brings seniors at 10
a.m. and picks them up at
2 p.m., but on Thursday
the seniors are picked up
at 12:30 p.m.
“It would be nice if
they didn’t have to rush
out right after lunch,”
Blash said. “We want the
Senior Center available to
as many seniors as want
to come here.”
Blash said she hopes
the meeting this week,
which takes place after
the Londonderry Times
goes to press, will be a
good brainstorming session that will lead to
something more positive.
sideration as part of the
overall project to make
the Town Common a
more utilized, historically
symbolic site are enhancements to the Town
Forest, such as developing a more extensive trail
system; exploring opportunities to create a more
accessible pond area, as
well as the possibility of
improving the pond to
accommodate winter ice
skating; and exploring the
potential for developing a
small parking area within
the Town Forest to serve
the skating pond and the
Adams Pond Conservation Area.
Speltz expressed concern with proposed improvements to the pond in
the Town Forest and with
the proposed parking lot.
“What you see as
debris and cleaning up
could be home sweet
home to a lot of critters,”
Speltz said.
Speltz also noted
there is a parking lot right
across the street from the
Town Forest near the
Adams Pond Conservation Area.
“Do we really need
another one?” Speltz asked, noting the Town has
been having a problem
with vandalism and other
activities at the existing
parking area. “A secluded
parking lot in the woods
will become a hangout.”
As Flynn noted, those
details would be addressed while working with a
designer completing a
schematic design for the
Town.
The “magnitude of
costs,” what Flynn estimates each portion of the
project could cost, are as
follows: crosswalks, up to
$50,000; Town Common
Enhancements, $500,000
to $750,000; Expanded
Trail System, up to
$10,000 for existing trail
and paths; and between
$20,000 and $50,000 for an
accessible trail system.
The proposed pond improvements are expected
to cost between $50,000
and $75,000.
Comprehensive Planner John Vogl said moving
forward, an important
goal for the committee
will be to start treating
the Town Common and
the Town Forest as one
entity, and to integrate
the planning of the two.
◆

Common
somewhere between $15,000
and $20,000, the committee and members of the
public would have the
opportunity to weigh in

Firefighter Files Suit for Harassment, Hostile Work Environment
KAITLYN G. WOODS
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
Londonderry Firefighter is suing the
Town for damages
related to the handling of
alleged harassment and a
hostile work environment
created by her co-workers and superiors.
According to the
complaint filed on Oct. 9
with Rockingham Supe-
A
rior Court, Patricia Hamann, a career firefighter
with Londonderry since
October 2002, “cited a lack
of communication and
manipulative and controlling behavior” in a request
on May 8, 2012 to be transferred to a different battalion, which was subsequently denied.
Hamann alleges between February 2012 and

April 2012 her Battalion
Chief attempted to bar
her from participating in
necessary training by failing to inform her of said
training and would exclude her from planning
for shift meals and shift

Additionally, the complaint alleges Hamann’s
Battalion Chief would
undermine her seniority
by allowing more junior
firefighters benefits not
conferred upon her. He
also allegedly undermined Hamann by encouraging other firefighters to ignore her, exclude
her from conversations,
exclude her from activities, or otherwise make it
difficult for her to perform her duties as a firefighter.
Hamann alleges her
co-workers would ignore
her and talk about her
while she was in the room
as if she were not there,
ignoring her requests or
statements to them, and
otherwise undermining
her ability to perform her
job.
Kevin MacCaffrie, who
was fire chief in Londonderry at the time, conducted an investigation,
but did not take corrective action, the complaint
alleges. Hamann was disciplined soon after, before

leave; and she was disciplined immediately upon
her return in June 2012.
On Oct. 25, 2012, the
complaint says the now
retired MacCaffrie sent
Hamann a letter stating
he would not take immediate action on her
request for transfer to a
different battalion and
characterized her complaints as “minor.”
Hamann allegedly requested transfer again on
Jan. 2, 2013 and in August
2013. Both those requests
were denied and Hamann
was allegedly disciplined
three times following her
additional requests, according to the court document.
On Aug. 27, 2014,
Hamann was temporarily
transferred to another
battalion when the police
department began an
investigation into her allegations of a hostile work
environment, according
to the complaint.
Hamann said she was
“subjected to circular and
ambiguous discussions,
continuous criticism, and
dishonesty,” and “the negative treatment by members of the battalion
caused her headaches,
sleepless nights, and
required her to seek wellness aids.”
The Town also launched an investigation into
Hamann’s claims, tasking
the Police Department
with the job of determining if her grievances had
merit, rather than hiring
an independent investigation service, according to
the complaint.
After requests for a
copy of the report for the
Town’s investigation went
unanswered by Town
Manager Kevin Smith, the
Police Department, and
Fire Chief Darren O’Brien,
Hamann complained to
the New Hampshire
Department of Labor
(DOL) on March 28, 2014.
The DOL threatened to
sanction the Town after
receiving a letter saying
the Town refused to produce the investigation.
The DOL explained it
could not hold a hearing
to enforce its order on
May 9, 2014.
On June 6, 2014 the
DOL withdrew its order to
produce the investigation
report, according to the
complaint.
The Town had not
been served the lawsuit
when the Londonderry
Times went to press on
Tuesday, Oct. 28. The lawsuit is to be served by
Nov. 28.
When asked for comments regarding the lawsuit, O’Brien deferred to
Smith, who asked that
inquiries be directed to
the town attorney.
Attorney Joshua Scott
did not return multiple
phone calls requesting
comments on Hamann’s
case.

‘Flipped’ Classroom at LHS Makes Use of New Teaching Method
KAITLYN G. WOODS
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
arents who have
ever been stumped
by their child’s math
homework will be happy
to hear the Londonderry
School District is trying
out a revolutionary new
teaching method that
flips lecture time and
homework time, where
frustration and uncertainty tends to arise most.
Instead of lecturing in
class and sending her students home to work
through problems independently, Londonderry
High School math teacher
Rebecca McMahon has a
“Flipped Classroom,” where
students watch a prerecorded video of her lesson at home, then come to
class prepared with questions and ready to work
through problems as a
class.
“This puts more responsibility on the child,
making them take ownership of their learning,”
McMahon told the School
P
Board during an Oct. 21
presentation on the new
approach. “There has
been a shift from them
just covering the material
to them mastering it.”
Although it took a
great deal of preparation
to record all the videos
for her “flipped classroom,” McMahon said the
payoff has been well
worth the effort.
“They don’t need me
as much in class, so I have
more time to spend with
kids who are struggling
with a concept and need
more help,” she said, noting because students may
work ahead if they master
a lesson quickly, managing a classroom that
could potentially be working on all different assignments can seem overwhelming. “Some of my
kids are really far ahead,
and some who have been
absent are a little behind.
I have to be as fast as the
quickest kid in class.”
Students work in groups
on problems in class using
iPads acquired through a
grant. The devices have
an application called
Socrative that allows
McMahon to quiz students and gauge their
individual progress.
“It helps prevent ‘silent
failures,’ where kids who
choose to sit and be silent
have to participate,” she
said.
McMahon has the ability to see which students
may not understand a concept; whereas in a traditional setting, the teacher
often only hears from the
same students raising
their hands with the correct answer.
Another application
that has proved vital to
the running of McMahon’s
flipped classroom is Edmodo, a program similar
to Blackboard, which
most college courses use
for communicating and
submitting assignments.
In addition to sharing and
storing her video lessons
on Edmodo, McMahon
has made herself available to students at all
times by answering questions and sending out
reminders through the
application.
“I have had students
take a picture of their
homework assignment to
show me where they are
stuck and upload it to
Edmodo,” she said. “I can
answer their questions at
any time because my students know I always have
my phone on me. I have
made it so I can be there
for every single kid without having to be in the
classroom.”
Another innovative tool
McMahon has her students
using is called Explain
Everything, the app she
uses to record her video
lessons. Using Explain
Everything, McMahon has
students record themselves working through
various math problems
instead of completing a traditional paper and pencil
test.
In addition to increasing class participation
and generating more
excitement for what she is
“Honesty,
Integrity &
Attention to
Detail”

“In the sense that
Rebecca’s looking to have
kids in groups working
together in her classroom,
we have teachers collaborating as well,” he said.
Principal Jason Parent
said there are pockets of
flipped classrooms throughout the departments at
the high school.
“Rebecca did a lot of
work over the summer
making these videos. It
takes a significant amount
of time to plan the video,
make the video, and log
it,” Greenberg said. “It’s a
fair amount of up-front
investment that comes
back in spades as you go
down the road. We’re fortunate to have teachers
like Becca who have
invested their time to do
this. Not everything will
lend itself to flip videos,
but in cases like this
where it does work, it’s
very advantageous.”

teaching, the technology
McMahon is using in her
classroom is engaging a
generation of students for
whom technology is a

McMahon is keeping
up with students who
enjoy multi-tasking and
accessing a wealth of
information instantly, but
sorting through it at their
own pace. McMahon is
speaking their language.
“I think flipped learning is brilliant,” Vice Chair
Nancy Hendricks said.
“My hat’s off to you, I
think individualized learning is the way to go,”
member John Laferriere
said. “Who owns the property rights to the videos
(McMahon) recorded? I
think we need to really
understand those materials to insure the amount
of time we have a person
doing all this work. Do we
set up a library where
other teachers can access

to reinvent the wheel?”

School Board Stands by Bus Stop, Resident Appeals to State
KAITLYN G. WOODS

he School Board
voted 5-0 to uphold
the position of a
controversial bus stop on
Darrow Way after receiving a petition to move the
stop due to safety concerns.
“We’re not asking you
to add another stop, we’re
just asking you to go 30
T
seconds down the road
where all three kids in the
cul-de-sac live,” said David
Fletcher of 13 Darrow Way,
who was permitted to
present new evidence
relating to his petition
before the board voted.
Fletcher noted one of
his neighbors must wait
at the bus stop in question for one child, as well
as a bus stop at her home
for her kindergartener. It
would be much less difficult for her to juggle the
two stops if all the children were picked up in
the cul-de-sac.
“We’re literally just
asking for the bus to stop

road,” he said.

Manchester Man Arrested
for Burglaries in Area Towns
KAITLYN G. WOODS
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
ondonderry Police
arrested a Manchester man on multiple
charges related to alleged
burglaries throughout
Southern New Hampshire.
A Londonderry Police
officer discovered a blue,
four-door sedan parked
on the side of Hall Road
on Sept. 19 at 12:15
matching the description
of a car associated with a
burglary in Litchfield.
As in the description of
the burglary in Litchfield,
a woman was outside the
sedan cleaning off the
floor mats of the car to
make it look like she had a
L
reason to be parked there,
according to Det. Christopher Olson.
After investigating further, the officer discovered the woman’s friend,
Mitchel Powers, 23, who
had been living with his
brother in Londonderry,
was burglarizing the Hall
Road home in front of
where she was parked.
The vehicle was seized
and police found a large
amount of property that
had been reported stolen
from Londonderry and
other towns.
Powers was charged
with two counts of Possession of Controlled
two
Drugs/Narcotics,
counts of Possession of
Drugs in a Motor Vehicle,
Possession of Burglary
Tools, Felon in Possession
of Dangerous Weapon,
eight charges of Receiving
Stolen Property, and Criminal Liability for Conduct
of Another.
Powers was arraigned
on Oct. 23 and is awaiting
his court date.
He was subsequently
charged on Oct. 24 with
Receiving Stolen Property
for additional property
police discovered that
belongs to other victims,
according to Olson. He
was
scheduled
for
arraignment on the additional charge on Dec. 1.

Fletcher asked Chairman Leitha Reilly why,
after she had sent him an
email saying she agreed
with the School District’s
determination that the
bus stop is safe and that
was her final response on
the matter, the Board was
now holding a vote on his
petition.
Reilly explained to
Fletcher that the response
in her email included her
own opinion as he had
requested, and that the
Board had taken time
before the vote to allow
members to complete individual research on his bus
stop before making a decision.
“After 42 days of this
intense research, there
was not one comment or
question from anyone?’
Fletcher asked following
the vote.
Fletcher said his appeal of the Board’s deci-
sion has been filed with
the state Department of
Education (DOE) and he
has requested an investigation into the handling
of his petition, which
Fletcher thinks in addressing it, the Board did
not meet the minimum requirements for due process by the local school
board, as defined by
ED204 of Rules of Practice
and Procedure.
“There is an independent investigator under
contract with the DOE
who will go out to Mr.
Fletcher’s bus stop and
look at the stop from a
safety standpoint,” said
Tim Carney, an administrator for the Bureau of
Safety and Facility Management with the DOE.
Following his visit to
the bus stop, Carney said
the investigator will make
a determination based on
guidelines provided by
the state Department of
Motor Vehicles, a refer-
ence guide, and his own
experience. He will then
submit a report detailing
his decision, and the DOE
will render an opinion.
If he is not happy with
the DOE’s decision, Fletcher may appeal to a
hearing officer.
Carney said Fletcher’s
additional request for an
investigation into the
School Board’s handling
of his petition has been
passed on to the Commissioner’s Office.
“The bottom line is and
has been, we feel that the
bus stop is safe,” Superintendent Nate Greenberg
said when asked if he
thinks the School Board
handled Fletcher’s petition
appropriately. “Mr. Fletcher asked the Board to consider his bus stop, the
board remanded that to
(Business Administrator
Peter Curro), and agreed
to go back and review it.
That was an appropriate
action, I believe.”

– PROVIDER ON CALL –
PARKINSON'S DISEASE
Parkinson's disease develops gradually, often starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one
hand. But while tremor may be the most wellknown sign of Parkinson's disease, the disorder
also commonly causes a slowing or freezing of
movement. Friends and family may notice that
your face shows little or no expression and your
arms don't swing when you walk. Speech often
becomes soft and mumbling. Parkinson's symptoms tend to worsen as the disease progresses.
While there is no cure for Parkinson's disease,
many different types of medicines or procedures
can treat its symptoms.
The symptoms of Parkinson's disease vary from
person to person. Early signs may be subtle and
can go unnoticed for months or years. Symptoms
typically begin on one side of the body and usually
remain worse on that side. Parkinson's signs and
symptoms may include a tremor which is a characteristic shaking often beginning in a hand; slowed
motion which over time may reduce your ability to
initiate voluntary movement and may make even
the simplest tasks difficult and time-consuming;
rigid muscles often occurring in your limbs and
neck which can be so severe that it limits the range
of your movements and causes pain; impaired posture and balance that may become stooped as a
result of Parkinson's disease; loss of automatic
movements such as blinking, smiling and/or
swinging your arms when you walk; speech
changes where you may speak more softly, rapidly
or in a monotone, sometimes slurring or repeating
words, or hesitating before speaking; or dementia
occurring in the later stages of Parkinson's disease.
Many symptoms of Parkinson's disease result from
the lack of a chemical messenger, called
dopamine, in the brain. This occurs when the specific brain cells that produce dopamine die or
become impaired. But researchers still aren't certain about what sets this chain of events in
motion. Some theorize that genetic mutations or
environmental toxins may play a role in Parkinson's disease.
Risk factors for Parkinson's disease include age,
heredity, sex or exposure to toxins. See your doctor if
you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease. Although Parkinson's disease can sometimes be difficult to pin down, getting an accurate
diagnosis is the key to starting appropriate treatment
that may help delay or manage symptoms for years.
As a Family Practitioner for over 20 years in
Southern New Hampshire, I have treated new
borns to individuals in their Golden Years. My
staff and I believe that prevention is the best
cure. And we like to do it the old-fashioned
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.

College, Career Preparation Detailed in Strategic Plan
KAITLYN G. WOODS
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
ollege and career
readiness for all students and strengthening communication were
top goals detailed in the
School District’s Long
Range Strategic Plan.
Assistant Superintendent Joe Laliberte described various tools
and assessments the District is using to help students explore and plan
for college and careers
in a comprehensive and
organized way, such as
C
MyRoad, the College
Board’s college and career readiness assessment; Big Future, which
is directed toward college planning itself; and
Naviance, which helps
students work through
the college admissions
process step-by-step.
“It’s such a good feeling of cohesion and sense
that as kids move through
our schools they will have
a greater sense of why
they’re there and how to
set goals and work towards achieving them,”
Laliberte said.
This fall, the District
began incorporating student exploration of college and career options
into the culture of the District - for example, students learned about a
variety of careers through
a District-wide College
and Career Day, which
featured presentations by
professionals in the community and field trips to
local businesses.
Laliberte also described curriculum adjustments geared toward
preparing students for
various assessments, including a change in the
order students take math
courses at the high
school level to ensure
greater continuity of skill
and development; and a
refocus in math on
numeracy and number
sense, functions, fractions, and decimals to
strengthen foundations
and support accelerated
advancement in later
grades.
“This illustrates how
our curriculum is evolv-
ing,” Board Vice Chairman
Nancy Hendricks said.
In concluding his presentation on the District’s
Long Range Strategic
Plan, Laliberte spoke to
the District’s goals for
improving communication with parents and the

“We’re in the process
of creating a true systemic system of communication,” Laliberte said.
“This is an attempt to cre-
ate a mass system of communication within our
community. We want to
brag about the great work
our students and staff are
doing.”
“I often hear from people who don’t have kids in
schools asking why tax
money is going to certain
things. This adds a layer
of transparency,” Chairman Leitha Reilly said at
the Oct. 21 School Board
meeting. “The taxpayer
sees a return on their

School Board Puts More Money in Unassigned Fund Balance
KAITLYN G. WOODS
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
he School Board
voted 5-0 to transfer
$100,000 to unassigned fund balance,
which brings the fund to a
total of $202,810 “plus or
minus 10 percent.”
“Do we have a chance
to add more to that fund
during the budget season?” board member
T
Steve Young asked Business Administrator Peter
Curro during his firstquarter financial report at
the School Board’s Oct. 21
meeting.
“Not during the budget
season, this is our one
and only chance,” Curro
said. “Now that we have a
better understanding of
the law, next year maybe
we will come in a little bit
earlier with this. I’ve
always thought $100,000
is appropriate in that
we’re doing what the rating agencies want us to do
and balancing that with a
tax rate the Board is going
to be happy with.”
“I appreciate that and
I’m not picking on you
coming in at this hour. I
think a $200,000 fund balance on a $65 million cor-
poration is laughable,”
Young said.
But the District can
build on that, Curro said,
noting it should be the
District’s goal over the
next few years to put
$100,000 away as long as it
doesn’t affect the tax rate.
In regard to moving
forward with the next
budget season, Curro said
the Department of Education (DOE) has yet to notify the District of a meeting to set the December
2014 tax rate. Once that
meeting is set, the District
may move forward with a
meeting to set the proper-
ty tax rate.
Unlike last year, the
DOE provided a number
for all districts to use for
its adequacy grant, which
was $136,260 below the
District’s estimate during
the FY15 budget process.
In addition to the
$202,810 unassigned fund
balance, Curro told the
board he anticipates the
District will use around
$725,500 of year-end fund
balance to offset the
December FY15 tax rate.
The District also received $1.5 million in unanticipated surplus funds
from its healthcare pro-
viders due to “more efficient operations,” which
Curro said will be used to
help cover cost-overruns
in the budget. The District
also expects to save
$344,760 in salary accounts
due to professional and
full-time staff turnover.
“At this early stage of
the fiscal year, after committing all known expenditures for the current fiscal year, the General Fund
is in good shape,” he said,
noting any possible adjustments to state revenue will remain unknown
until they meet with the
Department of Revenue.

LHS Pay It Forward Club Serves Veterans Breakfast

he Londonderry High
School Pay it Forward Club invites all
local veterans to kick off
their Veterans Day celebrations with a hot breakfast at the Matthew Thornton Elementary School
gym on Saturday, Nov. 8.
“The students really
do understand the significance of serving the veterans when the day
comes,” LHS Assistant
Principal Katie Sullivan
said. “It isn’t until they sit
and talk with them that
they realize the hands on
experiences they could
learn from our veterans.
They read about (our history), but to hear about
what they have been

through and are still going
through, it’s a real life lesson for these kids.”
Sullivan said 35 students signed up to serve
the guests of honor eggs,
pancakes, waffles, fruit,
muffins, sausages, coffee,
and juice.
The buffet-style breakfast, prepared by the Londonderry High School
Food Service, runs from 8

Information Sought About

ondonderry Police
are seeking any information the public
may have related to a
realistic looking airsoft
gun found wrapped in
sweatpants on an Adams
Pond trail across from
Mack’s Apples on Oct. 13.
A patron of the trail
who believed the gun was
real called police at 2:18
p.m. Police found the airsoft gun, which looked
like a real Sig Sauer gun
and even had the brand’s
L

of reach.
Believing it could have
potentially been used in a
crime, Det. Christopher

the gun and circumstances.
No one has contacted

Ebola. They were then
instructed to decontaminate and remove their
suits properly to prevent
the spread of contagion,
using decontamination
kits the Fire Department
purchased in response to
the crisis.
Firefighters were also
instructed to protect respiratory systems by placing a mask over the face
of any patient who may be
suffering symptoms of
Ebola - fever, headache,
joint and muscle aches,
weakness, fatigue, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach
pain and lack of appetite,
and in some cases, bleeding.
The decontamination
kits and disposable suits,
which cost about $1,000,
will ensure the department is ready to address a
situation where Ebola is
suspected to be present,
such as an airplane that
lands and appears to be
carrying infected patients.
Every ambulance in
Londonderry is equipped
with Hazmat gear, and
Rescue 1 carries Hazmat
suits and decontamination equipment. Rescue 1
would be deployed to
scenes where there is a
heightened sense of danger, such as a plane where
several passengers screened show signs of being
infected with the Ebola
Virus.
“I ordered the extra
equipment fearing if the
Ebola crisis gets worse
and we didn’t get the
equipment quickly we
may not get it,” said
Roger, who has served as
Hazmat Team Leader for
about 16 years.
In an effort to ensure
an effective response in a
situation where there is
concern a passenger is
infected with Ebola, Roger said the Manchester
Airport Fire Chief “has
been communicating and
cooperating with myself,
Fire Chief (Darren O’Brien)
and Town Manager Kevin
Smith to work out a plan.
Fire personnel responded to the Manchester Airport earlier this month
after learning an airplane
passenger was experiencing flu-like symptoms.
Roger said the incident was handled well
and responders placed a
mask over the man’s face
and transported him to
the hospital for a screening, by which it was determined he was experiencing gastrointestinal problems unrelated to the
Ebola Virus.
“By doing these classes already every year, we
found we’re already
ahead of the curve,” said
Roger, noting this year’s
Ebola-focused training
“made our firefighters feel
more prepared and well
protected.”

Lancer Gridders Snag Sloppy 22-13 Win Over South
CHRIS PANTAZIS
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
ou can rest assured
that a great many
folks will tell you
that even the ugliest of
victories is better than
defeat.
And the Londonderry
High football squad
snared what would have
to be considered its second consecutive “ugly”
victory Friday night, Oct.
Y
24, in a 22-13 downing of
the visiting Nashua South
Purple Panthers at LHS.
A week earlier, coach
Jimmy Lauzon’s Lancers
had claimed a lopsided
but penalty-packed victory over the Alvirne High
Broncos in Hudson. And
in the more recent battle
with South - which entered the evening tied
with Alvirne for first place

ference with a 4-3 record the locals did some
strong things but also
mixed in some rather
frustrating ones in pushing their season record to
an excellent 7-1.
When asked to assess
his team’s overall performance in the South
contest, Lauzon responded quickly with the word,
“Sloppy.” But he added,
“We did execute, but then
got penalties. But we’ll
make the adjustments on
film, and it’s not just the
kids that have to get better, I do too.”
Londonderry got another strong performance
from senior quarterback
Eric Fairweather, who
closed to within one, slim
passing yard of becoming
the first LHS signal-caller
ever to both rush and
throw for 1,000 yards in a
single season.
The Lancer star - who
is rumored to be a finalist
for the 2014 Mr. New Hampshire Football Award went over the 1,000-yard
rushing mark in the defeat of South by sprinting
for 140 yards and two big
scores on just 10 carries.
Fairweather also passed for 119 yards - including a 17-yard touchdown

Lady Lancer Booters End Regular Season With 11-2-3 Mark
CHRIS PANTAZIS
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
ast week, LHS girls’
soccer coach Derek
Dane and his charges faced a final week of
the Division I regular season that featured both
distinct negatives and
positives for them.
Dane and his Lady
Lancers were looking for
possible upward mobility
and a strong finish in their
congested division by
claiming good outcomes
from three games - rather
than the usual weekly
tally of two matches - during that span. But among
the good news was the
fact that the LHS crew
was due to play three
opponents - Dover, Timberlane, and Nashua
South - who were all
encumbered with season
records well under the
.500 mark, making Londonderry the clear favorite in all three contests.
As everything would
turn out, Dane’s crew shut
L
out all three opponents
and snared a 2-0-1 record
for the week to end the
regular season with a
strong, 11-2-3 record.
“I was initially concerned about the last
week of the season because we had three games
in the week,” said the
coach. “That worsened
when we got rained out
and had to play two games
in 24 hours. But we got
through the week with two
wins and a draw, so all in
all it’s not a bad week.”
After handing the woeful Dover High Green
Wave (2-13-1 record) a 2-0
blanking on the seacoast
Monday, Oct. 20, the Lady
Lancers pulled off the
same feat against a Timberlane Lady Owls’ squad
from Plaistow that came
into the Friday, Oct. 24,
contest at LHS with a 3-111 record.
The hosts received a
first-half goal from Haley
Laliberte (assist to Emily
Crocetti) and a second-
half tally from Erin Barnes
(assist to Laurel Goding)
in sending the Lady Owls
home lamenting a seasonclosing loss.
Londonderry pelted
14 shots on the Timberlane net, and LHS standout goalie Jackie Luckhardt turned aside 10
shots in helping her side
to its 11th shutout of the
2014 campaign.
Luckhardt and the Lady
Lancers bagged another
shutout - number 12 of the
campaign - in their regular
season-ending match at
home against the 4-9-2
Nashua South contingent
Saturday, Oct. 25. That was
the good news. The bad
news was that Dane’s
dames weren’t able to get
one of their own 13 shots
past South keeper Adaeze
Obinelo in a scoreless tie.
LHS goalie Luckhardt also
managed 13 stops.
“In our 16 games, we
allowed six goals and had
12 shutouts. Not too shabby,” said Dane.
Although having to
settle for a 0-0 deadlock in
its last regular season
match wasn’t ideal from
the Londonderry standpoint, Dane still found
plenty of reasons to be
proud of his crew as it
waited over the remainder of the weekend to find
out what the tournament
pairings from the New
Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association
(NHIAA) looked like.
“I believe that we have
done enough to finish in
the number four spot and
earn our first playoff bye
in five years,” he said.
“That’s a fantastic achievement for a group that
contains 12 sophomores
or freshmen and 12 players who had not played a
girls’ high school varsity
soccer game prior to this
season.”
On Monday Dane and
his girls had it confirmed
by the NHIAA that they
had notched the bye and
fourth place in D-I, and
Laurel Goding, 21, has become a point-producing
machine for the LHS girls’ soccer squad, which has
bagged a bye in the Division I tournament.
they had to await the outcome of the preliminaryround game between
number five Pinkerton
and number 12 Keene on
Thursday, Oct. 30, to see
whom they’d play on
their home field in quarterfinal-round play on
Sunday, Nov. 2, at 2 p.m.

LHS Field Hockey Gets As Far As Tourney Quarterfinals

he Londonderr y
High field hockey
team’s strong 2014
campaign came to an end
in the quarterfinal-round
of the Division I tournament last Saturday, Oct.
25 with a loss to the
Keene High School Lady
Blackbirds on the road.
Veteran coach Laura
Federico’s Lady Lancers who stepped into the
state tourney as the fifth-
T
seeded squad following
a 9-4-1 regular season bested Manchester Central in first-round play
before falling to Keene by
a lopsided 4-1 tally in the
quarters.
The Lady Lancers
made it into the quarterfinal tourney match against
Keene by ending the season of the 12th-seeded
Central Little Green with a
1-0 win at LHS in soggy
weather conditions at LHS
Wednesday, Oct. 22.
The fifth-seeded hosts
bagged the only goal of
the first-round tournament match in the first
period, with Hannah Cohen doing the honors.
Lady Lancers’ goalie Emily Downing made four
saves her contribution to
her team’s eighth shutout
of the season.
The Manchester squad
finished the regular season with a 4-10 record,
dropping eight of its last
nine decisions, including a
3-1 loss to the Lady
Lancers on Oct. 8.
By winning that tourney contest, the Londonderry crew nabbed its
fifth consecutive victory
and moved to a 10-4-1
overall on the 2014 season.
“The game was back
and forth between the two
of us,” said Federico of the
first-round victory. “We
had the first goal at 19:58
in the first half on a shot
from the left side of the
circle by Marissa Roger,
and Hannah Cohen got the
rebound to score.”
The victorious hosts
put three shots on the
Manchester squad’s net in
the first half, and then two
more in the second half.
“Our defense played
outstanding, from Katie
Montminy, Val Shay, Sophia Poulin, and Alyssa
Fitzgerald, it was great to
see them all work and
support each other,” said
Federico. “Jackie Curtin
was very strong in the
midfield position, as were
Hannah McGrath and Jen
McQueeney.”
Londonderry did not
face the Keene contingent
- which went 10-4 during
the regular season, winning its last five matches during the regular campaign. And the host Lady
Blackbirds took care of
business against coach
Federico’s force in tourney competition over the
weekend.

LHS Boy Booters Finish With A 2-1 Tripping Of Timberlane
CHRIS PANTAZIS
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
oach Todd Ellis saw
his
Londonderry
High boys’ soccer
squad become one of five
Division I teams with 10
victories when it closed
out its regular season with
a 2-1 edging of the host
Timberlane Regional Owls
C
in Plaistow last Friday, Oct.
24.
The 10-4-2 Owls - who
dropped their final four
decisions of the regular
season after going undefeated through a dozen
2014 games - grabbed a 1-0
lead during the first half
but then surrendered two
markers to Ellis’ charges
during the second period
in losing the match.
The 10-6 Lancers knotted the game count at 1-1
on Cody Woods’ unassisted tally in the second stanza, and Elijah Ellis followed
up with the eventual gamewinner (also unassisted).
Londonderry goalie
Tim McEachern contrib-
uted eight saves to his
team’s cause, and Ellis was
left with plenty of reasons
to be pleased with the way
his charges acquitted themselves during the latter 40
minutes of the match.
“We really stepped up
our game and played much
better in the second half,”
he said. “We pressured the
ball and won more of the
50/50 situations.”
The lone loss the LHS
crew suffered in its final
five matches of the regular
season came in a 2-1 decision to 7-8-1 Nashua South
in the Gate City on Oct. 21.
The Lancer booters
then found out this past
Monday morning that
they were the ninthranked team in Division I,
and that entitled them to
a road trip to Keene to
play the eighth-seeded
Keene High Blackbirds in
a toss-up game. That firstround match was set for
this Wednesday, Oct. 29,
after Londonderry Times
press time.
Has Anybody Seen My State Representative?
When Londonderry voters
elected their state representatives in 2010 and 2012,
they expected that these individuals would faithfully represent their constituents at
the State House in Concord.
Unfortunately, those expectations have not been met by
several members of our Londonderry delegation. A
review of the voting records
of our state representatives
finds that four of them have
missed an astounding 2068% of the roll call votes
from 2011-2014; three of
these representatives have
missed 35%-68% in each of
the last three years.
It is a privilege to represent the citizens of Londonderry and to give voice to
their needs and their concerns. Voting yea or nay on
the issues that confront the
people of New Hampshire,
and particularly, the voters of
Londonderry, is the primary
duty and responsibility of

exercise that right is to violate the trust of the people

missed over 30% of the roll
call votes during 2011-2013
period and almost 50% of
the votes in 2014. Dave
Lundgren has missed at least
45% of the roll call votes
from 2011-2013 and 61% in
2014. Dan Tamburello
missed 51.8% in 2012,
35.6% in 2013 and a staggering 67.7% of the roll call
votes in 2014
At a time when the needs
and concerns of our state and
of our community are so
great, we have elected and
re-elected state representatives who are absent in their
voting duties and responsibilities at remarkably, and

seven of our state representatives are seeking re-election
on Tuesday, November 4th,

who have so clearly demonstrated either an inability or
an unwillingness to attend to
their elected duties ought not
to be seeking re-election. A

LHS Spikers End Regular Season at 7-11
CHRIS PANTAZIS
LONDONDERRY TIMES
Pinkerton Academy spikers suffered their first
loss to the Bishop Guertin
squad recently - claimed
rather lopsided individual
set wins of 25-13, 25-18,
and 25-13 in besting its 711 host.
Starin’s squad got 14
kills and four service
points (with two aces)
from Madison Milton and
20 assists from Shannon
Sonia in the defeat.
Still, as the Lady
Lancers waited to find out
whom they’d face in first-

irst-year coach Dave
Starin saw his Londonderry High girls’
volleyball squad close out
its 2014 regular season
with the expected result a 3-0 shutout loss to the
undefeated Merrimack
High Lady Tomahawks at
LHS on Wednesday, Oct.
23.
The 17-0 Merrimack
crew - which is the only
undefeated entity left in
Division I since the
F
round tournament play in
the wake of that tough
match, the locals were
able to take some solace
from the fact that they
won three of their final
five matches of the regular season.
“We are likely to face
either Nashua North or
Salem in the preliminary
round,” said Starin. “I
respect both coaches and
programs, so there will
not be a preferred opponent heading into the
match.”

Football
49 seconds left in the first
half when the LHS quarterback scored from five
yards out to cap off a 10play drive, on which Londonderry was also flagged for four penalties.
The LHS defense did
masterful work in the first
half, holding a potent Purple Panther offense to 88
total yards. For its part,
the Londonderry offense
notched 223 yards during
those two periods.
The Lancers’ lead
bulged to 22-0 early in
quarter four when Fairweather connected with
Donnelly on their 17-yard
scoring toss, and just seconds later the quarterback hooked up with
Jimmy Nee on another
pass for the two-point
conversion.
Nashua South then
made inroads toward a
comeback by scoring on
each of its next two offensive possessions to slice
its deficit down to 22-13

with 4:05 still remaining on
the game clock. But the
visitors would climb no
closer as their hosts
chewed up some valuable
time with an offensive
foray of their own.
The Lancers finished
the night with 343 offensive yards via 224 rushing
yards and 119 passing
yards. South - which got
127 rushing yards from
senior quarterback Malik
Langa alone - tallied a total
of 263 offensive yards (171
rushing, 92 passing) on a
rough, losing night.

And while he and his
charges waited nearly a
week to find out from the
New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association (NHIAA) precisely
what the tournament pairings would be, the firstyear LHS coach had time
to impart his thoughts on
the 2014 campaign to that
point.
“This year has shown
that every team has a
chance to win on any

“To have success in the
playoffs, we will need to
give maximum effort, limit
our unforced errors, and
win the serve/receive battle.”

New Rabbi Takes Pulpit at Etz Hayim Synagogue in Derry
PENNY WILLIAMS
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
tz Hayim Synagogue
in Derry has a new
Rabbi.
And Rabbi Peter Levy
is new in more than one
sense,
having
been
ordained in May and
arriving at Etz Hayim in
August.
A down to earth man,
he recognizes the dreams
that built Etz Hayim and is
dedicating his efforts to
continuing them. Rabbi
Levy is just the fourth
Rabbi at Etz Hayim and is
thrilled with his first pulpit.
He brings a fresh,
E
energetic and enthusiastic approach to Etz
Hayim, and expressed
delight at being part of
the Etz Hayim SynagogueEpiscopal Church of the
Transfiguration interfaith
campus on Hood Road.
He is already working
with the Rev. Ray Bonin at
Transfiguration.
“I consider Rev. Ray a
colleague and a friend,”
Levy said. “I am attending
his Bible Study program
there and he is coming to
services here. It is a very
special relationship that
includes Elijah’s Table (a
free meal program).
“This Interfaith Campus is really what we need
Rabbi Peter Levy
in these days and times,”
he added. “There is so
much misunderstanding
that leads to mistrust. If
here I am at my first official pulpit,” he said. “A lot
has happened very quickly but I have received a
very warm welcome.”
Rabbi Levy is comfortable in his second career
and speaks happily about
seeing God in the turning
leaves and in a smile on a
child’s face. He is dedicated to continuing the
dreams the core of Etz
Hayim members have
that has brought the synagogue to where it is today.
“I don’t have any plans
for changes, rather I want
to offer some guidance,
some new insights and
continue to make Etz
Hayim the open, welcoming synagogue family that
it is today,” he said.
“Music is a big part of my
service and I recognize
that the more different
things and people we
draw on, the more people
we can bring in because
the world worked on a
similar basis as this cooperative venture, things
would be better. Sharing
these experiences with
Transfiguration
gives
both sides another set of
eyes, and we’ve had some
wonderful discussions. It
expands everyone’s horizons.
“The first step in a
good discussion is accepting that there is
another side, and we have
all been open to that,
allowing us all to establish common ground,” he
noted.
Rabbi Levy spent 30
years working in the textile industry, all the while
volunteering in para-rabbinical and cantoral duties at synagogues on
Long Island, N.Y.
“Seven or eight years
ago I decided to make it
my profession so I went to
school, and six years later
spiritually we are the
same. I want to reach out
through traditional liturgy, music, guided meditation and yoga as part of
my service, and there are
more ways in which we
can continue to grow. It is
amazing to me that the
Hebrew School has 40
children in it when we
have just about 70 families, but there is a breadth
of diversity and continuity here. I am looking to
continue and expand the
programs that are already
in place.
“They had the dream
and I come to stoke the
fire,” he said of the congregation’s founders.
“I am so looking forward to all of this, and it is
just such a beautiful
place,” he said.
Levy, his wife, and
their five cats live in Hudson.

Matthew Thornton Receives Circle of Excellence Award
KAITLYN G. WOODS
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
ommissioner of Education Virginia Barry
awarded Matthew
Thornton
Elementary
School the Commissioner’s Circle of Excellence
during a press conference
this month.
The Commissioner’s
C
Circle of Excellence, presented to five New Hampshire elementary schools
this year, recognizes
schools and districts that
aspire to excellence by
being bold and innovative
in order to provide the
best educational opportunities possible for children, Matthew Thornton
Principal Sharon Putney
told the School Board at
its Oct. 21 meeting.
Barry presented the
award to several members of the Matthew Thornton Faculty Council and
Putney during a press conference at the Legislative
Office Building in Concord.
Superintendent Nate Green-
berg and School Board
Chair Leitha Reilly also
attended the presentation.
Putney said the Commissioner mentioned in
her comments the school’s
commitment to communicating with parents and
community
members,
seeking alternative paths
to learning for students
and the warmth of the
school environment.
“We held a meeting following the day to share the
award with faculty and
staff,” Putnam said. “People were really honored
and excited the school was
chosen. We were really
happy.”
“That’s a wonderful tradition you’re continuing
over at Matthew Thornton
School,” Reilly said.
In other business:
• The School Board
recognized retiring Londonderry High School
custodian Paul Dovich for
his 25 years of service.
Hired in June of 1989
and promoted to day-shift
supervisor in 2007, Dovich’s expertise in minor
repairs and his knowledge
of the building was a benefit to the District, Reilly
said.
Officials noted that
Dovich, one of the high
school’s most long-standing custodians, was always kind and courteous
to staff and students, and
said functions in the building would run smoothly,
thanks to his ability to
plan ahead for the set-up.
“We thank you very
much for your 25 years of
service to the District, Mr.
Dovich,” Reilly said.
• The School Board’s
Nov. 4 meeting was cancelled due to the General
Election.

Musings of a Taphophile
SANDY DAHLFRED
LONDONDERRY HISTORICAL
SOCIETY
————––––––————–◆
am a taphophile. I admit
that freely. For those
unfamiliar with the
word, a taphophile is “an
individual who has a passion for and enjoyment of
cemeteries.”Another definition, with which I’m less
enamored, is “a person
with an abnormal love for
funerals, graves, and
cemeteries.”
At any rate, I’ve spent
countless hours prowling
New England graveyards
as part of my role as Family Genealogist. Along the
way I’ve come to appreciate them as more than
just locations for visiting
departed loved ones, or
genealogically, as keepers
of names and dates. Many
other benefits can be
enjoyed, and here are just
a few:
• You can expand your
vocabulary. On numerous
gravestones, especially
those in our older cemeteries, you’ll find the word
“relict.” Mrs. Wallace, relict of Capt. Robert Wallace, rests in the Old Hill
Graveyard. The word “relict” means “widow” and
comes from the Latin
word “relicta,” meaning
I
“forsaken, abandoned, left
untouched” (Sheesh!).
Another word you
might encounter is “consort,” as on the stone of
Mrs. Naomi Duncan, consort of Capt. William Duncan, both of whom are
buried in Old Hill. This
word has shady connotations, probably due to its
verb form, meaning “habitually associate with (someone), typically with the disapproval of others,” but in
this case simply means
“wife.” So my advice to you
is, don’t be a coimetrophobe; get out there and
learn some new words!
• You can brush up on
your Latin. The term “in
memoriam” has become
so common in our present-day language that it’s
practically English. Less
common is the phrase
“memento mori.” This
means, literally, “be mindful of death” or more
loosely, “remember you’re
not on this earth forever
so shape up and repent,
or at least do something
useful, before it’s too
late.”
This warning often
appears on early gravestones, such as that of Mr.
and Mrs. James Taggart in
Old Hill. Also in Old Hill,
humorous one.
But let’s not forget our
shared history with Derry’s
Forest Hill Cemetery.
There you’ll find a sentiment cast in stone on the
grave of James Ewins that
reads “my glass is rum” just a little stonecutter’s
“typo,” not meant to be
amusing or to in any way
imply that Mr. Ewins was
anything less than a sober
and exemplary citizen.
What he really meant was
“my glass is run,” referring to the running out of
sand in an hourglass, as
in, “my time is up.”
Anyway, I wonder if
our founders, the ScotsIrish, had no sense of
humor. Did they set a
precedent we’re reluctant
to break? I’d break it

expands on the sentiment: “Memento Mori - to

am in no particular hurry
to heed this caution
because as Yogi Berra
would say, “id imperfec-

ground. But if you’re hankering for some graveyard
humor, numerous books
on the subject have been
published.
I could go on and on
about this, one of my
favorite subjects, but I’m
out of time and space.
This might just be the
start of a series! Until next
time…

Museum Receives Grant to Expand High School Aviation Education
itizens Bank recently awarded a grant
of more than $5,000
from the Ann deNicola
Trust to the Aviation
Museum of New Hampshire in Londonderry.
The Ann deNicola Trust
provides grants for the
improvement and devel-
C
opment of general health,
education and welfare of
persons in New Hampshire. The Aviation Museum received the grant to
further its aviation education program titled “Virtual Skies,” which offers an
accredited course for high
school students geared to
building interest in science and technology, and
the diverse career paths
that exist within the aviation industry.
“This is the third year
we have offered this program,” said Museum President Bob Hough. “The
interest of New Hamp-
shire school districts and
the size of our class continues to grow year over
year. The Aviation Education program is offered
free of charge to New
Hampshire students. The
Museum does not receive
any federal, state or local
money to fund this educa-
tion program. The program is entirely dependent upon private funding.”
He said the new grant
will help improve and
expand the program to
more students from additional school districts.
The Aviation Museum
of New Hampshire’s Avia-
tion Education Program is
open to junior and senior
high school students in
the state. Among the topics covered are the
dynamics of flight, aviation weather, communications, airport design and
construction, and airframe design.

vent flooding.
“Do you have a timeline for when we will have
to bond to catch up with
the 12-year cycle?” asked
member Tim Siekmann.
“I don’t think I will get
the $2.4 million every
year for shim and overlay,
but that’s what we need,
and that’s not for reconstruction, that’s just for
maintaining the system,”
he said.
Library
Also presenting to the
committee was Pauline
Caron, treasurer of the
library Trustees.
Caron said last year’s
operating budget was $1.2
million and the only
increase the library is
seeking this year is $5,900
for books to bring the
funding level back up to
what is was in previous
years - at $110,000 for six
years in a row, and
$115,000 a couple years
before that.
Last year the budget
for books dropped to
$77,000, despite a dramatic increase in the library’s
usage, according to Caron,
who also noted the library
could always use more
computers.
Caron reported 1,305
children read 37,614
books during the summer
reading program from
June 1 to Sept. 6, and 503
young adults read 4,875
books as part of the popular program.
Staffing has also gone
down from 18 to 14
employees as use has
increased.
“It’s a struggle because
most of our employees
are part time,” said Caron.
“Yes, we have volunteers,
but volunteers can’t do all
the work in the library
because of patron security reasons.”
Auditorium
In a presentation to the
committee on the proposed community auditorium, Auditorium Committee Chairman Tony DeFrancesco told the Budget
Committee the project is a
good business decision
and the right next step for
Londonderry.
DeFrancesco reported
the operating costs for
the 800-seat auditorium
are estimated to come in
at $160,000 per year, but
he thinks they will be
much lower due to energy-efficient technology
included in the building
plans.
“I believe this number
is very high and will come
in considerably less than
this, plus rental fees will
help offset these costs,”
he said.
DeFrancesco said cost
savings of over $500,000
are also achieved in the
plans by not building a
pre-staging space, but
instead using the cafeteria for that purpose and
installing technology that
will allow performers in
the cafeteria pre-staging
area to watch live streaming of the performance
onstage.

School District Business Administrator Peter
Curro informed the Committee the School District
is nowhere near its debt
margin; and that just as
it’s not good to accrue too
much debt, it’s also bad
practice to fail to utilize
resources and invest
where needed when funds
are available.
Curro additionally noted a bond for a project at
Londonderry Middle School
in the amount of $10.6 million, approximately the
estimated cost of the
community auditorium,
will drop off before the
District would begin paying for a bond for the
auditorium, if it were to
move forward.
When asked what other
significant improvements
the School District may
need to complete moving
forward, Curro said the
only other project he
could see is a District
office.
“All major roof proj-
ects will have been done
by the time of the bond
for the auditorium,” he
said.
Chairman Ted Combes
asked DeFrancesco if there
are any major companies
that have expressed interest in building an auditorium such as the one proposed in Londonderry.
DeFrancesco said a lot
of private donations have
already come in for the
project and he has spoken
with companies that are
interested in a sponsorship, but none are willing
to commit funding until
they are sure the project
will move forward.
“They’re not going to
tie money up for something they aren’t sure will
go forward,” he said. “We
hope to get a favorable
vote on this; we think all
our ducks are in a line.”
A full report on the
proposed community auditorium is available online at www.londonderry.org.

Budget
from year to year until I
have at least $750,000 to
work on a road,” he said.
And that is just for “shim
and overlay,” a process
Czyzowski likens to
“painting your house.”
Czyzowski said because
he doesn’t have the funds
to reconstruct roads in
need, he has to shim and
overlay deteriorating
roads, which “is like painting on rust.
“Some people might
say we just paved this
road and it’s already
cracking. That’s because
we couldn’t afford to
rebuild it,” he said.
Total, full-depth reconstruction of the roads
costs approximately $1.6
million per mile.
Czyzowski additionally noted the importance
of maintaining detention
ponds and drainage systems in town, which pre-
