Former
Selectman Asks
for Resignation
of Two School
Board Members

by Kaylee Murphy
The weather could not have been any better
on Saturday the 18th when the Pelham Council
on Aging had its annual Strawberry Festival. It
was held both inside and outdoors at the Pelham
Senior Center. Every year they average between
150 to 200 people. Seniors and volunteers were
hard at work as they made and served strawberry
shortcakes as well as hamburgers and hot dogs.
This year the Strawberry Festival had a variety
of entertainment for the whole family. A magician
by the name of BJ Hickman performed using
volunteers of all ages from the audience. Earlier
OHalloran Irish Step Dancers performed inside
the senior center. DJ Tommy Demurs played
songs inside. Creations By The Sea set up a photo
booth outside in the corner of the yard. Claire
Cheerio Marcotte did creative balloon animals
and hats. People of all ages were wearing her
impressive balloon work. Two different craft
venders set up booths for people to buy various
works. There were also five different raffle
baskets, a 50/50, and door prizes.

Kristyn D., Joanne N., Susan B. and Paul P. keep busy making everybody strawberry shortcakes.

This past week, former selectman and former
school board member Al Letizio, Jr. posted
comments on his Facebook Page asking for the
immediate resignation of two sitting school board
members, namely Tom Murray and Ken Eyring.
Letizio didnt go into much detail in his post,
but did comment that he believes Eyring and
Murray are largely responsible for the significant
number of administrators leaving the Windham
School District, an exodus that has ramped up
during the past several months. Fairly recent
departures include Business Administrator
Adam Steel, Facilities Director John Pratte, Fine
Arts Director Jared Cassedy and, most recently,
Windham Middle School Principal Patti Wons.
A portion of Letizios post read: We have
a culture of incompetence with three board
members who set the tone for the district; much
like a corporations board of directors influences
the CEO and top management of a corporation.
This is a direct effect of the poor leadership we
have in place right now and thats why Im calling
for each of them to resign today, Although Letizio
mentioned three school board members in his
post, he later clarified that he was not including
Chairman Daniel Popovici-Muller in his demand
for resignations, just Murray and Eyring.
Letizios post did not remain online for very

New Hires;
Another
Resignation for
Windham School
District
by Barbara OBrien
In preparation for the new school year, which
gets underway on July 1, Windham School
District administrators are unusually busy seeking
candidates to replace staff that has resigned or is
being replaced for other reasons.
Newly hired Superintendent Richard Langlois
takes on the top job in the Windham School
District on July 1. He is replacing Interim
Superintendent Tina McCoy, who was hired for a
one-year stint.
The most recent resignation comes from
Windham Middle School Principal Patty Wons,
who has accepted a lateral position with the
Exeter School District. Wons, who only worked
for the Windham School District for one year, will
take on her new duties at Exeters Cooperative
Middle School on July 1. Wons informed the
Windham School District of her decision to accept
the job in Exeter on June 22. Brenda Morrow
is currently the assistant principal at Windham
Middle School.
Replacing outgoing Business Administrator
Adam Steel is William Hickey, who will assume
his new duties on July 19. Steel, who is taking
on a similar position in the Amherst/Mont Vernon
School District, wrapped up his responsibilities in
Windham as of June 30.

Steve Caruso: A Remarkable Journey

as Saint Patricks Music Director
by Glenn
Krzeminski
Steve Caruso
has begun the
next stanza of his
life. He had been
a constant at Saint
Patricks Parish in
Pelham as its music
director for 15
years amid many
changes in the
pastors. He was
that familiar face
that parishioners
grew accustomed
to seeing each
week. Among his
many responsibilities, Steve played piano and sang at the 4 p.m. mass on
Saturday and the two Sunday morning masses. The musical accompaniment
he created for the various masses, along with the choir he led, provided a
seamless and beautiful setting for the gospel.
I learned at a very young age how to entertain, how to do what I did here
because I have done it for years, said Steve, who retired this June as the
music director. I always did music somewhere whether it be here (Saint
Patricks), in high school, in college. Saint Pauls (which he attended as a
child) was a school where when you graduated the director said it was the
equivalent of a Bachelor of Arts degree in music because of the nature of the
curriculum.
And yet, Steves talents extend beyond music. Before he entered
pharmaceutical sales, Steve worked in college admissions and later at the

Boston Herald writing sports stories. Many parishioners were

unaware that throughout his stint as music director, Steve
worked full time for Lahey Health as the regional manager
for physicians in the Merrimack Valley and southern New
Hampshire. He currently oversees and assists around 800
physicians in the area, specialists and primary care. Coming
from a medical family
Staff photos by Glenn Krzeminski
made it an easy
transition for him to
the pharmaceutical
industry.
Steves introduction
to music came
early. He picked
up the accordion
at the age of four.
While growing up,
he played many
percussion instruments, including
the recorder, guitar, and drums,
along with the piano. He learned
how to read music well at a very
young age and, as a result, in the
fifth grade he auditioned for Saint
Pauls Choir School in Cambridge,
Steve Caruso
Mass. In order to get into the school
you had to sing a very difficult song, then you had to march to show that
you understood rhythm, and you had to be able to read confidently from the
sanctuary. He attended Saint Pauls for four music-filled years. Amazingly,
Steve estimates that he performed in about 1,500 concerts during his
childhood.

Two Candidates for Town

Planner Decline Offers
by Barbara OBrien
The Town of Windham is still
searching for someone to fill the
vacancy of town planner left when
Elizabeth Wood resigned from that
position several months ago.
Selectmen thought they had filled
the position, not once, but twice,
but such was not the case. Both
candidates who were offered the job
last month declined to accept.
During the June 20 board meeting,
Town Administrator David Sullivan
said the search needs to continue,
as there are no viable candidates
remaining. Plans are to re-advertise
the position in hopes of attracting

new applicants. Sullivan said the

hiring process takes about five weeks
to complete and, if someone is hired,
it would be about eight weeks until
he or she could start.
Selectmen voted 3 to 1 to readvertise for the job of town planner.
Voting in favor were Selectmen
Bruce Breton, Jennifer Simmons
and Roger Hohenberger. Voting
against re-advertising and reopening
a discussion on restructuring
the Community Development
Department was Vice-Chairman Ross
McLeod. Chairman Joel Desilets was
away on business at the time the vote
was taken.

Auxiliary
Garners Multiple
Awards at the
VFW State
Convention
by Lynne Ober
Many community groups actively support their
communities, but few have been more active
than the Auxiliary members of Pelhams John
H. Hargreaves Memorial VFW Post 10722. At
the recent VFW State Convention, the members
received numerous awards and most were for first
place.
Pelham residents will not be surprised that
the members received first place for community
service as they are visible at many community
events from Old Home Day to Concerts on the
Green. Recently they formed a team to walk in
the Relay for Life and one of the members was
acknowledged at the event for being the top
fundraiser.
All of the members made this happen, said
Madeline Dreusicke. We enjoy participating in
the community.
In addition to first place for community
service, the group also received the
following awards:
Scholarship - second place
Hospital - first place. This was earned
because of their support for veterans in the
Veterans Hospital.
Legislative - first place
Americanism - first place
Chief of Staff - first place
Youth - first place.
VFS - first place
Membership first place
Extension Program - first place
We were honored to receive these awards
because each of us has worked hard, stated
Dreusicke. This is what the Auxiliary is all about
and the work we do to support and care for our
veterans as well as our community. We should be
very proud of everything we do as an individual
as well as part of our family at the post.

Pelham - Windham News | July 1, 2016 - 3

by Lynne Ober
Put simply, it was a party to stop cancer. This
Saturday the 8th Annual Relay for Life event was, once
again, held on Harris Track in Pelham. It has been a
long-standing tradition during the opening ceremony
to recognize volunteers who have made a difference.
This year Madeline Dreusicke was honored with a
handmade walking stick as the volunteer who had
made the most impact on the event. House Speaker
Shawn Jasper was also given a plaque for leading the
House of Representatives in supporting more health
care in the state. Team captains were introduced and
the top fundraisers were acknowledged to a round of
applause. As always, stories of remembrance and of
loss to cancer were often recounted.
This years participants brought in more than $31,000
and donations will continue to be accepted through
August on the Pelham Relay for Life website. In all,
166 participants, individually and as members of 23
different teams, took part in the relay. In the past three
years, more than $115,000 has been raised.
Breast cancer survivor Marie Maruca of Pelham,
cancer free for five years, sang the national anthem this
year. She was also a member of the relays planning
committee. I was one of the lucky ones where my
cancer way diagnosed early and I was able to treat it
and beat it, said Maruca, who had gotten the all-clear
message from her doctor just the day before. Last
year, she was invited to the relay to speak as a cancer
survivor. She was incredibly moved by the support of
everyone around her. I had my community clapping
for me and proud of me, she said. I not only cried
at that moment because of my happiness to have
survived and because of the love I felt, but I cried at
the realization of the pride I had at that moment in my
community.
The first lap of every Relay for Life event celebrates
cancer survivors. The Honor Guard from the Pelham
John H. Hargreaves Memorial Post 10722 Veterans
of Foreign Wars led the lap. An enthusiastic group of
survivors joined in the lap.
Relay for Life events have a long history. In May
1985, Dr. Gordy Klatt walked and ran for 24 hours
around a track in Tacoma, Wash., ultimately raising
$27,000 to help the American Cancer Society fight the
nations biggest health concern cancer. A year later,
340 supporters joined the overnight event. Since those
first steps, the Relay For Life movement has grown
into a worldwide phenomenon, raising nearly $5
billion to fight cancer. This event brings survivors and
community members together to fight the many faces
of cancer.

Relay for Life Supporters Descend Once Again on Harris Field

Jay Gibbons gets the team together for a group photo just before the walking began.

Jane Croteau, a cancer survivor, walks arm in arm with her

husband, Romeo, during the survivors lap.
Every team was urged to walk the second lap
together and some were fast while others took their
time. Various teams featured walkers of all ages. Teams
with small children mingled with adult teams. Some
teams are organized around the death of a loved one.
The goal is for each team to have at least one-member
walking on the track throughout the event. Teams and
individual members also raise funds that are donated to
cancer research.
If youve never been to a Relay for Life event,
toe-tapping music fills the air and events happen
continually. At Pelham, the DJ said for one dollar hed
play any song you wanted and for a donation of two
dollars to the fight against cancer he would stop playing
any song you didnt like.
As the hours passed, a number of activities occurred.
Between 4 and 5 p.m. you could participate in a pie
eating contest or join the scavenger hunt. Later a long
Conga line formed as participants danced their way
around the track.
One of the most moving laps is the Luminaria
Ceremony, which takes place after dark, so participants
can remember people lost to cancer, honor people who

One of the teams participating in Relay for Life in Pelham

have fought cancer in the past, and support
those whose fight continues. Candles are lit
inside of personalized bags and are placed
around the Relay track as glowing tributes to
those whove been affected by cancer. This
year everyone was asked to bring canned
goods to sit inside the bags. Once the event
was over, the donated canned goods were

taken to the Pelham Food Pantry.

But the fun didnt stop here, there was a
Zumba party in the infield after that and the
music kept playing.
By 11 p.m. participants were already
vowing to do it again and to raise more
money than ever before.

School District Responds to Allegations

by Former Human Resources Director
by Barbara OBrien
The Windham School District, now designated
as SAU 95, is vehemently objecting to allegations
being made by former Human Resources Director
Carol St. Pierre, regarding alleged discrimination,
harassment and inappropriate behavior by several
top administrators.
St. Pierre, who resigned from her position
about a year ago, had worked as the human
resources director since July of 2011. When first
hired, St. Pierre was employed by SAU 28, which
included Pelham and Windham. Three years ago,
however, Windham voters decided to divorce
Pelham, and Windham became a stand-alone
school administrative unit. Both SAUs 28 and 95
are named in the litigation filed in Rockingham
County Superior Court in Brentwood. St. Pierre
is being represented by Attorney William Pribis of
Concord.
The Windham School District is being
represented by Attorney Dona Feeney of Concord.
Although not considered as defendants in the
case, as it is the SAU that is being sued, the list
of participants being accused of wrongdoing
includes outgoing Business Administrator Adam
Steel, former Superintendents Henry LaBranche
and Winfried Feneberg and current Curriculum,
Instruction and Assessment Director Kori Becht.
The case is being considered by Superior Court
Judge Marguerite Wageling. St. Pierre has asked
that the civil case be heard by a jury. No specific
monetary request from St. Pierre was included in
the original court paperwork, although claims are
that the damages are substantial.
Although St. Pierre resigned from her job
with the Windham School District, she is citing
wrongful discharge due to what she claims
became an intolerable work environment.
St. Pierre of Salem currently works for the
Rockingham County Sheriffs Department, a
position she claims pays substantially less than
she was earning in Windham.

In paperwork filed by Attorney Feeney on June

21, she denies and or disputes literally every claim
made by St. Pierre, saying that the statements
were either blatantly false or situations had been
misconstrued by St. Pierre. St. Pierre alleges that
discriminatory and harassing behavior was not
just aimed at her, but at other employees, as well,
and when she complained to administrators her
concerns were not appropriately addressed, but,
in fact, she was subjected to hostile treatment,
instead. St. Pierre claims that her alleged
treatment was in conflict with New Hampshire
state statutes.
St. Pierre also complained that Becht and
Steel had abused the graduate course tuition
reimbursement policy for the school district, using
far more of the available funds than allowed. At
the time, Steel was obtaining his superintendents
certification and Becht her doctorate degree.
Feeney disputed this claim, however, saying
that Becht and Steels reimbursements had been
district-approved.
Another complaint listed by St. Pierre was
that she had unfairly been removed from the
superintendent search sub-committee, shortly
before she left her employment in Windham, as a
form of punishment. Feeney said that was not the
case; that St. Pierre was replaced on the search
committee because Steel was one of the final
candidates being considered and St. Pierre had
already proclaimed her concerns with some of his
behavior.
Feeney noted that administrators had offered to
provide a job coach for St. Pierre in an attempt to
improve the working environment between her
and some of the other staff, but this offer had been
declined by St. Pierre.
Feeney is also asking that one particular
statement included in the paperwork filed by St.
Pierre, alleging that Steel inappropriately used a
district-issued laptop computer, be struck from the
court record. Feeney declared that this statement

was intended to tarnish Steels reputation.

Steel and LaBranche have both denied any
wrongdoing while employed by the Windham
School District. They both commented that the
truth would come out should the case move
forward to a trial. Attempts to contact St. Pierre
and Feneberg have been unsuccessful. Feneberg

is now the superintendent of the Kearsarge School

District and LaBranche has retired.
No trial date has yet been set, nor have any
preliminary hearings been scheduled. Attorneys
for both sides, however, are expected to file a
preliminary plan, to assist in moving the case
forward, in the next couple of weeks.

The Word Around Town...

Letters to our Editor

a man that cares does not act this Way

With ever-increasing regularity, Donald Trump tries to portray himself
as an economic champion for the working class. Indeed, if one were to
take his self-congratulatory claims at face value, one may even start to
believe it to be the case.
What stands in the way of Trumps empty appeals is his proven track
record of doing everything he can to be a thorn in the side of working
class families. At his worst, he has been far more than a thorn in the side.
Hes ruthlessly ruined livelihoods.
For at the heart of every decision Trump makes, the factor that guides
him is whether he profits in one form another. His campaign itself is little
more than a lucrative transaction for his ego.
Fittingly, he operates the same way when he conducts business. It all
boils down to his own bottom line, and he does not care about the already
vulnerable Americans he crushes in the process.
Trump has time and again refused to pay his own wage employees so he
can add more to his inherited fortune. He would rather take contractors
to court than pay the wages he agreed to pay to his workers.
Its just one big game for Trump. While he takes cases to court to pass
the time and showcase his greed, the budgets of American families he
swindled are mired in uncertainty.
A man that cares about his fellow countrymen does not act in this way.
Krysten Evans, Pelham

Strawberry festival was terrific

Every year we have a delicious lunch at the Pelham Senior Center
Strawberry Festival. The weather was absolutely terrific for lunch outside
under the tent. This year the strawberries were especially delectable.
While we didnt arrive in time to enjoy dancing by the OHalloran Irish
Dancers, we got a big kick out of magician BJ Hickman as he charmed

the audience with his antics. Many of the attendees wore fancy balloon
hats created by Claire Marcotte, who owns Balloons by Cheerios. We
plan to return next year as well.

In My Opinion...
VRA Restoration Bills Ensure
that All Have a Voice
by Alejandro Urrutia
Saturday, June 25, marked three years since the Shelby County v.
Holder Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision removed the Voting Rights
Act (VRA) provision requiring state and local governments to obtain
federal approval before amending voting laws. This unfortunate
decision led to widespread voting discrimination across America.
In the wake of the Shelby decision, states and localities that
were no longer under federal oversight pushed through laws
that have increased barriers to voting, resulting in a torrent of
voter discrimination. A previously active voters have been
disenfranchised, voting strength of people of color and language
minorities has been diluted and voters have suffered inexcusable
obstructions to their right to vote.
The Republican congressional leadership is now obstructing two
bipartisan bills that would restore the VRA, thereby allowing voting
suppression to continue unchecked.
Since the VRA was eliminated, we have seen an alarming
increase in state legislation that creates barriers to voting and
undermines the voting strength of people of color and language
minorities. States and localities are making it harder for minorities
to participate in our democratic political system.
If the VRA were still intact, state legislators would have been
required to prove that changes to state voting laws would not
deny voting rights to minorities. But freed from oversight and

accountability, these states and localities are disenfranchising

thousands of their citizens.
Although a handful of Republican lawmakers have stepped
up to support the bipartisan legislation to restore the VRA, many
members of Congress have refused to take action to move the bills.
By refusing to act, lawmakers have been complicit in turning back
the clock on 50 years of progress to ensure that all Americans have
the right to vote. This is why, with the upcoming election, NH need
change now. In recent primaries we have seen the widespread
voter discrimination minorities have faced. Unless
Congress acts soon, 2016 will be the first presidential election
in 50 years where voters will lack the full protections of the VRA to
combat racial discrimination in voting.
These VRA restoration bills are bipartisan, with broad support
from voters from all races, parties and beliefs. Most importantly,
these bills are desperately needed to ensure that all Americans,
including minorities, can fully exercise our right to vote. Senators
were elected to represent and, heading into the 2016 presidential
election, they need to ensure that all have a voice and a vote by
supporting a VRA restoration.
In My Opinion is strictly an OP-ED column that stands on the
opinion of one writer, Alejandro Urrutia, as opposed to a newspaper
reporter who does not provide an opinion but reports the facts. This
column, in many instances, is a counterpoint to published stories
and does not reflect the unbiased reporting policy of the Hudson
Litchfield News or the opinion of the management, advertisers and
ownership of Area News Group.

Try my Guide
to Europe
and Live
All About
ME a Little

I know that with the whole Brexit thing that some of you might
be apprehensive to travel to Europe.
Basically the Republicans think that Britain leaving the
European Union is a good thing and the Democrats think its
a bad thing. People focus way too much on why events and
certain situations are good or bad. Sometimes things are what
they are. They are just facts and they are just events. The people
voted. It was their choice. It was democracy at work. People
should be celebrating that humanity has come as far as to allow
the people of Britain to vote and then to honor their wishes by
separating peacefully from the EU. There was no war. Instead
we have the Democrats shouting that the people were wrong
and Europe needs to be united. Then we have the Republicans
(by Republicans I mean Trump) rejoicing in Britains new found
independence. Im just happy that it was done democratically
and without a war. Not sure if that makes me simple or naive.
What will this mean for Europe going forward? Im not sure.
Might more countries pull out? Maybe. Will Britain suffer some
immediate financial repercussions? Definitely. As of what will
happen to Europe and Britain overall? I dont know. Will it be
safe to travel? I dont think it will be any more dangerous than
the U.S.
The threat of terrorism shouldnt prevent U.S. citizens from
enjoying Europe. I dont know the exact statistics, but I dont
think that the threat of a terrorist attack happening in Europe is
any greater than a terrorist attack in the U.S. I also dont think
that most European cities are any more dangerous than say
Chicago or Detroit.
If you are feeling apprehensive about Europe due to the
migrant crisis, Brexit, and possible terrorist attacks, I would
probably avoid Eastern Europe. Do go to Croatia though because
it is absolutely stunning! The waterfalls are just breathtaking.
Northern Europe would probably be the safest bet. A lot of those
countries were recently name as the safest countries according to
Easy Planet Travel. Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland,
and Ireland all made the list. Those countries are going to be
much more expensive than lets say Greece, but they will be
much safer.
Anyways, enough of the serious talk and the gloom and doom.
Its summer time! Everyone is thinking about their amazing
summer plans. Obviously I recommend going to Europe.
Im obsessed with traveling. What can I say, I like expensive
hobbies. Americans kind of have a bad reputation in Europe.
We go there and were loud, rude and obnoxious. Plus we dont
handle our liquor as well as they do.
Europeans can spot an American from a mile away; they
can even tell us apart from the Canadians. Unless I hear a
Canadian speak, I cant even do that. Europeans also think that
all Americans are similar to the ones they see on our reality TV
shows. So basically crazy, dumb, over emotional, and a bunch
of drunks.
If you do plan on going anywhere in Europe this summer,
follow my guidelines and you just may not be disliked and you
will have a super fun time!
Unless you know how to drive a standard I wouldnt
recommend renting a car in Europe. Its harder to find an
automatic to rent. Trying to figure it out on a rental car in a
foreign country is a bad idea. Some of the drivers there are
absolutely crazy. Plus the roads may be slightly difficult to
navigate depending on where you are. I would just stick to
public transportation.
In Ireland tell people that you are from Boston. They love
Boston. They call it their little Dublin. If you say youre from
New Hampshire theyre going to give you a strange look because
no one knows where New Hampshire is. People who live in
America dont know where New Hampshire is.
Italy is one of the few countries where the people absolutely
love Americans. I dont know why. Try to avoid Naples though,
especially at night, as you will get robbed. Make Pompeii a
day trip from Rome. They have a high-speed train, so you can
definitely get there and back in a day. If you go to Pompeii in
the summer there isnt a lot of shade and it is unbearably hot. So
wear a ton of sunscreen because you will burn and it will be bad
and it will ruin your trip.
Never ask why something isnt in English or why nobody
speaks English. I was in some museum when I heard a loud
American ask in a southern drawl why something wasnt in
English. I was embarrassed. When youre in a foreign country
you cant just demand English. It doesnt work like that. If
someone went up to you in the U.S and just started talking to
you in a foreign language you would just be like um no. Just
deal with it and figure it out quietly to yourself. Most tourist
places and main cities will have people that speak English, with
the exception of Hungary. It was hard finding people who spoke
English in Hungary.
There are also no well fed people in Europe, for lack of a
better phrase. I thought I saw a well fed European person
once, but then they opened their mouth I realized that they were
American.
Dont try to be cool and say football when talking about soccer
in Europe. Just say soccer -- they know what you mean. They
will make fun of you for it. If you say football theyll think youre
talking about American football and everyone is going to get
confused. Football Hooliganism isnt as big as a problem as
it once was, but it still is a problem. Just dont watch a football
game at a non-touristy pub and pay attention to which teams are
playing. Some have a bigger rivalry than others.
Here is some terminology so you dont get confused while
talking to someone when youre over there. Hens and stags are
bachelor and bachelorette parties, the queue means a line, and
pissed means drunk not angry.
The best thing to see is the Red Light District in Amsterdam.
It is perfectly safe. Obviously dont bring any children with
you. Its just a sight that you have to see. Going in a completely
opposite direction, the Vatican is the most stunning building
you will ever see. There are also the Plitvice Lakes in Croatia.
Neuschwanstein Castle in Munich is the one that Walt Disney
modeled Cinderellas Castle after. Take the tour inside, its
breathtaking. Go on the old rickety bridge that always has
hundreds of people on it. Although you might fall to your death
because all the sharp and pointy rocks down below, it is where
you get the best picture.
Europe is fun, and, even with everything going on, I still
recommend going. Its good to see a little bit of culture and
experience the world. If you live your life in your own little
world its gonna get boring and lonely. Live a little.

Carol E. Quigley, 73, of Windham,

died on June 23, 2016, at home with her
husband William F. Quigley at her side.
She was born on June 27, 1942, in Lowell,
Mass., to Clifford and Rita (Boucher) Jordan.
Her biggest success was her family
and friends. She was master of all trades,
reproduction doll making, sewing and
antiquing with her Gram, knitting and crocheting and
spending time and adventures with her grandchildren and
great-grandchildren. There wasnt anything she couldnt do
once she put her mind to it.
She was known and loved for her devotion to the
veterans. She held membership in the American Legion
Auxiliary Unit 247 of Tyngsborough, Mass., for 28 years,
she has served 15 years as Treasurer for ALA Unit 247.
She served as an Executive Committee Member of ALA
Unit 247. She was active for many years in service to the
veterans suppers served on a monthly basis at American
Legion Post 247.
She served as a member and officer of the American
Legion Auxiliary Middlesex County District Five Inc. for
25 years. She served as Jr. Vice, Sr. Vice and held the
office of Middlesex County District Five Director three
times in service. She held the position of Edith Nourse
Rogers Veterans Memorial Hospitals (Bedford, Mass.) VA
Voluntary Service Representative for many years.
She held the position of Department of Massachusetts
Membership Chairman for two years. She had received
many awards for outstanding service to the American
Legion Auxiliary Department of Massachusetts and the
American Legion Auxiliary National Organization.
She followed in the footsteps of her mother, Rita Corey,
and her sister, Ruthann Musick, who were members of
American Legion Post 247 and American Legion Auxiliary

Unit 247. She was a proud ALA Member in service and

will be long remembered as such. After being appointed
VAVS Representative at the Bedford VA Medical Center
in 2012, Carol had a vision to change the Christmas Gift
Shop to give gifts to hospitalized veterans in this facility,
instead of sending gifts to their family members who
seldom visited them. Many thought this was impossible,
however Carol was advised to contact the National VAVS
Chairman, Janet Jeffers. National thought this was a
great idea and new concept. So in 2014 Carol started
taking sizes and wishes in order to give two or three gifts
to hospitalized veterans. At the April Past Department
Presidents Luncheon, Carol was presented a citation
from the national organization for her outstanding
volunteer accomplishments. On hand for this presentation
was the American Legion Auxiliary National President
Sharon Conaster. Carol also served the Department of
Massachusetts American Legion Auxiliary as Membership
Chairman since 2012. Membership is the blood core of
the organization, therefore a truly important committee.
Carol served as a District 5 Middlesex County Director and
has been serving as District Treasurer for several years.
She is survived by her husband of 57 years, William F.
Quigley; daughter, Marie E. Quigley, and her children,
Tatiana M. Terry, Chelsey L. Shepard and Taylor P. Ewen;
daughter, CherylAnne Quigley, and her children, Brandon
W. Brownell and Sean C. Brownell; great-grandchildren,
McKenzy, Joshua, Adaline, Abel and Ava. She is also
survived by her brother, Herbert Jordan, and many nieces
and nephews. All funeral services were private.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Carols
name to the Bedford VA Medical Center, 200 Springs Rd.,
Bedford, Mass; and online at www.pay.gov/public/form/
entry/101. To share an online message of condolence with
the family, please visit www.dumontsullivan.com.

Being a family-owned, three-generation business is important to us here at the

Dumont-Sullivan Funeral Home. This emphasis was set from its beginning in 1949 when
Leo A. Dumont, Sr. founded the funeral home with a code of

Trust, Respect, & Personal Care.

Our History

Leo, Sr. an alumnus of Nashua High School, served in World War II as a Staff
Sergeant in the Army Medical Corps from 1942-1945. Upon his return home,
he went to Boston, MA and attended New England Institute of Anatomy and
Mortuary Science (NEI) where he received his diploma in Funeral Directing
and Embalming. In 1949, at his residence on Ferry St., in Hudson, NH he
constructed a funeral home. The Leo A. Dumont Funeral Home proved to be a
personal success as well as a success to the community. In 1967, another
Leo A. Dumont Funeral Home was established on Kinsley St., in Nashua, NH.
It would remain there until 1978.
Many changes took place between 1972-1979. With confidence and support
from his wife Theresa, an addition was built to the Ferry St. location. The
Nashua location was sold and the Sullivan Brothers Funeral Home on Spring St. in Nashua was purchased. With this new
venture brought about needed help. Who better then Leo, Sr.'s son. Leo A. Dumont, Jr., a graduate of Alvirne High School and
1967 graduate of NEI, joined with his father in 1969. The two worked hand in hand for many years together.
The 1980s and 90s brought about even more changes to the
funeral homes. The construction of a new County Court House in
Nashua forced yet another move for the Nashua funeral home.
A new location of 370 Main St. was found. Renovations of a
former boarding house began and a new combined name for
both the Hudson and Nashua homes was erected. The DumontSullivan Funeral Home, now with one combined name, continues
to have two convenient locations to better serve the community.
As the new
millennium came,
High top tables to enjoy a cup of freshly brewed coffee.
Leo A. Dumont III
opted to join the family business. He is a 1993 graduate of Bishop Guertin High
School, a 1997 graduate of St. Joseph's College, and a 2000 graduate of NEI. With
the passing of Leo., Sr. in 2000 and the new perspectives of Leo III, a major
renovation and construction project took place at the Hudson facility. In 2003,
changes to the facility allowed for families to relax in the comfort of a lounge area
and we introduced the areas first children's room and DVD Tribute program. In
2007, an eager young apprentice named Kade Stewart was hired. Becoming a full

long, however, as he chose to remove it the

following morning, stating that he had learned
of a personal crisis being experienced by the
Murray family and did not want to create any
more stress or aggravation for them. He even
sent a message to Murray expressing his and
his wifes condolences. Letizio wrote: Patti
and I just learned of your familys news and the
challenges you are facing. I have immediately
removed political posts that I made that might
cause you any additional pain or burden during
this difficult time. Its times like these when we
all are reminded about what is truly important
in life. We want you to know that our hearts
and prayers are with you and that we are
willing to do anything for you and your family
to bring support and assistance.
But Murray wasnt so quick to just overlook
what Letizio had written on Facebook. It is
difficult for me to take Als comments regarding
my family sincerely, Murray said. I find Al to
be very disingenuous.
Unfortunately, by the time Letizio removed
his post from Facebook, several people had
already responded to his comments and word
had gotten back to Murray about the demand
for his and Eyrings resignation. Murray,
after learning of the comments on Facebook,
informed Eyring. Both Eyring and Murray were
aggravated by the post and questioned whether
or not Letizios letter of condolence and
withdrawal of the post was genuine. I dont
understand why Al would even suggest that Ken
and I resign, Murray said. I will let my voting
record speak for itself, he said. I will defend
any and all decisions that I have made with
fact. I welcome debate, Murray emphasized.
During a phone conversation this past
weekend, Murray stated that he has never
criticized or harassed any staff members and
is astounded that simply asking questions has
caused such an uproar. Im not going to let
them bring me down in the mud, Murray said
of those who might want him to resign. I have
no intention of resigning; no plans to resign!
he stated emphatically. Im very excited about
the new superintendent and the new business
administrator coming on board, Murray said.
What Im sick of is all the animosity and
negativity. Although, due to confidentiality
issues, he couldnt be more specific, Murray
did say that Eyring and he are not the cause of
good employees leaving the Windham School
District.
Murray said this recent incident with Letizio
reminded him of a situation that arose when
he was running for school board. Murray was
publically endorsed by New Hampshire State
Representative Mary Griffin and had a letter
stating as much. Letizio, reportedly, accused
Murray of forging Griffins signature and when
Murray presented the original letter with
Griffins signature, Letizio still refused to recant
his comments. I remember vividly how upset
my wife was of the fact that he was publically
calling me a liar, Murray said, adding that
Letizio has never even had the decency to
apologize.
Murray noted that 1,735 residents cast their
ballots for him on Election Day. Thats a lot
of people who supported me, he continued.
Im certainly not going to let them down by
resigning. I will never allow Al to bully me
out of office!
During a conversation with Eyring this past
weekend, he echoed much of what Murray
had said earlier in the day. Eyring stated
that residents should be pleased when board
members ask for additional information and
strive to understand what is taking place
within the school district. Eyring said that
he and Murray have devoted countless hours
toward building a more efficient and fiscally
responsible school district. Referring to
school district employees, Eyring said he has
never uttered one negative word about any of
the administrators or other staff. I am very
respectful of everyone associated with the
school district, he added.
Mr. Letizios antics to falsely disparage
good people are nothing new, Eyring said.

disagreed with him. Prior to the March 2015
school board elections, Mr. Letizio posted
fabricated accusations on his Facebook page
that led people to falsely believe that Tom
Murray had committed a crime by forging State
Representative Mary Griffins signature on an
endorsement letter. Then, earlier this year, at
the deliberative session, he verbally accosted
school board candidate Eileen Mashimo and
State Representative Dave Bates for doing their
job as Supervisors of the Voter Checklist, as
defined by law, Eyring continued. There is
an ugly pattern to his lack of sensitivity and
respect, Eyring stated. Even more disturbing
is Mr. Letizios recent Facebook post regarding
another baseless attack while Mr. Murrays
family is preoccupied with his youngest son in
the hospital battling leukemia. Letizio has said
that he didnt know about Murrays son being
ill until after he had posted his demands for
resignation.
Former School Board Chairman Barbara
Coish was one of the people who read
Letizios Facebook post, causing her to recall
a similar situation that occurred in 2008.
Coish explained that Letizio had called for
both her and Beverly Donovans resignations
when the two had taken exception with some
issues supported by then Superintendent
Frank Bass. The issue that reportedly brought
the disagreement to a head was related to
Bass purchase of a $1,000 computer desk
chair, at a time that the budget was extremely
tight. Bass did not seek approval from the
school board before making the purchase, nor
was the money for the chair in the approved
budget. Letizio reportedly said Coish and
Donovan were ignoring the chain of command
and causing unnecessary conflicts for Bass.
Neither Coish nor Donovan ever considered
resigning. Instead, the entire school board
was told to participate in counseling sessions,
so they could learn to work together in a
more amicable manner. Those sessions
were provided by a counselor from the New
Hampshire School Boards Association.
This situation reminds me of when I was
asked to resign for making the superintendent
unhappy, Coish wrote on Facebook, prior to
Letizios post being removed. Of course, I
did not resign and neither did Bev [Donovan],
Coish said. There should be no resignations.
We need to learn to live with our differences,
she said.
In a follow-up post to Coishs comment,
Letizio denied ever asking for their resignations.
We may have had our differences on the
school board, but I never called for your
resignation, Letizio wrote.
Coish said his call for their resignations
did happen and cited several comments from
articles in the Pelham~Windham News, the
Boston Globe and Eagle Tribune to that effect.
Its his pattern, Coish said of Letizio. She
also quoted an editorial that had appeared in
the Salem Observer, on Feb. 8, 2008, stating
that Letizio was over-reacting by asking for
Coish and Donovan to step down. True, they
are often on the other side of a vote, the editor
wrote. True, theyve criticized Bass. But
thats what we want in our elected officials,
he continued. Board members should be
able to voice opinions. At the end of the day,
the editor wrote, Its really up to the voters to
decide if someone is doing a good job!
When contacted for a final comment on
the issue, Letizio responded by saying, I have
withdrawn my earlier political comment on
social media out of respect for the Murray
family and personal challenges that I recently
learned they are facing. I ask all Windham
residents to put politics aside and come
together for this great family when they need it
most and join me in offering them our support.

Route 93 Re-Construction Moving Farther North

by Barbara OBrien
To many Windham area residents it seems that the reconstruction
of Interstate Route 93, which slices right through this town of nearly
16,000 residents, has been going on for an eternity. While thats an
exaggeration, it has been about 10 years since the New Hampshire
Department of Transportation set up shop in the Town of Windham to
focus on the Exit 3 area.
The entire reconstruction project includes a 20-mile stretch from the
Massachusetts state line to the I-293 split in Manchester. In addition
to widening the highway to three lanes in both north and southbound
directions, the overhaul also includes three major components:
modernizing exits 1 through 5, rebuilding 45 bridges (including 19
that are red-listed), and the construction of three new Park n Ride
facilities (exits 2, 3 and 5). The Park n Rides, overpass bridges and
the establishment of commuter bus service were among the first to be
tackled.
The work began in the southernmost area of the project, with exits 2
and 3 being the first to be addressed. Work on exit 3 got underway in
2008 and is scheduled to be completed later this year.
In order to provide an update to the community, Windham
Community Development Director Laura Scott hosted a forum with
DOT Project Coordinator Wendy Johnson on June 22. The conference
room was fairly crowded; mostly with people who arent generally
seen at town or school meetings. Approximately 40 people were in
attendance.
Johnson told those who had gathered that the exit 3 portion of
the reconstruction project was on schedule, due partly to what she
described as a gentle winter this year. The project involved the
reconstruction and widening of 2.2 miles of northbound I-93, mostly
north of exit 3 and the reconstruction of New Hampshire routes 111
and 111A, as well as both the northbound and southbound on and
off ramps at exit 3. All work is in the exit 3 area is on schedule for
completion during the 2016 construction season, she said. This
specific portion of the project was awarded to Weaver Brothers
Construction of Bow, N.H., in December 2013 with a total estimated
construction cost of this portion of the project of $34.9 million.
Johnson explained that during the fall of 2015 and the spring of this
year, Weaver Brothers made significant progress, including these major
items: the final lane configuration from exit 3 to the weigh station on
I-93 northbound; the construction of a new section of Route 111A,
including drainage work and base paving; the demolition of the old
I-93 northbound bridge over Route 111; and the installation of drainage
and detention basins.
The most recent activities include the continuation of drainage
installation on the south side of Route 111, followed by another layer of
paving. Work on the detention basins will continue and the installation
of fencing will take place this summer. During the remaining summer
months, construction on Route 111A will be finished and a final layer
of pavement will be laid on I-93 northbound, from Route 111 to the
weigh station.
Next on the agenda will be the construction of a new Park n Ride
off exit 3. Access to the new Park n Ride will be from either Route
111 or from the newly constructed section of 111A. The new facility
will replace the temporary Park n Ride currently located next to the
CVS store at the intersection of Wall Street and Route 111. The new
lot will provide more than 130 parking spaces. This project will be
put out to bid this coming August. It is anticipated that the bid will be
awarded next spring and construction will begin shortly thereafter. The
estimated completion date is during the fall of 2017. The estimated
construction cost of the new Park n Ride is approximately $2.5 million.
Future plans include providing commuter bus service from exit 3.
The Greenway Trail box culvert, which runs underneath a section of
I-93, is also underway and will eventually connect with the Windham
Rail Trail.
As for reconstruction farther north, it is expected that two miles of
I-93 in the exit 4 area will be widened to three lanes in each direction
by 2020, at an estimated cost of $33 million. The Stonehenge Road
Bridge over I-93 is also slated to be widened during this segment of the
project. Exit 5 in north Londonderry to the I-293 split in Manchester
will likely be completed by the end of the 2019 construction season.
DOT Engineer Jay Levine, who has been working on the exit 3

portion of the reconstruction since 2007, said that 10 miles of I-93

are completed to date, with 10 additional miles to go. Levine said he
wanted to thank the residents of Windham for their patience. There is
an end in sight, Levine said. We are slowly working our way out of
town!
As for the immediate future, however, motorists are going to have to
deal with a drop from three lanes to only two as work near the weigh
station continues and traffic control is required. When asked about the
extreme congestion on Route 111 from exit 3 up toward McDonalds
and Klemms Mobile, Levine said he anticipates that it will lessen by
mid-July. The new 111A intersection is expected to open in August and
be completed by this coming October.
A question was also raised about the nightly rush-hour congestion
from exit 3, along Route 111, near Wall Street, that seems to occur
Monday through Friday from 6 to 7 p.m. Scott responded that it has
long been known that this would be a problem, but that there is a
proposal to solve the dilemma included in the states 10-year plan. The
project is not funded at this point, however.
Another resident expressed concern about traffic building up
between 5 and 7 p.m. on 93 north at Exit 3 and the possibility of motor
vehicle accidents at this location. This needs to be addressed before
there is an accident, he said.
Resident Bob Coole asked about the widening of the bridges over
North Lowell Road. Twenty-five years ago, we were told these
bridges were temporary, he said. Levine replied that the bridge decks
are scheduled to be replaced and widened, but the entire structures
wont be reconstructed. This is not a major project, Levine said. Its
one that will most likely be done at night. Were combining the old
bridges with new construction, he added.
A number of people at the meeting voiced concerns about what the
best way to get to McDonalds will be once Routes 111 and 111A are
finished. They were assured that easy access would be available to
McDonalds and the other shops in the area.
Johnson reminded those that attended the meeting that the original
plans for the reconstruction of I-93 included four lanes in each
direction from Salem to Manchester, but due to environmental issues
involving sodium chloride and the pollution of nearby bodies of water,
the project was reduced to only three lanes in each direction. The DOT
is preparing in advance for four lanes at some future date, however, she
explained, adding that the current construction is only eight feet shy of
being a four-lane highway.
Former selectman Al Letizio, Jr. recognized the DOT team working
on I-93 for a national award recently received in recognition of its
creative design. This is a very important award, Letizio said. They
were up against many other projects.
Longtime Windham resident Betty Dunn expressed appreciation to
the DOT for protecting our lakes; one of which is highly endangered
and the other a drinking water source. The DOT has worked really
well with the Lake Associations to minimize any impact, Dunn said.
Dunn also commented on the huge increase in traffic volume that
has occurred since the construction started a decade ago. Theres
been an immense increase, she said, an increase that has affected so
many peoples quality of life.
Levine replied that traffic signals will be coordinated along the Route
111 corridor when the construction work is done. This will help
move traffic more efficiently, Levine said. It will get better! There
will likely still be a bottleneck by the traffic light at the Windham Post
Office, however, he noted.
Peter Stamnas, the original project coordinator for the I-93
reconstruction, told residents, Well be watching and learning.
Stamnas reported that there are a lot more people driving now than
there were in 2008, when the economy plummeted. An improved
economy results in more people driving, he said, commenting on
lower gas prices. Scott added that the Windham Planning Board does
look at traffic studies regarding development when its in reference
to town roads. The DOT reviews traffic studies when a state road is
involved.
One resident commented that it probably took less time to build the
entire stretch of I-93 decades ago than its taking to reconstruct one 20mile stretch. Give it a chance, Levine said. Just let us finish. The
traffic will lighten up!

submitted by Pelham Fire Department
Pelham Fire received multiple calls on Thursday, June 16, at
approximately 4:16 p.m., both direct to the station and from
9-1-1 regarding a large area of smoke around the Tallant Road
area. Pelham Fire had received multiple calls for service in
this timeframe.
Half of the on-duty crew were committed to transporting
a patient to Southern New Hampshire Medical Center, and
the other half of the crew were checking an illegal burn
across town. Once that crew cleared the illegal burn, they
proceeded to the area of Tallant, Hayden and Windham roads.
Prior to the crew arriving, Pelham C1 was already in the
area. Pelham C1 and Pelham Forestry 2 were delayed in
locating the fire due to the smoke track. Once the fire was
located off Carriage Circle under the power lines, the fire
quickly grew to four alarms due to the labor intensity.
The fire was approximately two acres in size. The fire
burned deep into the forest floor due to years of fuel build
up. Crews had the fire under control with extensive overhaul
about an hour after the call.
Departments responding to assist Pelham were from
Windham, Hudson, Salem, Londonderry, Derry, Litchfield,
and Dracut and Lowell, Mass. All crews worked tirelessly to
control the fire.

When our troop became Brownies, we decided to do the Wonders of
Water Journey. Now, our journey has come to an end. When we were
almost finished, part of the journey said to save water.
Father Brian from St. Matthews Parish in Windham goes on mission
trips to the Dominican Republic and saw that there is a big need for ways
to provide clean water to people there. As a troop, we agreed that this
was something that we could help with. We raised enough money during
our initial cookie sales to purchase one filter and
two replacement cartridges. This was such a great
accomplishment for our troop; we decided to do
even more. We held cookie booths and used our
profit to purchase an additional five filters and
another cartridge. Waterborne illness is a big issue
in the Dominican Republic. By providing these
water filters, our troop is helping to save lives.

One-to-One Laptop
Program Continues
by Barbara OBrien
As has been the case since Windham High School first began operations in 2009, the program that
provides one-to-one laptops to students and faculty will continue, at least for the next four years.
On the recommendation of outgoing Business Administrator Adam Steel, a new four-year lease/purchase
agreement has been approved by the school board. The agreement
calls for 390 Apple laptops, which will be provided to incoming
freshmen students and faculty members who are on a rotating
replacement cycle. It is estimated that there will be 261 freshmen
entering Windham High School when classes resume the end of
August. Steel, who has accepted a business administration job
with the Amherst-Mont Vernon School District, spent his last day of
employment in Windham on June 30.
Laptops that were in the possession of graduating seniors are to be
refurbished in-house and distributed to students at Windham Middle
School. Steel noted that all computer repairs and maintenance are

School District Gets Started on

In-House Groundskeeping
by Barbara OBrien
Although John Pratte, outgoing facilities director
for the Windham School District, is no longer
a Windham employee, his recommendation to
make the groundskeeping program an in-house
enterprise is being followed. Pratte resigned from
his job in Windham a few weeks ago, choosing
to return to the Hudson School District, where he
had previously spent 10 years managing facilities
and grounds.
When Pratte introduced the in-house
groundskeeping program last year, it was met
with approval from most board members, with
the notable exception of Dennis Senibaldi, who
insisted that doing away with an outside vendor
and having to purchase all the equipment would
ultimately cost the school district more money.
The prior landscaper for the school district is
Boydens Landscaping of Pelham. The contract
with Boydens expired on June 30. Boydens does
still have a contract with the Town of Windham,
however.
During his final school board meeting in
Windham, Business Administrator Adam Steel
presented what he described as the first wave
of equipment purchases required to make
groundskeeping an in-house endeavor. Steel said
four major items, including a lawn tractor and all
necessary attachments, is on the initial list, for a
total of about $70,000.
Although the majority of board members had
voted months ago to switch over to in-house
groundskeeping (not including snow removal),

Senibaldi was still not in agreement with the

decision. Senibaldi wanted to know why the
equipment hadnt been put out for a full bid
process, with only quotes being obtained, instead.
Steel said some of the needed equipment is only
available through one vendor in New Hampshire.
Steel also said time is an issue and work needs to
be done. We need to get started on this, Steel
said.
Senibaldi came back with another comment.
You had three months to do this, he told Steel.
School board members voted 2 to 1 to purchase
the groundskeeping equipment as presented by
Pratte. Voting in favor were Chairman Daniel
Popovici-Muller and Vice-Chairman Rob Breton.
Voting in opposition was Dennis Senibaldi.
School board members Tom Murray and Ken
Eyring were excused from the June 21 meeting for
personal reasons.
Senibaldi also commented that he is concerned
about the need for $20,000 to $30,000 in
unplanned sod work at the high school. Our
sports teams have decimated certain areas,
Senibaldi said. He also cited the need for aerating
the soil this summer.
The new school year and 2016-2017 operating
budget go into effect on July 1. The new business
administrator, William Hickey, is expected to
start the job on July 19. A starting date for a new
facilities director had not been announced by
press time. A head groundskeeper has already
been hired.

Internal Controls Audit of School

Business Practices Put on Hold
by Barbara OBrien
Although recommended by the newly
established finance sub-committee, Windham
School Board members have decided to wait
before moving forward with an internal controls
audit of business practices used within the school
district. The estimated cost of the internal controls
audit would be approximately $15,000, according
to the auditing firm of Melanson, Heath and
Company of Nashua. The money for such an
audit is not included in the 2016-2017 operating
budget.
Although outgoing Business Administrator
Adam Steel said that he believes an outside
opinion would be valuable to the school district,
school board member Dennis Senibaldi said
he feels the money doesnt need to be spent at
this point in time. I feel that the procedures in
place are impeccable under Adam, Senibaldi
said, adding that he thinks an audit can be put
off until the next budget cycle, which begins
in the fall. Let the new business administrator
(William Hickey) get started first; then see what

his recommendations are, Senibaldi said. Steel

left the job on June 30, and is headed to the
Amherst/Mont Vernon School District; Hickey,
who is switching over from the Hampton School
District, takes on the responsibilities in Windham
on July 19.
Chairman Daniel Popovici-Muller said that
incoming Superintendent Richard Langlois
had been consulted about the issue and said
that he feels it is appropriate to do the internal
controls audit during the transition to a new
business administrator. Langlois, who is moving
to Windham from Massachusetts, is set to
begin serving as superintendent on July 1. I
dont disagree with letting the new business
administrator weigh in first, Vice-Chairman Rob
Breton said, agreeing with Senibaldis opinion.
After further discussion, it was decided that
the consensus of the board was to wait to
perform the internal controls audit and give the
new administrators time to acclimate. Board
members Tom Murray and Ken Eyring were not in
attendance at the June 21 meeting.

Lewandowski Hired by CNN

by Barbara OBrien
Windham resident Corey Lewandowski, who
once unsuccessfully ran for town treasurer, has
recently been hired as a political commentator
for CNN. Lewandowski debuted on the cable
news station only a couple of days after being
fired as Republican presidential candidate Donald
Trumps national campaign manager.
Lewandowski has been a New Hampshirebased activist for the past 20 years. He is the
former New Hampshire director of Americans
for Prosperity, a position that was followed by his
being named as the East Coast regional director
of Americans
for Prosperity.

losing to long-term town treasurer Bob Skinner.
Trump and Lewandowski met at a New

in April of 2014, at Manchesters Yard Restaurant,
where Trump was a featured speaker.
Lewandowski, who has lived in Windham
for more than a dozen years, served as Trumps
campaign manager throughout the primary

the wrong person to continue in the job as
the general election season approaches.
Lewandowski, who was said to have been fired
by Trump during an early morning staff meeting
last week, reportedly took the decision good
naturedly and still intends to support Trump as
president.
Lewandowski is the head of the New

the Quicken Loans Arena. The convention will
host approximately 2,470 delegates and 2,302

The historic town-owned Searles School and Chapel building,
located on Range Road, is a very busy place these days; with
numerous weddings, showers, graduation parties and other social
events on the calendar. There probably couldnt be a worse time to
have the septic system failing.
Selectmen took up the issue of the failing septic system during
their board meeting on June 20. It is failing, Town Administrator
David Sullivan said. Weve had to pump it much more often, he
said. Its life has come to an end. It needs to be replaced. We have
no choice anymore. Sullivan told selectmen.
New septic designs were designed for the building, but time has
passed, and they have since expired, Sullivan said. The proposed
location for a new system is in the back of the building. The cost
of having the plans reviewed and renewed by the State of New
Hampshire is approximately $1,000. Sullivan said the project will
be put out to bid as soon as possible.
As for paying for the job, Sullivan said about $40,000 (80% of
what will likely be needed) remains in the property trust account.
If that is not enough, the rest of the expense will be financed as
wisely as possible, Sullivan said. This is a priority. Were not
waiting.

Windhams Zoe Freedman Helps

Team Reach State
Tennis Semifinals

The Green Machine Ends Epic

Season as State Champs

Pelham~WindhamSports

submitted by Rich Sinopoli

The future of soccer is bright in the community. The Windham U11 girls travel soccer team (The
Green Machine) has just finished an amazingly epic 2015-2016 season. After finishing runner-ups in the
Fall 2015 NHSL D1 U11 State Championship (to Hooksett) and the Winter 2016 Seacoast United Indoor
League U12 Championship (to NH Timberwolves), the team defined resilience and toughness.
The Green Machine dominated the regular spring season and finished in first place with an average
margin of victory of 2.5 goals per game. They went on to capture the Spring 2016 NHSL Division 1 U11
State Championship Game with a 5-2 victory over Merrimack. The phenomenal members of this team
are Abby Irwin, Ali Dufield, Alyse Pelletier, Ashlyn Walsh, Avery Dyer, Bree Amari, Cecilia Sinopoli,
Chloe Weeks, Emily Manning, Emma DeMarco, Erin Kane, Katie Durkin, Kyra Faulkingham, Lily Chhun,
and Mia Carter.
In addition to success at soccer, these multi-sport athletes also excel at softball, lacrosse, dance,
basketball, ice hockey, gymnastics, and many starred in the Center School production of The Sound of
Music. The coaching staff is comprised of Kristin DeMarco (Team Manager), Erin Dallas (Trainer), Paul
DeMarco (Assistant Head Coach) and Rich Sinopoli (Head Coach).

Windham resident Zoe Freedman,

a sophomore at Pinkerton Academy,
recently helped propel the girls varsity
tennis team to the New Hampshire
Division I state tennis semi-finals. It
was the first time the Lady Astros
reached the semis in over 20 years after
upsetting third-seed Manchester Central
in the quarterfinals, spearheaded by
Freedmans 8-2 number 2 singles win
and 8-3 number 2 doubles victory.
The Lady Astros were defeated in the
team semi-finals by eventual champion
Bedford. Freedman also qualified
for the NHIAA Open Division State
Championships in singles and doubles.
In the latter, she and her partner, Riley
Reinhert, reached the semi-finals, the
first time an Astros pair went so far in
the tourney in years.
Freedman played number 2 singles
and number 2 doubles, with a
combined record of 12-4 in singles and
13-3 in doubles. Freedman also was
recently the recipient of the Lady Astros
scholar-athlete award in tennis. She
was a mid-year transfer from Windham
High School where, as a freshmen,
she broke several swim records and
finished second in the state in diving.
She also competed for the Jaguars in
tennis, qualifying for the state singles
tournament. Freedman will compete
next academic year in soccer, swim/
dive and tennis for the Astros.

Three Parcels of
Town-Owned Land Sold
by Barbara OBrien
Three parcels of town-owned land have been
sold and the properties were closed on late last
month. Town Administrator David Sullivan made
the announcement during the June 20 selectmens
meeting.
The properties that were sold had all been
acquired through tax deeds, and the sales did not
need to go before voters for approval. Properties

sold include the following:

Land on Farmer Road; selling for $75,250;
Land on Four Street, selling for $75,000;
Land on London Bridge Road; selling for
$150,000.
The properties were sold through an area realtor
and a six-percent commission was paid on the
sale of each of these properties. The profit on the
sales will be returned to the general town fund.

Memorandum to Collective
Bargaining Agreement Ratified
by Barbara OBrien
The Windham School Board has agreed to a
memorandum of agreement being added to the

two-year teacher contract approved by voters this

past March.
The memorandum was ratified by members
of the Windham Education
Association late last month.
It involves two study groups
that will be looking into
opportunities for professional
improvement.
The memorandum was
approved by school board
members by a vote of 3 to 0,
during its June 21 meeting.
Voting in favor were Chairman
Daniel Popovici-Muller, ViceChairman Rob Breton and
school board member Dennis
Senibaldi. Board members Tom
Murray and Ken Eyring were
excused from the meeting for
personal reasons.
