by Mike Bourk Pelham finished its regular season 18-0 besting

Prospect Mountain of Alton 70-30. The firstquarter has been brutal to teams visiting the“Snake Pit” this season. With Pelham’s tightdefense, superior rebounding, and fastbreakoffense, opponents frequently find themselves in adeep hole early against the Pythons.

Prospect Mountain fell into that stereotype asthe Timberwolves could not contain Pelham’s up-tempo style and found themselves on the shortend of a 24-5 score at the end of the first quarter.All five starters scored in the quarter. DylanSilvestri and Ryan Cloutier each scored 6 po ints in

the first quarter. Ryan Rondeau and David Rogerseach knocked down a three. Keith Brown canneda pair of threes.

In the second quarter, Kyle Frank had twosteals to keep Pelham runs of six and eight points

going. Cam Deloreto gave Silvestri a break as hetook over rebounding for the Pythons. Cloutierled all scorers with 19 points. Although Silvestriscored 13 points, his biggest contribution wasrebounding. After the game Dylan talked abouthis rebounding, “I try to get a read on where theshot will end up if it’s missed. If it looks like it willbe inside, I’ll either box my opponent out or crashthe boards; otherwise I’ll play for position.”

As it was Senior Night for Pelham, it was a nicetouch by Coach Matt Regan to start the fourthquarter with his five seniors and replace them asa group at the first whistle for their final regularseason time together. After the game Regan talked

about the 18-0 season: “It’s not really somethingyou think about as the season goes on becausewe’re focused on just one game at a time. Thetournament starts next week and everybody willbe 0-0.”

When asked about having the same five playersstart all 21 games thus far, Coach Regan replied,“Now that you mention it, yes, we did have thesame starting lineup for the entire season. Thatwas kind of unusual. We typically have a playeror two that gets an injury or has the flu. We’vebeen pretty lucky this season.”Pelham Finishes Regular Season Unforgettably

Two New Hampshire high school boys’ teamsand four girls’ teams have finished their regularseason undefeated.What separatesthe Pelham boys’team from theother five teamsis they cappedtheir unbeaten

season with anunforgettable finish.

Bryan Doherty isa senior at PelhamHigh School. Hehas been a constantfixture at footballand basketballgames for the pastfour years. Lastyear he beganparticipating intrack. He is apositive, upliftingspirit on thesidelines and is aninspiration to histeammates. Thesame can be saidfor many student-athletes, but Bryan’ssituation is different. He has Down Syndrome.Usually, the nucleus of each human cell contains23 pairs of chromosomes, half of which areinherited from the child’s mother and half fromthe father. Down syndrome occurs when a

person has a partial or extra copy of chromosome21. This genetic disorder causes developmentaldelays. The level of severity varies from personto person. There are about 400,000 Americansdiagnosed with Down Syndrome.

Bryan’s mom, Christine, talked about how hefirst became involved in sports, “When Bryanwas in the fourth grade he had a classmate, JoeCosta, that was playing Rec basketball. Joe andhis mother, Mary Ellen, asked if Bryan would

like to play on Joe’s team.” Parks& Rec BasketballProgram managerDave Parola addedto the background:“Bryan’s parents

asked me if itwould be possiblefor him to playRec basketball. Isaid sure, we’dlove to have himparticipate. We’llwork somethingout.” What Davedid was modifythe rules slightlyso that Bryan wasable to play ballwith his classmates.Christine went on tosay, “Rec basketballopened the door forall the other sports,such as Razorback

football, LittleLeague baseball, and

school sports.”Bryan’s Pelham High School athletic career

Jumping Up and Down for Good Healthby AJ Dickinson

Hundreds of students could be seen scatteredthroughout the Windham Center School gym on Feb.12 during “Jump Rope for Heart” as the boys and girlssweated it out in the name of good health.

PMS Students Treat ARNNE with Doggie Donations

Pelham Memorial students enjoy the company of rescue dog Dixie.

by Marc AyotteIn the spirit of community service, students from Pelham

Memorial School recently held a fundraiser to benefit the Pelhamchapter of the Animal Rescue Network of New England. ARRNE

is a network of shelters and rescues throughout the region and alsodeals extensively with other rescues in the south. Many of the dogsare transferred to the Pelham facility from Georgia and Florida withthe hope of finding ‘forever’ homes for the neglected canines.

On Monday, March 2, Beatrice Donohue, an eighth gradeteacher at PMS, along with seven students, presented ARNNEofficials, Tom McGee and Dave Grace, with the supplies andmoney generated from a recent fundraiser. “We specifically choseARNNE because they are local,” noted Donohue who is also amember of the school’s advisory committee. She also indicatedthat pretty much everyone in the office has a rescue dog. Ona personal level, Donohue recently adopted a rescue dog fromMiami, Fla., named Yukon - described as a Rottweiler Hound (see

photo).The ARNNE drive was a cumulative advisory team effort,

including members of the National Junior Honor Society, accordingto Donohue. In lieu of the traditional ‘homeroom’ of the past,every morning the teachers and students discuss and plan outactivities with each month featuring a special theme. For Marchthe decision was to give back to the community, more specificallygetting involved with the Adopt a Dog program. “They did anamazing job,” noted Donohue, referencing the array of productsgenerated by the fundraiser.

According to McGee, vice president of ARNNE, the organizationhas been the recipient of donations from other Pelham schools inthe past. But McGee could not say enough about the efforts ofthe sixth through eighth graders that produced toys, beds, treats,paper towels, and alike, saying, “They raised almost everythingyou can imagine that we need.” The money collected will beapplied to expenses incurred in providing I.D. tags for the rescues.In continuing his praise of the students’ collective efforts, McGeeadded, “The fact they came up with so much of that is incredible.What they did was nothing short of phenomenal.”

A ‘pet adoption’ day is held by ARNNE on the last Saturday ofevery month, and takes place at the First Congregational Church ofPelham located on Main Street. For more information on how youcan foster or adopt a dog of your own, check out their website atwww.arnne.org.

Former WHS Principal Urges Students,Teachers to Ride 250 Miles for a Cause

by Jillian DiPersio, Windham High School Intern

Connor Mullally is a seven-year-old third grader at Windham’sGolden Brook School, who is currently fighting DuchenneMuscular Dystrophy, a disease that will cause him to becomewheelchair bound between the ages of 10 and 12. He may onlylive into his 20s, and his parents are currently trying to fund anaddition onto their house to move Connor’s bedroom to the firstfloor when he can no longer go up the stairs.

Connor has been an inspiration for a project undertaken byformer Windham High School Principal Ryan Kaplan. Kaplan isan avid bike rider and is using his passion to inspire WHS studentsto try something new and support a worthwhile cause: the fight

against muscular dystrophy. Kaplan is currently recruiting studentsto join him this June on the Trans New Hampshire Bike Ride.

The bike ride “was started by the Salem, New Hampshire FireDepartment and the fire department happens to be the biggestsponsor of the Muscular Dystrophy Association in the country,”explained Kaplan. He added, “It has since really evolved into asizable event.” The Trans New Hampshire Bike Ride begins at theCanadian border in Pittsburg, NH, and ends three days later inPortsmouth. The ride spans a total distance of 250 miles.

Each year the ride is dedicated to someone fighting a disease.This year the ride is dedicated to Ellen Corindia, a former NavyNurse suffering from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. “She hascontinued to live an adventurous, active life despite dealing witha fatal neuromuscular disease,” reports transnhbikeride.org. Shehas become an inspiration, using a talking computer to engage inpublic speaking at various universities.

Kaplan hopes to recruit a team of WHS students and teachers to join him on the ride in June. Kaplan himself has been engaging inmulti-week tours since he was 13 years old. “When I was 15 I rodeacross the country from Seattle, Washington, to Rye Beach, NH,3,600 miles over two months ... It very much defined who I amtoday,” reflected Kaplan. He added, “It’s a wonderful way to justsee the country, to meet people, but for (the Trans New Hampshire

Bike Ride) it’s just an incredible way to raise money and awarenessfor the Muscular Dystrophy Association of NH.”

Students and teachers alike are actively signing up for the ride.Anyone who signs up is required to raise a minimum of $1,000,however, Kaplan stressed to his students “Do not worry aboutraising money! I will help you get through it. If you are interestedin the ride, sign up and the other pieces will come together.”

Kaplan stated, “My hope is, by the time March comes aroundand the snow starts to melt, we’re going to start training as a teamand we’ll start getting a couple rides in a week, and our goal is toget up toward that 100-mile-a-day mark.” He plans on teachingstudents “ the mechanics of a bike, first off how to do some basicmechanics … but also just understanding diet and cycling andpacing themselves … and probably the most important thing thatwe do in training is how to communicate with vehicles and how tobe safe on the road.”

For Kaplan, Connor Mullally represents why this ride is soimportant. “Connor will never be able to ride a bike, but I can. If Ican help him in any way as a result of doing what I love doing andraising money to support h im, it’s a win-win,” he said.

Students are welcome to email Mr. Kaplan at [email protected] or visit the website transnhbikeride.org for moreinformation. Windham community members are also encouragedto join and train with the WHS cycling team. “It’s just a wonderfulopportunity to connect, as a community for a great cause,” saidKaplan.

Pelham Food Pantry Grows along with the Needs of the Community by Sue Krzeminski

It’s not a choice anyone wants to make. Unfortunately,for some local families, it can come down to decidingamong paying for heat, rent, medications or child careover food. A weekly trip to the Food Pantry of Pelhamat St. Patrick’s Parish can become a necessity, especiallywhen winter brings with it skyrocketing utility bills alongwith the rising snow piles.

Still, the doors of the Pelham Food Pantry have stayedopen even with the relentless storms of late January andFebruary. In fact, since Director Cheryl Brunelle has beenat the helm for the last four years, only once has weather

forced the pantry to close: this past Jan. 26 after the firstbig blizzard. Otherwise , clients are welcome any Tuesdayfrom 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. or Wednesday from 1 to 3 p.m.to pick up their carefully pre-packed bags of food, paperproducts and meat.

Since February 2011, the pantry has been housedbehind St. Patrick’s Church in a former two-bay storagegarage remodeled by the parish men’s club through thedonations of area businesses and residents. About 100families are registered through the food pantry to receivehelp; this number has remained fairly consistent since themove into the current location. Yet, not all of the facesare the same.

“The people we see are no different than you or me,”explained Brunelle. “They are your neighbors and yourfriends. They are regular people who are in need. We’rehere for them to lend a helping hand.”

Before the pantry moved from a trailer on the parishgrounds to its current building, Brunelle researched whatother area pantries were doing. She felt coming up with aset list of pre-determined items would ensure more varietyand fairness for pantry clients, not to mention help themost people. She settled on a well-rounded compilationof food that includes soup, beans, canned vegetables andfruit, peanut butter and cereal. The amount and size of each fooditem corresponds with the number of family members.

The pantry’s nearly 50 volunteers - of which its director is oneherself - make sure to add in “those little things that make lifespecial” like desserts and snacks. Of course, plenty of protein isalways distributed each week as well, such as canned tuna, plusfrozen ground meat, pork or chicken provided by Hannaford. Likeclockwork, these bags are numbered, pre-packed and ready for pickup on the well-organized pantry shelves each and every week.

The Pelham Food Pantry operates under the umbrella of theDiocese of Manchester. That doesn’t mean those who receive helpmust be St. Patrick’s parishioners . They need only live or worshipin town and have financial need. A great resource over the lastfour years has been the pantry’s affiliation with the New HampshireFood Bank in Manchester. Much of the pantry’s supply comes fromthe food bank during weekly or bi-weekly shopping trips there fordiscounted and even free items, often available in bulk. In addition,

the Pelham Food Pantry relies on food or monetary donations, fromindividuals and businesses, as well as from local grocers such asHannaford, BJ’s and Country Kitchen. In the summer, local producedonations are received as well.

But what happens to extra perishable items, like the bread andpastry items, that are left over? Well, these are picked up by a localfarmer each week to feed to his pigs. And so it’s clear every effort ismade to minimize waste at the Pelham Food Pantry.

As for cleanliness and organization, the pantry excels in bothcategories. In fact, most people would be happy to have theirown homes looking this ‘spic and span.’ As occurs annually, thepantry will be inspected on March 18 by a representative of theNH Food Bank to ensure it meets required standards for subscribersto the organization. Informational records are checked, generalappearance is evaluated, thermometers are inspected in each

freezer; all of this in an effort to ensure a high level of overall safetyand cleanliness.

Besides the nearly 50 adult volunteers, local youth often comehelp at the food pantry to receive community service hours. That’show Steve Hayes of Pelham first got involved years ago with his sonand daughter. He wanted his children to understand the benefitof extending a helping hand to those in need. Hayes now helpsdistribute the food every few weeks and assists with packing or othertasks whenever the need arises.

“It’s a way for the kids of our community to getinvolved and give something back of themselves,”said Hayes, a member of the First CongregationalChurch of Pelham across the street from the food

pantry. “I think many of us have a lot in our lives and we need torepay back to our neighbors who are struggling.”

Eagle Scout Challenge CourseReady for Spring

by Barbara O’BrienWhen spring weather finally makes an appearance in

southern New Hampshire, Windham residents who hopeto shape up after the extremely long, cold and snow-filledwinter will have the opportunity to take advantage of a newchallenge course located behind Windham Center School.

The four-station challenge course was the brain-child ofWindham Boy Scout Ken Cole, a Windham High Schoolsophomore. Cole, a member of Troop 266 and currentlya Life Scout, is striving for the rank of Eagle Scout. EagleScout is the highest rank available in Boy Scouts ofAmerica. The achievement involves a community serviceproject, one that must be completed prior to the scout’s18th birthday.

Cole and 19 other members of his Boy Scouttroop constructed the challenge course this pastDecember, prior to the onslaught of near record-breaking snow that began in mid-January. A totalof 300 man-hours was devoted to constructingthe challenge course. In addition to the four

stations, the scouts also put down 25 cubic yardsof woodchips and erected signs at each station.The endeavor involved “many, many trips toHome Depot,” Cole told school board members.Fundraising was conducted to earn the moneyneeded for the supplies.

“This is impressive,” said Jerome Rekart,promising that he and other school boardmembers would give the challenge course a try,“once it is no longer hibernating” beneath thesnowdrifts. “We’ll be out there when the snowmelts,” Rekart said. Superintendent WinfriedFeneberg complimented Cole on delivering “avery classy presentation and delivery” to schooladministrators. School board member Rob Breton,referring to the problem Cole had run into as aresult of significant granite ledge existing in onearea, said, “Hitting the rock was definitely a snag,but you stayed the course … and got it done.”Cole said they handled the granite ledge bydrilling into it to anchor some of the equipment.

In other business, school board membersaccepted a $6,572 donation from the WindhamBooster Club toward the artificial turf fieldproposed for Windham High School. This is the

fifth donation that the non-profit organization has madetoward the proposed project; something that was originallyplanned for Windham High School when it was built in2009, but was removed from the construction project dueto insufficient funding. School board members expressedtheir appreciation to the boosters club and accepted thedonation with gratitude, by a vote of 4 to 0. Voting in favorof the acceptance were Michael Joanis, Rob Breton, KenEyring and Jerome Rekart. School board Vice-ChairmanDennis Senibaldi was not in attendance when the vote wastaken.

Volunteer Sherry Ducharme distributes the food to theapproximately 100 families served by the pantry. Treevolunteers are scheduled each uesday and Wednesday to

provide the clients with their prepacked bags.

Food Pantry Director Cheryl Brunelle, a Pelham residentand St. Patrick’s parishioner, helped establish a relationship

with the New Hampshire Food Bank in Manchester.

Nearly 50 people volunteer at the Food Pantry ofPelham, including Christine Marion.

C o u r t e s y p h o t o s

For the last four years, the Food Pantry of Pelham has been located behind St.Patrick’s Parish in a former storage garage remodeled by the parish men’s club.

Make a DifferenceThe Food Pantry of Pelham relies on donations to keep its shelves

well stocked. Naturally, needs vary from week to week. Below aresome of the necessary items the pantry is lowest on right now:

• Tuna,• Canned fruit,• Baked beans,• Juice, and• Paper towelsOf course all donations are welcome, whether they be non-

perishable food items, paper products, or financial contributions. Just stop by anytime to leave food and paper items in the donationroom inside the left door of the food pantry. The building is locatedbehind St. Patrick’s Parish on Main Street in Pelham.

The Tax Return-The Affordable Care Act- Part 4

W.F.Boutin EA - Total Tax Solutions LLC

As previously stated, all US taxpayers are subject to the individualshared responsibility provision of the ACA. A taxpayer is liable for their

self, and for any individual that the taxpayer could claim as a depen-dent for tax purposes. Therefore all individuals must have MEC orqualify for a coverage exemption for each month of the year. Parentswho can claim a child as a dependent, will need to calculate a sharedresponsibility payment for a child that is not covered or exempted.

Most taxpayers who are covered through an employer, through agovernment sponsored program ( Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, TRICARE),through the "Marketplace" etc. will meet the requirements of theminimum essential coverage (MEC).

Plans that do not meet MEC criteria are plans such as stand alonedental and vision plans, accident and disability insurance, workman'scompensation insurance, Medicaid that provides for only specificcoverage such as family planning and treatment in emergencysituations.

If a taxpayer's family were not covered each month, then the next stepwould be to qualify for a health coverage exemption. The new tax Form8965, Health Coverage Exemptions is used to list month's not coveredby the MEC, to list the exemption for not having coverage, or if noexemption applies to calculate the shared responsibility payment forthose months in question.

Some exemptions are granted only through the "Marketplace". Anexemption granted through the "marketplace" will be given an Exemp-tion Certificate Number (ECN). This number will be present on the1095-A issued by the "Marketplace". Some exemptions are onlyclaimed on the income tax return and some may be obtained throughthe Marketplace or claimed through the return.

An example of some exemptions granted through the return are 1)Unaffordable Coverage the amount you would have to pay for thelowest cost employer coverage or Marketplace (bronze) coverage ismore than 8% of the taxpayer's household income. (Please see the Part2 article for calculating household income). 2) Short Coverage Gap youwent without coverage for less than 3 consecutive months during theyear. 3) Household Income Below the Return Filing Threshold yourhousehold income is below the minimum threshold for filing a return.(An example of this is a single person 65 or older has a filing thresholdof $11,700 in 2014. However remember you are comparing householdincome to gross income. A person who is over 65 may not have to filebecause gross income is below this number, since social securitybenefits are not entered into gross income calculation, howevernon-taxable social security is calculated in household income.)

Because of article length restrictions, we have provided a link ofexemptions at our web site for Marketplace and return exemptions.

As mentioned if an exemption does not exist for a month of notmeeting the MEC, then a shared responsibility payment (SRP) iscalculated on Form 8965. The annual SRP is the greater of a percentage

of household income or a flat dollar amount. However the amount iscapped at the national average premium for a Bronze level MEC for thehousehold size in question.

For 2014, the annual SRP amount is the greater of 1% of the house-hold income that is above the tax return filing threshold for thetaxpayers filing status or the family's flat dollar amount which is $95 peradult and $47.50 per child (under age 18) limited to a family total of$285. These are annual amounts. The 2014 national Bronze levelaverage is $204 per month for a single person, $1020 per month for afamily of 5.

(The 2015 % increases to 2% of household income and 2016increases to 2.5%. The flat dollar rates increase in 2015 to $325 peradult and $162.50 per child under 18. 2016 is $695 per adult and$347.50 per child under 18. All are annual amounts)

Lets do a calculation for 2014: A married couple with 2 childrenunder 18, household income of $70,000. No MEC for 12 months

The filing threshold for married filing joint is $20,300. (householdincome) $70000 - (filing threshold) $20,300 = $49700

1% of $49700 is $497. Their flat dollar rate is $285 (2 adults at $95 is$190 and 2 children under 18 is $95)

Because $497 is greater than $285 and less than the national averageof $12,240 ($1020 x 12 months), their shared responsibility payment is$497 for 12 months, $41.41 per month without coverage.

Building and Grounds CommitteeDraws Signicant Interest

by Barbara O’BrienEven before it had been officially established,

a newly proposed Windham School Districtcommittee drew significant interest from those whowanted to become members.

During the Feb. 17 school board meeting,Superintendent Winfried Feneberg announcedthat plans are to establish a Building andGrounds Committee, in the near future. Fenebergemphasized that this committee is not to beconfused with the existing Citizen FacilitiesCommittee, which was set up last April to come upwith ways to solve the space crunch in Windhamschools. The new committee has more to do withschool building and grounds maintenance than itdoes with construction, Feneberg explained.

The current Citizen Facilities Committee isrecommending an option to deal with the spaceproblems in three of Windham’s four publicschools. That option (number 2) will go to voterson Election Day, Tuesday, March 10. Whether ornot that committee will be disbanded following theelection remains to be seen. Although Fenebergdid say he felt that the two committees (Buildingand Grounds and Citizen Facilities) could co-exist. “Once the job of a committee is done, it isdisbanded,” school board Chairman Jerome Rekartnoted. Members of a former committee are alwayswelcome to apply for membership on a newcommittee, however, Rekart said.

One of the issues that was discussed regardingthe new committee was how best to appoint itsmembers. Business Administrator Adam Steel saidhe felt membership should be on a first-come, first-served basis. School board members disagreedwith that concept, however, feeling qualificationsand experience should be paramount in appointingmembers.

“Membership shouldn’t be a race,” Fenebergsaid, agreeing with the opinion of all five schoolboard members. “We want diversity, not just whoresponds first,” he said.

It was decided that three to seven communitymembers should be appointed, in addition tomembers of the staff and school board. If theproposed position of facilities manager getsapproved by voters on Election Day, that individualwill also work with the Building and GroundsCommittee. “The facilities manager should play acrucial role,” Feneberg said.

Citizen Facilities Committee member andcandidate for school board Tom Murray saidhe very much supports the idea of a buildingand grounds committee. Murray said he is alsointerested in serving on the new committee, notingthat his profession as a contractor would assistthe school district in handling proposed projectsin a cost-effective way. Resident Bob Coole,who regularly attends school and town meetings,said he, too, is interested in being on the newcommittee. Citizen Facilities Committee members

Jerry Rufo and Rich Amari also expressed interestin becoming members of the Building and GroundsCommittee. Amari said he sees the new committeeas “a huge step forward.” “It’s a big win for theschool district to put such a public committeetogether,” he said.

School board member Rob Breton said he wantsto assure the diversity of the new committee; “not

just take the first 10 volunteers.” School boardmember Ken Eyring said he was 100 percent insupport of forming the Building and Grounds

Committee, but saw no reason to rush forward.Eyring said he wants the process of appointingmembers to be done conscientiously and wantsto assure that the school board, not just the SAU,is fully involved. “I want to be included in theprocess,” Eyring said. On a vote of 5 to 0, amotion was approved to appoint members ofthe committee based on the recommendationof the superintendent and/or members of theschool board. Anyone interested in applyingfor membership on the Building and GroundsCommittee should contact SAU 95 at 425-1976.

TheGirl Scout Gold Award, thehighest achievement in girlscouting, is open only to girlsin high school. Candidatesmust identify a project, comeup with a plan to raise thenecessary funds, and thenwork to complete the project.

Megan has been a GirlScout for 12 years, beginningin a Daisy troop in thePelham council. Many ofher early Girl Scout meetingswere held in the St. Patrickmeeting rooms in the churchbasement . This year, when

working to identify a project,Megan wanted to give backto St. Patrick Catholic Schoolwhere she was a studentfor nine years. Meganremembered the SPCS schoollibrary and how as a juniorhigh student the library lackedupdated books for youngadults. Megan decided touse her gold star project tocreate a young adult sectionin the St. Patrick’s library,adding many new books to theircollection and a bookcase tostore them in.

“Having popular young adult fictionfeatured in an attractive area is a wonderfulnew addition to our school library,” saidLynne Stader, literature teacher.

Megan raised funds for her gold awardthrough a series of yard sales. The St.Patrick’s students also supported Megan inher project by holding a paid dress-downday to help defray her expenses. Megancollected a few books from donationsthrough her fellow Girl Scout troopmember Mary Hammar. Megan chosebooks that were age appropriate for sixththrough eighth grade students, includingher favorite book series, Harry Potter andDivergent.

“I like all the new chairs and thebookcase. My favorite is the hardcover Harry Potter collection,” said sixth grader Katie Nale.

Creating the new bookcase was an integral part of the project. Megan designed, built, and finished itwith help from family friend Jimmy Fisher. She installed the bookcase at the St. Patrick Catholic Schoollibrary in November. Megan completed the reading area by placing several comfortable reading chairsthere. Megan said, “I really enjoyed creating this reading corner and I appreciate everyone who helpedmake it possible.”

Lowell Catholic High senior Megan Michaud of Pelham raised money for her project through yard sales.

Members Defeatedby Barbara O’Brien

In what evolved into a rather heated andincreasingly nasty race for the Windham School,

the two incumbents were soundly defeated by thetwo candidates that many in town had felt werethe underdogs.

Just a couple of days before the election,newcomer Tom Murray’s campaign signs werebroken and left lying in the snow bank, whileso-called “voter guidelines,” listing only theincumbents’ names, were widely circulated.Rumors of unethical and immoral behaviorcirculated town-wide, leaving some candidateshaving to defend themselves, rather than beingable to promote their ideas.

Despite major support from a number of formerschool board members, as well as two sittingschool board members and the vice-chairmanof the board of selectmen, incumbents Michael

Joanis and Jerome Rekart failed to garner sufficientsupport to earn a second three-year term on thefive-member Windham School Board.

When the polls were closed at 8 p.m., on March10, and the ballots tallied, Tom Murray received

the most votes (1,735) and Daniel Popovici-Mullerthe second highest count (1,618). Going downin defeat were incumbents Mike Joanis (1,313)and Jerome Rekart (1,244). Receiving the lowestnumber of votes, Rekart had been under fire for thepast couple of months, due to his stance on onlyallowing limited public input during meetings.

The only other contested school district racewas for treasurer. Incumbent Donna Sawyer hadchosen not to seek re-election to a second term.

Coming away with the victory was Anne-MarieO’Neil (1,321) versus Laura Bellavia (1,106).Bellavia had openly supported Rekart and Joanis,resulting, perhaps, in her own defeat.

The two school construction warrant articlesthat were the most controversial during pre-election debates were both defeated. Article 2,which asked voters to spend $1,820,000 for aturf field, lights and bleachers at Windham HighSchool failed by a vote of 1,728 to 1,467. Tohave succeeded, the article would have neededa 60 percent majority. Article 3, which asked for$15 million to construct an addition and renovateGolden Brook School and also renovate WindhamMiddle School, was defeated by a vote of 1,989to 1,186. This article also required a 60 percentmajority to pass.

Voters did approve hiring a facilities director forthe school district, however, with an annual salaryand benefits totaling $128,386. This position wasapproved by a vote of 1,937 to 1,175. The 2015-

2016 school district operating budget also passed as proposed ($47,258,826) by a simple majorityvote of 1,597 to 1,487.

The total number of Windham voters who casttheir ballots was 3,428; only 31 percent of thoseregistered to do so.

School Board’s Public InputPolicy Goes Back to Committee

Once Againby Barbara O’Brien

The Windham School Board has beenrevising its public input policy since thebeginning of the year, a process broughtabout when a number of residents contestedChairman Jerome Rekart’s decision not toallow residents to address agenda items whilethey were under discussion. Last year, Rekarthad decided that public input would onlybe allowed at the beginning of school boardmeetings, with each speaker being allocatedapproximately three minutes to make his orher point.

A public uproar developed at the Jan. 6meeting when Rekart refused to allow severalmembers of the Citizens Facilities Committeeto provide information on a proposed energymanagement contract with Cenergistic,a company out of Dallas, Texas. It wassubsequent to that date that the school boardpolicy committee began reviewing the existingdocument and working through ways in whichto allow public input, but not so much thatmeetings would be likely to drag on endlessly.

On March 3, the newly proposed publicinput policy was discussed again, but no finaldecision on its adoption was reached. Afterdiscussing the issue for an extended period oftime, school board members decided to sendit back to the policy committee, again, forfurther tweaking. School board member KenEyring and Superintendent Winfried Fenebergagreed that the last policy committee meetinghad been very successful and members hadbeen able to come to a meeting of the mindsby the end of the meeting.

There is still some disagreement amongboard members on how much leeway thepublic should be allowed in speaking atmeetings. Most of the board members didn’tseem to want to be questioned by membersof the public, but just to sit and listen to whatresidents had to say; responding to commentsonly if choosing to do so. Eyring, who seemsto be more open to allowing public input,

said, “You have to trust the public,” rather thanassume someone is going to say somethinginappropriate or go on and on repetitively onthe same subject. All five board membersagreed that comments should “be brief and tothe point.”

School board members also continued tohaggle over how much authority to give tothe chairman in determining when publicinput is getting out of hand. Rekart said hewas concerned about someone going to thepodium and making obscene or threateningcomments. Eyring suggested that the schoolboard give the new policy a trial run for acouple of months, then decide whether itneeds any further refinement. Eyring also saidhe wants to be able to question a speaker, ifhe feels the need, and to seek clarification ofwhat is being said.

Selectmen’s Chairman Ross McLeod said hewas glad that the school board has decided tolet the public address its members in a moreopen manner, explaining that he believespublic interaction at meetings makes for amore educated community regarding issuesbeing discussed. McLeod said he believesthat, even with substantial public input, achairman can manage meetings effectively.

Windham resident Daniel Popovici-Mullersaid he had requested information regardingways in which school board meetings hadbeen delayed in the past, due to allowingpublic input, but had not received a sufficientreply. Popovici-Muller said he encourages theschool board to leave the proposed policy lessrestrictive at this juncture and allow time tofind out what works and what does not.

The public input policy will be broughtback to the school board for a final reviewat the next meeting on Tuesday, March 17.This will be the first school board meetingfollowing the annual election on March 10.School board meetings begin at 7 p.m. in theCommunity Development Building, adjacentto town hall.

Lieutenant Anne Perriello: Always Stepping Forwardby Shannon Lindsay

For most people, deciding what they’d like to be when they growup can be a daunting and challenging task. Some people are neverentirely sure. For Lieutenant Anne Perriello of the Pelham Police,though, this was never a problem.

From a young age, Perriello knew that she wanted to go into thepolice force. She was first inspired by some of her friends’ parents,who happened to be police officers. She looked up to them as goodrole models.

Perriello also knew that she did not want a job sitting behind adesk for eight hours a day, and she believes that pride in a uniform

was instilled in her at a young age, beginning with playing sports. Itwas easy for all of these things to fall into place and for her to realizeher calling.

After interning with her hometown of Chelmsford’s PoliceDepartment, she was positive that this was the path she wantedto take, and she was met with support from her family. Her dad,concerned as any good dad would be for his child’s safety, simply made her promise that she would always wear her bulletproof vest.

This is a promise that she still stands by, even just last week whenshe met with this reporter.

While attending school at the University of Massachusetts- Lowellon a field hockey scholarship, Perriello earned both her bachelor’sand master’s degrees in criminal justice. As soon as she hadgraduated from the master’s program, shewas ready to begin testing to enter into thepolice force. She earned excellent grades,but it’s difficult in Massachusetts to getinto the police force without some sort ofa military background. Because of this,Perriello decided to begin testing in NewHampshire; she was accepted into thePelham Police Department at age 21 and

has now served there for 14 years.Currently, Perriello resides in Hudsonwith her German Shepherd, Jackson,whom she spoils as she would her child.During a meeting with the lieutenant, shediscussed her future plans and ambitions,whether she ever thought she’d be whereshe is now, and what she enjoys mostboth about and outside of work.

Perriello never exactly planned tobe in the position of lieutenant. Sheremembers watching shows like CSI andimagining she’d be the next big detective.Otherwise, she wanted to become aK-9 officer. Once she was promoted tosergeant in 2007, though, she knew hernext goal was to become a lieutenant.She achieved that goal this past October.

Before her promotion, Perriello admits to being a bit of aworkaholic. She says that the promotion has actually allowed her

to embrace more free time as she works more of

a normal 40-50 hour week. Even with her freetime, though, she still prefers to keep moving.She doesn’t see herself as burning out anytimesoon, and the only thing she could think of thatshe dislikes about her job at all is having to dopaperwork.

Even though she has settled into workingfewer hours than before, there is one specific

job that Lt. Perriello refuses to give up, evenif it would mean working extra hours withoutpay: teaching the D.A.R.E program to studentsin the fifth grade. She sees this as a crucial partof a child’s learning and development. D.A.R.Eteaches more now than just “say no to drugs,”Perriello assured this reporter. The program hasbeen revamped over the years, and it teaches thechildren some important life skills. Lt. Perriellogreatly enjoys being able to interact with thechildren and describes their age group as perfect,“innocent, yet inquisitive,” allowing for somegreat discussion. When asked what her favorite

part about her job was, teaching D.A.R.E. was heranswer without hesitation.

When not working, Perriello has a number ofinterests that keep her busy. She owns a camp atLake Winnipesaukee and tries to spend as much

time as possible there from April to October, boating and hiking withfriends. She also enjoys attending country music concerts and justspending time with her friends and family.

As far as her plans for the future, Perriello seems to always befocusing on bettering either her own life or the lives of others. When

asked if she enjoys reading, she repliedthat she mostly reads wellness books;she is currently reading “Idiot’s Guideto Mindfulness” which focuses on self-awareness. Also, now that she has morefree time, she hopes to adopt a puppy ora young dog to train as a therapy dog,something she’s been hoping to do for awhile.

Lt. Perriello’s ambitions do not stopthere, though. One of the things sheis most excited about are her plans tobegin taking classes for a master’s degreein social work. She hopes to do mentalhealth counseling for first responderswho deal with trauma on a daily basis.Perriello believes that there is much morePTSD present within law enforcementand fire than is ever documented, andshe believes this can be lessened withproper education and crisis debriefinggroups.

Another area that Perriello is passionateabout is all of the outreach that the policeforce does in the community. With allthe negative attention that police in

different states have been receiving, she thinks it’s important forpeople to remember that there is always more good than bad. ThePelham Police Department sends officers out to check on the elderlyin the town each week, and Lt. Perriello was eager to tell me a

story about an officer who spent a couple of hours last week with awoman (over 100 years old) just helping her do her dishes and sortthrough papers.

What makes police work so important and so valuable inPerriello’s mind is just this. “There is no award, no trophy, at theend of the day. You just know you’re making an impact and helpingsomeone one way or another.”

Perriello is also optimistic about gender equality. When askedwhether she feels the need to act tougher in order to prove herabilities because she is a woman, she said not really. All of themen who she works with treat her as an equal. This isn’t alwaysthe case with civilians when she’s out on the road. She may needto act a little bit tougher because someone she confronts is morelikely to challenge her than to challenge a male. However, she sayswhat’s important is simply talking in an even voice and explainingthe situation without showing fear. Confidence is what makesmuch of the difference because nervousness prompts people to takeadvantage. She believes there are actually many more compliantpeople than there are non-compliant people, though.

Does she have any advice for young girls who want to be leaders,but who feel like they may not be able to? Her advice for everyone,

regardless of sex, would be the same. “Anyone can do anything theyset their mind to. Just work hard, and always step forward, not back.You are capable of setting your own path. Just be mindful of yourchoices and of their effects on your future.”

Lt. Perriello likes to spoil her dog, Jackson.
