Pelham High School 2015 Graduates Accept Life’s Next Challenge

by Len Lathrop“Windham High School is all of the hard work

you put in”, P rincipal elect Robert Dawson toldthe 191 graduates on Friday, June 12 before theywalked across the graduation stage to accepttheir diplomas.

Amanda Forti, class of 2015 Valedictorian,congratulated her peers and friends for “earningthe right to hear people talk at you for a fewhours before you are handed that sweet pleatherbound ticket to freedom.” As the 191 studentsdressed in blue listened, she quoted PsychologistMihaly Csikszentmihalyi, “Happiness is notsomething that happens to people but something

that they make happen.” She told the class “it’stime for us to start taking an active role in ourown happiness. Go forth and embrace the lifeWHS has prepared us for.”

Following the procession of teachers from theupper sport field came the graduates. Whilemany high school graduations are on footballfields, the hilltop where the Jaguars call homeset the stage. Little time is spend on that though,as Class Salutatorian, Madeline Riese, spoke ofbeing nostalgic as the journey of Windham HighSchool was coming to an end. “Simply put,Windham teachers define high school – not inwhat they teach, but in how they teach it. One

thing I can say with certainty is that every studenthere has had their life touched in a positive wayby one of their teachers. The educators hereare like nowhere else – inspiring, supportive,intelligent, caring and passionate.”

While Scholarship Awards, National MeritScholarship Finalist Awards and Departmentawards were presented prior to graduation, a newand special award was announced and presentedfor the first time this year. The faculty created anew tradition, the Windham High School FacultyAward.

Teachers were asked to nominate one studentwho embodied what it means to be a Jaguar.

“It’s time to recognize those of you who havegone above and beyond to be the best you canbe,” said Jill Bartlett, a human performanceteacher, as she and Social Studies teacher, Mr.Cade Nethercott, presented the award. “Youare a reflection of us, and of all the people whohave come to help you mark this rite of passage.”

Barlett continued.Nominated for 2015 were Alexander St.

Cyr, Amanda Forti, Ana Dulskiy, Anthony Gall,Courtney Sweeny, Emily Bouley, Graham Smith,Haley Psares, Hannah Scott, Jack Grubbs, JillianDiPerisio, Johnny Vasconsuelos, Julia Peet, JustinManter, Casey Hampton, KellinBail, Kristin Tilley, Maddie

Joanis, Michael Steffanelli,Nichole Lawrence, PatrickHume, Rachel Lanouette. SamGrubbs, Troy Peters, ZachHollins.

The inaugural WindhamHigh School Faculty Award waspresented to Mr. Anthony Gallo,who will be attending theUniversity of New Hampshire.

Tim Morris, a Windhamnative, was the commencementspeaker. He who at age 26was left paralyzed from a caraccident on Route 93, spoketo the graduates about hisaccident and his life since that

Royal Lords and Ladies Attend Banquet at Ye Olde Midwin Castle

On the 8th day of June, in the year of Our Lord 2015, lords andladies of the realm (seventh graders) were bid hitherto attend KingEdward Nordengren and Queen Erin Shirle’s banquet and paradeat the Olde Midwin Castle (Windham Middle School).

Those in attendance were handsomely dressed in their costumesand the ladies carried bubble-bows (pocketbooks) and all enjoyeda great feast of bellytimber (food). The king and queen expressedgrammarcy (thanks) to all of the lords and ladies for partaking inthe celebration!

Perchance (perhaps) Austin Carrollis giving Jack Flanagan a scolding.

As was customary in medieval days, a food tester (Gavin Wilson) wassummoned by King Edward Nordengren to ensure that the delicious-looking

food served by Neil Rea had not been poisoned.

Connor Leuteritz seems unconcerned about being imprisoned for the offense of“elbows on the table” and kept under the supervision of the Royal Guard:

Jake Rust cautiously asks for permission from the queen who sometimes has a‘nose of wax’ (fickle personality).

Portions of Center School Roof to be Replacedby Barbara O’Brien

After extensive discussion, the majority of school boardmembers have chosen to put off replacing two sections of the roofat Windham Center School, but to move ahead with three other

sections.The only school board member who pushed to replace all thesections of the roof was Dennis Senibaldi, who said he supported areport done during the summer of 2014. “I want to replace as muchas we can,” Senibaldi said. “We should go with the firm that theschool district paid, not other contractors somebody else brings in.”

School board member Rob Breton said he was “very conflicted”on how much of the roof to replace, but eventually went with themajority and voted to take a wait-and-see attitude for the timebeing. “I want to revisit the situation next fall,” Breton said.

School board Vice-Chairman Tom Murray, who said he hadinspected the roof on numerous occasions, along with othercontractors, encouraged Breton to climb up on the roof andtake a look himself. “There’s still life” in the two sections underdiscussion, Murray said. Any leakage that is occurring in this area,Murray explained, is due to a louver that is stuck open, allowingrain to run down inside the walls. Murray said a thermal imagingcamera had been used to check every seam in the roof for possibleleaks, and it was clear that not all sections of the roof have to bereplaced right away.

Chairman Ken Eyring clarified that he “is not a roofer”,” but notedthat he had spent time on the roof last summer with several roofingcontractors, each of whom said these sections do not yet need to bereplaced. “I have a hard time voting to spend money on this portion

of the roof, at this time,” Eyring said.Resident Tony Massahos, a member of the Citizens FacilitiesCommittee, said he had also gone on the roof and believes portionsof the report that was issued last summer are flawed. “If I had fiveto seven years left on my house roof, I wouldn’t be replacing itnow,” Massahos said. “It’s senseless to spend money we don’t haveto spend.” “When you get a wind-driven rain, that’s when you getthe leaks,” he explained, adding that water penetrates the bricks andworks itself inside the building.

School board member Daniel Popovici-Muller recommendedputting a portion of the money aside for one year, then re-evaluatingthe condition of those two sections of roof. Business AdministratorAdam Steel said he was “comfortable” waiting to have these twoportions (C and E) done. “The funds won’t expire,” Steel said.“Waiting is a reasonable risk to take.”

School board members voted 4 to 1 to proceed with replacingsections B, L and J this coming summer. The total cost of the projectis in the vicinity of $42,000. Voting in favor of the motion were KenEyring, Tom Murray, Daniel Popovici-Muller and Rob Breton. Theonly opposing vote was from Dennis Senibaldi.

Amid Laughter and Tears

Pelham Relay For Life Raises $38,000 for Cancer Research

by Rhiannon SnideLaughs were shared, tears were shed, and a

community that could have collapsed under thestress of losing so many loved ones to cancer cametogether stronger than ever at Pelham’s fifth annual Relay for Life.The event brought together more than 187 people who had beenaffected by cancer in some way.

Heading into the event about $35,000 was raised, but after ninehours of walking, selling goods, and camping out at the PelhamHarris track and field, the 27 teams present were able to raiseanother $3,027 for the American Cancer Society. Karen Fournierand Doris Cvinar co-chaired the 18-person committee that spentmonths planning and organizing the fundraiser. Both women havebeen directly affected by cancer after losing loved ones to thedisease.

To commemorate just how many lives the horrible illness hasaffected, this year’s mantra was “everyone has a story.” These storieswere the motivation behind the dedication volunteers demonstratedduring the fundraiser. One team had members fly in from Texas justto participate in the event. Sandra Spanos-Thibodeau has flown toPelham the last three years for the event to commemorate her sister-in-law, Audrey, who lost her fight to cancer two years ago. Herteam, named Audrey’s Legacy, was one of the top fundraising teamsthis year after raising over $6,000 for the American Cancer Society.All teams that participated in the Relay for Life had individual waysof raising money; those who attended the event could purchasevarious goods from the teams as they walked around the Harris track

behind Pelham Elementary.Each hour of the event had a theme for those who walked around

the track to partake in; some themes involved dressing up, whileothers involved walking a certain way, but the most popular andheart-wrenching hour was the luminaria. This involved the lightingof candles inside paper lanterns that which volunteers could placearound the track dedicated to their loved ones, along with the

revelation of a large “HOPE” written with similar lanternson the bleachers next to the track. For one hour silenceand the lighting of these lanterns, not only honors all thoseaffected by cancer, but provides hope and support to all who

participate.Fournier believes that the entire event is not only a way to provide

hope and support to people affected by the disease, but “is a wayfor us to end the fight once and for all.” Anyone interested inparticipating, or donating to the organization in the future is urged tovisit www.relayforlife.org/pelhamnh for more information.

eam ‘Pajama Drama’ raises money by selling baked goods. Cancer survivors enjoy dinner at the event.

“HOPE” is displayed using luminaria on Harris Pelham Track bleachers.

Appreciates Adam Steel’s Commitment to Windham School District

Last week, I read a few letters in the Windham Independent that criticizedan extraordinary school employee, Mr. Adam Steel. Our school districtis full of many talented professionals and when our community members

treat them poorly by writing tainted stories, I feel compelled to tell youabout their contributions to our district. Our leaders, our teachers, and ourstudents far exceed the normal expectations of a school district and it is timeto praise them, not to knock them down.

I would like to share some of Mr. Steel’s accomplishments while employedin the Windham School District.

Mr. Steel’s initiatives as business administrator have resulted in tax sav ingsfor the people of Windham. e Food service program that was previouslylosing money ($50,000) was brought in-house and currently has a totalsurplus of over $200,000. e refinancing of the WHS bonds resulted in$1 million savings for the district. His commitment to energy conservationhas saved the district $100,000 in electricity costs by joining the NashuaRegional Planning Commission’s electricity bid and $43,000 savings withRecycling/Refuse bid.

Mr. Steel’s high level of a ttention to details has resulted in successive cleanfinancial audits for the first time in years. His attention to detail led tosignificant improvement in the bus transportation. He also commissionedand developed the Capital Needs Assessment (CNA) plan that outlinescapital projects and large maintenance projects for the next 20 years.

Mr. Steel’s strong leadership abilities were seen in the management of thekindergarten project as it was on time and under budget. He also served as

chief mediator for teacher contract negotiations, which led to a successfulteacher contract.Mr. Steel’s commitment to the safety of our students has been seen in the

construction of a secure entry into Golden Brook School and the placementof video cameras at all our schools. Mr. Steel significantly improved allsafety procedures and protocols and works closely with all local life-safetyagencies.

ese are some of the tangible successes that Mr. Steel has implementedin our district. What is not measureable is his presence in our district. Heis highly respected by his colleagues, the teachers and the students. He goesout of his way to be present at many of the student events and communityevents. He provides stability and reassurance and a true commitment to the Windham School District.

e Windham School District is a community to be proud of its’accomplishments and dedication to education. For the past ten years, Mr.Steel has contributed to success of our district. And I would like to thankMr. Steel and all of the people who go above and beyond in making ourschools a place that I love to send my children.

Recognizing the Spin and Changingthe Culture

Wikipedia defines “Spin” as “a form of propaganda, achieved throughproviding an interpretation of events to persuade public opinion infavor or against some organization or public figure” and it “often impliesdisingenuous, deceptive and/or highly manipulative tactics.” After readingsome opinions printed in last week’s paper which implied that WindhamSchool Board (SB) Chairman Ken Eyring is stifling educational leaders, thespin meter hit an all-time high.

To allege that the exodus of administrators as well as teachers is a directresult of three months of a new SB/new chairman rule is irresponsible andprofoundly inaccurate. To try to sway people into thinking that Mr. Eyringhas been micromanaging our administrators and teachers and that h e is thereason that they are leaving is pure fiction. All of the administrators thathave recently left began their searches prior to when the new school boardand the new chairman were elected. e same goes for many, if not all ofthe teachers as well.

As long as the cause of the school district’s turnover problems aremisdiagnosed, the mass exodus of highly qualified educators will continue.Many teachers are leaving because they are stifled by Administration. Formany of them, the culture in our school is broken. Reach out to some of theteachers who have recently left and learn for yourself firsthand. e entire Windham SB wants to address this problem. In an effort to empower ouramazing teachers and employees to speak out without fear of reprimandor retribution, to gain knowledge from them as to the issues that they faceand to encourage them to help us repair and strengthen our system, the SB will soon enable every district employee to provide their insights via a trulyanonymous survey.

Culture change starts at the top and the next Windham Superintendent,interim and permanent, should bring a new vision of cooperation andcollaboration to our school community. In order to understand the district’sneeds, it is essential that the next Superintendent have personal experienceas a School Administrator and an intimate knowledge of curriculum. Heor she must be able to demonstrate previous success as a Principal, AssistantSuperintendent and/or Superintendent and show an ability to easilycollaborate with Administrators, Teachers and staff.

We also need unbiased SB members and residents involved in the hiringprocess to ensure that it is impartial, non partisan and fair. is may bedifficult when two current SB members have been a ctively and vigorouslyendorsing one of our in-district candidates. eir actions discourage

qualified candidates from applying and put unsolicited pressure on theSuperintendent Search Committee. Fortunately, the remaining SB membershave declared their objectivity and I have faith that other members of theSuperintendent Search Committee will be able to see through this bias, giveevery applicant a fair shot, choose wisely and thoughtfully, and do what is in

the best interest of the students and taxpayers of Windham.I am looking forward to “changing philosophies, differing ideas about

curriculum and a change in strategies of leadership.” We do not need thesame status quo that got our district into its current chaotic state. e

weaknesses and inadequacies of previous SBs and Administrations must beovercome (or at least neutralized) if we a re to accomplish this mission andgive our children the school experience that they deserve.

Cynthia Finn, Windham

Windham cannot afford theHigh Cost of the WC

Anyone who watches a school board meeting, walks the halls of ourschools, drives our roads or follows real estate prices can see the damagedone to Windham by th e Windham Taxpayers Coalition and their membersserving on town board boards. We have some of the most overcrowdedschools in the state, teachers and administrators are leaving in droves, ateacher turnover rate of 30 percent, inadequate a thletic facilities, thirdgraders in the high school (leaving the high school at capacity) and facilitiesin need of significant repairs. e problems are not just on the school side,our police department is no longer adequate, our municipal buildings are inneed of replacement, our roads are in disrepair and are improperly plowedin the winter. I can think of no other town that has as many snow relatedschool bus accidents as Windham. All of these problems are a direct result

of the WTC’s penny wise and pound foolish attitude towards investments.I will agree that we ha ve saved some money on taxes by ignoring these

problems for the last few years, but that is only half the equation. We needto look at both sides of the ledger sheet to determine if the WTC and itsleaders have made solid financial decisions with our money. I stronglybelieve we need to invest in our infrastructure, especially the schools. emost significant factor in determining a home’s value is the quality of thelocal schools. To truly solve our school problems we need a new middleschool, which according to three different architectural firms would solveour problems and cost $30-35 million. On a 30 years bond that would costthe town approximately $1 per thousand in its highest year, on an averag ehome that is $400 per year. We now know the benefit the WTC has givenus $400 per year, for the last five years that is $2,000 in savings.

What is the cost? Poor education, kids under 14 will spend their entireeducational career in overcrowded classrooms, Golden Brook has been shutdown each of the last 3 winters, and we have had mold problems in ourportables. Any parent of a young child should be angered that their kids will not get the same quality education that my kids received. e list ofproblems is longer but it is quantifiable. e financial cost to each homeowner in this district can be determined by reviewing home values for thelast five years. According to Trulia, home sale values in Windham haverisen 3.7 percent. A home in Windham valued at $400,000 in 2010 is worth $415,000 today. If we compare that to neighboring towns, who haveinvested in their schools, we come up short. Pelham home sale values are up22 percent in the same time period, Salem, Londonderry and Bedford areall up 15 percent. Had Windham property values kept pace that $400,000home would have appreciated to $460,000, a $45,000 difference. Do youremember when a similar home would cost more in Windham than Pelham;that is no longer the case.

A $2,000 benefit and a $45,000 cost. You do not have to be in financeto know that is a very bad investment. We can thank Ken Eyring, BruceBreton, Rick Okerman and the rest of the WTC for the damage they did toour property values. It is time we protected our greatest single investmentand say no to the WTC. Windham needs to move forward before we losemore money. Please get involved in any way you can. Tell the boards yousupport Windham.

School Board on Right rackwith External Interim Superintendent SearchI have been reading a lot in the media lately about the manner in which

our School Board is approaching their search for a new Superintendent, andI have to say that I agree with the track the majority of the Board membershave chosen.

As a School Board, they have only one direct report, and that person will have to be someone who can not only support the teachers, staffand administrators when dealing with the School Board, but – of equal

importance, that person will also have to be someone who can support theSchool Board when dealing with the teachers, staff and administrators …and when dealing with potential contractors.

ere’s the rub. e Superintendent will have to be someone who the

School Board can unequivocally rely on when dealing with third partiesoutside of the board meetings. Would you promote someone who, whileemployed as staff, stated to a potential contractor (this is excerpted from anactual email to Cenergistic, dated Dec. 10, 2014):

“For the Windham School District, our Board typically requires acompetitive process to select vendors for service of this type. I would liketo avoid that requirement for this circumstance as I am not confident thereare other capable vendors in the area. One thing that will help us win thatbattle with our Board will be confidence that I was able to negotiate anaggressive agreement between the District and your company.”

I don’t see how I could, given the last two sentences of the a bove excerpt.ey appear to be at odds with the best interests of the School District andSchool Board. Unfortunately, this only got worse when – at the Januarymeeting wherein the $577,000 Cenergistic contract was hastily approvedby two former Board members and Dennis Senibaldi (none of whom hadeven read the contract before voting on it!), the ongoing communicationsbetween Cenergistic and the School District were never mentioned.

e majority of the School Board knows that the pool of highly qualifiedsuperintendent candidates is a small one and therefore, to best ful fill theirduty to us – the voters who put them there, they need - must , cast a widernet to seek possible external candidates.

As a Selectman, I can appreciate the difficulties inherent in the SchoolBoard members’ jobs and I truly believe they have the hardest citizen jobsin town. I am pleased that we have a School Board that is getting involved with significant hiring decisions (as they should), holding staff accountableto purchasing policies (competitive bids are a great tool for accomplishingthe Board’s fiduciary duty), assuming and fulfilling their responsibilitiesas a board, and making great strides in the conduct of their business (e.g.,record-setting acceptance of public input, recognizing when they need tohold additional meetings).

Looking at external candidates for an interim Superintendent to serve ourSchool Board and not to create battles behind our elected leaders’ backs is animportant decision. is past March, the voters overwhelmingly put theirtrust in those individuals who now comprise the majority on the Board and who are now seeking to cast a wider net in order to find a strong candidate who – among other qualities, will be responsible for fiscal accountability(e.g., seeking competitive bids) and will not betray our trust by trying tocreate battles behind the backs of our Board members.

In sum, I applaud the School Board’s decision to seek external candidatesfor an interim Superintendent.

No Increase inSchool Lunch Prices

by Barbara O’BrienUnlike recent years, there will be no increase in the prices of school lunches at

Windham public schools when classes resume at the end of the summer.Gradual increases have gone into effect during the past few years due to mandates

from the federal government. This coming school year, however, New Hampshire hasbeen granted “a price hike exemption.” The exemption was granted by the federalgovernment because the existing lunch program is considered to be “fiscally sound.”

Breakfast and lunch meals are served in each of the four schools on a daily basisduring the school week. Breakfast is offered as a boost for student focus on learning.Each lunch is composed of five food groups; meat, grain, vegetables, fruits, and milk.Students must select one serving of vegetable or one serving of fruit along with at least 2other meal items to qualify as a school priced meal.

Prices will continue at the current level of: kindergarten through fifth grade $2.25;

sixth through eighth grade $2.35; and high school (grades 9 through 12) $2.75. Ifdesired, a student may choose an item from all five food groups for the same price.Incomplete meals will be charged the more costly a la carte prices. Cashiers willremind students that they have an incomplete meal before charging a la carte prices.

According to Nutrition Services Director Rhonda Peckham, participation in theschool lunch program has been increasing during the past few years. Approximately40 percent of students attending Windham schools buy their lunches at school, district-wide. There has also been an increase in the variety and purchase of “smart snacks,”items that must meet federal guidelines for their healthy nutritional content.

Step Taken in Resolving Carbon DioxideProblem at Golden Brook

by Barbara O’Brien

Windham School Board members voted unanimously to take thefirst step in resolving the carbon dioxide problem at Golden BrookSchool. A higher than recommended level of carbon dioxide wasdetected in several areas of Golden Brook during tests taken thispast winter. Carbon dioxide buildup generally results in “stale air”and can make people, especially children, somewhat lethargic.

During a board meeting earlier this month, Vice-ChairmanTom Murray said he and Business Administrator Adam Steel hadconsulted with an engineering firm concerning how best to resolvethe problem. “The best way to solve the problem is also the most

costly,” Murray explained, addingthat “it’s probably not goingto happen at this point.” “Itprobably won’t happen this year,”he said.

School board member DennisSenibaldi didn’t agree withputting the project on hold. “Idon’t want to wait,” Senibaldisaid, commenting that so much“hub-bub” had been made of the

problem earlier this year.” I wantthis done sooner. It’s a life-safetyissue,” Senibaldi said, urginghis fellow board members touse some of the school district’s“surplus money.”

“It’s a very difficult problemto solve,” Murray said. “There’sa lot of work involved.” The

project would involve installing a state-of-the-art heat recovery

system. “That’s the way these things are done today. It’s the mostefficient way, but also the most expensive. There is no quickanswer,” Murray said.

The cost of installing rooftop units to bring fresh air into thebuilding could amount to about $200,000. In the meantime,however, the process could get started. The estimated cost of hiringa consultant to do a conceptual design would be approximately$15,000.

Chairman Ken Eyring supported moving forward with the designconcept being done. “I don’t feel we should hold off,” he said.“This is a fairly serious issue.” School board member Rob Bretonsaid he believes having the design for a rooftop unit done now is “astep in the right direction.” “It shows we are committed to fixing theproblem,” Breton said. “It is a concern.”

School board member Daniel Popovici-Muller said he was“strongly in favor of moving forward.” “This gives us a good chanceof fixing the problem,” Popovici-Muller said. “It is not wastedmoney.”

On a vote of 5 to 0, board members approved spending upto $15,000 for a design concept for a rooftop unit to resolve theexisting carbon dioxide issue at Golden Brook School. “We’ll get

the design done,” Steel said, “then put it out to bid.” If the bidsare received by the end of 2015, and if the pending Option 2+renovation and addition project for Golden Brook doesn’t pass nextMarch, “we’ll be ready to move forward” with the rooftop unit, Steelexplained.

Voting in favor of spending up to $15,000 for a design conceptwere Ken Eyring, Tom Murray, Rob Breton, Daniel Popovici-Mullerand Dennis Senibaldi. There was no input from the public on theschool board’s decision.

Troop 266 Earns Distinction as Third in NH to Reach 100 Eagle Scouts

Crowds Flock to Pelham Senior Center’s Strawberry Festival

O’Halloran Irish Step Dancers entertain the crowd.

by Rhiannon SnideThe Pelham Senior Center has set the bar

high after upholding its 30-plus year traditionof hosting an annual Strawberry Festival.On June 13 crowds were drawn to thePelham Senior Center to engage in raffles,strawberry shortcake, entertainment, andsome shopping.

“We have had trouble with the turnoutthe past couple of years,” explained SaraLandry, the event coordinator and directorof the Pelham Senior Center. “Due to theconstruction around town it was hard forpeople to get here, but this year has beengreat so far; one of the best turn outs I’veseen in a while.” The delicious strawberryshortcake and welcoming smiles ofvolunteers weren’t the only enticing aspectsof this festival; several performances andforms of entertainment helped draw in thecrowds as well.

Those who attended could enjoytheir lunches outside under tents whilelistening to several performances by the

award-winning Showcase Quartet. Followingthe a capella group were several dances by theO’Halloran Irish step dancers which mesmerizedcrowds. In between performances kids couldenjoy a variety of balloon animals made byCheerio the clown; along with personalizedcaricatures drawn by self-made artist Liane Brown.Vendors set up tables inside the Senior Center

where people could buy anything from handmadebags to glass bottles and products.

The entire event raised money for Pelham’sCouncil on Aging to help with the costs involvedin planning their annual Christmas party. Througha bake sale, raffles set up for people to winanything from a board games to a spa day, and theseveral vendors who rented spaces at the festival;the council was able to raise a few thousanddollars toward their Christmas party. Parties aren’tthe only thing on the council’s mind though, asSara Landry explained, “the council doesn’t onlysupport the senior center, they try to supportthe entire community.” Through scholarshipsfor graduating seniors, and events similar to theStrawberry Festival, the Council on Aging’s sixboard members try to help out in the Pelhamcommunity as much as possible.

by Rhiannon SnideWindham’s Eagle Scout Troop 266 has officially earned its spot

as New Hampshire’s third troop to reach 100 Eagle Scouts. Tocommemorate the achievement, Committee Chair Jim Dreyfuss andEvent Coordinator Dan Shattuck organized a ceremony honoring notonly their troop’s achievement, but the achievements of all Scoutingtroops in Windham.

Dreyfuss commented, “honoring this achievement for our troop isimportant, but we are also here to commend all scouts of Windhamfor their achievements.” Dreyfuss was pleased to find that duringthe planning prior to the ceremony an additional four Eagle Scoutsfinished their projects and earned their badges. This brought Troop266 to a total of 104 Eagle Scouts. The ceremony honored each of

the 104 Eagle Scouts, as well as Girl Scout Gold Award recipientswith accolades from several state officials, including video messagesfrom U.S. senators Jeanne Shaheen and Kelly Ayotte.

The title of an Eagle Scout is something only about 7 percentof Boy Scouts ever achieve as the distinction requires earning 21merit badges, serving six months in a “troop leader position,” andcompleting a service project for “any religious organization or

any school or any community.” The projects completed by Troop226’s Eagle Scouts included the re-numbering of mailboxes aroundWindham, to the building of rest area benches in and around towntrails. The estimated value of all Troop 226’s projects is around ahalf a million dollars, “half of the total money raised by all troops inthe Nutield District,” said Dan Sheppard, Daniel Webster Councilmember.

More than 63,284 hours of community service hours havealso been served by scouts in the Nutfield District. Mr. Sheppardexpressed his appreciation for the scouts’ dedication and welcomedboth the new and old scouts alike to “a brotherhood across thecountry” in his speech at the ceremony. Representative MaryGriffith commended the Scouts for “measuring up in the right way”

by dedicating themselves to servicing others and bettering theircommunities.

The ceremony presented both old and new Eagle Scouts. About40 Scouts, some who received their Eagle Scout title over 40 yearsago, attended the ceremony. The longest tenured Eagle Scoutpresent at the ceremony was Harry Burnham, who has served withthe Scouts for 70 years. He shared stories of how different Scouting

was years ago, and urged the younger Scouts to “appreciate thepaths made by your forefathers that helped you get where you aretoday.” While the new Eagle Scouts certainly had help to reach theirtitles, it was clear their hard work, dedication, and perseveranceplayed a large role in helping all 104 of them reach their goals.

by Barbara O’BrienA few weeks ago, members of the Windham

School Board decided to establish a sub-committee intended to deal with issues relatedto the maintenance of existing school districtfacilities. The committee was establishedfollowing the hiring of a facilities manager. Theposition had been approved by voters this pastMarch.

The building and grounds committee is notrelated to the existing school facilities planningcommittee, whose job it is to come up with aviable option for dealing with the school district’s

space crunch.Following the receipt of numerous letters of

interest from Windham residents and schooldistrict employees, the following were chosento comprise the new building and groundscommittee: Adam Steel: Director of Business,Finance, and Operations; John Pratte: FacilityManager; Roger Preston: MaintenanceCoordinator; Tom Murray: School BoardRepresentative; and community members: JerryRufo, Paul Gosselin, Charlie Burzlaff, Robert St.Laurent and Gary Carbonneau.

by Lynne Ober Did you even know there was a disc golf course hidden within Pelham’s Muldoon Park?

Recently they held a disc golf tournament that drew more than 70 disc golfers from twostates. This is a growing sport with professionals participating as well as families withyoung kids.

Disc golf is played much like traditional golf. Instead of a ball and clubs, however,players use a flying disc, similar to a Frisbee®. The sport was formalized in the 1970s,and shares with “ball golf” the object of completing each hole in the fewest strokes (or,in the case of disc golf, fewest throws). A Frisbee-like golf disc is thrown from a teearea to a target that is the “hole.” The hole can be one of a number of disc golf targets;the most common is called a Pole Hole®, an elevated metal basket, and that’s what thePelham course has. As a player progresses down the fairway, he or she must make eachconsecutive throw from the spot where the previous throw has landed. The trees, shrubs,and terrain changes located in and around the fairways provide challenging obstacles forthe golfer. Finally, the “putt” lands in the basket and the hole is completed. Disc golfshares many of the same joys and frustrations of traditional golf, whether it’s sinking a longputt or hitting a tree halfway down the fairway. However, with regular golf, your ball rarelysplits in two, but in disc golf that frequently happens. There are few differences, though.Disc golf rarely requires a greens fee, you won’t need to rent a cart, and you never get stuckwith a bad “tee time.”

Relocating a Bevy of Bats in the Attic

by Barbara O’BrienIt could cost Windham taxpayers about $10,000 to solve the bat

and squirrel infestation in the town-owned Armstrong Building onNorth Lowell Road. The building, which houses many of the town’shistoric artifacts, as well as the cable television studio, is next doorto town hall.

Town Administrator David Sullivan said he had gottenthree quotes from professional pest removal services and wasin the process of evaluating them. He said he will make a

recommendation to the board of selectmenduring its June 29 meeting. The money to payfor the removal and relocation of the bat colonywould be taken from the property trust funds;money already allocated in the 2015 town

budget.The bat problem has been escalating in recent

weeks. Not only are the bats on the increase,but their excrement (guano) is piling up. Thesituation has become a health problem andneeds to be resolved, Sullivan said. The bats,plus a number of squirrels, are hanging out inthe attic of the historical stone building.

New Hampshire is home to eight species ofbats. Six of those species are “of conservationconcern”: the Eastern Red Bat, Silver-Hairedbat, Northern Long-eared Bat, Tri-Colored Bat,

Hoary Bat and the Eastern Small-Footed Bat. Other New Hampshirespecies are Little Brown Bat and Big Brown Bat. One of the species,the Northern Long-Eared Bat has also been added to the federalendangered species, due to the devastation caused by an invasivefungus known as white-nose syndrome. Listing a species as beingthreatened means that any trafficking, injuring or killing of thatanimal is prohibited.

Bats like to roost in attics because they are hot, safe places to raisetheir young, which are called pups. Bats give birth to pups frommid-May to mid-August. The pups learn to fly within a few weeks,but still need a safe place to roost for several more weeks. Accordingto New Hampshire Field and Game, New Hampshire bats generallyleave attics in mid-August and head farther south to seek a safe placeto hibernate for the winter. Most of them head for caves and deserted

mines as their cold weather havens.Being a protected species, it is illegal to kill bats. They must be

relocated; not always any easy task to accomplish. Sullivan saidthat bats are creatures of habit and have been known to return to alocation, from which they were removed, from as far away as 1,000miles.

Bats, which live up to 40 years, are not always a nuisance,however. A single little brown bat can eat up to 1,000 mosquitoesin just one hour. In a single night, a bat can eat its own weight ininsects. They use echolocation to hunt at night, preferring to hangout in rafters and sleep the day away.

Crossing Life Church Welcomed Community to First-ever Car Show

tiby Rhiannon Snide

On June 6 Windham’s Crossing Life Church once againbrought the community together by hosting anotherCommunity Day Festival. While the church is known for theirquarterly festivals, annual pumpkin festivals, and ongoing artshows, this second annual Community Day encompassed thechurch’s first-ever car show.

Residents of Windham were welcomed to bring any and allcars to the church for festival-goers to view. Anything from1960s Mustangs to modern-day Mazdas could be seen at theshow. With a turnout of over 15 cars the church hopes tocontinue with at least two more car shows this summer, and

include them in several festivals to come. Along with the car

show the church hosted a barbeque and bake sale to raisemoney for a mission trip to Haiti.

Across from the church, while the festival took place, abarn sale was held. All proceeds from the barn sale, whichis held twice a month, benefit the Church and Taylor CountryDay Care Center. L ive bands, like Cow Hampshire Folk,entertained festival-goers throughout the day. Pastor ShawnFoster hoped to “bring back a heart for the community” byinviting, not only members of the church, but all residentsof Windham to the event. Foster was thrilled to see such alarge turnout at the festival, and plans to continue to bring theWindham community together with festivals, pumpkin fests,

and car shows in the future.

Forget the Greens Fees and Try Disc Golf

The interesting thing about disc golf is that men andwomen play together in the tournament. The courses arefrequently quite hilly as the Muldoon course is. Most ofthe disc golfers carry bags because they have a variety ofFrisbee-like discs. There are drivers, putters and a rangeof other discs. The discs are quite colorful and eachgolfer writes his or her name and number on the disc– just in case the disc goes astray. If your course has awater challenge your disc can easily end up in the water.

A recent tournament at Muldoon Park was part ofthe 2015 Live Free or Die Disc Golf Tour, which is aseries of 13 tournaments around New Hampshire thissummer. Sponsored by Bill and Norma Bruce, ownersof Breakin’Chains, a NH disc golf store, Boy Scout Troop610 partnered with them to provide a barbeque at lunchfor the players.

Dylan Adjutat came to play. “I’ve been playing forthree or four years, and now I play every week. I play

in a Tag League and love the exercise and time in thewoods.”

Scoutmaster Rodney Thompson said the troop wantedto sponsor a disc golf tournament and then decided towork with the Bruce’s on the Pelham tournament. “Weare providing a barbeque lunch with typical barbequefood for purchase. Proceeds of the lunch will help payfor our St. Croix high adventure camping trip. Thispartnership was win-win for both the Scouts and thetournament organizers.”

This year Pelham’s course is also home to a disc golfleague that meets on Sundays and Tuesdays. Unlikeother sports , any age can play. “ I often see familiesplaying on courses,” said Bill Bruce. “This morning wehave more men, but also some women registered to play.Since the courses are free to play on, more and more

people are trying it and finding that it’s great exercise.We are happy to be in Pelham today.”

Warm-ups on the practice tee before beginning require a lot of body English and concentration.

day. He now participates in both Spartan Racesand Tough Mudder events. He is recognizedas the first T4 paraplegic to complete a ToughMudder race. He told the graduates about hisdaily struggles; he told them about workingtoward goals emphasizing hard work, and that heknows he will walk again one day and will notstop until he does. “The world is yours for thetaking,” he said “Go get it”

Superintendent Winfried Feneberg presentedthe candidates to the School Board representedby its chairman Mr. Ken Erying, who declared theseniors, graduate, and conferred the diplomas.

“In a few short months we are going tobe vulnerable again.” she explained, “Everydecision we make will have a lasting effect onour futures. I hope you will use the experiencesyou have gained here at Pelham High to gageyour future in the direction you want it togo.” While urging the class to “embrace theuncertainty” of their futures she also remindedeveryone to “never forget your biggestsupporters. Our parents, teachers, and coachesare the backbone to all of our success … Theyhave always been there to pick us up when wehave fallen, and now we are strong enough topick ourselves up.”

Focusing less on the change to come, andmore on the memories from high school thatwill be cherished was Christopher Day, classsalutatorian. He began “eventually you will look back on high school and miss it”;something most of his classmates seemed to hear in disbelief. “You will look back with fondmemories on the rooms with no windows and super small lockers that hardly fit your winter

jacket. Yes, we will look back on these four years and remember the good times, eventhough right now at this moment, we are thrilled to be moving on past h igh school intothe future!” Ending his speech Chris urged his class to pursue lives that allow them to “behappy, and make others happy.”

Class valedictorian Michael Camire was very wrong when he said that everyonelistening “drew the short stick in terms of avaledictorian who will deliver a touching,funny and unforgettable commencementspeech.” He gave great advice to hisfellow classmates saying “life is full of upsand downs. You will have good days and bad days, you will make friendsand lose friends, and you will have both failures and successes” andreminding them that “no matter what happens, it is important to nevergive up, never lose hope, and keep moving forward.” Michael closed hisspeech by reminding everyone that “everything is temporary. The baddays will go by; don’t let them get to you, and don’t let them deter youfrom following your dreams…cherish the good days, and hold on to thosememories”

Class Essayist Andrea O’Hearn encourages theclass to ‘embrace the uncertainty’

that is about to come.
