Low Turnout, Few Questions
at School District Session
JAY HOBSON
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
ust seventy-one residents, out of 15,944
registered voters, turned out for Saturday’s Londonderry School District
Deliberative Session.
While the purpose of
the meeting is to discuss
the articles on the school
warrant, Moderator Bob
Saur said, little of that
went on. All articles went
to the March 11 secret
ballot unchanged.
Article 2, a $4 million
bond for renovations and
construction, led resident
Al Baldasaro to ask about
the tax impact on the full
amount of the bond over
10 years. The first year
J
impact on a payment of
$65,000 was $0.02 per
thousand.
School District Business Administrator Peter
Curro said the impact
would be “$0.15 for two
years, $0.14 for two years,
$0.13 for two years, and
12 cents so forth and so
on” for the 10 years of the
note. “The last year it’s
$0.12,” Curro said.
Baldasaro asked about
the district’s total bond
debt, and Curro said it
was $16.2 million, well
below the limit at $186
million.
School board member
John Laferriere said that
given the amount of work
to be done, the board con-
sidered it prudent to
bond the projects. “If we
don’t bond, we’re fearful
we will have to do this
year after year, and the
impact to the taxpayer
will be more significant to
the taxpayer than the
bond,” he said.
Resident Ray Breslin
said he didn’t see any
quotes for the work and
Curro said that when they
begin the process of
bonding, they go to
experts to determine
what each project would
cost, then come up with a
figure for the bond total.
“If the bond is approved, then we go out to
bid,” Curro said.

intent on seeing Jon

plain that they aren’t willing to take “no” for an
answer from school superintendent Nate Greenberg

or the school board.
After having representatives

the

the last two board meetings, on Jan. 7 and 30 - but
being told that their

oters made no
changes to any warrant articles at Saturday’s Town Deliberative
Session, with all articles
now set to face residents
at the secret ballot election March 11.
The Deliberative Session attracted just 71 residents out of the Town’s
15,944 registered voters.
The session lasted about
two and one-half hours.
Among the articles
eliciting comments was
Article 2, which seeks to
divide the elected Town
Clerk/Tax Collector into
two separate positions.
The elected Town Clerk
would not be eligible for
retirement and medical
V
benefits and would be
part time. The Tax Collector would be appointed.
Town Manager Kevin
Smith said the combined
position currently costs
$140,000. By separating it
in two, the Town Clerk
would receive $30,000
with no benefits and the
tax collector portion of
the job would be absorbed by current staff,
thereby saving $110,000.
Resident Al Baldasaro
asked if a part-time town
clerk would be able to
handle the work. Smith
responded that many
towns have part-time
Town Clerks.
Resident Bob Saur
questioned whether a
part-time clerk would
have time to work elec-
tions. Resident Pauline
Caron said a part-time
Town Clerk was shortchanging residents, as his
or her availability would
be reduced.
Article 4, the fiscal
year operating budget of
$28,054,908, with a default
of $28,086,186, brought a
question from resident
Robert LeBreux, who asked if it included four new

Flea Market’s Former Owner May Still Have Liability
JAY HOBSON
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
he former owner of
a Londonderry flea
market on Route
102 near the Hudson border is being sued by
Coach, Inc., a manufacturer of leather products
such as handbags.
The suit alleges that
Peter J. Sapalis knew of
and did nothing to stop
the sale of counterfeit
Coach products.
Coach claims contributory trademark counterfeiting, contributory trademark infringement, contributory trade dress infringement, contributory
false designation of origin
and false advertising, contributory trademark dilution, contributory copyright infringement, state
common law trademark
infringement and state
common law unfair competition.
According to the United States District Court
for the District of New
T
Hampshire in Coach, et al
vs. Peter J. Sapalis, et al,
the court granted a
motion for summary judgment requested by Sapalis on the last count but
denied it on all other
counts.
According to court
documents, Sapalis sold
his flea market business
to his daughter Alaina
Paul and TABA Enterprises in February 2008. Most
of the evidence presented
by Sapatis and Londonderry Marketplace concerns events surrounding
Sapatis’s sale of the flea
market. In contrast, nearly all the evidence presented by Coach relates
to events occurring after
the sale.
The document states
that since the sale of the
flea market to Paul and
TABA in 2008, Paul has
paid Sapatis $12,000 each
year toward the outstanding balance she owes him
- currently $40,000 although she is unsure
how and when these payments have been made.
Each of Paul’s payments
is completely offset by an
annual gift of $12,000 that
Sapatis makes to Paul,
and none of these transactions have been recorded, nor has interest accrued on the outstanding
balance.
Coach, Inc. alleges in
its civil suit that Sapatis
and Londonderry Marketplace knew or should
have known that copyright infringement and
trademark dilution were
being conducted on the
property owned by Sapatis by businesses selling
“knockoff” goods bearing
the Coach brand.
The complaint states
that “on or about June 26,
2011 an investigator for
Coach visited Londonderry Marketplace and observed approximately 30
different vendors selling
and/or offering for sale
the infringeing products.
The investigator made six
different purchases of the
infringeing products. The
investigator
handed
Defendant Sapatis a cease
and desist order. With
Defendant Sapatis’ permission, the investigator
and Sapatis’ assistant
Linda Morrow handed
cease and desist letters to
the
vendors
selling
and/or offering for sale
the Infringeing Products.”
The complaint further
states that a letter in addition to the June 26, 2011
cease and desist letter
was sent via FedEx by
Coach, Inc. in-house counsel Tiffany Walden to 5
Avery Road and was
signed for by a J. Sapatis.
that on Aug. 13, 2011 a
Coach investigator visited
the Marketplace and
found approximately 200
counterfeit Coach products and bought a counterfeit item.
On April 29, 2012 the
complaint states that
another investigator from
Coach visited Londonderry Marketplace and
observed vendors selling
counterfeit Coach, Inc.
products, which triggered
another cease and desist
letter dated May 14, 2011.
On Oct. 21. 2012, an
investigator from Coach,
Inc. visited Londonderry
Marketplace and observed approximately 12
vendors selling counterfeit Coach products. The
investigator made six different purchases, including a baseball cap, wallet,
belt, two wristlets and a
hat and scarf set.
that with the hand delivered cease and desist letter, the cease and desist
letter handed out to vendors with Sapatis’ permission, and the FedEx cease
and desist letter, Sapatis
knew of the infringements
to Coach’s product, and
subsequent visits by
investigators showed that
Sapatis did nothing to
stop the infringement.
All of the counts stem
from the allegation that
Sapatis knew of the infractions at his business and
by not stopping them,
contributed to the infractions.
Coach in its complaint
asks the court to grant an
injunction restraining Sapatis from: manufacturing, importing or advertising or selling any products that bear the Coach
Trademark or engaging in
any practice or activity
constituting unfair competition with Coach;
engaging in any activity
that might dilute the
Coach brand; requiring
Sapatis to recall from any
distributor and retailers
and to deliver to Coach
for destruction any and
all remaining inventory of
the infringing products;
requiring Sapatis to provide the court and Coach
a written report that he
has complied with the
injunction; directing such
other relief as the court
may deem appropriate;
awarding Coach $2 million per counterfeit mark
per type of infringing
products or alternatively
ordering Sapatis to account to and pay Coach
all profits realized by
their wrongful acts, and
awarding Coach its actual
damages and directing
that such profits or actual
damages be trebled.
The Complaint also
asks that Coach be awarded statutory damages,
actual and punitive damages, attorney fees, investigatory fees and expenses to the full extent of the
law, awarding Coach prejudgment interest on any
monetary award and
awarding Coach further
relief as the court deems
just and proper.

LHS Students Honor Veterans, Who Honor Others in Return
JAY HOBSON
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
ary Shank, advisor for the National Honor Society
chapter at Londonderry
High School, has been
working with Society
members to raise money
for Harbor Homes, which
provides housing for
homeless veterans. The
students held a Dodge
Ball tournament and
raised $2,000, which a
group of them recently
presented to Harbor
Homes officials.
“We are just amazed at
the incredible generosity
and imaginative fundraising efforts of your
school,” said Peter Kelleher, president and chief
executive officer of Harbor Homes. “Our veterans
are so appreciative of
your gifts to them. We are
always in need, as our veteran population continues to grow. It’s so wonderful to receive such
compassion from our
M
young people and their
teachers and families.”
The donations began,
according to Roger Sampson, a Marine and the
computer support specialist at Londonderry
High, when students became involved with veterans after reading “Sunflower,” which takes place
during the Holocaust, as
previously reported by
the Londonderry Times.
The students asked
Sampson, as a veteran, if
American veterans faced
moral dilemmas, and he
convened a panel of veterans for the students to
question.
The veterans met with
the students and when it
was over, their teacher,
Kelly Giguere, asked one
of her students to design
a thank you card. That
transformed into something all her students, day
and adult education, took
part in.
Sampson delivered the
thank you cards, 150 in

total, to the veterans who
attended the school’s Pay
It Forward Club’s Veterans Day breakfast.
He presented additional cards to veterans at
Dalianis House, one of the
Harbor Homes facilities
for homeless veterans in
Nashua.
“The veterans were
overwhelmed,” he said,
noting that he was given a
tour of the building and
advised about the veterans’ needs. While they get
food from a food bank,
the homeless families
need furnishings, bedding, silverware, dishes,
pans, laundry soap, pillows, and staples like feminine hygiene and personal products.
Sampson said he decided to see what help he
could procure from some
of the LHS teachers.
“The faculty was so
enthusiastic in their desire to help, and pretty
soon donations were
coming in from students,
parents, teachers and
staff,” he said. “The veterans were overwhelmed.”
Sampson said Shank
told him Harbor Homes
would be the Honor Society’s recipient of its fall
fundraiser.
Sampson plans to
bring more items to Harbor Homes in the spring.
When he was asked
what Harbor Homes
Trent Smith, a member of the Board of Directors of Harbor Homes, second from
left in front row, receives a $2,000 donation from LHS National Honor Society
member Hannah Brownstein, as Peter Kelleher, president and chief executive officer of Harbor Homes, LHS staffer Roger Sampson, National Honor Society members Tianna Federico and Marissa Russell, teacher Kelly Giguere and National
Honor Society advisor and teacher Mary Shank look on. Courtesy photo
might do in return, he
said, “Would it be possible to honor four of our
fallen soldiers who graduated from Londonderry
High School with Bricks of
Honor?” Without hesitation, Kelleher assured
them the four veterans
would be so honored.
Donna Collins of Harbor Homes said the four
soldiers would be honored with bricks engraved
with their names and
placed in a Wall of Honor
at Dalianis House. The
four are: Lance Cpl. Peter
Sora, Class of 2002, who
died during a training
accident; PFC Eric Currier,
Class of 2006, who was
killed in Afghanistan in
2010; Air Force Lt. Peter
Sohm, Class of 2006, who
died in a plane crash near
Goodfellow Air Base in
Texas in 2011; and U.S.
Army Cpl. Tyler Pimpis,
Class of 2009, who was
killed in a motorcycle
crash in Killeen, Texas,
last August.
“The outpouring of
compassion and the desire to help from students
and staff was incredible.
This is really a special
school with special people in it,” Sampson said.

A Sign of Change?
Deliberative Attendance:
Sandown Town
116 voters out of 3,643 registered.
Sandown at Timberlane School
278 out of 3,643.
Hampstead School
70 voters out of 6,033.
Hampstead Town
Derry School
Londonderry Town
71 out of 15,944.
Londonderry School
90 out of 15,944.
Look at the Timberlane numbers for
Sandown. Not great by a long shot, but
so much better than in the past and in
comparison to nearby communities.
Derry gave it a decent shot too. Start of
a trend?
When residents speak out and don’t
take no for an answer, when they write
letters to newspapers and air their
views publicly, they attract attention.
That’s what happened among Sandown
residents upset with school taxes, and
what seems to be developing – just
barely - in Derry.
That still leaves the other towns in
the dust. Hampstead – whose voters
face an ever-increasing $7-plus million
school bond for construction – could
muster only 70 voters at School Deliberative and just 44 at the Town Deliberative. Not much interest there.
Londonderry, which has a $4 million bond on the school warrant, saw
just 71 voters at its School Deliberative,
and 90 at the Town session. Lots of contented taxpayers in town?
But the Timberlane Deliberative
Session brought out the crowds. And
while an attempt to significantly lower
the ever-increasing school budget
failed, it resulted in public debate and
questioning and discussion – and people concerned with how much they
spend on their schools on both sides of
the issue came out to rally for their
viewpoint. Individual citizens dug for
facts and sent them out and kept asking
questions – and asking is the only way
to get the answers needed to make
informed decisions.
Does that mean everyone who
stayed away is delighted with the
money articles on their warrants? Hardly. But people with reasons too numerous to list for not attending, ranging
from “I forgot” to a conflict with a
favorite program on TV, are leaving
what should be citizen decisions
securely in the hands of public officials.
At Deliberatives, residents can voice
their opinions, and have the opportunity, granted under the SB2 form of government - that was after all adopted by
the town’s voters - to alter the financial
aspect of a warrant article. It’s a shame
when the no-shows are in control.
That leaves the Deliberative a
mockery. Lots of people just don’t get
the idea of the personal responsibility
called for by participatory democracy.
And lots of people will be suffering the
consequences come tax time.

Melcher for
Town Council
To the editor:
As a resident for just
under 30 years, I am in
every sense of the word a
product of the Town of
Londonderry. I spent 12
years in our school system, graduating prepared
for further education and
the workforce. I was
involved in the community through Scouting with
local Troop 426. I received
my Eagle after constructing the handicapped
ramp attached to the
Town Common.
My father was known
as “Dan The Milkman” to
many of the residents
while employed with HP
Hood, and now works for
the post office. My mother, Patti, just retired from
the Police Department
after 35 years. My commitment to my community is primarily a product
of these two individuals.
Three years ago, I
decided to get involved in
local elective politics by
running for a seat on the
budget committee. This
past year I was privileged
to serve as the Chair.
I decided to seek a
seat on the Council for
several reasons. I want to
ensure that public safety
is first on the agenda. We
must ensure that there
are 10 fire personnel
staffed on each shift. We
need to monitor staffing
levels at both the fire and
police departments. We
need to ensure our development agreement with
Woodmont is strictly enforced, should we need to
increase staff after construction.
I count roads in the
public safety category as
well. They need to be
reconstructed as appropriate, but moreover
maintained as we go
along to avoid the inflated
cost of reconstruction.
For years, a $1 million
bond was passed by voters each March. This year,
the roadway fund will
receive just $275,000. The
next council needs to
come together and figure
out a realistic plan to
maintain this part of our
infrastructure.
Additionally, we need
to figure out how to retain
our residents. People are
moving out of our town
and state at increasing
rates. Our new graduates
are leaving for college,
and not looking back.
The only way to keep
our residents here is to
ensure there are local
jobs and an affordable living cost. We require an
appropriate mix of housing.
Finally, we have several large developments
coming. We continue to
have discussions on
bringing large businesses
to the airport and Pettengill Road area. And we
have the new Woodmont
development knocking on
the door. There are major
decisions coming in
regards to all of these
areas.
I credit Town Manager
Kevin Smith with focusing
so much of his time on
supporting current businesses and seeking new
businesses to come to
town. We must continue
to increase the tax base
so that residential taxes
can be level-funded or
even decreased.
A ballot in my favor is
a vote for public safety,
open local government,
and an eye towards economic development. I was
humbled by how many
people encouraged me to
run. I would be honored if
you would join them in
voting for me on March
11th.

Melcher for Town Council” on Facebook. You can

Robinson for
Town Council
To the editor:
Dear Voters of Londonderry,
On Friday, Feb. 7, at
our School Deliberative
Session and on Saturday,
Feb. 8, at our Town Deliberative Session, both the
Town and School District
presented fiscally responsible budgets including
cost cutting measures.
Credit should be given to
the Town Council and
School Board for their
fine work.
As Londonderry taxpayers we bear the full
tax burden of funding
both the school and Town
budgets. There are two
budgets but the money
comes out of the same
pocket. Might there be
more cost savings when a
Town Councilor has a
working knowledge of the
school budget?
On March 11, we have
an opportunity to elect
John Robinson as a Town
Councilor who will have
just completed a second
term on the School Board.
I think there is value in
having a Town Councilor
who understands the
details of the school
budget and may be able
to find more ways in
which the Town and
School can share costs.
We are one great Town
and it makes sense to
keep the big picture in
mind.
As a former state representative, John Robinson also understands how
state government works.
That’s useful. Let’s put
the needs of the whole
Town of Londonderry
first and see how much

Planning Continues for Proposed West Road Dog Park
JAY HOBSON
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
own Manager Kevin
Smith said he sees
no issues with siting
a dog park off West Road.
“The Council asked me
to look into any maintenance that needs to be
done to the land prior to
the park being constructed and I checked in with
our Department of Public
Works,” he told the Coun-
T
cil last week. “(Director)
Janusz Czyzowski said he
doesn’t see any issues
with that land being used,
other than obviously
some trees would have to
come down when they
decide to move forward
with the construction of
the park.
“The area that they’re
looking to design the park
in does not encroach on
the conservation ease-
ment,” he added. “So they
would not have any
issues from the Conservation Commission there.”
Smith said the town is
looking into any possible
liability issues.
He said Primex, the
town’s insurer, has been
contacted about the proposed dog park. “I’m
going to be working with
some members of the dog
park committee so that
we can get clarification on
some of the liability
issues, but so far things
appear to be moving in
the right direction for
them to be able to start
moving forward in collecting donations,” Smith
said.
The committee was to
meet Tuesday, Feb. 11,
after the Londonderry
Times went to press, to discuss the proposal further.
In other business at
the Monday, Feb. 3 meeting, Smith presented Geoff
Hewes and Dan Leonard
of the 603 Brewery, 12 Liberty Drive, Unit 7, as part
of his effort to highlight
local businesses.
Hewes and Leonard
said they started the
brewery about two years
in Campton.
“Moving down to Londonderry was a big deci-
sion, we had a lot going
on all at once, and we
were a little nervous on
how we would be received, but I gotta tell you
it’s been nothing but a
good reception,” Hewes
said.
Smith gave the pair an
acrylic pyramid with the
Town Seal inside, and a
pin of an apple, representing the town’s apple
orchard heritage.

Second Arrest in Derry Family On Credit Card Fraud Charges
JAY HOBSON
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
elsey Lee Donahue,
20, of Wright Road
in Derry was arrested Thursday, Feb. 6, on
one count of Receiving
Stolen Property and three
counts of Fraudulent Use
of a Credit Card. Her sister Samantha Donahue,
K

month for participating in
the same incident.
According to Detective
Chris Olson of the Londonderry Police Department, Kelsey Donahue
used a stolen debit/ATM
card at multiple places in
Londonderry.
“The Receiving Stolen

Property charge comes
from her having the
stolen debit/ATM card in
her hand and the Fraudulent Use charges all come
from the times she used
the card before the card
was finally canceled,”
Olson said.
Olson said Donahue
used the stolen card to
rent a hotel room at Sleep
Inn, made a couple of
cash withdrawals, and
bought merchandise at
Tedeschi’s and RMZ
Truck Stop (the Sunoco
gas station across from
Poor Boys). Olson said it

both women.
“We used footage from
Tedeschi’s, from RMZ and
from the Sleep In,” he
said. “The victim is a guy
and he didn’t know if he
had left his ATM card
somewhere or if it was
stolen. That was never
actually determined. Once
we found out where the
card had been used, we
went and grabbed all the
surveillance videos and
saw her and her sister
with the card in her hand
making the transactions
the whole time. Sometimes it was her sister
Samantha on the video.

These
charges
because we saw Kelsey on
the video with the card.”
Olson said the male victim had been helping out
Donahue and her sister.
“According to his
statement, the victim didn’t know Donahue well
but he was helping her
out as far as a ride goes,”
Olson said. “He was going
to drop them off at the
Sleep Inn, where they
actually used his card
several times.”
Bail was set at $5,000
personal recognizance
with a court date of Feb.

this year was ‘Celebrating

Keller noted that Mack’s

“There were about 100

Cote and Keller, the display focused on the three
components of the expo.
For agriculture, it featured pictures of apples
and Mack’s Moose Hill
Orchards; for Education,
it focused on the education that kids who work at
the farm stand get by
learning about farming;
and for Forestry, it presented how Mack’s maintains its land for crosscountry skiing and walking trails.
The booth included a
hand-lettered board with
photos of the orchards,
and two tables holding
baskets of apples that
were given away, along
with apple recipes.
The Expo sponsors are
the University of New

Deliberative
Breslin brought up the
project of redoing the
Moose Hill school roof,
which is 12 years old, and
asked why a new roof
would be put on if the
building would eventually
have a second story.
Curro said there are
no plans in the near
future to add floors to
Moose Hill or to use it as a
second middle school.
Article 2 was moved to
the ballot.
Superintendent Nathan Greenberg said the
proposed 66,240,583 general fund operating budget, Article 3 on the warrant, represents a $179,916
or 0.27 percent increase
over the FY 14 budget.
“The (proposed) budget
would result in an estimated flat tax rate increase of $12.66,” Greenberg said. The default
budget is $66,545,528.
Greenberg said a budget is a financial picture of
priorities, programs and
services that a district is
looking to implement or
work on.
Baldasaro asked if
Common Core funding
was in the budget and
Greenberg said there was
no additional spending
for Common Core. “The
money that we’re spending is what we normally
spend for curriculum revisions, staff development
and assessment,” he said.
Baldasaro asked if the
tuitioned students who
come to Londonderry off-

Greenberg said they did.
Resident Tom Duxbury asked about the
impact the estimated 450plus students who could
come to Londonderry
schools from current
developments under construction in the north end
of town might have, and
Greenberg said this year’s
enrollment is 4,553, with a
projected enrollment next
year of 4,398.
“The issue for us is if
those 450 students come
in the three- to five-year
period, based on the facility studies that we did
earlier this year, we could
probably accommodate
those kids if they came in
at the right places,”
Greenberg said.

said if there were an influx
of growth at the north end
of town, redistricting may
be necessary.
Duxbury also asked
about year-to-date expenses versus the actual budget, and Curro said they
were expecting to come in
$850,000 under the approved budget. Greenberg
said that money goes back
to the taxpayer in the form
of a reduced tax rate next
year.
With no further discussion, Article 3 was
moved unchanged to the
ballot.
No discussion took
place on Article 4, a collective bargaining agreement with custodians,
and resident Maria Newman said the 2.5 percent
increase included in Article 5, the support staff
contract, was justified.
The increase comes in the
second and third years of
the contract and represents a $0.25 per hour or
$0.75 per day increase.
Baldasaro asked why
budget committee members voted against the
contract, and Budget
Committee member Dan
Lekas said he considered
the 2.5 percent too high.
Budget Committee member Mark Aronson said he
thinks the custodians
were a professional group
and could stay within the
rate of inflation, while the
support staff was more of
a volunteer group and
“really make a big difference and deserved a little
bit more. Even though the
contract was the same, I
feel the circumstances are
different.”

said.
The article was moved
to the ballot.
Article 7, which allows
the district to accept federal grants and other
money for its School
Lunch Program and Federal Fund Projects, and is
listed as having no tax
impact, resulted in a comment from Baldasaro that
there was a cost to the
taxpayer, as it was taxpayer dollars paid to the federal government that
were being returned
through grants and subsidies. “This is a no-brainer
to approve the article
because it is our money
coming back to us,” he
said.

Baldasaro Decides Against U.S. Senate Run vs. Shaheen
JAY HOBSON
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
tate Representative
Al Baldasaro, R-Londonderry has confirmed that he will not
make a bid for Democratic U.S. Senator Jeanne
Shaheen’s seat. Last year,
he had announced that he
was considering such a
race.
“I took a look into the
fundraising and all that,
and from January up
until the primary there’s
no way with such short
S
notice that I can raise the
$3 million to $4 million
that would be needed to
compete,” he said last
week. “As far as I’m concerned, there are three
candidates that have
been in there since last
year raising money, and
they’re already ahead of
the game, three Republicans - Bob Smith, a former U.S. Senator; Karen
Testerman and former
State
Senator
Jim
Rubens.”
Baldasaro said, “the
bottom line is that Shaheen is no good for the
State of New Hampshire.
“With what she’s done
with disabled veterans by
voting to cut COLA (Costof-Living Allowance) on
retired disabled veterans
instead of cutting her own
pay, what she’s done with
Obamacare and how she
lied about it just like
Obama by saying people
could keep their doctors,
New Hampshire’s being
destroyed,” he claimed.
“We’ve got over 22,000
people who’ve lost their
insurance, more and more
companies are taking fulltime employees and making them part time to
avoid the health insurance law, and we’re going
to have more and more
companies doing that.”
Baldasaro said that he
would not rule out running for higher office, but
emphasized the timing for
fundraising is what’s
keeping him out now.
Regarding a possible
run against Shaheen by
former U.S. Senator Scott
Brown, R-Mass., Baldasaro said he thinks
Brown moved to New
Hampshire because his
mother, who lives in Rye,
is ill.
“He’s bringing in money
to the Republican Party,”
Baldasaro said. “He’s a
good guy but politically I
couldn’t support him.”
Baldasaro said New
Hampshire “needs somebody that will look them
in the eye and tell it like it
is and tell them the truth
and not give BS and step
on our Constitutional
rights.”
He said he favors
smaller government.
“I want government
out of my house, out of
my pockets,” he said.
“They need to stop taxing
the people here in New
Hampshire with all these
taxes that go along with
Obamacare. I am a freedom guy, one who stands
up for liberty and believes
in the constitution.”
The next Londonderry
school board meeting is
set for Tuesday, Feb. 18,
and the petition may be
placed in the hands of the
school board and Greenberg that night.
The LHS football job
has been posted and the
application process has
begun, with Rich reapplying for the job he held for
six years.
At the center of the
upset generated by the
Rich non-renewal as the
Londonderry varsity grid
coach is the belief within
the group that supports
him that his removal was
generated by the behindthe-scenes actions of at
least one school board
member, and had everything to do with the Richled LHS grid teams not
winning enough games.
In the wake of finding
out about his non-renewal, Rich stated to the Londonderry Times and at
least one other newspaper that he thought his
removal from the job was
generated by actions of
the school board. But
mere hours before the
Londonderry Times went
to press with that initial
story, Rich sought out
this reporter and said he
had subsequently met
with Greenberg, who was
taking “full responsibility”
for Rich’s removal.
Rich and his wife are
both employed as teachers at LHS, and the superintendent has said in public that Jon Rich remains a
physical education teacher in the highest possible standing at Londonderry High. But then
come the questions about
why Rich was removed
from his coaching position, which Greenberg
states he simply cannot
answer because they are
a personnel issue.
Contacted about her
group’s petition, Tianna
Federico stated, “As the
Athletic Leadership Council, our job is to help athletes at the high school
have their own voice.
When everything came
out about Mr. Rich not
being hired back, we
quickly learned the reality
of the situation. We saw
the frustration of the football players and knew
that it was our job to help
them. We began talking to
a lot of them and told
them we would help them
in any way they needed.”
When the idea of a
petition came up, Federico took it upon herself to
write it.
“We had no idea that
the petition would be-
come so large,” she said.
“We truly just intended to
get students to sign it.
Although Mr. Greenberg
and the school board
have expressed that Mr.
Rich will not get his job
back and the decision is
final, a lot of people are
frustrated. The petition is
not to target anyone. It is
to express the loving sup-
port that Mr. Rich has.
People, especially students, desperately want
to be heard, and we felt
that a petition was the
best way to get their voices across.”
Jon Rich’s wife, Crystal, is an English teacher
at LHS, and Federico
wanted it understood that
Mrs. Rich - who serves as
the staff advisor to the
Student Leadership Council - had no prior knowledge of the existence of
the petition in support of
her husband.
“We did this without
the advisory of Crystal
Rich. We purposely did not
involve her in case of controversy,” said Federico.

Penned by senior
council member and LHS
all-state field hockey

- the document states
that Rich “should not be
fired as the head varsity

fact that he is supportive
and puts his players

well-being of the students
at LHS should always be a
top priority, and by firing

volunteers under the
Town Manager’s purview.
Resident Chris Paul,
Londonderry Times photographer, asked for clarification. “Either way, they
are not going to allow volunteers in the town forest, right, because of the
legal aspects of it?” he
said.
Smith said that if the
approval of the Town
Manager were requested,
then the advice of counsel
was that there was added
liability.
Ramsdell reiterated
that not only he but the
town’s insurance carrier
said that once the town
manager is put in charge
under the town’s imprimatur, the likelihood of
lawsuits increases.
Another citizen’s petition, Article 13, which
seeks to amend the U.S.
Constitution to say that
only humans, not corporations, have constitutional rights, and money
is not speech, led Baldasaro to say, “This is a
push in order to get taxpayer money to fund elections.”

mann said the article was
driven by “the flood of
money into the election
process by public interest
groups, wealthy individuals and unions.”
As the session drew to
a close with Article 15,
transacting any business
that may legally come
before the meeting, LeBreux requested emphatically that the Town
Report be made available
no less than two weeks
before the deliberative
session. Smith agreed to
that arrangement.
All other articles elicited little or no discussion.

CHEST PAIN
Chest pain can come on suddenly at any
time. You try to ignore it at first, but your
chest pain has you scared and worried.
Could you be having a heart attack? Should
you go to the emergency room (ER)? Chest
pain is one of the most common reasons people call for emergency medical help. Every
year emergency room doctors evaluate and
treat millions of people for chest pain. Fortunately, chest pain doesn't always signal a
heart attack. Often chest pain is unrelated to
any heart problem. But even if the chest pain
you experience has nothing to do with your
cardiovascular system, the problem may still
be important and worth the time spent in an
emergency room for evaluation.
A wide range of health problems can cause
chest pain. In many cases, the underlying
cause has nothing to do with your heart
though there's no easy way to tell without
seeing a doctor.

Pauline Caron, Bob Rimol Honored as Volunteer, Citizen of Year
JAY HOBSON
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
granite award in the
shape of the State
of New Hampshire
was presented to newly
named Volunteer of the
Year Pauline Caron and
Citizen of the Year Bob
Rimol on Saturday.
The awards were presented by Town Council
Chairman John Farrell
and Vice Chairman Tom
Dolan at the start of the
Town Deliberative Session.
In making the presentation to Caron, Dolan
said she had been a Leach
Library trustee since 2004
and volunteered at the
library bookstore.
“During her tenure as
a trustee, she assumed
the treasurer’s position
and she has been treasurer every year except for
2012, when she was chairperson,” Dolan said. “She
is an active member of
the Friends of the Leach
Library, where they raise
funds to help support various library activities, initially to put the library
addition that we all enjoy.
She has also been a member of the Londonderry
Historical Society and the
Heritage Commission and
is an active member of
the Senior Center.”

“I was really surprised
to receive the award,”
Caron said. “I had no idea
that I was going to receive
it.”
Presenting the Citizen
of the Year award to Rimol,
Farrell said, “This person I
met about 13 or 14 years
ago when coaching in
LAFA (Londonderry Athletic Fields Association).
Over the years you observe from afar the dedication to the town, taking
care of everything from
behind the scenes, from
making sure the grass
grows on the fields to making sure the fields are
ready for tournaments and
that all the coaches have
everything they need.”
He added that Rimol
recently became involved
with Londonderry Trailways and played a significant role in getting funding for paving a portion of
the trail.
Rimol said he was a little surprised at receiving
the ward.
“The two main things
that I’ve done over the
years for Londonderry is
that I’ve been the facilities manager for the LAFA
fields and I have put in
hundreds and hundreds
of volunteer hours trying
to improve and manage
the facilities, and the
other is I’ve put in hundreds of hours to develop

award,” Rimol said.
The council also used
the occasion to recognize

left or are not seeking
reelection, and town staff
who are retiring.
The following retired
committee members each
received an acrylic clock:
Jay Hooley, Zoning Board

‘Lancer Custom Woodworking’ Begins at Londonderry High
JAY HOBSON
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
ondonderr y High
School woodworking
teacher Tom Ciccarello has started an
independent study that
teaches some of his
advanced woodworking
students not only how to
create with wood, but
how to handle the practical side of being in the
woodworking business.
“A lot of the students
who take the woodworking
classes are talented and
good with their hands,”
Ciccarello said. “Some of
them end up with their
own business or do work
on the side as they get
older, and I do that in the
summer months. I have
my own business, so I figured I’d take some of the
things that I learned from
my business and try to
teach it to them so they
don’t have to learn it the
way I did, by the trial and
error method.”
L
Ciccarello said the
program lasts only one
semester and the students
all had to have the same
schedule to be able to take
the independent study, so
they wouldn’t miss any
scheduled classes. Ciccarello also had to meet
with Principal Jason Parent and Guidance Director
Mike Dolphin, who rearranged Ciccarello’s duty
schedule to allow him to
hold the class.
“As shop teacher, I
often get requests to
make things for the
school as things get broken, so instead of me
doing these things in
between stuff, now we
have a means to do this,
and these students are
taking these projects on
as if we have a business
and those are our customers,” he said. “They
will get the information
from the ‘customer’ as to
what they want, and come
up with any necessary
sketches, figure out a bill
of material, and work up
an actual estimate. We’re
going to treat it like a
business and come up
with some typical overhead expenses that a
business would have.”
Ciccarello said that
“Lancer Custom Woodworking” is in its second
week of the new semester
and has six projects that
have been accepted.
“We put out an e-mail
explaining what we were
doing and we got a lot of
responses,” he said.
“Some we couldn’t take
because we have only the
semester to complete the
projects, but what we
were able to accept was a
bookstand for the school
psychologist, a podium
for an English teacher, a
shelf to hold a collection
for another teacher, a
coat rack with a shelf for a
classroom, some cabinet
doors, and the biggest
project - a duck house to
LHS woodworking teacher Tom Ciccarello and students Sean Montibello, 17,
Mike Griffith, 17, and Jon Deschamps, 17, all seniors, are beginning Lancer
Custom Woodworking, which will teach not only woodworking but the woodworking business. Photo by Jay Hobson
protect the ducks that are
hatched in the courtyard
from the hawks that prey
on the hatchlings.”
Ciccarello said some
of the projects that
weren’t chosen due to
time constraints were a
corner TV cabinet, a sign
for the fire department,
and a glass topped table.
“I’d like this to be
ongoing but we’ll see what
happens,” he said. “The
projects will be worked
just like a business, and
after the drawings and
parts lists are estimated,
we’ll go to the customer
and let them know what
the cost will be. We’ll
charge just a little bit over
cost, and the customer
may say, ‘no, that’s too
expensive,’ or that they
know someone else who
could do it cheaper, but
that’s OK because that’s
part of business, and the
students need to learn
that aspect of being in
business too. When that
happens, we’ll go down
the list and tell people
that we had to turn down
that some time has
opened up and are they
still interested.”
The three students
currently in the class, Jon
Deschamps, Mike Griffith,
and Sean Montibello, all
17, each say they look forward to the experience.
“I like the business
part of the class,” Deschamps said.
“I like that part but I
also like the real world
aspect of it, learning every
part, including working
with customers, estimating and getting to a final
product like the real
world application,” Griffith said.
Montibello agreed and
noted that getting the
experience to take to the
real world will be a great
help for any business.
“All of these guys have
made things before, they
know the tools and the
process, so we can concentrate on the real world
lessons that need to be
taught,” Ciccarello said.
“We’ll run into problems
to be sure, there’s always
problems, but solving
them and giving the customer what they want in
spite of it is part of real
world business.”

Lancer Icemen Best Astros, Keep the Victories Rolling In
CHRIS PANTAZIS
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
he local adage that
you simply throw
records out the window when rival teams
from Londonderry High
and Pinkerton Academy
face off was proven once
again last Saturday, Feb. 8,
when the Lancer and
Astro hockey teams met
on Pinkerton’s home ice at
The Ice Den in Hooksett.
The streaking Lancers
and the struggling Astros
rolled into the game
seemingly headed in different directions, with the
LHS side having won eight
consecutive games and
Pinkerton having dropped three of its previous
four contests and grasping a record that was well
below the .500 mark.
But records be damned, the LHS contingent
bounded out to a 3-0 lead,
T

Pinkerton last week. Photo by Chris Pantazis
only to see 3-7-1 Pinkerton fight its way back in
with two goals during the
final eight minutes of the
second period.
Londonderry wound
up claiming a 4-3 victory
in the contest, but the 102 Lancers definitely knew
they’d been in a battle
and that a rematch
between the two squads
could be every bit as riveting.
“There’s not a whole
lot of difference between
the first and 10th place
teams this year, and I
don’t think there’s a
whole lot of difference
between us and Pinkerton, other than the fact
that we’ve been more
consistent,” said LHS
coach Peter Bedford.
LHS senior forward
Curtis Harper scored
three goals and assisted
on one, his fellow senior
forward Eric Coburn
scored once and assisted
on all three of Harper’s
tallies, and their junior
line-mate Cooper Roy was
good for two assists as
the top Londonderry
offensive line notched a
combined 10 points in
pushing its side to its
ninth consecutive victory.
Harper potted each of
the Lancers’ first three
goals - the first on a
power-play with 3:05 left
in the first period and the
second two in the first six
minutes of the second
period - as Londonderry
drove out to a seeminglycommanding 3-0 lead.
But Pinkerton sliced
its deficit back to 3-2 with
tallies with 7:15 and 1:54
left in the middle stanza.
Coburn made it a 4-2
game on Coburn’s goal a
little less than five minutes into the third stanza,
but the Astros got back to
within a marker with just
1:32 left in regulation
time. But 4-3 was where
the final score ended up.
Londonderry finished
the game with a 35-30
advantage in shots on net,
with Lancers’ keeper Joe
McGrath ending up with
27 saves.
And the LHS icemen
bounced their winning
streak up to 10 consecutive games this past Monday night, Feb. 10, with a
7-2 walloping of the Nashua South Purple Panthers
at the Conway Arena in
the Gate City.
Londonderry dominated play throughout most
of the game - finishing
with a whopping 50-17
advantage in shots on net
- but it was still technically a game after two periods had been completed.

bounced its winning
streak up to four games
and its divisional record
to a stellar 9-2 by manhandling the host North
Titans by a 71-45 tally in
the Gate City on Tuesday,
Feb. 4.
Londonderry sprinted
out to a 24-9 lead in the
first quarter, and by halftime the locals’ lead sat at
18 points at 43-25. And
Stanton’s squad buried
any comeback hopes the
Titans might have held by
outscoring the opponent
by a big, 21-7 tally in period number three.
Cody Ball led the LHS
attack by tossing in 17
points - including a trio of
three-point buckets - and
Max Coleman (11 points)
and Caleb Green (10) also
finished in double figures
in points. All in all, the
Lancers sank eight threes,
adding to Nashua North’s
considerable list of frustrations on this particular
evening.

evenings later expecting

intense quarters of basketball and a tight finish.
The hosts bagged a 6256 win in the end, but the
victory wasn’t in the
Lancer bag until the very
final seconds of play.
The Exeter bunch
exhibited plenty of mental
toughness, intensity, and
athleticism in forcing its
host right to the wall in
order to snag the slim victory.
“Exeter is a much better team than what their
record says, and they’re a
tough team that doesn’t
go away,” said Stanton.
“They have good shooters and they don’t quit,
and I’m proud of how my
guys fought through
adversity and learned
how to close out a tough
game.”
Stanton’s squad “won”
every quarter, statistically speaking, but only by
the slimmest of margins.
The hosts outscored their
guests by a margin of 1211 in the first period, and
by a tally of 20-19 in the
second to carry a 32-30
advantage to halftime.
The Lancers were,
once again, a single point
better than Exeter in the
third quarter (17-16), carrying a 49-46 lead into the
last eight minutes of regulation time.
The pesky Blue Hawks
collected a lead of 52-51
with 4:10 left to go, and
got their advantage up to
54-51 a moment later
before LHS junior standout Ball sank a big three-
point bucket to make it a
54-54 game with 2:55
showing on the game
clock.
Ball put his Lancers up
to stay with an authoritative drive to the basket
with 1:31 left, and the
hosts never lost the lead
again despite Exeter’s
best attempts to make the
remaining time plenty
uncomfortable for their
hosts.
“Defensive stops down
the stretch won us the
game and put us in position to capitalize at the
foul line,” said Stanton.
Ball led the victors
with 22 big points, Drew
Coveney collected 14, and
Jake Coleman was good
for nine.

LHS Girl Hoopsters Push to 11-1 With Two More Victories
CHRIS PANTAZIS
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
fter the frustration
and upset connected with the Londonderry High girls’ basketball squad’s loss to the
rival Pinkerton Academy
crew at LHS two Fridays
ago had ebbed away,
coach John Fagula’s Lady
Lancers got back down to
the business of winning.
With star senior guard
Aliza Simpson still out of
the LHS lineup with an injured right knee, the team
is putting loads of effort
into making itself go without its prime catalyst on
the court. And sometimes
the final products have
been impressive, while
others times, not so much.
Regardless of any artistic
merits or the lack thereof,
however, the Londonder-
A
ry crew ended last week
with a stellar 11-1 record.
There’s no rule written
that a victory has to be
aesthetically pleasing to
count, and the Lady Lancers benefitted from that
fact Tuesday night, Feb. 4,
at home against the
Nashua North Lady Titans.
Londonderry snared a
51-38 win over the North
crew, which began the
night with a strong 7-2
record. In the wake of
their daunting loss to
Pinkerton in Ball Family
Trophy play the previous
Friday night, the fact that
the Lady Lancers claimed
a win over North was significant. But the host
team’s performance was a
bit ugly, particularly during the sloppy first half.
Fagula’s force netted
14 of the first 16 points,
and it looked as though a
blowout was in the offing.
But some incredibly sloppy passing, weak rebounding, and a lack of
focus the rest of the way
helped North score six of
the last eight points of the
period to leave LHS with a
16-8 lead going into period two.
The second quarter
was back and forth all the
way, with the Lady Titans
outscoring their hosts by
a 14-9 margin to go to halftime with the Lady Lancers grasping a slim, 25-22
advantage.
But the Londonderry
crew left Fagula with
some positives - despite a
total of 26 turnovers on
the night - by winning the
third and fourth quarters
to snag the victory.
The Lady Lancers led
just 1:40 after the opening
faceoff, and Jason Parker
had the lone assist.
The LHS lead grew to
3-0 during the first six
minutes of period two,
thanks to markers from
Donnelly (assist to Alex
LaPlante) and Lucas
Poulin (from Curtis Harper), but Nashua got on the
board and gained some
momentum with a goal of
its own with 3:07 left in
the stanza.
But Harper grabbed
the momentum back for
his side on a power-play
goal with less than a second left in the period, and
he scored two more times
in the third period to bag
the hat-trick. After a third
LHS goal in the stanza,
Nashua tallied once more.
The Lancers skated away
with another lopsided victory to their credit.

a 13-7 tally as they put the
win to bed.
Junior forward Casey
Evans paced the LHS
charge with 17 points and
seven rebounds, and
freshman guard Kelsey
Coffey was good for 11
points. The talented ninth
grader sank a couple of
huge three-point shots the last bucket of the
third quarter and the first
of the fourth - to give Londonderry the massive
boost it needed.
“There’s no question
that we needed this win
tonight. We needed a positive after the loss the
other night,” said Fagula.
“To lose two in a row
would have put some
questions in some people’s minds.”
And the Lancer girls
built upon that victory
beautifully, traveling to
the seacoast Thursday,
Feb. 6, and collecting a 6639 walloping of the host
Exeter High Lady Blue
Hawks.

The locals then outscored their hosts by a

A total of 10 players

Britting Helps LHS Gymnasts to Best Score of the Season
CHRIS PANTAZIS
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
tandout Maddie Britting helped her Londonderry High gymnastics squad close out its
regular season in noteworthy style at Pinkerton
Academy this past Monday night, Feb. 10.
The Lady Lancers’
stalwart took first place
on vault with a score of
S
9.2 and the top spot in the
floor exercise as well with
an 8.5 - with a strong third
place finish in the allaround to boot - as she
helped her contingent to
its best overall team
score (126.8) in the last
regular season match of
the 2013-14 campaign.

stellar team score of 137.8
at the eight-team event,
but the Lady Lancers
have every reason to feel
good about what they’ve
achieved as they roll into
the state title meet at
Salem High this coming
Saturday, Feb. 15.
“This was our highest
team total this year, and
we are very happy with
how the girls did tonight,”
said LHS co-coach Emily
Panacopoulos. “The floor
was tough and we had
some falls, but we will
work hard this week to
make improvements and
hopefully do our best at
states this weekend.”
Along with Britting’s
first place magic on vault,
the Lady Lancers received strong work from
Jill McIntire, Molly Koon,
and Emily Raymond in
that event.
Britting, McIntire, and
Jordan Dufresne were
stalwarts on the bars,
Maddie Baumann had an
excellent beam routine,
Steph Pestka, Koon, and
Taylor MacKenzie all
joined Britting in doing
well in the floor exercise,
and the locals also got
fine competitive efforts
from Michaela Giandello,
Isabella Hernandez, Rachael Grady, Skylar Roy,

The LHS crew then

The team was schedlued to meet rival Pinkerton Academy last week,
but that meet was resceduled for Friday, Feb. 14, at

Pinkerton Academy Will
Keep the Ball Family Trophy
CHRIS PANTAZIS
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
o matter what happens in the forthcoming wrestling
and spirit competitions
involving the Pinkerton
Academy and Londonderry High teams, the Derry
school will maintain possession of the Ball Family
Trophy for a third consecutive year.
Headed into this Friday’s (Feb. 14) wrestling
match between the teams
from LHS and Pinkerton which had to be postponed for a week due to
N
widespread illness on the
academy team - the
Astros grasped a 6-4 lead
over their Lancer rivals in
the annual Ball Family
games, which pit the
academy’s winter varsity
teams against the varsity
squads from LHS.
Rolling
into
the
wrestling event, Pinkerton had collected wins in
boys’ and girls’ skiing,
girls’ basketball, girls’
gymnastics (this past
Monday night), boys’
track, and boys’ swimming. Londonderry had
claimed wins in boys’
◆
hoop, ice hockey, girls’
track, and boys’ swimming.
It’s predicted that Londonderry will win Friday’s
wrestling match rather
handily, which would
make the Ball Trophy
count 6-5 in Pinkerton’s
favor. And even if the Londonderry spirit squad is
somehow able to defeat
the Pinkerton spirit juggernaut at the spirit championships on March 16,
the best the Lancers could
do would be a 6-6 tie,
which would keep the trophy in Pinkerton’s hands.

Local Students Focus on Jazz at All-State Festival
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
aniel Reynolds, a
senior at Timberlane Regional High
School in Plaistow, had no
trouble reeling off the jazz
music artists that inspire
him. “For the vibes, it’s
Milt Jackson and Gary
Burton. For the trumpet,
Dizzy Gillespie and Miles
Davis. For the sax, John
Coltrane,” he said.
Not exactly household
names, at least not in
households with teenagers. But the 109 high
school students from across the state who
descended on Pinkerton
Academy last week aren’t
your average teens. These
students, the cream of
high school musicians,
came to Derry to celebrate the first uniquely
American form of music
as Pinkerton hosted the
New Hampshire All-State
Jazz Festival for the fifth
year.
Londonderry students
qualifying for the jazz festival included: Erin Conti,
Madeleine Doris, Steph
Conti, Rachel Hanssen,
Daniel Cain, Marc Lussier,
D
Joseph Conti, Keith Perry
and Matthew Marzola.
On Friday the students
fanned out across the
Stockbridge Theatre for
rehearsals with one of
four groups: Jazz Choir,
Honors Jazz Choir, Jazz
Band or Honors Jazz
Band. On the main stage,
David Riviello conducted
the Honors Jazz Band in a
lively,
Cuban-flavored
number. Reynolds was on
the xylophone, tapping
his feet to the rhythm, as
other students played the
piano, bongo drums,
standing bass, trumpets,
trombones and clarinets.
Each section took its turn
for a solo, and then they
all came together for an
exuberant, triumphant
finale.
Riviello praised them
with a crisp nod, then it
was on to the next number. “All right - ‘My Foolish Heart,’” he called out.
The midcentury ballad
began with a plaintive
trombone line, reinforced
by a brace of golden trumpets, and then all the
instruments came together in a swelling of sound
for a song these children’s
grandparents might have
danced to. The students,
in their jeans and flannel
shirts, could have been
wearing tuxedoes, and
the dim Stockbridge Theatre could have had the
elegance of a nightclub in
the ‘40s or ‘50s.
Tom Quigley, head of
the Fine Arts program at
Pinkerton, said the school
has hosted All-State Jazz
for about five years.
Why do student musicians like jazz? “It challenges them,” Quigley
said. “It challenges them
harmonically, in the sense
of improvisation, they
have the opportunity to
create something on the
spot, and they have the
opportunity to play some
difficult music.”
Kenneth Clark of Timberlane chairs the AllState Jazz committee. He
said the music appeals to
teens because of its
“inherent dance rhythms,
swing, the Latin beat.” Students also love the ability
to improvise, Clark said.
They enjoy the AllState program, he said,
because they enjoy playing music with other stu-

dents who take it seriously. “They get to play with
the best in the state,” he
said. “By the time they get
here, they’re just pumped. They’re into it - I don’t
know how else to put it.”
Pinkerton band director Mike Adams is the
auditions chair for AllState Jazz. “The kids who
make it are the ones who
work the hardest,” he
said.
Clark added, “It’s also
the ones most interested
in music, who listen outside of class.”
In another part of the
building, teacher Joseph
Schaeffer demonstrated a
saxophone riff to the Jazz
Band, and a group of girls
clustered around a grand
piano and practiced
scales with Honors Jazz
Choir director Larry
Lapin. The songs on the
program bespoke a gentler era: “Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams,” “Be Careful, It’s My Heart,” “Long
Ago and Far Away.” Composers ranged from the
Gershwins and Oscar
Hammerstein to Dizzy
Gillespie to Irving Berlin.
Each student has to
undergo an audition in
October, Quigley said. It’s
a rigorous program that
ranks them and ranks
them again: there’s an
“honors” level at All-State
Jazz that is a cut above
being selected for the program.
Clark said the program
is in its 32nd year in New
Hampshire. In October
450 students tried out, to
try to win one of 100 or so
spots.
Mitchell Bull, a baritone sax player from Merrimack, said during a
break that he’s been playing music for 7 1/2 years.
He tried out for Jazz AllState because he’s interested in becoming a professional musician, “and I
need all the experience I
can get.” He chose this
particular All-State program because he doesn’t
get to play jazz that much,
he said, noting, “With the
band, it’s mostly classical.”
Bull likes jazz because
of its “inherent free-spiritedness. With classical
music, it’s ‘This is how it
Proudly serving
Derry since
1998
is.’ Jazz is a little more
‘twisted,’ a little more
fun.”
Reynolds said he started playing piano in third
grade. “I love jazz,” he
said, “because you can
express yourself and do
what you want to do. The
solo has to follow certain
chord changes - but after
that, it’s up to you.”
Quigley said the music
department is holding its
annual flea market this
Saturday in the Shepard
Auditorium. It’s a 20-year
tradition, he said, in
which students set up
their own tables and sell
their own “stuff.” Their
profits go to a cashier,
who deposits money in
their account for one of
two biannual trips. The
students go to either
Orlando or New York City
every two years, Quigley
said, and this year is their
turn in The Big Apple. The
sale is from 7 a.m. to 2
p.m.
In addition to Schaefer,
Rivello and Lapin, David
Piper was also a teacher
at the festival, conducting
the Jazz Choir.

Manchester Police Arrest
Londonderry Burglary Suspect
JAY HOBSON
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
ames Fowler, 31, of
Walnut Street in Manchester was arrested
by Manchester police on
a Londonderry warrant
alleging that he had broken into Wallboard Supply
Company on Old Mammoth Road in 2013.
The arrest was made
Tuesday, Feb. 4.
Londonderry Detec-
J
tive Chris Olson said
police asked Wallboard
officials if there had been
any recent terminations,
and found that Fowler
was a former employee
who had been terminated.
“He broke back in and
basically what he did was
he used a forklift to punch
a hole in the wall,” Olson
said. “He gained entry
into the building and
there was a room he was
trying to get into and
couldn’t get in, so he used
the forklift to push
through the wall. Some of
the Sheetrock residue was
on the floor. He also took
a fire extinguisher and
sprayed it all over the
scene to try and cover up
his tracks, but there was a
shoe impression in the
fire extinguisher dust.”
Cash bail was set at
$10,000.

address was north of the
police station and dispatch called Hudson for
assistance as well.
Detective Chris Olson
said Archambeault heard
something in the barn
upon his arrival and K9
Officer Perry responded
to the area where the subject was running into the
Sean Paul Koehler
woods.
According to Olson,
Lee noticed and advised
the other officers that
there were fresh footprints in the snow heading east toward Mammoth
Road.
“We had asked the
Hudson officers to set up
a perimeter with some of
our own officers. We had
called them because it
was so close to the Hudson line. We wanted the
perimeter set up so the
suspect couldn’t get too
far while we were waiting
for the K9 officer and
Mingo to arrive,” Olson
said.
Olson said a couple of
officers reported seeing
fresh footprints in the
snow and another officer
reported seeing fresh
tracks in a driveway on
Bockes Road. The tracks
led into a neighbor’s yard.
“K9 continued to track
the whole way and led
officers up the stairs to
the front door of the residence on Bockes Road,”
Olson said.
Olson said they were
familiar with the address,
as Koehler had been
arrested before on similar
charges.
“We spoke to a woman
at the address and we
spoke to Koehler and we
were able to determine
that Koehler was respon-
sible for the burglary and
on the attempt of the theft
of the motor vehicle,”
Olson said. “Koehler had
broken into the house and
found the women’s car
keys. He filled a pillowcase with bottles of alcohol and took her car keys
to the garage, where he
put the pillowcase and
bottles of alcohol and flat
screen TV he had taken
into the back of the SUV.
That’s where the attempted theft of a motor vehicle
charge comes from.”
Cash bail was set at
$10,000.

I-93 Crash Closes Portion of Highway During Storm
JAY HOBSON
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
ondonderry Fire Battalion Chief Jim
Roger said a portion
of Interstate 93 was closed briefly so ambulance
crews could reach a single vehicle accident in the
northbound lane south of
L
exit 5 on Wednesday, Feb.
5, at 12:30 p.m..
“We believe the accident was the result of a
medical problem,” Roger
said. “The state police were
on scene before us and the
accident completely blocked the highway because it
was in the northbound
passing lane south of exit 5.
The State Police made sure
the road was secured and
they brought us down the
wrong way down I-93. We
got onto I-93 northbound at
exit 5 and drove south in
the northbound lane,
which got us there faster in
a more direct end effective
manner.
“It was a case of good
interagency cooperation
and communication,” Roger
added.
Roger said a snowplow driver in a red pickup truck appeared to
have had a medical emergency that may have
caused the accident.
“When we got there,
he was blue and not
breathing,” Roger said.
“He had taken out some
guard rails on the passing
lane side of the highway,
and no other vehicles
were involved. He regained consciousness and
was alert on the way to
the hospital.”
Roger said it could
easily have been a multivehicle accident but they
were lucky in that traffic
was slow moving due to
the storm.
The road was reopened
by 1:30 p.m., Roger said.
