Auditorium Design Discussed
at Londonderry Planning Board

————––––––————–◆
uditorium Committee Chairman Tony
DeFrancesco told
the Planning Board last
week that the facility
would be more than a
school building - it was to
be a community building
as well.
The committee was
commissioned by the Londonderry School Board in
October 2013, he told the
board at its Wednesday,
June 11 meeting. “The
charge of the committee
was to investigate the
possibility of putting an
auditorium on the high
school campus,” he said.
“We were asked to identify if there is a need, where
would the building go,
what size would be appro-
A
priate and the elephant in
the room, how much
would it cost.”
DeFrancesco said the
committee’s plan is to
have a final report ready
for the school board at its
Aug. 26 meeting.
“Once the report is
presented, it’s important
to note that it’s the school
board that at that time
will make the decision to
move forward or not,” he
explained. “There is currently no building being
built.”
He noted that the committee is made up of town
employees, school employees, members of service clubs as well as
school staff.
“The committee so far
sees that there is a need,
but it needs to be a com-
munity auditorium, not
just a school auditorium,”
he said. “That is an important distinction to make
because there are a lot of
auditoriums on school
properties that are not
community auditoriums.
Our goal is to work towards a report that provides an auditorium that
is reasonably priced and
properly sized, that works
for the school, taxpayers
and the entire community
of Londonderry.”
DeFrancesco added
that an auditorium is
included in the Master
Plan and the Town Manager is “tasked with doing
something with it.” Town
Manager Kevin Smith is a
member of the auditorium committee.

t a public hearing at
Monday
night's
Town Council meeting, Attorney Patricia Panciocco requested and
received a 60-day extension for Edward Dudek's
Murray's Auto Recycling
junkyard license. The
junkyard is on Hall Road.
She said she understood that a court order
was involved, and said
there "were some new ideas floated by my client."
The Council instructed Panciocco that during
the extension, all of the
conditions of the license
would remain in effect,
not just the court order
A
requiring there be no
equipment outside the
fence, but also the hours
of operation of 8 a.m. to 5
p.m. and no late deliveries. In addition, all
crushed vehicles must be
stored lower than the
fence and therefore not
visible from the road.
The consensus of the
Council present - Tom
Freda, John Farrell and
Chairman Tom Dolan was in favor, with Joe
Green opposed.
Building Inspector
Richard Canuel said he
had investigated a number of complaints against
Murray's.
"It has come down to
three determining factors
regarding non-compliance
with conditions of the
license," Canuel said.
"One of them has to do
with stacking vehicles
above the fence, which
was a matter of contention during last year's
hearings as well. Another
is the hours of operation,
and the third is with the
parking of equipment in

Planning Board Gets Master Plan Committee Update
JAY HOBSON
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
lanning Board member Chris Davies,
who is also chairman of the Master Plan
Implementation Committee, reviewed discussions
of the Town Forest and
Town Common last week.
Davies told the board
at its Wednesday, June 11
meeting that in the committee’s most recent
meeting, there was a “fairly significant discussion”
about the Town Common
and Town Forest, as previously reported in the Londonderry Times. He said a
miscommunication led to
not televising the meeting.
Davies said the discus-
P
sion centered around
what to do with the Town
Forest. He said Town Manager Kevin Smith asked
the committee its recommendation, and member
Ann Chiampa suggested
making it more accessible
with a hiking path.
“It’s a resource that
should be accessible, and discussions are going on with
some of the other boards and
Trailways around what could
be done there to improve
that area,” Davies said.
Board member Maria
Newman said that one
thing a lot of people
would like to see would
be an ice skating rink that
would be visible from the
road. “It makes a lot of
sense, especially where
we live in New England,”
Newman said.
Davies said that idea
was discussed and noted
that several years ago, in
talks about what to do
with the Town Common, a
plan for a temporary skating rink in that area or
adjacent to it was suggested.
Board member Al
Sypek asked if there were
any solutions to the parking problem.
“No solutions, but
there was going to be a
need to have solutions,”
Davies said. “It’s pretty
pointless to have nice,
accessible improvements

“Old Home Day is a
prime example of traffic
congestion,” chairman
Art Rugg said.
Davies
said
they
weren’t going to be able to
solve the Old Home Day
parking issue, but acknowledged a need to
improve parking for normal daily use of the Town
Forest and Town Common.
“There was a plan for
an improved parking but
there was an issue with
line of sight,” Davies said.
Davies added that
Comprehensive Planner
John Vogl had put together a spreadsheet with a
list of recommendations
for the implementation
committee, with the committee looking at how to
measure the recommendations’ achievement.
“By far and away the
most significant recommendations are impacted
by what’s going to come
out of the zoning audit
and subsequently the
changes that might get
made when staff and the
consultants work on retooling the zoning regulations, “ he said. Davies
said that work would
have a “significant impact” on a lot of items in
the Master Plan to make
them achievable.
Davies added the committee is looking to the
Planning Board to enable
the Master Plan.

————––––––————–◆
ith the state primary election arriving Sept. 9, 10
Republican candidates
will be vying for the seven
state representative seats
for Londonderry. Seven
Democrats will be seeking
those seats as well, and
the top seven in each
party will face each other
in November.
The Republican candidates are: Al Baldasaro,
Deirdre Carson, Dana
Coons, Roger Fillio, Robert Introne, David Lund-
W
gren, Betsy McKinney,
Sherman Packard, Daniel
Tamburello and Doug
Thomas
The Democratic candidates are: Lisa Whittemore, Ted Combes, Denise
Grady, Gary Vermillion,
Paul Skudlarek, Robin
Skudlarek and Tammy
Siekmann. Grady had not
filed her paperwork by the
June 13 deadline but according to Londonderry
Democratic Chairman Tammy Siekmann, she had
three days to file with the
Secretary of State’s office.
The State Senate race
originally saw incumbent
Sharon Carson and Ted
Siska, both of Londonderry,
filing as Republicans. However, according to the Secretary of State’s Office web
site, the candidacy of Ted
Siska for State Senator was
withdrawn by the Secretary
of State’s office because
Siska was not a registered
Republican when he filed
his paperwork.

as a Democrat is Kate
Messner of Hudson. The
State Senate Seat for District 14 encompasses Londonderry and Hudson.

Wallace Farm Workforce Housing Gets Permits, Waiver
JAY HOBSON
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
he developer of Wallace Farm, a 240unit, partial workforce housing complex
planned for Perkins Road,
was unanimously granted
a waiver by the Planning
Board June 11 to allow
temporary cul-de-sacs during phases one and two of
construction. The private
road must then be extended to connect to Perkins
Road, with at least a
binder course of pavement and associated
drainage in place.
Wallace Farm will have
120 units as workforce
rental housing.
A Conditional Use Permit also was unanimously
granted to begin the project within the Conservation Overlay District
(COD) and encroach on
44,320 square feet of COD
buffer. A second Conditional Use Permit was
unanimously granted to
T
allow multifamily workforce housing.
Finally, the board unanimously conditionally
approved the site plan for
Wallace Farm.
Assistant Director of
Public Works John Trottier said the project requires the construction of
a booster pump station
associated with some of
the lots. He said the state
Department of Transportation was in agreement
with the plan for a traffic
island that would force
traffic to take a right-hand
turn onto Route 28.
Trottier said the island
and right-turn only would
be wide enough for any
tractor trailer leaving the
Sleep Inn on Perkins Road
to be able to make the
turn onto Route 28 and
access Interstate 93 at
Exit 5. He said staff approved of the design.
Trottier said staff recommended granting a
waiver allowing the cul-
de-sacs, as they would be
temporary.
Town Planner Cynthia
May said the Conditional
Use Plan for the buffer
encroachment to the Conservation Overlay District
was looked at by the Conservation Commission,
which recommended approval with conditions
that any mitigation be
performed with the state
Department of Environmental Services and that
signage pointing out the
COD be in sufficient numbers as to be visible from
any angle.
Board member Chris
Davies said some “folks”
had raised questions about the developer’s future
plans to build over age 55restricted housing on
adjacent property and
whether there would be
sufficient screening from
the road.
Attorney Thomas “Jay”
Leonard said they hadn’t
formulated any formal
plans for that development but it would be
screened from the road.
Board member Mary
Wing Soares said she was
happy the entrance to the
property was opposite
another road, not a private driveway.
Board member Lynn
Wiles said he wanted to
make sure there were regulations in place that
would ensure affordability. “Is there anything the
town has to do to get
ready for workforce housing?” Wiles asked.
Leonard said the requirements for workforce
housing would be registered with the state Registry of Deeds.
Board member Laura
El-Azem asked how applicants would be screened
regarding income. Leonard said that they use federal HUD (Housing and
Urban Development) criteria and tenancy is based
on tax returns.
“I guess there’s really
nothing you can do to
prevent abuses,” El-Azem
said.
Board member Maria
Newman asked if there
would be a waiting list
and Leonard said it would
be first come, first served.
Newman asked what
the maximum income
level was to qualify for
workforce housing and
Leonard said it varies.
“Rents can go up or
they can go down but it is
based on 60 percent of
the median income for
the region, and the target
is for a family of three,”
Leonard said.
May said there had
been a question raised at
the last meeting about a
bus stop shelter. She said
there wasn’t enough room
for a shelter and that kids
would be picked up as
others were on Perkins
Road, as buses don’t go
down cul-de-sacs or private roads. She said the
sidewalk would be wider
to accommodate the students and added that it
would be plowed.

Editorial
Choosing the Right Candidate
Sept. 9 is Primary Election Day in
New Hampshire this year, and in
addition to choosing the candidates
who face each other in November for
governor and U.S. senator and Congressional representative, we will be
narrowing the field for state representative and state senator.
Unfortunately, in some races this
year the collection of candidates
casting their hats in the ring is surprisingly small. In some cases, not
enough candidates have filed to fill
all the open seats. In other cases,
just enough have filed, which means
there is no choice for voters until the
November election pits Republicans
against Democrats.
To us it reads turning away from
a challenge. In a state that prides
itself on a citizen legislature and the
ability of each resident to have a say
in government, fewer and fewer are
bothering to seek office, even as
fewer and fewer of the rest of us
bother to cast ballots. It makes one
wonder whether democracy is going
the way of the dinosaur.
Now the question is: how to
decide who are the best candidates,
the ones deserving of your vote?
Disregarding those who vote for
people because they’re friends or
they’ve heard the name before - neither of which is a particularly good
reason, what’s the best way to
choose a candidate to represent
your interests in Concord? Will the
candidate vote the party line, regardless of what constituents want, or
will he or she vote his or her own
particular beliefs, again regardless of
the desire of residents.
Will candidates hold forums to
debate each other? Not that we’ve
heard. Some will speak at political
party meetings, some will visit clubs
and social gatherings, but when will
the real issues be debated? Such as
how to pay for infrastructure that is
failing? How to keep from putting
more and more of a burden on the
local property tax by downshifting
costs? Why is casino gambling not
appropriate for New Hampshire, disregarding the many New Hampshire
residents who flock to spend their
money at casinos in neighboring
states.
And most importantly - and the
hardest to discern - how do candidates propose to cut through the
platitudes and generalities and official party lines and express their real
beliefs? Or will that never happen?
Listen to and read everything a
candidate says. Ask him or her questions. If the answer says nothing,
confront them and ask it again.
How will you decide who gets
your vote? You’ve got your work cut
out for you.

Hidden Gem
To the editor:
When my family and I
moved to Londonderry in
1971 in order to begin our
dental practice, we fund a
rather small, sleepy country town. As the years
have quickly passed, the
town has grown exponentially, and along with this
growth there has been the
expected increase in
things to both see and do.
Please allow me to
share with your readers
an interesting Londonderry “bright spot,” which
may have remained unseen by many. This oftunobserved “jewel” is the
New Hampshire Aviation
Museum, located in town
on Navigator Road at the
Manchester Airport.
Built around the original control tower (constructed in the 1930s), it
features New Hampshire’s
role in aviation, both in
World War II and peacetime. I found my visit to
be both fascinating and
educational, and wanted
to take the opportunity to
share this experience
with other “townies.”
See this gem for yourselves! Hours are limited so
check www.nhahs.org. You
won’t be disappointed.

Vetting Innis
To the editor:
As another election
season begins, it is important for us as leaders
within the Republican
Party to vet our Party’s
candidates to make sure
that the people we put
forth will represent conservative, limited govern-
ment principals.
As the First-In-theNation Primary State we
take this responsibility
seriously; conservatives
everywhere rely on us to
make sure our candidates
are strong. We also have
that responsibility for our
local candidates, from
State government, to Congress to Senate and Governor.
Here in the First Congressional District we
must take a second look
at UNH Professor Dan
Innis. Professor Innis is
running in the Republican
Primary for Congress but
his lack of conservative
credentials gives pause
for concern.
We have had six years
of President Obama,
whose intentions are
judged more frequently
than the result of the legislation he favors or the
actual results of his policies. Professor Innis must
be judged on his record,
not his words.
Professor Innis was a registered Democrat through
the 2012 election, pulling
Democratic ballots in
both the 2012 State Primary and 2008 Presidential
Primary. Which begs the
question, who did Dan
Innis support for President in 2008: President
Obama or Hillary Clinton?
Having voted Democrat
for President, he likely
voted for Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter too.
Only when he decided
to run for Congress did he
change his party affiliation to Republican.
In 2012, when you and
I were working hard to
defeat President Obama
and campaigning to elect
conservatives, Dan Innis
was working against us.
Professor Innis voluntarily donated $500 to
Jackie Cilley for Governor
in 2012. Yes, the same
Jackie Cilley who was
found to be to the left of
the Democratic Party in
New Hampshire! The same
Jackie Cilley who was the
only candidate for Governor to support an income
and broad based sales tax
for our state. And the
same Jackie Cilley who
went to work for Congresswoman Carol SheaPorter after her own campaign failed.
Even as he claims to
be a Republican now, the
limited positions he has
taken would make even
the most moderate Republican cringe. He is the
only Republican candidate for Congress in New
Hampshire who believes
that we should raise the
debt ceiling without any
spending cuts. In fact, he
demands we eliminate the
debt ceiling, removing
any breaks from the runaway spending train that
is Washington, D.C.
We expect this from
Senator Shaheen, Congresswoman Kuster and
Congresswoman SheaPorter. But someone running for the GOP nomination?
As you continue to
meet and vet candidates
for office at local GOP
events, I encourage you to
ask Mr. Innis about his
past support of liberal
Democrats and his ability
to represent our conservative values.

Planning Board Signature Policy Change Discussed
JAY HOBSON
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
alling it a way of
improving service,
Town Planner Cynthia May outlined a plan
to require only two planning board members to
sign plans rather than
have multiple board members doing the signing at a
meeting.
“Is the point of this that
you haven’t had a secretary
available at a meeting when
there were plans to sign and
people are requesting that
the plans get signed in
between meetings and we
C
just need to get a couple of
people to the offices, is that
what this is intended to
do?” board member Laura
El-Azem asked at last week’s
Planning Board meeting.
“It started with looking
at ways to improve service within the community
and get more streamlined
processes done. This is in
line with all the communities I’ve ever worked in,”
May said.
She said the new policy
would
eliminate
the
requirement of the planning board to hold additional meetings to author-
◆
ize final approval. She suggested that it be the chairman and secretary or their
designees who do the signing, and said she had not
yet showed the proposal
to the town’s attorney.
“Do other towns find
then that most developers come in between
meetings to have plans
signed as a common
thing?” El-Azem said.
“That is how it’s
done,” May responded.
“When the plans are
ready, staff says, ‘OK,
your plans are ready,’ we
tag them and lay them
out. It was easier in Bedford because two of the
planning board members
actually worked in the
building, so I would generally get them unless they
weren’t at the meeting,
then I would reach out to
the chair next and then
just go down the list.”
May said one of the
hardest hurdles that
developers go through
designees.
“All the more reason
to leave it the way it is in
your rules of procedure,”
May said.
“So it sounds like I
should make the rules of
procedure consistent with
the regulation and periodically when you elect the
chair and vice chair, then
the designees would be chosen at that time,” May said.
May said the only people who can’t sign plans
are the alternates.

caped and overcame the
obstacles. When she
closed her eyes, she felt a
gentle touch and someone said, “tag, you’re it.”
“I have found this to
be a metaphor for my real
life experiences,” Litch
said.
She said that when she
was young she would
chase the water as it
receded to the sea and
would run back as a new
wave approached. “Curiosity and exploration lead
me to an enjoyable new
experience,” Litch said.
On a family outing to
Texas, she and her family
went tubing and she was
caught upside down in
the water with her tube;
she learned to hold on
and to hold her breath
under water.
Years later she was on
another outing where she
and her father went on a

before going into free fall.
“Side by side we were
pulled up and up and up.
Totally unexpected, we
pulled the cord and we
began to free fall. As the
air rushed by, all I heard
was a high pitched little
girl scream. To my shock
it wasn’t my own, but my
dad’s,” Litch said.
The moral of her story,
she said, is to look back at
obstacles with “the same
child-like ferocity you
used when you were little.
“Experience life to the
fullest, and finally persevere through all your difficult times because you
never know where that
final door my lead you,”
Litch said.
“We are leaving Lancer
Nation; surely every student on this floor knows
what that means,” Class
President Michael Bolduc
said. “Lancer Nation is a
frame of mind, hundreds
of students, boys and
girls donating their hair
to make wigs for people
in need. It’s a sense of
duty, letting your peers
motivate you into doing
more than you ever
thought possible and
never accepting anything
less than excellence. It’s a
work ethic, Mr. (Art)
Psaledas and Mr. (Mike)
Dolphin leaving after giving 100 percent of their
souls to us and allowing
us to have the best four
years of our lives.”
He said that even
though Assistant Principal
Psaledas and Dolphin
would not be in the halls
next year, as they are retiring June 30, “their presence will be felt forever.
“In a way, the same
thing can be said about
the class of 2014,” Bolduc
added. “We are Lancer

LMS Students Recycle Supplies For Next Academic Year
JAY HOBSON
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
our sixth grade students - Kentin Virgin,
Liam Macneil, Liam
McIntyre, and Sam Fish came up with the idea of
asking their classmates to
donate reusable notebooks and binders instead of throwing them
out at the end of the
school year.
“The boys knew that a
lot of the kids don’t have
F
the money to buy binders
and they knew that we
give them out, and so
they came up with the
idea to ask students to
donate binders and unused notebooks so students could use them
next year,” sixth grade
guidance counselor Nancy
Marston said.
Virgin asked custodian
Ira Cohen for boxes to
store pens, pencils, binders, calculators and
small supplies, Virgin
said.
Macneil said the students made up fliers to
put in classrooms and
hallways.
Fish said the students
made daily announcements, each taking a turn
reading: “We are the sixth
grade Supply Savers,
working hard to recycle
and to provide school
supplies to kids who need
them next year. Two
◆
boxes are now in each
team. A large cardboard
box is for your binders,
backpacks and gym bags.
The smaller blue container is for small supplies
such as pens, calculators,
highlighters in good condition which you do not
want any more. Thank
you for helping our
school.”
The students put
boxes in each team’s
classrooms to house the
donations.
Cohen said there had
been several meetings to
plan what the students
would be doing and how
the donations were to be
collected. “This is their
idea and they collected
two large boxes of
binders and other supplies,” he said.
“This was a teachable
exercise that will not only
help future students with
supplies, but also helped
the students with their
communication skills,”
Marston said.

Musquash Target Shooting
Discussion is Delayed

————––––––————–◆
discussion scheduled Monday night
on target shooting
in the Musquash has been
postponed.
Town Council Chairman Tom Dolan at Monday’s meeting said that it
would be brought up in
early September.
“From time to time we
have discussed the issue
of target shooting in the
Musquash conservation
area,” he said. “The issue
has again resurfaced this
year. I want to assure the
public that the Town

to deal with this issue. We
have taken some preliminary steps to investigate
what our legal authorities
are, and what our sister
towns/communities have
done to deal with this
issue.
“Normally, we bring a
new ordinance to the public with a first reading,
which serves as notice for
a public hearing to be
held, usually with the
next regular meeting,” he
added. “However, we will
treat this topic slightly
differently. Once the summer vacation season
winds down, we will first
begin with a public work-

for many, I ask your
engagement with the
Council and with each
other to be thoughtful,
fair-minded, and civil.”
Discussion has taken

of the Conservation Commission about target
shooting in the Musquash, particularly about
shooting across the trails.

Proposed Nursing Home Certificate of Need Meeting June 19
JAY HOBSON
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
109- bed assisted
care facility called
Traditions at Londonderry, proposed for
the corner of Mammoth
and Grenier Field roads,
goes to its Certificate of
Need hearing in Concord
on Thursday, June 19.
According to Cindy
Carrier of the Health Service Planning and Review
Board, “the board will
vote it up or down at the
meeting on whether or
not the application has
been approved and they
can go ahead to build that
and operationalize it or
not.”
Carrier said that the
meeting is open and the
public and other institutions can have input.
“Nobody as yet has
asked whether or not to
be an intervener for
adding input to the meet-
A
ing,” Carrier said Monday,
the deadline to make such
a request.
The meeting will be
held at 9:30 a.m. at the
New Hampshire Hospital
Association, 125 Airport
Road, Concord.
Carrier said that she
couldn’t speak to the merits of the application
specifically because the
review process was ongoing.
“The criteria is set by
regulation,” she explained. “The applicant submits their application and
answers a series of questions, and we evaluate
that based upon their
responses and the material they submitted. There
are a host of questions
consisting of 100 pages or
something. It’s very involved.”
According to the
board’s website, the proposed project has a cost

of about $14,370,000. The
board regulates the Certificate of Need Program.
“The Certificate of
Need Program is a state
program that is the final
authority on specific entity construction and renovation projects that are
related to healthcare entities like nursing homes or
hospitals and ambulatory
surgery facilities,” Carrier
said.
“If a hospital is looking
to add a wing, there is a
financial aspect to the
statute, they need ap-
proval of the board, permission of the board to go
ahead with that project.
They don’t get to construct it and then get it
licensed,” she said.
Carrier said the program had its roots in the
federal government in the
early ‘70s to prevent
excessive spending and
duplication of services.
“The state continued
the program as sort of
gate keepers for these
types of projects,” Carrier
said.

Impact Fee Refunds Announced
JAY HOBSON
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
ondonderry Finance
Director Sue Hickey
advised the Town
Council Monday night
that impact fee refunds
she is required to announce every six months,
in December and June,
totaled $18, 552.63. That
sum includes $178.21 in
interest as of June 30.
She said that in December there will be
$61,217.35 in expired fees.
Hickey noted that
there are no impact fees
currently being charged.
The impact fee refunds
are from fees that were
collected but not used for
their designated purpose
over a six-year period. In
that circumstance, the
L
town is required to refund
the fees.
Councilor Tom Freda
asked if Hickey was able
to contact everyone due
for a refund.
She said she could not
do so. “There are some
people that are no longer
able to be receiving their
mail because they are
incarcerated or for other
reasons,” Hickey said.
When that happens,
the check is returned to
the town, which holds on
to it. “We will put an ad in
the newspaper asking
someone to come forward
and claim it and if not, the
state will be notified of it
as unclaimed property
and we hold on to it,”
Hickey said.
Council Chairman Tom
Dolan asked for assurance that the money was
in reserve and Hickey
said it is. The Council
voted to disburse the
money.
In other business:
• Hickey informed the
Council of the yearly receipt of money and donated equipment by the
town, totaling $343,391.94.
Freda asked if the Local
Government Center money received included the
employee amount and
Hickey said it was the
employer amount only.
Freda also asked if money
received from the fire
department account went
to the fire department.
Hickey said it went to the
General Fund.
• A discussion sched-
uled on the agenda on
nepotism and conflicts of
interest was postponed
until the next meeting by
request of Councilor John
Farrell.
• An ordinance regarding the town’s providing
civil marriages for a fee of
$50 was passed unanimously.
• The Council unanimously voted to appoint
Art Rugg, Sharon Carson
and Deb Lievens to the
Southern New Hampshire
Planning
Commission,
each for a four-year term,
and to appoint Nancy
Michels and Art Rugg to
the CART (Cooperative
Alliance for Regional
Transportation) board of
directors.

All of the issues had
been brought to Dudek's
attention during the past

Freda asked Canuel if
complaints were enough to
issue a citation or if Canuel

other credible person had
to see a violation.
"What the complaint

Canuel explained.

of whether deciduous

COLON CANCER
Colon cancer is cancer of the large intestine
(colon), the lower part of your digestive system.
Rectal cancer is cancer of the last several inches of
the colon. Together, they're often referred to as
colorectal cancers. Most cases of colon cancer
begin as small, non-cancerous (benign) clumps of
cells called adenomatous polyps. Over time some
of these polyps become colon cancers. Polyps may
be small and produce few, if any, symptoms. For
this reason, doctors recommend regular screening tests to help prevent colon cancer by identifying polyps before they become colon cancer.
colonoscopy has gotten the most attention in recent
years. There are also blood test, although, there is
not blood test to confirm colon cancer. A barium
enema allows doctors to create a clear silhouette of
your rectum, colon and sometimes a small portion
or your small intestine. It is important if you suspect
that you have any issues to consult with your doctor
to catch this early.
As a Family Practitioner for over 20 years in Southern
New Hampshire, I have treated new borns to individuals in their GoldenYears. My staff and I believe that prevention is the best cure. And we like to do it the oldfashioned way,by listening and caring for each patient as
if they were our own family. At the same time, we do
not ignore the innovations that are taking place in medicine and participate in the EPIC electronic medical
records in conjunction with the Elliot Hospital.
Signs and symptoms of colon cancer include: a
change in your bowel habits, including diarrhea or
constipation or a change in the consistency of your
stool for more than a couple of weeks; rectal
bleeding or blood in your stool; persistent abdominal discomfort, such as cramps, gas or pain; a feeling that your bowel doesn't empty completely; Our practice is located at theTower Hill Professional Park at
weakness or fatigue; or unexplained weight loss. 182 Rockingham Road,Suite 9,Londonderry,convenientMany people with colon cancer experience no
symptoms in the early stages of the disease.When
symptoms appear, they'll likely vary, depending on
the cancer's size and location in your large intestine. It's not clear what causes colon cancer in most
cases. Doctors know that colon cancer occurs
when healthy cells in the colon become altered.
Healthy cells grow and divide in an orderly way to
keep your body functioning normally. But sometimes this growth gets out of control. Cells continue dividing even when new cells aren't needed. In
the colon and rectum, this exaggerated growth
may cause precancerous cells to form in the lining
of your intestine. Over a long period of time, spanning up to several years, some of these areas of
abnormal cells may become cancerous.

Cotton said it was
unclear where the leak

Sheetrock removed and a
new suspended ceiling
installed, he will be able to
“get my head up there and
see where any water is
coming from, should it leak
again.”
Cotton said that the
repair cost about $1,600
and because of the loca-
tion of the work, the foyer
and the doors had to
remain closed.
“Given the location, we
couldn’t have people coming in and out, so we tried

Cotton said.
While Cotton said he

that what they say online

Ryan said most bullies are
in middle school, with elementary school next and
high school last.
“There are a lot of
instances that don’t get
reported. Walking down

a classmate, even done
fooling around, can be
considered bullying,” she
said. “Just touching someone without their permission is assault.”

Ryan said students
saw that online and laugh
and add comments.
“The next day at
school, the girl with the
lovely eyes is looking
down and avoids everyone. What are the consequences that would happen?” Ryan asked.
Ideas floated around
the class range from
expulsion of the students
who did it to the possible
suicide of the victim.
“In the eyes of the law,
everyone who posted and
took part is guilty of bullying, even if they were
coerced into taking part,
and in the eyes of the victim, it doesn’t matter if
you were coerced. It’s out
there,” Ryan said.
Ryan left the students
with the message that bullying is not a game but is a
power struggle in which it
is never right to take part.

LHS Baseball Bags 2014 Division I Championship
CHRIS PANTAZIS
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
ince walking away
from Manchester’s
New England Delta
Dental Stadium having
had to settle for the Division I runner-up trophy
last spring, the Londonderry High baseball
squad’s goal has been to
get back to the divisional
championship game this
spring and walk away a
champion.
And that was precisely
what the fifth-seeded Lancers accomplished at the
Queen City stadium last
Saturday, June 14, by
handing the rival, thirdseeded Pinkerton Academy Astros a 4-1 defeat on
a magnificent day for
baseball.
Coach Brent Demas
led his Lancers to a third
state championship under his tutelage, and this
win was powered by the
strong pitching of recently-graduated senior Tommy Corey and an eight-hit
offensive attack.
Londonderry plated
two runs in the top of the
third inning and two more
in the fourth to hand
standout hurler Corey
a nice advantage with
which to work. Pinkerton
didn’t claim a hit off the
S
lanky right-hander until
the latter half of the
fourth inning, and the
Astros notched their lone
run in the bottom half of
the sixth frame.
Pinkerton’s
coach
Steve Campo - himself a
former Londonderry High
baseball player - had his
team finish up with five
hits off Corey, who collected seven strikeouts
and didn’t walk anybody.
“All of the guys worked really hard all season
to get here, and I just had
to go out and give it my
best,” said Corey, who will
attend Franklin Pierce
University in the fall.
The Londonderry High
baseball program collected Class I baseball crowns
in both 1982 and 1983
under coach Mike Usenia,
Class L titles under Demas in 2004 and 2010, and
now a D-I championship
under Demas this year.
“This is just a phenomenal group of guys,” said
Demas. “We prepared
hard coming in, they were
ready, and all the hard
work paid off.”
The talented, evenlymatched LHS and Pinkerton baseball squads faced
off twice during the 2014
regular season, with each
side collecting a 4-2 victo-

ry. So it was anybody’s
guess whether the Lancers or Astros would
claim the D-I title in meeting number three of the
spring.
Londonderry scored
the two runs it would end
up needing to win the title
contest in the top half of
the third inning when it
touched up Pinkerton
starting pitcher Connor
Donahue for three hits.
Number nine batter
Ben Byerly started the
run with a stinging leadoff triple, and he scored
with one man out a few
minutes
later
when
Jimmy Zimolka rapped an
RBI single. A moment
after that, 2014 New
Hampshire Gatorade Player of the Year Rob Del Signore launched a long double to center field to plate
Zimolka and make it a 2-0
contest.
Demas’ dudes doubled
their lead in the top of the
fourth inning with three
more hits, but they also
ended up leaving the
bases filled.
Byerly bashed a runscoring single in the
frame, and the second
Lancer marker crossed
the plate on a fielders’
choice off the bat of
Zimolka. Londonderry also knocked Pinkerton
starter Donahue out of
the game in that frame,
but reliever John Polichetti managed to strand
three LHS runners on the
bases and keep his team’s
deficit at 4-0.
The PA crew ended
LHS’s shutout hopes in
the bottom of the sixth
when Nate Rossi smacked
a one-out double and
Chris Gerossie followed
with a single that plated
Rossi. But that one run
was all Pinkerton would
manage on this big day.

apiece from Del Signore

Lady Lancer Cassie Burbine Bags State Singles Title
CHRIS PANTAZIS
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
ondonderry
High
senior star tennis
player Cassie Burbine ended her high
school singles career by
winning the state singles
title at the Derryfield
School and Southern New
Hampshire University in
Manchester on Tuesday,
June 10.
Top-seeded Manchester Central super-freshman
Julia Chappell did everything but win against the
second-ranked LHS senior
in the championship
match, as the Assumption
College-bound Burbine
wound up taking the battle
by a 6-2, 4-6, 6-3 tally.
“This is the best ending I could ask for,” said
Burbine. “I accomplished
my four-year goal.”
The singles title battle
began at the Derryfield
L
Recent Londonderry High grad Cassie Burbine finished her tennis singles career by winning the state
crown last week.
School but then had to be
completed next door on
the lit SNHU courts due to
darkness.
Burbine, who made it as
far as the state singles
semifinals last spring
before falling to the eventual state champ Sunday
Swett of Bow, trailed Chappell by a 3-2 tally in the last
set of last week’s final
before zooming back to bag
the decisive 6-3 victory.
In the first round of
singles tourney action at
Pinkerton Academy in
Derry on Saturday, June 7,
Burbine received a firstround bye due to her
upper-level seeding. Then
in round two she disposed of Berklee Vaillancourt of Derryfield in an 80 white-washing.
And finally that day - in
round three action at PA Burbine bested Shelley
Herrington of Bishop
Brady in a 7-6 (8-6), 3-6, 60 decision.
Moving on to the Derryfield School for the second day of competition
last week, Burbine faced
the daunting task - in multiple ways - of having to
dispose of her best friend
and Londonderry High
teammate Ana Milosavljevic in round four.
Burbine won that
match handily by a score
of 6-3, 6-0, and advanced
to the title round against
Chappell. The Londonderry stalwart had to battle
hard, but she accomplished her major personal goal of an individual
title in the end.
“Her top-spin shots
kept going deep and
bouncing over my head,
and that gave me some
trouble. So I started hitting deeper to her backhand because she didn’t
have as much power with
her backhand,” said the
Lady Lancer of defeating
Chappell.
And with the singles
crown tucked safely away,
Burbine reunited with
doubles partner Milosavljevic to drive for another
title. That top-seeded duo
pushed its way into the
doubles finals against second-ranked
Derryfield
School sisters Colbi and
Berklee Vaillancourt.
The LHS ladies started
their title match against
the Derryfield duo on its
home court last Friday,
June 13, but soon had to
stop playing due to rain.
Their important match
then continued this past
Monday, June 16.
Burbine and Milosavljevic lost in the doubles
title match to the Derryfield sisters by a tally of 36, 6-4, 3-6.

Londonderry Welcomes Hordes of Lacrosse Squads to Town
CHRIS PANTAZIS
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
ith the Londonderry Youth Lacrosse Association (LYLA) taking the lead,
the town of Londonderry
experienced a massive
influx of lacrosse teams,
players, and their families
from across the Granite
State last weekend.
An estimated 300 teams
and 6,000 youngsters both male and female from 37 towns came to
Londonderry to compete
in the New Hampshire
Youth Lacrosse Association End of Year Festival on
Londonderry athletic fields
on June 14 and 15.
“The money that’s made
from concessions all weekend goes to boys’ and
W
girls’ high school boosters,” said LYLA spokesman Kevin Derhak. “And
the kids are required to
volunteer time for the
weekend.”
Abigail McCune, LYLA
parent, added, “We do
this to help to grow the
sport of lacrosse in New
Hampshire and to bring
the towns of New Hampshire together to celebrate the sport that we
love in the spirit of the
origins of lacrosse.”
The festival highlights
the work that all of the kids
have put in during a fun
weekend during which the
accent is placed upon the fun
that’s to be had in lacrosse
and much less on the winning and losing aspects.
“Traditional lacrosse
games, among the tribal
nations as early as the
17th century, were sometimes major events that
could last several days,
with 100 to 1,000 people
participating
in
the
games,” added McCune.
“Medicine men acted as
coaches, and the purpose
of these games were recreation, toughening young
warriors, participation in
collective prayer, the settling of disputes, and most
importantly the gathering
of nations in celebration.”
And the annual festival
winds up helping the Londonderry High lax booster programs a tremendous amount in the end.
“The high school lacrosse booster programs do
use it as their biggest

the proceeds from the running of the food station

trio of recentlygraduated Londonderry High boy tennis stalwarts made significant waves in state singles’ and doubles’ tournament action recently. But
in the end, a championship proved a bit more
than elusive for the nowformer Lancer standouts.
After being named the
number one seed in the
state singles tourney,
Ryan Broderick powered
his way all the way to the
championship round of
that event. But in the end
he fell short of his goal of
a title, dropping a 6-1, 6-2
A

Soucy.
In the early rounds of
the tournament at the
Derryfield School in Manchester on Saturday, June
7, Broderick drove past
Zane Keehbler of Saint
Thomas Aquinas High in
Dover by an 8-0 score,
Sam Kluger of Nashua
North by an 8-0 tally, and
then Aaron Drummond of
Moultonborough in a lopsided 6-1, 6-1 decision.
Then on Tuesday, June
10, at Derryfield, the former Lancer drove to the
title round by defeating
Ross Kenney of Winnacunnet High in Hampton

(6-4, 7-5). But besting
Soucy in the finals just
wasn’t to be for the talented local.
“Ryan went on to the
top four and had a huge
personal victory despite
terrible cramping at the
end of the first set to
defeat Ross Kenney in
straight sets, 6-4, 7-5. It was
an epic 3 1/2-hour match,”
said LHS boys’ tennis
coach Janice Tracey.
But after using up so
much energy in round
four, Broderick faced the
Herculean task of besting
Bedford stalwart Soucy.
“Unfortunately, Ryan
had nothing left in the
tank to take on Dan Soucy

of Bedford at 8:15 in the
evening,” said Tracey.
“They had almost a twohour match, with Dan the
victor.”
The strong Londonderry doubles duo of
McKinney and Court
headed into its tourney which began on Sunday,
June 8, with matches at
Derryfield and Southern
New Hampshire University next door - seeded
eighth. And that day the
Lancers offed a duo from
Winnacunnet (8-3), one
from Alvirne of Hudson
(8-2), and Marty Pelletier
and Nick Flanders from
Goffstown High (6-3, 6-3)
to advance to fourth round play at Derryfield
last Friday, June 13.
But the two skilled
locals fell out of title contention that day when
they were defeated by the
extremely tough Winnacunnet High tandem of
Kenney and Dylan Taylor.
“They won the first set
6-4 and had a tough time
closing the second set
and lost 4-6,” said Tracey.
“They had a 5-2 lead in
the third and couldn’t
close it out, and then they
lost in a third set tiebreak. But they played
phenomenal
doubles.
They were aggressive and
just had some really
tough breaks on some
really key points. But they
are champions in every
way. I am so proud of how
far they came.”

The LHS baseball team is all smiles as it poses with the 2014 Division I championship trophy mere moments after the completion of its 4-1 besting of the
rival PA Astros at New England Delta Dental Stadium last weekend.

round, thanks to a 6-0
drubbing of the ninthseeded Bedford High Bulldogs in a semifinal-round
tourney contest at Nashua’s Holman Stadium on
Wednesday, June 11.
Del Signore put forth a
masterful pitching performance, holding Bedford to a paltry two hits
while striking out 11 of
them and surrendering no
walks at all. The 11 whiffs
brought southpaw Del Signore’s season strikeout
total up to a stellar 117.
“Rob was focused and
used all his pitches effectively tonight,” said Demas.
There was no score

Lancers scored three

the school board had created the committee, and he
hesitated to answer questions that had not been
made known to the school
board. “It’s a protocol
issue,” he said.
Board member Chris
Davies asked what other
sites had been looked at
and DeFrancesco said one
was attaching it to the LHS
gym, and another was in
one of the playing fields in
front of the high school.
DeFrancesco said some
areas owned by the town
were potential sites, but
the school district wanted
to be able to use it during
school hours, so being on
school property was important. He noted he had
met with school staff and
asked how each department would use the auditorium. “They came up with
excellent suggestions,” he
said.
DeFrancesco said the
police and fire departments
could use the facility for
training, and local dance studios and karate classes
could use it for recitals and
demonstrations.
While it was originally
proposed to seat 950, the
auditorium was reduced to
800 seats, given the declining school population.
Board member Rick
Brideau asked about parking and DeFrancesco said
there is enough parking, as
the building would be
scheduled to avoid conflicts with sporting events
at the gym.
Brideau asked about
maintenance and DeFrancesco said school district

Londonderry added

get to the 6-0 count with
which it would win.
“Overall, it was a total
team effort and one to

the state title game against a very good Pinkerton
team,” said Demas.
All in all, the Lancers

the committee and said
there would not be a need
for extra staff to take care
of the auditorium.
DeFrancesco said currently the custodial staff
has to set up chairs in the
gym and cover the floor
and set up a stage for
events. Because the auditorium would already have
seats and a stage, that
would save time and
money.
Board member Mary
Wing Soares asked if the
space between the cafeteria and the new building
would have a cover to protect students and their
musical instruments in
inclement weather. DeFrancesco said the committee was trying to work
out that detail with the
state fire marshal.
Board member Laura
El-Azem asked about the
cost, and DeFrancesco said
that would be presented to
the school board Aug. 26.
Several members said
the building should be constructed in its entirety,
rather than coming back
later to build additions.

Rugg said that even though
an auditorium committee

“this is the greatest

Ham Radio Operators Gather for Field Day June 28
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
LONDONDERRY TIMES
————––––––————–◆
mateur or “ham”
radio is more than
talking to people
on the other side of the
globe. It just might save
your life.
On Saturday, June 28,
members of the Rockingham County Amateur
A
Radio Emergency Services (ARES) will spread
out over the Taylor Mill
property on Island Pond
Road in Derry to practice
their skills and show
them to the public.
A press release for the
group states, “Every year
whole regions find themselves in the dark. Tornadoes, fires, storms, ice and
even the occasional cutting
of fiber optic cables leave
people without the means to
communicate. In these cases,
the one service that has
never failed has been Amateur Radio. Amateur radio
operators, often called
‘hams’, provide backup communications for everything
from the American Red
Cross to FEMA and even
local cities and towns.”
West Rockingham County’s hams will join with
Amateur Radio operators
across the country to show
their emergency capabilities on June 28 at the Taylor
Mill Historic Site.
According to Jay Carter,
a spokesperson for the
Western Rockingham County group, “Hams” across
the United States will be
holding public demonstrations of their emergency communications
capabilities on June 28,
national Field Day.
It’s the first Field Day
they’ve had in several
years, he said.
In a Field Day, the
operators put their antennae up on an impromptu
basis and see what works
and what doesn’t work in
the great outdoors.
The operators make
themselves available in all
kinds of emergency situations, Carter said. “We provide backup communication to the American Red
Cross, police and fire
departments in situations
such as power outages
and ice storms,” he explained. When the Mother’s Day flood of 2007 took
out the power station at
Nottingham, ARES members took up posts around
that town and were able to
relay communication to
the Emergency Operations
Center, Carter said.
They also help out in
happier events such as
road races, he said,
adding, “It’s a good opportunity to practice our
communication skills.”
There are between 40
and 50 members in ARES,
with a core group of 15 to
20, and eight to 10 committed to this year’s Field
Day, Carter said.
While the Internet has
facilitated communication
with other parts of the
world, ham radio has
never gone away and is
growing, Carter said. The
American Radio Relay
League, the first organized
ham radio group, was
formed in 1914, when the
art was still in its infancy.
“You could only do short
‘hops,’ in a range of 20 to
30 miles,” Carter said. “To
get a message from Maine
to New Hampshire took
many hams.”
The practice is growing,
Carter said, because it’s
one of the most direct
forms of communication.
Computers, the Internet, Twitter can all fail,
Carter added. They can
be compromised in a crisis. “Field day is important. We want people to
know we can get the message through,” he said.
The 1805 Taylor Mill will
also be open on the 28th.
The operators will
begin setting up at 10 a.m.
and the event officially
begins at 2 p.m.
For more information

information on West Rockingham County ARES, visit
www.wrock.nhradio.org;

The public is encouraged to attend and meet
and talk with the hams.
