Derry Public Works Budget
on Track as Year Ends
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
The Town of Derry is on
track with its salt, sand and
plowing budget - so far.
Mike Fowler, Director of
Public Works, said this week
that his crews and budget are
holding their own for winter
2013, and poised for success
in winter 2014.
“Once the calendar hits
November, we’ve learned to
be prepared for anything,”
Fowler said.
This year his “anything”
was 10 to 12 “weather
events” by New Year’s. “We
have been very busy,”
Fowler said.
The interesting thing this
year was the range of weather events, Fowler added.
They’ve worked with every-
thing from 12 inches of pure
snow to iced roads after
mixed precipitation. There
have been frigid days and
unusually warm days.
The rain creates its own
issues, Fowler said, noting
that it had rained the day
before his interview, and
crews had to go out and put
salt down. “When it refreezes,
we’ll have to go back out and
re-treat it,” he said.
Fowler looks at the season as a whole, from
November to April 1, he
said. “We had one a few
years ago, on April Fool’s
Day, that was 18 to 24 inches,” he recalled.
Fowler received a budget
of $607,000 for winter
expenses, he said. That covers four areas: employee
overtime, contracted help,
salt and sand and diesel fuel.
As of Dec. 30 he had
expended $265,000, or 44
percent of his budget.
Fowler tries to plan
ahead. He noted that unlike
smaller towns, he has the
capacity to buy his salt early
and store it in his sheds. But
even so, he said that as of
Dec. 29, he was at 35 percent of his salt capacity. “We
are going to use it all,”
Fowler said. “We’ll probably have to put out another
order in late January.”
Overtime is at 40 percent, having expended
$49,000 out of a budget of
$120,000. These numbers
are “on trend” for this time
of year, according to Fowler.
“Our town employees, any
time they go beyond a 40continued on page 5
Pinkerton Works to Close
Post-High School Gap
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
Pinkerton Academy is
working to close the gap
between students who further their education and
those who don’t.
Chris Harper, academic
dean at Pinkerton, recently
discussed the school’s acceptance rate for college and
other post-secondary programs and how the school is
working to increase it.
The latest comprehensive data, on the Class of
2008, shows 71 percent of
that class’s graduates furthering their education,
whether in four-year or twoyear colleges. That breaks
down to 58 percent in fouryear schools and 13 percent
in two-year or community
colleges, Harper said. New
Hampshire was at 64 percent and the national average, 67 percent.
Of students enrolled in
four-year institutions, 95
percent return for a second
year, Harper said. Of students in two-year schools,
71 percent return. “So an
average of 89 percent of our
kids stay for a second year,”
he said. “I am very proud of
them.” The school beats
New Hampshire at 80 percent and the nation at 78 percent, according to data
charts.
Harper attributed the
retention rate to several factors: Pinkerton’s rigorous
program of study; its efforts
to help students prepare for
college, including a new
“senior math” program to
help kids brush up on fundamentals; and the junior and
senior essays, which are
“major research papers.”
He’s had students come
back from their freshman
year and say, “We were
assigned a three-page report,
and I did it in no time.”
The school’s five-year
plan is essential to keep students in school, Harper said.
They don’t just look at the
four years of high school,
but the first year after graduation. “What we want to do
is to have students have a
goal,” he said. “The goal
may change, but we want
them to constantly have
aspirations, and move toward those aspirations.”
The school wants to create a path through high

Hooksett-Pinkerton Plans
Moving Ahead for 2014-15
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
The Hooksett School
Board has indicated its willingness to approve up to
four buses to transport students to Pinkerton Academy
for the 2014-15 school year.
The cost will be roughly
$200,000, Superintendent of
Schools Charles Littlefield
said this week.
The actual cost is
$194,625, and the buses will
be “rolled in” to the district
contract with Goffstown
Trucking, Littlefield said
last week.
The district provides
buses to Manchester, until
this year its “school of
record,” Littlefield said. It
does not provide transportation to Pembroke Academy,
Londonderry High School
or Bow High School, the
three schools with which it
has a “memorandum of
understanding,” he said.
Littlefield said the Hooksett board is still working on
its budget and had planned

New Year’s Eve Crash Results in Derry Teen’s Death
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
A local teenager lost his
battle for life this past week,
while a friend continued in
intensive care after a New
Year’s Eve accident.
Kyle Ross, 17, of Hunter
Drive, died Wednesday, Jan.
1, at 3 p.m. after being airlifted to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston on
the night of Dec. 31.
Derry Police Capt. Vern
Thomas said the accident
occurred at 11:30 p.m. New
Year’s Eve, when the vehicle
driven by Ross went off the
road and hit a tree on Gulf
Road near Hampshire Drive.
A passenger, Johanna
Morse, 16, of Hope Hill
Road, Derry, was taken to
Tufts New England Medical
Center in Boston and
remained there with head
injuries and a serious fracture of hip or leg, according
to Thomas.
The third person in the
vehicle, Thompson UphamDavis, 16, of Chester, was
treated for minor injuries at
Parkland Medical Center in
Derry and released, Thomas
said.
In a press release, the
Derry Fire Department stated that Engine 1, Engine 2,
Medic 1, Medic 4 and one
car were dispatched to the
scene, where they found
Ross and Morse entrapped
in the vehicle. Upham-Davis
was able to walk around. A
third medical unit was called
to the scene. Fifteen Derry
firefighters, the entire shift,
responded to the call along
with helicopters from Dhart
(Dartmouth-Hitchcock
Advanced Response Team)
and Boston Medflight.
Fire crews used multiple
hydraulic rescue tools, and
were able to extricate Ross
and Morse within 10 minutes. Once they were extricated, teams of three firefighter-paramedics and two
firefighter-Emergency Med-
donderry Fire Department
provided station coverage.
Off-duty Derry firefighters
were recalled to their stations.
Thomas said speed was a
factor in the crash, which is
still under investigation.
Ross was a junior at
Pinkerton Academy. Upham-Davis is a junior,
Morse a sophomore.

Pinkerton was closed
Thursday and Friday due to

Morse.
The press release stated,
“This 5:1 level of staffing
was required so crews could
quickly perform multiple
life-saving, advanced life
support procedures on each
patient.”
Derry firefighters and
members of the assisting
Salem Fire department
closed the intersection of
Island Pond Road and Route
111, thus creating a helicopter landing zone. The Lon-
Headmaster Mary Anderson
said in a statement, “The
Pinkerton community is
heartbroken. We extend our
deepest condolences to the
family of Kyle Ross and we
offer our heartfelt prayers
and thoughts for Johanna’s
recovery.”
Athletic Director Tim
Powers remembered Ross as
a “good kid. We didn’t have
any problems with him,”
Powers said of Ross, who
played freshman baseball
and helped the school win a
tournament. “He was never
called to my office.”
Ross has lost “a few”
students in his career, and
said it was always a sad
time. “I feel bad for the families, the friends,” he said.
“You don’t think of teens
and their parents as having
to cope with this.”
“It’s a difficult road to
negotiate,” Fire Chief George Klauber said of Gulf
Road. He added, “It’s a terrible way to end the old year
and begin the new. As a parent, I can say that those families will never be the same.”

deaths, Simonsen said.
While many Granite
State residents have stopped
lighting up, the report indicates that 190,000 adults in
New Hampshire are still
smoking, Simonsen noted.
He said that the New Hampshire Department of Health
and Human Services (DHHS) recently announced a
contest in connection with
“Dear Me New Hampshire”
to motivate residents to quit
smoking. “We know that
smoking is linked to a number of negative health outcomes, so the decrease in

New Hampshire is the best
state in the nation for controlling diseases and the fifth best
for its overall ranking.
There was little in the
recent United Health Foundation report that surprised
Garrett Simonsen, coordinator for the Derry Regional
Public Health Network.
The positives in the
report included a decrease in
smoking, an improved high
school graduation rate and a
decrease in cardio-vascular
prevalence and the availability of programs to promote
continued reductions is
important,” he said.
New Hampshire was
also noted for its high immunization rates among
children, as well as its low
percentage of children in
poverty and low infant mortality rate. Simonsen said,
“These are indicators often
referenced in similar reports,
like the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s County
Health Rankings (www.countyhealthrankings.org). In
2013, Rockingham County
ranked #1 in their report,
which uses a similar approach (to this report) to measuring health, as well as uses
similar health indicators.”
New Hampshire’s strengths include “lots of opportunity to engage in outdoor
activity,” he said, which contributes to an overall healthy
population.
Some indicators weren’t
as good, he added. For
example, while it is low
compared to the rest of the
country, the percentage of
New Hampshire’s children
living in poverty has in-

Derry police are looking
for the suspect in a carjacking that took place this past
weekend.
Thomas said a local woman
was at the Ocean State Job
Lot on Manchester Road
this past Saturday. At 4:26
p.m., the police received a
verbiage, she had cause to
feel intimidated and gave
him the keys.” A female passenger also felt intimidated
and left the vehicle, Thomas
said.
According to the owner,
Thomas said, “He got in and
sped off.”
The police investigated
the history of the other car
and learned it had been
stolen from Manchester,
Thomas said.
The theft is under investigation, and those with
information are urged to call
Derry Police at 432-6111.

But overall, he said of
the report’s findings, “It’s
something to be proud of.”
The report parallels data
released in a report, “Outbreaks: Protecting Americans From Infections,”
released in December and
sponsored by the Robert

and the Trust for America’s
Health. In that report, New
Hampshire scored highest of
all 50 states in controlling
and preventing infectious
diseases. The state also
scored high on maintaining
or increasing public health
funding, maintaining a public health laboratory capable
of handling a surge in testing
due to an outbreak, requiring
health-care facilities to
report infections to the state
and providing HPV (Human
papillomavirus) vaccinations for teens.

creased. “We also have a
fairly high rate of obesity
and diabetes,” Simonsen
said. “These are areas where
we could stand to make
improvement.”
Simonsen said the evaluation is based on four factors:
activities that affect a resident’s health, the physical
and built environment, availability of health resources,
and access to clinical care.
Simonsen said United
Health Foundation has made
the national data for each
health indicator interactive
using online maps. He said,
“When you visit their website, you can see the change
in the state’s health status
over the course of years. For
example, you can see how
over a relatively short period
of time the state obesity rate
has increased. The report

Editorial
Supporting the Community
As we enter the new year, we’re
reminded of our purpose and our place in
the community.
Nutfield Publishing – which publishes
the Londonderry Times, Nutfield News
and Tri-Town Times – takes pride in offering the most comprehensive source for
community news in each of our five
towns. And our readers tell us they appreciate our providing the most complete
local information to their homes every
week – free.
How does a free paper work? We
depend on our advertisers. You would not
be reading this without them – nor would
you have the in-depth coverage of your
town government, photos of your neighbors helping out in the community, or
detailed recaps of school sports without
them. The more advertising we have, the
more news you get. Wonder why sometimes your paper is 16 pages, sometimes
24? It all depends on advertising.
If you enjoy this newspaper, we hope
you will thank our advertisers for their
support. If a place you visit for coffee, for
lumber, for hair styling, or for legal services is not advertising, suggest they do. And
if they say nobody reads the paper, you
know better and can help educate them.
It’s easy to say nobody reads newspapers, but that’s just parroting people who
have no idea what local news is or where
to find it. Businesses frequently ask us to
publish articles – and all news is free -
praising the business and its services. But
when that same business is approached
about advertising, the response is often
that no one reads the paper.
Can’t have it both ways. Without
advertising, we can’t exist. And without
advertising in a product that local people
read and keep around, the business
remains unknown. So it’s a win-win when
a business advertises – its services are
highlighted, and you get news of your
community.
Don’t take our advice. Listen to Warren Buffett, who has been investing in
community newspapers that provide local
coverage. He was quoted by Dan Ritter on
Jan. 4 in the Wall St. Cheat Sheet of USA
Today as saying, “If you want to know
what’s going on in your town — whether
the news is about the mayor or taxes or
high school football — there is no substitute for a local newspaper that is doing its
job. …Wherever there is a pervasive sense
of community, a paper that serves the special informational needs of that community will remain indispensable to a significant portion of its residents.”
Buying locally supports your neighbors’ businesses, rather than boosting the
profits of impersonal corporations in
another state or on another continent who
think of you only in terms of profit. When
your neighbors’ businesses thrive, your
community thrives. And we’re your
neighbors.

with the need to reduce
spending on paper the issue
of using iPads is brought up
by the town council.
Would not a less costly
mobile device or tablet suffice?
Why not an Android device
under $100 work? It is interesting that it has to be an iPad, an

continued from page 1
to meet Jan. 2 but canceled
because of the snowstorm,
he said.
While the budget is not
yet finalized, Littlefield said
$10,976.83, the current
Pinkerton tuition, will be
budgeted for every incoming
freshman, whether they
choose the Pinkerton option
or not. If the school they
choose has a higher tuition
rate, the parent will pay the
difference, he said.
If it’s lower than Pinkerton? “There are no rebates,”
he said jokingly.
A warrant article in
March will ask voters if they
approve of a 10-year high
school sending contract with
Pinkerton. A one-year “enrollment agreement,” approved in December, allows
Hooksett to send a minimum
of 75 students to Pinkerton
for 2014-15.
Littlefield said he did not
have a figure yet for the stu-
dents choosing to attend
Pinkerton under the enrollment agreement. The agreement was approved at the
Dec. 17 meeting, after
which the district “lost kids”
for the holiday break.
The school selection
forms will go out when children return to class, and if all
goes well, Littlefield said, he
hoped to have the forms
back by Jan. 17, and a tally
of who wants to go where by
Jan. 24.
The contract to be
approved in March also
requires a minimum of 75
students from each class for
the first six years, and 90
percent of Hooksett students
at Pinkerton for the final
four years.
Hooksett reached a settlement this past June for
early termination of a 20year sending contract with
Manchester. The settlement
requires Hooksett to pay
$200,000, plus increased
tuition for students still
choosing Manchester. The
Correction: A Jan. 2 article about the new facility for the Friendship Center misidentified the board
chairman. Her name is Carol Bowden.
To Our Readers and Advertisers:
settlement also calls for
Hooksett and Manchester to
negotiate a new sending
contract by 2016. Manchester has accused Hooksett of
being in breach of the settlement by negotiating a contract with Pinkerton.
In December, Hooksett
Board Chairman Trisha
Korkosz said Manchester
alleged Hooksett was in
breach of the contract
because it didn’t give Manchester an estimate of the
number of students to attend
Manchester schools next
year. But, Korkosz said, it
was her understanding that
Littlefield did give Manchester an estimate.
In addition to the March
vote, the contract must be
approved by the Pinkerton
Board of Trustees, which
will meet this month.
The contract will be
voted on in Hooksett on
Tuesday, March 11. The
budget public hearing is Jan.
16 at 7 p.m. in the Town
Hall, with a snow date of
Jan. 17; the deliberative session is Friday, Feb. 7, at 7
p.m. at Cawley Middle
School, with a snow date of
Feb. 8 at 9 a.m.

hour work week, it’s overtime,” he said. He added that
he had to commend the
DPW crews for coming out
in all kinds of weather conditions so Derry drivers can
have passable roads.
The contracted help line,
for drivers who plow with
their own vehicles, is at 27
percent, or $55,000 out of the
$207,000 budgeted, he said.
But he added that is because
all the invoices aren’t in from
previous storms.
Fowler said there is typi-
School Gap
school that is effective and
efficient, Harper said. “We
don’t want surprises” – for
example, a student reaching
his or her senior year and
deciding, “I want to go into
nursing!” It can be done,
Harper said, but it can be
done more easily with a program of Pinkerton courses
that will prepare the student
for nursing school.
Harper doesn’t know
why kids drop out. “I’m not
usually privy to that information,” he said. Tracking
the Class of 2006, he learned
that 70 percent were still in
college or had graduated.
Nineteen percent never
entered post-secondary education, but chose to enter the
workplace or the military,
and 17.6 percent went to
college but did not finish.
Anecdotally, he said, they
don’t finish because of
financial concerns or family
issues.
“We’re trying to work on
the 19 percent that didn’t go
and the 17 percent that didn’t finish,” he said.
Today’s students have
another option, the focused
“career school,” such as cosmetology school, and Pinkerton recently promoted these
with a “career school fair.”
Why is it important for
students to continue their
education? “High school is a
great place, a great beginning,” Harper said. “But the
job opportunities for someone with only a high school
education - they’re minimal.”
cally a two-week stretch in
January and February when
things stay dry. But with the
weather of past years in
mind, he’s taking “one day at
a time, one storm at a time.
“The crews are holding up
well, the equipment is holding
up well,” Fowler said.
But there are days when
even salt doesn’t work,
Fowler said. “It is limited in
its effectiveness when the
temperature drops below 15
degrees,” he said.
And we’ve seen a lot of
that lately.
For example, Fowler
said, the Jan. 2 and 3 snowstorm came with colder temperatures. “By Friday, the
majority of the roads had ice
packed on them,” he said.
When it’s cold, Fowler
said, the salt doesn’t have the
ability to break the chemical
bond of the ice and snow.
He had a strategy, he
said. “We cleared the roads
the best we could on Thursday and Friday, then sched-
uled crews to come in on
Saturday to put the chemical
treatment down,” he said. An
increase in vehicular traffic
on the weekend also helped
to melt the ice, he added.
In Southern New Hampshire, snowstorms are rarely
accompanied by those frigid
temperatures, he added.
Some communities put sand
out when it’s below freezing,
but his crews only put it on
trouble spots such as intersections and hills. It varies
from town to town, he said.
January storms are usually accompanied by 25 to
30 degree temperatures in
the daytime, he said - except
for last week.
February and March
storms are easier to clean up,
Fowler added. The sun is at
a higher angle and they’re
more able to “break the
bond” and dissolve the ice.
“This storm was cold
from the beginning,” he said,
“and the cars went over the
snow and packed it down.”

and 3, was fairly kind to
Fire Chief and EmerDerry, despite the fact that it gency Management Director
came with bone-chilling George Klauber said, “We
did fairly well. There were
no incidents.” And despite
the extreme cold, there were
no requests for shelter, he
said.
Klauber said on Jan. 2
that the town was prepared
to open “warming shelters,”
though he had received no
requests at that point.
Klauber said he has opened
municipal buildings for this
purpose in the past. But historically, he said, his constituents prefer to stay with
relatives or tough it out at
home.
He opened a shelter during the 2008 ice storm, and
said, “At most we had 20
people.”
During the storm, Klauber said he and his staff
would be monitoring the situation. But by Monday they
reported that their fellow
residents made other
arrangements.
The fact that it happened
Jan. 2, when many people
were still on vacation, also
helped, Klauber said. “They
heeded our advice to stay in,
and that gave Public Works
the opportunity to do what
they do,” he said.
It was a busy weekend
for the Fire Department (see
related story page 10). While
there were no serious accidents resulting from the
storm, several buildings had
burst pipes, including Gilbert H. Hood Middle School
and the Halcyon Club. “The
extreme cold froze the pipes,
and as soon as they warmed
up, they started to leak,”
Klauber said.
Between fire and Emergency Medical Services,
they responded to 27 calls
on Saturday, Klauber said.
There were no reported
power outages in Derry and
minimal outages across the
state, Michael Skelton, a
spokesman for Public Service Co. of New Hampshire,
said. “This was fluffy and
light (snow), and it accumulated slowly,” Skelton said.
“The heavy, wet snow is
what brings the lines down.”
But both he and Klauber
observed that there is still a
good chunk of winter to get
through.

Pinkerton Place is Filling Up in Town’s TIF District
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
The new unit at Pinkerton Place is open for business and has two tenants and
more on the way.
A Verizon Wireless store
opened before Christmas,
according to Chris McMahon, leasing agent for the
facility. McMahon said the
store, named Go Wireless,
signed a lease for 1,570
square feet this past spring
and opened Nov. 1, the first
business in the new building.
Go Wireless relocated from
Hood Commons, McMahon
said.
Vanguard Dental of
Derry will be opening in the
building Monday, Jan. 13.
McMahon said, “Dr. Craig
Rothenberg and Dr. Michael
Moskowitz signed a lease
this summer for 5,328
square feet. They are moving to Pinkerton Place to
better serve their patients
with a larger, more comfortable facility.”
Pinkerton Place is part of
the town’s TIF (Tax Increment Financing) District, in
which tax revenues from the
businesses go toward paying
off the bond for the infrastructure.
The complex was devel-
oped and is owned by
Boomer Wolf, LLC, which
purchased two former car
dealerships in 2010. The former Allen Dodge building
was renovated to house
Woof Meow, a comprehensive pet supply store. The
other car dealership was
demolished to make way for
the free-standing Panera
Bread and Goodwill stores.
Tighe and Bond of Portsmouth provided engineering
services, while Jewett Construction of Raymond was
the builder for the new
building and Panera.
The total footprint of
Pinkerton Place is 49,000
square feet, McMahon said.
McMahon listed several
reasons why the complex is
filling up. “First, Pinkerton
Place is easily accessed
from a fully signalized intersection, which makes it easy
for customers to enter and
exit the property,” McMahon said. “Second, Pinkerton Place is located at the
entrance to both Super Walmart and Derry Five Star
Cinemas, which are both
major traffic generators.
Third, Pinkerton Place fea-
tures excellent pylon signage on both Ashleigh Drive
and Manchester Road,
advertising the retailers and
businesses that customers
can visit. Lastly, Pinkerton
Place is designed with the
customer in mind – it is well
lit, has ample parking, aesthetically pleasing building
designs, and is home to businesses and retailers that are
in demand for the shoppers
of Derry and the surrounding area.”
McMahon said he and
Boomer Wolf are in talks
with several interested parties about the remaining
spaces and expect to secure
tenants soon. There is only
one retail space left at 2,106
square feet, and they are
looking for a restaurant,
retail shop, salon or spa,
bank or financial office, or
any type of business that
would complement the current tenants and benefit from
the heavy traffic on Manchester Road and Ashleigh
Drive.

Woman Faces Negligent Operation Charge After Hitting State Cruiser
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
A Derry woman was
issued a summons for Negligent Operation after the car
she was driving hit a State
Trooper’s cruiser, causing
damage to the cruiser and
injuries to the trooper.
Kim Gullage, 47, of
Derry was driving her Ford
Expedition on Saturday, Jan.
4, northbound on Interstate
93 when she began to leave
the highway on the Exit 20
off-ramp at Tilton. She said in
a statement that she observed
the cruiser with its emergency
lights activated and she
applied her brakes. But she
was traveling too fast for the
road conditions and lost control of her vehicle on the partially snow-covered road. She
struck the rear of the cruiser,
pushing it forward approximately 20 feet and causing
significant damage, according to a press release from the
New Hampshire State Police.
Gullage’s vehicle came
to rest approximately 20 feet
off the left side of the roadway in the snow.
Gullage was not injured as
a result of the crash. The
trooper was transported to
Franklin Regional Hospital
with non-life-threatening injuries and was later released.
The road was closed for
approximately 45 minutes as
the State Police investigated
the crash.
Speed was deemed a factor in the crash.
The State Police remind
drivers to operate in accordance with RSA 265:60,
which reads: “No person
shall drive a vehicle on a
way at a speed greater than
is reasonable and prudent
under the conditions and
having regard to the actual
and potential hazards then
existing. In every event
speed shall be so controlled
as may be necessary to avoid
colliding with any person,
vehicle, or other conveyance
on or entering the way in
compliance with legal
requirements and the duty of
all persons to use due care.”

At 1:20 p.m., police

Attempt to Thaw Pipes Leaves Two Families Homeless
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
A two-family home
was declared uninhabitable and its residents were
assisted by the Red Cross
after a structure fire Saturday, Jan. 4.
Fire crews were called
to 5 Mount Pleasant St. at
8:49 a.m., according to a
fire department press
release. Engines 1, 2 and 3
and Car 1 first responded.
Engine 4 and Medic 1 were
on another call.
Derry Fire Battalion
Chief Jack Webb wrote in a
press release, “Upon
arrival, crews observed
moderate smoke pushing
from the front of a 100year-old two-family house,
from the rear apartment and
from the eaves. The structure was a balloon-framed
house with an apartment
addition on the rear. All
occupants were out of the
building and they reported a
fire in the walls in the rear
apartment. The fire was
started by the landlord, who
was attempting to thaw
frozen pipes using a
propane torch.”
Webb said crews quickly knocked the fire down
and then dismantled several
interior and exterior walls
to extinguish the spreading
fire. Crews also ventilated
the structure while using
air-monitoring equipment
to ensure that all carbon
monoxide and hydrogen
cyanide (both toxic gases
found in smoke) were
removed from the structure.
Webb wrote that due to
the damage to the piping
and electrical systems, all
utilities, including propane,
had to be shut off, leaving
both units un-inhabitable.
The fire is being investigated by the Derry Code
Enforcement and Derry
Fire Prevention Bureau.
Three adults and two
dogs were living in the
main house and two adults
in the rear apartment.
According to Webb, none of
the occupants had renter’s
insurance or another place
to stay. The American Red
Cross assisted them in finding temporary housing.
The majority of the
damage was to the structure
itself, and the occupants
were able to retrieve most
of their belongings.
According to Derry Assessor’s records, the house
is assessed at $143,700
and is owned by Clement
Laplante of Derry.
There were no injuries
to fire personnel. An adult
female resident with a history of respiratory problems
developed shortness of
breath while awaiting arrival of the Red Cross, and
was treated and transported
by Derry Fire Department
to Parkland Medical Center,
Webb wrote.
In addition, Webb
wrote, Derry Police Department provided traffic control, and the Salvation
Army responded to provide

provided station coverage,
and off-duty Derry fire personnel were recalled to
their stations.
Webb wrote, “Fortunately there were two dispatchers on during this incident, because they had to
dispatch 16 calls in Derry,
Hampstead, Windham and
Auburn that occurred while
units were at this fire. Ten
of the calls were in Derry
and included a cardiac
arrest save. This cardiac
arrest save was handled by
a Londonderry engine crew
and Derry Medic that was
staffed by both on-duty and
recall personnel. Derry
Police also responded to
this cardiac arrest.”
Webb wrote that on Saturday, all Derry personnel,
recall personnel and mutual
aid were committed to a
variety of calls, including
water problems, fire alarm
activations, falls, and medical emergencies.

PA Icemen Put Forth Uninspired Effort vs. Blue Devils
CHRIS PANTAZIS
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
As it entered its Saturday
night, Jan. 4 contest against
the undefeated Salem High
Blue Devils at the Salem
Icenter, the Pinkerton
Academy ice hockey team
knew it would have to play a
good game to keep those
Blue Devils from becoming
4-0 in Division I. But by the
end of the evening, the
tough Salem crew was in
fact 4-0, and the Astros were
still seeking their first divisional win.
First-year head coach
Joey Lee’s Astros didn’t
have the good effort required to blemish the host
Blue Devils’ record, instead
looking like they were sleepwalking through the important contest that rolled
Pinkerton into the post-holiday segment of the 2013-14
campaign.
The now 0-2-1 Astros
netted the only goal of the
first period thanks to an
impressive goal-scorer’s effort from forward Ethan
Landry. With a delayed
penalty about to be called on
Salem and a little more than
four minutes gone, Landry
skated the puck through the
left faceoff circle in the Blue
Devils’ defensive zone and
zipped a beautiful wrist shot

NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
Good athletic teams find
a way to face up to adversity
and knock it sideways. And
that’s what Pinkerton Academy’s varsity girls’ basketball coach Lani Buskey saw
her Lady Astros do in their
first Division I contest after
the holidays last weekend.
The Pinkerton team
would have had a tough time
with the Alvirne High Lady
Broncos of Hudson in any situation. But after having gone
a number of days without
practice for multiple reasons,
the academy cagers were
looking at having to shake off
some rust and best a tough
opponent as well in their
Saturday, Jan. 4 home match.
The Pinkerton crew did
just that, driving its way to a
48-42 win to move to 2-0 in
D-I with a strong team effort.
“This was a good victory,” said Buskey. “We haven’t practiced since Tuesday,
with New Year’s and then the
tragedy with the Pinkerton
student (in an auto accident),
so any kind of victory on a
day like today is a good victory.”
The hosts held a modest
lead at the end of one quarter (17-14), and they maintained leads of three to eight
points throughout the vast
majority of the rest of the
contest.
Colleen Fortier paced
the Astro offense by netting
a dozen points, and Kayla
Stacy, Val Martin, and Corina Moore each contributed
nine in the win.
Alvirne received 10 big
points from Veronica Moceri in the first period, but the
Lady Astros’ lead sat at three
points when that quarter was
over.
The second quarter was
even better from the Pinkerton perspective as the
hosts outscored their guests
by a 10-4 margin to carry a
27-18 advantage to the halftime break.
The only quarter Alvirne
“won” was the third, as the
Lady Broncos outscored PA
by a 17-13 margin and faced
a surmountable 40-35 deficit
as the fourth period commenced.
But the closest Alvirne
got to taking over the lead
was 40-37, thanks to the fact
that it netted the first points
of the fourth, and the Lady
Astros kept battling hard as
the Lady Broncos went into
a shooting drought down the
stretch, and the hosts wound
up winning by six.

contest.
The Astros enjoyed a 6-3
advantage in shots on net,
but the high points would be
few and far between for
Pinkerton through the rest of
the night.
The Blue Devils enjoyed
four full or partial powerplays in the second period,
scored one power-play
marker and an even-strength
goal, and carried a 2-1 lead
into the third period.
Salem would score twice
more and notch the 4-1 win,
with Pinkerton goalie Brendan Murphy’s 13 saves
being among his team’s
biggest positives of the
evening. But those positives
weren’t all that easy to find
on a rough night for the
Pinkerton crew.

Jan. 4, in a big home meet at
Southern New Hampshire
University in Manchester.
The Astro contingents
went against the tough Bish-
op Guertin crews from
Nashua and the Souhegan
High squads from Amherst and several other visiting but
much less dangerous teams in their home pool, and the
final scores against the BG
and Souhegan squads were
quite tight.
The now 5-2-1 academy
girls lost to BG (89-80
score) but bested Souhegan
(90-78), Spaulding of Roch-
ester (132-24), and Timberlane of Plaistow (102-66) to
post a 3-1 record on the busy
day.
The now 5-3 Astro guys

PA Wrestlers Battle Some Tough Rivals and Fare Well
CHRIS PANTAZIS
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
Pinkerton Academy wrestling coach Dave Rhoads is
working to get a sense of
what his team might be
capable of this winter. And
Rhoads’ grapplers gave their
coach a bit more grist for his
planning mill at recent
events.
The PA bunch had a
solid showing at the 48th
annual George Bossi Invitational (Lowell Holiday)
Wrestling Tournament at the
Tsongas Center in Lowell,
Mass., on Sunday and
Monday, Dec. 29 and 30.
And then the Astros made a
clean sweep of the competition in a three-team meet in
Goffstown this past weekend.
Some 72 teams and nearly 900 wrestlers competed at
the Lowell event, and the
Astros wound up 17th overall, just a half point behind
the 16th place Concord High
Crimson Tide crew. The
Mount Anthony Union High
School team from Vermont
won the event handily.
Pinkerton had 11 grapplers compete and Rhoads
wound up with a good idea
of where his charges and his
team rank at present.
“We wrestle at Lowell to
give us a mid-season feel for
where we stand against the
best teams in New England,”
he said. “Overall, I came out
of the grueling tournament
with the knowledge that
we’re about where I expected us to be. Our young guys
got a taste for some tough
competition in a big arena,
while our experienced wrestlers battled hard throughout.”
Senior 220-pound class
competitor Kevin Ell paced
the PA grapplers by finishing fourth overall with a 4-2
record. Sophomore Dylan
Barreiro ended up seventh in
his 170-pound class (5-2
record), and senior Brett
Wilson landed seventh in the
152-pound division (7-2).
Freshman Shayne McCann (113 pounds), junior
Tyler Wilson (160), and
sophomore Joey Lydick
(195) all put forth winning,
3-2 records, while junior
120-pound competitor Eric
Daigle ended up at 2-2.
“Now, we’ll turn our
attention toward the dualmeet season along with tournaments in Rhode Island and
Concord,” said Rhoads. “Our
ultimate goal is to peak going
into the D-1 (championship
meet), the Meet of Champions, and the New Englands
during the last three weeks of
the season.”
In the road tri-meet at
Goffstown High School last
Saturday, Jan. 4, the Pinkerton bunch drove past both
the host Grizzlies (46-31
score) and the Bishop
Guertin Cardinals of Nashua
(44-30) on a highly productive day.
Perfect 2-0 records were
registered by McCann,
Daigle, Brett Wilson, and
Ell, while David Parrott
(160 pounder), Bryan Sullivan (182), Nick Messina
(195), and heavyweight
Ben Trickett all went 1-1 to
contribute to the team success.

Pinkerton Academy’s
track and field teams have
the capability of doing plenty of winning this winter.
And both the boys and girls
gave more evidence of that
fact last Saturday, Jan. 4, at
the University of New
Hampshire’s Sweet Oval in
Durham.
The two-time defending
champion Pinkerton boys
had no trouble finishing first
out of 11 teams, tallying 103
points to outdistance the
runner-up squad from Bedford (45) and everyone else
easily.
The academy girls were
nine points better than the
second-place Bedford Lady
Bulldogs (67-56) and eight
other contingents in winning
the meet.
BOYS
Coach Ian French’s talented and determined crew
bagged a bunch of first
places, with Zach Cicio

French’s force also got
second places from John
Davis in the shot put and the
4x160 relay team, and a
third from T.J. Urbanik in
the long jump.
GIRLS
Coach Rebecca Noe’s
team had plenty about which
to be pleased with its performance, and the coach had
no trouble expressing her
pleasure with the work of
her charges.
“Taking on some very
competitive schools, the
girls gave 100 percent to
walk away with the win,”
said Noe.
The opening event was
the 3000-meter run, in
which the PA girls swept the
first four spots, thanks to
winner Morgan Sansing
(10:38), Olivia Tracy, Haley
McMullen, and Kaila Cote.
Coming back full force
this season, standout Michaela Blackwell earned first
place in the long jump (15
feet, 6 inches) and third in
the 55 dash.
Ariel Vaillancourt qualified for the state meet and
won the 1000 (3:08.6), and
she also placed second in the
1500.
After the 3000, Sansing
contributed more points to
the PA cause by placing
third in the 1500m, Erin
Coutts placed third in the
600, Jacqui Wyka qualified
in the 1000 and placed second, and Kayla Watson
nabbed third in the shot.

However, Alvirne put
together its best single scoring output of the night (25

Derry's Najem Takes Title in Annual Millennium Race
Runners of all ages and hailing from quite a few different places came together to run in the 15th
Millennium Mile in Londonderry on New Year’s Day. Derry resident Peter Najem won the race.
CHRIS PANTAZIS
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
Peter Najem has tasted
all kinds of glory during his
superb running career. And
the 27-year-old Derry resident and former Keene State
College star got to sample a
bit more on New Year's Day
when he won the 15th annual Millennium Mile in
Londonderry.
Najem - who also won
the Greater Derry Track
Club's annual Turkey Trot
on Thanksgiving morning of
2013 - paced the record
crowd of 1,604 finishers by
winning the one-mile, down-
hill race in 3 minutes and
58.55 seconds. Twentyyear-old Dylan Lafond of
Berwick, Maine was right
on Najem's heels, finishing
second in 3:58.78.
The Pinkerton Academy
track and field and crosscountry programs were well
represented by graduates
Najem, Patrick Chabot, and
Doug Ainscow, all of whom
were among the top 16 finishers.
Manchester resident Christine Shaw, age 28, was the
first female finisher, doing
so in 4:57.28 and coming in
34th overall. Derry resident
Chabot ended up winning
his male 12-to-19-year-old
division with his fine time of
4:19, and he finished sixth
overall.
Millennium Mile race
director John Mortimer - a
former Londonderry High
School track and crosscountry star - and his staff
were overjoyed on New
Year's Day 2013 with the
record 1,429 finishers they
had. That number was 600
more than they'd ever seen
in the history of the event.
So having more than 1,600
racers this year was particularly pleasing.
Mortimer and his close
buddies - and former Pinkerton running standouts Matt and Andy Downing
began the Millennium Mile
as a lark on New Year's Day
1999. A mere 127 runners
took part in that first event,
but it has grown tremendously, with racers coming
from all over the region and
beyond.
A portion of the proceeds from the annual event
go to the Jack and June
Mortimer Memorial Scholarship - named after John’s
late mom and dad - which is
given to one college-bound
student/athlete from New
Hampshire annually. Teens
from Pinkerton and Londonderry High have won the
scholarship in the past, as
have others from different
parts of the state.
John Mortimer's Millennium Running also donates $300, $200, and $100
respectively to the three
schools with the highest
numbers of students participating in the annual race.
Pinkerton Bowlers Snag Sweeps at a Pair of Competitions

——◆—–––
Coach Janet Boyden
watched her skilled and driven Pinkerton Academy bowling squad enjoy significant
success in matches both
before and after the recent
holiday break.
The academy crew hosted a four-team meet on
Saturday, Dec. 21, at Striker’s
East in Raymond. And the
Astros wound up besting
Goffstown, Raymond, and
Sanborn Regional in enjoying a four-point team day.
The Astro bunch put forth
a two-game standard round
pin total of 1,385 to earn the
top seed for Baker Match
play. Michael Komisarek
rolled games of 114 and 159,
Whitney Leyland scored a
135 and a 108, Andy Stock
notched a 157 and a 111,
David Pierson rolled a 152
and a 156, and anchor bowler
Raina Stobbs scored a modest 119 in game one but
rebounded beautifully in
game two with a stellar score
of 184.
Jordan Caux then joined
the varsity roster for the
Baker Match and helped his
crew beat fourth-seeded
Sanborn in two games, 168-
109 and 158-82.
And the PA contingent
assured itself of all four available team points for the day
by besting second-seeded
Raymond in two games, 12397 and 162-103, in the final
round of the match.
Then on Saturday, Jan. 4,
the Astros competed against

a 190 and a 193, with anchor
standout Stobbs scoring a
172 and a 191.
Caux once again joined
the varsity roster for the
Baker Match and helped
Pinkerton take impressive
wins over second-ranked
Bishop Guertin. The final
scores were 147-120 and
157-125 in the decisive big

Community Center Thrift Shop in Need of Donations
KATHLEEN D. BAILEY
NUTFIELD NEWS
——◆—–––
Men’s dress shirts, including some by Ralph
Lauren, from $3 up. Men’s
Champion ski pants at $6.
Women’s formal wear, from $5
up, for that post-holiday party.
These are some of the
bargains found on a recent
scanning of the racks at the
Marion Gerrish Thrift Shop
at 39 West Broadway in
downtown Derry. While
these items might not stay in
the shop for long, other gently-used merchandise will
take their place - if community members remember to
donate.
The Thrift Shop, the
main source of income for
the Community Center, is
receiving fewer donations
than the norm. Director
Sarah Garvin and shop manager MaryAnn Lombardo
talked about the need last
week, and how donating
“stuff” can open up windows for the community.
Lombardo said she can’t
quantify the shortage in
donations. “I don’t count the
bags,” she said. It’s more of
a general feel, she said,
adding, “Hopefully, people
will start cleaning out their
closets and think of us.”
Lombardo said the shop
is particularly low in the
area of linens: towels,
sheets, curtains, blankets.
Unlike some other thrift
shops, she hasn’t had to beg
for plus-size garments, she
said, adding, “We’re good
on large sizes - but we can
always use coats.”
She welcomes clothing
from infant to plus-size, and
doesn’t worry about the season. “If it’s not the right season, we pack it away and
bring it out later,” she said.
Books and magazines
are welcome, but because of
space issues, she prefers
them to be relatively recent.
Her media center is only 8
feet by 6 feet, she said.
She’s also looking for
toys in good condition, but
specified that they should
not be toys that have been

recalled. Her young patrons
are too valuable for her to
take that chance. “We check
online, and if they’ve been
recalled, we throw them
away,” she said.
The only things Lombardo can’t accept are large
pieces of furniture, but she’s
okay with the small stuff as
long as it’s clean and in good
condition - coffee tables,
end tables, lamps. And she
welcomes small appliances
as long as they’re clean and
working, she said.
“Basically, it’s anything
and everything as long as it’s
clean and works,” Lombardo said.
It’s hard to quantify the
shortage in donations, Garvin agreed, as to how many
bags they’re off or items
they haven’t received. She
does know that they experience a donation “slowdown”
in February, but was sur-
prised to see it in December
of this year. She isn’t sure
why, whether people have
been dropping their unwanted items off at the Salvation
Army or the near-new
Goodwill store on Manchester Road instead. She
thinks instead that it’s a lack
of awareness on the donors’
parts.
“They’re not aware that
the shop is here, they’re not
aware that it gives direct
support to the Community
Center,” she said.
The Center hosts nonprofit organizations including Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts,
the AARP Tax Aid program,
the Derry Community Fund,
and Rotary clubs. It runs
several of its own programs
for seniors and is the host
site for Rockingham County
Meals on Wheels.
Garvin said the shop
income is more than 50 per-
cent of their budget. “It’s our
highest source of revenue we depend on it greatly,” she
said. Other funding sources
are donations from the nonprofit groups that use the
center, more than 160 at last
count, and rentals to forprofit groups and private
parties.
Garvin said the drop in
donations hasn’t made it
necessary to cut staff or
services. “I am hoping we’ll
get the donations in,” she
said. If donations continue
to be slow, she and the board
will consider cutting back
on improvements to the
building. They have recently
made several improvements,
she said, and would hate to
stop now.
Thrift Shop hours are 9
a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays; 9 a.m.
to 7 p.m. Tuesdays through
Fridays; and Saturdays from
10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Chief Jack Webb said, “Ice
safety is always a concern,
particularly when you get a
thaw or rain. Anyone going
on the ice should test it for
thickness, especially in
places near swamps, and in
smaller ponds where there
is constantly moving water.
It is important to have local
knowledge of the ponds
and lakes.”
Webb said the concern
is always present of pets
falling through ice, which
usually means a person will
follow, trying to rescue the
animal.
Webb said people staying warm becomes a major
fety.html.
The state website notes
that while all ice is potentially dangerous, a “rule of
thumb” is “There should be
a minimum of six inches of
hard ice before individual
foot travel, and eight to 10
inches of hard ice for snow
machine or All-Terrain
Vehicle travel.” The website
also notes that thick ice
does not always mean safe
ice: “Weak ice is formed
when warming trends break
down ice, then the slushy
surface re-freezes.”
The website suggests
carrying a set of ice picks,
either in an accessible pocket or around the neck, to
help get out of the water if a
person falls through the ice.
Chief Mike Gagnon said
regarding woodstove safety,
“the biggest things we look
for are making sure the
chimneys are cleaned annually, and that homeowners
are using dry wood. We also
make sure that their stove
flues are connected appropriately and the overall
installation is done properly.”
Derry Fire urges people
to make sure their woodstoves are properly installed.
That means the required
clearance between the stove
and combustible materials,
including floors, walls and
ceilings; placement on a
non-combustible, fire resistant base; and chimney
inspection by a mason or
other trained person. People
should consider opening a
window a crack for ventilation.
Gagnon also noted that
flammable liquids, such as
gasoline, should not be used
to start a fire, and trash
should not be burned in a
woodstove, as it can easily
ignite a chimney fire.
Fire officials remind
residents that portable generators should be placed at
least 10 feet from any structure, with the exhaust facing
away from the building
openings. Generators should
never be run inside any
building, including basement areas and garages, as
deadly levels of carbon
monoxide can build up in
minutes.
