Destination Imagination 

(DI), a competition 

that draws on 

students’ critical thinking 

skills, teamwork and STEM 

(Science, Technology, Engineering 

and Math) skills, 

will see three Londonderry 

teams taking part in the 

Global Competition at the 

University of Tennessee in 

Knoxville on May 22-25. 

Following wins at the 

state competition at Salem 

High School last Saturday, 

team manager Eric Melanson 

and DI board member 

Wayne Kurtzman said the 

Londonderry Middle School 

team managed by Bill 

O’Connor and consisting of 

sixth graders Neil Baran, Jillian 

Fitzgibbons, Jimmy 

Fitzgibbons, Ian Goodspeed, 

Patrick Hagearty, 

Lauren Mullen and Sierra 

Sessa, came in first in the

Planning Board Member Questions 

Conservation Agreement 

JAY HOBSON 


————––––––————–◆ 

One member of the 

planning board expressed 

concern 

with a deal made at a Conservation 

Commission 

meeting over designating 

land for conservation in 

the Hickory Woods over- 

55 development at West 

and Nashua roads. 

At the Wednesday, 

April 3 Planning Board 

meeting, proponents of 

applicant Hickory Woods 

said they had gone before 

the Conservation Commission 

on the project 

because part of it is on 

Conservation Overlay District 

land and they were 

requesting the ability to 

intrude on the land by 

4700 square feet (see 

story page 8).

There will be no more 

banners hung over 

Mammoth Road. 

Banners have been a 

staple at the location 

when people such as 

President Barack Obama 

visited Londonderry and 

during the Old Home Day 

celebration. When the 

Londonderry High School 

Marching Band went to 

the inaugural parades in 

Washington, D.C., ladder 

trucks from the fire 

department hung a large 

American flag. 

“There was something 

that came up over the 

past couple of days here,” 

Town Council chairman 

Jack Szemplinski, an 

engineer with Benchmark 

Engineering, said that 

toward the end of the 

meeting with the Conservation 

Commission, the 

project was offered a 

favorable outcome if 7 

acres were put aside for 

conservation land. Szemplinski 

said Hickory 

Woods plans to put aside 

10.5 acres of land for that 

use at the north end of 

the property. 

Planning board member 

Tom Freda asked if 

the 10.5 acres of land set 

aside for the Conservation 

Commission was in 

the original proposal, and 

Szemplinski said it was 

not. 

"Then at the Conservation 

Commission you were 

requesting to allow 4,700 

John Farrell explained at a 

recent council meeting. 

“There was a banner that 

needed to be hung for 

Beautify Londonderry. 

Basically, what we’ve 

learned about banners 

hung over state roads is 

that they’re prohibited. 

So anyone looking to hang 

a banner in the future 

probably needs to contact 

the town manager, 

who will work with everybody, 

but we won’t be 

hanging them in the usual 

place anymore.” 

Farrell said that with 

that in mind, he asked 

Acting Town Manager 

William Hart to check 

with the fire department 

regarding the wire that 

currently goes over Mam- 

square feet of intrusion 

into the conservation 

overlay district," Freda 

said. 

Szemplinski said that 

adjacent to one of the 

retention ponds, the plan 

was just over the buffer, 

"so we requested a conditional 

use permit to do 

that." 

"Your approval was 

conditioned on your placing 

a conservation restriction 

easement of a 

minimum of 7 acres?" 

Freda asked. 

"That's the way it 

reads. That's what was 

mutually agreed to," 

Szemplinski said. 

"It's mutually agreed 

to give up my wallet if you 

put a gun to my head," 

Freda responded.

“My understanding is 

that it attached to a pole 

that Old Home Day put in, 

and it is tied to a tree 

across the street. Since 

we’re not supposed to 

have anything over there, 

we’d better check into 

that,” Farrell said. 

Hart said he would 

take care of it.

He said friendships are 

forged, as teams don’t 

work against each other - 

each team is trying to 

reach a personal or team

————––––––————–◆ 

On Easter Sunday, 

March, 31, at about 

5:30 p.m., Sarah 

Stewart, 6, who lives at 

131 Winterwood Road 

and attends South School, 

went to a friend and 

neighbor’s porch to get 

some bubbles to play 

with. After retrieving the 

bubbles, she turned and 

tripped over a leash that 

was attached to Oliver, a 

Pit Bull-Labrador retriever 

mix, and fell on him. 

Oliver’s reaction to 

Sarah’s fall was a startled 

bite to her forehead and 

ear that required stitches, 

and also required Oliver 

to make a trip to the 

police station, where he 

has been held in quarantine 

ever since. 

“She went over to 123 

(Winterwood) to get 

some bubbles and she 

tripped on the leash and 

landed on the dog and the 

dog bit her in the forehead 

and side of her face 

by her ear,” said Debbie 

Stewart, Sarah’s mother. 

Stewart said the neighborhood 

is a tight-knit 

community. 

“We’re like family 

here,” she said. “They’ve 

confirmed to us and let us 

all know that he (Oliver) 

is not coming back. Right 

now he’s at the police 

department in quarantine 

and they are trying to find 

a place where they can 

put him and they’re trying 

to see what they can do. 

This won’t affect our 

friendship.” 

Stewart said that if 

Oliver moves to another 

home, that would be 

great. She said her family 

does not want the dog 

euthanized, just not 

returning to the neighbor- 

hood. 

At a recent visit, Sarah 

sat on the couch, her 

bandages off, a pink tray 

across her lap. She was 

coloring with intense concentration. 

Earlier that 

day she had a brief visit 

from her teacher and 

South School principal 

Linda Boyd. 

Across the yard, literally 

steps away at 123 

Winterwood, Lisa Palmieri, 

Oliver’s owner, answered 

her door and stepped 

outside. On the porch 

is a large yellow box. 

“That’s for Oliver,” she 

said, indicating the box, 

noting that when he gets 

out of quarantine he’ll be 

going to another location 

and that’s for him when 

he gets there.” 

Palmieri’s other dog, a 

German Shepherd, was 

inside the house. 

“We took the dogs to

have their shots at the

reason, when they gave 

this dog (indicating the 

shepherd) the shot, it was 

a three-year shot but Oliver 

only received a oneyear 

shot, so now he’s 

been without his immunization,” 

she said. “I

same shot at the same 

time. As a matter of fact 

they were supposed to go 

next week. 

“It was only until this 

happened that we found 

out about it,” Palmieri 

said. 

Palmieri is concerned 

with Sarah’s feelings. 

“Oliver isn’t coming 

back because I don’t want 

her (Sarah) to come out 

and see him or even think 

he’s in the house and 

have that fear - it’s not 

right, it’s not fair to her,” 

she said. “I love kids and

Palmieri said they 

have spoken to a mortgage 

company and are 

considering renting their 

123 Winterwood home 

and buying a house with a

bigger yard so they can 

keep Oliver. 

“It’s a drastic change, 

but he’s worth it,” Palmieri 

said.

Not How to Treat a Library 

April 14-20 is National Library 

Week. What a way to celebrate - the 

Derry Town Administrator’s budget 

message calls for zero funding of 

Taylor Library, whose fate now lies 

in the hands of the Town Council. 

And while it’s easy to shrug off 

the closure of the little library on the 

hill – after all, the much larger Derry 

Public Library downtown could 

absorb the extra patrons – so much 

more than a building would be lost 

forever. 

Pulling money from libraries is 

like picking low-hanging fruit. Justify 

it by saying people don’t read books 

anymore, and you grab the money. 

Maybe in Derry’s case it could be 

used to stock up on chairs and iPads 

for volunteers. 

But last year’s Taylor Library 

funding was only $171,303. That sum 

should be found elsewhere in 

Derry’s budget. 

This isn’t to detract from the 

Derry Public Library – it’s a great 

library in a nice building, albeit with 

minimal parking. It offers many programs 

– so many that sometimes you 

could forget it’s a library, rather than 

a meeting venue. But it’s big, and 

making it bigger will not replace the 

special nature of a small library 

where everyone knows your name. 

No, Taylor Library is something 

else – something special centered in 

Derry’s historic center. 

Serving Derry 

When officials look for budget 

cuts, an equally important effort 

must be made to look at what will be 

lost. We see nothing of that. Taylor 

Library is more than the sum of its 

bricks and books; it’s a place where 

children learn the thrill and power of 

reading, where families find a quiet 

place to be together, where you’re 

not a patron but a friend. That’s hard 

to equate to dollars and cents, but 

its elimination will leave a hole in 

Derry’s history and sense of community. 

Derry is far from the only town to 

hack at a library budget as an easy 

way to balance other departments’ 

expenses. But as times stay tough 

and money stays tight, residents are 

using their libraries more - Taylor 

had 2,906 library cardholders as of 

Dec. 31, 2012. And shuttering a 

library that functions as a community 

center is not a logical cut. 

After 135 years, the Town Administrator 

thinks Taylor’s number 

should be up – and without much 

warning. The trustee chair was notified 

the day before the budget went 

to the council. And the library 

patrons who understand what they 

will lose are nowhere a part of the 

mix. In addition to this being a bad 

budget call, it’s an insult to East 

Derry. 

And it’s up to the residents – and 

Council – to fix the misjudgment.

Voting Record 

To the editor: 

After writing to the 

editor in the Londonderry 

Times in regard to our 

state rep Lisa Whittemore’s 

supporting the gas 

tax increase (HB617), I 

decided to do some more 

research in regard to her 

voting record recently. 

It seems that not only 

does Mrs. Whittemore 

think that we do not pay 

enough money to fuel up 

our vehicles, she decided 

to vote to support an 

increase in tax for home 

heating oil (HB185). This 

fund, which would be 

used to clean up oil spills 

in the event of an emergency, 

has admittedly run 

a surplus for the past two 

years with over $1 million, 

and surplus for the 

past four years. Question 

to Mrs. Whittemore: why 

make your constituents 

pay more, no matter how 

much that may be, to a 

fund that has run a surplus? 

Stand Your Ground bill 

(HB135): Although there 

has never been a problem 

since its adoption, the 

“Stand Your Ground” 

amendment gives the law 

abiding gun owner the 

ability to protect themselves, 

their loved ones 

and anyone who is threatened 

anywhere they are 

legally eligible to be. 

HB135 looks to remove 

this, among other parts, 

basically gutting this bill 

and bringing us back to 

the Castle Doctrine, 

which states in short that 

instead of protecting 

yourself, if there is a clear 

path to exit when threatened 

by any means, you 

should do so. 

I am not sure about 

any of you, but if my life 

or my family’s lives are 

threatened, I am surely 

not going to run and hope 

I don’t get attacked from 

behind. 

In closing I would like 

to say that this year, Mrs. 

Whittemore has voted to 

raise your taxes twice and 

voted to remove your 

right to protect yourself 

and your family, and we 

are only three months in. I 

assume, if you voted for 

Mrs. Whittemore, you 

knew this was what was 

to come. Hopefully you 

don’t like it, like I do not, 

and will work to change 

that.

More on Gas Tax 


Rep. Lisa Whittemore’s 

vote for House Bill 617 

the (gasoline tax) just 

cost Londonderry residents 

another $880,000 a 

year (her figures). 

To justify her vote she 

reminds us that the 

House has the responsibility 

for roads and 

bridges. I’d like to suggest 

to Rep. Whittemore that 

is what the current 

$800,000 we pay is for, 

along with Highway Block 

Grants the town receives 

from the federal government. 

If the State would stop 

looting these so-called 

“Dedicated Funds,” we’d 

be better off. And by the 

way, wasn’t roads and 

bridges the battle cry for 

Obama’s big tax and 

spend program? Remember 

“shovel ready.” 

How many times does 

the taxpayer have to pay 

for the same things? I 

guess Rep. Whittemore 

thinks Londonderry taxpayers 

still have plenty 

left on their credit cards!

Republicans on Charter 

Schools 


While the State Department 

of Education 

seeks a federal waiver so 

it can cover up the 72 percent 

of New Hampshire 

public schools “in need of 

improvement,” House Democrats 

passed a budget 

April 4 that will make it 

harder for students of 

lower-income families to 

escape these failing schools. 

Republicans with the 

House Republican Alliance 

(HRA) offered several 

budget amendments to 

protect educational opportunities 

for children in 

lower-income families, 

but House Democrats 

voted against each one. 

By doing so, House Democrats 

passed a budget 

that will prevent the 

development of any new 

public charter schools 

through July 2015 and will 

eliminate a scholarship 

program that allows students 

of lower-income 

families to leave their failing 

school for a successful 

public or private 

school of their parents’ 

choice. 

“Democrats may have 

a reputation for supporting 

education, but today’s 

vote proves that the only 

thing Democrats really 

support is a government 

monopoly in the education 

system,” said Rep. 

Pam Tucker, co-chairman 

of the House Republican 

Alliance. “Democrats seem 

to care more about their 

special interest union 

friends who profit off the 

monopoly system than 

the lower-income families 

whose children would 

benefit from some competition 

among schools. Democrats 

seem to think 

that only the rich should 

be able to send their children 

to excellent schools, 

but Republicans don’t 

believe an ‘adequate education’ 

is good enough for 

anyone.” 

Last session, Republicans 

increased funding 

for charter schools, which 

are public schools that

use different - and often 

more challenging - educational 

approaches that 

work better for some students 

than the traditional 

school setting. Additionally, 

Republicans passed a 

law that allows New 

Hampshire businesses to 

earn a tax credit of up to 

85 percent when they 

donate the equivalent of 

their tax bill into a scholarship 

program for students 

in lower-income 

families. The scholarships 

allow these students, who 

otherwise would be stuck 

in a failing public school, 

to attend the public or private 

school of their parents’ 

choice or pay for 

home schooling materials. 

Both efforts were designed 

to immediately improve 

educational opportunities 

for some lowerincome 

families and create 

an incentive for public 

administrators to improve 

the academic rigor 

in their schools. 

“The interest in the 

educational tax-credit 

scholarship program 

couldn’t be higher among 

lower-income families who 

want an excellent education 

for their children, 

and not just an adequate 

education,” said Carol 

McGuire, co-chairman of 

the House Republican 

Alliance. “Charter schools 

have provided an alternative 

solution for similar 

parents, but most of the 

existing charter schools 

have waiting lists much 

longer than the number of 

available spots. The demand 

for charter schools 

and other educational opportunities 

couldn’t be 

greater. We should be expanding 

these programs, 

not dismantling them. 

“It seems Democrats 

would prefer to control 

the choices that parents 

make and maintain a status 

quo public education 

in New Hampshire,” Tucker 

added. “Republicans, 

especially those of us in 

the House Republican 

Alliance, believe every 

child deserves an excellent 

education. We urge 

our colleagues in the Senate 

to reject House Democrats’ 

attempt to shut 

down the new educational 

opportunities already 

in place for so many New 

Hampshire families.”

Hampshire House recently 

voted to support the 

first increase in the gas 

tax for more than 20 

years. The next vote will 

be in the New Hampshire 

Senate, which opposes 

investing in our infrastructure 

needs. The fact 

is, right now we have one 

of the lowest gas tax rates 

not only in the region, but 

in the nation (http://stateimpact.npr.org/newhampshire/2011/08/29/isnew-hampshires-gas-taxreally-too-high/). 

The essentials are not 

difficult to understand. All 

money from the gas tax 

increase will go for construction, 

reconstruction 

and maintenance of New 

Hampshire’s roads and 

bridges. Some money will 

pay for our state troopers. 

The money needed to fully 

fund infrastructure repair 

in our state is already over 

a billion dollars. Current 

backlog over $1 billion - 

Page 2: http://www.tripnet.org/docs/NewHampshire_Transportation_by_the_Numbers_Re 

port_Feb_2013.pdf. 


The small increase of 4 

cents for each of the next 

three years is not enough 

to bring everything to 

good condition. But it’s a 

start. Let’s think about 

what happens if we continue 

to ignore this problem. 

In 2008, New Hampshire 

had 21 percent of 

state-owned roads in poor 

condition. In 2013, we 

have 37 percent listed in 

poor condition. If we continue 

to do nothing, we’ll 

have 43 percent in poor 

condition by 2016. That 

will not be good for business 

or jobs. Report on 

Current Road Conditions: 

http://www.tripnet.org/do 

cs/New Hampshire_Transportation_by_the_Numbers_Report_Feb_ 

2013.pdf 

In 2010, we had 15 percent 

of our rural bridges 

structurally deficient. 

Now, 31 percent of our 

bridges are in poor condition. 

With no new funding, 

that percentage is projected 

to hit 46 percent by 

2016. Is this a characteristic 

that will attract new 

businesses and tourists? 

Businesses looking for 

a place to relocate will not 

be happy to see that

Planning Board Gets Update on Exit 5 Gas Station Improvements 

JAY HOBSON 


————––––––————–◆ 

Floyd Hayes of Aranco 

Realty, the property 

owner of the Sunoco 

gas station across the 

street from Poor Boys 

Restaurant and just east 

of Exit 5, and Jeff Merritt 

of Keach-Nordstrom Associates 

provided the planning 

board with conceptual 

designs for what they 

say will be a “complete 

redevelopment” of the 

Sunoco station site. 

At the Wednesday, April 

3 meeting, Merritt said, 

“What we are proposing is 

a complete redevelopment 

of the site where the Sunoco 

station sits and two 

additional parcels that abut 

it that Mr. Hayes owns.” 

Merritt said the site 

currently has a canopy 

with six gas pumps and 

four diesel pumps, along 

with an 1800-square-foot 

convenience store. In the 

back of the store is a drivethrough 

lane where a 

Dunkin’ Donuts was for- 

merly located. 

“Also behind the store 

are several parking stalls 

for semis and between the 

semis and the Exit 5 offramp 

is the new DOT 

(state Department of 

Transportation) detention 

basin for all the work that 

they’re doing on the interstate,” 

Merritt said. 

He said the detention 

basin is on Hayes’ property 

and was taken to facilitate 

the Exit 5 project. 

“The project will entail 

a consolidation of all three 

parcels, which will merge 

the two undeveloped 

parcels with the parcel 

that has the Sunoco station 

on it,” Merritt said, 

noting the total combined 

area will be about 9.2 

acres. 

Merritt said they would 

then propose keeping the 

six gasoline fuel stations, 

the canopy and the four 

diesel pumps, and expanding 

the 1800-squarefoot 

facility into a 15,000square-foot 

travel center.

– PROVIDER ON CALL – 

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is 

a chronic condition that affects millions of children 

and often persists into adulthood. Problems associated 

with ADHD include inattention and hyperactive, 

impulsive behavior. Children with ADHD may struggle 

with low self-esteem, troubled relationships and 

poor performance in school. ADHD has been called 

attention-deficit disorder (ADD) and hyperactivity. 

But ADHD is the preferred term because it describes 

both primary aspects of the condition; inattention 

and hyperactive-impulsive behavior. 

While many children who have ADHD tend more 

toward one category than the other, most children 

have some combination of inattention and hyperactive-impulsive 

behavior. Signs and symptoms of 

ADHD become more apparent during activities that 

require focused mental effort. In most children diagnosed 

with ADHD, signs and symptoms appear 

before the age of 7. In some children, signs of ADHD 

are noticeable as early as infancy. 

You may suspect your child's behavior is caused by 

ADHD if you notice consistently inattentive or hyperactive, 

impulsive behavior that lasts more than six 

months; occurs in more than just one setting (typically 

at home and at school); regularly disrupts school, 

play and other daily activities and/or causes problems 

in relationships with adults and other children 

Most healthy children are inattentive, hyperactive or 

impulsive at one time or another. For instance, parents 

may worry that a 3-year-old who can't listen to 

a story from beginning to end may have ADHD. But 

preschoolers normally have a short attention span 

and aren't able to stick with one activity for long. 

Even in older children and adolescents, attention 

span often depends on the level of interest. The same 

is true of hyperactivity.Young children are naturally 

energetic. They may become even more active when 

they're tired, hungry, anxious or in a new environment. 

Some children just naturally have a higher 

activity level than do others. Children should never 

CHILDHOOD ADHD 

“The whole point of 

this redevelopment is to 

go from a small truck stop 

and gas station to an 

attractive travel center or 

travel plaza,” Merritt said. 

Merritt said the 15,000square-foot 

facility would 

likely contain about 3,000 

square feet dedicated for 

convenience store use, 

and another 3,000 square 

feet for “some sort of food 

services, including retaining 

the drive-through pattern 

that exits today. That 

would leave about 9,000 

square feet for one or 

more retail uses that 

would complement the 

travel plaza.” 

The proposed building 

is L-shaped to separate 

truck traffic from passenger 

cars that come to the 

site. “The vast majority of 

the traffic enters from the 

slip-in lane that comes in 

from the highway. The 

diesel trucks would then 

proceed to the rear of the 

site,” Merritt said. 

Merritt noted that a 

be classified as having ADHD just because they're different 

from their friends or siblings. 

Parents may blame themselves when a child is diagnosed 

with ADHD, but researchers increasingly believe that 

causes have more to do with inherited traits than parenting 

choices. While treatment won't cure ADHD, it can 

help a great deal with symptoms. If your child has disruptive 

behaviors you think may be signs of ADHD, such as 

trouble concentrating, sitting still or controlling his or her 

behavior, see your doctor. Your doctor may refer you to 

a specialist, but it's important to have a medical evaluation 

first.

New Hampshire, I have treated new borns to individuals

signal light is scheduled to 

be put in by DOT at Liberty 

Drive, and the diesel 

trucks will use it to leave 

the property while passenger 

cars would leave by 

the same entrance they 

came in. 

“One thing this plan 

will do is to prevent truck 

traffic from using the 

unsignalized exit that cars 

use,” Merritt said. 

Board member Mary 

Wing Soares asked how 

many trucks park there and 

Hayes said, “Too many.” 

The count, he said, was 

about 17. Soares said the 

plan sounds good to her. 

Board member Chris 

Davies said the location is 

currently very dangerous 

to get out of and recommended 

a right turn only 

where cars exit. 

Town Planner Cynthia 

May suggested, as they 

need 100 parking spaces, 

that a cutout in the back 

could be constructed for 

future parking. Merritt 

said that would be something 

they would be happy 

to look at. 

Board member Lynn 

Wiles said he had the same 

concern with the left-hand 

Jed Sweetman is more 

secretive, only saying that 

he “would be doing something 

while reciting poetry.” 

Keegan Smith said he 

will be playing “many musical 

instruments while 

singing a song.” 

Most of the young men 

are keeping quiet about 

their performances while 

looking forward to the 

event. 

“It’s really kind of 

exciting, and everything 

we do is for the fun of it 

and to raise money for the 

Lancer Spirit. It’s all in 

good fun,” Smith said. 

Scoring will be done in 

four areas - cat walk, 

turn situation but added he 

liked the plan. 

Board member Laura 

El-Azem agreed and asked 

what might go into the 

9,000-square-foot section. 

Hayes said a small business 

like a Sunglass Hut. 

Hayes said the concept 

of a travel center is for 

convenience and if cars 

had to stack behind trucks 

at the signal, it could affect 

whether travelers would 

come back. 

The board consensus 

was that it was a good 

plan and a much needed 

improvement.

Dog Owner Searches for Pet Lost in Musquash Area

Penny Webster was

conservation 

area on Wednesday, April 

3, after walking with her 

two dogs, but when she 

turned around, one of the

Londonderry High 

School students will 

be able to enroll in a 

half-credit elective class 

to be held after school, 

called “Virtual Sky.” The 

class lasts for half a year. 

Assistant Superintendent 

Andy Corey outlined 

the proposed class to the 

school board at its April 2 

meeting. 

The class will be 

offered at the Manchester- 

Boston Regional Airport’s 

Aviation Museum. 

“Discussions began 

just over a year ago with 

Jack Ferns, who is director 

of the museum, and in the 

fall of 2012, the program 

was piloted with five Manchester 

students,” Corey 

said. He said that program 

has been successful, with 

three students completing 

dogs to find a missing pet,” 

Webster said. 

Webster said Mike Connors 

of Elite Lost Pet traveled 

from Maine with two 

dogs, Mason, a boxerhound 

mix, and Bella, a 

Labrador retriever, and 

Webster provided a collar 

and harness to give the 

tracking dogs Suzie’s 

scent. 

“It was amazing. They 

started sniffing and tracking 

right away and they followed 

the trail we had 

been walking on and 

entered and left the same 

trails where we were last 

Wednesday,” she said. 

Mason tracked Suzie’s 

scent through the Musquash 

and into the neighborhood 

along Faucher 

Road. Bella tracked Suzie 

down Kimball Road and up 

the program, one graduating 

early and one dropping 

out. 

‘The course itself is 

based on core competencies 

and is based on eight 

units: the evolution of 

flight, the physics of flight, 

tools of navigation, determining 

a flight plan, how 

does a radio work, weather 

charts, weather statistics 

and airport design and 

operation,” Corey said. 

The instructor is Peder 

Halverson, an aircraft 

maintenance technician 

who is licensed as an airplane 

and power plant 

operator. “He is a pilot of 

commercial planes and he 

happens to also hold a 

Master’s in English and is 

certified as a teacher in 

grades seven to 12,” Corey 

told the board. “During his 

career he worked for Boeing 

Aircraft and authored 

their training courses, he 

Suzie 

to North Wentworth Avenue. 

“Mason and Bella were 

sniffing the air as well as 

the ground and followed 

the scent down Faucher 

Road, eventually getting 

onto Harvey Road and following 

it to North Wentworth 

Avenue, where Bella 

sat down.” 

Connors told Webster

Students Offered Off-Campus ‘Virtual Sky’ Class 

is director of airport maintenance, 

has been an assistant 

professor of aeronautics 

and he lives in Washington, 

N.H. and makes the 

over one hour commute to 

teach the class three times 

per week.” 

Corey said there is no 

cost, as the program is 100 

percent grant funded by 

the Aviation Museum. It is 

offered Mondays, Wednesdays 

and Fridays from 3:30 

to 5 p.m. Students must 

arrange their own transportation. 

“I see this as a very 

unique elective but one 

where we will have a group 

of students that will be 

interested in it. It’s a program 

that I know the Museum 

is looking to expand 

upon in the future,” Corey 

said. 

Corey said the Museum 

is looking at community 

colleges to see if they 

that location is probably 

where someone picked up 

Suzie. By sitting down, 

Bella indicated she had 

lost the scent. 

Webster said a man 

from Divine Linen Rentals 

said he tried to pick up 

Suzie. His sighting confirmed 

that Mason and 

Bella were right, and that 

was great news, she said. 

“I’m very hopeful that 

instead of being cold and 

alone out on the 

Musquash, that Suzie has 

been picked up and is 

warm somewhere until we 

can find her,” Webster said. 

Webster said she has 

put up about 50 posters 

around the area of North 

Wentworth Avenue, with 

the hope that if any commuters 

picked up Suzie, 

they will contact her. 

would be interested in 

offering the program for 

credit. 

“I think this goes along 

well with our college and 

career ready goals, as well 

as increasing instructional 

time beyond the normal 

school day,” Corey added, 

noting Manchester already 

has 10 students signed up 

for the course, which 

would be offered in the fall 

of 2013. 

Board member John 

Laferriere asked if there is 

a cap on how many students 

could take the 

course and Corey said that 

had not been discussed. 

“I’m thinking of a typical 

class size somewhere 

around 20,” Corey said. 

The motion to accept 

the course offering was 

made by Steve Young and 

seconded by John Laferriere, 

and was approved 

unanimously.

He was a minister at Carrboro Baptist Church in 

North Carolina for several years. He moved to Denver, 

Colo., in the ‘90s and was self-employed as a handyman. 

Returning to North Carolina in 2000, he continued 

using his handyman skills and met his wife, Vicki, at 

HillSong Church in Chapel Hill, N.C. In June of 2001, he 

became the operations manager for Joshua Station and 

supervised the reconstruction of a former motel into 

Mile High Ministry’s vision of a transformational housing 

facility for homeless families. He loved his job as a 

family advocate and operations manager, and was a

Waivers Granted for Hickory Woods Over-55 Housing 

JAY HOBSON 


————––––––————–◆ 

Hickory Woods, a 

proposed 98 unit, 

age 55-plus restricted 

condominium project in 

the area of West and Nashua 

roads (Route 102), has 

received 18 waivers from 

the planning board, all needed 

for it to obtain a conditional 

use permit and initial 

approval by the board. 

The waiver requests 

were recommended by 

staff to be granted as conditions 

that had been met 

by site plan amendments. 

Roads are private, speed 

limits are slow enough to 

be amenable to waiver, 

and two of the waivers 

were from impact fees that 

the Town Council has discontinued 

until the current 

court-ordered audit of the 

town's impact fee practices 

has been completed. 

Jack Szemplinski of 

Benchmark Engineering 

requested that the property, 

which is in two sections, 

be allowed to join 

as one, and that request 

was granted as well. 

Szemplinski outlined 

to the board at its 

Wednesday, April 3 meeting 

what the finished project 

would look like - 

homes encircling a preexisting 

cell tower, a serpentine 

roadway that at 

one point is 50 feet from 

abutters' back yards, and 

a smaller road that ends 

in a cul-de-sac. 

Attorney Morgan Hollis 

of Gottesman and Hollis 

said the project will be 

completed in six phases, 

traffic studies have been 

completed and reviewed, 

water will be provided 

from Hudson and utilities 

will be gas or propane. 

Town Planner Cynthia 

May said a couple of issues 

regarding landscaping remain, 

in particular landscaping 

in the buffer zone 

between the property and 

abutting lots. 

She said the landscaping 

was inadequate to prevent 

extraneous light from 

vehicles on the roadway 

within the property from 

affecting abutters on 

Priscilla Lane. 

"The buffering that 

they've done to adjacent 

lots is inadequate and 

neighbors, specifically, Mr. 

(Scott) Christenson and his 

next door neighbor, could 

be impacted by lights on 

cars traveling in each direction 

on Quarry Road (proposed 

on the site plan). 

Our recommendation was 

to put landscaping in that 

location," May said. 

Priscilla Lane abutters 

James DiBurro and Scott 

Christenson also voiced 

concerns at the meeting 

about vehicle headlights 

shining on their homes 

and about the proximity 

of the road to their back 

yards and their children 

who play there. 

Szemplinski and Hollis 

said the issues would be 

addressed. 

May said the applicant 

has gone before the Heritage 

Commission, which 

asked about the location of 

stone walls and whether 

the walls would be disturbed 

and if so, how they 

would be reconstructed. 

May also said the 

applicant plans to make 

improvements to the Conservation 

Overlay District 

(COD) and went before 

the Conservation Commission, 

which requested 

the applicant allow 4700 

square feet of the property 

as a drainage outlet. 

She said the Conservation 

Commission also recommended 

approval of 

the COD permit on condition 

that the applicant 

include a conservation 

restriction on the plan and 

Loose Denture?

the condominium documents 

designate approximately 

7 acres in the 

northern part of the property 

as such. May said the 

applicant has set apart 

10.5 acres in that location 

(see related story page 1). 

Board member Laura 

El-Azem asked if the roads 

had been widened as the 

fire department had requested 

in order to accommodate 

their trucks, 

and May said they had. 

Board member Lynn 

Wiles expressed concern 

that what are listed as private 

roads now may in 

time be requested to be 

public roads, and asked 

how many private to public 

road changes had taken 

place. Board Chairman Art 

Rugg said it happened 

once at town meeting in 

the '70s but with the current 

form of government 

utilizing a Town Council, it 

would be difficult for that 

to happen again. 

Szemplinski said the 

development was intended 

to be self contained and 

that the roads were intended 

to remain private. 

Board member Mary 

Wing Soares asked about 

where the town stood on 

how many over-55 communities 

it had and if there 

was a limit on the number 

allowed. May said the town 

was way below the limit. 

"I guess I have a little 

problem with it being called 

'elderly' at 55 and not having 

any sidewalks for the elderly 

people that are going to 

be walking around the subdivision," 

Soares said. 

Board member John 

Laferriere said the sidewalk 

issue should be looked at 

when putting in these kinds 

of communities. 

"I keep looking at the 

entrance on Route 102 

and I keep asking myself 

why it's there," Laferriere 

said, noting it didn't make 

sense having an entrance 

on West Road and an 

entrance on Route 102. He 

said the entrance should 

be on West Road, with a 

fire access on Route 102. 

Laferriere also asked 

about lighting. 

Szemplinski responded 

that there will be post 

lighting in front of each 

house next to the street, 

and low level lighting at 

the clubhouse. "There will 

be no street lights," Szemplinski 

said. 

May said the post 

lights at the end of each 

driveway would throw 

less of a circle of light 

than streetlights, and 

noted there is no requirement 

to provide lighting. 

Resident Martin Srugis 

asked if hydrants would be 

on the property, and was 

told that they would be. 

Newly appointed member 

Al Sypek asked if the 

pumping station that will be 

used to provide water would 

have emergency power; 

Szemplinski said it would. 

Soares made a motion 

that was seconded by 

Wiles to grant the waiver 

requests, which passed 

unanimously. 

A motion to grant the 

conditional use permit, 

made by Soares and seconded 

by Wiles, passed 8- 

1, with Tom Freda the dissenting 

vote. 

The board also unanimously 

approved a motion 

to accept initial approval 

of the plan. 

Tired of your denture not 

fitting right? 

Do the teeth stick out or does it have no 

suction? You went to one of those big 

chain dental offices and they put you in a 

one size fits all set of teeth. The problem 

is your mouth is one-of-a-kind! Come see 

the difference at my office. I'll listen to 

you, give you an honest take and present 

a list of options that you can choose 

from. Making my patients perfect fit 

dentures is my passion!

Londonderry Middle 

School Principal Richard 

Zacchilli went 

before the School Board 

to report that the eighth 

grade class will be embarking 

on the school's 

15th annual trip to Washington, 

D.C. 

Students will leave 

Tuesday, April 16, at 5:30 

a.m., and are expected to 

return at 10 p.m. Friday, 

April 19, Zacchilli said. 

Four buses will leave 

from LMS and three from 

LHS. Zacchilli said local 

churches will be providing 

bag breakfasts for all 

students and chaperones 

to take with them on the 

bus. 

Zacchilli said the trip 

will make its first stop in 

Philadelphia, Penn., with 

stops at Freedom Hall, the 

Liberty Bell and Congress 

Hall among other sites, 

before heading on to 

Washington. 

"We will be taking 300 

students and 35 chaperones 

that include teachers, 

three nurses, guidance 

counselors, administration 

and a few parent 

volunteers. The parent 

volunteers include two 

EMTs (emergency medical 

technicians) from the 

Londonderry Fire Department," 

Zacchilli said. 

Zacchilli said there are 

currently 356 eighth 

graders at the middle 

school, and the students 

attending the trip represent 

84 percent of the 

class. 

"Students that are 

remaining back will do 

Washington, D.C.-related 

projects," he said. "The 

students that are not 

going on the trip are not 

going because they do not 

wish to go but are not 

going because they do not 

meet behavioral or academic 

standards. All students 

that asked for financial 

aid received financial 

aid," Zacchilli said. 

Zacchilli said the scholarships 

came from fundraisers, 

donations and 

other sources of private 

funding. 

"Approximately 38 students 

have scholarships - 

approximately $13,000, 

for an average of $350 per 

person, based on need 

and situation. This is a little 

less than last year, as 

we have fewer students 

this year in the eighth 

grade," Zacchilli said. 

According to Zacchilli 

the cost of the trip is 

$665, which is $4 less than 

last year and includes 

transportation, guides, 

lodging, meals, and 

admissions. 

"We will post on the 

middle school principal 

web page throughout the 

day during the trip to let 

parents know when we 

arrive and when we 

return, and we will have 

radio updates through 

WLLO on a daily basis. It's 

a pretty tight schedule 

and we're looking forward 

to another great trip," 

Zacchilli said. 

Board member Leitha 

Reilly asked if sequestration 

affected the trip and 

Zacchilli said it did not. 

They have heard that the 

White House tours that 

had been stopped due to 

sequestration have been 

resumed, but the students 

had not planned on 

going inside the White 

House anyway. 

In other business at 

the April 2 school board 

meeting: 

• Londonderry High 

School Principal Jason 

Parent outlined upcoming 

senior activities. 

"Although it doesn't 

seem like spring outside, 

our seniors are very 

excited about the senior 

activities that are planned," 

Parent said.

South School To Present ‘Cinderella’ This Week 

JAY HOBSON 


————––––––————–◆ 

About 75 fourth and 

fifth graders have 

been meeting every 

Tuesday to rehearse from 

3:30 to 5 p.m. for the 

South Elementary School 

production of “Cinderella,” 

and the production 

now takes the stage with a 

matinee on Thursday, 

April 11, at 1:30 p.m. and 

evening performances at 

7 p.m. April 11 and again 

on Friday, April 12. A matinee 

was staged Wednesday, 

April 10, as well. 

Director Deanna Poulin 

said there is no admission 

charge but donations 

are accepted, and a bake 

sale will be held during 

intermission. 

“The kids made most 

of the set decorations and 

there are actually two Cinderellas 

in the play. One 

Cinderella, the one before 

the ball, is played by Erin 

Batchelor, 11, and the Cinderella 

at the ball is 

played by Ashley Greenwood, 

11. The Prince is 

played by Tyler Kayo, 

also 11,” Poulin said. The 

role of Cinderella is double 

cast to give more students 

a chance to perform. 

“It’s not a musical, it’s 

simply a play, although 

there is dancing,” Poulin 

added. “The kids do it all.” 

“It’s really a great experience. 

I get to be a princess 

that my little sister loves. 

She’s 3 and she loves Cinderella,” 

Ashley said. 

“I love Drama Club 

because it’s really interesting 

and you get to 

meet a lot of people that 

have the same interest as 

you do,” Erin said. 

“It’s (Drama Club) fun 

and like Ashley said, it’s a 

great experience to act, 

and it makes you decide if 

you want to do it in Middle 

School or not,” Tyler 

said. Tyler said that 

although he likes acting 

and would like to continue, 

he also likes to play 

sports and doesn’t think 

he’ll continue acting in 

middle school. 

Erin agrees. “I like 

sports too and I don’t 

know if I’ll be doing 

Drama Club in middle 

school,” she said. 

But Ashley has plans 

to continue acting, maybe 

even beyond middle 

school. 

All three young actors 

were also the leads in last 

year’s production of “Peter 

Pan.” 

Erin, Ashley and Tyler 

agree that it is “pretty 

easy” to learn their lines. 

“If you put the effort 

and time into it, it makes a 

big difference,” Ashley 

Carnival Volunteers Members of Londonderry Boy Scout Troop

Rotarians, Realtors Host Comedy Night 

JAY HOBSON 


————––––––————–◆ 

According to Caron 

Renik, president of 

the Londonderry 

Rotary and chief executive 

officer of the Granite State 

South Board of Realtors, a 

new collaboration has 

been created between the 

two organizations to benefit 

veterans’ charities. 

Renik said the Realty 

board, based in Londonderry, 

is now working 

with the Londonderry 

Rotary Club to make a difference 

not only in town, 

but in the state and region 

as well, creating greater 

visibility for how Realtors 

and Rotarians are giving 

back to their communities. 

The collaboration is 

holding a comedy night 

featuring Tony Pace, a Las 

Vegas performer, to raise 

money to be donated to 

Liberty House, Vet to Vet 

programs, Homes for Our 

Troops, and a barbecue to 

honor servicemen and 

servicewomen, Renik said. 

The collaboration hopes 

to raise $10,000 from the 

event, which will be held at 

the Yard Restaurant in Manchester 

on April 26. The 

doors open at 7 p.m. and 

the show starts at 8 p.m. 

Tickets can be purchased 

at www.gssbr.org 

and clicking on the link to 

purchase tickets on the 

homepage. A 50/50 raffle 

and five live auction items 

are also featured 

“The presentation to 

the charities will be at a 

barbecue on June 1 at the 

Londonderry Lions Club,” 

Renik said.

LHS Softball Rebounds From Deficit and Wins Opener 

CHRIS PANTAZIS 


————––––––————–◆ 

Coach Wayne Mac- 

Dougall saw his Londonderry 

High softball 

team spot the host 

Manchester Memorial 

Lady Crusaders a 3-0 lead 

and then rebound beautifully 

to collect a pleasing, 

11-4 victory over that 

opponent in the Queen 

City this past Monday, 

April 8. 

It was the 2013 seasonopening 

contest for both 

contingents, and a memorable 

one for the Lady 

Lancers, who thumped 

out a baker’s dozen of 13 

hits in posting the comeback 

victory. 

While not overpowering, 

LHS pitcher Leah 

Hunt went the distance, 

striking out eight batters 

and allowing eight hits 

while walking four. 

“We’re not going to get 

great pitching this year, 

so we’ve got to play good 

defense and we need to 

be able to score runs. And 

we were able to do that 

today after they took the 

early lead,” said coach

player Taylor Wood 

thumps the first home 

run of her team’s season 

during its 11-4 defeat of 

Manchester Memorial in 

the Queen City this past 

Monday. 

MacDougall. 

Hunt helped her own 

cause by thumping out 

three hits after making 

outs in her first two trips 

to the plate. And all but 

one of the Lady Lancers’ 

starters smacked at least 

one hit. 

Brooke Tulley and 

Julie Hamilton each collected 

two safeties in 

helping the LHS side to 

the win. 

But there wasn’t any 

joy in the Londonderry 

dugout after the first 

inning had been completed, 

as the host Lady Crusaders 

touched up LHS 

hurler Hunt for those 

three runs on three hits 

and one Londonderry 

error. 

The Lady Lancers got 

one of those markers 

back in the top half of the 

second inning when Shannon 

Crowley whacked a 

double and then scored 

on an error. But Memorial 

got that run back in the 

latter half of the frame to 

make it a 4-1 contest. 

However, Londonderry

runs during the 

rest of the game, notching

more in the fourth, and a

decisive top half of the 

fifth. 

In the top of the 

fourth, Taylor Wood 

pounded a long home run 

to left-center field to make 

it a 4-3 game, and the 

locals scored twice more 

in that frame to collect 

the lead for good and all. 

Londonderry built 

upon its lead with that sixrun 

fifth that featured four 

hits and another Memorial 

error. 

One big shot in that 

vital frame came in the 

form of a pinch-hit, tworun 

single off the bat of 

Melissa Sprague. 

“Taylor’s home run 

was a real shot, and I 

think that got us going,” 

said coach MacDougall. 

“And the two-run, twostrike 

pinch hit by Melissa 

was huge.”

Lady Lancer Racketeers Sting First Opponents 



————––––––————–◆ 

Londonderry High girls’ 

tennis coach Tom 

Meighan had a great 

many things to be pleased 

with last week as his Lady 

Lancers began their new 

campaign in virtually 

untouchable fashion. 

The LHS team handed 

both the Manchester Memorial 

High Lady Crusaders 

and the Spaulding High 

Lady Red Raiders of 

Rochester humbling, 9-0 

defeats on the local contingent’s 

home courts. 

Meighan’s mob mauled 

Manchester Memorial on 

Thursday, April 4 - after a 

weather-induced postponement 

several days 

earlier that came about 

mere minutes before the 

match was to begin - with 

singles stalwarts Cassie 

Burbine (8-0 score), Amanda 

DePasquale (8-2), 

Kyleigh McMullen (8-5), 

Marrisa Beaton (8-0), 

Nicole LaMalva (8-0), and 

Emily Parrott (8-0) all bagging 

decisive wins. 

And the Lady Lancers 

completed the romp with 

doubles wins from the 

tandems of Burbine and 

DePasquale (8-1), Ana Milosavljevic 

and McMullen 

(8-3), and LaMalva and 

Parrott (8-3). 

It was much more of 

the same for the Londonderry 

crew the next afternoon 

at home against 

Spaulding. 

Singles victories were 

claimed by Burbine (8-0), 

DePasquale (8-0), Milosavljevic 

(8-4), McMullen 

(8-0), Beaton (8-4), and 

LaMalva (9-7). The locals 

assured themselves of another 

shutout in their second 

win of the spring, 

thanks to the work of the 

doubles teams of Burbine 

and DePasquale (8-0), 

Milosavljevic and Mc- 

Mullen (8-1), and Parrott 

and Beaton (8-6). 

The LHS squad then 

took to the road for its 

first away match of the 

campaign in the state capital 

Monday, April 8. 

And the Lady Lancers 

drove their season record 

up to a perfect 3-0 with a 

6-3 defeat of the host 

Crimson Tide. 

Singles victories came 

from Burbine (8-1), De- 

Pasquale (8-0), Milosavljevic 

(8-0), and Beaton (8-2) 

as the Lady Lancers went 

into doubles action leading 

4-2. 

And the resounding 

doubles victories of the 

tandems of Burbine and 

DePasquale (8-1) and 

Milosavljevic and Parrott 

(8-0) gained the visiting 

side its match win. 

Concord’s three victories 

in the match were all 

extremely tight, 9-7 decisions.



————––––––————–◆ 

The void into which 

new Londonderry 

High girls’ lacrosse 

coach Mike Boyle steps is 

a sizeable one. But as 

ever, there are quite a few 

reasons for LHS lax fans 

to expect excitement and 

success on the field this 

spring. 

After many successful 

seasons and a bunch of 

state titles, veteran LHS 

coach Bob Slater stepped 

aside following the 2012 

campaign and made way

There’s Lots New About 2013 LHS Boys’ Volleyball Crew 

With just four varsity 

players - and 

only one starter - 

back for the 2013 campaign, 


boys’ volleyball coach 

Dave Starin will be working 

diligently to blend a 

slew of newcomers into 

his squad’s mix this 

spring. 

The 2012 Lancers managed 

a 9-8 record and a 

seventh-place finish in 

their division. But their 

quest for a 2012 championship 

ended with a quarterfinal-round 

tournament 

defeat. 

Senior outside hitter 

Keegan Smith - a former 

LHS baseball player - is 

the only Lancer starter 

back in the fold. 

The other varsity returnees 

include seniors 

Ian Perry (setter) and 

Jack Perry (outside hitter) 

and junior Nick Winn 

(middle hitter). 

But the senior-heavy 

list of promising newcomers 

includes 12th graders 

Lionel Gendron (MH), Taylor 

Simpson (MH), Mason 

White (OH), Will Driscoll 

(opposite), Ryan Driscoll 

(setter), Jonathan Hoffman 

(defensive specialist), 

and Isaiah Jenkins 

(DS), and sophomore Spenser 

Flood (setter). 

When asked what his 

team’s keys to a successful 

season are, coach 

Starin said, “Being aggressive 

on offense and scrappy 

on defense, and winning 

the serve-receive 

battle.”

LHS Boys’ Tennis Starts Season with Two Wins, One Loss 



————––––––————–◆ 

The defending Division 

I champion 


boys’ tennis team is making 

steps toward a successful 

defense of its 2012 

crown. 

Coach Bill Knee’s 

charges brought the 

proverbial hammer down 

on the Manchester Memorial 

Crusaders and the 

Spaulding Red Raiders of 

Rochester in their first 

two official matches of 

the 2013 campaign last 

week. Londonderry collected 

9-0 victories in 

both of those battles. 

In the Tuesday, April 2 

Londonderry High tennis standout Tim Court has 

yet to lose in singles this season, but his team was 

felled by Concord early this week.

Integrity & 

Attention to 

Detail”

blanking of Memorial on 

their home courts, the 

Lancers received singles 

victories from Harrison 

Max (8-3 score), Tim 

Court (8-2), Matt McKinney 

(8-5), Ryan Broderick 

(8-1), Mike Paquette (8-1), 

and Nick Beaton (8-1). 

They put the final 

touches on the shutout 

with doubles wins from 

the duos of Max and Mc- 

Kinney (8-2), Court and 

Paquette (8-1), and Broderick 

and Beaton (8-3). 

Coach Knee’s crew 

then took the lengthy bus 

ride to Rochester last Fri- 

day, April 5, to face off 

against the Spaulding Red 

Raiders on their home 

courts. And the Londonderry 

bunch made the 

long ride home feeling celebratory 

after its 9-0 

whitewashing of its host. 

None of the Lancers’ 

singles or doubles contests 

were particularly 

challenging, as lopsided 

singles wins came from 

Max (8-0), Court (8-0), 

McKinney (8-1), Broderick 

(8-0), Paquette (8-1), and 

Beaton (8-0). 

Wins of 8-0 came from 

the tandems of Max and 

Climbing To the Top Londonderry 7-yearold 

Hailey Sibley competed in her first Level 4 title 

competition at the New Hampshire Gymnastics 

Championships at Pinkerton Academy in Derry 

last weekend. The young standout grabbed a third 

place on the uneven bars and several eighth place 

finishes as well. Courtesy photo 

McKinney and Court and 

Paquette, and Broderick 

and Beaton were good for 

an 8-2 victory as Londonderry 

moved to 2-0 on the 

young season. 

But the team hopes of 

another undefeated campaign 

collapsed beneath 

the weight of a tough, 5-4 

loss Monday at the hands 

of the Crimson Tide. And 

the tight victory made the 

Concord squad’s season 

record a glittering 4-0. 

The hosts received 

singles wins from Court 

(8-1), McKinney (8-3), and 

Broderick (8-1), but the 

match score was knotted 

up at 3-3 rolling into doubles 

play. 

The capital city contingent 

collected 8-5 victories 

in first and third 

doubles to claim the 

match win. The tandem of 

Court and Paquette claimed 

an 8-0 whitewashing at 

two doubles for the 2-1 

Lancers’ fourth victory of 

the day.

Helen Martin is a survivor, 

having survived 

breast cancer 

for seven years. She is 

also a hairdresser and 

knows how important 

appearance is to a woman 

cancer patient. 

This week she was presented 

with an award 

from the New England 

Division of the American 

Cancer Society that recognizes 

her volunteering 

her time and energy to 

teach female cancer 

patients how to look and 

therefore feel better. 

“When you look good, 

your outlook is more positive 

and you can face 

what you are dealing with 

without feeling that you 

are somehow broken. 

When a woman doesn’t 

have to face her hair 

falling out because of the 

chemo treatments alone 

and she looks good, then 

she can put those energies 

into getting better,” 

Martin said. 

“I’ve been doing this 

probably since 2001,” she 

said, explaining that she 

went along to help a 

friend teach the class and 

the friend backed off, 

while she stayed. 

Her “Look Good Feel 

Better” class is held at the 

Elliot Hospital in Manchester, 

where she teaches 

a dozen or so women 

cancer patients how to 

look good in spite of their 

disease or how they may 

feel inside.

• Gravel • Fill 

OVER 30 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, 

FULLY INSURED • SHORT TERM 

FINANCING AVAILABLE 

“The woman who 

brought us to the program 

has since died of 

cancer and last year they 

asked me to do it,” Martin 

said. 

She said the Elliot sets 

up the classes, and she 

has committed to be 

available to teach them. 

Martin said a lot of 

what she does is teach 

women how to give the 

illusion of eyebrows and 

lashes when chemotherapy 

has caused them to fall 

out. 

“I tell the women, 

‘look, after the second 

treatment of chemo, your 

hair is going to fall out. 

Don’t wait until it appears 

on your pillow or in the 

brush. Come to me and I 

will shave it off. That way

Emergency Communications Event Set 

JAY HOBSON

ALERT - A Londonderry 

Emergency 

Response Team - 

will present a program on 

communications in emergency 

situations at the 

police department community 

room at 268A 

Mammoth Road on 

Wednesday, April 17 from 

7 to 9 p.m. 

ALERT member Chris 

Oliverio said the program 

will include such topics 

as mobile communication, 

amateur radio (Ham), 

Banner 


Resident Reed Clark 

asked if the pole they put 

in was illegal. 

“We’re told by the 

state DOT (Department of 

Transportation) that they 

will not assume any liabil- 

and what residents can 

do in emergency situations 

when it comes to 

communications. 

“Sometimes in strong 

storms or other major 

events, cell (phone) communication 

is either interrupted 

if the tower gets 

damaged or there are so 

many people trying to use 

cell phones that the system 

gets overloaded,” 

Oliverio said. 

Oliverio said the 

ALERT mobile communications 

trailer will be on 

site for people to check 

out. 

“This isn’t a class for 

gaining a Ham radio 

license, which is needed 

to use Amateur Radio. 

However, it will give people 

an introduction to it 

and allow people to see 

and touch a Ham radio,” 

Oliverio said.

ity for anything hung over 

a state road,” Farrell said. 

“So banners are not 

allowed to be hung over 

their state roads. The 

town can assume the liability, 

(but) we have been 

advised that most insurance 

carriers of most 

other towns will not 

assume that kind of liability, 

and we’re pretty sure 

we’re going to get the 

same answer from our 

insurance carrier. 

“So the answer is no 

more banners over Mammoth 

Road,” he concluded. 

you take control of the 

hair loss and the hair loss 

doesn’t take control of 

you,” Martin said. 

Martin has a salon in 

her basement at home, 

where she’s been serving 

her paying customers for 

15 years. She does not 

charge cancer patients. 

“It is just the two of us 

in my salon and the 

woman doesn’t have to 

fear anyone else being 

around and others looking 

at her having her head 

shaved. It’s private and 

she is able to take control,” 

Martin said. 

Martin said the 

women she teaches realize 

early on that once she 

can show them that cancer 

doesn’t have to make 

them look less beautiful, 

they can apply the same 

techniques at home. 

She is now a certified 

volunteer and has to be 

recertified annually. 

“It is a commitment,” 

Martin said. “But it is also 

personally rewarding to 

see these women who 

come in to a session feeling 

that the sickness is 

going to make them ugly, 

and they leave knowing 

how to be beautiful and to 

take control.” Martin said.

women cancer patients take control of losing their 

hair due to chemotherapy treatments.

the meeting, because I 

couldn't find the minutes," 

Freda said. 

Project attorney Morgan 

Hollis said his understanding 

was that it was 

an afterthought at the end 

of the meeting, although 

he didn't attend the meeting. 

"(They) didn't feel 

that there was any issue 

there. There was no quid 

pro quo bargaining here," 

he said. 

Freda said that though 

it could never be built on, 

"they still conditioned it. 

That's my concern. "This 

is an ongoing problem 

with them. They issue 

permits on condition, and 

that's the problem." 

Rugg said it was a 

jurisdictional issue and it 

was not their business 

what was agreed upon. 

When reached for 

comment this week, Deb 

Lievens, chairman of the 

Conservation Commission, 

said she wasn’t in 

attendance at the commission 

meeting when 

Hickory Woods was being 

discussed and therefore 

had no comment.
