by Barbara OBrienThe overpayment of school impact fees by developers, an issue

that has been haunting town offi cials in Windham for nearly a year, has fi nally been resolved.The resolution came following a joint meeting of selectmen,

school board and planning board members earlier this month. The discrepancy in what was paid by developers, to help offset the impact of their construction on local schools, came to light last spring. As a result, town offi cials spent months researching the issue in an attempt to determine which developers had overpaid and which had underpaid the assessed impact fees. According to Community Development Director Laura Scott, the mistakes were made because certain staff members didnt understand the state regulations, which, reportedly, were changed a few times over the past several years. This is not the towns fi nest hour, former selectman Alan Carpenter commented.The issue taken under discussion most recently was what to do

about school impact fees that were overpaid. Town Administrator David Sullivan said there were two questions to answer regarding the problem. First, what was the extent of refunds to be made and, secondly, where would the refund money come from?Impact fees are assessed by the planning board during the

approval process and then are, subsequently, supposed to be collected by the Community Development Department when a certifi cate of occupancy is issued by the towns building inspector. That money is then placed either in an account for the school district or in a separate account designated for public safety impact fees. Currently, school impact fees are used toward paying the bonds on the new high school or the new kindergarten building.

According to Sullivan, since the inception of school impact fees, a total of $173,541 has been over-collected from developers. However, based on state law, there is a three-year statute of limitation on those funds. Therefore, the town is only liable for refunding $14,265 of the total amount over-paid; fees collected during 2011, 2012 and 2013. In addition, based on information received from Town Attorney Bernie Campbell, town offi cials can

Windham Seniors Recognized asElk Teenagers of the Month

by Jillian DiPersio, Windham High School InternFour seniors from Windham High School, Samantha Broady,

Haley Pereira, Brandon Smith, and Joe Forti, have been chosen as Teenagers of the Month through a program run by the Derry-Salem Elk, Lodge 2226. Each month area high schools nominate high-achieving members of their senior class to be recognized as Teenagers of the Month. Students are chosen based on their accomplishments in academics, extracurricular activities, and community service. At the end of the year, the Elk Lodge will choose the recipients of the Elk Teenager of the Year scholarship from those students named Teenagers of the Month. Samantha Broady is a high honor roll student, having

been awarded the Renaissance Award, the Wesleyan University Book Award, and named a New Hampshire Scholar and Student of the Term. She also received the top score on the National Spanish Exam for Level 2 at WHS. She has work experience in sales, merchandising, and commercial art. She has designed the logo for Magnum T. Enterprises as well as the offi cial t-shirt for the WHS AP Psychology classes 2012-2013. Throughout her career at WHS she has been incredibly involved, playing on the varsity tennis team, participating in the Friends of Rachel Club, the Art Club, and the Jaguar Community Alliance. Haley Pereira has also been highly involved all

through high school. She is a member of the National Honor Society and Math Honor Society, has received the WHS Renaissance Award and the Holy Cross Book Award. Her freshman year she was the WHS Poetry Out Loud Finalist. She has taken the Maxima Cum Laude National Latin Exam and received a Gold Medal for the Classical Etymology Exam. She is also a founding member of the Smart Chix Club and is a varsity cheerleader. She works at Sophisticakes in Windham and also dedicates her time to tutoring and volunteering.

Brandon Smith doubles as both an honor student and an athlete. He has been awarded the Bausch + Lomb Honorary Science Award, the Honor Physics Highest Grade Point Average award, and has taken the National Latin Exam Magna Cum Laude for Latin I and II. His freshman and sophomore year he became a black belt in karate and was part of a demo team that performed at numerous community events. His sophomore year he also participated in Judo and won third place in two tournaments, both statewide and nationwide. His junior year he was on the WHS wrestling team, and he spent both his junior and senior year playing on the varsity football team. Smith will be attending the Georgia Institute of Technology this upcoming fall. Joe Forti is in National Honor Society, Math

Honor Society, and Spanish Honor Society. He was on the Granite State Challenge Team and has been a member of the WHS varsity tennis team for four years. He is captain of the WHS soccer team, which he has been involved with for four years, and he has done indoor track for three years. Forti was also a National Merit Scholarship Finalist. These four extraordinarily accomplished

students are eligible for the Teenager of the Year Scholarship, which will be announced in May at the Derry-Salem Elks Youth Awards Banquet. Last year two students were named Elk Teenagers of the Year, one student from Windham High School and the other from Salem High School. Best of luck, Samantha, Haley, Brandon and Joe in your fi nal months of senior year and beyond!

by Barbara OBrienFinancial Director and Assistant Town

Administrator Dana Call has reported that approximately 2.6 percent of the approved total town operating budget for 2013 was not spent. This amounts to $336,871 out of a total town operating budget of $11,916,516. The unexpended funds are available toward the 2013 year-end fund balance and, once audited, could be used to offset the 2014 tax rate.Call said that the largest component of savings

was in the highway department, as a result of unexpended winter maintenance/materials, totaling about $65,000; plus unexpended summer (paving) projects, totaling about $75,000. In addition, Call said, the solid waste management budget realized savings in salaries and benefi ts, due to the retirement of a full-time employee, who was not immediately replaced. $21,000 was also saved in the administration portion of the town budget, due to a delay in the anticipated stormwater management program. Lastly, according to Call, taxpayers realized a savings of approximately $32,000 in the general insurance line, due to a return of surplus funds from the towns Workers Compensation Program. Departments which had expenditures

over their budgeted amounts were general government and the fi re department. Call explained that these departments, as well as administration and the police department, had salary and benefi t expenditures exceeding those which were anticipated, due to the towns buyout of accumulated earned time balances this past year, for both active and retired employees; an amount that totaled approximately $200,000.As for incoming revenue, Call said those

amounts came in about $229,000 (4.7%) higher than originally anticipated. Those funds also count toward the 2013 fund balance and, once audited, could be used to offset the 2014 tax rate. Call also said that Windham continues

to benefi t from state and federal grants and other such funding. For 2013, Windham was reimbursed by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Administration) in the amount of $37,412, received a State of New Hampshire Emergency Management grant of $3,480 (to cover 50% of replacing the fi re departments pagers), as well as $8,864 from the State of New Hampshire for 100 percent of equipment for the Windham Police Department. Other general revenue, such as motor vehicle

registrations, building permits and interest on delinquent taxes came in higher than was anticipated when the 2013 tax rate was set this past October. From 2010 through 2012, motor vehicle registrations came in about $2,659,000, while for 2013; the actual amount was $2,972,391. Average building permit revenues for 2010 through 2012 amounted to $160,000 per year, while the actual total collected during 2013 was $192,741.During 2013, Windham made its fi nal

payment on a two-year bond to pay for a new fi re engine. In addition, Windham made its fi nal payment on a 10-year $100,000 bond to renovate Searles School and Chapel; a project which was fully funded through rental income from the operation of the building and not by taxpayers. Since that time, Windham has entered into several lease/purchase agreements for police, fi re, highway and transfer station vehicles and equipment, the principal and interest payments for which are included in the annual operating budget. However, Windham had no outstanding long-term municipal debt as of December 31, 2013.

New School Board Members Sworn In; Chairman Selected

by Barbara OBrienFollowing the March 11 school district election, two new

members took their seats on the Windham School Board. Being sworn in on March 18 were newly elected school board members Ken Eyring and Rob Breton, neither of whom has served in that capacity previously.Breton and Eyring are taking over for former school board

members Michelle Farrell and Stephanie Wimmer, each of whom served one three-year term. Neither Wimmer nor Farrell chose to seek re-election to a second term.Selected as school board chairman for the ensuing year was

Jerome Rekart, who is just beginning his third year on the Windham School Board. Rekart was elected to serve as chairman by a unanimous vote of 4 to 0, with Rekart abstaining from a vote. Rekart is taking over the duties of chairman from Michael Joanis, who is also getting started on his third year on the school board. Chosen as vice-chairman was Dennis Senibaldi. Senibaldi has

only one year of experience on the school board, but did serve a term as selectman, several years ago. Senibaldi also received a unanimous nod from his fellow board members (4 to 0), likewise abstaining from casting a vote in his own favor.Reversing a comment Senibaldi made prior to the election, he

is now saying that he will serve on the school districts facility

committee again. Before the election, when Senibaldi wasnt happy with the boards decision to not support proposing an addition to Windham Middle School, he had commented that he was done wasting his time on this type of committee. He, apparently, had a change of heart following the election. Senibaldi also asked that a formerly proposed case manager

position be reinstated in the 2014-2015 operating budget, replacing one of the new director positions. The director positions are slated to replace the dean positions at the high school over a two-year period. Rekart said he didnt feel comfortable doing something that wasnt included in the budget that voters approved earlier this month.Superintendent Winfried Feneberg also took a moment to thank

all those voters who turned out to support the Windham School District at the recent election. This is the fi rst time in three years that the proposed school district operating budget passed voter scrutiny. During the past two years, the school district has been forced to operate under a default budget. This years proposed budget passed by a very encouraging margin, Feneberg said, adding that he feels the proposal was very conservative, with limited increases.Feneberg also thanked voters for supporting the two proposed

contracts this year; one of which was for the teachers, the other for the instructional assistants.

FLOW Honors Two Exceptional Volunteers

submitted by Pam SkwiotThe Friends of the Library of Windham recognized two

outstanding volunteers at a celebratory banquet last week. Each year, FLOW gathers to thank current board members for their commitment to, and support for, the Nesmith Library. The event is also an opportunity to celebrate successes and recognize those volunteers who make exceptional contributions to our community. Those honored for their service to the Nesmith Library, FLOW, and the Windham Community included Stephanie Wimmer and Kelley Gage. Friends President, Pam Russell, and Former President Pam Skwiot honored the award recipients who were given plaques, fl owers and words of gratitude. The Carl Heidenblad, Murray Levin, Patricia Skinner Award was

created in 1992 and honors an individual who is not necessarily a FLOW board member, but who has given tremendous support and/or performed many services for the Nesmith Library and the Windham community. This year, the award was given to Stephanie Wimmer. Stephanie served on the FLOW Board for four years as publicity chair. She was passionate in spreading the word about FLOW, the library and all of the good things the organization does. She was always on top of getting press releases out and making sure that the town knew about FLOW events and the Strawberry Festival. She worked tirelessly on promoting FLOW and the Strawberry Festival and always brought fresh, new ideas to the table.

In addition to her work with FLOW, Stephanie is a very committed volunteer in the community. She has served as an elected member of the Windham School Board since 2011. She is a board member of the Windham Endowment for Community Advancement and a member of the Parish Council at St. Matthews Parish. In addition, Stephanie works full time as the director of U.S. Reimbursement and State Government Affairs for Medtronic. One nominator said of Stephanie, She serves the Windham community in so many ways and is always so passionate about her roles and her commitment to the schools and town. She is an exceptional leader and a dedicated volunteer.The Marjorie Carter Award, established in 1977, recognizes a

FLOW member who has put forth a diligent effort on behalf of the group and has shown an outstanding commitment to the library and its community. This year, the Marjorie Carter Award was presented to Kelley Gage. Kelley has been a dedicated volunteer for FLOW for almost 10 years. She began volunteering at FLOW book fairs and at the Strawberry Festival in 2005. From 2009-2011 she was on the FLOW Board and served as the book fair chair. Even after leaving the Board, Kelley continues her service to FLOW by volunteering every year at the book fairs, Strawberry Festival and offering her time sorting whenever possible. She always makes sure the ongoing section is updated and has been very supportive of FLOW over the years. She is always willing to offer advice and lend a helping hand. One FLOW board member said of Kelley, I loved having her as book fair chair, she was organized and so on top of things as well. She brought an energy to the book fair, ongoing, and the attic. It all ran so smoothly with Kelley behind the wheel. Additionally, Kelley has been so encouraging toward the future generation of FLOW volunteers. Her daughter can often be seen helping her with volunteer work, and Kelley has made a great impression on other members children by giving them jobs during book fair set up and fostering their love of volunteerism.The Friends of the Library of Windham is honored to have so

many committed and wonderful volunteers to support the library and community.

by Joe DAleoAs a co-founder

of The Weather Channel and its first director

of meteorology back in 1982, I have more than 40 years of experience in professional meteorology. That includes 20 years as chief meteorologist at Weather Services International Corporation. Since 2011 my main focus has been as chief meteorologist for Weatherbell Analytics LLC.As a college professor at Lyndon State College,

I helped establish the Meteorology program while also inaugurating the Northeast Storm Conference, now in its 39th year. In addition to being a certified consultant meteorologist and fellow of the American Meteorologist Society, I am an author, speaker and contributor on the topic of weather and climate. I have also testified on the topic before federal and state legislatures and taken the science lead on legal briefs to the DC circuit and U.S. Supreme courts.A Hudson resident for the last 25 years, I will be

contributing regular stories on weather and energy issues of concern to New Hampshire residents in general and PWN readers in particular. I will provide information you probably wont read in the mainstream media.There are unreported changes underway in the

climate and politics on a national and state level that will have a major impact on your familys economic future you need to be aware of. I have always considered myself an environmentalist and conservationist, but the environmental organizations and our universities have been taken over by radical elements that do not have your best interests in mind.As co-founder of Greenpeace and a PhD

Ecologist Patrick Moore told the U.S. senate, It is a powerful convergence of interests among a very large number of elites, including politicians who want to make it seem as though theyre saving the world; environmentalists who want to raise money and get control over very large issues like our entire energy policy; media, for sensationalism; and universities and professors for grants. You can hardly get a science grant these days without saying it has something to do with climate change.It is a kind of nasty combination of extreme

political ideology and a religious cult all rolled into one, and its taken over way too much of our thought process and way too much of our priorities.I will prove that to you with climate facts, their

own words and published plans. I will also mix in interesting climate facts about recent seasons and forecast the upcoming seasons. For example, did you know, in the last 20 years, winter temperatures in all nine U.S. climate regions have declined (an average of 2.26F for the U.S.). Here in the Northeast winters have cooled 1.2F. This past winter was the coldest ever in many north central locations and even the third coldest since 1879 in Chicago. Joe Bastardi and I at Weatherbell forecast this downtrend many years ago and this particular memorable cold and snowy winter many months in advance for our 3,600 clients based on the same factors that drive the longer term climate cycles. Instead of our climate becoming more like South

Carolina, the trends would argue (and we will give physical reasons why in the next report), we will become more like Quebec.Global temperatures have not warmed for going

on 18 years even as CO2 increased 12 percent.

Sea level rises have dropped in half globally to just 4 inches per century. Global hurricane activity is at a 30-plus year low. Sandy produced devastation, but it was barely a CAT 1 storm on landfall. We had eight major hurricanes hit the east coast from 1938 to 1960. There were 142 fewer tornadoes in 2013 than any year on record, and, despite two big fires made worse by environmental pushback on thinning and brush removal, the number of wildfires was the lowest since reliable records began in 1984. We are told we are seeing rapid increases in heat records, but the state all-time heat records tell another story. Twenty-three of the 50 occurred in the 1930s, 38 before 1960 and there have been more all-time cold records than heat records since the 1940s.The only phenomena that has increased is the

one that NOAA, the IPCC and Union of Concerned Scientists (really environmental activists) that now occupy our universities said would vanish snow. In 2007, 2012 and again early this year, they advised the ski and maple sugar industries and our legislature that the ski and sugar industry would die here. 2007-2008 broke records for the most snow in northern and central New England. Last year we had the super blizzards of February and March, and this year is well above normal here and ranking in the top 10 in most cities from the East to Midwest and even for several locations from Philadelphia west to Chicago converging on number 1. For the hemisphere, four of the five highest snow cover years have occurred in the last six years.But instead of admitting to their mistakes (and I

have just presented the tip if the iceberg of failings), they claim whatever happens is consistent with their theories. They have created a non-falsifiable hypothesis by claiming both sides of every extreme or possible occurrence, even cooling.Einstein noted a model or a hypothesis cannot

prove anything. But data can invalidate a hypothesis or model. The case is never closed. Many experiments may prove me right but it takes only one to prove me wrong. If our legislators take the action these

environmental activists here posing as scientists and the politically driven agencies in DC are pushing, your electric bills and the cost for heating oil and natural gas and gasoline, which we all felt the pain of this year, will be much higher come next winter. Europe believed in the green agenda until unemployment soared, energy prices skyrocketed and the lights went out. They have stopped subsidizing renewables, and, in Germany alone, they are building 24 new coal fired plants to try and save their economy. The White House and our own state leaders are ignoring the lessons learned in Europe at our peril and expense.If you have

by AJ DickinsonPelham residents gathered together in February

at the American Legion to view a presentation on the Affordable Care Act. Tom Kinney of Lighthouse Financial Network dove into his discussion by introducing key facts about Obamacare. The central goal of the Affordable Care Act is to significantly reduce the number of uninsured by providing affordable coverage options through Medicaid and the new health insurance marketplaces. The law requires most people to maintain a minimum level of health insurance coverage beginning in 2014, explained Kinney. The Affordable Care Act is a law that was passed by President Obama. The purpose of this new law is to ensure that every individual has health insurance. This is accomplished by offering customers discounts and deductions on insurance plans called tax credits through government-sponsored health insurance plans. The Affordable Care Act also grants that more people get affordable health insurance by extending the Medicaid assistance program. Obamacare plans can be purchased on healthcare.gov or from your states healthcare websites. Furthermore, discounts can only be received if the household income

is between one to four times the federal poverty level. Several websites have calculators that can determine whether or not someone is eligible for health insurance discounts. If a person doesnt fall within the federal poverty levels, a person still able to buy a plan on the federal insurance marketplace. Even though there may not be a discount, it may still be a good deal. People who are able to receive health insurance through their place of employment are also not eligible for tax credits. Kinney also mentioned that people do not have to purchase the same plans. He stated there are four metal tier plans that range from bronze to platinum. Bronze is the cheapest plan; platinum is the most expensive plan. The platinum plan insures 90 percent of medical costs while the bronze plan covers 60 percent. Consequently, there is a payment penalty for not having health insurance that will be levied when a person files a 2014 tax return. Aram Jeknavorian of the American Legion added his thoughts on the presentation, Ive felt for some time that even amongst discussion at the post and other veterans organizations, theres tremendous confusion about the Affordable Healthcare Act. I was amazed during this discussion that even among professionals, there was confusion.

Life of an Athlete ProgramThe Pelham School District is proud to be part of the

Life of an Athlete program for the second year running. The program is put on, free of charge, by the New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association, in an effort to educate students, athletic directors and coaches about the impact that lifestyle choices have on ones athletic performance as well as to teach them skills to model healthier behavior.The overall goal of the program is to improve

performance both on and off the field by empowering todays youth to lead the way. Materials for the training were developed by Olympic trainer and coach, John Underwood, who conducts the training sessions with Philadelphia Eagles performance trainer, Shaun Huls and other organizations throughout NH who have had success with the program. While the program focuses on student athletes, the model will have residual impacts on all segments of the school and community. The Living the Life of an Athlete program is a positive commitment that the Pelham School District is proud to support. For more information, please visit www.nhiaa.org or

contact Todd Kress at 603-635-2115Through programs such as this, we continue to inspire

success one mind at a time at the Pelham School District.

Your Firefighters Thank YouThe members of PFFW L-2915 would like to thank

the citizens of Windham for their continued support on election day. Your actions at the polls once again showed why Windham continues to be a premier community to work and live in. We would first like to thank you for supporting our new three-year contract. We would also like to thank you for your strong support of the grant assisted Quint fire apparatus and our replacement ambulance. Without your continued support we would not be able to do our job and help continue to make Windham a safe and successful place to live.With great appreciation.

Ready to Serve on Windham School Board

Id like to take this opportunity to thank you for your dedication to the education of our children. You came to the polls in numbers not seen in recent years and participated in a very important process. I want to thank those that voted to elect me to the school board, and make you a promise - no one will work harder than I will to help find the solutions that our schools need to continue moving forward. I was particularly moved by the number of people that I had never met before who made it a point to come up to me at the polls to say I voted for you. Im honored, humbled, and ready to serve. I will always make myself available to you for a phone call, an email, or a conversation over a cup of coffee so that you continue to be heard and be a part of our childrens education.I want to also thank all those who assisted me during

the campaign - from those who hosted meet and greets, to those that placed my signs on their property, to those that spent Saturdays at the Transfer Station or election day with me helping me get my message out. Thanks also to the many that spoke to their neighbors on my behalf, and those that wrote letters of endorsement in the papers. I received some great advice from past members of the

school board and the Board of Selectman about how to run an effective - but positive - campaign, and for that I am grateful. It can be done.I am so glad that I got to know my fellow candidates

through this campaign. Bob, Sean, and Justin are good men and I will be bringing what I learned from them with me to the school board. I plan on seeing them all at the meetings and I expect they will remain involved in school issues. That is good because we need them. I look forward to working alongside Mr. Eyring for the next three years.

I also look forward to the opportunity to work with Mr. Senibaldi, Dr. Rekart, and Mr. Joanis, as well as Superintendent Feneberg, Adam Steel, and Kori Becht.Most of all, thanks are due to my family. My children

are the reason I ran in the first place, and they supported dad in any way they could (I think at least two of them voted for me). I am truly blessed to have them. One of the great moments of the campaign for me was watching my parents arrive at the high school and go in to vote for me. My wife, Holly, was my source of strength (as always) and did more to help me get to this point than I can ever thank her for properly. I am a very lucky man indeed.Now, the real work begins and I am excited to get

started!

Rob Breton, Windham

Delighted about Re-election to Planning Board

Election Day was exhilarating and I am delighted that you chose to re-elect me to the Planning Board. Having spent more than a decade serving on this board, I do know what to expect. I am actually looking forward to the hard work and diligence required to be effective in planning the future of Windham. Thank you, voters of Windham, for your confidence in me.I particularly want to thank the people who supported

me, by writing letters to the newspapers, holding my sign at the Transfer Station and on Election Day, and hosting my sign in their front yards. And, above all, calling their friends and neighbors and asking them to vote for me. I truly appreciate your help and will work hard to live up to your expectations.I also want to thank the people who helped me out on

Election Day, by bringing me coffee and food, and just generally encouraging me.

Margaret McKee Crisler, Windham

Humbled and Honored by Opportunity to Serve

Thank you for your trust in electing me to the Windham School Board. I understand there is nothing more important for our community than to provide our children with a safe and excellent education. I am humbled and honored to have this opportunity to serve and represent Windham to the best of my ability. I would also like to thank Mr. Bob Coole, Mr. Sean

Donahue, Mr. Justin Pare and Mr. Rob Breton for their candidacies. Over the past two months, I have gotten to know each of these men better and I believe that their involvement encouraged a deeper and more thorough discussion of the issues that concern Windham residents. Im looking forward to serving on the School Board

with Chairman Rekart, Vice-Chairman Senibaldi, Mr. Joanis and Mr. Breton. During all of our discussions and decision making, I will strive to do what is best for our students, parents, teachers and taxpayers.

Introducing Possibility of Charter School

There has been considerable talk and speculation about the start of a charter school in Windham. We would like to begin introducing our concept and proposal to the citizens of our town.Educational Choices Foundation (ECF) is an

independent, non-profit organization formed with the purpose of establishing a public charter school in Windham. It is based on the premise that a charter school provides families an educational option within the public school system and offers a financially responsible and unique opportunity to address the districts crowding and building challenges.In New Hampshire, all charter schools are part of

the public school system. This means they must follow many of the same requirements as other public schools. Charters do not charge tuition; they cannot discriminate for enrollment; they must accept any student; if demand exceeds capacity, the charter must hold a blind lottery to determine admission; and students must also take

the same year-end tests. Charter schools may also offer differences that are not available in traditional public schools. They have the freedom to utilize a specific academic focus or philosophy. For example, the Granite State Art Academy focuses on fine arts; the Academy for Science and Design in Nashua focuses on STEM; other charters use a Montessori learning approach. This is how charter schools offer educational options within the public school system.Having these options can be beneficial for students

for many different reasons. Some students may have different learning needs and goals, while others may want to be more challenged. Charters can offer many options. Most importantly, no child is required to enroll at any charter school. All charter school enrollments are at the parents choice.Before applying for enrollment at any charter school,

parents and students know what to expect. Before a charter school can begin operations, it must define its mission, philosophy, and a preliminary budget in a document that defines their charter. Once the charter is written, it is presented to the NH Board of Education for a rigorous approval that ensures the proper attention has been given to all aspects of the charter and that students will be provided with an excellent education. Only after approval is granted, may the school hire staff, contract for a building, define specific school policies, and purchase curricula.New Hampshire offers two types of public charter

schools -- state authorized and district authorized. ECF is seeking a district charter school for Windham for multiple reasons, all of which we believe will benefit our students and community. These will be addressed in our next article.

Michelle Levell on behalf of The Educational Choices Foundation, Windham

Glad to See So Many Voters OutI wish to extend my heart felt thanks to my supporters

and to those residents that voted for me in our towns recent election. Though I was not successful in my endeavor for a school board position, I applaud everyone who campaigned for an elected position whether they won or not. It was a pleasure to see so many people get involved.

Bob Coole, Windham

Decision to Move Forward with School Addition HistoricOn behalf of the Pelham School Board and Pelham

schools, we would like to thank the citizens of Pelham for their support of the Pelham School District at this years annual meeting. Obviously, we are thrilled with the results, most specifically the passing of the High School addition/remodel project, PEA (teacher) contract, and the PESPA (support personnel) contract. Last Tuesday, an impressive 41 percent of registered Pelham came out and exercised their constitutional right to vote. Whether we all agree or not on the outcome of the vote, the turnout for this election shows a true commitment by the community of Pelham to its schools and town. The decision to proceed with the PHS addition/remodel is an historic one, which will positively impact the school and the town for many years to come. The board and the district recognize the responsibility we have to live up to the trust you have placed in us. We promise that we will continue to engage and inform the community as we move forward with the project. Prior to Tuesdays vote, many dedicated individuals and groups worked hard to engage and inform the voters of Pelham. Their tireless efforts gave voters the information needed to make an informed decision. We would like express our sincere appreciation to all of those who participated in getting the word out.Thank you for your support and know that we are

committed to continuing to inspire success one mind at a time at the Pelham schools. Pelham voters have just allowed us to continue moving forward in this mission.

Brian Carton, Chairman, on behalf of the Pelham School Board

by Len LathropHis struggles over the last 16 months have changed him as well

as those around him. This story focuses on one 19 year old, his best friend since the fi fth grade at the Center School, and his family and friends and the changes they went though. Now with his Stay Positive Apparel LLC many more lives could be changed.CJay DiPrima was diagnosed with a very rare form of non-

Hodgkin lymphoma cancer known as grey zone lymphoma. As CJay related in laymans terms, it is a form of two cancers that led to a tumor in his chest. The tumor location pushed into his trachea thus causing him shortness of breath; thankfully, this led to his diagnosis. Cjays treatment included several open biopsies, four months of chemotherapy, and a month of proton radiation. The effects on CJay were loss of weight and hair, as well as chemo sickness four to fi ve days after each treatment. CJays father, Chuck DiPrima, reported his sons will to live and persevere against this terrible illness was strongly tied to CJays ability to Stay Positive.CJay and his best friend, Tom Mullin, have since formed a

company that produces and sell mens, womens, and childrens apparel, including shirts, sweatshirts, and hats. Thirty percent of each item sold is donated to Massachusetts General Pediatric Oncology to help fi ght the battle against cancer.

The Stay Positive products are designed with a logo that CJay and Tom developed while helping Toms girlfriend make a screen-printing sheet for a school pride event at Windham High. When the word positive wouldnt fi t on the shirt the logo was born. The business partners both ware in college; Tom is at Colby College studying health sciences hoping to work in physical therapy, while CJay is a media student at Northern Essex Community College.The shirt styles currently

offered are as follows: mens and womens crew or V-necks, womens or mens sweatshirts, and childrens crew necks. These are all available in black or white, and the plus sign changes according to the cancer awareness. So far the following cancer types are

available: brain, breast, prostate, leukemia, lymphoma, ovarian, and Hodgkins lymphoma. More types of cancers will be added periodically.For more information visit www.staypositiveapparel.com.

by Barbara OBrienFollowing Windhams annual town elections, held

earlier this month, veteran selectman Ross McLeod got the nod to serve as board chairman for the ensuing year. The decision to designate McLeod as chairman was a unanimous one. McLeod is now in the second year of his second term as selectman.Receiving a unanimous vote to serve as vice-chairman

was Al Letizio, Jr. Letizio is now in the second year of his fi rst term as selectman. He also served on the Windham School Board for a period of time.

The Monday, March 24 meeting was also the fi rst for rookie selectman Joel Desilets and returning board member Bruce Breton.Chairman McLeod expressed his gratitude to the 3,560

registered voters who turned out to express their opinions at the polls on March 11. McLeod also thanked former selectmen Kathleen DiFruscia and Phil LoChiatto for their three years of service to Windham residents. Neither DiFruscia nor LoChiatto chose to seek re-election to a second term, although both of them said they will remain active in the community.
