submitted by Lucy Wilkerson The Pease Greeters are a non-proﬁt organization created in 2005. Deriving their name from Pease International Airport In Portsmouth, this dedicated group of veterans and veteran supporters greet every plan either deploying U.S. troops to Afghanistan or welcoming them home. On Sunday, October 6 Cub Scout Pack 610 along with members of Cub Scout Pack 25, Boy

Scout Troop Troop 610, members of the VFW Post 10722 Ladies Auxiliary and the VFW John Hargreaves Post members became ﬁrst time Pease Greeters. As part of a large crowd we welcomed home ﬂight #646 in-bound from Germany. The Pelham group traveled to Portsmouth for Pack 610’s ﬁrst “Meet-Up” of the Scouting year. year. Scouts and their families brought homemade signs and treats to welcome, meet and greet the 248 service men and women from the 4-3 ADA BN from Fort

Sill, OK returning from their tour of duty from Afghanistan. Our scouts and fellow Pelham folks lined up to give our Soldier Heroes the welcome home they deserved. The soldiers, in awe of the display of patriotism and “shock” that folks would give up a few hours on their weekend to come and welcome them, greeted and “Hi-Fived” our scout family and handed our boys foreign coins and service memorabilia.

The Pease Greeters are a phenomenal group of volunteers. Their “free” welcome wagon includes fresh hot pizza, donuts, coffee, soda, water, candy, gum and cookies for the soldiers. The Greeters commissary offer free books and playing cards and the bathrooms are stocked with free toiletries that afford the luxury of a shave and a chance to freshen up. The biggest hit was the Pease Toy Table. For soldiers going home, it is a unique continued to page 16- Welcome Home

According to information provided by Assistant Town Town Administrator and Finance Director Dana Call, $29,238 was carried forward from 2012, while an additional $50,000 was budgeted for 2013; adding up to a total of $79,238 available for use this year.

State Senator Says Windham is Underfunded Underfunded in Education by Barbara O’Brien Earlier this month, several of Windham’s Windham’s State Representatives, as well as State Senator Jim Rausch (R), who represents Hampstead, Derry and Windham, told local school board members that the Windham School District is underfunded when it comes to State aid for education. This came as no surprise to school board members. According to Senator Rausch, New Hampshire’s Hampshire’s education trust fund “went from major unsustainability to measures intended to counteract that situation.” The funding problem developed, Rausch explained when legislators wrote a formula they couldn’t pay for. “It was written to favor large communities and it did,” Rausch commented. Due to an existing cap on funding for education at the State level, Windham is presently short by about $2.5 million in adequacy aid, which makes it the second worst such scenario in New Hampshire. According to Rausch, Windham is second only to the Town Town of Bedford, which is underfunded by about $4 million. Places such as Windham and Bedford are prejudiced against because they are

Helping to Keep Someone Warm by Bob Gibbs The Windham Woman’s Club held their annual Coat and Sweater Drive at Windham Town Town Hall on October 5.

Various taxes are used to fund adequacy aid. Rather than the current formula that is being used, Rausch would like to see a simple mathematical formula used to determine how much money a community gets. The formula should be based on the number of students x $3,000 per student, he said. “We should just fund the number of children, Rausch Rausch said. Although the formula has stabilized the funding issue somewhat, legislators also realize that a deﬁciency remains. “We still need to generate more revenue,” revenue,” Rausch said. “We’ “We’re re hoping that the economy improves enough to that,” he said. “I truly believe that we will will get there.” there.” While most New Hampshire communities are not seeing growth in their student enrollment, Rausch said Windham “is an anomaly.” “Statewide there are fewer kids,” he said, “but not in Windham.” Windham.” In the last year alone, Windham has seen an increase of about 70 students districtwide.

Tax Dollars Collected on Commercial Property - A Net Gain To Windham; Those Collected on Residential - A Net Loss submitted by Al Letizio, Jr. When considering economic development in Windham, many factors should be considered and among the most important is that Commercial Properties provide positive revenue in tax income to the town and require very little in corresponding expenses for services, as compared to residential where tax dollars brought in do not cover the costs of services provided. A 2012 Windham Conservation Committee “Cost of Community Services” services report shows that when $1,000,000 is collected from residential taxpayers, taxpayers, $1,050,000 is spent out against that revenue in services. When $1,000,000 is collected in commercial taxes, only $280,000 is spent out in services. So the commercial property taxes collected are contributing to our net revenues, while residential are costing us. Commercial Tax Revenue Resident ial Tax Revenue Tax Income $1,000,000 $1,000,000 CosttoofTow Services $280,000 $1,050,000 Net Town n +$720,000 -$ 50,000 When considering both relief to home owners’ tax bill as well as net income to the Town of Windham, aren’t we well served to facilitate and grow our commercial enterprises?

From road rage to impaired driving; it’s

a refresher course,” McCarthy McCarthy explained. “When these drivers got their driver’ driver’ss licenses 40 years ago, there were no driver’s ed classes. classes. For a lot of them, this is their ﬁrst refresher refresher,” ,” he continued. A group of 16 mature drivers spent two days with Lt. McCarthy and AARP Instructor Dick Cote.

helpful. Drivers in the 50 to 75 year old age group have no more trafﬁc crashes than middle age drivers until approximately age 75, when there is an increase. Drivers age 75 and over over have much higher crash rates; almost as great as drivers aged 16-24. New vehicle technology can be confusing to some drivers. This class explained how to avoid distractions by becoming familiar with your vehicle. It explained how to avoid aggressive aggressive drivers, how to drive through roundabouts and how to determine who has the right-of-way and even how medication can affect your driving. The AARP class is geared toward drivers over 50, but is open to anyone looking to refresh their skills. Lt. McCarthy enjoys the opportunity to break barriers and interact with the older drivers, in an informal setting in which he can inform, answer questions and share experiences with the group. “I really enjoy being involved involved and helping people,” he said. He talked about how 99 percent of speed limit signage is white and 1 percent is

yellow and asked the group if they knew what the yellow ones were. He then explained how those are ‘suggested’ speed limit signs and that they can still be enforced. Joseph Rosa, 82, of Salem said, “This “This is my third class and I have deﬁnitely picked up several tips and learned something in each class. class. I think it’s super. Dick Cote is an excellent teacher. It was a good learning experience and we learned a lot.” Rosa, who attended the class class with his partner, Hazel, recalled recalled his ﬁrst car, “I had a Model A Ford. I had to tow it out of a ﬁeld and work on it to get it going. It was 4-cylinder 4-cylinder and the gas was up in the front.

Oh man, that’s that’s old!” He appreciates all the technology that his 2012 Lexus came equipped with. “It tells me if I am drifting off the road, it has stability control.

Town Saves Money on Insurance Premiums

by Barbara O’Brien Three years ago, the Town of Windham switched property and liability insurance companies from the Local Government Center (LGC) to Primex; the only two municipal “pool” programs available available in New Hampshire. The purpose of the switch was to save taxpayer dollars. Late last month, Town Administrator David Sullivan announced that the goal of saving money had been achieved. During the past three years, years, Windham has saved more than $80,000 by going with Primex. The annual cost with the LGC LGC had been $146.000, while the current yearly premium

with Primex is currently $116,000; a difference of $30,000. As a result, Sullivan recommended, and selectmen concurred, that the contract with Primex be extended for an additional three years. Selectmen voted 4 to 0 to extend the contract from 2014 to 2016 with an annual increase of no more than seven percent in the premium. Voting in favor were Chairman Phil LoChiatto, Vice Chairman Kathleen DiFruscia and Selectmen Ross McLeod and Roger Hohenberger. Selectman Al Letizio, Jr. did not attend the meeting where the vote was taken.

Student Enrollment Updated by Barbara O’Brien Approximately a month after the start of the new school year year,, Superintendent Winfried Feneberg noted that the overall student enrollment for the Windham School District was “holding steady,” steady,” but had diminished slightly since the ﬁrst of September. Feneberg, who took over the job of superintendent for SAU 95 on July 1, said there was a total of 2,829 students in kindergarten

through twelfth grade as of October October 1. This is 15 students less than were recorded to be on the roster as of September 1. Feneberg also stated that this past June, at the end of the 2012-2013 school year, there had been a total of 2,840 students enrolled in the Windham School District. The current student enrollment is 11 students less than at the end of the school year this past June.

More About Freemasons Freemasonry traces its ofﬁcial history to the formation of the Grand Lodge of England in 1717, but is generally regarded to have evolved evolved from the cathedral builders of the 1400’s and their proprietary system of stone mason guilds. Some writers maintain that Freemasonry’s roots as a speculative, or symbolic craft, reach back even to the construction of King Solomon’s Temple in Jerusalem and beyond, although historians have not convincingly documented this. Certain aspects of its Lodge ceremonies are considered proprietary and not discussed publically, but are hardly secret when one considers that virtually the entire canon of Masonic Lodge activity is published to and availabl availablee from internet sources. Masonic membership is predicated on an avowed belief in a single unifying God, although it promotes no particular religious points of view, offers no plan of salvation and strictly forbids discussions of religion and politics during its ofﬁcial gatherings.

To Reduce Lyme Disease Risks, Keep Tick-Carrying Deer Out of Your Yard (BPT) - Colder weather’s arrival arrival means homeowners across the country brace themselves for the battle against bold, foraging deer. But with recent reports that Lyme disease - transmitted by ticks that live on deer - is even more prevalent than health ofﬁcials once thought, keeping deer away from your backyard is not just a cosmetic or ﬁnancial issue any more. Your Your success at deterring deer could directly affect your family’s health. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently estimated about 300,000 cases o f Lyme disease are diagnosed each year. Only about 30,000 of those actually get reported to the CDC. Many more likely go undiagnosed since Lyme symptoms can mimic other ailments and even disappear altogether for a time. Lyme disease is now the most common tick-borne illness, according to the CDC, and its health consequences can be severe. Lyme disease is named for the river-side Connecticut town where it ﬁrst emerged in 1977. A number

climate and will not wash off after heavy rain or snow. The The Connecticut Department of Forestry and Horticulture tested Bobbex Deer Repellant against 10 top competitors and found it to be 93 percent effective, second only to a physical barrier, such as a fence, in keeping deer away. To learn more, visit www.bobbex.com. www.bobbex.com. As part of your deer and Lyme prevention efforts, keep these facts in mind: * Prevention is easier than cure - in both cases. Even after treatment with antibiotics, 10 to 20 percent of Lyme patients have symptoms that last for months or even years, the CDC reports. Once deer move into your yard, they can be difﬁcult to evict, and they can cause hundreds of dollars in damage. It’s easier to keep deer away - and avoid Lyme altogether altogether - than to rectify the problems created by deer and the ticks they carry. * A single whitetail deer can consume 8 to 12 pounds of foliage a day. * Home remedies rarely work for keeping deer away, and trying to treat Lyme on your own can

you suspect you’ve been bitten, talk to your d octor right away. The CDC says that reducing your exposure to ticks is the best defense against contracting Lyme disease. While you can’t vaccinate your family against Lyme disease (the vaccine maker stopped production in 2002, citing lack of consumer demand), you can “vaccinate” your backyard against deer that carry Lyme Lyme-bearing -bearing ticks. Keeping deer away from your backyard can help reduce your chances of encountering ticks in your home environment. Look for a proven effective, natural deterrent that has been independently tested, like Bobbex Deer Repellent. The topical foliar spray uses taste and smell aversion ingredients to deter deer, moose and elk from browsing and causing other damage to ornamental plantings, shrubs and trees. Safe for use on even the most sensitive plantings, as well as around children and pets, Bobbex works in any

A bull’s-eye target-shaped rash at the bite location may be the ﬁrst indication that a person was bitten by a tick carrying Lyme disease, but not everyone will see or develop the rash. Symptoms such as joint pain, headaches, neck stiffness and heartbeat irregularities may get mistaken for ﬂu or other illnesses. In the northeast, mid-Atlantic and north-central states, deer ticks carry the disease. On the Paci Paciﬁc ﬁc Coast, blacklegged ticks (who also like traveling on deer) spread Lyme disease, the CDC says.Year-round, Ye ar-round, especially during fall and winter, you should check your own body, children and pets for ticks. Deer ticks are often so small you won’t even feel their bite, so visual inspection is important. If

Untreated Lyme disease can cause severe joint pain and swelling, and even chronic neurological problems such as numbness, tingling in the hands or feet and short-term memory problems, the CDC says. * Even though many plants, bushes and trees will lose their leaves during fall and winter, it’s important to continue applying deer repellents yearround. Remember, deer forage aggressively when food becomes scarce. Fall and winter are the times when they’re most likely to enter your yard - bringing their disease-carrying cargo with them while ravaging your foliage, trees and shrubs.

What a Home Inspe Inspection ction Can do for You (BPT) - While giving a new $900,000 home a thorough going-over going-over,, Salt Lake City home inspector Kurt Salomon found a problem under the deck. The builder had cut corners, using the wrong kind of fasteners to secure the deck to the house. Yet, the municipal building ofﬁcial had approved the work. “In some cases, a building inspector is not going to crawl underneath the deck looking at the hardware. A good home inspector will,” says Salomon, past president of the American Society of Home Inspectors. Because it uncovers aspects of the home that are unsafe or not in working condition, an inspection is a must when buying a home, says J.J. Montanaro, a certiﬁed ﬁnancial planner with USAA. “You want surprises that come with homeownership to be happy surprises, not bad ones,” Montanaro says. “A thorough home inspection by a certiﬁed professional can help ensure that’s the case.” Salomon says an inspection of the house you want to buy helps identify not only safety concerns and failing structural elements but faulty mechanical systems and areas that soon may need maintenance. You’ll pay around $300 to $500 for an inspection, which can take two to three hours. The cost can vary based on your geographic region, and the size and age of the home. Requesting other services, such as septic and radon testing, will add to the fee. “An inspection is money and time wellspent,” Montanaro says. “If your inspector ﬁnds things that should be repaired, you can use that report as leverage to have them ﬁxed or negotiate a lower price.” To help get the most from a home inspection, Salomon and Montanaro advice you to follow these steps: * Do your homework: Many homework: Many contracts include a home-inspection deadline, so start shopping for an inspector when you qualify for a mortgage. This gives you time to ﬁnd a qualiﬁed, professional inspector inspector.. * Look for the inspection clause: Before clause: Before you sign a contract, make sure it includes a

clause that makes your purchase contingent on the ﬁndings of an inspection with the inspector you choose. This can provide a way out of the contract if the inspector ﬁnds a major problem the homeowner won’t address. Make sure the clause is included even if the contract speciﬁes an as-is sale, meaning the seller does not agree to make repairs. “If a seller’s not willing to let you inspect the house, that’s a big red ﬂ ag,” Montanaro says. * Hire a pro: Shop pro: Shop around. Ask friends, neighbors and real estate agents for recommendations. For help online, the American Society of Home Inspectors has a database of its certiﬁed inspectors. And the Department of Housing and Urban Development offers a list of 10 questions to ask inspectors. * Ask to see a sample report: Inspectors report: Inspectors ﬁll out reports, following checklists for different areas of a house. It should be clear and informative. Reports longer than 25 pages ﬁlled with lots of legal print — usually meant to protect the inspector against liabilities — raise a red ﬂag. By the same token, a few pages aren’t enough. * Accompany the inspector: Take inspector: Take notes and ask about maintenance issues you’ll need to address, such as waterprooﬁng the deck, caulking the siding, changing air ﬁlters and other matters. * Review the report: The inspector will send you a written report detailing his or her ﬁndings. Read it closely and ask questions to make sure you understand the condition of all areas of the home. If your inspector ﬁnds a leaky roof, a faulty water heater or some other problem, you may have the right to ask the seller to correct it to your satisfaction or to lower the price. If the seller refuses, you may be able to break the contract without penalty. If a seller agrees either to make the repairs or offer to lower the price, take the money and then ﬁx the problems yourself.

The thinnest house in New York York City, a city known for high real estate costs and compact dwellings, is located in the West Village neighborhood of Manhattan. Now known as the Millay House, a name hon oring its one-time resident, the poet Edna St. Vincent Millay, Millay, the house was built in 1873 and is a mere 9.5 feet wide. It is sandwiched into a space that once served as a carriage alley. While Millay House certainly is compact, a home in Warsaw, Poland, is only four feet wide and, at its thinnest, is only 29.3 inches.

School Board Urges Public Input on Solving Space Crunch by Barbara O’Brien The sole purpose of the Windham School Board’s public forum on October 10 was to solicit opinions and suggestions from members of the community. That turned out to not be an easy task to accomplish. Although nearly two dozen residents residents and parents showed up for the discussion group at Windham Middle School, most of them seemed hesitant to come to the microphone and share their thoughts with others. All ﬁve school board members were there to answer questions, but what they really wanted was input from others on how best to b egin resolving the ongoing space crunch. The people who attended the meeting seemed as confused about which is the best solution to pursue as are school administrators. Not only is there the dilemma of which school to renovate or add on to ﬁrst or whether to build a new school building, but also the challenge of how taxpayers are going to be able to afford whatever recommendation the school board comes up with for next March’s ballot. School board chairman Michael Joanis got things underway by reviewing possible options. The ﬁrst, to “do nothing,” was certainly not a choice that garnered any popularity. Other choices, some of which would be meant to b e temporary, received received little or no support, either, including: tuitioning some students elsewhere, renting space from other school districts, renting commercial space, sending eighth grade students to Windham High School, repairing or replacing portable classrooms, or renovating and/or building an addition to Golden Book School. The most popular choices seemed seemed to be a phased addition to Windham Middle School, building a new seventh and eighth grade school (one that would be expandable to add a sixth grade wing at a later date), or constructing a new sixth, seventh and eighth grade school. Again, the major problem is how one of these more popular choices could be accomplished in a way that would be affordable for taxpayers. Questions also remain on what to do about the need for additional athletic facilities. facilities. This past March, school board members proposed building a seventh and eighth grade school on school district-owned land off London Bridge Road, but the idea was soundly defeated by those residents who turned out at the polls. Board members are hoping they can convince voters to have a change of mind this coming March and are working hard to provide residents with as much information on the situation as possible. possible. Grabbing the attention and maintaining the interest of residents seems to be difﬁcult to

existing portables at Golden Brook next spring. “We’ “We’re re going to need them for at least four more years,” Coish said. “We also need to ﬁx the capacity issues at the middle school,” she added. “Let’ “Let’ss not repeat what we did last year,” year,” Coish said. Although the school is dubbed “Windham Middle School,” it is not actually certiﬁed by the State as a middle school, due to its lack of certain programs. School District Moderator Betty Dunn said she thinks Golden Brook is far too big for an elementary school. “It’ “It’ss huge,” she said. “It’s bigger than some small colleges. You lose a lot with tiny kids in a school that big,” she said; adding that the logistics to run the building are so difﬁcult that soon the students “will need to be regimented like little soldiers.” soldiers.” “They need more room and time for movement,” Dunn stated. Joe Miller, Miller, who said he has a child at Golden Brook, told school school board members that his son returns home at the end of the school day with uneaten snacks because there is not enough time to eat them. “Something prudent has to be done; something more than a stop gap,” Miller said. Tony Masseous Masseous said the situation is “all about how you’re going to pay for it.” There are many diverse families families in town; and not all of them are wealthy, wealthy, Masseous pointed out. Windham needs a larger commercial base to offset residential taxes, taxes, he explained. “Y “You ou gotta keep the taxpayers in mind,” mind,” he said. Masseous also said he believes Windham High School should have been built to house 1,500 students, not 1,000. The new high school opened its its doors to students in 2009. Currently Currently,, there are just over 800 students, plus pre-schoolers housed in one section of the building. Wanda Rice said she moved to Windham because of the new high school and she is pleased with what is happening at that level. However,, looking forward, her biggest concern is that there will be a However repeat of last year’s year’s massive defeats at the polls. “If you put out too much stuff, everything gets voted down,” Rice said. Rosalynn Armstrong reiterated what she’s been saying for the past three years, that the school board needs to take a macro-facility view,, focusing on the space constraints in grades one through eight. view It’s not a building problem, Armstrong said. It’s an over-crowding issue. Superintendent Winfried Winfried Feneberg said he anticipates that it will be about ﬁve more years of increasing enrollment before the numbers begin to level off. “We need to review all the the options and narrow them down. We need to take a long-term view and rally around the ﬁnal choice. We’ We’re re not helping ourselves by putting things off,” Armstrong Armstrong said. “We need to stop making excuses!”

Do you care? Do you encourage your neighbors to vote? vote? Dunn asked. Joanis said that he and the other school school board members feel very frustrated over the lack of participation by residents. “It’ “It’ss a constant struggle,” he said. said. “We are not going to be able to solve solve all the problems at once,” Joanis said, “but we want to at least move the needle in the right direction; from Point A to Point B. “There’s no excuse for people not being here tonight,” Coish said, pointing to all the vacant seats. “ There was plenty of advertising.” advertising.” In response to someone’ someone’ss comment that the town shouldn’t allow any more houses to be built in Windham because of the overcrowded schools, Dunn said, “We don’t have the option to just say you can’t build any more houses.” “That would be unconstitutional,” unconstitutional,” she said, explaining that growth control or dinances are only allowed under extraordinary circumstances. “Windham is not there yet,” she said. Planning board chairman Kristi St. Laurent Laurent said the newest proposed sub-division in Windham Windham includes 21 more houses. In fact, there could very well be 45 new units approved within the next year, she said. “People do have a right to develop their land,” St. Laurent said. “Windham is the kind of community where where people want to raise a family,” family,” she said. “I don’t see a whole lot of relief for the overcrowding any time soon.” As the end of the meeting neared, Joanis said, “We really haven’t heard what you want us to do this coming year.” Masseous said he thinks Golden Brook School should be addressed ﬁrst and that any extra space at Windham High School should be used temporarily until Windham’s Windham’s commercial base is expanded. “Address the big picture in grades one through eight,” eight,” Lois Bates responded. “Go with the biggest bang for the buck,” Nancy Lafferty said. “Don’t ﬁx things piecemeal.” Lafferty said she has some neighbors who are pulling their kids out of Windham public schools and either home schooling them or enrolling them elsewhere, due to the overcrowded classrooms and buildings. Julie Kaplan said said she opposes spending more more money on the portables, stating that they are are “no more than a money pit.” “Go with a new addition,” she said. “Tem “Temporary porary structures cause permanent problems,” Katie Pare Pare said. “Build new; there needs to be a permanent solution.” Barbara Coish said she would no t start with renovations to Golden Brook. “It can’t be ﬁrst,” she said. said. “Something has to be done with

There are some 60 to 80 more students enrolled in Windham now than there were a year ago, Joanis said. In addition, problems with leaking leaking roofs and deteriorating portable classrooms have have moved to the forefront. It has also literally been conﬁrmed that no New Hampshire State Building Aid will be made available for the 2014-2015 school year. The only good news is that one more payment has been made on the 20-year bond for Windham High School. Former school board chairman and long-time volunteer at Golden Brook School Barbara Coish suggested that repairs be made to the

A new teacher contract is currently under negotiation. Dunn said, as the school district moderator, she is often surprised by who does and who doesn’t doesn’t vote. “More people need to get involved,” Dunn said. “Your vote does make a difference.” “It’s

Razorbacks 3rd Grade Continues Win Streak Against Nashua Nashua Elks submitted by Paul Leonard 3rd Grade Razorbacks stop the invading Crusaders in their tracks. Wind, rain, and cold temperatures couldn’t dampen the ﬁghting spirit of the 3rd Grade Razorbacks who added to their undefeated 2013 season with a convincing victory over the Nashua Elks Crusaders. The wet conditions kept most most of the game on the ground but the Elks just couldn’t penetrate the stout wall of bacon that is the Razorbacks defense. The Razorbacks scored on their ﬁrst p ossession with a 12 yard scamper by RB Matt Santosuasso after his 55 yard sweep setup by ﬁerce blocking from Nick Tango, Tango, Jesse Killion, Matt Benson, Ricky Lacoss, Colin Roark. On the conversion attempt, QB Jake Travis Travis attempted to pass to WR Peter Hemmerdinger, but with pressure up the middle he decided to keep it and scrambled left for the extra point. Nashua couldn’t break through the Razorbacks Defense all day day.. The Crusaders ﬁrst offensive series ended with negative yards as they turned the ball over on downs because of unstoppable defensive led by Ryan Lynde Lynde,, Connor Travis, Sawyer “Goose” Gosselin, and Anthony Smith. On the ensuing Razorbacks offensive series QB Jake Trav Travis is took a bootleg left left to the house for a 65 yard touchdown touchdown behind tremendous blocks from Colby Meehan, Ryan Lindell, Kyle Elie, and Aiden Lynch. Nashua’ss next attempt to gain some offensive momentum ended Nashua’ quickly as their running backs were simply getting stuffed at the line of scrimmage by the Razorbacks defenders led by Bobby Ayotte, Ayotte, Dom Herrling, Aiden Patten, and Logan Dumont. At this point the rain really started coming down again and the cold started to really impact both teams. The Razorbacks offense began to bring in some fresh new running backs led by Billy

Nicolls, Zach James, and Bobby Ayotte who were able to break tackles and hold onto the to the ball despite despite hard hits and slippery slippery conditions. Their valiant runs set up a 35 yard TD keeper from QB Jake “Houdini” Tra Travis vis who was was able to escape the clutches of two Crusader defenders who had him stopped in the backﬁeld. The extra point attempt was just short on a strong run from new Running Back Cam Clermont. The Crusaders third try at offense failed after four quick losses caused by defensive stops from Derek Muise, Peter Hemmerdinger,, and Jacob Albert. Hemmerdinger Nearing halftime it seemed that the Razorbacks would score quickly again. FB Alex Carroll rumbled rumbled 43 yards to the Crusader 14 yard line, but the weather conditions seemed to take over and the half ended with a commanding Razorbacks lead 19-0. The rain did not let up in the second half and the temperatures seemed to fall as Colin Roark kicked off to the Nashua 35 with a short run back to the 40. Alex Carroll, Dom Herrling, Jakob Baker, Baker, and Russ Leonard all combined to shut down the Crusader offensive series after just four plays. The ensuing Razorbacks offensive series culminated with a punishing 10 yard TD run by RB Peter Gamache setup by a 35 yard rumble from FB Derek Muise. The Crusaders tried valiantly to get it going on offense but was stopped cold by LB Jakob Baker who intercepted the Nashua pass attempt and scampered 75 yards for the Razorbacks Touchdown Touchdown to the delight of the “Bacon Boosters” cheering from the sideline. This brought the ofﬁcial score to 32-0 in favor of the Razorbacks and on came a fresh crop of future running backs as Mason Ketelaar , Diego Jimenez, and Russ leonard took the rock rock and punished the Crusader Crusader defense with hard runs right into heart of the defense. Next week the Razorbacks will travel to Raymond with a full tilt matchup against the Nor-Rock Vikings.

Along with teammates David David Boardman (85), Kyle Surprenant (90), and Doug Carton (91), the top four Python scorers combined for a team total of 337; good for state runner-up recognition as they ﬁnished just ahead of Mascenic (338), Gilford (339) and nearby Campbell (344). With respect to Bow’s running away with the state title after an unblemished 22-0 regular season mark, Vaiknoras, Vaiknoras, light heartedly and with a sense of realism, referenced the teams that ﬁnished second through ﬁfth by saying “we were playing for our own championship,” adding of the strong Falcon foursome; “nobody was beating Bow.” Bow.” The top 7 teams in the standings during the regular season qualiﬁed for the post season competition and were allowed to bring all seven players to the event.

Playing out of his home course of Campbell Scottish Highlands in Salem, Vaiknoras played precision golf; hitting 30 out of 36 greens in regulation; “I put myself in good position to score,” recalled the senior Snake. With distance and accuracy from the tee box being a key factor, Vaiknoras jokingly awarded his 3 iron with Most Valuable Club status, saying; “just because it stuck with me both days.” With an ability of mastering the short game, he also gave an honorable mention of sorts to his sand wedge for its role of honing in on ﬂag sticks with approach shots from the fairway. On the day after his superb individual accomplishment that will earn him a spot in the comforting conﬁnes of the PHS Snake Pit, Vaiknoras admitted, “it feels awesome.

The Jaguars head coach, Matt Bryant explains why, why, “Our style is to try to keep as much possession possession as we can. We move the ball from side to side and when successful spaces open up and as we wear opponents down opportunities to scoring become available.” Roughly midway through the ﬁrst half that style of play bore fruit

in the form of two goals by senior Co-Captain, Sarah Chau. Later in the half sophomore Hannah Pesci notched two goals giving Windham a 4-0 lead at the half. Assisting on the ﬁrst half goals were Danielle Fischer, Selena Hansen, and Clairee Putnam. Coach Bryant talked talked about how key Putnam has been to the program, “Not a lot happens without Clairee, she’s been our captain for three years and starting in the middle of our defense for four years. She has the ability to calm down other players players on our team.

Zack Masiello recorded two sacks and Nick DeCarolis had several key tackles including dropping a Hilltopper runner for a loss on a 4th-and-1 play. Pelham’s interior lineman Dominic Branco, Tom Gleason, and Mahmoud Bagegni did not record as many tackles as usual because Somersworth seldom ran up the middle opting to run wide most of the game.

Following the game Coach Clark summed up his thoughts about Epping, “They are a very good team, they’re well coached, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see them down the road in the playoffs. They have solid linebackers linebackers and a very good offensive and defensive line.”
