——◆—–––The Derry Village Rot-
ary Club and Derry RotaryClub plan to honor Vietnamera veterans with a dinnercelebration at the Boys andGirls Club of Greater Derry.The Rotary clubs are hopingto spread the word to allpresent and former Derryresidents who served duringthe Vietnam era that they areinvited to attend the May 26event.
“This is our way as
Rotarians to say thank youfor your service to our coun-try,” Derry Rotarian ArtMcLean said.
Derry Rotarian Ed Gar-one said veterans who haveattended previous eventshave expressed tremendousgratitude for the recognition.During a trip to Washington,D.C., sponsored by the clubsin 2009, Garone said oneWorld War II veteran whowas celebrating his 61stwedding anniversary withhis wife stood up on a busduring the day trip and said,
‘I can’t thank you enoughbecause this is the nicest giftanyone has ever given us.’”
Because many VietnamEra veterans were not wel-comed home or honored fortheir sacrifice after the war,McLean said this year’sevent will be especiallypoignant.
“It’s very emotional forall the veterans,” saidBrenda McDougald, whosehusband served in theVietnam War. “It’s hurtful tonot be acknowledged andthanked. When people
acknowledge (my husband),it means everything to him -just to have someone shake(his) hand and say ‘thankyou for your service.’”
Veterans who do not livein Derry, but who weredrafted or enlisted while liv-ing in town, are invited aswell, according to RotarianGeorge Klauber. Attendeesmust have served during theVietnam era, but are notrequired to have served inthe Vietnam War.
Garone estimates thereare about 500 to 700 Derry
Vietnam era veterans.The dinner event will
include live musical enter-tainment, a guest speaker,and a gift for each honoraryguest. Last year’s event,which was attended byabout 40 Korean War veter-ans and their guests, fea-tured New HampshireAdjutant General MajorWilliam N. Reddel III asguest speaker; a meal cat-ered by Rachel’s Catering;and live entertainment pro-vided by the Rhythm ofNew Hampshire Show

After dinner, each veteranwas awarded a commemora-tive hat and framed photo-graph of the Korean WarMemorial in Washington, D.C.

All veterans who plan toattend this year’s celebrationare invited to bring oneguest each, and are asked tocall 432-3883 to register.Dinner is scheduled to beginat 5 p.m.

Station through the sum-mer; $5,500 to purchasetraining materials for theFire Department’s CPRtraining program; a 2 per-cent salary increase for theTaylor Library staff; and a25 percent increase in thecarrying cost of diesel andgas, with diesel and gascosts expected to jump to$3 per gallon next year,according to Public Works

Director Mike Fowler.Other budget increases
the council approved in pre-vious workshops include$8,500 for the town’s July4th fireworks display, and$1,000 for additional print-ing on the town’s electionballot. After all theapproved increases, thetown’s budget remains 15cents under its tax cap; andMobsby projected a zero
percent increase in thetown’s tax rate for townservices based on proposedincreases to date.
Mobsby said the councilcould raise the budgetanother $383,525 and stillstay within the tax cap.
Flagged items that willbe revisited at the council’spublic hearing on the budg-et are the town’s legal fees,the Assessing Department’s
total budget, the potentialfor restoring a police officerposition, and leasing policeradios and town computers.
Coyle expressed con-cern that leasing equipment,which incurs an annualexpense, could be moreexpensive for the town inthe long run, as previouslyreported.
He also requested infor-mation about Parks and
Recreation staffing in com-parative, neighboring com-munities. Funding for thetown’s three full-time Parksand Recreation employeeswill be revisited at thecouncil’s next budget meet-ing.
The public hearing onthe budget and CapitalImprovement Plan is sched-uled for May 3 at 6:30 p.m.

——◆—–––Walmart returned to the
Planning Board for whatofficials believe will be thefinal time, requesting a lotline adjustment that transfersthe company’s ownership of
a small sliver of land to aneighboring development.
“Walmart returns to be agood neighbor and workthings out with BoomerWolf,” Walmart attorneyKevin O’Shea of Sullowayand Hollis told the board atits April 20 meeting.
The board voted unani-mously to adjust the smallpiece of property that runsalong the proposed drivewayof the Supercenter onAshleigh Drive, up toManchester Road. A portionof the parcel is to be given tothe town in perpetuity for
Route 28 road improve-ments.
A larger portion of thesmall sliver of land is to begiven to commercial devel-oper Boomer Wolf, which isconstructing a shopping cen-ter on Manchester Road thatis to complement the newSupercenter.
Walmart plans to installa sign for its new store inclose proximity to where the
sign was originally proposedon an easement BoomerWolf agreed to grant thecompany, according toO’Shea, who also noted thatthe town informed Walmartthe company is permitted tomaintain signage on anotherproperty.
Because the BoomerWolf development is to beclassified as a shoppingmall, O’Shea said the com-

——◆—–––Town Councilor Janet
Fairbanks filed assault char-ges against David McPher-son of Colony Brook Lanefollowing a Zoning Boardhearing last week.
Fairbanks told DerryPolice she was approachedby McPherson after themeeting, and that hegrabbed her shoulder, thenmade a comment to herregarding something thattook place at meeting,according to Police Capt.Vern Thomas.
“Police are still investi-gating and there are addi-tional witnesses to talk to before determining ifcharges will be made,”Thomas said.
Detectives have review-
ed surveillance cameras andspoken with witnesses.
McPherson said heexpressed frustration withFairbanks’April 21 adminis-trative appeal regarding ahome business operatedfrom Councilor Neil Weth-erbee’s 18 Worthley Roadhome, but said he nevertouched the councilor in aviolent manner.
“I went up (to Fairbanks)afterwards and said I hopedshe was ready to reimbursethe town for its legal fees,and that she must be a richwoman, and I left,” he said.“I told police I walked upbeside her and gentlytouched her shoulder.”
McPherson said theassault charges are “anothercase of (Fairbanks) trying tointimidate someone,” addinghe thinks Fairbanks was try-
ing to intimidate Wetherbeeand his wife by appealingCode Enforcement DirectorBob Mackey’s decision thatthey didn’t have to apply fora special exception to oper-ate a website design businessfrom home (see related storypage 1).
“This has got to stopwith her because this is outof control. I hope the TownCouncil looks into herbehavior,” McPherson said.“She tries to intimidate anddiscredit you if she doesn’tlike you. I think (Fairbanks)should resign.”
Fairbanks said “there isno excuse for what DaveMcPherson did after theZoning Meeting. No one hasthe right to put their handson another person,” regard-less of how frustrated he orshe is.
Additionally, Fairbanksnoted she pursued an appealof Mackey’s decision uponthe request of a constituent.
“How do I intimidate byfiling an appeal if I don’tagree with a decision of theCode Enforcer?” she asked.“If I choose to ask for con-sistency among zoning lawand (the board) agreesthere’s grey matter and needfor change, how is that amethod of intimidation?”
Fairbanks said McPher-son’s actions following themeeting were “intimidationagainst an elected official,”and that “he can make all theexcuses he wants, but heoverstepped boundaries.
“As long as I’m sitting(on the council) and a con-stituent makes a request, I’mgoing to act upon it. If youdon’t like what I do, then putyourself out there in 2012,”she said. “Who’s intimidat-ing whom? How am I intim-idating people by askingthem to look a little further?I have a right to question asa councilor in this town.”

——◆—–––With unanimous ap-
proval from the TownCouncil, the Derry PoliceDepartment plans to applyfor state grant money thatwould help keep dangerousdrivers off the road. PoliceCapt. Vern Thomas said pro-grams like the state High-way Safety Agency’s “NewHampshire Clique” programfor increasing enforcementof seat belt laws make a dif-ference.
“A lot of these people flyunder the radar,” Thomassaid of drivers who violatemotor safety laws. “Withdirected patrol, there’s amuch better chance of tak-ing someone off the roadthat shouldn’t be out there.”
In addition to applyingfor the state’s $3,750 seatbelt enforcement grant, thedepartment also plans toapply for a $1,875 distracteddriver grant, and a $2,250grant for participation in thestate’s intoxicated enforce-ment program. The grantswould fund 36 hours ofpatrols targeted at stoppingintoxicated drivers, 60 hoursfor seatbelt enforcement,and 30 hours for distractedand aggressive driver
enforcement.Several departments
throughout the state collabo-rated last year to organizepatrols during daily com-mute hours focused on stop-ping distracted and aggres-sive drivers, according toThomas. The patrols weresuch a success that the statedecided to provide grantmoney to facilitate and en-hance participating depart-ments’ efforts again thisyear.
Distracted and aggres-sive drivers cause most acci-dents in the state, and “pres-ent a particular danger byfailing to yield and follow-ing too closely,” accordingto Thomas.
Seatbelt enforcement pa-trols are generally conduct-ed at a busy intersectionwhere a patrol officer canstand and wave over driverswho appear to be in viola-tion. Thomas said the stopstend to be especially helpfulto parents whose childrenrefuse to stay buckled safelyin their seat. And the stopsare also effective for spread-ing the word to teen driversthat seatbelts are mandatory.
“If we pull over one highschool kid and give them aticket, you can bet that after-noon a lot of other high
school kids will be wearinga seatbelt because they gotthe message,” Thomas said.
New Hampshire requiresthat seatbelts be used by allpersons under age 18.
The state’s intoxicatedenforcement program alsoplays an important role inkeeping roads safe, accord-ing to Thomas, who notedthe patrols generally resultin improved enforcement ofmotor safety laws due to thenumber of traffic stops per-formed.
“It’s a lot of traffic stopswith a focus on DrivingWhile Intoxicated (DWI),”he said, explaining that thetargeted patrols usuallyresult in warnings and sum-monses for speeding andequipment violations inaddition to DWI violations.“There’s always somethingthat comes out of it.”
But with budgets as tightas they are, putting any extrapatrol officers on the road isdifficult. The state grantswould pay for all overtimecosts of extra officers sentout for the targeted patrols;however, costs associatedwith police cruisers utilizedwould not be subsidized.
The targeted patrols areto be completed betweenMay and September.

Newspapers being the repository ofhistory in the making that they are,they’re a good place to browse for ref-erence. And as the price of gas at thepump rises again, a “coincidence” justas the warm weather driving seasonarrives, it is interesting to note a 2009editorial we wrote about this topic.
At that time, we said, “It happensevery year, several times a year, alwaysaround holidays that involve driving,and each time gas prices rise, peoplecomplain.” Well, it’s that time again.
In that 2009 editorial, which fol-lowed a 2007 one on the same topic,we noted that pump prices were hover-ing around $4 a gallon, People began tochange their driving habits. They bun-dled trips to the store, didn’t do muchaimless cruising, and shopped andplayed closer to home.
Those changes gradually becamehabits, leaving our love affair with gasguzzlers in the dust. Indeed, the “Cashfor Clunkers” program took many ofthose vehicles off the road for good.
Now the price cycle has returned.Gas prices at the pump increase everyfew days. We’ve already seen stationscharge $3.99 per gallon.
Of course, the reasons offered forthe price rise are legion. They’re alsoold news. Refinery shutdowns. The
cost of transporting from refineries togas stations. Unease in the overseas oilfields. Oil refineries scaling back pro-duction, this time because the market isflooded with oil.
We heard most of those same tiredexcuses two years ago. And two yearsbefore that. And before that.
Consumers changed their habits,and prices continued to rise. Risingalong with them are oil company prof-its.
Let’s add some of our own reasons.How about a serious look at oil futuresspeculation. And let’s not go wild overthe need to drill, frack, and drill somemore. We still have to live here. Andremember, no one is claiming there’s ashortage of oil these days - despite theunrest in the Middle East.
Now that each of us has done whatwe can - whether it’s switching to amore fuel-efficient vehicle, drivingless, or keeping to the speed limit tosave gas - the time is overdue todemand that our elected federal offi-cials come up with answers that makesense - financial and environmentalsense - without protecting any specialinterest groups.
This is one cycle that has to be bro-ken. And that would really make histo-ry.

LettersCrosswalk Safety Concerns
To the editor:I am a concerned resi-
dent and parent. I have anissue that has nothing to dowith the budget, politics orpersonal conflicts. I am con-cerned with the safety of ourstreets.
I have a young child wholoves to play outside thistime of year. We love to goto the park, and luckily welive in walking distance tomany in town. However, Ifeel like I am risking mylife, and that of my 2-year-old daughter, every time Itry to cross a street in acrosswalk.
It does not matter if I amtrying to cross at the libraryto get to the park, or cross infront of my house to getdowntown. Nor does it mat-ter if I have a child walkingbeside me, in my arms, or ina stroller. Drivers simply donot stop! I have lived herefor several years now andsee this issue getting worsewith each passing year.
We teach our children tocarefully look both waysbefore crossing a street, andto use crosswalks. Whatgood does that do if no oneis going to stop anyway?I’ve had one too many“close calls” of people driv-ing inches in front of me andmy child as we try to crossthe street in a crosswalk.Mind you, I am very cau-tious about any street cross-ing, but it doesn’t seem tomatter. People are in toomuch of a hurry to obey thelaw.
Far too often there is atragic story in the newsabout a death of a child orserious injury because peo-ple refuse to stop for pedes-trians. This is an ongoingissue. How many childrenhave to die to get someone tostop and obey the law? Doesa tragedy have to happenhere? I sincerely hope not!
Derry should be a pedes-trian-friendly environment.
How else do you plan to getpeople to the downtownbusinesses? Let’s enforcethe law and send the mes-sage that it is simply notokay to speed by and endan-ger the lives of our childrenand residents.
I would like to see thecrosswalks surroundingdowntown repainted (thisincludes crosswalks on BirchStreet and Crystal Avenue),larger signs, and any othermeans necessary to makeour downtown safe.
In closing, please en-force the law to protect ourcitizens.

Radical Agendas
To the editor:I am writing in response
to James Foley’s letter print-ed in the April 14 edition ofthe Nutfield News. While Iapplaud Mr. Foley’s effortsto call to task those StateRepresentatives who havepromoted their own recklessagenda, I take exception tohis accusations that the for-mer Democratic majorityfocused on a “radical socialagenda” and exhibited yearsof “fiscal mismanagement.”
Under Democratic lead-ership, the high schooldropout rate dropped by 30percent, statewide kinder-garten was instituted, and astrong anti-bullying law wasvoted in. These hardly con-stitute a “radical socialagenda,” and yet the currentRepublican majority hasattempted to repeal all ofthem, in some cases suc-cessfully.
The Boston FederalReserve recently published areport titled, “How DoesNew Hampshire Do It? AnAnalysis of Spending andRevenues in the Absence ofa Broad-based Income orSales Tax.” This report indi-cates that New Hampshire’sper capita spending trails
other New England states by22 percent, and our stateappropriations are particu-larly low in the areas of pub-lic welfare, education andpensions. Interestinglyenough, this report was notgenerated solely on the basisof the past four months ofRepublican majority in thestate legislature, but in factcovers those years ofDemocratic leadership.
So with all this evidenceto the contrary, can we takeaccusations of fiscal mis-management and radicalsocial agendas seriously?Can it simply be politicalrhetoric aimed at redirectingattention away from theantics of the current statelegislature that has forcedtheir own “radical agenda,”stripped funding from strongprograms that support mid-dle class families, andremoved any protectionworkers have in the work-place?
Only you can decide. Isthis what you voted for?

In thosecases I would say I don’trequire a special exception,but if I get a complaint, wewill have to revisit it. I try tobe consistent.”
Wetherbee said after themeeting that he is not run-ning two businesses fromhis home, and that he is “fol-lowing the same rules aseveryone else.” The designoperations don’t have orneed a headquarters, and cus-tomers do not visit the fami-ly’s home on Worthley Road,according to Wetherbee.

“I recycle every bit ofsilver I use and send anyleftovers straight back to therefinery,” she said.
After denying Fair-banks’ appeal, board mem-bers agreed to review zoninglaws dealing with homebusinesses.
“Perhaps you could haveworkshops to determinewhat is required by whom,so it’s consistent across theboard,” Fairbanks said.
“It’s our responsibilitywhen we know of somethingthat needs to be clarified thatwe do so,” Virr said.

“How would you regu-late that?” member DavidThompson asked.
“That’s why I think per-haps the zoning should bechanged to reflect that ifyou’re operating a businessfrom your home and it justinvolves a computer and adesk, whether you’re seek-ing to purchase cars off theinternet or whatever, that it’sconsistency across the boardif it’s that type of home-based business,” Fairbankssaid.

——◆—–––East Derry Memorial
Elementary School started amath activity in Februarycalled Math Survivor EDMES,a school-wide program insupport of math education.
The program is designedto encourage students topractice their mental mathskills both in school and athome, with parental involve-ment a key point. Mentalarithmetic is embeddedthroughout the curriculum,rather than being taught as aseparate unit, but the teach-ers decided students couldbenefit from more practice
and some fun competitionbased on the Survivor theme.
The students were divid-ed into four tribes: RedReasoners, Blue Balancers,Green Graphers and OrangeOperators. Each tribe wasrepresented by a class fromeach grade level, and theprogram kicked off with anassembly in February.
Monthly, a Mental MathIndividual Challenge is senthome, with students able toearn up to 25 points for theirtribe by practicing mentalmath at home. The challengesheet is then turned in toeach student’s teacher on thelast school day of the month,and from there, they are
taken to the Math SurvivorTribal Council mailbox inthe office to earn points.
Periodically throughoutthe day, the TV Survivorshow’s theme song playsover the public address sys-tem, and everyone stopstheir work and practicesmental arithmetic for fiveminutes. The Tribal Councilkeeps activity kits availableand puts them in recessbags, the nurse’s office,front office, lunch room andstaff room to be borrowed.The Tribal Council alsomakes available examples ofFive Minute Activities.
At the end of March, theOrange Operators held first
place but there is plenty oftime for other tribes to moveup. The first Math Survivorphysical challenge took
place on April 22 at a TribalCouncil Meeting, with con-testants chosen from the stu-dents who returned their

——◆—–––Coach Terry Bailey’s
Pinkerton Academy softballteam found its 2011 recordsitting at 3-2 at the end oflast week, thanks to anextra-inning win overManchester Memorial and aslim loss to Alvirne during
the week.It took a full 10 innings,
but the Lady Astros man-aged to squeak out a 5-4 winover the Manchester Mem-orial Lady Crusaders in theQueen City last Wednesday,April 20.
Katelyn Erhardt drove inthe winning run with a hit inthe top half of the 10th
inning, and PA pitchingstandout Melanie Dusseaultwent the distance in the cir-cle to snag the win.
Memorial had jumpedout to a 3-0 lead in the bot-tom half of the first inning,but the PA crew put up athree-spot of its own in thetop half of the fifth inning to
Bailey’s PA Softball Bunch Bests Memorial, Falls to Alvirneknot the score.
The lead then see-sawedback and forth, with theteams still being deadlockedat 3-3 after seven full framesto force the game to extrainnings.
Both teams plated a sin-gle run in the eighth inning,and the Lady Astros finally
decided the matter withErhardt’s heroics and ashutout inning in the latterhalf of the 10th.
Britney Bernard smackedthree hits and Dusseault nabbedtwo for the victors, who movedto 3-1 with the win.
But things didn’t windup quite as positively for thegirls when they took on thetough Alvirne High Broncosof Hudson in Derry lastFriday, April 22. The finalresult was a 3-1 loss, as the
Pinkerton crew was held tojust a handful of hits.
Samantha Hennequinhad a couple of those PAsafeties and pitched a solidgame, but she and her team-mates could manage onlyone run in the bottom half ofthe fourth inning.
Heather Pelletier alsowhacked a couple of hits forthe host team, but Alvirnemoved up to 3-2 on the sea-son by driving eight hits andscoring its trio of runs.

coach Colin Walker’s Pink-erton Academy boys’volley-ball team bounced its 2011season record up to a strong3-1 with pleasing victoriesover the Keene HighBlackbirds and the Sou-hegan High Sabers fromAmherst last week.
The Astro guys snaggedtheir second victory of theseason in a 3-2 decision overKeene on the road lastTuesday, April 19.
Coach Walker’s boys gotoff to a slow start - losing
games one and two byscores of 19-25 and 22-25 -before kicking their gameinto gear and winning gamesthree through five by countsof 25-20, 25-11, and 15-5.
Ben Rees helped sparkthe comeback effort in thethree victories, finishingwith 11 kills, two blocks,and eight service points.Ryan Williams collected 31assists, two kills, nine serv-ice points (with two aces),and one block.
Cody Diehl did somekey work at the service line,notching 15 service points(with three aces) to go alongwith 17 digs. Justin Scott
PA Boys Volleyball Reaches 3-1 with Wins over Keene, Souhegancontributed nine servicepoints and eight digs, andRory Cahoon was good fornine kills.
“Tonight, the teamlearned that they can’t lookpast opponents, and thatthey need to take every teamseriously,” said coach Walk-er.
Then on Friday, April 22,at home at Pinkerton,Walker’s crew walked overthe Souhegan bunch by a 3-1 match count.
The academy side wentup 2-0 with victories of 25-22 and 25-10 in games oneand two, but the Sabers keptthe match going by battling
their way to a 25-23 win ingame three. However, thehosts put the matter to restwith a 25-16 win in gamefour.
Williams and Rees ledthe offense, with the formerbagging 26 assists, sevenkills, eight service points,and four service aces, whilethe latter claimed 15 kills,three blocks, and two assists.

——◆—––The Pinkerton Academy
baseball team has run intosome rough spots so far inits 2011 season, but coachRon Manseau’s crew navi-gated its way right to thewinning road last week.
The Astros moved theirseason record from 0-3 to 2-3 with pleasing victoriesover the Manchester Mem-orial High Crusaders and theAlvirne High Broncos ofHudson during that recentspan.
Pinkerton pitcher RyanFeeney, who had engaged ina pitching duel with a
Timberlane pitcher in theAstros’ first game of the sea-son and lost a 1-0 decision,twirled another superb gamein another 1-0 decisionagainst Memorial in Derrylast Wednesday, April 20,and this time he won in extrainnings.
What’s more, Feeneywas responsible for drivingin the winning run in thebottom half of the eighthinning when his single tocenter field plated teammateDrew Sutherland and endedthe tough contest.
Feeney pitched all eightinnings, allowing just threehits while striking out sixbatters and walking three.
Pinkerton thumped sixhits, with Feeney andSutherland each smackingtwo. PA shortstop KyleCahill played a masterfuldefensive game, turning inseveral superb plays to keepMemorial from mountingoffensive threats.
And the academy guysmade it two successes in arow with an 8-5 win overAlvirne on the road lastFriday, April 22.
Pinkerton overcame anearly 1-0 deficit by platingtwo runs in the top half of thesecond and three more in thetop of the third to go up 5-1.The visitors then tacked ontwo more runs in the top halfof the fifth to place the score
at 7-2 in their favor, and theyheld off the host Broncos’comeback attempts fromthere on. Sutherland smack-ed another two hits for thewinning side, whichthumped out 10 safeties incollecting its second win.
