WMUR’s Josh Judge
Visits PES,
Filmed for NH Chronicle
In a fun question-and-answer session, Judge invites fourth graders to come up to the
microphone and ask questions
by Karen Plumley
A recent visit to Pelham Elementary
School (PES) by WMUR Channel 9
meteorologist Josh Judge was taped
for an episode of NH Chronicle, and
will be aired on Monday, November
30. During the visit, Judge spoke
with fourth graders in the gymnasium
about what it was like to be a
meteorologist on TV. The children
were fascinated to learn about the
details of news production, and just
what makes a weatherman tick.
In his presentation, Judge
explained that on the days he gives
the weather forecast, he has to
get up really early—about 1:30
in the morning. He talked about
what types of subjects he needed
to study in college to become a
meteorologist (science and math),
and also discussed how important
modern computer models are in
forecasting future storms, snow,
and rain. Additionally, Judge
offered an amusing, pre-taped short
demonstrating the details of making
a TV weather report.
During a question-and-
answer session that lasted a full
30 minutes, Judge fielded many
questions prepared by eager students
wanting to learn more about his
job and field of interest. Questions
ranged from what the difference is
between sleet and freezing rain, to
whether or not he gets nervous when
he is on TV. Children asked about
the worst storm he ever predicted
(the ice storm of December 2008),
why he likes being a meteorologist,
and what his favorite weather tool is
(radar).
Fourth-grade teacher Jill Karwacki
arranged the visit with Josh Judge for
the students, and was pleased with
the outcome. “The program tied in
well with the fourth grade weather/
water cycle curriculum, and kids
could really relate to the discussion
of the local forecast,” Karwacki
noted. “The most exciting part of the
whole thing was when the kids were
able to interview Mr. Judge and ask
questions. He did such a great job
making his answers understandable

This program was inspired by Max’s Words
by Kate Banks. We’ll collect words and
pictures from magazines, catalogs, etc. Then
we’ll glue the words and pictures onto paper
to create a story. Older children can create
a longer story while the younger children,
with the help of their parents, can simply
use the pictures to tell their story or they can
use words also if they wish. This is a very
flexible program so that the kids can express
themselves using a mixture of printed words
and pictures, plus their own writing and/or
drawing skills to create a unique story.

Memorial Bridge

It has been nine years since
legislation authorizing the construction
of a bridge connecting both sides of the
Merrimack River in the vicinity of the
Manchester-Boston Regional Airport
and the Everett Turnpike was signed by
former Governor Jeanne Shaheen. The
date of that occasion was December
7, 2000, in recognition of the bombing
of Pearl Harbor; an event that brought
the United States into World War II
and, as was said by President Franklin
Roosevelt, to be “a day which shall live
in infamy.”
Now, almost a decade later, the
new span across the Merrimack is to
be officially dedicated as the Pearl
Harbor Survivors Memorial Bridge. A
ceremony in honor of this dedication is

FIRST LEGO Team Earns Spot in State Finals Cooking

submitted by Wanda Rice

with Annibale Todesca

On Saturday, November 21, the Windham Wizards
FIRST LEGO League team competed in a regional
competition at Daniel Webster College in Nashua. The
theme of this year’s competition was transportation-
related, and was called Smart Moves. They earned first
place in Robot Design and a spot at the State Finals at
Bedford High School in Bedford on December 6. In the
Robot Design portion of the competition, teams meet with
judges to describe and demonstrate their robots, missions,
and programming. Teams are also judged on a research
project. The Wizards chose to study the transportation of
children through the hot lunch line at Windham Center
School. They interviewed lunch and school staff and
surveyed students as part of their research. Then, they
suggested solutions to speed up the lunch line. Teams
are also judged on their teamwork abilities in a specific
teamwork challenge and in the other aspects of the
competition. The Wizards team consists of eight boys
between the ages of 8 and 11 who are students in the
Windham School District. The Wizards’ corporate sponsor
this year is Acme Packet of Burlington, MA. We wish them
luck at the State Finals, where we hope to see them work
their magic again!

I created this dish with the flavor of my native country. It can

be made to your taste.
Pan fry shrimp in extra virgin olive oil. Add spicy hot pepper
(as desired). When the shrimp is cooked on one side, slice
garlic and add it to the shrimp. Turn the shrimp and add roasted
tomatoes. Add half of a squeezed lemon to pan. Add two
tablespoons of marinara sauce, chopped basil, salt and pepper.
Take two slices of bread and paint it with extra virgin olive oil;
toast the bread on an open flame. Place the bread on a plate and
add shrimps and toppings. Buon Appetito

Support Center for Domestic United Van Lines

Violence and Save on Laser Services
For the past 25 years, the Jeanne
Geiger Crisis Center in Newburyport has
been offering a growing list of services
to not only support victims of domestic
violence, but also to educate members of
the community so that we can all come
together to end domestic violence. Their
services are designed to help victims
through the process—from helplessness
to hopefulness. The Center’s goal is to
empower people to live free from fear,
intimidation, violence, or the threat of
abuse by providing support, advocacy, and
education. Some of the services offered
include:
• A confidential, 24-hour crisis hotline
• One-on-one counseling
• Support groups with childcare
• Help obtaining restraining
orders
• Legal and court advocacy
• Emergency shelter
• Children’s counseling and
support groups
• Teen dating violence
education
• Community outreach and
education
• High Risk Response Teams—
collaborations with local
police departments
• Legal representation by staff or
pro bono attorneys
• Customized training and
curriculum development
In 2008, the Jeanne Geiger
Crisis Center served 978 victims
of domestic violence. While
it costs $22,000 per week to
keep their doors open, state
and federal funding provides
less than 45 percent of the
finances needed to provide
services. Your donation will be
greatly appreciated, especially
during this holiday season, in
light of the current economic
environment.

Stop, look, and listen your way into stress-free entertaining

Shhh! Don’t look now, but
the days are getting shorter and
the holidays will be here before
you know it. This year, when
you turn the pages on your
calendar, have no fear. Holiday
entertaining at home can be
as easy as pie if you remember
what your mother taught you
when crossing the street: Stop.
Look. And listen. The same les-
son applies to entertaining.
Stop the madness. The biggest
obstacle to easier entertaining
is a Pollyanna perception of the
perfect party. Even some of the
youngest hostesses remember
stories of days gone by where
the hostess comes out of the
kitchen, looking like a cover
girl, bringing out tray after tray
of homemade appetizers and
desserts that she’s slaved over
for weeks. Thankfully, the
reality is the world of entertain-
ing has changed significantly.
With a little attitude adjustment
combined with some simple
planning, every gathering is a
great opportunity to connect
with those who should be the
main focus of the party: your
guests. Focus on what they love
and you’ll win every time.
Look for ways to make your
guests feel special. We can
all agree that it’s nice to be
treated special. Your guests are
no different. Whether it’s an
impromptu gathering at your
house after a school concert
or a full-blown dinner party,
it’s always good to keep a few
holiday treats on hand, ready to
use at a moment’s notice.
Check your pantry and freez-
er. Do you have plenty of holi-
day snacks, ready to heat and
serve? How about some special
holiday treats, like scrump-
tious cheese and sausage trays
and delectable desserts? The
Swiss Colony has been helping
hostesses offer exceptionally
entertaining holiday treats for
80 years, helping to make every
visitor feel like an honored
guest. In addition to the tried
and true, try something new.
Offer bite-size pieces of many
different taste sensations. Rule
of thumb: figure 10 appetizers/
bite-sized desserts per person.
Sometimes a few minutes spent
online at www.swisscolony.com
can save you untold hours of
preparation time and stress—al-
lowing you more time to spend
with your loved ones. Stock
plenty of good coffee, sparkling
water, wine, and beer, and
you’ll be in good shape.
And the results: just take a
look at the empty platters at the
end of the night and the smiles
on everyone’s faces. Now that’s
entertaining.
Listen to your guests and
to your inner voice. Whether
you’re trying to entice your
guests to try something new, or
ensure they have their favor-
ite taste of the holiday on the
menu when they’re visiting, or
even listening for that special
tip on what to get them if the
next holiday gathering is at their
home, it always pays to listen. If
your guest raves about a certain
treat or flavor, make a note
of it and add it to your list of
potential host gifts. If the party
moves to someone else’s home,

and you’re fresh out of wine, a
great holiday gift basket with
hand-decorated sweets, flavored
cheeses, or delicious pastries
might be just the ticket. There
are lots of ways to simplify en-
tertaining and stay within your
budget. A little browsing can do
wonders.
So this year, when the
thought of entertaining starts to
make you nervous, remember
that hospitality isn’t about the
house, the food or the decora-
tions. It’s about the richness of
the moments spent with family
and friends. Sit back and enjoy.

Time-saving tips for an

enjoyable holiday
The holiday season is a time to spend with friends and family, but
is very often characterized by the need for a lot of multi-tasking.
Here are four easy-to-follow tips to help you smooth out your to-do
list and make the most out of the holidays this year.
1. Home decorating in a snap. To make decorating easy, purchase
decorations that are pre-lit, easy to hang, and require little-to-no
assembly. When the holidays are over, be sure to neatly organize
all of the decorations in weather-proof storage containers. This will
guarantee all of your decorations remain intact, orderly, and acces-
sible for next year.
2. Dress to impress. Instead of taking time out of your schedule
to bring clothes to the dry cleaner, press clothes at home by using
a quality product such as the Rowenta Pressure Iron and Steamer.
Its versatility and simple-to-use design allows you to use stron-
ger steam for heavy materials or a lighter touch for those delicate
household items. The iron delivers professional steaming results so
you can quickly press your holiday linens and formalwear just in

without having to take them to the cleaners,” says “The Queen of
Steam,” Barbara Zagnoni. “When you need to save time and money,
the best way to care for your linens is to take care of them at home.”
For immaculate ironing down to the smallest detail, there is the

3. Shop with ease. There are often many gifts to purchase and
little time to shop. This year, take your holiday shopping online and

4. Meal preparation. For a spin on the traditional dinner, ask
guests to bring one food item—preferably something they are
known for making really well. Then, invest in some easy-to-prepare Keurig
appetizers or desserts at the grocery store. Spend an hour the night Coffee Makers
before the party prepping your dish and you’ll find yourself with only $99.95

The holidays should be about

PUTTING YOU ON THE RIGHT TRACK

Gymnasts Advance to State Championships
submitted by Cathy Robertson-Souter
The girls’ competitive gymnasts from
Windham’s Gym-Ken Gymnastics showed
their strengths at the statewide sectional
competition last weekend in Brentwood.
Of the team, nearly all the girls completed
the requirements to advance to the State
Championship meet in December.
In competitive gymnastics, each girl must
earn a total score of 31.00 or higher at a
qualifying meet to attend the sectional meet.
At sectionals, a gymnast must earn a 33.00 in

of requirements, including such small details
as their hand, foot, and arm placement, on
each of the four events: vault, bars, beam,
and floor.
The three levels attending the sectional
meet, Levels 4, 5, and 6, each have their own
routines with skills of ascending difficulty.

Reverend Paul F. Ruzzo
On Nov. 23, 2009, the Reverend Paul F. Ruzzo was called to his rest
and to the glory of the Resurrection promised by the Lord. He was 53
years old.
Father Ruzzo was born on Sept. 7, 1956, in Dorchester, MA, where
he grew up and was educated, and was very active at St. Margaret’s
Church.
Father Paul was ordained a priest on April 30, 1983. He was
assigned as associate pastor of Saint Paul Parish in Franklin in June
1983 and then as associate pastor of Saint Joseph Cathedral Parish in
Manchester in October 1986. In January 2002, he served as associate
pastor of Saint Joseph Parish, Dover. In June 1990, Father Ruzzo
was appointed pastor of Saint Francis of Assisi Parish in Litchfield. In
July 2005, he was appointed pastor of Mary, Queen of Peace Parish
in Salem and in September 2008, as pastor of Saint Patrick Parish in
Pelham.
Father Ruzzo had served as chaplain to many police and fire
departments. Among them, the Manchester Fire Department, Hooksett
Police Department, Dover Fire Department, Salem Police Department
and the Pelham Fire and Police Departments. He served as chaplain
to Manchester Council #92, Knights of Columbus, State Chaplain to
the Catholic War Vets, chaplain at St. Joseph Regional Junior High
School, and served as Regional Director for New England Region
of the Federation of Fire Chaplains and Chaplain to the Professional
Obituary
Fire Fighters Association of New Hampshire. Father Paul was a very
enthusiastic participant for the Exceptional Citizens Week at Camp
Fatima in Gilmanton. He enjoyed traveling and trips to Atlantic City,
NJ, and Las Vegas, NV. He will be missed by many.
On Nov. 27, a wake was held at Saint Patrick Church, Pelham where
the Rite of Reception of the Body took place. On Nov. 28, the Most
Reverend John B. McCormack, Bishop of Manchester, presided at a
Mass of Christian Burial at Saint Joseph Cathedral in Manchester. The
Rite of Committal was celebrated after Mass at Saint Joseph Cemetery
in Bedford.
Father Paul was predeceased by his parents, Pasquale J. and Ann F.
(Walsh) Ruzzo.
Father Ruzzo is survived by his brother, Robert M. and his wife
Susan Ruzzo of Melrose, MA; two sisters, Sister Maryanne Ruzzo,
SC of Melrose, and Jeanmarie and her husband Brendan Browne of
Dorchester, MA; nephew and nieces, Patrick Ruzzo, and Jennifer and
Emily Browne; aunts, Gilda Monahan of Cherry Hill, NJ, and Dorothy

“Thumbs down to the Democratic candidates
running to fill the Kennedy seat. Their ad
campaigns are very misleading placing all the
blame on Wall St. for the market crash. Let’s be
clear about this America, Government caused the
market crash. Specifically the Democrats caused
the crash. Or I should say, the Democrats were in
the drivers seat when this all happened and they
could have stopped it. Relaxing of mortgage loan
criteria, complete lack of oversight with Fannie
Mae and no regulators put in place to oversee
the market. That’s what caused the crash. I’m still
waiting for the penalty phase. There are several
congressman and senators who should be in jail
for their lack of responsibility and lack of action.
Why isn’t the former CEO of Fannie Mae in jail?
Why isn’t the head of the congressional finance
committee in jail? Don’t be fooled America! If
I were still living in mass, thank god I’m not, I
would not support these candidates.”

pre-season schedule with a home scrimmage
against Conant on Monday. After practicing for
a week, the Pythons finally got a chance to apply
the things they had been working on in practice to
a game situation. They moved the ball well and
attacked the basket aggressively on the offensive
end throughout the contest. From the beginning,
they used their full-court press to pressure their
opponent and speed up the pace of the game.
This year, the team features smaller players,
but also ones who are more athletic. The
overall athleticism of the Pythons is one of their

it did not do last season. The Pythons return a
strong core, which includes seven players from
last year’s team. Jacqui Perry, Nicole Masticouris,
Katie Halpin, and Sarah DeBaldo are the returning
seniors on the team. Bri Trainor, Alex Catalano,
and Amanda Blake all return as juniors. Eight new
players, which include two sophomores and six
freshmen, will also join them.
In order to be successful this season, Pelham

Powers has decided to implement a new system,
in which his players will use their quickness and
stamina to create an up-tempo style of play.

able to run up-tempo well,” the fifth-year head
coach said. “Creating turnovers on defense will
also lead to better looks offensively.”
Pelham looks to improve on a 4-12 record from
effectively maintain an up-and-down style of play,
the team must be able to control the boards in
order to quickly start the fast break on offense.
Players on the team will also need to be able to
consistently hit the outside shot, but also work the
ball around and create good looks in transition
when they are not shooting well, Powers said.
