Tips On Choosing A Retail Space,NAPSl-Whether vou a renegotiating a deal to I'aunch a50,OOOsquare-foot "big box" outlet

or opening a corner deli, there areseveral items to consider whenselecting your retail space,

That's the advice from RickDavidson, president and COO ofone of the largest commercial realestate companies in the world anda leading specialist in commercialretail leasing, Davidson say' fac-tors including lease rates, valueand location affect all retail busi-nesses, regardless ofsize.Davidson's company, ColdwellBanker Commercial, offers the fol-lowing tips on selecting the right~space; Consider Amenities

Look for key amenities insidethe facility and in surroundingareas that offer convenience andenticement to shoppers, Things toconsider include plazas, seatingareas and rest rooms,Physical Location

Things to look for-and thataffect rental charges-include:

o Bay Depth: the distance fromthe front of the store to the rearwalL

o Floor Area: total squarefootage,

o Signage: generally, the moreprominent the signage, the morelandlords will ask for in rent,

o "Shell" and "Skin": The shellrefers to the foundation, struc-tural support and the roof, Theskin is the outer surfacing of theshell . Skin options include brick,glass or synthetic stucco.Other factors include windows,

Small and large businesses needto consider many of the same fac-tors when selecting retail space,parking, security/safety featuresandHVAC.

LeasesConsider which lease type isbest for you. In a gross lease, thelandlord provides all services andthe tenant is responsible for rentonly, In a net lease, the tenant paysmost ofthe expenses. In a percent-age lease, lease costs are based on apercentage of the sales/success ofthe site. Finally, in a ground lease,the tenant pays for "bare ground"location and is responsible for itsown improvements,Know Your Market

Learn about an area's currentmarket conditions forretail, popula-tion levels, income and employmentlevels, anticipated local growth andtraffic patterns, among otherthings, Also, make sure your busi-ness is compatible with the needsand desires of the local area-andthat there are not too many otherstores offering the same goods andservices that you do.

r~Volume IX- Farmington Middleton School District

Superintendent's MessageMarch ~ April 2012

[Mind, N. A mysterious 1'01111 of matter secreted by the brain. Its chief activity consists inthe endeavor to ascertain its own nature. the futility of the attempt being due to the factthat it has nothing but itself to know itself with.]

Ambrose Bierce, The Devils DictionarvIf schools are to be regarded as learning communities, everyone in a school or district must engage in the studyof what constitutes learning. Om vision oflifelong learning for students can hold greater meaning if teachersand administrators also have an ongoing conversation to improve their talents and skills, this is also inclusive ofparents and community. This is exactly what is happening here in Farmington. With the assistance from GreatSchool and Southeastern Regional Education Service Center (SERESC), we are moving forward to improvesrudent learning and creating a sense of community in and outside our schools.The importance of good teachers is no secret and there are many right here in Farmington. New HampshireSchools and their communities have always sought out the best teachers they could get in the belief that theirstudents' success depends on it. This is exactly what the Board and administrators in Farmington are doing andhave done in the past and will continue to do in future years. You can bet your "bottom dollar" that we havesome of the best teachers and paraprofessionals I have ever been associated with in all of my years in education.Teacher quality is essential ifnot the most important component to student learning. More than two decades ofresearch findings are unequivocal about the connection between teacher quality and student learning. Indeed.What Matters Most: Teaching for America's Future (1996), the influential report of the National Commissionon Teaching and America' s Future, made teaching the core of its "three simple premises" in its blueprint forreforming the nations' schools. They are:

What teachers know and can do is the most important influence on what students learn. Recruiting, preparing. and retaining good teachers is the central strategy for improving our schools. S C h O l " \ ! reform cannot succeed unless if focuses on creating the conditions under which teachers canteach and teach well.

Gauging the effect of teachers on student achievement is and has been under meta-analysis for some time. Themost compelling evidence for the importance of teaching came initially from economists who adapted value-added models from business to measure the effect of teachers on student learning. While the statistical methodsare complex. the definition of effective teaching is not. Simply. researchers looked for the change in students'test SCOI't's according to the teacher they were assigned to. A highly effective teacher. therefore, is one whosestudents show the 1110stgains from one year to the next. By using this approach, researchers are able to isolatethe effect of the teacher from other factors related to student performance, for example, students' prior academicrecord or the school they attended. o


5/16

From what I have extracted from various research studies over the years, three important factors of the impactgood teaching has 011 student learning is listed, but not limited to the following:

The effect of teaching on student learning is greater than student ethnicity or family income, schoolattended by student. or class size. The effect is stronger for poor and/or minority students than for their more affluent and/or white peers,although all groups benefit from effective teachers.

The effects accumulate over years.Questions still remain for research to answer. But as I have outlined for all that read this article, there is alreadyenough evidence to show. that good teachers are vital to raising student achievement and closing theachievement gaps. We do have good if not many great teachers.For those of you that attended the School Board Meeting on Monday, February 20,2011, the results are evident.We are moving forward based on the results of the recent NECAP Scores for the Farmington School District.These are not significant gains, but gains nonetheless. These results with more elaborate explanation will beforthcoming in our local (Fosters) newspaper. One must remember NECAP is only one measure of studentperformance. Student success is not always measured by one assignment. Teachers assess student'sperformance on a daily basis which does measure abilities such as, but not limited to the following:

Technology Class Presentation Athletics Fine Arts

Few topics in education have captured as much attention from policy makers and practitioners as the connectionbetween teaching quality and student achievement. The research has clearly shown that quality teaching marterstostudent learning. Teacher quality has been consistently identified as the most important school-based factor instudent achievement, and teacher effects on student learning have been found to be cumulative and long lasting.Holding on to our workforce of high-quality teachers is a challenge not only in Farmington, but other districtsas well. One-third ofK-12 teachers leave the profession within their first three (3) years on the job and almosthalf leave within the first five (5) years. Moreover, the rate at which new teachers exit the profession has beenincreasing steadily over the last fifteen (15) years. To further exacerbate this situation, attrition rates are higheramong: certified teachers, teachers with higher test scores, those with more experience, and teachers that serveminority and lower-achieving students.With all that I have said, I strongly urge the "Farmington Community" to come out in support of the wonderfulworkforce we have here in Farmington. Please support all of our contracts in the March vote.

This being my final Superintendent's Message, I want to say it has been an honor and a privilege to have hadthe opportunity to serve the Farmington students, parents, teachers, Selectmen, Budget Committee, and SchoolBoard. I hope that I have made a positive change in all of your lives. You all have given me hope and belief inmyself and fo r all of you as well. Again, thank you for letting me serve you.Educationally yours,Dr. Frank L. MellaciSuperintendent - SAU 61

HENRY WILSON ESSAY CONTEST RESULTS2012 MARKED THE 200TH anniversary of Farmington-born Henry Wilson, ISthVice

President of the United States, serving under U.S. Grant.The Farmington Historical Society and the Rochester Times co-sponsored an essay contest

for grades 4-8. There were no entries from grades 7 &8, but many fine essays from the othergrades. The Puddledock Press will feature the winning entries beginning this month with

, the 2 First Place winners.Thanks also to judges: Sally Cocco, Katherine Pixley, Dottie Bean and John Nolan.

Grades 4=5 First Place Winner of $25- Megan ToddI do think Henry Wilson should have become better known in American history. When I first

heard about him. All I knew was that our school was names after him.Wilson was in many "parties", some that helped end slavery and some with different meanings.

Wilson was a general, a vice president and many more things. He helped lead the "picnicbattle"too.To me it feels like Wilson spent almost his whole life trying to stop slavery. He wrote bill after

bill after bill trying to stop it. He spent a lot of time trying to end slavery and I think that's justone of the reasons why he should have been better known in history. Another reason why isbecause he was a Vice-President. Everyone knows all the other Vice Presidents but HenryWilson.That is why I think Henry Wilson should have been better known in history.

Grade6-First Place Winner of $25- Micheala GroatWho do you think Henry Wilson was? Henry Wilson was born as Jeremiah Jones Colbath in

Farmington, New Hampshire on February 16, 1812. In 1833 he legally changed his name toHenry Wilson. IN 1833 he also moved to Natick, Massachusetts and became a shoemaker. Heattended local academies and also taught in Natick and eventually advanced in the manufactureof shoes. Wilson married Harriet Malvina Howe in 1840. He became a member of the statelegislature in 1841 to 1852. Henry Wilson was a candidate for election to Congress in 1852 butwas unsuccessful; at his job. Wilson's life resembles a Charles Dickens novel. Like Pip in thebook, "Great Expectations", he overcame a childhood of privation.When Henry Wilson was ten years old, his father apprenticed him to a farmer making him

work until his 21stbirthday. Lacking good education, he read every book in the farmhouse. As afactory-owner in the shoe business, he was able to build a spectacular house for his family and todevote his attention more fully to civic affairs. During the 1830-s and 1840's, the Whigs ran himfor the state legislature. In the Senate, Henry Wilson was compared with his scholarly seniorcolleague from Massachusetts, Charles Sumner. Charles was against slavery.Despite their different backgrounds and personalities, Wilson and Sumner agreed strongly on

their opposition to slavery. During the 1850's, Henry Wilson fought from the minority. HenryWilson soon became a member of Radical Republicans in Congress beside Charles Sumner,Benjamin Wade, Thaddeus Stevens and Henry Davis. He introduced bills that freed slaves in theDistrict of Columbia, permitted African Americans to join the Army. He added that equal payto black and white soldiers will be provided. Henry Wilson was the 18thVice President of theUnited States.Jeremiah Jones Colbath died in November 22.1875. He was the son of a farmer and wasn't a

school for more than twelve months. He lived and died poor, and left to his countrymen t h Demory on an honorable public service. . I. j
