by S. Aaron ShamshoyanA proposed town-operating budget for
2015 would cut four firefighters and theentire recreation department, along with otherpositions if approved by selectmen.
Town Manager Keith Hickey presented hisproposed budget late last month, telling theboard staffing reductions were necessary tomeet budget goals they previously set.
Hickey said he was tasked to create abudget with no more than a one-percent taxrate increase and include a three-percentincrease for road funding.
The increase, raising the town portion of
the tax rate to $7.19 per thousand from $7.12,would add $273,224 to the operating fund,but $138,000 would be put toward roads.
Additional money needed for winterweather operations, rising health costs, andbridge bond payments forced Hickey topropose personnel cuts.
The fire department would lose fourfirefighters under the proposal, reduce theadministrative secretary in the communitydevelopment department to part time, anddisband the recreation department entirely.
If approved, Hickey said residents wouldnotice a change. He said the reductions,“will reduce the services this community isprovided.”
The cuts wouldn’t be the first in recentyears, as the board has favored cutting staffannually.
Hickey recounted positions which wereeliminated or outsourced over the pastfew years including outsourcing the ITdepartment, reduction of police prosecutors,funding three resource officers through theschool district, reduction in clerks and the
retirement of the chief building official.“We’ve seen an increased workload on
the remaining staff people,” Hickey toldthe board, adding they so far were able tomaintain services.
“2015 is a very different scenario,” he said,noting the entire recreation department wouldbe removed.
Hickey said reducing police officers shouldnot be considered as the 62 officers handle arelatively high amount of offenses comparedto surrounding towns.
Portsmouth has 61 officers, Derry has56, and Londonderry has 70, Hickey said,
adding each department handles about 1,000offenses annually, but Salem handles doublethat.
“I couldn’t justify reducing the police,” hesaid, noting the department has been reducedin the past.
“You’re now getting into core services thatwill impact residents of the community.”
Looking at roadwork, Hickey said Salemspends about three-times the amount of othercommunities annually. He said that levelof spending on roads would require staffingreductions to meet selectmen guidelines forthe $4.65 million article.
Selectman Michael Lyons, representativeto the Road Stabilization Committee, saidthe program was necessary to reconstructneglected roads.
“We have the largest road program in thestate,” he said. “We’re not going to build aroad wrong.”
Lyons said the comparison to other townswasn’t completely foretelling, as pavementcondition was not noted.
Hickey said road funds were neglected
until the mid-2000s when a new masterplan was established; adding previouslyroad reconstruction and maintenance wassignificantly underfunded.
“We’re starting to sacrifice other services todig ourselves out of that hole,” Hickeys said.
The proposal would also cut funding forCART services in town, potentially forcing theorganization to close.
Hickey said, despite his proposal, herecommended the four firefighters’ positionsbe funded along with the recreationdepartment at a total cost of $627,265.
“In my mind, those positions in that
department are critical,” Hickey said, addingthe cost would mean six cents on the tax rate.
He said negotiations with five unions couldmean a reduction to the budget, but thosenumbers wouldn’t be known until January.
Selectmen agreed with Hickey the positionsshould be added back to the budget, butchose not to take any action that night.
Chairman Pat Hargreaves told boardmembers a motion would not be entertainedto reinstate the positions proposed forelimination during the meeting and thatselectmen needed to spend time reading overthe proposed budget book before making achange.
“I got a funny feeling we’re going to getflooded by CART,” Hargreaves said.
Selectman Everett McBride agreed.“You’re not going to sell this budget booktonight.”
The board is conducting a comprehensivereview of each department before final voteson the budget, which then heads to thebudget committee for review.

On Sunday, September28, at 2 p.m., family,friends, and members ofFirst Congregational Churchof Salem will celebrate theinstallation of their settledpastor, Rev. Eric Redard.
The search to locatea pastor for a UCCcongregation using theprocesses in place with theNH UCC conference is onethat is done slowly, seriously, and with intention thatholds a significant responsibility to find the right spiritualleader of a congregation. The Pastoral Search Committeewas formed in February/March of 2013, and the searchto find Rev. Redard took approximately 14 months. Hestarted with First Congregational Church on August 1,2013.
Rachel York, a member of the Pastoral SearchCommittee that brought Rev. Redard to FCC-Salem,
recalls her first impression. “I was the one to initiallycall Eric.” She was thrilled when she called him, andhis response was, “I was wondering when you guyswould call.” Rachel said that Eric struck her as someonewho was easy to talk to, enthusiastic, and genuine. Shewas hopeful and excited, and thought, “this is how it issuppose to feel.”
Fred Hutchinson said, “I knew we had found theright person in the first 10 minutes of the interview. Noother candidate came close to the impression he madeimmediately.”
During his first year, Rev. Redard has made stepstoward change at First Congregational Church. Onhis first Thanksgiving with his congregation, he led hisparishioners to open the doors of the church and toprovide a Thanksgiving dinner to all those who hadnowhere to go on Thanksgiving Day. This event wasn’t
just for the people who came, but for those that cooked,planned, and attended, as all the preparations involvedfellowship and coming together to show God’s love.More recently, he is leading the church in a “Year of
Prayer.” Each parishioner volunteers to pray for FCC-Salem one day a month. In addition, he helped guide thefirst Youth Group mission trip in many years to NYC.
The other new initiative that began in September of2013 was the “Good News Mystery Box.” Each montha child/youth is chosen to take the box home and put anobject in the box. On Good News Mystery Box Sunday,Rev. Eric tries to guess what is inside the box, and oncethe box is opened, he provides a child/youth moment onhow that object connects or reminds us of our faith. Thisis a new favorite among the parishioners as everyonecannot wait to see what is in the box, and if the children/ youth will “stump” the pastor.
Rev. Eric told a small group of parishioners over thesummer, “My intention was to go to another setting. Myplans were complete. I was going somewhere else.However, I decided to go to the interview, after discussingit with a close friend. A feeling came over me as soon as Istepped into the sanctuary, I knew I was home.”
There is a line from a song called, “Help Somebody.”by Van Zant, and the line says, “If you want to hear Godlaugh, tell him your plans.” I can only imagine God’ssmile as Rev. Redard ascended the steps to the sanctuaryat FCC-Salem for the first time.
The parishioners at FCC-Salem are elated that Rev.Redard has become their pastor, teacher, and spiritualleader. He is their gift from God for a new beginning.A new beginning that includes strengthening theirrelationship with God, each other, and the surroundingcommunity.
First Congregational Church in Salem invites thecommunity to Rev. Eric Redard’s installation on September28 at 2 p.m., 15 Lawrence Rd., Salem. You can also meetRev. Redard at his “Out of Office” hours at the BarkingBean on Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. As Rev. Ericlikes to say, “no matter who you are or where you are onlife’s journey, you are welcome here.”

Devils Winter Percussion Ensemble wassingled out by Spirit of America WinterPercussion Ensemble (Cape Cod, Mass.)to take the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Inaddition, The Salem High Marching Bandand Color Guard have been called outby Marshwood High School MarchingBand (directed by Salem alumni DavidGraichen) to take the challenge.
The students, with the endorsement ofboth Band President Lexi Warner and Vice
President Gregg Casazza, gladly acceptedboth challenges and after completing theirevening rehearsal they took the icy plunge.Thanks to their efforts, the groups raisedmore than $420 for ALS research.
Part of the ALS undertaking is tochallenge others and so the band has nowcalled out the Salem JROTC. The JROTChas accepted and will take the challenge ata later date.
A little surprise happened to the band atthis challenge. Prior to the rehearsal theband members had filled the buckets withthe idea that the water would be relativelywarm. But, to their chillingsurprise, just before thewater was poured on them,the SHS Parents Music Clubadded the required amountof ice to each bucket.This made the Ice Bucketchallengeofficial.

SGC Yard of Month AwardeeTurned Basketball Court into a Backyard Oasis
submitted by Lisa Dumont The Salem Garden Club recently awarded its September Yard of the Month honors
to Dolores and Raymond Raincourt, whose garden graces the corner of Bridge andRobertson streets.
The Raincourts’ backyard was once a basketball court and is now a yard full ofKnockout, Rugosa and Fairy roses, as well as various perennial and annual flowers.The garden, which encompasses the entire back yard also, has three water features.Raincourt calls his wife an artist who drew out her vision for the yard 30 years ago.They’ve been working on making it a reality, bit by bit ever since.
In August, Yard of the Month honors went to Janice Hart of Harmony Lane. The
Harts have been in their home since 1997 and started creating gardens immediately,and have extended the gardens continually ever since. Their various vignettes eachhave ornamental objects for additional interest. Many of the treasures originated atthe local landfill and have been rejuvenated.
The prestigious award has been presentedmonthly, from May to October, for several years, toresidential gardens that meet the list of SalemGarden Club criteria. “It is always a pleasure torecognize someone for the hard work and creativitythat goes into creating a beautiful yard,” statedMeta Karpowicz, committee member.
The Salem Garden Club is always on the lookoutfor candidates for the Yard of the Month andwelcomes you to call Meta at 893-3297 if youwould like your yard to be considered or knowsomeone who would make a good candidate.

by Bob GibbsThe Democratic Coordinated Campaign opened their office on
Saturday at 389 Main Street across the street from what used to be
the Green Barn Restaurant, a well-known Salem landmark. Joining the opening festivities was Congresswoman Annie Kuster,who is running for her second term in New Hampshire’s SecondCongressional District. The second district consists of the entirewestern half of the state of Massachusetts, along Vermont and up tothe Canadian border.
A crowded office filled with more than 40 voters and campaignworkers got to listen to several of the candidates as well asCongresswoman Kuster. Among the speakers were Joe Plaia, whorunning for county attorney. Among Plaia’s campaign promiseswere to keep Rockingham County safe and to restore integrity to thecounty attorney’s office.
Announcing her write-in campaign for state representative wasformer Salem Selectman Beth Roth. Also at the event was RobinMcLane running for Executive Council from District 3 and fromAtkinson, State Rep candidate Kay Galloway.
Announcing his write-in campaign for state senator was RichardO’Shaughnessy. The well-known Salemite stated that he decidedto get into the campaign because he “feared for his grandchildren.With the direction the country was going (he) needed to runfor office.” He said that “the Republicans don’t believe in the
environment, don’t believe in global warming, and don’t like publicschool teachers. They (the Republicans), O’Shaughnessy stated,want to create charter schools where the kids wear ties and pocketprotectors and are taught the Constitution, 2nd amendment first.”He went on to say “the Republicans are without tolerance and don’tlike the change in the demographic of our country.”
Democratic Coordinated CampaignFocuses on Keeping NH in the BlueThe campaign office will be open through the
general election, November 5, and they are alwayslooking for volunteers to make phone calls. As thecampaign states, “All of our candidates face a toughrace this election cycle as we fight to keep NewHampshire blue.”

Nourish your Spirit at Mary, Queen of Peace Watching the news on TV and reading the newspaper, I’m becoming more
and more convinced that there is a lot of confusion, frustration, fear and anxietyin our country. At our church here in Salem, we’ve been recently contacted
by homeless young people in their 20s and 30s, many of whom have been“divorced” by their families. Couples that I thought would have marriages thatwould last for a lifetime, have split and gone their separate ways with confusedchildren wondering why. Others seem to be on a path to self-destruction withdrugs and other addictions. If our country were a ship, I would wonder ifwe have a faulty compass or a loose rudder that is causing us to be off course.
Actually, I am convinced that this is true. Something is missing inside that iscausing so many to be lost in the wilderness ... even while they’re in the midstof a crowd or the center of a party. What’s missing is the compass placed in usat birth that is supposed to direct our lives; it’s God’s spirit without which life is
just a series of random events, random highs and lows. We try to fill that voidwithin us with almost everything we can imagine but only one presence makesus whole: God’s spirit.
Our church’s response to this need is to offer an experience through whichpeople can come to answer for themselves such questions as: What is themeaning of life? Does God really care about me? Is there a purpose or plan formy life? What does the message of Jesus have to do with any of this? It startson September 21 (5 to 8 p.m.) and runs for seven weeks at our Mary, Queen ofPeace campus. It includes nourishment for your bodies as well as your spirits.Call me at 560-4484 or e-mail me and I’ll sign you up. We need to know soonif you plan to attend so that we can plan for food and childcare.

University, California, a beautiful blonde angel who also happened to be at thevery top of her class of nursing students beginning their final year of studies andregular Stanford Hospital shifts. She was not just another aspiring nurse wholike many of us during our confusing and complicated younger years may ormay not follow through on what seems at the time to be our chosen career paths.On the contrary, Kristina was a young woman driven by an intense, early-developed altruistic nature for others that would make our strife-filled worlda beautifully unrecognizable place if it could be bottled and distributed to thegeneral population. She had begun regularly donating blood at age 15, signedher organ donor card on her eighteenth birthday, and always knew that she wasgoing to be a nurse: it wasn’t just the means to an end for her, but an ab soluteimperative.
On September 22, 2013, Kristina was riding to her student apartment from
the university library at around 11 p.m. when her bicycle was struck frombehind by an SUV driven by then 19-year-old Riley Hoover. Despite carryingher 120 feet and leaving her bicycle an additional 210 feet from the point ofimpact Hoover sped off towards his apartment complex. He was arrested thereless than half hour later, and subsequent tests showed that his blood/alcohol
count at the time of accident was 0.33, over four times the legal limit.Kristina was left in a brain-dead coma, and two days later on Tuesday thetearful decision was made by parents David and Sandra Chesterman to take heroff life support and release her to Heaven. is was done after harvesting herorgans for near-immediate lifesaving use benefitting local patients, and a total offive lives were saved by her generous decision of three years before, ranging froma new heart for one woman to a segment of her liver saving an infant boy.
Since the tragedy many posthumous testimonials, candlelight vigils and fundraisers have been rendered in Kristina’s name around her Livermore, Californiahometown, and one only can imagine the thousands of lives she would’vetouched throughout her lifetime as a nurse and ca regiver. But instead it suffi cesto say that a new clinic in her name is in the works in Ozu Abam, Nigeria, thenation she had chosen to devote the first three years of her career at under theauspices of Doctors Without Borders upon graduation. anks to this and othermemorials, Kristina will be remembered for many, many more years than shespent in this world by a legion of people, some of whom she probably would’veprovided medical treatment to during what projected to be a long, fruitful careerhelping hospital patients, the single strongest driving force in her life.
Please Google ‘Kristina Chesterman’ sometime when you get the chanceand you feel like being inspired. You’ll find links connecting you to bunches ofhappy family pictures taken during better times, stories about the five hospital
patients whose lives were saved through her filling out one little card, and articlesabout all the work that David and Sandra are doing in California to strengthenthe incredibly lax state drunk driving laws there. And you can also check outKristina’s ambitious (and imaginative) Bucket List that a multitude of Facebookfollowers around the world will be spending their foreseeable futures at leastpartially fulfilling, a touching sidebar story that was highlighted on the CBSEvening Report several weeks ago.
And you’ll also find a link that enables you to donate to a poignant yetwonderful charitable organization. e Kristina Chesterman Foundation has afund that provides nursing scholarships to worthy Chico University applicants, afitting remembrance going forward of the future lifesaver that America lost thatnight. And we will always need more of these dedicated, selfless professionalswho are so easy to take for granted unless you’re ill and hospitalized, whensuddenly they become very important indeed. And yes, they are extremely bigshoes to fill, but we need as many Kristina Chestermans as we can get.

NH has a Brown Dwarf In the world of astrophysics, a brown dwar f is a sta r with insuffi cient
mass to sustain a nuclear fusion reaction and thereby emit energy. It is alsocalled a failed star. In New Hampshire we have our very own Brown dwarf.Scott Brown with millions of dollars of big oil money available to him hasbeen unable to emit one positive specific idea to improve the lives of NewHampshire citizens. Instead he has chosen to use his dirty money to attack
Jeanne Shaheen’s ethics and integrity. Jeanne has been a legislator, governor,and senator for many years in New Hampshire; she is known and trusted byher constituents of both parties. e Brown dwarf is not even trying to win theelection based upon intelligent discussion of policy issues; his lack of intellectbecomes more obvious every day. e only area that Scott Brown excels in isblind ambition, this failed star needs to pack up and leave New Hampshire toits own citizens. New Hampshire is well served by Jeanne Shaheen’s dedicationto New Hampshire values and way of life. I am sure that Jeanne wouldappreciate your vote this November.

Salemhaven Staff and Residents are Welcoming As a member of the Pleasant Street United Methodist Church, I would
like to thanks Salemhaven and all the residents who participated in our “Ice
Cream Social” On Saturday, August 26. Our Saturday Sabbath Service had tobe cancelled (due to a wedding at the same time). Our Pastor, Susan Walker,thought that the idea of bringing our group to Salemhaven and spreading God’slove there was a great idea. What a joy! We have done this several times inthe past, but it never ceases to amaze me at the joy that we get from this visit.Stephanie Micklon, who is the liaison at Salemhaven, the activities director,
Jean, and the whole crew at Salemhaven, just can’t do enough to welcome us.
e residents are so wonderful and loving! I thank the 10 volunteers (somefrom the Saturday Sabbath, some from Telfer Circle and others ... just friends). Ithank everyone who was with us in spirit and those who quietly handed me $10bills during our church service on Sunday to help defray the cost! One of thereasons why I am a member of Pleasant Street United Methodist Church is that
we can go outside our church building to express our love of God and what Hedoes for us each minute of the day.

Liberal Ideology the Real reat to United States As much as a dire threat ISIS is, the real threat for the United States is our
own people inside of it. e liberal progressive and advocates pose the greatestrisk to this country because they are the ones who direct policy and threaten ourstability. e policy makers who won’t close our borders are putting our childrenat risk at schools. In recent articles in both the Boston Herald and Boston Globe ,the numbers are staggering of undocumented children pouring into the UnitedStates form the border. Who are they? Are they gang members or terrorists?Nobody know because nobody in this administration wants to close the borderbecause it is deemed insensitive to immigrants. Our own people are saying thatillegal aliens are more important than our own legalized citizens.
e only way change will come to this great country is for the citizens torise up and say enough of the bleeding heart agenda. It is a mindless ideologythat threatens this great country. It is an insult to the founding fathers. Itis degrading to the soldiers who fought for this country. An ideology of
progressive nonsense is the biggest threat to this country. In a recent article inthe Boston Herald stated that 68 percent of Democrats think global warming isthe biggest threat to the United States. Sixty-five percent of Dems though ISISis the biggest threat. More Democrats think global warming is a bigger threatthan a fanatical Muslim terrorist group bent on killing all who stand in its wayand that is despicable.
In the coming election you should not vote based on abortion rights, orgay marriage rights or illegal immigrants rights, you should vote on what isright and wrong. You should vote on who you think will protect us the bestfrom ISIS, from criminals pouring over the border hiding in schools as highschool students. You should vote on who will direct the United States back tothe powerful country we should be because when the United States is run byliberal progressive ideology it threatens your very existence. When you go to themarket, the mall, Faneuil Hall or a sporting event where there is a large groupof people, think about what is going on in the world and put ideology aside.ink with a clear head and ask yourself what and who can protect my familyright now? What is more important at this moment in time? Abortion rights orthe protection of my family? What is more important, walking to Boston downthe Freedom Trail safely or gay marriage? Social issues will not protect you fromISIS, will not protect you from terrorists from Libya, Somalia, Syria, Iraq andHammas. Muslim fanatics have an ideology that must be stamped out by other
Muslims. e Progressive Liberal ideology must be stamped out by the UnitedStates citizens who say enough is enough.

Happy Banking at Pentucket Bank submitted by Pentucket Bank
On Friday, August 15, Pentucket Bank’s ChiefFinancial Officer, David Bennett, captured thetrue essence of banking at any Pentucket Bankbranch. “I couldn’t believe the great image of asmiling face behind our branch,” said Bennett.“It’s a perfect example of the Pentucket Bankdifference and gives new meaning to the termdrive-up banking.”
According to pilot Tony Sica, owner of High5 Ballooning in Derry, he and his passengersenjoyed a one-hour flight, departing fromHampstead Middle School and eventuallylanding at the bank’s branch. According topilot Sica, “The wind speed dictates the landingposition of the hot air balloon. A windy dayproduces a faster landing which requires abigger location. Conversely, Friday’s gentle
winds allowed for a precise, soft landing.”When reached for comment, Scott Cote,
president and chief executive officer ofPentucket Bank, also mentioned that the smileyface balloon is symbolic of the Pentucket Bank
experience. As Cote stated, “Pentucket Bank isconsistently recognized by our customers, ouremployees and our communities as the placefor happy banking. We were glad to be ofassistance in a perfect landing.”

Senior care in a beautiful setting pleases both residents
and their adult children at Windham Terrace – a premier
assisted living and memory care community nestled in the
quaint town of Windham, NH. It offers a unique healthcare advantage over other living options.
For years James Folan, Sr. cared for his aging wife at home. But
when he needed extra support and care, he didn’t want to burden
his children. So his son James, Jr. suggested that his Dad live closerto him at Windham Terrace.
“The moment we entered Windham Terrace and heard residents’
laughter, we felt like we had found the right place. During the tour,
Executive Director Lynda Brislin, RN, immediately connected
with Dad. When she introduced us to her tenured and caring staff,
we then KNEW this was the right choice!”
Mr. Folan tried a short-term stay, and that quickly turned into
home. “Dad is very happy. He lives in a great apartment, enjoys
activities with new friends, and receives the care he needs.
Knowing he’s in a superb community gives us peace of mind,”
said James, Jr.
For James Folan, Sr., “It is all about the feeling of love and tender care
at Windham Terrace. I can’t say enough about Lynda and her staff.”

Salem Republican Town Committee InterimChairman Gene Bryant made the introductions ofthe candidates.
In addition, Salem town Selectman PatHargreaves spoke of the upcoming eventin which a replica of the Vietnam Veterans’
Memorial will come to Salem in October.All of the speakers made the point of the

Salem Election Choices Deviatefrom State Results
by S. Aaron ShamshoyanAs election results came in from across the
state, Salem voters learned Tuesday their electionpicks were not in line with the state majority.
By nearly 300 votes, Salem voters electedcongressional candidate Gary Lambert (R-NH02)to the general election, but statewide, MarilindaGarcia (R-NH02) received the GOP nomination.
That wasn’t the only race where voters deviatedfrom statewide results.
Voters favored Salem Police Prosecutor JasonGrosky (R-Rockingham) for county attorney, butas of Wednesday, Assistant Prosecutor and Salemresident Patricia Conway (R-Rockingham) waspoised to obtain the nomination.
Town Moderator Christopher Goodnow saidSalem saw a higher voter turnout than waspredicted, with 21 percent of registered voters,
just over 4,000 residents, casting ballots.However, the town wasn’t totally out of line
with the state. For governor, Walt Havensteinreceived the town’s nomination and Scott Brown
(R-NH) received the senatorial endorsement.Three Democratic write-in candidates will
make their way to the general election for staterepresentative and state senate.
Richard O’Shaughnessy, running on a write-incampaign, will face incumbent Senate PresidentChuck Morse (R-Salem) for the seat.
Former Selectman Elizabeth Roth and SalemPlanning Board member Jane Lang each receivedenough votes for state representative to be placedon the ballot in November.
Salem’s results were announced around 10:30p.m. at the town hall, with only a handful ofcandidates waiting in person for the results.

Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down?
Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down?
“Thumbs up/Thumbs down - to all those thatbash the Republicans and the Tea Party pay
attention. The Democrats would never win ifthey were honest with the people. We havea President Obama who continues to lie anddeceive the people. Jeanne Shaheen and AnneKuster who continues to support this liar andchief which makes them accomplishes to hislies and deception. If they were honest with thepeople and if the people were not so uniformedand apathetic to realize they have been deceivednone of these frauds would be elected. People ofNew Hampshire smarten up and don’t let theseDems play you as useful idiots again.”
“Thumbs up to a thumbs down. Thumbs up tothe ‘giggle’ comment about Selectmen. It is verycondescending and disrespectful when a memberberates things that the Budget Committee didor did not do and when comments are madeabout the Museum is ‘still old‘ and the HistoricalCommittee had an exciting meeting and then adegrading comment about the subject discussed.
I really wish that the Chairman would ask thatthese type of comments could be stopped whenon the record. This might explain why we seemto have problems getting citizens to volunteer forBoards?”
“Thumbs down to Marilinda Garcia! Sheclaims to be against Big Government in hercampaign message running for the U.S. Senate.Her past actions reveal her to be a hypocrite!She did not follow the wants of the large vastmajority of her constituents concerning thecasino vote at Rockingham Park. She missed thevote to stop Obamacare in New Hampshire. Shemissed more than 250 votes as a state legislator,adding up to missing more than 58% of thevotes. (Maybe she was playing golf with thePresident) She behaves and votes as any LiberalDemocrat would, her way, not the way of the herconstituents! Maybe she is a RINO?”
“Thumbs up/Thumbs down. I am really sickand tired of Obama supporters saying if youdisagree with his destructive policies you area racist. Obama has proven to be a con man
and a fraud. Since his first days in office hehas lied and ignored the Constitution. He hasspent more time playing golf, throwing partiesand fund raising rather than addressing theincreasingly serious problems facing America.He acts like an adolescent spoiled child insteadof a mature leader. If speaking the truth andbeing factual makes me a racist, so be it. How
much longer will these Obamasupporters’ heads remain in
the sand?”
“Thumbs down to both sidesin Washington. In the mediapanic to spread fear aboutIslamic States both sides arewrong. There is no diplomaticnor military ‘solution.’ Theonly solution is to get offIslamic oil, which is the lifeblood of Islam’s terrorists. Thetrillions spent on the mistakenwhim that the U.S. couldchange Islam should havegone to alternative energy. Theother solution is to eliminatethe royals in the Persian Gulfand colonize their oil and gas.Bombing Toyotas with guidedweapons costing $250,000 around is fiscally insane and
strategically senseless.”
“Thumbs down to theperson criticizing the man onMain St., who wants to see
Obama impeached. Why isit automatically ‘Racism’ tocriticize a person that happensto be black? The man is adismal failure as president,the worst we ever had. Hemakes Jimmy Carter look likea Rhodes Scholar. Obamahas violated so many rules ofoffice, his arrogance knowsno bounds. Besides that, youhave a Muslim for president.Yes, a Muslim. He wantsnothing more than to destroythis country, let as many illegalaliens in as possible, and turnus into a third world hellhole.And all you can do is stillblame the prior administration?You definitely drank a gallon ofthe kool-aid. Unbelievable!”
“Thumbs down to KellyAyotte’s Political Commercials. Kelly’s scaretactics about the U.S.s’ $17 trillion debt hides the40 years of republican tax cuts and the trillionsborrowed for the war profits machine to securecorporate interests in the unconstitutional globalempire. Republican fiscal policy has explodedthe U.S.’s debt. While her ‘new healthcare’would treat poor kids in the U.S. like Palestiniankids in Gaza are treated by their U.S. fundedoverlords. U.S. does not need more years ofrepublicans’ cocktail napkin fiscal insanity.”
“Thumbs down to government intrusion. Afly doesn’t have to wear a helmet or seat-belt to
go from point A to point B. Aworm doesn’t have to makea phone call before it digs inthe ground. A bumble-beedoesn’t have to pull a permitbefore it builds a hive. Insectshave more rights that we do.Pretty soon we’ll need to askgovernment how many breathswe can take each day. Wakeup people before it’s too late!”
“Thumbs up to Fox NewsCable for uncovering andreportingthe scandalsthat have
been going on for the lastsix years under the presentadministration. We, the people,must vote this administration
out and vote for people whotruly love this country.”
“Thumbs down to the 99Restaurant for not putting priceson their bar menu. No prices,no drinks for me.”
“Thumbs up/Thumbs down. In response tothe disgruntled patron of Canobie Lake Park. Thegazebo area is in fact a designated smoking area.You should read the signs that are posted all overbefore commenting. I give Canobie Lake Parkthumbs way up.”
“Thumbs up/Thumbs down. Please don’tvote for Maralinda Garcia and her sisters. Theycost the town a lot of money when they turnedthe casino down. They don’t even pay propertytaxes, she has no frame ofreference. I’ve lived in Salemfor 78 years. I can’t afford mytaxes anymore and people likeher vote against people like
me.”
“Thumbs up to the 2014-2015 Booster Club for‘sprucing’ up the blockhouseat Salem High School. Anextensive cleaning and paint
job inside was just what itneeded to make it a pleasantexperience for all of the parentvolunteers!”
“Thumbs up tothe NH Secretary ofState and their sampleballots. Going tothe SoS website andplugging in your townwill give you a sampleballot well in advanceof primaries or general
elections. I did thisand used my sampleballot as a checklist,and contacted everycandidate runningby email. Those thatdid not get back tome, I struck from mylist, and those thatdid I weighed againstmy own values andtheirs to pick the bestcandidates from thepool. If you cannotcast an informed ballot in New Hampshire, it’s
your own fault.”
“Thumbs down. I wish the Planning Boardmembers wouldn’t talk over each otherespecially Ron Belanger. The microphone picksup everything. It is very irritating when you aretrying to watch the meeting. Please shut upwhen someone else is talking.”
“Thumbs down to the casino spin. Casinosupporters keep citing ‘80% of Salem’ wants acasino in town, when in actuality, only 5,672voters came out for that March 12, 2013election, which is about a quarter of the 19,340registered voters in Salem. Most of these werepeople who had a vested interest in bringing acasino into the track property. Doing the math,80% yes votes out of 25% of the voters = 20%of Salem wants gambling here. I don’t want acasino in my backyard. Do you?”
“Thumbs up to Yahoo online. I’m just gladYahoo has photographers embedded within each
terrorist group so that we can view thousands ofphotos and video firsthand. Waving weaponsand flags. Training for terror. Wearing masks tocover their CIA identity.
“Thumbs down for all people who plan ongiving up their homes to move to so called seniorhousing such as Millville Arms and Delta Circleplease give it a lot thought. Contrary to popularbelief, children are allowed to live here. I wishI had a dollar for every time I heard, ‘How canthat happen?’ I thought no kids were allowed.On the second floor, no less. Right now three ofthem live here. The first month they lived herethe police were here on a regular basis. Justsaying. Don’t do it.”
“Thumbs up. Abig thumbs up toSalem PD. EspeciallyOfficer York andDetective Juness withall their help withour problem. Thanksagain.”
“Thumbs down.
It’s a sad thing toknow that our taxdollars went for sucha hysterically funnylooking addition tothe Soule and FiskeSchools.”
“Thumbs down.Why can Pelham putan addition on theirhigh school with 20-plus rooms and a newparking lot and a new
auditorium and $22 million but in Salem it iscosting us $70 million to fix our high school -over three times the amount? Something’s fishy.”

Being Prepared can Ease Burden for Long-distance Caregivers
Se n io r
Co nce r n s
by Paula Faist MS , LSW , Silverthorne Adult
Day Center
by Paula Faist MS, LSW,Silverthorne Adult Day Center
“Do you have any suggestions on how to bea distant caregiver to my parents?” Janet, Salem
Caregiving is not easy for anyone, not foryou, the adult child caregiver, and not for your
parents, the care recipient. There are sacrifices,challenges and adjustments for everyone.When you don’t live close by and cannot seeyour parents daily, the challenges can seem exasperating. Accordingto National Institute on Aging data, 15 percent of the country’s 34million caregivers live an hour or more away from aging relativeswho need their help. Caregiving is an on-going job. When you livean hour or more away it may feel like the added responsibilities arethat much harder to control or manage. I have listed some thoughtsthat you and your family could think about to help with your new“distant” role.
To start, you may need to take a few days off to visit yourparents to assess what is needed. You will want to assess the homesituation, as well as their health. The first step may be to attend adoctor’s appointment. You should request that your parent sign arelease of information. This will allow the doctor to share medicalinformation with you when you return home. You will want toobtain a current list of their diagnosis, medications, allergies andhealth history. You will also want to make sure the doctor’s office
has your emergency contact information.You may want to have them contact you withany significant changes. If your parents donot have an advance directive in place, ora medical power of attorney, this is a greattime to get those very important documents in
place. You then may want to check with thepharmacy to see that your parents are fillingall their prescriptions.
While you are visiting you will want to assess your parents’ abilityto do some day-to-day tasks like cooking meals, preparing meals,shopping for food, housecleaning etc. You may want to check outsenior services in their area to obtain the contact information or thecommunity agencies that provide services for these needs. You maywant to get phone numbers from neighbors and friends and makesure they have your number in case they have a concern about yourparents.
These are just some suggestions. It may appear to be a lot toconsider. In the long run, it is better to have your parents’ affairs inplace and know about services before any health crisis occurs.
Remember to send questions on elder concerns or issues [email protected].
Paula Faist, MS, LSW, is president of the NH Adult Day Services Association and program director of Silverthorne Adult Day Center.Please continue sending questions to [email protected].

‘Ready, Set, Go’ for the Families ofSt. Joseph Regional Catholic School
submitted by St. Joseph Regional Catholic School Parents of current and past graduates, their family and extended
family members, students, school and parish staff met on August25 for the traditional annual Open House and Barbecue. Duringthe open house from 4:30-5:15 p.m., students led their parentsand family members on tours of their new classrooms, freshlydecorated to show the learning opportunities for the 2014-2015school year. Teachers and staff had been carefully readying for thisnight throughout the summer. They met the school principal, schoolsecretary and a dedicated volunteer who provided the beginning ofthe school year packets. Parents and guardians get homework too.
For the first time at this event, there was a student project, abeginning of the school’s community building and communityservice efforts. The Quinn family painted the school’s three garagedoors, Mrs. Pontbriand painted the welcome on the center door, andstudents happily left their handprints in brightly colored paint onthe remaining two doors. It is hoped that it is only the beginning offamily fun and service events.
The barbecue featured grilled hot dogs, hamburgers andcheeseburgers. Desserts ranged from a beautifulsheetcake to scrumptious homemade browniesand chocolate chip cookies. The bounce housewas well used. Parents and students renewedacquaintances. Even nicer, was the way “veteran”parents reached out to the newcomers. Eighthgraders accepted donations toward the New YorkCity trip in the spring. When the evening ended,volunteers cleaned so that there was no physicalevidence of the fun, although the memories willremain. Meanwhile, the school board held theirfirst meeting of the year.
The next day the staff met for daylongprofessional development and a retreat to better
prepare themselves to provide opportunities forstudent growth and achievement, spiritually,academically and physically.
Wednesday, August 27 was the first day ofschool for grades 1-8. They looked so neat andattractive in their uniforms with their new schoolhaircuts. After recess, the first daily morning
assembly was heldoutdoors witheighth gradersleading prayerand the Pledge ofAllegiance.

Girls’ Soccer Loses Close Match
to Nashua North, 1-0
Salem’s freshman goalkeeper Victoria Andrade makes anincredible leaping stop during Friday evening’s loss to
Nashua North High School.
by Jacob GagnonThe Blue Devils fell to 1-3 on the season after
being narrowly beaten by Nashua North HighSchool, 1-0, on Friday, September 5 in Salem.Even in defeat, the Salem High School girls’Soccer team shined.
The final score was not the whole story.Instead, it is just a chapter at the beginning ofwhat could be a successful story for the Salemprogram. “I feel like we’re getting better everygame we play,” said Head Coach KendrickWhittle. “The young kids are getting morecomfortable with the speed of the game and we’recompeting.”
The most impressive part of Salem’s playoccurred on the defensive sideof the ball. The Blue Devils’
defense continually stifledthe Titans’ offensive attemptsthroughout the contest. Thesole goal of the game, occurringmidway through the secondhalf of play, was the result of aricochet that managed to getpast an otherwise shutdowngoalkeeper in Victoria Andrade.“They played really hard. Ithought we defended well,”said Whittle. “They (the Salemdefenders) areathletic, toughkids that aretenacious.They don’t liketo get beat so Ilike that backthere.”
Andrade was
outstandingbetween thepipes forSalem, makingnumerousdiving savesto keep herteam in thegame. Whatmakes herperformanceeven moredazzling isthe fact thatshe is onlya freshman.“She’s figuringit out, she’slearning every
game, she’s getting better, and that’s all we want,”said Whittle of his new goalkeeper.
While Salem has seen hopeful glimpses fromtheir offense, Whittle admits it is a part of their
game that needs to improve. “We need to be alittle bit better on the offensive side of the field tosustain some pressure but I love how hard they areworking in the games and practice,” said Whittle.
The Blue Devils opened the season on theroad against Keene High School. Salem lost theopener, 2-0, before defeating Memorial HighSchool of Manchester, 3-1, at home. The teamhoped to even their record when they returnedto field to host Spaulding High School onWednesday, September 10.
This young Blue Devils team has the po tentialto be a force in the years to come. For now,however, Coach Whittle is focused on the game-to-game improvements in order to make that nextstep toward success. “We’re in games so it’s justabout adjusting those little mistakes and hopefullyimproving the next game out.”

by Jacob GagnonThe Salem High School
Football team, led by second-year Head Coach Rob Pike,opened their season on Fridaynight, September 5, with adecisive victory over NashuaSouth High School, 35-14, atGrant Field in Salem.
“It’s a great feeling. Betterthan starting 0-1, I’ll tell youthat,” said Pike. “The kidsplayed hard and they deservedit.” After starting last seasonat 0-4, the Blue Devils gainedmomentum on the gridiron,
winning four of their final sixcontests. That same momentumseems to have carried over intothe 2014 season.
Although according to Pike,momentum did not have asmuch to do with his team’ssuccess as hard work and sheereffort did. “Each year is new.It’s a credit to these guys andthese seniors. They’ve reallyworked hard and been good leaders,” said Pike.
Both Nashua South and Salem exchanged penaltieson the opening drive before Blue Devil junior JohnnyBartose recorded a quarterback sack to force a punt.
After Nashua regained the ball on a turnover ondowns, a Panther player broke away for a big gain andwould have scored a touchdown had senior Co-captainAustin Homsey not made a diving stop to save the score.That extra effort paid off as Nashua, in Salem territory,fumbled on the next play. The Blue Devils recovered.
Salem quarterback senior John Cerretani connectedwith classmate Kenny Calabrese for a 47-yard gain. TheBlue Devils continued to threaten as the firstquarter came to anend. Less than aminute and a half intothe second quarter,
Salem took the leadas Cerretani tossed atouchdown pass toHomsey. A minutelater, Nashua Southanswered back witha 74-yard touchdownto tie the game withten minutes remainingin the half. Salem’soffense stumbled only
once in the game, as a Cerretanipass was picked off, yet the BlueDevil defense was able to make acrucial stop on the Nashua drive. Asthe Panthers threatened on 4th and9 yards to go, Homsey blitzed andpressured the Nashua quarterbackenough to cause an incomplete passand a turnover on downs. After puntsfrom both teams, Salem found the
ball again toward the end of the half.Cerretani redeemed himself with an impressive 26-yardtouchdown passto Calabrese with 53.6 seconds left in the first half. The Blue Devilsstopped a late Nashua South surge to maintain a 14-7 lead going intothe second half.
“We’ve got some pretty good players and they played hard tonight,and they executed the game plan as we wanted to do it,” said Pike.“John Cerretani did a great job running the offense for us. We came offthe ball extremely well. (Junior) Sean Nartiff, (senior captain) AustinRibaudo, and (senior) Pat Hughes up front on the line did a great job.Our running backs ran hard.”
The Blue Devils’ attitude in the second half can be summed upby one word: relentless. Salem received the ball to start the secondhalf and wasted little time. The Blue Devils drove down the field andcontrolled the clock with a five-minute possession to open the half. ThePanthers held Salem at the goal line for three straight downs. On 4thand three, Cerretani connected with Homsey again for a touchdown
and a 21-7 advantage.Nashua South responded two minutes
later with a touchdown run to cut the lead toseven points. From that moment on, however,
every close play broke Salem’s way. Aftera strong drive, Salem found themselves in acrucial 4th and two play. An encroachmentpenalty against Nashua South was enough toearn them an enormous first down twice inthe same drive. The Blue Devils had the ballon the Panthers’ seven-yard line as the thirdquarter ended. Salem scored six seconds intothe fourth quarter. Cerretani pitched the ballto junior Nick Shumski who tossed a perfecttouchdown pass to classmate Matt Ayotte.Ayotte, to his credit, made an incredible catchover a Nashua defender.
Nashua, with little to lose, went for it on4th and four on their next drive. SophomoreBen Emerson chased down the quarterbackand completed the sack to force anotherturnover. Behind a terrific effort from Salem’soffensive line, junior Charles Sibanda caughta pitch and ran it 18 yards into the end zonefor the Blue Devils’ final score of the game.
Senior Chris Sheikhabdou was successful inall five of his point-after-touchdown (PAT) kicks for Salem.
“Defensively, (junior linebacker) Doug Maroun played a great gamefor us. Our defensive backs were covering very well,” said Pike.Salem’s dominant defensive effort ended with a pair of sacks, one by
Sean Nartiff, to allow the offenseto finish the game in victoryformation and secure the 35-14win.
Salem will travel to faceKeene High School next Friday,September 12. While the win overthe Panthers was encouraging,Pike believes that there is roomfor improvement as the seasonprogresses. “We’ve got a lot ofwork to do. We’ve still got tokeep getting better,” said Pike.“But it was a good start.”

Girls’ Volleyball Starts Season with 3-0 Win over Crusaders
by Jacob GagnonWhile the faces may change, the dominance
of the program does not. The Salem High Schoolgirls’ Volleyball squad, with a roster full of athleteswith limited varsity experience, opened the2014 season by hosting Memorial High Schoolof Manchester in Davis Gymnasium. The BlueDevils overcame the Crusaders in three straightsets.
“It was a good game to work through a bunchof nerves. We played a lot of people who havenever played varsity before,” said Head Coach
John Roemer. The Blue Devils returned sevenplayers from last season and welcomed eightnew players to the varsity roster. “They’ve beendeveloping in junior varsity and they’ve beenpracticing all summer. They’re all working hardand they are all athletic and fast, which is good.”
After claiming the first two sets decisively, theCrusaders made Salem fight for each point in the
third set. Memorial continually fought back andtied the contest,forcing the youngBlue Devils team toplay harder. Salem was able to finish off the Crusaders and win the thirdand final set, 25-21, to earn their first win of the season.
“I think Callie Dassler did well and Rachel Towler did a great job setting.It was a good team effort today,” said Roemer. Rachel Towler finished withthree kills and 24 assists. Ashley Matthews recorded eight kills. NicoletteFallisi had four kills and scored five aces. Seanna Cloutier earned oneblock.
“We’ll definitely go through some growing pains but I think it was agood game to go out and get that first win under our belts and get ridof those initial nerves. We’ll have some ups and downs this year,” saidRoemer. “The whole year is about continuing to develop, believing in theprocess, and keep growing.”
The Blue Devils faced their biggest challenge of the young season onMonday, September 8, as they traveled to face Merrimack High School.Merrimack is an early favorite to finish at the top in the postseason.Regardless of the final outcome, Roemer knows that it will give his teamyet another opportunity to grow and develop in the Salem system.
Field Hockey Squad Blanks Crusadersby Jacob Gagnon
On Friday, September 5, the Blue Devils Field Hockey team defeated the Memorial High School
Crusaders to maintain their unblemishedrecord in the young season. While victoryis the ultimate goal, this season is also aboutdevelopment for Salem High.
“Our goal is to just improve every gameand play the younger kids because after thisgraduating class, we’ve got freshmen andsophomores,” said Head Coach John Gatsas.“We need to develop them as much as we canso we can replenish the program.”
This season is transitional, with a solid blendof experienced and inexperienced playersfrom all class levels. Salem lost ten playersfrom last season, including seven starters. Alot of the current players are playing out oftheir normal position from last year in hopesof boosting the Blue Devils on all sides of theball. Some forwards are now transitioning tomid-field, while some mid-fielders are playingdefense. That change, Gatsas said, will takesome time to get used to.
“We played two games and we were goodbut we’re still trying to find that chemistry,”said Gatsas. “We’re moving the ball well. I think that, defensively, we need to be a little more aggressivewhile defending against their corners. We have to work on that.”
The game remained a scoreless, defensive struggle throughout most of the game. It was not until thefinal minute of the first half that the Crusaders finally budged. At 29:06, Allie Sirmaian scored the solegoal of the game with an assist from Co-captain Kiley Keenan on a corner attempt. Salem stopped aMemorial corner to finish out the first half.
“Mikayla Ramsdell, our mid-fielder, impressed me today,” said Gatsas. “Allie Sirmaian has played wellfor us these past couple of games. Kayleigh Greenfield, a freshman, played well today and ChantalleDumont did a nice job too.”
The second half was more of the same, with both teams struggling to make something happen.Memorial played tough, but Salem proved tougher, as the Blue Devils maintained their one-goal lead todefeat the Crusaders. With the win, Salem remains perfect at 2-0 on the season. The Blue Devils traveledto face Nashua North High School on Wednesday, September 10.
While the win over Memorial was hard-earned, Gatsas hopes it is just the beginning of a successfulfinal run for his seniors. “I hope our seniors step up. It’s their season. Some of them have been here forfour years and their goal is to go deep into the tournament,” said Gatsas. “They’ve got to step up andlead this team, and I think there are some good leadership skills there.”
With postseason experience, the senior leaders on the team hope to instill in their younger counterparts
a work ethic and drive that have brought the program success over the last few seasons.
