Vietnam Memorial Wall Coming Next Week
by S. Aaron Shamshoyan
An 80 percent replica of the Vietnam
Memorial Wall will be in town next week
before it is permanently retired.
The Cost of Freedom Tribute featuring the
Traveling Wall will be escorted into Salem on
Wednesday, Oct. 15 and be open to visitors
beginning Thursday through the weekend.
Selectmens Chairman Patrick Hargreaves said
the spectacle will attract thousands of visitors.
Its going to be a great event, Hargreaves
said. Its going to be a great show.
On Wednesday, a parade with over 300
motorcycle riders will escort the wall from a
staging area at Rockingham Park, down Route
28 to Main Street and to Geremonty Drive,
where it will be unloaded and set up on Grant
Field at Salem High School.
The opening ceremony will take place on
Thursday at 1 p.m. and the wall will remain
open around the clock to guests.
It will be open 24 hours a day, Hargreaves
said.
Friday will mark a Law Enforcement and
Fireghter Recognition, Hargreaves said, adding
a Veterans Day recognition will take place
Saturday night.
Saturday is going to be a trafc nightmare,
he said. All of Geremonty Drive will be closed
off.
Up to 1,500 motorcycle riders will visit the
wall Saturday to pay tribute to the memorial.
At that time, Geremonty Drive will be
blocked off, he said, adding handicapped
parking and Salemhaven guests will still be able
to get through.
Parking will only be allowed for handicapped
guests during the day at the high school, and a
shuttle will pick up visitors at Rockingham Park.
There will be a bus shuttle Friday, Saturday,
and Sunday from Rockingham Park leaving
every 15 minutes, Hargreaves said.
There will be services for veterans at the
memorial, Hargreaves said. Whatever the
veterans need will be there.
Closing ceremonies will begin at 1 p.m.
Sunday. Multiple dignitaries will speak during
the ceremonies, which will also feature the
Salem High School Band and Chorus.

As a part of my participation in the
Salem Police Departments Citizens
Police Academy, sponsored by the
Salem Exchange Club, I got to ride
along in a patrol car with a Salem
Police ofcer. For my ride along I
chose the Friday, 4 p.m. to midnight
shift. I thought this would be a shift
with the most potential for some
excitement.
My interest in the Police Academy
and the ride along was to see rsthand
what the Salem Police do and how
they do it. Like most everyone, I
watched my fair share of Law and
Order, Cops and CSI. I wanted to
get a more realistic view of the police
department.
My shift started in the lobby of
the police station. As I waited for
the ofcer to come out to get me, I
had a chance to witness the people
who come into the station. When I

rst arrived, there was a man
and two women in the lobby
waiting to speak to an ofcer.
As an ofcer came out to the
lobby, the man asked the ofcer
if he could get his wallet and
cell from his car. From listening
to the conversation, it appeared
the man had been stopped the
night before.
The man admitted to the
ofcer that he was wrong
in mouthing off and was
embarrassed about his actions.
The ofcer informed the man
that since the department would
not be able to contact a judge
until Monday, the car and
everything inside the car had
to stay impounded. The man
eventually said he understood
and walked out of the station
dejected and without his wallet
or cell phone.
Next, a woman came in
to bail out her daughter. The
woman would later tell me that
her daughter was arrested on a
drug charge. She told me her
daughter was involved with a
man with a substance problem,
that they had a small child
together, and that he was soon
getting out of rehab.
The next person to come into
the station was a man carrying
a very small child. The man
was at the station to bail out
the mother of the child, again
a drug arrest. Soon the woman
came out. She greeted the child
and they all left together.
Ofcer Corbin Decker then
came out to the lobby and told
me that it was time to go. Once
in the police vehicle, I saw all
the extra electronics that are
in the patrol car; there are the
buttons for the lights and sirens
and in the center of the console
is a laptop. As I would soon
Fire Open House Brings out the Child in Everyone
by Bob Gibbs
The Salem Fire Departments annual open house
at the Central Fire Station on Main Street brought
out the inner child in everyone who stopped by. On
Saturday, Oct. 4, visitors had the opportunity to get
up close and personal to the departments equipment
and motorized apparatus.
Many of the children couldnt wait to get up into
the re trucks and advanced life support vehicles.
Everyone, old and young alike, could see what the
re department uses to put out res and rescue
people and animals from dangerous situations.
Along with being able to walk around the re
station, spectators were treated to a demonstration of
how the re personnel put out a car re. Using an
old car, positioned a safe distance from the spectators,
the reghters started a re within the vehicle. Once
the re was going strong, three reghters in their
complete re protection equipment, approached the
re with a re hose and went to work extinguishing the
blaze.
In addition to the tour and demonstration, free food
and drinks from local restaurants were available. Also,
companies demonstrating ways to keep your home re
safe were available to answer peoples questions.
Another future frefghter enjoys the open house.
Marky Bohondoney, 2, gets to drive.
Jordan Melanson, 2 1/2, and Kayla Quartarine, 12, look like future frefghters.
Te Girls Scout from Troop 10185, who purchased Fido kits for the Salem Fire
Department, raised $1,200 through a yard sale, a $500 mini grant and other events.

The weather was glorious for the Greater Salem Caregivers
Annual Vincent Swanson Walk-a-thon held on September 20 as
part of SalemFest. With their orange vests, the walkers made a
striking picture as they made their way from the Salem Senior
Center to begin the three-mile walk.
The walk has taken place each fall for more than 20 years
and the proceeds go to the Salem Caregivers in their mission to
help seniors and disabled adults by providing rides to medical
appointments, shopping and home visits. It is dedicated to Vin
Swanson who served as a volunteer and board member and was
an inspiration to all who knew him.
The walkers were treated to
pizza and refreshments plus prizes
donated by the following local
businesses: R&J Gasoline Station,
Yoga - Balance for Life, Canobie
Lake Park, Kamals Car Wash
and Gourmet Bites Catering. We
would also like to thank Douglas
& Johnson Funeral Home for their
sponsorship and Sonny Tylus and
Betty Gay for all the help that
they gave us. A big thank you
also goes out to Thrivent Financial
for Lutherans for their major
sponsorship.
The Salem Caregivers would
also like to thank the Salem Senior
Center for hosting the event and the
Work Success Program for all the
beautiful signs that greeted the participants on the walk.
Lastly, deepest appreciation goes out to all those kind people
who made donations and a big hats off to the young members
of the Salem High Key Club who lent youthful fun and enthusiasm
to the walk. We are indebted to the SHS Field Hockey team who
couldnt walk this year because of a game commitment but did
extend their nancial and moral support. It was a lot of fun and a
great day.

Chamber of Commerce
The Greater Salem, N.H., and Greater
Haverhill, Mass., Chambers of Commerce, in
partnership with Platinum Sponsor Pentucket
Bank, announce the fth Annual Cross Border
Expo to be held on Thursday, October 23, from
4 to 7 p.m. at the Northern Essex Community
College gym at 100 Elliot St. in Haverhill.
Admission is free.
The Cross Border Expo offers consumers the
opportunity to directly connect with businesses
throughout southern New Hampshire, the
Merrimack Valley and beyond. Exhibitors include
restaurants, retailers, professional services, salons,
spas, banks, non-prots and more. Exhibitors
will offer food tastings, discounts, and direct sales
to promote their goods and services. Last year
the event hosted 100 vendors and 1,000-plus
attendees.
This years Cross Border Expo will also feature
free rafes every hour (including a cruise to
the Bahamas), live radio broadcast, convenient
location to both Massachusetts and New
Hampshire visitors, coupons and discount offers
from exhibitors, two celebrity guests, and the
2004, 2007 and 2013 Red Sox World Series
trophies.
The event will open with a live performance by
Boston Bruins home game national anthem singer
Rene Rancourt. Rancourt has professionally sung
the U.S. and Canadian national anthems at Boston
Bruins home games for the past 35 years. At 4
p.m., Rancourt will open the Cross Border Expo
with the national anthem, then visit with guests,
sign autographs, and pose for photos.
The World Series trophies from the 2004, 2007
and 2013 championships will be on display.
Attendees are welcome to have their picture taken
with the trophies and recall the exciting memories
of having a World Series championship team in
Boston.
This years premier guest celebrity is famed
Boston Bruins alumni Rick Middleton. Rick
Middleton began his professional hockey career
as the rst-round draft pick for the New York
Rangers in 1974. He nished off the season with
a ourish as rookie of the year in the American
Hockey League, and then played left wing with
the Rangers for two years before he was traded to
the Boston Bruins in 1976 for Ken Hodge. After
a few years, sportswriters began calling it one of
the most lopsided deals in recent hockey history,
in favor of the Bruins. Things were looking pretty
bright right from the start of Middletons arrival
in Boston, as he scored a hat-trick in his rst-ever
game as a Bruin.
By 1985, Middleton had earned his place as
captain of the Bruins. Without a doubt, Middleton
was one of very few players in the NHL who was
strong on both the power-play and as a penalty
killer. In 1987-1988 Middleton played the last of
his 12 seasons with the Bruins. He retired from
the game after recording 448 goals and 540 assists
in 1,005 games.
At the Expo, Middleton will welcome
photographs, autographs and interaction with
attendees. Sports fans are encouraged to meet
Middleton and the other sports greats to come
meet our celebrities while visiting the event and
shopping with local businesses and vendors.
The spirit of the local business community is
directly reected in the initiatives of its Chamber
of Commerce. The Greater Salem and Greater
Haverhill chambers recognize and appreciate that
the regions of southern NH and northern MA,
when working together, provide great opportunity
and access to local business and the communities
they serve.
To sign up as an exhibitor, contact either
chamber: Greater Haverhill at (978) 373-5663 or
Greater Salem at (603) 893-3177.

Colosseum Special - Pollo alla Tortiera
Its almost that time! As we race through the fall season, well
soon be exclaiming, The Holy Days are almost here! There are a
variety of dishes that are characteristic of every region in Italy. With
20 regions, it is known throughout the country that each region
contributes an exquisitely tasty dish to the national palate.
The course that comes from my region is second to none. Perhaps
I am a bit biased, but my taste buds will always tell me that this
particular dish is truly the best in the land. But before I explain
further, lets take a moment to discuss food in general, and what
it means to us. Food, and the joy of eating, is one of lifes nest
pleasures. Its a way to express our personalities, to bring some
spice into our day-to-day lives and to show our families and friends
how very much we care.
The recipe that I want to share with you today is not only a
regional favorite, but one of my personal favorites as well. With its
inviting aroma and fabulous taste, its hard to believe it only requires
a very few ingredients.
Ingredients:
1 pound potatoes
2 1/2 to 3 pounds of chicken
1 garlic clove
1 stem of rosemary
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt & pepper
Hot pepper for spice
Peel potatoes and cut into quarters. Cut the
chicken into 8 pieces. Chop the garlic and remove rosemary from
the stem; mix with the olive oil. Add the salt, pepper and hot
pepper. Mix everything together.
Place into a casserole dish, cover with plastic wrap and aluminum
foil. Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove the plastic wrap
and aluminum foil and roast for an additional 15 minutes.
Buon Apptito!

Only the Big Donors Matter
Democracy means government by the people. Tats unrealistic for a
population of over 300 million, but Americans have considered themselves a democracy
because we were able to infuence our elected representatives. Tere was a reasonable
expectation they would listen to our concerns and do the will of the people. Tat was
great, except now we no longer have any infuence. Te Supreme Court took it away
when they decided that limits on campaign contributions were unconstitutional and
that corporations, unions, and special interests have the same rights as people. Since
elections cost millions, our representatives must do the will of their big donors. Do you
think the billionaires want the same things for our country that we do?
Tats why Republican and Democrats together have voted in overwhelming
majorities in communities across the nation for a Constitutional amendment that
allows campaign contributions to be regulated and denies corporations person-hood.
Te problem is with our elected Republican representatives. Tey promote our broken
campaign system. Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell was recently quoted telling
the billionaire Koch brothers, I dont know where wed be without you, and he says
that any Constitutional amendment to take big money out of politics is An act of true
radicalism.
When the Senate voted on such an amendment in August, it broke along party
lines as every Republican voted against it, including our own Senator Kelly Ayotte.
When the New Hampshire Senate voted to support such an amendment only one
Republican voted for it. Our local Senator, Republican Chuck Morris, voted against
it. Te Republican leadership says the Supreme Court decisions uphold freedom
of speech since money is used to buy advertisement. How cynical is that? Te
court eliminated the ability of over 90 percent of Americans to have any say in their
government because we cant compete with billionaires, and they gift-wrapped and
gave our freedom of speech to the top one percent or so. Our elected Republicans have
spoken. Your beliefs, whether you lean to the left or to the right, no longer matter;
only the big donors matter. So, regardless of our party af liations, we must reclaim our
democracy through a Constitutional amendment, and to do that we need Democrats in
of ce. I urge you to vote for our Democratic candidates in this election; they fght for
democracy while elected Republicans fght for the big donors.
Scott Abercrombie, Salem
Veterans Courts Help
Freedom is not free. In this country, we realize this simple truth. We are fortunate
that many young men and woman volunteer to protect our freedom by serving in the
armed forces. Without these brave men and women, our Country would not be what
it is today. Tus, it only makes sense that we should give back to our veterans who
experience criminal dif culties by creating a Veterans Court in Rockingham County.
Tese soldiers can see and experience horrendous acts of violence during their tours
of duty. As a result, when these soldiers return home they can sufer from depression,
drug/alcohol addiction, sleep disorders, post -traumatic stress disorder and traumatic
brain injury.
Fortunately, help is available for our veterans through the U.S. Department of
Veterans Afairs, health system (VA). Te VA has established programs and services to
specifcally address issues our veterans consistently face when leaving the armed services.
Tese services are available only to our veterans who qualify for Veterans assistance.
Veterans courts involve cooperation and collaboration with traditional partners
found in Drug Courts and Mental Health Courts such as the prosecutor, defense
counsel, treatment provider, probation and law enforcement. Added to this team are
representatives of the Veterans Health Administration and the State Department of
Veterans Afairs. Many Veterans Courts also encourage volunteer veteran mentors to
join the collaborative efort because these mentors know frst- hand the challenges a
veteran can face. Tese volunteer veteran mentors have become a critical part of the
team because veterans tend to listen to, and relate more to other veterans.
Te wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have taken an unprecedented toll on our men
and women in uniform. Far too many struggle in their efort to readjust to life outside
the military. Often, mental health issues are compounded by substance abuse, family
strife, unemployment, and homelessness; ultimately leading to incarceration. We as a
community should strive to give veterans the care they have earned while keeping them
out of jail and giving them the tools they need to once again live as productive citizens.
Rockingham County should take full advantage of alternative sentencing programs
for our veterans. Similarly, the county should advocate for and fund Drug Court and
Mental Health Courts as these programs can reduce crime and recidivism while saving
the taxpayers of Rockingham County money.
Patricia Conway, Salem
Oh Tee of Little Faith
Regarding Ann McFeatters letter in a local daily newspaper on Growing global
religious frenzy. In answer to her frst question about the foundation on which our
country was established, I would respond that her choices are not fair. First of all,
our founding fathers were convinced that our citizens should have the right to choose
and practice their religion without government interference. Tats what the First
Amendment is about as well as freedom of speech, press and assembly. Tat doesnt
equate to the principle of separation of church and state. Tose who wrote the
Constitution and Bill of Rights were convinced that the only way this nation could
continue to exist and thrive was if it were a nation of people who believed and followed
a God who was loving and just. Only if thats true will people try to live their lives
according to a higher law and purpose other than their own selfsh desires. Do we want
those who represent us in Congress to have those same values driving the work they do
in enacting the laws we must comply with? You bet! Te worst possible situation in
Congress would be to have no-one of faith present there.
Ms. McFeatters uses a lot of statistics to try to convince us that our political leaders
are being overly infuenced and possibly even controlled by members of organized
religion. Trends in our society dont seem to indicate that at all. Consider the travesty
of abortion; if someone is campaigning for of ce at the state or national level, all they
have to do to gain support is to accuse their opponent of waging a war on women by
trying to place limits on this crime against humanity. Consider the recent legalization
of the use of marijuana for recreational purposes. Certainly that would not have
happened if religion was controlling the legal process. At one time, cohabitation was
actually illegal; today, parents consider themselves lucky if their daughter or son even
want to get married civilly. To want to celebrate their commitment within the walls of
the church is the exception.
Ms. McFeatters states that our motivation for wanting religion more involved in
politics is: deteriorating economic conditions, dissatisfaction with political leadership,
and a collective sense of helplessness. She then challenges us to have faith in our
ability to right all of this and to create a better future. I believe that much of what were
experiencing is because we have ignored and failed to live by those values that produce
the fruit of good economic conditions, good political leadership and a confdence in
the future. We cant blame it all on our leadership; they refect the lifestyle that the
majority of us are living. Have faith Ms. McFeatters advises us. Yes, but having faith
in ourselves and our country as a whole depends on our having faith that we are on
the right path, a path that has been revealed to us by our God. Belief in God is not
something to fear if we are courageous enough as a nation to speak out when religion is
used for selfsh, brutal agendas.
David Costello, Salem
Scott Browns Priorities arent New Hampshires
Here are a few facts about Scott Browns Granite-headed end-around against Senator
Jeanne Shaheen that even a card-carrying lifetime Republican voter should abhor.
Earlier this year before formally announcing his Senate run Brown, in a classic
show-his-true-colors Washington subterfuge, convinced his conservative friends in the
Senate to vote against the bipartisan Shaheen-Portman energy conservation agreement
that already had all the votes needed (including Kelly Ayottes) for a legislative victory
until Brown started his behind-the-scenes wheedling act to scuttle it. Ayotte, as well as
Maines Susan Collins, both deserve kudos for ignoring Brown and still unsuccessfully
voting for the measure, while many other GOP senators caved to Browns pressure.
Subsequently, in a disgraceful display of disingenuousness, the New Hampshire
Republican party released a ludicrous missive after the failed vote, writing that Shaheen
doesnt have a single legislative accomplishment to run on as she seeks re-election.
Its time to end Jeanne Shaheens failed tenure in the Senate and replace her with a
responsible Republican who can get results for New Hampshire.
As is often the case, the GOP must think that Granite State voters dont investigate
their candidates. And also that Scott Brown is a responsible Republican, despite
killing a measure that wouldve saved corporations, both small and large, billions of
dollars annually in energy conservation and ef ciency technologies.
Scott Browns employment with Kadant, Inc was uncovered in August before he
announced his Senate run. Tis corporation has been infamous for years due to its
rampant outsourcing of former American jobs to China and Mexico, and during his
year-plus time with them he earned nearly $400,000 in stock options and salary. Tis
while New Hampshire has lost nearly 21,000 jobs to China, the highest number of jobs
of all 50 states, over the past decade.Furthermore, during his short time in the Senate
after besting Massachusetts Martha Coakley in 2010 to replace the late Ted Kennedys
seat, Brown voted to allow this outsourcing in every vote that came up, making him an
enemy to Americas job production performance even as we were still recovering from
the 2007-2011 recession. Jeanne Shaheen on the other hand voted against corporate
outsourcing during that same period. On every vote.
Another source of employment for Brown as he cashed in on his former Senate
position was with Global Digital Solutions, a Florida beauty product manufacturer. His
senior adviser position with Global turned into a public relations nightmare when
the corporation turned out to be hiding a shadow group that was planning to become
an arms supplier and manufacturer if they were successful in purchasing Remington
Arms Co. But in reality this infnitesimal corporation had no of ce space or product
creation, and earlier this year their chief executives were sued for securities fraud. So
after earning 1.5 million shares of stock after joining their board in 2013 Brown
resigned last June as all the information about Global was threatening to implode his
candidacy before it had even begun. Brown is apparently hoping that Granite State
voters are either ignorant of everything about him, or just dont care.
Please Google the above issues and do a little information-gathering instead of
being swayed by all the lies emanating from your TV set. Keep in mind that nationally
the two most right-wing billionaires in America are blanketing the other 49 states
with similar false advertising junk that were all being inundated with. Teir dirty
politicking is well-known but they can easily aford it, enabled by the Citizens United
SCOTUS ruling that switched political advertising advantages to corporations (like the
Kochs) from individuals (the rest of us). And the tax breaks these misers will realize
if their national aims come to fruition on November 4 while the middle class sinks
economically into the sunset will all be due to voters falling for their media blitz.
William F. Klessens, Salem
Voting for the People
Tree reasons to vote for me Jane Lang and send me to Concord as your Salem State
Representative:
I will vote for the People and not the Political Party
I will advocate for Senior Citizens and Children for the services they need to
lead a sustainable lifestyle
I will connect Salem to Concord when issues arise that concern my
constituents, and not just keep them in Concord and Salem.
Please, I ask for your Vote on Tuesday, November 4
Jane Lang, Salem
Remember your Middle Class Values
Recently Forbes released its annual list of the 400 wealthiest Americans. Tis year
they have a combined wealth of $2.29 trillion - more wealth than the bottom half
of Americans (over 150 million Americans). Median family income has declined
by approximately $5,000 since 1999. Half of the people in the U.S. have less than
$10,000 saved. Why? What is happening?
People like the Koch brothers (number 4 on the list) are spending hundreds of
millions of dollars on political campaigns - basically, buying votes in Congress. Votes
that favor them in their business dealings, votes that allow them to have a loud voice in
Congress and votes that make laws allowing the rich to get richer and gut the middle
class.
We have Republican Scott Brown (not even a true Granite Stater) running for our
Senate seat supported in large measure by Koch Brothers millions. We have Marilinda
Garcia - again the recipient of large Koch Brothers campaign donations - running for
a House seat. Te Koch Brothers can spend millions in support of these candidates
legally because of the catastrophic Citizens United Supreme Court ruling.
Are Brown or Garcia going to support the people of NH? Or are they going to
follow Koch Brothers guidance and vote to gut Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and
Federal Aid to Education?
In your heart you know the answer: Tey will vote the Koch way.
In Salem we have a signifcant senior citizen population. How would you fare if
Social Security were gutted and you lost your Medicare?
We must get out and vote on November 4 for people like Senator Jeanne Shaheen
and Representative Ann Kuster who have proven voting records in Congress in support
of the people of NH.
Jeanne Shaheen votes consistently for working families: equal pay for equal
work, bringing jobs home to the USA, fair share taxes to make sure millionaires and
billionaires pay their fair share in taxes. She consistently supports Social Security,
Medicare and Medicaid.
Ann Kuster votes for investing in our children not CEOs, equal pay for equal work,
and protecting Social Security and Medicare benefts.
As seniors we must get out and vote for candidates like
Shaheen and Kuster who consistently support middle class values
such as investing in our children and equal pay for equal work
and who support senior citizens by voting to protect Social
Security and Medicare.
Dee Lewis, Salem
Advocating for
Moderate NH Leaders
Tese two leaders of the New Hampshire Tea Party are
looking to move New Hampshire into this radical agenda.
A close examination of their positions on key policy issues
does not hold up to close scrutiny.
For example:
Marilinda Garcia states she wants to be a steward for the New
Hampshire environment while the Tea Party in Washington has
fled 150 bills to weaken and/or destroy the EPA, the agency in
charge of protecting our environment. Marilinda is promising
more economic growth with Tea Party policies while opposing
the funding of the Route 93 expansion, an essential infrastructure
project which will allow the New Hampshire economy to thrive
for many years. Tis project was funded by the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act an Obama stimulus program.
She is also opposed to minimum wage legislation and supports
Right to Work for Less. Both of these positions will stimulate the
economy at the expense of workers trying to make a living.
Marilinda is opposed to Obamacare, but currently has
temporary health insurance and has declined to comment on
whether her previous health insurance plan was purchased
through the Obamacare health exchange. Constantly criticizing
the increase in health insurance rates, what she fails to mention
is that the increase in costs is less than half of what it was before
Obamacare. We also have tens of thousands of NH citizens that
are now able to receive health insurance coverage through this
program and who cannot be denied coverage because of pre-
existing conditions. She ofers no detailed credible plan on how
to replace it. Te Tea Party position also so calls for elimination
of Medicare to be replaced by a voucher system without
guaranteed funding.
Marilinda also opposes the Violence
against Women Act as well as Equal Pay
for Equal Work legislation. Apparently
she is common sense challenged.
Anne Kusters record of moderation and
bipartisanship is the right path for New
Hampshire. Te last thing New Hampshire
needs is one more Tea Party member in
Washington to add to the GOP House
mess.
Bill OBrien has his agenda also. Blow
up UNH with a 50 percent budget cut,
close state mental health facilities, bring
back guns to the state house, and introduce
them into college dorms.
Sadly, these two politicians represent
the new Republican Party, moderate
Republicans, and even some conservative
Republicans are being purged from the
Party in record numbers for failing to
endorse the Tea Party platform.
Democrats, Independents, and
traditional Republicans cannot stay home
on Election Day.
Every vote counts. Keep New
Hampshire leadership in the hands of
moderate politicians who will keep New
Hampshire moving forward.
John Mosto, Salem
Doing their Bidding
Scott Brown, the former Senator from Massachusetts has only been a resident of
New Hampshire for less than a year. He has never done anything for the people of
New Hampshire! Senator Jeanne Sheehan has served multiple times as a popular
governor and senator striving to improve the lives of the people of New Hampshire
and help individuals.
He opened his campaign by calling this popular public of cial, mother and
grandmother a liar.
He is promising to join with Mitch McConnell and the other senators mostly from
the southern states to end the Afordable Health Care Act. Scott Brown would like to
do the following:
End health care for 50 million Americans who had no previous coverage
including 50,000 in New Hampshire.
End health care coverage for young people under 26 who are covered
under their parents insurance,
End coverage for people who might come down with a serious illness.
As an example, they might lose both their job and their coverage. Tey
could be refused insurance in another program because of a Preexisting
Condition.
End birth control coverage for women
End for seniors the new beneft - 50 percent discount under the Medicare
Prescription Donut Hole Program.
Return to the insurance cap. If you have a serious illness, the insurance
company will only pay a certain amount and then you are on your own.
You may be forced to mortgage your house until they foreclose,
End preventive care coverage e.g. health screenings and annual visits.
End health education and an emphasis on a healthy life style.
End computerize medical records.
Return to double digit health insurance increases.
Scott Brown has never had an idea for health care reform! He does not have one
now! He wont have one in the future!
Te Koch Brothers are paying for Scott Browns enormous signs and dreadful TV
ads. He will be doing their bidding.
Richard J. OShaughnessy, Salem
Bringing Pride to Salem
I write to thank my neighbors in Salem who went to the polls on Primary Day and
wrote my name on the ballot for State Representative. It was humbling and amazing
to realize so many supporters acted as one to put my name forward to represent them
in Concord.
Ive accepted their nomination, and look forward to earning the votes of many
more Salem voters on Election Day November 4.
During my terms on Salems Board of Selectmen and while I chaired the board, I
had the privilege of learning a great deal about Salems local challenges and worked
to bring the board together to solve those. It was an honor to act on behalf of all
residents who trusted me to help maintain a high level of service, ensure the integrity
and professionalism of Salems board, while keeping property taxes within reason. If
elected as your State Representative, I would bring the same skills to Concord.
Too often in recent years, Salem has gone unrecognized in Concord. Our town is
truly an important economic engine of the state, and our needs deserve to be heard
and respected. If entrusted to represent Salem in the NH House, Ill take a party-
blind approach, focusing on building consensus and solving problems with anyone
who wishes to do the same. Its simply not enough to show up for a vote; to truly be
efective for Salem, there are relationships that must be cultivated, understandings that
must be reached, and trust that must be earned.
I hope to meet many more of my neighbors as I campaign over the coming weeks.
I look forward to hearing your concerns and your hopes for our community and state.
Most of all, I look forward to bringing a strong sense of pride to Salem if elected
November 4 to be one of your State Representatives.

see, the laptop is a necessary tool of the modern
police department.
As soon as we came to the rst light at the
intersection of Veterans Parkway and Route 28,
Ofcer Decker began typing in license plate
numbers. I asked if there was something about
the vehicles that he saw that was wrong. He said
no, that they often enter license plates during
patrol; it is how they are able to nd people and
vehicles with outstanding warrants.
Traveling north on Route 28, we drove up to a
vehicle that had a brake light out. Ofcer Decker
entered the license number and put on the patrol
car lights to have the vehicle pull over to the side.
The driver pulled over and we drove up behind
him. The ofcer read the information that the
computer had provided him and he exited the
patrol car.
Before exiting the vehicle, he made a radio call
to Salem dispatch informing them of his location
and the license number of the car. Walking up to
the vehicle, you could see
Ofcer Decker was closely
inspecting the driver
and the vehicle. After
approaching the vehicle,
the ofcer and the driver
had a short conversation,
then the driver handed the
ofcer what appeared to be
his license and registration.
Ofcer Decker then
returned to the vehicle,
did some queries on the
computer, and returned to
the vehicle, sending the
driver on his way.
Once Ofcer Decker
returned to the vehicle, he
again made a radio call to
dispatch that he was clear
and that he had given the
driver a warning for the
broken brake light. When
I asked him about the stop,
he told me that many of the trafc stops in town
are for equipment violations and that they end
up in verbal warnings. However, it is a way that
they are able to nd people that have warrants for
more serious crimes.
During the evening, I witnessed Ofcer Decker
make two other trafc stop and they all went
the same way. During each of the stops, I saw
that the ofcer had a condence about him,
demonstrating a seriousness about his job, and
yet maintaining a relaxed demeanor. He had
conversations with all of the drivers. During
one of the conversations, Ofcer Decker and the
driver of the vehicle that he had pulled over had
a short chuckle together.
Our rst call was to a property owner/tenant
dispute. When we arrived at the home of the
property owner, it was obvious that he was upset
with the actions of the tenant. Ofcer Decker
listened intently to the property owner to get his
side of the story. We soon left and went to the
home that the tenant was living in. There Ofcer
Decker listened to the tenant and then informed
him that he needed to stop the actions that he had
been doing. After watching the tenant remove the
offending items from the property, we returned to
the property owner to tell him the problem had
been taken care of.
The next call was for a person that said he or
she was being harassed on the phone by a former
friend. After taking the report, we returned to the
station in order that Ofcer Decker could try to
reach the alleged harasser. He could not reach
the person, but he did leave a message.
While in the station, I saw a different ofcer
preparing evidence from an
incident that he was involved
in. I watched this ofcer
carefully put a syringe into a
plastic tube and mark the tube
with an evidence sticker. The
ofcer pointed to a small bag
that contained heroin; he also
pointed out that the $50 bill
on the table was taken from
the woman that was involved.
The bill also contained heroin,
which I could see for myself. I
was told that this evidence was
from a drug arrest involving a
small child being stuck with the
used dirty syringe.
While preparing to go on
patrol again, a dispatcher
said something to Ofcer
Decker. I did not know what
it meant, but I would soon nd
out. Once in the patrol car,
we drove to the front of the
station. A young man and his
mother were waiting for us. I
was told this is a young man
with an infatuation for police
cars. Nick, as I was told was
his name, was excited to see us.
He took several snapshots, and
then asked the ofcer to turn
on the lights and sirens. Ofcer
Decker obliged the young man
who was very excited and took
a video of the patrol car with the
sirens going and lights ashing.
Salem police had made a young
man and his mom happy.
Continuing the patrol, we went
through several neighborhoods
looking for the vehicle of a
known habitual offender. We
had no luck nding the car or the
person in question.
Soon we received a call to
go to a North Salem home for a
report of a burglary.
Once at the home, Ofcer
Decker went to the front door.
There he was met by a woman
who allowed him to come into
the house. From my position
in the car, I could see Ofcer
Decker walking throughout
the house. He was obviously
looking around thoroughly. It
was a while before he came back
to the car to inform me that we
could be here for some time. He explained that
there was a burglary and that other ofcers would
be coming to the scene soon. In a short time, two
other police cars arrived on the scene; one ofcer
had a camera out and another was carrying what
looked like a toolbox. They entered the home.
While I was waiting for Ofcer Decker, I could
see that there was broken glass in the driveway. I
told Ofcer Decker about this glass when he came
out. He and the other ofcers went to inspect it;
this told them that a vehicle was possibly used to
take the stolen property away.
While I was waiting in the patrol car I was
listening to the police radio. I began to hear many
calls, sending police and ambulances to a ght in
the Oakridge Road neighborhood.
Ofce Decker and the other ofcers soon
came out. The other ofcers quickly raced away.
Soon we were right behind them. We had our
sirens blaring and lights ashing as we traveled
down North Main Street to Bridge Street, then
to Lawrence Road, on to Route 28 and then to
Oakridge. The trip from North Salem down to the
Massachusetts border took us about four minutes.
Traveling down the narrow winding roads of
Salem was thrilling. However, having condence
in Ofcer Decker, it was not a fearful ride. At
times, we hit speeds close to 75 miles an hour.
Once at the scene, a ranking ofcer told
Ofcer Decker to get me back to the station
and then return. Ofcer Decker seemed a little
disappointed in being told to leave the scene of a
large incident, but as he told me its all about the
luck of timing and him putting in his time. He
would get his chances. Ofcer Decker dropped
me off in front of the station and he sped away.
Back to the scene of the crime.
During my ride along I got to see several
of our Salem police ofcers doing their jobs.
They impressed me as very mature, smart, and
professional men and women. They obviously
have been well trained. They back each other up,
not just on the road, but in the station. They share
the knowledge that they have attained with their
fellow ofcers. After going out on this ride along,
I now feel that I know a little more about what the
police ofcers in Salem do and I know much more
about the ofcers themselves. I now have even
more respect for police ofcers than I had before
my ride along.
6 - October 10, 2014 | Salem Community Patriot

Amid a discord of barks, yips, growls and
panting, Fr. John Michalowski blessed almost
two dozen animals, all of them dogs.
Weve had other animals blessed in the
past, Michalowski said. Weve been doing
this for about four years and weve had turtles,
cats and even a hamster.
The Blessing of the Animals is honor of St.
Francis of Assisi who, according to Roman
Catholic tradition, could speak to and
understand animals and is the patron saint of
animals.
The service began with singing with Kyle
Erickson, 17, playing the guitar and the various
dog owners shushing their dogs and trying to
sing along.
Next, Fr. Michalowski said, The animals of
Gods creation inhabit the skies, the earth and
the sea. They share in the fortunes of human
existence and have a part in human life. God,
who confers his gifts on all living things, has
often used the service of animals or made them
symbolic reminders of the gifts of salvation:
Animals were saved from the ood and
afterwards made a part of the covenant with
Noah (Genesis 9:9-10) The paschal lamb
brings to mind the Passover sacrice and
the deliverance from the bondage of Egypt
(Exodus 12:3-14) a giant sh saved Jonah
(Jonah 2:1-11) ravens brought bread to Elijah
(l Kings 17:6) animals were included in the
repentance enjoined on humans (Jonah 3:7)
and animals share in Christs redemption of
all of Gods creation. We therefore invoke
the divine blessing on these animals through
the intercession of St Francis. As we do so, let
us praise the creator and let us ask God that,
remembering our human dignity, we may walk
always in holiness.
The animals and their owners proceeded
through two posts adorned with colorful
balloons and stopped before Michalowski who
then blessed each dog with a prayer and a
splash of holy water.
I think its great to be able to do this, said
the owner of one-year-old Oliver, a black
Schipperke (pronounced Skipper Key).
Jody Shaw, owner of a four-year-old Boxer
named Letty agreed, Its great that they are
blessing the animals because they are such a
blessing to us,
There was one miracle though, during the
entire service which lasted about a half hour,
with all those dogs present there was no single
accident, until it was over and then, just one.

Accomplish Your to-do List of Finishing the Deck this Fall
(BPT) - If you have a wood deck,
chances are that its made its way onto
your summer to-do list. And if summer
quickly slipped by you without that list
being completely checked off, dont
worry, you still have plenty of time in
the fall months to nish your deck.
What many people dont know is
that the deck-renishing process has
greatly improved over the years. It used
to require a long week spent sanding
every board, treating damaged areas,
nishing the entire area and then put-
ting a protective coat on top. And then
if something wasnt done perfectly,
youd have to redo the area again, add-
ing to the frustration. In many cases,
these multiple steps are no longer needed.
Before you get started though, do a little test to see if nishing is even
needed. Pour a few drops of water onto the surface. If the water soaks into the
wood within 10 seconds, your deck is ready for a new stain. If not, enjoy your
deck for another six months before repeating the test. If the wood looks gray,
but passes the test, try a specialized wood cleaner to give it a fresh, new look.
If your deck didnt pass the water test, youll want to spread the work over
several days, just to make certain your deck has time to fully dry between
steps. With excellent deck-nishing products available, youll be able to enjoy
your deck with less work, and you wont have to worry about nishing it
again for a long time.
If you have never nished
your deck or if its been a long
time, check out the Deci-
sion Guide provided by Flood
Wood Care at www.ood.com/
guideme. It walks you through
the steps of determining which
nish you want and helps you
nd a store in your neighbor-
hood where you can make your
purchase. Here are some tips
for completing the project with
ease:
1. Clean the deck thoroughly
with a wood cleaner and a stiff
scrub brush. Let the cleaner
soak into the wood for a half-
hour before washing away
completely. Allow your deck to
dry for a couple of days.
2. Choose your stain. Trans-
parent nishes are ideal for new, less-
weathered wood, and they allow the
natural wood color and grain pattern to
show through. Flood Wood Care CWF-
UV penetrates into the wood deeply,
protecting your deck against moisture
and sun damage for many years to
come. It also resists mildew.
3. Pick the right day, one when the
deck area isnt exposed to direct sun
and the temperature is between 50 and
90 degrees. You also will want to look
at the future forecast and nd a date
that will allow you to avoid rain for 48
hours.
4. Use a roller to apply the nish in
an even pattern across the oor of your
deck. Be sure to use a brush and back brush along the surface - in the direc-
tion of the grain - for uniformity and to help the product penetrate the wood
for better absorption.
5. On vertical surfaces like railing posts, start from the top and work the n-
ish downward, so you can smooth out any drips and runs.
6. Clean all tools thoroughly. Flood Wood Care CWF-UV cleans easily
with soap and water so you can reuse your tools for future
projects.
Thanks to more advanced products, youll spend less time
on your hands and knees scrubbing your deck, and more
time enjoying the beautiful nished look.
Roth Shows Commitment and Class
at Campaign Kickoff
by Len Lathrop
Beth Roth, former chairperson of the
Salem Board of Selectmen, explained to
family, friends and the whos who of the
Salem Democratic Party that she has the
platform and motivation to become one
of the nine Salem state representatives to
be elected on November 4.
The Todesca family hosted the party
at its Colosseum Restaurant on Tuesday
evening. They provided many appetizing
Colosseum special treats for the folks to
try.
With 27 days until the election, Roth
outlined her platform. She stressed that
she will consistently show up and vote
for the people of Salem. The economic
situation of Salem and the region is
important to her, and she believes that
gaming is inuential to the town and the
state. The non-prots and special-interest groups
need nancial support which gaming could provide
without additional taxes.
Rockingham Park had a history of supporting
business in the southern New Hampshire town.
Over the course of its history, they have contributed
over $400 million directly to the states revenue,
not to mention the sheer number of jobs that they
created during their time.
Roth brings to her candidacy a vast history of
dealing one on one with people in her various
careers as nurse, social worker and attorney.
Beth is looking to serve Salem and the state of
New Hampshire with excellence. She hopes that
everyone can get out and vote on November 4!

Sundowning may Lead
to Moms Anxious Evenings
Salem Community Patriot | October 10, 2014 - 7
by Paula Faist MS, LSW,
Silverthorne Adult Day Center
Can you tell me a little bit about sundowning?
What does it mean and what can I do about it
with my mom? Patty, Pelham.
This is a great question to be asking now, as
our days will become shorter when we move
our clocks backwards. Changing our clocks can
increase ones confusion. It gets darker earlier,
therefore, your mom may think it is time for bed,
time to go somewhere or time to leave the place
she just arrived at. There are also more shadows
occurring with the change of light at this time.
All of this can affect anyones mood or behavior,
especially one with dementia or Alzheimers.
Sundowning is a symptom of dementia or
Alzheimers, and generally occurs at the end
of the day and into the early evening. Some
signs of sundowning may be that you notice an
increase in anxiety and aggression with your
mom. Or you may see that she presents herself
as more restless or perhaps wandering a bit
more.
There are a few things you can try to do to
reduce sundowning behavior. The rst thing you
may want to do is stick to a plan. Confusion
and anger are common responses to the stress
someone may feel when encountering an
unusual or unfamiliar activity. Keep things
simple, calm and stick to a schedule to
minimize sundowning symptoms. You may
want to plan for activities, trips, etc., during
the day so your loved one is better exposed
to light. Try to maintain a routine for meals,
bedtime and waking. This may encourage
sleepiness in the early evening. It is also good
to create a familiar, relaxed setting. Have some
photographs of recognizable family members,
as well as, gentle, familiar music available to
help reduce any agitation. If you can reduce
background noise (including television, loud
talking, etc.) this may help keep the aggression,
anxiety and confusion at bay. It is always good
to talk to your loved ones doctor to see if there
may be an underlying condition, such as a UTI
(Urinary Tract Infection) that may be worsening
the sundowning behavior.
Sundowning is thought to be related to
changes in the bodys sleep-wake cycle. If you
keep your home brightly lit in the afternoon
and evening hours this may help reduce the
symptoms or sundowning. According to studies
published in Clinical Geriatrics people who were
exposed to more light late in the day show less
agitation as the night progresses. Light exposure
helps your body recognize the difference
between day and night.
It is also a great idea if you can write down
the triggers that seem to set off your mom. If
you keep a journal of activities, environment,
etc., it may be easier to avoid the situation that
causes the agitation at the end of the day. And
nally take care of you. It can be exhausting
caring for a mom with Alzheimers, as well as
the symptom of sundowning. Find some help
with friends and family. Join a caregiver group;
nd some respite such as Silverthorne or a home
care agency. You truly need to stay healthy to be
able to offer the care your mom needs.
Remember to send questions on elder
concerns or issues to paula@areanewsgroup.

Thumbs down to NH GOP: No business
which depends for its existence on paying less
than a living wage deserves to exist in this country.
I mean the wages of a decent living. Specically,
small and large businesses whose benet plans
include middle class taxpayer funded Medicaid
and food stamps. This thumbs down is for the
many NH GOP candidates who exploit workers
and the taxpayer with employees paid less
than living wages. The NH GOP is running a
longstanding misinformation campaign to make
greed seem like a virtue, despite the straw man
arguments greed is a vice.
Thumbs down to the two guys who announce
the SHS football games. Its obvious these guys
put about 37 seconds of preparation into each
game. You would think the players are changing
jerseys during the game! They are constantly
making mistakes, who made a tackle, who caught
the ball. How about a conversation with a coach
or the players during the week so they have a little
insight into the game? SHS has a new AD, new
Coach, may be time for these guys to ride into the
sunset. Until then, volume knob is all way
down. This regards to the two guys who
do the TV broadcast.
Thumbs down to the GOP: The GOP
candidates for U.S. Senate and U.S. House
of Representative re totally unqualied
to represent New Hampshire. The GOP
Senate candidate is a carpetbagger, a JAG
lieutenant colonel in the Massachusetts
National Guard with one week of duty
outside that state, who knows nothing
about our state and will vote for the Koch
Brothers and answer to Carl Rove. The
GOP Second District candidate is without
any experience, with no accomplishments
beyond voting against the wishes of her
constituents. She will vote for the Koch Brothers
and answer to Carl Rove.
Thumbs down to the Boston Bruins.
September 25 the Bruins-Capitals preseason game
was telecast nationally by the NHL Network
except in Boston/NESN area (including NH).
The game was in Washington, DC, it was not
broadcast on NESN; it was not broadcast on
NESN+, but for some reason the Bruins ownership
saw t to black out their home market from
watching the game. And come April it will be the
same treatment, Bruins playoff games relegated to
NESN+ to make way for regular season Red Sox
games, any time the two teams are playing the
ownerships show their true colors.
Thumbs down to Myths about Voter Fraud:
The Koch brothers owned GOP is spreading faerie
tales about voter fraud. It has gotten so bad that a
retired military identication is not good enough
to vote in NH! The GOP must keep good citizens
who care about New Hampshire from voting
so that the frauds running to
represent only the Kochs might
squeak in!
Thumbs down to Salem
Scouts. I understand that the
Scout masters of the Boy Scouts
are volunteers and I appreciate
that and the time they give. But
seriously, as a former military
guy I was disgusted to see
three big bellied men in Scout
uniforms, all in disarray with
no uniformity sitting outside a
local store stufng their faces
while supposedly supervising
youngsters doing a fund raiser.
Clean yourselves up, be proud
of the uniform and be a better
example or hang it up.
Thumbs down. Where is
Eric Holder? We have two
horric killings recently of
black home grown terrorists
brutally killing a white woman
in Oklahoma and a white honor
student in New Jersey and all
we get is silence from Eric
Holder and Obama. What is
the problem with the Obama
administration? Both Obama
and Holder were extremely
premature in passing judgement
on the Ferguson, MO, case
where a black thug was killed
by a white cop before all the evidence was
revealed and has yet to be revealed. Eric Holder
and Obama I ask you, who appears to be the
racists and cowards now?
Thumbs up/Thumbs down. Jeanne Shaheen
supports Obama and his destructive agenda and
always votes for anything Obama wants. I have
a question for the New Hampshire voters who
may support Jeanne Shaheen. Then, why
doesnt Jeanne Shaheen want Obama to
come to New Hampshire to campaign for
her? I know why, she knows Obama is
toxic and does not want him to be in any
way, associated with her. Now, at election
time she separates
herself from the man
she has supported and
admired. What a fraud
and a hypocrite. New
Hampshire deserves
much better than Jeanne
Shaheen, a transplant
from Missouri.
Thumbs up for the Salem
Police Department. My son was
in an accident today. Luckily no
one was hurt. The Salem Police
came out, assisted us, and spoke
with my son in great detail about
being a new driver. They talked to him about how
important it is to take all necessary precautions
Ofcer Gregory Pepper did an amazing job in
educating my son and making sure that my son
understood the proper way to handle an accident.
He also took special care in making sure my son
felt comfortable that the police were there to assist
him.
Thumbs up to whoever nally gured out
how to properly set a man-hole cover even with
the road surface. It happened this week on the
corner of South Policy and Pleasant Street. Its a
thing of beauty. I wont have to keep swerving
to miss a pounding on my suspension. People
stopped and took pictures. Someone in this town
nally gured out how to do it! Who was that?
Put that guy on the next project: getting rid of the
railroad ties. Glory days. A public servant that
did something right.
Thumbs down to Scott Brown and his attempt
to replace Jeanne Shaheen, a woman who has
been a beloved, extremely hard-working, and
effective gure in New Hampshire politics on so
many levels for decades. His arrogance in selling
his Wrentham, Massachusetts home and move to
his summer place up here trying to pass himself
off as a Granite Stater would be laughable on
its face alone. Only the $2 million-plus that the
Koch brothers sank into his campaign makes it
possible for Brown to continue savaging Shaheen
in TV and print. And if his summer home had
been in Maine or Vermont, he wouldve been just
as happy selling his wares there.
Thumbs down. OMG, now the Democrats
and Obama are trying to blame the Republicans
for this Ebola outbreak in America. It is Obama,
Jeanne Shaheen and Ann Kuster who want open
borders, it is Obama who does not want to stop
incoming ights from Ebola infested countries
and Shaheen and Kuster agree. It was Obama
that said there was no chance of Ebola inltrating
America and now we have one conrmed case in
Texas and over 100 people potentially infected.
Obama and Democrats, Shaheen and Kuster have
no problem subjecting us and our families to
this most horric virus with no cure. These three
reckless and irresponsible so called leaders are
dangerous for America.
Thumbs up/Thumbs down to Scott Brown.
Hes a total disgrace. In his ads he claims that if
hes elected to the Senate in New Hampshire, hell
secure the border to Mexico. Why, then, when he
was Senator from Massachusetts, didnt he secure
the border to Mexico? He must think the people
of NH are really dumb.

Senator K. Ayotte Lauds Homeland Heroes for Veterans Support
by Len Lathrop
Tucked away in the large business complex at One Wall Street is
a treasure for veterans who need some help setting up a new home.
Whether it is when returning from a deployment in country or
around the world or when life events call for a new place to live, the
non-prot foundation, the Homeland Heroes Foundation, has found
a way to help. Picture an almost 2,000 square feet of household
space that includes tables and chairs to bed and rugs to soft goods
and dishes and even art for the walls.
Now meet Julie Weymouth and Kim McMahon, who have been
working for a year to provide these important items to complete
a household for veterans. Senator Ayotte recently visited with the
Salem Chamber for a celebration of their rst year of work and the
50 military families they have helped.
All the items are donated by community folks and are cleaned
and repaired if needed. As McMahon told everyone, they wanted
items that they would want in their own homes as people need to
feel good about their space. But even more, they wanted veterans
to be able to shop with dignity. While Weymouth explained that
she uses social media for special requests, the New Hampshire
National Guard, the Veterans Administration and Easter Seals have
helped with those requests. She continued, We know that when a
counselor calls us, were actually helping someone who is really in
need.
While the items are free, veterans are asked for a donation
that they can afford. The space has been donated by Chartwell
Properties, Messina Flooring provided new carpets, and both ladies
pointed to 1-800-GOT-JUNK, out of Nashua, who donated their
trucks and manpower to get furniture to Hudson.
The Homeland Heroes Foundation, while started by Weymouth
and McMahon, is governed by a board of directors and continues
to raise funding for the efforts. Weymouth saw the impact that
this type of program makes while working with a similar group in
Massachusetts who had a Christmas drive for moms and children at
Camp Edwards.
Ayotte, who had high praise for the efforts and how far the non-
prot had come in just one year, was excited to see the community
involvement.
While donations are always welcome, space is at a premium.
Please call Kim and Julie to see if they can handle your donation.
Phone (617) 910-6948; e-mail: Info@homelandheroesfoundation.
org or visit their Facebook page and web site.

Two, four, six, eight, First Graders are really great.
September has been a very busy month and First Grade
is off to a great start. Our new rst graders have been
getting to know all about each other and are learning to
read each others names. They are working very hard to
hear letter sounds, nd words they already know in the
environment and read those very important sight words.
Theyve made great book choices and love reading quietly
to themselves in their private reading spots. Some Students
have already started working toward their Barron B.
This month, our classrooms will be full of books about
apples, pumpkins and everything related to the season of
fall. Apples and pumpkins will also be used as we explore
our 5 Senses. Just think of all the ways we use our senses
as we cut into a pumpkin and scoop out the seeds.
In math, they have been discovering all the places
numbers can be found. Youll nd First Graders searching
for examples of how numbers are used in our world
everywhere they go. Calendars, clocks, thermometers,
sale yers and bus numbers are just a few examples. They
are becoming very good observers! Learning number
value, comparing numbers, making tallies and counting
on a number line are some of the many ways they are
exploring numbers. They have been using this knowledge
about numbers as they delve into activities connected to
addition and subtraction. Our new interactive projectors
have helped everyone see and show many different ways
to solve problems. Theyre having fun drawing or moving
counters right on the board.
First graders left self-portraits, books and activities for
their parents to see at Open House. They asked their
parents if it was fun sitting in our little chairs while
listening to their teachers talk about all the things that will
happen throughout the year.
Everyone had a wonderful time showing their
Grandparents (and special friends) their classrooms and the
many new things theyve
learned so far. As you can
tell, Grade One has been
very busy since school
started and everyone is
looking forward to an
exciting year.
A big Hero-Gram goes
out to the many parents
who helped us get on and
off the bus, nd our lines
and learn our way around
Barron during the rst
weeks of school.

The Salem High School
boys Soccer homecoming
day game on Saturday
morning, September 27 was
symbolic of the entire 2014
season. The Blue Devils
fought for every point; yet, in
the end, it was not enough.
I think this game was
indicative of the season.
We played as tough as nails
and we have good quality
players; its just a matter
of getting on the same
page, said Coach Anthony
Karibian. I think thats still
coming. Well be all right.
Were in every game.
After falling behind early
on, Salem struck near the
midway point of the rst
half. Senior co-captain Todd
Righini scored with an assist
from sophomore Christian
Moreno to tie the game at
one goal apiece. The Blue
Devils and Owls battled to
break the stalemate with
Timberlane prevailing in the closing
moments of the rst half to take a 2-1
lead.
Every game is a ght. No one rolls
over us, said Karibian. So that lls
me full of promise. We can denitely
put it together.
Timberlane scored again early in
the second half. It looked as if the
game might get away from Salem, but
Moreno received an assist from Jacob
DiTore and delivered a rocket of a
shot that hooked into the Timberlane
net. Morenos goal was brilliant, said
Karibian. It put us on the front foot
and we were attacking.
Halfway through the second half,
a Salem mistake allowed another
Timberlane goal. Less than three
minutes later, Salem responded again,
this time on a penalty kick goal from
Righini that cut the lead to 4-3 in favor
of the Owls. Todd (Righini) played
very well. I thought Brett Grady
did really well to step up to create
chances, said Karibian. If we score
earlier, when we have those chances,
I think it relieves pressure late in the
game. Thats really been the story of
the season. We create chances, we
dont nish, and then, as the game
grinds on, we dont have that level of
comfort. So we need to score early.
Timberlane notched one more goal
from a rebound after a Salem save to
push the nal score to 5-3. The Blue
Devils continued to attack but could
not mount any more of a comeback as
Timberlane earned the victory.
I think we need to play with more
condence. These kids have the skills;
they just need to believe that they
do. We need more composure, said
Karibian. With composure comes
success, and thats what we need.
Sitting at 4-7 with ve games remaining
in the season, the Blue Devils will
need both composure and consistency
to punch their ticket to the Division I
Championship Tournament.
by Jacob Gagnon
The Salem High School girls Field Hockey team is in unfamiliar territory after
seasons of dominance. The Blue Devils have been consistent contenders for the
Division I crown over the last several seasons, yet this season has been a struggle
due to the graduation of so many key components to their past success. Still,
Coach John Gatsas is sure that his team will grow stronger from their recent
adversity.
Due to the losses from graduation, the 2014 squad has many of their strongest
athletes playing out of position. This has led to a string of losses that the Blue
Devils hope to halt as the season winds down.
At homecoming on Saturday afternoon, September 27, Salem hosted Timberlane
Regional High School. The young Blue Devils squad played tough, but could not
overcome the Owls. Salems 2-0 loss was not due to lack of effort or aggression.
The Blue Devils outshot Timberlane 14-4, but could not put away a single goal on
the afternoon.
I was happy how we played today, said Gatsas. We played aggressive. We
had 14 shots on goal, a number of corners; they just couldnt capitalize. We just
have to keep building off of that with the younger players. We have to be able to
nish those (shots) off, but that comes with experience. But well be all right.
With Salem attacking, the Owls were able to put away a second goal with a little
over two minutes remaining in the contest to seal the victory. It was an especially
painful loss considering how many opportunities the Blue Devils had earned
throughout the contest that they could not take advantage of.
Kayleigh Greeneld and Olivia Lacey played a good game. Holly Peterson
had some nice hits and Kiley (Keenan) played well in mid-eld, said Gatsas.
Maddison Rastello, a freshman, was named player of the game by Gatsas.
After winning their rst three games of the season, Salem had lost six straight,
with one tie, due to both a lack of offensive production and varsity experience.
Still, there is hope. As each game passes, the younger players gain condence and
experience that will help them shape the future of the Salem High program.
If we can play this well against the tougher teams, we will do all right the rest
of the way. Our goal is just to improve and hopefully make the tournament,
said Gatsas. Theres a lot of pride here.
by Jacob Gagnon
After an unusually rough start to the season, the Salem
High School girls Volleyball team has found their stride,
winning their last ve matches in a row.
The Blue Devils, who are relying on a younger, less
experienced core group of players this season, have seemed
to regain the same momentum that brought them to a NH
State Championship two seasons ago and a nals appearance
last year.
On Saturday afternoon, September 27, the Blue Devils
competed in their annual homecoming day contest by hosting
Timberlane Regional High School. Despite a strong showing
from Timberlane, Salems stellar performances continued
against the Owls. The Blue Devils took the rst three sets,
and the match (25-22, 25-21, 25-22).
Nicolette Fallisi led Salem in the game. Fallisi had 13 kills,
10 service points, and ve aces. Ashley Matthews had two
blocks, ve kills, and ve service points. Sam Riel recorded
ve digs, while teammate Rachel Towler notched 19 assists.
Salems winning ways continued the following week.
On Monday, September 29, the Blue Devils defeated
Londonderry High School, 3-0. A couple of days later on
Wednesday, October 1, Salem cruised to a win over Exeter
High School, 3-1. On Friday, October 3, the Blue Devils
notched a victory over Bishop Guertin, 3-1.
The Blue Devils record is 8-3 with seven matches
remaining in the season. If Salems progression this season is
any indication, the Blue Devils may earn a prominent spot in
the postseason tournament again this year.

It had been too long since the
Salem High School Football team
earned a homecoming game victory.
The reinvigorated 2014 Blue Devils
were ready to change that as they
hosted Timberlane Regional High
School on Saturday afternoon,
September 27 at Grant Field.
The week before, on Saturday
night, September 20, the Blue
Devils had suffered their rst loss
of the season, in heartbreaking
fashion, to the top-ranked Pinkerton
Academy Astros. On the verge of
tying the game, Salems offense had
been stopped on the half-yard line
in the nal seconds of the game,
allowing Pinkerton to collect the
win and remain unbeaten. The
Blue Devils responded by gutting
out a tough victory over a gritty
Owls squad, 24-21.
A win is a win. The kids played
hard and made plays when we
needed them to, said Coach
Robert Pike. The town is here;
a lot of the alumni are here so its
a big deal and a big showcase for
everybody. Its nice to get a win
today. Then again, they are all
nice.
Salem began the game with an
interception on Timberlanes rst
offensive drive from senior Kenny
Calabrese. Calabrese returned the
interception to the Owls side of
the eld to give his team a chance
to strike rst. Senior quarterback
John Cerretani connected on a
pass with Calabrese to set up rst
and goal. A couple of plays
later, junior running back Charles
Sibanda scored to put Salem
ahead, 7-0, eight minutes into the
rst quarter.
Salem would maintain that
lead until the nal ve minutes of
the half. Timberlanes freshman
running back Jacob Post broke
free of a tackle to score and tie the
game at seven points apiece. The
Owls earned a turnover on downs
on Salems next possession and
made the home team pay. With
less than a minute remaining in the
rst half, Timberlane took the lead
with another score from Post to
make it 14-7 at the half.
Salem honored the 2014 Salem
High School Hall of Fame class
during a halftime ceremony. The
recipients, Laura Potts, Brian
White, Kevin Moschella, Todd
Lyons, and David Rozumek, were
given a rousing applause from
the Salem community for their
accomplishments and services
that earned them a hall of fame
induction.
Salem could do little with their
rst possession of the second half.
Timberlane could do even less as a
third-down sack from junior Johnny
Bartose and classmate Tim Dodier
forced the Owls to punt. Salem
lost some momentum following
a Cerretani interception in the
nal three minutes of the third quarter. Cerretani
redeemed himself with a terric pass to Calabrese
to set up rst and goal with 22 seconds remaining
in the third quarter. The Owls were able to stop
the Blue Devils on the goal line for a turnover on
downs to retain their one-touchdown lead.
Following that possession, the Blue Devils
defensive efforts awakened the entire team. With
the Timberlane offense beginning on their own
half-yard line, Salem scored a safety to cut the
lead to 14-9 and win the ball back. Cerretani
took advantage of the opportunity and hurled
a touchdown pass to junior Nick Shumski.
Cerretani connected with junior Corey Ortiz on
the next play for the two-point conversion to
regain the lead, 17-14.
The defense has been playing great all year,
said Pike. They made some big stops.
Only a few plays later, another huge
defensive play empowered the Blue Devils as
Bartose intercepted a pass from the Timberlane
quarterback and returned it for a touchdown







with ve minutes remaining in the game.
The score expanded Salems lead, 24-14.
The Owls struck back moments later with a
touchdown to get within three points of the home
team. Salem was prepared to seal the victory
when the Blue Devils defense made another
terric stop to force a turnover on downs with
1:40 left in the contest, but a Salem fumble gave
Timberlane one more chance.
Calabrese nished the game the same way
he started it: with an interception. This time,
Calabreses big play in the nal 38 seconds
nished off the Owls and earned Salem their rst
homecoming victory in seasons.
Calabrese had a couple of picks, (junior
linebacker) Doug Maroun made a ton of tackles
and was all over the place. On the D-line, (junior
lineman) Sean Nartiff was unbelievable, said
Pike. Defensively, we did a really good job.
Salem continued their success the following
week on Friday night, October 3, as they traveled
to Alvirne High School. The Blue Devils scored
a dominant win over the Broncos, 36-14, to
improve to 4-1 on the season. With only four
games remaining until the postseason, Salem is
poised to make their strongest run in years toward
a Division I Championship.
by Jacob Gagnon
The Salem High School girls Soccer squad
has experienced ups and downs all season. In
ve games this season, the Blue Devils have lost
by two goals or less. On Saturday afternoon,
September 27, Salem wanted nothing more than a
homecoming day victory.
The Blue Devils understood that they would
need another strong defensive effort if they were
going to defeat Timberlane Regional High School.
With the Salem community out to support its
high schools athletic squads, the home team was
able to strike rst. Ten minutes into the rst half,
forward Christina El Khoury broke free from Owl
defenders to score the sole goal of the game.
We have been getting progressively better,
said Coach Kendrick Whittle. We did things well
today.
El Khourys goal ensured a Salem
lead at the end of the rst half of the
contest. Salem continued to press
and pressure the Owls in the second
half and created opportunities for
themselves. Salem could not quite take
advantage of their chances to add to
their lead.
We had some opportunities that we
didnt take advantage of but, in the end,
it was enough to win, said Whittle.
I think the girls are making better
decisions, they are getting in a little bit
of a rhythm. They are some really good
things happening.
Once again, Salem goalkeeper
Victoria Andrade shined between the
pipes for the Blue Devils, halting any
momentum that the tough Timberlane
squad could muster. Andrade made a
number of impressive saves to maintain
Salems lead and ensure the home
teams 1-0 victory. It was Andrades rst
shutout of the season.
Meghan Mulvey has done a great job
anchoring our back line, said Whittle. But really
its the whole team. Everyone is getting better at
the right time. Victoria Hern, Rachel Lacroix, and
senior captain Harley Chute have all contributed
to the Blue Devils performances this season.
Following their victory over the Owls, Salem
lost to Londonderry High School, 3-0, on Tuesday,
September 30. A few days later, on Friday,
October 3, the Blue Devils defeated Nashua South
High School, 3-0, to extend their record to 4-7 on
the season with ve games remaining.
Our schedule gets harder so we are going to
have some really good opponents, and its going
to be interesting to see how the girls respond,
said Whittle. We want to keep getting better and
maybe sneak into the (Division I) Tournament.

The Salem School Board is considering
a request to dedicate the new Grant Field
scoreboard to the memory of longtime youth
football coach and Rams Youth Football President,
Peter Santarelli. Santarelli was instrumental
in getting the Rams organization to donate the
necessary funds to purchase the scoreboard.
Peter Santarelli devoted many years and
long hours to Salem youth athletics. He
was a coach and an ofcer in various
leagues, devoting many years and countless
hours to increasing opportunities in Salem.
He also served as a high school football game
ofcial. As a former accomplished athlete, Peter
understood the benets of sports and wanted to
ensure possibilities for school-aged kids.
Now, at the request of Dan Michaud, Rams
Youth Football president, the Salem School
Board will make a decision regarding this
recommendation at a meeting in October.
Anyone wishing to provide thoughts or comments
should contact the Ofce of the Superintendent of
Schools at 893-7040 or address correspondence

submitted by Trina Kohrs-Carr, TOP Soccer
In the spring of 2014, Alex and Jon Greenwood
decided to take on something new at Salem Youth
Soccer Association (http://www.salemsoccer.
com/) in Salem. Four months later, on the rst
day of fall, TOP soccer began in Salem. What is
TOP soccer? TOP soccer is The Outreach
Program for U.S. Youth Soccer Association
(http://www.usysa.org/) nationally to
provide children and families with special
needs the ability to participate in a soccer
program adapted to meet their needs.
On September 20, volunteers, buddies,
players and families got together in Salem
to kick off the start of this TOP soccer
program.
Thanks to the help of local businesses
(Seacoast United Foundation, Community
Crossroads and Chief Financial Ofcers)
this program is offered free to children with
special needs.
Families entrusted their children with
special needs to volunteer coaches and
buddies (up to high school age) who all
gave up their Saturday morning to be out
in the cool fall sun playing soccer.
It makes one proud to be part of such a
great community in Salem where young
players with special needs can learn about
a game involving teamwork and friendship.
And where youth can learn about the
differences and wonderful abilities of
others. Soccer just happens to be that
game which brings it all together.

of Different Abilities Together
