On the Road is more than just a
case and a courtroom, its an educational
experience. As the 16th stop on the
Supreme Courts On the Road event
Salem High School enjoyed the rare and
noteworthy opportunity to see the states
highest court hear two real cases. This
unique event provided students and invited
guests an unusual opportunity to learn
about the Supreme Courts work through a
dialogue with the lawyers and the justices.
The On the Road program is the only
occasion when the court convenes outside
the Supreme Court building in Concord, and
is one of the judges favorite experiences
of their jobs. The judges included Linda
Stewart Dalianis, Gary E. Hicks, Carol Ann
Conboy, Robert J. Lynne, and newcomer
James P. Basset. The Honorable Gary
E. Hicks says, He lives for the question
portion, and, the students always have
wonderful questions to ask.
The justices all hoped to engage and
educate the audience, specially selecting
the cases which they felt would interest
and resonate with the packed auditorium
of high schoolers. They commended the
attorneys saying that their arguments are
always excellent, and during the question
session the attorneys opened up to the
audience showing that they too viewed this
as an educational experience. Chief Justice
Stewart Dalianis says her main goal is to
express the humanity of law, and to show
the realness of every member involved in
the process. Though the events of the cases
cannot be divulged outside of court session,
the attorneys and justices did a marvelous
job of connecting to the audience and
showing a truly authentic court case. Right
down to the metal detectors in the hallway
and the rug used on the stage, the court
was almost an exact replica of the one you
would nd in Concord. Attorney
Stephan D. Fuller states, The entire
experience is almost identical to
what is in Concord, except for their
being quite a few more people in the
audience.
This was the goal of the entire
program: to show the public the
actual jobs and duties of the judicial
branch. Because even though there
is live streaming on their website,
the judges nd that few people
actually view it. To the judges,
sharing their experiences and efforts
is essential for students to have a
better understanding of the roles
government plays in their lives. The
American Studies classes from Salem
High School were all in attendance,
and though the classes could have

Fifty-eight thousand, three hundred.
Te Vietnam Veterans Memorial stands as
a symbol of Americas honor and recognition of
the men and women who served and sacrifced
their lives in the Vietnam War. Inscribed on the
black granite walls are the names of 58,300 men
and women who gave their lives or are listed as MIA.
Yet, the memorial itself is dedicated to honor the
courage, sacrifce and devotion to duty and country of
all who answered the call to serve during the longest war
in U.S. history.
Te Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund, Inc., a non-proft
organization, was authorized by Congress in 1980 to fund and build
the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., which was to be a
tangible symbol of recognition from the American people for those who served
in the war.
Congress enacted legislation providing three acres in the northwest corner
of the National Mall as a site for the Memorial and it was fnally dedicated
32 years ago on November 13, 1982.
Tere was a lot of controversy surrounding design of the Vietnam
Veterans Memorial. Some veterans and their political supporters felt
that Te Wall was a giant tombstone. It was too abstract a design for
others who wanted a more heroic, life-like depiction of a soldier. To
meet these concerns, it was decided that a traditional statue would be
added as an integral part of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Two
years after Te Walls completion in 1984 a statue of Te Tree
Servicemen was unveiled.

One of six elementary schools in town will close its doors to
students next year after a vote by school board members Tuesday.
Haigh Elementary School has been the topic of discussions for a
few years as board members and community members battled the
idea of closing the school as a result of declining enrollments in the
district.
Our committee considered every possible scenario,
Superintendent of Schools Michael Delahanty told board members
before making the recommendation.
The discussion on the buildings fate began a few years ago
when board members were working to renovate the districts
aging elementary schools. The projects were done in two phases,
providing extensive renovations to ve of the six buildings, with
Haigh left off.
While advocating for the phase two renovations, which included
work to Soule and Fisk schools, the board held forums with Haigh
parents saying enrollments were declining but no immediate
discussions were being had to close the facility.
The completion of renovations has created more room and a
redistricting is being required to even out class sizes regardless of
operations in Haigh.
Board member Bernie Campbell said elementary enrollments
have declined over the past few years.
It now really is a matter of equivalency, he said, adding
enrollment has declined by over 250 students, which is greater than
the population of Haigh.
With the school closed, students currently attending Haigh will
be moved to Lancaster and Barron, but a town-wide redistricting
will mean changes at every school.
Delahanty said some schools see classes with only 13 to 15
students and some classes are as high as 26.
Board members weighed in on the proposal, saying they wished
to leave the facility open but saw the nancial needs to close the
school.

Fundraising for the rst phase of the Salem Bike-
Ped Corridor moved into high gear recently with
the announcement that two local banks, Salem
Co-operative Bank and Pentucket Bank, have each
pledged to purchase $50,000 in New Hampshire
Tax Credits from an allotment of $125,000
awarded to the Friends of the Salem Bike-Ped
Corridor by NH Community Development
Finance Agency.
Speaking for FSBPC, Fund Raising Chairman
Larry Belair said The banking community in
Salem has always been in the forefront of nancial
support for local projects and charitable causes.
Most people dont realize how truly generous the
banks have been. These two pledges will result in
$80,000 in funds to be added to over $130,000
previously raised from private and business
community donations. We have just $25,000
in tax credit available. Based on conversations
with other local banks, we expect to be fully
subscribed by the end of October.
We are thrilled to have the opportunity to
support this unique community project for the
betterment of the Greater Salem Community,
said Scott Cote, President/CEO of Pentucket
Bank. Pentucket Bank is always proud to be
a part of community initiatives that promote
healthy, family activity. We are condent that
this leg of the Bike-Ped Corridor will serve as
a key component in Salems continued growth
as a gateway community in Southern New
Hampshire.
Our bank is proud to play a role in furthering
the development of Salems Bike-Ped Corridor
project, says Ann Lally, President of Salem Co-
operative bank. We look forward to the day
that our community enjoys it as a recreational
destination. This project will further the
lasting connections between the people and
communities along the corridor.
David Topham, Co-chairman of FSBPC, in
speaking of the pledges said This is a major
milestone in our long-planned trail program. With
the sale of these tax credits, we have been able
to guarantee the Town of Salem that the local
match of $229,410 has been met and that the
1.1 mile Phase 1 of the Salem Bike-Ped Corridor
will proceed. And, thanks to the initiative of the
Salem Board of Selectmen, a Letter of Intent has
been sent to NH-DOT for consideration in the
their Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP)
for funds for Phase 2. As with Phase I, no Salem
taxpayer dollars will be used for the 20 percent
match.
Phase 1 of the project will be funded by a
NH-DOT Transportation Enhancement grant of
$1,097,642, which includes money to complete
the nal portion of the Windham Rail Trail.
Salems portion of the grant is $917,642. That
grant will pay for the design and construction
costs to build the Bike-Ped Corridor from the
Windham town line at Range Road, southerly to
Old Rockingham Road, opposite Pentucket Bank.
The next section, Phase 2, is planned to run
from Old Rockingham Road to Willow Street,
where it will connect to the section built and
donated by Joe Faro of Tuscan Marketplace. That
section temporarily ends at the newly renovated
train depot building at Main Street which houses
the Salem Transportation Museum and the ofces
of the Greater Salem Chamber of Commerce.
When Phases 1 and 2 are completed, walkers and
cyclists will be able to travel on a paved trail from
Main Street, Salem to downtown Derry.

Be Careful Who You Vote For
Te underlying causes of the Great Depression began
with a huge disparity in wealth. Wealthy Americans
could save and invest, rather than spend, which resulted
in an economy that produced more goods than the
middle class and below could buy. Overproduction
resulted. Because the stock market had been doing
so well up until then, average Americans had been
borrowing money to buy stocks. When the market
crashed, people lacked the money to buy goods to
avoid the depression, and they still had the loans
they took out to buy stock that no longer had any
value. Sound familiar? Today the top 1 percent has
become incredibly rich as the middle class continues to
dwindle away. Going into the recent Great Recession,
millions of Americans borrowed money to purchase
homes that ended up being worth less than they owed,
just as Americans in the 1920s borrowed money to
buy stocks. Tere are other parallels in the causes
between the two economic calamities. So why didnt
we end up in another generational depression with 25
percent unemployment? Te diference is this time
the government took action which is why we still
have an automobile industry and a recovery instead of
another Great Depression. So, why do Republicans
call President Obamas stimulation programs a failure?
Could it be that when the president was elected, the
Senate minority leader, Mitch McConnell, announced
that the number one Republican priority was to limit
President Obama to one term? Today Republicans
say the recovery is too slow because of the presidents
economic policies. Tey are too slow; we should be
doing better. Unfortunately, when the Republicans
took control of the house in the last mid-term election,
they blocked every economic initiative the President
deemed necessary to restore a full recovery, and they
defunded any and everything they could that supported
the Presidents policies. We should be experiencing
better growth, but President Obamas partner in
government, the Republican leadership, was way more
interested in making him fail than doing anything for
the country. If the President did something right, the
Republican leadership and the conservative media gave
him no credit. If he did something of no consequence,
they turned it into a wrong, and if he made a mistake,
they turned it into a scandal. With partners like the
Republican leadership, who needs enemies? Tey
want you to believe that President Obama has been
a failure, that Democratic candidates are similarly
fawed, and that they, the Republicans, are the only
hope to good government. Give us a break. Te
Republican leadership gave us the war in Iraq which
killed thousands, added trillions to the defcit, and
created the conditions for terrorists like ISIS to exist
and threaten us today, they gave us the majority in
the Supreme Court that ruled we cant limit campaign
donations because it limits freedom of speech which
literally gives all political freedom of speech to the rich,
and they argued that we cant reverse the Bush tax cuts
that favored the wealthy and went right into the defcit
because these people are the job creators. Job creators?
What took them so long? Why did they wait until so
many Americans were out of work and lost their homes?
Was it so that with enough pain a pliant work force
would emerge that would be content with part-time
work without benefts, low pay, and no voice? Today
we are engaged in a great-tug-of-war on a plateau. Te
Republicans are winning, and they are about to pull us
over their side of the clif. We need two healthy parties
that prevent the excesses of the other and work for the
common good. For the good of the nation and the
good of the Republican Party, this is not the time to
vote Republican.
Scott Abercrombie, Salem
State Rep Candidate Beth
Ross Wins Trust, Understands
Community
When Salem voters go to the polls on November 4,
they will be asked to choose nine names from among
16 candidates to represent our community in the
NH House of Representatives. We have many fne,
civic-minded people on our ballot running for State
Representative, and we should thank everyone who
extends themselves in this way.
But, having been a member of the House for six years
many years ago, I still remember how important it is to
have a strong, aggressive person representing our views.
Beth Roth is a clear choice for one of our votes.
I have known and worked with Beth on community
projects and committees for two decades. I travelled to
Pennsylvania with her and other community leaders to
investigate the facts related to expanded gambling. Beth
digs into the information, facts and concerns, getting
behind the promises and speculation. She works hard
to connect with and earn the trust of those she works
with. And, she gets it she knows shell be there to
represent you. She understands when a community
takes a vote that she needs to refect that vote in
Concord.
Beth understands well the needs of Salem, having
served two recent terms as Selectman, including two
years as the Board chair. On this board and on many
other community projects, her ability to inspire people
to work toward a common purpose sets her apart.
I hope my friends and neighbors will join me in
making sure Beth Roth is elected as one of Salems State
Representatives.
Larry Belair, Salem
Vote Republican, Support
Gaming, Balance Budgets
Let me begin by thanking you for your primary
votes. It tells me that you approve of my positions on
NH issues, especially on the gaming issue. For that
reason I am going to continue to be transparent and let
you know exactly where I stand in the General Election
on November 4.
I would never presume to tell anyone how to vote,
but I think it is my duty to tell you how I will vote.
Te Primary issue in Salem, $10 million, $374,000, to
be exact, plus $2 million in charities per year, is the issue
for Salem. For that reason, and for no other, I will only
support those candidates who are in favor of gaming.
As for the Governors position, we know the $12.2
billion budget proposal from the department heads
of state government is ridiculous, even though the
governor has already asked them to make millions in
cuts, they insist on giving her a wish list which will
force her to make her own cuts to approximately $11
billion (in my opinion), which is almost in keeping with
Republican revenue estimates of about $10.7 billion (in
my opinion) which is about $300 million more than the
last session budget of $10.4 million.
If the Governor wins re-election, and current polls
indicate she might, as a Ranking Member of the
Finance Committee, I can assure you, we will have a
balanced budget by the time we get through dealing
with it from January 1, 2015, until June 30, 2015. But
we must have a Republican Majority to do this. So
support the NH House Republican candidates, with the
knowledge that most Independent voters will choose a
Republican candidate as well.
As for the House of Representatives vote, only you
the public will tell us what the outcome will be, but I
ask you now for your vote, and hope you agree with my
positions.
(See todays ad on page 3) See you at the polls.
Rep. Bob Elliott, Salem
Beth Roth Will Represent Salem
Salem Voters, I encourage you to vote Beth Roth
for State Representative. In previous elections, most
of us just selected all of the candidates with an (R)
next to their name. Well, last election, that didnt
work out very well as we ended up with several State
Representatives who didnt care about Salem and voted
against us or didnt vote at all. So this election, I am
going to vote for candidates and not letters.
One such candidate is Beth Roth. Beth has a long
history of service to the Town of Salem as a multi-term
Selectman who spent many long unpaid hours serving
our town. Beth has the experience from serving in
Salem to understand what our town needs to survive
and grow and can bring this experience to the State
Representative position. Ms. Roth is also a proven
reliable candidate, who put the time in when she was
a town ofcial and will regularly attend the sessions
and vote in Concord. Finally, Beth Roth has pledged
to support expanded gaming at Rockingham Park or
any other eforts to keep this Salem landmark open and
thriving.
So, if you want a State Representative who will
represent Salem and do it well then vote for Beth Roth.

Remember Election Day,
November 2, 2010?
Remember all those admirably-engaged Tea Party
zealots focking to the polls in droves, wiping out not
just the House and Senate jobs and candidacies of many
state Democrats, but a whole bunch of right-wing
Republicans who werent conservative enough for the
new majority?
Remember the living hell of governor John Lynchs
fnal term, as he helplessly let so many ugly, warped bills
go into law without his signature, unable to stem the
tide of legislation that allowed guns on state property
in Concord, cut more than half the budgets of UNH
and other state colleges, instituted the infamous Voter
ID law that makes it harder for students and others to
legally vote, along with the open bullying by House
Speaker Bill O Brien of the House Representatives who
didnt go along with his extreme agenda?
More than ever, the positions pushed by the
New Hampshire Republican Party are completely
disadvantageous to the values of most New Hampshire
citizens (just check out their anti-everything platform
adopted this year at their state convention). And realize
that unless our Democrat/Independent voters put a half
hour aside and exercise our important duty and vote,
we can look forward not just to all of the above and
more reoccurring here in New Hampshire, but a totally
changed landscape in Washington that will eviscerate
many of the gains America has made in the past six
years.
Instead, well be watching all the new tax breaks for
the Koch brothers and the rest of the multi-millionaires
pile up before our very eyes, as well as precipitous
cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, cuts
that will fnancially decimate a large percentage of the
bottom 98 percent. And well also be saying goodbye
to much of the federal funding that benefts colleges
and environmental programs, and will continue and
intensify the six-year conservative Congress attempts
to stonewall the passage of further comprehensive job
growth programs during the remainder of President
Barack Obamas term.
Remember the date: November 4, 2014. And lets
make sure that we all show up this time.
William F. Klessens, Salem

makes an informed decision as to her thoughts on the
issue.
Jane is the driving force behind the Salem NH
Farmers Market (voted No. 1 in NH) and is President
of the NH Farmers Market Association. She works to
support local farms and start-up entrepreneurs who sell
their products at the market.
Jane is Executive Vice President of the NH Alliance
for Retired Americans and advocates for seniors to keep
and expand the services they need to live a sustainable,

Jeanne Shaheens
Proven Leadership
Senator Shaheen has an exemplary and long history
of accomplishments on behalf of the citizens of New
Hampshire. Working in a bipartisan manner with
Senator Ayotte, she successfully worked to open two
health care facilities in the North Country in Colebrook
and Berlin, giving more than 2500 veterans convenient
access to health care. She is working tirelessly to
improve the Afordable Care Act by expanding health
care options, which will be in place by the end of
this year while Scott Brown wants to repeal the law
with no specifcs on how to replace it. Tere are now
over 100,000 Granite Staters with quality afordable
healthcare. Jeanne is a strong proponent of the Route
93 expansion, an infrastructure project that will
beneft the New Hampshire economy for decades. Te
American Reinvestment and Recovery Act opposed
by Republicans provided the funding to move this
project forward and Senator Shaheen is fghting to
insure continued funding through the Highway Trust
fund. Jeanne voted to close loopholes for companies
that shipped jobs overseas and provide incentives for
companies bringing jobs back into the United States.
She is an original cosponsor of equal pay for equal work

and championed discrimination against servicewomen legislation.
Recognizing the importance of small businesses to the New Hampshire
economy Senator Shaheen chose to serve on the U.S. Senate Small Business
Committee. As a member of this committee she helped craft the Small
Business Jobs Act, this legislation has helped hundreds of small businesses
in New Hampshire by providing them with tax breaks, access to credit, and
exporting opportunities. Senator Shaheen has authored legislation to extend
the Small Business Innovation Research program originally created by
Senator Warren Rudman for the purpose of keeping New Hampshires high
tech businesses competitive in a global economy.
One of the reasons that the current state of the U.S. economy is currently
expanding at a rate of 4 percent far beyond what most economists forecasted
is that Senator Shaheen along with other Democratic senators were willing
to spend on critical infrastructure. Te warnings of exploding the defcit
from Republican Tea Partiers were ignored.
One of the Tea Partys favorite issues is the budget defcit, please note that
the last time the budget was balanced was under a Democratic President
Bill Clinton, and the current budget defcit has dropped to the lowest level
in six years, less than half of the defcit created by the previous Republican
Administration. If the economy continues to improve at the current rate, we
may see a balanced budget sooner than most experts expected.
I strongly endorse Jeanne Shaheen re election to the U.S. Senate. She
always looks out for the best interests of New Hampshire residents.

Get Out Te Vote with a Bus Load of Illegals
Barack Hussein Obama will go down in history as a great propagandist
on the order of Joseph Goebbels. In every single scandal or issue which
has come up during his time, he knows nothing about it and then cannot
comment because they opened an investigation that never answers the key
questions being asked. Please, dont disturb my golf game or fund raising.
Tink of the serious scandals weve endured under him: Benghazi and
the killing of an Ambassador and his defenders; NSA spying on everybody
everywhere; IRS persecutions of innocent Americans trying to have a
political voice; Fast and Furious giving arms to drug lords and terrorists; the
VA and the decline of assisting our wounded Veterans. Unbelievably, the
propagandists always had Barry up the next day saying he found out from
the press reports. Now we know that, due to his absence at 57.5 percent
of his intelligence briefngs he probably was running on his own personal
agenda versus real intelligence information.
Obamas open border policy is a deliberate and deceitful strategy for
fooling American citizens into compassion for the poor children when
the reality is it will destroy our societal peace and cause anarchy. Te best
example of this as strategy is the having Homeland Security advertise in
January for contractors to assist 65,000 unaccompanied alien children
(UAC) from Central America long prior to their arrival! And then the
dissemination of these children (many of whom have gray hair and gang
tattoos) to 40 states secretly. Most governors werent told, and the only
evidence of where these children are is the sudden arrival of EV68 (polio),
Tuberculosis, whooping cough and other third world diseases in our country.
As a former (and extremely lucky) polio victim myself (1954), I feel this
should qualify Obama for immediate removal from of ce.
Add the other assaults on American society created by open borders:
defacto amnesty creating an underclass of illegal welfare people paid to
do nothing, who then export the money back to their country of origin
by taking it out of our country. I believe the term for this is not wealth
redistribution but outright stealing, authorized by government Union
bureaucrats in our name. Tere is the welcoming of criminals, rapists,
pedophiles, drug cartels and ISIS terrorists into the US, and their forced
release by the Feds whenever picked up by the Border Patrol.
It is clear Obama has purposely kept our borders open because as his plan
is to push us into an all-out civil war. Of course this is after they use these
indigents to stuf the vote in key states like they did in 2012. Busloads of
illegal get out the vote. Purging our military of of cers and soldiers who
are real Americans and replacing them with his loyalists. As a the father of a
military person, this has me most concerned. Look at the deserter whom is
welcomed back to our ranks and promoted for his cowardice and apparent
traitorous acts (according to those who served with him).
Ten there is the agenda of racism we are constantly being yelled at by
the Administration and its media stooges, who are egged on by professional
racists Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Ironic, isnt it? Tat Ferguson grabbed
headlines because of a white cop shooting a black criminal suspect, but no
news at all about the Hispanic cop shooting a truly innocent white boy in
Kansas City. Why not? It doesnt ft the propaganda.
Obama is decimating our laws and Constitution and our civil society in
order to reduce us to third world status. GDP is down 1 percent each of the
last two quarters. Using real statistics, unemployment is actually 23 percent.
Tey manipulate the stats for their reelection purposes. Whatever you
thought realize they dont want you to think about how he has declared
war on our countrys traditional values and freedoms.
Only a criminal would torch his own country, burn it to the ground.
Tese are not the actions of a president or commander in chief but a terrorist
and a traitor. We have a need to drive out of Government any who believe
in this poser called Obama and make our government responsive to the
citizens who fund it.

Derry Medical Center Named Business of the Year
submitted by Derry Medical Center
Derry Medical Center was honored as the 2014 Business of the Year at
the Greater Derry Londonderry Chamber of Commerce annual dinner on
Thursday, October 16.
The award was presented to Derry Medical Center by Eileen Keefe,
chief nursing ofcer at Parkland Medical Center, who lauded Derry
Medical for its excellent primary care and service to the community
since its founding 50-years ago.
Our practice is honored and humbled to receive this award, said Ted
Brooks, MD, senior partner at Derry Medical Center. Although we have
grown from having just a few doctors when the practice was established
in 1964, to over 30 providers today, we are pleased to be able to
continue to deliver the same personal care.
Brooks credited Practice Manager Tom Buchanan for Derry Medical
Centers growth due to his excellent business management, leadership
skills and his spot-on instincts about the direction of health care.
Because our practice has grown, Derry Medical Center is able
to deliver innovations in medicine that include wellness and tness
as prescriptions for better health. We pride ourselves in focusing on
prevention of chronic diseases, as opposed to just treating symptoms.
We care about our patients and the community, are grateful to the
Chamber for recognizing us with this honor, said Brooks.

Hassan at Rotary
Tuition Freeze Could Strengthen NH Workforce
by S. Aaron Shamshoyan
Governor Maggie Hassan (D-NH) visited the Greater Salem Rotary
Club last week, speaking about her past term and seeking reelection.
We have made progress in building a stronger, more innovative
New Hampshire, she said about passing a bipartisan budget.
Hassan, the third woman to serve in the position of governor for
New Hampshire, said the state needs to build a strong workforce
and retain young people to ll high tech positions, and hopes lower
tuition rates will do just that.
Tuition rates for state schools were
frozen this year, Hassan said, noting
it was the rst time in 25 years it has
happened.
Community college tuitions were
lowered about four percent, making
two-year degrees more affordable.
Hassan said plans are in the works to
allow students to start at a community
college and immediately continue at a
four-year school.
But a high tech education starts
before college, and Hassan said she
is working to make sure science,
technology, engineering and math
education will be incorporated into the
public school system for students grades
K-12.
Increased energy sources will be
important to attract businesses to the state and reduce energy costs
for residents. Hassan advocated for the need to expand natural gas
resources in the state, which will also help lower electricity costs.
Were still going to have to manage this winter, she said, but
noted she anticipated expanded natural gas service over the next
couple years.
While lower energy costs will help,
lawmakers are working on other ways to
attract businesses and jobs to the state.
The Business One Stop has been established
to make starting and expanding a business
easier in New Hampshire. Hassan said she
recently issued an executive order to put all
possible business forms online to simplify the
process further.
Results are already being seen. Over the
past year our private sector created thousands
of jobs, she said.
And a visit to the greater Salem area
wouldnt be complete without input on a
casino.
The governor said the state needs to move
forward with a plan to license one highly
regulated casino.
The overall market remains strong, she said, adding many
residents gamble and that revenue should remain in the state.
Hassan will face republican challenger Walt Havenstein in
November.
St. Joseph Regional Catholic School
Visits Charmingfare Farm
submitted by St. Joseph Regional
Catholic School
Kindergarten through fourth graders
visited Charmingfare Farm in Candia
on October 10. We saw many animals
like horses, goats, skunks, camels, and
coyotes. Students were able to see
rsthand the habitats these animals
live in and how they can blend into
their surroundings. Our students were
also able to go on a tractor ride to see
the whole farm and each student left
with their own pumpkin. It was a great
experience and everyone had a fantastic
time!

Te Womans Vietnam Memorial dedicated in 1993 to honor the 10,000
women that served in country during the confict.
Also, the In Memory Plaque authorized by Congress to be added to
the three-acre Memorial site on the National Mall that was dedicated in
2004. Tis plaque is intended to honor those who have died after service in
Vietnam but are not eligible for placement on Te Wall due to Department
of Defense policies.
Te inscription reads:
In memory of the men and women who served in the Vietnam War
and later died as a result of their service. We honor and remember their
sacrifce.
Decades after the walls dedication, at Te Wall, Americans continue to
refect on the conficts of the Vietnam Era and personal feelings.
Numbers certainly do not tell the whole story, nor or all of them. But
they certainly paint a picture of lives lost and families devastated. Here are
just a few:
More than half of the people listed on Te Wall are under 22.
-Dan Bullock from Goldsboro, North Carolina, was 14 years old. He
altered the date on his birth certifcate to show he was born December 21,
1949. Processed through the recruiting station, he enlisted in the U.S.
Marine Corps on September 18, 1968. Bullock arrived in Vietnam on
May 18, 1969, and was assigned as a rifeman and stationed at An Hoa
Combat Base where 20 days later, on June 7, 1969, he was killed instantly
by small arms fre during a North Vietnamese night attack while making
an ammunition run to resupply his beleaguered unit. Private First Class
Dan Bullock was 15 years old.
Te oldest person on Te Wall is Dwaine McGrif from Cullman,
Alabama: 63 years old, killed in action September 7, 1970.
Te names of eight women appear on Te Wall.
Te number of those killed on their frst day in Vietnam: 997.
Soldiers killed on what was to their last tour of duty day in Vietnam:
1,448.
In the last battle and the end of the Vietnam War, a U.S. merchant ship
was seized by Cambodian Khmer Rouge troops.
On May 15, 1975, the Marines attacked tiny Koh Tang island where
the U.S. merchant ship crew was mistakenly believed to be held. A ferce
14-hour battle ensued. Te last American soldier killed in action during
the Vietnam War was Kelton Rena
Turner, an 18-year old Marine,
killed in action May 15, 1975,
two weeks after the evacuation of
Saigon.
When the Marines pulled out
under heavy fre and in darkness,
three Marines were inadvertently
left behind: Lance Corporal
Joseph N. Hargrove from Mount
Olive, North Carolina; Private
Danny G. Marshall from Waverly,
West Virginia; and Private First
Class Gary Lee Hall of Covington,
Kentucky. It was later discovered that all three were captured and executed.
Today it is with honor and respect that we remember not only our Salem
Vietnam Veterans.
Robert Bernard Mann, age 22, killed in action July 11, 1966.
James Norman Finn, age 35, killed in action November 4, 1966.
Danny Eric Goodwin, age 20, killed in action August 24, 1967.
William Nicholas Loomis, age 18, killed in action September 13, 1967.
Tomas Wilfred Gaudet, age 21, killed in action April 21, 1969.
Russell William Wendler, age 20, killed in action February 17, 1969.
But today we remember and grieve with the families of all our young
men and women that gave the ultimate sacrifce so we may continue to be a
free people and a free nation.
We have gone almost full circle from World War II when we celebrated
with parades for our American heroes when they returned home. Our
returning Vietnam vets were thrown into civilian life just days from a
killing zone and having some of them spat upon when they came home. My
generation will not allow this to happen to our men and women returning
home today. We continually send them many boxes of items from home
that they can use to try make their life just a bit better. We meet them
when then return and greet them with a hug and a heartfelt and sincere
Welcome home buddy! For those that have returned home and that need
it, we are right here to give you our helping hand.
My fellow comrades, thank you for a job well done and welcome home.

Get Back On My Feet You'll Be Sorry). Julia Blogs About How She Overcame Adversity
With Choice, Attitude, And Purpose As Well As Her Stroke, Recovery,
Patient Perspective, And Life Lessons Using Humor To Cope.
Speaking from the patients perspective, she espouses the value of quality
patient care. It is important to illuminate the issues patients face beyond their
illness. Doctors, as they treat the medical condition, must remember that their
patients are individuals with unique personalities who deserve to be treated as
well with dignity and respect. She also speaks to patient advocacy and community
outreach groups where she shares her story of personal triumph against
overwhelming odds.
Some of the key points Julia makes to these audiences include:
Ways to improve the doctor/patient relationship
Importance of positive attitude and laughter in overcoming adversity
Medical diagnosis must take into account the patients intuition as well as the
science
Patient focus vs. disease focus delivers better recovery results
Objectives:
Participants will gain insights to health care from the patients perspective
Participants will learn how a positive atmosphere contributes to recovery
Participants will identify strategies for integrating humanity into the science of
medicine
Participants will better understand the medical professional/patient partnership

The superintendent has brought forward the recommendation
we all kind of expected, Campbell said.
The classroom sizes at Haigh school were considerably smaller
that other schools, Member Michael Carney said. We did
promise to try to mitigate the expenses where we could, he said
about the high school renovation.
Member Pamela Berry said she didnt support closing the school
for nancial reasons but said it was the right thing to do.
I am not in support of closing the Haigh School to mitigate the
cost of the high school, she said, adding there will be an increased
cost to reopen the facility when enrollment increases.
Chairwoman Patricia Corbett said closing the school was a tough
decision for the board.
We are making this decision with very heavy hearts, she said.
I do want people to truly believe that this board does care for
children.
School Board members voted unanimously to close the school in
the fall of 2015.

Toscana Fest at Tuscan Village
by Bob Gibbs
The Tuscan Kitchen and Tuscan Market sponsored the
Toscana Fest for 2014 at Tuscan Village in Salem.
The festival of local businesses was a benet for
the Lazarus House homeless shelter, food pantry and
transitional housing facility. Setup was along the walkway
of the piazza and in the style of an Italian street festival.
Visitors to the fest walked along the path to take in the
wares of the merchants.
On a recent extraordinarily beautiful fall New England
day, everyone who participated was able to enjoy the
sounds, sights, tastes, and activities of the day. Many
families came to the festival. All who were able to indulge
in the foods enjoyed delicious food prepared Tuscan Brands
kitchen. Tempting palates were breads, Paninis, apple
donuts, fresh salads, and homemade gelato.
The kids activities included face painting, games, and
pumpkin decorating.
All proceeds from the days events will be donated to the
Lazarus House Ministries Inc. and Hike for Hope.
Last year the Toscana Fest raised over $13,500 for the
Lazarus House, with a 100 percent match from Tuscan
Brands.
We have been afliated with the Lazarus House
Ministries Inc. for over 15 years. I serve on the board for
the Lazarus House and Tuscan Brands is committed and
proud to support this important nonprot. We helped
develop their innovative Culinary Training Program
into what it is today. We have brought in individuals as
employees into our business and they have gone back to
teach culinary classes and train others at the Lazarus House
from their experience. This event is a great opportunity for
the community to get involved and support all the great
programs that the Lazarus house offers and to ensure that it
will continue to do so, said Joe Faro, owner & chief food
taster of Tuscan Brands.

Historic Hose House Two has a Future
submitted by S. Aaron Shamshoyan
A local group of area residents are working hard to make sure Salems
history doesnt fade into the past.
Members of the Salem Historical Society presented to Selectmen Monday
that restoration and preservation of Hose House Two was nearly complete.
The two year project involved reviewing the buildings structural integrity
and making necessary repairs to the over 100-year-old re station.
This was going to be more of a preservation and a restoration, project
manager Phil Cammarata told the board.
First, the bell tower was rebuilt and a period bell installed, windows were
repaired and made operational, the building was painted and exterior doors
replaced.
The wooden garage doors were removed and new wooden doors were
hung in their place, Cammarata said.
Next, the building was cleared out allowing for electrical and mechanical
repairs to be made.
The objective for the interior was to keep as much of the original building
as possible, Cammarata said.
Final work to the exterior includes installing granite posts and seeding the
driveway.
Our goal is to have it look like the original driveway did back in the
1900s, he said.
Artifacts from the department over the years will be on display within the
facility. Additional items are being sought for the community and donations
can be made by contacting historical society member Beverly Glynn.
The project cost over $100,000 to complete and was done through
fundraising efforts.
The committee also presented the board with $50,000 to keep in a trust
fund for maintenance to the recently renovated depot train station. That
facility underwent an extensive restoration prior to the hose house and also
was privately funded.
Historical society president Howie Glynn thanked Rockingham Park
President Ed Callahan for the parks support with allowing the society to
participate in charitable gaming.
If we didnt have Texas Hold em, wed be here another two years, he
said.
Breaking Ground for the HOPE Center
SARL Announces Creation of its
Low Cost Spay/Neuter Program
Rheaume and Melhem Elected to HOSA State Ofces
Federal Designation will Help Fight Drug
Threat in Rockingham County
submitted by the Ofce of the Sheriff, Rockingham County
The Rockingham County Sheriffs ofce, Rockingham
County Chiefs of Police and the New England High
Intensity Drug Trafcking Area recognized the growing
drug problem that plagues New Hampshire and the 37
communities in Rockingham County. In a collaborative
effort, the Rockingham County Chiefs of Police and the
Sheriffs Ofce has worked with the New Hampshire State
Police, DEA, U.S. Marshalls ofce and Homeland Security
and applied to the White House Ofce of National Control
Drug Police, which granted an HIDTA designation.
According to the Ofce of National Drug control Policy,
The HIDTA program, created by Congress with the Anti-
Drug Abuse Act of 1988 provides assistance to federal
state, local and tribal law enforcement agencies operating
in areas determined to be critical drug trafcking regions of
the United States.
The HIDTA designation will enhance coordination and
cooperation in or ght against this dangerous threat to our
communities in and around Rockingham County posed by
the drug trafckers and dealers. This will be accomplished
by the
facilitation of
information
sharing
among
federal, state,
and local law
enforcement
agencies. This
collaborative
effort will
be used to
design and
implement
effective
strategies and
operations.
High Sheriff
Michael
Downing
and Kingston
Chief Donald Briggs, through the Rockingham County
Drug Task Force, provided the necessary support for Al
Brackett, the chief deputy at the Rockingham County
Sheriffs Ofce, to apply for the HIDTA designation in
2012. The HIDTA designation allows multiple agencies
to effectively collaborate and pool our resources. This
maximizes all of the capabilities in efforts to stop drug
trafcking in and around Rockingham County.
High Sheriff Michael Downing recognizes the following
individuals and their efforts in obtaining the HIDTA
designation for Rockingham County. In 2014, Brackett
became the chief of police in Atkinson and continued his
work on behalf of the Sherriffs Ofce and Rockingham
County Chiefs of Police to obtain the HIDTA designation.
Kingston Chief Donald Briggs, Colonel Robert Quinn of the
New Hampshire State Police, and Deputy Director David
Kelley of New England HIDTA were important supporting
contributors to Rockingham County during the process of
obtaining the HIDTA designation. Senators Kelly Ayotte
and Jeanne Shaheen and their ofces were instrumental in
representing the needs of Rockingham County.
submitted by Michelle Rheaume, Salem HOSA
This past March, Salem High School seniors Michelle Rheaume and Laura Melhem were
elected as New Hampshire Health Occupations Students of America state ofcers. HOSA is
a student led organization that focuses on preparing students for jobs in various health care
professions through real life experience and community service. Rheaume is the NH Vice-
President, and Melhem is the NH Parliamentarian. Their responsibilities are to work together
with ve other ofcers planning and running statewide HOSA events. The next large event
taking place is Fall Rally, which is the kick off to this upcoming HOSA season.
On October 27, health science and technology students from around the
state will travel to Concord for this event. A motivational, keynote speaker
will address over 500 NH HOSA members. The members will then break
out into small group sessions for leadership and team building exercises.
The breakout sessions will be led by the seven elected ofcers, including
Michelle and Laura. The ofcers have spent countless hours preparing
for this day by making arrangements for speakers, the facility and lunch
accommodations. The goal is to build a stronger HOSA team and get people
excited for the State Leadership Conference in March as well as the National
Leadership Conference in June.
This year, Nationals will be held in Anaheim, CA and open to anyone who
places rst, second or third in the competitive event held during the State
Leadership Conference in March.
HOSA provides great real world experience in a safe learning environment
alongside other dedicated students and staff. Michelle and Laura wouldnt
trade HOSA for anything. It is by far the best experience [they]ve had in
high school.

submitted by Salem Animal Rescue League
Salem Animal Rescue League is pleased to
announce the creation of a new low cost spay
and neuter program. The program will be run
by the veterinary staff at SARL and will be
available to citizens who are faced with nancial
challenges, to ensure their cats are spayed or
neutered.
We are excited to expand the services we
are able to provide to the public. The benets of
spay and neutering your animal are numerous.
In addition to helping reduce overpopulation, it
increases an animals chance of a healthier and
longer life. We appreciate that economic times
remain difcult for many people and we want to
ensure that they have affordable opportunities to
address this serious issue, said D.J. Bettencourt,
Director of Development and Community
Relations for SARL.
The program is means tested and interested
individuals will need to provide proof of need.
SARL will use the national poverty guidelines
in determining eligibility for the program. All
information collected will remain strictly
condential. For the pet to be eligible, it must
be over 12 weeks old and weigh over two
pounds.
At this time the program is only available
to cats but we hope to expand the program to
include dogs within six months. In addition
to being spayed or neutered, each pet in the
program will receive a rabies and distemper
vaccine. Optional services available for
additional fees include nail trimming, ea and
ear mite treatment, de-worming and feline
leukemia/FIV testing, said Elisabeth Shuter,
SARLs Veterinary Technician.
The program begins Tuesday, October 14 and
interested individuals should contact SARLs
Veterinary Department at 893-
3210, ext. 260.

Thumbs up to Sally Sweet and the Fireghters
union for getting Democrat (or at least RINO) Fred
Doucette on the Republican Ballot in November.
He will do only what the Unions tell him to do. I
guess that means there will be 9 Democrats on the
ballot after all.
Thumbs down to all the people who blame
Representatives Patrick Bick and Marilinda and
Bianca Garcia for not having the casino vote go
to the House oor in Concord. The reason the
Casino Bill failed was because Representative
Gary Azarian (the poster boy for the Casino)
resigned his position and local authorities decided
not to ll the position. In spite of his resignation
Republicans give him the third highest vote count
in the primary. I guess with the dumbing down
of America comes the dumbing down of the
Republican Party in Salem.
Thumbs down to Marilinda Garcia. That
sign at the corner of Geremonty and Veterans
Memorial is beyond the pale. The United States
is based on separation of Church and State. No
political sign should have a religious message.
Marilinda steps over the edge. Not someone we
should have representing us.
Appalling! We have separation
of Church and State. That is
what makes America.
Thumbs up to Vatican II
exposing modernists working to
reform the Catholic Church into
the NWOs liberal Protestant,
Masonic, anything goes, one
false religion. Everyone who
believes in (a) god can belong.
Catholics arent even to attempt
converting Jews, nor anyone
apparently, to the faith. As long
as theyre practicing their beliefs,
Jews are ne. However, Jesus specically says to
at least try to: Matthew 10:5-6. So believing Jesus
is God and has risen from the dead, for salvation,
is obsolete now? In these end times we must,
with the Word of God, stand up to these liars,
these antichrists.
Thumbs up to Affordable Care Act. Thanks
to Obamacare tens of millions of Americans
no longer have weeks of suffering with the
emergency room as their health only health care
plan. More Americans have preventive services,
better health and less suffering. Health care costs
are rising slower than before Affordable Care Act,
and projections are for even slower raises. The US
will soon advance from 38th in the world health
systems. New urgent care facilities are opening
all over the US. Obamacare is good for tens of
millions. Thumbs down to Republican TV lies!
Thumbs up/Thumbs down. So Jeanne Shaheen
is once again playing the war on women card
but to no avail. A pathetic and desperate move.
Jeanne Shaheen and Obama should be addressing
the real war on our children she, Obama and
the Democrats started by letting thousands of
illegal aliens come into our country with the
EV-D68 virus which is an off shoot of polio. A
virus that was once eradicated in America. Now
ve children have died and many other children
have been infected. How many more children
will die because of her reckless and irresponsible
behavior? Obviously, she doesnt care.
Thumbs down to The Former Military Guy
that felt the need to insult the big bellied Boy
Scout Masters. These are adults who gave up
their weekend to sit outside a store and raise
money for scouts. My boy is in Scouting here in
Salem. They learn lots of great values and skills
in scouting including how to treat others with
respect. The adult leaders give enormous amounts
of time to keep the program running for our kids.
Aside from weekly meetings, badge counseling
and monthly camp outs they collect food for the
food pantry, make up packages for our adopted
soldiers and show up for every patriotic event
in town. I am sure any time you would like to
volunteer to come down and show them how it
is done. Any of the troops in Salem would be
ecstatic to have the help.
Thumbs up/Thumbs down. Now we have
another Ebola case in Dallas, Texas, even though
this person was wearing all the protective
gear required for protection. Obama and the
Democrats emphatically stated Ebola is not an
airborne virus. I ask you why does Obama and
the Democrats continue to lie on every issue?
They lied about Obamacare, they lied about
Benghazi, they lied about the IRS, they lied about
the NSA, they lied about Fast and Furious, they
lied about ISIS, they lied about the raising our
taxes, they lied about the sequester, the lie about
womens issues and it goes on and on. Why do
we as Americans tolerate such deception?
Thumbs up to the leaders of any Cub/Boy
Scout den or troop give valuable time and energy
to shaping the boys of this community no matter
their size or the way they wear their uniforms. I
only wish more men/women were involved with
their sons lives like the leadership of the Salem
leaders.
Thumbs down to the former military guy
who was disgusted at the sight of three leaders of
a troop outside a local store. A leader shirt cost
starts at $50 and that is without the patches. I
have been a leader in Salem for 15 years and took
offense to your ignorance of the dedication of a
scout leader. I have spent many a Veterans Day/
Memorial Day and countless hours replacing
veteran ags alongside the young boys and men
I have nurtured. If you cared so much about the
sight of them next time talk to them instead of
bashing them in a nameless faceless forum.
Thumbs down to Republicans. If you are
worried about Ebola, and want to stock water
and food, thank the republicans. Budget cuts,
the rage for gutting government degraded the
Center for Disease Control and the national
Institute for Health. If it were not for republicans
ruining the US House of Representatives since
2010 the US would have a vaccine for Ebola, and
we would not see cost cutting in Dallas leading
to an American nurse getting Ebola. The US is
in no condition to deal with Ebola and it is the
Republican Party at all level to blame.
Thumbs down to the many handicapped
people who drive around with their decals from
their rear view mirror. It states clearly on the
handicapped placard that it can only be hung
from the rear view mirror when the car is not
moving. It is a violation to have it hanging there
when a vehicle is moving. Why must you be an
accident waiting to happen?
Thumbs up/Thumbs down. Up to the
conservative life values - love and providing
for our family. Help people in need. Love and
protect our nation. Respect for our creator. Work
hard and strive to reach your life dreams. Down
to the liberals for the parasitic life they preach
turning a nation of greatness to a nation of I
rather be on welfare. A nation where children
are taught that God does not
exist. No respect for our ag.
Legalizing marriage to sorted
people and the great value of
drugs.
Thumbs down to the police
ofcer last Friday that was
supposed to be directing trafc
instead of lighting up a cigarette
and nobody knows what to do.
I had my 5 year old daughter in
the car and she said mommy I
didnt think policeman smoke
cigarettes. They are supposed
to be representing a good image
for children. Instead being out there lighting up a
cigarette is not a good image for trafc. They can
do it on their own time, but they are not getting
paid to sit out there while trafc backed up both
ways.
Thumbs up to the eight NH Mayors who have
endorsed Senator Jeanne Shaheen: Portsmouth
Mayor Robert Lister, Rochester Mayor T.J. Jean,
Keene Mayor Kendall Lane, Claremont Mayor Jim
Nielsen, Berlin Mayor Paul Grenier, Dover Mayor
Karen Weston, Somersworth Mayor Dana Hilliard
and former Manchester Mayor Sylvio Dupuis.
They believe in Senator Shaheen will do the right
thing for the people of NH. They know we dont
need a carpetbagger like Scott Brown representing
us in Washington.
Thumbs down to the Republican State
Rep Steve Vaillancourt who called our
Congresswoman Ann Kuster ugly as sin. This is
incredible in 2014. Not stopping there he called
Marilinda truly attractive. So politics is about
looks? No! Its about what you do. Kuster has
been a staunch supporter of seniors, growing NH
business, job creation, fair pay, etc. In a Letter
to the Editor by a Nashua State Rep we see the
real Garcia. Only coming to meetings when
called, texting, chatting with her sister, otherwise
unengaged and then pulling out her bought and
paid for instructions from the Koch Brothers to
know how to vote. Unbelievable. Garcia is truly
the epitome of the empty headed woman.
Thumbs up to the spirit and determination of
Haigh School. No matter what happens we all
know Once a Haigh Hornet, Always a Haigh
Hornet! I am so proud that my family has been
part of such an amazing school! Keep your head
held high and we are all in this together.
Thumbs up to all the families that will be
impacted by the districts realignment plan. Let us
all keep this a positive experience for the children
and welcome the new students into your school
with open arms. No one wants to change schools,
especially those students from Haigh School but
lets all do this with class and respect.
Thumbs down to the
proposal from the Salem School
District. Yet again North
Salem School remains almost
untouched in the realignment
plan. Yes they are getting a few
new students but for a school
that is said to be full, some of
those students should be moved
like many others will need to
be. It is time that North Salem
feels some discomfort like the
rest of us!
Thumbs down to the former
military guy ranting over
Salem scouts. We appreciate
your service, what does it
matter how big any adult scout
volunteers bellies may be? Are
you serious? I am disgusted
by your rude comment. All
adults that are involved and
running these packs are extremely proud of the
uniform as well as their scouts. Clearly they are
out there dedicating their time to support their
scouts, sometimes hours on end, god forbid
they get hungry and have a bite to eat, get a grip
buddy. There are two Cub Scout packs in town
and three Boy Scout packs, shame on you sir
for generalizing and putting down all of Salems
scouts. If you had such a problem with their
appearance and actions then you should have
manned up and said something to their faces
rather than hiding behind a thumbs down like a
giant coward.
Thumbs up. A million thumbs up for
Representative Annie Kuster for taking the
high road against Republican state Rep. Steve
Vaillancourts ignorant, sexist insults last week,
as he called her ugly as sin and compared her
appearance to a Montreal drag queen (when was
the last time he looked in a mirror?). Hopefully
intelligent voters will pay more
attention to GOP challenger
Marilinda Garcias terrible
attendance record throughout
her four terms as our local
representative, missing over
half of the votes taken during her
terms. But she denitely made
sure to show up and vote against
the casino plan earlier this year.
Thumbs down to anyone
who believes the realignment
plan is because of Haigh School.
Our Superintendent clearly said
the entire town needs to balance
enrollments at all schools.
Thumbs up to the golden opportunity Salem
has Nov. 4 to send a highly skilled and savvy
advocate for Salem to represent us in the NH
State House. Beth Roth has the experience, the
professional background, the intelligence and
people skills it takes to represent us well and
actually get things accomplished. Beth Roth
would be a State Representative Salem can count
on to make us all proud!
Thumbs down to Walt: Mr. Havenstein,
being a successful feather merchant ripping
off the Pentagon does not make you qualied
to be governor. A business strategy of hiring
your customers to sell to your future employees
who replaced them would not work in New
Hampshire. There is no business acumen to
sell worthless services then hire the people who
bought those worthless services. The money you
wheedled out of the pentagon should have bought
better body armor for American soldiers engaged
in battle.
Thumbs down to Wednesday afternoon. I
understand its a great thing for the Vietnam
Traveling Memorial to come to Salem for citizens
to see. I have visited the Wall in DC and
appreciate the sacrices so many made. That
being said was it really necessary to disrupt school
dismissals, have four motorcycle ofcers, a bunch
of police cars and a group of loud motorcycles
escort a horse trailer down Main Street from the
track? I could see if the wall were somewhat
assembled on a at bed or something but it
wasnt. Trafc was still messed up an hour later in
the depot and it just seemed so unnecessary. So
now my questions are who paid for all the cops
and whos paying for the lights at the high school
being kept on all day and night. Yes, its 1 p.m.
Thursday and the eld lights are on.
Thumbs down to Marilinda Garcia and Scott
Brown. They want to take away womens right
to choose, they dont care about equal pay for
equal work, and they want to gut Social Security
and Medicare. We dont need carpetbaggers and
radical Tea Party Libertarians representing us. Get
out and vote and vote defensively!
Thumbs down to the Republican candidate
for Governor Walt Havenstein. While CEO of a
defense contractor he made $20 million laying off
people. He drove the company bankrupt, took his
golden parachute, and decided to run for governor
of NH! He is a staunch left Tea Party advocate
wanting to take away womens right to choice in
her healthcare decisions, doesnt support equal
pay for equal work, would cut education, public
safety and health care for seniors. We just simply
dont need this person in NH.
Thumbs down to the Salem School Board.
Before considering the School Realignment
proposal, the board needs to address the fact
that Lancaster has numerous students currently
attending who do not live in the Lancaster
neighborhood. Some students have moved a
long time ago and are still attending. Some are
attending because their parents and relatives work
at Lancaster. And some students dont even live in
Salem. Are they planning on re-structuring some
streets to new schools while the students that
dont belong still attend?
Thumbs down to the Salem School Board.
With the School Realignment proposal presented
on the SSD website, Lancaster enrollment will
be at 98% while the other elementary schools
will have enrollment in the 83-88% range. That
doesnt follow Mr. Delehantys statement that the
neighborhoods had to be recongured to create
equitable class sizes across the school district.
Thumbs down to Republicans like Garcia,
Brown and Walt who will vote to cut, privatize,
gut Social Security for Seniors and disabled
workers. This is just so wrong. Dont know about
you but I need my Social Security check and my
Medicare.
Thumbs down to Scott Brown for berating
Senator Shaheen on illegal immigrants. Look
back at how Scott Brown voted when he was a
Mass. State Senator. Massachusetts had looked
at legislation granting undocumented immigrants
in-state tuition. And Scott Brown voted for it
as a state senator in 2004. He and 38 other
state senators voted for a budget amendment
that stated certain undocumented immigrants
would be eligible for in-state tuition rates and
fees at the University of Massachusetts, or any
commonwealth state or community college. No
lawmaker voted against it.
Thumbs down to whoever thought it was a
good idea to put up a tall fence along Stonepost
Road. I am a walker and always admired the view
of Millville Lake as I went by. You have blocked
the view - thanks a lot.
Thumbs up/Thumbs down. Sorry Dick
OShaughnessey, but you have no political
experience to jump into senate. Run for state
rep or something. Youre the nicest of men, but no
experience for senate.

Court
- continued from front page
learned from the textbook the roles of the New Hampshire
Supreme Court, the On the Road visit helped them get a
more realistic and picture of how this branch of the law actually
operates. Not only were the students in attendance able to
watch the court trials, but they also got to ask questions towards
the end of each case. The question portion was especially
helpful in this realization for many who went to the microphone
to ask the judges and attorneys questions.
As the day progressed, so did the questions asked by the
students. Many students were eager to hear about steps the
judges took in their education to reach their satisfying placement
as justices. Many students were surprised to hear about the
career paths taken by these judges before they decided to pursue
a career in law. When asked what their intended majors were
before deciding to pursue a career in law, Honorable Gary
Hicks responded by stating that he originally started college as
an engineer major, but switched majors after his wife persuaded
him to pursue law. Chief Justice Stewart Dalianis also switched
her major from journalism to law at Suffolk University of Law in
Boston. She shared that, Her father needed a lawyer while she
was at school, and when she saw how much he was able to help
him, she knew that law was for her.
Law was a difcult eld for women; girls were not expected to
become lawyers, so when she decided to switch her major it was
this challenge that kept her motivated. Her challenge paid off as
she eventually went on to become the rst female Chief Justice
in the NH Supreme Court in the year 2000. Chief Justice Stewart
Dalianis expressed during her interview how difcult it was
for women to become lawyers when she went to Northeastern
University and later Suffolk University of Law. However, she
did not shy away from this opportunity, and it is clear that her
motivation to do the unthinkable served her well.
The On the Road program not only teaches students the
educational system of the supreme court, but also the hard work
and dedication it takes to become a Chief Justice. Although
many students learn about the different branches of government,
and how long it takes for a law to appeal to the Supreme Court,
many dont understand the process and time it takes for the
judges to deliver a court case. The process of becoming a Judge,
or an attorney is a long one, riddled with obstacles that have to
be met on a day to day basis. As students, if there is anything
to learn about these interviews it is to work hard in college, and
never take no for answer. Associate Justice Carol Ann Conboy
closed with these words: Anyone can become accomplished in
the eld of law. Study as much as you can and in as many areas
as possible, because its a mistake to be just a poly-sci major and
to exclude other classes from your curriculum. It is best that you
dont learn only individualized topics, instead try for a broader
range of course load, and this broader form of studying will
make you a more knowledgeable person, and you will soon nd
success.

Boys Soccer Squad Scores Comeback Win Over Dover
by Jacob Gagnon
From the sidelines, Coach Anthony Karibian called out a simple
instruction for his Blue Devils after they had fallen behind against
Dover High School, 2-0, on Friday, October 17: Composure.
Despite the decit, the Salem High School boys Soccer team was
able to follow Karibians orders to settle down. Once they had, the
Blue Devils notched three unanswered goals to win the game and
secure a slot in the postseason tournament.
I thought the strength to push forward after being down 2-0 was
positive but going down 2-0 was frustrating, said Karibian. We
seem to do that. In the last three out of four games weve gone
down and had to come back to win. Thats not going to y in a
playoff game and thats the mentality were trying to set up.
Salem trailed 1-0 at the half, and returned to the eld a more
aggressive squad. The Blue Devils early pressure introduced
opportunities that they could not capitalize on. Dover struck for a
second goal early in the second half. Salem gathered the composure
that Karibian had been drilling into them all season and continued to
push the pace of the game.
The Blue Devils cut the lead in half with a score from a corner
kick by Todd Righini midway through the second half of play. The
goal appeared to revitalize Salem. The Blue Devils continued to
attack.
They had a couple of missed chances early on and then I
watched them get after it. We were going until we died or scored,
said Karibian. That was the mentality we had (in the second half).
Righini scored again ten minutes later on, perhaps, the most
visually beautiful play of the day from Salem. Andrew Fichera fed an
ideal pass to Righini who bicycle-kicked the ball into the Dover net
to tie the game at two goals apiece.
In the nal moments of the contest, Salems Christian Moreno
sealed the comeback with a game-winning goal. The Blue Devils
controlled the ball for the nal minute, frustrating Dover, to secure
the 3-2 victory.
While Righini and Moreno were crucial to the win, Karibian
believes that Salem does not comeback without the terric play of
Fichera. Andrew Fichera played such a good game, said Karibian.
Fichera played a major role in all three goals. In the rst score, he
earned the advantage of the corner kick that Righini was able to
put away. His spot-on pass allowed Righini to notch his second,
game-tying score. Then, as the clock was prepared to expire, Fichera
created the space and worked hard to get the ball out to Moreno.
He creates all of that, said Karibian.
With the win, Salem improves to 6-8 on the season with only
two games remaining. The record will most certainly get the Blue
Devils in the NHIAA Division I Championship Tournament. Salem
will most likely nish in the middle of the division. This may mean
that they will not get the opportunity to host their postseason bouts.
Still, Karibian is condent; especially after the effort he saw his team
display against Dover.
I feel pretty good about it, said Karibian. When the dust settles,
well gure out where we go. Were not guring it out now. We
are trying to play every game like a playoff game. One thing is for
certain, composure will be key for the Blue Devils future success.
Andrew Fichera maneuvers the ball towards the Dover net. Salems Todd Righini fakes out a Dover defender during Fridays comeback victory.

Field Hockey Team Wraps Up Season
Football Team Builds on Stellar Season with Recent Victories
Salem quarterback John Cerretani passes over a Bishop
Guertin defender during the Blue Devils dominant win
over the Cardinals.
by Jacob Gagnon
The Salem High School Football team
continued their terric season with dominant,
back-to-back victories, to improve their record
to 6-1 on the season and claim third place in
the New Hampshire State rankings. Topping the
rankings is Pinkerton Academy, who handed the
Blue Devils their sole loss of the season in a 14-7
heartbreaker in September.
On their quest to meet the Astros again, this
time in the postseason, the Blue Devils hosted
Bishop Guertin High School on Friday night,
October 10.
The Cardinals scored rst. After a successful
two-point attempt, Bishop Guertin led Salem 8-0.
Then Salem went to work.
Junior running back Johnny Bartose broke off
for a forty-plus yard run into Cardinal territory
on Salems rst possession. On fourth down, the
Blue Devils were stopped by the Bishop Guertin
defense on the half yard line to force a turnover
on downs. Soon after, Salems defense forced a
fumble, which junior Timothy Dodier recovered,
to give the Blue Devil offense another crack at
scoring. Classmate Charles Sibanda scored on the
next play to cut the Cardinals lead to 8-7.
Bishop Guertin maintained their lead
throughout most of the rst half. It was not until
the nal 1:17 that Bartose burst through the
Cardinals defense for a touchdown that gave
Salem a 14-8 lead. It was an advantage they
would not give up again. Senior Kenny Calabrese
intercepted a pass to dash the Cardinals chances
of scoring before the end of the half.
The kids came out and they played hard,
executed well, although I thought that, in the
second half, we executed better. That was nice
to see, said Coach Robert Pike. Part of that is
BG. They came and played hard. They were red
up and they did a good job. I attribute it (our
success) to our guys sticking to it, believing in
themselves, and continuing to work. That was a
good job by them.
The second half would not be nearly as close.
Salem received the ball and immediately began
to drive down the eld. Senior quarterback John
Cerretani capped off the drive with a touchdown
pass to classmate Austin Homsey.
John (Cerretani) ran the offense well. Charles
Sibanda ran great in the second half. Bartose was
immense in the second half, said Pike. Hes a
big running back and thats good to see.
Following a Salem fumble and a Bishop Guertin
recovery, the Cardinals began the fourth quarter
with the ball. Eight seconds into the fourth
quarter, Homsey made his presence felt on the
defensive side with an interception. Junior Nick
Shumski scored nearly six minutes later to push
the lead to 27-8 in favor of the home team.
They (the defense) have been playing great
all year, said Pike. We have eleven guys who
are doing their job, making plays when we need
to. We made a few turnovers tonight, some big
picks, said Pike. Those kids just make big
plays.
The Salem defense forced another turnover
moments later as a tipped ball was intercepted
by senior linebacker Mike Poulin. Sibanda,
again, made the Cardinals pay with a seven
yard touchdown run. The Cardinals scored one
more time, but the Blue Devils had made their
statement and won the game, 34-16.
What is nice about this group of guys is that
they come to work at practice every single day
and try to get better. We have to continue to do
that, said Pike. We have to just keep doing that
and well be alright.
On the following Friday, October 17, Salem
travelled to Merrimack High School. Sibanda led
the Salem offense with three touchdowns in a
dominant, 28-0, victory.
The Blue Devils will travel to face Nashua
North High School on Friday night, October 24.
Salem will then wrap up their regular season by
hosting Londonderry High School at Grant Field
on Friday, October 31. If this season has been any
indication, it should be a happy Halloween for the
Blue Devils.

The Salem High School Field Hockey team concluded their
2014 regular season by splitting their nal two games to nish
with a 6-7-1 record. The Blue Devils have most likely earned
their way into the NHIAA Division I Championship Tournament.
On Wednesday, October 15, the Blue Devils played Central
High School at Gill Stadium in Manchester. Both teams seniors
were honored prior to the game. Salem got off to a slow start in
the rst half.
We didnt do as well as we should have. We started off a
little sluggish in the rst half and got ourselves in a hole. We
picked up the pace in the second half; we did much better
moving the ball, said Coach John Gatsas. We had a number of
shots, we just missed the goal.
Salem earned a number of corner opportunities but could not
score. Central High scored with 25:08 remaining in the rst half
to take a 1-0 advantage. It would be the only score of the game.
I was happy with how we played the second half. We kept
on attacking but we got ourselves in a hole early on. We have
outshot a lot of teams, we just cant nish them off, said Gatsas.
Im happy that were getting the opportunity to shoot the ball
but we have to put it in the net. The Blue Devils outshot the
Little Green, 7-3, in the contest.
Brianna Wood and Kelsey Collins had a great game today for
us, said Gatsas. Natalie Azzarito had a nice game today, too.
Along with the improvements of the younger athletes, Gatsas has
been continually impressed with the performances of Chantalle
Dumont.
Salem did not dwell on the narrow defeat for long. On Friday,
October 17, the Blue Devils travelled to Dover High School
for their nal match of the regular season. Salems offense
awakened, scoring three goals to defeat the Green Wave, 3-2, to
cap off the year.
Im happy with the progress we have made since game one.
It may not show in our record, but weve been playing more
aggressive and creating more scoring opportunities, said Gatsas.
As the 2014 season is brought to a close, Gatsas must again
reect upon the careers of his senior athletes. The graduating
seniors have been a part of some terric postseason runs for
Salem, including appearances in one quarternal and two
seminal games. It has been a pleasure coaching them (the
seniors). They are going to be missed, said Gatsas. I think
theyve shown good leadership to the younger kids here. It is
the leadership that has helped build the future of the Salem High
program.
