Salem Community Patriot Open House Hidden Jewels

by Gloria Lavoie The weather could have been better, but a little mist in the air did not stop 500 locals from coming to Salem Fire Departments Open House on October 12. This event was held in conjunction with Fire Prevention Week Firefighter demonstrations, evacuation simulations, live music, car seat advice and information from trained firefighters, a bounce house, and plenty of food were just some of the offerings. Children enjoyed face painting and having an opportunity to dress up as their firefighter heroes, as an array of miniature firefighter gear was available to try on. If theres ever a fire, you dont hide, you get outside, explained a firefighter to a young boy as his Dad held him up high to view a car fire demonstration.

Ingram Honored for Contributions to Club

by S. Aaron Shamshoyan A community effort now honors a community centered man and his wife who among many other contributions have donated over a quarter million dollars to the Greater Salem Boys & Girls Club. Russell Ingram has supported projects throughout town. He and his late wife Roberta (Bobbi) helped make a new senior center for Salem a reality, and when the Boys & girls Club sought cost saving measures, Ingram was there. In 2013 alone, Ingram donated $140,000 to the club, helping pay down the mortgage and also funding a heating conversion from oil to natural gas. Its wonderful to give, said Ingram. Now, a bronze plaque mounted to a large rock sitting in front of the club is surrounded by flowers between the clubs flag poles. Hes one of the many rocks that this club is built upon, said Board Chairman Patrick Donovan. Director of Development Denise Dolloff said the garden was a community effort, citing businesses around the greater Salem area that contributed supplies for the project. Donovan said the dedication was well deserved. Nobody individually compares to Russ Ingram, he said. Senator Chuck Morse read a

The Hidden Jewels: Back row, left-right, Gretchen Meisner, Sue Desjardins, Sandra Dennehy, and Madeline Berni. Front row: Crystal Napoli, Elsie Talanian, Nicole Dill. by Gloria Lavoie The Greater Salem Chamber of Commerce and Salem Co-operative Bank recently hosted their sixth annual Hidden Jewel Awards luncheon and ceremony at the Merrimack Valley Golf Club in Methuen, MA. The picturesque setting in its autumn splendor was the ideal backdrop for the recognition of distinguished women in the community. The Hidden Jewel Awards is a program developed to honor the areas most priceless women; truly precious gems to the towns that they live in. Women have a long history of balancing family, career, community and service. These awards are intended to recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of women who have excelled in their chosen field, defined their role through their initiative and dedication, and established a record of leadership and involvement. The ballroom was filled with past and present award winners, all convening on this sunny fall day to honor the women who may otherwise go overlooked. The ladies mingled and acquainted with fellow area businesswomen. They purchased raffle tickets for many fabulous baskets full of prizes ranging from restaurant gift certificates, to scratch tickets and free yoga classes. A delicious lunch was served and attendees enjoyed the guest speaker Tracy Carusos poignant and entertaining speech. Caruso, hails from Salem, and is currently an award winning radio broadcaster. She prides herself as being a multi-tasker; just like everyone else in the room. She said, Even though we dont know each other, we are very much the same. She explained how as she is broadcasting the news to thousands of listeners every day, she is still thinking of all the Mom things that she must do. She can identify with common struggles; hardships in marriage, being a working Mom, and adjusting to a blended family in a new marriage. She gets up at 3:15 a.m. each day and juggles answering texts from her children at home while being part of a newscast at 95.7 WZID NH in the Morning. Her sense of humor is what she credits for being able to balance it all, as she is responsible for somehow making people laugh in her morning show after just telling them about a mass shooting in part of her newscast. Seven amazing ladies were then recognized for their selflessness and charitable acts and given a large jewel award. Sandra Dennehy was awarded the Pink Diamond Award, representing inspiration, for her involvement with the Salem/Methuen Relay for Life and her involvement with the Salem Lions Club. She was instrumental in helping the Club raise money for fuel assistance for local churches, purchase a guide dog for a Salem area student and to supply aid for local food pantries. She was described as a person who will roll up her sleeves and work tirelessly to make someones life just a little happier and a person who never says no to anyone in need. Dennehy joked that her son has a joke about how his Dad is doing such a great job raising him as a single parent. Gretchen Meisner was awarded the Sapphire Award, representing loyalty, for her stick-to-itiveness; she finishes what she starts with loyalty, poise and grace. With 15 years in various PTA positions and her efforts in renovating Lancaster Schools playground and many hours of volunteering at Woodbury Middle School, she has balanced volunteerism, family and business with great success. A soft-spoken Meisner said, Normally, I prefer I like to be in the background and I am really touched by this. I encourage everyone to bring their loving and affectionate sides into everyday life.

Upgraded Facilities May Be In the Works for Popular Park

by S. Aaron Shamshoyan Changes over recent years to Hedgehog Park have increased parking, built a skate park, and updated the grounds, but soon the restroom facilities could be replaced as part of Phase III of the master plan. Selectmen approved a request by Recreation Director Christopher Dillon Monday to use funds from Recreation Department impact fees to help fund the project. We are moving forward with the Hedgehog Park master plan, Dillon said about the plan to demolish the current structure and build updated facilities along with a patio area. The project would cost between $90,000 and $160,000 to complete. Dillon sought $44,148 from impact fees to help cover costs. He said fundraising would be conducted to raise the remaining money. Dillon said the impact fee moneys would fund initial costs of the project allowing a final price to be determined. Two bidders submitted proposals for the job with the lower being selected. Once a firm price for the project is established, Dillon said fundraising could begin. Initial conversations with potential donors sought a firm price prior to making a donation. Completing the Hedgehog Park master plan is the first priority for the department, Dillon said. A survey recently conducted showed residents felt better park facilities were needed. Increased walking trails and pathways were also desired. He felt there could be a future need for increased sporting fields. Selectman James Keller questioned whether the project would increase capacity at the park citing that to be the purpose of impact fees. Dillon responded saying it would. Updates to Hedgehog Park have drawn a crowd. Its heavily used, Dillon said. Nearly 150 season passes were sold this past year for the park along with an increasing amount of day passes. The structure would be demolished and rebuilt next summer. Selectmen unanimously approved the proposal.

All the Mr. SHS contestants participated in an opening act inside the Seifert Auditorium on October 10 polo shirt and brown boat shoes. But it was Mike Johnston (sponsored by Alex Teuber), decked-out in black pants, grey and white long sleeve shirt with matching scarf and a pair of tan boots who walked away as the winner of the casual wear competition. In the Mr. Beautiful Legs portion of the pageant, each student paraded his legs past a custom-made peephole in the stage curtain; soliciting cat-calls from the audience while trying to impress the judges. After the display of some preHalloween, scary images including guys in high heels, it was Alex Fredette than turned enough judges heads as he was awarded the title. The talent contest was diverse to say the least. Jordan Bowman performed an incredible dance act, exciting the crowd to Michael Jacksons classic Billy Jean; John Breen sang a wonderfully upbeat rendition of The Temptations hit I Cant Help Myself, and Austin OLeary drew a laugh from the audience by announcing that the song he was about to sing was for anyone who ever used my heart as a toy. But it was Ryan Fredette who completed the brother daily double; engaging the audience as they joined him in his strong and victorious performance of Billy Joels Piano Man. In the end, the ultimate title of Mr. SHS went to John Breen whose cumulative score reflected strong showings in all three categories. The energetic Breen, along with sponsor Catherine Simari, accepted the award after the contestants ended the evenings festivities in the formal wear presentation.

Letters to our Editor
Food Pantry Donates $2,500 to NH Food Bank
On behalf of the Salem Firefighters Relief Association, we would like to thank the participants and sponsors of our 27th Annual Dog Days Open Golf Tournament that was held on August 8, 2013 at Merrimack Golf Club in Methuen, MA. Due to the generosity of our players and sponsors, we were able to donate $2,500 to the New Hampshire Food Bank. As the only food bank in the state, the New Hampshire Food Bank is a vital distributor and supplier to the hunger relief agencies that serve meals and provide groceries to people experiencing the negative impacts of not having enough to eat. On average these agencies receive 40 percent of their food from the NH Food Bank. We would ask that people support and patronize the following sponsors that made our donation possible: Santo Insurance, BJs Wholesale Club, Salem Cooperative Bank, Canobie Lake Park, Atkinson Graphics, Two Guys Smoke Shop, Liberty Mutual Insurance, Eastern Bank, Gemini Electric, Greenwood Emergency Vehicles, Bergeron Protective Clothing, Neoscope Technologies, Michaels Market, All Sports Heros, Progressive Energy, Thanks for everyones support. Hope to see you next year! Lieutenant John C. Hall, Chairman, Dog Days 27 and Assistant Chief Paul J. Parisi, Vice-Chairman, Dog Days 27, Salem

Tea Party Republicans Doing Just What ey Promised

As the October 1 federal government shutdown continues into its third week, more and more services and employees are impacted and stocks sink lower and lower, it may be instructive for the right wing electorate to drop the blinders and take a look at what your Republican party has wrought. This is because nothing that has taken place in Washington, from the GOP battle over the Aordable Care Act to their wiping out of essential services for many Americans (including a plethora of national security safeguards) should have surprised anyone. The 2010-elected 40-odd Tea Party faction that voters installed and many states reelected in 2012 had this master plan already in place going forward in their attempt to destroy the Barack Obama presidency, and they have carried out their stated intentions to the letter. Led by former Nixon attorney general Edwin Meese, the plans to bring about the current impasse was hatched last year after Obamas November presidential victory over Mitt Romney. Their eorts, secretly bankrolled to the tune of over $200 million by right-wing billionaires David and Charles Koch under the guise organization Freedom Partners Chamber of Commerce, ran lurid Internet ads and Web videos similar in tone to the scare tactics employed by Sarah Palin and friends in 2008 (remember death panels and unplug Grandma? Same idea, except now targeting larger arrays of people instead of just mainly the elderly). They have also used their cache to fund many antigovernment non-profit organizations, in the process getting hundreds of scripted disingenuous anti-ACA editorials and letters printed to confuse readers, as well as launching thousands of phone calls to congressional oces to give a larger-than-life impression of their antiObamacare movement. Never mind that when the online healthcare marketplaces opened up in October that millions of applicants were unable to access the sites for both information and to apply for benefits, due to their overwhelming numbers. This is one of the many facts that hate-commentators from Rush Limbaugh to

Ann Coulter dont want you to think about: the sad plight of millions of our working citizens currently without a healthcare plan, and desperate to acquire one. In reality, the only scare tactics that have any basis in fact are the scorecards that the Tea Party has been keeping on moderate Republicans to keep them in line as the Obamacare defunding eort continues, making sure that they all vote in accordance with their hierarchys wishes (including the numerous antiAordable Care Act repeal votes that the Republican House has symbolically and fruitlessly held over the past year). They have been warned that anti-Tea Party votes will result in the same level of press and television attacks that used to be reserved for their Democrat opposition. And so the voting direction of an initial total of around 40 ultra-ideologues has swelled to encompass all of Speaker John Boehners House minions, as the centrist Peter Kings, Ted Yohos and James Lankfords along with the rest of the 21 GOP members interested in voting on a clean budget bill continue to take their marching orders from this destructive clique of fools, falling in line on every vote taken. Republicans are responsible for the ongoing mess in Washington, and its nice to see the polls agreeing with this (mostly mid-60s to low-70s), despite the Boehnerled GOP lie-fest claiming that Obamas refusal to compromise is really to blame. It is imperative that Americas voters take action next November and vote out as many House and Senate Tea Party adherents as we can. They have predictably turned out to be a blight on both state and national levels with this ongoing gamble on our future, to make their evil point against a man and an administration that has rescued our nation from the rudderless quagmire that we were all engulfed in five short years ago. New Hampshire voters did our jobs last November, and hopefully well do it all over again in 2014. Now if only the rest of America can just follow suit. Current polls show that the GOP would lose over 30 seats and their House majority if the election were held today. Our national electorate has to have the same mindset next year and eradicate this regressive traitorship. William F. Klessens, Salem

National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day Saturday, October 26

submitted by NH Department of Environmental Services The State of New Hampshire is partnering with the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), substance abuse industry and poison prevention organizations to promote proper storage and disposal of medicine in the home. The health of many New Hampshires citizens benefit from the appropriate use of over-thecounter and prescription drugs, however, when drugs are not stored safely, diverted to unauthorized users or disposed of in an improper manner, serious problems such as drug abuse, accidental drug poisoning and/or contamination of the States water resources can occur. The number of deaths caused by drug use has quadrupled over the last fifteen years in New Hampshire. Ongoing research has identified the occurrence of pharmaceuticals in water resources in some areas of the nation and are suspected to have caused adverse impacts to aquatic life in certain water bodies. 5687.8 pounds (2.8 tons) of unwanted or expired medication was turned in New Hampshire during the April 27 collection. The DEA and its state and local law-enforcement and community partners have removed 21,342 pounds (10.7 tons) of unwanted or expired medication in New Hampshire through six previous take back initiatives over the last three years. On October 26, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., many of New Hampshires law enforcement agencies and the DEA will give the public another opportunity to prevent pollution or pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked. Collection sites will be posted on www.justice.gov/dea as they are established between now and October 26, 2013. Check their website frequently for updates on the location of collection sites. Already, over 70 collection sites have been established in New Hampshire. For more information on how to properly dispose of your unwanted medicine, please visit www.nh.gov/medsafety.

Assistant Chief Paul Parisi explained that a car fire burns at 1,300 degrees and todays cars burn fast because they are composed of mainly plastic. A chili contest was held inside and Firefighter William Bagrowski presented his spicy concoction, while Chief Kevin Breen confidently served bowls of his entry. Guests were invited to place their vote by secret ballot. Chief Breen won the chili contest this year. I wonder if hes using our secret family recipe, joked Breens sister Jennifer. Guests were invited to tour the station, climb up into fire trucks and ambulances, meet a dog that is trained to investigate suspicious fires, meet our firefighters, and listen to The George Williams Band. There were raffle baskets donated from area businesses and raffles for kids from each elementary school to win a ride to school in a fire truck in October and November. Were really excited for people to come out, have some food and learn about fire safety, said Assistant Chief Parisi. Organizer and Salem Fire Department Records Clerk Debbie Scafidi said, It was a good day. The weather could have been better but everyone had fun. So many people and local businesses helped and people told me they are already looking forward to coming back again next year.

Hassan Visits Gamma Medica

by S. Aaron Shamshoyan Attracting innovative technologies to New Hampshire has been a goal of Governor Maggie Hassan and Jim Calandra noticed. Calandra, the CEO of Gamma Medica decided to move his 20-employee company to Manor Parkway recently which develops cutting edge molecular breast imaging devices. Our ground breaking technology provides precision detection, he said. Hassan attended the companys grand opening October 11, excited to welcome them to the state. With your highly advanced and innovative technology, I know youve made the right choice in coming to New Hampshire. The grand opening was slated for October in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month. Hassan said she wanted to make sure the company has support to grow and survive. Senator Chuck Morse spoke about the business friendly environment in the state. New Hampshire is open for business, he said. Morse praised Gamma Medica on their technological advances. This facility is a testament to their knowledge and technology they created. Gamma Medica manufactures and services the LumaGAM MBI system. The devices are designed for early detection of breast cancer. Gamma Medicas leading-edge technology allows for better screening of women with dense breast tissue, which about 40 percent of the female population possesses. Calandra said the large pool of medical professionals in Southern New Hampshire was attractive when deciding on a location for the company. Plans are to add five staff members now that the company has moved. Hassan said the state government continues to work to offer an attractive business environment and population of skilled and educated workers.

Craft Beer Chronicles

Autumn Rocks with Seasonal Beers
by Peter Rayno As I mentioned last month in this space, were in the best season there is when it comes to craft beers. Autumn rocks, in my opinion, as the seasonal beers that craft brewers are rolling out right now are as good as it gets; the perfect balance of flavor and body without being of the over-the-top heavy variety as well start to see soon when the winter seasonals make their annual reappearance. However, in all deference to Alan Jackson, too much of a good thing isnt always a good thing. I speak of the absolute market saturation of pumpkin flavored craft beers that are flooding the market this year. And sadly, with so many wellintentioned craft brewers jumping on the pumpkin bandwagon, many of them are falling far short of putting forth a quality product. Brewing a pumpkin beer is no easy feat. The vast majority of the brews youre seeing out there right now are ales. As opposed to a lager, an ale is usually loaded with flavorful hops, a powerful taste that is not very easy Harpoons seasonal powerhouse, to blend with the flavor of pumpkin. Imperial Pumpkin Many brewers apparently struggle with this balance resulting in some relatively lousy tasting beer. The most prevalent problems are those brewers who overdue the pumpkin flavoring and thus allow the sweetness of the pumpkin extract (which Ill get to in a minute) overwhelm the hoppiness of the ale. And yes, too many craft brewers whove jumped into this pumpkin business are using extract or concentrate as opposed to actual pure pumpkin flavors. I actually blame Shipyard for this whole pumpkin beer mess. In marketing theres a saying that if you cant be the best, be the first and thats what Shipyards Pumpkinhead did. Not necessarily the very first pumpkin craft beer, of course, but certainly the first in our local area to be widely distributed in kegs and bottles. Just my opinion, as all of this is, but I find Shipyard Pumpkinhead to be the poster child for a really poor pumpkin brew. A watery and thin excuse for an ale, the pumpkin taste is way too much, thus compounding the problem. No worries though, put a shot of vanilla flavored vodka in it, smother the rim with cinnamon sugar and there you have it. Of course, true beer lovers may figure out that if you need to put vodka and sugar in a beer, you probably have a lousy beer. Nothing could be more correct when it comes to Shipyard Pumpkinhead. Its not all bad news on the pumpkin front, however, as some craft brewers have done it right. My personal favorite remains Smuttynose Pumpkin Ale. Loyal readers know that I have a soft spot for almost everything that Peter Egleston and the folks at Smuttynose put out and their Pumpkin Ale is no exception. Theres nothing remarkable or unique about this beer, it just simply pulls off the perfect blend of the hoppiness of ale with just the right amount of pumpkin flavoring. Factor in that its an incredibly smooth session beer, packing a well-hidden 5.9% ABV and its my personal favorite in the seasonal pumpkin genre. As I always try to mention, the best part of writing the Craft Beer Chronicles is the reader mail I receive offering opinions, suggestions, compliments and criticisms. Most importantly it validates you folks are out there reading the CBC and for that I thank you. This month my favorite e-mail was from reader Geoff Hammett who opined on his favorite pumpkin beers. One that he pointed out was Harpoons Imperial Pumpkin, a brew that Geoff writes has all the pumpkin pie spices youd expect in a fine pumpkin brew. I love Harpoon but had never tried the Imperial Pumpkin and Geoffs e-mail gave me a reason to take it out for a test ride. Youll find this brew most often in your local super market in a 22 ounce big bottle as I did. Ill start by saying that Harpoons Imperial Pumpkin will never be confused with Shipyard Pumpkinhead. Its an alcohol powerhouse to start, nearly an 11% ABV. Most craft brewers who roll out a beer like this struggle to avoid having the alcohol taste swamp the flavor of the beer. No surprise that this isnt a problem for Harpoon, one New Englands very best breweries. This is a double IPA meaning youll find twice as many hops in this type of brew and its in full evidence. Harpoon hits a homerun with this beer as they masterfully balance

The largest fraudulent purchase occurred in Hudson, where a $1,400 television purchase was completed at Wal-Mart. Salem Officers received a photograph of the suspects from Hudson Police Detectives. The suspects were described as a black male and white female, who were observed driving a Toyota Prius, blue in color with an unknown registration. The Salem Police Department is seeking the publics assistance in identifying the two individuals in the photographs.

and breach of bail conditions. After that arrest, Salem Police Prosecuting Attorney Jason B. Grosky moved to revoke her bail. At an October 7 hearing in Salem District Court, Grosky argued that jailing Plum in advance of trial was the only way to ensure she does not get behind the wheel of a vehicle, and keep her alcohol-free. He argued that Plum is a public danger, that the first DWI involved a two-car crash and the second came after a concerned motorist allegedly found her passed out, stopped at a green traffic light. Incarcerating Plum, Grosky argued, was the only way to safeguard the community. Plums lawyer, Paul Garrity, asked a judge to allow her to remain free, but to place her on electronic monitoring to be supervised by a local bail bondsman. He further suggested that she report daily to Salem Police Department to give a breath sample to show she is alcohol-free. Judge John A. Korbey granted the prosecutions request and ordered Plum held without bail pending trial. She was taken into custody at court and transported to Rockingham House of Corrections. Plum is scheduled to return to court for a preliminary hearing on all matters in two weeks. Trial dates have not been set. A conviction for a DWI second offense carries up to a year in jail, $2,000 fine and a minimum three-year license revocation.

submitted by Salem Police Department On Monday, September 30, at approximately 3:54 p.m., the Salem Police responded to a serious motor vehicle crash at the intersection of Route 111 and Ermer Road in Salem. A 2002 Pontiac mini-van, operated by David Beshara, 54, of Derry, was traveling north on Ermer Road when it struck a 2007 Harley Davidson traveling west on Route 111. The motorcycle was driven by Jay Treshinsky, 57, of Winchendon, MA. As a result of the crash, a passenger on the motorcycle sustained severe lower leg injuries and was transported by medical helicopter from Lawrence General Hospital to a Boston-area hospital. The passenger on the motorcycle was identified as Susan Dionne, 51, also of Winchendon. The Salem Police Department asks that any witnesses to the crash contact Officer John ODonnell at 893-1911. Salem Police would also like to speak with the unidentified operator of a full-size Chevrolet or Dodge pickup truck, color black that made a U-Turn at the intersection of Ermer Road and Route 111 immediately before the crash. At this time it does not appear that excess speed was the cause of the crash and it is unknown if drugs and/or alcohol were contributing factors to the crash. The Salem Police Technical Accident Reconstruction Team (TAR) responded to the scene and will be conducting the investigation.

Barron
submitted by Barron School Music Notes: Music classes have been very busy this first month of school. The first graders have been learning many of the patriotic songs that begin the day in the morning announcements. They have also been working on a new program called, Move It, a program designed to combine expressive movements with classical music. These activities help children understand the organization of music and movement sequences, while exploring personal and general space relating to others. They also help students to discover their inner feelings while listening and moving to music. Second graders just finished a unit on reading basic rhythms using patterns of tas and titis. This is a continuation of skills learned in first grade. Second graders will be listening to a classical piece of music called The Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi, and will end the month with Halloween songs. Third graders began this year with a review of note reading and are now busy learning more about rhythm and specific rhythmic note values. Their singing voices are developing beautifully as they continue to sing Partner Songs. These are two different songs partnered or sung at the same time. In other words, the students are singing two part harmony, which teaches them how to be strong independent vocalists. Fourth graders also had a quick note reading review to begin the year and are now learning how to clap and count rhythms so they will be able to play their recorders this year and band instruments in fifth grade. This is a very challenging unit for fourth graders, but patience and perseverance will pay off in the end. Fourth graders began music enrichment activities during Bobcat Block on October 21. Fifth graders are learning about the Baroque composer, Johann Sebastian Bach. We would not have the music we have today if Mr. Bach had not persevered in his efforts to introduce Europe to his new musical ideas back in 1686 1750. Fifth graders will also study the music of Mozart and Beethoven this fall. The Barron Chorus is busy rehearsing for their Winter Holiday Concert, December 5. It may seem very far away, but when you only rehearse just once a week, we begin thinking about the winter holidays in September. Library Notes: In the library, all of the classes have been working hard learning and reviewing library skills. The kindergarteners, first, and second graders are learning about the parts of the book and book care. Kindergarten, first, second, and third grade students are listening to ten different picture books called the Ladybug Books. They will get a chance to vote for their favorite in December. Third grade classes have been reacquainting themselves with the different fiction and non-fiction sections in our library. In the next few weeks, they will learn how to use our computerized card catalog program called Destiny and will be practicing with it to find the books they want to borrow each week. Destiny is a standard program utilized throughout the school district. Grades four and five have been introduced to this years Great Stone Face books. Students are encouraged to read as many as possible for voting in April. We have also presented genre-of-the-month themes to them. Be sure to check out our website, www.sau57.org/ libraries, for more happenings in the library! Art News: The Barron School artists have been busy at work in the art room since the first week of school. The fifth graders are now in band so the first art lesson was built around cubism and instruments.

Cubism is a form of art where the subject matter is broken up into shapes. The students selected an instrument of choice to draw in detail. Later, both the instrument drawing and background was broken up into sections/shapes and colored. Their instrument was given a bold black shadow to enhance the level of realism in their work. The end result is a colorful example of cubist art with a focus on the integrated arts (art, music and band). The fourth grade artists have been learning about the famous artist Georgia OKeeffe. They studied her famous flower paintings and made similar works of their own, out of chalk. The flower drawings are large and zoomed in to show enlarged flowers. The students used chalk blending techniques to give their flowers movement and texture. The fourth graders selected either warm colors or cool colors to blend their flower petals. The end results are bold and colorful flowers that show care to details and a similar uniqueness to that of the individual artist. Our third grade artists dove into the first project of the school year with enthusiasm. They studied the art of Wassily Kandinsky, an abstract artist. Kandinsky made art with a variety of shapes and lines and even made art that was inspired by music. Like Kandinsky, we immersed ourselves in classical music as we created our own abstract art. The project incorporated the invention of shapes, detailed types of lines, meticulous coloring and the implementation of a three dimension wire to enhance the element of line in our abstract art. The end result is a colorful surprise of both lines and shapes using a plethora of materials. The second grade artists are learning about A Community in their classroom. In the art room we have created our own city community called a cityscape. We made tall 3-D buildings that appear in front of behind other buildings like a real city. Our buildings are colored in oil pastels with cool colors and our background contains a concentric circle sun that was colored with warm oil pastels. The first grade artists have been learning about face proportions and drawing their faces by looking into a mirror. Our work was colored with crayons and our hair was painted with watercolors and blown in wild directions with the air from our mouth. The end result is a beautiful self portrait of the child with an abundance of creativity and personality. The Kindergarten students have been making paintings based around various types of lines, shapes and colors. The Kindergarten artists have been experimenting with mixing their own paint colors and learning how to get all of their white paper spots while painting. Great work Kindergarteners. All of the art students in grades k-5 have been working so hard to follow directions, be creative and explore the many materials of the art classroom.

Manufacturing in NH: Creating Jobs, Growing the Economy

Industry Inviting Students to Check out Careers
Mark Godfrey of Felton Inc. in Londonderry, chairman of the New Hampshire Manufacturing Extension Partnership, said 600,000 manufacturing jobs nationwide are left unfilled because of the gaps in job requirements and skills of those seeking jobs. He told the gathering, I want students to be inspired to see secure, well-paying jobs that manufacturing offers. Beginning Monday, more than 50 manufacturers, community colleges and career and technical education centers throughout the state will host open houses for students to visit and learn about the industry. On Thursday, about 200 people are expected for the 11th annual Governors Advanced Manufacturing and High Technology Summit at the Center of New Hampshire in Manchester, sponsored by the New Hampshire Manufacturing Extension Partnership, New Hampshire Business and Industry Association, the New Hampshire Division of Economic Development and the New Hampshire Environmental shot of Scott Electronics in Salem, a contract manufacturer High Technology Council. submitted by NH Division of Economic Development This is an important week because A Salem company that has grown from five to 95 employees in manufacturing is the backbone of our economy and there are good 26 years earned its reputation as a leader in manufacturing from its career opportunities available, said Commissioner Jeffrey Rose employees and on Manufacturing Day Friday, the operations director of the New Hampshire Department of Resources and Economic urged students and their parents to consider manufacturing as a Development. career path. David Metzemaekers of Scott Electronics, a contract manufacturer serving clients around the world, hosted a group of state and local officials Friday, observed in 37 states as Manufacturing Day. The aim of the day is to educate a new generation about the benefits and opportunities in the industry, which is being challenged by a need for skilled workers. Next week has been proclaimed Manufacturing Week in the Granite State. We hope Manufacturing Week will help educate students and their families that manufacturing is about having a diversified, welltrained, educated work force, Metzemaekers said. The days of dingy and dark (factories) have been replaced with high tech, clean facilities with motivated employees that encourage and welcome change. There are about 2,000 manufacturers in the state, employing over 66,000 people and accounting for more than 15 percent of the GDP.

(BPT) - With the cooler temperatures of autumn flowing in, many Americans will be hitting the road to discover the natural beauty that the season brings. Whether they crave adventure, want to see the fall foliage or are just getting ready for the Thanksgiving holiday, families need to be prepared to ensure they are getting the most out of this travel season. When it comes to fall travel, there is no experience quite like the autumn day drive - its your last taste of crisp air and warm colors before the blanket of winter hibernation sets in, says Editor in Chief of Road & Travel Magazine, Courtney Caldwell. The keys to a successful road trip lay within the amount of preparation you do for your family and vehicle before you put either into motion. Nothing puts a damper on a weekend getaway like car issues that could have easily been prevented by simple maintenance. The American Petroleum Institutes (API) Motor Oil Matters (MOM) program has been established to provide information to consumers on the importance of using high quality motor oils, and verifying the oils are properly identified on invoices and receipts. Oil-change locations and motor oil distributors that share MOMs commitment - and submit to independent, third-party auditing - have the opportunity to be recognized by MOM through the Motor Oil Matters distributor and installer licensing programs. MOM and Caldwell recommend fall travelers arm themselves with a simple plan of action and preparation to help get to their destination: Dont fall behind on your vehicle maintenance: * Change that oil: Motor oil is the lifeblood of your engine. One of the simplest steps you can take to ensure your vehicle is maintained is to change your motor oil with an API-licensed motor oil that meets your vehicle manufacturers recommendations. Be wary of deals that sound too good to be true, and make sure your value-priced oil change includes high quality motor oil. MOM has put together a checklist for consumers, to ensure they are confident when going into a shop. To download this checklist, please visit www.motoroilmatters.org. * Breathe free: Replacing a dirty air filter can increase a vehicles life expectancy and fuel efficiency by reducing the strain on the engine, especially during warmer months. * Check your tires: Pay attention to your tire pressure and tread depth, as they are essential for increased automotive safety and optimum driving performance. The lower the tread depth is on your tires, the less traction you will have on wet and dry roads, and the greater the distance you will need to stop. Enjoy more than the season: * Keeping everyone happy: Write out a packing list for each family member. Store these lists on your computer so you can adjust them for different seasons and trips. Kids can be easily entertained during long car rides in the backseat with trivia, coloring books, games, books, assorted toys and stuffed animals. * Stop and pop: Bathroom breaks are always a good thing. They force you to get out of the car and talk with locals. A 10-minute break every two hours also increases alertness and adds to the overall sight-seeing experience. * Expect the unexpected: Always have a car-safety kit packed for

you and your family. It should contain: an auto escape tool, blankets, cell phone charger, cleaning items, flashlight, jumper cables, matches, pencil and notepad, warning lights or road flares, bottled water, non-perishable items and drinks, extra (hidden) cash, and a well-equipped first aid kit. * Keep it clean: Save and bring a handful of plastic grocery bags in the car to use for trash, damp clothes, or a sick bag for any car-sick passengers.

Longest Roads in North America

Road trips are popular all year long, and driving the same roads during various seasons can yield entirely different views along the way. Many scenic highways can take travelers across the country, and for those drivers interested in traveling the longest roads in North America, there are two options at the ready. At 4,990 miles (8,030 kilometers), the Trans-Canada Highway is the longest roadway in North America. It is a federal-provincial highway system that travels through all 10 provinces of Canada between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. A person can travel all the way from Newfoundland to British Columbia on the highway. The system was approved in 1949 and the highway officially opened in 1962. Drivers on the highway will easily recognize the green-and-white maple leaf route markers. Drivers south of the Canadian border can travel along U.S. Route 20. Spanning 3,365 miles (5,415 kilometers), Route 20 is an east-west highway and the longest road in the United States. In the east, Route 20 terminates in Boston, Mass. In the west, it ends at Newport, Ore. The 0 in the routes number indicates it is a coastto-coast route. Route 20 travels through Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, and Massachusetts. Although the length of U.S. Route 6 was shortened when California renumbered its highways in 1964 and a portion of the route was transferred to another highway, the road is the longest continuous roadway in the United States. It is not considered a major transcontinental route because Route 6 was gradually put together from other routes over time. But it still can get drivers from Massachusetts to California.

Bonnie Wright Teaches Salem Garden Club About GMOs

submitted by Betty Gay On October 1, Salem resident Bonnie Wright, center, between Salem Garden Club members Jan Mattleman on the left and Linda LeMay, brought handouts and a great deal of information to the Clubs First Tuesday meeting at Salemhaven. She explained the current effort by citizens in NH and the U.S. to require GMO labels on genetically engineered, or modified, foods. These foods now occupy 70 percent or more of all American processed foods. A concern is growing because splicing genes from different types of plants, bacteria, fungi, yeasts, animals and viruses produces plants with changes totally beyond cross pollination in nature. Negative changes can take years to cause failing health, long after the pollen with altered DNA has infiltrated to surrounding non-GMO fields, forever contaminating them. Critics point to rapidly rising incidents of illnesses like autism, Alzheimers, and gluten allergy. Besides positive-sounding targets like higher crop yields, a common goal of genetic engineering is to make plants tolerate stronger poisons to kill weeds and insects. These herbicide and insecticide poisons systematically build up in the food and the farmlands, killing off the essential living organisms necessary for ecologically healthy soil, not to mention building up in the people who eat the food. Americans have been subjected to increasing levels of poisons in their food as huge agri-businesses keep lobbying Congress to allow higher doses of these herbicides and insecticides. Like Connecticut and Maine, many concerned NH voters want all genetically modified GMO foods to be labeled, and are asking their representatives to vote for NH House Bill 660. When it passes, NH will join several other US states and 64 countries including all of Europe and Japan and New Zealand. See www. NHRightToKnowGMO.org for more information.

While there were plenty of bright spots throughout the closely contested match, Dover escaped with a 2-0 victory to keep their postseason hopes alive. We have a young team. Were playing five or six freshmen. We competed though and thats all you can ask for, said Head Coach Kendrick Whittle. Three minutes into the game, Salem junior Harley Chute went down with an injury. She would not return to the game. While Chutes health was the primary concern, it was evident that her absence on the field hurt the Blue Devils. Shes kind of the backbone of our team so for her to go down is kind of a blow, said Whittle. It definitely hurt us but (freshman) Meghan Mulvey and (sophomore) Ariana Sullivan both played great filling in for her. Dover scored more than midway through the first half on a rebounded shot following a tremendous save from Salem goalkeeper sophomore Lissa Perry. Thanks to a solid defensive effort and a number of impressive saves between the pipes from Perry, Salem was able to hold Dover to single goal in the first half. Up top, Kristen Korbani and Ashley Glynn played well, said Whittle. All the girls worked hard and did good things. The Blue Devils, who lacked scoring opportunities in the first half, returned to the field in the second half ready to battle. Its a progression as the game goes on they become more comfortable. Typically, this year, weve played pretty decent in the second half. We saw that again today. Salem tenaciously drove through Dover defenders to set up shots. Unfortunately for the Blue Devils, they could not score. Were young so you saw a bunch of chances (to score) but were just not finding the net right now, said Whittle. Dover scored again within the first two minutes of the second half but was held scoreless for the remainder of the defense-dominated contest. With the loss, Salem falls to 1-11 with a pair of ties on the year. Regardless of the numbers, Whittle is satisfied with the improvements he has seen. Were just doing a better job competing. We are not as timid, our decision making seems to be better and goal keeping has been better, said Whittle. Win or lose, the goal for the remainder of the 2013 season has not changed. The Blue Devils will get better and have fun while they are at it.

Comments expressed in this column are the sole views of those callers and do not reflect the views of the Salem Community Patriot or its advertisers. Town and school officials encourage readers to seek out assistance directly to resolve any problems or issues. The Salem Community Patriot editorial staff holds the right to refuse any comment deemed inappropriate. Thumbs down. Elizabeth Warren wants to run for president? First of all, shes not well known or qualified. But most of all, a woman for president? Are you kidding? Please, folks, wasnt it bad enough some of you idiots voted B. Obama in ... now a woman? Please! P.S. By the way, Im a woman whod never vote a woman for president or even CEO! Men only! Thumbs down to Republican Extortionists. Republicans in the U.S. House demanding negotiations while the government is shut down is extortion. When the debt limit is raised and the US is running for all the people, not just the republicans sponsors, the US can negotiate with these treasonous extortionists. There is no use talking to extremist terrorists. good work Rozumek. Thumbs down. A huge thumbs down to the Republican Party, a motley crew that has allowed itself and our nation to be hijacked by a pack of racist malcontents masquerading as tax crusaders. The sight of hundreds of them last week marching on the White House waving their Confederate flags, screaming at president Obama to put the Koran down and leave town. defined stupidity. Decent Americans want Obamacare to work for all of us, respect the right of every citizen to vote, and never wanted to have our government shut down to push their evil agenda. So why did these Tea Party fools get elected in the first place? the school and the kids who go there. Did you catch the laser light show they put on last week? It was awesome and the kids loved it. Paid for by your PTA. Thumbs down to Salem Planners. How shameful it is that Joe Scott who bought the old Coca Cola plant has suffered financially because of you. His quote in the ET is what many potential developers say. Salem is difficult to work with So my question is why is it ok to tear down an old barn near a dangerous intersection and build a drug store/retail plaza, but not an old factory building where there are 4 lanes of traffic? THE FOLLOWING ARE ALL FROM THE SAME SUBMITTER! This is the last week more than one will be accepted. Thumbs comments are limited to 100 words. Thumbs up to the illusion of voting. Higher taxes or less service? Tax increase or cancer-causing remote meters? Spinach or cauliflower? Poison or the electric chair? They have us trained to participate so we buy into their authority over us. Did you vote for the meters or not? as if the act of voting evaporates Hours: your rights to say no. Its called Open mind-control folks. benefit. If you dont like their decision, youre just one voice in this town. One vote. So please knock it off and stop wasting our public servants time with petty topics. They dont need this headache. They have a budget to reduce. Thumbs down to the Communist theory that the State owns and controls everything. Government only exists on paper. Its a fictional concept created by Man to enforce and protect Mans natural right to keep and use his private property. It lacks the authority to violate the natural rights of its creator. We are the public, and they are the public servants. But they convince a guy with a badge and a gun otherwise. And thats exactly where we are today, even in the smallest municipalities. Thumbs down to our poor education system. Direct taxes are not possible in a truly free society.

Salem PatriotSports
Football Team Stuns Merrimack, 38-14

Staff photos by Jacob Gagnon

by Jacob Gagnon It was a game that, on paper, could have gone either way. Each team had something to prove and a goal in mind as they stepped onto the Grant Field gridiron on Friday night, October 18. Merrimack High School, a 3-3 team before the game against Salem, had started the season off hot, yet faltered in recent contests. Salem High School, on the flip side, had pushed past their earlyseason struggles to become a highly competitive football team. The Blue Devils had beaten West High School two weeks ago and lost to a good Goffstown squad by a mere six points the week prior. The Tomahawks wanted to stop their slide, while Salem hoped to hit their stride. When the paths of these two teams crossed it was the Blue Devils who prevailed in spectacular fashion, slamming the Tomahawks, 38-14. From the opening whistle, everything seemed to go Salems way. The kids came out and played hard, said Head Coach Bob Pike. The kids gave a great effort. They deserved it. After receiving to start the first half, Merrimack was able to drive down into Salem territory. On 4th and one yard to go, the Blue Devils defense cracked down on the Tomahawks to stop their opening offensive attempt to create a turnover on downs. After stopping Salems offense, Merrimack scored on their next drive with a touchdown pass midway through the first quarter to take the 6-0 lead. That lead lasted less than a minute. After a couple of carries, senior running back Jason Martinez broke through up the middle and ran nearly 70 yards to tie the game. After forcing Merrimack to punt on their next possession, the

The Blue Devils did not stop pushing Merrimack in the second half as they received to begin the third quarter. After a pair of runs from Martinez to drive down the field, Cerretani completed a terrific pass to Homsey to set up first and goal. Martinez, for the third time of the night, pushed his way past the goal line for a touchdown for the 31-6 Salem lead. We came off the ball well, I thought. We blocked well and executed. Thats what it all comes down to, said Pike. The strangest play of the game occurred on Salems next possession. Cerretani completed a pass to Jake Poore. After making contact with a Merrimack defender, the ball popped loose from Poores grasp for a fumble. The Tomahawks scattered to pick up the ball but wound up booting it back Poores way. Poore recovered his own fumble in the end zone for a Salem touchdown. It was another example that nearly everything had gone right for the Blue Devils. Theyve had a great attitude and they keep getting better each week, said Pike. The goal is to keep getting better. Merrimack High School opened the fourth quarter with a touchdown pass and a two-point conversion to push the score to 38-14. In the final Tomahawk possession of the game, the Salem High defense continued their pressure. On 4th and 10, Merrimacks quarterback took a hit just as the ball was released which led to an interception by defensive back Juan Pena. Salem ran down the clock for the final minutes of the game to clinch the Friday night victory and send a clear message across the Division that the Blue Devils are not to be taken lightly. Its their attitude. We had a tough start to the year but the kids just kept working hard and they believed in everything, said Pike. That makes all the difference.

Blue Devils ran into the end zone again, this time with a sixty yard carry from running back Zachary Luiapaka, to take a lead that they would build on and hold for the rest of the game. Jason (Martinez) and Zach Luiapaka ran hard, said Pike. I thought John Cerretani did a great job running the offense and Tim Dodier, a sophomore lineman, did a great job up front. In the second quarter, the Tomahawks continued to fight back, converting a 4th and 11 for a first down with a pass following a fake punt attempt. Merrimack pushed down the field to threaten at the start of the second quarter. With 11 yards to go on 4th and goal, the Blue Devils defense stepped up again to hold the Tomahawks and give their offense another opportunity to put points on the board. It was an opportunity that the offense would take full advantage of. After a number of crushing carries from the Blue Devils running backs, quarterback John Cerretani connected with tight end Austin Homsey for a touchdown and a 19-6 Salem lead. All game, the Blue Devils had used a squib kick during their kickoffs. A squib kick is more of a short, line drive of a kick that is often difficult for the receiving team to control because of the bounces the ball may take. The Tomahawks had difficulty with the squib kick the entire contest. After Cerretanis scoring pass to Homsey, the Blue Devils regained the ball when Merrimack bobbled the squib kickoff and Salem recovered, continuing their flow of momentum. We like to squib kick a lot because its hard to handle. Weve been doing that all year, said Pike. With a minute remaining in the first half, it was Martinez, again, who drove through Merrimack defenders to score. Following another defensive stop, Salem missed a field goal attempt to close out the half while still leading 25-6.

Girls Volleyball Digs Pink; Spikes Bedford, 3-0

by Jacob Gagnon It was a special night at Salem High School. On Friday evening, October 18, the Salem High School Girls Volleyball squad hosted Bedford High School as a part of their Dig Pink night where donations and concession proceeds were donated to the American Cancer Society as a part of Breast Cancer Awareness month. The Salem community, clad in pink, packed the gymnasium in support of not only their favorite volleyball team, but of loved ones battling or lost to cancer. The Blue Devils did not disappoint. Sporting pink headbands, Salem defeated the Bulldogs, three sets to none (25-21, 25-20, 2522) to record their 12th win of the year. Amanda Bickford, as she has done all year, led Salem. Bickford recorded 12 kills and 14 digs. Ashley Matthews had seven kills while Olivia Burke had nine kills, four aces and four blocks. Rachel Towler recorded 34 assists. The victory over Bedford continued a late-season winning streak that has fueled Salem as they ready for the postseason. On October 11, the Blue Devils beat Alvirne High School, three sets to one (2520, 25-20, 16-25, 25-21). Bickford led with 19 kills. Burke recorded 12 kills. Towler finished with 39 assists and four aces. Sam Riel had six digs while Shari Juranvotis had three blocks. Days later, on October 15, Salem played Exeter High School. Salem swept Exeter, three sets to none (25-10, 25-21, 25-15). Bickford finished with 13 kills while Burke earned eight kills. Towler once again led with assists (35) along with eight digs. Nicki Fallisi recorded four aces and Juranvotis had two blocks. With three matches remaining in the 2013 season, the Blue Devils will need to keep up their winning ways if they are to secure a high seed in the postseason tournament. It appears they are ready to defend their Division Title.

Field Hockey Wraps Up With Win Over Exeter

by Jacob Gagnon It has been a season of high notes for the Salem High School Field Hockey squad so it was only fitting that they finish their season with a wellplayed victory over a tough Exeter High School team on Thursday, October 17. The Blue Devils won, 5-2, to secure third place in Division I. Salem wrapped up the 2013 season with a 12-2 record and on a seven game winning streak. Kiley Keenan led the Blue Devils against Exeter with a three goal performance. Abby Raymond and Chantalle Dumont each collected a goal in the contest. Amanda Travaglini had three assists, while Lizzy Twomey had one assist. Meaghan Williams turned in another terrific performance between the pipes for the Blue Devils as she made eight saves. Williams survived an early offensive onslaught from Exeter to give her team a chance to compete. Salem has drawn a bye in the first round of the NHIAA Division I Championship Tournament and will meet the winner of the sixth-seeded Bishop Guertin and 11th-seeded Concord High School matchup. The Blue Devils will host the winner of that contest on Friday, October 25.
