Christmas Parade Salem Lions Help Local Families

Draws Young and Old
for Thanksgiving
by Robyn Hatch
The Salem Lions Club helped 30 local
families celebrate Thanksgiving this year.
The club members prepared and delivered
30 Thanksgiving baskets to local residents.
The Lions assembled the baskets full of
Thanksgiving favorites and delivered them
to local families who would otherwise have
been unable to celebrate the holiday.

Project Chairperson, Diane Maddox,

along with her committee, created
the grocery list, did the shopping, and
assembled and delivered the baskets with
the help of the Lions Club mascot for the
families’ Thanksgiving Feast. According to
Maddox, “the Thanksgiving basket project is
a great way for the Salem Lions Club to help
families in need during the holiday season.” staff photos by Robyn Hatch

Most of the schools had floats with their students riding on them,
waving flags and looking for their parents and relatives. St. Joseph’s
had a huge display celebrating their 50th Anniversary, complete
with the parade’s Disney theme and movie film. Chief Puzzo from
Salem’s JROTC came down the street in an airplane that the class
had just finished, promoting the incredible program they offer. With
a smile on his face, and a wave to all, he was definitely having a
great time. The Salem Animal Rescue walked down the street with
some of their dogs waiting for adoption. This almost made you
want to adopt right on the spot. Many dance academies performed
routines on the street, and historical tractors showed the crowds
what the machines used to look like to what a tractor is now. The
Lions Club Lion Mascot was busy waving to the crowd and the

Shriners entertained with their miniature cars. Boy Scouts, Girl

Scouts, and the Salem Blue Devils all made the parade exciting
and well worth the wait. After a delay and anticipation built to the
maximum, Santa arrived waving to the crowd. The children were
thrilled and waved back to him. The crowd left quickly in an orderly
fashion with visions of Christmas dancing in their heads. Good
job, Salem, and all who put this event together! Christmas is now
officially here!

Families in Need Benefit
from Christmas Fund
by Andrea Ganley-Dannewitz
Lee is a single mother with two minor children, ages
16 and 7 years. Newly divorced and trying to refinance
the family home has put a major strain on her financial
situation. “I injured my hand and am currently disabled.
On top of the divorce and refinancing the home, I needed
help with gifts for my children for Christmas. I applied
for help last year and I just can’t say enough about how
wonderful this program is,” said Lee.
Two years ago, Lee and her husband separated. Since
then, she has been trying to make ends meet on very
little income. Her family is just one of many within the
community that are struggling right now. The Salem
Christmas fund really makes a huge difference in a family’s
life by providing the extra help needed during the holiday
season.
“The program is unbelievable and the people are so
wonderful. Last year was the first time I sought or even
needed help. My family was provided with a Christmas
food basket, turkey with all the fixings, and I mean
everything—potatoes, cranberry sauce, fresh fruit, and
vegetables. We were given vouchers for clothes for both my
minor children, and I also went to the toy drive for gifts for
my little one. Everyone there at both the food basket site
and the toy drive was so patient, so sweet, and so caring!”
Lee said.
Lee is hoping to be able to assist others like her next
year. She says even if she were unable to assist with money,
she would love to help organize food baskets or help with
the toy drive. “I hope this is the last year that I need help.
Giving back what others give to you is the best feeling in
the world. I even wonder during times like these where so
many are struggling and unable to help, there are still those
who have more than enough and are willing to give,” Lee
added.
The Salem Christmas Fund helps Salem residents in need
of assistance during the holidays, and works in conjunction
with Toys for Tots, which donates a portion of their
collection to the Salem Christmas Fund. For those interested
in donating unwrapped gifts to Toys for Tots, visit one of the
many collection sites around town. For more information

ADOPT ME
Letters to our Editor
Don’t Support
the Public Option
When did America settle for a political elite?
These politicians now in power created their
over-average salaries, pensions for life, health
care for life from their “à la carte” plans, fawned
over and bribed by business, activists, and foreign
governments. The penultimate is Barry Obama,
the smiling agent of “fundamental change” in
America. From his actions and policies, he is here
to re-enslave America and make the evil middle
class indentured servants of the State.
Why? It is written that families will pay 16
to 25 percent of their gross income for DMV
healthcare premiums, in addition to the current
28 to 39.9 percent of their net income for income
tax. Combined with FICA, excise taxes, property
taxes, and all the other taxes (20 percent of your
phone bill is Gore Tax), the average dual-income
earner family earning $100,000 will have a net
income of $30,000. Thirty-thousand dollars for
food, mortgages, car payments, school incidentals,
vacations, a movie, and the rest of life. A $44,000
family of four pays 17 percent.
In the current Obamacare Bills, Obama
criminalizes normal behavior between you and
your doctor. If you “don’t pay the premium,” you
are a felon and there is 2.5 percent of your annual
income as a fine. If it is determined that this is
“willful non-payment,” then there is a $250,000
fine and up to five years in jail. If you try to spend
money privately for treatment; once again, you are
a felon and so is your doctor!
The media happy talk about how this bill
addresses current healthcare concerns is a pack
of lies.
1. The Bills front-end the taxes by four years,
during which the “public plan” has no effect.
Therefore, there are only six years of costs and
“no deficit.” Until year 11 and onwards. That
is, unless the money was already spent by these
statists.
2. You can keep your current plan. Only until
Obamacare actually kicks in. After the
imposition of the “public option,” private
insurance is illegal.
3. You can keep your current doctor. Forty-five
percent of doctors have announced they will
resign if Obamacare is passed. Even if only
20 percent retire, the influx of 30 million new
patients will eliminate your current ability to
see your doctor.
4. The public option causes competition. Every
time the government enters a market in this
manner, it can dwarf the market because of
deficit spending. With the average profit margin
for a health care insurer at 8 percent, they don’t
number. If this number is judged too high, then
no treatment is recommended for the patient. By
the way, don’t believe me—go read it in the bill.
Right now, GovernmentCare – VA, Medicare, and
Medicaid refuse treatments at twice the rate of
insurance companies.
Our current system allows choice. It does
need work, but mostly to repair past travesties of
government intervention. If we allow Obama to
criminalize and nationalize our health, we only
have ourselves to blame.
Call or visit your representatives and tell them
not to pass this bill.

The waiver/grant is specifically designed
for “Select Groups of Individuals.” The
waiver does not include the population
of children who are Medically Fragile or

Support Center for Domestic Violence
and Save on Laser Services
For the past 25 years, the Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center in
Newburyport has been offering a growing list of services to not only
support victims of domestic violence, but also to educate members
of the community so that we can all come together to end domestic
violence. Their services are designed to help victims through the
process—from helplessness to hopefulness. The Center’s goal is to
empower people to live free from fear, intimidation, violence, or
the threat of abuse by providing support, advocacy, and education.
Some of the services offered include:
• A confidential, 24-hour crisis hotline
• One-on-one counseling
• Support groups with childcare
• Help obtaining restraining orders
• Legal and court advocacy
• Emergency shelter
• Children’s counseling and support groups
• Teen dating violence education
• Community outreach and education
• High Risk Response Teams—collaborations with local police
departments
• Legal representation by staff or pro bono attorneys
• Customized training and curriculum development
Hannaford Helps Fight
Hunger Program
Fund a Feast Boxes Allow Shoppers to
Provide Essentials to Local Food Banks,
Pantries
Hannaford Supermarkets is again making it easy for customers to
donate to families in need during the holidays through the Hannaford
Helps Fight Hunger program.
A centerpiece of the initiative is Fund a Feast, which since
November 1 has featured boxes containing food staples in all 171
Hannaford stores in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont,
and New York. Shoppers may purchase the boxes for $10 each and
place them in a bin for distribution to local food banks and pantries.
In return, customers receive a coupon book worth $50 in savings.
“Fund a Feast lets people help their neighbors and receive value for
their own families at the same time,” said Michael Norton, director
of corporate communications for Hannaford. “The program offers a
convenient way for our customers to give and to save.”
Each Hannaford store selects a local pantry that will benefit from
the Fund a Feast donations, and the program lasts as long as the
boxes remain available. Last year, the sale of 90,000 boxes – filled
with essentials such as tuna, pasta, canned vegetables, and soup
– generated just under $1 million in goods for food pantries and soup
kitchens in the communities Hannaford serves. More than 150,000
boxes have been collected since 2007.
“There’s a whole meal in that box,” said Ginny White, director of
Ginny’s Helping Hands Food Pantry in Leominster, MA. “If you don’t
know what to give for the holidays, give a box of food from Hannaford
to people who really need it.”
Food pantries throughout the Northeast are seeing record numbers
of people seeking help because of the slow economy. Preble Street,
which operates Maine’s largest food pantry, has seen a 30-percent

“At least 70 percent of themTalk to been to a food pantry

meeting that need.”

In 2008, the Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center served 978 victims of
domestic violence. While it costs $22,000 per week to keep their
doors open, state and federal funding provides less than 45 percent
of the finances needed to provide services. Your donation will be
greatly appreciated, especially during this holiday season, in light of
the current economic environment.

Carla Vara, the clinic director at All Care Laser Center, recently
volunteered for a fundraiser at the crisis center and was so
impressed with the staff, as well as the services offered at the
Center, that she thought it was wonderful holiday promotion for All
Care Laser Center to participate in. All Care Laser Center is one of
the three businesses located at the Korbey Medical Arts building on

is also accepting donations at All Care Medical and the newly

Even if you’re not driving through a
blizzard, the effects of winter weather
pose a mobility challenge for everyone,
whether it’s the possibility of slipping
on the sidewalk or delayed flights due
to icy runways.
Cold temperatures only add to the
frustration of winter travel. It’s little
wonder that some people forgo the fun
of holiday gatherings to stay home. For
seniors, in particular, the ice and snow
of winter is more than a discomfort -
it’s a hazard. It’s so easy to slip and fall
that many choose to stay inside, rather
than take the risk of an injury from
falling. Going outside to simply get the
mail can seem like a chance they don’t
want to take.
The best way to face down winter
and all its challenges is to think
ahead and be prepared. A few simple

* Get the right gear - Clothing has
to go to the next level in winter and
serve a real purpose. Not only do you
need added warmth, you have to have
traction gear for ice and material that
will keep out the dampness of snow,

has come a long way in helping us
deal with winter. New, lighter-weight
fabrics fend off sub-zero cold and all
kinds of precipitation without adding

Patriot Community Sports Blue Devil Basketball Players Step into New Roles this Season

Patriot Community Sports

by Chris White
With a loss to Manchester Memorial in the
semifinal round last March, the Salem boys’
basketball team will return to the hardwood this
winter with one thing in mind: win a state title.
After winning back-to-back state championships
in 2007 and 2008, the Blue Devils are hungry to
return to excellence. The team will embark on its
quest for its third championship in four seasons
starting on Friday, December 18, at home against
Nashua North. Until then, the Devils will play in
a number of preseason scrimmages to prepare for
the season. Preseason contests include match-ups
against Haverhill, North Andover, Campbell, and
Pelham.
The Blue Devils return a handful of players
who made significant contributions last season.
They will be led by senior captain Alex LaRosa.
The third-year varsity member will run the team’s
offense as the starting point guard and be the first
scoring option. Many of Salem’s offensive sets
will run through him.
“Alex has been a leader in every category for
us,” head coach E.J. Perry said. “He will have to
get a lot of points and defend well this season. He
was doing it towards the end of last year and we’re
looking for him to do it again this year.”
Senior Kyle Henrick and junior Joe Gallant are
two more returning starters who will patrol the
inside for Salem. Henrick is expected to act as the
team’s enforcer and keep big men from opposing
teams off the glass. His role last season included
mostly rebounding and setting screens. This year,
however, the all-state football defensive lineman
will have an expanded role on offense as the
team’s third scoring option. He will score points
by using his ability to get to the basket and help
the team’s offense. Gallant, who worked hard
on improving his post-game over the summer, is
ready to become a consistent force on both ends
of the floor.
“Joe needs to become a dominant player,” Perry
said. “He’s going to have to finish on the inside
and rebound at both ends.”
Matt Cannone, who quarterbacked Salem to a
football state championship this fall, will look to
work his way into the starting line-up this season.
The versatile wingman came off the bench last
season and showed the ability to shoot the ball
well. The junior is also capable of driving to
the basket and can play almost any position,
including point guard. He has also proven to be
one of the team’s most respected leaders.
The Salem roster also features two lesser-known
players that dedicated to improving their games
this past summer, and could potentially make
an impact this season. Junior Jeff Meisser has
improved his ball handling and shooting, and will

Versatile Girls’ Basketball Squad Looks to Improve on Last Season’s Record

Senior Olivia Connors will look to be a consistent force on
the team this winter.
by Chris White
After a first-round playoff exit last season, the Salem girls’ basketball team
looks to come back strong this year with seven players returning. An 11-7
regular season record made it difficult for the Blue Devils to advance well into
the playoffs last March, as they were matched with Dover on the road in the
opening round. This year’s team will look to better its regular season mark
from a year ago to achieve favorable position in the Class L standings, which
will ideally translate into post-season success.
The team has been practicing together since November 23, and will open
the season on Saturday, December 12, with a road game against Manchester
Central. The Blue Devils are scheduled to play two pre-season scrimmages
before then. One will be at home against Trinity and the other will be at
Lawrence. So far, the Salem players have collectively shown a good attitude,
tireless work ethic, and high basketball IQ in pre-season practices.
“This is already one of the smartest teams I’ve coached,” head coach Liz
Briggs said. “They’re coachable, and they listen and adapt well. They try to
implement your coaching.”
Briggs will look to her seniors for leadership this season. Olivia Connors,
Nora Galvin, Amanda Vaudreuil, and Sarah Raye are all seniors who had
significant experience playing on the varsity squad last season. Juniors
Gina Righini and Jen Bujnowski also return from last year’s team, along with
sophomore Kerry White. Salem will feature five new players this season.
Juniors Kelly Forrest, Kelly Nolan, and Johana Rodriguez will be eager to take
advantage of their opportunities, while sophomores Steph Long and Sammi
LaRosa will provide depth for the squad.
The team will not have a definitive go-to player, but each athlete offers
something that contributes to a steady inside-out combination. Salem will
find strength in Connors on the inside at both ends of the floor. Bujnowski,
who has improved greatly, will also look to make an impact down low. Both
players have shown the ability to create inside. Righini, Galvin, and Vaudreuil
will give the Blue Devils a few outside shooting threats while making other
contributions from the perimeter. Meanwhile, White has played solid in
practice and will give Salem a consistent shooting option on the wing.
The Blue Devils will focus on playing to their strengths and take what their
opponents give them this season. They will first look to push the ball up the
floor and create opportunities for easy lay-ups. If they cannot convert an easy
basket, they will fall into their half-court offense. The half-court offense is
one facet of the game that the team needs execute in order to be successful,
Briggs said. Personnel-wise, the pieces are in place for a winning season. The
team’s versatility and ability to adapt well to different situations will be major
assets in trying to win games.
“We’ve never had a really strong combination of both inside and outside
before,” Briggs said. “We could have it this year.”
