Permitting Process

Soon to be Onlineby S. Aaron Shamshoyan

New software to streamline the town’s permitting process means residents will soon be able to save a trip to town hall and apply online.

Salem Selectmen unanimously voted Monday night to begin using ViewPoint Government Solutions ViewPermit to allow applicants to apply online and forgo an in-person application.

“It should provide a great benefi t to the public and the staff,” said Assistant Town Manager Leon Goodwin.

The software also features a tablet-based interface inspectors can utilize in the fi eld, allowing for instantaneous updates on a permit’s status, and a centralized data point.

Goodwin said Andover, Mass., currently uses the software and invited him down for a tour where it helped boost the inspections department. About 70 percent of applicants apply online, he said.

“I’m so happy I can’t even tell you,” Selectman Everett McBride said about the software.

Salem will be the fi rst New Hampshire municipality to use ViewPoint, and the company will need to build the program with state and local codes.

Carl Anderson, senior municipal relationship manager from ViewPoint, said the database will be customized with town codes, and existing data will be integrated.

Anderson provided a demonstration of the user interface from both the resident perspective and the inspector.

Goodwin said two fi nalists were chosen after multiple products were evaluated, and ultimately ViewPoint was selected. He said the other alternative charged 4 percent of permitting fees which was detractive.

But funding allocations will need to be created to cover the costs of the new software, as it was not budgeted for in 2014.

Town Manager Keith Hickey said a one-time set up fee of $24,500 could be covered with funds remaining from a server room project. Three to four months of service fees could also be covered from the fund along with money remaining from other projects.

Hickey added that $3,000 remained from monies allocated to replace and upgrade existing town computers.

Selectman Stephen Campbell raised concerns over a convenience fee charged to customers seeking to pay online. He said a 3 percent convenience fee on a million dollar permit could substantially increase the cost.

Goodwin responded saying the program offered a pay-in-person option, allowing users to avoid the fee.

Anderson added a project requiring a substantial permit as mentioned would likely need to be done in person with the building department. He suggested the software would address a majority of basic applications. “I think there’s a real benefi t to the town,” he said.

Anderson said ViewPoint would begin creating the program based on state and local codes and begin to provide training for employees. He said the program could go live once testing and training were complete.

Campbell suggested setting a date for the software to be implemented citing the current program took almost four years to get started.

Goodwin hopes to have ViewPoint available for permitting later this year.

Salem Building Plans on Broadway

by Bob GibbsAmong the currently ongoing community business projects in the works in Salem are the Cumberland Farms at 382 S. Broadway and the site of the former Service Credit Union on 159 North Broadway.

Plans for the razing and rebuilding of a remodeled Cumberland Farms were approved by the Salem Planning Board at last week’s meeting.

The remodeling will be a smaller 4,500-square-foot building and 12 gasoline pumps. The new building will only house Cumberland Farms. At this time, Ralphies’ Cafe Italiano is the only other business in this building. Ralphies is attempting to fi nd a new home in Salem.

Ross Muldoff, the planning director for the Town of Salem, says

the new property will be much more environmentally friendly. The curbing around the entire property will be placed to funnel all rainwater to a fi ltration pond that will be located behind the building. This pond will have aquatic plants that will fi lter and clean the runoff before it gets into the soil.

The property will also have small trees and shrubs to enhance the look of the property. Outside the building will be shaded tables making this a great place to stop for anyone traveling along the rail trail that runs behind the property.

Mr. Muldoff stated that the lights above the gas pumps will be recessed and of a lower intensity, making these lights less of a

distraction to neighbors and travelers along Route 28.

The former Service Credit Union site at 159 North Broadway has been approved by the planning board to be built as an 8,000-square-foot urgent care and medical offi ce building. Parking will accommodate vehicles including handicap spaces. A variance was approved allowing the building to be set back 10 feet from the front property line where 30 feet is the usual requirement.

A tenant for this property has not been announced.For more information on the projects

Town Manager Honors Senior Corps Volunteerssubmitted by Addie Tarbell, Program Coordinator, Friends RSVP

Salem Town Manager Keith Hickey met with a small contingent of Friends RSVP volunteers at the Ingram Senior Center to recognize the contributions of RSVP volunteers and other national service programs.

RSVP is a Senior Corps program that recruits and mobilizes volunteers to meet signifi cant unmet needs. Volunteers work throughout the year to get tasks done that wouldn’t be accomplished otherwise.

RSVP volunteers serve children, families and older adults by providing free Bone Builders senior exercise classes and doing necessary work at locations like adult daycare facilities, schools, senior nutrition sites, healthcare facilities, state and municipal human services agencies, libraries, cultural venues, hospitals, food banks, soup kitchens, nursing facilities, disaster preparedness organizations, thrift stores, transportation programs and many others.

In the last 12 months, 78 RSVP volunteers provided 6,100 hours of service to an estimated 1,880 Salem residents.

In total, 662 Friends RSVP volunteers worked 72,041 hours doing critical community work last year, which saved towns, counties and the state signifi cant funds.

Hickey showed his gratitude for RSVP, and other volunteers contributing to Salem causes, as part of the nationwide celebration of service. “The volunteers in our community are essential to the success of the community’s mission,” said Hickey.

Other Senior Corps programs (under the Corporation for National and Community Service) that have been active in New Hampshire for almost 50 years are as follows:

The Foster Grandparent Program, which engages members to tutor and mentor children in 90 New Hampshire schools and other youth service organizations, providing about 3,500 children with more than 140,000 hours of targeted interventions every year.

The Foster Grandparent Program will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2015.

The Senior Companion Program provides transportation, non-medical assistance and companionship to elderly and disabled individuals to enable them to remain living in their own homes. The Senior Companion Program is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.

The Friends Program is a non-profi t human services agency, based in Concord, N.H., that has served New Hampshire residents since 1975. It operates an emergency housing shelter for families and a youth mentoring program as well as engages volunteers of all ages in community service to meet critical unmet needs. The agency is the statewide sponsor of the Foster Grandparent Program and one of six RSVP’s in New Hampshire; www.friendsprogram.org; 228-1193.

by S. Aaron ShamshoyanA plan to deliver 1,200 megawatts of electricity to New England

was explained to Rotarians last week, and the company hopes to soon move forward with the project.

Scott Spradling of the Northern Pass spoke on the project, which seeks to install a 187-mile transmission line through northern New Hampshire, increasing available electricity to the grid.

Spradling said 1,200 megawatts is the equivalent of the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant, which delivers electricity to about 1 million homes.

The project is facing opposition, and has caused Northeast Utilities, the parent company of Northern Pass, to reengineer a plan for transmission lines.

North country residents argue power lines will decrease tourism and ruin the state’s scenery.

Spradling said the original plan involved up to 150-foot transmission line towers to be run down existing right-of-ways through the state, and caused an outcry from residents.

A second plan has been proposed, including burying 7.5 miles of the line in Pittsburg and Colebrook along with lower towers, and Spradling said agreements are already in place with property owners.

But federal and state approvals are needed before the project can move forward, he said.

Communities in northern and central New Hampshire are not happy about the project.

Information from Bury the Northern Pass, an independent website advocating for the lines to be buried underground, said at least four New Hampshire towns voted to increase funding for legal representation to oppose the project in March.

The site also lists multiple projects of similar length with high voltage transmission lines buried underground or underwater within 500 miles of Concord.

Spradling said burying the lines could triple the cost of the $1.4 billion project. He said the company is attempting to plan routes where lines would be hidden behind natural barriers.

And the additional power is necessary, according to Spradling. “Some of these older plants are going to withdraw,” he said about aging power companies.

Spradling said between 5,000 and 8,000 megawatts of electricity will be removed from the New England grid over the next few years as plants go offl ine. He said the Northern Pass project wouldn’t entirely cover the defi cit.

“We don’t have a lot of other options here in New Hampshire,” he said, explaining that much of the area’s electricity comes from natural gas plants, but there are no plans for expansion.

Spradling added the grid is currently being supplemented by turbine engines powered by jet fuel, but said they were expensive to operate.

this year after attending the recent “Button Up NH – Salem Edition,” a free home energy workshop at the Boys & Girls Club. Andrew Duncan, energy program instructor with Lakes Region Community College, was on hand for this workshop designed to help homeowners fi nd energy-effi cient ways to button up their homes and save money at the same time. Bob Reals, effi ciency program analyst with Liberty Utilities, was also there to lend a hand and go over the many energy-savings

opportunities available to New Hampshire residents. Feeling a chill with this winter weather? Andrew went

over the details of an energy-effi cient home from top to bottom complete with show-and-tell items for the audience such as different types of insulation, lighting, an infrared meter for fi nding out where your home is leaking air and more.

Bob Reals reviewed the home energy audit information provided by Liberty Utilities along with other programs and rebate options. For more information, visit

www.nhsaves.com. The event was sponsored by

Nature Made Simple and the Salem Boys & Girls Club with refreshments provided by the Salem NH Farmers Market.

Many thanks to Liberty Utilities who donated $10 for every Liberty Utilities customer to the Salem Boys & Girls Club. The workshop raised $200 for the club. These workshops are presented all over New Hampshire by the people at Plymouth Area Renewable Energy Initiative. For more free workshops visit www.plymouthenergy.org.

An Open Letter of Gratitude to the Community of Salem …

On February 4, 2014, our world as we knew it came crashing down as we lost our 15-year-old son, Salvatore; more affectionately known as Sal. Sal was a freshman at Salem High, a brother to Michael, Natalie and Sofia, a much loved son to us, and as we have now come to know over the past six weeks, an incredibly well liked friend and student to all that knew him. As we began our journey in coming to grips with our tragedy, we also became aware of what an incredible community we live in. A community that we are so proud we have chosen to raise our family in. Among the responders to our home was Detective Michael Geha. Detective Geha went so above and beyond any job description for our family. He worked tirelessly for answers and comforted and supported us each step of the way. He treated us with compassion and respect and continues to just “check in” on us. Officer Michael Bolduc as well as the many other members of the police and rescue department that were at our home were all incredibly professional, calming and respectful of our tragedy. These people all took their jobs quite seriously while still showing the utmost care and compassion to our family. Truly showing that not only are they “officials,” they are also human; they hurt when others hurt.

The outpouring of support and kindness we have received from the members of our community is just

truly awing. Students at Salem High organized a candlelight vigil in Sal’s honor that had the Icenter filled. This event was organized by Sal’s peers and was held in a respectful manner that showed how much these kids truly care about each other. Teachers, administrators and counselors from Salem Christian School, Barron, Woodbury and Salem High all came to pay their respects, showing how much these professionals truly care about their students. The Salem High Culinary Arts Department prepared food for our family that was so very much appreciated.

As we walked into church the day of Sal’s funeral we were overwhelmed by the number of people that came to support us as we said goodbye to our son. We have received so very many forms of sympathy; cards, letter, flowers, food and phone calls from not only family and friends, but also from countless others that we don’t know personally. Those that just took a moment out of their busy lives to show they cared. We are reminded each day of how our son touched so many lives and what a tremendous community we live in. The largest form of sympathy has been the amount of donations made in Sal’s honor to the Salem Dollars for Scholars Memorial Fund. The fund has received in excess of $4,000 and we hope to see it grow so that Sal’s memory offers assistance to college-bound Salem High graduates.

Although none of these gestures can ever take the place of what we have lost, we would like the community to know that each and every gesture is truly

appreciated and helps to ease our pain. We write to thank each person that has touched our lives in some way, big or small’ and to thank all that touched Sal’s life as there are many of you out there. As we continue to struggle to make sense of this we are comforted in knowing what a great community we live in and that we are surrounded by so many that truly care.

Questioning Scott Brown’s Senate Run

There are three items that I remember from Scott Brown’s failed Senate campaign against Elizabeth Warren. The first one was constantly referring to his opponent as Prof. Warren as if this was the ultimate insult. Mr. Brown learned that academic achievement and brilliance was not looked upon by his constituents with the same disdain that he had for her. His anti-intellectual beliefs will not resonate in New Hampshire either. The second item was his selection of the major campaign issue facing his constituents in Massachusetts. Do you remember what it was?

If you guessed Obamacare, assault rifle background checks, job creation, or energy independence you were wrong. The burning issue that his constituents had to listen to for three months was whether Elizabeth Warren’s grandmother was part Cherokee Indian.

Massachusetts residents who desired and deserved a discussion of the complex and serious issues facing them were short changed by Mr. Brown. Clearly he does not have the ability or will to address the serious issues facing his home states. He will soon treat his new home state (New Hampshire) with his vacuous “how low can you go” campaign style.

The third item was the his agreement with Elizabeth Warren to refuse outside PAC money into the campaign which he has so far refused to replicate with Sen. Jeanne Shaheen in the coming race. The carpet bombing TV attacks flooding the state are being funded by the “Americans for Prosperity” PAC currently spending $30,000,000 nationwide in a blatant attempt to buy the U.S. Senate. The corrupting influence of special interest money has changed national politics in the country and has been made possible by the Republican Supreme Court which has extended Constitutional First Amendment rights to corporations or as Mitt Romney would say, “Corporations are people too!” Apparently Scott Brown has embraced the new politics.

I certainly hope that he keeps his famous brown pickup truck in good repair and has a full tank of gas so that he can pack up easily and drive to his next home state wherever that may be. Senator Jeanne Shaheen has no need for such a pickup because she has only one home state.

to shuttle people to various locations like restaurants, Canobie Lake Park, shopping, beach, voting, etc. Without the vehicle, the elderly would not be able to venture out, and their quality of life would be adversely affected.

by Jessa Piaia. Character actress Praia presents a first-person interpretation of Clara Barton (1821-1912) entitled “Meet Clara Barton: Angel of the Battlefield and Founder of the American Red Cross.” Throughout the Civil War, her tireless efforts ranged from bringing supplies, often using her own funds, to cooking food, and assisting wounded soldiers on the battleground. After the war, Miss Barton was the first person ever to assist the U.S. Government in initiating official record-keeping for the missing and dead soldiers, and was instrumental in establishing the national cemetery at Andersonville, GA, in 1866. While visiting Geneva, Switzerland in the 1870s, she was drawn into participating in relief efforts under the auspices of the International Red Cross during the Franco-Prussian War. This experience prompted her to align the United States with the International Red Cross in organizing humanitarian aid in combat. In 1881, following a decade-long effort, Clara Barton became the first president of the American Red Cross for the next 22 years. The program is appropriate for adults and children ages 10 accompanied by parents.

The meeting is at 7 p.m. at the Old Town Hall Museum, 310 Main St.,, Salem, is open to all free of charge. Light refreshments will be available after the meeting. For details call 893-8882 or 898-0842

submitted by Paula Faist MS, LSWEditor’s note: As a licensed social worker, Paula Faist has worked

closely with seniors and their families over the years. Through her column, she hopes to provide insight on how to handle day-to-day concerns and stressful issues that frequently arise with aging family members. It’s easy to become overwhelmed. Paula hopes her advice will make everyone’s lives a little easier. Just take a deep breath and take it one day at a time. Send your questions to paula@areanewsgroup.com.

I have been extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with the senior population and their family members for most of my professional life. I have worked as a social worker in the nursing home fi eld, a hospital setting and now at Silverthorne Adult Day Center. I have helped answer many pertinent questions over the years on senior issues. After speaking with Len Lathrop, editor-in chief of the Salem Community Patriot newspaper, I thought it would be a great honor to help his readers by having a Q&A column on senior concerns. Hopefully this column will help many of you as you face some senior issues with your spouse, parent or loved one. So with no further ado … here we go.

How do I talk to my dad about giving up his license?As we all know, a license to drive is our key to getting out and about,

visiting family and friends, going shopping, getting to appointments and maintaining one’s independence.

When the time comes that someone thinks we can’t drive, it can be devastating. We sure don’t want to lose this freedom. Needless to say, some seniors are unable to drive safely. You may want to start with talking

to your dad about his health, his poor vision and how his reaction/refl ex time may be a bit slower than it should be.

You want to reassure him that you will organize help to get him to his appointments, meetings, etc. If he is unable to listen to your concern for his safety, as well as the other drivers on the road, you may want to speak to his doctor about your concern. Many doctors are willing to write a prescription or note suggesting that due to illness or visual problems, he should not be driving. You can bring this to the motor vehicle offi ce where they will have an ID only license issued for him. Depending on your dad, you may want to remove all keys and hide (really well!) the keys that you need to have handy.

If hiding keys does not work, you may want to put a club on the steering wheel or take out spark plugs so that the car will not start up. Just be forewarned that your dad may call AAA to come by to check out his problem with the car. We are all brought up to be honest, but you may have to tell some “white fi blets.” You may want to have a family member remove the car from his sight. When he asks for it, you can say it was in an auto accident and is now unable to be driven.

The fact is that most auto accidents in our country are due to teenage drivers. However, with the inexperience of teenagers coupled with the decreased reaction time for the seniors; having both on the road at the same time can prove to be deadly. Losing the ability to drive is truly diffi cult. Keeping a loved one alive is well worth the battle you may face.

Is Dad Still Safe Behind the Wheel?

Patricia “Pat” Conway, a Republican Senior Assistant Rockingham County Attorney, has announced her candidacy for Rockingham County Attorney.

“I am a highly motivated, disciplined senior prosecutor with extensive experience in prosecuting cases in both the district and superior courts along with management responsibilities over attorneys and support staff,” Pat said.

Pat has served the citizens of Rockingham County for 15 years. She has been a lead prosecutor since 2003. As lead prosecutor, Pat handles some of the most challenging and complicated felony cases in the county such as sale of a controlled drug with death resulting, home invasions, burglaries and aggravated felonious sexual assaults.

She supervises attorneys and support staff, serves as liaison between the Rockingham County Attorney’s Offi ce and 10 police departments and conducts grand jury for the Seacoast area. Pat is responsible for training new prosecutors and assists the County Attorney in making hiring, fi ring and offi ce policy decisions. “In 2013 my offi ce prosecuted 2,147 cases. An increase of 490 cases over 2012,” Pat said.

Pat has been trained by the National District Attorney’s Association in trial advocacy, the prosecution of drug cases and offi ce administration. She has received training from the Attorney General’s Offi ce, the American Prosecutor’s Research Institute and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in prosecuting domestic violence, sexual abuse and internet crimes against children.

“I have the experience to insure that all cases in Rockingham County

are handled ethically and appropriately. Crime devastates communities. That is why it is imperative to have a strong County Attorney who understands what it takes to reduce crime and recidivism. A county attorney who understands the importance of representing the 35 towns and 2 cities in Rockingham County,” Pat said.

“The county attorney must not only have prosecutorial experience, but also the ability to lead, manage a staff and oversee a budget of over 3 million dollars. I have the experience to insure all facets of the job are handled ethically and appropriately. I am the most qualifi ed candidate for the position,” Pat said.

“If elected, the citizens of Rockingham County will have a County Attorney who has the integrity, education, experience and maturity who will continue to work hard to keep Rockingham County a safe place to live and raise a family.”

Pat graduated from Suffolk University Law School and was admitted to the New Hampshire bar in 1997. She resides in Salem with her husband and two children.

Pat Conway Runs forRockingham County Attorney

submitted by Salem Police DepartmentSalem Police responded to a call at about 9:46 pm on March 21

regarding erratic operation on Rockingham Park Blvd. The caller reported a white Mercedes Benz had cut them off at least three times and was reported to be “all over the road.” A short time later, Offi cer Michael McCarthy located the vehicle stopped in the middle of Tiffany Road, within the Salem Crossing Condominium complex.

As Offi cer McCarthy approached the vehicle, he discovered a lone male occupant passed out in the front seat with his foot on the brake and the vehicle in drive. After several unsuccessful attempts to wake the male, Offi cer McCarthy was ultimately able to get him to respond. As the male operator woke up and looked at Offi cer McCarthy, he immediately fl ed at a high rate of speed. Offi cer McCarthy returned to his vehicle and followed the male as he drove to the dead-end portion of Tiffany Road. Realizing the road ended, the man then reversed direction and drove back at Offi cer McCarthy striking several parked vehicles in the process. At this time, several Salem Police back-up patrol units were responding to the area.

The man was able to get around Offi cer McCarthy and continued northbound through the complex. The second responding Salem police offi cer attempted to block the narrow travel lane, and the driver of the Mercedes drove off the road and over a snow embankment to get around his cruiser. The man then drove directly at a third Salem Police cruiser and struck it head-on. The operator of the Mercedes then continued to accelerate and pushed the cruiser back an estimated 15 feet before becoming dislodged. The man then drove at another offi cer

whom had exited his cruiser believing the operator had stopped when he hit the marked cruiser. The offi cer was not struck and was able to get back into his cruiser to follow behind the Mercedes.

The driver attempted to leave the complex at the end of Tiffany Road, where he struck yet another Salem police cruiser on the left front corner. The driver of the Mercedes then backed up into a third Salem cruiser as the man tried to fl ee from this collision. This time he was not successful and the car was stopped. Offi cers were able to take him into custody after a brief struggle. During the arrest a large plastic bag of prescription Xanax pills was located stuffed in the suspect’s pants. He was eventually identifi ed as Luis Figueroa, 31, of Salem.

Figueroa was booked on the following charges: Driving While Intoxicated, three counts of Reckless Conduct (felony), Second Degree Assault, Possession of a Controlled Drug with Intent to Distribute (felony), and Resisting Arrest or Detention. He is also being held on a parole violation.

As a result of this incident, two Salem police offi cers suffered minor injuries and were treated and released from the Parkland Medical Center. Three Salem police cruisers suffered signifi cant damage. As a precautionary measure, Figueroa was also treated and released from the Parkland Medical Center. Figueroa refused the services of a bail commissioner on the charges from this incident and was held on a parole violation. He was scheduled for arraignment in the 10th Circuit Court – Salem on Monday, March 24.

The investigation continues at this time, and additional charges are expected to be added.

Third Grade recently wrapped up their Africa unit with a wonderful drumming and dancing performance lead and directed by Annegret and Erma. Each third-grade class put so much effort into preparing for the Africa night and their hard work really paid off. We hope families enjoyed the show and browsing students’ Africa projects in the third-grade hallway.

Third Grade has moved on to learning about simple machines. They will be creating booklets, using technology, and creating their own demonstrations of the various simple machines to gain a better

understanding of how each makes work easier.

As readers and writers, they are currently learning about persuasive/opinion writing. They are reading many mentor texts that fit this genre, and have worked hard to draft their own opinion pieces using bold thesis statements and strong, supportive reasons and/or evidence. Some students are writing why “Homework Should be Banned,” while others are sharing their opinions as to why “Mrs. Teuber Should be Appreciated!” Students are putting great effort into this writing unit. Everyone is looking forward to bright, warm spring days!

“Thumbs up to Sherry Kilgus-Kramer and all the volunteers with Strengthen Our Schools, the positive impact that you made on behalf of Salem’s youth is immeasurable and will reach well beyond the town of Salem for generations to come. I’m Salem Proud!”

“Thumbs down to whiny James Keller who was passed over for the top job on the Board of Selectmen. And because of that, he would not vote when it came time to choose the new chairman. And I just knew that he and Mike Lyons would blame Stephen Campbell for

making life so miserable for TM Hickey that he would cut and run to neighboring Massachusetts where anything goes. I do not recall Stephen on the Board of Selectmen when the many, many previous town managers departed Salem. Keller may have run numerous corporations - which I question - but he does not know how to play nice with others.”

“Thumbs down to Senator Jean Shaheen. Under her watch and with her affi nity for everything Obama, Shaheen has overseen and been party to a $17 trillion debt, unfunded liability of $240 trillion, and over one quadrillion of credit swap derivative debt: all in one generation! Shaheen’s only concern is insuring her plate at the table of the elite. She is a nothing but a socialist helping to steal the fruits of American’s labor. A global elitist who for the sake of American preservation must be removed from offi ce.”

“Thumbs up/Thumbs down. How come Salem town offi cials waited until after the election to announce it may cost thousands of dollars to clean up the contaminated water treatment plant?

Were they afraid that voters would not approve all of the warrant articles and the high school renovation program if they knew of this impeding expenditure?”

“Thumbs up/Thumbs down. Does anyone know how much money Salem schools receive from the state lottery each year?”

“Thumbs up to the man in the black military hat with a lot of pins who is out helping around town with the Veterans and others. I think he was a Marine but not sure. He seems to always

be involved in things around the town of Salem and seems pretty active! He is always volunteering for something good. I hope he reads this and considers a run for an Offi ce in NH!”

“Thumbs down to the builder’s sign at the intersection of Canterbury St. and Main St. The development has been completed for years yet you continue to leave your sign up. Let’s hope you have a permit for it!”

“Thumbs down to the building owner at 392 South Broadway which is seeking to block the renovation of Cumberland Farms because you want them to pay for your dilapidated building. Just knock it down and get over yourself and stop wasting people’s time. Salem needs progress.”

“Thumbs down to the Budget Committee ‘king’ Dane Hoover. Clean up your act and let someone else lead the board. The selectmen’s representative is supposed to provide support for the board not use up all your time with his grandstanding. We know he is part of the ‘club’ which got you elected, but he left the board. You need to get him off the fl oor and let the actual committee to do their jobs!”

“Thumbs down to the person who keeps tagging all the buildings around Salem New Hampshire. Be a man, tell us where you live so we can come and tag your house if you like your name so much.”

“Thumbs up/Thumbs down. Hope Salem does a better job of rebuilding Shannon Road than they did on the Town Farm Road. Construction and garbage trucks are constantly on both roads and

the Town Farm Road is in bad shape and it was resurfaced not too long ago. They need to make sure the specifi cations for the rebuild of Shannon Road addresses the heavy weights of the construction and garbage trucks.”

“Thumbs up/Thumbs down. To Massachusetts carpetbagger Scott Brown. Having no real positions to challenge Senator Jeanne Shaheen’s stellar record with, the Brown

modus operandi will be a steady barrage of more speeches and commercials claiming that somehow middle-class champion Shaheen is our enemy by voting for the Affordable Care Act. Tell that to the six million Americans who now fi nally have healthcare insurance thanks to her efforts, and our military women who now enjoy the same medical benefi ts that we civilians do. And he had little to say when asked about what will happen to those six million people who can now fi nally sleep at night if he gets his wish and guts the program.”

“Thumbs up/Thumbs down. Here’s hoping that Salem School Superintendent Michael Delahanty keeps his promise and fi nds the $199,850 for the high school’s new maintenance garage in this year’s budget and doesn’t come back to the taxpayer for funding.”

“Thumbs up to Town Manager Keith Hickey for his rebuttal to Stephen Campbell regarding the Ambulance bill.”

“Thumbs up/Thumbs down. Just wanted to let you know I assisted in a roll over on Lake St. just before Bluff St. in Salem this morning at 5:20 a.m. Want to give a big thumbs down to the 5-6 vehicles that passed this rolled over vehicle that was in the creek. Those words were from the poor girl who was involved in that accident. I know that in today’s society everyone is worried about being sued for something or other, but come on people ... this was a life here! The vehicle was up to the windshield in water! You couldn’t miss it. I do also want to give 911, Salem Police Dept. (Offi cer Decker?) and other fi rst responders on the scene at that time, a thumbs up for their prompt response time in this scary rollover. A big thumbs up to the accident victim who kept her seatbelt on and was able to remain ‘calm.’ Thank God for Shock!”

“Thumbs up/Thumbs down. Bought fi rst-fl oor condo years ago - nothing but problems - water, water, water. Then comes the smell of mildew/mold. For years there have been problems with water all over. Do not buy a condo (unless it’s way above ground). Buy a duplex! Seriously, it’s

a hassle!”

“Thumbs down. I don’t like what Republicans did to America from 2001 to 2009. I also resent the fact they refuse to help, when the recovery that was a direct result of their leadership. Disrespecting our President while he is trying to clean up their mess is inexcusable. Today, they continue to do nothing, and look only to cause more hardship to America. A Republican congress that votes

no to any help government offers its people, is not a vote getter. Why would the people vote against themselves? Why can’t we get a Republican candidate that’s for the people, and not bought and paid for by folks like the Koke brothers?”

“Thumbs down. This is to the genius that blames the Republicans that for everything except the great biblical fl ood. Big thumbs down. I assume you’re referring to Bengazi, where the

regime in the State House and the White House declined to help four Americans under attack, and then lied about the reason for it being under attack. Happened to look up the resources for you. It was not a lack of resources, but a lack of will. At least two could have been saved, and maybe all four. But the regime led potential rescuers to stand down. Wake up!”

Help Available to Pay Fuel Bills in

Rockingham Countysubmitted by Phil Grandmaison

In spite of rising temperatures, Rockingham Community Action’s Fuel Assistance Program is taking applications through April 30 to help renters and homeowners pay past or future energy bills, according to Energy Director Ryan Clouthier.

“Because natural gas and electric customers with past due bills are no longer protected from being shut off after March 31, we are reminding Rockingham County residents that they can apply for Fuel Assistance though April 30 and urge them to call the nearest Rockingham Community Action office ASAP,“ explained Clouthier. “In the Derry area that number is 965-3029; in the Salem area call 893-9172.”

Fuel Assistance will pay for oil, propane, wood, pellets, kerosene, natural gas or electric heat costs. Payments can be made for a past due balance or as credit toward future use. To qualify one person

can earn up to $ 1,889 and a family of four up to $ 3,871 per month. Fuel Assistance may also be applied to rental costs, as heat is included in rent.

After 36 years of suffering from debilitating allergies to just about everything — trees, grass, cats, foods, dust, you name it — I am living a life free of debilitating allergic symptoms for the first time EVER!” -

www.AdvancedAllergyTreatment.com

In battle number 1, Run on Three went up against Running With Scissors. In battle number 2, Krissy & Drew faced off against Beast ee Boyz. In battle number 3, Chloe & Troy challenged Trogdor. And in battle number 4, The Blind Commissioner opposed Juice Jiving Part III.

Between the round of musical competition the audience was entertained, educated, and amused by the legendary 80s British sensations Lady Twinklestar, Thorn Bjorn and Brick Stonetooth. The stars reminisced of their days on the road with the great rock and roll stars of the past as well as their most recent food consumptions.

After the very competitive fi rst rounds, the next battles were Chloe & Troy versus Krissy & Drew, followed by a battle between Run on Three and The Blind Commissioner.

After the preliminary rounds, the crowd was revved up for the fi nal battle between Chloe & Troy and The Blind Commissioner. This battle had the audience cheering for their favorites and attempting to infl uence the judges.

After the fi nal performance, everyone was left exhausted but wanting more, all of the battlers came on stage to hear the Rock sensations

announce the winner.The winner of this year’s Salem High

For six years Advanced Allergy Centers has been helping people in Southern New England live their lives without the symptoms of allergies and sensitivities. AAC utilizes three of the leading vibrational energy technologies to “reset” the nervous system to no longer react to the substances the person is reacting to. NIAID states that “Exposure to allergens at certain times when the body’s defenses are lowered or weakened, such as a viral infection or pregnancy, seems to contribute to the development of allergies.” Other triggers are times when physical, chemical or emotional trauma is present. The nervous system will associate a particular substance with that negative trauma. That substance is now seen as a threat to the body. Our three systems allow us to break that negative association so your body

does not respond with symptoms like headaches, sinus congestion, hives, asthma, digestive issues, heartburn and sneezing, itchy, watery eyes or skin issues. Whether it is seasonal, animal, food, and chemical sensitivities we can help using this non invasive, no needles, no drugs and very effective approach. AAC was the fi rst offi ce in the entire New England area, and remains the only offi ce to utilize all three technologies. Due to the non invasive nature of this type of medicine, there are no side effects to the body and a success rate of 80%. The practitioners are highly skilled and treat each patient like a family member. If you are sick and tired of feeling sick and tired, call us, we can help. 603-894-0656 www.advancedallergytreatment.com

by Jacob GagnonThe 2013 season ended far too soon for the Salem High School

softball squad. State championship dreams were left unrealized as the Blue Devils lost in the semi-fi nal round of the NHIAA Division I Softball Championship Tournament to the top-seeded Concord High School, 4-2, on June 5 at Southern New Hampshire University.

Salem High, led by legendary Head Coach Harold Sachs, fi nished the 2013 regular season with a stellar 14-4 record. As soon as the fi nal out was recorded in the semi-fi nal contest, however, the returning Salem players focused their thoughts on next year, next season and their next opportunity to accomplish their goal of winning a New Hampshire state title.

The Blue Devils’ quest for a championship will begin against the Crusaders at Manchester Memorial High School on Wednesday, April 16.

Leading Salem this season will be seniors Amanda Bickford and Brittany Wallace. Both athletes had tremendous 2013 seasons yet hope to surpass their performances this coming year. In November, both Bickford and Wallace signed letters of intent to play softball in college. Bickford will be attending and playing for St. Anselm’s College in Manchester, while Wallace will compete with the University of Hartford in Connecticut. Bickford and Wallace would love to cap off their high school careers with a state championship.

by Jacob GagnonChanging the culture of an entire program is no easy task. Just

ask Salem High School Boys Lacrosse Head Coach Robert “Ruppy” Hailey. Hailey, in his fi rst year at the helm of the Blue Devils’ squad, hopes to turn the Salem Boys culture of mediocrity into one of victory.

“We’re defi nitely trying to change the culture. Historically, Salem has had a tough go of it in Division I, so our goals are to become a more competitive team and close the gap on some of the scores we have seen in the past,” said Hailey.

Salem struggled, at times, last season. The Blue Devils wrapped up the 2013 season with a 4-12 record under the guidance of Head Coach Chris Kelleher. Despite the underwhelming results, the Salem boys’ squad showed fl ashes of brilliance on the fi eld. In each of their four victories, Salem scored at least 10 points against their opponents, including a 19-7 clobbering of West High School and two blowout victories over Manchester Memorial High School.

Hailey hopes to make those dominant wins more frequent by creating a culture that expects victory at Salem High School. The team has established talents that, despite their youth, have collected valuable experience over the last couple of seasons.

“We are young, but we do have some varsity experience,” said Hailey. “We have only fi ve seniors on the team, but a good number of sophomores and juniors do have a fair amount of varsity experience

from the past couple of years.”Young teams require strong leadership. A captain, or captains, with

the ability to lead by example is a necessity for a blossoming program. Hailey believes senior co-captain Oliver Ouellet, a mid-fi elder, will help guide the Blue Devils toward success on the fi eld and in the classroom. “He is going to be one of our leaders on and off the fi eld,” said Hailey.

Perhaps Salem’s biggest question mark on the fi eld this season will be at the attack position. The attack is dominated by youth as there will be only one returning player with limited varsity experience. “Our attack men are probably going to be led by Timmy Craig,” said Hailey. Craig, a junior, played only a pair of varsity games last season but showed glimpses of his potential in those outings.

Whether on the ice or in the fi eld, Salem’s Sam MacDonald halts offensive attacks like few high school athletes in the state. For the Salem boys’ lacrosse squad, MacDonald will return to his role as a defender, which earned him All-State Honorable Mention honors last season. MacDonald, also the Salem hockey team’s star goalie, has an excellent opportunity to surpass last season’s defensive dominance.

“We’re going to be a defense-versed team,” said Hailey. “With changing the culture, there’s going to be different practice plans than what we have done in the past to get everyone on the same page and working together.” Over the last couple of seasons, Salem has

struggled on the defensive side of the ball by allowing a number of goals each game. With MacDonald leading the defense this season and a more focused approach to that side of the game, Hailey hopes to cut down opposing teams’ offenses.

Helping that cause will be one of two junior goalkeepers. “In net, we have two juniors who will be battling for the starting spot,” said Hailey. Both Evan Phair and Ryan Nelson will compete for the starting job. Both athletes have limited experience at the varsity level but have had solid outings when called upon to play.

“A smaller goal this year would be to fi nish somewhere around .500 which would be a drastic improvement over what we have done in the past,” said Hailey. “We’d like to qualify for the postseason tournament.”

Salem will open their season at home on Wednesday, April 16 as they host Timberlane High School. It will be the fi rst step on a journey toward a revitalized program. That, at least, is the plan for these Blue Devils. “Building the team from the beginning is going to be really important for us,” said Hailey. “Teamwork, in all aspects of the game, is going to be important.”

submitted by Salem Bulldog Wrestling TeamThe Salem Bulldog wrestling team recently completed a dominant

eight-year run by winning the Youth New England Wrestling Championships. More than 150 teams from each of the six New England states competed in the tournament. The Salem Bulldogs won the “town” division of the tournament, and local powerhouse Smitty’s Barn won the “club” division of the tournament. While both the Salem Bulldogs and Smitty’s Barn earned the distinction of champions, several other local wrestling organizations competed well and represented the local area proudly. The top fi ve teams from each division are listed below:

Town: Salem, N.H. (fi rst); Danbury, Conn. (second); Masconomet, Mass. (third); Chelmsford, Mass. (fourth); and Timberlane, N.H. (fi fth)

Club: Smitty’s Barn, N.H. (fi rst); Doughboys, Mass. (second); NE Elite, Conn. (third); Mercury Rising, Mass. (fourth); and KT Kids, Conn. (fi fth)

While the achievement of the wrestlers in winning the New England tournament is outstanding, the journey that got them there is equally impressive. Over the last eight years the Salem Bulldogs have been almost unstoppable at the NH state championships. The current members of the 7th and 8th grade team have won six of eight state championships, the members of the 5th and 6th grade team have won all six of six state championships, and the members of the K-4 team have won three of four state championships.

The success of the Salem Bulldogs is clearly an indication of the commitment and hard work of all its members. Individually, the Salem Bulldogs have produced four New England champions and several state champions over the last eight years. Many of those wrestlers have earned those championships in multiple years. The New England champions and state champions from the current team are listed below.
