Cannot Be Combined. Expires 9/4/2014

by Bob GibbsWith plenty of warm summer weather ahead, you may be looking

for a nice outdoor swim in Salem. There are a few places you may want to try. The most well-known swimming area in town is Hedgehog Park. Other lesser-known areas are Shadow Lake, Captains Pond, Millville Lake, Arlington Pond, and Second Street. Ironically, swimming is not allowed in the best known body of

water in Salem, Canobie Lake. Canobie Lake, being a source of water for the town, is a protected waterway. Swimming in Canobie Lake is an arrestable offense.Hedgehog Park provides ample parking with restrooms, lifeguards,

a play area, picnic areas including grills and a skateboard park. Located on Route 38 near the Salem Icenter, Hedgehog provides a relaxing place to enjoy the view of the water with the surrounding trees. It provides many areas to lie in the sun or relax in the shade of the trees.Shadow Lake located in North Salem on Shadow Lake Road has a

small beach area across from Sylvan Road. There are no lifeguards and the parking is very limited. Captains Pond also is unguarded and you may need to fi nd a friend who lives on the pond in order to get to the water. Second Street is maintained by a neighborhood association.Millville Lake offers a small public area located on Millville Circle

that has a beach area. Millvale offers a small parking area, a few picnic tables, and is a perfect place to put in a canoe or kayak. The bottom of the beach is sand and both sunny and shady areas are available.Arlington Pond is the largest body of water in Salem with many

inlets and areas for swimming. Many of the areas are owned by the various neighborhood associations around the pond; there are areas along the pond that provide access to the waterfront. One popular area is on North Main Street just north of Corinthian Drive. This is a very popular fi shing hole, providing access to swim, canoe, and kayak. On July 8, water samples from association and public beaches in

Salem were collected and submitted for microbiological analysis to the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services

Laboratory in Concord. All of these beaches are in compliance with the guidelines established by the NHDES for safe swimmable waters. The samples were analyzed for bacteria (E. coli), the indicator organism utilized to determine safe swimming conditions. At a freshwater beach, an advisory is posted if either of the two samples collected at a beach exceed the state standard of 88 counts of E. coli per 100 milliliters (ml) of water or when one sample exceeds 158 counts. Two samples were collected from each beach in accordance with the NH DES Standard Operating procedure for Bacteria Sampling. Hedgehog Park is scheduled for major improvements in the coming

years. Phase III of the program is to demolish the current building that houses the bathrooms, storage, and warming area. In 2015, construction will begin for a new building with bathrooms, storage for the lifeguards, and an extended pavilion with nine picnic tables and enough room to handle just under 100 people. A small concession stand, which will be leased out by the town, will also be housed in the new buildingPhase IV of the plan is to add circulation to the pond water. Currently,

the water in the pond is stagnant as it comes up from a spring. The pond was created when the sand was dug up and sold. A circulation system will move the water, reducing the bacteria that often closes the pond to swimming.Other plans for Hedgehog Pond include the addition of a basketball

court, two tennis courts and additional parking.

Bugs Beware; Plant Lovers RejoiceZBA Denies Variance after

Substantial Property Work

by S. Aaron ShamshoyanA request to operate a commercial landscaping

business on a residential property was denied by the Salem Zoning Board of Adjustment after the applicant has been working on the property since early this year.Raymond Matthes of Matthes Landscaping

purchased a residential property at 15 Brookdale Road, hoping to construct a storage building and operate his landscaping business from the location.Matthes said improvements have been being made

to the property since it was purchased, including major landscaping improvements and construction to the interior of the existing house.We stripped the lot and we fi xed it, Matthes told

the board. I cleaned the place up; it was falling down.Matthes said he had the opportunity to receive fi ll

from area road construction projects, and used the material on the lot.But neighbors said the work has been nothing but

a nuisance, saying multiple trucks have visited the property several times a day, and that equipment was being stored on the grounds.Edward Frazier of Brookdale Road said about 30

loads of material have been brought to the site daily. Its been nothing but trucks, trucks, trucks, Frazier

said. The dust is horrendous in the house.Frazier said trucks visit the property as early as 6:30

a.m. and continue past 8:30 p.m.Area resident James Stone said his property is

separated from the Matthes location by the 20-foot former trolley way.

Sytek Announces Candidacy for Re-election

Seeks sixth term as state representative

State Representative John Sytek of Salem has fi led for re-election to the New Hampshire House in the Republican primary to be held September 9.A resident of Salem for

over 40 years, Sytek served three terms in the legislature during the 90s. After retiring as a Latin and math teacher at Salem High in 2010, he was elected and reelected to the House, where he serves on the committee that deals with retirement and professional licensing.Rep. Sytek is committed

to limited government and fi scal responsibility. He supported legislation that put the state retirement system on the road to solvency, assuring that promised benefi ts would actually be paid. He voted for the expansion of gambling only after a robust regulatory structure was included in the bill. Recognizing the importance of maintaining our roads and bridges, he supported the bill that increases funding for local roads and assures

the completion of the I-93 expansion.I try to be a thoughtful

legislator, evaluating each measure on its own merits, regardless of partisanship. More often than not, I think the Republican approach is the right one, but I dont march lockstep with anyone, he explained.Sytek was a member of

the planning committee for the renovation of Salem High School, and testifi ed in favor of the $10 million school building aid package. After months of meetings with architects and construction fi rms, he was part of the successful effort to get voter approval of the bond issue.Rep. Sytek has served

on the board of Salem Dollars for Scholars for 20 years and has been Town Treasurer for 15 years. He is a graduate of MIT with a degree in nuclear engineering. He is married to former Speaker of the House Donna Sytek and has an adult daughter.

Tux could use one too. This six-year-old, miniature pinscher loves to go for walks of any length - long or short. Tux looks like a kangaroo when he sees his leash, hes so excited. He is great with adults and very good with older teenage children. He is very sweet and loves to be wherever the people are, following you around the house. He is not a lap dog but will snuggle next to you on the couch and would love being the only pet in the house so he can get that special one-on-one time. Come meet Tux and the other dogs at the Salem

by Michael W. Delahanty, Ed.D., Superintendent, SAU 57Communication forms the foundation of every successful

partnership. The school districts communication efforts have not always been described as effective. In acknowledgment, and as an element of our fi ve-year strategic plan, the district identifi ed strong communication strategies as tools to foster community engagement and support. Its important that the community knows about our schools and how were addressing the educational needs of the communitys children and adolescents. Considerations include communicating student progress and achievement; ensuring that parents and the community understand our learning expectations and how everyone can support students in their learning efforts. Helping to build awareness of the tools and resources we offer to

parents and the greater community is one strategy we can develop. After all, we share a common goal of improving student learning, and we should share consistent messages of high expectations for learning. Another strategy is to use a range of communication tools, including print and electronic information and delivering that communication directly to interested and necessary parties.

It should be concise and targeted to its intended audience. Still another strategy would consider todays mobile environments, and the widespread availability of electronic devices. It would be an exciting improvement over opportunities of past years.In late August, we will introduce

ParentLink. This mobile device application is not only for parents. Students and broader community members also will be able to have immediate access to school and district information as soon as its available. The Salem School District mobile application acts as a one-stop shopping source for all digital information from district and school websites, Twitter feeds, and Facebook posts will go directly to anyone who downloads the application. Parents and community members can select the schools from which to receive information.

District information will be provided automatically. Event calendars and contact information will be included, along with other commonly sought information.

This mobile application provides a vehicle for immediate communication by way of notifi cations pushed to the users mobile device. This allows the district to quickly disseminate school or district notices, including reminders of important activities and events. The notifi cations are made within the ParentLink application, and, therefore, text messaging expenses do not apply. The application includes a feedback feature that we encourage parents and others to use as a way to share thoughts and ideas about the application with the

school district. Our goal is to provide useful and timely information about school and district activities and events.

by Bob GibbsJane Della Higgins of Salem appeared at the Tuscan

Market on August 9 to autograph copies of her new cookbook of award-winning desserts and favorite recipes. Joining her was Janes sister, Joyce, a cancer survivor. A $1 donation was made to the American Cancer Society from each book sold. As a part of the Tuscan Kitchens continued great efforts in the community, Tuscan Kitchen will donate 10 percent of all dessert and bakery sales from the day to the American Cancer Society. According to Jane Della, This is a collection of delicious

and simple hardtofi nd kitchentested recipes. These are some of my awardwinning and favorite dessert recipes compiled by me - Jane Della Higgins. These are what I call Plain & Simple Recipes. Enjoy!These are the recipes she has baked and altered over the

years. She has a recipe for blueberry muffi ns similar to the great muffi ns that Jordan Marsh department stores would make. Jane feels that these recipes fi ll a need for tried and true dessert recipes.

Jane has won blue ribbons, and fi rst-place awards at county fairs in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. She has also been featured in several newspapers over the years. This is the fi rst of several books Ms. Higgins will be

publishing. She has two more cookbooks coming out soon. In addition, she has plans to publish a book describing her and her husbands life experiences. To order Janes book you can go to her website, http://auntiejanedella.com.

Stand by Market Basket Employees is not Political

I had to respond to last weeks disturbing letter to the editor from Dee Lewis. While Ms. Lewis has admitted to being a liberal democrat, her comparison of Market Basket workers and democratic lawmakers was distasteful.By asserting that all these protesting employees and

customers of Market Basket are just like democrats, it diminishes what the workers stand for. I am willing to bet that at least half, if not more, of those protesting are Republican, or at least conservatives.Th ese protestors are not union members, which are

liberal institutions. Th ey are a company of 25,000 people who care about each other, their customers, and the communities they work in. To compare that to democrats being the only people who are interested in fi xing our infrastructure, our schools, jobs, education, and healthcare for women, to Market Basket employees who love their jobs, is ludicrous. Saying that Market Basket employees, as well as voters, can make a diff erence by voting for democratic candidates is embarrassing and off ensive. One has nothing to do with the other.My point here:You can be a liberal, union loving, hand-out

providing Democrat if you want to be. Th ats what this country is all about. Choices.You can also be a conservative, hard working, loyal,

wealthy Republican and not have to apologize for it.Free markets dictate that you can make as much

money as you can, if you off er a product or service that people are willing to purchase. To disparage someone for being rich is just silly. But to compare these courageous, loyal Market Basketers to a political idealism is just fl at out wrong.Th is isnt about politics, this is about hard working

people committed to the cause of a successful business continuing.

Shocking Images from IraqI was shocked and sickened over the weekend when

pictures that were taken by ISIS in Iraq appeared on Facebook. Th e pictures were almost too horrible to view but I thought it was necessary if I was to understand the seriousness of the situation there. Th e Islamic terrorists have chosen to spread the terror and fear by fi rst killing the children by beheading them and putting their heads on poles where all can see them. Christians have been told that they have 3 options: become a Muslim, pay a fi ne, or be executed. In reality, they have only two options; deny their Christian faith and become Muslim or be killed.Chaldean leaders in the U.S. have been trying to

educate the international community and urge them to take action to save the Christians and other minorities in northern Iraq by enabling them to escape the country and fi nd refuge in host countries. We should urge the President and other leaders in our country to take steps to do likewise. Th e situation has been described as genocide by these Chaldean leaders and when you read the details of what is being done, you certainly cannot disagree. Let us all pray for these people that

they might escape this attempt to wipe them from the face of the earth and pray for ourselves that we would have the strength and compassion to act on their behalf. God help us if we dont.

Fond Memories of the Neighborhood Store

Once upon a time there was a neighborhood store at the end of my street; a wonderful market that met the needs of the neighborhood and beyond. It was called Bills Market and was owned and operated by Bill Brown who also lived on this same street. I had always hoped that the market would still be in business when I was older and could no longer drive. Unfortunately that didnt happen. Th e building remains but no longer off ers my daily needs such as bread, milk, meats, canned goods, etc. Th e necessities of life.Th ere have been many proprietors since who

maintained the store providing the supplies we all need, and more. On Sunday mornings, I could walk to the store, pick up the Sunday papers, and most recently, buy fresh bakery items for expected guests, especially their wonderful lemon fi lled cupcakes just like the ones my mother made.My two children both worked there while in high

school. Bill taught my son how to play golf and cane chairs - lifetime skills. Th e chairs are still in my kitchen today. I, in fact, live in the house Bill once lived in a long time ago though I didnt know him well. A handicapped friend and neighbor tells me that many times she would fi nd a box of food on her doorstep that might otherwise perish. Th ere was a small post offi ce in the store for customer convenience along with a magazine rack displaying the magazines of the day. I well remember one particular day while browsing through the magazines and noticing the cover of a prominent one with the photo of Jack and Jacqueline Kennedy (Jack was a candidate for President). Th e caption on the photo was If he wins, how much will she lose? We all know the tragic ending of that story.Whenever I pass by the market now I am reminded

of so many things but especially Bill, his many good deeds and his concern for the Town of Salem and its people.

What is the De nition of Scandal?

In the Tea Party universe the defi nition of a scandal is any activity that they disagree with. Case in point the so called IRS scandal. As we all know the IRS is being accused of targeting the Tea Party. Th e truth of the situation is that the Tea Party invites increased scrutiny by its willful manipulation of the rules surrounding nonprofi t status.Th ey have successfully thrown out of offi ce by means

of primary voting dozens of traditional Republicans and they claim to be a non-partisan organization. It is the job of the IRS to investigate the tax exempt status of all non-profi t organizations. Th e Tea Party organization Americans for Prosperity is currently

pouring thousands of color brochure attack ads into New Hampshire. Non-profi t status explicitly prohibits candidate endorsement so AFP cannot endorse Scott Brown directly; the next best thing is attacking Senator Jeanne Shaheen with dubious ads that feature misinformation and distortion of facts. Certainly AFP is in violation of the spirit if not the letter of the law which prohibits some political activities that non-profi t organizations are allowed to engage in. Th e Republican Party insists on calling this a scandal, repeats the word scandal day after day, and week after week until the media begins using the S word.Eventually the word scandal becomes inseparable

from IRS and we are then asked why the President is not held accountable for the scandal. Th e real scandal is the manipulation and distortion of facts for the sole purpose of political advantage. Th ere is no political party better at this than the Republican Tea Party, working in conjunction with Fox News and a handpicked far right wing Supreme Court they have the ability to manufacture scandals almost at will.Th e actual subject of the AFP attack ads was the

Aff ordable Care Act.Senator Shaheen is working tirelessly in pursuit of

improving the Aff ordable Care Act while Republicans off er no solutions to a health care system that has been broken for decades. Lets not forget that prior to the Aff ordable Care Act 14,000 Americans per day were losing health insurance, coverage was denied for Americans with pre-existing conditions at the discretion of insurance companies and infl ation rates in premiums was out of control. Th e ACA will bring fairness, aff ordability and access to millions of Americans who have been denied health insurance. Th e last major change to our health care system was Medicare established in 1965 by a Democratic Administration. Over 50 million Americans have been insured through Medicare, allowing preventative screenings and prescription drug coverage for so many people who would not otherwise be able to aff ord medical care. Although the system is so successful, many Republicans have proposed to use it to decrease the defi cit, valuing dollar signs over the lives of so many. I will be supporting Senator Jeanne Shaheen, Congresswoman Ann Kuster, and Gov. Maggie Hassan outstanding public servants who are fi ghting for comprehensive health care for all Americans.

Church Community has been a Blessing

Some 30 years ago, I found that I needed an extended family. I had left the church that I had attended since childhood because I was no longer being fed there. Th e few relatives that I have live out of state so I started my search. I visited churches in Salem but somehow they werent what I was looking for. My youngest daughter had joined the Pleasant Street United Methodist Church and I went there each time her group had an activity. Th e more times I attended, the more friendly people I met. When I read the material on John Wesley (the founder), I was even more impressed. Now that I have been a member for some 30 years, I feel so blessed because I dont just go to church but I

can help bring the Church into the Community. Th e ministries are many, a food pantry, free Sunday suppers, helping people with addictions, etc. It is wonderful to belong to a group of people who care. Our newest venture is Th e Hope Center. A building to house the Food Pantry among other things and a blessing to the community. I want to say these things while I am still alive so that all my Church family will know what a blessing that they have been to me.

Musing over the Forgotten TowerWe live in a lovely old home in Salem, NH, that my

in-laws purchased 74 years ago. Th e home is located right next to a water tower.Many years ago, the original tower was knocked

down and a new one erected. It was very interesting to watch, and the new tower was further away from our house which is nice because it gives us more light.Several years ago, we learned at town meeting, that

it had been approved to allow telecommunication companies to put antennae on the tower. My husband and I both spoke in opposition to this, but it was too little, too late. Th e deed was done.Th e town manager, who at the time if I remember

correctly was Mr. Steve Daly, approached us and asked us to gather neighbors who might have concerns about this and he would meet with us to discuss the situation. We gathered as many people as we could in a short time and met with Mr. Daly at the tower. Th e group asked that the property be well maintained since it is in a well kept, residential neighborhood, and the families take pride in their homes and yards. We asked for a fence to be put up, landscaping to be done, and that the property be kept neat and clean and the condition of the tower maintained.Th e fence was installed, trees, shrubs, and fl owers

were planted. After the fi rst year, some of the trees and shrubs died. Some, but not all, were replanted. Th e fence slowly got broken and eventually was taken down and not replaced. Th en it seemed to be one company after another arrived to install their antennae. Over time, the hot top was destroyed, the heavy equipment damaged all the grass, and most of the fl owers were killed and not replaced, and nothing was done to keep up the condition of the tower.Th e town does come up here on occasion and mows

the lawn, but that is about the extent of what is done. Th e tower is fi lthy dirty, there are rust spots all over it, and it has not been painted forever.It is my understanding that the town is paid by

the companies so that they can install their antennae. Where is that money going? Should it not be used to maintain the property that is being destroyed?Th ere used to be something called Salem Pride.

What happened to it? I truly hope that the town takes the proper action and does what it originally said it would do.I have spoken with my neighbors and they all feel the

same way. Some of the original people have died and some have moved away; but those that are still here feel the same as I do.

OF GREATER SALEM

Foursome slots are available and reservations are being taken on a first come/first served basis

Until we called and complained, there were trucks running in and out of there every day, Stone said.Whats the benefi t to the

community and the neighborhood to approve the variance? he asked. He bought the property knowing it was residential.Stone noted Matthes had received

violations including one from the fi re department for burning construction debris. Attorney Bernard Campbell,

representing Matthes, said the previous owner parked commercial vehicles on the site, and that the lot had been improved. The site recently had the front

redone and was hydro seeded, he said, adding the back of the property had been cleared of trees. Campbell said the existing

house on the property will continue its use as a residential dwelling. He said the abutter to the rear, the Temple of

Witchcraft, sent an email saying they did not object to the variance.Town Planning Director Ross Moldoff said the

previous owner did not have a variance to operate a business from the property. Moldoff said he issued Matthes violations for storing equipment on the site and laying material too close to wetlands.Technically the site is still in violation,

Moldoff said, adding road sanders were on the property.

Moldoff mentioned two other landscaping businesses in town, which were granted variances, saying they were successful and grew from a small operation. He said the business in question could have a substantial impact on the neighborhood.You could also see it as a relatively high-

intensity use, he said about the business.Campbell said abutting property was zoned

commercial, meaning the zoning change would make little impact. He said 19-21 Brookdale operated a sandblasting company on the grounds and was zoned commercial. Campbell also mentioned a close proximity to the industrial park.Resident Lynda Murphy of 17 Brookdale Road

pleaded with board members to deny the variance request. Owner of a 0.17-acre property,

Murphy said granting the variance would be devastating to her home value and to her.I really, really love this little

house, she said about her 1,080 square foot home. Its kind of emotionally saved my life.If the variance was granted,

Murphy stood to be completely surrounded by commercial property.If the zoning board changes

this and I need to get out of there, I cant even do that, she said.Murphy told board members

screening was an issue, showing examples of new sight lines to the neighboring property.

All of my second-fl oor windows look right out on his property, she said. I am encircled.Acting Chairman Steven Diantgikis sought

input from the board regarding the request, which caused debate. He told members to review the fi ve criteria and assess if they felt the proposal should be approved. I think that the applicant has met several of

the criteria, but falls fl at on a couple, he said.Board member Robert Uttley was torn on the

matter, seconding a motion to deny the variance but later withdrawing. He met most of the criteria, Uttley said,

but noted noise complaints from neighbors and storage bins for raw materials.Arthur Nobrega opposed the project, saying

surrounding property values would be diminished and adding the area was primarily residential. A second motion was made to approve the

variance but failed 2-2 with Uttley and Alternate George Perry in favor.Chairman Gary Azarian and Secretary Bernie

Campbell stepped down during the hearing due to ties to the applicant.

Variance Denied- continued from front page

Raymond Matthes was denied a variance by the Salem Zoning Board to operate a commercial landscaping business on this property at 15 Brookdale Road.

The show featured plants from around the world. A carnivorous plant is a plant that lures, captures, and digests insect prey. Of the hundreds of carnivorous species found, several are native to New England. Carnivorous plants typically grow in nutrient-poor soils, as capturing insects is an adaptation to these environments. The Venus Flytrap is the most famous

carnivorous plant with oversized fl ytraps showing up in Hollywood features. The Venus fl ytrap, like many other carnivorous plants, has small hair-like structures that sense when an insect is in the trap. The plant will quickly close around the insect, trapping the prey.Other carnivorous plants at the Salem

show include the Heliamphora heterodoxa x ionasii, which is native to South America and the Darlingtonia California (California Pitcher Plant) from the west coast of the U.S. The Pitcher Plant is native to Northern California and Oregon, growing in bogs and seeps with cold running water. This plant is designated as uncommon due to its rarity in the fi eld.The NECPS will hold its annual

carnivorous plants show October 4-5 at the Roger Williams Park Botanical Center in Providence, R.I..The New England Carnivorous Plant Society holds meetings on the

second Saturday of every month at the Roger Williams Botanical Center. New members are always welcome. For more information, you can check their website: www.necps.org.

submitted by Northeast Rehabilitation HospitalNortheast Rehabilitation Hospital in Salem

was pleased to host a heartwarming ceremony that exemplified how a teens lifelong passion for bike riding along with his desire to help others made a difference in the life of a 12-year-old girl living with spina bifida/hydrocephalus.Drew Ginsberg, a 16 year old from Andover,

Mass., raised money to purchase an AmTryke adaptive tricycle and presented it to Destiny Bank, a 12-year-old girl from Haverhill, Mass. These unique, one-of-a-kind tricycles for disabled children and adults bring much desired mobility and independence to their lives.Drew, the grandson of Northeast Rehabs

founders Dr. Howard and Naomi Gardner, began fundraising for this cause four years ago as a part of the service project or Mitzvah required for his Bar Mitzvah. One of my favorite things to do is ride my bike. So when I heard about the AmTrykes, I wanted to do what I could to give children the opportunity to enjoy my favorite pastime. His initial efforts raised enough money for two tricycles. Rather than end his efforts after his service project, he decided to continue fundraising to bring riding to more disabled children through Drews Project. Destiny was added to a wait list for an AmTryke

donation back in 2011. Her patience paid off as she rode her tricycle for the first time; the excitement clear from the expression on her face. Her mom, Theresa, said that her daughter,

struggles to keep up with her peers and that it will be so nice to see her able to do what all the other kids are doing. That sentiment was echoed by Jenn Kelley,

director of Pediatrics at Northeast Rehab: As therapists we understand the importance of exercise in our young patients lives, but just as important is helping them find ways to be kids just having fun. If you would like to support the ongoing efforts

to bring AmTryke tricycles to children in need, please visit Drews website, Drews Project at http://like2tryke.com.

Bullying Prevention Trainingsubmitted by Maria Camerlengo, Boys & Girls Club of Greater SalemFor the second consecutive year, Belen

Godwin of Blueskies Wellness, Inc. facilitated a presentation on bullying prevention as part the semi-annual all staff training at the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Salem. Blueskies Wellness is a non-profit agency committed to ending school violence, specifically bullying, by providing a myriad of services to victims, families of victims, aggressors, school systems and youth-based organizations.The vision of Blueskies Wellness to assist

children in achieving academic excellence free from the barriers imposed by school violence- is in direct alignment with the Boys & Girls Club of Salems vision to have every member on track to graduate having a plan for the future while reaching their full potential as productive, caring and responsible citizens.Nationally, bullying affects more than 30

percent of our young people, either as the bully, the victim or both. Victimized youth are at an increased risk for depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, and academic issues while youth who bully others are at an increased risk for substance abuse, academic problems are more likely to become involved in criminal behavior. Bully-victims, however, suffer the most serious consequences and are at a greater risk for both

mental health and behavior problems.Bullying is a form of abuse. Its about youth

using power to control other kids, sometimes with the intention of causing harm. Being bullied is hurtful and humiliating. Its not an accident or joke; its a repetitive action that happens to a designated person or group over periods of time. Social networking and cell phones allow youth to be bullied 24/7, and their humiliation is often widespread, long-lasting and pervasive.For more than two decades Boys & Girls Clubs

have partnered with the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention to provide mentoring services that have had a significant impact on this serious issue. Peer and adult mentors can make a measurable difference in increasing academic success, fostering healthy lifestyles and promoting good character and citizenship. Blueskies Wellness provides additional high-quality and relevant training allowing the staff to indentify acts of bullying and to take the appropriate actions to intervene and resolve bullying issues immediately.For more information about Blueskies

Wellness contact Belen Godwin at www.blueskieswellnessinc.org. If you would like more information regarding the mentoring program at the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Salem contact Maria Camerlengo at mcamerlengo@salembgc.org.

Healthy Lunch and Snack Ideas for Back to School(BPT) - If schools and parents received report cards on the lunches

theyre serving kids, most wouldnt receive a passing score. Many lunches, whether served at school or brought from home, are made with bleached fl our, artifi cial sweeteners, food coloring, high-fructose corn syrup, artifi cial preservatives, hormones and trans fats. Studies have shown that these ingredients are linked to weight gain, defects in insulin and lipid metabolism, hyperactivity, increased risk of tumors, cancer, digestive issues, asthma, premature heart attacks, diabetes, and overexposure and resistance to antibiotics. Some of

these ingredients are even banned in other countries.As a parent, what can you do to keep your child healthy? Life

Time - The Healthy Way of Life Company, suggests checking in with your childs school to learn where foods are sourced, the nutritional values and ingredients in order to make informed decisions.The more highly processed foods are, the more likely they are to

contain the seven unsavory ingredients. Meaning they are foods its best to fi nd alternatives for, says Laura Burbank, a registered dieti-tian with the Life Time Foundation.We encourage parents to speak with school nutrition direc-

tors and cafeteria managers about reducing the amount of highly processed and artifi cial items served in their lunch rooms, in favor of wholesome, real foods, and were able to help parents throughout that process, Burbank says.Until changes are made, Burbank advises actively engaging kids

- starting when theyre young - in packing lunch at home. Getting kids involved in packing their lunches makes them more likely to eat and enjoy them, says Burbank. They feel helpful and theyre learning along the way. She says its important to include a protein, whole grains, fresh fruit, vegetables and healthy fats with every meal, and provides some ideas below.

Lunch box option one: * Lunch: turkey or ham sandwich with avocado and spinach on

whole grain bread. Look for meat that is free of hormones, antibiot-ics, nitrates, artifi cial preservatives and other additives.* Snack: orange slices and string cheese.

Lunch box option two: * Lunch: grilled chicken breast, avocado and roasted bell pepper

or shredded carrots in a whole grain pita with a Greek yogurt based dressing or pesto.

* Snack: apple slices and almond butter. If your childs school has a strict nut-free lunchroom guideline, include Greek yogurt with vanilla and/or honey.Lunch box option three: * Lunch: a wholesome PB&J made with almond

butter and 100 percent fruit preserves on whole grain bread.* Snack: hard boiled eggs, cherry tomatoes,

cucumbers with Greek yogurt based vegetable dipping sauce, or pita chips and peppers with hummus.Healthier lunch room choicesBurbank notes that sometimes making lunch

at home isnt a viable option. If thats the case, she suggests parents discuss healthy lunch room options with their kids, as studies have shown that in addition to nutritional benefi ts, healthier diets also associate with higher academic performance. Things to consider include:* Choose a salad when available to include

more vegetables in the meal.* Choose white milk over chocolate milk to cut

down on sugar intake.* Choose 1 percent milk over skim or non-fat

milk, the higher fat content is more satiating.* Choose whole grain pasta over bread which

may contain bleached fl our and preservatives.* Choose red pasta sauce (vegetable-based) over

cream sauce (high in fat). Choose fresh fruit over canned fruit which may

contain artifi cial colors, preservatives and sweeten-ers.

Parents should also be encouraged to talk to the nutri-tion directors and cafeteria managers about reducing the amount of highly processed and artifi cial items in the school meals. The Life Time Foundation is a great resource for more information on this.The Life Time Foundation

partners with schools to help them remove highly processed and artifi cial ingredients from school meals by providing resources and assisting with menu development. For more information on how your school can get involved, visit www.ltffoundation.org.

Thumbs up to all the motorists who follow the State of NH Move Over Law, by moving over and if you cannot then slow down for stopped emergency vehicles.

Thumbs down to the irresponsible dog owners that treat the athletic fi eld behind Walmart as their personal dog park. There are signs posted at the entrance that clearly state dogs are not allowed within the fenced area. If youre going to disobey the town ordinance prohibiting pets from the fi eld, as well as the leash law, you could at least pick up after your dog does its business so the 8 year olds who are there for a practice or a game dont have to step in it!

Thumbs up. Big thumbs up to the George Williams Band for playing for the 75 plus people who showed for the concert at Field of Dreams. The event was suppose to be cancelled due to weather, and once the guys in the band found out how many people were there, the sun shining, they put together a great acoustic show for all of us. Kudos to the band members who were there for the townspeople and put it together at last minute.

Thumbs down to Marilinda Garcia. You are not mature enough to send to Washington. You still live your parents. Marilinda, when you have a mortgage, pay property taxes, electric and oil and other house hold expenses maybe you would see peoples struggles. Marilinda, you dont really have any ties to NH except for your parents, so I dont think you have NH best interest.

Thumbs down to the U.S. government. The U.S. is funding the murder of women and children by Israeli war criminals. I am embarrassed and ashamed of the U.S. government. Supporting Israels murder of innocents is vile, and corrupt.

Thumbs up/Thumbs down. Thumbs up to immigrants of Asian descent, they came to this country to work, send their children to school and live in country as civilized citizens. Thumbs down to people who have been in this country for over 400 years. All they ever do is complain, have children by the truckload and blame others for their problems. And by the way, I love children. Children should be protected. I am the fi rst person to take my wallet to protect them.

Thumbs down to the person who tried to portray Mr. Klessens and Mr. Mosto as jobless, lazy losers. You couldnt be more wrong. They are both extremely successful and intelligent

hard-working men who have compassion for people who have less than them. Thats what is wrong with the Republican Party. If you dont agree with them, youre a total loser who is on welfare. So wrong. Be careful not to trip over your bible while waving your American fl ag.

Thumbs down to the New Hampshire Republican Party. Between importing the illegal carpetbagger representing the Koches and the church lady representing the Puritan agenda on Rockingham Park, the GOP intends to send tools to Washington to represent everything but what is good for New Hampshire citizens.

Thumbs down to the town of Salem NH Planning Board. I dont know what construction project is going on but the construction dump trucks are going though residential areas too early in the morning starting before 6 a.m. Give me a break; I am not on that schedule. Have the Building Inspector talk to them.

Thumbs up to deacons promoting pro-life, anti-casino, pro-heterosexual marriage, etc., candidates. However, in spite of whom/what

anyone tries to promote, money and corruption (evil) puppeteer everything in this world. Therefore its imperative parishioners are preached/taught the bible and beliefs of the Church, even if its scary at times. Are Catholics aware theyre not supposed to join freemason lodges? Dont waste time pacifying with fl uff stuff. We must bring others into the faith with biblical truth, not music. Pray the Saint Michael Prayer again at Mass, for Lucifer is deeply rooted within the world and hes seeped into the Catholic Church.

Thumbs up for everyone who cares enough about our country to show up and vote for the most conservative candidates in the Primary Election on September 9th, and thumbs up for everyone who spends a little time learning about the history of our country, and votes for the candidates who will help us to restore the USA to our founding principles. Thumbs down for anyone who has not yet fi gured out that our current leaders.

Thumbs up to Gary Lambert running against Marilinda Garcia. It is refreshing to fi nd a real politician who will help Salem and New Hampshire. Enough with Marilinda the pretender.

Thumbs up/Thumbs down. Market Basket employees have no idea of how this boycotting hurt thousands of people. Customers, farmers, meat, chicken, park, etc., suppliers, plant-floral suppliers, and the businesses that are in these plazas! Profits went way down for surrounding business because those customers couldnt park; go into another business without being

approached, loud noises all heard of horns, screaming. This was a huge disruption to others. Hope you all sue M.B.! Really, you have a case!

Thumbs up/Thumbs down to all those people who are still shopping at Market Basket after a lot of people have gotten their hours taken away from them /aka (laid off) and who have been there working for many years because Arthur S. does not care about people who have built up his pocket of millions. Also thumbs down to both MA and NH politicians this is hurting your state by refusing to be

involved or to sit down and have a beer to put this supermarket dictator in his place. I am unemployed too, but will not shop here! Whats your excuse?

Thumbs down to T-Bones for having the Marilinda Garcia signs on their property. Garcia betrayed the people of Salem. Please join my boycott of T-Bones!

Thumbs down to Arthur S. for all the damage he has

inflicted on a wonderful grocery store chain. My prayers every day now include one for the survival of Market Basket! Who would ever have thought youd be praying for a grocery store!

by S. Aaron ShamshoyanSmall businesses are a big

deal in New Hampshire, and two area companies were recognized for their achievement in entering the global economy.U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen

(D-NH) presented Corfi n Industries LLC of Salem and W.S. Badger Company Inc. of Gilsum with United States Department of Commerce, Global Marketing, U.S. Service Export Achievement certifi cates for their success exporting products across the globe.Small businesses are really

the backbone of this economy, Shaheen said, adding she was glad to see small businesses going international. Stephanie Logan,

international business manager of W.S. Badger, said State Trade and Export Promotion grants helped the company with its international sales efforts, along with international seminars. Our staff

has benefi tted greatly from attending several trade export seminars, Logan said. We have really limited staffi ng, but we dont have limited resources.Don Tyler,

managing director of Corfi n Industries, said

international sales have been a success. Just this year alone we have representatives

added in Spain, Israel, and France, he said. But a lot of education was needed to get Corfi n

to a global scale. Tyler said in 2006, international business seemed like an overwhelming task, but said educational seminars and STEP grants provided the opportunities.

Corfi n Industries employs a hot solder dip process to prevent tin whiskers and gold embrittlement on sensitive electronics.W.S. Badger Company is a family-owned

business that manufactures certifi ed organic skin care products.

Local Companies Recognized with US Export Awards for their Global Success

by Bob GibbsWith the upcoming primary coming up on Tuesday, September 9, all of the candidates are

out looking for votes. The primary provides each voter with a lot of power, as the most options for candidates are available. With most of the office holders up for re-election, the statewide campaigns are very busy this time out.Recently the Salem Republican Committee invited the Republican candidates for state

representative to come and speak to the members and the public. Of the candidates running for the state representative office, 11 came to the meeting.The candidates who spoke were incumbent Gary Azarian, Arthur Barnes, incumbent Ron

Belanger, Bob Elliott, Mike Flathers, incumbent John Manning, Mike Petrilli, incumbent Anne Priestly, Martha Spalding, incumbent John Sytek, and Robert Uttley.All of the candidates gave many reasons for their candidacy. Most spoke of expanded gaming

in New Hampshire, keeping New Hampshire a no sales tax and no income tax state, and breaking gridlock in Concord and Washington. All spoke of supporting U.S. veterans.The Salem Republican Committee will hold its Labor Day picnic on Monday, September 1 from 3

to 5 p.m. at the Derry-Salem Elks Lodge. Many of the Republican candidates national, state, county, and local offices will be in attendance. The Democrats are strongly backing their incumbent office holders. Many of the candidates from all

parties are traveling the state and every corner of New Hampshire to secure those last few votes that get them into office.

As has been shown before in the Town of Salem, a large informed voter turnout does make a difference in the outcome of elections. There is still time to get educated on the many issues and learn more about the candidates vying for office.
