From Napoli, Italy to Salem, NHHow Italian Food Should Be!!

From Napoli, Italy to Salem, NHHow Italian Food Should Be!!

by Robyn HatchThe Salem Historical Society

recently presented a seminar entitled “Granite State Sacrifice, American Civil War 1861-1865” given by David Closs.

Merrimack author David Closs is on a quest to honor the valor of some 38,950 Granite State military men who fought for the Union and to pay tribute to the 2,036 men from New Hampshire killed during the Civil War.

Closs, who served as a Nashua police officer for 24 years, was born in Pearl Harbor, HI, to a Marine Corps family. He lived as a child on numerous military bases and credits his knowledge of the values of the armed forces for fostering the esteem he holds for today’s servicemen and women - and those of yesteryear.

Closs, as an avid historian, penned a book that investigates New Hampshire contributions to the Civil War. His book actually chronicles incidents from the lives of 37 Civil War soldiers. His book was intensely researched and is titled, Willing Sacrifice: Granite State Valor during the American Civil War 186-1865. This book is an easy-to-read compilation of wartime tales about

individual New Hampshire soldiers.

Closs is upset that the sacrifices made by New Hampshire residents during the Civil War are not recognized to a great extent in many communities. He also notes there were 18 regiments from the Granite State that deployed to states where fierce battles took place. Infantry, cavalry, and artillery personnel did their duty. This year marks the 150th anniversary of the beginning of the American Civil War.

Not long ago, Closs had contacted the office of Governor John Lynch to voice his dismay that the state’s heroes were going largely unrecognized. It was referred to a member of the state Legislature to see if any legislation was in the making that would offer recognition of the 150th anniversary of the war and this quest continues.

While it has also been stated by Closs that while New Hampshire was spared the bloody battles that erupted elsewhere, few towns were untouched by the Civil War. In many places, recruiters would visit and quickly grab the men for service. This absence meant only that women and children were left to do farming, mill

the wheat and tend to all the other manly duties so suddenly abandoned.

The Civil War began with

gunfire at Fort Sumter and the war came to an end in 1865. The youngest New Hampshire

held a car show recently. Cars spanned from the very old, to a 2010 Camaro from Methuen, MA. This was a time for discussing, sharing ideas, and just looking at each other’s cars. The parking was quickly full with more vehicles showing up for viewing. Snacks were sold at the shed on the hill to raise money for the Elks Lodge. With this much talking going on, many trades, and sales were present. This show is very popular in Salem, and spectators and enthusiasts alike attend the event with huge wish lists.

Upbeat, Foot Tapping Music by The Paulies at the Field of Dreams

by Robyn HatchSalem’s Field of Dreams again filled the night with enjoyable

music by the band “The Paulies” from Bedford. This is an award-winning band that has played all over Europe, Ireland, and the United States. With four band members (Liam Spain, Paul Battaglia, Chris Howe and Brian Richards) the music was very upbeat and well known to the audience members.

Also, sitting in the audience was a beautiful lady who has recently received a medal from Bedford as the oldest member of their town. Anna Richards (97) is the grandmother of Brian Richards.

Everyone enjoyed this concert. Even Anna could be seen tapping her feet and clapping in time to the music!

Historian Speaks on

Katherine (Kay) Phair will celebrate her 100th birthday on Thursday, August 25, in the presence of her family and friends. Kay, better known as “meme” has lived at her Danville home with her daughter Patricia Ball for a little over 10 years. Mrs. Phair, who still loves to do crosswords, take an occasional trip to Foxwoods and almost daily ones to Salisbury Beach in the summer, has remained active all her life. She bowled well into her 80s and to this day is an avid Red Sox fan. She still prizes the picture of herself sitting on Carl Yastrzemski’s lap at a reunion of 1967 Red Sox players that she attended several years ago and has her Pedro Martinez shirt wrapped around her at home when she watches the games.

Born and raised Methuen, MA, Kay later moved to Lawrence, MA some 70-plus years ago when she married her husband Frank who has since passed away. Together they had seven children including Alan Phair, Co-Chairman of the Annual Salem Christmas Fund and formerly of Salem, and 26 grandchildren, some of whom live in Salem, 46 great-grandchildren,

and seven great-great-grandchildren. She is hoping that she will be a great-great-great-grandmother soon and be one of very few people to live to see six generations of her

family. She also was a “mom” to countless others that she helped raise at her Lawrence home on Prospect Hill.

Silverthorne Adult Day Center Celebrating 20th Anniversary

Congressman Charles F. Bass (NH-02) has announced that he will host a series of constituent office hours over the next

month in Colebrook, Salem, Concord, and Nashua to meet with individuals one-on-one.

Salem’s constituent office hours are scheduled for Thursday, September 1 from 1 to 3 p.m.

Constituents seeking a 10-minute meeting with Congressman Bass on a federal issue should call his Concord Office at 226-0064 to make an appointment. Appointments will be reserved on a first come, first-served basis.

“I strongly believe that constituents should have direct access to their elected representatives, and that’s why I have been spending my time in New Hampshire meeting with individuals, business owners, seniors, and local officials. In an effort to

give constituents an opportunity to speak with me one-on-one about any federal issue, I will be hosting a number of open office hours throughout the Second District. I encourage constituents to contact my Concord Office to make an appointment,” Bass said.

Bass’ staff also conducts regular public office hours at communities throughout the Second District. For more information about upcoming public office hours, visit http://bass.house.gov.

Bass to Hold One-On-One Constituent Office Hours in Salem

In Response to Bass’s Recent “Thumbs Up”

I am writing in response to a “Thumbs up” given to Congressman Charlie Bass for standing up to the Tea Party and doing what is right for New Hampshire. Are you kidding me? This should have been a resounding “Thumbs Down.” The vote showed that Congressman Bass is nothing more than a go-along politician doing what the party leadership in Washington asked. How is this good for New Hampshire? Are you pleased that over $2 trillion was added to our debt? How are our children, grandchildren, and possibly great grandchildren going to pay for it? How can anybody in their right mind give this incompetent President and his administration this kind of money with no present day budget cuts? In my mind, for a “Thumbs up” Congressman Bass should have gone alone with the Republicans who said “no.” He should have “manned up” and said that he was part of the problem in increasing spending during the Bush Administration and it was wrong. He then should have called for the termination of all federal employees hired since President Obama took office (except veterans) by December 31, 2011. Then called to reduce the federal government staffing level to a pre-2006 level. That would have given him a “Thumbs up.”

I am very thankful for the “Tea Party” and hope the movement grows in New Hampshire so we can get real conservatives in office and not repackaged politicians.

Patrick Bick – Salem

Who is Looking Out For Us?

Like a mystery story that keeps one on the edge of his seat, the weeks leading up to the debt ceiling deadline were nail biters- with the two parties reluctant to infringe on any part of their political values. As the plot progressed, we saw Tea Partiers in conflict with the House leadership, but the main differences lay with the two parties, each entrenched in its political mode and reluctant to give an inch. We heard cries that government is broken, that taxing the jet set would kill jobs, that the problem was spending and not revenue. Well, as expected, like the last minute resolution in a mystery story, a default was averted in the waning hours of the August 2 deadline; and for a while we can breathe more easily. Meanwhile, several factors should be noted.

Clearly, the right, under any circumstance, declined to close tax loopholes, end subsidies, special tax breaks for the rich, while the left was just as adamant about taking from the middle class. Is there any question as to which party is looking out for the people and which is concerned for the barons of wealth? Notably, the people have no lobbyists in Washington while money rules the roost for the uber wealthy.

Worthy of note is another important fact, which is, that cuts on peoples’ interests will bear more negatively on the economy because monies to the people are immediately

spent with salutary effects on the economy. As for raising revenue, in the past we have seen no negative results as when Reagan and Clinton raised taxes.

Putting all differences aside, and regardless of comments made about members of Congress or the President (and negative comments have been infinite) the system, while tentative for a time, worked out. This is a Democracy and sometimes the process is like making sausage. But what is the alternative? A dictator could define the problems in one fell swoop and make fast decisions, but then that would not be America, in which representatives of the people fight it out and usually get results that will not be detrimental to the right or the left. The values of each are important to the balance of our Republic and the good of the people.

Dante Ippolito - Norwell, MA

Vacuum of LeadershipTruly we have a problem in this country! Webster

says, the word vacuum means “A space relatively empty of matter.” The actions in Washington, DC by the President and Congress seem to fit that description when it comes to the affairs of America. There is more than enough blame to go around. We have seen Congress diddle around for months before taking action on the debt increase approval. Shaming all of the citizens of America by their bitter fights leading to a large debt increase and a downgrading of our rating from AAA to AA plus.

President Obama was eager to sign and increase even more borrowing on the fragile American economy so he could get to his next Democratic political fundraiser (#31) and vacation to Martha’s Vineyard. This President is a tax and spender of the first order. He is lost and adrift not knowing how to create jobs. Some of his best supporters urge him to step into role of leadership, however, his liberal progressive ego stands in the way. This vacuum of leadership apparently is just normal for him. He believes if you use enough government stimulus monies and giveaways you create jobs for unions. We must realize we the taxpayers are paying for this in more big government debt.

While vacationing and fundraising at taxpayers’ expense, he turns down American business oil drilling requests in America (energy independence), because he

likes very expensive elites electric cars. Then turns around and gives the country of Brazil a $2 billion grant for them to explore for oil off shore benefiting Brazil. This extreme progressive leadership by the President is leading all of us to a debt ridden Socialist country, may God save this American Republic before it is too late!

Wednesdays, Now through August 31Wednesday worship services have returned at the First Congregational Church and are offered through August

The service begins at 7 p.m. A video series will be offered for children during the service.

All are invited for Wednesday family worship in Fellowship Hall at the First Congregational Church, United Church of Christ, located at 15 Lawrence Road, Salem. The church is wheelchair-accessible.

by Belinda SinclairWe have all seen them. You know, the dogs that lie under the

table waiting for any morsel of food to fall, or worse yet, to be handed to them. Then there are the dogs that nudge you with their nose repeatedly as you are sitting down in front of the TV to snack. I get the “head press” on my lap by my two pushy border collies, Bonnie and Duncan, while I am trying to eat something if I don’t keep them in check. Begging for food is in a dog’s nature. It is not wrong, it is just rude. Most people will feed their dog from the table or offer a piece of their snack to their canine “best friend” if the dog wants some, and when has a dog not wanted something you are eating?

My canine table shark started when my daughters Kaytlin and Nichole were still toddlers. Cleaning up behind them at meal times took just as long as making their food. There always seemed to be more food on the floor than in their mouths. My solution to combat this three times a day annoying problem was to allow my dog to “clean up” after the girls. I solved one problem and I made another one with fur. At mealtime I would put our rough collie Sheena in a down-stay about six feet away from the table. You could see the intensity in her eyes as she knew she had a job to do and she was committed to doing it well. Her job was to wait until I removed the girls from the table and then she could go in for the big clean up. It was helpful at the time but Sheena didn’t always follow the rules. Dogs are opportunists and Sheena was no exception!

Many dog owners have indulged in giving their dogs people food. I have worked with many owners who cook entire meals for their dogs. Anything from roasted free-range chickens with cloves of garlic mixed with steamed brown rice, to complete pot roast dinners slow cooked in the crock-pot. By the way, none of this food was first eaten by the owners and then given to the dog; it was cooked solely for the dog! I am not saying that this is bad, but are you willing to live with it for the rest of your dog’s life?

If you have created a dog that could make the artful dodger from Oliver Twist seem slow and clumsy, then read on. As owners we created this problem, so now we must take ownership of it and change our habits so that we can change our dog’s behavior.1. There are two schools of thought about where your dog should

be while you are eating. Most people want their dogs as far away from the dinner table as possible while eating. If your dog is obedience trained, then put your dog in a down-stay somewhere near by. If your dog breaks the command, go and place your dog back in the down-stay until you can get through an entire meal without having to ask more then once. Be patient with your dog, as this could take weeks to months to perfect. The other idea is similar, except that you have the dog close to the table in the

down stay. If you would like to eat at a café with outdoor seating and want to bring your dog along, this is training your dog for that kind of European lifestyle.

2. Get the whole family to commit to not feeding your dog people food. If someone is holding out and still feeding the dog people food, you have a long road ahead of you. This also includes leftovers from your plate scraped into the dog’s bowl. It doesn’t take long for the dog to follow it back to where it came from and start begging for it before it gets to his bowl. After all, in your dog’s mind it is his anyway. Transferring to his bowl doesn’t make it any less of a problem.

3. Keep your dog on a regular feeding schedule and make sure that you are feeding your dog an adequate diet. Not all dog foods are created equal. Dog foods vary widely on what is in them. I prefer to feed my dogs a “corn, wheat and soy free diet” and now you can find many different companies out there producing these top quality dog foods. It may cost a little more but dogs on a premium dog food will have fewer vet visits from things like yeast infections to a wide host of skin conditions.

4. Change where you feed your dog. If you eat in the kitchen, then move your dog’s food to a different room. If you eat in the dining room then make that room off limits to your dog 100 percent of the time.

5. If all else fails, remember that you created this little begging monster, so you have to live with it. Sheena is no longer with us, but she was a great dog who helped me raise my children. Bonnie and Duncan are pleasant dogs when we are eating meals. We eat dinner together every night as a family and it wouldn’t be a family dinner without the entire family present and that includes out four legged family members!

Can I Please Have Some More?

by Andrea Ganley-DannewitzA man and woman from Massachusetts

were arrested Friday, August 12 at the La Quinta hotel in Salem after police received a tip from authorities from Sharon, MA.

The couple, identified as Andrew Busa, 26, of Canton, MA, and Hannah Boraks, 22, of Sharon, MA, were found after a methodical search of the area. The search was lead by Salem Detective Michael Bernard.

According to Deputy Police Chief Shawn Patten, detectives began looking around local hotels after receiving the information from the Sharon Police Department. After conducting the surveillance the vehicle the couple had been using was in fact located at the La Quinta.

While detectives were in the area the suspects exited the hotel and left in their vehicle. That is when officers from Salem police pulled the vehicle over and arrested both suspects on a fugitive from justice warrant out of Massachusetts. Detectives obtained search warrants for the vehicle and the room that Busa and Boraks had been staying in.

When officers and detectives from Salem searched the room and the vehicle they located thousands of dollars worth of items believed to be stolen including cash, jewelry, watches, silver sets, prescription medication, iPods, cellular phones, cameras and numerous other electronic items. Also recovered were heroin and drug paraphernalia.

Deputy Chief Patten says these suspects are also connected to several burglaries in Salem

as well as in the Sharon area.“The case does remain active and several police agencies are

working together to sort through the stolen merchandise and determine who the items belong to. Both of these suspects were held without bail pending hearings at Salem District Court,” Patten said.

Busa is charged as a fugitive from justice and also with possession of heroin and receiving stolen property. Boraks is also charged as a fugitive from justice and burglary, receiving stolen property and possession of heroin.

soldier who served was 15 years old and the youngest was killed at 16.

The American Civil War soldiers were buried in many New Hampshire cemeteries. Thirty-three Granite State soldiers won the Congressional Medal of Honor. The first soldier killed in the Civil War was from New Hampshire. Nathaniel C. Barker, a

Merrimack resident and a soldier with the 11th New Hampshire , is buried in Last Rest Cemetery, at 7 Hillside Terrace in Merrimack.

Closs is one who has documented the contributions of New Hampshire soldiers at Fredericksburg and Gettysburg and dozen of other battlegrounds, and his quest is far from completed. There are so many from New Hampshire who fought so valiantly during the American Civil War, and they deserve to be acknowledged.

Attendees of Closs’s seminar got to reflect on the importance of the Civil War. His lecture was incredible and well worth the time spent listening to him.

by Robyn HatchThe Kelley Library presented One World, Many

Stories, Games Around The World. This session wrapped up the whole series for children in grades one though five featuring games from many countries that have been studied in previous weeks. The children learned and played games from China, Africa, Liberia, Ghana and the United States. Corrie Chicklas from the Kelley Library took the children through the different stories and dances from other countries. Although the kids got lost in many cases right off the bat, this event still tired everyone out and filled them with laughter and giggles. This was a great way to get everyone tired and full of excitement from all the unusual dancing.

World Dances Wrap up Summer Session

The HAVE IT YOUR WAY® Foundation today announced it has awarded over $1.4 million in scholarships to a total of 1,258 deserving students nationwide as part of the eleventh annual BURGER KING® Scholars Program. Among the winners, 14 students from New Hampshire, including Salem High School graduate Gina Righini, received scholarship awards of $1,000 in recognition of their outstanding academic achievement, along with other academic and community involvement criteria.

Created in memory of BURGER KING® co-founder, James W. McLamore, the BURGER KING® Scholars Program has awarded a total of 15,070 scholarships, representing $15.4 million in awards since the program’s

inception in 2000.

“In today’s economy, it’s too easy for dreams to be deferred. The BURGER KING® Scholars Program helps to ensure that committed and accomplished students can achieve their dreams. “This year, we have enriched the program by not only giving away a record number of scholarships, but by adding three $50,000

awards and one $25,000 award,” said Ivette Diaz, executive director of the HAVE IT YOUR WAY® Foundation.

This year, 1,249 students were awarded $1,000 scholarships, and five students won $5,000 regional scholarships. Also this year, for the first time ever, four major awards were given,

including three $50,000 awards and one $25,000 award.

This year’s changes attest to the BURGER KING® Scholars Program’s growing popularity, as well as the large number of deserving students in need of financial help. The field of 31,000 applicants represents a significant increase in the number of applications over last year, when only 3,200 students applied.

Scholarship awards help students offset the cost of attending college or a post-secondary vocational/technical school. Students throughout the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada are eligible for the scholarships. Recipients are selected based on their grade point average, work experience, extracurricular

activities and community service. Both BURGER KING® employees and non-employees are eligible to apply.

Scholarship funds come directly from the HAVE IT YOUR WAY® Foundation and are made possible thanks to company and franchise-owned BURGER KING® restaurants throughout the country that host a variety of fundraising activities in order to generate funds for scholarships each year. For more information on

the program, including instructions for obtaining scholarship applications for 2012, visit www.haveityourwayfoundation.org.

Top 10 Easily Overlooked Back-To-School Essentials

Pens, pencils, erasers, paper - these are the school supplies students need year after year and are on almost every parent’s back-to-school shop-ping list. However, that doesn’t mean they’re the only supplies students need to survive the school year with ease. Instead of waiting until your stu-dent realizes what he’s missing once it’s too late, shop now for these easily overlooked back-to-school essentials.

“Most students have that ‘oh no’ moment once they’re under a deadline and realize they don’t have the right materials to complete it or when they’re already stuck in a difficult situation,” says Rebecca Smith of Master Lock. “Using past ex-perience to think ahead and shop early will help students - and parents - avoid those dreaded mo-ments and navigate the school year a bit easier.”

1. Pencil sharpener. You’ve got the pencils, but sharpening them can be a real hassle as not all classrooms have a functioning built-in sharpener. To help students avoid trips to and from their desk during important tests, purchase a small pencil sharpener with a built-in shaving collection sys-tem that can be stored in a backpack pocket.

2. Portable stapler. Students are often in need of a quick staple, yet a stapler is nowhere to be found. A small, portable stapler can be a major timesaver for students who are frequently required to turn in multiple-page assignments.

3. Umbrella. Whether walking to class on a college campus or home from middle school, um-brellas are an easily overlooked school essential that pay dividends in student comfort. A collaps-ible model that fits in your student’s backpack or book bag will be easiest to carry whenever the weather looks questionable.

4. Correction fluid or tape. For last-minute, on-the-go fixes to important school assignments, a bottle of white correction tape or a correction pen is a must when re-printing or re-doing isn’t an option.

5. USB flash drive. Since so many school projects are now completed on computers, a USB drive makes it easy to save files and work on them anywhere. Whether your student is working on a paper at home, or on a group presentation at a friend’s house, files will be easily accessible.

6. Stain remover pen. From lunch spills, to grass stains to stray pen marks, students appreciate being able to touch up messy spots that wind up on their clothing throughout the day. Where water doesn’t always work, portable stain remover pens work well on hard-to-remove spots.

7. Security products. School supplies become useless if they’re stolen from your student. To help avoid theft, invest in at least four types of security products: a padlock for students’ school or gym lockers such as Master Lock’s Speed Dial combination lock, a back-pack lock to deter pickpockets, a portable mini-safe that can help keep valuables safe in a dorm room or in transit and a lock to attach to your laptop or desktop computer.

8. Three-hole punch. From organizing class notes and handouts in a three-ring binder for easy review, to binding pre-sentations before turning them in, students find endless uses for a three-hole punch after investing in one.

9. Mints or brush strips. Since many schools do not allow gum in classrooms, mints or brush strips are great options for students to carry with them for use after a potent lunch.

10. Water bottle. If your school allows it, help your student stay hydrated by provid-ing them with a portable water bottle that can hang from a backpack via a simple carabi-neer. A hydrated student equals a happier and more productive

student. Water bottles are particularly handy if the school is older and not equipped with air condi-tioning.

Creative and Affordable Ways to Personalize School Supplies

It’s time to trade in the sunglasses, swimwear and flip-flops for book bags, crayons and calculators.

The hustle and bustle of the back-to-school season means shopping for all the new clothes, electronics, books and supplies needed to start the school year off right. Back-to-school shopping can be difficult for students looking to express themselves and for parents who face the increasing expense of education.

Book bags, pencils and pens - even calculators and rulers provide a palette for creative expres-sion. A new and inexpensive way to add flair and creativity to ordinary book covers, plain notebooks and dull folders is to use Duck Tape brand duct tape Sheets. The sheets are available in a variety of colors including blue, white, red, silver, black, green, purple and yellow. For students who really want to stand out, sheets also come in prints, such as zebra, leopard, camouflage and tie-dye.

Here are ways to add a touch of personalization to school supplies and other belongings using duct tape or other household crafting tools:

* Jazz up notebooks and folders with different colors or prints for each class to make them quick and easy to find when grabbing supplies from your book bag or locker.

* Personalize a pencil case, lunch box or book bag with your name so they don’t get lost in the shuffle.

* Make a duct tape wallet or purse and tuck your lunch money in a safe place.

* Use stencils to trace letters and add the name of each class or subject to make finding the correct book easy.

* Create fun artwork out of duct tape shapes and designs to decorate the insides of lockers.

* Accent personal belongings, such as cell

phone cases, cloth-ing and more.

* Make and deco-rate picture frames for lockers to hang pictures of favorite school memories.

The school bells of a new school year also mean it’s time for fall sporting events. Students can be the biggest fan in the stands at pep rallies and games. They can show their school spirit by making pennants, flags, megaphones and even T-shirts. Visit DuckBrand.com for crafting instruc-tions using Duck Tape Sheets.

Heading back to school gives students, from elementary to high school, the opportunity to develop and show off their own style and per-sonality with a unique twist on traditional school supplies.

Tips For Furnishing Your College HabitatHeading to college this fall? Whether

it’s your first year or fourth, you’re sure to learn some things about college life that you wish you’d known before walking on campus. Here’s one of those secrets: College habitats are almost universally small, and how you furnish yours will have a big impact on how well you enjoy and perform in college.

Dorm rooms are notoriously snug spaces. Even if you live off-campus in an apartment, you’ll likely be sharing it with multiple roommates, which can make the space feel small. You’ll want furnishings that fit your space, maximize efficiency

and that can hold up to the rigors of col-lege living.

As you’re getting ready to furnish your college habitat, keep these pointers in mind:

Size countsBecause your personal space is likely

to be very limited, it’s important to keep furnishings to scale. Dorm rooms usually already have a bed that fits appropriately into the space. In an apartment, a smaller bed will almost certainly fit better in any bedroom, especially if you’re sharing your bedroom with a roommate. Twin is in

when it comes to right-sizing your bed for college living. Your college habitat will also likely include a desk. In reality, you

probably won’t do much studying there, so your desk can be a great place for your flat screen TV. Be sure to secure it with a mount. Prod-ucts like Sanus’ Full-Motion Desk Mount make it easy to desk-mount flat screens or computer monitors up to 30 inches, without the need for any installation tools. Or you can opt for a mount kit. Sanus offers one that attaches to furniture such as a desk or dresser, to provide a more finished look. Both options are ideal when mounting your TV on the wall isn’t possible.

If you live in a dorm, you’ll probably sit on the bed most often. But for those times when you’re having guests, a folding chair or two comes in handy. You can store them under your bed and then bring them out only when needed.

Storage strategiesWhen was the last time you saw a dorm room with a walk-in

closet? If you’re living on campus, you’ll be lucky if your digs have any closet at all. Lack of closet space is also a perennial problem for

apartment dwellers. If you are fortunate enough to have a closet, be sure to use it; clothes stored on hangers take up far less room than those wad-ded up on the floor or crammed into a drawer.

Most likely, however, your college living space will require smart storage strategies. Under-bed

storage can be a lifesaver in college habitats. You can squeak out some extra space by using risers that lift your bed a few more inches off the floor, inches that can be turned into more storage space. Just be sure to use devices designed to safely raise the bed, rather than doing it yourself with a few phone books.

Increasing efficiencyLimited space also means that whatever you

put in it needs to function efficiently. Items that have multiple uses, such as an alarm clock that doubles as an iPod charger, save space by doing jobs that would otherwise require several things to accomplish. You can find floor lamps that feature attached shelving, laundry bags that double as a backpack, and electric brooms that sweep your dorm room and your car efficiently.

Efficiency and safety go hand in hand. Often, the devices you’ll need to make college life easier and more enjoyable, like a PC, alarm clock, TV and stereo, come with a lot of cords that can be a trip hazard. Cable Tunnels are a great way to keep cords out of the way and keep rooms looking tidy. Easy to install, you can use the tunnels to conceal cords. And they can be painted to match your wall color.

Furnishing your college habitat will require planning and possibly some downsizing, but ensuring that everything in your environment fits properly and works efficiently will help make col-lege life a little bit easier.

“Thumbs”

8 THIN & TALL filler (self promo)

Thumbs up to the person who wrote in about Rt 28 and how dumpy it looks, the traffic islands have weeds growing in them and all around them (3ft or better) you should take out the islands, if you are not going to take care of the islands, the dump is kept cleaner than Rt 28. Rt 28 need a complete makeover its ugly.”

“Thumbs down to the Assessing Department for not keep up with the falling real estate prices. Now the town has to pay all that money back to Market Basket plus interest, don’t look at home owners to pay for your lax assessing practices. The Assessing Department has been charging everyone way too much money for a long time. Just look at the Eagle Tribune paper real estate transactions. Everyone who sells their house is charged about eighty thousand dollars ++ more than the selling price, plus 125% anything over 100% means you are spending too much of the tax payers money. Maybe the homeowners of this town should start a Class Action Suit against the town for being over taxed. Everybody who owns commercial property is going to be looking to see if they have been over taxed. Assessing Dept. take off your rose color glasses; things have been bad for tax payers for the last 6 years. (Times are still bad) How many Windham kids went to Salem High and now they are all gone, not one teacher has been laid off.”

““Thumbs down, way, wayyyy down to the person that stole my check book. Yes I might have been a fool for forgetting it, but the right thing was to give it to the Hannaford store service desk. I am not rich. I live like everyone else. You will be taking food out of the mouths of my family and take the roof off their heads. So please do the right thing by returning it. You know who you are.”

“Thumbs down to the Salem Police for releasing the very disturbed pervert who exposed himself in a very disturbing manner with a cash bail of $340.”

“Thumbs up, huge ‘thumbs up’ to Representative D.J. Bettencourt who did a great job outlining the successes of the Republican legislature at the Salem Republican Town Committee meeting. Keep up the great work!”

“Thumbs up to Congressman Charlie Bass for taking time to visit Salem and answer the tough questions at the Senior Center about what the heck is going on in our economy. His answers were difficult to hear but honest and reassuring.”

“Thumbs up to Congressman Bass, Representative Bettencourt, and Selectman Campbell for their efforts to fight for federal funding of the Haigh Avenue project. Those of us who have been plagued by springtime flooding for almost 30 years appreciate that we have not been forgotten.”

“Thumbs down. What a shame that Salem Democrats have sunk to a new low with their anonymous smearing of Representative Bettencourt. As one of D.J.’s neighbors, I can tell you first hand that when he is not serving us in Concord he is here in Salem serving us.

For the good of their party Salem Democrat Chairman Larry Disenhof should resign immediately.”

“Thumbs down to Ellen Smith, whose remarks regarding Selectmen Covey and Roth on Stephen Campbell’s facebook page were completely inappropriate (July 22nd at 12:22pm). Who are you, ‘Ellen?’ Are you afraid to let the public know your true identity? Guess it’s easier for you to operate under a fictitious name so you can make as many threatening, demeaning comments as you’d like. And Stephen Campbell, shame on you for allowing such commentary to air and remain on your Facebook page. Publicity is one thing, but blatant name-calling is quite another. Is this how a selectman should be conducting himself?”

“Thumbs up, to the Salem Animal Rescue Legion for keeping the stray dogs off the busy street of our wonderful town”.

“Thumbs down to the Salem Democrats and their union friends who feel the need to inappropriately pry into the private lives of our State Representatives and their loved ones. Are the politics of personal destruction all they have to offer? No political arguments just pitiful petty personal attacks?”

“Thumbs up, way up to Salem Representative and NH House Majority Leader D.J. Bettencourt. I don’t thank politicians very often but Bettencourt is the exception. Thanks for starting to reverse the destructive Democrat Agenda that has been imposed on the State of NH.”

“Thumbs down to Ellen S who has so many derogatory comments about those who are speaking out about Salem politics! Keep hiding behind your postings on PH’s facebook page, we do know who you are!...And for the person that likes to follow town employees around…better ‘Lawyer up’ again!!!”

“Thumbs down to Governor John Lynch. How does he possess the shamelessness to show his face in Salem when he refuses to save our town treasure, Rockingham Race Track by supporting expanding gaming? When will Salem Democrats hold the Governor accountable for his shameful position?”

“Thumbs up to Gov. Tim Pawlenty for his professionalism and spirited presidential campaign. It is greatly appreciated that he took the New Hampshire Primary very seriously and was a frequent visitor to our state.”

“Thumbs down, a big ‘thumbs down’ to the dog owners on Haigh Avenue that allow their dogs to bark constantly for hours. This happens day and night. Please have some consideration for your neighbors. Either you just don’t care or you are deaf!!!”

“Thumbs up to House Majority Leader DJ Bettencourt who, in a little more than six months, has helped usher in sweeping reforms for New Hampshire and has a record of accomplishments that puts Governor Lynch to shame.”

“Thumbs down to the Salem Community Patriot staff person who did the layout for page 6 of the August 12th paper. Perhaps next time you have an article about the wonderful achievement of a Salem High School Senior you will think twice about placing it just above the article entitled ‘Disturbing Man in Women’s Clothing Exposes Self at Mall.’

“Thumbs down to children that do not care for the older parents when they become sick and can not be trusted alone or in public.”

“Thumbs down to Salem’s Town Planner. ‘A lot of that is reuse of existing buildings,’ Moldoff said. ‘We’ve seen a lot of that in the last month and a half at the Planning Board level. For the last month and a half, the phone has been ringing.’ Ya, because vacancy’s are occurring daily! We just lost a long time business in the Depot, the Hobby Shop, and how long has Sunoco been vacant not to mention the Coke plant? How have you kept your job this long?”

“Thumbs up to the person who has been criticizing Stephen Campbell’s cheap shots on facebook. It is obvious that it has gotten under his skin. It has prompted his equally juvenile supporters to comment too. It’s not a matter of a person submitting a ‘thumbs’ comment anonymously it about people that are supposed to represent us that for whatever reason, cannot refrain from juvenile behavior. Stephen you need to stay off facebook and Pat McDougall you need to take your own advice and do us all a favor, ‘sit down and shut up.’”

“Thumbs down to the board of selectmen meeting held on August 8 Where Elizabeth Roth made a statement to Stephen Campbell that was very unprofessional, very disgusting and very disappointing. I believe that as a past supporter of Miss Roth that she owes Stephen Campbell a public apology at the next board of selectmen meeting on the 15th of August. I hope she will have enough class and respect for her colleagues to make that apology public at the next board of selectmen’s meeting. Thank you, a very concerned citizen.”

“Thumbs down to mean people. Mean people are people that flip the bird to you while you are on your own property, call the police on you for no reason, gossip about you, have separate

rules for how they can live and how you are supposed to live by their rules. Mean people turn others against you when you have done nothing wrong. They make noise on purpose to bother you (stomp-stomp) or shine lights in your window to bother you. They take pictures of you and make things up to hurt you. They lie to you and about you. Jesus, please give me strength to endure them and continue to be better than they are for being honest, down to earth, and kind to others. Also pray for them that they find their hearts because they are not using them at all.”

“Thumbs up to Charlie Bass for coming to Salem and listening to the people, why does he think it will make a difference, he can’t change anything.”

“Thumbs down to who ever is stealing my copy of the Patriot from my mail.”

“Thumbs down to the Salem Selectmen for fighting at every meeting and then on facebook, do they also Twitter.

“Thumbs up to the Salem Police if it wasn’t for them our town could be Methuen North.

“Thumbs up to Salem Chamber of Commerece, moving to the train depot help that little green building look alive, are there other plans for the vistor center, but how about some parking.

“Thumbs down to all the Massachusetts drivers in Salem and how they think they own the roads”

“Thumbs up to the Salem Fire Department for the help with our emerency last week, they were very professional and my family felt save upon their arrival.

“Thumbs down , what has happen to mail delivery in the town, more truck at the post office and later in the day mail delivery.

When Jane Takvorian realized her house was simply too empty without her husband and children, she sold it. Jane had a fall, and other health challenges. “I knew I shouldn’t live alone, and I didn’t want to burden my children,” Jane says. They visited Windham Terrace and the Executive Director suggested a short-term stay as an opportunity to “try it out” for a month.

“They were sincerely interested in helping us do the right thing, ” Kim says. Today, Jane enjoys playing bridge and having dinner with friends at the place she now calls “home.”

Do you have questions about the changing needs of aging? You too can “do the right thing” by calling to learn more about assisted living, memory care, and short-term stays.

NH is the Best Place to Raise a ChildFor the fourth year in a row, the Annie E. Casey Foundation’s Kids Count survey has named New

Hampshire the best state to raise a child. “I am proud that New Hampshire has once again been recognized as the best state in the nation to raise a child,” Governor Lynch said.

“This ranking matters because it means more New Hampshire children are healthy and receiving the good start they need to succeed than anywhere else in the nation,” Governor Lynch said. “It also matters because it helps attract new residents and new businesses to invest here in New Hampshire - which will our families succeed well into the future.”

“To stay number one, we must keep working to help parents earn better jobs; keep investing in children’s health care; and continue to help ensure more of our young people stay in school,” Governor Lynch said.

New Hampshire ranked first in four out of the 10 indicators used by Kids Count (no other state ranked first in more than one) and was in the top 10 in all categories.

9/11 Memorial Flag Coming to New

Hampshire submitted by Russell Osgood, Vice President, Portsmouth Firefighters Charitable Association

The National 9/11 Memorial flag will arrive in Portsmouth in just over a week. August 23 will be a day to remember the many sacrifices made during and after the attacks on 9/11 when the National 9/11 Memorial Flag makes it only stop in New Hampshire.

The Flag destroyed in the aftermath of the collapse of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, and was stitched back together seven years later by tornado survivors in Greensburg, Kansas. The National 9/11 Flag is a living testament to the resilience and compassion of the American people. It is the modern day version of The Star Spangled Banner.

The New York Says Thank You Foundation is currently taking The National 9/11 Flag on a journey across America where local service heroes in all 50 states will be given the historic privilege of stitching the flag back to its original 13-stripe format. Once the flag is made whole again by the 10th Year Anniversary of 9/11, The National 9/11 Flag will become part of the permanent collection of the National September 11 Memorial Museum being built at the World Trade Center.

There is still time to nominate a local service hero in your community who deserves the honor of stitching the National 9/11 Flag when it comes to New Hampshire August 23 at Portsmouth Fire Station 2, 3010 Lafayette Road in Portsmouth at 10 a.m. followed by stitching open to the public until 1 p.m. If you know someone who is a shining example of service and sacrifice to their local communities, whether this person is a wounded warrior, military veteran, first responder, educator, student, volunteer service leader, or someone who lives their life in a heroic manner, please go to www.National911Flag.org and click on “Nominate a Service Hero.”

The public is encouraged to come and view the flag and welcome to take part in the public stitching of the New Hampshire patch.

We were all impacted on that fateful day in September, not only here in Portsmouth, but across the nation people watched as the attacks unfolded. We gasped with horror as the buildings came down taking firefighters, police officers, neighbors, friends, and family. The New Hampshire patch honors them all including, Thelma Cuccinello, Carol Flyzik, Carl Max Hammond, Jr., David Kovalcin (Hudson), Robert Leblanc, Louis “Neil” Mariani, Tom Mcguinness, Michael and Kathleen Shearer and Douglas Stone, all from New Hampshire.

by Chris WhiteOn Monday night, some of us watched

Minnesota Twins slugger Jim Thome belt career home runs number 599 and 600 against the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park. Thome became only the eighth player in major league history to join the 600 home run club (the seven others: Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, Sammy Sosa, Alex Rodriguez, and Ken Griffey, Jr.).

In a post-game interview, Thome was asked what message about the game of baseball he had for the Little Leaguers out there watching on television, and what they could accomplish with hard work. Thome replied, “Well, always dream. I think if you dream big, dreams can come true. And I think there’s always a commitment. There’s a huge commitment in baseball and in all sports.”

Bingo! Thank you, Jim Thome. You just said the magic words when you explained how those dreams can come true - through commitment to your sport. A player’s commitment is probably one of the most underrated aspects in any sport, at any level. It’s sad to see how some coaches evaluate the players on their team and what they base their decisions on.

For example, if a coach had two players with about the same ability level playing the same position, the coach would most often choose to play one player over the other because of athletic attributes like his size, quickness, or upside. It’s very rare to see a coach choose to give more playing time to one of his less athletic players who shows more passion for the game and logs more hours in the gym, which can be a shame sometimes because a more passionate, dedicated player would be more likely to leave it all out on the floor for his team.

And yet, commitment isn’t always understood well from the players’ side either. A couple weeks ago, I wrote an article about why it’s beneficial to participate in multiple sports during your high school years. But it’s not beneficial unless you commit to each of your sports appropriately, meaning the sport that is in season takes priority over your other sports plus other extra-curricular activities like work and vacation.

And in the summer, when it’s time for all sports, you have to let your coaches know what you’re doing if there are conflicts. All that’s needed is a little communication between player and coach, but sometimes it doesn’t happen because some players don’t understand the importance of it. Therefore, they don’t understand the importance of commitment either.

This is why I’m bringing up Jim Thome this week. I think we can all learn a thing or two from

him. I’ve always hated him because he’s been a Red Sox-killer over the years, but after I saw that interview Monday night, I love him because of what he said. That interview made me think, “Hey, maybe I should listen more to what this guy has to say.”

Think about how important his dedication was to making him successful in baseball. After hitting a milestone home run, one of the first things he mentioned when giving advice to young baseball players was to be committed to your sport and you will be successful. Thome, one of the seemingly few power hitters of the last 20 years not ever linked to steroids, is living proof of this philosophy – the guy is a work horse and has been playing in the majors since 1991. To do that, you have to understand how to work hard and love what you do.

Clearly, he understands what it means to be committed. And on Monday night, he reminded us of what it means to be committed too.

by Chris WhiteWith every new season comes new hope as well as new

opportunity, and there will be plenty of chances for Salem football players to earn a spot in the Blue Devils’ regular line-up this fall. Salem is losing a lot from graduating all-state caliber players in Max Jacques (running back), Mike Lorenz (receiver), Andrew Ivas (offensive line), Joe Dipalma (linebacker), and Matt Cannone (defensive back). However, the Devils also have many players ready to step in and fill the void.

The Blue Devils have been working hard in practice as they prepare for their opener at Keene on Friday, September 2 at 7 p.m. Players who normally haven’t gotten as much opportunity to play during previous seasons are now showing what they are capable of on the field in preseason practices and scrimmages.

“Every year I go into this scene and see the kids work hard,” Salem football coach Jack Gati said. “This year, the seniors have stepped up and become leaders. They’re focused, they’re giving a lot of effort, and they’re improving.”

As it would be in any year, improvement will be one of the keys to Salem’s success this season. Salem featured a high-octane offense to go with a pretty good defense in 2010. This season, the Devils will lose some of that offensive clout, while they focus on improving defensively.

“I’m looking forward to us becoming a better defensive team,” Gati said. “Last year, we had a balanced, high-scoring attack on offense. This year, our offense will be effective but probably not as high-scoring.”

Seniors Jerickson Fedrick (running back) and Nick Tilton (offensive line) are the only two full-time offensive starters returning from last year’s squad that went 7-5 overall and lost to Pinkerton in the Division 1 semifinals. There are also other returning Blue Devils who have received playing time as reserves – Chris Fancy and Kris Phipps on the offensive line, and Mike Downing and Abner Rodriguez at running back. Newcomers at running back Rasheed Adigun and Steve Bemister should also provide depth to the backfield this fall, while Jon Soldano and Ryan Nichols are currently competing for the starting quarterback job.

The defensive line will be led by Dan Stacey, who had a solid season in 2010, while Justin Lozowski has also been doing a nice job at defensive tackle in the preseason. Meanwhile, the Blue Devils are looking strong at linebacker with Fedrick and Ricky LaRhette on the outside, and Kevin Dembkoski at inside linebacker. Jason Martinez has also been solid on both sides of the ball as a running back and a defensive back in the preseason.

It will be a bit of a wait for the Salem faithful to see the Blue Devils play at home this season. The Devils are on the road for the first two weeks of the season and their first home game will be played on Friday, September 16 versus Manchester Memorial. Kick-off is set for 7 p.m.

New-Look Blue Devils Gear Up for Football Season

Rehab Athlete of the MonthOver the last 11 years, the staff of Sports and Rehab has touched the lives of over 100,000patients, helping injured workers return to their jobs and athletes to their sport. We have initiated an award to recognize this special group of patients, the “Rehab Athlete of the Month.” Our winners will be among those who have overcome great obstacles and sometimes severe conditions in order to return to their sport.

Rehab Athlete of the Month 2011 is Shealyn TestaShealyn Testa is a sophomore at Fairfield University in Connecticut. A graduate of Pinkerton Academy class of 2010, Shealyn is a Division I field hockey player for the Fairfield Stags. Six months ago in the off season, Shealyn developed shin splints and Iliotibial band tendonitis and could not run more than 3 minutes without pain. Being a high level college athlete, Shealyn needed to resolve her pain.She began Physical Therapy with Nicole Rogers, DPT here in our Derry office. Shealyn’s treatment consisted of flexibility exercises for her hip musculature, strengthening of weak and imbalanced muscles, and a current manual soft tissue therapy called Graston Technique. Graston Technique effectively breaks down scar tissue and reduces inflammation that causes and restricts mobility. Shealyn Testa has since resolved her pain and is back at school ready to play Field Hockey. All of the staff at Sports and Rehab wishes Shealyn GOOD LUCK!!The staff at Sports and Rehab makes it our goal to provide The Best in Rehab to every patient that comes to our clinics. Our highly skilled therapeutic team members use their experience and expertise to help patients reach their goals.
