There was an air of progress and achievement

inside Salem High School on Friday, June 13, as 350

graduating seniors received their diplomas in front
of family, faculty and cameras. Due to unfavorable
weather, the graduation ceremony was held inside
the school, between the gym and a remote viewing
via large screen projection in the auditorium.
Students and their families were informed that
the ceremony would be indoors while attending
graduation rehearsal earlier in the day. Students
excitedly congratulated one another in the large gym
while awaiting their nal march through the hallways
that they have called home for the past four years.
Tracy Collyer, the current principal at Salem High,
noted in her opening remarks how honored she felt
to have ushered the class of 2014 into SHS in their
rst year when she was the freshmen dean. She
warmly spoke about experiencing the students
transformation since she welcomed them into the

Who knew 10 years ago that the Relay for Life in Salem would
turn into the institution that it has become in Salem? Nanci Carney
and Mary Reese, the rst chair people, hoped that it would continue
and it has. This years event was a little different in there was
no sleeping over. The relay ran from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. and the
weather was ideal.
Terry Conroy, chairperson for the second year, started the event
off by saying how the committee had listened to the committee
and relayers by changing times and making it easier for teams. She
stated our primary goal each and every year is to raise money
in an effort to support programs that will fund research and offer
relief to patients and their loved ones during their difcult journey
with cancer. But lets not forget the importance of having fun
while doing so! She did mention that she was psyched because
she would be sleeping in her own bed tonight. She was pleased to
announce the Salem Policemens Association had donated $7,000.
Blaine Stevens, Miss Greater Plaistow Outstanding Teen, sang The
Star Spangled Banner. After that, as usual, the rst lap was the
Survivors Walk.
Many teams sold food, had rafes or games to help raise money
for the relay. One team from Salemhaven has been selling cupcakes
for the last ve years. The staff, friends and family participate in
the venture. Each person makes two dozen cupcakes to be sold
at the relay. The team members compete against each other. For
the last two years, the Salemhaven group, a Bronze team, has won
the award for serving the best food. On a lighter side, the DJ, Tyler
Querolf from Canobie Lake Park, was holding a contest similar
to the Minute to Win It game. Team members would compete
against each other on stage.
Larry Disenhof, who is the logistic coordinator, commented on
how this was the best closing ever because they had the largest
crowd. All 42 teams were given owers and balloons. As of last
night they had raised over $100,000 and the number will continue
to rise. You could actually watch the relay live on SCTV thanks to
Tom Giarusso, Larry Seaman and the volunteers. Larrys dedication
to this event is amazing.
This staff reporter is always amazed by the strength of the people
who attend. One of the women who I talked to before the event
started said she had stage-3 cancer. When asked if she would be
taking part in the Survivors Walk, she said no. Yet, she was seen
later walking with a smile. It is never too late to make a donation,

Zest, Grit, Self-Control Make a Successful Champion
as a champion, zest, grit, and self-control.
Zest is an enthusiasm for life, and the ability to share joy.
Others want to be with you if you have zest for life, he said.
Grit is the capacity to work on something even when its
hard. Even if you fail, you get back up and continue.
Self-control is being a light, being responsible, doing
what you are asked to do and helping out, Delahanty said.
A person with self-control makes good choices, good
decisions, he said.
Delahanty spoke to parents saying they can help children
develop these qualities.
I encourage you to be interested in whatever it is you nd
interesting, he said, noting a person does not have to be
particularly interesting to share an interest in something. All
of us can be interested, he said.
Delahanty encouraged students to pursue the three
qualities to nd success in life.

opening statements for the ceremony, Tracy
spoke of how she valued the privilege
of being the rst person to welcome
them to school and the last person to
congratulate them on their graduation.
She then spoke to the parents and
family who were in attendance: This
represents an accomplishment for you,
as well as your child, to which the
graduates turned to their audience and
gave a standing ovation.
Tracys opening remarks followed the

recently for their dedication and excellence to club programs
with one member receiving a signicant distinction.
The Russell F. Ingram Award for Excellence in Programming,

Superintendent of Salem Schools Michael Delahanty spoke on
what it means to be a champion and earn the awards presented.
They try hard, they work very hard, he said to recipients,
adding, Theres still a lot of work that you need to do.
Being a champion requires learning from parents, teachers,
and mentors, Delahanty said, and even adults strive to be their
best.
Were kids at heart, we all love a challenge, and we all nd
success very motivating.
Delahanty said three qualities were needed to achieve success

Storm Water Drainage
Leaving Abutters Sunk
by S. Aaron Shamshoyan
Storm water drainage is leaving an abutter to a recently
renovated elementary school in a rut, claiming the new parking
lot is ooding her elds and could create a wetland.
Margaret Putnam owns and operates a four-generation farm
on Zion Hill Road, and told school board members the drainage
system installed in the North Salem Elementary Schools parking
lot is dumping excessive water onto her property, making it
impossible to hay the eld.
The pipe is totally pointed at my property, Putnam said. I
dont want any of their water.
Before the school was built, the property was part of the familys
farm, Putnam said. That eld never drained on this eld.
Putnam feared a continued ow of water could turn part of her
property into a wetland. She said an existing woods road was
nearly impossible to pass because of the water drainage.
Additionally, Conservation Commission member Thomas
Campbell, a Zion Hill Road resident, said the school was violating
laws by allowing water to drain onto an abutters property.
You cannot discharge water onto an abutters property, he told
school board members, unless permission was granted.
Campbell said he had spent more than $500 researching and
mitigating problems the drainage is causing on his property.
Youre doing something thats impacted my property, he said.
Youve got to do something.
Campbell told the board changes to the drainage system
needed to be made and threatened to call the Department of
Environmental Services.
If the boards not so inclined to get DES involved, maybe I
will, he said.
Brian Vincent, Senior Project Manager at Nobis Engineering, the
company that designed the drainage system, said the system was
working as planned.
The grading was constructed very similar if not identical to
the design plans, he said, adding that the storm water retention
gallery was working as planned.
Vincent said the same amount of water was being directed
from the parking lot to a drainage swale as before the renovation.
Both designs discharge to the same location, he told the board.
He laid out options to reduce or eliminate water runoff onto the
abutters property.
First, a reduction in the outlet pipe would mean water would
discharge slower onto the property. Vincent said currently the
outlet was eight inches, and that it could be reduced to four or six
inches. He cautioned the board it would take longer for standing
water to leave the parking lot.
Another option included building a diversion swale 150 feet
east of the discharge point, but said it would require earth work
and clearing of trees.
Theres probably a need to approach DES about this option,
he said noting the water could ow into a wetland.
Board member Michael Carney sought a solution which would
retain the storm water on the property. Vincent said a high water
table made a retention tank almost impossible.
Vincent suggested the board work to establish an easement with
the abutter to mitigate the problems on her property.
The board voted to rst try to reduce the size of the discharge
pipe, allowing for water to drain less rapidly, and work with
abutters to alleviate the problem.
Carney said the water output needed to be monitored. If the
problem is not resolved, the board will seek a more involved
solution.

As a sign that the
political season has begun,
the Salem GOP Committee
along with the NH State
GOP, has opened an ofce
at 356 South Broadway. To
kick off the opening of the
ofce, the Salem GOP held
a grand opening to bring
together local politicians
who will be campaigning
for the primary being held
Tuesday, September 9, with
the general election on
Tuesday, November 4.
The guest speaker was
Senate President Chuck
Morse, who spoke of
uniting the party and
getting out the vote.
Following Senator Morse
was a candidate for Senate
Jim Rubens, the former two-
term Republican state senator.
Patricia Conway, candidate
for the ofce of Rockingham County attorney, spoke of her experience trying felony cases and dealing
with not just the accused but also the victim of crimes. Also running for county attorney and speaking at
the opening was Salem Police Attorney Jason Grosky.
Other candidates to speak were State Representative Marilinda Garcia, who is running for the U.S.
Congress, a seat currently held by Ann Kuster. Also running for congress is Jim Lawrence running on a
platform of winning back NH for NH, and Gary Lambert, the 35-year veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps.
Gubernatorial candidate Walt Havenstein spoke of improving private sector job growth and of the
importance of getting behind the group of quality Republicans candidates.
Many other candidates made appearances at the grand opening including all of the state representatives
from Salem and Rockingham County Registrar of Deeds Cathy Ann Stacey.
David Chesley, state director of the Republican National Committee, said that Salem is considered
an ideal location for a victory ofce. Due to the geographic location, many candidates nd that getting
into Salem is a very convenient stop on the campaign trail. Salem is also considered the center of south
central NH and a great indicator of how the surrounding cities and towns will vote. In past elections,
the Salem victory ofce has ranked second best in the state with the number of volunteers, walkers and
phone calls made.
The Salem ofce will now be open seven days a week until Election Day. Volunteers are always
welcome, and voters are encouraged to come in and get literature on the candidates as well as signs.

submitted by Salem Police Department
Salem Police and Salem School District administrators met after the Sandy
Hook Elementary School tragedy to discuss ways to make Salem schools
safer. Salem Police School Resource Ofcer Matthew Norcross had
an idea to place an older, unused police radio in each school for the
purpose of communicating a life-threatening emergency to police,
thereby, initiating an immediate response by police personnel.
Chief Paul Donovan was in full support of the idea and, with
the cooperative efforts of the Salem School District, quickly
implemented the program in Salem.
This past April, Ofcer Norcross met Michelle Gay, one of the
founders of Safe and Sound Securing Our Schools: A Sandy Hook
Initiative and mother of Josephine Grace, who was one of the
young victims at Sandy Hook Elementary. Ofcer Norcross shared
with Gay the safety procedures in Salem schools and she loved it,
asking if she could publish the idea on her website. Salems idea
can now be found on the Safe and Sound Schools website at www.
safeandsoundschools.org under the section, Education Inspiring Ideas.
Ofcer Norcross has personally shared Salems procedure with other
police agencies from around New England and is very excited to have his
idea shared on a national level. Concord Police Department recently adopted
the safety procedure and will be implementing it for the next
school year.
by Michael W. Delahanty, Ed.D., Superintendent, SAU 57
With all the excitement of a successful high school renovation, its easy to forget that an elementary
facility project has been underway since August of last year. We had ledge challenges at the Fisk School
site, but otherwise weve had few problems at any schools. We remain on track to nish the projects on
time and well under budget.
The school communities have addressed transitions throughout the year. New additions were the rst
phases to be nished. These included kindergarten spaces at both sites. Soule students were able to
move into their new spaces early in the year and have remained in the same spaces. The new library was
nished early at Soule and the students didnt lose one day of access to books. Phase I at Fisk included
new public spaces such as the gymnasium, main ofce, and library. Soon after the start of 2014, students
began to occupy new space at both schools and Phase II of the work began in earnest.
Town inspectors were very helpful throughout the construction process and toward keeping the project
on track. Inspectors diligently reviewed plans and the nished work to be certain everything was done as
designed. We experienced no inspection interruptions or delays, and were most grateful for this.
Phases II and III included renovations of existing spaces and this required the students to move into
different temporary spaces. However, nobody missed a beat as workers tore apart oors, ceilings, and
mechanical systems in those locations. Care was taken to be as minimally disruptive as possible. The
project managers at both sites were strict about keeping staff and students separated from laborers and
craftsmen. Temporary walls were built where and when necessary and temporary access doors were
constructed for workers to have easy access into and out of the schools.
In April, the contractor began to install new lighting and re suppression systems at Haigh School. As
community members may remember, the work at Haigh is limited
to life-safety systems and includes lighting, re protection, improved
security, and a new front entrance. The balance of this work will be
completed during the summer weeks.
Phase IV is already underway. Community members can review
specic locations by navigating to the project site from the districts
web site. The contractor will address all systems of the remaining
classrooms, and hardwood oors will be installed in the new
gymnasiums. Finishes will be installed and the schools will be
prepped for opening day. Finally, the schools exteriors will get a
facelift and the sites will be graded and paved. Landscaping will be
done in the fall.
Were incredibly proud of the students and staff of the schools as
they kept wonderful attitudes throughout the year. Our successes
bode well for whats upcoming at Salem High School.
Candidates Turn out for Opening of Salem GOP Ofce

candidate Marilinda Garcia both made appearances.

Jeanne Shaheens Priorities are
New Hampshires Priorities
While U.S. Senator Scott Brown was doing his anti-
job creation act in Massachusetts during his partial term
after defeating Martha Coakley four years ago in their
special election for Ted Kennedys seat, our own New
Hampshire U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen had already
begun amassing an impressive body of work that has
carried over throughout her entire Senate career.
Her legislative achievements benefting our veterans
include the Hire Heroes Act, which gives tax credits
to businesses who employ veterans; opening VAMC
in Manchester (in tandem with Kelly Ayotte), a new
VA center that will serve NH veterans, as well as
launching two new North Country clinics in Berlin
and Colebrook. She has also increased federal funding
for homeless veterans, led the charge to repeal already-
passed cuts to their retirement benefts, and expanded
mental healthcare and suicide prevention for our
National Guard members. Coming from a family with
a strong military background has obviously informed
Shaheen in the importance of giving an assist to this
often-neglected segment of our society.
On the local business and schooling fronts, Jeanne
Shaheen has with her eforts prevented online businesses
from forcing New Hampshire to collect out-of-state
Internet taxes, crafted the Small Business Act which
among other attributes cuts their ordinary levies as well
as extends their write-ofs for energy savings, increased
the maximum Pell Grant award to $5,730 for our
college students, and introduced STEM legislation, a
bipartisan act that helps pave the way for our students
to enter various science and technology felds. And she
also has been instrumental in continuing the ongoing
funding of our Route 93 widening project, a long-
needed roads amelioration if there ever was one.
Along with the ludicrousness of Browns claims to
have Granite Staters interests at heart (when most of
us realize that his candidacy is simply an accident of
geography), his behind-the-scenes activities should
also give our voters pause. On the political end, earlier
this year he disgracefully lobbied Senate Republicans
to flibuster the bipartisan Shaheen-Portman Energy
Ef ciency bill that had already passed in the House
and was set to clear the Senate. Tis was a baldly
cynical ploy to deny Shaheen a richly-deserved
legislative victory in an election year. And he received
enough GOP support to procedurally kill the bill, a
noncontroversial one that wouldve given tax incentives
to businesses and commercial houses, created nearly
200,000 new jobs nationally, as well as saved the United
States over $16 billion in energy costs over the next 15
years. Tanks, Scott.
And the unraveling of Browns association with shady
Florida company Global Digital Solutions and ridding
himself of 1.5 million stock shares earlier this month
speaks for itself. Global Digital was originally founded
as a beauty products supplier in New Jersey, selling hair
spray, conditioners, and shampoos, before reinventing
itself in California as a wireless data enterprise, and
then resurfacing in 2013 as a West Palm Beach-based
frearms maker. He served as their senior advisor
despite the publicly traded company having no revenue,
trademarks, products or patents, boasting only a virtual
of ce space as a location. Tis makes the shadow
group eerily similar to all those comparably- insolvent
NASDAQ tech corporations that started and failed
within days and weeks back in the late 80s-early 90s,
taking billions of American investors dollars with
them. No wonder Brown spent about 2 seconds before
disavowing his part in the enterprise once it became
public knowledge, and one can only hope that all the
negative publicity will prevent any more investors/
gamblers from losing their nest eggs with that canard.
New Hampshire cant allow an interloper like Scott
Brown to replace a true performer like Jeanne Shaheen,
who has had the backs of every Granite Stater for over
two decades as state senator, three-term governor and
current U.S. senator. Shes a true New Hampshirite,
who cares about and works for New Hampshirites.

Obfuscation Once Again
Dont you love the way Obama can seize control
of the media to defect attention from disaster? After
weeks of facts which cast Obama and his administration
in a bad light there is a defection in progress. Releasing
the Gitmo 5 Terrorists to fght again with the Taliban,
suddenly pertinent emails from the IRS scandal are
erased, the food of illegal alien children over the
closed border being distributed around the country
illegally; the Marine seized in Mexico, and the new
round of suddenly discovered 3,200 emails about
Benghazi are just some of the news items plaguing
Obama. Te Ukraine is lost, Iraq is being thrown to the
wolves, and America is retreating on all fronts leaving
a vacuum to be flled by our enemies. Add to that the
incredible amounts of food infation happening in our
supermarket and his popularity is sinking like a stone.
Suddenly, after two years of ignoring him, Obama
seizes the much interviewed and quite open leader of
the Benghazi attack. Do you think it is to change the
discussion to his success? Why couldnt it have been
done earlier? Simply because Obama wanted to use this
card at a point in time like this. Anything to get his
negative images of the main news and replace it with
some crap which really makes no diference. In the
case of the current Government Media love fest they
always willingly gasp and portray the victory and
defect attention from all the failures.
Obama is a master propagandist if nothing else.
What do you think this leader of the attack will
now say? After all, the leader is a terrorist and they
are schooled to lie prolifcally to ensure the attacks
succeed. What if he now helps Obama, who has been
assisting the terrorists with weapons and other support
during the past two years and tells us it really WAS the
video that caused the attack? It makes sense
Obama will signal he will grant leniency to the
terrorist if he plays ball. How would we know? How
do we trust Obama at this point in anything he
says? He and his administration have been lying to
us all the time except for one statement his plan to
fundamentally transform America. It appears, from
the illegal alien invasion, bankrupting our taxpayers,
and corrupting the bureaucracy, his desire is to turn the
U.S. into a third world.

Recreation Director Chris Dillon plans to
construct a new pavilion at Hedgehog Park, but
community support will be needed to complete
the project.
The current restroom and warming shelter
facility is about 900 square feet, and the new
pavilion will triple that.
Dillon said the new facility will feature an
enclosed area and open picnic table shelter. A
concession stand, restrooms, and storage would
be constructed in the building, and the open roof
would cover picnic table seating for 100 people.
The new rooftop is 3,264 square feet, Dillon
told selectmen. All of these elements are larger
than whats out there now.
But various
expenses have
increased the
project from
the originally
anticipated
cost between
$90,000 and
$250,000
with current
estimates
coming in at
$450,000.
Dillon said
the current
building is
connected
to electricity
through a
directly buried
wire, and
operates on a
well. Plans for
the new facility
would connect it to municipal water and burry
new electrical cables in conduit.
Dillon said the larger facility would mean more
function to the property and be a better asset for
the community.
Hedgehog Park has been undergoing changes
since Dillon started in his position. Trees were
removed to allow more sunlight to the park,
a skate park was installed on the front of the
property, a new playground was put in, and
additional parking added.
Its a very exciting project, Dillon said. This
will be an exciting addition to it.
Even with the new gravel parking lot, the park
is becoming more utilized and parking continues
to be an issue. Selectman Stephen Campbell
questioned if future expansions to the lot would
be possible.
Dillon said after phase three is complete, phase
four will be to add basketball and tennis courts
along with more parking.
The work being done to the park is being
funded by private donations from the community.
Different levels of contributions are being
accepted for the project, and Dillon said, if an
individual or business were able to donate a
fourth of the projects cost, they were working to
create naming rights for the pavilion.
Selectman Everett McBride asked Dillon to
look into using low-maintenance materials, and
Selectman James Keller suggested looking into
security for the building.
Dillon said he hopes to soon begin fundraising
for the project and start construction in 2015.
Recreation Director Chris Dillon stands by the aging warming shelter and restroom facility
at Hedgehog Park with plans for a new facility in hand.
Tese plans would triple the existing space and provide a pavilion area.

Ticket sales fundraisers helped local charities
submitted by Kimberly Mueller, Manchester Monarchs
The Manchester Monarchs, the primary afliate of the Los Angeles Kings, donated over $50,000 to local
non-prots through ticket fundraisers during the 2013-2014 season, Monarchs President Darren Abbott recently
announced.
During the 2013-2014 season, local charities enjoyed a night at a Monarchs game while they were raising
money for their worthy causes. Each ticket purchased by friends and family of the non-prot for a group outing at
a particular game, the Monarchs donated a portion of the ticket sale back to the charity.
Charitable groups attending the games could also participated in several different in-game elements, such as the
high-ve tunnel, where they greeted the players as they entered the ice at the beginning of the game; held the big
American ag at center ice during the National Anthem; and assisted in selling Chuck-A-Pucks, all in an effort to
get the word about their non-prot out to the community and raise funds.
The $50,000 raised during last season helped over 75 different non-prot organizations. The top beneciaries
of the Monarchs ticket fundraiser program include High Hopes Foundation, MDA of New Hampshire, YMCA of
Greater Manchester, ConVal High School Equestrian Team, American Cancer Society, Pancreatic Cancer Action
Network, Best Buddies, NH Conservation Ofcers Relief Association, Teen Challenge New England, Second Wind
Foundation, Corey A. Boivin Memorial Scholarship Fund, Windham PTA, and March of Dimes.
Giving back to the Manchester community is a major focus for our organization, said Abbott. It is
rewarding to see that our games are not only entertaining for our fans, but also helps those that are in need in our
community.
The Monarchs have several different ticket fundraisers available and will be able to nd the best option for each
charity. Local non-prots can become involved in the Monarchs ticket fundraiser program for the 2014-2015
season by contacting the teams front ofce at 626-7825.

Senior Safe Night Provides Entertaining Option
by Mike Vinci
The graduates of the Salem High School Class of 2014
congregated into their school after hours on Wednesday, June 11,
to spend more hours among the concrete and bricks that they have
come to know over the past four years. The only difference between
their arrival at the school at 6 p.m. and their typical days spent in the
school is that they all wanted to be there. The seniors were taking
part in the annual Senior Safe Night, which has been hosted at the
high school for more than 20 years. A cast of parental volunteers,
educators and representatives from the Salem Police Department
supervised the seniors and provided food and drinks throughout the
night.
Heidi Greenlaw, who has been a volunteer and part of the Senior
Safe Night committee almost since it began, understands why the
night is so special for the graduating students. She hustled up and
down the hallways of SHS, keeping everything in line and everyone
happy. Students began the night with snacks while they arrived, and
were given their yearbooks, some of which had been ordered within
the rst days of the school year. Many seniors brought cameras of
their own and snapped pictures of their friends while signing each
others yearbooks.
Students could also purchase the video yearbook, which is
produced by Marty McCues TV II class, which consists almost
exclusively of seniors. The video project, which was spearheaded
this year by two seniors, Brennan Tremblay and Drew Moro, was
screened in the auditorium for the grads to watch for the rst time
all together. The two were elected to the positions and were in
charge of helping the class write, direct and produce sketches and
videos which accounted for most of the video yearbooks contents.
Earnings from the sales of the video yearbook were put toward
scholarships that Marty McCue established to help grads who are
moving into higher education in the coming year.
Brennan will continue his education at Fitchburg State College,
where both of his parents attended. When asked about the video
yearbook, which many seniors make their rst priority to purchase
when they rst arrive at the school for their 12-hour stay, Brennan
and Drew made it clear that it was
a group effort. Everyone votes
on which skits are used, so as
many seniors can be involved as
possible, Brennan replied over a
slice of pizza, which was provided
by many donating businesses in
the area. The video yearbook
has a different theme each year.
This years theme was a parody of
Netix, and it is the rst year that
the product is available for both
Blu-ray as well as DVD.
Several entertaining events took
place throughout the night to
keep the graduating seniors awake
and smiling. There was a photo
booth, an obstacle course and a
scavenger hunt which lasted the
whole evening. The Salem Police,
who operated the security for the
night, also hosted an educational
and involved activity that reinforced
to students the dangers of drunk driving. One of the most popular
annual events is the hypnotist/magician Marko who rst amazed
students with magic while roaming the halls of SHS, then took the
stage to dazzle them further with his incredible hypnotic abilities.
Students who signed waivers were hypnotized on the spot and
helped Marko put on a memorable performance.
The night ended with a rafe where gift bags and prizes were
handed out to seniors who completed the scavenger hunt or were
lucky enough to have their tickets pulled and read aloud. The grand
prize each year for one lucky senior is a car which is on display for
the students near the front door of the school as they rst enter for
the night. This years car was a Toyota Corolla which was beautifully
refurbished by Rockingham Toyota. It was not just the car that the
grads were in attendance for, however. Senior safe night has always
provided graduating students the opportunity to spend the night with
their entire class one last time before heading off for the summer and
onto their next adventure.
Salem High School Graduates Get Colorful
by Bob Gibs
Perhaps showing individuality is a sign of the times. Just look over the sea of caps
donned by the soon-to-be Salem High School graduates.
Gone are the endless solid white and blue on the traditional caps worn by all of the
students graduating from high school. Scattered among the traditional mortarboards are
the colorful personalized creations of the young people on their last day of high school.
Some of the caps have colorful, simple themes. Seen in the crowd were names like
Krystal, Tyler, Devin, and Tats. Initials such a HKW and BMY. As Brianna Marie Yazbek
stated, Its just my initials. So Mom and Dad can nd me.
Drawings of turtles, boats, rock bands, the names of colleges that will be attended next
year. All of these brought a sense of individuality to the display of young graduates.
Words of wisdom such as So let it be written, so let it be done, We Made it!,
Adventure is out there, Dream the impossible, Seek the Unknown, Achieve Greatness
sent emotions and thoughts out to fellow students.
Among the many colors and artistic statements, one student sported a full bejeweled
American ag, bringing patriotism to this special ceremony and a coming of age for these
young people.
Te grand prize of the nights raf es was a car
refurbished by Rockingham Toyota.
Seniors Brennan Tremblay and
Drew Moro were in charge of the video
yearbook.

Young Salem Artists Displayed a Range of Styles and Perspectives
by AJ Dickinson
Step into a world of creativity. The Kelley
Library hosted its annual Salem School District art
show from May 28 through June 3. The art gallery
showing, which has been a tradition in Salem for
more than 20 years, featured work from every
school in the district.
Throughout the year teachers select pieces
ranging from photographs and graphite drawings
to paintings and collages. Many talented young
people represented the school district in style
with the variety of expressive perspectives in
their various and sometimes
personally unique media. A
lot of the younger artists who
presented work gave the high
school teachers a glance at the
wide array of talents their future
students possess. All of the
artists who had work on display
were encouraged to come and
talk about their work in this
professionally artistic setting.
Many of the young artists who

A detail shot
of various work
Emily Marchand, Salem High School

Kelsey Whipple, grade 10, Salem High School
Thumbs down to Planning Board member
Ron Belanger and his complaint and request
for records about a local coffee shop on South
Broadway. Whats the matter your friends who
own all the Dunkin Donuts in town where
youre camped out most days feeling a loss
because of this business. You are so unethical I
cant believe you still get votes from people in
this town. Oh wait, favors.
Thumbs down to the Salem Putsch: Hitler
and Lenin would appreciate that Salem is
represented in the New Hampshire House by a
soviet, a committee of nine Tea Party groupies
elected by the entire town so that the putsch
is done and no one wonders what happened!
Why would anyone enter an election that would
have been designed by Hitler?
Thumbs down to the person who rambles
on about Republican Chickenhawks. It seems
like tough talk but obviously this person
is not the sharpest knife in the drawer and
cannot formulate a coherent thought. Sgt.
Bergdahl is a deserter and
labeling him correctly does
not cast dispersions on any
of our military. According to
his fellow soldiers, this idiot
walked away and for all we
know, the Taliban knew he
was coming. Fellow soldiers
gave up their lives looking for
this loser. Americans are not
cowards, as the chickenhawk
person contends. We
remember 9/11. Today, with
the ve top terrorists released
so we could get Bergdahl
back coupled with Iraq going down the drain,
everyone should be afraid that the Taliban will
be coming after us once again. Thats common
sense - not cowardice.
Thumbs down to town selectmen. Removing
the ability of residents of Salem to dump a few
pieces of wood and debris at the transfer station
is a joke. I got my permit ($25) to dump up to
500 lbs. at the LL&s station this week. I had
two rotted fence posts, parts of a broken table
and some pieces of lumber cuts. I waited in
line 35 min. behind eight 16 wheelers loaded
with debris to weigh in. I dumped my small
load (about 30 lbs.) and thought this would be
deducted from the 500 lbs. I was told that the
permit was only good for one time. What a rip
off. Shame on Salem. Residents should be able
to dump small pieces at the transfer station as in
the past. Let Contractors who have large loads
and are being paid go to LL&s. Anyone else
out there fed up? Time to add it to the Town
Warrant to see how the residents feel.
Thumbs down to the
Landscaping company for
disrupting our peaceful Fathers
Day afternoon by showing
up at 1:30 in the afternoon to
mow my neighbors lawn.
Thumbs up to all those who
contributed to a successful
Senior Safe Night for Salem
Highs graduating students.
Thumbs up to the Salem
High custodians that went
above and beyond their
normal duties to help during
the Senior Safe Night event.
Thumbs up to the Senior Safe
Night Committee, SHS student
deans, Student council adviser,
Mr. Courtois, the student
council, and National Honor
Society students for all their
much appreciated help before,
during and after the Senior
Safe Night event. Thumbs up
to the portrait studio for their
generous donation for use of
the Photo Booth and lm for
Senior Safe Night. Thumbs
up to the parents, friends,
neighbors, Salem Police Dept.
and Salem School District
Employees that volunteered
their time chaperoning,
donating food, drinks, gift
cards and prizes for Salem Highs Senior Safe
Night.
Thumbs Up for Salem High School Senior
Safe Night student volunteers; Jimmy Flynn,
Timmy, Logan Shore, Matthew Descoteaux,
Laura Perrault, Julie Appelstein, Amber
Chopelas, Olivia Mosto, Taylor Bramhall, Kat
Caron, Colleen Parisi, Mikey Parisi, Heather
Alfano, Michelle Rheaume, Daria Casazza,
Alehsandra Casazza and Alexa Loduca. Their
contribution helped make Senior Safe Night a
most memorable, successful event.
Thumbs up/Thumbs down. Thumbs up to
Canobie Lake for having a day where seniors
can go and enjoy the park on a beautiful spring
day, but thumbs way down to the ignorant
people that think its OK to have one person
stand in line for the boat ride and save a spot for
15 other people to come up at the last minute
and cut in front of everyone who was standing
in line. Its not fair! If you want to ride on the
boat, or anything else. Stand in line and wait
your turn like the rest of us!
Thumbs down. Whose grand idea on the
planning board was it to put the new medical
building on Route 28 (North Broadway) so close
to the road without any green space in front -
looks awful and if you ever decide to widen the
road in future years - good luck. Even a small
grassed space with a tree or
two would have been better
than this - guess its another of
the triangle at South Broadway/
Lawrence Road intersection
which is also an eyesore!
Thumbs down to the
high school for charging the
underclassmen $5 to park
after the seniors were done
with school. This is a public
building and residents should
not have to pay to park there.
We gave you $70 million last
March and you still have to
nickel and dime us. Way to give back to the
people who have given you ve renovations and
multi-year raises in the last few elections.
Thumbs up to Emily the manager at the
mall. When I did my walk she helped me set
it up. Also John and Roger. They are guards
but like my friends. Also Police Chief Donavan
and Ofcer Mike Geha for their great support.
Without all these great people I could not have
done my 26.2 mile walk.

After the band played, the class valedictorians, four in all, were
given the oor to speak to their fellow graduates and all those
who attended. First was Brenna Blakslee, who spoke about all of
the major events that the average Salem High student experiences
throughout their time at the school. Next was Andria Auger, who
made reference to the fact that her graduating class got to attend
the school when the long-awaited renovation vote was nally
passed. She spoke with pride about how even though she and her
fellow 2014 classmates will not attend the school while it is being
worked on, she is none-the-less happy that she got to be part of the
movement that got the vote approved. Following Andria was Erika
Smith who gave a deeply personal speech about the people who
helped her and pushed her in her time in high school. She thanked
several people for helping her become the successful student she
is today. Finally, Charles Peters provided an insightful dialogue on
how the graduation ceremony represented not only an academic
achievement, but also signied the seniors growth as people. All
four valedictorian received booming applause from their peers and
audience members as they stepped off the stage and rejoined their
fellow grads.
As Tracy Collyer prepared to
bring Class President Kristen
Foster to the stage to give her
speech, she explained that well
over $6 million in grants and
scholarships had been awarded
to the class of 2014 as they
equipped themselves for their
years in higher education. The
impressive number was well
received by the audience, and
the students seemed genuinely
impressed with themselves.
Then Kristen took to the podium
with a speech she began working on
in February. She was welcomed by
gracious clapping from all around.
Before her speech, as she was with
the rest of her class in the larger gym
awaiting their guide marshals to bring
them to their seats, Kristen, who will attend Colby-Sawyer College
for childhood development, spoke about her role as class president.
The president is like the voice of the class, so Im just as much
delivering a message by the students as I am delivering a message
to them, in my speech. When she began speaking, everyone was
paying close attention. She told personal
stories about how she made great
friends
in the
marching
band and
conveyed
words of
solidarity
with her
fellow
grads,
saying
that when
she rst
arrived as
a freshman
at Salem
High, she
did not
expect to
be giving a
graduation
speech, but knew that she was in it for the long haul.
The ceremony, which began at 6 p.m., was over just past 8
p.m. and as everyone led out of the high school, extra hugs and
congratulations were exchanged. For some of the attendees, this
would be the nal time they were exiting the building that they had
been going to so regularly over the past four years. The seniors were
easy to pick out among the crowd as they had on either a blue or
white robe with the classic academics cap atop their heads, and as
they made their way outside, a chant was started, consisting of only
one word, Seniors! Congratulations to the graduating class of
2014.

The graduating class may have been smaller than that of
traditional students, but the excitement in the air was just as
powerful.
Hundreds of people packed the auditorium to cheer on family
and friends as they graduated from Salem High Schools School for
Continuing Education.
Nearly 60 graduates of all ages received their high school
diploma from Bryan Larson, dean of Continuing and Alternative
Education.
I urge you to be courageous graduates, press on, Larson said.
The only thing stopping you is you.
Graduate John Fitzgerald shared his
experience with high school, and the
reason he was graduating 32 years late.
I was supposed to graduate in 1982,
Fitzgerald said, adding he did not originally
graduate due to a lack of interest.
Fitzgerald went on to work at Market
Basket where he was promoted, but
started to become nervous about what
his managers would think about him not
having a high school diploma.
In 1990, Fitzgerald left the supermarket to
work for his familys automotive business.
But it wasnt until 2012 when his oldest
daughter was graduating from Salem High,
he realized he wanted his own diploma and
set a goal to earn it.
Tonight I receive my diploma, he said, emphasizing why he
went back to school. It is something I wanted to do.
Principal Tracy Collyer praised the graduates for choosing to
nish high school.
The important thing is youve persevered and shown your
determination, she said. You never know what skills or
knowledge you are yet to acquire that will help you change the
world.
Superintendent of Schools Michael Delahanty encouraged
graduates to make wise choices in life.
Make sure you choose the right path, he said. The right path is
never broken for you.
Delahanty said more than 30 percent of
adults dont have a high school diploma,
which can be a challenge
in the workplace.
The superintendent told a story of Dick
Costolo who went to school for computer
science but after graduation went into
improvisational comedy. After a few years
in the eld, Costolo went back to his major
and is now the CEO of Twitter.
He said it was important to work for
success. Most of life is improvisation; we
make it up as we go along.
Larson said Salem High Schools
Continuing Education program began to
help soldiers returning from Vietnam earn a
diploma.
Paul Montecalvo celebrates receiving his diploma from Salem High School.

Market Offers Something for Everyone
submitted by Farmers Market
Chef Susan McLean
The summer season of
Salem NH Farmers Market
opened on Sunday, June 22,
coinciding with the rst ofcial
weekend of summer, naturally.
With more than 20 vendors,
there was something for
everyone and every appetite.
Live music by Cow Hampshire
Folk made you want to dust off
your boots and start tapping
your feet and the activity table
kept younger visitors busy
with planting carrot seeds.
Farmers offerings included
an array of greens, juicy
tomatoes, asparagus, crunchy
sugar snap peas, potatoes,
sweet strawberries, honey, raw
milks, yogurt, and cheeses galore.
New vendors included goats milk
and chevre, oyster mushrooms, and
whoopie pies. (Mine didnt make it
home to share with the family)
We served shoppers strawberry-
infused lemonade. Make your
favorite batch of lemonade in a large
glass serving container and simply
add fresh, hulled strawberries. The
gradation of color from red to yellow
gives the feeling of a gorgeous
summer sunrise. Hint: freeze the
strawberries rst to act as ice cubes.
Grilling on summer weekends is
mandatory. Theres something about
seeing perfect grill marks or char just
makes my taste buds start dancing. I
love just about anything grilled. My
new grilled crushes include romaine,
asparagus and spring onions.
This week I decided to try grilled
farmers market wedge salad with homemade buttermilk blue cheese
dressing. If youre not a fan of super smelly cheese, try Brookford Farms
version of blue cheese; youll be a convert. I use it for stuffed burgers, too.
Pick up grass-fed ground beef (and bacon) from the Market and grill up a
wedge burger! The thick dressing is a great substitute for ketchup. Ive
been caught with a spoon in the jar.
Grilled romaine is trending big time. Any hearty green will
work too try Savoy cabbage, bok choy, etc. Grilling boosts
the avor. Be sure to brush a light amount of olive oil you
want to keep the crunchy texture; too much oil will soften the
leaves.
Another new crush is grilled white or red spring onions,
which are onions that have not fully matured. Theyve have
been plentiful at the Market. Theyre both savory and sweet
at the same time, and both the bulb and the stalks are edible.
Grilling intensies the sweetness of their avor prole. I
chop some of the greens to use as
garnish (scallions) but leave a few
inches intact for easy grilling. While
I added these to the wedge salad,
theyre great on their own.
Grilled asparagus spears arent
novel, but wrap them in bacon,
prosciutto or speck rst, brush with
olive oil, season with salt and pepper
and youve got a smoky, salty treat
that your hubbys golf buddies will
beg you to make for their next tee
time. The fresh asparagus bunch
from the Market didnt last long
enough for Mondays outing.
Play with your food. Mix up
ingredients. Try something new.
Talk to the farmers and vendors.
Stop by the information booth to say
hello. Wed love to see you.

Salem NH Farmers Market on Sundays

1 bunch spring (green) onion

What you do:

Mash together with fork to break up the cheese. Add lemon juice. Season
with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Trim greens of spring onions, leaving at least 3 inches of green, reserving
rest for future use.
Place tomatoes on skewers for easy grilling.
Brush corn, tomatoes and spring onion with extra virgin olive oil. Season
with salt and pepper. Grill until charring begins, rotating to get some char
on all sides.
Lightly brush romaine with extra virgin olive oil, season with salt
and pepper. Place cut side down and grill for about 3 minutes or until
leaves begin to char. Flip and repeat.
Remove vegetables from grill to assemble. Cut kernels from cob.
Slice spring onion into thin slices.
Place lettuce on plate, grilled
side up. Top with corn, onion,
tomatoes and bacon. Drizzle
with blue cheese dressing.

At the annual Rotary dinner,
Peter Rayno was recognized with
the Paul Harris fellowship. It is in
recognition of exceptional service
and is made when a club donates
$1,000 in the name of the individual
to the Rotary Foundation. The
Rotary Foundation supports the
efforts of Rotary International in the
achievement of world understanding
and peace through local, national and
international humanitarian, educational
and cultural programs. A portion of the
Rotary Foundation funds is returned to
the local clubs each year for service
projects. They have used the funds to
buy a freezer for a local food pantry,
donate AED devices to local schools,
and contribute to the Hedgehog park
redevelopment project.

Noreen Marie McAloon will began as principal
of St. Joseph Regional Catholic School in Salem
on July 1. McAloon is a long-time elementary
and secondary school educator. She has taught
in Catholic schools in New Hampshire and New
York. She has experience as an assistant principal
and principal in the public sector. She also has
taught religious education classes for many
years in local parishes.
McAloon holds a Bachelor of Science
in elementary education, with a minor
in English, from St. Johns University
in New York. She earned a Master of
Science in reading from C.W. Post Center
of Long Island University. She also holds
a Certicate of Advanced Graduate
Study from Plymouth State University
and a Doctor of Education degree from
Argosy University, both in educational
leadership. She has received certication
as a superintendent, principal, reading
specialist, elementary school teacher, and
curriculum coordinator from
New Hampshire.
The rst students for St. Joseph
Regional Catholic School were
welcomed in September of 1959
by two nuns belonging to the
Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur.
The school building included
the auditorium, eight classrooms
on the main oor, and an
unnished lower level. Only
two of the classrooms were used
initially for grades one and two,
but the plan was to open a new
grade each
year. This
happened
much
sooner than
expected,
and by 1963, one class for each of the eight
grades had been lled. The kindergarten and
preschool, which had been run by St. Joseph
Parish, became part of the school in 2011. For
more information about the mission, history and
programs at St. Joseph, go to the schools website:

Boys Volleyball Claims Tenth Straight Title
by Jacob Gagnon
It has been a decade of dominance for the
Salem High School boys Volleyball program.
The Blue Devils, who earned the rst seed
in the NHIAA Division I Championship
Tournament with a 15-1 regular season, set out
to score their tenth straight state championship
this postseason.
The quest for the tenth began in the
quarternal round on Tuesday, June 10. After
a preliminary round bye, Salem hosted the
eighth-seeded John Stark Regional High
School. The Blue Devils cruised to a 3-0
victory (25-23, 25-22, 25-18) to advance to the
semi-nal round of the tournament.
Pat Frydryck led with 10 kills in the contest.
Danny Nugent scored 13 service points and
had ve blocks. Jacob Slepian collected 26
assists while teammate Darren Righini nished
with 25 digs.
In the seminal round, Salem got the
opportunity to avenge their sole loss of the
regular season. On Tuesday, May 27, Pinkerton
Academy had upset Salem, defeating the Blue
Devils in three straight sets. The Blue Devils
were a different breed of beast in the postseason,
however, and the Astros were about to nd that
out.
The fourth-seeded Pinkerton met Salem in the
seminal round on Thursday, June 12 at Nashua
North High School. Salem dismantled the Astros
in three sets (25-18, 25-22, 25-23) to return, once
again, to the nals.
Frydryck scored 12 kills. Charles Peters had
seven kills with four blocks. Matthew Lavasseur
also recorded four blocks in the contest. Slepian
collected an amazing 30 assists while Righini
nished with an equally impressive 30 digs.
Colton Burnham scored nine service points in the
game.
In the championship match, the Blue Devils
faced Timberlane Regional High School. Like
nine consecutive squads before them, the third-
seeded Owls could not overcome Salem in the
nals. The Blue Devils won their tenth straight
title with a 3-1 victory (25-19, 28-26, 17-25, 25-
22).
Nugent led with 16 kills while
Frydryck had 14 kills. Slepian nished with 38
assists and 21 digs. Righini collected 27 digs,
while Burnham and Lavasseur earned four blocks
apiece.
The honors continued for Salem as ve players
were named to the New Hampshire All-State
team. Righini was named First Team All-State.
Frydryck, Burnham, Peters, and Slepian were
named to the Second Team All-
State. Head Coach John Roemer
earned the 2014 Coach of the
Year Award.
The question arises following every
championship victory: Will the Blue Devils lose
their motivation to continue their dominance? The
answer, for the last decade, has been a resounding
no. Each new Blue Devils team seems to be
hungrier for success than the one before.
Lacrosse Squads Ouellet
Earns All-state Honors
Softball Players Collect
Postseason Awards
by Jacob Gagnon
While the Salem High School Softball team
fell short of their state championship aspirations,
the Blue Devils terric season was recognized
with postseason honors for some of their most
outstanding players.
The Salem High School spring awards were
given to the Blue Devil seniors who have led the
squad over the last couple of seasons. Rachel
Denning received the Coaches Award. Brittany
Wallace and Amanda Bickford both claimed the
Most Valuable Player Award. Meaghan Williams
received the Sportsmanship Award.
Three Salem players were named to the New
Hampshire All-State teams. Rachel Towler was
named to Third Team All-State as a pitcher. Both
Wallace and Bickford received First Team All-State
Honors; Wallace as a catcher and Bickford in the
outeld. While the laurels do not make up for
their disappointing nish, the honors prove just
how special this Salem Softball squad has been.
by Jacob Gagnon
It was a season of peaks
and valleys for the Salem
High School boys
Lacrosse team.
Head Coach Robert
Ruppy Hailey
took to the helm
of the Blue Devils
squad hoping to
change culture
of a perpetually
struggling program.
While Salem did not
make the postseason
tournament, their vast
improvements lend hope
to the future of the team.
The squad improved
to 5-13 this season
compared to 4-12 last
year. One of the teams
biggest accomplishments of the 2014 season for the program was
the success of four-year varsity midelder Oliver Ouellet. Ouellet,
who has served as a Blue Devils captain over the last two seasons,
had the strongest season of his career under Haileys guidance and
with the help of his teammates.
This season, Ouellet scored 21 goals with 19
assists for a total of 40 points in 18 games.
Following the close of the regular season,
Ouellet was selected to represent New
Hampshire in the 22nd annual Hanover
Lions Byrne Cup New Hampshire/
Vermont All-Star game on Saturday,
June 21 at Hanover High School.
Ouellet was also named Division
I Second Team All-State after his
terric season.
Ouellet has been just as valuable
to the Blue Devils off the eld as on.
He has been a leader both on and off
the eld and a person that everyone looks
up to,
said Hailey.
Ouellets leadership
will have lasting effects
on future Salem squads. Ouellet
will don a new jersey next
season as he will compete in the
NCAA Division II Northeast 10
Conference as a member of the
St. Anselm Hawks in the college
ranks.
Te Blue Devils captured their tenth straight state title on Saturday.

Righini collected 27 digs in the championship game.
