Gaming Bill Proposal

Representative Gary Azarian Speaks to Lions Club members about a gaming bill he plans to propose to lawmakers. by S. Aaron Shamshoyan A new gaming bill will soon be making its way before lawmakers in Concord and two local representatives hope it could mean a bright future for Rockingham Park. Representative Gary Azarian (R-Salem), introduced by Representative Robert Elliott (R-Salem), spoke to Lions Club members during a Halloween dinner meeting where he outlined the proposal. SB 152, a bill permitting one licensed casino in the state, failed in May when the house voted not to reconsider an inexpedient to legislate motion which was adopted. The motion passed by 35 votes. Azarian said his new bill is similar to SB 152, but contained amendments, which would help satisfy opponents of the previous bill. An omnibus of amendments proposed earlier this year is being included in the new bill, Azarian said. Amendments include provisions for regulation, impact on the state, and revenue dispersion. He said the previous bill failed committee approval by one vote, adding it was from Salem. Weve taken SB 152 with the omnibus and thats the bill, Azarian said. What they made in that omnibus is what should be on the bill. And if the bill does pass, Azarian hopes Rockingham Park will be receive the license. We need to create jobs, he said adding about 2,200 jobs would be created in Salem on the park grounds if a license was granted. Millions in revenue would be raised for the state from a casino also. The state needs the revenue, Azarian said, noting funding would help reconstruct the highway and fund human services. The bottom line is theres going to be a lot of money raised for the state and the town, he said. Azarian said expanded gaming would not impact charitable gaming. Currently Rockingham Park raises about $1.8 million for local charities annually, and if revenues were to decrease, the casino would be required to supplement the funds. We need to ght for this at the State House level and not here in Salem, Azarian said. A non-binding referendum held in March showed close to 80-percent of voters supported a casino in town on the grounds of Rockingham Park. Azarian said competition in Massachusetts wouldnt be an issue for a Salem-based casino. The location of Rockingham Park is probably the best locating in New England, Azarian said on behalf of consultants. Both Azarian and Elliott are condent the bill will pass. Azarian said the new provisions will satisfy the needs of many opponents and feel it has been well thought out.

Friends, staff and board members threw her a surprise party at Salemhaven. Over the years she has become a voice for the elderly in the community. Senator Chuck Mores once commented Having served as President of Silverthorne in the early 90s, it is impressive to see the growth of the center. Silverthorne provides a great benet to so many families looking to keep their elderly family members home for as long as possible. Rockingham County Sheriff Michael Downing added, Silverthorne is an important part of the elderly care in the Salem area. It provides opportunity for the entire family to continue normal life style. Silverthorne, with Paulas leadership, provides a special place outside of ones home, where adults with all types of abilities and disabilities, are able to receive extraordinary care while living at home and remaining active in their community. Lets hope she stays for another 20 years. Pictured to the right: Board Member Mike Collins presents Paula Faist with an anniversary plaque.

Aaron Shamshoyan Church services were canceled Sunday when over 200 members of Rockingham Christian Church hit the streets October 26 and 27 to help residents in need rake leaves and complete tasks around their yards. Members visited over 25 properties raking leaves, painting, completing various repairs, and building a handicapped ramp. Youth minister Steve Cullum said the initiative, called Serving Salem Together, was an effort to support and interact with the community. We want to love our neighbor, Cullum said as he raked leaves on Brady Avenue. Serving the community is important for the church. Instead of just going to church, we want to be the church, Cullum said. Cullum, along with three other church members, cleared leaves from a Community Crossroads property, which serves individuals and their families with developmental disabilities. Our highest priority was people who were incapable of doing the work themselves, he said. Up the road, a group of families helped clear leaves from another

Team leader Bill Carino said serving the community was important for him and the church. Its important to pull together at a time like this, Carino said. We have a good team, good fun. On the site, the team raked leaves, cleared gardens, and prepared the yard for winter. The group began working at 9:30 a.m. and continued until the project was completed. Projects were recommended by church members and external contacts, Cullum said, adding an emphasis was placed on nonprots. The initiative was well received by community members, and Cullum said the church plans to complete similar projects in the future. Serving Salem Together is a weekend where we meet people where they are and help them follow Jesus by helping our neighbors with yard work and small home repair, he said. Cullum said the church, located on Industrial Way, was glad to be working in the communities it serves. Members re turned to the church facility after working for a meal and worship celebration.

Letters to our Editor
Shutdown Over, Tea Party Defeated, but Brace Yourself for Another One Next Year
There are no winners here. Harsh words, and they were uttered by president Barack Obama after signing the agreement last Wednesday, October 16 that ended the Tea Party Republican-instigated federal government shutdown. Sixteen days of layoffs affecting 800,000 federal employees, closed facilities, neglected national security procedures and a financial loss of over $24 billion was finally over, as Texas bedtime-story savant Ted Cruz and his like-minded gang of GOP malcontents and crybabies finally gave in to the inevitable. The Republican Party lost again, just as they did during the two similar shutdowns during Bill Clintons presidency back in 1995-96. The court of public opinion has spoken, as after concatenating most polls between 63-80% of Americans and a whopping two thirds of registered Republicans disagreed with the shutdown. And the prevailing, unarguable fact is that most American citizens across all political lines save for the ultraist of right-wingers are sick and tired of the continuous hatred and gridlock demonstrated day after day from the conservative Tea Party faction of the present-day GOP. The sole purpose of this latest subterfuge was their attempt to derail the Affordable Care Act, the landmark Obamacare law that is opposed by nearly every GOP lawmaker in America. But the ACA is simply the latest in a long line of necessary and successful ameliorations effected by the Democrats over the past five years that together have pulled us out of the rudderless morass we were ensconced in back in 2008. An amazing amount of positive legislation was unsuccessfully filibustered and denigrated ad nauseum over that period by Washington Republicans before Democratic passage, legislation that has placed America

Scouts Food Drive to be Held This Weekend

This is a heads-up for this years Scouts Food Drive. Saturday, November 9 will be this years date! If you found a tag on your door knob last Saturday, November 2, then the Scouts will be in your neighborhood to pick up your bag or box of groceries. Please do not hang the bag on your mail box. Leave it next to the mail box by 8:30 a.m. on Saturday the 9th. If they are not collecting in your neighborhood, please bring whatever food that you can donate to the Pantry of your choice. Due to the economy, all pantries are in need. Please plan ahead and give whatever you can. If each of us does our share, we can replenish our Pantries. Non-perishable foods, like canned vegetables, fruits, baked beans, tuna or any canned meats, tomato sauce, canned tomatoes, cranberry sauce, any size canned soup (we use small cans for single people, while the larger cans are given to families), cereal or oatmeal is always a need, peanut butter, and dry milk are always in demand. Please just do the best that you can. Do help our neighbors, many of them are what I call the working poor. Two low-income jobs just doesnt cut it! We are not allowed to give out food that has been opened, nor food that is outdated. The Food for the Hungry is a Mission of the Pleasant Street United Methodist Church and we serve between 55-60 Salem families every week. These people are our neighbors not those People. We are Blessed to be of service to people who live in our town and are having a difficult time. If they lived next door to you, you would be there for them. The Scout Drive is one way that we can show our compassion. We really are a compassionate community. We have proved it, time and time again Kay Panciocco, Salem

in the vastly-improved state that short-memoried citizens are taking for granted now. These include 2009s Economic Stimulus Act, the GM/ Chrysler bailouts, 2010s Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (which serves as a regulatory watchdog to prevent last decades housing, business and jobs failures from recurring), the wide expansion of hate crime protections, as well as the ACA. Just Google Obamas top 50 accomplishments/Washington Monthly for a memory refresher, a list that all Obama-bashers should either stay away from or just pretend doesnt exist. And anyone still arguing about the necessity of the gradual implementation of Obamacare should check out the millions of families busily signing up for benefits on the online marketplace healthcare.gov, despite all the system problems and slowdowns that are currently being redressed. Or talk to some of the American families and our elderly who have already been enjoying the earliest benefits of the law since last year. And the good news is that the slowdowns and inaccessibility of the website should be fixed before the end of November, giving customers plenty of time to sign up for assistance. Furloughs are over, parks are reopened and government funding is congress-approved through January 15, 2014, with the option of continued federal borrowing through February 7. If Cruz, John Cornyn, Jim Inhofe and the rest of these quixotic leaders have their way we can all look forward then to another tug-of-war between Americas financial solvency and Tea Party Republicans, in their continuous efforts to drag us all back to the past before the November 2014 elections. All in the name of hindering a president whom they have hated more and more with each successful legislative gain his administration has made, by a ragtag movement that wouldnt even exist if John McCain had won election in 2008.

In My Opinion...
by Ron Penczak According to a February, 2013, Bloomberg report, Saudi Arabian residents pay 45 cents for a gallon of gasoline. In Kuwait, the cost is 81 cents/gallon. Venezuela is a ridiculous 6 cents a gallon; a result of government subsidies. Recent U.S. prices range from a low of 3.16 to 4.26/gallon. The International Energy Agency is forecasting that the United States will become the worlds leading oil producer by 2017 which should move us away from our dependence on foreign oil. Does this mean a reduction in cost for Americans? During President Obamas State of the Union Address on July 24, 2012, he stated that U.S. oil production is the highest it has been in the past eight years and the U.S. is relying less on foreign oil than it has in the past 16 years. President Obama truthfully reported that U.S. oil production has increased during each of his four years of being in ofce. What he neglected to mention, and was reported by the U.S. Oil Imports and Exports, plus data from the Energy Information Administration demonstrates, was, that the U.S. oil production increased at a similar rate during 2004-2008, a trend which began under President Bush. White House Advisors on August 30 reported that U.S. oil production is at its highest level in the past 17 years. CNN Opinion published an article titled: America, the Saudi of Tomorrow. They mentioned that the U.S. could be exporting more oil than Saudi as early as 2017. According to CBN World News, Saudi Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal was concerned that American shale oil production could become a threat to the Saudi economy. A number of articles were written mentioning that the Saudis are considering increasing oil production to drive the price of oil down to sixty dollars a barrel. You would think that this would be good news for the American businesses and citizens wouldnt you? Does that mean that our gas prices will fall closer to other oil producing nations? I doubt it. Why, because we are exporting oil which is good for the U.S. trade decit. Who is going to convince American oil companies to build reneries? Keep in mind, the few reneries we have can be shut down quickly by a major catastrophic event like a hurricane. This happened not long ago. We need modern reneries in safe locations. No matter what, gas prices wont drastically come down because of the greed of our oil companies. They want to maximize their prots and apparently none wants to build reneries. Also, our government wont provide subsidies like the other major oil producing nations. The benets of U.S. gasoline being stabilized at three dollars per gallon, my arbitrary price, would be a boon to our economy. The costs of shipping goods across the U.S. would cost less, in turn;

by Ron Penczak

Forty-Five Cents a Gallon for Gasoline

the costs of goods and food would be cheaper. It would be less expensive to commute to work. Airline tickets would be reasonable allowing more people to travel. Americans would have more discretionary money to spend and be able to enjoy the lifestyle we all want. American industry would invest in new equipment, hire new employees and improve our economy. Lower stabilized gas prices, I believe, would dramatically improve our economy. Isnt it time for President Obama, to do something more productive, instead of riding on the coattails of President Bush and continuing to pronounce that oil production has increased every year that hes been in ofce. Why cant he exert his inuence to convince the wealthy oil companies to spend some of their prots to build reneries? Why not keep some of this oil in the U.S. to stabilize the price of gasoline. Why not subsidize the price of gasoline like the other major oil producers do. I believe that most Americans dont expect our gas prices to ever return to three dollars a gallon, but I think most American businesses and citizens would appreciate gas being stabilized at a set price. That way American businesses and citizens could plan their budgets and plan for the future. Wouldnt that be a Win-Win for the United States and its citizens? In My Opinion is strictly an OP-ED column that stands on the opinion of one writer, Ron Penczak, as opposed to a newspaper reporter who does not provide an opinion but reports the facts. This column, in many instances, is a counterpoint to published stories and does not reect the unbiased reporting policy of the Salem Community Patriot or the opinion of the management, advertisers and ownership of Area News Group.

Congresswoman Kuster has recently introduced a bill (HR 3115) that would extend and expand the STEP program which would help boost small business exports for NH companies. My top priority in Congress is helping create jobs and opportunity for the middle class, and boosting small business exports is a key part of that goal, Kuster said. Companies

like Innovative FOTO have used STEP grants to expand their reach and send more of their products around the world. My legislation to extend and expand this important program will help even more Granite State businesses export their goods, create middle class jobs, and grow New Hampshires economy.

The visit was another of the congresswomans Congress at Your Company series of visits to New Hampshire companies. Innovative FOTO has recently been awarded a grant of the Small Business Growth Through Exports Act. The STEP program has benetted dozens of NH companies in helping to expand export, create jobs, and grow New Hampshires economy. Innovative FOTO has used their grant to travel to Chile where they have plans to expand their business in the near future. Innovative FOTO manufactures and operates more than 3,000 photo booths and photo kiosks around the nation and the world. You can nd their products at weddings, parties, malls and even Times Square.

The Salem building houses the company ofces, manufacturing, graphing artists, printers, and technical staffs. Formerly in Hudson they have been in the Salem ofce for seven years. Congresswoman Kuster was guided on a facility tour by Dale R. Valvo President/CEO of Innovative FOTO. During the tour the congresswoman had a chance to try out one of the photo booths, she was very impressed with the results. President Valvo made a point of saying that not only Salem benets from this company, but Derry and Auburn are homes to the companies that supply Innovative FOTO with some of the manufactured parts for their photo booths. And once a product is sold Innovative then is a supplier of ink and paper for the products. Further business and jobs for New Hampshire. As a global business, we have worked hard to bring our products to every part of the world, said Dale Valvo, President and CEO of Innovative FOTO.

Salem High School Completing SelfStudy for 10 Year Reaccreditation

submitted by Salem High School Salem High School is in the process of a self-study in preparation for the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) visit regarding the schools reaccreditation. Principal Tracy Collyer indicated that to become a member of NEASC, a school must meet the Committee on Public Secondary Schools Standards for Accreditation. The purpose of the self-study is to provide an opportunity for our professional staff to review all our educational programs, processes, systems, and practices to determine the degree to which our school meets those rigorous standards. A committee of professional educators, sent by NEASC, will review all materials prepared by the faculty in the self-assessment, visit classes, and talk with students, teachers, administrators, parents, and community members during their four-day visit to the school. Salem High School has been scheduled for a visit March 9-12, 2014. If you are interested in serving on a parent or community panel, contact Jan Radowicz at jan. radowicz@sau57.org. The New England Association of Schools and Colleges, founded in 1885, is the oldest accrediting agency in the country and is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as the sole agency to award accreditation to PreK12 schools, elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools in New England.

Next year, Bickford will be playing softball and possibly volleyball collegiately as she has already committed to St. Anselm College. There is little doubt, however, that Bickford will return to help her community just as she had throughout her tremendous high school career. But that is next year. Right now, Bickford is back on the Blue Devils court, basking in the adulation of her home crowd, following the announcement of her milestone. The Salem community that she has given so much to is giving back to her, as they applaud and cheer. The moment is hers. After all, she had earned it.

submitted by Barron School Grade 5 Team This has been a wonderful fall season, and a wonderful start to a new school year here at Barron. Grade 5 students worked very hard on NECAP testing, teachers are quite proud of their classes. Teachers have been attending workshops and using professional development time to create new units of study for Writers Workshop, Math Workshop, and Readers Workshop. The Common Core is our curriculum focus as we tie our goals for student reading, writing, and computing into new units of study. I hope you learned about our student farmers this fall. Students grew bean plants to observe the cycle of plant growth. Students drew notes as they watched their plants change and grow. You would be surprised how many fth graders were excited to eat a green bean. Science this quarter is about cells and microscopes, cycles of food and water moving through a plant, leaf creature creations, and fun learning new science vocabulary as we read and take notes. It will be nice to have some time to sit with you at Parent Conferences on November 12 to talk about the progress your child has been making. A schedule will come home soon for parent sign ups. See you soon.

submitted by Liz Sheedy It is hard to imagine the Haigh School students have almost completed the rst quarter of the 2013-2014 school year! It seems like just yesterday students were welcomed attending the annual Welcome Back Cookout and the grand opening of our new playground equipment. It has been just over a year since the wooden playground structure located behind Haigh School was set on re and consequently destroyed. As the news of the playground re traveled throughout the Haigh School community fundraising activities were held and donations began pouring in. The entire Haigh School Community is extremely grateful for all the support the community has extended. Without these generous donations, the students at Haigh School would not have started the school year with this fabulous new playground equipment! Special thanks go out to Canobie Lake Park, The Mortgage Specialist, Inc., Salem Youth Soccer and RE/MAX Insight. Changes for Haigh were not just on the outside of the school, but on the inside as well. The rst day of school had students wondering where our school library had gone. It did not take long for them to realize it had relocated, received a fresh coat of paint, brand new carpeting, shelving, new computer stations and a circulation desk. In the blink of an eye September turned to October and Haigh students were gearing up for our fall activities. Students have been participating in a Get Active Get Fit Challenge.

Depot Business Owners Could Lose Property to Road Widening

by S. Aaron Shamshoyan Reconstruction of the depot intersection could leave some business owners without a facility as widening would be necessary to accommodate new dedicated left turn lanes. Plans to reconstruct the intersection of Route 28 and Main Street have been in the works for over 20 years, but changes could be coming soon after selectmen approved a plan to move a proposal into the design phase. The board heard a presentation Monday from Martin Kennedy and Greg Bakos of Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc., detailing two plans to improve depot trafc ow. The rst plan called for widening of Route 28, adding a left turn lane both north and south of the intersection. The plan also called for a short sidewalk along the west side of the road. Route 28 would only be widened on the west side, Bakos said, noting businesses such as Daisy Cleaners, Kian Taekwondo, Sugar and Spice Bake Shoppe, along with the Allegra Printing Plaza would see the biggest impact. He said some those properties would most likely have to be purchased if the project is completed. The extra lane would require an estimated 11 to 12 feet beyond the existing roadway to be completed. The second plan would increase the road width further on the west side to make room for a potential median. Bakos said a median would add close to seven feet in additional width and increase the probability some buildings would need to be removed. A larger plan for additional intersections diverting trafc around the depot would come as part of phase two, and eventually the stripped median would be lled in. Drivers would not be able to make left turns to access businesses in the area of the median, but would use turn-around areas. The immediate plan here is to come in and x the depot intersection, Kennedy said about the current capacity limitations. Kennedy urged selectmen to seek space for the future median, saying it would be useful in the future. Selectman Michael Lyons raised concerns businesses could be impacted by the median. Kennedy said it could still be crossed when stripped but a physical median would reduce accessibility. Selectman Stephen Campbell raised concerns about the project cost. He said taking private property for the project could skyrocket costs. He said research showed him just one small building in the area was worth close to $500,000. He suggested making the least possible width adjustment in order to reduce private property impact. Chairman Everett McBride recommended the impact be reduced by eliminating the proposed sidewalk on the west side and also the median. If you dont have a sidewalk, you dont abut the building, he said. Kennedy responded saying the intersection could be too close to the buildings front and would not be permissible. Daisy Cleaners Owner Jim Desjardins spoke on the potential for his building to be taken for the project. I can very easily nd another location, he said, noting it was important to have the intersection function properly. People avoid the area because of trafc. Desjardins also serves as the vice chair of the Depot Redevelopment Committee. He said the group of business owners voted unanimously to approve the plan if it meant improvement for the intersection. Selectman James Keller recommended the rst plan but not construct the sidewalk and leave space for either a future median or sidewalk. The motion passed 4-0-1 with Selectman Patrick Hargreaves obtaining. Kennedy said the plan will now nish the engineering phase and designs will be created. He anticipated bids could be requested in 2015. Town Manager Keith Hickey said the study has been funded from trafc impact fees and could be refunded by up to 80 percent from the state.

Derry Imaging Center Celebrates National Radiologic Technology Week with Donations to NH Food Bank and Local Soup Kitchens
submitted by Derry Medical Center The radiologic technologists at both the Derry and Windham locations of Derry Imaging Center are celebrating National Radiologic Technology Week November 3-9, in an unusual way this year.

by Jacob Gagnon They were down, but not out. The Salem High Schools Boys Soccer squad hosted Londonderry High School in the rst round of the NHIAA Division I Playoff Tournament on Thursday, October 31. After nearly 65 minutes of play, the Blue Devils found themselves in a 3-0 hole. To dig themselves out of it, Head Coach Anthony Karibian knew that his team would have to dig deeper within. That is exactly what the Blue Devils did. There is no team in the state that has this much heart, said Karibian. At three goals down, you lie down and die. But these boys fought hard and took it to them. The Lancers scored to break open the score with ve minutes left in the half. A few minutes later, Londonderry struck again as the rst half wound to a close. Salem could not capitalize on opportunities in the rst half and remained scoreless. With their season on the line, the Blue Devils understood that they would need to play a better second half. Salem took another blow as, just minutes into the rst half, Londonderry scored again to take the 3-0 advantage. Despite returning to the eld with more aggression in the second half, Salem could not nd the net until there were only thirteen minutes left of regulation time. Andrew Doucette scored an unassisted goal to revitalize the Salem community, weathering the storm outside, to support their team. Minutes later, it was Doucette scoring again thanks to an assist from Todd Righini to cut the lead to one. Playoff drama unfolded in the nal minutes of the game as both teams had opportunities to score with neither team prevailing. The Blue Devils played fearlessly as they pushed, prodded and pressed the Lancers to their absolute limit. He (Doucette) did a ne job and Todd Righini played well. Righini created a lot of chances for us and worked hard. said

Boys Soccer Mounts Comeback, Falls in Overtime

seen in Salem history. These guys have spirit that Ive never seen in a Salem High team. The Lancers continued to reel in the overtime period. Londonderry played, in the rst moments of overtime, like stunned boxers who had gotten surprised with an uppercut. The Blue Devils had a couple of early scoring opportunities that they could not put away. Londonderry booted a shot that passed just over the goalkeepers head and bounced into the net to win the game and end Salems solid season and terric comeback. We were unlucky in overtime, said Karibian. We had two chances early on where we could have put them away but they got the lucky bounce. Thats the way sudden victory goes. Its sudden. Salem High nished with a 10-6 regular season record. Despite the strong regular season, it was difcult for the Blue Devils not to be disappointed with an early postseason loss. We came up a bit short, said Karibian. But overall, I think the season was a positive experience. Its the best result weve had in the past ten years. The Blue Devils will lose a handful of special seniors following Staff photo by Jacob Gagnon this season. Not all of those seniors, however, have made their mark on the soccer eld. The leadership goes a long way. Salems Darren Righini looks to score in the second half of the Blue Devils playoff loss. There were guys that did not get into this game who are just as supportive and strong, said Karibian. One of those seniors, Karibian. Charlie Peters and Darren Righini, our captains, stood Max Wildfeuer, was seen helping a cramping teammate stretch up. You dont get that performance out of a team without excellent out following the defeat. Wildfeuer went over there and saw a leadership. Those two denitely stepped up their game. teammate who needed support. Thats a big deal, said Karibian. As the nal minute ticked off the clock, Andrew Fichera booted So while the season ended with a loss, the memory of this 2013 the ball in the direction of the Londonderry net. Doucette, once Salem High Boys Soccer team will be that of teammates who cared again in the right place, used his head to score his third and nal for, and helped, one another. Even in defeat, the Blue Devils had Salem goal to tie the game at three goals apiece. earned a different, but special, kind of success. We came out strong in the second half. We really put them under pressure, said Karibian. It was the best comeback Ive ever

Field Hockey Squad Drops Semi-Final Match to Pinkerton in Overtime

by Jacob Gagnon For the second straight season, the Salem High School Field Hockey team has fallen in the semi-nal round of the NHIAA Division I Championship Tournament. Once again, a valiant effort nearly carried the Blue Devils into the nals but Pinkerton Academy managed to capture the overtime victory, 3-2, on Tuesday, October 9 at Bill Ball Stadium to advance to the Championship match. We played and controlled part of the game. We had a number of opportunities but we just didnt capitalize on the chances we had in regulation and in overtime, said Head Coach John Gatsas. But I was very proud of our team and of the way they played all year and especially in the playoffs. After a rst round bye, the third-seeded Blue Devils hosted Merrimack High School. Salem advanced to the semi-nals on the power of another shutout victory from goalkeeper Meaghan Williams as they defeated Merrimack, 2-0. Meaghan Williams had a great performance in goal. For a kid that played goalkeeper for the rst time just this year, she had about nine shutouts for us, said Gatsas. She had a fantastic run for us this year. Salem was ready, days later, to take on the second-seeded Pinkerton Academy team. Against Merrimack, we did a really nice job moving the ball and did a lot of positive things. We felt really good going into the Pinkerton game, said Gatsas. Salem continued to feel good about their chances of earning a Championship nals berth up until the nal score of the game in overtime. Both Rachel Denning and Amanda Travaglini scored goals for Salem in the loss. I think it was just a team effort. Everyone contributed here and there. We had a number of different goal-scorers throughout the season. Everybody knew their role and did their role very well. I was happy with them (the team) all-around, said Gatsas. We grew a lot as the season went. The Blue Devils nished the 2013 season with a 13-3 record. Following this season, the Salem High squad is graduating 10 seniors from the team. While that is a tough reality to face, Coach Gatsas is optimistic that the developing athletes on the junior varsity team will step up in a big way in the coming seasons. We have some real nice kids coming up through our JV program. Im looking for another strong program next year. We just have to work hard at it, said Gatsas. Salems junior varsity squad nished runner-up in the JV Championship Tournament to Pinkerton Academy earlier this season. Despite the high hopes for the next class of student-athletes joining the program, the Blue Devils, and Gatsas, will not soon forget this team. These seniors are pretty special. Some of them played for seven years together so they had a pretty good bond together. They were a tight team so they had a lot of good memories off the eld also, said Gatsas.

Football Team Finishes Season with Decisive Victory in Londonderry
by Jacob Gagnon Last year, the Salem High School Football season ended with a whimper. This year, the Blue Devils nished with a bang. Salem travelled to Londonderry High School to face the playoff-bound Lancers on Friday night, November 1. The Blue Devils had found their stride since the midway point of the season. Every week, it seemed, the Salem squad was delivering impressive performances on the gridiron as they showcased their perpetual improvements. Despite missing the cut for the postseason, Salems focus remained sharp. They stepped onto the Londonderry eld ready to prove themselves all over again. The kids played great and they played tough. We executed well so were thrilled, said Head Coach Bob Pike. It was a great win. Leading Blue Devil rusher senior Jason Martinez scored the rst touchdown of the game with a little over two minutes remaining in the rst quarter. Londonderry answered back with two minutes left in the rst half to tie the game. Despite the clock inching closer to the end of the half, Salems offense took to the eld with their eyes set on the end zone. Quarterback John Cerrentani took a big hit on a Lancer blitz but returned to the game moments later in time to toss a touchdown pass to classmate Jake Poore. There were seven seconds left in the half. Following a roughing the kicker penalty on Londonderry during an extra point attempt, Cerrentani converted a two-point attempt with a quarterback keeper to take a 15-7 lead at the half. Zach Luiapaka did a great job lead blocking and Jason (Martinez) is obviously a great runner. Jake Poore, at the end of that rst half, made some great plays and big catches at our end, said Pike. And up front, across the board, I thought we were great. Austin Ribaudo is doing a great job at guard for

us. We were impressed all the way around. Salem received the ball at the start of the second half but was forced to punt after only three plays. The Lancers brought the ball to mideld with a big pass but fumbled on the next play. The Blue Devils recovered on their own 37-yard line. With 58 seconds left in the third quarter, Salem struck again. This time, it was Josh Rodriguez who scored the rushing touchdown to extend the Blue Devil lead to 22-7. We keep getting better. Its a credit to them (the players). They keep working hard and we keep getting better, said Pike. Thats the name of the game. Im real happy with that. After a number of impressive defensive stops, Salem nished off the Lancers the same way they started: with a touchdown run from Martinez. Salem defeated the playoff-caliber Londonderry High School squad, 29-7. It was a tting nish to the regular season as Martinez, for the last two seasons, has been Salems most valuable player as well as a leader in all aspects of the game. According to Pike, the same can be said for the rest of the senior athletes that have led Salem this season. The seniors have been immensely important. They are the greatest group of kids. They lead the way with everything they do, said Pike. When I talk about continuing to get better, but that can be hard to do when you lose some games and they never quit. They have a great attitude and they just kept coming in to work, work, work and they are the reason we are in this position and getting better. Salem will play one nal game of the year on the eve of Thanksgiving at Grant Field against a Massachusetts squad. The Blue Devils never gave up and their diligence was rewarded by a secondhalf of the season performance that, had it happened earlier in the year, may have earned them a playoff berth. With Pike at the helm, they will only get better.
