Moving Forward Together at Relay for Life
by Jon Tripp
It has been more than a decade of
charitable giving as the 11th annual Relay For
Life event took place at Salem High Schools
Grant Field on Saturday, June 20. This was
the second year in a row that the Salem event
ran from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. instead of the
traditional overnight format.
Many local companies and organizations
formed teams, including Pentucket Bank,
Knights of Columbus, Kiwanis, the Salem
Democratic committee, Parkland Medical
Center, Liberty Utilities, Microsoft, Enterprise
Bank, Artistic Creations Salon, Salemhaven
and the Salem High School Junior AFROTC.
Once again, Canobie Lake Park provided
endless entertainment and MC services to
Artistic Creations team, Cutting For A Cure use every

advantage, big and small, to win the tug-of-war contest.
keep the volunteers active throughout the

day. Special appearances were made by
Canobies Petey the Parrot and the Studio of
Performing Arts in Atkinson.
By the close of the event, more than 40
teams had raised a preliminary total of over
$86,000 for the American Cancer Society.
Donations can still be made to your favorite
team or directly to the American Cancer
Society. For more information visit the
event website at: http://www.relayforlife.org/

Team captains are invited to attend the
Relay Wrap-Up celebration at the Knights
of Columbus hall on Tuesday, June 30, at
6 p.m. where the final total raised will be
announced.
Allyssa Peterson, Meagan Vater, Donna Lee Pelletier, Lauren Duggan, and
Olivia Gitschier made themselves some fancy masks for the Mardi Gras lap.

Salem High School graduated 318 students at a ceremony held
June 12 at Grant Field. The school itself is graduating with a $75
million renovation project and will begin a new phase of existence
as the Class of 2015 does the same.
Principal Tracy Collier in her opening remarks told the graduates
that no two high school experiences are the same, and she said
that she was proud of the class and reminded them that she had told
them three years earlier that high school would y by, in a blink.
Valedictorian Michelle Rheaume joked that the class had learned
the many meals that can be prepared from chicken patties.
In all seriousness, Salem High has provided us with countless
opportunities to learn and experience new things both in and out of
the classroom, Rheaume said.
Rheaume added that knowledge is a gift and we got just under
4,000 hours of it for free.
Logan Shore, co-Salutatorian, said that it is understandable
for people to feel sad around graduation, people are ending an
entire chapter of their lives however, this should be a time of
celebration. This is only the first chapter of our lives.
Shore then quoted Karl Marx.
As one of my favorite authors once said, Men make their own
history.
Alexis Warnick, the other co-Salutatorian, said that although the
high school has been the object of jokes because of all the repairs it
needs, within its walls are a group of dedicated teachers who really
know whats up.
Class President Michael Parisi said that of all things to remember,
family and friends are the most important.
I have spent countless hours doing school work and missed
time with the most important people in my life because of it.
Although you should always take care of your responsibilities first
and foremost, if in the coming years youve been locked up in your
room studying for an exam and your friends ask you to get some ice
cream, get the ice cream, Parisi said.

Salem High Graduates to Enter Next Chapter
Co-Salutatorian Logan Shore reassures graduates that

it is normal to feel sad at graduation, but that it is the
first chapter in their lives.
SHS Class President Michael Parisi takes a selfie of himself and grads.
Parisi then put action to his words of people being most important
by producing a camera on a selfie stick and taking a selfie of himself
with the graduates and families in the stands in the background.
Superintendent of Schools Michael Delahanty said that he also
learned something.
Twitter was launched in 2006 and has over 500 million users
worldwide. More than 2,800 of them follow my Salem School
District account. Something I learned recently is that you all can
reply to my tweets. But Ive read some of them, hash tag no diploma
for you. I may not be able to do anything, but underclassmen be
forewarned, Delahanty said.

Police and Fire Stations Air Quality Acceptable

but Other Issues Exist
by S. Aaron Shamshoyan
Recent tests of the air quality in the police and central fire station
determined no immediate threat was present to the health of
employees, but electrical, mechanical, and safety concerns will be
addressed.
Building inspections, ordered by the Salem Board of Selectmen
after the failure of a proposed public safety complex in March,
raised concerns about water-damaged areas of both buildings,
along with mechanical and electrical system concerns, but said air
quality was not an issue.
Both buildings were within the allowable limits, said Town
Manager Keith Hickey, adding there were no violations in the
facilities, but a list of suggestions was generated.
Leaks and water damage at the police department were
recommended to be repaired, helping to keep down mold.
The current HVAC units are also housed in the attic creating a
challenge to maintenance and nearly impossible to remove.
If they had to be removed, my understanding is that theyd have
to remove the roof, Hickey said.
An elevated moisture level at the fire department will also
require leaks to be repaired and the HVAC system to be
maintained, including straightening and cleaning duct work and
cleaning vents.
Hickey said the upstairs portion of the department, functioning
as offices and bunkrooms, was originally built as one large room,
and the heating and cooling system was not reconfigured to
properly maintain the climate in each room.

The attic doorway was recommended to be sealed off to prevent

particles from entering the air.
Hickey said leaks in the garage heating system could allow
exhaust leaks into the bays.
Neither building has been property maintained, Hickey said
about the two facilities.
Dated electrical panels could cause a problem in the police
department as the manufacturer shutdown following failed safety
tests.
The report by town Electrical Inspector Blake Miller states
Federal Pacific electrical panels are cause for about 2,000 fires
a year and went out of business after troubles with Underwriters
Laboratories.
Based on the age of the building and the lack of records
showing any testing of this equipment it would be highly advisable
to replace this service, the report states.
Its not something we have to close the building down for,
Hickey said about the problems. Its just a good example of the
shortcomings.
Selectman Michael Lyons said the repairs are important to make
since the replacement building was not in the immediate future.
We need to be planning to be in these buildings now for at least
the next 10 years, he said.
The board directed the police and fire departments to obtain
estimates to make the repairs and service systems, which will be
reviewed before adding into next years operating budget.
David Ross of Atkinson, president of the Merrimack Valley Beekeepers

Association, speaks to the Salem Historical Society on the issues facing bees.
5 x 4.5 columns
by Jay Hobson
The Salem Historical Society hosted a presentation by Atkinson
resident and Merrimack Valley Beekeepers Association President David
Ross about the dwindling number of bees.
He said that with the increased use of pesticides, herbicides and
diseases that strike bees, the number of honey bees is being reduced.
Rosss passion for beekeeping began in 2000 when he came across a
beekeeping exhibit at the Topsfield Fair.
In every hive there is one queen, many drones and even more
worker bees. All the work of the hive is done by worker bees which
are female, and the drones are there for the queen and basically just sit
there and are stingerless. So if a bee stings you, it was a female worker
bee, Ross explained.
Ross said that the area covered by bees from one hive can be
between a two-and-a-half to three-mile radius.
Bees love clover and dandelions, and homeowners wanting a
greener lawn are spreading herbicides that kill the very plants that bees
love, Ross said.
Along with the use of herbicides on lawns, pesticides that kill bees
are also a problem.
Ross explained that worker bees will go out and find places that
have areas where there is pollen and return to the hive and tell the
others and then return to the owers with the other workers with them.
The modern hive, he said, has panels that are removable, and the
bees create cells within it and deposit the manufactured honey. The
panels can then be removed and the honey harvested along with the
beeswax that makes up the cells.
There are a lot of environmental stresses, but bees are surviving.
They do replenish every year, and they have a natural tendency to
swarm and the queen wants to put out a lot of babies, but it is a tough
go right now, Ross said.
According to Ross, research is showing improvements in proper pest
management and in beekeeping practices.
With all that we are trying to do, we are
learning, but it is touch and go right now, he said.

Injuries Send
Motorcyclists to
the Hospital
submitted by Salem Police Department
On Friday, June 12, at approximately 9 p.m., the
Salem Police responded to a motor vehicle crash
on Lawrence Road near Mary Queen of Peace
Church. The crash involved two motorcycles and
a pick-up truck.
The operators of the motorcycles, Thomas
Beaulieu and Ghislain Dumont, suffered serious
leg injuries and were transported to Lawrence
General Hospital. Beaulieu was later medighted to Beth Israel Hospital.
The initial investigation revealed that the
operator of the pick-up truck, James Manning, was
traveling south on Lawrence Road. Beaulieu and
Dumont were traveling north. Beaulieu crossed
the centerline into the southbound lane and struck
Mannings vehicle. Dumont, who was traveling
behind Beaulieu, laid his motorcycle to the
pavement. Manning was not injured.
The Salem Police Traffic Accident
Reconstruction team was called to the scene and
continue to investigate the crash. It appears that
alcohol and speed may have been contributing
factors.

Impaired Driver Charged

with DWI after Accident
At approximately 6:36 p.m. on Sunday, May 24, Salem
Police and Fire responded to a motor vehicle accident
with injuries at the intersection of Route 111 and Ermer
Road. Upon arrival officers were able to determine
a 2011 Kia operated by Ramon Suero, 49, of North
Andover, Mass., was traveling south on Ermer Road and
was attempting to cross over Route 111 when he was
struck by a 1998 Chevrolet, operated by Jared Brouillard,
35 of Derry, who was traveling east on Route 111. Two
people were transported from the scene with minor
injuries, including a 13-year-old female passenger from
Sueros vehicle.
Through their investigation, officers determined
Suero was impaired and took him into custody under
the suspicion of Aggravated Driving While Intoxicated.
Suero later submitted to a breath test which revealed a
blood alcohol level of .27%, more than three times the
legal limit. He was processed and released on $10,000
personal recognizance bail. He was scheduled to be
arraigned in the 10th Circuit Court District Division/
Salem on June 10.

Parenting your Parents

is Never Easy
by Paula Faist MS, LSW,
Silverthorne Adult Day Center
Any thoughts on working with siblings when it
comes to caring for our parents? Steve, Salem
Steve this is a great question and I hope my
remarks will be helpful.
Providing care for your parents can be full of
challenges and complications. When you add
siblings to this challenge, a caregiving role can
become even more complex. The extra support
may be very helpful,
but also a source of
stress. You and your
siblings are all going
through many various
emotions.
On top of these
feelings, may be
some underlying
emotions from your
childhood. As siblings you all had a role whether
you were the oldest or the baby of the family.
These roles may now need to be re-looked at.
Times have changed and the needs of your parents
have changed as well. You may think your baby
sister is less capable, or is a freeloader, or will be
less helpful to help care for your parents, because
thats the way she always was. But you may lose
out on help if you dont sit down and talk.
As The Family Caregiver Alliance states
parents create labels and roles for each child,
and everyone in the family tends to adapt them.
Whatever the reason for these roles, it is now time

to re-examine them. It is important to accept
your siblings and your parents as they are, not
who they once were. You need to ask yourself
what you really want and need from your siblings.
There is so much that can fray sibling relationships
such as unpaid bills, or why one of your siblings
may be more interested in preserving future
inheritance than making sure your parents have
their needs addressed as they arise.
If you can have your
parents talk to the entire
family, sooner than
later, about their end of
life wishes, that would
be the best first step.
Disagreements may
occur & conict may
develop, so having a
third objective person to
facilitate a family discussion may also be helpful.
It is not easy to now be parenting your parents.
But, with time, open communication and seeking
out help from others you will hopefully be able
to assist your parents with maintaining a positive
quality of life in their golden years.

Letters to our Editor
Look Beyond Partisan Disputes, Renew

Medicaid Expansion
Despite the fact that Republicans and Democrats alike have praised the
success of Medicaid Expansion in NH, the Republican-controlled Senate has
decided not to continue the program and did not include funding for it in
the 2016 budget.
The truth is that nearly 40,000 more people have gained access to health
care under the expansion program which, according to the New Hampshire
Hospital Association, led to a 22% reduction in uninsured emergency
room visits. Fewer uninsured patients reduce healthcare costs for everyone.
Medicaid Expansion also helped create more competition in the healthcare
market, offering greater access to mental health and substance abuse
treatments.
I urge Senators and Representatives to look beyond partisan disputes
and renew the Medicaid Expansion program. It helps those who cannot
afford health insurance and it will reduce costs for those who already pay
high insurance rates. In other words, Medicaid Expansion is good for New
Hampshire and thats what we all care about. Right?
Carla C Billingham, Salem
How do We Fight a Faceless Sniper?

If there was a threat to the people of our country in which a terrorist
sniper were killing one after another after another, we would certainly raise
our security forces to a higher alert and counter this threat immediately. If
enough were lost to that sniper, we might even become fearful enough to
pray for Gods protection, much like we did after 9/11/2001.
Well, it is happening! Some faceless killer is picking off our young men
and women one after another and we feel helpless in our effort to protect
them. Statistics still being compiled for 2014 indicated that at least 321
died that year in NH due to drug overdoses. A quick perusal of the police
log in our local newspaper shows a multitude of young people in their 20s
and 30s being pulled over and ticketed for DUI. Can anyone deny that our
young people are fighting a war and ... that theyre losing.
A recent headline in a daily paper quoted the grandmother of a young
19 year old who died in a car crash after taking heroine. She said, she
didnt love herself ... even though an outstanding student, a very talented
young lady, she had every reason to feel good about herself. Consider the
74 recent graduates of Phillips Academy. Children of some of the wealthiest
families, they had the privilege of studying in one of the best academies in
the country yet their first decision after graduation was to break the law and
drown themselves in alcohol.
At a recent substance abuse forum at the Salem NH High School, parents
poured out their hearts, admitting that they were blind-sided by the attack
within their own family, often not even knowing there was a problem until
their child was in the grip of drugs or alcohol. One mother demanded that
the police do something to put a stop to this but its not that simple, is
it? By the time the police get involved, the son or daughter is often already
tightly in the grip of the addiction.
So how do we fight this faceless sniper that is picking off our young
people one by one? First of all, we have to insure that they are strong
enough to resist the attacker. If they dont know who they are or why theyre
on this earth, they are immediately vulnerable to the lure of the high or
the feel good experiment. But if they see themselves as a beautiful, unique
creation who has a specific purpose for being here, then they will nurture
and protect themselves from that which would harm them. Our enemy,
our sniper has many faces ... and none. In order for us to defeat this enemy,
we have to be stronger than the enemy. Scripture says, ... you are from
God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who
is in the world. There are forces in our nation, our world that are trying
to eliminate or hide this truth from us. We are Gods special creations to
whom He has given all that we need to live life to the fullest without
buying into the counterfeit promises of substances that will enslave us.
Our Savior, Jesus Christ, has revealed to us that we are loved totally and
unconditionally as Gods children and this is the Truth that sets us free! We
need only claim that truth!

Heres a two-part panacea against all the right wing balderdash

continuously filling our media airwaves in their ongoing anti-American
war against President Barack Obama. This is a man and an administration
who have delivered almost exactly as promised back on Jan. 20, 2009. Its
doubtful that even Obama expected the incredible amount of negative
ferocity and anti-citizen voting that he wound up receiving from the
Republican congress, a group that did its best (unsuccessfully, thankfully)
with every anti-job bill vote and Big Business cave-in to scuttle the nations
recovery from our near-Depression.
But maybe a comparison utilizing actual figures instead of the detritus
drooled out daily from the Buchanans, Limbaughs, Savages, et al, is in order
to set the record straight. For open-minded people who dont get their
current events, health and science tips and ideology from Hate Radio and
FOX News, here are some numbers to digest.
NYSE Stock Market: On Obamas Inauguration Day our careeningto-the abyss Dow Jones closed at 7,949, fueled by rampant job loss and
the unregulated Big Business scandals that rocked the last four years of the
George W. Bush catastrophe. Last week (June 17) the closing number was
18,101, far more than double the figure the Obama administration inherited.
The main reason for the six-plus year bull rally from the Bush recession was
the many federal/state job creation programs that the president and the
Democrats pushed through during his first two years in office. Surely you
remember all the hatred espoused in every quote and vote from Senate GOP
head Mitch McConnell, House Speaker John Boehner and their ugly troops
as they railed against and denigrated every Democrat job initiative back
then, in favor of their own Quixotic aim to actually lower Big Business taxes
still more during the recession? How about all the laughter that initially
greeted Obamas shovel-ready jobs programs? And lastly dont ever forget
the truthless canard that continues to be pushed to this day by much of the
conservative voter base that our economy is still in the hopper.
Job Creation: When Obama took the reins America had been bleeding
hundreds of thousands of jobs monthly for the prior two years, with nothing
being done by the Bush administration to attempt to stem the tide. We can
blame his lie-based, murderous Iraq invasion that he was supervising for
this, as America domestically and internationally sank lower and lower while
the casualties of our US troops and innocent Iraqis mounted higher and
higher. The Halliburtons, Blackwaters and our oil companies had a field day
printing money for themselves during that disgraceful period, as lives and
two nations were sacrificed for both the financial enrichment of our installed
corporations along with the grudge Bush had against Iraqi despot Saddam
Hussein. But the rest of our domestic economy, along with millions of jobs,
went straight to hell.
In May America celebrated its 63rd straight month of positive job creation
with 280,000 new jobs generated nationally. And the unemployment rate,
7.8% back on Jan. 2009 held at 5.4%, a number bested in Europe only
by Denmark, Switzerland and Norway. Wages are finally beginning to rise
along with the improved employment, a private enterprise statistic (like
gasoline prices) that the federal government has little control over anyway.
Note: One of the supreme ironies in the economic argument is the carping
conservatives do every time raising the federal minimum
wage is suggested (unless of course theyre working for
that wage), while simultaneously bemoaning the fact that

The Essentials of Climate Change

The key ideas involve the causes of climate change, involvement of
humans, what can be done to lessen the impact of climate change and what
should be the role of government.
Anecdotal evidence of climate change is all around us. California is
involved in a thousand year drought, massive floods in Texas, Boston buried
in 112 inches of snow and New Hampshire temperatures lower than Alaska.
The common denominator in these weather extremes is a change in the jet
stream which most scientists say is traceable to global warming. It may seem
contradictory to talk about global warming after this past winter but the
exceptionally cold weather was a result of the change in the jet stream which
brought in cold air directly from the North Pole as well as the jet stream
pattern becoming stable for long periods of time.
So why is the planet warming?
The earth has gone through periods of warm and cold for millions of
years, but the current warming is taking place over decades much faster than
ever recorded before. The culprit in this warming is greenhouse gases which
trap solar radiation from escaping back into space. Carbon dioxide is the
most plentiful greenhouse gas produced as a byproduct of burning fossil
fuels. Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere have increased from 280 to
379 parts per million in the last 250 years. The heat trapping carbon dioxide
is accelerating the melting of the polar ice caps raising the ocean levels and
making sea level cities such as Boston and New York more susceptible to
flooding. The decreasing polar cap also allows for more solar radiation to be
absorbed by the earth further aggravating global warming.
Solutions to global warming are centered around developing alternate
energy sources that do not depend on burning fossil fuels such as wind
power, geothermal, and solar. Second generation nuclear energy is also
a possibility provided the waste issue can be resolved. Another way to
significantly impact the use of fossil fuels is battery technologies and fuel cell
use to power automobiles.
Government involvement should involve seed money to develop new
technology. Tesla Corporation is making significant progress in developing
battery technology for their cars made possible by government loans under
President Obamas Stimulus program in 2009. This half billion dollar
loan has been repaid in full five years early while Tesla developed its award
winning Model S electric car.
It would seem that the Democratic Party, specifically President Obama,
Secretary Clinton, Secretary Kerry, and the other Presidential candidates
believe that climate change is real and must be addressed sooner rather than
later. Protection of the environment has always been a policy pillar for the
Democratic Party. The Clean Air and Water Acts and robust funding of the
EPA have been enthusiastically supported by Democrats through the years.
The Republicans would seem to be substantially behind on this issue.
They have no plan to deal with climate change and most of the presidential
field confuse opinion with scientific evidence rejecting climate change as
speculation and not fact.
Hopefully we will see the critical issue of climate change addressed by all
candidates in the coming presidential and congressional elections.

Ebola Scare Versus Gun Violence

Last summer during the height of the Ebola crisis, the country was
gripped in fear and elected officials were filling the newscasts clamoring that
something should be done. They demanded that the borders should be
closed, heath workers should be quarantined and they generally worked the
public into a fevered pitch.
In the end the only person who died in the US was someone who had
contracted the disease in Africa.
Contrast that statistic with the fact that 30,000 people will be killed by
guns in the United States this year. Just over the past few months we had
an alleged wife abuser in NH have his guns returned to him and his wife
winding up killing herself and her two young daughters.
We have 14 and 15 year olds riding around on bicycles in Boston
shooting and killing each other.
This month, we read about a three year old in Cincinnati who reached
into his mothers purse, took out her pistol and killed himself.
In Waco, Texas, two gangs of motorcyclists went on a Stand Your
Ground shooting spree in a restaurant in which 11 were killed.
And last week a 21 year old racist shooter killed nine people at a Bible
Study meeting at a church in Charleston, S.C.
The big difference between the Ebola scare and deaths from gun violence
is that you wont hear from elected officials. They will keep their heads down
waiting for this latest incident to pass and for the public to forget about it.

On Tuesday, June 23, at approximately 9:27 a.m., Salem police
detectives responded to the Red Roof Inn after being notified
by hotel management of possible drug activity. Upon arrival,
detectives spoke with hotel staff. Red Roof Inn staff subsequently
advised that just prior to contacting the
Salem Police, two hotel housekeepers
observed a German Shepherd dog
walking around the second oor of
the inn. One of the housekeepers
recognized the dog as belonging to the
guest staying in room 221. When they
approached the dog it ran away.
The housekeeper then went to room
221 to notify the dog owner. Once at
the room, the housekeeper observed
the door was open and bathroom light
Charles Leroy Barcus
was on. The housekeeper entered the
room in an attempt to notify the owner and looked in the bathroom.
The housekeeper did not

locate anyone in the room,
however, but did smell a
strong odor of marijuana
and a large black trash
bag in the tub. The
housekeeper immediately
exited the room and
awaited for Salem police
arrival.
Upon arrival, detectives
immediately smelled a
strong odor of marijuana
from outside the room.
At the same time, the room occupant pulled up in his vehicle.
The room occupant identified as Charles Barcus, 62, of Conway,
admitted he had marijuana in the room and gave consent to the
detectives to search the room. Located in the room were over 20
pounds of marijuana, as well as $106,000 in U.S. currency.
Barcus was subsequently taken into custody by Salem detectives
Obituaries
and formally booked at police headquarters on a Possession of

Controlled Drug with Intent to Distribute charge. Barcus was
arraigned at Salem District Court at 12:30 p.m. He was held on
$50,000 cash bail with a source of funds hearing if he is able to
make bail. Barcus is scheduled for a probable cause hearing at
Salem District Court on July 1.

Mary-Rae Sirois
Mary Rae Sirois, 52,
died suddenly June 16,
2015 at the Colonial
Poplin Rehabilitation
facility in Fremont,
N.H. Although her
death was unexpected,
Mary suffered for many
years with a debilitating
disease. Born in
Lawrence, Mass., MaryRae was the daughter of the late Vincent L. Sirois
and Rae (McGregor) Sirois. She is survived by
her sister, Susan Sirois, of Hampstead, N.H., and
many aunts, uncles and cousins as well as her
beloved dog, Maddie.
Mary-Rae grew up in Salem and graduated
from both St. Josephs School and Salem High
School. She was a graduate of the University of
New Hampshire, and worked as a Social Worker
for the Division of Social Services in Lowell,
Mass., for many years prior to her retirement.
Mary-Rae was a kind and generous soul,
not only to those that were close to her but to
everyone she came in contact with. Although
she never had children of her own, Mary
surrounded herself with the children of her
friends and family and was an intricate part
of their lives. She loved these children as if
they were her own and there was hardly ever

a time when she was not buying a birthday

card or a present for one of them or attending a
graduation, wedding or baby shower.
Mary-Rae had many wonderful friends and
family members that continually offered their
love and support for her. A recent highlight in
Marys life was being the maid of honor in her
best friends wedding. There was a Friends
of Mary-Rae group that not only gave of
themselves by visiting her and bringing her
places, they also held a fundraiser for Mary
when she needed financial assistance. Anything
Mary-Rae needed always seemed to appear from
one source or another. If wealth is measured by
the love, support and friendship of others, then
Mary-Rae was truly a rich person and will be
missed and remembered by many.
Burial services will be private.
A Celebration of Life will be held for MaryRae on Friday, July 24, from 6 to 10 p.m. at the

Lowell Driver Faces Negligent Homicide Charges in Deadly Car Crash
The front end of the Carter vehicle
Salem firefighters and EMS work to extricate Michael Gomez from

his Honda Accord.
by Bob Gibbs
A 26-year-old Lowell, Mass., man charged
with negligent homicide appeared before a
judge in Salem District Court on Monday,
June 22. Michael Gomez has been accused
of driving more than twice the posted speed
of 30 mph on the section of Route 28 in
front of the Salem Ford auto dealership.
His southbound Honda Accord struck the
vehicle of a Salem man as he was exiting
the car dealership.
Phillip Carter, 33, had just dropped off his
fiance at the dealership, when as he was
exiting the dealership, Gomezs car stuck
Carters Honda Civic just behind the drivers
side front wheel. The crash caused the Civic
to split in two, with parts of the car spread
out all over Route 28. Carter was ejected
from the car. Witnesses at the crash could
see that the drivers seat belt was torn from
the force of the crash.
Carters fiance, Melinda Nutter, and
a passing physician began CPR. Salem
EMS brought Carter to Lawrence General
Hospital where he has Medighted to
Massachusetts General Hospital. He died at
the hospital.
The Salem Police Traffic Accident
Reconstruction team was called to the scene
to investigate the accident. Route 28 was
closed for several hours from Hampshire
Road on the south side of the accident and
at Newbury Comics on the north side while
the accident was being investigated. The
Salem Police Department reported on June
22 that speed was considered a contributing
factor to the crash. Investigating officers are
awaiting the results of toxicology tests to
determine if drugs and/or alcohol may also
have contributed to the collision.
Witnesses and police at the scene
estimated that Gomezs Honda Accord was
going over 70 mph. While Gomez was
removed from his vehicle and taken to the
hospital, he only had minor injuries and was
discharged later that evening.
Police said that they had seen many
crashes on the highway, but none matched
the destruction of this crash.
If found guilty of the charge of negligent
homicide Gomez faces up to nine years in
prison.

Every basketball player knows about the game HORSE. For those
who dont, its a game where you take a shot from a particular spot

In skateboarding its the same thing. But, instead of taking shots

with a basketball, you do a skateboarding trick that involves the
ramps and obstacles of the skateboarding park.
NOTB hosted the Chris Cole-sponsored skateboarding HORSE
tournament this past weekend at Hedgehog Park. Skaters from all
over the area showed up for a day of boarding and friendship.
With tricks such as the kickip, heelip, 360-ip, 1080, and
Benihana, these skateboarders took it to each other on the ramps
and railings. Flying through the air, the skateboarders did stunts
that amazed the others. Often the riders landed on their feet. Just
as often they did not. Sometimes the falls were as amazing as the
stunts. Each time the boarders got up and shook it off to go again.

Salem CERT Participates in NH Emergency

Preparedness Conference
submitted by Pam Marchand
On Wednesday, June 10, the Salem CERT Group attended the
11th annual NH Emergency Preparedness Conference sponsored
by the NH Department of Health and Human Services and the NH
Department of Safety. Nearly 1,000 people attended this event at
the Radisson Hotel in Manchester.
CERT members attended sessions on the State of NH improved
local Emergency Operations Plan, incident management, crisis
communications, sheltering, personal preparedness and disaster
recovery. The Salem CERT leader, Elliot Fair, who has attended
all 11 conferences, said the event offered a great opportunity to
meet emergency planners from across the state and to talk with
local experts. In addition to Elliot, Fausto Molinet representing
the Salem Citizens Corps as well as Salem Fire Chief Paul Parisi,
Bob Hansen, Gail Coleman, Linda Simmons, Carol Sullivan and
Sean McComiskie attended several informational sessions and will
present the information from the conference at our monthly CERT
meeting.
Salem CERT is a local community volunteer organization that

was formed in 2007. Members are trained to become additional
resources in the event of an area wide emergency. Training
includes basic first aid, CPR and AEDs, searching for missing
people, traffic control, electrical safety, emergency shelter
operations, and many other areas. Using the training learned in
the classroom and during exercises, CERT members can assist
others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event
when professional responders are not immediately available to
help. Training is provided by professional organizations like Red
Cross, Firemans Academy, FEMA, etc. There are over 2,500 CERT
groups across all states.
Salem CERT meets on the second Wednesday of every month
from 6 to 7 p.m. at the ADP facility on Northeastern Boulevard
in Salem. The CERT group is always looking for more volunteer
members. Learn more by visiting its website (https://salemnhcert.

Thanks for the Memories
Retiring Educators Move onto Lifes Next Chapter

submitted by the Salem Education Association
The Salem Education Association would like to acknowledge all
of the dedicated educators who are retiring from the Salem School
District this year and thank them for their years of service to the
children and families of Salem. The following teachers reected
on their careers and indicated what lies ahead for them in the next
chapter of their lives. We know the entire Salem community joins us
in wishing them all the best during their retirements.
Roberta (Bobby) Nelson is ending her 41-year teaching career at
Woodbury Middle School. Her favorite teaching memories were the
many wonderful trips she took with her students to Environmental
School and she will miss sharing her love of young adult novels
with her students. She will also miss her colleagues, many of whom
will remain lifelong friends. She says her future plans are not yet
determined, but she thinks endless summer would be nice.
Marcia Larason is leaving the Woodbury Middle School after
having taught for 32 years total. She doesnt have just one special
memory, but she recalls all the moments when she was able to
connect with and get through to a struggling student who finally has
the ah-ha moment when they were able to understand a difficult
topic. She also recalls helping students with the non-academic
strides that will make a difference for the rest of their lives. She will
miss the kids the most in her retirement. Her future plans are best
described as an adventure of a lifetime. She and her husband have
been restoring a 49-foot Hylas sailboat and they plan on sailing and
visiting the world! Their first voyage will be to the Caribbean and
future trips may possibly include South America, the Panama Canal,
Galapagos Islands, and/or French Polynesia.
Bonnie Saulnier has been an educator for 23 years, and she will
be leaving Salem High School after spending 21 years in our district.
Her special teaching memory was founding and working with her
students as the Salem High School Humane Society. She and her
students volunteered at the SARL and the MSPCA. She says what she
will miss most about the teaching profession is the vacations and her
future plans are to move to Arizona.
Ann Jennison is retiring from Salem High School after teaching
social studies for 15 years. She previously taught history at UNH,

UNH-Manchester, and Granite State College. She says it wasnt
possible to narrow down to one special teaching moment as you just
never know how what you do every day is going to impact a high
school student in the long run. Therefore, her favorite memories
have come from the times when students who have graduated
years before reach out to her to let her know how they are doing
and what theyre doing with the knowledge they gained from her
teaching. Those moments, she says, are priceless. She will miss
the daily contact with her colleagues whom she describes as an
amazing group of smart, savvy, caring, and professional educators.
She will be keeping very busy in her retirement doing audiobook
narration for published authors, giving Native American Storytelling
performances, finishing the five novels shes been writing, and doing
historical/genealogical research and writing. Also, just for fun, she is
building a garden railroad with a 1930s New Hampshire farm theme
with her husband.
Frank Stewart has been a guidance counselor at Barron Elementary
School for the past 17 years, but hes been working in the district
for 23 years. In addition, hes been in the counseling field for well
over 30 years. Stewart recalls a special teaching moment that
occurred in a first grade classroom. He was giving a guidance
lesson involving the use of puppets as a teaching tool. After the
class, one young student approached him and asked what else he
did besides counseling. When Stewart inquired as to why he wanted
to know, the student asked, Do you have a real job? What he will
miss the most will be the many opportunities to inuence young
lives in a positive way as helping kids be the best they can be is very
rewarding. He will also miss the daily interaction with colleagues
and working on a team, whether it be to solve a problem or to
work on a creative project. Stewarts future plans include some fun
activities as well as future career plans but he hopes he can find a
way to combine both. Hell do a good share of traveling, reading,
and learning new skills. Some of his interests include technology,
high fidelity sound, and working around the house. But he also
derives satisfaction from being of service to others. He doesnt know
exactly what that will be, but hell take some

time to reect on it.
Susan Lilydale is retiring after 34 years
at Salem High School and 35 years as
an educator. Her fondest memories are
coaching winter track and chaperoning a
trip to Cancun, Mexico, with 25 high school
students. She states she will miss her fellow
teachers the most, especially Bob Carpinone.
Her future plans are to teach aerobics and
possibly do some tutoring at the college
level.
Janet Mulligan is retiring after 30 years
in the Salem School District. She began
teaching first grade at the Lancaster
Elementary School and has taught first as
well as fourth grade at the Walter F. Haigh
Elementary School. Without a doubt, she
states watching children make personal
and academic growth has been the most
rewarding moments of her career.
There is really nothing like seeing
the joy on a childs face when that
child has mastered a concept and
can explain it to others. She will
miss the daily experience of seeing
the world from a childs point of
view. She will also miss the camaraderie she has enjoyed with
her colleagues and friends in Salem. She states that we are truly
blessed as Salem is a wonderful place with wonderful educators and
families. Retirement will mean traveling the globe with her husband
and having more time to spend with family and friends. Although
it will be difficult for her to leave her friends and colleagues, she is
eager to embark on this new and exciting journey.
Great Job Grads!

Safety and Fun Go Hand in Hand at SHS Senior Safe Night
by Jon Tripp
Seniors spent the entire night with their friends in a
supervised and alcohol/substance-free environment at Salem
Highs annual Senior Safe Night on June 10.
During the first few hours, the students could be found
signing each others yearbooks, watching their video yearbook,
and enjoying snacks and pizza. After final check in, the rest of
the night was filled with food, games, star gazing, an inatable
obstacle course, a scavenger hunt, a photo booth, a DJ,
karaoke, a magician/hypnotist, and a special impaired-driving
simulation course. Volunteers helped supervise the nights
activities, while many area restaurants and stores provided
food and rafe items. As in previous years, Rockingham
Motors of Salem donated a reconditioned car to be rafed off
to one of the students who spent the night at the school.
Eric Wakim, Dan Farris, and Tim Craig sign yearbooks.
The Clix photo booth was a highlight of the evening for many,
including Olivia Redden, Abby Keith, Katie McDermot, Sabrina Hartnett,
Greg Casazza, and Rachel Morelle.

Get Lucky and Get Ready

for Some Fun
submitted by Salem Animal Rescue League
Meet Lucky. He is a very energetic young guy that
needs a lot of exercise; he loves to run around a big yard.
He excels at sitting before you, so just launch a tennis ball
down the yard for him to chase. Hes got quite the speed!
He is strong and still needs a little work on the leash.
Lucky needs an experienced owner that can teach him,
after all, he is a smart boy that knows basic commands.
He would do best in a home with no cats or other dogs
and preferably no small kids due to his size. Visit Lucky,
take him for a walk and get to know him a little better.
Come meet Lucky and all of the dogs waiting to find a
home at the Salem Animal Rescue League during our open
hours: Wednesday, 3 to 7 p.m.; Thursday, 2 to 7 p.m.; and
Friday, Saturday, Sunday, 12 to 4 p.m. SARL is always looking for dedicated volunteers to assist in caring
for our animals; if interested contact D.J. Bettencourt at djbettencourt@sarlnh.org.

Touch a Truck is a Big Hit at St. Josephs Spring into Summer Festival
St. Joseph Regional Catholic School hosted a Spring Into Summer Festival on Sunday, June 14, to benefit
the Saints Mary and Joseph Parish food pantry. Entrance to this event was free to the public, but donations
of canned goods were encouraged to support local food pantries. In four hours, about 400 people attended
and more than 100 non-perishable items were donated.
The festival featured a Touch a Truck event that included a variety of vehicles: antique cars, trucks,
four-wheelers, golf carts, a dune buggy, a Lamborghini race car, fire trucks, and police vehicles. It provided
hands-on fun for the entire family.
The Salem Community Patriots antique 1950

Dodge flatbed was the frame for many a drivers
picture during the Touch a Truck event. The
oogah horn was a big hit with many of the
children.

Department motorcycle during Touch a Truck at St. Joseph

Remembering Fireghters- continued from front page
Retired Manchester Fire Department Captain Skip Hebert

plays Amazing Grace.
A gathering of many of Salems retired firefighters

Bowlby, Firefighter Robert McPhee, and Firefighter Kevin P.
Stackpole.
The ceremony was held at the Firefighters Memorial at Pine Grove
Cemetery. It was well attended by the families of firefighters and
citizens of Salem who were there to show their respect for the people
that protect the lives and property of Salem.
The ceremony began with a group of firefighters marching into
position in front of the Firefighters Memorial. This was followed by
the honor guard presentation of the American ag. Once the honor
guard was in place, Nathan Clark gave the opening invocation.

Following the invocation, acting Fire Chief Paul Parisi made the
following remarks:
Each year on the second Sunday in June, we gather here at Pine
Grove Cemetery to remember those who came before us. The men
we are honoring here today were special people. They were special
because they spent part of their life helping their fellow citizen in
need. Some of these men were volunteers; others were paid on-call;

Thumbs down to Salems State Reps and

Forum. Bottom line is they are the ones who
control funding which is needed to address the
problem. They didnt show! And the current
budget proposal in Concord cuts, cuts, cuts
funding for health care.
perpetual war are most evil and should be their

focus.
Thumbs down. The front page article of

Wednesdays daily paper was about mothers
fighting back tears because the Salem Police
Department isnt educating their children on
the dangers of drugs. What are these parents
thinking? If they cant teach their own children
about drugs, teach them about right vs. wrong,
then they shouldnt be parents. In todays society
parents feel the need to be their childrens friends,
so the kids will like them. Take a hint, your kids
dont need to like you, they need to how to be
responsible and learn from you. Maybe you never
should have had these kids if you cant take the
time to teach them responsibility yourselves. Its
not the police, the teachers or anyone elses place
to teach them right from wrong. Thats a parents
job. Do your job!
Thumbs up to the blue heron ying around

Canobie Lake this weekend. Beautiful bird!
Thumbs down. Secret

meetings continue to be formed
by J. Keller and now it seems
to be SOP in the governance of
Salem. Cant stand the public
scrutiny Mr. Keller? Are you
afraid it might get out your plans
for higher property taxes? What
schemes are you planning?
Thumbs up to Steve Campbell for standing up

for the voters and taxpayers in Salem. Thumbs
down to Hargreaves, McBride and Lyons for
creating our new tyrant Keller in Salem.
Thumbs down to my neighbor whose pool

filter is located on the backside of his pool and
bordering the property line between our houses. I
think pools are great but you run the filter all night
long. On a cool night with our bedroom window
open we hear the constant hum all night long.
Please turn it off between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. Its
neighborly.
Thumbs down. Just paid my tax bill and we
should add two new property tax components. A
Keller tax and a Lyons tax. They might as well get
credit where credit is due. We need to recognize
that this duo is not getting what the residents of
Salem want. Thumbs down to them both.

Thumbs down to those who would start

a firestorm that damages the reputation of a

was never a petition to oust renters from this

community is very diverse. There are people from
Italy, Albania, India, Russia, etc., living here. The
community never has, nor never will discriminate
against any group of people. All who live here
are expected to follow the rules and regulations.
There is no reason to slander a whole community
when you have the facts wrong.

been the best of the best, not so. Welfare up,
crime up, drug use up, broken
families up, respect for the law
down. The country has become
a laughing stock for the rest of

RESIDENTIAL
Thumbs up/Thumbs down.

I am one of the old men at the
dump who was standing around
talking. You know its too bad
that we upset this person so
much, but lets hope that as he
grows older he has people that
he can talk to at the dump. Good friends are hard
to come by and you should always stay with them.
Oh, by the way, see you on Tuesday.
Thumbs down to the continued fraud and
money pilfering practiced by many Americans on
the Social Security Disability Fund. Most of us
know phonies receiving thousands of undeserved
dollars annually despite being perfectly healthy
to work, usually due to the common practice of
doctors signing off on them at every evaluation
period. The reserve will be financially depleted
next year and, ridiculously, one of the BandAids being discussed is borrowing from the
Retirement Trust Fund, the account that disburses
payments to actual retirees who contributed to
the program during their working years. Serious
auditing of people on SS disability separating
appropriate beneficiaries from the slackers is
warranted before siphoning off more of our tax
dollars to reward the do-nothings.
Thumbs up. The Legislature cannot pass laws
that govern people, only persons. A person is
defined as people who operate and function in a
regulated (licensed) activity. For example, most
people travelling on the roads are not persons

and yet others were full-time paid firefighters. But what they all had
in common is that they dedicated themselves to our community.
Firefighting isnt a job; its a calling. A vocation. Its not for the faint
at heart, and not for those without courage. In other words, its not
for everyone.

bravery has been accomplished. What he does after that is all in the

performed heroic acts; yet if you asked them about it they would
undoubtedly tell you they were just doing their job.
I would like to thank you all for taking time on a beautiful Sunday

about Hillary and the Seven Giant Lies.

Dodging recessed manhole covers, under Salems
multimillion dollar road resurfacing expense,

correction!

Further up the street, one half of a front yard looks

honor of Eleanors father, Firefighter Charles Lester Kimball, who
made the ultimate sacrifice 61 years ago, when he was killed in the

Monarchs Throw their First Calder Cup Party

player to hoist the Calder Cup
at the trophy presentation.
I think were a team that,
no matter whether were
facing adversity, whether
were winning or losing, we
stay pretty comfortable and
collected and were able to
play our game, LoVerde said
immediately after passing
the Calder Cup off to his
teammates.
The other goal scorer in the
clinching game was a player
who had only been on the
team since the end of April.
Eighteen-year-old winger
Adrian Kempe combined for
four goals in the last three
games of the finals, and the first-round
selection of the Kings in the 2014 draft
had eight goals total in the playoffs.
It was a great team. I heard a lot
about it. They were first in the league
when I came here, Kempe said when
asked about his initial thoughts when
joining the Monarchs during the stretch
run after completing his season in the
Swedish Hockey League. It was a really
good team, so I just tried to play my game
and learn this game when I got here. I
think I learned pretty quickly, and I think I
got better and better the whole playoffs.
In his first season as the head coach
in Manchester, Mike Stothers earned the
AHLs Coach of the Year after guiding
the team to the best record in the league
and capped the year off with his first
Calder Cup as a head coach. A former
Philadelphia Flyers prospect, Stothers
previously won the Calder Cup as a
player with the Maine Mariners.
When you look back at it now, it was
worth every mile that they skated and every bus trip that we took,
Stothers said. Ive been fortunate enough to be in this spot before
as a player. I just want to stand back and watch these guys enjoy it
Its the best feeling in the world.
We set it as a goal and it was a mission of ours way back when
we broke camp in LA, Stothers said. Weve been pushing hard,
and Ive been pushing hard, and you know what? They dont need
much prodding. This is a great group of guys.
When the Monarchs hoisted the 35-pound Calder Cup in Utica,
it added a new jewel to the crown of achievements by their NHL
affiliate, the Los Angeles Kings. LA has won the Stanley Cup in two
of the last four NHL seasons, but the franchise hadnt been affiliated
with a Calder Cup winner since the Springfield Indians won the
Calder Cup in 1974-75. The franchises only other Calder Cup win
came in 1970-71 when the Springfield Kings topped the Providence

Reds in a four-game sweep.

The AHLs championship trophy is named after the first president of
the league, Frank Calder. He served as league president from 1917
to 1943 and was credited with helping to expand hockeys popularity
among mainstream sports. The trophy has been awarded to the AHL
champion every year since 1938, and Manchester became the 31st
different city to win the Calder Cup.
The Kings will look to add another trophy to their collection next
season when the Monarchs play their inaugural season as a member
of the ECHL. In what essentially becomes a swap of players, the
Monarchs and the Ontario Reign will trade league affiliations. The
Manchester team will inherit the roster of a Reign team that advanced
to the Western Conference Finals in the Kelly Cup playoffs this season,
while Ontario will inherit most of the AHL players that made up the
Monarchs roster this year.
Earth Day Festival Makes

Environmental Awareness Fun
by Rhiannon Snide
Regina Andler has successfully earned her nickname as Salems
resident green girl after creating Salems fourth annual Earth
Day Festival. After moving to Salem a few years ago, Andler was
surprised to find that Salem hosted no variation of an Earth Day or
environmental festival; being a sustainability consultant, she felt
she had the right knowledge, experience, and connections to bring
about this much-needed event. The festival was held on June 6 in
Salems Field of Dreams and raised money for the Boys and Girls
Club of Greater Salem.
After only four years of hosting
the event it has grown to hold
over 25 eco-friendly vendors.
Those who attended the festival
could talk to and shop from
companies selling anything from
solar panels to eco-friendly beauty
products. To make the event more
kid-friendly the Boys and Girls
Club supplied a bounce house,
face painting, and barbeque;
while several local bands also
performed. This years festival
theme was recycling, so stations
were set up for residents to recycle
old eye glasses, ink cartridges,
and electronics. While the festival
is just a small step toward a
more eco-friendly world, Andler
hopes it will bring about more
environmental awareness in the
Salem community that can help
better the world.

The champagne was pouring down Patrik Bartosaks face and
soaking his goalie equipment, but it didnt seem to bother him.
The Czech Republic native, who speaks very strong English,
was trying to describe what it meant for his Manchester Monarchs
to win the first Calder Cup in franchise history. The magnitude of
earning the American Hockey Leagues equivalent of the Stanley
Cup not to mention the fact that the 22-year-old goaltender
orchestrated the best performance of his young career was too
much for Bartosak to articulate.
I have no words for this Unbelievable feeling.
Bartosak made a sparkling 31 saves in clinching game 5 of the
Calder Cup finals against the Utica Comets, lifting the Monarchs to
their first-ever league championship. The Monarchs, who had never
been to the AHLs championship round prior to this season, rolled
through the playoffs with a 15-4 record. They won 13 of their last
15 games before raising the Calder Cup at the Utica Memorial
Auditorium on June 13.
Unbelievable group of guys, unbelievable team, Bartosak said
after game 5. The rookie goalie entered the series in relief of AHL
wins leader J.F. Berube, who suffered a leg injury in game 3. The
greatest team Ive ever been on.
Jordan Weal was named the MVP of the Calder Cup playoffs
after tying teammate Michael Mersch for the most points in the
postseason with 22. His march through the playoffs, which
included eight multi-point games, propelled him into first place on
the Monarchs all-time list for points in the playoffs.
Weve been working so hard all year. We have such a great
group of guys, Weal said. To be able to win it with a group like
this its so much fun. We wanted this real bad.
The Monarchs scored two goals in the clinching of game 5. The
second goal, and eventual game winner, was fittingly tallied by
team captain Vincent LoVerde. It was only fair that the third-year
defenseman scored the game winner because the captain is the first

Matt Lavasseur and Colton Burnham jump for the

ball together against Timberlane.
by Jacob Gagnon
After 10 years of championship-caliber dominance and
18-straight wins this season, the Salem High School boys Volleyball
team finally found out what it was like to finish in second place.
The Blue Devils were defeated by Timberlane Regional High School,
3-1, in the championship game on Saturday, June 13 at Nashua
North High School.
Salem cruised to their eleventh straight championship finals
following a dominant, 3-0 victory over Windham High School in
the semi-finals. Pat Frydryck led with 11 kills. Colton Burnham
collected nine kills while Matt Lavasseur had nine kills in the
contest. Reed Grubbs earned 35 assists while also scoring 13
service points to propel the Blue Devils to victory.
Salem, led by Coach John Roemer, understood the challenge
before them in the Owls. Timberlane had become a force in the
division ranks over the last several seasons, challenging the Blue
Devils nearly every season for the championship.

Both teams returned to the gymnasium at Nashua North ready
to compete. On this day, in this season, it was the Owls, however,
who took command of the contest. Timberlane won the first match,
25-22 to set the tone for the evening. Salem rebounded with their
own victory, 25-22, before the Owls finished off the defending
champs in two straight sets, 25-19 and 25-21. Lavasseur and Danny
Nugent earned nine kills apiece. Frydryck collected eight kills.
Burnham recorded five blocks while Grubbs notched 30 assists,
eight service points, and one ace. Jake DiTorre finished with 22
digs.
After dominating for so long, the championship loss is humbling.
The best teams, however, find a way to come back after such
disappointments, reinvigorated and motivated to return to the top.
By this time next season, the Blue Devils will no doubt be ready to
reclaim their crown.

Boys Lax Setting Tone for the Future

by Jacob Gagnon
While the Salem High School boys Lacrosse squad made
a disappointingly early exit from this years NHIAA Division I
Championship Tournament, the Blue Devils season was another
big step in the right direction.
Salem finished the season with an 8-10 record and ninth place
in the Division I rankings. The record is a high for the program,
surpassing the previous best mark of 7-11 in 2011 when Salem had
made the playoffs for the first time. This year was only the second
time that the Blue Devils had earned a postseason berth.
A number of players led Salem offensively this season. Andrew
Phillips, a senior co-captain, scored 23 goals with 15 assists.
Classmate Tim Craig collected 25 goals with 12 assists. Freshman
Drew Hailey scored 19 goals with ten assists. Senior Jake Burns
notched 15 goals with eight assists, while classmate Ryan ONeil
finished the year with 10 goals and six assists.
At the end-of-the-year awards banquet, Phillips was named as
the teams Most Valuable Player. Senior Sam MacDonald received
the Defensive MVP Award. MacDonald also earned honorable
mention in Division I for his outstanding defensive play all season.
Craig was given the Coaches Award, while Evan Phair, the teams
goalie, received the Sportsmanship Award.
I wish we had more awards to hand out because we had
another handful of guys who really contributed to our success this
season, said Coach Robert Ruppy Hailey.

The Blue Devils traveled to face Nashua South High School on
June 3 in the first round of the NHIAA Division I Championship
Tournament. Earlier in the season, Salem had fallen to the
Panthers, 14-5. According to Hailey, the team had watched a lot
of film on their opponents while the coaching staff had drawn up
a game plan with the hopes of closing the gap between the two
squads. The game plan worked well early on, as the score was
knotted at 4-4 with just three minutes remaining in the first half.
Nashua South managed to score three quick goals to take the 7-4
lead at the half. It was a deficit that Salem would not overcome as
they eventually fell to the Panthers, 9-6, ending their season.
Drew Hailey scored three goals with an assist in the game while
Phillips had a goal and two assists. Craig chipped in with a pair of
assists, and Burns and Mark Foglia scored one goal apiece. Phair
made 10 saves to keep Salem in the game.
Although the Blue Devils are losing nine seniors due to
graduation, Coach Hailey is hopeful for the future of the program.
The up-and-coming Blue Devils include Johnny Bartose Jr., Matt
Ayotte, Foglia, Jeff Gore, Ryan Beaulieu, Drew Hailey, Ben Genest,
Nick Gore, James Hayes, and goalie Sebastian Farah. According to
Hailey, there are also a lot of incoming freshmen who can make an
immediate impact on the program.
Salem and Windham Players Compete for a

Great Cause in CHaD Game
by Jacob Gagnon
There is more on the line than a football game, a trophy, or
bragging rights. On Saturday, June 27, under the lights at St.
Anselm College, the best players from all over New Hampshire
will be playing with the goal of raising $250K for the Childrens
Hospital at Dartmouth (CHaD) in the fourth annual NH All-Star
Football Game.
While the game pits East versus West, with more than 80 high
school players competing, both teams have been working together,
and working hard, to raise as much money as possible in the time
leading up to the event. Over the last three years, the game has
raised more than $750K altogether.
Spectators, CHaD patients, families, friends, and football
enthusiasts will not only be treated to a spectacular football
game, but also a halftime show featuring Latin Portraits by the
Muchachos, New Hampshires only all-age drum and bugle corps.
Proceeds go directly to CHaD, New Hampshires full-service,
comprehensive childrens hospital, and Kristens Gift Endowment
Fund, a pediatric oncology fund at CHaD.
The game, powered by the Nashua and Bedford Surgical Centers,

kicks off on Saturday at St. Anselm at 7 p.m., although gates will
open an hour earlier. Tickets can be purchased on game day.
Both the Salem and Windham communities will be well
represented at the game. Competing for Salem on the East All-Star
team are Kenny Calabrese, at wide receiver and defensive back,
and Austin Homsey, at tight end, wide receiver, and linebacker.
Both Calabrese and Homsey led the Blue Devils to one of their
strongest seasons in recent memory that had made them state title
contenders.
For Windham, four players will be competing for the East AllStars as well. Joey Frake, at wide receiver, tight end, and defensive
back; Anthony Gallo at the same positions; Kurtis Jolicoeur, at
running back and outside linebacker; and Brendan McInnis, at
quarterback and defensive back. These four players were the
centerpiece to the Jaguars state championship this past season.
While all of these athletes will be moving on in their scholastic
and athletic careers, this all-star game is an opportunity for all of
them to leave one final positive mark on their communities.

Softball Teams Championship Bid Falls Short in Extra Innings

by Jacob Gagnon
In a battle between the best teams
in Division I, the Salem High School
Softball teams season ended with the
unlucky bounce of a ball. In the top
of the 12th inning with the score still
knotted, Dovers Molly St. Germain hit
a screamer down the third base line that
barely managed to stay fair. That stroke
of luck allowed the Green Wave to score
twice. Half an inning later, they claimed
the NHIAA Division I Championship,
defeating Salem, 5-2.
While the Blue Devils incredible
