Strip Salvage
Yard Permit
by Bob Gibbs
After 32 years of serving the congregation
of worshippers at Triumphant Cross Lutheran
Church in Salem, Pastor David Yasenka is retiring.
Although he will no longer be the pastor at TCLC,
Reverend Yasenka will actively continue his
service to the poor and the homeless of southern
New Hampshire.
When Rev. Yasenka rst visited Triumphant
Cross Lutheran Church in 1982, he did not think
that he would accept the position of church
pastor. The church building at that time was
located on North Broadway, at what is now
Breckenridge Plaza. The church had not had a
pastor in over a year and the building itself was
in very poor condition. However, after meeting
church members and seeing the commitment that
they had to serve others in their community, he
decided to take on the position.
Church member Linda Mele recalled being on
the Call Committee that asked David Yasenka to be
the sixth pastor of Triumphant Cross Lutheran Church back in 1982.
He was anxious to start his ministry and came up from Connecticut
even before his house was nished. He stayed with
people from the congregation. He would frequent
local diners and denitely had a gift to talk to
strangers over breakfast and coffee, and before you
know it, they were coming to church. They also
had their adult study in the diner. This practice of
meeting at local coffee shops is still going on today.
TCLC started in the early 1960s and had a small
church building on the corner of Route 28 and Dyer
Avenue. In the mid 80s, Rev. Yasenka, along with
the building committee, had the insight to know
it was a good time to sell the church property and
construct a new building on Zion Hill Road to better
meet the needs of the growing congregation. It was
not long after that they were expanding the building
to add more meeting space and classrooms.
The church has always been education
orientated. They have had their own preschool,
and have housed a Head Start program and now have
Salem Family Resources-Success by 6 using their
space. Pastor Yasenka has always encouraged the
congregation to be involved in the community. Parishioners started
the Bread of Life Food Pantry and have been active in the Crop Walk.
Family Promise has benetted from the churchs assistance, and daily
noontime AA meetings have been held in the building.
Cindy Jury, executive director of Salem Family Resources, said the
pastor has been wonderful to the organization by providing space for
homeless families to nd shelter, food, education and training. Rev.
Yasenka has recognized that the poor and homeless need not just
shelter and food, but counseling, training, childcare, and education.
He sees to it that the people he works with are helped in becoming
whole self-supporting people and families. For those who may never
be able to be on their own entirely, he helps to provide them with as
much help and support as possible.
Rev. Yasenka Retires
from Pastoral Duties but not from Serving Others
by Sonny Tylus
Saturday, May 10, marked the date of the
third annual Greater Salem Earth Festival and
Expo. This event was created three years
ago by Salem resident Regina Andler, whose
business it is to help people save the planet.
Regina found that while there are a lot of
individual events happening around town for
Earth Day each year, there was no one big
town celebration.
The rst Greater Salem Earth Expo was
held on Earth Day 2012 at the Salem High
School. The following year the event was
held at the high school again and received an
even bigger turnout than the previous year.
This year, Regina teamed up with the Boys
& Girls Club of Greater Salem to create
an even bigger event with more fun and
activities for the kids. Now known as the
Greater Salem Earth Festival and Expo, the
event this year included 38 vendors from
New Hampshire and Massachusetts as well
as a mini Salem Farmers Market, a BBQ put
on by the club and fun for the kids including
a bounce house, obstacle course, face
painting and more.
This years theme was energy. The Greater
Salem Chamber of Commerce Green
Committee sponsored a poster contest for
the sixth graders in town and received 69
posters. The top ve winners received prizes
including a Balduccis gift certicate, T-Bones
Saving the Planet Salem Style
gift certicates, as well as tickets to
a Fisher Cats game and to Canobie
Lake Park. All participants
received a free ice cream cone
from Hawksies.
Next year promises to be even
better as we continue to work
together with the Boys & Girls
Club, said Andler. We have
a great committee including Pat
Good from The Field of Dreams,
Chris Dillon from the Salem Town
Recreation Department, Chris
Woodby of the Boys & Girls Club
of Salem and Jane Lang with the
Salem NH Farmers Market. Next
years theme is recycling. The date
for the 2015 event will be posted
in January. Information on the
event can be found at

How Italian Food Should Be!!

After multiple complaints by neighbors, Selectmen
voted to strip a local business of its operating
privileges, citing safety, environmental, and legal
concerns.
The Salem Board of Selectmen voted unanimously
on May 5 to not renew Roccos Used Auto Parts
salvage permit, citing testimony from neighbors that
the business has become a nuisance.
A salvage yard has been allowed on the Park Avenue
property for decades, but neighbors say the business
has expanded from the origin of the variance.
Walter Williams of Granite Avenue said two
previous owners failed with the property because it
was only intended to be a small business.
Its beyond ridiculous, Williams said. Both yards
failed.
Williams added a previous expansion proposal had
been shot down and that cars are parked in a buffer
zone.
Greg Eden of Granite Avenue agreed. It is by no
means anywhere near what it was 50 years ago, he
said.
Eden feared other business was happening on the
property as well saying he has seen taxicabs from
Boston pulling in with no one else but the driver.
Debbie Smith said she called the police department
about a strong paint smell, and the police ofcer, in
return, called the re department.
Smith said the smell raised health concerns and
created a nuisance when outside the home.
Selectman James Keller said the town had received
a stack of complaints about the property over an inch
thick. Theres been a pattern, he said.
Selectman Stephen Campbell made the motion not
to renew Roccos operating permit, which was required
to be renewed annually by the town.
The property is owned by Rockingham Auto Metal
Recyclers Michael McClellan, who did not speak at
the meeting.
Previously McClellan requested the additional
meeting seeking to bring his lawyer.
The operating permit had expired prior to the
original meeting about the renewal.
Selectmen voted unanimously not to renew Roccos Used Auto
Parts salvage yard license, citing numerous concerns from
neighbors as well as violations.

Greater Salem Caregivers
Acknowledge Volunteers, Supporters
by Sonny Tylus
The Knights of Columbus Hall on Main Street in Salem was
a scene of celebration last Thursday, May 8, as the community
honored all the kindness and time given by the volunteers of
the Greater Salem Caregivers. The large gathering featured
community and business leaders who enjoyed a ne dinner of
chicken pot pie and the music of Sebastian and his accordion.
Dick OShaughnessy, the executive director of the Greater
Salem Caregivers, thanked the volunteers and commented on
the value of their services not only to the elderly and disabled
but to the community as a whole. He remarked that the Salem
Caregivers organization is 25 years old this year, and, during
this time, the Caregivers group has provided thousands of rides,
errands, visits and wellness checks to the elderly and disabled
in Salem, Atkinson, Pelham and Plaistow.
He thanked the Salem Cooperative Bank and Enterprise
Bank for providing gifts of appreciation to the volunteers and,
more importantly, for their loyal support to the Caregivers. The
Knights of Columbus were recognized for their support and the
use of the hall.
Volunteers from the Work Success Program which is
under the auspices of Rockingham Community Action made
placemats, and the young people from the Teen Center at the
Boys and Girls Club helped prepare the banquet hall and serve
the food.
In her remarks to the gathering, Karen Yasenka, president of
the Board of Directors of the Caregivers, thanked the volunteers
for giving the clients the most precious gift of all, the gift of
time. She reminded everyone that because of volunteers
efforts, elders can remain in their homes with the joy of being
able to live independently.
The Annual Volunteer of the Year Award was presented to
Lorraine Fernandez who has served the Caregivers almost since
its inception. Lorraine was recognized for her contributions as
a volunteer, client and as member of the Board of Directors.
She has helped the Caregivers with respite work, has
volunteered in the ofce and has served as the voice of the
elderly on the board.
Lorraine is representative of the many men and women
who serve as volunteers personifying qualities of patience,
compassion and kindness. The community is blessed because
of their work and dedication.

Jane Lang of Salem was honored on May 4 at the Rockingham
County Democrats clambake with the Anita and Norman
Freedman service award. Jane was recognized for her tireless
energy advocating for healthcare and seniors, as well as for her
contribution to the community by organizing the Salem NH
Farmers Market.
Kristi St. Laurent of Windham nominated and presented the
award to Jane, commenting on Janes passion for her community.
As founder of the Salem NH Farmers Market, president of the NH
Farmers Market Association and vice president of the NH Alliance
for Retired Americans, Jane advocates with enthusiasm.
I dont look for the rewards in what I do but for the change
I can make in someones life. This is about the people, not the
politics, and I sincerely hope someday that is made a priority
in New Hampshire and Washington, Jane commented during
her acceptance speech. Being able to support our seniors
by protecting our social security, the NH Alliance for Retired
Americans advocacy helps in assuring no more cuts.
In Janes words, Bringing locally
grown and prepared products every
week to Salem by the farmers and
local entrepreneurs has grown
tremendously contributing to our
economic development here in
Salem. The local food movement
is growing; we all want to know
where our food comes from and
most important educate people,
especially those less fortunate and
seniors on food stamps, on the
benets of buying fresh products
and using their EBT cards at local farmers markets not at the
7-11s.
Change starts with me is a button Jane proudly wears on
her farmers market apron noting that change will not come by
waiting for others or for another time.

Fidelity Employees Connect with Kids at Salem BGC
A Fidelity employee helps students with homework while at the club.
by S. Aaron Shamshoyan
Theres a great thirst for employees to volunteer in the
community, said Fidelity Vice President of Public Affairs Joe Murray
while watching employees play dodge ball with students at the
Salem Boys & Girls Club.
Nearly 20 Fidelity employees spent the afternoon last Wednesday,
May 7, playing games like dodge ball and tug-of-war, and assisting
students with homework.
Our goal is to make connections with great organizations,
Murray said. What Fidelity does is to help people be successful in
their lives nancially.
And the service outside the ofce is important for employees also,
Murray said.
The Merrimack Fidelity ofce houses about 5,500 employees, and
events outside the ofce allow time for different groups to interact.
Murray said more than 1,000 employees were volunteering at
different organizations throughout the northeast region, working
with schools, Boys & Girls Clubs, YMCAs and others to serve the
community.
Other tasks included spring cleanups and teacher appreciations,
but the focus in Salem was working with employees and kids.
Team Captain Susan Masters said she was excited about the
program and enjoys meeting employees outside of the ofce.
It gives us an opportunity to get together, she said, adding she
plans to sign up for the program again in the future.
The program originally began out of Fidelitys Boston ofce and
was expanded due to its success.

Message from the Superintendent
SHS Renovation Timeline
by Michael W. Delahanty, Ed.D.,
Superintendent, SAU 57
A big question on everyones mind is when
construction will start on our high school
renovation project. Months and months of
planning were done to help inform voters about
the proposal. Now many feel that progress
ground to a halt and the project is in limbo.
There is a good explanation for no visible action.
Extensive detailed documents are required to
complete a project of this scope. The documents
are expensive to develop, and we planned to
develop them after the project was approved.
In our case, we anticipated approximately
twelve months of document development before
construction would begin. The process includes
three phases. The rst is schematic design;
the second is design development; and third is
completing the construction documents, which
describe all the work in ne detail.
The phase were currently undertaking is
schematic design. We approved the necessary
programs in the newly renovated high school,
and now were working closely with the
architects and the architects consultants to
synthesize the programs into a well-dened and
feasible design. When the schematic design is
completed, a process that can take two months
or more, we will have oor plans; room layouts;
preliminary information about mechanical,
electrical, and plumbing systems; initial material
choices; site plans showing circulation and
relationships of exterior spaces; civil engineering
questions answered, and more complete model
images. This phase requires close work with high
school staff.
The second phase, which will take an
additional two to four months, is design
development. During this phase of work, the
architects and engineers will rene and x the
design with a goal of working out all the details.
During this phase engineering issues will be
nalized, including the structural, heating and
cooling, and electrical systems. Our group
also will coordinate the work of other partners
such as mechanical and acoustical engineers,
communications specialists, and IT professionals.
Well also choose nishes, nalize equipment
requirements, and determine furniture layouts. In
this phase, a signicant number of decisions are
made that affect nal construction.
In the nal phase, the architects will put all the
information together in construction documents.
These drawings can take more than six months
to complete, but theyre necessary before any
work can begin. We cant put a shovel in the
ground before the documents are complete.
These blueprints will describe in ne detail all the
construction work to be done. Our Construction
Manager, Harvey Construction, will use these
documents to be certain that the school is built
as intended and envisioned. The construction
drawings will be the basis for sub-contractor bids
for such facets as demolition, mechanical units,
the power plant and electrical switchgear, and
all other construction related to building and
renovation.
All this planning is underway now, and our
team expects to break ground in April 2015 when
the design work is complete. Shortly, you will be
able to follow the projects progress on the school
districts website. Well make strong efforts to
provide regular updates.
Governor Maggie Hassans
Impressive First Term
Governor Maggie Hassan has spent the beginning
11/4 years of her frst term accomplishing the best
fx-up job since last years worst-to-frst Boston Red
Sox. Since the November 2012 elections during
which 57 percent of Granite Staters swept her into
the gubernatorial chair over Ovide Lamontagne,
most of the rubble left behind by Bill OBrien and
the Republican House Tea Party interlopers has been
quickly and neatly cleared away by Hassan and her
much-more-bipartisan legislature. To wit:
1. On March 27, Maggie Hassan signed onto the
Afordable Care Acts Medicaid Expansion bill (SB
413), which will assign Medicaid health benefts
to over 60,000 low-income adults, all funded
by Washington, DC. Tis is a 2 1/2 year pilot
program that will utilize private health insurers,
and will bring nearly $3 billion into our states
economy over that period.
2. Improved public safety by adding 15 state troopers
on the job days after her inauguration. Tis was
in response to the 2011 OBrien cuts to our police
budget, which led to every major police union
in New Hampshire endorsing Hassan during her
election campaign two years ago.
3. Restored all the cut funding to the Children In
Need of Services (CHINS) program, ravaged by
the GOP House in 2012. Also reinstated most
of the drastic state college funding slashed by
OBrien, as well as freezing state tuitions. Between
this and the doubling of the New Hampshire
Research and Development tax credit, both
university students as well as businesses large and
small have returned to our state after being chased
out by legislation of unparalleled hostility against
both factions from January 2011-January 2013
by the unlamented conservative majorities in
Concord.
4. Enacted the groundbreaking Pathway to
Work legislation, which gives fnancial support
specifcally to unemployed business managers to
start their own companies. Tis program, one of
Hassans signature achievements, allows managers
to continue to receive their unemployment
benefts while working full time beginning
startup businesses in their felds throughout New
Hampshire, providing them a needed fnancial
springboard to get them back on their feet. More
than 60 new businesses have been formed in the
state since it went into efect last July, and has
fttingly won the 2014 BOB (Best of Business)
award from the prestigious New Hampshire
Business Review.
5. Repaired the states mental health system, another
area decimated by the Tea Party, by restoring
funding to service waitlists of citizens with
developmental disabilities and psychological
disorders. Tis was another important area
swept under the rug by the OBrien House in
their rabid budget-cutting fervor, ignoring the
fact that demonstrating humanity toward these
unfortunates is not only the right thing to do but
is far less expensive, long-term, than simply cutting
support funds and hoping that New Hampshire
citizens just follow their ugly lead and ignore the
problem. Well, Bill we didnt. And neither did
Maggie Hassan.
And the good news for all the budget hawks out there
is that of this writing the state has a current $15 million
surplus, which the House and Senate are currently in
discussions over re: whether to spend it or add it to our
Rainy Day fund, which currently totals $9.3 million.
Tis puts the lie to the rampant and destructive
economic actions over the two years of Tea Party
dominance in Concord, two years that both Democrats
and Republicans, going forward, will hopefully by
electoral vigilance never let happen again.

Minimum Wage Challenge
Senator Chuck Morse, once again you put your
politics before your constituents. Voting against the
minimum wage, why?
A business owner like you should think about
minimum wage workers during this slow economy
where the cost of living continues to rise but their wages
are below poverty level. Tere are families in New
Hampshire who have to work two to three jobs to have
a roof over their head, food on the table, transportation
and clothing on their backs, not to mention the cost of
raising children.
Why not walk in their shoes?
Senator Chuck Morse, I am asking you to participate
in a minimum wage challenge for one month. At $7.25
per hour for a 40 hour a week your net income after
taxes would be $217.
See what it is like for your constituents. Walk in
their shoes.

Lamenting Failed Casino Bill
Rep. Joe Sweeney and Steve Campbell have decried
the vote of their fellow Republicans: Rep. Bick, Rep.
M. Garcia and Rep. B. Garcia regarding the casino bill
which lost by just one vote a week a so.
In all fairness to these representatives, in the run up
to the election in the fall of 2012, they made it clear in
newspaper interviews and at Candidates Forums that
they werent going to vote for the casino bill. And if you
were familiar with their conservative views you knew
that they were not going to change their minds.
Most people voted for them anyway. I would be
surprised if Joe and Steve had not voted for them.
Why did this happen? Probably the answer is that
many people mindlessly voted a straight party ticket
even though there were well known, well respected
candidates on the other side of the ballot who made it
clear that they would vote for the bill.
Bottom line, you may be upset that there will be no
revitalization of the track, there will be no major infux
of jobs, no additional millions in tax revenue and a big
loss of dollars to the local Salem civic organizations,
sport teams, and nonprofts. But if you voted for
Rep. Bick, Rep. M. Garcia and Rep. B. Garcia then
accept some of the blame yourself. Elections have
consequences!

Small businesses are

Getting Older Needs to be a Laughing Matter

I did not receive a question from readers this week, so I asked the
participants at Silverthorne: How do we put laughter into our lives
as we age? Well the question prompted discussion and got the
group going with laughter.
Phyliss said staying social is the key to laughter. They feel
coming to an adult day center is a perfect way to have laughter in
their lives, because of the relationships and interaction between
the staff and participants. We are always laughing around here.
Interacting with peers, whether it is at an adult day center, senior
center, nursing home, assisted living or an exercise class, can bring
joy and laughter. A few of the participants felt they were able to
laugh a lot around children. CB said, Paula, you should write that
families should have more family reunions. Not everyone sees their
children or grandchildren and the little ones are so much fun. The
younger kids need to visit (us) older kids more
Doris agreed so quickly with CB saying children bring great
laughter and smiles to her. She went on to say, I dont want any
more grandchildren though, I cant afford them. Barbara also
thought visiting Field of Dreams would be a great place for us older
kids to smile and laugh. Kids are fun to be around especially when
you get older and they arent yours to really deal with.
Reminiscing is also important to get the good old belly jiggling.
CB had the group laughing when he talked about when he was in
third grade, and he and his friend skipped school by jumping out a
school window. It was fun back then, but I couldnt even think of
doing it now!
Steve Wilson, MA, CSP, a psychologist and laugh therapist, states
that if people can get more laughter in their lives, they are a lot
better off and might be healthier too. When we laugh we stretch our
muscles, release stress, and breathe faster sending more oxygen to
our tissues. Laughter enhances ones quality of life, so laugh on.
Also, remember a caregiver in-service program will be held
on May 20 at Silverthorne from 4-5:30 p.m. Susan Antowiak of
the Alzheimer Association will be discussing Communications
Strategies to Support Your Loved One with Alzheimer Disease.
RSVP at 893-4799.

Nations Report Card Shows NH Students
Perform near Top of Country
Grade 12 Reading and Math Results Released for 2013 NAEP
submitted by NH Department of Education
New Hampshires 12th graders, as a whole,
continue to perform near the top in reading
and mathematics compared to students across
the nation, according to the 2013 National
Assessment of Educational Progress results
released May 12.
In reading, New Hampshires average grade
12 score was signicantly higher than the
national average. On a scale from 0 to 500,
New Hampshires average was 295, compared to
a national average of 287. Only Connecticuts
students, with an average score of 299,
outperformed New Hampshires. The next closest
average scores were in Massachusetts, with an
average score of 293, and Idaho, with an average
score of 292. But, even though New Hampshires
students were among some of the highest
performers in the country, only 45 percent of them
were deemed procient in reading.
Twelfth graders who take the NAEP test are
deemed procient in reading if they can, among
other things, locate and integrate information
using sophisticated analyses of the meaning and
form of the text. These students should also be
able to provide specic text support for inferences,
interpretative statements, and comparisons within
and across texts.
I applaud New Hampshires students for
showing yet again that we have some of the
highest quality educators, communities and
schools in the country, New Hampshire
Commissioner of Education Virginia Barry said.
But there is always room for improvement, and
we also know that our students will compete
in a global economy, so we must be mindful to
ensure students are engaged in rigorous academic
programs.
In mathematics, New Hampshires average
score was also signicantly higher than the
national average. On a scale from 0 to 300, New
Hampshires average score was 161, compared
to 152 for the nation, 161 for Massachusetts,
160 for Connecticut, 159 for New Jersey and
159 for South Dakota. While New Hampshires
students are among the top performers in the
nation, the scores show room for continued
improvement. Thirty-two percent of New
Hampshire students were deemed procient
in mathematics, compared to 34 percent for
Massachusetts, 32 percent for Connecticut, 33
percent for New Jersey and 28 percent for South
Dakota. Twelfth-grade students performing at the
procient level should be able to recognize when
particular concepts, procedures, and strategies
are appropriate, and to select, integrate, and
apply them to solve problems. Their skills should
include the ability to test and validate geometric
and algebraic conjectures using a variety of
methods, including deductive reasoning and
counterexamples.
Each New Hampshire student that participated
in the assessment was asked to complete
two 25-minute sessions in either reading or
mathematics. The reading assessment used
both literary and informational texts. Literary
texts included ction, literary nonction and
poetry. Informational texts included exposition,
argumentative/persuasive, and procedural texts.
The cognitive reading behaviors of locate and
recall, integrate and interpret, and critique and
evaluate were evaluated with both literary and
informational passages. With mathematics,
number properties and operations; measurement;
geometry; data analysis, statistics, and probability;
and algebra were evaluated with low, moderate,
and high levels of question complexity.
The National Assessment of Educational
Progress, commonly known as the Nations
Report Card, is mandated by federal law and
is conducted at both the state and the national
level. This assessment has been focusing on
what Americas students know and are capable
of doing in various subject areas since 1969. In
a follow-up to the NAEP 2009 Grade 12 Pilot,
state-level data was again collected for Grade 12
schools participating in the NAEP 2013 reading
and mathematics assessments. The other 12
states participating were Arkansas, Connecticut,
Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Massachusetts,
Michigan, New Jersey, South Dakota, Tennessee
and West Virginia. The State of New Hampshire
elected to participate in the NAEP 2013 Grade 12
reading and mathematics assessments to not only
complement the existing grades 4 and 8 NAEP
participation in reading and mathematics but to
also provide comparative assessment measures to
its earlier participation in NAEP 2009.
Nationwide, approximately 1,900 public
high schools with just over 89,000 students
participated in the NAEP 2013 Grade 12 reading
and mathematics assessment. In New Hampshire,
77 high schools participated with approximately
5,900 students split between the reading and
mathematics assessments. Demographically,
there was an even split between male and female
participation in New Hampshire with race/
ethnicity representation of: 92 percent white, non-
Hispanic; 2 percent black; 3 percent Hispanic;
and 3 percent Asian/Pacic Islander.

2013 Mathematics and Reading results, contact
Tim Eccleston, New Hampshires NAEP Program
Administrator at (603) 271-2298 or Timothy.

Hose House #2 Getting Restored
by Sonny Tylus
The Salem Historical
Society and Historic
District Commission
formed a committee
with the approval and
support of the Board
of Selectmen. The
committee hopes to
restore Hose House #2
as much as possible to
its original state.
The house, which
was constructed in
1906, has served
as a re station and
municipal building
and, at one time,
even contained jail
cells. Over the years,
it has been the site for
Boy Scout meetings,
acted as classrooms
for schools and hosted
public meetings. The
house will undergo
extensive renovations,
including painting, foundation xes, window and screen repairs,
and even a new roof and rafters. In addition, the bell tower will
be reconstructed, all new doors added, and the heating system
improved with updated electrical wiring and lighting.
Once completed, the Hose House will become a museum with
tours offered. A big enhancement will be an actual wagon that
carried the re equipment. The committee is currently looking for a
plastic horse to go with the wagon. They hope to have the wagon in
the Christmas parade.
The Hose House renovations are being done without the use of
town money. Several businesses have made donations, such as
Enterprise Bank, Pentucket Bank, Rockingham Park and the Salem
Fireghters Association.
The committee is looking for any memorabilia and stories,
relating to reghters, that anyone wishes to donate to the project.
Monetary donations are also welcome. Call 890-2280 or e-mail
drzavisza@myfairpoint.net.
Tis fre equipment wagon will be added to the Hose House grounds.
A committee will help restore Hose House #2 to its former state.

Mobile Bidding Brings Girls Inc.
Auction Total to $200,000
submitted by Nashua Girls Inc.
Girls Inc. celebrated its 25th Annual Auction
by launching mobile bidding. This event has
evolved over the years from a television auction to
an online and live event to their rst ever mobile
bidding auction. Raising close to $200,000 it was
their most successful auction ever, proving that
technology is indeed a friend.
Just as the auction has evolved, so too have the
Girls Inc. camp offerings. What was once sewing
class is now Project Runway, cooking classes
have become culinary arts, and the science and
math programs are the new STEM programs.
The one thing that never changes is that the girls
who join Girls Inc. have fun.
One hundred percent of all the funds raised will
provide summer camp scholarships to girls who
attend summer programs in Concord, Nashua and
Manchester. The scholarships are available to all
families in need. Girls are never turned away due
to the inability to pay.
The girls who attend camps can come for one
week or nine weeks selecting the activities and
themes that interest them. For a complete list of
themes and dates or for more information about
Girls Inc. of New Hampshire programs in your

is a member-based organization for girls ages 5 to
18 with a co-ed preschool for 3 and 4 year olds.
Sunscreen Innovation Act
Gets Bipartisan Support
May is Melanoma Awareness Month
submitted by the Ofce of
U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte
With more than 2 million cases of skin cancer
diagnosed each year, U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte
(R-NH) is cosponsoring the Sunscreen Innovation
Act bipartisan legislation that aims to streamline
the approval process to bring safe and effective
sunscreens to consumers as quickly as possible.
The bill seeks to break a logjam at the Food and
Drug Administration, where some sunscreen
ingredients that are widely used in foreign markets
such as Canada and Europe have been stuck
in the approval process for 12 years.
The ght against skin cancer starts with using
the best available sunscreen, and this bipartisan
legislation will help ensure that Americans have
access to the highest quality sunscreen products,
said Senator Ayotte. As we observe national
Melanoma Awareness Month, Congress should
take up and pass this commonsense bill right
away. Theres no reason why bureaucratic federal
regulations should prevent safe and effective
products from reaching the marketplace.
Ingredients in over-the-counter sunscreens must
be approved by the FDA, which hasnt added to its
list of approved sunscreen ingredients since 1999
even though sunscreen with new ingredients
has been available in foreign markets including
Europe, Canada, Asia and South America for 15
years.
The Sunscreen Innovation Act aims to ensure
that sunscreen ingredients going through the FDA
approval process receive a transparent review
within a predictable timeframe 11 months
or less, depending on whether it is a new or
existing submission. As it stands now, there is no
mandatory timeline for this process. Existing FDA
eligibility requirements would be maintained an
ingredient must be used extensively and safely for
at least ve years in at least one country.
The Sunscreen Innovation Act (S. 2141)
was introduced in the Senate by Senator Jack
Reed (D-RI) and Senator Johnny Isakson (R-
GA). Companion legislation (H.R. 4250) was
introduced in the House by Congressman Ed
Whiteld (R-KY) and Congressman John Dingell
(D-MI).
The legislation is supported by: the American
Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, the
Melanoma Research Foundation, the Prevent
Cancer Foundation, and the Skin Cancer
Foundation.

Mele says that Pastor
Yasenka has made
TCLC a beacon of light
for Salem. Reverend
Yasenka has received
awards such as the
Ganley Award and the
Champion of Children
award for his efforts in
the community.
Parishioner Linda
Mele recalls clearly
a sermon of Pastor
Yasenkas. She stated,
It was my daughters
conrmation. He had
the conrmands try on
their parents jackets,
shoes, and hats. They
didnt t. It was a
lesson that their faith
had to be their own
not just handed down
from their parents. He
encouraged us all to live
out our faith by helping
others.
Along with his duties as pastor, Rev. Yasenka also serves on the board of
directors of the Salem Haven Nursing Home.
In addition, he has testied before the NH House of Representatives,
speaking to the needs of the poor and homeless. Rev. Yasenka is known for
being able to bring together members of the business community, elected
ofcials, and homeless groups. He sees many in the political arena pulling
together in Salem.
He is driven to help those most in need of a
place to live. He speaks passionately of the poor
and homeless and the need to bring assistance to
these families. Despite one reporters insistence
to get him to recall memories of his time in Salem,
the pastor kept
coming back to the
needs of the people
he wants to help.
Although he
will no longer be
a pastor, he by
no means will be
resting. He will be
spending most of
his time working
with the Isaiah
58 ministries, a
non-prot group
helping to provide
affordable housing.
He will also be
spending time with
his wife, Karen, and
his children, Kristen,
Kourtney, and Aaron,
as well as grandchildren Helena and Isla.
The reverend feels that in the time he has
served Salem, the town hasnt changed
a lot; there is a still a closeness of the
community in trying to help the needy
As church member, Betty Gay put it
simply, He is going to be missed.
SARL has raised thousands of dollars to ensure the protection,
shelter, and well being of the animals at the Salem shelter. The
money is used to buy the animals food and other necessities. DJ
Bettencourt of the Salem Animal Rescue League stated that the
trivia was a tremendous success, and expressed his desire to
continue this fundraising event at the beginning of May every year.
Furthermore, Joanne Flynn, owner of the Windham Country
Club and a member of the board of directors for SARL, donated
the food for this fun-lled trivia night. She
also donated the country clubhouse for this
fundraising event.
All in all, Stump Trivia Night was
a success with more than individuals
attending. It was a great pleasure to witness
so many people willing to offer their
support for such a wonderful cause.

Thumbs up/Thumbs down. People, there
is no leash law in NH! You should be able to
control your dog; but legally speaking there is no
leash law! Trust me.
Thumbs up/Thumbs down. I would like to
know why NH drivers are not required to have
car insurance. What a joke. I pay a fortune for
insurance to cover these people that dont want
to foot their own bill? Ridiculous! How do we
change this?
Thumbs down to Carpetbagger Clutter: My
Facebook and TV are lled with brainless ads from
the latest carpetbaggers to treat Granite Staters
like rubes. What do these border hoppers mean
to compare reading web sites with not living free?
The carpetbaggers have the freedom to live here
that does not means they can treat Granite Staters
like children to be mislead.
Thumbs down. If the Millville Beach
Association cannot keep the area clean as agreed,
then it should be closed. It looks like a dump all
year.
Thumbs down to the Home Improvement
store in Salem, NH. Im a retired reghter and
the different offenses that I see and rules that are
being broken (safety issues) at Lowes in Salem
are unspeakable. They got stuff parked on the
sidewalks out there in front of the push-out
emergency doors and everything. If there was
ever a re in that store the people would not be
able to get out. But their disregard for people
anyway, just by the way the associates in there
talk about the company. It may be a strong
company but evidently its not that good to work
for because every time I go in there I hear them
talking different stuff about it. Somebody should
address the safety issues in that building because
evidently management doesnt address them. And
for the safety of the people that work in there and
the customers there should be something done
about it.
Thumbs down. One really questions if such
an amount of destruction and devastation is truly
necessary through Salem and
Windham on Route 93. And
the on and off ramps at Exit 2
are horric, both in design and
directions.
Thumbs down to fraud. The
Statute says you shall get a
license, and you shall register
your vehicle. Shall is a future
tense word. The fact that they
demand you to have it today is
fraud, and thats a crime. And
cops know it. Go right to their
employer, the town manager,
and le a claim. Oh, wait.
Hes bailing ship. Go gure. But there are no
limitations of ling any claim. Even your kids can
le a claim on your behalf years later.
Thumbs up to the few drivers that use their
turn signals!
Thumbs up/Thumbs down. The three against
the casino at Rockingham Park better change their
vote. They are elected to do the bidding of the
people who elected them. Get with the program!
Thumbs down to all three.
Thumbs down to the School
Board for only notifying the
incoming Kindergarteners
parents of the decision to no
longer have Kindergarten at
the Walter Haigh School. The
parents deserve to know this
from the school board not a
parent at another school. Also
why are you waiting till next
year to tell us about the closure
of Haigh?
Thumbs down to Salem for
not having an Adopt a Spot
program where landscapers
and local organizations could
help beautify Salem. Organizations and local
landscapers would get their credits and the
citizens of Salem would be able to enjoy a
pretty landscape! Why cant the Chamber and
the Garden Club partner on this project? Local
merchants could participate. There could be
a contest as to the best presentations. Lots of
potential for community involvement with the end
result - a pretty, welcoming shopping destination.
Thumbs down to our State Reps and State
Senator Morse from Salem for their negative
votes on increasing the minimum wage in NH.
Progressive these people are not! Traitors to their
constituency they are! Between this vote, their
votes against expanded gaming at Rockingham,
their votes against expanding Medicare in NH -
we are being very poorly represented! In fact!
They just continue to vote against the will of the
people. We, the people, need to vote against
them in the next election!
Thumbs up and Happy Teacher Appreciation
week to Mark Huebner and the
rest of the Woodbury Grade
6 Yeti teachers for organizing
and attending the Squam Lakes
Science Center eld trip each
year. The school day ended at
5:45 p.m. instead of 2 p.m., two
days in a row for the teachers
who attended. Students
participated in real scientic
experiments dealing with the
lake and wetlands, learned a
lot, and had a great time. I
was lucky enough to have great
science teachers in middle and
high school, and am thrilled that
my kids do, too.
Thumbs up to the one man
who was able to get rid of those
unsightly railroad ties. Our
town manager. Sure it might
have taken a few extra years,
but no one is perfect. At least they are all gone.
At least he saw the project through to completion.
Finally. How could we possibly nd someone
else with that kind of effectiveness? It wont be
easy.
Thumbs up. Thank you Ofcer John ODonnell
for your assistance in getting our disabled vehicle
towed out of a busy area. We had a vehicle
that had an issue with a tire off and he quickly
took charge of the situation, since AAA was at
a loss for drivers ... he called the next company
that is on the Police Dept. rotating list of towing
businesses and we were on our way. My husband
and I appreciated his concern for the safety of the
residents of Salem on a busy street. This is one
great police ofcer. Credit needs to be given to
the ofcers that go above and beyond.
Thumbs up to the Salem NH Post Ofce and all
their Mail Carriers. The Pleasant Street Food for
the Hungry Pantry appreciates all the hard work
you did Saturday, May 10, during the Stamp out
Hunger Food Drive. We know it was not easy for
you to deliver the mail and pickup all the food
donations at the same time. You brought the Food
for the Hungry Pantry over 2,000 pounds of food
and we thank you.
Thumbs down. I cannot believe that the
Salem School District thinks it is OK to split up
families with multiple children in elementary
school. Sending my child to one school and then
having to ship off my kindergartner to another
school is ridiculous. This is being done so the
district can preserve space for the children living
in the Haigh district (since their school is not
offering kindergarten). Since those families are
already being split up (not their fault), why give
them preferential treatment with space at our
neighborhood school? Why upset two families
(isnt one enough)? Shouldnt families in my
district be given rst choice at the elementary
school less than two miles from their homes?
Thumbs down to the Salem DPW and this
awful mess theyve made of our roads by using
liquid tar to ll cracks. My street is black and wet
to the point where I cant walk my dog. There has
got to be a better way.
Thumbs down to the House Republicans. I
so agree with Elizabeth Warren. The whole
Benghazi Committee is just a political theater for
Republicans ... its a waste-of-time-and-resources
witch hunt and fundraising sideshow. I agree
with Ms. Warren: Wrong and Shameful. These
are our tax dollars at work folks! Just like the NH
Republicans ... nothing for the people. Only
about themselves.

Busy Year-end
Activities at Barron
submitted by Ms. Bateson, Mrs. Hall and Mrs. White,
Fifth Grade Team of Teachers
It is amazing to think we are sending out a MAY newsletter! Where
oh where has the year gone?
Fifth graders have been very busy. A fantastic Beatles concert was
held on May 8. I hope you were able to attend the show. We have a
truly talented group of students in grade ve. Many of us in attendance
were moved to tears!
May 12 is the eld trip to Lexington and Concord, Mass., to hear
about the events leading up to the American Revolution. This is always
a great trip; the students learn a lot and enjoy the day. It is a super
place for families to spend some time during the summer. There are
lots of museums, historical sites, and homesteads you can visit. We are
lucky to live so nearby. I hope the students ask to see/learn more about
that time in our history.
Our last go round of I-ready testing, benchmark reading assessments,
and a spelling inventory will happen this month too. Make sure your
children go to bed early and eat a good breakfast before testing day.
The brain needs fuel to do its best.
Work on those book reports. Awards day soon approaches and
without 1,500 pages under their belt, they will not be wearing the
prized blue reader award hat! The reading is easy, and there are so
many choices for showing what you know there is just no excuse for
every fth grade not to be wearing a hat!
We held one fabulous Spaghetti Supper night. Parents interest, time,
volunteerism, and support is what made it great. Just cant thank you
enough. The kids were fabulous wait staff and the meal was simply put
delish! That sauce was all due to our custodian Don. Yummy!
Thank you for a wonderful year. You have been there supporting us
in every way.
Have a fantastic summer. Enjoy time with friends and family. Enjoy
not having any homework!
Keep your kids reading, and do have them stop by next year to say
hello. We love to see our Barron graduates and hear how they are
doing!

School Board Appoints New Athletic
Director from Nashua South
submitted by the Ofce of the
Superintendent of Schools
Michael Delahanty, superintendent of schools,
and Tracy Collyer, Salem High School principal,
announced on Tuesday, May 13, that S. Scott
Insinga has been appointed by the Salem School
Board to replace David Rozumek as SHS athletic
director. Insinga will begin to serve in the A.D.
role when Rozumek retires at the end of June.
Insinga currently serves as athletic coordinator at
Nashua South High School. Prior to his time in
Nashua, he worked at Londonderry High School
as a teacher and coach. While working as a
teacher, he coached high school wrestling and
football.
As the athletic coordinator at Nashua South
High School, Insinga supervises both high
school and middle school physical education
teachers and coaching staffs. He also manages
all athletic related programming. Insinga has
a bachelors degree in physical education from
Plymouth State University where he minored in
health. Insinga also earned a masters degree from
Rivier University in educational administration.
He also holds licensure as a Certied Athletic
Administrator. Insinga is a member of the
New Hampshire Interscholastic Administration
Association where he serves on several
committees. He is also a member of the National
Interscholastic Athletic Administration Association.
The current Athletic Director, Dave Rozumek,
will be difcult to replace. High school
administrators, coaches, and staff, interviewed
several qualied applicants, but it was clear
that Mr. Insingas candidacy stood out, said
Superintendent Michael Delahanty. Mr.
Rozumek set an unmatched performance
standard, and reviewing candidates without
considering his work ethic and commitment
was a signicant challenge. However, Mr.
Insinga reects the strong character and deep
integrity weve come to expect. His work
experiences match our needs, and hes going to
be an outstanding addition to the high schools
leadership team. Hes described as an excellent
role model for student athletes.

Boys Lax Throttles Memorial, 14-1
by Jacob Gagnon
The Salem High School Boys Lacrosse team showcased a
complete team effort on Saturday afternoon, May 10 at home, as
they cruised to a 14-1 victory over Manchester Memorial High
School.
We came out a little bit slow. I thought we did well on face offs
and possessions, but we were a little sloppy with the ball through
the rst and second quarters, said Head Coach Robert Ruppy
Hailey. We made some adjustments at halftime, and I feel that in
the second half we were a different team.
While the Blue Devils did not take complete control of the contest
until the second half, the Crusaders never seemed to be close to
overcoming Salem. Salem controlled the ball through most of the
rst half, penetrating through Crusader defenders to get to the net.
On the other side of the eld, the Blue Devils defense held strong
and protected goalkeeper Evan Phair.
Defensively, we were solid today. Anytime they got the ball into
our zone, they (Memorial)
werent really able to
penetrate anything inside,
said Hailey.
Salem took the lead over
halfway through the rst
quarter with a score from
Sam MacDonald. Tim
Craig doubled the score
with a goal around the four-
minute mark of the second
quarter. Approximately 40
seconds later, Craig scored
again to give his team a 3-0
advantage.
Timmy Craig had a great
game. He scored a bunch
of goals and hes been a
solid contributor all year
long, said Hailey. Our
mid-elders, Oliver Oullette
and Andrew Phillips, were
incredible. For the most
part, these guys have been
our catalyst all year long.
Jake Genest scored with
3:46 remaining in the rst half. A minute later, teammate Jake Burns
found the net to give Salem a 5-0 lead heading into halftime. The
Blue Devils were far from done.
Weve been practicing over the last couple of weeks on the
proper times to cut, proper proximity to the ball, proper times to
cut, and I just really feel that we were nally turning it around in the
second half, said Hailey. The changes we made at halftime really
separated us from the other team.
In the second half, Salem turned up the heat on both sides of the
ball. In the third quarter alone, Mark Foglia, Oullette, ONeil, Burns
and Phillips scored while Craig added a pair of goals to up his total
to four scores in the contest. After three quarters of play, Salem
led 12-1. The Blue Devils attack, which was thought to be a weak
spot prior to the start of the season, played a relentless game that
powered Salem.
Jake Burns is doing a good job at attack. Ryan ONeil had a few
goals today and hes really coming along, said Hailey. Attack was
the question mark going into the season, so for these guys to step it
up like they did today was nice to see.
The Crusaders were able to halt the shutout by gaining a one-on-
one advantage at the start of the fourth quarter and scoring. Salem
continued to pressure Memorial. The Blue Devils added two more
goals, from Jeff LaRosa and ONeil, in the nal quarter. Salem held
the ball for the nal minute of play and defeated the Crusaders, 14-
1. With the win, Salem improved to 4-6 on the season with eight
games left to play before the playoffs.
While the victory was an enormous boost of condence for the
Blue Devils and an indication to the players that their hard work was
paying off, Salem will not rest in the success of this win. Weve got
some really important games coming up, said Hailey. So were
getting ready to position ourselves for the postseason.
With the rapid-re schedule of spring sports, and two big games
coming up against Concord High School, Salem will have to remain
relentless in pursuit of their goal.
Salem Baseball Grabs Pair of Key Wins
by Jacob Gagnon
The Salem High School team has seemed to hit their stride.
After falling in their rst two games of the season, the Blue
Devils have won six of their last eight contests and surpassing
.500 for their team record at 6-4.
On Thursday, May 8, Salem travelled to Dover High School.
Dover was perfect at 8-0 before facing the Blue Devils.
Powered at the plate by
catcher Jake White, Salem
scored nine runs on seven
hits. White went two-for-
three with four RBIs to
anchor the Blue Devils
offense. Shortstop Nick
Shumski went two-for-three
at the plate with an RBI.
Cody Soucy, Jake Dufton,
Matt Meisner, and Kyle
Nagri all collected a single
run batted in for Salem in
the game.
While Dover used four
pitchers to try to stop the
Blue Devils, Salem needed
only one. C.J. Beaulieu
hurled all seven innings,
allowing ve runs (three
earned runs) on eight hits
while walking two and striking out two Dover hitters.
On a drizzly Friday afternoon, on May 9, Salem hosted
Timberlane Regional High School. The Owls, at 5-6 prior to the
contest, presented another obstacle for Salem with a handful of
powerful hitters on their squad.
The Blue Devils grabbed an early 4-0 lead, scoring two runs
in the third inning and two more runs in the fourth inning.
Timberlane responded with two runs in the fth inning before
grabbing the lead with a ve-run sixth inning. But the Blue
Devils bats retorted with ve runs in the nal two innings of the
game to secure the 9-8 win and to keep their successful streak
going.
This time, Soucy led Salem with a two-for-four hit
performance with four RBIs. Shumski continued his stellar
season by collecting a pair of RBIs in a two-for-three hit
effort. White earned another RBI by going one-for-three in the
ballgame. Nagri had one RBI on one hit in the contest.
Josh Perrault earned the win on the mound for Salem after
coming into the ballgame for the nal 1.3 innings for relief.
Perrault allowed one run on two hits, while walking one batter
and striking out another. Meisner started the game and had a
solid outing by tossing 4.6 innings and letting up two runs on
ve hits while walking four and striking out three Owls batters.
Brent Barrett and Zach Martineau both made relief appearances
in the ballgame.
The Blue Devils will need to continue this streak to earn a
strong spot in the postseason tournament.
