The Salem High School annual winter concert took place


once again on Thursday, December 19. The nearly two hour
performance began, as it traditionally has in the past, with
many powerfully entertaining performances from such Salem
High musical groups as the Jazz Ensemble, Honors Chorus,
Vocal Quintet and the combined choruses to name a few.
At the beginning of the show it was announced that Ellen
Bosch, beloved teacher and mentor, would be retiring at the
end of this school year after teaching at the high school since
1999. In the middle of the event to her and the audiences
surprise, chorus department aide and graduate of 2008,
Hudson Wells took the stage. Hudson began to explain to
the audience, as Mrs. Bosch watched from the side of the
stage, of his transformation from a curious home-schooled
boy to the man he became after walking through the music
room doors at Salems public high school. He went on by
saying, In my four years of chorus, Mrs. Bosch was so much
more than a teacher to all of us and impacted so many in a
powerful way. The act of gratitude that was shown to Mrs.

Firefghters Relief Association at Senior Center
submitted by Sonny Tylus
For 27 years, the Salem Fireghters
Relief Association has been providing
a holiday meal to the seniors. Retired
reghter Tom Tetreault has been doing
this for 25 years. He related how this
had started at the Masonic Temple with
30 seniors being fed.
This year, some 30 Salem reghters,
family members and friends served salad,
home cooked pasta, meatballs, bread and
dessert. Nearly 300 people were served
in two settings. One senior commented
how his doggie bag would provide him
with two days of meals. The volunteers
could be seen helping the seniors with
their jackets, nding seats, serving the
food and cleaning up. Some of them
started cooking and preparing the food at
8 a.m. and would be there cleaning up
until about 3 p.m.
This event wouldnt be as successful as
it is if it werent for Patti Drelick, Director
of Salem Senior Services, the staff and the
volunteers of the Salem Senior Center.
The Association paid for all the food
and supplies. In addition, the Salem

The battle over temporary signs on the side of town roads
could soon come to a close with selectmen approving a
zoning board amendment clarifying their usage.
The amendment allows qualifying organizations to post
signs on private property two weeks before an event, with
verbal permission from the property owner, up to three times
per year.
Per the amendment, qualifying events are: A special event
taking place in the Town of Salem and occurring no more
than three times per calendar year.
Qualifying organizations are non-prots, organizations
eligible to be registered as non-prots and charities. The
event must be for the benet of the organization.
The amendment also restricts the size of signs, number of
signs on a persons property and states they must be removed
48 hours after the event.
Relay for Life member Jon Tripp asked the board to
consider allowing additional directional signs to be posted
on the day of an event. He said signs help welcome the
public to the relay when the event is underway.
Chairman Everett McBride said under the amendment,
those signs could be posted on private property.
Selectman James Keller, agreed with the proposal. Its
a starting point and I think we need some boundaries.
He questioned what the right number of times to allow
organizations to post signs would be. When do you get to a
place where enough is enough? he asked.
The amendment wouldnt limit organizations with
subgroups in town such as the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts.
Assistant Town Manager Leon Goodwin claried the
amendment, saying each section of the organization would
be allowed three sign postings per year.
Selectman Michael Lyons feared the ruling would not be
effective. There is a policy (currently), we dont enforce it at
all, he said.
Hickey said the position was eliminated by the board.
The person whos supposed to be doing this was cut from
the budget four years ago.
Hickey added a citizens petition was being brought fourth
at the town meeting regarding signs, but that it was being
proposed as a selectmens amendment rather than a zoning
amendment, and if approved, would only be advisory.
Debate over temporary signs was sparked last year when
the board noticed farmers markets signs posted for extensive
amounts of time. They then told the organization signs could
not be posted except for specied locations and on private
property on the day of the event.
Salem Farmers Market Director Jane Lang said this
amendment wouldnt help her organization, which is
struggling to reach residents.
I feel that were being segregated from other non-prots,
she said noting the market was registered with the state. We
are a registered non-prot.
Lang says the market needs to post signs on the day
of operation since the location can be hard to nd. The
summer market currently operates in Lake Street Garden
Center on Lake Street and she feels additional signs are
necessary. We take them right down, she said adding they
are only up a few hours a week.
The amendment does not allow signs to be posted in the
public right-of-way or on town property.
The planning board will hold a public hearing on
January 21 to discuss the amendment and will seek public
input.

Joe Faro has had a lifetime relationship with the Boys and Girls Club. As a youth,
he spent many days at the local Boys and Girls Club.
Today, many years later, he and his family have continued that relationship. The
difference today is that he has become a pinnacle leader within the Boys and Girls
Club Organization; offering his time, talents and philanthropy.
The Salem Boys and Girls Club honored Joe and his wife Samantha by awarding
them the rst Jeremiah Milbank Society Award because of Joes personal and
nancial commitment to the Salem Boys and Girls Club.
The Jeremiah Milbank Society is an elite group of individuals dedicated to
supporting their local Boys & Girls Clubs, states the Jeremiah Milbank Society.
As reported in the December 20, 2013, edition of the Salem Community Patriot:
Jeremiah Milbank (1887-1972) was a man of remarkable accomplishments as
a businessman, nancier, and philanthropist. Milbank led efforts to eradicate
diphtheria and organized the International Committee for the Study of Infantile
Paralysis in 1928. Because of Milbanks active interest in a cure for polio, President
Franklin Roosevelt asked him to chair the organization that was the forerunner of the
National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis.
A lifelong believer in volunteerism, Jeremiah Milbank helped President Herbert
Hoover develop the Boys & Girls Club national organization that provides support
services for clubs serving disadvantaged youth. He served as treasurer of the national
organization for more than 25 years.
Throughout his lifetime, Milbank gave a fortune to help those in need. Yet he
never sought monuments or memorials. He believed that wealth not used to help
others was wealth wasted. One instrument of that belief is The JM Foundation, which
continues the ideals of free enterprise and entrepreneurship that guided Milbanks

Salem Boys and Girls Club Youth
Cash in on Clubby Dollars
by Doug Robinson
The line to enter into the Clubby Store at the Salem Boys and Girls Club stretched like a
black Friday early hour shopping deal. Little people lined up to collect and cash in on their
years worth of earned Clubby Dollars. These Salem Boys and Girls Clubs youth have spent
a year earning, saving, and learning how to spend responsibility commented Director of
Development, Denise Dolloff.
Throughout the year, children of the Salem Boys and Girls Club were offered the opportunity
to earn Clubbies or credits, which could be turned in to purchase items from the Clubby
Store. Bank accounts were established, deposit slips were created and the children tracked
their progress with their earnings.
The children were recognized for helping out at the Boys and Girls Club, recognized for
completing their homework, as well as doing other activities, continued Dolloff.
The Clubby Store was stocked with items from art to adventure, candies to crocodiles, and
items of interest for mom, dad and all members of the family.

Bernard H. Campbell Announces Bid
for Re-Election to School Board
It has been my pleasure to have served on the Salem School Board for
nearly 16 years. Over that time, I believe that my professional background
as a practicing attorney concentrating in municipal law and my experience
as a local business owner serving the Salem community has helped me make
positive contributions to the function of the school board and the operation
of the Salem School District. Because I believe I can continue to help shape
efective educational policy, which balances the needs of our students, and
the capacity of our community, I am seeking your vote to return me to the
board for another three-year term.
Clearly one of the most important initiatives which the school board has
undertaken in the last six years has been the elementary school renovation
program. I am grateful for the communitys support for that efort. I
advocated for and supported the approach taken in March of 2013 which
will bring needed safety and code enhancements to all our elementary
schools, while focusing facility expansions in a fashion which avoids
committing funds to facilities we may not need in the future.
In the months ahead, the community is going to be engaged in a similar
discussion concerning the renovation of Salem High School. Te need for
renovations is, I believe, self-evident to all the community. Te type and
scope of renovations should match the reasonable needs of 21st Century
Learners (a key element of the recently adopted new District Strategic Plan)
and the number of students which we can efectively project. In addition,
any renovation plan should recognize the community needs which are
fulflled by Salem High School. Salem High School is, and should remain,
the heart of the Salem community.
On a personal level, I have lived and worked in this community my
entire life, graduating from Salem High in 1974, and commuting to Boston
University School of Law from 1977-1980. With my law ofce in the
community, I am in touch with local events. I have two children, both
of whom graduated from Salem High and both of whom have pursued
teaching as a profession. I make it a priority to attend activities in our
schools, whether it is broadcasting fall football, supporting performing arts,
or attending awards programs at Salem High School. I am honored to be a
member of the Salem-Woodbury Hall of Fame. For years I was active with
the local Dollars for Scholars and served as president in 1983-1984. Both
my law ofce and my family business, Campbells Scottish Highlands, are
members of the Greater Salem Chamber of Commerce and I am proud to
have been selected to receive the Bill Brown Business Person of the Year
award from the Chamber in 2010. I hold (or have held) leadership positions
in the New Hampshire Bar Association, the NH Tax Collectors Assn,
and the United Methodist Church, both locally and in the New England
area. In addition to my service on the school board, I have served a deputy
moderator approximately 20 years.
If I am re-elected to the school board, I pledge to continue the pursuit
of educational opportunities for all Salem students. Tis means active
participation, critical thinking, and analysis, working cooperatively with
the other board members and being an advocate for children in the Salem
schools.
I would appreciate your vote for school board on Election Day: March
11, 2014.
Bernard H. Campbell, Salem
Standing for Something or Fall for Anything
Most people would agree that if you do not stand for something, you will
fall for anything. Te current thinking among those of the Liberal bent and
philosophy teaches we can do what we want as long as it feels right and good
regardless that it hurts people and society as a whole.
Tis trend among many is to foster a society which has no regard for the
consequences of huge government debt, support for welfare illegal aliens,
disdain for the unborn, disregard for freedom of religion, even your right to
stand your ground to protect your family. Liberally they support smoking,
excessive drinking, unchecked welfare, and taxation without representation,
which can all lead to morally corrupt expensive disasters for a civil society.
It seems that the present Obama administration just says, Just move
along there is nothing to see here. Yet, we know they continue to have
scandal after scandal, FBI, IRS, Fast and Furious Gun smuggling, and
ObamaCare just to name a few. We Americans want honest government.
Not a destructive nor lesser credible government like we have!
I believe if a person feels the need to engage in these activities under the
U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights! So be it! However, the laws need to be
enforced and made stronger to protect the innocent people that are being
harmed in the name of liberalism and a corrupt big government.
We see every day this liberal way of life slowly destroying America,
by undermining the fabric of a sound society. Te current Paul Duck
controversy is an example of people trying to stop one person from
expressing his sincere views and beliefs. It shows that network A&E will
bow to the political oppressors of the NAACP and homosexual groups.
What needs to be said, would Martin Luther King have endorsed their so
called outrage? I believe not. He was for free speech! Unless we turn back
to believe in One nation under God, with liberty and freedom of speech
for all, we as a nation will continue to be under attack by terrorism and
forces of progressive evil founded by liberalism.
Ed Brooks, Salem
Grateful to Salem Firefghters Relief Association
It is with great appreciation I write this letter of thanks to the Salem
Firefghters Relief Association. On Monday, December 16th, Salems
seniors were once again treated to an incredible holiday feast by our local
frefghters. Nearly 300 Seniors attended the 27th Anniversary of this
fabulous event. We had to take reservations in two shifts to be able to
accommodate all who wanted to attend!
Te seniors were served an Italian luncheon of salad, home-cooked pasta,
meatballs and dessert by the most delightful and happy elves. More than
thirty frefghters, family members and friends volunteered their time and
talents to make this wonderful day possible. Tey did all the shopping,
prepping, cooking, serving and cleaning themselves.
With so many years of wonderful memories, the seniors look forward to
this time of year with great anticipation. Te frefghters have an intuitive
knack of making the seniors feel so special. On behalf of our seniors I want
to extend our sincere and tremendous appreciation to the Salem Firefghters
Relief Association for their enormous generosity in serving delicious
fare, special treatment and great fun! Its been the talk of the center with
compliments and rave reviews abounding.
Special thanks also goes to Judith Morrison, who volunteered to play the
piano and enhance the holiday party atmosphere.
Our best wishes to all for a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!

America Passes Its First Budget Since 2009
Congratulations is due (fnally) to the two-year bipartisan budget
agreement hammered out by Congress and signed by President Barack
Obama last Tursday, serving as a slightly-late but welcome Christmas
present to the country. Negotiations were headed by Democrat Patty
Murray and Republican (and last years VP candidate) Paul Ryan, and was
strongly fueled by a conscious desire to avert another government shutdown
on January 15 (unfortunately still a possibility). Te House vote was 332-
94, and the earlier Senate tally was 64-36, both bodies headed as usual by
the Democrats and a smattering of moderate Republicans, a group whose
numbers both in the Senate and the House are beginning to grow as the
Washington GOP at long last is beginning to wake up to the fact, realized
by the rest of us since Day One back in 2010, that their noxious Tea Party
faction holds as much, if not even more danger for their numbers than they
do to the Democrats.
Tis is the frst federal budget agreed to in four years by our hopelessly-
divided politicians in Washington, and predictably the only way that both
sides were able to pass the legislation was for speaker John Boehners GOP-
controlled House to fnally wake up, smell the cofee and repudiate the Tea
Party arm of their cabal. And Boehner certainly accomplished this in a
big way a couple weeks before Christmas as the budget logjam continued,
thanks to the Trent Franks and Rich Nugents of his world, by lashing out
vehemently against his regressive antagonizers, calling them ridiculous,
likening the mainstream GOP/Tea Party battle as a civil war, and fnally
verbalizing what anyone of intelligence has known for the past fve years by
intoning I think they are misleading their followers. Gee, John ... you
think?
Tis shouldve-remained-underground Republican subgenre began
forming several weeks after Obama won the presidency over John McCain
back in November, 2008. Many shadowy outside organizations like
Heritage Action and the Senate Conservative Fund helped the Tea Partiers
immeasurably in their nascent months, providing dollars and publicity,
which included many ugly anti-Obama billboards, faux news spots, etc.
Teir adherents currently are approximately 90 percent white and 60 percent
male and demonstrated early-on that they had no problem whatsoever
blasting and blaming the Obama administration for every Bush/Cheney-
caused mess that they inherited, from a ruined economy, two raging wars,
hundreds of thousands of lost jobs monthly, and the complete erosion of
faith of our overseas allies. Four years of rampant, unprecedented GOP
Senate flibustering of everything from legislation to routine presidential
judge appointments rendered the Democrats changing the flibuster rules
on November 21 a foregone conclusion to anyone following the continuing
Washington impasse.
Originally claiming to be a libertarian-style anti-tax group, a little
surveying of their voting proclivities from the Obama victory to the present
shows Tea Party pols to be just another anti-minority/women/immigrant/
entitlement program cabal whose national signifcance rests on American
conservative voters pulling the levers for them in droves back in November
2010 while many Democrat voters stayed home watching daytime TV,
protesting the fact that the United States wasnt back to the Bill Clinton
years yet. Boehner and the rest of the GOP hierarchy had no problem back
then backing these regressives, even as many of them campaigned against
and defeated solid moderate Republicans like Richard Lugar, Charlie Crist
and Bob Bennett.
But its nice to see Boehner along with other national-level Republicans
come around, even if belatedly. Te Democrat Party had to fght tooth-
and-nail over Obamas frst term to pass all the legislation that pulled
America out of the boiling cauldron George W. Bush had left it in, as
the Republican House/Senate fought against each and every bill, even
including many that in the past wouldve been embraced by any respectable
conservative. Tere was no mainstream GOP during those four years, as
the Republican- headed House and the ugly Mitch McConnell-led Senate
minority denigrated and flibustered the very legislation, job programs, etc.
that enabled our nation to recover. Tankfully there looks like theres a
chance for some enforced bipartisan cooperation between the parties over
the next three years due to the Speakers about-face regarding his Tea Party
members, who have become more of a thorn in their own partys side than
the opposition Democrats ever could be.

I support the Zoning Amendment Proposed
by the Salem Planning Department
At the Salem elections in March, I will be supporting the zoning
amendment proposed by the Salem Planning Department to permit
temporary signs for charities on residential and commercial property
under the conditions specifed. In the future I will be working with other
interested Salem residents to expand the zoning amendment, but this
proposed amendment ofers much more legal protection for charitable
organizations than they have now.
Here is an example of the shortfall of legal protection: I just learned
yesterday from the new attorney who works for the Town of Salem that signs
for charitable fundraisers on personal property are considered commercial!
Tus, signs for charitable organizations fundraisers are prohibited unless
the newly proposed ordinance is approved since commercial signs on private
property are not permitted.
At 7 p.m. Tuesday, January 21, interested citizens can attend the second
hearing on this proposed zoning amendment that will join the current
Zoning Ordinance 7:2.4.2 as paragraph 11 if adopted. So many questions
were discussed by the public and the Planning Board members at the frst
hearing that the Planning Board agreed to hold the allowed second public
hearing.
I am horrifed by the interpretation that non-proft fundraisers are
considered commercial, but thats how another experienced volunteer board
member confrmed the state law. And unless zoning specifcally permits
something, it is prohibited. Tat sounds backwards to me, (like being guilty
until proven innocent), but they claim thats NH law. He said we probably
would not get in trouble for posting signs for charitable fundraisers, but if
someone complained, the Town would have the right to remove the signs
right of our residential property. So it sounds like the current law is much
worse than my pet peeve, which is not permitting temporary signs in the
right-of-way.
Some of us are currently circulating a petition for removing the
prohibition in the Municipal Code 275-17B (not a zoning ordinance) of
signs in the right-of-way and on other Town property. Tis petition will

not afect zoning code. I have already been told that
citizens cannot change selectmens authority over
municipal code, but I feel it is important for the voters
of Salem to let their opinions be heard.
Later this year my goal is to present a citizens
petition to adopt the sign zoning like Windham
(706.6.2.7) and Hampstead, (Temporary Sign
Ordinance adopted 2005 and amended 2006). Tese
town do permit non-proft charities to put temporary
signs in the right-of-way.
Note: political signs are protected by Supreme Court
rulings so strongly that the Town is reluctant to remove
even old ones placed illegally.

Community Support for Boys &
Girls Club Appreciated
Tanks to the generosity of many community
partners, the spirit of Christmas was alive and well this
holiday season at the Boys & Girls Club of Greater
Salem. Teir combined gifts helped to provide a
wonderful holiday for many local children and their
families. As we continue to fght our way out of Te
Great Recession, a growing number of families with
young children in our community face a daily struggle
to provide lifes basic necessities.
Te Faro family and the Bank of New England
provided fnancial support for more than a dozen of
our Club families. Te Faros also gifted each and every
Club kid with a gift certifcate to many of their favorite
local stores and restaurants. Susan Dangora and the
employees of Liberty Utilities provided gifts of winter
clothing, boots and toys to more than thirty children.
Te members and friends of the Derry/Salem Elks
delivered more than a dozen baskets of food, brimming
with everything necessary to prepare a delicious holiday
meal and more.
From the staf at the Boys & Girls Club of Greater
Salem, thank you for your kindness which enables us to
help those who need us most during the holiday season
and throughout the year.

& Girls Club of Greater Salem
Setting the Record Straight on
Missing M1 Rifes
To whom it may concern, this letter is a response to
the Salem Community Patriot Tumbs up? Tumbs
down? comment in the December, 20, 2013 issue
about the rife issue.
1. I do not lie!
2. As for embarrassing Te American Legion, we do
not work behind closed doors and stand up for
right and wrong. We are a United States American
War Veterans organization, get it?
3. Te Salem Police Department agreed to keep the
M1 rifes in their armory for safe keeping after
the Salem Police Color Guard discontinued using
them.
4. Upon enquiring to Chief Donovan that the rifes
were still secure I was informed that they were sold
for a gun trade in program so the Town of Salem
could get new up to date weapons for the police
department.
5. No action was taken even though the M1
rifes were and still are property of the Federal
Government.
6. As for not having any issue with them being sold,
there is/was nothing we could do. Tey were sold,
gone ...
7. Tis past year as we are getting more younger
veterans as members and they have an interest
in forming a Color Guard. Paper work was
submitted and a letter from the Salem Police
Department was required to explain what
happened to the rifes that were assigned to the
post and got sold. Much time passed and many
calls later it is was looking like a possibility that
the Government would not approve our request
and there was still an ongoing investigation over
this issue.
8. With the possibility looming we would not receive
rifes for a new Color Guard and the Town starting
the budget process I informed a member of the
Board who is a member of the Post and attended
a meeting to of cially inform the Board and Town
that from where we sit the Town is on the hook
to replace the ten weapons if we did not receive
replacements.
9. At that meeting it was noted that Chief Donovan
apologized for selling the rifes and his apology
had been accepted, but they were gone and there
is nothing that he or we can do about it other than
getting them replaced.
10. Te Board was also informed that replacement M1
Garand rifes were about $1,000 each.
11. Te comments you made are Te rifes were not
worth $1,000 each as they were dated and in poor
condition. Interesting comment, seems like you
were familiar with the weapons, and defnitely do
not know what you are talking about!
a. Try to purchase 10 M1 Garand Rifes that are in
good condition and safe to fre that do not cost
around $1,000 each.
b. I had checked out and returned two of the
rifes over the years from the armory and upon
inspection they were in very good condition!
c. From what I was told most of the rifes were still
packed in cosmoline.
d. Your dated comment makes no sense at all.
Tey are World War II rifes; they are dated, and
very collectible! Tey can go for up to and over
$2,000 each depending on condition.
12. As for your comments about me being in cahoots
with Mr. Campbell in his campaign to smear
the Police Department is a joke. Yes, I consider
myself a friend of Mr. Campbell as well as Mr.
Hargreaves, Mr. Lyons and Chairman McBride.
Although I have only met Mr. Keller, I like him as
he puts his brain in gear before putting his mouth
in motion. Something that more people should
consider doing ...
13. If you know me at all, as a former selectman I
stood and still stand behind our employees unless
they deserve to be dismissed.
14. I could not and cannot be led by anyone as I care
about my town, my country and what is best for
them.
15. If you care to discuss this issue face to face
over a cup of cofee and not hiding behind an
anonymous article, contact me.

Salemhaven Donates Hair to Children
by Doug Robinson
Salemhavens Nursing and Rehabilitation
Technical Media Coordinator, Lynda Drouin,
along with resident, Paul Monty, donated their
locks of hair to The Childhood Leukemias
program Wigs 4 Kids.
For over 30 years, Wigs for Kids has been
providing Hair Replacement Systems and
support for children who have lost their hair due
to chemotherapy, radiation therapy, Alopecia,
Trichotillomania, burns and other medical issues
at no cost to children or their families.
The effects of hair loss go deeper than just a
change in a childs outward appearance. Hair
loss can erode a childs self-condence and limit
them from experiencing life the way children
should. With an injured self-image, a childs
attitude toward treatment and their physical
response to it can be negatively affected also.
Wigs for Kids helps children suffering from hair
loss look themselves and live their lives, writes
the Wigs for Kids Foundation.
The Wigs for Kids Mission Statement reads:
Helping Children Look Themselves and Live
Their Lives!
Lynda is a six year cancer survivor and Paul is
a wonderful man who has lived at Salemhaven
for some time. Paul has been growing his hair
for a year and a half and is very excited to
make such a charitable donation, commented
Salemhavens Community Liaison Coordinator,
Stephanie Micklon. He is going from surfer
dude to prep dude.

Community Feedback
by Michael W. Delahanty, Ed.D., Superintendent, SAU 57
This past November, as part of our strategic planning efforts, the school district asked randomly selected
community members to complete a feedback survey. Were most grateful and thankful to everyone who
took the time to complete the online survey or the paper survey that was available at three locations
within Salem. Our committee has reviewed the results and would like to share some preliminary
information.
Its encouraging to know that most of the respondents are satised or very satised with the districts
work performance. This includes individuals with children in our schools as well as many who do
not have children in district schools. However, its important to note that almost 30 percent of the
respondents without children in our schools have no opinion one way or another and another 11 percent
is dissatised. Further, 11 percent of respondents with children in our schools are not satised with the
districts performance. This is much too high.
Of interest is the balance of opinions from different age groups. Our survey provided age brackets from
18-39 years of age; from 40-65 years; and over 65 years old. Fifty-three percent of the respondents in the
18-39 group agree or strongly agree that our district is preparing students for the future. The percentage
increases to 60 and 65 percent for the other two age brackets. Also, 30 percent of the respondents in the
18-39 age group and in the over 65 group have no opinion one way or another. This indicates that we
have to do a better job of communicating our work.
It was interesting to review responses from residents who have lived in Salem for more than 20 years
and compare them with residents who have lived in Salem for ve years or fewer. The higher levels of
satisfaction, almost 80 percent, were found in the group that has lived in Salem the longest while more
than 40 percent of the respondents who have lived in Salem ve years or fewer have no opinion one way
or another about the districts work. This is another indication that we have to improve communication
strategies.
Finally, several themes emerged from the general comments provided by respondents. Among them
was clear support for a high school renovation project and concerns that families moving to the area
are choosing other communities due to the schools condition. On the other hand, several respondents
expressed concern for the tax impact of the school districts budget. Its clear that we must demonstrate
the investments direct value. Several respondents commented favorably about the completed renovation
projects and those currently underway. Others commented about our general communication efforts. It
was encouraging that more than a third of the respondents provided open comments for our review.
Again, were deeply grateful to everyone who provided valuable information to inform our
improvement efforts. There are clear opportunities to improve our work to provide a quality education to
our children and to develop our communication efforts to the community. More to come.
An initial communication strategy will be to improve our use of social media. Please take a moment
and like us on Facebook!

Tuscan Brands Offers Gift to Every
Salem Boys and Girls Club Member
by Doug Robinson
Joe Faro and his family offered
close to 300 gift certicates to the
young children who attend the
Salem Boys and Girls Club. The
gift certicates were from area
restaurants and stores.
This is one of my favorite
things to do in the world,
commented Joe Faro. Who gets
to do this? continued Faro as he
looked across the Salem Boys and
Girls Clubs gymnasium, which
was lled with boys and girls.
Faro, along with his wife
Samantha and children, Joe, Max
and Olivia stood at the top of the
lined up students and spoke with
each child personally.
We all get caught up with work,
work and work. This is just great to
see them smile, talk with them and just enjoy the moment, stated Faro.

Crimeline
Car Theft at the Workout Club
by Ron Penczak
The Salem Police Department is investigating a
motor vehicle theft that occurred on November 4.
The vehicle, a white 2009 Honda Pilot with New
Hampshire registration was stolen around 7 a.m.
from the Workout Club in Salem. After entering
the gym, the victim left the car keys in a basket
at the front desk. Shortly thereafter, a heavy set
white male, approximately 230 pounds between
5 feet 2 inches and 5 feet 5 inches tall and 30 to
35 years old, was observed (via security camera)
removing the victims keys from the basket. A
witness observed the suspect pressing the key
fob in the parking lot to locate the vehicle. The
vehicle has since been recovered in Lowell, MA
by the Lowell Police Department.
If you can identify this suspect, report it to
Crimeline of Southern New Hampshire and you
could qualify for a reward of up to $1,000. All
tips remain anonymous. Crimeline of Southern
New Hampshire telephone numbers are: 893-
6600 or 800-498-4040.
Your call will be completely anonymous and
you will be issued a secret Crimeline number,
known only to you and Crimeline. The Crimeline
phone lines do not have caller identication.
If your tip results in a conviction, you will be
awarded a $1,000 cash reward at a location of
your choosing. You will not have to interface with
the police or testify. However, if you choose to
testify the reward increases to $2,000.

Thumbs down to Shawn Patton. Who gave
you the right to go after anyone seen as a political
opponent? The SPD is now used as a local
Gestapo to smear anyone they
disagree with. With elections
coming up Im sure more is on
the way. Talk about civil rights
violations. If anyone is hauled
into court, it should be the
Deputy Fuhrer!
Thumbs down to state
representatives who vote against
gambling at Rockingham Park.
Thumbs down to TM Hickey.
I dont think the complaint
against selectman Campbell
was political. Are you serious?
Did you have a straight face when you said that?
Where is the condemnation for Deputy Patton and
Chief Breen? If Campbell sneezes wrong, theyre
ready to hang. But if a town ofcial screws up,
silence. Show some courage, Hickey. The other
two look like fools, dont be one of them.
Thumbs up to the DPW for working nearly 2
days straight keeping the roads clear.
Thumbs up to the caring neighbor who took
the time to renovate the neighborhood sign at the
corner of Cortland Drive and Ticklefancy Lane. It
really is a nice place to live!
Thumbs up to the Salem Community Patriot for
keeping the thumbs page. It is my favorite section
in the paper!
Thumbs down to the person who thumbs
down the high school renovations and the
custodial staff. You do realize that school was
built in 1966, and mechanical xes every year can
only do so much? Its not the custodial staff. They
do their job to x and clean as much as possible.
Obviously you havent been inside the school
long enough to notice it. You think you can do a
better job? Then become a janitor. Do something
about it. And the high school wouldnt need $75
million dollars for renovations if the approval for
minor renovations were approved years ago. But
no, its the people of Salem who constantly turn
down the vote for it.
Thumbs up to Mike Delahanty for calling
school for Friday on Thursday. It makes our lives
much easier!
Thumbs up/Thumbs down.
The town of Salem doesnt have
any authority over any property
outside of its property. Judges
have ruled that these so-called
agencies are private contractors.
And the people who work for
them, including police, are
private contractees. And they
are all vulnerable to lawsuit. So
our police and re, who save
lives every day, need to know
where they stand. Rod Class has
had four judges now that have
ruled the police are not part
of the State. They are private contractors. And
manager Hickley probably knows this.
Thumbs down to Pat
Hargreaves for continually
becoming confused during
meetings. No one understands
what you are talking about and
we are not sure you do either.
Thumbs up/Thumbs down.
Wow, Shawn Patten of the Salem
Police Department doesnt
think that Steve Campbell
should have an apology for the
so-called incident at Market
Basket with the reman, which
Mr. Campbell did not have.
The excuse was that Steve had
a lot of negative things to say
about the Police and the Fire
Department. Why? Because
Steve Campbell and Pat
Hargraves are the only ones on
the board that ght for the tax
payers?
Thumbs down to temporary
signs. They are all over the
place. The town should ban
them.
Thumbs up to Mike Lyons for
trying to get the BOS to support
the high school renovation.
Thumbs down to everyone else
for not supporting it.
Thumbs down to the Garcia
sisters. I let
her put a sign
on my lawn
the last time she ran for election.
Shes the one that really ruined it
for Rockingham Park. She threw
a wrench in it. So if shes not
happy with what were doing
here in Salem, Ive been here 80
years.
Thumbs up to the snow. I
hope we get a lot more.
Thumbs up to the Boys and
Girls Club for taking care of kids
in the community.
Thumbs down to Selectman Hargreaves again,
for using the BOS meeting to stand on a soap
box and self promote himself as an alleged good
guy. Salem does not have a homeless population
problem, the Police Department is very familiar
with those in the community who are having hard
times and often drive those people to the area
shelters or soup kitchens across the border. If you
really wanted to help that person at Dunkins you
should have taken that fat wad of $$$$ out of your
pocket you got from plowing snow and got him
a meal and a hotel room. Just like the guy who
lived behind Marshalls in the woods, rather than
just help him you made it a photo op. Genuine
people who help others never look for credit for
doing so but youre looking for votes again arent
you?
Thumbs up to the state expanding last call!
Salem needs to adopt that!
Thumbs up to 2014!
Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down? Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down?

On Wednesday, December 18, at approximately
3:02 p.m., Salem Police received a call from an
alert neighbor that two men were breaking into
a home through a basement window on Pattee
Road. Upon arrival, several responding ofcers
took both males into custody. One was taken
into custody after a brief struggle after exiting
the front door of the residence and the second
suspect was taken into custody on the rear deck
without incident. It appears one subject made
forced entry through the basement window and
then went upstairs and exited out the front door
when police arrived on scene. The two suspects,
identied as Timothy Fitzpatrick, 22, and Paul
Lagomarsino, 24, both of Salem, are known to
the homeowner who had thrown them out of the
home earlier. It appears they then returned to the
home later and broke in.
Fitzpatrick was charged with burglary
(felony), violation of parole/probation, criminal
trespassing, criminal mischief, and resisting
arrest. Lagomarsino has been charged with
burglary (felony) and criminal trespass. Both were
processed and later transported to Rockingham
County Jail pending arraignment.

Methuen, Massachusetts. One victim sustained
a possible leg fracture and the second victim
was later transported to Massachusetts General
Hospital in Boston because of head injuries.
Police are not releasing the victims information
at this time. The driver of the vehicle, Edward

the investigation. The Salem Police Technical
Accident Reconstruction (TAR) team responded

the suspects may have been trying to break into
cars. If anyones vehicle was broken into, they are

Marley is a sweet 8 year young Malinios/ lab X in search of a home to call his own.
He is extremely afectionate and welcomes all with lots of happy wags. Dont let
his age fool you though. He bounds up and down the stairs anticipating your next
move. He loves the outdoors and enjoys walks, car rides and playing with his
toys, but most of all loves human companionship. He bonds quickly and his
companion is his frst priority. He is extremely intelligent, has basic obedience, is
very well mannered and is house trained.
Marley gets along with other dogs and cats, but prefers lower energy dogs that
will not jump on him and expect him to be a puppy in play. Marleys ideal home
would be folks that will give him the mental stimulation and afection and just his
people to love.

Madison is a sweet cuddly girl who loves to
play. She originally came in with her sister after
being found abandoned on a job site with no
food. However, she is still extremely affectionate
and loves meeting new people. She has a lot of
energy and will play for hours. She gets along well
with other dogs and cats. She does need some
training since she is still a puppy. She would make
a wonderful family dog! Come meet Madison and
the other dogs at the Salem Animal Rescue League
(SARL) during our open hours: Thursday 2 to 7 p.m.
and Saturday and Sunday 12 to 4 p.m. We would
also like to mention that SARL currently has plenty
of kittens who are also available for adoption!

Salem Co-operative Bank recently donated
$5,000 to the Academic Basketball Awareness
(ABA) camp, which operates in partnership with
the Lawrence, Massachusetts, Boys & Girls Club.
The funding will be used to provide resources to
purchase warm clothing, sneakers, winter coats
and school supplies for kids in need.
The check was presented to Bert Hammel,
Director of Operations, Lawrence Boys & Girls
Club by Sarah Rastello, Vice President of Retail
and Business Development for Salem Co-
operative Bank at the annual Christmas party for
kids from the club. Fifty children were selected
to attend the party, based primarily on academic
achievement and their conduct both at school and
the club. They must also reside in the Lawrence
or Methuen area. Virtually all of the kids who
were chosen have been participants in the ABA
camp which is held at Merrimack College each
summer.
We are thrilled to provide a donation to such a
worthwhile program which allows these children
to know we are investing in their future, said
Sarah Rastello, of Salem Co-operative Bank. The
energy and excitement shown by the children and
the volunteers will be a fond memory during this
season of giving.

The Rev. David Yasenka and Phil Cammaratta
recently met at Howie Glynns store on
Arlington Pond in North Salem, so Phil,
on behalf of the Arlington Pond Protective
Association, could present Rev. Yasenka with
a donation from the Associations Texas
Holdum fund. The Arlington Pond Association
has for many years generously shared some
of its funds from the Charitable Gaming at
Rockingham Park with local charities. Rev.
Yasenka accepted the funds on behalf of Isaiah
58. Isaiah 58, under Rev. Yasenkas direction,
works to provide assistance to individuals and
families in need of help with homelessness and
affordable housing. He said Rockingham Park
and its charitable gaming, along with Arlington
Pond Protective Association, has brought much
needed funding to local charities. This check
will provide help and shelter to some of the
many in need of housing assistance in our
community. I am very thankful for those who
support Isaiah 58 and its work. The support we
receive from the association and others in the
community is better than winning the lottery
because it is not just money which we receive,
but the support of a caring community and its
citizens.

Piece of the Pie
Maintaining Your Maintaining Your Maintaining Your

Week 1
1-10-2014


Your Annual Financial Checkup
W.F.Boutin EA - Total Tax Solutions LLC
I am happy to participate in The Area News Groups Maintaining
Your Piece of the Pie series once again this tax ling season. However,
since the Area News Group has started printing the Salem Patriot on a
bi-weekly schedule, there are not enough weeks to present the series
as I have in the past. This year's articles will cover specic areas of tax
law as opposed to a continuing series dissecting the income tax return.
Should certain terminology in the articles be confusing, you can visit
our web site at www.totaltxsolutions.com where there will be a series
of articles similar to prior years.
My intent remains to bring to the fore the multiple options you have
to enact informed decisions regarding your upcoming expenditures.
Hopefully helping you plan for your nancial future in these challeng-
ing times.
As I am sure you are aware by now, The IRS has announced that they
will not be accepting returns until around a Jan.28th time frame. This is
due to the government shutdown experienced in late 2013. I still urge
taxpayers who may be ready to le prior to this date to schedule a time
to have their taxes prepared. Then once the IRS does go online, you
returns will be in queue for acceptance.
At Total Tax Solutions we view the preparation of the income tax
return as a time for an annual nancial checkup. The tax laws are
complicated and confusing to many individuals. Each taxpayers
situation is unique and might change from year to year. The income tax
return itself is very complex since a minor change in one area of the
return can affect several other areas of the return. Certain transactions
that occur during the year can cost you much more than you antici-
pated. This is because of the affect an increase in total income can
have on certain deductions and credits that have phase- out limits.
Of course I would recommend that you have your taxes profession-
ally prepared so that you can: 1) ask questions pertaining to your
return: 2) understand your options to lower your taxes for the next year
and 3) have someone who you can call if a particular situation should
arise during the year. With your previous years data in our computers
we can give realistic advice instead of assumptions. Many of our
clients take advantage of this service which is included in their one
time preparation fee.
I realize that not all returns are so complicated as to require profes-
sional preparation. Self preparers however should consider having their
taxes professionally prepared at least once every 3 to 4 years. Tax
preparation software is not intelligent software. The software simply
adds and subtracts data inputs based upon answering yes and no
questions. The user cannot interact with the software by asking
questions, and must spend time reviewing tax law, to answer the
questions correctly. Having a return professionally prepared once every
fourth year gives the self preparer the opportunity to verify their
understanding of the tax laws, allows them to ask pertinent questions
pertaining to their unique situations, and most important, gives them
the peace of mind that they have fullled a nancial checkup.
Mistakes made on previous returns have a three year window for
amendment. Many mistakes that we have found over the years would
have cost taxpayers much more than a tax preparation fee. Over the
past several years many of our rst time clients had errors on prior
returns. These clients beneted from amended returns with refunds of
$250 to $3000 because they decided to have their returns prepared
professionally. However, the errors found were not only from self
prepared returns but returns prepared for fees as well. In many cases
these errors were not only from an interpretation of tax law but from
inexperience. When having your tax returns professionally prepared,
do not hesitate to ask for references and question the experience of
your tax preparer.
About Total Tax Solutions: W.F. Boutin EA registered Total Tax
Solutions in the State of NH as a LLC in the summer of 2006 after
10 years experience working for a major tax preparation company
and 8 years of teaching various tax courses. The company mission

to offer knowledgeable advice so that clients can make informed
decisions regarding their nancial future, and to provide this

selected teams from a pool of nearly 170 players.
Players were nominated by head coaches from
granite state high schools.
The game promises to be a memorable one,
said Nick Vailas, game founder and president
of the Bedford & Nashua Ambulatory Surgical
Centers. Both teams East and West are made up
of players believed to be the strongest in the state.
These young men will not only take away the skills
and lessons from the work they put into this game,
but also the experience of learning what it means
to give back.
In addition to providing much needed funding
for vital CHaD services, the game aims to teach
the importance of philanthropy to its young
participants. Players voluntarily raise funds for the
cause, seeking the generosity of family, friends,
and local businesses. The game has raised more
than $500,000 since its founding in 2011. More
details about the game and full rosters can be
found at www.CHaDAllStarFootball.org.

The Salem High School Boys basketball team
may not yet have a victory in the young season, but
they do have potential. It is only a matter of time
before their hard work pays off with a win.
There is no panic; especially with only a 0-1
record in the division and a 0-3 record overall,
but the Blue Devils understand that they have
the talent to play better. They have the ability to
win. After defeating Windham High School in
a preseason jamboree, Salem High opened the
season on the road against Bishop Guertin High
School on Tuesday, December 17.
The Blue Devils started off strong, leading the
home team, 15-12, after the rst quarter. Salem
was deadlocked with Bishop Guertin at 23 points
apiece at the half. Salem lost the lead in the next
half but continued to battle throughout.
We played really well at BG, coming back from
eight or nine (points) down twice, including an 8-0
run to end the fourth quarter and send it (the game)
into overtime, said Head Coach Rob McLaughlin.
We have gotten really good, solid, consistent play
from Tim Dodier, Danny Nugent and Mike Felix.
Tim Dodier led Salem against Bishop Guertin
with 16 points, one assist and ve rebounds.
Danny Nugent aided with 11 points, four assists
and six rebounds in the game. Mike Felix had
nine points and four assists. Isaiah Latham had
11 points, two assists and four rebounds against
Bishop Guertin.
Despite showcasing incredible perseverance in
their comeback to force overtime, the Blue Devils
could not pull out the victory. Bishop Guertin
defeated Salem, 72-67, in overtime.
Over the holiday break, the Blue Devils earned
experience by competing against a pair of tough
New England squads as part of the Commonwealth
Christmas Classic. In their rst game of the
classic on Saturday, December 21, Salem played
North Andover (MA) High School. Despite some
solid performances from the Blue Devils, the
Scarlet Knights were able to take an early lead
and maintain it throughout the game. Nugent
led Salem with eight points, one assists and six
rebounds while Felix collected seven points, two
assists and two rebounds. North Andover won,
59-40.
The following week, on Friday afternoon,
December 27, Salem squared off against the
Whittier Tech Wildcats (Haverhill, MA) in
continuation of the Commonwealth Christmas
Classic. Dodier scored 16 points while collecting
six rebounds to lead the charge for Salem. Felix
scored 13 points while picking up a pair of
rebounds.
After leading for the rst three quarters of the
game, the Blue Devils suffered a minor collapse
that wound up costing them the win. Salem led
40-33 going into the fourth quarter but scored only
eight points in the nal stanza while surrendering
19 points to the Wildcats. Whittier Tech walked off
the court the victors, 52-48.
Despite the close losses thus far in the season,
the Blue Devils refuse to be discouraged. Salem
will travel to Manchester to take on Trinity High
School on Wednesday, January 8, with the hopes of
stopping their skid.
Boys Basketball Shows Potential Despite Losses
by Jacob Gagnon
Just before holiday break, the Salem High School
Girls gymnastics team, led by Head Coach Kyle
Redmond, hosted Bishop Guertin, Windham
and Alvirne High Schools. The defending State
Champion Blue Devils continued their stellar
start to the season with an overall team victory to
remain undefeated.
Salem High nished with a team score of 129.7
points, ahead of runner-up Bishop Guertin who
recorded 127.15 team points. Nina Whittaker, one
of Salems toughest competitors, had a tremendous
evening, leading in every event. Whittaker earned
a score of 9.3 in the vault, 8.5 on the bars, 9.2 on
the beam, 9.3 on the oor and an overall score of
36.3 to take the rst overall spot.
Other Salem placers included Kadie Tommasi,
who nished with a score of 8.15 on the bars to
earn third place, and Sarah Hale, who recorded a
score of 8.2 on the beam for third place.
The Blue Devils momentum has not slowed
since their championship victory last season.
Salem returned to competition on Wednesday,
January 8th in their home gym.

This March, school board members will be
asking voters to approve three bonds, totaling
nearly $64 million, to renovate Salem High
School.
Board members unanimously voted Monday
to adopt a bonding plan over the course of three
years, withdrawing nearly $21 million each year,
to complete the project.
Superintendent Michael Delahanty said rst
year expenses would be covered by the initial
bond, and the remaining two years would fund
the completion of the project. Most rst year costs
would be soft costs such as design, he added.
Groundbreaking could begin as early as 2015,
with funding coming from the second bond
installment. Well have from April to December
to meet our cost obligations, Delahanty said,
adding the second bond would cover that cost.
The board also approved taking bonds out over
the course of 25 years as opposed to 30 to save
nearly $4.5 million in interest. The extra $4.5
million is substantial, Board Member Michael
Carney said.
While an overall tax impact is yet to be
calculated, a taxpayer would pay a maximum of
$338 annually on a $300,000 house for the 25-
year plan.
The board projects an interest rate of three
percent on the bonds and fears delaying the
project would lead to higher costs. The school
needs to be renovated, said Delahanty. Its never
going to be cheaper.
Delahanty said interest rates could increase over
the second two years of the project, but didnt
estimate an increase over one-half percent. We
can show what higher interest rates are going to
cost, but its still never going to be less costly than
it will be right now, he said.
But while the project costs have been
calculated, the tax rate impact remains
undetermined. A 1995 bond to renovate
Woodbury Middle School will come to a close in
2016, reducing the districts debt and yearly tax
impact.
Plans to renovate the high school came as a
result of the state notifying school administration
of eligibility for funds to renovate the vocational
center.
The district is eligible for $11 million from the
state, to offset the estimated $75 million total price
tag on the project.
Delahanty said the renovation committee
did extensive research and completed a
comprehensive plan to renovate the building.
He said multiple alternatives were discussed,
including building an entirely new school, and the
proposed plan best t the bill.
Renovation costs for the vocational center will
be billed directly to the state and not be included
on the bond, Delahanty said.
In 2013, voters appropriated over $16 million
to renovate Fisk and Soule elementary schools and
provide repairs to Haigh School.
High School Renovation Bond Plan Approved
Bosch did not end there as 100 past and present
students ooded the theater hall. The students
took the stage in true ash mob style and began
singing You Raise Me Up to their beloved teacher.
Tears soon ooded Mrs. Boschs face, as well as
many members of the audience, as her students
surrounded her in vocal harmony. After the song
was over, former student after former student took
the microphone to tell their personal story of how
the music department head changed their lives for
the better.
Mrs. Bosch, who was very touched and
surprised, had no idea what was in store for her
that evening thanks to the organized secrecy of
graduate Hudson Wells who had been planning
the surprise since October. I dont know how
they kept it a secret, said Bosch, My God, what
a tribute.
Hudson reected on the tribute by saying,
I visited Bosch occasionally throughout the
years and last school year when we had some
time she told me she was considering retiring
that next year. Immediately, I had an idea to do
something for her. My mind went to the movie
Mr. Hollands Opus. Mr. Hollands Opus was a
1995 American drama lm Directed by Stephen
Herek and was nominated a Golden Globe Award
for best screenplay. By thinking of an event that
would give Bosch the appreciation that was due,
Hudson began thinking of a ash mob style tribute
due to its growing popularity. After discussing
his ideas with his former classmate and owner
of the Barking Bean in Salem, Cassie Scoeld,
Hudson and Cassie worked out the details to
the event. Cassie graciously opened up her caf
for the students to practice once a week in the
evening. Soon after meeting with another former
student and current music teacher of Nashua,
Julia Kiley, the plans seemed to come together by
the middle of October. The former students on
a mission soon had regular practices at the high
school in Mr. Clausens band room to perfect their
performance. We let few people outside of the
alumni know about this event, said Hudson who
continued explaining, Since October I have been
aiding Mrs. Bosch in her classroom once a week
to keep an eye on things and plan accordingly, as
well as to spend time with an amazing woman.
Hudson ended his interview by stating, Mrs.
Bosch has been a teacher, mentor, mother and
friend to so many. She has gone out of her way
to give guidance and counsel whenever and
wherever it is needed. Her life is dedicated to
seeing students mature into adults with vision for
their lives. Many have entered that chorus room
with no clue about their future and left feeling
condent about who they are and their future.
The amount of time and energy that Hudson
Wells, as well as the many other former students,
put into this tribute goes to show the power
of Mrs. Boschs guidance, leadership and
encouragement. This great teacher was not only
fully recognized by her former students for her
many years of service to this community that night
but will now always be remembered by the nearly
1000 audience members who witnessed the
emotional tribute.

The Salem High School hockey
team continued to build upon their
strongest start to a season with a
crushing 4-1 win over Pinkerton
Academy on Saturday night, January
4 at the Salem Icenter. With the
victory, the Blue Devils have
improved to 8-0 on the season and
4-0 within their league.
After a slow start for Salem,
the Astros appeared ready to end
the Blue Devils unbeaten streak.
Pinkerton led the struggling Salem
squad, 1-0, at the end of the rst
period. The Blue Devils, however,
returned to the ice for the next period
eager to take control of the game.
We started moving our feet. For
some reason, weve been coming out
at in the rst period. Weve got to
change something, said Head Coach
Mark McGinn. In the second and
third periods, our feet started moving
and the intensity picked up a little bit. (I) kind of
lit a re under their butts and got them moving. It
was a big difference.
Following a pair of tripping penalties against the
Astros, Salem struck back with a power play goal
from Kyle Nagri, assisted by Alex Ring, at the 6:30
mark of the second period to tie the game at one
goal apiece.
The Blue Devils continued to pressure
Pinkertons defense until they found the net again,
this time to take the lead. Paul Antkowiak scored
with an assist from Cody Soucy at 12:38 in the
second period.
We get behind, or its tied, but we dont give
up. I saw a lot of good things with balance of our
lines. I got a goal from each line, said McGinn.
The team is kind of pulling together.
The Blue Devils continued their relentless
pursuit of victory in the third period. Salem
continued to build their lead. A little over three
minutes into the third period, Salems John Gray
scored on an assist from Matt Hayes to take a
commanding 3-1lead. John Gray did a great job.
Hes a big, strong kid, said McGinn.
Salems goalie, Sam MacDonald, made a
number of impressive saves in between the pipes
for the Blue Devils. MacDonald blocked 13 shots
on goal from Pinkerton while only surrendering a
single point in the win. My goalie (MacDonald)
is doing great. Our defense has been doing
great, said McGinn. MacDonald, Ring and
Antkowiak led the defensive charge for the Blue
Devils that held Pinkerton to a single goal.
Salems Kyle Svenson added a victory-sealing,
unassisted goal at 11:36 of the third period after
a breakaway. MacDonald held strong in goal
for the nal minutes of the contest as the Astros
unleashed one nal onslaught that led to nothing.
MacDonald and Salem held on for the win.
We didnt play a great game, from start to
nish. What we need to build on is putting
together three periods and seeing what we can
really do, said McGinn. There is a ton to build
on even when you are 8-0. Its just getting better
and better and better instead of just peaking.
The Blue Devils Hockey squad, focused and
healthy, will be a tough team to beat as the season
progresses.

The George Bossi Lowell
Holiday Wrestling Tournament,
hosted by Lowell High School in
Massachusetts, is the testing ground
for the best grapplers that New
England high schools have to offer
at the midway point in the season.
With over 70 teams competing,
the 48th annual Lowell Holidays,
perhaps the toughest tournament of
the season, separates the champions
from the contenders.
The Salem High School wrestling
squad, led by Head Coach Wes
Decker, was focused on competing to
the best of their abilities in the two-
day tournament. A number of Blue
Devil grapplers delivered tremendous
efforts at the tournament. While
Salem did not place any wrestlers,
a number of Blue Devils collected
victories that nearly pushed them
into the placing round.
Avery Santiago, at 138 pounds,
continued his career year by nishing
up with a 3-2 record at the Lowell
Holiday Tournament. After falling
in his rst bout, Santiago went on to
win three matches in a row. Santiago
scored a 9-2 decision victory over a
Westford Academy (MA) grappler,
pinned a wrestler from Mt. Hope (RI),
before earning a 4-0 decision over a
Bedford High School (NH) opponent.
Also leading the Blue Devils
at Lowell High School was John
Bartose, in the 195-pound weight
class. Bartose, like Santiago,
nished with the best record at
the 2013 event for Salem with
a 3-2 record. Bartose pinned
his rst three opponents of the
tournament in minutes to advance
to the championship quarternals.
Bartose was unable to maintain
his momentum and lost a pair of
matches by decision to close out his
tournament performance. Still, both
Bartose and Santiago showed that
they were able to compete with the
toughest talent the region has to offer.
Ryan Cote, at 106 pounds, went
2-2 in Lowell, collecting two pin
falls. At 113 pounds, Braden Boulet
went 2-2, winning his rst two
matches before falling in the later
rounds. At 120 pounds, Ed Page
nished with a 1-2 record, recording
a 10-2 major decision victory in the
rst round of the tournament. Jake
Genest, at 145 pounds, continued
to improve with a 2-2 record on
the day. Genest earned two pin fall
victories in the tournament.
At 152 pounds, Chris Fernandes
nished with a 1-2 record, pinning
his rst opponent and advancing
with a bye before suffering a pair
of losses in later rounds. In the
170-pound weight class, Nascia
Reyes nished with a 2-2 record
including two, rst-round pins. Mike
Poulin, at 220 pounds, nished
the tournament with a 1-2 record,
pinning the rst opponent he faced in
the tournament.
The Blue Devils have gone into
the new year unbeaten as a team.
Salem defeated Keene High School,
42-39, and Exeter High School, 42-
28, to start the season. A number of
Blue Devils, including Santiago and
Bartose, are capable of great things
in 2014. With each wrestler on
the team rapidly improving, Salem
will continue to strive towards their
ultimate goal of earning a division
title.
