TemporarySouthbound I-93

On Ramp Openingin Salem

submitted by the NH Department of TransportationThe New Hampshire Department of Transportation

announces the opening of the new temporary southboundon ramp located at the exit 2 interchange with PelhamRoad and Interstate 93. Work crews anticipate openingthe ramp on Friday, October 11, weather permitting.

Construction operations will require motorists travelingon Pelham Road eastbound to be in the right lane whiletraveling towards the intersection in order to access I-93southbound. Motorists traveling westbound will needto be in the left lane to access I-93 southbound. Bothof these trafc movements are the opposite of what iscurrently in place.

The new on ramp will merge with I-93 south of the newinterchange instead of the current location north of theexisting bridge.

Message boards and new signing along Pelham Roadwill be in place to assist motorists with the new trafcconguration. Motorists should remain alert whiletraveling through the construction zone and obey all

posted signs.This work is part of the I-93 widening and reconstruction

project in the vicinity of Exit 2. The general contractor forthe $41 million project is George R. Cairns & Sons, Inc., ofWindham, New Hampshire.

by S. Aaron ShamshoyanFarmers Market Signs Forbidden fromRight-Of-Way

Signs for the farmers market cannot

be posted on town land or commercialproperty per ruling of selectmen last week,September 30, citing its operation as anenterprise.

Members of the Salem Farmers Markethave been battling selectmen for permissionto post directional signs every Sunday whenthe market is open. The organization wastold over the summer to remove existingsigns but was later permitted to post themwhile the market was open.

The board has now decided they cant beplaced on town right-of-ways or commercial

property indenitely.Farmers Market Director Jane Lang said

the signs were critical for business. She saidduring a period of time over the summer

when the market wasnt allowed to postsigns, patronage suffered. There wasdeantly a decline in our attendance, shesaid. Its really important we get thesesigns on the day of the market.

Salem resident Eunice Miller toldselectmen she operates a small chocolatebusiness and the farmers market is her onlymeans of retail. She said when signs weretaken down, sales suffered. In the twoweeks the signs werent up, sales droppeddramatically, she said.

Selectman Michael

Lyons said the market was operating as anenterprise and allowing sign placementwould provide an unfair advantage overcompeting local businesses.

You moved from being a communityevent to really an enterprise, Lyons toldLang, saying when the event was held onlytwice a year on the grounds of HedgehogPark, it was more of a community event.

Selectman Stephen Campbell agreed.The individuals selling there arebusinesses, he said.

Despite the boards arguments, SelectmanPatrick Hargreaves motioned to allow sixsign locations on town right-of-ways. Its abenet to the community, he said. To me,

by S. Aaron ShamshoyanRenovating Salem High School is no

small task so to help with the projectschool board members agreed to enter intoa $20,000 contract with a constructionmanager.

Six proposals were submitted bycompanies competing for the contractbut renovation committee membersrecommended Harvey Construction ofBedford, New Hampshire to lead therenovation charge.

Out of the six proposals received, threewere invited to give presentations tocommittee members. Harvey was thoughtto be the most comprehensive.

Our belief is that Harvey did the bestjob, Superintendent of Schools MichaelDelahanty said. A construction manageroversees all the contract work.

But a construction manager hastraditionally been chosen after votersapprove the bond. Delahanty said becauseof the complexity of the project, it wasrecommended one be selected prior tothe vote. The high school project is anincredibly complex project, he said.

Working with Harvey, the committeehopes to bring rm costs for the project tovoters in March. The current proposal of

$75 million for the renovation project willbe rened and a maximum cost will beestablished.

Delahanty said Harvey will seek subcontractors before the bond proposal andbe able to provide the district with a nalmaximum price.

Harvey will review the project andprovide the district with an estimated cost.Next, they will solicit bids from contractorsand review nal quoted. Once complete,Harvey will guarantee the district a nal

maximum cost and if exceeded, thedistrict will not be accountable for theover expenditure. Construction costs areestimated at $57.9 million, which doesnot include soft costs such as furniture andsome engineering.

If a bond is passed, Harvey will stayon as the project manager at a cost of$847,000 Delahanty said, but if the bondfails, they will be compensated $20,000 fortheir work. Theyll get paid for their workleading up to the bond.

Harvey has a track record of high schoolconstruction and renovation. Delahantysaid they recently built Windham HighSchool, Exeter High School, SanbornRegional School, and the Laconia CTE

Donations Will Help the FoodPantries During the Busy SeasonI would like to recognize and thank Salem Cooperative

Bank and the Sodexo company for their recent food and giftcard donations to our food pantry. Te food came at a timewhen Saints Mary and Joseph Parish community has beenstruggling to keep the food pantry shelves stocked so that wecan help struggling families in Salem. Te Bank not onlycollected food but also cash donations which were then usedto purchase Market Basket gift cards in the amount of $300.In this way, families are able to purchase fresh vegetables andother perishables to supplement the canned and boxed foodsthat we provide.

It is good to live in a community that has a heart that caresfor those who are struggling with their nances because ofunemployment or underemployment. We will do our bestto be good stewards of what has been entrusted to our Parish.God Bless You!

Deacon David Costello, Saints Mary & Joseph Parish,Christian Service, Salem

Appreciation for All the VolunteerWork that Goes into SalemFestTe own of Salem and the Schools SAU 57 deserve a lot

of credit for their support in creating Salemfest. Each year theDPW provides a lot of help putting up the long, high stringsof colorful pennants. Rick Russell and Dave Wholley, RichHoule, and Scott Menario and Kelly Demers make this anenjoyable task. We put them up so high this year that I had toask for help getting some of them down, too!

Salemfest also gets priceless help from our SchoolAdministrative Unit 57, as our school district is formallynamed. Dr. Delahanty gives his approval for distributing the

yers and the signs, and Linda Cornwell coordinates with theschool Maintenance staff. Tey kindly deliver the boxes ofyers to each school, as well as place the signs at each school,

excellent places for public awareness. And then they returnthe signs after the event. Wonderful!

We also appreciate the private schools, St. Josephs, FirstChristian, and the Birches, for distributing the yers to alltheir students. Tis is also an apology to the Birches, becausethe volunteer who was going to deliver the yers got delayed

by other pressing matters and the yers were discovered afterSalemfest. Next year we will do better, I promise.

o send ideas for next year, feel free to email me [email protected].

Good Reason to Stand FirmTank you, Mr. President, for creating the wonderful

Affordable Care Act - not. In rolling it out, the GAO and theCBO have both raised their cost estimates past $2 rillionwhile Medicare patients and the private sector suffer. Whathave been the consequences so far?

Tere are cascading layoffs at many companies, largeand small. Millions of jobs are disappearing to yawns from

Obama. Te lowest paid workers, who need every dollarto survive, nd a signicant reduction of hours to part timestatus and part time workers have lost precious hours toremain under 30 hours a week. Other companies are forcingtheir workers families onto Government programs which arenot even provisioned or ready for use. Worst, the provisions ofthe act make hiring illegal aliens better than hiring Americansfor open jobs! Illegals are not counted towards the penaltiessuffered by un-insured workers under Obamacare!

Obama has allowed for big corporation to delay the effectsof this nefarious law. Congress has exempted itself andothers in the Government Union from the ill effects which

we must live under. As part of passing Obamacare, we werepromised our current Healthcare plan and doctor could beretained which was a bald faced lie even at the time. Te

biggest reason for passing the act was that 46 Million wouldbe insured which was the goal- isnt even fullled over30 Million will remain uninsured. Worse yet, 40 percent ofdoctors say they will retire in 2015, and with a shortage ofover 100,000, where will the patients go? Like all socialistEurope and Canada, into 6-12 month waits!

Combined with radical government hyper overspendingit seems clear the true goal is bankruptcy of the USA and theelimination of our economic dominance in the world. Whatdoes that mean? What happens when the dollar which isworth 2 cents compared to 1910 is no longer the currencyof record for the world? Look at Britain after World War 2 30 years of poverty. Shut the government down and save themoney shut Obummercare down and save the country!

Tea Party WinningRepublican Civil War

Te radical ultra-right wing ea Party has experiencedgreat success in destroying the Republican Party. Tey havesuccessfully used the threat of primary c hallenges supportedby large sums of outside money to intimidate moderateRepublicans into supporting the right wing agenda. ModerateRepublicans like Senator Richard Lugar of Indiana andGov. Charles Cris t of Florida have been thrown out of offi cefrom primary challenges along with many others. Recentexamples of ea Party inuence include defeating modestattempts at background checks in the wake of the Newtown,C massacre, defeating comprehensive immigration reformsupported by both the Senate and the White House and mostrecently shutting down the Federal Government because theywant Obamacare defunded. In addition to primary challenges

the other tactic is the Hastert Rule which is currently beingused to control House Speaker Boehner. Tis rule createdby the Republican House Caucus instructs the Speaker tonot call a oor vote on any issue that is not supported by amajority of the majority party. What this means is that amargin as small as 26 percent of the House can effectivelyblock any legislation from coming to a vote. Te Speakercould ignore this tomorrow and re-open the FederalGovernment but in two days he will be thrown out by theea Party. Tis small minority of right wing zealots hastaken over the House of Representatives and is manipulatingthe Speaker. Tey are waiting for the President to gut theAffordable Care Act.

Te ea Party and their deep pocket friends have b eenselling the idea that Americans do not want the A.C.A.Tey cite polls that only 36 percent support the law. Whatthey fail to mention is that an additional 16 percent thinkthe law does not go far enough. It is amazing that such anunpopular law was able to produce 4.7million web site visitsfrom citizens in the rst 24 hours seeking a competitiveinsurance rate or the ability to sign up for health insurancefor the rst time. Does the ea Party think people want togo back to the previous healthcare system which featured

runaway insurancerates, sick peoplebeing deniedcoverage in order

to maximize prots, emergency rooms being used by peoplewithout insurance as a primary care facility tying up personneland expensive equipment and sending the bill to people with

insurance by means of higher rates.Te A.C.A. was passed by b oth the House and Senate

signed into law by the President and was found Constitutionalby a conservative Supreme Court. It was also re-arguedduring the 2012 election which the Republicans lost badly.Tey also lost Senate seats, House seats, and would have lostcontrol of the House if not for nationwide gerrymandering ofCongressional districts. A responsible course of action for theRepublicans would be to support the law, collect data on whatis working, what needs improvement and submit thoughtfullegislation for Representatives to consider. Tis irresponsibleexercise in brinkmanship by the ea Party is hurting 800,000federal employees, damaging the economy, and costing thegovernment millions in lost productivity. Te DemocraticParty does not benet from this mess. A moderate RepublicanParty ensures a vigorous policy debate with Democrats thatis good for the nation. It is time for the moderates to standup to the ea Party and reclaim the Republican Party; if notwe can all get use to Senator Cruz reading Dr. Seuss nursery

rhymes on the U.S. Senate oor for many years to come.

Water and Fire

During Fire Prevention Week (October 6-12), I joinlocal water utilities throughout New Hampshire inreminding residents about the critical but often overlookedrole that local water supplies and the systems that deliverthem play in ghting res and protecting public saf ety.

A properly functioning, well-maintained water systemdelivers reliable supplies at a high pressure and volume thatcan mean the difference between a small, manageable reand a destructive, raging inferno.

But water infrastructure - the pipes, distribution mains,wells, pumping equipment, and other components invisibleto the public eye - is aging and rapidly disintegrating.

Tis condition is especially prevalent in New Englandwhere a number of public water systems are more than 100years old.

o safeguard communities from the ever-present threatof re, local communities must invest in rehabilitating,improving, and replacing their water infrastructure so thatlife-saving water can ow uninterrupted from a source of

supply, through a network of underground pipes, to thecorner hydrant.

I also encourage local communities to support theNational Fire Protection Associations campaign to preventres in the kitchen, the leading area of origin for homeres, by urging their residents to be more ca utious andvigilant, especially when using the stove (visit www.nfpa.org for more information).

During Fire Prevention Week, water works professionalsthroughout New England applaud our regions reghtersfor their courageous, dedicated, and seless public service.

For more information on the value of water, visit www.

great.September has been a very busy month and

First Grade is off to a great start. The new rstgraders have been getting to know all about

each other and are learning to read each othersnames. They are working very hard to hear lettersounds, nd words they already know in theenvironment and read those very important sightwords. Theyve made great book choices andlove reading quietly to themselves in their privatereading spots. Some students have already startedworking toward their Barron B.

This month, the rst grade classrooms willbe full of books about apples, pumpkins andeverything related to the season of fall. Applesand pumpkins will also be used as they explorethe 5 Senses. Just think of all the ways they usetheir senses as they cut into a pumpkin and scoopout the seeds

In math, they have been discovering all theplaces numbers can be found. Youll nd FirstGraders searching for examples of how numbersare used in our world everywhere they go.

Calendars, clocks, thermometers, sale yers andbus numbers are just a few examples. They arebecoming very good observers. Learning numbervalue, comparing numbers, making tallies andcounting on a number line are some of the manyways they are exploring numbers . They have

been using this knowledge about numbers as theydelve into activities connected to addition andsubtraction.

First graders left self-portraits, books andactivities for their parents to see at Open House.They asked their parents if it was fun sittingin their little chairs while listening to theirteachers talk about all the things that will happenthroughout the year.

Everyone had a wonderful time showingtheir Grandparents (and special friends) theirclassrooms and the many new things theyvelearned so far. As you can tell, Grade One hasbeen very busy since school started and everyoneis looking forward to an exciting year.

A big Hero-Gram goes out to the manyparents who helped them get on and off the bus,nd their lines and learn their way around Barronduring the rst weeks of school.

by Gloria LavoieSalems School Resource Ofcer Matthew

Norcross grew up in this town and now heis raising his family here. In fact, he boughta house in his old neighborhood and hischildren attend Fisk School and WoodburyMiddle School, just like he did. In addition tohis childhood zip code, he still maintains hisred hair, his boyish looks and a few freckles.He is perpetually upbeat and charming andeveryone happily greets this police ofcer witha smile.

Surprisingly, a career in law enforcement

was not this ofcers original plan. Norcrossinitially went to school to be a photographer.I thought I would be taking pictures atweddings every weekend but then I didntwant to give up my weekends, he explained.He pursued a degree in Criminal Justice andin 1994, Norcross became a police ofcer. Iworked patrol up until 2005 and then I washired as School Resource Ofcer and workedat Salem High School until 2010. I lovedworking at the high school. We made animpact with a lot of the kids and with parentswho were looking for help and I enjoyed it,he continued.

In 2010, an opportunity to reach out to evenmore of the community, Norcross became theSafety Ofcer; working in elementary schools,working with senior citizens, community projectsand a neighborhood watch program. I wasworking on a project called Operation SafeReturn, which was for people with dementia and

Alzheimers. I was helping the elderly in avoidingscams in the community, but then there werebudget cuts and they eliminated the two resourceofcers and the Safety Ofcer, he explained.

The Salem School District stepped up and said

they would pay for three resource ofcers. Now,

Norcross spends hisweekdays going fromschool to school to talkto students about real lifeevents. Norcross admitsthat times have changed,and so has the role of aSchool Resource Ofcer.Stranger Danger andbicycle safety may havebeen the focus 35 yearsago when the SafetyOfcer came to his

elementary school butnow Norcross addressesthings like bullying andhow to dial 911 fromyour parents cell phone.

Norcross has a keyfor each school in townand explained howsome towns have poorworking relationshipsbetween the police andthe school districts. Wehave a great relationshiphere, he explained. In

an emergency, having accessto schools in a lockdown is

imperative and Norcross is glad that the schooldistrict is so accommodating.

Norcross position as Resource Ofcer is perfectfor raising a family, he explained. For many years,he has been asked why he chooses not to move

up in rank,I justreally lovemy job andthe hoursare perfectfor twoworkingparents,he happilyadmits.He andhis wifeStephaniehave threechildren;Patrick, 11,Charlotte9, andKatherine

7. Thefamilylikes to gocampingand visitBostonssites and

enjoy shows and 4th of July on the Esplanade.This job is so rewarding, he explained. Herecently was asked for help by a student witha bicycle chain that had fallen off. He enjoysthe oppor-tunities like this to connect with thechildren that he spends his days visiting. I lovethat the kids can talk to a police ofcer and thatthey can trust a police ofcer enough to talk tothem and ask questions, he stated.

I want to teach the importance of communityto my kids and Ive brought them around townto show them the Fire Department, PoliceDepartment and the Highway Department and

how they all work. I have involved them involunteering around town, recently having them

paint over grafti around Salem. Ive taken mykids to the Lazarus House and Pantry in Lawrenceso that they can appreciate what they have. Mykids are attending religious education classes andhave an understanding of the importance of Godin their lives.

Im trying to stay involved with my children asmuch as I can by coaching my daughters softballteam (three years now). Ive been an assistantcoach for my sons baseball team and now forhis football team. I was also assistant coach formy daughters basketball team last year and willprobably do it again.

I love working with the Salem School Districtand interacting with the students, families and

staff. Ive been a part of the National Associationof School Resource Ofcers (NASRO) for eightyears now, having attended a national conferencein Phoenix, AZ years ago. Ive been activelyworking with the Massachusetts Juvenile PoliceOfcers Association (MJPOA) for the pastve years being a member of their planningcommittee for their Annual Regional School SafetyConference, which has been held in Norwood,MA for the past three years with an attendanceof 300-plus police and school personnel. I helpNASRO train new School Resource Ofcers withinthe region, having hosted classes here in Salem.Recently Ive assisted the Salem School Districtby joining their strategic planning committee, tobetter our schools in the future, Norcross said.

When you watch Norcross engaging with thestudents, it is quite clear that he has found hiscalling in life. Norcross was visiting a rst gradeclassroom to discuss 911. He addressed the

class, Im here to keep you

safe, to make you feel safe andI get to talk to you about safety.Do you know your address? Ifyou dont, go home today andask your parents.

Norcross easily madeconnections with each child andengaged in several real life roleplaying scenarios in which hehelped the students determinewhich situations warranted anemergency call. Ok, yourMom is cooking spaghetti andmeatballs and she is reallymessy! She dropped a meatballon the oor and slipped in itand now she is not responding,Norcross explained. Hispatience and attentiveness tothe students is remarkable. Heis funny and engaging. The

children raised their handsfor each question, totallyengrossed. He talked aboutgetting lost, what to do and ifit was an emergency if you lostyour homework. A few childrenadmitted that they would call911 if they could not nd theirhomework. This is why wecome, laughed Norcross.

He is fabulous. He is likea magnet to these kids. He

truly listensto the kidsand makesthem feelimportant,explainedSoule Schoolrst gradeteacher Mrs.

Winter Home Safety:Quick Steps to Help Protect Your Family

(BPT) - As cooler weather descends,homes heat up and so does the risk your

family could experience a home re orcarbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Ac-cording to the National Fire ProtectionAssociation, most home res and COpoisonings occur in the winter. Besidesheating appliances, seasonal activitiessuch as increased cooking, candle usageand holiday decorations all add to therisk. In fact, the U.S. Fire Administrationreports that each year winter res claiman average of 945 lives, injure 3,825people and cause more than $1.7 billionin property loss.

To help keep your home worry freefrom re and CO this winter, the expertsat Kidde Fire Safety have developed aquick check list. Answer these questionsto customize your winter home improve-ment projects with tasks that save money,reduce a common household annoyance and increase safety.

One in four older homes needs to update re safety equipment.How old are your alarms?

* Replace smoke alarms every 10 years and CO alarms every veto 10 years, based on the alarm model.

* Purchase an alarm with a 10-year sealed lithium battery, suchas Kidde Worry-Free smoke and CO alarms, to receive hassle-freeprotection for a decade -- no need to change a battery or hear alow-battery chirp. Available at retailers nationwide, with each alarminstalled saving you $40 over its life in battery costs.

Seventy-ve percent of homeowners dont know where to installsmoke alarms. Do you have enough?

* Fire experts recommend placing smoke alarms on every oorand inside/outside all bedrooms. Choose alarms with room-specicfeatures, such as an LED light in the hallway, or a voice noticationfor the bedroom.

* Place a CO alarm near sleeping areas and on each oor. Keepthem 10 feet away from fuel-burning appliances.

Do your alarms incorporate the newest features and technology?* A sealed-in 10-year lithium battery not only continuously powers

the alarm, its also tamper-proof and cant beremoved.

* A digital display shows the level of COin the air and updates the reading every 15seconds.

*An intelligent multi-sensor responds fasterto real res and CO, while reducing nuisancealarms like those commonly caused by cook-ing.

*An end-of-life appliance warning lets youknow when to replace your alarms.Do you need other safety products?

* Fire extinguisher - place one within reachin rooms where res often begin: kitchen,garage, bedroom, living area

* Escape ladder - place in second- and third-oor rooms as an alternative escape routeHave you developed a family escape plan?

*Create a plan and practice regularly. Knowtwo ways out of every room and who willassist children and loved ones with mobility/

health issues.Do your children know their address and how to dial 911?

* Post your home address and emergency phone numbers on therefrigerator.Are your appliances and chimney winter-ready?

* Have a professional inspect fuel-burning appliances to ensurethey function properly and that they vent outside.

* Have a professional clean or inspect replaces annually. Birdsand small animals can causeleaves to build up on top of thechimney, preventing carbonmonoxide from venting prop-erly.

* Create a 3-foot clutter freezone around replaces, spaceheaters or wood stoves.

Home Renovation for Baby Boomers:Preparing for the Next Stage in Life

(BPT) - Lived in your home for years?Love your neighborhood? The thought ofmoving away from your homes comfort,warmth and memories can be unsettling.Instead of moving out, consider updatingand remodeling your home to accommo-date your future needs.

Eight-nine percent of Americans 55 andolder have embraced this aging-in-placetrend, and hope to remain in their ownhomes for the long-term, according to the

National Association of Home Builders(NAHB).As Americans strive to maintain

their independence and stay in theirown homes longer, many take on homeimprovements projects to reduce mainte-nance while improving accessibility and energy efciency, says Pella Windows& Doors spokesperson Kathy Krafka Harkema. As they stretch budgets and pre-pare for retirement, todays savvy homeowners plan home renovation projectswith comfort, convenience and ease of maintenance in mind.

Consider remodeling projects to help enjoy your home longer, more safelyand efciently as you age.Home improvement for the long-term

Most homeowners realize the importance of upkeep and maintenance. Aleaky window or drafty door wastes energy and can drive up utility costs.

To help save energy and money year-round, conduct a home improvementcheckup by looking for signs that its time for potential repairs.

* Check major systems that help protect the outside of your home - the roof,gutters, siding and exterior nish.

* Inspect interior components like heating, cooling, chimney and electricalsystems.

* Make sure enough attic insulation is in place to help prevent ice dams.* Look for signs of deterioration, damage or potential problems. Replace or

repair worn or broken items before they can lead to more extensive or expensiverepairs.

* Check your homes windows and doors. Are there drafts, chips or breaks inthe nish, condensation or fogging between panes of glass, or are they hard toopen? Any of these signs can mean its time for replacement.

* Position storage areas, like shelves, for easy access.* Raise appliances, like washers, dryers, dishwashers and stoves, to minimize

bending and lifting.* Replace old appliances and xtures with more energy-efcient options,

like ENERGY STAR-qualied Pella 350 Series vinyl windows and patio doors, to help save on futureutility bills.

* Determine whether your home will be ready for your next stage in life byreviewing the AARP home livability checklist.Window replacement adds light, convenience

As we become older, our eyes require more light to see. Choose ENERGYSTAR-qualied lighting for energy-efcient options. Adding additional windows,or increasing the size of existing window openings can also increase the amountof natural light in a home.

Replacing heavy curtains and drapes with more sheer options will also allowprivacy, without sacricing natural light.Cut the dust

Pella Designer Series windows and doors offer convenient, custom made,between-the-glass options like blinds and shades. Between-the-glass windowfashions dont collect dust like traditional room side window treatments, making

them a low-maintenance, easy-to-care-for option. Plus, since theyre betweenglass, theyre a perfect t and a safer option for homes with children or pets,since there are no room-side cords.

Replacing old, hard-to-open windows with new windows and screens makesit easier to open windows to enjoy fresh air. Pella offers easy-to-operate win-dows in energy-efcient vinyl, wood or berglass options in colors, sizes andstyles to suit your remodeling and replacement needs.

Top DIY Home Winterization Projects(BPT) - As the months pass and the end of the

calendar year approaches, its time to update yourdo-it-yourself list. Several home winterization proj-ects will help keep your home in good repair comespring.

While some projects should be left for the experts- like cleaning out the chimney - there are severalmost homeowners can accomplish themselves.These projects are easy to tackle, and the end resultwill make a huge difference to your home all winterlong and into the spring months.

* Flushing gutters - Leaves and small treebranches often fall onto the roof of your home dur-ing the summer months, and then wash into the gut-

ters when it rains. Sometimes theyll ush out, butother times this debris can build up, and preventthe water from draining down the gutter pipe. Inwinter, this water can back up and freeze, caus-ing an ice dam, which can then damage the roofshingles, and cause leaks into the home and garagewhen it rains. Be sure to ush the gutters clean, andif youve noticed icicles in certain areas in the past,consider installing a heating cable to help keep thewater melted and moving down the gutter and intothe yard.

* Sealing concrete cracks - When water gets intocracks in your sidewalk or driveway and freezes,it can expand, creating a much larger crack comespring. Over time, large cracks will eventuallyturn into damaged concrete, requiring completereplacement. Tiny cracks that appear shortly afterthe concrete is poured are not a prob lem, but thosethat appear over time and continue to grow are

good candidates for repair. There are a variety ofpatching materials from Sakrete that can be usedto repair cracks.-Small narrow cracks can be lledwith latex, polyurethane or other products typicallyfound in caulk type tubes or plastic squeeze bottles.They have the advantage of not requiring mixingand being applied directly into the crack.-SakreteTop n Bond is a much more versatile product thatcan be used to repair any cracks ranging anywherefrom extremely ne to several inches across. Inaddition, Top n Bond is a portland cement-basedproduct just like the concrete slab.-This allows fora better blending of the both the existing slab andthe repair material. Should the need or desire tocompletely resurface the slab arise in the future,the Top n Bond will easily bond to the surface for alike new surface.

* Repairing potholes - Any missed cracks in pastyears with asphalt driveways probably have become

potholes by now thanks to the freezing and thawingof water during the winter month. But you dontneed to replace the entire driveway to take care ofthese problems. Sakrete U.S. Cold Patch is a strongpatch product made from 95 percent recycled ma-terials with no odor or mess. Just sweep the area inand around your pothole, pour in the patching mix-ture, and roll over the area with a car tire, allowingyou to use the driveway immediately. Make certainthe entire hole is completely lled and tampeddown to prevent water from seeping into the patch.Because U.S. Cold Patch doesnt contain solventsand raw asphalt, there is no danger of tracking thematerial into the house or garage.

* Extra insulation against heat loss - Coldertemperatures affect pipes, doorways and windows.Protect pipes from freezing by wrapping any pipesexposed to the cold with pipe insulation. Alsocheck your doors and windows for leaks or gaps.Find gaps by lighting a candle and holding theame near the closed window and door seams. Ifthe ame ickers, air is moving through the seamwhere there is a gap. Fill those gaps with caulk orweather stripping to form a better barrier against thecold.

These home DIY projects dont take a lot of timeto accomplish, and will benet your home andproperty during the winter months and as spring ar-rives. Be sure to put them on your home winteriza-tion to-do list each fall, so you can enjoy the winterin comfort.

Autumn Edibles:Tips for Fall Gardening and Second Plantings

(BPT) - People choose to garden for many reasons: Food is fresher and tastesbetter. Its a healthy hobby that exercises the body. It saves money. Numerousreports show an increasing number of homeowners are growing their own fruits,vegetables and herbs.

As temperatures cool,-you may think gardening season is over. The good newsis with a few strategic tips, you can keep your green thumb going and enjoy aplethora of autumn edibles for months to come. -Step 1: Select second plantings

Second plantings are the plants you use for the latter part of the gardeningseason. Late summer is typically the best time to plant these varieties. Call yourlocal extension ofces or access information online to nd regionalized plantingschedules and recommended plant varieties.

The length of the fall season and when the rst frost will likely hit are impor-tant considerations when selecting second plantings. Keep in mind that fast-maturing vegetables are ideal for fall gardening and they should be planted earlyenough to reach maturity before the rst frost arrives.

Popular second plantings that yield a delicious late fall/early winterharvest include broccoli, lettuce, turnips, collards, carrots, peas, rad-ish, spinach, leeks and beets. Some people even claim root vegetablesand cole crops like kale and turnips taste better after the rst frost.Step 2: Prepare your garden space

If you plan to use your current garden space for second plantings,remove the early-season plants that are done producing. Add those

plants to your current compost bin or create a new compost pile witheasy-to-use, stylish options from Outdoor Essentials. Wood-slate binsblend well with the outdoor aesthetic and the design allows oxygen tocirculate and facilitate the composting process.

Next, prepare your garden space. Elevated garden beds are grow-ing in popularity because they look great anywhere in your yard oron your patio, and are easy to move if necessary.

Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down?

Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down?Thumbs down to the Lancaster PTA and

the horrible fundraiser they are having our kids

participate in. There is absolutely nothing in thatover priced catalog that I would buy or ask familyor friends to buy. There must be a better way!

Thumbs down to fraud. Congress has nojurisdiction outside federally owned property,which is very small. Thats called proprietarypower. If you dont own something, you cannotcontrol it. Forts, stockyards, military installations,Puerto Rico, Guam, DC, and some parks. And

they have jurisdiction over United States Citizens(those who ask to enter this country and, 13thAmendment freed slaves). Otherwise they haveno jurisdiction. But our police dont read law andattorneys and government employees are in onthe scam. Time to wake up. All men are createdequal.

Thumbs up to the upcoming SalemFest. I cantwait. It must be right around the corner, althoughI havent seen any signs out yet.

Thumbs down to our selectmen. Notice! Wedidnt elect you to be our prison guards. Weelected you to administer town property on aday to day basis so we dont have to. Not to

administer our property. You have no jurisdictionover our property. So please stop all this nonsenseabout required water meters and gure out your

job description. You are to administer townproperty. Period!

Thumbs down to being arrested for lack of acommercia l drivers license. See United States v.

Dial, 757 F.2d 163, 168 (7th Cir1985) includes thedeliberate concealment of material information ina setting of duciary obligation. A public ofcialis a duciary toward the public and if hedeliberately conceals material information fromthem, he is guilty of fraud. McNally v UnitedStates 483 U.S. 350 (1987). Youre only drivingif involved in commercial activity. Our police arebeing lied to.

Thumbs down to forced water meters. Whathappens if I dont agree that 51% of the people

can vote to allow a government to take away myliberties? What happens if I no longer consent tobeing a part of that group-think model? What if

I say no? Can a people really be free if any oneof them is forced to obey a law simply because

the majority of people around them ignorantlyacquiesce to granting government the authority toenforce that law? Is that a free country?

Thumbs down to the School Board and all theplanners. All of a sudden Salem High School isneed of all these expensive repairs. Maybe youshould have joined together with Windham andmade a regional school. The school board didntknow the high school needed these repairs three

and or four years ago. (Youshould all be red.) This townwill not happy until everyoneis paying a twenty thousand orbetter in tax bills. You get a raiseand you get raise and we needbridge here and there, it mustbe nice to work for the town.We are still recovering from thiseconomy, I am working for halfof what I use to get. Tax and

spend tax and spend.

Thumbs down to expensiveHigh School renovations.Contrary to what is stated bysome, a State of the Art high

school will not increase your property value.Your property value increases depending uponthe Rating of the high school, not its appearance.All that will increase is your property taxes! Likeputting a bow tie on a pig, its still a pig.

Thumbs up/thumbs down to theannouncement of price cuts to the food stampprogram. On the one hand it is a major shockto those people who utilize this program withinits guidelines. On the other hand, maybe thesereductions will deter those who misuse theirfood stamps to purchase things outside of theguidelines from abusing their funds any further.How many times have we heard and seen people

abuse food stamps at supermarkets and neverget penalized? My advice is not to blame thegovernment for these price reductions, but insteadblame the irresponsible participants that waste thefunds.

Thumbs down once again to the republicanparty shutting down the government. Obama

care isnt the best but itssomething, its better thannothing. It just I wantto vote democrat all themore, republicans lookfoolish once again, youbig babies not getting yourway. Boehner youre abone head.

Thumbs up and thankyou to everyone thatvisited the Food For The

Hungry Pantry display onSalemFest day at KelleyLibrary. It was a veryrewarding experience forall the volunteers from thepantry that were on duty.We were able to sharemuch information withmany people as to how

we help provide food for Salem NH families thatmay be in need at this time. For those that wereable to make a donation of food or money to ourmission we are truly grateful for your generosity.

Thumbs down to public education. How cana voting majority impose rules and laws to takeaway God given rights? They cant. What we voteon is how our town employees are to administertown property held in trust for us. Vote yes onwater meters? Great. Water meters must beinstalled on town controlled property. And when

that property is sold, the new owner takes control.A ctional entity called government did notgive you your rights. They are unalienable. They

cannot be given away. Can 51 men vote to molest49 women? Of course not. Get educated!

Thumbs down to the BOS for not allowingthe Farmers Market to have signs posted. Its notlike they leave the signs up all week and it looksterrible. They put them up and take them down.It isnt hurting anyone and the market is good forthe people. Please make it right and allow thesigns.

Thumbs down to the very abrupt gentlemanwho answered the phone on Thursday, September19th at 11 a.m. at the SalemPolice Department for notknowing that the new law goesinto effect January 1, 2014, forchild restraints. According tothe child passenger safety thatsat 877-783-0432, any childunder 7-years old or under 57inches will be required to usean approved booster seat. The

current law is under 6 and 55inches.

Thumbs down to SelectmanHargreaves. We all know youlike to grandstand and yourcomments regarding 20 people entering your shopto complain about the town I believe are false.Give us names and lets hear their statements rsthand because what you have to say is hearsay andIm sure even though the TM said hed address it,he forgot about it by the time he left the parkinglot. Youve meddled and interfered with everydepartment in town, now there are some realproblems due to cutbacks, morale is at an all timelow and you have no idea on how to resolve anyof them with your 8th grade education. Pleasedont ever run again.

Thumbs up to the Salem Rams 4th graders.They are having a great season. They are a great

group of boys who know how to play as a team.They are learning from a ne group of coacheswho have really done a great job.

Thumbs down to whoever found a whiteenvelope in Walgreens that had Sarahs GiftCards written on it, and decided to keep itinstead of turning it into the store. We know itwas either dropped in Walgreens or was left onthe counter. I hope you enjoy your shopping tripsto Target, Wal-Mart and Toys R Us while my 6year old daughter gets nothing. You knew thosecards were not yours, you should have done thehonest thing and told the store manager. You musthave worked fast as well, as weknew within minutes of leavingWalgreens that the envelopewas missing. You were probablybehind us in line and noticedthat we left it on the counter, ordropped it as we waited in the

checkout line. Shame on you.

Thumbs down to TeaParty: The budget crisis, givingcivil servants free days off asretroactive administrative leave,closing the parks to keep 50million Americans from gettingaccess to health care. Why doyou side with the rich man andinsist today that Lazarus in America be healed bythe dogs? Read Luke 16:19 think where you willend up, deeds and choices reveal beliefs.

Thumbs down. Why is Salem scratchingout pennies on the budged, and thinkingabout employee layoffs when the RockinghamCounty CAFR account is bulging at the seams!Are we getting our 40% highway fund forlocal municipalities? The Rockingham 2011CAFR report shows $1,121,222 (expressed in

thousands). Thats over 1 billion dollars met assetsfolks. You can nd it online. Page 45. Net assetsover one billion dollars. Let Hickey stutter his

way out of that one! Who is lying to who here?

Thumbs down to Salems BOS chairman. Doyou really need to throw more salt on our woundsby reminding us at every meeting that youve beenaround for 19 years? Its shameful that youvebeen around for 19 mins! This board is justdigging us into a deeper hole that will take yearsfor us to get out of.

Thumbs up/Thumbs down. At $75-plusMillion for renovation of Salem High School.Cant we build a brand new high school for less?

Why isnt the town looking at building a newpolice station? The current station is a safetyhazard to all who work or visit it.

Thumbs down. Digital electric meters,including but not limited to Smart Meters areunlawful surveillance devices (Federal Title 18,Wiretapping) calling for prison terms for thosewho install those devices without consent. Digitalelectric meters also violate the U.S. Constitution,4th amendment with non-consensual search ofprivate property, again crimes punishable withprison terms. Also digital meters unlawfully emitradiation of a type known and shown to causecancer. That radiation constitutes assault (18

U.S.C. 113: US Code Section 113) and publicendangerment, again criminal violations callingfor prison sentences and major nes. All of thoseviolations also provide for essentially unlimitedcivil claims.

Thumbs down to the woman that drives alight blue Honda CR-V on North Main Street justabout every weekday morning at 7:15-7:20 a.m.with her dog on her lap (bouncing around) whiledriving her child to school. Is this any better thantexting or chatting on a cell phone? How aboutsome common sense! Get a clue!

ordinance allows for the board to grant special permission to anorganization when there is a public benet. This is a benet to theTown of Salem, he said.

Selectman James Keller said the constitution states, if the boardallowed one sign to be erected, they could not stop other signs.

Keller, a planning board member and chairman for many years, saidhe was well educated in the area. If we allow placement of signs intown property, they we have to allow signs there as well, he said.

Chairman Everett McBride told Lang she could post signs on privateresidential property with the owners consent.

The board voted 4-1 against Hargreaves proposal.Selectmen Cap Senior Center Enrollment - Non-Residents Limited to 400

As the popularity of the Ingram Senior Center increases programsll quickly and the building runs out of space and parking. Thesechallenges forced selectmen to limit out of town enrollment Monday,October 7.

Currently about 20 percent of senior center enrollment comes fromout of town members, 381 as of Monday. Director of Senior ServicesPatti Drelick asked selectmen to cap out-of-town enrollments at 400,limiting the center from exciding capacity.

This cap at 400 will accommodate all of those who are with usnow, she said. Once full, applying non-residen ts will be placed on awaiting list.

But the cap doesnt affect Salem residents. Drelick said the centerwould continue accepting new resident members indenitely.

Selectman Patrick Hargreaves raised concerns over a long-timeSalem resident moving out of town and being forced to give up theirmembership.

Selectman Stephen Campbell echoed Hargreaves concerns. Heproposed allowing former residents of ve or more years to receivepriority on the wait list. Their taxes went to help pay for thebuilding, he said.

The board decided to split non-residents into two groups, pastSalem residents and non-resident s. They cited a resident may move toanother town to live with family members.

The board voted unanimously to place the limit on non-residentsand sub-divide the group.

Drelick said the limit will help prevent programs from lling andnot allowing members to participate.

Locals interested in joining the center must be 60 or older.

Farmers Market- continued from front page Manager-continued from front

Center. They are well known for school construction and doing verywell with school construction, he said. They do quality work.

Board member Michael Carney motioned to enter a contractwith Harvey Construction for the renovation process. The boardunanimously approved the motion.

Delahanty said a representative from Harvey will attend committeemeetings and partner with the group to best plan the renovation.
