by Jay HobsonSalem Family Resources Success By Six honored Superintendent

of Schools Michael Delahanty at a breakfast fundraiser last Thursday.

More than 70 community leaders turned out for this year’s Friends of Salem Family Resources Breakfast Fundraiser to support the organization and honor its 2015 Children’s Champion, Michael Delahanty.

According to SFR Executive Director Cindy Jury, the event is an opportunity for supporters to learn more about the organization, which offers programming to strengthen families with young children in the greater Salem area.

“Delahanty was recognized for his signifi cant work toward improving the lives of children in greater Salem in the areas of early learning, family wellness and early development,” Jury said.

Board President Kortney Yasenka presented the award, noting Delahanty’s work for children extends beyond his role as school superintendent. Addressing the audience, Delahanty stressed the importance of early education and informed parenting in overcoming obstacles, including poverty.

Yasenka said that in addition to having held the positions of North Salem elementary school principal, Woodbury middle school principal, Salem High School principal, assistant superintendent of schools and now superintendent of schools, Delahanty also served on the SFR Board of Directors.

“He provides the board with valuable insights to children and education. One of the most notable achievements is his commitment to better the lives of district students,” Yasenka said.

She said that Delahanty takes time out of his busy schedule to support and work with local charities and programs to help provide housing for homeless families.

Delahanty said that there are two outstanding social issues that must be addressed.

“One is poverty and the other is ignorance,” Delahanty said.Delahanty told the story of Mollie Orshansky who grew up poor

and eventually was assigned by the Social Security Administration

by S. Aaron ShamshoyanAn over two-year-long

battle will see some progress after selectmen voted Monday night to fund the disposal of about 5,000 railroad ties stacked along Route 28.

The ties were originally removed from the railroad bed, running parallel throughout the duration of Broadway in town, to create a pedestrian and bicycle corridor deemed the “rail trail.” A contract signed by the board with Iron Horse Preservation Society allowed the company to reclaim the metal tracks in exchange for the removal and disposal of railroad ties, along with the resurfacing of the path.

While the trail was resurfaced, the ties have been sitting along the roadway, and repeated attempts to contact Iron Horse have gone unanswered.

Town Manager Keith Hickey told the board it would cost about $74,000 to remove and dispose of the ties, which included $65,000 for disposal and $9,000 for transportation.

Assistant Town Manager Leon Goodwin said the original plan was supposed to resurface 2.8 miles to trail, which was completed, however the ties weren’t removed.

“Iron Horse would remove all the materials from the trail, create a usable walking and biking trail, with a regrind surface or a stone dust surface,” Goodwin said. “They would then sell the recyclable material to pay for this work.”

But Goodwin said the entire contract was not completed, sticking the town with the disposal bill for the ties.

“The board and the town have the contract,” said Chairman James Keller. “It was our oversight,” he added, since the board signed the contract and it was up to selectmen to resolve the problem. “The board needs to deal with the matter as we see fi t.”

Funding for the ties’ disposal and removal would come from impact fees converted to a capital projects fund through a grant. Goodwin said the state recognized the rail trail as a viable use of impact fees since it was used for transportation.

“We call them rail trails, but they’re an alternative of transportation,” he said. “The state recognized bike and transportation paths as alternative transportation corridors.”

Goodwin said there is currently about $94,000 in the capital projects account the funds would be deducted from, but added the town had fi led paperwork with the court and was confi dent there would be a ruling in favor of seeking a reimbursement of the $74,000 from Iron Horse.

“This is, in my eyes, a temporary advocate for this,” Goodwin said. “This does not absolve Iron Horse in any way.”

But the dispute with Iron Horse caused greater tensions then a Route 28 eyesore, as two selectmen agreed they wouldn’t support the Friends of Salem Bike/Ped corridor committee when seeking future board approvals.

“Anything new with the rail trail from this point on will not have my vote. Period,” said Selectman Pat Hargreaves.

“My trust is gone. I don’t vote to support this or any project they’re involved in,” said Selectman Stephen Campbell.

“The board voted 3-2 to expend the funds for the removal of the railroad ties, with Campbell and Hargreaves in opposition. A local company will transport the 5,000 ties to LL&S of Salem for disposal.

Two Selectmen will Oppose Bike/Ped in the Future

Nearly 5,000 used railroad ties sit along Rt. 28 in Salem after being removed by the Iron Horse Preservation Society.

submitted by Salem High SchoolFor its exemplary record of leadership, service,

and activities that serve to improve the school and community, Salem High School’s student council has been awarded a 2015 National Gold Council of Excellence Award by the National Association of Student Councils.

“Receiving an NASC National Gold Council of

Excellence Award refl ects the highest dedication on the part of the school to providing a strong, well-rounded student council program,” said Ann Postlewaite, National Association of Secondary School Principals student programs director. “NASC applauds the work of the National Gold Councils of Excellence and challenges them to continue their leadership and service to their

schools and communities.”To meet the requirements for the NASC

National Council of Excellence Award, a student council must meet a variety of criteria. In addition to basic requirements such as a written constitution, regular meetings, a democratic election process, and membership in NASC, councils demonstrate things such as leadership

training for council members, teacher/staff appreciation activities, student recognition programs, school and community service projects, spirit activities, goal setting, fi nancial planning, and active participation in state and national student council associations. Those councils awarded the gold level have successfully demonstrated the highest levels of leadership.

Firefi ghters Respond Twice to Haigh Avenue House Fire

Staff photos by Bob Gibbs

by Bob Gibbs Salem Firefi ghters responded twice to a working fi re at 52 Haigh

Avenue on Wednesday morning, May 13.The fi rst call was reported by a neighbor at 12:07 a.m. with

the fi rst fi re units arriving at 12:13 a.m. A working fi re alarm was sounded at 12:24 a.m. According to Fire Marshal Jeffrey Emanuelson, “the fi re companies made an aggressive interior attack on the fi re,” while also searching the home for any occupants.

The fi re was under control at 12:30 a.m. The cause of the fi re is under investigation by the Salem fi re marshal and the Salem Police.

There was only one resident in the home at the time. The man was transported to Holy Family Hospital with smoke inhalation. No fi re personnel were injured.

Salem Fire responded back to the same address at 6:54 a.m. for a structure fi re. At this time, the fi re was showing from the roof and soffi t area. The fi re was knocked down and under control by 7:02 a.m.

The origin of the second fi re was a concealed space in which some embers from the fi rst fi re reignited. The second fi re has been deemed not suspicious at press time.

Total damage is estimated at $50,000.

Celebrating Our Many Partners in Healthcare It seems the month of May is a time for honoring our partners in health care with week-long celebrations for workers at hospitals, nursing homes and for nurses. This is a great time for all of us to salute the many people who share in the wellbeing of our mutual patients – physicians, nurses, therapists, food service workers, volunteers, administrators and others. They make miracles happen, both large and small, and support the health of their communities through dedication and compassionate care. During National Nurses Week I’d like to especially recognize the outstanding nurses at our agencies. Like nurses everywhere they have a passion for their work, constantly striving, learning and caring.

For 120 years we’ve been proud to work closely with the many exceptional health care workers throughout this region. By working together, we’re able to deliver care that is seamless and can guide and support patients and their families along the twists and turns of their healthcare journey.

Senate Bill 136 is a ‘Solid’ Step ForwardSenate Bill 136 recently passed in the NH senate. Th e house will be

voting on it on or about May 20. Th is bill establishes a committee to review constitutional amendments pending in the national Congress regarding Supreme Court decisions such as Citizens United which collectively allow unlimited campaign donations by individuals, special interests, unions, and corporations. Th e reason given by the Court is that money buys advertising and thus represents freedom of speech. Th is is a very cynical interpretation of the Constitution as money by large donors only buys infl uence. Donations by billionaires, special interests, unions, and corporations drown out any and all political freedom of speech the rest of us have. If you want proof, in the 2012 NH gubernatorial race, outside groups spent 5 times as much as the candidates did, and in the recent mid-term elections, outsiders spent more than 50 million dollars on the congressional races in NH.

Th e only way around it is through a Constitutional amendment mandating limits to contributions and which also states that special interests, unions, and corporations do not have the same rights as people. Once two-thirds of the states have passed resolutions calling for a Constitutional convention, such a convention will be held to hammer out the wording of the amendment, and then it would be put out for ratifi cation by 75% of the states. Once that is done, we get our democracy back. Sixteen state legislatures have already called for the convention. Th is is putting pressure on the national Congress to pass the amendment rather than be shamed by the states doing their job as allowed by the Constitution. Sixty-eight towns in NH, including Salem, have passed warrant articles calling on the NH legislature to pass a resolution supporting this amendment.

SB 136 doesn’t go that far, but it is a solid step in the right direction. Since the house will be voting on it in the next few days, it is in our interest to contact our Salem representatives and encourage them to support SB 136. Th is is something we can all do to eventually get our freedom of speech and our democracy back.

SARL O� ers Rabies and Microchip ClinicTh is Saturday, May 16, the Salem Animal Rescue League we will be

hosting a rabies and microchip clinic at its shelter from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Th e clinic is open to all volunteers and the general public.

Prices are $12 for a one-year rabies vaccine, $15 for a three-year vaccine. Proof of prior vaccination in the form of a signed rabies certifi cate must be provided to obtain a three-year vaccine. Vaccination is required by law in New Hampshire for dogs and cats 3 months of age and older, even if they stay indoors.

Microchips are $20, which includes registration. You may think that your pet is protected from getting lost. But accidents happen. In fact, one in three pets will become lost during their lifetime. However, with a microchip, when a lost pet is found, any animal hospital, shelter, or humane society can use a special handheld microchip scanner to read the microchip’s unique ID number. Th e veterinarian or shelter then contacts the microchip database. Th e database matches the number to a name and phone number, reuniting the lost pet with its owner.

No other vaccines or services will be provided at this clinic. All dogs must be on leashes and cats must be in carriers.

We hope this will be a good opportunity for the community to prevent their pets from getting lost and keeping their immunizations up-to-date to protect them and their family from rabies.

� e TPP is a Must to AvoidTh e proposed Trans-Pacifi c Partnership (TPP), the

massive trade deal trumpeted by President Barack Obama in his 2015 State of the Union address, and currently receiving much media scrutiny after fi ve years of widespread inattention, is a true political “fox in the henhouse” that has many business-savvy progressives understandably worried. At question is the fact that the text of the litigation is currently unavailable for Congress, the media and the public to read and make their own determinations, but has been seen by 600 corporate advisors looking out for their own interests. Investigating the mostly industry-friendly but worker-negative aspects of the deal, there is much in its details to be as up-in-arms about as US Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders are.

Th e TPP, if enacted, will consist of 12 member nations including Canada, Vietnam, Chile, Brunei, and Mexico, becoming the largest free trade agreement in the world. Obama’s raison d’etre for implementation is the seemingly-appreciable desire to counterbalance the ongoing Asian trade dominance currently enjoyed by China and India.

Here’s the problem: the main admittedly-positive result of the accord comes with large caveats severely negating its benefi cial eff ects. Anticipated surges in exports and new manufacturing wouldn’t result in a similar wage uptick for lower-income workers. It’s estimated that most increased profi ts would go to the wealthy thanks to new patent and copyright protection laws, mostly refl ected in prescription drug costs which will increase exponentially due to the TPP’s granted ability to slow cheaper generics from reaching the market, an especially-undesirable facet considering the graying of the world’s population.

Big Pharma is understandably salivating over this prospective windfall, as well as over another TPP rule that would actually prevent a nation’s

From the family of High Sheriff Michael Downing

Over the past couple of weeks many of you have sent cards and prayers

to Delbert and Teresa, his parents, and his eight brothers and sisters.

Thank you sincerely for your kind words and wonderful stories about your

long-standing or even brief friendships with Michael.

To the Salem and Windham fi remen who draped the fl ag over Route

111, that show of respect and thoughtfulness touched us deeply, we will

never forget your kind demonstration.

To the deputies, police offi cers, and troopers who gave of their time at

his wake and funeral, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

To the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Boston,

Massachusetts, and the Knights of Columbus of Salem you knew him

as a brother; we hope his memory will always guide you in your endeavors.

To all who served with him in the State Legislature or on the charitable

boards he chaired, remember the times you shared with Michael, and his

thoughtful guidance.

To his closest friends, you will always be considered part of his family,

stay in touch; we have many stories to share of your times with Michael.

Michael loved his family, friends, and work. We hope he will be

remembered as a good public servant, steadfast and true to his values.

We thank you all,

own government from setting ceilings on prescription costs. But another corporate Godzilla that would benefi t is Big Tobacco, both here and in the other 11 member countries.

Remember the Bill Clinton era, when the fi rst president to take on the Marlboro Man and Joe Camel (lung cancer’s Mickey Mouse) passed legislation eliminating these “cultural icons” from television and billboards? Th is resulted in the welcome ongoing drop in America’s smoking population and the resulting health problems. Th e TPP would allow Philip Morris, Lorillard and other tobacco fi rms to sue member governments in cases involving product packaging and advertising, dissolving the very laws that we’ve used for two decades to drive down our smoking numbers. Th is is obviously totally undesirable, especially considering the nearly $300 billion incurred annually worldwide in direct medical costs due to smoking.

Another horrible by-product of TPP’s enactment would be allowing companies to sue foreign governments if their environmental quality laws threaten business profi ts. We can thank WikiLeaks for uncovering the TPP Environmental chapter detailing this folly. One merely has to look at the history of air climate legislation fought for decades by American coal factories, as well as all the Superfund cleanups necessitated by illegal corporate waste dumping, to see the future public health nightmare that would result from the unfettered ability of profi t-hungry industries to prevent a nation’s own government from stopping their predations on our planet’s lands, water and air.

Th e Partnership vote is getting a mostly two-thumbs-up reception by congressional Republicans, along with a smattering of Democrats. Voting is expected in mid-May to allow the Executive Branch to fi nalize negotiations on a deal that they haven’t yet been allowed to see. Th is ugly trade agreement allows the massive dismantling of corporate guidelines and restraints and lowers the living standards of most workers in its resident nations. And the lack of transparency of its development since 2010, culminating in the now-imminent vote that could negatively impact the human element for years to come, makes it a true Trojan Horse that shouldn’t be sanctioned.

Finding Ways to Get AroundEaster Seals’ Shuttle Service is a Blessing to me and many others. About

two months ago, I gave up driving and I have had to learn new ways of “getting around.” Th e shuttle is a great bus to have a social time. Th e fi rst time that I rode it, all the other riders made me feel welcome. Everyone who rides is so helpful. I think that the route starts at Walmart. It covers Millville Arms, Glenridge, Kohl’s, Christmas Tree Shop, Home Depot, the new Market Basket, the old Market Basket, Senior Center and other sites. Th e trip takes an hour and it is free! I have been able to do my grocery shopping, stop at Walgreens, run down to K-mart and, all in an hour. Of course if I had missed the bus, another would be by in an hour. Th e driver (Grant) is a careful driver and so helpful and a great attitude!

Another service that I have found again - Easter Seals - a curb-to-curb service. You call ahead 434-3569) a couple days or a week seems OK) and I go to my Chiropractor. I ask them to pick me up in an hour and they are there! Sometimes it might be a short wait, not like you jump in your car, but you get back and forth to your destination! Th ree dollars each way. If you are low income, and you apply then it’s a half rate. Th ese two services are not exclusive to seniors. It is a new experience and a fun one! Especially the other riders. A wonderful group of people (kindness and generosity abound). Without it, most of us would be home bound. Caregivers (another wonderful service) would not be able to keep up with the demand. Yes, it truly is a new experience and has lessened the no driving experience!

Salem High Student Designs his Way to

American Institute of Architects Award

submitted by AIA New HampshireThe New Hampshire Chapter of the American Institute of

Architects has announced the results of its 2015 High School Design Competition. Awards were distributed at the AIA New Hampshire/Keene State College Architecture Department Annual Meeting held at Keene State College, April 30.

Salem High School’s Patrick Chan received a cash award for best design, and overall superiority in all aspects of design solution, model, and graphic presentation.

The AIANH Design Competition is a program that requires students to work on a theoretical project under the guidance of their teachers. AIANH volunteers visit the schools when possible to explain the project and give critiques before the submissions are due. The program involves a design solution, a three-dimensional model, and a graphic plan of the project.

AIANH created the program for high school students to increase awareness of the relationships between space, human scale and function; gain experience in recognizing the various challenges in planning and designing indoor and outdoor spaces for specifi c uses; exercise analytical abilities and creativity in solving the problems; and gain experience in communicating planning and design ideas using scale drawings and models.

The competition gives students a fun opportunity to develop these skills and to learn about the various aspects of planning and design. This year’s project was for a Welcome Center at Monadnock State Park. Students could work individually or in teams of two.

by Bob GibbsA multiple-alarm fi re on May 1 brought units from Pelham, Derry,

Windham, and Salem to the controversial Park Avenue auto salvage business.

Shortly before 1 p.m., the Salem Fire Department received a call of a fi re with heavy smoke at the 55 Park Ave. used auto parts yard. Firefi ghters were hampered by explosions from the pressurized containers of acetylene and propane that were stored in the building. The contents of the building forced the fi refi ghters to fi ght the fi re from outside the building.

At the start of the fi re, four employees were in the building. One of the employees was treated at the scene for burns to his arm. The employee refused further hospital treatment.

The business has been a source of much discontent with the neighbors, who have complained to the town. The town selectmen had previously withdrawn the business license to operate. The owner of the business had taken the town’s decision fi rst to the Superior Court and then to the NH Supreme Court. Both courts backed the town in its attempts to close the auto parts business.

Owner Anthony Licciard most recently at the April 27 selectmen’s meeting had requested an additional 30 days to clean up the site. After much debate over the wording of the action and the procedures that the business would follow to remove the autos and part, the selectman agreed to give the business 25 business days to clear the site.

Salem Fire Marshal Jeff Emanuelson stated that the cause of the fi re ‘was under investigation.’ The fi re marshal also stated ‘that they were not looking at it being an intentional fi re; all things are pointing to this being an accident.’

Homes in the neighborhood lost power during the fi re and many of the neighbors watched the fi re action from their driveways and front yards. With so much thick toxic smoke in the air, many of the people outside could be seen with clothes and handkerchiefs over their mouths and noses.

Mike Petrilli, whose backyard is against the auto yard, stated that he was concerned with the runoff from the fi re getting into the wetlands behind the salvage yard.

Air quality was being monitored by the Salem Fire Department. Along with SFD testing, the NH Department of Environmental Services and the Southeastern New Hampshire Hazmat District were on the scene, surveying the site.

According to the fi re marshal, the building and its contents are a total loss. He estimated the losses to be several hundred thousand dollars.

Salem Fire Marshal Jeff Emanuelson speaks to the press.

Rocco’s Auto Parts Burnsto the Ground

submitted by Worcester Polytechnic InstituteThe Fulbright U.S. Student Program offers

fellowships for graduating college seniors, graduate students, young professionals, and artists. Hajar Jafferji will represent the United States as a cultural ambassador while overseas, helping enhance mutual understanding between Americans and the people of Morocco. She will join over 100,000 Fulbright U.S. Student Program alumni who have received grants since the program began in 1948.

“I am honored to receive the Fulbright award,” Jafferji said. “I hope to learn more about Moroccan culture and to bring back lessons learned to enhance my future education and professional experience by continuing to establish, expand, and explore these vital international connections.”

A resident of Salem, Jafferji designed her Fulbright project to focus on the historic city of Fès. Once a booming urban area, Fès is known for its architecture and the beauty of its palaces, mosques, and monuments. Classifi ed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1976, the city is now in need of critical restoration due to the deterioration of many of those structures.

While in Fès, Jafferji will work with Ader Fès, an organization aiding the city’s rehabilitation, and students at Al-Akhawayn University to investigate the traditional and modern building materials used in its defi cient structures. Drawing on her background in structural engineering and infrastructure materials, she will also identify socioeconomic factors that led to the adoption of one type of material over another and investigate both the engineering and socioeconomic reasons for the failure of these materials.

“I believe that by restoring Fès, the history of the city can be preserved,” Jafferji said “In particular, I look forward to working with the native artisans of Fès who continue to practice and safeguard their irreplaceable crafts.”

Jafferji is currently pursuing a PhD in civil and environmental engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, where she previously completed her bachelor’s of science (2011) and master’s of science degrees (2012) in the same fi eld. A member of the Tau Beta Pi and Chi Epsilon honor societies, she presented a paper in 2013 at the Design in Civil and Environmental Engineering Conference and was co-author on a paper presented at the International Conference on Cement Microscopy.

“Being a Fulbright scholar requires a variety of skills and talents,” says Aaron Sakulich, assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering, who is Jafferji’s adviser. “Students must have a solid technical background in order to carry out their research; must be self-motivated and self-reliant, as they will be thousands of miles from their home institutions; and must be socially aware, since they will be acting as cultural ambassadors of the United States. During the two years that I have been Hajar’s adviser, she has displayed all of these traits.”

Upon completion of her doctoral studies, Jafferji hopes to pursue a career in academia, where she will seek a teaching position that allows her to maintain international connections. Ideally, she hopes to work at an institution that - like WPI - includes a study-abroad or global projects program as an integral part of the curriculum. Jafferji also plans to continue to be involved in STEM outreach programs for women by encouraging minority students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.

The Fulbright Program is the fl agship international educational exchange program of the United States. Operating in more than 155 countries worldwide, it has provided approximately 318,000 participants with the opportunity to study, teach, or conduct research in other countries to exchange ideas.

Buon Appetito!

by Sonny TylusThe spring day brought out supporters donning

fashionable derby attire as Friends of ServiceLink hosted its fi rst annual Kentucky Derby Day Party on Saturday, May 2 in the Belmont Room at Rockingham Race Park in Salem. A live auction and silent raffl e added to the excitement as the crowd gathered to support Friends of ServiceLink and view the 141st running of the Kentucky Derby from Churchill Downs.

Electricity fi lled the air while guests in derby-style hats paraded past the judges hoping to win the contest for the most stylish or most spirited hats! The hat contest judges, Representative Mary Griffi n, Windham; County Commissioner Tom Tombarello, Sandown; and WCCM-AM 1110 “Sicilian Corner” radio show host, Mike Lomazzo, Windham,

carefully considered each hat to decide the winners.

The event would not have been possible without the support of generous community sponsors and friends. Win, place, and show sponsors were Tuscan Kitchen, Ford Flowers, Brookside Chapel and Funeral Home, Enterprise Bank, NH Healthy Families, Piscataqua Savings Bank, Home Instead Senior Care, Rockingham VNA & Hospice, and Hoefl e Phoenix Gormley

Roberts, P.A., Attorneys At Law. Rockingham Race Park generously provided the venue for the event.

Friends of ServiceLink is a nonprofi t organization that cooperates and plays an active role in funding and creating awareness to support the efforts of ServiceLink Resource Center of Rockingham County. SLRC works to empower all populations to access services, information and supports that address their unique needs for health, independence and dignity.

All proceeds from the Derby Day Party were donated to the Friends Helping Friends Fund, which helps adults age 60 and older, adults with disabilities, and family caregivers that cannot afford necessary one-time services to remain in the community. Friends of ServiceLink already looks forward to May 2016 and the 142nd running of the Kentucky Derby.

Hats off to the Friends of ServiceLink’s First Kentucky Derby Party

submitted by the NH Attorney General’s Offi ceAttorney General Joseph A. Foster and the

Public Utilities Commission’s Director of Consumer Affairs Amanda O. Noonan warn New Hampshire utility customers about a scam currently operating in the state. A number of consumers have complained of receiving calls from individuals pretending to be with the customer’s utility company. The caller tells the customer that he or she has a past due balance

on their utility account and then threatens the customer with disconnection of their utility service unless they pay that delinquent amount.

These calls are not coming from New Hampshire utility companies. Utility customers who are scheduled for disconnection due to nonpayment receive written notice a minimum of 14 days prior to any proposed disconnection date and the notice includes action they can take to maintain service.

Consumers receiving these types of calls

should not provide any type of fi nancial information to the caller, including credit card or bank account information, and should not make any payment. Calls should be reported to the Public Utilities Commission at 1-800-852-3793. Consumers can also call the Attorney General’s Consumer Hotline at 1-888-468-4454.

Charges Leveled at Man Upset about Paint Job

submitted by Salem Police DepartmentOn Saturday, May 9, at 10:52 p.m., Salem police offi cers

responded to an address on Haverhill Road for a reported burglary and assault. While offi cers were en route to the address they learned the suspect had fl ed on foot into the woods. Offi cer Robert Farah was fi rst on scene and learned a male suspect had entered the rear of the house through an unlocked kitchen door.

As the suspect entered the kitchen he was confronted by the victim. The suspect then began assaulting the male resident and a violent physical fi ght ensued in the kitchen. During the fi ght the suspect retrieved a knife, which he had brought to the scene, and slashed the victim causing a nearly 6-inch laceration on his abdomen. After the fi ght, the victim and suspect then walked out to the driveway where the suspect fl ed as offi cers approached. Salem Police K-9 Offi cer Dan Nelson was called to the scene to locate the suspect.

While waiting for the K-9 team to arrive, Offi cer Farah could hear loud stomping in the woods and observed the suspect. He ordered him out of the woods where the suspect complied and was taken into custody without incident. Offi cer Nelson later arrived and searched the woods where the suspect had been walking. He was able to retrieve a small sheath knife hanging from a branch.

The suspect was identifi ed as David R. Konze, 38, of Greenland, N.H.. He has been charged with burglary, fi rst degree assault, criminal threatening, and falsifying physical evidence. He refused the services of a bail commissioner and was held at the Rockingham County Jail pending arraignment on Monday, May 11, in the 10th Circuit Court District Division/Salem.

As a result of the investigation offi cers learned the suspect and victim knew each other and were arguing over a painting job the victim had been hired to complete.

“Thumbs up to breaking a Code or Statute. I used eight squares of toilet paper instead of seven. I didn’t replace the old round light bulb with a squiggly one. My toilet uses 1.8 gallons per flush instead of 1.6 gallons. I guarantee I break Codes every minute of every day. So what? I’m not a member of the Legal Society. I didn’t create those Codes. I don’t decipher those Codes. I could care less about those Codes. What Law says a man must be competent in those Codes? None.”

“Thumbs down to the House for not voting in the Casino Bill. Where are their priorities? They want to pass a Bill that would not require a license for concealed weapons. That say it’s the will of the people. What about the People that want a Casino? The gun Bill is more damaging to the State than a Casino and more dangerous to the people.”

“Thumbs up/Thumbs down. New Hampshire legislators passed a bill allowing unlicensed residents to carry a concealed weapon. This would turn the state of New Hampshire into the Wild West of old. Every person in the state would be at risk. The legislators do not have the right to endanger our lives. My only question is are the legislators of this state stupid or are we, the voters, stupid for putting them into office?”

“Thumbs up/Thumbs down. After Jimmy Keller’s Taj Mahal $23M safety complex got shot down, you would think he would listen to voters. No not him. Now he is pushing for an Innovation District. Basically the entire west side of Salem. We are talking about tunnels connecting building, elevated walkways, multi storied buildings in a UNH campus setting environment. Should we call this Keller’s Village or Keller’s Folly?”

“Thumbs up/Thumbs down. The biggest problem with Keller’s new policy of mandating total support for any and all of his ideas is that any and all of his ideas stink and cost too much money and have little to no merit. If he now expects me to self-report myself to the Salem’s HR Department because that, he is dreaming. What

would my punishment be anyways? Listening to him running around all of the committees in Salem is torture enough.”

“Thumbs down to Republicans. Tax cuts, borrowed money for wars everywhere while screaming about debt have ruined the US’ civil society. Baltimore, Ferguson and future race riots are the result of blind faith in the Laffer curve. Tax cuts starve programs to care for the less fortunate in America and New Hampshire. Republican candidates say the US was founded on Christian value, but the only values they support are condemning ‘sinners.’ Republican Christians long ago shunned humanity, Christ commanded we love. No sin of omission, the Great Society was sabotaged by Republicans.”

“Thumbs up. When a cop gives you legal advice on the side of the road (your ‘right to remain silent’) ask for his BAR card so you can rest assured that the legal advice he’s given you is correct. But if you don’t need a drivers license to go to the store, why is he stopping you in the first place? Those statutes apply to ‘drivers,’ not ‘travelers.’ I’m not on the clock when I go to the store.”

“Thumbs up/Thumbs down. We got 1) A high rise building proposed on one of the highest points in Town, sayonara to that Brookdale neighborhood. 2) A liquor store going into the stupidest place to put it, traffic will be unbearable. 3) A Gas Pipeline; can’t

wait for that. 4) Revocation of Free Speech by the new King of Salem, Jim Keller. 5) No Casino. 6) Big increases in our property taxes, wait till you see how much. 7) A free bike path that is not free, but we get to keep contaminated railroad ties that

never go away. 8) Burning salvage yard. Time for a big thumbs down to the whole lot of stumble bums that we elected. Big changes are needed

and needed fast and I will remember who I voted for and why I won’t again.”

“Thumbs up to the letter Carriers of Salem NH. Saturday May 9 was their target date for the Stamp Out Hunger program initiated by the United States Postal Service. The Letter Carriers not only collected many bags of food items donated by the generous families of Salem NH on this day but did this while they

delivered the mail at the same time. They did a wonderful job of transporting the donations to the food pantry safely and promptly. All these food items will replenish our half empty shelves and help us to feed the hungry during the summer months when donations are slow. Please accept a sincere thank you from the Pleasant Street United Methodist Church (Food For The Hungry) Pantry.”

“Thumbs up to the Salem Patriot newspaper. With the formerly-estimable Salem Observer closing down last year, this bi-weekly continues to do a great job of getting out many of our local news, human interest and sports stories. Along with a generous array of photographs augmenting the articles and advertising space for regional businesses, the Patriot also includes a robust letters page along with the ‘Thumbs’ column, two sections that cover topics ranging from the diverse political views of our neighbors, grateful ‘Thank Yous’ to deserving people who have helped or enriched the writer’s life in some way, and everything in between. Keep up the good work!”

“Thumbs down. Are the local/state politicians and business owners pushing for a casino for

their own benefit more than Salem or NH? Is it a coincidence the local business owners (those who would bid on contracts). You know who they are. Maybe getting a big profitable contract to provide services is their motivation. Where will they be in two years when the casino can’t support itself because there are three casinos just over the border? Keep the casino out of Salem and NH.”

“Thumbs up to Hillary Clinton for seeking the presidential nomination. In the next 18 months we the voters will learn about what the Clintons are truly all about. Very low in character and very high on corruption. As a conservative I am delighted.”

“Thumbs up/Thumbs down there is a lot of controversy on the casino but they are going downhill in all the other states and I don’t think it will make it here plus 80 percent of voters did not vote – 20 percent voted- that’s not many people, it’s just a few thousand.”

“Thumbs down. During the 5/11 meeting of the Selectmen under James Keller it was voted to use $70,000 of impact fees to cover the cost to remove those railroad ties. One problem with that is impact fees are forbidden to be used for that and should have been returned. When that backfires, who is Jim Keller going to blame for misusing these funds?”

Monarchs Take a Trip Back in Time … to 2010

Kinder Morgan Hears Concerns at Selectmen’s Meeting

by S. Aaron ShamshoyanA plan to double the size of an existing

natural gas pipeline running through town has residents concerned about the impact of the project.

“The line literally goes through my driveway. I will not be able to get into my driveway while they’re working on the line,” said Salem resident Steve Sirios. “I’m 20 feet from there, so if the easement gets larger they’re going to be in my home.”

At an April 29 meeting with selectmen, Kinder Morgan energy company said they are seeking to replace a 10-inch line running through parts of town with a 20-inch line to meeting the growing demand for energy in the region. About 40 homes would be affected in town in the area of Route 28, Lawrence Road, Theresa Avenue and Hunters Run.

The company currently has a 10-inch main installed in the 1950s and a 12-inch pipe installed later.

Mike Lennon of Kinder Morgan said the original proposal included adding a third pipe to the existing two in the company’s right of ways, but a new plan to replace one of the pipes means the company can stay within their easements.

“There will be cases where we need additional spaces outside the easement to be able to construct the pipeline,” Lennon said.

State Representative Robert Elliott (R-Salem) said his supporters are concerned about the project.

“My constituents are scared stiff about what’s going to happen to their properties,” Elliott said.

Conservation Commission member Tom

Campbell feared an impact on area wetlands.“I’m concerned about Worlds End Pond,”

said Campbell. “That’s a pretty unique habitat that I’d hate to see anything happen to.”

Some residents suggested deviating the new pipe through Massachusetts down Route 213 and the Methuen side of Worlds End Pond.

Project Manager Mark Hamarich said residents could submit ideas to Kinder Morgan and they would be considered, but said final approval would be granted from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

“You’ve got a direct route, you’ve got an existing right of way,” said Hamarich. “You can utilize most of that existing right-of-way for operations.”

Chairman James Keller said he was disappointed with the limited information available about the project and that more details were not available for residents impacted by the project.

Resident Diane Paquette questioned if the town would be prepared for a line explosion if one were to happen and asked if Kinder Morgan would compensate additional police and fire staff and department training for such emergencies.

Selectman Pat Hargreaves said the town belongs to Southern New Hampshire Hazmat, which was trained to deal with such problems.

If approved, the company plans to bring the new line into service for the 2018 winter heating season. Selectmen voted to send a letter to state and federal officials seeking Kinder Morgan look at the two other routes discussed to minimize or eliminate an impact in town.

submitted by Dan VentrescaThe Monarchs are returning to the Eastern

Conference Finals for the third time in the franchise’s history and the first time since 2010 after beating Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in the semifinals.

A lot has changed on the ice for the Monarchs since then. They have an entirely different coaching staff and the only player on the current team who played for them in 2010 is goalie J.F. Berube – who was the emergency third-string goalie and played the next year in junior hockey. Most of Manchester’s current roster wasn’t even playing professionally five years ago.

AHL MVP Brian O’Neill and fellow forward Sean Backman were still teammates at Yale University back then. Manchester’s leading scorer in these playoffs, Jordan Weal, was 17 years old and still a year away from debuting with the Monarchs. First-round draft pick Adrian Kempe was in the eighth grade!

Things have changed just as much off the ice. Although 2010 doesn’t seem like that long ago, take a look back at what was going on back then …

to do an in-house research project on Poverty as it Affects Children. At that time there was no generally accepted measure of poverty, so to do the project she developed her own poverty measure.“That measure is used to this day,” Delahanty said.

Salem resident Jen Trela, a NH Children’s Trust “Unsung Hero” who was nominated for that statewide award by Salem Family Resources, was

also recognized at this event. Trela described her journey as a parent and the help she received from Salem Family Resources to advocate for her child, and herself, an emotional story to which all in the room related.

“Trela was recognized, along with 27 other parents and caregivers, as going above and beyond to be the best parents they could possibly be,” Jury said.

Trela said that she was a person who avoided other people and that she didn’t want her son to be a person that avoided people so she brought him to the Success By Six program and helped him to interact with people.

“As a child I was always the one in the back of the room with my head down and hoping no one would notice me. Even as an adult I would stand in the back of the room. I didn’t want my son to be that way, so when I heard about Parenting and Play Groups, I thought I would try it out,” Trela said.

Trela said that the playgroup worked, and that her son is outgoing and makes friends.

Jury said that a new memorial fund dedicated to Michael G. Murray, Sr. was launched. The fund will provide fi nancial aid to families who qualify for assistance to participate in

programs such as Parenting and Play Group or TLC Preschool.

“The fundraising from this event will support programs for families with young children in Salem, Derry and surrounding communities,” Jury said, adding that, “community support helps ensure we can continue to provide evidence-

based programming such as Parenting and Play Groups and The Learning Cooperative preschool. It also allows us to educate the community about exciting new neuroscience that links the importance of early attachment to the development of healthy brain architecture.”

submitted by the Offi ce of Congresswoman Annie KusterCongresswoman Annie Kuster (NH-02) and Congressman Frank

Guinta (NH-01) hosted a mental health summit on May 11 to announce draft legislation the two representatives are planning to introduce jointly in order to improve mental health care across the country. The summit convened nearly 100 mental health advocates, experts, and professionals from across the Granite State to discuss the draft legislation and other initiatives to improve the mental health system in New Hampshire.

“I was so pleased to host this joint summit with Congressman Guinta in order to hear directly from local stakeholders in New Hampshire about how best to increase access to mental health care for those in need,” said Kuster. “It’s long past time to remove the stigma around mental health and ensure that high quality care is offered in the Granite State and beyond, and I’m proud to join with Congressman Guinta in drafting legislation to improve mental health services across the nation. Today’s summit gave us a chance to receive feedback on our legislation from those in the community who are working on these issues every day on the ground in New Hampshire, and we look forward to incorporating their thoughts in our bill as we prepare to introduce the legislation in the House.”

“Reforming our mental health system is a cause both near and dear to my heart. As the primary caretaker of a family member battling a mental illness, I know fi rsthand how our current system

is failing those with these illnesses and also where there are opportunities to strengthen our system. This is a common-sense and bipartisan issue; and I look forward to continuing to work with Rep. Kuster to fi x this urgent issue facing the Granite State,” said Guinta.

The draft legislation being discussed during the summit looks to address several aspects of mental health services and treatment, including the formation of a Mental Health Coordination Committee to establish a national strategy for the treatment of mental illness, the expansion of current demonstration projects for Federally Qualifi ed Community Health centers, and increased investment in research for the prevention and treatment of mental illness disorders. The representatives will use the feedback they heard at the summit to revise and improve their proposal before introducing the joint legislation at a later date.

Today’s summit gave advocates, providers, and state lawmakers a chance to discuss with Congresswoman Kuster and Congressman Guinta the challenges facing Granite Staters with mental illness, the current support system and treatment options, plans to improve services, and their thoughts on how Congress can better support the mental health community. Following welcoming remarks by Kuster and Guinta, three discussion panels on ‘Co-occurring Disorders,’ ‘Barriers to Care,’ and ‘Mental Health and the Justice System’ took place. Kuster and Guinta were joined at the summit by NH DHHS Commissioner Nick Toumpas, NH Superior Court Chief Justice

Tina Nadeau, and NAMI NH Executive Director Ken Norton, as well as representatives from the health care, law enforcement, mental health, substance abuse, and corrections communities.

School Baseball team is striving for consistency. The Blue Devils have found themselves in a pattern this year with strong stretches of wins followed by a stretch of struggles. Salem experienced the latter over the weekend.

On Friday, May 8, Salem hosted Merrimack High School. The Blue Devils could do little on either side of the diamond. The Tomahawks scored in every inning but the sixth, and managed to hold Salem to only one run, despite the home team’s seven hits.

Matt Vartanian took the loss on the mound for the Blue Devils, tossing two innings while allowing fi ve runs (three earned runs) on four hits with a walk and a strikeout. Dom Palermo fi nished the game, hurling the fi nal fi ve innings and surrendering seven runs (four earned runs) on 11 hits with no walks and six strikeouts.

Palermo fared better at the plate, leading Salem with two hits, a walk, and a run scored. Josh Perrault was responsible for the Blue Devils’ sole RBI of the contest, as Salem fell to Merrimack, 12-1.

The following day, on Saturday, May 9, the Blue Devils hosted

Belmont High School. Again, Salem could do little at the plate, managing only fi ve hits with no runs as Salem lost their second straight, 11-0.

Nick Shumski led Salem with a strong day at the plate, knocking in a pair of hits with a walk. Jake Dufton collected one hit with a walk. Dave Robertson and Jake Shepley each earned a hit in the game.

Matt Meisner started for Salem, pitching three innings and allowing eight hits and seven runs (only two earned runs) while walking four Belmont batters. In relief, Kristian Harris tossed a scoreless inning, allowing only a single hit. Perrault came to the mound in the fi nal inning, but was pulled before the end of the contest. Perrault struggled with his control, allowing four runs (three earned runs) on three hits with two walks. Vartanian fi nished the

game, letting up a hit before striking out the fi nal Belmont hitter. The Blue Devils were desperate to return to form as they traveled

to face Nashua South High School on Monday, May 11. With the losses, Salem is 7-6 on the season and still angling for a postseason spot.

by Jacob GagnonOn Monday evening,

May 11, the Salem High School boys’ Lacrosse squad held a lead over Bedford High School for approximately 30 seconds. The Bulldogs went on to score 16 unanswered points to defeat the Blue Devils, 17-2.

It was the kind of loss that has the potential to reawaken a struggling team. The Blue Devils, at 4-6 on the season, have not been able to string together more than a single win in a row. Although they have had trouble, Salem still remains alive in the playoff hunt. This defeat may motivate Salem to refi ne their play and refocus their intensity on the fi eld. Despite the story the scoreboard tells, the Blue Devils were able to hold their own against Bedford for a good chunk of the game. The discrepancy between the success of both teams was simple: the Bulldogs could fi nish a play, while Salem could not.

Salem struck fi rst. Just 49 seconds into the game, Andrew Phillips scored to put the home team on top. Bedford returned fi re and overtook the lead about three minutes into the game. It was a lead that would go unchallenged for the remainder of the contest. The Bulldogs led, 6-1, after the fi rst quarter, and 14-1 at the half.

In the second half, the Blue Devils’ defense game out strong. They played with a tenacity that was absent in the fi rst half. Mark Foglia, at midfi eld, laid out a Bulldog player with a ferocious, and clean, hit. The defense held the visiting squad to only a single goal in the third quarter, and just three goals in the entire second half. Salem’s offense attempted to follow suit, but could not manage to drive past Bedford’s relentless defenders.

Salem managed to score their second and fi nal goal of the game over two minutes into the fourth quarter. Tim

Craig collected the goal on an assist from Johnny Bartose. Salem’s O remained stagnant following the score as the Bulldogs coasted to the win. In goal, Evan Phair made seven saves for Salem.

If Salem’s defense could play the entire game with the intensity they showed in the second half against Bedford, and if their offense can fi nd their stride, the Blue Devils will become a force in Division I. With eight games remaining, Salem needs to begin that turnaround now.

by Jacob GagnonThe Salem High School boys’ Volleyball team is the one to beat

every season. While the state of boys’ volleyball in New Hampshire has drastically improved over the last decade, the perennial champion Blue Devils have managed to maintain their stranglehold over the entire division. Salem has begun another of their incredible runs, going 11-0 so far this season.

On Monday, May 4, Salem played Pinkerton Academy. The Astros, who have put up good battles in the past, fell quickly to the Blue Devils, 3-0 (25-11, 25-19, 25-16). Jacob Ditore recorded nine digs, while Reed Grubbs picked up 24 assists. Danny Nugent contributed with one block. Tim Dodier earned seven service points. Colton Burnham had four aces and nine kills in the contest. Matt Lavasseur fi nished with eight kills.

A couple of days later, on Wednesday, May 6, Salem traveled to face Coe-Brown High School. The Blue Devils throttled the home team, 3-0, to pick up their ninth straight win of the season (25-12, 25-15, 26-24). Just as they have been able to do all season long, a number of different Blue Devils contributed to the win. David Antos and Zach Demers scored fi ve kills apiece in the contest. Tyler Loeschner collected eight assists. Ditore, again, led in digs with ten while Lavasseur had three blocks in the game.

On Friday, May 8, Salem extended their perfect streak to 10-0 with another shutout victory, their eighth of the season. The Blue Devils defeated Mascenic High School, 3-0 (25-26, 25-18, 25-9). Dodier, Burnham, and Lavasseur scored 10 kills apiece in the game. Lavasseur also collected a pair of blocks. Grubbs led in assists with 34, while Ditore had 10 digs. Brandon Lacroix scored seven service points while Loeschner picked up two aces.

The Blue Devils faced their biggest challenge of the season on Monday, May 11, as they traveled to face Timberlane Regional High School. The Owls put a good fi ght, pushing Salem to the brink of defeat. Salem was able to overcome the challenge, however, and earn their 11th straight win, 3-2 (25-23, 25-19, 17-25, 18-25, 16-14).

Burnham had nine kills in the contest, while Danny Nugent and Pat Frydrck collected eight kills apiece. Lavasseur scored nine service points, including three aces, along with four blocks. Grubbs led with 38 assists and 12 digs. Ditore earned 20 digs in the game.

The Blue Devils will certainly face the challenge of the Owls again in the postseason. Salem has six matches left in their pursuit of regular season perfection.

SHS Softball Team Sweeps Home

by Bob GibbsThe Salem High Softball team

recently volunteered their time and efforts to do spring clean up at their home field. The members of the team and other volunteers put rakes to the ground to spruce up Bryan Field.

Team captains Mikayla Ramsdell, Katie Dawson, and Holly Peterson organized the effort of the group. This is the first year the team has been organized to do the clean up. The team hopes that this will be something future teams can make a tradition with SHS softball.
