by AJ DickinsonThe Salem High School annual winter concert took place

once again on Thursday, December 19. The nearly two hourperformance began, as it traditionally has in the past, withmany powerfully entertaining performances from such SalemHigh musical groups as the Jazz Ensemble, Honors Chorus,Vocal Quintet and the combined choruses to name a few.

At the beginning of the show it was announced that EllenBosch, beloved teacher and mentor, would be retiring at theend of this school year after teaching at the high school since1999. In the middle of the event to her and the audiencessurprise, chorus department aide and graduate of 2008,Hudson Wells took the stage. Hudson began to explain tothe audience, as Mrs. Bosch watched from the side of thestage, of his transformation from a curious home-schooled

boy to the man he became after walking through the musicroom doors at Salems public high school. He went on bysaying, In my four years of chorus, Mrs. Bosch was so muchmore than a teacher to all of us and impacted so many in apowerful way. The act of gratitude that was shown to Mrs.

Fireghters Relief Association at Senior Centersubmitted by Sonny Tylus

For 27 years, the Salem FirefightersRelief Association has been providinga holiday meal to the seniors. Retiredfirefighter Tom Tetreault has been doingthis for 25 years. He related how thishad started at the Masonic Temple with30 seniors being fed.

This year, some 30 Salem firefighters,family members and friends served salad,home cooked pasta, meatballs, bread anddessert. Nearly 300 people were served

in two settings. One senior commentedhow his doggie bag would provide himwith two days of meals. The volunteerscould be seen helping the seniors withtheir jackets, finding seats, serving thefood and cleaning up. Some of themstarted cooking and preparing the food at8 a.m. and would be there cleaning upuntil about 3 p.m.

This event wouldnt be as successful asit is if it werent for Patti Drelick, Directorof Salem Senior Services, the staff and thevolunteers of the Salem Senior Center.The Association paid for all the foodand supplies. In addition, the Salem

by S. Aaron ShamshoyanThe battle over temporary signs on the side of town roads

could soon come to a close with selectmen approving azoning board amendment clarifying their usage.

The amendment allows qualifying organizations to postsigns on private property two weeks before an event, withverbal permission from the property owner, up to three timesper year.

Per the amendment, qualifying events are: A special eventtaking place in the Town of Salem and occurring no morethan three times per calendar year.

Qualifying organizations are non-profits, organizationseligible to be registered as non-profits and charities. Theevent must be for the benefit of the organization.

The amendment also restricts the size of signs, number ofsigns on a persons property and states they must be removed48 hours after the event.

Relay for Life member Jon Tripp asked the board toconsider allowing additional directional signs to be postedon the day of an event. He said signs help welcome thepublic to the relay when the event is underway.

Chairman Everett McBride said under the amendment,those signs could be posted on private property.

Selectman James Keller, agreed with the proposal. Itsa starting point and I think we need some boundaries.He questioned what the right number of times to allow

organizations to post signs would be. When do you get to aplace where enough is enough? he asked.The amendment wouldnt limit organizations with

subgroups in town such as the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts.Assistant Town Manager Leon Goodwin clarified theamendment, saying each section of the organization wouldbe allowed three sign postings per year.

Selectman Michael Lyons feared the ruling would not beeffective. There is a policy (currently), we dont enforce it atall, he said.

Hickey said the position was eliminated by the board.The person whos supposed to be doing this was cut fromthe budget four years ago.

Hickey added a citizens petition was being brought fourthat the town meeting regarding signs, but that it was beingproposed as a selectmens amendment rather than a zoningamendment, and if approved, would only be advisory.

Debate over temporary signs was sparked last year whenthe board noticed farmers markets signs posted for extensiveamounts of time. They then told the organization signs couldnot be posted except for specified locations and on private

property on the day of the event.Salem Farmers Market Director Jane Lang said this

amendment wouldnt help her organization, which isstruggling to reach residents.

I feel that were being segregated from other non-profits,she said noting the market was registered with the state. Weare a registered non-profit.

Lang says the market needs to post signs on the dayof operation since the location can be hard to find. Thesummer market currently operates in Lake Street GardenCenter on Lake Street and she feels additional signs arenecessary. We take them right down, she said adding theyare only up a few hours a week.

The amendment does not allow signs to be posted in thepublic right-of-way or on town property.

The planning board will hold a public hearing onJanuary 21 to discuss the amendment and will seek publicinput.

Joe Faro has had a lifetime relationship with the Boys and Girls Club. As a youth,he spent many days at the local Boys and Girls Club.Today, many years later, he and his family have continued that relationship. The

difference today is that he has become a pinnacle leader within the Boys and GirlsClub Organization; offering his time, talents and philanthropy.

The Salem Boys and Girls Club honored Joe and his wife Samantha by awardingthem the first Jeremiah Milbank Society Award because of Joes personal andfinancial commitment to the Salem Boys and Girls Club.

The Jeremiah Milbank Society is an elite group of individuals dedicated tosupporting their local Boys & Girls Clubs, states the Jeremiah Milbank Society.

As reported in the December 20, 2013, edition of the Salem Community Patriot:Jeremiah Milbank (1887-1972) was a man of remarkable accomplishments asa businessman, financier, and philanthropist. Milbank led efforts to eradicatediphtheria and organized the International Committee for the Study of InfantileParalysis in 1928. Because of Milbanks active interest in a cure for polio, PresidentFranklin Roosevelt asked him to chair the organization that was the forerunner of theNational Foundation for Infantile Paralysis.

A lifelong believer in volunteerism, Jeremiah Milbank helped President HerbertHoover develop the Boys & Girls Club national organization that provides supportservices for clubs serving disadvantaged youth. He served as treasurer of the nationalorganization for more than 25 years.

Throughout his lifetime, Milbank gave a fortune to help those in need. Yet henever sought monuments or memorials. He believed that wealth not used to helpothers was wealth wasted. One instrument of that belief is The JM Foundation, whichcontinues the ideals of free enterprise and entrepreneurship that guided Milbanks

Salem Boys and Girls Club YouthCash in on Clubby Dollars

by Doug RobinsonThe line to enter into the Clubby Store at the Salem Boys and Girls Club stretched like a

black Friday early hour shopping deal. Little people lined up to collect and cash in on theiryears worth of earned Clubby Dollars. These Salem Boys and Girls Clubs youth have spenta year earning, saving, and learning how to spend responsibility commented Director ofDevelopment, Denise Dolloff.

Throughout the year, children of the Salem Boys and Girls Club were offered the opportunityto earn Clubbies or credits, which could be turned in to purchase items from the ClubbyStore. Bank accounts were established, deposit slips were created and the children trackedtheir progress with their earnings.

The children were recognized for helping out at the Boys and Girls Club, recognized forcompleting their homework, as well as doing other activities, continued Dolloff.

The Clubby Store was stocked with items from art to adventure, candies to crocodiles, anditems of interest for mom, dad and all members of the family.

Bernard H. Campbell Announces Bidfor Re-Election to School Board

It has been my pleasure to have served on the Salem School Board for

nearly 16 years. Over that time, I believe that my professional backgroundas a practicing attorney concentrating in municipal law and my experienceas a local business owner serving the Salem community has helped me makepositive contributions to the function of the school board and the operationof the Salem School District. Because I believe I can continue to help shapeeffective educational policy, which balances the needs of our students, andthe capacity of our community, I am seeking your vote to return me to theboard for another three-year term.

Clearly one of the most important initiatives which th e school board hasundertaken in the last six years has been the elementary school renovationprogram. I am grateful for the communitys support for that effort. Iadvocated for and supported the approach taken in March of 2013 whichwill bring needed safety and code enhancements to all our elementaryschools, while focusing facility expansions in a fashion which avoidscommitting funds to facilities we may not need in the future.

In the months ahead, the community is going to be engaged in a similardiscussion concerning the renovation of Salem High School. Te need forrenovations is, I believe, self-evident to all the community. Te type andscope of renovations should match the reasonable needs of 21st CenturyLearners (a key element of the recently adopted new District Strategic Plan)and the number of students which we can effectively project. In addition,any renovation plan should recognize the community needs which arefulfilled by Salem High School. Salem High School is, and should remain,the heart of the Salem community.

On a personal level, I have lived and worked in this community myentire life, graduating from Salem High in 1974, and commuting to BostonUniversity School of Law from 1977-1980. With my law office in thecommunity, I am in touch with local events. I have two children, bothof whom graduated from Salem High and both of whom have pursuedteaching as a profession. I make it a priority to attend activities in ourschools, whether it is broadcasting fall football, supporting performing arts,or attending awards programs at Salem High School. I am honored to be amember of the Salem-Woodbury Hall of Fame. For years I was active withthe local Dollars for Scholars and served as president in 1983-1984. Bothmy law office and my family business, Campbells Scottish Highlands, aremembers of the Greater Salem Chamber of Commerce and I am proud tohave been selected to receive the Bill Brown Business Person of the Yearaward from the Chamber in 2010. I hold (or have held) leadership positionsin the New Hampshire Bar Association, the NH ax Collectors Assn,and the United Methodist Church, both locally and in the New Englandarea. In addition to my service on the school board, I have served a deputy

moderator approximately 20 years.If I am re-elected to the school board, I pledge to continue the pursuitof educational opportunities for all Salem students. Tis means activeparticipation, critical thinking, and analysis, working cooperatively withthe other board members and being an advocate for children in the Salemschools.

I would appreciate your vote for school board on Election Day: March11, 2014.

Bernard H. Campbell, Salem

Standing for Something or Fall for AnythingMost people would agree that if you do not stand for something, you will

fall for anything. Te current thinking among those of the Liberal bent andphilosophy teaches we can do what we want as long as it feels right and goodregardless that it hurts people and society as a whole.

Tis trend among many is to foster a society which has no regard for theconsequences of huge government debt, support for welfare illegal aliens,disdain for the unborn, disregard for freedom of religion, even your right tostand your ground to protect your family. Liberally they support smoking,excessive drinking, unchecked welfare, and taxation without representation,which can all lead to morally corrupt expensive disasters for a civil society.

It seems that the present Obama administration just says, Just movealong there is nothing to see here. Yet, we know they continue to havescandal after scandal, FBI, IRS, Fast and Furious Gun smuggling, andObamaCare just to name a few. We Americans want honest government.Not a destructive nor lesser credible government like we have!

I believe if a person feels the need to engage in these activities under th eU.S. Constitutionand Bill of Rights! So be it! However, the laws need to beenforced and made stronger to protect the innocent people th at are beingharmed in the name of liberalism and a corrupt big government.

We see every day this liberal way of life slowly destroying America,by undermining the fabric of a sound society. Te current Paul Duckcontroversy is an example of people trying to stop one person fromexpressing his sincere views and beliefs. It shows that network A&E willbow to the political oppressors of the NAACP and homosexual groups.What needs to be said, would Martin Luther King have endorsed their socalled outrage? I believe not. He was for free speech! Unless we turn backto believe in One nation under God, with liberty and freedom of speechfor all, we as a nation will continue to be under attack by terrorism andforces of progressive evil founded by liberalism.

Grateful to Salem Firefighters Relief AssociationIt is with great appreciation I write this letter of thanks to the Salem

With so many years of wonderful memories, the seniors look forward tothis time of year with great anticipation. Te firefighters have an intuitiveknack of making the seniors feel so special. On behalf of our seniors I wantto extend our sincere and tremendous appreciation to the Salem FirefightersRelief Association for their enormous generosity in serving delicious

America Passes Its First Budget Since 2009Congratulations is due (finally) to the two-year bipartisan budget

agreement hammered out by Congress and signed by President BarackObama last Tursday, serving as a slightly-late but welcome Christmaspresent to the country. Negotiations were headed by Democrat PattyMurray and Republican (and last years VP candidate) Paul Ryan, and wasstrongly fueled by a conscious desire to avert a nother government shutdownon January 15 (unfortunately still a possibility). Te House vote was 332-94, and the earlier Senate tally was 64-36, both bodies headed as usual bythe Democrats and a smattering of moderate Republicans, a group whosenumbers both in the Senate and the House are beginning to grow as the

Washington GOP at long last is beginning to wake up to the fact, realizedby the rest of us since Day One back in 2010, that their noxious ea Partyfaction holds as much, if not even more danger for their numbers than theydo to the Democrats.

Tis is the first federal budget agreed to infour yearsby our hopelessly-divided politicians in Washington, and predictably the only way that bothsides were able to pass the legislation was for speaker John Boehners GOP-controlled House to finally wake up, smell the coffee and repudiate the eaParty arm of their cabal. And Boehner certainly accomplished this in abig way a couple weeks before Christmas as the budget logjam continued,thanks to the rent Franks and Rich Nugents of his world, by lashing outvehemently against his regressive antagonizers, call ing them ridiculous,likening the mainstream GOP/ea Party battle as a civil war, and finallyverbalizing what anyone of intelligence has known for the past five years byintoning I think they are misleading their followers. Gee, John ... youthink?

Tis shouldve-remained-underground Republican subgenre beganforming several weeks after Obama won the presidency over John McCainback in November, 2008. Many shadowy outside organizations likeHeritage Action and the Senate Conservative Fund helped the ea Partiersimmeasurably in their nascent months, providing dollars and publicity,which included many ugly anti-Obama billboards, faux news spots, etc.Teir adherents currently are approximately 90 percent white and 60 percentmale and demonstrated early-on that they had no problem whatsoeverblasting and blaming the Obama administration for every Bush/Cheney-

caused mess that they inherited, from a ruined economy, two raging wars,hundreds of thousands of lost jobs monthly, and the complete erosion offaith of our overseas allies. Four years of rampant, unprecedented GOPSenate filibustering of everything from legislation to routine presidentialjudge appointments rendered the Democrats changing the filibuster ruleson November 21 a foregone conclusion to anyone following the continuingWashington impasse.

Originally claiming to be a libertarian-style anti-tax group, a littlesurveying of their voting proclivities from the Obama victor y to the presentshows ea Party pols to be just another anti-minority/women/immigrant/entitlement program cabal whose national significance rests on Americanconservative voters pulling the levers for them in droves back in November2010 while many Democrat voters stayed home watching daytime V,protesting the fact that the United States wasnt back to the Bill Clintonyears yet. Boehner and the rest of the GOP hierarchy had no problem backthen backing these regressives, even as many of them campaigned aga instand defeated solid moderate Republicans like Richard Lugar, Charlie Cristand Bob Bennett.

But its nice to see Boehner along with other national-level Republicanscome around, even if belatedly. Te Democrat Party had to fight tooth-and-nail over Obamas first term to pass all the legislation that pulled

America out of the boiling cauldron George W. Bush had left it in, asthe Republican House/Senate fought against each and every bill, evenincluding many that in the past wouldve been embraced by any respectableconservative. Tere was no mainstream GOP during those four years, asthe Republican- headed House and the ugl y Mitch McConnell-led Senateminority denigrated and filibustered the very legislation, job programs, etc.that enabled our nation to recover. Tankfully there looks like theres achance for some enforced bipartisan cooperation between the parties overthe next three years due to the Speakers about-face regarding his ea Partymembers, who have become more of a thorn in their own partys side than

the opposition Democrats ever could be.

I support the Zoning Amendment Proposedby the Salem Planning Department

At the Salem elections in March, I will be supporting the zoningamendment proposed by the Salem Planning Department to permittemporary signs for charities on residential and commercial propertyunder the conditions specified. In the future I will be working with otherinterested Salem residents to expand the zoning amendment, but thisproposed amendment offers much more legal protection for charitableorganizations than they ha ve now.

Here is an example of the shortfall of legal protection: I just learnedyesterday from the new attorney who works for the own of Salem that signsfor charitable fundraisers on personal property are considered commercial!Tus, signs for charitable organizations fundraisers are prohibited unlessthe newly proposed ordinance is approved since commercial signs on privateproperty are not permitted.

At 7 p.m. uesday, January 21, interested citizens can attend the secondhearing on this proposed zoning amendment that will join the currentZoning Ordinance 7:2.4.2 as paragraph 11 if adopted. So many questionswere discussed by the public and the Planning Board members at the firsthearing that the Planning Board agreed to hold the allowed second public

hearing.I am horrified by the interpretation that non-profit fundraisers are

considered commercial, but thats how another experienced volunteer boardmember confirmed the state law. And unless zoning specifically permitssomething, it is prohibited. Tat sounds backwards to me, (like being guiltyuntil proven innocent), but they claim thats NH law. He said we probablywould not get in trouble for posting signs for charitable fundraisers, but ifsomeone complained, the own would have the right to remove the signsright off our residential property. So it sounds like the current law is muchworse than my pet peeve, which is not permitting temporary signs in theright-of-way.

Some of us are currently circulating a petition for removing theprohibition in the Municipal Code 275-17B (not a zoning ordinance) ofsigns in the right-of-way and on other own property. Tis petition will

not affect zoning code. I have already been told thatcitizens cannot change selectmens authority overmunicipal code, but I feel it is important for the votersof Salem to let their opinions be heard.

Later this year my goal is to present a citizenspetition to adopt the sign zoning like Windham(706.6.2.7) and Hampstead, (emporary SignOrdinance adopted 2005 and amended 2006). Tesetown do permit non-profit charities to put temporarysigns in the right-of-way.

Note: political signs are protected by Supreme Courtrulings so strongly that the own is reluctant to removeeven old ones placed illegally.

Setting the Record Straight onMissing M1 Rifles

o whom it may concern, this letter is a response tothe Salem Community PatriotTumbs up? Tumbs

down? comment in the December, 20, 2013 issueabout the rifle issue.1. I do not lie!2. As for embarrassing Te American Legion, we do

not work behind closed doors and stand up forright and wrong. We are a United States AmericanWar Veterans organization, get it?

3. Te Salem Police Department agreed to keep theM1 rifles in their armory for safe keeping afterthe Salem Police Color Guard discontinued usingthem.

4. Upon enquiring to Chief Donovan that the rifles

were still secure I was informed that they were soldfor a gun trade in program so the own of Salemcould get new up to date weapons for the policedepartment.

5. No action was taken even though the M1rifles were and still are property of the FederalGovernment.

6. As for not having any issue with them being sold,there is/was nothing we could do. Tey were sold,gone ...

7. Tis past year as we are getting more youngerveterans as members and they have an interestin forming a Color Guard. Paper work wassubmitted and a letter from the Salem PoliceDepartment was required to explain whathappened to the rifles that were assigned to thepost and got sold. Much time passed and manycalls later it is was looking l ike a possibility thatthe Government would not approve our requestand there was still an ongoing investigation overthis issue.

8. With the possibility looming we would not receiverifles for a new Color Guard a nd the own startingthe budget process I informed a member of theBoard who is a member of the Post and attendeda meeting to offi cially in form the Board and ownthat from where we sit the own is on the hookto replace the ten weapons if we did not receivereplacements.

9. At that meeting it was noted that Chief Donovanapologized for selling the rifles and his a pology

had been accepted, but they were gone and thereis nothing that he or we can do about it other thangetting them replaced.

10. Te Board was also informed that replacement M1Garand rifles were about $1,000 each.

11. Te comments you made are Te rifles were notworth $1,000 each as they were dated and in poorcondition. Interesting comment, seems like youwere familiar with the weapons, and definitely donot know what you are talking about!a. ry to purchase 10 M1 Garand Rifles that are in

good condition and safeto fire that do not cost

around $1,000 each.b. I had checked out and returned two of therifles over the years from the armory a nd uponinspection they were in very good condition!

c. From what I was told most of the rifles were stillpacked in cosmoline.

d. Your dated comment makes no sense at all.Tey are World War II rifles; they are dated, andvery collectible! Tey can go for up to and over$2,000 each depending on condition.

12. As for your comments about me being in cahootswith Mr. Campbell in his campaign to smearthe Police Department is a joke. Yes, I considermyself a friend of Mr. Campbell as well a s Mr.Hargreaves, Mr. Lyons and Chairman McBride.Although I have only met Mr. Keller, I like him ashe puts his brain in gear before putting his mouthin motion. Something that more people shouldconsider doing ...

13. If you know me at all, as a former selectman Istood and still stand behind our employees unless

they deserve to be dismissed.14. I could not and cannot be led by anyone as I careabout my town, my country and what is best forthem.

15. If you care to discuss this issue face to faceover a cup of coffee and not hiding behind ananonymous article, contact me.

Salemhaven Donates Hair to Childrenby Doug Robinson

Salemhavens Nursing and RehabilitationTechnical Media Coordinator, Lynda Drouin,along with resident, Paul Monty, donated theirlocks of hair to The Childhood Leukemiasprogram Wigs 4 Kids.

For over 30 years, Wigs for Kids has beenproviding Hair Replacement Systems andsupport for children who have lost their hair dueto chemotherapy, radiation therapy, Alopecia,Trichotillomania, burns and other medical issuesat no cost to children or their families.

The effects of hair loss go deeper than just achange in a childs outward appearance. Hairloss can erode a childs self-confidence and limitthem from experiencing life the way children

should. With an injured self-image, a childsattitude toward treatment and their physicalresponse to it can be negatively affected also.Wigs for Kids helps children suffering from hairloss look themselves and live their lives, writesthe Wigs for Kids Foundation.

The Wigs for Kids Mission Statement reads:Helping Children Look Themselves and LiveTheir Lives!

Lynda is a six year cancer survivor and Paul isa wonderful man who has lived at Salemhavenfor some time. Paul has been growing his hairfor a year and a half and is very excited tomake such a charitable donation, commentedSalemhavens Community Liaison Coordinator,Stephanie Micklon. He is going from surferdude to prep dude.

Community Feedbackby Michael W. Delahanty, Ed.D., Superintendent, SAU 57

This past November, as part of our strategic planning efforts, the school district asked randomly selectedcommunity members to complete a feedback survey. Were most grateful and thankful to everyone whotook the time to complete the online survey or the paper survey that was available at three locations

within Salem. Our committee has reviewed the results and would like to share some preliminaryinformation.

Its encouraging to know that most of the respondents are satisfied or very satisfied with the districtswork performance. This includes individuals with children in our schools as well as many who donot have children in district schools. However, its important to note that almost 30 percent of therespondents without children in our schools have no opinion one way or another and another 11 percentis dissatisfied. Further, 11 percent of respondents with children in our schools are not satisfied with thedistricts performance. This is much too high.

Of interest is the balance of opinions from different age groups. Our survey provided age brackets from18-39 years of age; from 40-65 years; and over 65 years old. Fifty-three percent of the respondents in the18-39 group agree or strongly agree that our district is preparing students for the future. The percentageincreases to 60 and 65 percent for the other two age brackets. Also, 30 percent of the respondents in the18-39 age group and in the over 65 group have no opinion one way or another. This indicates that wehave to do a better job of communicating our work.

It was interesting to review responses from residents who have lived in Salem for more than 20 yearsand compare them with residents who have lived in Salem for five years or fewer. The higher levels ofsatisfaction, almost 80 percent, were found in the group that has lived in Salem the longest while morethan 40 percent of the respondents who have lived in Salem five years or fewer have no opinion one wayor another about the districts work. This is another indication that we have to improve communicationstrategies.

Finally, several themes emerged from the general comments provided by respondents. Among them

was clear support for a high school renovation project and concerns that families moving to the areaare choosing other communities due to the schools condition. On the other hand, several respondentsexpressed concern for the tax impact of the school districts budget. Its clear that we must demonstratethe investments direct value. Several respondents commented favorably about the completed renovationprojects and those currently underway. Others commented about our general communication efforts. Itwas encouraging that more than a third of the respondents provided open comments for our review.

Again, were deeply grateful to everyone who provided valuable information to inform ourimprovement efforts. There are clear opportunities to improve our work to provide a quality education toour children and to develop our communication efforts to the community. More to come.

An initial communication strategy will be to improve our use of social media. Please take a momentand like us on Facebook!

Thumbs downto Shawn Patton. Who gaveyou the right to go after anyone seen as a political

opponent? The SPD is now used as a localGestapo to smear anyone theydisagree with. With electionscoming up Im sure more is onthe way. Talk about civil rightsviolations. If anyone is hauledinto court, it should be theDeputy Fuhrer!

Thumbs downto staterepresentatives who vote againstgambling at Rockingham Park.

Thumbs downto TM Hickey.I dont think the complaintagainst selectman Campbellwas political. Are you serious?Did you have a straight face when you said that?Where is the condemnation for Deputy Patton andChief Breen? If Campbell sneezes wrong, theyreready to hang. But if a town official screws up,

silence. Show some courage, Hickey. The othertwo look like fools, dont be one of them.

Thumbs upto the DPW for working nearly 2days straight keeping the roads clear.

Thumbs upto the caring neighbor who tookthe time to renovate the neighborhood sign at thecorner of Cortland Drive and Ticklefancy Lane. Itreally is a nice p lace to live!

Thumbs upto the Salem Community Patriot forkeeping the thumbs page. It is my favorite sectionin the paper!

Thumbs downto the person who thumbsdown the high school renovations and thecustodial staff. You do realize that school wasbuilt in 1966, and mechanical fixes every year can

only do so much? Its not the custodial staff. Theydo their job to fix and clean as much as possible.Obviously you havent been inside the schoollong enough to notice it. You think you can do a

better job? Then become a janitor. Do somethingabout it. And the high school wouldnt need $75

million dollars for renovations if the approval for

minor renovations were approved years ago. Butno, its the people of Salem who constantly turndown the vote for it.

Thumbs upto Mike Delahanty for callingschool for Friday on Thursday. It makes our livesmuch easier!

Thumbs up/Thumbs down.The town of Salem doesnt have

any authority over any propertyoutside of its property. Judgeshave ruled that these so-calledagencies are private contractors.And the people who work forthem, including police, areprivate contractees. And theyare all vulnerable to lawsuit. Soour police and fire, who savelives every day, need to knowwhere they stand. Rod Class hashad four judges now that haveruled the police are not part

of the State. They are private contractors. Andmanager Hickley probably knows this.

Thumbs downto PatHargreaves for continually

becoming confused duringmeetings. No one understandswhat you are talking about andwe are not sure you do either.

Thumbs up/Thumbs down.Wow, Shawn Patten of the SalemPolice Department doesntthink that Steve Campbellshould have an apology for theso-called incident at MarketBasket with the fireman, whichMr. Campbell did not have.The excuse was that Steve hada lot of negative things to sayabout the Police and the FireDepartment. Why? BecauseSteve Campbell and PatHargraves are the only ones onthe board that fight for the taxpayers?

Thumbs downto temporarysigns. They are all over theplace. The town should banthem.

Thumbs upto Mike Lyons fortrying to get the BOS to supportthe high school renovation.Thumbs down to everyone elsefor not supporting it.

Thumbs downto the Garciasisters. I lether put a signon my lawn

the last time she ran for election.Shes the one that really ruined itfor Rockingham Park. She threwa wrench in it. So if shes nothappy with what were doing

here in Salem, Ive been here 80years.

Thumbs upto the snow. Ihope we get a lot more.

Thumbs upto the Boys andGirls Club for taking care of kidsin the community.

Thumbs downto Selectman Hargreaves again,for using the BOS meeting to stand on a soapbox and self promote himself as an alleged goodguy. Salem does not have a homeless populationproblem, the Police Department is very familiarwith those in the community who are having hardtimes and often drive those people to the areashelters or soup kitchens across the border. If you

really wanted to help that person at Dunkins youshould have taken that fat wad of $$$$ out of your

pocket you got from plowing snow and got hima meal and a hotel room. Just like the guy wholived behind Marshalls in the woods, rather than

just help him you made it a photo op. Genuinepeople who help others never look for credit fordoing so but youre looking for votes again arentyou?

Thumbs upto the state expanding last call!Salem needs to adopt that!

Thumbs upto 2014!

companion is his first priority. He is extremely intelligent, has basic obedience, is

very well mannered and is house trained.

Marley gets along with other dogs and cats, but prefers lower energy dogs thatwill not jump on him and expect him to be a puppy in play. Marleys ideal home

would be folks that will give him the mental stimulation and affection and just his

people to love.

Maintaining Your

Your Annual Financial CheckupW.F.Boutin EA - Total Tax Solutions LLC

I am happy to participate in The Area News Groups MaintainingYour Piece of the Pie series once again this tax filing season. However,since the Area News Group has started printing the Salem Patriot on a

bi-weekly schedule, there are not enough weeks to present the seriesas I have in the past. This year's articles will cover specific areas of taxlaw as opposed to a continuing series dissecting the income tax return.Should certain terminology in the articles be confusing, you can visitour web site at www.totaltxsolutions.com where there will be a seriesof articles similar to prior years.

My intent remains to bring to the fore the multiple options you haveto enact informed decisions regarding your upcoming expenditures.Hopefully helping you plan for your financial future in these challeng-ing times.

As I am sure you are aware by now, The IRS has announced that theywill not be accepting returns until around a Jan.28th time frame. This isdue to the government shutdown experienced in late 2013. I still urgetaxpayers who may be ready to file prior to this date to schedule a timeto have their taxes prepared. Then once the IRS does go online, youreturns will be in queue for acceptance.

At Total Tax Solutions we view the preparation of the income taxreturn as a time for an annual financial checkup. The tax laws arecomplicated and confusing to many individuals. Each taxpayerssituation is unique and might change from year to year. The income taxreturn itself is very complex since a minor change in one area of thereturn can affect several other areas of the return. Certain transactionsthat occur during the year can cost you much more than you antici-

pated. This is because of the affect an increase in total income canhave on certain deductions and credits that have phase- out limits.

Of course I would recommend that you have your taxes profession-ally prepared so that you can: 1) ask questions pertaining to yourreturn: 2) understand your options to lower your taxes for the next yearand 3) have someone who you can call if a particular situation shouldarise during the year. With your previous years data in our computerswe can give realistic advice instead of assumptions. Many of ourclients take advantage of this service which is included in their onetime preparation fee.

I realize that not all returns are so complicated as to require profes-sional preparation. Self preparers however should consider having theirtaxes professionally prepared at least once every 3 to 4 years. Taxpreparation software is not intelligent software. The software simplyadds and subtracts data inputs based upon answering yes and noquestions. The user cannot interact with the software by askingquestions, and must spend time reviewing tax law, to answer thequestions correctly. Having a return professionally prepared once everyfourth year gives the self preparer the opportunity to verify theirunderstanding of the tax laws, allows them to ask pertinent questionspertaining to their unique situations, and most important, gives themthe peace of mind that they have fulfilled a financial checkup.

Mistakes made on previous returns have a three year window foramendment. Many mistakes that we have found over the years wouldhave cost taxpayers much more than a tax preparation fee. Over thepast several years many of our first time clients had errors on priorreturns. These clients benefited from amended returns with refunds of$250 to $3000 because they decided to have their returns preparedprofessionally. However, the errors found were not only from selfprepared returns but returns prepared for fees as well. In many casesthese errors were not only from an interpretation of tax law but frominexperience. When having your tax returns professionally prepared,do not hesitate to ask for references and question the experience ofyour tax preparer.
