On Feb. 10, a little after noon, a c

hunk of falling ice hit a gaspipe and created a leak behind 419 South Broadway, home of anumber of retail establishments and The Birches Academy CharterSchool. The Birches’ neighbors, White Street Paint, who were thefirst to know, immediately thought to notify the school so theycould immediately evacuate 193 children into the ice and slushthat remained after the last snowstorm. The snow on the streetswas still so significant that all of Salem, including The Birches, hadhad a 90-minute delay of school that morning.

As the school took attendance in the parking lot, the SalemFire and Police departments arrived in force and took immediatecharge of the safety of the students. To get the students as far awayfrom the gas leak as fast as possible, they stopped all traffic onRoute 28 so that that students and school personnel could crossover to the soon-to-be-opened Toyota and Honda dealership acrossthe street from the school.

After crossing Route 28, the administration of The Birches calledboth First Student, the bus company that serves Salem students and

Superintendent Mike Delahanty. Both responded immediately bycoming to the aid of their neighboring charter school. First Studentimmediately sent a fleet of buses and the police departmentlet them through the closed traffic to the Birches students. Thesuperintendent opened the doors of Salem High School to shelterthe Birches’ students. No one who participated in this evacuationwill ever forget one of the firefighters who picked up a first grader,still in his slippers from school, which he had changed intofrom his boots this snowy morning, and carried him over the icypuddles on the street to the safety and warmth of the First Studentbuses.

When the children arrived at the high school, SuperintendentDelahanty was there to personally greet everyone along with TracyCollyer, principal of staff of Salem High School, who immediatelymobilized her staff. They provided the comfort of their auditoriumand clipboards and tables to check the students as the parentsbegan to arrive. The Birches’ staff and students shared their spacefor the next three hours while every need was fulfilled, includingsnacks bought from vending machines at 3:30 to feed the teacherswho had not eaten all day.

So many people have been victims of this terrible winter

weather and The Birches Academy on this day was no exception.But the response of the neighbors in the plaza, the SalemPolice and Fire departments, First Student bus company and theleadership and staff of SAU 57 was truly extraordinary. The Birchesstaff and grateful parents would like to thank all of the friends andneighbors who reached out and turned a potential horrendoussituation into an opportunity to experience the generosity of theSalem community.

Evacuated Dueto Gas Leak

by S. Aaron ShamshoyanThe last town

deliberative session tobe held at the existingSalem High Schoolauditorium is on thebooks as the building isbeing renovated over thenext few years, yet thenearly 3.5 hour meetingsaw fewer than 100 inattendance.

Amendments toarticle eight, the town’s

proposed 2015 operatingbudget, sparked debatewith two amendmentsbeing proposed to the$41.75 million article.

First, voters approvedadding $15,000 for Rockingham CommunityAction to the budget.

Following that, Selectman Everett McBrideproposed adding $82,800 as the bids come in torepaint the Howard St. water tank.

“The bid came in a little high,” McBride said.“We have ample finding in the water fund.”

The increase would come from the waterreserved fund balance and would not affect thewater rate.

Town Manager Keith Hickey said the tank wassupposed to be painted every 15 years and it wastime for the maintenance.

“We need to repaint the outside, which is whatthis money is proposed for.”

The budget currently has $450,000 for theproject Hickey explained, adding the bid came

in at $532,800. Theamendment passed.

Selectmen’s ChairmanPat Hargreaves sought anamendment to article 13,winter weather operations,doubling the total amountto $500,000 as a result ofthe continuing snowstorms.

“We had a little snowstorm a couple weeks agoand a little more snowcoming up this week,”Hargreaves said.

Director of PublicWorks Rick Russell saidthe money was needed toget though this winter andmake it till January 2016.

“Over the past 11 dayswe’ve had over 60 inches of snow,” he said. “It’skind of drained our resources.”

Russell said the town’s road salt supplyneeded to be replenished and that would requirespending much of the funds.

“We’re going to be over $200,000 just toreplace our materials,” he said. The funds wouldcome from the unreserved fund balance.

The amendment was approved and moved tothe ballot.

Voters also approved adding $318,450 fromthe unreserved fund balance to article 14, the2015 road construction article.

This is the first year recently bids were notfavorable and above the proposed amount.

All articles will appear on the March 10 ballotfor election day.

Town Operating Budget Sparks Debateat Deliberative Session

Voters Reinstate $400Kin Cuts Made by Budget Committee

by S. Aaron ShamshoyanOver $400,000 has been added back to the school district’s

operating budget per deliberative session. This occurred after fundshad been cut from the article by the budget committee.

School board member Michael Carney made the motion toamend school district article two by adding $424,168 back to theproposed budget.

“This is a restoration amendment to bring back the funds that theschool board recommended to the budget committee,” Carney said.

Going through the cuts the budget committee made, Carneyexplained the actual operating budget was down nearly $600,000,

but interest and principal payments on approved bonds have driventhe cost up.Retirement costs were also to blame, with the state reducing its

contribution and requiring the district to cover over $400,000 more

than previous years.“They’ve solved their budget problem by pushing the expenses

down to the local communities,” Carney said about the state.He noted over $2 million in significant increases were made to

the budget, and the board worked hard to offset the costs includingclosing Haigh Elementary School to students at the end of thecurrent school year.

“We thought it was best to close that school to help put someoperational savings into the budget,” Carney said, adding about$800,000 was saved by closing the facility.

Selectman Stephen Campbell spoke as the budget committee

representative saying he was opposed to the amendment and thedistrict could find since enrollments were declining.“You would expect that costs would be going down,” he said.

“Only one high school teacher has been reduced.”

Seven BudCom Members Take Votein Violation of State Law

by S. Aaron ShamshoyanA vote to reconsider a recommendation by the Salem Budget

Committee on Article 7, a proposed public safety complex hasbeen deemed illegal by town lawyers since the article was notamended during the deliberative session on Feb. 7.

Town attorney Barton Mayer cited RSA 32:5, V. (b) which statesin part, If the article is amended at first session of the meeting inan official ballot referendum municipality, the governing body andbudget committee, if one exists, may revise its recommendation onthe special warrant article and the revised recommendation shall

appear on the ballot.“The budget committee does not have the legal authority to

change its recommendation when the town meeting has notamended the article,” Mayer wrote.

The motion to reconsider at a budget committee meeting in thehigh school’s lobby immediately after deliberative session camefrom member Martha Spalding.

Draft minutes from the meeting do not detail discussion on themotion but only indicate the reconsideration vote was 4-3 to movewithout recommendation.

Clarification on the minutes from Chairman Dane Hoover saidthe four supporting votes to change the recommendation werehimself, Shannon Bettencourt, Martha Spalding, and Paul Welch.Opposed to the change were Robert Bryant, Paul Huard, andSelectmen’s Representative Stephen Campbell.

Spalding said at the Feb. 11 budget committee meeting, she wastold information she received from Selectman James Keller waswrong and that public meetings were not held while drafting theproposal.

“I felt it was only fair for taxpayers to have some input whencoming up with the proposal,” she said. “I asked Selectman

Keller if there had been public hearings, when he said ‘yes,’ it wasenough for me to vote with recommendation.”

Keller stood by his words to Spalding saying the meetings wereindeed public and was confused how she heard otherwise.

“I’m all about transparency, Keller later said. “I’m all aboutintegrity, I don’t lie to people.”

He said besides public hearings at the budget committee, boardof selectmen, and deliberative session, other meetings were openand held in the conference room at the town hall.

“I don’t know how much more public they could be,” Keller said.“They were all public.”

Budget committee member Paul Huard said the committee hadbeen meeting for two years, and people could have joined thecommittee at any time.

“This went on for two years, so it is not like new, so it wasn’t asurprise,” he said.

School board representative Michael Carney could not attend thepost-deliberative meeting but weighed in after hearing about thevote.

“They don’t know the law,” Carney, a former budget committeemember, said. “I think they really saw I wasn’t there and they hadthe vote to change it.”

He said the reconsideration was not needed and there shouldhave been enough information presented initially.

“They have a public meeting, they take a preliminary vote, theytake a final vote,” he said.

Hoover said the vote was a mistake explaining he wasunaware of the clause requiring an article to be amended beforereconsidering it.

“I didn’t see the clause,” he said. “I was unaware of the clause.”At the Feb. 11 meeting, Hoover, a two-term chairman, said the

young board was unaware of the clause.“All of us being less than one term, except Mr. Huard being a

term and a quarter,” he said. “It is with recommendation for thesafety complex.”

Huard said the board should have known the vote was notallowed during the meeting.

“The two of us at least should have known better. That was notnecessary because there had been no change,” he said to Hoover.

Selectmen’s Representative Stephen Campbell, a 16-year veteran

of the budget committee who has advocated against the proposal,said he forgot the clause.

“None of the seven of us that voted remembered the rules,” hesaid. “It slipped my mind.”

Budget committee member Stephen Plante was also absent fromthe meeting after the deliberative session.

Article 7 will be on the March ballot seeking to construct a joint public safety complex combining the police department andcentral fire station.

Soule Students and Staff Appreciate their Award-Winning Principal

by Jay HobsonSoule School Principal Anna Parrill, who was

recently named NH Principal of the Year, washonored by her staff and students in at assemblyon Tuesday.

Superintendent of Schools Michael Delahantywas on hand and gave an object lesson to thestudents using a “junk metal bar” that althoughsome would call it junk, others could see usesand value. It could be made into a horseshoeor even jewelry, and that that is what PrincipalParrill does; she sees worth and value in thepeople she meets.

Others in attendance were school boardmembers Bernie Campbell, Pamela Berry andSchool Board Chair Patricia Corbett.

Students from each grade sang a songhonoring Parrill and a “This is Your Life” presentation was madefeaturing students portraying the people in Parrill’s life from herhome in Ohio.

Parrill was heraldedas being competitiveand showed her skill atspinning a basketball on her finger to the applause of her students.

A letter was read to her, written from her former principal atHampstead Middle School Dick Fugere, now retired.

“Out of all the assistant principals that served with me over theyears, you were the best,” Fugere said.

Parrill has been principal of Soule for nine years and it was noted

that she makes an effort to learn all of the students’ names and hasa habit of giving nicknames to some.

Parrill said that she couldn’t imagine such a great honor beingbestowed on her and thanked the students and staff for theiraccolades.

“All my life I have been involved in team sports as a competitor,and there’s no way that this award is about one person; no way,”Parrill said. “My qualities are being a coach and to bring out thebest in you. But every single day, by your smiles and looking atyou, I see the best in me.”

Re-Elect Huard andGain Bipartisan Approach

My name is Paul Huard and I am, once again,a candidate for the Salem Budget Committee. Iam originally from Manchester. I received abachelor’s and master’s degree from Keene StateCollege. I started teaching in Hillsboro. Whenconditions became unbearable, I searched fora new opportunity. Salem offered one, and mywife, Kathy, and I fell in love with the town. Itbecame the perfect place for my daughters,Rebecca and Amy. We have been extremelysatisfied with what the town has given us. Thetown is vibrant, safe, affordable, and providesgreat opportunities.

I spent 36 years as a teacher, advisor, andactively served the community and state. I spent43 years as an official in several sports. I servedon the Executive Board for Boys’ Basketball andas President and Treasurer of NH Track Officials.My largest contribution to Salem was working forstudents. As class advisor to seven classes, theNational Honor Society, Yearbook, and Organizerto the SHS Faculty Scholarship Plays, I believethat my work helped students in positive ways.My work for Dollars for Scholars and Trust FundTrustee since 1988, and the work of others, helpedus distribute over a million dollars to graduates. Icurrently serve as JP and Bail Commissioner forthe 10th District Court.

My reason for running is I believe that I stillhave something to offer. I am not political and Idespise partisanship voting. Look at Washington,at New Hampshire, and then at Salem. We have

amazing people who work together for us notparties! Since selected, then elected and re-elected to serve on the Budget Committee, I havelearned much. Despite the critics, things areimproving. Our town continues to grow, despitesetbacks. We have mortgage and unemploymentproblems, but we also have one of the lowest taxrates in southern New Hampshire. We have fixedroads, bridges and schools. Salem once again isvibrant and growing. New construction continuesto add to the tax base.

We have to make decisions with commonsense. Unions, town and school officials workedhard to be fair while trying to save money. Weneed to take care of many groups and issues: ourelderly, our children, struggling families, safety onour streets, replacing deteriorating structures, andattracting people to Salem. Salem has workedhard to do well for its citizens. Salem is safe withdedicated employees working hard to protect us,educate us, and make our streets safe. Salem isnot a “silver lining” but it’s not a “dark cloud”either, as some project. You can’t fix broken witha “No!”

I make no promises except to work hard. Theprimary responsibility for making Salem work,however, belongs to the School Board and theSelectmen. I have served with people who arecommitted to the taxpayers of Salem. I hope youwill give me another chance to serve. Whateveryour decision, I hope that you will vote andsupport the community.

Campbell said high school enrollment haddropped about 130 students and felt the costdecreases didn’t follow enrollment.

School board member Bernard Campbellsaid the staffing decisions should be left to staff,and student-to-teacher ratios are not a directcorrelation.

Campbell said a band class could have 70students and only one teacher,while Advanced Placementcourses might only have 12students.

“I believe that the school boardin supporting the administrationshould be given the opportunityin making decisions on aligningour staff in an appropriate fashionbased on programming and basedon need,” Campbell said. “Thebudget committee obviously is notin the school.”

Carney said the board was

working hard to keep tax impacts minimal andseek savings for taxpayers.

“We are taking the impact of our budget on the

tax rate very cautiously,” he said.Voters approved the amendment, and the article

was moved to the ballot to be voted upon inMarch.

The Tax Return- The AffordableCare Act- Part 2

W.F.Boutin EA - Total Tax Solutions LLCOnly taxpayers who purchased qualified health plans from a state or

federal operated Health Insurance Marketplace, may be eligible for thenew Premium Tax Credit (PTC). When taxpayers enrolled for a plan

through the Marketplace, eligible taxpayers were able to choose tohave some or all of the credit paid in advance to their insurancecompany to lower their premiums or claim all of the benefit when theyfiled their returns. You must file a tax r eturn to claim this credit, or ifyou received advance credit payments to offset your premiumsthroughout the year, you must file to reconcile these advance paymentswith the actual amount allowed. Since income was estimated at thetime of sign up for these plans, taxpayers must now calculate the actualcredit allowed for the year based upon the income received on the taxreturn. If excess payments were received during the year, the excessamount will need to be added to the tax liability on the return and berepaid.

Taxpayers are allowed a premium tax credit if they meet the follow-ing criteria: 1) The taxpayer, spouse or dependents were enrolled atsome time in one or more plans offered through the Marketplace. ( Youare considered to be covered for a month in a MEC if you wereenrolled and entitled to receive benefits for at least one day during thatmonth), 2) one or more of these individuals were NOT eligible foranother MEC (such as through your employer) during the time enrolledin the Marketplace 3) and the taxpayer is an applicable taxpayer. (Youare an applicable taxpayer if your household income is at least 100%but not more than 400% of the federal poverty line (FPL) for your

family size. If married, you file a joint return with your spouse, unlessyou are considered "unmarried" for the Head of Household filingstatus. You cannot be claimed as a dependent by another taxpayer.)

The Federal Poverty Line (FPL) is determined, adjusted for inflation,and published at the beginning of each year by the US Dept. of Healthand Human Services (HHS). It is based upon family size. The PremiumTax Credit for 2014 is based upon the 2013 FPL that was availablewhen enrollment started in 2013. ( I have published a link at ourwebsite to view these tables)

The taxpayer's household income is the modified adjusted grossincome (MAGI) of the taxpayer, spouse if married filing a joint returnand all dependents listed on the taxpayers return who are required tofile a federal return for the year. MAGI for purposes of the Premium TaxCredit, is the adjusted gross income on the return (AGI) plus anyexcluded foreign income, nontaxable social security benefits includingtier 1 railroad retirement benefits (not SSI), and any tax exempt interest.

A taxpayer is allowed a PTC only for months that a member of his(her) family was enrolled in a plan through the Marketplace and noteligible for another MEC from any other source. This includes eligibilityfor Medicaid, Medicare or other government sponsored programs. Thetaxpayer, spouse and others for whom the taxpayer claims a personalexemption on the return, meeting these 2 requirements are part of thetaxpayers "coverage family".

Taxpayers who purchased their MEC through the Marketplace, willreceive a Form 1095-A, Health Insurance Marketplace Statement.

The information on the form includes monthly premiums applicableto the SLCSP used to compute the credit, the total monthly premiumpaid for the coverage of all family members, the amount of advancecredit payments and the SSN, names of all covered individuals, andother required information. (The SLCSP is the second lowest cost silverplan offered by the Marketplace. The Marketplace offers Bronze, SilverGold and Platinum)

This information must be entered into the new Form 8962 PremiumTax Credit. Since a taxpayer's MEC is considered on a month by monthbasis, then the Form 1095-A and Form 8962 is broken down intomonthly segments. If plans change, family members change throughoutthe year or the MEC is not met during any part of the year, then thePTC can only be calculated on a month to month basis and thentotaled to determine the credit for the year. If taxpayers are enrolled inthe same qualified plan for all 12 months and if their SLCSP does notchange, then a single annual calculation can be completed. Taxpayersmust wait to receive their 1095-A before attempting to complete their2014 income tax return so that Form 8962 can be completed.

public facilities in this town are in the conditionthey are is because of our unwillingness to sayyes. We hear from many of our elected offi cials,consistently, that the tax payers cannot affordincreases to the tax rate. Tat a certain plancannot be supported because it is too costly, ornot enough research is done or any number ofthe same old tired mantras. But the “nos” meanthat needed repairs and upgrades don’t get doneand the conditions don’t miraculously g o away,they just continue to get worse.

Each time we say no we a re forced to bringthe issue up further down the road and the costfor the same types of repairs have increased. Atsome point, there has to be a time to say yes.

Tere is never a “good time” to spend thesignificant amount of money we are talkingabout. Tere will always be some legitimateargument as to why now might not be the timefor renovations or a new facility. I would submitto my fellow citizens and this board of electedoffi cials that now is the time to say yes.

Over the past few weeks I have heardcomments from residents in town and fromboard members here last night asking why wehave to spend $23 million, why can’t we justspent a few million.

Te time for piece meal repairs to the policeand fire station has passed. As a taxpayer I sayno to the continued flushing of my ha rd earnedmoney down the toilet for band aid repairs. Teband aid needs to be ripped off.

It is time to say “Yes.”It is time to say “Yes,” we care about our town;It is time to say “Yes” we care about our

employees and our residents’ safety;It is time to say, “Yes” we care enough to bite

the bullet and get done what needs to get donebefore the costs escalate yet again; it is time tosay “Yes” to the future of Salem; it is time to say“Yes” to Salem Pride

Melissa Sorcinelli, Salem

Tink Before You Writeo my critics in the paper I wish to say

thanks for revealing your ignorance. Clearly,these ideologues believe the propaganda theyare shoveled by Rather, Williams, the Clintons,and Obama, all proven or admitted liars. othese people, facts mean nothing, only theirunsupported opinions are real. Fortunately,I learned how to research and to build anargument predicated upon factual evidence.

Te fundamental cause of the 2008 economic

collapse was unpaid mortgages mandatedby Democrat Congress passed law. TeCommunity Reinvestment Act 1977, passed bya Democratic Congress and signed by Carter, was noble in its cause to enable minorities theability to get mortgages. It was a guideline untilClinton’s HUD created regulations mandatingbanks to extend credit without being assuredthe creditor could actually pay using newlydeveloped mortgage vehicles and minimizeddown payments.

Tese new regulations issued in 1995required the use of “innovative or flexible”lending practices to address credit needs ofLow Moderate Income (LMI) borrowers andneighborhoods. Te liberal bible NY Times itselfreported in 1999 that Fannie Mae and FreddieMac were under pressure from the Clintonadministration to increase lending to LMIhome buyers - a policy that necessarily entailedbooking mortgages with unacceptably high risks.

Banks responded to this new accountability byincreasing the CRA loans they made by relaxinglending standards. Te reason was a threatfrom the Federal regulators (union bureaucrats)that non-compliant banks couldn’t merge orbe merged into other banks unless a significantpercentage of their loans were given to minorities with minimized income. Tat, along withbundling these risky mortgages for investors,created the mortgage bubble. Unionizedgovernment bureaucrats are permanent and span Administrations, making them most effective

at implementing such bad policy. Te factthe majority are Democrats only adds to theargument.

Te biggest mistruth was spoken this weekby revisionist Obama who, at a prayer breakfast,spewed an alternate version of history to criticize America and the Judeo-Christian ethic that builtthe success of the West since the Renaissance.He said for Americans “not to get on [their] highhorse” against radical Islam due to the Crusades,the Inquisition, Slavery and Jim Crow laws.

Fact is, in 1095 the Pope called on Western

Christians to take up arms in order to aid theByzantine Christians and recapture the HolyLand from Muslims after their initial jihadinvasion. Te actions during every war ofteninclude atrocities not condoned by society or thearmy. In the West perpetrators of such atrocities, when discovered, are prosecuted. Clearly, this isnot the case for the current Islamic Jihadists.

Slavery has been used since man was on theplanet and still occurs today in some third worldand Islamic countries. I find it interesting howblack activists re-write history of the US todenigrate our society. Many of our FoundingFathers, while owning slaves on their plantations,freed them when they died. Christians werethe abolitionists who campaigned for decadesthroughout the West to eliminate slavery. It wasa Republican President who killed slavery in theUS. It was Southern Democrats who passedand enforced Jim Crow Laws. Reverend MartinLuther King Jr. was a Republican and his core

leadership group were real Christian Reverends with actual churches and congregations unlikethe poser Reverends Sharpton and Jackson whoessentially use racial blackmail to make money.Fact is, without Republican votes, the SouthernDemocrats would have defeated the Civil Rights Act.

Tose are facts. I have all the references forthis article so feel free to request them.

Salem residentshave long loved theircommunity. Generationshave carried traditionsforward and establisheda fabric that forms theSalem Pride foundation.This spirit of pride hasreawakened during thepast several years as amomentum of improvementhas carried forward.The pride is evident incommercial development

projects; perseverancein the development andestablishment of a railtrail; enhanced local roadsand bridges; and schoolrenovation projects. Whenresidents are proud of their community, they want to enhance theinfrastructure and ensure opportunities for residents of all ages.Further, representatives of all ages and demographics participate.

Community is giving among each other, and the bestcommunities are centered on citizens’ and group efforts. In thebest communities, skills and resources are shared for commonpurposes. It’s not a few people giving a great deal but a great manypeople giving something.

The words “Salem Pride” became more widely used during thecampaign to encourage support for a comprehensive Salem HighSchool renovation project. The group Strengthen our Schools wasinstrumental in awakening the prideful spirit reflected in civicengagement and community involvement. The result is remarkableand the momentum contagious.

The characteristics ofstrong thriving communitiesinclude the capacityto identify problems,establish priorities, andact. The success of Salem’simprovements these pastseveral years is emblematicof such characteristics.Community leaders andgrass roots groups suchas Strengthen our Schoolsrealize that improvementsare necessary for theyoungest and oldest ofSalem’s citizens, and theyact in those interests.

Though not an overnightsuccess story, Salem Pridehas been at the center of theefforts.

A group of committedand caring people has

carried the Salem Pride spirit forward by developing and adoptinga formal logo to reflect that spirit in graphic form. You can alreadysee the logo on apparel and merchandise and soon everyone willsee Salem Pride on the uniforms of high school athletes, bandmembers, and members of clubs and activities. Further, an onlinestore, established specifically for this purpose, offers Salem Prideclothing for everyone interested in proudly proclaiming theirinterest in advancing improvement efforts.

The people of this town are its greatest asset, and its greatestasset will continue to make all the difference. It’s quite all right tofeel a sense of gratification and satisfaction, even joy, at the idea ofsuccessful community improvement actions that reflect the SalemPride theme. It’s quite okay to wear your Salem Pride … proudly.

The ABCs of SalemSenior Services

by Paula Faist MS, LSW, Silverthorne Adult Day Center Can you tell me the difference between a senior center and adult

day center?I asked Patti Drelick, director of Salem Senior Services, to help

respond to this question.Pattie reports that Salem Senior Services is a department of the

Town of Salem, located at the Ingram Senior Center. The mission ofSalem Senior Services is to assist the Town of Salem’s senior citizensin maintaining self-sufficiency in their homes; acquaint them withlocal, county, state and federal programs; increase their opportunities

to interact in the community; and provide them with a multi-purposecenter that fosters mental, physical, social and nutritional well-

being in awholesomeenvironment.

Silverthorneis a privatenon-profitcenter locatedon thecampus ofSalemhavenNursing

Home. Silverthorne is committed to being the provider of choiceby setting the standard for excellence in regards to service andclinical care for seniors and their family members. Silverthorne islicensed through the Department of Health and Human Services as amedical adult day program. As a licensed program through DHHS,Silverthorne is required to have medical staff on duty. This includesa registered nurse, as well as licensed nurse aides. Silverthorne isalso staffed with activity personnel and a social worker. With all thetrained, educated staff on site, Silverthorne is able to care for seniorswith cognitive and physical ailments, all the while, offering support tofamily members as well. This is the main difference between the twocenters. Salem Senior Services does not have the staff to offer directassistance that may be needed to those seniors with various diagnosesor limitations, for example, strokes, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson, etc. Ifassistance with activities of daily living is needed, then staff at themedical day center is available to provide this necessary care but staffat the senior center is not able.

Salem Senior Center is open to seniors 60 years of age or older whoare fully capable of taking care of themselves. Silverthorne is licensedto care for individuals 18 years or older.

Both centers are open Monday through Friday. Silverthorne isopen 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and the Senior Center is open Monday throughThursday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Fridays from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30p.m.

Both centers offer socialization, which is essential in maintaininga good quality of life. At the Ingram Center, certified instructors and/ or trained volunteers lead the more than 200 exercise, education andwellness program options. These same types of services are offered

at the medical day through the staff on duty. Lunch is provided byRockingham Nutrition Program at the senior center. A light breakfast,huge lunch provided by Salemhaven Nursing Home and a snack areserved at the medical day center.

For more information about the Senior Center, you can call 890-2190 or visit their website at townofsalemnh.org.

I can be reached at 893-4799 and Silverthorne’s website issilverthorneadultday.org.

“Thumbs up. Your vote makes a difference!The proposed joint safety complex will help

improve safety and protect lives in Salem. TheStrengthen Our Schools board urges you to vote‘yes’ on Article 7 March 10, to help maximize thesecurity of all of our children and citizens.”

“Thumbs up to the new proposed Salem SafetyComplex. Many town residents are unaware ofthe fact that the Central Fire Station as well as theSalem police station on Veteran’s Parkway are bothabout 50 years old and long past being acceptableworkplaces for these professionals to do their

jobs. If you don’t believe this, please stop by oneor both stations and ask for a brief tour of thefacilities: any fireman or police officer there willbe glad to oblige. The new facility would take theplace of the police station and contain brand-newwork installations for both teams. Please vote‘yes’ for the Safety Complex on March 10!”

“Thumbs down on a new safety complex. Weshould pay for the work done on the schools first.Why create another tax increase. I don’t plan onbeing arrested and I really don’t care if the towndoesn’t has the state of the art police station andfire station. The selectman should raise the taxeson the retail buildings they are ones that use thetown services the most. Just look at the policelogs in the paper. My house is old and I wouldlike to have newer things in it but I work withwhat I have. Vote no on question 7. Taxes arehigh enough.”

“Thumbs up to the teachers and staff atSt. Joseph Regional School for organizing awonderful Catholic Schools Week Mass anddinner for the St. Joseph Regional School families!We are thrilled to be part of this community andare so grateful for the outstanding teachers, staff,and well-rounded education our children arereceiving. A top notch option for pre-school,elementary and middle school education righthere in Salem!”

“Thumbs down to Senator Ayotte and SpeakerBoehner. Their support for the war criminalNetanyahu is morally wrong! Gaza is not a freefire zone to empty magazines of US suppliedweapons. The West Bank is not a free fire

zone for Israeli militants to kill and dispossessArabs. Israeli nuclear weapons are immoral anddestabilizing in the world. Israel is a war criminalstate lead by Netanyahu a war criminal. Shameon Ayotte and Boehner.”

“Thumbs up the Jerry Rekart for staying focusedon the education of our children.”

“Thumbs up. Two thumbs up to theMaintenance Crew, of the Salem HousingAuthority. They have worked relentlessly duringall of the latest snowstorms, to ensure that theresidents at Telfer Circle were safe, plowedand shoveled out. They also ensured that ourcars were cleaned off, that we were able toleave our community and not be ‘stuck’ in ourhomes, for more than 6-8 hours. There are nowords to express the gratitude felt for these ‘finegentlemen’, and a ‘special thanks’ to Kevin. TheHousing Authority should be ‘very proud.’ Thankyou from the bottom of our hearts.”

“Thumbs up to U.S. Citizens. Freed slaves andforeigners asking to come into this country. Mybirth certificate doesn’t say U.S. Citizen. I’m aState citizen, not a federal citizen. So why do I

pay federal income tax if I’m not a federal U.S.Citizen? Voluntary compliance. Once you agreeby signing their forms, you volunteer. I don’tspeak legalese.”

“Thumbs down To the Safety Complex. Doesthe town know that the Police Officers weredenied being given a raise? These men andwomen risk their life every day that they goto work. They work hard, sacrifice their time,

sacrifice family time, put on a bullet proof vestevery day. In their line of work, they put their

life on the line every day. To be denied given araise in unacceptable. They were denied beinggiven a raise because the Selectmen feel thathaving a new Work Place/Safety Complex is moreimportant than them being given a raise. Beforethe Safety Complex is approved ... you need toapprove a raise for the Police Officers. They willbe the ones working in the complex, they will bethe ones putting their lives on the line every day,and they will be the ones protecting the streets ofSalem.”

“Thumbs down. Last week it was illegal todump snow in the harbor. Today it’s legal. Nextweek it’s illegal again. They could change allthe Codes and Statutes at midnight. I could careless. I’m not a member of their legal society. Idon’t have to follow their copywrited Codes

and Statutes. I’m not a Codedecipherer. I’m not required toknow their Codes.”

“Thumbs down to RepBelanger who can’t seem tofind his way to Concord thesedays. You want to sit around asandwich shop all day gossipingand conspiring, fine, but youwere elected to represent us inConcord. Can’t vote and be partof the process from LawrenceRD Salem.”

“Thumbs down to SelectmanStephen Campbell forproclaiming that the SafetyComplex committee comprisesof no ‘private citizens’. Forsomeone who, in one minuteis a ‘Selectman’ and the nexta ‘private citizen,’ this seemsawfully hypocritical.”

“Thumbs up to everyone,‘private’ or ‘public’, whoserved on the Safety Complexexploratory committee and/ or the Salem Safety Now teamfor giving up their ‘personal’time to work towards makingthis project a reality. Everyoneknows it is sorely needed; it’s

just that some people willing tohelp more than just themselves.”

“Thumbs down. The townof Salem, plow operators wintwo awards so far this month.Award number one - last place for plowing. Mystreet is still a sheet of ice. Poor plowing and nosand or salting on the road. Award number two -First place for knocking down mail boxes. On mystreet they knocked over five and damaged one.

I’ve seen others knocked down on School Streetand on Dyer Ave. I understand the post office hassaid that there are over 200 mail boxes that havebeen knocked over.”

“Thumbs down to this ‘global-warming’ and all the snow itbrings. It’s getting really old.Make it stop Al Gore, make itstop!”

“Thumbs up. I want to thankmy fellow residents in Salemfor helping by clearing the firehydrants. If you could take thetime to make sure the openspace around the hydrant is atleast 3 feet wide that will giveour fire fighters a better chanceto help us. Just shoveling asmall path to the hydrant still

leaves the task of clearingenough snow to make access quicker, to thefiremen, and will waste valuable time. Again,thank you for your efforts during this unbelievablewinter.”

“Thumbs down to State Rep. Gary Azarian.His Letter to the Editor in the last edition of thePatriot about Governor Hassan attacking nursinghome funding was correct. But then he says weneed to find alternatives. Rep. Azarian has beena State Representative for three years (minus theyear he resigned from office). Why hasn’t he doneanything about the problem? Less pontificatingand more solutions. He hasn’t filed a single bill inConcord!”

“Thumbs down to Gov. Maggie Hassan! Herproposed billion dollar spending increase andreckless tax increases demonstrate her lackof commitment to New Hampshire’s fiscally

responsible values. The governor’s budget isthe wrong approach, and it will threaten NewHampshire’s fiscal integrity.”

“Thumbs down to Governor Hassan forabandoning Rockingham Park. She is nowsupporting Keno instead of expanded gamingwhich would save Rockingham Park. Shame onher and every person in Salem who voted for her.Hassan could not care less about Salem.”

“Thumbs up to Sen. Kelly Ayotte for hostingTown Hall meetings and for constantly holding

open hours in the Salem for constituents toget their issues addressed. Unlike Sen. JeanneShaheen who hides from her constituents, SenatorAyotte gets things done for Salem.”

“Thumbs down. Thumbs way down toDemocrat Governor Maggie Hassan for raisingthe motor vehicle registration fee by 35%. This isthe last thing we need after she just raised the gastax last year. People are hurting and these kindsof tax increases are killing us. The Democrats aredestroying NH.”

“Thumbs up to all the snow.Perhaps a roof collapse at thepolice or fire station will beenough to urge the group ofobstructionists to stop beingdetrimental to our town andsupport a project which is wayoverdue. Only the uneducated

voter would believe they aresaving taxpayers money whenin fact they are delaying neededprojects which only cost more inthe future.”

“Thumbs down to GaryAzarian. His time as Chairmanof the Zoning Board ofAdjustment has been marked by the harassmentand destruction of small businesses in town.Unless you are friends with him or contributemoney for him to buy campaign signs for him, he

has no respect or regard for your hard work andbusiness.”

“Thumbs down to the pompous andpresumptuous supporters of the Public SafetyComplex. Stop lecturing everyone on what

citizens can and cannot afford. You have neverwalked in the shoes of the people in Salem whoare struggling to pay their taxes. We have notyet started to pay for the SalemHigh School renovation projectand they want to add anotherexpensive project on the backsof taxpayers. Stop the war onthe poor in Salem!”

“Thumbs down to the SalemSchool Committee for hijackingthe Deliberative Session andadding $400,000 worth of fatand waste back into their budgetafter the Budget Committeecut it out. The School Boardis a bunch of complainers andclueless do-gooders who haveabsolutely no regard for taxpayers. We need tovote these huge spenders out of office, starting

with Pam Berry. I will not support any furtherrenovations or building plans in the future withoutsome budgetary compromise.”

“Thumbs up to Kelly Ayotte for fighting forGranite State Veterans.”

“Thumbs down Salem spends money like wecome from across the border. Don’t believe allthat you see. The police have a few wires hangingaround a few desks. Smarten up. We don’t needto spend any more money.”

“Thumbs down to whatever government agencydecides where the USPS pick up boxes are aroundthe town of Salem. The one in front of SantanderBank is extremely inconvenient to get to. It’s alsounsafe. I can’t imagine that mail carriers everactually pick anything up there because it is sounsafe. Can’t you figure out a better place to putthis mailbox?”

“Thumbs up. Salem Town Workers who havedone an excellent job plowing and sanding. Ihave one request, that the snow piles at thecorners be reduced because it’s very dangerousand cannot see the traffic coming.”

“Thumbs down to developers who knockeddown a 100 year old farmhouse and barn and cutdown all the oxygen breathing trees and fields

to make their wallets fat. Thumbs down to theprocess that allows a part of Salem’s history to be

destroyed.”

“Thumbs down to Salem DPW. Our roads areterrible. We live out by the lake and have yet tosee a town truck plow our road. Only two guysin pickups with plows attached to the front andthey’ve done a terrible job. The road is not wideenough for two cars to pass. One must pull intosomeone’s driveway so the other can pass. Thereis still inches of snow on the road to make sureyou slip and slide. They’ve done a terrible jobfrom the very first storm. I can’t believe that weare paying hard earned tax dollars and our roads

are horrifying.”

“Thumbs down. I live in Salem for 80 years,born and raised here. The cost of my waterbill is enough to choke a horse. My electricbill, fuel and registration fees are all enough tochoke a team of horses. Now they want to putin a public safety building. If they don’t likewhere they’re working then they can quit and gowork somewhere else. They’re taking my entirepension, it’s unbelievable.”

“Thumbs up to Salem Police officers DeFeudis

and Pappalardo. During the latest blizzard, Iaccidentally locked my keys in truck while it wasrunning. These Salem officers responded to mycall for help with professionalism and quicklyunlocked my vehicle saving my much time andmoney. Thanks!”

“Thumbs down to ALEC, the Republican ownedlobby, which is pressuring state legislaturesincluding the NH legislature to ban cities fromoffering broadband internet access. Nearly 20states already have laws stopping cities fromproviding fast, free, publicly-owned internetaccess. Think about not having to pay Comcastor FairPoint for Internet! ALEC is pressuringRepublican legislators to put up a bill in NHlegislature stopping NH cities and towns fromhaving publicly-owned internet access.”

“Thumbs up to the Town of Salem for finallyrising above the naysayers and moving forward

with projects! First the schools, now a safetycomplex. I love being part of a contemporarycommuni ty. Way to go Salem!”

“Thumbs down to those who are holding usback. Salem does not need politicians like Steve

Campbell who says no to everything. We needprogressive thinkers who want to move this townforward. I think people are starting to figure outthat we spend more money in the long run whenwe defer infrastructure.”

“Thumbs down to Steve Campbell. He’snothing but a bully. He whines like a petulantchild when he doesn’t get his way. Now he wantsto do a TV show on why people should vote noon things? What an ego he has. I can’t wait forhim to be voted out of office so we can put bright,imaginative professionals on the board.”

“Thumbs down to James Keller for the $23million boondoggle scheme for the safetycomplex. $23 million and three times the spacethat the fire/police currently use. I am no longersupporting him because of this.”
