by S. Aaron ShamshoyanWeve had a history of water breaks in the recent past, Town

Manager Keith Hickey told Salem Selectmen Monday, seeking toconduct a water pipe integrity testing program.

The proposal would aggregate data from the town into a master

plan, helping to focus work efforts on deteriorated water mains.Lets figure out which pipes really are old and need to be

replaced, said Richard Davee, senior vice president of the Wright-Pierce Water Group. A lot of your pipe is cast iron pipe.

Davee said some pipes in the system are over 100 years old, but

have no problems. He said it was important to assess condition andnot base a replacement strategy on just age.

The model would guide the town as to which pipes may fail, andshould be looked into further. It also takes in to account whereroadwork is slated to be done to determine where to concentratereplacement efforts.

Davee said once a problem spot is identified within the model,further testing can be done to fully understand the condition of thewater main.

Non-destructive testing involves running sound waves through thepipe to assess condition, while further, destructive testing involvescutting a sample out of the main and performing a visual inspectionand crush test in a lab.

Davee said the town is currently unaware of what percentage ofwater main could have problems.

The primary reason for a hydraulic model is to figure out whereyour critical pipes are, he said.

The proposal comes on the heels of multiple highly visible water

submitted by Maria JacobsBorn on December 11, 1914, in Uruguay, Maria

Ortiz was one of 14 children, the daughter of aprominent farmer; she lost her mother at an earlyage. In her 20s, Maria was swept of her feet andlater married U.S. Merchant Marine FredrickLaird who was stationed in Brazil at the time.They married and together moved to the statesin the early 1940s. They settled in Lawrence,Mass., had five children together, and eventuallylanded for good in Salem in the mid-1960s.

Now, Maria is the first of four generationsof Marias, the youngest being her 20-month-old great-granddaughter. The matriarch of the

family, she has 15 grandchildren and 26 great-grandchildren.

Maria was an avid dancer from an earlyage, attending dinner and dance clubs back inUruguay, and then bringing her love of dance tothe states and passing it along to many membersof the family over the years.

Maria and Fredricks home in Salem was often aspot for gathering and backyard barbecues, and tothis day, members of the community fondly recallMarias presence in the neighborhood. She is a

natural in social environments and lights up withthe opportunity to be with others and share hermany stories of her childhood and daily life.

When not hosting or raising a family, Maria

has loved to garden, cook, and shop in town withfamily and friends. She is still active, spendingtime with loved ones, tending to her home,and even making occasional trips to Foxwoodswith family. Shes held many jobs and, at times,worked virtually all hours that she wasnt takingcare of family. She worked as a fabric spinner inthe Malden Mills in Lawrence, Mass., cleanedthe rectory at St. Matthews Parish in Windham,and, for years, cleaned at Interstate Gymnastics inMethuen, Mass., up until she was 95!

If you were to ask her what is her secret tolongevity? she would likely not respond bysaying that its all in Gods hands, but also say that

keeping active in any way is so important even ona small scale. Or in her words, you gotta get upand keep movin!

This past Saturday, roughly 100 family andfriends attended Nanas 100th birthday party, afitting celebration of a wonderful strong womanand her beautiful and inspiring life!

baskets to be distributed into the community. Nick Czifrik, one ofthe clubs charter members, has been heading up this project formany years. The Rotary thanks its many supporters including MarketBasket and all of the volunteers who make this project a success.For information on the Greater Salem Rotary Club visit www.salemnhrotary.org.

submitted by Larry BelairThe Knights of Columbus, Bishop Peterson Council 4442, has

finished up their 2014 charitable works calendar with a numberof donations to others in need. The council has made donationsof over $120,000 to approximately 45 charitable, religious andneedy causes. Over the past two years, the council has been able

to raise and donate nearly $258,000 back to the community.Grand Knight Bill Richards of the local council serving the

Catholic fraternal needs of Saints Mary and Joseph Parish said,We are fortunate to be able to raise enough money each yearto help out in many places, both in the Greater Salem area andin other parts of the region. Helping to expand our Catholicfaith through the practice of charitable giving is a fundamentalcommitment of the Knights of Columbus.

This year we have been able to provide funds to manyCatholic groups including our two churches, Catholic Charities,our food pantry, St. Josephs Regional School, pregnancy carecenters and Family Promise. And, in addition to partiallyfunding the parish picnic each year, many of my Brother Knights

volunteer as cooks, servers and set-up workers for the event. AsKnights and parishioners, they look forward to participating eachyear. We also provide monetary assistance to seminarians onwhom the future of our faith relies.

Our helping goes well beyond our parochial community, saidRichards, (by)helping out our community with donations to theSalem Boys & Girls Club, Play Among the Stars, Relay for Life,Lazarus House, the Jimmy Fund, the Kidney Fund, Cub Scouts,the annual free Christmas Dinner program and the Christmasparade.

According to Alan Phair, a past grand knight of the counciland current chairman of the Salem Christmas Fund said, Thecontributions of time, money and talent to the Christmas Fund areenormous. Without the help from the Knights and their wives,its doubtful that we could accomplish even a small amount ofwhat we are able to do for those in need at Christmas time. TheKnights never ask for any thanks. The joy of helping others makestheir own Christmas much brighter and Im grateful for theirsupport and others from the Salem community.

Another major program for the Knights is the Annual TootsieDrive that raises about $12,000 each year. The money raisedin this drive benefits programs that are designed for intellectuallychallenged adults and children such as Play among the Stars,Camp Fatima Special Olympics and the Kimi Nichols Center,explained Tootsie Roll Drive Chairman Gene Bryant. Its one ofour most gratifying council efforts.

Again this year, as they did in 2013, the council purchased 800

childrens coats for kids from the Greater Salem area, includingsome from Methuen and Lawrence, Mass. Keeping childrenwarm and fed during the winter is an especially gratifying taskthat we enjoy doing, said Richards. Added to this list of majordonations is another 12 to 15 needy causes that we support. Aslong as we have those in need with us, the more we try to help.

For more information, contact Larry Belair, 560-7500; BillRichards, 893-1836; or Bob Fournier.

by Bob GibbsWith all of the news that we see in the papers, on the radio and

the TV you would think that there is nothing good happening in theworld these days. However, just looking at the donations made tothe Toys for Tots in Salem alone will give you hope.

The Salem Police Department collected enough donations to filla storefront with toys, games, and sporting equipment. Chief PaulDonavon stated that somany toys were donatedat the Salem PD dropoff box that his officers

often made two or threetrips a day to the storagelocation. The policedepartment drop off boxhad more than 5,000 toysdonated.

Boxes were also filled atthe Salem Fire Departmentand several otherlocations around Salem.

Along with the Toysfor Tots donations,over 300 winter coatswere purchased by theCoats for Kids programsponsored by the Knightsof Columbus, Bishop Peterson Council 4442 of Salem.

In addition, the Salem Christmas Fund was involved in raisingmoney, donations, toys and clothes. This effort was led by Alan J.Phair, Chairman; Sharon Woitkiewicz, Vice Chairman; Sally Sweet,Program Coordinator; Irene Martin, Treasurer; Board members Fred

Doucette, Chris Dillion, Mike Delahanty, Dick OShaughnessy, andPaul Donovan.

The Salem Christmas Fund also gathered gifts for the residentsof Salemhaven. The personal shopper, Linda M., from Macysin Salem has assisted in this effort for the past three years. TheSalem Christmas Fund Board also wishes to thank the highwaydepartment for their assistance.

The toys, clothes and other donated items were issued to needyfamilies that had been screened and verified by local church andcharitable organizations. Parents of these children were eachallowed to pick out items for their children, while being assisted byvolunteer elves that who explained what the families were eligibleto receive.

Along with these items, families were given the opportunity tosign their children up for a free membership to the Salem Boys &Girls Club and a $75 food voucher for Market Basket.

All in all, the programs assisted more than 100 families and over300 kids, 32 seniors, and 110 residents of Salemhaven. Some ofthe items that were not distributed in Salem went to Toys for Totsdistribution centers in Manchester. The remaining toys will be usedto jump-start next years supply of Toys for Tots.

Team participates in the annual Salemfestactivities every year. In addition to providing freetraining on emergency preparedness and handing

out safety literature, they also provide free raffletickets for various gifts.

At the Salemfest activities in September 2014,one of the free raffle gifts was a smoke detectorthat was won by young Sophia Kelly of Salem.But that family recently had some bad news:storm damage on Thanksgiving pulled electricalservice wires away from their home that resultedin a fire that did considerable damage. But therewas some good news: They had installed thesmoke detector they received from CERT. Thealarm went off, everyone was evacuated from the

house, and no one was injured. Now, six weekslater, they are almost ready to move back home.

When the CERT group heard about the smokealarm warning, they were pleased and proud toknow that their activities had really helped a local

family, even though the team had not actuallybeen activated for any emergency. Now they aremore energized to continue their efforts to helpprovide resources and to educate residents foremergency preparedness.

Editors Note: Due to the recent publicity in both Hillsborough and Rockinghamcounties, Deacon Costellos letter seems important for everyone to read.

An Unsettling Number of Early DeathsA brief search of recent obituaries shows an increasing number of deaths

mentioned as died suddenly or died unexpectedly. In ten minutes ofsearching the obituaries in the local newspapers, I found this true of thedeaths of William, Randall, Alyssa, Wesley, Don, Richard, Brian, Michael,Ross, Shawn, Christine, Messiah and Steven (all of whom were not yet 40years old). I realize that not all of these were suicides or drug-related deaths,but I know personally that these numbers are increasing. RockinghamCounty had one of the highest numbers of deaths in the State due to drugoverdose or due to the taking of tainted drugs in the past year.

Nothing is more tragic than the death of a young person with most of herlife ahead of her. Not only is it devastatingly painful to the family but sucha loss to the community of talent and potential. Tat person, had he knownhis worth and potential, might have changed our world in a significant way.

Communities in Southern New Hampshire have gathered together peoplefrom the usual human service agencies to address the problem and, in mostcases, have emphasized the need for stricter drug enforcement measuresor more counseling opportunities for those with depression issues. Tesemight help but I believe that the solution lies within the persons who areconsidering the use of drugs in their lives. Something needs to convince

these young people from the time they are very young that they are veryspecial; that they have been placed in this world for a very specific purpose;that their lives have worth and meaning. If they become convinced of this,there is no way that they would jeopardize their lives by taking the poison ofdrugs into themselves.

So parents this is your role and responsibility in the forming of that visionwithin our young children. Make sure that they know and are convincedthat they were made by an awesome, loving, nurturing Being Who has aspecific plan for their lives. Spend as much time with them as it takes forthem to know that Being personally and deeply. As a Christian, I believethat that Being made it possible in Jesus, the Christ. He came, died, and

was raised to make it possible and our childrens lives depend on theirreceiving this gift; the gift that sets th em free from all confusion, self-hatredand despair that fights to rule their lives. Teir future depends on it!

Seniors reated to Incredible FeastOn behalf of our Seniors, I want to extend our sincere and tremendous

appreciation to the Salem Firefighters Relief Association for their enormousgenerosity in serving delicious fare, special treatment and great fun! OnMonday, December 15, nearly 300 Seniors attended the 28th Anniversary ofthis fabulous event!

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. Its been the talk of the Centerwith compliments and rave reviews abounding.

Te Seniors were served an incredible holiday feast of salad, home-cookedpasta, meatballs and dessert by the most delightful and happy elves. Morethan thirty firefighters, family members and friends volunteered their timeand talents to make this wonderful day possible. Tey did all the shopping,prepping, cooking, serving and cleaning themselves.

In honor of the Salem Firefighters, each Senior brought a donation ofa food item for Salems Food for the Hungry Pantry. Tis resulted inhundreds of items filling the shelves of the Pleasant Street Church pantry,which provides assistance to more than 60 Salem families in need.

Special thanks also go to Jim Koczat, who volunteered to play the pianoand enhance the holiday party atmosphere.

Our best wishes to all for a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!

Patricia M. Drelick, Director, Salem Senior Services, Salem

Te Holiday Season is Really Year RoundTumbs up to Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, New Years Eve and day,

along with all the rest of these joyous holidays and rituals most of us practice

every year (even Festivus, for the Seinfeld crowd!). From Christmas treesand church services to menorahs and an extra glass of eggnog, for all thosefortunate enough to appreciate it, now should be a time of remembering

how lucky we are to be living in America with all its many greatnesses alongwith all the warts, as opposed to the habitants of so many other places onthe planet that lack the freedoms that we often take as our birthright. Itshould also be a time for thinking about offering a helping hand to thosearound us who are suffering personal, economic or spiritual losses that areespecially painful during this time when most of us feel almost duty-boundto be continuously cheerful.

Maybe this would entail plunking an extra $5 into the next SalvationArmy kettle you see, or sending a check to southern New Hampshires greatlocal homeless charity Isaiah 58. A compassionate phone call to a friendor acquaintance that mightve had a tough year might be just the thing togive her a respite from another depressing day. Or possibly adding onemore gift next December on your Christmas list to someone who you dontnormally exchange presents with would become the beginning of a newrelationship. Or maybe even realizing allof the above, along with whateverother altruistic deeds you can come up with for extra credit, as well as forall the felicity that performing these a cts of goodwill would spread to thebeneficiaries as well as yourself.

Tis little reminder is coming out around the bittersweet time when mostof these annual festivities are winding down for another year. But no matter:the main point is that these are all actions that we can practice year-round,

and dont have to be confined to the Holiday Season, when everywhere wego were reminded of the events we are celebrating, along with all the stuffwere supposed to be buying. And as we get into the cold and snowy nextcouple of months and fight our way through to another thawing springand sun-filled summer we can keep this attitude of giving back as well asreceiving going strong, whether or not weve got a department store Santa orChristmas jewelry V commercial nudging us.

A belated Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of you!

submitted by Lieutenant Joel P.Dolan, Salem Police Department

On Tuesday, Jan. 6, atapproximately 3:45 p.m., a SalemPolice officer placed his patrol rifle,which was stored in a black canvascarrying bag, on the trunk of hiscruiser while he prepared his cruiserfor duty. The officer did not secure

his rifle in the trunk of the cruiserprior to driving out of the policestation parking lot.

The officer was dispatched toseveral calls after leaving the parking lot andbelieves the bag containing the rifle fell off of thetrunk as he left the parking lot. He did not noticethe rifle was lost until the end of his shift, whichwas approximately 11:45 p.m. Upon realizing hedid not have his rifle, he immediately notified hissupervisors and an extensive search began.

At this time we believe the rifle may have fallenoff somewhere in the area of Veterans MemorialParkway through the Depot area or around theHoward Street block as this is the first area wherethe officer responded to calls for service. The areahas been searched extensively, and we continue touse all available resources at this time to recoverthe rifle.

We also believe the bag may have been pickedup by a person whom may not know what to

do with the rifle. We are asking that the GoodSamaritan to return the rifle to the Salem PoliceDepartment or call 893-1911 and we will pick itup with no questions asked. If the person doesnot feel comfortable with turning it into the policedepartment they can turn it in at a local gun shop,or any other safe place to ensure its safe return.

The rifle is described as a Colt M4 Commando5.56mm semi-automatic only patrol carbine withan 11.5 inch barrel. Of significance is the barrellength which makes this rifle a Short BarreledRifle as classified by the Bureau of Alcohol,Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. There aresevere penalties for possessing this weaponwithout the express approval granted by theBATFE. The rifle will also have the lower receiverstamped with Restricted Government/LawEnforcement/Export Use Only.

We fully understand the significant publicsafety risk posed by the loss of this rifle. This isundoubtedly a failure to follow established policyand procedures. We are embarrassed as anagency, and no one feels worse than the officerwho lost the bag. We will conduct an internalinvestigation into the matter as well as review ourpractices to ensure that this event does not occuragain.

At press time, Salem Police reported that therifle bag and all of its contents, including the rifle,had been turned into the police department by aGood Samaritan who saw the information in thenews.

Operation Teddy BearComes to Salemhaven

submitted by Teri Desrosiers, Salem Dance NetworkSince November, the Salem Dance Network Company Kids have

been collecting teddy bears and other stuffed animals. They have beendecorating them with bows and gift cards. On Tuesday, Dec. 23 at6 p.m., they were distributed to the residents of Salemhaven NursingHome. The residents filled out the gift tag and gave it to a loved one forChristmas, or kept it for themselves. Thus far, the kids have collected110 stuffed animals!

The Salem Dance Network Company Kids did this a few years back.

The residents showed their appreciation in many different ways. Somecried happy tears because they would have something to give theirgrandchild because they couldnt get out much anymore. Some tookto the plush pal as if it were their pet from years ago, gently petting andcaressing it. It was a very moving experience.

One gentleman in a wheelchair did not want a stuffed animal. Hekindly put his hand up and shook his head no when offered one. Hebeing the only one without a bear, was offered one by many differentSDN students. Each time he politely refused. It was time to leave and,only one stuffed animal remained: a fish. On the way out the door, Iquickly put the fish on his lap, and gave him a kiss on the cheek. As Iturned to run out the door (before he could throw it at me) I heard himsay thank you! Phew!

Rep. AbramsonRemoved from HouseCriminal Justice and

Public Safety Committeesubmitted by Jim Rivers, Director of Communications,NH House of Representatives

Speaker of the New Hampshire House Shawn Jasper announcedthat Rep. Albert Max Abramson (R-Seabrook) will be reassigned to adifferent House standing committee. The voters of Rockingham County,District 20, elected Rep. Abramson to his first term in the House inNovember 2014. Following organization day, he requested and wasplaced on the Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee, but whena felony conviction was recently brought to the attention of Houseleadership, the decision was made to reassign the first-term legislator.

Once we did our due diligence and saw the facts, I felt that it wasinappropriate for Rep. Abramson to serve on the Criminal Justice andPublic Safety committee, given the nature of his conviction, saidSpeaker Jasper. Once I have had the opportunity to speak directly withRep. Abramson, he will be reassigned to a different committee.

Looking ahead to specialized care in 2015

Happy New Year! In 2014, we focused our newspaper

communication on educating the community about

Merrimack Valley Hospice House in Haverhill and our

Compassionate Journeycampaign to raise the funds for a

new seven-suite wing expansion. Im pleased and grateful

to report that the goal of raising two million dollars was met.

With the generosity of so many, we are continuing the

journey as we offer support to patients and families in need

of this advanced level of end-of-life care well into the future.

For more than five years, Merrimack Valley Hospice House

has provided care for patients with advancing illness who

need symptom management beyond what can be delivered

at home. Now, the new wing provides an additional type of

care, in response to an identified community need. Its been

designed to meet the level of care required by patients with

cancer, end stage lung disease and end stage heart disease

illnesses with increasing complex challenges as they

progress. A team of professionals provides extended care

and supportive services to patients, as well as their families

who are dealing with the challenges of these complex

illnesses. Here, a patients pain and symptom management

is controlled and the need for hospitalization is eliminated

both acute and non-acute care is provided at Merrimack

Valley Hospice House.

For a brochure describing all services of Merrimack Valley

Hospice including the new options available at the Hospice

House, please call 978-552-4186.

Moving ahead in 2015, I look forward to sharing a variety

of home health and hospice topics of interest and importance

to your health, safety and security. I hope youll follow

along. Until next time.

Busy New Years for Police

NH Petsave Launches Educational Initiativefor Prospective Owners

New Rotarian Inducted

It is a Vital Discussion

as Parents Ageby Paula Faist MS, LSW, Silverthorne Adult Day Center

I saw my parents over the holidays and all of a sudden they lookedold to me. I was wondering if you have any thoughts on how to beginthe aging discussion with them?Tim, Salem

It is so good of you, and for you, to be proactive with your thinkingand actions when it comes to helping aging parents. The NationalAlliance for Caregiving states that todays adults in their 40s and 50srepresent the first generation who will be likely to spend more yearshelping their parents than taking care of their children. In nearly onein four U.S. households, there is someone caring for an elderly relativeor friend.

You are correct in wanting to begin a discussion with them. Youwill want to do this when you are relaxed and have time to sit andlisten. Try to remember that communication involves watching theirbody language, listening, hearing, and understanding what is said orin some cases what is not said. It is not easy to open a dialogue withyour parents about their personal issues, but the following questionsmay help you get the discussion flowing.

Where do they hope to live as they age? What health issues dothey have? What medicines are they on? What are their financialarrangements? Do they have a will and a durable power of attorneyfor health care? Are they still able to drive? Are they involved withany community services? Once you have had the discussion andhave some answers to your questions the next step is to share theinformation. You will want to set up a meeting with your family,siblings, etc., ... to review the information you have collected. Morequestions will arise and it is better to ask your parents these questionsthan assume you now know how they would answer. Hopefully, thequestions listed above will be a good start for your talk with yourparents. You may also want to call ServiceLink at 893-9769 to havesome questions answered or to gather some information on servicesfor seniors.

Paula Faist, MS, LSW, is president of the NH Adult Day ServicesAssociation and program director of Silverthorne Adult Day Center.Please continue sending questions to [email protected].

submitted by D.J. Bettencourt, Salem Animal Rescue LeagueNew Hampshire veterinarians and animal shelter professionals

have partnered on a statewide public awareness campaign to

educate the public about what they should know before bringinghome a new pet.The NH Veterinary Medical Association is proud to be part of

the NH PetSave initiative. As caregivers to New Hampshires pets,we share in the heartbreak that families feel when their new pethas health or behavior problems and hope that PetSaves messagewill educate people on what questions to ask before acquiring anew pet, said Brenda Stowe, DVM and representative of the NHVeterinary Medical Association.

The campaign urges those who are considering a new petto get answers to three questions before spending any money.The questions come from a 2013 article published by NH StateVeterinarian Stephen Crawford, DVM. Educated prospective petowners should pose three questions: 1) Is the organization listingthe pet licensed by the state of NH, another state or the USDA? 2)Does the pet come with health protections such as vaccinationsand a health certificate? 3) Can you meet the pet before spendingany money?

In the past ten years there has been a proliferation of internet-

based pet browsing and buying which has in turn created multiplechallenges in the states pet community with expensive andsometimes heartbreaking consequences for New Hampshire pet

owners. We are very excited about this campaign, stated PaulaMattis, President of the NH Federation of Humane Organizations,and partnering with the NH Veterinary Medical Association.My hope is that we can make the Granite State an even morecompassionate place for people and pets.

The takeaway message, simply put, encourages those lookingfor a new pet to be sure they know who they are dealing with andthat they know the history of the animal they wish to bring intotheir home. We believe the best option for individuals who needto surrender their animals or are looking to adopt is the use ofservices of licensed and trusted animal rescues. This campaign isextremely important in assisting the public in the decision-makingprocess when adopting a pet, said D.J. Bettencourt, director ofDevelopment and Community Relations at the Salem AnimalRescue League and member of the Board of Directors of the NHFederation of Humane Societies.

Owning a pet is a lifetime commitment; research before leapingin to pet ownership is the best approach. To learn more about NHPetSave, go to www.NHPetSave.com.

by Bob GibbsThe current Salem police station was approved

by the voters of Salem in 1963 with a budget of$80,000 to build and equip the building and thepolice department. At the time, the departmenthad only a few officers to police a town of morethan 24 square miles.

Now the police department is comprised of 96full- and part-time employees. The departmentis made up of one chief, one deputy chief, onecaptain, six lieutenants, seven sergeants, 45

full-time officers, 10 dispatchers, seven full-timecivilian employees, 18 part-time officers and twoK-9 officers. Today the towns population is closeto 30,000 residents with thousands of peoplecoming to town daily to work, shop and play.

Currently, the police station and its seven outbuildings have maximized the available footprintthat is available. Much of the area surroundingthe property is made up ofwetlands. Buildings not seenfrom the street include thekennel, a fenced-in impoundarea, storage buildings forthe police motorcycles,winter/summer equipment,motor vehicle spare parts,traffic control equipment andthe special operations unit(SWAT). There is also a rentpod unit used for recordsstorage and a climate

controlled-unit used forevidence storage.

As you arrive at the SalemPolice Station, you can seethat the building is in needof maintenance simply byviewing the outside of thebuilding. The concretesidewalks are cracked withweeds coming through thecracks, bare light bulbs arevisible, there is peeling paintand what appears to be anold hanger for a cigaretteor trash receptacle. Thelandscaping around thebuilding is mainly crabgrass and uncared forshrubs. Also, security for the front of the buildingis non-existent.

Entering the building, the entrance hall is dark,with old and dirty carpet; there is no buzzer or

bell of any kind for you to notify the dispatcherthat you are there. There is a bare wire hangingfrom the wall. This may have been a bell to therecords department. This bell has not been usedin many years.

A view of the dispatchers office showsthe room to be very crowded with all of thecommunication equipment a modern policedepartment requires. Several dispatchers andofficers must work in this crowded area. Theraised floor panels are worn and the paint on thewalls is chipped.

Further into the station as you travel downthe narrow hallways, you can enter the officerswork area. This room, which was formerly ashower room, has a small drain in the middleof the floor. The donated air conditioner in thewindow does not fit the window so that air fromthe outside enters the room. The worktables areworn and wires come down from the ceiling tothe computers used by the officers.

Heading down the hall to the roll call room,you will see that there is recent water damage tothe rugs in the area. The rooms where people areinterviewed and questioned have no privacy orsecurity. Signs need to be placed in the hallwaysduring interviews, so that the recording equipmentdoes not pick up the sounds that come from thesehallways.

The squad room is a small room with tablesand chairs for 18 people. At a recent promotionceremony, most of the attendees had to stand.A storage shelf has broken blinds in front ofit. Off the roll call room is the electronics andcommunications room. This room has circuitbreakers and telecommunications equipment forthe entire building. There is no space unused.

Entering the officers break room there isanother hanging wire that seems to go tonowhere. With seating for six officers, it is a verysmall space. The fitness center is crammed with

exercise equipment; once again, every inch ofspace is used. Much of this equipment has beendonated. In the fitness center is the doorway tothe weapons and ammunition closet. Not themost secure area to say the least.

Entering the male officers locker room, youfirst see a water bubbler that by all accounts hasnever worked. The water heater room is used asstorage with makeshift shelving for the officersduty bags; the showers are very narrow with fewshowerheads. The toilet area has broken sheetrock, stall doors that do not close and stall wallsthat are rusted.

The female officers locker room has oneshower stall and one toilet that both need work.Many areas of this very small locker room areused for storage of paper items and cleaningsupplies. Both locker rooms are painted in a 70sshade of pink.

Going into the attic, the first thing you noticeis that there

are wireseverywhere.Years and yearsof adding newtechnology haveaccumulatedmiles of wiring,much of whichmay no longerbe used. Thewiring in theattic just lookslike an electricalfire couldhappen at anytime. Thenthere are themousetraps.

The sergeants

room is congested withcubicles that need to beshared. The honor guarduniforms take up one fulllarge closet. Again, thisarea has wires hanging fromthe ceiling and multipleplugs in outlets. Waterstains can be seen in theceiling throughout theentire building. From thesergeants area, you go intothe detectives squad room.

This doorway has waterdamage on the floor andexposed fiberglass insulationin the ceiling.

The detectives rooms areone of the best areas of thestation. It is comprised ofa triple-wide mobile homethat has been purchasedwith money confiscatedfrom criminals. Many ofthe more recent purchasesof equipment in the stationhave been purchased withdrug forfeiture money. This

large room was used for ameeting with Senator Jeanne Shaheen to discussthe heroin issue. The senator was brought in bya side door directly into the detectives room.This was done, perhaps to not embarrass thedepartment staff and the town.

Much of the upkeep in the station and theinstallation of new equipment, such as evidencelockers, has been done by the Salem officers

themselves. Unlike other town-owned buildingsthere is no maintenance staff of the station, onlya nightly custodian. Many of the officers havecarpentry, plumbing, and electrical skills.

Entering the booking area, which hasfingerprinting and photography equipment,there is one metal bench for an arrested personto be secured onto. The equipment would bevulnerable to damage should a prisoner get outof control. Small lockers that are used to securebelongings show signs of being pried open.

The cell area is very small with a narrow hall;a trouble area for officers should an arrest getout of control. The young offender and femaleprisoner cells are adjoining. One of the cells hasbeen converted to storage for records and papers.The bars in front of the cells are outdated and areconsidered a suicide risk.

Leaving the booking area you can enter thegarage. This garage is where officers woulddrive into in order to bring prisoners to booking.This area is your typical garage. With cleaningequipment and other items that could bedangerous to officers. Additionally, there is adrain in the floor here that does not work.

The impound area is nothing more than afenced-in area of the grassy yard. This is where

motor vehicles

would be lockedand secured ifthey were beingheld as evidence.Not very secure.There have beentimes whenpeople wouldwalk through thewoods in hopesof sneaking intotheir vehicles inorder to removeevidence ofcrimes.

Nearby is thekennel area.There is anoutside area for

the dogs to run and play inwith small doors for the animals to enter the mainkennel building. The K-9 handlers have a workarea in this building, but it is not well heated orcooled and partof the area isused as storagefor parts from thepolice cruisers.

Other buildingsinclude agarage barelylarge enough to

hold the policemotorcycles.Another buildingholds all theequipment ofthe SpecialOperationsteam, such asbulletproof jackets,helmets, gloves and other equipment. Althoughthe equipment is well organized, in the case ofan emergency, the room would be very crowdedwith all of the officers attempting to reach theirequipment.

Walking around and examining the mainbuilding obvious signs of age can be seen. Rustedelectrical boxes, splintered wooden shutters, faceboards that have separated, and paint around thewindows that is peeling. Just outside the chiefsoffice is a large emergency generator that wasinstalled just a few years ago.

It has not worked since shortlyafter it was installed.

The towns police station is

located on a heavily traveled road. Some peoplecould say the building is an embarrassment justfrom the outside. On the inside, the building doesnot meet ADA requirements. It does not meet the

requirements that mostpeople would want intheir own workplace. Itcannot meet the growthof the town or of theexpected improvementsin technology. The policestaff has done a wonderful

job making do with what

they have been given.It seems that there is

much blame to go aroundfor the condition of thisbuilding. The police staffcan blame the politicians.The politicians and thepublic can blame the

police. Either way thisbuilding is not in good shape. This buildingis full of expensive communications and lawenforcement equipment that would be lost to thetown in the case of a fire or other disaster. Not tomention that anyone needing to exit the buildingin an emergency would have a difficult time.

Town and school officials encouragereaders to seek out assistance directly to resolve any problems or issues. The Salem Community Patrioteditorial staff holds the right to refuse any comment deemed inappropriate.

Thumbs downto the Townof Salem which is proposing a

$23 million Safety Center...All that money for the solepurpose of building a massiveand unnecessary complex onour dime? Where will themoney come from, highertaxes yet again? They couldgive a few million to the Fireand Police Departments tomake renovations to existingstructures to better serve boththeir departments and the publicwithout bankrupting the Townor raising taxes ... People ofSalem need to get educated onwhat the Town is trying to do!

Thumbs downto KeithHickey and Selectmen who arebringing this Town backward!Taxes go up but services go down. We have a

part-time plumbing inspector, but they plan tospend $65,000 to design a new safety center?$65K of our money for someone to draw abuilding on paper (a building we havent evenvoted on yet)? People need to get educated on thedirection theyre taking the Town! And they wantto spend $23 million-plus for the unnecessarysafety center. That money is better served in ourschools and services. Keith Hickey doesnt evenlive in our Town!

Thumbs up/Thumbs down. Im confused asto what the Town Manager, Keith Hickey, does. Iunderstand we now have an Assistant Manager.Didnt we just avoid rehiring for Sam Zanninisposition when he retired to save money... now wehave Leon the Assistant Manager? Id like to know

what his actual job is. Hes apparently serving asa Chief Building inspector but hes not qualified

for that job! This Town is really in trouble... thanksto Keith (a guy who doesnt even live here andwould be gone now if he got the job he appliedfor last year in another town).

Thumbs down. If you go to the Planning Boardand the Planning Director denies your plan, youcould then go to the Zoning Board Director. ThisTown is currently the only Town that has the sameDirector on both boards. What a colossal conflict

of interest! Salem, we neednew Selectmen that will helpour Town go forward instead ofbackward. Shame on the Boardand the Town Manager! Justone of many problems we arefacing in Salem under the currentadministration. Its time thepeople are made aware of whatshappening in our Town!

Thumbs downto thecommercial truck driver whouses Bluff Street at 5 a.m. all thetime. You are waking people up!You are disturbing peace! Are

you reading this, town officials? Do something.

Thumbs up/Thumbs down. Casella has beencharging its customers a fuel surcharge for yearsnow. With the fuel prices at an all time low whyhavent they eliminated the surcharge?

Thumbs upto the Holidays. Isee lots of traffic stops. Imagineall the revenue the town israking-in with all those violationsfrom Massachusetts drivers.After all, it does go to the town,doesnt it? I mean, police aretown employees. We pay forvehicle maintenance. We

pay the gas. Surely the TownManager isnt letting thosefunds go somewhere else. Thatshould pay for the new proposedmilitary complex in no time.

Thumbs up/Thumbs down.Thumbs up to Obamacare,

thumbs down to Fox News: 8million Americans are gettinghealth insurance they wouldnot otherwise afford. If youthink they are coerced youare wrong. Think about whatyou hear on Fox News. Whenyou pay a health insurancepremium you are receiving abenefit, if you remain healthyand if you did not get a lotmore than your premium backyou have won a bet, you gotboth good health and sound finances, rewards.If you prefer to chance medical bankruptcy paythe small fine to the IRS.

Thumbs up/Thumbs down. You believe weneed a new safety complex. Terrific . Thatsyour opinion. I would never dream of hiringmen in costume to take your property or put

you in a cage for exercising your beliefs. Thatwould be evil to do so. So, take out yourcheckbook and pay for it. Now, are you willingto afford me the same courtesy? Would youadvocate the use of forceagainst me for disagreeingwith you? For withholding myfinancial support? Will thetown extract money or propertyfrom me to pay for a complexthat others choose? So muchfor allowing me to exercise mybeliefs. How evil is that?

Thumbs upto Mr. Carneygrowing government. First,new schools. Then we neednew staff to maintain thoseinvestments. Then we neednew equipment for those newschools. But of course the

voters knew what they were getting into, right?Just like Mr. Carney said. Grow, grow, grow.And of course the tax base must increase to payfor all of this!

Thumbs upto Ed Brooks. The attack onhim is unjustified because he is a true Patriotin America. We need to stop this liberal leftistprogram. We have suffered for six years underthis president. Time for the liberals to step asideand let America flourish.

Thumbs downto anyone, anywhere whoare allowed to chant to kill cops. This isunacceptab le anytime by anybody. My fatherand grandfather were both police officers and Iwas taught that PIG stood for Pride, Integrityand Guts.

Thumbs downto spend, spend, spend. Fourof the five Selectman cant spend money fast

enough. Especially the two Selectmen on theright who never met a spending increase theydidnt like. Who voted for these guys? Looks likethey may have big business in their back pocket.Expect your taxes to go up, and up, and up.

Thumbs up/Thumbs down. What hashappened to the Budget Committee? Themeetings go on and on and just never seem toend. People are talking about subjects that arerelevant to their duties, ask questions they shouldknow they answer to if they prepared and somemembers keep rambling on about the same thing.While Mr. Campbell sometimes makes a validpoint, he lets his ego take over most of the time.Is he trying to get an Emmy award? The chairmanshould take lessons from the selectmen. Pat doestend to run a tight ship and the members knowtheir stuff and keep it short for the most part.

Thumbs upto our NH Legislature for passing alaw prohibiting people from exploiting our elderly.So why didnt they give it a name like they doother laws, two of our Salem Reps would be aperfect fit!

Thumbs upto spending $27,000 on a study ofthe towns water lines. I think we should study airquality next. Whats more important than that?Then a study on town employee productivity.That should cost at least another $27,000. Thena study on sound levels throughout the town. Notelling what kind of damage that causes. Then atraffic study. Then a ...

submitted by St. Joseph Regional Catholic School

St. Joseph Regional Catholic School has been accepted into the VerizonMobile Learning Academy program by being recognized as a school committedto reshaping education.

St. Joes students already possess a solid foundation of academics and studyskills, but with the 1:1 iPad program and other in-class technology, they willgain a solid digital age skill set as well. Through their professional developmentclasses, St. Joes teachers will hone their technology skills as well. ParticipatingSt. Joseph teachers will earn 2.5 credits from Johns Hopkins University whilelearning how to use digital tools more effectively during lesson planning,delivery, assignment and assessment processes.

Putting technology in the classroom has been a real revolution, said

Technology teacher Lynn Tabiatnejad. Our students amaze us every day by

how they use their digital skills to learn, prepare and present their school work.But as a parent of a seventh grader at the school, I certainly appreciate theschool and teacher commitment to being the drivers of this revolution.

Principal Noreen McAloon recognizes the value of participating in thistechnology-based endeavor. As a school, we understand our mission is tograduate students with a solid foundation of academics and Catholic values,she explained. Area high schools are consistently impressed by how well ourstudents are prepared to succeed. This is a tribute to our teachers and how theychallenge themselves to keep up with lesson planning and delivery in this digitalage with professional development programs like the Verizon Mobile LearningAcademy.
