Higher price prevails.Expires 7/13/2014

by S. Aaron ShamshoyanA grant from the Lancaster Fund will help cover the cost to bring

a large memorial to Salem, paying tribute to fallen soldiers.Selectmen approved the request Monday for $2,500 by the

Salem Veterans Association, which is working to raise nearly$18,000 and bring a Vietnam Memorial replica wall to Grant Field.

Were expecting a very, very large turnout, said DouglasMicklon, Salem Veterans Association president.

Mickon said the 300-foot-long wall will arrive by truck October15, and assembly will take place the following day.

On October 15, were planning to have the wall at the rest areaon 93 North in Salem, he said, adding a police escort would leadthe wall to Grant Field.

The memorial, an 80 percent scale replica of the one inWashington, includes police, fire, World War I, and World War IItributes.

Were trying to make this a very large town event, Micklonsaid, adding the memorial will be open to visitors 24 hours a day.

Selectmens Chair Patrick Hargreaves excused himself from

the board along with Selectman Stephen Campbell, as they areinvolved with the association. Hargreaves initiated the discussionabout bringing the memorial to town, and has taken a lead in thefundraising efforts.

A grant of this type is for a special initiative, special project,said Selectman James Keller. This is very much once in alifetime.

Micklon said the wall offered an opportunity for people to seea powerful memorial who may not be able to make the trip toWashington. Its very emotional, he said.

Selectmen approved the request on the heels of anotherproposal coming last week which was denied for not meetingwithdrawal requirements.

A request from Salem Family Resources - Success by 6 wasultimately rejected when selectmen determined the moneywould be used as part of the operating budget, which is againstguidelines.

The board had previously determined monies would only beused for special projects benefiting the community.

Additional State Fundsfor School Renovationwill Save Taxpayers

$3 Millionby S. Aaron Shamshoyan

An additional $3 million from the state will help offset the cost torenovate Salem High School, reducing the impact on residents.

Originally scheduled to receive $10.77 million to cover about62 percent of the renovation costs to the Career and TechnicalEducation Center, the district will now receive a 75-percent matchfrom the state.

We learned last week there was a successful vote of HB 1350,Salem Superintendent Michael Delahanty said, adding a failed vote

in Plymouth meant more money was available for Salem.As a regional school, other communities had to support the

bond, he said, noting Ashland opposed the project. Were theonly district thats getting money right now.

Prior to Plymouth rejecting a renovation, Whitefield voted downa proposed project. Schools are only eligible for the funding every23 years.

The money wont mean a larger project, but a reduction tothe tax impact. Delahanty said originally the project would costtaxpayers about $64.8 million and now the cost will be just over$61 million.

We cannot exceed the $74.7 million that the town hasappropriated for the project, Delahanty said.

But exactly how the additional funds will be used has not yetbeen determined.

Delahanty suggested using the $3 million to offset the amountneeded in the third-year bond in 2017, saying the anticipatedinterest would be higher than the first two years. He said reducingthe third bond by that amount would lead to an additional $4.3million in savings from interest.

The current plan calls for three bonds of about $21 million to bewithdrawn from January 2015 through 2017.

Dover will be eligible to receive funding from the state for aCTE renovation in 2015, but awarding of those monies would notimpact Salem.

Delahanty praised Senator Chuck Morse for his efforts in gettingthe bill passed.

He [Morse] had to use some persuasion and some strongunderstanding of legislation, Delahanty told school boardmembers Tuesday.

Board members will determine this fall how to best distribute theadditional funds. Renovation of the building is projected to start inthe summer of 2015.

by Bob GibbsUnits from the Salem Fire

Department held training exercises atthe buildings of 41 Main Street thatare scheduled for demolition. Thebuildings are owned by Joe Faro ofTuscan Kitchen who generously offeredthem to the town for training. The fireand police departments will be doingtraining at this site until the ownerscontractors raze the buildings.

Members of ladder 1 under thecommand of Lieutenant Brian Murraytrained on opening the roof of abuilding. The fireman used the laddertruck, chain saws, and axes to make

their way through the roof of thebuilding. In the case of a real fire,opening a hole in the roof would bedone to exhaust smoke and heat fromthe building.

Lt. Murray stated that this building isan example of an older building made with solid wood studs. Newer buildings, built with

manmade materials, can be more hazardous due thevolatility of the products used. Much of the materialis made with glue-like material that can actuallymelt causing toxic fumes build to up inside of thebuilding. The man made materials also become lessstable than solid wood building materials whichoften will be the cause of a roof or wall collapseduring a fire.

Whenever buildings are erected or updated thefire department always attempts to take a tour of thebuilding in order to get a sense of what the buildingis made of and of the basic layout of the building.Lt. Murray stated that it would be a good idea to

contact the fire department whenever putting upa new building. The tour can help save lives andproperty in the case of a fire or other emergencysituation.

Its up to the VotersRecently this disturbing quote surfaced: Your dead kids dont trump my

Constitutional Rights.Joe Wurlsebacher (better known as Joe the Plumber from Sara Palins

time) actually stated these right wing beliefs.Erica Lafferty, whose mother, Dawn Hochsprung, was the principal of

Sandy Hook Elementary and one of 27 v ictims of the massacre, responded,Im sorry my loss inconveniences you, Joe. But youre the one whos out oftouch. Wurzelbachers comments, Lafferty wrote, encapsulate the ID ofthe small faction of extremists who are influencing our countrys gun laws.

In a shocking way, Wurlsebachers eight words Your dead kids donttrump my Constitutional Rights encapsulates what the NRA and all of the

politicians who vote against stricter gun laws are saying.Every week in NH we seem to have another police offi cer shot, another

domestic dispute, another shooting of some kind or another.Nationally, weve just had the Santa Barbara shootings. Ive visited Santa

Barbara and it is the dream of where Id want my son or daughter to go tocollege - a beautiful, peaceful environment.

If I had young sons/daughters - at this point I dont know what I woulddo. Between campus violence and rapes ... its a tough decision as towhether to let your young people go out into the world or try to keep themsafe at home.

NH, with its lenient gun laws and less than adequate funding to helppeople with mental health issues, is ripe for a real disaster.

Te Santa Barbara story could be a UNH story.NH, at the very least, mustchange its Republican right wing/free state

anyone can carry gun laws and start vetting gun owners.We have been less than well served with our current representatives in

Concord. We must have representatives and senators in Concord whowill take on the Republican ea Party/Free Stater contingent and stand forstricter gun control in NH.

We must have representatives and senators in Washington like AnnieKuster and Jeanne Shaheen who will vote for stricter g un control laws.

Its up to us - the Voters - to make this happen.

NH Alliance for Retired Americans Weighs inWhen it comes to support for the senior safety net, New Hampshires two

senators could not be more different. Te Alliance for Retired Americansproduces a voting record to show how committed our elected representativesare to retirees and older Americans. Votes chosen for 2013 were (http://

retiredamericans.org/issues/congressional-voting-record): Seniors ProgramCuts, Health Care Repeal, Estate ax Repeal, Anti-Retiree Budget,Mandatory Benefit Cuts, Limit Victims Rights, Limit Voters Rights, CutEmergency Phone Service, Pro-Retiree Budget, and Cut Nutrition Programs.

Senator Shaheen received a score of 100 percent, which did not surprisethe New Hampshire Alliance for Retired Americans, since we have ha dopportunities to speak with h er in person both in her offi ce and at eventsaround the state, and to hear her pledge her support for the programs thatnot only benefit us, but our children and grandchildren now and in thefuture.

Senator Ayotte received a score of 10 percent, which, sorry to say, did notsurprise us. She has, her staff tells us, been much too busy to meet with usat her offi ce, despite repeated requests. Individual members have attendedevents she held, despite the short notices, but have not gotten any questionsanswered.

We at the New Hampshire Alliance for Retired Americans believe that allNew Hampshire retirees and all New Hampshire citizens who care about ourretirees or hope to be retired someday should have this information. Pleasevisit our website, http://nhallianceforretiredamericans.blogspot.com, formore information and how to contact us.

We are a Republic, not a MonarchyWhether you are for or against the release of five aliban for Bowe Bergdahldoesnt matter. Te fact is that it was illegal without the consent ofCongress. Obama signed that legislation himself. We are going to havetroops in Afghanistan until the end of 2016 so it hard to believe that theywont be responsible for more casualties.

If Bowe Bergdahl was so concerned about the Afghan children, thenhe should have joined the Peace Corp. and not the Army. Personally, mysympathies are for the children whose parents had to leap from the Worldrade ower.

Do you remember the Mel Brooks movie when he says, Its good to beking? I believe Barack Obama says that to the mirror every morning. Hedoes whatever he wants and if you dare question him you are either a bigotor a rightwing wacko.We are a Republic, not a Monarchy. Its time for those who swore an oath todefend our Constitution to stand up and do it.Was there a Rose Garden ceremony for the parents of those 6 to 14 soldierswho died trying to find Bergdahl? I must have missed it.

Kudos for a Job Well DoneI am writing this letter of tha nks and appreciation for many of the

residents of Sand Hill Road and Pond Street. Tis letter is to let you knowwhat an incredible job Mike Gover, Supervisor, and Doug Robbins, ProjectManager, and the entire crew of Busby Construction have performed and arecurrently fine tuning to our roads and personal property.

Teir attitude, conscientiousness, work ethics are something rarely seenin todays work force. Examples of this are simple if you open your eyesand watch how they perform. Tey speak to property owners about theirconcerns, wants, and outcome of their property to make sure they aresatisfied with the end result. Along the way, the road crew picks up trash,i.e.: beer cans, Dunkin Donut cups, cigarette butts, etc. thrown by peopledriving through our roads, and debris from their work. Whenever you look,their people are working at doing the best to get the job done and doneprecisely.

Te town should be proud to ha ve contracted with such a splendidcompany and group of people. I sincerely hope Busby Construction willcontinue to gain contracts throughout Salem, making not only the residentsproud of their town and surrounding area, but also making town enticing toothers and to move here and make this their home.

Once again, kudos to Busby Construction!

Our freedom, created by our founding documents, is maintained due to ourinnovation, productivity, property ownership, and earned wealth (howeverlittle). Te result was we were allowed to spend time enjoying life. Weworked , we played, had friends and family times, and life went on. Youreally didnt worry about being messed with or tha t government was lookingover your shoulder waiting for the slightest misstep. Sure you paid taxes butthats life. Everyone seemed to be in the action of maintaining a free societyand we were all left alone to our own devices.

Te Americans who could work, seemed to be able to work, most of thetime and those reliant on government were in poverty and represented 10-15percent of society as a whole. Remarkable when you look at other countrieswhere unemployment has been 40 percent or more for years and every day isa fight for finding food, water, energy, and even shelter for ones family.

Recently, the government reported 86 million Americans work and paytaxes and 114 million live on the ha ndouts from the government 148million if you count government paychecks. What? In America? Teplace where everyone participates and knows whats going on so they canafford to have time to use on entertainment? Every taxpayer is supportingapproximately 1.75 people. As you walk around to day pick two people(outside your family) and you support them too! What the heck?

I heard that factoid reported and thought, even if half true, because theyare, after all, government statistics and can be manipulated, this is insanity.Let that fact sink in. I am very fearful for our country. No longer are themajority of Americans the producers, too many are the leeches. We used tobe able to have a balance that enabled the economy room to spin off moneyto reinvest. Now we accumulate debt at a faster rate than the economy can

sustain over time. Wh en you wake upand think about it, that statement isvery logical and very scary.

Whos to blame? Us. We weregiven the ability to have the bestlife of all and we have allowed ourUnionized Bureaucracy to squanderit. We have allowed the ruling class,mostly through so-called progressive(i.e. socialist) ideals, to run thingsinto the ground in the interest of theirwealth and power. Every country hasthem. Ours, for the first 150 years

More Lettersfrom Page 4kept their heads on. And the country ran in a way noother country in history did. We raised our standardof living to be vastly superior of what went before as weinvented automation and other human advancements.Now they fiddle and diddle while prices for energydoubles, weekly groceries double, and the dollar is worth3 cents after 100 years of government largesse for war, thepoor, and burgeoning government union wages. We havea right to be angry.

Great leaders like Harry Reid, who has been inCongress forever and made millions on a $175,000salary is the best example. Te entire Congress is madeup of these fools professional politicians who are outfor themselves bribed by their cronies and existing inthe rarified air of the wealthy who know better than wepeasants. We have recreated the big stupid governmentfound in most countries on the planet. Only peoplededicated to the original Constitutional America shouldbe elected. Tis year, vote against every single incumbent.Ten we start America again.

Is Scott Brown Hiding Something?If you havent yet decided that money and politics are

a bad mix, you need look no further than Scott Brownsrecently reported association with a shady start up firmin Florida for proof. All he needed to earn a seat on theboard and stock valued at $1.3 million was a partial termin the U.S. Senate, plans to run again, and a willingness tolend his name to the company.

We may never know what, if anything, Brown promisedthe owners of that firm, but it defies logic to believethat there was no expectation of reciprocal action by

Brown. Nobody just gives away that much value withoutexpecting to gain from it.

In 2012, Mitt Romney arguably lost his chance for thepresidency when his infamous 47% remarks revealed hiscynical perception of nearly half the countrys populationas parasites, mooching off of job creators.

What then is Scott Brown? Is he worthy to serve us inthe Senate, or is he just one of Romneys 47% disguisedin an expensive suit, getting his free stuff from wealthybusiness people instead of in the unemployment linelike so many who lost their jobs because of an economydevastated mainly by the actions of banks too big to fail?

And if Brown had nothing to hide, why did he soabruptly end his association and return the stock? I thinkIll stick with Senator Shaheen. I dont have to worryabout her judgment or integrity.

Salem Native Relives History byServing Aboard USS Constitution

submittedby MassCommunicationSpecialist 1stClass (SW)

James Green,Navy Officeof CommunityOutreach

A 2005 SalemHigh Schoolgraduate is part

of a hand-pickedNavy crewserving on theworlds oldestcommissionedwarship afloat,the USSConstitution.

PettyOfficer 2ndClass StephenGetchell serves aboard the 216-year-oldBoston-based ship named by President GeorgeWashington to honor the Constitution of theUnited States of America. Famously known asOld Ironsides, the Constitution is a wooden-hulled three-masted heavy frigate that originallylaunched in 1797 as one of six o riginal frigatesauthorized for construction by the NavalArmament Act of 1794.

Getchell, 27, said he is honored to have

been selected to serve on the ship that is rich inhistory and successfully held off the British Navyin the War of 1812.

The history of this ship is amazing, saidGetchell. Being able to serve on the same shipthat some of the early American heroes servedon is an honor.

Constitution actively defended sea lanesagainst global threats from 1797 to 1855. Nowa featured destination on Bostons Freedom Trail,the Constitution and her crew offer communityoutreach and education about the ships historyand the importance of maintaining a strongNavy to hundreds of thousands of visitors eachyear.

Seventy-five sailors make up the crew aboardUSS Constitution. These sailors routinely

interact with the public talking about their jobsaboard Constitution, their previous duty stations,Navy rules and regulations and life aboard aNavy vessel.

It is an honor to serve on the USSConstitution, the worlds oldest commissionedwar fighting vessel, but I am even prouder toserve alongside its 75-member crew, said Cmdr.Sean Kearns, Constitutions 73rd commandingofficer. Each sailor selected to serve on the USSConstitution has a unique story to tell, like that

of Old Ironsides. The mission of todays Navyis not much different than in 1797: protectingand defending America on the worlds oceans.

The Constitution is scheduled to conductseveral sailing demonstrations in BostonHarbor this summer prior to entering a three-year dry dock maintenance period. Theships first sailing, commemorating both theBattle of Midway and the 70th anniversary ofD-Day, was scheduled for June 6. The popularIndependence Day sailing, open to the publicvia lottery, will occur on July 4.

Serving on the Constitution is a humblingexperience, said Getchell. Just thinking aboutthe history under your feet when you are aboardConstitution is almost hard to believe.

by Michael J VinciThe 46th annual Dollars for Scholars ceremony was presented

to an excited crowd of friends, family, and proud recipients on thenight of Thursday, June 5, in the Salem High School auditorium.

Frank Stewart, president of the local chapter of the now-nationalDollars for Scholars organization encouraged the outgoing seniorsto give back to their communities and to return as alumni forscholarship ceremonies in the future. President Stewart thankedthe board of directors for their service and expressed gratitudeto the Salem community for helping so many students achieve

a higher education over the years. The Dollars for Scholarsorganization, which started in Salem in 1968, used a newpaperless application system based entirely online for the firsttime this year. Guest speaker Tracy Collyer, the current principalat Salem High, gave well-spoken advice to graduating seniorson their time in college and how to approach their futures. Theboard of directors, as well as several former recipients of variousscholarships, was in attendance to celebrate the yearly awards.

Twenty-nine graduating seniors were given various scholarshipsbased on academic accomplishment and financial necessity.The awards for 2014 totaled $50,000, with the 46th year total

amounting to $1,673,145 handed out to more than 1,600 students.Applause followed each student, many o f which received multipleawards for their hard work. Joshua Fox, who earned the Mark E.Sambataro Memorial Scholarship, as well as two other awards,plans on attending the University of New Hampshire in the comingyear. Joshua intends on studying political science and continuinghis education into law school afterwards. He, as well as all othersin attendance, was ushered into the cafeteria for a meet-and-greetcomplete with refreshments after the ceremony. Once inside thedining hall, the graduates were introduced to those who made theirscholarships possible.

Corey Nowak, another recent SHS graduate, received theScott Dupont Memorial Scholarship which is assigned to creativestudents, as well as three other scholarships. Corey plans onputting his awards to good use at the Rochester Institute ofTechnology where he will study electrical engineering. He posedfor pictures with family and spoke with teachers, board membersand trustees in the high school cafeteria.

Funding for the annual Dollars for Scholars event is raisedthrough donations as well as a walk-a-thon, main-a-thon and apoker night at Rockingham Park.

by Sonny TylusThe Salem Exchange Club, as in the

past, recently gave out four scholarships tolocal students. The first two went to DavidSmolenski and Brianna Lumb. They receivedthe A.C E. (Accepting the Challenge ofExcellence) scholarship. This program hastwo key objectives. First, it helps encouragestudents to overcome their hardships and getback on track toward a high school diploma.Secondly, the award recognizes thosestudents who are often overlooked for theiraccomplishments. This special recognitionserves as a powerful example to all thestudents that hard work and perseverancereally do pay. The scholarships were for$1,000 and in addition each student receiveda plaque.In addition, two more students, Ryan

Fredette and Crystal Napoli, received

Freedom Shrine Scholarships. Each applicanthad to submit a project that was the basisfor the judging.

Congratulations to Salem High SchoolGraduating Class of 2014

from all of us at


9/16


submitted by Alex Dubois, Pelham High School SeniorHave you ever wanted to see police dogs in action? Have

you ever wondered how much training they and their respectiveofficers undergo? Didyou ever think abouttheir different tacticsin fighting crime? Mrs.Dubes Criminology classat Pelham High learnedthe answers to all thisand more on May 20.

The class was paid a

special visit by officersPaul Benoit and DanNelson of the SalemPolice Department,along with their four-legged counterparts,Trigger and Till. Triggerand Till are both blackGerman shepherds.Officer Benoit beganthe presentationby explaining thedifferences betweenpassive and active alert.Trigger is trained forpassive alert, whichmeans when he searchesfor contraband or otheritems, he scratches thesurface and sits whilethe officer uncovers it.

Officer Nelson explainedthat this tactic is usedwhen there is a threatof a bomb. Till, on theother hand, is trained foractive alert, in which herapidly searches and digsand claws until he findswhat he is looking for.Active alert issued mostlyin narcotic searches andother drug raids. OfficerNelson said that thecanines primary functionis to be a locating tool.

The next few minuteswere open for generalquestions. Chantal Roussel asked if either of the officers hasever been bitten by their dogs, to which they both replied,yes. They explained that the dogs struggle to be the alphadog, which is the position of the officers, and thus may attemptto take out their frustrations toward them. However, OfficerBenoit quickly chimed in and said that he still loves his dog andworking with him every day is truly a magical experience.Dylan Faust asked if there was any special equipment theyneeded to use with their dogs. Both officers were kind enoughto pass around their muzzle and tracking harnesses.

To everyones surprise, the dogs even have their ownbulletproof vests. Mrs. Dube asked if the officers would ratherhave a human partner or a dog partner, and surprisingly they

preferred to have thedogs by their side.

The second half ofthe presentation wasextremely unique andinteresting. The classwas able to witnessthe police dogs inaction. Officer Nelson,

protected by a sheathover his arm, wastaken down by oneof the dogs. The dogdid not stop until hehad completely rippedthe sheath off his arm.A mere few secondslater, the officersarm already showedsigns of bruising andswelling. Secondly,Officer Benoit (alsowearing protectivearmor) played the roleof a fleeing suspect. Heran across the field, butwas caught and takendown almost instantly.This was a livedemonstration of the

dogs second functionas an apprehensiontool.

This presentationwas a very special treatfor the criminologystudents, and they areall very thankful thatthe officers took timeout of their day to comeand see them. CaseyGendreau, who hopesto pursue a career inlaw enforcement, said,It was a very insightfulexperience, but I thinkI would rather have a

human partner to help me.Tia Floyd said It was way different than I thought it would

be, and now I realize how much work canine officers haveto put in. Everyone enjoyed the presentation, although Mrs.Dube was a bit frightened by the dogs. She said that showshow much she enjoys making her class interesting for herstudents, especially since this is her last year teaching beforeshe retires. Mrs. Dube also invited an FBI agent and SchoolResource Officer Brian Kelley to come and speak to the class.

Salem High ReceivesNational Student

Council Award

submitted by Salem High SchoolClaire Brady, an Office Technology

teacher, was selected as the SalemHigh School Staff Member of theMonth for April. In the words ofseveral students who nominated her:Not only is she a great teacher, sheis a great role model. She comesto school every day with a smile onher face and a positive attitude. Shealways makes my day brighter!

Mrs. Brady getting onlythis nomination would be anunderstatement of her efforts. Shedevotes her time and efforts to benefitthe people around her academicallyand personally. She has madesuch an impact in my life, and Imsure many others. She helped me

overcome my fear of public speakingand encouraged me to run for a stateofficer of FBLA which required me tomake a speech in front of 400 people.She motivated me to have confidencein myself so I listened to her, madethe speech, and won the position.

Mrs. Brady is a great teacherwho encourages people to followtheir dreams. In class she is greatwith helping any students with any

problem, whether its personal, class,or school related. I cant think of ateacher that deserves it more.

Mrs. Brady has taught me skills Iwill carry with me throughout my life,including typing and

filing. I have never seen Mrs. Bradybe anything less than enthusiastic andcheerful.

Lisa Massahos, a paraprofessional,was chosen as the Salem High SchoolStaff Member of the Month for May.Her nomination by a staff memberstated, Lisa is such a valuable assetin and out of the classroom. Lisa hasbeen in my class many times. Herdedication to the students doesnt stopafter the 90-minute block. Not only

does she take the initiative to do theassignments herself so she can betterhelp the students, she hasalso taken assignments home tobetter modify them for students. Shehas helped students before and afterschool countless times. She urgesthem to study or complete work withtheir free time throughout the day

Her day does not simply beginat 7:15 a.m. and end at 2:10 p.m.

Lisa encourages and supports everystudent she comes in contact withto do their best. Lisa is an activeparticipant in many of Salem HighSchools activities. As advisor to thefreshman class she runs class councilmeetings, attends many of the events,and helps run events. Lisa is alwayswilling to help out the other classesas well. For example she is the goto person for the annual Battle of theBands concert. Even though this isnt

the freshman event, the other advisorsknew that she can be counted on tohelp run the event. Lisa is a valuableasset to the Salem High Schoolcommunity, and I am very pleased tobe nominating her for Staff Member ofthe Month.

Deb Wilmarth, support staff forthe Area Directors and the ComputerLab supervisor, was selected as theSalem High School Staff Member ofthe Month for June. Her nominationby a staff member stated, Deb isthe central figure in all class councilactivities whether it is her class the Class of 2014 or the otherclasses. Other class advisors rely onDeb immensely for ideas and for theorganization of events such as theFreshman Reception, Mr. SHS, theTalent Show, and other fundraisers.

She is a living oral history andoperations manual of these school-wide student social events. Theseevents would be far more difficult andstressful without her involvement. Ican think of no one more deservingof this honor than Deb Wilmarth.Congratulations to Mrs. Brady, Mrs.Massahos, and Mrs. Wilmarth for theirwell-deserved recognition.

submitted by the Barron SchoolThis month the young entomologists in Grade 1 studied

the life cycle of butterflies. Students observed the tinycaterpillars grow fat and fuzzy, then watched as theyeventually made their chrysalis. After checking each

morning for two weeks, they were excited to see thatthe butterflies had begun to emerge from the chrysalises.Flowers were placed in the butterfly tents and students wereable to see the butterflies drink nectar. First graders learneda lot about the butterfly cycle and created diagrams toillustrate this. Finally the day came when it was time to setthem free. They took the butterflies outside and watchedthem fly away.

There are also many future gardeners in Grade 1. Theyplanted marigold, green bean and pumpkin seeds, wateredthem and watched their growth from seed to healthy

young plants.First graders used their map skills during a recent trip

to the Stone Zoo. While there they had to use the zoosmap to find information about the animals. Everyone hada wonderful time answering the scavenger hunt questions.

Ask your child what a Zebu is and what is the purpose ofits hump? It was a great way to learn about many animalstheyd never seen before.

Grade 1 teachers and students would like to express a bigthank you to our many volunteers for their generous helpthroughout the year. We really appreciate the many thingsyou did for us! It has been an exciting year at Barron.Everyone has learned many new skills, worked very hardand had lots of fun. Now everyone is looking forward tonew challenges and adventures next year. Heres hopingeveryone has a fun-filled summer!

Spoil Dad with Yummy, Homemade Breakfast

submitted by Farmers Market Chef Susan McLean

Make it a really happy day for dad and spoil him this weekendby preparing him breakfast. Two favorite recipes from the SalemNH Farmers Market include Maple Smoothies and Egg SandwichCupcakes.

Egg Sandwich Cupcakes? Yep. Baked in muffin tins, theyre greatfor breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner or snack. The genius of muffintins provides portion control.

You can make the cupcake with either a gooey yolk or a fullybaked egg.

If you want the gooey yolk, pre-bake bacon at 400 degrees forabout 10 minutes or cook in heated saut pan for about 3-5 minuteseach side. You dont want crispy bacon yet. Baking will help getthe bacon crispier quicker while you bake the eggs but still remainpliable for molding in the muffin tins. Bake this version for about 15minutes, until whites are fully set.

If you want a fully baked egg, which is great for movable feasts(like picnics), dont pre-cook the bacon and cook the cupcakes for30 minutes.

Maple Smoothies are super simple and super yummy. Whippingthe yogurt brings it to a smoothie consistency without adding anyother liquid. Add some chopped maple pecans for added protein.

All products for these two recipes are available at the market.Buy local. Eat local. Visit the Salem NH Farmers Market onSundays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. hosted at Lake Street GardenCenter. Debit, credit and EBT accepted. Visit us online atSalemNHFarmersMarket.org and like us on Facebook at facebook.com/salemnhfarmersmarket.
