Seniors Enjoy Frightfully Good Halloween Party at the VFW

by AJ Dickinson
It was a frightfully good time
on Sunday, Oct. 26, at VFW Post
8546 off of North Broadway at its
10th annual Senior Halloween
Party from 2 to 3 p.m. More
than 25 attendees seemed to be
having the times of their lives
while line dancing with instructor
Jason McCollin who some might
recognize from the Salem Senior
Center where he often teaches
at gatherings. Although the New
England Patriots were having the
game of a lifetime, these seniors
were having the time of their lives
socializing and dancing. The short
but sweet party was complete
with refreshments and Halloween

Animal Control Officer Combines Police Work with a Love of Animals

by Bob Gibbs
Salem Animal Control Officer Corey Bliss never thought that a
career with the police lay ahead for her, but she now combines her
work on the force with her love for animals.
Having grown up in 4H and FFA, Officer Bliss has spent much
of her life involved with animals. Attending Alvirne High School
with its agricultural opportunities enabled her to exhibit dairy cattle
and to participate in sheep shearing, and she is now teaching her
10-year-old daughter how to spin wool.
Since high school, she has worked in an animal hospital, from
customer service to veterinary technician, assisting in general
practice and emergency critical care, and even an overnight
emergency room technician. Vast and varied, her experiences have
benefited her greatly during her tenure as Salems ACO.
She took the job in 2011, when she answered an ad in the
newspaper. At that time, it was part of the highway department,

but shortly afterward, the position was moved under the

jurisdiction of the police department, requiring her to attend
the 260th Part Time Police Academy. Graduating Nov.
18, 2011, she is now a sworn police officer for the Town
of Salem. (I) never saw myself getting out of veterinary
medicine, she said. I loved it. I never considered being a
police officer. Everything just led me here.
From dogs and cats to raccoons, foxes, skunks and birds
of prey, Officer Bliss deals with all kinds of animals,
although there have not been many cases in town, she
has been vaccinated for rabies. She has suffered only
minor nips and scratches from some of the animals
she has worked with. Im pretty good at reading
dog behavior.
At this time she is the only female on Salems
police force, a second female officer is currently

at the Police Academy. Being the only female of the force is fine.
They are like family here. They treat me great. When it comes to
my co-workers or my supervisors, they have been wonderful. They
direct me in the right direction when needed. In her job as ACO,
Officer Bliss works alone most of the time, but her fellow officers are
only a call away. If she has a question or needs helps, she knows
they would be there in a heartbeat.
When asked if there was any advantage in being a female ACO,
Officer Bliss stated that she feels it comes down to people skills,
communication, and you need to be able to work with the public.
Although, some people may be a little shocked when they see me
capture some of these sickly wild animals. She says that technical
skills, knowledge of the animals and communication are most
important. She also has set up a good network of animal shelters,
veterinarians and animal hospitals, and she has a close working
relationship with New Hampshire Fish and Game.

North Policy Guardrail Denied Despite Recommendation by Engineers

by S. Aaron Shamshoyan
A plan to reconstruct North Policy Street in the near future will
include installing a guardrail along Canobie Lake, and that proposal
isnt sitting well with area residents.
Town Manager Keith Hickey told selectmen last week the
engineering firm selected to design the road project planned to
install a metal guardrail along the length of the lake.
A similar plan was denied over 10 years ago when the board
voted against the recommendation citing concerns by North Policy
Street residents.
This is whats being proposed by engineering standards, he said.
We cannot get a plan stamped by a professional engineer without a
guardrail.
The recommendation is backed by town staff saying the guardrail
would usually be installed along with the project, and not include
public discussion on the matter.

From an engineering standpoint, this is a very cut and dry issue,

Town Engineer Bob Puff said. If it werent for some of the back
story on this particular issue, I would normally install it as just a
matter of course.
Puff said the police department agreed with the recommendation
citing five accidents in the area since 2010, with one car landing in
the lake.
But the plan received opposition from residents, fearing a guardrail
would lead to safety hazards and detract from the view of the lake.
Bill Ganley of North Policy said he strongly felt the guardrail
would be a safety concern.
Right now the road is very narrow, he said. Theres no room for
anyone to go now; theres just not room, even for a traffic stop.
Ganley said there is frequent use of the bank and a guardrail
would reduce available space to do so. He added cars would tend
to travel closer to the center of the road with a guardrail on the edge

which could lead to accidents.

He was also concerned about changes to the bank of the lake,
saying trees would likely be removed and the view would be
obstructed.
I dont think it would be aesthetically pleasing, he said. After
hearing tonight its going to be an ugly metal guardrail, I can tell you,
yeah, I think its going to look like crap.
Jeff Schulte of North Policy said there hasnt been a need for the
guardrail along the history of the roads existence.
That roads been there since before the turn of the century, he
said, adding speed bumps or other methods could be used to reduce
travel speed.
Puff said a wooden alternative was researched for visual purposes,
but wouldnt work for the application. He said end units for the
metal rail are designed to crumple, and a wooden version is not
available.
Selectman Everett McBride said people walking along the edge
of the road couldnt get over the rail quickly if an accident was
eminent.
There is liability everywhere, he said. Its a risk.
The engineering firm wouldnt provide a professional engineering
stamp on the proposal without the guardrail. This would leave
liability in the hands of selectmen.
The board voted 3-2 to oppose the installation of the guardrail.
Hickey said a note will be added to the plan regarding the boards
position on the guardrail. Selectman James Keller and Lyons were in
the minority.

My mom lives alone, but fairly close by. I
am worried about her eating habits. Do you
have any information with helping her eat more
nutritionally? Judy, Salem
Great question, Judy. Poor nutrition and
malnutrition occur in up to 50 percent of the
elderly population. Whether its because of
physical limitations or being on a fixed income,
many seniors dont eat as well as they should.
Arthritis is one disease that can make cooking
difficult. Being on certain medications can
decrease ones appetite. As we age it is common
to have a decline with our sense of smell and
taste. If a meal isnt appetizing and you cant
really taste or smell it, it is less likely to be
eaten. Physical pain and poor strength can make
even simple meal preparation tasks difficult to
maneuver. It may be hard for her to open a can
of healthy soup or peel a delicious fruit. Cooking

also requires standing for quite some time.

Seniors are also, more likely, to suffer from dental
problems. Ill-fitting dentures, jaw pain, and
missing teeth can make chewing painful. All of
these factors make it increasingly difficult for the
elderly to eat healthy foods. A 1990 survey by
Ross Laboratories found that 30 percent of seniors
skip at least one meal a day
The best ways to find out why your mom isnt
eating well are to pay attention, look for clues
and ask questions. A visit to the doctor may be
beneficial. You may want to go food shopping
with her and encourage her to purchase some
healthy items like whole grains, fresh fruits,
yogurt and vegetables. Another idea may be to
encourage healthy snacking. Large meals can be
overwhelming to some seniors. Try to encourage
her to eat mini meals/snacks throughout the day.
Make sure her dental appointments are made and
kept. And finally if you can bring a meal over or
invite her to your home on a regular basis you
may see that she does have an appetite when she
is not eating alone. If eating with others improves
her eating habits you may want to look into a
senior center or an adult day.

Theres a Place for You

at our Table
submitted by First Congregational
Church of Salem
On Thursday, November 27, many families will
gather for turkey dinner, football and family time.
Many of the same families will give thanks for all
of Gods blessings. However, for many people, it
might as well be just another day for they have
no place to be or no family to gather with.
First Congregational Church would like
to change that by inviting the community to
Thanksgiving dinner with its church family.
Last year I was looking for a community
outreach event that would involve every
parishioner of our church, stated Rev. Eric
Redard, when it dawned on me that there
are many people who have nowhere to go
on Thanksgiving. I pitched the idea to our
leadership and it just snowballed. Everyone was
onboard. It was awe inspiring to see how it all
came together.
This year, Rev. Redard is hoping for an even
bigger turnout. Weve increased our publicity
ten-fold. There are flyers all around town and
are being placed in each food bag at local food
pantries. The ministry team for this event is
so excited and cant wait to serve dinner on
November 27.
My biggest concern last year was cooking six
turkeys in our small non-commercial kitchen,
said Christine Southwick, a member of FCC
and on the dinner ministry team, Then Mike
Ouellette of Michaels Market stepped up and
offered to cook, carve and deliver the turkeys.
He made gravy and oh my goodness, it was so
delicious. Were very grateful to Mike who has
offered to do the same for us this year.
Members of First Congregational will donate all
the food, prepare everything except the turkeys,
and serve the food.
Peters Farm and The Pie Guy gave very
generous food donations last year, said Christine.
Were hoping they can help us out again this
year.

This is a great opportunity to put our faith

into action. Everyone can do something to help
with the dinner, said Bridget Detollenaere, a
member of the dinner ministry team. One thing
our church family does well is when a need is
presented to us. We step up and fill that need.

St. Joseph Regional Catholic School in Salem will field four FIRST
LEGO League robotics teams this year. This will be our fourth year
competing as a school, said Lynn Tabianetijab, robotics team coach.
We have sent two teams in previous years. We are thrilled to be
sending four teams this year!
This years FIRST LEGO League challenge theme is World Class,
Learning Unleashed. As part of their research, the teams invited
Fred Bramante as an expert to the school to learn more. Well known
locally as the founder of Daddys Junky Music stores, Bramante is a
former chairman of the New Hampshire State Board of Education.
He described being charged by the governor with the responsibility
of leading New Hampshires first full-scale education reform effort
since 1919. Bramante described how New Hampshire became the
first state in the country to recognize that learning happens every
hour of every day, inside and outside of a classroom and school
year. He described the process by which NH grants school credit to
students who master subject matter outside the classroom.
For example, students who has been taking music or gymnastic
lessons since they were 7 years old should be able to demonstrate
they have already mastered school-required high school music or
gym class material. He also talked about his 1,000 Mentor program
which seeks to match student interns with professional goals to local

Many people dont understand the benefits of setting up a
revocable trust until they have experienced the probate process
after losing a family member. The cost and time that probate
requires can be both shocking and frustrating. The cost of an estate
administration must be paid with top priority from a decedents
estate assets. Sometimes this will force the sale of a family home.
What is probate? Probate is the court process of filing certain court
pleadings, collecting assets, noticing creditors, paying debts and
expenses, and distributing the remaining estate to beneficiaries
all under the supervision of the court over a period of time. It
requires paying filing, publication and fiduciary bond fees, as well as
other expenses. Even when there are minimal assets in an estate, it
can cost thousands of dollars and take longer than a year! The
good news is probate can be completely avoided with proper
planning and by using a revocable trust saving time and money.
There are many other great reasons for setting up a revocable trust
aside from probate avoidance. For example, if you have minor
children or grandchildren, you can avoid certain guardianship
proceedings. You can avoid certain guardianship proceedings for
yourself also if you become incapacitated. You can also have assets
held in trust and kept away from parents of minors, a beneficiarys
creditors or spouse, and even from a spendthrift beneficiary until
certain ages. Utilizing a funded revocable trust is also a way to
streamline the distribution of assets to beneficiaries. Larger estates
can benefit from a trust that incorporates certain federal and state
estate tax planning to defer or reduce federal and state estate taxes.

Boys & Girls Club Chief Professional Ocer Colin Hanlon attempts to take
home the gold but falls to Desjardins.

Plan and Protect Family

by Using a Revocable Trust

If your surviving spouse is not the parent of your children, you

should review your estate plan since your spouse has automatic
statutory property rights in your estate when you die. This means
your children may not get the percentage of your estate that you
anticipate. There are ways to fix this. You can also exclude a child or
other beneficiary from your estate plan - perhaps an illegitimate
child or an estranged family member. This is common - but must be
drafted a certain way to avoid litigation and that person from
asserting a right take a share of your estate as an heir.
The bottom line is anyone with minor children or real estate
(whether worth $100,000 or $5 million dollars) should consider
using a revocable trust as part of their estate plan.
You cant avoid dying, but you certainly can help your family with
this difficult process by planning now. Please call with any
questions.

Bruno Matas
Bruno Matas was a true
renaissance man who never
tired of learning, exploring
or mastering new things. He
ended his earthly adventure
on November 3, 2014, at the
age of 89, with his loving
companion, Theresa Gaudet,
by his side.
Born to Frank and Anna
Matas in Lawrence, MA, Bruno
graduated Lawrence High and
earned a bachelors degree from
Lincoln Engineering Schools in
New York City. A Bronze Star
veteran of World War II, Bruno
served in the 42nd Rainbow Division that headed
the Seventh Army. He served as a radio technician
and his expertise in electronics kept vital lines of
communication open. Following the war, Bruno
taught at the American Institute of Technology in
Chicago and New England Radio Communication
School.
In 1956 he realized his long-held dream of
working for Bell Labs in North Andover, MA,
where he was in research and development until
retiring in 1988, after 33 years at Bell Labs. Bruno
helped develop vital microwave technology that
transformed the field of telecommunication.

Quality,
personalized care

most successful and long lasting programs and

student opportunities. In 1974, he began the
first Adult Basic Education program that offered
opportunities to children and adults alike and
integrated in-district special education services for
students previously served in programs outside the
school district.
Dr. Johnson served as President of the NH
School Administrators Association, the President
of the NH Interscholastic Athletic Association,
and served on several committees of both
organizations. He was a member of the New
England School Development Council and was
a member of the New England Association of
School Superintendents. He was a member of the
Kiwanis, a Key Club advisor, a Boy Scout advisor
and he was on the Board of Directors of NH Red
Cross. He wanted to be remembered as a person
who brought students far more opportunities than
they had before his arrival.
He was predeceased by his sister, Jennifer
Tolaro.
He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Annette
(Boucher) Johnson of Salem; his children, David
and wife Kathleen of Hopkinton, Paula and
husband Kurt Schulz of Manchester, Mark of
Litchfield, Suzanne Johnson of Epping, and Donna
and husband Edward Mosca of Manchester; and
11 grandchildren.
A Memorial Mass was held on October 28 at St.
Joseph Church, 40 Main St., Salem, followed by
burial of the urn in Pine Grove Cemetery, Salem.
Contributions in Dr. Johnsons name may be
sent to St. Judes Childrens Research Hospital,

the charity of ones choice.
Arrangements are under the care of Douglas
& Johnson Funeral Home, 214 Main St., Salem.
Message of condolences to the family may be sent
to www.douglasandjohnson.com.

Study of all forms of energy led Bruno

to explore the fields of metaphysics and
the paranormal. He initiated a lunch hour
parapsychology club at Bell Labs that met weekly
for 11 years. A certified hypnotist, Bruno also
entertained as a magician named Satam, his name
spelled backwards.
A member of the Methuen Gun Club, Bruno
became an expert marksman earning awards
in several categories. His vacations were spent
in remote areas of New England and beyond
camping and panning for gold. The Swift River in
Byron, Maine, was a favorite destination.
Bruno was a respected friend of all who knew
him. We will miss the sparkle in his eye and his
mischievous smile.
He is survived by his loving companion,
Theresa Gaudet; daughters, Linda Goodwin of
Londonderry, Debby Davison of Santa Barbara,
CA, and Mary Matas of Chester; five grandchildren
and two great-grandchildren.
He was predeceased by his sister, Lillian Matas
A memorial service was held November 6 at the
Douglas & Johnson Funeral Home, 214 Main St.,
Salem.

Vanished Veterans - NHs Civil War

Monuments and Memorials. The Salem Historical
Society will host George Morrison who will share
his discovery of New Hampshires Civil War
memorials and monuments and the story behind
them. New Hampshire towns did not erect
monuments to prior wars, but the emotional and
family toll, unprecedented in American history,
drove the decision to honor our local soldiers and
sailors of the War of Rebellion. From Seabrook
to Colebrook, Berlin to Hinsdale, along Main
Streets and 19th century dirt roads, in city parks
and on town greens, in libraries and town halls,
and in cemeteries prominent and obscure, George
Morrison located, inventoried, and photographed
the fascinating variety of New Hampshires Civil
War Memorials. He shares his discoveries, from
the earliest obelisks, to statuary and artillery,
murals, cast iron, stained glass and buildings
dating from the 1860s to the 1920s. The meeting
is at 7p.m. at the Old Town Hall Museum, 310

Students in Health Science
& Technology are enrolled in a
unique two-year program that
prepares students for careers in the
health care field.
As part of the curriculum,
students study anatomy and
physiology. To help students
study the muscles of the body,
students built muscles on specially
designed manikins, an interesting
alternative to dissection. The
teachers, Mrs. Parent and Mrs.
Cook, call it Clays Anatomy.
They feel it really gives the
students a very different
perspective on how muscles
are attached to bones and helps
students understand how muscles
function.

Thumbs down to the good citizen of Salem

who complained that he/she was hung up in traffic
when the moving Vietnam Wall came to Salem
Depot and then to have the nerve and audacity to
visit The Wall on Thursday and complained, then
questioned who was paying for the extra police
detail and the lights being on for this event. I can
tell you exactly who paid for it. Bobby Mann,
Woodbury High School, Class of 1964, Tommy
Gaudette, Woodbury High School, Class of 1965
and Billy Loomis, Salem High School, Class of
1966. Their names were on that Wall.

scanned for an implanted microchip,
identifying the dog or cats owner. If
there isnt one, she will search through
the neighborhood that the animal was
discovered in, but if its owner is not found,
it is then brought to the towns kennel,
located at the Salem Animal Rescue
League. Officer Bliss will wait a few days
and then, if it is a dog, will post it on the
Granite State Dog Recovery web site. She
recommends that people use this site to
locate or post lost dogs.
Above all, Animal Control Officer
Corey Bliss wants to get the word out that
it is most important to take good care
of your pets, and to keep them properly
controlled, using leashes and good fencing
around your yard. Have them wear tags
and identity microchips, and be sure to get
them their shots when needed.

One of the most unusual animals that
she has had to deal with was a Peahen (a
female Peacock) that kept showing up at

Bliss would try to capture it, until about
a week later, when it was finally secured.

Wildlife nuisance calls are educational
calls for an animal control officer. When
Officer Bliss gets a call about an animal
in a residents yard or in a dumpster, she
captures it, and then teaches the person
about the importance of not leaving food,
or water or shelter in the area. In other
words, removing whatever it is that is
attracting the animals so they do not keep
coming back.
When the police department gets a call
regarding a stray dog or cat, Officer Bliss
is dispatched to the area of the animals

Norma was a grandmother in Sicily.

She loved her family, especially her
grandchildren. When they came home from
school she would cook for them. The secret
to her cooking wasnt in her recipe but in
the love she had for her grandchildren. To
see them enjoying the meal kept her young,
healthy and happy.
I will give you the recipe, but you have
to put the love into it for the ones who will
enjoy it.

Masked Gunman Robs Dunkins

by S. Aaron Shamshoyan
Though former Massachusetts Senator Scott
Brown (R) lost the New Hampshire-wide election
for U.S. senator to incumbent Jeanne Shaheen (DNH), he did receive a majority of Salems votes on
Tuesday.
Brown beat Shaheen by 2,300 votes in town but
failed to see the same results statewide.
Just over a week before the election, Brown
visited the Greater Salem Rotary Club speaking
on the direction he hopes New Hampshire would
head toward.
Brown said there are many conflicts going on
around the world that needed to be resolved.
The world seems on fire right now, he said
noting problems in Israel, Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq
and Africa. He said there was a complete lack of
responsibility and attention to detail, regarding
the issues.
Brown stressed the importance of stopping ISIS
from its continued acts of terror.
ISIS is the al-Qaida of Iraq, he said, adding the
U.S. did nothing to stop the group before pulling
out of the country.
Speaking about Shaheen, Brown said the race
was not about the candidates integrity but rather
their political beliefs. He said he respects the
senator but wanted to represent the state with
different views.
There are two good people running, he said,
adding they have both served in the senate at the

same time.
Brown said it was important to increase energy
sources in the state and country, adding electrical
costs are increasing as coal plants are being shut
down.
Governor Maggie Hassan advocated for
expanded natural gas through the state during her
campaign, hoping the resource would benefit both
businesses and residents.
The race was too close to call on election night,
with Shaheen pulling ahead before Brown gained
traction, but at one point the polls were tied.
Shaheen ultimately took the election only two

Fifth and Seventh Grade Salem Rams Become State Champs

submitted by Amy Dailey
Both the 5th and 7th grade Salem Rams football teams have won
their respective state championships.
The 7th grade Salem Rams completed the regular season 6-1
to enter the play-offs as the number-one seed. After defeating
Windham in the semi-final round 20-12 in overtime, the team went
on to defeat the Londonderry Wildcats 6-0 to capture the State
Championship on a cold blustery day in Laconia this past Sunday.
The lone touchdown was scored with 5 minutes remaining in
the game by quarterback Mark Kassis. The Rams offense was led
by Joshua Maroun with over 100 yards rushing. Londonderry was

driving within the Salem 30 yard line with two minutes left when
Dante Pistone recovered a fumble to seal the victory. Salems
defense shut down a Londonderry offense that scored a combined
83 points in their previous two playoff games. The defense was led
by Beau Dillon, Nick Donatio, Owen Gormley, Marcus Dominquez,
Brandon Wall, Riley Mulvey, Adam Berthel, Brandon Martin, Corbin
Brantmuller and Eli Aronofsky. The Rams will travel to Cumberland,
R.I. this week to face the Cranston, R.I. Chiefs in quarterfinal
playoffs.
Congratulations to the 5th Grade Salem Rams for also winning the
State Championship in Laconia this past Sunday. Salem outscored

the Derry Demons 31-0 to keep their undefeated season going. The
5th grade Salem Rams are headed to Cumberland, R.I., to compete
in the New England Regionals against the Fall River Falcons on
Sunday, Nov. 9. The team is lead by head coach Chris Fernandes
and assisted by Tommy Ahlers, Chad Goetz, Johny MacDonald, and
Jimmy Rau.
Parents and fans could not be more proud of the hard work and
commitment both teams have shown since beginning the season in
July. Keep up the hard work and best of luck on Sunday. Hard work
pays off!

LoVerde Proud to Wear the C for Monarchs this Season

submitted by Dan Ventresca
If you ask Vincent LoVerde whether he considered
being named captain of the Manchester Monarchs this
season, he answers with a swift no.
But then he catches himself in a lie.
I take that back, LoVerde said. It crossed my mind
a little bit.
A 25-year-old defenseman out of Miami University
in Ohio, LoVerde was named the 11th captain in the
14-year history of the Monarchs. He takes over the
captaincy from fellow blue-liner Andrew Campbell,
who played in Manchester for parts of six seasons.
Campbell received Manchesters Community Service
Award in each of the last three seasons before signing as
a free agent with the Arizona Coyotes. He returned to
Manchester for the first time as a visitor last Friday when
the Portland Pirates came to town.
Soupy was a great leader, LoVerde said. I learned
a lot from him throughout my two years with him
and before him it was Marc-Andre Clich, who I also
learned a lot from. You kind of learn stuff from them,
but at the same time, you cant try to be someone else.
Youve got to be who you are. But throughout the years,
youll pick up a thing or two that works well.
The Monarchs came into the season with a new
head coach in Mike Stothers and a roster that featured
seven rookies. To decide who would captain his team,
Stothers gathered a group of returning players for a
series of meetings that led him to name LoVerde the

Kn w Y ur Car

captain.
Being named captain of a professional hockey team
is a role completely unique to the sport. You are part
spokesman, politician, older brother and disciplinarian
for the club. Its a responsibility that LoVerde called a
privilege and an honor.
Youre kind of the voice of the team, but at the same
time, I ask my assistant captains a lot of questions,
he said. They help me a lot and youre just kind
of relaying messages back and forth. In terms of
responsibilities, I think obviously theres some stuff
thats tough to do or you have to have some tough
conversations. But part of the responsibility of being
captain is having those tough conversations sometimes.
A native of Chicago, LoVerde has posted a combined
plus/minus rating of plus-54 since his debut with the
Monarchs during the 2012-2013 season. He already
has a goal and an assist in the first five games of this
year. Hes established himself as a leader on the ice, so
now he feels comfortable taking on a leadership role in
the locker room.
Youve just got to be yourself, he said. Be who are
and not try to change who you are.
The job description of captain also includes
bargaining with the referees, staying as diplomatic as
possible when arguing a call. So hows the relationship
with the refs?
I dont know, LoVerde said with a laugh. I guess
youd have to ask them.

Time to Prepare For Winter Driving

Those lights
are telling you something
Fall is a time to prepare homes, vehicles and
even our psyches for the arrival of winter. To get
your car cold-weather ready, check and repair
these items now.
Tire pressure can drop in cold weather. When
tires are underinflated, you lose fuel efficiency, so
monitor and maintain tire pressure throughout the
winter.
Those who live in particularly cold climates
should switch from all-season to winter tires. Much
as you wear winter boots to provide more traction
and protection than sneakers, so should you equip
your vehicle with tires that will stand up to winter
terrain.
Check on the status of your battery and its
starting power. Cold weather can put more strain
on a car battery. A battery that is already weak may
not turn over when you need it most.
Replace worn wiper blades and upgrade
to a windshield fluid that is rated for subzero
temperatures. Each of these items will improve
visibility when winter precipitation is making its
presence felt.
Schedule an oil change at the beginning of
winter. Dirty oil can hinder cold-weather starts and,
if coupled with low coolant levels, can make it
difficult for the engine to turn over.
Keep jumper cables, a battery booster pack and
warning cones in your vehicle. These can come to
the rescue if your battery dies and youre stranded
on the side of the road.
While youre stocking the trunk or cargo bed,
include a shovel, sand or cat litter, a flashlight,
an ice scraper, water, and a blanket. These are
good emergency items to have in the event your
car breaks down in the winter. You can dig your
tires out of a snow drift with the shovel and apply

litter to increase traction. The blanket will come

in handy if you have to sit in a cold car for a

The Salem High School girls Volleyball team is ready to fight their way through
the NHIAA Division I Championship Tournament. While the Blue Devils are not the
top-seeded squad, they believe they are capable of upsetting any team as long as they
continue to battle when the odds, and the score, are stacked against them.
Weve learned to fight back and win games. They know they are never out of a
game, said Coach John Roemer. That fighting spirit was evident as the fourth-seeded
Blue Devils hosted Timberlane Regional High School on Wednesday, Oct. 29. I
thought they played really well. We stayed in our system, we played the way we should
be playing, we kept the ball active and in play, we played aggressive, said Roemer.
We fought.
Salem took the first set with a dominant, 25-14 set win. The Owls would not be put
away as easily in the remainder of the game. After Salem took a quick, 4-1 lead in the
second set, Timberlane tied the match and even took a commanding lead. At one point,
the Owls led Salem 21-17 and looked ready to clinch the second set to even the series.
In an impressive turn of events, the Blue Devils battled back to tie the match at 24
points apiece. Salem concluded their comeback with a second set victory that sapped
the Owls spirit.
It (the second set win) was definitely huge because it shows that there is fight. They
werent going to give up. It shows tenacity and a fight for every single point, said
Roemer. This team has been fighting all year.
Salem finished off Timberlane in the third set, 25-21, to advance to the quarterfinal
round, 3-0. Nicolette Fallisi led the Blue Devils with 15 kills, 12 digs, five service
points, and three aces. Ashley Matthews had nine kills and five service points. Rachel
Towler had 36 assists and nine digs. Ashley Conway had three aces while Nicole
Olivieri collected two blocks.
Nicolette Fallisi impressed me quite a bit and Rachel Towler did a nice job setting.
Ashley Matthews stepped up. Emily Thayer stepped up too with a lot of big kills today,
said Roemer.
On Saturday, Nov. 1, Salem hosted the fifth seed of
the tournament, Hollis-Brookline High School. The
Blue Devils powered past their opponents in three
straight sets (25-17, 25-19, 26-24) to advance to the
semifinals of the Division I tournament.
Fallisi again impressed with 16 kills, seven digs,
and five blocks. Matthews had 11 kills and seven
digs in the game. Rachel Towler led in assists with
29, while also earning 13 service points and three
aces. Sam Riel and Callie Dassler contributed to the
win with seven digs while teammate Rachel Amiss
had five blocks.
Nicole Olivieri blocks the ball against the Owls.
Salem returned to the court at Pinkerton Academy
to take on the top-seeded Merrimack High School on
Wednesday, Nov. 5 with the victor earning a spot in the Division I Championship finals.
Roemer and his Blue Devils understand the mindset they need to maintain as they progress through the
postseason. Our mindset is to keep playing who we are. Play aggressive, play to control the ball, and
fight for everything, said Roemer. As long as they believe they can win any game, its huge.
