Cars from the Very Old Historian Speaks on

NH’s ‘Sacrifice’ to the Civil War
by Robyn Hatch
The Salem Historical Society
recently presented a seminar
entitled “Granite State Sacrifice,
American Civil War 1861-
1865” given by David Closs.
Merrimack author David
Closs is on a quest to honor the
valor of some 38,950 Granite
State military men who fought
for the Union and to pay tribute
to the 2,036 men from New
Hampshire killed during the
Al Hulse, Salem, with 1950 Ford Civil War.
Closs, who served as a
Nashua police officer for
24 years, was born in Pearl
Harbor, HI, to a Marine Corps
family. He lived as a child
on numerous military bases
and credits his knowledge of
the values of the armed forces
for fostering the esteem he
holds for today’s servicemen
and women - and those of
yesteryear.
Closs, as an avid historian,
penned a book that investigates
New Hampshire contributions
to the Civil War. His book
Gerry Goyette, custom chopped Ford 1949 actually chronicles incidents
from the lives of 37 Civil
War soldiers. His book was
intensely researched and is
titled, Willing Sacrifice: Granite
State Valor during the American
Civil War 186-1865. This book
is an easy-to-read compilation
of wartime tales about

Closs is upset that the
sacrifices made by New
Hampshire residents during the
Civil War are not recognized
to a great extent in many
communities. He also notes
there were 18 regiments from
the Granite State that deployed
to states where fierce battles
took place. Infantry, cavalry,
and artillery personnel did their
duty. This year marks the 150th
anniversary of the beginning of
the American Civil War.
Not long ago, Closs had
contacted the office of
Governor John Lynch to
voice his dismay that the

legislation was in the making
that would offer recognition of
the 150th anniversary of the
war and this quest continues.
While it has also been

Salem’s Field of Dreams again filled the night with enjoyable
music by the band “The Paulies” from Bedford. This is an award-
winning band that has played all over Europe, Ireland, and the
United States. With four band members (Liam Spain, Paul Battaglia,
Chris Howe and Brian Richards) the music was very upbeat and well
known to the audience members.
Also, sitting in the audience was a beautiful lady who has recently
received a medal from Bedford as the oldest member of their town.

Everyone enjoyed this concert. Even Anna could be seen tapping

Can I Please Have Some More?
by Belinda Sinclair
We have all seen them. You know, the dogs that lie under the
table waiting for any morsel of food to fall, or worse yet, to be
handed to them. Then there are the dogs that nudge you with their
nose repeatedly as you are sitting down in front of the TV to snack.

Bonnie and Duncan, while I am trying to eat something if I don’t
keep them in check. Begging for food is in a dog’s nature. It is not
wrong, it is just rude. Most people will feed their dog from the table
or offer a piece of their snack to their canine “best friend” if the dog
wants some, and when has a dog not wanted something you are
eating?

World Dances Wrap up Summer Session

by Robyn Hatch
The Kelley Library presented One World, Many
Stories, Games Around The World. This session
wrapped up the whole series for children in grades
one though five featuring games from many countries
that have been studied in previous weeks. The
children learned and played games from China,
Africa, Liberia, Ghana and the United States. Corrie
Chicklas from the Kelley Library took the children
through the different stories and dances from other
countries. Although the kids got lost in many cases
right off the bat, this event still tired everyone out and
filled them with laughter and giggles. This was a great
way to get everyone tired and full of excitement from
all the unusual dancing.

Top 10 Easily Overlooked Back-To-School Essentials
Pens, pencils, erasers, paper - these are the
school supplies students need year after year and
are on almost every parent’s back-to-school shop-
ping list. However, that doesn’t mean they’re the
only supplies students need to survive the school
year with ease. Instead of waiting until your stu-
dent realizes what he’s missing once it’s too late,
shop now for these easily overlooked back-to-
school essentials.
“Most students have that ‘oh no’ moment once
they’re under a deadline and realize they don’t
have the right materials to complete it or when
they’re already stuck in a difficult situation,” says
Rebecca Smith of Master Lock. “Using past ex-
perience to think ahead and shop early will help
students - and parents - avoid those dreaded mo-
ments and navigate the school year a bit easier.”
1. Pencil sharpener. You’ve got the pencils, but
sharpening them can be a real hassle as not all
classrooms have a functioning built-in sharpener.
To help students avoid trips to and from their desk
during important tests, purchase a small pencil
sharpener with a built-in shaving collection sys-
tem that can be stored in a backpack pocket.
Creative and Affordable Ways
to Personalize School Supplies
It’s time to trade in the sunglasses, swimwear and
flip-flops for book bags, crayons and calculators.
The hustle and bustle of the back-to-school
season means shopping for all the new clothes,
electronics, books and supplies needed to start
the school year off right. Back-to-school shopping
can be difficult for students looking to express
themselves and for parents who face the increasing
expense of education.
Book bags, pencils and pens - even calculators
and rulers provide a palette for creative expres-
sion. A new and inexpensive way to add flair and
creativity to ordinary book covers, plain notebooks
and dull folders is to use Duck Tape brand duct
tape Sheets. The sheets are available in a variety
of colors including blue, white, red, silver, black,
green, purple and yellow. For students who really
want to stand out, sheets also come in prints, such
as zebra, leopard, camouflage and tie-dye.
Here are ways to add a touch of personalization
to school supplies and other belongings using duct
tape or other household crafting tools:
* Jazz up notebooks and folders with different
colors or prints for each class to make them quick
and easy to find when grabbing supplies from your
book bag or locker.
* Personalize a pencil case, lunch box or book
bag with your name so they don’t get lost in the

Tips For Furnishing Your College Habitat
Heading to college this fall? Whether
it’s your first year or fourth, you’re sure to
learn some things about college life that
you wish you’d known before walking
on campus. Here’s one of those secrets:
College habitats are almost universally
small, and how you furnish yours will have
a big impact on how well you enjoy and
perform in college.
Dorm rooms are notoriously snug
spaces. Even if you live off-campus in an
apartment, you’ll likely be sharing it with
multiple roommates, which can make the
space feel small. You’ll want furnishings
that fit your space, maximize efficiency

and that can hold up to the rigors of col-
lege living.
As you’re getting ready to furnish your
college habitat, keep these pointers in
mind:
Size counts
Because your personal space is likely
to be very limited, it’s important to keep
furnishings to scale. Dorm rooms usually
already have a bed that fits appropriately
into the space. In an apartment, a smaller
bed will almost certainly fit better in any
bedroom, especially if you’re sharing your
bedroom with a roommate. Twin is in
when it comes to right-sizing your bed for college living.
Your college habitat will also likely include a desk. In reality, you
probably won’t do much studying there, so your desk can be a great
place for your flat screen TV. Be sure to secure it with a mount. Prod-
ucts like Sanus’ Full-Motion Desk Mount make it easy to desk-mount
flat screens or computer monitors up to 30 inches, without the need
for any installation tools. Or you can opt for a mount kit. Sanus offers
one that attaches to furniture such as a desk or dresser, to provide a
more finished look. Both options are ideal when mounting your TV
on the wall isn’t possible.
If you live in a dorm, you’ll probably sit on the bed most often.
But for those times when you’re having guests, a folding chair or two
comes in handy. You can store them under your bed and then bring
them out only when needed.
Storage strategies

Thumbs Up?
Comments expressed in this column are the sole views of those callers and do not reflect the views of the Pelham~Windham News or its advertisers. Town and school officials
encourage readers to seek out assistance directly to resolve any problems or issues. The Pelham~Windham News editorial staff holds the right to refuse any comment deemed
inappropriate.
Thumbs up to the person who wrote in
about Rt 28 and how dumpy it looks, the traffic
islands have weeds growing in them and all
around them (3ft or better) you should take out
the islands, if you are not going to take care of
the islands, the dump is kept cleaner than Rt
28. Rt 28 need a complete makeover its ugly.”
“Thumbs down to the Assessing Department
for not keep up with the falling real estate
prices. Now the town has to pay all that money
back to Market Basket plus interest, don’t look
at home owners to pay for your lax assessing
practices. The Assessing Department has been
charging everyone way too much money for
a long time. Just look at the Eagle Tribune
paper real estate transactions. Everyone
who sells their house is charged about eighty
thousand dollars ++ more than the selling
price, plus 125% anything over 100% means
you are spending too much of the tax payers
money. Maybe the homeowners of this town
should start a Class Action Suit against the
town for being over taxed. Everybody who
owns commercial property is going to be
looking to see if they have been over taxed.
Assessing Dept. take off your rose color glasses;
things have been bad for tax payers for the
last 6 years. (Times are still bad) How many
Windham kids went to Salem High and now
they are all gone, not one teacher has been laid
off.”
““Thumbs down, way, wayyyy down to the
person that stole my check book. Yes I might
have been a fool for forgetting it, but the right
thing was to give it to the Hannaford store
service desk. I am not rich. I live like everyone
else. You will be taking food out of the mouths
of my family and take the roof off their heads.
So please do the right thing by returning it. You
know who you are.”
“Thumbs down to the Salem Police for
releasing the very disturbed pervert who
exposed himself in a very disturbing manner
with a cash bail of $340.”
“Thumbs up, huge ‘thumbs up’ to
Representative D.J. Bettencourt who did a great
job outlining the successes of the Republican
legislature at the Salem Republican Town
Committee meeting. Keep up the great work!”
“Thumbs up to Congressman Charlie Bass
for taking time to visit Salem and answer the
tough questions at the Senior Center about
what the heck is going on in our economy. His
answers were difficult to hear but honest and
reassuring.”
“Thumbs up to Congressman Bass,
Representative Bettencourt, and Selectman
Campbell for their efforts to fight for federal
funding of the Haigh Avenue project. Those
of us who have been plagued by springtime
flooding for almost 30 years appreciate that we
have not been forgotten.”
“Thumbs down. What a shame that Salem
Democrats have sunk to a new low with
their anonymous smearing of Representative
Bettencourt. As one of D.J.’s neighbors, I can
tell you first hand that when he is not serving
us in Concord he is here in Salem serving us.

For the good of their party Salem Democrat
Chairman Larry Disenhof should resign
immediately.”
“Thumbs down to Ellen Smith, whose
remarks regarding Selectmen Covey and
Roth on Stephen Campbell’s facebook page
were completely inappropriate (July 22nd at
12:22pm). Who are you, ‘Ellen?’ Are you
afraid to let the public know your true identity?
Guess it’s easier for you to operate under a
fictitious name so you can make as many
threatening, demeaning comments as you’d
like. And Stephen Campbell, shame on you for
allowing such commentary to air and remain
on your Facebook page. Publicity is one thing,
but blatant name-calling is quite another. Is
this how a selectman should be conducting
himself?”
“Thumbs up, to the Salem Animal Rescue
Legion for keeping the stray dogs off the busy
street of our wonderful town”.
“Thumbs down to the Salem Democrats
and their union friends who feel the need to
inappropriately pry into the private lives of our
State Representatives and their loved ones. Are
the politics of personal destruction all they have
to offer? No political arguments just pitiful
petty personal attacks?”
“Thumbs up, way up to Salem Representative
and NH House Majority Leader D.J.
Bettencourt. I don’t thank politicians very often
but Bettencourt is the exception. Thanks for
starting to reverse the destructive Democrat
Agenda that has been imposed on the State of
NH.”
“Thumbs down to Ellen S who has so many
derogatory comments about those who are
speaking out about Salem politics! Keep hiding
behind your postings on PH’s facebook page,
we do know who you are!...And for the person
that likes to follow town employees around…
better ‘Lawyer up’ again!!!”
“Thumbs down to Governor John Lynch.
How does he possess the shamelessness to
show his face in Salem when he refuses to
save our town treasure, Rockingham Race
Track by supporting expanding gaming? When
will Salem Democrats hold the Governor
accountable for his shameful position?”
“Thumbs up to Gov. Tim Pawlenty for his
professionalism and spirited presidential
campaign. It is greatly appreciated that he took
the New Hampshire Primary very seriously and
was a frequent visitor to our state.”
“Thumbs down, a big ‘thumbs down’ to the
dog owners on Haigh Avenue that allow their
dogs to bark constantly for hours. This happens

“A short-term visit turned into home.”
When Jane Takvorian realized her house was simply too empty without her husband and children,
she sold it. Jane had a fall, and other health challenges. “I knew I shouldn’t live alone, and I
didn’t want to burden my children,” Jane says. They visited Windham Terrace and the Executive
Director suggested a short-term stay as an opportunity to “try it out” for a month.
“They were sincerely interested in helping us do the right thing, ” Kim says. Today, Jane enjoys
playing bridge and having dinner with friends at the place she now calls “home.”
Do you have questions about the changing needs of aging? You too can“do the right thing” by
calling to learn more about assisted living, memory care, and short-term stays.
Thumbs Down?
“Thumbs up to House Majority Leader DJ
Bettencourt who, in a little more than six
months, has helped usher in sweeping reforms
for New Hampshire and has a record of
accomplishments that puts Governor Lynch to
shame.”
“Thumbs down to the Salem Community
Patriot staff person who did the layout for
page 6 of the August 12th paper. Perhaps next
time you have an article about the wonderful
achievement of a Salem High School Senior
you will think twice about placing it just above
the article entitled ‘Disturbing Man in Women’s
Clothing Exposes Self at Mall.’
“Thumbs down to children that do not care
for the older parents when they become sick
and can not be trusted alone or in public.”
“Thumbs down to Salem’s Town Planner.
‘A lot of that is reuse of existing buildings,’
Moldoff said. ‘We’ve seen a lot of that in the
last month and a half at the Planning Board
level. For the last month and a half, the phone
has been ringing.’ Ya, because vacancy’s are
occurring daily! We just lost a long time
business in the Depot, the Hobby Shop, and
how long has Sunoco been vacant not to
mention the Coke plant? How have you kept
your job this long?”
“Thumbs up to the person who has been
criticizing Stephen Campbell’s cheap shots on
facebook. It is obvious that it has gotten under
his skin. It has prompted his equally juvenile
supporters to comment too. It’s not a matter
of a person submitting a ‘thumbs’ comment
anonymously it about people that are supposed
to represent us that for whatever reason, cannot
refrain from juvenile behavior. Stephen you
need to stay off facebook and Pat McDougall
you need to take your own advice and do us all
a favor, ‘sit down and shut up.’”
“Thumbs down to the board of selectmen
meeting held on August 8 Where Elizabeth
Roth made a statement to Stephen Campbell
that was very unprofessional, very disgusting
and very disappointing. I believe that as a past
supporter of Miss Roth that she owes Stephen
Campbell a public apology at the next board
of selectmen meeting on the 15th of August. I
hope she will have enough class and respect for
her colleagues to make that apology public at
the next board of selectmen’s meeting. Thank
you, a very concerned citizen.”

turn others against you when you have done

that they find their hearts because they are not

“Thumbs up to Charlie Bass for coming to
Salem and listening to the people, why does he
think it will make a difference, he can’t change
anything.”
“Thumbs down to who ever is stealing my
copy of the Patriot from my mail.”
“Thumbs down to the Salem Selectmen for

do they also Twitter.
“Thumbs up to the Salem Police if it wasn’t

The RAYS (Rockingham Area Youth Swim)
summer season has just concluded with the
Granite State Championships in Manchester.
Fifteen Swim Teams and hundreds of athletes
competed in the Championship meet. The Ray’s
team had a successful season with many wins and
several swimmers breaking records.
The Manchester Swim Team and RAYS Summer

same venue.
The RAYS had numerous outstanding
performances in the Granite State Championships:
The 8 & under boys were led by Owen
Caprioglio and Bradley Valo.
Owen was first in the 25 Free and 25 back,

Major League Slugger Attributes Success to Commitment
by Chris White
On Monday night, some of us watched
Minnesota Twins slugger Jim Thome belt career
home runs number 599 and 600 against the
Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park. Thome became
only the eighth player in major league history to
join the 600 home run club (the seven others:
Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, Willie
Mays, Sammy Sosa, Alex Rodriguez, and Ken
Griffey, Jr.).
In a post-game interview, Thome was asked
what message about the game of baseball he
had for the Little Leaguers out there watching on
television, and what they could accomplish with
hard work. Thome replied, “Well, always dream.
I think if you dream big, dreams can come true.
And I think there’s always a commitment. There’s
a huge commitment in baseball and in all sports.”
Bingo! Thank you, Jim Thome. You just said
the magic words when you explained how those
dreams can come true - through commitment
to your sport. A player’s
Malley Electric
commitment is probably one
of the most underrated aspects
in any sport, at any level. It’s
sad to see how some coaches
evaluate the players on their 24-HOUR EMERGENCY SERVICE
team and what they base their Generator Systems - Fuses to Circuit Breakers
decisions on. System Repairs & Trouble shooting
For example, if a coach
had two players with about Rewiring Existing Homes - Main Electrical
the same ability level playing System Upgrades - Swimming Pools - Ceiling Fans
the same position, the coach
would most often choose to
www.MalleyElectric.com
play one player over the other
because of athletic attributes
like his size, quickness, or
upside. It’s very rare to see
a coach choose to give more
playing time to one of his less
athletic players who shows more
passion for the game and logs
more hours in the gym, which
can be a shame sometimes
because a more passionate,
dedicated player would be more
likely to leave it all out on the
floor for his team.
And yet, commitment isn’t
always understood well from the
players’ side either. A couple
weeks ago, I wrote an article
about why it’s beneficial to
participate in multiple sports
during your high school years.
But it’s not beneficial unless you
commit to each of your sports
appropriately, meaning the sport
that is in season takes priority
over your other sports plus other
extra-curricular activities like
work and vacation.
And in the summer, when
it’s time for all sports, you
have to let your coaches know
what you’re doing if there are
conflicts. All that’s needed is a
little communication between
player and coach, but sometimes
it doesn’t happen because some
players don’t understand the
importance of it. Therefore, they
don’t understand the importance
of commitment either.
This is why I’m bringing up
Jim Thome this week. I think we
can all learn a thing or two from
Bradley Valo
Individual Medley, 100 Medley Relay, and
anchored the 100 Free Relay to 2nd, he was third
in the 50 Free.
The Girls 9-10 - 200 Medley Relay team of
Hannah Pickett 10, Emi Caprioglio 9, Sasha
McNeal 10, and Ally Gillespie 10, took first, and
was second in the 9-10 age 200 Free style relay.
Individual winners included Sasha McNeil, first
in the 50 Butterfly, and in the 50 freestyle, second
in the 100 Free, Hannah Pickett, first in the 50
Backstroke.
Hannah Terry12, was first in the 200 IM and
third in the 11-12 girls 50 butterfly. Meghan
O’Connor15, first in the15-16 100 butterfly.
The girls 15-19 medley relay team of Julia
Bushell 16, Jessica Martin 16, Meghan O’Connor
15, and Tori Claverie 16, captured first place for
the RAYS. Julia also won the 100 Backstroke,
him. I’ve always hated him because he’s been
a Red Sox-killer over the years, but after I saw
that interview Monday night, I love him because
of what he said. That interview made me think,
“Hey, maybe I should listen more to what this guy
has to say.”
Think about how important his dedication
was to making him successful in baseball. After
hitting a milestone home run, one of the first
things he mentioned when giving advice to young
baseball players was to be committed to your
sport and you will be successful. Thome, one
of the seemingly few power hitters of the last 20
years not ever linked to steroids, is living proof
of this philosophy – the guy is a work horse and
has been playing in the majors since 1991. To do
that, you have to understand how to work hard
and love what you do.
Clearly, he understands what it means to be
committed. And on Monday night, he reminded
us of what it means to be committed too.

New-Look Blue Devils Gear Up for Football Season

With every new season comes new hope as well as new Salem football coach Jack Gati said. “This year, the seniors
opportunity, and there will be plenty of chances for Salem have stepped up and become leaders. They’re focused, they’re
football players to earn a spot in the Blue Devils’ regular line-up giving a lot of effort, and they’re improving.”

this fall. Salem is losing a lot from graduating all-state caliber
players in Max Jacques (running back), Mike Lorenz (receiver),
Andrew Ivas (offensive line), Joe Dipalma (linebacker), and
Matt Cannone (defensive back). However, the Devils also have
many players ready to step in and fill the void.
The Blue Devils have been working hard in practice as they
prepare for their opener at Keene on Friday, September 2 at 7
p.m. Players who normally haven’t gotten as much opportunity
to play during previous seasons are now showing what they are
capable of on the field in preseason practices and scrimmages.
Rehab Athlete of the Month
Over the last 11 years, the staff of Sports and Rehab has touched the lives of over 100,000
patients, helping injured workers return to their jobs and athletes to their sport. We have initiated
an award to recognize this special group of patients, the “Rehab Athlete of the Month.” Our
winners will be among those who have overcome great obstacles and sometimes severe
conditions in order to return to their sport.

Academy class of 2010, Shealyn is a Division I field hockey player for the Fairfield Stags. Six
months ago in the off season, Shealyn developed shin splints and Iliotibial band tendonitis and
could not run more than 3 minutes without pain. Being a high level college athlete, Shealyn
needed to resolve her pain.
She began Physical Therapy with Nicole Rogers, DPT here in our Derry office. Shealyn’s
treatment consisted of flexibility exercises for her hip musculature, strengthening of weak and
imbalanced muscles, and a current manual soft tissue therapy
called Graston Technique. Graston Technique effectively breaks
down scar tissue and reduces inflammation that causes and
restricts mobility.
Shealyn Testa has since resolved her pain and is back at school
ready to play Field Hockey. All of the staff at Sports and Rehab
wishes Shealyn GOOD LUCK!!

As it would be in any year, improvement will be one of the
keys to Salem’s success this season. Salem featured a high-
octane offense to go with a pretty good defense in 2010. This
season, the Devils will lose some of that offensive clout, while
they focus on improving defensively.
“I’m looking forward to us becoming a better defensive
team,” Gati said. “Last year, we had a balanced, high-scoring
attack on offense. This year, our offense will be effective but
probably not as high-scoring.”
Seniors Jerickson Fedrick (running back) and Nick Tilton
(offensive line) are the only two full-time offensive
starters returning from last year’s squad that went 7-5
overall and lost to Pinkerton in the Division 1 semifinals.
There are also other returning Blue Devils who have
Jerickson Fedrick, shown returning an interception for a touchdown against Bishop Guertin last
received playing time as reserves – Chris Fancy and year, will be a key player for Salem on both sides of the ball this season
Kris Phipps on the offensive line, and Mike Downing
and Abner Rodriguez at running back. Newcomers at staff photos by Chris White
running back Rasheed Adigun and Steve Bemister should
also provide depth to the backfield this fall, while Jon
Soldano and Ryan Nichols are currently competing for
the starting quarterback job.
The defensive line will be led by Dan Stacey, who
had a solid season in 2010, while Justin Lozowski has
also been doing a nice job at defensive tackle in the
preseason. Meanwhile, the Blue Devils are looking
strong at linebacker with Fedrick and Ricky LaRhette on
the outside, and Kevin Dembkoski at inside linebacker.
Jason Martinez has also been solid on both sides of
the ball as a running back and a defensive back in the
preseason.
It will be a bit of a wait for the Salem faithful to see
the Blue Devils play at home this season. The Devils
are on the road for the first two weeks of the season
and their first home game will be played on Friday,
September 16 versus Manchester Memorial. Kick-off is
Senior Dan Stacey will once again look to be an impact player on Salem’s defensive line in 2011
set for 7 p.m.
