Lights Up the Night Dinner Dance

submitted by Sonny Tylus

The Salem Youth Baseball held its “Lights Up the Night Dinner Dance” on March 26 at the Harris’ Pelham Inn. The event included food, dancing, raffle prizes, and a live and silent auction featuring sports memorabilia.

All the proceeds will go to help paying for the newly installed lights at Michele Park, which is the big field where the older kids and the high school baseball teams play. With the new lights, the league will be able to extend games as well as the schedule. The event was to thank the volunteers who help run the league. Larry Phillips was honored with the “Volunteer of the Year and First Pitch Honoree for the 2010 Season” award. He has been volunteering and coaching for 10 years. When asked why he volunteered, he said it was “all about the kids.” He will be throwing out the first pitch when the league opens its season. Larry has been involved with Salem Youth Baseball as a coach, Board member, and volunteer for 15 years. His son played until the age of 16; that was three years ago, and Larry still makes it a point to come to the fields and help whenever needed. Some of Larry’s accomplishments are pretty much everything at Michele Park, he has been instrumental in repairing or rebuilding the fields, the equipment shed, dugouts, and a lot more. He has been seen down at the field at all hours making sure things are in order for the kids to play in a safe environment, and has never asked or wanted recognition for it—that’s why Larry

Singing and acting to “Sweet Caroline”

by Robyn Hatch

North Salem Elementary once again held their Quarterly Showcase Assembly for the students and staff. This was an opportunity for the students to reinforce their sense of community and to see what others were learning about, as well as a chance to share achievement in the arts. This assembly features one grade level, and this time, it was all about grade three.

Mrs. Gilliland, Mrs. Arnold, and Mrs. Mohaghegh’s classes sang about their learning unit on “Simple Machines” to the tune of “Sweet Caroline”— an adapted song written by Mrs. Gilliland. During the presentation, it was

North Salem also recently celebrated World Autism Day since the students spent much time studying the disorder. It was necessary that this be studied so that the students will be aware of problems that some of their friends may have. They learned that autism is a general term used to describe a group of complex developmental brain disorders known as Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD), which also includes Asperger’s Syndrome, Rett Syndrome, and Childhood Disintegrative Disorder. Many parents and professionals refer to this group as Autism Spectrum Disorders. The students also learned that autism now affects one in 110 children and one in 70 boys; more children will be diagnosed with autism this year than with AIDS, diabetes, and cancer combined; autism is the fastest-growing,
