turnaround and recovery from the past seven years of occupation? Obviously not, if one simply peruses the destruction and loss of life that continues almost daily from recurrent suicide bomber attacks, mainly concentrated in public areas, shopping districts, family gatherings, etc. But the nation is in far better shape now than even a couple of years ago, with a retooled army and police force, most of Baghdad’s and Mosul’s railways and buildings finally restored, as well as its people able to finally rejoice over their freedom from the yoke of the murderous Hussein regime, the sole undeniable positive benefit for Iraq’s surviving population. One of President Barack Obama’s campaign pledges to all of us in his 2008 campaign was for our nation to engineer a “responsible” extrication from this Vietnam-resembling quagmire, and last week, he made good on his promise, which should make all decent Americans rejoice—especially parents of our men and women currently in our fighting forces. The United States’ long-term commitment to Iraq will continue. But our soldiers’ days of serving as cannon fodder for the Bechtels and Halliburtons of America are thankfully over.
William F. Klessens - Salem Presidential Oath of Office Every president of the United States of America, from George
Washington to President Obama, has been required to pledge in an oath that they will protect and defend the Constitution and this country against all foreign and domestic enemies! It appears that President Obama may be slightly off-track with doing nothing about the threats to this country as he signs congressional bills proposed by his administration and backed by liberal, progressive Democrats in Washington, DC. For example: By not enforcing the immigration laws, Obama
puts Americans at great risk, with illegals having auto accidents, committing crime, taking American jobs, and getting welfare, which is a constant financial drain on our country, and forcing an all- liberal, Democratic healthcare bill down the throats of the majority of Americans, without revealing the honest, true costs of $1.3 trillion or even considering modification that may have made this better for all Americans. Apparently, our local Massachusetts-New Hampshire Congressmen never read the bill, or they would not have voted for passage. There is danger of having to borrow money from foreign
governments like communist China! They can dictate what our import and export trade will be, and even our protection of free Taiwan. The extreme regulations of the Financial Reform Bill have many loopholes that will be super expensive to the American people—same goes for the new allowed liberal banking fees, and now, the lack of protecting housing loans in Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac. The organizations that Democrats allowed to cause the biggest housing failure in foreclosure history may be free to do it again! Medicaid and Medicare—highest fraud in history! Obama said, “That the taxpayers lost 50 billion dollars in 2009.” Think if we could start to recover these losses. These programs are not protecting the American people of this
country, causing great hardship. We see nothing from this president but spending trillions of dollars. Apparently, Obama feels the big government can spend itself out of recession. As the song says, Americans are “15 tons and deeper in debt.” Unfortunately, the government has to borrow more money from foreign lenders. This repeated big spending cycle could cause the downfall of our free will and thinking values, as well as the rushing in of compliance taxation in 2011 to pay for socialist programs like in the countries of Europe. We need a big change in direction—”in something we can really believe in!” Free enterprise and conservative spending are needed to keep our freedom as a nation.

David L. Lanzoni Golf Tournament a Success
Jimmy Fund Golf extends a sincere thank-you to the organizers and sponsors of the David L. Lanzoni Memorial Golf Tournament held on August 2, 2010, at Campbell’s Scottish Highlands in Salem, NH. Special recognition and appreciation goes to David Lanzoni of Ellington, CT, who organized the fourth annual event. The dedicated sponsors, participants, and volunteers helped raise critical funds in memory of David L. Lanzoni to support lifesaving cancer research and care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. In 2009, this tournament raised over $18,200 to support the groundbreaking work of Dana-Farber’s doctors and researchers. 2010 marks the 28th year of Jimmy Fund Golf, one of the country’s largest golf programs for charity. From traditional golf tournaments and country club member events to mini-golf tournaments and all-day golf marathons, volunteers create golf fundraisers that combine their love of the sport with their desire to support the fight against cancer. Each event is an incredibly rewarding and fun way to support a great cause! The David L. Lanzoni Memorial Golf Tournament was one of the
many golf tournaments that will be held in 2010 to raise funds for the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber. American Airlines, Callaway Golf, Dunkin’ Donuts, Forty Seven Brand, the International Golf Club, and GateHouse Media New England are the presenting
sponsors of Jimmy Fund Golf. Nearly $74 million has been raised by these dedicated volunteers and sponsors since 1983.

Salem Farmers Market Gratitude
• Lot Line Stakings • Condo Conversions
G.Jeffrey, LLS Licensed Land Surveyor
How great is the Salem Farmers Market and all those individuals
who have been responsible for its success? Thank you! The spirit that it lends to this community is something that has not been evident here in town for quite some time. Everyone is talking about the market and visiting it regularly. I’m told it’s been a huge success and that most of the vendors who have participated have signed on for the remainder of the year. Are the products more expensive? Perhaps. And did I inhale a little too deeply when I paid $4.24 for two large (divine) tomatoes? Uh-huh. However, recently, after reading an article in AARP magazine addressing the value and experience of shopping in local markets and the spirit of just that, I was struck by the huge contribution that is returned and invested back into the community. In fact, this article said, “that when you spend $100.00 at a local business, $45.00 stays within the community. Spend $100 at a national chain and only about $14.00 recirculates.” I’m not sure about you, but that gave me pause, and really made me think twice before complaining about the price of local homegrown/ homemade products. And quite frankly, I’m definitely ready to trade the same old superstore sterility and packed parking lots for a little something more unique. Let’s keep supporting all that is local, and have lots of fun doing so! You reap what you sow, and you get what you pay for.

Outdoors Binoculars

Anyone who has spent much time in a deer stand, watching wildlife or even viewing scenery, is aware that using binoculars can improve the odds of success, as well as add to your time outdoors. Properly using binoculars will open your eyes to animals and scenery you may have never noticed otherwise. A good pair of binoculars can be a lifetime purchase, and will provide you years of pleasure. Some of the best values exist in the mid-priced roof prism

(straight-barrel design) binoculars. These are the binoculars that will do the best job for most individuals. Waterproofing should be a must in hunting binoculars, and most of the mid-priced roof prism binoculars offer this feature. Look for the most features you can afford, such as phase correction (coatings that improve brightness, color, and resolution), heavy rubber armor, rugged assembly, and nitrogen-filled. These were formerly available only in high-priced European optics. Now, you can purchase binoculars with these features in the $300-$500 range. Buying binoculars in the $50-$150 range will limit you to the Porro (shoulder design) prism binoculars. These binoculars will still give you nice, sharp optics, but you’ll have to accept the fact that the binoculars will probably not be waterproof and will be relatively fragile. The power of the optics is expressed as two numbers, such as

7 × 35. The first is the number of times magnification, and the second is the diameter of the objective lens. A larger objective lens makes sense during low-light conditions since it can capture more of the available light. Consider purchasing full- or mid-size binoculars rather than the small, compact binoculars that use 20-25 mm objective lenses. There is nothing wrong with owning a small, compact binocular, but it should not be your primary hunting binocular.
