The booth served more than 16,000 visitors on weekends during the busy month of October, the most successful year to date. Volunteers helped visitors from all over the world by offering them a warm welcome to Salem, giving them maps and sharing information. ]]> http://www.salemnews.com/puopinion/local_story_324004543.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:45:00 EST http://www.salemnews.com/puopinion/local_story_324004543.html Thank you for the beautiful pictures of our recent fundraiser included in the "Gatherings" section of The Salem News.
The feedback we have received from attendees has been absolutely amazing. When we started planning this event more than a year ago, we truly did not know what to expect. It was to be a first-time event to benefit a relatively new charity at a time when the economy has made people think more carefully about when and where they spend their hard-earned money. ]]> http://www.salemnews.com/puopinion/local_story_322235143.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 06:00:00 EST http://www.salemnews.com/puopinion/local_story_322235143.html The decision was by no means an easy one. Danvers recently renovated the Holten Richmond building, which now houses its middle school, and is in the midst of a major rehabilitation of its historic town hall. Swampscott recently opened a new building that houses its high school and senior center. And both are members of the North Shore Regional Technical High School District, which is seeking to build a new facility on the Essex Aggie campus in Danvers.]]> http://www.salemnews.com/puopinion/local_story_322235135.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 06:00:00 EST http://www.salemnews.com/puopinion/local_story_322235135.html http://www.salemnews.com/puopinion/local_story_322235105.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 06:00:00 EST http://www.salemnews.com/puopinion/local_story_322235105.html http://www.salemnews.com/puopinion/local_story_323002111.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:21:00 EST http://www.salemnews.com/puopinion/local_story_323002111.html For a long time, accidents had been a way of life. I lived a major portion of my lifetime waiting for the Derby/Congress intersection in Salem to be considered for the simple installation of four-way stop signs. Hooray!]]> http://www.salemnews.com/puopinion/local_story_323002017.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:20:00 EST http://www.salemnews.com/puopinion/local_story_323002017.html It's not every day that Danvers pops up on the national cable news. But it did last Friday morning when CNBC reported briefly about the meep incident at Danvers High School.
Seems that high school Principal Thomas Murray and some members of the student body have a difference of opinion about the use of the word.]]> http://www.salemnews.com/puopinion/local_story_323002044.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:20:00 EST http://www.salemnews.com/puopinion/local_story_323002044.html Apparently unwilling to answer a simple question with the obvious answer, which is that we're not, some people attempt to confuse the issue by insisting that something called "waterboarding" — by which a prisoner is made to feel as if he's drowning — isn't torture.]]> http://www.salemnews.com/puopinion/local_story_323001949.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:19:00 EST http://www.salemnews.com/puopinion/local_story_323001949.html http://www.salemnews.com/puopinion/local_story_321235748.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 06:00:00 EST http://www.salemnews.com/puopinion/local_story_321235748.html http://www.salemnews.com/puopinion/local_story_321235838.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 06:00:00 EST http://www.salemnews.com/puopinion/local_story_321235838.html The question lingers still, three days after the humiliation in Indianapolis.
For those who missed the sports disaster that visited New England late Sunday night, causing a restless, agitated night of sleep for many, here's the synopsis: Patriots coach Bill Belichick was just two minutes away from ending the Colts' dream of an undefeated season. His team had the ball on its own 28-yard line, but it was fourth down and the Patriots needed to gain two yards in order to hold onto the ball. ]]> http://www.salemnews.com/puopinion/local_story_322001653.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 00:17:00 EST http://www.salemnews.com/puopinion/local_story_322001653.html With the 2009 election cycle now past, it may very well be a forecast of what is to come in November of 2010.
It was an embarrassment to the Obama administration losing both gubernatorial elections in New Jersey and Virginia to conservative Republicans. Next up is the midterm election of 2010 for the Obama administration in which all of the U.S. House seats will be up for grabs and some in the U.S. Senate could turn the political tide in Washington in favor of the GOP — hopefully the more conservative variety of Republicans.]]> http://www.salemnews.com/puopinion/local_story_322001550.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 00:15:00 EST http://www.salemnews.com/puopinion/local_story_322001550.html http://www.salemnews.com/puopinion/local_story_322001521.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 00:15:00 EST http://www.salemnews.com/puopinion/local_story_322001521.html http://www.salemnews.com/puopinion/local_story_322001447.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 00:14:00 EST http://www.salemnews.com/puopinion/local_story_322001447.html I am writing to express my support for Marge Robertson, a 20-year cheerleading coach at Beverly High School who was recently told it would be best if she and Beverly cheerleading part company.]]> http://www.salemnews.com/puopinion/local_story_322001415.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 00:14:00 EST http://www.salemnews.com/puopinion/local_story_322001415.html The film explores those themes by illuminating the life and thinking of the main character, Larry Gopnick, an ordinary, conventional, family man living in the suburbs and commuting to his nearby job as a math professor at a small community college.]]>
