Send us your pictures
Dec 3rd, 2007 by Dave Olson
We have some great photojournalists here at The Salem News. They regularly clean up in regional and national contests.
They can’t, however, make it to every event in the 13 communities we cover. That’s where we need your help. Send us photos of your special community events — holiday sales, Scout projects, Rotary events, etc. — and we’ll do our best to get them in the paper as part of our new feature, Scrapbook.
Hopefully, you’ve noticed your neighbors’ Scrapbook photos on our city and town pages. We want more, so send them along to scrapbook@ecnnews.com.
And a special thanks to Mrs. Selinger’s class at the New Beginnings Pre-School for getting us started with the photo of their Thanksgiving feast.

Hello Dave and readers,
I am getting very discouraged with EPA and OSHA and their determinations on what is Energy Star Seal. I have been fighting for this Seal for my clients and future clients for about 3 years+. This is a great story!!
The information has been done! It is proven that sticking with your old wood windows proves to be as much as 7 times cheaper to keep them rather than going with replacement windows. Also a good storm window will do the same thing as a replacement window for 1/3 the cost!!! ASTONISHING!!
All this information has been documented and printed in This Old House magazine, kind of bitting the hand that feeds them. The replacement window companies are BIG sponsors of TOH but they have told the TRUTH if you look hard enough. I have compiled so much information on the TRUTH about windows that I am in proccess of doing a documentory about them, “A BIT MORE INCONVENIENT TRUTH”
One of the reasons that these windows have STOOD THE TEST OF TIME is the growth lumber used. First growth lumber was very dense about 30-35 growth ring per inch. Todays lumber is quickly grown and harvested yielding 5-7 growth rings per inch. Homes that are 50+ years of age will have the old wood, so if you put in replacement windows in a home older than 50 years, you have DE-VALUED this building. YIKES!
And everyone knows that many European countries have banned the use of VINYL WINDOWS because they are 1000 times more TOXIC than lead paint poisoning. (well now you know.) Let’s stop the distruction of these Homes and building so generations to come can enjoy the superb craftmanship that was left to us 200 years ago. I have put a 100 year garentee on these windows after my service because,
THEY HAVE STOOD THE TEST OF TIME.
The Best Windows that money CAN’T BUY..
This is my way of fighting what is wrong, by revealing the Truth and talking about the deceptions from the major window Industries.
