The Smart Career Move!

by Lynne OberThe third annual Kiwanis PumpkinFest held

on the grounds of Hills House in Hudson was a delightful family affair from start to fi nish. Every year the PumpkinFest has gotten bigger and bigger. It was originally modeled after Keene’s PumpkinFest.

“It was a stressful week worrying about the weather,” said Kiwanis member and PumpkinFest organizer Mike Falzone. However, despite numerous bad weather forecasts, the rain did not come and it was a bright, breezy and sunny day.

Setup for the giant yard sale began at 7 a.m., and by 8 a.m., when the yard sale offi cially opened, the Hudson Kiwanis annual PumpkinFest was in full swing, providing a safe family day fi lled with activities.

“Our goal is to have this event be as free as possible,” said Falzone.

Classic cars began arriving shortly after the yard sale opened. By 9 a.m. they were displayed on the lawn of the Hills House. There were trophies, music and raffl es with the car show. By 10 a.m., when the craft sale

by Sue LaRocheIt was evident from the opening drive that the

Winnacunnet game plan put a lot of emphasis on their quarterback, and the Broncos had some diffi culty keeping Steve Cronin under wraps as they fell to Winnacunnet 27-14 on a wintery Friday night.

Winnacunnet won the toss and marched down the fi eld on a 19-play drive which was capped off by a touchdown to take an early 6-0 lead with 3:55 to go in the fi rst quarter. The Broncos could not put any points on the board even though Evan Anaya managed to pick off two passes giving the Broncos several opportunities to score.

It certainly was not an insurmountable lead as the Broncos came out to open the second half down 6-0. Despite two Alvirne possessions to open the half, the second courtesy of a fumble recovery by Derek Janko, the Broncos could not move the ball. Winnacunnet scored their second touchdown with 4:37 to go in the third quarter with a good PAT to make the score 13-0.

Late in the third quarter, Alvirne put together an 11 play drive and scored on a 26 yard timing pass from quarterback Jon Baldwin to Evan

Anaya making the score 13-6 with the missed extra point.

Two fourth quarter Winnacunnet touchdowns put the game out of reach as they increased their lead to 27-6. With 2:12 to go the Broncos scored on a 21-yard pass from Baldwin to Sean Sipsey, but the ensuing onside kick was unsuccessful and Winnacunnet ran out the clock handing the Broncos the loss.

“We got beat by a better team tonight,” explained Coach Bob Nimblett. “They controlled all aspects of the football game and we had no answer for the quarterback. They played power football and we could not match it.”

Baldwin had 2 touchdown passes on the night throwing for 80 yards and rushing for 32 more. Chris Goldsack had 40 yards rushing, while Vinnie Frasco added a combined 50 yards rushing and kickoff returns. The defense was led by Anaya with 2 interceptions and good defense by Derek Janko, Jeremy Baker, Tom Eldredge, Frasco, Baldwin and Goldsack.

The Broncos record drops to 3-3 in Class L play and they will host 1-4 Merrimack on Friday October 23.

by Doug Robinson Catharine Morris, of Catharine Morris Photography, and her husband, Bryant, will be volunteering their time and talents in an effort to provide ‘Portraits for Patriots’. “This is our way to give back to our community,” commented Catharine Morris, “and we wish to be able to provide every Patriot who is serving our country a collection of professional pictures of their family members for the holidays, free of charge.” Daughter to a disabled veteran and granddaughter to a Marine, Morris has long understood the sacrifi ces and the trials of those who serve in our military. “We want to open up our photography to everybody and we wish to take as many family photographs as possible,” continued Morris. “We wish to take pictures of boys, girls, newborns, girlfriends, boyfriends, moms, dads, grandparents, as well as entire families. There is no limit as to how many people are in the family. We just wish to help send to our Troops a piece of home.” Catharine Morris is a full-time wedding photographer who now resides with her husband in Litchfi eld. She has photographed weddings all over New England and Bermuda. Her passion for photography and education has made it possible for her to stay current with the latest trends in the wedding industry. Catharine received her bachelor’s degree in Business Management from the University of Massachusetts Boston, and a certifi cate in Professional Photography from Boston University’s Center for Digital Imaging Arts. She is a member of the following organizations: WPPI [Wedding & Portrait Photographers International, New Hampshire Professional Photographers Association, and Artistic Guild of Wedding Photo Journalistic Association. “Morris’ photography is not an ordinary photography studio who does things by the book. We are extraordinary and go above-and-beyond for all of our clients. Our products are top-of-the-line unique.” The photography sessions will be held beginning at 10 a.m. on Sunday, November 1, and then be repeated each Sunday during the month of November. “Mac’s Apples of Londonderry has been very gracious and has offered us the use of their beautiful apple orchards and ponds for our photo shoots. They will be directing those who

attend to the correct location.” Morris Photography will be offering a 5x7 as well as (2) 4x6 photographs at no charge to those who choose to have their pictures taken. Pictures will be ordered online from Catharine Morris Photography Website and then the pictures will be forwarded by mail to the family requesting the pictures. “In addition, Bryant and I will be including a CD with the fi nal images for each family, free of charge. Should any family order additional pictures online, all proceeds will be donated to a local food bank,” stated Catharine Morris. “This is just a ‘thank you’ from us,” commented Morris. “Each session will take 15-30 minutes each. Hopefully, we will take more than 91 family pictures, because that is the age of my granddad. I am very proud of him, my father, and every person who is serving our country.”

started, the grounds were also busy. This year there was a carnival and games for the children. Many came for lunch, and there was a wide variety of food vendors, from the good-old American hotdog to Thai or Korean food; fried dough, french fries, popcorn, drinks and yummy baked goods were also available. “We have over 65 vendors this year, which is our biggest,” said Falzone.

At 1 p.m., Bill Shontz’s Children’s and Family Concert began. Shontz is a musical icon who provides very enjoyable family music. Appearing with Madman Dan Katsnitz, Shontz thrilled the audience with toe-tapping songs that they could sing along with him. He spent 20 years with RosenShontz, and is a spokesperson for EarthWatch and Green Up Vermont. He is also the founder and CEO of the Children’s Music Hall of Fame (website www.childrensmusichalloffame.com).

Many families made a trek across the street to see the Petting Zoo and Alvirne Barn. Alvirne Forestry students put on a demo of their lumberjack skills.

Hudson Police brought their crime scene van

and had it displayed with pieces of

evidence that might be collected at a crime scene.

The police van was one of the most popular and most talked about attractions at the event.

At dusk, there was a pumpkin

glow and all got to enjoy the carved

pumpkins at their very best.

submitted by Jaqueline Martone, President, Jackie’s Clean SweepJackie’s Clean Sweep is proud to announce that on October 1,

we became Partners with this amazing foundation called Cleaning for a Reason, providing free professional housecleaning services for women undergoing treatment for cancer. The Cleaning for a Reason Foundation is the only national non-profit organization in the country doing this type of philanthropic work.

Cleaning for a Reason was officially founded in May 2006 as a Texas non-profit corporation and has 5016 tax-exempt status from the IRS. Deborah Sardone, the founder, is a 25-year veteran of the housecleaning industry, and since 2007, this one-of-a-kind foundation donated over $240,000.00 worth of cleaning services nationwide.

As a local independent business, I felt no hesitation when we had the opportunity to become founding partners. I feel this is a perfect way for us to give back to our community that has shown so much support for Jackie’s Clean Sweep. Fighting cancer is difficult enough; living with it is even tougher. So help us spread the word about this extraordinary organization. I truly believe that our communities will benefit by the efforts that myself and all the other partners across the country give daily, and I hope

that through our joint efforts, we can bring more awareness that these services are available to the women of our communities at the most difficult time in their lives.

Jackie’s Clean Sweep Partners for a Cause

by Len LathropIf you left your axe

head at the Kimball Hill property prior to 1967, like the “Craftsman’s Guarantee,” you can have it back! Please give them a call and it is all yours.While cutting and

splitting wood for their parents, the McGraw children were puzzled when the log splitter came to a hard shoulder wrenching stop in the middle of a piece of Hickory. Close examination found an axe head securely embedded in the old tree. It was not visible until the log was split. The few questions for the McGraw’s, who have lived on Kimball Hill since 1967, was which one of

the now adult kids do you think left the axe in the tree? No one would “fess up” and Dick

McGraw, believes that it must have been left before they moved there, as he has never lost an axe head in all the years of burning about 4 cords of wood every year to heat their home. It took over 43 years and 128 cords of wood to fi nd, but the mysterious treasure has caused a lot of conversation at the McGraw household; do you know who it belongs to? Contact the Area News Group at 880-

1516 and we will put you in touch with Esther.

by Master Patrol Offi cer Christopher T. Cavallaro, Hudson Police Department and Doug RobinsonA few months ago, Hudson Police Department’s Master Patrol Offi cer Christopher T. Cavallaro was selected

to be New Hampshire’s representative to participate in the 2009 Law Enforcement Torch Run for the Special Olympics World Games. The following story memoirs his experiences, thoughts, and feelings with regards to personal honor he felt having been selected, as well as his feelings to having participated in the Special Olympics World Games.“Well, I’ve been involved with the Special Olympics of New Hampshire for just about six years now and

had the honor of being selected to represent my State as a runner at the 2009 Law Enforcement Torch Run which took place in Boise, Idaho. This experience was truly a humbling one and really opened my eyes to just how globally huge and important the Special Olympics really are. Defi nitely would not call myself a

softy by any means of the expression, but certain moments nearly brought me to tears. Notice I said ‘nearly’,” begins the memoir written by Master Patrol Offi cer Christopher T. Cavallaro.Cavallaro has been a Hudson police

offi cer for the past seven years.“After my fi rst year on the job, the two

Hudson Special Olympics volunteer offi cers, who had volunteered their time for many years, decided to step down and give someone else a chance to become involved. I was approached and asked if I would like to take one of their positions. Born, raised, and educated on Long Island, NY, I remembered the Special Olympics taking place and my classmates volunteering. Unfortunately, I was a wrestler and the games usually took place during the wrestling season and I was not able to volunteer. While attending college at Norwich University, I had the opportunity to volunteer for the Special Olympics there as well, but I chose not to again. Looking back, I wish I had. So, when I was asked by my peers to volunteer, I gladly jumped at the opportunity to fi nally become involved with the Special Olympics organization.”Throughout the years, Cavallaro has

led the Hudson leg of the Special Olympics Torch runs and also

presented medals to the athletes at the various games, which include the Regional Spring Games in Hudson and the State Winter Games held at Waterville Valley.“The feeling I get when handing a medal to an athlete is rewarding in itself. Watching them compete and

truly give it their all for the spirit of competition is amazing. These Olympians don’t get televised fame and fortune. They don’t get major commercial endorsements by Nike, Adidas, and Champion. Yet they still do it, and give it their all every time. That is the mark of a true athlete. That is what should be admired.”Carol Cray (Director of Volunteers and Liaison for Special Olympics New Hampshire, SONH), called

Cavallaro and asked him if he would be willing to represent the SONH in the 2009 Special Olympics Torch Run leading up to the World Games.“I was instantly fi lled with excitement and I thought back to the past NH Torch Runs.”In thinking about the World Winter Game and runners telling all about their own experiences in Ireland and

China, Cavallaro thought to himself, “Sweet!” With thoughts of a trip to Italy, Germany, Norway, and Poland, Cavallaro accepted the offer and was honored. When he asked where the games were going to be held, Cray replied in his usual happy chipper voice, “Boise, Idaho.”“I believe there was a brief moment of silence after that. All I could

think as I hung my head was ‘potatoes.’ Quickly and suddenly, I snapped out of it and realized what an honor it was to even be chosen for this. I would be representing my State, the SONH, and all the athletes I had presented awards to all these years. Wow! I could not wait to tell everyone I knew, and that’s just what I did.”Like all athletes, Cavallaro was to be assigned a roommate at the

Winter Olympics.“My roommate was listed as a Nathan West from Queensland,

Australia and there was an asterisk next to his name. As I read down the page, I noticed a legend at the bottom noting that the * next to a person’s name meant that they were a Special Olympics Athlete. At home, all I’m responsible for are my two dogs, and now I’m going to be responsible for an athlete? Another list showed that I would be giving a speech after one of our runs, and sure enough, I would be giving the fi rst speech on my run team.”The Olympic Torch Run began in Spokane, Washington and

continued throughout many, if not most, of the towns in Idaho, then ending in Boise, Idaho. The run was to take 12 days and cover 80+ miles through the mountains and valleys of Idaho.“After kissing my wife goodbye and a quick strip search at airport

security, I was in the sky anticipating the week-and-a-half of running ahead of me. After landing in Spokane, the runners were all warmly greeted by the Law Enforcement Torch Runners (LETR) Support Team. Now being from New Hampshire, I’m pretty used to the cold weather, until I set foot outside for the fi rst time. Wow, was it cold. We were all directed into a bus and shipped to our hotel. At the hotel, we were once again warmly greeted by more Support Staff and given the itinerary for the day and our room key. As I lugged my bags upstairs and opened my room, I was excited and a little anxious to meet my roommate. After emptying out my bags and hanging up my uniform, my roommate walked in. With an Aussie accent, he greeted me and we talked for a while. What a great person to room with. I had lucked out and could not have been happier.”Cavallaro learned that Nathan was 24 years old and was a soccer goaltender for his team in the Aussie Special Olympics, winning several medals with his team in Sydney and China. He has been involved in Special Olympics for nine years and also played cricket and basketball. He had never seen the snow before arriving in the States and was excited.“I then went downstairs to receive my gear for the days ahead. I was

handed a giant Columbia bag with my name on it and headed back upstairs to my room. I opened the bag and was amazed at all of the quality Columbia cold weather gear we were given. It was really top-notch stuff and it was all embroidered with the 2009 LETR logo. Next stop was back downstairs to meet my team for the fi rst time. I was to be a member of Team 9, and what a great team I would come to realize it was. We had police offi cers from all over, including Alaska, California, Nova Scotia, China, Holland, North Carolina, and West Virginia. My team was soon fi ttingly known as the misfi ts.”Bright and early the next morning, Team 9 sported our new gear and

loaded onto the buses headed to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, where the First Lady of Idaho would receive the torch and pass it on to the LETR to offi cially begin the Torch Run.“The scenery was amazing in Idaho. There were rolling mountains

and pristine lakes and rivers everywhere. For a mountain man like me, this was heaven. After receiving the torch, we kicked off our fi rst run. Before becoming a cop, I was in a military school and was accustomed to running information. I could quickly tell that several of the others were not. Slowly the kinks seemed to work themselves out and we started to run together as a unit, calling out cadences. As we ran through the streets, the people would look and cheer us on. The atmosphere was very kind and inviting.”“The second day marked the day I would deliver my speech,”

commented Cavallaro. Their fi rst-day run started at the Canadian border where they were greeted by the Canadian Royal Mounted Police.“We then made our way down through Bonners Ferry, Idaho where

my speech would be given. I worried about my speech and how it would be received while leading the pack with the torch as we ran. I am not that great of a public speaker.

TaxesThe part in last week’s Hudson~Litchfi eld

News editorial dealing with the Rooms and Meals Tax was right on. In a recession, when people are hurting, increasing taxes rather than cutting spending is shortsighted. Increasing spending and increasing the size of the budget, when most other states (and most people) are cutting back, makes no sense. But the topper has got to be spending that additional money gathered from this Rooms & Meals Tax increase on a non-essential project; now that is truly incomprehensible.

First a bit of background. Prior to this year’s tax increase, the Rooms and Meals Tax was 8 percent. So for every $100 a person spent on lodging or eating out, that person would pay an additional $8 to the State of New Hampshire. With the new tax, that person would pay an additional $1 for a total tax of $9 (now that is a jump of 12.5 percent in the tax). The new budget law also applied the Rooms and Meals Tax to areas that hitherto hadn’t been taxed, specifi cally campgrounds. So now we don’t just tax people who eat out or stay at a hotel, we tax them if they bring their own food and pitch a tent.

But back to the point. As the editorial pointed out, some $700,000/year in additional money has been allocated to the Bureau of Travel and Tourism. What the editorial didn’t mention is that this increase comes specifi cally from the Rooms and Meals Tax. A new provision was written in the budget bill saying that 3.15 percent of the net income from this tax that would be going to the general fund will be credited to the Bureau of Travel and Tourism. That works out to around $700,000. Now I am not advocating doing away with the Bureau of Travel and Tourism. Far from it. However, I cannot conceive of how an increase in spending on Travel and Tourism could be considered so essential as to warrant in increase in spending and a tax increase, especially in these hard times!

And there is an additional irony in this mad hatter’s tale. By statute, the proceeds from the Rooms and Meals Tax are to be shared with the cities and towns. In the last budget, that averaged about $58 million. So, you would fi gure that with this huge increase in the Rooms and Meals Tax, the struggling cities and towns would get additional money to help local offi cials not only meet the needs of their communities but also to fend off property tax increases. Well, guess again.

The new state budget freezes the revenue sharing for cities and towns at the last budget’s level. So the state gets to keep all the money from the tax increase. Actually, we probably should consider ourselves lucky because the original governor’s budget proposal was to do away with revenue sharing from the Rooms and Meals Tax entirely and have the state keep everything!

In closing, last week’s editorial underscored the fact that times are hard and that state government needs to tighten its belt and not add to the burden of an already over-burdened taxpayer. State government needs to cut

back at least to the point where expenses can be covered by existing revenues, not by tax increases. And, above all, the ruling majority party has got to radically change their attitudes that tax increases are the only answer. I wouldn’t hold my breath, however, as they are having an “Economic Summit” this week to discuss “revenue sources.” And what is the centerpiece of the summit’s discussion? You guessed it, a State Income Tax.

Representative Andy Renzullo - Hudson

Nobel Peace Prizeof Political Interference

A local daily newspaper recently published an editorial with snips from the online comments page regarding the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to our President. Some of the snips were political. One from a person in Hudson suggested that Republicans were distraught at the President receiving such a prestigious award. Maybe this year’s award was not all that prestigious.

In looking at the award itself, the Norwegian panel seems to have fallen into a dismal vat of self-serving goo. Yes, historically Barack Obama is the President of the United States. The Nobel Peace Prize, however, was intended to be given to someone who had actually done something. Alfred Nobel declared in his will that the prize should be given to “the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies, and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.”

Our President has not been in offi ce long enough to do any of that. He may, but that is pointless speculation. Consider who was nominated in 2007 and who won the award that year. In the 2007 class of nominees was a slight woman, a nurse beaten nearly to death by National Socialist Workers’ Party Gestapo who actually did something. Irene Sendler took her life in her hands and smuggled out about 2,500 infants from the Warsaw Ghetto.

Obama clearly did not meet the prerequisite established by Alfred Nobel. A “looser” of the award, without a doubt, clearly acted in the traditions sought by Mr. Nobel of “those who, during the preceding year, [who] shall have conferred the greatest benefi t on mankind.” The Prize committee dishonors the intent of the prize and the recipient by its award.

Thank You for a Successful PumpkinFest We would like to take this opportunity to

thank all of the organizations and volunteers who helped make last weekend’s Kiwanis PumpkinFest a success. Rather than listing all the names and

possibly, or more likely missing someone, over 50 folks lent a hand in one-way or another.

Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world one child and one community at a time. Our goal was to provide a fun

event for families and children, and with over 2,000 people attending and beautiful fall weather, we were thrilled with the day’s outcome.

We would love to involve more of the local groups and organizations in next year’s PumpkinFest, and are open to ideas and suggestions.

So again, thank you- everyone for all your hard work! The Pumpkin is always oranger on your side of the patch!

Mike Falzone and Norm Cloutier, Kiwanis of Hudson - Hudson

Lowell Road Sidewalk ProjectLowell Road Sidewalk Project is fi nished, and

I would like to thank Road Agent Kevin Burns, Jess, Jay, and Jeff, with the rest of the highway department, who worked on the paving of Lowell Road Sidewalk Project. With the cooperation of the Highway Department, we were able to pave 2,200 feet of Lowell Road instead of the 500 feet that the project plan called for. They have been a big help for this department to utilize them for this project with traffi c control in which they kept two lanes open at all times and working with the paving company that the job came out so good.

This is the second Municipal Managed Project from the Department of Transportation (DOT) that we have done, and will not be the last. The Highway Department deserves a lot of credit for a job well done.

Gary L. Webster, Acting Town Engineer - Hudson

Firefi ghters Relief Association Thanks You

In the middle of September an e-mail request for blankets was made by retired Deputy Fire Chief Charlie Chalk, who lives in the Colebrook area. The request was made to assist the Helping Hands Agency of Colebrook to provide blankets for families hit hard by the economic times and closing of several businesses and factories in the area.

The Hudson~Litchfi eld News ran an article for the Hudson Firefi ghters Relief Association looking for donations of blankets. Within a few weeks, over 350 blankets had been donated and were delivered to the Helping Hands Agency. Shortly after the blankets were delivered, fi refi ghters learned of a second need of clothing. A second Drive was started, and the response to assist the residents of Colebrook became a community undertaking. Within a week, an 18-foot box truck was fi lled end-to-end and delivered to Colebrook on October 13.

The outpouring of donations and support by residents, town employees, school district employees, school children, members of the fi re department, Hudson~Litchfi eld News, and Confi dential Shredding brought this Drive to levels well exceeding expectations and bringing Helping Hands volunteers to tears.

The community support has moved past Colebrook. With the amount of donations, the doors now have been open to towns as far south as Lancaster and north to the Canadian border.

To the community of Hudson, your fi refi ghters, Helping Hands, and the community of Colebrook are grateful for your donations and support. Thank you very much.

David S. Morin, President of the Hudson Firefi ghters Relief Association - Hudson

New Senior Council MembersThe Hudson Senior’s Council on Aging is

pleased to have the opportunity to announce three new members to the Council. Interviews were held at the meeting of September 16, and the Council voted unanimously to accept Barry DesLauries, John Knowles, and Daniel

Zelonis to fi ll the vacant seats. Daniel Zelonis was also elected Treasurer.

Exciting things may be happening for the seniors in the next year, so having a full Council is encouraging. Please join us in welcoming our new members.

State Savedfrom Federal Fines

Recently, nationally respect fi rearms legal expert Evan Nappan addressed a problem that may have cost the state $10,000 per incident and, more importantly, the loss of status as a Point of Contact (POC) State, National Instant Background Check System (NICS) participant. Some press articles seemed to suggest that confi scated fi rearms would now be returned without any verifi cation of the eligibility of recipient to own or possess fi rearms. That is not the case.

The NICS system is exclusively for Federal Firearms Licensees. The use by New Hampshire law enforcement is a federal crime. State Law Enforcement can still, and should, perform both Triple I and NCIC (criminal background) checks. Police must determine if any restraining orders are in place. That is not only legal; it is a sound law enforcement activity.

Interestingly, a recent Department of Justice report stated that 1.35 NICS requests were made for every one fi rearm purchase request. Granted, this is a government operation and is subject to duplication, but a large portion of that 35 percent overage may be due to illegal NICS requests by law enforcement. This then slows the system and makes it more likely that an unauthorized person may secure a fi rearm. As the synopsis of the report states, using the system correctly will likely “reduce or eliminate replications, possibly facilitating the reporting of a true (i.e., higher) denial rate.”

Attorney Nappen saved the state tens of thousands of dollars in fi nes, prevented criminal sanctions being applied to several local police departments, and helped create a more accurate background check system. Thank you for your diligence.

Afghanistan Debacle On The Horizon?

President Obama is trying to decide our military strategy in Afghanistan. He is mulling over input from his civilian and military advisers, and members of Congress, but he cannot make a timely decision because of his lack of military and national security experience. His community organizing background is not very helpful in this situation.

It appears he will follow a path of political compromise similar to the policies that handcuffed our military in Vietnam. Obama is attempting to stifl e his generals and turn them into Obama puppets, which will kill initiative and inhibit candid assessments of the war. This is a recipe for disaster in Afghanistan and could produce another war dominated by unsound military decisions made by politicians.

Predator drones, air power, missiles and mechanized armies cannot defeat the Taliban and al Qaida because of the extremely rugged terrain that is home to these fi ghters.

General McChrystal should receive the additional ground combat troops he requested, including special operations forces; and we need to speed up the training of the Afghan army.

We need a decisive military strategy for Afghanistan, not the indecision exhibited by the Obama Administration, which could lead to a debacle. If Afghanistan goes, Pakistan could follow.

Rhona Charbonneau Thank You

Please allow me the opportunity to express my gratitude to all of those friends and neighbors who so generously sent cards, fl owers, prayers, and blessings throughout my convalescence. I truly wish I were physically able to write by hand to each of you, but my lack of vision prevents me from doing so.

Meanwhile, I want you to know how much I appreciate all the prayers you’ve sent my way. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined the outpouring of love and support you have provided. You’ve given me the courage to keep going, despite the fact that I still have a long and challenging road ahead of me.

I am grateful to be alive and think of you with a full heart as I remember the many occasions we’ve shared together. Blessings to all of you.

Rhona Charbonneau - Hudson

Kienia Road FireOn Friday, October 2 at 8:07 a.m., the Hudson Fire Department

responded to an incident on 26 Kienia Road in Hudson. Homeowners Jean-Paul G. and Kim Fauvel reported a fi re caused by clothing and other combustible materials that had fallen behind and underneath a bureau and were ignited by the electric wallboard heater behind the bureau. Firefi ghters Kevin Blinn and Ben Crane, Engine 1, were on the scene within four minutes, and reported nothing showing from the outside of the home. However, upon entering the home, they found a heavy concentration of smoke from a smoldering fi re behind the bureau. The most probable cause of the fi re is accidental. Reported damage includes smoke damage to the room and fi re-damaged clothes behind the bureau.

submitted by Dave LecrawThe Alvirne High School Bronco Marching Band and Color

Guard performed at Salem High School Stadium on Saturday, October 10 for a spectacle of precision, pageantry and musical performance. Alvirne High School performed in exhibition along with fourteen other schools from New Hampshire, Maine, and Massachusetts hosted by the Salem Marching Band and Color Guard. Alvirne’s show blended music and motion to “3 Classic’ Rockin’ Hits of the 70s and 80s” featuring We’re An American Band by Grand Funk Railroad, Anyway You Want It by Journey, and Love Shack by the B-52s. The University of Massachusetts-Lowell Marching Band performed in exhibition to close the festival.

With over a thousand performers participating and several times that number watching from the stands, the stadium was as full as it would be at any football game. Under clear skies and a fall chill in the air, band after band took the fi eld, decked out in spotless uniforms and plumed hats. The fl ags of the color guards twirled as the lines of musicians moved in precise formations, drums thundering through the stadium, and stadium lights glinting off the gleaming tubas, fl utes and horns.

This event was an opportunity for bands to make new friends, demonstrate their musical spirit, measure of themselves against other bands, and learn from the feedback they receive from professional marching band judges.

Mr. Bastien, the Alvirne Music Director, said, “We had a great time, the band and color guard performed as I expected they would - “Eyes with Pride.” Once again, the Salem Band Show was a positive experience for everyone. Students continued their friendships from other bands, new friendships were made, I had a chance to “hang” with some of my director friends, the hot dogs were great and the hospitality was exceptional.”

October couldn’t chill the hearts of many locals and deter their efforts to help a family in need.

Despite Mother Nature’s attempt to dampen a day of outdoor fun, about 200 people joined together to support the family of Sofi e McPherson in this year’s, The Great Pumpkin Run that took place on Sunday, October 18 in Windham. Sofi e, who is from Litchfi eld is only three years old and suffers from a brain tumor. All money raised from this event went directly to the family. To date, more than $5,500 has been raised and donations are still being accepted.

Winners of the 5K race were: Stephen Stanley (fi rst place), John McGarry (second place) and Elliott Lebsack (third place).

Ecosystem-based Management

ChalkCharlie

with

The Obama Administration recently released a management plan for the oceans and Great Lakes that could have a huge negative impact on fishing in coastal areas. The plan is found at www.whitehouse.gov/assets/documents/09_17_09_Interim_Report_of_Task_Force_FINAL2.pdf. The policies outlined in the report will govern federal ocean and Great Lakes waters.

The report focuses on shifting to “ecosystem-based management as a foundational principle for the comprehensive management of the ocean, our coasts, and the Great Lakes.” Of particular concern to many organizations is the absence of any reference in the report to the positive impact recreational anglers have on aquatic conservation. Instead, it raises an alarm as to what the framework for zoning in these waters will be.

The consequence of that framework could result in severe restrictions including the elimination of many popular, historically important recreational fishing areas. Numerous conservation organizations have publicly stated their concerns over this plan. Rob Sexton, U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance vice president for government affairs stated, “If access for fishing becomes overly restricted, there will be a significant decline in resources dedicated to future conservation.”

Prudential Verani Holds Coat Drivesubmitted by Deb St. Clair

Prudential Verani Realty’s eighth annual Coat Drive is off with a bang! In our first week we have collected and distributed over 300 coats, and we are sure that we will continue to collect and donate many more through the December 1 deadline. Each Prudential office is doing its part to help gather as many coats as they can. Glenn Joziatis of our Nashua office, for example, has partnered with Barlo Signs that has generously donated a sign to promote the Coat Drive. The sign is currently located next to the Prudential Verani Realty sign in front of our Nashua office on 125 East Dunstable Road.

Building Bridges in Las VegasLocal electrologist, Rita Souza, CPE, LE, recently attended

the annual weekend convention of the American Electrology Association (AEA) in Las Vegas, Nevada, October 9-11. This convention represented the largest annual educational gathering of professional electrologists from all over the USA, Europe and Asia. The American Electrology Association is the largest international non-profit membership organization for permanent hair removal professionals. It exists to promote the highest standards in electrology education, practice and ethics and champion state licensing and regulation of the profession to protect the public interest.

This year, the convention focused on a subject of great importance to both practitioners and patients: getting the attention of physicians. People seek electrolysis as a solution for excess hair growth simply because they find it unsightly or embarrassing. Professional electrologists, however, understand that hair does not suddenly appear without reason. They make a priority of educating themselves in the underlying causes of hair growth. Because of this, they are often the first ones to realize that the problem is not merely cosmetic. Their client needs a doctor. Unfortunately, electrologists have a difficult time establishing

relationships with physicians. The idea that electrology practitioners are not really part of the medical community makes it hard for an electrologist who identifies a serious problem to act as an effective advocate for their client. They can recommend that their client see a doctor, but after that, the patient is on their own.

As an important step toward building the bridge between electrology and medicine, the convention keynote speaker this year was Lesly S. Davidson, M.D., a dermatologist from Mount Pleasant, SC. Dr. Davidson discussed how to develop and expand the relationship with physicians and gain their confidence so that electrologists can better serve clients.

Rita also heard the latest information on professional record-keeping, marketing, legal issues, medical herbal therapy and aging positively. It was a great experience and bringing home so much quality information has inspired renewed energy!

By making the annual commitment to continuing education and using the latest products and equipment, Rita has elected to stay at the top of the permanent hair removal field, the only FDA approved method of permanency. You are invited to call 883-2500 for a free, no-obligation consultation and trial treatment or visit www.everclearelec.com for more information.

Alvirne Key ClubCool autumn weather was

the setting this past Wednesday when the Alvirne Key Club met to have their picture taken for the upcoming year book. Almost 50 students, under the guidance of advisors David Nesbit and Betsy Levesque, broke out into spontaneous posing on Alvirne’s rope course while Mark Emile’s Photography captured the moment in pictures. We look forward to this year’s Key Club accomplishments as much as the upcoming yearbook pictures. Thumbs up to our Key Club.

by Len Lathrop As the Benson rehabilitation projects continue,

many long-time Hudson residents have stepped forward to lend both their time and energy, and in this case their equipment and special skills, to make the park something that the town can be proud of. Meet James Mills and his wife Kathy who offered to mill wood cut on the Benson property into boards that will be carved into trail and building signs for the park. Early Saturday morning, as others continued to clear brush at the park, the Mills were milling a white cedar tree, which many might remember growing next to the office buiding, into two different sizes - wood was cut to 5/4” thick for the signs and 5/4” square for the stakes. Kathy (Weldon) Mills, a former Benson employee, was an ”assistant elephant trainer” in the early 1980’s. She rode the elephants in the shows and parades, while caring and training the animals. Kathy is excited to see the park reopen for the people of Hudson and glad that her and James can use their equipment and expertise to make the signs for the park.

Trees from Park Recycled for Signs

While using a tractor hoist to move the log, James Mills cuts the tree into eight-foot lengths.

The two finished products - a six-inch tall,

5/4” thick board for signs and a stake that the signs can be mounted on.

The blade can be seen as the log is milled 5/4” thick.

Once one side of the log is sawed, the wood mizer LT70 has the ability to roll the log over and begin the cutting into plank lengths.

James starts the rough cut board into the twin blade edger, where the board length is cut into a square-edged product.

Local Pre-Professional Dancerby Lynne Ober

Campbell High School junior Andrew Matte is well on his way to a career as a professional dancer.This entertaining young man recalled that he began dancing after watching his older sister, who was taking dance classes.

“I would watch and then dance on my own.”

Today he is recognized as one of New England’s premier pre-professional dancers with many credits of his own. Andrew is a member of the prestigious New England Dance Ensemble, established in 1986 by artistic director Barbara Mullen and located at the Londonderry Dance Academy. The mission of New England Dance Ensemble is to combine the talents of local pre-professional dancers with currently performing professionals from National and International Companies. Before Andrew could join the New England Dance Ensemble he had to be an established dancer with the skills that would allow

him to grow into a professional dancer. He had to compete in a rigorous audition process and show that he was committed to learning his craft by being enrolled in continuing education for dancers. He passed with flying colors, and this fall he will participate in his second production of the Nutcracker. Last year Andrew danced as the Nutcracker and also performed the intricate and complex solo as one of the Arabian dancers in the Nutcracker, which is a fairytale-ballet in two acts, three scenes composed in 1891-92 by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. After that solo, Andrew’s dancing was characterized as being at a professional level.

This year’s performance will include dancers from the American Ballet Theater and will be held in Windham High School’s new auditorium on the Saturday and Sunday after Thanksgiving.

“It is a dancer’s dream to dance in the Nutcracker,” said Andrew.

Andrew is active in Campbell’s theater group as well. Last year he played the mayor in the production of The Seussical, a musical based on the beloved books of Dr. Seuss.

“This year I plan to participate in the production of Little Women.”

During the summer, he spent four weeks at the Harry Conservatory of Dance in Florida, where he immersed himself in dance for four weeks.

“It was a wonderful experience,” he said.

In addition to ballet, Andrew has studied jazz, tap, and lyrical dancing. Music fills his life, and in addition to dancing, Andrew also plays the piano.

Asked about the future after high

school, he said that he hasn’t made up his mind. It is a toss-up between finding a college with a good dance program or joining a professional dance troupe.

Andrew Matte, dressed as the Nutcracker, poses with Abby Caviro and Victoria Indelicato.

by Len LathropThe Hudson Fire Family gathered on Saturday at the VFW post for

their annual Award Ceremony.The evening was dedicated to the late Raymond Parker who passed

away on July 15, 2009. Ray served as a member of Engine Company 3 for 25 years retiring on December 20, 2000. After stepping down from his firefighting duties Ray continued to be very active with the department as a member of the Support Staff completing hundreds of hours in providing public education, fire safety and technical support along with operating and maintaining the prevention trailer. He was awarded two medals during his career; the first was a Rescue Medal Class 1 for actions he took in 1963 recovering a drowning victim from the Merrimack River. He was also awarded the Leon Hammond Award for his dedicated service to the Town of Hudson and it’s citizens. Ray also served his country in the New Hampshire Army National Guard from 1949 to 1991. He held the rank of Staff Sergeant assigned to the HMB 1/172 Artillery. Not only did he serve his country and his community but he also served in other capacities. He was a Hunter Safety Instructor and was very active in his church activities especially church suppers. Ray’s wife June, daughter Kathleen, son Jerry and friend Danielle were present to accept the dedication from Lieutenant Al Dube and Lieutenant Michelle Rudolph.

The Hudson Lions Club Employee of the Year was presented by past District Governor, Gary Rodgers, to EMS/Supervisor/Lieutenant Michelle Rudolph. As described by Torrey Demanche, “…she takes an active and often lead role on evaluation committees for purchasing large EMS equipment for the department. Not only is she instrumental in the purchasing of items such as ambulances and various life-saving equipment, she trains employees in the use of them. She had trained and organized our staff to move toward using the State’s Temsis system for reporting our EMS services. She takes part in the department’s quality assurance with regard to all patient care and treatment. Then on top of all this, she takes on a strong leadership role with the Cal Force as our Call Lieutenant. We often see Lt. Rudolph coming in to assist with various emergency calls and anytime there is a large scale emergency such as ice storms or flood, Mickey is here at our side.”

Fire Chief awards were presented as follows: The First 2009 Fire Chief’s Award was presented to Captain David

Morin who has been with the fire department fulltime for over 25 years, during which he has worked to help young adults, families in need and our senior citizens whenever a call for volunteers is heard. Morin received a coveted leadership award last year for his work with young men and women through the Boy Scouts of America Exploring Group. He also organized a blanket drive and clothing drive for residents in the North Country who lost their jobs. He created the Hudson Heat, a newsletter to keep members informed of department activities. These are only a few of the activities that Captain Morin is involved in.

The Second Fire Chief’s Award was presented to Firefighter Neil Pike, a person who continually displays high levels of technical expertise and professionalism. A firefighter since 1988, Pike has continually provided the Town of Hudson with service and dedication. He has mentored many for the new firefighters by orientating them to the job. And in recent years this individual has taken on the monumental task of overseeing the building and creation of an assisted living facility for the elderly.

The Third Fire Chief’s Award was presented to Deputy Chief Harry Chesnaulevich who has given over 43 years to the Town of Hudson in his role as a Call Firefighter. “Chessy” has also served many years as a member and on the Executive Board of the NH State Fireman’s Association, most recently as First Vice Chairman. Chessy has been a strong advocate on behalf of volunteer and Call Firefighters throughout the state. Harry is often seen at Central Station stopping by to check up on the guys as well as visit. He is frequently seen helping out at department functions, most recently helping to host the Border Area Mutual Aid Association meeting.

As the evening came to a close, Chief Murray presented the Leon Hammond Community Service Award to Fire Chief Frank Nutting. Chief Nutting served in the Chief capacity until his retirement in 1985 after serving 47 years. During his tenure as chief he modernized the fire department, the forerunner to today’s department. He built two fire stations; one on Robinson Road and the other on Burns Hill Road. These two firehouses greatly improved the response time to the north and south areas of town. In 1975 he hired the first full-time firefighters working a day shift. A few years later he added round-the-clock coverage. His greatest accomplishment to the town also took place in 1975 when he began the first Emergency Medical Services for the town, a prelude to the paramedic service residents receive today. Frank Nutting also served in many other Town Offices and positions over the years. He was a Selectman, Representative to the General Court and Building Inspector to name a few. It could be said he is the father of the modern Hudson Fire Department and his foresight, dedication and labor set the bar for the organization, professionalism and quality of services residents of Hudson deserve, expect and receive today.

As we entered the doors of the high school gymnasium, the stands erupted with cheers and applause. We made several laps around the gym with the torch and the crowd never stopped cheering. After a brief speech from the Town Mayor and Chief of Police, I approached the podium. My rehearsed speech went out the window and I let my thoughts and feelings take over. As soon as I realized what was going on, my speech was over and the crowd was on their feet cheering. Hmmm, must have done alright.”Throughout the days, Cavallaro and his team

ran several miles, rode on buses several more, and presented speeches in many towns and cities. Everywhere they ran, the town’s people would cheer them on.“The pack was always led by an LETR officer

and an athlete proudly holding the burning torch. On the buses, we would sleep, talk about the runs past, or joke around with one another. Two of my teammates and I were pretty knowledgeable about music and could sing. We would belt out tunes loud enough for the whole bus to hear. My team declared the back of the bus as ours. After all, only the cool kids can ride in the back of the bus. Each speech seemed to get better and better as we went along, and everyone personally came out in their speeches. Having given his same speech several times, Nathan approached me about helping him write a new one. I gladly agreed to help and we got started right away. His new speech included several Aussie sayings, like ‘Gooday mate’ and ‘Put another shrimp on the barby’. We also added some small pokes and jabs at some of our teammates for fun. The crowds seemed to eat it up and he was happy with the response.”Super Bowl Sunday came and the Special Olympics were nice

enough to rent out a hall for all of us with several televisions positioned around the room. It was really nice after a day of running for them to put that on for us. The food was brought out and the big game began. All the mega football fans came out and the fun started. What a great night it was. We all knew that a long day of running was ahead, but we all continued to have a good time. The next morning we all loaded into the buses bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.After 11 straight days of running with the torch, we finally hit the

last day. Sore and tired, all of the officers and athletes gathered what little we had left and made the last run to the Center of Idaho Stadium, where the Winter Games Opening Ceremonies would be held. This run was somewhat longer than all of our previous runs and it seemed people were falling out left and right. I could not help but notice that my roommate, Nate, was leading the group the entire way, pushing them as hard as he could. I could not help but be proud of him for sticking it out, especially with his physical disability. That is what the Special Olympics is all about. Time and time again, you see all of these well-known athlete superstars quitting when the going gets tough. Not these athletes, no way. As we crested the last hill and could see our destination, the pace seemed to pick up and the group came together as one, running in sync and proud. Arriving at the stadium was a great moment, and the uncontrollable smiles on everyone’s faces displayed their emotion. Great job, everyone!Day 12 was the 2009 Special Olympics Winter Games Opening

Ceremonies. We all put on our police dress uniforms and once again loaded into the buses. I was once again honored to be positioned right in front of the cauldron as it was to be lit. We were told we would be leading a country delegation into the stadium for the ceremony. I was tasked with leading the Puerto Rican delegation in. What an experience that was, seeing all of these thousands of athletes from all different countries, some of

which I had never heard of. As I led the Puerto Rican delegation into the stadium, an uncontrollable smile showed on my face and I was overwhelmed with amazement as we entered. This was a professional deal. After leading them to their seating area, I was able to take to the stands and watch for a while until the torch was to be brought in. I was amazed at the performances by Kenny G and many of the athletes, the speeches given by just about all of the Kennedy Shriver family and from several of the athletes from what I like to call the Plain Old Olympics, like Scott Hamilton and Kristi Yamaguchi, and a great performance from the group Flame, which is a band comprised of people with special needs. They really rocked the house.As soon as we were given the cue, we headed down to our

positions for the entrance of the torch. This event ordeal was orchestrated perfectly. All of the athletes that ran with us in the days past, accompanied by all of the law enforcement team leaders, ran into the stadium with the torch. It was then handed off to an athlete from another country who ran it around the stadium once. This was repeated several times by different athletes from different countries. The torch was then brought to the center of the stadium where the cauldron was lit as we all saluted. It was great! What a feeling to be part of that! At that moment, it finally dawned on me just how impressive and just how globally HUGE this organization really is.That night we had our final dinner together. My team had

become so close over the 12-day period that I really did not want it to end. Over the course of those 12 days, we had run as a group over 65 miles throughout the State of Idaho, spreading the Special Olympics message together. I was asked to give a small speech about having Nate as a roommate while we received our certificates. I was once again more than honored to. As I stood behind the podium, I expressed to my LETR peers just how proud of Nate I was. I talked about my initial apprehension about being responsible for an athlete, when in actuality it was Nate who ended up keeping me on schedule and woke me up out of bed and seemed to be responsible for me. I also expressed how I looked up to him for his strength and courage in keeping up with the running and explained that he had never once fallen out of a run even though I could see he was in physical agony. I was glad Nate was my roommate and is my Brother-From-Another-Mother. Thank you to all of my teammates, to Roy for being such a great and respectful team leader. You have made so many athletes’ and officers’ dreams come true. Finally, a big thank you to Special Olympics of New Hampshire for giving me this great and humbling opportunity! I really can’t thank you enough.

Memoir-continued from page 3

Everyone Has a Responsibility to Make Halloween Safe for Our Children

submitted by Granite State American KenpoOur martial arts school is asking parents, homeowners, and

drivers throughout our community to join with us to make Halloween safer with these safety tips.Parents:• Make your child eat dinner before trick-or-treating.• Children should carry quarters, so they can call home.• An adult should accompany young children.• If your children go on their own, be sure they wear watches,

preferably those that can be read in the dark.• Buy or make costumes with flame-retardant material.• Older children should know where to reach you and when to

return home.• You should know your children’s route for the evening.• Although tampering is rare, tell your children to bring their candy

home to be inspected before consuming anything.• Look at the wrapping carefully

and toss out anything that looks suspect.

Homeowners:• Buy candy that is individually

wrapped. • Consider healthier alternatives for treats: juice boxes, packages

of low-fat crackers with cheese or peanut butter filling, single-serve boxes of cereal, packaged fruit rolls, mini-boxes of raisins, packaged granola bars, and wrapped single-serving packages of microwaveable popcorn that can be popped later.

• Consider non-edible treats for children: pencils, erasers, plastic rings or coins.

• Clear your yard of debris, ladders, dog leashes, flowerpots, etc.• Make sure your home and yard is well lit. • Make sure your jack-o-lanterns are away from the path where

trick-or-treaters will be walking. Battery-powered jack-o-lantern candles are preferred to real candles.

• Ensure that any decorations can’t be blown into the jack-o-lantern and catch on fire.

• Make sure that your pets are secure for the evening. • Do not invite any children to come into your home. Prop the

door open while handing out candy; never ask them to stand in the doorway.

• If a child needs assistance, ask them for their parent’s phone number and offer to call them.• If you think a child is in danger,

call 911 and stay outside with the child.Drivers:

• Drive carefully over hills, around curves, and approaching stop signs or crosswalks.

• Enter and exit driveways with caution.

Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down?Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down?


12 - October 23, 2009

“Thumbs up, TWO ‘PINK’ thumbs way up for NU Look hair and Body Salon for their amazing efforts on Saturday 10-10-09. From the PINK hair extensions to the INK pins, lollipops, cupcakes, bracelets, beauty products and PINK raffl e items… the event was a huge success. Thank you Robert, Keri, Cara, Cyndi, Denise and especially MARIE for helping TEAM DORI’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Campaign exceed their goals. With over $800 raised in just two short hours, its proves HUDSON cares.” Forever grateful, Karyn.

“Thumbs up to Keith at Romano’s for his generosity in supporting CHS-FOM!”

“Thumbs up to Katie and John’s wedding. It was so nice! ‘Thumbs up’ to Carol & Don for all the work they did to make it a special day. We had loads of fun. Congrats to all!”

“Thumbs down to arrogant people who think they only have to obey the laws and regulations they like. The rules apply to EVERYONE, yes even those of you who think you are special. If you don’t like a rule, get it changed. Installing a four, ten or fi fty foot tall fence when it is against the town ordinances because it isn’t hurting anyone else or “it’s my property” doesn’t make it right. Pointing to someone else that got a variance isn’t justifi cation either, that’s just acting like a spoiled child, – they followed the rules, applied for and received the variance. The arrogant fence owners should pay an ever-increasing fi ne until the fence is down or the zoning variance is approved by the board. If we all just follow the rules we think are good ones, Hudson will be a sad place to live…”

“Thumbs down to parents with misplaced priorities who would rather see their student placed in harms way at a closer bus stop than go a little further to a safer one.”

“Thumbs up to the naked dancer. My neighborhood is going to pay a tribute to you and your nakedness this Thursday morning... (We’ll have the blinds pulled up so your creepy neighbors can watch us too!!). Let us know if the naked morning ritual changes...”

“Thumbs up to Dictator Jasper, how dare the other selectman disagree with him. Don’t they know Benson’s should be named Jasper Park!”

“Thumbs up, WAY UP to the following 6th grade dads who so generously gave up a week vacation to chaperone the Nature’s Classroom trip at LMS: Jay Boyson, Paul Damphousse, Matt Falcone, Tom Merrill, Kam Mun, Doug Orlando, Tom Perault, and Paul Richardson. Dads such as these make it possible for us to provide such a valuable program to our

students.”

“Thumbs up and a great big thank you to Chris, Diane, Dawn, Melissa and Tracy. I could not have gotten through counting night without you wonderful ladies.”

“Thumbs up to the beautiful wedding in Jaffrey. Mommy and Daddy sure know how to

throw a party! Nice to meet old friends and loved the bride’s and attendants’ dresses.”

“Thumbs down to President Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize. Really?? The deadline

for the nomination is February. So what did Jesus Christ…..er I mean President Obama do in that time. Oh wait he pulled out our troops from Iraq. Nope. Brought peace to the Middle East. Nope. Oh wait. He released all the Al Qaeda prisoners in Guantanamo, maybe they voted for him!!! So this clown is apologizing for America and the fi rst lady is ashamed of her country and he wins the Nobel Peace Prize. Good grief.”

“Thumbs up to the ‘thumbs down’ about people socializing at the Litchfi eld incinerator. I would like to mention another group of people who add to the waiting line, the “dump pickers”. If you feel the need to do either of these for more than a few minutes please move your vehicle to the side to allow those who are there to use the facility for what it’s intended for.”

“Thumbs up to all the Hudson businesses that donated to help support the Juvenile Diabetes

Research Foundation walk, held in Manchester on Oct.4th. The following places gave either a cash donation or raffl e donations to Travis’s Troopers Team: Caribe Tan, Travel & Hot Tub Rental, Sam’s Club, Stop & Shop, Super Cuts, Matibo’s Salon, Palmers Market, Best Bet Stateline Store, T-Bones, Wayne’s Tattoo World, Vulc-Tech Auto Repair and Tokyo Joe’s Studio of Self Defense. The family of Travis’s Troopers would like to thank each of you for your continued support of this walk.”

“Thumbs up. Travis’s Troopers Team for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation would like to extend two ‘thumbs up’ to Tokyo Joe’s Studio of Self

Defense for once again supporting Travis in the walk held on Oct. 4th. Janine Worthley and Matthew Quinlan not only donated their time and energy to training a demo team to perform at the walk; they helped raise funds to support the cause. You did an OUTSTANDING job, thank you from the family of Travis’s Troopers Team, without you we would not have been able to accomplish what we did.”

“Thumbs up to Dalton P. Class President for the BG freshman class of 2013! We’re so happy you are happy with your choice of schools. Way to represent Hudson!”

“Thumbs up to all the New Hampshire residents who truly understand that nothing is free and nothing is as it appears. I’m referencing this new ‘FREE’ prescription Rx card. This card

is a thinly disguised attempt by the socialists to create yet another database. A database that can be used in place of a census and or used to track the health of every individual and then used to make anticipatory medical decisions for you. Beware of socialists bearing gifts people as the eventual cost will do nothing more than keep them in power and keep you under their thumb.”

“Thumbs up to ‘Waldo!’ You can take that vacation now and no one will be looking for you. They are all to busy looking for ‘Dave’ at the Cooperative!”

“Thumbs up to the colorful fl owers planted at Wal-Mart!! It looks so much nicer than just plain mulch being there! Hope to see more in the Spring!!”

“Thumbs down to Wal-Mart forming lines at the door on the way out. This is an inconvenience to all of us. If you are worried about things in the cart not being paid for, just have your cashiers do their job and check the carriages while ringing up to make sure it is empty before ringing. Can imagine the mess this will bring during the Holidays!!”

“Thumbs down! To the Litchfi eld Police Department. You guys use

the rule, “Do as I say, not as I do” I hope that one day you are tailgating me, I will slam my brakes on and then see you in Court! Enough with the tailgating kids. My son is a good driver, but as with other adults, when a cop is riding your butt it makes us nervous. Why don’t you focus on the drug use in this town, it’s starting to be worse than the big cities…”

“Thumbs up to all the marching bands at the Salem Competition on 10-10. Thumbs triple way up to the Alvirne Band and Colorguard for an outstanding, top of the line performance. It was worth freezing our body parts off to see it! Way to go!”

“Thumbs up to the AHS Broncos Marching Band and Mr. B on a very successful Salem Band Show on Oct. 10th. You were all amazing, we were very proud to say that we were from Hudson. Love Shack was the Highlight of the evening. Congratulations to all you “Band Geeks”, because we heard you.”

“Thumbs up to Aiden, Billy, Brendon A, Brendon D, Chad, Colby, Eli, Justin, Matt G, Matt R, Oskar and Zach of the U9 cougars soccer team. You all played wonderfully and we are very proud of you all. What a great team! And a special thank you to coaches Zach, Kevin and Pat for all your time, support and patience. Our kids could not have done it without you. Go Cougars!”

“Thumbs up to the Hudson United U10 girls soccer team for their awesome showing at the Nashua World Cup Soccer Tournament. Everyone played great and everyone contributed to our 4-0 record! I’m really proud of all of you!! We are having a FANTASTIC season!“

“Thumbs down. You have got to be kidding me!! Spooky World!! Who allowed this fi asco in Litchfi eld. I chose this town for some peace and quiet. I live over a mile away, can hear all the noise after midnight. I hope the town is getting some of that ‘cash’ revenue. Lower our freaken prop. tax. That’s the real horror in this town.”

“Thumbs up. Campbell high soccer you guys did an awesome job this year we are all proud of you guys. on the

other hand ‘thumbs down’ to the parents who get loud and irritating at every game they attend. (does this ring a bell?)”

“Thumbs up to coach Eaton for taking the JV and varsity soccer team to NE Revolution game.

You put so much effort into making the kids have a great time and they did. You are a great coach

and we parents appreciate everything you do.”

“Thumbs down to HLN for AGAIN getting the Livingston boy’s names wrong in the sports section.”

“Thumbs up to Pizza Man North in Hudson for supporting Campbell High School’s Friends of Music!You guys are AWESOME!!”

“Thumbs down to CHS during my trip through the school during open house I noticed how dirty the school fl oors are. with fl u season here this school should be spotless”

Prayer to the Blessed Virgin(never known to fail)

O most beautiful flower of Mount Carmel, fruitful vine, splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. O Star of the Sea, help me and show me here you are my mother. O Holy, Mary Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to secure me in my necessity (make request). There are none that can withstand your power. O Mary conceived without sin pray for us who have recourse to thee. (3 times). Holy Mary, I place this cause in your hands (3 times). Say this prayer for 3 consecutive days and then you must publish and it will be granted to you. KAYC.B.

Lady Broncos Splitby Sue LaRoche

The Alvirne girls’ soccer team made the long trek to Keene High School on Friday October 16, on a frosty evening for soccer, and are very glad they did. The girls came away with a hard fought 3-2 victory in double overtime against an 11-1 Keene squad. The Broncos took an early 1-0 lead as Nicole Godschall drew fi rst blood. Keene fought back and tied the score but Alvirne managed to take a 2-1 lead on an Amanda Roberts goal. The Broncos could not hold on however and they let up the tying goal with under 4 minutes to play in regulation but Godschall came through with a penalty kick in the second overtime to seal the victory for Alvirne.

Katelyn Fortier played a stellar game in net, making many key saves in her 14 total saves. “The girls took on an 11-1 team and showed with a great team effort they can compete with anyone,” said an elated Coach Lance McAdams.

On Tuesday October 20, a night when the Broncos team, fans and parents honored the senior girls, the Broncos could not hold of pesky Winnacunnet and lost 3-2. The Broncos went down 2-0 early in the contest but steadily chipped away to even the score with under 20 minutes to lay in the contest. The fi rst goal was scored when the rebound off an Amanda Roberts shot was put into the net by Caitlin Teague. About 10 minutes later, Taylor Troy netted a goal off of a corner kick by Kaelyn Babin.

Unfortunately, a defensive breakdown allowed Winnacunnet to score the winning goal off of a direct kick. Katelyn Fortier had 13 saves in the game and Gina Lupoli added 4 saves. The seniors who played in their fi nal home game of the season were: Lindsey Dowling, Gina Lupoli, Rachel Boucher, Captain Caitlin Teague and Captain Morgan Ratte.

The 4-11 Lady Broncos who are fi ghting for playoff positioning in the NHIAA Class L division, will travel to Nashua South on Friday, October 23.

SportsBoys Soccer Round Up

by Sue LaRocheThe Alvirne Broncos hosted

Keene on Thursday, October 15, and came away with a disappointing 2-1 loss in the contest. The lone goal was scored by Evan LaRoche with help from Cody Lambert who screened the goalie on a direct kick. Jimmy Tomaswick had 18 saves on the night for the Broncos.

On Tuesday, October 20, they traveled to Winnacunnet to take on the Warriors and suffered a 4-1 loss. Corey Landry scored the goal for the Broncos who now sport a 2-13 record on the season and will not see post-season action.

submitted by Cathy Robertson-SouterThe girls are back and flying high!

Kicking off the fall competitive season with a successful meet earlier in the month, the Gym-Ken Gymnastics girls’ competitive team earned the right to advance to sectionals for all three levels they competed in.

At sectionals, held October 18 in Hudson, the Gym-Ken girls took several top places, with the majority of the team earning a score of 33.00 or higher to advance to the state competition in December. A gymnast must score at least a 31.00 all around at a qualifying meet to advance to sectionals and a 33.00 to advance to states. Each score is a summation of their individual scores on vault, bars, beam and floor routine.

Congratulations the following girls for their successful showing at the sectionals:

Level 4, Age 6-8: Rebecca Heath of Windham took second place in the all around competition with a total score of 36.80. Tori Sipes of Windham took

third place in the all around with a 35.850.

Level 4, Age 9-10: Paige Butler of Windham took first place in the all around with a score of 36.40. First year level 4 teammate Kylee Tommasi of Salem made a strong showing at sectionals, having made it to the competition after the first meet of their lives earlier in the month.

Level 5, Age 7-8: Alexandra Masone of Windham took first place in the all around with a score of 35.40.

Level 5, Age 9-10: Samantha Jezak of Windham took second place in the all around with a score of 34.875. Gabriella Palermo of Salem took third place in the all around with a score of 34.025.

Level 6 is the most advanced and difficult level in compulsories. It takes hours of hard work in the gym and hours of being out in public competing to master the skills. At Level 6, Age 13-plus, Lindsay Maffei of Windham took first place in the all around with a score of 32.40.

OPEN SATURDAYS &SUNDAYS 8-5

submitted by Deanna TardifThe Hudson-Litchfi eld Varsity Football team

improved to 5-2 and clinched a playoff spot by defeating Nashua PAL, 54-20, at Alvirne on Saturday night. The Bears struggled defensively in the fi rst half, but did not give up any second-half points. Offensively, the Bears moved the ball at will all night and chewed up the clock to keep

PAL’s offense off the fi eld.The Junior Varsity Bears improved their record

to 6-1 by defeating Nashua PAL, 38-6. The Junior Varsity players continue to work hard and improve in all aspects of the game every week. Both teams will fi nish the regular season at Manchester East on Sunday.Grade 6:

The Hudson-Litchfi eld Bears Grade 6 football team came up with a big win over the visiting Salem Rams this past Sunday. With a game-time temp of 38 degrees and a mixture of rain and sleet, the conditions were certainly not optimal, but the Bears made the best of it. The defense kept the Rams in check for the entire contest, and the Bears offense played hard and put points on the board in every quarter. With a fi nal score of 31-0, the Bears improved to 7-0 and will travel north this weekend to face the Concord Capitols in their fi nal regular season game.Grade 5:

The Hudson-Litchfi eld Grade 5 team faced a tough Salem Rams team this week. They faced an even tougher competitor in the weather with rain, cold, wind, and snow! They lost to the Salem Rams, 0-27, but the weather didn’t defeat them. They will fi nish out the season on Sunday in Concord.

Grade 4: Lost to the Salem Rams, 15-19. They will face the Londonderry Wildcats on Sunday.

Grade 3: Won their game against the Salem Rams. They will take on the Concord Capitols this week.
