submitted by David S. Morin, HFD Public Information Liaison Hudson fi refi ghters on Monday, Dec. 28, were alerted by a box alarm to a commercial oven fi re at 4

Industrial Dr. at 10:18 a.m. Captain Jim Paquette, fi rst arriving fi re offi cer, found smoke showing from the large one-story commercial building and requested additional companies to the scene.

Fire crews found fi re burning in a large walk-in oven located inside the building. The fi re involved several wooden pallets that had ignited during the manufacturing drying process. Firefi ghters used several water fi re extinguishers to keep the fi re in check while a hose line was taken into the building for fi nal knockdown of the fl ames.

The fi re was placed under control at 10:38 a.m. A venting system cleared the smoke from the building limiting damage to the oven.

The departments Fire Prevention Division was requested to the scene to investigate for a cause of the fi re. The fi re remains under investigation.

A total of 12 Hudson fi refi ghters, offi cers and chief offi cers staffi ng one engine, one ladder, one ambulance and three command vehicles, and an engine company from Nashua operated at the scene. Mutual aid from Windham covered Hudson Central. There were no injuries reported.

Th e aftermath

Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down?Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down?Thumbs down to the Litchfield Business

Administrator for creating a hostile climate in the District. How long will the madness continue? The arrogance, attitude, and condescending attitude toward staff, administrators, community members, and parents need to be addressed now! Please superintendent rescue the District from this terrible dynamic.

Thumbs up to Susan Haley for all she does for GMS!

Thumbs up to Carolyn Leite for her deification to the kids in Litchfield. She is truly amazing and we are so fortunate that our kids have the opportunity to learn from her.

Thumbs down to the senior citizen who purports to speak for all seniors in saying the light display on the Hudson Town Common is socialism in action. Dont speak for me, thank you very much! As a senior I happen to love the display and applaud the Town for doing such a nice job. Ill happily pay a few cents to help fund it. We need all the joy we can find this holiday season given the state of the world. By the way, why would you, as a senior, vote for a party that wants to take away your Social Security and Medicare? That doesnt make any sense. Think about it.

Thumbs up to the staff of the Aaron Cutler Library in Litchfield for all you do to enrich our community: lectures, concerts, Downton Abbey night, craft projects, Polar Express. Thank you!

Thumbs up. Say Luna, then sotto voce if I _had_ thumbs. To the person who dropped a Levana baby monitor receiver at the corner of Kienia Road and Edgewood. It has a belt clip, and Id put it on my collar, but again, no thumbs to turn it on or off. If you want it back, talk to the guy in the blue coat, I tow around Kienia daily. Or call him at 880-2077.

Thumbs down to the person complaining about a restaurant customer exercising his right to bear arms. Who are you going to turn to when the police are eight minutes away and the real monsters start shooting? Stop living like a naive victim.

Thumbs down to the landscaper on Robinson Road. Not only is your yard always full of trash and debris, but shocker, you are the first in the neighborhood to litter the road in front of your house with political signs.

Thumbs down to the good ol boys club. When the first Bush won the presidency it was tantamount to winning a lottery. The odds of a second Bush winning were even greater odds. Do people really see a third Bush? This is not good politics. Its money and power ruling the land. This country needs change. Trump is very rough around the edges but at least he is open and honest. A novel idea, an open an honest candidate who speaks his mind.

Thumbs down to the person complaining about someone open carrying in a local breakfast establishment. How ignorant can you be? Youd be kissing his shoes if he stopped someone that came in to shoot the place up. So what he had

it visible. I bet there were five times as many people in there carrying concealed, all to protect themselves, their loved ones or maybe even you. If you dont like it go back under your rock and stay there. Those of us not afraid to go outside where the light is will keep calm and carry on.

Dont be so afraid and learn about gun safety yourself and get prepared. By the way maybe you should watch the news and see why we need to be armed nowadays. Sad but true. Our Police officers are awesome, but theyre not on every corner or in every place of assembly.

Thumbs up to the cheery little elf that stood in front of the Hudson Walmart asking for Salvation Army donations. This young girl was so sweet and happy as she asked us to help the less fortunate in our community, and she made my entire day better each time I saw her! She is an absolute Angel and I hope her stocking is full of the love and happiness she deserves! There is a place for you in Heaven, sweetheart ... for your heart is as warm and bright as the sun, and I thank you for being so special! Merry Christmas to you!

Thumbs up to Bryan Lane for realizing that they need to monitor staff email accounts as there is a lot that may have been overlooked. It is not about who seems friendly up front, computer accounts are mixed, too.

Thumbs up to the Litchfield Police Association for their generous donations to local families!

Thumbs down to the Dad that was drinking with his young daughter at the pizza/bar restaurant Sunday night. No adult enjoys a night out for a cocktail with your child running all over the bar. You drank more than two alcoholic beverages and then drove that child home. The Hudson and Litchfield police have been notified of the vehicle that you drive. My husband and I have been in the restaurant several times and this is not the first time weve seen you in the bar drinking to excess with your children in tow. Its despicable. You want to drink be responsible and leave your child(ren) at home.

Thumbs down to the homeowners on that keep putting up obnoxiously bright lights right next to the road on those eye-sore pillars. If you really want to light up your house, why not just put some spotlights that light only your house and dont interfere with visibility on the road? I seriously hope that plow trucks will soon have

their way with those things, and that fence you apparently find absolutely necessary. By the way, the front of your house now looks crowded and paranoid.

Thumbs up. Remember in Hudson you can include someone back into your life even if you have excluded them in the past. Thumbs to you being a better person than you have been.

Thumbs up/Thumbs down. Regarding the person complaining about open carry in a local restaurant. Go to the gun free zone restaurant where you can be easy prey to the unbalanced person, Ill stay with the open carry citizen where Ill certainly be safer than you, good luck; youll need it.

Thumbs down to the timer at the lights on Chase Street. Ridiculous! Six cars get through the light and it changes. Traffic is ridiculously backed up all the way to the end

of Chase. Put it back to the way it was.

Thumbs down to the HSB and superintendent for neglecting to list this years standardized testing results in this newspaper. What are they hiding? Low test scores perhaps. They list their warrant articles for pay/benefit increases but will not list the schools standardized test results? Why?

Thumbs up to Chloe S.! What an asset you are to the middle school basketball team!

Thumbs down to Artie T. from Market Basket. Hes at it again. Instead of getting four roll pack of store brand bath tissue that used to be 140 square feet it is now 133 square feet. Less square footage, same price. Instead of getting a five pound bag of store brand sugar, its been cut to a four pound bag. And theres a whole list of other items that have been subjected to the same pattern but it is too lengthy to list here.

Thumbs down to Hudson Post Office for not lowering the flag on Pearl Harbor Day and for telling the customer who had inquired about it, that they, the Post Office, did not have time to do that.

Thumbs down. Shame on the person who attacks our President and the first thing they state is affirmative action. That shows me that there are racist.

Thumbs down to the UPS driver for animal cruelty. There is no justification for kicking a small dog that was wagging his tail, while in his own yard. This dog was kicked up into the air and UPS

could not be bothered with hearing the complaint. I want this published in the Hudson~Litchfield News Thumbs section.

Thumbs up to police, fire, emergency and all medical personnel who did not take the day off to celebrate the birth of Christ our Savior. The best gift of all is giving back and this is what these people do 365 days a year. Christmas is just another day that they work overtime, double-time and all the time to keep us the citizens safe and sound.

Thumbs down to Hillary Clinton. We have supported her with taxpayer dollars to have Secret Service protection around her with guns, for like 35 years. How does that work, now she wants to take Second Amendment rights away from us? Please, whatever you do, dont fall for this clown.

Thumbs down to all the parents on Cherry Street and all the parents who allow the kids to drive their ATVs at night time. I dont know how many times Ive almost hit them and Im afraid that I will end up hitting one of them and someone is going to get really hurt. Its not fair to all the parents out there who do try and keep their kids safe.

by Mike BourkThe Alvirne boys basketball team started off their

season on a positive note beating Dover 66-60 in NHIAA Division 1 play.

The pace to the start of the game was slow with Alvirne taking a 6-1 lead and Dover catching the Broncos to knot the game at 6-6 with two minutes to play in the fi rst quarter. Led by sophomore Max Bonney-Liles, who scored nine fi rst quarter points, Alvirne closed out the fi nal 90 seconds of the fi rst quarter with a 12-2 run putting the Broncos up 18-8 after one period. The Green Waves knocked down seven of 10 three-point shots to close the gap to 44-41 at the half. Alvirne coach Brian Lynch talked about Dovers shooting after the game, Dovers strategy was to drive and kick the ball out or to set screens for three-point shots. Dover hit nine of 15 three point shots in the fi rst half. They were not nearly as successful in third quarter connecting on just three of 13 shots. When asked if he made any adjustments at halftime Coach Lynch replied, We didnt make any changes. We had a defensive game plan for tonight and just stuck with it. A good high school team is going to hit about 30 percent of their three-point shots. Dover made a very high percentage of their threes in the fi rst half and that just wasnt sustainable.

The Green Wave took their fi rst lead of the contest with two minutes left in the third quarter 44-43. Two Danny Brown jump shots gave the Broncos a 46-44 lead after three quarters. Matt McKinley played

particularly well on defense for Alvirne in the third and fourth quarter. His aggressive play led to several turnovers and poor shots by the visitors.

Dovers shooters began to heat up midway through the fi nal quarter knocking down several three-pointers but solid Alvirne defense and back to back offensive rebounds and scores by Max Bonney-Liles put the Broncos up by six with under a minute to play. Bonney-Liles led all scorers with 18 points. Also scoring for Alvirne was Dan Brown with 14 points, Dean LaMothe scoring 12, and Jake Caneles with eight points.

HAPPYNEW

YEAR

by Len LathropAnother red banner was raised to the Cougar

Dens rafters last week as Samantha Parzych hoisted the marker stating that she is and will always be the State of New Hampshire Division 3 pole vaulting champion for 2015.

Only a junior last spring, Parzych explained that it took five rounds to be the winner at the state meet at the height of 8 feet, 9 inches. Asked to try the pole vault by the CHS coaches as a freshman, she believes because of her gymnastic background, she loves the sport and is looking forward to breaking the state record height of 10 feet, 6 inches as a senior this year.

Samatha is also a member of the Passaconaway Chapter of the National Honor Society at Campbell and a member of the Winter Spirit Squad during the winter months. As soon as Parzych had raised her banner, off she sprinted to lead the cheering performance at center court of the Cougars basketball game.

Parzych wanted to thank her family and coaches for their help in achieving this championship.

by Craig SmithA relatively new arrival to Campbells athletic

infrastructure, the swimming team has really made a name for itself in the few years since its inception. With only five current members to partake in events, it is surprising that there is so much competitiveness and talent present within the program. When compared with other schools that typically have dozens of swimmers ready to perform, Campbell would appear to be outmatched, yet the quality of athleticism and drive that these five athletes bring to their performance on a daily basis belies the notion that quantity equates to quality.

With only four males and one female swimmer it remains challenging for Campbell to succeed on a macro level. Points are awarded in meets based on every individuals performance and for teams that boast bloated rosters it is easier to accumulate points with mediocre times as long as they have enough of them. Campbell does not have this luxury and must instead ensure that they have the fastest times in order to stand out among a sea of competition. With each swimmer allowed to participate in only two events it makes it even harder for Campbell to stand out, especially when it comes to the female events. With only a single female swimmer to represent the school Campbell can only establish a presence for itself by ensuring that the five members who swim are the best.

Grant Levasseur, captain of the team, and Michael Douglas are both seniors. Their leadership is a rare kind for young adults their age. Many are comfortable giving advice, telling

people what to do and how to do it; but these two do it all through example. To them, its not enough to tell the younger swimmers that they have to perform at a high level that the only way for a team so small to succeed is to be the best. They have to go out there, do it themselves, and inspire through action. Thus far, after three meets on the season, they have done nothing but perform at the highest level.

In the mens open 100 butterfly Levasseur finished his bout with time for lunch before the rest of the competitors managed to complete it, finishing with a time of 58.55. The next fastest time was 1:03.57. His speed and grace are practically legendary among the community, and its easy to see why there are so many who look up to his work ethic. Like a teenage Aquaman he glides through the water with a power and speed imbued only upon the fictionalized and he isnt the only one. Douglas has no qualms in crushing his opponents either. In the mens open 200 freestyle he played the part of Michael Phelps as he tallied a score of 1:53.99, beating the next fastest swimmer who held a time of 2:05.9. Every meet it seems that Levasseur and Douglas take first in their events with ease, including the group relay.

Trent Levasseur and Will Bauer are the remaining men on the roster, both sophomores. The two may not be at the legendary level of their senior leaders, but they deliver every time they get into the water. Bauer swam the mens open 100 backstroke and took third place, barely cut out of second by only half a second. T. Levasseur, as fast

as anyone, took the mens open freestyle and won first place, winning 51.04 over Windhams Connor Hopkins who took second at 51:5. T. Levasseur also demolished the mens open 200 IM by a truly stellar margin. He finished with a time of 2:05.25, leaps and bounds ahead of the next fastest time of 2:21.45.

Grace Theberge rounds out the squad as the newest member. A freshman, and the only woman on the team, Theberge has quickly earned her spot on the roster. Already she competes in the final heats of events and has qualified for the state competition in her events. She took first overall in the womens open breaststroke with a time of 1:21.69 while the next fastest competitor finished with a time of 1:24.71.

This team has no coach and no way to practice as a club. Instead all of the members are members of the Executive Club team and practice there. Its there that they met, before some of them had even been in high school, and began the slow process of convincing the younger athletes to come to the school team once they were of age. Practicing together outside of school at the Executive has really helped the growth of these athletes. Of her teammates Theberge says, We all have good chemistry, especially the boys. They dominate every relay. She certainly isnt wrong, either. Almost immediately its obvious that these young men are not only incredible individual athletes, but team athletes. They

won first in both the medley relay and the group relay at their last meet and by no small margin either.

Individually these athletes are as dominant as they come, but due to the lack of participants on the team they miss out on some ample opportunities. Theberge is unable to do relays because she has no one to swim with, and in state meets it will be hard for Campbell to make a name for itself. Theberge can only swim two events, and two events may not be enough for cumulative points when there can be more than 10 events to get points for. Theres a lot of pressure, she said in regards to being the only woman on the team. I get to be a representative for the school and for women and I love it. Its a lot of fun to go out there and make myself and my team proud.

Campbell may have a small team and they may struggle for cumulative points when it comes time to compete in the state meet, but they have high-quality athletes, both in and out of the water, to inspire others and represent the school in a positive way.

Campbells Swim Team Shows off Elite Athleticism despite Small Number

submitted by Jan PlattIn its first meet of the indoor track and field season, Campbell

High School competed against 11 other New Hampshire schools, with both girls and boys teams finishing fifth overall.

Tying for fifth place with Kingswood with 22 points, the boys got the scoring going right away in the long jump. Luke Hogan placed second with a jump of 18 feet 1.25 inches and Trevor Gomes was right behind in third with a mark of 18 feet 0.5 inches. Both distances were PRs for the boys. Sam Munnelly earned a second-place finish in the 1000m (2:56.9) and was the anchor leg of the third place 4x400m relay team (3:59.8), along with Luke, Tevon Pieu and Harrison Hidalgo.

Also finishing fifth and just one point out of a tie for third place, the girls scored 28 points in several distances as well as the shot. With the top girls finish, Lexi Putzlocker took second place in the shot with a mark of 28 feet 6.75 inches. Earning points in three events, Savannah Reinitzer placed third in the 300m with a time of 47.2, sixth in the 55m dash with an 8.0, and anchored the third place 4x400m teams 4:52.2 finish. Filling out the 4x400 team were Jamie Minervini, Gabriele Hogan, and Sammy Molinari. Jamie also finished fourth in the 600 in 1:56.5, Sammy finished

third in the 1500m with a time of 05:38.4, and Gabriele was right behind her running a 06:02.1 to finish fourth in the 1500.

The second meet for Campbell High Schools indoor track season was held Dec. 27 at UNH. Competing against 10 other schools across NH, the girls team came in eighth place with 11 points and the boys team tied for seventh place with 19 points.

For the girls, Lexi Putzlocker led the scoring with a second place in the shot put with a mark of 29 feet. In the running events, senior Jamie Minervini placed fourth in the 600 meter race (1:55.0) and senior Savannah Reinitzer came in sixth in the 55 meter dash (7.80) and fifth place in the 300 meter race (47.80).

The boys scoring was led by the first place 4x400 relay team made up by Sam Munnelly (senior), Luke Hogan (sophomore), Nathan Bazzocchi (sophomore) and Harrison Hidalgo (senior), turning in a 4:01.06. Sam also placed third in the 1000 meter run. In the long jump Hogan finished fifth with a 17 foot 11 inch jump, along with sophomore Trevor Gomes in sixth place with a jump of 17 feet 3 inches.

On Jan. 2 both teams will compete at UNH in the afternoon session.

Alvirne/Pelham Topped by Salemby Bob Gibbs

The Alvirne/Pelham boys hockey team started the season with a disappointing first game loss to the Blue Devils of Salem.

Despite needing to fight off three short-handed penalty situations in the first period, Alvirne/Pelham took a 2-0 lead in the first period with unassisted goals by both Brendan Parent and Doug Herling. Salem had a decisive time advantage in the Alvirne/Pelham zone, but the defense held strong for Alvirne/Pelham.

Salem then came out in the second period to tie the score on goals by Alex Zannini and Alec Svenson.

In the third, Salem went ahead at the 11:28 mark of the period on a goal by Aidan Breen. This goal was scored shortly after Salem had killed off a penalty. Salems fourth goal was again an unassisted goal by defenseman Alec Svenson.

A/P kept fighting, and with only minutes to go, Doug Herling scored A/Ps third goal, assisted by Cam Richall and Matt Daprizio.

With a minute and 30 seconds to go, A/P coach Briand Gould pulled goalie Curtis Richall for an extra skater. Despite the effort of the A/P forwards, Salem was able to keep the puck out of their zone and take the win, 4-3.

strong play this past week with two big wins. In doing so the girls improved their record to 7 wins a 0 losses and are currently in first place in Tri-County Division 1 play.

Last Thursday at home the girls beat a tough Salem team 46-19. The girls came out strong in this game and never looked back. It was a total team win with contributions from all.

On Monday the girls had one of their biggest tests of the season: A match up vs. the defending champs, Londonderry Middle School. The game was in Londonderry, so not only where the girls playing one of the premier teams, but they were playing them in Londonderrys house. The girls started the game strong and stuck to their motto of Hit First, Hit Hardest and by the end of the first quarter the girls were up 22-9. However, the defending champs were not about to lay down, Londonderry fought back with tough physical play and closed the gap. At halftime the Lady Colts led by nine, 37-28. Londonderry came out strong again in the third quarter and cut the lead to four, however the Lady Colts showed some heart and fight of their own and opened the game back up with a 6-0 run late in the third quarter. At the end of three the Lady Colts held a

48-38 lead. The fourth quarter was one of the most exciting quarters all season as Londonderry and HMS traded baskets throughout both, scoring 20 points each. In the end the HMS Lady Colts came out on top with a well-earned victory by a score of 66-56.

That fourth quarter was one of the best quarters I have seen in years, said Coach Girginis As a fan, the way both teams traded baskets was exciting to watch, however, as a coach, I think I aged 10 years. I am just glad we were on the winning side. Girginis also credited the win to a total team effort. I think once again the veteran leadership of this team came through. I cant say enough how hard all the girls have worked and what they have put into this season so far. It does not matter if you are one of the captains or a manager. This team cheers each other on and is in full support of each other. I am very proud of them for the family atmosphere they are creating. We still have a long way to go and we must be better tomorrow than we were today, but this team has heart, and heart will take you very far.

Over Christmas vacation the girls were entered into the Nashua Catholic Middle School Holiday tournament where they saw some tough competition.
