Nicole Jacques touched the
lives of many people during
her short 14 years. The
former Hudson Litcheld
Bears cheerleader
was remembered by
her family on August
26 during a memorial
service at Hudson
Memorial Middle School
where she attended
eighth grade last year.
Certainly dedicated to
the Bears, Nicole was
considered a cheerleader
off the eld as well. Her
positive and enthusiastic attitude
was evident to all who knew her.
Nicole was 14 when she passed
away the morning of May 29 after a
difcult battle with a rare form of liver cancer.
As music played, a member from each of the teams was
asked to pour sand, colored blue and white, to symbolize the
Bears family uniting together in remembrance of Nicole.
Nicole touched so many in her short time with us, said Kelly Champagne,
president of the Hudson Litcheld Bears. I so often hear people sharing memories
about Nicole and the one thing that stands out to me is how people talk about
her smile and her gentle personality. She was the girl that lit up a room when she
walked in.
One of Nicoles good friends, Kirsten Rourke, was a fellow Bears cheerleader and
currently a student demonstrator for the Division 12 team. During the memorial,
Kirsten read a poem and shared her thoughts about Nicole:
We thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday, and days before that too.
We think of you in silence; we often speak your name.
Now all we have is memories, and your picture in a frame, with which we well
never part.
Angels, you in their keeping; we have you in our hearts.
Next, Kirsten told those in attendance that the
Hudson Litcheld Bears will start an academic
scholarship this season in Nicoles memory. The
Bears will contribute $250 toward a $500 bond
each year to fund a scholarship in her name.
This annual scholarship will be awarded
by the state to any child in the NH Youth
Football & Spirit Conference organization,
not only Hudson or Litcheld.
Two symbols have been added to the
Bears uniforms: a number 27 and an NJ
embroidered on the cheer skirts, on the
football players helmets and on the board
members/coaches shirts. The number 27
is in remembrance of Zachary Tompkins a
player the Bears lost on March 8, 2010. The
NJ is in memory of Nicole Jacques.
Both were young, athletic, and vibrant
members of our families before they were taken
too soon, Kirsten said. Please continue to remember
these two angels each and every time you see these symbols
as they will always be our friends always be Hudson
Litcheld Bears always be our family.

Alvirne High School Fire:
by Tom Tollefson
Tragedies stick with you. Even years after the
damage has been cleaned up, the memories remain.
Anyone who was there for the Alvirne re still
remembers it vividly even as its 40th anniversary
approaches. The glare of the ames, stench of smoke
hanging heavy in the air, and the reconstruction are
memories that will be forever locked in the minds of
residents who were in Hudson at the time. Its not only
a story about the largest school re in New Hampshire
history, its a tale of triumph as a community came
together to make the best of a tough situation and see
the reconstruction completed in only a year. These
moments and details both bad and good are best told
through the words of those who experienced them
rsthand.
Mostly everyone you ask about the re will
describe it as horrifying and overwhelming. No
one ever expected to see the towns largest school
building exploding in ames and searing smoke, but
it happened. In the early morning hours of Sunday,
September 8, 1974, just a few days into the new school
year, Hudson Selectman Stanley Alukonis happened to
be driving by when he saw the ames and made the
emergency call.
The emergency call went to Nashua and they sent
a re truck to Nashua High and found nothing. Then
they saw the sky was lit up by Hudson. They notied
Hudson to check their high school, said Hudson
reghter Lieutenant Harry Chesnulevich, who became
one of the rst responders at the scene.
Chesnulevich was one of the rst reghters to
receive the call through Kelly Answering Service,
which helped the re department receive emergency
calls at the time. He ran down the street from his
home on Library Street to the Leonard Smith Fire
Station and jumped into a re truck and was on his
way to Alvirne. Only minutes after the emergency call
came in, his truck was the rst one to arrive on the
scene. Dozens of other re trucks were close behind
and tore into the parking lot of the high school with all
sirens blaring.
When we got to around where True Value was we
saw the glow in the sky. Upon pulling up in front of
the school we saw the cupola (dome structure) had
collapsed onto the rst oor, he said about rst seeing
the ames. The school was pretty much engulfed.
Another historic moment Chesnulevich and many
others recall is Fire Chief Frank Nutting, Jr.s speedy
ride. Nutting was on vacation in Wells, Maine at
the time, but still made it to the re scene in only 45
minutes from the time he received the call.
Many residents heard the sirens and noise and
gathered to see what was happening.
I was impressed that morning when I got up there
at about 5 a.m. in the morning and there were towns
people already up there, said Peter Dolloff, Hudson
superintendent at that time. It was stunning to look
up and see that building on re. You would think it
would be somewhat reproof with a brick building, but
it didnt have re stops and the re just raced through
the attic from one end to the other.
Not long after arriving, word went out to the
reghters to stay out of the building.
We had thoughts of going into the building and
stopping the spread of the re to the north end, but
upon nding a crack on the roof edge, we were told
no one was going into the building because it could
collapse, Chesnulevich said. I looked and said
we arent going to save anything here so well just
surround and drown. I had my crew more or less
protect the ofce area.

The Cub Scout Packs in Hudson are shing for new recruits
Sunday, Sept. 14 at Fishing for Fun derby. The Hudson Fish &
Game has graciously let the Cubs sh in their pond from 7 a.m.
until 9:30 pm to have fun, learn to sh, and have fun! (Yes, I said
fun twice, because Cub Scouts is all about having fun!)
Bring your own pole, and a parent to the HF&G location at 53
Pine Road. The shing will be strictly catch (quick photo!) and
release using barbless hooks. Barbless hooks dont injure the sh,
and they get released very quickly. You can use a pair of pliers to
crimp the barb, and it quickly makes your hook safe for this event.
(A note for moms: barbless hooks are safer for those shing too! You
dont have to worry about your husband coming home with another
hook in him.) Come on time,7 a.m., because we must be done at
9:30 when the normal HF&G activities will start.
Cub Scouts is for boys ages 6-11, or grades rst through fth, and
provides a safe, family-friendly, fun program that teaches citizenship,
rst aid, and many other life skills. The three packs are in the
South where Pack 252 is located. Pack 252 meets weekly, mostly on
Tuesdays, and once per month at St. Kathryn Church. Pack 20 is the
middle pack that meets on Mondays, with a monthly pack meeting
at Nottingham West. The third pack, Pack 21, meets
on Tuesdays in the northern part of town, with their
monthly meeting at Hills Garrison.
Joining is really easy, just pick the night that works
best for you, Monday (Pack 20), or Tuesday ( Pack
252 or 21), or location: North P21, Middle P20,
or South P252. Then e-mail the Cubmaster for
more info: Pack 20 cubmaster@pack20hudson.

The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge went to
new heights last week when the Hudson
Fire Department, the Professional
Fireghters Association (Local 3154) and
the Fireghters Relief Association got
together after being challenged by the
Hudson Police Department and their
respective brotherhoods a week earlier.
A Port-a-Tank was set up in front of
the Lenny Smith Fire Station and lled
with approximately 2,500 gallons; then
buckets of ice were added. Chief Buxton
led the way and addressed the audience
stating that the Relief Association and the
Professional Fireghter Association each
were donating $101 to the ALS cause. In
addition, the HFD challenged Litcheld,
Londonderry and Derry reghters to
meet the challenge.
As he returned to the Port-a-Tank, Chief
Buxton, Union President Dave Cormier
and Relief Association President
Dave Morin all dove in the ice-
lled pond. Simultaneously,
the deck gun from Engine One
sprayed the ice water from the
pond onto the group members and
family who had gathered to accept
the challenge and supported ALS.

Is it our governments
fault? If you have problems
with government, look in the
mirror - did you vote in the last
elections? Politicians need to
be held accountable and the only way to do that is to vote. Tell
the incumbents that you wont return them to ofce and/or let the
newcomers know that you dont agree with what they stand for.
Tuesday September 9, is the primary election where the ballots
for the general elections are established. Yes, you cant vote for
everyone or should I say vote against anyone, if youre not afliated
with one of the major parties, the Democrat or Republican. You have
to choose a ballot, which you can do at the polls. And remember
that if you want to be an undeclared voter you have to be undeclared
after the election, or you become a party member, not a bad thing
because at least your voting.
Yes, you can look in the mirror and say I voted. I am letting
government know what I want. Can one vote change anything in
Washington? There is no way of knowing, but, in this primary, one of
the races you are deciding is for state representation. Both Hudson
and Pelham are in the same district; on the Republican ticket there
are 15 candidates for 11 seats, on the Democratic ballot there are
only eight for the 11 seats, so you could write in your own family
and friends. The biggest race across the state is for the U.S. Senate
seat as there are 10 names for one seat on the GOP ballet and the
incumbent Jeanne Shaheen on the Democratic ballot.
Now, if youre now totally confused, go to SOS.NH.GOV and
nd the Sample Ballot and then choose your town for the ballot
that you will be handed on primary day. Every ballot in every
town is different as New Hampshire senators and representatives
have different districts; only the candidates for governor and U.S.
senator are the same as even the U.S. Congress representative can
be different as there are two NH districts for that seat. And dont ask
me to explain why the candidates are listed in different alphabetical
order in each town, for that explanation visit RSA 656:5-a. And you
still wont really know.
Enough about voting. I get to push you to the polls three times in
some even numbered years like this year 2014. Did you miss the
local election last March (have you seen what the selectmen and
school board have done this year) and only once for the town ballot
in odd number years like 2015. Think ahead to 2016; thats when
you get to elect a new president.
Remember I asked if youre happy in the title of this editorial.
Dont forget that the local government is always looking for people to
serve on local boards and committees. Someone once said, Dont
complain if you are not involved. Stand up and do what you can.
Editorial Editorial
Are You Tired, Broken,
Unhappy and just
Scared of the Future?
A Pig in a Poke
Tis was a late middle age con trick, whereby someone would advertise
they were selling a piglet in a closed bag, but in reality a cat or dog. Tis
is also an idiom for voting for someone without a history. What are you
really going to get? Tere are people running in this primary that have no
record or history, no way that you can really know where the individual
stands on the issues other than their words. Has the candidate ever held any
other political ofce, such as selectman, budget committee, school board,
etc. Does the candidate even have any other record, for example a business
record, that can be looked it? For state rep has the candidate ever had any
local government or community involvement? So one needs to ask, are we
buying a pig in a poke? Another idiom comes to mind, talk is cheap. From
the governors race on down to your local state rep, who has the verifable
record? Who has just the words? Who has the better or longer record? Two
people running for Executive Council, one with an outstanding record,
and one with just words. In the important state rep races, check out the
candidates, who has a record, who has served the community, who has never
done anything, but want you to believe their words. Again, talk is cheap.
Weve seen this in the past, people running for ofce, saying one thing, and
then doing the opposite. History is more important than words. Questions
you should ask yourself before voting.

Taking Action with Memorial
Softball Tournament
Cancer afects so many people in all of our lives. It leaves quite the wake
of emotions, fear, sadness, helplessness, and sometimes, if we are lucky,
triumph. I lost a fellow team mate to Acute Myeloid Leukemia on August 8,
2012. Many people in this community rallied around her (she was a 1999
Alvirne Graduate) and her son. We all fought for her, tried to keep hope in
the fght. Prayed that she would be able to fght like a girl and win. Tat was
not to be. Two years later, I still wonder what more could have been done.
Tis year, we decided to take action. On Saturday, September 13, I am
hosting the frst annual softball tournament in Amiees name. All registration
fees are being donated to LLS in Amiees memory (September 12 was her
birthday). So, what does this have to do with you? Come watch! We will
have Be the Match there for those interested in becoming a bone marrow

Welcome Students to Civics
and Social Studies 101
Tis is your frst day of one of the most important classes you will take
this year, Civics and Social Studies 101. I have unexpectedly and suddenly
had to change todays introduction class because of the recent developments
in the Market Basket settlement of the dispute between the powerful owners
group family members and the very popular Artie T. You are likely sitting
there wondering why is Mr. G. including the Market Basket protests and the
very positive outcome, as an example for a Civics and Social Studies class; so
let me save you a lot of time wracking your brains on what Im trying to get
at.
Te entire Market Basket saga is a perfect example of, the Market Basket
protests being a model for all citizens of the power of protesting to our feral
(all defnitions apply) government to make the changes that the citizens
want and demand; Changes We Can Believe In. And if we dont get those
changes, every one of them, then we get everyone responsible for failing
to carry out the demands of the people, theyll be turned out of ofce; as
we citizens move ahead to have a government really Of, By, and For Te
People.
So remember that Civics and Social Studies 101 is really Market Basket
101.
Jerry Gutekunst, Hudson
Be Careful with your Republican Choice
Almost daily, there are news stories that fnd fault with the current
administration or Congress and with the approaching primaries, we get
hammered with stories about the more well known candidates. But if
you want to make a change in the administration, your vote must count.
Sometimes it may seem that a particular candidate is going to win all the
votes and be elected.
Tere is a problem coming up in the primaries. Perhaps the person
that you want to vote for, will not receive enough votes; because the list of
candidates is very long. Tere are currently eleven names for the position of
US Senate. Tere is only one candidate listed for the Democratic candidate
which probably will practically guarantee nearly 100% of all Democratic
votes cast will be for that one candidate. Tere are ten names on the
Republican list and even if there are more total votes cast for the Republican
candidates; your choice may not get enough votes to win
Please be careful as you vote Republican, that the one candidate who
stands out above all the others; is the person that you vote for above all
others. Weigh carefully; even if the candidate does not answer all of your
wishes, but is the one candidate that most closely matches your preferences,
and is the one most likely to win enough votes to challenge the Democratic
candidate.

Pants on Fire: NH Voters Deserve Honesty
Unfortunately, its become all too common for Washington politicians to
be dishonest and deceitful. But its particularly troubling when candidates
such as Gary Lambert, who aspire to be in Washington, use lies and negative
attacks to take down another member of their own party.
Last week, Gary Lambert attacked his GOP primary opponent, Marilinda
Garcia, through mailers and TV ads. Lamberts claims that Garcia supports
new taxes were heavily criticized by a recent Union Leader editorial for their
lack of evidence, and were given a Pants on Fire rating by Politifact New
Hampshire for their absurdity. In reality, Marilinda is a proponent of lower
taxes across the board.
Lamberts TV ads also attacked Garcia on the issue of immigration.
However, these criticisms were baseless as well, because Garcia has always
been an opponent of amnesty for illegal immigrants. She is known as an
advocate for stronger border security, continued enforcement of existing
immigration laws, and for making the immigration process more efcient for
those coming here legally.
Its clear that Lambert is grasping at straws in a shameful attempt to spread
lies and fool the voters of his own party with misinformation. Granite-
Staters deserve honesty and principle in their leadership.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF HUDSON
236 Central St., Hudson, NH 882-6116
www.firstbaptisthudson.com
See us on Comcast Cable ch. 20 Sundays at 9AM and 6PM
On the First Sunday of each month we serve communion and
have a time of fellowship and refreshments after the Worship Service.
Sunday Worship Services-
10:00 am to 11:00 am
No Sunday School during the Summer.
Many interesting statements are made by town
ofcials during meetings and other gatherings.
While most dont warrant enough for a full story
for our readers, some are great ideas, forward
thinking and others make you say what? Or just
shake your head. Our newspaper staff members
when out and about are often asked questions, as
if we should know more than the average citizen.
Sometimes we do, but many times we have to
make phone calls to nd out.
Take a moment to ponder these thought-
provoking happenings around Hudson and
Litcheld:
A Sideways Thumbs
It was 8:40 of the selectmens meeting Tuesday
night. During selectmens remarks, Chairman
Coutu started with his usual rant about the weekly
paper and the Thumbs column. He alluded that
it was all back and forth about politics, and he felt
like he should have worn his beige suit. Then he
proceeded to read a wonderful letter from the re
chief of Barrington, NH Rick Walker who lauded
the action of HFD reghter Dennis Haerinck
for being a rst responder to an accident,
providing treatment to the victim and assisting
the Barrington Fire Department upon their arrival.
And if he represented the men of the HFD
what a wonderful department Hudson has. The
question is what did this have to do with the
Hudson~Litcheld News?
Safety First?
At the last meeting of the Hudson School
Board, when bus routes where being discussed,
the business manager mentioned that buses
could not travel on unaccepted roads
mentioning Barretts Hill and the new Sentor
Development off of Old Derry Road. With
the rst day of school Tuesday, we ponder why
there are four bus stops in the Fox Hollow
condos. Seems much safer than major stops on
busy Lowell Road, but are rules just made to be
broken?
Well-come Evaluations
Selectmen renewed efforts to add to
Hudsons supply of water.
With school district permission, wells in the
Alvirne Tree Farm and near the athletic eld will
be evaluated. In addition, a well on the Nash
property that had been looked at before will be
evaluated.
Much Ado about Dress Codes
Clothing seemed to be an agenda item at
Tuesdays selectmens meeting. First Selectman
Coutu commented about his beige suit and then
made multiple references to Selectman Nadeaus
lack of a suit. Nadeau had raced to the meeting
from his shop and had on his work clothes. One
comment was made that he would have to visit
Attorney Jasper about his wardrobe. This was a
reference to Selectman Jaspers ability to always
wear a jacket and tie and how he set the dress
code for the meeting many years ago.
Funny ha-ha
Even Selectman Nancy Burner showed a sense
of humor, commenting that Joan Rivers could have
used Hudson Fire for her ride from the clinic to
the hospital; she would be very happy if the HFD
delivered her there.
More Dress Code Blues
In a phone conversation Wednesday morning,
Selectman Nadeau reported that a resident
watching the selectmans meeting on TV had
alerted the Bass Pro Shop about his attire and,
according to Nadeau, wanted to know where the
selectman shopped and if he was a rewards
customer.

Megan Lisay ~ Andrew Somerville After three terms serving
in the New Hampshire
State House, Jim Lawrence
(R) of Hudson returned
to running his small
business as a Department
of Defense contractor
helping streamline federal
government spending. A
20-year resident, he felt he
should contribute to his
community from the private
sector. Well, now hes back
into the political arena. This time hes running
for the 2nd U.S. congressional seat, hoping to
earn the opportunity to challenge incumbent Ann
Kuster (D). Lawrence, a U.S. Air Force veteran,
visited with the Area News Group staff August
26 to shed some light on his platform positions,
including repealing Obamacare, establishing
a stronger U.S. foreign police, and eliminating
the Common Core curriculum. The father of
eight called parents the best advocates for their
children.

Every life tells a story. Susan Woodbury Misek
considered her life a great adventure. Sue, as
she was called, was remembered at a memorial
service at the First Baptist Church on August 30.
In her practical style, Sue contributed to the
service, selecting her favorite hymns and readings
prior to her passing. Presiding at the celebration
of Sues life was Reverend Moa Imchen, the
present pastor of the First Baptist Church. He
was joined by Reverend Scott Secrest, former
interim pastor, and long-time pastor Reverend
James Harrington, who served the church for 17
years before retiring in 2012. Throughout the
service, Sues deep faith and devotion to God
was evident. One of her favorite quotes from the
Book of Philippians seemed most appropriate: I
have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith
to be content.
Sue and her husband, Victor, moved to
Hudson in 1957. As her son, Will, recalled,
Her commitments were to family, church and
community. Sue was a long-time Boy Scout
leader and received recognition for her many
years of service. She also volunteered as a ballot
clerk at elections and at Benson Park and was
a longtime member of the Hudson Historical
Society.
Both of us were collectors of hobbies; that
was our hobby, shared Will, to laughter. She
taught jewelry making and design, was devoted
to her vegetable and ower gardens, and loved
to be outdoors. Many will recall that Sue was
seldom without a camera in her hand. Another
one of her interests was genealogy and family
history. She was the chairman of the Hudson
Historical Societys Genealogy
Committee and loved to research
town subjects as well as her
own family. Pastor Jim Harrington said, This is
a celebration of Sues life and a celebration of
her faith. She wanted this to be a joyful occasion
because she knew where she was going. Sue
described her life as a great and grand adventure,
and her passing as a continuation of that great
adventure.
Sue died on August 3, 2014, at the age of 82, at
the Community Hospice House, and is survived
by Victor, her husband of 59 years, children,
Martha Frick, William Misek and Carl Misek, and
many relatives and friends. She was predeceased
by her son, Stevan Misek.

Where does Scott Brown
Stand on Immigration?
Republican senatorial candidate Scott Brown is
attacking Senator Shaheen and President Obama for
being soft and supporting amnesty for illegals. How
can an administration that has already deported more
undocumented immigrants than the George W. Bush
administration did in its entire eight years be considered
soft?
What amnesty are you talking about, Mr. Brown?
Are you referring to Bill S. 744? Tis is the Border
Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration
Modernization Act, supported by Senator Kelly
Ayotte and Senator Jeanne Shaheen. It is a proposal
for reforming the U.S. immigration system, written by
a bipartisan group of Senators including Senators Jef
Flake (R-AZ), Marco Rubio (R-FL), Charles Schumer
(D-NY), John McCain (R-AZ), Richard Durbin (D-IL),
Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Robert Menendez (D-NJ) and
Michael Bennet (D-CO).
Tis bill addresses all aspects of the immigration
process from border and enforcement issues to legal
immigration reforms. It makes changes to the family
and employment-based visa categories for immigrants,
provides critical due-process protections, increases the
availability of non immigrant workers to supplement
all sectors of the workforce, and provides legal status
to 11 million undocumented immigrants within the
United States. Tis bill also
increases resources needed to
secure the border and modernize
and streamline our current legal
immigration system.
Mr. Brown, recently you said
that had they (Shaheen and
Obama) not provided those
incentives, almost a magnet,
we wouldnt be in this situation
today. Why did you, Mr. Brown,
as Massachusetts State Senator,
vote for a budget amendment
that permitted undocumented
immigrants to be eligible for in-
state tuition rates and fees at the
University of Massachusetts and
in community colleges of the
commonwealth?
Mr. Brown why are you
opposing comprehensive
immigration reform? It is a
commonsense solution that
expands visas for many talented
foreign graduates from U.S
universities in the sciences and
technology.
What do you have against
an immigration reform that
increases over time the number
of temporary high-skilled visas
based on demand and expands
opportunities for entrepreneurs
and investors to come to the US?
Why you are emphasizing
immigration as the key campaign
issue in New Hampshire? Is it because you care about
people or because you see this as a way to score political
points? Why havent you been talking about any of the
other issues impacting citizens of the Granite State, like
how to expand opportunities for the small business of
New Hampshire?
Alejandro Urrutia, Hudson
NH has been Ignored
by Senator Shaheen
NH used to have many health insurance providers
that promoted competition. After Senator Shaheen
stated on the foor of the Senate everyone will be able
to keep their health plan if you like it. When the rates
were changed based on a persons health vs. Obamacare,
many of the insurers left the state leaving very little
competition.
She should have known better based on her being a
NH legislator.
She has voted with Obama 96 percent of the time.
Based on her actions, she is now afraid to face the NH
voters. She has not had a town meeting the whole year.
You have a better chance of seeing Shaheen, Carol Shea
Porter and Annie Kuster on a milk carton before they
face the NH voters. None have had town meetings.
During the August recess most members of congress
use that time for town meetings. We had to settle for
John McCain from Arizona to hold a town meeting in
NH.
PS: I got a kick out of Annie Kuster when someone
asked her a question on Benghazi. She said we are not
here to discuss Benghazi, we are here to discuss the
Middle East. Duh, doesnt she know that Benghazi is
part of the Middle East?
Bob Wilkie, Hudson
Foreign Policy of Procrastination
When President Obama was questioned about
countering the Islamic terrorists (ISIS) in Syria, his
response was We dont have a strategy yet, and this
exemplifes the status of our foreign policy. Te Obama
Administrations has deferred our foreign policy decisions
to other countries who defer back to the U.S. It is a
policy of procrastination based on hopes and dreams the
world problems will fade away or be solved by foreign
good guys in shining armor.
Te results of our diplomatic pullback, our military
cuts, and decreased readiness have allowed the Russians
to take the Crimea, North Korea to threaten South
Korea, China to fex its military might in the Western
Pacifc, Iran to develop nuclear weapons, and Islamic
terrorists to establish a territory in Iraq and Syria for
launching attacks in the Middle East and the world.
We cannot rely on other countries to take the lead in
a dangerous world. As an example, since 2008 European
governments have relinquished any leadership role by
paying $165 million in ransom to Islamic terrorists for
the release of European citizens. To deter and defeat
aggression in the world, the U.S. has to provide global
leadership in our foreign policy strategies and decisions.
Donald A. Moskowitz, Londonderry

Now incorporating research based multi-sensory
reading instruction from the Institute for
Multi-Sensory Education (IMSE)
Whats the Top Learning Style in America?
Hands-on Wins Hands Down, Survey Says
(BPT) - Children learn by doing, and every child has a unique
learning style all his or her own, child development experts tell us.
The same can be said of adults if a recent survey is any indication.
A majority of Americans say hands-on training is the hands-down
winner when they want to learn something new in an educational
environment, according a Harris Interactive poll conducted on
behalf of Everest College.
Surprising in the Internet age when most Americans spend hours
a day online, 52 percent of the 1,011 adults polled said active par-
ticipation through hands-on training was the best learning method,
while just 19 percent counted using the Internet as a preferred
learning tool. Watching a demonstration by an instructor came in a
distant second at 28 percent, and just 15 percent valued watching
videos.
When it comes to what learning methods work best, everyone
is different, says John Swartz, regional director of career services
at Everest College. Clearly, most Americans feel hands-on train-
ing works best for them. For our education system to succeed in
preparing Americans for the working world, its critical for us to
understand what learning styles work best for all students, whether
theyre pre-K kids or older Americans returning to school for ad-
vanced training.
Theres no arguing the value of higher education in professional
life. In 2012, workers with a professional degree earned $1,083
more per week than those with only a high school education, ac-
cording to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Unemployment rates for
those with only a high school diploma were more than four times
that of workers with professional degrees.
With college costs continuing to increase and competition
remaining high for available jobs, both high school graduates
and working professionals seeking to further their careers through
advanced degrees recognize the importance of nding the right
educational program for their learning style.
Students who practice what theyre learning in a hands-on envi-
ronment can
often retain
much more
informa-
tion when
compared
with sitting
passively
in a lecture
room, so
its not a
surprise that
hands-on
training is the overwhelming favorite, Swartz says.
Other variables play a role in determining an adults preferred
learning style, the survey indicates. While both sexes preferred
hands-on training overall, men were signicantly more likely than
women to say hands-on training worked best for them. Women
were signicantly more likely to say visual demonstrations worked
best for them.
Top earners also liked the Internet; 30 percent of those with
household incomes topping $100,000 said the Internet worked
best for them as a learning tool, while just 18 percent of workers
earning less than $35,000 agreed. Twenty-eight percent of Ameri-
cans ages 45 to 54 chose reading from a text book as their top
method.
Its no secret that students in the U.S. are falling in the rank-
ings on global achievement tests, so its imperative that we invest
in early education, retain the top educators, and identify the best
forms of training programs and learning methods to prepare future
generations, Swartz says. One of the major benets of tactile
learning, or hands-on training, is that it develops critical thinking
skills that give students the ability to make on-the-spot decisions in
a workplace environment.
Help Your Kids Make the Grade
with Healthy Back-to-School Snacks
(BPT) - School means big adjustments and big demands for
everyone involved: shopping for supplies, shuttling here and there,
studying - or overseeing the studying - special projects, and more.
Its easy to forget nutrition in all the hustle and bustle.
Make a pact to embrace healthful eating, whether breakfast on
the run, packed lunches or after-school snacks. In other words,
plan now to fuel those little bodies with something better than po-
tato chips and cookies and to nourish at regular intervals to avoid
big dips in energy and focus.
The rst step is to start the day off right. Eating breakfast helps the
brain to function and has been shown to improve performance in
school. In fact, children who eat breakfast score higher on cogni-
tive tests than those who dont. With a little forethought, you can
stock your pantry with breakfast staples, and orchestrate a fresh and
healthful breakfast that is also tasty and quick.
One of the easiest options is to simply mix yogurt with granola
and top with California grapes for a balanced and nourishing boost
to the morning. Pump up the good
stuff even more with a Yogurt
Power Bowl. This breakfast-in-
a-bowl combines Greek yogurt,
fresh grapes, walnuts, chia seeds
and ax seeds with a touch of
cinnamon. The yogurt serves as
a great source of protein, the
walnuts, ax and chia seeds offer
healthy omega-3 fatty acids, while
the fresh grapes offer a fresh avor
boost and contribute benecial
antioxidants and other polyphe-
nols that support a healthy heart.
Yogurt Power Bowl with Cali-
fornia Grapes Serves 4
Ingredients:
1/2 cup nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon chia seeds
1 teaspoon ax seeds
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3 cups red, black or green seedless California grapes, halved
Directions:
Mix the yogurt, walnuts, chia, ax and cinnamon in a large
bowl. Toss the grapes into the mixture to coat. Serve chilled.
Next, keep your childs brain-power on a roll at lunch time by
offering a balanced variety of foods. Grapes from California are an
easy component of packed lunches; they complement sandwiches,
salads and soups as well. Plump, juicy clusters of grapes help to
hydrate and refresh, and wont likely be traded off for something
else. Grapes are easy to share, so you might just want to pack
extra.
After school, kids need to refuel and recharge to accomplish the
slate of afternoon activities, whether homework, sports, enrichment
classes or simply a playdate. They arent alone, actually: according
to a recent study by Technomic, 71 percent of people enjoy a snack
in the mid-afternoon, with some 50 percent stating that healthful-
ness is important to them in a snack.
Fresh grapes are the quintessential healthy, but oh-so-tasty snack.
They are the perfect nger food, easy to eat, convenient and porta-
ble. Grapes play well with other foods too, complementing cheese,
crackers, nuts, yogurts and granola bars. Grapes from California
are available May through January, with a wide selection of grape
varieties available throughout the fall.
Consider these super snack ideas:
* Let the kids make their own no-brainer burritos: Spread a
tortilla with whipped cream cheese, a sprinkling of cinnamon
sugar, and line the center with grapes. Roll up for a tasty fruit-lled
burrito.
* For a savory roll-up, spread cream cheese on a sun-dried-
tomato tortilla, and top with sliced turkey. Roll it up and
slice to enjoy.
* Smoothies are a great way to add wholesome fruits
and vegetables into your childs diet. Enhance it with a
spoonful of nut butter for extra staying power.
* Set out a platter of hummus, pita bread and fruit.
Remember that hummus, while traditionally made from
chickpeas, can be made from any type of bean, from
black beans to white beans to pinto beans, and edama-
me (soybeans).
* Top an open-face peanut butter sandwich with ba-
nanas and grapes.
* Create a fresh trail mix with nuts, cheese cubes,
chocolate chips and fresh grapes instead of raisins.
* Pair almond butter with fruit. Spread directly on
apple slices or mix with a little honey for a peanut dip
for colorful grape skewers.
* Frozen grapes are always a cool treat.
* Sometimes it is OK to play with your food! Create
some grape
caterpillars by
threading green
grapes onto
bamboo skew-
ers. To make
eyes on the end
grape, place a
dot of cake ic-
ing on the back
of each of two
mini chocolate
chips and stick
them to the
grape.

Exploring the History of Old Busky Huldy,
a Relic of the Revolution
Old Busky Huldy was the musket used by Sergeant John in the American Revolution and then given to his son John who, in turn, gave it to
his nephew, Benjamin Arnold. In 1926, the musket was presented to the trustees of the Hills Memorial Library by Otis Addison Merrill.
Tis
historic
plaque
identifes the musket as
belonging to Sergeant John and
presented to Hudson by Otis in
1926. Te relationship of Otis
to Sergeant John as stated on the
plaque is not correct.
submitted by Ruth Parker
Patrons and visitors to the Hills Memorial Library may
remember the musket from the American Revolution
displayed under the mantle of the large eld stone
replace at the rear of the main room of the library.
This musket was carried by Sergeant John Merrill
of Nottingham West. John served in Captain Samuel
Greeleys Company at the time of the Lexington Alarm; he
became a sergeant under James Ford in the Bennington
Campaign August 1777. In 1926, Otis Addison Merrill
presented this musket known as Old Busky Huldy to the
trustees of the Hills Memorial Library. This presentation
was made by Otis on behalf of the descendants of Sergeant
Merrill and Otis father, Benjamin.
I became curious about the relationship between
Sergeant John, the carrier of the musket, Otis Addison, the
donor, and Rev. Nathaniel Merrill, the rst settled minister
of Nottingham West.
Rev. Nathaniel Merrill and his wife Elizabeth (Sargent)
had 12 children. Of interest to us here are their older
sons Nathaniel and John. Nathaniel was born Sept. 25,
1739 in Nottingham West; he was appointed an ensign
in the militia in 1764. He married Olive Lund in 1767.
In 1777 he volunteered for service in Starks expedition
to Bennington, Vt. Because of illness he was not able to
serve and sent a substitute. He died of consumption in
1779.
John, a younger brother to Ensign Nathaniel, was born
Oct. 26, 1745 in Nottingham West. He became a sergeant
in the Bennington Campaign. Sergeant John married Sarah
Fletcher in 1797. Their oldest son, John, was born in
1799. This John was a farmer in Tyngsboro, Mass., and did
not marry. Sergeant John died in 1821.
Otis Addison Merrill, a son of Mary Jane (Winn) and
Benjamin Arnold Merrill, was born in Hudson in 1844.
Benjamin Arnold, a son of Sarah (Plumer) (Caton) and
Benjamin Merrill, was born in Nottingham West in 1821.
This Benjamin was a son of Olive (Lund) and Ensign
Nathaniel, and was born in Nottingham West in 1768.
Thus, Otis was a great-great grandson of Rev. Nathaniel
Merrill through Ensign Nathaniel.
At the age of 17, Otis Addison enlisted in the 7th NH
Volunteers and served until the close of the Civil War. He
was an architect in Lowell for many years and in 1901
moved to a farm in East Pepperell, Mass.
The musket was kept in the possession of Sergeant John
as long as he lived and then it passed to the care of his
son John in 1821 who held it in great reverence. During
the last years of his life, John, the son, went to live with
a nephew, Benjamin Arnold Merrill of Hudson. Before
his death in 1886, John took the musket and gave it to
Benjamin Arnold and asked him
to pass it on to his eldest son.
Prior to Benjamins death in
1909, the musket was placed in
the possession of Otis Addison
with the understanding that it
should be given to the Town of
Hudson, NH, and properly cared
for in the Hills Memorial Library. This presentation was
made by Otis in 1926.
Both Otis Addison and his son Rev Boynton participated
in the Hudson bicentennial celebration in 1933. Otis was
one of the guest speakers. Rev Boynton Merrill gave the
bicentennial sermon at the Community Church as he was a
direct descendant of Rev. Nathaniel Merrill, the rst settled
minister of this town.
Sergeant John, the carrier, and Otis, the donor, had a
common ancestor in Rev. Merrill. Sergeant John was the
great grand uncle of Otis.
The ownership of Old Busky Huldy goes as follows.
The musket was carried by Sergeant John Merrill in
the American Revolution who then passed it to his son
John. This John did not marry and spent the last few
years of his life living with a nephew, Benjamin Arnold
Merrill. Before his death in 1886, John gave the musket
to Benjamin Arnold and asked that it be passed to his
oldest son. Prior to his death in 1909, Benjamin Arnold
placed the musket in the possession of his oldest son
Otis with the understanding that it would be given to the
Town of Hudson. In 1926, Otis presented the musket to
the trustees of the Hills Memorial Library where it was
displayed for many years under the mantle of the eld
stone replace. The musket is now in the possession of
Rodgers Memorial Library.
The above was researched and written to explain the
history of Old Busky Huldy and to establish the lineage
of Otis and Sergeant John back to Rev. Nathaniel. In so
doing, we have shown that Sergeant John was the great
grand uncle of Otis; not his great grandfather as previously
published in the Town Report for 1926 and in Town in
Transition.

Te Benjamin Arnold Merrill House was most likely built prior to
1800 by Benjamin Merrill, the father of Benjamin Arnold Merrill.
Tis is the home where John Merrill spent the last years of his life with a
nephew Benjamin Arnold. It was also the childhood home of
Otis Addison and later owned by the Harwood family.
It is now the home of the Gerald Q. Nash Family.

Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down? Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down?
Thumbs up/Thumbs down. If you like your
Obama you can ... If you like your Hillary, you
can ... If you like your Senator Shaheen you can
... Sound familiar? Promises, promises, on and
on. Those who like this Holy Trinity just keep on
drinking the kool-aid!
Thumbs up to the cars that stop for walkers/
runners waiting at the crosswalk at the four-way
stop at Hillcrest and Albuquerque. It is very
dangerous crossing there, to get on the bike/
walking path.
Thumbs up to
roosters. There should
be more of them.
A big thank you to
Jessica, James, and
Jasper for helping Dom
nd his way back
home.
Thumbs up to
all the Litcheld
young men headed
to college, great job!
There is something
right about Litchelds
Graduating Class
of 2014, more than
60% of the young
men are headed to
college. Contrast
this with the national
average of less than
20% of most towns
with the majority
of college students
female. One word of
advice guys, here is
horrible sexism against
men at our nations
campuses where you
are considered the
enemy. Play it safe, be
friendly and nice, but
hands off your female
classmates regardless
of a yes, there is no
more due process and
you are guilty never to
be proven innocent.
Good Luck Guys!
Thumbs up to the
librarians at Rodgers
Memorial Library who
did their best to help
students nd books
for required summer
reading a few days
before school starts.
Thumbs down
to the anti-pie
eating contest
post. Obviously
you live in fear due
to a legitimate, life
consuming food
related disease, be it
obesity or anorexia.
Hopefully, you are
successfully ghting
it. But enough already
of projecting your
disease onto the rest of the
world! Have you stopped to
notice that healthy people arent
condemning food activities?
Healthy people dont post
pictures of every bite they
eat or mile they run on social
media, and dont turn every
conversation into one about food
or exercise. Healthy people
dont try to tell you what to feed
your kids. Healthy people look
at an event at a fair or party and
see it as a simple one time fun
event. Stop trying to save the
world from your problem. Talk to your doctor and
counselor, get help! Clean up your own mental
pantry and stay out of ours.
Thumbs up to Market Baskets reopening, so
glad you are back. I must say it was nice to be
back in the store shopping. I witnessed great
attitudes from all of the workers while shopping on
Friday. I know we all have bad days at work and
unfortunately it is reected in our behavior towards
our customers. So I am hoping that a great deal
has been learned during the strike, and those with
an annoying attitude towards the customers will
change. Again I totally understand we all have
bad days, after all of this just remember how your
customers stood behind your choice and backed
you. Welcome back, you were missed.
Thumbs up the employees at Hannaford - you
did an awesome job. You maintained a positive
attitude while dealing with the extra shoppers
and extra working hours during the Market Basket
shutdown. I am an avid Market Basket shopper,
yet I will say I will be returning to Hannaford on
occasion out of respect for all you endured during
this time.
Thumbs up, thousands
of thumbs are up to the
employees at Market Basket,
for their Labor of Love for one
person; Artie T., just in time for
the Labor Day Weekend. Its
a powerful irony as families
are now rushing back to MB
to stock up to celebrate Labor
Day and the reopening of
Market Basket.
Thumbs down to
the LMS Volleyball.
Its once again proving
not how good you
are but rather how
much money your
parents make. Its
how much you donate
to the team. Its the
popularity of the
student. For shame on
the school system for
allowing this. Thanks
once again for picking
the popular kids rather
than the deserving
kids.
Thumbs down to
the Litcheld Police
Department for not
patrolling Wood
Hawk Way. It seems
that all the new teeny
boppers that are going
to the high school are
using it as a drag way
and speedway. These guys
are doing 70 in a 30 mph
zone. Please send a patrol
car to patrol this area before
something bad happens.
Thumbs up/Thumbs down.
Remember the perfect plan.
First you change policy and the
way you do business overseas.
Second, you wait for retaliation.
Third, you create the perfect lie
to get America to react. Then
you get Halliburton to launder
the prots. Everyone got away
with it. Billions of dollars have
gone missing. Obama and
Hillary Clinton stand in the way
of the thieves who want to prot
from Syria today.
Thumbs up/Thumbs down. Complaining
about the Pope is Gods way of telling you that
youre too rich or you have too much power.
Why does the owner of the Home Depot want to
change the way the Pope thinks? Why must John
McCain complain about the Pope looking out for
the poor? Republicans like to think they are in
charge. The Pope better watch out. Or is it the
other way around. I like what the Pope is doing.
I like what Obama is doing. Ill vote for Hillary
until 2024.
Thumbs down to the abandoned, unregistered
car on the side of Kienia Rd. Its been sitting there
for three months. Lets get it towed out of there!
Thumbs up to pronouncing street names
properly. Kienia is pronounced Keen-ya. There
sure are some wacky pronunciations out there!
Long e as in chief, eld, diesel, kielbasa. And hey
folks, theres an i-a at the end, not simply an a.
Speak it!
Thumbs down in response to the Burnham
Road Cemetery. I love this page as much as the
next person but you need to get your facts straight.
This gentleman that mows it is an independent
person and not a landscaper. He has a very
small budget that he must adhere to this is an
old cemetery and it does not have a lot of money
so if you have no money coming in, there is no
money to mow the lawns as they should. I dont
know what landscapers get but I am sure if this
gentleman was not doing it would look even
worse he has enough money each year to do 3-4
mowings. If you are so concerned, if you frequent
this lovely old cemetery, mow a few rows! Maybe
this will prompt some found money to get this done
more often. Oh, by the way, the cemetery looks
fabulous.

Conveniently located, just off Route 3 in Hudson NH. We are within easy reach
of shopping and banking. Family and friends are all close by.
The walls didnt collapse, but
the whole interior of the building
ended up burning. Several hundred
reghters stayed outside the building
and pumped 23,000 gallons of water
onto the re for a couple hours before
it went out.
In the end, 80 percent of the
building was destroyed with the only
undamaged parts being the main ofce
and the agricultural area in the north
wing. Chesnulevich and the rest of the
reghters succeeded in preserving
those areas.
It (the agricultural wing) was a
separate building. They werent
connected. There was a driveway
in between, He said about the
separation between the main brick
building and the agricultural wing. It
was a hard time keeping the re from
spreading from the north end of the
building. We nally got enough water
on it to keep it from going all the way
to the end.
Chesnulevich estimated that the re
had been burning for about an hour before they arrived on scene.
It remains a mystery as to why no one else had noticed it sooner.
Chesnulevich went on to complete 44 years with the re
department and achieved the rank of deputy chief before retiring
in 2000.
Hudson residents ocked to the scene to see what was left of the
high school later that morning. Students and adults alike could
be seen crying and standing in awe and disbelief at the sight of
destruction in their own town.
We just couldnt believe it. We
could see all the steel bent over
and melted and water was owing
everywhere. It was a mess; I have
never seen anything like it in my life.
It was something you never forget,
longtime resident Shirley Nadeau
remembers after stopping at the scene
while on her way home from church
with her family that morning.
Shawn Jasper, former Hudson
selectman and Hudson native, who
has sat on most of the
town boards, was a
sophomore at Alvirne
at the time, and also
remembers that day
vividly.
He (his father Robert
Jasper) never woke me
up to tell me that my
high school was on re.
He just got up and left
himself. My mother
woke me up a couple
hours later and I biked
down there. By the
time I got down there
the re was out, he
said.
Jasper described the
remains of the school
after the re as a
smoldering mess with
twisted metal where the
gym was.
Everyone was in
a state of disbelief.
School had just started
and the high school was
gone, Jasper said.
In the days that
followed, teachers,
students, and residents
all came out to help comb through the rubble and
salvage as many items as possible.
We actually salvaged a lot of equipment and
some furniture. The staff all pitched in and worked
with the construction people to salvage as much of
the equipment as possible, Dolloff said.
Alvirne secretary Brenda Proulx remembered
rummaging through the remains.
It was a smoky smell. The
bookcases, le cabinets, and a
lot of the furniture smelled quite
bad. We put charcoal bricks in
le cabinets to help get rid of the
smell. It was better, but you could
still smell it. It took many years to
get rid of that odor.
The re department concluded
that the re was a result of arson.
They found accelerant sprayed
along the lockers.
According to Frank (Hudson
re chief at the time) they had
determined who had set it,
but they were already in jail
(serving a sentence of 10 years)
in Massachusetts so they didnt
pursue it. The re marshal advised
it wasnt worth pursuing, Dolloff
said.
The name of the individual
alleged to be responsible for the
re was not available at the time
of press.
Despite the shock and tragedy,
the community of Hudson
was quick to respond with the
overwhelming question of what
to do with 1,200 high school
students from both Hudson and
Litcheld. An emergency meeting
was held the next day. The school
board, school administrators,
Newell Paire the New Hampshire
Commissioner of Education, and
his deputy Bob Brunelle all met to
start an action plan to nd a place
for the students.
After looking into several
venues to use for a temporary
facility, the group chose St. Francis
Churchs school in Nashua.
We had to get those kids
back in. The biggest part of the
project was nding another school
building we could use and we
were able to get St. Francis,
Dolloff said.
The school had been closed for a while and was not being used
at the time. Parents and teachers from Hudson volunteered to
come in and clean the school up and get it ready for use again.
They (St. Francis) were a little hesitant at rst because they
werent sure what kind of problem they would have in the
neighborhood having all these kids there. We then showed them
that we would be able to bus the kids right in and out and they
wouldnt be just hanging around there, Dolloff said.
Acceding to Dolloff, Hudsons fourth graders were then
relocated to St. Francis to create room at Memorial School for
double sessions, which were allowed by the state due to the
emergency situation. The rst session lasted from 7 to 12 in the
morning for the middle school students. Then the high school
students came in during the afternoon from 12 to 5:30.
Overall, the high school students only missed a week out
of school before their transfer to Memorial. Jasper describes
the transition as quick and effective. He also admits the
conditions were not the same as before, but were as well as could
be expected considering the situation.
We had classrooms in the gym. They used portable
chalkboards to create an open concept classroom. It was awful
being there because it was noisy. The acoustics werent designed
for it.
The next step for the town was to rebuild the 80 percent of the
high school that had been destroyed with a price tag of $5 million
in damages.
A special school district meeting was then held to discuss going
before the town to request a $2 million bond for part of the cost.
The bond was then unanimously approved.
We had a big turnout for the special school district meeting,
Dolloff said. In those days we held the special school district
meetings in the Memorial school gymnasium. Id say it was
packed to capacity of around 1,000. There was a lot of emotion;
people really wanted to get the schools going normally.
The $2 million was then combined with insurance money,
around $80,000 from the Alvirne Trustees, and state building aid
to pay for the reconstruction. The state building aid was normally
reserved to fund new school construction, however, an exception
was allowed due to the immediate need for reconstruction.
Many residents credit the speed of the reconstruction to those
who did the work on it. Irving Hersey, who designed the rst
building in 1950, agreed to help design the reconstruction to
make it look like the same building. Davidson Construction did
the construction work, and Hudson resident Leonard Smith also
helped as an architect and contractor. Smiths other projects in
town include the Leonard Smith Fire Station and the original town
hall.
He not only knew the drawings and plans, but knew how to
implement them. He was the ideal person to make that project
come together. There is no doubt in my mind that the project
wouldnt have been completed in a year if it wasnt for Lenny
Smith, Jasper said.
The nished product was ready for the opening day of school
in September of 1975, and was widely appreciated by the
community. Many said it was even better than the rst one.
It was a great feeling walking into it the rst time because the
building was so new and clean. We went from that old building
that was nothing to write home about to this new state-of-the-art
building, Jasper said.
The building still stands to this day as more than just an
award-winning high school in New Hampshire. Its design and
infrastructure is also a reminder of how 40 years ago a community
came full circle from tragedy to triumph through unity and
perseverance.

It wasnt the textbook execution of a game plan that rst-year
Campbell Coach Gary Karibian wanted to see in his season opener,
however, a hat-trick performance from scoring sensation Nikki
Golden helped subside those concerns for a while. Golden found
the back of the net three times in leading the Lady Cougars to a 4-3
win over Pelham in the home opener in Cougar Country.
Campbell got off to a shaky start when they coughed up the
sphere in their own end early in the contest. Fortunately, the
turnover which resulted in an excellent scoring bid for Pelhams
Morgan Pinksten, just 20 seconds in, went wide. However, at the
37:41 mark, Golden scored the rst of her three goals, beating PHS
keep Shyanne Skinner to the ball and nding an open net for a 1-0
Cougar lead.
Six minutes later, the Lady Snakes struck back. A Cougar
defensive breakdown prompted a shout from the Pelham sidelines.
Pink, thats a great run, barked rst-year Pelham Coach Jon Hall
of Morgan Pinkstens entry into the attack zone that resulted in a
Lauren Anderson goal; with the assist going to midelder Taylor
Burke, tying the score at one apiece. Anderson would later leave
the game after suffering an upper-body injury.
With 15:30 showing on the rst-half clock, Golden, from Emily
Moreau, notched her second tally of the game to regain the lead.
With the Cougars dominating the ow of the game, Hannah Neild
just missed making it 3-1 when she drilled a shot from 25 yards out
that whistled by the left post. But 37 seconds later, Neild did make
her way onto the stat sheet when a routine grounder off her foot
towards the goal was misplayed by the PHS keep for a
3-1 CHS cushion going into the intermission.
Once again in the early moments of the second
half, Campbell was victimized for standing around
in the defensive end. Just 2:47 in, Pelham cut their
decit in half when Kiera Garrett, while strategically
positioned in the box, drove a shot past Cougar keep
Jamie Jutras. In the ensuing dozen minutes, scoring
chances from Golden, Kali Trunca and Neild went
unanswered; setting the stage for a Python strike.
With 16:58 left in the contest, Brooke Paradis
made the Cougars pay. She unleashed a brutal shot
toward the Cougar net from 35 yards out, prompting a
Pelham supporter to bellow; Oh, thats a great shot.
And right he was as Paradis shot, going from left to
right, found the back right corner past a diving Jutras;
knotting the score at 3-3.
The Cougars would respond. Just 1:11 later, Golden
capped-off her three-goal performance when she was
sent in alone, beating Skinner for what proved to be
the deciding goal while also prompting PHS Coach
Hall to instruct; somebodys got to account for six,
referring to the lethal Lady Cougar.
After the game, Coach Karibian shared his thoughts:
Overall, Im very pleased. I think we can build off
this game and certainly there are things that we can
do better. Regarding the offensive savior of the day,
Karibian said of Golden, Nikki starting with a hat-
trick is not a bad way to start the season. Karibian
went on to commend the play of Olivia Crema and
Kali Trunca. With respect to his competition for the
day, the coach offered a complimentary assessment,

Alvirne Set for Fall Sports Season
by Marc Ayotte
Headlining the return of another year of
athletic competition in Bronco Nation is the
boys soccer team, whose quest will be to try
and get back to the D-I championship contest.
Elsewhere, the football team has a new coach
patrolling the sidelines and the boys cross
country team hopes to improve upon a stellar
2013 season that saw them nish 6th in the
state. Additionally, the girls volleyball team
has its sights on improving upon last years
semi-nals appearance.
Football
Enthusiasm reigns supreme on the gridiron
this season as veteran Coach Tim Walsh brings
his 40 years of coaching expertise to the
maroon and gold. In a veritable whos who in
the high school and college coaching ranks,
Walsh and his staff, which includes three AHS
alum, have brought a positive attitude into
camp. With two collegiate national titles (1977,
1979) on his resume while heading up the football program at the
University of Lowell, Walsh will undoubtedly have his Broncos
ready to compete in a tough Division I schedule.
Weve got a great attitude with tremendous leadership in the
seniors, revealed Walsh on media day that was held on the Bronco
football eld on Saturday, August 30. One of Walshs goals during
preseason is to develop more depth, something he says is crucial
in Division I. Were trying not to have too many kids going both
ways, offered the former Bishop Guertin offensive coordinator.
Three offensive threats on the eld this year will be Ethan
Rainville (FB), Brycen Yarmo (a 6 foot 5 inch, 240-pound TE) and
wide receiver Andrew Stevens, who at 6 feet 2 inches, 205 pounds,
has the talent to rack up his Y.A.C. (yards after catch) totals as well
as the size to inict some serious hurt on defensive backs around
the league. In addition to an adept tailback in Jack Mahoney, the
Broncos will see the return under center of Dan Brown, who will
be at the QB position on opening day after missing all of last season
on the shelf. He comes from an athletic family and he has real
good command of the offense. Its like having another coach on the
eld, expressed Walsh. Alvirne opens up the season on the road at
Pinkerton on Friday, September 5.
Volleyball
Coach Joe Walz is back for his second season as head coach for
the Lady Broncos volleyball team. After a successful debut last year
that saw his team post a 14-4 regular season mark as well as make
it to the D-I nal four, Walz will be welcoming back ve returners
as well as some new talent. Leading the talent pool will be Malory
Coronis, who as a junior, will be looking to ll the role of outside
hitter vacated by her sister Marissa, who graduated this past June.
Shell have a huge impact on the team, offered Walz. Well be
using her as a go-to person.
Also earning praise from their coach are Steph Jones who as a
setter, will be taking over the team this year; co-captain Jess Baker
will play a huge part as a right side hitter; and Lauren Donahue,
another co-captain who will be playing the other setter. In looking
to run a 6-2 formation, Walz says of his squad:
Offensively we are a strong team this year and
looking to utilize as many of the hitters as we can.
But theres always room to improve.
Boys Cross Country
The boys X-C team is returning a solid core of
runners that features ve qualiers to the Meet
of Champions in 2013. The kids came in, in
great shape; were looking for a real competitive
season, acknowledged Coach Tom Daigle.
Leading the depth charts for AHS will be the
talented trio of Noah Bellomo (sophomore), Phil
Demers (senior) and Kendall Westhoff (junior)
who won the Bronco-hosted cross country 5K
fundraiser back in August. Adding to Daigles
deep roster will be: Noah Cote, Frank Cunniff,
Mike Gagnon, Kyle Saunders, John Sojka, Brendan
Lavalley along with a quartet of new hopefuls
in freshmen Cameron Mooers, Matt Robert and
James Descoteaux and Uzair Khalid. The Broncos
get their season off and running when they host a
tri-meet on September 9 against Bishop Guertin
and Pinkerton.
Golf
This season could prove to be challenging for
the Bronco golf team. Without the services of
last years number one player, the top spot will
most likely be lled by sophomore Jack Brown
who battled for the position in 2013 but was
anchored-in at the number 2 slot. Brown will
be accompanied by Jeremy Dowd (junior) and
senior Co-Captain, Grant Nuttall. Also making
her presence felt is freshman, Jessica Lortie.
Rounding out the probable remaining eight
players who compete during each match (with
the top 5 scores contributing to the team score)
are Oliver Thomas, Curtis Richall (of Bronco
hockey goalie fame), Nick Boudreau and Brett
Pitre.
Girls Cross Country
The rst meet of the season for the girls team
will be on September 6, when they compete
at the Souhegan Relays. In admitting that this
summer, many of our girls logged a lot of miles,
Head Coach Jeff DiPrizito sees staying healthy as
a team as the key to a successful season. The
hard work should pay off and we should see
an improvement in our divisional standing, noted DiPrizito of last
years 14th place nish in the D-I standings. The top-four returning
runners for the Lady Broncos will be (based on last years state
meet): Shaylyn Saunders, 10th grade (37th overall), Katie Bellomo,
10th grade (77th overall), Kendra Mulligan, 10th grade (101st
overall) and Lizzie Katsohis, 11th grade (107th overall). Katie Lipsky
joins those four as the only other returning letter winner. Promising
newcomers, according to DiPrizito, are Keanna Smigliani, 10th
grade; Jenna Bradish, ninth grade; and freshman Leah Nicholson.
Boys Soccer
Although we graduated ten players from last year, we are
condent that if we work hard every day we will give ourselves
a chance come playoffs. The impactful element of Coach Jeff
Blackwells assessment lies in the staggering loss of a host of players
that led AHS to Bill Ball Stadium last year to compete in the title
game against Hanover.
Returning from last years team which posted a 14-2 regular
season record and needing a stellar season if the Broncos are
to make it deep into the playoffs is Brett Richardson. Though
Richardson is the marquee senior coming back this year, he is
accompanied by some talented classmates in Matt Lubinski,
forward; Jake Schoeld, goalkeeper; Nick Sweeney, defender; and
Andrew Teague, midelder, in addition to sophomore midelder
Nate Gosselin. Still, despite the mass exodus that Blackwell
and assistant coach Al Conti, each in their fourth season, have
experienced, they remain energetic and enthusiastic about the
upcoming season.
Girls Soccer
The Lady Broncos are facing a similar situation as their brethren
on the soccer eld. (We have a) young team returning to Division
one play, acknowledged Head Coach Lance McAdam whose squad
nished with a respectable 12-5-1 mark in 2013. McAdam went on
to say, (We) should get better with every game and look to peak just
in time for the playoffs. Talent-wise, the AHS coach noted that his
team has plenty of skill to compete in Division I; its just in need of a
little more experience.
Providing the experience his team does enjoy are: Returning
starters: Jillian Houle, sophomore, defender; Kayla Juliano,
junior mid; Erin Rosier, JR Def; Danielle Ross, junior FWD; Sarah
McAdam, senior mid; Brianna Wiggans, senior mid; and Samantha
Gianelli, junior GK. Returning letter winners include Kristin DeCost,
sophomore fwd, and Hannah Croce, junior mid.
Griffth Looks to Rebound
as he Heads to Star Speedway
submitted by Eric LaFleche
Derek Grifth, the pro-stock
driver from Hudson, is looking
to rebound after a pair of
disappointing nishes as the GSPSS
returns to the quarter-mile Star
Speedway in Epping.
The 17-year-old driver of the
No. 12 Moms of Manchester/LCM
Racing Toyota recently nished in
the eighth position after a series
of misfortunes during the Hudson
Hugger at Hudson International
Speedway back on August 23.
Derek remarked, We are not
very happy with the way things
turned out, we
needed to nish
strong at our home
track and we just
couldnt nd our rhythm. I know that Star
(Speedway) will be different.
Were tied with Barry (Gray) for fourth
in the points. We really dont think about
the points all that much, but as the season
winds down, our focus is to get the best
nishes possible and to nish out the
season as best we can.
The last time the GSPSS raced at Star was
August 16. Grifth nished in a season-
low 18th place as he and Larry Gelinas tangled early
on, however, Derek consistently runs in the top 5 at Star
Speedway and is looking for his rst career Granite State
Pro Stock Series victory.
Derek will be in action on September 6 at Star
Speedway for 100 laps with the GSPSS. The post time is
6 p.m.
