33rd Annual Litchfield Fishing Derby

Kids Casting for Fun

by Tom Tollefson
Staff photos by Tom Tollefson
Dozens of children gathered around Chase Brook Pond in Litchfield last
Saturday morning. Dozens of youngsters cast their rods into the local pond at
the 33rd annual Kids Fishing Derby, sponsored by the Litchfield Conservation
Commission for just as many years.
The day was all about fun, but with a small dose of friendly competition.
Prizes were awarded to the children with the largest fish caught in the two age
groups of under 8 and 8-15. The first two finishers in each age group received
fishing poles, while the third-place finishers were awarded bait kits.
Each child was limited to five fish. It was free to fish, and none of the
children needed a fishing license since the state of New Hampshire does not
require anyone under 16 to have a fishermans license.
We keep it so that kids dont need a license. Its strictly for fun,
Conservation Commission member Marion Godzik said.
Many of the fathers in attendance enjoyed taking the opportunity to teach
their children how to fish. They also enjoyed watching their children catch fish.
The pond is stocked pretty heavy, so theyll catch something. It can get
pretty boring for kids if they dont get any fish, said John Barna, a Litchfield
resident and seasoned fisherman who came with his son, Cameron.
Last week, the pond was fully stocked for the year with a total of 400 fish.
The Conservation Commission bought 200 fish and the state matched it by
supplying an additional 200 fish. The fish included brookies (brook trout) and
rainbow trout ranging between 6 to 13 inches in length.

Some of the Hudson VFW Loyalty Day Award recipients gather with their certificates.

by Jay Hobson
The Veterans of Foreign Wars, Hudson Memorial Post 5791, and its auxiliaries
held their annual Loyalty Day Awards program on May 8, recognizing various
recipients who showed patriotism and heroism.
According to a program given to guests at the ceremony, Loyalty Day is observed
on May 1 in the United States, a day set aside for the reaffirmation of loyalty to
the country and for the recognition of the heritage of American freedom. It was
made an official holiday by the U.S. Congress on July 18, 1958. President Dwight
D. Eisenhower proclaimed May 1, 1959, the first official observance of Loyalty
Day. Although a legal holiday, it is not a federal holiday, and many people in the
United States remain unaware of it. This is a great day to honor those who give of
themselves within the community and help support the loyalty of U.S. veterans.
Because the towns of Litchfield and Londonderry have closed their VFW posts,
the Hudson post has absorbed those members, and those towns are represented in
the issuing of the awards, according to Hudson Post Commander Mike Duston.

Post Awards:

Ladies Auxiliary Post 5791: Hayley Parrot
As the recipient of the Ladies Auxiliary Loyalty Day award, Parrot has been
volunteering for our organization since the age of 8 and for the last four years has
taken complete charge of elf duties and helping Santa give out Toys for Tots. As
members of the auxiliary we have watched her grow into a dedicated and caring
person, said Ladies Auxiliary President Kate Ouellette.
Mens Auxiliary Post 5791: Bryan Conant
The recipient for the Mens Auxiliary Loyalty Day award joined the mens
auxiliary a little over a year ago under his fathers eligibility, a retired Air Force
officer. Since joining, they have been active participants in many post and
auxiliary events. Bryan has become a trustee and joined the honor guard where he
is the honor guard captain, all this while going to college to become a nurse and
working as an ambulance dispatcher. Bryan is a graduate of Alvirne High School
where he was a former AFJROTC cadet, said Post Commander Duston.

Remember Hudson When ...


St. Johns and Library Street School c. 1977
submitted by Ruth Parker
This familiar school on Library Street was
built in 1957 by St. Johns Church as a private
parochial school. During the year, 1974-75,
the church found it necessary to close the
school. The Hudson School Board and officials
of the church worked on a mutually agreeable
contract, so that all Hudson students could be
accommodated.
St. Johns School was re-opened in the fall
of 1975 as part of the public school system of
Hudson. The town leased the school from St.
Johns for that first year with an option to renew
for up to two years.

As a part of this lease agreement, St. Johns


Church would use the facilities during nonschool hours for its Confraternity Christian
Doctrine (CCD) classes. The town purchased the
property in July 1976 at a cost to the district of
$616,000; a significant savings when compared
to the cost of new construction at the estimated
$1.2M. After this purchase the school was
renamed Library Street School. Today this
school at 22 Library Street is part of the towns

Information Liaison
At 8:51 a.m.,
Thursday, May 7, a
resident living on
Glasgow Circle notified
Hudson Fire Alarm of
a house fire. While
en route to the scene,
Captain Todd Hansen
noticed a large column
of smoke coming from
the area of the fire and
requested a working
fire. A short time
later he arrived at the
address and found a
one-story single-family,
heavily involved, and
requested a second
alarm.
Firefighters initially
made an interior attack
in the home, but fire soon shot through the
roof, and all companies were removed from
the building. Large diameter hose lines poured
thousands of gallons of water into the building
knocking down the heavy fire. Firefighters
re-entered the building to extinguish any
remaining hot spots. The fire was placed under
control at 9:23 a.m.
Two people were transported from the scene
with unknown injuries related to the fire. There
were no firefighter injuries reported. The fire
remains under investigation.

Responding to the scene were 17 firefighters,


officers, prevention officers and chief officers
from the Central, Burns Hill and Robinson

The Word Around Town...

Letters to our Editor


Jeanie Barkley Memorial Blood
Drive Planned for June 12
When you think of memorializing a friend, you may
think of a garden, or a plaque, or maybe even having a
meeting placed named after you. Would you think of a
blood drive? I do.
The Jeanie Barkley Memorial Blood Drive is being
held on June 12 at the Hudson Community Center
from 12 to 7 p.m. The Red Cross is running this blood
drive in memory of Jeanie, and it is the eighth annual
drive to remind us of her undying spirit of volunteering
and the betterment of her fellow man.
Jeanie was a tireless volunteer for the town of
Hudson. She was always seen at the schools, sporting
events, band events, Girl Scout gatherings, church
outings, pretty much everywhere. She had a beautiful
smile, a signature giggle and a tireless drive to volunteer
her time to give back to the community that gave so
much to her family. She was always following her girls
to every event, parade, competition and gathering.
With her husband by her side, they were seen pretty
much everywhere.
Jeanie was taken from us much too soon. Diagnosed
with Aplastic Anemia in 2006, she underwent over
100 transfusions to help her with basic daily activities.
Her body did not produce the life giving cells that she
needed. She was amazed at how many people had to
give blood in order for her to receive blood. A selfless

Giving is good. If you are able to donate blood,
please call the Red Cross and schedule an appointment.
Or you can drop by to donate any time between 12

pints of blood from this drive alone; we are hoping to
continue our trend of giving back to the community in

What are You going to do?


Len Lathrops editorial addresses an issue that I have
been wondering about my entire political life, that is,
voter apathy. The last presidential election drew just
under 75% of the registered voters of Hudson. That
is not too bad. I do not know how many people are
eligible to vote but do not register. The last nonpresidential, gubernatorial election in 2014 drew just
under 50% of Hudsons registered voters. However the
last town election, this past March 10 drew a whopping
16.7% of the registered voters.
Mr. Lathrops question, Are We Suffering from
Parental Apathy? would be better formulated Are we
suffering from apathy? Period. At least when it comes
to local elections. Comparatively, parents probably
form a greater than 50% block of voters in town
elections, judging by the relative attendance at the
town deliberative session versus the school deliberative
session. 50% of 16.7%.
Those people who do vote in town elections
probably just have a gut full and if they are going to
get off their backside and vote, they will vote no on
everything across the board.
So myself and others, while we may differ on why
it is important to vote in local elections, we know it
is important none-the-less. I like to stay involved in
local elections to let people know, among other things,
they can nullify what they do not like at the federal
or state level. Mr. Lathrops concern is so where are
these same dedicated parents when it comes to their
childrens schools? Your concern might be something
different entirely.
What are you going to do about it?

Ayotte Introduces Bill to Help


States Repair Deficient Bridges
submitted by the Ofce of
U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte
U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) introduced
legislation on Tuesday, May 12 that would
help New Hampshire and other states repair
or maintain bridges classified as deficient. The
Strengthening Americas Bridges Act is based on
an amendment that Ayotte introduced earlier this
year during consideration of the Keystone bill.
The legislation would create the Strengthening
Americas Bridges Fund and authorize the U.S.
Department of Transportation to provide grants to
states to repair or replace bridges - addressing an
important need in New Hampshire, where almost
one-third of bridges are classified as structurally
deficient or functionally obsolete.
Almost a third of New Hampshires bridges
are in need of replacement or repair, presenting
public safety and transportation challenges for
Granite Staters. My legislation would reduce
fraud associated with the Additional Child Tax
Credit and use those savings to pay for important
infrastructure projects like repairing and replacing
deficient bridges, said Senator Ayotte.

According to the Federal Highway


Administration, as of December 2014, about onethird of New Hampshires 2,467 bridges are rated
structurally deficient or functionally obsolete.
Ayottes amendment would make a simple fix in
the tax code to require that filers children have
Social Security Numbers in order to qualify for
the Additional Child Tax Credit, which the Joint
Committee on Taxation estimates could save an
estimated $20 billion over 10 years. The savings
would be used to finance the Strengthening
Americas Bridges Fund and allow the Department
of Transportation to work with New Hampshire to
replace or repair these bridges.
In 2011, the treasury inspector general reported
that individuals who were not authorized to work
in the U.S. received $4.2 billion by claiming
the ACTC. The ACTC is the refundable portion
of the Child Tax Credit, which can reduce an
individuals taxes owed by as much as $1,000 for
each qualifying child. Under current law, there is
no requirement that the filer - or the child - have
a SSN to qualify. The absence of such commonsense requirements has led to massive fraud.

Adolescents are risk takers, educate yourselves, said panelist Susan
Allen. She added there are great resources out there on how to start
a discussion, including at www.DrugFreeNH.org.
With tears, another audience member spoke about her son,
sharing their familys heartbreaking story. Please listen to what Alex
is saying. Dont think it cant happen to you. And clean out your
medicine cabinets, she said.
The recent announcement by the Gloucester, Mass., Police

Deputy Chief Tice wants to draw some attention to the problem

Hudson Police do not, a fact that Alexs sister said she would like
to see changed. Why shouldnt the police have Narcan? I would

Boys from Hudson Cub Scout Pack 21 had a great day last
Saturday, May 10, at the yearly Chuck Wagon Derby. Packs 20,
21 and 252 all competed in the event against all the wagons from
Litchfield to Wilton in events like physical fitness, first aid, and
knots.
Pack 252 did great with its two wagons taking the first- and
second-place awards. Pack 20 and 21 had three other wagons,

having all three in the top 11 out of 16 wagons overall. The Cubs
also competed in disability awareness doing a blindfold walk,
with one Cub guiding another by voice only. They also had some
fun events like shooting Nerf darts at zombie 2-liter bottles. That
brings up the theme for the event, which was Zombie Slayer Boot
Camp. The yearly event always has a fun theme, with the games
re-named to follow that theme. Prior events have been based on
Star Wars and the Wild West.

Fragala Brothers Lead Derry-Londonderry, Hudson Chamber Boards


Situation believed to be a first in history of NH chambers
submitted by Will Stewart, Greater Derry
Londonderry Chamber of Commerce
In what is believed to be a first in New Hampshire
Chamber of Commerce history, two brothers are
leading two adjoining chambers in 2015.
Seth Fragala, chair of the Greater Derry
Londonderry Chamber of Commerce Board of
Directors, assumed his post at the beginning of
2015. His younger brother, Ryan Fragala, is now in
his second term at the helm of the Greater Hudson
Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors.
In speaking with my chamber counterparts
across the state, such a situation appears to be
unprecedented, said Greater Derry Londonderry
Chamber of Commerce President Will Stewart.
The Fragala brothers grew up in Litchfield and
attended Alvirne High School in Hudson. Seth
graduated from Rivier College in 2000, while Ryan
graduated in 2006 from the University of New
Hampshire. Both brothers are currently employed
by Financial Insurance Services, which was founded
by their father, Samuel Fragala, in 1985.
Based in the firms Londonderry office, Seth
serves as the companys president and is licensed
in property and casualty insurance along with life,

accident, and health insurance. He focuses on the


writing and handling of the commercial insurance
clients along with individual and group health
needs.
Ryan, based in the firms Hudson office, is
the companys vice president and is licensed in
property and casualty insurance while also holding
a Massachusetts P&C license. He focuses on the
writing and servicing of personal lines clients.
The Fragala brothers said they look forward
to working together this year to benefit both
organizations. Indeed, both chambers recently
agreed to host a Joint Chamber Golf Classic at
Campbells Scottish Highlands in Salem on Monday,
Sept. 14.
The Greater Derry Londonderry Chamber of
Commerce is a nonprofit business advocacy
organization made up of voluntary members from
the regions business community. Members invest
their time and money to further their collective
interests, while advancing economic prosperity in
their communities and across the region. Learn
more at gdlchamber.org.

Fragala brothers lead two adjoining chambers of commerce, an unprecedented occurrence.

If it is not removed, plaque
can lead to tooth decay and
gum disease.
A worn-out toothbrush
cannot effectively clean off
that plaque. Also, bent or
broken bristles can injure your
gums. Although individuals
vary in how quickly they wear
out a new toothbrush,
generally your toothbrush is
maximally effective for about
one season. If you replace
your brush each summer,
autumn, winter, and spring, it
will always be up-to-date in
plaque fighting effectiveness -never part of history.

Cookies Chuck Wagon was opened in 1992 with the idea of


being different from the average stop, eat and leave diner, explains
owner Dave Gilbert. Everyone is invited to make themselves at
home and even bring in a personal coffee cup to use when visiting.
In an effort not to be just another diner, Gil is always trying
different things to create that community feel, and turn customers
into friends. Well start with Mugville.
Mugville is your social meeting place, where you can bring in
your personal coffee mug, meet your friends for breakfast or just
coffee and maybe a muffin and catch
up on the happenings in each others
life face-to-face. Its the place to
go to get out of the house and enjoy
good food and good friends and
maybe make some new friends at the
same time. And when you bring your
Breakfast Rewards Club card you get
5 percent back too.
Oh ya, and there is Free Wi-Fi

Hudson - Litchfield News | May 15, 2015 - 11

by Jay Hobson
Congresswoman Annie Kuster (D-NH) announced the
reintroduction of her bill, the Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Prevention Act, during an event at the Hudson Fire Department
last Wednesday.
Kuster said that her bill would help states implement important
programs that reduce the risk of death by carbon monoxide
poisoning.
New Hampshire Fire Marshal J. William Degnan joined her at
the entrance to the fire station for the announcement.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, carbon
monoxide poisoning results in over 400 deaths and 20,000
emergency visits each year, Kuster said.
Kuster said that this past winter, there were two incidents
in Hudson in which people were treated for severe carbon
monoxide poisoning, and just last year, three people died after a
carbon monoxide poisoning incident in Plaistow.
Im proud to introduce this legislation, which would help
protect New Hampshire families from the grave dangers of carbon
monoxide poisoning, Carbon monoxide poisoning is the leading
cause of accidental poisoning death in the United States, and is
a particular concern in cold-weather states like New Hampshire.
We must ensure that families have the resources they need, which
in many cases, is something as simple as a properly functioning
CO detector, to heat their homes safely and without incident.

brought crews from
Hudson, Londonderry,
Bedford and Derry to
assist at the scene, with
Merrimack covering the
station.
Frank Fraitzl,
Litchfields chief officer, explained in a phone
interview that the fire started on a back porch
and entered the house through a kitchen window,
causing heavy damage to the kitchen. The fire
got into the ceiling and the eaves, which led to
heavy smoke damage. No one was at home at
the time of the fire. One firefighter was slightly

announces the re-submission of her bill, the
Carbon Monoxide Prevention Act, at the
Hudson Fire Station as Hudson Deputy
Fire Chief John OBrien listens.

I urge Congress to swiftly pass my bill into law, Kuster


said.
Kuster said that anything, such as a fuel burning appliance
like a gas clothes dryer, stove or furnace is improperly or
malfunctions.
When the (carbon monoxide) gas builds up inside the
home it can lead to illness or even death, Kuster said.
Kuster said that her bill will establish a federal grant
program to help states implement CO prevention education
programs, and to help pay for the installation of CO
detectors in schools and in the homes of elderly and lowincome residents.
These grants would be prioritized for states like New
Hampshire that require the installation of CO detectors, and
would encourage other states to follow the Granite States
example. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) is the sponsor
of companion legislation in the U.S. Senate, Kuster said.
As the state fire marshal here in New Hampshire my
mission is to protect life property and the environment
from fire and related hazards and as such I am extremely
supportive of the Carbon Monoxide Prevention Act. Carbon
monoxide is a silent killer and CO alarms are your first
means of notification that the hazard of CO exists in your
home or where you sleep. With these alarms we have an
opportunity to prevent these types of injuries and deaths,
Degnan said.

injured. The chief related that about 4,000


gallons of water were used to extinguish the
fire, which all comes from portable tankers as
Litchfield has no fire hydrants.
They were 33 firefighters on scene and 11
pieces of apparatus.
The state fire marshal is investigating the cause.

Eversource, National Grid


Offer Explanation of Overhead
Transmission Line
at Hudson Memorial
by Len Lathrop
Thursday night saw the multimedia room at
Hudson Memorial School filled with displays,
presentations and people as a means of explaining
what is called the Merrimack Valley Reliability
Program. This program is a combined effort
between National
Grid and Eversource
to improve reliability
and address growing
electricity demands.
A strong electrical
transmission system
is vital to this regions
safety, security and
economic prosperity,
according to MVRP.
This proposed
project is a 345-kilovolt
overhead transmission
line, about 24.5 mile
long and running in
existing utility rightsof-way between
Londonderry, N.H.,
and Tewksbury, Mass.
This $123 million project will include $41 million
spent in Massachusetts and roughly $82 million
in New Hampshire. While this project still needs
regulatory approval, the meeting on Hudson
on May 7 was the beginning of taking input on
the project. According to its representatives,
Eversource hopes the project will begin in 2016
and be operational in 2017.
Eversource representatives explained at the May
7 meeting that the regulatory approval process is
required from both state authorities as well as the
federal and state permitting agencies. National
Grid and Eversource representatives provide
extensive community outreach to inform and elicit
feedback about the project from neighbors, public

officials, and other stakeholders.


The project would add 24.5 miles of
345-kilovolt and 115-kilovolt overhead lines,
connecting the Scobie Pond substation in
Londonderry to a substation in Tewksbury,
Mass. About 18 miles of that line would be
in New Hampshire,
including eight miles in
Londonderry and 2.5
miles in Hudson, most
of it along Eversource
power corridors that
were created in the
1960s. There also are
two miles in Windham
and a little over five
miles in Pelham on the
National Grid corridor.
In Hudson, the
project will be in
the existing right-ofway that runs along
Hudsons border with
Londonderry in the
area of Kienia Road
and David Drive; maps
outlining the route are available at www.MA-NH
Solution.com.
While this proposed project hasnt started on the
power line work, New Hampshire has switched
seasons from winter to construction. Work on all
the power corridors in Hudson has started but is
not part of the MVRP proposal. Expect to see a lot
of corridor-cleaning tree cutting on existing rightsof-way as has been seen on River Road with that
corridor. On the corridor that crosses Route 102,
passersby can see new metal poles being installed.
This is not the Merrimack Valley Reliability Project
but ongoing maintenance work, and 160-kilovolt
line will be installed on that right-of-way,
replacing some of the wooden poles.

The headline does not refer to the passage of time, but to the
serious public health issue faced in New Hampshire and more
specifically Hudson. The southern tier communities
(of which Hudson is one) currently have the highest
rate of Lyme disease in the state. With that said,
the passage of time is extremely important in A)
removing a tick and B) receiving treatment when
symptoms appear.
Greater than 60 percent of ticks are testing
positive for Lyme disease in Hillsborough and
Rockingham counties. Sixty percent! The State of
New Hampshire Department of Health and Human

Services has issued an official Health Alert. This is not to be taken


lightly. The key points and recommendations they have issued are
Prevent disease through the use of repellant using DEET

The staff of Alvirne High School wants to raise awareness and
educate students about the service and sacrifice of wounded
veterans. They believe they can do this by taking part in a
statewide called Operation Hat Trick program.
This spring, 61 New Hampshire high schools will participate in
something very unique - the Operation Hat Trick NH High School
Initiative. Participating schools will proudly display their logos on
a special camouflage Operation Hat Trick hat that their students
will wear during OHT Awareness Week. Athletic directors have
been very successful organizing their student athletes to fundraise
for these OHT hats. It is projected that the Operation Hat Trick
NH High School Initiative will raise close to $70,000 toward
supporting state programs dedicated to promoting awareness and
recovery of veterans. The donation from NH high schools is the
largest donation received by OHT to date.
I am extremely proud of New Hampshire high schools,
explained OHT Founder Dot Sheehan. This is an extremely
important initiative as there is great need among recovering
veterans in New Hampshire. I want to thank all of the athletic
directors for their leadership, passion and energy in getting
this done. The monies raised will help
so many veterans and it is very much
appreciated.
At Alvirne High School this week,
two veterans were recognized at the
varsity baseball game on Monday, May
11. Senior Greg Emanuelson and his
grandfather, Richard Soucy, along with
senior Derek Hudson and junior Jacen
Hudson and their grandfather, Richard
Wyricz. Soucy served in the Air Force
between 1955-1959. He retired from
the Nashua Fire Department as the
deputy chief after serving 30 years.
He is the father of six children and
has 21 grandchildren and five greatgrandchildren. Wyricz is a Vietnam
veteran who served in Unit HMO 167
as a Marine sergeant from 1968-1972.
While serving in Vietnam, he was with
the helicopter squadron and was also an

Hudson Stays on Point, Broncos Blank Blue Hawks

by Zack Miller
Monday proved to be one of Alvirnes toughest tests of the year
to date, as the Exeter Blue Hawks came to town. Exeter sits atop
the Division I rankings, with only a handful of games left on the
year, while the Broncos now occupy the fourth spot in the division.
In a heart-wrenching matchup, Alvirne came out on top, holding
the Blue Hawks scoreless in a 2-0 defeat that saw Bronco pitcher,
Derek Hudson, go the distance.
If there was a game where Hudson had to be on his game, it was
this one. In the top of the first, he got the first three Blue Hawks
retired in order, with two of them going down looking for his first
and second strikeouts of the day. In the bottom of the second, he
got some help from the offense, in the form of a McCrystal RBI sacfly that brought home J. Hudson, making the score 1-0 in favor of
Alvirne. Hudson had reached on a single to left field to start off the
inning, then stole second, and finally reached third, after LaMothe
grounded out to the shortstop for the second out of the inning.
In the top of the third, Hudson gave up a double to right center to
start the inning, but that runner didnt wind up going anywhere. The
Bronco pitcher got the next two batters to go down swinging for his
third and fourth Ks of the afternoon. Alvirne would threaten in
the bottom half of the inning, as Rauseo singled up the middle with
two outs, and advanced to second on an errant pick-off attempt to
first base. Rauseo was ultimately left stranded as Emanuelson flew
out to center to end the inning.
After getting out of a jam in the top of the fourth, Hudson would
lead off the bottom half of the inning with a walk. J. Hudson then
reached base on a bad throw by Exeters third baseman on a routine
ground ball, which allowed Derek Hudson to advance to second.

LaMothe came up next, and laid down a sacrifice bunt back


to the pitcher, which moved the runners along, doing its job.
McCrystal then came to the plate and drew the second walk of the
inning for the Broncos, which loaded the bases. Simard was the
next batter, who put a drive into one out to left field for a sacrifice
fly that brought Derek Hudson home, bringing the score to 2-0.
After a scoreless fifth for both teams, Hudson got into his second
jam of the game. After retiring the first batter, he gave up back to
back singles to put runners on first and second with only one out.
He would calmly strikeout the next Exeter batter for his fifth K
of the day, and then got the next batter to pop out to McKinley at
shortstop to end the top half of the inning. Alvirne would go down
one, two, three in the bottom of the sixth, failing to add some more
insurance heading into the potential final frame of the game.
The top of the seventh proved to be a stressful half inning for
the home team. Hudson got the first batter to lineout to Brown
at second base, and then gave up a single to the next batter.
He then would record his sixth, and final, strikeout of the day
for the second out. The next batter for Exeter would swing,
and miss, at strike three, but, the ball would scoot away from
Emanuelson, who couldnt locate it. The Exeter batters would
wind up at second and third because of the length of time it
took to locate the ball. Hudson had ice in his veins though, as
he got the final Blue Hawk player to ground out to second base,
ending the game, by a score of 2-0.
The Broncos have now won three in a row, and during that
win streak, have not given up one single run to an opponent,
moving their overall record to 8-4 on the year.

As the middle part of the softball season has
passed, the Alvirne Softball team keeps chugging
right along.
On Friday, May 8, the team squeaked by the
Crimson Tide of Concord High School, by a score
of 3-1. Nicole Teague continued her dominant
season as she improved her record to 8-1, picking
up the W. She had six Ks to go along with
four walks, while only giving up four hits and one
earned run. On the offensive side, Sara Siteman
was two for three, registering a single and triple
as her two hits, while driving in one run in the
process. Liz Derosa batted .500 on the day, also
registering two hits, both coming as singles, and
also drove in a run of her own. Ashley Silva and
Teague both recorded two hits as well in the win.
On Monday, the 11th, the Broncos were back
in action again this time going on the road to face
the Blue Hawks of Exeter High School. Alvirne
was also victorious in this contest, as they held
Exeter scoreless, winning by a score of 7-0.
Teague tallied another W in her win column, as
she went the full seven innings, giving up only five
hits, no runs, and only walking one batter, while
striking out 11.
The Broncos got the scoring started in the first
inning, as Kaycee Carbone led off with a bunt
single. She then stole second, and came around
to score after Liz Derosa singled up the middle.
Derosa advanced to second on the throw home,
and then scored after Sara Siteman slapped a
single up the middle as well. In the fifth inning,
Siteman led off with a double to right center. She

scored on an Ashley Silva triple, making the score
3-0. Silva then came around to increase the
Alvirne lead to 4-0 on a Kera Kelly groundout. In
the sixth inning, Carbone led off with a walk and
advanced to third, after Teague singled up the
middle in her lone hit of the contest. Carbone
came across the plate to score after Derosa
singled, which also moved Teague to third. She
would then come home on a Siteman sac-fly,
increasing the lead to 6-0.
The Broncos would get their last run in the final
frame of the game, as Carbone collected her third
hit of the contest with a single up the middle. She
advanced to second, as Teague picked up a walk,

Easy and Budget-Friendly Ways to Add Curb Appeal


Curb appeal can help a home get noticed in a bustling real
estate market. Curb appeal also can contribute to the aesthetics of a neighborhood for residents who plan to stay put, and
many homeowners feel an attractive exterior is just as important as a comfortable interior.
Homeowners do not have to spend a fortune to improve the
curb appeal of their homes. With these strategies, anyones
home can take on a more appealing look.
Clean up
A messy, untamed front yard can detract from a perfectly
acceptable home. Cleaning up your yard and homes exterior is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to give
the place a makeover. Cut back overgrown shrubs, plants
and trees. Make sure the front door is clearly visible and that
any walkways are edged and accessible. Store garbage pails
behind a barrier and keep trash out of sight. Store childrens
toys in the backyard rather than strewn across the front lawn.

These simple steps


can improve curb
appeal instantly.
Spruce up the lawn
A well-manicured
lawn can go a long
way to making a
home more appealing. If your thumb is
anything but green,
hire a professional
lawn and garden
service to help you
establish a lush,
green lawn.
Dress to impress
The entryway to a home is the first thing visitors will see. Be
sure the front door and entryway are in good repair. A pop of
color cant hurt, either. If you do not like the idea of painting the door a vivid hue, dress it up with a colorful wreath
or another decorative accent. Carry your interior design style
to the outdoors as well. Welcoming accents, such as cushioned chairs or potted plants, also add curb appeal. Consider
painting house numbers on a terra-cotta pot and filling it with
plants. The pot will be decorative and functional.
Rely on symmetry

Symmetry is pleasing to the eye and easy to arrange. Use it to frame your entryway and throughout your property. Symmetrical use of lighting
fixtures, plants, trees, and decorative items really
can have an impact.
Dont forget lighting
Outdoor lighting adds appeal and safety to a
property. Use lighting to accent a special landscaping feature or to illuminate a walkway. Few
people enjoy approaching a dark home, and
outdoor lighting can ensure your property always
is well-lit. Remember, curb appeal is applicable
both day and night.Improving on curb appeal can
make a difference in how others view your home.
