Benson Park celebrated its fifth anniversary on Saturday, May 30
from 1 to 4 p.m. The Friends of Benson Park, Inc. organized the
family-friendly event with games, music, raffles, food and fun.
Most of the participants were set up in the area around the
elephant barn in which the Friends of Benson Park plan to one
day create a museum of Bensons Wild Animal Farm memorabilia.
Various volunteer booths included the Girl Scouts and friends
expertly face painting; Rodgers Memorial Library Childrens Room
staff helping children craft a bookmark and giving away balloon
animals and balloon hat sculptures; Sub Zero Ice Cream and Yogurt
from Nashua busily scooping out free samples they were making on
the spot with instant freeze liquid nitrogen; and Canobie Lake Park
offering chances to win tickets and prizes. The Friends of Benson
Park also sponsored a treasure hunt around the park and had many
great raffle prizes donated for the event. Toys R Us Geoffrey Giraffe
made an appearance, to the delight of many. Bensons Bakery
donated a delicious Benson Park-themed cake for the anniversary
party.

How many can say they performed in an animal cage at Benson


Park? After Saturday, the list is a bit longer, as musical groups
entertained the crowds from inside the cage adjacent to the elephant
barn. Hills Garrison music teacher Sarah Seckla and her fourth
grade chorus and recorder group charmed the crowd with their
music, as did others including the Ottarnic Dulcimer Club and the
group Seat Belts Required.
I love the playground here, my favorite is the spider web, and
I ride my bike, too, said Benjamin Pinnell, 7, while watching his
older sister, Olivia, perform.

Twins Makayla and Mia with siblings Anthony and Annaliese enjoy the day.

of Nashua give out free samples.

We love walking the trails and meeting friends here for a fun
afternoon, shared Benjamins mom, Elizabeth Pinnell.
A stroll down Memory Lane to the Overlook gave guests a
chance to chat with volunteer Cindy Provencher and hear her stories
about the parks history. Cindys uncle, the late Arthur Provencher,
was the third and final owner of the park, and Cindy worked at
Bensons Wild Animal Farm for many years. I sit here and the
voices are back, the sounds are back. Its alive again. Youre getting
both memories now; youre bringing generations together. Im
ecstatic to see the life back into this place. It is very rewarding,
Cindy said.
Ruth Servant of Hudson was with her grandchildren and greatgrandchildren, and has many memories of the former Bensons, but
is also making new memories at the park. The people who have
dedicated themselves to making this place so beautiful, it is just
amazing, she said.
Hudson Selectman Patricia Nichols, a long-time Benson Park
committee member and volunteer, was busy handing out free bags
of popcorn. This is my favorite place in the whole world. My heart
is here. I love to see all of these people enjoying this place, Patricia
said.
Children shrieking with laughter (and yes, even some tired tears),
music filling the air, events being introduced via bullhorn, even
the loud pop of an occasional balloon burst all combined with the
hustle and bustle of people talking and enjoying a sunny, warm
Saturday at Benson Park. The sounds are back.

of Community Service

One of the long-standing community
summer traditions continued last
Saturday at Darrah Pond Memorial
Park. Litchfields Family Fun Day has
been an annual event for over 20
years. The event was made possible by
Litchfield Girls Softball. It is their sole
fundraiser to support their scholarship
fund, which has provided more than
$10,000 in scholarships over the years.
The scholarship applicants are required
to have played two seasons in Litchfield
Girls Softball and meet a grade
requirement.

Hunter Henderson, 6, and Nathan Lean, 7, with their stuffed prizes from the softball toss
games, parents flocked to the raffle
tables to use their dollar raffle tickets
for a chance to win a prize of their
own. There were 25-30 raffled goodies,
including themed baskets, items, and
gift cards. The raffled items were
donated by Litchfield Girls Softball and
many local businesses and restaurants
such as Wilson Farm and McQuesten
Farm, just to name a few.
Weve been here for the second year.
Its nice that the community puts it on,
said Dave Farnham, who was there with
his family.

at the dinosaur dig game.
The day was a celebration of softball,
supporting the youth, families, and
of course as the name implies fun.
Across from the festivities, Litchfield
Girls Softball games held their games
at several of the fields. All divisions for
girls ages 4-12 took place throughout
the day. Many of the players and their
families stopped by Litchfield Family
Fun Day after their games.
Its a beautiful day, the weather is
fantastic, and the kids are happy, said
Marion Simoneau, one of the family
fundraising coordinators for Litchfield
Girls Softball.
The day was complete with face
painting, bounce houses, food, raffled

items, and carnival games such as


softball toss, ping pong toss, dice games,
a cake walk, and a dinosaur dig.
One of the most popular games was
the dinosaur dig. Each child was given
a chance to dig through a bucket of
sand to find plastic eggs. Each egg had
a note inside that would either tell them
to choose from the toy box or the candy
box for a prize. These prizes were
common throughout the day at all the
games, as children won candy, toys, and
even stuffed animals.
While the children enjoyed the

The General Federation of Womens Clubs is a national
organization dedicated to community improvement by enhancing the
lives of others through volunteer service.
The GFWC Hudson Junior Womans Club celebrated its 50th
anniversary Saturday, May 30, in conjunction with Benson Parks
fifth anniversary. Many past and present members of GFWC Hudson
Juniors attended a special celebration in the area of the butterfly
garden beneath the pergola at Benson Park. Both the butterfly garden
and pergola were special projects of the club. The pergola was built
with money the club received for being awarded second prize in
2012 for GFWC Community Improvement Projects throughout the
country for the butterfly garden.
Outgoing President Laura Edmands welcomed those in attendance,
some of whom traveled from out of town and even out of state
to observe the special occasion. She asked trivia questions from
1965 in honor of the 50th anniversary, and then recognized several
members for their work. Pam Anderson was lauded for her work
with the Benson Dog Park, Debbie Dunn for her efforts for the annual
rabies clinic, Linda Kipnes for her legendary work on conservation
projects and Michelle Champion for her tireless dedication. Special
accolades were given to long-time member and past president Phyllis
Appler, who long ago chose the mouse as their mascot, Little in
size, big in accomplishment being the motto. As a resource for
the town, this group has been amazing. When things needed to be
done, the question would be who could do this? Lets ask the Junior
Women, said Appler.

Ready for Library Park Construction?


by Len Lathrop
Hudson Selectmen during their May 26 regular
board meeting approved a substantial project that
will create new turn lanes and updated traffic
control and equipment around Library Park. For
those unfamiliar with its location, Library Park,
which is sometimes referred to as the town
common, is located between Derry Street, Library
Street and Route 111, also known as Ferry Street.
The contract was awarded to electric light
company of Cape Neddick, Maine, the sole
bidder, for a total of $357,290. This construction
will be 80 percent funded by the State of New
Hampshire whose portion is $285,832 and the 20
percent home portion is $71,458. The town funds
will come from collected corridor of funds that
builders have contributed as they have developed
projects around the roadways.
Hudsons town engineer, Elvis Dhima,
will supervise this project and, in a brief oral
explanation to the selectmen, explained roadway
changes that will include a second right-hand
turn lane on Route 3A Derry Road where it
meets Route 111 (Ferry Street) as you head over
the bridge toward Nashua. On the other side
of the park as you head to Route 102 (Library
Street), the right-hand turn lane for Highland
Avenue will be removed and there will only be
one lane in each direction across Library Street.
New signal lighting will be installed at all three
intersections with new handicapped-accessible

ramps, pedestrian poll trip boxes, and new traffic


control boxes with battery backup at Library/Ferry,
Highland/Library and Ferry/Derry. There will
also be new handicapped-accessible ramps with
pedestrian polls at Derry at the northern apex of
Library Park.
The invitation to bid prepared by CLD
Consulting Engineers of Manchester specify that
all work must be completed prior to Sept. 2 of this
year with substantial completion by Aug. 3. All
curb ramps will be ADA compliant.
During their meeting, much discussion was
about the needs of this project, its costs and how
it would improve those intersections. One big
point made by Selectman Luszey was that until
the other side of the bridge is improved in Nashua
this wont help with traffic flow. Chairman
Maddox explained that that bridge intersection
is going to become a roundabout that is already
under construction. While all three motions to
support this project were approved Selectman
Luszey abstained from all three votes. The
selectmen joked during the meeting that this
project has been on the drawing board after first
being proposed by the national regional planning
authority maybe 10 years ago.
Hopefully these improvements will streamline
the traffic on Route 102, which can be backed
up past the high school on many mornings. A
diagram of library path that was presented by
Engineer Dhima is included for your review.

Students DARE to be Drug Free


submitted by Presentation of Mary Academy, Hudson
The fifth grade class at the Presentation of Mary Academy has had the pleasure of working with Officer
Avery and the DARE program. The DARE (drug, abuse, resistance, education) program is comprised of 10
lessons. Some of the topics covered at the fifth grade level are how to express yourself confidently using
verbal and non-verbal communication, stress management, learning the dangers of alcohol and tobacco
use, identifying a help network and learning how to become a good citizen.
Throughout this program, the students have had the opportunity to role-play in scenarios as well as
work together to problem solve. The core theme in all 10 lessons is how to: define a problem, assess
their options on how to handle the problem, respond to the problem after they have thought about their
options and the positive and negative consequences to them, evaluate take a step back and reflect on
if they made a good choice and why they think they did.
Officer Cassandra Avery sais, It is my goal and DARES goal to help teach our youth how to be
confident and make safe and responsible choices that will assist them in leading productive healthy drugfree lives.

The Word Around Town...


Letters to our Editor

Jeanie Barkley Memorial Blood


Drive Saves Lives
On December 22, 2007, Jeanie Barkley, my mother,
was tragically lost. She was a devoted wife, mother,
friend and volunteer. She was always the first to
volunteer when any help was needed. She always
put others needs before her own. Whether it was the
FOM at Alvirne, or the Special Olympics, you could
have found my mother there. The community felt the
horrible wake from her passing.
In 2006, my mother was diagnosed with Aplastic
Anemia, a disease that made her body stop making
blood. In 20 months, my mother received over 100
blood transfusions. Those blood donations kept her
body going until the Be The Match Bone Marrow
Registry found a donor. Without blood donors just
like you, Jeanie would have never made it to receive her
bone marrow transfusion.
When youre healthy, its easy to forget what its like
to be sick. When youre sick, when your body stops
doing something fundamental, its when you count on
complete strangers generosity to save your life.
On Friday, June 12, at the Hudson Community
Center, the Jeanie Barkley Memorial Blood Drive will
be held from 12 to 7 p.m. This will be the eighth year,
having collected over 1,000 units of blood in the past

seven years.
The event will be hosted by the American Red
Cross and the Be The Match Bone Marrow Registry.
Donating blood is available through a walk-in basis, or
you can make an appointment through the Red Cross.
Singing up for the bone marrow registry is free, and
painless. The registration takes under five minutes, and
includes only a questionnaire and a cheek swab.

While undergoing treatments, she received over 100


units of blood to help her through her illness and to
gain strength for all she was going through. To support
others in their fight, please consider donating blood
at the Red Cross Blood Drive in Jeanies memory.
Remember, Giving is Good.

Lara Barkley, Hudson

Community Knotted Fleece


Blanket Event

Giving is Good
My name is Tracy Gendreau, and I welcome you to
join us at the eighth annual Jeanie Barkley Memorial
Blood Drive being held at the Hudson Community
Center on Friday, June 12, from 12 to 7 p.m. Jeanie
was a dedicated mom, wife, daughter, and dedicated
volunteer for the community of Hudson. She could
be found everywhere in town supporting her daughters
as they marched in the band, went to church, attended
Girl Scout events or anywhere they were in attendance.
She had an infectious giggle, and a heartwarming smile.
Every group in which she was involved has become
a part of her ever expanding family. She is terribly
missed, but her indomitable spirit will live on through
everyone she touched.
Jeanie lost her battle with Aplastic Anemia in 2007.

is a drop-in event and it is estimated to take 30 minutes
to complete a blanket or mini. All supplies will be

Being an Elected Official is a Tough Job


by George Lambert
My name is George Lambert, I am a former selectman, State
Rep, and was your State Senate candidate from Litchfield in the
last general election (and intend to
be again in the next cycle). What I
have learned personal experience that
being a candidate or elected official in
any capacity is a tough job, because
no matter how hard you try there is
no pleasing everybody. I have now
served the Town of Litchfield for nearly
a decade and have met most of the
hard-working community volunteers in
our town, but to the naysayers, everyone who makes a contribution
probably has an angle. Last year in the October 31, 2014, issue
of this very paper, I submitted a letter to the editor reminding our
tax-paying citizens of the hard work and cost savings delivered
by Selectman John Brunell in his secondary role as IT Contractor
for the town. When our previous IT company was not up to the
challenge of meeting our community needs, the Board of Selectmen
on October 15, 2012, publicly discussed the engagement of IT
Professional Brunell, as we have done with other important town
services like the cable recording services.
I have heard rumblings that a selectman who manages

Guest

departments should not be working as an employee, but we have


had selectman and other town officials doing business with the
town since I was first elected, often at discounts to the town and the
taxpayers. While I cannot confirm but
I do believe one of our selectman is an
active member of the fire department.
I can tell you for sure that two of them
have been in the past. In a small town,
the mixed roles of vendor and official
might seem cloudy, but as is the nature
of the conflict of interest policy of the
town and the state, full disclosure is
the key to making these partnerships
work. I have never seen John do anything that did not include
Full Disclosure at every turn. Some have commented that it is
unreasonable that John both oversees and works for department
heads at the same time. In reality, since the board eliminated the
department liaison positions and moved all of the management to
the Town Administrator, the role of the selectmen has been to direct
the town administrator and the town administrator works directly
with the department heads. If we did not have this clear chain of
command and responsibility, we would have too many chiefs giving
orders. Our department heads and employees receive great benefit
from one direct point of contact with management, which makes

Nashua Woman
Charged with Witness
Tampering and
Stalking
submitted by Hudson Police Department
On Friday, May 29, members of the Hudson Police Legal
Division and Community Oriented Policing Unit arrested Gale
Doiron, 57, of Nashua, charging her with four counts of Stalking,
Class A misdemeanors, and one count of Witness Tampering,
Class B felony.
On May 27, Hudson Police learned that Doiron had violated
conditions of her bail by having contact with her sons domestic
violence victim on four separate occasions. During one of those
occasions, Doiron attempted to induce the victim to lie in her
sons upcoming Superior Court case.
Doiron was already out on bail for one count of Criminal
Liability for Conduct of Another where it is alleged she assisted
her son in stalking his victim.
Doirons son, Arthur Doiron, 37, is currently being held
at the New Hampshire State Prison. Arthur Doiron is facing
numerous Domestic Violence and Felony Stalking charges in the
Hillsborough County Superior Court.
The investigation resulted in the arrest of Gale Doiron who is
currently being held on $10,000 cash bail at the Hillsborough
County Jail pending her arraignment. A Class B felony is
punishable by up to three and a half to seven years in prison,
exclusive of fines. Each Class A misdemeanor is punishable by
up to one year in a County House of Correction, exclusive of
fines.

John is not in a position to make unilateral decisions on spending,
as that is a board decision, or to intimidate employees, because no
single selectman can act alone, they make group decisions.
As I have said since he started working on IT projects for the
town, we should be thanking John profusely for saving us, the
taxpayers, hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years and it
is well overdue on our part to recognize this work with a nominal
stipend that pales in comparison to the market value of the service.
In the four years that I served on the Board of Selectmen with John
I concluded that he was a man of utmost integrity. While we may
not have always agreed on the issues, I always felt that he had true
commitment to the town. I encourage anyone who has questions to
refer to my previous letter to the editor, or my previous discussions
before both the Board of Selectmen, and the Budget Committee of
the exceptional value that he has provided the town.
To the best of my knowledge neither the board or the selectmen
in question have ever tried to hide anything and to the contrary they
have on ample occasions highlighted not only the potential conflicts
but the extreme benefit to the town how much of a contribution that
he makes. I again would like to invite anyone with questions about
the history of this to contact me directly, or to schedule an open
hearing type discussion to go over the history. I can be contacted at
marchon@gmail.com or via telephone 315-2105.

To better meet the needs of the community, the Hudson Fire
Department has developed a survey to gain insight into residents
knowledge, concerns, and opinions related to the possible
construction of a new fire station on Lowell Road. In appreciation
for residents completing the survey, one respondent will be chosen
in a random drawing for dinner at the fire station with Group 1.
The short survey asks the respondent to rate the departments
delivery of information on why a new station is needed, as well as
if there a need for a new station and concerns that may be related
to the station. Each survey question also provides the respondent
an opportunity to provide open-ended comments, without
restriction. Additionally, if a respondent wishes to be contacted
regarding their responses or have questions, they can include their
contact information in the appropriate section of the survey.
The observations, opinions, and recommendations of residents
are valuable, as the department continually strives to improve all
operations and fire protection services. Please take a moment to
complete the survey to assist the department in identifying the
needs of a new station, areas for improvement, and opportunities
for continued growth. The survey is currently available and will
remain online at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/JMB6T72.

The 39th Army Band will Play


a Free Concert on the Green
submitted by Jim Ehlinger, Post Commander,
John H. Hargreaves Memorial VFW Post 10722
The John H. Hargreaves Memorial VFW Post
10722 in Pelham is proud to welcome the 39th
Army Band to Pelham to perform a free public
concert on the Village Green. The concert will
be on June 29 starting at 6 p.m. The concert will
be a great time for everyone to come out and
enjoy the music of the 39th Army Band. They
have performed all over New Hampshire and in
faraway places such in Greece, the U.S. Virgin
Islands, and Costa Rica.
The 39th Army Band, New Hampshire Army
National Guard, can trace its lineage back 136
years to its inception in Manchester in 1879.
When activated for the Spanish American War,
it was known as the Band Section, 1st Infantry
New Hampshire National Guard. During World
War I, it became known as the Band Section for
1st Army Headquarters Regiment. During World
War II, it was known as the band for 172nd Field
Artillery, New Hampshire. Since 1947, it has
been known by its current designation as 39th

Endangered Turtle
Sighted in Pelham

Army Band New Hampshire Army National


Guard.
The band is comprised of musicians
representing many communities throughout
the state. The members of the 39th Army Band
are dedicated soldiers whose high standard
of performance is respected and anticipated
wherever they perform. Truly, the 39th Army
Band is a shining example of New Hampshires
soldiers at their finest.
For those who are not familiar with Pelhams
Concerts on the Green, the concert will start at
6 p.m. and will be held outside, so for seating,
it is recommended to bring some lawn chairs
or a blanket and set up anywhere on the Village
Green lawn. Concessions of hot dogs and
hamburgers will be sold by the VFW and will
used to benefit veteran programs in Pelham and
across New Hampshire. Unfortunately, due to
the Army Bands limited availability, there will not
be a rain date if there is inclement weather. The
VFW hopes to see everyone on June 29 to hear
some of NHs best musicians.

LMS Students Organize


Fundraiser for McKenzie Lowe
Scholarship Fund

submitted by Emily Gamache,


Student Council Secretary
Two students from Litchfield Middle School,
Hannah Cuvellier and Maddie Davis, both went
to Kiddie Konnection with McKenzie Lowe. They
were profoundly upset when they heard about her
passing in the fall, so they decided to do something
about it.
The two girls made a presentation to the student
council what they could do to help. Litchfield
Middle School held a PJ day in her honor in the
winter. Every student or staff member who wished
to participate had to pay at least $1 to wear pjs
to school. The money collected was donated
in McKenzies name to a local bank that has
established a scholarship in her name. A total of
$265 was raised by wearing pajamas to school.
Many people heard or knew about McKenzie in
the student council and loved the idea of donating
to help fund the scholarship. Hannah and Maddie
made everyone aware of the fundraiser and showed
how much they cared about McKenzie.

Will Litchfield have a


New Town Administrator?
by Len Lathrop

On a hike through the woods in the Gumpus
Pond Conservation Area (150 acres), Chairman of
the Conservation Commission Paul Gagnon made
a rare Blandings turtle sighting.
Blandings turtles are distinguished by
their bright yellow chins and helmet-shaped
shells. They are
endangered in
the New England
region.
This turtle
was seen and
photographed
on the blue trail
in Gumpus, said
Gagnon who
pointed to the
printer-friendly trail
map, which can
be found online
at pelhamweb.
org. The front left
foot of this turtle
was missing toes,
and the shell had a
healed-over crack.
Gagnon speculated
that it must have
been previously hit
by a car or a lawn
mower. He later reported the sighting with the
NH Department of Environmental Sciences.
Loren Valliere, biologist at the NH Fish and
Game, helped explain why these turtles are
endangered in the state of New Hampshire.
Blandings Turtles depend on a long life span,
and do not reach reproductive age until at least
15 years, Valliere said. In other words, they must
survive their first 15 years of life before they can
produce and grow their numbers. They are also
long-ranged, and travel a lot between wetlands
and vernal pools, so roads are a major issue for
them. As more land in Southern NH becomes
developed and these animals suffer habitat
fragmentation, they become more susceptible to
roadway dangers and also population divide.

The Gumpus Pond Conservation Area in Pelham


abuts the Hudson, NH Musquash Conservation
Land (416 acres). Gagnon and the Pelham

Pelham Relay for Life - Needs Your Support


2015 Relay Teams:

submitted by Lisa Martin


On May 1, 2014, my new normal began. Following a
CT scan and blood test, I was advised to go to the emergency
department at Massachusetts General Hospital. My youngest
daughter drove me and stayed with me for 10.5 hours as we
waited to get admitted. I arrived at the hospital with a blood
pressure of 220 over 100, and creatinine level of 18, (should
be less than 1). Apparently, I was in renal failure and didnt
even know it!
Over the next five days we worked to get my creatinine
level within a normal range and followed that with a series
of tests that resulted in a diagnosis of stage 4 colon cancer. I
remember telling the doctor that my plan was to beat the odds
he had given me and fight for my life.
Its been a year of many challenges: improving my health,
keeping my business running, being strong for my daughters,
learning to accept the help of others, and to reconstruct and
strengthen friendships.
Each day I woke up was another gift, even on the really hard
days and believe me, there are really hard days. I have been
blessed with my family, friends and community coming to my
aid helping me with medical costs, living expenses, keeping
my spirits up, walking with me, supporting me and being there
for me like never before.
I learned that as much as this illness has changed my life,
it has also changed the lives of those around me. My goal is
to be as positive and as strong as possible, but sometimes I
have to rely on the strength of those around me. A year ago
a friend introduced me to the Relay For Life of Pelham, and I
felt compelled to assemble a team as a way of giving back in
honor of all of those who have helped me over the last year.
I am grateful to be strong enough to walk with my team, to
continue running my business, to watch my youngest daughter
graduate and to reconnect with friends and strengthen family
ties.

Every day is a gift, live it to the fullest!

In preparation for the event, Phyllis Appler and Laura Edmands met with Ruth Parker at the
Hudson Historical Society, perused Hudson Fortnightly scrapbooks and created a poster board of
old notices, clippings and photos. The Hudson Fortnightly was the original GFWC Club and they
then sponsored the Junior Womans Club. It is amazing the legacy we have and it is our job to
see that continue, said Edmunds.

was donated to the club by
the French family.
After the formal proceedings were completed, the group enjoyed
refreshments and reminisced, with much kidding and laughter.
Someone mentioned the annual school census, which used to be the job
of the Hudson Juniors, which the group was paid $10,000 to complete.
Once that stopped, the Hudson GFWC decided to host a craft fair to
raise money. The first fair had about four or five tables.
Today, the annual GFWC Hudson Junior Womans Craft Fair is their
biggest fundraiser, with between 100-118 tables. Many recalled when
Alvirne High School burned down in 1974 and the GFWC provided
refreshments for all the volunteers busy salvaging what they could. They
also started all the school libraries, host an annual rabies clinic and host
candidates night every year. They also host the annual Bunny Breakfast
at Easter time. There are many more completed projects and events
throughout town due to this dynamic group of women.

Pelham VFW Presents Boulet and


Schloner with Volunteer Award
submitted by Madeline Dreusicke, President, Ladies
Auxiliary, John H Hargreaves Memorial VFW Post 10722
On Sunday, May 31, 16 members of the John H.
Hargreaves Memorial Post 10722 in Pelham came together
to enjoy the White Birch Banquet Halls Breakfast Buffet in
Hudson. They also had a special mission on Sunday. They
were all there in honor of Loyalty Day, which is actually
May 1. It is a day set aside for all Americans to reaffirm
their loyalty to our great country, especially for the heritage
of American freedoms, and it is a day that we honor those
who give of themselves within our communities and help
support all veterans of the United States.
Post Commander Jim Ehlinger and Ladies Auxiliary
President Madeline Dreusicke of the John H. Hargreaves

Memorial Post 10722 were truly honored to present Ray


Boulet, owner and head chef, as well as Barbara Schloner,
chef, a Volunteer of the Year Award from their Post.
Boulet and Schloner are truly remarkable people who
are there when you need help no matter what the reason
especially when it comes to veterans.
They have gone above and beyond to help with all the
hospital programs I promote as hospital chairman for the
Department of NH Ladies Auxiliary VFW which primarily
focuses on supporting all military as well as our VFW
Post in Pelham, Madeline said. They
have continuously shown their love for
this country, especially when it comes
to helping veterans, and for that they are
truly deserving of this award.

The Excitement of Softballs Senior Day didnt Affect the Win

by Len Lathrop
On Friday the Alvirne Softball girls wrapped up the season at
home against Bedford. They celebrated the senior captains Kaycee
Carbone and Haleigh Cote. Nicole Teague took the win, pitching
six innings, giving up three runs earned on four hits and striking out
three. Teagues record this season is 10 wins and four losses. Kelli
Kennedy, who recorded the save, pitched one inning, gave up no
runs and no hits, struck out one, and walked no one.
Alvirne was scoreless going into the bottom of the third when
Haleigh Cote led off with a walk and was advanced to second on a
Kaycee Carbone sacrifice bunt. Cote then advanced to third, Vivian
Susko grounded out and Cote scored on a wild pitch. At the next
at bat in the fourth inning, Ashley Silva hit a single through the right
side, and Liz Derosa followed with a single, also to the right side.
Silva crossed on a Brooke Schrieb line-drive single to right; then both
Derosa and Schrieb scored on a Cote single up the middle. In the
fifth inning, catcher Sara Siteman reached after being hit by a pitch.
After a Silva single to right side, Siteman scored. On a Derosa single
up the middle in the sixth inning, Carbone walked and advanced to
second on a Jenna Bradish groundout. Carbone then stole third and
scored when the throw went into left field.
The Broncos regular season record going into the playoffs is 14
and 4. Alvirnes NHIAA playoff run began just after the HLN went
to press on Wednesday. Its first playoff game was at home at 4 p.m.
when the Broncos, ranked fifth in the tournament, played Exeter,
ranked 12th.
A positive outcome from that game would take the Lady Broncos
into the quarterfinals on Saturday, June 6 at 4 p.m. where they
could play the winner of the Dover/Bedford contest. The semifinals
will take place Wednesday, June 10, at Southern New Hampshire
University at 7 p.m., and the state finals will be the following
Saturday, June 13, at 4:30 p.m., also at SNHU. The HLN wishes the
Bronco Ladies great success and would look forward to showing you
pictures of them holding up the championship trophy.

The team enjoys senior day together.

Coach Sarah Brisk.

The Alvirne High School boys and girls Lacrosse teams played their final
games of the season on Friday, at home, in a rematch against the InterLakes Lakers. Both teams had great wins in their final games, with the girls
score at 8-6, and the boys score at 13-8.
Lacrosse is in its second season as a pay-to-play sport at Alvirne High
School. The girls team, led by Coach John Fichera, had a 3-8 season,
while the boys team, led by head coach Kyle Martin, finished the season
8-5. Not only did the teams see success in their season, they were able to
play their first-ever home games at Alvirne High School.
During the final games of the season, the teams celebrated senior night
with six players on the boys lacrosse team; Zac Brower, Frank Cunniff,
Ryan Godschall, Brett Pitre, Cam Rourke, and Pat Shah. Congratulations
to the lacrosse graduating seniors. These great athletes were a huge part of
the success of the first two seasons of lacrosse at Alvirne High School. As
they all go off in different directions to follow their own personal dreams
and goals for the future, everyone wishes to thank them for being part of
the team and the AHS Lax family. Gentlemen, it is hoped you had as much
fun playing as those who did watching you play. Best wishes for health,
happiness and success!

Grasshoppers Top Mud Hens; Boulanger Tosses a No-No

submitted by Charlie Huggins


In the Majors division of Hudson Youth
Baseball the Mud Hens have been the class of
the league all season. The Grasshoppers went
into the recent tilt with the undefeated Hens
knowing they needed to play a near-perfect
game to have a chance to put a blemish on
that record.
The game was tight and, with one swing
of the bat in the top of the fourth, Carlos
Camargo deposited a 2-2 pitch over the
center field fence for a three-run home run
and gave the Grasshoppers an 8-3 lead. The
Mud Hens proved why they are the top team
in the bottom of the sixth as they plated three
runs and got the game to 8-6. With the tying
run on first, the last out was made when a
runner was picked off at third ending the rally
and the game. The Grasshoppers were led by

CHS Spring Sports Awards Filled with Accolades and Goodbyes


by Zack Miller
Sports awards ceremonies are a time for reflection on the
seasons recently concluded, and in case of baseball, softball and
track, seasons that are still in progress. Each team recognizes
most improved players and also gives out coaches awards, while
celebrating other milestones that are accomplished over the course
of the season.
The Campbell Baseball team learned that five of their players were
selected to All-State teams, the most in Division III. Bob Baril and
Austin Baker were both selected to the Second Team, while Kyle
Shaw, Ryan Glendye and Zach Byers were all selected to the First
Team. Shaw led the team in hitting, batting a whopping .520 on the

year, while Glendye got it done on the mound, pitching his way to a
7-0 record.
While the accolades were a nice testament to each sports season,
the goodbyes will bring change to Campbell that hasnt been felt
in some years. Coach Kevin Hodge and Coach Kelly Fraser, CHS
Track coaches, will both be retiring from coaching following the
conclusion of the track season. Under their leadership multiple state
championships and school records were added to Campbells sports
success.
Campbell will also be looking to replace the athletic director, as
John Patterson has also resigned. Im a football coach, Patterson
said. Ill be returning to my roots. Ive done my best at this job the

Professionals who might help you get a mortgage


The process of buying a home can be intimidating, especially
for those men and women who have never before owned their
own homes. Nowadays, more homeowners are choosing to get
preapproved for mortgages before they begin searching for a home in
an effort to make the home-buying process go more smoothly when
they find the home for them.

One of the first things buyers must do when seeking preapproval


is find the right mortgage lender. There are many different ways to
find a mortgage lender who will fund your home loan. Prospective
homeowners would be wise to familiarize themselves with mortgage
lenders before beginning the preapproval process.
The following are a few terms prospective home buyers should
know before they begin the process of buying a home.
Retail lender: These are lenders who will reach out directly to
prospective home buyers. Retail lenders include banks with loan
officers in local branches, though many banks are also wholesale
lenders.
Wholesale lender: A wholesale lender is one who funds a
mortgage acquired through a mortgage broker. A wholesale lender
will buy the mortgage from the broker after the broker has found
the customer and processed the loan.
Mortgage broker: Mortgage brokers are essentially
matchmakers. A mortgage broker will examine a prospective

buyers finances and then work to find the buyer a lender who can
provide him or her with the best rate and terms. The broker may
charge buyers a fee, but the broker will earn the bulk of his or her
money when the buyer is matched with a lender.
Mortgage banker: A mortgage banker will fund the loan initially.
But mortgage bankers often sell the loan to secondary lenders. Many
men and women might be familiar with Fannie Mae and Freddie
Mac, both of which are secondary lenders. A mortgage banker will
borrow money from the a bank to fund the initial loan, then repay
that bank if and when the loan is sold to a secondary lender.
Loan officer: Loan officers can be very helpful to buyers, helping
them through the loan application process and offering advice
on finding a mortgage that best meets a customers needs. A loan
officer may be referred to as a mortgage consultant or a home loan
consultant, and many will earn a commission on the loan once it is
finalized.
