their private well water test results. So far approximately 1,800
people have used this application. Three hundred fifty to 400
people average using it a month. People tend to use it more in the
spring and summer months and less
in the winter. Unfortunately it is not

Robinson Pond used for Log Storage 1938
submitted by
Ruth Parker
The 1938
hurricane struck
without warning
on Sept. 21,
1938. The storm
roared up the
coast from Cape
Hatteras with
winds of 75 miles
per hour and
gusts in excess
of 175. As the
storm progressed
communications
were disrupted so
that communities
in its track were
not alerted to
its arrival. At
4:30 p.m. there
were reports of
a slight wind;
by 5 p.m. the
winds and gusts
had increased
so vigorously
that workers
on their way
home from work
feared for their
safety. Soon trees
were crashing
down across
the roadways.
Besides the
major tree damage, chimneys were toppled, shingles blown
from houses, buildings were crushed and windows were broken.
Whatever was in the path of the wind was blown around with a
fury. By daylight the next morning the damage was inspected.
Carpenters, bricklayers, masons and road workers were in
demand to repair the damage. Hudson residents were left without
telephones and electricity for days.
Huge trees were uprooted, some were snapped off like match
sticks. Much of the fine old standing pine timber in Hudson was
blown down. A Town Timber Committee was formed by local
folks in an effort to salvage the uprooted trees. Named to this
committee were Robert Hardy, Albert Kashulines and Charles
Parker. The committee met with representatives of the state and
federal governments to work out a plan for storing the logs in
water to prevent insect damage to the wood. Robinson Pond was
inspected and approved for this purpose. Owners of the land,
John Robinson and Charles Parker, were paid $1 for its use.
Salvaged logs were trucked to this site on Robinson Road from
Pelham, Litchfield, parts of Nashua, and Hudson. Records were
kept listing the owners of the logs, the grade of the logs, and a
count. Logs were measured and stamped. In the winter the logs
were put on scoots and drawn out onto the ice by tractors and

rolled off onto the ice; to remain until the ice melted. The logs
remained in the water for two summers. It was estimated that 5
million board feet of lumber were stored here in Robinson Pond.
In the winter of 1939, Bean and Simmonds of Jaffrey, owners
and operators of a box shop, purchased the logs. Removal of the
logs began in 1940. Two portable steam mills were set up on the
point at Robinson Pond. This point is now part of the Town
Recreation Area and often referred to as Sawdust Island. The logs
were sawed 3-inches thick and trucked to a nearby field, stacked
for drying and later trucked to Jaffrey. Bean and Simmonds resawed them and used them to make ammunition boxes for use
in World War II. Not all logs were removed from the pond.
Occasionally, even to this day, logs drift to shore or pop-up at the
pond.
This photo, from the Historical Society Collection, shows logs
stacked on the shore of what is now the swimming area for the
Town Recreation Area. The pond is frozen and logs are waiting to
be scooted onto the ice. Across the pond is the open field of what
is now 72 Robinson Rd.
If you would like to hear more about the Great Hurricane of
1938 join the Historical Society on Sept. 22 at 7 p.m., at the
Hills House on Derry Road. Our guest speaker will be Shira
Gladstone, site manager for Historic New England.

The Word Around Town...

Letters to our Editor
Thank You to Hudson Highway Department

The members of the Hudson Highway Department complete many projects
around the Town of Hudson to make for safe travels, beautify the town and keep
our many and systems operating. They do this work daily with little fanfare or
recognition.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank them for the landscaping they
completed at the Hudson 9/11 Memorial. With the inability to supply a sprinkler
system to water the Memorials grass and the hot dry summer, weather took a
devastating toll on the lawn.
The highway department crews installed new sod within the Pentagon
Memorial area also installing a sprinkler system using an improvised mobile
watering system consisting of portable tanks and a small pump. The main lawn
was reseeded with crewmembers daily setting up and moving portable sprinklers
to bring the lawn back to life.
Their work, completed within one week of the annual memorial service, is a
credit to their dedication to the town and reflects in the honor and remembrance
that we Hudson residents express each year in memory of those lost on Sept. 11,
2001.
Again, a big thank you goes out to Kevin and his crew; your work is much
appreciated.
David S. Morin, Chairman, Hudson 9/11 Memorial Committee, Hudson
Voters Support Appreciated

I wish to sincerely thank the residents of Hudson and Pelham who trusted
me with their vote in the republican Primary to be a candidate for State
representative. I am humbled by your having chosen me to compete in the
November general election. I will do my best to live up to your trust. Thank you.
Andy Renzullo, Hudson

Excited for New Library Trustee

I have just witnessed an event at town of Hudson selectmens meeting. I want
to thank the three selectpersons for your courageous votes for Ms. roy. No one
other than myself ever grilled Mr. Jasper into failure for town government office,
Selectman coutu and Luszey voting against the motion. Was expected! The joy
for the voters coming to my support and the Hudson News, i.e., the chairperson
Jasper standing on my property, reversing the decision of Zoning Administrator
to leave car cover in place and offering more legal threats was brutal. The voters
ousted him from office. The life-long goal of this career politician is to capture
all civic organizations of Hudson to dictate his demands. At state government his
capturing House gavel was done not without questions. I would consider twice
for his return to concord! Thank you, the voters of the Town of Hudson.
Dangerous Donald Trump

Dangerous Donald Trump might be a threat to our viability. He could try
to assume dictatorial powers and abolish the constitution, congress and the
Supreme court. Some of his supporters are far right extremists. His candidacy
is reminiscent of the Fascists in Germany, Italy, and Japan during the 1930s and
1940s.
Trump has unwittingly proposed to pull our troops out of South Korea and
Japan if they do not pay for our aid. This will open up the Far East to chinese
and North Korean expansion. He might try to abandon NATO, thereby enabling
russian expansion in Europe. Trump doesnt have a problem with countries
acquiring nuclear weapons. He even encouraged russia to spy on clinton.
His blunders could lead to miscalculations by totalitarian regimes and increase
the possibility of war. Amazingly, he says he knows more about ISIS than our
generals.
Trump appears to be unstable, shallow and disorganized, and he does not
have the requisite knowledge or understanding of U.S. and world affairs, nor the
intellectual capacity, to be President and commander-In-chief.

Our Dairy Farmers are in Trouble

19 of 120 dairy farms have closed so far this year
by Representative Bob Haefner

All of our New Hampshire dairy farmers are
in trouble. Every time they milk a cow, they are
losing money. It is not just a New Hampshire
problem; it is a nationwide demise of the dairy
industry.
For every hundredweight of milk (11.6 gallons),
the farmer is currently losing $10. Right now, it is
estimated that the average farm in New Hampshire
is losing $5 per cow per day. Not only is the price
the farmer receives for his/her milk
way down, but the price of feed,
Guest
corn, fuel, electricity and fertilizer
are up significantly. The average
NH Farm has 120 cows milking
at any one time, which means the
typical dairy farmer is losing $177,000 per year. Can any of us maintain
that kind of sustained loss? We have heard speculation that we will lose
up to 50 percent of our dairy farmers this year, unless we do something
quickly.
How did we get here? The farmer does not set the price that they
receive for their milk. The price is set by the federal government through
a very complicated milk market order system that is broken. In addition,
demand for our milk is down because exports of cheese and powdered
milk are down.
There is another wrinkle in this saga. The last Farm Bill eliminated
the Milk Income Loss Contract safety net for dairy farmers, and replaced
it with a Margin Protection Plan - an insurance program which farmers
were urged to buy into. Well, they paid their premiums but the payouts
were much underfunded. Of the $70 million plus of premiums paid in
by U.S. farmers, only $700,000 was paid out in claims - even though the
prices are so low and the expenses are so high. Many farmers, seeing the
uselessness of the insurance, canceled this year.

But what makes this year so devastating for the farmers is the drought.
The hay and corn the farmers grow to feed their cows is in critically short
supply due to the lack of rainfall. As a result, the farmers will have to
buy their feed in order to keep their cows over the winter - which means
additional thousands of dollars, which they dont have.
Losing our local dairy farms would have dire consequences. First, it is
our source of fresh, wholesome, good-tasting local milk. We dont want
milk dehydrated, trucked thousands of miles, reconstituted and sold as
fresh milk. Second, when dairy farmers stop growing corn and hay to
feed the livestock, they usually start growing houses. So if farms shut
their doors, we can say goodbye to our open spaces that provide much of
our rural character and vistas that tourists love.
So what is the solution? An immediate bailout from the State and/or
Feds for our dairy farmers of $4 million, which is the amount estimated
to be sufficient to prevent our farms from shutting their doors. Next we
need to fix the formulas in the MPP and fully fund the appropriation
side. Finally we need the USDA to review the Federal Milk Marketing
Order System recommendation of several years ago and implement the
suggested changes that were recommended.
What can you do? Buy only locally-produced milk and cheese. Call
the governor and ask her to help our NH dairy farmers to keep them from
going under. Then call the Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack and ask
him to send money now to help our farmers. Also, you can call your
Senators and Congressmen and ask them to put pressure on the USDA.
Here are some numbers to call:
Senator Ayotte: (202) 224-3324
Senator Shaheen: (202) 224-2841
Congressman Kuster: (202) 225-2946
Congressman Guinta: (202) 225-5456
Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack: (202) 720-5456
President Obama: (202) 456-1111
Governor Hassan: (603) 271-2121
Thank you for helping our dairy farmers.

Hunting
I figured I would do a piece on hunting since
the Bambi killing season is right around the corner.
Just kidding, I dont have a problem with hunting.
I understand that it can be important for the
environment. Killing and eating your own dinner is
healthier and cheaper than going to the grocery store
and buying meat. Im not going to digress into the
controversy of the second amendment. Im going to
save that topic for a later date.
I lived up north for a few years and I was shocked
to find
that
hunting
was a
family
affair.
They
All About
have
youth
hunting
season
when
children would go out into the woods with Ma and
Pop all excited to kill their first animal. Im pretty
sure the local newspaper would take a picture of the
kids with their kill and state the weight of the carcass,
the kids age and everything. Currently, Im picturing
my little brother with a gun and Im going to say no.
I dont think he should be killing Bambi. He also
didnt grow up in that environment and neither did
I. Maybe if I did I would have a different position.
My dad always wanted to go hunting because theres
nothing like hunting and gathering. Back in the good
old days the men killed the meat and the women
gathered the berries. Sounds super fun.
Hunting is ok in my book. Deer can sometimes
overpopulate, run out of food in areas where they
dont have too many natural predators and start
getting sick. I think that as long as you eat the
animal you kill and you do everything legally its all
good. Would I personally hunt? No, because I have
bad aim and I dont really feel like dragging and
loading the dead carcass into the back of a truck then
skinning it, gutting it, and doing whatever else you
need to do in order to eat it. Camouflage and bright
orange arent really my colors.
Id rather just get my pre-packaged meat filled with
antibiotics and GMOs. Yum. Plus its a lot of waiting
quietly. I hate waiting and I hate being quiet. Plus
Im a girl and I dont enjoy using Mother Nature as
my own personal bathroom. I much perform indoor
plumbing. I put indoor plumbing up there with
grocery stores and internet as one of humans greatest
inventions. So no part of hunting sounds too much
fun to me. I could see how other people would enjoy
it. Being quiet and alone in the great outdoors killing
supper just like in the old days, before grocery stores
and 5-star dining. Its also a good skill to have in case
theres an apocalyptic event. Ive said this before and
Ill say it again, my generation, including me, will not
last long in an apocalyptic event.
Hunting is just time consuming and Id rather be
doing other things (lets be real, all I do is work so
even if I wanted to I wouldnt have time to go kill my
dinner). Humans have evolved so our days no longer
consist of trying to kill or gather our food. You can
get all your consumption needs (except hard liquor)
at the grocery store nearest you. Before we spent our
days hunting and now we spend it sitting behind the
desk eating food that takes seconds to make. Thats
probably the reason a lot of us our fat. Most of us
dont have to physically work for our food.
What bothers me is when people ask me would I
ever hunt they automatically think that Im against
hunting. Then they jump down my throat explaining
to me why hunting is great. Please get out of my
throat. Why are people so confrontational (Im the
most controversial person I have ever met and also a
hypocrite)? Im not a vegetarian. I eat meat. I know
my meat comes from animals that have lived their
lives in misery only to be slaughtered after they are
pumped with steroids, instead of prancing through
the woods to be shot unexpectedly. What can I say?
Believe it or not Im an imperfect being. Love me
or hate me, e-mail your questions, comments and
concerns at nicole@areanewsgroup.com.

Primary Elections are over, turnout was very low.
There were 780 ballots cast for the Democratic
ticket while Republicans posted 1,801. And as of
press time the Governors race on the Republican
side had not been declared. But the question
that arises every time we think about state
representation, why are the towns of Hudson and
Pelham linked together with their representation?
Both towns are large enough to have their own
representatives (formula one representative
for every 3,750 people). The district has to
say goodbye to Bob Haefner, a hard-working
representative, especially for the farmers of the state as Chairman of Environment and Agriculture. He

Hudson is fortunate to have two Boy Scout Troops and two associated Cub Scout Packs. Monday night
both Cub Scout Pack 20 and Cub Scout Pack 21 were extending their fun summer events into the school
year.
Cub Scout Pack 21 was at Benson Park with Scout made bottle rockets. Who knew that empty soda
bottles could turn into so much fun? The Cub and Boy Scouts made cardboard fins for their bottle rockets
and carefully attached them with duct tape. Two bottles attached together with tape fly higher and farther
than one bottle.
Put a rock on the nose of the rocket, directed Scout Leader Ben Dibble while Cubmaster Chris
Cooper watched carefully. The bottle rockets were filled with water and then air was blown into them.

New Procedure for Hudson Voters

by Lynne Ober
Selectmen decided to change procedures for voting, but they
may have gone too far. For some strange reason, they blocked
off the parking across the street from Hudson Community
Center.
The street was well marked as One Way, but if you came
in from the other side of the Hudson Community Center, you
might have been surprised to find the road blocked. Hudson
Police were on hand to quickly and efficiently direct drivers.
Once in the parking lot, it was again clearly marked that all
vehicles would exit by driving behind the building and exiting
through the other parking lot.
Once parked, voters entered through the front door. Ballot
Clerks were sitting in their same location, but cookies and
coffee had moved to the rear of the building. At noon on
primary voting day few people were voting. There were no
lines and no one was working with the Supervisor of the
Checklist or standing at the table for those who arrived without
an ID.
Once a voter had voted, the ballot boxes were found at the
rear and both of the side rear doors were open so voters could
exit on the side closest to their parked vehicles. Some people
stopped to purchase a cookie or cup of coffee. Money from such
purchases goes back into support of the Hudson community so one
hopes that Selectmen will decide not to eliminate this service.
Some voters expressed dismay that so few people were exercising
their right to vote. Everyone comes for the national elections in
submitted by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation

Today officials of National Merit Scholarship Corporation
announced the names of approximately 16,000 semifinalists in
the 62nd annual National Merit Scholarship Program. These
academically talented high school seniors have an opportunity
to continue in the competition for some 7,500 National Merit
Scholarships worth about $33 million that will be offered next
spring. To be considered for a Merit Scholarship award,
semifinalists must fulfill several requirements to advance to
the finalist level of the competition. About 90 percent of the
semifinalists are expected to attain finalist standing, and about half
of the finalists will win a National Merit Scholarship, earning the
Merit Scholar title. Alvirnes Michael E. Earl and Jacob R. Wesson
were among those named as semifinalists.
NMSC, a not-for-profit organization that
operates without government assistance, was
established in 1955 specifically to conduct the
annual National Merit Scholarship Program.
Scholarships are underwritten by NMSC with its
own funds and by approximately 420 business
organizations and higher education institutions
that share NMSCs goals of honoring the nations
scholastic champions and encouraging the pursuit
of academic excellence.
Steps in the 2017 Competition
About 1.6 million juniors in more than
22,000 high schools entered the 2017 National
Merit Scholarship Program by taking the 2015
Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship
Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT), which served
as an initial screen of program entrants. The

Outside a few people forgot the new driving pattern and tried
to back out onto the road, but most remembered or checked the
posted signs that directed them to the exits.

Attached to their sawhorse launch pad, they waited until one of the Cubs would pull the rope to begin
rocket ignition. As soon as the rocket was launched, it swooped high into the air causing everyone
walking in the park to stop and watch in wonder.
Unlike rockets launched by NASA, these could be retrieved by the maker and loaded again with fuel
(water and air) and soon flown again.
Over at Robinson Pond, Cub Scout Pack 20 had a roaring bonfire with the Cubs happily sitting
on blankets a safe distance from the fire. Parents sat in chairs behind them or stood to watch the
proceedings. Cubmaster Gary Gasdia led the boys in a skit that taught them how to be beavers before the
Boy Scouts from the Boy Scout Troop took over the entertainment.
Both Cub Scout Packs were enjoying the warm early fall evening in the outdoors.
nationwide pool of semifinalists, representing less than one percent

of U.S. high school seniors, includes the highest scoring entrants in
each state. The number of semifinalists in a state is proportional to
the states percentage of the national total of graduating seniors.
To become a finalist, the semifinalist and his or her high school
must submit a detailed scholarship application in which they
provide information about the semifinalists academic record,
participation in school and community activities, demonstrated
leadership abilities, employment, and honors and awards
received. A semifinalist must have an outstanding academic record
throughout high school, be endorsed and recommended by a high
school official, write an essay, and earn SAT scores that confirm
the students earlier performance on the qualifying test.
From the approximately 16,000 semifinalists, about 15,000 are
expected to advance to the finalist level, and in February they will
be notified of this designation. All National Merit Scholarship
winners will be selected from this group of finalists. Merit Scholar
designees are selected on the basis of their skills, accomplishments
and potential for success in rigorous college studies, without regard
to gender, race, ethnic origin or religious preference. Three types of
National Merit Scholarships will be offered in the spring of 2017.
Every finalist will compete for one of 2,500 National Merit
$2500 Scholarships that will be awarded on a state-representational
basis. About 1,000 corporate-sponsored Merit Scholarship awards
will be provided by approximately 230 corporations and business
organizations for finalists who meet their specified criteria, such
as children of the grantors employees or residents of communities
where sponsor plants or offices are located. In addition, about
190 colleges and universities are expected to finance some 4,000
college-sponsored Merit Scholarship awards for finalists who will
attend the sponsor institution.

Hello all. It
is time for an
update on the
happenings at
Cookies Chuck
Wagon.
As you recall,
we welcomed
two young men
from the other
side of the world
to stay with us
while they attend
high school
here in the United States. I am pleased to say that they are two
wonderful young men. They are intelligent, polite, helpful and a
pleasure to have around. Thats the good news.
Now the not-so-good news; recent testing has disclosed that
it would be in my best interest to reduce my pace and load so I
will not be restarting the dinners at the Chuck Wagon as planned.
To all the great people who frequented Cookies on Friday and
Saturday evenings for dinner, I say thank you for joining us and I
regret I will not be seeing you those evenings.
On the brighter side, Li Ying and I are not going anywhere.
Li Ying will take the lead and we will continue to provide you with
the same breakfast offerings we have always had and continue to
make everything with the best and freshest ingredients possible.
We will also continue to offer a limited lunch selection from 11
a.m. Monday through Friday while we adjust our hours to those
that served us so well for so many years. We will be there for you
363 days per year; open Monday through Friday and Sunday from
7 a.m. to 1 p.m., and Saturday from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. Additionally,
we will still be available for your small gathering functions during
our off hours. So if you are planning a family gathering for the
holidays or a birthday party or any other function for a group too
big for the house and need a place to hold it, the Chuck Wagon is
still available. Nothing has changed; we can do your food or you
can bring in your own. And BYOB is still available.
Finally, I want to
thank each and
every one of you
for being part of
the Chuck Wagon
family and we
look forward
to seeing you
as always.

Free Screening of Being Mortal on Tuesday, Sept. 20
We Have Our Own

Pumpkins and Mums
at
stories from the people and families he encounters. When Dr.

Gawandes own father gets cancer, his search for answers about how
best to care for the dying becomes a personal quest. The film sheds
light on how a medical system focused on a cure often leaves out the
sensitive conversations that need to happen so a patients true wishes
can be known and honored at the end.
Being Mortal underscores the importance of people planning
ahead and talking with family members about end-of-life decisions.
Seventy percent of Americans say they would prefer to die at
home, but nearly 70 percent die in hospitals and institutions. Ninety
percent of Americans know they should have conversations about
end-of-life care, yet only 30 percent have done so.
In February 2015, Being Mortal aired nationally on the PBS
program Frontline. For more information about the film, visit
www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/being-mortal. The film is adapted
from Dr. Gawandes 2014 nationally bestselling book of the same
name. More information about the book is at http://atulgawande.
com/book/being-mortal.
The free screening is made possible by a grant from The John
and Wauna Harman Foundation in partnership with the Hospice
Foundation of America.
For more information about the free screening, contact Kristen
Fox, APRN at 882-3000.

documentary Being Mortal will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 20 at
6:30 p.m. at Rivier University, Dion Center. After the screening,
audience members can participate in a guided conversation on how
to take concrete steps to identify and communicate wishes about

Medical Director for Home Health & Hospice Care; Lynne Randall,

facing terminal illness. The film investigates the practice of caring
for the dying and explores the relationships between patients and
their doctors. It follows a surgeon, Dr. Atul Gawande, as he shares

9U Football Bears Fend Off Tough Challenge
from Manchester East to Remain Unbeaten
Courtesy photos
Shawn Boudreau (#8) runs for a big gain on the QB bootleg
submitted by Todd Crawford
The Hudson-Litchfield Bears 9U football team had its first true
test of the young season, but pulled away from the Manchester East
Cobras late to secure a 33-20 victory to run their record to 3-0.
Scott and Nick Hershberger (#5 and #10), Shayne Mackey (#11), and Julian Goode (#9) force a hurried incomplete pass
The game started with a bang as Charlie Chaz Crawford took the
opening kickoff 69 yards for a touchdown. After a Shawn Boogie
Boudreau interception stopped the first Cobra drive, Camren Flash
Dillon broke two tackles in the backfield and was then off to the
races for a 48-yard TD, his eighth of the season, to make
the score 13-0. Key blocks were made by Ryan Rhyno
Rocheleau, Zach Big Z Carter, Patrick Patty Deely,
Cameron Murray and Cameron Bourbeau. Sean Cryan
also had a nice run in that drive.
The Cobras followed with an impressive drive to make
the score 13-7 at the end of the first quarter. The second
quarter was a stalemate, with both defenses playing tough,
and the Bears were unable to turn a late drive into points
just before the half. The defensive line in the first half was
led by Nick Big Red Hershberger, Andrew Dice Deely,
Shayne Mack Mackey, Julian JuJu Goode, Gavin
Huntoon, Logan Liger MacEachern, and Zach Poulin.
The Cobras took the opening kickoff of the third quarter
down the field, but the drive was stymied by another
Boudreau interception. However, a botched Bear snap
handed the ball right back to the Cobras inside the Bear
20, and this time they were able to convert for the goahead touchdown to take a 14-13 lead. The Bears quickly
responded with another patented Dillon sweep to the
right-side behind the blocking of Crawford for a 45-yard
TD at the end of the third quarter to re-take the lead at
20-14.
The fourth quarter started with a great defensive
stand by the Bears, led by Scott Hershberger, Mikey McGowan,

Dante Trombley, Loghan Marchand, Jake Wettergreen, and Brady
Nickerson. The change in momentum was capped off by Dillons
third TD around the right side for 41 yards to make the score 2714. Key blocks were made by Jonathan Cruz-McGuire, Carsen
Mills, Jason Clement, Aidan Mulligan, Lucas Lavarnway, Damian
Derkrikorian, and Andreas Mannetta. A recovered onside kick gave
the ball right back to the Bears. Shortly after that, the skies opened
up with driving rains and very strong winds making play difficult.
However, the Bears were still able to punch in an insurance TD as
Crawford splashed his way around the left side for 38 yards and his
second score of the game, helped along by two devastating blocks
by Dillon. The Cobras scored a meaningless touchdown on the last
play of the game to make the final score 33-20.
Head Coach and noted AC/DC groupie Keith Deely said All
week during practice we told our kids that Manchester East would
be a tough opponent and that we had better be prepared for a good
battle. Just as we thought it was a close battle early and we actually
fell behind for a bit in the third quarter. But our kids hung in there
and made some big plays at crucial times and we were able to
defend our home field and get a big win. I really loved our effort,
but we have to quickly re-focus for our next game on Sunday.
There is even more good news as Devin Scott (broken arm), a
talented veteran lineman and center, was working towards a possible
return this weekend. The team is back at it on Sunday at 8 a.m. with
another home game against the 2-1 Goffstown Screaming Eagles
behind Hudson Memorial School.

Alvirnes Olivia Bertrand wins a header

from the Exeter player.
5 George Street, Hudson, NH
submitted by Ryan Hanlon

The Alvirne Varsity Girls Soccer team lost a tough fought battle to
Exeter on Thursday afternoon at Freedom Field in Hudson by a score of
4-1. The lone Broncos goal came in the 32nd minute from a header by
Emily Lizotte then hit the post and was put away by Kristin DeCost. The
JV team lost 3-0.
On Tuesday, the Varsity Girls travelled to Keene High School to play
the Blackbirds. The Broncos went up early with two goals in the first
20 minutes by Kristin DeCost (assisted by Emily
Lizotte) and Emily Lizotte (assisted by Brianna
Jones). However, Keene netted three quick
goals before halftime. Alvirne controlled most
of the play in the second half scoring in the
55th minute off of a Kristin
DeCost free kick. The
Broncos also scored on
a through ball to Emily
Lizotte from Kathryn
Wiggins in the 72nd
minute. Unfortunately,
Keene scored with three
minutes remaining to force
overtime. Emily Lizotte
forced Keenes goalkeeper
to make a spectacular
save only about a minute
into overtime, but Keene
scored on the next play to
take the game. The JV also
dropped a tough battle
with a final score of 4-2.
The Broncos play next
week on Tuesday, Sept.
20, at St. Anthonys field
in Manchester against
Manchester Memorial
High School.

Campbell Cross Country

submitted by Coach Jan Platt
The Campbell XC team hosted its only home
meet for the season on the Alvirne High School
course in Hudson. We had five teams that came
to the meet and all enjoyed the great weather
and great course. The Campbell girls team
came in first place with Senior Sammy Molinari
winning the race. The scoring team was filled
out in order by Caitlyn Callinan, Gabriele
Hogan, Gigi Gallagher, Kaylee LEtoile, Michelle
Freeman and Danielle Ledoux. The boys team
also came in first place with sophomore Jeffrey
Allen also winning the race. The next six boys
for CHS were Payton Musco, Alec Bonvouloir,
Brendan Jeffrey, Luke Hogan, Nathan Bazzocchi,
and Seth Bonvouloir. The next meet that
Campbell will race at will be the Manchester
Invite on Saturday, Sept. 24.
The Campbell XC team traveled to Hollis on
Sept. 10 to compete in the Coach Korcoulis
Invitational. For the girls varsity race they came

in third place overall. The scoring was led by
Liberty Pelletier (66th), Michelle Freeman (48th),
Gillian Gallagher (38th), Kaylee LEtoile (29th),
Gabriele Hogan (21st), Caitlyn Callinan (18th),
and Samantha Molinari led the girls with 10th
place. Samantha also received a medal and t-shirt
for placing 10th.
The boys team came in fifth place overall.
Jeffrey Allen led the way coming in third overall,
followed by Luke Hogan (25th), Payton Musco
(37th), Brendan Jeffrey (43rd), Seth Bonvouloir
(51st), Jonah Crema (55th), and Jakob Scopelites
(56th). Third place earned Jeffrey a t-shirt as well
as a trophy.
In the JV race Nathan Bazzocchi - fourth and
Tyler OMara - third received medals for finishing
Top-5.
The team next meet will be Sept. 12.

Thumbs up to the big farm stand on Lowell
Road in Hudson right before the industrial park. I
found myself in the awkward position of needing
a last minute gift. I was on my way to try to find
something at a national chain when I saw this
place and decided to stop in. As I walked towards
the barn I was thinking that unless I was going to
buy a pumpkin or live plants, I was going to be
out of luck. Except this happened: I walked into
the giant barn and was surrounded by a really
nice selection of unique objects and items. As I
walked from one end of the barn to the other, I
found not one, but three perfect little somethings.
I plan to go back and do some more exploring,
indoors as well as out. A lovely atmosphere and

Thumbs up, way up, to two of the best coworkers anyone could ask for, Mrs. Linehan

freshmen!

Theres no such thing as bad publicity. (Quote associated

Phineas T. Barnum, more commonly known as P.T. Barnum.)
It has been three editions since Thumbs Down have been
eliminated as a roughly 60-day trial which will last until the
first paper in November.
The comments have been about 50 percent for and 50
percent against, and the paper has tried to share them with
you as neither a Letter to the Editor or other methods. Over

speaks about, are Jayson Brennen and Pete Ames who are

Ron Lotti, Hudson resident and president of the

Northeastern Empire
including singing the National Anthem the most
times in one day and singing the National Anthem
the most times in one year.
Next, U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte, a Nashua
native, addressed the crowd. She said, in part,
Today, we honor and pray for the victims of 9/11.
We thank our first responders and our men and
women in uniform ... Nothing will defeat the
United States of America. The men and women
in uniform who serve our country are the very
best. May God bless all of them and the greatest
country on earth, Ayotte said.
Ayotte arrived directly from participating in
the Brady Sullivan Plaza 9/11 Memorial Stair
Climb, held each year in Manchester. The climb
is designed to equal 110 stories, the height of
the World Trade Center Twin Towers. All money
The Northeastern Empire team at the conclusion of the National Anthem

by Laurie Jasper
The Northeastern Empire, a member of
the New England Football League, is a semiprofessional football team based in Nashua. As
a501(c) non-profit, non-paid organization, the
team is founded on the beliefs of giving back to
the community and working together to make a
positive difference. On Sunday, Sept. 11, the 15th
anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks against our
nation, Northeastern Empire honored the victims
and our military before their last home game of
the season against the Granite State Destroyers at

Nashua High School South.
The pre-game ceremony was led by Ron Lotti,
president of the Northeastern Empire organization
and Hudson resident. After brief remarks by
Lotti, the Nashua Police Department Honor
Guard presented the Colors, followed by the
observation of a moment of silence. Lotti then
introduced Nashua resident Alan St. Louis who
sang our National Anthem. St. Louis holds several
world records for singing the National Anthem,
raised benefits the National Fallen Firefighters

Foundation.
Following her remarks, Ayotte made the
ceremonial coin toss to start the football game.
Empire head coach Frank Tobine of Boscawen
has coached football at many levels, from youth
to semi-pro. My favorite part of coaching is
watching the team members come together as one
family, said Tobine. Sunday, two teams from one
state and one country unified on the field as one
family to remember the tragic events of 9/11. The
Granite State Destroyers beat the Northeastern
Empire 31-0.

Empire, visit their website at www.empirefootball.

After First Week of Play Bronco Volleyball 1-2
by Len Lathrop
The season started with a bus ride to Concord
which went to Concord 1-3; however, when the
Dover green wave came to the Steckevicz Gym on
Friday, the ladies took the match in three straight
games, 25-17, 2-24 and 25-22. Individual totals:
Kezia DeLaCruiz - 18 kills, four digs, one ace;
Amanda Wetmore - 12 kills, six aces; Liz Derosa
- five kills, eight digs; Rachel Perron - 34 assists.
Alvirne had a .395 percent hitting average in the
match against Dover.
As it is the first report on Alvirne volleyball this
season, lets review some of the terms for the nonvolleyball knowledgeable readers. While most
everyone saw some volleyball coverage and heard
the terms during the Olympics, here are some of
the more used terms:
Kill - An attack that results directly in a point or
sideout.
Dig - Passing a spiked or rapidly hit ball. Slang
for the art of retrieving an attacked ball close to
the floor.
Ace - A serve that results directly in a point,
usually when the ball hits the floor untouched on
the receiving teams side of the court.
Getting a dig is Libero Kiersten Green

Tough
Road Trip
for Bronco
Boys Soccer
by Len Lathrop
The Huskies of Monadnock
Regional High School came to
Litchfield on Saturday afternoon
for the Cougar home opener. The
Campbell squad was coming off
a win, 29-0, in Raymond. This is
the Huskies first season in NHIAA
Division 3 playing schools
with less students this year as
their enrollment had declined.
Monadnock had a front line that
had physical size that controlled
the middle on both offense and
defense. While the Cougars had
some good moments, when you
can run up the middle, the other
dimensions of your game suffer;
on Saturday the visitors controlled
the game.
Generally when a team
changes division, especially when
dropping a level, they have a
bid team not only in size but the
number of players they have on
the bench, which allows much
more rotation of the player on the
field.
by Len Lathrop
Coach Conti provided the game
stats from the road trip on Thursday;
neither team scored until the second
half with Alvirnes lone goal coming
at the 71-minute mark from Garrett
Lambert, assisted by Jack Regan.
Exeter scored at 46, 57.69 and
78-minute marks in the game.
Alvirnes Zac Reddig had seven
saves in goal while the Exeter
stopper made six.
The coachs remarks:
Unusual mistakes by Alvirne in the
second half resulted in three goals
by Exeter. Otherwise Alvirne carried
the play for the majority of the game.
Across the midfield played
very well the whole game - Nate
Gosselin, Jack Regan, Jamie
Bertrand, Jake Natola and Nick
Cardenas. They pressured the Exeter
defense repeatedly but the Exeter
goalie came up big almost every
time.
Alvirnes next game was away,
against Keene, on Tuesday, Sept. 13.
Next week on Thursday against
Londonderry, and on the bus to
Manchester on Tuesday the 20th to
take on Memorial.
CHS Football Home Opener Game
Cougar Adam Breton let one fly with Monadnock defender on his legs.
Campbells next game is Saturday when Farmington-Nute High
School comes to Litchfield with a record of 0-2 have lost to Bishop
Brady 19-0 and to Mascoma Valley 14-15.
The pigskin is less than an inch too high as Campbell junior
Nick Boucher soars but can only get his finger tips on the ball.
The Run Continues for Cougar Lady Soccer
by Len Lathrop
You get scared talking about it, but dont want to jinx them. Five wins in a
row in this new season is amazing in itself but having only one score against
them is past amazing. The girls were on the bus last Friday traveling to Belmont.
Coach Gary Karibian shared some of the games action and his observation for
our readers, We went to Belmont and won 1-0 ... fourth shutout in five games.
One goal against us in five games.
Sara Keane scored about 30 minutes in assists by Jill Kohm. Mackenzie
Wagner made 12 saves in goal for us.
Our team is playing a defense first system which is allowing us to continue
these low goals against average.
Mackenzie is playing great in goal as
Improve the value of your home with a Tate Brothers Driveway a freshman, but we also have to credit
our team defense as it is limiting the
amount of big saves she has to make.
Kate Stoncius has been our sweeper
this season and is also a freshman

and is the only field player to have played every minute of every game. Jess
Manning is a senior who has bounced around from midfield to defense and has
been one of the steadiest players on the team.
Captains Jill Kohm, Jamie Jutras and Maddie Caron are a big part of our teams
high energy level each game.
Erin Douglas is a constant threat up top getting at least two breakaways a
game and constantly setting up and scoring goals.
We cannot point to one person who is making everything happen. We
truly have a team mentality with goals coming from several different people
throughout this season and everyone contributing in defense.
After the paper is put to bed on Wednesday, the squad will be at Derryfield, a
team they defeated earlier this season 2-0 in Litchfield. On Friday the girls travel
to Fall Mountain, who also are undefeated this season with a 6-0 record. There
have been no common opponents.
On Monday the 19th the Cougars will be home against Raymond, currently

Cougar Volleyball Season Starts

by Len Lathrop
Cougar Volleyball had its home opener on Tuesday when
Mascenic High School came to Litchfield. While the contest did not
go in Campbells direction the match was close but the Vikings took
the night 3-1
Coach Colin Walker was positive about the ladies 0-3 but
heading in the right direction (most of the time). We are tough out
for every team we have seen. Our losses have been 3-2, 3-2 and
3-1. The varsity has four freshmen on it with two of them getting
significant game time, while the other two are pushing in practice.
Overall we are young - one senior - her first year in the program.
We will focus on our successes and as the team and the players
roles begin to solidify we will start stringing wins together.

Litchfield traveled to Raymond on Wednesday, after press time,
and the Ladies await Stevens on the 19th and Belmont on the 21st.
The Campbell gym will be busy next week.
Alvirne Broncos Suffer Second Loss
Hayden Callery #3 heads for the goal for the two point conversion.
by Len Lathrop
As Alvirne opened at home with their second game of the season,
everyone that you talked with had high hopes that the home site
with the new red track surrounding the playing field could focus new
life into the team. The Alvirne stadium complex had not changed
since varsity football was begun at Alvirne in 1995.
When quizzing one Alvirne parent as to the Friday night game,
the first comment was did you see the

sprinkler come on? Luckily they were
on the far sideline near both end zones;
but enough talk not about the game,
maybe just one more sentence, the Alvirne
Marching Band was spectacular.
Alvirne kicked to Winnacunnet to start
the contest, and it was loud from the
Broncos faithful as Warriors fumbled the
opening kickoff. The Broncos took over
first and 10 on the 30-yard line going in.
But when a Bronco lateral pass attempt
went awry Winnacunnet had the ball
again. The fumble put the Warriors on
offense at the 29 going in, an 8-play drive
moving the 71 yards for a score, carried by
Billy Powers 30-yard touchdown run off
tackle.
Powers, Winnacunnets running back,
scored on touchdown three runs of 30, 80
and 65 yards, he contributed to the final
score of 34-8 over the struggling Broncos.

Campbell Boys Varsity Soccer

submitted by Bob Gannon
Friday, Sept. 9, at Home
Campbell 3 (5-0), Conant 0 (2-3)
The Campbell Cougar Boys Soccer team
improved to 5-0 on the young season, with a 3-0
win over visiting Conant. Campbells defense
continued to be stingy, only allowing three shots
with two on goal. Matt Gagne and TJ Furlongs
defense earned their fifth shutout. On the other end
of the field, the Cougar offense took 33 shots, 22 of
them on goal. Scoring for Campbell were Keegan
Smith two goals and Chad Martel. Assisting on
the goals were Eli Smith (2) and Ben Cote.
Tuesday, Sept. 13
Campbell 1 (6-0), Sanborn 0 (1-4)
The Campbell Boys Soccer team played at home
on Tuesday against Sanborn, winning by a score of
1-0. In a game that had the Cougars controlling
the majority of play, Campbell appeared slow and
somewhat flat, struggling to put the ball into the net.
Matt Gagne made six saves, one quite impressive, to
earn his sixth shutout in six games. TJ Furlong and
the defense played well again, especially Ben Cote.
Keegan Smith scored the only goal of the game.
Campbell next plays at Belmont on Friday.
