After dealing with an impatient and, at times, intolerant

audience at Hudsons School deliberative session, Moderator Paul
Inderbitzen urged all in attendance to be respectful of others and
specically said that even if you didnt like the speakers opinion,
one should be respectful toward the speaker.
Deliberative sessions seem to be seen as an opportunity for
those running for town ofce to get their faces before the public
as the meetings are live televised for those at home. Some
candidates spoke to issues and others tried to slip in personal
political statements with each trip to the microphone. They
were also working the audience. One school board candidate
was overheard threatening to sue the publisher of your
Hudson~Litcheld News because she didnt like a letter written
by another resident. Many questions asked showed preparation.
Selectman Roger Coutu said, Overall, the crowd, though
not as many as I would have liked to have seen, was larger than
some of the previous sessions. I was impressed by some of the
questions as, it appeared, some had done their homework before
they came. I have always maintained that the more questions
that are posed the greater the opportunity for the average citizen
to have a more in-depth understanding about the recommended
budget before them.
Per state law, no negotiated labor contract warrant article can
be changed by voters at a deliberative session.
When Coutu spoke to warrant article two, the contract for the
Hudson Police Employee Association, he urged people to think
about the people who work for the town and noted that no one in
the police department had received a raise in the last four years.
This warrant provides a 2.75 percent salary increases for police
for three coming years.
Warrant article three
proposes a three-year
contract for Hudson
highway staff, who have
been without a raise for one
year. Connie Owens asked
about the cost variation
shown in this warrant
article. The rst year costs
$51,525 in the rst year, but
drops signicantly in the
next two years. Selectman
Ben Nadeau explained that
the rst year included the
added step for employees
and the salary increase
associated with moving
employees to that step.
Warrant article four is the
contract for Hudson police,
re and town supervisors.
Again, employees in this
group have worked three
years without a salary
increase. The contract calls
for a 1.5 percent salary
increase for one year. Coutu
explained that members
in this union can make a
lateral move to another

HLN was Wrong
Good News for Litchfeld Taxpayers
by Len Lathrop
Our front-page article titled Litcheld Proposes
$1,200 in Tax Hikes was wrong. Our writer
confused the total tax rate of $3.90 as an increase
to the current tax levy. We regret the error and we
apologize for the problems and confusion it caused.
Our readers demand a higher standard from their
community paper.
If Litcheld voters choose to approve all of the
articles presented on the town ballot on March 11,
their taxes will increase 37 cents. This equates to a
$111 increase on a home valued at $300,000. These
calculations are for the town side of the tax equation
and do not reect a tax request by the school district.
While we have only regrets for this error slipping
through our writing and editing system, we hope
that all the voters in Litcheld understand the budget
request of their town and the impact it will have on
the tax levy as they go to the polls on March 11 at
the Campbell High School.

Candidates Night - Then and Now
Hudson
Deliberative Session
by Doug Robinson
Bellying up to bar to select a brand
of beer takes on a new meaning when
visiting Ralphs (last name withheld at
Ralphs request) man cave. Ralphs man
cave hosts close to 545 beer taps.
In addition to his beer taps, multiple
display cases are lled with collectable
beer steins, cigarette lighters and decks
of cards. In the man cave, visitors and
friends could become easily overwhelmed
with all the man cave eye candy.
Even the two dozen, white, acoustic
ceiling tiles above are lined with hundreds
of coasters obtained from around the
world. In a second, adjoining room,
thousands of matchbox and vintage metal
trucks have been collected since the
1960s, each in their original packaging. I
have an original Hess truck from the 60s,
commented Ralph.
The top of the bar is lined with
approximately 4,000 pennies, aligned
perfectly, each facing an identical
direction. It took 18 tubes of super glue
for me to complete that top of the bar,
comments Ralphs number one man cave
fan, his beautiful bride, Sandy.
Ralph started collecting beer taps close
to 30 years ago. It started as a hobby,
and I just kept collecting. My rst beer
tap was created by Miller Lite in the shape
of a cactus. That was 30 years ago. In
fact, when I drove a truck, I used that beer
tap as the shifter handle for my truck.
From that rst beer tap, Ralph has
searched the four corners of the earth to
not only create the ultimate man cave,
complete with his 545 beer taps, he has
also created a man cave complete with
other period pieces from the 50s, 60s and
70s. Bar mirrors, bar signs, signs that light
up and signs that are ornamented with
gold ligree encircle the man cave. Neon
Open signs are lit and illuminate the
rooms.
In order to reach the man cave, one
must walk through Sandys 50s and
60s decorated kitchen. Flooring, wall
covering and furniture all portray that
time in life when we bee bopped to the
jukebox, wore ankle socks and danced to
45 rpm records.
The stairway to the man cave is called
Penny Lane and a picture of Marilyn
Monroe has been hung on the wall.
Classic Budweiser advertising signs also
are represented on the wall. Antique
license plates from Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, Florida and other states rest
above an antique Receiving and Shipping
metal sign. At the last descending step,
a bold red and black sign states Bad
Boys Blvd. And as in all bars, the neon
Open sign was lit and also red in color.
You have now entered Man Town as
described by the sign on the stairway.

International Angelman Day
is February 15
Nearly 50 percent of individuals with Angelman syndrome,
a severe neurogenetic disorder, were incorrectly diagnosed
with another disorder prior to obtaining a proper diagnosis.
Of those individuals, more than 70 percent waited one year
or longer before receiving a proper diagnosis of Angelman
syndrome, according to the Angelman Syndrome Foundation.
During this time, these individuals lost opportunities to receive
essential treatments and therapies.
As the parent of an individual with Angelman syndrome,
I can tell you frsthand the agony behind these unacceptable
statistics.
Our son, Jason is a happy person with a positive demeanor,
and he is always smiling. Smiling is one of the traits of
Angelman syndrome, as are life-threatening seizures (if not
properly treated), signifcant developmental delays, and lack of
speech (or cooing or babbling as an infant). We did not stop
visiting doctor after doctor until fnally one day we came across
Angelman syndrome on the Internet and recognized his traits
as indicators of Angelman syndrome, leading to the proper
diagnosis at age 2 1/2. While we were relieved to fnally have
a diagnosis, this process took too long, and it is difcult to
fathom how many treatment opportunities have been missed
because of this delayed diagnosis. It is further unsettling to
know how many other families are facing these same obstacles.
By taking every opportunity available to educate parents
of children with a general developmental delay (as some
doctors diagnose), and to educate medical professionals who
are unaware of this disorder, we can hopefully reduce these
statistics. It will ensure that our loved ones with Angelman
syndrome get the crucial treatments they need, as early as
possible.
February 15 is International Angelman Syndrome
Awareness Day. Please help educate families and medical
professionals about Angelman syndrome by directing them
to Angelman.org/Diagnosis where they can fnd and share
information and connect to resources.
It may help save a life.

Concerns For Our Nations Future
I read with great empathy Mr. Jason Shoemakerss letter in
the February 7 edition. He touched on a matter that is very
much in my heart and thoughts.
I become more and more concerned with the future of our
beloved nation as a world leader as I see the continuing growth
of two very damaging trends. Te progressively rapid decline
of our moral standards and the continuing growth of our
national debt are dangerous! Without sacrifcing even more of
our constitutionally guaranteed rights there is not much that
our elected ofcials can do about the moral issue. Te growing
debt issue is of such a magnitude that it can only be corrected
by courageous action by our legislatures.
On the moral issue, I am constantly appalled by the
destructive garbage that is being fed to us by the entertainment
industries including movies, TV, and electronic games that
are poisoning the minds of our children. What has happened
to us when Te Wolf of Wall Street, which not too long ago
would have been X rated pornography, is being considered for
Academy Awards? Our children are constantly fed images of
brutal violence to the point that they dont see what is wrong
with it and even mimic it. Where is the thinking developed
that leads to children going into schools and killing children?
TV auto advertising makes it look glamorous to drive cars in
a manner that should only be done by trained professional
drivers.
Without seriously damaging our free speech rights
government cannot do much to correct this situation.
Certainly the Main Stream press could take some leadership
by chastising the producers of this garbage. Its hard to believe
that the producers of this trash who are making billions of
dollars from it are going to voluntarily change their ways unless
the dollars stop following to them.
As to the dangers of our growing national debt there is
much our elected ofcials in Washington can do if they only
had the courage to stand up for what they have to know is
right.
I have read authoritative writing lately that spells out the
fact that the U.S. Dollar is slowing losing its international
position as the major currency of international trade. Major
economic powers such as China and Australia to name but a
few are fnding ways of doing trade in other than American
dollars. Believe me, and others with a lot more knowledge
than I have, that when the U.S. Dollar becomes so defated
that it is no longer recognized as the best for international trade
we will see infation rates in this country that are devastating.
Tose in the know warn that at the present rate at which our
national debt is growing this catastrophe is not all that far
down the road.
One very simple thing those assembled in our nations
capital can do is stop enacting feel good programs without at
the same time providing for funding them without increasing
debt. Tey want to extend the unemployment benefts those
long-term unemployed who are truly trying to fnd appropriate
work which is a good idea, then reduce or eliminate some other
program that is no longer needed or justifable. Sounds easy if
only the politicians had the courage to do so. Our nation can
no longer aford to fund every feel good proposal that comes
along.
Remember, our constitution did not guarantee happiness.
It only guaranteed us the right to pursue happiness without
interference by the government.
Please, lets begin to think about the long-term efects
of what we do and stop being content with the immediate
satisfaction of our desires and wishes.

Correction to the Tax Increase
in Litchfeld
Te following letter was written to Litchfeld Town
Administrator, Jason Hoch, February 6, 2014:
Te purpose of this e-mail is to follow up on our phone
conversation in which I apologized to your for my inaccurate
reporting of the upcoming Litchfeld Budget.
Te error occurred while calculating the increases from the
warrant articles as published on your website.
I added in the 3.57 operating budget percent to the total
increase, and that is the source of my error. I should have
used the diference, as I have done in years past with other
communities.
In speaking with you, the actual number should be near
$111 per home valued at $300,000.
In no way was my reporting done intentionally and I will
be writing a retraction of that story which will be published in
next weeks HLN.
Feel free to share this e-mail with the Selectmen, Budget
Committee, as well as the community of Litchfeld. Please
publish this letter on the Litchfeld website as well.
I deeply apologize for my error and I am sorry for any grief
which may come your way as a result.
Te correct tax impact per e-mail from Jason:
Te total tax impact (not increase) for the budget article
is $3.58. If all appropriation articles pass, estimate tax rate is
$3.91, an increase of $0.37 on the tax rate - or an impact of
$111 on the proverbial $300,000 home.
I apologize for the misunderstanding.

Harlem Wizards Play For a Packed Gym
by Tom Tollefson
The sight of overow
parking pouring into the
Hills Garrison parking
lot was a sure sign of
success for the evenings
game between the Harlem
Wizards and the Hudson
All-Stars, a team made up
of teachers from across
the district. With not a
spare space to be found, a
capacity crowd crammed
into the Steckevicz gym
to witness the highying
dunks, dazzling moves
and classic comedy of
the Harlem Wizards. The
Alvirne Bronco boosters
club sponsored the event.
Its great. Its way more
fun than I thought it would
be. Its good being back
here. The gym is very
nostalgic, said Hudson
resident Jackie Smith, who
graduated from Alvirne
in 1989. We waited to
get in line to get here for
15 minutes. Someone had said there were no seats left and we were
leaving. Then someone else came down saying there were 100 seats
left so we came back. Jackie Smith said.
The fans all believed it was well worth the wait for an enjoyable
evening.
Its a good positive environment for the kids and a good hometown
feel to see everybody come out for this event in the cold weather,
Hudson resident Glenn Guimond said.
The children especially enjoyed the comedy and athletics of the
evening.
I like all the dunks, Hudson Memorial sixth grader Meshack
Mugariri said.
I like all the fancy tricks and how theyre really funny, said fellow
sixth grader Brett McKinley.
A Harlem Wizards game also wouldnt be complete without giving
the children a chance to get involved. The show basketball players
invited the youngsters onto the court for a game of catch and some
dancing during a few of the breaks between quarters. They also
handed out autographs to a few fortunate young fans.
The energy was contagious and thats when we like to perform and
put on a great show, said Harlem Wizard David Paul, nicknamed
DP.
The opposing Hudson team agreed it was a great show as well.
Its amazing playing against a bunch of guys who travel around
the world and send a great message to kids, said Hills Garrison
special education teacher Matt Tanuma.
According to AHS booster club President Dave Melanson, a little
less than half of the proceeds from the game tickets went towards
the booster clubs general fund while the rest went to the Harlem
Wizards. He credited booster club Vice President Karen McAdam
for coordinating the event.
The booster clubs mission is to support the athletics, and thats
noble. Theyre a dedicated group of volunteers and having a big
crowd here is one thing but the energy is another and the energy
was unbelievable. I think this exceeded everybodys expectations,
said Alvirne Principal Steven Beals, who also played alongside the
Hudson teachers.
Melanson said he hoped they would sell 500 tickets, but ended
up selling 1,000. Melanson credited the high ticket sales to the
Wizards visits to the Hudson schools to promote the event earlier
the day of the game.
The kids saw them and were really hooked. Thats when my
cell phone started ringing off the hook, Melanson said about the
increase in ticket sales.
Promoting the event was not the only purpose of the players visit.
The basketball stars also took time to talk to the school children
about being good citizens and good students.
The predominant theme seemed to be dream big and work hard
to go after it, Melanson said.
Te Harlem Wizards are shown playing against the Hudson All-Stars, a team
made up of teachers across the Hudson school district.

Northside Grille: Family Cooking with Family Values
Mat, Northside Grille cook extraordinaire (center), expertly applies just the
correct amount of his freshly cut dill to the sauce, while Roger and Lauren look
on. Te dill sauce will be used as that special topping to bring home that
hometown favor, comments Roger.
by Doug Robinson
Roger Soulard and Lauren Sullivan have teamed up to bring
their hometown Hudson values for all to enjoy with the opening
of their new restaurant, Northside Grille, 323 Derry Road, Route
102, Hudson. Complete with a pictorial walkway of Hudson
history, those who visit Northside Grille feel the warmth, charm and
dedication to details needed to provide value and good memories.
This restaurant is about Hudson. We focus on the family and for
that reason we have not jammed the dining room with excessive
seating. Sure, we could t four more tables with 16 chairs in our
dining room, but, we value the family, we value their ability to sit
comfortably, and we value their need to share conversation within
the privacy of that dining table, comments owner Roger Soulard.
Whether you wish to be alone at the bar to watch TV or read one
of the complimentary daily newspapers, sit comfortably in a booth
with your loved one or bring in the whole family of 25, Northside
Grill offers their customers that opportunity. Compete with handicap
accessible bathrooms and ample handicap parking; Northside
Grille has become the talk of the town in terms of performance and
perfection.
This does not feel like a job, states Front of the House Manager
Lauren Sullivan. Lauren believes that this is our home, and we
are a family with our customers. Some come daily and some come
a couple times a day. We get to know them and we get to spend
time talking with them so that we may enjoy their lives too. That is
important to us.
Both Roger and Lauren were raised in Hudson and both were
educated in the Hudson school system. We understand our price
conscious customers, as well as their need for comfort food. Every
day we have daily specials. Customers have learned our weekly
specials board and have come to expect and love our specials.
The weekly specials are: Buffalo shrimp (Monday), pepper burger
(Tuesday), Scallops Fra Diavolo (Wednesday), country fried steak
(Thursday) and salmon pie (Friday).
Without question, our salmon pie is the hands down favorite.
We even offer takeout for our specials.
All soups and specials are made with the freshest ingredients.
Roger challenges his chefs to continually better themselves with
their recipes. He has offered the chefs an iPad for them to research
and to look up different recipes for the same meal. Cooks and food
preparers peel onions and cut the dill to the precise portions so that
their dill sauce for their salmon pie tastes to perfection.
Northside Grilles American fare easy read menu of appetizers,
sandwiches, wraps, burgers, seafood, and dinners not only details
the food selection; the menu also talks about those Hudson values.
Perfection, hand breaded, warmed bulkie roll, a mix of vegetables
sauted in a teriyaki glaze, and a avorful twist welcomes diners at
the Grille.
It is all about pride, continues Roger. We have a pride of
presence, a pride of personality and a pride of performance. From
sidewalk to kitchen, we operate and expect ourselves to hold each
other to the highest standards of integrity for our customers. We
challenge each other from cook to waitress, from the back of the
house to the front of the house.
We do not want to known as a diner. You will not hear the
banging of dishes from our kitchen nor will you hear the clang
of dishes being bused from the tables. Our staff is professionally
dressed for our customers enjoyment and expectation.
Roger and Lauren spent four years designing, planning and
preparing for their Northside Grille. I spent months going from
restaurant to restaurant looking at oor plans, color schemes, menus,
silverware, glasses and the set up of other restaurants, commented
Lauren. I want our customers to feel warm and welcome as they sit
and enjoy our hand made fresh soups and chowder. We offer spice
chicken squash soup, steak and vegetable rice soup, sh and clam
chowder, as well as a huge variety of the freshest salads.
Recently, with the growth of Northside Grilles salad lunch
business, Roger and Lauren re-invented their salad selections. We
have medical staff, in their scrubs, asking us to provide them with
a healthy lunch. We listen to our customers. With their help, we
upgraded not only our salad selection; we also upgraded our takeout
containers. We not only broadened our salad menu, we also
increased the quality of the food served.
Roger and Lauren are not only thankful to their loyal customer
base, they are also thankful to those who have taken a chance on
them. We are living our dream. We are so thankful to our partners
who not only helped us nancially, but help us every day with their
business knowledge and their knowledge about life. They took a
chance on us. Their trust, networking and their condence in us are
overwhelming. We have become extremely close friends, beyond
the business relationship, and for that I am extremely grateful.
We wanted to create a new neighborhood restaurant that offers
something new in the area. Our goal is to bring you all three
meals breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Our menu is based on simple
American fare comfort food where the taste and quality stands
for what we believe in. Coming to the Grille, you will get a full
experience no matter the time of day, not only with our food but also
great service, and oh yeah, the atmosphere is great too. See you
soon.
Northside Grille is open Monday-Wednesday 6 a.m. to 3 p.m.,
Thursday-Friday 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. and
Sunday 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.
You may visit the Northside Grille at https://www.facebook.
com/pages/North-Side-Grille/149780675220997 or call them
at 886-3663.
Northside Grille regulars, Scott and Rosie Brackett, enjoy their homemade cooked
breakfast of eggs, toast, home fries, and Rosies favorite: Belgian waf es with freshly
cut strawberries, blueberries, sliced bananas and mile high real whipped cream.
Roger Soulard and Lauren Sullivan have teamed up to bring their hometown
Hudson values for all to enjoy at their new restaurant, Northside Grille,
Route 102 (323 Derry Rd.), Hudson.
Mmm - Mmm good ... See you real soon!

Troop 21 Holds Winter Court of Honor
submitted by Ben Dibble
Thursday, February 6, Troop 21
held its awards banquet, known
in the scout world as a Court of
Honor.
Starting with a potluck dinner,
the boys helped set up the tables
and chairs. After a blessing, the
boys dug in and vanquished the
potluck dinner. Thank goodness
for pasta!
After dinner the troop started the
ofcial meeting with presentation
of the United States, State of New
Hampshire, and troop ags. David
V. opened the Court and then
turned it over to Mike Gagnon
and Scoutmaster Chris Lopes
to present the ranks and merit
badges. Jacob N. did very well,
earning ve merit badges on his
way to eagle, and Greg G. also
pulled in a couple. Then Mr.
Lopes presented the patches to
the scouts who did the freeze out at the yearly Klondike Derby on February 1. The boys camped out
in sub-freezing weather to help their patrols by earning freeze-out points for the Klondike. The effort
paid off, and the Camouage Patrol tied for ninth at the Klondike. The boys got Klondike and freeze-out
patches for their uniforms and
scout memory boxes.
Mr. Dibble thanked the
adults who helped run the
troop 21 Klondike station with
patches as well. The troop
plans a trip to North Carolina
in late April, visiting Kitty
Hawk and spending some time
hiking and camping.
If you are interested in
real, sub-freezing, non-virtual
adventure, contact Chris Lopes
at 881-7317.

Philip Mantle Hibbert passed
away on January 27, 2014, at
the age of 63 in the Brigham and
Womens Hospital in Boston, MA,
with his wife and brother at his
side.
He was a person with great
expertise in structuring and
organizing, having a talent in
understanding and managing real
life as well as rather abstract things,
while being gentle and polite, an
example of service to others and great patience at the same
time. His great lifelong interest in science, literature and
music inuenced our lives. He was a wonderful husband,
brother, uncle, friend, colleague and neighbor. He will be
greatly missed.
Following his LDS mission to Germany, he studied for
many years at the institute for Languages and Cultures of
the Near East at the University of Heidelberg in Germany
and has throughout the years done many translations
of Assyrian, Sumerian and Akkadian texts - taken from
cuneiform clay tablets.
As an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints (Mormon), he served in many ward
leadership positions, supported and loved the members
of his ward. He enjoyed spending as much time as he
could in the Boston Temple. Phil had a rm testimony of
the reality of Jesus Christ and strived to get yet closer. Phil
married the love of his life Gabriele on June 13, 1972, and
again on September 14, 2012. Theirs is a truly great love
story.
Phil always expressed a happy greeting and thank you
and was an innately positive person despite his long
suffering. He leaves behind his wife, his brothers Kim and
Clint and their families.
He was preceded in death by his parents Julian and Alice
Hibbert and his oldest brother Wynn.
Burial took place at the Holladay Memorial Park, 4900
Memory Grove Lane in Salt Lake City, UT on February 6.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday,
February 15, at 110 Concord Street in Nashua.

The teachers at Alvirne High School who facilitate the Scholastic
Read 180 Program were most appreciative when the Hudson Lions
Club donated money to replace microphones and earphones that are
no longer in working order for use in this program.
The program is designed to help students improve their reading
skills so they can be more successful in other classes. The program
has a specic curriculum, part of which requires students to access
a computer program that reinforces reading, spelling and uency.
Once accessing the computer, the students need to listen and record
which is why it is crucial to have properly functioning equipment
that will contribute to the students success. There are 12 computers
used for this program. Through the
donation from the Hudson Lions
Club, seven stick microphones
and ten sets of earphones were
purchased to replace the broken
equipment.

Alvirnes Family and Consumer Science Club Plans Busy Spring
by Laurie Jasper
Alvirne High Schools Family and Consumer
Science Club (FACS) has had a busy year so
far and is looking ahead to spring. Under the
guidance of Joan Blanchard, Alvirnes FACS
teacher, the group of volunteers meets Thursdays
after school to plan and organize. Most of the
things get done outside of meetings. We do what
we can during free periods, making posters and
putting them up, said Joan.
Lee denim day at Alvirne is a popular event
the FACS Club sponsors each year in October.
Teachers pay to wear jeans on that day, to raise
money for breast cancer research. We set up a
display case with in memory or in honor cards,
and that case is lled at the end, said Joan.
This year, as in past years, the club made pans
of apple crisp for Hudson Fish and Game Clubs
annual Thanksgiving dinner, using apples donated
by the GFWC Hudson Community Club.
At Christmas, the club adopted a family through
St. Vincent DePaul Society, in conjunction with
Alvirnes National Honor
Society. Club member Kayla
Gendreau, a senior, said, We
helped a family of seven, we put
together a Christmas tree with
wishes on it (from the family),
and the teachers take the wishes.
There was enough money left
over to buy groceries and gifts
cards.
The annual coat drive, from
Thanksgiving through Christmas,
collected over 120 coats this
year, as well as countless
sweatshirts and other cold
weather items. The FACS Club
washed and organized them,
then distributed them to Caties
Closet, local refugee families
and other places in need.
As many know, Caties Closet
is a non-prot organization that
collects clothing and accessories
through donations and distributes them to the
growing number of Caties Closet locations in
schools in the Merrimack Valley area. Students in
need are able to shop the closet for free.
Caties Closet was established in memory of
Catie Bisson of Lowell, MA, who died in 2010
at the age of 20 after a life-long battle with
Loeys Dietz Syndrome, a rare disease that affects
connective tissue. Alvirne is home to a branch of
Caties Closet.
FACS Clubs next big undertaking is for the
Cinderella Project. From now through April, the
group will collect, organize and deliver donated,
gently used prom dresses. Some of those dresses
will remain at Alvirnes Caties Closet, while the
rest will be distributed to the New Hampshire
Cinderella Project. As you recall, Cinderella
couldnt attend the ball because she had nothing
to wear, until her Fairy Godmother arrived and
transformed her into a beautiful princess for the
evening. Proms are expensive, and all young
ladies should have the opportunity to attend if
they wish, without concern. Prom dresses are
usually only worn once, and then relegated to the
back of the closet. FACS Club is asking for you to
be someones Fairy Godmother and donate prom
gowns to their cause. Last year, over 50 gowns
were collected. Gowns may be dropped off in
Alvirnes main ofce during school hours.
During last weeks meeting, the ve members
of FACS Club in attendance-sophomore Jenn
Thompson, freshman Sondra Casanera, senior
Kayla Gendreau, senior Deanna Hamilton, senior
Doreen Doucette - all spoke of other ways they
volunteer in their community and shared their
future plans. Their efforts go beyond the club. All
plan a lifelong commitment to service. Its great
to volunteer, its a part of our life, shared Kayla.
Joan Blanchard and members of the FACS Club show some of the prom dresses donated to Caties Closet.

Hello Mr. Snowman
by Doug Robinson
You cannot miss it. Mr. Snowman stands at least 13 feet high and was the creation of Joe
Bradley, owner of Bradley Motors on Lowell Road in Hudson.
I made the snowman from the snow after clearing our parking lot. I used my tractor to
keep stacking the snow and then I sculpted the snowman. I was just having fun and I am glad
that those driving by are having fun too, commented Joe Bradley
Alexandra Maniotis, John Zubretsky and baby Ella (who
will be born in two weeks) give Mr. Snowman a hug as
they enjoy and celebrate their new beginnings.
Tis is the biggest snowman I have ever seen.
You can see his face while driving from both directions.
Tis is really great, commented John.

community and immediately earn more money so he felt it was
important to support this contract. Randy Brownrigg asked how it
is determined how much each employee gets when a contract is
passed. Will everyone get a raise and how much? Coutu said all
employees would get a raise based on a wage schedule within a
contract. Brownrigg asked about selectmen giving a raise this year
to a non-union employee without a vote of the people. Coutu said,
yes, selectmen did vote to give a raise.
Budget committee member John Drabinowicz spoke in favor of
the contract, noting that he is not in favor of union contracts. He
explained that he was voting in favor of these contracts because
there were signicant cost benets to the town because the
contracts allowed for changing health plans. Drabinowicz urged
everyone to vote in favor of all the contracts on the ballot.
Warrant article ve is for the labor contract for Hudson support
staff, who have had no salary increases for four years. Selectman
Ted Luszey pointed out that these are the lowest paid employees in
town. The contract does add a step, but also has the insurance plan
changes that would benet the town by offsetting costs for benets.
Warrant article six is for the contract for the re ghters, who
have been without a salary increase for ve years. The contract
provides for a 2.75 percent salary increase and, as with the other
contracts, includes health insurance concessions which means that
the contract has a net zero impact on the tax rate.
As the morning moved along, motions to restrict reconsideration
later in the meeting passed and audience members slowly drifted
out the door.
Warrant article seven provides for a 2.75 percent increase for the
tax collector and warrant article eight provides for a 2.75 percent
increase for non-union town employees, which includes: the town
administrator, both police and re chiefs, the nance director, road
agent, IT director, recreation director and executive assistant to the
board of selectmen.
Once again Drabinowicz stood to support the salary increase
warrant articles and got the biggest chuckle of the day when he
said, Hearing my support for these contracts, people are probably
wondering who is wearing the Drabinowicz suit?
Warrant article nine is for the operating budget in the amount of
$23,822,277 with a default budget amount of $23,329,646. Jon
Maltz, Chairman of the Budget Committee, spoke to this warrant
article.
Hudson Trustee Len Lathrop accompanied by Trustee Ed
Duchesne with Trustee Harry Schibanoff helping televise the
meeting moved to amend the operating budget by adding $15,000
for trustee investment agent and showed a chart to illustrate how
much could be earned by doing this. Lathrop explained that state
law had changed allowing for this, but budget development was
well underway. This motion had support from selectmen.
Board of Selectmen Chairman Rick Maddox said, The trustees
saw a way for the town to make more money off of its investments.
Trustees came to the selectmen and explained we as a town should
not wait another year just because the budget was where it was
in the cycle. I applaud their thinking outside the budget box and
putting the money request on the oor of deliberative session. If we
can get $100,000 more for spending $15,000, I for one are there.
Coutu agreed and said, The trustees presented a plan which
would require them to spend an additional $15,000 for an
investment rm to better invest our monies held in trust. I have
always lived by the adage that you have to spend money to make
money. Though this may not be true of public sector general funds,
funds held in trust should be invested at the maximum rate of
interest available. Based on their research they believe, as I, that
the additional $15,000 will yield two to three times more than we
are presently receiving in interest. If we are presently receiving
approximately $30,000, and we could increase that to near
$90,000, the $15,000 will be well spent.
After the audience agreed with the motion and it passed, Lathrop
said, The trustees thank the people at the deliberative session for
supporting the budget increase. The trustees continue to work to
achieve the best return on investment for the capital reserve funds
and trust funds we oversee for the town. Adding, this small amount
to the budget at the deliberative allowed the return on investment to
be increased as soon as July 1, 2014. The operating budget will be
$23,837,277.
Stuart Schneiderman moved to reduce public works streets
overtime by $50,000. He had a lengthy argument with several
statements about lack of management.
Although Coutu seconded the amendment, he later said he did
so because he wanted to hear the debate. However, he objected to
the discussion which used three words, misused, over used and not
managed. I resent this and those terms especially reected upon
that department head.
Nadeau pointed out that snow storms do not come between 8 and
5 and overtime is used to plow roads.
I cannot tell you how strongly I oppose this amendment, said
Drabinowicz. This is a heavy handed attempt to put the cart before
the horse rather than this heavy handed approach. He said he
knows streets get plowed and we work with a road agent. If there
is a problem with the management of overtime, we should have a
warrant article to study the use of overtime.
Maltz said, The alternative to overtime is more employees so
we hope overtime is managed. He said hiring enough people to
manage the department 24 hours a day seven days a week would
cost a lot more so he urged defeat of the warrant article.
Schneiderman said he was looking for transparency and not
accusing anyone of malfeasance. All I wanted to do was open up
the books.
The amendment failed.
There were questions about the senior center and about the skate
park, which has been closed by selectmen.
Altogether there are 17 warrant articles on the town ballot,
including a non-binding petitioned warrant article. For the rst time,
both the sewer fund operating budget and the water fund operating
budget are being presented by themselves. Previously, these two
budgets had been rolled into the general operating budget.
Warrant articles 12 and 13 support revolving accounts for Hudson
seniors and Hudson Cable TV. The cable TV gets a franchise fee
from the cable provider and the franchise fee is used to support
community television. By using revolving funds, funds collected
can cross from one scal year into another.
Article 12 provides a way for Hudson seniors to pay for trips
and activities. Currently, no tax dollars are used to support senior
activities or trips; participants pay the money paid. This allows
seniors to make payments for more expensive trips and to ensure
that the money will remain available to them.
At the end of the meeting, Coutu said, I was very pleased with
the reception we received for the warrant articles and have a great
faith that people will realize that we need to begin to invest in our
employees and stop the revolving door of having employees use our
town as a training ground for other communities. Voting will be on
March 11 at the community center between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m.

As the town and school
board election approaches
on March 11, our past
practice is that candidate
endorsements will be
excluded from the Thumbs
arena, but will be accepted
as Letters to the Editor.
Readers have the right to
know who is supporting
or not supporting elected
ofcials. Those running
for ofce are given a
complimentary candidate
announcement of 400
words or less with a photo,
and one Letter to the
Editor, 600 words or less, to
address their platform for
election. There is no limit
on third party support for
issues and/or candidates,
but submissions are limited
to one submission per
contributor per week.
We realize that there are
some included this week as
our readers had not been
advised before this issue.
Thumbs down to Hudson
school superintendent for
his funny and changing
numbers. We never get the
same story twice using your
facts and gures.
Thumbs up - way up
to LMS Cathy Schneider
for her tireless work in our
community. She spent all
of last wknd. making sure
that Super Bowl Subs ran
smoothly and was very
successful. I hope that the
Parents and Staff of LMS
realize what an asset she
is to the school and our
children. Go Cathy!
Thumbs up. Thumbs
way up to Hunter! I want to
know how much he weighs.
Its nice to know you love
your grandchild!
Thumbs up. Thumbs way up to CVS Pharmacy
for announcing that by October 1st they will no
longer be selling tobacco products! Pharmacies
shouldnt be selling these cancer sticks to begin
with.
Thumbs down to the Hudson plow team. You
do a great job plowing the streets, I appreciate
that. But this is the 4th storm in a row that you
have completely smashed our mailbox off the
post. Can you please stop hitting it? Please!
Thumbs down. Thumbs way down to the
snow plowing in Hudson this year. Another
snowstorm and my mailbox taken down yet again.
The 4th time this year. It is well off the road
and has reectors ... really no excuse. Just drive
up and down Gowing Road and look at all the
smashed mailboxes. You guys are really doing a
poor job this year.
Thumbs down to those who blame others in
Hudson schools.
Thumbs up to voters for nally realizing that
the democratic/far left liberal system is worse
than any republican system in history. Good
people assume the best in people and assumed
that liberals had good intentions of helping. They
now realize that they are far more self serving,
destructive, uneducated, lazy people that want to
live off the backs of those that have a conscience
and have destroyed all the things that were good
about the USA.
Thumbs up/Thumbs down. Litcheld
conservatives are the people that support your
lazy, non-working, uneducated, non-tax paying,
way of life. Instead of taking and not earning, and
promoting the downward spiral of this country,
why not wake up and realize that the word
conservative means, a person that works and
pays taxes, and does not want to support the ones
that do not want to work and pay taxes.
Thumbs down to the boat captain in Hudson.
People thought the Titanic was wonderful too.
Saving money by cutting
corners is great, until you hit an
iceberg.
Thumbs up to Hunter.
While I am sure he is an
adorable toddler, his weight is
of no interest to anyone but his
parents, and pediatrician.
Thumbs up to Mrs.
Johnstone. She is truly amazing!
We are so lucky to have her at
GMS!
Thumbs up. I just wanted
to say thanks to the crew who
plowed on Burns Hill Rd. in Hudson. This is
the rst time that my pup and I could walk on
the road without the fear of getting picked off by
passing cars or trying to climb up a snow bank. It
was such a pleasure to walk more than my own
street which is a dead end. Again thanks!
Thumbs up to the Hudson Rec girls basketball,
and a special thumbs up to Sting for their
undefeated season. You did a great job girls!
Thumbs down to the Litcheld Liberal who
suggested that all conservatives move to another
town. Have things sunk to the depths where
liberals demand that people who advocate scal
responsibility; small, effective government;
lower tax burdens; and personal freedom and
responsibility be banished from
their presence? When NY Gov.
Cuomo said something similar
about conservatives in his state,
it sounded like the ravings of an
ideological extremist. To learn that
our neighbors think the same way is
staggering.
Thumbs up to Nancy Woods,
Alician Otis, Victoria Chamberlin,
the students and all other who
made CHS ski Club a great season!
Thumbs up to Coach Carl for
an awesome season coaching
the Hudson Junior Boys Celtics!
Great job and thanks for your
commitment to the kids of
Hudson.
Thumbs down to snowmobilers
in Litcheld for ignoring no
snowmobiling signs and going
around fences to ride on our
beautiful elds. No one invited
you, so stay off! Parents, do you
know where your kids are riding? I
hope your machine breaks down,
and you have to walk home. We
will be happy to call the Police for
you.
Thumbs up to the LMS seventh
grader who has been helping with
the girls lacrosse clinics. Hope to
see you on the lacrosse eld with
a CHS uniform on in a couple of
years!
Thumbs up to the Hudson
Rec Basketball Senior Boys
Undefeated Championship Lakers!
Great job by all of the players
this season! Effort, teamwork and
sportsmanship payoff.
Thumbs down to the LPD. They
want 2 new cruisers, maybe they
should think of actually responding
to calls, kinda like when my
window was shot out and I called
to make a report. They never sent
an ofcer. Id rather pay for a
village idiot to stand on 3A and yell
at trafc.
Thumbs up to Bruce Atwood! It
was refreshing to read his thorough
and thoughtful response to another contributors
recent inaccurate reporting (deaths attributed
to climate change legislation in Britain). His
research demonstrated that the number was
taken out of context, resulting in a dramatic
overstatement of deaths. He did not minimize
the concern for climate change,
but instead put the information
in perspective. We should all
be more aware of how awed,
emotional reporting on any topic
can distort the facts and adversely
affect our understanding of it.
Thumbs up to Talia for taking
it upon herself to get Girls
Lacrosse at CMS. Thumbs up
Emily, the LMS seventh grader,
for volunteering to help get the
high school girls who have never
played before, ready for the
season. You maturity, lacrosse
skills, and teaching ability are
greatly appreciated.
Thumbs down. It took Bush
eight years to increase the debt by
more than 4 trillion dollars. The
dear leader in the White House
only took ve years to increase the debt more than
8 trillion dollars! What a country!
Thumbs down. Prediction for the uninformed:
When Sheehan comes out of hiding, guess who
will be by her side, none other than Hilary What
difference does it make Clinton! You will be
lucky to even see the Senator. This Senator voted
99% of the time for Obama policies and now as a
net worth over three million, which includes the
income that her husband makes as a lobbyist in
Washington, DC.
Thumbs down. It looks like the unemployment
rate is going down! Could it be that so many
people have stopped looking and after a period of
time they are not counted? The Bureau of Labor
Statistics uses a term called U3 which does not
count the people that have completely dropped
out of the work force. If U6 is used, which counts
all unemployed, the true number for January 2014
using U6 is 12.7 percent.
Thumbs up to the guy in the plaid jacket for
stopping by at Saturdays deliberative session. We
know he is keeping tabs on things from the other
side.
Thumbs up the guy in the plaid jacket. It
would have been really good if he had made a
motion to take the money out of the budget line
item for the selectmens pay and move it to the
sewer fund.
Thumbs up to the Red Riding Hood display
at Rogers Library. Its charming and delightful.
Thank you for sharing.
Thumbs down. I was thoroughly disappointed
with the turnout at the Deliberative Session. The
school teachers and everything, they got together
and they packed a whole hall, 95% of the people
there were for the school budgets. What a joke.
Taxpayers in Hudson do not be fooled by this.
They are eecing your pockets. Please vote no
in March for these Warrant Articles. Theyre just
gonna take ya to the cleaners. Keep that tax rate
down. And kudos to the Selectmen for a good
job.
Thumbs down. Double thumbs down to the
Hudson School Board and the Superintendent.
You have absolutely no authority to use Hudson
school vehicles, personnel, or fuel to bus students
to the Community Center on voting day. This is a
agrant abuse that reeks of desperation to pass a
budget that will cause severe nancial hardship
to people already suffering from the depression
and the fallout from Obamacare. The average
increase is $800/month to the median household.
Thats 66 dollars alone for the school taxes. Are
you gonna offer this bus service to the senior
citizens, or the people who have to work, or
deliver absentee ballots to them? Seniors, not the
students, just the senior citizens, youve already
had a ride. Call the HSB and Mr. Lane, they
havent heard us yet.
Thumbs down to the Litcheld Selectmen and
School Board. Are you out of your mind? In this
economy, isnt your job to try to keep costs down
and lower taxes? We are mostly middle-class and
retired seniors living on xed income. We are not
Hollis, and if you want to be like Hollis, move to
Hollis. You are not representing our interests.
Thumbs down. In response to last week,
being both a dunce and staring the part, would
be to follow in the Republican footprints. Tell
me if Im wrong. The Bush administration ended
in hardships. Republicans havent given any
help to recover. The Republicans had a lot to do
with discontinuing extra security in places like
Benghazi. Republicans shut down government;
Republicans block extended unemployment
benets, Republicans are connected with words
like terrorism, sabotage, treason, blackmail,
extortion, and stupidity at a cost of 24 billion
dollars. Now they are against John McCain, who
is really ill-informed by stopping programs that
help children to eat.

Campbell Out-Hustles Somersworth, 50-35
by Phillip Nichols
On February 7, the Campbell Cougars entered the
Den with a record of 12-1 and riding a four game
winning streak to play the Somersworth Hilltoppers,
who were looking to end this streak. At the end of
the day, Campbell would prevail, behind the leading
scorers Hannah Neild with 12 points and Kylee Julia
with 11 points.
At the start of the game, it was close. The Cougars
elected to play man-to-man defense, while the
Hilltoppers played zone. Campbell seemed to move
the ball around effectively and wait for the open
shots. Likewise, Somersworth played well against
the smothering man-to-man defense of Campbell.
Both teams basically played to a tie at the end
of the rst quarter, with the score 8-10. The game
would stay tight and the Hilltoppers held the lead
until about midway through the second period.
Campbell took its rst lead in the second quarter
at the 4:54 mark, 13-12. The lead changed hands
again with 3:41 seconds left in the second half
when Somersworths junior Maddie Osbon hit a
three pointer from the left side of the court, giving
Somersworth an 18-17 advantage.
The Cougars Hannah Neild would keep them in
the game by creating turnovers and making great
decisions with the basketball. As the pace picked up
late in the second quarter, turnovers began to take its
toll on the Hilltoppers.
Campbells defense began clamping down and
allowed the Cougars to go into the locker room with
a 23-18 lead.
In the third quarter, the Cougars began attacking
the painted area of the court offensively. Both teams
battled for the loose balls by diving on the oor.
Still, the turnovers by Somersworth began to cause
problems.
With 5:40 seconds left in the third quarter, the
Cougars put on their patented press and began
creating even more turnovers. Campbell managed
to increase its lead to eight points.
Somersworth eventually called a time-out to settle
the team. By the end of the third quarter, the score
was 38-25.
Prior to the fourth quarter, Somersworths Head
Coach Michael Francoeur told his team to keep their
feet and stressed that they were still within striking
distance. The Cougars Coach Robert Allen told his
team to keep pressing and grabbing rebounds.
Campbell kept up the pressure and created an
11-point lead with just over six minutes left in
the game. However, the Hilltoppers continued to
battle, and with 4:13 seconds left in the game, the
Hilltopers had cut the Cougar lead from 11 points to
two points.
The Hilltoppers called a time-out and the coach
told them to continue to be aggressive on defense.
Clinging to the lead, Campbell began to press
the Hilltoppers to force time off the clock and the
Hilltoppers were forced to foul the Cougars after the
Cougars got the lead back to 10 points. The Cougars
went on to win by a score of 50-35.
Campbell pushes their win streak to ve in a row.

The Tax Return - The Net
Investment Income Tax
W.F.Boutin EA - Total Tax Solutions LLC
This week we will look at the new tax for some individuals based
upon net investment income.
Net Investment Income consists of interest, dividends, capital gains,
rent and royalty income, non-qualied annuities and businesses that
are passive activities to a taxpayer. Once again, the threshold amounts
for this tax are similar to those for the Additional Tax on Wages that we
discussed in the last article. The threshold for ling statuses single and
head of household is $200,000, $250,000 for Married Filing Joint and
Qualied Widower with a dependent child and $125,000 for Married
Filing Separate.
This threshold level is compared to the AGI (adjusted gross income)
that is found on the income tax return and under certain circumstances
income that was excluded form gross income must be added back into
the AGI to arrive at the MAGI (modied adjusted gross income) .
MAGI's exist for most tax deductions and credits that have phase-out
limits. The types of income that is required to be added back to the AGI
on the return varies from the rules for each particular deduction/credit.
In many cases the MAGI and AGI are the same.
Once you have calculated your modied adjusted gross income, you
must calculate your net investment income. Net investment income is
gross investment income reduced by deductions that are allocable to
that income. Deductions may include investment interest expense,
investment advisory and brokerage fees, and other expenses related
directly to the income in question.
The new Form 8960 is used to calculate the net investment income
tax. First subtract the modied adjusted gross income from the
appropriate threshold amount for your ling status. If the threshold
amount is greater than your MAGI, no additional tax is due. If the
threshold amount is less than your MAGI, then compare the result of
that subtraction to your calculated net investment income. The smaller
amount of either your MAGI over the threshold or your net investment
income is then multiplied by 3.8%. This will be your net investment tax
added to the income tax return.
This tax is added to the return after certain credits are subtracted from
the return's taxable income therefore certain credits will not reduce the
amount owed. This tax is also subject to estimated tax payments,
therefore planning is required by the taxpayer in some circumstances
to either increase tax withholding from wages with a W4 or to make
quarterly estimated tax payments to offset a balance due.
NOTE: While we are on the subject of investment income, taxpayers
should be aware that the capital gains tax rates for long term gains and
qualied dividends will increase from 15% to 20% for individuals with
high incomes. The threshold where this increase will take place is at
$400,000 for single, $425,000 for head of household, $450,000 for
married ling joint or qualied widower and $225,000 for the married
ling single status.

Campbell Cougars Triumphant Over
Mascenic Vikings in Girls Basketball, 58-35
Lady Broncos Split on the Road
Junior guard Kylee Julia (23) starts the fast break for
Campbell as Mascenics Liz Martel gives chase.
by Phillip Nichols
The Campbell Cougars came onto their home court a heavy
favorite against the Mascenic Vikings on February 4; 11-1 versus
2-8.
Campbell opened the game with a zone press, while Mascenic
seemed content to play a basic zone defense. Campbells
swarming defense proved to be difcult for Mascenic to penetrate
in the rst quarter.
Led by the Cougars senior Alexandra Trevains eight points, the
Cougars got out to a 16-8 lead by the end of the rst quarter.
The second and third quarter, offensively, belonged to Campbell
as well. Freshman forward Hannah Fabiano scored 20 of her
game high 24 points in the second and third quarter.
Defensively, the Cougars played very well, only allowing a total
of 35 points to be scored against them in the game.
At times, it appeared that Mascenic had gured out the press
that was being applied and they were receiving instructions from
their coach. He could be heard telling his team to use back cuts
if the defender was overplaying them.
However, just as fast as he would adjust, Campbell would
re-adjust. This proved to be too much and Mascenic ended up
falling to Campbell by a nal score of 58-35.
With this victory, Campbell moved to 12-1 and remains at the
top of the standings for NHIAA in Division III.
by Sue LaRoche
Alvirne continued their winning ways with good teamwork
when they travelled to Timberlane on Friday, February 7 and
walked away with a 69-31 victory. Everyone on the Broncos
bench contributed to the victory with Brittney Lambert leading
the way with 15 points followed by Veronica Moceri with eight.
Marissa Sweeney, Emily Barry and Nicole Teague tallied seven
points apiece, followed by Tori LaRoche with six and Katie
Bellomo and Amanda Wetmore with ve each. Sandi Purcell
had four points. Sam Ratte and Jess Baker had two points each.
Venessa Jacques contributed one point. The only Bronco not
to score was sitting on the bench with an injury, junior Kaycee
Carbone.
Unfortunately for Alvirne, Trinity was not the same caliber of
team as Timberlane; they handed Alvirne a 66-55 defeat. Alvirne
found themselves down 19-12 at the end of the rst quarter, and
cut the lead to 33-27 at the half. Even though the Broncos never
had a lead in this contest they certainly made it interesting when
they tied the score at 39 with four minutes to play in the third
quarter. Unfortunately, they could not sustain the comeback and
fell to 51-44 after three quarters of play. The Broncos had to resort
to fouling the Pioneers in the nal quarter and they were up to the
task hitting 10 of 14 attempts to put this one away.
Veronica Moceri had the hot hand from behind the arc hitting
four three-point shots and leading the team with 16 points. Sandi
Purcell had 11 points followed by Kaycee Carbone, Brittney
Lambert and Tori LaRoche with six points each.
Kaycee Carbone also ripped down 14 boards
for Alvirne.
This loss brings the Broncos record to 8-4
in NHIAA Division I girls basketball and 10-5
overall. The Broncos will host Londonderry on
February 17. They will have their nal home
game of the season at the traditional senior
night tribute on Friday, February 21.

Cavaliers
in Exciting
Wrestling
Finish, 42-36
by Phillip Nichols
On February 6, the Campbell Cougars faced
a tough Hollis-Brookline wrestling team, but
managed to pull out the victory in the nal bout
of the day, when senior Connor Perry pinned
his opponent, giving the Cougars the victory.
Earlier in the meet, the Cougars trailed the
Cavaliers by a score of 24-6 until senior Keegan
Tanguay pinned his opponent, sparking a run
by Campbell, which culminated when senior
captain, Ben Billings and sophomore Tyler
McCrady both pinned their challengers to tie
the score 36-36, with just one bout left.
Campbells second senior captain, Connor
Perry, who earlier in the season proved his
dominance in the sport by capturing his 100th
win, stepped up in the 138 pounds division.
Perry defeated his opponent by pinning him
and giving Campbell the meet win, 42-36.

Alvirne Boys Hoops Trounces Timberlane
Number One Ranked Campbell Cougars Do Battle with the Raymond Rams
Junior guard, Kylee Julia (23) drives baseline against a Raymond defender.
by Phillip Nichols
On February 10, the Raymond Rams came into the Cougars Den
6-6 on the season to test their skills against the 13-1, number one
ranked Campbell Cougars in girls basketball action.
With a well balanced offense and strong defense, the Lady
Cougars jumped out to an early 10-1 lead and did not take their foot
off the pedal until the end of the third quarter, enjoying a 46-23 lead.
Although they only scored two points in the fourth quarter, the
Campbell defense held the Rams to only 10 points to solidify the
win, 48-33.
All of the Cougars contributed with Alexandra Trevains and
Hannah Neild leading the scoring with nine points each. Kylee
Julia nished with seven points. Three other members had four
points each, four people had two points each and Rebecca Landrau
nished with three points.
The Lady Cougars, now 14-1 and ranked number one in Division
III basketball for the state has three games remaining. Their last
opponent of the season will be against Bishop Brady on February 20,
at Bishop Brady.

Behind a well-rounded offensive showing that saw ten different
players make their way into the scoring column, the Broncos levied
a 79-48 thumping over the visiting Owls on Friday, February 7.
Senior Tyler Brown continued his recent scoring frenzy, leading the
Broncos with 23 points before becoming a permanent xture in the
cushioned chairs lining the AHS sideline. Also having a solid effort
was Jake Thyne who knocked down a pair of triples on his way to
pouring in all of his 15 points in the second half.
The lowly Owls limped into Bronco Nation, winless on the season
and in outright possession of last place in the D-I standings with a
record of 0-12. The Broncos burst out to a 6-0 in the games rst
70 seconds on baskets from Tyler Brown, Alex Wetmore and Danny
Brown after his steal ended in an uncontested lay in. Timberlane
staved-off the early Bronco onslaught by scoring eight of the next
11 points to narrow the decit to one, at 9-8, but thats as close as
the Owls would come. A Tyler
Brown base line drive coupled
with his triple from the right wing
late in the quarter gave Alvirne a
19-13 lead after one.
The Broncos slowly inched
away from their guests and with
1:30 left in the half, a T. Brown
offensive rebound put back off
his own miss gave his team its
biggest lead of the game at 31-
20. Just over one minute later,
D. Brown tickled the twine from
beyond the top of the key leading
to the Broncos 34-22 lead at the
intermission.
After Timberlane scored the
rst two points of the second
half, just 20 seconds in, Tommy
OHearn drained the rst of
his two trifectas on the night to
bump the Broncos lead to 37-
24. The lead expanded to 17
when Ryan Quinlans jumper
with 5:49 on the clock made the
score 43-26, forcing Owls head
coach Jeffrey Baumann to call a
time-out. What followed was more of the same as a T. Brown pull-
up, a D. Brown fast break lay-in, OHearns second triple, and a T.
Brown lay-in of his own culminated a 9-0 spurt that left the Broncos
in complete control. As a result, Baumann was asking for another
time-out as Alvirne had doubled-up the Owls, 52-26 with 3:43
remaining in the third.
The fourth quarter yielded some valuable playing time to many
players. Jake Thyne took complete advantage of his opportunity as
the 6 foot 4 inch senior drained a pair of trifectas; the rst of which
from in front of the student fan section brought his teammates out
of their chairs on the sideline in an eruption of approval. Also
contributing in the Broncos win that improved their season mark to
5-7 were: Danny Brown (7), Sam Bonney-Liles (7), Tommy OHearn
(6), Ryan Quinlan (6), along with Alex Wetmore and Tyler Janko with
ve apiece.
On Tuesday, February 10, the Broncos faced a tough task when
they hosted third place (10-1) Trinity.

Sunshine Lifts Broncos over Tomahawks on Senior Night
Alvirne wrestling team seniors Ethan Laroche (middle left)
and Shawyn Hebert with their respective moms on senior night
by Marc Ayotte
For a high school athlete, its always an emotional day when as
a senior your season runs down to the nal few games and you are
inevitably faced with participating in your last home contest. For
two Alvirne wrestlers, Shawyn Hebert and Ethan Laroche that day
came on Thursday, February 6, when the Broncos hosted Merrimack
in a dual meet.
Unfortunately for Hebert, he did not see any action on the mats,
but was active on the sidelines aiding in the Bronco cause. For
Laroche, it was especially exciting and rewarding as his electrifying
come from behind win proved to be a pivotal point in the Broncos
37-34 team win over the visiting Tomahawks.
The Division II match began rather ominously as Merrimack
grabbed a 6-0 lead after a forfeit at the beginning 106-weight class.
However, Alvirnes Taylor Thyne (113) made quick amends for that
scenario, taking a quick 2-0 lead as he proceeded to dominate the
action which culminated in a win by fall with just six ticks left in the
opening period, tying the score at six apiece.
Nick Milanazzo (120) added
to the Broncos season long
dominance in the lighter weight
classes, when he built upon a 4-0
lead midway through the second
period to post a 12-4 major
decision win, making the score
10-6 in favor of AHS. Getting the
start in the 126 division was Ben
Katsohis who responded nicely.
After falling behind 5-4 in the rst
period, Katsohis rebounded to
nish the rst two minutes with a
7-5 lead. He later jumped the lead
to 13-7 before recording a WBF at
3:39 of the match.
Chad Cunningham then made
it back to back pin wins for the
Broncos when he took his 4-3
lead after one period and worked
it into an 8-3 cushion before
registering a win by fall at 2:46 of
his 132 pound bout, giving Alvirne
a comfortable 22-6 advantage in the team scoring. After a decision
loss in the 138 division, John Plante put the Broncos back on
track; taking an early 2-0 lead and then pummeling his Tomahawk
opponent to the tune of a 12-4 lead before ultimately scoring a win
by fall with just 16 seconds left in the 145 match. After losing by
forfeit in the 160 division, the Broncos held a 28-16 lead; setting the
stage for the sun to shine.
In the 170 bout, senior Ethan Laroche trailed 2-0 before a late
second period take down of opponent Phoenyx Stopyra tied the
match at 2-all; prompting chants of Sunshine, Sunshine from the
adrenalized AHS student fan base. However, with just 43 seconds
remaining, Stopyra stopped Laroches momentum, recording a
takedown to grab a 4-2 lead.
But the Bronco senior had more left in the tank. With a pause in
the action with :24 showing on the clock, and Assistant Coach John
Mirabella imploring his wrestler to make a move, Sunshine rose
to the challenge. With a burst of energy, Laroche with 16 seconds
left, started his clutch reversal-near fall combination move worth
ve points that earned him a thrilling 7-4 decision. After the match,
Laroche recalled the nal seconds, saying; he (Mirabella) told me to
try a move and I did it and it worked out for the best. With a prior
loss to Stopyra at the Hollis-Brookline Noreaster, Laroche was ready
for some retribution; he beat me early in the season and I didnt
want him to win again. It feels good, Im excited to win on senior
day.
With what proved to be an impactful win in the team scoring,
the Broncos held a 31-16 lead as opposed to what looked to be a
slimmer 28-19 advantage had Laroche not rebounded for the win.
After a subsequent loss in the 182 division, making it 31-22, and
looking ahead to the remaining three matches, the Broncos needed a
minimum of a decision win to at least force a tie.
Up stepped Mr. Consistent to the mat, donning his newly acquired
striped purple and pink socks. Seemingly not ready to set the
fashion world on re, though proud of his garb, the Bronco who
owns his weight class in Division II wrestling came through with
an irrefutable performance; producing the decisive six team points
needed to cement the win. Evan Manning, after one of his patented,
thumping take downs, just 40 seconds into the match, needed only
18 more ticks of the clock to pin opponent Jason Theriault en route
to the 37-34 team win, evening Alvirnes divisional record at 4-4 on
the year.
Alvirne senior Ethan Laroche receives two points from the of cial for the reversal,
which led to his crucial, senior night 7-4 decision over Phoenyx Stopyra of Merrimack.

Broncos Hockey Makes Playoff Push
by Marc Ayotte
To say the Alvirne hockey team
is making a run to qualify for the
postseason might be a bit overly
optimistic. Nonetheless, they continue
to nudge their way into the playoff
picture, and given the dubious start
to the season which saw the Broncos
open up with a three-game skid while
losing ve of its rst six games, things
are looking much more promising.
Since their 1-5 beginning, the
Broncos have been playing well,
going .500 over the ensuing six games
and nding themselves at 4-8 on the
year; just one game out of the last
playoff spot with six games left on the
schedule.
Key in the Broncos move in the
standings has been the emergence of
an offense that appears to be ring
on all cylinders, paced by the goal
scoring prowess of Christian Gamst,
Trevor Perron and Cam Blake. After an
anemic start which reected Alvirne
scoring a combined one goal in the
rst three contests, the Broncos
have lit the lamp a total of 21 times
in its four wins.
Most recently, it was Cam
Blakes hat trick performance that
led to the Broncos 7-5 shootout
win at Somersworth/Coe-Brown
on February 6. In a statistical
anomaly, and as Assistant Coach
Rich Nolan indicated: We came
back from one goal down, ve
separate times. The rst of their
game-lled, mini comebacks
was on Blakes rst goal of the
evening, scoring with 6:52 left
in the opening frame on an assist
from Dan Wholey to make it 1-1.
Blake then notched his second
of the period at the 11:08 mark,
again from Wholey, but this time
knotting the score at two apiece
as the teams made way for the
Zambonis rst appearance.
In the middle period, the Broncos
trailed 3-2 and 4-3 before goals from
Trevor Perron (Cameron Richall,
DeVito) and Richall (Blake, Deving
Herling), respectively, ultimately tied
the score at 4-4, heading into the nal
15 minutes of regulation.
One again, the home team Bearcats
took a one goal lead to start the period
but 4:18 in, Perron recorded his second
tally of the game on an assist from
Matt Lubinski, tying things up at 5-all.
After each team skated for the next 10
minutes without any more activity on
the scoreboard, the Broncos nally
broke through for its rst lead of the
game. With 4:43 remaining, DeVito
(Perron, C. Gamst) scored the eventual
game winner just 13 seconds after
a Broncos power play had expired,
giving AHS its rst lead of the game,
at 6-5. We had been peppering
them almost the entire power play,
recounted Nolan.
Then with :18 showing on the clock,
Blake nished-off his bookend hat
trick by scoring the last goal of the
game, an empty netter with the assists
going to Cam Richall and Perron.
After the game, the team awarded
the game hat to Dan Wholey which
is customarily worn to school on the
following day. He played a very good
game, observed Nolan, who noted a
short bench as the reason for Wholey
seeing more ice. He was moved up
to a bigger position with more playing
time and he responded, offered the
Broncos Assistant Coach. Curtis
Richall picked up his fourth win of the
year between the pipes, recording 31
saves.
The Broncos closed out the week
with a 5-2 loss against the Wolfpack
at the Salem Icenter. Trailing 1-0 after
one, the Pack started to pull away with
a pair of second period goals to make
it 3-0 heading into the nal frame.
We were still digging down, recalled
Nolan, adding; The team never gave
up.
A pair of early period power play
opportunities on which they cashed
in aided their persistence. Just 38
seconds into a Dustin Lubinger penalty,
Cam Blake put the Broncos on the
board when his shot found the back of
the net over the shoulder of Pack goalie
Mike Donovan. Sixty-four seconds
later, with Lubinger back in the sin
bin, Alvirne capitalized on the man-up
situation when Trevor Perron brought
his team within a goal at 3-2, just 2:08
into the period.
The turning point in the game came
two minutes later when Christian
Gamst skated in alone from center
ice but an aggressive and spectacular
poke check from Donovan thwarted
the high scoring Broncos bid to tie
the score. In the ensuing four minutes
of play, Lubinger atoned for his costly
infractions by scoring twice; leading to
his hat trick and a Wolfpack 5-2 win.
