First Baptist Churchs Trunk or Treat Offers a Safe, Fun Alternative

The First Baptist Churchs Trunk or Treat on Friday the 31st served as a safe, fun way for the kids to
replace or even kick off their impending door-to-door adventure known as Halloween. There was
a slight chill in the air that night, but after last years event was hampered by rain, churchgoers and
Hudson residents alike seemed to have no problem as they warmed up with free hot cocoa.
Festively decorated cars, vans, and SUVs were parked along the perimeter of the church parking
lot. Equipped with either plastic jack-o-lantern pails or the age-old pillow case bag, the children
enjoyed their share of the abundant candy snacks provided by the enthusiastic vehicle decorators.
The Trunk or Treat definitely provided the attending children with plenty of excitement even for
those who decided to forego the door-to-door tradition later that night. The church also catered
refreshments for the parents and children such as hot dogs, popcorn, chips, hot cocoa
and soda.
After speaking with Terry Monstrom (a mother and member of the
church for over 30 years) about the safety concerns of Halloween night,
she said, We just wanted to let the community know that this is a fun
place to come that is safe. As for the children, it was a fun way to
get twice as much candy with a lot less walking.

Groundwork for Hudson FY16 Budget is Set

by Len Lathrop
Over the past several weeks, both elected groups of Hudson,
the selectmen and the school board, have been meeting with the
town employees who head departments or manage a school as
principal.
Before going over the details, lets review the process.
Department heads and principals, with the help of their senior
staff members, have presented what they believe they need to
run their school or department from July 1, 2015, to June 30,
2016, known as the Fiscal Year 16 budget. Their instruction
from both elected teams was about the same: tell us what you
need for this next fiscal year. Generally, the budgets had been
held to a 1 percent or maybe a 2 percent increase, and, in many
previous years, there has been no increase at all.
Just a little more history before the numbers. The next step
is to go to the Hudson Budget Committee, also elected leaders,
who evaluate both budgets; it truly becomes their budget.
Next, the selectmen and school board can change anything.
Well, they can ask the budget committee to change something,
which they can choose to do or not do. The budget committee
then will bring the budget to the residents at the deliberative
sessions in early February, where the will of those attending
those meetings can amend monetary amounts or the wording of
what are, at this point, known as warrant articles. Finally, the
deliberative body sends everything to the March election for the
peoples consideration.
Confused? Thats ok. Just remember the word change. If
after you finish reading the numbers part of this story and dont
agree, you have to affect change. If you agree that these budgets
are how you want tax dollars spend, then you dont have to
affect change, but should still keep your eye on the bottom line.
The sooner change happens, if that is your goal, the easier it is.
Visit a budget committee meeting and offer your thoughts, go to
deliberative and share your views, and, of course, always vote.
Lets start with the Hudson School District budget. Going to
the budget committee is an operating budget for $50,380,013
for FY16. The current years budget approved last March is
$48,911,194. This is a 3 percent increase; the taxpayers are
responsible to fund only $47,393,530. This $1,488,855 increase
from last year is a 3.24 percent difference. The school districts
finance director reports this means about a $1 increase on tax
bills just on the school side. That equates to $256 more per year
Announcement:
for the average Hudson homeowner.

In addition, there are three employment contracts:
PSRP union which represents part-time LPN, part-time
paraprofessionals and cafeteria workers; AFSCME who are the
leadership teams in each school; and the secretarial union.
These contracts will affect the tax rate if passed. Also projected
to be on the ballot are several questions that wont impact the
tax rate, as well as one still-to-be-defined question about a
new track and artificial field playing surface being proposed for
Alvirne stadium.
On the town ballot, the budget for FY16 includes three
areas: operations, sewer utility and the water department.
The operating budget for FY16 is $24,411,456, a $1,081,810
increase from this years budget of $23,329,646; sewer is down
$68,169 to $1,581,206 from $1,649,375; and the water utility is
also down $383,666 from $3,800,846 in FY 15 to $3,417,180
for FY 16, which sounds great but doesnt impact the tax rate.
Both water and sewer are solely funded from user rate fees.
Meanwhile, ten other warrants are on the ballot, but not all
have a tax rate effect. The ones that do include a salary increase
for the town clerk (a elected position) of $1,280; first-year bond
payment of $74,600 on a 2 million dollar bond for a new fire
station on Lowell Road; and a wage increase for non-union
library employees of $15,397, a 3.5 percent increase. A request
will be on the ballot to place $200,000 in a capital reverse fund
for new dispatch consoles at both the police and fire station;
estimates for this replacement equipment are from $315,000 to
$425,000. These warrants, in addition to the three operating
budgets, would result in an 11 cent rate increase.
A bulleted list (see below) shows the breakdown. Remember
that everything must be approved by the budget committee, then
at the town and school deliberate meetings, and on the final
ballot in early March. All warrants (which affect tax rate) would
be effective on July 1, 2015.
The FY16 requests are as follows:
School District budget: $50,380,013 - $1 impact
School District - other warrants: unknown as stadium
numbers and contract costs not determined
Town budget - General Funds: $24,411,456 - 9 cent
impact
Town (other warrants): $291,277 - 11 cent impact

Hudson Selectmen
to Sell over
$1 Million Worth
of Town Properties
by Len Lathrop
At the direction of Hudson Selectmen, the proceeds from
the sales of 18 town-owned properties will be used for
infrastructure repairs in the town. Shortly after the last town
election, last March, selectmen ask for a list of tax-deeded
properties that have been owned by the town for three years or
longer.
Based on the recommendation of Town Administrator
Steve Malizia, bids will be solicited from licensed real estate
professionals to sell the lots.
The assessed value of the properties totals $1.4821 million.
The properties are 14 Adams Drive, 4 Hopkins Drive, 15 Forrest
Road, 8 Alvirne Drive, 17 Federal Street, 19 Merrimack Street,
11 Summer Avenue, 8 Cliff Avenue, 6 A-B Catalpa Drive, 15
Hurley Street, Riverview Street Lot 190-094, 5R D Street, 2
Merrill Street, Birch Street Map 197-157, 20 Musquash Road, 4
Chestnut Street, 3 Chestnut Street, and 17R Eayes Pond Road.
The smallest parcel is 0.29 acres and the largest is 51.953
acres at 20 Musquash Road. The town has owned most of the
properties since the 80s and 90s with one dating back to May
of 1975. The most recent on this list is from June of 2011.
Also discussed Tuesday was the Hills Memorial Library
property, with Selectman Ben Nadeau making a motion to
include it on the list. The motion did not get a second, as
several selectmen want legal opinion about selling the old
library or having to return it to the heirs. Nadeau stated that it
is costing taxpayers well over 20 grand a year from funds in the
Rodgers Library budget and the school district budget.
Hudson trash removal next week will be unaffected by the Veterans Day holiday.

Alvirne High Schools Air Force JROTC cadets conducted a retreat
ceremony on Friday, Oct. 24, in front of the high school building. The
retreat ceremony holds many significant purposes. It marks the end
of the duty day. It also provides an opportunity for military members
to pay respect to the flag. It is a tradition that is upheld every day at
military installations around the world. A retreat is usually handled
by a small detail of military personnel, but on this day all 130 JROTC
cadets participated in the ceremony. The purpose of the Air Force
JROTC program is to develop citizens of character dedicated to
serving their nation and community.

Remember when all services of the U.S. Post Office in Hudson
were located in a single building located at the corner of Derry
and Highland streets? By the late 1950s growth of the town was
reflected in the increased demands on postal services; revenues
had increased from $10,000 in 1949 to $39,000 in 1959. This
building on 15 Derry Street was dedicated as the new U.S. Post
Office in Hudson on March 28, 1959. Those serving as postmaster

Remembering a Young Girl who Touched the Hearts of so Many

Family, friends and community members gathered at St. Kathryn Church in Hudson.
by Laurie Jasper
Family, friends and community members
gathered at St. Kathryn Church in Hudson on a
cold, rainy November First to honor the life of
13-year-old McKenzie Lowe, the beloved daughter
of Ron and Dianne Lowe. McKenzie died on Oct.
24 after a 23-month battle with Diffuse Intrinsic
Pontine Glioma. St. Kathryn Church and Transept
Chapel were filled, with standing room only, at
the service of remembrance, as approximately

1,000 people celebrated the gift of McKenzie
Lowe. Among the crowd: McKenzies Girl Scout
Troop 10024 members and leaders; classmates
from school; many teachers and staff from Hills
Garrison School and Memorial School; town
and school officials including Superintendent of
Schools Bryan Lane and Senator Kelly Ayotte.
In addition, McKenzies beloved little dog,
Marshmallow, was there, and
her horse, Star, had a place of
honor just outside the church.
Reverend John Clarke,
Dianne Lowes uncle, presided
at the service. Reverend Joseph
Cooper, Pastor of St. Kathryns,
played the organ and led the
hymns.
We are here to mourn and
to celebrate a beautiful child of
God - McKenzie. She brought
joy into all your lives. We
are sad, of course, but we are
better people for having known
her, said Reverend Clarke.
Her friends stood by her;
theres nothing more important.
She gave the gift of doing

because it is the right thing
to do. She inspired you! Treasure those special
moments, Reverend Clarke said. He continued,
Dont let the time she was ill define who she
was; she didnt allow it to define her. Cancer
didnt make McKenzie a good person; she was a
good person.
The reverend offered this in his concluding
remarks: To love another person is to see the
face of God. In McKenzie, you got a glimpse of
God. Thats a wonderful gift.
Family friend Kim Frenette shared her
connection to McKenzie in a heartfelt message
to the crowd. I first heard of McKenzie Lowe in
December 2012, right after she was diagnosed
with DIPG brain cancer.
I, like many others, wanted to do something
nice for her and her family. So, upon offering
to do a horse-drawn carriage ride I learned that
McKenzie loved horses and had always wanted
one. But, with a prognosis of only nine to 12
months to live, I knew we had to get her one
soon. But not just any horse. This horse needed
to be extra special. So we got on a rescue site
and found a horse that is called a Medicine Hat
horse. The Indians believe these horses possess

Preschoolers Celebrate Halloween

submitted by Teresa Morgan
The preschool students at
Library Street School had tons
of fun celebrating Halloween
on Oct. 30. The staff and
students paraded on School
Street, and then students, staff,
and parents gathered in the
gym to celebrate with cookie
and pumpkin decorating.

Through fundraising efforts, the horse was saved

and given to McKenzie as a Christmas present.
McKenzie named her Star. As Kim recalled, both
McKenzie and Star were weak and sick, but they
each got better and bonded. McKenzie learned to
ride and entered a horse show. Star will always
be a special horse that was saved by a special
little girl, said Kim.
The first thing I remember noticing about her
(McKenzie) was how gentle, compassionate,
caring and kind she was towards everyone and
everything. Could this girl be for real? I thought,
and then I got to know her much better and I saw

her competitive, determined never-quit attitude. I
believe I speak for all of us when I say McKenzie
Robin Lowe, you touched my heart. You will live
on in the hearts of all you have touched. Until we
meet again, baby girl, ride like the wind and fly
high.
The family of McKenzie Lowe has requested
that homes and businesses light a candle in
the window for the month of November in her
memory.

Letters to our Editor
I Apologize
I want to apologize to everyone who has tried to call
the Highway Department this week. Through no fault
of ours, all of our phone lines have not been working
since sometime over this past weekend. Unfortunately,
we cannot get the issue resolved with the phone
company and I have no idea when service will be
restored. We are open for walk-ins as usual. If you have
an emergency, please contact the Police Department and
they will be able to reach us.
We always get numerous trash/recycling calls
around the weeks with holidays so I want to take this
opportunity to tell everyone trash and recycling is
on the regular schedule next week. There is no delay
pickup for Veterans Day.
Thank you for your understanding.
Kevin Burns, Road Agent, Hudson
Representative-Elect Byron
Recognizes Trust of Supporters
I wish to thank the citizens of Litchfield who
supported my successful candidacy for Litchfields State
Representative. I am honored that you have placed this
trust in me and will continue to work on your behalf in
Concord,
Over the next two years the legislature will be faced
with many difficult decisions on a number of issues. I
wish to continue hearing your thoughts as these matters
come before us in Concord. As I did during the last
biennium, I will respond to your requests and concerns.
Please contact me via e-mail at frankstaterep@gmail.
com or via phone at 889-7424. I look forward to
serving and working with you.
Have you Heard about the

Requested Gun Range?
I was hoping that you might be able to help me with
a situation that is being kept very quiet on the Hudson/
Pelham/Windham town lines. Recently a group called
TAG has submitted a request to open an outdoor
tactical gun range less than 500 feet away from densely
populated residential neighborhoods in all three towns.
A Planning Board meeting was held on November 3 in
Pelham to discuss the proposal.
My land is abutting the gun range so I received a
certified letter stating that I was invited to attend. I
was surprised to find that only six people were there to
speak out against the location of this unregulated gun
range in a residential neighborhood. We later found
out we were the only ones contacted because our land
was touching the proposed site. This leaves thousands
of residents unaware of this proposed site yet they will
have to endure the negative aspects that comes along
with this range such as a sharp decrease in property
value, constant noise from guns being fired all day long,
and most importantly the possibility of bullets leaving
this unregulated gun range.
As a father of a 15 month old, I enjoy playing in
my front yard with my son. This spot will be only a
few hundred yards from the proposed site. My main
goal is to make residents aware and to encourage them
to have their voices heard at a peaceful protest being
held on Saturday, November 8, at 10 a.m. at the base
of the proposed site located at 41 Industrial Park Drive
in Pelham. The Pelham Planning Committee will be
visiting the site at 10:45 for a walk through of the site at
the time of the protest.
Thanks for your help.
my vote for our state and national elections, I am

encouraged by the number of citizens who vote. Then,
the following March when I go to the polls to cast my
vote in the local election, it disappoints me how few
people participate.
When one asks someone else why they decided to
move into a particular town, usually at or near the top
of the list are education and/or town services. The
custodians of the costs associated with these services are
the town officials, budget committees and school board,
yet the percentage of registered voters who come out
to vote for these offices and the associated budgets that
directly affect their property taxes, the education that
their children receive and the services that they receive
are so low as to be embarrassing.
Can we blame the plethora of ads that we are
bombarded with that draws out the voters in November
and not in March? Its probably a factor, but ultimately
the responsibility rests with us, the voters, most of
whom cant take a little time educating ourselves about
the local issues and a few minutes out of our day once
a year to be citizens of our community and make a
difference. One vote in a local election counts much
more than one vote in a national election.
So no matter how much volunteer work you do or
other community involvement in which you partake,
if you do nothing else each March, come out and vote
for your local leaders and the budgets that directly affect
you every day. National elections help set the direction
of our nation and are vitally important, but local
elections are just as important and deserve the same
level of attention by the citizens of our community.
See you at the polls in March!

Id especially like to thank those of you who voted
for me. Because of your votes, I will once again serve
as one of your State Representatives. It has always been
my goal to represent everyone who lives in my district.
There are many faces each of us personally and I know
that there are also many issues facing the state where we
have chosen to live.
Please let me know your thoughts on issues and
let me know if you have any questions or if you need
information that I can provide for you. My e-mail
address is Lynne.Ober@comcast.net
Again, thank you for your vote. I will hard to

Welcoming Input
from Constituents
Id like to thank everyone who voted for me in
Tuesdays election. It has been my honor to serve as
one of your State Representatives and I look forward to
serving you for another two years.
As legislation is filed in the state, many of you will
have questions or opinions. Please contact me with
your thoughts because I can best represent you if I
know your opinions. Many bills filed will go through
numerous modifications until a vote is finally taken on
each one. When I hear from constituents about bills
facing the legislature, I can help craft some of those
modifications so that bills passed will have a positive
impact on those living in our state.
My e-mail is thud007@hotmail.com. People often
ask me the genesis of that e-mail address. When I was
in the Air Force, I flew in an F105, which was known
as a thud. This airplane was a 2-seater fighter and 007
was the tail number of the plane that Murray Denton

Again, thank you for your vote.

Fewer Students should Mean Lower School District Budgets

Did you see the recent Telegraph article that calculated school
enrollments for school districts in New Hampshire as of October 1,
2014, and then calculated the percentage of pupil loss for one year
and then five years?
According to their calculations, Hudson lost 5 percent of its
elementary population, 5.4 percent of its middle school population
and 5.9 percent of its high school population over last years
enrollments. Over the previous five years, Hudson has lost 13

percent of its elementary, 10

percent of its middle school and
8.8 percent of its high school
populations.
If one looks further back into
history in Hudson, one sees that
the highest pupil enrollment
was in the late 1990s and that
the overall pupil enrollment has
been shrinking for more than just
the last five years.
With shrinking elementary school populations, the shrinking
of middle school and high school populations will continue.
Additionally, across New Hampshire, birth rates continue to decline,
so there is no huge bubble to increase school populations.
And yet, the school districts budget continues to grow and staff
requests continue to grow. By this time, taxpayers should see
a decline in staffing requests. At the very least, staff should be
Editorial
transferred from one position to another rather

than hiring additional people and yet that isnt
happening. Why not?
Fewer students should result in fewer staff,
but that is not occurring under the current
administration. In last Marchs election the
school board budget was passed and contracts
were approved; yet 36 teachers and staff left the
district. The average yearly turnover has been
about 20 employees. Another why? With the
FY16 budget going to the budget committee over $50 million, is the
school board concerned?
Draw your own conclusion.
Look for over a dollar increase
next year on top of the 32
cent increase for FY15. Tax
bills will be in our mailboxes
by this weekend.

Dr. Paul O. Johnson
Dr. Paul O. Johnson, 88,

of Salem, died October 23,
2014, at Holy Family Hospital,
Methuen, MA. Dr. Johnson
was born in Charlestown, NH,
the son of the late Georgianna
(Poisson) and Otis Johnson.
He served in the Navy at
Pearl Harbor during World
War II. Dr. Johnson earned
his masters degree from Rivier
College and his Doctorate from
Boston University. He began his
career in education as a teacher
at Alvirne High School in Hudson, later becoming
principal of Somersworth High School, then in
1962 he became principal of Woodbury High

School. Dr. Johnson immediately campaigned
for a new high school and in 1965, the town
voted to build the school. He not only wrote
the educational specifications but he worked
directly with the architects. Far ahead of its time,
the high school included a television studio and
planetarium that served the community as well as
the students. Dr. Johnson served as principal of
the new Salem High School for one year before
being selected as Assistant Superintendent for
School Administrative Unit 55. Six months later,
he became the first Superintendent of Schools for
the new School Administrative Unit 57, Salem.
He served for more than 20 years, retiring in
1989. During his tenure as Superintendent,
he added a library wing to the high school, a
Mary (McCarthy) Burke

Mary G. (McCarthy) Burke, 79 of Boonville,
NY, formerly of Hudson, peacefully passed
away on October 28, 2014, after a brief illness.
Predeceased by her husband of 51 years, Roy,
Mary is survived by their eight children; Sheila
(Robert) Blackburn, Jeffrey (Linda), Timothy (Janet),
Teresa (Ned) Crowley, Kathleen (Bob) Harris,
Laura Montville, Frances (Leonard) Greenwood
and Susan (Richard Labrie), as well as 17
grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren, her sister
Carole Van Name and many nieces, nephews and
beloved friends.
For over 60 years she was a Mom, wife and
homemaker. During that time she also found great
satisfaction outside the home. For many years she
was employed in the electronics industry doing
assembly, test and repair work. She was an active
member of the local Red Hats and other senior
citizens clubs. She enjoyed travel and spending

time with her large family. A 40-year resident of
Hudson, she remained an avid fan of the Boston
Red Sox and the New England Patriots and passed
that legacy on through her enthusiasm and
enjoyment of many games throughout the years.
Mary will be missed greatly and remembered
fondly by many people.
She was also preceded in death by her parents,
Eugene and Frances McCarthy, brother, Richard
McCarthy and sisters, Katherine Binkley and
Jeanne Doherty.
The family has chosen to keep remembrances
private with an online memory page available at
www.millsfuneralhomes.com.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made
in memory of Mary to the National Autism
Association.
gymnasium that was the envy of administrators

throughout the state and he built a 52,000 square
foot addition to house the Career and Technical
Education Center in addition to three new
elementary schools and a substantial addition to
the Woodbury School. He laid the foundation
for many of Salems most successful and long
lasting programs and student opportunities. In
1974, he began the first Adult Basic Education
program that offered opportunities to children
and adults alike and integrated in-district special
education services for students previously served
in programs outside the school district.
Dr. Johnson served as President of the NH
School Administrators Association, the President
of the NH Interscholastic Athletic Association,
and served on several committees of both
organizations. He was a member of the New
England School Development Council and was
a member of the New England Association of
School Superintendents. He was a member of the
Kiwanis, a Key Club advisor, a Boy Scout advisor
and he was on the Board of Directors of NH Red

Healthy Eating Wins

Hudson Family $1,000
by Doug Robinson
According to Karen Crawford of Hudson, Its all about eating healthy.
She first saw the Lunchbox Notes contest as a sponsored link, from
Welchs Fruit Snacks, on her Facebook page. The contest encouraged parents
to submit images of the inspirational, funny and heart-warming notes that
they included in their kids lunchboxes, alongside their favorite variety
of Welchs Fruit Snacks, according to Welchs Public Relations Account
Executive Mike Vizza.
As the grand prize winner of the nationwide contest, Karen received a
check for $1,000, a one-year supply of Welchs Fruit Snacks, a Welchs brand
deluxe lunchbox for YUBO, a set of YUBO medium-sized food containers,
and a matching drink holder.
Eating healthy is very important, continued Karen. As a lunch monitor, I
see a lot of lunches. When I make his (her son Charlies) lunch, I make them
in small portions so it looks appealing too.

door by the boys of Pack 252. These hangers were left to let local
residents know the boys of Pack 252 will return on Saturday, Nov.
8, to collect canned and non-perishable food items as part of the
Daniel Webster Councils yearly Scouting for Food Drive.
Items collected from the Scouting for Food Drive will go to
150 food pantries, kitchens and closets across the State of New
Hampshire. It is estimated nearly one third of those served by
local food banks are children. Participating in Scouting for Food
gives the boys of Pack 252 a chance to help those in need, learning

On Oct. 26, at approximately 2:01 a.m., Hudson police officers
responded to the area of River Road near Eayers Pond Road for a
single motor vehicle collision. Upon arrival, it was discovered that
the vehicle, a 2010 Toyota Corolla, had crashed into a telephone
pole. The driver had abandoned the vehicle. Officers from the
Tyngsborough (Mass.) Police Department found the driver in their
jurisdiction on Frost Road. The driver was identified as Amanda
Aufiero, 24, Billerica, Mass.
Employees from Public Service of New Hampshire responded
to the scene and determined that the telephone pole needed to be
replaced. There were no power outages reported as a result of this
collision.
An investigation into this collision has been initiated and, as of
this writing, no charges have been filed against Aufiero. The cause
of the collision is also under investigation.

A Crazy Night to Remember

Fifth graders go to first LMS Halloween dance
Minions mingle with monsters.

submitted by Victoria Fluett, Fifth Grade, Litcheld Middle School
On Oct. 24, Litchfield Middle School students celebrated
Halloween, gathering in the cafeteria to dance, talk, and share
memories. A disc jockey took requests and taught the students two
dances. Popcorn, pizza and Gross Kitty Litter and Worms in Dirt
Lots of dancing fun
Girls check out the Gross Kitty Litter and Worms in Dirt Cakes.
Cake were given out.

Most people wore their crazy Halloween costumes. During the
dancing, they competed in a limbo contest. People could play a
game of topple the toilet paper for candy prizes. They could also get
their faces painted, get a temporary tattoo or gross themselves out
at a Gross Table, guessing what felt like Flattened Snakes, Slimy

Tongues or Frogs Toes. The dance went from 6 to 8 p.m. and was

A Sign of the Times: Explaining Sign Usage in Hudson

submitted by David S. Morin, HFD Public Information Liaison
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign, blocking out the scenery, breakin
my mind ... This song from the 70s might sum up the issues of
signs not only in Hudson, but just about every community.
The Town of Hudson transferred the zoning, code enforcement

installed in your home for
and health divisions to the Hudson Fire Department under the

direction of Fire Chief Robert Buxton in August of this year. Much
like the transfer of the Hudson Building Department in August
of 2013, this division has been tasked with reviewing codes and
ordinances that are currently in place. This task includes enforcing
the currently adopted codes in a fair, consistent and equitable
manner.
The Town of Hudson Town Code 334-57 is rather comprehensive
and clear in its intent and application.
334-57 Purpose
The purpose of this article is to encourage the effective use
of signage to direct movement, advertise and inform the public
while protecting public safety, preserving neighborhood character,
aesthetics and minimizing clutter.
The Plan
The Hudson Fire Department has been cognizant of the sign
issue since assuming these responsibilities. With the addition of a
full-time zoning administrator, an educational campaign has been
formulated to educate and raise awareness of the sign ordinance.
It is important to note that education is an important part of
enforcement. Numerous signs in town do not meet the requirements

Hudson Man Charged with DWI

after Car Accident
submitted by Hudson Police Department
On Oct. 26, at about 12:24 a.m., officers from the Hudson Police and Fire departments responded to
the area of Derry Road south of West Road for a single-vehicle motor vehicle collision. Upon arrival, the
officers learned that the vehicle, a blue 2003 Ford Mustang, had gone off the road and collided into a
steep embankment. The vehicle was traveling north on Derry Road prior to the collision. The driver lost
control of the vehicle, crossed the double yellow line and went into the south bound travel lane of Derry
Road before crashing into the embankment. The airbags were deployed as a result of the collision.
The driver was identified as Ryan Pesce, 21, of Litchfield. Pesce sustained apparent minor injury but
refused transport to an area hospital for evaluation. A 16-year-old passenger was in the vehicle as well
and was uninjured.
Pesce was subsequently taken into custody for Driving While Intoxicated. Pesce refused bail and was
transported to the Hillsborough County House of Correction. Pesce was scheduled for arraignment at the
Nashua 9th Circuit Court on Oct. 27.

Did you know?

The origins of Veterans Day can be traced to the ending of
World War I nearly a century ago. Known at the time as The
Great War, World War I officially ended on June 28, 1919 with
the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in France. But the fighting had actually ended seven months earlier when an armistice
between the Allies and Germany went into effect on November
11, 1918. The following November United States President
Woodrow Wilson declared November 11 Armistice Day in
honor of the cessation of the hostilities, and the day became a
federal holiday in 1938. That act was amended in 1954 after
veterans service organizations, in recognition of the efforts
of soldiers who fought in World War II, asked that the day be
renamed Veterans Day so it honored all soldiers and not just
those who fought in World War I.

Pregnancy&OralHealth
Pregnancy is a
very
important
time for a
woman to
pay
particular
attention to
her oral
health. Not only can she
prevent oral problems during
pregnancy, but she can also
help determine the dental
health for her unborn child.
For this reason she should be
mindful of her eating habits,
oral hygiene practices, and
professional dental care
needs.
The mother's nutritional
status plays an important role
to the development of the
unborn child's teeth. The
child's teeth begin to calcify
between the third and sixth
months of pregnancy. It is,
therefore, essential that the
mother receive adequate

amounts of nutrients, since
deficiencies may result in
abnormal tooth formation.
Especially important are
vitamins A,D,C, protein,
calcium, and phosphorus.
Eating a well balanced diet
will usually provide the
necessary amounts of nutrients
to nourish both mother and
child. During pregnancy
many women have a desire to
eat between meals. Foods
generally selected are rich
fermentable carbohydrates
(starches and sugars). This
habit can be harmful to
dental health and is an
invitation to tooth decay. The
best advice is to avoid eating
between meals. For snacks it is
best to select foods that
contain little or no
fermentable carbohydrates,
but do contain nutrients to
meet the needs of the mother
and unborn child.

Hilltoppers End Season
for CHS Boys Soccer
submitted by Bob Gannon, Campbell Boys Soccer
Varsity Soccer: Campbell 3 (10-6-2),
Fall Mountain 2 (12-4-1)
The 13th-seeded Campbell boys varsity Soccer team
defeated 5th-seeded Fall Mountain in the second round
of the Division III state tournament, by a score of 3-2.
The game took more than 100 minutes to complete, after
playing two overtime periods with the score still tied at
2. As a result, the teams went into penalty kicks to decide
the outcome. Campbell won the toss and chose to shoot
second. In the end, Campbell scored on each of their
first four shots, while Fall Mountain was only able to net
two. Goalkeeper Matt Gagne made a tremendous save
on Fall Mountains third shot. Campbells shooters were
Luis Costillo, Ben LaBatt, Zach Perault, and Christian
Wallenmaier. Scoring in regulation for the Cougars were
Kyle Shaw and Nick Covert. The Cougars then traveled
to Somersworth on Nov. 1 to take on the Hilltoppers at 2
p.m.
Goals:
First Half: Kyle Shaw - (Kevin Robinson) 4:32,
Nick Covert (Wallenmaier and Furlong) 38:34,
Ken Bushway (Fall Mountain) 39:24
Second Half: Andrew Mitchell (Fall Mountain)
16:38
Saves: Matt Gagne (Campbell) six saves on 10 shots,
Tom Surbar (Fall Mountain) four on 11 shots
Saturdays summary:
Three games in five days was just too much for the
Campbell boys varsity Soccer team. On Saturday, the
Cougars traveled to Somersworth to play the Hilltoppers in
the quarterfinal round of the Division III state tournament.
In the cold and wet weather, the Cougars were unable to
get an attack going and played to a 0-0 tie through the first
half. But, in the second half, playing three games in five
days took its toll, and the Cougars heavy legs were unable
to keep Somersworth from scoring. In the end, the Cougar
boys fell by a score of 3 to 0.

submitted by Catriona and Corinne Chew,
LMS Students
This year Litchfield Middle School Cross Country runners
worked very hard after school practicing for their meets. They
had nine home and away meets finishing with the tri-County
and state meets. The tri-county was particularly successful
as the girls team took first place and the boys finished in
second. States also had wonderful results. Out of 42 schools,
Litchfield girls took sixth, while the boys came in eighth.
Everyone did well and we were all very happy. We would
like to thank our coaches for all their time and commitment
to our team.

LoVerde Proud to Wear the C for Monarchs this Season
submitted by Dan Ventresca

If you ask Vincent LoVerde whether he considered being named
captain of the Manchester Monarchs this season, he answers with a
swift no.
But then he catches himself in a lie.
I take that back, LoVerde said. It crossed my mind a little bit.
A 25-year-old defenseman out of Miami University in Ohio,
LoVerde was named the 11th captain in the 14-year history of the
Monarchs. He takes over the captaincy from fellow blue-liner
Andrew Campbell, who played in Manchester for parts of six
seasons.
Campbell received Manchesters Community Service Award in
each of the last three seasons before signing as a free agent with the
Arizona Coyotes. He returned to Manchester for the first time as a
visitor last Friday when the Portland Pirates came to town.
Soupy was a great leader, LoVerde said. I learned a lot from
him throughout my two years with him and before him it was MarcAndre Clich, who I also learned a lot from. You kind of learn stuff
from them, but at the same time, you cant try to be someone else.
Youve got to be who you are. But throughout the years, youll pick
up a thing or two that works well.
The Monarchs came into the season with a new head coach in
Mike Stothers
and a roster
that featured
seven rookies.
To decide
who would
captain his
team, Stothers
gathered
a group of
returning
players for
a series of
meetings that
led him to
name LoVerde
the captain.
Being named
captain of a
professional hockey team is a role completely unique to the sport.
You are part spokesman, politician, older brother and disciplinarian
for the club. Its a responsibility that LoVerde called a privilege and
an honor.
Youre kind of the voice of the team, but at the same time, I ask
my assistant captains a lot of questions, he said. They help me
a lot and youre just kind of relaying messages back and forth. In
terms of responsibilities, I think obviously theres some stuff thats
tough to do or you have to have some tough conversations. But
part of the responsibility of being captain is having those tough
conversations sometimes.
A native of Chicago, LoVerde has posted a combined plus/minus
rating of plus-54 since his debut with the Monarchs during the 20122013 season. He already has a goal and an assist in the first five
games of this year. Hes established himself as a leader on the ice,
so now he feels comfortable taking on a leadership role in the locker
room.
Youve just got to be yourself, he said. Be who are and not try
to change who you are.
The job description of captain also includes bargaining with the
referees, staying as diplomatic as possible when arguing a call. So
hows the relationship with the refs?
I dont know, LoVerde said with a laugh. I guess youd have to
ask them.

The Campbell girls Volleyball team continued its championship

Broncos See Red after Quarterfinals Loss
Staff photos by Marc Ayotte
Alvirnes Raul Stedile (#11) side-steps an Astro defender
during the game at Rivier University.
Nate Gosselin (#13) scores Alvirnes lone goal in the

2-1 quarterfinal loss to Pinkerton.
by Marc Ayotte
The Alvirne boys Soccer team was plagued by inclement
conditions down the stretch including the Oct. 21 battle against
Hanover, when the Broncos battled back from a 2-0 second-half
deficit and driving rain, to defeat the Marauders, 3-2, in overtime.
But it was post-season Mother Nature that ultimately would short
change the Broncos.
On the heels of their 13-3 regular season mark that placed them
2nd in the D-I standings, the Broncos had earned, thats right, earned
home field advantage for the first two rounds of the playoffs. That
did not end up being the case as the Broncos were dealt a cold, wet
and raw hand when their scheduled home game in Bronco Nation
was relocated to the neutral site of Rivier University; Advantage away
team.
With the field conditions at Alvirne deemed unplayable, both
Pinkerton and Alvirne were whisked away in the eleventh hour to
the Nashua campus for the Saturday matinee on Nov. 1. And after a
hard-fought battle against the number 7-seeded Astros, the Broncos
saw their season come to an abrupt and disappointing conclusion
when they ended up on the light side of a 2-1 verdict.
Tom Hanks said in the movie A League of Their Own: Theres no
Andrew Teague (#15 white) battles for position.

crying in baseball. There is no crying in high school soccer either,
but it is sadly unfortunate that weather and decisions stemming from
adverse playing conditions, came into play not only on the field, but
also into the psychological edge that the Broncos had worked so
hard to secure.
With the winner of this game not scheduled to play their semifinal contest until Wednesday, Nov. 5, maybe, just maybe, the
powers that be could have opted to play the game on Sunday or
Monday when the weather would not have robbed Alvirne from
playing on its home turf the ultimate outcome may indeed have
not been altered just saying!
Boo-hoo-ing aside, in the preliminary round, AHS did work
that home field advantage into a 6-1 scalping of the Tomahawks.
Merrimack entered the game as the tournaments number 15 seed
and justified their ranking early on. The Broncos jumped out
to a 4-1 lead at the half on goals from Raul Stedile (2) and Brett
Richardson (2). Stedile scored the first two for the Broncos while
Richardsons first tally gave Alvirne a 3-0 cushion with Matt Lubinski
picking up the assists on all three. After Merrimack scored to make it
3-1, a hand ball call against the Tomahawks in the 18 box resulted in
a penalty kick which Richardson obligingly buried into the net in the
games 40th minute for a 4-1 halftime lead.
In the 22nd minute of the second forty, role reversal took place
when Richardson assisted on Lubinskis goal that made it 5-1.
The stat sheet saw some newcomers near games end when Ryan
Gursky scored, with the assist going to Jack Regan in the 78th
minute. Jake Schofield had another Red Bull Energy Drink session
between the posts, making one save against the anemic Merrimack
offense. Additionally, Andrew Teague at stopper, and Khary Higgins
at sweeper, according to Assistant Coach Al Conti, nullified the
Merrimack attack.
In the quarterfinal game against Pinkerton, the visiting sea of red
uniforms played well in the early going despite two Grade A chances
from Alvirnes Brett Richardson and Matt Lubinski. Kyle Hicks gave
the Astros a 1-0 lead in the 20th minute when his header off a corner
kick found its way past Bronco goalie Jake Schofield (four saves).
However, Alvirne washed away Pinkertons lead when Nate
Gosselins shot from the top left portion of the 18 box hit the left post
and then bounced in. The goal stood up for the remainder of the
half as both teams attempted to find dry ground.
In the 64th minute, Alex Ebner, after beating a Bronco defender,
put the Astros up for good on a shot from the right side of the goal.
In the ensuing 16 minutes, Alvirnes scoring chances were minimal,
despite a late-game surge. In a fitting clich, to a man, the Broncos
left it on the field with their effort and determination never waning.
But on the day after Halloween, the loss and their quest to get
back to the championship game will certainly yield lingering and
haunting memories for some time to come.

Alvirne ended up on
the losing side of a 28 to 14 final score.
Now some background. First, sidelines were abuzz about the
team heading to a playoff game in NHIAA Division 1. Alvirne has
only made football playoffs three other times since football began in
Broncoland. A win on Halloween, yes it was Halloween --not that
high school students still go door-to-door for candy-- would bring the
first-ever playoff game to Alvirne. Across the river, Bishop Guertin
was playing Nashua South. If South won, the next Saturday playoff
would be at AHS, but, if BG won, it would be at Stellos Stadium.

Jack Mahoney breaks away for the first Alvirne touchdown.

Mahoney reaching 1,000 yards and WMUR was there for the kick off.
A lot of brainy things to see and/or think about for all of the players.
Or was it just that? Timberlane was a better team than their record
showed and they wanted it more. After the game, Give Timberlane
credit, Coach Walsh said. They just wore us down. Depth has
bitten us we get into the second half with some of these teams, and
we get worn down.
After the half where fans were treated to the sounds of sticks
played by chickens, Dorothys, Minnions, prisoners and many more
different characters, Mahoney in the third quarter broke into the
1,000 yard club; he had carried the ball 26 times in the first half
for just over 100 yards and, as
the final whistle blew, he had
reached 144 yards. During this
final home game, Mahoney
had four catches for about 35
yards and even threw a pass to
Andrew Stevens in the fourth
quarter that was incomplete.
See you at Stellos Stadium at 3
p.m. for the start of the Broncos
playoff run.
