Blue vs. Yellow

Hudson Police Accept a Laser Tag Challenge


by Doug Robinson
Several Hudson police officers
challenged youth at the Old Home
Days festivities to a game of laser
tag.
Hosted by Village Idiotz Party
Rentals of Manchester, five cops
challenged 10 kids to the fight. The
cops were team blue and the kids
were team yellow.
After getting beaten, two games
to one, the kids re-grouped and
handed the cops their first loss.
All in all, This was a blast,
commented Officer Alan Marcotte.
Detective Allison Cummings
said, This is what community
policing is all about. Interacting
with kids and having fun while we
are doing this. I hope we do this
again next year.

Ocer Alan Marcotte is caught off-guard by his young combatant.

All of the ocers blue headbands are lit up red while all the kids yellow headbands are not,
signifying that the ocers lost the battle and the kids won!

Each year, people of all ages attend Hudson Old Home
Days festivities for many reasons: carnival rides, food,
musical entertainment, games. In addition, its the place
students renew friendships after a couple of months
away from school, neighbors enjoy a leisurely chat
while strolling the fairgrounds, and families squeeze
in one more day of fun together before fall.
For the Hudson Old Home Days Committee, the
four-day event is the culmination of much planning,
organizing and effort. It is a lot of work to plan
all the entertainment and activities, but it is a lot of
fun. This year we have 60 vendors, said committee
member Brenda Collins.
Collins and her fellow committee members wore
bright pink staff shirts and kept things running
smoothly all weekend, despite the intense heat.
The sights of the RE/MAX balloon giving tethered lifts,

Each year the Hudson Old Home Days Committee
spends thousands of dollars for companies to light
up the Saturday night sky with their annual fireworks
show. This years show was performed by RS
Fireworks of Londonderry.
Owners Shawn Connors and Rob Lavoie have spent
years studying and learning the fireworks trade. While
Connors served a tour in Iraq, Lavoie continued to
run his family business and did research on class B
fireworks, according to refireworks.net. In addition

the scents of peppers, onions and sausages sizzling on the
grill, popcorn popping and the petting zoo and pony
rides corral all combine and say, It is Old Home
Days weekend again.
In addition to the annual favorites such as the pie
eating contest, The Voice of Hudson competition,
cow pie bingo, hula hoop contest and Haystack
Treasure Hunt, new features included laser tag
and the Enchanted Forest Hayride.
On Sunday, Aug. 16, the Hudson Historical
Society celebrated the 125th birthday of Alvirne
Hills House, and Sunday afternoons musical
entertainer, Matt Richardson, led the crowd in
singing Happy Birthday while the society served
free cake.
In 1897 New Hampshire Governor Frank Rollins
wrote, I wish that in the ear of every son and
daughter of New Hampshire, in the summer days,
might be heard whispered the persuasive words: Come
back, come back. Do you not hear the call? What has
become of the old home where you were born?

On the Road Again

Staff photo by Laurie Jasper

by Laurie Jasper
On Saturday, Aug. 15, at Hudson Old Home Days, Hudson residents
Fred and Sandy Bastien stopped by Alvirne Hills House to donate a
road sign to the Hudson Historical Society.
Weve lived on
Lowell Road 26
years, said Fred,
who worked for the
Hudson Highway
Department for 25
years before his
retirement.
The Bastiens found
the sign recently
in the attic of their
shed, and wanted the
society to have it. Hudson Historical Society Historian Ruth Parker
said they will do some research to determine where the sign was
originally located, somewhere in the area of Central and Lowell Road
intersection. The road sign immediately was displayed in the Hills
House, and the society appreciates this donation of Hudson history.

Remember Hudson When ...


Taylor Falls Iron Bridge
submitted by Ruth Parker
Once the decision was made to replace the wooden bridge, a contract in
the amount of $19,500 was awarded in 1881 for the construction of the Taylor
Falls Iron Bridge between Hudson and Nashua. The iron bridge was built in
the same location as and using the same abutments as the old wooden bridge
but with an increased grade of two feet.
In addition to the new bridge this contract included raising the grade,
removal of the old wooden structure, and the stone work under the bridge.
The contractor kept the materials from the old bridge. This bridge was open
for public travel in November 1881. In the end, after Hudson received money
from Nashua, Litchfield, and Londonderry, the actual cost of this iron bridge to
the town was about $7,300.
For 14 years this bridge needed little maintenance except for new planking,
painting, and tightening of the rods. In 1895 the bridge was strengthened
and provided with new floor beams so as to allow for electric cars (trolleys)
between Nashua and Hudson. These improvements were paid for by the
electric car company.
By 1909 safety issues again developed. This time the issue was related to
the increased weight and frequency of the electric cars; more than doubled
when first allowed on the bridge. Engineering experts were called in to review
the bridge and found it to be unsafe. Only 28 years after completion plans
were underway to replace this bridge. This photo from the collection of the
Hudson Historical Society was taken from the Hudson side of the river.

Bacteria Warning Closes


Robinson Pond Beach
Robinson Pond in Hudson is closed to swimming after
state inspectors found high levels of cyanobacteria, which
can cause short-term health effects ranging from skin
irritation to diarrhea. Town officials have advised residents
and pet owners to steer clear of the pond and beach area.
On Monday, the New Hampshire Department of
Environmental Services issued an advisory that a high level
of the bluish-green cyanobacteria had been detected in the
pond. Cyanobacteria is a natural component found in the
water.
State inspectors will conduct sample tests of the pond

weekly until the cyanobacteria level has diminished.


Meanwhile, the beach will remain closed until further
notice. Sample testing had been done by the department
as recently as mid-August. Chronic effects from long-term
cyanobacteria exposure include liver and chronic nervous
system damage.
The DES routinely monitors public beaches and bodies
of water across the state for cyanobacteria. Most recently
warnings were issued on Aug. 17 for Downing Pond in
New Durham and on Aug. 3 for Nippo Pond in Barrington.

for this pipeline to be constructed from Pennsylvania to New

are also numerous other laterals and loops proposed to run off
the main line.
Please look at these reports for the constitution Pipeline

this project be denied! continue to make your concerns known
by making comments at ferc.gov under docket PF14-22.
You can also look at application, environmental report and

Good news! contrary to many peoples belief, FErc does
not have final approval! another application is filed with the
NH site Evaluation committee. a docket will be created and
you will have a chance to file comments and petition to be an

Please remember to comment on both state and Federal

FErc!
if you think you arent affected, think again! This negligent
project as proposed, will affect robinson Pond, private wells and
aquifers as well as the public drinking water source for Hudson.
according to the water quality report from Pennichuck, there
are three wells located in Litchfield that supply drinking water
to the Hudson water system. The pipeline, as proposed, runs

Organizers for Another Great Event
We are sending a big thank you to everyone who organized
and/or worked at Hudson old Home days. once again it
was a great family and community event and we know it took
hours and hours of volunteer time to pull off this four day
extravaganza.
Every year we look forward to dinner under the stars. so
many choices from pizza to lobster rolls or fried oreos to choose
from. Like many we munch our way around the grounds,
visiting with old friends and making new ones. Finally it is time
for the fireworks and once again they did not disappoint.
Thank you volunteers for a wonderful weekend.

Funding Approved for New


England High-Intensity Drug
Trafficking Area
Grants will Help Fight Heroin and Prescription
Opioid Abuse Epidemic
submitted by the Office of U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte
U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) applauded the Aug.17 announcement by the Office of
National Drug Control Policy designating $13.4 million in funding for the High Intensity
Drug Trafficking Areas program nationwide, including $2.5 million for the Heroin Response
Strategy to be split across five regional HIDTA programs and $265,000 for the New England
HIDTA to support prevention efforts.
Fighting New Hampshires growing heroin and prescription opioid abuse epidemics will
take a coordinated effort among federal, state, and local partners, and todays announcement
is welcome news for New Hampshire and other New England states that are confronting
this crisis, Ayotte said. The HIDTA program is a critical tool for enhancing regional
collaboration, especially since heroin and fentanyl are trafficked across state lines. Im
particularly glad that the New England HIDTA will also be focusing funds on prevention
efforts. We must take a multi-pronged approach in this fight, and prevention is a key part of
that.
Ayotte has previously called on Senate appropriators to prioritize funding for the HIDTA
program as part of an all-hands-on-deck strategy to New Hampshires opioid abuse crisis.

As Medicare and Medicaid celebrate their 50th anniversary
protecting the health and well-being of millions of seniors, people
with disabilities and low-income individuals, the centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) today released updated
Medicare state-by-state enrollment numbers, showing that more than
55 million Americans are covered by Medicare.
In 1966, approximately 19.1 million Americans were covered
by Medicare. In 2012, there were nearly 52 million beneficiaries
covered by Medicare. Todays enrollment numbers represent a three
million person increase during the last three years as the Baby Boom
generation has started to retire. Medicare beneficiaries depend on
the program to provide critical health services such as preventive
services, including flu shots and diabetes screenings, hospital stays,
lab tests and critical supplies like wheelchairs and prescription drugs.
Over the last 50 years, Medicare has become part of the fabric of
our communities, protecting the well-being and financial security of
millions of American families as they age or if they become disabled.
In doing so, Medicare has kept up with dramatic demographic
changes and led the charge toward improving health care delivery,
said Andy Slavitt, CMS acting administrator. As we preserve and
advance Medicare for future generations, we are focused on helping
build a better system with smarter spending that keeps people
healthier.
CMS also releases state-by-state Medicaid enrollments on a
monthly basis. As of May 2015, over 71.6 million individuals were
enrolled in Medicaid and the Childrens Health Insurance Program
(CHIP) with 12.8 million more gaining coverage since 2013. More
information is available on Medicaid.gov.
The chart below outlines enrollment as of May 2015 in Original
Medicare, Medicare Advantage and Part D (prescription drug plans)
for New Hampshire:

Funding Approved
for New England
High-Intensity Drug
Trafficking Area
Grants will Help Fight Heroin
and Prescription Opioid Abuse
Epidemic
submitted by the Office of U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte
U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) applauded the Aug.17
announcement by the Office of National Drug Control Policy
designating $13.4 million in funding for the High Intensity Drug
Trafficking Areas program nationwide, including $2.5 million
for the Heroin Response Strategy to be split across five regional
HIDTA programs and $265,000 for the New England HIDTA to
support prevention efforts.
Fighting New Hampshires growing heroin and prescription
opioid abuse epidemics will take a coordinated effort among
federal, state, and local partners, and todays announcement
is welcome news for New Hampshire and other New England
states that are confronting this crisis, Ayotte said. The HIDTA
program is a critical tool for enhancing regional collaboration,
especially since heroin and fentanyl are trafficked across state
lines. Im particularly glad that the New England HIDTA will also
be focusing funds on prevention efforts. We must take a multipronged approach in this fight, and prevention is a key part of
that.
Ayotte has previously called on Senate appropriators to
prioritize funding for the HIDTA program as part of an all-handson-deck strategy to New Hampshires opioid abuse crisis.

Department of Homeland Security
State and federal officials say more than $1 million in federal
assistance has been delivered to New Hampshire to help cover
costs of the Jan, 26-28, severe winter storm and snow storm that
buried parts of the state under two to three feet of snow.
According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, New
Hampshire has received $1,352,965 in FEMA aid thus far to pay
for emergency protective measures during and after the blizzard
and for snow removal.
The January storm was a three-day event that drained the
coffers of many affected communities, said State Coordinating
Officer Leigh Cheney with New Hampshires Homeland Security
and Emergency Management. The federal dollars are assisting
local governments by replenishing city budgets.
Federal Coordinating Officer James N. Russo, head of FEMAs
recovery operations in New Hampshire, said, We will continue
to support our state and local partners to ensure that applicants

receive all of the assistance for which they are eligible.


New Hampshire Governor Maggie Hassan requested
preliminary damage assessments in three New Hampshire
counties Hillsborough, Rockingham and Strafford - immediately
after the late January storm and sent the assessments to FEMA
with a request for a federal disaster declaration. President Barack
Obama approved the request in late March.
FEMAs Public Assistance Program provides state and local
governments and eligible private non-profit organizations in
designated counties federal funds to pay 75 percent of the
approved cost for assistance categories such as debris removal,
emergency services related to the disaster, and for repairing or
replacing damaged public facilities such as roads, buildings and
utilities.
Both FEMA and the state, which distributes the FEMA funds
to municipalities and qualified non-profits, must review Public
Assistance projects to ensure compliance with regulations.

Remembering a Great Companion:


Kaia Reynolds
8/30/2001 - 8/10/2015
submitted by Holly Reynolds
Over the past 13-plus years, Litchfield residents knew or knew of the
Border Collie in town who ran the streets with one of her owners. She
was a wonderful family dog, a great companion, and helped me train
for more races that I can count. But the joy in running was watching
the faces of the passersby, many of whom I dont know, smile and wave
to us. As her signature move, she would lay down on the ground any
time a car would pass. I cannot count the number of times drivers,
police officers or pedestrians stopped to ask if the dog was okay. As
the years went by, the runs became shorter; they turned into walks,
then strolls, then to rolling the ball to her on the ground. Our family
will miss her dearly, as many of you dog lovers can understand. Thank
you so much, Litchfield residents, for brightening my runs with your
laughter at her goofiness and for asking about her when you didnt see
her as often. What a great community!

Police and Fire Explorers Join in Annual Muster


Did you drive by the Leonard Smith Central Fire Station
in July and see water being shot into the air and people in
red helmets scurrying around? Well, you were witnessing
the annual Fire Explorer Muster.

This year, the Hudson Police Explorers came to the


station to participate with their adviser, Officer Allison
Cummings. It is reported that the Police Explorers did
well handling the fire hose for the first time.
One of the events held during the muster was the water
pole event where a bucket
is attached to a rope above
the heads of the two teams.
With the bucket in the
middle the team must push
it using charged hose lines.
The team that pushes it in
to the other teams start line
wins.

more than 100 years later. This year, Hudson welcomed home
Phyllis Keeney. Phyllis Keeney was the first female selectman
in Hudson, serving from 1974-1977. She was also a state
representative and state senator. Phyllis, 89, and her son Norwood
visited the Hudson Historical Society. Phyllis was a founding

Tips for Taming Back-to-School Stress


Beating the stress of back to school:
What you can do to help your anxious student
(BPT) - Do you or your child have the back-to-school
blues? If so, youre not the only ones. Saying goodbye
to slower summer days can be difficult. For almost three
months, you have felt free from the structure of the
classroom and the accompanying homework. When the
upcoming school year rolls around, its common to feel
some sadness. For children who suffer from anxiety, this
stress may be harder to handle, and it may stem from
more than just pop quizzes and earlier bedtimes.
These children need extra attention as the new school
year draws near. The best thing you can do to prepare
your child is to give the gift of your time and attention.
Instead of dwelling on things like tests and homework,
talk about how to make the transition into the exciting
new school year the best it can be.
Lauren Zimet, director of the Early Insights Healthy
Foundations Program, is a mother herself and has pinpointed the top four back-to-school tips and tricks to
make the transition easier. These tips will help to reduce
the stress and tension felt by you and your child, not only
for the first weeks of school (the hardest time to adjust)
but throughout the year as well.
1. Connected communication. Engage in a conversation with your child and ask what he or she is excited and
concerned about for the upcoming school year. Give your
child the freedom to speak openly and avoid asking too
many questions at once. Youll know you are connecting
when he starts volunteering information. When you listen
to your child, and he can see the genuine interest and attention in your eyes and through your body
language, he will feel more comfortable
discussing the upcoming year.
2. Creative calendars. Planning ahead
makes adults feel prepared, which is a huge
de-stressor. The same goes for your child.
Younger children only need a day or two to
look forward to their big day. Older children
may benefit from discussing the year weeks
before the first day, especially if those
conversations include working on things
like organization, planning, prioritizing, and
sequencing (those important executive functions of the brain).
3. Visualize the goal. Get specific and
help your child visualize the first day of

school. Have your child tell you or draw out the sequence of the day, from waking up in the morning, to
dressing in an outfit chosen the night before, to what
shell be enjoying as her brain-boosting energy breakfast.
The more your child can visualize her routine(s), the
more she will be at ease when the big day finally arrives.
4. Load up on brain food. Breakfast is coined the
most important meal of the day, and rightly so! Food
is the fuel for the brain and body, and the quality of the
fuel matters. Whatever you choose to give your body
and brain each morning will enable you to do a certain
level of thinking. American breakfasts are often unbalanced, heavily favoring carbs, which are only a tiny part
of the good-breakfast equation. Encourage your child to
pick a protein each morning, as well as fruit, veggie, and
healthy fat and carb options. From there, complement his
or her diet with an omega-3 fatty acid supplement from a
reputable fish oil company like Nordic Naturals. Omega-3 fatty acids have been found to help soothe anxious
brains as well as support the entire nervous system, so
dont miss out on this simple improvement opportunity.
Research on omega-3 fatty acids can be found at www.
omega-research.com.
The new school year is on its way and while this time
of year may cause some children to feel anxious, there
are things you can do to help. Employ any of the suggestions above to help your child start feeling more excited
about the new school year with each passing day.

School day mornings can be hectic, as


getting kids ready for school and out the door
on time is not always easy. Working parents
may find school day mornings especially difficult, as their own work schedules can make
mornings feel even more rushed. Fortunately,
parents can employ several strategies to free
up time in the morning so everyone starts their
days off in a more relaxing atmosphere.
Wake up earlier. Sleep might seem like
a precious commodity, but waking up just 10
to 15 minutes earlier can remove some of the
stress from weekday mornings without costing
you a lot of sack time. Let kids sleep in until
their normal wakeup time, using your extra 10
or 15 minutes to shower or enjoy your morning
cup of coffee before the house is abuzz with activity.
Tackle certain chores the night before. Delaying certain chores until you wake up makes for a
hectic morning, so tackle as many morning chores

as possible before you go to bed for the night. Prepare school lunches, lay clothes out for yourself
and your children, and make sure kids have their
backpacks packed and ready to go before they go
to bed. Each of these things may only take a few
minutes, but when left for the morning, they can
add up to a substantial amount of time.
Encourage youngsters to
pick up the pace. Some people
are morning people, while others
dread setting their alarms for
early morning hours. Kids who

Add Health Screenings to Back-to-School Checklist


As summer vacation winds down, thoughts turn from jaunts to the beach
to readying for a new school year. To-do lists include many of the typical
tasks that precede going back to the classroom, including shopping for new
clothes, purchasing school supplies and finishing summer reading assignments.
Another essential requirement parents must find time for is completing
their childrens health screenings and immunizations so youngsters can
return to school.
Health screenings may include, but may not be limited to, routine physical exams, eye exams and dental cleanings. Each school district may have
its own set of health requirements that must be met in order for children to
attend school.
Many schools require that children are up-to-date with all immunizations
before they can begin a new school year. While the issue of vaccinations
has inspired debate in recent years, parents should recognize that many
schools will only exempt students from receiving certain vaccinations due
to religious reasons. For a list of state vaccination requirements and possible
exemptions for schools in the United States, visit www2a.cdc.gov/nip/
schoolsurv/schImmRqmt.asp.
Students who have specific learning disabilities or medical conditions that
require classroom modification should obtain recent documentation from
any therapists or specialists prior to beginning a new school year. Doing
so facilitates the process of setting up procedures within the school while
ensuring children have what they need to excel in the classroom. All parents
may want to ask doctors to provide copies of medical and immunization
records so that schools will have the most recent copies on file.
Parents should schedule eye examinations well in advance of the first day
of school so they have ample time to fill new prescriptions for youngsters
before school begins. This ensures kids wont be starting off on the wrong
foot because of vision problems that could already have been addressed.
Parents of adolescents or students on the verge of adolescence may want
to address the subject of bodily changes before the school year begins anew.
Address which changes can be expected, including the start of menstruation
for girls. This will help children better understand what is happening when

they witness changes in themselves and fellow classmates and give them a

Tips to Help Your Child


Have a Great School Year
(BPT) - They grow up fast, dont they? One minute theyre in a
car seat and the next youre picking out a school backpack. The
transition to preschool and kindergarten is a big leap for most families and sometimes it can feel like a roller coaster ride. There are
some obvious ways to prepare your kids for these changes: buying
school supplies, getting them used to waking up on time, eating
breakfast and possibly even taking a school bus ride. But there are
some not-so-obvious preparations, too, like preparing yourself to
take on a brand new role - as the parent of a school-aged child.
As parents, its so easy to focus on our kids and what they
need that we forget to consider what we need, says Donna Hunt
OBrien, an expert in early child development and Director of
Training, Curriculum & Program Innovation at Parents as Teachers,
an organization devoted to supporting families and young children.
Its important to prepare yourself for your childs transition too.
You are your childs first and best teacher and that role will expand
as your child starts her journey through school. The more confident
and prepared you are the more confident and successful your child
will be.
To help make your childs school year as successful as possible
- and to help you enjoy the ride, as well - here are five things you
can do to create a strong partnership between your family and your
childs school:
* Open the lines of communication with your childs teachers
and adult friends. Youre not the only teacher in your childs life any
more. Now she has other adults who are there to help. Introduce
yourself, give out your contact information and make it clear youre
happy these new teachers are a part of your childs world. After all,
you both already have something in common -- you like watching
your child learn new things. Establish a positive relationship with
these other adults right away and youll feel more comfortable coming to them when you need support.
* Involve your childs fan club. By the time your child is 3 or
4 years old, she will have many adults in her life who care about
her, including grandparents, babysitters, and relatives. They are her
loudest cheering section, so keep everyone in the loop about her
triumphs and challenges as she enters that next grade level.
* Let teachers know what makes your family tick. Whats the free
time passion in your household? Do you read books together, play
music, or do you love to spend time outdoors playing games? Share
what your family likes to do with your childs school. This will give
teachers an inside look at what your child loves and make it easier to
find ways to capture her imagination.
* Share what makes your child special. If youre the parent of
multiple kids, then you know better than anyone that every child
is different - each has his or her own strengths and needs. As your
childs first teacher and parent, youre the expert on everything to do
with your kid. Take the time to listen to her thoughts and concerns
and make sure you pass along this information to your childs school.
It can help teachers know what to look for and how to lend a helping
hand when your child needs it.
* Take the time to find your team. As parents, youre all on this
roller coaster ride together, so dont be afraid to introduce yourself
and share some stories with your fellow passengers. Learning that
other parents have the same concerns or issues you do can make you
feel better about your own situation.
These first school years are a big step, not only for your children,

(Rob) joined groups such as Pyrotechnics Guild International and


the NH Pyrotechnic Association.
When Connors returned home from Iraq with a medical
discharge and a purple heart, the two men continued their
training and research as they decided what type of show they
wished to perform. We want to bring to fireworks, the same
excitement that Ben and Jerrys brings to ice cream, explained
Lavoie and Connors.
The Old Home Days fireworks consisted of more than 400
shells which filled with as many explosives. The fuses allowed
those who lit the fuse only four seconds to move out of the way,
while the fireworks shot out of the long metal tube. The finale
of the show consisted of 400 more shells that were specifically
dedicated to the final flurry of explosions and fanfare.
Before the show starts, Hudson Fire inspectors double check
the connections, primers, and assembly of the mortar shells to
not only protect the fireworks employees from possible death,
but to also protect those attending the carnival and the corn fields
from being injured.
HPD Inspector Joseph Triolo commented, The Town of
Hudson has an ordinance prohibiting the use of fireworks. Every
year we receive emergency calls for those who not follow that
ordinance and receive an injury from their improper use of
fireworks. Even at Old Home Days, where we have a licensed
and insured company which puts on the fireworks display, we
need to be very cautious and leave this type of work to the
professionals.

Dozens of rows containing more than 900 tubes of fireworks


are specifically designed for safety.

The fuse will be lit and the technician will have only four seconds to get out of the way before the tube explodes with the fireworks being shot into the sky.

Just three years before in 1935, the strongest hurricane
ever to hit the United States inundated the Florida Keys with

has now become a category 5 hurricane (the most powerful
category of hurricane intensity).
On Monday, Sept. 19, the storm takes a sudden turn to
the north as so many Cape Verde storms do. Meteorologists
know this as recurvature. Forecasters breathe a collective
sigh of relief. Every prior storm since 1900 that took this

hurricane or are totally unaware that they can affect nontropical climes.
As the eye of the storm approaches Long Island, south
coast residents watch as a thick bank of fog 25 to 40
feet high rolls in towards the south-facing coast. But what
they think is a fog bank is really the storm surge, a virtual
mountain of water that is associated with the extremely
strong winds and low pressure near the center of the storm.

El Nio is expected to protect us from a major long track hurricane
like the hurricane of 38 this season. However, in the El Nio
summer of 1991, Hurricane Bob developed just east of the Bahamas
and tracked through coastal New England, so we always need to
remain vigilant. Next summer, La Nia may be coming on and the
Atlantic basin is likely to warm as the Pacific cools and the risk will
increase.

Race Car Driver


Extricated by
Firefighters
submitted by David S. Morin,
HFD Information Liaison
On Sunday, Aug. 16, just before 8:30 p.m.,
Hudson firefighters responded to the Hudson
Speedway on Old Derry Road, for a request
for assistance removing a race car driver from
a vehicle. Responding to the scene was the
squad and command vehicle.
While en route to the scene, the on duty
commander requested an engine company to
the scene due to the nature of the call. Upon
arrival, fire crews found the race car had been
involved in a crash with the driver trapped and
suffering injury. An ambulance from Hudson
Fire was called to the scene to provide patient
care. The vehicle had been rear-ended on turn
one at the track and suffered heavy damage.
Due to safety equipment built into the car
to protect the driver, the rescue proved to be
difficult as firefighters had to access the trapped
occupant through the roof of the vehicle. Fire
crews, using the Jaws of Life, cut through the
roof and roll bars to peel the roof back to
access the patient and were able to extricate
the patient within 20 minutes of their arrival.
The lone occupant sustained injuries and
was transported by Hudson Fire Department
Ambulance to a Nashua hospital for treatment.
Responding to the scene were one engine,
one ambulance, one squad and one command
vehicle staffed by nine firefighters and officers
from the Central, Robinson Road and Burns
Hill fire stations. The Nashua Fire Department
sent an engine to cover the Hudson Central Fire
Station while Hudson crews worked the scene.

Zach Attack Draws 449 Runners

In a remembrance of Number 27, Zachary M. Tompkins, the


5K Fun Run/Walk drew large numbers for the fifth time this race
has occurred. Runners and walkers started in the Alvirne parking
lot and proceeded through the schools sports complex into the

neighborhood before returning to the parking lot.


Finishing in the lead for the men was Blaine Ayotte, while the
fastest woman was Karen Duprey. Running in the under 18 grouping
there was Noah Bellomo for the males and Katie Bellomo for the
females.
Former school board chairman and historical
society member, Lee Lavoie was recovering at the
societys food tent after the race. While he mentioned
his time, it wont show up in print, but it was
respectable for a man his age. He did mention that
the toughest part was trying to complete the run and
say hello to all the runners and walkers who were
making their way out of the
sport fields as he was returning.
Talking, running and breathing
might have been just one multitask too many. He was proud
that his daughter, Kelly, who
will be an Alvirne freshman
in September, finished many
minutes before him; it could
have been double digits but you
didnt read it here.
Joanne Tompkins, Zacharys grandmother,
wants to be sure all those who helped
make this annual race successful would be
recognized. Gift certificates for free raffles
came from Countrybrook Farms, Dicks
Sporting Goods, North Side Grill, Professors
Pizza, Kendall Pond Pizza and Annes Country
Florals. Donations of water were given by

Countrybrook Farms, Walgreens, Ayottes, and 7-Eleven. The fruit


was donated by Sams Club. Ten volunteers form Kohls helped with
the race.
Joanne also offered a shout out to Mike and Sherry Carbonneau
for all they did - putting signs all over Hudson, and Windham,
donating slush, medals for the winners, setting the course, and more.
The memorial fund has been selling raffle tickets to win two first
class tickets to anywhere in the U.S. including Hawaii. The winner
was drawn at the end of the race; the winner was Pam Anastasia.

Campbell Fall Sports Preview


by Zack Miller
Anytime a high school has multiple sports programs that are
successful, expectations are normally high for the next year,
especially at Campbell.
Coming off of their first state championship in school history, the
football program aims to repeat as champions. The only problem is
the team lost 12 seniors, who all contributed to their title run from
last year, with some going on to play in the Shrine Game and East/
West All-Star Game. It will be a tall task to replace them, but having
more kids come out this year to join the program will give Coach
Greg Gush more options to replace the previous starters.
Also joining the football program on the graduation parade was
the boys soccer program. Coach Bob Gannons squad had onethird of their team graduate as well, with most coming as starters.

Coming off of a playoff run of their own, the team returns the other
two-thirds of their team, which will give Gannon options he can
utilize once again, to make another run at a championship.
On the flip side of things, girls volleyball only loses four seniors
from last years squad that went all the way to the semi-finals in the
Division III tournament. That was the furthest the team has ever
gone in school history, but they are looking to add their own banner
to the gymnasium rafters, just as the football program did the year
before. Coach Collin Walkers squad will have 6 seniors on this
years team that will provide a lot of leadership and experience to
allow the team to get back into the tournament, and potentially, win
that first championship.
Like the girls volleyball team the girls soccer team doesnt have
to worry about phasing in a lot of new faces either because they

only lost three seniors from last years playoff squad. Most of their
