Will the Third Time be a Charm?

by Len Lathrop
As the town leaders are looking toward the March elections, the
question is what will the voters approve, and what questions will
voters be presented to approve. From the school district ballot there
is no projection at this time of any big dollar questions.
The question this September is what information and/or changes
are needed to get the 60 percent of the voters approval to pass a
bond to finance the fire station project. At the request of several
selectmen, Fire Chief Robert Buxton refreshed the information and
the cost projections to put the station on a piece of town-owned land
on Lowell Road, next to the driveway of the Mission Pointe complex,
somewhat across from the Fairview Nursing complex.
When in front of the selectmen on Tuesday, Aug. 23, before
the chief could make his presentation, the question of a different
location on Lowell Road caused a heated debate relative to the issue
if that section of the chiefs report should be discussed during the
public session of the meeting or held and then reviewed in the nonpublic session (which is not taped or broadcast live).
After receiving the report later in the week, the hubbub seemed
unnecessary; the following information is the report from Chief
Buxton to the selectmen.
As we begin to prepare the FY18 budget request the Fire
Department has started to review the proposal for the replacement
station for south Hudson. As you are aware, this project has been
defeated at the ballot the past two budget cycles. The need for this
new facility is even more critical today for a few different reasons;
the current facility is three years older, construction costs continue to
increase and service demand on the emergency services continues
to grow. Below you will find a review of the current facility, past
proposals, site justification and possible funding options.
Current Facility
The current facility is located in south Hudson at 88 Burns Hill

Road. This facility was originally built in 1981 as a substation that

was staffed by the members of the call department. Full-time staffing
did not begin to operate out of this facility on a consistent twenty
four hour basis until 2001. To date, the facility has not had any
major update. The facility houses three employees who operate out
of less than 800 square feet. This space is broken down as follows:
Combination Supervisor office/dormitory
Kitchen/dayroom/training room
Dormitory
This is one large room that is separated by temporary walls
that creates semi-private areas.
One bathroom/shower area
A review of the site shows a facility that is serviced by a private
well and sewer. Floor drains from the apparatus floor enter into
an oil/water separator that is then discharged into the towns storm
water system. On each side of the facility is an area of wetland
that limits the expansion to the right or left of the facility with the
boundary line for the rear of the property running along the backside
of the current facility.
The current facility does not lend itself to renovation without
additional space being added. As we reviewed in the past,
expansion of the current facility on site would be extremely difficult.
During the FY17 budget process we put together a projected
cost estimate for adding 2,000 square feet to the building and bring
municipal services to this location so we could remove the current
private well and septic system. This estimate came in at $2,370,000.
As we proposed this project we did not feel this was a costefficient path for this project to take.
New Facility
We are proposing the construction of a modern fire station with
up-to-date firematic support. This facility is planned to be a single
floor building that will be required to meet all ADA requirements
along with all current building and fire codes. As a
piece of critical infrastructure it would be constructed
with emergency power capabilities, traffic control and
efficient mechanical, electrical and plumbing programs.
The proposal offers a building that not only meets our
needs today but is built to handle the futuristic needs of
the community.
Site Selection
As you are aware, we have proposed the utilization
of town owned land located at 204 Lowell Road for the
construction of the new facility. This parcel is supported

parcels of property.
One of the concerns regarding the selected site has been the
impact on the traffic on Lowell Road.
We understand this concern, traffic has been a concern on Lowell
Road for several years and as a community we need to continue to
support initiatives to reduce this congestion. From a Fire Department
perspective we would continue to utilize traffic control devices to
allow for the processing of emergency apparatus through the traffic.
We also believe with the facility on Lowell Road there would be less
interruption because we would have direct access to Lowell Road
and not have to move the traffic form Wason Road to Lowell Road
ultimately increasing traffic congestion. As you are aware the road
infrastructure in this area of town is very limited and the utilization
of smaller and narrower roadways with large fire apparatus impacts
our response and service delivery.
We did look at the potential of considering a different location
for this facility. The emergency services delivered by the Fire
Department are currently accomplished out of three facilities which
support each other. So, when we look at achieving our response
times we need to make sure that a relocation will not have an
adverse effect on another area of town. A move to far north on
Lowell Road impacts the response times in the primary response
district and a move to far south will impact town wide service. The
area that we have targeted for the station location that would have
the greatest impact on our service delivery would be from the area
of 200 Lowell Rd. to the area known as Stuart Corner. This area
provides the best response routes and greatest impact to our service
delivery. Any move from the currently proposed location would
require an increase in land accusation efforts and ultimately increase
the overall cost of the project.
Budget
As you are aware, this will be the third year we propose
this project. Over the last two budget cycles we have seen
a construction cost that has escalated at a rate of 5 percent.
Fortunately last year the interest rate remained very low so the
overall cost of the warrant article did not escalate that great of a rate
but did increase to a cost of $2.2 million.
This year we have received an estimated construction cost for this
project of $2.9 million.
The question that has been asked is how are we experiencing
such a high increase in construction cost for the same project that
was proposed last year? The answer that has been received is that
with the elevation in commercial construction activities and the
increase of product has led to this increase. I have requested the
impact of this new cost estimate to the overall bond cost that would
be associated to the average home. We estimated this during the
previous bond article preparation which was an annual cost of $28
and a total cost over a 10-year bond of $280. These numbers are
based on an average single family home value of $256,000.
As we discussed during a recent Board of Selectmens meeting,
we believe we should look at how we are financing this initiative so
we put forward an achievable goal. A few examples to this potential
thought process would be to utilize the proceeds the town has
gathered from the sale of Town property to offset the overall cost of
this project. A second thought would be to utilize a combination of
this fund and a withdrawal from unassigned fund balance to greatly
reduce the overall impact to
the tax rate. The ideas are

Hudson Selectmen and Moderator Work

Hudson Speedway c. 1947

submitted by Ruth Parker
For 70 years, from 1946 to the present, race enthusiasts
of New England have participated in and watched events
at the Hudson Speedway. Located in northern Hudson, at
what is now the corner of Robinson and Old Derry roads,
is this quarter-mile short oval asphalt track banked at 12
degrees. It was initially a dirt track, and by 1953 it was
paved.
Often times the racing schedule called for 11 individual
races during a Sunday afternoon or evening. At one time,
as many as 4,000 race fans were reportedly on hand for
these events. Some Hudson amateur, and not so amateur,
drivers participated in events using stock cars they
themselves modified and painted for the occasion. Local
race fans Gary and Lorna Granger and their friends Bertha
and Richard Ashford drove their cars (No. 68 and No.
69) at this raceway and the sister track in Epping. Stock
car races were of several types: sportsman, modified,
demolition derby, powder puff and spectator races. This
current 2016 season the racing schedule runs from May to
October.
The neighborhood and roadways around the Hudson
Speedway have changed significantly these past 70 years.
Before the early 1950s the part of Derry Road (Route
102) from Old Derry Road just beyond the Hills House
to the Londonderry Flea Market had not been built. The
road we know of as Old Derry Road was The Derry Road.
Robinson Road ended at what is now Old Derry Road at
Potash Corner near the Senter Cemetery. There was an
unnamed cross road from this corner to the Litchfield line.
The intersection of Robinson Road, West Road, and Derry
Road at the Irving Station and Dunkin Donuts did not
exist.
The neighborhood was rural; Nadeau Dairy Farm,

Jaspers Poultry Farm to the south. On the north toward

Londonderry there were two or three houses between the
cemetery and the Londonderry line. The property on Old
Derry Road between the speedway and Putman Road,
where some six houses now exist, was undeveloped and
one family lived there. The property was later owned
by the Town of Hudson for unpaid taxes and, in 1955,
sold at public auction and, by 1971, again sold to a local
developer. By the mid-1970s there were some six families
living adjacent to the speedway on Old Derry Road.
Local property owners were issued seasonal passes to the
speedway events.
With the increase in residency and continuation of
the racetrack activities, conflicts occurred and the local
residents organized to seek regulations of the speedway.
The speedway had been in existence for about 25 years
before this occurred. The issues centered around noise,
crowd and traffic control before and after races, litter
along highway, and even trespassing on private property.
Neighborhood fields were used for parking with property
owners charging for parking; the hours of races were
controlled, so there were no evening races when school
was in session the next day. To this day, Sunday races
continue. To some of the residents in the area it is part of
our neighborhood activities; to others, I am sure, the noise
and activities is more than just an inconvenience.
The photo shown here is from an early postcard with the
photo by A. Dallaire of Manchester, N.H. It is an aerial
view looking west over the track. Old Derry Road (Derry
Road) is behind the bleachers with a field of the Nadeau
Farm across the way being used as a parking lot. The
postcard was a recent donation to the Hudson Historical
Societys collection.

Letters to our Editor

Responding to All of the Mailers

Thumbs Down to The Fox

By now many of you have received at least one of the seven mailers (and
counting) the Convention of States Action out of Austin, Texas, has sent
out targeting me. I thought you should know the truth about what they
are saying and who they are. The following information is from their own
website:
Purpose: Convention of States Action is a 501(c)(4) non-profit
organization founded for the purpose of stopping the runaway power of the
federal government. We believe Washington, D.C., is broken and will not
fix itself. The federal government is spending this country into the ground,
seizing power from the states and taking liberty from the people.
So why are they coming after me with false information? That is the
million dollar question. I believe that because they do not have to reveal
who they get their money from, at least one special interest group in NH is
funneling money through them to maintain their anonymity.
Lets look at the facts. I dislike Obamacare and believe it should be
repealed and replaced. Expanded Medicaid is not Obamacare. We created a
NH solution for low income NH residents (over 700 people in Hudson and
Pelham) using federal funds (the money you send to Washington) and asked
the insurance companies and the hospitals to pick up the difference (no state
funds). The program is working. As of April over 34,000 people had used
the program and moved off of it; it is a helping hand, not a way of life. As
for insurance costs in NH, the rate submissions from the major companies
for the coming year are stable.
NH had not raised its gas tax in over 20 years. Since the volume of
gas sales decreased and the cost of materials increased we were able to do
less road work each year. Our roads and bridges were among the worst
in the nation. In order to fix those things and complete the Interstate 93
expansion I voted for a four cent increase in the gas tax in 2013. Gas prices
today are much lower than when the increase went into effect. Do you
really want to stop the expansion of I-93 or the other repairs to our roads
and bridges that we have been able to do since then? I dont.
The fliers claim that I voted against budget reductions and for tax hikes.
Lets look at those claims. They cite special session HB 1 from 2010 as their
example. This was a special budget bill which of which then State Senator
Hassan was a sponsor, all Republicans in the House voted against this bill.
In 2011 I voted for the budget along with all but 10 House Republicans;
that budget cut $800 million from the previous budget. It is an outright
lie to say that I voted against budget reductions. They go on to claim that I
voted for other tax hikes and they cite Senate Bill 450 from six years ago, yet
I along with every single Republican voted against that bill.
Isnt if funny that a group that wants to reform the federal government
is coming after me with lies about issues from up to 12 years ago? Please
dont let people using out of state addresses and unknown sources of money
influence your vote by lying about the facts. I ask for your vote in the
Republican primary on Sept. 13.

Several weeks ago, management at the Hudson~Litchfield News made what

many readers will agree was a prudent decision in regards to the thumbs
column. Specifically, the anonymous thumbs column will, for the time
being, include only positive remarks, and if anybody chooses to be critical,
he/she must put their name behind it.
And so we begin Thumbs Down to The Fox.
In his column last week, The Fox opined that the Hudson Board
of Selectmen in general, and member Marilyn McGrath in particular,
disrespected resident Shawn Jasper, who also happens to be Speaker of the
House, in his quest to gain a seat on the Library Board of Trustees.
I respectfully disagree.
To sum up once again, the Speaker and three others came before the
board on Aug. 23 to state their cases as to why they should be appointed to
a newly-opened seat on the trustees. Selectmen made clear that they were
impressed with each candidates willingness to step forward, as well as what
each had to offer.
Speaker Jasper was the first to be interviewed. Selectman McGrath
pointed out what she saw as a possible conflict of interest in that the
speakers wife is a part-time employee at the library.
Is this what the Fox meant by writing that Selectman McGrath
questioned him into failure? How so? Is it not a legitimate question to
ask? Its hardly a shot across the bow. Speaker Jasper addressed this issue as
far back as Candidates Night in March, and likely on several other occasions
as well. I would surmise he was well-prepared to address it again on Aug.
23.
For what its worth, I was satisfied with Speaker Jaspers answer. But if
Selectman McGrath had reservations, that is her right, and in no way does it
disrespect the Speakers candidacy.
Another possibility: Perhaps The Fox was irked when after the interviews
concluded, Selectman Coutu made a motion to vote on appointing the
Speaker to the seat and it failed to get a second. While I admit this appeared
odd, I dont know if I would go as far to say that it was disrespectful.
Selectman McGrath then made a motion to vote on Kara Roys candidacy.
She reiterated her concerns with the Speakers alleged conflict of interest, and
she also pointed out that two other candidates did not run for a trustee seat
when two such seats were available in March. Ms. Roy, like Speaker Jasper,
did run for a seat in March. While neither was elected, Ms. Roy earned
more votes than did Speaker Jasper. Selectman McGrath reasoned that this
validated selecting Ms. Roy, who eventually won appointment on a 3-2 vote.
In this regard, I found Selectman McGraths line of thinking to be
perfectly fair. It was not in any way disrespectful.
It says here that Selectman McGrath was guilty of nothing more than
conducting her due diligence, and The Fox was off-base to suggest otherwise.
So thumbs down to The Fox.
If I may add one unrelated addendum: Speaker Jasper has a far more
important vote coming this Tuesday, Sept. 13. He is one of 17 candidates
for 11 spots on the Republican ballot this November for the local state
rep seat. Should he fail to get one of those 11 spots, he has no chance of
defending his Speakership. Thats not a good thing for Hudson and, quite
frankly, its probably not good for the state.
I would thus encourage registered Republicans of Hudson (full disclosure:

national election that - whichever way it goes - figures to have little impact
on our community, and focus instead on who they want representing them

Representing NH in the
Miss Teen USA Pageant
Hello my name is Ariadne Metzler
and I have been selected to represent
the State of NH in the Miss Teen
NH USA pageant held this October.
I am reaching out to my community
because I am hoping that you will
participate with me! My total
sponsorship fee was $1,295. All
funds have been collected for my
sponsorship fee. The sponsorship
is necessary to help cover the costs
of the pageant weekend including
hotel stay, meals, production costs
and prizes. Now I need help to cover the cost for my evening gown, cocktail
dress, interview suit, swim wear, makeup and hair. Approximate cost for
these items is $2,800. Any amount contributed is appreciated no matter
how small or large.
I would like to take a moment to tell you a little about me.
I am 15 years old and a sophomore at Alvirne High School. I am mostly
in honors classes and taking extra courses to enhance my knowledge and get
extra credits for the year.
Some of my personal achievements include: Team member of the Polar
Crush Softball Organization, JV Softball player for Alvirne, Winter Track
member of the Alvirne track team, Brown Belt in Kenpo Karate.
My most recent accomplishment was being selected to represent NH in
the Miss Teen NH USA pageant this fall. The pageant system is one of the
premier state pageants in the United States and I am proud to have been
selected from among the hundreds of applicants that were processed.
This kind of competition is an excellent experience. I am confident I can
do well, and that it will lead to many opportunities for my future. If I do
become our state representative, I will represent the state and compete for
the national title of Miss Teen USA 2017!

Comedy Night Fundraiser Benefits

the Friends of Hudson Fields
The Friends of Hudson New Hampshire Fields will be having its first
annual Comedy Night Fundraiser on Saturday, Oct. 29, at The White Birch
in Hudson. Doors open at 7:30 p.m., show starts at 8:30. Tickets are $20
and there will be a cash bar. To purchase tickets you can call me at 603-6202601 or e-mail at friendsofhudsonnhfields@gmail.com. This is an important
fundraiser for us because we are raising money to improve and expand fields
available for sports and recreation in Hudson.
Friends of Hudson Fields is a non-profit organization created in
collaboration with town and school officials. We are a group of concerned
and dedicated parent volunteers with a common goal to improve and create
fields for our community. One look at our fields and you will see that they
are in dire need of restoration and care. Some fields are so over used and
poorly maintained that they pose safety issues! If you become involved with
planning and coaching youth activities in town, you will become aware of
the serious need for more field space. Currently, we cant support the teams
enrolled in various programs. Lack of practice and game fields is a concern
that ultimately affects the children.
We are excited to have four of the areas finest comedians joining us for
the evening - Paul Nardizzi, Dave Rattigan, Mac Livingston, and Jody Sloan.
We are also looking for sponsors for our event, as well as donations for
our silent auction. If you or anyone you know would like to be one of our
sponsors or donate an item, please have them give me a call at 603-6202601 or e-mail at friendsofhudsonnhfields@gmail.com. A donation form
is attached to this e-mail. Please share this e-mail with others who would
enjoy a night out with friends while helping a great cause.
Thank you for your support. We look forward to spending a fun night
with you!

I would like to take issue with the accuracy of the announcement from
the Hudson Board of Selectmen that was published in the Friday, Aug. 26
issue. This bulletin also arrived in the mail at my home and my neighbors
homes the same day.
While it is true that we have had extreme water pressure issues this
summer, the water pressure issue actually dates back to the Fall of 2015
when the Windham Road Booster station failed completely. Since that time,
water pressure has been noticeably lower than before the breakdown.
When I contacted the town about this in April, I was told, the problem
must be in your house, as none of your neighbors have complained
(subsequently found to be not true). In an effort to try and address the
issue, I called a plumber to ascertain what the problem might be. The
plumber checked our water pressure and found it to be only 40 psi. He
suggested that, with no way to check the pressure from the street, our 55 psi
pressure reducer valve (required by code) might be bad. I had him replace
the valve, and add a test port to allow measurement of pressure from the
main line.
After the replacement was complete, measurement demonstrated only
41psi coming in from the street. So, for $650 I was able to prove the city
was not supplying enough pressure from the main line. The plumber
explained that typical pressure readings from the main supply run between
70 and 80 psi (hence the requirement for the pressure reducer valve).
Nothing was addressed by the town until several houses on the street
had no water pressure on more several occasions, preventing residents from
showering in the morning in mid-July
Nothing was done until I e-mailed all the selectmen on July 27, and then
information was provided from the town engineer, Elvis Dhima, indicated
that the Windham Road Booster station was to be rebuilt by the end of the
year.
My most recent measurement still indicates only 41-42 psi being supplied
to the house.
This situation, while exacerbated by the drought, was not the root cause
of the problem. The drought simply reinforced the severity of the supply
pressure deficiency that has existed for over eight months.
James Stejskal, Hudson

Explore the Road of Forgiveness Instead

As Pastor in the Litchfield community, may I weigh in on the Thumbs
Down decision of HLN by sharing the words of Jesus? (Matthew 18:15)
If someone offends you, go to them individually, face-to-face, and point
out the offense. If the other person listens and apologizes, you have won a
friend, and need to forgive that person (no grudges). If you are unsuccessful
with a one-on-one meeting, take one, two, or three others with you as
witnesses, and go back again for another face-to-face meeting. If the person
still refuses to listen, take your case to the community (HLN)
Our community needs to get back to honest, authentic, transparent
dialogue at the individual face-to-face level. No hate speech. No backstabbing. No put downs. No slander. No anonymous criticisms. No pass
throughs, i.e., sending criticism through a third party like HLN. We made
an agreement at Litchfield Community Church that no one will be criticized
in a meeting (board, committee, or church meeting) unless they have been
spoken to individually first, and the problem could not be resolved. The
agreement has been broken and thats when asking and receiving forgiveness
for our mistakes comes in. Apologizing and forgiving should be an on-going
part of daily life.
If anyone wants to learn more about how to be civil in disagreement,
come to Litchfield Community Church, where we are working at practicing
civil disagreement. And when we forget, we practice forgiveness.
On 9/11, this coming Sunday, at 10 a.m., we will begin a four-week series
on forgiveness. You are invited to come explore the road to forgiveness as
outlined and demonstrated by Jesus Christ.
Rev. Dr. Lori Wiley, Pastor, Litchfield Community Church,

A Report from Representative Ulery

Representative Jordan Ulery is pleased to announce that he has received
encouraging news from three prominent conservative organizations. Along
with the majority of the Incumbent Representatives in Hillsborough 37
(Hudson and Pelham) he received an A rating from the NRA in that
organizations most recent listing. The American Conservative Union also
reported that Representative Ulery was endorsed by their local affiliate,
Granite Institute. The New Hampshire Liberty Alliance also endorsed Ulery
as a defender of liberty. To learn more about Representative Jordan Ulery
please visit Representative Jordan Ulery on Facebook, follow him on Twitter
at @repulery or contact him directly by e-mail at repulery@comcast.net.
Do not forget to vote next Tuesday, Sept. 13. Jordan Ulery is at the
bottom of the alphabetical list of names so it is easy to vote for U in the
Republican primary. Thank you for your consideration.
Jordan Ulery, Hudson

Representative Rice Asks for Support

My name is Kim Rice, I am writing this letter to remind the residents
of Hudson and Pelham that I will be once again running for State
Representative. I have thoroughly enjoyed serving the people of New
Hampshire and hope you will support me in the Primary on Tuesday, Sept.
13, and again in the General Election on Tuesday, Nov. 8, so I may continue
my work in Concord.
In 2014, I was elected to my first term as State Representative and was
assigned to be on the Children and Family Law Committee. I was thrilled
to be appointed to this committee as this is a subject very close to my heart.
I co-sponsored multiple bills that would improve New Hampshire familys
ability to choose what is best for them, including HB 1651 (an act relative to
the duties of the commission to review child abuse fatalities) that was signed
by the Governor.
My commitment to my work has led me to be appointed Interim ViceChair and then later, Committee Whip. I also co-organized and ran a
successful New Hampshire Family Court Forum with fellow Representative
Frank Edelblut who is currently running for Governor. Together, we
gathered a great deal of information that will be used to benefit New
Hampshire families.
Beyond my work with the Children and Family Law Committee,
I maintain strong positions to keep income and sales tax out of New
Hampshire. I have voted to protect our Second Amendment rights, and I
will continue to fight for education rights in New Hampshire by keeping
Common Core out of our schools. I maintain top ratings with Americans
for Prosperity, the NH Liberty Alliance, the American Conservative Union,
the NH Firearm Coalition and the NRA.
I have been a New Hampshire resident all of my life, I have raised my
children here, and I am committed to my local community and all of New
Hampshire. I hope you will support me in the Primary on Tuesday, Sept.
13, and in the General Election on Tuesday, Nov. 8.

submitted by Hudson Police Department

On Friday, Sept. 2, at approximately 12:29 p.m., Hudson Police personnel
responded to the intersection of Route 111 and Sullivan Road for the report of a
motorcycle versus
car collision. Upon
arrival to the scene, it
was determined the
collision occurred
between Kevin
Thompson, 60, of
Hudson, operating a
2015 Harley Davidson
motorcycle, and
Charlene Oakley, also
of Hudson, driving a
2011 Ford Fiesta.
Preliminary
investigation at the
scene determined Thompson was operating west on Route 111 when Oakley pulled
out from Lawrence Road to make a left hand turn onto Route 111. The collision
occurred in the middle of the intersection. Thompson was wearing a helmet,
however, he was ejected from the motorcycle and suffered serious injuries. He
was med-flighted from the scene to a Boston area hospital. Oakley was wearing
a seatbelt and suffered minor to moderate injuries from the collision and airbag
deployment. She was transported to the Southern New Hampshire Medical Center
by the Hudson Fire Ambulance for treatment.
This accident is still under investigation by the Hudson Police collision
reconstruction team.

My Theory about why Doctors Without

Borders was Bombed

I like to switch off my columns from light and funny to serious.

If you get way too into the serious news you become crazy. Not a
fun crazy like a paranoid hide out suggesting complex conspiracy
theories over the internet in the basement kind of crazy.
So Ive decided to do serious again. Now I was a huge fan of
the book 1984 and I do believe that the government has super
secretive and complex programs that I will never know about
and that Big Brother is watching without a doubt. However,
Im not personally concerned with Big Brother watching me
because my life isnt interesting enough. When people start
talking about Big Brother like they are being watched, Im just
like, Bro, Big Brother does not care about you.
You are not important enough to be wasting
time and resources on. Sorry if thats harsh,
but unless youre dumb enough to pledge your
allegiance to ISIS on social media they care
about you about as much as your cheating ex
does. Have fun keeping all your guns and living
in the middle of the woods hiding from the
government that doesnt even know you exist
(unless you owe the government some serious
taxes). I guess youre just not as special as you thought you were.
So, this is another serious topic about the military. Again,
just because you wear a uniform does not mean you can be
exonerated in my eyes. A reminder, I do support the military and
appreciate the sacrifices they make so that we can exercise our
freedoms. Thats what Im doing, exercising my right to freedom
of speech.
On Oct. 3 last year, the U.S. bombed a Doctors Without
Borders hospital in Afghanistan. According to Doctors Without
Borders, at least 42 staff and patients were killed; some of the
victims were children. The government/military said it was
human error and that the soldiers involved were suspended (I
dont know if they still are).
The U.S. investigation acknowledges that there were no armed
combatants within - and no fire from - the hospital compound
is a direct quote that I took from the Doctors Without Borders
website. So that tells me that the U.S. shot at a hospital and
continued to shoot even when there were no shots being fired
from the hospital. Im not going to sit here and pretend that
I know what its like to be in the warzone because I dont. I
can put it into words, but living in a situation when Im being
shot at and Im shooting others is just not something I can
emotionally and genuinely understand because Ive never been
in that situation. I can only try my best to see it from a soldiers
perspective. Every time you are getting shot at and every time
you go into a building, there is a chance that you are not going to
come back out because you never completely know whats in that
building until you are in there.
Im not one for conspiracy theories, but I can smell the bull
from all the way in New Hampshire. This is my theory of what
actually happened. The U.S. Army got intel that some sort of
terrorist leader was in there and decided that his possible death
was more important than the 42 innocent lives that they took.
There is no way that they did not know that was a Doctors
Without Borders Hospital. Its not even logical to think that the
U.S. is telling the truth here. Doctors Without Borders is calling it
a war crime, in which I fully agree with them.
Do I think it was the soldiers fault who were bombing and
shooting at the hospital? Not necessarily. They could have just
been following orders, but thats what the Nazis said when they
were massacring thousands of people. I understand that there is
a chain of command in the Army, and, that for safety reasons, it is
imperative to listen and obey the chain of command. Someone is
definitely to blame but the U.S. wont give that person up. As of
April, the Doctors Without Borders website posted questions that
were still unanswered by the U.S. military.

Here are a few of the biggest unanswered questions that I took

right from the website.
How do you justify that no court martial is recommended in
response to the killing of 42 people and considering the protected
status of the hospital? This looks bad on the U.S. Army. They
killed innocent people in a hospital. We think its our job to
police the world. We police the world solely for our best interest
not for the best interest of that world.
Does the U.S. consider the actions of U.S. forces to be
negligent, and if not, why? Thats a pretty basic yes or no and
then a bit of a description as to why kind of question. If you cant
answer that, either youre an idiot or you know
the answer and its one that will make you look
bad.
Why was the attack not called off before the
AC-130 completed its mission? Who would
All About have been responsible to call off the attack of an
AC-130 deprived of its essential communication
capacity operating in a densely populated area?
And why didnt he/she? In my humble opinion
they werent going to stop shooting until their
expected target was dead.
For the Army not to give the victims an answer to their most
basic questions makes me think a couple of things. They dont
care or their answers would make things worse. Its probably a
little bit of both. The U.S. military calls the bombing human
error. Basically, according to the Huffington Post, they bombed
the wrong building. Doctors Without Borders called the U.S.
military in an attempt to call off the fire. If I read the timetable
correctly it took the U.S. Army almost an hour to stop firing on
the hospital after Doctors Without Borders made first contact
with the Army. This is, according to the call log, which is a bit
different than what the U.S. Army said. They said that it took
about 30 minutes, which is still ridiculously wrong. Now Im not
a communications expert, but I can send a text or make a phone
call pretty quick. It blows my mind that it took 40 minutes to
stop the attack. You can get a pizza delivered faster than that in
America.
ISIS has certainly made this war particularly dirty with forcing
children to wear explosive suicide vests into malls to kill people.
Keep in mind that I am not saying that this is ISIS related at all,
Im only using them as an example of fighting dirty. All Im saying
is that I can understand that it can be difficult to fight fair in a
war where the other side isnt fighting fair. Whether or not its
right or wrong is irrelevant; its fact. People waste way too much
time arguing if something is right or wrong when its a fact. You
cant change a fact. Its not fair for ISIS to be brainwashing and
murdering people. Its not fair that they are using children as
explosives to murder people.
However, what bothers me about the U.S. is that we pretend to
be so much higher, freer and better than everyone else. We are
no more righteous or just than any European country. Just look at
Stanford University. If youre a male student there and you rape
a female its just a slap on the wrist if that. Good to know since
Stanford was my second choice. Yes, that was a joke.
No country is innocent especially when it comes to war. We
play dirty just like everyone else except for maybe Canada. They
either dont play dirty or they are real good at hiding it.
Some people dont believe facts when I write them, so I have
learned that I need to provide my sources so people can have the
direct web address instead of just typing in the subject to Google.
That way there is no reason to doubt me.

The Foxs ears are up with four things this week, and of course, the first one is to mention that next Tuesday is Election
Day in Hudson and Litchfield, our towns, and, of course, every city and town in the state.
Remember that the people you are voting for can and will have a major impact on your life, Government of the people,
by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth. --Abraham Lincoln. But to keep it for the people we have
to be sure that we elect those who represent us, the Fox knows that this is a primary and you can only vote in one party.
There are two ballots, but the winners on each ballot will be forwarded to the November election. Will the candidate that
your party has chosen win the next election? Who will be governor when the ballots are counted on Nov. 8? Which party
will be in that office?
The bottom line before moving on is get out and
vote ...
The Fox doesnt usually doesnt comment on
issues outside of our towns, but last week there was
a national event. Maybe event is a bad word, but
how can our president allow the president of the
Philippines to tell him off. While those were not the
words, maybe go to hxxl (yes, a bad word) would be
a truer representation. The Fox might have reminded
Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte that, in 2014,
the U.S. gave his country $206 million; in 2015, $176
million; in 2016, $184 million; and projected for
next year is $188 million. Money makes the world
go around or does it? Newspaper staff mentioned

Letters- continued from page 4

October and then in November, before Veterans Day/Thanksgiving Day and
then in the first week of December before Christmas. Its intended to be an
Open Letter to all politicians and government leaders, in and out of New
Hampshire; if it gets read that far away or at all, anywhere. Its also intended
to reflect on Memorial Day for those veterans whose lives were lost in their
service.
There is a belief becoming more widespread that pertains to our government
and military of Stop Making More New Enemies, to which Ive added Stop
Making Disabled Veterans. I am a 70 year old Vietnam Era Veteran, but not
disabled in any way.
To the politicians and government leaders, Stop sending the sons and
daughters of every other family but your own into Harms Way, Stop the
political/corporate propaganda that our Military is defending our freedoms
and way of life. Our freedoms and way of life are not in as much danger
from out-side, as much as they might be from inside. On this Veterans Day
2016, also remember that our government is responsible for the deaths of
two million or more innocent civilian men, women, and children in the
Vietnam/Laos use of our military services and currently beginning with the
illegal and immoral invasion of Iraq and the senseless conflicts since then.
Our government and military are as guilty of those two Holocausts, as were
the Germans in the 2nd World War. Innocents slaughtered by two different
countries/governments, are still innocents slaughtered, theres no escaping that
fact just because we claim ourselves to be a righteous society/government.
God Bless all veterans who have returned to their families; to mothers
and fathers, mandate that youll no longer suffer through family events and
holidays with cemetery visits and empty seats at the dinner tables. Every
American citizen must take a stand against using our military services in the
ploy of protecting our freedoms and way of life, what our military services
are protect is the American corporate interests in foreign countries. To the
New Hampshire Senators and Congress-persons in Washington, D.C., Stop
making new enemies, stop making disabled veterans, stop making homeless
veterans, stop making veterans who suffer at the hands of the VA and who
commit suicide.
Jerry Gutekunst, Hudson

On Behalf of Josh Bourdon

for Executive Council
I choose to support Joshua Bourdons candidacy for the New Hampshire
Executive Council. I could say that I support Joshua because he acquired a
great deal of experience dealing with the local administration as Councilorat-Large for Derry or because in 2015 Joshua was the recipient of the Edward
M. Kennedy award for Legislator of the Year. I believe Joshua acquire his
passion to help others from the influence of his ancestors. He grew in a family
dedicated to make the difference for the residents of the Granite State since
the 1930s. His great-grandfather, Eli Bourdon, ran for Governor and his great
uncle Earl was famous political activist for the senior citizens rights and labor
unions. But those are not the fundamental reason of my support. I respect
Joshua for his capacity to overcome his personal challenges and use them as a
growing experience that is why he is the Co-founder of the Run for Recovery
to benefit the Derry Friendship Center, a non-profit organization that provides
support for those in recovery from addictions. I most admire his selfless
volunteer work at the Rotary Club; he is the founder Spinathon for Hunger
where all proceeds going to the Sonshine Soup Kitchen and First Baptist
Church Community Food Pantry in Derry. Joshua is a family man his wife
Leah is his most stronger collaborator both together are the founders of Keep
our Veterans Warm. Joshua also is proving his leadership at his work. He
is a division manager at Core Medical Group, one of the premier healthcare
staffing firms in the State and beyond. With proud enthusiasm, I support Josh
Bourdon as a candidate for the Executive Council
Alejandro Urrutia, Hudson

is that the concerns I have need to be voiced and Im just not sure how to find
an avenue to do that. So, let me explain
The new election cycle is upon us and residents have filed their intentions
for office. One of those people is Steve Hellwig (R) Let me explain the various
issues with this candidate and why I mention them because honestly the
following should be made known as he should be unfit to represent us.
1) Mr. Hellwig filed his paperwork intent listing 6 Meadow Dr. as his address.
The reality is that Mr. Hellwig has not lived at that address for the past
two years. For the first year of not living there he would periodically show
up and then disappear again for a month. The second year Mr. Hellwig left
this property as a Zombie property left to decay, earlier this year Bank of
America repossessed this property. All one needs to do is stop by and see the
repossession notice on the window to know this is truthful. The one caveat
in this is that since the property has been repossessed, B.O.A has sent crew
to maintain the landscaping. They are unsure of how they will list the house
as it was left in shambles and disrepair. It was also left with full contents of
furniture, etc., in what can be described as filth.
I know this because I am the owner of 8 Meadow Dr. and the abutter of the
property.
Whats concerning to me is that, is he even a resident of the town now?
Why is he listing this as his home when he does even not live there?
2) Mr. Hellwig has an issue with non-payment of federal taxes.
Steve H. has been plagued for years with non-payment of his income taxes.
It is to the point a search of the property will show liens placed by the federal
government by doing a search on NHDeeds.com.
To add further to the proof of this a search of USA vs. Hellwig will show he
was sued for federal tax evasion by the Internal Revenue Service.
All public record.
3) Mr. Hellwigs past political behavior.
At one point Mr. Hellwig was a state representative as well as on the
Hudson Budget Committee. While he was serving in this position he was
pulled over by Hudson P.D. for an infraction and it turned out that Mr.
Hellwigs license was under revocation from his Massachusetts days. While
Mr. Hellwig was being arrested he had allegedly made threats against the
police warning them that they Were making a big mistake as he wrote their
budget. It was referred to the A.G. office for investigation albeit the case was
subsequently dropped. This led to Mr. Hellwig suing the government because
he felt that he shouldnt be held accountable in NH for what he had done or
not done in Massachusetts.
I ask, is this the type of person that we want representing our district?
While he lacks moral behavior in his own life, he wants to write laws for the
people of NH?
This reeks of the same type of personality that we saw of Tom Alciere (sic?)
when he got elected and then it turned out he had a website that advocated for
the killing of police and legalization of drugs.
The reality of this is that there should be a way for people to raise concerns
when these types of people run for office to go to the capitol and represent us.
Instead there is no way to dig up this information to know the type of person
we are voting for.
Let me end this with saying that, please dont assume that I am simply
attempting to discredit a republican conservative. A simple search will show
that both my spouse and I are in fact registered Republicans. I just have a
lot of concerns about an individual that I have had the luck to have been
neighbors with.
K. Maynard, Hudson

Shawn Jasper: A Man of his Word

Im writing this letter in support of State Representative Shawn Jasper.
Lately there has been a lot of misinformation mailed to our homes from
out of state big money PACs. I would urge you to disregard all of their
lies. I had the pleasure of serving with Shawn for both of my terms in the
House, including the last two years when he was Speaker. Shawn is very
knowledgeable about the State and the laws governing the House. He is very
fair and really puts the State above all.
We have had to make some tough decisions in the past few years and they
are only going to get tougher. We need a leader who will stand up to special
interest groups and who will stand behind the citizens of the State. We need
someone who will think of us first and not the people in Texas or wherever
those mailers are coming from.
Shawn is a good man honest and trustworthy. He is a man of his word
and isnt afraid to think for himself. I would urge you to vote for Shawn Jasper
to represent our District 37 on Tuesday September 13.

In August I sent you a release about the New Hampshire Army National
Guards Eighth Annual Retiree Luncheon on Sept. 15 in Concord. Last
Friday I met a NHARNG retiree who handed me a clipping from your Aug.
19 Hudson~Litchfield News. He is planning to attend because of you printing
our release. On behalf of the entire Retiree Luncheon Committee, we thank
you.

Working Women of World War II

Expressing Some Election Concerns

American Rosie the Riveter Association is trying to locate women who

worked on the home front during WWII. Thousands of women worked to
support the war effort as riveters, welders, electricians, inspectors in plants,
sewing clothing and parachutes for the military, ordnance workers, rolling
bandages, clerical, farming, and many other jobs such as volunteer workers
collecting scrap metals and other critical materials. These women have stories

My name is George Lambert and I am seeking the Republican nomination

for State Senate District 18, representing Litchfield and Manchester. I am in
the unfortunate position of being up against two very nice guys who are also
seeking the nomination. This letter is to highlight why I think that I am the
better candidate. I was the Republican nominee in the last election cycle and
have name recognition in Manchester as well as Litchfield. The Democratic
opponent in the general election has over 100,000 already to spend on the
election, and even though she had a significant war chest last election cycle, I
was less than 1,000 votes from keeping her out of that seat. I believe that if I
am the nominee that I can win this race.
If elected senator, I have the understanding, experience and contacts to be
an effective senator. I have sponsored a large number of bills in Concord and
understand the process very well. I have had bills signed by the Governor that
I worked through both the house, and senate that have affected every citizen in
NH like HB222 which reduced the broad based rule making authority of all
departments in New Hampshire, prohibiting them from raising fees without
going back to the legislature. That bill was passed despite being initially
opposed by everyone who readPLLC
it as too all encompassing. When the fine
detail was realized, it was good for the citizens of New Hampshire, and passed
by both the house and senate.
While both of the other candidates have great attributes I believe that I
will make a better senator. I have built relationships with state leaders in the
areas on lower taxation, better education, and more personal freedom with less
state government intervention in your life. I have personal endorsements, the
Co-Founder of the Tea Party Express Howard Kallugian, three of the recent
recipients of the Legislator of the Year award from the NH Liberty Alliance,
JR Hoell, Dan Itse and Mark Warden. I have the endorsement of current
senators including campaign contributor John Reagan. I have organizational
endorsements from numerous organizations who support guns, right to work,
lower taxes and more personal freedom. Mark Warden former chairman of
the NH Liberty Alliance, and recipient of the NH Liberty Alliance legislator of
the year described me as if elected, George would be the most liberty Senator
in the nation. The question is not can I do the job, it is can I get the job.
Litchfield will likely have the deciding vote in who is the Republican
nominee in this race, and has
two excellent choices from that
community. I believe that I stand
above head and shoulders above
Rep. Bohem in both my ability to
get elected and after being elected in
being effective senator for District
18. The Senate is a small group
PLLC where my unique dedication to
results will bear fruit for this district,
something that we have not seen
from our current Senator Soucy.
I ask for your vote for me, George
Lambert, in the upcoming primary
so that we can have a Senator who
understands and will work hard for
Litchfield and Manchester. If you
have questions, I ask you to call
me at 603-635-4910 and ask them
directly. I would be proud to serve
the community of Litchfield as her
Senator if chosen by you her voters,
and I thank you for your vote.

Politics has many side and responsibilities, but I consider the true priority
to be the cut of the man who looks at all sides for the betterment of the people
he represents. I would like to comment about one man I feel will fill these
requirements and some of the reasoning behind my thoughts.
This gentleman is Josh Bourdon.
Having been involved in many town events, I have come to know Josh as a
political figure and also a man to be admired for other reasons as well. Family
is the center of his life (as it should be); if he is at an event you can count on
his family to be in tow and nearby. You can tell at first glance they are an
admirable family and support each other. You can see this in their eyes and
actions. They work as a team - even the little ones!
One of the responsibilities they have pursued is our Veterans. Being a
veteran myself, this issue is close to my heart. They as a family have created an
organization called
Keep our Vets Warm and have collected 1,000-plus articles of clothing,
working with the Liberty House as a distribution point.
Joshs additional support in the political arena in this town has been to help
steadily increase the tax credit available for veteran home owners in Derry.
His dedication to Vets is also evident in the fact he is front-and-center in
most VFW, American Legion and other related organizations, supporting our
troops both in the past and those serving on the front line today.
Closer to home, Joshs daily life also includes a selfless dedication to his
brother, a veteran of 10 years who has recently retired and is transitioning back
into civilian life.
So, if you are looking for the stand up Man, the one that will listen, weigh
all that is true and relevant to you and this town, support this man. I for one
say he will not let you down!

USDA Pilot Program

to Provide Housing for
People in Recovery
submitted by the Ofce of
Congresswoman Annie Kuster
U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced
on Sept. 1 that New Hampshire has been chosen to host two USDA
pilot programs that will improve access to affordable transitional
housing to people in recovery for substance use disorders. One of the
programs would make USDA-owned properties available for purchase
at below market value rates to qualified non-profits providing housing
to homeless people in recovery. The other pilot program would
increase access to affordable USDA rental units by making rental
assistance available if they are occupied by a person taking part in a
drug court program.
No one can be successful in recovery from a substance use
disorder if they dont have a place to safely and comfortably call
home, said Congresswoman Kuster. As Ive met with treatment
providers and recovery experts throughout New Hampshire, Ive
heard time and time again about the challenges of finding housing for
those in recovery. Todays announcement by Secretary Vilsack is an
important step toward supporting all aspects of the recovery process.
As the cofounder and co-chair of the Bipartisan Task Force to
Combat the Heroin Epidemic, Congresswoman Kuster has been
leading the charge to address the opioid addiction epidemic in New
Hampshire. She was instrumental in the fight to pass 18 bills in
the House to address the opioid crisis as part of the Comprehensive
Addiction and Recovery Act. In recognition of her leadership on this
issue, Kuster was appointed to the conference committee that worked
to combine the House bills with a Senate counterpart to produce the
final version of CARA that was signed into law.

KA ARCHER

Sunday is the 15th

anniversary of 9-11-2001. It
is a day when the tapestry of
emotions, previously woven
on that horrific day 15 years
ago, floats up and touches that
place in your psyche where
memories never heal nor fade.
There is seldom more than one
day in a persons lifetime where
they will always remember
where they were when an event happened
that touched the core of their nation and of
themselves.
On Sept. 11, 2001, my wife and I were a half
hour out of Las Vegas on Northwest Flight 1188
bound for Detroit. Having upgraded to first class,
we watched the chief steward prepare to serve
breakfast when his phone rang, summoning him
to the cockpit. He exited with a strange, pale
look on his face and immediately commenced to
stow the serving gear. We could tell something
was wrong. Was there a problem with the
plane? Then the captain, in a voice I can still
hear to this very day, came over the intercom.
The United States is under attack. The World
Trade Center towers have been knocked down
and the Pentagon has been bombed. The FAA
has ordered all civilian aircraft in the United
States to be grounded and to land at the nearest
airport. We will be landing at Salt Lake City.
We will have more information for you when
we are on the ground. God protect the United
States of America. Thats how my Sept. 11
started. Every American alive that day remembers
theirs. Its seared into their DNA. If you know
country music, Alan Jackson sang it best. Where
were you when the world stopped turning that
September day?
As I look back at that day and the days
immediately following, certain images emerge that
fill me with great pride, reverence and, yes, Ill
dare say it, hope. I saw the disappearance, albeit
for a short time, of the hyphenated American.
There were no longer Italian-Americans, IrishAmericans, Black-Americans or HispanicAmericans. There were just Americans. The
janitor outside the Salt Lake City Airport restroom,
who spoke little English, needed to vent his anger
and frustration. He needed to tell someone how
he felt and I was there to listen. The tears in his
eyes communicated all that needed to be said.
I saw the power and courage of the average
American. I saw images of the rescue workers
running into the burning buildings while others

Guest

Editorial
were running out. I saw the grim-faced steel and
construction workers dragging their equipment
toward the seven-story smoldering pile under
which thousands lay. I saw the dust covered
survivors digging with their bare hands for
their buried comrades until they dropped from
exhaustion. I saw so many average Americans
compelled to join the rescue that they had to be
turned away. And, of course, I saw the power and
courage of those average Americans on United
Flight 93 who made the choice to go down
fighting.
I saw Righteous anger. This is anger so deep as
to make strong men cry. I saw America clench
its fists and rise as one. I could only think of the
words of the Battle Hymn of the Republic, He
hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible
swift sword.
I saw Old Glory raised at Ground Zero. I
saw my countrys flag on every house and street
corner. People sang the national anthem with
tears in their eyes. I even saw a Republican
president embrace a Democrat senate majority
leader on the floor of Congress. The heinous
attack of 9/11, instead of bringing the USA to its
knees, had galvanized us. We stood together,
One Nation, Under God, Indivisible.
That was 15 years ago. And human nature is
as it is. Sadly, the chattering classes and talking
heads regained their composure and changed the
subject. The news media stopped showing the
horrendous attack because it was making people
angry. Sept. 11 became history, subject
to constant analysis, dissection and revision
depending on political bent. Whether by chance
or design, one would think we are more divided
now than the day before 9/11. The turmoil of the
presidential election. Continued terror attacks
at home. The attacks on police officers, the
distrust of government and the tyranny of political
correctness. Some might say we are no longer
the people of 9/11. But I refuse to accept that.
We are the same people. What we saw in the
aftermath of 9/11 was who we are! We must tell
our children and grandchildren what we saw and
how we felt. They need to know that that strength
still exists and that the better angels of our nature
will be there when needed. God Bless the United
States of America.

Community Fair Alerts Parents and Students to the Resources Available

Staff photos by Lynne Ober

by Lynne Ober
This is going to be a big culture shock for my daughter, Olivia,
said Craig Bailey. Olivia went to a small private kindergarten last
year, and now she will be a first grader with more classmates in her
classroom than were in her entire kindergarten, so this is a little bit
overwhelming.
The Baileys, including a smiling, energetic Olivia, were at the
community fair held between HO Smith and Library schools last
week.
Heather Parsons, the district at risk coordinator, who has
organized this event for the past two years, said that holding the fair
simultaneously with the Meet N Greet ensured that a large number
of parents and children would also be introduced to many resources
available.
Parsons was correct because all available parking along the side
streets and in the SAU parking lot were filled.
Linda Philcrantz, nurse at Library Street
School, turned her office space into a free vision
check station for participants. Theres a line out
the door. We need to thank the Lions Club for
providing this service.
In addition to having vision checked,
immunizations were also available. Parsons said
she tried to make the event as comprehensive as
possible. Everyone is so busy. There are lots
of resources, but until you need them, you may
not even look for them. This fair should make
people more aware of whats in our community.
Bailey said that it wasnt quite as bad as
drinking water from a fire hydrant, but there was
a lot to absorb and noted his family was picking
up information packets.
Elaine Yen, reading specialist at the Early
Learning Center, has long been active in the
Hudson School district as an advocate for
reading and was available to talk to parents
about expectations for student reading. Staff
from the Childrens Room at the George H.
and Ella M. Rodgers Memorial Library was also
available and, within the first hour, had signed
up 17 new readers for library cards.
A number of organizations were available
to talk with parents about health care options.

not, health care options were available. This

works with the school-based mentoring program to provide help for

students with academics and can provide outside tutors if needed.
Parsons said she actually works on this all year. Staying in contact
with available resources, arranging for raffles, getting students who
need assistance in touch with the best resource takes time. There is
a real need for families to know about available resources.
Kristina Young attended with her two sons. Drew will enter
kindergarten and Noah, 3, is just planning. Noah insisted on
wearing Drews backpack to the event. Drew got to see his
classroom and was delighted when some of his friends also came
in. Theres a lot of information. Young, as did most of the parents,
had informational packets in her arms. I learned about new
organizations.
Will this be back next year? According to Parsons, yes. This has
been very successful.
If you asked the kids about the best part, they might have
answered it was getting free lollipops or getting to play in the
playground after touring the community fair.

Ulery Announces his Candidacy

Jordan Ulery is pleased to announce his candidacy for the
Republican Primary on Sept. 13, next Tuesday. This is a special
year in politics with much resting on the outcome of each of the
races. I am running to return to the New Hampshire General
Court to represent the people of Hudson and Pelham in the
House.
It would be my honor to serve Hudson and Pelham. The real
work in Concord takes place in the Committee, not so much on
the floor in debate. For the past several years I have worked hard
in the Ways and Means Committee to prevent, or try to at least,
the many, too many, increases in taxes and fees imposed upon
each of us by the liberal factions of our State government. I have
supported spending taxpayer dollars wisely where appropriate,
allowing discounts and credits to stimulate business enterprise
activities. These activities then result in more, and higher paying,
jobs for all Granite Staters. In addition to sitting on the Ways and
Means Committee I have participated in many sub-committee
meetings, attended annual national training classes in state finances
and taxation and have forged relationships with the stalwarts of the
conservative movement nationwide. I have previously served on the
Criminal Justice Committee and on the Statutory Joint Ethics Committee
as well as serving on the Special Committee to investigate the Liquor
Commission, chaired by Rep. Lynne Ober.

I sponsored and got passed in the General Court a

petition for an Article V Balanced Budget Amendment to
the U.S. Constitution.
There is a strong movement on the progressive (read
regressive) left to institute a broad based income or
sales tax in New Hampshire. I have led the fight against
taxes in Ways and Means in the past and will in the
future. I was even able to get two of the most liberal,
tax prone Democrats on my Committee (Cooney and
Almy) to admit: I am surprised to admit this, but I have
to agree with the arguments of Representative Ulery
as I explained why certain tax proposals offered were a
bad idea! I am a member of the bipartisan Hillsborough
County Executive Board where I supported the institution
of a drug treatment program for suitable candidates at
the County Jail. I also serve on the Planning Board in
Hudson, am active in the State Knights of Columbus, run
a very small investigative agency and have lived in Hudson since 1973
with my wife. Our two sons attended Hudson primary and elementary
schools. I can be reached at repulery@comcast.net; or you can follow
me on Twitter @repulery or on Facebook at Representative Jordan Ulery.
Thank you for your consideration; on Sept. 13 look for Jordan Ulery at
the bottom of the alphabetical Representatives ballot.

New Pastor, New Beginnings at

St. Mark the Evangelist Parish in Londonderry

Fr. Mike being congratulated by Fr. Mark Gagne,

Dean of the Rockingham deanery, after his installation
as pastor at St, Mark the Evangelist Parish.
This is Fr. Mikes first assignment as pastor after
his ordination to the priesthood for the Diocese
of Manchester by Bishop Peter Libasci on June
7, 2014. His first appointment was as parochial
vicar of Saint Elizabeth Seaton Parish in Bedford.
While there, Fr. Mike assisted at St. Marks during
their First Communion weekend in the spring of
2015. He was assigned to be priest-administrator
of St. Marks on Dec. 9, 2015.
When this position of pastor opened up, I
applied for it, Fr. Mike said. By the grace of
God, I was chosen to lead this parish. There is

so much potential here, so much to do and the

people are so open and receptive. There is such
an energy and vibrancy here.
One of the first things Fr. Mike decided to do
when he arrived during the season of Advent
was to send out postcards to all 1,500 parish
families, inviting them all to a meet and greet,
and about 400 people showed up that night!
We were ready for a renewal and he has
certainly stepped up to the plate, said Deacon
Lee Abbott, who has been a member of the
parish for 27 years and deacon for 14 years.
The people have been tripping over themselves
to help. The hallmark of the parish has always
been generosity and hospitality and thats
expanding on both fronts. Fr. Mike has gotten
people excited about their faith again. He has
a listening heart and is very respectful of all,
Deacon Lee continued.
Fr. Michael was named pastor on June 1,
2016, and his installation mass took place
on June 18, followed by a celebratory parish
barbecue.
At only 33 years of age, Fr. Michael may be
new to leading a parish, but he brings with
him many key skills learned and cultivated as a
student, in the business world, in seminary and
in his prior assignments. In fact, it seems each
path he chose led him to his priestly vocation. Fr.
Michael, who is from Ohio, graduated from the
University of Toledo in 2005 and then accepted a
position with BAE in Nashua, which brought him
to New Hampshire. While searching for a church
to call home, he found St. Kathryn Parish in
Hudson. He was an active parishioner for almost
seven years and helped build a thriving young
adult ministry focused on service and fellowship
prior to entering St. Mary
Seminary in Baltimore, Md.
It was a special honor for me
to be present as Fr. Mike was
installed as pastor of St. Marks,
said Father Gary Belliveau,
pastor of Corpus Christi Parish
in Portsmouth and former pastor
of St. Kathryn Parish in Hudson
when Fr. Mike first arrived in
New Hampshire.
The fact that a young,
newly ordained priest would
be entrusted with a large parish
in a young and growing area
of our diocese speaks well of
the confidence that our bishop
has placed in Fr. Mike, said Fr.
Gary. His business and HR
background, from his college
education and work experience
prior to discerning his vocation
and entering seminary will
certainly serve him well as a
wise steward of the material
and administrative aspects
of running a parish, but, I
believe that his personality,
joyful enthusiasm, zeal for the
Lord and his church is what
has already made Fr. Mike
an effective and engaging
shepherd for the fortunate
people of St Marks.
It was Fathers Day
weekend when Fr. Mike was
installed, and, I have to admit,
I felt like a very proud father as
I watched the synergy between
the new pastor and his people,
and felt the powerful stirring
of the holy spirit in the church,
filled to capacity.
St. Marks business manager
Sue Joncas has worked for the
parish for five years. Fr. Mike
was welcomed with open
arms. Hes very positive and
brings a breath of fresh air.
Hes very busy and its a big
job but hes adjusted very well.
Hes engaging with all ages,
he relates well with everyone,
she said.
It is clear that Fr. Mike took
these words to heart spoken by
Bishop Libasci in his homily
during Fr. Mikes ordination:
Impart to everyone the
word of God that you receive
with joy. Let what you teach
be nourishment for the
people of God. By word and
example, you will build up the
Church of Christ. The words
of the gospel may bear fruit in
human hearts nourished from
your altar.

Bill Lonergan Takes the Reins at Campbell

Litchfield

with Rich Lascelles

Sometimes successful people dont take the traditional route to

their careers. Sometimes family and life choices present forks in the
road. Such is the case with new Campbell High School principal
William Bill Lonergan, a self-described college drop-out who
got encouragement from a co-worker and felt a renewed sense of
commitment to a career in education.
Bill Lonergan was born and raised in Derry. After graduating from
Pinkerton Academy he started college at Northeastern University in
Boston and hated it. Giving up on college he went to work in a shoe
store for Converse. After selling shoes for a few years and having his
own store he was encouraged by his boss to go back to school and
become a teacher.
So Bill, now with a feel for the real world, went back to UNH and
got his teaching degree. At 27, he became the first student teacher
in the English Department back at Pinkerton. After becoming a fullfledged teacher, he spent 11 years at the Academy working mostly
with struggling learners.
After his grandmother became ill in Florida, he moved his young

Vote

family on a wing and a prayer

down to help with her care. He
got a job in an inner city school
district that was almost entirely
African-American. He spent
three very rewarding years there
learning that it was possible for
a small town guy with a Boston
accent to relate to students from

very different backgrounds.

After the death of his grandmother, Bill and his wife put
their future to a vote of their children and moved back to New
Hampshire. He was fortunate to get hired back at Pinkerton and
soon began working on a school within a school the Freshman
academy. After five years he applied to become the PA Dean of
Students. After not being selected and much reflection, he applied
for the Campbell position.
Lonergan is very excited about coming to Campbell. CHS is much
smaller than he has experienced which presents both opportunities
as well as challenges. He looks forward to getting to know more of
the staff as well as the students which he couldnt do at Pinkerton.
The challenge is providing a wide variety of educational experiences
that meet the needs of both college-bound as well as non-college
occupational trade programs in a small school environment. He also
will encourage online and other extended learning opportunities
when appropriate.

will be followed in how students are
treated.
Bill wants to reach out to the
community to encourage their
involvement at CHS. He wants
to reach out particularly to senior
citizens because he feels they have
much to offer.
Lonergan was very impressed
during the interview process by
hearing over and over how he
would be amazed at the kids at
Campbell. He said he hopes to
measure his success by how many
of his staff and students are recognized for their achievements in the
future.
After one week back at school, when asked about the new
principal, some students said they havent seen any big changes (a
good thing), but they are impressed with how often they see him.
We see him all the time! was a common statement. Welcome to

Brenton Street Fire Ruled Accidental

submitted by Litcheld Fire Rescue
At approximately 1 a.m. on Sept. 3, Litchfield Fire received
several calls for a building fire on Brenton Street. DC Travis

heavy fire showing. A second alarm was requested immediately
bringing mutual aid from Londonderry, Hudson, Derry, Manchester,
Merrimack and Bedford. Auburn and Windham covered the

The two occupants of the building were able to self evacuate and
attempted to put the fire out with portable fire extinguishers. There
were no injuries, and the cause of the fire was determined to be
accidental by the NH State Fire Marshals office.

Autumn Roadside Clean-up

The Hudson Sustainability Committees next clean-up date is
tentatively scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 15, from 10 a.m. to noon.
They will meet at the Hudson Speedway Parking Lot (120 Old
Derry Rd.) to clean Old Derry Road and Robinson Road (the roads
adjacent to the speedway). In addition, town residents are asked to
take a little time and clean up the streets in their own neighborhood.
Winter will be here before we know it and any trash that is on the
roads will be covered in snow, ice and sand. It will be pushed
around by snow plows and be an even bigger eyesore when the
snow melts in the spring. Place all trash and recyclables in your
own collection receptacles to be picked up. Take before-andafter photos of the areas you clean to post on Facebook at Hudson
Sustainability.
Follow these tips when
cleaning up your neighborhood:
Wear protective gloves and
bright clothing or reflective vest.
Be aware of traffic as you walk
roadside.
Collect trash and recyclables
in separate bags.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) applauded
Sept. 2s announcement of approximately $1.5
million in federal funding for New Hampshire
youth substance abuse prevention programs.
The Drug-Free Communities Support Program,
run by the White House Office of National Drug
Control Policy, will distribute 12 grants of up to
$125,000 to community coalitions across the
Granite State for preventing youth substance use.
Senator Shaheen used her position on the Senate
Appropriations Committee to push for more DFC
funding for New Hampshire.
Far too many young people are falling victim
to drugs that lead to lives of substance misuse
and overdose. The new DFC funds will be used
by organizations working on the ground across
the Granite State to engage young people in a
dialogue about substance misuse before they try
drugs. Now more than ever we need resources
for those on the frontlines of the opioid crisis and
I will continue to push for additional funding so
Granite State families have the support they need.

Of the 12 New Hampshire grants, two are

first-time awards. The new grantees are: Reality
Check Inc. in Cheshire County and Haverhill Area
Substance Misuse Prevention Coalition.
Continuing grants in New Hampshire were
awarded to Merrimack Safeguard; Southern
Rockingham Coalition of Youth Prevention of
Marijuana and Prescription Drug Abuse project;
Somersworth Prevention Coalition; Raymond
Coalition for Youth; Winchesters Weve Got
Your Back Coalition; Franklin Mayors Drug and
Alcohol Abuse Task Force; Monadnock Alcohol
and Drug Abuse Coalition of Keene; Nashua
Prevention Coalition; Bridging the Gaps-Rochester
Community Coalition for Alcohol and Drug
Prevention; and All Together of Lebanon.
The DFC Support Program is the federal
governments flagship effort to support
communities in preventing youth substance use
through critical local partnerships. The program
is uniquely structured to ensure effectiveness and
sustainability, requiring all grantees to provide a
dollar-for-dollar match in non-federal funds.

Brain Foods: Eating for Academic Success

(BPT) - What do the foods your children eat have to do with
the grades they bring home? Surprisingly, more than many
people think.
Research shows that certain vitamins and nutrients support
brain health and development. That means the snacks, meals
and supplements your child consumes can give them an academic edge, in the classroom and in life.
Lauren Zimet, director of the Early Insights Healthy Foundations Program and a mother herself, understands how food
can empower the body and brain. Here are Zimets top picks
for brain foods that can help support your childs learning and
development.
Powerful proteins
Protein for breakfast and lunch will not only curb hunger
pangs throughout the school day, but will also help sustain
mental energy and level moods. Kid-friendly protein ideas
include eggs, organic chicken/turkey/beef, non-GMO nitratefree turkey bacon, and beans. Have leftovers from last night?
Dinners in the U.S. traditionally have more protein than other
meals, so eating last nights leftovers in the morning is a fun brainboosting breakfast option.
Incredible carbohydrates
Some examples of healthy complex carbohydrates to incorporate
into your childs diet are brown rice, quinoa and oats. These types
of carbs elevate levels of serotonin in the brain, which has a calming effect. Need bread? Look for organic options so you can feel
confident your child is consuming the nutrients they need and not
the additional chemicals that are commonly found in conventional
breads and grains.
Fantastic fats
Did you know the brain is about 60 percent fat? That means
when your kids eat healthy fats, it can support brain function. Pack
snacks with nuts, seeds and avocado. When cooking, replace unhealthy hydrogenated oils with healthier options such as extra-virgin
olive oil or coconut oil. Eat more meals with cold-water fish like
salmon to get more omega-3 essential fats, which play an integral
role in promoting cellular health and brain development.
Mighty nuts and seeds
These nutritional powerhouses provide generous amounts of
calories, fats, complex carbohydrates, protein, vitamins, minerals

and fiber. Kids can enjoy making their own healthy seed-nut snack
mixes, then package in baggies or small containers. Also, try swapping traditional peanut butter for other nut butters like almond or
cashew for a healthier take on PB&J.
Super supplements
Omega-3 fish oil supplements are becoming more and more
recognized as part of a healthy family diet. They are a convenient
source of the omega-3s - especially EPA and DHA - that are so
crucial to optimal brain health and function. Its important to know
where your fish oil comes from and how it is purified. Nordic
Naturals specializes in purified, molecularly distilled oils that come
in various formulations, including a variety of options for children.
Learn more at www.nordicnaturals.com.
Vivacious veggies and fruit
Real, whole foods like fresh fruits and vegetables support brain
health while calming the nervous system during times of stress.
Blueberries, raspberries and strawberries are full of antioxidants and
vitamin C, which research shows helps regulate cortisol, a hormone
responsible for stress. And dont forget bananas! Not only are they
full of potassium, but they also help the body produce hormones
that help reduce stress and promote better sleep.
By paying a little attention to the foods your child eats, youll be
set for a healthy start to a brain-smart school year!

What Schools are Doing

About Childhood Obesity
According to Harvard Medical School, scientists have
known for some time that a full stomach is only part of
what causes someone to feel satisfied after a meal; the
brain must also receive a series of signals from digestive
hormones secreted by the gastrointestinal tract. Eating
slowly may prevent children from overeating later in the
day. That can be achieved by having more time to eat at
lunch.
Teaching children how to prepare healthy foods:
Some schools are taking the mystery out of food preparation by showing students how foods are being prepared
in the cafeteria kitchen, while others include basic
culinary education in their curricula and extracurricular
offerings.
Childhood obesity may be an epidemic, but schools
are in the position to curb obesity in young students.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

indicates that childhood obesity rates have more than
doubled in children and quadrupled in adolescents in the last 30 years. This is happening in
spite of indications that childhood obesity could
reduce life expectancy by five years or more.
Many children are not participating in free-time
and Child Care
physical activity and, according to Blank Childrens Hospital, only 25 percent of children in
the United States eat a healthy diet.
Considering children spend six or more hours

education classes: Information is power, and one way to
help curb obesity rates is to
give children the data needed
to make informed decisions.
Some schools have implemented
healthy eating and exercise initiatives and made nutrition and
other health-related topics key
parts of health curricula.
Modifying school lunch
offerings: Schools are taking
inventory of not only the foods
they offer on lunch menus, but
also the feel of the cafeteria
so that healthy eating is encouraged. This may include
removing vending machines
that contain unhealthy snacks
or providing a greater array of
offerings that include fresh fruits,
whole grains and lean protein
sources. Some schools also are
investing in components, such
as salad bars, to store, prepare
and display healthy foods.
Extending lunch hours:
Giving students adequate time
to eat and digest can promote
healthier eating habits. Research
indicates that eating slowly can
help a person feel full faster.

Alvirne Offers Seminar

to Guide the
College-Bound Athlete
submitted by Karen Bonney
The road to college for athletes is no longer lined with traditional mile markers. It
used to be that batting averages, points per game, or yards per carry paved the way
for sports stars. Nowadays, one more percentage is carrying more and more weight.
Its called the grade point average.
The days of athletes dreaming to Be Like Mike and parents dreams of having it
pay for an education and a lucrative future for their child-student-athlete have vastly
changed over the last generation or so. In fact, there is a lot more work to hitting a
home run than just hitting home runs.
A seminar to prepare parents and athletes for the recruiting road ahead complete with all its bumps - will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 13, at 7:30 p.m.
at Alvirne High School. Guiding the College-Bound Athlete will provide
information and topics for every student-athlete in middle and high school and their
parents to educate and prepare them for opportunities and careers after graduation.
Many student-athletes who aspire to play at the college level are not familiar with
the ins and outs of academic requirements and eligibility as they need to be in
order to pursue their goals.
Guiding the College-Bound Athlete, a program designed by Rick Wire,
President of Dynamite Sports, a Pennsylvania-based corporation, is the father
of nine-year NFL veteran Coy Wire. This seminar will provide families with
information about the availability of athletic scholarships and the realities of the
college recruiting process.
According to his press release, Rick Wire found himself looking for answers when
his then 8-year-old son, Coy, started talking about being a college football star.
Wire hadnt attended college himself and decided he had better start preparing for
the future. He questioned other parents who had been through the process, looking
for pros and cons and ways to prepare financially. In the end, his son Coy earned
his scholarship to play football at Stanford University. Then in 2002, Coy was
drafted in the third round of the NFL draft by the Buffalo Bills where he played for
six seasons and then finished his career for the past three seasons as a captain and
player rep with the Atlanta Falcons.
Rick used his study to become a speaker and expert in college athletics and its
recruiting process. Then he created the Dynamite Sports Educational Recruiting
System, which combines academic preparation and athletic training with marketing
and recruiting strategies to navigate through the process. The plan provides
direction to high school athletes and parents, and staff development training
and resources to high school coaches and counselors to help all parties make
knowledgeable choices and decisions in college athletics and recruiting.
Rick Wire will present an hour-long seminar at 7:30 p.m. in Alvirne High Schools
gymnasium. Interested participants are asked to come early, if possible, to receive a
number of handouts and watch a powerful pre-program video.
For information about Dynamite Sports, go to www.dynamitesports.com.

Ross Terrio is
State Senate Candidate
My name is Ross Terrio and Im a
Republican candidate for State Senate District 18, which includes Litchfield and
Manchester. I am running because I care
deeply about our state and community. I
have served as a state representative and
school board member. I currently work as
a pharmacist at Catholic Medical Center. I
pride myself on working to get things done,
including working with anyone in order to
deliver results for my constituents. At the
center of everything I do is my commitment
to constituent service. I work diligently to
always return every phone call and e-mail.
If elected, I will work hard to address
these four priorities: First, bringing in
new energy projects to lower our electric
costs and help attract businesses to the
state. Second, pushing back against the

state downshifting costs to Litchfield and

Manchester, which causes our real estate
taxes to increase. Third, holding those
responsible for the contamination of
Litchfield water to address the pollution.
Fourth, dealing with the heroin epidemic.
My education includes an associate
degree in electronics, a bachelors degree in
pharmacy, a law degree and I have served
in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves.
I humbly ask for your vote on Tuesday,
Sept. 13, in the Republican primary. I
hope to meet you in person as I stand at
the Litchfield transfer station every Saturday
from about 9 a.m. until about 12 p.m.
For more information please visit my
website rossterrio.com and my Facebook
page Ross Terrio for State Senate.

Rockingham Area Youth Swim Team

Offers Balance of Fun and Hard Work
submitted by Madison Martin
Watching legendary swimmers like Katie Ledecky and Michael
Phelps tear up the water and win gold at the 2016 Olympics can
make dreams of being a champion swimmer look distant. Small
local swim teams like the Rockingham Area Youth Swim team are
bringing dreams of swimming glory a little closer to home.
Originally founded in 2001 by Londonderry residents and swim
parents David Grill and Don Snow, the RAYS have introduced and
trained hundreds of children in the sport of swimming over the
years. Despite having its origins in Londonderry, the RAYS are made
up of swimmers from all over southern New Hampshire, including
Windham, Derry, Hudson, Litchfield and Salem. The RAYS gives
swimmers the chance to enjoy competition in a sport they can do for
a lifetime.
The RAYS is a non-profit USA competitive swim team currently
run by co-head coaches Marily Soraghan, a Litchfield resident, and
Carol MacDougall and supported by a parent advisory board and
the Workout Club and Wellness Centers Inc. The team practices at
both of the Workout Club and Wellness Center pools in Londonderry
and Salem. The team offers training to both new and experienced
swimmers from ages 5-20.
Carol and I firmly believe in the philosophy that swimming
should be fun and that all kids can be successful in the sport,
Soraghan said. We are so proud when we watch kids swim
personal best times as well as when they break records or qualify for
big meets. We know that hard work pays off and sometimes it is not
easy to achieve goals, but when it happens it is great.
The RAYS is a team that prides itself on having an equal balance
between competition and fun. Among their everyday practices of
technique work and preparation for upcoming meets, the RAYS
occasionally throw in a fun practice of bonding that includes relays
in which they may be required to push a foam pumpkin down the

Frank Prendergasta, a Windham resident, is a current member of
the parent advisory board and his daughters Amy and Erin have been
on the RAYS team for over six years. Where other teams demand
six and seven day practices per week, the RAYS understand that they
can still be kids and still compete, Prendergast said. Amy and Erin
think that the environment of the RAYS is friendly and team oriented
where they can make long-term friends and still feel part of a larger
team.
Still, being a RAYS swimmer isnt all fun and games. The RAYS
have five distinct practice groups for swimmers of ranging age and
ability. The Mini Rays is the youngest group with swimmers under
the age of 7 and is focused on building strength in swimming. The
middle groups are age groups for 11 and under swimmers and
Juniors for ages 10-14; both of these groups have heavy technique
work and focus on improving swimming stamina. The highest level
is the senior practice group for swimmers 12-20 years old. This
group is expected to attend two-hour practice with dry land twice a
week before regular practice, and focuses on advanced technique
and racing methods.
Murray Reynolds of Hudson has been on the RAYS swim team for
over four years, and is currently a senior swimmer. The team is like
a family. said Reynolds Its interesting to see kids grow up through
swimming, If you stick with it, it just becomes part of your life. You
get to know everyone on the team and they become good friends.
Official RAYS practices began on Sept. 12. However, the team
is still open for new members. Anyone interested in joining the
RAYS for the winter swim season should notify Carol MacDougall
at tmacdougall@myfairpoint.net to organize a tryout time and
registration process. For more information on the RAYS go to www.

tracks we visit for the
first time. Well, the 2015 Granite State Pro Stock Series champion
was proven right. The races top-two finishers were DJ Shaw of
Center Conway, N.H., followed by Tracey Gordon of Strong, Maine.
Griffiths strong performance at Wiscasset helped soften the
blow of his disappointment from the previous week. Sometimes
in a racers career, satisfaction comes with just being able to get
into a race such as the prestigious HP Hood Oxford 250. Yet, for a
racer such as Derek Griffith, qualifying for his first Oxford 250 was
bittersweet.
Griffith, the 19-year-old Hudson native, was able to qualify for
the main event through a consolation race win. Griffith would rolloff in the 25th starting position. A lap-7 incident directly ahead of

caused the

to have to veer
off of turn four;

with the front
stretch wall.
The lap
seven incident
was caused
by impatient
people; its a
shame, said
Griffith. We had a very fast car all weekend long. The crew busted
their tails and our expectations were being able to compete for a
podium finish, I mean we know it was our first [Oxford] 250, but we
can drive with these guys.
Griffith brought the car to pit road after the incident, and the
result was significant front suspension damage to include a bent
right-front spindle, and all of the ball joints received damage as
well. The cars handling was completely gone, he said. We did
what we could, but hanging on to it was tough.

Broncos Rebound Too Late, Fall to Nashua North

by Len Lathrop
When the mercy rule/running time takes effect
at the beginning of the third period, you know that
things have not gone well for your favorite team. The
Broncos opened their season at Stellos Stadium on
Friday night, the new tight-sleeved uniforms looked
very contemporary, and, from the sidelines watching
pre-game warm ups, the Broncos looked good both in
numbers and physical stature. While the final score
of 42-20 reads badly, the Broncos started to rebound
following a slow start on defense.
From pre-game to the first two snaps of the pigskin,
when Nashua North crossed the goal line, the
scoreboard told the tale. It was 8-0 with lots of time on
the clock and then it was 15-0, but Alvirne never quit,
and, before the quarter ended, it was 15-6.
That score came as QB Hayden Callery threw one to
WB Griffin Carbonneau, who took it to inside the five
from where RB Mason Miller pushed it across the line,
even, as the two-point attempt failed,

line could plug the
center hole. But,
Nashua used their
speed around end
to move the ball.
Before the final
buzzer sounded, Mike
Braccio scored with
a 7-yard TD run, and,
with 9:30 to play
fourth quarter, QB
Callery scampered
in for a two-point
conversion. The

Coach Tim
Walsh, after the final whistle said, They never
gave up and did the best they could. Nashua
was big and fast; they had quick backs that
made good decisions. They controlled the game
up front, and teams who win it will control
things up front.
