by Lynne Ober Responding to an offer to go through a

barn and attic, Dr. Steven Calawa foundtwo historic curtains from the NaumkeagGrange that burned to the groundFebruary 9, 1980. “Everyone thought thecurtains had been lost in the re,” saidCalawa, “but discovered that these hadbeen removed prior to the re becausethe State Fire Marshall said they werenot re-proofed.” According to Calawa,Nancy and Paul Kindrich removed thecurtains, rolled them and stored them.

In a January 11, 1969 article, theNashua Telegraph wrote glowingly aboutthe restoration of the grange hall and saidit was now available to host a varietyof community meetings. At the grangemeeting that revealed the restoration,

Leon Barry also showed lms on lendfrom the Chandler Library in Litcheld.The grange history was given at

Sunday’s meeting by Carolyn Lambert,who was a Grange Master. Lambertsaid the grange had been started March19, 1896 and the grange hall built anddedicated later. The grange hall quicklybecame the center of the Litcheldcommunity. Community suppers,dances, holiday parties, musicals, plays,the annual strawberry festival and evengraduation ceremonies for 8th gradestudents were held in the hall. WhenLitcheld’s wooden school burned,grange hall was transformed intoclassrooms while the new brick schoolwas built.

Although the re that burned the hallwas at rst thought to be arson, the StateFire Marshall later released a report

saying that the re was accidental. A June 21, 1980 Telegraph article outlinedthat Litcheld Fire Department hasreceived all needed permits to burnwhat was left of the grange hall to theground and clear the land. At this time,the Amoskeag Bank of Manchesterwas holding foreclosure proceedingsbecause a loan taken out in the 1970swas in default. Sadly a loved Litcheldlandmark ceased to exist.

However, with the discovery of thecurtains, Calawa started a process toget them restored and preserved. DanFerguson, who was working on hismaster’s degree at UNH got involved andwrote a successful grant. The NH ArtsConservation awards grants with fundsfrom the NH moose license plates.

Curtains Without Borders, located inVermont, led the restoration efforts. In

by AJ DickinsonThe Litcheld Fire Department held theirannual open house this past Saturday, October19. The open house, which has been an annualtradition in Litcheld for over 10 years, is notonly a fun way for the kids to learn about reprevention, but also a chance for people tomeet the reghters on a non emergency basis.Children were entertained activities such as thebounce house, re hose targets, and the foamdemonstration. And if the anyone worked up anappetite while taking rides in the re truck therewas a selection of eight different chilies providedby the reghters for their rst ever chili cookoff. The day was not only warm and sunny,but fun for all who attended leaving Litcheldresidents informed and educated about theircommunity’s Fire Department.

submitted by Nick IannacoThis past September, Alvirne High School was

lucky to host 16 high school students from lESEl Piles School in Gijón, Spain. These students,ranging from 14 to 16 years of age and their twoteachers, were hosted by Alvirne Spanish studentsand their families from September 7 to September21. They participated in various trips with theirhosts during these two weeks which includedday trips to Boston, MA, the White Mountains,Ogunquit, ME shopping outlets and of course,experiencing the typical American school day.

The same Alvirne students, along with theirtwo teachers who hosted, will now travel to Spainand have a similar opportunity when they travelto Gijón for 10 days during the February break.They will be immersed in the Spanish languageand culture while visiting places of interest andparticipating in school activities with their Spanishhosts.

The exchange serves as a vehicle forestablishing long-term relationships with students

and families in the Spanish speaking world andgives them the chance to “live” the language.

The success of the program is due to thewonderful families who so willingly go over and

beyond what is necessary to assure that studentsare comfortable, their teachers who organize itand the students who participate and know thevalue of such an oppor tunity.

Campbell Students Inducted Into the National Honor Society by Tom Tollefson

Campbell High SchoolPassaconaway Chapter of the National Honor Societyinduction last Thursdayevening October 17 wasmore about service andpotential for a bright futurethan it was about awardsor accolades. A total of 33 students were inductedinto the National HonorSociety.

Guest speaker KellyFraser, a paraprofessionaland track coach at Campbell, focused on just those issues.

“Be dened not by your accomplishments but by the lives youhave touched,” Fraser said in his speech.

He began by stating that he doesn’t like long introductions aboutpast accomplishments because they are focused on the past. Fraserbelieves the future should have more of a focus instead.

There are several qualications students must meet to be apart of the National Honor Society at Campbell. A grade pointaverage of 3.6 is mandatory. This standard was previously 3.3,however, it was changed this year because of the school’s weightedgrades. Students are only eligible at the end of their sophomoreyear. New inductees also had to serve around 40 hours of community service, ll out an application, and have experience inleadership achievements. In addition, students brought in letters of recommendation from school faculty and community members.

“We rely on the faculty members and members of the communityfor letters of recommendation for feedback on character,” said

Daizha Gatherum Campbell NHS co-advisor and Spanish teacher.Four of the ofcers of Campbell’s NHS each spoke about one of the four principles of the society; scholarship, service, leadership,and character. After each ofcer concluded their part, they wouldlight a candle.

Chapter President Molly Gillespie discussed the importance of the effort behind the grades and encouraged new inductees to notbe dened by their grades but to “dene their grades.”

Gillespie also referred to the American author Napoleon Hill’squote “action is the real measure of intelligence.”

Chapter Vice President Brianna Hardy also shared a famousquote in her speech about service. She quoted Gandhi for sayingthat “you must be the change you want to see in the world.” Hardystated that community service should continue in all stages of life. She dened service as “putting the welfare of others abovethemselves.”

Chapter treasurer Ben Billings thought leadership includeshumility and considering others as well. He spoke about Christianauthor John Calvin Maxwell, who wrote many books with a focuson leadership. Billings shared one of Maxwell’s quotes he thoughtwas tting for leading.

“Leaders must be close enough to relate to others but far enoughahead to motivate.” (John Maxwell Calvin quote)Chapter Historian Rebecca Landrau nished off by speaking

about the principle of character. Landrau described character asbeing what you do when no one else is looking. She stated it isalso striving for perfection, but most importantly learning from yourmistakes.

Master craftsman and Campbell part-time industrial arts directorChuck Mower also gave a small history lesson in his speech aboutthe Native American Chief Passaconaway, for which the chapterwas named after. Passaconaway was the chief of the Pennacooksand leader of the Algonquin Nation (group of united Indian tribes)during the 15th century.

“It’s a cautionary tale about leadership, family, and reverence,”Mower said about the tale of Passaconaway.

The famous Indian chief was painted on a colorful back dropdisplayed on the stage next to the inductees. This backdrop wasonce hung in the original Litcheld Grange Hall. The drape isowned by the Litcheld Historical Society, which recently restoredit. The induction ceremony marked the rst time the colorful piecehad been displayed in many years.

“It’s an important touch stone to the culture of Litcheld. It’sthings like this that convey to us a sense of place,” Mower saidabout the drape.

The National Honor Society at Campbell is looking to help thelocal community. They encourage anyone with community serviceideas to call Campbell High School.

“We really love if community members have ideas aboutopportunities for us to assist the community,” Gatherum said.

Applause, Applause, ApplauseI applaud you Carolyn Leite and I applaud all the teachers in Litcheld

who give their all everyday to our children. I am praying that the peopleof Litcheld hear what you are saying and support a fair contract for theteachers of our town. We need to call and email our school board but morethan that, we need to get out the vote!

All you parents out there, run do not walk to the voting booth and voteto ratify the contract on voting day! Tis is important because our kids areimportant.

Every year my son’s teachers tell me how respectful and kind he and hisclassmates are towards each other. this is because we are all awesome parentsbut also because the teachers in our schools are creating an environment thatbrings this out in our kids. Tis is just one reason, and there are so many more reasons, our teachers are amazing and deserving of our support. Socall your school board and make sure you take the time to vote “yes” to a teachers contract on voting day!

Donated Food From Pumpkinfest Helped Pantry

o the Friends of the St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry of Hudson,thank you for helping the food pantry with your very generous gifts. Asthe Hudson~Litchfeld News and other media outlets have indicated most

food pantry shelves in the state have been quite bare lately. Te New Hampshire Food Bank, where we purchase much of our food, is also very low in supplies, so we cannot replenish everything from there. We areforced to purchase food from retail stores. Tis added cost greatly reducesthe amount and variety of food we can provide. Your donations allow us

to restock our shelves. Te on-going “Make a Dierence Day” school fooddrives; PumpkinFest “ruck-load-of-Food” campaign; food collection sites

at stores throughout the town; and your numerous nancial contributionskeep the food pantry operating. Local individuals, churches, businesses andorganizations have been increasing their support as our numbers continue toincrease. We thank you all.

After this Wednesday’s regular food distribution our shelves will againbe depleted. Over 125 families come in every two weeks for food; theshelves are emptied very rapidly. We are also trying to set aside food for themany families we will serve at the holidays. Terefore we deeply appreciateeverything the residents of Hudson do to assist the families who need ourhelp.

It is only the middle of October but we have been preparing for theholidays for over a month. We have already received over 186 applicationsfor Tanksgiving food baskets. Our volunteers have met with the Hudsonschool counselors to discuss ways the food pantry can help families inneed. We have also received 197 requests for Christmas food and gifts.Once again we turn to our friends to support these programs. Many haveadopted our families for the holidays; if you are interested in participating in the program please contact us at the food pantry.

2013 has been an exceptionally busy year at the pantry. Since January,the Food Pantry has distributed the equivalent of 110,819 meals to ourHudson families. Tus far this year we have registered over 314 families;representing 1,010 individuals (children, adults and senior citizens).

We deeply appreciate your generosity. Te Society could not continue without our loyal supporters; you are now a part of this very special group.Tank you for all you do on behalf of the Hudson community.

Many sincere thanks.

Leona Shanholtz, St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry, Hudson

Tanks Matt for YourReply on Motorcycle Rage

I don’t ever intentionally set out to oend anybody, as I moreintentionally set out to inform somebody about something but I mustadmit that I’ve occasionally done one of them and not the other.

Te purpose of my comments was to focus some a ttention on the NYCmotorcycle rage issue that also happens elsewhere, like right in our ownback yard so to speak and not that it is a regular happening here. I also want to separate the description and denition of Motorcycle Groupsvs. Motorcycle Gangs. I don’t think that from viewing the videos of theNYC incident, we could dene that as Motorcycle Group by its aggressive

behavior but we could surely dene a number of Motorcycle Riderstraveling somewhere together for a Fall Foliage trip, or for a community event, as a Motorcycle Group. Tere is a clear distinction between thetwo and most of us support the eorts of Motorcycle Groups for whateverthey do as a Group. When there’s aggressive behavior on the roads by

anybody or any group, then it’s time to bring it under control for the safety of everybody. Who knows, maybe Matt and I will become the Hudson

Batman and Robin for Safety on the Roads by everybody.

began a survey to locate and document NewHampshire’s collection of historic scenery so theywere well known when Ferguson began the grantprocess and stepped in to help him. Because theNH Preservation Alliance is also interested in thecondition and preservation needs of the townhalls, granges, and other community buildingsthat traditionally house historic painted scenery,more support was garnered for supporting thegrant request.

Art educators in Litcheld joined the teamsent by Curtains Without Borders to work on therestoration. Denise Freeman, Campbell HighSchool Art teacher, photographed the steps of theprocess and at Sunday’s event, Heidi Miller, GMSArt teacher, narrated the efforts while Freeman ranthe slide show of the efforts done to preserve thecurtains.

Two curtains were actually preserved. The rst

one was an advertising curtain with names of sponsoring businesses. According to Fergusonthis curtain was painted by Arthur Ives of NorthWoodstock, NH. Born in Pennsylvania in 1896,Ives served in the Marines before marrying andlanding in North Woodstock in the 1930s wherehe opened a studio. He specialized in advertisingcurtains and scenic paintings. Although hepainted the curtain, one of the earliest displaysof local businesses supporting the arts andcommunity events, he did so from a hand-writtenlist. When viewing the curtain today, a streetname and a business name were both misspelledprobably because he could not read the hand-written list. Today there are still three businessesin operation who are listed on this historic curtain:David Funeral, Farwell Funeral and JohnsonElectric.

Franklin P. Carpenter, born in Boston, MA in

1852, painted the Naumkeag Grange GrandDrape in 1909. Carpenter worked as a reman,but by 1900 had moved to Everett, MA andhad begun a career as a painter and decoratorof stage scenery. In 1906 he moved with hiswife to Londonderry, NH and opened a summerboarding house. Franklin was also active in the

Londonderry Grange and that might be why hewas commissioned to paint the drape for the

Naumkeag Grange. Painted in 1909, it is the onlyknown curtain painted by him before his deathin 1914. The center of the curtain depicts Chief Passaconaway.

To honor Chief Passaconaway, Chuck Mowertold his story and ended with the haunting call of the Loon. The curtains were unveiled and people

could come onto the stage and view them.

won 50 percent of the money from the poker walk. Gail Demancoended up with the worst hand and won various dog logo items alongwith a eece scarf.

“It’s beautiful and the weather is cooperating. It’s a perfect day,”Sandra Carpenter said about her time on the poker walk with herdog Abby.

The Hudson stores America’s Pets and Casey Jones Bones set upvendors at Bark in the Park to sell dog related items and rafe off baskets for dogs and their owners. Both Hudson pet stores donated100 percent of their daily proceeds to the Hudson Dog Park.

The money raised from Bark in the Park will be used by the

Hudson Dog Park towards buying benches to set up outside thefence, a lawnmower, and various clean up and maintenance costs.

The park will soon have more upgrades as well. Hudson boyscout Frank Cuniff will be installing agility equipment in the dog parkfor next year.

The Hudson Dog Park is a 501c nonprot organization whichstarted a few years ago with only four members. The groupexpanded and raised the money for the addition of the Hudson DogPark to Benson’s Park. Their continued fundraising efforts support theupkeep of the dog park.

What Is ‘Support For Education?’by Jason Guerrette

I would like to thank Carolyn Leite, theLitcheld teacher’s union president for beinghonest and coming clean with the statusof our School Districts’ Teacher’s UnionContract. In last week’s HLN, she verytactfully describes what the union directed

how its members (teachers) were to conductthemselves in our schools. Ms. Leite tellsus that beginning last spring (after the voterschose to not approve the proposed contract);the union instructed the teachers to “Workto Rule.” They were not to provide theservices that the community has come to

expect and should expect from salaried professionals. They wouldno longer be available to answer parent emails or phone calls, notgrade work or assignments within a reasonable time, or do anything“above and beyond” what is stated explicitly in the contract. Sheadmits that what they had done was “less than their best effort,”“uncomfortable,” and “intolerable.” In the very rst paragraph of her letter, Ms. Leite states that the contract failed by only 45 votesout of the roughly 1,500 cast. I have to ask. Why would the unionchoose to punish the kids and the community they say they lovewhen clearly half of those very same children’s parents voted to“support education and teachers”? Why would the teachers and theunion take such draconian actions against this community when theonly tangible difference between the contract they work under nowis what they claimed last year was a “modest” increase? If indeed as

she states, they are “without a teachers contract” for the last coupleof years, then why choose to “stick to the contract” and cause a workslowdown? You cannot be under contract and not under contractat the same time, can you? Or is it that the union is perfectly newith the contract but they are overly upset that 45 + 1 voters did notchoose to give them a raise. So for the actions of 45 citizens, thisunion is punishing all of our children.

Ms. Leite, states that “many teachers have already left Litcheld,”to nd work elsewhere where they a supported in a more “tangibleway.” She continues to make the case that unless we choose tomake the same commitment (money) that others will also leave. Shebelieves “support” for education and “support” for teachers meansonly one thing. Money. She encourages all of you to get withSchool Board representatives that a “fair contract” is the “only wayto maintain educational excellence” in Litcheld. Am I to assume

then that teachers would prefer to teach in Manchester? Nashuaor Salem? Boston perhaps? After all, they do pay more don’t they?That is the point isn’t it? Or perhaps we have a large number of very good teachers that have continued to provide us will excellentservice for dozens of years because we are an ideal community.The work environment is superb and it’s a fantastic small district.Actually, an employee of the d istrict was recently overhead telling

someone why her family was selling their house and moving awayfrom Litcheld because they could no longer afford the taxes.Imagine, a resident district employee, paid with tax dollars, movingbecause taxes are too high.

I nd it very disturbing the union would choose to short change acommunity and its children because 45 voters chose not to acceptthe premise that only money drives teachers’ altruistic motivations.We all would love to keep up with the increases in the cost of livingdue to runaway government spending. In truth, we cannot. Andto say that a community doesn’t value those that we trust with ourchildren because we can’t nd any extra in our wallets each monthis misplaced, misguided, and in the end, selsh.

In the end, I believe this change of heart by the union was notabout doing the right thing. It was about the realization that parentshave seen the work slow down and have been loudly complainingabout exactly what Ms. Leite described the union of doing. Theonly way to then begin the campaign for convincing the voters inMarch to support a fat new contract (money), is to now soften up abit so that hopefully, they can nd 45 votes to change their minds.I wonder if they happen to win next March by only 1 vote, theywill then feel supported? Will the union then feel as though the

community supports education? Because 50 percent plus one votersays so?

Here is my answer to the Ms. Leite. Just do the right thing. Eachand every time. Don’t use the contract when it suits you and thenhold us all hostages, while trying to extort from us what you want.Should we now incentivize you for shortchanging our children?Should we fear the union harming our children’s education in thefuture if in March we nd that we cannot afford to pass on more of our wages? I served 23 years in the military. Iknew that it certainly was not ever going to makeme a rich man. I not ever once of shortchangingmy country because I felt I was undervalued bythe taxpayer. I served because of the duty I feltfor giving back to my community. Would I haveloved to be paid more? Of course. Who reading

this would not hope to make more money? But would we then dopossible harm to children because of it?

Books Covered in Dried Gasoline Prompted Evacuation

by Marc Ayotte

On Friday, October 18, Alvirne High School studentsand faculty were dismissed from school for the remainderof the day by Superintendent Bryan Lane after theorigin and nature of an odor in the school could not beidentied by members of the Hudson Fire Department(HFD).

Addressing the faculty outdoors, Lane said the decisionto call the buses and dismiss school for the day was madeat 10:45 in the morning. Before departing for the day,both students and faculty were allowed to re-enter thebuilding to gather their personal belongings.

At rst, Lane indicated that thoughts pointed to the odorbeing attributed to natural gas or diesel; citing an incidenta week earlier that involved an odor resulting from aburned-out motor. Lane went on to say that the HFDtests upon entering the building “showed various levels of oxygen in different parts of the building.”

Regarding the evacuation, Lane commended PrincipalBeals and his staff saying: “(they) did a great job onevacuating the kids.” He also added that much of thefood that had been prepared for AHS student luncheshead been shipped to other schools and stressed that“areas of concern were not in the cafeteria.”

On Monday, October 21, in a portion of his address

to students and faculty on ‘Alvirne Studio 19,’ PrincipalBeals explained the cause and nature of Friday’s event,

saying that it was an “unintentional” circumstanceinvolving books with dried gasoline on them. The odorfrom the books, discovered by the HFD in a studentlocker, eventually entered the ventilation system.

by Kristen HoffmanThe 2013 Hudson Fire Department’s Award Ceremony

had its share of new beginnings, recognition for long-standing service, and everything in between. The annualevent is held by the Hudson Fireghters Relief Associationto acknowledge the hard work of Hudson Fireghters, andsometimes, civilians.

Lieutenant Michele “Micky” Rudolph acted as theMaster of Ceremonies for the evening, rst by invitingformer Deputy Chief Rob Buxton up to the stage tobe ceremoniously sworn in as Fire Chief. Buxton wasappointed to the position by the Board of Selectmen after

Former Chief Shawn Murray announced he was retiring.Murray’s last day was on October 10. Board of SelectmenChair Rick Maddox swore Buxton in. Buxton was joined byhis father, Rob who was also a Hudson Chief, and his wife.

This year’s commendation of service recognized thework of ve Hudson reghters, and six civilians for theirwork in Brooklyn, NY several days after Hurricane Sandydecimated the area. Captain ToddHansen, and Fireghters Mike Mallen,Dean Sulin, Greg Rich, Corey Morinand residents Allen, John, and LynnMarcotte, Dave Stewart and Julie and

Josh Hansen.The group went down to Brooklyn

on November 10, 2012, anddiscovered that much of the seasidearea they were in was destroyed.They started work in Garrison Beach,and from there travelled to BreezyPoint Queens and ended in StatenIsland. The Marcottes described the

damage as something they had neverimagined, but were amazed by thehard work and kindness displayed bythose whose lives were destroyed bythe powerful storm.

They assisted the inicted by

removing damaged belongings, gutting mold-covered sheetrock, and other items. The commendation of service wasawarded just weeks before the rst anniversary of the storm.This year’s unit citation was awarded to Chief Rob Buxton,Captain Scott Tice, Lieutenant Everett Chaput, FireghtersToby Provencal, Jim Bavaro, Kevin Blinn, Tom Sullivan, JaySilver and Dispatcher Amanda Cormier. On March 16,2012, the unit responded to a severe accident on LowellRoad. The truck slammed into a utility pole, disruptingdispatcher services, and leaving the driver trapped in thevehicle with severe leg trauma. Dispatcher Cormier wasable to keep up communications through a mobile unit,

and the team dispatched a trauma team at Southern NewHampshire Medical Center. The driver of the vehicle endedup with traumatic injuries, but he survived.

Liz Conner was awarded with the Dr. Conner Award.The award, named for her late husband was given to herin recognition for her longstanding work with the FireDepartment. Liz is credited with helping establishing

EMS services in Hudson, andwas referred to several timesas the rehouse “mom,” forher support of the men andwomen in the eld.

The night served torecognize those who used to,and continually serve the townof Hudson. Former reghterEd Brisbing was memorializedthat evening. Brisbing, a callreghter started serving inHudson in the late 1980s. Hepassed away in August 2013

after an illness. Others wererecognized for their continuedservice, including retiredCaptain George Fuller, who

to be for trick-or-treating in town. The youngsters are anxiouslyawaiting the sugar rush that will soon be in their hands. For thestudents of the Hills Garrison After School Program, the seasonmeans a bit more as they get excited about a volunteer opportunityto help their community. Children of Hudson Interacting withPolice Services (C.H.I.P.S.) is a group that fosters improved relationsbetween the children of Hudson and the police department and

is truly pleased with the seless work these students did for theirtown. These students put aside “playtime” during the afternoonof October 16 in the after school program, to give back to theircommunity. Students gathered in the cafeteria and were assigned

jobs on a “production line.” Soon it was time to ll 500 “grabbags.” The youngsters had a t-shirt, candy, toys, etc., in their handsas they passed these bags down the line of volunteers. When thebag reached the end of the production line, students carefullyplaced them into boxes which HPD picked up the following day to

distribute at their annual Fright Night. C.H.I.P.S. and Hudson PoliceDepartment is truly appreciative of all the support from the HGSAfter School Program.

Hudson Kiwanis’ Seventh Annual PumpkinFest a Success

by Mike FalzoneThe phrase most commonly used to describe the

seventh annual three-day Hudson PumpkinFestwas “family friendly.” The Hudson Kiwanis Clubsponsored the festival, which was held October18- 20th on the grounds of the Hudson HillsHouse.

“Originally, I wanted to copy Keene PumpkinFest, but I knew this had the potential to be asbig as some of the major New Hampshire fairs,”Hudson Kiwanis Club President Mike Falzonesaid. “More important now is getting all thedifferent organizations in town to work togetherto provide a showcase event for area residentsand their children. We had over 20 non protsworking together to bring this event to the town of Hudson.”

The festivities included many events for childrensuch as a petting zoo, games,rides, food, face painting, as wellas rafes, a car show featuring 50classic antique cars, a craft fair,live music, reworks, and severalrows of a variety of vendors withcustomized merchandise suchas home made jewelry and bathsoaps.

“Everyone was walking aroundhaving a good time. It was a bigsuccess here,” said Mary Murphy,owner of Charles Schwab inNashua and a sponsor of theevent.

One of the big winners of theweekend was the St. VincentDePaul Food Pantry at St. John’sChurch in Hudson. Together withSelectman Ben Nadeau and freepizzas donated by Professor’sPizza, visitors were encourageto bring food donations to ll up

the back of the Area News Groupantique truck, which happenedseveral times.

“This is a between holidaytime for the food pantry, anddemand is still high while peoplethinking about the pantry is at alull,” explained Nadeau. “Thiswill help put some stock backon the shelves to make sure we

have food for the nextcouple of weeks.”

All the proceedsKiwanis generatedthrough the weekend(the money madethrough vendorregistrations andsponsors donations)goes toward collegescholarships for highschool students fromAlvirne High Schooland Campbell HighSchool.

“I actually like it alittle better than Old

Home Days. It’s more kid friendly. There ’s morestuff to do for the kids with the petting zoo,” saidLitcheld resident Marie Thomas.

Among the many “kid friendly” events was aspecial time slot on Sunday set aside for childrento come dressed in their Halloween costumes andhave a chance to do some early trick or treating.The vendors supplied candy for the children. “Forthe rst time in seven years, we had no rain orheavy winds for the weekend,” cited Falzone. TheHalloween spirits were high as over 200 childrenshowed up early Sunday afternoon for trick ortreating.

“I think its a small town feel but there are a lotof things to do. I think the kids’ games and trickor treating was great and the vendors were reallyfun. You can’t just go to the store and buy that

kind of stuff. It’s unique,” said Hudson residentCarol Santos.

There was also a lot of enthusiasm about thevaried musical talents over the weekend. Thisentertainment lineup included the Campbell HighSchool Jazz Ensemble, local cover rock band RockDaddys, The NH acclaimed Bel Airs, and a Beatlestribute band

Rock Daddys was also a big hit for theweekend. The Hudson based four person coverrock band was formed in 2004. They cover rocksongs from the last 40 years and play at privateparties and local events. They have performed inMassachusetts, Maine, Connecticut, Vermont, andRhode Island.

The Hudson Kiwanis Club sponsors other

annual events around town. These events includethe Fishing Derby at Robinson Pond in the winterand their yard sale at the Kiwanis Hall in thespring.

The Kiwanis Club members weren’t the onlyones who made the 2013 PumpkinFest possible.Volunteers from the Alvirne and Campbell KeyClubs, Hudson Rotary Club, and the Alvirne HighSwim Team and Parents, Alvirne Class Act Group,and Tabernacle Christian School, Cross PointChurch, all volunteered to help park cars and setup, clean up and make the event a huge success.Hudson Boy Scouts Troop 21 also camped outbehind the rows of vendors to take shifts watchingover the premises each night after it closed for theday.

submitted by Bailey UrbachSunday, October 6 was a momentous day for many

members of the Hudson Fish and Game Club Junior RieTeam, and for several reasons. This day was the Plymouths

of the World International Postal Match, in which Plymouthclubs all over the world shoot a 60-shot prone match (threetargets of 20 shots each from the prone position at 50 yards)and then all of the scores are compiled into one internationallisting of individuals, six-man teams, 10-man teams, and 12-man teams.

For ve members of the Hudson Fish and Game team,this would serve as their very rst match. Connor Urbach,Mike Hebert, Victoria D’Amico, Sarah Gates, and RileyMcAroy made the hour-and-a-half-long trip to the Pemi Fish& Game Club in Plymouth to represent their team alongsidethe ve senior members. All of the “newbies” nished withoutstanding scores, as this was their rst time shooting onan outdoor range and subsequently dealing with wind andweather. Not a single one shot below a 400, nor was any of them in last place, andfour out of ve madethe third-string six-manteam.

The ve senior members attended this match with a slightlydifferent, though no less exciting, attitude. This match isnotorious for being in cold autumn weather, so they madesure to pack warmly. Today was a day for fun, supporting

“Team USA,” and for a few, a day for redempt ion. Teamcaptain Bailey Urbach and Elizabeth Dutton sported festivered, white, and blue hair bows and nished within a pointof each other (556 and 555), thus landing Elizabeth on therst-string team and Bailey on the second. Chris Ferry, theyoungest of the senior members, shot well with a 451, earninga spot on the third team. Jarred Dassler came to the matchlooking to redeem his score from last year, which arose fromneglecting to tighten a screw, now known affectionately as“pulling a Jarred.” Jarred and Zachary Wambsganns tied witha 564 each, separated only by two X’s, coming in third andfourth overall respectively, both making the rst-string teamand making Jarred the high scorer of the day for the HudsonFish and Game team, the ultimate redemption.

Team took on a huge challengethis week, they were invited toplay a double header in Bedfordat Selvoski Field against the 14USouhegan Storm, Hudson’s regularscheduled opponent from Bedfordcould not eld a 12U team thispast weekend, which presented thematch up against the older girls fromSouhegan.

In the rst game the Fire kept itclose for a while under the pitchingof Kiara Chase and Sara Hey, butsome defensive lapses from the Fireallowed Souhegan to roll to a 15-4win.

The next game took place shortlyafter the rst and again the Fire wasable to keep the game close throughthe pitching of Sarah Linnehan.Unfortunately some misjudged hitsand elding errors allowed Souheganto excel past the Fire for a 14-7 win.

These two games were a good wayfor the Hudson girls to see the levelof skill most of them will face nextseason when they move up to the14U level.

Sports Bronco Troubles Continue

by Mike Bourk Alvirne lost another winnable football game to

Nashua North on Friday night, 21-15. This marks thefourth time this season the tough luck Broncos (1-6)have lost by a single touchdown.

The usually reliable offensive line was off allnight. Head coach Mark Phillips’ game plan was to

run the ball against the Titans. Without adequateblocking, that simply wasn’t possible. When theBroncos switched over to a pass oriented attack,quarterback Jack Mahoney had very little time for asecond read on many passing plays. That proved tobe the Bronco’s undoing as George Notini and TylerLadebouche were open as on several occasions.

Alvirne head coach Mark Phillips was verydisappointed in the play of his offensive anddefensive lines. “We got beat up in the trenchestonight and we got taken out of our rhythm.”Phillips remains optimistic about the future,“We’ve got a bunch of young kids. They’ve got alot to learn still. They have been getting and willcontinue to get a little better with each passinggame.”

North starting quarterback went down early inthe rst half with what appeared to be a concussionrelated injury. Head coach Jason Robie had abackup that was ready, “In practice Martin Brandonand Colby Gunter take equal reps. We have arunning offense, sometimes our quarterback carriesthe ball, things like this happen.”

Alvirne kept the game close in the rst half thanks to some key third down tackles by RobAlbertine and Jack Dillman along with a fumblerecovery by Mahoney. The Broncos had a greatchance to tie the game at the end of the rst half.Mahoney completed a 40 yard pass to GeorgeNotini giving Alvirne a rst down on the NashuaNorth 10 yard line. An interception by the Titan’sEzinma Nwankwo ended the drive. North headcoach Jason Robie talked about the drive, “We wereup 7-0 at the time and we were willing to give upthe short gains in order to run out the clock. Thenthe kid (George Notini) makes a heck of a catch onthe far sidelines. The key to the interception wasthe force Joe Chimelski had up the middle. The

interception was as much Joe’s as it was Ezinma’s.It’s a game of momentum and that was probably thebiggest play of the game.”

A shining moment for Alvirne football fansoccurred in the second half when senior Lucas Notiniweaved his way up the eld 90 yards to return akickoff for a touchdown. The other Bronco score wasa 7-yard run by Mahoney late in the game.

The Broncos travel to Rochester on Friday to takeon the Spaulding High Red Raiders.

This was truly an emotional game thatmeant a lot to the Donaghey familyand the Campbell Cougars communityas well.

The team met near the net forphotographs after the game, celebratingtheir victory. Coach Steven Levine,explained, “… we needed to win atleast one of our next three games tomake it to the playoffs. We did thattoday, against the third ranked team in

Division III. This was an important win,not just for the team but for our seniorsand the Donaghey family.”

Campbell Cougars-continued from page 16

Lubinski Nets Two as Broncos Blank Titansby Marc AyotteThe Alvirne boys’ soccer team dominatedfrom beginning to end,using a pair of goalsfrom Matt Lubinski alongwith Brett Richardson’steam-leading 16th of theyear to shutout NashuaNorth, 3-0, on October17. The victory ran theBronco’s string to ninestraight as they remainedperfect at home in sevenattempts. Keeper LiamRegan made his rst startof the year and enjoyeda quiet game betweenthe posts in recording theshutout. Along with fourbagels recorded by Jake

Schoeld, the Alvirnetandem has combinedfor a stellar 1.00 goalsagainst average throughfourteen games.

The Broncos got off to an ominous start when Billy Perry sufferedan apparent shoulder injury just 49 seconds in and had to exit thegame. After regrouping, Richardson, with 6:19 off the clock, leftTitan defender Shahked Bleicher in his tracks with a nifty move andthen blasted a shot under the crossbar past a diving Timothy Clossonfor a 1-0 lead.

As the rst half approached the midway point, Lubinski scoredhis rst goal of the game. After receiving a long feed in from RaulStedile (2 assists), the Bronco striker got by Closson and defenderCameron Motivala and guided the ball just inside the right post andinto the net for a two goal advantage. “The ball was icked in overthe defense,” recalled Lubinski of Stedile’s helper. With the Broncossmelling blood, the pressure continued when Kyle Salucco blasteda shot from the right side that almost decapitated the Titan keep, butClosson made the save, keeping his team in the game.

With 14:50 showing on the clock, Salucco was again stoned when

Closson made a leaping save on a shot headed to the upper leftcorner. Just forty seconds later Ethan Beal’s bid from 15 yards outpainfully oated just over the crossbar. The onslaught continued andwith 11:00 remaining, Lubinski again received a feed from Stedilethat resulted in a great scoring chance, but went unanswered after astellar save by Closson.

Then, inside the nal two minutes of the half, Lubinski notchedthe rst Bronco insurance goal. Positioned about ten yards outand to the right of the North net, the Bronco junior recorded hisfth goal of the season; “I took a quick shot and I think it deectedoff a defender into the bottom of the net.” Making the most of hisplaying time with the two goals, Lubinski cited team chemistry andfamiliarity with one another dating back to travel soccer days asimportant components to his and the team’s strong play; “I feel weare playing really well,” adding specically, “we know a lot of eachother’s tendencies.”

After the game, Coach Jeff Blackwell shared his assessment of theteam’s performance on both sides of the ball saying; “the ‘D’ wasstrong tonight. (We) still need to do better in nishing off goals.”With respect to the Bronco x’s and o’s, Blackwell added; “they did

much better with the game plan tonight from the beginning – nodisappointment at all. It was a nice showing.”

Al Conti echoed Blackwell’s sentiments, saying; “we controlledeverything,” but the Bronco assistant coach had other observationsas well. “They (AHS) played to their comfort level as opposed to

their potential,” adding; “they weren’t switching up front and makingdiagonal runs – making it easier for the other team.”

With the victory against North, Alvirne’s season record improvedto 12-2. According to Conti, the dozen wins for a boys’ Broncosoccer team is the most since 2005 when they went 11-5 and fellowassistant coach Ryan Hanlon donned the white, maroon and goldunis.Broncos Fight Off Crusaders

On October 22, the Broncos ran their win streak to 10 straightwhile improving to 13-2 on the year. Matt Lubinski continuedhis strong play; scoring what proved to be the game winner in thegame’s 28th minute, as Alvirne held on to defeat host ManchesterMemorial (2-11-2) by the score of 2-1.

Raul Stedile, on an unassisted tally, put the Broncos on top 1-0in the 21st minute of the rst forty with his third of the season.Lubinski then notched his sixth goal of the year on what AssistantCoach Al Conti described as “a nice little give and go from BrettRichardson” to give Alvirne a 2-0 lead leaving Conti to assessthe situation; “we controlled the remainder of the rst half. Our

midelders did a great job of controlling things.”But Memorial cut the Bronco lead in half in the 56 th minute on apenalty kick; “they came out like a house of re,” noted Conti, citingthe Crusader’s senior night as motivation for their inspired play. “We

just held on – we bent but we didn’t break,” said Conti.

Broncos Hope to Finish Strong

by Sue LaRocheThe Alvirne Lady Broncos have hit some stumbling

blocks on the way to the NHIAA Division 2 playoffs. Afteran excellent start with a record of 8-0-1, Alvirne nds itself with a record of 9-5-1 and hoping for a victory in the nalgame of the season in order to hold onto a top 8 playoff spot to garner a rst round home playoff game.

The Lady Broncos took two very difcult losses thispast week, with a double overtime loss to Coe-Brown onFriday, October 18 and a 1-0 loss to St. Thomas Aquinas onTuesday, October 22.

Alvirne played one of their nest games of the seasonagainst Coe-Brown Academy battling back twice from onegoal decits to tie the score. The Broncos found themselvesdown 1-0 in the rst half but at the 26:50 mark, ToriLaRoche, streaking down the left wing centered a pass to

Danielle Ross who put the ball past the Coe Brown goalieto knot the score at one. Ten minutes later, Coe Brownwent up 2-1 but the Broncos were not to be denied. With8:35 remaining, Brianna Wiggins made a run down theright wing and made an excellent centering cross whichLaRoche picked out of the air popping the header in the

net to tie the game. The defense of Jillian Houle,Erin Rosier, Sabrina Carter, Shantelle Lacasse andMarianne Poulin shut down Coe Brown for theremainder of regulation and sent the game intoovertime. With dusk settling in, both teams took theeld for overtime and found themselves tied after

the rst overtime stanza. With under 3 minutes remainingin the second overtime, Coe Brown broke through thedefense and put a point blank shot past goalie SammiGiannelli (13 saves on the night) for the game winner. TanaTufts had a great game at mideld to help keep the Broncosin the game.

The Broncos were hoping to turn the tide on Tuesday,October 22 against St. Thomas Aquinas but they could nothit paydirt and the Saints managed to score with 15:19to play for the lone goal of the game. Tana Tufts andKayla Juliano played well at mideld and Heather Barklayreturned after suffering a concussion earlier in the seasonand put in a good effort for the Broncos.

The Lady Broncos will make the playoffs but arestruggling to hold onto one of the top 8 spots in order to

host a rst round playoff game on Wednesday, October 30at 3pm. Friday, October 25, senior night, the nal homegame of the season, will be an important one for Alvirne asit could determine the location of their rst round playoff game.

Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down?

Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down?

“Thumbs up to the

Hudson Town Clerk and herstaff. I was in your ofcedoing business when youreceived a basket from acustomer that you wentabove and beyond to help.It was nice to see that yourhard work is appreciated.When I went home aftertelling my husband aboutthe basket, he told me thatour Town Clerk has neverhad a raise and the girls inher ofce have gone withoutan increase for over 5 years.I was then troubled to readan article awarding theRecreation Director a 10%raise. Something is wronghere! Keep your heads upgirls, your time will come!”

“Thumbs down toSelectmen Coutu and hisidea to give the RecreationDirector a 10% raise. All of our teachers, remen andpolicemen are underpaidwhen compared to otherarea towns, not just theRecreation Director.Somehow only the RecDirector merits a 10% raise,his second in two years.Nothing fuzzy with thatreasoning!”

“Thumbs up to ‘TeamA.’ To recap: When team‘A’ has the ball, they areallowed to try to score. If they do, and the ofcialsagree that they scored by

following the rules, the scorecounts. Then when team ‘B’gets the ball, then they cantry to score. This is calledplaying by the rules. It isnot within the rules for team‘B’ to have a nutty and totake all the spectators in thestadium hostage and try toforce a do over. That is nothow the game is played.When team ‘B’ is in power, if they manage to getit back, then they can try to score. I don’t likeyour gun laws, you don’t like my healthcare. Iguess we both have to be mature, and hope ourteam gets the ball next, don’t we?”

“Thumbs up. A big thumbs up to selectmenfor realizing the future of Hudson trafc and theLowell Road congestion lies on the circumferentialbypass from the Sagamore Bridge to Route 111.

This alternate route would streamline current andfuture trafc congestion thru our town. We needState DOT participation with legislative interest toaccomplish this project.”

“Thumbs down to the person who statesparents should stop blaming the Alvirne FootballCoaches. Apparently you don’t know the wholestory. No one said the coaches were doing a bad

job. Apparently you were not there in the meetingwhen it was said win or lose it doesn’t matter allkids will play at the lower level so they can learnand be ready for varsity! Of course your kid mustbe playing so therefore you would say somethingto that affect. I guarantee though if he wasn’t youwould be one to complain that your kid is on theside lines. Not to mention for your informationthey are not allowed to tackle or be rough duringpractice so you tell me when are the kids supposeshow that they are trying or want to play whenthey are not being played! I hate how peoplealways just assume they know everything!”

“Thumbs down to the 3 women checking outof Walmart, Hudson on 10/17/13 from Mass thatused their EBT card to pay for their CASES of BudLight! Shame on Walmart for letting them.”

“Thumbs up to the award winning AHSMarching Band for ‘playing on’ during the Nashuagame Friday night. When we have an awardwinning football team, perhaps the coach can askthe band to be quiet ...”

“Thumbs down. Thumbs way down to Keith.

You got the order the day before. You were rudeand hung up on the person who placed the order.You knew what time the pizza should have beenthere. It showed up 35 minutes late. You didn’teven start it until you got a phone call aboutwhere the order was. We know this from thetime stamp on the box. You made 5 gluten freechildren at a community function sit, wait andwatch all their friends chow down on the pizzathat was delivered on time and with a discountfrom the other business in town who can do the

job correctly. This is because it was a communityfunction and they support us continuously. Get aclue. This was for a bunch of 10 year olds. Youwonder why no one wants to order from you. You

just blew it again. Word spreads fast in our smalltown.”

“Thumbs up to Campbell High to havingCoach Levine as their boys soccer coach. As aformer Tewksbury Redmen I was so excited to seeCoach Levine’s picture in the HLN (October 18thedition)! Mr. Levine was the most amazing coach/ mentor/person that worked in my hometown of Tewksbury, Mass. He is dedicated , passionate,fair, tough and honest. He is such a positiverole model for kids and adults. I am so happyto see that another town is getting the benetsof knowing Mr. Levine. Today’s kids need morecoaches like him. Enjoy Campbell High! You arevery lucky.”

“Thumbs down to Alvirne football coachingstaff. You position your team on the ‘visitor’s’sideline. The band is made to play on the hillaway from the bleachers. If you don’t wantsupport from band, cheerleaders or fans, just playyour games by yourselves. You evidently don’tneed anyone’s support, and are able to lose all onyour own.”

“Thumbs down to AHS Football coachingstaff, in their obvious disdain for fans, band andcheerleaders. What’s up with moving the team,

the band and the cheerleaders away

from the stands? If you can’t coachyour team with the sound of Supportnext to you, maybe it’s time foranother new coaching staff.”

“Thumbs down to the person thattook my little girl’s scooter in frontof our house on Shelley Thursday10/17. Just because something is‘parked’ at the end of a drivewaydoesn’t give anybody the rightto take it. Very disappointed inpeople for not doing the right thing.As my daughter said, you couldhave asked. Glad my 4 year oldunderstands this concept.”

“Thumbs down to the principal atGMS. You are not supporting yourstudents and you seem to not care.Don’t be a friend be a leader! Listento the students not just the teachers.”

“Thumbs down to the GMSprincipal. Stop being a followerand be a leader! We need a newprincipal that will lead us to successwith our children!”

“Thumbs up to all the Litcheldteachers! What a great job you aredoing with our children!”

“Thumbs down to the principaland one teacher at GMS! Deal withthe issue you are the leader! Don’t

just give up and move on! We havea teacher with a problem deal withit! Be that leader! The children arethe ones suffering not you! Time tohave her retire and maybe you!”

“Thumbs down to the Tea Partyposts. Are all liars Tea Partiers or areall Tea Partiers liars? Your posts have

no basis in truth and your namecalling is getting old.”

“Thumbs up. Coach Tarr andI would like to congratulate eachmember of our cross country team.You all contributed to our success.132 well behaved and hard workingstudents made it a real pleasure tocoach. We wish our 8th graderssuccess next year and hope to seethe rest of you next year! In the

mean time keep running!” Coach Henriquez

“Thumbs down to the 6U Bears for not wearingpink socks to support cancer ...”

“Thumbs up to the members of the CampbellHigh jazz combo, who performed with suchcondence and energy at theHudson Pumpkinfest! Youbrought smiles to many faceson Sunday!”

“Thumbs up to the group inLitcheld who pulled together50 Jack-O-Lanterns for thefamily in ‘The Pink House.’This was one of the kindestgestures of remembrance I’veseen in our community. ThatLC group is a class act!”

“Thumbs up andcongratulations to all AlvirneSenior Band and Footballmembers! Reach for thestars and follow your dreamsand remember you willalways and forever be aBronco. Great job Mr. B,Alvirne Band Members, PittCrew members, and HudsonMemorial 8th graders and their parents for a verysuccessful Step Up night, you rocked!”

“Thumbs up to all who donated non-perishablefood items to the St. Vincent’s de Paul Food Pantryin Hudson during Alvirne’s October 4th and 18thVarsity Football games.”

“Thumbs up to young healthy people who canadd and subtract. With the new Obamacare law,the cheapest insurance with a monster deductibleis about $200 a month or $2,400 a year. Themaximum penalty tax will be only about $700 ayear. Thanks to the ne school systems in both

Hudson and Litcheld, most of these healthy

young people know that if they just pay thepenalty tax, they’re still up $1,700 a year ratherthe having to pay for bloated, overpriced, uselesshealth insurance.”

“Thumbs down because we had a civil war, andwe don’t want another one. The Tea Party wants aconfederate government, and having control overthe Republican Party makes voting Republicanrisky. Let’s keep the government and programs wehave died and fought for. Let’s keep our middleclass values. Let’s just keep on voting Democratbecause it’s the safest choice. With Republicanswe got the Bush administration and a governmentshutdown that cost 24 billion dollars. After HilaryClinton in 2024, Democrats will be in a goodposition to win until 2032.”

“Thumbs up for conservatism. The lefties inthis country have read the communist manifesto.They berate you, they insult you, they change thesubject. In the long run, conservatism will win,

because God is on our side. Vladimir Lennon saidit best: ‘Liberals are useless idiots.’ Semper Fi.”

“Thumbs up to Nurse Bethany at SNHMCEndoscopy Admitting. You have a wonderfulway of making people feel at ease with a greatpersonality. The world needs more nurses likeyou, with your sense of humor and bed sidemanner. Thanks for being so caring and kind.”

“Thumbs up to Mike Falzone for anotherwonderful, successful Kiwanis Pumpkinfest.Although we all try to help him, he pulls thewhole thing together. From the rides, to over100 crafters and food vendors, the Fireworks,the entertainment, the Hot Air Balloon rides, theClassic cars, the traveling petting zoo, the horses,and so much more. He truly is an amazingperson. Great job Mike!”

“Thumbs up. Paws up for the Friends of Hudson Dog Park! We had a wonderful day at theBark in The Park event! Especially the costume

contest! The Facebook voting has been so muchfun to watch too! Everyone please vote forYackle!”

“Thumbs down to the ‘Affordable’ Care Act.My company’s recent annual enrollment processrevealed employees with insurance must pay a$25/month ‘fee’ (Tax) for the ACA. Then we havebeen told that the insurance plan we have had(and paid extra for) for a number of years wasno longer available because it was considereda ‘Cadillac’ plan. Only two plans remain andneither of them provides the coverage of our oldplan. I thought we were told prices would not goup and we could keep our existing plans.”

Lady Broncos Top Titans on Dig Pink Night by Marc Ayotte

With the month of October beingdesignated as National Breast CancerAwareness Month, the Alvirne girls’volleyball team took to the court cladin bright pink jerseys on October 17,and defeated nearby Nashua North, 3sets to 1 in a hard-fought and crucialDivision I contest. The Broncos gotoff to a slow start on ‘Dig Pink Night’by dropping the rst set, 19-25, butstormed back to take the next threeover the now 12-5, fth ranked Titans,25-23, 25-23 and 25-20. Whileimproving their season mark to 12-3,Alvirne nds itself tied for 3rd placewith Salem, just one game behindMerrimack in the loss column forsecond place.

The home bleachers featured araucous student body that was out to

support their Broncos as well as theCancer Awareness fundraising effort.According to Alvirne Athletic Director

Karen Bonney, the volleyball programdonated all the proceeds from theevent, including a bake sale and rafe,as well as from a walk on Sundaywhich took place in Nashua, to theBreast Cancer Awareness Fund.

The Bronco turnaround fromgame one was spearheaded bythe outstanding play of seniorcaptains Marisa Coronis and EvelynSusko. Coronis dominated net play,decimating the Titan defense with agigantic 29 kills (4 aces and 9 digs)while Susko was instrumental in theassist column, recording a lofty 38 togo along with a pair of kills. On thedefensive side of things, it was seniorSandi Purcell that came up big with ateam-high 15 digs to add to her twoaces and two kills.

With the match tied at one game

apiece, Purcell also played aninuential, offensive role in the pivotalthird game; “Purcell had a come-back serving run of seven points to come

back 19-23 to win the set 25-23,”recounted a pleased rst yearCoach Joe Walz. (Purcell nishedthe night with a total of 15 servicepoints). It was Marisa Coroniswho put the nishing touches onPurcell’s individual run by drivinghome a perfect, game-decidingsetup by Susko.

Ahead two games to one, thefourth and nal game saw severallead changes occur. With the scoreknotted at 18, Purcell, Susko andMarisa Coronis again worked theirmagic; serving, setting and killingen route to scoring seven of thegame’s nal nine points to seal the

win. Contributing for the Broncoswere Jasmine Hamilton (5 kills, 3digs) and Kayla Gendreau with veblocks. Also catching Walz’s eyewas sophomore Malory Coroniswho chimed-in with 11 servicepoints.

Earlier in the week, the Broncosshined with a straight set win over

visiting Winnacunnet. Coach Joe Walzwitnessed his team play solidly on bothsides of the net as they were never introuble; defeating the lowly Warriors(3-12) by scores of 25-13, 25-18 and25-16.

Leading the way offensively forAlvirne was Marisa Coronis with 11kills while Malory Coronis and SandiPurcell recorded four and two kills,respectively. Evelyn Susko led theteam in assists with 17 and juniorSteph Jones chipped in with ninehelpers. On the defensive end, Purcellled the way with ve digs, followedby Marisa Coronis with three. TheBroncos picked up seven aces on theevening led by Susko with three andthe Coronis siblings with two apiece.

Continuing their solid play, theBroncos traveled to the Queen Cityon October 21, where they engagedin another straight set pounding of anopponent; this time it was Manchester

Memorial that fell by scores of 25-13,25-16 and 25-21. The win improvedAlvirne’s record to 13-3 as theyremained in a tie for third with Salemwho was involved in a three gamesweep of their own against BishopGuertin.

The Broncos were led by the servingprowess of Evelyn Susko who recorded24 service points (3 aces) while alsoposting 21 assists and four kills. SistersCoronis inicted much of the damageat the net as they combined for 17 killswith sophomore Malory (9) leading theway. Also contributing in the Broncostampede were Emily Sullivan (2 kills,4 assists, 1 dig), Jasmine Hamilton (3kills, 2 digs, 1 ace), Kayla Gendreau (3kills, 1 block) and junior Steph Joneswith a pair of aces.

Coach Walz’s crew closes out theregular season by celebrating seniornight on Friday, October 25 when theyhost Pinkerton.

Third Ranked Raymond Rams Fall inOvertime to Campbell Cougars, 3-2

by Phillip NicholsOn October 16, the Campbell Cougars hosted the Raymond

Rams boys’ soccer team on the Cougars’ senior day and defeatedthem in overtime, 3-2.

It was an emotional day which was celebratedwith a ceremony honoring Ryan Donaghey, a2010 graduate who lost his battle with canceron March 7, 2013. During the ceremony Ryan’s

number 14 was retired. Ryan’s parents, Kennethand Nancy, were given his away jersey andCampbell maintained his home jersey.

When the game started Campbell showed theycame to play. Nick Covert received a pass from

Jon Donaghey at the 17 minute mark and wasable to score Campbell’s rst goal. However,Raymond showed why they were ranked numberthree, by coming back one minute later andscoring its rst goal. This goal was netted byTucker MacPherson.

By all accounts this was going to be a battleto the end, as both teams appeared to be evenlymatched and well coached.

Campbell’s, Jon Donaghey, Ryan’s youngerbrother, netted an unassisted goal in the 21stminute of the game, putting Cougars on top by ascore of 2-1. The game would remain 2-1 untilthe 71st minute, when Raymond’s, Tad Dipietroknotted the game, 2-2, at the 78th minute, whichis how the end of regulation would end.

To start the overtime period, Campbell won thecoin toss and elected to get the ball rst. The twoteams continued to play one another tough, butdisplayed exceptional sportsmanship.

Four minutes into the overtime period,Raymond was called for a penalty, within theirzone, resulting in a penalty kick opportunity forCampbell. Assigned to take the penalty kick was

Jon, wearing number 14. Jon struck the ball with authority and got the

ball past Raymond’s goal keeper, giving theCampbell Cougars, what some would call anupset win over the Raymond Rams, 3-2.

After the game, Jon Donaghey said, “... afterscoring the rst goal, I pointed towards heaven.”

Game dedicated to the Memory o Ryan Donaghey, 2010 graduate o Campbell High School, who will orever be

with Campbell High School
