dedicated their facility tothe father of Hudson CableTelevision, Coleman Kelly, attheir open house on Sunday,Nov. 1.

During the humblebeginnings of Hudson Cable,Coleman purchased, created,and operated the cableequipment that recorded theHudson Board of Selectmensmeetings at town hall.

Hudson Cable ChairmanMichael OKeefe said during thededication, Since its inceptionin 1993, Coleman Kelly hasbeen synonymous with localaccess cable television inHudson. Many people, myselfincluded, affectionately referto him as the father of accesstelevision here. He was afounding member and chairmanof the towns cable televisioncommittee and facilitator of itsoperations through 2004.

OKeefe continued,Recognizing the importanceand value in having (citizens)informed, he assembled theequipment that allowed forthe recording and televising ofmeetings in the early days thatconsisted of two selectmensmeetings a month. However,it soon grew to include othercommittees and boards.

Having two masters ofelectrical engineering degrees,Coleman, not only operatedthe equipment from the one-room closet; he also wired theselectmens room for sound, aswell as video.

The broadcasting of thesemeetings became so successful

that Coleman then wired theRob Buxton Room, (originallythe planning department) for thepurpose of cable broadcast.

With the development of PEG (public, educational, andgovernment) channel broadcasting, the recording andbroadcasting of the events became separated into channels20, 21, and 22, respectively.

Coleman was the originator of Hudsons first cablecommittee, which has run with Colemans cable hand-offwhen he retired in the late 1990s.

From that small recording and equipment closestmeasuring four feet by six feet, with a stand-alone metalchair, HCTV expanded their facility to a storage facility onOld Derry Road.

With the building of the Senior Center, HCTV took upresidence on the first floor of the North Barn in 2014.

HCTV has grown from that one-room closest to afull-blown production center, available for use free of

charge by the residents ofHudson for their filming orproduction needs.

Chairman OKeefecontinued to state, Ofcourse, the drivingfactor would be money.

Coleman knew it wouldtake significant funds and,so, in 2001 proposed theestablishment of a capitalreserve fund that could beused to save up for this. Thevoters approved this andover the years portions ofthe monies received fromthe cable franchise feeswere added to this fund.Those funds grew and 12years later, in 2013, thetown approved a plan to usethose funds to construct thefacility youre standing intoday.

The facility hosts a greenroom where performersand guests may rest andrelax between takes or waitfor their time to use thefacilities. In addition, thefacility has an equipmentroom, two editing rooms, acontrol room, conferenceroom and state-of-the-artstudio control room.

Our studio is the bestcable studio in the Stateof NH, stated CableFacilitator Jim MacIntosh.We are a green building,and being green allowedus to save thousands ofdollars when building andeven now as operators ofHCTV. We have a virtualset, an interview studio, afully functioning kitchenfor our kitchen shows and

the ability to create any setwe may be asked to create.Our LED ceiling and floor

lighting allows us to create different backgrounds for anyspecific type of light need we may encounter.

In December 2014 in order to keep up with the greenecological theme, the studio lighting was upgraded toenergy saving lighting. The total cost of the upgradewas offset by a rebate from PSNH (now Eversource) of$36,146.84, which saved more than 66 percent of the costquoted by the winning project bidder.

HCTV has created 173 shows of various types for publicviewing at the studio, all free of charge. In addition,280 shows have been submitted to HCTV from residentswho borrowed the equipment. In total shows, HCTVhas broadcast 236 government meetings, 173 non-studioproductions, 195 resident-submitted programs, 85 locallycreated shows, and 689 HCTV programming productions.

In the United States, VeteransDay annually falls on Nov. 11. Thisday is the anniversary of the signingof the armistice, which ended theWorld War I hostilities betweenthe Allied nations and Germanyin 1918. Veterans are thanked fortheir services to the United States onVeterans Day.

Veterans Day is intended to honorand thank all military personnelwho served the United States in allwars, particularly living veterans. Itis marked by parades and churchservices and in many places theAmerican flag is hung at half mast. Aperiod of silence lasting two minutesmay be held at 11 a.m. Someschools are closed on Veterans Day,

while others do not close, but chooseto mark the occasion with specialassemblies or other activities.

Veterans Day is officially observedon Nov. 11. However, if it falls on aweek day, many communities holdtheir celebrations on the weekendclosest to this date. This is toenable more people to attend andparticipate in the events. FederalGovernment offices are closedon Nov. 11. If Veterans Day fallson a Saturday, they are closed onFriday, Nov. 10. If Veterans Dayfalls on a Sunday, they are closed onMonday, Nov. 12. State and localgovernments, schools and non-governmental businesses are notrequired to close and may decideto remain open or closed. Publictransit systems may follow a regular

or holiday schedule.On the 11th hour of the 11th

day of the 11th month of 1918 anarmistice between Germany and theAllied nations came into effect. OnNov. 11, 1919, Armistice Day wascommemorated for the first time. In1919, President Wilson proclaimedthe day should be filled with solemnpride in the heroism of those whodied in the countrys service and withgratitude for the victory. There wereplans for parades, public meetingsand a brief suspension of businessactivities at 11am.

In 1926, the United StatesCongress officially recognized the

end of World War I and declaredthat the anniversary of the armisticeshould be commemorated withprayer and thanksgiving. TheCongress also requested thatthe president should issue aproclamation calling upon theofficials to display the flag of theUnited States on all Governmentbuildings on Nov. 11 and invitingthe people of the United Statesto observe the day in schools andchurches, or other suitable places,with appropriate ceremonies offriendly relations with all otherpeoples.

An Act (52 Stat. 351; 5 U. S.Code, Sec. 87a) was approved onMay 13, 1938, which made Nov.

11 in each year a legal holiday,known as Armistice Day. This daywas originally intended to honorveterans of World War I. A fewyears later, World War II required thelargest mobilization of service menin the history of the United Statesand the American forces fought inKorea. In 1954, the veterans serviceorganizations urged Congress tochange the word Armistice toVeterans. Congress approved thischange and on June 1, 1954, Nov. 11became a day to honor all Americanveterans, where ever and wheneverthey had served.

In 1968 the Uniforms HolidayBill (Public Law 90-363 (82 Stat.250)) made an attempt to moveVeterans Day to the fourth Mondayof October. The bill took effect in

1971. However, this caused a lot ofconfusion as many states disagreedwith this decision and continued tohold Veterans Day activities on Nov.11. In 1975, President Gerald R.Ford signed Public Law 94-97 (89Stat. 479), which stated that VeteransDay would again be observedon Nov. 11 from 1978 onwards.Veterans Day is still observed onNov. 11.

HelpingYour Child Succeed

submitted by Joanne Curry, Alvirne High SchoolA national campaign launched by TeachingTolerance over a decade ago, Mix It Up at LunchDay, encourages students to identify, questionand cross social boundaries. It is a school-basedproject to give young people an opportunity toget outside their comfort zone and get to knowothers whom they might not otherwise try toknow. It is an activity that encompasses the CoreValues of Alvirne High School.

On Oct. 27, organized by the WATS Club(Were All The Same) Alvirne participated inthis years event. Upon entering the cafeteria,students randomly received a Mix it up braceletand sat with student leaders who facilitatedactivities at their lunch table. The goal of theproject is to get students to learn more about

others who are different or hang out with differentgroups. In addition, to the student leaders, the BNaturals, the school band, faculty and staff wereall integral participants in helping make this event aresounding success.

One thing that makes Mix It Up at Lunch Dayso great is that it takes a light-hearted approach toa serious problem. Switching seats and having achat with someone new is a pretty simple way toreduce the number of painful experiences caused byexclusion, prejudice and bullying.

submitted by Jeff and Jaimi KosaOn Saturday, Oct. 31, at Trinity High School in Manchester, 30

teams of high school students competed in the first VEX RoboticsCompetition of this 2015-2016 season. Schools, such as PembrokeAcademy, Pinkerton Academy, andTrinity High School, each had fiveto 10 teams competing. Alongsidethem were a couple of smaller teams,including TechnoMagic, part of the

Legacy of Learning 4-H Club basedin Pelham. LOLs TechnoMagic teamis comprised of four local students:

Jasper and Jade Kosa of Pelham,Anthony DeRosa of Hudson, andNicholas Burke of Derry.

The students worked through thesummer and fall designing, building,testing, programming and practicingdriving an 18-inch robot around apartial version of the 12-foot gamefield located in their basement labat their coachs house. The robot wasrequired to pick up small foam ballsaround the field and shoot them intotheir goal during two-minute matches.

At the tournament on the 31st, working together in variousalliances with other robots, TechnoMagic placed secondoverall after nine qualifying matches. Then, during the finals,TechnoMagic formed a strong alliance with third-rankedAIR Strike, the Aquidneck Island Robotics 4-H Club basedin Rhode Island. Together, the robots operated by this pairof 4-H clubs were able to post the highest score for thetournament, earning over 200 points with nearly 50 balls intheir goal. Their third alliance partner, Trinitys E team, was

also instrumental in helping the three-way alliance secure thesecond-place position after seven matches in the eliminationrounds second place by just nine points in the final match. If

just one more bonus ball had made it in their high goal, these4-H teams would be holding the first place trophy. Fortunately,they both have several more chances to reach that goal. AIRStrike 4-H Club will compete in Rhode Island on Nov. 14,while TechnoMagic will be back at it on Dec. 6 at PembrokeAcademy.

Congratulations to the winning alliance made up ofPinkertons Nautilus team, Phillips Academy Andovers Parallaxteam, and Trinitys J team.

Once a child has begun their formal education withinany school system, developing good habits aroundpreparation for school and for doing homework isvery important. A child who begins their educationalexperience by creating good habits will tend to continuethose actions as they progress through school and theirwork lives as well. Remember, bad habits are hard to breakfor everyone.

If we look at a childs job between the ages of 6 and18 as being a student, what kind of environment doesa student need to be successful in their home? To draw

a comparison, what makes a workenvironment effective for an adult in any

job? To name a few things; having thesupplies you need, an environment thatminimizes distractions, a place to workthat allows a person do what is needed,and the ability to find resources whenthey are needed. Many of us used to doour homework at the kitchen table; it isa great place. It is big enough to spreadout materials, usually pens and pencilsare nearby and the lighting is prettygood. If there is a desk in your childsroom, that is fine, but there is always thechance that they may be off task if theyare out of sight. Creating a schedule todo school work can be helpful. You knowyour child best. Pick a time that makessense and stick with it to create goodhabits. As a parent, you will eventuallyhear the statement, I did my homework

in school. If they have finished it, have your child showyou the homework during the scheduled time. If they didfinish, that is great; if not, you have provided a time forthem to get it done.

If any of us is at work and get constant interruptionswith phone calls, requests for information, or loud noises,it can be hard for us to get our work done. The samegoes for a student working at home. Depending on theactivity, some students may require quiet while for others,music playing in the background is not a bad thing. In theage of technology, distractions come in so many forms.Cell phones, texting, social media, and television can allcreate distractions that are not productive. If you create ascheduled homework time and space, make it a no mediazone and have all devices turned off. Unless a studentneeds to access the internet to complete an assignment,

unplugging for a while is a good thing. If this is a struggle,you can set the example by having everyone in your homeunplug during scheduled homework time.

Helping with homework becomes more complicatedover time. Sooner or later, there will come a time whenthe students homework is something a parent cannot helpwith. If your child has homework you dont understand,have them explain it to you. Most of the time if they canexplain it, they have an understanding of the material. Ifthere is a textbook or workbook for the class, you canlook at questions in the book and read them to see if thestudent knows the material. (Sometimes the answers arein the back of the book.) If you are directly involved withyour childs education they will be more likely to seehow important their education really is. Checking overhomework with your child is always a good thing.

If good habits begin at an early age, it will be less likelythat homework time will be a struggle as students get intomiddle and high school.

by Doug RobinsonThe Town of Hudson has begun to raise revenue by selling homes

and properties that are in default of paying their taxes.As reported by the HLN, Nov. 14, 2014, At the direction of Hudson

Selectmen, the proceeds from the sales of 18 town properties willbe used for infrastructure repairs in the town. Shortly after the lasttown election, last March, selectmen asked for a list of tax-deededproperties that have been owned by the town for three years orlonger.

The town has recently sold properties at 13 Forest Road, 17 FederalSt. and 2 Merrill St. for a total net to the town of $293,000.

Properties on 14 Adams Dr., 5 Hopkins Dr., 19 Merrimack St., 11

Summer Ave., and 6A-B Catalpa Dr. are still available for purchase.The assessed (original) values of the properties total $1.428

million as previously reported by the HLN.The town has signed a contract with DiBernardo Real Estate for the

sale of the town properties, and has extended their contract with thisreal estate firm through July 2016.

Hudson Selectmen are currently wrestling with the exact use ofthese new funds and the consensus so far has been to use thesefunds to finance improvements to town building, as well at the repairand upkeep of town properties (including recreations), thus savingtaxpayers money.

It really stinks learning that you need a new roof, commentedBoard Chairman Rick Maddox. Even in government, these expensesseem to come when the budgets are very tight, and where do we findthe money to repair the leaking roof at the Recreation Center? We cancreate an account specially designed for this purpose and not affectthe tax base to the voter. The town administrator has been taskedwith the creation of a warrant which will go the voters to talk aboutthe use of these funds. Currently, these funds will sit in the reserve orunfunded balance account.

My Oh My the Pies did Fly

by Doug RobinsonThe scene came directly from the movieAnimal House. What

better time could a young Cub Scout have but to toss a whippedcream pie into the face of their choosing?

Such was the event at the annual pack meeting, which celebratedthe selling of popcorn as a Cub Scout fundraiser.

As the deal went, Scouts would be allowed to tosswhipped cream pies into the face of their leader,friends, or parents, equal to the number of popcornsales they made.

Cub Scouts Wyatt Whitesell, Ryan Gasdia, andRoman Provencher sold the most popcorn with salesof $1,400, $540 and $535 respectively.

As the Scouts lined up and received their creampies, those receiving the pie-in-the-eye prizetightened up their collars, removed their glasses andliterally took one for the team.

In total, the Scouts earned the right to toss 79 pies

into 79 lucky receiving faces.Parents laughed, leaders laughed, and most of all,

the scouts laughed.Monies raised from the selling of the popcorn

will be used to offset expenses foran overnight trip to the Museumof Science in Boston, as well asawards for the Scouts,and other trips as needed.

Top three winners, Wyatt Whitesell (right), Ryan Gasdia (center) and Roman Provencher start thefestivities off as they team up to throw their pies into the face of their Scout leader, Gary Gasdia.

donated some of the farmland off County Roadto the Town of Hudson. Today, close to a fencedin baseball diamond, there is a granite memorialidentifying Jette Field; a great gesture and memoryfor all to enjoy. The plow on the marker symbolizesEdmonds love of the land. In the spring of 2013,102-year-old Fernand, brother of Edmond, threwout the first pitch to begin the baseball season.

Over the years family members tapped fromthe trees seen in front of the house. Sap wasboiled down maple syrup made by and for family

members.You can still drive by 117 Lowell Road and lookupon the old homestead as it stands today. Thefarmland was sold when Rose downsized. Rosepassed away in 1996. Although you are drivingby the old farmland for memories, much of it hasevolved into Fox Hollow as well as Teledyne, thememories are never to be forgotten.

Alciere Criticizes Marinese Marines run a program called Toys for Tots, providing toys for needy

children. Businesses get asked to allow a donation box to be placed in their

building. Typically, a Reservist will make the request of his or her full-timeemployer. Since the request is made on behalf of the Marines, the Reservistgoes home and changes into his or her fancy Marine Corps uniform, and theboss is surprised to see the worker dressed that way and this puts the boss inthe mood to say yes. I was at work when that happened one time.

Isnt it kindhearted of the Marines, when theyre not busy droppingnapalm on children in Viet Nam or slaughtering children in Iraq andAfghanistan, to take the time to gather toys to distribute to needy children?

Need for Sidewalks Becoming More ApparentI got some really nice responses from people who are interested in

sidewalks on Pinecrest and Talent Roads. Several people would also like tosee sidewalks on Page Road. I copied and pasted a few responses:

Pinecrest is a route that many kids take to get to the middle school,and weve seen parents walking younger kids to GMS, as well. People drivesignificantly over the speed limit, and its very dangerous to walk on the side

of the road. We tried it once for the Memorial Day parade, and we agreedwe wouldnt do it again because we were so uncomfortable walking withouta sidewalk.

I live on Gibson off of Pinecrest. I have the same fears of hitting

someone every time I leave or go home. Id like to sign the petition. I hope to see a sidewalk on Pinecrest all the

way to Hillcrest.I would love to see the sidewalk near the elementary school expanded all

the way down Pinecrest!I was in touch with the town manager who said he would help me

develop a petition. He suggested that we try to get as many signatures aspossible. If anyone has experience with paving, engineering, etc., it wouldbe great to talk with you about the reasons for the costs for this type ofproject. Also, anyone who has experience with government grants I wouldlove to talk with you.

ere are people who live in Litchfield who feel strongly that sidewalkson our busier roads will make it a safer community. I hope more people canbe persuaded that this is indeed going to be of benefit to our town. If youwould like to help with this process or simply sign the petition please emailme at [email protected].

Hudson CommunityTelevision Returns

to Town $72,000from Franchise Fees

by Doug RobinsonHudson Cable Television will be returning to the town

approximately $72,000 from income received from its franchisebilling.

Cable subscribers are required to pay an additional fee of4 percent of their cable bill, which is called a franchise fee.These fees are negotiated between the cable company, cablecommittee, and then finally approved by the Hudson Board ofSelectmen.

Last March, the voters of Hudson approved the establishmentof a Hudson Community Television Revolving fund for thepurpose of providing community television access for public,educational, or government use. Eighty percent of the revenuesreceived from cable television (not internet) franchise fees, orother income derived from the Town of Hudson cable televisionoperations shall be deposited into the fund, and the money shallbe allowed to accumulate from year to year, and shall not be

considered part of the towns general surplus.The warrant continued: These funds may be expended

only for purposes of community television access for public,educational, or governmental, cable facilities equipment,maintenance, renovations, or associated operating andadministrative purposes.

The remaining 20 percent of those franchise fees wasdesignated to be returned to the town and be allocated to thegeneral fund.

The 2016 financial amount to be returned to the Town ofHudson is $72,000.

Franchise fees, according to Town Administrator Steve Malizia,are for a period of 10 years and cannot exceed 5 percent andmust be approved by the Hudson Board of Selectmen. Shouldthe budgeted amount be reduced, that reduction would alsoneed to be negotiated.

Franchise fees are not inclusive, and should another cablecompany wish to service the Town of Hudson, they would needto negotiate with the board of selectmen as well.

The selectmen have currently determined that the franchisefees that are returned to the Town of Hudson should remaincommitted to IT infrastructure improvement.

One particular discussion has been conducted to use thefunds for the completion of the fiber optic cable that willcomplete the cable loop to Burns Hill Fire Station and RobinsonRoad.

No decision has been made at this time on the use of thefunds.

by Laurie JasperHudson Memorial School hosted an

informational meeting entitled, Talking toYour Kids about Drugs, on Tuesday, Oct. 27, inconjunction with Red Ribbon Week in Hudson.Red Ribbon Week is an alcohol, tobacco, drugand violence prevention awareness campaignobserved annually in October. Approximately 60attended the event, which was open to parentsfrom all schools but in particular for parents ofelementary and middle school students.

HMS Principal Keith Bowen welcomed thosein attendance and introduced HMS SchoolCounselor Karen OBrien.

The program began with the video Alexs Story.In the video, Alex explains how he first beganto use marijuana and alcohol before eventuallyadvancing to cocaine and heroin, while a student

in the Hudson Schools. OBrien then welcomedRosemary Smith-Berry, Alexs mother, who sharedthat Alex has now been 652 days in recoverythat day, is in school full time, works and wantsto be an addiction counselor. Alex also helpsPlymouth State University Tiger Group tell hisstory throughout the state.

My biggest concern when I do this are theparents who arent here. My wish is that youwill go and talk to other parents tomorrow.Rosemary said it is important to pay attention toyour children and watch for changes in behavior,

activities, friendships. Trust your instincts, shesaid.

Rosemary said she and others are starting aHudson coalition for awareness,which will involve the schooldistrict, police, fire department

and members of the community. There will bea meeting Wednesday, Nov. 18 at 6 p.m. at theSchool District Offices, 20 Library St.

Lisa Vasquez, substance misuse preventioncoordinator for the Greater Nashua Public HealthDepartment, spoke to the parents about preparing

for the talk, having the talk and thenfollowing up on the talk about the dangersof drugs, building a trusting relationship withyour children, and becoming educated aboutthe different substances out there. Accordingto a Youth Risk Behavior Survey in 2013 atAlvirne High School, 23 percent of studentsadmitted to binge drinking, and 42 percentadmitted to trying pot at least once.

Superintendent Bryan Lane pointed outthat equates to almost 600 students. Threepercent admit to trying heroin, whichrepresents 40 students. Prescription drugmisuse and heroin were also discussed.Vasquez said to be clear of expectationsin having the talk with your child, staypositive, avoid lecturing and thank them forhaving the talk with you. Vasquez said it

is important to teach kids to manage stressand release stress in a positive way, such asgoing for a walk, deep breathing, yoga, andensuring teens get plenty of sleep.

Sergeant Joseph Hoebeke from the HudsonPolice Department discussed the differenttypes of drugs that are out there and thetrends the police are seeing. Our intentionis education. You will not be an experton drug detection or drug identification,

Hoebeke said. He said there are gateway drugsthat lead to further experimentation, such ascannabis, prescriptions and inhalants, and saidNew Hampshire is one of seven states with thehighest percentage of drug abuse. A new trend,said Hoebeke, is vaporizer pens or vape pens,and Bryan Lane said the Hudson School Districtconsiders those drug paraphernalia. Hoebekereviewed signs to look for in people under theinfluence of drugs.

We want to educate and prevent addiction. To

me, marijuana is a gateway drug, it leads to biggerthings, thats my opinion, Hoebeke said.

Karen OBrien told the parents the students atHMS signed to be Safe Zone members, pledgingto respect themselves and keep Hudson MemorialSchool a drug free safe zone. HMS also hosteda poster contest. In addition, if parents orstudents need information or resources, they areencouraged to email [email protected].

cruised the neighborhoods on Halloween night toensure the safety of all residents and visitors whotook advantage of the trick or treating in town.Both HPD and HFD planned their routes in aneffort to greet and meet as many trick or treaters aspossible.

The Hudson Fire Department gave away close to5,000 glow necklaces to adults and children alike.The glow necklaces made those costumed andnot costumed more visible on the dark streets ofHudson. Its great to see you again, commenteda resident yelling from his front porch. Otherresidents and children ran up to the firefightersand readily accepted their glowing sticks of greenlight.

The Hudson Police Department offeredeveryone candy. Hi there, would you like somecandy the officer would ask as he got out of h is

cruiser and talked with every child andevery adult. At first, people shied awaythinking that they had done somethingwrong because the officer put his bluelight one, but they soon understood thatthe blinking light was for their safety.

Where you going, are you havingfun? asked Officer Will Kew. Bendingdown to give a young child a hug ortelling a child, Is that all the candy yougot, here, lets fill that pumpkin up tothe brim.

StaffphotosbyBobGibbs

by Bob GibbsIt was all treats and no tricks for the

children who attended the HudsonMalls annual fall fest. In fact, theevent offered much more than candyto those who stopped by.

Very popular for many of thechildren was a petting zoo withanimals from Charmingfare Farm inCandia. There was even a horse-drawn carriage ride, along with freegifts from Hannafords and TD Bank.All of the stores in the mall weregiving out Halloween treats to thechildren.

The photo opportunities wereendless. The Hudson Fire and Policedepartments were on site with a policepatrol car, a fire engine, and a rescueunit. Many of the children were veryexcited to get into the vehicles andhave their pictures taken. Adam Collier, 3. His father is

Staff photos by Tom Tollefson

by Tom TollefsonThe grounds of First Baptist Church in

Hudson offered a place of safety fromthe busy surrounding streets along Route111. Local parents flocked to the churchsThird Annual Trunk or Treat event withcostume-clad children in hand. Dozensof residents of all ages flocked to the safefamily event.

Its safe here and we cant bring thekids out by the main road because of thecars, said Angela Biskaduros, who washappy to find a safer environment that wasfree of traffic for Halloween night.

The event included a total of 13different opened car trunks, each onedecorated with a specific theme. Someof the themes included football, Hawaii,outer space, books, and even a trunk witha lit-up Christmas tree to start the yuletideseason early. The church members at eachtrunk handed out candy, toys, books, andeven toothbrushes.

Instead of going to 13 houses youhave 13 trunks with one-stop shopping,said Terry Mostrom, church member andorganizer of the event.

While the children walked aboutgathering their treats, the adults weretreated to hot cocoa, chips, hot dogs,coffee, and water at no charge.

This is a way of reaching out to thecommunity and re-interpreting theHalloween theme into a Christianoutreach ministry and sharing the gospelmessage of the love of God with our

community, said Reverend Moa Imchenof the First Baptist Church.

by Doug RobinsonThe parade marching ensemble resembled all the pomp of the

Thanksgiving Macys Day Parade in New York City.As the Alvirne High School Marching Band, also dressed in the

Halloween costumes, reached the Hills Garrison School, the littleadorables marched from the security of their school building, intothe secure and loving arms of the Alvirne High School MarchingBand.

The brilliance of autumns oranges, reds, and yellow colorsbounced off the Crayola-blue sky for the parade participants.

This is really great, commented school Principal MarilynMartineau. Our fifth grade introduction to band students get tomarch with their heroes --the (AHS) Marching Band. Many of thesekids are dreaming now of when they will be in that great marchingband.

Students, dressed as Mario and Luigi, magical princesses, masked

villains and masked heroes, ghosts and goblins, Spiderman andSuperman, fell into and behind the marching band, cheering,clapping, and celebrating.

Parents and friends watched from the confines of the curb,snapping their smart phones and cameras, capturing that specialmoment in time for all to enjoy.

One of the most commoncauses of tooth abrasion istooth brushing, and may beprevented several ways.

Choose the correct

toothbrush. Use one that hassoft, round-ended bristles.Choose a size and shape thatallows all surfaces of everytooth to be reached.Generally a small headedtoothbrush will allow this.Replace it every three months,or sooner, if its bristles becomeworn.

Use proper tooth brushingtechnique, which for mostinvolves placement of thetoothbrush at a 45 degreeangle to the tooth-tissuejunction, while gently movingback and forth with short,tooth-wide, strokes.Use a gentle touch toproperly clean teeth whileeffectively preventing injury totissues and teeth..

Lady Broncos Oustedby Exeter 1-0 in Playoffs

submitted by Frank RosierAsk any athlete and they will tell you they never want

to lose their last game of the season. Unfortunately onlyone team a year can do this, and the Lady Broncos willnot be that team. After suffering a heartbreaking loss toExeter, the season ends and, for the seniors, their highschool careers are over. This Alvirne team has a lotof things to celebrate, a 9-5-1 record, two three-gamewinning streaks and a home playoff game, but none of

these accomplishments makes the loss any easier.The game was a back-and-forth affair with few serious

chances by either team, and the half ended scoreless.The second half was much of the same as neither teamcould mount any serious threats. All signs seemed topoint toward overtime, which Alvirne was no stranger tothis season; however, with 6 minutes remaining, a longball to a speedy Exeter striker ended the Broncos season.The last six minutes Alvirne struggled to get a chance tolevel the match, but time ran out on their valiant effort.The players were inconsolable and tears flowed as theemotions of a tough-fought battle and long season pouredfrom them. Many players, mostly seniors, remained onthe field commiserating and trying to extend their seasonif only for a few moments.

As the seniors contemplate their next steps, many ofthem hope this is not their last school soccer game. Somewill be pursuing spots on college teams next fall, andfor them the pain of this loss may fade as they play atthe next level. You never forget your teammates nor thestruggles and successes you went through together, and,

unlike the loss, the memories they forged will never fade.Alvirne girls Soccer Season Highlights:

Nine-win season, total record 9-6-1 Finished 7th overall out of 18 teams Six shutout victories, including Nashua North

and Londonderry 32 goals scored in 16 games

Great Season Ladies!
