Locals gathered at the Hudson Police

Department on May 10 to hear an informational
seminar on how to properly raise backyard
chickens, whether a family is planning on using
the chickens as meat or eggs. The 4-H New
Hampshire Cluckers was the group putting on
the demonstration.
It was genuinely surprising how many people
showed up. It just goes to show how more and
more people are starting to make their way back
to the simpler, local way of living healthy. Having
your own chickens, with a rooster or not, is a
much healthier alternative to buying eggs and
meat from the large industries where the chickens
arent being treated humanely, where they have
horrible living conditions, how we arent able to
know what they are eating, and possibly injected
with all sorts of vaccines that we, as consumers,
are ingesting. One of the biggest benets of
having your own chickens is knowing exactly
where your meat or eggs are coming from, and
what is in the food we are ingesting. A lot of
people have lost touch
with how they get their
food products, and how
the animal goes from farm
to the consumers table.
Now, theres one thing
a lot of people dont know
about chickens, you do
not need a rooster for a
hen to lay eggs. Hens are
born with their eggs, just
like people, and with or
without a rooster; she will
lay an egg almost every
day of the year, that is
until she gets too old to
do so. Roosters are only
necessary if you plan on
breeding your birds, or use
them as meat. A roosters
job in the ock is to
protect his hens, and
fertilize the eggs that
they lay. Roosters
also have a tendency
to be very, very
loud. The common
misconception is that
roosters only crow in
the morning; this of
course is false. Roosters will crow all day, every
day, anytime, for any reason. And unless your
neighbors either love the sound or live ve miles
away, they will hear him.
Roosters can also be aggressive, even the
smaller breeds. Their job is to protect their hens,
and, yes, that means even from the hand that
feeds them. When males reach maturity they
grow what is called spurs on their legs; they use
these when they attack a predator or another
rooster, or in some cases you. From experience,
being attacked by those little buggers is not on my
to do list every morning. Lastly, hens really are
happier without a rooster in the ock. They like
being around their sisters and not having a male
constantly bullying them around telling them what
to do and when to breed with him. So, overall,
if youre going to start raising chickens, it is
recommended to not have a rooster in your ock.
Chickens are super easy to take care of. For
the most part theyre
happy in their coop
with an enclosed pen
area just clucking the
day away, telling each
other when they lay
an egg or if they see a
strange animal lurking
about. They are
inexpensive to house

After many years of hoping and planning, are
you ready for a Hudson Senior/Cable Center?
Allowed a preview Monday morning, both
oors are almost ready to go. Please mark your
calendars for March 31 for a ribbon cutting and
grand opening. The festivities get underway at
1 p.m. with tours scheduled from 2-4 p.m.
Beginning on Tuesday, June 3, the doors will
open for the rst day of operations, be it fun,
friendship, socializing and lunch or maybe
pool (no not swimming) or ping pong. Hudson
seniors have waited a long time for a home of
their own and this 5000-square-foot space is
ready to go, well, as soon as the chairs arrive.
Even with the default budget as an unintended
consequence of the March election, the senior
section of the building will open Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday each week from 8:45
a.m. to 3 p.m.
In the lower level of this beautiful red
building, designed to resemble the original red
barn at Bensons that burned several years ago,
is the HCTV center. This full-service studio,
with green screen and prior sets for many
different types of recording to be shown of the
cable channels 20, 21, 22. Tours of this high-
tech center will also be given after the ribbon
cutting on the 31st.
Painting Fun at GMS during Screen Free Week
submitted by the GMS PTO
Last week, the GMS gym turned into a
big art studio as 40 kids and helpers spent
an afternoon painting. Led by the Canvas
Roadshow, students were guided step-
by-step through the process of painting
owls using their choice of colors for the
background and the owls themselves.
The multicolored creations sported bows
and even crazy moustaches. Organized
by the PTO, this was a low-cost activity
during the schools Screen Free Challenge,
encouraging students to step away from
their TV, computers and video games and
get active.
We Dont Carry Firearms
by Len Lathrop
Editors note: Colin Coleman, owner of Ice
Arms AR-15, met with me on Tuesday, May 19
to respond to comments made at a Hudson
Selectmens meeting on May 19 that his business
is a gun shop. He explains that it is not and that
no guns will be for sale and no gun testing will
occur on site. See the article below for further
explanation.
While Hezers Bike shop no longer occupies
the building at the intersection of Central Street
and Lowell Road, the new business opening
there will not be a gun shop. Follow comments
made by a citizen Tuesday night at the Hudson
selectmens meeting and various website posts the
Hudson~Litcheld News was invited to visit.
Colin Coleman, the owner met with me for
over an hour Tuesday, May 19, while the facility
is not ready to open for another few weeks, what
it will be is a hybrid rearm repair shop that
specializes in AR-15 ries. Now that I am over
my head relative to his product, in layman terms,
I know there are no guns for sales; there is no
ammunition for sale in the building. One of the
questions I asked was if everything in the building
was stolen, could someone make a gun from the
parts, the answer was no, what could you do with
hundreds of barrels for an AR-15 and various
other parts.
Most of the sales come from hobbyists and
hunters across the country that need a replace
part or a different barrel for their advanced
sporting rie. Ice Arms AR-15 plans to ship more
than 500 packages with parts each month and
expects maybe 10 or so walk-in customers per
week. It is in basic layman terms a shipping hub
for replacement parts.
In keeping with not being a gun shop, no
testing will be done on site, and, if they do a
repair that has to be tested, Ice Arms has an
agreement with the Pelham Fish and Game Club
to use their range. Coleman explained that his
customers have spent from $1,000 up to $25,000
on their rearms and are true sports enthusiasts
and hobbyists.
State-of-the-art commercial kitchen
is ready for the unveiling.
Te control room for HCTV, just waiting
for operators and mixers.
Te studio itself complete with a green wall, which is green
and not to be confused with the green room. Tis green wall
allows for backgrounds to be projected behind the guests.
Te pool table is still covered and the chairs are along the wall, but staf on
site is confdent all will be ready for the ribbon cutting and opening.
Te view from outside the parking lot; this is the entrance to the senior portion of the building.

Help Needed to Complete
Faces Never Forgotten Project
submitted by New England Newspaper and Press Association
The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund is asking newspapers throughout the country
to help nd pictures of soldiers from their communities who were killed in action
in Vietnam for the new Faces Never Forgotten project. This project is an online
interactive display, and people will also be able to view it at the new Education
Center thats being built near the Vietnam Memorial Wall on the National Mall.
Out of the 58,000 soldiers killed, the VVMF still needs 24,000 pictures. In light of
such a big challenge, theyd like local newspapers to help locate a picture of any of
the soldiers from their circulation area that dont already have a picture in the display.
Conceivably, your paper could run an article asking if anyone has a picture of the
soldier(s) - perhaps as part of an upcoming Memorial Day feature, and you could also
check your own archives for a news, activity or sports photo. Some papers may even
be willing to contact the local high school to see if it has a yearbook picture to honor
an alum in the display who is missing a photo.
Here is the request from the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund:
The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund Faces Never Forgotten project needs help
obtaining missing photos of Vietnam veterans from New England. These photos
will help complete an electronic Wall of Faces in the new education center at the
Vietnam Memorial Wall.
View the gallery in progress at http://www.vvmf.org/Wall-of-Faces.
These are moving tributes to fallen soldiers. Would you please help us locate a
photo of each soldier from your area?
Check the display, and if there is a soldier from your area who is missing a photo,
perhaps you could check to see if you have a photo in your newspaper archive and/
or run a notice in your paper. If you obtain the photos, just send them to NENPA and
they will forward them on to the VVMF.
Guide to determining which photos are needed
The following are instructions are on how to get the updated status of the photos in
the display.
1. Go to: http://www.vvmf.org/Wall-of-Faces
2. Click Advanced Search, to the right of the search box
3. Input the city, county, or state that coincides with your circulation area
4. Scroll to the last box and check: Does Not Have a Default Photo
5. Hit Submit
This will show any names of soldiers from your area that is missing a photo.
Thank you for your help with this very worthwhile tribute.
Please send photos to: New England Newspaper & Press Association, Faces Never
Forgotten, 370 Common St., Dedham, MA 02026.

Hudson rst graders enjoyed a wonderful time celebrating
with their special friends. A large tree with one leaf for
every rst grader decorated the gymnasium wall. This
beautiful tree, made by the art teacher, featured the words
Coming Together. This truly summed up what this year has
been all about for the young students. This is the rst time
all rst grade classrooms are in one building in the district.
Students invited one or two special friends to visit and
spend the morning with them. Their guests were greeted by
PTO members as they checked in. Scott Baker and Mary
Ellen Labrie took to the microphone to warmly welcome all
guests to the school and thank all those who made the day
possible. As guests joined in the Pledge of Allegiance, the
curtain opened to a stage full of smiling rst graders waving
anxiously as they spotted their friends in the audience.
Students performed two songs that they learned in
preparation for the day with their music teacher, followed by
an entertaining performance by performer Steve Blunt. Mr.
Blunts performance had children and adults all smiles and
on their feet joining in the fun. A light brunch and visit to
the classrooms followed before the students were dismissed
for the day. This event took place over three days, with ve
classes celebrating per day.
PTO coordinators Kathy Coppi, Alexa Darbe, and Yojna
Mathur worked for weeks planning and prepping, while
working with administration and school nurse Linda
Philcrantz to be sure everything ran smoothly. Art teacher
Mrs. Brooks and music teacher Mrs. Parsons worked with
students on the artwork and music that made the day
extra special. Thank you also to Sue Zelonis and all of the
cafeteria staff who gave their time to help as well. Baked
good donations were provided by Bensons Bakery and Caf
and Panera Bread. A big thank you goes out to all parents
for food donations and to all volunteers who helped each
day. The biggest thanks to the rst graders and rst grade
teachers for all their hard work.

On Saturday, May 10, more than 30 Alvirne JROTC
cadets and parents, under the direction of Col.
Kevin Grady USAF (Ret.) and SMSgt. Mike Dubeau
USAF (Ret.) Aerospace Science instructors, assisted
members of the VFW Mens Auxiliary 5791 with their
annual spring property cleanup at the post on Bockes
Road. The cadets worked together in rain at times to
thoroughly clean all the tables in the function hall,
pick up trash, and perform landscaping around the
property.
These cadets assist the VFW throughout the year
whether working around the post, presenting the
colors at various events or even carrying the colors for
our members in various parades and public events.
The VFW and its auxiliaries would like to extend
our thanks and appreciation for the countless hours
of volunteer time these cadets give to not just the post
but the Hudson community every year. These joint
efforts assist not only the JROTC cadets in living up to
their mission to: develop citizens of character, but
also the VFW and auxiliaries to live up to the VFW
motto: To honor the dead by helping the living!

Tanks to All for Successful Food Drive
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the residents of Hudson,
Litchfeld and Pelham for their generous response to our Annual Food Drive held
Saturday, May 10. Also, to postal management, rural carriers, city carriers, church
and family volunteers as well as local schools and businesses for displaying posters
and billboard announcements for our drive. With the resources provided and
the time ofered by all the volunteers we collected 10,800 pounds of food from
Hudson and Litchfeld residents. Pelham carriers collected 1,235 pound of food
for their food pantry. People in need should contact food banks in their towns
which are Blessed John XXIII Church, First Baptist Church of Hudson, Litchfeld
Community Church and the Food Pantry of Pelham at St. Patrick Church.
Tank you for your donations.
Frank Maglio, Food Drive Coordinator, Hudson
Response to Bruce Atwoods Latest Letter
Temperature records are a far more complicated issue than you might ever
imagine. I have been in the business for over 40 years. We use climate data
every day. We have all the old data sets. We used them to correlate with factors
like El Nino/La Nina, ocean and solar cycles, volcanism, and mans efects like
urbanization to make seasonal and longer-term forecasts for paying clients.
So we are very sensitive to changes in the data sets. One would think the old
data was sacrosanct and remained the same but that is not the case by any means.
Back in 1990, NOAA released its frst U.S. data set compilation, USHCN (U.S.
Historical Climate Network). It had adjustments for a factor, urbanization, that
my early mentor and the father of climatology, Helmut Landsberg suggested was
essential. We all know cities are warmer than rural areas at night as they tend to
hold their heat.
Winds during the day mix the air and the diference becomes small. It was
regarded in 1990 as the premium data set for the world. Te global data was not
adjusted for urban warmth because records about the location of the precise station
locations (called metadata) were not available. In the late 1990s, after the super El
Nino of 1998, while the global data was showing a century long warming as cities
dominated, the U.S. data had a sine wave with warming to 1940 cooling to 1978,
warming to 1998 but no long term trend. However, the warming of the 1930s
dominated. James Hansen of NASA (which uses NOAA data) said back then Te
U.S. has warmed during the last century but the warming hardly exceeds natural
variability. Indeed, the warmest decade was the 1930s and the warmest year 1934
(1.1F warmer than 1998).
When asked why the U.S. was not warming, a note was made on the NASA
site that the U.S. was only 1.6 percent of the globe and regional variances were
not unreasonable. But this inconvenient fact caused the politicians who hold the
budgetary purse strings to urge the scientists to make the data sets more consistent.
Te obvious solution was to remove the U.S. urban adjustment and do some
blending (called homogenization), which they did in 2008. Te claim was the
blending would improve the urban issue, but in fact it did more to contaminate the
more accurate rural data. Tey also, without any explanation, cooled of the prior
warm peak in the 1930s with every new version (we are now four versions later).
1998 is now 0.13F warmer than 1934.
Tis past winter as record cold dominated, another quick fx was implemented
that resulted in a warming for the U.S. and most states. Maine was an egregious
example. Te change in Maines temperature record from the dataset switch is
dramatic. Te data as of February showed a slight cooling trend of negative .03
degrees per decade since 1895. Te new data set shows a substantial .23 degrees per
decade warming. Tey cooled of the early 1900s for Maine by over 4F!
Fortunately we have the raw data set. It does not have the homogenization
and other adjustments but is subject to urbanization warming. And here it shows
the cold season from October to March was the coldest since 1911-1912 over
a century ago. HCN stands for Historical Climate Network (1221 mostly stable
stations with the longer histories).
Note the 60 year cycle that matches the ocean and solar cycles. Tese natural
cycles suggest it is all downhill from here (a story for another day). Tere is no
evidence of the linear warming from increasing CO2, the theory demands.
Tis next chart is from the nations foremost state climatologist (John Christy)
and was used in the U.S. Senate and House testimony. Te state record highs
and lows are not altered because every TV station and forecast company and local
NWS has them listed, and mayhem would ensue if the record highs and lows were
changing every year. Te total number of 90F and 100F days has been declining
since the 1930s. Te all-time state records shows what we believe is the real
temperature trends the past 120 years. Twenty-three of the 50 record highs were
set in the 1930s and 38 before 1960. Tere have been more record lows than highs
since the 1940s. Our climate has been unusually benign in recent decades despite
the hyping of extremes.

About the Abysmal Care our
Veterans Are or Are Not Receiving
When I saw in the news on Sunday that our president was so upset and angry
about the reports and evidence of the abysmal care or no care and deaths of our
veterans, I had to share with someone just how upset and angry I am with this
president. Since his frst term in ofce, this is yet another example of how his
chosen VA administrator has directed the care and well being of our veterans, this
is not the frst time, its become a regular nightmare for all of us to endure. And
each time our president feigns being upset and angry but not much has changed
in almost 5 years hes in ofce. And why does this continue to not surprise me
and us that our veterans are being treated so poorly and dishonorably, actually not
treated and just being allowed to die, while theres been a steady stream of lawsuit
settlements by the government while on his watch with the families of veterans
who have died while waiting to be cared for.
Teres a glaring reason why this is happening and why it has happened since he
took ofce and every president before him, when this has happened before, that
we have a president of the world, who is distracted with his attention on the afairs
of other countries and not his own country and citizens and veterans. We have
had presidents of the world who want to lead the free world, not presidents of the
United States who want to really lead for the citizens of the United States; whether
they voted for him or not.
It is this president and any president before him, who does not give his complete
and full attention to all of the needs of this country and all of the people he
represents, that when these atrocities happen to our veterans and to U.S. in other
disasters; that they are responsible for happening, along with all of the deaths of
the innocents. To people like President Obama and other presidents before him, as
well as their supporters, these innocent deaths, like those of our veterans who were
waiting for healthcare; they are just collateral casualties of running a government.
Tis president and any president before him that this has happened while on their
watch, they are morally unft to represent this country and its citizens. Remember
it was reported a few weeks, that this president attended a memorial service for the
victims of the mass shooting at Fort Hood in Texas in the morning and then right
afterward, he goes to a fundraising event for himself. I dont vote anymore because
of these never ending examples of the failures of our feral (all defnitions apply)
Government and our presidents, for me to vote means I support this government
that is no longer relevant in my life; it is a failure that I wont support.
Tis is the same president who is the leader of our government and responsible
for the May 13 reports that budget cuts to the FAA are the cause for another fve
year delay in funding the urgently needed highest level of technology air trafc
safety systems to prevent mid-air collisions, for the thousands of bridges across the
country that are in critical need or repair or complete replacement, and for the $68
million of our tax dollars going to the government of the Ukraine to improve their
police forces. What does it take to make people angry at this government?

Weather is Not Static
Te weather varies, how well we know. Day-to-day and month-to-month and
year-to-year.
You can plot it for yourself on the amazing site: http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cag/
time-series/us. You can pick the globe, the lower 48 states, a state, or even part
of a state. Pick any month or group of months, a year, or fve years. With a few
clicks you can plot the temperature for the last 118 years. You will see that the
temperature is quite variable.
Pick June. 1933 is the hottest, then 1918.
Pick July. You will see that 1934 is the hottest, just above 2013.
Pick August. 1983 is the hottest, followed by 2011.
Pick the whole summer: June, July, and August. 1936 is just ahead of 2012 and
2011.
Pick the winter: December through March. Te warmest is 2012, then 2000
and 1992.
Pick the whole year: 2012 is warmest, followed by 2006, then 1998, just like
President Obama said. 2012 was warmer than the rest by more than a degree F.
We see that whole years are more stable single months. If you plot them you will
see a trend.
In science the objective is to discover the truth. If a scientist were to present only
the data that shows one side of an argument, he would be ridiculed for his apparent
ignorance. Or he would be ostracized for misleading people.
Choosing to show only some of the data is called cherry picking.
Propagandists do it all the time. So if someone only quotes the temperature of a
given month they are propagandizing, unless they give you all the data. Climate is
by defnition the average weather for a long period of time. A few hot days are not
climate. You need to average the temperature over a longer time frame.
Pick the last fve, 10 or 20 years. In the lower 48 states they are the warmest ever
recorded. If you plot them you will see a trend.
But I could be just cherry-picking. What counts is the global land-sea
temperature.
For the globe the warmest years are 2010 and 2005, 1998, 2013 and 2003,
2002, 2009 and 2007 and 2006, 2012 and 2004, then 2001. Note the absence of
any year earlier than 1998.
If you plot them you will see a trend. http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cag/time-series/

Bigots Should be Ostracized
Te despicable remarks by Robert Copeland, a police commissioner, Wolfeboro,
NH; Donald Sterling, owner of the Los Angeles Clippers; Kanye West, singer;
Louis Farrakhan, spokesman for Nation of Islam; Clevin Bundy, Nevada rancher;
and Glenn Miller, Kansas killer and Ku Klux Klan member; show there are still
ignorant radicals in this country.
People who espouse these beliefs are failures in one or more facets of life. Tey
are uneducated or undereducated, might have been abused when younger, might
have signifcant marriage or family problems, or have not been successful in the
world, or think they can say or do anything because of their presumptive power.
Te common trait of the bigots is they have some form of jealousy for the
success of people they hate. Teir bigotry makes them feel more important by
putting down other people.
Although we continue to have some bigotry in this country, things have
improved, and it is less prevalent compared to many other countries in the world.
However, we have to continue to eliminate discrimination and bigotry in matters of
race, religion, ethnicity, gender, sexual preference, weaknesses and disabilities. Tis
is everyones responsibility. Bigots should be ferreted out and ostracized from civil
society.

Sea stars, hermit crabs and quahogs all came to
class at Grifn Memorial School last week with the
New England Aquariums Tide Pools Program. First
graders used their imaginations to turn into each of the
creatures found in the waters along our coast, using
their antennae to smell the world around them and their
shells to hide from hungry seagulls. One lucky student
in each class got to dress up as a sea star, complete with
a strange stomach that slid out to devour some food.
Then students had a chance to reach into portable tide
pools and interact with real creatures. The slimy foot of
a big snail and the scurrying hermit crabs were favorites.
Sponsored by the PTO, this presentation ties in directly
to the
rst grade
science
curriculum
and makes
learning
come to
life.

In recent years, there has been a resurgence of patriotic
pride. The U.S. ag can be seen everywhere to indicate a
symbol of unity, to remember the men and women serving
in our military and to remember those who have died for our
country. Many individuals asking questions about proper ag
etiquette have contacted the Veterans of Foreign Wars, and we
appreciate their questions.
To assist in displaying our nations symbol, I would like to
share a few guidelines: A ag displayed on a car should be
fastened to the right side bumper, antenna, or to the window.
If displaying a ag on a wall, the blue eld should be in the
upper left corner and it should never touch the ground. When
displaying an all-weather ag outdoors, 24 hours a day, there
should be a light near it so it is not in complete darkness.
Above all, when the ag becomes worn, replace it. For
additional ag etiquette information, visit the VFW website at
www.vfw.org or contact your local post.
Hudson Memorial Post 5791 will be conducting a Flag
Retirement Ceremony on Saturday, June 7, at 9 a.m. at the Post
home located at 15 Bockes Road.
Drop off your torn or faded U. S. ag at this location, or our
other two ag drop locations outside the Hudson Town Hall
and Hudson Police Department between now and Thursday,
June 5.
Remember Old Glory has been ying for more than 237
years and will be ying for many, many years in the future.
Thank you for showing your patriotic pride.

Congratulations to several world language students from
Alvirne High School who attained national recognition
for excellent performances on the 2014 National Spanish
Examinations.
Students who placed in the top-six spots statewide for each
level will be honored at a banquet on June 1. The Alvirne
students are Grace Carter, David Bitler, Samantha Belliveau,
Emma Stevens, Timothy Campbell, Dominique Kaempf, Devon
LaBonte and Michael Earl.
Students from Alvirne High School earned a total of six gold
(at or above 95
th
percentile), 14 silver (85
th
- 94
th
percentile)
and 15 bronze (75
th
84
th
percentile) medals along with 29
honorable mentions. Attaining a medal or honorable mention
for any student on the National Spanish Examinations is very
prestigious, said Kevin Cessna-Buscemi, national director of the
exams, because the exams are the largest of their kind in the
United States with over 154,000 students participating in 2014.
Students from Alvirne High School have a long history of
high achievement on these exams and were taught by Spanish
teachers Dede Garceau, Sarah Nassif, Jessica Paeplow and
Nancy Catao.
The National Spanish Examinations are administered each
year in grades 6 through 12, and are sponsored by the American
Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese.

of $10,000 or more
and maintain, and they provide you and your neighbors with fresh eggs for breakfast. A bag of chicken feed can cost
anywhere from $10-$25 and a bag, depending on the number of hens you have, and can last a month or more. The
wood chips used to line the coops oor are only $5-$10 a bag. The chickens themselves can vary in costs, if you buy
them from a hatchery or farm, or fair. The coop is the most expensive piece of starting your own hen house. Coops can
vary depending on the size, whether you build it yourself or buy one.
Chickens are hearty little things that do well in most climates given
that they have proper living conditions, the necessary food and water,
and a roof over their heads.
It is important to do your homework on owning chickens before you
bring them home. Different breeds provide your family with different
needs. There are breeds that are designed for laying eggs, some that
are used for meat, and some that are used for show purposes. All
this and more is what kids in the NH Cluckers group learn in their
monthly meetings. They go to fairs and put up displays educating the
public on raising chickens, have award ceremonies, and volunteer
at different organizations. . If there are any questions about raising
your own ock, or about the 4-H group contact http://extensions.unh.

On May 16, at about 9:30 a.m., the
Hudson Police responded to Lowell Road
at Birch Street for a reported disabled
tractor-trailer unit. The truck had lost the
rear wheels under the 53-foot trailer. The
trailer then dropped to the ground and
dragged until the truck stopped. The truck
was operating out of Oklahoma. The
truck was carrying plants for distribution
to local garden centers. D and R towing
was contacted to remove the truck and
was able to have the truck out of the
roadway by 11:26 a.m. Trafc was tied up
for about two hours while the truck was
removed. No other vehicles were involved
in the incident. The cause appears to be a
mechanical failure in the rear axle adjustment system.

Transparency and communication
are critical elements for an effective
government that is responsible to its
constituents. As your state senator
it is my job to be an accessible and
responsive representative, making sure
that your concerns, ideas, and opinions
are heard in Concord.
I believe that elected ofcials and
constituents, working together can
achieve great things for our community
and our state. I truly appreciate hearing
your thoughts about legislation and the
issues that are most important to you.
My goal is to work on your behalf and I need your insight to know
how best to serve this district.
As your state senator, I have focused on creating jobs and growing
the New Hampshires economy. I have promoted incentives for
small business start-ups that will bring investment and jobs to our
state. Additionally, I recently supported a bill would give a job-
creation tax credit to help existing businesses expand and reward
them for creating new jobs. As a state senator, I have worked
diligently to create a climate that will assist Granite Staters in starting
their own businesses. Our economy is improving and many people
are nally getting back to work, but there is still more work to be
done.
In addition to working on job creation and strengthening our
economy, I have been working on a number of bills that will
strengthen our public safety laws and protect victims to ensure New
Hampshire continues to be the safest state in the nation.
First is Joshuas Law creating the crime of domestic violence
which would take existing criminal charges commonly charged in
domestic violence cases and brings them under the umbrella of one
crime domestic violence. Police and prosecutors believe the paper
trail this creates would help to identify and stop repeat abusers.
The second is enhancing our human trafcking
laws by making prostituting minors a felony,
providing protection from criminal prosecution
or juvenile delinquency proceedings to children
who have been forced into prostitution or other
forms of human trafcking and making it a felony
to knowingly force a person to engage in labor or
sex acts against their will.
I have also cosponsored bipartisan legislation to
ensure that victims of domestic violence are not
discriminated against in their workplace.
I do want to keep you informed about what I am
doing as your state senator, but more importantly
I really want to hear from you. Thats why in
continuing to my outreach to my communities, I
will be hosting a town hall meeting on Thursday,
May 29, at 7 p.m., at the Grifn Memorial School.
I look forward to hearing from you.

In a joint training exercise both public safety departments
were exposed to an auto accident in which a vehicle had hit a
tree. An injured victim was trapped in the car, and the driver
appeared to be under the inuence of alcohol. This training
scenario gave the explorers a chance to experience what they
may face if they pursue careers in the emergency services.
While reghters and police ofcers each have different
duties, both groups need to work as a team to accomplish their
mission. Part of this experience was learning to work as a team
together to serve and protect the public.
HPD Ofcer Allison Cummings played the role of the driver
and wore goggles that turned her world into one of an alcohol-
impaired driver. The Police Explorer under the direction of
Ofcer Thomas Scotti took the driver away from the crashed
vehicle and preformed a eld sobriety test. The driver was
arrested and placed into custody. Both groups of explorer
learned about drunk driving as they were educated about the
breathalyzer and how to administer the test.
Meanwhile, the Fire Explorers assessed the victim still in the crash
vehicle and determined that they would have to remove the roof of
the car to get the victim. An explorer climbed into the rear seat of
vehicle and stabilized the victims head. A neck brace was applied
and the injured passenger was covered with a protective blanket as the
extraction began. After the wreck was deconstructed, the victim was
placed on a back board and move to the ambulance.
Each group leaned the different jobs but also what they had in
common and what each needed to complete their tasks.

Hudson Poets of All Ages Shine Bright
submitted by Rodgers Memorial Library
Aspiring poets of all ages showed their
creativity during the Rodgers Memorial
Library contest for residents in honor of

reading and prize ceremony took place
at the library on April 25. Prizes were
awarded in ve age categories: second
grade and younger, grades 3-5, middle
school, high school and adults. The
winners received award certicates and gift
certicates to a local bookstore.
The following are the winning poems in

(Middle School)
Sail
By Samantha Poole, grade 6
Gliding on silky waters
Blaming your truth on what was left behind
Listen
As if the waves are your way to know
Let the crashes show your mind you are in
control
Feel
The powerful engagement of letting go
Know why you can feel the wind
See
What it means to try against limits on earth
See how far you can push until you are
against yourself
Stretch
To see how far you sink
To see yourself as innite
Sail
Because no one is watching
Because the logic is in your mind
Because youre the only one who can feel

A Poem About Me
By Jodi Watterson
I am Jodi,
a girl who likes to giggle and have fun.
I am not someone who likes to be bored,
I like to dance and run.
I am happy when I am with my friend Talia,
we giggle all the time,
we love to play on the playground
and do the monkey bar climb!
I feel good about myself when I do well at
my dance recital
and when I get 100 percent on a test.
If I could be anything, I would be a
teacher,
Because Ive always thought teachers are
the best!
Now you know all about Jodi,
a funny, happy girl,
who likes to do all sorts of things,
especially to dance and twirl!
(Grades 3-5)
Snowy Winter Day
By Elaine Quarles
Snowy white roofs,
People in boots,
Hats, scarves
And mittens too
Come on bundle up,
Lets go out and play!
We need to go out
Before the end of the day.
We build a snowman
And slide down the slopes
And build up an igloo
For extra high hopes
As the sun goes down
I pop up and say
It was snow that made this
Snowy winter day
(High School)
Remember When
By Katie Wagner
Photos
Movies
Memories
all together causing us to think back
to when were ve
and to say
Do you remember when
we fought dragons
when you were the prince and
I was your princess
when we climbed that big hill
and called it our mountain
when the world was against us and
we were so young and small yet
every time we
we conquered it all
do you remember when
Then we laugh
slowly ipping through albums
and the yellowing pages
thinking back
to when we were seventeen
and we say
Do you remember when
we fought limits
when you were Romeo
I was your Juliet
when we climbed that ladder
and called it success
when the world was against us and
we were so confused and lost yet
every time we
we conquered it all
do you remember when
Explore some more
nding more recollections
tucked away for safe keeping
looking back
to when we were forty-ve
and we say
Do you remember when
we fought each other
you were the bad guy
and I was your crying lover
we climbed that rollercoaster
and called it our life
when the world was against us and
we were so stressed with regret yet
every time we
we conquered it all
do you remember when

Always remember those

those good and bad times
hold them close
so that when were ninety nine
well look back
and well say

Do you remember when

we ruled the kingdom
when wed catch reies
name them, then free them
when the sky was our limit
and we were scared of nothing
when the world was against us
and we were so young and small yet
every time we
we conquered it all and
do you remember when

Crazy Creek
By Peter T. Sperling

I went down to Crazy Creek
to watch the neon shes swim.
My calendar was nude that week,
which set me free to follow whim.
The trees leaves painted on the air,
and all that crawled and swam and ew
in bright kaleidoscopic are,
exploded purple-green and blue,
their colored shards cast all about
like a church turned inside out.

Grifth Comes up with Sweet 16th
Spot in PASS Debut
submitted by Eric LaFleche
Derek Grifth made his debut in the Pro All Star
Series on Saturday, May 10 and learned what it
meant to race with some of the best drivers in the
Northeast.
The Hudson native tried out the waters on the
very competitive Super Late Model series and
came home with a very respectable 16th place
nish. Starting 20th on the grid allowed Grifth to
lay back and observe the racing ahead, all while
devising their plan of attack for the later stages of
the race.
Grifth was able to get the MOMs of
Manchester/LCM Racing/
Tyngsboro Toyota Camry up in
the top 15 pretty quickly and was
holding his own in the 14th spot.
He was then in an altercation that
caused a caution ag to wave.
Upon the restart, Grifth was
working way through trafc and
got as high as eleventh position
before a miscommunication from
track ofcials to Derek; while
under yellow caused the young
driver to go in to the pit area.
Upon re-entry into the track,
Grifth was not given his spot
back and started on the tail end
of the eld for the restart. Derek
was once again able to pick off
competitors at a good clip and was up to the
16th sport as he fought with Joey Doiron for
the 15th spot. The checkered ag waved and
Derek came away from his debut with a solid
16th place.
We took a big leap in our racing program
[by competing in this PASS race] Grifth said,
our plan is to run a few more of these races and
also attempt to qualify for the Oxford 250 in July.
The No. 12 MOMs of Manchester/LCM Racing/
Tyngsboro Motors Toyota Camry can be seen in
action on May 24 as he competes at Monadnock
Speedway in the Granite State Pro Stock Series.
If you cannot make the event in person,
there will be updates on Dereks Twitter @

Red Sox Recognize Hudson Youth Baseball for Equipment Donations
submitted by Scott Power, Hudson Youth Baseball
For the past few years, Jordans Furniture has partnered with
the Red Sox Foundation to offer the Double Play Youth Baseball
Donation Program.
The partnership, in conjunction with the Red Sox Foundations
Reviving Baseball for Inner City Program, supplies lightly used
baseball and softball equipment to more than 2,000 inner city youth
in the Boston area.
In this day and age of pay-to-play, there are thousands of kids that
just cannot afford to play sports, said Eliot Tatelman, President and
CEO of Jordans Furniture.
Hudson Youth Baseball participates annually in this endeavor by
donating equipment from the league and its families. Every March,
Hudson Youth Baseball delivers bats, helmets, catchers equipment,
cleats, and gloves to Jordans Furniture in Nashua.
This year, Hudson Youth Baseball was honored at Fenway Park as
the league who donated the largest number of usable items. The
Red Sox Foundation presented a personalized Red Sox jersey during
the pre-game ceremony that included Jordans Furniture and team
members from one of the recipient Boston leagues.
Hudson Youth Baseball President Scott Power is proud to support
leagues in need of assistance. Everyone has equipment at home
that their sons and daughters have grown out of. If we collaborate
as a community, we can make an even larger impact next year, he
said.

Thumbs down to the jerk that tossed out their recliner into the
brook on Webster Street (between Kenyon and Tolles). Must have
been real funny tossing it into the stream. Although no one else
nds the humor in it. Why not just leave it on the side of road?
Speaks volumes of your character. You must be a real loser to think
its anyone else is responsible to dispose of your unwanted trash.
Thumbs down. If driving an automobile is a privilege, not a
right. Common sense tells me so are their license plates. Vanity
plates are a privilege not a right. If you label it under the law of
common sense there are still people who want to live with some sort
of sanity in this world. I dont believe the registry should be bullied
by free speech. Besides, vanity license plates that offend people risk
auto bashing. The insurance premiums go up and the Registry still
wins with you and the price you pay for stupidity in the rst place.
Thumbs up to saving money! Every pound of aluminum or
plastic bottles you put into your blue recycling bin saves Hudson
$$$s! You want to keep town taxes down? Recycle!
Thumbs down to the Republican Party and especially Scott
Brown for sabotaging the Shaheen-Portman energy bill. This bill
would have gained this country 200,000 jobs and saved tons of
money to us voters. Why did
they do it? To kill Shaheens
bill so she couldnt use it in
her campaign against Brown.
Senator Ayotte to her credit voted
for the bill. Shame on the GOP
and Brown.
Thumbs down to Monster
Mom who constantly screams
daily, all day long at her
children. They are just small
children who need teaching
and guidance, not screaming
at all the time. There is a noise
ordinance in Hudson and your
voice carries throughout the
entire neighborhood and you
are disturbing the peace and
quiet of others. You are also
making a spectacle of yourself
with your loud voice because we
all look and
want you to
shut up. We
can call the
authorities for
a few reasons
and two of them are your child abuse and youre
disturbing the peace. We listened to you last
year; we do not want to hear you again this year.
You know, you can get better results with honey
than with vinegar.
Thumbs down to the person who still doesnt
get it about ACA. If your insurance company
canceled your policy and then offered it back
at twice the price, that has nothing, nada, zip
to do with ACA. Oh and by the way, insurance
companies have been playing games like this
for years, including canceling your policy if
you dared to use it or denying coverage for
preexisting conditions. All issues that ACA deals
with. Why oh why would we ever want to go
back to that?
Thumbs down to the person regarding
speeding and speed limits. As you dont have
to pay my speeding ticket or higher insurance
fees, you can whine about being stuck behind
someone driving the actual speed limit, sorry my
life doesnt revolve around you. I have taken
great pains to make sure I leave my house with
extra time for things I need to be at, try plan
ahead a little. Also, what street do you live one
so I can come speed by your house.
Thumbs down to the commercial truck with
the large commercial trailer on it that is always
parked on the street. Its a neighborhood with
kids, bikes and people walking and does not
have sidewalks. Its impossible to go down the
street with this vehicle blocking half the road.
Its been there for a couple of weeks and is
dangerous if anyone is in the road.
Thumbs down to our town/school employees
lobbying for their pay raises, pay step and pay
move raises last election. Can you imagine if
I spent countless hours telling my co workers I
deserved a raise and that they needed to speak to
my boss so I could receive a raise, how I would
look? Every comment I read in this paper about
saying resident should leave if they dont vote
for their pay raises sickens me. There are people
who are in danger of losing their home over your
raise and people on xed incomes who are trying
to make ends meet, and you want a raise, even
asked for 2 raises a year?
Thumbs up to the Litcheld parents who are
holding Campbell to task for the brain trauma
their son suffered while playing football for his 4
years of High School. The boy cant focus, he is
obese, depressed, and is prone to ts of violence.
These are lifelong injuries he suffered on Campbells behalf. Its time
for all organizations to pay for the damage they allowed to happen
to these boys!
Thumbs down in Hudson. Four things once given up dont come
to you with good results. 1. A stone tossed into the ocean. 2. Your
honor once trashed. 3. A bad pic poster on the internet. 4. Unkind
words that were spoken. Be responsible for what you do as it all has
consequences!
Thumbs up to the Band Figure 8 for their Free Concert on Friday
May 30th at HMS - doors open at 6:30 p.m.

The White House launched another effort to satisfy the
environmentalist pressures to deal with their perceived assault by
man on the environment with the release of its National Climate
Assessment report which many scientists and other observers have
justiably criticized as a litany of doom and gloom, unsupported by
real climate facts.
Paul Dreissen from CFACT (Committee for a Constructive
Tomorrow) and formerly CORE (Congress of Racial Equality) offered
his take on the NCA and encouraged me to share it with you: http://
icecap.us/images/uploads/Driessen_-_Manmade_climate_disruption_
hype_and_reality.pdf.
The White House has released its latest National Climate
Assessment. An 829-page report and 127-page summary
were quickly followed by press releases, television appearances,
interviews and photo ops with tornado victims - all to underscore
President Obamas central claims:
Human-induced climate change, once considered an issue for
the distant future, has moved rmly into the present. It is affecting
Americans right now, disrupting their lives. The effects are already
being felt in every corner of the United States. Corn producers
in Iowa, oyster growers in Washington, maple syrup producers in
Vermont, crop-growth cycles in Great Plains states are all observing
climate-related changes that are outside of recent experience.
Extreme weather events have become more frequent and/or intense.
Fear-inducing climate disruption claims are needed to justify
job-killing, economy-choking policies like the endless delays on the
Keystone XL pipeline; still more wind, solar and ethanol mandates,
tax breaks and subsidies; and regulatory compliance costs that have
reached $1.9 trillion per year, nearly one-eighth of the entire U.S.
economy.
Scary hyperventilating serves to obscure important realities
about Earths weather and climate, and even in the NCA report
itself. Although atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have been rising
steadily for decades, contrary to White House claims, average
planetary temperatures have not budged for 17 years.
No Category 3-5 hurricane has made landfall in the United States
since 2005, the longest such period since at least 1900. Even with
the recent Midwestern twisters, U.S. tornado frequency remains very
low (a record annual low in 2013) and property damage and loss of
life from tornadoes have decreased over the past six decades.
Sea levels are rising at less than seven inches per century and
diminishing. Antarctic sea ice recently reached a new record high.
Warming and cooling periods have alternated for centuries in the
Arctic. Great Lakes ice reached 92 percent coverage in March, a
new record. Even in early May this year, some 30 percent of Lake
Superior was still ice-covered, which is unprecedented in historical
records. Topping it off, the two decades of warming from 1979 to
1998 and rising CO2 levels have been shown by NASA and many
studies to have improved forest, grassland and crop growth, greening
the planet.
The NCA report utilized computer models which are based on the
false assumption that carbon dioxide now drives climate change,
and that powerful natural forces no longer play a role. The models
have never been able to predict global temperatures accurately, and
the divergence between model predictions and actual measured
temperatures gets worse with every passing year. The models cannot
even hindcast temperatures over the past quarter century.
Sticking to the manmade climate disaster script is essential to
protect the turf, reputations, funding and power of climate alarmists
and government bureaucrats. The federal government doles out
some $2.6 billion annually in grants for climate research but only for
work that reects White House perspectives. Billions more support
subsidies and loans for renewable energy programs that represent
major revenue streams for companies large and small, and part of
that money ends up in campaign war chests for (mostly Democrat)
legislators who support the climate regulatory-industrial complex.
Oil, which is demonized, is, of course, used as fuel for cars,
boats, jets, trucks and home and business heating. But it is also is
an essential component of plastics, synthetic rubber, synthetic bers
like polyester, nylon and acrylic, fertilizers and pesticides, paint,
photographic lm, additives to extend the shelf life for processed
foods, make up, medicines like aspirin and wax for candles we will
need when the electric grid fails because of unreliable green energy
policies.
The three major fossil fuels - petroleum, natural gas, and coal,
which together provided 87 percent of total U.S. primary energy
over the past decade - have dominated the U.S. fuel mix for well
over 100 years. Solar
options have been around
since the 80s (1880s);
wind the 90s (1890s). I
can assure you if they
were cost effective and
reliable they would
provide much more than
the single digits of our
electricity needs they do
today. Over 70 of the
green solar companies
that received stimulus
dollars went bankrupt
since 2009. And wind
farms have proven in
Europe to be unreliable
with no energy when you
need it the most the
coldest nights and hottest

days. They require back-up fossil fuel plants running in inefcient
back-up readiness mode to keep your power steady. This is why
UK Prime Minister Cameron wants to dismantle the wind farms on
land and is building fossil fuel plants again.
Despite all the hyperbole the EIA projects even by 2040,
renewables (wind, solar, geothermal, biomass, waste) will account
for only 11 percent of our electricity production up from only 6
percent today.
However this agenda translates into greater government control
over energy production and use and peoples lives, livelihoods,
living standards, liberties, health and welfare. It means fewer
opportunities and lower standards of living for poor and middle
class working Americans.
Americas middle class and blue collar families will suffer -
while Washington, D.C., power brokers and lobbyists will continue
to enjoy standards of living, housing booms and
luxury cars unknown in the nations heartland.
Paul Dreissens concerns are shared by many
scientists and clear thinking people, regardless
of political afliation, although we are
marginalized or demonized by the media and
the organizations, companies and universities
that are raking in the money at our expense
with little regard to the dangers we face from
their reckless energy plans.
I was part of a team or 15 scientists that
responded to the National Climate Assessment:
http://www.scribd.com/doc/224538945/NCA-
Rebuttal. See the response of these scientists
to the equally awed UNH Union of Concerned Sciences
report: http://hudsonrepublicancommittee.org/wp-content/

Coleman, an Army veteran specially trained on these rearms, grew up in
Merrimack. When asked why he collected site, the reasons were many. He
and his wife, Ashley, live within walking distance to the shop; Ice needed
more space but not a signicant amount; and the nostalgic factor contributed,
as it was the rst location in 1964 of Continental Beauty Salon, which was
founded by Ashleys grandmother, Ronda Charbonneau.
Once totally set up and open, Coleman invites anyone with questions to
stop in and ask him.

After their thrilling come-from-behind win over
Bishop Guertin on May 6, the Alvirne Softball
team has gone into a tail spin, losing three straight
and ve of its last six. Through the May 20 loss at
Concord, the Broncos record has dropped to 5-9,
putting them in 12th place in the D-I standings.
The good news is that they are, at least at this
point, rmly entrenched at that position.
Adding to the good news is that virtually
any team able to put nine players between the
lines will qualify for post season play, as 16 of
the 18 teams will proceed beyond the regular
season. And with Manchester Memorial (1-12)
and Nashua South (1-12) battling it out for cellar-
dwellar-supremacy, it seems assured that AHS will
indeed make the playoffs.
The only uncertainty remaining perhaps is
where they will go for their rst round matchup.
And although the hope for a top-eight nish,
which would give them at least one playoff
home game, is becoming faint, the young
Broncos continue to learn and compete hard in
anticipation for the season that really matters.
The recent three-game slide began on May
14 when they dropped a 12-2 mercy-shortened
decision to Bedford. The Bulldogs came to
Hudson with a dismal 2-8 record; however one
of those wins came against Alvirne just ve days
earlier. In a game that could have been won and
certainly could have been more competitive, the
youthful Broncos got behind early when Bedford
put up seven runs in the top of the rst.
Alvirne made a small dent in the third, scoring
twice on a double from Evelyn Susko that scored
Nichole Teague and Sarah Siteman (2-for-3), who
had each singled. But, after Bedford added three
runs in the fourth and two more in the sixth, the
game ended as a result of the ten-run rule. Kellie
Kennedy got the start in the circle for Coach Sarah
Brisks Broncos, going all six innings, allowing
12 runs (half of them unearned) on 14 hits while
striking out
three and
walking
three.
Five
days later,
the Broncos tried to regroup, but another
big inning did them in as a six-run second
inning catapulted Salem to a 9-5 win.
Nichole Teague received the nod this time
and went six innings, giving up nine runs
(seven earned) on eight hits, fanning four but
walking six. The Alvirne bats were quiet,
collecting just three hits on the day, but in fact
were quite efcient. That was due in large
part to Kaycee Carbones two-run homer in
the sixth when the Broncos showed possible
signs of a comeback by scoring four times.
Picking up the other two hits were Siteman
and Christina Guessferd who each went one
for three. Evelyn Susko recorded the only
other RBI with the proverbial, productive
groundball out, also in the sixth.
On May 20, the Bronco bus traveled to
Concord where they came up on the light side
of a 9-4 score. After taking a 1-0 lead in the top
of the rst, Alvirne surrendered three runs to the
Crimson in the home half. Two more in the third,
one in the fourth and another three in the fth
by Concord put the game out of reach, despite
another late-inning bid by the Broncos who
pushed a pair of base runners across in the sixth.
Improvement was shown in the batters box
as ve different players registered hits. Having
a multiple-hit game were Siteman (2-4, run,
RBI), Guessferd (2-4, run, RBI) and Carbone who
also went two for four with a run scored. Kellie
Kennedy went 1-for-2 including a run-producing
double, while Jamie Dangelo went 1-2 with a
run scored. Haleigh Cote recorded an RBI on a
ground out. In the circle, Nichole Teague went
4.2 innings, giving up seven runs (two earned)
on ve hits, with 1K and ve free passes. Kellie
Kennedy pitched the nal one and a third,
allowing two runs on four hits, striking out one
and walking one.

Both the Alvirne boys and girls Track and Field
teams made the short trek over to Merrimack
High on Thursday, May 15 for the 14th Annual
Merrimack Track and Field Invitational. The Lady
Broncos (26 points) had the better day; placing
eighth in the 14-school eld while the boys squad,
despite seven individual top-10 performances,
nished last (seven points) in the 15-team
competition. Winning the girls team title was Coe-
Brown with 137 points while Pinkerton captured
the boys team crown, scoring 103 points.
The girls team boasted eight top-10 nishers
with four of them contributing to the team point
total. Taking honors on the day was Brittney
Lambert who captured rst place in the high jump
after clearing the bar successfully at 5 feet, 2
inches. Finishing off the 1-2 punch in that event
was Emily Barry, whose leap of 4 feet, 10 inches
was good enough to take second place.
Also contributing four points each to the team
total were Erin Rosier and Marie Morrier. The pair
of Lady Broncos performed nicely in the hurdles
event with Rosier (17.14) taking fourth in the 100
meter, and Morrier matching that fourth-place
nish in the 300m intermediate hurdles with a
time of 50.37. Adding to the Lady Broncos top-10
nishes were Tori LaRoche, placing ninth in the
triple jump, and freshman Shaylyn Saunders who
ran her way to a ninth-place nish in the 800-meter
run in a time of 2:28.66. Tens were wild for
sophomore Tana Tufts who posted a pair of tenth
place nishes; one in the 100-meter dash (13.51)
and the other in the 200-meter dash, 28.23.
Other notable showings for Alvirne came from
Kellye Houdagba (1:05.96) with an 11th-place
nish in the 400-meter run and Tori LaRoche again,
this time with an 11th-place showing in the triple
jump, recording a distance of 30 feet, 3.5 inches.
On the boys side of the ledger, only two
athletes contributed points to the team total;
showcased by Phil Demers third-place showing
in the 1600-meter run. Demers, a stalwart in this
event, nished the race in 4:35.22, less than three
seconds off the pace set by winner Tyler Doveno of
Nashua South. In the eld events, Ethan Rainville
scored for Alvirne resultant of his throw of 124
feet, 1 inches which earned him sixth place in the
discus.
Five others posted top-ten nishes for the boys
team. A pair of runners performed well in the
3200-meter run, placing within eight seconds of
one another. Sophomore Kendall Westhoff led the
way, going the distance in 10:03.71 for an eighth-
place nish, while fab frosh Noah Bellomo nished
a few strides behind with a time of 10:11.38, good
for tenth place. The Broncos other eighth-place
nish went to Noah Cote who completed the 300m
hurdles in 44.36 seconds. Also in a track event, RJ
Younghusband ran another strong race, nishing
ninth in the 400-meter dash with a time of 53:07.
Over in the eld events, Cody Coulombe nished
tenth in the shot put with a distance of 40 feet, 9
inches.
Other notable nishers for Alvirne included Kyle
Salucco in the long jump with a leap of 19 feet,
4.25 inches to nish 11th and Kyle Saunders who
ran the 800 meter and nished 12th with a time of
2:05.83.

JV Girls Lacrosse Team
Earns First Win
of the Season
by Phillip Nichols
On May 15, the Alvirne Broncos traveled to meet the Campbell Girls
JV Lacrosse team. The Cougars came into the game without a win.
Campbell has the heart of Cougars and been continuing to improve.
Showing their pride, the Lady Cougars successfully defended their
territory and posted their rst victory of the season, by a score of 10 to
5.
Coach Bob Gannon praised Stephanie Whalen, who led all scorers
with 4 goals. Yasia Boysen, Val Boucher, Sam Molinari, Sophie Scadi,
Jamie Jutras and Cassie Tyler also scored against the Broncos.
Coach Gannon said, The entire team played well. Joe Molinari,
the father of Sam Molinari, who scored a goal of her own and had
several assists, said he feels the team is playing great.
Joe said he is pleased with the progress his daughter and the team is
making under the tutelage of Coach Gannon.
The Lady Cougar Lacrosse team continues to improve and is coming
to fully understand their responsibilities both on offense and defense.
Way to go Cougars Never give up.

The Danger
of Smoking
While Driving
Using a cell phone, texting and drinking alcoholic beverages are
all activities that can lead to nes or arrest if done while in a mov-
ing vehicle. But in some areas, it is already illegal or may soon be,
to smoke in a vehicle if in the presence of children.
Since 2006, several communities across North America have
implemented laws to prevent smoking in cars when children are
present, and campaigns for smoke-free car laws are poised to
continue.
The public has become increasingly aware that there is no safe
level of exposure to secondhand smoke. Secondhand smoke,
also known as environmental tobacco smoke,
includes the smoke that a smoker exhales and the
smoke that comes from burning tobacco prod-
ucts. Thousands of toxic chemicals are present
in secondhand smoke, including formaldehyde,
lead, butane, cyanide, and carbon monoxide.
These dangerous chemicals can be inhaled and
tend to linger in the air for hours or longer. Smoke
residue also clings to a smokers body and hair
and can even surface inside of a home or vehicle,
according to The Mayo Clinic.
Asthma, heart disease and cancer may result
from contact with secondhand smoke. When
someone smokes within the small enclosed space
of a car, passengers are exposed to air that is
many times more toxic than what the EPA consid-
ers hazardous air quality, even if a window is
down. Whats more, the particulates of tobacco
smoke that are absorbed in the upholstery off-
gas back into the air even after many days have
passed, exposing riders to toxins well beyond
when someone smoked in the car.
The developing bodies of children and their
small stature put youngsters at risk for greater
complications from cigarette smoke, although any
passenger is at risk.
Laws vary depending on location and typically
apply to children ages 16 and under. Smokers
are urged to quit smoking for their health and
the health of others. But those who continue to
smoke should refrain from smoking when inside a
vehicle, especially when children are present.

Bronco Baseball Shutting Down Opponents
by Marc Ayotte
In methodic fashion, the Alvirne Baseball team has climbed the
Division II standings, and after a 6-1 win at home over Salem on
May 19, the Broncos (8-4) have stomped their way into a tie for
fourth place with Bishop Guertin. After the Blue Devil dumping,
the maroon and gold had lost just one game in its last nine. In those
eight wins, pitching was the key, allowing a combined, miniscule
10 opposing base runners to cross home plate. Since the loss to
Londonderry on May 7, the Broncos have rattled-off three straight,
outscoring opponents by an 11-4 margin; including a 1-0 Tyler
Brown blanking of the Bulldogs in Bedford.
On May 14, Bedford became bagel city as zeros decorated the
scoreboard, with the sole crooked number coming in Alvirnes half of
the third inning. Dan Brown led off with a line drive double to right
eld and then moved to third after a bunt single by Matt McKinley.
With runners on the corners, Tyler Brown then helped his own cause,
driving in the only run needed with a sacrice y to center and
scoring his brother.
T. Browns masterpiece epitomized the performances Alvirne
has been receiving on the hill. In silencing the Bedford bats with a
brilliant one-hitter, Brown went seven complete, fanning eight while
allowing three walks. At the plate, Dan Brown and McKinley each
picked up a pair of hits to lead the way. Jacen Hudson picked up the
fth team hit with a single to left in the second inning.
The Broncos improved to 8-4 on the season when Derek Hudson
assumed the shutdown role; ring a ve-hitter in the win over Salem
(7-7). In going the full seven, he allowed one unearned run, striking
out nine Devils and walking four. Hudson helped himself out at the
plate, going 1-1; a line drive to right that one-hopped the collapsible
fence for a ground rule double, along with three walks. One of those
free passes came with the bases loaded for a 1-0 lead in the third
inning. Alvirne then made it 2-0 after Robbie Flohrs sac y to right
plated Tyler Brown.
Salem cut the Bronco lead in half when they scored their only run
of the game in the top of the fourth. However, Alvirne responded
with four runs in the home half to put the game out of reach. With
one out, Greg Emanuelson singled to left and subsequently stole
second. Anthony Cestrone followed with another single to left,
putting runners at rst and third. Dan Brown then hit a sac y to
center scoring Emanuelson for a 3-1 lead. Matt McKinley then
continued the punishment being bestowed upon the Salem pitcher
with a single to center, scoring Cestrone for a 4-1 cushion. The
Broncos closed out the inning when pinch runner Josh Nardelli stole
second, drawing the throw and allowing T. Brown to ease in from 90
feet away for the 6-1 nal.
Bronco Boys Tennis Recognizes Seniors
by Marc Ayotte
Thursday, May 15 was the rst Senior Day event of the spring season for Alvirne as the
boys tennis team hosted Winnacunnet. On a beautiful, sunny afternoon, the visiting
Warriors were anything but gracious as they acted as a dark cloud oating in from the
coast and spoiled the seniors event with a 9-0 whitewashing of the Broncos.
However, the silver lining in the cloud was that all six seniors saw action; in either
singles or doubles competition. Seniors Matt OBrien and Raul Stedile, who hold down
the number 1 and number 2 seeds, respectively, stumbled from their recent ne play.
OBrien fell to Ross Kenney by an 8-2 score while Stedile was handed an 8-1 loss by
Dylan Taylor. The two Broncos also paired up in doubles action but came up on the light
side of an 8-5 score. Number six seed, Henry Williams hung closer than most, but still
dropped his match, 8-5, to Nick Minichello.
In doubles matches, Scott
Rancourt teamed up with
Williams in the number 2 slot,
but lost a bid to put the rst
win on the board for Alvirne;
dropping an 8-3 decision to Eric
Dunn/Bryan Schwechheimer.
Rounding out the seniors action
on the day was the last doubles
match featuring Kevin Breen and
Gurbir Kalsi. The newly formed
doubles partners traveled down
the same unfortunate path as they
were blanked by Garrett Bingon/
Minichello, eight games to no
love at all.
Other matches included third-
seeded Jared Whalen in an 8-5
loss to Bingon, Colin Calnans 8-2
defeat to Dunn in the number-
four slot, and Sam Bonney-
Liles competitive 8-6 defeat at
the hands of Schwechheimer.
Things did get brighter, however,
as the most exciting point
of the afternoon came when
Coach Michael Coulter rallied
the players after the match
and proceeded to serve-up a
pizza buffet for the entire team;
compliments of his Hudson-
owned business, Mikes Pie.
Five days later, the Broncos
got back into the win column;
improving to 6-7 on the season
with a 5-4 win at Manchester
Memorial. Recording wins
for the Broncos in singles
competition were: number 1 Matt OBrien vs. Kristopher Marineau 8-0; number 2
Raul Stedile vs. Andrew Tran 8-3; number 5 Sam Bonney-Liles vs. Faizon Khalio 8-5;
and number 6 Henry Williams vs. Derrick Morais 8-3. Leading four matches to two
after the singles matches, OBrien/Stedile assured a Bronco win; doubling-up the
Crusaders top doubles tandem, Marineau/Tran by an 8-4 score.
Rounding out the singles action for Alvirne were Jared Whalen who lost his
number 3 seed match to Duy Dinh, 8-0, and number 4 Colin Calnan who also
suffered the same 8-0 defeat to Thomas Tran. The other two doubles matches were
played by number 2 Bonney-Liles/Williams who lost to Tran/Khalio by a score of
8-4, and Andrew Wetmore/Brett Richardson, who came up on the low end of an 8-3
score against Dinh/Morais in the number three slot.
