Anyone 55 years and older wishing to stay active and help
improve their community through volunteering at a local non-profit
organization can do so by joining the Retired and Senior Volunteer
Program, a component of Senior Corps, according to Jennifer Sanders,
Volunteer Services Director at Southern New Hampshire Services.

Bryan Lane is looking for a new job. Readers began calling


last week to alert the HLN that Lane may be leaving his role as
Hudson schools superintendent. It was reported on Feb. 15 in the
Monadnock Ledger-Transcript that he is one of two finalists being
considered for superintendent of the Wilton/Lyndeborough School
District.
Lynn Carey, interim assistant superintendent for the Monadnock
Regional School District, is the other finalist for the Wilton/
Lyndeborough position. Both candidates spent Feb. 10 touring the
schools there. Lane and Carey were chosen from an initial pool of
10 applicants, from which a school search committee interviewed
six. The Wilton/Lyndeborough District has about 570 students
enrolled, while Hudson has 3,700.

Prior to becoming superintendent in Hudson, Lane spent 14


years as the principal at Alvirne High School. He and his family
live in Derry.
According to the Monadnock newspaper, the current Wilton
superintendent, Christine Tyrie, will not return after the end of her
three-year contract in June because the school board did not grant
her request to go part time. According to the New Hampshire
Department of Education website, Lanes salary as Hudson
superintendent for 2015-2016 was $123,730, while Tyrie earned
$111,000 this school year.
At HLN press time on Wednesday, Feb. 24, the Wilton/
Lyndeborough School Board had not made a public announcement
regarding their selection. The new superintendent will assume
duties on July 1.

Remember Hudson When ...


Area Surrounding Library and Webster School c. 1910
submitted by Ruth Parker
From this early postcard of Webster School, Hills Memorial Library and the surrounding area we get
an idea of what this section of town looked like about 1910.
Kimball Webster School (right) had been in use since its completion in 1896. The new Hills
Memorial Library (left) was completed in 1908. The photo for this postcard was taken from an open
field across the street from Webster School at the corner of School and Library streets. In fact, what
is now Library Street was barely a dirt road in this picture. One can locate the road by following the
utility pole. An 1892 map of Hudson shows an ice house where the Hills Library is located, and what
is now Library Street was called Sanders Street.
Looking beyond these buildings and along Ferry Street we see very little construction. On Ferry
Street and opposite the library is the home at what is now 42 Ferry St., known by many as the
Cunningham home and now owned by Kurt Smith. On the knoll behind the library and the school we
see another early home; most likely the home at what is now 55 Ferry St.
Today this open field is the site of the Leonard Smith Fire Station and the Town Office Building;
built in the 1950s and 1960s, respectively. Before these buildings this field was a popular playground
used during preschool, recess, and afterschool activities for Webster School. During the spring and
summer months, this field was used by the Recreation Department for a ball field, basketball court,
and playground for the younger kids.
As a point of memory, Hudson resident Dan OBrien has fond memories of Little League games
played here, as early as 1950 or 51, under the direction of Manager Brown. These may have been
some of the earliest Little League games in Hudson. The year construction was underway for the new
fire station Dan recalls breaking a window in the station while throwing rocks. Yes! He was busted
by Chief Andy Polak. In Andys way, all he did was report Dan to his parents. But, that was enough.

Litchfield Takes Action Against Drug Abuse


by Kaylee Murphy
Kelly Fraser is passionate about putting an end to drug abuse in
Litchfield.
Our children are the future of our community and a small part
of the future of our country. We want to give them every advantage
so that they can reach their full potential, said Fraser who works at
Campbell High School. He believes, in small town America you
should be able to raise your children without the threat of drugs.
Campbell Principal Laurie Rothhaus decided to take action and
so formed a new committee called the Litchfield Strategic Substance
Misuse Prevention Planning Committee, which includes Fraser.

Courtesy photo

What were trying to do is to choke off the demand for illegal


drugs in Litchfield, explained Fraser.
Their main focus is on high school/middle school students and
their parents. The committee hopes to educate them on avoiding,
recognizing, and combating drug abuse. Encouraging a positive
alternative such as athletics, music, or other co-curricular clubs, is
one of their strategies.
Drug-related deaths are increasing at an alarming rate. In 2000,
26 drug-related deaths occurred in New Hampshire; in 2007, that
number sky rocketed to 123 deaths; and, in 2014, heroin deaths
alone totaled 325. According to Jason Schreiber from NH Sunday

Do You have a Piece of


Hudson History?
by Len Lathrop
Is there an antique that is part of your household, a part of Hudson history, and would
you like to share it with the community? The Hudson Historical Society is looking to
catalog Hudson artifacts as part of its 50th anniversary. Rest assured that you are not being
asked to donate your treasure to the society, or even loan it, but just to have it recorded
and become part of the town history.
Maybe it was a desk from Alvirne High School saved from the fire, or something from
one of the original buildings before the town grew, and town halls and fire stations
moved. Maybe the item is from the Webster School or the home of Dr. H. O. or Dr. D. O.
Smith.
Everyone must know that Hudson has a history that dates back to the American Indians,
and that is where the name of the school in the north end came from, Hills Garrison.
Check out the town logo and see the fort. It would be helpful to catalog Native American
artifacts that might be in private collections by soliciting photos and information about
when and where they were found. By maintaining these in the society database, they
could be tied it to a map of Hudson.
In addition, the society is looking for old photographs of places and buildings in
town. Again, no obligations to donate but to provide a copy. Another idea was to ask
homeowners in town to participate in a house registry. The historical society would
maintain a set of information about houses in town over a certain age ... like 1940 or
earlier.
Please stay tuned for more details.
Hope this helps! If you need more information, contact HudsonHistorical@live.com or
880-2020.

Not Voting for Senator Ayotte


Once again Kelly Ayotte panders to the right and big money,
disingenuously exclaiming in her WMUR ad that the voters should
decide on the next Supreme Court nominee. It seems that Senator Ayotte
wants to obstruct President Obama and to deny him his presidential
and constitutional responsibility to bring forth a nomination in a timely
fashion. She well knows that the President has the right and responsibility
to nominate the next Justice and that the US Senate approves, or does not,
the Presidents nomination. Only the uninformed voter would believe that
NH citizens decide. And interestingly, how can we decide when the
Republican Senators have already proclaimed that they will not approve any
nominee President Obama brings forward?
Further, her ad and her actions in Congress belie her claim that she can
and will work with other members of Congress in a bipartisan fashion.
Yes, disingenuous describes Senator Ayottes actions and pronouncements
perfectly.
As my husband has exclaimed, perhaps the only way for Congress to get
things done is to vote in all new members, to start over. I agree and will not
be voting for Senator Ayotte.

It has been my honor to serve for the last six years and I would like
to continue the work of supporting our community. Since moving into
Litchfield, I have volunteered and served on different committees and
boards; as I believe in volunteerism and giving back to the community.
Over the years, we have been working hard to address the growing fiscal
concerns and the need to provide basic services that our community relies
on. It has not been easy, and it will be continue to be a dicult task and
there is still much to be done.
While on the board; we have addressed the many issues around our
infrastructure of roads and equipment; and with the support our employees
and many volunteers, we have seen huge improvements all around town.
If re-elected, I will work as a representative of the citizens; and continue
the work of providing the needed services to our community.

Coutu Seeks Re-election to Hudson BOS


My name is Roger E. Coutu and I am seeking reelection to the Hudson
Board of Selectmen. It has been a distinct honor and a pleasure to have
served you, the citizens of Hudson, for the past eight years.
My wife Doris and I moved to Hudson in 1999 and reside at 10 Rita Ave.
We will celebrate 53 years of marriage this coming June. We are the parents
of four children, nine grandchildren and one great-granddaughter. We
owned and operated Rogers Variety, located in Hudson, for nine years. I am
presently a Member Service Supervisor at Sams Club here in Hudson.
During my tenure as a Selectman, I have served as Chairman and
Vice Chair of the Board of Selectmen, liaison to the Police Department,
Zoning Board of Adjustment, Recreation Department, the former Water
Utility Committee (now Utilities Committee), Finance Department, Town
Assessing Department, Fire Department, Hudson Community Television,
Town Clerk and Tax Collector, Budget Committee, and the Senior Affairs
Committee. I also serve as an Advisor to the non-profit Fields Committee.
Experience and productivity matter in any election. Eight years ago I
made you one promise: to serve you with unending dedication, passion
and, above all else, integrity.
In the past eight years we have acquired Benson Park, built the 9/11
Memorial, installed an all access playground at Benson Park, built a beautiful
Senior Center and Community Television Studio building, improved our
street-repaving plan, built Jette Field, and reorganized the Zoning/Code
Enforcement/Health Division. These are but a few of the many tasks we
undertook and accomplished in the past I years.
There is much more we can do to maintain our community as a thriving
municipality and I present to you that I will continue to serve you in a
fashion that will show results as we have in the past.
I am beholden to the same pledge I made to you eight years ago and that
is to serve you with unending dedication, passion, and, above all else, integrity.
I am respectively requesting yow vote on Tuesday, March 8. Together we
will continue the progress for Hudson.
Roger E. Coutu, Hudson

Outlining School District Warrant


Articles 4, 5 and 6
Warrant Article 4 is a proposal to use $150,000 from the Capital Reserve
School Renovation fund for the purpose of replacing the roof on the CTE
Center at the high school. There is no cost to the tax payer to release these
funds. This fund was set up so that the voters are the only ones who can
approve the release of funds. The Capital Reserve School Renovation Fund
currently has $248,439 available for release.
The roof was installed in 1992 and is in need of replacement. There
are multiple damaged areas which result in leaking during heavy rains and
when snow is melting. This replacement will help to protect the large
investment we have made in the building itself as well as its technology and
infrastructure. Paying attention to the needs of our facilities is the best way
to avoid larger costs in the future.
Warrant Article 5 is a request to take funds that are not expended
in the current budget, up to $100,000, and place those funds into the
Capital Reserve School Renovation Fund. If Warrant Article 4 passes, the
renovation fund will have under $100,000 in it.
This fund was created in 2000 and has been used to fund a project to
install an ADA compliant elevator at Alvirne High School at a cost of about
$300,000. There were no taxes raised to complete this project. The district
has roofing projects that need to be addressed in the coming years; using this
fund would be a prudent way to make these repairs.
Warrant Article 6 is a request to take funds that are not expended
in the current budget, up to $100,000, and place those funds into
Special Education Reserve Trust Fund. A simple way to look at this is
as an insurance fund to offset unforeseen expenses to the school district.
As we prepare the budget, it is created 10 months in advance of its
implementation. Many times there are unforeseen expenses that occur in
those ten months for which the district cannot budget.
Under law, all students are guaranteed a free and appropriate education.
Some students may enroll in the district and have specific needs that require
services inside and/or outside the district that incur a cost that was not in the
prepared budget. This fund is there to deal with these costs if they arise. If
a student is medically fragile, they may require a nurse to be with them. If
a student has emotional or behavioral needs that effect their ability to be in
the classroom, out-of-district resources may be required to meet the students
needs. Transportation for these students is also an incurred cost. These costs
can run in excess of $125,000 per student.
There is currently $281,936 in this fund. The goal is to have a fund of
approximately $400,000 in reserve to ensure that any cost that could come
into play would be covered until the creation of a new budget. If there is no
need to tap this fund next year, there would be no requests in the coming
school year to add to the fund.
Both warrant articles 5 and 6 read that there is no tax impact. That is
true but there is a tax effect. If these
funds were returned to the voter, the
tax rate next year would be lowered
by $1 per month for each fund. The
question to ask is, would the $1 per
month returned to the tax payer be

It Takes More than a Teacher to Create a Student


I felt the need to respond to the person who is critical of the teachers
wanting raises. The commenter felt raises were undeserved because of the
standardized test scores and dropout rates in Hudson. This is too simplistic
a view of teaching, particularly these days. A childs success in school is like
a three-legged stool; it requires the dedication of the teacher, student, and
parents. Remove one of those legs and the ability for the stool to stand is
compromised. Even in the classrooms of the most dedicated, innovative,
and skillful teachers, some students wont experience the success they are
capable of because they arent invested in learning or there is little to no
support at home to help with homework or to convey the expectation that
school is important. My husband works in sales, and it is not solely his fault
every time he loses a deal. It requires two parties to be in agreement for
success. In education, it often requires three.
State test scores are not always a reliable indicator of how well a student
might be doing. The state has been changing the tests for the last two
years, leaving teachers trying to build the aircraft as they are flying it.
Last year, some parents responded to the online Smarter Balanced test by
having their children opt out. So in addition to a changing landscape, the
published results did not reflect the entire student population. Despite these
challenges, Hudson scored above the state average in some areas for certain
grade levels. Finally, teachers and administrators do reflect on the results of
these tests, analyzing which areas our students are succeeding in and which
areas require adjustments to the curriculum.
Our dropout rates are above the state average. To blame teachers for
those rates is not looking at the complete picture. Some students do not
have success in school for a variety of reasons, and when the opportunity
presents itself to quit, they take it. Years ago, the district put together a
task force that dedicated itself to finding solutions to the dropout problem.
For students who are not finding success in the classroom, programs and
opportunities are available from academic support during the school day to
offering classes at night. At some point, the commitment of the student to
engage in learning is necessary for the student to graduate. Blaming teachers
for the dropout rate is like blaming doctors for not getting better when you
didnt take the medicine offered.
Perhaps our scores arent as high as we would like or our dropout levels
as low, but another factor that cant be ignored is that we fund education at
23% below the state average. Throwing money at a problem is not always
the best solution, but Hudson residents need to recognize we fund education
at the same level as some of the most impoverished communities in the
state. We are not impoverished. Our median income is 25% above the
state average, but the amount spent on education in this town is 23% below
the state average. As a town, we have not been investing in education. If
you dont want to give the lowest paid teachers in the area a raise, it is your
prerogative, but please dont try to justify it with misdirection to problems
that are the result of several different factors. I hope many in the town will
support the teachers contract and all the other school warrant articles on
March 8 and start funding education at better levels.
Elizabeth Lavoie, Hudson

Please Vote Yes on Warrant Article 16


I am writing to ask for Hudson Voter support on Warrant Article 16 to
hire a part time entry-level technician in the Information Technology (IT)
Department. This person would work up to 29 hours per week under the
IT Director.
Stang hours dedicated to IT responsibilities have not changed since
November 1998. However, the level and complexity of the Towns
technology and its use has increased dramatically.
There is a misnomer that newer technology reduces workload in all
instances. It is true that by improving technology, IT personnel have
reduced operating costs, improved eciencies in all Town departments,
increased services for our citizens, and lowered energy consumption by at
least 50% in the data center and elsewhere; but improved technologies and
services have also increased responsibilities for IT staff.
Every employee and every service we offer the public touches technology
in one or many ways.
Employees and our customers require and rely on technology much
more than they did even just 5 years ago. We see this by the rapid use of
Smartphones, tablets, and their apps in the workplace. Weve added a Senior
Center and new services like on-line bill pay and paperless bills to give our
residents more options. These and many other changes have created a high
demand for backend IT services that arent always visible like a snow plow or
trash truck coming down our streets would be.
Furthermore, recent global events have demonstrated there is an increased
demand for better security and consistent monitoring to protect personal
and sensitive data. This, along with the explosion of devices now requiring
connection to our Town network, is beginning to exceed the Town IT
Departments ability to meet the demand for services within a reasonable
timeframe. IT projects continue to get pushed in a backlog of work and the
danger of this continuing is a reactive vs. proactive organization.
We have tried to offset our increase in workload by mentoring college
Interns. This has not been a good return on our investment due to the many
weeks it takes to train them in Hudsons environment. By the time the
students are working well without direct supervision, their school obligations
have been met and we lose them to employment elsewhere.
This warrant article would add one cent ($0.01) to the tax rate and I
kindly ask that you vote yes for Warrant Article 16, to hire a Part Time
Entry-level IT Tech. Thank you.

Litchfield Property Tax Increase


Its that time of year again, time to vote. Here are some interesting statistics: About 10 years ago, back
in 2005, the Litchfield school system had an enrollment of approximately 1,700 children and the budget
was around $16 million. Today, you are being asked to approve $21 million and the school system has
300 fewer students enrolled, for a total of about 1,400 children. Also, enrollment is projected to further
decline in future years. In 2005 the town of Litchfield had a population of approximately 8000 people
with a budget of $3.4 million. Today, with a population of approximately 8,300 people, an increase of
only 300 people, the town budget increased by $2 million, for a total request this year of $5.4 million.
So what does all of this mean? It means if those elected to serve you on the school board, the board of
Selectmen and the budget committee, were being completely honest, they would have to say that given
the additional annual spending, as well as the current and future revenue losses from State and Federal
sources, that $400 per year property tax increases will be the norm. And that doesnt include those multimillion dollar purchases like a new fire station as well as a new fire truck, and full day kindergarten that
will be proposed within the next year or so.
Im not here trying to persuade you how to vote when you enter that booth. My goal with this letter
is to simply inform voters with some factual statistics from the
past, including the large tax impact as a result of approving
this years proposed budget. Its your choice as to what size
you want your local government. Its your choice to decide
if everything in the town and school budget, as well as all the
warrants are necessary or not. Its your decision whether or not
your local government creates budgets and spends money the
same way you create your household or small business budget.
Its your decision whether to vote a $300-$400 annual increase
to your current property taxes. Some believe more government
spending and taxation every year is inevitable and really cannot
be stopped? Others believe government should adhere to some
of the same budgeting principles and guidelines the average
homeowner and small business owner has to adhere to. This is
your chance to decide the future and affordability of Litchfield.
Please cast an informed vote. Please give direction to those
you elect to local
government. Vote yes
for more spending and
higher property taxes
or vote no to send a
message of reasonable
fiscal restraint.

Captain Morin will Retire on March 1

Sudoku

On May 12, 2011, a


delegation from Hudson,
under the direction of
Captain David Morin,
traveled to the New
York-New Jersey Port
Authority terminal to
pick up a beam from
the World Trade Tower.
Capt. Morin is seen supervising the beam being
tied to the trailer at the
NY/NJ Port Authority
in preparation for transportation to Hudson for
the 9/11 Memorial.

Fire Captain David Morin

by Len Lathrop
Hudson Fire Chief Robert Buxton advised the board of selectmen that
Fire Captain David Morin has decided to retire. Captain Morin has been an
employee of the Town of Hudson for 33 years.
The chief stated, He has served his time well with the fire department. I have
enclosed the following synopsis of his career with us:
1983 - Hired as a call firefighter with the Hudson Fire Department
1984 - Hired as a full-time firefighter
1986 - Promoted to acting lieutenant
1997 - Promoted to lieutenant
2005 - Promoted to acting captain
2007 - Promoted to captain
Over the last three decades, Captain Morin has accomplished several goals
that made the Hudson Fire Department better, participating in the department
dive team and the Professional Firefighters of Hudson; serving as president of the
Hudson Firefighters Relief Association; and his biggest accomplishment being
the more than 20 years he participated in the Hudson Fire Department Explorer
program.
In addition, He was very active in the community by participating in the
Departments Centennial Celebration, the Town of Hudsons 250 Anniversary,
and construction of the Hudson Firefighters Memorial at Hammond Park, as well
as being instrumental in acquiring the beam for the 9/11 tower for the Town of
Hudson 9/11 Memorial at Benson Park.
In speaking to Morin this week, he explained that he will be helping this
brother at Nashua Sand and Gravel this summer and is planning some travel
with his wife, Sue, this fall. He is looking forward to continuing his involvement
with the Hudson Historical Society, as he loves history especially as it relates to
the town.
Daves dedication to public safety can be seen with his children. Corey is a
firefighter with the Nashua Fire Alarm Department and his daughter, Taylor, is a
dispatcher with the Hudson Police Department.

submitted by Dave Wilder


A couple weeks ago, youth from
Hudson attended the annual Knights
of Columbus Free Throw Challenge.
The competition was a contest to see
how many out of 20 free throws the
youth could sink. Boys and girls ages
10-14 participated in this competition.
It was a closely-fought competition in
multiple age groups and the margin
of victory was a single basket in some
cases.
Once again, the Knights of
Columbus partnered with the Hudson
Rec Department for this event and
appreciates all they do for the youth
of Hudson. Special thanks to Chrissy
Peterson of the Rec Department who
was instrumental in helping the Knights
make this event happen. Thank you as
well to the Rodgers Memorial Library
staff and the wonderful parents for
bringing their kids to the event and the
awards presentation.
The Knights of Columbus is a
Catholic fraternal organization
that runs several youth activities
in Hudson throughout the year,
including the Hudson Historical

The Tax Return-The Tax rate Schedule


W.F.Boutin EA - Total Tax Solutions LLC

Last week, we left off at the calculation of the taxable income on


the income tax return, and now we need to understand how the tax
is calculated from this number. With this knowledge, you will have
the foundation for explaining how deductions, credits and various
fringe benefits available to many taxpayers can affect your
individual situation.
There are several tax brackets existing in the tax code those being
the 10%, 15%, 25%, 28%, 33%, 35% and the new and improved
39.6% introduced once again in 2013 . Each percentage rate has a
bracket of income allocated to it, based upon a particular filing
status. This table is known as the Tax Rate Schedule.
For instance, the 2015 tax rate schedule shows that the 10% tax
bracket for a Single individual is from $0 to $9225, whereas the
10% tax bracket for a taxpayer who qualifies as a Head of Household is $0 to $13,150.
A single person, who has taxable income of $15,025, has a tax
liability of $1793 taken from the tax tables. The first $9225 is taxed
at 10%; the balance of $5800 is taxed at 15%. The $1793 tax
liability is 11.93% of the $15,025 taxable income. This 11.93% is
the mean of the two percentage brackets (10% and 15%) used to
calculate the tax.
Based upon this schedule, a single person starts to pay .15 cents
on the dollar at $9225, .25 @ $37,450, .28 @ $90,750, .33 @
$189,300, .35 @$411,500 and .39.6 @ 413,200. With this understanding, you can see that a taxpayer may have gross income in a
25% tax bracket, but if they have enough deductions, they can
lower their taxable income to a 15% tax bracket.
Deductions that lower the gross income come in many forms.
Adjustments allowed on the tax return to arrive at the AGI, lowers
this income resulting in a lower AGI and lower taxable income. The
standard /itemized deduction and exemptions lower the taxable
income but not the AGI. Various fringe benefits (Cafeteria or Section
125 Plans) offered by employers allow a taxpayer to pay for certain
benefits before taxes are withheld. This lowers their earned income
reported on line 7, which consequently lowers the AGI and the
taxable income for that taxpayer. How much it saves any taxpayer is
proportionate to where their taxable income would be without the
benefit.
(The single taxpayer in the example above saves .15 on every
dollar that they can lower their taxable income of $15,025, until
they lower it below $9225, when they then start to save only .10 on
the dollar.)
A few examples of fringe benefits offered by employers are health
insurance, life insurance, dependent care assistance, Health Savings
Accounts for taxpayers who have eligible, high deductible health
insurance policies, and medical savings accounts for out of pocket
medical expenses. Usually these types of benefits not only save on
federal and state taxes, but are not taxable income for Social
Security/ Medicare withholding purposes as well, saving an
additional 7.65% for the taxpayer. Money contributed to 401K or
IRA plans are pre-tax for federal and state tax purposes only and are
also a means of lowering taxable income and AGI.
Remember, a lower AGI on the income tax return is comparable to
the benefits of lower cholesterol levels to the heart in most cases.
Many tax deductions and credits allowed by the tax code phaseout for high income taxpayers. This phase-out range is calculated
starting with the AGI found on their tax return and varies for each
deduction or credit as we will discuss in the near future. Therefore
concentrating on lowering the AGI of high tax bracket taxpayers can
be of the utmost importance to save serious tax dollars.

Historic Weekend Cold in the Northeast


by Joseph DAleo, Certified Consulting Meteorologist
A brutally cold air mass rode the arctic express from north of
Alaska and northern Canada to the Northeast in just two days. It
arrived with temperatures surface and aloft that were more extreme
than we have seen in decades.
We were 10 to 20 below zero here in central New England late on
Saturday, Sunday morning and again Monday morning, and Sunday
barely reached the low teens. Wind chill reached the -30s and even
-40s at times Saturday evening and Sunday morning.
Boston set records on Saturday with -4F (edging out -3F in 1967),
and on Sunday with an amazing -9F, well below the old record of
-3F in 1934. It was tied for Bostons fourth coldest daytime low on
record since the official measurements began at Logan Airport in
1936. It also was the coldest temperature at Logan since January
1957, almost 60 years ago. The average temperature was more than
30F below the normal for the date.

Even New York City dropped to -1F Sunday, the coldest since
1994 with wind chills plunging below -30F. NYC cancelled their ice
festival Sunday because it was too cold. Ironically last month they
cancelled the Central Park Snow Festival because of too much snow.
For the 10 northeast states and D.C., January to March in 2014
was the 11th coldest on record since 1895 (with March ranked
coldest to second coldest here in northern New England) and last
year, January to March was the all-time coldest (tied with 1904).
February 2015 was the coldest month of any month in our part of
New England in history and also the snowiest (100 inches in 39
days).
This year thanks to El Nio, the cold has been extreme but so
far, episodic instead of more continuous and the record-breaking
January blizzard stayed just to our south.

It reached -30F at Saranac Lake and -37F at Watertown in New


York State and -40F on Mt. Washington with wind chills to -80F.
Dozens of people were trapped for several hours on stalled tram
cars on a snowy New Hampshire mountain Sunday, braving subzero
temperatures while the cars dangled in mid-air before being rescued.

One Suspect Charged


in Credit Card Scheme
submitted by Hudson Police Department
On Feb. 15, at around 1 p.m., Hudson Police
were called to Sams Club for a reported credit
card fraud in progress. This was a re-occurrence

of an
incident
a few
weeks ago
in which
three
individuals
were
arrested.
The
suspects
fled the
area and
one was
arrested
after
attempting
Yoel Peguero Bettancourt
to elude
the police.
The
second suspect did get away. The first suspect

was arrested was identified as Yoel Peguero


Bettancourt, 38, from Miami, Fla.
A large quantity of credit cards with stolen
information were found in the vehicle possessed
by Bettancourt. Bettancourt was charged with
disobeying an officer and held on $5,000 cash
or surety bail. A warrant is forthcoming for
Bettancourt with felony charges related to credit
card fraud.
Hudson Police are trying to identify the
second subject from this incident. Any
information as
to his identity
can be given
to Detective
Cummings
at 886-6011
or by calling
the crime line
at 594-1150.
Anyone with
information
can remain
anonymous.
Second suspect

With the very warm December, temperatures for the


meteorological winter of December to February will be above
normal here in the Northeast (though colder than normal to our
south). However, January to March could again end up colder than
normal here too, although it will not rank up there with the last two
years.
I found the 60 year ago record broken interesting. In climate, we
have a well-established 60-year cycle in weather, riding on many
longer-term cycles related to behavior of the sun and oceans. This
is much like the waves on the ocean riding on the longer swells. I
have written about these in books and peer-reviewed papers. A
change occurred 60 years ago, which I catalogued in my masters
thesis on east coast snowstorms. At that time cold and snow for a
few decades suddenly became biased to the latter part of winter.
That certainly has been the case the last three years.
At Weatherbell, we advised out clients most of the winter would
come January to March, with the potential for significant cold
outbreaks and more snowstorms.
Here, we will continue to ride the roller coaster into early next
week, but then stronger cold returns again with more snow threats.
In the last El Nio in 2009-2010 when the Mid-Atlantic received
all-time record snows in what was called Snowmageddon, we in
New England ended up near to below normal for snowfall. Though
that may in the end happen this year, we will have numerous
chances the next five to six weeks and one or more may track just
right to bury us. If so, dont blame me. I am just the messenger.
Blame Phil.

Cougar Wrestling Season was One for the Record Books


submitted by Bob Gannon,
Campbell Wrestling
In just seven short years, the Campbell
Cougar wrestling team has grown from a
new program to a consistent contender each
season. This season was one for the record
books for Campbell.
First winning the Dual Meet title by going
undefeated in division dual meets, then
following that up with an amazing comefrom-behind win that actually came down to
the last match of the day, earning the Cougars
their first team state championship at the
Division III state tournament. Adam Hayward
needed to win his last match (also the last
match of the day), and he did so with style,
pinning his opponent from Pelham in the first
period. With his win, Campbell
pulled ahead of Plymouth by two
points to take home the title.
Coach Gannon thanks all of the
fans, volunteers, and the Campbell
administration for their tremendous
support throughout the season. Ten
Campbell wrestlers have qualified
for the Meet of Champions this
Saturday at Nashua North High

The final score of 83 to 49 is not really indicative of how well the
Cougars played. Campbell has no big men to match up to Pelham
whose varsity roster sports seven players 6 feet 2 inches or taller.
That said, the Cougars were within 10 points of Pelham midway
through the third quarter until Pelham pulled away.
The game started out pretty evenly. Although Campbells offensive
possessions were held to a single shot, good ball movement and shot
selection saw Pelham leading by just a single point, 9 to 8, at the
four-minute mark of the opening stanza. The next five possessions
saw defensive stops by Pelham and offensive conversions, and, by
the six-minute mark, the Cougars trailed the Pythons, 20-8. For the

remainder of the first quarter and throughout the second period,


Campbell and Pelham each scored 19 points. Campbell trailed at
the half 41-27.
Campbells first-year Head Coach Sudi Lett talked about this
point in the game, I thought that considering the disadvantage in
size our guys played pretty good. A lot of it is positioning and just
fundamental basketball. It was a three-possession game in the third
quarter; then things just kind of got away from us.
Mike Gray led the Cougars in scoring with 12 points. Sean French
also hit double digits with 10 points. Kyle Shaw scored 8 points and
Conor Gannon knocked down a pair of threes.
The Cougars are 6-11 in NHIAA Division III play this season. They
are currently ranked 20th in the division and the top 20 teams make
the playoffs. Campbell hosts Bow, who is ranked 19th on Friday,
Feb. 26. A win would go a long way to help secure their playoff
chances.

Slow Start Dooms Alvirne


by Mike Bourk
The momentum Alvirne had been building in the latter part of the
season took a hit at Salem where the Broncos fell to the Blue Devils
56-52.
The Broncos started out slow, scoring just six first-quarter points
and leaving them down by 10 after one quarter. While they played
better in the next three quarters, they were not able to make up the
deficit. Coach Brian Lynch has talked about games like this in the

past emphasizing sometimes you can get by with one or two great
quarters; other times you need a full 48 minutes. Tonight Alvirne
played well for 38 of the 48 minutes, but that was not enough.
Danny Brown led Alvirne in scoring with 14 points. Jacen Hudson
contributed 10 points and Jack Brown scored eight. Max BonneyLiles and DJ LaMothe each finished with six.
This was an especially tough loss for Alvirne as Salem was even
with them in the standings. The Broncos are 5-10 in NHIAA Division
I play and 7-11 overall this season.

Thumbs up/Thumbs down to the proposed
new Hudson Fire Station. Do we really need
it, is it the best location, will it function with no
traffic light? Some HFD employees think that
the location will be a disaster! Last year Hudson
voters awarded the HFD $900,000 for a needed
Central Fire renovation. If it was so needed, why
hasnt it even gone out for bid yet? So much time
has passed that the project may have increased
by several hundred thousand dollars. Get one
commitment done at a time and prove you can
handle getting something done.

Clintons surplus came from stealing the Social


Security Fund surplus. Elect Hillary so she can
bankrupt Social Security, good idea. You want
greed, look into the Clinton Foundation. Clue 2:
The Koch brothers earned their money building a
successful business enterprise. Hillary is bought
and paid for by the evil George Soros (the one
who got rich trying to destroy Britains currency),
$10 million plus to her campaign. Question:
How can anybody support someone who is as
morally corrupt as Hillary unless they are cut from
the same cloth?

Thumbs up to the previous thumbs down


regarding hearing about the opioid crisis! My
wife and I are also tired of hearing about the
voluntary problems that other people brought
upon themselves. This epidemic is just another
example of people expecting others and the
government to step in and solve their issues
instead of having personal accountability.

Thumbs up to Mr. Donald Trump! Thank


you sir for caring enough about us and this once
proud country. A man of your tremendous stature
doesnt need us to make you a great human being.
You could have easily walked away and lived
happily ever after but you cared enough about
the place you were born and the people in it to
step up and take on the waste and corruption in
Washington. Thank you, Mr. President, and God
Bless America! Please folks, get out and vote, its
your duty and right as a U.S. citizen to vote and
to start caring again about this once proud and
revered nation!

Thumbs down those voting against the teacher


contract in Hudson. It isnt about a raise. Its
about being competitive with local districts
and keeping good teachers in Hudson. A new
teacher with a Bachelor of Arts can make $6K
more in Nashua or $4K more in Windham. An
experienced teacher with a masters can raise
their salary by $12K by teaching in Nashua or
$8K for Windham. Why would a teacher want to
say in Hudson, where salaries are lower than all
neighboring districts and the town fails to support
the schools by voting down contracts year after
year? Please vote yes!
Thumbs up to those supporting replacement
of the track at Alvirne High School by voting yes
on number 7. The track is in such poor condition
that they are no longer able to hold track meets
at Alvirne. This means paying to bus our students
to other schools. The time is right to replace this
track, while gas prices are low. Putting it off will
only make it more expensive. The track is open
to the community and all are welcome to use it.
Please support this warrant article for our students
and community. Vote yes on number 7!

Thumbs down to the new


Ashley Ashbrook Distribution
Center on Roosevelt Ave. in
Hudson. Is it really necessary
to have your dumpsters
emptied, with all the crashing
and banging that brings, in the
wee hours of the night? Please
tell your trash company not to
come between 3 and 5 a.m. as
theyve been doing. After 7 a.m.
would show you have some
concern for your neighbors. If
the trash company gives you an
argument, tell them youll get a
new service. Right now youre
not very good neighbors, but that can change if
you make an effort to curb the middle of the night
noise.
Thumbs up/Thumbs down for thought

Thumbs up to the coaches, wrestlers, parents


and fans of the CHS wrestling
team on winning the first
ever wrestling state title.
Congratulations.
Thumbs up to Coach
Gannon times two. Your hard
work and dedication to our boys
is an inspiration. Thank you for
believing in them and helping
them believe in themselves.

Special Operations Unit Responds


to Hudson Residence
submitted by Hudson Police Department
On Feb. 23, at 10:50 a.m., officers began responding to 29
Woodcrest Dr. The residents of 29 Woodcrest reported that while they
were in the residence an unknown male subject entered the house
brandishing a handgun. Subsequently, the homeowners fled the house
to a safe location.
When the officers arrived at the residence, a perimeter was
established, and attempts were made to contact the male subject
inside the house. At about 12:50 p.m., the Southern New Hampshire Operations Unit arrived on
scene to assume the perimeter. Eventually, members of the Southern New Hampshire Operations
Unit entered the home and took Matthew Felton, 36, of Somersworth, N.H., into custody without
incident. No police officers were injured.
Currently, this is an active investigation. The Hudson Police Department Crime Scene Unit is on
scene processing the residence, and the Hudson Police Department Criminal Investigation Unit is
investigating the incident. As of this writing, Felton is being charged with Burglary and Criminal
Threatening, both Class A felonies. Felton refused bail and was scheduled to be arraigned at the 9th
Circuit Court in Nashua on Feb. 24; bail is yet to be determined.
It appears that this is an isolated incident, and those residing nearby were not in danger.
However, the Hudson Police Department would like to remind everyone to immediately report any
suspicious activity.

Following a stretch of losses, the Avalanche needed to compose themselves if they
want to make a run at the playoffs. The stage was set at St. Anselm College to face off
against Trinity (7-5).
This would truly
turn into one of
Alvirne-Pelhams
best games on the
defensive side of the
puck. Sophomore
Doug Herling would
start the scoring for
the Avs early in the
first period, and that
is all that they would
need. Senior goalie
Curtis Richalls 28save shutout would
lead the Avalanche
to a 3-0 victory over
a Trinity team that
is very much in the
playoff picture.
The game would
stay at 1-0 in favor
of the Avalanche
throughout the first
period. About seven
minutes into the
game, an own goal
on a delayed penalty
put Alvirne-Pelham

up 2-0. The goal was
credited to Bobby
Haverty, as he was the
last Avalanche player to touch the puck before it found its way into the Trinity net. This
turn of events would light a fire under the Trinity Pioneers and lead to them producing a
flurry of shots on Curtis Richall at the beginning of the third period, but the strong play
of the Avalanche team would stop their momentum. Halfway through the third period, a
beautiful breakaway goal by Brendan Parent put the Avs up 3-0 and would put the game
away for good. This win improves the Avalanche record to 4-10 and they will need a
near-perfect last four games to make the playoffs. With the momentum generated from
this dominating win, it is very much possible.

The Salem Blue Devils came to Steckevicz Gym on
Friday the 19th, and had to take the bus ride back to
Salem with their heads in their hands as the Lady Broncos
ran them off the court, 51 to 21. This win moved the
home team into fifth in the tough NHIAA Division One.
It was senior night for the Alvirne girls, and Coach
Szuksta started the Ratte sisters, Emily and Samantha, as
well as Jessica Baker, since both Vivian Susko and Tana
Tufts are out injured.
Szuksta talked about the game: Our seniors gave us
an early boost to help us defeat a tough Salem team. Led
by the scrappy defense of senior Emily Ratte, the Broncos
were able to hold Salem scoreless for over 12 minutes
from the second to third quarter. Seniors Jess Baker and
Sam Ratte paced the Broncos offense along with Junior
Amanda Wetmore.
With 14 points, Wetmore led all scorers, followed by
Sam Ratte with 13 and Baker at 11. The leader in scoring
for the Blue Devils was Alexandra Sirmaian with 10
points
Tuesday saw Winnacunnet coming into Hudson with
a 13-3 record to face the 12-4 Broncos. Coach Szukata
reported that both Alvirne and Winnacunnet played a
hard fought game with Winnacunnet pulling away in the

fourth for a nine-point win. Alvirne was plagued by foul
trouble throughout. Winnacunnets offense was led by
Meg Knollmeyer with 20 points. She was tough to stop
on the glass all night. When the buzzer sounded it was
Winnacunnet 42 and Alvirne 33.
Leading Alvirne were Jess Baker and Amanda Wetmore,
both with nine points.
The Broncos close out their season at Trinity High
School on Friday, Feb. 26; Alvirne defeated the Crusaders
at the end of January, 62 to 41. As the current sixth
seed, Alvirne should be at home for the first round of D1
playoffs. The pairing and schedule will be released on
Monday, with the preliminary round on March 9 at the
home of the higher seed.

Nine members of the HMS wrestling team spent
Valentines Day at the New Hampshire Middle
School Meet of Champions at Kearsarge Regional
Middle School in Sutton, N.H.
Seventh and eighth grade wrestlers, who
qualified for this tournament through the divisional
tournament last weekend, were Reiley Beverlie,
Devin Murphy, Ayden Spencer, Tim Barrett, Kyle
Gora and Alec Prescott, all whom competed in the
Meet of Champions.
Sixth grade wrestlers competing in the tournament
were Raina Merrow, Kory Couillard and Cam Pedi.
This tournament represents the final event of
the middle school wrestling season and crowns
state champions in first through sixth place for
each weight bracket. The top four seeds from this
tournament also qualify for the All New England
Championship Tournament in March.
For the sixth graders competing in their first Meet
of Champions it was a great day to compete, wrestle
and face new opponents. Cam, Kory and Raina all
fell in the double-elimination event but earned more
experience to bring back to the mat next season.
Devin Murphy, at 118 pounds, and Ayden
Spencer, at 112 pounds, both went 1-2 on the day
and finished in the top six. Reiley Beverlie, also in
the very competitive 112 pound bracket, wrestled
hard but went 0-2 and did not place this year.
Kyle Gora went 3-0 in the tournament and won
first place for the 143 pound weight class, Alec
Prescott was 2-1 for the day capturing second place
in the 154 pound bracket, and Tim Barrett went 3-1
in the 130 pound bracket taking third place for that
weight class.
Kyle, Alec and Tim all qualify to move on to the
New England Championships in Massachusetts.
Overall, HMS has had great success this season
for a team small in numbers, and this final event of
the year shows it. Seventy-five percent of the HMS
wrestlers that needed to qualify to attend this meet
did so, and, of the nine wrestlers who competed,
five of them finished in the top 6 statewide with
three of them moving on to the regionals.
A special thanks to the coaches and the dads with

wrestling experience who stepped up throughout all


the tournaments to help the coach.
HMS Wrestling Places Third in Divisionals
The weekend before the NH Meet of Champions,
the HMS wrestling team hit the road on Feb. 7 for
an early morning weigh-in and all-day wrestling
tournament at Timberlane Regional High School
in Plaistow for the Middle School Divisionals.
Ultimately, the HMS team took third-place honors
for team scoring.
In all, nine boys from the HMS team went to the
divisional tournament to compete for a spot in the
Meet of Champions.
There was a high level of competition this
weekend and it showed in all the matches. Far
fewer matches were won by early decisions and pin
falls, with many more matches going the distance,
in three-round contests that matched skill, agility,
cunning, strength and endurance.
Matt Burns and Reilley Beverlie both wrestled
well in their respective brackets and each finished in
sixth place. Devin Murphy won his last match of the
day to capture third in his bracket. All three boys
qualified to move on to the Meet of Champions.
Casey Corleto and Nathan Emanuelson also
competed and wrestled well, but did not place high
enough to move on to the Meet of Champions.
Tim Barrett and Ayden Spencer both fought well
and aggressively through the tournament, earning
them each a championship match in their weight
classes.
Both matches went three physical rounds, and
both wrestlers ended up with second-place medals,
the right to wrestle at the Meet of Champions, and
perhaps the opportunity to meet these opponents
again with new vigor.
Alec Prescott and Kyle Gora also wrestled well
and aggressively for HMS. Both wrestlers won their
championship matches, and captured first place for
their weight classes.
Alec won his match by pinning his opponent in
the third round of a tough physical match, and Kyle
showed his wrestling skills by earning a technical
fall on his opponent, outscoring him 15-0.

The 2015 Granite State Pro Stock Series Champion, No. 12
Derek Griffith looks to improve on previous trips to the sunshine
state as the young New Hampshire driver embarks on his trip to the
prestigious Florida Speedweeks events.
Speedweeks is what is generally considered as the unofficial
kick-off to the upcoming race season. Drivers from far and wide
converge at the historic New Smyrna Speedway in New Smyrna
Beach, Fla., for many nights of racing action. Griffith is no
stranger to the events, having competed two times before; this time
though, he believes his finishes will be different: Our previous
trips to Florida for Speedweeks were more to get seat-time and get
acclimated to the higher horsepower Super Late Model race cars,
than really thinking we could compete for wins.
2016 is going to be different, my Crew Chief Louie Mechalides
and my team believe with the progress we made in 2015, it will
translate to competing for wins at the -mile, high-banked NSS. The
level of competition is very good at Speedweeks, and I think well
step up our game and put on a good show.
Griffith is also set to defend his GSPSS crown when the northern
race season starts around April. We are looking forward to
becoming a back-to-back champion, it would mean a lot to us, he

Undefeated Season for Ladies

Thirteen Broncos Give Outstanding Performances at States

submitted by Sean Mclaughlin
The Alvirne High School girls and boys
swimming and diving programs capped off an
amazing regular season run, turning in for the first
time in school history an undefeated 15-0 record
for the ladies as well as a very impressive 6-9 for
the guys team.
The entire Bronco team was collectively on
a mission from their very first practice. Day
after day, practice after practice, and meet after
meet, the teams combined would turn in solid
performances. Already showing they were in true
state championship form, they would go on to
achieve numerous individual and relay victories.
Beating teams from local powerhouse schools,
like Bishop Guertin, Londonderry and Pinkerton,
the coaches, as well as the swimmers and divers,
knew that something special was happening.
Through their hard work and determination
in and out of the water, along with numerous
personal goals that were set throughout the
regular season, the Broncos were privileged
enough to send 13 qualifiers to the state
swimming and diving championships on Feb. 12
and 13 at the University of New Hampshire. The
girls were led by senior captains Lauren Somers,
Julia Balukonis, Erin Beals and Ashley Dumais,
along with teammates Jenna Banatwala, Arianna
Nigioni, Haley Summers, Madison Delacruz and
Blake Boulia. The boys were led by captains John

Haley Summers, Madison DeLacruz, Arianna Nigioni and


Lauren Somers with second-place 400 freestyle relay
Sojka and Patrick Cabrera who were joined by
teammates Adam Banatwala and Josh Allard to
round out the foursome.
With the meet format having changed this
season to preliminaries in the morning and finals
at night, both teams would have to bring their A
games to the meet by performing at their best not
only once but twice in the same day. The Lady
Broncos swam their way to an all-time best fourthplace 146 point finish at the championships while
breaking seven school records along the way.
Leading the way for the ladies was senior
Lauren Somers who continued her dominance
as New Hampshires top high school female
swimmer with first-place victories in the 100
and 200 freestyle events cruising into the wall at
an outstanding 51.61 and 1.53.51. Teammates
Haley Summers and Arianna Nigioni turned in
dominating performances of their own finishing
second in the 50 freestyle at 25.80 and a ninthplace 58.99 finish in the 100 freestyle for
Summers while Nigioni finished sixth in both the
100 freestyle 56.86 and 100 backstroke 1.02.53.
The trio was then joined by freshman Madison
DeLacruz to round out their second place 3.44.67
400 freestyle relay along with a fourth place
1.57.19 200 medley relay finish. DeLacruz would
go on to team up with seniors Julia Balukonis
and Erin Beals, along with junior Blake Boulia
for a solid eighth-place 1.51.68 finish in the 200
freestyle relay. Beals and Delacruz would also

turn in impressive swims on the day touching


the wall at 1.13.66 in the 100 backstroke
for Beals and a 2.13.66 200 freestyle for
Delacruz. Rounding out the day for the ladies
was the very dedicated Bronco diving duo of
Balukonis and senior Jenna Banatwala who
dove to a third- and sixth-place finish in the
very competitive 1-meter 11-dive event.
The Bronco boys were led by outstanding
performances from senior captain John Sojka
and junior captain Patrick Cabrera to a solid
11th place finish on the boys side. Sojka
swam to a 10th place 55.46 100 freestyle and
13th place 1.12.08 100 breaststroke at the
prelims in the morning while Cabrera swam
to a 15th place 25.47 50 freestyle and 12th
place 56.44 100 freestyle also at prelims. The
story of the day though for the boys comes
from the 100 freestyle final where Sojka and
Cabrera touched the wall at an identical time
of 56.14 11th-place finish capping off a fierce
season-long friendly competition between
the duo. Teammate Adam Banatwala turned
in very impressive and best time swims
of his own in his 15th place 1.07.83 100
backstroke along with a 2.25.39 200 individual
medley. Sojka, Cabrara and Banatwala were then
joined by freshman Josh Allard in teaming up for
impressive swims in their 10th place 2.03.63 200
medley relay along with a 10th place 1.46.79 200
freestyle relay.
The coaches are extremely proud of each
and every athlete and their accomplishments
this season. Thanks to the incredible parent
organization FAST along with all the parents
for their hard work and countless hours of time
and dedication to the program. This truly is a

Madison, Blake, Erin and Julia in 200 freestyle relay


family and this special season is something to
be very, very proud of. Best of luck and a big
thank you to all of the seniors. The following are
Alvirne Swimming and Diving 2015-2016 seniors:
Captain Julia Balukonis, Captain Erin Beals,
Captain Ashley Dumais, Captain Lauren Somers,
Captain John Sojka, Jenna Banatwala, Hope
Cunniff, Erika Gareri, Dena Hoffman, Gillian
McNally, Arianna Nigioni and Desiree Robinson.
We are all looking forward to beginning another
exciting chapter of Alvirne Swimming and Diving
in the fall.
Great job Broncos!

Bronco Cole Sevigny scores points for exposing his opponents shoulders to the mat.
by Len Lathrop
With every Bronco wrestling story this season, the question lingers
of whether it is an individual sport; consider that only one man is
on the mat at one time. However, there is that overall spirit that
makes a team: warming up together, waiting together, and shouting
encouragement and instruction as each teammate grapples on the
mat.
The Alvirne team had a man in every weight class on Saturday
at Nashua North. The student-athletes fighting for Alvirne were as

When the day was done and the three mats did not have wrestlers
on them, several Broncos had proven themselves better grapplers
than everyone else in their weight class for all NHIAA Division 1
schools. Nick Milinazzo, a junior, was the first-place Division 1
champion at 126 pounds. He also was awarded the outstanding
wrestler title at the conclusion of the tournament for how well he
wrestled. Nick was seeded number 2; he defeated a wrestler from
Timberlane in the semi-finals who had beaten Nick earlier in the
year. In the finals, Millinazzo bested a wrestler from Londonderry by
8-7 points who was ranked number 1 over Nick. The Londonderry
athlete had beaten Nick last year in the state championship.
Coach John Mirabella said, It was a great win and he definitely
deserved the OW (outstanding wrestler).
Meanwhile, sophomore Cam McClure placed second in the 113
pound weight class. He wrestled well, and, in the finals, the Keene
fighter caught him off guard a couple of times, beating him in a
decision 5-2. The Keene upperclassman was the more experienced
wrestler; Mirabella knows that McClure will be looking for revenge
come the Meet of Champions, Saturday, Feb. 27 at Nashua North.
Finishing in placing third in the 220 pound weight class was
senior DaShaun Morin. Teammate Jake Leigh, a sophomore, placed
sixth in the 106 weight class.
An excited Coach Mirabella mentioned that the Broncos are a
young team with a lot of talent. The team is preparing for a great day
on Saturday at the Meet of Champions where all New Hampshire
divisions come together
