Young Julia and her mother, Kathy Harwarth, Windham, place their roses
at the base of the 9/11 steel beam after the conclusion of the
9/11 Observance at the Hudson 9/11 Memorial.

by Doug Robinson
We are here today to reflect, honor and
remember 9/11/2001, began Hudsons Board of
Selectman Chairman Richard Maddox. Time
passes quickly. First graders in 2001 are now
in college.
More than 200 people lined the walkway
as they attended the 9/11/2015 Memorial
Day Observance at Benson Park.
The program began at 6:30 p.m. with
an invocation offered by Reverend Howe,
followed by the national anthem sung by
Hudson Firefighter Michael Armand, and
then the presentation of colors by both
firefighters and police officers.
Hudson Police Chief Jason Lavoie and
Hudson Fire Chief Robert Buxton joined
as they laid a wreath at the base of the steel
beam that came from Tower 1 at the World
Trade Center.
Upon completion of Taps and the closing
remarks by Selectman Maddox, many in
attendance walked the pathway to approach the
steel beam.

By the Numbers - Welcoming the Class of 2027


by Len Lathrop
The Hudson school system offers a unique event that, unless you have had a first
grader in the past eight years, you might not know about. Every year incoming
students are given a T-shirt with their graduation year on them. This years 199
students were seated by class on the floor of the H. O. Smith School, which is where
all first graders start their education. Most had been in kindergarten at the Library
Street School last year, but that was only a half-day program. This year they had
become real full-day scholars.
Superintendent Bryan Lane greeted everyone and explained what a graduation
year meant - how this was their number and no one could take it away from them,
and they would be the only ones to ever be the class of 2027 at Alvirne High School.
Several students from the high school came to H. O. Smith to help pass out the
T-shirts and introduced themselves as the class of 2016, their exclusive number.
Lane made a special point of getting the first graders to know what AHS meant Alvirne High School. Then, as he has done for all his years as high school principal,
he demonstrated the Bronco Cheer as only Mr. Lane could.
As the class of 2027 where excitedly heading back to their class, Lane pointed out
that that is why they always do the T-shirt distribution at the end of the day on Friday,
as now all the teachers had to do was get the maroon-clothed people on to their
buses for the ride home.

Alvirnes Lady Broncos are Truly More than a Soccer Team


by Len Lathrop
Playing high school sports is a major commitment
for every sport --fall, winter or spring. But if you
want to be part of the Alvirne girls Soccer team, it
not only means making apple pies for the Hudson
police and firefighters on Labor Day but also
washing cars the next Saturday in the high school
parking lot. This is the only fundraiser that the team
does.

Washing cars on Saturday were, counter clockwise, Emily

The Word Around Town...


Letters to our Editor
Get Involved - Become a Scout
at a time when our nation focuses on character
and leadership, we must remember that todays
youth are tomorrows leaders and represent our
future. as a parent, i want my son to grow up to be
a self-reliant, dependable, and caring individual with
a strong set of ethical values.
in my familys experience, the Boy scouts of
america has achieved these outcomes by combining
educational activities and lifelong values with fun.
it has helped my family to strengthen character,
develop good citizenship, and enhance both mental
and physical fitness. my son has also been exposed
to positive peer groups as well as the tools that will
help him shape his future. one of my sons used
his scout training to save the life of a person who
was choking. i could not be prouder of him, or of
scouting for enabling him to save that life.
as parents, there are many things we do for our
children. scouting is something we do with our
children. Cub scouting has programs for each boy
in grades one through five. older boys may join
the Boy scout program at age 11. You can also get
involved in a number of ways as an adult volunteer
leader.
This fall is the perfect time for your son to
start the scouting program. The daniel Webster
Council, the scouting organization that serves New
Hampshire, will be conducting school Nights to
join scouting in nearly every elementary school in
our area. our Hudson and Litchfield elementary
schools will be conducting a Join scouting Night on
sept. 24 from 6 to 8 p.m.
if you would like more information you can call
the council office at (603) 625-6431. You can also
visit www.cubscoutsrocket.org for more information
about joining Cub scouts.
scouting is one of the best things we did for my
sons. it also has been important for our family. i
believe that you will find this to be true for your
family as well.
Ben Dibble, Hudson

Heroin in Hudson A Community Discussion

603.821.9052
www.breaultlaw.com

by Doug Robinson
Did you know: Last year, 321 people died from
their addiction to heroin in New Hampshire? For
Hudsons first six months of this year, Hudson is
trending a 10 to 15 percent increase over last year
with emergency ambulance runs to help those who
have overdosed?
Did you know: NH is the 49th worst state (after
Texas) in the United States in budgeting for opioid
abuse and the care of those with addictions?
Did you know: Babies are now being born who
are biologically addicted to heroin and opioids;
most heroin addicts over 35 years old started
their addiction to opioids as a result of medically
prescribed pain killers, by a doctor, for a medical
injury?
Did you know: The cost for a hit of heroin is only
$10? A few years ago, it was $80.
In response to these serious times, the Area News
Group will host Heroin in Hudson - A Community
Discussion at the Community Center, Oct. 1, at 6
p.m.
The doors will open at 5 p.m. for those who wish
to visit with more than a dozen local agencies who
have committed their participation to help, guide,
and advise residents about heroin and other addictive
drugs.
The Greater Nashua Public Health Network,
Pelham Community Coalition, Hudson Fire
Department, Hudson Police Department, Hudson at
Risk Coordinator, local legislators and Senator Kelly
Ayotte will be available to speak with anyone wishing
to speak about the concerns of heroin.
On hand will be the Merrimack River Medical
Center that administers the local methadone program,
FED-Up, a national heroin awareness organization to
march on Washington, D.C.,
Oct. 4. Hope for Recovery, Lamprey Health Care,
H.E.A.R.T.s. and the F.A.S.T.E.R Group will also be
present and available for any and all discussions.

Applauding NH Drug-Free
Communities Funding Awards
submitted by the Ofce of U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte
On Tuesday, Sept. 28, U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) applauded
the announcement that 10 New Hampshire programs will receive
over $1 million in federal funding as part of the Drug-Free
Communities Support Program, which she has strongly supported in
the Senate.
New Hampshire residents know that a community-centered
approach is the best method for fighting our growing substance
abuse crisis, and Ive seen firsthand the important work being done
by Granite Staters at the state and local levels. Ive been a strong
supporter of federal support for these community-based programs,
and my bill, the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act,
would supplement this funding and support further work, Ayotte
said. The DFC funding awards announced today will contribute

on Sept. 9 to help their firefighters knock down and overhaul


a blaze in a large construction debris pile. Hudson Fire Alarm
dispatched Engine 1 with a crew of three firefighters, Car 1 with a
chief officer and Car 4 with the shift commander scene just before
10 p.m.
On arrival at the fire, Hudson crews were assigned to operate
large-caliber hose streams into the heavy involved pile some three
stories high with a length and height of hundreds of feet. The
pile made up of discarded wood products was being prepared for
recycling.
Thousands of feet of hose were stretched to a hydrant to supply
water to the scene. High temperatures hampered crews efforts
as they worked. Throughout the night Hudson firefighters rotated
through several areas of the fire scene pouring water onto the
flames. In the early hours of the morning the crew was assigned to
work in the smoke fill processing building to keep the flames from
entering the structure.
As daylight began to show on the horizon Hudson crews were
cleared from the scene and returned to town just after 5:30 a.m.

valuable resources are coming to our state.
The Office of National Drug Control Policy announced FY 2015
Drug-Free Communities Support Program new and continuation
awards in New Hampshire and across the country this week.
In the Senate, Ayotte has strongly supported DFC funding and
advocated for greater resources for community-based efforts
to address local drug crises. She helped introduce bipartisan
legislation, the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act that
would support these efforts and allow organizations that received
a Drug-Free Communities grant to receive additional funds to help
implement local strategies to combat drug use and addiction.

Month of September
September is Fine Amnesty Month at the Rodgers

no fines will be charged on overdue library
materials that are returned so dig out those library
books hiding under your bed and those DVDs still
in your player and bring them back fine free. You
may also request that previous fines be forgiven so
you can start borrowing library materials again with
a clean slate. The library will not forgive charges
for lost materials; you are responsible for paying to

presenting Songs of Old New Hampshire at 2
p.m. at the Rodgers Memorial Library. He offers
the songs and stories that, in the words of Carl
Sandburg, tell us where we came from and what
brought us along. These ballads, love songs and
comic pieces, reveal the experiences and emotions
of daily life in the days before movies, sound

recordings and, for some, books. Songs from the


lumber camps, the decks of sailing ships, the textile
mills and the war between the sexes offer views of
pre-industrial New England and a chance to hear
living artifacts from the 18th and 19th centuries.

University of Wisconsin. He then attended and eventually taught


glass sculpting at the Rhode Island School of Design. He also
studied in a glass factory in Venice, Italy. He has an international
glass center in Washington State and his works have been displayed
in museums worldwide, receiving many awards.
At Rodgers Memorial Library, the budding artists met once
per week. Before tackling the larger sculptures, they first made
individual mini versions. We did other papier-mch projects to
get used to the medium, said Miss Kristen. They then produced
their own version of Chihuly inspired Niijima Floats, which
decorate the front flower beds of the library. The floats get a lot
of compliments. Many people ask about them, and think they are
boulders, Miss Kristen said. They are actually large latex balloons,
covered with many layers of papier-mch, Mod Podge and paint.
I then polyurethaned them, wrapped them in plastic wrap and
polyurethaned them again. It is my own original method, Miss

Miss Kristen (left) with her talented Niijima Floats artists who helped decorate
the librarys flower beds.
Kristen added.
The Childrens Room is adorned with the sea form mosaic made
from coffee filters. Inside the librarys foyer hangs the lighted plastic
bottle chandelier. The students colored long strips of plastic that
were then coiled around a rod and melted with a hair dryer to
form the long glass-like prisms. They were then connected to a
wire form and lit from underneath. The chandelier has even inspired
others.
We had a patron who plans activities at a nursing home who
borrowed the rod we used to coil the plastic, and they made
planters, Miss Kristen said.
It is cool that this made the kids think outside the box, because
thats really needed these days, said library employee Chris
Sweeney.
As the days get shorter and the weather turns cooler, the Niijima
Floats will be stored for the winter. The new program this fall is
called Paint It! on Tuesdays from 6:30-7:30 p.m.; kids aged 8-11
and 5-7 (accompanied by an adult) will discover the world of paint,
using various mediums and many art books for inspiration.

Hudson resident Lauren Neish will participate in the
Central New Hampshire Walk to End Alzheimers on
Saturday, Sept. 26, at Arms Park in Manchester.
Alzheimers has affected my family greatly, said Neish,
who walks to honor both grandmother and two great aunts
who all had Alzheimers. I saw firsthand how this disease
can rob someone of their memories, their hopes and dreams
and their life. I want to do my part to help find a cure for
Alzheimers so future generations dont have to suffer.
This is Neishs second year participating in the Walk to
End Alzheimers. In 2014 Neish raised over $700 for the
event.
If we are to be successful in finding effective treatments
for Alzheimers disease, we will need thousands of people
to commit to raising public awareness, said Jim Wessler,
president/CEO of the Alzheimers Association, MA/NH
Chapter. The money raised by the Walk to End Alzheimers
is critical to our fight against this disease. We are grateful
to each person who makes a commitment to participate by
walking, donating or volunteering.
More than 5 million people in America are living with
Alzheimers. The Alzheimers Association Walk to End
Alzheimers is the nations largest event to raise awareness
and funds for Alzheimers care, support and research.

Motor Vehicle Accident


Sends One to Hospital
submitted by
Hudson Police Department
On Sept. 11 at around 11:28 in
the morning the Hudson Fire and
Police departments responded to the
intersection of Ferry Street and Library
Street for a motor vehicle collision.
The crash occurred between a Toyota
Camry driven by Irene Lapointe, 85, or
Nashua and a GMC box van driven by
Kevin Duncklee, 54, also of Nashua.
The GMC was traveling north on Library
Street and the Toyota was traveling east
on Ferry Street. The Toyota apparently
ran the red traffic signal and struck
the box van as it traveled through the
intersection. The Toyota ended up
coming to rest in the Town Common.
Lapointe was transported to St. Joseph
Hospital in Nashua as a precaution.
Duncklee was not injured in this crash.

Hudson - Litchfield News | September 18, 2015 - 7

by Doug Robinson
At the Sept. 1 meeting, the Hudson Board of Selectmen
unanimously voted to discontinue the practice of having the
highway department plow snow at Hudson schools.
Please be advised the Hudson Board of Selectmen voted 5-0
to advise the School Department that they are responsible for the
plowing of the School Department facilities effective October 1,
2015. School Department facilities would include School parking
lots.
The selectmen did elect to continue with the removal of the
snow banks.
According to Hudsons Road Agent Kevin Burns, I had
budgeted $25,000 for the plowing, and we were about 100
percent over budget.
When the selectmen requested reimbursement of $25,000 from
the school board to help offset this overage, the motion made by
school board member Ben Nadeau died as it did not receive a
second.
The motion to discontinue the plowing was initiated by
Selectman Roger Coutu. My understanding is that you have a

private contractor at the schools in the winter time, said Coutu of


Burns.
Burns confirmed that he did hire contractors for the schools,
and depending on the severity of the snowstorms, he would
decide if additional snow removal vehicles were necessary to get
the schools open by 6 a.m.
When we started the program, the schools did not have any
equipment, Burns explained. It was natural for us to do as we
had. Recently the schools bought three trucks with plows and
have a maintenance facility at the high school and they have a
sander for one of the trucks. They have two full-time year round
grounds keepers.
Coutu stated, It (the money) comes out of the same hand. In
principle it is unfair of the school department, who had a surplus
of (budgeted) monies refuse to give one dime to the town.
They build a shed to house trucks and plows and do not use them
because Kevin will run down there, and out of his pocket put our
town trucks on the school property.
The decision made by the Hudson Board of Selectmen carried
5-0 to stop the school plowing by the town.

Act. As recently as the 1960s, these rabbits were found throughout
southern and central New Hampshire. Today only a few scattered
populations occupy less than 25 percent of their historic range
remaining only in the Seacoast and Merrimack Valley regions.
Thanks to ongoing state and local conservation efforts, New
Hampshire has the native cottontail poised to bounce back.
Andreozzi will speak about the biology of New England

cottontail, management techniques to enhance wildlife habitats,


the conservation efforts underway to help restore this rare rabbit,
and current state and federal habitat enhancement programs that
offer technical and financial assistance to landowners.
This program is free and open to the public.
UNH Cooperative Extension brings information and education
into the communities of the Granite State to help make New
Hampshires individuals, businesses, and communities more
successful and its natural resources healthy and productive. For
100 years, their specialists have been tailoring contemporary,
practical education to regional needs, helping create a wellinformed citizenry while strengthening key economic sectors.

Hudson
School District
Enrollment

by Len Lathrop
There have been many conversations about
the size of the enrollments in SAU 81. Opening
day enrollment was part of the information in the
school board packet for its meeting this Monday.
When reviewing the numbers be sure to add
together Nottingham West and Hills Garrison
schools to get the total number of students in
grades two through five.
In speaking with Superintendent Bryan Lane
informally about decreasing enrollments, he
hopes to use the space to develop an in-house
special services team that could reduce the
amount the SAU spends on outplacement
services and transportation. These were just
conversational thoughts that were exchanged.
But note that ideas are being considered with the
bottom line being better services for the students
and cost reductions for the taxpayers.

Dog Struck by Car Succumbs to Injuries


submitted by Hudson Police Department
On Sept. 14, at about 4:15 p.m., a Hudson
police officer was dispatched to Kimball Hill
Road for the report of a canine hit by a motor
vehicle. The owner of the dog reported that his
seven-month-old black-and-white Bulldog mix
was off leash and unattended in the area of 90

Kimball Hill Road when it was struck by a white


sedan. Afterward, the driver of the car left the
scene without making an attempt to locate the
owner of the dog or contacting the Hudson Police
Department. Subsequently, the dog died as a
result of its injuries.

America Celebrates
U.S. Constitution
DAR Promotes Constitution Week Awareness
submitted by DAR National Headquarters
Sept. 17 begins the national celebration
of Constitution Week. The week-long
commemoration of Americas most important
document is one of our countrys least known
official observances. Our Constitution stands as a
testament to the tenacity of Americans throughout
history to maintain their liberties and freedom,
and to ensure those inalienable rights to every
American.
The tradition of celebrating the Constitution
was started many years ago by the Daughters
of the American Revolution. In 1955, the
Daughters petitioned Congress to set aside
Sept. 17-23 annually to be dedicated for the
observance of Constitution Week. The resolution
was later adopted by the U.S. Congress and
signed into Public Law 915 on Aug. 2, 1956,
by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The aims
of the celebration are to (1) emphasize citizens
responsibilities for protecting and defending the
Constitution, preserving it for posterity; (2) inform
the people that the Constitution is the basis for
Americas great heritage and the foundation for
our way of life; and (3) encourage the study of the
historical events which led to the framing of the
Constitution in September 1787.
The United States of America functions as a
Republic under the Constitution, which is the
oldest document still in active use that outlines the
self-government of a people. This landmark idea
that men had the inalienable right as individuals

to be free and live their lives under their own


governance was the impetus of the American
Revolution. Today, the Constitution stands as an
icon of freedom for people around the world.
Constitution Week is the perfect opportunity
to read and study this great document which is
the safeguard of our American liberties, states
DAR President General Lynn Forney Young.
We encourage all citizens across the country
to take time this week to reflect on our heritage
of Freedom and come together to Celebrate
America!
DAR has served America for 125 years as its
foremost cheerleader. In 1928, the Daughters
began work on a building as a memorial to the
Constitution. John Russell Pope, architect of
the Jefferson Memorial, was commissioned to
design the performing arts center known as DAR
Constitution Hall. Today, DAR Constitution Hall is
one of the only structures erected in tribute to the
Constitution of the United States of America.
Knows as the largest womens patriotic
organization in the world, DAR has over 180,000
members with approximately 3,000 chapters in all
50 states and 13 foreign countries. The DAR has
long promoted patriotism through commemorative
celebrations, memorials, scholarships and
activities for children and programs for new
immigrants. For more information about DAR and
its programs visit www.dar.org or call (202) 6281776.

After Five Games CHS Boys Soccer Remains Undefeated


by Len Lathrop
The Campbell boys varsity Soccer team defeated the visiting
Pythons of Pelham on Friday by a score of 5 to 1. Senior forward
Gabe Rosa had his long-awaited breakout game, scoring three of the
Cougars goals. Matt Gagne earned his fifth win in net with another
strong showing by the defense including captains Hayden Stagnone
and TJ Furlong, Chris Woods, and Tyler McCrady.
The scoring went as follows: assist from player in parenthesis:
first goal by Kyle Shaw (J. Furlong), next Gabe Rosa (K. Shaw), then
again Gabe Rosa (J. Furlong), the fourth from Pelhams Dylan Sacca,
Campbells fourth by Nathan Dillow (Z. Perault) and for the hat trick
and the final goal of the game, Gabe Rosa (J. Furlong).
In the goal the tallies were Matt Gagne (Campbell) 7 of 15 shots
and Sean Gellar (Pelham) 17 of 32 shots.
Campbells next game was at Raymond on Wednesday, Sept. 16
(after press deadline).

Kyle Shaw turns away after scoring the Campbell goal.

morning, the windows remain shutting throughout
the day so that outside humidity will not come
inside. Think of that all of these days when
the temperature outside has been in the 90s.
They have no A/C and are not allowed to open
windows!
Thumbs up. A big thumbs up to the
Emergency Room staff, doctors/nurses and aides at
the Southern NH Medical Center. Their care and
exceptional professionalism was shown when my
wife had a medical emergency recently. Also, a
big thank you to all the nurses and nurses aides at
Nurse Station East 4, the great care she received
while there was really appreciated.
Thumbs way down to the former AHS Building
Trades teacher ... the community has been
deeply affected by your actions. I feel bad for the
students who looked up to you. What will the
AHS do to repair the harm that has been done to
all students (directly and indirectly)?
Thumbs down to the Litchfield resident
complaining about our fireworks over the
Labor Day weekend. You complain that we
are irresponsible, but know nothing about the
situation. We checked the conditions with the fire
department that day. It was a neighborhood party
so Im pretty sure my neighbors were not worried
about our actions impacting their safety. Thanks
for your concern, but perhaps your time would be
better spent focusing on yourself?
Thumbs up to the Pinard recycle man

collecting recyclables this past Wednesday


(9/9/15) on Spruce Street in Hudson. He pulled
his truck to the side of the road to help a woman
who had fallen outside her home. He also stayed
and waited with her until help arrived. Thank
you for going above and beyond for a complete
stranger in need.
Thumbs down to the supporter of the Iran
deal. This will be my final rebuttal because you
cannot see beyond your liberalism and obvious
blind allegiance to the current administration.
You also cant see clearly. This final rebuttal is
necessary because you really need to get your
facts straight on polls. Many, many American Jews
see the potential demise of their homeland and
the enormous threat to the region that will result
from this deal. You would know that if you didnt
drown out the things on the news that counter
your tunnel vision. Facts seem less important to
you than your politics.
Thumbs down to every Democrat and Liberal
that still supports the terrorists running the U.S.A.
It will be on your heads that our country will soon
be hit with a nuclear bomb, Israel will be first.
You and you alone have brought this country to
its end. There was no need for a deal in the first
place. They will still nuke us, just sooner, now
that we have given them billions to do it and no
oversight or control. Read up on the real story. It
went through the day before 9/11. That speaks
volumes.
Thumbs down to noise pollution! It is Sunday,
Sept. 13, and starting at 8 a.m. it sounds like the
front lines of a war zone here in Litchfield thanks
to the Londonderry Fish & Game Club. Thumbs
up to the club actually moving to Londonderry ...
or providing soundproofing to the homes within

five miles of the range who must endure this


torture!

more equitable and easier for payments for their


customers.

Thumbs down to the AHS administration ... our


students are aware of recently harm done to the
community by the former Building Trades teacher.
What are you doing to support our students? The
secret is out; now please make it right.

Thumbs up to Arthur T. DeMoulas. Thanks


ever so much for your little notes in each Market
Basket weekly flyer that say Compare and Save.
We did. We compared. We saved. And you lost
the sale. We will, therefore, continue to compare
and to save and will only shop Market Basket for
items that are on sale. How dare you treat us like
this when we saved your butt?

Thumbs up to the man in the red SUV at the


Litchfield dump on Saturday. The woman arguing
with you was in the wrong. People need to have
more consideration for others. If you want to pick
through all the free stuff at the dump, move your
car first so those who are waiting in line can dump
their trash and not wait in line for 20 minutes.

Thumbs down, way down, to the former teacher


at AHS who now has our students feeling like
they cannot trust the teachers... we all know what
happened. When is AHS admin going to make
a statement? What will AHS admin do to make
this right? There are no secrets

Thumbs down to parking


at Alvirne HS. If the school
opened up some space in the
front of the building for visitors
parking and faculty parking that
would allow more spaces for
students to park. Adding 50
spaces with a fee of $20 brings
in $1,000 more a year for
parking. Also eliminates visitors
from walking through the whole
school to get to the office.

Thumbs down, way down, to all Obama


and Hillary supporters. These people and their
administration are killing America and turning
it into a country of non-freedom. They are
making it possible for illegal immigrants to
take over America and this whole nation and
you. The supporters of these worthless traitors
to this country are making it happen. So if it is
mandatory to learn and speak Spanish in the next
few years, just remember ... its your own fault for
not supporting America and its freedom. If you
love America, then vote for Trump! He will make
this country free again! Im a proud American
and if you consider yourself one, too, then vote
for Trump! People like you are just plain lazy
and want Obama to support your lazy butts with
our hard earned money! I have one word for you
Obama supporters - Losers!

Thumbs up to the man in the red truck at the


dump on Saturday. Im sick and tired of waiting in
line to dump my trash while people pick through
the free items. Its about time someone said
something!
Thumbs up to Litchfield residents for speaking
out against excessively loud gun fire and
fireworks.

Trades teacher.
About a month ago, the Fox, at the HLN reported that it was
suspected that there was an investigation of some nature going on at
Alvirne High School.
Everyone was mum about any information about an inquiry at that
time.
The HLN follows the resignations and the hiring of all personnel at
AHS in an attempt to keep the public informed.
Recently, it was learned that the Building Trades teachers position
had been filled by a new instructor. That position had not been
posted, and the school board was not received a resignation from
Trades teacher John Conrad.
In checking the photos and the public staffing information for
AHS, his name was nowhere to be found.
The anonymous thumbs concern themselves with actions that
have occurred and that the community has been deeply affected.
With regards to the AHS administration, the thumbs states, ... to
the AHS Administration our students are aware of recently harm
done to the community by the former Building Trades teacher. What

submitted by Kelly Champagne


This years Hudson Litchfield Bears flag
team consists of two new additions to the
coaching staff, Coach Rob Moreschi and
Coach Richie Sperazzo. The teams moms
are Holly Noone and Amanda Weaver
who are the glue keeping everyone
connected with the special niche they
possess. The team is led by four veteran
players, Tegan Moreschi, Chase Noone,
Zack Slingerland and Patrick Weaver. The
Bears flag team is off to an amazing start
with a record of 3-0, averaging 3.6 TDs
per game.
The team age ranges from 5-7 years of
age. Before the school year starts in the
fall, they practiced three nights per week
with a game on Sunday. When the school
year starts, they back off to one practice
per week.
The team has progressed from a group
of little individuals to a solid team and
worthy opponent. Week one literally went
from coach, look at the plane (while
pointing skyward) to coach, this is my
house and no one is getting by me in my
house!
It is a real pleasure, treat and victory
for the entire Bears organization watching
them progress and grow into the young
men they are becoming.
Next week the HLB Flag team is headed
to the Flag Jamboree in Derry Good
Luck Bears!

The Hudson-Litchfield Bears third-grade
football team went to 3-0 on the season
with a 39-7 victory over Salem on Sunday at
Hudson Memorial School.
Running back Camren Flash Dillon
continued to fill up the score sheet, with four
more touchdowns to run his season total to
10. Quarterback Gabe Conrow had three
touchdown passes for 127 yards, including
a beautiful 25-yard TD hookup to Charlie
Crawford. Shawn Boudreau also added a
long TD run in the second half to complete
the scoring. The success of the backs and
receivers, as always, was directly driven by
the dominating offensive line, anchored by
wild animals Devin Scott, Loghan Marchand,
Shayne Mackey, Donte Trombley, Zach
Poulin, and Patrick Deely. Numerous bonecrushing blocks were also delivered out in
space by Conrow and Crawford to spring
Dillon on his big runs.
The defense continued to dominate, starting
with the defensive front led by Andrew Deely,
Julian Goode, Zach Carter, Ryan Rocheleau,
and Nick Hershberger. Middle linebacker
Gabe Conrow had several de-cleating
tackles, and Crawford, Dillon, and Boudreau
anchored the defensive backfield.
Head Coach Jeff Conrow said The level
of intensity, focus, and dedication shown by
this group of athletes is off the charts for a
group of 8-year-olds, and our coaching staff is
the best in the state. The development of the
team has been a joy to watch this season, and
this is truly a special group of kids.
The team next takes on the winless NorRock Vikings, who will make the journey
from Raymond to Hudson on Sunday morning
for an 8 a.m. game.

Campbell Volleyball Opens


Strong with Four Wins

#16 Cassidy Gibbons fires a return pass to the


Wilton-Lyndeborogh blocker
by Len Lathrop
As the HLN heads to print Wednesday the
Cougars remain undefeated in this new season
with a record of 4-0. They opened on the road at
Mascenic, on Sept. 4, where the set scores were
25-21, 24-26, 25-19, 25-18, with Mascenic taking
the second by two points. Gabi Sott 18 kills, 16
digs; Sophie Scafidi, 34 assists, six kills, six service

points, one ace; Val Boucher, 12 kills, 15 service


points, one ace,18 digs; Cassidy Gibbons, five
kills; Avery Lacroix, 12 service points; and Taysia
Boyson, 26 digs, four assists.
The next two contests were at home, first on
the 9th against Hillsboro-Deering, and then on
the 11th Wilton-Lyndeborough came to Litchfield.
The set scoring was 25-8, 25-9, 25-14 with Gabi
Sott having 10 kills. The Cougars walked pass
Wilton-Lyndeborough with the set scoring 25-13,
25-9, 25-7. Wilton-Lyndeborough only broke into
double digits in one set, Gabi Sott ,12 kills, 10
service points, two aces; Val Boucher, seven kills,
13 digs; Olivia Martinage, six kills, 10 service
points, five aces, one block; Sophie Scafidi, 25
assists; Taysia Boyson, 17 digs; and Avery Lacroix,
12 service points, two aces.
Coach Colin Walker was introspective after the
Wilton-Lyndeborough game noting that the team
is progressing. He knows they will face better
competition in the weeks ahead but nowhave a
better understanding of the work ahead of them.
In talking about the players, Walker pointed
out Val Boucher passed the 500-dig mark against
Wilton-Lyndeborough. Sophie Scafidi is closing
in on 1,000 assists; she has 932. Once she
gets there she will be the first one in Campbell
volleyball history.
On Tuesday, Sept. 15, Trinity came to town with
an undefeated record to set back to Manchester
with a set win under their belt. Set went 25-17,
25-17, 25-20. Gabi Sott, 10 kills, 14 digs, 15
service points, one ace; Val Boucher, 12 kills, 14
digs, 11 service points, three aces; Sophie Scafidi,
26 assists; and Taysia Boyson, 23 digs.
Sophie Scafidi added 26 to her assist record,
which, as of press time Wednesday, totals 958.
Campbell is leading the NHIAA Division 3
scoreboard with its 4-0 record. Also at the top is

comes to the Cougar Den on Oct. 15. While that
is nine games away, a contest of top teams could
be exciting. On Wednesday (after press time)
Campbell traveled to Epping who carries a 1-1
record, and on Sept. 22 will be at Raymond who
is currently winless.

America Celebrates U.S. Constitution


DAR Promotes Constitution Week Awareness
submitted by DAR National Headquarters
Sept. 17 begins the national celebration of Constitution Week. The week-long commemoration of
Americas most important document is one of our countrys least known official observances. Our
Constitution stands as a testament to the tenacity of Americans throughout history to maintain their
liberties and freedom, and to ensure those inalienable rights to every American.
The tradition of celebrating the Constitution was started many years ago by the Daughters of the
American Revolution. In 1955, the Daughters petitioned Congress to set aside Sept. 17-23 annually
to be dedicated for the observance of Constitution Week. The resolution was later adopted by the U.S.
Congress and signed into Public Law 915 on Aug. 2, 1956, by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The
aims of the celebration are to (1) emphasize citizens responsibilities for protecting and defending
the Constitution, preserving it for posterity; (2) inform the people that the Constitution is the basis for
Americas great heritage and the foundation for our way of life; and (3) encourage the study of the
historical events which led to the framing of the Constitution in September 1787.
The United States of America functions as a Republic under the Constitution, which is the oldest
document still in active use that outlines the self-government of a people. This landmark idea that men
had the inalienable right as individuals to be free and live their lives under their own governance was
the impetus of the American Revolution. Today, the Constitution stands as an icon of freedom for people
around the world.
Constitution Week is the perfect opportunity to read and study this great document which is the
safeguard of our American liberties, states DAR President General Lynn Forney Young. We encourage
all citizens across the country to take time this week to reflect on our heritage of Freedom and come
together to Celebrate America!
DAR has served America for 125 years as its foremost cheerleader. In 1928, the Daughters began work
on a building as a memorial to the Constitution. John Russell Pope, architect of the Jefferson Memorial,
was commissioned to design the performing arts center known as DAR Constitution Hall. Today, DAR
Constitution Hall is one of the only structures erected in tribute to the Constitution of the United States of
America.
