by Doug Robinson On September 9, Superintendent Bryan Lane sent to the Hudson School Board members a memo titled Revenue in the 2014-2015 School Year. The purpose of the memo was to outline possible projection losses from this years school budget and possible ways to increase revenue in an effort to provide the children of Hudson with their continued quality of education. Superintendent Lane outlined that due to a reduction in impact fees of $150,000, decrease in the adequacy grant (due to decreased enrollment) $50,000, a decrease in the enrollment of kindergarten students from 200 to 186 (approximately) $25,000 and the anticipated decrease in federal funds of $199,225, Hudsons School budget could be affected by $425,000. In an effort to increase revenue funding, the School Board and the Superintendent addressed his bullets: A conservative estimate is that half the student population at Alvirne rides the bus that is about 675 students. If the charge for the ridership was $50 per semester, this could produce approximately $68,000, in revenue, 2.7 cents on the tax rate. There are about 600 participants in the various sports at Alvirne, 200 at the middle school. Fees at both the high school and middle school could be charged at a rate of $100 per athletic season, and we (could) cap each family at $300. (A) conservative estimate would be revenue in the amount of $50,000. Superintendent Lane states that the recruitment of students would be questionable. There are currently three students who the board has granted permission to attend Alvirne, these students would be attending next year as well with a tuition rate of $10,800. continued to page 13- School Board

Remembering a Tragedy
by Laurie Jasper Today marks the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. On that fateful Friday, November 22, 1963, President Kennedy was shot as he rode in a motorcade through Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas, TX, his wife Jacqueline Kennedy by his side. Texas Governor John Connally was also shot and wounded. In one brief moment, the hopes and dreams of the entire United States became a nightmare. Young, vibrant, and handsome John Fitzgerald Kennedy had been the countrys 35th president for only two years, ten months and two days. A decorated World War II Navy veteran, Kennedy was elected twice to the House of Representatives before being elected United States Senator from Massachusetts in 1952. On September 12, 1953, 36-year-old Kennedy wed 24-year-old Jacqueline Bouvier in Newport, Rhode Islands social event of the year. Their courtship and marriage made headlines throughout the nation. Senator Kennedy was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for biography in 1957 for his book, Proles In to the Washington political scene and the world. At 43, he was the youngest president to ever be elected, and was the rst Irish Catholic president. For those who lived through that signicant time in history, the memories of November 22, 1963 are as vivid today as they were 50 years ago. Today is a day to recall and remember, whether through this article or the countless news programs and articles commemorating this date in Americas history. Share your story with family and friends. For those who were not yet born, ask older family members about this date in their lives. The following are but a few such recollections. I was in the fth grade at Sacred Heart School in Lowell, Massachusetts, shared Eileen Lathrop. I remember Sister standing up in front of the classroom, looking very somber, and telling us the President had been shot. She then turned on the television that was in front of the class. I remember where I was sitting, the nuns were crying, we didnt know what to do. We felt helpless. It was so quiet. We could feel the sadness in the adults expressions; we didnt feel safe. It was a terrible feeling, Eileen recalled. That weekend, the family watched the television all day. My mother never turned off the TV. I made a scrapbook of all the newspaper articles. We always followed the Kennedys. continued to page 9- JFK

National Guard Member and Family Receive First Tree of the Season
by AJ Dickinson Litcheld residents gathered at Noels Tree Farm Friday, November 15, for the ceremonial rst tree cutting of the season. Noels supports and donates to the national organization, Trees For Troops, every year. However, this years tree donation hits a little closer to home. Litcheld resident, Specialist Jones of the Army National Guard, and his family will be receiving the ceremonial rst tree of the season, and who better to help him cut it down than the Governor of New Hampshire, Maggie Hassan? When asked how it felt to give Specialist Jones and his family that tree, the Governor responded, It is an amazing feeling. Our men and woman in the military do so much for all of us ... so dont their families. Families rarely raise their hands to volunteer but their sacrices are signicant and its really great to see that this tree is going to Specialist Joness home with his family. Its also just a really great day to remind people that the Christmas tree industry is a big part of our agricultural sector in New Hampshire, and New Hampshire is a great place for people to visit to cut down their trees. People from all over New England can come here. Farms like Noels, here in Litcheld, have great things for the kids to do while youre coming to cut down your tree, so you can really make it a family affair and a whole day event. Specialist Jones, who was a little nervous about meeting the governor for the rst time, stated that the event was a really cool experience. All who attended enjoyed coffee and refreshments by an open re as they got the chance to talk to Governor Hassan.

by Gloria Lavoie Its the second Wednesday of the month. Junior Womens Club President Laura Edmands is rst to arrive for her monthly meeting at Hudsons Rodgers Librarys meeting room. She assembles tables in the center of the room and begins unloading piles of eece fabric. She starts methodically cutting strips into the colorful fabric. She is preparing for her fellow club members to arrive. Tonight, their mission is to provide warm and cozy blankets to those in need; as many as they can construct together in the time they have. Our main focus is to provide for community needs, she explained. Edmands asked the Veterans Hospital in Manchester what its needs were. The hospital requested lap blankets for their vets. Many veterans do not have anybody. They dont have families to buy them these items, Edmands explained. One of their challenges seems to be the misinterpretation of the clubs name. The word Junior in the clubs title can be misleading; the club is actually comprised of local ladies of all ages and stages in life. They are part of the General Federation of Womens Clubs, one of the worlds largest service organizations. Members annually contribute an average of 13 million volunteer hours and $37 million nationally through local club projects. Years ago, there were two separate groups, and people think we are a bunch of high school age girls but we are open to all ages, explained Sandy Nicholas, Recording Secretary. We are always looking for new members; we always need help, explained past President Debbie Dunn. The club advertised their need for help to the community in hopes that people would join them and see what the club is all about and perhaps join, Dunn explained. About a dozen charitable ladies joined Edmands this evening. Ladies converged around the tables and quickly tied layers of eece together by hand. They estimated that six toasty blankets would be completed this evening and Sandra, a generous member, offered to deliver the blankets to the Veterans Hospital herself. The Clubs biggest fundraiser is coming up on December 7 at Hudson Memorial School, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Its our craft fair and we have 100 tables of handmade items, said Dunn. The Club uses the funds raised at this event, about $3,000, to sponsor their annual scholarship. The Club is known for their many events throughout the year. We do a Bunny Breakfast in March, bake sales at elections and we feed people at the polls when they cant get home for supper.

If you dont mind losing your freedom, your childrens freedom and just love Central Control; Collectivism; Socialism; Communalism; Marxism; Leninism; Trotskyism; or Progressive Socialism.

The Arctic Opens Up

The article, Icy Frontier, in the October 2013 Military Officer magazine outlines the need for the U.S. to become more involved in the Arctic region. The melting ice could open up the Arctic Ocean to new shipping routes between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans which will cut 4,500 miles off the shipping lanes. The Arctic area contains a vast amount of oil and natural gas to be discovered and processed into energy. Russia is restoring an old military base on the New Siberian Islands (off eastern Siberia). A garrison is stationed there, and an airfield and naval facilities are under construction. President Putin wants to use the base to enhance Russias economic and security interests in the Arctic. Russia is also constructing a number of new ports in the Arctic and building nine new icebreakers to supplement ten existing icebreakers. The U.S. Navy lacks facilities in Alaska and does not have icebreakers. It has to rely on old U.S. Coast Guard icebreakers for support. The U.S. should evaluate the feasibility of constructing infra-structure in the Arctic and look at the possibility of establishing joint facilities with Canada.

We need to bolster our complement of icebreakers. Donald A. Moskowitz, Londonderry

GMS Celebrates and Honors Veterans with Songs, Skits, and Art
submitted by K. Sullivan On November 8, students of Litchelds Grifn Memorial School invited veterans from their families to a special assembly to honor and thank them for their service to the USA. The entire student body sang patriotic songs was an art collection where students used patriotic for them, including the National Anthem and a words as the center for posters done in red, white, very touching version of My Country Tis of Thee. They learned fun and energetic movements to go along with rousing versions of other songs like Youre a Grand Old Flag. Several students enacted a skit explaining who a veteran was. They pointed out that veterans are men and women who served our country in the military both at times of peace and war. A very moving tribute was made when students read the numbers of soldiers who lost their lives and were still living from each of the major wars and conicts throughout U.S. history. The backdrop for all of this Marine David Elliott with his daughter Alexis. Air Force Master Sergeant Mary Siperek with her daughter Danielle and Retired Air Force Master Sergeant Amy Wood and blue. Organized by Music Teacher Barbara LaBelle, Art Teacher Heidi Miller and teachers Danielle Mague and Margaret Sawicki, the event was a great way to help students understand Veterans Day and to show appreciation to the members of our community who have served.

A SMILE OF HEALTH
The development of cosmetic dentistry as a respected dental discipline is one of the sure signs that dentistry has kept up with modern technology. Cosmetic dentistry is a clear recognition of truth the medical profession realized long ago that feeling good about yourself is an essential element of maintaining, as well as regaining, good health. That's what cosmetic dentistry helps accomplish. By correcting visible imperfections, it increases your self esteem. After all, how much more difficult it is to think confidently, positively about yourself if your teeth are chipped, discolored, malformed, or marred by irregular spaces between them. A dentist skilled in the art of cosmetic dentistry overcomes those personality handicaps by bonding a wide range of composite materials to your teeth. I think you will find the results impressive. Among many improvements, a dentist can rebuild and reshape disfigured or chipped teeth, often making a crown unnecessary. . . fill in eroded areas. . . give teeth a uniform length. . . cover badly stained or discolored teeth with plastic facings that are almost indistinguishable from the natural enamel. The procedure is simple. The tooth surface is first etched. Then the composite is applied, shaped as required, and, in one typical procedure, hardened by exposure to a special curing light. And your dentist can accomplish this usually without drilling and in a single office visit. The latest technique in cosmetic dentistry is the use of porcelain laminate veneers. These veneers are also used to mask unsightly stains, fill spaces between teeth, and ultimately change ones smile. The results of this technique are more esthetic and longer lasting than conventional bonding. A smile of beauty can indeed be a smile of health.

JFK- continued from front page

Being from Massachusetts, he was our president, we had such a connection. Every woman wanted to be like Jackie Kennedy, she was so fashionable, and my mother was very beautiful and fashionable, too. We were Irish Catholic Democrats. This changed the way we thought, about how safe we felt in our world. We talked about it in school, we prayed, there were special Masses for the president. In fact, Eileen keeps the memory of her beloved mother and the Kennedys connected. My Mom passed away eight years ago, and I have her picture on a barrister bookcase along with different Kennedy books and items that remind me of her and of the Kennedys. It is a tribute to my Mom but also to my memories growing up. For Hudson Board of Selectmen Chairman Rick Maddox, his recollections are similar. I was ten years old, and I do remember vividly, I was coming home from school and my father was coming down the walk, holding a transistor radio, and he told me the president had been shot. We saw this entire event unfold that weekend, it was such a shock. Now we are inundated with 24-hour news cycles and programs, but then we did not have that. The whole nation just stopped, just shut down, and everyone watched the news on television, mostly on black and white TVs. At ten years old I had never really paid much attention to the news, but I did that weekend. Then, to see Jack Ruby (shoot Lee Harvey Oswald) all play out on TV - that was incredible. I still remember it. It was a turning point in history. Rick, as do others, wonders what could have been, had this not happened. Would we have gone to Vietnam? What would have been different? he asks. Charlotte Charlie Schweiss was a student at St Josephs High School for Girls in Lowell, MA when she heard the news. I was at basketball practice and someone came in and told us the president had been dead. I stayed up all night watching the news. I am from Massachusetts, I followed his campaigns, and he was young and Catholic. He was the rst person I voted for, for president. We were all just stunned, said Shirley. Every year, on the anniversary of the assassination, students at Alvirne High School, where Shirley works, ask Shirley to recall the events of 50 years ago. They want to know what I remember, what it felt like to be a part of that time in history. I can remember it like it was yesterday, she said. In 1963, Hudson Historical Society member Ruth Parker was working in her rst job after graduating from the University of New Hampshire, at a research lab at United Aircraft in East Hartford, CT. She recalls there was an announcement that the president had been shot and the facility closed for the day. I spent the whole rest of the weekend just watching the news. I called home, of course. It is history, and your whole life goes before you. I was glued to the news; I can still picture the little black and white TV set I had. I saw Oswald shot by Ruby, shared Ruth. In reecting upon the events of 50 years ago up to the present, Ruth continued, Every tragic change we go through, we adapt to. Like it or not, weve adapted around the tragedy of the events of 9-11. Every upheaval creates a new normal for the country. 50 years later, the United States still mourns the loss of President Kennedy. Who knows what he would have accomplished, had he lived? To quote John Greenleaf Whittier: Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these, It might have been.

shot. We all broke down and cried. It was devastating. I cried all the way home. We had the television on all the time; I remember we were eating Sunday dinner when Oswald was shot, right on television. We stayed home to watch the funeral on television. I dont think there were any dry eyes in the country. Referencing the musical associated with the Kennedy Years, she continued, It was Camelot. The White House was alive with children. We were living history. There was a special connection with the president, being from Massachusetts. It was so sad, Charlie said. I was busy at home with two of my children, Lori (1 1/2) and Emery (3 months old) that day, recalled Shirley Nadeau. My mother-in-law came up stairs to tell me the president had been shot. I put on the television right away, 603-888-5070 thinking he would be okay. Then, we heard nashuafuel.com the news that he was

submitted by Heidi Miller Campbell High School senior Andrew Picard contacted his former elementary school art teacher, Heidi Miller, expressing the immediate need for holiday cards for the military. Andrew rst became involved with MooreMart during the summer of 2012, when he needed to complete volunteer hours for his application to the National Honor Society. He found the experience so rewarding that he continues to volunteer for the organization. MooreMart provides our military personnel serving in Iraq and Afghanistan with needed items and supplies that will make their deployment a bit

During one art class session, Grifns fourth graders eagerly participated to help with Andrews quest. The students recycled old cards, ribbons, bows, buttons and glitter to create 103 holiday cards. Each package sent to the military, which serve our country, will hold one of these special greetings made by the students. This endeavor was a wonderful opportunity for the children to express thanks and to serve those who serve.

The Holiday Season Made Easy

(BPT) - Tis the season of wonderful company and delicious food! Its also that time of year to bring friends and family together, but preparing for holiday gatherings along with the hustle and bustle of holiday shopping can often be stressful and time consuming. In fact, Thanksgiving is the most stressful holiday for home cooks as more than one in three Millennials plans to host a gathering at their home and 57 percent have noted feeling pressure when preparing a holiday meal, according to the Allrecipes 2013 Annual Holiday Survey. Following are a few easy tips to simplify your holiday planning so you can spend more time with loved ones. Shopping survival From picking up last minute items on your gift list to gathering groceries for the big dinner, holiday shopping can be hectic. Before you shop til you drop, pack a quick and easy snack in an insulated cooler bag to get through the midday craze (and hunger pangs). Bag assorted fresh veggies and pair with a dip like Marzetti Otria Greek Yogurt Veggie Dip. The dips are available in ve different avors from Garden Herb Ranch to Cucumber Dill Feta - a great way to add extra avor to veggies. Mingle at the veggie bar Before guests arrive, create a colorful vegetable bar away from the kitchen for snacking and mingling before the big meal. Arrange the bar with a unique array of pre-cut veggies such as snap peas, asparagus, mushrooms, and peppers. Accompany the veggies with a variety of Marzetti Otria Greek Yogurt Veggie Dip avors like Spinach Artichoke and Caramelized Onion. These quick and tasty snacks keep guests occupied before the meal and helps keep last-minute stress at a minimum.

at the expense of the poor and middle class, wages remain at or decline, yet productivity, protability and wealth are at all time highs here in the U.S. No, the word you are looking for is plutocracy, which historically has always led to serfdom and aristocracy. Worse, the rich have bought up most of the news media and continuously broadcast a message of fear now. The target of that fear is, amusingly, the peoples own democratically elected government! This of course, is an effort to mask the real power players in the country who do not want to be constrained by the public at large deciding what is best for the people.

Which meant that the universe had the earth in the center with everything else around it. It wasnt like that was a terrible thing to do, but rather, it prevent people from gaining true knowledge. A few scientist before Galileo had given evidence and data to support the theory of

School Board- continued from front page

Once the decision is made to recruit, a set of acceptable but non-discriminatory criteria would need to be developed. If we chose to accept 10 students per year that (would) be $108,000 in revenue, about 4 cents on the tax rate. Due to the projected shortfall, the School Board requested School Administrators bring their ideas back to the Board as to nding ways to reorganize, as well as areas to decrease expenses. According to Superintendent Lane, the School Board was presented with a list involving staff reductions and reorganization ideas. We need to look at every position within our school system. Tutors vs. teachers, and which position would make the most sense for both funding and value. We are not looking at increasing the budget. We are looking at ways to increase value. Overall, we looked to decrease our current budget by $500,000, stated Superintendent Lane. He continued, Currently we are operating on the default budget, or the 2012-2013 school year budgets. We are only looking to increase the budget if there is an increase value to our students. The proposed budget increases in the FY-15 budget are a result of an additional $600,000 health benet charge, an additional $200,000 for contracted transportation service fees for special education children, and an expense of $300,000 to bring the Town of Hudson School SAU in line with state mandated focus monitoring. In short, this means that the Town of Hudson needs to compress the gap between regular education and special education in accordance with state mandate. In addition, all of the school unions are up for renegotiation this year, due to the fact that all wage increases for the past four years have been voted down by the voters. All others areas of the Town of Hudson School budget have been level funded for FY-15.

With hoop season just around the corner for Garons quintet, he added of Browns well-roundedness; hes the ultimate competitor and just a great kid to be around. Similarly, Lee who has had Brown under his tutelage since entering high school spoke of his ace amethrowers off-eld traits; freshman year was when Alvirnes Tyler Brown commits to the Huskies; (sitting L-R): Mary Lou Brown I rst saw him. He was a (mother), Tyler Brown, Shawn Brown (father); (standing L-R): Seth Garon, Mike Lee. young innocent pup back then but a high quality kid atmosphere to be around. from the get-go. Lee also spoke to Browns work According to two of Browns ardent supporters ethic, citing; hes a sponge wanting to learn as in the form of baseball coach Mike Lee and much about the game as he can. If he didnt have basketball coach Seth Garon, its not just his those character traits, he might not be where he is athletic talents that puts him at the forefront of his today, added Lee. by Marc Ayotte Alvirne Highs four sport athlete Tyler Brown has enjoyed three years of wearing the maroon and gold at various high school sports venues. With prior success on the gridiron, links and hardwood none have captured the passion or brought the level of success for the Broncos Brown than has his time spent on the diamond. More specically, so much success has the 6 foot 5 inch, 175 pound Brown experienced on the hill, it opened the gates to him signing a National Letter of Intent to play baseball for Northeastern University. Inside Alvirnes Checkers Restaurant on November 13, with family members, coaches and special guests witnessing the moment, the Bronco hurler committed to attend the Boston based university and play ball for Huskies Coach Mike Glavin. After being scouted locally by several colleges including Boston College and Dartmouth, the decision to head down to Huntington Ave became quite clear; (they) asked me to come visit, reected Brown on his rst campus visit, adding; and ever since then its been all Northeastern. I loved the school and coaches (and) the way the team plays; its a fun

Lee recalled Browns thrust into prominence after a discouraging freshman year and a sophomore season that saw him get pulled from the Broncos starting rotation. We worked-out things on the side to get him in the rhythm he needed to be in, Lee explained. As testimony to his character and work ethic, Brown bounced back from being pulled and in Lees words experienced his big coming out - in relief against Bishop Guertin. With a reective smile, Lee added, he was lights out. Working his way back into the starting rotation after a stretch of relief appearances, Brown posted a 2-hit, 3-0 complete game win versus Trinity and that, according to Lee, sent him in the direction hes in right now. Brown went on to have a stellar junior season, going 5-0 as a starter while making NHIAA 1st team all-state. Looking forward to the 2013 Bronco season, Brown offered, I think we should be good this year. We have good chemistry we just want to win. And having an 88 mph fastball in his arsenal is going to go a long way in having that successful season come to fruition.

Alvirne - Stdile Exchange Program; Parte Dois
Staff photo by Marc Ayotte

by Marc Ayotte Porto Alegre - the capital and largest city in the Brazilian State of Rio Grande do Sul. According to our friends at Wikipedia, its population of 1,509,939 inhabitants (2010) makes it the tenth most populous city in the country and the center of Brazils fourth largest metropolitan area, with 4,405,760 inhabitants (2010). Porto Alegre is one of the top cultural, political and economic centers of Brazil. Its also become known in some small New Hampshire circles as the home to one current AHS exchange student who has made a charismatic and long-lasting impact in Bronco Nation, both academically and athletically. Unlike Brazilian law during the 1960s that apparently prevented soccer great, Pele, from being able to accept numerous offers from European clubs to showcase his talents, thus rendering him a soccer captive in his native land, high school student exchange programs fortunately are not as stringent in 2013. Raul Stdile is one such exchange student who traded this school year at Colgio Farroupilha (High School) in Brazil for a shot at visiting the vastly less populated town of Hudson, NH and more specically, Alvirne High School. His decision was not random however, because as part of the exchange student criteria, a student has to be chosen by a host family, thereby rendering Rauls stay in the small New Hampshire town as an interesting and compelling story. In addition to his mom Carmen and father Geraldo, Raul has a total of

four siblings; sister Claudia and three brothers, Caio, Daniel and Theo. It was back in 2005 that Caio Stdile was also part of the exchange student program that saw him make his way to AHS and also play soccer for the Broncos. My dad did the exchange program, explained Raul adding, and he wanted it for all his children. It was during a visit to the States and Alvirne, when he was 9, that Raul recalls wanting to someday follow in the soccer footsteps of his older brother. Some seven years later, and much to the delight of the Alvirne soccer coaching staff, Rauls dreams came to fruition. And his long time goal, which he held for nearly half his life, reached heightened proportions with a real-time goal on the eld; scoring the tying goal with less than one minute remaining in regulation in this years semi-nal thriller against Manchester Central. His soccer interest began at the young age of 5; I started playing for a club team, noted Raul, and with a little memory jogging from his mom, added; it was Caio who taught me how to play soccer. With his talent level blossoming around the age of 10, Raul recalled, I was playing for the fun team then they moved me up to leagues to get more instruction. That translated into playing for the club team owned by the professional soccer team, SC Internacional for the ensuing years. As his trip to the States became imminent, the now close-knit circle that links the Stdile family and the respective host families began to take shape. Julie St. Louis was the American Mother to Caio during his stretch at Alvirne. It was her experience and familiarity with the exchange program along with her relationship with Deanna Richardson that paved the way to Rauls current stay with his new adopted family. Rauls current stay in the States began in August when he ew nearly 5,000 miles from Brazil to the Manchester airport where he was greeted by his American Family. In a delightful domestic setting, the Richardson family has made for a smooth and enjoyable cultural transition for the newest member of the even larger Bronco family. We were looking for a home and friends that would help the transition, offered Geraldo Senior & Veteran Discounts Stdile. The fact that the Richardson household already had high school students in the mix, brothers Matt and Brett, made the scenario that much Ask about our more enticing. In addition to receiving help from the Alvirne Guidance Department, Raul indicated he received academic assistance from his new brothers with respect to course selection; taking such courses as Marketing, 507 Charles Bancroft Hwy., Litchfield (beside Warren's) Economics and American Humanities. Just recently, Stdile received his rst American Report Card; being named to the Honor Roll thus reecting his academic aptitude in the classroom, in addition to his adeptness on 579 Amherst Street, Rt. 101A, NASHUA, NH the eld. Receiving the good news prompted a BESTLINCOLNNASHUA.COM 888-870-7217 proud Geraldo to interject, in sports he was tops and in studies too. On the social and athletic fronts, he could not be in a more comfortable E R Z O r o D F o e s w a n situation, sharing not only his new home with Brett e ! L Richardson but also sharing a ne season on the soccer eld. The two bonded personally and their respective soccer talents seemed to innately complement #LZ3436 Lease For one another between the lines, as the pair VIN#3LDR800756 played integral roles in the Bronco run to the /24 championship game.

that featured the aforementioned Caio, added that he thought Raul also adjusted very well in a social context. Athletically, it was Stediles nifty ball control, powerful leg and eld awareness that set-up his American Brother for several goals that aided in Richardson (19 goals, 14 assists) leading the team in scoring. It was also arguably his feel for the game and new-found connection with Richardson as a fellow forward that helped in the latters being named Division I, 1st team All-State. And while gathered with Raul, and other members of both families several days earlier, Geraldo somewhat prognosticated the NHIAAs eventual announcement regarding Bretts statewide recognition by offering; He (Raul) is staying in the home where they have the best player on the Alvirne team. Socially, Stdile is enjoying not only his new home but also the life style that a small community like Hudson has to offer. In Brazil, I live in a big city, indicated Raul, while comparatively adding; my life here is more calm. While saying that some things here are better and some things in Brazil are better, Stdile admits I can be more responsible here I (also) have more security, referencing the fact that he feels safe while walking in neighborhoods such as where the Richardsons reside. The responsibility aspect that Raul alluded to is directly correlated to the propensity and frequency of social gatherings that his dad Geraldo conrmed. Were a tropical country; it all leads to an easier way of life in terms of the youth having fun, elaborated number 11s dad. In his short stint thus far in Hudson, Raul has become involved with the community by joining forces with Brett and Deanna to coach soccer in the Hudson Recreation Program. On the food front, Stdile delved into a precarious, though sportive situation, comparing his new mothers menu to that of his native cuisine. But with a verbal skill emanating from someone who sounded like he was running for ofce in the AHS student government, he escaped; Although I love her cooking, I prefer Brazilian food. Currently being visited by family members who are enjoying an extended stay after ying here for the D-I soccer nals between Alvirne and Hanover at Bill Ball Stadium in Exeter, the Stdile family and especially Raul have hopes of someday residing in the United States. Not much has changed, confessed Raul, from when he rst visited brother Caio and his American Mother, recalling; I didnt want to go back to Brazil after visiting Julie. Similarly today, the player on loan from Brazil as Coach Jeff Bagwell referred to him during a recent email address on the AHS awards night, Stdile wants to stay in the U.S. With aspirations of someday going to an American college to study as well as play soccer, perhaps his dream is only in the infant stages, with many new memories still to be shaped.
