Kiwanis Ice Fishing Tournament Leaves
Everyone Smiling
Volume 26 Number 36 March 13, 2015 16 Pages
14-year-old Hudson resident Justin Sundstrom was all

smiles when he won the trophy for largest perch at
Sundays Hudson Kiwanis Club ice fishing derby.
We had pretty good weather after all, and

we had a decent turnout after rescheduling,
explained organizer Jim Woosley. Kiwanis
postponed the original date from Feb. 14 when
the area had one of its many 2015 blizzards.
The anglers competed for 18 trophies for kids
under 15, and adults fished for $300 in cash
prizes. We had 44 fish turned in and measured
today, said Woolsey.
Every derby the Kiwanis give away an Ice
Auger as the grand prize. This years winner
was Manchester resident Carl Radcliff, who was
standing holding his granddaughter.
This is our 29th year coming to this fishing
derby, beamed Carl Radcliff. We have four
generations of our family here at this derby. We
love coming; its fun and friendly, and everyone
wins prizes.
Winning first place in the adult division was
Goffstown resident John Moody with a 19-inch
pickerel. Moody, one of the early birds, was at the
pond just after 6:30 a.m., and caught the winner
before noon.
In the childrens division, Justin Sundstrom, 14,
of Hudson, was beaming after winning the largest
perch trophy in one of the childrens divisions. He
came with dad Tim for the first time.
Kiwanis mission is to better the life of kids,
one child at a time, explained President Paul
Rousseau. Despite the cold, wind, and snow,
there are lots of smiles to go around. Not one
child out here isnt smiling. Thats what Kiwanis is
all about.

Sergeant Honored for 20 Years of Service
One of Litchfields
Best Given a Day to
Shine
by Len Lathrop
Linda Peoples had spent the day in the center of New Hampshire
being honored as one of WZIDs top 20 women of 2015. Her
daughter had submitted her name and WZID had chosen her.
Well, in Litchfield, that just was not just enough. Friends and
family had been summoned by the Litchfield Lions Club and the
Litchfield Community Presbyterian Church to honor Linda with
dinner. Everyone was arriving ,the church hall was decorated
and along the wall was an array of food. A quick count saw 10
crock pots, finger sandwiches and, of course, chicken fingers from
the Puritan Back Room in Manchester, which Matt McQuesten
proclaimed to be Lindas favorite food. Bean dishes, both brown
and green, and many different types of cheeses also were offered.
As Chrissie McQuesten explained, Linda does as much for the
town with coordinating the Angel Tree at the Christmas holidays to
being a deacon at the church, to holding many different positions
with the Lions Club of Litchfield and running the community food
pantry. This award had to be celebrated for their dear friend.
Did you see the cake with the picture of Linda and her daughter
on it?

Mixed Directions from

Voters Following Tuesdays Election
by Len Lathrop
As Paul Inderbitsen, the Hudson
Moderator for both school district results
and town balloting, read the tallies, the
room was very quiet; most everyone just
recording the unofficial tally on sample
ballots.
For Hudson Board of Selectmen, Marilyn
McGrath led the race with 1,015 votes.
For the other open seat on the board,
former selectman Ted Luszey and political
newcomer Jared Stevens were only separated
by six votes with Luszey at 855 and Stevens
at 849. As of press time Wednesday, Stevens
had not asked for a recount, which he has
until Friday to do. Political veterans advised
that six votes were achievable on a recount.
Others vying for the seat - Brownrigg, Kahn
and Martin -were all under 600 votes. In the
other seats elected for town leadership all
candidates were unopposed.
Switching to the candidates for school
board, Ben Nadeau moved to the school
board from his current selectmans seat
topping Cheryl Cummings by 1,018 votes
to her 867 with the third candidate, Peggy
Huard, receiving 465.
Campaigning outside the community center, Nadeau wins; only six votes
The warrant article voting saw the new fire
separate Luszey and Stevens for the second selectmans seat.
station planned for Lowell Road was rejected
by 314 votes; as a bonding issue it would have
taken a three-fifths margin of the 2,748 ballots casted or 1,649 to be approved and funded. Other nos came to the school district
operating budget by 187 votes and the AFSCME contract for school principals, assistant principals, school counselors, directors,
department heads, dean of academics, transition coordinator, community business liaison and library media specialists, which failed
by 93 votes. Also being rejected were the two petition questions about tax exemptions for solar power equipment on homes and the
resolution about national election funding.
As the Hudson politicos left the Community Center Tuesday night two questions hung in the air: will Stevens ask for a selectman
recount and will the school district hold the one special election allowed by RSA 40:13 to get the district budget approved?

Hudson Selectmen Respond to Mother Nature

by Len Lathrop
As can be expected with the winter that we are having, not the
winter we had, as it might not be over, the cost of snow removal
have exceeded the budget that the road agent presented to the
selectmen in October of 2013, yes 15 months ago. Kevin Burns
has been with the town for what seems like forever, but it is more
like 29 years. He opened his comments to the board of selectmen
by stating that there has been over 101 inches of snow in Hudson
with most of the storms occurring in a five- to six-week period. The
highway budget is depleted and he needs $100,000 to continue the
operations this year.
The shortfalls breakdown into five different budget lines:
$20,000 in overtime pay;
$20,000 in salt;
$10,000 in gas;
$10,000 in diesel fuel; and
$40,000 in equipment repair.
Chairman Coutu admonished a selectman candidate, who
made comments about lack of transparency in transfer money and
mentioned a multitude of times that everything is and always has
been done in public. He added that the full board always voted for
any transfers and it was always well documented.
The plan to correct the shortfall, which was prepared by
Financial Director Kathy Carpentier, in conjunction with Town
Administrator Steve Maliza and Kevin Burns, was to move the
funding from the following line items, where there appears, based
on current spending, to be available funds:
$15,000 from the towns services for the poor;
$10,000 from the legal services budget;

$50,000 from the board of selectmans contingency fund;
and
$25,000 from funds ear marked for separation of storm
water runoff from the sewer lines, a state recommended
project but not yet mandated.
Burns explained that this years spring clean up will be more
difficult. Between storm damage and the massive amounts of
sand and salt used, more will have to be picked up. The line item
transfer motioned passed 5-0.
Outside contractors are used to do the school lots under the
highway departments supervision. That line item is budgeted at
$25,000 and, thus far, $10,000 has been expended this year. After
some discussion a motion was made to ask the school department
for $25,000 to help eradicate the shortfall. The motion passed 5-0.
Each selectman spoke about the excellent job that Burns and
his men did and even, at one point, that Nashua should take some
lessons from Hudson.
Burns explained that this crew is small with no replacement to
come in for a second shift, and so his guys just keep going. Burns
wanted to close by thanking his crew for the great job they do and
mention, even if they had been out for 12 hours and only home
for three, when called they all answered their phones and headed
back in.
Readers should not be confused by these transfers as the money
is already in the budget and will not, by themselves, create a tax
increase.

At 7:21 p.m., Monday,
March 9, a resident
living on Shoal Creek
Road notified Hudson
firefighters of a natural
gas leak at the rear of the
four-unit condominium
building. On arrival
Captain Kevin Grebinar
reported a substantial leak
and requested additional
fire apparatus and Liberty
Utilities to the scene.
Firefighters found a
large piece of ice fell from
the roof shearing the gas
meter causing the leak. A
hose line was stretched as
a precaution and several
residents were evacuated
from the building.
Firefighters checked the
building with air monitors finding low reading of gas.
Power to the building was shut down by Eversourse,
removing any possibility of a spark setting of the gas
fumes. As firefighters worked to control the first leak, a
second gas leak was found in the rear of the building.
Liberty Utilities shut down the gas allowing firefighters
to vent the four units in the building, and the call was
placed under control at 8:18 p.m. There were no injuries
reported.
Two units remained uninhabitable until the gas piping
can be repaired and power turned back on to the effected
units. Fourteen firefighters, officers and a chief officer
from the Central, Burns Hill and Robinson Road fire
stations staffed one engine, one ladder, one ambulance
and three command vehicles from Hudson and 1 engine
from Nashua responded to the scene.
Ice fell on the gas line; an upright pipe can be seen next to the deck.

In this c. 1960 aerial photo of Lowell Road and Central Street
there are no signs of the traffic or of the traffic lights of today.
Central Street runs horizontally along the middle of the photo
with Lowell Road coming down toward the right. Just above this
intersection is Hurley Street, which appears as an unpaved road.
In the upper left is the Lions Club Community swimming pool
between Library and Hurley streets. This pool operated between
1954 and 1968, at which time increased operating costs required it
be closed. The overpass for the B&M Railroad right of way crossed
Lowell Road and proceeded along Central Street toward Hudson
Center. The tracks and metal connected with this overpass were
removed for scrap metal in 1942; but, the abutments on either side
of Lowell Road remained into the 1950s. By the time of this photo,
these abutments had also been removed. The triangular piece of
land at the intersection of Central and Lowell is now Hammond
Park, the Fire Department Memorial.
It is interesting to see the open space around many of the homes
with their family or community gardens. I would like to hear
from any of our readers who can add to the detail to help date this
photo. The photo was donated to the society by the family of Leon
and Gerri Hammond.

Celebrating Spirit of Volunteerism

Appreciated
I would like to thank the Litchfield Community for its strong showing of
support for the first annual Pat Jewett Volunteer Appreciation Day. Those
of you, who attended the presentation and/or dinner, thank you. Pat was
thrilled to have you there. For those of you, who participated in the Towns
Letters to Pat Drive, thank you. Pat was overwhelmed by the number of
letters and cards she received, and appreciated each sentiment. To Naticook
Grill & Chef Marco Salerno, a local restaurant in Litchfield, thank you
catering our dinner and for your delicious food. Pat and all of our guests
really enjoyed their dinner. To all of the Towns volunteers, thank you for
all that you do to make our community the great place it is. As we go
forward, I hope that all of us continue to embody Pats spirit of volunteerism
and civic duty, and look forward to the Towns second annual Pat Jewett
Volunteer Appreciation Day in March, 2016!

World at War
President Obama refuses to refer to ISIL, Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah,
the Quds Force, and others as Islamic terrorists. He tends to mischaracterize
the attacks by the radical Islamic terrorists on Christians, Jews, and other
non-Muslims, and he seems hesitant to vigorously take the fight to the
terrorists. Why is that?
Our President referred to the attack on a Paris Jewish deli saying
attackers randomly shot a bunch of folks in a deli in Paris. In fact the
victims were sought out, shot and killed because they were Jews. In response
to the beheading of the 21 Coptic Christians the White House said they
were Egyptian citizens, and then stated ISIL attacks are unconstrained by
faith, sect or ethnicity. This rhetoric seems to be designed to downplay the
seriousness of Islamic terrorist attacks and avoid offending Muslims.
The Obama administration talks about creating economic opportunities
and jobs in the Islamic world as a cure for Islamic extremism. How can this
work when radical Islamic ideology states Islam is the only true religion and
non-Muslims have to convert, or pay tribute, or be killed?
The world is at war with the scourge of radical Islamic terrorism.
Where do you Stand on the Pipeline?

Thumbs up. Litchfield Board has announced on the town website
documents/pipeline page that there is a K-M pipeline public meeting
scheduled for March 26. Follow the town site for the exact time and
location. This is a great opportunity for landowners in Litchfield to express
their opinions about the K-M land grab in Litchfield. Make no mistake
about this project; its a lousy way to ruin a small town. Theyre going to
ruin a ton of property value, create a Detroit like real estate bust, and pay
the town a pittance in revenue for the doing.
All residents that want Litchfield to stay the way it is need to do four
things. Go to the FERC page, register to comment and comment in the
negative. Go back again and post your denial to allow survey of your
property. Print that denial and mail a hard copy of it to the Police Chief.
Go to this meeting and Have another copy of your denial to survey with you
in case an actual FERC rep is present. You can a good collection of the docs
and links for all of this at the towns website, under documents / pipeline.
Your town elected officials will pull for you, but they need to know where
you are on this. If you dont want to give your property away for little or no
payback you need to act out in opposition to this.

Frigid and Fluffy February 2015: a Month Like no Other in our Lifetime
by Joseph DAleo, Certified
Consulting Meteorologist
(CCM)
No one who has
lived in southern New
Hampshire or the Boston
area has experienced a sixweek period or calendar
month as extreme for the
combination of cold and
snow as we have had
this late winter. Here in
the Nashua area, where records have been kept at the Pennichuck
Water works since 1886, February 2015 was the coldest month
ever recorded with an average temperature of 12.2F. It beat out
January 1888, which had averaged 12.9F according to Hudsons
fellow meteorologist Doug Webster. A record 18 days had low
temperatures zero or below (as cold as 14F below). Twenty-five days
remained freezing or below, also a record.
In Boston, where temperature records began in 1872, this month
was exceeded only by February 1934 and only because of one arctic
outbreak that came with northerly winds, which brought Boston
their all-time record of -18F in 1934. This year the cold came with
more of a westerly wind, which warms the air as it sinks from the
higher elevations to the west and further as it crosses the urban
center. Although away from the city it dropped twice to -14 to -17F
in Bedford and Norwood, the low in Boston this February was minus
3F.
The cold in February 2015 was not confined to the Boston-Nashua
area. It was the coldest month ever in Worcester, Hartford and
Portland. It was the coldest February in Chicago and Cleveland and
third coldest in New York City, fifth coldest month ever in Detroit
and Baltimore, both with records back into the early 1870s.
The year Nashua replaced, 1888, was the year was the year of the
Blizzard of 88 in March - a scary thought.
That storm called The Great White Hurricane dumped as much
as 50 inches of snow in parts of Connecticut and Massachusetts,
while parts of New Jersey and New York had up to 40 inches.
Weather Whys
and Climate Wise
Drifts were reported to average 30-40 feet,
over the tops of houses from New York to
New England, with reports of drifts covering
three-story houses. That storm spared eastern
New England its worst as milder Atlantic air
dominated the early stages of that storm - with
less than 2 feet here in the Nashua area and
just 12 inches in Boston although 42 inches fell
in southwest New Hampshire at Dublin.
2015 in Nashua had a record February for
snowfall, though Boston had more with 64.6
inches and 100.4 inches since Jan. 24. The
105.7 inches was second only to 107.6 inch
record from 1995/96. The snow that year was
spread out over 6 months with thaws, not concentrated so much in
six weeks. The 40-day snow blitz and the intense cold is why the
snow piles were so high this year. We are still vulnerable to late
snowstorms (and a big one is not out of the question).
Only 1717 Beat This?
Looking back through accounts of big snows in New England by
the late weather historian David Ludlum, it appears for the eastern
areas, this winters snow blitz may have delivered the most snow
since perhaps 1717.
That year, snows had reached 5 feet in December with drifts
of 25 feet in January before one great last assault in late February
into early March of 40 to 60 more inches. The snow was so deep
that people could only leave their houses from the second floor,

implying actual snow depths of as much as 8 feet or more. The New

England Historical Societys account indicated New Hampshire,
Massachusetts and Connecticut were hardest hit, a lot like 2015.
http://www.newenglandhistoricalsociety.com/great-snow-of-1717.
Entire houses were covered over, identifiable only by a thin curl
of smoke coming out of a hole in the snow. In Hampton, N.H.,
search parties went out after the storms hunting for elderly people
at risk of freezing to death ... Sometimes they were found burning
their furniture because they couldnt get to the woodshed. People
maintained tunnels and paths through the snow from house to
house.
The driver for this winter was a peculiar configuration of ocean
warm and cold pools, similar to the frigid winters of 1916/17,
1917/18, 1976/77 and 1977/78. We correctly forecasted the last
two historic winters many months in advance based on the ocean
patterns. The models suggest the ocean temperatures remain in this
configuration this spring and summer resulting in a cool spring and
relatively cool and wet summer.
You may have heard or read that the increased snow is consistent
with global warming because warmer air holds more moisture. In
actual fact, only one of the 14 years with more than 60 inches
of snow in Boston was warmer than normal. During the 40
days of snowy weather this winter, we averaged over 11F below
normal. Cooling increases snowfall not warming. Indeed, winter
temperatures have cooled over the last two decades in the United
States, which fits with the fact that the 10-year running mean of
Boston area snowfall has increased to the highest level since snow
records were first kept in 1890.

The Tax Return-The Value of Fringe

Benefits (Part 1)
W.F.Boutin EA - Total Tax Solutions LLC
Town of Hudson
Many employers offer their employees a fringe benefit package.

These packages can range from elective deferral plans such as
401K, Thrift Savings Plans, 403B tax sheltered annuity plans, or
cafeteria/section 125 plans that offer a menu of benefits that can
be purchased with pre-tax dollars. Some employers offer benefits
which are completely paid for by the employer such as adoption
assistance plans, dependent care assistance, educational
assistance, that is excludable within certain established limits
from the employees earned income.
When these benefits are paid for from the taxpayers salary on a
pre-taxed basis, taxpayers are able to lower their gross income,
AGI and taxable income on the tax return. In the majority of
cases, this will save the taxpayer considerable tax dollars. There
are the exceptions for individuals within a particular income
bracket and filing status that actually will lose tax dollars from
partaking in these benefit plans. A seasoned tax professional
should be able to explain if participation in these types of plans is
beneficial for your particular circumstances.
Elective deferral plans are savings plans geared for your retirement. These deferrals are not subject to income tax until you
receive distributions from the plan at some future point in time.
The intent is that you will be in a lower tax bracket at the time of
retirement or at the same level. Many employers also offer a
contribution match up to a certain percent of the employees
salary, for those who participate in such a plan. Lets look at an
example of how this all works.
John, a single taxpayer, has gross income from wages of
$82,000. According to the tax tables he is in a 25% tax bracket.
He has no other income. After we deduct his standard deduction
and personal exemption in 2014, his taxable income is $71,850,
of which $34,950 is still in the 25% tax bracket. His employer
offers a 401K plan that allows him to contribute up to 10% of his
salary with an employer match of up to 5%. John elects to
contribute 10% of his salary or $8200. His employer will match
up to 5%, so he will receive the additional amount of $4100 tax
free to work towards his retirement. This $12,300 only cost John
$6150.00 since if he had not deferred the $8200, he would be
paying $2050 in federal taxes on this income (he is in a 25%tax
bracket and he would not have received his employer match).
Ironically, John also had some education expenses to deduct
this year. The phase out range for a single person for this credit is
between $80,000 and $90,000 in 2014. Before he deferred some
of his income to his retirement fund, his AGI was the same as his
wages $82,000, so part of his credit was not allowed. By contributing to his 401K, he has lowered his gross income and his AGI to
$72,000. He will now be allowed full credit for his education
expenses.
As stated before, each taxpayers situation is different based
upon other information on their particular income tax return. A
change in one area of the return can affect several other areas, so
when making decisions, the total picture must be reviewed.

How to Choose a Short-Term

Care Rehabilitation Facility
by Brunilda Mejia, Fairview Healthcare

Most people hope to go directly home from the hospital
after surgery or being ill, but even if you and your doctor made
arrangements for you to return home, your recovery may be slower
than expected. As a result, you may need to be transferred to a
Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) for a short stay.
Skilled nursing facilities provide care for people who are not yet
able care for themselves at home. During your stay at the skilled
nursing facility, the social worker will begin to plan your discharge.
The goal is for you to be healthy and safe when returning home.
You may need services at home and the social worker will help in
coordinating your needs.
Planning
Weeks before your
surgery, discharge
planning should
take place with your
doctors and nurses.
If your stay in the
hospital was not
planned, you or your
family member should
talk about discharge
planning with your
provider as soon as
possible during your
time in the hospital.
Most hospitals have
discharge planners
or case managers.
They will provide you
with information and
support.
Planning ahead
helps ensure you can
go to a place that
provides high-quality
care and is located
where you would
like it to be. Make
some time to tour the
facilities in your area.
If you have a hospital
stay and your provider
recommends a shortterm stay at a SNF, planning ahead will
help you make an educated decision
about where you want to go for rehab.
You should not wait for an unexpected
hospital admission to decide where
you want to go. Plan for a morning or
afternoon to tour facilities in your area.
You can schedule an appointment or
just show up unannounced.
Please keep in mind:
You should have more than
one choice. If there is no bed
available in the SNF that is
your first choice, the hospital
will need to transfer you to

Make sure the case manager knows about the places you
have chosen.
Documents to keep available for your SNF admission:
insurance cards and health care power of attorney
documents.
Choosing the right facility for you
Keep in mind, the most important goal is to return safely to your
home. The high quality of care you receive at this facility will play
a big role in getting you home. When looking into the facilities
that are close to you or those recommended to you by friends or
family, find out more about them.
Here are some sample questions to ask while touring:
Have they taken care of people with your same medical
condition?
Do they have physical therapists, occupational therapists,
and speech therapists?
What would your treatment plan look like, e.g., how
many days a week is rehab provided, how long are the
sessions, how many therapists are in the facility?
Who takes care of your discharge and how is the
discharge coordinated?
Will the staff take the time to train you and your family
about the care you will need at home?
Is it a certified facility and what insurance do they accept?
While walking through take time to look in the rooms,
bathrooms, the rehab gym, dining rooms, and feel
free to talk to the staff. You can ask to speak with the
Administrator, the Director of Nursing and the Rehab
Manager.
Is the facility clean and well kept?
When touring, what is the environment or atmosphere
like? Happy? Motivational staff? Friendly?
Ask about their visiting hours, meals, laundry, hair dresser
services, and activities.
What additional services are provided and are they
covered by your insurance?
How many nurses and nursing assistants are available
during the day and night?
Make sure to ask for an information packet and business
card for additional questions or information.
Touring the different facilities in your area and getting the
answers to all these questions will assist you in choosing a facility
that is just right for you and your needs.
If you would like a tour of the Fairview Healthcare campus,
please contact the admission office at 882-5261. We will be happy
to meet with you and show you our state-of-the-art campus.

administrator, presented
me with a square cardboard plaque with the help of the selectmen. It was to
show my frugality with the town and school budgets. I had told them, Dont
buy me another plaque, I would rather you make me a cardboard one and
save the towns money. I will treasure that for years.
Laura Gandia, thank you for all the effort and time you put into such a great
day.
I gave a summary of my 27 years as a selectman. Some of the memories
were funny, sad, most rewarding, hardest, surprising and time consuming. I
hope some of them will encourage others to carry them on.
The group then went to the cafeteria to a super dinner.
Thanks for the notes, cards, flowers, gifts and attending this function. I
could never have done all that I did without all the volunteers help.

Senator Carson
Proposes
Updated Voter
Residency
Requirements
submitted by Melina Prevel-Turmel, Library Media Specialist

To honor Dr. Seusss birthday on March 2, Griffin Memorial School
celebrated Read Across America with Crazy Hat Day and an assembly.
During the assembly, the students sang Dr. Seuss, We Love You! led by
the music teacher, Mrs. LaBelle. The students also read aloud The Readers
Oath, and watched a performance of All About Those Books by some
of the staff members. The fun didnt end there! Many people participated
in different Dr. Seuss related themes, such as Wacky Wednesday. The
lunch for each day corresponded to a famous childrens book. On the last
day, the younger children were paired with older children for some special
reading buddy time. It was be a week to remember for quite some time.
submitted by Senate Communications Office

The Public and Municipal Affairs Committee
heard a bill on Wednesday that would clarify the
residency requirement for voting purposes in New
Hampshire.
The bill, SB 4, replaces the definition of domicile
for voting purposes to more clearly identify New
Hampshire residents who are legally able to vote in
the state.
Senator Sharon Carson (R-Londonderry), the
prime bill sponsor, released a statement following
the hearing:
The intention of this bill is to make sure legal
residents of our state have meaningful elections so
voters can affect change in the communities they are
invested in, said Senator Carson.
New Hampshires current voting law does not
clearly define the qualifications of a voting resident
in the state. This bill, SB 4, serves to clarify the
definition of a legal voting resident as 46 other states
have done.
The Secretary of State Bill Gardner and I worked
to produce a bill that would clarify the meaning of
being a legal resident for voting purposes without
infringing on an individuals right to vote. Secretary
Gardner is the states authority on elections and he
has given his support of this bill, Carson continued.

guys to get your act together? You charge
a fortune for products that dont work and
the left hand has no clue what the right is
doing. Since you forced these new and
improved modems on us my service is
absolutely awful! My WI-FI never stays

Hudson firefighters on Thursday, March 5, were
alerted to a structure fire on Webster Street. Fire
Alarm received a 9-1-1 call at 2:38 p.m. from a
person in the neighboring business reporting the fire.
On arrival Fire Chief Buxton found smoke showing
from the one-story residential apartment and struck
working fire, bringing additional Hudson and
Nashua apparatus to the scene.
Fire crews made an interior attack finding a fire
centered in the living room of the home. Additional
crews were assigned to stretch a second backup
hose line and complete primary and secondary
searches for occupants. Firefighters were successful
in stopping the fire spread from spreading beyond
the room of origin. No one was at home at the time
of the fire, and no civilian or firefighter injuries were
reported. Firefighters were hampered by a frozen
fire hydrant in front of the building.
The bulk of the fire was knocked down 21
minutes after arrival of fire companies. A total of
21 firefighters and officers staffing four engines, two
ladders, and four command vehicles operated at the
scene.

Hudson Heat team
was able to easily
win throughout
the two-day
tournament, most
games by 15-plus points.
These wins placed them in the championship game on Sunday.
Their opponent would be a tough eighth grade team from Concord
Boys and Girls Club that were physically bigger and stronger then the
Hudson seventh grade team. Concord had won the tournament three
years in a row. Even though they fought hard, Hudson fell to Concord
to take runner-up in the championship game. Coach Doug Mullett
said he has never been more proud of how the boys played during the
tournament. Sam Mullett and Cameron Jones were named to the All
Tournament Team.

Bergeron Reaches 1,000-Point Milestone;
Cougars Advance to Semis
Staff photos by Jacob Gagnon
Bergeron drives through a Mascoma defender in Campbells first-round victory.

by Jacob Gagnon
Thursday, March 5, was a big day for the Campbell High School
program as they accomplished two impressive feats in the same
evening. The Cougars rolled past Mascoma High School, 49-36,
in the opening round of the NHIAA Division III Championship
Tournament, and team leader Zach Bergeron, a senior, scored his
1,000th career point in the same contest.
The first half started off close, with the fifth-seeded Campbell
jumping out to an 11-3 lead before the 13th-seeded Royals
responded with a run of their own. The Cougars led just 14-10 at
the end of the first quarter. While Campbell was the heavy favorite,
each player must combat postseason nerves. I think everybody is
a little bit nervous in that first tournament game because its win or
go home, said Coach John Langlois. We came at them and they
(Mascoma) came back to their credit. Then, we extended again
with a nice run in the second quarter.
Campbells first-quarter momentum vanished in the opening
minutes of the second quarter as the Royals tied the game at
14 points apiece. Bergeron and sophomore Harrison Vedrani
helped stop that slide by contributing to a Cougar offensive attack.
Campbell led 26-16 at the half.
I thought we played really well, especially defensively. We
caused a lot of havoc, said Langlois. We worked hard in shutting
them down in the third quarter and extending that lead.
The second half was all Campbell. The Cougars began to find

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 free throws out of 20 the youth could sink.
Boys and girls ages 10-14 participated in this competition.
All of the youth did quite well in a tough, closely fought
competition across all age groups, particularly Cameron Jones who
hit an impressive 18 of 20 baskets.

explosive offense helped expose Mascomas defensive weaknesses
and allowed Campbell to extend their lead to 38-23 with one
quarter remaining. Except for a few times when we did not have
quite enough patience, I thought our offense was good, said
Langlois.
With less than two minutes remaining and his team leading by
nearly 20 points, Zach Bergeron took to the foul line and drained
his first basket amid hushed breath and crossed fingers. Bergeron
had scored his 1,000th career point. The game stopped for a
moment as the community recognized his accomplishment. When
the game resumed, Bergeron helped his team seal the victory, 4936, and earn a spot in the quarterfinals.
Zach Bergeron has meant a lot (to the program). Hes a great
basketball player and, more than that, hes a great young man, said
Langlois. He has worked hard to get this and he deserves it. Im
real happy for him.
Bergeron led the Cougars in the game with 23 points. Vedrani

Lady Broncos Playoff
Run Snapped by Central
Broncos Comeback Bid Falls a

Little Green Short
by Marc Ayotte
It was the most anomalous of beginnings. It
was the saddest of endings. In a gut-wrenching
two-minute span, the youthfully spirited and
talented Alvirne (13-7) girls Basketball team
saw its semi-final aspirations unravel and come
to a disheartening conclusion in the Queen
City on Friday, March 6. Number three-seeded
Manchester Central (16-4) went on an 8-0 run in
the games last 121 seconds to defeat the Lady
Broncos, 38-35, in Division I quarterfinals action.
Alvirne advanced to the second round of the
NHIAA state tournament after pouncing on the
Panthers of Nashua South by a 61-37 score.
Manchester Central earned their second home
playoff game after clobbering Keene, 62-34.
In a stunning display of simply not being able
to get the ball to fall through the cylinder, both
teams, with nervous jitters apparent, stumbled
their way through the first quarter. The first eight
minutes, although featuring some playoff-like,
defensive intensity, was mostly noted for the
combined scoring ineptness that resulted in the
Broncos grabbing an all-but-scintillating 5-0 lead.
You read that correctly. Thanks to an Amanda
Wetmore foul shot, and turnaround bank shot
from in the paint, along with a short jumper
by Emily Barry (six points), the Broncos were
the beneficiary of a snails-paced offensive
outburst, stunning the host Little Green and their
contingent.
However, Central wasted little time getting
on the board in the second stanza. Just eight
seconds in, a Mary Soares inside hoop and a pair
of Caitlyn Vincent trifectas spearheaded a 12-3
Little Green run that resulted in a 12-12 stalemate
as both teams wearily made their way to their
respective locker rooms. Despite the frequency
of clanks on the rim and 15 footers soaring
through the air for 17 feet, the equal level of jitters
displayed by each team led to, in its own unique
way, an entertaining first half.
In the third, Central clamped-down defensively
while enjoying a 6-0 start; creating an 18-12
advantage and causing Coach Steve Tracy to call a
time out with 5:10 showing on the clock. When
play resumed, Marissa Sweeneys kiss off the glass
quickly cut the lead back down to four. Despite a

continued Lynch, in assessing Alvirnes ability to
outscore Central, 49-36 in the second half. The
Broncos posted 25 points in the third to overcome
a deficit that had skied to 18 points. Heading into
the final frame, Alvirne had narrowed the Little
Greens advantage to 11, at 61-50.

sequence started with a Sydney Richard tres
with 1:20 left, making it 35-33. A pair of free
throw misses by Alvirne was followed by another
Vincent rain-maker from behind the arc; her
fourth of the night giving Central a 36-35 lead
with 41 ticks remaining. Another pair of costly,
missed free throws by Alvirne with :24.4 on the
clock gave the Little Green possession of the rock.
What proved to be very impactful in the waning
seconds of the game was Alvirnes team foul
situation. Because they had played such a foulfree fourth quarter, it took five Bronco intentional
fouls, chewing up valuable seconds before Central
went to the line. Once there, with just :06.9
left, Devin LaCroix scored her only two points of
the game when she calmly drained both of her
attempts. Having to go the distance of the court
and needing a triple to force overtime, a last
second desperation heave went unanswered, and
a very successful Lady Bronco season had come
to an abrupt end.

with an impressive 17-1 mark on the year; good
for second place behind Londonderry who
finished the regular campaign with a tidy 18-0
record.
In traditional fashion, a pre-game ceremony
recognized the plethora of seniors comprising the
boys team, as well as the Bronco cheerleaders.
But the good times lasted only one quarter as
Alvirne stayed close for the first eight minutes
but then saw Central take a slim 18-16 lead
after one, and morph it into a commanding 4125 bulge, heading into the half. Justifying his
decision to stay with a zone defense as opposed
to going man-to-man, Lynch said,
theyre so quick. But after the
intermission things were different

doing what he does best - finding the open man;
Richardson gave us a huge lift coming off the
bench - distributing the ball, noted Lynch.
Approaching the half way point of the fourth,
Alvirne made it a one possession game, trimming
the Central lead to 68-65. And with 3:45 showing
on the clock, another Bronco hoop had pulled
them to within a single point, at 68-67. In the
ensuing 90 seconds, Central had upped the lead
to five before an Alvirne hoop made it once
again, a one possession game; setting the stage
for Notinis timely, albeit temporarily embraced
heroics.
The Broncos enjoyed a widespread attack as
11 players entered the scoring column. Leading
Alvirne was senior, Sam-Bonney Lash with 13,
while Connor Hodsdon and Andrew Wetmore
were close behind with a dozen apiece.
Rounding out the Bronco scoring were Evan
Hunt (8), Justin Glazer-Thomas (7), Dan Tucci
(6), George Notini (5), Brett Richardson (4), Dan
Brown (4), Tyler Janko (2) and Davin Secchiaroli
with one.

It would have made for a sweet celebration, but
with just three ticks left on the clock in a game
between host Alvirne and Manchester Central,
Oumaru Kante had other plans. After the Broncos
had tied the score on a clutch tres from George
Notini with 47 seconds left in regulation, Kante
kinda put the kibosh on Alvirnes hopes of halting
its season-ending six-game skid.
The kid hit a great shot, recalled AHS Coach
Brian Lynch of Kantes dagger, adding consolingly;
it was great defense by Notini. In all, the longrange shooting Little Green buried 12 triples en
route to spoiling Senior Night in Bronco Nation by
the score of 77-74.
With the loss, Alvirne slipped to an even 9-9
on the year; good for an eighth-place finish in
the D-I standings. Nonetheless, a home game
against Merrimack lied in wait for AHS in the first
round of the NHIAA state tournament. Earlier in
the season the two teams met head-to-head in
Hudson with the Broncos topping the Tomahawks,

key AND 1 from Centrals Sara Swetland, Alvirne
used three Nicole Teague free throws in the final
2:03 to pull within three, at 25-22, heading into
the decisive fourth quarter.
Trailing 27-23, the Lady Broncos struck for a
quick six. Back-to-back tres from Wetmore (11
points) and Jess Baker (eight points, two triples)
ignited the Alvirne supporters who made the trip
from Hudson while also giving the Broncos a 2927 lead with 6:15 remaining. Thirty-four seconds
later, Wetmore finished-off a fast break hoop with
an AND 1 of her own and suddenly Central
seemed shell-shocked as well as on the light side
of a 32-27 score.
But the Little Green would come back in a Big
Way. Exactly one minute after Wetmores hoop
matched the Broncos largest lead of the game,
Vincent (game-high 12 points) landed yet another
three-point bomb, her third of the night, cutting
the Central deficit to three, at 32-30. A Wetmore
foul shot, combined with a pair of key makes from
the charity stripe by Kaycee Carbone, gave Alvirne
a 35-30 advantage with 2:01 between them and
an appearance at the Final Four.
Central then went trifecta-mangy. The pivotal
